Jedi Master Kit Fisto sits in his Delta-7B starfighter in orbit around the fog shrouded third moon of Vassek. He prompts his astromech droid, R6-H5, to inform the Outer Rim Command Center that he has traced the beacon of the stolen Republic frigate. Kit Fisto learns that his old Padawan, Nahdar Vebb, has also honed in on the tracking signal and has already reached the moon's surface.

After landing, Fisto tells Arsix he'll be fine without him. He then spots a Republic attack shuttle parked nearby with Mon Calamari Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb, who is talking with his clone troops. Clone Commander Fil has pinpointed the Republic tracking signal to the south end of the gorge, and the Republic team leaves to investigate.

The troops are ready to break out thermal detonators to blast their way through, and Vebb is ready to hack his way into the doors using his lightsaber. But Fisto takes a closer look at the paneling of the door and spots a trigger switch which opens the door.

They approach the only lit chamber in the maze of dark passageways. Nute Gunray's unmistakable voice can be heard barking out orders to stay on guard and be ready for anything. A high-backed chair faces away from them, and five battle droids attentively listen to the viceroy's commands.

The Jedi enter and ignite their blades. The battle droids open fire, but are quickly cut down. Nahdar especially slashes apart droids with zeal, Force-pushing their already segmented fragments. Kit reminds Vebb not to abuse his Force powers in battle.

The Jedi spin the chair around only to find that Gunray isn't there -- instead, they stare at a hologram of the slippery Neimoidian. The Republic tracking beacon rests on the chair; the Separatists clearly knew they were being followed.

Another chamber slowly creaks open revealing a dark corridor that leads to more creepy rooms filled with statues of a glorious alien warrior. The last chamber opens to suspended armored belonging to General Grievous -- the Jedi have unwittingly penetrated the Separatist warlord's lair!

In space, General Grievous' starfighter soars toward the Vassek moon. Count Dooku's hologram appears before the general and voices concern that Grievous has lost his focus. Lord Sidious demands results. Grievous is insulted and angry; he can only do so much with the incompetent battle droids under his command.

General Grievous marches through the hallways of his lair, calling for his guards and his pet, Gor. He is confused by the silence. Suddenly, the Jedi and their clones spring from the shadows and surround Grievous. Kit Fisto demands that Grievous surrender.

The clones fire their ascension cables at the General, latching onto his legs. They pull with all their might, cutting Grievous' mobility. Kit slashes laterally across Grievous' limbs, hacking off the general's legs below the cables! His upper body topples to the floor as his legs fall to the side. Grievous scurries away, clambering on all four arms like a twisted robotic spider.

Vebb is furious. He complains that he had Grievous, but the clones got in the way. Kit Fisto doesn't like what he sees in his former apprentice, and advises that they take care of their wounded.

Grievous escapes to his secret control room where his doctor A-4D complains about Grievous' injuries while fetching the general's spare parts.

Grievous appears as a hologram in the corridor where Kit, Vebb and the clones stand. He taunts the uninvited guests before triggering another trap. The floor drops from underneath their feet. The Jedi avoid the pitfall, but two clones plummet below.

Grievous springs his next trap: releasing the ravenous pet roggwart, Gor. The monstrous creature enters the corridors. The Jedi and Commander Fil try to stand their ground. Nahdar lops off Gor's tail, while Fisto, who has retrieved his weapon, cuts off the creature's arms. In agony, Gor collapses to the ground, and Fisto puts the dimwitted beast out of its misery by driving his lightsaber into its neck.

Nahdar and Fisto chase Grievous to his control room. The young Mon Calamari impulsively charges Grievous. The door to the control room slams shut, separating Fisto and his former apprentice. With two lightsabers Grievous pins Nahdar's blade, and then uses one of his extra arms to pull out a blaster pistol, with which he shoots Nahdar twice in the abdomen, killing the Mon Calamari.

Fisto watches the fall of his apprentice, but has little time to mourn. Arsix reaches Kit on his comlink. Fisto tells the little droid to meet him on the south landing platform. Grievous cuts through the control room's workstation, and flees.

On the fog-shrouded landing platform, Fisto arrives and calls for his droid to pilot the starfighter in. Grievous emerges at the lip of the platform, climbing to the surface to confront Kit. Grievous extends all four arms and spins a quartet of lightsabers into deadly fanblades of energy. Fisto is outnumbered by bodyguards. But just then, Arsix arrives in the Jedi starfighter. Kit leaps aboard the fighter as it flies away.
