"Artoo, get out of the blast zone!"

Artoo beeped a string of insults that you would have yelled at him for if you weren't in a hurry.

"They're back!" Anakin called out as if it wasn't obvious the Separatists were making another attempt on the planet.

"I told you this victory was too easy. We never should have sent the ship back for supplies," Obi-Wan huffed.

"It wasn't my idea to send the ship back," Anakin snarked.

Rolling your eyes, you turned to Rex, Cody, and Drifter who were awaiting orders, "Second wave incoming. Cody and Drifter, battle positions."

"Rex, you and your men follow me," Anakin ordered, sprinting off to the forefront of the battle.

Whilst Anakin ran ahead, you and Obi-Wan sprinted to opposite sides of the cover your men were using to allow them more protection. Igniting your lightsaber, you immediately started deflecting the blasts that got too close for comfort.

Anakin if you're going to do something you better do it soon

Have a little faith, Master, I got this

From the sky, Anakin leaped onto one of the tanks, lighting up his saber and stabbing through the top. At his cue, several members of the 501st jumped down as well and began fighting.

Sharing a look with Obi-Wan, the two of you raised and brought down your lightsabers in synch- signaling a charge. While your men struggled to push forward and form a solid line, you ran ahead and cut down as many droids as possible to lessen their struggles. Cutting through metal had become almost therapeutic at this point as you knew each droid destroyed was one less to harm your soldiers.

"You seem to be having a good time," Obi-Wan quipped as you stood back to back and covered each other while making your way through a group of B-2 droids.

"Well, I have to have some fun somehow," you smirked, "We should move back to cover, we can't take those cannons ahead alone."

The two of you ran back and ducked behind one of the tanks Anakin had taken down. He'd be bragging about taking all three down on his own for days. It was insufferable just thinking about it.

"We're going to need reinforcements," Anakin jumped behind the tank and joined you two.

"We haven't been able to get through to the Admiral."
