Different But The Same

Chapter 4

The next morning soon arrived and everyone was up by nine O clock; the crew met up in the mess hall, grabbed some breakfast and ate up. Both Kanan and Ezra were once again summoned to the Council room. "We're going to do a midi-chlorian count to see how strong with the force Ezra is exactly" Master Jinn explained earning two nods "it was clear yesterday that he's really strong in the force" that was something they could all agree on. A medical droid entered the room and approached the teen Padawan who stepped back with wide eyes; Kanan realized what the problem was "wait!!" he exclaimed as turned to the boy. "Ezra...Ezra, look at me" he held the teens head in his hands as they stared at one another "it's not an interrogation droid Ezra...it's not going to harm you" he promised - this really alarmed the Jedi Council who all stared in worry and concern. Hesitantly, Ezra sent his Master a small nod; Kanan stepped out of the way - keeping one hand resting on the boys shoulder - and allowed the medical droid to continue. The droid approached the boy "please hold out your hand" it ordered politely; which the same amount of hesitance as before, the teen did as told "I am now going to take a pinch of blood from your finger" and it did just that. "You've been a good boy, have a lollipop" the droid offered a red circular lollipop to the ten who just shrugged and took it "thanks" he gave a small smile before popping it in his mouth. Everyone in the room either smiled, smirked or chuckled "are we sure you're thirteen and not a five year old??" Anakin asked, his face holding a strong smirk; the boy shrugged once again "if you get offered food and it's not been poisoned, why wait it??" he had a point...a sad one but a point none the less. 

Once it had the droplet of blood, the medical droid placed it into a small machine before handing the printed results over to Master Windu; everyone watched as his eyes widened from shock - all of the other Master's took a look at the results and showed the same reaction. Ezra didn't know whether to be happy or worried by their reactions. "Whoa...you really are strong with the force kid" Master Jinn stated as he looked up from the piece of paper; Kanan walked over and took a glance at the results before his eyes widened - Ezra was becoming more and more concerned by the second "nineteen thousand, three hundred and ninety nine!!" he exclaimed "you're stronger then me kid!!". They were all indeed shocked by what they had just discovered but something suddenly hit Ezra like a ton of bricks "...that's why Vader's after me...isn't it??" he asked; only Kanan understood what the boy was talking about "...yeah kid". The council shared a look of confusion "wait a minute, who's after Ezra??" Master Depa asked with a raised brow; her once Padawan explained "in our world, Master Skywalker turned to the dark side and is now known as Darth Vader" he had explained that part yesterday "...he's after Ezra because of how strong with the force he is and wishes to make him his apprentice". Other things began to be discussed - the main thing was the young boys training "we were thinking - if it is okay with both of you" Master Plo began, followed by Master Kenobi "we'd like to help Ezra with his Jedi training whilst you are here". It sounded like an excellent idea and the two agreed, although they had to explain to Ezra that Kanan would stay was his Master.
