Asajj Ventress and Durge are searching a large spacecraft on which Darth Tyranus has told them he senses some presence. They enter a hall filled with many trophies of battle, and approach one another from opposite directions, having split-up and secured any exits from the hall.

Durge is attacked by a deadly combination of baleful life and advanced technology he later learns is named Grievous. Ventress joins the battle but she too is eventually bested by this new monster. Returning to his mentor Tyranus with the pair of battered bodies, he is told he has passed his test, and is ordered to put Durge and Ventress in bacta tanks to allow them to heal.

Two clone commando squads are assigned the dangerous task of retrieving a mysterious package, intended for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Dispatched to Ord Mantell, White Squad (led by RC-1013 "Sarge") and Blue Squad attempt to intercept a gang of mercenary Trandoshans.

The Trandoshans kill Blue Squad and are pursued by White Squad to a meeting with Separatist battle droid forces. The ill-fated White Squad is whittled down to just Sarge, who tackles and executes the lead Trandoshan with his combat knife.

Upon receipt of the package, Palpatine privately reveals it is a worthless trinket. The commandos have given their lives for nothing.

Preceded by: Stranger in Town
Followed by: Another Fine Mess

On an unknown planet, nine clone troopers are the remainder of their force. A weakening force field is all that protects them from an army of thousands of battle droids. As the force field breaks, the droid army immediately marches in and demands surrender. The clones choose to go out fighting, and their resilience pays off when a smoking Republic gunship drops out of the air. Plo Koon jumps out, and although the clones cannot understand him, they comprehend enough to shoot a rope at a massive Separatist weapon, providing a small bridge for the Jedi Master. Koon, effortlessly wielding his lightsaber, quickly destroys the machine, and the remainder of the Separatist forces. As he leaves, he drops one last comment, which the clones understand: "One battle, one Jedi."
