Narration: "Separatist invasion! Determined to take revenge on the helpless Lurmen people, Count Dooku orders an invasion of Maridun. With attack imminent, the Lurmen people must make a difficult choice!"
Lurmen villagers gather around the outside of the village, as Separatist landing craft looms above Maridun. Tee-Watt-Kaa and Wag-Too join the many villagers outside, and watch in despair as the landing craft lands on the surface. Tee-Watt-Kaa sighs, before saying to Wag-Too "We have no hope. Make the immediate arrangements to contact the Jedi." Wag-Too nods, before heading back into the village. Wag-Too starts up a communicator, and contacts the Jedi. At Coruscant, Aayla Secura is the only Jedi in the control room, and she answers. Wag-Too says "We need your help. Maridun is coming under an attack from the Separatists. We need the Jedi from before to come and help us again" and Aayla replies "Do not worry, Wag-Too. It will be done" and Wag-Too says "Ah, master Secura. So good to hear your voice again." Wag-Too cuts the transmission, leaving Aayla to go and find help. Aayla finds just who she is looking for, finding Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano coming down the hallway. Aayla says "There you are. The Lurmen on Maridun are under attack, and need our help." Anakin says "I'm surprised they want our help this time, given their stubbornness before." Ahsoka tells Anakin "But this time they want our help. We have to go and help Wag-Too and his people." Aayla nods her agreement, and they head for the hangar to board a ship...
Anakin joins Ahsoka on the bridge, and tells her "Tell General Xaxu to assemble the men for action" and Ahsoka replies "Appo won't like this. Given Cay Xaxu's brash methods." Meanwhile, down in the hangar, Appo and his men are hanging around, when a shout calls "All men, assemble into line. On the double! Come on, this isn't some training drill. We are about to enter a physical combat." The source of the shot appears, as Cay Xaxu gruffly appears in front of them. Xaxu points angrily at Appo, and says "You're the commander, are you not? Why aren't these men assembled? hurry it up!" as Xaxu walks on. Appo watches as the 501st clones assemble, but this calls out more of Cay Xaxu's wrath, as he snarls at the clones "These guns are filthy. Always keep your weapons nice and shiny, it can provide a good distraction on the enemy." When Xaxu is gone, Bly asks Appo "Any idea how it provides a distraction, Appo?" and Appo replies "No, Bly, I do not." Anakin, Ahsoka and Aayla walk through the hangar doors, and Aayla calls out "Assemble into your squads. This is it." Appo and the 501st join Anakin and Ahsoka in one gunship, while Aayla, Bly and more 501st get into another gunship. Nuvo Vindi watches from far off as the two Republic gunship's land on Maridun. Vindi calls out to his droids "All units. Move out!" and Vindi watches as his Droid forces head for the village. As Anakin, Ahsoka and Aayla head for the village to meet up with the Lurmen, explosions hit around them, and one of the gunship's is blown sky-high. Anakin contacts Cay Xaxu and says "General Xaxu, you and the clones have got to defend this position, as we need to get into the village" and Xaxu replies "Copy that, Skywalker. I will see that the clones do their job to the letter." Xaxu turns to the clones, all of whom staring at him. "What are you waiting for?! You heard Skywalker, open fire!" and Xaxu watches as Appo and Bly lead a 501st charge. Cay Xaxu ignites his lightsabers and joins the fray. Cay Xaxu watches out of the corner of his eye as Lurmen villagers head for the Droid lines, intent on using their previous method to stop the enemy. Xaxu calls "Stop. We can handle this!" and he slices up a super battle droid. The Lurmen stare at him in shock, forcing Bly to snap at Xaxu "With respect, sir. The Lurmen know what they are doing, they have used this tactic successfully before." Xaxu looks Bly dead-on, creeping Bly out a little, and Xaxu snarls "If I want your opinion, I will ask it, CC-5052." The Lurmen continue watching as Cay Xaxu recklessly leads his men into battle, causing the 501st casualties. As Anakin, Ahsoka and Aayla arrive in the village, Tee-Watt-Kaa tells them "Your new general does not wish our support. He has ordered our villagers to back off." Anakin tells Tee-Watt-Kaa "Cay Xaxu doesn't trust other species, tell the Lurmen to ignore him." Tee-Watt-Kaa does this, and to Xaxu's shock and horror, he sees the Lurmen villagers rolling towards the droids, tieing them up and allowing the clones to pick targets more easily. "We have 'em now!" Bly yells gleefully, as he and Appo pick off the last desperate Droid surge for now. Nuvo Vindi contacts his droids from a tower to the north of the village, and says "Retreat now, we must reserve our forces." Appo watches as the droids retreat, before looking up and sighting Nuvo Vindi on the tower. Vindi realizes his mistake too late, and having left the tower, Appo tells Bly "I spotted the enemy leader. It's Nuvo Vindi" and Bly replies "Vindi? I thought that mad one was in prison?" Appo says "I dunno, but let's go and take the tower." As Appo prepares to move, he is shoved roughly backwards and finds Cay Xaxu standing above him. Cay Xaxu says "You stupid imbeciles. You beat some droids thanks to me, and now you think you can take a well-fortified tower?" Bly has had enough of Xaxu's brash tactics, and angrily confronts Xaxu by saying "General Xaxu, in case you didn't notice, we won thanks to the Lurmen arrival. Your weak, flawed tactics almost resulted in our deaths. You had nothing to do with our success!" and Xaxu retorts "Why, you little-" before igniting his lightsaber behind Bly's neck. It looks like Xaxu might just behead Bly, but Anakin contacts Xaxu and says "Congratulations on this victory, general Xaxu- *Anakin pauses, having noticed what is going on* are you and Bly feeling okay, Xaxu?" and Xaxu replies "Fine. I guess I got a little over the top." Anakin nods as his hologram fades. Cay Xaxu walks towards the village, leaving Bly smarting with anger...
Upon arrival back in the village, Appo joins Anakin, Ahsoka and Aayla. Aayla tells them "Nuvo Vindi did indeed escape recently, using some sort of bomb. This bomb, led to the escape of every prisoner we had" and Anakin asks "It wasn't the blue shadow virus, was it?" and Aayla says "No, but on that topic, we have found out Vindi has a labratory set up here. It is possible he is making more blue shadow virus there." As Aayla leaves to talk to the Lurmen, Anakin turns to Ahsoka and Appo, telling them "Here's how it is. You both must sneak into that labratory, and stop Nuvo Vindi at all costs. After his escape, he has been given the death warrant, so fight to kill, if neccessary. Disable the labratory." Ahsoka says "It shall be done, master Skywalker" and Appo adds "Whether we come back alive or not, general." Anakin says "Hopefully it won't come to that, Appo." Anakin watches as his two most trusted colluagues in this battle, leave to complete their mission...
