Chapter 9
Ezra's P.O.V.
"Ugh", I heard as I stood up, whether it was from me or someone else I'm not sure.
We got ready and one by one we got out of the tight room, for hopefully, the last time.
We had breakfast with the girls and walked out of the temple for what might be the last time. I sensed that Kanan was sad, but it's not the time to talk about it, not in front of everyone.
Master Fisto was leading us through the underworld and down the Sith temple. I looked around at what would become Empire City.
It looks pretty bad in the lower levels. I wonder how it must look in my time, if its bad now…
We made it to the temple, "Well, what do you do at this point?", asked Master Fisto.
"I think we should go to the room where we first appeared, that way we can find what brought us here", said Kanan leading the way.
Once we made it to the front of the room we turned to Master Fisto and Hera said, "It might be best if you stay out here, we wouldn't want you to go to the future with us".
Kanan nodded and proceeded to lift the first door. Right, I forgot about this part…
"If we're not out in 15 minutes, we found a way to leave", said Hera.
I started lifting the second door and soon we were once again trapped in the red brick room we first woke up in.
"What do we do now?", said Sabine.
We were all looking around, I was looking on the floor, Sabine and Zeb were on wall duty and Hera was checking pillars.
Meanwhile, Kanana was using the force to see if he could trigger something. What if we were too optimistic? What of we never get back home?
No Ezra! Don't think like this! We will find a wa…

I was the last one to wake up, again. It was dark around us so I turned my lightsaber on for light.
"We're back in the cave!", exclaimed Sabine.
I walked out slowly to see there was no one attacking us and, it was night?
"Huh, time passed here too", pointed out Zeb looking at the Shili night.
"I-I guess we should head to the village", said Hera walking to the West.
We followed her until we finally arrived. Huh, I didn't know she knew the way here.
We went to the middle of town and Hera entered a big tent, "Can you start grabbing those crates, we're taking them to the ship", she said.
After an hour of waiting Hera came out and signaled us to leave the town.
"What was that about?", asked Kanan.
"The chief wanted to talk about some things, nothing very important", she said quickly, speeding ahead.
We caught up to her, "Well it was important enough to take up an hour", said Sabine.
"I'd tell you, but I'm too tired and you wouldn't like it", she said.
We didn't talk the rest of the way, Hera had created a, tense, environment. She never did that.
What if Malachor affected her more than I thought? Is this my fault?
Hera turned around and smiled at me before going into the ship. Weird…
We left the supplies and went to our rooms, except for Hera who went to the cockpit with Chopper to set a course to Raada.
"Hey Ezra, can I talk to you for a moment?", asked Sabine. I nodded and we entered her room locking it.
"Is it me or is Hera acting weird?", asked Sabine.
"Honestly, I think we're all acting weird".
"True, but she has that secret compartment in her room", she mentioned.
"When are we going to check it out?", I exclaimed.
"I was going to say we shouldn't, but honestly I think we should now", she said.
That doesn't answer my question. I stood there staring at her.
"Maybe tomorrow while she pilots the ship", she said, "But we need a plan to go in there".
"If you think Hera is acting suspicious, I don't think it's a good idea to go in there now. She might be there constantly", I said.
Sabine thought it over and nodded.
"Maybe we should wait a while, but lets plan now! It might be the middle of the night, but technically we've been awake for a few hours", she said.
I laughed and nodded, sitting down and starting a plan to find out what Hera was hiding in her room.
The End.
