"The shield generator is somewhere in this area. They're slowly increasing the diameter and keeping it just ahead of their troops." Obi-Wan explained as Athena tapped her chin.

"Rex? What chances would we have with penetrating that shield?"

"Heavy cannons are gonna be useless against that." Rex said as Athena sighed. "As they get closer, I suppose we could try to draw them into the buildings. That might level the playing field a bit."

"If that shield's gonna be such a problem, why don't we just take it out?" Ahsoka asked coming up behind both Obi-Wan and Anakin.

"Easier said than done." Rex stated as Athena nodded. "Yeah, I agree. According to this, there's a lot standing between that shield generator and us. Some that kills us instantly or slowly. None of which I want to experience."

"Well, I, for one, agree with her.." Anakin said, pointing at Ahsoka, which caused Athena, Shiva, and Ahsoka to look at him in surprise. "Someone has to get to the shield generator and destroy it. That's the key."

"Right, then. Maybe you two can tiptoe through the enemy lines and solve this particular problem together." Obi-Wan suggested with a smirk.

"Can do, Master Kenobi."

"I'll decide what we do." Anakin retorted as Athena shook her head. "Well, I am coming with you. Ready for a little fun, Shiva?"

"I always am, Master." Shiva said while smiling up at her Master.

"If Rex and I can engage them here, you two might have a chance to get through their lines undetected here."  Obi-Wan suggested as Athena nodded.

"They won't have much time. The droids far outnumber us, so our ability to street fight is limited without the use of heavy cannons. They will march forward under the protection of their shield until they are right on top of our cannons, then they'll blow them away." Rex explained, shaking his head.

"We'll figure out a way. Come on, Master, let's go." Ahsoka said as she walked away, Anakin following after her. "We better get going too, Master."

"Yeah. Obi-Wan, look out for my men, especially this one here." Athena said nodding to Rex with a smile on her face. "Will do, Athena. Off you go."

Athena shook her head before she walked away with her Padawan, leaving Rex with a slight blush running across his face.

"They..uh..make quite a pair, don't they, sir? You think they have a chance?" Rex asked, trying to hide his bashfulness as Obi-Wan looked back towards the hologram.

"They better. If they can't turn off that shield generator before it reaches the heavy cannons, there'll be no escape for any of us."

"So, what's the plan?" Ahsoka asked as she approached Anakin, standing at his side.

"Ha! I thought you were the one with the plan.." Anakin scoffed as Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "No, I'm the one with enthusiasm. You're the one with the experience, which I'm looking forward to learning from."

"Well, we need to get behind that shield. That's the first thing." They both heard as they turned to see Athena and Shiva approach them. "Then we need to get past their tank lines."

"Woah, Athena! You wore your tracksuit?" Anakin asked with a smirk as Athena rolled her eyes. "Yes, I did. I was about to run through that shield in my skirt. Bad enough it's tattered. I still need it."

Athena wore her blue corset with sleeves and had her black leggings which she always wore under her skirt, and her scarf which had her two lightsabers hooked to it.

"Well, glad you did because here they come." Anakin said before he went back to looking at his scopes. "Why not just go around? Outflank them?"

"That'd take too long."

"Sneak through the middle, then?" Ahsoka asked while pointing to the middle. "Impossible. Unless you can turn yourself..into..a droid."

"Alright, you win. My first lesson will be to wait while you come up with an answer." Ahsoka said with a smirk as Anakin perked his head up.

"Well, the wait's over. I got a plan."
