At Banvhar Station , Rini reports that their Trade Federation probe droids have found General Grievous on the moon Belsus in the Anoat system , and that lifeform readings are very low there . The probe droids fly towards Grievous , as Flynn Kybo heads back to the " Cohasset Rover " , determined to confront Grievous himself . On Belsus , the General speaks with a Neimoidian from the Trade Federation , who is pleased with the Ugnaughts ' work in retooling the Geonosian droid factories . All of a sudden , the probe droids attack Grievous and quickly dispatch his B1 entourage . Grievous is able to destroy them nearly just as quickly . Grievous suspects the Federation or Dooku has betrayed him , and ensures the Neimoidian that he will die if the former is the case . Deep under the ground of Belsus , Banz , Allara and the other Padawans are hard at work trying to open their prison door with the Force . They aren ' t having much luck , when suddenly an Ugnaught busts his way through the ground and tells them to come with him . Back on Banvhar Station , Rini informs Flynn that he was right not to be confident in the probots , for they were easily destroyed by Grievous . Flynn is concerned that all they ' ve accomplished is alert Grievous to their interest in him . B ' dard Tone arrives with the entire miner population of Banvhar Station ( and CB - 3D ) , all of them ready to attack Grievous on Belsus . Meanwhile , Commander Vulpus of the CIS arrives on Belsus in a blue and purple " Ginivex " - class starfighter . General Grievous welcomes him and asks him the reason for the visit . Vulpus assures the General that he is but an observer . Grievous leads him into the factories on Belsus , more specifically the droid skeleton being made for one lucky Padawan , one very similar to his own . Grievous then takes the Commander to the Padawans ' cell . . . which contains nothing but a gaping hole in the floor . As the Padawans follow the Ugnaught through his tunnel in the ground , Allara senses that they are being trailed themselves . Indeed , as a squad of battle droids have entered the tunnel and discovered the young Jedi with little difficulty . The General orders them to kill them , but the tunnel collapses under the droids , allowing the Padawans to escape once more . Commander Vulpus says he must inform Count Dooku , but Grievous stops him with a lightsaber mere centimeters from his throat . Vulpus reminds Grievous that if he were to kill him , the repercussions of such an act would kill himself as well . Grievous reluctantly sheaths his lightsaber , and Vulpus decides not to tell Dooku of what just happened . Over Belsus , the " Cohasset " is piloted by the torsos of two B - 1 battle droids , being remotely controlled out of view by Rini . He transmits the necessary codes , and begins docking on Belsus . Rini suddenly picks up comm chatter from Belsus about Padawans ; Flynn becomes nervous , but Rini specifies that there are Padawans on Belsus , hostages of General Grievous , that have escaped . Those very Padawans arrive at an Ugnaught homestead , hidden away from most of the moon . Grievous suddenly arrives through the tunnel with lightsabers blazing , promising to kill all of them . . .
