My Clone Wars Stories Episode 75: Failed

Characters: Boss, Sev, Fixer, Scorch, Adi Gallia, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, 501st Clones, Clone Captain Rex, Super Battle Droids, Count Dooku.

Narration: "Rescue! Jedi Master Adi Gallia, has been rescued by the famed Delta Squad. Now, with reinforcements on their way, Delta Squad look to get Gallia safely back to Coruscant!"

A Republic gunship flies through the atmosphere towards the planet's surface, Captain Rex says to Anakin "Almost at the landing zone, General!" and Anakin says "This is where the fun begins..." and Obi-Wan replies "What kind of fun?" and Anakin replies "The kind that's called, 'fun'". Obi-Wan Kenobi sighs in exasperation, as the gunship lands. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Rex march a squad of 501st clones outside the gunship. Anakin prepares to make a speech, but is caught off by several loud booms behind him. Anakin and Obi-Wan quickly take a Republic Swamp Speeder, and head for the source of the noise.

"This is where the going gets fiery!" yells Sev as they fly through Barc speeders, trying to escape a squad of Commando Droids. "What ever gave you that idea? The fact that there is fire burning behind our backs?! retorts Fixer, as they struggle to keep up with Boss and Scorch on their respective Barc speeders. A loud and long boom issues in front of Sev, and he, along with the rest of Delta Squad, watch in horror as Adi Gallia is sent flying towards the fires from the back of Boss's speeder. With no other option, Delta Squad continue to head for the gunship. Meanwgile, Adi Gallia looks up to find Count Dooku looming above her. Gallia chokes "You pulled me back?". "Yes" says Dooku, before igniting his lightaber. Gallia does the same, but she has no strength left, and once on her knees, Dooku disarms her before impaling her through the back with his lightsaber. Once Adi Gallia is dead, Dooku leaves to confront Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"We're almost done here!" says Obi-Wan to Anakin, as he slices up yet another Super Battle Droid. Anakin says nothing, preferring to swivel and slice up two more instead of talking. Once all the droids are done, Rex joins them, removes his helmet, and says "That's the last of the clankers!". Anakin nods, but as Rex heads into the gunship with the other clones, Anakin starts to have a bad feeling. So does Obi-Wan, and they both ignite their lightsabers. Count Dooku walks right in front of them, and ignites his lightsaber. Obi-Wan and Anakin rush Dooku, and duel him. As they duel, Delta Squad arrive and board the gunship. "Where is Master Gallia?" Rex asks Boss, "Dead" is the response Rex gets. As Anakin and Obi-Wan duel, Anakin says "You won't defeat me this time, Count!" and Obi-Wan adds "Nor me!" before they both force-push aside. Obi-Wan and Anakin both force-jump backwards into the gunship, before heading back for Coruscant, but having failed their mission...
