Obi-Wan and his team arrive at the airfield, but are surrounded by alerted battle droids. A battle erupts, and heavy laser cannons pin the intruders behind storage containers on the airfield.

Just then, Anakin and his team arrive, charging the airfield with blasters blazing and lightsabers swinging. The battle is joined.

In addition to the droid forces and heavy turrets, the Separatists pour on the firepower with battle droid reinforcements riding STAPs.

ARC Trooper Echo spots one of the commando droids manning the turrets lining up a shot on the escape shuttle. Echo charges the turret, but it's too late. The droid shoots the shuttle, and Echo is caught in the blast. Only Echo's charred helmet survives the explosion.

With their only means of escape destroyed, Obi-Wan and Anakin contact the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, requesting extraction. The Council agrees to send in cruisers to fly through the fortified blockades protecting Lola Sayu.

While they await rescue, the Jedi and the surviving clones seek refuge in the hellish caverns beneath the Citadel.
