“This is who I am” 

“Sorry Omega. I know I promised you’d never have to come back here” 

“You did the same for me” 

“Hunter, three Venators are descending on the city. We need to leave, now” 

“Wrecker, grab Crosshair. He’s coming with us” 

“Sir, we’re in position” 

“Open fire” 

Without warning the Venators weapons connected with the roofs of Tipoca City as explosions around them all had them on edge. 

“Hurry! Get to the lift!” 

Multiple shots stopped them all from moving forward, Hunter made the ultimate decision in yelling, “Back inside! Go!”. With that said all batch members including Omega ran inside with AZ following. All through the escape of Tipoca City, through the underwater tunnels. Echo couldn’t help but send little side glances in the moodiest member of the batch’s way. Crosshair remained utterly silent from the point where he almost drowned, he only had the slight comment but other than that he remained silent holding his head when he thought no one was looking. On top of that, his fingers kept twitching almost like he was trying to grasp something in the air. 

After a long journey, the group finally made it back to the landing platform only to run into another problem. Multiple ships and armed troops surrounded them all, Hunter instantly hid Omega behind his legs. The batch made a circle while Crosshair stood off to the side of them. The marksman didn’t even flinch when weapons were aimed at him, instead he crossed his arms looking incredibly bored. 

“Commander, it is good to see you survived. Even though killing three squads in the past three rotations does make me question your actions. Please, follow procedures and hand yourself over” Rampart stood with a smile, in his normal officer stance. 

Rolling his eyes, Crosshair moved forward when something made him stop, a storm was coming. He looked up to see the three Venator-Class Star Destroyers entering the atmosphere heading for them all. Omega squeaked in fear in the centre of the circle of the bad batch. Closing his eyes, he blinked only making the several troopers around him to back away. Hunter watched in confusion while trying to work out a way out of this. 

“CT-9904, do we have a problem?” Rampart questioned. 

“No sir” Crosshair continued forward, passing the officer when he felt the pain again, his hands clasped into fists as he felt the sudden dread of a feeling. His eyes connected with Echo’s, the arc trooper only pointed over his shoulder. Crosshair looked past him only to wince, there was indeed a storm coming but not any storm more like a tsunami. The batch wouldn’t be able to get away on time, none of them would unless things were hurried along. 

“Sir, we have a problem. Tidal waves are heading this way, ones able to destroy our ships. We must leave now” A trooper exclaimed, Rampart looked into the distance only to smile. 

“That is unfortunate. Kill them and take the girl” Rampart ordered, he smiled turning his back on the batch, he placed a hand on Crosshairs lower back making the marksman walk forward. With a sigh, Crosshair stepped forward when one last jolt of pain opened his eyes, the pain in his head vanished for a minute only for his eyes to flicker in colour. Purple broke into the iris of his eyes making the troopers around him back off. Crosshair only smirked, he turned abruptly on Rampart who froze seeing the marksman, the one Nala Se had warned him about.
