She takes my hands, and we close our eyes. The vision is blurry at first, but then clears. I see the kid, looking smaller and younger somehow, in the pram he first came to us in. There are a handful of Jedi with him, fighting back against Clones. There are also two teenagers with him, a boy and a girl. They're both Greylings. Most of the Jedi drop dead, and two of them leave with Grogu and the two teens. More Clones appear, and one of the Jedi tells the other to get Grogu and the teens to a Kelleran Beq.

The baby is moved to an elevator by the two teens as the Jedi and Clones fight, but the two Jedi are killed. Thankfully, the elevator door closes before the Clones can get to them. The girl looks near tears, but stays strong for Grogu. The elevator dings, and the doors open to reveal another Jedi. This one is dark skinned and bald.

"Everything is gonna be alright, kids." He says. I've heard his voice before, it's the one from Sorgan, and when I was panicking on the ice planet. He picks up the fallen Jedi's saber, and turns around as two Clones land with a flying bike. The Jedi, whom I assume is the Kelleran Beq mentioned earlier, fights the three Clones, deflecting the blaster fire back at them. He gets two of them, then uses the Force to push the last one off the edge.

More appear as the girl pushes Grogu's pram to the flying bike, making sure he's secure. The boy helps protect them from blaster fire with a purple lightsaber. The boy and the girl jump on the bike as even more Clones appear. Kelleran turns off his two sabers and has the teens move forward, sitting behind them.

He takes off, flying away from the temple and into the congestion of the city. The teens and Kelleran are a little squished, but it's better than being left behind. It's not long before a ship finds them, and fires at them. They hit the engine, making the ride a bit more rocky.

The ship keeps firing at them, seemingly not caring about the collateral damage to the city. They bob and weave through air traffic, the girl constantly checking on Grogu. Suddenly, Kelleran dips down, getting under walkways for cover. The Clones give no fucks about city damage, hitting a building that causes an explosion.

Seeing the explosion, the girl hits a button to close Grogu's pram, protecting him. Kelleran sees a subway tunnel, and flies into it. There's a train coming right at them, with the clone ship behind them. Grogu's pram opens, and he coos in concern.

"Master!" The boy yells, frightened. Kelleran is calm as he gets closer and closer to the train. At the last possible second, he exits the tunnel through and opening, and we can hear the train demolish the Clone ship. Kelleran flies through crowds and up stairs, somehow not hitting a single person.

He gets back in the air, and not far from there is a landing pad. "Don't worry, we're gonna meet up with some friends of mine. But hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy landing." He tells all three of them. Grogu closes his pram again as Kelleran comes in too fast. He skids across the pad, sparks flying. He hits a bump that stops the bike, but send him and the Greyling teens a few feet.

Thankfully, they didn't fall off the pad, and Grogu is still on the bike. Kelleran checks on Grogu as the teens get up, and Grogu smiles and coos at him. A voice calls his name, confirming it's him. Kelleran tells the handful of Coruscantian guards the Clones are right behind him. When asked about others, Kelleran tells him there are no others.

The second Clone ship that was chasing them appears, landing on the pad. The guard tells him to take the kids, the ship is fueled and ready to go. All the guards fire at the Clones, one dying instantly. The teens push the pram after Kelleran, all of them getting on the ship. In the cockpit, the girl pushes Grogu's pram into a seat, and they hold on to the seats.

Kelleran flies off, dodging blasters as he enters space. A few shots ding off the ship, but it's a well made ship. Once a safe distance from the planet, Kelleran makes the jump to hyperspace. It's a few moments before he lets out a breath.
