Jakku

It had been 3 weeks since Stahls captured. Stahl was transported to Jakku where he was interrorgated every day, each day being worse than the last. Stahl had been electrocuted, cut, whipped with a regular and electric whip, old scars had become wounds again. Stahl was given no food or water, instead every day nutrients and water would be injected into him making his body get what it needed, but his stomach felt like it was tied in a nott and his throat became almost too dry to scream or talk. Eventually Stahl became so weak that he couldn't resist what the Imperials would do to him, everyday they would throw him back in his sandy cell with Stahl not moving an inch from where he lied. Pryce wasn't doing any better, she had become so obsessed with breaking Stahl she would let her hair grow out all messy and only have 3 hours of sleep per night trying to figure out how to break the boy.

Pryce was walking down the hallway towards Stahls cell with every trooper just looking at her with fear in their eyes. They all knew what she had been doing to Stahl and was scared to be involved in her wrath. Pryce walked a little more holding Stahl's lightsaber in her hand and a space pen when she finally reached his cell. Pryce put in her code raising the door to find Stahl lying on his left side facing the wall. As the door closed Pryce walked over to Stahl making sure that she was in his line of sight. When she was in his sights Pryce said "3 weeks, 3 long weeks, that's how long you have been here Stahl. And yet you still won't tell me where your rebel base is". Stahl was hardly able to say anything, but he managed to put out "I told you.....I will never....betray my family" making Pryce already angry. However she restrained herself from burning the boy, she sat down saying "I respect you Stahl, even though your an insurgent I respect someone who is loyal. That's why I'm proposing a deal, you tell me where the rebel base is and your family and friends won't be imprisoned. Along with charges against the Empire being dropped. By order of Admiral Thrawn". Stahl only payed attention half way because he was more focused on the pain he was feeling and the blood that was flowing out of his body. Stahl did consider the offer, but he knew Pryce wouldn't keep her word so Stahl said "Never". Pryce smiled at Stahl saying "Foolish, you should have taken the offer. Now I'm going to continue breaking you and when I'm done, you will be my slave and as for your family. They are going to suffer" while getting up. After Stahl heard this he got angry, but that anger only gave him strength to partially get up. Pryce knew what Stahl was trying to do and kicked him on the ground making the boy groan in pain still having some blood fall out of his body. Pryce enjoyed the sight of Stahl in pain, but she wasn't done yet with him. "Troopers..." Pryce called with 2 death troopers came in saying "yes ma'am" getting "...cuff that boy to the ground in a x formation. Then I want you to sound proof this room" from Pryce. The troopers did as they were told and once the sound proof had been established the death troopers left the room leaving Pryce and Stahl alone. Pryce looked at the helpless boy smiling while activating his blue lightsaber. Pryce walked over to the boy still smiling evily earning her a "I won't talk" from Stahl. "Oh I'm past you talking boy, I want to hear you scream more, and when it's over I'm going to mark you so people know that your mine" Pryce said getting no fear from Stahl. The only thing she got was a "do your worst" from Stahl letting Pryce know she was going to have fun. Pryce crouched over next to Stahls legs putting the blade part of the lightsaber just enough to where it was burning him. The second the blade touched Stahls skin he screamed in pain, the heat hurt extremely bad like touching a heated piece of metal. Pryce turned the blade earning her more screams as she kept her torture on. It lasted for what felt like forever until Pryce pulled the saber off his leg. Stahl breath a little easier now that the heat was off his leg, he didn't care if it was another scar as long as it was off. Stahl soon found himself screaming in pain again because Pryce went to the other leg and placed the saber on it burning deep into his skin. As Pryce watched the boy suffer she chuckled saying "this is what you signed up for when you resisted boy and the fun is only beginning" while twisting the blade making Stahl let a few tears out. Pryce then pulled the blade off getting heavy breathing from Stahl. Pryce then decided that Stahl had had enough of the little fun, it was time for the big event. Pryce walked over to Stahls face saying "I'm really surprised that no one has harmed that face of yours" giving him another evil smile not getting any sense of fear from the boy.

Yavin

Ever since the crew was grounded the crew had changed. They didn't change mentally or really who they were, they actually just trained most of the time. Everyday the crew would run, work out, and practice sparring to strengthen and sharpen their skills for the day they were waiting for. The crew kept their word to Mothma, they didn't leave the planet. Instead Sabine called in a favor from Ketsu to find Stahl for them so that way when the time comes they will be ready. Sabine had already told Ketsu that Stahl was on Mustafar, but when Ketsu found out that he had been transferred she had been on countless missions trying to find Stahl's location.

Sabine and Ezra were outside the ghost sparring with each other again. Ezra threw a right punch at Sabine, but soon found a punch in his gut causing him to walk back in pain. "That's 3 points for me Ezra" Sabine said taking her stance again. Ezra looked at Sabine smiling while saying "don't worry Sabine, I'll win the bet soon enough" taking stance. However as the two were about to attack each other when Scarlet came out saying "hey love birds Ketsu is calling us, Common Room now" making them both blush at what she had just said. The two looked at each other smiling before they walked into the Ghost.

Common Room

"...the last location is..." Ketsu began telling Hera when Sabine, Ezra, and Scarlet entered the room getting everyones attention. The three sat down at the table with Sabine asking "have you found anything Ketsu" getting "no, so far on my search I've only come across false information. I'm close to finding him, but..." from Ketsu who began rubbing the back of her neck. "But what" Sabine asked making Ketsu sign and say "I only have one location I can check to find information about where he is, if this one comes up blank...." not finishing the sentence since everyone knew what would happen. "Karabast, I say we should just forget Mothmas rule and go with her" Zeb said getting "no Zeb, if we do we could have the Empire and the Rebellion hunting us. We don't need that kind of heat"  from Kanan making Zeb about to say something when Kanan placed his hand on his shoulder saying "patience Zeb". Zeb just slouched back in the seat with his arms crossed. Ketsu then turned to Hera saying "I'm heading to the location right now, I'll contact you when I've found something" getting a nod from Hera and a "be careful Ketsu" from Sabine. "Thank you" was all Ketsu said before the transmission ended. After that everyone got up with Hera and Kanan going to their room they now shared. Zeb went to his room to train with his punching bag. Chopper planning a prank on Zen. Scarlet and Sabine went to their room, but before Sabine entered she noticed Ezra climbing up the ladder head to the roof. Sabine began wondering what Ezra was doing up there.

Ezra walk over the roof of the ship sitting down where the metal made a 45 degree angle so he could lie down on. Ezra looked up at the sky seeing clouds forming shapes. Some shapes Ezra could make out, like a loth cat or a mountain. Some formed shapes Ezra tried to make out but couldn't. Ezra looked at the sky for a very long time trying to forget about what Ketsu said and how might never see Stahl again. Suddenly Ezra heard a soft voice say "your thinking about him aren't you" making Ezra turn around to see Sabine walking over to him. Sabine then sat down next to Ezra saying "you miss him don't you" looking up at the sky. Ezra lied back down next to Sabine saying "yeah, I'm worried Sabine. What if Ketsu doesn't find anything. We could lose him forever". "Ezra don't think about that. Have hope that we will find him and bring him home" Sabine said putting her hand on his shoulder. Ezra just gave a sign saying "I know, its just hard Sabine." soon finding himself caught in a hug. Ezra was surprised at first but soon hugged Sabine back. The two then separated with Sabine saying "I know Ezra, but you have to have hope" perking Ezras spirits up. The two then lied back down watching the clouds form more odd shapes. The two just kept making figures out of the clouds until Ezra said "you want to know something Sabine" catching the artists attention. "Earlier that day Stahl and I made a bet. The bet was if he would come back from the mission without breaking a sweat" Ezra said smiling at what had been agreed on that day. Sabine couldn't help but find it funny too since Mustafar is one of the hottest places in the world so the chances of not sweating were low. However Sabine also sparked on a curiosity about what either of them would win. So Sabine then asked Ezra "what was the rewards" getting a nervous look from the boy. However Ezra knew that he couldn't hide the secret so he looked a Sabine saying "the rewards were if I won he would have to wear pink for 1 month..." making Sabine and Ezra laugh at the thought of Stahl wearing all pink. When the laughter calmed down a bit Sabine asked "and what was his reward" getting Ezra to stare into her eyes. It was almost as if Ezra had traped her because she couldn't take her eyes off of his. Ezra then began moving closer and closer to Sabine until their faces were inches apart. Sabine didn't even decide to let Ezra say or do anything, she grabbed him by the collar smacking their lips together. The two then kissed each other for what felt like forever not letting each other go.

Pryce's Room

Pryce walked back and forth still extremely pissed. Stahl still hadn't talked even after what she did to him, marking him as hers. This drove her beyond her normal anger attitude, to the point where she would have shot every trooper in the base. Suddenly she heard a beeping go off on her communications hub. Pryce went over and activated the panel producing a hologram of Thrawn. "Admiral Thrawn how are you doing" Pryce asked trying to fix her hair. "I am doing alright Governor, but I didn't contact you so you could ask how I am. I wanted to address the problem you are having with Stahl" Thrawn said. When Pryce heard this she almost choked on her saliva scared that word got out to Thrawn. "W-well you see..." Pryce began explaining but was interrupted by Thrawn who said "Governor I don't want some sort of rift raft I want the truth. You won't be punished for that" making Pryce let out a big sign of relief. Pryce then straightened up saying "the boy won't cooperate, he's just a stubborn bastard. I've tried all of the torture techniques but he won't talk" getting Thrawn to think about the situation. Thrawn then told Pryce "well if hurting him won't work have you considered a different approach" getting "Oh I've considered capturing one of the Ghost crew members but they haven't been seen or heard of in the last 3 weeks" from Pryce as she crossed her arms. "There is another person you can use. A Mandalorian bounty hunter who goes by the name Ketsu Onyo. Stahl has grown...quite attached to her. She is currently on her way to one of our abondoned bases in hopes of finding out Stahl's location. So why don't you "help" her with that" Thrawn said making Pryce smile. Pryce then said "I'm on my way" ending the transmition then contacting one of the destroyers saying "I want a destroyer sent to this location immediately. We have a rebel to capture."

Abandoned base on a meteor (not the same one as in season 1)

Ketsu Onyo came out of hyperspace coming across a huge meteor. Surprisingly it wasn't surrounded by other meteors to give the Empire some advantage. Ketsu took a deep breath saying to herself "please have something" as she grabbed the controls and made her approach to the base.

After Ketsu landed the Shadow Caster she grabbed her spear and pistol exiting the ship. Ketsu then entered the busted up base. She had to pass through many obstacles, broken metal, supply boxes, and rocks that caved on the base. Once Ketsu made it to the main termonol she activated it barely getting any power to look at the logs. As she kept scrolling down she didnt find anything on the location of Stahl. Suddenly the terminal cut off shocking Ketsu. She then heard a familiar voice say "if your looking for Stahl I can show where he is". Ketsu turned around to see Pryce with 20 shadow troopers with her. Ketsu just looked at them with their blasters aiming toward her. "Where is he" Ketsu said to Pryce slowly moving her hand to her pistol, "he is where he belongs, with me" Pryce told the bounty hunter making her mad. Ketsu got so mad she said "if you did anything to that boy you answer to me" making Pryce laugh saying "I don't think so bounty hunter. The only thing your going to help me do is finally break that boy" hitting one of Ketsus nerves. Ketsu grabbed her blaster quickly trying to shoot Pryce, but as she aimed it multiple stun shots made direct hits on her body making it go beyond numb and knocking her out. Pryce looked at the Mandalorian with pleasantness telling herself "now I will finally be rid of those rebels" looking at the troops saying "bring her, she is going to be my new tool for that boy" getting a nod from them all. Pryce turned around walking towards her ship with 2 troopers carrying Ketsu with them.

Hope you all like this one.
Spectre 7 out.
