"Hera syndulla be careful, project Starkiller is out there, by the Empires activists and through our spies it's a super weapon." The hooded figure in a hologram warned. "We'll be careful and alert for any unusual activity fulcrum." Hera responded with some concern in her quarters.
The crew walked up the ramp ready to go and Sabine was in deep thoughts. 'I just have a weird feeling about Ezra but I can't explain it but he's saved my life twice!' Sabine thought but the mission took first priority. The group rejoined in the cockpit which Hera shortly came in later but her face showed deep concern. It didn't take a Jedi to sense it but it was fear.
"Hera what's wrong?" Zeb asked curiously, "Zeb, guys there's rumors of a Super Weapon codenamed... STARKILLER, fulcrum said they have no idea what it is and what the Empire plans to do with it." Hera said sulkily, Sabine looked down at the floor, kanan was in deep thought and Zeb Just sat there up right processing what he heard. Ezra faked his concern by leaning on the back of the chair and looking through the cockpit and a heavy breath was released. "Ezra, you just joined us and are you still comfortable with sticking with us?" Kanan the Jedi requested, Ezra lowered his head to look Hera and Kanan in the eyes, "I'm sticking with this crew till the end, super weapon or not you guys gave me somewhere to sleep, food and not lonely on the streets." Ezra responded with a total lie. In the depths of his mind he took the joy in playing with their Emotions for the long term, their grim reaper is hidden in plain sight.

The ghost lifted off towards the stars and Hera pushed the lever to launch into hyperspace towards their target.

Half a hour later a cruiser was in space and by the color of its dark grey it was Imperial. "Unidentified ship ID yourself and your business." The imperial naval officer said but inside two Trandoshan slavers were listening. "We have a extra Wookiee for this slave ship we were told to drop off." Hera responded with but Ezra closed his eyes and meditated. Something was off about this situation and he couldn't pin it yet, "dock on port 2 we'll have security secure him." The officer responded with and the ghost pulled alongside and locked in place.

Kanan and Sabine got up along with zeb and headed towards the air lock. They had Zeb put his rifle with Sabine while he faked like he had binders on just as they pressed the button to the door for the cruiser two heavily armed storm troopers where there to greet them. "That's not a Wookiee it's a lasat!" A storm trooper yelled but before they could react two blaster bolts whizzed into their heads and dropped dead. Kanan turned to see Ezra holding his pistol out still and bolstering it as he approached the shocked trio. "If you wanna drew those slaves we gotta move." Ezra said which Sabine casually handed Zeb his bow rifle back. The two slavers knew exactly these were rebels and the trap was set in motion so the two left the cabin to kill the rebels. Sabine ran off to take control off the anti gravity while Zeb and the others went to free the slaves. Kanan got beside the door and Zeb on the left but as Ezra slid behind Kanan, a explosion went off ripping the door off and two slave masters barged in. With their blasters opening fire followed by storm troopers right behind them Ezra fired at one of the slavers gernades turning him inside out and killing a few storm troopers. "Spectre 2 what's going on!" Sabine yelled as she heard blaster fire getting near. "It's a trap we gotta move Spectre 5." Zeb said as he ran down the hallway Ezra not fair behind. Sabine sling with chopper ditched the original plan and planted explosives and went to join their friends. The group eventually meet but just as Ezra neared the regrouping Spectres he was tackled by the second slave master. "We'll kill you for messing with guild property." The master said which Ezra got cut on the arm from his claws and Ezra used his legs and kicked him off him. With storm troopers right behind they opened fire pinning the others down where Ezra and the master were in a brutal fist fight to the death but Ezra used his agility and swung on the back of the master neck and placed his hands by the master jaw and simply using the force Snapped the masters neck with ease. The beast fell on the ground which Ezra rolled and dodged blaster bolts effortlessly but that was short lived as he saw them shoot the air lock panel locking them in. Ezra turned around towards the imperials closing on them, "Spectre 2 I'll cover you now go!" He yelled followed by grabbing one of the storm troopers E11s and using it as a club followed by blasting a few more down as he weaved through the group. Kanan had no choice but to cut the door open with his lightsaber and get aboard and Sabine looked back at Ezra but he was committed to saving their lives as she fired a few bolts covering Zeb. Zeb watched as a grey figure came up behind Ezra and knocked him out with a Bo-rifle. They had no choice but to depart and chopper closed the door leaving the two who hoped Ezra would rejoin them the most gone. As they departed a imperial star destroyer opened fire causing them to flee into hyperspace. Without a choice she regretted doing so but pressed the detonator button blowing up the cruiser that had docked just not to long after they left. She slumped down on the air lock door with guilt not knowing Ezra had been captured or killed that worried her. The others were In confusion what to do too.
