The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

Judas

For once the great Captain Rex didn’t know what to do, reports were coming in from all over claiming of genocide across all the channels, whether the enemy or allies, no one deserved what was happening and that was somehow he found himself standing in the commanding room of the rebels helping the said rebels out. They had to find the one responsible for the attacks and were reaching out to people within the Empire to search for this individual, even the bad batch had come out of hiding to help, especially since where they had been hiding had been attacked. 

Some of the surviving clones refused to help knowing that clones were the first to be attacked, it was almost like the enemy’s main mission was to get rid of the past, unaware of the hunter on their tail. Figuratively speaking one of this power was taking down the food chain of murders and top individuals without even lifting a finger which is why the batch and Rex soon found themselves creating a set up to try and catch this individual off guard. 

“Any movement on your end?” 

“No, Echo. It’s almost like this individual is a ghost” Hunter was quick to reply as he signalled for Tech to scan the area. Wrecker was hidden elsewhere with Gregor, the two clones being trusted together was a rare thing, since the two liked to make things explode. Stealth was the key here. 

“Keep an eye out, Rex how about you?” 

“We have movement, two figures. One ahead of the other, it would seem the other is in pursuit, be ready” Rex’s serious tone broke through all of their thoughts. 

“Hunter, they have just passed us” Omega whispered, she, Hera and Kanan were on top of the rooftops ready to ambush the individual’s who they believed were causing the mayhem for both sides of the war. 

Small bits of laughter were caught on the mics as the individual in front came to a stop in the middle of the open area, they were shortly caught up by the other who picked them up. It took a while for the rebels to realise the first was a child while the other was a cloaked individual who remained hidden by the hood. 

“Daddy! Where’s mummy?”

The innocent cry had all attention drawn to the little individual who was on the hip of the hooded figure. 

“She said she would meet us here. Think you can hide in the crate, it would seem we have company” 

“Yes daddy, smokey?” 

“Yes” 

Rex’s eyes widened when he saw a glint of silver aimed his way before blaster fire had them all moving as the area filled with smoke. 

“Grab them!” Echo ordered as the batch moved to intercept the individual who was incredibly good at disappearing, they managed to disappear amongst the bodies and take them down almost like they weren’t even there. 

Wrecker hit the ground first he was taking down easily by a jab to one of his pressure points, he gasped in shock when a silver disc landed beside his head, he moved just as the blaster bolt hit it only to take down Echo who found himself electrocuted.

“ECHO! That’s it! You are going down!” Gregor yelled only for him to hit the ground hard by a leg sweep, Kanan yelled out in frustration as he pulled out his lightsaber, he thought it would be easier but he never expected for the individual to pull out a weapon able to withstand the hits of a lightsaber. It was a type of electrostaff almost made out of beskar steel that Tech so importantly pointed out before he himself was thrown to the floor. 

Hunter and Rex seemed to be the two who had the most interaction with their mysterious attacker, as they fought in sync with hand to hand combat with the attacker who could be seen as using defensive techniques. Soon enough the individual grew bored and dropped some droid poppers which sent the two unconscious.
