My Clone Wars Stories Episode 123: Padawan Turn

Characters: Lolo Purs, Hondo Ohnaka, Obi-Wan Kenobi, 212th Clones, Commander Cody, Clone Trooper Bolt, Clone Trooper Wire.

Narration: "Ship to ship! Republic forces led by Obi-Wan Kenobi wage a fight against the pirate Hondo Ohnaka, who is attempting to steal Rodian supplies! Having executed Silood, the chief supplier, Hondo fled, but not very far..."

Ahsoka Tano notices a damaged pod flying fast through space towards her. Ahsoka dives aside as the pod smashes into the supply ship. Out of the pod stumbles Hondo Ohnaka. Ahsoka ignites both her lightsabers to confront Hondo, who says "My, my. I believe we have met?" and Ahsoka retorts "I remember you. You tried to hurt innocent people. Now, you will feel the hurt!" and Ahsoka launches herself at Hondo. Hondo draws out a sword and fights back, with a flailing swipe, Hondo sends Ahsoka's shoto spinning away, before kicking Ahsoka painfully in the stomach. Hondo retrieves the shoto, and having ignited it, he says to Ahsoka "Now I can fight like a Jedi!" but Ahsoka retorts "Wrong, you can't do this" and with that, Ahsoka force-pushes Hondo into the wall, and force-pulls her shoto back. Elsewhere, 212th clones join Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cody, Bolt and Wire in mopping up the pirates on that ship. Cody says "Bolt, Wire, come with me." Cody, Bolt and Wire use jetpacks to fly to the next supply ship, and they eliminate the wounded pirates inside that ship. As they search the supply ship, an explosion comes from another supply ship, and it is wrenched apart. Cody cries out "That's the ship Senator Purs is on!" and Wire says "Poor senator, no one could have survived that." As Cody and Wire leave, Bolt noticed Lolo Pur's body falling down through space, never to be seen again...

Ahsoka slices Hondo's sword in half, rendering it useless. Hondo pulls out a pistol, but Ahsoka makes short work of it too. "I don't have time for this!" Hondo yells, before legging it towards the escape pods, Ahsoka chases Hondo and force-pushes him, but only manages to succeed in force-pushing Hondo into a escape pod. "Thanks!" Hondo shouts triumphantly, as he escapes in the escape pod, and leaves the fight. Ahsoka jumps into space and re-joins Obi-Wan and the clones aboard a supply ship. Having told Obi-Wan what happened, Obi-Wan says "You did everything you could Ahsoka, Hondo is just very slippery..."

Next-time: A major battle! A Ithorian Jedi in the Clone Wars? Hondo Ohnaka returns again? Check it all out, next time on the "Battle of Florrum" arc!

Trivia: This arc is based on something mentioned by Onaconda Farr in the episode "Bombad Jedi", where he mentions pirates attacked the Rodian supplies, which was why his people were starving. This developed into the story that is this arc, just much later in the war, and with Onaconda Farr dead...
