Master Boar Intrigue

## Premise

A Kung fu Master is taken hostage and tortured by Master Boar. Tai Lung, Sonic, Daniel, and Lady Wind Song devise a daring rescue plan, but they soon realize the Boar has a plan of his own.

## Synopsis

Boar' destroyer boards Master Storming Ox's flagship and Boar enters the ship with his boarding party, which included Arkeyan Defenders. The attackers kill most of Clone Captain Lock's clone troopers, but Ox, after ordering his men to the escape pods, manages to defend himself against the Arkeyan Defenders and Boar. Ox derides Boar as a coward and murderer, to which Boar retorts it is not murder to rid the Kung Fu Panda Wall of filth like the master. Though Ox holds his own for a while, Boar's Arkeyan Duelists soon join the battle, and Boar ultimately subdues Ox.

The masters in the Valley of Peace  receive a holo-transmission from Boar, in which he shows his victory over the master by having one of his Arkeyan Duelists torture Ox. Boar states that he does not care about the masters's politics, nor their Kung Fu Warriors, concluding that he lives only to see them all die. Chao and Clone Commander Wolffe notice a coded message made by Ox's hand gestures, which is decoded by Daniel, telling them that Boar' ship is in the Saleucami reserve. Daniel, Sonic, Tai Lung and  Lady Wind Song thus set out to rescue Storming Ox and to capture Boar. The ships under Daniel's command, including a light cruiser, three frigates and three cruisers, emerge from hyperspace when Boar is preparing to land on Saleucami, just as Boar expected. Boar warns his crew that where there is Daniel, there is also Tai Lung. The Kung Fu Warriors engages Boar' fleet, and a sky battle ensues. Daniel hails Boar, leaving Boar surmising that Daniel is here to bring him to justice as always. Boar pulls Daniel's cruiser in with a tractor beam, while Tai Lung, having received updated coordinates, comes out of hyperspace right alongside Boar' destroyer, and he, Sonic, Lady Wind Song, Captain Rex and a clone trooper squad break into the ship.

Daniel's ship is then boarded by Arkeyan Defenders. Daniel and Commander Cody fight Arkeyan Defenders first, then Daniel fights the Arkeyan Duelists and eventually Boar. Boar tells Daniel that he is aware of Tai Lung's concurrent rescue mission, and finally Boar and his Arkeyan droids overpower Daniel. Tai Lung, Sonic and  Lady Wind Song locate Koth captured in a containment field, but Boar's Arkeyan tactical droid, TV-94, was expecting them and summons Arkeyan Defenders. The tactical droid then sends electric waves through Ox, but the masters ultimately destroy the all the Arkeyan droids present and release Ox.

Meanwhile, the fight between Daniel and Boar continues, in which Daniel asks what Boar gains besides power, a mutilated body, and his place as Master Bear's errand boy. Grievous snarls that he's no errand boy, nor that he's in this war for Bear's politics. As Boar roars that he is now the leader of the most powerful Arkeyan droid army the Kung Fu Panda Wall has ever seen, Daniel asks what he intends to gain from being Boar of an army with no loyalty or spirit. Boar answers that he hopes to gain a future...a future where there are no more kung fu masters. Daniel's fire element pushes Boar into the window and gives him a chance to surrender, but Boar escapes.

Daniel informs Tai Lung, Sonic and Lady Wind Song, the latter of whom goes to intercept him while Tai Lung carries Ox to his shuttle. Boar, despite the two ships being attached still, gives orders to fire on the Kung fu Warriors light cruiser's engines and heads for his own ship. Cody and what's left of his men try to hold Boar, but Boar subdues them. In the docking tube, Daniel and Cody catches up to him, but Boar escapes again. Boar arrives at his destroyer, but there,  Lady Wind Song and Sonic engages him in a brief duel, before the docking tube is torn open, creating a powerful suction. Boar climbs aboard his ship using his metallic claws, and Lady Wind Song extends a cable to Cody, Sonic and Daniel, allowing them to get to safety. Tai Lung then picks up Daniel, Sonic, Lady Wind Song  and Cody in his shuttle from the destroyer's hangar.

Boar and his ship's infantry droids board a landing ship set for Saleucami, and the Kung Fu Warriors light cruiser eventually explodes. Unfortunately, a collision with shrapnel causes the landing ship to lose control and to fall fast towards Saleucami. Daniel then plans to descend onto Saleucami with Rex and Cody to look for Boar while Tai Lung and Sonic cleans up the space battle. When the rescue shuttle reaches the Resolute's hangar, Ox is grateful for the rescue despite saying that he would have given his life to bring Boar to justice. Tai Lung, however, says that they at least live to fight another day. Lady Wind Song then takes Ox to a medical frigate, and Daniel prepares his forces for the search on Saleucami.
