Captain America and Anakin arrived and saw Rex, Cody, and the other clones gathered in front of the elevator.

"Okay, guys. What's up?

"Any signs of red eyes?" Captain America asked.

"We're not sure yet, sir," Rex said. "Blender last saw him, but we haven't heard from him since, and we can't find him.

R2 began to emit a series of beeps and whistles.

"What's wrong, man?" Anakin asked his faithful astromech droid.

The robot responded with a flurry of concerned beeps and whines.

“I know, I know, but I’m here now. Use the scanner. See if there’s anything out of place.

There was a small compartment on R2's domed head, and as he began to scan the area, a small device that looked like a satellite popped open. They followed the space suit, and Cap stared up at the rather dark ceiling.

"That's not a bad sign at all," Cap commented, his eyes still open, and Anakin glanced back at him before turning his gaze upwards a moment later.

"Yeah... this lighting is weird, isn't it? Anakin pointed out.

"gentlemen."

Both Steve and Anakin looked forward to see Rex, Cody, and the clones standing in front of a large empty box.

"Well, what's going on?" Anakin muttered.

"It looks like the contents of this box are missing," Five said loudly.

"Or it got up and walked away," Cap said, and Anakin nodded in agreement.

"Alright, disperse. I'll contact Obi-Wan," Anakin ordered, raising his wrist communicator.

Echo stood next to Cap and noticed his slightly worried expression.

"gentlemen?"

Steve didn't respond at first. "Where did Red Eye go?"

"That was the last time I saw him, sir." Blender stepped forward at the question.

"Then go ahead. Echo, the Stooge, join me.

Steve leaves with the trio of clones while Anakin speaks to Obi-Wan.

"Anakin, what did you find?" Obi-Wan asked in the dining hall.

There is a large container that was opened and its contents are missing." Anakin said, looking back at the empty box surrounded by clones. "Steve went with three troopers to look for our missing men.

Kenobi considered this information for a moment, then nodded. "Remain quiet. I will be with the senators.

"Got it." Anakin said, turning to look at the clones. "Rex, Five, you're with me. Cody, split the men in two and search them.

"Yes sir," Cody said, directing the clones to do as he was told.

Cap, Echo, and Stooge follow Blender to the fork in the road where he and Red-Eye parted ways.

"This way." Blender said, walking in the direction Red Eye left.

The group quickly reached a dead end, though Stuff kicked at something on the ground. He glanced down and saw a blaster rifle.

"Found something," said the Joker, picking up the rifle and showing it to the others.

"We found our rifles," Echo muttered. "The problem is..."

"Where are our missing men?" Steve finished serving the clones when they heard a commotion coming from the direction of Anakin and the other clones, blaster fire echoing from there.

"Let's go," Steve said, and the group ran back from where they came from.

They run back in time to see the clones shoot a spider-like robot, which falls over, its red eyes dimming.

As they arrive, Blender sees something out of the corner of his eye and shouts in vain as another multi-legged robot appears from above and tackles him to the ground.

The clone struggled with the robot, and after a moment it breathed a sigh of relief when Steve grabbed the robot and pulled it off the clone. He threw it away, and the robot flew away to balance itself.

"Elevator!" Anakin suddenly shouted, and several heads turned towards the elevator door.

There they saw another robot opening the door and quickly climbing up the shaft.

"Damn it," Steve said loudly, throwing his shield at the robot that was still here and active.

Anakin quickly contacted his fellow Jedi. "Obi-Wan, there are assassin probes down there. One of them has climbed up the elevator. I will leave the others here.

Led by Obi-Wan and others, Daredevil begins his proceedings, with Black Widow wielding her electric baton.

"Quick, secure the elevator!" Kenobi ordered, igniting his lightsaber as the cafeteria door opened.

The senators stepped back and Chaim pulled out a blaster pistol he had hidden on his person.

The assassin droid entered the room, throwing the guards aside before sweeping its legs aside from Daredevil's outstretched baton. It tried to get back on its feet when Black Widow quickly stabbed it in the head with her baton, sending a jolt of electricity through it.

After a moment, it had a lightsaber embedded in its body, and fell down moments later.

However, as it landed, more and smaller assassin droids emerged from above its head, all heading straight for the people in the room.

Cham was the first to make his move, firing at the many mini-bots crawling around.

Black Widow linked her batons together to form an electrified staff, which she swung in a wide arch.

Daredevil uses him in a similar manner to his fellow Avengers, knocking out any mini-bots that get remotely close as he defends his fellow senators.

Rushing into the dining room, Satine pulled what appeared to be a small blaster from her sleeve. Pulling the trigger, it fired a small bolt of electricity. Once it landed on a droid, many of the mini-droids powered up due to being so close. Seeing this, Obi-Wan noticed the weapon in Duchess's hand.

Deflecting and slicing through a small swarm of mini-droids, Obi-Wan directed his inquiry to Sadine. "Do you always carry an inactivator with you?"

“Just because I’m a pacifist doesn’t mean I won’t defend myself.

"Now you sound like a Jedi."
