When the five Harrowers were escaping the Nexus, just before the explosion, general Grievous in his personal starfighter and some vulture droids were hot on their tail. Marssi isn't a good enough pilot to deal with all of that, but the coaxium bomb explosion knocked out the systems of all of the ships before the chase got anywhere. Marssi can see the Myrewig crash site though, and is able to control the shuttle's wings just enough to start directing it there. "What the shit!" - Marssi yelled when general Grievous suddenly landed on top of the shuttle, right by the cockpit. He was about to break through the glass, but Marssi beat him to it - firing multiple shots at him with her blaster pistol, knocking the - "fucking bug!" - Off of the ship. The shuttle crashes, plowing through jungle trees and thickets, having a very rough landing as it started to roll around over the wildlife, before breaking into two halves with the wings tearing off. Marssi stumbles out of the smoking cockpit, badly banged up from the crash. She sees that Diles and Karsson are about as fine as she is, and they are rushing towards their half of the ship to go dig out Dekker. And Marssi went over to Ahsoka, who is laying in the mud, unconscious. Marssi practically falls to her knees, and supports her friend's head, checking her pulse and then sighing with relief.
"Soka, wake up, dude." She says, lightly smacking the Togruta's cheeks. "Wake up, Soka. We gotta keep... Keep going..."

Casting a shadow over Marssi are two towering figures - Pong Krell and general Grievous... The mercenary chuckles at them, thinking she's completely screwed over. Even if she was at her full strength, there would be no way she could beat these two titans... But then, she sees Anakin Skywalker approaching, far behind them. All she knows is that he's "the chosen one" - whatever that's supposed to mean, and that he is the most famous Jedi alive right now. And then, noticing the two Separatist powerhouses looking at something behind her, Marssi turns around and sees Diles and Karsson there, and beside them is Jinang Iang. Ready to back her up.
"Fuck yeah..." Marssi said, smirking up at Krell and Grievous. "You two are fucked..."

As the Jedi approaches, Krell and Grievous turn around the face him, and Anakin just walks right between the two Separatists as if they weren't even there. Emitting the raw power of the force like the breath of a conqueror in the air, intimidating both Grievous and Krell into backing away slightly. Anakin looks at his padawan, seeing that she is in bad condition, and then he looks into Marssi's eyes. She can feel his immense power, and it is frightening, but also encouraging...
"Are you going to protect her?" He asked sternly.

"That's why I fucking came here," Marssi answered. "And blew that super structure to hell."

Then, Anakin turns around to face the Separatists, finally, as they grow tired of standing around. Accepting that Ahsoka is in the right hands for now. Jinang locked eyes with general Grievous briefly, employing a great amount of self control as he wishes nothing more than to kill him right here... But the Harrowers need him. They're all scattered, injured, and neck deep in unbridled chaos. So he runs off with the others, leaving Anakin alone to face off - and probably die fighting against, general Grievous and Pong Krell...
Grievous unclips his cape from his shoulders and it is carried away by the wind, as the thunderstorm picks up. Krell draws his two, double-bladed, red lightsabers, Anakin ignites his single blue saber and general Grievous draws two of his own. The Separatists have completely lost Felucia today, but they are keen on taking some of the Jedi with them. The fight begins with Krell closing the distance with a powerful horizontal slash that Anakin deflects, creating a loud thoom to begin a very intense battle. The Jedi has to dash and jump around to keep up with his hulking opponents that each have superior strength and reach. The sabers clashing continuously make bright flashes of light in high frequency, all three combatants moving with incredible speed, making a spectacle of a fight. Grievous and Krell don't work too well together, their styles do not synergize and with a much smaller target, they end up getting in each other's way, making the fight much more even than it originally seemed. Anakin is considered legendary for good reason as well, with a nearly perfect combat form when he turns onto the offensive. The tide of the battle changes constantly as the fighters' stances switch rapidly between offense and defense, with no clear indication as to who might win. Like opposing tidal waves crashing together in an endless storm. None of them can afford to keep up with the stalemate, though, as they are all in a very bad situation. Any second, Separatist battle droids or Republic clone troopers could arrive and turn the tides. But that just makes the fight all the more intense as they rush to defeat each other. Their fight is becoming a whirlwind of multi-colored lightsaber strokes, rapid attacks making streaks through the air as they move across the land that was flattened by Marssi's crashing shuttle. Grievous and Krell keep trying to attack Anakin from the front and back, but he's skilled enough to keep them from surrounding him, jumping and backstepping with incredibly dexterous and fast-paced footing. The clashes of their sabers are starting to make ripples in the air from increasing power, and as it goes on, they are all taking damage from the fight and none of them can keep it up for too much longer as B2s and Republic Rangers are now swarming the area, expanding the battlefield. General Narmer and commander Rex storm the jungle in a clash against their droid enemies, finding out very quickly that every possible unit the Separatists have on Felucia is going to try and reach this spot to protect count Dooku, who was blasted out of the orbit by Mace Windu. Narmer uses his enormous blaster gatling which he's become famous for by now, to blast apart multiple B2 droids per shot fired. And covering the Ranger general's back there is Rex, rapidly dropping the enemies with his pistols, and pinpoint accuracy. Meanwhile, the Rangers swarm the area with the 501st clone troopers, working together to clean up the clankers before more arrive.

Eventually, count Dooku called upon general Grievous in the middle of his fight with Anakin to go chase after the Harrowers, informing the cyborg that they still have the vital information about the nature of those coaxium bombs and their original purpose. Knowing that if that information got out, it could end the entire clone war. And as for Krell, he will have to try and defeat Anakin on his own, still injured from his fight with Bek Bender... He couldn't get it done with Grievous there, but at least now there is no one getting in his way and there's no reason to hold anything back...
Grievous took the first opportunity to leave, and Anakin attempted to stop the cyborg but Krell kept him from attacking Grievous and their fight continued. The general can run up to 40 miles per hour, and he does so, following the trail of the Harrowers back to the Myrewig where they were trying to hold their ground against the Felucians. Several of them are lying dead, and the scientist is inside of the ship, working to get it flying again. As Grievous runs towards the Myrewig, Marssi notices him, and she and few others open fire, but the cyborg deflects every blast, not slowing down at all. And then Grievous leaps into the air towards the Myrewig, to try and descend upon the Harrowers with all four of his arms now wielding lightsabers. But he is suddenly knocked out of the air, getting struck in the side with great, tremendous force. With a loud, crackling thoom, green energy and lightning is shot in all directions, as Jinang Iang kicked general Grievous with all of his might. The Harrowers see the spectacular kick in the air above Zorsia's ship, and  Marssi and a couple others cheered as they saw general Grievous being knocked a dozen meters away from the Myrewig.
Jinang and his old enemy land on their feet across from each other in the rain, staring each other down. Jinang never imagined he'd have this opportunity, to kill general Grievous... But here it is.
"I remember you..." Grievous says maniacally. "Jinang Iang. Just a pesky padawan. I thought you were dead, until you were found on Kashyyyk earning a hefty bounty."

"You've been paying attention..." Jinang says, igniting both of his lightsabers.

"I knew you would come for me." The general says, putting one of his lightsabers away to grab a different one... "I like to always be prepared... Your master's lightsaber is my favorite trophy, after all..."

Grievous ignites Riyarra Agdol's gold lightsaber, sending Jinang into a deep rage... Seeing that sick and twisted machine brandishing his master's lightsaber as a trophy. Seeing that it is now a weapon to be used against him... Jinang starts to glow with the green aura as he stepped forward, taking off towards Grievous with a sound breaking burst.
"HOW DARE YOU WIELD HER LIGHTSABER!!" He screamed as he leapt forward to take his revenge.
