Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi landed his Interceptor on the planet of Utapau, as he sought to finally
bring an end to General Grievous. The Jedi prepared his clones for a surprise attack,
and after riding a varactyl to the Separatist hangar, Obi-Wan’s battle began, dropping
down to greet Grievous. Engaging the droid general in a duel, the 212th Attack Battalion
emerges to fire at the Droid Army. Whilst Obi-Wan dealt with Grievous, Commander Cody
led the Forces through Separatist defences, picking up Obi-Wan’s falling lightsaber.
But then, after returning Obi-Wan’s lightsaber, the Clone Commander received a transmission
from Coruscant. The hologram of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, recently revealed to be the secret
Sith Lord Darth Sidious, appeared to Execute Order 66. The loyalty that Cody had built
for Obi-Wan and the Jedi had gone, all brainwashed by the activation of a control chip, placed
within all clones at birth. With no hesitation, Cody ordered his men to fire at Obi-Wan, just
like all the other clones across the galaxy were doing to their respective Jedi. Obi-Wan
managed to escape, but the clones the Jedi had trusted were their enemies. But what if
Commander Cody had refused to execute Order 66? How would it affect Obi-Wan? As you are
going to find out, Cody’s refusal will shake the universe…
Commander Cody stood in the centre of the intense battle, when he received a transmission
from the Chancellor. In his office on top of the Republic Executive Building, Palpatine
used an encrypted signal to Execute Order 66. Across the galaxy, clones turned upon
their Jedi generals, but Commander Cody did not. All the hardships he had endured during
the war had such an impact, that his chip had eroded, and he could resist the orders
of the Supreme Chancellor. As the face of Palpatine turned to confusion then anger,
Cody quickly switched off the hologram, evading a certain death. The Clone Commander continued
into the battle, looking for Obi-Wan to tell him the transmission he had received. Cody
found Obi-Wan near one of the chasms of the city atop his varactyl, and Obi-Wan ordered
Cody to take him to the nearby Communications Room. The Jedi master looked for the codes
to any surviving Jedi, and at last found Master Yoda. The Grandmaster was on his way to convene
with Bail Organa, and Obi-Wan asked for the location of Anakin. Yoda looked down gravely
in his hologram, sensing that Anakin had been lost to the dark side and Darth Sidious, as
Obi-Wan struggled to contain a myriad of emotions. He wanted to save Anakin, but he needed the
help of these remaining clones. Entering the battle again, Obi-Wan implored his clone medics
to take any injured clones to the medical bays, whilst he dealt with the droids. Obi-Wan
furiously cut through the Separatist Army, with no time to spare, until the battle fell
silent. Running back to his ship, Obi-Wan flew back to his cruiser and met up with Yoda
and Bail Organa. The arrival of Cody and the 212th is a surprise, and the clone decides
to find out if any other clones had survived. Cody uses numerous lines of communication,
and finally a battered and tired Rex appeared. His fellow clone asks Rex and Ahsoka to go
to Coruscant, as there was still a hope for the Republic, and they were fortunate to be
in the Inner Rim. Obi-Wan and Yoda land just before Ahsoka and Rex, and with the help of
the 212th, begin to retake the Jedi Temple at speed. Reaching the security station, Obi-Wan
is forced to accept the reality that he had lost Anakin, but he could sense him on Coruscant.
Yoda urges him to go and find him, whilst he dealt with Sidious. Obi-Wan took a speeder
bike to Padme’s apartment, feeling the dark side, and saw Padme and Vader on the veranda.
Obi-Wan smoothly landed and found Vader staring at him with hate. Padme steps between the
former master and padawan, but Vader barges her put of the way, igniting his blade. On
the small docking platform, they duelled furiously, their blue blades illuminating the night sky
with each strike. Their fight moved into the apartment and they Force-pushed objects towards
each other, making the room a complete mess. Neither were getting the upper hand, until
another speeder bike landed beside Anakin’s starfighter. Ahsoka was horrified at the sight
of Vader and Obi-Wan duelling, and entered the room. Watching Ahsoka walk in, both combatants
paused their duel, and Vader made a mistake in lowering his blade. Obi-Wan took advantage,
and slashed Anakin’s back, against the cries of Padme and Ahsoka, and Vader fell to the
ground. The padawan and Senator are furious at Obi-Wan, but do not have time to argue,
and Rex arrives to take his General to the medical centre close by. With the help of
medical droids, they watch as Vader’s back begins to heal, however discover that Yoda
had failed to defeat Sidious. Vader’s eyes later opened, and they were still burning
yellow. Tied to a stretcher, he used his power to shake off the bindings, but Cody stunned
him with his blaster, before more damaged could be caused. Whilst the Emperor was alive,
Vader was a threat to Padme and her new children, and the witnesses place Anakin in a carbonite
freezing chamber in the Jedi Temple. One threat had been averted, but a larger one remained.
