We had now left Dagobah and were headed straight back towards the rebel base, having no idea regarding whether or not they will even let me back in after all that I have done.
"We're here Caleb."
Oh boy. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do when I see the rebels. They'll just be mad and everything, I don't even know how to begin to apologise for my actions. From what I've heard, Sato doesn't care about the magics of the force, so he'll probably never believe me.
I slowly stumbled towards the base, walking slowly until I had reached the conference room. Embarrassment crept over me as I was looking at multiple rebels that I had once called friends.
"This is all because of you Caleb."
"You lead them to us!"
"Why would you betray us?"
"He's a spy"
Tears were now all that filled my eyes, desperate to leak out, but I of course had to do everything I could to stop that from happening. That was it. Sato had finally arrived, he had a really strict face, as he stared at me in disappointment.
"Dume. I will need your full report." He said madly.
I slowly followed him as I was led into a large room with about 20 guards all holding powerful weapons that were built to combat the Jedi.
"Commander, I am so sorry. I'll understand if you want to punish me, and I will take full responsibilities for my actions. You can strip away my rebel status, torture me for hours. I wouldn't mind." I said poetically.
Little did I know Sato brought me in here for nothing but execution.
"Caleb. You leave me no choice. You betrayed the rebellion, you betrayed your friends, you betrayed me. I gave you a chance, I gave you a life worth living for, so that you were at least little more than a scumbag, and after all this time you've been spying on us!" He yelled.
"No commander. I swear I am not a spy. I was being controlled by the Sith, they..."
"Enough! I have had enough of your Jedi philosophy, I don't want to hear it! All I know is that you are an imperial scum. You have been spying on us since day one. And look, you even recorded a message that led the empire to us. Therefore, I sentence you to death!"
"WHAT?"
"Eliminate the boy" He commanded.
It suddenly seemed as if time stopped. Billions of thoughts entered my head about whether or not I should continue on my meaningless life. For what I've done, I totally deserved it. I have killed countless rebels and have killed even more because I led the empire to us. So death it should be.
So that was it, the 20 rebels aimed their guns at me as they finally started firing upon me. But I was given another chance. Thankfully, the force immediately turned on my instincts at the last second, as I swiped out my lightsaber just in time to block the incoming attacks.
Time slowed down once again, as I thought about why I had been spared at the very last second. Then I remembered. Ahsoka, she still needed me, she can't bare to live in a world without me, I would break her heart, and that's the last thing I wanted at this point.
That was when I also remembered that I couldn't possibly bare the consequences of losing one of the last Jedi in the galaxy. I would be a coward, Master Billaba sacrificed her last breath for me, and it would be selfish of me to waste it.
No. This is not the way I'm going out, definitely not without a fight, and not without a good cause.
So I continued defending myself as the second and third shots were fired, as I managed to deflect them onto the ceiling. Then the next wave came, and then the next, then the next. I was barely able to block all of them but the force was definitely working in my favour for this once. With the help of the force, I finally managed to weaken the ceiling, weak enough so that I could jump up and cut a hole in it, allowing me to escape.
