The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

There is love behind hate but is there truth behind lies

(Warning: Brief mention of Sexual Assault - very mild, mild mention of torture)

He was done, the Empire had pushed him past his limit. With a glare, he looked down at the data stick in his hand and hoped to god he could do this because if he didn't the bad batch would die. 

Replacing his helmet, he continued down the hallway towards the communication room. He nodded at fellow clones and a few natborn's. A few watched him carefully knowing that he was the commander of the Elite Squad. He continued all the way to a terminal, he smiled when he logged in with ease using an old code that the Empire should really have destroyed. 

He was quick to type and message and send the data to the one and only few he could trust. A captain lost in the stars, surviving the worst of it. Another thought came to him as he sent a backup to another marksman who he trusted with his life. She would not judge having betrayed her own rights for her family. Once he was done, he typed in a code that he knew none of the Empire could get rid of as he deleted the data and headed back out the room. 

Holding his head high, he continued on down towards the hangars just as the emergency alarms started going off. 

All around him chaos exploded, a smirk landed on his face. Every chip in the universe had essentially switched off, with a smile he watched as clones turned on the Empire soldiers shooting them down with stun bullets. 

Remaining in the shadows, he watched as the Empire officers looked confused and full of fear. 

"Elite Squad Report to The Admirals Office! Escort the Officers and kill the traitorous clones in the process!" 

The order only made him smirk, his plan was coming together. All officers would be in the same place at the same time the Admiral would be. 

"CT-9904, I repeat CT-9904 is a dangerous clone, shoot on sight!" 

A smile landed on his face as he watched from the shadows as the clones ran for the hangars defending each other. He recognised a few clones he had worked with in the past, one of them being a very distinctive grey/faded yellow armour. Another with a wolf symbol.

Blaster fire was heard all around as the Empire officers and nat-born soldiers started to shoot at the clones running from them. Soldiers laughed about it. With a glare on his face., he watched as the ships left until only one remained. Those of the clones he recognised included Cody, Wolffe, Hound and Fox. Others he didn't but listening to them argue over what to do had him changing his mind about staying in the shadows. 

With the only accuracy of a sniper, he threw one of his discs across the room, it landed with some precision. 

"What's that?" An officer asked only to find themself and several others dead from one blaster bullet. 

Cody looked up in shock recognising those discs, he and Fox shared a look as another blaster shot took out several officers. 

"It can't be! I thought he was dead" Fox exclaimed as more imperial officers came running into the hangar. 

"So did I but it seems like he's not! Let's go! It's clear what he is doing!" Hound yelled, moving into the ship. Wolffe nodded, diving in himself. The two took control of the ship. 

"I'm not leaving him!" Cody roared. Fox nodded in sync. 

"You two are unbelievable! He's not worth it!" Another clone yelled only for him to be glared at it, "What! I was told his batch left him because he chose to stay with the Empire! Who wants that type of person in our squad!"
