Obi-Wan Kenobi hadn't done so well after the incident on Rutanda. He was treated very poorly in the Ferrara prison, being harassed and occasionally attacked. Sitting on the cot in his lonely prison cell, Obi-Wan is wearing a short-sleeved, white jumpsuit uniform like all prisoners. His hair and beard have grown long and messy. He had no idea what was going to happen to him - nobody told Obi-Wan anything, so he's just been silently waiting in a prison cell for something. But he doesn't know what. Obi-Wan came to the conclusion that he was being unlawfully held and hidden, but he can't do anything about it, until now - when the alarm suddenly went off and explosions were heard in the distance, followed by a squad of clone troopers storming the prison cell block, stunning the guards non-lethally. And then the Jedi saw a familiar set of clone trooper armor, worn by none other than commander Cody. A trusted friend. Last Obi-Wan knew, Cody was sent to Kamino for undisclosed reasons, and the Jedi was certain that it was for something terrible... But seeing him here is a relief. They use light detonators to bust the cell open and Obi-Wan stands up to greet his friend.
"I'm pleased to see you well." Obi-Wan says very casually, as if he wasn't unlawfully imprisoned for almost a whole year. "But how is it you've gotten into such a mess?"

"There's no time." Commander Cody says urgently. "We've got to get you out of here."

Suddenly, scrambled missiles fly through the air and blast the area, breaking up all of the clones and knocking them around. The prison lane is a tall, long corridor with three floors and jail cells lining the walls. On the ground floor, across that corridor is the president of Harrowers mercenary club, Bek Bender, aka; the Iron Maiden. He's got his comrades behind him, and he's holding a missile launcher and a blaster gatling with a cocky, delighted smile on his face. Bender and his mercenaries open fire on the clones who were scattered on the floor by the missiles, and the boss slowly makes his way towards them. Bender alone mows down 40 clones with his gatling, while the others handle the rest. Once he ran out of ammo, he tossed the blaster gatling at a clone trooper, shattering his helmet on impact and killing him instantly. The boss holds a Redspice parchment roll out, getting it grazed by a blaster bolt to light it, and starts smoking while casually continuing to move through the prison. In all of the chaos, the prisoners behind the bars have no idea who to route for, so they just cheer on the violence in general, entertaining Bender to no end. Bender reaches Cody and knocks the trooper's blaster aside with his missile launcher and then front kicks the clone, cracking his breastplate and sending him flying backwards into Obi-Wan. Then he draws a machete and slashes up some more clones, cleaving through their armor with his monstrous strength. Cutting off heads and limbs.
"DAMN - it feels good to FIGHT again!" Bender yells in the middle of combat with a hardy laugh. "Come get some, you maggots!"

When Cody was knocked into Obi-Wan, the clone was injured and unconscious, but he dropped his lightsaber on the floor - how he even got it is a mystery, but the Jedi is glad to see it. He stands up, and ignites his saber, facing off against the Harrowers' boss.
"Sorry its gotta end this way," Bender said, putting a chunky ammo block into his missile launcher. "It ain't personal. Oh wait - fuck yeah it's personal! You're gonna pay, asshole."

"I don't quite understand what I've done, to upset you." Obi-Wan says, taking a defensive stance. "But causing all of this destruction just to get to me isn't the way."

"Save the preachin' for a padawan, son." Bender said with a snarky tone. "I ain't here to talk philosophy - I'm here to show you Rep fuckers that you don't mess with the Harrowers!"

A compartment of Bender's boots opens up, revealing his feet are cyborg implants, as a pair of jets emerge from his calves, and he bursts through the air in a powerful dash towards Obi-Wan. The Jedi holds his saber out in front of him for protection, and Bender just grabs it like it's nothing... Obi-Wan gasps and his jaw drops as Bender clutches the saber in his fist, which is catching on fire.
"I got all kinds 'a fun toys..." Bender says as his hand is burnt black. "This's why they call me the Iron Maiden..."
