Plot Summary

SAVING VOS
Jedi Master captured! In a desperate move to end Count Dooku's reign of terror towards the galaxy, the Jedi Council sent Master Quinlan Vos to team up with former Sith Assassin turned Bounty Hunter Asajj Ventress in hopes to assassinate the count once and for all.

Unfortunately, after the assassinate attempt, the plan ultimately backfired, causing Vos to be captured by Dooku, and sending Ventress on the run. 

Within the Count's homeworld of Serenno, Vos has been put in a state of solitary confinement, to await his ultimate fate…

Saving Vos Part 1

Months since the Mission to Raxus, in Separatist captivity, Quinlan Vos was transported to Serenno. There, he was locked in a cell where he was tortured by Count Dooku, who also intended to complete Vos' journey to the dark side. Back in the Jedi Temple, Vos' Jedi colleagues became worried about his safety and feared that he had perished or strayed from the light side. Meanwhile, Asajj Ventress traveled to Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina on Tatooine where she enlisted the support of several bounty hunters including Boba Fett, Bossk, Latts Razzi, C-21 Highsinger, and Embo for a mission to rescue Quinlan. Back on Serenno, Dooku managed to turn Vos against Ventress by revealing a hologram showing that she had murdered his late Master Tholme. Dooku's version of events was confirmed when Vos used his psychometric abilities to touch Tholme's lightsaber.

Shortly later, Asajj and her bounty hunter allies arrived on Serenno to rescue Quinlan Vos. As part of their plan, the bounty hunters staged a diversion by attacking Dooku's battle droids. Meanwhile, Ventress made her way into Dooku's palace where she encountered a vengeful Vos in his cell. Enraged at Ventress for lying about her role in his master's murder, Vos attacked the Nightsister with his lightsaber. Ventress tried to reason with her former disciple by telling him not to let the dark side dominate him and reminding him about their mission to kill Dooku. Unable to rescue Vos, Ventress was forced to retreat with her bounty hunter confederates. As they left, she caught a glimpse of Vos walking with Dooku, showing that he had become Dooku's newest Sith apprentice.

Distraught, Ventress traveled back to Coruscant where she informed Obi-Wan Kenobi about Quinlan's fall to the dark side.

Saving Vos Part 2

Struggling to cope with Quinlan's rejection, Ventress turned to alcohol. Meanwhile, Vos became Dooku's new right-hand man in the Separatist hierarchy and gained the nickname "Admiral Enigma." At some point, Asajj was contacted by Quinlan's Jedi comrade Desh, who had been dispatched by Kenobi to bring her to a Jedi Council meeting to discuss the matter of rescuing Vos from the Separatists.

The Jedi Council had obtained intelligence that "Admiral Enigma" was last sighted on a Providence-class dreadnought. In return for recovering Quinlan, the Jedi offered to pardon her for her crimes against them and the Republic. The inclusion of Asajj was controversial among some of the Jedi, particularly Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker. However, Kenobi and Yoda stood up for her. Ventress agreed to the deal and took part in the rescue mission. Following a struggle with Dooku and his battle droids, Ventress and the Jedi rescue team managed to free Vos from his cell in the brig. Ventress found an emaciated and half-naked Vos hanging from a set of shackles.

While Vos' Jedi companions were relieved to rescue their comrade, Asajj had seen Vos' eyes flash with fury and realized that he had fully embraced the dark side. Ventress attempted to attack her former lover but was restrained by Kenobi. After freeing Vos, Ventress and the Jedi escaped the Separatist dreadnought aboard her starship Banshee. After returning to the Jedi Temple, Ventress was formally pardoned of her crimes by Yoda. However, this news was bittersweet for Asajj since none of the Jedi believed that Vos had changed sides with the Separatists. Vos attempted to reconcile with Ventress but she rebuffed him.

Meanwhile, Skywalker discussed his suspicions about Ventress with his secret wife Padmé Amidala. Still suspicious of the former Dark Sider, he suggested that Ventress had seduced Vos to the dark side and expressed skepticism that she was capable of showing love.

Traitor

While Quinlan Vos' Jedi comrades debate in private whether he has succumbed to the dark side, Vos and his Jedi comrades take part in a mission to steal medication, weapons, foodstuffs, and ship-repair parts from a Separatist asteroid base. For this mission, Vos is accompanied by his friend Akar-Deshu, Kenobi, Skywalker, and the Clone Commander Cody. However, the Separatists had already booby-trapped the asteroid with explosives. Vos and his Jedi and Republic comrades managed to escape but all the supplies are destroyed. Following the failed mission, Vos meets up with Asajj Ventress in a Coruscant bar where he affirms his love for her and forgives her for killing Master Tholme. He promises to formalize his relationship with her after helping the Jedi to destroy Count Dooku.

Later, Quinlan takes part in a mission with Kenobi, Skywalker, and Cody to destroy a Separatist listening post by Vanqor. However, upon arriving there, they discover that the station had already been abandoned. Meanwhile, Desh visited the site of the former Separatist asteroid base and discovered evidence that there was a traitor within the Jedi ranks leaking information to the Separatists. Suspecting that these two incidents are no coincidence, Yoda arranged for a private meeting with Vos and was able to sense that he had indeed fallen to the dark side. Yoda discusses his findings with his fellow members of the Jedi Council, who hatch a plan to test Vos' allegiance by sending him on a mission to kill Count Dooku. Kenobi is instructed to watch over Vos and execute him if his true loyalties are revealed.

After receiving his assignment, Vos informs Ventress about his new mission to kill Count Dooku. After some arguing, Vos agrees to allow Ventress to accompany him. At the Jedi Council briefing, the Council agreed to allow Ventress to accompany Vos on his mission after she revealed that Dooku would be traveling to Christophsis on a Separatist dreadnought. Together, Vos and Ventress travel on the Banshee to Christophsis where they discovered Dooku's dreadnought among the Separatist fleet. Meanwhile, Skywalker and Kenobi tail Vos from a captured Separatist shuttle and managed to infiltrate Dooku's dreadnought. After boarding the dreadnought with the help of reprogrammed battle droids, the two Jedi witness Vos engaging Dooku in a lightsaber duel.

However, Vos fails to kill the Count and instead forces Dooku to lead him to his mysterious master, Darth Sidious. Realizing that their suspicions about Vos' loyalties have been confirmed, Skywalker and Kenobi have little choice but to arrest Vos and Dooku. After capturing the two Dark Siders, Kenobi and Skywalker bring their prisoners to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Vigilance. Despite Commander Cody's best efforts to secure the prisoners, Vos tricks Desh into approaching him and steals his lightsaber. He then uses it to free himself and Dooku. During their escape, Vos killed his former friend Desh and the Chagrian Jedi Knight Kav Bayons. Vos and Dooku then escaped with Ventress aboard the Banshee.

The Path

Ventress attempted to land the Banshee on Dooku's dreadnought but the Vigilance gives chase and succeeds in damaging the ship. As a result, Ventress is forced to crash-land the Banshee on Christophsis. Kenobi, Skywalker, and several Clone troops probe the wreckage of the Banshee and deduced that the fugitives have survived. Meanwhile Ventress, Vos, and the seriously wounded Dooku navigate across the crystal-covered landscape of Christophsis to reach a nearby Separatist base. Kenobi secretly contacts Ventress and informs the former Nightsister about Vos' fall. He also instructs her to convince Quinlan to surrender or they will kill him. When Ventress confronts Vos about this revelation, he convinced her that he is close to completing his mission but does not disclose its goal. Meanwhile, Windu orders Kenobi and Skywalker to execute the fugitives.

Ventress, Vos, and Dooku finally arrive at the Separatist base built into a giant crystal pillar. There, they receive word that Darth Sidious wants to talk with his apprentice Dooku. During the brief hologram conversation, Dooku pleaded with his master to send a ship to Christophsis to evacuate him. However, Vos fails to learn about Darth Sidious' true identity. Shortly later, the Separatist base is bombarded by Republic Clone troopers and BTL-B Y-wing fighter-bombers. Despite Windu's orders, Kenobi still insists on getting the fugitives out unharmed. Despite Anakin's objections, the former Master and apprentice venture into the Separatist base to find Vos and Dooku.

During the Republic bombardment, Ventress is badly wounded by the artillery fire and falling debris. Vos helps his wounded lover up as they attempt to follow Dooku and complete his mission. Meanwhile, Anakin and Kenobi order a ceasefire in order to sneak into the fortress and kill Dooku. Back in the fortress, Ventress confronted Quinlan about his fall to the dark side and alignment with Dooku. After some hesitance, Vos confessed that this was true. Shortly later, Dooku attacks Vos with Force lightning. However, in a selfless act of sacrifice, Asajj shoved Vos away and took the full force of Dooku's attack. Dooku then attempts to goad Quinlan into killing him but Vos refuses to give into the dark side and affirms that he is Jedi. While Vos reconciles with Ventress in her final moments, Dooku takes the opportunity to escape.

Following the events on Christophsis, Quinlan Vos surrendered to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who brought him back to Coruscant. There, in the presence of the Jedi Council, Vos confessed that he had embraced the dark side and joined Count Dooku in order to use Dooku to get to Darth Sidious, and thus eliminate the two Sith Lords once and for all. He accepted responsibility for all the crimes and damage he had committed under Dooku's service and for killing his two Jedi comrades Desh and Bayons and the clone troopers aboard the Vigilance. Vos also defended the late Asajj Ventress for bringing him back to the light and giving her life to save him from Dooku.

During the hearing, Kenobi spoke out that it was folly for the Jedi Council to have considered using the tactic of assassination to eliminate Count Dooku since it only led one close to the dark side. He also defended Ventress as a "friend" of the Jedi. Following the proceedings, Vos was pardoned for his crime against the Jedi and the Republic. Kenobi also accompanied Vos to Dathomir to bury Ventress. Together, the two Jedi laid the Nightsister to rest in a dark pool near the abandoned Nightsisters' village. As Ventress' body entered the waters, the pool turned green.

A short while later, as Darth Maul was exploring Dathomir, he finds Ventress's lightsaber on the ground.
