Whilst Hera, Sabine and Chopper stayed in the cockpit, Zeb decided to take a nap in his cabin; Kanan and Anakin were both playing some holochess whilst Ezra was sat in the corner watching them...or he was until his thoughts began to wonder. The teens mind was on what he was about to do, who he was about to see and confront; he had no idea had his face was showing these thoughts threw fear and worry. The two Jedi soon noticed this and paused their game "Ezra" Kanan spoke in an attempt to gain the boys attention; it didn't work and so he did it again. When Kanan received nothing still, he raised his voice slightly "Ezra!!" now that did work; Ezra's head shot up, clearly startled "huh?! Oh...what's up Master??". The two Jedi's shared a concerned glance "are you okay Ez?? You went quiet and...looked a little scared" Anakin asked earning a sigh; the fifteen year old mentally beat himself before standing up and moving seats so that he was nearer his friends. 

"I'm fine, just nervous I guess....the last time I saw Blue Eye - I mean Callum - was when I was six years old after he..." Ezra trailed off as he physically shivered at the memory; this worried the two men dramatically "what did he do kid??" Kanan asked as he reach over and placed a hand on his Padawan's shoulder "he...he gave me the worst beating by far....well that he had given me anyway...he burnt me, cut me, punched and kicked, as well as used his belt as a whip...that one was his favorite punishment to use on me". Of course, eyes were wide from this information as fear, horror, worry and anger filled the two men, especially Kanan "he what?!" he exclaimed "just wait till I get my hands on hims!! He'll wish a Sith had him instead!!" both of his friends were taken back by this sudden out burst "whoa!! Calm yourself Kanan" Anakin instructed "don't let your anger cloud your judgement and control your actions". 

It took five minutes but Kanan managed to calm down "I'm sorry, it's just...how could he do that to you?! A child?! A child of his own flesh and blood!?" he asked as he rubbed his forehead; the teenager shrugged, not really knowing the answer "I don't know...he would just say I deserved what he did to me" he sighed before mumbling "maybe he was right". Before either men could say anything, Hera could be heard through their com links "we'll be arriving in bay twelve in ten minutes so get ready" she stated "and Ezra, Chopper's heading your way, something's wrong with him, can you take a look for me??" the woman asked; the boy grabbed his com from his belt "you got it Hera" As told, the droid rolled in and stopped in front of the kid; Ezra got to work on fixing him - all that needed to be done was a few wires moved and some screws put back in place. As soon as Chopper was as good as new...sort of, Zeb was awoken by a harsh shock which earned many laughs. 

Hera landed the ship in bay twelve and they all left the ship - Chopper stayed with the Ghost as usual of course. "I never thought I would miss Tatooine" Ezra mumbled as they left the ship "you've been here before??" Sabine asked earning a nod "yeah, my parents and I would come here for two weeks once a year when I was younger until the Empire killed them". They entered the city when Zeb spoke up "so...where are we going exactly??" he asked as he looked around the area "he never actually gave us a location...just said you knew" the teenager was leading the way "whenever my parents and I stayed here, we stayed at the same place....we had to be careful due to the broadcasts". They could still hear the slight fear in the child's voice; they all could; Hera took the boys hand but before they could continue walking, the two Jedi stopped them. 

"Are you completely sure you want to do this?? See that...that...man??" Anakin asked as he spat the last word out; the teen sighed as he nodded "I...I have to - no...I need to do this...he might have something important to say and...and maybe if I see and confront him then I...I won't be scared anymore". Kanan placed his hand on his Padawan's slim and small shoulder "if you can't take it or change your mind at any time, tell us and we'll get you away from him and out of there" he reassured "and if he dares to try something, we will be getting you out of there, understood??" it wasn't an actual question but it earned a small smile and nod "yes Master". The group made their way through town until they reached an old and clearly abandoned small building....which had an Imperial mark painted on it. 

"That marks means this place is off limits" Sabine informed as they all looked towards the fifteen year old as he pulled out a key card. "Where'd you get that??" Zeb asked although Kanan knew the answer "this is the place you and your parents would come to for your holiday...before the Empire got them" he stated earning a nod "but how did the Empire find this place??" Anakin asked; it made the kid sigh "Callum had named this place for the Imps to search, in case my parents found out that they were looking for them and had escaped to here". Ezra unlocked the door and hesitantly walked in, followed by his friends; Hera was the last one in so she closed the door so no one would follow them in. 

The place was indeed completely trashed which was a sign of the Empire's hectic search; Ezra was in some kind of trance as he scanned the room, his hand brushing over a wall that had old drawings pinned up on wall and the four lines carved into a door way that were measurements of his height for every year they had visited. The group watched in silence as Ezra's eyes landed on the a stool and made a B-line for it; he knelt down and pushed the stool to reveal...a hidden basement!? "Come on" they all took turns to climb down into the pit of darkness; the youngest crew member felt around the wall before flicking on the lights. A few steps away was a man sat down in a chair; once his eyes landed on the boy, he stood up with a smirk "I wondered when you'd get here Ezra Bridger" they figured this was Blue Eye. 

Ezra rolled his eyes as he folded his arms "what do you want Callum??" he didn't want to be here for longer then needed "what?? No hi Grandpa or hug??" Callum asked making the teen tighten his already forming fist "you lost that title the day you ratted my parents out to the Empire and get them killed!!" he glared daggers at the man "and then everything after that!! Callum just rolled his eyes as if the kid was making a big idea out of nothing "oh please!! I did all of that to protect you, to show you what happens when you mess with the Empire" he stated "I did all of what I did out of love". The people behind the fifteen year old all felt their anger levels rise ever so slowly "you didn't do that out of love! How is beating me a sign of love!? Hitting me, kicking me, burning me, cutting me and whipping me!?" he exclaimed with hurt and anger "how is getting my parents taken away from me and killed any of that bull crap?!" he yelled; Blue Eye was soon angry as he had an extremely short fuse. 

"Watch your mouth boy!! Or else you might just be getting another one of those beatings-" he man was cut off by Kanan "touch him and I'll make sure you never wake up". Blue Eye seemed to only just notice the presence of the people behind his Grandson and laughed "he's my Grandson so I'll do what I want!!" he hissed "and he's nothing to you so zip it!!". At this point, Ezra spoke up once again "what do you want Callum?? Why did you want to meet me??" all attention was returned to the man and boy "I found some things that I don't want...but thought you might say different" and with that, the man with the eye patch pulled a holo-disk, the teens mother's diary and...his old lothcat teddy!! Ezra gasped at the sight as he recognized the objects "I...I haven't seen this stuff in...in years" Callum held them out to the boy "yeah well, now they're yours" he stated "I don't want them".

Ezra hesitantly took the things away from the man and placed them into his bag "thanks...but this doesn't mean I forgive you for all you've done". Blue Eye rolled his eyes at his Grandson from the statement "oh for god sake Ezra!! Get over it already!! It was in the past!!" he exclaimed, the anger that had eased away was now completely back; the fifteen year old shook his head "it maybe in the past...but the memories I have will never leave, the scars physical and mental I have will never disappear". And with that, Ezra turned away and began to make his way back to his friends so that they could leave; he could feel his emotions beginning to get to him from...well...from all of this!! Being at his parents holiday home, seeing his ex-Grandfather, being given things that once belonged to his parents, as well as his lothcat teddy!! 

At this point, Callum was furious; how dare the boy turn his back on him!! It was more than clear that he had major anger issues. So in that moment, Blue Eye reached into his open bag - where he had retrieved his daughter and son-in-law's things - and pulled out....a belt?? Before anyone could do or any anything, Callum forcefully struck Ezra's back, earning an instant pain filled scream as he fell to the floor. It was a scream that would haunt the crews nightmares, that's for sure. "Ezra!!" they yelled in horror; Kanan quickly caught the falling teen before he could hit the floor, Hera right next to him to inspect the injury as they all knew a whipping like that and at that force would leave a nasty mark. It was confirmed when they saw blood soaking into his clothes on his back, as well as on his Master's arm. 

Before Callum could harm the boy again, Anakin used the force to push him away a few feet as Sabine aimed her blasters at the man; Zeb quickly removed the belt from Blue Eye's grasp and prepared his bo-rifle...just in case. Kanan wanted to kill that poor excuse for a man but his need to make sure his Padawan was okay over ruled the other. "Guys...I'm fine" Ezra attempted to reassured "you can stop fussing" he began to slowly rise up from the floor with his Master's help "you're not fine Ezra!! You were just whipped with a belt!!" Hera exclaimed as she and Kanan stopped the kid from falling again "I...I'll be fine, it's not the first time, remember??" that one sentence didn't help matters but it did shut most of the crew up. Key word 'most' as Kanan shook his head "this shouldn't be a normal thing for you Ezra" he stated as he sent a glare to Callum; his gaze returned to the teen, as well as his friends. 

"Let's get back to the ship so we can get the kid patched up and return to the temple" Kanan ordered "I never want to see that piece of crap again" Ezra gave a bitter and tired chuckle "you and me both Master...you and me both". So with that, they all left the house - after Zeb had knocked Callum unconscious of course - and made their way back to the Ghost. Chopper instantly asked what was wrong with their newest member once he saw that he was nearly being carried by the two Jedi's, as well as seeing there was blood dripping down his back. Hera, Sabine and the droid made their way to the cockpit to fly off whilst Zeb went to the kitchen to make himself and the kid something to eat; Anakin and Kanan entered the med bay before patching Ezra up. It was a rather nasty injury and would definitely add to his collection of scars. They cleaned the wound, bandaged it up and gave the kid a new shirt as his old one was now blood stained; they also gave him some pain meds. All was done and Zeb returned with some space waffles.
