| As the Battle of Oner continues to rage, the 212th Battalion begins to focus their attack on the Droid Barracks, hoping a victory awaits them.
| |
|
Anakin Skywalker: How many battle droids have we destroyed so far, Master?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: I’ve lost count. It doesn’t make sense - why would the Separatists amass such a large army on an empty planet?
| |
|
Clone Trooper Kyde: General Kenobi!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Kyde: Commander Cody has successfully engaged the target. He has requested permission to begin the full assault on the Barracks.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Very good, Kyde. Have Cody issue the order and we will meet you there.
| |
|
Anakin Skywalker: The tide of the battle has now shifted to our side.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: I hope your right, Anakin. But don’t get too confident. One can never underestimate Count Dooku. I’m sure he has something in store for us.
| |
|
Meanwhile, back on the battlefield…
Battle Droid 781C: Republic forces have surrounded the Barracks.
| |
|
Clone Trooper Agal: We got new orders from Commander Cody! All squads…CHARGE!
| |
|
Clone Troopers: Storm the Barracks!
| |
|
Battle Droid 781C: Open fire!
| |
|
Droid Commander OOM-12: Primary units……defend the Barracks.
| |
|
Droid Commander OOM-12: Secondary units……encircle the Clone Army……commence the second-tier assault.
| |
|
Count Dooku: Status report, Commander.
| |
|
Droid Commander OOM-12: The Clone Army is concentrated around the Barracks, sir. Our secondary units are now in place to begin a second assault from behind the Clone Army. Victory is inevitable.
| |
|
Count Dooku: Excellent. Keep the Clone Army focused on the Barracks. Leave the rest to me.
| |
|
Clone Trooper Yerl: We got them pinned down! Move in!
| |
|
The 212th Battalion presses forward the attack in a final attempt to overrun the barracks.
| |
|
Meanwhile, two droidekas disengage behind the Clones…
| |
|
…and fire their weapons, catching the unsuspecting Clones off guard.
Clone Trooper Qurl: AAHHHH!!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Qurl over internal comlink: Droid…reinforcements……came from……behind———
Clone Trooper Agal: Repeat……from behind?……repeat last transmission…
| |
|
Another squad of battle droids appears behind Agal’s squad.
Battle Droid 943X: Open fire!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Agal: Repeat last transmiss——battle droids! Cover fire to the rear!
| |
|
| |
|
Clone Trooper Nicklin: Need a defensive position—UUGGHHH!
| |
|
Super Battle Droid X18A: Take no prisioners.
| |
|
Elsewhere…
Clone Trooper Kyde over comlink: I have a visual on an unknown subject……approaching a generator of some sort……
| |
|
Clone Trooper Kyde over comlink: ……matches the description of the mystery warrior encountered by General Kenobi & Skywalker.
Anakin Skywalker: Do not engage the target, trooper! Repeat, do not engage! He is considered armed and dangerous!
| |
|
Count Dooku: What is that sound……a speeder bike?
| |
|
Sagev: Why was the call made to return to the Barracks? Our primary concern should be the power——
| |
|
Count Dooku: YOU FOOL!
| |
|
Suddenly, an invisible force knocks Sagev to the ground while toppling the speeder bike.
Sagev: Ugh…
Clone Trooper Kyde: Heeeeyy—
| |
|
Count Dooku: What do we have here……
| |
|
Count Dooku: …a member of the famed 212th Battalion?
Clone Trooper Kyde: Count…Dooku?!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Kyde: …but…this isn’t the barracks…
Count Dooku: Very observant. Unfortunately, you will not be sharing that information with your Battalion.
| |
|
Count Dooku raises his saber and ends the life of the Clone trooper with a single stroke.
Count Dooku: You were ordered to return to the Barracks……not here.
| |
|
Sagev: I do not take orders from a droid. The power generator must be protected. The droids cannot —
| |
|
Count Dooku: —function without it. Yes, I know. But your incompetence will now lead the Republic’s forces here, instead of the Barracks. We must now prepare for their arrival.
| |
|
Count Dooku: I do not look kindly upon mistakes, Sagev. You would be wise to remember that.
| |
|
Meanwhile, near the Barracks…
Clone Trooper Ezar: Can you make out any of those reports from the other squads?
Clone Trooper Werth: Negative. Too much interference!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Ezar: There were several reports of the droids attacking from behind the other squads.
Clone Trooper Werth: Impossible! We have them surrounded at the Barracks!
| |
|
Suddenly and without warning, the secondary ring of battle droids appears and quickly begin firing into the squad.
| |
|
Clone Trooper Ezar: —aaahhhhh!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Gertz: We are taking heavy fire from a secondary ring of droids! They’re attacking from behind our line!
| |
|
Clone Trooper Gertz over comlink: ……repeat……behind our line!……we’re surrounded!
Commander Cody: (thinking) Have to hurry…
