Chapter 65: An Old Friend
Y/N's P.O.V
Sabine, Jacen and I went to Old Jho's bar and it now belongs to the Empire.
Turns out they executed Old Jho for helping the Rebels on Lothal.
The three of us are about to leave when the bartender, Baron Valen Rudor stops us.
Rudor: Troopers, stop them.
Stormtrooper: Hold it right there, citizens.
Y/N: What's the problem?
???: Carter, old buddy.
We look over to see a guy about our age coming over to us.
???: I've been looking all over for you!
He comes over and puts his arm over my shoulder.
???: Did you forget to pay for your drinks?
Y/N: Oh, right. I thought they were on the house.
???: Carter, why not just pay the man?
Y/N: With what? I don't have any credits.
???: You don't?
I look to Sabine.
Y/N: I thought you had credits, babe.
Sabine: I don't have any credits. I thought you did.
???: I got it. It's on me.
He goes over to the bar and pays for the drinks.
After that we quickly leave.
The four of us go outside and join Chopper.
???: Y/N L/N, welcome hone.
Y/N: Who are you?
???: You don't remember me?
I look at him closely and recognise him.
My eyes widen.
Y/N: Jai Kell. Yeah, it's been awhile since our Academy days, huh?
Jai Kell was at the Imperial Academy here on Lothal when I was there undercover as a cadet.
We became good friends and bonded over being from Lothal.
Jai: Yeah. You got me out of there. Saved my life. This was my chance to return the favor.
He pulls out a device.
Jai: Your old man kept sending me here in hopes you'd show up. I'll try and contact someone for a pick-up.
Jacen: Don't worry about that. We've got it covered.
Just then we hear an explosion.
A second later Kanan and the other's show up in a speeder.
Hera: Get in, now!
Before we can and Imperial tank shows up.
Sabine: We've been cut off!
It fires at the speeder, but we all manage to get away from it before it explodes.
Y/N: We gotta move!
Jai: This way!
We follow Jai back into the bar.
(Five minutes later)
All of us are now down in the sewer system below the city.
Sabine, Zeb, BD and I spilt off from the other's so we can find the way out.
I ingite my lightsaber and cut down an Imperial probe droid.
Zeb: Please tell me you know how to get out of here. Didn't you grow running around sewers like this?
Y/N: I was raised in the city before I left here with Aalya. I've never been down here.
Zeb: What's the difference?
Y/N: Everything is different, Zeb! It's all changed, and this? This is my fault! I'm the one who pushed for us to come back here.
I sigh.
Y/N: I never thought it'd be this bad. It's all gone to shit.
Sabine: Y/N...
Y/N: Saw said it himself. I didn't wanna believe him. Lothal's gone. We've already lost.
Sabine puts her hand on my shoulder.
Sabine: Hey, we haven't lost. Forget Saw. You said as long as we're together, we've got a chance. So, don't give up. That's not like you.
Zeb: And at least we'll go down fighting.
BD-2: (Beeps!)
I nod.
Y/N: You're right, guys. Thanks for the pep talk.
Sabine: Hey, wait.
She shines the flashlight at the wall.
Sabine: That's my symbol.
Y/N: My dad, Serena and Finn know that. One of them must've left a trail for us to follow.
Zeb: Let's hope you're right.
We start following the symbols and end up in a junction.
Just then Stormtroopers show up.
I ingite my lightsaber and block their shots.
Y/N: Not that way! Not that way! Alright, we need another way out.
After that the other's show up.
Hera: We gotta turn around. They're right behind us!
Y/N: They're already here!
We gather together.
Y/N: We need a new way out and I'm open to suggestions.
Chopper: (Grunts.)
Sabine: Chopper found the way out.
I look up and see a ladder.
Y/N: I'm on it.
I jump up onto the ladder and jump up it.
I then slash the panel with my saber to bring the ladder all the way down.
Y/N: Everyone get up there!
We all climb the ladder and as we get to the top thr hatch opens.
I look up to see dad and Serena.
Rip: Welcome home. Now get moving.
Y/N: Dad!
He helps Sabine out first and the rest of us get out as well.
After that we all get into dad's speeder and take off.
I look to dad and Serena.
Y/N: Thanks for coming, guys.
Serena: You're welcome.
Rip: It was the least we could do. You came back for us.
Y/N: I promised I would.
Rip: You did. I wasn't sure if my message to the Rebellion even got through.
Y/N: It did. Mon Mothma sent us to help and get intel oncthe T.I.E Defender.
Rip: I'll brief you back at the base. We need to plan an attack on the T.I.E Defender factory as soon as the rest of your forces arrive.
Y/N: Uh, dad... it's just us.
Serena: Seriously? Just you?
Zeb: The Empire has Lothal locked down tight. How are we gonna do this?
Y/N: This is how a rebellion starts. Small. With a few people standing together. We've done it before. We can do it again.
Dad smirks.
Rip: You sound like your mother, son. And for what it's worth, I hope you're right.
I nod.
Y/N: So do I.
If we can take out the T.I.E Defender factory, that'll deal a blow to the Empire.
