My feet land on the floor as I stand to get of the second-floor bed. I look around as memories flood into my mind. Memories of me and Ezra surviving throughout the 8yrs since our parents capture by the empire. Those first year was the hardest we had to scavenge and live on the street for the first year before we found the empty comms tower to live in.
Once we found the empty tower, we spent months rebuilding it into a working home. The next couple years were spent stealing from both normal people and the empire. We had many good and bad times. we stole from all together, annoyed the hell out of the empire at times as well. We have had many meals together with the rare instance of meat but mostly just fruits.
As I finish my flashback on how my new life has been lived. I look around one final time and see a note on the makeshift fridge that I made.
"Dear Alex
Hey sorry about not being there when you woke but I need to go out and scavenge some food. Should be back before tonight so hold tight and we will have a nice dinner tonight.
From Ezra"
(At the bottom of the note there is a sloppy drawing of him smiling)
I smile as I finish reading the note and when I see the crude drawing of him, I start laughing at its absurdity. I walk out into the open air and look out at my new home, Lothal. it looks worse than the show displayed it to be. But it still had its beauty when you ignore the disgusting black imperial side of the city.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!"
A resounding boom from an explosion on the outskirts of the city. As I turn my head in that direction, I see a Tie fighter shooting at the ground and trying to hit something or someone. then out of nowhere a large cargo ship flies in from the clouds and blows up the Tie and flies low as if attempting to pick someone up. Thats when the ships familiarity finally hits me, and I understand what is happening. that is the ghost and from that battle, it means that Ezra has gone with the ghost crew and will soon save the Wookie's and decide whether to join the ghost crew or not.
My smile grows as I walk back inside the tower and look around remembering everything. I raise my hand and look the inconceivably small hole on my wrist. My smirk grows as I aim at the wall and press my 3rd and 4th fingers down. The moment my fingers press down onto my hand a white web shoots out and attaches to the wall. My hand pulls and the web stays strong. With a smirk on my face, I release the web and aim at the roof, with the press of my fingers on my pall a new web is released attaching to the roof. My arm pulls me off the ground as the web holds strong with me hanging from the roof of the tower.
I lower myself from the air back to the ground. I then begin to swing my arms and legs around in a practiced motion that I have gained from the memories and experiences of Gwen Stacy also known as spider women. My movements are practiced and mastered skills. My smirk grows as I feel the skills and increased strength gained from the assimilation. My eyes move to the fridge in the corner of the room, my hand moves to the handle as I open it to see an empty box with nothing but dust being stored within. I sigh as I remember the situation me and Ezra are in with the limited funds and resources.
My feet move from the fridge to the elevator in the center of the room which creeks open at my approach. I move in and hit the bottom floor button; the doors get close to completely closing before creaking to a Hult. I groan and slam my hand onto the door causing it to wirr before closing and being to lower me down. When the doors reopen to a massive field of reeds with a city sitting in the distance. I wear a soft smile as I begin the long walk to the city.
2 hours later
My feet land on the roof of a building as I look down at the packed marketplace. My eyes move from the civilians to the many stormtroopers patrolling the area. I smirk as I grab a piece of fruit using my webs and move back in the shadows as the seller looks around confused wondering whether what he saw was correct or not. I take a bite, and I am surprised by how sweet the large purple fruit is. My hand moves and I use my webs to steal a imperials comm unit, causing him to look around frantically trying to figure out where his comm went causing his anger to grow and my smirk to grow with it.
As I am walking away a transmission comes over the comms "the shipment of improved blasters was lost but the rest the special shipment is still on schedule, though the protection detail has been diminished due to the chase of the thieves." My smirk grows ever larger as I realize I have the chance to make some money and annoy the hell out of the empire. My feet move fast and efficiently as I maneuver through the roofs of Lothal before landing on one above three speeders with one have a crate attached. My smirk grows as I look at the three weak stormtroopers guarding the single crate.
My feet move quietly as I land in the shadows behind the transport. Within a moment my hand moves and shoots a web knocking one out and trapping him on the wall, the second I punch in the gut causing him to groan and fall to the floor the third is shocked for a moment before raising his blaster. But he is too late as my fist connects with his head. I smirk and whip my hands against each other satisfied with my actions. I look at the bike with the crate before sitting down on it and activating it causing it to speed off through the streets as I weave in and out of every nook and cranny of the city before speeding out of the city.
5 minutes later
after five minutes of driving, I stop next to a mountain over an hour speeder ride from any settlement let alone the tower. I stand and move under the speeder and move my hands through the wire before landing on the tracker and ripping it out by force. I stand and sigh as I look at the sky and realize just how vast the new world I have entered is. My legs move back to the seat of the speeder as I sit and speed off towards the comms tower.
1.5 hours later
The speeder pulls up next to the tower. I open the main door and pull the speeder into the tower with the crate attached. I stand and Dis attach the crate from the speeder and move it into the elevator and move back to the top floor also my room. I set the crate down in the middle of the room before opening and gasping. Inside the crate is a set of Mandalorian armor made of Baskar as well as a Mandalorian assault rifle and two pistols. I smile as I begin to examine the armor, As I am looking at it the elevator reopens, and I turn to see Ezra opening the door and stepping through with a conflicted look on his face.
"Hey Ez you doing well? How was your day?" My words are half there half not as most of my attention is focused on the contents of the box. Ezra looks up and stares at me and a soft smile form on his face.
"It was good, I think. What do you have there?" His eyes move from me to the crate in front of me.
"Hahahah well you know how you stole those expensive blasters." My words caused a shock look to form on his face as he realizes I know what he did "And yes I know don't worry I am not entirely mad." His face softens as he calms back down. "Now back to the crate, well while you were stealing that I stole this little thing while I was out today, also thanks for the help drawing the guards away." I smirk at him before looking down at the lightsaber held in his hand. "Ooh what you got there?"
"A choice. While I was out today, I encountered a group of... well rebels who are fighting the empire, I helped them, and they gave me... well us an offer to join them." His eyes move back to the lightsaber in his hand "This is the ticket to join or not. We either return it and join or keep it." A soft smile forms on my face as I look at his conflicted expression.
"Well did they invite me as well?"
"Yeah, they did" His voice is happy when he says that.
"Do you want to join?" My question is serious as I look up from the crate to his eyes.
"Yes, I do" His answer is resolute and laced with determination.
"Go accept then invite them over and I can decide whether or not I want to join. Is that okay with you?" My question and offer are soft and assuring making sure to give him as much support as possible.
"Are you sure?" He is shocked by my willingness.
"Yes. I know how good of a judge of character you are. Now off you go I will be waiting right here for you." My soft smile causes him to beam and start thanking me before running off to the elevator and setting it to go down. I laugh at his reaction just proving how much of a kid he is on the inside.
