This chapter follows some of the plot of the finale, but don't worry, I won't kill Tech. <3

Dara comes to wake you up. 
"Morning, sweetheart." She says softly.
"Good morning." You yawn.
"We're going to head towards Eriadu soon. Make sure you have all your gear ready." Dara tells you. 
"I will. Thanks, Mom." You say. 
Once she leaves, you change into your new outfit and put your lightsaber on your belt. You're still not used to having it on you. These days you've been feeling a bit more afraid because you know that Order 66 happened, and the Imperial clones wouldn't hesitate to hurt you when they would see you with your lightsaber. Once you enter the main hull of the ship, Wrecker hands you a ration. 
"Morning, kid." He greets you.
"Morning, Wrecker." You say to him. 
While everyone eats, you see that Hunter has a worried look on his face the entire time. You decide to go ask him if he's alright.

"Dad, are you alright?" You ask him.
He looks a little startled after being deep in thought. "This mission just seems risky. Remember when we had to rescue you? I can't risk that again. The Empire is after Omega, and since you're Force-sensitive, they'd definitely be after you." 
You feel guilty. "I'm sorry I keep causing you problems." 
He bends down and hugs you. "Hey. Never apologize for that." 
Omega walks over to you two. "Is everything okay?"
Hunter sits in his chair and looks at you two. "I need you two to promise that you'll be careful, alright?"
Omega nods. "We will be." 
"Yeah." You agree. 
Omega points to your lightsaber. "She's got her lightsaber now. I've got my bow. We can protect ourselves." 
"I guess you're right." Hunter says. "I'm just worried."

The ship lands on Eriadu and everyone exits. Some clones start to shoot at you.
"Remember your training, Y/N!" Dara shouts. 
You ignite your lightsaber and block the blaster fires from the Imperial clones. Once the clones are unconscious, you make you way through the base. Tech guides you through the base after Echo transferred the Imperial data to Tech's datapad. You all carefully sneak past the clones until you reach the lab. Some clones with different armor than usual guard it. They see you and start firing. One of them calls for backup.
"Kriff." You hear Echo mutter. 
You try to use the Force to push the guards away, but it doesn't work. You take out your lightsaber and defend yourself. Omega shoots some of them with her bow. More clones come and surround all of you. 
"Y/N." Your mother whispers to you. "We need to work together and use the Force to push some of the guards away. 
You nod. "Okay." 
You both close your eyes and hold your hands out.
"Dara, Y/N, you need to be careful!" Hunter says, concerned. 
"We are, love. Just trust us." Dara reassures him. 
You feel the Force flow through you as you focus your energy on not just protecting yourself, but your entire squad. 
I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me. You think. 
Some of the clones get pushed back, giving you all an opportunity to stun them. You start to feel tired after using so much of your energy on pushing many clones away. 

Tech and Echo work together to open the door of the lab. 
"Are you almost done?" Hunter asks, starting to get impatient. You can tell that he's worried about more clones coming after you all. 
"This is a delicate operation." Tech comments. 
"Yeah, we're working on it!" Echo says, slightly annoyed. 
"I know, I know. I just want to get out of here with Crosshair before any more Imperials come after us." Hunter tells them. 
"Is there anything I can do to help?" You ask.
"I don't think the Force can really help us here, but thank you, Y/N." Tech says. 
The rest of you anxiously wait while Tech and Echo continue to try to open the door to the lab. 
"And... done!" Tech says, looking proud of himself. 
All of you slowly enter the lab.

As you enter, you clench your fist as you see Doctor Hemlock standing next to Crosshair who is unconscious on a medical table. 
"Ah, Clone Force 99. Y/N, it's good to see you." He says, giving all of you a smug smile. 
"What did you do to him?" Omega asks, tears forming in her eyes. 
You reach your hand out to try to use the Force to hurt him. "That's my uncle!" 
"Y/N!" Dara says, grabbing your hand. 
Hemlock chuckles and pauses for a moment. "I see you are Force sensitive. How interesting." 
Hunter walks up to him. "If you lay one more finger on her, you'll regret it."
"I'm assuming you're here for your brother, yes?" Hemlock says, ignoring Hunter's comment.
"Yeah. He sent us a message, and Y/N had a vision that he was in pain. That was your fault." Wrecker says. 
"He wasn't being useful to the Empire. I thought he had outgrown the "rogue clone" lifestyle, but I was proven wrong. He didn't follow what he always said: 'Good soldiers follow orders.'" Hemlock explains. 
"You're an awful person, Hemlock. Look what you've done!" You yell. 
"I do this to help people. To do research on how to help improve the next generation of clones." Hemlock says. 
"That's a lie, and you know it." Omega says. 
You look over at Tech who is slowly reaching for his blaster. 
Hemlock sees him and says, "Oh, I see you're reaching for your blas-" 
Tech stuns him before he can finish his sentence. 
"Why didn't anybody do that earlier?" Omega asks.
"We needed to let him have his evil speech." Wrecker laughs.

You all take the bindings off of all the clones. You go over to Crosshair. Tech inspects his medical information on the screen. 
"He is in a stable condition. One moment." Tech says, taking out his I.V. 
Crosshair sits up and gasps. "Y-You came back for me?''
"Of course we did, Crosshair." Omega says, hugging him. 
Crosshair gets up and sees you. You give him a hug.
Hunter walks over to him and gives him an embrace. You see a tear fall from Crosshair's eye. The rest of the squad comes over to join.
"Thank you..." Crosshair whispers. 
"Of course, brother." Echo tells him.
Crosshair begins to wake up more and regains his strength. 
"Let's go. I'll lead the way." Crosshair says. 
All of you follow him, prepared for more clones and guards.

As you are about to leave, you see the scientist Emerie Karr watching you. She doesn't chase after you, but just stands there. As you and Omega begin to get on the ship, she walks closer. 
"We're sisters, Omega." You hear her say. 
"W-What?" Omega exclaims. 
"You and I are sisters." She repeats. 
"Just go, Omega. We can figure it out later." You tell Omega. 
She gets on the ship and you follow as the scientist watches you. You can't help but to wonder if the scientist really was right...
