Plot Summary
Artoo manages to transmit the location of Grievous' listening post on a Ruusan moon, which the Twilight picks up. Though advised by Obi-Wan to wait for reinforcements, Anakin heads a rescue mission to save Artoo before his secrets fall into Separatist hands, as well as plant a bomb. When the team arrives at the station, Anakin separates from Ahsoka and the clones, heading out alone to find Artoo. Unbeknownst to them, R3-S6 is actually a spy for the Separatists, and alerts General Grievous to their presence. Meanwhile, Anakin has succeeded in finding R2-D2, and duels Grievous' MagnaGuards. Once they are defeated, he and Artoo order everyone to rendezvous in the south hangar. Unfortunately, Ahsoka does not hear them, as Grievous has engaged her hand-to-hand, and crushed her comlink. Eventually, she manages to escape through a vent. As Anakin and the clones, who have succeeded in planting the bombs, meet the Twilight in the hangar, R3's treachery is revealed when he traps them and activates several droids to fight them. Anakin orders Artoo to open the doors. Ahsoka rejoins the team, who defeat the Vulture droids and escape in the Twilight, detonating the bombs. Anakin leaves in his starfighter to pick up Artoo. Meanwhile, R3-S6 and R2-D2 have been fighting, Artoo having barely enough time to open the doors. R2 pushes his Separtist counterpart over the edge, but R3 grabs him with a magnetic grapple. Artoo succeeds in cutting the cable and R3-S6 is sent flying into the air. R2-D2 is then rescued by Anakin.
