The nightmarish creature showed no signs of slowing down, so it was time for the crew to throw some reinforcements into the mixture. They called Rex for some support and within minutes chopper landed the shuttle and dropped Rex and two rebel commanders from the squadron down to assist the situation further.

Rex: what's the situation here?
Hera: I think it's best kanan explains.
Kanan: remember the two inquisitors we ran into a few times?
Rex: great, are we really going to face them?
Kanan: not exactly. They used some sort of sith magic to create a living monster. It is powered by the soal of another inquisitor we ran into before me met you, and it's bonded to it. It uses its power to gather any scrap metal and bonds it to create a form. It will now be on its forth form, but we don't know how many it will have before it can grow no more.
Rex: Kanan. These are difficult odds, I have to admit.
Ezra: well we have to stop it, otherwise it could destroy my homeworld.
Rex: consider it taken care of! Where is this clanker?
Zeb: clanker? I like the sound of that.
Hera: we don't know captain, we have to find it. Did these soliders volunteer?
Both soliders: yes mam! We're with you all the way.
Kanan: good, we could use every bit of help we can get.
Sabine: we should split up searching for this....thing. Ezra, Zeb and I will take one of the troopers and keep watch up top, while you four search on the ground level.
Hera: sounds like a plan, let's get going quick.

The group slip up in to two halves, with Sabine, Zeb, Ezra and one I the soliders taking the higher ground and Kanan, Hera, Rex and the other solider taking the lower ground. It took longer than expected to find the monster because it was re-forming at the time. Each group had their own perspective of the Search.

Group 1 (E, S, Z &S1):

Zeb: so do we know exactly what were looking for?
Ezra: not exactly, it could be a completely different shape to the last one for all we know. But we'll know it when we see it.
Sabine: the big glowing red eyes stand out.
Solider #1: how long have you been fighting this thing?
Ezra: over a few hours now, and it's showed no signs of slowing down just yet.
Solider #1: I've had experience with bucket heads but not with this.
Sabine: don't worry, when we try to find a weakness you'll hear us talking very loud. As long as we coordinate together we'll all be fine.
Solider #1: ok Roger.
Zeb: keep your eyes open, it could be anywhere.

Group #2 (H, K, R & S2):

Kanan: you see anything?
Hera: not that I know of. Wherever it is, it's not making any noise is it.
Kanan: it's probably re-forming. It doesn't make much noise, when Ezra spotted it earlier on and it was to quiet.
Rex: I can just tell this battle will take a while.
Solider #2: I agree with you. The sooner we get this thing erased from existence the sooner lothal will be safer.
Rex: exactly.
Hera: kanan dear, you know I'm still going to kill you when we get back right?
Kanan: yeah, it's still my fault is it?
Hera: of course, it always is when you...
