Entering the hold, the lead warrior battles his way past Boba Fett. He kicks Fett's twin blasters out of the hunter's hands, and sends the teen sprawling with a well placed kick. Fett tumbles over the cargo box, knocking it over. He is surprised when its contents spill out -- it is a young Kage girl, Pluma. Fett instinctively tries to protect her, but Pluma slaps the young hunter, and runs to the warrior's side.
Pluma is reunited with her brother, Krismo, the lead warrior. Krismo was attempting to rescue the captive Pluma. The cargo doors open, and Asajj struts in. "Well, well, well," she says, "what do we have here?"
The girl is worth a lot of money to the hunters. Asajj ignites her lightsabers and orders Krismo to stand aside. He sets off a smoke grenade, and under cover from the obscuring clouds, he attacks Ventress. After hand-to-hand combat, Asajj knocks Krismo down. She shackles Krismo so the hunters can continue their mission.
Pluma pleads for mercy from Asajj and Boba. "Is this really necessary?" she asks. "None of this was my choice. I never asked to be ripped away from my family. You'll never know what it's like." These words stir deeply in Asajj and she reconsiders her assignment.
The tram arrives at Otua Blank's stronghold. The loathsome warlord takes delivery of the cargo from Asajj. He is eager to meet his new bride. Asajj accepts the bounty, and departs aboard the subtram as Blank opens the cargo. Inside is a bound and gagged Boba Fett!
Aboard the tram, Asajj sets Krismo and Pluma free in exchange for a sizable ransom from the Kage. She then returns to the orbital station, where the other hunters have reunited. Ventress hands over their shares of the bounty -- Fett's included -- and lets them know that Boba will be on his way.
Asajj parts ways with the bounty hunters. "I'm not part of any team," she tells them. "Once I was just like you, but I'm not that person anymore. Now, I have a future."
