Welcome back to the finale of what if Fives Joined the Bad Batch. Thank you to those of
you who watched the first two parts! To recap what happened in those, if you haven’t seen
them, Fives had been rescued by Clone Force 99, Rex and Cody after his involvement in
the assassination attempt on Palpatine. Their efforts had helped to acquit Fives, but Palpatine
had managed to avoid punishment through his political powers. Now he tries to repair his
reputation, as the galaxy become aware of his corruption…
Palpatine turned to his holoprojector, and summoned the representative of the Intergalactic
banking clan in senator Rush Clovis of Scipio. The senator had been expecting Dooku, in light
of the events surrounding Palpatine, but he found himself being lifted into the air, as
the Sith Lord ordered him to give him the files to expose the Banking clan. Clovis knew
that running was not an option, and infiltrated the core of the vault to grab the files, but
as he did so, he found Dooku standing in his path. The apprentice instructed him to not
take the files, as they would only serve to help Palpatine, and spread lies across the
Senate, and Clovis is unsure of what to do. The senator desperately ran to his office
and sent a transmission to senator Amidala on Coruscant, asking for her help, before
going to a nearby cave in his speeder, hoping to evade Dooku. In Padme’s office, the senator
had received the pleas of Clovis, and immediately, she ran to the Jedi Council, who calculated
that Dooku was challenging his master for Sith supremacy. The Jedi were aware that if
they did not stop Palpatine first, he would place the blame of the clone army, on the
corrupt funding of the Banking Clan, and an elite group of Jedi Council members entered
his office to confront him. The Chancellor had been preparing to enter his ship and confront
his traitorous apprentice, but found the lightsaber of Mace Windu, alongside several others, pointing
in his direction. Palpatine ignited his lightsabers, and revealed his true identity that the Jedi
had long suspected, but his powers still sent them back into the Dwartii statues, allowing
him to run to his secret hangar. The Jedi recover to intercept his escape, and along
with chip free clone troopers, they surround his ship, and fired. Palpatine leapt from
the explosion, and unleashed a huge lightning attack, bathing the normally darkened hangar
in a bright haze, but Clone Force 99 had been on the roof, and Crosshair scoped the Chancellor.
From above wrecker used his detonators and projected them onto the ground, where Palpatine
had been caught off guard, finding his leg leaking Sith energy. Anakin cuffed his corrupt
former friend, as Palpatine pleaded that Dooku was the one they should be taking to justice,
but it fell on deaf ears. As the Sith Lord was watched over by several Jedi, the Council
had one more task to take care of, and tracked Clovis’ signal to the planet of Scipio.
A separatist blockade obstructed their path, and Anakin punched a hole through the ships
in his starfighter, and skidded to the ground. Despite his hate for Clovis, he had a duty
to the Jedi, and with the 501st Legion and Clone Force 99, they rescued Clovis from his
hidden position, then saw Dooku hovering above them with the remainder of the Separatist
forces led by Grievous. Obi-Wan orders the Republic to move into the mountains, and on
even terrain, Anakin begins to use his hate on Dooku. The Sith had been on the receiving
end of Anakin’s improved duelling ability throughout the war, but he was not prepared
for a combination of attacks, that sent him into the abyss beneath him and to his death.
Beside him, Anakin’s master had been tackling Grievous, but found himself distracted by
the droids. From another hilltop, Crosshair perfectly collapsed the ground beneath Grievous,
and in the ensuing battle, Obi-Wan was able to prise open Grievous’ chest in puncture
it with his blade. All of the Jedi returned to Coruscant with their clones, and work slowly
begun on eliminating all of the corruption that Palpatine had previously weaved through
the senate, starting with the questionable finances. After another trial, Palpatine was
removed from office, and his connection to the Force had been removed, leaving him to
spend his remaining days as a scholar on his home planet of Naboo, despite calls for him
to be executed. In the military base on Coruscant, Rex and Cody saluted Clone Force 99 and Fives,
who had proved himself worthy to join their squad, and they left in their separate directions.
The mismatched group continued their work in getting rid of any remaining pockets of
Separatists, and occasionally tackling crime, leaving their more esteemed clones to take
the glory, and continuing their duty to the New Republic. The Jedi kept the clone army,
in the event another war broke out, but Anakin did not fail to recognise the efforts of Clone
Force 99, promoting them all to Clone Marshall Commanders, and the memory of the clone trooper
99 would never be forgotten. That is it for what if Fives Joined the Bad
Batch. If you enjoyed this what if, please like this video, turn on your notification
