Sabine POV

"Wow Ezra," Zeb said surprised.

Ezra never told anything about his life on the street so we only guess about it. Zeb and I even have put one time a gamble. Zeb said Ezra already had been arrested a eight times and I went for something higher, twelve. Turns out he didn't know. At ten he was stopped counting, but after that he was still arrested a few times. But once it was on purpose so he could get inside for something. So no one won. Still it was impressive when you realize that every time he also escaped on his own.

"Thought you lived on the streets on your own?" Zeb continued

"Oh it hurts, is this how you feel about me? Pushed aside." Said the boy.

"Can't you shut up for a couple minutes Dai!" Cried Ezra, who hit Dai on his head with his lightsaber. His eyes closed and he fell unconscious to the ground.

"Oh fine," Ezra growled and rolled his eyes. Ezra bend over him, lifted him up under his arms and shoved him against the wall between some crates. After he had done that, he walked to his speeders and climbed onto one of the three. "Well are you coming or not?!"

"Ezra, we can't just leave him there?" I said.

"Why not? He did the same thing to me." Ezra took off after he added. "Twice."

"Ezra!" I shouted at him.

Zeb and I stared at each other. Zeb was the first to ask. "Now what do we do with the kid?" He pointed to the unconscious boy between the crates.

"Take him?" I replied doubtfully.

"Ezra is not going to like this." Zeb said before he picked up the boy and laid him on the speeder. Like me he climbed on a speeder to get going toward the Ghost.

Kanan POV

I was meditating in my room when I heard a speeder coming. There will Sabine, Zeb and Ezra been. I walked out through the tailgate. Hera was already there. Ezra was alone and was quite pissed off. He ignored us and walked probably straight to his and Zebs room.

"What's his problem?" I asked Hera.

"I'll go talk to him. Maybe something has happened." She replied.

Just when we walk back inside the Ghost, we heard two other speeders coming. "Zeb, Sabine, what happened." I asked right away when they stopped.

"This" was all Sabine said as she pointed at the boy lying on Zebs speeder.

He just woke up. He shook his with his head and then jump of the speeder to look at us. He rubbed behind his head. "He has beaten me down, hasn't he?" He asked Sabine and Zeb.

"Yep," she replied together.

The boy only raised his shoulders. "Bwa not the first time and probably not the last time."

"Sabine! Zeb! Explain!" Said Hera. She looked very irritated. Just to bring a stranger here, when the empire lately was so close on our heels.

"You better ask Ezra, we know almost nothing." Answered Sabine.

"Allow me to explain." Said the boy. "I am Dai Forst." He introduced himself with an overdue bow. I didn't liked that kid already.

Ezra POV

Arg! I screamed inside myself. Just when everything was going good, that dirty fake serpent had to show up. Pacing (in my language that's an expression so I didn't really know how to translate it. But I mean walk stressed up between 2 places the hole time. Sorry!) I walked through the room.

I stopped at the bed and hit it with my fist. The rest will ask questions and probably Dai was already 'explaining' everything to them. And with his exaggerated tone as always. Everything perk up to put himself in a good daylight.

I could feel him. Zeb and Sabine have brought him here.

Arg! They'll regret it because Dai only brings problems. It has always been that way and probably it will always be.

Meanwhile, I was already on my way to the ramp of the Ghost where you could hear his voice come from .

Hera POV

The boy, Dai, told us that he and Ezra were partners for four years. Once, sometime before we had met Ezra, a mission had gone wrong.

"So Ezra was surrounded by those bucketheads. The distraction was a little too good and because a little error in judgment of me, there were slightly more troopers than expected." He told with a dramatic tone.

"Of course, I knew I could do nothing. The two of us could never compete against them all. We were totally outnumbered. Ezra resisted quite well, and while I was still hiding in conflict with myself, I decided to flee. It was a painful decision. "

He hung his head down for likely a dramatic effect.

"You fled and left me behind." Ezra came past the tailgate and didn't look happy at all.

Ezra POV

I had heard almost the whole story about our last mission.

"I had almost half of the troopers disabled and there were only 15 of them. You were just a coward like you were before that. "

The rest of the crew was staring at me now. I went on. "Always telling lies, to everyone: me, Maia ..."

"Let Maia out here." Dai hissed between his teeth, just like a snake. From there his codename: serpent.

"Or what. What are you going to do. "I clenched my fists. He did just the same. Maia had always been the weak point between us two.

"This."

I was surprised when he pushed me backwards with a force-push. Even though I knew he was Force-sensitive. Because of the same handy 'characteristics'. As I called it that time.

Still, I was surprised.

I quickly jumped up and knocked the dust off my orange jumpsuit.

"Are we going to play it like that? Because I can do it to." I held out my hand and Dai grabbed at an invisible hand around his throat.

An anger flowed through my veins.

I squeezed harder and felt better and better at the thought that he could not last long without air.

A voice called out to me, but I was just focused on squeezing the coward his throat.

"Ezra" I heard Kanan screaming and I 'woke up' from my trans.

So it was him who previously had already called me.

Dai was gasping for breath on the ground. Hera and Sabine immediately go to help him.

Kanan POV

Before I realized it well, Dai pushed Ezra back by using the force.

He was a Force-sensitive! I realized shoked.

In response Ezra began to choke him with the force. A dark flickering appeared in Ezra normal bright blue eyes.

"Ezra!" I shouted, but Ezra didn't seem to hear me.

"Ezra", I yelled, this time louder. Now he seemed to respond and Dai fell to the ground gasping for air. Hera and Sabine help him right away.

I looked at Ezra who looked shocked at everything. When he saw me, he turned away and ran into the long dry grass.

"Ezra!" I yelled at him and followed him. The distance wasn't getting bigger or smaller. Wow the kid had become fast. All the chases have brought his fitness arrow.

"Ezra stop!" I tried again.

I stopped running when I saw where he was going: his tower, an abandoned communications tower of the Empire.

As I watched him run towards there, I walked towards it. He has at least a little time for him alone, but I had to talk to him as soon as possible.
