A excavation uncovered! Republic scouts were sent to investigate a large number of Separatist sightings on the junkyard planet of Raxus Prime! Unfortunately, the scouts were eliminated as they were able to spot a small sighting of some Separatist forces before being spotted. Now knowing of the Separatist activity on Raxus Prime, The Jedi Council send Master Obi Wan Kenobi, along with Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano to investigate and eliminate the Separatist threat. Wishing to learn more before launching an attack Master Kenobi and General Skywalker plan on sending the elite commando team of Delta Squad to investigate the reasoning for this Separatist activity!

The Negotiator

The Negotiator is orbiting Raxus Prime with not a single Separatist ship in sight. Meanwhile in the bridge's briefing room, Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka are communicating with Mace Windu, Yoda, and Chancellor Palpatine about the sighting the scouts reported before they were killed. "We arrived to Raxus Prime but there were no separatist ships orbiting the planet, if anything they could have left the planet as soon as the scouts located them," said Obi Wan. "That seems a likely outcome master Kenobi, perhaps the Separatist have found what they were looking for," agreed Chancellor Palpatine. "Maybe, I sense that there's something were not seeing here...the Separatist came here for a reason," disagreed with Mace Windu. "Hmmm, hover over us does the darkness, the dark side grown it has here on Raxus Prime...discover it's origin we must," chimed in Yoda with a hint of fear in his voice.

"Of course master Yoda, that is why we have called for Delta Squad to come to Raxus Prime and investigate before we set our forces on the surface," assured Anakin. "Very well master Skywalker, happy hunting," said Chancellor Palpatine as his transmission ended. "Tread carefully you must, powerful the dark side is here on Raxus Prime," said Yoda to Obi Wan and Anakin. Obi Wan and anakin bowed to Yoda and Mace Windu as their transmission ended as Obi Wan said, "I have a bad feeling about this." "Relax Master, I'm sure that there's nothing there," said Anakin reassuringly. "I don't know master, master Windu and Yoda were very sure about something being down there," disagreed Ahsoka. Before they continued their conversation, Delta Squad entered the briefing room as they saluted their jedi generals.

"At ease Deltas, well guys we have an interesting mission for you. A couple of days ago some scouts have found some evidence of Separatist activity," said Anakin as he showed the hologram footage of the scouts sighting some Separatist transports till they are ambushed by some battle droids. Scorch whistled as he said, "Bummer." Boss stared at Scorch to stay quiet and then said to his jedi general, "So you want us to investigate and find out more?" Obi Wan nodded his head before replying, "That is correct Delta Thirty-Eight, there has to be a reason the Separatist were or are here and we must find out why." "With all due respect sir, this could be a wild goose chase for all we know," chimed in fixer. "That maybe so Fixer, but the council wants us to 9investigate just to be sure...if you guys find any Separatist movement down there just contact us and we'll send our forces down to assist you...get to it Deltas," commanded anakin as the Deltas saluted him and began to walk away. "Wait, I'm going with you guys!" shouted ahsoka as she began to run towards them. Anakin was about to protest till Obi Wan stopped him and said, "very well...may the force be with you." Ahsoka smiled as she caught up with the squad as she teased Sev by saying, "Well if we do find some tinnies down there, bet I'll have a better score than you." Sev jokingly huffed at ahsoka's claim as he responded, "Yeah right, you might be a jedi but you still have a lot to learn." Fixer shook his head as he complained to ahsoka, "You as well ahsoka." Scorch patted him on the back as he jokingly said to Fixer, "What can I say Fixer, it's contagious to compete."

The Deltas and ahsoka left the briefing room as Anakin glared at Obi Wan as he asked, "Is there a reason you decided to grant Ahsoka permission over me?" Obi Wan grew a slight smile as he said, "Relax anakin it's like you said, 'There might not be anything down there.,'" Anakin couldn't help but smile a bit as he said, "Your probably right, plus the Deltas are with her so she's in good hands."

Surface of Raxus Prime

Delta Squad and ahsoka land their shuttle behind some tall mounds of junk as they exited the ship and looked around at their setting to see nothing more than wreckages of ships and vehicles. "Some planet this is Deltas, there's nothing more than junk here," complained ahsoka. "Hey look on the bright side ahsoka, at least the droids will fit right in," joked Scorch. Sev, who was up ahead a bit scouting, chimed in, "More like a graveyard for these clankers if you ask me." Boss opened up a small hologram map showing the last location of the scouts before saying, "Okay Deltas, the scouts were last seen at this location...if we find the exact spot we might find the source of why the Separatists are or were here. Let's move out."

The Deltas and ahsoka continued across the junkyard monitoring their motion detectors for any sudden movements until they came across the position the scouts were in and discovered their bodies. "That's odd, why didn't they dispose of the bodies?" asked Fixer confusingly. "Well Fixer these types of droids aren't the sharpest knife on the block now are they," joked Scorch which made ahsoka make a slight chuckle. Sev looked down and saw some footprints heading north of their position as he yelled out, "Boss over here!" The Deltas headed to his position as they too saw the footprints to which Boss said, "Good work Sev, let's move out squad."

The squad continued on but this was an unfortunate circumstance for them as the planet they was on was very hot and it was making the armor they were wearing a pressure cooker. Scorch then commented on this situation by saying, "Blast, why didn't we use speeders for this mission." "Because Six-Two if the Seps are still on Raxus Prime we can't let them know we are on to them," answered Fixer. Boss stopped the squad before saying to them, "alright squad take a quick break and drink plenty of water we move out in 2 minutes." Everyone was sitting on any junk or rock that was at good enough to sit in with each member drinking their own canister of water. Ahsoka sat a bit far from them and was taking sips of her water till she looked in the distance to see a figure in golden armor watching her on top of a crashed starship. Ahsoka rubbed her eyes and looked again to see nothing there, what or who did she see...she did not know. Boss noticed this as he asked her in concern, "ahsoka, are you okay?" Ahsoka shook her shock off as she instantly replied, "Yeah I'm okay...just the heat getting to me is all."

Boss nodded his head in acknowledgement as he motioned for the squad to move out. The squad continued their journey until they began hearing some strange noises that caused Boss to stop them in their tracks. "What was that?" asked fixer. "Scorch, Sev, scout out ahead and report what you see." They both nodded their head and headed toward the source of the noise until they stopped and beneath their helmets gave a look of surprise as Sev contacted Boss saying, "Boss, you need to get up here." Boss, fixer, and Ahsoka approached their position as they gave the same look too as what they saw was a giant excavation crane and it was pulling a giant circular object. "What the hell is that?" asked Scorch. Ahsoka was really wide eyed at this, she could feel the power of the dark side coursing through that object which she told Boss, "We need to let Master Skywalker and Kenobi know about what's going on here." Boss nodded his head in agreement as he contacted the generals saying, "Generals we found the Separatists and it seems they found what they were looking for." "Understood Boss, were already sending our forces down as we speak," said Anakin in their com channel.

They looked up to see gunships dropping down and dropping off AT-TEs , AT-RTs, and clone troopers as Battle droids would come out of the buildings and start attacking along with their vehicles. Anakin and Obi Wan along with Rex and Cody would exit one of the gunships and join in on the attack cutting down on any droids in their path. Ahsoka and Delta Squad were about to join in on the fray until Ahsoka sensed someone very powerful nearby. She looked over and saw Count Dooku with a droid escort entering a Techno Union ship that contained the sphere like object. "Deltas its Count Dooku, he's trying to escape!" Boss looked over and was surprised to see the count here as he said, "We need to tell the generals." "there's no time!" yelled out Ahsoka as she rushed towards the Techno Union ship. "ahsoka wait! Come on Deltas we need to go help here!" The Deltas chased after her as they entered the Techno Union ship before it started taking off.

The Battle was almost over as Anakin cut down the last droid as he commented, "Well that wasn't to bad." Obi Wan dusted off his armor robe as he commented, "I Don't know Anakin this was a bit to easy it feels like all of this was..." "Ahsoka, Deltas come in, come in Ahsoka...can anyone read me?" Anakin and Obi Wan finally felt the presence that ahsoka felt as they looked up to see the Techno Union ship entering into hyperspace as Obi Wan finished, "A trap."

Inside the Techno Union ship

Count Dooku was walking inside some part of the ship which contained the spherical like object until ahsoka popped out from behind him as she activated her lightsaber as she said to him, "Count dooku, your gonna pay for all the jedi you killed." Dooku turned around towards her as he said to her, "ah Young skywalker's Padawan, it was foolish of you to come alone against a sith lord." She wasn't alone though as Delta Squad popped up from behind her aiming their weapons at him as Boss says to him, "She's not alone and you are under arrest count." Dooku gave a slight smile to this sight, a Padawan and four clones what a treat for his upcoming experiment. "I was personally expecting young Skywalker or Master Kenobi but now you young padawan Tano along with your friends will experience ,my gift to the Republic...it will be interesting to see what it does to a jedi and four clones," said dooku who was distracting them as a bounty hunter approached them from behind as he stunned all four of them with one blast. Dooku and the bounty hunter looked down in their bodies as he told the bounty hunter, "Lock them up with the others, we need them in good condition for our upcoming experiment."

An hour later

"Wake up...wake up little one...there is much work to be done." Ahsoka woke up from her sleep and realized she was on the floor of a cell with the Deltas right next to her. Before Ahsoka would try to wake them up someone spoke to her from behind as the voice said, "I was wondering when you were gonna wake up." Ahsoka turned around to see a big purple man in golden armor sitting on a bunk looking at her. Ahsoka stood up and was reaching for her lightsaber until she realized it wasn't on her belt. "If you are trying to raise your weapon on me then it's hopeless...count Dooku has your weapon along with your friends as well," said the man sarcastically. Ahsoka glared at the man as she demanded with a sneer, "Who are you?" The man looked at Ahsoka as he smiled and said to her, "You already know." Ahsoka looked at him wide eyed as she said barely under her breath, "Thanos."

Thanos stood up and walked towards the plasma cell door as he said to her, "I know you have talked to my daughter, she told you about me and my destiny." Ahsoka stood up in anger as she lashed out, "Destiny!? Your destiny is nothing more than a sociopathic murderer! What kind of man murders his own daughter." Thanos turned towards her as he said, "A man who is willing to do whatever it takes to bring balance to this Galaxy...I know that you won't understand but in time you learn and realize that it is the right thing to do." Before ahsoka could say anything the Deltas began to wake up as ahsoka tended to them and looked up to see Thanos had disappeared. "Guys are you okay?" asked Ahsoka in concern. "Well i got a big headache if that matter much," joked Scorch as he stood up. "Where are we?" asked Fixer as he looked around.

"Your in the brig of this Techno Union ship, I was wondering when you guys were gonna wake up," said a voice coming from another cell. The squad looked over to see a woman locked up in a cell as Sev demanded, "Who are you?" "My name is Bera, I'm the one that helped Count Dooku and his mercenary friend Cydon Prax find what they were looking for at Raxus Prime," answered Bera. "You did what!?" yelled out the squad in anger towards her. "Hey I'm sorry I was only doing this for the money until Cydon Prax put me in this cell," said Bera with her hands raised. "What was that they dug up?" asked Boss. Bera stood up as she answered, "Something called the Harvester, some ancient device that would suck life from any living creature...pretty creepy stuff." Ahsoka looked over at the ship approaching a planet as she asked, "what planet are we heading towards?" "Alaris Prime, some planet that holds a wookiee colony there I think Count Dooku plans on using this harvester on them," answered Bera. The Squad looked at each other in schock as Ahsoka says to them, "Deltas, we need to stop this somehow...once were on the planet we escape and warn the colony before it's to late." The squad and Bera look on as the ship began heading towards the planet knowing now what kind of sinister plot Count Dooku has in mind.
