Ezra was showing his  younger baby sister battle of coursant with Ahsoka help

"Ow!" said Bruck as the medical droid dressed a wound on his side. The rest of them were being attended by a combination of medical droids and clone medics while Master Sinube and the younglings stood by. It only took around two hours for their wounds to be dressed since they were mostly shrapnel wounds rather than blaster wounds. Taran stood up from the cot, a few bacta patches around his chest, arms and legs. The others were the same as well with Bruck's head bandaged being the only one that stood out.

"Master Sinube. There's something that's been picking at my mind," said Taran.

"Speak young one," said Sinube.

"Where did the clones you found come from?" said Taran. "Last I checked, none were in the area."

"They also seem...different," said Ahsoka. Master Sinube rubbed his chin as he pondered.

"I haven't really thought about it till now. Any of these differences you notice?" said Sinube.

"For one, their accuracy is off," said Taran.

"Two, they don't fight as well as other troopers we've seen," said Ahsoka.

"And they're too...ridged," said Taran. He turned to a clone trooper standing guard about ten feet away.

"Trooper, can you come here for a moment?" said Taran.

"Sir yes sir," said the trooper. He calmly walked over to him, standing in front of them all.

"What's your creed?" said Taran.

"To protect the Chancellor and the Republic," said the clone.

"The Chancellor?" thought Taran. "And what's your creed with your brothers?"

"Fight as one and watch each others' backs," said the trooper. All of their eyes widened at his statement.

"You can go back to your duties soldier," said Ahsoka.

"Sir yes sir," said the clone, walking back towards his station.

"He didn't know about Vode An," said Taran.

"This is too weird," said Ahsoka. "You think we should look into it."

"Perhaps another time, but for now we must continue to push back the Separatists still in the city. I won't ask you all to come with us," said Sinube. Bruck stood up, flexing his muscles.

"I think I can go on, but more for support than force," said Bruck.

"I feel the same way," said Tia as she flexed her legs.

"I think you have our answer," said Ahsoka.

"Should I send you all back?" said Sinube, pointing to the younglings

"With all due respect Master," said Ahsoka, standing up, "I wouldn't mind having these six with us all the way through." The younglings smiled at her, which she returned.

"And what should I say about their disappearance. Plus you least the Jedi order?" said Sinube.

"Say it was a chaotic event. Sometimes we lost sight of things in the heat of warfare," said Ahsoka. Sinube smiled.

"Master Kenobi has taught you too well," said Sinube.

"I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for him," said Ahsoka. "I just wonder what he's doing right now."

"Flying is for droids," said Obi-Wan. His starfighter was currently dodging the missiles of the Vulture droid. He veered and weaved through the the engaged capital ships. The missiles still kept following him. However, he was more shocked when they flew past him. They exploded some distance in front of him. He saw green-grey spherical objects appeared out of them and latch onto his ship.

"I'm hit. Anakin?" said Obi-Wan.

"I see them," Anakin replied. "Buzz droids."

"Ezra Where are you." Anakin ordered and know was worried until he heard a com

"I am in Grievous ship already and I am engage Grievous." Ezra said as Anakin heard lightsaber

The buzz droids unlatched from their shields and went to work doing what they do best: mess up the starfighter. Already one was delving into the ship's hull to get to the control wires. Obi-Wan could only watch as the buzz droids began their dirty work. One scuttled over his cockpit window towards his astromech droid, R4.

"R4 be careful, there's a-" he said. The buzz droid got to the astromech and was already tearing into his dome. With little effort it cut through enough to tear the astromech's head off and send it flying into space, the head whining as it flew behind him.

"Oh dear," said Obi-Wan. He knew he was heading into a world of trouble. A buzz droid managed to carve its way into the control gauntlet, hampering any efforts Obi-Wan could make to steer the ship.

"They're shutting down all of the controls," said Obi-Wan. Anakin's fighter came up directly behind his.

"Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them," said Anakin.

"The mission...get to the command ship. Get to the Chancellor. We're running out of tricks here," said Obi-Wan. His fighter at the moment was done for. It wouldn't make sense for Anakin to try and help him when he could continue on the mission to save the Chancellor. Any normal person would have left Obi-Wan to his fate and carried on.

Anakin wasn't a normal person.

He fired his lasers as carefully as possible, hitting a few buzz droids on Obi-Wan's ship. The strategy was working until the ones he was aiming for on the ship's left wing moved enough to where the cannon blasts hit the wing instead. Good news, the buzz droids were detached from the left wing and shot into space. The bad news, Obi-Wan had only one wing left.

"In the name of!" Obi-Wan yelled. The two ships moved through an area heavily contested between a Star Destroyer and a Separatist ship, explosions all around them.

"Hold your fire, you're not helping here!" said Obi-Wan.

"I agree bad idea," said Anakin, hitting himself in his mind to how undeniably reckless that approach was. A buzz droid near the nose of the starfighter damaged a coolant cable, causing it to spray onto Obi-Wan's cockpit window.

"I can't see a thing. My cockpit is fogging," said Obi-Wan, straining to see out the window. Anakin moved to get his ship into position, another idea in his mind. Hopefully, he thought, it just my work.

"They're all over me. Anakin-" said Obi-Wan. Suddenly, he felt something hit his left as if to batter his already crippled starfighter. It hit him again, confirming his suspicions that it was Anakin. From what he could strain out of the glass, he could see Anakin trying to crush the buzz droids with his wing.

"Move to the right," said Anakin.

"Hold on Anakin. You're gonna get us both killed," said Obi-Wan. "Get out of here, there's nothing more you can do."

"I'm not leaving without you Master," said Anakin, ending all debating between the two. Anakin expertly moved his starfighter until he and Obi-Wan's ships were lined wingtip to wingtip. He moved in in order to ram into the ship one more time. This time the buzz droids were crushed, save for one. The lone survivor climbed onto Anakin's ship as he pulled away, immediately targeting R2. The little blue droid fished out his charge arm to ward the buzz droid off.

"Hit him R2," said Anakin. The buzz droid made the first advance. R2 countered by hitting him with the arm, sending it scurrying back.

"Watch out," said Anakin. The buzz droid tried again, only to be sent back again.

"R2, hit the buzz droid's center eye," said Obi-Wan. R2 beeped, aiming the arm at the droid's center eye. He charged it up and fired it as the buzz droid got close. The buzz droid had moved in close, wanting to try and finish him off for good. It wasn't prepared to counter the electric hit. The arc of electricity hit it dead on, frying the eye and the circuitry inside. It slumped to the floor, deactivated. The outside pressure sent it sliding off the ship.

"Yeah you got him!" Anakin cheered.

"Great R2," said Obi-Wan. Continuing their flight the turbolaser, anti-aircraft flak, and other guns intensified.

"The general's command ship is dead ahead," said Anakin. The Invisible Hand stood as a bastion of firepower as it shot not only at them, but other ships in the area. R2 screamed as their ship narrowly avoided their fire. It seemed like every gun on the ship was firing.

"Well have you noticed the shields are still up again!" said Obi-Wan.

"Sorry Master," said Anakin. He spun his Interceptor around Obi-Wan's, firing his laser cannons at the shield generators flanking the Invisible Hand's hangar. The generators were destroyed after the sustained blasts, dissipating the hangar's shield. A metal safeguard door began sliding into place to keep the pressure inside the shield. The Interceptors raced towards the rapidly closing hangar door.

"Oh I have a bad feeling about this," said Obi-Wan, bracing himself for what was to follow. They gunned their engines to the max. It proved fruitful. They managed to get past the hangar door in the nick of time, the doors closing shut as soon as Anakin's fighter made it in. Their fighters hit the steel floor hard, crashing past barrels, weaponry and droids. Obi-Wan shot out of his cockpit, his lightsaber coming to life as he spun in the air before touching the ground and slicing straight through the droids around him.

Anakin's ship halted to a stop. He hurriedly took off his safety belts and opened the cockpit, also jettisoning R2 out of the ship. seeing  Gerivous retreating and Ezra destroying droid 

"There they are. Fire!" said a battle droid squad leader. The other droids under his command fired at the Jedi Knight. Anakin's lightsaber was already on as he spun it around in a swirling display that had their shots ricochet back to the droids. He and Obi-Wan steadily made their way towards each other, deflecting the blaster shots back at the droids as the droids in the hangar advanced onto their position. Obi-Wan and Anakin soon switched to go on the offensive with Ezra, moving forward to slice through the battle droids heading for them. R2 rolled till he was behind them as if asking for orders.

"R2. Locate the Chancellor," said Ezra, slicing through another battle droid. R2 beeped and headed to the closest computer terminal as the two Jedi finished off the last of the droids. The last droid fell to the ground, braying it's 'death' yell as it clattered to the ground. R2 connected to the terminal with his scomp link and broadcast an image of the entire ship. A white light displayed the location of the Chancellor's beacon.

"The Chancellor's signal is coming from right there," said Obi-Wan pointing to the hologram. "The observation platform at the top of that spire."

Anakin's senses became uneasy as he felt a familiar presence on board the ship. "I sense Count Dooku."

"I sense a trap," said Obi-Wan.

"Next move?" Ezra 

"Spring it."

Obi-Wan and Anakin was thrown hard into the railing of the upper stairway, falling to the ground. Dooku raised his hand, using the Force to cause the section to fall on top of him, knocking both Jedi Master unconscious. Ezra could only watch in stunned silence. Fear washed over him briefly as he realized he was on his own. Everything now rested firmly on his shoulder. Sadness because his former master, his best friend, a man he could call his brother, was now currently unconscious on the floor and a man who is like a father to him. However, another emotion was beginning to fill him.

Anger.

Ezra looked with rage-filled eyes he got to his feet and charged Dooku, kicking him off the stairway. He leaped down as well and the two men continued their fight. Their lightsabers clashed endlessly in a display or red and purple, white sparking in every time their blades crashed together. The Count's Makashi against Ezra's Shien and Soresu stance . Their lightsabers met again, pressing into the other.

"I sense great fear in you Bridger. You have hate; you have anger, but you don't use them," said Dooku. Ezra hit the lightsaber away from him.

"If he wants hate and anger, I'll give it to him," Ezra thought. For three years the Count had begged him, threatened him with Anakin and his loved ones Leia and his friends, and caused discord, chaos and death wherever he went. Ezra could still feel the tingle on the edge of his arm where his real arm met his robotic limb. From cutting off his arm to when the Count had captured them on Korriban to now, and the Count had the sense to have a smug look? This time, he was going to make him pay even for Cutting his hand. Ezra attacked first, using the emotions, the Jedi had forbidden others to use in combat.

He pressed the attack, for once causing the Count to lose ground as their fight took them around the Chancellor's chair. Dooku began to slowly realize that he his provocations were backfiring on hm now as he fought to just keep up with Ezra's attacks. Anakin now plainly saw that he was gaining the upper hand in their duel.

Their lightsabers clashed endlessly in intricate patterns and techniques prescribed to their forms. Their lightsabers locked again and Ezra twisted their lightsabers down. Using an advanced Shien maneuver to move his hands around his hilt to twist it inside Dooku's grip. There was no defense to this. His lightsaber sliced of Dooku's hands. The severed hands flew into the air to the force of the blow, Ezra catching the Count's lightsaber in his activation and activating the red beam.

The Count dropped to his knees as Ezra crossed the two lightsabers in an X around his throat. He was now completely at Ezra's mercy. The Chancellor's face broke into one of happiness.

"Good Ezra, good," said the Chancellor, congratulating Ezra on his feat. "Kill him." Both Ezra and Dooku's eyes widened. The Count looked to the Chancellor as if pleading for his life.

"Kill him now," said the Chancellor. The Count looked back up to Ezra. As Ezra looked at him, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sorrow for his enemy. The old man looked broken and utterly helpless. Despite everything Dooku had done to him and countless others, how could he kill this defenseless old man?

"I shouldn't," said Ezra.

"Do it," said the Chancellor. Ezra looked down at Dooku's face on more time. Suddenly, every negative emotion came back to him. The long three years of pain and anguish the Count made him feel. His eyes darkened at the thoughts. He flicked his wrists out, and the Count's head came tumbling down off his shoulders. His body slumped to the floor, never to rise again. Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, was dead.

"I couldn't stop myself," said Ezra, walking over to the chair.

"You did well, Ezra. He was too dangerous to be kept alive," said Palpatine.

"Yes," said Ezra, turning the binders off on the chair, "but he was an unarmed prisoner. I shouldn't have done that. It's not the Jedi way."

"It is only natural," said Palpatine, standing up and moving around now that he was free from his confinement. "He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge. It wasn't the first time, Ezra. Remember what you told me about your friends massacre?"

"How could I not? I can never forget," Ezra thought.

"Now, we must leave before more security droids arrive," said Palpatine. Palpatine made for the stairs while Ezra went to check on Anakin and Obi-Wan's state. To his relief, his friends was still alive.

"Ezra, there's no time. We must leave him," said Palpatine.

"I am alright," said Anakin groaning

"Leave Obi-Wan or we'll never make it," said Palpatine.

"His fate will be the same ours," Anakin said grimly. and saw Dooku head cut off

"They're here," said the lieutenant. Sure enough, ten LAAT gunships flew down to help the beleaguered force on the street. The gunships opened fire, shooting their missiles and frontal laser cannons at the droids. Droids were blown to pieces or thrown around all over the street from the assault as the gunships made to land quickly before droid starfighters were alerted to their presence. They were able to slip in as new fighters came in tie up the still numerous Vultures and tri-fighters in the skies. The bay doors opened to allows squads of clone troopers out and into the fray, their blue markings allowing them all to be identified right away.

501st Legion.

"It appears that Master Kenobi ,Bridger, and Skywalker are commandeering that vessel," said Sinube.

"Wait! You mean they're flying that?!" said Rex.

The ship hit the ground of the airfield hard, skidding along the metal surface. The slide completely tore apart the runway, and even a nearby tower. It kept on skidding until finally its momentum ceased and it was brought to a halt. Inside, Anakin, Ezra, Obi-Wan, Papatine and R2 let out a sigh or beep of relief. Obi-Wan ran his hand through his hair as he fought to keep from having a personal a heart attack.

"Another happy landing," he said. The comment caused Anakin and Ezra to crack a smile, while the Palpatine looked at the two of them with mysticism and wonder as if asking how these two operated all this time.

"That day. I shouldn't have killed Count Dooku." Ezra said
