Ahsoka stands on a LAAT gunship, with Spider-Man, Black Widow, Aayla, Rex, Commander Bly and Team Domino.

The city they were going to was a particularly large city, and even with the Force, it was difficult to track down the Jedi baby that the Sith was looking for. The good thing was that the Force told them that the child was still on the planet, but Aayla was still extremely anxious at the moment.

As for the Sith, whoever was sent to take this special child was either on his way to Jedha or already there.

Aayla ordered, "Remember, our goal is to find and protect the child. We must be alert to any others the Sith may have sent here to capture this child. Bly, take Cameron, Flash, and Lucky, and have Black Widow accompany you, and search the southern part of the city."

"Yes, General," Bligh did as he was told.

"Try to keep up, kids," Black Widow teased, already running off with the clones following behind her.

"Captain Rex, divide your men into two groups and search the northern part of the city." Ella ordered and Rex nodded.

"Jesse, Echo, and Troublemaker, you and I will be in the same team." Rex ordered, "Number Five, Stooge, Heavy, and Kix, go east."

"keep in touch."

"I'll be our eyes in the sky," Spider-Man said, leaping into the air and swinging to the west.

"Then we'll both go east," Aayla said to Ahsoka, and the two parted ways, running towards their destination.

Meanwhile, Black Widow was more cautious, telling Bligh that she would hide in the crowd because their armor was too conspicuous.

Ahsoka and Aayla walked side by side on the crowded streets of Jedha.

"What's so special about this temple?" Ahsoka asked.

"This was once a holy place for the Jedi, and it still is. Many Jedi have come when seeking spiritual guidance, and Jedha is one of the prime planets for this mission. The people who live here have long been protected by the Jedi and those who follow our way of order and the Force."

Ahsoka muttered in awe, "I didn't know this place held so much significance."

"Not only that, the Temple of Jedda is also known as the Temple of Kyber."

"Is it related to the Kyber crystal?"

"Yes."

“Why is it called that?”

"Of course, because this is a place where you can get Kyber crystals."

"But I thought only Ileng had the kyber crystal," Ahsoka said doubtfully.

"There are other places in the galaxy where you can get Kyber crystals. It's just that Jedha is one of the main sources of it," Ayla said.

Ahsoka nodded, and Aayla continued, "Jeda has long been a part of the Order, and many consider it one of the first worlds where the Force was studied more extensively, and my—oops."

"sorry."

"No, it was my fault," Ella said to the man she bumped into.

He was a middle-aged man, probably in his 30s, wearing sunglasses and holding a cane in his hand. Jedi Flower Aila could easily see that he was blind.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Ella said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's too crowded today," said the blind man.

"Sir, would you like some assistance?" Ahsoka offered.

"No, I'm sure I'll be fine. Thank you anyway."

Then the man walked away, leaving the two of them behind.

"We found something." Black Widow's voice came over the communication, "There is a group of pirates here, and they are armed to the teeth."

"Are you sure?" Ella asked.

"Yes, General," Bligh responded this time.

"What do you think?" Ella asked the entire team.

"We are here to ensure that a force-sensitive baby is safe. This large group of pirates looks ready to fight and should be related to our mission." Cameron of the Flash Team interrupted.

The rest of the clones and Spider-Man agreed, and Aayla nodded. Then she and Ahsoka turned and broke into a sprint, with Bly signaling their location.

Bly, Flash, Cameron, Lucky and Black Widow watched the pirates from their hiding place. "They are packing up, and then..."

"Who is that? They do look suspicious." Black Widow asked, pointing at two people in black robes.

"Let's see what they say," Bligh said.

"Where is the child?" Ella asked as she ran.

"Should I go check it out?" Spider-Man asked, dropping down in a blind spot where the pirates and the two newcomers couldn't see him. "I could sneak in through the roof."

"That does sound like a good plan," Ahsoka said.

Rex interjected, "We're down there, kid."

Spider-Man glanced down and saw Rex and his team of clones hiding in the alley.

"If you go in from the top, you could still be spotted. That suit of yours isn't completely invisible," Rex said.

"Yeah, it would be nice if they were all blind like Daredevil."

"I saw something." Clone Trooper Lucky spoke up.

"and then?"

"Uh... I don't know what's being said between the pirates and the two black-robed men. Now the pirates are pointing their blasters at the two men, ready to fire."

"We made a deal with your 'lord' Dooku." One of the pirates sneered and shouted, "Now either you pay the full amount immediately, or you can forget about taking the child away."

The two robed figures looked at each other, and one of them removed his hood, revealing a female face with horns.

"My Lord Dooku will not tolerate your treacherous behavior. You pirates should value your reputation very much." said the Zabrak woman.

"Then you can ask those stupid and old-fashioned guys to do it for you. It's a pity that the child is already in my hands." One of the Twi'leks shouted.

“Watch how you speak to us,” the other masked figure said in a low, hoarse voice.

Suddenly, one of the pirates ran over and pulled off the tarp, revealing a blaster turret. He jumped on it, quickly unleashed his weapon, and began firing at the two men.

The two men in black robes hurriedly dodged the attack of the blaster bombs.

One of them ignited a green lightsaber, reflecting the incoming fire and using the Force to redirect the pirate's attack.

The clone was about to stop what was happening when the sound of boots stomping was heard. Looking around, they all found themselves surrounded by more pirates.

"You weak herders, you are surrounded." said a human pirate.

Cameron said calmly: "We are not here to cause trouble. We are only here for the children in your hands. There is no need to make a big fuss."

One of the Weequay pirates said, "You think we are three-year-old children. I am afraid that if we hand our children over to you, you will kill us when we least expect it."

The clone was about to say something when an unfamiliar voice came: "Let them go."

The pirates surrounding the clones turned to a man walking towards them with a cane.

"What's going on with this guy?" a pirate muttered to himself.

"Fight there," one of the pirates said, raising his blaster, but the man ignored him and continued forward.

"The Force is with me. I am with the Force, for I fear nothing," the man said, "for all is as the Force wills. Let them pass unharmed, for their cause is one of the just causes you are hindering."

"Is he deaf?" a Weequay pirate muttered.

"He must be blind," one of the human pirates added.

The man continued to walk towards them, undeterred by the sound of the blaster gun.

"Stop, quack!"

A baton came out of nowhere and hit the pirate on the forehead, causing him to lie on the ground instantly.

That was all the blind man needed, and he rushed forward, swinging his cane into the nearest pirate's face and stabbing another in the stomach.

The remaining clones took the initiative to open fire on the pirates surrounding them, and soon the entire area became a battlefield.
