A Sacrafice of the Heart (HunterxCrosshair) Book 1 - COMPLETE!

Chapter 27

Hunter gasped as something took over his body, like a command. He didn’t understand. However he soon found he wasn’t the only one affected, Tech, Wrecker and Echo seemed to be fighting whatever it was taking over their bodies while leaving them trapped in their minds. Soon the four found it too powerful. The four soon found themselves heading in Crosshairs and Omega’s direction with their guns aimed at the two. Omega watched Crosshair move around the room, she heard footsteps behind her and gasped. Her brothers had a dark aura around them, No! She inwardly cried. “Dad!”. The sniper whipped around hearing his daughters cry, he himself groaned looking at his batchmates. 

Wrecker was the first to make a move, aiming a punch for Omega who found herself pulled backwards. “CROSSHAIR WATCH OUT!” Rex’s shout caught the sniper's attention as Asajj Ventress appeared in the room with her lightsaber out, she aimed at the sniper's head. He ducked rolling on the floor with Omega. He pulled her aside, “Here. This is the seal. Remember what I told you earlier” she nodded, “Go, I’ve got this. Howzer should be ready for you. I know it's a lot but the prophecy must be done otherwise our family will fall apart, go!” Crosshair pushed her in the direction of the door which opened when she touched it. Looking back, Omega watched as Crosshair defended himself with his beskar spear against five opponents. The sniper used every skill he had learned, her eyes connected with the helmet which had teary brown eyes behind the visor. Crosshair nodded in her direction, and she took off. Running with all her speed down the dark corridor which led into a crystalised room. Looking down she noticed the seal was glowing, it was a small circle about the size of her palm but it would save them all and awaken a power unknown to everyone. 

Thinking back to her earlier conversation with a particular sniper, she blinked back tears thinking about it as she walked in the direction of where the seal needed to be.

Clone Force 99 was gearing up for one hell of a mission. Omega watches as her family moves around the Havok Marauder without bumping into each other. Crosshair was flying since he knew exactly where they were going. Tech and Wrecker were re-checking ammo and grenades while Hunter silently sat down thinking over the plan. Omega squeezed her way past the brothers; she needed to talk to one person in particular. She soon found herself in the cockpit with a tense sniper. Crosshair didn’t even acknowledge her when she walked in and she was thankful for it. She was on the verge of tears, her emotions were through the roof.

“Dad?” 

Crosshair looked over slightly at Omega who remained looking ahead. 

“Yes”

“What if I let everyone down?” Omega stated, looking at her lap unaware of the second set of eyes in the room. Hunter frowned looking at the sniper who gestured for him to sit in the co-pilot seat and take over. The Sargeant did just that, knowing this conversation was for Crosshair and Omega only, he silently took over the controls and headed in the directions Crosshair gave him. 

Omega felt herself picked up and placed in someone's lap. Looking up, tearful cinnamon eyes connected with calm chocolate eyes. Crosshair tilted his head for her to continue, “I just…what if I screw up and ruin everything? What happens if I can’t do it? I can’t let everyone down. I just…em don’t think I can do this alone. Dad, you and father are brave and I’m scared, no I’m terrified. What if something goes wrong? If you guys get hurt because of me, I will never forgive myself. I don’t want to let you down…I just…” she couldn’t finish as sobs took over her frame. Skinny yet strong arms wrapped around pulling her into a tight embrace, her sobs racked her small frame but while she cried, she heard humming and the heartbeat she could hear helped calm her down. After a few minutes, hiccups left her small body. Looking up she saw closed eyes, frowning she poked the sniper in the chest making him look at her with a hint of mischief.
