Narration: "Anger! Having suffered the loss of seeing his whole Domino squad die in the war already. Fives is left in turmoil between doing what is right and wrong! Now, we find Fives being dispatched to a Republic cruiser, to meet up with Jedi Anakin Skywalker!"
A Separatist frigate flies through hyperspace, with General Grievous intent on reaching his goal. A Battle Droid Commander approaches Grievous on the bridge, telling Grievous "Our ship has almost reached the Republic cruiser!" and Grievous replies "Excellent! I look forward to giving General Skywalker a surprise!". Grievous then walks out of the bridge, and positions himself inside the hangar beside several droch-class boarding ships...
Anakin and Ahsoka sit meditating together in a meditation room aboard their venator-class star destroyer. The doors of room open. Anakin and Ahsoka open their eyes, and turn around to find Clone Captain Rex standing at the door. "Fives is here, General Skywalker. He's in the hangar, waiting to see you" Rex said to Anakin. Ahsoka heads for the bridge, while Rex and Anakin head to the hangar.
Anakin and Rex find Fives standing with Kano and Boomer against a cargo box. Rex asks, "How are you, Fives?" and Fives replies "I've been better". Anakin notes the coldness of the way Fives replied, and realizes Fives is still feeling agrieved about the loss of Echo on the mission to the Citadel. Anakin begins to ask "You're not still feeling down about the loss of Echo, are you?" but doesn't get to finish, as the cruiser is suddenly bombarded, Kano, Rex and Boomer fall to the ground, while Anakin and Fives use the cargo box to stay standing. Yularen yells, "We're under attack! All Clones to the hangar in preparation for a Separatist assault!". Droch-class boarding ships smash into the hangar of the cruiser, and Super Battle Droids pour out from the boarding ships. Outnumbering Anakin, Rex, Fives, Kano and Boomer by hundreds to five. Grievous then jumps out of the boarding ships, to which Rex says, "AH! And just when I thought this mission couldn't get any nastier!". Anakin then gives an order "Kano and Boomer. Fall back and help Ahsoka defend the bridge, and get the 501st Clones down here!". Kano and Boomer immediately run out of the hangar, just as Clone Trooper Rowdy and the 501st Clones come the other way. Rowdy and the 501st Clones join Rex and Fives in shooting their blasters at the Super Battle Droids, knocking some down. Anakin force pushes Grievous and the Super Battle Droids back, before calling out "We have to go!" and running out of the hangar. Rex, Fives and several survining 501st Clones join him. Rowdy hits the switch to bolt the hangar doors, delaying Grievous momentarily...
Anakin, Rex, Fives and Rowdy find Ahsoka in the hallway. Ahsoka calls out "They've broken into a hallway ahead!" just as an explosion appears in the door, and several Super Battle Droids emerge. Anakin and Ahsoka ignite their lightsabers, and attack the Droids. Rowdy and Fives topple one, while Rex shoots it, Ahsoka slices one that was about to jump a 501st Clone, while Anakin dispatches the last three. Anakin contacts Yularen "We have to get to the escape pods! Grievous has broken through!" and Yularen replies "Yes, General!". Yularen picks up a DC-17 blaster pistol, before following Kano and Boomer out of the bridge. Grievous finally breaks through the hangar doors, before saying frustratingly, "I want those Jedi dead!".
Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex, Fives and Rowdy make it to the escape pods. Anakin tells Ahsoka "Cover me while I get these pods fully functional!". Ahsoka ignites both her lightsabers, just as Grievous and several Super Battle Droids come around the corner. Grievous says to Ahsoka, "You, again?!" and Ahsoka replies "Me!". Grievous laughs before attacking Ahsoka, and they duel two lightsabers to two lightsabers, while the Super Battle Droids are met by the full force of the Clones. However, Grievous has greatly underestimated Ahsoka, who's battle skills have improved immensely since their last encounter, and Ahsoka manages to slice up Grievous's lightsabers. Angered by this, Grievous resorts to playing dirty, and having grabbed Ahsoka in the face with his foot, tosses her unconcious body into one of the escape pods. Anakin cries out "Snips!" as Grievous turns his attention on Rex, Fives and Rowdy, who have dispatched all but one of the Super Battle Droids. Grievous is distracted however, when Yularen, Kano and Boomer come around the corner, and deal with the final Super Battle Droid. Just as Grievous prepares to assault Anakin, the Battle Droid Commander happily says "General Grievous should have finished with them by now!" and he uses the Separatist frigate's cannons to blow up the Republic cruiser. Sent sprawling by the weight of the attack, Anakin and Yularen are sent flying into the pod Ahsoka lays motionless in, while the Clones are flung into the other pod. Both pods are automatically activated by the ship, sending both flying away from the burning vessel that was the cruiser. The pod containg the Clones however spins out of control, and is last seen pinning spectacularly towards a nearby planet. Grievous is sent flying into space out of the ship. He manages to regain his balance though, and uses his line in the gauntlet to attach to the Separatist frigate. Several minutes later, Grievous re-appears on the bridge. The Battle Droid Commander asks Grievous "Did I do good?" and Grievous replies "You lost us the battle. IDIOT!" before slamming his lightsaber through the back of the chair, stabbing the Battle Droid Commander, who falls destroyed to the floor, leaving Grievous to ponder where the escape pods could have ended up...
