My Clone Wars Stories Episode 100: Separatist Attack

Characters: Chewbacca, Tarfful, Mermeru, Wookie Warriors, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Plo Koon, Yoda, Lieutenant Thire, Clone Trooper Rys, Clone Trooper Jek, Commander Wolffe, Wolfpack Troopers, ARF Troopers, Kashyyyk Troopers, San Hill, Count Dooku, Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Destroyer Droids.

*Wookie language translated to basic*

Narration: "Invasion on Kashyyyk! Separatist forces, commanded by Separatist San Hill, have invaded Kashyyyk and gained a command post on the surface. Now, while the Separatists plot their next move, Republic forces head for Kashyyyk, to assist the Wookie population!"

San Hill talks with Count Dooku ahead of his attack. San says "Everything is going according to plan, Count. We will have these Wookie's defeated!" and Dooku says "Very well, San Hill. But be warned, should you fail, I will not be so forgiving!" As Dooku's hologram disappears, San Hill screams "Attack!" to the forces outside his observation post on Kashyyyk. "You heard him, attack!" says a Battle Droid Commander, and they begin to move up the beach. Tri-droids open fire on the village, Wookie Warriors scramble away from the target of the droids, only to be shot down by oncoming Battle Droids. Chewbacca turns to the Wookie's and says *Today we fight for our whole civilization. Now defend yourselves*. Tarfful, Mermeru and more Wookie's follow Chewbacca in the counter-attack, as they tussle with the droids. In space, venator-class cruisers deploy ships for a space battle, and landing on Kashyyyk. "Here we go!" says Anakin, as he and Ahsoka Tano lead ARC-170 starfighters in the space battle, taking on three Banking Clan frigates. Ahsoka contacts Yoda, and asks him "How is the gunship, Master Yoda?". Yoda replies "Better than riding in one of those starfighters, this path is." Commander Wolffe tells the clones "Strap yourselves in boys, we're in for one heck of a show down there!" The Republic gunship's get through the space battle, and land in between the droids and Wookie's. For a moment, nobody moves, but then the gunship doors open and everyone begins pouring out. While Yoda, Plo Koon, Thire, Jek and Rys go to link up with Chewbacca, Wolffe and the many clones protect the gunship's from being destroyed. More gunship's arrive, deploying AT-RT walkers. The ARF Troopers start firing at crab droids, trying to take them out. One crab droid attacks Chewbacca, but Yoda arrives just in time to slice it up and save Chewbacca. Chewbacca nods his thanks to Yoda, before continuing to fire upon incoming droids. In space, Ahsoka and Anakin have blown up two frigate's, and hunt down the last one. "Bombs away!" calls Ahsoka, before they bomb the last frigate, blowing it into space dust. As Wolffe and his Wolfpack and Kashyyyk troopers are about to be overun, Anakin arrives and protects them. Ahsoka also jumps down to assist, and joins Wolffe. As they fight back to back, Chewbacca and Yoda arrive in a Wookie catamaran to assist. Ahsoka and Wolffe hop in the catamaran, which flies into the air to join the air battle...

Yoda and Chewbacca get off the catamaran at the command post, leaving Ahsoka and Wolffe to use it. Yoda and Chewbacca come under attack, but Thire, Rys and Jek arrive to repel the attacking Super Battle Droids. Ahsoka pilots the catamaran, while Wolffe uses it's blaster cannon to fire upon droids below. San Hill begins to get the feeling it might not be his day. With the gunship's protected, Anakin and the Wolfpack clones start attacking droid observation posts around. Anakin is attacked by Destroyer Droids upon reaching the first one, but the arrival of several Wolfpack clones enables him to defeat them, with the help of a few thermal detonators. As Battle Droids surround them, Anakin defends the Wolfpack clones and slices up the droids. "Nice going, sir!" one of the clones says, and Anakin replies "Thank you, trooper. But there is still a long way to go in this battle!" As Anakin deals with the observation posts, Ahsoka and Wolffe are shot down in the catamaran, and land heavily on the beach. As Super Battle Droids close in one the dazed pair, they are shot down and defeated. Plo Koon says to Agsoka "Looked like you could've needed some help, Little Soka". "Always welcome, Master Plo" replies Ahsoka. Tri-droids start firing at them, but Ahsoka clims up one one and slices it's legs off, sending it crumpling to the ground. Wolfpack clones use jetpacks to get onboard more tri-droids, and start shooting them in the eyes. The tri-droids flail madly, and send many Wolfpack clones flying to their deaths. AT-RT walkers arrive and shoot the tri-droids down, before running off to engage oncoming Super Battle Droids. Ahsoka and Plo Koon protect a squad of Kashyyyk troopers who are injured from being killed by Super Battle Droids. Wolffe arrives to help Anakin, and together they defeat the droids, and blow up the observation posts. Realizing the sooner he acts the better, San Hill calls a retreat, ordering all his droids back before they are destroyed...

The Republic forces regroup inside the barricades protecting the Wookie village. "That wasn't so tough!" Anakin says. Ahsoka replies "You had it easy taking out the observation posts. Myself and Master Plo had the hard work." Plo then intervenes and says "If you two are quite finished, our reinforcements should be arriving soon." Yoda says "In these dark times, the more survivors the better, for these dark battles." Tarfful and Chewbacca exchange worried glances, unsure of who or how many will die to protect Kashyyyk...

My Clone Wars Stories Episode 99: Slavers

Characters: Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Captain Rex, Commander Gree, Clone Trooper Draa, 41st Clones, 501st Clones, Commander Cody, Clone Trooper Bolt, Clone Trooper Wire, Togrutan Slaves, Togrutan Soldiers, Cad Bane, Wolfbane Warriors, Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Count Dooku, Darth Sidious.

"Victory! One last push is all that is required for the Republic to rescue Shili from devestation! Can the Republic overthrow Cad Bane at last, and put him in custody?"

Cad Bane watches as his meagre number of remaining forces line up the Togrutan slaves. The mission had seemed so easy when given the job, but no more. Bane knew he would have to evacuate soon. But before he can, the doors to his office open, and Bane hears the familiar noise of several lightsabers being ignited. Bane turns around to find Anakin Skywalker, Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano all standing behind him. Outside, Bane notices the final battle has begun. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli lead the clones in a final push. A couple of Wolfbane Warriors brush their way past several 41st clones, but Gree shoots them down. Cody shoots down a couple of Battle Droids, while Bolt and Wire shoot down two Super Battle Droids that were too close for comfort. Draa uses his rocket launcher to blow some cover up, allowing the 501st clones to shoot down several Wolfbane Warriors. Meanwhile, Captain Rex is busy freeing the slaves from their binders. In the office, Bane says "You're move!" to Anakin, Barriss and Ahsoka. They all attack him at once, but he dodges their reckless attacks. Bane grabs a piece of rope and ties Anakin's leg with it, before tossing Anakin out the window. Anakin lands with a thud on the surface outside. Ahsoka and Barriss attack Bane, who finally draws his lightsabers and shoots at them, disarming Ahsoka of both her lightsabers. Before Ahsoka can reach them, Bane punches her against the wall, and grabs the lightsabers himself. Bane attacks Barriss with Ahsoka's lightsabers, Barriss disarms Bane of one lightsaber, but he disposes her of her lightsaber then. Bane shoves Barriss against the wall, but before he can kill her, Y-Wing bombers bomb the area with such force that Bane loses his grip. Ahsoka comes behind and kicks Bane in the back, sending him down the stairs. Ahsoka retrieves her lightsabers, before attacking Bane, while shouting "You attacked my home planet! Now I will make you pay!" and Bane replies "I'll do any job I cam for the right-" but Ahsoka's punch to the head cuts him short, sending his hat flying off. Bane electrocutes Ahsoka with a eclectric shockwhip, before setting an explosive detonator at her feet. Ahsoka recovers just in time to evade the explosion, but Cad Bane manages to escape the planet...

Obi-Wan, Rex, Anakin, Luminara, Gree and Draa utilize Barc speeders to race off and attack the last village and save Shili. Obi-Wan, Anakin and Gree pilot, while Rex, Luminara and Draa use the turrets on the sidecar. They zoom into the village, and shoot down every attacking Battle Droid, Wolfbane Warrior and Super Battle Droid. Anakin sets an explosive on the Separatist command post, and watch as it explodes, signalling the end of a hard-fought battle. They later rendezvous with Ahsoka and Barriss, who both get treatment in bacta tanks...

On Serenno, Count Dooku talks with Darth Sidious. Sidious says "This loss is unfortunate. These slaves could have proved very useful in the war effort." Dooku asks "What are we to do, Master?" Sidious says "First of all, we need to win more battles, and utilize our resources well. As for Cad Bane, keep an eye on him, he's just in it for they momey, but there may come a point where he knows too much information"...

Next-time: "Kashyyyk under attack! Yoda in an epic battle? The return of San Hill? The Wolfpack get some decent action! Next-time on the "Battle of Kashyyyk" arc!"

My Clone Wars Stories Episode 98: Plot Worry

Characters: Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Captain Rex, Commander Cody,501st Clones, 41st Clones, Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, Commander Gree, Clone Trooper Draa, Clone Trooper Phantom, Clone Trooper Bolt, Clone Trooper Wire, Togrutan Soldiers, Togrutan Slaves, Cad Bane, Wolfbane Warriors, Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Darth Sidious, Rokhiti, Ahslok.

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!"...

My Clone Wars Stories Episode 97: Slave Plot

Characters: Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Captain Rex, 501st Clones, Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, Commander Gree, Clone Trooper Draa, Clone Trooper Phantom, Commander Cody, Clone Trooper Bolt, Clone Trooper Wire, Togrutan Soldiers, Togrutan Slaves, Cad Bane, Darth Sidious, Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Wolfbane Warriors, Togrutan Male Rokhiti, Togrutan Female Ahslok.

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...

My Clone Wars Stories Episode 96: Fett Consideration

Characters: Cad Bane, Boba Fett, Sintas Vel, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, Commander Cody, 212th Clones, Clone Trooper Bolt, Clone Trooper Wire, Stass Allie, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda.

Narration: "Pursuit! Having been ambushed by bounty hunters on a distant planet, Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Plo Koon seperately chase different bounty hunters, to capture and arrest them! Can the Jedi succeed in capturing these criminals?"

Cad Bane and Plo Koon continue their fight as they fall down the cliff. Once at the bottom,they find Commander Cody, Bolt, Wire and the two 212th clones already there. Bane instantly gets back to his feet, and shoots the two 212th clones. Bolt, Wire and Cody all return fire, but Bane uses his jetpack to get above them, he uses his flamethrower and scorches Bolt with it. Bolt goes down clutching his leg. As Cody tries to help Bolt, Wire keeps shooting at Bane, who soars away. Having patched Bolt's leg up, Cody and Wire go looking for Plo's lightsaber, which he dropped. As they search, a random creature slithers out and launches itself at Wire, sending him flying back into a rock. Cody arrives and shoots the creature. Wire adjusts his helmet, and asks "What was that?" and Cody replies "One of those cliff-crawlers. Nasty piece of business." Cody and Wire find Plo's lightsaber in a hole in one rock, and another cliff-crawler comes out and attacks them, sending Cody and Wire plummeting back down the cliff with a crash. "Nice landing, troopers" says Plo Koon, as they get back to their feet. "Eh, I've had better" says Wire. Elsewhere, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Stass Allie find and confront Boba Fett and Sintas Vel. To their surprise, Boba and Sintas put their hands up and surrender immediately. "Bring me to Coruscant!" Boba demands of Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan looks wary of Boba's demand, but brings Boba back to the gunship...

Elsewhere, Cad Bane flees on a speederbike, deciding never to work with kids again. Bane boards his xanadu blood, and leaves the planet. Plo Koon, Cody, Bolt and Wire have made it back to the gunship. Upon seeing Boba and Sintas, Bolt asks "What are they doing with us, General?" and Obi-Wan replies "They want to go to Coruscant." "Why is that?" Plo asks. Boba tells them "I want to talk to Mace Windu!", which gains gasps from Obi-Wan, Cody, Bolt and Wire. "You want to be there to kill him, don't you?" Plo asks. "No" Boba says, "I realize I was wrong. I can't go about my career hunting revenge on one man. I'm over it now." Cody, Bolt, Wire, Obi-Wan and Plo exchange sceptical looks, but upon arrival on Coruscant, head for the Jedi Temple anyway, while Cody, Bolt and Wire leave to head for the Clone barracks. Plo, Obi-Wan, Boba and Sintas Vel are met by Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu. Yoda asks "Something to say to Master Windu, have you, Boba Fett?" and Boba says "Yes." Boba goes into a speech, saying "I know what you did on Geonosis. I know and you will understand that I can never forgive you, for what you did what has torn my life apart. However, I realize I was wrong. I can't spend my whole life, thinking about revenge. It's not just because revenge is a bad thing, but because I can't spend my whole life, hunting down one man, when there are plenty of different adventures waiting out there for me. That is why I have brought Sintas Vel here along with me. We will go our adventures as bounty hunters, together." Mace nods his understanding. Anakin signals for a ship to be brought immediately. To Boba's surprise, it is his slave I, as he had only just realized he had left it on that distant planet. As if reading Boba's mind, Anakin mysteriously says "Someone you know out there, thought you might like to have this ship back." Boba nods his gratitude, before boarding slave I with Sintas Vel, and they leave Coruscant...

My Clone Wars Stories Episode 95: Bane Attack

Characters: Cad Bane, Boba Fett, Sintas Vel, Commando Droids, Mace Windu, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, Commander Cody, 212th Clones, Clone Trooper Bolt, Clone Trooper Wire, Stass Allie, Commander Drys, Clone Pilot.

Narration: "Cad Bane, having eliminated one Jedi already in his quest to get Mace Windu after him, now sets his eyes on eliminating Master Stass Allie. Can he eliminate Master Allie, and get Windu after him?"

Stass Allie and Commander Drys stand by their outpost, the only two left from their squad after the recent battle. Nearby, slave I lands, and out steps Cad Bane, Boba Fett and Sintas Vel. "Don't mess up this time!" Bane tells Boba. Boba and Sintas then exchange glances behind Bane's back, and Sintas says "Never miss with the first shot. 'Cause you'll never get another." Boba replies "I'm already on my third chance." Sintas says "You don't like his methods, do you?" and Boba replies "To put it mildly, I thought the worst was over when I left Aurra Sing." Boba and Sintas re-join Bane, who is now standing with a squad of Commando Droids. Bane says "Attack!" to the droids, and they charge at Stass Allie and Drys position. Stass Allie manages to chop up a couple of droids, but Bane has snuck up behind her, and ties her around the waist with a rope, before placing electric shockers on her wrists. Drys attempts to shoot Bane, but Sintas shoots his gun out of his hands. Boba brings up a hologram of Mace Windu, and lets Mace watch as Sintas executes Drys. Boba tells Mace "You better come quickly, Windu. Otherwise this Jedi will be excuted." The hologram disappears. Anakin and Yoda contact Obi-Wan. Anakin tells Obi-Wan "Obi-Wan! You might want to hurry, because Boba Fett is about to execute Master Allie!" Obi-Wan replies "I'm on it." Once the hologram vanishes, Obi-Wan says to the Clone Pilot "Speed it up, double time. We don't know when they will execute Master Allie!" and the Clone Pilot replies "Yes, sir!". The Republic gunship lands on the surface. The gunship doors open, and Obi-Wan and Plo Koon step out. They are followed out by the clones. "Do we even know what we're doing?" Clone Trooper Bolt asks. Commander Cody replies "Yes. Stop Bane at all costs, no matter what." Bolt says to fellow trooper Wire "Some omen!" and Wire says "This should be interesting. Let's get on with it." Bolt, Wire, Cody and the several 212th clones on the mission follow Obi-Wan and Plo Koon to the edge of the cliff...

As the Republic force moves in, they are ambushed and come under attack. Cad Bane confronts them, and shoots at Obi-Wan and Plo Koon, who dodge before igniting their lightsabers. Boba Fett and Sintas Vel, along with the Commando Droids, join Bane. "You're going back to prison, Bane!" and Bane retorts "Says the one who keeps failing to put me there!" Wire is too eager for his own good, and steps in front of Plo and Obi-Wan for a better shot. Sintas attempts to snipe Wire down, but Plo deflects the blaster bolt. Cody, Bolt and the other clones open fire, taking down several Commando Droids. Cad Bane tosses a thermal detonator, taking out a couple of clones, but Bolt shoots one of his pistols aside. Sintas says to Boba "Come, we must move on!" before grabbing Boba by the arm. Boba and Sintas run from the scene of the fight, to try and find cover. Bane grunts angrily, but can do nothing right now to stop them. Bane uses his jetpack to try and retrieve his pistol below the cliff, but Plo jumps down the cliff and attacks Bane, but Bane still manages to recover his pistol. Bane draws his other pistol out, and attempts to shoot Plo with both pistols, but Plo deflects the attack. Up above, Obi-Wan pursues Boba and Sintas, leaving Cody and the clones to finish off the Commando Droids, which they do. "Let's go help Master Plo!" Wire says, and he and Bolt slide down the cliff to help Plo. "Wait!" shouts Cody, but too late. Cody decides to lead the two remaining generic 212th clones around for a better vantage point. Bolt and Wire fire down at Bane with their DC-15 blasters from above. Bane holds off Plo long enough to fire back at them, but can't get a clear shot and misses. "Can't aim well, can you?" gloats Bolt, as he shoots Bane in the jetpack. To Bolt's horrow however, it sends Bane and Plo further down the cliff and out of sight. By this time, Cody has arrived and seen everything. "Next time, listen to your commander, and don't do anything hasty!"Bolt and Wire reply "Sorry, sir." Obi-Wan's pursuit of Boba and Sintas leads him to Stass Allie, and he uses up some time to cut her free. Having recovered her lightsaber, Obi-Wan and Stass Allie continue their pursuit...

Hiding in cover, Boba and Sintas sit alone together. Boba notices Sintas deep in thought, and asks "What's up?" and Sintas replies "It's Bane. I've just realized he is only focused on the job, and doesn't care who gets killed on either side, so long as he succeeds." Boba replies "Makes sense, due to Bane's record stating he only is in it for the money." Sintas asks Boba "Have you ever considered life, away from the war?" Boba replies "Not really. Ever since my father died on Geonosis, it's been all about revenge on Mace Windu." Sintas says "Piece of advice. Forget the revenge. It was a massive battle, in the heat of the moment, anyone could have done anything. So I say forget all about Mace Windu, and lead a life not concentrating solely on him. " Boba asks "What are you in it for then?". "A girl's got to make a living" is Sintas's reply. Boba and Sintas continue to sit there, wondering what will hapenn to them next...

Narration: "Bounty Hunter plan! Having escaped Republic custody on Coruscant, Cad Bane and Boba Fett now plan to pay the Republic back, by hunting down Jedi! Can the Jedi stop this dispicable act, before it is too late?"

Cad Bane and Boba Fett stand on a distant planet far from Coruscant, from where they had just escaped prison. Cad Bane spies a person heading towards them from below, and says "There she is. She's our other accomplice. Now get down there and greet our guest!" Bane orders Boba. "Yes, sir" Boba says to Bane, before going down the slope to join the female. She says "My name is Sintas Vel. I hear you hired me?" and Boba replies "Yes. Right this way." Boba and Sintas join Bane back where he was. Bane says "Time to move on." The three of them climb into Boba's newly designed slave I. "Cool. A firespay-31 craft. I've never been on one of these before!" says Sintas. "I've made some modifications. I can show you later when we go into battle" Boba replies. "Bane says "On the nearest planet to this one, is our Jedi target. Take and eliminate him, and we can get those Jedi to come." Boba pilots the slave I towards the planet, and into the atmosphere. "Time to begin!" says Bane, and he activates the Commando Droids by the ramp. Once Boba lowers the ramp, Bane and Commando Droids use jetpacks to fly down towards the surface, and where Bane knows the Jedi outpost is located. Boba flies slave I towars the surface, and once the outpost is in range, Sintas opens fire with the guns, bombarding the outpost below. "Time to turn up the heat! Check this out!" Boba tells Sintas, and once he gets within range, he opens fire on the outpost with a flamethrower, burning the outpost, and setting it in flames. "Good to see the kid decided to follow my plan after all, and not bottle out!" Bane says to himself, before charging at the outpost with the Commando Droids. Twi'Lek Jedi Lakre Lekral and what is left of his clones escape the flames and confront Bane. Activating his lightsaber, Lekral tells Bane "You will not take the outpost!" and Bane retorts "Not what I'm here for, pal!" before shooting at Lekral. Lekral blocks, before the clones attempt to open fire on Bane, but are instead themselves blown up by Sintas's precesion shooting. Lekral is left to fight Bane, but Bane easily disarms Lekral of his lightsaber. As Boba and Sintas land slave I and join Bane, Bane is already using his instruments of torture to electrocute Lekral. "You won't get any information of me!" Lekral tells Bane, "Again, not what I'm here for." Bane stops electrocuting Lekral, and sets him down with the several clones that survived. Bane hands Boba a pistol, and orders Boba to kill Lekral. Boba says "I can't." Bane loses his cool, and snaps "I heard about what hapenned with Aurra Sing, you couldn't kill him because he was a Clone, like you! It's different now! If you don't kill him, we won't be able to get the Jedi after us. Do you understand this?!" Boba raises his pistol, but still doesn't have the will to fire. Bane groans angrily, and slaps Boba across the face with the pistol he is holding, before executing Lekral himself. Sintas and the Commando Droids execute the clones, before they head back to slave I...

Later on, the Jedi Council receive a transmission from Cad Bane. Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker groan when they see who it is. Bane says "No need for that! It is you who I want, Mace Windu! Boba Fett wants to kill you. I have already elimated a Jedi, and many clones, so far. I am going to kill Stass Allie if you don't come to face Boba. If you do not do this, I shall hunt down and kill every single Jedi, one at a time!" before vanishing. Mace says "I better go." Yoda says "Go, you cannot, Master Windu. What the Bounty Hunter's want, give them, we must not." Obi-Wan says "Myself and Master Plo will take a squad of clones and confront Bane. He must not be allowed harm anyone else, for the galaxy's sake. Obi-Wan leaves the room, preparing himself for his next mission...
