Chapter 4
"Welcome to the lowest level of Coruscant!", said Nyx.
"From what it appears they left. Where are you all going?", asked Ahsoka, looking at me and my crew.
"We don't know. Just somewhere the imperials won't find us", I said.
"Imperials? Do you come from another planet or something? We live in a democratic planet, well at least it's supposed to be", said Nyx.
"Kanan", said Hera in a low whisper, so only I could here, "I'm getting the feeling we traveled to the past".
That's impossible! What did that cave do? That would mean the Jedi are still alive. This HAS to be a dream.
"Are you sure we are on Coruscant?", asked Sabine skeptically.
"Sadly yes", said Ahsoka. She seemed annoyed, but not at us.
"Wait! If we are in the past, that means that it is Ahsoka!", I told Hera in realization.
This feels so weird. What would she be doing here and not in the temple? The temple! That's where we should go. They might be able to help us.
"Can you take us to the Jedi Temple?", I said.
Nyx and Ahsoka shared a look and turned around for a minute. They then turned back and nodded, Ahsoka looking a bit nervous.
"If you want to go that high up we should start moving now. You can stay at our place if you want. It's about halfway", said Ahsoka in a serious tone.

Sabine's P.O.V.
We followed the two 'know it all's' through the city. While I was relieved the Empire wasn't here, I could still see all the people suffering in every level. Though it got better as we went up.
We were quiet most of the way. I don't think it was because of the awkwardness, at least not entirely. We were in the most dangerous areas of the planet. It was better if we didn't make contact with anyone. Ahsoka even pulled up her hood.
Nyx at one point ran in another direction while Ahsoka kept guiding us. He didn't say why but, he met us two levels up after, so we all kept walking quietly without an issue.
From what I studied, I could assume we were in the Clone Wars-Era, since Ahsoka was here and the Jedi were still alive.
We finally made it to their 'home'. It was a workshop that had a platform facing the giant hole where ships flew up and down through city levels. It also had a door where people on the level could come in, aka the way we got in.
"Does anyone want to eat?", asked Ahsoka. Nyx went somewhere in the shop. It had lots of shelves filled with ship and speeder parts.
"No thanks", said Kanan, "We'll just rest for the night and continue tomorrow".
We all looked around after Ahsoka went to look for some blankets. We were all confused I mean, Ahsoka's a Jedi so she shouldn't live here but she seemed very serious about this being her 'home'.
The only crew member that seemed to know what was going on was Hera. I'll ask her about it later, she's probably examining the parts on the shelf she's facing.
Ahsoka came back and gave us all blankets apologizing she didn't have anywhere we could sleep that was more comfortable than the floor.
The Next Day
"Alright. Rise and Shine!", shouted Ahsoka, "It's a good time to start heading to the temple". She said something else I didn't understand.
I slowly stood up with the rest of the crew, Ezra being the last.
"Is Nyx coming with us?", asked Hera. It was probably best if we knew he wasn't reporting us or something.
"He has to run an errand. Anyways lets get going", answered Ahsoka.
The way up was mostly the same as yesterday's except this time, the people weren't really suffering for the most part and by the third level people appeared to have middle-class lives.
Ahsoka seemed uncomfortable and looked shady, compared to everyone else in this level at least, because of the cloak she was wearing. She didn't draw attention to herself which I found weird. Wouldn't she be more comfortable the closer she got to her home…I think?
By the time we got to the first level I saw all of the rich people that lived luxuriously. I can't believe it! Even without the Empire people were still suffering while the government (and rich) lived without a care in the world!
We finally made it to the front of the Temple. There were a lot of stairs. It didn't seem to be guarded, but we could never be too careful.
"This is where I leave you", said Ahsoka.
"Why? Aren't you coming inside?", asked Ezra.
"Sorry, I have a job and I really need the money. Plus I'd rather not face any Jedi in there, you shouldn't have a problem though. They'll hear you out and know if you're telling the truth. They might not have time to help you because of the war, but they'll let you stay. If not, you can stay with Nyx and I", she said before turning and walking away.
Kanan reached for her arm and grabbed her saying, "Why won't you come with us. Aren't you a jedi?", he asked confused.
Ahsoka slipped out of his grasp and said, "You've clearly stayed away from the news for a very long time. Good luck getting back to your time" And with that she left.
So we time traveled? That makes a little bit of sense. Double take, how does Ahsoka know? She must've felt it in the force or something.
"Well, time to go in", said Kanan. This must be so hard for him.
We started walking up the stairs. It was uneventful most of the way until we got to the top.
"Who are you and how did you get in?", asked a voice from behind us.
