Anyways, enjoy!

A figure stood on a building, overlooking a city. The figure was obviously a girl, wearing a black long sleeved shirt with light green swirls around the forearms, black jeans, leather boots and a black cloak. Around her waist was a dark brown belt with some clips on it and a blaster was hidden on her hip. Only her chin and mouth could be seen, her eyes and hair hidden by her tightly pulled cloak. She looked down and watched as a boy walked over to a merchant who had been thrown over by Imperials. The boy bent down and packed the fruits into his backpack and walked off. The girl shook her head.

"Ezra..." She muttered. She jumped down and landed in front of the merchant, who jumped in surprise. "I'm sorry." She whispered as she began to help the man clean up.

"No, no, don't be. You're helping me." The merchant smiled, grateful for the help. Once the fruit was all packed, the girl stood and began to walk off when the merchant said, "Wait." The girl turned as he held out some fruit. "Take these." He insisted.

"No, give them to the children and the people who need it most." The girl shook her head. "I'll be fine." She smiled and ran off in the same way as the boy. As she reached him, an explosion sounded. She stumbled backwards slightly and heard,

"Get those crates out of here! Keep them safe at all costs!" She stood up when Ezra ran by.

"Ezra!" She cried, grabbing his arm and stopping him. "What are you doing!?"

"Just a little business. I'll see you back home, Karma." Ezra said before he ran off. The girl, Karma, cursed under her breath. Quickly, she ran after the boy but could only watch as Ezra jumped down onto one of the transports that was surrounded by a Lasat and a man with dark skin and hair and blue eyes. "Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!" Ezra said and gave the two a salute before he backed up the transport and left.

"Ugh, now what?" The Lasat asked.

"After that kid!" The man cried. Karma's eyes widened under her cloak as she finally realized who the man was. She was snapped out of her thoughts as the two grabbed two more transports and followed after Ezra. Quickly, the hooded girl ran as fast as she could along the rooftops to follow them. She watched as another girl, who also hid her face but with a helmet instead of a cloak, was pushing one of the crates away while the same two followed Ezra. Karma groaned as they left the city and she was forced to jump onto the ground and run. She lost sight of the group until she found the smoking remains of one of the transports and the man talking on a comm as Ezra left.

"This is Spectre 1, I need a lift." The man said. Karma couldn't hear the reply but as soon as he was off, she spoke up.

"If you're going after him, I'm going too." The man turned and stared at her, probably trying to see her face as her cloak fluttered behind her slightly.

"And what gives you that idea?" The man asked.

"Oh, let's see..." Karma pretended to think. "Oh yeah, that's right, he's my responsiblilty. As long as you're going after him, I'm going too. No ifs, ands or buts about it." She crossed her arms and leaned onto one leg. Since nobody could see her face, she used body language instead to prove her points. The man sighed and nodded,

"Fine." Karma smirked slightly and jumped down next to him.

"I'm Karma, by the way. Karma Dume." Karma introduced, "And what's your name?"

"Kanan." The man, Kanan, replied after a slight pause. Karma smiled slightly,

"Well, Kanan, it's nice to meet you."

Karma stood on the ramp of the Ghost, the ship Kanan and his friends flew, beside Kanan as Ezra turned. A TIE fighter had been about to kill Ezra until the Ghost shot it.

"You want a ride?" Kanan smirked.

"Come on, Ezra!" Karma encouraged, leaning on Kanan's shoulder as if they were best friends. Kanan gave her a weird look but remained silent. Ezra stared up at the two and the incoming TIE fighters.

"Kid, you have a better option?" Kanan asked, his face showing his worry. "Come on!" Ezra ran over to the crate and grabbed it.

"Leave the crate! You'll never make it!" Karma and Kanan cried in unison, Karma stepping away from Kanan as her worry increased. Ezra was her responsibilty and she couldn't let him die. Ezra ran towards the ship as the TIE fighters began to fire and jumped, the crate in his hands. He barely made it, but he made it.

"Whoa." Kanan whispered as the ramp rose and Karma helped the 14 year old thief up. Once Ezra was on the ramp, the three pushed the crate in and the Ghost took off.

As the ship flew, Karma, Kanan, the Lasat, who Karma now knew to be named Zeb, and the girl, whose name was Sabine, stood looking at Ezra. Kanan, Zeb and Sabine were glaring at him while Karma's lips were turned down in disappointment. Zeb began to open the crate, revealing them to be holding blasters. Ezra walked up to the crate, saying,

"Oh, do you have any idea how much these are worth on the black market?"

"I do, actually." Kanan stated.

"Don't get any ideas." Zeb growled.

"They're mine." Ezra argued, holding up a blaster.

"If you hadn't gotten in our way-" Zeb started, grabbing the blaster from the thief.

"Too bad, I got to them first." Ezra said, getting in Zeb's face.

"It's not who's first, it's who's last." Kanan said, pushing the two apart. Ezra glared at the Lasat as Kanan walked towards a ladder and said, "Keep an eye on our friend here." Karma looked around and found a nice corner to sit in. As she moved to sit, she turned back to the three remaining and warned,

"Ezra, behave."

"Come on, Karm, you're not my mom." Ezra argued. Karma stared straight at Ezra as Sabine and Zeb looked between the two. Karma's face didn't change but it was obvious she intimidated Ezra enough that he muttered an agreement.

"Good." She whispered before she made her way to the corner, sat down and closed her eyes. She easily found peace and began to meditate, something she did whenever she calm.

Karma was snapped out of her meditation by the shaking of the ship. Her eyes opened and she stood up only to find Zeb on top of Ezra. She giggled quietly as Ezra grunted,

"Get off. Can't breath."

"I'm not that heavy in this gravity." Zeb said before he got off Ezra.

"Not the weight." Ezra grunted as he stood, "Ugh, the smell."

"You don't like the air quality in here, eh?" Zeb said, "Fine, I'll give you your own room." He grabbed Ezra by the ankle and dragged him to a closet and shut the door.

"How do you deal with him?" Sabine asked the older girl.

"I was taught to be patient at a very young age." Karma explained as she sat down in a seat and adjusted her hood so it wouldn't fall off. "Besides, I've practically raised that kid." She added with a smirk.

"Zeb, Sabine, where's the kid?" Kanan asked over the intercom.

"Calm down, chief." Zeb said as the ship rocked and the girls walked over to stand beside him. "He's in...ugh, here." As he spoke, Zeb opened the closet only to find it empty. The three looked up to see the vent open.

"Sith spit." Karma cursed, "I never should've taught him that."

"Zeb, Sabine, Karma, where is he?" Kanan asked, having heard Karma's voice obviously.

"Well, he is still in the ship." Zeb said. They could then hear Ezra's movements.

"Oh, he's in the ship, alright." Sabine commented. Karma was covering her face with her plams.

"This is my fault, I taught him this." She muttered.

"Karma, follow me." Sabine said. Karma removed her palms and followed the younger girl to one of the guns. There, the two found none other than Ezra. Sabine grabbed him and pulled him out of the chair before she took off her helmet, revealing her blue and orange hair and orange eyes. Ezra stared at her as she hung up her helmet and sat down.

"My name's Ezra, what's yours?" Ezra asked. Just then, Zeb walked in and grabbed the thief.

"My name's Zeb, you loth rat." He growled into the now nervous looking Ezra's face.

"Ezra, I told you to behave." Karma said as she stepped forward and crossed her arms. She shook her head in disappointment and said, "Zeb, you take care of him."

"Calculations complete but we need an opening." Hera, the pilot, said over the intercom. Karma walked over and stood beside Sabine as she cried,

"Found one!" Sabine fired at a TIE fighter and got the Ghost the opening it needed.

"Entering hyperspace!" Hera said and a second later they did. As the stars began to streak, Karma smiled.

"I've missed this." She whispered so quietly, nobody could hear her.

Karma entered the cockpit ahead of Zeb, who was dragging Ezra with him.

"Let go, you can't keep me here! Take me back to Lothal!" Ezra demanded as Zeb released him. Karma sighed and brought up a hand to rub at her eyes. She never did enjoy when Ezra got like this.

"Calm down, that's exactly what we're doing." Hera said, stopping Zeb from making a retort.

"Wait, right now!? With Imperials chasing us!?" Ezra cried.

"We lost the TIEs when we jumped and the Ghost can scramble its signiture so they won't recognize us when we return." Hera explained.

"Aw, that's pretty cool." Ezra admitted. "So just drop off me, Karma and my blasters outside Captial City and-"

"They're not your blasters." Sabine said as she and Kanan entered the cockpit.

"And we're not going back to Captial City." Kanan added, "The job's not done." The ship returned to Lothal and landed in a field. While Ezra, Karma, Zeb and Sabine went in one direction, Hera and Kanan headed in another.

"Hey, where are they going?" Ezra asked.

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you." Zeb whispered, "Oh, and I might just kill you."

"Grab a crate, pull your weight." Sabine said as she, Zeb and Karma, already pushing crates, headed down. As she passed Ezra, Karma whispered,

"Now you get to see where I disappear to every day."

As the four walked through the town, Ezra said,

"Lived on Lothal my whole life, never been here."

"The Imperials don't advertise it." Sabine stated.

"Locals call it Tarkintown." Zeb explained.

"Named for Grand Moff Tarkin, governor of the Outer Rim." Karma added, "He kicked these folks off their farm when the Empire wanted their land."

"Anybody who tried to fight back got arrested." Zeb said, "For treason."

"Who wants free grub?" Zeb asked as the two Ghost crew members, the mysteriously hooded girl and the thief stood in front of the open crates. People slowly came over and began to thank them for the food. Some of them even recognized Karma from her various trips there. She just smiled softly and gave them the food they needed.

"You come here often?" Sabine asked after a while.

"Whenever Ezra and I get some food, I always take some extra for the people here or I help out the merchants Ezra leaves and tell them to help those who need the food more than me." Karma explained, looking down at the ground with the same soft smile on her lips. Helping people was one of her favorite things to do in the whole galaxy and it was something she tried to do every day. Sabine smiled at the girl and said,

"That's pretty nice of you." Karma smiled back at the girl.

"Thanks."

After a while, Karma noticed Ezra was missing and made her way back to the ship. She peeked around a corner and found Ezra walking down, towards her, while Hera looked at him, a droid beside her. Karma noticed Ezra was holding something in his hand. She focused on seeing it and her unseen eyes widened when she recognized it.

A holocron...She thought. Just then, she heard Kanan say,

"Now we'll see..." Karma waited until the two and the droid had left before she stepped out from behind the corner. She made her way to a closet and sat down inside it. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her own holocron. Taking a deep breath, the girl closed her eyes and reached into the Force. Behind her closed eyes, she could almost see the holocron splitting and the message began to play with a hologram of Obi-Wan Kenobi appearing.

"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi." The hologram said, "I regret to inform both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: Trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed and our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must perservere, and in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always." The hologram then disappeared. Karma opened her eyes only for a single tear to slip out, as one always did. Ever since she received the holocron, she listened to the message when she was in need of hope or advice and she always let a tear slip in honor of the lost Jedi. She wiped the tear away and whispered,

"I will help these people. For the Jedi...and for my family."

As Karma stepped out of the closet, the droid went racing by. Concerned it had something to do with Ezra, which it probably did, she ran after the droid all the way to the common room. She entered to find Ezra on the floor and everyone staring at him. She crossed her arms and asked,

"Ezra, what did you do?"

"Nothing, Karm." Ezra protested. Zeb growled and asked,

"Can we please get rid of him?" As the Lasat walked forward, Sabine and Kanan stopped him, Sabine protesting,

"No, we can't." Ezra began to smile until Sabine added, "The kid knows too much."

"We don't have time to take him home, anyway. We have to move now." Hera said as she helped Ezra up and led him and Karma to the cockpit. "Karma and I will keep an eye on him." Karma nodded in agreement and followed the pilot up the ladder.

"You know, this whole mission thing is nuts." Ezra commented as the three sat in the cockpit, Hera in the pilot seat, Ezra next to her and Karma behind him. "I'm not against sticking it to the Empire but there's no way I'd stick my neck out this far. Who does that?"

"We do." Hera answered honestly. Ezra was silent after that and Karma continued in her own silence, something Ezra was used to after years of knowing her. The Ghost came out of hyperspace and approached the ship they were directed to.

"Imperial transport 651," Hera said, "this is Starbird coming inbound."

"State your business." A man's voice requested.

"Bounty." Hera explained, "We've captured an additional Wookie prisonor and have transfer orders to place him with you."

"We have no such orders." The man said. The ship deployed TIE fighters.

"That's fine." Hera said calmly, "We already got paid by Governor Tarkin. If you don't want to oversize monong, I'll jettison here, let you explain to your superiors why the Empire has one less slave." There was silence on the other end until the man finally said,

"Permission to dock. Bay 1." Hera smiled while Ezra looked away and Karma gave the pilot a thumbs up and a smile of her own.

"No troopers." Kanan said through his comm, "Security's soft." The transmission was suddenly overcome with static.

"Spectre 1, come in." Hera said, growing concerned. "Spectre 4? Spectre 5? Ahh, comm's down. No, not down. Jammed."

"Something's coming." Ezra whispered. Karma stood up, concern growing on her hidden face. The three looked up as a Star Destroyer came out of hyperspace.

"Oh no..." Karma whispered.

"That's an Imperial Star Destroyer!" Hera said.

"This whole thing was a set-up!" Ezra cried.

"It's beginning to look that way." Hera agreed. Karma clenched her fists.

"I should've seen this coming." She muttered.

"Don't blame yourself, Karma." Hera said, "There's no way any of us could have known." Karma shook her head and looked down.

"But I could've..." She muttered. Hera turned to Ezra and said,

"You need to board the transport and warn them."

"What? Why don't you do it?" Ezra asked.

"I need to be ready to take off or none of us stands a chance." Hera explained.

"Karm?" Ezra asked. Karma shook her head.

"I need to pay closer attention to everything so we can avoid something like this again." She said vaguely, "You have to go, Ezra."

"No, no way." Ezra protested, "Why would I risk my life for a bunch of strangers?"

"Because Kanan risked his for you!" Hera argued, "If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life means nothing! They need you, Ezra, they need you right now." Ezra looked down, silent. Karma placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and he looked up at her.

"Remember what I've always told you?" She said, "Put others before yourself, or you'll be as terrible as the Imperials." Just then, the Star Destroyed moved above the Ghost.

"Listen, our crew boarded that transport to selflessly rescue Imperial prisoners." Hera continued, "They have no idea they've walked into a trap, no idea what's coming. You need to go warn them Ezra."

"No." Ezra shook his head. "It's too late for them, Hera. We should run now while-"

"You don't mean that." Both women said in unison.

"I do, I swear I do." Ezra said, "...Which is why I can't believe I'm doing this." As he said the last sentence, he got up and ran out of the ship.

"I can." Hera smiled.

"Me too." Karma added as she took the seat Ezra had abandoned. Both women turned and stared as the Star Destroyer was right in line with them. Karma took a deep breath and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she saw the crew of the Ghost plus her and Ezra fighting Imperials with the Wookies behind them. The scene played out until the group was kneeling behind crates when Karma was taken out of the vision. She cried out as the droid pushed her onto the ground. As she fell, she grabbed her hood in order to keep it on and glared at the droid.

"Chopper!" Hera scolded before saying, "There, airlock shut. We're out of here! Chop, jam their tracter beam!" As Chopper left, Hera asked, "You alright, Karma?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Karma said as she stood and dusted herself off.

"Attention rebel ship, surrender or be destroyed." The man said over the comm, "This is your first and last warning."

"Blow it out your exhaust vent." Hera said, "Literally. Sabine?" A second later, Karma heard an explosion and smiled slightly.

"Ugh, I can't see it from here. How'd it look?" Sabine asked.

"Goregous, Sabine. As always." Karma could hear the smile in Kanan's voice as he said that. Hera activated hyperspace and they were gone. The pilot sighed in relief as the rest of the crew entered the cockpit and sat down. Karma ended up leaning againt the wall.

"The whole thing was a set-up." Kanan said as they entered.

"You think Vizago was in on it?" Sabine asked.

"He'd sell his mother to Jawas for a couple credits." Hera said, "But we're a source of income for him. Even odds, he didn't know." There was silence as Zeb entered and sat down until Hera commented, "The kid did alright."

"He did okay." Kanan corrected before he turned to Zeb and asked, "Where is he?"

"I, uh, thought he was with you." Zeb stated lamely.

"Zeb, what did you do to him?" Sabine asked as Karma felt her panic rising.

"I didn't do anything to him." Zeb protested, "But that I.S.B. agent grabbed him."

"What!?" All four cried in unison, Karma's voice louder and full of more concern then the others.

"The kid got grabbed, okay?" Zeb tried to reason.

"Garazeb Orrelios!" Hera cried angrily.

"How could you do this!?" Karma cried, feeling her anger rise.

"Oh, come on." Zeb said, "We were dumping him after the mission anyway. This saves us fuel. They'll go easy on him. He's just a kid." While the three crew members of the ship were silent, Karma was practically shaking with anger.

"That doesn't matter!" She cried, "For all we know, he could be being tortured right now! I should've gone with him, I should've done something! He's gonna die because of you, Zeb!" Zeb looked down guiltley. Karma was still shaking with anger and the crew could see the tears that were falling from her eyes slip off her chin and touch the floor of the Ghost.

"Karma, calm down." Kanan said. Karma then heard a voice she hadn't heard in a long time repeat words she still remembered clearly.

"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to the darkside." Karma closed her eyes and released her anger into the Force, slowly calming down to her usual attitude.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, looking down like a child who had been scolded. "I'm just...scared for Ezra. He's like a younger brother to me and...I'm scared to think of what could happen to him." Sabine stood up and hugged the older girl in an attempt to comfort her. Karma smiled her thanks as Sabine pulled away. Karma returned to leaning against the wall.

After a while, Hera suggested they go save Ezra which led to Zeb protesting,

"No. No, no. No way! You cannot be serious!"

"It's our fault he was there." Hera argued.

"Come on, Hera!" Zeb cried, "We just met this kid, we're not going back for him!"

"They'll be waiting for us." Sabine agreed sadly, "We can't save him. I'm sorry Karma." The group was silent as Chopper let out some beeps. Karma smiled slightly when she heard what he said.

"What? What did he say?" Zeb cried.

"He voted with me." Hera smirked, "That's two against two and since Karma isn't allowed to count, Kanan, you have the deciding vote." Kanan looked at all of them.

"Please, Kanan." Karma begged, something she never did.

"Alright." Kanan agreed, "We'll save him."

When the Ghost landed, Kanan, Sabine, Karma and Zeb ran out while Hera stayed on the ramp.

"Find Ezra, I'll be ready." Hera said as they split up. Sabine stopped to spray paint on the floor quickly before joining the other three.

"Hold this bay until we get back." Kanan instructed Zeb.

"And this time, try not to leave until everyone's back aboard!" Sabine quipped.

"That was not my fault!" Zeb cried.

"Well, that's debatable." Two voices said in unison. One was Karma and the other was the boy who dropped from the ceiling wearing a Storm Trooper helmet. Zeb punched him and he fell back, landing at the trio behind him's feet. He stood up and took off the helmet, revealing himself to be Ezra.

"First you ditch me, then you hit me!?" Ezra cried angrily.

"How was I supposed to know it was you?" Zeb cried, "You were wearing a bucket!"

"You know, as much as I'd love to continue this argument, we've got company in a few seconds." Karma said and sure enough, Storm Troopers and that agent were right behind them. Ezra threw the helmet at the agent as the four others ran back.

"Spectre 1 to Ghost, we're leaving!" Kanan cried into his comm.

"Come on, Ezra!" Karma cried as she held her blaster in front of her and shot at some of the Storm Troopers. Though she wasn't a big believer in violence, she knew this was necessary and didn't complain. All the members of the group were firing, even Ezra tried to help on the ramp but Zeb grabbed him and cried,

"Oh no! This time, you board first!" He then pulled the boy into the ship.

"Ghost, raise the ramp!" Kanan cried as he and Karma backed up while still returning fire. Hera did so and the ship began to rise. Kanan smiled and nodded at a smirking Sabine who activated her detonaters.

"Good job!" Karma smiled at Sabine. Sabine returned the smile, already feeling like the mysteriously hooded girl was going to be a good friend for her. Karma looked around but she noticed Ezra wasn't to be seen. She moved to the cockpit and just before she entered, she heard Hera say,

"Your parents must be worried sick."

"I don't have parents. Just Karma." Ezra admitted. Karma frowned and as she entered, gave Ezra a pat on the shoulder. "And you've got somewhere else to be." Ezra added when Kanan and Sabine entered along with Chopper. After a brief pause, Ezra continued, "I know where they're really taking the Wookies. Have you heard of the spice mines of Kessel?" Karma froze as did everyone else in the cockpit, excluding Ezra and Chopper, of course. Sabine explained first, saying,

"Slaves sent there last a few months, maybe a year."

"And for Wookies, born in the forest, it's a death sentence." Hera added.

"The worst one, at that." Karma finished sadly.

"Then I guess we better go save them." Ezra smiled. Everyone in the cockpit turned to the thief.

"'We'?" Sabine asked.

"Come this far, might as well finish the job." Ezra reasoned.

"Setting course for Kessel." Hera stated. Karma smiled and placed a hand on Ezra's shoulder like a proud parent. Ezra smiled up at her. The moments when Karma smiled at him like that were some of his favorite moments in life.

When the Ghost, reached closer to Kessel, Zeb, Ezra, Sabine, Kanan and Karma stood on the ramp waiting to leave. As they began to land, Sabine and Kanan led the way with Karma in the middle and Zeb and Ezra behind her. Once the ramp opened, the five ran out and crouched behind the crates. When Kanan nodded, Ezra began to move behind the crates on the side towards the Wookies. Meanwhile, Sabine and Karma teamed up and fired at the Storm Troopers while Zeb and Kanan paired up and did the same. Eventually, Ezra got all the Wookies free and they began to help the rebels. Once the Storm Troopers were taken care of, Ezra came forward from behind the Wookies and smiled proudly as the other four smiled as well when thye suddenly heard TIE Fighters.

"Why am I not surprised?" Karma sighed as she saw the ships began to attack the Ghost, forcing Hera to take to the skies. Chopper, who was manning the guns, hit a TIE and it fell only for a Walker to come up instead. "Okay, that's bad!" She cried as it fired at the group, forcing them to jump out of the way. By some miracle, Karma's hood was still on. They all looked up as a ship landed and opened to reveal the agent and a bunch of Storm Troopers.

"Take them down!" The agent cried and the Storm Troopers charged. The rebels and the Wookies began to fight back but were forced to retreat behind the crates. Once they were all together, Kanan ordered into the comm,

"Go! Lead the TIEs away and give yourself maneuvering room!"

"I am not leaving you behind!" Hera refused. Karma looked up and saw the cargo container.

"Kanan!" She whispered and pointed at it. Kanan got her idea and told Hera,

"No you're not! We're running a 22 pickup!"

"Seriously?" Sabine asked.

"Do you have a better option?" Kanan retorted.

"Jump into the pit and get it over with?" Zeb said.

"Alright, I'll be back." Hera said, "Make sure you're ready."

"22 pickup? Care to let me in on the secret?" Ezra asked. Karma, however, had a pretty good idea of what was coming. Something she had been waiting for since she met up with Kanan. Her hand moved to her hood slowly and subtley so nobody would notice.

"Kid, I'm about to let everyone in on the secret." Kanan said and with that, he stood up and walked into the field. He dodged the blasts easily until the onslaught ceased. He then took out the two parts of his lightsaber and put them together. He activated it and his icy blue blade came out.

"Whoa..." Ezra whispered as everyone stared in awe. Before anything else could be said, Karma, too, stood. "Karm, what're you doing?" Ezra asked. Karma turned to him and answered,

"Showing everyone who I truly am." With that said, the cloaked girl stepped out from behind the crates and walked to stand beside Kanan. As she stopped beside him, she reached up and, for the first time in years, removed her hood. Deep black hair fell down to her waist with a small braid near the left side of her face and a thick light purple streak near the right side. Kanan's eyes widened slightly as Karma's eyes opened, revealing their forest green color.

"No..." Kanan whispered as Karma held her right hand in front of her and a lightsaber flew out of her right boot and into her outstreched hand. She activated the weapon and a light purple blade, the same color as her streak, came out. She held the lightsaber in a stance similar to Kanan and smirked at him, her forest green eyes twinkling.

"Just like old times, eh...Caleb?" She whispered so only he could hear her.

"Sabrina..." Kanan whispered.

"We'll talk later." Karma promised and turned back to the agent and Storm Troopers. Kanan nodded and followed her lead.

"Storm Troopers, focus your fire on...on the Jedi." The agent ordered and the onslaught returned. But the two Jedi wielded their lightsabers expertly, returning every shot fired at them with ease.

"Time to go!" The two cried in unison.

"Right." Zeb agreed before yelling, "Everyone! Into the container!" The Wookies did so but Karma could hear the tortured cries of a Wookie, as if someone was left behind. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ezra running and smiled.

Go Ezra. Go. She thought.

"Kid, stop!" Zeb cried and muttered something else Karma couldn't hear.

"Zeb, Hera's incoming!" Kanan cried.

"Get in, you furballs, now!" Zeb cried and the Wookies complied. "Kanan, I think you inspired the kid to, well, do something you would do." Karma smiled,

"That's Ezra for you. He's got a good heart under that tough, loner exterior." Once the Wookies were loaded in, the rest of the rebels entered and Hera came to get them.

"Magnetic seal locked." She reported.

"I hate this part." Zeb muttered as they were picked up.

Kanan and Karma stood on the Ghost as they flew over to Ezra.

"I don't know where you get your delusions, bucket head." Ezra said, "I work alone."

"Not this time." The two said in unison as the ship flew up, revealing them with their lightsabers activated and Karma's cloak flying in the breeze. The agent fired on them but Kanan easily reflected one bolt, knocking the guy off the bridge.

"Jump kid!" Kanan cried.

"Come on, Ezra!" Karma added as Ezra and the Wookie with him jumped, landing on the ship.

As the Ghost flew, Karma, Kanan, Ezra and the Wookie, whose name Karma learned was Kitwarr, entered where the rest of the crew and Wookies were. When one Wookie in particular saw Kitwarr, they grinned. Kitwarr jumped up and ran up to the Wookie and they embraced tightly. Karma smiled, tears of joy pouring down her cheeks. They did this. They brought a family and a species back together, safe and sound.

As the rebels and Wookies prepared to say goodbye, the Wookie Wullffwarro said something that Sabine translated,

"Um, he says if we ever need help, the Wookies will be there." Wullffwarro stepped forward and messed up Ezra's hair before he smiled at Karma, who smiled back, having met the Wookie when she helped with the Battle of Kashyyk.

"Good luck, Kitwarr. Try to stay out of trouble." Ezra smiled. The Wookies smiled and waved goodbye.

"Huh, look who's talking." Zeb remarked.

"So, I guess you drop Karm and I off next?" Ezra asked. After he closed the door, Zeb turned and answered,

"Uh, yeah. Finally, right?"

"Right." Ezra stated as he turned his back on the rebels and walked up the stairs. The rebels followed sadly, each walking past Ezra, who was leaning against a ladder, silently. As the ship rocked, Ezra ran into Kanan, who was walking behind Karma. "Oh, uh, sorry." Ezra apologized.

"Karma..." Kanan said as he followed her. Karma turned, her hair following her. "Can we talk?" Kanan asked. Karma smiled,

"Sure." Kanan led the girl to his room. Once they entered and the door was closed, Karma asked, "So what did you want to talk about?"

"You know what I want to talk about, Sabrina." Kanan stated, using her real name. "Or rather, what you want to talk about." Karma smiled sadly,

"You know me too well, Caleb." She reached into her pocket and pulled out her holocron, showing it to her fellow Jedi. "I was with Master Yoda that night, so I was saved." She explained, "My life was saved, but...it wasn't complete. You broke off our friendship the day before the order was given, Caleb. And the next day, when I needed you the most, I couldn't find you anywhere. I searched for you for a while but I never found you. Then, I met Ezra after his parents...and I had a vision. I saw Ezra, older, and meeting you. So, I decided to take care of him. I've been waiting this whole time just to find you again and to ask you one thing: Why did you push me away?" Kanan was silent, looking down at the ground. "Caleb, please. I have to know." Karma begged, sitting beside the rebel leader. Kanan looked into her eyes and just like 14 years ago, he gave in when he saw the twinkle in her eyes, something only she had. He sighed and looked down again.

"Rina..." He said, using her nickname that only he used. "All those years ago, I broke our friendship because...I was scared. I was scared of what would happen to us, what if I lost you or if I started hating you? I knew those feelings would lead me to the dark side and I knew what would happen if everyone else found out about us. We both would have been kicked out of the Order and I knew that was your dream. I couldn't do that to you. So I figured it'd be easier to let you go."

"But it was so much more painful, Caleb!" Karma cried, "You cut off our friendship the day before I left for Kashyyk, the day before Order 66 was given. I couldn't focus on that mission and Master Yoda noticed instantly. When we returned to the Temple and met up with Master Obi-Wan, they practically ordered me to flee with my holocron in hand with Obi-Wan's message. Ever since then, I've been trying to find you to fill the hole in my heart. When I found Ezra, he helped fill it a little but it wasn't the same. I need you in my life, Caleb, whether we're friends or something more, I just need you." Kanan stared into Karma's eyes before he pulled her into a hug. Karma buried her face into Kanan's chest and held onto him tightly. They stayed there for the rest of the trip to drop off Ezra and Karma, just enjoying the company neither had had in 14 years.

Karma stood in the field near the tower she and Ezra called their home with Hera and Kanan, having said her goodbyes with Zeb and Sabine already, though Sabine cared more than Zeb did. Karma's hood was down and she was standing in her special meditation stance, her right hand up with her fingers facing vertically and slightly bent, her feet spread apart, her left hand down and her eyes closed. You could practically see the Force, tinted with her unique light green Force ability, swirling around her. She only opened her eyes and stepped out of her stance when Ezra came out.

"I think you have something that belongs to me." Kanan stated, his arms crossed. Ezra took the holocron out of his pocket and threw it at the former Jedi. Kanan caught it easily. Ezra adjusted his backpack and said,

"Good luck saving the galaxy." He began to run off. Karma smiled at Kanan and Hera before she ran after the boy, her lightsaber bouncing against her hip comfortably.

Once the duo reached the tower, Ezra opened the door and revealed their humble home, filled with souvenirs Ezra had taken from Storm Troopers. The boy took out the lightsaber he had taken and while she liked to have scolded him, Karma remained silent, sensing a familiar presence behind them. Obviously, Ezra did too because he asked,

"What's the Force?"

"The Force is everywhere. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." Kanan, who had followed the two, answered. "And it's strong with you, Ezra."

"Very strong." Karma agreed, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Otherwise, you'd never have been able to open the holocron."

"So, what do you want?" Ezra asked, turning to face Kanan.

"To offer you a choice." Kanan said, "You can keep the lightsaber you stole, let it become just another dusty souvenir. Or you can give it back and come with us, come with me, and be trained in the ways of the Force. You can learn what it truly means to be a Jedi."

"I thought the Empire wiped out all the Jedi." Ezra stated.

"Not all of us." Kanan and Karma replied in unison, Karma stepping between them and tapping her own lightsaber to further prove the point. Ezra looked from the two Jedi to the Ghost to the ground, thinking but Karma already knew his decision.

Karma smiled as the door opened to reveal Kanan as she stood beside Ezra. Ezra walked forward and Kanan stood up. The two met in the middle, Karma standing between them. Ezra gave Kanan back his lightsaber and Kanan placed a hand on the new Padawan's shoulder. Karma smiled at the new Master and Padawan before she put a hand on each of their shoulder. The Master, the Padawan and the Connection, three of the seven members of the Ghost, rebels standing up to the Empire..

We're gonna kick the Empire's butt! Karma thought with a smile.
