Chapter 5
Kanan's P.O.V.
"Who are you and how did you get in?", asked a familiar male voice from behind us.
"We must speak to the Jedi Council immediately", I said, getting straight to the point.
"You didn't answer the question, who are you?", he said reaching for his lightsaber.
I didn't know how to answer, and by the silence, no one else knew either. Instead I stared and examined the man. I think he's Eeth Koth, he could probably help us!
"Well, my name is Ezra, this is Sabine, Hera, Zeb and Kanan", Ezra said pointing to us when he mentioned our name, "And we have stumbled into a strange situation that only you might believe", he said.
As if that didn't sound weird. "What my friend is saying is that we aren't really from here and a friend told us you could help with our specific situation", said Hera.
Eeth stared at us for a second, especially at me and Ezra, with a few glances to the others until saying, "I'll let you in as long as you answer me this, are you Jedi?".
I thought the question over. Am I a Jedi? It's been a long time since I considered myself a true Jedi, with my feelings for Hera and all, and considering that in our time it's dangerous to be a Jedi…NO! Ever since Ezra came I became a Jedi once again.
None of my thoughts mattered though, because by the time I had my answer Ezra had already answered yes.
"Follow me, I will take you to the council room", said Eeth.
He walked us in, obviously deep in thought for some reason. My crew followed them, never having been to the temple, but as soon as I went in I knew the way to the council room where my master and I would get our missions, or in my case, get scolded by the council.
Once we reached the council room we walked in and Eeth called a meeting. After a few minutes the meeting started.
"I found these strangers walking into the temple. They asked for help and I believe this was the disturbance in the force", he said, going to his seat.
"What do you want to tell us? If you hadn't noticed, the war has taken a toll on us and we don't have time to waste", said Master Windu.
"We believe we have time-travelled into the past. We don't know how, but we just know this isn't the time or place we were last at. To us all of these events have already happened", said Sabine. Nice of her to be taking initiative.
Guess it's better to be direct than avoid the inevitable.
"WHAT? Do you really expect us to believe that?! If you don't have anything useful to say stop wasting our time", said Windu, to be expected.
"If you don't believe us, sense it in the force. We were that disturbance you felt!", said Ezra.
"And we might have some news that you may find interesting anyways", said Hera.
"And what may that be?", asked Kit Fisto.
I caught the glance Hera had given me and immediately knew what she was playing at.
"If you help us find out what happened, we may tell you", I said. I really wanted to tell them but - I remember something like this happened when I was a youngling.
A group of strangers came into the temple and told the council about a supposed 'Sith Temple' in exchange for help. WE are those strangers, or were…
"Sense the truth I do", said master Yoda.
"So do I, as ridiculous as your story may sound, there must be an explanation", said Ki Adi Mundi, "Master Fisto take these people outside while we reach a conclusion", and that he did.
We went outside the council room and stood in an awkward silence for a moment before Fisto asked to talk to me. We walked for a few hallways while my crew stayed behind and waited until no one was around.
"So, are you from the future? If you are, can you tell us how to win the war?", he asked.
Flashbacks suddenly came back to me about the day the Jedi fell. I wanted to tell him so badly, but I knew I shouldn't. It could affect the future of my crew, whether it be good or bad, things had already happened and I couldn't just change them. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
"I-I can't say that, it could change the whole future", I answered.
He seemed to understand and decided to continue the conversation anyways, "So, how far into the future are you from?", he asked.
"I lived in this time. I remember it clearly. We are from 17-18 years into the future if I know when it is right now", I said.
"Well we should go back, I want to talk with someone else in your crew before the council talks to you again", he said.
We walked all the way back to the crew. I was expecting him to talk to Ezra but I was surprised he went to talk to Hera.
"Don't you find it weird that he wanted to talk to Hera and not Ezra?", asked Sabine.
"Maybe he 'sensed' the aura of authority in Hera", said Zeb. He kind of had a point.
By the time Hera and Fisto came back, the council asked for us. We walked through the halls, younglings staring at us. We made it to the council room.
We walked inside and started talking to the council.
"We have decided to help you, if you help us. You and the boy are Jedi right?", asked Windu.
"Yes", I mumbled.
"Then you could help us with a 'job' of sorts. To prove you are truly helping us, you will help us solve a mystery", said master Mundi, "An anonymous person has tipped us off about a supposed attack planned against us. Because of what has happened in the past, we aren't willing to take any chances".
"We want you to help us figure out whether it's true or not and what this attack will be", said Windu.
"With all do respect, why would you trust a bunch of strangers with something like this? You said attacks have happened before so wouldn't it be stupid to trust strangers?", said Hera.
"You make an excellent point. While we don't completely trust you, we were trying to see if you're part of the trick", said Windu.
Attack… attack… I remember there was another attack after the bombing, but not to the temple in general… it was towards one of the COUNCIL MEMBERS!
"If I remember correctly, I know the attack you're talking about and you shouldn't take it lightly. The attack wasn't towards the temple, it was towards a council member!", I stated.
I know they sensed the truth and their faces were those of concerned and worried people. I know what I said scared them, but it was the truth.
"Those are certainly news. Anything else you'd like to tell us?", Windu asked.
I looked around and my crew came to a silent agreement. "We discovered a Sith Temple underneath Coruscant", I said.
"Outside you should go. Wait for more instructions, you will", said Yoda.
We decided to follow orders and went outside.
