Where I Belong (Star Wars: The Bad Batch)

The Dark Times

As the rain stormed down on the planet of Kamino, you marched through the corridor on Kamino in a dark suit searching for Rampart to await your orders from him.

When you came across him you stood before him, hands behind your back, & your chest high. "Adrimal Rampart sir, my orders?" You ask as his troops looked around realizing what Rampart had done.
"Your orders... Y/N... Finish of all remaining Clones & Jedi that still come after us. Do as asked, I will make you the rank of Commander, commanding my troops & teaching them your ways." Rampart orders as you nod, smiling through your helmet.

Passing by the cell blocks heading towards the hangar to your shuttle, you stopped in your tracks looking at the people in the cells.
They were still alive... Your whole team was alive & had just witnessed what you had become.
Crosshair didn't want to believe what had happened but he knew... & He knew who you were now as he knew who he was when he was an Imperial working under Rampart's control. Cross knew what he needed to do & so did everyone else.

You were surprised under your helmet when you saw Omega, beaten up badly, injured & weak... Then you remembered. They were going to send her off world so she didn't have to witness her teammates dying but it seems that to you she refused & tried to fight back.

When you made it to the hangar you met a group of enhanced troops, you had known about them from Rampart but these were different. Full black suits, carrying snipers on them, with a darker green visor on their helmets.

Dark troopers.

Before you boarded the shuttle with your group of dark troopers alarms began to blare & Rampart came towards you.
"They've gotten out. The prisoners... You know what to do..." Rampart says as he walks past you & before you could watch him leave a blast came firing towards him & he collapsed to the floor unable to move.
You wanted to help him but all you did was stand their looking at the man who had shot him.

Crosshair, Omega huddled beside him with a golden bow she found along the way... & the team.
"Don't do this Y/N! Remember the team? Our missions?!" Omega says as you face her, anger in your eyes under the helmet.
"Y/N... I know how it feels... To be controlled, but you have to snap out of it." Crosshair says as he approaches you. "Don't try to change my mind Crosshair. I've made my decision." You say as you grab your blaster & press it against Crosshair, keeping it still & not firing.

"Stay out of my way... All of you... Or these bullets end up in your head." You say removing your blaster away from Crosshair & walking to the shuttle with the dark troopers.
When you boarded the shuttle you laid back in the chair as the dark troopers worked on getting the shuttle in the air.

While waiting suddenly you hear blaster fire hitting against the shuttle. You run off the shuttle & grab your blaster & begin firing on the team that was firing on the shuttle & now you.

You quickly found cover under a crate & aimed your blaster as well as you could at the team.
"Come on boys! You can do better than that." You say as you get up from hiding & shoot Crosshair in the chest.

After doing that your mind flashed before your eyes.
You saw Crosshair being shot in the hangar on Kamino by Rampart's squad of troops. You dropped your head lightly & took your helmet off concerned & worried. After a while your mind came back to your reality & you boarded the ship & the shuttle took off jumping to hyperspace.

Back on Kamino Wrecker helped Crosshair back into their shuttle they had flown in on & set him down on a crate in the ship.
"We have to get her back." Crosshair says gasping for air. "Crosshair, your hurt." Omega says setting her hand on his shoulder. "I know. Tech, put these coordinates in. I had enough time to plant a tracking beacon on their ship. We'll follow them, & get Y/N back home." Crosshair says. "Sounds like a good plan to me! Haha!" Wrecker says. "Relax Wrecker. This could go very wrong." Echo says. "Oh... Yeah, right." Wrecker replies.

When The Bad Batches shuttle in flying through hyperspace you & the dark troopers load up their weapons while you lay back in one of the bunkers in the back of the ship thinking things through in your mind that felt new to you after what they had done to you on Kamino.
"Ma'am?" One of the dark troopers asks coming into your bunker, his helmet off. "Call me ma'am one more time & I swear..." The trooper cuts you off & apologizes back saying, "Sorry, Commander." "What is it trooper?" You ask. "We're arriving on Coursant Commander." The trooper says as you acknowledge him with a light nod.

You remember what Crosshair had told you about Coursant, how it's not the best place in the galaxy to be. But you didn't know what was going through your mind. All you knew was that you had a mission to complete.
Killing The Bad Batch, known as Clone Force 99.
When the shuttle jumped out of hyperspace you were in the cockpit, your hands gripped on the edges of the two chairs. The pilot, & the co-pilot.
"We'll be landing at the temple." A trooper says before calling over comms asking for permission to land. Once they have permission the shuttle lands in an underground ground hangar & you, the commander, & your new team exit the shuttle walking up to the temple.

You didn't know what temple the area you were in was known as until you saw Jedi younglings & clone troopers that have been shot or stabbed by the Jedi's weapons known as lightsabers.
"What happened here?" You say to yourself quietly & a trooper walking beside you heard you & answered. "During Order 66 all clones had orders. Excute Order 66. Kill all remaining Jedi. Now look around. They've completed their objective, & the Empire has taken control." The trooper says as he places his helmet on over his head.

You walked beside him & another trooper for a while until you entered a room to see another Imperial officer looking out the window, where the city was burning.
The officers back facing you & your new team. "So it seems they have gotten away... Commander. Killing one of my Adrimal's." The man says.
As he turns to face you, you are stunned underneath your helmet. "Grand Moff Tarkin sir, they..." A trooper is silenced by Tarkin & he faces you.
"Allow the Commander to speak for herself trooper." Tarkin says as you remove your helmet, holding it close to you. "Grand Moff Tarkin, the assets had escaped their containment on Kamino, & had managed to kill Adrimal Rampart. My final orders from him were to kill them. Are my orders the same?" You ask. "Continue on with your mission Commander, I will be watching you closely." Tarkin says as you nod acknowledging him & walking off, placing your helmet back on.

Heading back towards the shuttle you look outside from the hangar door & squint your eyes then widen them as another shuttle comes flying in fast into the hangar, slamming on the breaks & parking a light distance away from your shuttle.
Without hesitation, you grabbed your rifle, & the dark troopers had their snipers, waiting for your orders to attack.
