"Hey, stop right there!" A stormtrooper told Chirrut as he continued to walk forward.

They raised their guns at him, "He's blind!" a stormtrooper pointed out as Chirrut stood right in front of him.

"I said stop right there!" A stormtrooper who was directly in front of him said, his gun pointed straight at Chirrut.

Chirrut turned his head towards every movement by the stormtroopers. The one in front of him shot at him but he quickly moved his head causing the laser to hit the trooper behind him. 

Jade was quick to elbow the stormtrooper that was loosely holding onto her right arm. Her hands were bound causing her to grab onto Sage's lightsaber and turn it on, cutting through her handcuffs. As soon as Sage realized what she was doing, Sage kicked her stormtrooper in the shit as hard as possible, his feet coming out from underneath him. Sage held out her hands to Jade and let Jade cut through her handcuffs as well.

Meanwhile, Chirrut was making his way through all the stormtroopers, letting a laser hit the stormtroopers that were holding Cassian and Jyn. Cassian and Jyn quickly got behind cover, Jade pushed Sage to follow them and Jade got behind a different rock, watching as Chirrut kicked all the stormtrooper's asses.

Once he finished them, seven more stormtroopers came running in and that's when Jade and Sage got involved. Turning on their lightsabers they ran forward, beginning to slice through the troopers. Dodging and defecting lasers from the blasters.

Then five more stormtroopers ran in from a different direction and were about to shoot Chirrut when a man holding a very big blaster shot from behind Chirrut at all five troopers, almost hitting Chirrut.

Jade and Sage deactivated their lightsabers as the man walked over to Chirrut, "You almost shot me," Chirrut said.

"You're welcome," The other one said, handing Chirrut a long blaster. He then shot down a stormtrooper who was attempting to stand up.

Jade and Sage but their lightsabers hooked on their back and under their cloak, out of sight. K-2SO got out from behind the wall Jyn and Cassian were behind. "Clear of hostiles," he said.

The other man pointed a blaster at K-2SO, K-2 raised his hands, "ONE HOSTILE."

Jyn ran out in front of him, "he's with us!" causing the man to lower his blaster. Chirrut gestured towards them, "they're all right." He vouched for them as Jade and Sage walked towards Jyn and Cassian, past Chirrut and the other man.

As K-2SO undid the handcuffs on Jyn and Cassian, he said, "Cassian, I'm sorry about the slap."

Cassian wasn't having it though, he still seemed angry, "go back to the ship. Wait for my call."

K-2SO did so without hesitation, nodding to Cassian and then running off out of the city. The four turned back to Chirrut and his friend. Cassian looked at Chirrut curiously, "is he a Jedi?"

"There are no Jedi here anymore, only dreamers like this food," the man said, gesturing to Chirrut and then looking at Sage and Jade, "or at least that's what we thought."

"The Force did protect me," Chirrut argued.

The man turned to him, shocked, "I protected you."

"Can you get us to Saw Gerrera?" Jyn asked Chirrut, and if almost on cue a bunch of Saw's rebels came in yelling.

They made Jade, Sage, Jyn and Cassian kneel down. Putting handcuffs on them all, including Chirrut and his friend. "Can't you see? We are no friends of the Empire," Chirrut said.

"Tell that to the one who killed our men," one of them said, gesturing to Cassian.

"Anyone to harms me or my friends will answer to Saw Gerrera!" Jyn yelled out causing all of them to stop.

"Why's that?" The rebel who spoke before asked.

"Because I'm the daughter of Galen Erso," Jyn said, causing the rebel to yelled something in a different language. Sacks were then put on all of their heads.

Chirrut was last to be blindfolded, "Are you kidding me? I'm blind!"

They were taken a long ways away from the city, but it wasn't the same place that Jade had been before. As they were about halfway there, Jade stopped and turned around, as did Sage and Chirrut. They couldn't see but they could feel it. They were soon all shoved to keep going. "They're pulling the destroyer back," Jade said to Cassian who was and had been walking next to her the whole time.

"What?" He asked quietly.

"They destroyer about the city, it's leaving, along with all their fighters and cargo ships, something is going on," Jade told him and they went silent. 

About ten minutes later, they were all shoved into a prison cell. Cassian attempted to get up and fight back but the man simply shoved him down and he fell to the floor. They had already searched Chirrut, his friend and Cassian and were now searching Sage and Jade for weapons.

They began getting lower on their backs and Jade shoved one of them, "Hey, get your hands off me," she said.

Sage did the same and the men simply put their hands up, not wanting others to think they were disrespecting Jade and Sage's bodies.

They had taken Jyn to go see Saw whilst Jade and Chirrut sat down on a rock in the cell. His friend stood next to Chirrut and Sage began pacing the cell.

"Sage, quit stressing yourself out, please plan in peace," Jade said, resting her head against the rock.

"Plan?" Chirrut's friend asked.

Jade only nodded, "Sage can see parts of the future through the Force, much more than other Jedi have been allowed."

"I am one with the Force, the Force is with me," Chirrut whispered, over and over and over again, quickly.

"You're praying?" His friend asked, "really?"

Cassian, whose head was against the bars of the prison cell looked and felt annoyed by Chirrut's praying. 

"It bothers him because he knows it's possible," Chirrut responded to his friend's sigh of annoyance.

His friend started laughing as Cassian bent down, opening his boot and taking a large pin out of a small bag and put it in his mouth, "Baze Malbus was once the most devoted guardian of us all," Chirrut said, referring to his friend, Baze.

"I'm beginning to think the Force and I have different priorities," Cassian said as he stoo back up, closing his boot and hiding the pin in his fist.

"Then you should change your priorities, Cassian," Sage said causing Jade and Chirrut to chuckle slightly.

Once Chirrut's chuckle died down he sighed, "Relax captain, we've been in worse cages than this one."

"This is a first for me," Cassian said as he watched outside the bars of the prison door.

"There is more than one sort of prison, Cass," Jade began, closing her eyes and sighing.

It went silent and Chirrut opened his mouth to speak but closed it, opening it again, "I sense that you carry yours wherever you go," he told Cassian causing Cassian's head to drop, obviously troubled by this.

Sage peered into the bars from their cell to the cell next to theirs and raised her eyebrows, "Uh, Cassian, I think I found that cargo pilot you were looking for."
