Narration: "On the brink of failure! Separatist leader San Hill, has twice seen his droid forces repelled by Republic and Wookie forces. With his last chance, can San Hill take Kashyyyk?"

"Get out there and win!" bellows San Hill, as his droids march upon the Wookie village. Chewbacca and Tarfful lead the Wookie's, while Wolffe leads Wolfpack clones alongside them. "Charge!" yells Wolffe, and the clones rush the enemy. Both sides suffer losses, with no side managing to gain any ground. The Battle Droids try to find a way past, but when they do, Yoda appears to slice off their legs, or Thire, Jek and Rys get them with heavy weapons. "Fun, this is, yes?" Yoda asks Thire, who replies "If you say so, sir." One Wolfpack Clone spots San Hill at his observation post, and uses his jetpack to try and reach San Hill. But, before the Clone can make it, Super Battle Droids shoot him down from below, killing him. Anakin Skywalker and several Kashyyyk troopers use a ridge to flank squads of Battle Droids, before attacking them. Anakin slices up several Battle Droids, while the troopers blast them. Battle Droids shoot several of the troopers, but they are defeated by Anakin and his men. They move onto the next ridge. Below are a squad of Battle Droids guarding Wookie prisoners, including Mermeru. Anakin signals, and the troopers divide and flank both sides of the ridge. On Anakin's command, they open fire on the Battle Droids. As droids fall, the commander prepares to execute Mermeru, but Anakin intervenes and slices the command up, before freeing Mermeru and the Wookie Warriors. Mermeru and the Wookie's retrieve their weapons, just as several spider droids attack. Anakin and Mermeru deal with the spider droids...

"Have some of this, clanker!" yells Sinker, as he blasts down several Battle Droids. Nearby, Ahsoka Tano stands in the water, and deflects blaster bolts or tank shells heading towards the city. Wolffe and Wolfpack clones use jetpacks to fly onto an AAT, and blow it up. Plo Koon joins Wolffe, and they attack droid carriers bringing up droid reinforcements. On Plo's signal, Wolffe, Sinker and the Wolfpack open fire on the carriers. As Battle Droids and Super Battle Droids return fire, Plo sneaks around and slices the droid carriers up. Wolffe and Sinker blow up the last one with thermal detonators. Sinker turns around to find several AAT's locking onto Ahsoka, who is unaware of this, as she continues to slice up Super Battle Droids. As one AAT prepares to fire, Sinker runs and pushes Ahsoka out of the way, taking the hit himself, and Sinker dies in the explosion. "NO!" shouts Wolffe, and Ahsoka cries "Sinker!" but Sinker is blown apart, and his body is gone. Ahsoka grits her teeth and decides enough is enough, and goes to confront San Hill herself...

Ahsoka ends up in San Hill's observation post, and ignites her lightsabers. "A Padawan? Is that the best the Jedi can do?" and Ahsoka retorts "Says the one who hides behind droids all day!" A couple of Magnaguards assault Ahsoka, but she destroys them easily, and forces San Hill to surrender. Having brought San Hill before Anakin, Yoda and Plo, Ahsoka joins Wolffe in mourning the loss of good men. When he stops at Boost and Sinker, Wolffe says "No matter what anyone says, clones aren't expendable, and these two are great proof of that. They can't be replaced." Ahsoka and Wolffe re-join the Republic forces, who board the cruisers. Yoda stops and says to Chewbacca and Tarfful "Remember. If ever in need, you know where to contact me." Chewbacca and Tarfful smile at Yoda, as Yoda boards the cruiser with the others, and they leave Kashyyyk...
