Narration: "Republic assistance! Having seen Separatist forces led by Cad Bane occupy most of Shili, Republic forces led an invasion to free Shili from Bane's grasp. Having secured the landing zone, can they now liberate the remaining zones?"

Cad Bane places defences on the bridge leading into the secondary position. Bane is rapidly losing faith in the plot, and it shows. Bane contacts Sidious and says "I have set up defensive positions on the bridge, but I am not sure it will hold." Sidious replies "It must hold. We cannot afford to let this possibility of slaves slip away." As Bane walks way into the city, the Republic is watching his every move. Anakin asks Ahsoka "You remember this city, Snips?" and Ahsoka replies "Yes, Master. Three entry points. Through the bridge they just set up defensive positions on, the far route, and underwater." "Underwater. How would that work?" Obi-Wan asks. Ahsoka replies "If you swim underneath, it will lead you to the centre of the city." Anakin says "Right, here is what we do. Master Luminara and Padawan Barriss can lead the 41st and 501st on a direct path and engage the enemy. Obi-Wan and Cody will take the far route. As for me and Ahsoka, the two of us, Rex, Rokhiti and Ahslok will take the underwater route."  Everyone nods their understanding, and all head for their respective routes...

AT-RT walkers with 41st clones on them charge the bridge, but are taken down by spider droids. Luminara says "Now it's our turn. Push up!" and her team begin their attack. Luminara and Barriss ignite their lightsabers, before charging across the bridge. Gree, Draa and the 41st assist them, while Phantom uses his z-6 rotary cannon to cause panic for the city defenders. Wolfbane Warriors charge Luminara and Barriss with their spears, but Luminara and Barriss slice up their spears, before finishing them. Gree moves his men forward, pressing the enemy further and further back into the city. Underwater, Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex, Rokhiti and Ahslok make it through the route and into the middle of the city. As they climb up th hatch, they find two Battle Droids in front of them. One asks "Where did you come from?" and Anakin replies "Somewhere" before slicing the two Battle Droids apart. As more Battle Droids arrive, Rex, Rokhiti and Ahslok open fire on the Battle Droids. Elsewhere, Obi-Wan notices a slave camp as he, Cody, Bolt and Wire walk their route. "Let's tweak Anakin's plan a bit. Let's free that camp, then assist him." Bolt and Wire distract the Super Battle Droids inside by shooting at the gate guarding the camp. While the droids are distracted, Obi-Wan and Cody climb over the wall at the back, caught unawares, Obi-Wan and Cody take out the Super Battle Droids. A Wolfbane Warrior witnesses this and tries to escape, but he is pursued by Bolt and Wire. "I've got him!" calls Bolt, but Wire yells "No! I've got him!" and gets in the way of Bolt shooting. "This is no time for an argument, Wire! If he gets away, then he will alert his allies!" While they bicker, the Wolfbane Warrior gets further and further away, until he runs straight into a blaster bolt, and crumples down, dead. Bolt and Wire stop bickering and look up at the killer, who is Cody. "Thought you both might want some help!" says Cody. Back on the bridge, Phantom is really giving it to the Battle Droids, mowing many down. Unfortunately, this doesn't go unoticed. Cad Bane gets into an elevated position, draws out a sniper rifle, and snipes Phantom in the chest, sending him crumpling to the ground in agony, without the strength to lift the z-6 rotary cannon. Draa fires a rocket launcher at the position. Bane escapes, but the damage is done. Gree checks Phantom's pulse, only to find there is none. Gree picks up the rotary cannon, and says "I'm sure Bolt would be happy to have this" before they continue fighting. Inside the city, Anakin slices up a couple of Battle Droids, but more get past him. As Wolfbane Warriors close in, Ahsoka struggles to protect Rex, Rokhiti and Ahslok. Ahslok shoots back at them, but she is stabbed and hurled aside by several Wolfbane warriors. Ahsoka manages to kill them though, before they can harm anyone else. As Battle Droids close in, an explosion erupts and destroys all of the droids. A dozen 501st clones appear. One of them says to Anakin "We heard you could use some help!" Obi-Wan then runs in, having seen the slaves he freed off, closely followed by Cody, Bolt and Wire. Before anyone can say anything though, explosions start to hapenn all around, and they run in different directions. Bolt, Wire and Rokhiti are hotly pursued by several Wolfbane Warriors. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Cody, Ahsoka, Rex and the 501st clones find themselves just outside the third position. Anakin says "Call in an air-strike!" which Cody does. Several Y-Wing bombers bomb the third position, and they go in to clear up. Several spears are tossed at Bolt, Wire and Rokhiti as they run. As Bolt and Wire run a corner, Rokhiti is hit by a spear, and collapses. Bolt and Wire can't turn back, and they manage to escape. The Wolfbane Warriors shoot Rokhiti to make sure he is dead, leaving his body there. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Cody, Rex and Ahsoka make short work of the Battle Droids inside, while the 501st clones clear the buildings, leaving no droids remaining. They are joined by Luminara, Barriss, Gree and Draa. Luminara tells them "We cleared the fourth position. Just one left to go!" Ahsoka says "Execllent. The ordeal that has swept my homework is finally almost gone!" Anakin rests his hand on Ahsoka's shoulder, and tells her "You're homeworld will soon be back to normal, Snips." Just then, Bolt and Wire arrive. Wire says "Bad news, Sirs. Cad Bane is preparing to evacuate. We must attack now!"...
