Stahl's room

Stahl sat on his bed twitling his tumbs. He was waiting for everyone to go to sleep so he could practice on using the force. He owed that to Kanan for the way he acted earlier.

Stahl waited for a little bit longer before he decided to see if anyone was awake. Stahl stood up from his bed and walked over to his door.

When Stahl was standing at the door he placed his ear over it and closed his eyes. Stahl let all the sound ring into his ear as he waited to see if anyone was awake. Stahl couldn't hear anything, which meant everyone was asleep....hopefully.

Stahl then turned around and walked over to his desk where his twin lightsabers were lying. Stahl picked them both up feeling the cold metal touch his hands. He brought the sabers close to his head trying to feel some kind of connection between them. Nothing could be felt but darkness. Stahl never could connect well to others, especially his blades.

However this was merely a peble to Stahl since he needed to focus on bigger prioritizes. Stahl placed the twin blades on his back hearing the magnetic connect between them and the holster. Then he grabbed his Westar-35's, tightened his hidden blade handles around his wrists, and walked out of his room.

As Stahl walked through the Ghost he began having this feeling. It wasn't his usual something life threatening was gonna happen feeling. More of 'your now gonna be in serious trouble feeling'. Nonetheless Stahl just kept softly walking toward the the latter to the head cannon. Little did Stahl know that a green Twi'lek and her Jedi were plotting their revenge.

Hera's and Kanan's room

"Are you serious Hera" Kanan asked his wife still walking back and forth smiling from the news he just heard.

"Yes love, he is terrible ticklish, that's how we're gonna punish him" Hera said internally laughing. She had told Kanan about Stahl's unfortunate weakness. It was the only way that Stahl was going to learn his lesson about behaving in her ship.

Kanan kept walking a bit more thinking about how they were gonna sneak up on Stahl since he was force sensitive. Also, Kanan was mentally laughing about Stahl's secret. Depa had always punished Kanan for when he acted up towards her or any Jedi with using the force to tickle the lufe out of Kanan. Now Kanan was going to do the same thing and finally feel how it is to be on the torture's side. Admittedly Kanan always thought he would have to do it on Hera or Ezra, but hey, you get what you get.

Suddenly both of them began hearing footsteps. They were soft so they couldn't be Zebs, and they were well restrained so Ezra couldn't be up. Besides Sabine would have been with him if he was trying to do anything teenish. That meant one thing.

Kanan looked over to a smiling Hera who lightly ran over to the door. The door soon opened with Hera peaking her head out of the door to see Stahl climbing up the ladder to the roof of the Ghost.

Hera heard Kanan ask "who was it" making her smile. She turned to Kanan saying "our target has just gone to the roof".

Kanans curiosity sparked, why would Stahl be going to the roof of the Ghost at this time. Since Kanan didn't know much else he asked Hera "what else did you see" making the Twi'lek ponder this question for a bit.

"Well he was carrying all of his weapons with him" Hera remembered seeing trying to make out something. However she didn't need to when she heard Kanan say "he's training" confusing her.

It made no sense to Hera why Stahl would go up to the Ghost to train since he had his wooden dummy in his room. However it made perfect sense to Kanan, he figured and sensed that Stahl was trying to meditate to connect with the force. Of course the light thuds on the ship also helped with that conclusion.

Kanan, underatanding what his 2nd student was trying to do looked at Hera saying "He's trying to connect with the force. That's why he's up on the Ghosts roof". Everything then clicked for Hera, but it also presented a problem because Kanan is really serious when it comes to practicing with the force. So how exactly would they be able to punish Stahl when he is doing something that Kanan knows better than to interrupt.

"We'll wait" Kanan just suddenly said taking Hera out of her thoughts. "What" Hera asked not certain about what she just heard. "We'll wait" Kanan simply replied again walking over to his bed and laying down on the matris.

It didn't take much time for Hera to realise that Kanan meant they would wait until Stahl was done meditating. They both figured Stahl wouldn't take too long with training since he is hot headed. So all they had to do was wait for him to finish his training.

They both then heard another thump on the Ghosts roof and figured that it wasn't going to be long.

Hera walked over to Kanan and lied on top of his lap feeling his arms wrap around her. She soon felt the warmth that was radiating from then and enjoyed it very much. Hera always felt safe in Kanan's arms, like nothing in the entire universe could harm her.

Hera lied her head on his chest feeling his heart beat in her ear as she closed her eyes and let the world fade to black.

Roof of the Ghost

Stahl climbed out of the head cannon ready to start his training. Well at minimum 50 percent of him was willing to do it.

Stahl put down his weapons and stretched his body to wake it up. As he did his stretches he looked out to see the moon casting its glow over the the field. Stahl was encased in its glow like he was when he was flying the Ghost earlier.

Even though Stahl loved the view of the moon, its was just a moon. There were thousands of them and this one was no different. Stahl turned around to avoid getting caught off guard again and did the hand stand he did when Kanan had first started teaching him. Stahl let his vision turn black as he began hearing Kanan's words say "clear your mind of any distractions Open youraelf to the force. Focus on letting go".

Deja vue happened again, not 5 minutes passed before Stahl's fears and memories struck him causing him to lose focus. Stahl soon lost his grip and fell on the glass of the cannon followed by hitting his back on the roof. Stahl rubbed the back of his head relieving the pain on his neck.

When Stahl finished he stood back up and got back on the turret. Stahl took a deep breath letting his vision go to black again as he loosened his grip. Stahl soon began to feel something. Some kind of feeling that swayed his emotions, he began to feel his enviroment around him. The Ghosts entire ship, the wind around him, the flow of the grass in the feel.

The sensation was piercing his body as he began to feel presences. Stahl began to lighten his grip trying to reach out to it, but his vision was cut to black in a sharp instant that followed with his nightmares.

Letting out a quick scream Stahl's eyes burst open causing him to lose hus grip again. Stahl fell on the turret and the roof of the Ghost again making the hot head begin to get annoyed.

Constantly being haunted by his nightmare's and fear's were beginning to make Stahl question weather he was meant for all of this. Kanan had told Ezra and him that Jedi don't let their fear define who they are. Jedi don't let their fear control who they are. Well that wasn't too good for Stahl. Living a life completely by fear isn't something you can simply just escape from.

Then suddenly Stahl remembered an old saying that he was told as a little kid. "Fear is like an Emperor, if you have fear inside you young one you will be controlled by it. You must face the fear that haunts you and destroy it. Only then will you be free from.control".

Thinking about this for a bit made him begin to chuckle, never did Stahl think that he would be using the words from the people he hated so much. With that Stahl stood back up and walked over to the turret again.

This time as he placed his hand on the glass he looked at his reflection from the glass. What Stahl saw was everything he was becoming. To him he was becoming this soft person who was beginning to go against his code of despising the people that harmed him. Yet he already began working with and respecting a Mando. Could Stahl be breaking, has the crew found some sort of soft personal inside of him that has made him this way? Was this for the better or for the worse?

All of these questions left Stahl in his first self argument about what he was...and what he was becoming. However these were questions for another time.

Stahl proceeded to take the hand stand for a 3rd time. Closing his eyes he let the feeling he felt before enter his body. Not too long after he began feeling that similar feeling, of everyone's presence. Stahl attempted to reach out towards that feeling before his vision changed. The memories and nightmare's began clouding his vision.

This time however Stahl kept his eyes closed, but his body began shacking in fear. If Stahl didn't do something fast he would lose his grip and never learn to open to the force. His breath began to increase as his body continued to shake.

Stahl was on the verge of collapsing when suddenly his visions changed. Instead of the nightmares and memories; Stahl began seeing the moon shining its rays over the field. The feeling that Stahl had when his eyes layed upon that sight returned to his body making every part of him calm down.

What came next was absolutely amazing. He could feel the force and everything around him, the crew in their cabins, the grass that surrounded him, and the core of himself; the lightness inside of him began to consume his body.

With this feeling Stahl opened his eyes still in his handstand and smiled to himself that he had passed his first lesson to becoming a Jedi.

However he wasn't through training yet, Stahl still had to practice picking up things with his mind, run some distance to work on his cardio, and also practice with his lightsabers. Remembering this Stahl pushed himself up off the turret and landed on his feet ready to work on his next lesson.

Stahl grabbed his twin Sabers and climbed down from the roof of the ship. Making sure to not wake anyone up Stahl headed outside of the Ghost so he would have more space to concentrate. Also so he wouldn't risk waking up anyone with running and lifting objects with his mind.

Stahl sat on the dirt in a meditation position and placed his twin Sabers in front of him. Remembering what Kanan had taught him Stahl extended his hand to the blades and began concentrating on lifting them.

As Stahl focused on lifting the Sabers he didn't notice that there were some eyes in the distance watching him train. Stahl paid little attention to the person because it wasn't the Empire so they possed little threat to him.

After a few minutes of concentrating Stahl began to feel the Sabers move, he also began to hear singing. It wasn't like normal singing coming from a person it was just a sound he began hearing. The strangest thing was that it was coming from his lightsabers. He began feeling the entire blade, the could metal that surrounded the crystal that has inside of it. He could even feel the crystal call him, it was like the crystal and Stahl were becoming one person.

With the connection becoming stronger the blade's lifted up into the air. Stahl felt all of this and brought his blades to him. The closer they got the more singing Stahl heard until his skin felt the cold metal of the blade.

With that Stahl opened his eyes seeing his blade drop towards the ground. Stahl caught the sabers as the were just about to hit the dirt. The singing had stopped too, but Stahl could still feel the connection between him and the blades.

Smiling at the sensation Stahl stood from his position and readied himself for saber training. Now having a much better connection to his weapons, when he activated them the blades became lighter than what he was used to. This provided Stahl much momentum for when he would train in the future or get into battles.

Stahl took his basic stance he learned a long time ago and began training with the Sabers. Stahl went through the basics of saber training moving his saber down right, up left, middle right, middle left. Stahl's body moved in all sorts of directions as his blades went to their location. Moving backward, forward, right, left, sometimes in a full 180 or 360 turn.

Halfway through Stahl decided to take things a step further. He deactivated one of his lightsabers and connected them together so he would have a better and longer grip. The one side that was activated was facing ahead of him like how Wing Chun artists use bamboo poles for combat.

Stahl placed his feet into a balanced position as he had read in his instructions taking a deep breath so his body would be relaxed. Stahl then leaned forward and thrusted his blade out with all his might. It was then followed up by Stahl bringing his saber back and swinging left and right hoe a real fight would go. Left, right, down right to up left, circle, over head. These movements were constantly being done with each swing bringing more and more power into them.

However Stahl still used his self restraint not letting his blade cause him to lose his balance. During the training Stahl decided to be clever with his saber. Giving out one last thrust forward Stahl pulled back his saber deactivating the front end. As the front disapeared into the handle the back saber began to activate with Stahl changing his position.

Stahl soon found himself facing the opposite end he was before with the other saber pointing out into the fields.

Satisfied with what he had just accomplished Stahl deactivated his lightsaber completely holding it to where it faced the sky. Stahl breathed heavily getting ready for his final part of his training.

As Stahl placed his items on the ground he began to hear clapping. It waa coming from behind him which meant that it was someone from the Ghost.

The person then proceeded to say "not bad Stahl, you are improving" with Stahl instantly knowing the voice to belong to Kanan. He turned towards the Ghost seeing the Jedi leaning against the wall smiling.

Kanan then walked over to Stahl placing his hand on his shoulder saying "you improving, but you and Ezra still have a long way to go".

Appreciation engulfed Stahl from Kanan's compliment, but at the same time grief consumed him too. Stahl's head lowered in sadness as he began saying "Kanan, about earlier...I'm" not being able to finish his sentence.

Instead Kanan finished Stahl's sentence for him "Its ok Stahl, we both acted a bit rash earlier". The boy looked up at the man who just kept smiling down at him. A little bit of the grief had left Stahl since he contained the knowledge that Kanan forgives him.

However Stahl wasn't out of the woods just yet. Kanan quickly replied "but your still in trouble" pushing Stahl back while grabbing his lightsaber. As the blue blade from Kanan's saber hummed Kanan reached out his right hand bringing both Stahl's sabers past him and into Kanans hand.

Kanan looked down at the blades in a sort of inspectious way before he threw one to Stahl and the other to the Ghost. Now that Stahl had one of his lightsabers Kanan began approaching him with his saber up in guard position.

Stahl began backing away from Kanan seeing that he had his lightsaber activated and not knowing what Kanan was planning to do. Even thought Stahl had one of his sabers in his hand he knew that he wouldn't be able to stand against Kanan. It didn't matter however because the next second that Stahl knew Kanan lunged at him swinging his blade right at Stahl's head. Stahl was quick enough to roll right under Kanan's attack as he took a crouching position finally activating his lightsaber.

Kanan swiftly turned around swinging his blade at Stahl who blocked it. Now that Kanan knew Stahl had his saber active and was focused on him it was time for the plan to finally unfold. Kanan swung his saber down at Stahl's head making the boy block high. It was followed by a swing at his rib cage which nearly hit Stahl. Stahl however was able to jump back before the blade could reach its target. It did cut a bit of cloths off, but no real damamge was done.

Stahl then decided to take on the offensive attempting to stab Kanan. Kanan just swung his saber to his right moving Stahl's out of harms way. Stahl followed it up by spinning around bringing his blade toward Kanan's neck which was again blocked.

However this time Kanan moved closer to Stahl grabbing his lightsaber handle and kicking him backwards. The force from the kick caused Stahl to lose his grip on the saber renduring him mostly defenseless. The reason for that was because Stahl's blasters were on the ground and his hidden blades would be pretty useless against a lightsaber.

Stahl began thinking of a plan on how to get his saber back, but he was interrupted by him suddenly being lifted off the ground. Stahl saw that Kanan was holding out his hand which could only mean that Kanan was using the force to lift him up. This had just made things completely hopeless, there was nothing Stahl could do to get out of this.

As Kanan held Stahl in the air he could see in the boys face that he knew that he was defeated. This made Kanan smile that he had won, well it wasn't something too big to be proud about, but now that Stahl was helpless all that was left was for Hera to stun him. Kanan could see Hera exiting the Ghost reading her blaster so Kanan decided to say some final words to Stahl before he had to deal with Hera. "You did well Stahl, but you lack the ability to see further in a fight. That is why you failed, but you still have a chance. Only you won't have it soon" Kanan told Stahl who was sooner stunned by Hera.

When Kanan was certain that Stahl was unconscious he let him down as Hera walked over to him saying "that took you longer than necessary love". Kanan chuckled at her rubbing the back of his neck embarrassed as he tried to say "I just wanted to test him" not convincing the Twi'lek one bit. She then kissed Kanan on the cheek as she walked over to the unconscious boy, grabbing him by the waist, and carring him to his room where his torturement would unfold.

Time skip
Stahl's room

Hera had been sitting on her chair for a couple of hours since she turned Stahl into a burrito. Hera had been waiting for Stahl to wake up in that time, but apparently she stunned the kid a bit more than she had originally attended.

She looked over at the boy who was still sleeping soundly before she looked back at her data pad playing her game. Not too long she began hearing some groaning from the boy as he began waking up. *Now his time is up* Hera thought it herself putting down he pad getting ready for torturement.

Stahl's vision slowly came back to him as he saw that he was in his room. Stahl was a bit confused as to how he got in there, the last thing he remembered was floating up in the air and then. Stahl pieced it together, Hera was the one who stunned him and brought him to his room. There was another strange thing though. Why was Stahl wrapped in his blanket like a burrito.

Stahl began moving and twisting to try and get out of the blanket, but Hera must have spun it around him tight since he couldn't move his arms or legs at all. Suddenly Stahl heard a voice say "Glad to see you awake specter 7" making his heart stop.

The person began walking over to Stahl making him get nervous even more that she was here at his most vulnerable moment. Hera soon stood over Stahl looking down at him with her evil smile.

"H-hey Hera" was all Stahl could manage out being terrified as he looked at her. "Hello Stahl" Hera said walking over to Stahl's feet making Stahl worry about what she was going to do.

His answer soon came with Hera saying "Your probably wondering what is going to happen. Well here on my ship I don't take anyone mistreating or insulting my crews past. You did that and I can't let that go unpunished like last time. So I'm going to experiment with a different part of your body to see if your ticklish". Forget being scared Stahl was pale from what he had just heard. Last time Hera tickled him it was a ticklish spot but Stahl found how to defend against that. His feet however were his weak spot.

As Hera began taking off Stahl's shoes Stahl pleaded with everything he had "Please Hera I'm begging you, punish me some other way not this please". His pleas did nothing to change Hera's mind, she just simply took off his socks exposing his skin to her will. Hera looked over at Stahl giving him that same evil smile saying "Begging doesn't save you from the Imperials interrogation and it won't save you from mine" lightly rubbing his sole.

Right on contact Stahl yelped already breaking down into giggles. This caught Hera off guard pulling her fingers back seeing the kid giggle like a toddler. *Interesting, maybe I should do other experiments on the kids* Hera thought to herself as Stahls giggling stopped turning into breathing.

However his torment was far from over. Hera then said "don't worry Stahl, we have all night to experiment" seeing the fear she wanted in Stahls eyes as she went full on attack on his feet.

Through the entire night the Ghost filled with laughter making everyone elses night a long one.

Hope you all like it. Sorry for the late update and lousy ending. Until I update again.
