The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

What are you waiting for?

"Tech respond" 

"Tech please respond" 

"Tech"

Omega continued to look down at her commlink, she tried everything feeling hopeless as she curled in on herself. She tried every frequency but no one was picking up and yet there she was stuck in a small air pocket in a cave due to a collapse in the structure. She was exploring a foot in front of Tech when the place started to shake and she couldn't reach her brother on time. 

It didn't help that the Elite Squad were stationed nearby investigating some insurgents or the Empire so-called them. The first thing Omega noticed was the lack of a certain marksman in the group. She remembered spotting them and Tech calling out to take cover. When the two were watching, they witnessed the elite squad members remove their helmets, all six of them revealing to be nat-borns. It confused them all as last they checked Crosshair commanded the Elite Squad. They pondered on it before getting back to work only to trip up somewhere and suddenly they had the squad on their tails. 

"Commander, I have a reading. A heat signature is behind this small structure" 

Omega froze hearing a foreign voice. She tried to tuck herself further in the corner hoping they'd move on and miss her but sadly luck wasn't on her side. The wall exploded catching her totally off guard which led to someone snatching her. She cried out finding herself in the Elite Squads grasp.

"Commander, it's the clone Nala Se has been after. What do we do with her?" 

"Put her with the others. We will personally deliver them to the Empire" 

Omega couldn't get two words in as she was stunned by one of the members of the Elite Squad. 

Hours later…

"Om…ega…om…megs?" 

"Hunter, I think she's coming around" 

Omega blinked away sitting up abruptly recognising that voice. She gasped seeing four familiar faces looking down at her. 

"Easy kid, you alright?" Hunter asked from where he was standing over her, well he was leaning on Wrecker who held his sergeant up. 

"Yes, what happened?" Omega turned to her brothers.

"We got captured by the Elite Squad" Tech answered bluntly, looking off to the side. Omega frowned, directing her brother's face to her own, confusing the engineer, she gasped seeing the blood shot left red eye. Actually taking a step back she noticed all her brothers had bruises and frowns. 

"Oh god, what happened?" 

"Putting it simple, torture from the Empire" 

"Why?"

"Because kid they wanted information" 

"What information?" 

All the batch members froze as another voice entered the conversation. All attention turned to a particular Kaminoan who stood opposite their cell. Wrecker moved to the front putting his body in the way. 

"Calm yourself CT-9903. I am not a threat, I am merely here to save your lives" Nala Se said in a calming tone. 

Wrecker shared a look with the others. 

"I'm sorry but we don't exactly understand" Echo spoke up, blocking Omega in. 

Nala Se could only type something into the controls as she spoke, "I made a promise to a respectable piece of work that if Clone Force 99 ever got in trouble. I would help them in any possible way I could including Omega. So, please follow me and keep your mouths shut".
