The heroes, exhausted and disoriented, were forcibly taken by Saw Garrera's men to the Partisan base. As they stumbled along, their captors kept their clothes over their heads, making it difficult for them to see where they were going. The muffled sounds of music, laughter, and clinking glasses filled the air as they were led inside.

Once inside, they were taken to a cell where they saw Bodhi Rook, huddled in a corner and staring blankly ahead. The sight of him only added to their confusion and fear. After a while, they were taken to a clearing and left standing there while the men went to fetch someone.

The silence that followed was almost unbearable, and Kate could feel her anxiety growing with each passing moment. She desperately wanted to know what was going on and what fate awaited them in this unfamiliar place.

"So, when do we start fighting back?" Kate asks.

"Kate Bishop, relax," Yelena said with unnerving calmness. "We might be among friends."

"Friends?" asked Kate. "They attacked us. And they put these disgusting rags on our heads. When were these ever washed? They stink."

"Do those two ever stop arguing?" Jane wonders.

"Not since I have met them," Cassian commented.

"What is this?" Someone asks the rebels as he approaches the sacked heroes. "Take those off, we are among friends!"

"Wait, I know that voice," Loki remembered that voice.

When the cloth was removed from their heads, they were met with Heimdall standing there with a smile. "Heimdall!" Sif cried.

Heimdall laughed when he saw his friends and embraced them. "My friends!"

"Wait, do we know him?" Jyn asks.

"Apparently, they do." Yelena was just as confused.

"And I see a few new faces that I have yet to meet," Heimdall said as he eyed the group. "I am Heimdall. Keeper of the Gate fo Asgard."

"Oh. Well, I am Kate Bishop. Hawkeye." Kate introduced herself and pointed to Yelena and the others. "This is Yelena, Jyn, and Cassian."

"Jyn?" Heimdall recognized the name. "Ah, of course, that's why you're here."

"What?" Jyn asks.

"The pilot." Heindall pointed to the man in the cell. "He's only in there for his safety. He wants to give a message to Jyn Erso. Is this why you have come?"

"The Alliance wants my father." Jyn shrugged and definitely seemed not to want to be here. "They think he's sent a message about a weapon. I guess they think sending me to Saw might actually help them out."

"Well, what is it that you want, Jyn?" Heimdall asks her.

"They wanted an introduction, they've got it," Jyn stated, showing she was done with this. "I'm out now. The rest of you can do what you want."

"Yeesh." Yelena sounded a little offended.

"You care not about the cause?" Heimdall asks her curiously.

"The cause? Seriously? The Alliance? The... The rebels?" Jyn asks as she looks around at the rebels of Saw that are around. "Whatever it is you're calling yourself these days? All it's ever brought me is pain."

"So you can stand to see the Imperial flag reign across the galaxy?" Loki asks her.

Jyn shrugged as she didn't seem to care. "It's not a problem if you don't look up."

Heimdall nodded as he knew he needed to show them something. "I have something to show you, come."

They walk towards a holo pad lying on the floor. Heimdall then began to activate the device.

Meanwhile, the Star Destroyer is seen leaving the city, followed by numerous TIE fighters and smaller craft. The citizens look up in surprise as they hear its engines whirring to life. Tarkin and Thrawn stand in the control room in front of a giant screen with the city of Jedha pictured on it.

"The Emperor is awaiting my report," Thrawn tells Talos.

"One had hoped that he and Lord Vader and our friend who helped make this device might have been here for such an occasion." Talos figured that he might learn who their ally was since he couldn't sabotage the weapon.

"And I thought it prudent to save you from any potential embarrassment. Should this weapon not deliver as promised." Thrawn stated.

"Your concern is hardly warranted." Talos hated having to resort to this villain role but knew he was playing a piece in a grander puzzle.

"If saying it would only make it so," Thrawn said as he walked ahead to watch this unfold.

"All Imperial forces have been evacuated, and we stand ready to destroy the entire moon." The officer reported.

"That won't be necessary. We need a statement, not a manifesto." Thrawn wanted to see this weapon in use. "The Holy City will be enough for the day."

Talos wished it didn't need to come to this, but he needed to go through with this or give away his position. "Target Jedha City, prepare single reactor ignition."

Gunners get in their positions and prepare to fire. "Sir, we're in position, ready to fire."

Talos looked out the window and saw the city that didn't realize what was going to come for them. He reminded himself of his own home, remembering everything that they had suffered through for a war that they didn't want. But this was something that he ended up doing to save the rebellion in the long run and hopefully the galaxy one day.

"Fire," Talos whispered.

Pterro walks off to give the command to his officers. "Commence primary ignition."

A gunner raises his hand and drops it as a signal. A bright array of lights comes on across the control panel. The Death Star eclipses the sun over Jedha. A blinding green ray emerges from the reactor as two gunners manning it turn away to cover their eyes.

"This is the message I was sent," Heimdall said as he set up the device.

The holoprojector lights up and a hologram of Galen Erso appears. "Saw, if you're watching this, then perhaps there is a chance to save the Alliance. Perhaps there's a chance to explain myself and, though I don't dare hope for too much, a chance for Jyn, if she's alive, if you can possibly let her know that my love for her has never faded and how desperately I've missed her. Jyn, my Stardust, I can't imagine what you think of me. When I was taken, I faced some bitter truths."

Jyn began to tear up when she watched the hologram of her father, whom she hadn't seen in about five years.

"I was told that, soon enough, Krennic would have you as well. As time went by, I knew that you were either dead or so well hidden that he would never find you. I knew if I refused to work, if I took my own life, it would only be a matter of time before Krennic realized he no longer needed me to complete the project. So I did the one thing that nobody expected: I lied. I learned to lie. I played the part of a beaten man resigned to the sanctuary of his work. I made myself indispensable, and all the while I laid the groundwork of my revenge. We call it the Death Star. There is no better name. And the day is coming soon when it will be unleashed. I've placed a weakness deep within the system. A flaw so small and powerful, that they'll never find it."

Then they started to hear what seemed to be some sort of rumbling. Cassian made his way towards some windows to see if he could see what was going on. But with nothing but sand to see, he started to make his way out further to find a doorway to see what was going on.

"But, Jyn. Jyn, if you're listening, my beloved, so much of my life has been wasted. I try to think of you only in the moments when I'm strong, because of the pain of not having you with me Your mother. Our family. The pain of that loss is so overwhelming I risk failing even now. It's just so hard not to think of you. Think of where you are. My Stardust. Saw, the reactor module, that's the key. That's the place I've laid my trap. It's well hidden and unstable, one blast to any part of it will destroy the entire station."

That is when Cassian saw the aftermath of when the Death Star blast hit the Holy City of Jedha, vaporizing it in an instant. He saw the destruction heading right for them.

"You'll need the plans, the structural plans for the Death Star to find the reactor. I know there's a complete engineering archive in the data vault at the Citadel Tower on Scarif. Any pressurized explosion in the reactor module will set off a chain reaction that will destroy the entire station..."

The hologram cuts off because of the earthquake going through the Partisan base due to the Death Star's fire. Jyn falls to her knees, crying. The partisans guarding the cells scream and scatter, leaving the heroes and Heimdall. Cassias came running back into the room where he saw everyone.

"We have to leave! Now!" Cassias tells them as the base shakes.

"Go. Go!" Kate cried as they scrambled to run out of the base.

Cassian screams into his comlink. "K-2? K-2, where are you?"

K-2SO in the U-wing, staring at the explosion on Jedha. "There you are. I'm standing by as you requested. Although there's a problem on the horizon." K2-SO said as he eyed the oncoming death cloud of sand and ground. "There is no horizon."

A huge earthquake lifts rubble high into the air, and the shockwave comes closer to his location.

"Locate our position. Bring that ship in here now!" Cassian demanded as he raced to find a way out. He then noticed that they left the pilot in the cell. 'Get the pilot. We need him."

Loki saw that he was the only one left and sighed. He approached the cell and fixed his collar. "All right. I'll get the pilot." He then used his mystical powers to yank the lock off the door and allow the pilot to go free. "Let's get out of here."

Partisans are seen running off and screaming as the shockwave approaches. The heroes made it outside, some of them finally getting their first look at the approaching destruction and were left with a look of shock and terror. K-2 came flying in with the U-Wing and opened the door for them. The Asguardians didn't have the time to reach their ship, if it was even still around, so they piled into the U-Wing to survive the destruction coming for them.

Cassian ran over to the copilot seat with K-2 and started to take off. "Get us out of here! Punch it!"

K-2SO is at the controls, starting the hyperdrive. "I'm not very optimistic about our odds."

"Let's not, K. Come on! Punch it." Cassias demanded, noticing the shockwave coming closer.

"I haven't completed my calculations." K-2 tells him.

"I'll make them for you." Cassian grabs the hyperdrive lever and pulls it sharply.

The U-wing shifts into hyperspace and zips away from Jedha just seconds before the rubble from the shockwave destroys the mountain.

The officers talked quietly amongst themselves. Talos walked by Thrawn, intentionally shoving him in the shoulder. He couldn't believe what he had to do to secure his position. All of those innocent people were killed by their actions.

"I believe I owe you an apology, Director Krennic," Thrawn commented as he turned to Talos. "Your work exceeds all expectations."

"And you'll tell the Emperor as much?" Talos asks. He just needed to figure out who this silent partner was who helped build this machine.

"I will tell him his patience with your misadventures has been rewarded with a weapon that will bring a swift end to the Rebellion," Thrawn assured him.

"That was only an inkling of its destructive potential." Talos hated having to play this role.

"But I'm afraid these recent security breaches have laid bare your inadequacies as a military director," Thrawn informed him.

"The breaches have been filled, Jedha has been silenced." Talos hoped that wasn't the case and that they managed to get word to the rebellion.

"You think this pilot acted alone? He was dispatched from the installation on Eadu. Galen Erso's facility." Thrawn tells him.

That's what Talos needed. Exactly where Erso was located. All he needed to do was find a way to tell the resistance. "We'll see about it." Talos walks off angrily, flanked by his death troopers.

Rebel communication experts sit at a control panel when one of them receives a message. He turns to a familiar face to the heroes from the multiverse. Maria Hill approached them and wondered what was going on.

"What have we got?" Hill asks as she approaches them.

"A coded message from Captain Andor. The rebel informs Maria. "Weapon confirmed. Jedha destroyed. Please advise."

Hill was shocked by this information. "What?"

Davits was shocked when he heard that. "Destroyed?"

Fury approached when he heard this news. "Tell them to head to Eadu. We've been given confirmation that Erso is there."

Davits nodded. "Proceed. Tell him my orders still stand. Tell him to proceed with haste and keep to the plan." They got to work on that. "We have no idea what he is building for the Empire. We have to kill Galen Erso while we have the chance."

Fury didn't dare to misspeak in this situation. But he knew that they weren't going to be able to kill Erso with Yelena on the job to protect him.

The crew on board the U-Wing were silently mourning the loss of all of those innocent people on that planet. They lost so many people to this new weapon from the Empire.

"Understood. Set a course for Eadu." Cassian said as he received the message.

K-2SO confirmed. "Setting course for Eadu."

"Is that where my father is?" Jyn asks.

"They think so," Cassian confirmed.

"So you're Galen's daughter." Bodhi gathered.

"You know him?" Jyn asked him.

"I'm Bodhi, the pilot." He explained to her.

"You brought the message." Jyn realized.

"Yes," Bodhi confirmed. "Your father... He said I could get right by myself. He said I could make it right if I was brave enough and listened to what was in my heart. Do something about it. Guess it was too late."

"It wasn't too late," Jyn promised.

"Seems pretty late to me," Jane muttered.

"No. We can beat the people who did this. My father's message, you heard it. But they have no idea there's a way to defeat it." Jyn reminds him.

"He still built it." Cassian reminds her.

"Because he knew they'd do it without him," Jyn recalled he missed part of the message. "My father made a choice. He sacrificed himself for the Rebellion. He's rigged a trap inside it. That's why he sent you. To bring that message."

"She's right," Jane confirmed. "We all heard it."

"Where is it? Where's the message?" Cassian asked the group.

There was a small since around the ship.

"It was a hologram," Jyn tells him.

"You have that message, right?" Cassian asked her.

Jyn sighed as she wasn't fast enough to grab it. "Everything happened so fast."

Cassian sighed as he looked to Bodi. "Did you see the message?"

Bodi nodded in denial. "No."

Jyn was a little offended by that. "You don't believe me."

"I'm not the one you've got to convince." Cassian defended his accusation.

"I believe it," Loki admitted.

"That's good to know." Sif scoffed, nobody going to take the word of the God of Mischief to heart.

"The reactor. He's placed a weakness there." Jyn tells Cassian. "He's been hiding it for years. He said if you can blow the reactor- the module- the whole system goes down. You need to send word to the Alliance."

Cassian pointed to the controls. "I've done that."

"They have to know there's a way to destroy this thing. They have to go to Scarif to get the plans." Jyn tells him.

"I can't risk sending that. We're in the heart of Imperial territory." Cassian denied that.

"Then we'll find him. And bring him back, and he can tell them himself." Jyn stated as she took a seat.

Cassian knew that he had orders to make sure he didn't survive long enough. But Yelena also had orders to be sure that her father did indeed make it so he could testify, or at least inform them of any weaknesses within the Death Star. And now she knows what this weapon is capable of, they needed to stop it before they did what they have done to any other worlds in the galaxy.

The U-Wing exits from Hyperspace and begins to fly carefully through the rainy, dark canyons of Eadu. Cassian and K-2SO pilot the ship, dodging constantly to avoid crashing.

"20 degrees to the right. 10 degrees up." K-2SO tells them.

Bodhi called in terror. "No, no, no, lower. Lower!"

K-2SO was a little skeptical. "Are you sure this is the way?"

"They have landing trackers. They have patrol squadrons." Bodhi warned them. "You've got to stay in the canyon, and keep it low."

"Watch your right!" Cassian cried in panic.

The U-Wing maneuvers carefully between the canyons, barely avoiding a collision with a cliff. "There's a 26% chance of failure," K-2SO stated.

"How much farther?" Cassian asked.

"I don't know. I'm not sure, I never really come this way," Bodhi admitted. "But we're close, we're close. I know that."

K-2SO groaned. "Well, now there's a 35% chance of failure."

"I don't want to know, thank you, K2." Kate cried as she held onto her restraints.

K-2SO nodded. "I understand."

"Now! Put it down now!" Bodhi cried.

K-2SO didn't seem to want to comply. "The wind..."

"If you keep going, you'll be right over the shuttle depot," Bodhi warned when they saw an approaching cliff. "Watch out!"

The U-Wing hits its engine on a rock and the ship begins to fall. They spiral out of control as they all try to keep themselves from hitting the metal surfaces. The U-Wing lands roughly in a dark canyon. A ridge separates them from the bright lights of the Imperial facility.

Draven and a rebel try to contact Cassian, but there's no signal. Draven slaps his hand on the table impatiently.

"Try them again." Davits tells him.

"I am, sir. We... The signal's gone dead."

Davits sighed and knew that they needed to stop the Empire before they finished the weapon. Not knowing it was already too late. "Squadron up, target Eadu."

The group is trying to fix the U-WIng and get it back in the air, but nothing seems to work.

"How about now, check stabilizers?" Bodhi tells Jane.

"I did, still not working." Jane sighed as she looked at her hammer. "Hang on, let me try something."

"Don't!" Loki cried before Jane could charge the Hammer. "Thor did that once, he nearly fried our entire fleet."

Jane saw that was going to be a bad idea and stopped. "Okay."

Cassian came back after doing a bit of scouting around the area. "Bodhi, where's the lab?"

"The research facility?" Bodhi clarified.

"Yeah. Where is it?" Cassian asked.

Bodhi pointed in the direction. "It's just over the ridge."

"And that's a shuttle depot straight ahead of us? You are sure of that?" Cassian asked.

"Yes. We'll have to hope there's still an Imperial ship left to steal." Bodhi said as he saw there was no way their ship was going to take off.

"Here's what we're doing," Cassian tells them the plan. "Hopefully, the storm keeps up and keeps us hidden down here. Bodhi, you're coming with me. We'll go up the ridge and check it out."

"I'm coming with you." Jyn wanted to be there to find her father.

"No, your father's message, we can't risk it. You're the messenger." Cassian didn't want her to be out there as he needed to complete his mission.

"That's ridiculous. We all got the message. Everyone here knows it." Jyn scoffed as she gestured to everyone.

"Yeah, we all know it." Kate agreed.

K-2SO repeated exactly what she said. "One blast to the reactor module and the whole system goes down. That's how you said it. The whole system goes down."

"Get to work fixing our comms!" Cassian was a little agitated by the situation. "All I want to do right now is get a handle on what we're up against, we're going to go very small and very carefully up the rise and see what's what. Let's get out of here."

They then left them as Heimdall was eyeing Jyn and noticed something that he found interesting. "That crystal around your neck." Jyn figured he must be referring to her kyber Crystal. "Do you know what that is?"

Jyn reached down and messed with the crystal a little. "A Kyber Crystal. My father said that it's what powered the Jedi's lightsabers."

Heimdall reached his hand out. "May I?"

Jyn decided to let him have a look and gave him the crystal. When he looked down at the crystal, he caressed it and felt the energy in it. "This is not a Kyber Crystal." He then felt all of the power entering and exiting the crystal. "This...I have only felt of six others with this kind of power."

That went over almost everyone's head, except for one. Loki spun to face the crystal and Heimdall as he understood exactly what he was saying. "You're saying that's..."

"An Infinity Stone," Heimdall whispered. "You think we were the only ones in the multiverse to have them?"

"An Infinity Stone?" Jane clarified. "As in the Thanos snapped, goodbye home, Infinity Stones?"

"Yes," Heimdall confirmed. "But it is nothing like the Infinity Stones that I am familiar with."

"This could mean trouble." Sif sighed. "If the Empire learned about this..."

Kate was wondering what they were referring to as she looked around and noticed someone was missing. "Hey, where's Yelena?"

Yelena was already far from the ship. She had a poncho on top of her clothing to keep herself dry enough so she could follow Cassian. She needed to make sure he failed in his mission to kill Galen Erso to make sure they had a way of saving the galaxy from this weapon of mass destruction.
