It's been a week since the training day on Yavin.  With morning running with fifty pound packs for  miles followed by a grueling run and gun courses with live gernades and ammunition there were mistakes made but by the ones who weren't taking it seriously. But things back home for a artist would test the rebel alliance on loyalty to their people. 

A group of rebels and guardians plus a few mandalorens who volunteered were running through the forst of Yavin. As the group came to a raven after miles of running, "everyone take a rest well be leaving in a two hours." Ezra said as he sat down and opened a ration to share with Sabine as she went to the stream to filter water. The group of 100 hundred followed the example and many took the time to clean their weapons from grueling training at the range. 

Meanwhile on mandalore the gathering forces of mandalorions was gathering inside the caves and tunnels their ancestors built for shelter. "Manadalore we got a few minutes before we launch our assault." The  soldier told his leader, "get me in contact with the rebellion ASAP." No Katan replied as she walked across a cat walk seeing three transports of the best their people had to offer for the first wave on the captail.

Minutes later back at Yavin command. "Senator we got a transmission coming from mandaore... it's urgent!" One ifcthe tech support yelled through the room, "patch it through." Organa replied, "this is no katan leader of the mandalorian people... the efforts of the ghost crew and the guardians were amazing on the battlefield... we are beginning our assault on a our and Fenn Rau and Ursa should arrive shortly if anything goes wrong."  No katan told the rebellion that's when Sabine appeared by hologram and said "mad'am is like to join the fight to liberate our people." Ezra who was watching from distance understood the honor she had for her people just like the loyalty his force has for the republic and freedom for all. "See you in a couple hours Sabine... sending my location through secure lines now." That's when the transmission ended because the imperial communications  frigate was able to end the transmission but was luckily unable to pin point where at and top and the conversation. 

In Yavins forest a couple was talking about the future, "Ezra I love y'all and want a family with you but after this war so our kids don't live in fear of the empire we grew up in." Sabine told her boyfriend , "Sabine you in we have developed a force bond ... if you're in trouble I can sense it and I'll send lovely messages when I'm going to sleep or I'm about to go on another operation." Ezra replied followed by kissing his girlfriend on the cheek and she hugged him tightly because she didn't know when she would return. She was fearful of not having the life she dreamed about and Ezra sensed this so he ordered his training group to head back to base he'll be there soon. 

As the couple took the time to sit on some rocks Sabine was going through all things Ezra did for her from returning the supplies to knocking vizago around so they can have money for food and fuel. "Let's get something to eat before you leave Sabine... my warrior has a big thing ahead of her and I want you to do your best." Ezra told Sabine which brought a smile on her face. 

Hours later it was dark and the ramp of the night brother was busy with good byes from her space family. "See you guys soon and I shall return with victory." Sabine said as she waved at her family before walking up the ramp and to the controls.  As the engines bellowed with heat it the thrust started kicking up dust and leafs in a circle as the ship transformed into flights mode. 

As Sabine descended she saw flashes of blaster bolts in the air and she used the targeting scope for a better view and it was the formation of transports And fighters attempting to break through  to the capital. Meanwhile with no katan watched from a cliff with a pair of binoculars in the night sky of bolts and series of explosions killing many men and women. 

As Sabine landed near by and ran down the ramp she saw the full view it was saddening to see the burning wreckage and corpses mangled on the ground. With smoke billowing a formation of tie defenders flew over patrolling the aera followed by the intricatior. "How is that possible." Bo katan said out loud not noticing Sabine watching through her targeting scope on her helmet. "Mandalore they jammed my coms on the way down and I saw it happen... our people need our help." Sabine said, no katan holding her helmet cursed out loud followed by "Sabine those imperial turrets and fighters are forcing us to not take the city and with the information  you told me and that cruiser will deny us a escape to regroup we must go back to our gorilla tactics to survive."  

On the opening gate tiger Saxon watched the failed attempt and that's when Thrawn appeared by hologram from a storm troopers holodisk. "Grand admiral." Tiger said, the chiss saw the smoke and fire in the night sky and said "seems their failed attempt was destroyed." , "yes grand admiral there's no survivors and we have no casualties." Saxon replied, then Thrawn responded with "hold the line only make patrols and force them from hiding once located take them out." Thrawn said followed by the transmission ending. "Trooper notify walkers to mount up we're going hunting." Saxon told the Trooper without emotion. 

Back on Yavin Ezra felt fear and desperation as he meditates that's when he sensed a fimiliar  presence. "Mom... dad." He called out in the woods, "son open your eyes we're here." His father told him and he did. "MOM , DAD" Ezra called in joy seeing them. "Son we came to warn you .., mandalore is in trouble and if you don't act soon your girlfriend will be massacred by the empire." His father said but before he could say anything his mom spoke "we are with the force Ezra we'll always be with you and we've been watching your relationship flourish with Sabine and I say you have good taste to be with a girl like her." His Mom said, "hey going Ezra.. lead like we did during the clone wars." His father followed up with then disappeared. Ezra was in shock but he understood what they were telling him and in a instant he grabbed his helmet and put it on. He then stood p and started running through the forest back to the base.
