It wasn't long before the other possessed clones in the corridor rushed in.

"Oh, okay," Spider-Man grumbled.

Ahsoka, however, was already looking for a way out.

"Peter, Barris, go to the vents."

"Up there."

Spider-Man fired a web that shot toward the ceiling as he quickly pried open the vent cover. Seconds after entering the space, Ahsoka and Barris arrived and they quickly climbed out.

"Do you think any of them have discovered us?" Spider-Man asked with lingering fear.

"Must have found out, because the vent cover fell on a couple of the clones."

"What should we do now?"

"I'll go to the reactor room and disable the thrusters." Barris volunteered. "You proceed to the aft communications center and alert Master Fisto. We have to stop this ship from reaching the medical station.

Spider-Man said, "I'll go with you."

"Well, there's one of you and two of us," Ahsoka pointed out. "Who are you going to help?"

There are many times when Spider-Man doesn't like to choose one thing over another. In the past, it was a meaningless problem in everyday life. Now it's terrible.

"Uh." Spider-Man rubbed his head.

Thankfully, Ahsoka picked it for him. "The communications room is on the other end of the ship. Right now, most of the clones are probably still looking for us wherever we fled to."

"you sure?"

“I’m…90% sure.

"Guys," Barris interrupted. "We must hurry and contact our Master and Master Festus."

Ahsoka nodded reluctantly, got into position, and began to crawl towards her destination.

"Be careful, both of you," she called to them.

"We'll be fine," Barris promised. "Just be careful."

Nodding, the three of them headed towards their destination.

Ahsoka, for her part, reached her destination much quicker than her friends, happy to see that communications still worked for the most part. She went to contact Master Fisto and the medical station the frigate was heading to at the moment.

"Padawan Tano." Jedi Master Kit Fisto greeted her with his signature smile. "I became concerned when we didn't hear from you on schedule."

Ahsoka sighed wearily. "We didn't report it for a good reason.

Fisto's expression dropped slightly, noting Ahsoka's obvious look of worry and panic.

Ahsoka quickly recounts the events of her ship, telling the Nautolan Jedi that the Geonosian parasite has infected the clones and is now hunting them.

"Master, we cannot board the medical bay under any circumstances while these items are aboard the ship," Ahsoka announced.

“But that leaves you, Barris and young Parker still in danger,” Festo countered. “You must dock with the station. We can analyze the parasites and find a way to deal with them.”

"Master Fisto, these worms are extremely dangerous. They managed to take control of our clones without us realizing or sensing them. Ahsoka retorted.

"We'll take the necessary precautions, young man," Fisto assured, but Ahsoka clearly didn't believe him.

"I have a bad feeling about this, Master Fisto," Ahsoka admitted. "But, I will follow your instructions."

As Ahsoka talked to Fisto, Barriss and Spider-Man reached the end of the ship and the two dropped out of the vents back to back.

"Looks like we're in the clear," Barris whispered.

"At least for now," Spider-Man said.

"This way." Barris motioned for him to follow.

Spider-Man noticed the hallway. "Haven't we been here before?"

"There's some repetition in the layout of this ship," Barris joked as they entered the corridor leading to the reactor room.

Spider-Man blinked, suddenly under attack. He let out a small roar, gritting his teeth and staring at Barriss, who convulsed in pain and the lightsaber fell from her hand.

Suddenly, they were surrounded from both sides by clones, blasters pointed at them.

Spider-Man looked back and forth, trying to think of a way to escape this situation.

Clone Trooper Edge had spoken in chat about how the Clones always knew the right way to take out a Jedi, but Spider-Man didn't hear any of it because he heard Barriss whispering next to him.

"When you get a chance, go find Ahsoka," she whispered.

"What?" Spider-Man said in shock.

Clone Trooper Scythe holds out a Geonosian egg with two worms wriggling on it.

"Let's go!" Barris whispered sternly, and Spider-Man hesitated, causing Barris to forcefully push him past the two clones that were blocking their original entrance.

Spider-Man looked up in horror as Barris was shocked again and the scythe grabbed her hair and pulled it back.

Spider-Man slammed his fist into the ground, leaving a sizeable dent, and was about to rush through when the passage was blocked by the ray.

He gritted his teeth, looked at the two clones he had knocked down, and quickly pushed them against the wall, immobilizing them.

Spider-Man mentally blamed himself and jumped into the vent again, and just as Spider-Man fell, the newly possessed Barris retracted her lightsaber.

He needed to find Ahsoka.
