Ahsoka and Anakin arrive

Ahsoka and Anakin arrive at the council chamber

Mace Windu: You're late, Skywalker

Anakin: We came as fast as we could

Mace Windu: We?

They notice Ahsoka entering behind Anakin

Samara: You really don't care, do you Skywalker

She says while using her hologram, as she's still above Belsavis in her Venator-class cruiser

Anakin: About what, Master

Samara: The mess she made, the dark side grows by the day because of her mistake to stop the Sith

Anakin: With all due respect, but didn't you also let him escape

Samara: You

Ahsoka: This is not the time for this

Obi-Wan: Ahsoka is right. Please continue, Supreme Chancellor Amidala

Padme: As I said before, the Sith and his forces are attacking Jabba the Hutt's palace as we speak

Aayla: Are we sure it's him

Padme: I'm afraid so, Master Aayla

Padme shows the holorecording of Trilla cutting through Jabba's guards

Aayla: Trilla, what have you done

Plo Koon: It seems your Padawan has completely fallen, she seems to enjoy it

Aayla: I refuse to believe that; I've been trying to reach out to her through the Force

Yoda: You been successful, have?

Aayla: No, I haven't

Yoda: Hrrmmm. A pity, promise she had

Ahsoka: If she's there, so will the Sith

Anakin: So what is the plan

Mace Windu: We don't have any Jedi forces close enough to Tatooine to make it in time

Samara: So there is nothing we can do. What about you, Supreme Chancellor Amidala? Can you send someone?

Padme: I already have, i've send clone force 99

Anakin: The Bad Batch

Padme: they we're the closest to Tatooine, I ordered them to secure the castle, and if they can't, they're to make sure no one leaves it

Mace Windu: And what if the Hutt is already dead

Padme: Then we'll bomb the place until not even a stone stands, it would put an end to the Sith

Samara: I've already tried that; I rained fire down on Beslavis, and he still managed to escape

Ahsoka: Do the Bad Batch have a ship that can bomb the palace

Padme: No, but a Venator-class cruiser is already on its way, but it won't get there in time if the Bad Batch isn't there to keep the Sith busy

Aayla: And what if the Bad Batch succeeds in taking the Sith down

Padme: unlikly, there good, but we're fools if we keep underestimating him. From now on I'm overestimating him. We need to make sure he doesn't walk away from Tatooine

Obi-Wan: The Hutts won't like it

Padme: I can't do both, master jedi, Master Jedi. Either we play nice with the Hutts, which gives the Sith more time to escape, or we kill them all

Anakin: I say we kill them; better be safe than sorry

Mace Windu: Of course you say that, you hate the Hutts

Anakin: They're slave traders, they deserve this

Samara: It doesn't matter if they deserve it; the Hutts will blame us if Jabba dies

Padme: Then let's hope the Bad Batch can make sure Jabba doesn't die

C-3PO: Supreme Chancellor Amidala

Padme: What is it C-3PO? I'm busy

C-3PO: I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't serious, but a broadcast has started from Jabba's palace, one that's being broadcast through all the core worlds

Padme: What? Put it on, and make sure they can see it too

C-3PO opens the broadcast, showing you and your forces surrounding Jabba with all your lightsabers pointed at him

Aiden: Sorry to bother you all, but can I have your attention

you say with an evil grin on your face
