Anakin falls to his knees, Ashoka gasps and Rex's eyes widen.
"That's…. Kinda hard to believe, but I guess you must be telling the truth. I sense no deception coming from you." Anakin sighs.
"Which is why I am here. I hoped I could stop you from turning to the Dark Side, and prevent the Empire from gaining power." Luke says holding out his robotic arm for his father.
Anakin takes it and stand up. "So, how'd you gain your hardware? I got mine after a fight with Count Dooku." He says showing his robotic arm.
"I uh… Well I got it after a fight with Darth Vader. Luke shrugs.
Just as Anakin was about to keep asking questions, the intercom buzzes. "We got Separatist ships dropping out of Hyperspace, they're cutting us off from the fleet!"
"Man the guns." Luke says to Anakin. "Han, set course for Hoth."
Luke and Anakin rush to where the gun seats are, and they start firing on the vulture droids who are descending onto the Falcon. The Falcon lunges forward trying to get to an open place to jump to Hyperspace. Han sees a gap in between the Separatist's ships and decides that's the best route.
"Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Han says as he flies towards the ships. Just as it looks like they're gonna make it a stray shot hits their engine.
"Blast. We're hit. I gotta put her down!" Han navigates to a small, uninhabited planet that his sensors indicate is survivable. As the Falcon enters the atmosphere they get hit again, losing even more stability.
"At least the heat shields are working." Han grumbles as the heat shields prevent them from burning up as they are now basically falling to the planet surface.
"Strap in. We're gonna crash. All engines are nonoperational." Han says into the intercom as he sees the surface coming up quickly. "Chewie, deploy air flaps and the air brakes." Chewie roars and hits the buttons. As the flaps and air brakes engage the Falcon starts to slow down before impact. Unfortunately, at that speed the flaps don't last long and they rip off the Falcon, still over 30 miles over the planet surface and the Falcon begins picking speed back up.
Ashoka frowns and closes her eyes and concentrates as she stretches her hand out. Han looks at his dashboard confused as the Falcon starts slowing down right before impact with the surface. Han lowers the landing gear and except for some sliding on the gear once they touched down, it was a fairly smooth landing.
"Huh…." Han says, a bit confused but grateful.
Anakin, Ashoka, Luke and Rex leave the Falcon as a Separatist transport lands about 100 feet away.
"Han, Chewie, see about getting the Falcon back in the air. We'll deal with this." Luke says igniting his lightsaber. Three figures step out of the transport. Anakin and Ashoka recognize them instantly. Count Dooku, General Greivous, and Assaj Ventress.
"Kill Skywalker and his Padawan… I will take care of the newcomer." Dooku says as all three ignite their lightsabers. Anakin and Ashoka ignite their lightsabers.
"Rex, we'll hold them off. Go help fix the ship for a hasty retreat." Anakin orders.
"Copy that general." Rex runs back to the ship to help. The jedi and sith converge in the middle. Ventress fighting Ashoka, Greivous fighting Anakin, and Count Dooku fighting Luke.
"Master Skywalker, your lightsaber will be an excellent addition to my collection." General Greivous says as his top arms start to spin the two lightsabers they're holding in circles as he approaches Anakin.
"Not today!" Anakin says as he force pushes Greivous back and responds with a flurry of lightsaber strikes of his own.
"Padawan Tano is it? You're a fool to stand in our way." Ventress hisses at Ashoka as Ventress jumps and spins with her lightsabers over Ashoka, hoping to get her from above but Ashoka manages to roll out of the way just in time and respond by leaping back towards Ventress and swing her lightsabers down as she lands, Ventress barely blocking in time.
"Count Dooku. I've heard about you. I must say, you're much uglier than how Obi-Wan said when recounting the battles between the two of you." Luke smirks as he tries to do a sideswipe with his lightsaber but Dooku easily blocks it.
"Mock all you want; the outcome won't change. You'll be leaving here with me." Dooku shoots lightning at Luke but Luke deflects it with his lightsaber just in time.
"Ah, so I'm your target. Interesting. Darth Sidious send you?" Luke outstretches his hand, sending sand and rocks towards Dooku. Dooku extends his hand out as well, the wall of sand and rocks move around him as he creates a force shield to redirect the sand and stone around him.
"Ah so you know of my master. I'm sure he'll be very interested in the news." Dooku smirks. It was at this time the three jedi see what has been going on. As the battle rages on, Greivous and Ventress are moving their battle partners away from the center, far away from Luke.
Dooku hits a button on his wrist and two droids carrying elctrostaffs jump off a nearby cliff and land behind Luke. The droids swing at Luke and Luke blocks with his lightsaber, leaving him open for Dooku to hit him with his force lightning. As Luke redirects his lightsaber to try to stop Dooku, the droids hit him in the back with their staffs. Luke gives a scream right before the world goes black.
Anakin fights and catches a glimpse of Luke being lifted by the force and brought to the Separatist transport.
"NO!" Anakin says as he force pushes Greivous as hard as he can. Greivous gets launched multiple feet back as the transport takes off. Dooku force lifts Greivous to the transport and Ventress kicks Ashoka right before jumping aboard the transport and it takes off as Anakin and Ashoka watch helplessly from the surface.
As they watch Clone transports arrive to pick them up and assist.
