"What do we do?" Leia asks the two.
"First things first, we get her onto the ship and into a bunk. Then we go to Takobo, and find Kanan, Zeb, and Ezra. If this is what I think it is, we need to act immediately, especially since it's more than likely that the Inquisitors are already there."
Ahsoka looks at the Jedi Master. "You think this is like Toa, from Rodia?" she asks.
"It's the most likely answer, which means that if they are headed to Takobo, we need to get there, before they get another child." Turning from the Togruta, the Jedi addresses her Padawan, "Contact Ezra and Kanan, tell them that the Inquisitors are after children, and that they may already have one." She tosses her comm to her Padawan, before picking the woman up bridal style, with a grunt. Ahsoka assists Keen in carrying her to the ship, Leia talking in hushed tones to the other team.
When they enter the Corundum, Leia walks to the cockpit, while Keen gets Alora's grandmother situated on a bunk. After draping a blanket over the woman, she makes her to the cockpit, to find two concerned faces staring at her. "What's the word, Soka?"
"The Inquisitors are looking for an Ithorian baby, named Pipey. Zeb and Chopper managed to locate Alora, and he's going to find Pipey, his mother already on the way to the Phantom."
The Jedi takes a deep breath, sliding smoothly into her seat. "Alright, sounds to me like we'd better get going, this could all go to shab in a matter of moments."
Leia quickly pulls her helmet from her head, eyes looking out into space beyond her. "Why would the Empire want babies? I don't understand?"
Keen flips levers and switches, lifting the ship off the planet. Quickly setting the hyperspace coordinates, before looking over at her Padawan, slipping her mask off her face, "They're like you and Ezra. Strong in the Force. The Emperor probably wants to train them in the way of the Dark Side, a whole new era of Inquisitors."
"Which is why we need to keep these children safe from the Empire. I've not seen a Force-sensitive child since the Fall of the Republic, which means this was the next generation to be born. We need to be on the lookout for more children."
Keen sighs, her thoughts immediately moving to Grogu on Jedha with the two Guardians. She hopes that he's still safe, and off the Imperial radar. With her wandering thoughts, the trip to Takobo feels shorter, before she realizes it, they're hovering over the planet.
She lowers the ship, landing it in the exact same bay that the Phantom rests within. The three Force-sensitives race for the ramp, to be met by Chopper carrying a baby. "Well there's something I never thought I'd see," Ari'abel mutters. Ahsoka, smiling at the comment, moves to the doors of the bay.
Leia drops her helmet over her face, the Jedi Master following suit. Standing by the door, Keen hears Seventh Sister say, "I don't have time to waste on you, child."
Abthud resounds against the door, and Ari'abel slams her hand against the door button, saying, "Do you have time to waste on me?"
"Unexpected," the Inquisitor says, igniting her blade, "but not unwelcome."
Keen slams her back against a wall, igniting her own sabers. Ahsoka looks down at Kanan's Padawan, winking at him. "Ezra, get the youngling to the ship. Leia, give him a hand."
"Come on, guys!" Ezra shouts, shaking Kanan. The Princess rushes over to the Lasat, shaking him, as Ezra continues to shout, urging them to the ship.
"What about Ahsoka and Keen?" the Knight asks.
Keen flips over a crate Seventh Sister throws through the Force. She once again slams the Inquisitor back into a wall. From a nearby alley, Fifth Brother rushes out, leaping at Keen. The Jedi parries his blade, Ahsoka taking her place against Seventh Sister.
"I know why you want the children," the Togruta says.
"Well," the Inquisitor chuckles, "who doesn't want to be a mother?"
The Jedi Master blocks an attack from Fifth Brother, who was running head first at her. Stepping aside he runs into a wall, Seventh Sister joining him there with a Force shove from Ahsoka. "You are beaten," the Togruta says, holding her blade at the Inquisitor's neck.
Seventh Sister laughs, as from down the street a whole platoon of Troopers starts running at the two. Keen sheathes her sabers, looking down at the Inquisitors. "Okay, how about this. You take me, and leave the younglings be. I'm sure Lord Vader would be happier with a Jedi over two younglings. You take me, and leave Ahsoka, and the others be"
Fifth Brother turns to Seventh Sister, the two conversing in quiet tones. Ahsoka turns to the Jedi, hissing, "What are you doing? They will kill you!"
"Maybe, but at least the future of the Force is safe. Do me a favour. Go to Jedha, find the Guardians of the Whills, and ask after the Child I left in their care."
Ahsoka closes her eyes, nodding solemnly at Keen, as a group of Stormtroopers grab her from behind. She tosses her blades at Ahsoka's feet, letting the Imps drag her away.
The Togruta, spying the Phantom overhead leaps, using the Force to swing into the ship.
