Chapter 22: Ahsoka Tano and the Order of Time
No treasure is greater than friends and family.
A tribute to the heroes of Earth! Following many countless battles against the Shadow Collective, both in the Expanded Universe and on Earth, a token of appreciation has been awarded to Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi who arrived on Earth and changed everything since her arrival. In Dakota City, a Museum decorated with the famous events and memorabilia has been set up, and Ahsoka Tano, with the Young Justice, travel there to find what is in store for them.
Ahsoka, Robin, Miss Martian, Anakin, Barriss and Katooni all stood outside a large building, one with a sign that read The Expanded Universe Journey Museum on it. Ahsoka walked up to it and chuckled.
"You know, when I first arrived here, I didn't want to draw in too much attention," Ahsoka admitted as Lux walked back from investigating around the area. "I never thought a museum for us would be put up, especially after so much has happened."
"It's been a week since the Shadow Collective left Earth," Anakin said. "Besides, with some of the Republic and Jedi here, they've offered to donate some stuff from our adventures for Earth to see. I'd say it's a good tribute."
"It's not every day you get a museum from your first fight and appearance on Earth," Miss Martian said. "Which, now that I say it, sounds like a very strange sentence to say."
"I'm flattered by all this. Really, I am," Ahsoka said. "But I'm still worried. The Ruination is still intact, Maul and the Shadow Collective are still out there… and I can't help but have this feeling that they'll strike again."
"Hey, if they do, we'll be ready." Robin comforted as Nomad walked out with Jessica.
"The Curator says you can come in now," Nomad said. "Though I find it strange that he needs preparation for a museum about you."
Ahsoka chuckled. "Don't worry," she said. "We're on our way."
Inside of the Museum was a Holographic Statue of Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan, as well as cases with items from each adventure of the Young Justice, both on Earth and through the Expanded Universe, replicas of lightsabers that were used on missions, and even statues of fallen foes that Ahsoka and the Young Justice, even the Justice League and Jedi when they fought alongside each other, had vanquished.
Waiting for Ahsoka and the Young Justice was a young woman. She had red hair, brown glasses over her green eyes, a scarf, near-dark skin, wearing a red and black checkered jacket over a black shirt, a black belt, khakis and silver boots. She looked to her board before turning around and smiling at the very people the museum was paying tribute to.
"Ahsoka Tano, welcome," the young woman said, holding out her hand to Ahsoka to shake. "My name is Cerise Jonas. I am the curator of this ne museum, and I must say, I am a huge fan of your work," she said, almost blushing, causing Jessica to giggle a little. "I mean, from all we've heard about your actions, you're a pretty big deal."
"I wouldn't say that," Ahsoka said as she looked around. "You know, when I heard that there was going to be a museum for exploits of me and the Jedi, I didn't think you'd be able to document so much."
"James, Sarah and Henri have been filling us in on everything that has been happening, and we've managed to get a few words in from the Jedi and Troops who fought alongside you in the Expanded Universe," Cerise explained before showing everyone the statues of the enemies they brought down. "Everyone is eager to see Darth Maul, Lady Shiva, and the entire Legion of Doom lined up here once you get them."
"I don't think that will be happening too soon," Ahsoka said. She looked at each statue before touching one of them, only for her hand to phase through. "Holographic augmented reality?" she asked.
"We try to respect the technology of the Expanded Universe by matching it with what we have," Cerise explained. "Plus, we wouldn't have to worry about any curious kids leaving any marks on them."
"You have the works here," Miss Martian mused, looking to statues of Erica and Jana Starr. She looked down and gasped. "And the bells and whistles too."
"What?" Serra asked as she looked over.
Ahsoka walked to where Miss Martian as looking and noticed a statue of an old foe. "Gemini…" she said. "You found data on Gemini Rouge?"
"The greatest enemy you ever vanquished," Cerise said. "We made sure not to leave out that it was because of Sonia that you managed to defeat her once and for all."
"Without her, we'd all be goners," Ahsoka said. "No offense, but seeing her statue makes me a bit uncomfortable."
"Say no more. We can leave this for now," Cerise said, leading everyone out of the room. "Kid Flash is waiting in the next room. He said he collects a lot of souvenirs, and offered them to the Museum."
Unknown to everyone, someone was watching over them from the rooftops above. He had a gun at his side and a Whip curled up near his belt. He followed the windows until he found himself watching over the group in the next room, where Kid Flash, Artemis, Aqualad, Zatanna and Rocket were waiting for them while Connor was helping Saw to put up some of the souvenirs from the Expanded Universe.
"You're offering your souvenirs here?" Ahsoka asked, looking around. There were several lightsaber hilts, which Ahsoka sensed were empty, crystals, blasters of fallen Clone Troopers or Droids, uniforms and suits of Trooper Armor of every kind. "Hard to believe I forget the stuff that we collected on missions."
"You sure seemed busy, Kid Flash." Katooni mused.
"I've been keeping busy, adding some souvenirs that wouldn't fit back at the Cave here," Wally explained. "I figured this would be appropriate for you."
"Thanks." Ahsoka said with a smile.
"Yeah, Baywatch has been doing a lot," Artemis said before looking to a lightsaber hilt. It was gold with black accents, similar to the grip on Anakin's own lightsaber. There were also blue, silver and red accents on it, as well as an emitter that resembled Obi-Wan's lightsaber and Anakin's. "Hey, Ahsoka?" she called out, getting the attention of the Togruta. "When did we get this one? Was it during a mission I wasn't on or something?"
"Let me see," Ahsoka said, walking over. She looked at the lightsaber and narrowed her eyes. "Hmm, it's the first time I'm seeing this one," she mused before seeing a symbol on it. "It looks like the Jedi Order Emblem… but something's new about it."
"Hey, Cerise," Anakin said. "What do you know about that saber?"
"Not much," Cerise replied before looking to a series of crystals in big glass cases. "But I can assure you, the lightsabers are harmless. With the help of Master Quinlan Vos, we managed to remove every crystal and major component needed to make a lightsaber function. We have the wiring of the lightsabers hidden away where no one would ever think to look."
"Good, very good," Anakin said as he looked to a series of crystals. "The last thing we need is people on the streets with lightsabers."
From the top of the Museum, the figure continued to watch over. He took out a set of binoculars and used them to take a closer look at every lightsaber and crystal on display. However, while each lightsaber was interesting, one was his main focus. He narrowed in on the lightsaber Ahsoka found before going to a large color-changing crystal where Connor and Saw were.
"You're saying this was a donation?" Saw asked. "Never known a Kyber Crystal to do this before."
"Says it came from Maz Kanata as a gift," Connor said as Ahsoka walked over. "She said we'd be needing it."
"This was from Maz?" Ahsoka asked, investigating the crystal. "Looks very nice. I can't believe she was holding out on us, considering we've seen every nook and cranny of her place on Takodana."
"I've never seen a Kyber Crystal like this before," Barriss said as she walked up. "Most impressive."
The man on the roof investigated the crystal, unaware that his shadow was starting to get longer.
"Quite amazing indeed," Ahsoka said before she noticed something on the ground. She narrowed her eyes and moved to the side, revealing the long shadow cast from the man. She turned around, as did the rest of the Young Justice. "What the?!"
The man recoiled in surprise before closing the window and running away.
"Miss Martian, Zatanna, go ahead!" Aqualad ordered. "We'll be right behind you!"
"Come on!" Ahsoka called out as she led the Young Justice, Anakin, Jessica and Nomad towards the exit, with Cerise looking on in confusion.
Outside, the man ran across the roofs, with Zatanna and Miss Martian behind him. The two narrowed their eyes as they flew after him before he leapt onto another rooftop. As soon as he did, he took out his whip and swung to the roof on the building across, wrapping around a billboard. As soon as he landed, he leapt down into the alley, where a motorcycle was hidden under a tarp. He revved it up and rode off, making his way into the street, where Ahsoka was riding her bike after him.
"Miss M, any idea who this guy is?" Ahsoka called out as Miss Martian and Zatanna flew down. "Any clues as to who he's aligned with? Maul, Darhk, Sidious maybe?"
"I'm trying to probe his mind, but he's got a strong defense," Miss Martian replied. "I've never known anyone to evade us like this."
"What do you think he wanted from the Museum?" Zatanna asked.
"I'm guessing the Crystal," Connor said, flying over. "His shadow was cast right over you guys when you were looking over it."
"There have been a lot of black market deals for items from the Expanded Universe lately," Artemis said as she flew with the rest of the Young Justice in the Bioship above. Below her, Kid Flash was racing while Robin, Aqualad and Lux were on their own bikes. Barriss flew next to her with Jessica. "Are we taking the portals into consideration? You think someone from the Expanded Universe found their way through and was hired by Maul?"
"Unlikely. They've been under protection ever since we found the one leading to the Jedi Temple," Ahsoka said before seeing a red light up ahead. "He's sure to stop here. Get ready to move in."
The man stopped his bike in front of the back of a truck and leapt off onto the truck. He took out a gun and shot at the tires of Robin, Aqualad and Lux's bikes, causing them to stop, before taking out a canteen of water. He opened it and took a long sip. After that, he stretched his back before the Young Justice caught up with him.
"Sorry, kids," the man said. "I'm out of here."
"Stop!" Robin called out before he tossed a Birdarang.
The man's hat was knocked off. He ran to get it and put it back on his head.
"What?" Ahsoka asked as the man turned to her and the Young Justice briefly. She managed to get a good look at his face before the light turned green. He sat down, out of breath, as the truck he was on rode off.
Back at Mount Justice, Robin and Nomad were going through the surveillance footage from Dakota. Several files of Cad Bane were brought up as well as Ahsoka entered the room with some coffee in her hands.
"A couple days before Christmas, and we can't catch a break," Robin mused. "And to add to that, someone breaks into the Museum built for all we've done."
"I know, I know. It's frustrating, but we'll beat this guy before the holidays," Ahsoka said before looking to Cad Bane's file. "You can cross him off," she said. "I got word from Obi-Wan that Cad Bane has been spending his time in Gotham. Embo is working under the Arthurian Delegates as a guard, and Hondo is at the Kessel. It's not someone from the Expanded Universe."
"You're sure?" Nomad asked. "He seemed pretty fast for a human."
"He was also seasoned," Ahsoka said, bringing up footage from her helmet. "He could have outrun M'gann and Z, but stopped running and started riding. He has a canteen that is outdated by almost a century. Plus… I think I've seen his face before."
"That mean you have a plan?" Anakin asked as he walked over with Padmé.
"Yeah, I'm going back to the Museum… alone," Ahsoka replied. "If I'm right, we won't have to end this in blood."
"You know best, Ahsoka," Padmé said. "We trust you."
"Be safe out there." Anakin said.
"I'll be back before Christmas." Ahsoka said before walking off, pecking Lux on the cheek as she headed towards the Hangar Bay.
In downtown Blüdhaven, the man entered a warehouse. He looked around, keeping to the shadows, before walking up the staircase. He took out his inhaler and breathed into it before seeing a man who was sitting at a computer.
The man in the shadows looked to all the monitors with his hand over his mouth. He placed his face into his hands before turning his chair around.
"Did you get it?" he asked.
"You weren't kidding about the Jedi and the Young Justice," the aged man said. "I had the Crystal in my sights, but I was spotted. Need I remind you, I'm old. I had no plans on doing another treasure hunt. I want to see my family again!"
"And I want to see mine, but we can't do any of that without the Crystal!" the hidden man snapped. He took a deep breath and calmed down. "I'm not your enemy here. Please, get the Crystal, and we can both go home. I'm a man of my word, and once the job is done, we can see our families again."
The man nodded. "I'll do what I can." He said before walking out with some medications.
At the Museum, Ahsoka was walking through the halls with Cerise Jonas.
"You think the thief is after the Crystal?" Cerise asked. "Why didn't you bring your friends to help you out?"
"Because I have a hunch, and you wouldn't believe me if I told you who it is," Ahsoka said. "Just trust me. I've been working on handling things peacefully. I won't even ignite my lightsaber for this."
"You know it will cost us if any damage is brought to any relic here, right?" Cerise asked.
"I promise you, nothing will be damaged." Ahsoka said before walking to the room. As soon as she was inside, she cloaked herself and his in the shadows.
An hour passed, and Ahsoka was drinking her coffee. She looked up and noticed the window open. She continued to stay hidden as the man leapt down. He tossed some dust into the air, seeing a laser security system. He searched around and tossed an EMP towards the power generator, deactivating this grid. He made his way to the case and noticed a lock. Placing his ear against the lock, he started to turn the knob. Soon, after a few clicks, it opened, and the glass case lifted. He was about to grab the crystal until he turned to the side. He took out his whip and aimed his gun to where Ahsoka was hiding.
"You can come out now," the man said. "You may not be human, but I know when I'm being watched."
Ahsoka came out of hiding and stepped forward. "Please, reconsider what you're doing," she said. "You don't have to steal this Crystal."
"All I want is to get out of here," the man said. "I need the crystal to get back to my time and see my family again. I'm old, I want to go back to retirement, and…" he trailed off after noticing Ahsoka did not flinch at what he was saying. "You're not at all doubtful about my claims, are you?"
"I know your adventures. You outran a boulder, fought off Arabian Swordsmen, you even can't get over your fear of snakes, which is sort of strange, now that I stop to think about it," Ahsoka said, getting a shrug from the man. "But in any case, I know who you are… Indiana Jones."
The man lowered his gun slowly before coming out of the shadows. Sure enough, it was Indiana Jones. He was wearing his trademark fedora, brown coat and boots, and bag at his side, his Whip still in hand.
"How do you know about me?" Indiana asked.
"Everyone who's learned about the explorer of the Cold War, World War II and the discovery of the Crystal Skulls knows who you are," Ahsoka said. "As for the time thing, it's natural for me. I've run into some friends from another time before, so this isn't much of a surprise," she explained. "Plus, you have both your…" she started out before remembering what she was doing. "Never mind."
"I won't ask because I know a bit about time myself," Indiana said. "Truth be told, this isn't my first time meeting a Jedi. When I come from, I met one."
"I'm sure it's a story to hear, but right now, I need you to step away from that crystal," Ahsoka said. "I came unarmed in the hopes of finding a peaceful solution to this. If you're the great man I've learned about, please… put your weapons away. I promise, no harm will come to you. A Jedi's word."
Indiana Jones sighed and put away his gun before placing his Whip back onto his belt. "Nothing else an old man can do," he said before taking out his canteen. He tapped it before getting some water. "Besides… stealing from a museum is not really my strong suit. If you can help me, I'm happy to talk."
"As I said, I have friends who can help," Ahsoka said. "Come with me."
Indiana Jones nodded and followed after Ahsoka. "I know this goes against all history, but I have to know… what happens to me?"
Ahsoka grinned. "History is better off writing itself than the great people knowing what fate has in store for them." She said.
Later, at Mount Justice, Ahsoka brought Indiana Jones in. All the members of the Young Justice looked at him in amazement.
"Indiana Jones?!" Robin exclaimed. "No way!"
"Ahsoka, you have no idea how big a fan I am of this guy!" Kid Flash exclaimed. "But I thought that he lost his…"
"Spoilers!" Artemis whispered, elbowing the speedster for good measure.
"Yet another person from out of their time," Aqualad mused as Indiana took a drink from his canteen with his medications. "Looks like you were right about your hunch."
"I didn't believe it at first either," Ahsoka said. "But it looks like Mr. Jones is really here in the flesh."
"Well, he's pretty seasoned, from what I've learned about him while at Gotham Academy," Serra said as she turned to Ahsoka with her arms crossed. "Four adventures, and he's already starting to slow down. We could have caught him easily."
"Well, maybe not," Ahsoka said. "Indiana's pretty good. Fast enough to evade us."
"I'm just not too sure if we should keep this hidden from the League." Serra said.
"I don't know," Ahsoka said with her eyes wide while Katooni and Jessica started to snicker. "His silent movement skills are still as good as ever."
Serra's eyes widened. "He's standing right behind me, isn't he?" she asked.
"Yep." Ahsoka replied.
"He's been standing there for quite a while, hasn't he?" Serra asked again.
"You can say that…" Jessica said while Nomad chuckled a little.
"Is he… close enough to have heard what I just said?" Serra asked nervously as Indiana Jones smirked behind her.
"Oh, good grief, no," Indiana Jones said smugly. " He's so old and decrepit these days he's as deaf as a post."
Serra turned around and blushed instantly. "I meant no offense in any of those statements," she said nervously. "I am very certain that you are still the great explorer we've all learned about."
"Good save." Indiana Jones smirked.
"But we still want to know something," Ahsoka said. "You said you came out from time. While we're used to people from out of time, like, almost every year, how did you get from the late 1950s to 2012?"
Indiana Jones sighed. "A lot to take in, huh?" he asked. "Well, it was for me too. It was a couple months after I got married to Marion, and she, Mutt and I were settling down. I considered putting my hat down after the quest for the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls."
"According to history, you never went into retirement after George McHale died and returned Harold Oxley's sanity," Zatanna mused. "What happened?"
"Five days before Christmas, I was on my way home from work, hoping to catch my favorite soap opera in time," Indiana Jones started to explain. "A man stopped in front of my car. I told him to move, but he said he needed my help. Before I knew it, he dragged me through a portal. I thought I was going to see Mac again, but I found myself at Marshall College instead… in this time, a couple of weeks after the attack I heard happened here. The man was there, and explained everything to me. His name is Time Commander. He said he was a time-traveler and enlister, keeps the timeline intact. I thought it was nonsense at first, but he showed me something that wiped away all of my suspicions."
"What was it?" Ahsoka asked.
Indiana Jones took off his hat. "This was at a museum in Chicago. It was one that I lost on one of my adventures. I could never find it… but someone else did," he explained. "I ordered Time Commander to take me home, but he refused."
"Because he needed you?" Jessica asked.
"It wasn't a threat, more like a plea for help," Indiana went on. "He told me that there was a crystal he needed. He would have gotten it himself, but he's asthmatic. He wanted to get home to his family like I do, but I needed to help him first."
"You mean that crystal you were trying to steal?" Anakin asked. "Sounds like a big coincidence."
"He said that the crystal at the Expanded Universe Museum was from the future, something that didn't belong, just like me," Indiana said. "According to him, there were several people in this timeline that weren't supposed to appear yet, and all he wants is to deliver them to where they are supposed to be. Now, I have my doubts on him, but if what he's saying is true, I need that crystal to bring to him so that we can both go home. I may still have some strength and agility, but I still need medications to keep myself on track. I'm getting older, and I don't know if I'm ever going to see my family again."
"Wait," Superboy interrupted. "If this guy is so keen on keeping the timeline intact… why did he go through the trouble of pulling you out of the past?"
"Time Commander has what he calls a Time Stone, that allows him to travel to any point in time," Indiana Jones explained. "Not to be used in cases of emergencies. Because he was getting out of shape, he came to my time, and these are his words, because of my particular set of skills that have made me famous. The crystal he's looking for is said to have enough power to take both of us back to our times, as well as deliver the people in this timeline to the times when they're to be known."
"Do you know who these people are?" Raquel asked.
"Two of them are dead, some guys names Werner Vertigo and the Sensei," Indiana Jones explained. "Time Commander found the remains of their bodies and placed them in stasis, using the energy from his Time Stone to restore them. He said that their deaths weren't supposed to happen yet, so he's bringing them back to bring to the future," he said, shocking the Young Justice, Anakin, and Nomad. "Three others he said were people named Tara Markov, Rex Mason… and Tatsu Yamashiro."
"Terra, Metamorpho and Katana?" Robin asked. "Tell that guy no deal!"
"It's not my decision to make!" Indiana Jones snapped back. "All I want is to see my family again and hang up my hat. I want my last adventure to be memorable, not something I'm forced into. I need help… please."
Ahsoka stepped up. "I see," she said. "You're not the bad guy here. This Time Commander guy is forcing you to do this. I don't blame you. Some of us would have done the same thing if it meant seeing the people we loved again."
Indiana Jones smiled. "You're very bright," he complimented. "If I weren't running from you earlier, I bet you could help me."
"Well, we can right now," Anakin said. "We'll round up Terra, Katana and Metamorpho, and let them know what's going on."
"Serra, Katooni, Barriss, Rebel, Nomad and Aqualad, with me," Ahsoka said. "Let's pay this Time Commander a visit."
"I'll bring you right to him," Indiana Jones said as Ahsoka guided him towards the Hangar Bay. "Let me warn you, though, Time Commander is a bit… strange."
"Tell that to Adam," Miss Martian teased as she flew over. She landed inside of the Bioship and started to get everything ready. "All systems are online," she said. "Now, where exactly is Time Commander?"
"Blüdhaven," Indiana Jones replied. "But he's secluded himself so that no vessel can penetrate his location. We go there on foot."
At this time, Katana was sparring against several dummies at a warehouse down in Central City. Metamorpho was testing out some new powers before Terra soared down on a rock, with three other rocks surrounding her. As they continued to train, Anakin stepped in with the rest of the Young Justice.
"You're all looking good," Anakin said, causing the three to look at him. "Where's Hiro, Beast Boy and Sapphire?"
"Helping out with the damage in Keystone," Katana replied. She looked to the Young Justice before deactivating her Shadow Saber. "Something tells me this isn't a social visit." She mused.
"You three specifically are needed for a mission we have," Saw said. "We're not sure if you'll be coming back, but we need you for this."
"We've been doing a lot ever since Ahsoka helped us out," Terra said. "We've been giving our lives to save the world a ton."
"Yeah," Metamorpho said. "Time we helped her and square our debt."
"About that…" Anakin said. "Well, your lives include the need for time travel, believe it or not."
In Blüdhaven, Indiana Jones was leading Ahsoka, Aqualad, Nomad, Lux, Serra and Katooni to a warehouse, hidden from the sight of the public by several other buildings surrounding it. At the ground in front of it was a robe that Miss Martian immediately recognized.
"Wait," Miss Martian said, seeing the crimson robe. "This belonged to Siege."
"Time Commander mentioned that name, being employed by him unwillingly," Indiana Jones said before coming to a realization. He clenched his fist. "I'm gonna take him out if he turned out to never be telling me the truth."
"Aligning with a Sith?" Ahsoka asked. "Yeah, we're with you on that."
Lux took out the Darksaber Hilt and held it ready as Ahsoka, Nomad, Serra and Katooni did the same. "Let's do this." He said.
"Be ready for anything." Ahsoka ordered.
Indiana Jones walked up to the door and opened it while taking his gun out. "Time Commander!" he called out. "You and I have some talking to do! Get out here!"
"Really?" Katooni asked. "I thought you had a calm head."
"I also shot an Arabian swordsman because he bored me in the middle of one of my exploits," Indiana Jones remarked. "By the way, what do you people mean when you say I haven't lost something? I'm starting to get worried, even though I want to keep my own timeline intact too."
"You're not going to know just yet," Ahsoka said. "Because… as you said, it would disrupt the time stream."
"One little fact wouldn't hurt," Indiana Jones said before realization hit him. "Time Commander is right behind me, isn't he?"
"Yes…" Time Commander said before going into a coughing fit, surprising everyone. "I am."
Time Commander was a man with blonde hair, a muscular build and green eyes. He wore a black coat with silver accents, a navy shirt underneath, dark-red pants and tall boots. He had a pocket watch at his side, as well as an inhaler in his hands. He breathed into it before taking a drink of water.
Everyone waited for Time Commander to regain himself, all looking around or watching him closely. After a while, he turned back.
"I see you've brought friends with you," Time Commander said. He turned to Ahsoka and the Young Justice. "He hasn't lost it yet, so don't pester him."
"What are people talking about?" Indiana Jones asked in an irritated voice.
"You're Time Commander, I presume?" Ahsoka asked.
"Yes, Ahsoka Tano," Time Commander said. "I was sent to the 21st Century by Rip Hunter to keep the timeline intact."
"And Rip Hunter is…?" Ahsoka asked.
"Head of the Time Masters," Time Commander explained. "People who keep the timeline intact, in balance, by situating themselves in the shadows, making sure events go as time plans them to. That was until Lord Siege forced me to join his order during his attempt to get revenge at you."
"And that was when Ezra and Sabine came to Earth to stop him, right?" Miss Martian asked.
"I was curious about them, yes," Time Commander confirmed. "However, Siege knew what my every move would be. I've been opening time portals to see what has been going on, including seeing James, Sarah and Henri during your time on Muunilist. But before that, I wanted to see where Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren came from. That was my mistake. Two Inquisitors, the Seventh Sister and the Eighth Brother, stepped through, and followed them to the Expanded Universe through the vortex. It was one of my greatest failures."
"Since they were defeated, I hold nothing against you," Ahsoka said. "But what's this about needing Katana, Metamorpho, Terra, Count Vertigo and the Sensei?" she asked.
"Come and see," Time Commander said, leading everyone up to his monitor. He took out a remote and brought up several holographic surveillance footage. "This is five or more years from now, give or take," he explained, showing footage of Katana and Metamorpho jumping off of a plane before showing the Young Justice, with their allies from the Expanded Universe, fighting against the Sensei at one screen while on the other screen, Artemis was facing Count Vertigo. "I make none of this up. This time is the original time these five are supposed to be in. The only reason I didn't find them and take them to the future was because of how much of a great impact they were making in history today."
Ahsoka narrowed her eyes, seeing her fighting with the Young Justice during the time. She was wielding different lightsabers, as well as using new attacks. After a while, she turned back to Time Commander.
"Say that I let you take my friends… and enemies… to this time," Ahsoka said, narrowing her eyes. "Are you planning to erase their memories of their times with us? And our memories of our time with them?"
"You really think we'd do that after seeing them form such strong bonds with you?" Time Commander asked, causing Ahsoka to look at him with surprise on her face. "We are anything but cruel. The Order of Time makes sure that people placed in new time periods still retain their memories. It helps make them stronger. We are not biased on hero or villain. Part of our code is to make the resilience of time-displaced individuals stronger. That means never erasing memories, the good or the bad," he explained as Ahsoka was trying to process all of what she was being told. "All we want… is balance, achieved peacefully."
Ahsoka placed her hands to the sides of her temples. "Okay, hold the phone," she said, still trying to process everything. "You're saying you have absolutely no intention on harming our friends?" she asked.
"Right." Time Commander replied.
"And that this is all for the benefit of every sentient being?" Ahsoka asked.
"Correct…" Time Commander confirmed once again, feeling a little uneasy.
"And our friends who need to be sent to the right time period still get to remember the times they had with all of us?" Ahsoka asked.
"Once again, yes." Time Commander said.
Ahsoka threw her arms up in disbelief, with a little bit of surprise. "It's not an evil plan," she mused just as Anakin, the Young Justice, Katana, Metamorpho and Terra arrived. "Well, out of all the things… I have no idea what to do when it's not an evil plan. It's a bit redundant, and after fighting so many battles… I can't believe this isn't an evil plan… yet so glad at the same time."
"I thought there was no evil plan when you met Elsa." Katana wondered.
"Well, at the time, the War wasn't brought to Earth yet," Ahsoka reminded. "And all it took was singing her favorite song to calm her down," she added on before turning back to Time Commander and Indiana Jones. "Look, I'll help you, but we need to set down some rules first." She said.
"I'm all about rules." Time Commander said.
"I'm all about breaking them," Indiana said, getting glares from Ahsoka and Time Commander. "But for the greater good, I follow them, so let's hear what you've got."
"First off, we're going to get that crystal, but there's no way we're breaking into the Museum dedicated to us," Ahsoka started off. "We do this the right way."
"That I can do," Indiana Jones said. "Never did feel too comfortable with breaking in."
"Second, my friends have to willingly agree to going with you, Time Commander," Ahsoka went on. "I know you have a duty to protect the timeline, but snatching them and bringing them to the future won't be fair to them."
"Wait, what?" Terra asked. "Sorry, we weren't here for that first part."
"Long story, one you can all stay here and listen to Time Commander tell you," Ahsoka explained as she turned to face her friends. "But as I told them, it's all up to you whether you want to go or not. We're not forcing you into this."
"I wouldn't force someone into a decision, not since Mac." Indiana Jones added on in support.
Ahsoka smiled and turned back to Indiana Jones. "Well, what are we waiting for?" she asked. "Let's get you that crystal, and you can finally go home."
"The sooner, the better." Indiana Jones agreed.
"Yeah, about that…" Time Commander said, causing Ahsoka and Indiana Jones to turn to him. "It was never about the crystal."
"It wasn't?" Indiana Jones asked. "I hate it when I'm cheated."
"What's this all about, Time Commander?" Ahsoka asked.
Time Commander turned to Terra, Metamorpho and Katana. He showed them the screens of what they would be doing in the future. "Watch these, and I'll be with you in a minute," he said before walking with Ahsoka and Indiana Jones to another part of the warehouse. He brought up another set of holographic screens, showing an old Jedi Master teaching several Force-Sensitive Wielders on an island. "Years into the future, after all that I have shown you, after the time of Ezra and Sabine, and before the time of the Aces, a Jedi helped to bring a new age to the Jedi Order," he explained. "I will not disclose his name to you, for obvious reasons. This Jedi Master constructed a lightsaber before his academy fell. It was built with a special crystal, known as the Kyber Legacy. Capable of transcending time and space, and utilizing the same techniques used by the great Jedi Masters, Knights and memorable Padawans of old. It required only the focusing crystal and the Kyber Legacy, no more, no less. The Grand Jedi Master dubbed this weapon as the Master Saber. The Skywalker Knights were the most adept at wielding it and controlling its power, but when an evil challenged the Master, he ripped open a portal with the Master Saber and tossed the weapon through, along with the essence of the great evil," he went on. "But what the Grand Jedi Master didn't know was that the essence could take control of anyone or anything in the timeline he sent the Master Saber to. The crystal was found in this timeline, separated from the Master Saber. I thought the crystal was the key to getting everyone back to their timelines, but when I was looking back, or forward, I learned that it took the Master Saber as a whole to unlock its true powers."
"A lightsaber is capable of this?" Ahsoka asked. "With all the lightsabers in the museum, how will we know what it even looks like?"
"It's a distinct gold, with the emblem of the Jedi Order on it," Indiana Jones said as he looked to the Master Saber. "What kind of specific gold, I'm not sure, and I know all the treasures in history."
"This Gold was made from the beginning of time, before the dinosaurs," Time Commander explained. "Found on Earth, and imported to the Expanded Universe during the Apollo runs. One crystal of it was enough to create the impermeable substance that creates the hilt of the Master Saber."
"Wait…" Ahsoka said, looking to the screen of the hilt of the Master Saber. Her eyes widened with surprise. "This is back at the Museum!"
"So now we know where to look," Indiana Jones said. "You take the lead on this one."
"You mean… I take point on an actual quest with the Indiana Jones?" Ahsoka asked with excitement. She let out a squeal before composing herself. "Of course," she said after a while. "Let's get a move on."
"Be careful when you fully assemble the Master Saber," Time Commander advised. "It can bring forth untold problems with the ability to transcend space and time."
"We'll make sure we keep the Master Saber safe." Anakin said, to which Ahsoka nodded in agreement.
"I'll be here with your friends, explaining to them what's going on," Time Commander said as he walked over to the rest of the Young Justice, with Metamorpho, Terra and Katana as Anakin, Miss Martian, Jessica Cruz and Nomad walked over. "When you have it, make sure to bring it here. It doesn't belong in this timeline anyway."
"Right," Ahsoka said. "Let's get to the Museum. As soon as we have the Master Saber intact, we'll be able to send Indy home."
"So how do you propose we do his?" Anakin asked.
"I'm sure Cerise can let us get it," Ahsoka reasoned. "It is our Museum, after all."
At the Museum back in Dakota City, as Rocket, Rocket II and Icon were keeping guard, Cerise was looking over all of the displays. She looked to a picture inside of her locket and smiled.
"If you could see me now, Great Granduncle," Cerise Jonas said. "You'd be so proud of me."
At that moment, the door opened. Cerise held her locket close to her heart before closing it and turning around. She saw Ahsoka and smiled before Indiana Jones, Anakin, Miss Martian, Jessica Cruz and Nomad walk in behind her. Seeing the legendary artifact hunter, she gasped.
"Hey there, Cerise," Ahsoka said. "Nice to see you again. Sorry it had to be so late again."
"Um, no problem, Ahsoka," Cerise replied. "So, what brings you all here?"
"We need something from the Museum," Ahsoka explained. "A gold lightsaber from the room we were at earlier."
"Why do you need it?" Cerise asked nervously before looking to Indiana Jones again. "Hold on… is that…?"
"Indiana Jones, at your service." Indiana Jones introduced himself.
"What?" Cerise asked, almost in disbelief. "But that can't be right. You… you're…"
"He's out from his original timeline, and I know that sounds crazy, but so is this," Ahsoka said. "That gold lightsaber we never saw until today… it can help get him back home."
"Oh, my boss will never believe this," Cerise sighed. "But you also won't believe the energy signatures that the lightsaber and the crystal have been giving off recently."
"Must have something to do with it being out of time." Jessica mused.
"Take us to it." Nomad said.
"Alright, come on!" Cerise called out as she led everyone to the room.
Unknown to anyone, the hologram of Gemini Rouge was gone. Several footprints were left leading towards another case across from it, holding the lightsabers she once wielded.
In the room, Ahsoka and Indiana Jones walked towards the crystal. Miss Martian placed her hand towards it and started to use the Force to tap into the energy being given off.
"I… I can feel it," Miss Martian said. "Almost as if it's speaking to me."
"Me too," Anakin said. "Time Commander wasn't kidding about this."
"Wait, the Master Saber…" Ahsoka said. She looked to the case it was in before opening it. She picked up the hilt and inspected it before opening it up, seeing only the focusing crystal inside. "No wiring…" she recalled. She looked to Indiana Jones and nudged her head. "Get the crystal."
"You know, I'm glad I'm not being chased by boulders this time… and especially glad there are no snakes." Indiana Jones mused as he walked to the crystal, with Cerise accessing the panel to unlock it.
"Yeah, snakes are the worst," Cerise agreed. "But boulders? I had no idea you could outrun them."
"I've done a lot of things that are unbelievable, Miss." Indiana Jones replied.
"Like how you sent a dozen men to their deaths into a river full of crocodiles? Or made your first travel through time?" Cerise asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.
Indiana Jones turned to Cerise as he grabbed the crystal. "I don't recall making some of my adventures public." He mused.
Before Cerise could say anything, the crystal started to glow. Jessica looked to it and scanned it with her Ring.
"That's the energy signature, alright," Jessica said. "Spiking up like crazy!"
Ahsoka looked to the crystal carefully before reaching her hand out. A small bit of it flew out towards her. She took a deep breath before opening up the Master Saber. Taking the small bit of crystal, she placed it in. As soon as she did, the Master Saber started to glow. Everyone gasped as the Master Saber Hilt closed on its own, the symbol of the Jedi Order shining bright.
"That is… that's incredible!" Nomad exclaimed.
"Find the others," Ahsoka ordered. She looked to Indiana Jones and smiled. "Looks like it will be a happy Christmas for you and your family after all."
"And it's starting to snow too," Indiana mused as he looked outside. "Guess we all got worried for nothing."
"Oh, now I'm offended." A voice said.
Ahsoka gasped and turned around, only to be met with a kick from the side. She looked up, and towering over her was a foe she though was long gone, one who took on the Dark Side of her.
"Gemini Rouge?!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "How is this—?" she started out before remembering what Time Commander said earlier. "You're still dead."
"On the contrary…" Gemini started out before lunging her fingers into Ahsoka's chest. "I've never felt so alive!"
"Stay back!" Anakin called out. He activated his lightsaber and swung it at Gemini, only for her to get up and activate her own lightsabers, blocking the attack. Nomad ran in and slashed at him with his own lightsabers as well before Jessica fired on her.
Gemini laughed and deflected all the attacks sent at her before Miss Martian slashed at her. Gemini growled and slashed back. Ahsoka got up and activated her own lightsaber, slashing at her with Soresu like M'gann. Gemini chuckled and spun around, taking them all on, before spinning around, sending Sith Lightning down on everyone. She walked over to Ahsoka and brought her lightsabers up, only for Indiana Jones to use his Whip to grab her arms.
"Gemini Rouge, prepare to meet the devil in Hell!" Indiana Jones spat before taking out his sword and slashing out Gemini's cybernetic eye.
Gemini yelled as she fell back. She growled and sent Indiana Jones to the side, disarming him of his Whip. However, he took out his gun and shot at her before Ahsoka lashed at her, spinning with a series of Shien attacks. Gemini easily parried them off with a mixture of Vaapad and Makashi before slashing away the bullets sent at her by Indiana Jones. As she was about to unleash Sith Lightning on him, the Whip she disarmed Jones of lashed at her, sending her back. As she struggled to regain herself, everyone turned to see Cerise, wielding the Whip in ways similar to how Indiana did in all of his adventures.
"Thank you for that, Ms. Jonas, but we need you to get out of here." Ahsoka said gratefully.
"Don't worry," Cerise said as Indiana Jones got up and walked towards her. "I can help."
"For your own safety, please…" Indiana started off before seeing the locket open. He gasped quietly. "Well I'll be." He said in amazement, taking his hat off.
Inside of the locket was a picture of an elderly couple, the husband with an eye-patch, as well as a man who looked like Indiana Jones himself, only he wore a biker jacket instead of a brown one. Multiple other people were shown with them, but a young girl with a red streak on her hair stood out.
"Ms. Jonas?" Ahsoka asked.
"They got my name tag printed wrong when I signed up for the curator job," Cerise explained. "One letter off in my last name, and suddenly, I'm the Jonas Sister."
"Are you saying what I think you're trying to say?" Indiana Jones asked. "'Jones' is a common last name, after all."
"Not when you're the result of an explorer and architect in the twenty-first century," Cerise explained. She sprinted forward and sent a punch to Gemini before looking back to Indiana. "Hey there, Great Grand-Uncle Henry."
Indiana Jones smirked. "Let me guess, born on my side and Mutt's?" he asked.
"Half removed, believe it or not." Cerise shrugged.
"So sappy," Gemini spat, using the Force to lift Indiana Jones and Cerise off of the ground. "Too bad I have to spoil the moment."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Ahsoka exclaimed, sending Gemini flying out of the Museum with a Force Push.
Gemini gasped as she was thrown out, getting Indiana and his Ancestor to drop back onto the ground.
"Thanks, Ahsoka." Indiana Jones said.
"Don't thank me yet," Ahsoka said. She looked to the Master Saber on her belt before looking out the broken glass window Gemini was thrown out of. "I'll deal with Gemini. Get to the Bioship and back to Blüdhaven. I'll meet you there." She ordered before running out.
"Well, possibly my last day here," Cerise said, looking to the damage. "But as you always said, Great Grand-Uncle Henry, if you want to be a great archaeologist…"
"Get out of the house," Indiana Jones finished up. "That's an inspirational quote, huh?"
"Family motto." Cerise finished up.
"Come on, you heard Ahsoka," Anakin said. "We need to get moving."
Ahsoka landed a dropkick on Gemini, who countered back as soon as she came out of the Museum. The two stared each other down before Gemini threw a punch at her. Ahsoka managed to block it before blocking two more jabs. She held her arms up in defense before getting pushed back. Gemini eventually sent a sweep kick at her legs, but she backflipped and recovered, sending two sweep kicks in her direction. She leapt up and sent two more kicks at her, each knocking Gemini off-balance before eventually landing a dropkick that sent her rolling onto the ground.
"You may know my tricks, but unless you got the Master Saber…" Ahsoka said as she held up the Master Saber, now glowing again. "You're nothing but a weak memory."
"Well this memory's about to scar your mind." Gemini spat before activating both of her lightsabers, the red blades shining with the snow as she took a Vaapad ready stance.
"Let's see what this baby can do," Ahsoka said. She activated the Master Saber, mimicking Gemini's stance. Immediately, a black blade shone. "Nice," she said as the energy from the Kyber Legacy flowed through her. "Not too shabby."
Gemini snarled before she and Ahsoka charged at each other. The two utilized Vaapad against one another, each attack being more aggressive than the last. Ahsoka placed the Master Saber behind her back, blocking an attack from Gemini, before Gemini spun around and kicked her towards a pile of snow. As she tried to get up, Gemini stomped her foot onto her back.
"You really think you can mimic the Dark Side?" Gemini asked. "You haven't tapped into the darkness for ages. Me, on the other hand… I am your darkness. It took three Jedi to kill me before, and we both know you can't kill me by yourself."
"Yeah, that's the thing," Ahsoka said, pressing the Jedi Order Emblem on the Master Saber. "My friends are always there. I'm never alone."
At that moment, a portal opened behind Gemini, and Ezra Bridger leapt out, slashing at her from behind. Gemini groaned as she was sent staggering forward before Ahsoka pressed the button again, opening another portal. She slashed forward using Ataru with a blue blade this time. Though Gemini blocked it, Sabine flew through the second portal and shot her down.
"I'm going out on a limb here and guess that Gemini returned because of time travel, like always?" Ezra asked. He looked to Ahsoka and smiled. "I swear, it almost feels like a year when you call us back to this timeline."
"Back on Earth again, I see," Sabine said as she looked around. "Didn't know it snowed."
"Good to see you again, Ahsoka." Ezra said as he twirled around his lightsaber.
"Glad to be back." Sabine added on as she readied her blasters.
"I see this has become second nature to you guys." Ahsoka mused.
"Well, this might be the last time we meet you in this time," Ezra said. "We have something big going down in Lothal in our time, so whatever we need to do, we'd better make it fast."
"All we need to do is take down Gemini," Ahsoka said as she held the Master Saber in her signature reverse grip. "She's not back from the dead, it's a time thing that brought her here."
"We took her down once," Sabine said. "It will be easy to do it again."
"Let's go!" Ezra called out.
"Come on!" Gemini yelled in a challenging voice.
"Makashi!" Ahsoka called out, summoning a yellow blade. She charged forth and sent several jabs forward, all which Gemini blocked easily before stabbing back. Ahsoka bent backwards and parried back the blade before Ezra locked blades with her.
"You're going down!" Ezra called out, slashing Gemini away. Sabine fired on her, but she deflected the shots before Ezra spun around and kicked her into the air. There, he placed his lightsaber in a reverse grip before sending a kick towards her as she fell. He sent a double kick at her before sending three Soresu strikes at her, each one causing her to fade away a little bit.
Sabine flew down and grabbed Gemini with the energy cables on her Vambraces. She spun the evil clone of Ahsoka to the side, where she unleashed a stream of fire towards her. As Gemini countered back with Sith Lightning, Ahsoka ran in from behind, using a purple blade this time.
"Surprise!" Ahsoka called out. She sent forth several Ataru slashes at Gemini. One of them cut off her left arm, destroying the lightsaber being held in the process. Ahsoka leapt back and kicked her away, where Ezra and Sabine attacked her again before she fell to the ground.
Ahsoka walked over and pointed the Master Saber at Gemini, now with her signature green blade.
"You really think you've accomplished anything here today, Tano?" Gemini asked. "You know you can't get rid of what's to come."
"You're beaten now, and forever will be, Gemini," Ahsoka said, unaware that Gemini was reaching for her lightsaber again, the emitter starting to shine for the red blade to activate. "Like I said, you're just a distant memory."
"Well, at least memories can hurt!" Gemini exclaimed, getting up with Force Speed and activating her lightsaber again.
Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at Gemini before reversing the grip to her signature style. The two slashed at each other immediately, Gemini ending up a few feet behind Ahsoka while the Togruta Jedi Knight held her lightsaber in front of her.
Gemini panted before the SokaTan Symbol went through her. She gasped and fell to the ground, where she completely faded away for good.
"Like I said…" Ahsoka said as she deactivated the maser Saber, the symbol reverting from her SokaTan Symbol back to the Emblem of the Jedi Order. "Nothing but a memory."
Ezra and Sabine walked over to Ahsoka with smiles on their faces.
"I guess we'll see you again in the future," Ezra said, causing Ahsoka to raise an eyebrow. "Or maybe I can travel back here on my own."
"Didn't you say that a Sith struck me down?" Ahsoka asked.
"Well, apparently, because of me, you're still alive," Ezra said. "I'm just waiting for you to come and find us."
"I have a feeling we won't be coming back here again," Sabine said as she looked around. "Shame. I had some ideas for art to place around here."
"Well, knowing I'm fine is enough for me to see both of you again," Ahsoka said. "May the Force be with you on Lothal, and good luck."
"Thanks, you too," Ezra said. "We'll both need it."
Ahsoka smiled before raising up the Master Saber. She activated the green blade once more before slashing forward, creating a time portal back to Lothal. On the other side, Hera and Zeb were planning with Chopper. Hera looked up and smiled.
"Goodbye, Ahsoka." Sabine said as she and Ezra held hands before walking through.
Ahsoka smiled as the portal closed. The Bioship flew over and she leapt into it before everyone flew off to Blüdhaven.
In Blüdhaven, Indiana Jones was talking with Cerise.
"It was nice meeting my Great Grand-Uncle," Cerise said. "It's like a dream come true."
"Nice meeting my ancestor," Indiana Jones replied. "What are you gonna do now?"
"My contract allows me to take breaks," Cerise said. "I'll be using that time… to pick up where you left off. You really love watching those soap operas, after all."
"That means…" Indiana started out.
"You're still alive here," Ahsoka said before turning to see Livewire with Count Vertigo and the Sensei. "She's going too?" she asked.
"Yeah," Time Commander said. "I'll need the Master Saber back in its time."
"Here you go," Ahsoka said, handing the Master Saber over. "As powerful as it is… it belongs in the hands of a Master."
Katana was talking to Hiro nearby. "I promise to never forget you." She said before she and Hiro kissed.
"We'll see each other again, I promise." Terra said to Beast Boy before they kissed as well.
"You'll be the first person I visit in the future." Metamorpho told Sapphire lovingly.
"Looks like all of you have accepted." Ahsoka said.
"We've done our part here," Katana said. She handed Ahsoka the Shadow Saber. "Time for you and the Neo Young Justice to pick up where we left off."
"And I can get home to my family," Indiana said as he smiled at Ahsoka. "It was a pleasure meeting you all."
"Pleasure was all ours, Indy."
Indiana Jones smiled once again before he walked over to Cerise. He took off his hat and looked to it. "I always said after my next adventure, I would hang up my hat… but this came from this timeline," he said to his descendant. "The Curator in Chicago was a friend of Ox. He allowed me to have it one last time… and then hand it down to the next archeologist."
Cerise smiled widely. "Truth be told, I've always dreamt of a moment like this." She said, beaming with pride.
Indiana Jones chuckled. "Dream no more," he said, handing the hat to her. "Besides, my one and only hat will still be at home when I get back. Even still, take good care of this. You have big shoes to fill."
Cerise smiled before hugging Indiana tightly. "I promise not to let you down." She said.
"I know you won't." Indiana Jones replied, hugging Cerise back.
Anakin sighed as he and Ahsoka watched. "I'll never understand time travel." He mused.
"One day, you might," Ahsoka said. She looked to Time Commander. "See you around." She said before sending Indiana Jones a salute.
Indiana Jones and Cerise released themselves from each other, the former saluting right back with deep respect.
"Thank you." Time Commander said. He opened a portal, and everyone with him went through.
Ahsoka smiled as the rest of the Young Justice joined her. "We'll see them all again," she said, causing everyone to smile. "I see the future is bright for all of us."
"Let's go home," Jessica said. "I think we still have a Christmas to prepare for."
Back in the past, Indiana Jones returned. He looked around, seeing his car was still where it was. He turned around and noticed Time Commander was walking towards him.
"This is the exact moment when I recruited you," Time Commander said. "You can't change much in the future, but I'm hoping you don't get too many ideas after what you went through."
"Having an adventure with my descendant and fighting alongside a Jedi?" Indiana Jones asked. "Those are the stuff only dreams can offer. I was glad to live it out."
"Your adventures will never end, Henry," Time Commander said, holding his hand out. "If anything, the honor to actually get to meet you is an the greatest honor a time traveler can get."
Indiana Jones nodded and shook Time Commander's hand. "I know the feeling," he replied. "By the way, I've been wanting to know… how did I lose my eye anyway?" he asked. "Cerise had a picture of me with an eye-patch in her locket."
Time Commander chuckled. "Where's the adventure in that?" he asked smugly.
Indiana Jones chuckled. "Just what I expected," he smirked before punching him lightly. "See you around."
Time Commander nodded before departing. Indiana Jones smiled and walked to his car. He noticed everything still intact before he drove home, just as it finally started to snow.
A few years into the future from the present, Katana was training, her sword in hand. As she watched a new hero, Hardware, was inducted into the Justice League with Batwoman, she smiled, remembering the times she had with him, as well as her love with Hiro Okamura.
Metamorpho looked to the Stagg Industries Building, where Sapphire was looking out the window. The two lovers noticed each other and smiled. They sent each other a nod of respect before Sapphire went back in. As Metamorpho left, he noticed Kaldur, now in gold armor, rise from the sea. The two saluted before he ran off, where Batman was waiting.
As Terra was held in an unknown location, unconscious, all she could think of was her time with Beast Boy. She smiled in her thoughts, knowing their bond would always be strong. Even if she ended up not remembering each other, she was happy about the love they formed together.
In the future, on an unknown Planet, Time Commander placed the Master Saber on a stand. He looked to the side and smiled before walking towards the portal, where Rip Hunter was waiting.
"Well done, John Starr," Rip said. "The timeline is now back in order."
"I've upheld the code of the Order of Time, Rip," John said. "Everyone is where they belong."
"Yes," Rip Hunter said. "I have a wife and son to get back to. I believe you have a family to return to as well?"
"Permission to take the year off, Sir?" Time Commander asked.
"Permission granted."
John Starr smiled before making his way further into the portal. At a house in Chicago, he embraced his wife before children walked over.
Back in the present, Ahsoka was looking out Mount Justice as it snowed. She smiled before Anakin walked over.
"You never see any weather like this on Tatooine." Anakin mused.
"And you can never beat a Christmas like this," Ahsoka said, seeing everyone still prepare for Christmas. "Tomorrow is gonna be great, Master."
"I know it will be, Snips," Anakin said. "It always is."
Katie watched everyone get together with a smile on her face. As Elsa and Tora walked towards her, she turned to them and smiled as well.
"No offense to the ORDER, but I doubt they'd know how to party." Elsa teased.
"Speaking of the ORDER, I need your help with something," Katie said. "After Christmas, after New Years… I need us to travel to the Cryoclone Factory. I need to restore the original Crystal Frost."
Meanwhile, the Ruination came out of Hyperspace. Darth Maul looked out to the Planet below and grinned.
"Crait… this will do just nicely."
