Star Wars: The Bad batch

Running from the empire

Harper fell to the ground, completely unconscious. Crosshair looked down at her.

"You left me no choice. I told you to go when you had the chance. You put this on yourself." Crosshair said to her

Suddenly Harper's comm went off.

"Harp? Harper? Harper! Omega got here and told us what happened," There was a moment of silence from Hunter's voice. "We're on our way, stay put."

"Always so protective." Crosshair muttered under his breath.

The two TK troopers came running up to Crosshair.

"Who's she, CT-9904?!" A TK trooper asked as he nudged her face with his gun to see if she was awake; she wasn't.

Crosshair shoved him back.

"Back off, she's out cold." Crosshair says.

"You didn't answer my question, clone." The TK trooper spat.

Crosshair narrowed his eyes.

"Get Admiral Rampart. Now!" Crosshair ordered.

The TK trooper looked down at Harper then back up at a Crosshair and he narrowed his eyes.

"...yes sir!" And with that they both ran off.

Crosshair sighed then nudged her shoulder with his shoe. She slowly began to stir.

"Owe, my head..." Harper mumbled as she used her arms to push her body weight up so she could sit up.

"You'll live."  Crosshair says casually .

She's looks up at him and frowns.

"You stun me." Harper said as she began remembering.

"And?" Crosshair ever so slightly smirked.

"And, that hurt." Harper says.

"You're not dead are you? You didn't even feel it, you were sleeping. Stop over reacting."

"This conversation isn't going anywhere."

"Agreed."

Harper tried to stand but still felt pretty weak. He sighed then grabbed her by her arm to help her up. She leaned into him slightly, and surprisingly he didn't shove her away.

"Can you stand?" Crosshair asked.

"I believe so..." Harper tried to stand, she was a little shaky still.

"Come on," Crosshair ran off. She followed slightly behind him.

"Why. Why are...we running," Harper asked out of breath. "What happened when I was knocked out?"

"Ramparts coming. He's coming to get you and the batch. You have to leave, now!"

"Not without you."

"Hmm, I'm helping you, you're lucky. Take his as a freebie. Next time I see you, it's on. I'm not going to help anymore."

"Uh huh."

Crosshair rolled his eyes.

"Harper?! Where are you?! I told you to stop moving!" Hunter shouted through his comm.

"Hunter? Hunter," Harper seemed relieved to hear his voice, she smiled. She pressed down onto her comm. "I'm with Crosshair."

"Are you ok? Safe?" Hunter asked.

"Uhh I think so, we're just running right now." Harper says.

"From what exactly?" Tech asked.

"I think a guy named Rampart," Harper looks up at Crosshair while running and still has her button pressed down so the batch can hear. "That's his name right?"

"Yes. admiral Rampart." Crosshair says.

"Yeah, him." Harper says.

"Where are you heading?" Hunter asked.

"Cross, were we heading?"

"We have to get out of the facility now! I'm getting you out of here before he finds you!"

Harper pressed down on her comm again.

"What he said."

"We're following you, just get somewhere safe and stay away from the fight until we get there."

Harper let go of her comm and looked up at Crosshair. He was lifting up a door.

"I'm not Wrecker. Hurry up, Harper." Crosshair said then crawled underneath. She tried keeping it opened long enough for him to crawl under too. Once he made it to the other side she let go.

They were in the woods now.

"Come on, they already know I'm missing. You need to hurry." Crosshair said then ran off again.

Harper groaned in annoyance. But followed.

————some time later————

"Harper?! I'm coming. I'll be there in a couple of minutes." He says into the comm.

"Copy that." Harper said then let go.

They both heard a noise behind them and turned around and stopped running. Crosshair tighten his grip on his sniper.

"Hunter?" Harper says hesitantly. She begins to walk over and a TK trooper jumped out of his hiding spot and tried to grab her.

Crosshair quickly grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her backwards. She lost her footing and fell onto the ground.

Crosshair and the TK trooper went hand to hand. Surprisingly the TK was winning. He got Crosshair down to the ground and was punching him in the face over and over.

"Cros—" Her voice gets cut off right as a bag gets put over her head.

She starts to panic.

"C-cross!" Harper yelled then a hand went over her mouth.

"Harper!" She heard him shout.

It was starting to get hard to breathe and she was panicking bad. She tried fighting the man's grip but he was too strong. She felt her rope start to get wrapped around her hands then a grunt and everything was silence.

Without seeing she tried to run off but an armored arm grabbed her shoulder.

"L-let me go! I-I need to save Cross! He needs me!" Harper says.

The person took off the bag over her head. It was Hunter.

"Hunter," without hesitation she hugged him without her hands. She was relieved it was him. "Thank goodness it's you."

"How sweet. You were worried." Crosshair smirk.

"I thought you were getting attacked, what happened?"

"Hunter stunned the TK then ran over here to save you but you were completely panicking so it took a second till you could tell it was him. I watched, it was fun."

"Oh..."

He puts a toothpick in his mouth.

"Hunta?" A timid voice called out. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. She came running over to them.

"Omega?" Hunter said in shock, then anger. "I told you to stay on the ship. It's dangerous!"

"I know, but I was worried I wanted to make sure everyone was okay." Omega says.

Hunter sighs in defeat.

"Let's go." They all begin running towards the marauder with Hunter leading the way. Omega was right behind Hunter. Then Harper then Crosshair.
