Narration: "Unidentified side! Having met up with the King Zuxo of Falleen, Clone Captain Rex and his men were given a shuttle to leave the system. However, unknown to them. Prince Xizor has been conspiring with the Separatists, and has plans for the Clones!"
Out of the rubble of the shuttle that just crashed on Falleen, step Captain Rex, ARC Trooper Fives, Clone Troopers Rowdy, Kano, plus ARF Sergeant Boomer. The Clones start to mop the dirt on their armour from the rubble, before remembering it's part of their tradition not to look like "Shiny's". Fives turns to Rex "So, what's the plan?" and Rex replies "We head back to that palace, and find out what is going on!" before slipping his helmet back on. As they prepare to move out, Rowdy calls out "Arn't we forgetting someone?" and Kano nods, saying "Where's Klanker?". Rex and Fives shift over a piece of rubble, and find Klanker's body there. It was obvious to the Clones he hadn't died in the explosion, he most likely died when the rubble crushed him. Rex says "Nothing we can do for him" and they continue to head back to the palace.
Having reached the palace, Zuxo greets them at the main gate. Rex isn't one to get sidetracked and immediately asks "Can we use your holotransmission room?" and Zuxo replies "Yes, of course, this way". Having led them to the holotransmission room, Zuxo leaves the Clones to their business, and Rex immediately calls Anakin Skywalker. Anakin says "Rex! It's good to see you're still alive!" and Rex replies "Thanks, General Skywalker. But we're trapped on the Falleen system, and need a rescue". Ahsoka then appears on the transmission "Hey Rex, it's nice to see you're still alive. I was worried about you". But before Rex can reply, the holotransmission is cut off, Fives murmurs "As worried as a Jedi can ever be about a Clone anyway", before striding out of the room, followed by Rex, Rowdy, Kano and Boomer. Out of the darkness steps Prince Xizor, who overheard everything, and was the one who cut the transmission. Xizor heads off to tell Darth Sidious what he heard...
A Republic gunship zooms into the atmosphere of the Falleen system, and as the gunship moves, Aayla Secura asks Anakin "How many Clones exactly are down there?" and Anakin replies "Apparently, all the 501st Clones that survived the attack on the cruiser!" and Ahsoka adds "Provided they haven't been killed while on the planet". Meanwhile, Commander Bly says to the three 327th Clone Troopers also on the mission "It's time to load them up, boys!" and they ready their weapons. However, what they didn't expect was for several Falleen gunship's to attack them as they fly, Anakin yells "Hold on!" as the Republic gunship takes a batterring and crash lands just a click from the palace. As Aayla recovers from the impact she took, she says to Anakin "Not up to your usual crash landing then, Skywalker?" and Anakin replies "Absolutely". Once they are recovered, they head to the palace...
King Zuxo sits calmly on his throne when two of the Clone Troopers angrily burst into the room. Zuxo looks shocked at the way these Clones move angrily. One of them, Captain Rex states "Why did you plant an explosive on board the shuttle you gave us?!". However, before Zuxo can reply, ARC Trooper Fives says "And how can you explain leaving us for dead???". Before Zuxo can say more than "Clones, please, I have no idea what you are talking about!", the doors burst open again, Anakin, Ahsoka, Aayla and Bly step in. Anakin yells at Zuxo "And how can you explain, the attack on our gunship, in which you tried to kill us! TELL US!" Anakin shouts at Zuxo. Zuxo stammers, "I suggest a comprimise, I will give you another shuttle!". Anakin and Ahsoka storm from the throne room, quickly followed by Aayla, Rex, Bly and Fives...
Rowdy, Kano and Boomer are already gearing the shuttle up by the time Anakin, Ahsoka, Aayla, Bly, Fives and Rex arrive. Rowdy calls "The ship's all ready, General Skywalker" and Anakin replies "Good, Rowdy. Now let's get out of here!". Zuxo watches the shuttle leave the planet, with remorse in his eyes. Before Zuxo can realise what is going on, he is lying sprawling on the ground, wondering how he got there. Woth the click of a blaster in his ear, he understands what is going on. Especially once he turns around and sees Xizor pointing a pistol right beside his head. Zuxo asks "You've been conspiring against me?" and Xizor replies "Yes". Zuxo asks "I suppose it was you all along, you blew up the shuttle, and attacked the Republic gunship!" and Xizor replies "Yes, you're right! I suppose it's a last consilation for you, taking the truth to where you will go!". Xizor pulls the trigger, and Zuxo drops down dead. Xizor calmly strides away from the dead body of his former King...
