My Clone Wars Stories Episode 90: Trandoshan Combat

Characters: "Chewbacca, Tarfful, Mermeru, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, Golar, Geekror, Larar, Wookie Warriors, Clone Trooper Hardcase, Mysterious Witch Elgoth.

Narration: "Execution! Trandoshan's went back on their word, and executed the Wookie Chieftan! Unaware of this turn of events, the Wookie's and Jedi prepare to complete their mission, but after critical injury to Ahsoka Tano, they will need the help of a certain someone Anakin is keeping secret!"

A Republic gunship arrives bringing the reinforcement for the team. As Anakin Skywalker moves to greet the occupant, the doors open and Clone Trooper Hardcase is revealed. Anakin says "Good to see you, Hardcase. Are you ready for this battle?" and Hardcase confidently replies "Just let me at these flesh-attacking beasts!" Not far away, Ahsoka Tano is left in the care of Mermeru, C-3PO, R2-D2 and a couple of Wookie Warriors. Ahsoka is in so much pain, she keeps mutterring to herself, unable to be rid of the pain, and left to wonder what Lux Bonteri would think had he been able to see her in this position. Far off, the Trandoshan called Larar loads his shotgun, but he hears this isn't the only weapon that was loaded, as he finds Hardcase, Chewbacca and Tarfful surrounding him. Larar hurriedly tries to shoot Hardcase, but misses by some distance, Chewbacca punches Larar in the gut, before shooting Larar. Tarfful tosses the dead body aside into a ditch nearby. Mermeru tells R2-D2 and C-3PO they can leave, as he and the other two Wookie;s can handle it there. R2-D2 zooms off happily, hoping to go on another adventure. C-3PO follows R2-D2 into a labratory, to which C-3PO exclaims "This is the labratory destroyed in the battle here several months ago." As they continue moving, they end up in the centre of the labratory, where  an old witch is sitting. C-3PO says "Pardon me-" but she interrupts and says "My name is Elgoth. What have you come to ask me?" C-3PO says "Well, first, how come Hardcase survived being killed with a blade to the head?" Elgoth says "That was not Hardcase. It was a Clone that looked like him, surely you know that all Clones look the same?" and C-3PO says "Perhaps. I did wonder how come Hardcase was so serious. And Lux Bonteri, he is dead, right?" and Elgoth says "No. He is alive, and out there." "How?" C-3PO asks and the reply "You will find out someday!" before vanishing. C-3PO and R2-D2 leave the labratory, wondering what that was all about...

Golar and Geekror attack and ambush Mermeru and the two Wookie's outside Ahsoka's cabin. The two Wookie's are immediately shot dead, and Mermeru takes bolts to the hand and shoulder. As Golar prepares to enter the cabin, Geekror says "Prepare to die!" as he stands over Mermeru. Before they can do their parts though, Hardcase arrives on the scene, and fires his Z-6 rotary cannon wildly at them. As Golar and Geekror dive for cover, Hardcase yells "You want more? I'll give you more!" before unloading more rounds at them. Golar shoots randomly, and catches Hardcase full in the chest, sending Hardcase flying backwards. Without any time to check whether Hardcase is dead or not, Golar enters the cabin and looms over Ahsoka. "Good riddance, Jedi!" he says, as he points his pistol at Ahsoka. But Anakin storms in, smashing his way through the window, and takes the bolts to save Ahsoka. Anakin then gets back up, ignoring the pain, he disarms Golar, before slicing his arms off, and stabbing Golar. Outside, Chewbacca, Tarfful and the rest of the Wookie's kill Geekror.

The Trandoshan's are dead, but the mission has failed. Chewbacca had later found the dead body of the Wookie Chieftan, so the mission was deemed a failure. The mortally wounded Ahsoka and severely wounded Hardcase were placed inside bacta tanks in the T-6 shuttle. Anakin says to Chewbacca and Tarfful "The Wookie army is lucky to have the two of you in their army. You provide great belief for your people." Both Chewbacca and Tarfful nod their thanks, as Anakin, C-3PO and R2-D2 board the shuttle, and leave the planet...

  1. R u going update the Lux Bonteri arc? And if Lux is still alive, will Ahsoka go out there and try 2 find him? Better question, will R2 and 3PO tell Ahsoka that Lux is still alive?

  2. Yes. Lux Bonteri will get a new arc in the future, rather than updating the other one. Ahsoka will become aware of Lux being alive, but it won't be C-3PO and R2-D2 who tell her.
