Narration:"The Jedi strike team have finally managed to break out of the Separatist base! But now as the Droids and their generals Rey Ho and Gar Kuck regroup and prepare a plan to stop the team, can the Jedi escape alive, with the tank intact as Dooku comes closer and closer to catching them!"
In the Separatist command center, Rey Ho, the Talz Separatist leader is sweating badly as the Jedi have escaped and Count Dooku, who is most furious is heading there to deal with the issue himself as Dooku feels after the disaster in the recent mission at the Citadel under the command of Osi Sobeck, he cannot rely so much on his Separatist generals. Meanwhile Gar Kuck is downright fuming at Rey Ho and soon Gar Kuck yells "Why didn't you let me stab them when I had the chance?! and Rey Ho turns in his seat and replies "I felt- We could have gotten useful information from them, but I see you are right now, rally up the Commando Droids and prepare the tanks. we'll kill them, no hostages!" and Gar Kuck turning to the button to order the Droids to fall in mutters "It would have been so much better for us if you ordered me to kill them sooner".
Meanwhile, the Jedi team duck behind some rocks about six clicks west of the Droid base to avoid a squad of four staps that were heading close to them. Once the staps are past, the team emerge from behind the rocks and Obi-Wan turns to the remainder of the team and says "We need to split up, to give those Droids two things to think about rather than one". Obi-Wan, Saesee Tiin, Cody and the remaining 212th Clone head left while Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex and Garand head the other way to distract the Droids.
Meanwhile, Count Dooku has arrived at the Separatist base and he strolls confidently towards Rey Ho and Gar Kuck and says "You two will head for General Obi-Wan Kenobi and engage him, while I deal with young Skywalker and his padawan" and Gar Kuck replies "Yes, sir" before boarding a stap and waits for Rey Ho to board another stap before they set off for Obi-Wan's position while Dooku boards his speeder bike and heads the other way.
Soon Obi-Wan spots a movement after they have been walking for about two clicks and he stops Cody, Saesee Tiin and the 212th Clone and he spots seven staps commanded by Rey Ho coming his way to engage him. (Gar Kuck took another seven staps in a different direction). Obi-Wan orders Cody and the 212th Clone to take cover behind a rock as he and Saesee Tiin ignite their lightsabers and deflect the blaster bolts fired by the staps back at the staps eleminating two staps while knocking a Commando Droid off a third stap, Cody quickly reacts by shooting the falling Commando Droid in the head. The 212th Clone then takes out a rocket launcher and fires it at the staps knocking all of the staps down. Quickly Rey Ho and the three remaining Commando Droids take cover behind the fallen staps and shoot back at Obi-Wan and Saesee Tiin.
Not far off, as Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex and Garand keep moving, Anakin hears a sound and turns to the left to see a speeder bike approaching. The speeder stops and Anakin immediately recognizes Count Dooku strolling towards them with two Magnaguards behind him. Anakin immediately tells Ahsoka, Rex and Garand to take care of the Magnaguards while he fights Dooku but Ahsoka refuses and says she wants to fight Dooku with him. Rex and Garand run off and Dooku orders the Magnaguards to chase and eliminate the Clones before turning to Anakin and saying "So, we meet again Skywalker, but this time you have your padawan to help you!" before Dooku laughs uncontrollably. Ahsoka looks at Dooku angrily and Anakin notices this and says "We'll take him together" and Ahsoka says "I'm taking him now!" and she leaps at Dooku but after only a couple of blows between lightsabers, Dooku uses force choke to hurl Ahsoka against a rock knocking her unconcious.
Meanwhile above the Venator class star destroyer known as "Galactic", Jedi Master Plo Koon is on the bridge with the Republic Admiral Alcar and Clone Commander Wolffe. Plo Koon informs Wolffe and Alcar that a ship commandeered by bounty hunters is the best way to rescue the team with the tank intact. As he finishes, the doors open and the bounty hunter called Sugi strolls in confidently and she looks at Plo Koon and says "Jedi, our ship is ready and we should hurry as droid forces continue to surround the team with each passing minute" and Wolffe replies "We'll have to cover their escape as they try to get on this ship" and Plo adds "But we must attatch the Separatist tank to your ship no matter the cost" and Alcar turns to Sugi and says "I offer my services as co-pilot for the rescue part of the mission" and Sugi smiles and replies "Accepted, it will allow Embo to show his skills with his crossbow and not as co-pilot". Wolffe, Plo Koon, Sugi and Alcar then head to the Halo where Embo and Clone Trooper Sinker are already waiting for them with three more Wolfpack Troopers.
Back down on the surface, Rex and Garand have seperated so as to catch the Magnaguards in a crossfire and eliminate them. Rex is hiding behind a rock on the left and Garand is hiding behind a rock to the left. Once the Magnaguards appear the two Clones leap from their hiding spot and shoot at the Magnaguard that is closest to them. Garands shots hit one Magnaguard straight in the head and that Magnaguard collapses, but Rex's shots were rushed and miss giving the Magnaguard the chance to slask at Rex with it's electro-staff which Rex dodges but he loses his grip on both his pistols which fly off. The Magnaguard moves in to finish Rex off but Garand appears just in time to shoot the Magnaguard through the head and the Magnaguard collapses and Rex shakily gets up and retrieves his pistols and they head off to help Anakin.
Meanwhile, Anakin ignites his lightsaber and rushes angrily at Dooku. Dooku easily parry's Anakin's first attacks before force pushing Anakin out of the way. Dooku himself then goes on the attacks as Anakin crashes into a rock but the dazed Anakin just about recovers and he parrys Dooku's attack, but Dooku force chokes Anakin before hurling Anakin along the ground into another rock before using the force to throw Anakin's lightsaber aside. But as Dooku goes in for the kill, Rex and Garand arrive and they shoot at Dooku just as he is about to attack Anakin. Dooku easily parries the blaster bolts but while he is distracted it gives Anakin time to recover and he attacks back at Dooku. Dooku parries the attacks but as Dooku is about to counter, Ahsoka appears having recovered from the blow to her head and together Ahsoka and Anakin begin to wear out Dooku but just as they think they can defeat Dooku, he uses force lightning on both Ahsoka and Anakin before sending them flying into Rex and Garand, as they watch on Dooku boards his solar sailor before flying off back to the base.
Not far off, Obi-Wan, Saesee Tiin, Cody and the 212th Clone continue to fight Rey Ho and the Commando Droids. the 212th Clone runs out from cover and throws a droid popper which eliminates the Commando Droids but while the Clone was out of cover, Rey Ho takes a shot with his blaster pistol and kills the Clone straight through the head. Cody then shoots the pistol out of Rey Ho's hand and Obi-Wan and Saesee Tiin quickly surround Rey Ho but before they can capture him, more staps led by Gar Kuck arrive and start firing at them. Obi-Wan, Saesee Tiin and Cody hide behind the destroyed staps. Rey Ho quickly recovers and runs off deserting Gar Kuck who yells angrily after Rey Ho "Dooku will get you for this you coward!!!" Cody shoots at Gar Kuck's stap knocking him off and the Commando Droids jump off their staps to join Gar Kuck just as Ahsoka, Rex, Garand and Anakin appear to help. Gar Kuck takes out two electro-staffs and charges at Obi-Wan and they start dueling.
Anakin, Ahsoka and Saesee Tiin quickly slice up all the Commando Droids as Gar Kuck and Obi-Wan continue dueling, Kuck drives his knee into Obi-Wan's stomach knocking Obi-Wan to the ground as his lightsaber spins away. Gar Kuck yells "I've always wanted to kill a Jedi!" and he prepares to stab Obi-Wan but just before he can, a lightsaber plunges through his back before another one is plunged through the front of his heart and Ahsoka appears and pulls the lightsabers out as Gar Kuck falls. Anakin mutters "Nice work, Ahsoka" and Ahsoka replies "He was too evil and villainous to be left alive" and just as the team start to walk off, the Halo appears and Alcar says to Plo Koon "The team has been spotted General" and Plo replies "Make for their position now, the Droid tanks are closing!" and the craft lands but as the team start to head towards the doors, several AAT's and a squad of staps appear and start firing at the Halo. Wolffe, Sinker, Embo and the Wolfpack Troopers fire at the tanks to give the team cover fire as Anakin and Obi-Wan attatch the captured AAT to the Halo before Anakin and Obi-Wan join the others in the Halo as Sugi pilots the Halo and they leave the system.
Later on, aboard the "Galactic", the Halo lands and everyone leaves the ship except Sugi and Embo. Alcar and Plo Koon head back to the bridge while Ahsoka, Sinker, Wolffe, Anakin and Obi-Wan gather around the captured AAT and Wolffe turns to Obi-Wan and says "We'll begin to scan it's armour soon enough General, once the engineers are here" and Obi-Wan replies "Very well Commander, good job down there" to which Wolffe takes off his helmet and says "We did what we Clones were bred to do, to follow instructions" and Sinker adds "And to break up clankers!" and the team laughs with Sinker's joke as the story ends!
Extra little trivia:
Not mentioned in the story but Rey Ho was killed in this episode. It wasn't mentioned as I wanted to use the ending that I did so if you want to know how Rey Ho died here's how!
"Rey Ho stumbles into the base, shocked and knowing that if Dooku finds him he will be killed. He runs towards the command centre intending to disable the base from there but to his shock finds Dooku already waiting there. Dooku glares at Rey Ho and says "You deserted us?" and Rey Ho stutters "My lord-i'm just trying to make my way in the galaxy but without this tedious war now!" and Dooku replies "Very well, but take one more step and you will die" and Rey Ho replies "I don't believe you" and he takes a step backwards and immediately a electro-staff is plunged into his back killing him."
Dooku had laid a trap for Rey Ho where he had Magnaguards hidden and when Rey Ho arrived in the command centre they came out of their hiding place.
