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 took out the strike force's Nu-class attack shuttle, as well as two clone troopers, Niner and Bel, who guarded the ship. The droids then attempted to destroy Kit Fisto's Aethersprite Interceptor, but astromech droidR6-H5 managed to fly it away. This droid clung onto the ship as it took off, but R6 then performed a series of aerial maneuvers which caused the droid to loose it's grip. The droid then fell off the starship and down to the rocky bottom where it was destroyed.
