Mustafa, three babies are crying as several robots are examining them and preparing them for testing.

An aerospace mech is conducting holographic communication with the Sith Lord.

Darth Sidious whispered to the Rodian boy, "Soon you will stop crying."

A robot rolled over to the holographic projection and issued a report: "Master, subjects of this age rarely survive the slave conditioning program. If we do this when they are older-"

"It is normal to have risks." Sidious interrupted him, staring at the Nautolan boy, the Rodian boy, and finally the human girl in the cage-like crib. "These children have talents too great for the Jedi to waste. I foresee an army of Force geniuses serving me, trained in the dark side, able to peer into every corner of the galaxy from afar." As he approached the human baby girl, he let out a chuckle, "And my enemies will be helpless against such visions."

As the Sith Lord continued to examine the children, the door to the room opened and a grown man walked in.

"grown ups."

"Ah, Thor Skorr." Darth Sidious greeted him, and Skorr knelt on one knee.

"I am very glad Dooku was able to send you here on such short notice."

"Master Sidious, what are your orders?" asked the fallen Jedi.

"There is much to do," Sidious said. "These younglings will be the future of the Sith, and must be watched while the droids are experimented upon. Mustafar may be far away, but the Jedi are cunning and may well find their way here."

"Master, your will will be done," Skoll promised.

After receiving a satisfied nod from the Dark Lord, he looked at the robot and said, "Begin preparations."

All this time, Anakin and Quicksilver have been traveling through hyperspace and finally reach their destination.

"So this is Mustafa?" Certainly looked cheerful.

"Yes. R2, prepare for landing," Anakin said.

Everything was ready, and the experiment finally began. However, before the equipment could be placed on the baby, a robot came to the fallen Jedi and his Sith master.

"A starship is approaching, and it's not the bounty hunter's."

"Could it be a Jedi?" Skoll asked.

"It must be." Sidious turned his attention to Skor, "Protect the children and transport them to the secondary facility. I'm afraid we have to abandon this place. Be careful that no evidence falls into the hands of the Jedi."

"Of course, my Lord."

"Turn off the gravity support and let this place sink into the lava."

As the holographic projection ended, Skoll began his mission.

The Dusk landed and Quicksilver, Anakin and R2 walked out.

Quicksilver could barely contain himself: "Oh my god, fuck, it's like we stepped into hell."

Anakin shrugged, "A... apt description."

"I hope the child is here," Quicksilver said, staring at the facility in front of them.

"We're about to find out."

R2 walked ahead of them both, accessing the control panel and opening the door for them.

Walking into the house, Quicksilver frowned and said, "My intuition tells me that there are some nasty things here."

"The Force," Anakin said slowly, "the dark side is strong here."

"What do you mean?"

"This is the place."

Walking through the hallway, Quicksilver soon heard the faint cry of a baby.

"Did you hear it?"

"I hear you, Pietro." Anakin closed his eyes and focused on the sound. After a moment, he found the source, "This way!"

Quicksilver sped forward, and Anakin used the Force to follow the Avengers. The sound was now more distinct as the two men got closer.

Arriving at a closed room, Anakin lit his lightsaber, and Quicksilver prepared behind him, as if he was about to race, ready to take the child away the moment Anakin signaled.

As the large piece of metal fell to the ground after being cut by Anakin's lightsaber, Quicksilver ran in, followed by Anakin, his weapon still ablaze, to help illuminate the room.

After entering the room, both of them were nervous because it was difficult to see clearly inside.

Quicksilver saw that the crib was empty and stamped his feet, "Damn it. We're late."

"I don't think so—"

A baby's cry was heard in the room, and the two turned around to see a nurse droid rushing towards Anakin with a Nautolan baby in his arms.

To Quicksilver, the robot was moving in slow motion, and he was already running towards it. With an elbow smash to the robot's head, the robot was scrapped, and the child was firmly held in Quicksilver's hands.

"Anakin Skywalker."

Anakin aimed his lightsaber at the sudden sound, while Quicksilver shielded the Nautolan baby with one arm.

In front of them stood a man in armor and robes, wielding a crimson lightsaber. Behind him stood another robot, holding a Rodian baby.

The man was holding the last baby girl.
