Following the duel and combat engagement with Durge, General Kenobi swiftly navigates through the urban environment. He then ascends the side of a building on his speeder bike, arriving at the command tower to rendezvous with The Muunilinst 10. Captain Fordo confirms their readiness, prompting Kenobi to declare, "Let's bring this battle to a close." Within their command center, San Hill and other representatives of the InterGalactic Banking Clan observe the ongoing assault via a holographic display. The troops, spearheaded by Kenobi, breach the roof of the structure using explosives. They then descend into the room, swiftly eliminating all droids present. Three droidekas advance, but Kenobi promptly neutralizes them by deflecting their projectiles and employing saber throw. Fordo announces the capture of San Hill, who desperately pleads for his life. Kenobi extends an offer to spare Hill's life in exchange for an unconditional surrender. Before Hill can respond, a regenerated Durge crashes through the tower window into the room using a jetpack. However, the ARC troopers quickly subdue him with blasters and a missile launcher. Amidst the chaos, Hill seeks refuge beneath the situation table.
Assuming Durge to be deceased, the troopers approach the smoking crater, only to be repelled by a massive arm seemingly composed of pure muscle. Durge emerges from the crater, his armor and gloves (excluding his helmet) having been destroyed, revealing his true Gen'Dai form. He immediately assaults Kenobi, forcing the Jedi onto the situation table, which Durge shatters with his bare hands. Suddenly, all the clones in the room deploy grappling hooks at Durge, aiming to restrain him while they bombard him with blaster fire.
The blaster fire proves ineffective, and Durge effortlessly tears the lines from the wall, causing the clones to fall. Charging towards Kenobi, Durge engulfs Obi-Wan, using his body's tentacles to absorb him. The ARC Captain, Fordo, fires a wire at Durge and sends electricity through it, hoping to fry Durge. This only succeeds in enraging the Gen'Dai, who charges Fordo.
However, before Durge can kill him, Durge suddenly bloats to a massive size and explodes—throwing the Gen'Dai's remains all over the room. Apparently, Kenobi had used the Force to push outward and destroy Durge's body from the inside out. Commenting on how much of a 'mess' he has made, Kenobi turns back to Hill, who surrenders. As the troopers lead San Hill away, Kenobi picks up Durge's helmet - unnoticed by the Jedi Master, the Gen'Dai's pulverized remains slither away.
