Kanan raised his lightsaber in salute. He was a Jedi again. There was no going back this time.

"Whoa!" Ezra sighed. He had never seen Kanan do anything like this. This was impressive.

Kanan was dogging and ducking every blast he could. Those he couldn't he deflected using his lightsaber. He knew where every shot was coming from, when it would come, and it's path. This allowed him to react in a way to prevent it from hitting him just seconds before it would. Kanan was single handily holding off an entire platoon without engaging in hand to hand combat.

The Wookiees didn't fail to notice. They picked up fallen blasters and joining in the fight.

"Sabine, Zeb get the Wookiees out of there... time to go." Kanan ordered not having any of it.

"Everyone in to the container!" Zeb hollered as he pulled a couple Wookiees out of the fight. Wullffwarro reached out towards the catwalk bellowing. Kitwarr hadn't been captured yet.

Ezra didn't need to understand him to know what he was saying. He looked at Kanan's acrobatic preforms in battle, then looking back to the cub. Finally he saw something he could do to help the cub. Kanan only ordered Sabine and Zeb, not him, to get the Wookiees out of there. He could hear Hera's voice repeating the phrase she had told him earlier while the others were on the transport before he was captured. The words she said as she convinced him to go after them when they realize it was a trap.

Ezra dashed towards Kitwarr.

"Kid, stop!" Zeb cried, but Ezra wasn't listening. The kid ran though the maze of crates and past the battle without being noticed by a single stormtroopers that was still firing at Kanan. He only caught the attention of Agent Kallus, who turned to go after him.

"Karabast, I swear if he's left behind again, it's not my fault." Zeb said struggling to get Wullffwarro into the container. He couldn't leave to help him. The rest wouldn't see it that way.

There was another explosion lit up the sky. Hopefully it wasn't the Ghost. Zeb couldn't tell from the distance. Finally getting the all the Wookiee in the container he turned to fire at the stormtroopers.

Kanan made another gravity defying jump. "Zeb, Hera's incoming." He said while continuing to the incoming blast. He walked backwards toward the container. Sabine fired while doing the same.

"Get in, you fur balls now!" Zeb said fighting a few Wookiees who where trying to get back into the fight. They all got in with Zeb and Sabine. Kanan was last in.

Zeb scanned the crowd. Ezra and the cub hadn't made it back yet.

"Kanan, I think you inspired the kid to do, well, something you would do." Zeb said gesturing towards the catwalk where Ezra was chasing a stormtrooper and the cub.

Kanan's calm state he had been in broke. He stood there with his lightsaber still in his hands, startled. This was the last thing he expected. He wasn't going to leave Ezra behind again. However, there wasn't enough time to go after him.

"Kanan?" Zeb asked forcing him to make a quick decision.

"Seal the container!" He reluctantly sighed. Zeb nodded and did as instructed. Kanan closed his eyes. 'You too Ezra.' He had almost said, but didn't. He had let his Padawan choice what to do. He had hoped Ezra would stay safely hidden and watched him. Going after the cub was something he should be proud of the kid for. In a way he was, but the fact that they hadn't made it back yet wasn't good. Zeb was right it was something he would do. That's what made him worry about the kid.

Kitwarr was running on the large bridge over the pit when a flaming tie fighter spiraled downward. It caused part of the bridge in front of the cub to collapsed when it struck it. The cub skidded to a stop at the edge. There was no where to go. He turned as the stormtrooper caught up with him with their gun pointed at him. The cub saw Ezra coming up behind the stormtrooper. He cried out to him help. The stormtrooper turned and aimed for Ezra.

Ezra could feel the cubs guilt as the trooper turned to aim at him. Sorry he had alerted the trooper to Ezra's presence. In truth it was unavoidable.

Ezra jumped doing a somersault over the stormtrooper landing in front of the cub who was amazed by the jump. He winked at the cub letting him know that it was ok and he was there to help him. The cub already knew that though. He turned and fired an energy blast at the stormtrooper knocking him off the bridge and letting out a scream.

When Ezra turned back around Kitwarr had his eyes closed. He scooped up the cub and saying "Gotcha." He sensed that the cub felt safe like this. Ezra started unlocking the binders.

Kitwarr noticed Kallus behind behind them. Ezra was too busy to sense him before he warned him of the ISB agent behind him.

Sabine tried to keep the Wookiees under control. She was mad at Zeb about losing Ezra again. She also wanted to talk to him about that and the Wookiees.

She didn't ask Kanan for help. He was thankful for that. He needed the time to rest and think. He leaned up against the wall with his eyes closed. He probably looked drained, but he didn't care. He was recovering and focused on sensing if Ezra was in trouble. Kanan was probably more aware of Ezra's surroundings than he was. What the Jedi sensed was happening wasn't good, but the teen was holding up for now. 'Please let me get to him.' He silently begged the force.

"Magnetic seal locked." Hera informed them.

"I hate this part." Zeb said looking at Sabine.

The Ghost lifted the container and took off. The Wookiees tumbling around into each other. One bumping into Zeb. Sabine kept her footing.

The hatch above opened into the cargo bay of the Ghost. Kanan wastes no time and leapt though it.

"Into the ship." Sabine yelled to the Wookiees. The Ghost turned making it easier for them to get to the hatch.

Kanan headed to the top of the Ghost. "Ezra went after the cub. They didn't make it back in time." He informed Hera as he climbed up. "He's at the bridge."

"We'll get them." She replies flying the ship in a steep incline, & once she got the all clear that told her everyone was out, dropped the container to where it hit the only remaining TIE.

"I know." The Jedi says. "I'm not leaving him behind. Not again."

Ezra still had his back to Kallus and finished up freeing the cub. He put the astromech arm back in his backpack. Kit wart warned him just as he sensed the man behind him. He turned around. Kallus raised his blaster to him. He knew it was set for stun. That meant that Kallus wanted him alive for some reason. That wasn't good.

"It's over for you, Jedi. Master and apprentice, such a rear find these days. Perhaps you are the only two left." Kallus said.

'So, he figured it out.' Ezra thought to himself. He decided it was better to act like he didn't know what he was talking about. In some other reality he probably didn't. At one point what he was about to say was true.

"I don't know where you get your delusions, you bucket head. I work alone." Ezra said as a sudden gust blowing through his hair.

"Not this time." Kanan's voice came from below. Kallus turned towards it. Kanan stood on top of the Ghost as it rose with his lightsaber ignited.

Kallus shot at Kanan multiple times. Kanan deflected each blast back at him. His armor kept them from burning him, but it didn't affect their impact. He fell backwards over the railing of the catwalk.

Safely back on the Ghost Ezra watched Kitwarr run freely to his father. He was glad the cub wasn't holding onto him anymore. His claws hurt. Ezra forgot the pain as he watched the father and son's reunion. He couldn't help but think about his own parents for a second before pushing the memories away. That only brought back pain.

A hand squeezed Ezra's shoulders. He looked up to see it was Kanan. They were both silent as they watched the Wookiees.

Everyone gathered to tell the Wookiees bye. Sabine translated as they thanked them with roars as they returned to one of their own ships. Wullffwarro and Kitwarr was the last two to leave. Wullffwarro roared something meant for Ezra.

"Um, he said that if we ever need help, the Wookiees will be there." Sabine translated. Wullffwarro reached out really rubbed Ezra's hair. Ezra felt the strength behind the gentle touch.

"Good luck, Kitwarr, and try to stay out of trouble." Ezra said with a smile. Kitwarr roared something in response. Sabine didn't translate. Ezra was sure it was a 'I'll try.'

"Trouble, humph. Look who's talking." Zeb said sealing the door behind the two Wookiees.

"So, are you going back to your recon opt or what?" Sabine finally asked.

"Only to get my stuff. You guys were supposed to pick me up today. Remember?" Ezra responded. "Besides what's the point. I wasn't getting anywhere. There's nothing out there for me to find on them."

"You're giving up?" Zeb asked.

"No, I'm just taking a break. I'll go back some other time." The boy said.

Back on Lothal Ezra and Kanan went back to the tower to get Ezra's stuff. They talked as they packed up his things.

Kanan remembered explaining the force to Ezra here. Ezra had said that the flowers on the vines that grew on this tower are what he thought about when he tried to calm himself down. Kanan had thought that being here would make things easier for Ezra at the time. Plus this was his place that he felt safe.

"I'm going back to the Ghost with this." Kanan said picking up one of the two boxes.

"I'll be there shortly. I want some time to myself right now." Ezra said.

"Well you know the way. Let me know when you get back." Kanan replied.

"I will." Ezra says.

A few hours later Kanan sensed Ezra at his door while he meditated.
