Chapter Four: Love in the Air

Disclaimer: See Chapter One
Hey, everyone. Hope you liked last chapter, and are looking forward to what kinds of What Ifs I may explore. Any suggestions for What Ifs, leave in the comments.

I know, double posting, from me? It's cause I want celebrate getting back to a normal work shift by spoiling you all with story time, hehe.

Last time, I put Mara into Rebels, to satisfy a part of me that needed it. This time, well, enjoy.
One with the Show:

Beyond Reality

Outside of time and space, there the Bedlam Spirit known as Splendid Ap floated, his Shaman of the Whills assistant sat on the floor next to him. They had just finished cataloging the second story that Ap wanted to tell. The Shaman turned the book to a blank page, ready to begin again.

As he did so, a curiosity struck him. He quickly flipped through the pages to see how much room he had to work with going forward.

Knowing what his associate was doing, "they are infinite, my friend. As you need, come future times, the book will keep giving you fresh pages to use." Ap seemed a bit smug as he told the Shaman that.

"I see. Say, My Lord, if it is not too much trouble, could I get something to sit on and perhaps a desk?" While he was happy to help the Bedlam Spirit tell these stories, he would like to be comfortable at the very least while doing it. Ap glowed with power and the items requested materialized for his assistant, and a cup of hot Caf.

Once his assistant was set, "How about we tell a smaller tale of love?"

"Sounds interesting," the Shaman said, as he prepared to begin to write for his master.

In the last couple stories, we examined beings from both sides of the Continuum in how they would affect the other. This time, we focus on those native only to one side of the Multiverse.

In Universe 42514, or the GFFA, the ones known as the Spectres considered themselves a found family, with the Mandalorian and the Jedi Padawan considering each other like siblings at times, but they would also playfully flirt with each other, going back and forth how they feel about each other.

There were several chances in the run up to the Liberation of Lothal that they could have confessed their love for each other, but never did.

However, in this new universe, things are different. Ezra never lost his crush on the Mandalorian team mate, just got better about hiding it. As for Sabine Wren, as time went on, she too developed feelings for him, it was just that they never seemed to have a chance to talk about it. The question being pondered now is What If Ezra and Sabine confessed their love?

We begin in the wake of the destruction of the Lothal Jedi Temple, after the Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger returned from the World Between Worlds. The group of heroes is still reeling from the death of one of their own, Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus. With the Liberation of Lothal quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to say what was once unsaid.

Lothal

Ezra awoke some time later after expending a lot of energy to make sure the Empire could not get their hands on the World Between Worlds. As his eyes opened, he heard Chopper warble something, he did not fully catch what the cranky droid said, but he was clearly not happy with what had happened.

As he got his surroundings, Zeb gave him his opinion on what had transpired.

"If this is what you and Kanan used to do on your Jedi missions, you can keep it," despite serving with Kanan and Ezra for a long time and having respect for their abilities, Zeb still thought some of that Jedi stuff was nonsense, or suicidally crazy.

Looking at his three companions, he noticed one was missing, "Where's Hera?" he asked.

"She's outside, Ezra, you gotta see," Sabine informed him. After taking a moment to fully get himself alert again, he went and climbed out of their stolen imperial vehicle, looking for Hera.

As he walked up to her, he seemed at a loss for what he was seeing, as he was expecting to see some trace of the Temple or the imperial outpost or something, but he only saw stark emptiness. "Where are we?"

"The Temple," Hera answered, a bit horrified at what she had witnessed happen as they fled the area.

As Ezra looked, all he saw that remained was a symbol that represented the Light Side of the Force. The same symbol he saw on the side of the artwork with the Daughter on it. He was right confused as to what happened. "What, where, I mean how?"

"You tell me," sadness seemed to overcome Hera. Ezra would be more knowledgeable about what had happened if any of them were to know anything.

"Kanan and I stood here, when we first came to the temple," Ezra was trying to make sense of the whole thing.

"He is gone now, isn't he?" Hera asked Ezra. Sabine had told her of what she had managed to figure out from Imperial logs. "I mean, really gone?"

"Yes," he answered, not wanting to hurt her anymore, but he knew she needed to hear it. They looked over the barren area for a moment. "I know what we have to do. In a way, Kanan showed me the path forward. One last lesson." As Hera turned back and walked back to the mining crawler, Ezra stayed a moment, looking at where the Temple had been. In the far distance, under the rising sun, Ezra saw a Loth-wolf, the one that seemed to represent Kanan, looked toward them and then turned and ran into the light.

"Goodbye, Kanan" Ezra said as he saw the Loth-wolf disappear into the horizon. He was now on his own for his path as a Jedi, and yet he did not know if he could call himself a Jedi Knight, as Kanan never knighted him. With the Lothal Temple either gone or inaccessible, he had no way of contacting Master Yoda and he had promised Master Kenobi that he would never return to Tatooine. He did not know what the future would be and that was the hard part without his Master. He turned to head back toward the transport they had stolen to escape the collapsing temple, to find Sabine there, still in her scout trooper armor. He had to admit to himself that she looked good in that armor, with her black and purple hair. Then again, she always looked good in armor. As he looked upon her, he couldn't help but think of the early days with his one-sided crush on her, and how she was not into it at the time. However, over the few years he had been with the Spectres, they had grown closer, and if he said something flirty, she would hit back and vice versa.

He knew she felt the same as he did in that moment, by the look in her eyes, he could tell they were both thinking the same thing. He walked up to her, "It's been a long road, hasn't it, Sabine?"

"It has, looking back when we found you, or rather you found us, it has been quite the adventure." Her arms crossed in front of her, a half smile on her face.

"It's just been a lot these past few days, losing Kanan and everything. I had a chance to save him, while I was in there, but if I did, we all would have died. I refused and learned to let him go," he left out the part about saving Ahsoka, until she returned to Phoenix Squadron.

"Yeah, it hurts to think about. What was in there?" Sabine asked curious about what Ezra found in the temple. She had learned enough from Imperial logs, but she wanted it confirmed.

"A World Between Worlds, the Emperor tried to get in, but couldn't and I made sure to close the connection so that the Empire could not get in." He told her only half of it, as Ahsoka was the other part, and he did not know when she would return to them, and he did not want to get anyone's hopes up about her returning soon. Though, they could really use her help right now, without Kanan.

Silence fell between the two friends, it had indeed been a long road to where they were now. They stood upon the brink of achieving the goal of liberating Lothal, and yet there was a bit of concern now that Kanan was gone.

Ezra knew that he had to tell Sabine how he felt now, in case he did not get another chance. Especially as he thought out his plans to get rid of the Grand Admiral to give the Rebellion as a whole a chance to overthrow the Empire, not just from Lothal.

He decided that the time was now to tell her how he felt. "Look, 'Bine. With all that is going on and the assault to free Lothal coming up, I don't want anything unsaid between us. The Jedi Order is gone, Kanan is gone, and it's up to me to define what it means to be one now without them." He was starting to ramble, unsure about what he was trying to tell her.

Fortunately, she knew what he was trying to say, as she felt it too. In the time she had been back home on Krownest, plotting the liberation of her father and of Mandalore, her mother had questioned her on her plans to get married. Her mother was a bit worried, as in the wake of the Civil War between Maul's Super Commandos and the Mandalorian Resistance and the Empire bringing the Planet under their rule, their people were thinning. Not to mention their culture's habits of living fast and dying young. Sabine knew it well, when she faced Gar Saxon in a lightsaber duel, using Ezra's blade. It had been on her mind lately as well, especially after losing Kanan. She knew that is perhaps the best chance they had to air their feelings before everything went down to free the planet.

Both of them got closer to each other. Sabine was the one that started it. She hugged him and pressed her lips to his. After a moment of surprise at the quickness of it, he returned it. It was a kiss well earned. All their adventures, all the flirting with each other over the years, everything they had been fighting for, this was the moment that made it worth it. It was love, pure and true. When both needed air, they broke apart and leaned their heads against the others. "I love you," both of them admitted to each other.

Hera poked her head out to see what was keeping both two younger Spectres and saw them having a moment. She half smiled at the sight, as she thought in sadness about Kanan. Underneath her pilot gloves that she always wears, she had a ring on her finger. Kanan had found it in supplies that they had stolen a while back from an Imperial Officer on mission, from before they met Zeb and the rest. They never acknowledged it publicly, or even around the others, but in many ways, they were married for years. Just before she left with the Tie Defender's data recorder, Kanan had been trying to talk to her about settling down, and she kissed him publicly to assure him that everything was going to go alright, of course it hadn't. Soon after she headed back inside the vehicle, the two of them broke apart and headed back themselves.

As they rode back to the Ghost in silence, Ezra was starting to wonder if he shouldn't do what he was planning now that he and Sabine confessed their love for each other. However, he knew that duty came first, and he needed to give the Rebellion a chance to survive. If Grand Admiral Thrawn was not dealt with, the Rebel Alliance was finished, before they got their shot. He told Ahsoka to come find him when she got back, but now he had to tell Sabine as well. That was going to be a lot more difficult. It would be something that would remain on his mind in the week leading up to freeing his planet.

A Standard Week Later, Battle of Lothal

The plan had gone well, they had all Imperial ground forces in the dome and they were ready to launch it and blow it, until Thrawn began lancing the city below with the Chimaera's turbolaser cannons. In order to stop it, Ezra agreed to surrender to the Admiral, and he was about to do that. He already had planned to surrender to Thrawn, just not that he would bombard civilians like he did. As the rest of the Rebels were discussing options to deal with Thrawn to stop him from blasting civilians using the Command Center's shield generators, Chopper quietly opened the air vent hatch in the ceiling. Chopper knew what Ezra had to do, one of the only people that knew his full plan. "One last time," he said to himself, as he looked at the open hatch for a moment. Looking back down, he saw Sabine looking at him in concern for what he was going to do, now that they confessed their love. His heart hurt as he looked at her, he knew this was painful, but he had to go. As he looked at her, the Force whispered to him, as he began to feel the Force in her as well. He thought he had sensed it before, but now it was confirmed. The look Sabine was giving him told him that he had to say goodbye to her first before he left. He silently walked over to her, as the others were discussing ideas. They gave each other a goodbye kiss, and when they broke it, "goodbye Sabine, take care of things for me." He secretly clipped his lightsaber to her hip in front of one of her blasters. She would need it more than he would. "Come find me," he whispered in her ear and then broke their hug to do what he needed to do.

Acting on instinct, Sabine took his hand in hers and did something unexpected to him, in the name of love. "Ezra, one last thing, if you agree, repeat it, so I know you'll come back to me: Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde."

Ezra froze for a moment, he knew what those words were. Sabine had told him what they were a long time ago when he wanted to learn some Mando'a just in case they needed to communicate secretly undercover. They were the Mandalorian marriage vows, while they had just started their relationship, it was also in a Mandalorian's nature to live fast and die young. In Galactic Basic, they translated as: We are one when together, we are one when parted, we will share all, we will raise warriors.

Thinking for a moment, he made a decision, "Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde," he repeated. One last kiss to seal the deal, she went to distract the others so that he could leave to do what he needed to do. He used the Force to leap up into the ceiling as she did.

Aboard Thrawn's flagship, Chimaera

Upon landing in the Destroyer's hanger, Ezra was disarmed of his blaster and handcuffed. He was then led through a series of hallways, to the Grand Admiral's office. As the troopers lead him inside, he saw the blue face and red eyes of his foe, sitting behind his desk.

"It was a wise decision for you to surrender," Thrawn's usual calm tone as ever an annoyance for the young Jedi. it made him seem all the more alien that he never openly displayed emotion.

"I didn't have much choice," Ezra responded, despite it still being part of the plan in a way. The Stormtroopers that were guarding him turned and left the room to give the two of them a bit of privacy.

"Oh, nonsense. You could have chosen to let your people die." That got under Ezra's skin a bit. Both relating to his ties to Lothal and his values as a Jedi to protect the innocent. Thrawn continued as he stood up, and walked over to look at the statues behind his desk. "However, you chose to be a Jedi. Predictable. You follow a long history written by the Jedi, where they choose what they believe to be morally correct, instead of what is strategically sound." Ever the cold, logical, military mind of the Empire at work, in Ezra's opinion.

"And yet the Jedi have survived," Ezra countered, hoping to either prove Thrawn wrong or to unnerve him.

"Hmm, the Jedi once numbered in the thousands. What's left are a scattered, frightened lot, mostly beaten and in hiding, or poorly trained children like yourself." Thrawn said as he walked around the room. Ezra knew what he was implying from the stories he heard from Kanan about the end of the Clone Wars, when Order 66 came down and most of the Order was wiped out, then they were hunted by Vader and his Inquisitors. Thrawn stopped at the front of his desk and picked up the Jedi Temple Guard mask he had, "I will admit, the mysteries of the Force are an enigma to me, but for all those abilities, all that power, the Jedi lacked the vision on how to wield it."

Ezra knew he had to correct the Imperial on that, it was a difference between the Jedi and the Sith on how they saw the Force. "The Force isn't a weapon, but you'll never understand that." All the Empire cared about was how it could take and use something.

"Oh, but I do not have to," Thrawn put the mask down. "It was not my intention to utterly destroy Lothal, but that is inevitable now." He seemed disappointed that the Rebels seemed to force his hand. He walked over to his collection of items, taken from Lothal. "These are a few of the artifacts I have gathered from your homeworld." Ezra saw that chief among them was a painting done by Sabine of a Loth-cat and the symbol of Phoenix Squadron. "I've even taken some of Sabine Wren's art work. She is quite talented, or rather was quite talented," the Grand Admiral commented.

That set Ezra off, what the Admiral was implying about his new wife, referring to her as if she was already dead. Not while he still drew breath, would he allow that to happen. "You think you can take whatever you want, things you didn't make, didn't earn, things you don't even understand! You don't deserve this art, or Lothal!" As he spoke with the Grand Admiral, the thought crossed his mind, Especially not my wife's work, not like he was going to let Thrawn know that, so he could use it against him.

"Who deserves what is irrelevant, what matters is who has power. However, that is something the Jedi will not teach you, so I will take you to someone who will." Thrawn told the Jedi before him. Ezra got a bad feeling he already knew who it was, from his encounter with the Sith Lord in the World between Worlds. He was right, of course, when Thrawn brought him before a hologram of the Emperor in another part of the ship.

"My Emperor, I have brought you Ezra Bridger," Thrawn said to the hologram in front of them.

The holo turned to address them, showing the face of a kindly-looking old man in white robes. "My dear boy, I have so wanted to meet you, and here you are at last." Ezra knew it was a trick, considering what had happened last week. "That will be all, Grand Admiral." The holo of what the Emperor could have looked like, a benevolent grandfather figure, dismissed his agent.

"Forgive me, my boy, for not being there in person. Governing the galaxy takes up so much of my time."

"I know who you are, and what you are," Ezra said with spite, knowing the Sith Lord before him.

"You misjudge me, do you not see the opportunity that stands before you?" the holo motioned to the remains of the Lothal Jedi Temple.

"I only see a section of the Jedi Temple which you stole from Lothal," Ezra pointedly said.

"Forgive me, I thought you would thank me for having this portion of the Temple moved here, for you," the holo said with seeming disappointment.

"Thank you? For destroying the Temple? For imprisoning my people, for killing my parents?" Ezra was angry with the Emperor for everything his Empire did to Lothal.

"My boy, remember, it was you who decided to destroy the temple. The actions of your Rebel friends require firm hands to ensure there is peace and order on Lothal. As for your parents, allow me to offer a gift: a chance of what could have been," The Emperor said. To Ezra, a Sith Lord offering a gift to a Jedi was a sign of trouble, and Ezra was expecting a trap. As the Emperor offered him the door, he cautiously approached expecting something to be wrong.

He heard his mother's voice call him for dinner, he was stunned. The Emperor had found a way to use the Jedi Temple to open a time portal back to when his parents were alive. "They are waiting for you, go to them," the Emperor encouraged. Ezra nearly walked into the temple, but then he thought of his wife and that stopped him. "It is the life you deserve, is it not?" the Emperor asked. The hologram looked at him in study for a moment, and then realized what was going on. The young Jedi was in love with someone in the present. "Ah, you are in love with someone, the Mandalorian of your little band of Rebels. Love, forbidden by the Jedi, and have led many to their falls," the Emperor said, silently thinking about Vader.

"Yes, and it is that love that makes me able to refuse you, your majesty." Ezra reached out with the Force and tore down the section of the Jedi Temple to keep it from the Sith.

"No!" the hologram shouted as it changed from the kindly grandfather visage, to that of Darth Sidious.

"You're wrong, by the way, I already have a family. I don't need what you offer me," he firmly said.

"Unfortunate," the hooded visage of the Emperor said. The door behind Ezra opened and three Royal guards ran in, Force pikes at the ready. "Destroy Him!"

To get out of the predicament he was faced with, being held up in the air by the Force pikes and having troopers shooting at him, he had to reach out with the Force and throw the destroyed pieces of the temple at the troopers.

Imperial Dome

As the two teams of Rebels ran out of the control room to take the shield generator room to get it active, Hera and Sabine stayed behind. Hera had a look of concern on her face. "What is it?" Sabine asked, masking her own concern.

"I just hope Ezra is okay," Hera commented.

"He knows what he is doing," Sabine said to try to reassure Hera, but also to reassure herself.

"You married him, while the rest of us were talking, didn't you?" Hera asked Sabine.

Sabine looked at Hera with a look of surprise, "how did you know?"

"I overheard Mando'a, and considering I saw you two kiss last week, I knew it had to be the vows," Hera said with a slight smirk.

"Yeah, I did, it was a spur of the moment thing, but I felt it in my heart that I had to do it. Look, we can discuss this later, let's get this shield up," Sabine turned back to the task at hand. As she walked up to the control panel, she felt something bounce off her leg as she walked. She quickly glanced down at her weapon belt and saw Ezra's lightsaber. A moment of confusion crossed her face as to why he gave it to her, but she would figure that out later.

"You know, you're not the only one of us to marry a Jedi," Hera said as she took her left glove off, showing the ring on her finger briefly before putting the glove back on.

"You can tell me that story later, for now, let's get this done," Sabine said as she went to look over the control panels.

Chimaera Bridge

Thrawn heard the blast doors behind him open and heard two blaster shots, and two Death Troopers hit the deck, dead. He knew it was the Jedi, and turned to face him.

"Looks like you lose, Thrawn," Ezra commented, as he had noticed that his team managed to get the shields up as Thrawn was about to resume bombardment.

"A momentary setback," Thrawn always had a backup plan.

"We'll see," Ezra cocked the blaster upwards a bit toward him.

"Sir, several unidentified objects have just entered orbit," the radar officer informed him.

"My blockade will intercept them," Thrawn barely glanced over his shoulder at the officer.

"They destroyed the blockade, our ships are just gone," the officer told the Admiral to his shock.

Turning to bark an order, "Get Captain Pellaeon." Ezra noted that he had seemingly unnerved the stoic Admiral, that in itself was a victory. Getting in contact with the other Imperial Officer was not more illuminating on what happened as it cut off before the most important information was shared and then the radar officer alerted him that they had incoming threats. Thrawn turned to look out the viewport.

It was then that something happened that Thrawn could never have planned for, with all the information he had on his opponents. They had called upon the Purgill to help them, and they were destroying the two other Star Destroyers flanking the Chimera.

"What happens next, happens to both of us," Thrawn said, as both him and Ezra held each other at blaster point.

"That's the idea," Ezra said with a smirk. The windows shattered and the creature's arms reached and started taking out troopers. As Thrawn tried to make a break for it, Ezra force pushed him into several of the arms wrapping around the bridge, to contain the Admiral.

Ezra's comlink beeped, "Ezra, can you hear me? The Purgill, is this you?" his wife's voice came over the comms.

"Yeah, pretty good, right?" he asked her back.

"Wish you would have told me that," she said, a bit annoyed at being left out of that part of the plan.

"I wanted it to be a surprise," he said, then had to fend off troopers as the Purrgill were getting ready to make the jump.

"Ezra, get out of there now, That is an order!" Hera's voice came over the comms, having noticed what was going on.

"Sorry, Hera, I have to see this through to the end. Sabine, I love you and always will." He shut off his comlink to do what had to happen.

As the Purgill wrapped its tentacles around the Admiral, and Ezra reached out with the Force to create an air bubble to survive the trip, his last thoughts before entering hyperspace were of Sabine. "The Force will be with you, always, my dear." Then, it happened. The Purgill activated its natural hyperdrive and took both him and Thrawn and the entire Chimera with them to places unknown. His plan worked, now all he had to worry about was surviving the trip.

Command Center

Sabine could only watch in horror as the Chimera disappeared with the space whales, taking the enemy and her new husband with them. It was only when Commander Wolffe radioed in and told them that the skies were clear that she snapped out of it, and realized that Ezra had given them the chance they needed to finish this. "Chopper, activate the thrusters," she ordered and Chopper did it.

"Mart, we are gonna need that pickup," Hera said into her comlink.

"On my way," the boy's voice came back.

Soon enough though, it became clear that it would not be easy to get out there. Troopers managed to blast through the doors and a firefight began. As the Rebels traded fire with the Imperials, Sabine grabbed her husband's lightsaber from her belt and used it to cut through the transparisteel window to give them an exit.

As they managed to get away from the dome before it blew, Sabine had to replay the events of the past few hours in head, especially her impromptu marriage, and how she was going to explain to her parents that not only did she marry a Jedi, but said Jedi husband was off in places unknown right now. She would never hear the end of it. She also thought of the fact that her mother would be on her to find Ezra so that they can set some roots down together as the warrior ways are dying, or rather the clan was dying as it were.

Ten Years later, Unknown Galaxy, Perida.

It took a decade and a journey with the enemy to an unknown galaxy, but in the end, Sabine had found him. As Sabine wandered through the cute little settlement, she was glad to see people trying to survive out here, also wondering if her guide had led her to the right place.

"Hey Sabine, I knew I could count on you," she heard an all too familiar voice behind her call out to her. She turned and saw a black bearded human hermit. It took her a second to realize it, but it was his eyes that gave him away. She knew it was him, even without needing the Force to confirm it.

She cocked a half smile at him, "hello, husband," her voice full of her usual snark.

"I will say, it took you long enough," he commented on how long he had been there.

"Not like you told anyone where you were going," she said, still angry with him about not telling her what was going on, even after she married him.

"That's because even I didn't know where I was going," he defended himself.

"Always a plan with you, but never really a good one," she playfully accused him.

"Well, it worked, didn't it?" He asked, when she did not immediately answer, he got concerned. "Didn't it?" He did everything to give the Rebellion a chance to survive, otherwise Thrawn would have not only defeated them, but would also crush the rest of the Alliance, before they could do any real work.

She sighed and answered, "It worked." Both of them embraced and kissed each other, having missed the other so much in their separation. When they broke their joyful kiss, she had to comment on something. "Not sure I like the beard, it hides your handsome face."

"I'll shave when we get home," he said with a smirk.

"Good, speaking of home, you missed a lot," she told him, thinking about all that happened, the death of the Emperor, the Fall of the Empire, Hera giving birth to Jacen, her Jedi training, everything else.

"I bet, you can fill me in on everything, but first," He turned to the Noti, and said something in their language that she did not understand. "We never stay in one place for long, let's help them pack up." As they started on that task, he turned back to her, "I am so glad you came, dear," he smirked.

"I am too, honey," she smiled at him.

Outside Reality

So it was that Ezra and Sabine confessed their love to each other and married. While this change seemed minor, in the long term, it would have major consequences. When the heroes assaulted the Fortress to stop Thrawn's escape, Sabine was able to join Ezra on the return trip aboard the Chimaera, which unfortunately stranded Ahsoka and Huyang on Peridea. However, Ahsoka felt it was the will of the Force that she remained there to finish what she needed to finish, and Home needed the two Spectres. Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati were still here and needed to be stopped.

Ezra and Sabine would return to the New Republic, and reunite with their old comrades. Chopper gave them away when they got out of Baylan's shuttle dressed as Night Troopers. They would go on to help the New Republic defeat the returned Grand Admiral and get to enjoy a bit of peace for a few years.

Ezra would go on to train Jacen Syndulla in the ways of the Force, as well as he and Sabine would have a daughter, who they would name Jaina Wren-Bridger. When Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker called, Ezra tried to see if he and his family could join, but Luke was afraid that their attachments to each other could lead them down a dark path, as he had learned from the material that old Ben had left behind, and what Ahsoka had told him of his father's fall and why she sent Grogu to learn from him and not her, after what happened with training Sabine. The Galaxy would have peace until the First Order rose again from the Unknown Regions. By that time though, both Spectres had retired and were trying to live in peace on Lothal. A peace they had earned.

As Splendid Ap finished his narration and his assistant finished writing his master's words, the Shaman had to comment on this one. "Well, this was a nice wholesome change. Did not affect things too much, but it was nice."

"Indeed, that is the secret of the Multiverse, you know. Not every universe is majorly different from the ones at the ends of the continuum." Ap informed him. A thought crossed his mind as he looked upon the continuum, on the left side of it. There was a universe he knew of that had diverged during the Clone Wars where a Death Watch member saved their sister and the course of fate was changed forever, he also thought of it due to how it combined many elements of both pillar universes at both ends of the continuum. It was an oddity among the multiverse as it were, and Ap never even touched it as it did its thing on its own. Perhaps one day they will look in on it

"Where do you call home, Mighty Ap?" The Shaman asked, shaking the Bedlam Spirit from his thoughts.

"My home? Well, that is a difficult question you ask. In some ways, my home is here, beyond the veil. In other ways, it is Universe 1138 at the far left end of the Multiverse, same as you, my friend." Ap was an extra-dimensional entity of deific power and yet even he did not know where home really was. He and the other three Spirits never really settled before.

"I see, where are we off to next?" the Shaman asked.

"Since you commented on small changes, let me tell a bigger tale," Ap said, and then began to work his abilities to weave a completely new tale.

The portal viewer shifted along the continuum until it found its focus. It was still in the era of the Dark Times, but this time the person of interest was that of the former Pirate King of Florrum.

Hey, everyone, hope you all enjoyed that.

Personally, I am an Ezrabine shipper, yeah I know what the Ahsoka show said, but I say you can be close friends like they were and still have a relationship. Anyway, I swear, end of world between worlds would have been perfect for a kiss to confirm their relationship.

Also, I am of the belief that Kanan and Hera have been secretly married the whole show, and that when we see them talking about their relationship in S4, I think they are really talking about if they want to settle down and focus on themselves. Knowing Disney, they would not allow them to be just friends with benefits to explain how Jacen Syndulla happened. Kanan and Hera were probably trying for kids anyway, and well, we know how that turns out for them. Speaking of Jacen, yes I decided to make Ezra and Sabine's kid be named Jaina, you EU nerds like me will understand this one.

Anyway, Next time, A what if that is not based on an episode of Rebels, which is fun. I'll see you all later. Be good.
