When Grievous arrived at his lair, he was ambushed and injured by the strike team, but he eventually managed to escape and reactivated his MagnaGuards. A group of droids then went outside Grievous's castle, and this one used a missile launcher to take out the strike force's Nu-class attack shuttle as well as two clone troopers, Niner and Bel, who were guarding the ship. The droids then attempted to destroy Kit Fisto's Aethersprite Interceptor, but astromech droidR6-H5 managed to fly it away in time.
