Anakin Skywalker: Stop hiding and fight me—
Obi-Wan Kenobi: ……uugghhhh……

Anakin Skywalker: Master?! Are you alright??
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh, I’ve been better…can you free my hands?
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Where’s Dooku?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: I don’t know. The last thing I remember was that mysterious warrior attacking and —

Anakin Skywalker: —he’s dead. Come on, I got to get you out of here. Commander……come in, Commander……this is Skywalker…
| |
| 
Commander Cody: General Skywalker……we’re under attack!……General!………GRIEVOUS!
| |
| 
Meanwhile, in one of the Crystal Mines tunnels……
Commander Cody: All units…OPEN FIRE!!!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Zank: Ugh!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Wark: I got him!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Wark: Aaaahhhhhh…
General Grievous: Ha ha ha ha!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Pry: Target locked in.
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Pry: Bleh!
| |
| 
General Grievous: Clone Commander……
Commander Cody: He’s over here!!!
| |
| 
Commander Cody: Take him down! NOW! Take him—UGH!
| |
| 
General Grievous: Call for help, Commander! Call the Jedi scum!!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Fraz: Hold your fire! We don’t want to hit the Commander!!
| |
| 
Commander Cody: Forget about me! FIRE! FIRE!
General Grievous: Rrrrrrrrrrrr……
| |
| 
Commander Cody: TAKE HIM DOWN———
CRUNCH!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Fraz: OPEN FIRE!!!
| |
| 
Grievous shakes off his cape, and activates four lightsabers while running towards the Clones.
Clone Trooper Fraz: Wha?!
| |
| 
Clone Trooper Fraz: Look out!
Clone Trooper Baz: Aaaahhhhh!
Clone Trooper Drex: He’s too fast—
| |
| 
General Grievous: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Time to go, General. Our work is done here. My Master will be most pleased.
| |
| 
General Grievous: As you wish……
| |
| 
A few minutes later……
Commander Cody: ……stay with me, solider……help is…on the way……
| |
| 
Commander Cody on comlink: ………anyone there?……this is…Commander Cody……we need……medivacs……ASAP!!!
| |
| 
Obi-Wan Kenobi: By the Force……we’re too late.
Commander Cody: ……General Kenobi?
| |
| 
Commander Cody: ……we……couldn’t……hold them……Grievous……and Dooku……
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Save your strength, Cody. We’re getting you out of here.
Anakin Skywalker: Dooku was here?!
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: We can’t let them escape, Master! We can use the speeders to pursue them——
Commander Cody: Central command reports……Federation Starships……coming out of hyper space……attacking our ships……
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Dooku’s escape plans, no doubt. He was fully prepared for this. This was never about Oner or the Crystal Mines.
| |
| 
Obi-Wan Kenobi: We’re can’t do anything about Dooku now, Anakin. There’ll be another time. All we can do is treat the wounded until help arrives. These troopers don’t have much time.
Anakin Skywalker: (thinking) But…………I can’t fail……again……I won’t……
