Clone Wars characters watch The Siege of Mandalore

Old friends not forgotten [2/2]

   [Republic ships approach Mandalore; in a canon boat are, among others, Ahsoka, Bo Katan, and newly promoted Commander Rex]

Satine sighed at the sight of Mandalore being invaded.

   PILOT: Commander, I have Prime Minister Almec of Mandalore on the comm.

At that Satine froze. "Almec? He should be in prison right now!" Obi-Wan gave her a worried glance.

   REX: Put him through.

   ALMEC: [through a hologram] What is the meaning of this  invasion? The Republic presence here is a direct violation of our  treaty.

At the sight of the traitor in armor, Satine's heart sank.

   BO-KATAN: Your time has come, Almec. We know you're Maul's puppet, and we are coming for him.

   ALMEC: Ah-ha! Mistress Bo-Katan, the traitor. I should have  known you were behind this incursion. Siding with the Republic will make  you an enemy in the eyes of the people.

   BO-KATAN: I'm fine with that.

"She knows what she wants, that is for certain," Obi-Wan noted  and Satine nodded. Slowly she was coming on board with this plan.  Although she didn't like it, she was beginning to realize that in this  case they had to fight to ensure her peoples safety.

   [the hologram disconnects]

   AHSOKA: You're nothing like your sister.

Satine huffed. "Obviously..:"

   IN THE THRONE ROOM OF MANDALORE:

   [Maul's troops in their red/black armor is present]

   ALMEC: Saxon, prepare our forces for an all-out attack. Rook, inform the syndicate of the invasion.

   SAXON: It's been a while since we had a fight like this. Are you ready?

Satine's fists clenched and Windu noted: "From the look of  things, Maul is really leading these warriors." Obi-Wan nodded. He  immediately recognized the colors of their armor. "Either that, or this  is a very elaborate scheme."

   IN THE CANON BOAT:

   BO-KATAN: [to a Mandalorian in a hologram] Ursa, can you confirm the target's location?

   URSA: I can only confirm that Maul has not left the city. All  other attempts to locate him have been blocked. Saxon is already  scrambling his defenses.

   [the ship goes through turbulence as they are being shot at]

   PILOT: We've got incoming!

   [the Pilot ditched and shots and the canon boat door opens;  Rex and Ahsoka see the canon boat next to them go up in flames; the  Mandalorians jump out of the boat with their jet packs]

   BO-KATAN: What are you waiting for? Get out there! [she and two other Mandalorians jump out]

   REX: Sorry, I didn't think to bring you a jetpack.

   AHSOKA: Don't need one. Race you to the surface. [jumps out]

Anakin smiled and nudged Ahsoka in the shoulder. Obi-Wan rolled his eyes. "She is really taking after you."

   [Rex chuckles loudly; Ahsoka activates her sabers and jumps  onto another ship and fights off Maul's followers; Ahsoka jumps from  ship to ship and fights the Mandalorians in red armor, she shows of  great skill with hand to hand combat and her lightsaber; Ahsoka jumps  onto a ship that is going down, but the Pilot is trapped inside, she  cuts him free]
