making their way across rocky terrain, the dusty red earth of the planet rose with every step they took. it billowed around their boots before settling back onto the ground like a blanket as if it hadn’t been disturbed just seconds before. everything seemed unfortunately quiet as they traveled, but rex supposed that made sense — the battlefield seemed to be miles away from here now, the 501st and 212th just barely specks on an infinite horizon as they battled against an almost never-ending separatist battalion, the echoes of blasters and screaming commands having faded in the distance. in all honesty, the captain wished he could be there to support his brothers; however, he and general kenobi had been tasked with finding general skywalker. the missing jedi had decided he would try and find a way around, so as to get an advantage on the separatists, but he hadn’t come back in a while and it had concerned them. so, with a brief meeting between some of the commanding officers, the troops were left with ahsoka, allowing general kenobi and the clone captain to begin their search.
with a quiet sigh, rex glanced over at obi-wan. “where do you suppose general skywalker wandered off to, sir?” given the terrain they were traveling, it really couldn’t have been far; but, who knows - jedi tended to be capable of things that seemed to be impossible.
