A Pain Lost In The Stars - Complete

Chapter 44

Silence passed through the room featuring those who watched the shields that held their family members from them. A bright light escaped the shield encompassing the room and all those on Serenno, it continued to spread through the planet rejuvenating all of life that had been crushed or lost in the Empire’s invasion. Dooku was shocked as the once palace he had grown up in ever since he lost his family shone again, golden walls glowed with the serenity light that had clearly come from his sons. 

A shatter of almost glass turned attention to the shield that had broken apart; groans alerted everyone to the batch, Coric, Jesse, Dove and the babies who were immediately scooped up. 

“Oh my, is that Jango….?” Mace Windu turned to Yoda who could barely believe it, he thought the bounty hunter had passed on, a smaller individual beside Jango standing at waist height, the same height as Omega was none other than Boba Fett who was looking at his hands in utter shock. The last thing he remembered was dying, falling from the ridge, he gasped seeing his father who scooped him up, hugging him close despite others watching. 

“Ah my head, please tell me I didn’t do another drinking session with Fives” Echo mumbled as he accepted the hand of his twin to his feet. 

“Not even close Echo” the teasing tone from Fives had Echo rolling his eyes as he allowed Wrecker to wrap him up while Hunter held Angel and made sure Omega was okay. The children having returned to them all now with Edira and Callis, both having been protecting the children when they vanished, Grey wasn’t too bothered but she definitely hugged Dove who watched Jesse sway with Orion in his arms. 

“Wait, where are the brothers and Tech?” Rex asked, looking around the room only to frown.

Meanwhile…

In another part of Serenno, four individuals stood staring out of the view which included the horizon, the oceans, deserts, forests, mountains, basically anything was within sight. Everything was back alive and glittering in the sunlight. 

“Kobi, I’m sorry” Alastor’s near silent whisper had Cody turning to his baby brother who was wrapped up in Tech’s arms. 

A sigh escaped the oldest brother who could only reach for both his brothers hands, Kix and Crosshair remained accepting his hands, Cody didn’t pull them towards him, instead he moved into their space. 

“I’m not mad, I’m proud of both of you and what you have accomplished. I now understand why you chose what you did. Although I will never be able to have children again, my powers run through you both, allowing you both the potential to have the children without the burden of our powers. Both of you have done brilliantly and I don’t know our next steps in life but I’d say keep doing what you are doing as there will be a day where it all ends. I am honoured to be your big brother, you two can call me Kobi for now on. I think I need a new start” Cody whispered, kissing both of their heads, he went to pull back when Kix caught his hand. 

“I am honoured to be both of your brothers and I am thankful for both of your sacrifices, although I am unable to heal myself anymore. I hope that the two of you are still around by the time we welcome our soon to be new family member, without both of your gifts, I wouldn’t have been able to live longer. My heart now pumps for all three of us as our powers become one” Kix gently said, he pulled Cody in tighter while he squeezed Crosshairs hand since the marksman was still in Tech’s arms, the engineer being silent. “Plus I hope there is a wedding coming up soon” Kix teased looking at Tech who blushed, Crosshair only grinning squeezing the hands tighter. 

“I don’t say this often but due to meeting you two and getting to know you both, I can safely say that I have managed to express a side of me that I didn’t think was capable. So thank you for not only keeping me safe and loving me but for just being there. I couldn’t ask for better brothers and to be fair, I’m not too bothered about my wings as I know that sacrifice paid off well” Crosshair softly murmured, he was struggling to come up with words when all three of their eyes glowed.
