Obi-Wan and Commander Cody make their way through the abandoned city, with Scott, having shrunk in size, flying above them on his ant-steed.

"Where are they?" Cody asked after looking around.

"Waxsmith and Boiling have not responded for so long." Obi-Wan looked up, obviously worried, and said, "Scott, any news on Hope?"

"No." Ant-Man looked worried.

Ant-Man knows Hope is more than capable of taking care of herself, but now they’re on an alien planet filled with robots who want to kill them.

Ant-Man suddenly stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a loud noise. It wasn't a sound made by robots. It sounded much louder... and in greater numbers.

Obi-Wan froze, raising his hand to signal the others to stop, and he felt the ground shake slightly.

"What's that?" asked Sergeant Woolley.

"Whatever it is," the other clone said, raising his gun, "it doesn't sound friendly."

"Guys!" Ant-Man yelled above them, "something's coming!"

"Lean against the wall and hide in the alley," Cody ordered.

As the vibration sound got closer, the company quickly hid, and they seemed to feel their armor making a faint sound.

At the end of the alley they found large bipedal creatures, somewhere between reptiles and insects, whose hard shells, spiny carapaces, and sharp mandibles indicated that they were insectoid in nature.

Their eyes were red, apparently noticing a few clones leaning against the wall, and the giant insects roared and hissed as they rushed towards the Ghost Squad, beginning their attack.

The clones directed their firepower at the creatures, hoping to hold them off. However, many of the troopers were severely injured in the process.

Obi-Wan gritted his teeth and raised his hands, calling on the Force. The Jedi Master reached out and controlled the giant insects, guiding them away from him.

Kenobi used the Force to guide them slowly back toward a closed alley.

One of the clones quickly drew his blaster and was about to fire when Cody stopped him, "No, leave it to Master Obi-Wan."

Going deeper and deeper into the alley, Obi-Wan saw the last of these bipeds enter the alley. Looking up, a thought quickly flashed through his mind.

As his back pressed against the wall, he yelled to Cody, "Shoot the bridge!"

The Ghosts quickly aimed their blasters at the target and fired a barrage of blaster fire at the stone bridge above. The stone bridge was crumbling and Obi-Wan released his control over the rampaging beasts. For a moment, they went crazy and tried to attack Obi-Wan. However, Obi-Wan jumped onto the giant beetles, chain-jumping to avoid them, and then jumped out of the alley. The stone bridge soon collapsed, blocking the giant beetles.

As Obi-Wan returned to the Ghost Squad, everyone heard another sound, and they immediately trained their guns on a rattling pothole.

The manhole cover was quickly removed, and several familiar faces came into the Ghost Team's field of vision.

"Waxer, Boiling, where have you two lazy guys gone?" Cody asked.

“We are here for a reason.”

Behind the two was Hope, who pulled a young Twi'lek child out of the pit.

"I didn't know we were going to adopt a child, Hope," Ant-Man said hypocritically.

The Wasp rolled her eyes at him. "Too early?"

"We have Casey."

Hope teased, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

Obi-Wan crouched down and spoke softly to the child in Ti'lek, and the Twi'lek child quickly relaxed as the communication barrier was broken.

Finishing his conversation with the young Twi'lek, Obi-Wan said to the rest of the Ghost Team, "She can help us get through the tunnels and get to where the others are. The Jedi Master then looked at the clone and said, "However, we need to find a way to distract the droids, as their blockade is brewing."

"It's not easy getting through the droid garrison, sir. They have several tanks stationed at the entrance to the village," Cody warned.

"You can leave this task to Scott and me. We have always wanted to test the skills my father taught us." The Wasp said confidently.

"If you don't mind, sir." The boiling words caught the attention of Obi-Wan and Cody, "I would like to help Hope and Scott with this problem."

"Me too." The wax maker jumped out.

The Wasp added, "Scott will be the distraction. If anything happens, you two will be our backup."

"All right then," Obi-Wan said.

……

In an empty hallway, a robot kneels, sponge in hand, diligently scrubbing the floor. It's about the worst job in the robot army.

Then the droid heard a buzzing noise and looked up to see Obi-Wan Kenobi standing there with a Twi'lek child in his arms and a woman in a strange uniform. Behind them were two clone troopers.

Obi-Wan used the Force to trigger a switch, trapping the droid, who soon began to slump his shoulders in frustration.

He raised the communicator on his wrist and said, "We're already in. Is everyone else in place?"

After a while, Commander Cody was the first to respond: "General, my troops are ready."

"Mine too," Ant-Man continued.

"Well, let's get started. At your command, Scott."

Ant-Man rubbed his hands together excitedly, and then pressed the command on his wrist. In front of Ant-Man and the Ghost Squad, a full-size AT-TE appeared in front of them, causing several clones to jump in surprise.

"Unbelievable," Sergeant Woolley muttered to himself and ran into the main cockpit.

"Oh, don't worry." Ant-Man then placed three TX-130 tanks on the ground and quickly restored them to normal size.

The clones quickly entered the tanks and prepared for the upcoming attack on the droid battalion.

Now that everyone is in position, Ant-Man has a group of scout ants in the sky above his head, allowing him to overlook the area at all times.

"Alright, guys. Fire when you're ready."

The sound of tank shells echoed across the canyon, and the surrounding robots were startled by what had just happened. In particular, several tanks driven by the Separatists were destroyed.

"Sir! Republic clones are attacking with tanks!" A B1 droid ran over to the tactical droid in charge of the battalion.

"What?" the tactical droid responded. "How is that possible? The Republic has no tanks here."

"I—I don't know!"

As the tactical droid pondered what was going on, he heard the sounds of fighting behind him. Turning, he saw clone troopers beginning to attack their position.

The tactical robot ordered: "Send the scouts back here immediately."

"We're trying, but they're either not responding or they're also entangled by the clones."

The droids began firing at the clones, but they were quickly shot down because the clones' attack was so unexpected that they were caught off guard.

Led by the Jedi Master, Obi-Wan quickly beheaded the last droid guarding the prisoners, while Wasp, Waxer, and Bruer quickly checked the surroundings.

The Twi'lek child used the underground tunnels as a passage to get them to safety.

As he watched them safely enter the tunnel, Kenobi saw a male Twi'lek quickly embrace the young child who had helped them get to this place. It turned out that the child had finally been reunited with his father, and the mother was currently missing.

Cody fired at a B1, which was hit in the head. Looking up, Cody saw the blaster cannon that had been blocking the Republic ships from landing.

"Sergeant Woolley, concentrate your fire on those blasters." Cody ordered the sergeant who was driving the AT-TE.

Woolley aimed the main gun at the robot's blaster cannon. "Fire," Woolley ordered.

The clone opened fire and scored a direct hit on one of the droid's blaster cannons.

Suddenly, a TX tank next to the AT-TE exploded in flames, and some nearby clones were caught in the fire.

"What is that?!" one of the clones shouted.

"Robot reinforcements!" Woolley shouted, and found a large group of robots rushing in from the right under the cover of the AAT.

"robot!"

"Go to cover!" Cody ordered.

Kenobi saw this and wanted to help, but when he saw the blasters begin to change positions to target the remaining tanks, he knew he needed to act quickly.

"Waxer, Boiling, follow me. We need to destroy those blasters." Obi-Wan said.

"Go, I'll cover you." The Wasp shouted loudly, shrinking quickly and attacking the incoming B1 and B2 super robots.

Overhead, Ant-Man quickly sends out warnings of the various robots' locations to avoid blind clone action. Ant-Man sees the large number of robots that the Wasp is facing and decides to go there to help her.

Flying down, he said to the clone sergeant and commander: "Hey, I'm going to support Hope. The blaster cannon needs more support now."

"Leave it to us, Scott," Cody shouted, dodging robot blasters fired from the rock ledge.

Ant-Man nodded and leapt from his Ant-Horse, landing on the B1 robot, whose arms were being torn off by an almost invisible force.

Wasp flies around several robots, repeatedly attacking them with her stinger, after immobilizing them, she then smashes the robots with her fists until they are reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

After growing larger, she turns around and shoots down a robot behind her, just as Ant-Man appears next to the Wasp.

"I can handle it," said the Wasp.

Ant-Man said seriously: "I know, but I'm worried."

The Wasp simply shook her head, amused by her lover's antics.

Kenobi and two clone troopers also managed to destroy several blaster cannons.

Cody was fighting on two different fronts, as the robots on the right were far more numerous than expected; his squad had already lost a dozen men, with the death toll growing as the robots advanced.

"Push forward," Cody ordered.

The Ghost team ran out from behind their cover and quickly launched an attack, and suddenly saw a very strange sight from the far end of the robot defense line, which caught their attention.

The B1 robots were thrown high into the air, and many of them were thrown into the canyon walls.

"...What is that?"

"I have no idea--"

A man wielding a blue lightsaber jumped down and began slashing at the robots left and right.

"Could it be... General Emma?" Woolley muttered with his eyes wide open.

Cody looked up to see the welcoming sight of clone troopers and armed Twi'leks rappelling down from either end of the cliff edge on ropes, firing at the droids.

A blur of blue and silver passed by them, leaving behind only a trail of destroyed robots.

"What the hell is that?"

The blurry figure stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The silver-haired young man looked up at the clone and said, "Hehe~ Sorry, we are late. It is not easy to cross the enemy-occupied area."

"Pietro?! Is that you?!"

Quicksilver turned around and saw a human-shaped cannonball coming at him quickly.

"Scott? Scott!" Quicksilver shouted happily, hugging Ant-Man tightly, "I can't believe it, you're here too?!"

"Pietro!"

Quicksilver looked up and saw the Wasp appear in front of him.

"Hope! You're here too?!"
