Interior: Starhawk, hangar.

With over a dozen clone and non-clone pilots, Silas, Kal, Anakin and Plo seated and waiting for their briefing, Admiral Dodonna informed, "This strike force is to hunt down the CIS's new battleship; The Malevolence.
General Starkiller and Padawan Ahsoka have prepared our attack strategy."

With Ahsoka next to him, Starkiller brought up a hologram of the Malevolence, "While the size of our capital ships leave them vulnerable to the enemy's attack from lack of maneuverability, our fighters and bombers can outmanoeuvre their ion weapons.
Our primary targets will be their essential systems, weapons, the bridge, and General Grievous."

Hal nudged a pilot sitting next to him and quietly said, "The head clanker. The General's getting pretty ambitious."

Ahsoka chimed in, "Our bombers will attack at high speed to evade and attack the enemy's ion weapons," and pointed to several points on the hologram, "If we disable these systems on the ship, General Grievous will fall with it."
Versio asked, "Permission to take point on destroying the shield generator, Ahsoka?"
"Granted, Iden."

Enthusiastic, Hal said, "Just tell us where that clanker is, sir."
Del added, "We've been waiting for a chance to take him out."
"Let's hope it's the real one onboard, this time." commented Juno.

Ahsoka informed, "Once we've incapacitated the enemy ship's weapons, our cruisers will be clear to move in.
When they arrive, we'll be sending boarding parties to storm the ship and make sure we finish the job on both fronts." earning looks of approval from the troops.

Tano continued, "Skyguy, Kal, Silas and Master Plo will escort the boarding parties to the enemy ship.
When the initial boarding party secures the hangar, the others will be free to land.
From there, the boarding party squad leaders will tell their units their objectives."
Starkiller finished, "When the boarding parties are aboard, Sergeants Skirata and Silas, and Generals Plo and Skywalker will personally join you," earning enthusiastic smiles, "and may the Force be with you." before the pilots scrambled.

Master Plo observed, "This is an aggressive plan."
"That's the idea, Gandalf," replied Starkiller who turned to Silas, "Thoughts on the plan, Ba'vodu?"
"This is going to be fun, are you boarding too?"
"Maybe."

Skirata turned to Carth, "Lt Onasi, what are your thoughts on the plan? You think we can pull it off?"
Carth answered, "We have a pretty solid chance.
I've been flying with the Telosian Navy for several years and always completed my missions with peak efficiency and minimal casualties."

Iden nodded in agreement, "We've got this, Sergeant Skirata."
"You're confident, Commander. That's good.
But minimal casualties can make the difference."
"Understood, Sir."
"And don't call me that, it makes me feel old."

As the Mandalorian Jedi went over to an officer, Plo mused, "Galen inspires great confidence in his men."
"He leads by example." stated Tano.
"It's interesting that he let you help him plan the offensive, instead of Skywalker."
"He thought I'd provide a fresh perspective.
It was a good chance for me to get some first-hand experience with strategizing, and have my ideas actually included.
Not just being told they'll be considered, then ignored completely.
Plus, he took the lead so Anakin couldn't do anything reckless."

"What?" gasped Anakin, "And why's that?"
"He had a vision about you getting yourself, me, Plo and all of Shadow Squadron killed on this mission."

"How?"
"Half the squadron were caught in the ion cannon's blast after going through the Balmorra run which messed with the sensors.
You, showboating, went straight for the bridge, despite literally everyone else being shot down at point blank, as you were flying right on top of all their turrets.
Not bothering to disable the shields or anything first.
And ignoring my urging you to change the plan."

"Anything else?"
"You made me your gunner which guaranteed my death in the vision."
Silas chimed in, "Anakin, any and all pilots with Jetii reflexes belong in the cockpit, not in the gunner's position."

As he returned, Starkiller grimly informed, "Sith's blood! That hut'uun'e just attacked one of our medical convoys, near Ryndellia.
That's not far from Naboo, and our medical base."
Ahsoka's eyes widened, "Just like in your vision."

Anakin tensed, "How the hell did they find out about our *secret* medical base?
Only the Council, Kaminoans, and the Chancellor knew its coordinates."
Skirata clenched a fist, "After the argument with the hut'uunla Chancellor, he probably leaked it as a way to get even.
Kriffing aruetii."

Starkiller pressed his comlink, "Commander Sato, I need you to contact our medical station in the Naboo sector, to warn them of an impending attack by the Malevolence.
They'll need support, so contact Naboo as well as the fleet closest to it.
And contact Skull Squadron, they're in the Naboo system at the moment, so they can respond quickly."
Sato acknowledged, "Yes, General."

Later.
Exterior: space, Naboo system, medical base.

Having come out of hyperspace, several fighter and bomber squadrons checked in and formed up on their squadron leaders.

Rogue squadron formed up on the Rogue Shadow as Starkiller said, via comms, "May the Force be with us."
Via comms, Ahsoka, in her Jedi starfighter, endeared, "Alright, kids, do our aliit proud."
A pilot from the 104th, via comms, called, "For the Wolfpack!"
With their personal squadrons, Rau, Silas and Kal, via comms, called out, "For Mandalore!"

As the battle ensued, Starkiller, Plo, Iden, Anakin, Rau, Silas, Kal, Carth and Ahsoka each led a squadron going for their assigned targets.

By some miracle, Skywalker actually followed the plan to the letter, instead of showboating and improvising at the last minute, allowing things to go smoothly.

When phase 1 was complete, Starkiller, Kenobi, Koon and Skywalker's fleets came out of hyperspace to begin phase 2.

Later.
Interior: Malevolence, main hangar.

After securing the hangar and making sure the whole boarding party was present and accounted for, Starkiller, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Plo, Kal, Silas, Iden, Cody, Hunter, Gregor, Wolffe, Fordo and Rex gave their squads their targets.

"Tech, hack into the Seppie comms so we can monitor their movements." ordered Hunter.
The genius clone adjusted his goggles, "Already done, and I've covertly downloaded the interior schematics for us."
Confused, Wrecker asked, "Huh?"
"We have a map of the ship so we don't get lost.
Additionally, I've hacked their cameras and scanners so they won't be able to see us."

Interior: Malevolence, hyperdrive room.

Infiltrating the area, accompanied by Fordo, Rex, Ahsoka, the HKs, and a handful of Null-ARCs, Starkiller ordered, "Set explosive charges on the generators."
"With pleasure, General," obliged a trooper.

Interior: Malevolence, surveillance and communications room.

Taking care of a small group of droids alongside Hunter, Crosshair and Wrecker, Anakin, R2 and Tech arranged a few surprises for the clankers, and disabled the alarm systems.

Interior: Malevolence, engine room.

Obi-Wan, Cody, Gregor and Foxtrot group planted several charges after destroying several battle droids.

Interior: Malevolence, droid maintenance and recharge station.

Accompanied by Inferno squad, Plo, Wolffe, Comet, Boost and Sinker destroyed a small battalion of inactive clankers.

Interior: Malevolence, detention block.

Opening each of the cells to find several prisoners, civilians and soldiers alike, Fenn Rau, Silas and a dozen Mandos freed them all.

One of the civilian prisoners panicked, "Oh, skrag! They're Mandalorians!"
"Easy, friend, it's ok," assured Silas, "we're here to help you."

Interior: Malevolence, rail-jet station.

Kal, his personal squad of Mandos, and a few Nulls used explosives they found lying around the armoury to destroy several trains transporting entire platoons of battle droids, along with the bridges.

Soon thereafter.
Interior: Malevolence, observation deck.

Stepping onto the main platform to see Grievous with 6 N-K Necrosis droids acting as his bodyguards facing the viewport, Ahsoka ignited her green blade while the squad kept back.

Turning to them, Grievous looked at Tano, "The Council must be running out of Jedi if they, in all their wisdom, send a child to face me.
I've killed a great many Jedi, and you will fall just like them.
Your lightsaber will become yet another trophy in my collection."
Ahsoka scoffed, "Big talk from the one who needs four arms and spinning hands to hold his own,"

Annoyed by her lack of fear, Grievous taunted, "You're out of your league. You have no chance of survival against me.
But if you surrender and pledge yourself to me, I will let you live as either my slave or my pet.
Even though you're not a Twi'lek, it should be easy for you.
After all, you'll already be accustomed to addressing superiors as "Master,"."
Disgusted and seething with anger, Tano bared her fangs and readied her Shien stance, "That's never happening, creeper!"

"Then I will kill you slowly, Jedi." Grievous menacingly vowed, "you will feel every single cut."
"You've forgotten something, Captain Clanker,"
"And what is that, puny Jedi whelp?" mockingly asked Grievous.

Taking a deep breath, Tano calmly answered, "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me." and mentioned, "Also, I know you don't fear me, but I know someone you do."
"Foolish child, I fear no-one." boasted Grievous.

As he turned off his stealth belt, appearing next to Ahsoka, Starkiller asked, "Remember me?"
"Kriff!" panicked the cyborg who stepped back and pressed a button before several destroyer droids, EG-5s, and even more N-K Necrosis appeared.

"Commentary: a piece of junk like you cannot defeat the Master," boasted HK-47 before a feedback pulse, courtesy of Tech and R2, short-circuited every enemy clanker on the ship, "Advisement: you should surrender, canned meatbag."

Leaping out the window, Grievous landed on his starfighter which was waiting for him, and jumped to hyperspace.

Turning to her boyfriend, Tano asked, "Does he always run away like that?"
"More or less. Are you ok?"
Ahsoka sighed, "Just a bit creeped out.
He's the second bastard to talk to me like that while calling me a pet, in the last three days."
"His primary weapons are intimidation, theatrics, mind games, and insults.
He knew you weren't scared of him, so he tried pissing you off instead."
"I was getting pissed off and angry, but I kept a clear head.
He wanted me to be reckless and impulsive, but I refused to give him the satisfaction."

"He was trying to bait you into rushing him head-on and falling into his trap.
You were wise enough not to." stated Galen who pointed to something on the ceiling a few metres ahead of them.
"An electro-net?" asked Tano, "why the hell does-
On second thought, I don't care, let's get outta here before the ship blows up."
"Agreed."

Later.
Interior: Coruscant, Jedi temple, council chambers.

Upon hearing the full report, Kit asked, "Are you feeling alright, Ahsoka?"
"I think so, but I was a bit freaked out that someone like Grievous would even be thinking of me like that." answered Ahsoka, "and his comment about Twi'leks was as below the belt as Obi-Wan's lightsaber cutting off Maul's legs."

Adi Gallia changed the subject, "Someone also needs to speak to the Chancellor regarding his appalling treatment towards Ahsoka."
Mace nodded, "I'll go, and take Plo with me."
