Narration: "Dathomir is under severe threat! War rages across the home of the nightsister and nightbrother clans, with a terrible war spreading across the planet. As Separatists look to eliminate Mother Talzin, we find Anakin Skywalker and the 501st attempting to finish off the nightbrothers!"


Outside the final nightbrother village, one nightbrother calls out "They are coming." Once the words are out of his mouth, Anakin Skywalker appears at the top of the hill, and he charges towards the nightbrothers. A couple of nightbrothers confront him, but Anakin slices their pikes in half, before impaling the nearer nightbrother. The other nightbrother takes several blaster bolts in the back, as the clones appear on the hill. Appo makes to shoot again, but Rex holds him back, and tells Appo "We can't do this, Appo. Skywalker is taking a route we cannot follow." Appo, Rex and the rest of the clones watch as Anakin continues to mercilessly slaughter what is left of the nightbrothers, until there is not a single nightbrother left on the surface...


Meanwhile, Cody, clone trooper Boil and the 212th sneak into the nightsister camp. Cody waits as Boil sets explosives around the nightsister camp. As they make to smash their way into Talzin's main building, several nightsisters come out to ambush them. Immediately, several 212th clones are taken out by bows and arrows. Cody yells "We can't hold 'em. Men, fall back NOW." Cody and several other 212th clones turn around and run. Cody waits as the several clones rush past him, but Cody notices Boil is missing. Cody heads back into the camp, and finds Boil on his knees, with the nightsisters dead. Cody calls "Boil?" and Boil replies "You need to leave, Cody. This is the only way." Cody asks "Boil. What are you talking about?" and Boil responds "I have to do this, sir. I need to be with Waxer, my time here is done." Boil raises his blaster and aims at one of the explosives, forcing Cody to shout "Boil, no." Boil turns and puches Cody away, and out of the nightsister camp. Boil raises his blaster again, and shoots the explosive, killing himself immediately. Inside the building, Talzin is buried dead underneath the wreckage. Cody and the 212th clones walk sadly away, intent on finding Obi-Wan Kenobi...


General Grievous punches Obi-Wan viciously in the face, forcing Obi-Wan to spit blood out of his mouth. Grievous says "Haha! You will die a painful death, one day!" and Obi-Wan retorts "One day, but not by your hand." With that, Obi-Wan re-ignites his lightsaber, and starts dueling Grievous again. Grievous kicks Obi_Wan, and flees. Obi-Wan mutters "Always running." Obi-Wan makes to move on, just as Cody and the 212th clones find him. Cody says "Are you alright, sir?" and Obi-Wan replies "Could be better. Where is Boil?" and Cody says "I'm sorry, sir. Boil is dead." Obi-Wan looks saddened by the death of another experienced clone, but Obi-Wan holds it in, and says "Let's move on. You never know what Anakin could be doing." Obi-Wan, Cody and the clones head onward. Meanwhile, remaining nightsisters look to take revenge on the clones. ARC trooper Wolffe says to Rex "Look Rex. Incoming speeders" and Rex replies "Round up the men. Get some barc's, we'll attack them head on." Wolffe, Rex and Appo, as well as several 501st clones, leap on a squad of barc speeder's. Rex and Appo take on the nightsisters from one side, while Wolffe attacks from the other side. While the clones deal with the nightsisters, Anakin Skywalker is force-choked from behind, before brutally being tossed against a hard tree, before having force-lightning used on him. A severely weakened Anakin looks up, to find Savage Opress standing above him. Savage says "Jedi" and Anakin replies "Oh, hello there." Savage ignites his double-bladed lightsaber, and says "Duel, and die." Savage immediately attacks Anakin, before the latter can ignite his lightsaber, but Anakin narrowly avoids the attack. Anakin ignites his lightsaber, and starts to duel with Savage, but Savage bashes Anakin with the hilt of his lightsaber, sending his lightsaber flying. The injured Anakin collapses against a tree, with Savage looming above him. Savage prepares to finish Anakin, but he is force-pushed aside, and Obi-Wan, Cody and the clones arrive. Obi-Wan says "You should be dead" and Anakin adds "We...will make sure you die now!" Savage attacks Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan uses the force to bring Anakin's lightsaber to him, and Obi-Wan begins attacking Savage with two lightsabers. Obi-Wan slices Savage's lightsaber in half, destroying Savage's blade. Savage turns and flees, jumping down hills to avoid Obi-Wan using the force on him...


Meanwhile, Rex, Wolffe and Appo have finished off the nightsisters. Obi-Wan says to Cody "Cody, reckon you can snipe that Sith scum?" and Cody says "I'll give it my best shot." Cody tries to get a sight on Savage, but turns to Obi-Wan and says "It's no good, sir. He's too fast, and I can't get a good sight or shot at him." Suddenly, out of nothing, a single shot rings out and with a perfect head-shot, Savage is sent flying, well dead. Obi-Wan looks at Cody, who shrugs. Obi-Wan looks across, to see Wolffe holding a sniper rifle, which is smoking from the blaster bolt that killed Savage Opress. Wolffe says "You did request him dead, didn't you, sir?" and Obi-Wan says "Yes, well. How did you know where to shoot him?" and Wolffe says "I've seen that armour before. Lightsabers don't affect it, which is why I aimed for his big head." Up in space, Grievous is talking to Dooku via hologram. Dooku says "Congratulations on a job well done, Grievous. The people of Dathomir are now devastated, and it will be a long time before the nightbrother and nightsister clans will prove a threat to us again." Grievous coldly nods his agreement...


Once the Republic is prepared to leave Dathomir, Obi-Wan walks up to Anakin and says "Rex has told me something interesting, Anakin. I hear you slaughtered all those nightbrothers, when I clearly told you to disarm them, and take them prisoner" and Anakin replies "It was easier to kill those savage's. The killing of people is all part of the war." Obi-Wan angrily says to Anakin "You are a Jedi, Skywalker. Not a merciless beast like Maul!" and Anakin says "Perhaps, sir. But there's always exceptions." Obi-Wan looks stunned at Anakin, and says "Since when have you called me "sir"?" and Anakin replies "Since when you called me "Skywalker"?" Anakin turns around, and leaving Obi-Wan standing there, Anakin marches into a Venator-class star destroyer, with an ugly expression on his face. Rex notices Anakin's expression, and Rex wonders whether Anakin truly cares about the people of the Clone Wars...


Next-time: "A stealth mission! The return of the stealth ops clone troopers, including Blackout & Spark! Ahsoka meets a Jedi her own age? See it all, in the upcoming "CIS Prototype Death Star" arc!"
