As Savage is hunched over in pain, Asajj Ventress appears. Dooku orders Savage to kill her. Ventress touches Savage's forehead, recalling the memory of his allegiance to her. Together, Savage and Ventress attack Dooku.

Anakin tracks Savage's ship to the Separatist frigate. They enter the ship's hangar and begin their hunt for Savage.

Ventress and Savage aggressively assail Dooku. Savage wins a brief advantage by disarming Dooku of his lightsaber, but is quickly repelled by Dooku's Force lightning. Asajj attacks Dooku, commanding Savage to rejoin the fight. Savage tries time and again to attack Dooku, but cannot repel his lightning attacks.

Savage finally finds his strength and attacks both Asajj and Dooku with a Force choke, hurling them against a wall. The three battle each other until Dooku escapes down a hatch, followed by Asajj. Savage is too big to follow.

Anakin and Obi-Wan have found Savage and engage him. On the lower decks, Asajj pursues Dooku and attacks him with her lightsabers. Dooku is able to deflect her assault and disarm her -- she is vulnerable. Using the Force to deflect a lightsaber blow by Dooku, Asajj retrieves her lightsabers and drops into an escape pod, jettisoning toward Toydaria below.

Savage is engaged in a heated lightsaber battle with Anakin and Obi-Wan in the frigate hangar. Dooku radios the commanding battle droid to destroy Savage Opress -- he is a traitor. The droids open fire on Savage, who uses a Force pulse to repel their attack. He breaks for his shuttle and escapes out of the hangar. Anakin and Obi-Wan board the Toydarian ship and flee.

Savage, injured, limps toward the Nightsister's lair on Dathomir. He finds Mother Talzin and reports of Ventress's betrayal. He fears he is not powerful enough to defeat Ventress and the Jedi.

Talzin informs Savage that he has an exiled brother living in the Outer Rim who can teach him how to become more powerful. She gives him a magic talisman to find him. In the glowing orb on the witch's table, the unmistakable visage of Darth Maul peers out.
