My Clone Wars Stories Episode 62: Hunting the Hunter

Characters: Cad Bane, Todo 360, Rahm Kota, Assasin Droids, Robonino, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Clone Captain Rex, 501st Clones, Yoda.

Narration: "Jedi attacked! Cad Bane attacked and captured Jedi Master Rahm Kota! Now, Cad Bane tortures Kota, intent on getting the Jedi to come and rescue Kota!"

Rahm Kota writhes around in pain and agony, strapped to an electric seat which electrocutes him whenever Cad Bane feels like pressing a button. Kota says angrily to Cad Bane, who is standing a few yards from him "You will never break me, mercenary!" and Bane replies "You should consider yourself lucky that I'm not trying to. Now shut up!". Kota does as he is told, and Bane contacts Coruscant, before connecting with the Jedi Temple. A hologram of Cad Bane appears on the hologram table in the Control Room. Ahsoka Tano notices this and says "Cad Bane?". At the mention of the name, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker turn around to face Bane. Bane says to Ahsoka "Ah, padawan. I've been wondering how you have been getting along!". Before Ahsoka can reply, Anakin steps in and says "Forget the pleasantries! What is it you have to tell us?" and Bane replies "Oh, just the small matter that Master Rahm Kota is in my possesion!". Yoda says to Bane "Take great pleasure, in the taking of Jedi, you do". Bane says "Naturally", before the hologram vanishes, but not before he lets them briefly seeing Kota tortured by the electric seat. Ahsoka says "We must save Master Kota!" and Yoda replies "Yes, in the clutches of Cad Bane, no telling, what will happen" and Anakin says "Let's go!". Anakin and Ahsoka run out of the room, leaving Yoda to ponder what Bane could do to Rahm Kota.

A couple of Republic gunship's land on the planet of Daminia. The Republic forces brought to rescue Rahm Kota, begin to leave the ships once landed, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano and Clone Captain Rex assemble the 501st clones into position. Once assembled, Anakin calls out "This is a very dangerous Desert planet. There are plenty of places to fall down, and the sandstorms can prove quite lethal, and watch for the cliffs!". Ahsoka says "This planet holds a Temple that contains lightsaber crystals, doesn't it? What's the betting Bane will try to attack it?" and Anakin replies "Good thinking, Snips!" before adding "Alright, you need to go check it out to see if Bane will indeed attack it! Keep a clear mind, don't let your fustration at Bane get in the way of this mission!". Ahsoka nods, before zooming into the desert on a Barc speeder. Rex approaches Anakin and says "All due respect, General. If we get into a skirmish with that Bounty Hunter, I want to get grip-to-grip with him, one-on-one!". Anakin nods his agreement, and Rex pulls his helmet back on. Anakin and Rex march forward across the terrain, followed by the 501st clones. Cad Bane, meanwhile, finishes setting the explosives inside the crystal Temple, before lreaving the temple to ambush the Republic...

Todo 360 yells "Get them!" as Anakin, Rex and the clones come into sight. Robonino pulls out his specialized stun blaster and takes out two clones immediately. The desert exapands and swallows up the two clones as they fall. Rex shoots at Robonino, who ducks out of the way, just as the Assasin Droids break cover and attack. Anakin yells "It's an ambush!" as two Assasin Droids jump at him. Anakin loses his lightsaber and the desert attempts to swallow it up, Anakin jumps after it, aware of the danger. The two Assasin Droids follow, just as they almost land on Anakin, he force-pulls his lightsaber to him, jumps over the Assasin Droids, and slices them both in half, sending their seperated halves down into the hole. Anakin then jumps back to where Rex and the clones are. Todo 360 attemps to fly into Anakin, but Rex shoots him out of the sky and into the expanded desert, swallowing the little droid up, destroying it. Robonino calls out "Retreat! Retreat now!". Robonino and the Assasin Droids run away, splitting up as they go. Half following Robonino, and the other half of the Assasin Droids going the other way...

Cad Bane watches Anakin, Rex and the clones continue forward, as he prepares for his ambush...
