In the Morning

Zeb: (Yawns) Get up kid. We got a mee-

Zeb looks at the top bunk to see Ezra missing.

Zeb: (Shrugs) Must already be up. Wait a second...

Zeb looks back at the top to see his blankets folded neatly

Zeb runs to the kitchen to see a Holocron and his lightsaber on the table

Zeb: KANAN! HERA! REX! THE KID'S MISSING!!!!

All except Zeb: (Wakes up and runs to the Kitchen: WHAT?!

The crew got to an uproar then Kanan stopped when he sensed the Holocron

Kanan: STOP!

Everyone froze

Kanan: (Uses the force to open Holocron)

The message playing

This is Ezra Bridger. Guys if you're hearing this, don't try looking for me. I'm long gone. I need for you guys to be safe. I had this vision and I ran away so you would be safe. I've left my lightsaber so put somewhere safe. I've taken the Phantom 2 and set course for who knows what. There is a world out there for me, but I can't be apart of your crew anymore. Goodbye, you guys. May the force be with you.

Message ends

The whole crew looked down sad and terrified

Rex: We should let him be. 

Hera: WHAT?!

Kanan: Rex is right. He wants to be alone. Let him be.

Zeb: I agree with Kanan. I'll miss the kid, but this is his life.

Hera: But-

Rex: I'll contact Commander Dodonna and tell him what happened. (Leaves)

Hera: Where's Chopper?

Zeb: (Looks out in the hallway) Found him. Must've seen the kid and he shut him down. 

Chopper: (Turns back on) Where is the kid?

Zeb: Gone.

Chopper: (Shocks Zeb) Hahaha! (Rolls away)

Zeb: Get back here you rust bucket!

Kanan: I'll put his lightsaber on his bed as well as the Holocron. (Leaves)

Hera: I guess I'll go to Sabine and tell her what happened.

At Krownest

Sabine: WHAT?! He just leaves like that!?

Hera: I know it's hard but-

Sabine: But he knows Lothal better than any of us! What is going to happen to us? We'll probably lose!

Hera: Sabine. Have faith. We're going to have a briefing with Commander Dodonna and your mother. Attendance is mandatory. (Leaves)

Sabine: (Groans) I wish he didn't leave.

Hera: (Looks back) I wish that too Sabine. But he has his own life as well.

Sabine: Guess so. See you later.

Hera: (Smirks) You like him, didn't you?

Sabine: (Blushes)

Hera: Ha! See you.

Sabine: (Sighs) Guess gotta get used to this now...
