*Geonosian language translated to basic*
Narration: "Third conflict! The planet of Geonosis is about to be invaded for the third time in the history of the Clone Wars! Can Jedi Masters Anakin Skywalker and Saesee Tiin, finally secure the planet once and for all?"
Geonosian Warriors march out across the terrain of Geonosis, watched by Poggle the Lesser and Gizor Delso. Battle Droids join them, with AAT's move into position, ready for a battle. Delso says to Poggle *The Republic will throw everything they can at us.* Poggle replies *But what they have, may not be enough.* Up in space above Geonosis, several Venator-class cruisers head for the surface. On board one of them, Anakin Skywalker approaches Saesee Tiin and says "Me and Rex are ready to begin battle, General Tiin" and Tiin replies "Excellent. It's time to begin the beginning of the end." Anakin boards his Jedi starfighter, while Saesee Tiin is joined by Commander Runner and the newbie Clone, Ark, on his gunship. Runner asks Ark "Sure you can handle that thing?" indicating the Z-6 rotary cannon. "I can handle it" replies Ark. Anakin zooms ahead of the gunship's as they head for the surface. Geonosian starfighters ambush them, and Anakin uses all his flying skills to defend the gunship's. However, several Geonosian starfighters get past him and blow up a gunship, killing all those inside. Although, Saesee Tiin's gunship lands, and he, Runner, Ark and 21st legion clones step onto the terrain. Captain Rex arrives and says "All platoons have reported in, General!" to Saesee Tiin. "Very well, Captain Rex. Let's begin this battle while Anakin has some fun." Rex says "Yes, sir!", before leading the 21st into a attack formation. Anakin meanwhile weaves and swerves to avoid being hit from behind, before the ARC-170's deploy and rescue Anakin by taking out the Geonosian starfighters. TZ-04 indicates for the Battle Droids to ambush Anakin's starfighter. Several Battle Droids fire rocket launcher's at him, and his starfighter is hit, and sent crashing to the surface. Anakin leaps out, and starts slicing up the Battle Droids that attempt to rush him. Anakin is then attacked by AAT shells. Anakin dodges, and jumps at a Geonosian sonic cannon. Anakin chops up the Geonosian on it, before manning the cannon himself. Anakin uses it to target the oncoming AAT's, and he manages to destroy one of them. As the other AAT prepares to take him out, it explodes, and Rex, Runner and Ark reveal themselves, having just blown it up. Anakin links up with the three clones, but before they can say anything, Geonosian Warriors target them with sonic blasters, and open fire. Anakin, Rex and Runner dive for cover, but Ark shoots at the Geonosians with his Z-6 rotary cannon. "Take this!" cries Ark, as he mows down several more. "Now is not the time to be a hero, Ark. Get yourself in cover!" shouts Runner, and Ark obliges.
Elsewhere, Saesee Tiin and the 21st lead a frontal assault against the Battle Droids. The 21st bring up their heavy weapons, including rotary cannons and rocket launchers. The Battle Droids shoot at them, but skill and firepower is too much for the droids, and they are destroyed. "Now we must take out those cannons!" says Saesee Tiin to the clones, and they charge at the proton cannons. Saesee Tiin slices the legs off one, before several clones blow it up with a rocket launcher. More clones blow up two more beside that one, sending the debris flying. Saesee Tiin sneaks around the back of a ridge, where several proton cannons are using frontal cover to their advantage. Saesee Tiin ignites his lightsaber, to the surprise of the Battle Droids around. "Where did you come from?" one asks, before being sliced up. Saesee Tiin slices up all the droids, one at a time, before setting explosives on the cannons. Once the cannons are exploded, Tiin makes to leave, but TZ-04 had arrived and attempts to sneakily shoot Tiin in the back. Tiin senses this, and blocks the blaster bolt. TZ-04 continues shooting at Tiin, who keeps parrying the bolts, while gradually making his way forward. Once close enough, Tiin slices off TZ-04's arm with the blaster in it off, before slicing off the droid's head, which rolls harmlessly away.
Later on, Anakin, Rex, Runner and Aek regroup with Saesee Tiin. "We won this offensive" Anakin tells Tiin. "Indeed, but not the battle as a whole" replies Tiin. The Republic forces are left to ponder what the left of this invasion has left in store for them...
