On the snow planet of Ilum, an meteorite fell down on the surface of the world. An chameleon droid got out of the crater it had made, scanning the area with its eye as it spotted the sacred Jedi temple that was in the distance in the blowing snow. It walked up from the crater.

Meanwhile, in the temple, an female Jedi was instructing her Padawan.

"The crystal is the heart of the blade." An hand had the hilt of an lightsaber as the Padawan used the Force to slowly get the blue crystal toward the hilt. "The heart is the crystal of the Jedi. The Jedi is the crystal of the Force. The Force is the blade of the heart. The crystal. The blade. The Jedi. You are one."

The Padawan held her lightsaber as she activated it, revealing its blue saber. "I thank you for your lesson, Master Luminara." She bowed her head in thanks to Luminara.

"You have always the crystal and the heart of the blade." Luminara told her Padawan. "Your training is complete." She, too, bowed her head a little before looking back up in determination. "Something's trespassing on our sacred ground. The temple is breached." She activated her green lightsaber.

Meanwhile, more chameleon droids was planting bombs on the temple's walls and roof before beeping as they vanished from sight as the two Jedi walked up the walkway to where the droids had been.

"I sense a presence," the Padawan, Bariss Offee, said. "Yet, I don't see anything."

"They are here." Luminara replied. Just then, they felt something behind them as they slashed the chameleon droids in half. The pushed it with the Force as it exploded into pieces.

Two more droids appeared behind the two, as the droids began firing at them but they deflected the blasts simultaneously like the other. The Jedi jumped up before getting hit.

The two landed on the ground, before running to the sides as two more droids were behind them like before. Jumping up the walls of the temple, Luminara cut the heads off two chameleon droids that hung upside down from the roof.

Luminara landed on the walkway, cutting an droid in half as it exploded into pieces before she cut the other two droids in halves as well.

Bariss had jumped through the air as she deflected the blasts of the chameleon droids. She used the Force to make the droids' ground crumple down to the bottom of the temple.

Landing where the droids was, Bariss deflected more shots from two more chameleon droids. Continuing deflecting the blasts, Bariss used the Force to make the roof above the droids to crumple down above them, making them be destroyed into pieces by the rocks.

Getting into a twin-like fighting stance, both Bariss and her master cut down two more droids as well as two others. Luminara grabbed the planted bombs as she planted them on three droids instead, causing them to explode into pieces.

Bariss deflected some shots from an droid, doing the same as her master, as the droid exploded into pieces.

Deflecting more fire from the droids, both Bariss and Luminara looked up to the top of the temple as the planted bombs began to trigger and explode, causing the rock roof to fall down onto the ground.

The two master and student, however, used the Force to stop the rocks from falling on them unlike the unfortunate droids. Struggling briefly, Bariss looked over to her sitting master as she, too, sat on the ground, concentrating on holding the rocks from falling on them.

In space, an starship was flying through the darkness. Inside the ship, Yoda opened his eyes as he began to say to himself.

"To Ilum, we must go."

"Absolutely not." The captain of the ship objected, as Yoda had just told them of his plan of rescuing two struggling Jedi he had sensed through the Force. "You cannot risk the Senator's life like this. Milady, I must protest."

"Hm. Very short time there is, Senator." Yoda said to her. "Our only hope is to rescue Jedi. To Ilum we must go. Now."

"This is not an rescue ship," the captain reminded the Grand Jedi Master. "There are more depression missions, Master Yoda."

"Slight detour," Yoda tried again. "But deny the mission, I will not."

"Slight detour," the captain repeated himself. "But deny the mission, I will not."

Padmé looked surprised, but smiled down to Yoda.

"Be put in danger, the Senator will not." Yoda continued to use the technique.

"Be put in danger, the Senator will not." The captain repeated.

"Save the lives of Jedi, we must." Yoda said, determined.

"Save the lives of Jedi, we must." The captain repeated, also determined.

"Master Yoda," Padmé said, convinced. "I am convinced. I will not require my captain's further persuasions."

"Huh?" the captain rubbed his head, confused, whilst Yoda smiled, pleased.

"Captain," she said. "Take the ship to Ilum."

"Yes, milady," grumbled the captain.

"Ilum?" C-3PO said to Artoo. "But, that's the planet on the other side of the system." Artoo just bleeped in response, going to the walking people. "A slight detour? Well, actually, I do have more important places."

On the icy planet of Ilum, the ship had just landed as the platform was stretched onto the surface of the planet.

"Stay on the ship, you must." Yoda told Padmé that was about to follow him. "Much danger, I sense."

"Master Yoda," she said, kneeling down to his height. "I can't let you go out there alone."

"Yet, alone, I must be." Yoda replied. "For the rescue to succeed." Padmé looked to the side, defeated. Yoda gave an small shocked expression before saying, "Call you I will, if assistance I require." The Senator smiled at him.

Walking off, Yoda was a few yards away from the ship before disappearing into the snowstorm of Ilum.

Yoda was still walking through the snowstorm, until he stopped as he sensed something approaching. He was near the sacred Jedi temple on the icy planet.

Sensing droids behind him, Yoda activated his lightsaber as he began to slash the legs of an chameleon droid that was about to fire at him. He sped around as he cut down several more chameleon droids.

Cutting four more droids down, Yoda quickly jumped as the underside of an chameleon droid nearly killed him. It began to look around to find the Jedi Master, but he was behind its head on top of it. He cut the head off with his green lightsaber, jumping to the ground as the droid exploded into pieces.

Yoda landed safely on the ground, before more droids surrounded him as they appeared. Readying his lightsaber, Yoda started his cutting of the droids as he ran through them as the droids fell to the ground, destroyed or unable to work any longer.

An droid was in front of him, but Yoda deflected its fire as jumped on its head as he looked behind him quickly, seeing more droids running up to him as they artillery fired at him. Yoda deflected the blasts from the droids, jumping up in time before the head of the droid he was on was shot off the droid's body parts.

Yoda landed down from the cliff the Jedi Master was at, before looking back up as he concentrated his Force power to the mountain above the cliff. Struggling a bit, Yoda managed to create an rockslide of snow that destroyed the droids on the cliff he had jumped from.

Looking behind to the temple, Yoda walked towards it as he stopped inside the sacred temple as he saw rocks and crystals on the ground. Surprised for a bit, Yoda began to use the Force to grab the rocks to push it up and to the side.

Using the scope to see that the Grand Jedi Master hasn't returned, Padmé was beginning to worry for him.

"I have a bad feeling about this." She said. "Master Yoda has been gone for too long. I should never had let him go alone."

"He's a Jedi Master, milady," her captain told her. "He's quite capable of handle whatever is out there."

"Master Yoda did assure you, he will contact you if he required help." C-3PO reminded her. Artoo bleeped in response to what 3PO said. "Never alone in an uncharted planet is an common place for a Jedi, but you would not mess with them. Miss Padmé is safe where she is."

Artoo bleeped in answer, but Padmé began to agree with 3PO.

"3PO's right, Artoo." She told the blue astromech droid.

"I'll check on the communication array," Typho told Padmé, before walking back inside the starship.

"Artoo," Padmé suddenly said to the droid. "Does this weather affects your sensors?" Artoo bleeped in response.

"Artoo says, 'not in the slightest'." 3PO translated to her. "Or, so he says."

"Good." Padmé was pleased. "I'll check on Master Yoda."

"Alone?" 3PO asked in wonder.

"No." The Senator replied. "You two will accompany me."

Walking through the blizzard, the trio was going through an area with a few mountain ranges. Suddenly, Artoo stopped as Padmé looked at him in concern.

"What is it, Artoo?" she asked him. He just bleeped in answer.

"Artoo says, there are multiple objects coming this way." 3PO translated him to the Senator.

"Where?" Padmé demanded, looking at the blizzard...just as some red laser blasts was fired at them. The trio took cover behind an mountain close to them, causing the fire to stop. Padmé peeked around her hiding place, before getting an idea as she looked at her white coat.

She threw it out to the open area, causing the invincible chameleon droids to open fire at it. Padmé fired at the invincible objects, destroying them in the process.

"Gotcha." She smiled, pleased. Artoo bleeped once more.

"Artoo says, there are two more." 3PO translated to her.

"Two more?" Padmé repeated, before getting another idea. "Uh, 3PO, could you get my coat?"

"Of course, miss Padmé." 3PO was clueless about being a bait, as he walked over to the white coat before picking it up just as the droids fired at him.

"I must be insane." 3PO told himself, just as the droids revealed to him.

Padmé pressed the button on the detonator in her hand, before throwing it at the chameleon droids, which exploded, causing them to be destroyed, with 3PO covered in snow.

"Help! Help!" 3PO shouted. "I better be alive!"

Padmé walked up and knelt beside him. "Thanks, 3PO." She took her coat back on as 3PO struggled more.

"Of course, miss Padmé." 3PO just said in respond.

Artoo bleeped again, though not an warning.

"What is it, Artoo, more droids?" Padmé questioned.

"Oh no!" 3PO yelled from his buried body in snow.

Padmé aimed at the blizzard where Artoo was looking at...before lowering her pistol as she saw Yoda walking out of the blizzard with Barriss and Luminara.

"Master Yoda!" She said in joy, running up and knelt in front of the green alien Jedi Master."I'm so glad you're okay."

"Successful, my mission was." Yoda replied. "Safe, the Jedi are." He gazed down with closed eyes. "But, pain is in my heart."

"What's the matter, Master Yoda?" Padmé asked, worried.

"Nearly destroyed, the temple was." Yoda answered. "Revealed its secret location is, but by whom, I do not know."

Artoo patched into one of the fallen droids' circus, before revealing an hologram of the Sith Lord, Count Dooku.

"You'll find the temple on Ilum." The hologram ordered the droids. "Destroy it." Then it stopped, clicking into the mind of Yoda.

"Dooku." Yoda only said, sharpening his eyes at where the holographic of Dooku was earlier.
