(Rex/Obi, Kit/OC, Cody/OC-implied) In a second, anything can change. So, what changed to make things right? Well, wrong, in some cases... still, if something changes, what would happen if you couldn't do anything to change it? (some death implied and a smidge of violence)

"Duck!"

"Get down! Out of the way!"

Rex was just standing there, the chaos around him had dissolved away. It wasn't happening, right? Well, it shouldn't be happening. But there it was...

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano were being held captive. The first was unconscious, bleeding, and suspended in his capture. The second was still alive and breathing and swearing profusely at their captor. And the third... well, Ahsoka was swearing in her native tongue and shooting nasty glares at Grievous.

Rex didn't know what to do, really. He wasn't sure how to rescue them! But he still had to try, right?

"Captain Rex! Get down!"

He didn't move until he saw the laser coming for his head. He hit the deck and rolled onto his stomach. He raised his rifle and fired at the sniper. He watched the droid fall before he dove for cover near one of the barricades the other troopers had set up.

"Commander, what should we do?"

Cody just gave a shrug. "We have to get them back!"

Rex closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He still couldn't hear the sounds of the fight going on beyond his outer shell. He had to find something to anchor him back to reality, or else his platoon would fall prey to Grievous. Then he felt it.

"Captain, calm down. We'll get them back."

Rex looked over his shoulder. Someone had joined them, a Jedi Master.

She gave him a weak smile. There was a singe across her face. Other than that, she still resembled the same woman he'd met earlier. She reached out and touched Rex's shoulder. "We'll get them all back and we'll get back in one piece, even if it kills me."

"General-!"

She stood up and deflected a missile so it landed near a whole platoon of droids. "No time, come up with a plan and I'll do what I can to slow their progression! Hurry or we might not have another chance to save them!" She continued her deflection without her lightsaber, knocking away most of the material things and using her Force-powered moves to block some of the debris Asajj was throwing.

Rex took it in stride and looked at Cody. "I'll get them down, but someone's going to have to catch them."

"I'll give you the opening!" said the Jedi.

Rex took a few steps away from the block and started to fire his way through. Right behind him, he heard the hiss of the lightsaber stabbing through some material things, but he had to focus on his current mission; rescue and return.

"Captain! Take your route! I've got them under my eye!"

He understood her and jumped onto several places. The large building that was holding the three Jedi out as prizes on Grievous' little ledge.

"General Skywalker, General Insanguinata sent me to help you."

"Good o'l Jeera!" Anikin looked thankful, until they noticed smoke coming from the building below.

Rex quickly fired the laser and Anikin began to fall, quickly followed by Obi and then Ahsoka. The trio were falling and Rex didn't follow them right away. He had his arm stuck behind something. He noticed the smoke coming up from the building was getting thicker. Rex gritted his teeth. He was going to have to break his arm to get free or waste too much time trying to get free.

Rex was angling to pull his body away when he saw Insanguinata lunging up the side of the building towards him. There was a determination in her gem-like eyes. She vanished into the smoke and seemed to appear beside Rex. "General!" he said, startled.

"Hold on." She turned his head so it was against her shoulder before she used a droid blaster and took off the mechanical arm holding Rex down. When he began to fall, she dropped with him, using the Force to make it feel like less of a fall. "Commander Cody! Take out that tower! Take it down!" she commanded, holding onto Rex as he tried to catch his breath. "Stand up, soldier, we're going to take a quick sprint." She put her arm around his waist and the other on his chest.

Rex braced himself for a wind-breaking speed. She crouched down slightly, her trench coat sweeping along the dirt before she kicked off, holding Rex's head down. When she finally stopped, she set him down beside some of the medical crew. He couldn't hear her, but he knew she was saying something...

"How long?" demanded the caretaker.

"Long enough," Jeera said, her voice somewhat hoarse. "For now, worry about his firing arm. It was caught in one of Grievous' weapons."

"Jeera!"

She turned to Ahsoka and Anikin. "Padawan, Master, what's wrong?"

"We need more help on the front lines to give them time."

"Right," Jeera looked down at Rex, who was coming around from the Force-Run. "You'll be okay, trooper. Kenobi, Skywalker, and Tano are safe. Rest easy and heal well." She gave him a reassuring smile before he fell out of consciousness. She turned to the other two Jedi. "Come, let's do what we can to assist the clones."

Jeera clenched her jaw. 'I need to deal with you, Asajj.'
