Rex's pov

For the past few days, I kept having bad feelings that something is going to happen to Helmet. It's probably just the last time I saw him he was being drowned by skeletons.

When I got back to the headquarters with the clones, I made them scrub the bottom of our ship. It felt like the right thing to do. I told them to never go after him again and they listened, for once.

I still don't know who exactly is after Helmet, but I do know it had something to do with those skeletons. But out of that whole experience, the scariest part was facing Helmet's master.

He could use a haircut with that ponytail. He also called Helmet, Ezra. I guess that must be his real name, duh. Just in case he doesn't want me to call him by his real name, I'll call him Helmet for now.

I would try to contact him and make sure he is alright, but I know his master  wouldn't approve that. He has every right to hate me. My people killed his master and the other Jedi. He probably wants to make sure I don't do the same to Helmet, which I would never do.

While I'm in the meeting room with a few soldiers, they give me coordinates to a place. I look at it in confusion. "Is this for a mission?" I ask them. "No you have been required to go to the Rebellion by Ashoka Tano." The general says.

Ashoka Tano? I haven't seen her since she left the Jedi Order. "She informed us that you should go to this rebel ship." He says showing an image of a ship on the hologram. "They call it the Ghost." He tells me. "The Empire has been after this one for a while and they need more allies."

I look at the ship. "For how long?" I ask. "Until you feel you are ready to move on." He says in a serious tone.
That hardly helps me. I take a moment to think about this, if I had the choice. "Alright I'll do it." I say. How bad could these rebels be anyways?

Ezra's pov

I've been thinking about how I got that phone call awhile ago. I still haven't told anyone, not even Kanan. I have an urge to because it was his master. He would want to know. But what if he gets overly attached to it? I don't want him to have memories of his master being killed. He already saw Rex and that's enough.

There's like a voice telling me to tell Kanan but another voice telling me not to. "Tell him. He has the right to know." "Don't tell him. You don't want him to get upset do you?" "He will get more upset if you keep it a secret." "You won't be able to call his master back anyways so what's the point?" "You could still try to call her with Kanan's help." "Don't do it!!" "Do it!!"

"Kanan........" I say to him while we are in his room meditating. "Yes!!!!" "Yes Ezra?" He says still half meditating. I take a deep breath and before I could say anything, Hera calls all of us to the entrance. "I'll tell you later." I say and we both get up and head to the entrance. "So close!!!!"

When we all arrive, we see Hera and behind her.......Rex? My mouth hangs open in shock. Rex's eyes widen in surprise to see me. Kanan well......let's just say it wasn't a good reaction. "What is he doing here?!?!?!" Kanan shouts in anger.

"Fulcrum assigned Captain Rex to help us with dealing with the Empire." Hera says. "We don't need help." He says in a rude tone. I roll my eyes. "Yes we do Kanan you two just need to get along." She says. "Did we miss anything?" Sabine asks. "It was in the past that we put behind me a long time ago." Rex says.

"Oh really? Then why did your clone troopers take him?" Kanan asks serious. I put my hand over my face knowing he is talking about me. "I had nothing to do with that." Rex says. "Well you are the Captain so anything you says goes right?" Kanan says. 

"Enough!!! For the love of Lothal we are in a war not a day care with two babies!!!!" Hera yells and stomps angrily into the ship. Kanan follows her and Sabine and Zeb just stay silent and walk inside. I take the opportunity to talk to Rex.

"Sorry for my master." I say. He sighs. "Don't worry I expected it." He says. "There's nothing I could really do." "Why don't you talk to him without arguing." I say. "Yeah that's not going to work." He says. We both stay silent for awhile. "My real name is Ezra by the way......." I say. He looks at me like he knew already.

"Guys come inside." Zeb orders us. We both end our talk and walk inside to be welcomed with even more craziness.

"Chopper!!! Get back here!!!" Zeb shouts after Chopper shocks him. While chasing each other, they bump into Sabine and get paint all over themselves. "Hey watch it I'm painting!!!!" Sabine shouts. "Since when are you not painting?!?!" Zeb shouts back at her. That's when she gets her red paint and pours it all over him.

"Karabast!!!! Sabine!!!!" Zeb shouts and chases after Sabine while Chopper chases Zeb shocking him. They all chase each other into the kitchen where Hera and Kanan are arguing. "I'm not going to get along with him!!!" Kanan shouts at Hera. "You have to put the past behind you!!!!" Hera shouts at him.

That's when Zeb, Sabine, and Chopper barge in and create more craziness. Chopper knocks Kanan down while shocking both him and Zeb and Sabine pours the rest of her paint on Hera. That's when the room falls silent. "SABINE WREN!!!!!" Hera screams and starts to chase Sabine.

Kanan chases Chopper with a tool, Chopper chases Zeb still shocking him, Zeb chases Hera chasing Sabine covered in paint. While they are all chasing each other, Rex and I just stand there. We both glance at each other and back at the crazy. Welcome to the rebellion Rex.
