Venator hanger:

The clones had yet to disembark from the shuttle as Anakin and Ahsoka both left. Leaving Rex with a few of his boys.

Clone: How many made it off this time?

Rex: Just us.

Clone: Hey, Denal, good job frying that bounty hunter.

Clone: Yeah, let's get some grub. You hungry?

Clone: I'll catch up.

The clone in question chose to stay behind because he saw something that was incredibly suspicious. A few drops of green blood.

As the clones left, Ahsoka was talking with Anakin and Yularen.

Ahsoka: What now?

Anakin: We get the injured to the medical bay.

Just then, Rex shouted towards them.

Rex: General! There's something I think you should see.

He shouted as Anakin made his way over to the clone captain and his comrade. However, Ahsoka noticed "Denal" holding his arm and rushed over to him.

Ahsoka: Hey, trooper, are you all right?

The trooper didn't respond and kept on walking.

Ahsoka: Must've been hit in the head.

Meanwhile, Anakin was inspecting the green blood.

Rex: It's blood sir. And it sure isn't from any of our men.

Anakin then realised the reason why he still felt Bane when he was clearly destroyed along with the ship. However, outside, Ahsoka was still trying to talk to the clone.

Ahsoka: Wait! You're injured. It might be serious.

The clone said nothing, but when Ahsoka's eyes looked at the wound, they widened in shock and realisation.

Ahsoka: You're no clone...!

Anakin: Ahsoka!

Just then, the imposter swiftly sent Ahsoka down with a knee to the stomach, before promptly rushing off and confronting other clones and crew members of the Venator ship. Taking off his backpack, the imposter swiftly used it as a battering ram and climbed into a shuttle before promptly taking off, with Anakin latching on and smacking his helmet off, revealing, Cad Bane as the imposter.

As Bane flew, Anakin got knocked off, and the bounty hunter smirked as he took off towards the Hyperspace rings at speed.

Anakin: (Through Comms) Admiral! Lock down all Hyperspace rings! Hurry!

He ordered. But, just as Yularen began to lockdowm the Hyperspace rings, Bane managed to get inside one, and took off into Hyperspace before anyone could do anything.  Smirking, Bane watched as he was enveloped in the blue whirlpools that was Hyperspace, and left the Venator far behind.

Bane's hideout:

Bane was currently on a holo-call with Count Mordain as he relaxed in his chair.

Bane: I have delivered what you wanted old friend. The Jedi proved to be no problem, and Ahsoka was left unharmed. Anything else I can help you with?

Mordain: Now that I have what I need Bane, we must make the Jedi think that we are up to something else. Provide a distraction that will drive them away from the main goal. But do not go against my code. Understand old friend?
