Rebel Defenders: The Grand Admiral (Book 3 MCU/Star Wars crossover)

Size Matters Not

Ezra slowly got to his feet and realized his comm link was damaged. Ezra looked around as explosions ripped through the labor camp. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the destroyed remains of the Phantom. He realized he was all alone with no means of escape.

"How could all of this have gone so wrong? Kanan I need you. Where are you?" Ezra lamented

"Spectre 1 and Spectre 2 thank the Force you got here so quickly. Have you seen the Phantom anywhere? Spectre 6 should be on it?" Sabine said through the Ghost's communications system

"No we haven't seen the Phantom anywhere. But we'll search for Spectre 6 and aide his escape." Hera replied

"Ezra's not with them?" Kanan asked aloud

"He's at Camp Lehigh." Hera said confidently

"We need to hurry." Kanan said

She piloted the Ghost towards the fireballs of explosions and as Hera piloted the airship closer it started to shake violently.

"I'm going to try to get as close as I can Kanan."

Kanan nodded and said aloud, "Ezra I'm here. Tap into the Force and you'll know."

"There I see him." Hera called out

"I'll go get Ezra." Kanan replied

Kanan raced to the back of the Ghost and opened the door. He leaned outside of the airship and reached out towards Ezra with his right hand while holding the airship with his left.

"Ezra reach out your hand! I got you!" Kanan called out

"I can't. You're too far away!" Ezra replied gripping a nearby pole tightly

"Ezra you need to let go. Trust me!" Kanan pleaded

Ezra looked up and saw that the Ghost was still 10 feet away and the platform he was standing on had weak support.

"Ezra just let go. I will grab you." Kanan called out again

Ezra let go and jumped with all his might and he managed to reach out and grab Kanan's hand. When Hera saw Kanan pull Ezra into the airship and close the door Hera pulled up the Ghost and turned around to escape.

"Governor Pryce do you have an update for me on the battle taking place right now." Grand Admiral Thrawn said via Holonet Projector

Admiral Konstantine and Agent Kallus stood with Governor Pryce assessing the battle from the bridge of Konstantine's Star Destroyer the Relentless.

"The battle is proceeding as you predicted with the Rebel Fleet arriving to save the Spectres. Only three starcruisers supported by a couple dozen starfighters." Governor Pryce reported

"That is not the Rebel fleet. At least not in its entirety. Tell our forces to break off their attack and allow the Rebels to escape with their meager prize." Thrawn ordered

"Very well Grand Admiral." Governor Pryce said

The Imperial forces disengaged allowing the Rebel forces to escape by jumping to hyperspace. Admiral Konstantine gritted his teeth in frustration while Agent Kallus's face remained neutral.

Joy stared at the photo of herself at age 10 with a twelve year old Danny at a Rand Enterprises gala. It was odd that her dad and Danny's parents forced the two of them to go to such an event at a young age. It made sense for Ward to be there. He was 16 years old and was being mentored by her father and Danny's to possibly run the company one day. Joy wondered if this was a ploy to set herself and Danny up as a future couple. Joy loved playing games with Danny more than she did kids at her school so it made sense for her dad and Danny's parents to do this.
