Narration: “Conflict! Across many battlefields, some JedI Padawans are forced to take charge of missions! One such conflict, above the planet of Codoma, Ahsoka Tano prepares to lead a fighter attack, against a lone Separatist frigate that appeared on her scopes! She is as of yet unaware, of what will happen next!”
Ahsoka Tano stands on the bridge of a Venator-Class Star Destroyer, looking out into space, where a Separatist frigate has just appeared. She turns to several of the Clone Naval Officers on the bridge with her, and says, “Get me Admiral Yularen!”. One of the Clone Naval Officers obliges, and a holgram of Yularen appears before Ahsoka. Ahsoka asks, “Are the pilots ready to battle?” and Yularen replies “Yes. They are just boarding their ARC-170 star fighters now in fact”. Ahsoka says “Good. I will join them in the fray. Admiral, keep an eye on the bridge while I’m waiting”. Yularen says “Yes, Commander Ahsoka”.
Ahsoka hops in her JedI Starfighter, and leads a squadron of ARC-170 star fighters out of the Star Destroyer. Ahsoka transmits to the ARC-170 pilots, “Follow my tail, and cover my back. This could be a rough one!” and they all reply “Yes, Commander Tano!”. Vulture Droids race out from the Separatist Frigate, one ARC-170 Pilot yells, “Lock onto your targets!” and they open fire, the battle turning into a reckless one, almost immediately a damaged Vulture Droid narrowly missing smashing into Ahsoka’s star fighter. Ahsoka being forced to a spinning move Anakin Skywalker would have been proud of. Ahsoka manages to shoot down several Vulture Droids, but after the loss of many ARC-170’s, Ahsoka realizes the battle is lost. As she contemplates whether to retreat or not, she is hit with a powerful blast that could not have come from a Vulture Droid. Ahsoka looks up, and her horror, sees that another two Separatist Frigates have joined the battle. Knowing the battle is definitely lost, Ahsoka decides now would be a good time to retreat, but realizes her ship is on fire! As she realizes that she had taken a big hit, her ship goes into an uncontrollable spin and heads for a planet, which she crashes on heavily. On the bridge, Yularen had watched this all with horror, and calls out, “Retreat! Retreat!” to the remaining Republic forces. Yularen looking stricken as he knows that Ahsoka landed on a Separatist-controlled planet, but with no choice left, they evacuate the system.
Ahsoka Tano wakes up hours later, bruised she notices, but not hurt. She can’t say the same for her Droid through, R7-A7, whose remains she finds shattered underneath her destroyed starfighter. She realizes pretty soon she is being watched, and she turns around to find a orange Twi’Lek standing there. Ahsoka notes how this Twi’Lek is pretty much the same as Aayla Secura, and similar fashion sense, but with orange skin. Ahsoka asks, “Who are you?” and the Twi’Lek replies “My name is Cristi Dom. I know who you are, you are a JedI. This is a heavy Separatist world, you won’t find much assistance here” and Ahsoka replies, “I crash landed here during a battle, I had no choice”. Cristo says “Neither did we, when the Separatists occupied us. But, with time, most of us grew to like the Separatists”. Ahsoka says, “You said ‘most’?” and Cristi replies “I’m proof of that. Not all of us like them. I’m sure you might have heard of Ryloth’s struggles, those of us here that detest them, see it as similar to that”. Cristi looks around nervously, muttering, “Anyway, we shouldn’t be here! I’ll conceal you in my home for tonight, and arange a ship to escort you off world tomorrow!”.
Ahsoka follows Cristi Dom into her home, which to both their surprise is in ruins. As they search the decimated place, Cristi asks, “Who could have done this?” and Ahsoka replies “I’m sure we’ll find some answers”. Ahsoka’s foot nudges something, and she finds a protocol droid lying destroyed on the ground. Cristi says “That was my droid. C4-T9”. Ahsoka says, “It seems whoever dismantled your place, destroyed your possesions, and you’re droid too!”. Ahsoka looks around and spots something on a table. Ahsoka and Cristi walk forward together. Cristi activates it, and a hologram of General Grievous appears, Cristi and Ahsoka watch as Grievous destroys most of Cristi’s belongings, and destroying the unfortunate C4-T9. Once the holgram fades, Ahsoka says “Grievous is here! We’re in for a sleepless night, it seems!”. Suddenly, the lights in the house fade, as the story ends!
