Obi-Wan was trying to contact the cruisers that left to get supplies, but it seemed there was a solar storm that cut off the connection. Anakin tried to reboot the system to see if that would work. Ruby meanwhile was simply watching them waiting for anything to happen. She got what she wanted as explosions were heard from the front lines. "Not good" Anakin said as he ran towards the source, Obi-Wan and Ruby followed behind. When they got to the front lines they could see more droids advancing.
"There back!" he yelled.
"I told you this victory was too easy we never should've sent the ship back for supplies" Obi-Wan said.
"It wasn't my idea to send the ship back"
"Alright men second wave incoming"
"Rex you and your men follow me"
"Cody battle positions"
Ruby noticed a booster pack used by the jet troopers on the ground. She wrapped her cape around her neck some more and put on the pack making sure her cape wouldn't burn, with her sniper in her hands she boosted up a building on the front line before Obi-Wan could tell her what to do "Ruby yo-" was all he said as he saw Ruby went off on her own 'just like Anakin' he thought then took a position in front of the line of troopers. As they got closer Obi-Wan signaled the troops to fire and a barrage of blue lasers shot in a line as the clones fired back at the advancing droids. Ruby took aim and could see Tri-droids advancing behind the infantry. She shot three times each shot took out a super battle droid. Then she saw Skywalker and the jet troopers began to engage the Tri-droids. She shot three more times, each a direct hit, reloaded then jumped down to Obi-Wan's position she set down her rifle and activated her lightsaber.
"Nice of you to join" he said.
"Better late then never" she replied.
The two continued to push through both sets of battle droids. They deflected shots and sliced through the robots until the last of them were scrapped. Then Anakin took out the last Tri-droid and moved back with her and Obi-Wan. They continued to deflect shots from the next set of droids.
"We're gona need reinforcements" he said.
"We haven't been able to through to the admiral!" Obi-Wan stated.
The three of them continued to hold off the next wave of B1s when they stopped mid advance. Then a commander droid ordered a retreat.
"They're pulling back" Anakin said.
Just then a supply ship flew over their heads and headed to the base.
"Looks like help has arrived he said."
The three of them began to walk back with a squad of troops following behind.
"Our cruiser must be back" Obi-Wan stated.
"Witch means we'll be able to get our reinforcements" Anakin said in reply. Ruby simply stayed quit and followed her master.
"Well It looks like our problems are solved fresh troops and new supplies" he turned to Ruby and said, "good job Ruby you did well for your first."
"Because of your teaching" she said in reply.
"That reminds me, you should request a padawan Anakin" he said as he turned back "You'd make a good teacher."
Anakin chuckled and said "no thanks"
"Anakin," Obi-Wan began "teaching is a privilege, and it's part of a Jedi's responsibility to teach the next generation."
"A padawan would just slow me down, no offense Ruby" he said knowing Ruby's natural speed.
"Non taken" Ruby said assuring Anakin.
The supply ship door opened and a young Togruta girl walked out towards them. She seemed to be Ruby's age maybe younger.
"A youngling?" Obi-Wan said confused.
"And who are you suppose to be?" Anakin asked also confused.
"I'm Ahsoka, master Yoda sent me, I was told to tell both of you that you must get back to the Jedi temple immediately there's an emergency" she said.
"Well I don't know if you've noticed but we're in a bit of an emergency right here" Anakin replied.
"Yes our communications have been a bit unreliable-but we've been calling for help" Obi-Wan explained.
"Master Yoda hadn't herd from you so he sent me to deliver the message" Ahsoka said.
*sigh*"oh great they don't even know we're in trouble" Anakin said as he turned and took a few steps forward.
"Maybe you can relay a signal through the cruiser that just dropped me off" Ahsoka suggested. Anakin turned back then looked at Obi-Wan before the four of them walked back to the communication post.
They contacted the cruiser but it seemed to be in trouble as well.
"We're under attack by separatist war ships but I'll try to make contact with the Jedi temple for you, stand by" the ship admiral said.
The four of them stood around waiting for the signal to reach when master Yoda finally came on.
"Master Kenobi, glad Ahsoka found you I am" He said.
"Master Yoda we are trapped here and vastly out numbered, we are in no position to go anywhere or do anything, our support ships have all been destroyed" Obi-Wan explained.
"Send reinforcements we will-a-g-teach-er" the transmission began to cut off.
"master Yoda, Master Yoda!" Obi-Wan exclaimed.
The ship admiral came back on "We've lost the transmission sir," He turned back and someone said "we have to leave orbit immediately, more enemy ships have just arrived." He turned back and said "we'll be back to you as soon as we can" Then the hologram faded away.
"I guess we'll have to hold out a little longer" Anakin said turning to Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan then turned to Ahsoka and began "my apologies young one it's time for a proper introduction" he said walking up to her.
"I'm the new padawan learner, I'm Ahsoka Tano" she said.
"I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi and I'm sorry young one but I have a padawan already" Obi-Wan said motioning towards Ruby who gave a smile, she had ditch the jet pack and had her sniper slung on her back.
"Actually master Kenobi I've been assigned to master Skywalker" she said pointing to Anakin.
"What!? No,no,no,no,no,no there must be a mistake, I didn't put in a request for a padawan" Anakin said moving to be in front of Ahsoka.
"No, master Yoda was very specific, I'm assigned to Anakin Skywalker and he is to supervise my Jedi training" Ahsoka responded.
Obi-Wan turned to see Anakin in shock as he began "but that doesn't make any sen-"
"We'll have to sort this all out later, it won't be long until those droids figure out a way around our cannons" Obi-Wan said interrupting Anakin.
"I'll check on Rex in the look out post" Anakin said walking away.
"Better take her with you" Obi-Wan said before he got far.
He simply continued walking and Ahsoka followed behind him. Obi-Wan put his hand on his chin and stroked his beard.
"What are you thinking master?" Ruby asked knowing that is how Obi-Wan shows he's thinking.
"I think they'll make an interesting pair" Obi-Wan said. He then turned to Ruby "Now about that sniper rifle." Ruby became a flash of red then was gone as she wasn't going to give it up so easily. Obi-Wan simply continued to stroke his beard.
Ruby hid as she followed Ahsoka and Anakin as they approached Rex who just gave a hand signal.
Anakin asked "what's the status Rex?"
Captain Rex replied "quiet for now sir, their gearing up for another assult." He saw Ahsoka and asked "who's the youngling?"
Before Anakin could say anything Ahsoka responded "I'm master Skywalker's padawan, the names Ahsoka Tano."
Rex raised an eyebrow and turned to Anakin and said "sir I thought you said you'll never have a padawan?"
"There's been a mix up the youngling isn't with me" Anakin explained.
"Stop calling me that!" Ahsoka slightly rised her voice and then said "your stuck with me sky guy."
Rex and some other troopers began to laugh and so did Ruby but she tried to keep it in when Anakin turned her way as she hid.
"What did you just call me! Don't get snippy with me little one you know I don't think your even old enough to be a padawan."
"Well maybe I'm not, but master Yoda thinks I am."
"Well your not with master Yoda now so if your ready you better start proving it, Captain Rex will show you how a little respect can go a long way" he said motioning Rex.
"Uh...right come on youngling" he said.
Ahsoka corrected him annoyed "padawan."
Then Anakin called out "I'd go with them Ruby if you don't want Obi-Wan to take that sniper away."
Rex and Ahsoka looked as Ruby came out of hiding and joined them. Rex talked most of the way explaining why respect is important. He stopped talking when they were walking behind the cannons.
Ahsoka asked "have you thought about moving that line back captain? They'd have better cover that way."
"Thanks for the suggestion but general Skywalker thinks there fine where they are" Rex replied.
Ahsoka once again asked "so if your a captain and I'm a Jedi then technically I out rank you right?" Ruby simply followed listing to the question and waiting for Rex to answer.
"In my book, experience out ranks everything" he said.
"Well if experience out ranks everything then I guess I better start getting some."
"You will soon youn-uh padawan" Rex said correcting him self " I need to return to my post now I'll see you soon." And Rex walked back to the look out post.
"So your Obi-Wan's padawan?" Ahsoka asked turning to see Ruby.
"Yep Ruby Rose" Ruby replied.
"So what's up with that sniper? I thought Jedi didn't use blasters?"
"Well where I come from I was trained differently from the Jedi, we built different weapons and we fought a different enemy."
"Your from Remnant, right?"
"Yeah along with my sister and two friends who are also padawans."
"That means you fought Grimm creatures of 'darkness'"
"Well not a lot, the academy I was training at was closed down and my training stopped before I became a huntresses, luckily Obi-Wan found me and my friends and had us train to become Jedi knights some day."
"Cool, master Plo Koon found me at a young age on Shili and took me to the temple, I'm actually two years ahead of other younglings."
"I understand I was accepted two years early at my academy."
"Wow that sounds great," Ahsoka turned to see a large red dome slightly getting larger in the distance "what's that?"
Ruby saw and said "not good." The two padawans ran to try and find their masters.
