Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Piracy in deep space!

Infamous outlaw Hondo Ohnaka attacks a Jedi transport

carrying six younglings

who just received their lightsaber crystals.

So rare are these crystals

that Hondo knows he can sell them on the black market

for a small fortune.

In a desperate attempt to save the younglings,

Ahsoka Tano is captured by Hondo and his pirate horde.

Now, with a damaged ship,

the younglings are stranded and alone.

This is the Crucible

calling the Republic fleet.

Come in please.

We need help.

This is General Kenobi.

We have your transmission.

The General Kenobi?

The pirate Hondo has attacked and severely damaged our ship

and taken our chaperone, Ahsoka Tano.

I'm dispatching Commander Cody to bring you back.

We shall deal with Hondo on Florrum.

Will Ahsoka be all right?

Hondo would be even more of a fool than I think he is

to hurt her.

Once we've picked you up we'll focus on rescuing Ahsoka.

But we could help Ahsoka a lot sooner than you can.

You've shown great bravery, but these pirates...

It was us who managed to drive them from the ship.

You will not jeopardize your safety

trying to be heroes, understood?

Yes, Master.

Their coordinates put them dangerously close to Florrum.

I do not want them getting any ideas.

You will need to leave quickly, Cody.

Sir, enemy fleets coming out of hyperspace.

Battle stations.

Launch all fighters.

Cody, looks like you're staying here for now.

Heh, what do you think?

I think you've finished your lightsaber.

Doesn't mean you know how to use it.

Well, if you hurry up with yours,

maybe we could find out.

I'll finish mine when I'm ready.

Seeing as how our rescue party has forgotten us,

you'll have plenty of time.

They probably just got delayed.

Delayed?

Ahsoka needs our help, and we're sitting around

like children.

We are children.

I vote we mount a rescue mission.

Gungi is with me.

Byph?

That's three votes for and...

One against.

Perfect timing.

There's a problem with the ship.

What kind of problem?

Breaking away from the pirate ship

ruptured the entire filtering system.

What does that mean?

It means she's venting coolant,

and if we don't land soon, the engines will explode.

We'll have to land and let the system reset.

Then it's settled.

If we stay out here we'll die.

We go to Florrum, let the engines cool,

and rescue Ahsoka.

A rescue mission?

It would be wise if you would let me go.

No, it would be unprofitable if I would let you go,

and why would I do something as shortsighted as that?

If you don't let me go,

you will wish you had been born a protocol droid.

Sometimes I do anyway.

But you are really in no position

to make threats, young lady.

You look stressed.

Are you thirsty?

A drink, perhaps?

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Sorry, but I do not like to share.

Our forces are being overrun.

The droids are sending out boarding parties.

We must get to the main hangar to repel them.

We're being overrun!

Push forward!

Kenobi.

You'll regret that.

Florrum.

Guess we're in the right place.

R2, finish reassembling Master Huyang, will you?

I hate to see him like this.

Ganodi, you stay with the ship.

And who put you in charge?

We're going to need to make a quick escape,

and you're the only one that had flight simulator training

at the temple.

Oh, seeing as you put it like that.

I don't see anything.

There's no one.

Are we sure we even landed near their base?

Well, we couldn't land too close, could we?

My scanner's indicating a strong power source.

Uh, that way.

It must be their base.

You have no idea how we're going to get inside

and find Ahsoka, do you?

I'm working on it.

Byph is right. We better get moving.

We'll figure out a strategy on the way.

You know the Republic won't pay a ransom for me,

and the Separatists can't be trusted.

They'll betray you and kill us both.

Yes, I know this, my dear.

The Separatists are no friends of mine.

Don't ask me why, but Dooku holds such a grudge

against me since our little "I held him hostage" affair.

Pah!

The truth is, I have my sights set

on more nefarious criminals than I,

a businessman who will pay handsomely for a Jedi.

A female Jedi at that.

You don't scare me, Hondo.

Ooh!

Oh, by the way.

They don't care if you're dead or alive.

I mean, I prefer alive.

Less messy.

But I find my moods so changeable these days.

Ooh!

General, the fuel barrel!

Right.

Fall back.

Fall back!

This is General Kenobi.

Abandon ship. Abandon ship!

Sir, shouldn't we stay and fight?
