13. A World Between Worlds

Complete story — includes the ending

Sabine ends up being questioned by Hydan and asked by him to interpret the pictograms he has found within the Jedi temple, thereby learning that Darth Sidious intends to breach the barriers between life and death as a final stepping stone to controlling the Force within the entire universe. Just after she has deciphered how to close the portal, Sabine is extracted by Hera and Zeb. In the meantime, Ezra wanders within the "World Between Worlds," a void between space and time until he is led by Morai to another portal, which opens Ahsoka's final battle against Darth Vader. Just before her imminent demise, Ezra pulls her through the portal into the void, saving her. Thinking that he has a chance to save Kanan as well, he considers an attempt, but is dissuaded by Ahsoka, who tells him realizing that if he had pulled Kanan out, he and the others would have perished instead. But with the opening of the Lothal door, Sidious is finally able to reach into the void and attack them. Ezra and Ahsoka separate and escape through the portals through which they have come. With Sabine's hint, Ezra is able to seal the portal to the void, which also triggers the full collapse of the temple. After a narrow escape, Hera returns to the temple, which has completely vanished. With what he has learned in the void, Ezra is finally able to overcome his grief over Kanan's death.
