Mission to Ruul ( Clone Wars ) Investigating reports of defecting Jedi , Mace Windu headed on a Mission to Ruul . Prelude . In the aftermath of the Battle of Lianna , the Jedi present ; Yoda and Mace Windu ; received a report from Tholme and Quinlan Vos regarding dissident Jedi who had refused to participate in the Clone Wars . The four leaders of the dissidents ( Sian Jeisel , K ' Kruhk , Rhad Tarn and Mira ) had been united by Sora Bulq and had gathered on Ruul at Bulq ' s deteriorating family estate . They agreed to a meeting , but requested the presence of one of the Council members who could speak for the entire body , specifically Mace Windu . Windu decided to go . During the presentation of the report , Windu and Quinlan Vos engaged in a sparring match . However , towards the end of the mock duel , Windu advised Vos not to hold back . This spurred Vos to unleash a vicious maneuver that Windu recognized as a Vaapad technique , prompting him to bring a quick end to the sparring session . When questioned about it , Vos claimed it was a maneuver taught to him by Sora Bulq during his retraining , although Bulq said nothing about Vaapad . Before Windu left for Ruul , Yoda advised him to look at Bulq with a ' child ' s eye ' , free from preconception . Windu agreed to meditate on this . The Mission . The Meeting . Mace Windu arrived on Ruul at night two days later , and was greeted by Sora Bulq , who claimed he had joined the dissidents out of grief over the death of so many Jedi at the battle of Geonosis , feeling that the preservation of the Republic was not worth their deaths . However , he stated that he had not made up his mind one way or the other , and said he would simply listen and meditate . When questioned by Windu about Quinlan Vos ' knowledge of Vaapad , Bulq claimed he had trained Vos in the basics of Vaapad as a test , and when Vos passed it , Bulq went no further . Windu shortly met with K ' Kruhk and Sian Jeisel , the former meditating under a waterfall , the latter clearing a path to the main house of the estate with her lightsaber . They were shortly joined by Bulq , who was accompanied by Rhad Tarn and his former padawan , Mira . As they began their meeting , Rhad Tarn quickly took the extremist position , advocating that the Jedi join the Confederacy , whereas Mira claimed the middle ground , favoring diplomacy . When questioned about his position , Bulq quietly sided with Tarn , in contradiction of his earlier statements to Windu . As the meeting adjourned , the Jedi departed to rest and meditate , while Windu followed Bulq to the main house , questioning him about his change of position . Bulq simply said that his mind and his heart were full and went to walk the paths of the estate to think . Bidding Windu good night , he departed . Asajj Ventress ' intervention . As he strolled about the estate , Bulq was suddenly ambushed by Asajj Ventress . While the two fought , Mira spoke with Jeisel before strolling about herself , saying she felt uneasy . As she walked about , she stumbled upon the battle between Ventress and Bulq , just in time to see Bulq brought down by a light cut to the throat . Calling out to the other Jedi , she attacked Ventress , telekinetically hurling a flurry of rocks at the Dark Jedi as she leapt at her . Ventress easily held off Mira , and delivered a mortal wound to the Jedi even as Bulq warned her to flee . With that , the other Jedi arrived and attacked Ventress , though the Dark Jedi easily held off their assault . When Mace arrived and demanded Ventress ' identity , Ventress broke off from the duel and replied " I am your humble servant , Mace Windu . I trust you ’ re pleased . " She promptly disappeared , her task of confusing the Jedi accomplished . Rhad Tarn quickly accused Windu of having brought the assassin with him , as no ship can land on Bulq ' s estate without Bulq being aware of it , and Windu ' s ship was the last to arrive . Windu denied this and left to find and deal with the assassin . After Windu left , Rhad remained convinced that the assassin was in league with Windu and followed the Jedi master , hoping to find proof of this . As Rhad ran off in pursuit , Bulq told K ' Kruhk and Jeisel to follow him while he took Mira ' s body back to the house . During his search for Ventress , Windu found the Dark Jedi ' s ship , and had a sudden realization . After the Jedi master departed , Rhad stumbled upon the scene . Demanding that Ventress reveal herself , the Dark Jedi obliged , attacking Rhad . As they battled , Ventress taunted and goaded the young Jedi , causing the already fiery Jedi to become consumed with rage , blinding his reason . Ventress took advantage of this and encouraged Rhad to call on his rage , managing to turn the Jedi to the dark side of the Force . When asked to join Ventress , Rhad extinguished his lightsaber and accepted . With that , Jeisel and K ' Kruhk arrived , pleading with Rhad not to listen to her , but it was too late . Stating that he was not weak and would not be a Republic pawn , Rhad reignited his lightsaber and attacked them alongside Ventress . Revelation . Meanwhile , Bulq arrived at the main house , laying Mira ' s body on a stone slab and apologizing to her inert form . Suddenly he was confronted by Mace Windu . Windu revealed that he had realized that Bulq was in league with Ventress , as no ship could land on Bulq ' s estate without him being aware of it , so Bulq had to know about Ventress ' ship . Windu went on and mentioned Bulq ' s change of opinion during the meeting and stated that by looking at Sora Bulq with a ' child ' s eyes ' , he realized that Bulq had turned to the Dark Side . Bulq didn ' t deny it , and the two produced their lightsabers . Bulq revealed that during their development of Vaapad , he had become fascinated by the Dark Side and had secretly delved into it . He also revealed that after the Battle of Geonosis , which had disgusted Bulq , he was approached by Dooku . Stating that the Sith Lord had shown him that the Republic would only change if the Jedi made that change , i . e , took over the Republic . He planned on using the dissident Jedi to start a schism and get more Jedi to join the Confederacy . But Windu ' s revelation had resulted in a change of plan . Now Bulq planned on killing all the Jedi in addition to Windu and claim that Windu attempted to kill them . Because of his influence in the Order , many Jedi would believe him and he would still get his schism . Windu quickly pointed out that he was not dead yet . Bulq simply said that this would be soon corrected and attacked his former friend . As the two engaged in a frenzy of Vaapad fueled swordplay , Windu stated that it was a mistake to expose Bulq to Vaapad . Bulq countered with his belief that he had perfected Vaapad , harnessing all that was inherent in it . Believing himself to be a master of the style , Bulq believed that Windu could not defeat him , just as the other Jedi could not defeat Asajj Ventress . As they fought , Bulq and Windu felt the death and pain , prompting Bulq to state that with their inevitable deaths , it didn ' t matter which of them won , Windu had ultimately lost . Windu agreed with this , and brought a swift end to their duel , slamming Bulq against the wall and causing a number of rocks to fall on the surprised duelist . Windu quickly departed to save the others . Fight and Flight . Sadly , Bulq ' s prediction seemed to be coming true ; with Rhad Tarn ' s aid , Ventress was easily holding off the Jedi . While Ventress battled K ' Kruhk , Jeisel was viciously driven back by an enraged Tarn , despite her pleas . Tarn seemingly defeated Jeisel with a massive Force Push , disarming the hapless Devaronian . Stating that he had chosen his path , just as he has chosen to kill her , Rhad brought his lightsaber to Jeisel ' s throat and prepared to finish her . Suddenly Jeisel retrieved her lightsaber and ignited it into Rhad ' s torso , bringing the fallen Jedi ' s life to a tragic close . As Jeisel finished Rhad , K ' Kruhk and Ventress fought . As K ' Kruhk expressed his desire to spare Ventress ' life , the Dark Jedi scoffed at it , bringing the Whiphid down by slamming her lightsaber hilt across his head . Jeisel then attacked Ventress , attempting to save K ' Kruhk . However , Ventress easily fended off her attack , kicking the Jedi aside . Turning to K ' Kruhk , she raised her blade to finish him . However , at that moment , Windu arrived , attacking Ventress , prompting the Dark Jedi to join her twin lightsabers into a double - bladed lightsaber . However , despite her skill with the weapon , she was unable to compete with Windu . Driven to the cliff edge , she turned and leapt off it . . . onto the back of a hovering droid that spirited her away . As K ' Kruhk and Jeisel regained their feet , Windu explained that Bulq was in league with Ventress , their earlier fight being a sham . Their skepticism was quickly erased when they were attacked by Sora Bulq ' s droids . Fighting their way to Windu ' s ship , the survivors made their escape . Aftermath . After they escaped , Windu resolved to speak with the dissident Jedi represented by K ' Kruhk , Jeisel , Tarn and Mira , and let them know the truth , and warn them about the danger posed by Sora Bulq . After that , Windu said the dissident Jedi could make their own choice on the matter . K ' Kruhk decided to return to the temple , and stated that he would encourage others to do the same . Believing Sora Bulq to be evil , he saw that which Bulq served to be evil , so it must be opposed . Sian Jeisel remained unsure of what to do , saying she would not join the Separatists , after what Bulq had done , but still held objections against the Republic . With the failure of his scheme to discredit Mace Windu , and his subsequent loss of cover , Sora Bulq lost his potential as a double - agent . His retraining of Quinlan Vos was also called into question . However , the Separatists gained a fully capable new minion .
