A/N I've got nothing to say but ENJOY! XD

"Phew! That was a close one," Rex sighed in relief the moment he saw the beams of hyperspace.

"Too close," Selena groaned as Chopper beeped our from the bottom gun to look at the new arrivals.

"WUP, WUP!" He seemed to cheer when he realized that it was Ashoka and Rex, clapping his metal hands. "WUP-WUP-WUP! WUP!"

"You know them?" Selena raised an eyebrow at the droid.

"WUP WUP-WUP WUP WUP-WUP-WUP WUP-WUP, WUP-WUP-WUP WUP WUP WUP-WUP WUP." Chopper replied in series of droid words. "WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP, WUP-WUP WUP. WUP WUP WUP WUP."

"Ah, okay," Selena turned to the group with a nod. "So you're Ashoka Tano, Commander of the Rebel Fleet, and you're her clone friend Captain Rex?"

"Yes," Ashoka smiled in reply. "And you are…?"

Selena grinned and removed her helmet, revealing her brownish-red short hair and golden brown eyes. "Selena, Selena Mista Krai-Wren, daughter of Moreena Krai and Sabine Wren. At your service,"

"Daughter Of Sabine Wren?" Rex gave a snicker. "That's why you seem crazy in exploding things,"

"Speaking of exploding," Selena took out a button and held it up. "I haven't made the 'miracles' in the ship blow up yet. I'll have to ask Specter 7 when I can press the button. For now, though, you have to follow me,"

"Of course, Selena," Ashoka let the half-Mando and the droid pass her then the three of them followed her into the common room, where they found Zelda sitting on the metal couch, her helmet no where to be found as her eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"Zel? You okay?" Selena asked, sliding beside the younger girl.

"I'm fine," Zelda quietly answered. "It's Elvis I'm worried about,"

"How IS Eli doing?"

"Not so good," Zelda whimpered as she began to hug herself. "Ron said that the blue guy threw him through a metal door,"

"Wait, the guy THREW him THROUGH a metal door?!" Selena was in disbelief.

"That 'guy' you are speaking of is Grand Admiral Thrawn," Kallus chose to speak up to the hybrids. "And throwing your friend through a metal door is only the minimum amount of torture he has. He had killed multitudes of Rebel Cells before, in any climate and in any planet. You are one of the lucky ones to survive his wrath,"

"How reassuring, Kallus," Zelda rolled her eyes. "I'm still surprised that, above everyone in this entire Outer Rim, YOU are Fulcrum,"

"It's almost as if it's hard to believe," the group turned to see Heron, his aqua eyes stern as he held his stormtrooper helmet under his arms, but he didn't acknowledge it much and merely dropped it on the floor. "which it is,"

The tension rose quickly in the room as the door slid to close. Selena sighed, shaking her head before standing up and clearing her throat.

"Ahem, I think proper introductions is a necessity," she said loud enough for them to get their attention. "Commander Ashoka Tano Of the Rebel Fleet, Captain Rex from the Clone Wars, and Agent Kallus, a.k.a Fulcrum, this is our leader and captain, Specter 7 or Heron Kam Syndulla-Jarrus, son of Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus. The girl beside me is Specter 9 or Garazelda Errica Bridger-Orrelios, daughter of Ezra Bridger and Garazeb Orrelios. Our injured crew-mate, on the other hand, is Specter 10 or Elvis Giorno Bridger-Orrelios, son of Ezra Bridger and Garazeb Orrelios, and Zelda's younger twin brother,"

"Thank you, Selena." Heron glared at her, knowing that she gave them the introduction not because she wanted to clear things out, but because she wanted to say his middle name aloud, which he wasn't really proud of. "That was CLEARLY not necessary, but thank you, anyway,"

"Daughter of Zeb and the kid?" Rex's eyes widened. "How?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," Ashoka let out a small smile. "I felt through the Force that Ezra had feelings for Zeb,"

"Hard to believe they had a fling when the Lasat himself ditched Bridger on my first encounter on them," Kallus pointed out.

"And It's hard to believe that you're Fulcrum," Zelda growled. "Same difference,"

"Anyway," Heron sighed, crossing his arms. "I'll be navigating is back to Lothal to pick up our parents, and so we can show them that we saved the three of you from the Empire. While I do that, the girls will lead you to the guest rooms,"

"Oh NO!" Zelda immediately opposed as she stood up and strode towards the cockpit. "Heron, you go check on Eli while I navigate back to Lothal. Sel, you take them to their guest rooms,"

Heron wanted to oppose, but the flash of vendetta in the half-Lasat girl's savage peridot eyes made him cringe, so he just nodded and left. As soon as her two crew-mates were gone, Selena let out a groan.

"How obvious that Zelda hates you as much as her father did, Kallus," she rubbed the side of her head, swishing her hair more to the side as her expression twisted into something unreadable. "Well, since it's going to take us a LONG while to get to Lothal with Zelda on the wheel, I might as well show you three to your temporary rooms,"

"WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP-WUP WUP WUP-WUP-WUP WUP WUP WUP-WUP WUP-WUP." Chopper let out a beep.

"Good idea, Chop," Selena grinned. "Go and help Zelda navigate,"

The droid soon rolled his way back to the cockpit as Selena headed to the hallway, motioning the three to follow her. The new arrivals obliged and walked behind her while she led them towards two rooms.

"Our parents had expanded the Crew's Quarters years ago," she explained to them. "They added four guest rooms to help with any extra passengers whenever we rescued anyone. You'll use these two; Ashoka, you take this one, and, Kallus, Rex, you boys will bunk on the other one,"

"Thank you for the rescue and your hospitality," Ashoka smiled and gave a bow.

"If you need anything, me and Zelda's room is this one while Elvis and Heron's room is that one," Selena said as she pointed to the labeled rooms. "If we aren't there, we're either at the cockpit or the common room. Got it?"

"Loud and clear," Rex replied with a salute.

"That's good," Selena turned away from them. "For now, you guys should get some rest,"

With that, she left. Ashoka, Rex and Kallus exchanged expressions before heading to their rooms to sleep.

"Oh, Elvis…" Heron sighed as he stroked Elvis's now-unbraided hair and held Elvis's broken cadet helmet under his arms while he leaned over towards the half-Lasat male from his chair. "I'm so, so sorry… I let him hurt you and… argh…"

He hissed, taking back his hand as he dropped the helmet. He held and rubbed the hand he took back, an unpleasant tingle running through it like a sharp and electric sensation.

"Damn it…" he let out a groan before he took out his two lightsabers; the Jedi one was a dark grey with a grey cylinder top while the Sith one was a dark purple with a purple cylinder top.

"Heron?"

The half-Twi'lek panicked, quickly hiding both sabers, especially the Sith one, before turning to see Selena walk into the med-bay. She looked concerned as she approached him and Elvis, who was still unconscious, but luckily, he and Zelda already patched up his wounds, and now, all they needed was for him to wake up.

"H-Hey, Sel," Heron looked away, hoping that she only came to check on Elvis.

"Ron,"

Boy, was he wrong.

"Hmm?" He slowly turned back to see her worried face.

"You were shot," she said, pointing at the wound on his shoulder.

"I'm fine." Heron growled, even if he knew that it was hurting him.

"You sure that you don't need a bandage?" Selena grinned as she held out a roll of bandage.

"No, I'm fine. Really," Heron dismissed the issue as quick as it came. "It was only a minor shot,"

"Whatever you say," Selena kept the roll and swiveled around. "I'm going to help Zelda get us back to Lothal,"

"Good luck with that," Heron chuckled.

Selena returned the chuckle as she left, both of them knowing that the half-Lasat girl was TERRIBLE when it came to navigation, ESPECIALLY when she was mad and not herself.

Heron sighed in relief when she left before turning his chair to the wall and ceiling, staring up at it like there was nowhere else to look. Or at least, nowhere pleasant to look.

"Thinking of something deep, Ron?"

Heron jumped at the voice, his eyes widening with surprise. He turned his head to see Elvis, his eyes open and obviously awake, even if they seemed tired.

"Eli?"

"The one, the only and the best," Elvis let out a chuckle, but he soon felt awful when he his throat began to feel scratchy. "Ugh, why does everything hurt so badly…?"

"You got thrown through a door," Heron answered, rolling back to him.

"Right. Damn it." Elvis cursed under his breath. "That Thrawn guy tried to kill me after I kept on calmly insulting Anakin Skywalker,"

Heron cringed at the spoken name before sighing. "Eli…"

"I know, I know, we weren't supposed to expose who Vader was before and during the Clone Wars, but I just couldn't stop my mouth from pointing out the topic," Elvis shrugged, flinching when his shoulders hurt from the movement. "Besides, it was Thrawn's fault. He wanted me to break like Vader did,"

"Or like how I did…" Heron turned away in shame. "Again…"

Elvis immediately sat up, not bothering to care when his muscles and bones ached at the speed of his movement as he grabbed the half-Twi'lek by the shoulders with a tight grip.

"WHAT?!" He roared out, his voice fuming with rage. "YOU USED THE RED SABER?!"

"I… I'm sorry!" Heron felt hot tears by the corners of his eyes as his face fell on his hands. "I… He… Thrawn cornered us! He shot me and was planning to kill us! I… I couldn't let him! You… You were already injured… I couldn't… I just couldn't…"

Elvis growled, but his expression started to soften when the other hybrid broke into tears. He winced, feeling guilty before slowly letting go.

"This is… ugh," he muttered under his breath with a slight hiss. "I know you were trying to protect me, but you shouldn't have wielded a Sith lightsaber like that. Your father would KILL you,"

"I know what Dad will do to me…" Heron wiped the tears, trying his best to stop them from free-falling. "I mean… I'm TRYING to stop… I really am, but…"

"I sometimes wonder why YOU wonder why I don't date you." There it was. The only topic that Heron was sensitive about, and Elvis KNEW it. "You turned your first lightsaber red, for Force sake. You made your first kyber crystal BLEED with the Force. Manipulated all your dark emotions with the Force, and look what it did."

Heron growled loudly. He and Elvis discussed this topic quite often when they were alone in their room. He HATED it when the other pressed on the topic.

"As if I'm the only one who broke his first lightsaber." he snarled.

"I managed to manipulate both light and darkness, Heron." Elvis snickered, taking out the blaster he held out earlier before holding it upright, so the shooting hole of the blaster was pointing up. "so instead of red, my first kyber crystal managed to turn into a more BALANCED color,"

He pressed a button on the back of the blaster, and out came a purple glow of a lightsaber. Heron glared at him before he took out a dark aqua lightsaber with an aqua cylinder top and threw it to him.

"I don't want to discuss this further, Giorno." He stood up and turned to take his leave.

"Nor do I, Kam." Elvis deactivated and kept both of his lightsabers, grinning when the other flinched at the spoken middle name and ignoring the fact that HIS middle name was spoken. "but one day, we'll have no choice BUT to discuss it."

"Not now." Heron snapped.

"I know," Elvis's voice softened as he slowly stood up. "For now, I want to meet the newcomers,"

The half-Twi'lek let out a sigh, feeling guilty since the half-Lasat male was basically giving up on the argument so easily, yet he simply nodded and opened the door. Elvis smiled and walked past him, but not without making a comment that blew Heron off into shock, surprise and disbelief.

"I don't date you because… I don't trust myself with you."

With that, he left to the common room, leaving a frozen Heron with millions of questions in his head.

"Zelda,"

"I don't trust him."

Selena, who had been sitting on the chair behind the co-pilot's seat, looked up at the half-Lasat girl in surprise. "Kallus?"

"Who else?" Zelda sighed. "I mean, Kallus was there in the Massacre of Lasan! He basically ordered it! Father said that Kallus wasn't even sorry for what happened,"

"He says he's changed," Selena trued to reason out.

"But for what reason? To find Lira San and make the Lasats extinct permanently?!"

"You're not hearing him out," Selena shook her head.

"Why do I need to?" Zelda folded her arms.

"Because you need to know both sides of the story before sharing the tale to others," Selena sighed. "Look, you have no idea how Kallus developed a hatred for Lasats and how and/or why he turned into Fulcrum, but we won't know by not trusting him,"

"We'll wait for a crew vote," Zelda huffed with a frown. "I'll bring out the topic, and we'll see what we'll do,"

"Fair enough," Selena chuckled, knowing she couldn't do ANYTHING else to change the girl's mind. "So… any need help on navigation now or…?"

"Yes, I need help. Now."

Selena grinned and stood up. "Alright then,"

Time passed, and the Ghost was still in hyperspace.

Ashoka woke up from her nap, refreshed and well-rested. She did a few stretches before getting up and heading out of her room. She knocked on the door of the room across him, and the door slid open to reveal a yawning Rex.

"Good… I have no idea. Is it morning or afternoon yet?" Rex attempted a greeting, but he ended up questioning it, scratching the back of his head.

"I don't know either," Ashoka replied with the same tone of unsureness. "but what I do know is that we have not eaten since we left for the mission,"

"Yeah, I'm starving too," Rex then turned to his roommate, who was on the top bunk and was currently letting out a yawn while stretching. "How 'bout you, Alex? Hungry?"

"I believe I am," Kallus went down from his bunk and yawned again. "I have not eaten since before I woke up from the nap that I had before this one, and I have no idea when was that,"

"We'll head to the common room to ask for food," Ashoka said. "Come on now,"

The males nodded and followed behind as she led them through and out of the hallway. They went to a door, and it slid open to see the four sitting down on the huge chair behind the round table, playing a round of UnoFlip. Again.

"I say… Red 7!" Zelda slapped the card on the deck.

"Alright then, sis," Elvis grinned and placed a Redo-Your-Turn card then placed a Reverse card. "Back to you,"

"No, no, little brother," Zelda places down another Reverse card. "Back to you,"

"No, sister-dearest, back to you,"

"Oh no, no, no, my dear brother. You play,"

"Ugh," Selena groaned. "Let. Us. Play."

"They're getting rid of their Reverse Cards," Heron whispered to the half-Mando. "Let them be. That's what I'd do anyway,"

"Fine, fine," Elvis took a card from his bundle. "I'll take the turn. Uno!"

He set the card down, revealing a Plus 2 Card. Heron smirked.

"Going to you, Sel!" He set another Plus 2 Card on the table.

"Very funny, boys," Selena growled with an irritated smile on her face as she took four cards from the deck. "Alright, Zelda. Your turn,"

"PLUS 1!" Zelda slapped the card onto the pile. "Uno!"

"Okay, I win," Elvis placed his last card down.

"And I ain't getting that so easily," Heron set down an identical card.

"Nor am I," Selena chuckled, placing down the Plus 1 Card.

"Dammit!" Zelda frowned and took four cards from the deck.

The older two laughed at the half-Lasat girl's predicament. Elvis snickered before turning to notice their guests watching them.

"Oh, you guys are awake,"

This caused the eldest Specters to stop the game and turn their attentions to the three arrivals. Ashoka came forward.

"Yes, we are," she said. "And you must be Elvis, yes?"

"Zelda's younger twin and the son of Ezra and Zeb, yes," Elvis gave a nod. "Ashoka, Rex and Kallus, Yes? Though for Kallus, it's… VERY obvious…"

Kallus didn't react to that. Instead, he avoided eye contact as Rex went beside Ashoka.

"You guys have some food?" the clone asked.

"We do have a couple of ration bars on stock," Heron replied as he turned to face them then he stood up. "BUT FIRST, we need to know that we can trust you,"

"How do we do that?" Ashoka folded her arms.

"You need to act trustworthy, duh," Selena shrugged.

"WUP WUP WUP WUP-WUP-WUP, WUP-WUP WUP." Chopper beeped, annoyed as he entered the common room. "WUP, WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP-WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP WUP-WUP-WUP."

"Alright, alright, cool it, Chop," Heron patted the droid's head with a smug grin then he looked back up. "All in favor of trusting Ashoka, raise your hand,"

Almost immediately, all of the Specters raised their hands. Heron raised his hand too and smiled when everyone agreed with him.

"Okay, all in favor of trusting Rex, raise your hand,"

Chopper raised his metal hand excitedly whilst Zelda and Selena raised their hands up after. Elvis stared at Rex for a while, trying to think of what he should do before he slowly raised his hand. By then, Heron was the only one not raising his hand, but neither Rex nor Ashoka acknowledged it, knowing that they were face-to-face with Kanan's son.

"That's 4 out of 5 votes, but majority wins, so…" Heron groaned. "Let's move on then. How about trusting Agent Kallus?"

Selena and Chopper raised their hands in a snap, along with Heron. Zelda kept her hands in her pockets, turning her head to huff. Elvis chuckled and shook his head.

"You know well enough the answer," he said with a tone of sass.

"3 out of 5. Majority still wins," Heron swished his bangs to the side with a small grin. "Sel, get them three ration packs from the fridge,"

"On it, boss," Selena soon dashed off to the kitchen.

"I'll be in my room then, if anyone needs me," Zelda stood up and went past the three, purposely but innocently bumping Kallus's shoulder before heading into the Crew's Quarters.

"Same here," Elvis got up and stretched then he swiveled up past them to leave.

"Just wait here for Selena to give you the food, m'kay?" Heron turned around. "If you need anything… I'll just be at the cockpit,"

"Alright, Heron," Ashoka nodded. "And thank you,"

"Your welcome," With that, he left.
