The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

The Titan's of the Bad Batch

Omega couldn't help but feel terrified as she was led through the corridors of Mount Tantiss, for the past week she had been forced to watch as clones were tortured for the Empire's Science. She was never put through what they were put through but she knew one thing, Crosshair was here in the same facility and that had been confirmed by Nala Se who kept a strict eye on Omega while she worked. 

"Omega, come with me" Nala gestured for Omega to follow, she did and that was what led her to a cell that had her freezing in her spot. There sitting on a bench with his head hung and body slumped was Crosshair. 

"You have been tasked to get some information out of him, please pass this too him" Nala whispered the last part before opening the cell door and gently pushing Omega into the room. The blond clone knew she was being watched as she walked into the cell, only when it was shut and the clones left did Crosshair look up and Omega got a glimpse of his face in the darkness. 

"Cro-ss-hair?" Her tone showed her fear which only made the former marksman of the bad batch roll his eye. Yes eye, Omega gasped seeing one of the eyes was gone and in its place was a makeshift patch. 

"What do you want?" Although not as harsh as normal, Omega knew it was fear in his voice but she ignored his wild look when she pressed forward until she stood directly in front of him. He took notice of her body signals as he noticed something in her hand, he pressed slightly off the bench using his leg to hide the object and for him to take it, he noticed it was a pill. Without even thinking, he coughed and used his hand to swallow the tablet, he knew it had come from Nala Se which could only mean one thing, hidden protocols. 

"Kid, what's wrong?" 

"You don't know" 

"What?" 

"About Tech?" 

"What about Tech?" Crosshair gritted his teeth trying not to show emotion at the mention of his twin. 

Omega looked down sadly, "I'm sorry Crosshair, he died" 

"What…? How?" Crosshair demanded, his voice rose slightly as he felt something kick in. 

"Plan 99" 

Those two words had Crosshair wincing, he hated that plan and he had a good reason to hate it. Even if he was the one who made it up, he still remembered the batches' mixed looks when he came up with it, at first he thought he'd be the one to use it but for his twin to have to use the plan. It must have been a serious situation with no way out, if only he was there and he could have saved Tech but then again, his stupid brain didn't work that way. Anger flooded his brain as footsteps neared the cell.

"Nala, remove your experiment. I am sick of your games you are playing. CT-9904 and I need to have another word" Dr Hemlock appeared only to be accompanied by several troopers. 

"Crosshair?" 

"I'm sorry kid" Crosshairs eye flashed a purple colour making Omega's eyes widen slightly before they flickered back to a silver colour.

"Come Omega" Nala gestured, Omega did just that only for an imperial officer to comment on something that made everything go haywire. 

"Yes clone listen to me almost like the orders your batch listened to before the goggled one went splat" 

An anger like no other flashed across Crosshairs vision, he nodded at Nala who activated a certain protocol by voicing it, "CT-9904, Activate protocol, protect Omega". Dr Hemlock whipped around in shock only to be met with a blaster to the head and several rounds to go off, all troopers and imperial officers in the area were killed by a simple blaster.
