Narration: "Mission has almost collapsed! ARC Troopers, trying to capture Rune Haako, are forced to call the Jedi Council for reinforcements! Can the ARC Troopers hold out long enough for reinforcements to arrive, and can they capture Rune Haako?"
A Republic gunship zooms through the atmosphere of Dalastine. As it heads for the surface, it derops and deploys the two AT-RT Walkers brought with them. Once the gunship lands, Voolvif Monn and the 442nd battalion clones disembark and regroup. Two of the clones mount the AT-RT's. Monn calls out to his clones "We must make a break and double-pace to it! The ARC Troopers might not last much longer in there!". The AT-RT's scout on ahead, while Monn and more clones follow him from behind. Inside the base, Fives, Blitz and Garand sprint desperately after the running body of Rune Haako. Fives attemps to shoot Haako, but Haako turns the corner just in time. Garand says "I thought you said we were taking him captive, Fives?" and Fives replies "By any means possible!". Fives, Blitz and Garand run into a computer room, where several Commando Droids ambush them, with Rune Haako right behind them. Garand shoots two Commando Droids in the stomach, Fives pistols one through the head, while Blitz blows up a computer storage with a thermal detonator, bringing it clanging down, and it squashes the last Commando Droid. Before Haako can move, all three clones have their guns on him. Fives, Blitz and Garand walk him towards the outside of the base...
A blaster bolt sends one clone on one of the two AT-RT's flying away, dead. Voolvif Monn quickly boards the AT-RT, Monn spots the Commando Droids on a ridge above that sniped the clone. While the 442nd clones on foot provide cover from down below, Monn and the other clone on the AT-RT swiftly attack the Commando Droids. The Commando Droids are fast, but Monn overuns them, and the Commando Droids are destroyed. As Fives, Blitz and Garand leave the base, they are surrounded by many Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids and Commando Droids. Blitz is forced to hand Rune Haako over. As Haako gives the order to execute the clones, Monn and the 442nd battalion arrive and get into a scuffle with the droids. Fives slaps the Battle Droid about to take his gun, before punching it on the ground. Blitz kicks a Commando Droid up into the air, before drawing a pistol and shooting the Commando Droid. Garand picks up two E-11 blasters and shoots anything near him. Rune Haako retreats to a safer corner.
"This way!" Voolvif Monn yells, signaling to the ARC Troopers to board the gunship. Commando Droids and 442nd battalion clones keep on fighting, as Fives, Blitz and Monn make it to the gunship. Garand, however, is shot through the back as he tries to board. Barely able to breathe, Garand slides himself against a wall, struggling to catch his breath. As droids advance on the 442nd clones, Garand tosses his last thermal detonator, providing a distraction, and allowing most of the 442nd to escape. A rocket launcher destroys the AT-RT though, killing the clone manning it. As the Republic gunship takes off, Fives and Blitz can only watch in despair as Rune Haako executes Garand, with nothing they could do to stop it. "It could easily have been either of us. Every battle, there will be a chance you die!" Blitz says to Fives, as the gunship leaves the planet...
