Narration: "Slaves! The Togrutan species of the planet Togruta, has been turned into slaves upon been captured by Cad Bane and his employer Darth Sidious. After hearing of this terrible news, Republic forces head for Shili, preparing to liberate the slaves from Separatist control!"

Darth Sidious contacts Cad Bane, who has just completed his mission on Shili. Bane asks "What is it?" and Sidious replies "The Republic has launched a critical mission to free Shili. These wolf-like creatures are no match on their own, you must stay on Shili, and lead the battle." Bane asks "How many extra credits will I be worth?" and Sidious replies "200.000 million credits." Bane says "I can handle that", before deactivating the hologram. Bane looks outside the tower he is in, to see his Wolfbane Warriors treating the Togrutan slaves cruely. As Bane watches, one slave is just too tired to keep slaving away, and she promptly executed. A Wolfbane Warrior and two Battle Droids enter the tower. The warrior says "Master Bane, we have located a Togrutan camp to the south-west. They may try to contact help, we should kill them immediately!" Bane replies "Very well, Let's get going!" Bane takes several Wolfbane Warriors off in a speeder to take the camp. At the camp, Rokhiti and Ahslok contact the Jedi Council. Obi-Wan Kenobi answers, and Rokhiti tells him "Master Jedi, our world of Shili has been taken over by evil people, who are up to no good" and Ahslok adds "They are using our people as slaves! Most of us have not got away from this slave plot." Obi-Wan tells them "This is troubling. A strike team will be sent immediately, but you must knock out the guard towers, otherwise we may be spotted and that would comprimise everything." Rokhiti and Ahslok nod their understanding, but as they turn the corner to leave, the Togrutan soldiers behind them are found by Bane and his warriors, and they are immediately shot down. However, Rokhiti and Ahslok are out of sight. Bane thinking his job is done, heads back to the slave camp...

Later on, Rokhiti and Ahslok find themselves near the slave camp. Rokhiti says "There are the two guard towers the Jedi told us about", pointing at both of them. Ahslok readies her sniper rifle, before taking out a Battle Droid in each tower. Super Battle Droids however hear the sniper fire, and search for the location. As the Super Battle Droids prepare to turn the corner where Rokhiti and Ahslok are waiting, several Venator-class star destroyer's enter the atmosphere, and deploy Republic gunship's, ARC-170 starfighters and Y-Wing starfighters. The ARC-170's engage Vulture Droids that zoom at them from below, while the Y-Wing's bomb the tower Cad Bane was going to enter, leaving Bane snarling in frustration. Out of the first gunship that lands comes Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cody, Bolt and Wire, who charge at several Wolfbane Warriors and engage them. The second gunship reveals Luminara Unduli, followed by Commander Gree and Clone Trooper Phantom, who uses a z-6 rotary cannon to bowl over several Super Battle Droids in the way. The third and fourth gunship's arrive last, Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano zoom out of the third, and start cutting up the neaby Battle Droids. Lastly, Anakin Skywalker leads Captain Rex and the 501st to free the slaves. Rex shoots one Wolfbane Warrior who was sleeping against a hangar wall, and says "You snooze you lose!" Clone Trooper Draa brings up a rocket launcher and blows a way into the hangar. Anakin and Rex go inside and take out the Battle Droids inside. Wolfbane Warriors sneak up and attack them, but Anakin and Rex dispose of them. Anakin and Rex then set explosives, to blow up all the enemy supplies inside. Once outside, Rex detonates the explosives, and the supplies go up in flames. "Take some of this!" yells Phantom, and blasts several Wolfbane Warriors aside. Obi-Wan joins the 501st, and helps them work to rescue the slaves. Captain Rex joins them, and starts shooting at Battle Droids preparing to execute the slaves. Ahsoka spots Cad Bane lurking above and says "I'm going after him!" to Barriss, before running off to confront Bane. Anakin follows, and they ignite their lightsabers to face Bane. "So now I have to take you both on? Shouldn't be much off a challenge" Bane tells them. Anakin swipes at Bane's right arm, but Bane evades the blow, before pulling out his pistols. As Ahsoka adds to their advantage by also activating her shoto, Bane plots inside his head how to get past them. Up above, Rokhiti says to Ahslok "They might need some help. Let's go lend some support!" Ahslok nods her agreement, and they run to join the fray. As Super Battle Droids prepare to overun Bolt and Wire, Ahslok arrives and uses her Togrutan blaster to blast the droids aside, and covers Bolt and Wire. "That was some rescue!" Bolt says to Wire, as they help Ahslok hold off the droids. Rokhiti meanwhile, joins Obi-Wan in attempting to free the slaves. Luminara and Gree lead Draa and Phantom to attack the command post. Wolfbane Warriors inside try to hold them off, but are overpowered by them. Cad Bane uses his flamethrower on Anakin and Ahsoka, who turn down the heat by blocking with their lightsabers. Bane signals, and several Super Battle Droids engage Anakin and Ahsoka as Bane disappears. As Anakin and Ahsoka finish off the droids, Bane appears behind Ahsoka, and having grabbed her by the neck, sticks an electric charge into her, electrocuting her and making her fall to the ground. Bane then punches Anakin in the face, before electrocuting him too. Bane prepares to finish them off, but finds the whole Republic invasion force surrounding him. "Uhmm... hi!" says Bane. "Surrender, Bane!" challenges Obi-Wan. Bane raises his arm's as if to surrender, but then flies away on his jetpack, making to regroup...

At night later, the Republic have rounded up the Togrutan Soldiers that survived, including Rokhiti and Ahslok, and give them something to eat. Obi-Wan briefs the others saying "Bane has probably moved onto his secondary position, here" indicating a spot on the hologram. Anakin says "Great. Just another three positions to go." Phantom says "They can have as many positions as they want. Just let me at them!". Barriss says "Nice to see a show of enthusiasm, Phantom. But lots could still go wrong with this invasion. "Let's make sure nothing does then" adds Rokhiti. The Republic forces start to move out, heading onto the next position...
