Narration: “Ahsoka Tano is held hostage by General Grievous! Now, it is up to Masters Plo Koon, Mace Windu and Adi Gallia to rescue her!”

Plo Koon walks through the hangar of the Venator-Class Star Destroyer heading for the planet Ahsoka Tano is being held on. Plo walks up to Admiral Coburn, Adi Gallia and Mace Windu who are standing by several Republic Gunships. Mace says “Are we ready to board the gunship’s?” and Coburn replies “Yes, General. The gunship’s have all been prepared for this assignment”. Just as the JedI are about to board their respective gunships, a voice calls out “Hold up!” and they see Commander Wolffe running towards them. Plo asks, “What is it, Commander?” and Wolffe replies “Just got word that the Separatists have deployed Proton Cannons everywhere. There’s no way we can use gunship’s to land there!” and Plo says, “That is ill news”. Mace looks thoughtful for a moment, and says, “What if we use the Turbo Tanks to land, they are firm vehicles that would land well”. Wolffe chuckles, before saying “That tactic would definitely suit General Skywalker!” and Mace replies “I hope he doesn’t find out about this”… before they all head for the Turbo Tanks.

The Clone Turbo Tanks are deployed from the Star Destroyer, and they plummet down towards the surface, making a big impact landing. Plo Koon leads Wolffe and Wolfpack Troopers through the left side of the forest, Mace Windu, Stak and Razor run through another part, while Adi Gallia defends the Turbo Tanks. Battle Droids spot Plo and his men, one Battle Droids calls out, “Fire!” and they rain fire on Plo and the Wolfpack, killing two Wolfpack Troopers. Wolffe, Plo and the remaining Wolfpack Troopers take cover behind trees. Wolffe mutters to Plo “General. There’s no other way around! We’re going to have to rush those clankers!” and Plo replies “Agreed, Commander Wolffe. Let’s go!” and Plo jumps behind the Battle Droids concealed cover, and slices a few of them up. Wolffe yells, “You heard him lads. Let’s go!” and he and the Wolfpack Troopers run forward, firing as they move, eliminating the Battle Droids.

Adi Gallia manages to repel all the Commando Droids attacking the Turbo Tanks, and once she slices down the last one, she yells to the Tank Gunners, “They’re all wiped out! Target those Proton Cannons!” and the Clone Tank Gunners use the Turbo Tanks to wipe out the Proton Cannons, smashing them into oblivion. Not far away, Mace Windu runs forward with Stak and Razor. Mace tells them what he wants them to do, before they continue on their way. Mace walks through the forest and confronts Grievous, who stands looming over the prone body of Ahsoka Tano. Mace says “Hand her over!” to Grievous who replies “Not a chance!” and he ignites his four lightsabers. Mace ignites his own and starts to duel Grievous, until Grievous grabs Mace by the knee, and holds him upside down. The blood rushes to Mace Windu’s head. In the forest, Razor and Stak are watching this, Razor nudges Stak and says “The distraction is working, let’s move!” and Razor and Stak get to their feet and run to the body of Ahsoka, and untie her. Grievous notices this, and with a roar of fury, drops Mace and makes for Razor, Stak and Ahsoka. Mace recovers in time though to force push Grievous into the wall. While Grievous is wounded, Mace, Stak, Razor and Ahsoka run for it, through the forest, where they meet back up with Adi Gallia, Plo, Wolffe and the remaining Clones, leaving on the gunship’s that just arrived, as the story ends!
