Narration: “Headlock! Asajj Ventress fights her former Master, Count Dooku, in the count’s very own palace! With Republic assistance in the siege on the palace, who will survive, and who will be left, victorious?!”
Obi-Wan Kenobi walks steadily inside Count Dooku’s palace, still winded from Asajj Ventress knocking him over earlier in the battle. Suddenly, a trap that Dooku set electrocutes Obi-Wan as he leans against the wall, before another trap grabs him around the neck, and starts to throttle him. As Obi-Wan thinks life is over for him, Anakin arrives, and upon noticing what is happening to Obi-Wan, he force pulls the trap away from Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan collapses to the ground, and gasps at Obi-Wan through streaming eyes, “Anakin! You’re a sight for sore eyes!” and Anakin replies “You don’t want to know how correct you are with that statement”. Anakin holds out his hand to help Obi-Wan up, and once Obi-Wan is on his feet, they continue walking.
Tactical Droid TK-11 has seen enough. He rushes through hallways, trying to escape the conflict. TK-11 knows there is no way the Republic won’t get him. He turns to find two doors opposite each other. TK-11 chooses the left one, unfortunately, Cody and other Clones had just decided to go through and they block TK-11’s path. TK-11 hurries over to the other door, but finds only Obi-Wan and Anakin behind it. Cody guns down TK-11 from behind, and Obi-Wan orders Cody to go with Anakin and finish off the Battle Droids, as Obi-Wan runs off to meet with the reinforcements.
Republic Gunship’s arrive with reinforcements. Luminara Unduli is the first to leave, followed by Commander Gree and Draa. 41st Legion Clones begin to pour out from other gunship’s as Obi-Wan arrives to update them on the situation. Obi-Wan says “Anakin has taken the other Clones to go and finish off the remaining Battle Droids, our task is to go and find Ventress” and Luminara replies “Very well, but I still can’t believe she has turned good”… Obi-Wan smiles, but it more of a grimace, says, “Oh, she hasn’t. She just wants us to help her get back at Dooku, then she’ll leave the war”. Commander Gree interrupts by saying “Begging your pardon Generals, but I’m not sure I can serve with that witch, she killed a lot of good brothers a while ago”. Luminara says “Indeed, though, if it wasn’t for Argayus’s betrayal, it might not have been so easy for her!”. Obi-Wan says “Perhaps, we might want to think on the present at this moment?” and they enter the palace.
Ventress and Dooku continue their ferocious duel, both fighting to the death, and it starts to get dirty, as both are so desperate to kill the other. Ventress kicks Dooku in the unmentionables, before force-pushing him against the wall. Dooku retaliates by using force-lightning on her, and watches with satisfaction as Ventress writhes in agony on the ground. As Ventress tries to get her breath back, Dooku starts to force choke her, before slamming her down on the ground, hurling her against the wall. As Ventress tries to regain her balance, Dooku force chokes her again, before pulling her towards him, and impaling her by driving his lightsaber through her chest. Ventress collapses dead, and her mission has failed… Dooku shows no remorse, as he gets on his speeder and leaves his palace, never to return to it…
All the Separatist forces have been wiped out. Anakin rushes to where Obi-Wan and Luminara stand outside the palace and asks, “No sign of Ventress?” and Obi-Wan replies “None” and Luminara adds “It is possible she might have left”. Just then, Cody, Waxer and Boil come over to them, and Cody says, “Generals, I found something I think you should see!”. The six of them enter the place where Ventress was killed, and find her body. Obi-Wan said “At least she died fighting for what she wanted” and Anakin mutters “But failed”. There is nothing left to do on Serenno, so they head back to the gunship’s as the story ends!
