Rescue of Quinlan Vos

"What about Dooku?''" "I'll take care of him. Looks like we might get two for one today&mdash;Dooku's death and Vos's return." "''May the Force be with us."

- Asajj Ventress, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi

During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order mounted a mission to rescue Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, who had been captured while on an assignment to assassinate Count Dooku.

Prelude
After Ventress's failed attempts to rescue and sway Quinlan Vos from the dark side on Serenno, she escaped and met with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in a pub in Coruscant's subterranean cities.

A month later, Ventress ran into Mahran Jedi Knight Akar-Deshu. While his approach was met with hostility and reluctance to speak, he explained to him that Kenobi informed the Jedi Council of what happened to Vos. Afterwards, he accompanied and presented her to the Jedi Council.

As Ventress entered the Jedi Council Chamber, Mace Windu greeted her with an arrest warrant, but Masters Kenobi and Yoda gave her the chance to provide information of Quinlan Vos. As she explained, initially, the Council members - even Mace Windu - interrogated her with tones of suspicion and hostility. Ventress answered truthfully - that she trained Quinlan Vos in the ways of the dark side, believing it was the best method to gather their strength to assassinate Dooku, which shocked the Council members. But Ventress made a point of reminding the Jedi Council that they were the ones who wanted to pair up Quinlan Vos and her to assassinate Dooku.

As she, Desh, and Anakin Skywalker left the Council Chambers, the Council debated on this new information. Kenobi believed that there was still a chance at saving Vos from the dark side, though this was met with mixed responses from the Council members. All of a sudden, Admiral Wullf Yularen contacted the Jedi Council regarding intel of Count Dooku and his new "Admiral Enigma": that Dooku's Providence-class dreadnought was sighted above and ready to attack the planet of Taris. Yoda then presented Ventress with a deal - if she helps Kenobi and Skywalker bring back Vos to the Jedi Temple and to the light side, then she would be given a full pardon of her war crimes.

The rescue
Skywalker, Kenobi and Ventress boarded the Banshee, and she flew it into the hangar of Dooku's capital ship that was leading the fleet. The bounty hunter used Separatist codes to disable the hangar shields and enter the hangar. As they safely landed, they deduced that this "Admiral Enigma"&mdash;Vos&mdash;was on the bridge of the destroyer.

Skirmish on the bridge
Ventress guided the two Jedi through the halls of the destroyer, avoiding battle droid patrols. Once they reached the bridge, the figure that rose from the captain's chair wasn't Vos - it was Dooku. With his red blade ignited, Anakin wasted no time in leaping to Dooku with his own blue lightsaber.

While Skywalker and Tyranus dueled, the several battle droids on the bridge opened fire on Ventress and Kenobi. As Ventress accessed the computer on the lowest level of the bridge, Kenobi covered her by deflecting the incoming blaster fire with his own lightsaber. Ventress also used the Force to throw two battle droids together; this distracted Dooku. He fled down to the second level with Skywalker in close pursuit.

The duel between Anakin and Dooku seemed to be a stalemate. The Sith Lord released a blast of blue Force lightning at his opponent. Skywalker raised his blade to shield himself from the lightning. With his other hand, Dooku used the Force to throw parts of a destroyed battle droid at Anakin. He dodged by jumping to the third level below, with Dooku in pursuit.

More droids entered the bridge, opening fire on Ventress and Obi-Wan. While they were redirecting the blaster fire, the computer displayed information of this "Admiral Enigma" still a captive. As Ventress and Kenobi fled the bridge to a prisoner cell block, Anakin still continued fighting Tyranus.
