As the Zelta-class Heavy Cargo Shuttle jumped out of Hyperspace and entered the Yavin system, the Imperial shuttle began heading towards Yavin 4 before landing outside the Great Temple as its wings flipped upwards as the ship's ramp lowered as Cassian, K-2SO, Jyn, Satele, Sabine, Janus, Chirrut and Baze walking down the Imperial shuttle's ramp with the three Mandalorians having their helmets under their arms as Hera, Chopper, Zeb, Rex, Cody, Jesse, Appo, Cade, Wrecker, Shield and Arrow, who both had repainted their armors from black with a red pauldron and black kamas to black, blue, gray and white with the Rebel Alliance's Starbird on their armors and grown their hair a bit as they began walking towards them.
"We heard about what happened on Jedha," Rex told Satele, Sabine and Janus with sadness in his voice.
"I can't believe what the Empire did to Jedha," Cody muttered with disbelief and anger in his voice.
"Agreed, General," Jesse said, agreeing with Cody, "This is one of the most vile things the Empire has done."
"And this is way worse than the Empire attempting to exterminate the Geonosian species," Appo added with as much sickness in his voice as the other clones.
"I'm just glad you three are safe," Hera told Satele, Sabine and Janus as she hugged them.
"We're fine, Hera," Sabine assured the Twi'lek.
"But we can't say the same for the people of Jedha," Janus added with sadness in his voice.
"Me and Sabine both felt them all die," Satele stated, "But I felt it more than Sabine did."
"And when Sabine and Cassian found her and Jyn, Satele was on her stomach," Janus told Hera, "Satele said that she felt pain in her stomach when the Empire's super weapon destroyed Jedha City."
"Why were you on your stomach, Satele?" Zeb asked Satele.
"I felt pain in my stomach as if something wanted to get out of my stomach but couldn't," Satele answered, "But Janus suspected that I may be one week pregnant, which could explain why I felt pain in my stomach when Jedha City was destroyed and all those people within the city were killed."
"If you are, then in a few months, you won't be on as many missions as you are right now," Hera told Satele.
"I know, Hera," Satele said as she looked at her.
"I also felt all those people being killed by the Empire's super weapon," Cade stated with sadness and disgust in his voice, "Through a disturbance in the Force when it happened."
"I'm pretty sure this will draw more people into the Rebellion than before," Shield said with visible anger on his face.
"Agreed, Corporal," Jesse muttered, agreeing with Shield.
"Anyway, besides the Imperial pilot, who are those two that you guys came back from Jedha with?" Cade asked Satele, Sabine, Janus, Cassian and Jyn.
"I'm Chirrut Îmwe, member of the Guardian of the Whills," Chirrut said, introducing himself to Cade, Hera, Zeb, Chopper and the clones.
"And I'm Baze Malbus, former member of the Guardian of the Whills," Baze told them, introducing himself as well.
"We found them on Jedha and helped us fend off the Imperials within Jedha City before we were captured by Saw Gerrera and his Partisans," Satele explained.
"Where's Jyn's father?" Hera asked them, "You guys were supposed to bring him back for testimony for the Imperial Senate."
"Blame General Draven, Hera," Satele answered, "He ordered an attack on Eadu, where he reluctantly worked as an Imperial scientist, killing him in the process."
"Wait till I have a word with him," Hera said as she pounded her fist into her hand.
"Don't worry, Hera, I was already planning to do the same," Satele told the Twi'lek before turning to Jyn, "Jyn, get Senator Mothma to set up a meeting to discuss the Death Star and your father."
"Don't worry, I will, Satele," Jyn assured the Mandalorian.
"See you later, Jan'ika," Satele told her boyfriend as she gave him a quick kiss before turning to her sister, "You too, Sis."
"Yeah, see you later, Sis," Sabine replied with a smile on her face.
"You too, Teal'ika," Janus told his girlfriend as she and Hera left the others as they went to find General Draven.
"Jyn, in case I never see you again, it was nice seeing you again," Sabine said as she and Jyn shook each other's hand as she recalled when she and Jyn met on Garel a few years ago when the Empire was after her when she had a holodisk in her hands.
"You too, Sabine," Jyn responded as she went to find Mon Mothma to gather a meeting to discuss her father and the Death Star.
Satele and Hera soon entered the Great Temple's debriefings room and saw that Draven was sitting on a chair near the holotable with a datapad in his hands, reading the report on the attack on Eadu that he ordered.
"General Draven!" Hera yelled, calling out to Draven.
"We have a bone to pick with you!" Satele told Draven with anger in her voice.
"Commander Wren, General Syndulla," Draven said as he stood up and turned to face them as he placed his datapad on the holotable, "What can I do for the two of you?"
"Care to explain why you ordered an attack on Eadu?" Hera asked him with almost as much anger as Satele does in her voice.
"Well, I thought it was easier to get the operation done," Draven explained, nervously.
"You didn't have to order Cassian or a squadron of X-wing pilots to kill Galen Erso!" Satele said with anger in her voice.
"Your actions won't go unnoticed by rebel command," Hera told Draven, causing him to look shocked and nervous.
"Okay, the next time I'll do it, it'll be by the orders of rebel command instead of my own," Draven assured them.
"You'd better," Hera muttered as she crossed her arms.
"Yeah, you better or else we'll tell Senator Mothma the next time you do it," Satele said, agreeing with Hera as she placed her right hand over her hip.
Inside the Great Temple's command center, Senators Mon Mothma, Lux Bonteri and Bail Organa were discussing about what to do with the Empire in case they actually possessed a super weapon with the ability to destroy planets when Jyn suddenly entered the room, causing Mon Mothma to turn to her.
"Jyn, how was your mission with Captains Andor, Wren, Lieutenant Commander Wren and Commander Wren?" Mon Mothma asked her.
"Somewhat successful," Jyn answered, "We verified the pilot's story, the Empire nearly destroyed Jedha with their super weapon after we found Saw and met two people on Jedha who helped us fend off some stormtroopers that captured us within Jedha City, found my father on Eadu, but before we could rescue him and bring him here, he was killed."
"Then this means that we'll need to convey a meeting on this," Mon Mothma stated before turning to Lux and Organa, "Senators Organa and Bonteri, head to the debriefings room. We'll meet you both there in a moment." Both Lux and Organa nodded a response as they left the command center as she activated the Great Temple's intercom, "This is Senator Mon Mothma, will all personnel please report to the debriefings room for an immediate Council meeting." She and Jyn then left the command center as they began to head towards the Great Temple's debriefings room.
A while later in the Great Temple's debriefings room after Mon Mothma, Lux and Organa entered the room with Jyn along with Bodhi and a few other senators with two of them being human males with light skin as one of them had blue eyes and brown hair with a beard that had begun to gray named Nower Jebel of Uyter, while the other one had brown eyes, black hair and beard named Vasp Vaspar of the Taldot sector with one of the other senators being a human female with dark skin, brown eyes and hair named Tynnra Pamlo of Taris, while the last senator was a Pantoran female with blue skin that had yellow markings over her cheeks, gold eyes and pastel purple hair named Riyo Chuchi of Pantora.
A few of the Rebel Alliance's generals including Dodonna, Kalani, Merrick, a gray skinned Mon Calamari with yellow eyes named Raddus and an Iskaru with light skin, orange eyes and brown hair named Bistan with Sabine, Janus, Zeb and Chopper standing next to Satele and Hera around the holotable along with dozens of rebel pilots, rebel fleet troopers and a couple of B1, B2 and a couple of BX-series commando battle droids along with a few Droidekas surrounding them as everyone in the debriefings room were discussing about what to do about the Empire's super weapon, the Death Star.
"We must scatter the fleet," Pamlo stated, "We have no recourse, but to surrender."
"Are we really talking about disbanding something that we've worked so hard to create?" Organa asked her with disbelief.
"I agree, Senator Organa," Lux said, agreeing with the Alderaanian senator, "If we disband the Alliance, it would have been all for nothing."
"I also agree," Chuchi told them, agreeing with both Lux and Organa, "If we did that, then we wouldn't have had a single major victory against the Empire aside from the Ghost crew and a few others freeing Lothal."
"We can't just give in," Raddus stated.
"We joined an alliance, not a suicide pact," Vaspar argued.
"We've only now managed to gather our forces," Organa assured everyone.
"Gather our forces?" Jebel said with disbelief, "General Draven's already blown up an Imperial base."
"A decision needed to be made," Draven stated, defending his actions.
"No, it didn't, General," Satele argued, "That's as bad as Saw Gerrera's partisans and Death Watch ever were."
"Oh, but you have the guts to tell me about that, daughter of a Mandalorian who was a member of that terrorist splinter group?" Draven said, insulting her and Sabine's mother, causing them, Janus, Zeb and Chopper to look at him with anger in their eyes.
"General Draven, can I speak with you for a second?" Hera asked him before he nodded as they walked away from the holotable before she slapped him hard on the cheek, causing everyone but Satele, Sabine, Janus, Zeb and Mon Mothma to gasp, "That's for insulting Satele and Sabine's mother, no one insults their family!"
"Ow!" Draven yelled as his cheek started to hurt from the spot where Hera slapped him.
"I would've done the same thing to him for insulting Countess Wren," Janus muttered.
"I probably would have as well but probably harder if he insulted Bo-Katan as well," Satele stated, agreeing with her sister and boyfriend.
"Well said, General Syndulla," Mon Mothma said, agreeing with Hera as she and Draven walked back to the holotable as Hera stood back next to Satele, Sabine, Janus, Zeb and Chopper, "No one insults both Captain and Commander Wren's mother for what she did 20 years ago and regrets it or any of their other family members for that matter."
"Anyway, if it's war you want, you'll fight alone," Pamlo told Jyn.
"If that's the way it's going, why have an alliance at all?" Vaspar asked, rhetorically.
"If she's telling the truth, we need to act now!" Raddus stated.
"I agree, Admiral Raddus," Satele said, agreeing with the Mon Calamari.
"I agree as well," Hera stated, agreeing with the Mon Calamari and Mandalorian Jedi Knight.
"Me too," Lux said, agreeing with them.
"As much as I dislike war, I agree as well," Chuchi stated, agreeing with them.
"Councilors, please?" Mon Mothma said, trying to calm everyone down.
"It is simple, the Empire has the means of mass destruction," Merrick stated, "The Rebellion does not."
"A Death Star, this is nonsense," Jebel said with disbelief in his voice.
"What reason would my father have to lie?" Jyn asked him, "What benefit would it bring him?"
"To lure our forces into a final battle," Draven answered, "To destroy us once and for all."
"To risk everything, based on what?" Vaspar asked Jyn, "The testimony of a criminal? The dying words of her father, an Imperial scientist?"
"Oh, don't forget the Imperial pilot," Jebel added.
"My father gave his life so that we may have a chance to defeat this," Jyn told them.
"So you've told us," Dodonna stated.
"If I may?" Satele spoke up, "Remember when me, my sister and my boyfriend went to Faos station with Saw Gerrera last year? We found a large Kyber crystal that the Empire was transporting along with a dozen technicians, who heard about the Jedha system and the Death Star was used on Jedha, then there were those doonium shipments from all over the galaxy to a secret location with a rebel agent trying to stop the shipments that former Governor Pryce told us about after we freed Lothal before Thrawn and a friend of his, Commander Eli Vanto stopped the rebel agent before Commander Vanto left the Empire soon afterwards and Gerrera suspected that the Empire was using the Kyber crystal along with the technicians for a super weapon and here one is."
"Commander Wren's got a point," Hera said, agreeing with Satele.
"Yeah, I agree, General Syndulla," Lux told Hera, agreeing with her and Satele.
"Me too," Chuchi said, agreeing with Satele, Hera and Lux.
"If the Empire has this kind of power, what chance do we have?" Pamlo asked them.
"Senator, you're forgetting that there are two Jedi in the Rebellion that are both Mandalorian, that being me and my sister," Satele reminded Pamlo.
"She's right, Senator," Hera said, agreeing with Satele, "In my experience when you have a Jedi with you, you'll have a better chance of survival."
"What choice do we have?" Jyn repeated Pamlo with disbelief in her voice, "The question is, 'What choice?' Run? Hide? Plead for mercy? Scatter your forces? You give way to an enemy this evil with this much power and you condemn the galaxy to an eternity of submission. The time to fight is now!"
"Yes," Bodhi said, agreeing with her.
"So that's where that voice was coming from when I heard her voice saying it in the World between Worlds," Satele muttered to herself, recalling her time in the World between Worlds before she saved Ahsoka from being killed by Vader on Malachor.
"Every moment you waste is another step closer to the ashes of Jedha," Jyn went on.
"What is she proposing?" A male rebel within the crowd asked.
"Just let the girl speak," another male rebel told him.
"Send your troops to Scarif. Send the whole fleet if you have to," Jyn pleaded, "We need to capture the Death Star plans if there is any hope of destroying it."
"You're asking us to invade an Imperial installation based on nothing but hope?" Pamlo said with disbelief.
"Rebellions are built on hope," Jyn explained, recalling what Cassian told her back on Jedha.
"There is no hope," Vaspar argued.
"I say we fight!" Raddus stated.
"I agree, Admiral," Satele said, agreeing with the Mon Calamari.
"Me too," Hera told them, agreeing with them.
"As do I," Lux said, agreeing with Hera, Satele and Raddus.
"I also agree," Kalani stated, agreeing with Hera, Lux, Satele and Raddus.
"I agree as well," Chuchi said, agreeing with Kalani, Lux, Hera, Satele and Raddus.
"I say the Rebellion is finished!" Jebel argued as a few more rebels began to say something similar to what he said.
"I'm sorry, Jyn," Mon Mothma told Jyn with regret in her voice, "Without the full support of the council, the odds are too great." As she said this, Jyn and Bodhi began to walk away as Satele, Sabine, Janus, Zeb, Hera and Chopper walked away as well as they left the debriefings room.
"Jyn!" Satele said, calling after Jyn as she, her sister, boyfriend, Zeb, Hera and Chopper chased after her, "Jyn!"
"What is it that you guys want?" Jyn asked the Ghost crew as she stopped and turned around towards them.
"What we wanted to say is that we fully support you," Hera told Jyn.
"And that we agree with you," Zeb stated.
"We'll go along with whatever you plan on doing, Jyn," Sabine told Jyn.
"And we'll support you all the way," Janus added before Chopper grunted a response, agreeing with them.
"I was planning on having Captain Cassian Andor and the others go to Scarif with me to recover the plans," Jyn explained.
"We'll fully support you on that," Satele told her, "But we'll go to Scarif when the time comes."
"Yeah, I'll take my ship, the Ghost when the time comes," Hera stated.
"I'll join her along with Kallus," Zeb told Jyn before Chopper grunted a response.
"We know that you'll join them as well, Chop," Janus said as he looked at the astromech droid, "You're Hera's droid after all."
"And I'll take my Kom'rk-class fighter, the Brental Star," Satele added, "If there's a space battle, then, we're gonna fight in it."
"I'll be with my sister," Sabine told Jyn.
"As will I," Janus added, agreeing with his girlfriend's sister.
"Alright," Jyn said, feeling a bit better, "I'll go assemble Captain Andor and the rest of the crew and anyone else that wants to come with us." Jyn then left the Ghost crew to gather her team for the assault on Scarif, while they went to recruit Raddus, Mart and the Bad Batch for the possible space battle over the planet.
Meanwhile in another section of the Great Temple, Cade and Organa were walking down one of the hallways near the debriefings room.
"What did you want to speak to me about, Senator?" Cade asked the Alderaanian senator.
"What I wanted to speak to you about was Leia," Organa answered.
"What about her?" Cade asked him.
"She's your niece," Organa answered.
"What do you mean by that, Senator?" Cade asked him with confusion and shock in his voice.
"I think you already know, Captain," Organa told him.
"Anakin and Padmé had a child?" Cade realized as he suddenly remembered that his half-brother married Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo at the very beginning of the Clone Wars after the First Battle of Geonosis.
"She wasn't their only child, Cade," Organa told him, "You also have a nephew named Luke, he lives on Tatooine with your other brother and his wife."
"He's with Owen and Beru?" Cade said with shock in his voice.
"Indeed, Captain," Organa confirmed.
"Why were they separated?" Cade asked him.
"They were separated at birth so they wouldn't follow the same fate as their father and your brother towards the dark side," Organa explained.
"Is there a reason why you're telling me this?" Cade asked him.
"Because I want you to accompany Leia to your home planet of Tatooine," Organa answered.
"Why?" Cade asked her, "What's so important on Tatooine that you want to send Leia there?"
"Your old master, Obi-Wan Kenobi is there hiding from the Empire and watching your nephew," Organa explained.
"Master Kenobi's alive?" Cade said with shock in his voice, "But your reports said that he was killed during Order 66."
"I had to lie in those reports as he's on a secret mission on Tatooine," Organa explained, "One that General Cody helped him with after Commander Rex removed his inhibitor chip."
"Didn't Satele find Cody on Tatooine when she traveled to my home planet a few years ago?" Cade asked him, recalling what he heard Satele do when she traveled to Tatooine to warn Obi-Wan about Maul when he went after the famed Jedi Master and before the rebels lost their base on the planet of Atollon.
"She did when she heard the voice of the former Sith Lord known as Maul coming from the holocron of her and Sabine's deceased Jedi master, Kanan Jarrus," Organa confirmed.
"I will accompany her to Tatooine then," Cade assured the Alderaanian as he began to walk away from him.
"Oh, there is one more thing, Cade," Organa told him.
"What is it, Senator?" Cade asked him as he stopped and walked back towards him.
"I want you to promise me that you'll train Leia in the ways of the Force in case I die in a few days if the Empire uses their super weapon on my home planet of Alderaan," Organa answered.
"I promise you that I will, Senator," Cade promised the Alderaanian, causing Organa to smile.
"General Syndulla, please report back to the briefing room," they heard a masculine voice say on the Great Temple's intercom, "General Syndulla, please report back to the briefing room."
"Good luck, Captain Avenger," Organa told Cade as they began to walk away from each other as they began to walk in separate directions.
Outside the Great Temple and near a Mon Calamari MC75 Star Cruiser known as the Profundity, Satele, Sabine, Janus, Hera, Zeb and Chopper approached Raddus, Mart and the Bad Batch, with Crosshair, Stark and Taser having their armors repainted to match the same color scheme as the other members of the Bad Batch with Crosshair having the skull on his right pauldron being replaced by the Rebel Alliance's Starbird, while Stark and Taser had the Rebel Alliance's Starbird painted on their armors' left pauldron as they all stood near the Mon Calamari MC75 Star Cruiser.
"General Syndulla, Commander Wren, Lieutenant Commander Wren and Captains Wren and Orrelios," Raddus, Mart and the Bad Batch greeted the Ghost crew.
"What can we do for you guys?" Hunter asked them.
"They want to recruit you guys to go to Scarif, while Jyn and the others go to the planet's surface and get the plans for the Empire's super weapon," Cade answered.
"Cade's right, that's what we were going to do," Hera said, agreeing with Cade.
"I was already planning on going," Raddus stated.
"We suspected as much Admiral," Satele told the Mon Calamari before turning to Mart and the Bad Batch, "How about you guys?"
"I'm also going," Mart responded.
"Let me and my squad think about it first," Hunter told Hera and Satele.
"Take all the time you guys want, but be quick about it," Sabine said as she looked at Hunter and the other members of the Bad Batch, "We're going once we get a signal from Jyn and the others."
"I really hope they agree and go to Scarif with us," Zeb muttered.
"I agree, Zeb," Janus said, agreeing with the Lasat before Chopper grunted a response.
"So, what do you guys think of going to Scarif with them?" Hunter asked his squad as he walked up to them.
"I think it's worth a shot," Omega answered.
"I agree," Echo said, agreeing with the female clone.
"I also agree, so I can destroy those Imps," Wrecker stated, agreeing with Omega and Echo.
"Me too," Tech said, agreeing with them, "We need these plans so we can destroy this super weapon."
"If the Empire had the ability to destroy planets when I joined the Empire after Order 66, I would've defected a long time ago, so I also agree," Crosshair stated, agreeing with them as he had a toothpick in his mouth, "We need to destroy this super weapon."
"I also would've defected earlier as well," Stark said, agreeing with Crosshair, "And I expect that the Thirteenth Brother would have as well instead of when you guys freed Lothal. So, I believe that we should join them to go to Scarif as well."
"I believe that we should go to Scarif and help them retrieve the plans to the Empire's super weapon as well," Taser muttered, agreeing with them.
"Me too," Shield said, agreeing with them.
"As do I," Arrow stated, agreeing with them.
"How about you, Cade?" Hunter asked Cade, "Do you also agree?"
"I'm not going with you guys," Cade told them, "Senator Organa gave me a special mission to accompany Princess Leia to my home planet of Tatooine."
"Well, I'm going to see what they want for me in the briefing room," Hera said as she left the others and began heading towards the briefing room.
"See you guys later," Cade told everyone as he left them as well as he went to meet Leia as they looked up at the sky as the impounded Zelta-class Cargo Shuttle lifted off of the ground and flipped its wings downwards as it left Yavin 4's atmosphere as it began heading towards Scarif with Jyn, Cassian, Chirrut, Baze, Bodhi, K-2SO and a few others on board the Imperial shuttle.
Inside the Great Temple's debriefings room, Senators Mon Mothma, Bail Organa and Lux Bonteri were speaking to each other as Mon Mothma and Lux left the debriefings room's holotable after Organa reentered the debriefings room.
"Despite what the others say, war is inevitable," Mon Mothma told Organa and Lux.
"That is one reason why I agreed with Jyn, Senator Chuchi, Generals Syndulla, Kalani, Admiral Raddus and Commander Wren," Lux stated, agreeing with her.
"Yes, I agree with you both," Organa said, agreeing with them, "I must return to Alderaan to inform my people that there will be no peace."
"I wish I could do the same for my people on Onderon," Lux told them, "But I'm a very well-known rebel."
"We will need every advantage," Mon Mothma added, "Your friend, Senator Organa, the Jedi."
"He served me well during the Clone Wars and has lived in hiding since the Emperor's purge," Organa told her, "Even Senator Bonteri here has met him a few times."
"I have, Senator Organa?" Lux said with surprise before realizing who he meant, "You don't mean…"
"I indeed do mean him," Organa confirmed.
"But reports said that he was killed on Utapau after killing the General of the Separatist droid army, General Grievous," Lux said with confusion in his voice.
"It's a long story," Organa told him, "And yes, I will send for him."
"You'll need someone you can trust," Mon Mothma stated.
"Yeah, you'll need someone who you can trust to get his help without going yourself, Senator Organa," Lux said, agreeing with Mon Mothma.
"I would trust her and Captain Avenger with my life," Organa told them before leaving the debriefings room, leaving Mon Mothma and Lux alone with the other rebels in the debriefings room as he called out to one of his fellow male Alderaanian rebels with light skin, brown eyes and hair, wearing the uniform of a rebel fleet trooper, "Captain Antilles."
"Senator," Antilles said as he went to receive his orders from Organa.
"I have a mission for you, Sir," Organa told him.
Outside the Great Temple and near the Tantive IV, which was on a landing pad outside the temple as Leia, who was wearing a white traditional gown that had long sleeves, a turtleneck along with a hood and had her hair in the style of twin buns stood near the CR90 Corvette as Cade exited the Great Temple and began to approach the Alderaanian princess.
"Nice to see you again, Princess," Cade said, greeting Leia as he walked up to her.
"You too, Captain," Leia replied as she shook his hand, "So, Father is sending you with us to your home planet of Tatooine?"
"Indeed, Princess," Cade confirmed, "I haven't been back to Tatooine since my mother, Shmi died just before the Clone Wars began."
"You still must miss her," Leia told him with sadness in her voice.
"I do," he confirmed, "I was just a teenager when it happened."
"I never knew my parents," Leia stated, "I've been adopted for as long as I can remember."
"I knew your parents, Leia," Cade told her, "You're the daughter of my half-brother, Anakin Skywalker and his wife, Padmé Amidala."
"So, I'm your niece and you're my uncle?" Leia said with shock and surprise in her voice, "And I'm the daughter of my heroes, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala?"
"You sure are, Princess," Cade confirmed with a smile on his face.
"How do you know this, Captain?" Leia asked her uncle.
"Because your stepfather told me just before he assigned me to this mission," Cade answered, "And I'm glad that you're my niece, you somewhat remind me of your mother."
"Enough of that, you two," Antilles told Cade and Leia as he walked towards them and began to approach the CR90 corvette as he walked past them, "We need to get ready for takeoff."
As Hera entered the Great Temple's briefing room, she saw a man with fair skin, blue eyes and brown hair, wearing an earth colored rebel officer's uniform with Kallus, Yularen, Rex and Cody standing near him as he had his right hand over his hip.
"General Syndulla," the rebel officer said, greeting the Twi'lek.
"Captain Rieekan," Hera greeted the rebel officer, "What do you, Captain Kallus, Colonel Yularen, Commander Rex and General Cody want?"
"Actually, only I wanted to speak with you, General Syndulla," Rieekan told her, "Captain Kallus, Colonel Yularen, Commander Rex and General Cody were already here."
"We also wanted to see what he wanted you for, Hera," Rex said as he looked at Hera.
"I know what you plan to do, General Syndulla, but I don't think you're capable of it, considering your condition," Rieekan explained.
"What do you mean by 'my condition,' Captain?" Hera asked Rieekan with confusion in her voice.
"You're pregnant with your deceased boyfriend's child," Rieekan answered, "And you might give birth any day now, so I believe it's best if someone else took your place instead."
"I'll fight the Empire until it is defeated and freedom is restored to the galaxy," Hera stated as she looked at Rieekan.
"I agree with her," Rex said, agreeing with Hera.
"Me too," Cody told Rieekan, agreeing with Rex and Hera.
"As do I," Kallus stated, agreeing with Hera and the clones.
"I also agree," Yularen told Rieekan, agreeing with Hera, the clones and Kallus, "Just let her go to Scarif, Captain."
"Fine," Rieekan relented, "There's no stopping you, is there, General Syndulla?"
"There isn't, Captain Rieekan," Hera confirmed with a smile before turning to Kallus, "Want to come to Scarif with us, Kallus?"
"I was already planning to, General," Kallus answered, "And I suggested it to Lyste once we heard that the plans for the Empire's super weapon is on Scarif, so we're both coming with."
"Good luck at Scarif," Yularen told Hera and Kallus as they began to leave the briefing room.
"Yeah, wish us luck, Colonel," Hera said, agreeing with the former ISB colonel as she and Kallus left the briefing room.
Meanwhile in the communications center of the Great Temple, Tenzigo was sitting at one of the communication systems with his microphone over his ears before taking them off and getting up as he rushed out of the communications room and the Great Temple.
"Senator Mothma!" Tenzig yelled as he rushed towards Mon Mothma, who was standing outside of the Great Temple with Lux, Merrick and Draven as Chopper rolled and grunted in the background, "Senator!"
"Stop right there, Private," Merrick said as he grabbed Tenzigo, stopping him from running any further.
"Let him speak," Mon Mothma told him.
"I want to hear what he has to say as well," Lux said, agreeing with Mon Mothma.
"Intercepted Imperial transmission," Tenzigo explained, "Rebels on Scarif."
"I need to speak to Admiral Raddus, General Syndulla, Commander Wren, Sergeant Hunter and his squad," Mon Mothma told him.
"You can't," Tenzigo protested.
"Why can't she?" Lux asked him.
They've returned to their ships. They're going to fight," Tenzigo explained, causing Merrick to look at both Mon Mothma and Lux as both senators had smiles on their faces.
Soon multiple rebel pilots from Red, Gold, Blue and Phoenix Squadrons rushed into the hangar bay of the Great Temple and began to enter their X-wings, which were stationed within the hangar bay.
"Attention all flight personnel, please report to your commanders immediately," a masculine voice said on the Great Temple's intercom as a few rebel engineers placed fuel caves into the X-wings' tanks as a couple of rebel troopers were holding signals with red lights as the X-wings closed their cockpits' canopy, "Attention all flight personnel, please report to your commanders immediately. We have been redirected to Scarif. Pilots, you'll be briefed by your squadron leaders en route. May the Force be with you."
"Scarif? They're going to Scarif?" C-3PO, who was standing in the hangar bay with R2-D2 said with disbelief as the X-wings began to leave Yavin 4 and head towards Scarif, "Why does nobody ever tell me anything, R2?" R2 then beeped a response as they left the hangar bay and began to head towards the Tantive IV.
