Star Wars: The Clone Wars Page #4

- Of course, you did miss one.

- I did that on purpose.

- I sense our kidnapped Hutt is in here.

- I smell him, too.

He's a lot younger than I thought he'd be.

Oh, he's just a baby.

This will make our job a lot easier.

Oh, he's so cute.

Just wait until you see

what he'll grow into.

I know, R4. I want to get out of here, too.

O great Jabba the Hutt,

I have news of your son.

I have discovered it is the Jedi

who have kidnapped him.

How have you come by this information?

I have my ways. More importantly,

mighty Jabba, I bring a warning.

The Jedi are planning to destroy you.

The most wise Jabba demands proof.

And he shall have it.

- No sign of any more droids, Captain.

- All right, Sergeant.

General Skywalker, the castle is secure,

and it's nearly midday.

Thanks, Rex. We've got Jabba's son.

Any sign of General Kenobi yet?

No, sir.

Master, my Jedi training didn't prepare me

for this. What are we gonna do?

Well, since you think that smelly larva

is cute, you're gonna carry it.

Commander, tell Admiral Yularen

to get underway.

- We need to reinforce Anakin.

- Right away, sir.

How do you like your little buddy now?

Still cute?

You know, he's reminding me

of you more and more.

See? You're two of a kind.

Maybe you should carry both of us then.

Master, I think this little guy is sick.

He's burning up with a fever.

You're right. We've got to get him back

to the ship immediately.

Trooper! Get me a backpack!

Will you just let me do it?

I hate Hutts.

My lord,

I have the recording you requested.

Transmit it at once Your new objective

is to recover the Hutt.

And deliver him to Jabba unharmed?

Precisely Do not fail me.

Will you just let me do it?

I hate Hutts.

As you can see, it is the Jedi who have

your son and are plotting against you.

My droid army

has already initiated a rescue.

Rest assured, mighty Jabba,

your son will be saved.

Mighty Jabba wishes to know

what you ask in return.

Perhaps you would consider joining

our struggle against the Republic.

OBl-WAN Anakin,

did you locate Jabba's son?

We have him, but it looks like

the Separatists are behind his abduction.

This smells like Count Dooku to me.

I think it's little Stinky you smell.

I'll bet Dooku is using us

to get Jabba to join the Separatists.

Master Kenobi, we have another problem.

This Huttlet is very sick.

I'm not sure we can get him back

to Tatooine alive, Master.

This whole rescue may backfire on us.

I still don't think dealing

with the Hutts is a good idea.

Anakin, you know they control

shipping routes in the Outer Rim.

Jabba's cooperation is crucial

to the war effort.

If you let anything happen to his son...

...our chances of a treaty

with him will disappear.

Master? We've got trouble!

Defensive positions!

- Anakin?

- I'll have to call you back, Master.

We're under attack. We could use

a little help here if you have the time.

I'll get there as soon as I can

Protect the Hutt, Anakin.

We've got spiders inbound!

Get inside!

Fall back!

Fall back! Fall back!

Mistress, the Jedi have barricaded

themselves inside the main vault.

They have nowhere to run.

Captain, we'll stay here until General

Kenobi arrives with reinforcements.

- What?

- Master...

...do you honestly think

we can hold them off?

We've got to find a way out of here.

Our mandate is to protect this Hutt...

...and that's what

we're going to do, Ahsoka.

Our mandate was to get this Hutt

back to Tatooine...

- And time is running out.

- I suppose you have a plan.

Yes, or I think so, R2 willing.

All right, Snips. I'll trust you on this one.

Captain, hold them here

as long as you can.

Will do, sir. You heard the General!

Get ready to turn those clankers

into scrap metal!

If there's a way out of here,

Artooie will find it.

Make it quick.

Finally asleep, huh? Put him down.

Get some rest yourself.

It's been a long day for you, little one.

I can hold him, Master. I'm not tired.

Okay, suit yourself. I don't see why

you won't just listen to me.

I do listen to you, Master.

I just don't like

being treated like a youngling.

You must have patience.

What are you trying to prove anyway?

That I'm not too young

to be your Padawan.

Ahsoka, a very wise Jedi once said,

"Nothing happens by accident. "

It is the will of the Force

that you are at my side.

I just want to keep you there in one piece.

- The red one?

- No.

- The blue one?

- No, not that one.

That'll work.

They've cut the lock!

Here they come!

Hold the line!

Second wave! Second wave!

Watch your left!

That sounded bad.

A backdoor landing platform!

We'll call for a gunship when we get there.

Lead the way, R2.

Ahsoka, wait. Where's Stinky?

- You told me to put him down!

- Find him!

Come outta there, you grubby little slug.

Take care of what's left of the clones.

I'll go after Skywalker.

Roger, roger.

Seal the main gate and all portals.

Let nothing escape this castle.

Yes, Mistress.

Where is Skywalker?

I don't talk to Separatist scum.

You will contact Skywalker now.

I will contact Skywalker now.

Let's see you get away this time.

- Anakin, come in

- "Anakin"?

- We've held the droids, sir

- That's not like Rex.

- What is your location?

- Ventress.

Dooku's assassin?

She's here to kill the Hutt. Come on.

Mistress, I must inform you that

Republic reinforcements have arrived.

- We must hurry.

- Roger, roger.

Skywalker is in trouble.

You know the drill.

Copy that, sir.

The Jedi warships have arrived.

You must hold them off until I finish

my mission Do you understand?

Yes, sir. I mean, ma'am, sir.

Launch all fighters!

Skywalker to Obi-Wan.

Mark my position.

I need a medical ship immediately.

- Do you copy?

- Anakin, do you read me?

Anakin.

Come in!

They're jamming our transmissions.

I hope Anakin is having an easier time

than we are.

I can't get ahold of Obi-Wan.

I'll see if I can find Captain Rex.

ANAKIN Come in, Rex Do you copy?

Rex?

- Did you hear that?

- It came from the prisoners.

Let me show you

how it works, clanker.

Do you copy?

Captain Rex, respond.

I read you, General.

We're pinned down in the courtyard.

Do you need help?

I'll take that as a yes, Captain. Stand by,

we're on our way. Skywalker, out.

Master, Stinky is really sick.

He's turning every shade of green

except the one he's supposed to be!

Our mission was to

get him back to Tatooine alive.

Obi-Wan will get here eventually.

Right now, we need Rex

to help us find a ship.

Great. Rolling death balls.

R2, the door!

- I think now's a good time for a retreat.

- "Retreat"? That's a new word for you.

Maybe into the jungle.

Wait, I remember the jungle

was a bad place.

So much for going that way.

We can't hold out much longer, sir!

Where's General Skywalker?

He'll be here.

Looks like we're out of options.

No, not now, Stinky.

Master! Another landing platform!

- With a ship on it.

- Nice work, Stinky.

- So, how are we gonna get over there?
