I turned 19 last weekend!!! :D

Had an awesome birthday!

Hope you guys enjoy the update!

After a few moments, being in the presence of the Rebels cast, Ben and Sebastian's bodies glowed, and their designs were changed from 2-D, to 3-D. 

The various types of animation depend on the characters. If you were originally a 2-D character, stay near a 3-D character long enough, or enter a 3-D town, and you'll turn into that. 

Disney even built a special home for the majority of the 3-D characters called Pixar City, where all of the Pixar characters live. Some, Buzz Lightyear for example, has the ability to change from 2-D to 3-D when they cross between the two different animation planes. 

Anyways, let's get back on track, shall we?

Hera set The Ghost to auto-pilot as she made her way down to the "living room" area of the ship. The crew of the Ghost gathered around the two wizards who sat in the booth, Sabine bringing the two something to drink.

"Thank you for rescuing us back there." Ben thanked the crew as he and Sebastian took their drinks. 

"No problem." Ezra replied.

Sebastian gulped down his drink, slamming the cup on the table. "Thanks for the hospitality and all," he spoke up as the British boy stood up from his seat. "But we have to go back and look for Avalyn and Kaitlyn!"

"Hold your horses there cowboy," Zeb stepped up, placing a heavy hand on his shoulder. "You're not going anywhere, and neither is your friend."

Sebastian shot the Lasat a nasty glare, eyes narrowed as he clutched his jaw. "What did you just say?"

"Okay, back it up," Hera stepped in between the two of them, sitting Sebastian back down in his seat. "Both of you."

"What Zeb means is," Kanan quickly stepped in to clarify. "We can't go back because Zurg's base was destroyed."

"Then, are they...?" Ben gulped. 

"Dead? No," The Jedi shook his head, eyes closed. "But by the time we arrived, we saw your friends being taken away by a tracker beam." 

"A tracker beam?" Ben repeated.

"Someone must have sprung them out for us," Sebastian pondered, sounding hopeful. "Maybe it was Star Command?" 

"Actually, it was the opposite." Sabine corrected with grief.

"Say what?" He blinked, straining his voice.

"That was a Imperial ship that took your friends. They were captured by the Empire." Ezra stated. 

"What?!" The two boys shrieked. 

Ben stood up to his feet, waving his hands with disbelief. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone here," He looked over at the blue haired boy, hands on his hips. "What do you mean they were captured by the Empire?!"

"Ezra and I felt a disturbance in the force," Kanan spoke up. "We have reason to believe that the Empire has formed an alliance with the leader of the Dark Anomalies."

"Well that's just dandy..." Sebastian muttered. 

"Is there anything we can do to get them back?" Ben asked.

"That's going to be tough," Sabine stepped forward, powering on a holographic schematic of the Imperial ship. "Sure we've tangoed with the Empire numerous times, but never like this." 

"In exchange for their help, the Dark Anomalies is feeding the Sith Lord and his Inquisitors with their negative energy, making the dark side stronger than ever." Kanan explained.

"If we don't put a stop to them, they could gain enough power to take over the galaxy, and the World of Disney along with it." Ezra added. 

"The Dark Anomalies must have ordered the Empire to capture Ava, with her being the chosen one, to make sure she doesn't get in the way of their plans," Ben pondered as he cupped his chin. "There's that, and her Healing Magic could cause them trouble as well."

"Not to mention they got Kaitlyn too," Sebastian reminded, his voice hanging low. "Without her Illusion Magic, we'll be at a disadvantage." 

"Then we'll just have to give you a new advantage," Zeb grinned, taking out his gun. 

"Where are you going with this?" The British boy asked him. 

"We can help you rescue your friends. But if we are going up against the Empire, we can't do it without them." Hera proclaimed. 

"So, to refresh my memory, who exactly is on that ship? Cause last I heard, that first Inquisitor died in the season 1 finale." Ben raised a brow with confusion. 

"In this world, he's still alive," Kanan clarified with a groan. "Sadly..."

"And that's it?" The blonde asked. 

"Far from it. We've sensed this kind of presence before. That fear, cold, and hatred..." Ezra shuddered. 

Suddenly it clicked as Ben and Sebastian looked over at each other, their mouths gaped open slightly as Sebastian stood up to meet Ben's gaze.

"Are you thinking who I'm thinking?" He asked. 

"I think so, but I don't want to believe it." Ben shook his head. "It's Darth Vader."

The four Macht shared a few laughs as their parents and grandparents followed behind them as the large group left the building of the Muppet 3-D show. 

"The Muppets never gets old." Poppy chuckled. 

"Remember that part with Beeper? That was hilarious," Vince laughed. "Right Ava?"

Vince looked over to his side to get an opinion from the second oldest cousin, only she wasn't there. Seeming puzzled, he looked around the group, and didn't see her anywhere.

"Uh, guys? Where's Ava?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing, taking a look around for themselves. Nobody else saw her either. That was when worry began to spike in Avalyn's parents eyes. 

"I'll try to take a look back inside," Her father spoke up, making his way back through the exit. The family took shelter at a food joint across the plaza, hiding from the harsh sunlight. After a few minutes of waiting, Avalyn's father exited the building, this time accompanied by a Disney Employee, or as they are liked to be called, Cast Members. "She wasn't in there."

"What?!" Avalyn's mother stood up from her seat. 

"Are you sure she was with you during the show?" The Cast Member asked. 

That was when everyone went silent. They glanced around, looking at each other, unknown what exactly to say. 

"She was with us during the pre-show. She was standing right next to me," Vince explained. "I must have gotten so caught up in the show, I didn't notice her at all after that."

"No one is to blame baby," his mother spoke up, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Don't beat yourself up like that." 

"Hmm," the employee cupped her chin, thinking for a brief moment. "If that's the case, there have been situations were kids don't move into the other show and get locked out. After that they go out through the entrance and try to wait for their families at the exit." 

"But she wasn't there! Uncle Jay already checked!" Ty stated. 

"We're aware of that," She assured him in defense. "If she played it smart, then she could be waiting for you over at our Lost & Found Station." 

"Where's that?" The grandmother spoke up. 

"That's near the entrance to the park." The employee nodded. 

"Oh, well she couldn't have made her way all the way over there on her own." The old woman scowled.

"Honey, Ava is 18, not 8." her husband replied. 

"Alright, alright, let's try and calm down." Uncle Stevo spoke up, placing a hand on both their shoulders. 

"Didn't something similar like this happen during our last trip? She got lost in the crowd and a cast member took her to the Lost & Found?" Jam spoke up. "Let's just go and see if she's there."

"Alright then, we'll split up," Ava's father spoke up. "Me, Jeanette, grandpa and grandpa will go to the Lost & Found. The rest of you can looking around the area here just in case Ava stuck around and is having trouble finding us."

Chopper came rolling into the room, beeping and whirling as he spun his head around like mad. 

"What is he saying?" Sebastian spoke, looking at the mechanical being with confusion. "I don't speak robot."

Hera listened to the robot ramble on before she gasped, her eyes narrowing. "What do you mean the Imperial ship is moving?!" She yelled, storming out of the room. 

"What?!" The boys eyes widened with fear as they and the rest of the Ghost Crew made their way to the cockpit of the ship. 

They watched as the giant ship move forward, turning to the left as it faced away from the dead planet. Suddenly the whole room began to glow as a red light flashed on and off, the alarm blaring in everyone's ears. 

"What's happening?" Ben rose his voice. 

"The warship is preparing to jump into hyperspace." She explained, pushing some buttons as she jumped into the drivers seat.

"If we're going to save your friends," Kanan spoke firmly, placing a hand on Ben's shoulder. "Then we need to go right now, or we'll never catch up to them."

The two boys were silent for a brief moment before Ben nodded in reply. "Alright."

Kanan nodded as he looked over at the crew. "Alright, Zeb, Sabine, man the guns, Ezra stay here and help Hera and Copper," He commanded before looking back at the two Wizards. "You two, we'll take the Phantom."

They followed Kanan out of the cockpit, and down the small hallway. Kanan climbed his way up to the top, opening up the hatch as he pulled his way in. But just as Ben was beginning to make his way up, Sebastian reached out, grabbing the blonde's shoulder.

"Ben, wait a second."

"Seb, what's up?" The blonde raised a brow at his friend as he jumped down from the ladder, turning to face him. 

"If, you know, Vader is up there, then we're going to be in some serious trouble," he began. "You know what he's capable of! If he's in cahoots with the Dark Anomalies, he's more powerful than ever!" 

"Where are you going with this?" Ben asked him. "Seriously, you're starting to scare me a little."

"All I'm saying, is that with the Rebels help, we may be able to sink in and free the girls, but that's it. We'd be done." Sebastian stated, waving his hand for effect.

"So? What do you suggest we do next?" Ben questioned his friend, placing his hand on his hips. 

"I suggest," Sebastian reached into his coat, pulling out the mirror and showing it to the blonde. "We finally bring out the big guns."

Ben tried his hardest not to scream. He covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes widening as he glanced around the hallway before taking the mirror and lowering it from his gaze as he looked at Sebastian square in the eyes.

"You still have this?!" He whispered harshly. "I thought you would have returned this to Belle's castle right about now! She's got to notice it's missing!" 

"I was going to, but our missions have been getting tougher lately, so I thought I'd hang on to it, just in case." Sebastian shrugged. 

Ben sighed loudly, rubbing his hand down his face before placing a hand on Sebastian's shoulder. "Bro, I want him back just as much as you do. But I just don't think now might be the time."

"But what if it is?" Sebastian talked back. "Kaitlyn's life is on the line, Avalyn's life is on the line! Now is the perfect time for him to come back, especially if the girl he cares about so much is in trouble!"

Ben pinched his nose as he rubbed his forehead, leaning against the ladder. 

"Ben, come on!" Sebastian pleaded, his eyes filled with sorrow and fear. "We need him. The team needs him."

"Hey! You two coming or what?!" Kanan yelled over head. 

After a few moments of thought, Ben sighed, leaning forward from the ladder as he stepped toward his friend, taking the mirror in his hand and gently placing it back inside Sebastian's jacket pocket. 

"Save it as a last resort," He cautioned. "Only use it unless you believe it to be absolutely necessary." 

"I promise." Sebastian nodded his head swiftly. 

Ben scoffed playfully as he began to climb up the ladder. "Since when do you promise anything?"

"True," Sebastian shrugged with defeat as he watched his friend climb up before he began to make his way up. "Rules were meant to be broken."

"Try telling that to Mickey." Ben replied as he pulled his friend up into the miniature ship, sealing the hatch shut.

"You two ready to roll?" Kanan asked, turning his seat in their direction. 

"We're ready." Ben smiled as the two boys came to the Jedi's side. 

"Hera," Kanan steered his seat back into its original position, taking a grasp on the controls. "We're good to go."

"Rebels, let's go!" She exclaimed.
