Having gone into the underbelly and exploring this place, Ahsoka has finally made her way to another place in particular.
Making her way through the depths was much more of a nice experience than she had expected of course, what with there being some sort of entire world underneath the world above and all.
Skyscrapers towered above the highest level on Coruscant, Level 5127, upon which laid the Galactic City, but under the surface structures the levels of Coruscant descended down all the way to Level 1, which was deemed uninhabitable.
The various levels of Coruscant were accessible by huge portals that also served as ventilation shafts. Covered by the surface structures, sunlight did not reach the lower levels leaving them in a perpetual state of darkness illuminated only by artificial lights for thousands of years.
Undercity dwellers often had to breathe toxic fumes from millennia of urbanization, while wealthy citizens in the upper levels had access to rich and filtered air. Influential crime families operated in the lower levels of Coruscant, which were patrolled by the underworld police division of the Coruscant Security Force.
Very little is known of the Coruscant underlevels in the Pre-Republic era. In 100,000 BBY, the lowest fifty levels of the planetwide ecumenopolis had been fully built over the entire surface.
During this period, all native non-sentient species presumably became extinct with the exception of the Thrantcill, which began to evolve with the new city, and the Hawk-bat, which stayed the same. Around that time, the big-brained Columi visited the world and dismissed Coruscant as a primitive failure despite the presence of the planetwide city.
Over the following millennia, the lower levels became the domain of criminals and vagrants. The bottom fifty levels that made up the underworld were buried under levels of duracrete and buildings. Several mutant species developed around this period including the humanoid Cthon and the corridor ghouls.
In fact, around 5 years ago, Ashaar Khorda along with his associates attempted to euthanize the Coruscant Underworld, along with the entire planet itself with the Infant of Shaa. The destruction of the galactic capital was hoped to be followed by the destruction of the Galactic Republic. However, their attempts to use the infant were thwarted by Zam Wesell, Jango Fett and Yarael Poof. This resulted in the deaths of Ashaar, all his comrades, and Yarael.
One things for sure however, and that is at the very lowest levels of the city were rumored to hold ancient secrets.
What Ahsoka would be going to find out for herself.
Entering another building, which seemed to have a multitude of buildings on top of it itself, alongside various other alien species from young to old, one could mistake this place for some sort of hub.
It is a hub after all, and disconnected from the main government from above world of Coruscant and their higher levels.
Ahsoka, covered up and making sure she is disguised headed into the building and saw many things happening. Sometimes there seemed to be people of varying species trying to gain help, which they would be successful in doing. A community had been built during a short period of time here in the undercity, where this community is a very strong and united one.
What is strange for Ahsoka however is how the way they act with each other, like it is some sort of family. The concept of the mafia also existed here, whereupon it is also setup like that kind of environment as well.
"Excuse me." Ahsoka politely interrupted a woman, whom is dressed in a business suit and is of relative beauty whilst commanding some level of respect within this place.
"Yes?" It was a human woman, and she replied with a questioning tone.
"I wanted to know where to find the... 'Big Boss...'" Ahsoka was starting to find it a little funny that someone would even refer to themselves as the 'Big Boss.' 'I just hope that this 'Big Boss' isn't actually as big as I think he may be...' Ahsoka thought to herself, having a funny image pop up into her head.
"And who are you?" The woman asked.
"... I am just someone that comes from a far off place, looking for some exiled people." Ahsoka replied, implying why she is here without actually saying anything that would give her away.
Not that she is a Jedi herself, but with how abundant and active this place is, she could only assume that there may be some form of agents from whoever knows where hiding within here.
"That wasn't the question, but I guess I understand what you want. I need to confirm if you are the exiles ally or not, for everyone that comes here seeking refuge is protected." The woman replied, her authoritative energy beaming as of this moment. "I need a name, something that should be easily recognizable and deemed as an ally."
From the top of her head, there was a few names that could help in this situation and while there may be a few Jedi that know about her specifically, she hadn't been on the big screen unlike the others. After all, most of the others had their own marriage with Anakin while she was too young herself.
Thus meaning that she is most likely only known to a few, for she was also quite isolated within the Jedi as well. "... Anakin." Ahsoka said, thinking that saying Anakin's last name would bring too much attention to herself.
Not that Anakin's name isn't already widely heard about everywhere, but the difference is that most people only really have the Skywalker name or Empyrean at the forefront of their minds when it comes to Anakin.
Thus meaning his first name would be both significant enough, alongside also possibly giving her enough leeway to get to help the Jedi exiles.
"Ok. Is that all?" The woman asked.
"That is all." Ahsoka replied, and the human woman walked off going towards another area. Ahsoka used a Force ability to enhance and focus her hearing capabilities so she could tell what the woman is going to say, to whomever she may say it to.
The general gist of what happened next was the woman speaking to someone on a communication device, which lead to some other things being spoken about. Specifically, the person on the other side seemed to want to know what Ahsoka looked like.
The woman described her appearance, which seemed to be more than enough for the person on the other side to accept her.
The woman came back after speaking to whoever was on the other side and said. "They are willing to allow you to come to them."
"Good. I want to see them as soon as possible." Ahsoka totally forgot about the matter of seeing the 'Big Boss.'
"You also said something about wanting to see the Big Boss, didn't you?" The woman asked again.
"... I-I did..." Ahsoka is unsure of where this might be heading towards.
"Unfortunately that isn't possible right now, as he is out at the moment." For some reason, Ahsoka felt that the 'Big Boss' has been out for a longer time than for a moment.
"That is too bad. Maybe some other time then..." Ahsoka was now more concerned with the Jedi exiles now and getting them to safety. Even more so because of her visions that seemed to predict not only the demise of the Jedi but also the demise of alot of other innocent people as well.
"Right this way then. I will be your guide." The human woman said, as she started to make her way out with Ahsoka following closely behind.
'Something is wrong...' Ahsoka looked around and noticed that there is some people that are following herself and the human woman. Of course there seemed to be some that are acting as protection, whilst there may be others here with more nefarious purposes and somehow managed to overhear the conversation between herself and the woman.
Either way, there seemed to be alot of interesting interested parties involved in this situation.
What Ahsoka didnt know about the situation as well is that she is also being followed by her comrades from the Empyrean. They are hot on her heels, bot that she even did that well of a job covering her tracks and it wasnt like the others aren't able to track her using the Force either.
This zone is not off limits for stuff like that.

Joining the Jedi and Sith within the Senate hall and building, one would notice that there seemed be a few people whom have died. Both the Jedi and the Sith were doing their jobs here, but there also seemed to be an overwhelming amount of Sith, so obviously the Jedi are probably going to lose.
As more and more of the numbers dwindle, there is just no way for people to handle the situation at hand.
While the battle seemed to be going on for hours, in reality, it was only a short amount of time that had passed. However, at least half an hour had gone by for things to start looking so desperate for the Jedi.
Many lightsaber forms are being used, alongside the assistance through the Force as well. One particular duel to keep an eye on is between Jedi Master Mace Windu and the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. There is also another duel of importance, just like all of them are and that is the fight between Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the somewhat confusing Sith apprentice, Ventress.
Focusing in on Mace and Palpayine, Palpatine targeted more than just Windu. He immediately helped out, or really just wanted to go after the Jedi instead of helping the other Sith. Force lightning abound, the electricity that poured out of Palpatine's hands managed to cause pain to all of those that got in his way.
Jedi and Sith alike, fir his power is... "UNLIMITED POWER!" Sidious spoke his infamous line as he caused untold destruction to the building, not caring for the lives or damage he is causing within.
This recklessness allowed Windu to take a step back from the situation and rather his energy. He did not stagnate over the years and got stronger, especially since he was training Anakin allowing him to still be kept on his toes. Looking around, Mace discovers that there seems to be some reinforcements coming from Palpatine's side and there isn't anyone coming from all of the Jedi, for they are elsewhere doing other things.
This includes integrating themselves with the Jedi exiles and slowly moving them off of the planet and towards their new refuge in the Empyrean. Other tasks may include technical stuff as well, including even stealth missions to try and extract information from the systems of Palpatines data.
The lightning show came to an end as Palpatine taking out his lightsaber again started to go into a frenzied mode of attack against Mace.
More and more Jedi were starting to be killed off, as there is little to no room to escape the pursuit of both the droids and the Sith hunting them down like they were their prey. Their hatred, anger and other negative emotions fueled them in their desire to take them down.
Mace had to once engage Palpatine as he seemed to have some sort of unnatural drive and energy powering his physical form. 'We need to retreat. This isn't working!' Mace thought to himself before giving the order. "Everyone retreat! Get out of here and then meet back up at the gathering spot!"
The Jedi in turn hearing this started to try making their way out of there, not wanting to die like the others. For even if the Jedi preach peace in death, that still doesn't mean that they want to die after all and die right now especially in a battle they are clearly losing. The Sith also responded in kind, making sure to make the escaping effort harder for the Jedi.
"Cowardice is the way of the Jedi, it would seem." Palpatine taunted Mace as he also distracted him using the Force so he could get out of there as well.
