Chapter 3
Ezra's P.O.V.
The last thing I remember is being in the cave and blacking out. Then I remember hearing voices. I tried to wake up but I couldn't. I waited for a few minutes until I was finally able to open my eyes.
"Ezra are you okay?", asked Kanan.
"Yeah", I answered. I looked up to see I was with my crew in a red-ish room made of concrete. "Where are we?", I asked.
"It seems we are in a Sith temple", said Kanan, making a face.
I stood up and realized two more people were in the room talking. Their backs were to me so I couldn't see their face. One of them was a human male and the other was a togruta.
Wait… Sith Temple! How did it take me this long to process this.
"How did we get here!?", I exclaimed.
"We don't know", said Sabine, "But we need to find a way out".
"Do they know?", I asked, pointing towards the strangers.
It appears they had very good hearing because they turned around and walked towards us. I reached for my lightsaber to find it was not there.
My crew was calm so I guess I should trust them but I was still prepared in case of an attack.
"Sorry about the lightsaber, we just had the feeling you would attack us", said the female togruta as she handed me my lightsaber.
Now that I got a look at her face she really looked like a younger version of Ahsoka, around Sabine's age. The boy she was with looked to be the same age with brown hair and eyes.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Ahsoka and my friend here is Nyx", said Ahsoka.
Maybe she was a relative or something?
"Well this is Ezra, Sabine, Kanan, Zeb and I'm Hera", said Hera pointing to each of us.
"Where are we?", I asked. My crew seemed intrigued. They may already know. I don't care who tells me as long as I know!
"We are in a structure underneath Coruscant. Your friend here says it's probably a temple", said Nyx.
"Do you know how we got here?", asked Sabine.
"No. We found this place by accident. We were caught while exploring and brought here, where we found you unconscious", said Ahsoka.

Kanan's P.O.V.
This place feels strange. Not just because I'm in a Sith Temple but, because the force here is off.
"No. We found this place by accident. We were caught while exploring and brought here, where we found you unconscious", said Ahsoka.
Another strange thing is that this Ahsoka girl sounds exactly like the Ahsoka I remember seeing in the holonet and temple back in the Clone Wars. But that's just ridiculous, impossible even! Hera probably didn't know how to describe her properly or I'm just remembering incorrectly.
"Hmm. Do you know how we can get out?", I asked her. She seemed to know more about this than her companion.
"Well, from what we saw, we need two force users to get out the door", she said pointing towards a wall with a frame, "That's why we haven't gotten out yet", she said gesturing towards Nyx and herself, "But you and your blue haired friend there have lightsabers, so I was hoping you two were Jedi", she finished.
I've never seen a door like that before. The ones in the jedi temple were regular or automatic doors. I have yet to hear about a door that needs to force users to open.
"You're right. We are Jedi and we will help you, as long as you help us", said Ezra.
Was he crazy! We don't even know these people! How does he know they aren't working for the Empire?!
Before Ezra said anymore information Hera pulled us aside and excused us.
"Can we trust these people?", Sabine asked us.
"They seem to be trapped in here like us. At least we can have common ground in case they are working for the Empire", responded Hera.
"They'd owe us a favor", said Zeb in realization.
"Which could be safe passage out of Coruscant!", I finished. I just realized, they called the planet Coruscant, not Empire City…
"Sorry for interrupting but, could you hurry up? We want to get out today", said Nyx.
How rude. I think Ahsoka agrees since I saw her sighing in the background.
"Of course. Kanan, do you know how these work?", asked Ezra.
"No, not really", I answered.
He beckoned me towards the door and explained to me how we were going to open it.
"And how do you know all that?", I asked.
"We'll have time for that later. Now we should get out", said Hera interrupting.
We decided Ezra was going to open the first door. When he did, it revealed a second door, which I lifted. Everyone stepped closer to the third door that was revealed after the second one so that Ezra could let his down. Finally when Ezra opened the third door, a hallway was revealed.
Once we were all out I was finally able to drop the door quietly with Ezra following my lead.
"Come this way. We should be able to retrace our steps back to the entrance", said Ahsoka.
We followed Ahsoka and Nyx for a while when Zeb broke the silence. "So how did you know this was down here?", he asked.
"We were being chased through the alleyways when we ran into a dead end, or at least that's what we thought at first. We were able to find a secret panel on the wall that opened. We got in there before they could catch us", started Ahsoka.
"What we failed to realize was that it was an elevator. It activated and we ended up in here. I can't help but wonder how deep the planets core is if we haven't reached it yet", said Nyx.
"Who was chasing you?", I asked, hoping it would be stormtroopers. At least that way we would know they were on our side.
"None of your business", Nyx answered.
Probably a Bounty Hunter then.
"Shh", said Ahsoka, "There are guards over there. They seem to be on a shift".
We waited for a bit before Ahsoka decided she would distract them while Nyx guided us to the elevator.
Ahsoka ran past the guards and made a dive to the left corridor, the guards close behind her. Once they were out of our hearing range, we made our way towards the right corridor and continued following Nyx until we got to the elevator.
"Now we just wait for Ahsoka", said Ezra.
"I'll call her, make sure she's not captured", said Nyx grabbing his comm and walking to a corner for privacy.
"So we're just going to follow them blindly through Empire City?", asked Sabine.
"What's strange is they're calling it Coruscant, not Empire City", said Hera, "Plus they were being chase, probably by stormtroopers".
"They could be messing with us I mean, what about this Ahsoka. She looks like a younger version of Fulcrum. This could all be a hallucination!", I finished when Nyx came running back.
"Ahsoka is almost here, we should get going"-"Everyone into the elevator quickly!", said Ahsoka as she ran past us into the elevator, everyone quick to follow her.
We were all silent on the way up, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. The trip was about 15 minutes long and when we finally got up, we found ourselves in a dark alley. When I looked around I was not surprised when I didn't see a sky, since from what I could understand, we were at the bottom level of Coruscant.
