Narrator: A Galaxy divided by war. Peaceful worlds must choose sides or face the threat of invasion. Republic and Separatist armies vie for the allegiance of neutral planets. Desperate to build a Republic supply base in the system of Toydaria, Jedi Master Yoda and Padawan Zane Torellas travel to secret negotiations on a remote neutral moon.

Moon of Rugosa No POV

King Katuunko of Toydaria was already at the meeting spot with two of his guards.

Guard; we are getting no signal from the Republic, your highness.

Katuunko:<uses his personal binoculars to see to space> I don't see anything. It is not like the Jedi to be late.

Ventress: greetings, King Katuunko.

Wade and Ventress were there with two battle droids as they bow in greetings making Katuunko to grab his guards' weapons so they won't fire.

Katuunko: who are you?

Ventress: we're only messengers, Majesty. Our master wishes to speak to you.

Wade puts a holo-disk on the ground as it reveals Count Dooku in hologram form.

Dooku:<hologram> Katuunko, great king of Toydaria, forgive my intrusion.

Katuunko: Count Dooku.

Dooku:<hologram> I am aware Master Yoda hopes you will allow the Jedi to build a Republic base in your system in exchange for protection, correct?

Katuunko: your spies serve you well, count.

Dooku;<hologram> I ask, how can the Jedi protect you if they cannot protect themselves?

Republic Ship

Clone: Toydarian Royal Delegation, this is the Republic Envoy. Please respond. General, the Toydarians' beacon is active on the moon, but all our transmissions are being jammed.

Yoda: Hmm.

Zane: that's never a good sign.

Zane was right as the ship was attacked by two Separatist frigates that came out of Hyperspace.

Commander Droid: we caught them by surprise, all right.

The Republic ship maneuvered while firing back at the Separatist ships.

Clone: we're losing our shields.

Yoda: too late it is. Sprung is the trap.

Clone: I must get you to safety, General.

Yoda: retreat you must. On the moon below our mission. There we must go.

Surface

Katuunko; I suppose you and your droid armies can do better?

Dooku:<hologram> without a doubt. I sense you are one who respects strength, your highness. Our droid armies outnumber the Republic clones a hundred to one.

Katuunko: perhaps, but I have heard that a single Jedi equals a hundred battle droids. More with a Padawan on their side.

Republic Ship

Yoda: quickly now. Reach the planet's surface we must.

Clone: in an escape pod, sir? The enemy will fire at anything we launch.

Yoda: then launch all of them you will, hmm?

The Clone did that as Yoda, Zane and three Clones got into a pod and launched towards the moon.

Surface

Dooku:<hologram> Master Yoda's powers have been greatly exaggerated.

Katuunko: that remains to be seen, count.
