*This story is inspired by a couple of other stories I have read with this type of thing, including Talk of the Past by Happy Doodle. You should really check it out :D

Ezra walked slowly down the halls of the Ghost. They were stopped on some random planet, waiting for orders from Ahsoka. The others were asleep, but for some reason he couldn't. It was like there was something for him to find there, something for him to see. He made his way off the Ghost stealthily, though the crew was sleeping like the dead, or like Zeb at least, and none of them heard him leave. He made his way to a nearby cave, following the nagging, pulling feeling.

As he walked through the dark insides of the cave, the air seemed to change in a way he couldn't quite describe. But the feeling persisted, so he didn't stop or turn back. It was as if he was sleep walking, having no control really over where he was going or anything, though if he had truly tried he would have found he could. Suddenly the sounds of lightsabers hissing as they ignited followed by two meeting came to his ears. He quickened his pace, though he was careful not to be noticed on the chance he had found more Inquisitors.

He broke through into the light of day and not to many feet away he saw a Jedi that looked like Ahsoka, though closer to his own age, fighting a robot looking thing that had four lightsabers. Nearby was the unconscious form of a man with dark brown hair. There was a semi familiar sense about the man, one that Ezra couldn't quite place, maybe he had passed him on the street or something at one time or another. His attention was drawn back to the battle and he could tell that the young Jedi was having some trouble keeping the robot thing at bay and away from her Master.

He aimed with his gun and shot, getting a hit that stunned the dark Jedi and causing him to cry out in a weird, metallic yet raspy voice. The bolt from Ezra's gun had caused the arms on the right side of his body to malfunction and they now hung limply at his side. "This isn't over Jedi. I will be back." He yelled at the other young Jedi before taking off. Ezra could tell that the other young Jedi thought about following the dark Jedi, but instead knelt briefly by her Master's side before standing and heading in Ezra's direction.

"Who's out there? Show yourself!" she yelled at the bushes Ezra hid behind. Ezra saw no reason to stay hidden and came out like she told him. "Who are you?" she asked cautiously, holding her lightsaber out towards him, ready to take him down. "Ezra." He replied, "Who are you?" She studied him a moment longer, before slowly lowering her weapon and saying, "I'm Padawan Ahsoka Tano, that's my Master Anakin Skywalker lying on the ground over there."

It took all of Ezra's control not to show any emotion at the mention of her name. How is it possible that this was Ahsoka? Yet he could tell in the Force that this was the same Ahsoka he knew, just younger. What had happened? Ahsoka felt the mild surprise Ezra couldn't hold back roll off of him and asked, "Have you heard of us?" Ezra nodded and said, "You're Jedi aren't you?" Ahsoka nodded and said, "That's right. We were sent here on a mission, though we were told it was uninhabited."

"Oh I'm not from here, I just got here recently myself and not on purpose either. What was that you were fighting?" Ahsoka took him to mean that his spacecraft had crashed, or had a rough landing as her Master liked to say. "Well it's a good thing for you my Master prefers his clunker he has fixed up over the years to our Starfighters. We can give you lift I'm sure." Ezra smiled at her and said "Thanks." Though inwardly he wondered where he would go, there was no one from this time that knew him, at least not yet. "As for who that was, that was General Grievous, a cyborg trained by Count Dooku."

"So he isn't a dark Jedi or anything?" Ezra asked, as Ahsoka shook her head and said, "No he can't use the Force. He took the weapons he uses of the Jedi he killed. Come on, you can help me carry my Master back to our ship. Tell me a little about yourself." Ezra lifted Anakin up under the arms while Ahsoka lifted his feet before saying, "Well I'm from Lothal and I'm an orphan. Don't really have a home, so I catch a ride here and there across the galaxy. Might as well do something with my life right?"

"So you stowaway? Let me guess you were escorted off the last ship via escape pod?" Ahsoka said with a smirk. Ezra looked sheepish as he said, "Maybe." Ahsoka laughed and said "Oh my Master is going to like you." When they got in the ship, Ahsoka noticed an incoming transmission and hurried to see who it was from. A hologram of Obi-Wan appeared and he looked at Ahsoka, a bit miffed as he said, "Finally, I was wondering if you two would ever answer. We need you both back at the Jedi temple immediately."

"On it Master Kenobi. We have picked up a stranded traveler, should we stop and drop him off first?" Obi-Wan shook his head and said, "No time. Bring him with you. Hurry Ahsoka. Where is Anakin?" "Uh he is in the back." When Obi-Wan continued to stare at her she said, "Fine he is unconscious." Obi-Wan sighed and said, "Again? Oh well, just get here." With that he signed off. Ahsoka started getting the ship ready to take off as she said to Ezra, "I hope you don't mind a trip to the Jedi Temple." "Not at all." Ezra said with such awe it caused Ahsoka to smile.

*I was originally going to make this the Prologue but it got bigger than that, so enjoy this first short Chapter. Also in case anyone is confused why Grievous was called a dark Jedi at the start of the chapter, it's because that's what Ezra was guessing he was, not because of what Grievous really is, and as you can see Ahsoka cleared that up for him :D
