Narration: "Advantage! Having fled from Captain Rex, Pre Vizsla has engaged and gained the upper-hand in a duel with Anakin Skywalker! How will the Battle of Mandalore end, and who will win?

Obi-Wan Kenobi joins Mace Windu in overlooking the Death Watch movement down the street they are guarding. Mace says "There is no plan to the Death Watch attack now. They are just moving like lambs for the slaughter..." Obi-Wan gasps, and says "What if all this was just a distraction?" Obi-Wan quickly runs off, Windu only managing to yell "Kenobi!" at him before Obi-Wan is gone. Elsewhere, Pre Vizsla starts to really shine over Anakin, as Anakin struggles to hold off Vizsla. Vizsla uses his jetpack to fly into the air, preparing for the final strike, but Satine Kryze uses her deactivator to deactivate Vizsla's jetpack, sending him crashing back down. Vizsla traps Anakin against the wall, leaving Anakin on the brink of conciousness. Mace Windu and Captain Rex lead the 501st in a frontal assault on the advancing Death Watch troopers. As Death Watch begins to crumble, they are really up against it, as they had been led into a trap. Ahsoka Tano, Cody, Neyo and the 212th legion flanking them. The Death Watch fight valiantly, but are defeated by the side with a plan. The clones celebrate their victory, though they don't realize it isn't over yet...

As Vizsla goes to kill Anakin, Clone Sergeant Kano arrives to stop Vizsla, Vizsla though chops up Kano's DC-15 blaster, before stabbing Kano. Kano's last words are "I'm sorry... general!" as Vizsla tosses his lifeless body aside. Vizsla turns his attention back to Anakin, but Anakin has now recovered well enough, and he uses force-lightning on Pre Vizsla, wounding the Death Watch leader. Vizsla manages to stop it though, and kicks Anakin against the wall. Satine tries to shoot Vizsla's darksaber with the deactivator, but he simply knocks the deactivator aside, before stabbing Satine through the chest. Satine holds her hands to her chest, before falling back, dead. Anakin just notices Obi-Wan Kenobi arriving and launching himself at Vizsla before falling unconcious...

Much later, or soon after, Anakin doesn't know, but he wakes up to find Obi-Wan looming over two lifeless bodies. Anakin realizes with a pang that one is Satine, and watches as tears steadily drip onto her pale face. Anakin is taken aback when he realizes it is Obi-Wan that is crying. Anakin gets shakily to his feet, places his hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder and says "I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Master". Obi-Wan replies "Well, at least now I probably don't have to worry about leaving the Jedi Order..." Obi-Wan motions to the body beside Satine's, and Anakin notices it is Pre Vizsla's, and notes the head has been separated from the body. Anakin doesn't ask Obi-Wan about the details. Obi-Wan shudders as he remembers how he arrived just in time to see Vizsla kill Satine, and he launched himself at Vizsla in his fury. After easily gaining the advantage, Obi-Wan behead the Death Watch leader, sending his head spinning into the sky and away. Anakin and Obi-Wan walk towards the remaining Republic forces, knowing that while the battle is won, the objective was failed. Obi-Wan and Anakin walk past Royal Guards and Police Officers, who ran to check up on the bodies left behind...
