| Joined by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the Clones of the 212th Battalion are prepared to defeat the Droid Army. Following the coordinates given by Commander Gree, Commander Cody & the 212th begin their important mission on the plains of Oner.
| |
 | 
Commander Cody: The gunship cannot get any closer without taking fire from the turrets. Check your ammo and supplies one last time, troopers.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: Everybody out!
| |
| 
Commander Cody: We’ll wait for General Kenobi’s gunship to land. Keep a lookout for any droids or rancors.
| |
| 
Trooper Dagda: We’re approaching the rendezvous point, sir.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Very good, trooper.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: I thought Commander Gree was exaggerating about the conditions on Oner. In reality, it’s worse than he described.
| |
| 
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Do give it a chance, Anakin. We’ve only just arrived.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: There’s something not right……something…distant…hiding……
| |
| 
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Don’t center on your anxiety, Anakin. Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs. Here comes Cody now.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: We’re ready to move out, General.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Lead the way.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: Lock and load, troopers! Let’s move out!
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: ……hmph……
| |
| 
Rancor: (distant low growl)
| |
| 
Some time later……
Trooper Daiki: Commander, possible targets up ahead.
Commander Cody: Everybody down! Switch to private comlink frequency 2-1-5.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: Let us check it out first, sir.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: What?! Come on, let’s take them out now!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Calm down, Anakin. Let them do their job.
| |
| 
Commander Cody on private comlink: Stay low. Sa’dia & Hadi . circle around to the left. The rest of us will go right.
Troopers Sa’dia & Hadi on private comlink: Yes, sir.
| |
| 
Trooper Sa’dia on private comlink: I have a visual, Commander — two battle droids on patrol.
| |
| 
Trooper Hadi on private comlink: They’re coming this way.
| |
| 
Commander Cody on private comlink: We’ll distract them.
(A rock hits the ground.)
| |
| 
Battle Droid 3125: What was that?
Battle Droid 2945: Probably just a critter.
| |
| 
Battle Droid 3125: Let’s check it out.
Battle Droid 2945: Roger, roger!
(Laser blast! Laser blast!)
| |
| 
Trooper Sa’dia on private comlink: They’re down.
Commander Cody on private comlink: Good work, troopers.
| |
| 
Meanwhile, at the Droid Army Command Post……
Battle Droid 1750: Two droid transmitters just went out.
OOM-12: Send all nearby units to investigate.
| |
| 
OOM-12: Activate the rest of the droids.
| |
| 
Back on the plains of Oner……
Trooper Daiki on private comlink: Several targets fast approaching from the south, sir.
Commander Cody on private comlink: Prepare to fire.
| |
| 
Battle Droid 4152: Clone troopers identified! CHARGE!
| |
| 
Commander Cody: OPEN FIRE!!!
LASER BLASTS!!!
| |
| 
Battle Droid 4152: …clone…troopers……identi——
PPFFZZZZZZZZTTT
| |
| 
Trooper Daiki on private comlink: More droids approaching from the east.
Battle Droid 4325: CHARGE!
| |
| 
Commander Cody on private comlink: Sa’dia . Hadi - Ra’d . Dagda . try to flank the droids on the right side.
Troopers on private comlink: Yes, sir!
| |
| 
Troopers Daikia on private comlink: We’ve got more droids incoming, Commander.
| |
| 
Commander Cody on private comlink: Take evasive action!
| |
| 
Trooper Ra’d: Magna guards!!!
| |
| 
Electro-staffs ignite.
ZZZZZ-ZZZZZZZZZ
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: How about now?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: OK, now they need our help.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: First one to 100 kills wins!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: This is not a competition, Anakin.
| |
| 
CLASH!
| |
| 
SLASH . CLASH!
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Always doing things the hard way, Master……
Force crunch!
| |
| 
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Always showing off, Anakin……
PPPFFFZZZTTT
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Tied 1-1.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin……this is not a competition…
| |
| 
Trooper Dagda: Droidekas!!!
| |
| 
Trooper Ba’al: Where?!?! I can’t see them!!!
Trooper Dagda: Scamble! Scramble! Scramble!
| |
| 
Droidekas disengage and open fire.
| |
| 
SLASH! CRASH!
Anakin Skywalker: 2 TO 1!!
| |
| 
SLASH! CRASH!
Anakin Skywalker: 3 TO 1!!!
| |
| 
OOM-12: Continue the assault. Begin Operation: Nightcrawler.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: They’ve splintered us. Relay the emergency coordinates to everyone. We need to regroup!
Trooper Daiki: Yes, sir! Code Orange: Regroup at points 3-4-2-8!
| |
| 
Laser blasts and explosions fill the air.
Trooper Daiki over private comlink: Code Ora……group……points……2-8!
Trooper Dagda: Didn’t copy! Come in! I’ve lost my visual. Where is everybody??
| |
| 
Trooper Daiki: Dagda has been separated from the squad, sir. But I have his coordinates.
Commander Cody: Then let’s get to him before the droids do.
| |
| 
Trooper Dagda over private comlink: Didn’t copy!! Repeat!!! Wha——who are you?!?! No, wait —— AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Commander Cody: DAGDA?!
| |
| 
Comander Cody over private comlink: Hold on, trooper! We’re on our way!!!
| |
| 
Trooper Daiki: How is he, sir?
Commander Cody: He’s……he’s gone. We’re too late.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: He was stabbed with some type of spear.
Trooper Daiki: A spear?
| |
| 
Trooper Ba’al: It was my fault. I knew this was his first real combat. I should have never let him out of my sight.
| |
| 
Commander Cody: Don’t blame yourself, Ba’al. Dagda knew the danger of this mission. But we have to leave him behind. Leave a marker, and we will return for him.
Trooper Ba’al: But sir—
| |
| 
Commander Cody: I don’t want to leave him anymore than you do, Ba’al. But we are in a critical situation. The entire mission depends on us reaching their base. And his death tells us that we must contend with something more dangerous than droids.
| |
| 
OOM-12: Continue the offensive. The battle is ours to lose.
| |
| 
OOM-12: Advance the 3rd and 4th droid armies.
| |
| 
Sagev: Notify Count Dooku that the battle will be over shortly.
OOM-12: Yes, sir.
