Chapter 5: Rise of Old Masters

The Ghost hovers in the clouds as Ezra was doing a handstand on the turret as Mako was sitting on the side in Indian, meditating. Chopper, Zeb, and Leo were there as well. "Focus, focus on letting go." Kadan instructs Ezra and Mako, "Letting go? Rather holding on." Ezra tells him as he was trying to do it on one hand, "Enough jokes." Kadan tells him. "I'm trying," Ezra tells him.

"Do or do not, there is no try." Kadan tells them and Mako opens one eye, "Do you even know what that means?" she asks him. "How can we do something, if you don't try to do it?" Ezra asks him. "Well, see, it's..." Kadan tries to explain it, but Mako smirks at him, "You don't know, do you?" she asks him as she relaxes. He nods, "Yeah that one always confused me, but Master Yoda sure said it a lot. Your father was able to get it." he said, pointing at Mako. She stood upturn, flips off the side and did a handstand on one hand. "Wait a minute you know, don't you?" he questions her, she just looks at him and flips back on her feet. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she tells him.

Then Zeb yawns as he stretches and stood up, "I thought this Jedi stuff would be more interesting." he states and slaps Leo's leg, waking him up. Leo shot up, "What did I miss?" he asks him, the two look at him and he yawns and stretches. "No wonder the old religion died." Zeb states as Leo stood up. Chopper agrees with him, "Come on kid, do something, amuse me!" Zeb begs him. "Use the force," Zeb said, moving the turret and knocks Ezra's balance right off and he falls into an open crate. Everyone looks down at Ezra and Mako makes her way down to him. Zeb, Chopper, and Leo just laugh. Kadan makes his way down as well as Mako helps Ezra out of the crate, "Do they have to be here?" Ezra questions him. "They're annoying, but there will always distraction, you need to focus through them," Kadan tells him.

Making Mako sigh at that, "Here let's try something else." Kadan took out his lightsaber, putting it together and gave it to Ezra. He takes it and looks at it, "When do we get our own?" he asks him, then Kadan places his hand on Ezra's shoulder, "Having a laser sword doesn't make you a Jedi." Kadan tells him and looks at Mako, "Sorry I don't have a spear, Mako." he tells her, she nods at him and pulls out one of the cylinders she kept with her and she offers it to him, Kadan looks at it with amazement, "This is... Master Orion's saber or at least one of them." he tells her and looks at Mako, "It's right to belong to family." he tells her, giving the saber back to her, she took it and held it with confusion.

"Here, let me help," he tells her, standing behind her, making her hold the saber in her hands. "Press this button here." he intrusts, Mako looks down at the button and activates her saber, making a neon blue light shot out, making a hum. Mako looks at it with wonder as she fell back into Kadan's chest, he chuckles at her, his places his hands on her shoulders. "You got it?" he asks her, she nods as she was smiling at the blade, "The adjuster is on the side," he informs her, she nods at him and shortens the blade. Then Ezra activates his, Kadan ducks as Mako defects the blade with hers, pointing it up.

"Careful Ezra!" Mako tells him, then Kadan stood up, "Nice reaction." he compliments Mako, she smiles at him. Ezra rolls his eyes, "The adjuster is on the side of the saber." Kadan informs him and Ezra shorten the blade. "I think it needs to be a little shorter." Zeb jokes Leo and Chopper laugh at that joke. The two glared at him and then walk over to the edge as Kadan walks over to them, "Okay, close your eyes." Kadan orders, the two did so and they were ready. "Let them have it Chopper, Leo!!" Kadan tells them and the two started to threw cartons at them, Ezra kept getting hit as Mako was slicing through them. "Be precise, kept the blade... up." Kadan tells Ezra as he kept getting hit. Zeb laughs, "That's it, kid, use your body to slow down the junk!" Zeb shouts, handing Chopper another one.

"You're not... focusing... Ezra." Kadan tells him and sighs. Mako cuts through the last one and opens her eyes and steps to the side, flinching everytime Ezra got hit, but then they overdid it and Ezra went over the side, dropping the saber, "Kid!!" Zeb shouts. Kadan and Mako ran over, seeing Ezra slip, then Kadan offers his hand to Ezra but he slips off the nose turret. "Ezra!!!" Mako calls out and then thrust her hand down, making Ezra stop in mid-air and makes him slowly float up. Kadan helps her out as Hera lowers the ship and opens the ramp as Zeb and Leo were there and Zeb reaches out for Ezra, who reaches out to him. "Zeb..." Kadan tells him as he was slipping, "I... I can't..." Mako struggles, but then she exhales, letting go as she went to fall, Kadan lets go as well, catching her from falling. Then Ezra drops and Zeb and Leo catches him. "Got him!" Zeb calls out. Then they pull him in as Kadan held an exhausted Mako in his arms, he lowers her to the floor and checks on her as she was leaning against him.
