Welcome back to part number 2 of what if Fives Joined the Bad Batch. Thank you to those of you
who watched the first part! To recap what happened in the first part, if you haven’t seen it,
Fives had been imprisoned for his role in the supposed assassination attempt of Palpatine,
but Rex and Cody had enlisted the help of Clone Force 99 to break Fives out. The Jedi
of Obi-Wan and Anakin have caught up with the fugitives, and now the clones have to
figure a way to obtain the biochips of Tup and Fives, for it is their only path to survival…
Fives instinctively turned to Anakin, as he had heard about his visit to the Chancellor’s office
from one of the cell guards, but to his dismay, Anakin had not seen anything resembling the
inhibitor chip in or around the office. Fives knew that Palpatine was intelligent enough to
have dispensed with the evidence, as Obi-Wan reported that the Chancellor had told the Council,
that the difference in the chips was a parasite native to Ringo Vinda.
Fives requested Anakin to conduct a search of the Chancellor for the biochips, but Obi-Wan had
also been informed that the chips had been sent back to Kamino. The Jedi guide the clones to the
docking area close by, and with permission from the Jedi Council, they take a Republic gunship,
joined by Jedi Council member Shaak Ti, who was intrigued by the truth behind the clone army.
As they approach the planet, they find a group of Kaminoans awaiting their arrival, and Obi-Wan had
a bad feeling about what was about to occur. The prime minister Lama Su leads them inside,
confused as to the nature of their visit, and looked suspiciously at the disguised Fives. Anakin
is quick to ask for the inhibitor chips, but as they had expected, the chips had been destroyed
after they had been examined by the Chancellor. The Jedi are about to turn back to Coruscant,
when Fives spots a passing droid, providing him with a brainwave. Master Ti is able to distract
the hosting Kaminoans for long enough, to allow the clones and the Jedi to act on the idea of
Fives, who guides them to the medical bay where his chip had been removed. There he finds the
medical droid AZI-3, and it is able to provide the real analysis of the chips that Palpatine had
tried to cover. Now Anakin was growing concerned about the minds of the clones, and in the core of
the cloning complex, Fives points to where the chips were being implemented inside of the new
clones. Suddenly, Master Ti ran into the room, and alarms began to go off, as the Kaminoans had been
alerted to the presence of Fives, and the clones were chasing them. Tech uses his data of the area
to find a shortcut through a cramped alley, and they rose to the surface in a turbolift,
but faced the hooded figure of Count Dooku, armed with his Magnaguards. Clone Force 99 hide behind a
stack of supply crates to take out the droids, as Anakin and Obi-Wan face the Sith apprentice. Dooku
pointed his lightsaber at the Jedi, mockingly congratulating them for unravelling the truth
of the clone army, but that they had been too late, as Sidious had full control over the Jedi.
Commanding his Magnaguards to attack, Crosshair perfectly takes out the droids, and they begin to
move in for the Separatist leader, but to their surprise, he acrobatically leapt backwards onto
his ship, and threw the supposedly destroyed chips in front of them, remarking that they would soon
all be dead. The Jedi look in annoyance as Dooku had gotten away again, but Anakin had finally
realised that the Fives had been right about the Chancellor. Evading the pursuing Kaminoan security
force, the Jedi return to Coruscant equipped with everything they need to acquit Fives, and
they bring him to a military tribunal. As Tarkin conducted the case on behalf of Palpatine, Padme
made the case of the clone trooper, presenting evidence that the Chancellor had attacked Fives,
and he had been responsible for the death of Master Tiplar through Tup. But from
his seat, Palpatine rose and as he was effectively the senate, he could not be removed from power
without a vote of no confidence, and the Tribunal has to release them both. Outside of the court,
Palpatine quickly heads off to the senate building, and in front of the other senator,
he casts doubts over the ability of the Jedi to protect him and the galaxy, but he had been too
late, as senator Amidala had spread the word on Palpatine’s betrayal, and there was outrage from
across the arena calling from him to be removed from office. The Sith Lord entered his office,
disgusted that his plans for the clone army had failed, as the chips were being removed at an
immense speed from all of the clone troopers, and Anakin seemed to be distant. Beside him, he
instructed Mas Amedda to turn to their secondary plan of action, and for a devious senator to be
lured into his position of public hatred. That is it for part 2 what if Fives Joined
