My hands move through the crate as I take out each piece of armor and the three guns. I place them on table nearby and begin to exam each piece of armor. They all shine with the lights as they reflect off the newly forged armor showing the purity of the Baskar used to construct each piece. My eyes move from the armor to the three guns. Each is a work of technological art, the assault rifle doubles the size of one of the pistols, As well as two small pistols.
As I am looking at each piece the doors open to reveal 3 people including Ezra, a Twi'lek, and a tall human. My eyes study them before moving down toward the half lightsaber on his hip. Kannan's notices my interest and raises his eyebrows before his attention moves toward the armor and guns on my table. His jaw drops to the floor.
"The hell did you get all that?" His question is laced with absolute shock.
"Well, when you stole those blasters, it got the guards away from a certain transport that was taking this. and thanks to that it made it easier for me to steal all of this." My smirk is large as I motion toward the large imperial symbol on the side of the crate. both Kannan and Hera nod at my answer and move to sit on one of the random chairs scattered around the room, while Ezra walks away and starts packing some essentials. "So, is this the entire umm ghost crew if I remember from Ezra correctly?"
"No there are two more and a droid. The droid is waiting on the ship while the other two should be on their way up as not all of us could fit inside of the small lift. My name is Hera, and this is Kannan, he will be Ezra's Jedi master, the others are Zeb and Sabine." At Hera's words Ezra flinches which confuses both Kannan and Hera. My head turns to Ezra with an angry expression on my face which just confuses the two even more.
"Care to explain little brother? what is this about becoming a jedi apprentice." My voice is laced with rage and anger at him not telling me this. Ezra flinches and timidly turns back to me as I sit with my arms crossed looking directly at him.
"Well turns out I have the abilities of a jedi so I can become one. Sorry I didn't tell you it slipped my mind." His voice is timid and filled with sorrow at not telling me.
"It is all good just please tell me next time as it was a shock." He nods at my answer as the door to the elevator reopens to reveal a large ape like persona and a small girl in a Mandalorian armor. "Good evening you must be Zeb and Sabine."
"Yep. quick question but where did you get the Mandalorian armor, it looks brand new, but it has no insignia?" Sabine is the first to speak with a somewhat accusing tone. My only answer is to tap on the crate with the sigil of the empire on the side and smile as she sees the sigil and realization dawns on her face. "Don't worry I didn't take it from one of your own and I don't think the empire did either as this looks like it was just recently manufactured in a refinery." I wear a soft smile on my face as I look at her relieved expression on her face as she starts to look for a spot to sit before, I motion to the top bunk. She nods at my offer and jumps up to sit down on the bunk. My eyes move to Zeb who is now leaning on the wall with a weird expression on his face as if he is analyzing me to see how hard I would be to kill. "Mhmm you are an interesting one." My statement shocks him as he realizes I was analyzing him as he was doing the same to me. "Now you all good with me joining my brother and joining you lot of merry soldiers fighting against the empire?"
"Yes, you can join if wish." Hera's voice is soothing and calming like you would think a mother's voice would be.
"Where would I sleep?" My question is only a half question as I already have a feeling I know where I will be sleeping.
"If you are to join you will be sleeping in Sabine's room as she has a spare bunk while Ezra will be sleeping in Zeb's room. Is that all good with you?" From her words I can see how much she cares for her crew as she tried to give me and Ezra rooms to allow for the best possible privacy by putting us with someone of a similar gender. My eyes move toward Sabine who has her helmet off and is also looking down and at me.
"Yeah, that is all good with me as long as it is good with you Sabine?" My eyes remain fixed on Sabine as she simply nods at my question. "Cool so when do we leave?"
"Now! This place smells like the kid!" Zeb's voice is filled with some disdain but also a lot of amusement. My eyes turn to him, and he shivers slightly as he looks at me.
"I am fine with a bit of jabs here and there, but this was our home for the last couple years as we survived on the street don't insult our only home after everything okay?" Kannan just sighs while I continue to stare at Zeb who nods his head up and down after realizing what kind of mistake he made. After that we talk for a while explaining everything about ourselves while me and Ezra pack the few belongings, we have into a bag each and close the crate of armor. After we are done packing, we move out of the abandoned communication tower and down to their ship with me and Ezra giving the tower a once over one last time as a final goodbye to go on our new adventure. Ezra walks into the ship quickly while i take my time while hauling the crate of armor and weapons into the ship. I stop as I see Sabine move to my side to air in my attempt to move the crate inside causing me to smile softly at her as we both push it into the cargo hold.
"So, where is our room Mando" I say in a teasing voice while looking down at her from my taller point of view. This simply makes Sabine smirk as she motions for me to follow her up the ladder which leads to the cockpit. We then walk through the door and into a corridor with two rooms on each side of the hallway. The first door on the left is open and as I look in, I see Ezra unpacking while arguing with Zeb who is asleep on his bed. I smile as I follow Sabine to the second room on the right. As she opens the door and walk in I am stopped in my tracks as I see a room with the walls and roof covered in spray painted artwork.
"You are an amazing artist" My words are filled with nothing but astonishment as I walk in and place my bag next to the bunk beds. This makes Sabine blush slightly as she places her helmet on the draws on the left side of the room.
"Thank you. You can have the top bunk I am already using the bottom one." I simply nod and jump while using my spider powers to stick my right hand to the roof and swing into the top bunk shocking Sabine while I just smirk down at, he while I sit on the side of the bed and take my shoes off put them in the draw under the bed. Sabine simply moves past my feet and lays down in her bed which only makes my smirk grow as I turn and lay on the bed and just pass out asleep after a very long day.
