15 minutes later

Ezra swore he heard yelling from his girlfriend and Padme and was right as he walked in to see A scared Commander Sato and Kanan with sabine Zeb was knocked out by Luke when Zeb something he was a kid and we didn't know

" YOU HAD NO FREACKING RIGHTS TO DO THAT JEDI I THOUGHT MASTER AND PADAWANS BONDS ALWAYS WORK UNTIL ONE EITHER DIES OR JOIN THE DARKSIDE AND DID YOU SEE HIS INJURIES IT WAS REALLY BAD" Padme screamed as she was in motherhood for Ezra and
" He's injured? Kid, why didn't you tell me? I would have.."

" Yeah." Leia screamed as Ashoka was ready to kill Kanan with Anakin

" What going on here." Ezra said as Leia ran to him and kissed him and Padme hugs him

" Be careful Next time." Both Padme Ashoka and Leia said

Kanan was shocked how does Ezra manage to come here and just make them calm the woman down

Later after explaining everything from Anakin metting Ezra.

" Wait so Ezra is A shan and a prophecy with the chosen one involves him taking down the Sith with The chosen One." Zeb asked

" Yeah I did and he is special he did the last trail of Spirit he told me he went through his greatest Fear which I know little about cause he doesn't wanna talk about it." Anakin said

"That Impossible if it true show us." Kanan said

" Ezra show us." Padme said courage and send a glare to Kanan

Ezra did what he is told

Dark walls surrounded Ezra, but then were lit by a bright red glow. A Pau'an with blazing eyes approached, and fear clutched at Ezra's chest. Beside the Pau'an was Kanan, on the ground and clutching at his middle. The Pau'an turned to Ezra with a dark smirk.

And then suddenly Ezra's throat closed up and he was lifted into the air. The teen grabbed at his throat desperately, trying to breathe.

Hera gripped Kanan's hand tightly, jaw locked, a frown on her face. Kanan squeezed her hand in return in hopes of soothing the Twi'lek.

The Pau'an grinned darkly, and behind him, Kanan stood, igniting his saber and attacking.

The Pau'an turned to Kanan, dropping Ezra to the ground and instead attacking Kanan. Ezra hurried out of the way to avoid being caught in between. Within moments, Kanan was shoved away with a Force push...Then stabbed.

"Kanan! No!"

Kanan Jumped slightly when Hera turned her head away, hiding her face in his shoulder momentarily. He rubbed her back soothingly.

Suddenly the scenery changed. He was on a ship, likely the one he and his crew lived on. He could hear voices, and approached the ladder that led to the upper turret and bridge.

"I didn't think the' kid would do it."

That was Zeb's voice, and Ezra heard low warbling from Chopper. Then Hera's voice came,

"I gotta agree with Chop', I don't think Ezra was ready." Ezra hit the door control panel, and the doors before him opened. "I don't think we'll see him again, which...Is too bad."

Zeb snorted, looking over from where he was reclined.

"Really? 'Cause I'll be happy to have my cabin back to myself."

From where he was leaning against a wall, Zeb's face fell, ears flattening. this thing happened technically was real? No wonder Ezra didn't trust him again!

Hera leaned forward.

"It's too bad because he had skills that were useful to our cause."

Pain squeezed at Ezra, making it hard to breathe as he watched with saddened eyes while Zeb laughed.

"I knew there was a reason you were being so nice t' him."

A choked sound left Hera, and she quickly pursed her lips. Oh how she wanted to hold Ezra, tell him it wasn't true cause she cares for him

Ezra began to back away even as Sabine spoke.

"That's pretty cold guy's. After all, he's just a little kid." Ezra looked away. He felt so hopeless and lost... "Scared, Alone? Me? I pity him."

Pity? No! That wasn't what Ezra wanted! He didn't want pity, didn't need it! He wasn't scared any more, he wasn't!

Sabine shook her head slowly. No, that wasn't right! She didn't pity Ezra! She admired him for all he'd survived even after the incident!

"Well, look who's here!"

Ezra flinched when a strong hand grabbed his shoulder, pulling him into the room. Zeb was scowling at the boy while Sabine stood.

"How long do you think he was listening?"

Ezra frowned, turning away and crossing his arms.

"Long enough." He retorted, refusing to look at Sabine.

Zeb wilted slightly while Sabine crossed her arms.

"Eh, nothin' personal, kid."

And then...Determination came to Ezra's face, the teen suddenly steeling his resolve.

"No! This isn't you talking. I'm not back on the Ghost, I couldn't be!"

Zeb frowned.

"Well tha's jus' crazy talk, you're standin' here, aren't you?"

Ezra looked away, because blast, it hurt to look at his friends.

"No, I'm back in the temple-!"

The snap hiss of a saber cut him off, and Ezra looked up, surprised when he heart a sound of pain from Zeb. He rubbed at his eyes disbelievingly.

"No..." He backed away towards the door. "No, this isn't real..!"

He watched in horror, quickly stumbling out of the room even as he heard the horrible sounds of agony from his companions. The door shut, but the teen could hear Sabine.

"Ezra, wait! Help us-!" Then there was a shriek, making Ezra flinch violently. Tears stung at his bright blue eyes. His friends! His family!

Then the door opened, and there again was the Pau'an. He approached Ezra, who ran. Soon, the boy was cornered, and he stared up, terrified at the Sith. The Pau'an went to strike-

The doors behind Ezra opened, and he fell into darkness.

The ship was now gone, replaced by the plain walls and dust covered floor of the temple. Ezra sat up, and his spirits lifted.

"That's right! I'm in the temple, I knew it!" He exclaimed, looking around as he stood. "Kanan? Kanan, where are you?"

No answer to his call, nothing but his echo. Ezra grabbed his head, eyes squeezing shut.

"No, he died! The Inquisitor killed him, I-..!" His eyes snapped open confused and scared as he looked at the sealed pathway ahead. "O-or was that an illusion too? Either way, I'm trapped! No way I'll get this open on my own!"

Ezra sank to his knees, a feeling of total loss and hopelessness leaving him feeling empty.

"I'm alone..." He fell forward, sitting upon all fours as he stared at the floor. "Abandoned!...Again..."

Anakin looked down, eyes saddened. No, this...Why did Ezra have to go through this early? He'd told Ezra if he would have know that he wouldn't be alone...

Then...The blue orbs, so full of despair, lit with realization.

"Again...Yeah! I've been alone before! Survived! I can survive this!" He stated, now feeling more confident. He stood, forcing himself to continue pressing on despite how his legs trembled with weariness. "Maybe Kanan's not dead! Maybe he's just injured, He might need my help in there!"

He stopped before the closed, heavy door...And it opened.

The Inquisitor strode out.

"How perceptive."

The Pau'an's voice was smooth but sharp, like acid. It made fear settle once more inside Ezra as the teen backed away.

"No, nononono!" Ezra pointed at the Sith before grabbing his head and looking away, eyes closing. "You were on the Ghost! And that- All that, was definitely an illusion!"

"It may have been. But I assure you," A cold hand grabbed Ezra's chin, forcing the teen to look into cold, amber eyes. "I am not."

He then shoved Ezra away, smirking darkly.

"No way out, Padawan."

Ezra backed away until he ran into a podium made of hard stone.

"Th-There's always a way out. If I follow my training." The teen said defiantly, though his voice was weak and he again turned away. The Inquisitor stopped before him.

"Ready to die, boy? Or are you afraid to face your demise?"

Bright blue eyes suddenly opened, shining even in the dark room.

"..No..! Afraid of being alone again? Sure. Afraid of letting down my master- Absolutely!"

"Your master lies dead, rotting in a forgotten tunnel." The Sith before him reminded, watching as Ezra leaned against the stone beam behind him for support. "You could hardly have let him down more!"

But then...Bright, electric blue eyes met the Inquisitor's.

"I'm not afraid."

The Inquisitor paused, taking a half-step back.

Ezra closed his eyes, then stood straight and tall, no longer leaning against the cold stone for support as he turned his face up towards the Sith, arms at his sides. Even as the sound of the Sith's saber igniting echoed in the room, Ezra didn't flinch, only forcing himself to breathe, to relax, to trust in himself. To face his fears like Kanan always told him to.

Anakin felt pride swell in his chest. His Former Padawan was being so brave, facing his fears head on.

The Inquisitor let out a sound of rage, slashing at the Padawan...But the glowing red blade did nothing, only passing through the boy. Without harm.

And the red glow of the lightsaber vanished.

Ezra let out the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, and he slumped back before sitting, resting as harsh breath's left him.

But he was suddenly not alone.

"Big fears, have you faced, young one."

Ezra, oddly, couldn't manage to feel surprised that he wasn't alone.

"Yes." He answered simply.

"Hm! For what lies ahead, ready are you?"

A pause, then,

"I am."

"Come! See more clearly, what you could not see before."

Ezra looked confused.

"Who are you?"

"A guide." Was the simple reply. Ezra lifted his head to tell the voice that he didn't understand-

There before him were dozens of small lights, drifting and floating, defying the planet's gravity with ease. Slowly, Ezra stood on shaky legs, following the lights. He could hear whispers, unintelligible voices.

"Which way is the right way?" He asked as they came to a place that forked in three directions.

"The wrong question, that is."

Ezra frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry," He said truthfully. "I don't understand. To be honest, I don't even know what I'm doing here."

A chuckle.

"A better question, that is."

Ezra moved forward.

"Kanan said I would be tested, but he never said what for, or why."

The lights followed the teen.

"And your Master, tell you everything, must he?"

The teen looked sheepish.

"Well...No."

"Your path, you must decide."

Ezra hesitated, then looked over each tunnel before him. Which one was the right path? Well, his instincts were almost never wrong...He finally chose the center path. The lights passed through the wall, meeting him when he reached the final destination of the tunnel.

"Woah..."

Ezra looked around in awe as he moved to the middle of the large room. All around, defined sharply against the darkness were patterns of glowing blue threads. Like the ones Ezra saw when he meditated...

"Tell me!" Ezra jumped when the odd voice returned. "Why must you become Jedi?"

Ezra glanced away. Why? No one had ever asked.

"I dunno, I guess because Kanan believes I can?"

"Ah, Kanan thinks you can. Hm. And you?"

Ezra looked uncomfortable. Why did he need to be a Jedi? He kept racking his brain for the answer.

"Well, because I can become strong. Powerful."

"Ah. Power you seek."

Ezra frowned. No, that wasn't right either. But he could feel anger surging in his bones.

"I'll make the Empire suffer for everything it did! Everything it took- From my parents! I-I wouldn't be helpless anymore!"

No! That wasn't it! Why? WHY?! He had the answer inside him somewhere, but what was it?! What was the reason?!

"Ah, Jedi way is revenge! Teach you this your Master did?"

"No! Kanan would never! He's a good Master- A great Master!"

"Then why seek you revenge?"

Ezra shook his head frustratedly.

"I don't!"

What was the answer?! He could feel it, just without his reach, on the tip of his tongue...

How could Ezra not know the answer? This was uncommon, one having to dig deep inside themselves to seek out the true reason of their actions.

"Hm. Inside you, much anger. Much fear."

"I just want to protect myself and my friends!"

"And this is why you must become Jedi."

"Yes..." His fear was now replaced with determination. "And not just them! Everyone! I'll protect everyone! Before I met Kanan, I only ever thought of myself, but Kanan and the rest, they don't think like that. They-They help people, they give everything away! And I see it! I see how it makes people feel!"

"Feel, yes! How?"

Ezra looked down, realization settling in and making him feel so very, very numb. And the words slipped out without him knowing.

"...Alive...They feel alive..." His eyes slowly raised for a moment before he looked back down. "Like I do now."

Anakin Padme Leia and Luke now realize The pain and loneliness That Ezra felt and were sad

The numbness faded, leaving Ezra feeling so tired and weary but...Also with a strange joy in his heart.

"Good, good." The strange voice said, tone almost soothing. Around Ezra, everything faded to black as the voice continued. "Ahead of you, a difficult path there is, Padawan. A Jedi...You may yet be."

And in the darkness, a bright glow appeared. Ezra watched in awe as it descended, wrapping his hands around it once it was close. And there in his palm...Was a crystal.

" That it." Ezra said but kissed by Leia and was hugged by Padme Anakin Ashoka and Hera

" whoa what wrong." Ezra said confused

" We understand your past now Ezra." Leia said

" It a past I moved on Don't worry." Ezra said smiling
