DARK ILLUSIONSACT IIIChapter 47As the 212th Battalion begin post-battle operations, Commander Cody and Anakin Skywalker await contact from Obi-Wan Kenobi.Clone Trooper Pry: I don’t remember ‘Battle Cleanup 101’ in basic training, do you?
Clone Trooper Fraz: General Skywalker issued the order to salvage whatever is left of the Droid Army for intelligence.
Clone Trooper Wark: I say we melt them down…make dinnerware out of them. It would serve the entire Grand Army!
Clone Pilot Ratchet: So that is the “great” Droid Commander OOM-12, huh?
Clone Trooper Zank: Nothing more than scrap now. But if he is carrying any recent transmissions in his database, he may yet be of use to us
Clone Trooper Pry: Or maybe we should prop them up for target practice! Anakin Skywalker: ……….
Never good with patience, Anakin’s mind begins to wander…Watto: It don’t matter how long it takes! Wait here until the customer arrives. And make sure they pay in advance! No funny business……Wha? Wheres everyone goin’?
Anakin Skywalker: Something is coming this way.
Jawa: Eeeecccchhhheeeeee!!!
Yakface: Raiders!!!
Watto: Raiders?? Quick! Take cover! You’re no good to me if you can’t race!
Anakin Skywalker: Tusken Raiders?
Tusken Raider: Rrrooaarrr – rrrroooaaarrrr!
Graga: (in Huttese) Nooo!!!
Graga: Uugghh…
Tusken Raider: Rrrroooaaarrr – roooaar!
Tusken Raider: Rrroooooaaaaaarr!!!Jawa: EEE-CHEE-YYYIIII!!!
Anakin Skywalker: ……sandpeople……
Anakin Skywalker: Stay with me, mom…
Shmi Skywalker: ……I…love……………..
Tusken Raider: Rrrroooaaaarrr!!!
Anakin Skywalker: NNNOOOOOO!!!
Anakin Skywalker: ANIMALS!!!
Tusken Raider: Rrrroooaaaarrr!!!
Anakin Skywalker: I HATE YOU!!
Anakin Skywalker: I wasn't strong enough to save you, Mom. But I promise……I won't fail again.
Padme Amidala: Annie, are you just going to sit here and let him die?? He's your friend... your mentor...
Anakin Skywalker: He’s like my father……Commander Cody: General? General Skywalker?
Anakin Skwalker: What is it, Commander?
Commander Cody: Still no word from General Kenobi.
Anakin Skywalker: He’s alive……I can feel his presence.
Commander Cody: We do have several reports of a speeder leaving the field of battle.
Anakin Skywalker: Dooku…
Commander Cody: And we’ve scoured the area, but can find no signs of the mysterious warrior.
Central Command transmission on comlink: <bing bing> We have found the homing beacon of General Kenobi’s BARC speeder. It is coming from an area known as the Crystal Mines.Anakin Skywalker: Set course for the Crystal Mines!
Commander Cody: Yes, sir!
Meanwhile, back at the Crystal Mines…Count Dooku: I hope your saber skills have improved since our last meeting, Master Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You’ll soon find out!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ugh……
Count Dooku: It’s a pity that the previous battle has weakened you. Otherwise, this contest might actually be challenging.
Count Dooku: Perhaps
now you understand the true power of the Force! The power that even Master Yoda fears!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yoda doesn’t fear you, Dooku……and neither do I!
Count Dooku: You can say that……you may even believe that…Count Dooku: But I can feel you tiring……doubt entering your mind……fear of failing to end this War……
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You won’t break me the way you did Master Bulq.
Count Dooku: Who said anything about “breaking” you…
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ugghh…
Count Dooku: Your attack lacks imagination, Master Kenobi. Your stance……off balance. No style at all.Count Dooku: Yet another sign of the continuing decay of the Jedi Order.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: …….ugghhh……
Count Dooku: Perhaps I was mistaken……a true Jedi would not be so easily defeated.
Count Dooku: Disappointing to be sure……but not unexpected.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You won’t kill Anakin so easily, Dooku.
Count Dooku: Hmph……indeed……
Count Dooku: However, I don’t plan to kill you, Master Kenobi.
Count Dooku: You serve another purpose. You may proceed, Utapaun.Obi-Wan Kenobi: Wha???
Obi-Wan Kenobi: UUGGGHHHH……
Sagev: Die Je-edi!
Count Dooku: STOP! You will soon get your revenge, Utapaun.
Count Dooku: Prepare for Skywalker’s arrival.
Sagev: Yes, Count Dooku.
