A Star Wars Rebels Story... ( Completed )

The Unknown Knowledge

~Sabine

"I guess your contact underestimated the security of this shipment!" I yelled to Hera as she piloted around mountains trying to dodge the blaster fire coming from two TIE's that were following us.

"Yeah. Guess the Empires moves have become a little less predictable." Hera replied.

"Hera! Who even is this Fulcrum and how can we trust him or her?" I asked.

"The less you know the better Sabine." Hera replied gruffly as she was trying to out maneuver the TIE's that were in hot pursuit.

"And I keep telling you I need to know more..." I said under my breath.

Hera found a tight opening and we just barely squeezed through. We hit a few nasty bumps while we flew through the opening. Ezra quickly ran a scan of the ship to see how it was doing.

"Just a scratch. No other damage." He said

"Oh there's damage alright. The steering is off." Replied Hera.

Just then we had more cannon fire behind us as the TIE's caught up with us and brought friends. Hera shot two of them and then shot a mountain we were passing by to create a dust could. This caused the TIE pilots to crash into one another.

"Why don't you teach me some of those high flying skills." Ezra said smugly to Hera.

"You fly my ship. You really think you're ready?" Hera joked.

Ezra shook his head 'yes' before raising his head to see out the window to see another two TIE's flying straight at us. Ezra panicked.

"Not ready. Not READY!" He proclaimed.

Hera quickly dealt with the two TIE's and we flew back to the 'Ghost'. After we were reattached, we climbed down the ladder and into the main lobby to find Kanan and Zeb awake and playing a holo-game. It looked like they had been waiting for us for a while. Hera was the first one down followed by me and then Ezra.

"So I would take it that the mission was a success?" Kanan asked.

"Yes love, but I scraped the hull of the 'Phantom'." Hera replied.

"You?" Kanan said surprised by Hera's comment.

"Well if you hadn't distracted me I would have been more focused." Hera replied seductively.

"I knew it! Had to be my fault somewhere." Kanan said smugly.

"Ezra." Hera said when she saw him sneaking off.

"You and Zeb run a diagnostic on the 'Phantom'. And make it quick because I am leaving soon." she said as she disappeared into the cock-pit of the ship.

I heard Hera mumbling about something to someone through the door but I could never hear clearly what they were saying. I was so frustrated by how I was being kept in the dark. I finally heard her conversation end. I was about to go in to confront Hera on the matter but then I heard Kanan's footsteps. I ducked into a dark corner so no one could see me. After waiting a little bit I decided to talk to Hera even if Kanan was in there.

"Hera! Is this some sort of joke to you. How can we even trust someone we don't know!" I yelled with fury.

"If Hera trusts the contact then I trust the contact. No questions asked." Kanan said as he rose to leave the cock-pit.

"You can be so frustrating." I spat at Kanan.

"Yeah. Well I get that a lot." He said as the doors closed behind him.

"I am thru with asking. I am telling you that I am going on your supply run with you." I demanded.

"You know. You can be a bit frustrating too you know." Hera gently reminded me.
