Jyn was released from her trap. She walked around the room, until a very rough voice said; "Jyn Erso? Is it really you?"
"JigSaw!" Jyn exclaimed.
The taro and the carrot embraced.
"Why did you leave me there?" Asked Jyn.
"You were perfectly fine on your own." Said JigSaw.
"All you did was give me a knife and a lantern in that cave--then the Stormtroopers came and bought me to that, that WRETCHED Labor Camp, even though I did NOTHING WRONG!!" Jyn snarled. "There I mined rock for fifteen years, cracking my bones day after day, going back to my cell covered in sweat, blood and dirt at the end of each day--all because you weren't watching out for me.."
"You foolish, selfish girl!" Exclaimed JigSaw. "Has prison life made you go mad?! Your father wouldn't want you to say such atrocities..."
"What do you mean, "my father"?! He's DEAD!!"
"No he isn't. He left you a hologram."
Jyn calmed down.
Was he secretly alive? She watched as JigSaw pressed some buttons on a hologram-projecting device.
Soon, a tall, blue hologram of Galen Erso appeared before the two.
"Jyn...I meant to tell you long ago, but since we are both in a time of crisis, I will tell you now: I have placed a flaw in the Weapon.
Within one of the holes, there is an extremely small tunnel leading straight to the main reactor. If someone were to fire a laser blast into it just right, the reactor will explode instantly. Unfortunately this plan will not come to fruition,
because I will be executed tonight
on the Imperial Base..."
The ground rumbled. The hologram shook as well.
"Goodbye, my Stardust." Said hologram-Galen. "I love you."
The hologram shut off. Jyn gasped, and looked at JigSaw.
"We have to go." Said Jyn.
"No." said JigSaw. "You must go. I will stay here."
Reluctantly, Jyn obeyed.

The room began to break apart. Pieces of rock would fall every now and then, but Blaze and Chirrut knew it was time to go.
"COME ON, LITTLE BUDDY!!" Blaze grabbed Chirrut and placed him on his large back. He broke the security system holding Bodhi captive. "LETS GO, PILOT!!"
"Why should we save him?" Asked Chirrut. "He's with them, you know!"
"Look, whatever you're thinking about me, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!" Exclaimed Bodhi. "Sure, I worked for the Empire, but not anymore! As of now, and forever, I have ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA RELATIONS TO MISTER TALL, DARK, AND WHEEZY!!!"
A very awkward pause passed as Bodhi stopped, eyes widened.
"...Wow." Said Chirrut.
"Alrighty." Said Blaze. "Come with us!"
Blaze grabbed Bodhi and placed him next to Chirrut.
They managed to get back to the ship. Jyn and Cassian were still running when they heard JigSaw cry out;
"SaVE ThE ReBELLiON!!"
"SAVE THE DREEEEAM!!"
Jyn stopped in her tracks. She stood, in awe of the dust rising. Cassian grabbed her. The ship made it safely off the planet, but Jedha (and JigSaw) had exploded to dust.

Meanwhile, on another desert planet, the same blast could be seen. A blond-haired cucumber was building a sand castle when he looked up and saw the blast. His eyes widened.
"HOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOO-LY SMOKES!!"

"...I left the stove on!"
