Chapter 35

A/N. Let's. Do this.

…..

'He's coming.'

'He's coming'.

'He is coming'.

That is was both Jedi had said, right before turning pale, falling to the ground, not being able to form words as they fell, looking whiter than the walls of the star destroyer that was their prison, even without the cell.

"Kanan?" Spoke Sabine, nudging him, but it looked as if he could not make words, as he held his head, as if trying to…block something out-someone? "Kanan? Kanan! Ahsoka?" She called, met with no response.

Zeb stood from where he bent over Ahsoka, shaking his head the slightest bit. "Karabast, she's as cold as ice."

"So is Kanan." Confirmed Hera.

"Hold up a second.." Wolf trailed off, as he walked towards the unconscious Padawan on the floor, his face seemingly even more pale than normal, if even possible. He placed a hand on him. "Kids freezing, too." He said, looking to the rest. "So we have three frozen Jedi and a 'he's coming.' Any guesses?"

"Sith Lord." Hissed Kanan, from the ground, as Zeb rushed over as he helped the Jedi off the ground. "The Sith Lord we encountered- he's coming. He must have been blocking his force signature since we got on the ship! How stupid, I should have felt it!"

"Kanan, no one is blaming you." Said Hera, looking like she was going to say more, but was interrupted by Rex and Chopper coming from around the corner from where they had been scouting.

"Perimeter is secure, for now anyway," said Rex, as he and Chopper returned. "Whoa, what happened? Commander Tano-!" Said Rex, Hera interrupting him.

"-Is fine." She clarified, as the Jedi stirred in her sleep, looking as if she would be about to come out of it.

"Wait, why hasn't she woken yet? Kanan's awake, why is it hitting Ahsoka harder?" Asked Sabine.

"Perhaps a previous attachment?" Pondered Kanan, leaning agent the wall, recovering from the shock.

"Impossible." Stated Rex, "there's no way commander Tano could have any relation to that- thing." He spat.

Kanan looked at him, annoyance and fatigue lining his face, "are you saying you think it's ridiculous to even consider the fact that someone on you chain of command might be with the Empire." He said in response.

All the clones gritted their teeth at the remark, it looked as if Rex was too, going to share some unkind words at the Jedi, but stopped himself at Ahsoka's sudden words.

"Rex, stand down." Her voice called, distinct and small, but strong. She stood shakily agents the wall, retracting her light sabers form her belt. "You need to leave. This is both mine and Kanan's fight."

"If you think we're leaving you, commander, than you must have hit the ground harder than I thought, with all due respect." Said Rex, the rest of the crew right behind him.

"That was not a request." Ahsoka said.

"Kanan, would you tell her were not-" said Sabine, but was cut off my Kanan's determined words.

"She's right." He interrupted.

"What!" Said Zeb.

"You Jedi," said Wolf, "always playing hero. Can't you see this is suicided?!"

"Maybe," said Kanan, "but it's also our only hope. He's coming. We are just pieces in his game. We will stay back, you seven go to the least populated docking bay, clear it, and try to get in contact with Key an Ajia on the Rebellion."

"Seven?" Asked Hera.

"Ezra stays with us. He is most likely coming to finish the job, we put him with you then it's endangering all of you and him. We will meet up with you once we've thrown him off of our trail."

"Kanan." Said Hera, her voice just louder than a whisper.

"Just do it." He said, the rest if the crew giving solum nods.

The rest of the crew begun to go off, Zeb firmly squeezing Kanan's shoulder, nodding to Ahsoka, and giving one last look to Ezra, before shoving off with the others. Ahsoka was by Ezra's side, checking his pulse and fixing his lesser injures with her limited knowledge of force healing she had learned before the Order had gone down. Her focus's were elsewhere so she did not have to look Rex in the eyes at what Kanan was telling him, though she agreed.

"Rex." Kanan had called to the clone, calling him back.

"Look." He said, "if your just going to threaten me to keep your crew safe, and if I forget what 'side I'm on' then you can just-" he said, but was cut off.

"Leave without us." Kanan interrupted.

"Wait, what?" Said Rex, forgetting his thoughts, eyes wide with shock if what the Jedi had just said.

"If we don't get there in time, if things are getting rough over their, troopers are pouring in, and we're not back in an hour, leave us behind. Do you yo understand?" Kanan asked.

"But..your crew." He said.

"Wouldn't do it. Took them that much convincing just to leave. I need to have your word that you will get them out of there if it gets too rough, even if me, Ahsoka and the kid aren't aboard."

"Look, Kanan, I know we've had our differences..but,"

"Your word, Rex." Said Kanan.

"Didn't think the word of a clone would mean all that much to you." Pondered Rex.

"Yea, well it's the only one I've got." Said Kanan frustratedly.

Rex, lines on stress at the promise visible on his forehead, extend his hand, Kanan excepting it in a heartless shake. "My word." The clone promised.

And with that Rex gave Ahsoka one last look, before following the Ghost crew as few paces behind.

"How is he?" Asked Kanan to Ahsoka.

"Better. Not good, not great, worse than bad, but better. By the looks of his injures he lasted far longer than a few of the Padawans I knew at the temple." She said, sorrow in her words of how weak a Jedi could be.

The two Jedi than stood, drawing their weapons and facing the closed white door, waiting for it to open. The coldness grew, and with that the Jedi knew he was getting closer.

The door began to shake as it begun to slowly raise, and so did the feeling of hate.

'He's coming' seemed like a life time ago, for he was here.
