Back on the bridge, Captain Locke contacts Ace Coss and Scott Lang.

"Status report," Kos asked.

On Locke's side, the Clone Captain was caught in the crossfire, retreating back and firing repeatedly at the oncoming wave of droids.

"Too many!" Locke yelled, gritting his teeth in anger and frustration. Several more clones died around him, but they continued to fight.

"Where's Hope?" Scott asked with great concern.

"She told us to stand back while she tackled one of the waiters," Locke informed.

Scott froze in fear when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He looked towards Eskos and saw the Jedi Knight giving him an affirmative look.

"Trust your partner, Scott," Cos said. "You Avengers are different than most. She knows how to take care of herself.

Although he wanted to argue, Ant-Man knew there was truth to what Kos said, especially in the case of the Wasp, who had been separated from them when they first arrived in the system and had taken good care of herself until they found her.

Meanwhile, Kos turned his attention to Captain Locke. "You guys go to the escape pod. I'll deal with Grievous here.

"But, sir, you can't face all this alone. Locke argued.

"Risk all my men killed? I guess not Captain. Koss countered in a tone that left no room for argument. "Let's go."

Locke hated this. He wanted to help his general, but Coss made it clear. Get everyone out.

"All soldiers, proceed to the evacuation bay immediately." Locke ordered. "Ms. Van Dine. Where are you?

Wasp flew towards the bridge of the ship, dodging the blasters aimed at her. The commando droids proved to be worthy of their name, as they made sure to fire a constant stream of blaster bolts in her direction.

Now, she needs to reunite with Scott and Coss and get rid of the ship.

However, she stopped in mid-air when she heard the clones yelling in panic. Looking back, she saw the clones running away, several of them injured, being chased by super robots and commandos.

She gritted her teeth and flew straight at them, firing her stingers. She fired them into the robot joints, her stingers having been upgraded since arriving in this galaxy to take out the metal enemies they usually encountered.

All the while, Eskos and Ant-Man waited for the impending attack on the bridge, with the clones in the room pointing their weapons at the door. They heard metallic footsteps coming from another door, and the clones tensed while Eskos chose to ignite his lightsaber.

Scott's helmet was wrapped around his head, his thumb hovering over the button that shrunk him.

A blue lightsaber pierced the door from the other side and slowly began to carve a path through the metal, forming a circle large enough to penetrate the room.

The room was tense and silent as the blasters were dragged toward the door. After reaching a complete circle, there were several metallic knocks from the other side, which made Scott move, while Kos stood firm.

Suddenly, the door burst from its hinges, causing Scott to instinctively flinch, while an unfortunate clone was hit and knocked back.

Scott, who had grown taller again, looked towards the entrance and saw General Grievous walking in with his arms clasped behind his back.

"Jedi." The robot general said before staring at Ant-Man. "Avenger."

Ant-Man couldn't help but waved back nervously, but he remained strong because he knew he was in for a fight.

"That's terrible." Koth gripped his lightsaber tightly as Grievous stepped aside.

In walked several commando droids, who raised their blasters and the clones opened fire on them. Scott sprang into action, cowering and knocking two commando droids' heads off with his clones while Koss took out the others.

However, Grievous now enters with them, but Koth and Ant-Man continue to fight.

Until Grievous's hand reached out, grabbed the leaping Ant-Man, and threw him to the ground. Although Scott's body took the brunt of the fall, he accidentally caused the growth button to hit the ground.

Now back to his full size, Scott had several Magna guards surrounding him, pointing their electrified staffs at him.

Koth was disarmed, the Magna guards grasping his arms, an arm behind him wrapped around his neck. The Jedi Master watched as Grievous leapt onto the holo-table, shadows highlighting his slitted yellow eyes.

"Askos, isn't it? I've been looking forward to meeting you." Grievous said with a maniacal laugh.

"Your reputation precedes you, General," Kos said calmly. "A reputation as a coward and a murderer."

"Murderer?" Grievous stood up and grabbed his two lightsabers. "Is ridding the galaxy of Jedi filth murder?"

"Well, that just labels it as genocide," the Avenger said.

"General Grievous."

The Robot General looked back and saw Chezoneva walk in, and the waiter immediately looked down at the Avenger. She laughed at him and kicked him in the head.

He was happy about his helmet, but still a little hurt.

"What is this?" Grievous asked impatiently.

"It's another Avenger." Chezzo said. "She's gone. None of the other robots can seem to find her.

"You let her escape?"

"Have you forgotten? She might curl up into a ball, making herself difficult to see." Chezzo shot back.

"However, I was able to capture someone with the same abilities," Grievous countered.

Chezzo's face twitched with anger, but she knew there was no point in trying to argue with the bloody general, and she simply waved at the Magna Guards.

The droid electrocuted both the Avengers and the Jedi, rendering them unconscious.

In a secluded area inside the bridge, Hope van Dyne watches from behind an air vent as Cos and Scott are taken away by their kidnappers.

The Wasp gritted her teeth and chose to stay out of sight, continuing to pursue the Separatists, who now had two important people as hostages. She raised her Avengers ID card, pressed the emergency signal, and quickly followed Grievous and Chezzo into their ship.
