Kanan and Ezra were running from stormtroopers. They were sent to get intel and while they got it, it involved blowing up an entire Empire ship. So you can guess why.

"Get behind those crates!" Kanan yelled and Ezra had to go across away from Kanan, so he was pinned down alone.

Kanan panicked when the stromtroopers were going after Ezra. Kanan's lightsaber buzzed to life and started to draw their attention. Kanan blasted their shots away and yelled at Ezra, "Get over here! Its not safe there!"

Ezra readied himself and dashed so fast, it was like you couldn't see him. He used the force, Kanan thought and smiled proud. Ezra grinned also and deflected shots. They fought side by side and soon the troopers were gone.

Kanan deactivated his lightsaber and faced Ezra. "Lets go son. We have to go," Kanan said and they started running.

Kanan could see Zeb running towards then and suddenly a shot rang out and everything stopped.

Kanan froze and slowly turned around to see Ezra hunched over with his hand on his ribs, and then looked to see Kanan.

Fear was on his face, he looked down at his palm and then looked back at Kanan. He then dropped to the floor.

---------------------
Few minuets ago:

Ezra started to run after Kanan but he was a little behind. Zeb was running towards them but Ezra sensed something, he then heard a blaster, he remembered Kanan facing him.

He remembered holding his hand and blood was on it. He remembered everything getting blurry then blacking out.

-----------------

Kanan saw Ezra drop and heard someone running behind him but he didn't care. Troopers were coming out but Kanan focused on the one trooper who shot Ezra....who shot his son.

Kanan felt rage and wanted to have revenge. He almost did but remembered Ezra and he wasn't like that.

Kanan ran to Ezra and deflected the shots. He heard heavy footsteps behind him and sensed Zeb. "Grab him and we have to run quick!" Kanan shouted and Zeb had rage at the troopers but grabbed Ezra bridal style.

"Follow me!" Zeb yelled and Kanan used the force to throw crates at the troopers and ran after Zeb.

Kanan was thinking of everything. He felt Ezra drifting and pushed away tears. "We have to hurry, Ezra's drifting." Kanan said and looked behind to see no more troopers. He sighed and just tried to stay strong. He could feel Ezra clinging on to life and panicked.

Kanan sensed danger and quickly shoved Zeb to the side. A shot rang by them and saw troopers coming at them. "Take Ezra and I'll hold them off!" Zeb said and handed Ezra to Kanan who was trembling with fear of losing his son.

Kanan nodded at Zeb and took off while Zeb fought with rage and power. Kanan ran down the streets and saw blood all over his shirt and Ezra. "Stay with me Ezra, stay with me. Please." Kanan begged to his son and still sensed him clinging. Kanan ran passed everything and everyone.

Kanan had to stop and hid behind buildings in an alley. "Can anyone hear me?" Kanan asked into his comm and heard static. Kanan let out a frustrated groan and tucked his comm away. He grabbed Ezra firmly and let out a shakey breath. He looked around and felt a cold breeze come by.

He shuddered and ran down the bare streets and tried to find Hera.

---------------

Kanan couldn't find help, Zeb or Hera. The comms weren't working and Ezra was getting cold. Kanan had set them down in an abandon building and locked the door. Kanan crouched down by Ezra amd held him in his lap.

Kanan let tears run down and stroked Ezra's face. "Don't leave Ezra. Hang on longer, just hold on....please son." Kanan whispered the last part and cried into his sons hair. "D-Dad.." Ezra rasped out and Kanan jerked a little.

"Ezra! Hang on ok?" Kanan said and Ezra struggled up and Kanan helped him. "K-Kanan, promise me...t-that you won't blame yourself.." Ezra struggled to say and gasped a breath. Kanan squeezed his eyes shut and sucked in a breath.

"Your not leaving, I'm going to make sure." Kanan said but knew it wasn't happening. Ezra forced a bloody grin and said, "We both know t-that I'm not maki-ing it...don't worry Dad, I-I'll see you in the f-force...won't I?"

Kanan felt more tears pooling down and couldn't say anything. Ezra gripped Kanan's hand and held it to his heart. "Ezra, please please don't say this. Just hold on, just hold on." Kanan begged and cried and Ezra just smiled.

"Tell everyone, that I-I love em....I love you Dad.." Ezra said to him amd everything stopped. Nothing moved, nothing came by. No sound just the jagged breathing of Ezra and blood slowly coming out of his side.

Kanan felt himself slowly breaking apart. "I love you too...my son." Kanan said and this was their last goodbye as father and son.

Ezra gasped loudly and Kanan freaked out. "What Ezra? What's wrong?" Kanan asked frantically. Ezra let a happy laugh and whispered, "Its time.." Kanan panicked amd clutched Ezra tighter. "Please don't go Ezra. I need you, please son." Kanan cried and Ezra squeezed small on Kanan's hand.

"I love you Dad.." Ezra choked out and Kanan was slowly loosing it. "I love you son." Kanan whispered and Ezra let a high piched breath...then slowly exhaled.

Kanan felt his son go still and no sound or anyone moved. Kanan sobbed and cried and cried and let out pained, raw and tourchered yell. Kanan let his anger, guilt, pain and rage out.

He screamed and screamed, and when his throat and voice hurt....he still kept yelling.

Kanan clutched Ezra's body and sobbed into son's hair. He cried and cried and then when he couldn't cry....he still did.

-----------------

Kanan heard static cracking in his comm. "Kanan? Are you there?" Hera asked and Kanan didn't want to answer. He slowly picked his comm and held it. "I'm here." He rasped out and his throat was hurting badly. "I got Zeb...he told me what happened....is Ezra ok?" Hera asked nervously amd Kanan bit down on his lip and squeezed his eyes shut.

Hera didn't talk for awhile and slowly asked, "Where are you?" Kanan could hear her voice cracking. Kanan gave her his position and put the comm away.

Kanan couldn't look at Ezra's body. He just felt numb, cold and dead. He didn't know how long it was, but he sensed Hera slowly walking up to him. "Kanan, we have to go." She said and he just felt her hands on his shoulders. She pulled up and he slowly did and held on to Ezra.

He let her hold on to his arm and lead him. He ignored everything and sensed sadness from everyone. Hera brought him to the med-bay and asked, "Can you put him down?" Kanan held to Ezra and Hera stepped in front of him.

"Kanan please. I need you to do that for me, please do it for me." She said and he felt nothing. He hugged Ezra's body and kneeled down. He gently put Ezra on the bed and Hera left.

Kanan felt the ship fly away but he just stroked Ezra's hair. "I'm sorry I couldn't save son. I will keep fighting for you, I'll see you someday." Kanan said and bowed his head.

Soon Kanan sensed Chopper and felt him stop next to him. "Chopper, why does everyone I love have to die?" Kanan asked him and Chopper faced him.

Chopper beeped but what he said was, "Kanan, Ezra is....passed because of the empire. This is the battle we choose to fight and Ezra knew what could happened."

Kanan gripped the edge of the bed. "My son is....dead because of those monsters." Kanan growled and Chopper rolled into his side and gave him a Chopper hug. "Ezra wanted me to tell you that he loves you guys..can you tell the crew later?" Kanan asked.

Chopper said he would and Hera came in. Kanan could tell she was crying. "Why don't you go wash up?" She suggested and Kanan just couldn't move. Chopper poked him softly and he got up.

Kanan walked to his room and grabbed fresh clothes. He just shuffled to the fresher and no one disturbed him.

----------------

Kanan was sitting on his bed. His hair was dripping and he pulled it into a loose ponytail. Kanan saw flashes of Ezra when he was smiling. Flashes of him playing tag. Flashes him coming to him when he had a nightmare. Flashes of him talking.

Kanan clutched his head and felt the walls closing in. The room was spinning he was getting dizzy. It was hard to breathe, he was gasping and then he lost it. "STOP!" Kanan yelled and he snapped his head up. He breathed hard and cried. He fell on his back on his bed. He clutched his head and screamed.

No one could hear him because his walls were thickened. He cried himself to sleep.

-----------------

Next week was Ezra's funeral. They were going to bury him at Lothal in the open fields were Ezra belongs. No one had any nice clothes so they had to wear their regular clothing. Hera landed the ship and Kanan was in his room.

Chopper rolled in amd told him they arrived.

-----------------

Ezra was dressed in a new jumpsuit of his and held his lightsaber and Zeb and Kanan carried him on a stretcher. Kanan was numb like always. They were far away and stopped when they reached their sight.

It showed the skies colors, the birds and the huge hills and the golden weeds that went to your calfs....Ezra's favorite spot. They dug the hole and no one said a word.

When it was time, Kanan was fighting the urge to hug his son and yell at everyone. Kanan did kiss Ezra on the forehead and whispered, "I'll see you someday, my boy." Zeb and him lowered his son in the grave and Sabine had to take over for Kanan because he couldn't watch himself bury his son in the ground.

Kanan sniffed and everyone said their goodbyes and said somethings. Kanan was the last and everyone left him to be.

"When I first met you, I thought you were trouble and I was right. You always got yourself into trouble heh...but you were so high spirited amd a thirst to prove yourself and challenge yourself. I knew you were always going to get me in trouble but I didn't care, just as long as you were s-safe." Kanan started choking up and continued.

"When you first called me dad, I was so happy. I wanted to p-protect you from everything....and I failed y-you. You were never a disappointment, you are so strong. I failed you..I failed you..I-I failed you. But know this, you are always my son, my boy and you are just so amazing. I lost my master and now I lost you. My greatest regret would be......not being quick enough but also being alive....if I wasn't here you could be alive....I can't change what happened but I will fight for you. I won't take revenge because that wouldnt be what you want and I wouldn't want. I love you."

Kanan placed his hand on the dirt and cried. He stayed there for a while and then walked back to the ship. He charged to his room and punched the wall.

He paced around and cried.

------------

One year later:

"Congradulations General." Ashoka said. She walked to Kanan's room and leaned against the doorway. Kanan was staring at his wall and said, "Why are you here?" He asked and faced her.

"To check on you and ask a question." She said simply and he just stared with cold, empty eyes like he always does now since.... "Then ask," Kanan said with a dead tone like always.

"Are you leaving? I've sensed it, and I know you want to." She said and stalked forward. He just looked at her with empty eyes and she saw how dead he was and broken. Ever since that happened, Kanan wasn't the same. He would eat alone, he would talk when it was important, he just never did anything.

Ashoka knew that without his.....he wasn't ever going to be the same. "I know since you lost your...padawan-" Ashoka was cut off by him.

"My padawan? M-My padawan?! Are you crazy? I lost way more than a padawan, and he wasn't just my padawan. He was my son, my boy!" Kanan yelled at her and marched in her face. This was only emotion Kanan showed for the first time.

"I'm sorry, but are you leaving?" Ashoka asked him and he froze.

"Its time I did."

------------------

"Goodbye Kanan." Hera said and she hugged him and he just patted her back. Kanan was leaving and he was going back to Lothal. Kanan couldn't take the fighting anymore and he just wasn't himself anymore.

"Goodbye everyone." Kanan said and Chopper wheeled to him amd beeped loudly. "Go with me? I think you should stay here." Kanan said amd Chopper beeped angrlier than ever.

"Hera?" Kanan asked her and she wiped her eyes. "Go ahead, its what you want." She said and they walked down the ramp together. "I'll call you here and there." Hera said and Kanan nodded. "Maybe we'll see each other." Sabine said sadly and he nodded at her. "Tell me anything if something happens or you want back." Hera said and just sighed.

"Goodbye...Caleb." Hera said softly and he gripped his bags strap. "Goodbye everyone." Kanan said and watched the ramp close.

Kanan and Chopper watched the ship they called home fly away and Kanan hopped on his speeder. "Let's get some supplies and build us a place."

-----------------------

It was seven months since he left and he was glad he did. Kanan now has a beard amd called himself Stephen Dume in his last name and Ezra' middle name. Kanan and Chopper made a home three miles from Ezra's......Kanan was walking to it and Chopper trailed behind him.

Kanan stopped at it and kneeled. He placed a headstone and it said:

Here lies Ezra Bridger.

The most bravest, kindest, couragest, strongest boy ever.

He empacted lives and changed a lot of things in this troubled galaxey. He will be always missed.

"Its been rough these days. Empire is being attacked harder so that means Hera and the others are doing well. I talked to them last week, they always say they miss us and actually, I miss them. I thought I could never feel anything besides missing you....I never forget you, you are my son and I'm waiting still to join you." Kanan said and he always did this.

Talked and talked. Chopper would say things also but just listened to the kind words Kanan would say. Kanan cried and Chopper nudged into his side. "I miss him." Kanan cried out and Chopper just nudged deeper.

Kanan knew he wouldn't have his son running to him when he had a nightmare. Not having him talk to you or smile at you. Not having his hugs.

"I love you Ezra...bigger than the sky." Kanan sobbed and got up and slowly walked back to their home. Kanan hugged himself and stumbled into his home.

He sat down on a chair and saw his lightsaber on the table. Kanan practiced more and would train to get his mind off of things.

Chopper wheeled to him and stayed next to him. Kanan gasped for air and slowly breathed in and out.

Kanan was like a robot. He just did everything in a pattern, he wasn't the same and he will never be.

He will never be the same.
