There was once a story of a man who could take on whole armies and survive. A man thought to be more machine than human, something that could rival the Sith. That story was wrong, this man could take on empires and the Sith, they feared him. His nam...
As the Spirit of Fire docked with the large battleship, Blue Team immediately went to the hangar where the Marauder had landed. With Chief leading the front and Fives bringing up the rear, Blue Team quickly reloaded their weapons and flicked the safeties off of their blasters. Clone force 99 was known to use tactics that inflicted maximum damage, so if they were onboard, this had the potential for being a massive problem.
As Chief walked through the large blast door leading into the hangar, he saw Hunter and Tech talking in front of the ship's ramp and Wrecker bringing something out from inside the ship. Crosshair was nowhere to be seen and there was a fourth trooper in a unique clone trooper armour that Chief did not recognize.
"Hold it right there!" 117 called out with his hand on his holster. Putting their hands in the air, Hunter told Chief that they were friendly and not a threat. Having earned his trust after their shared mission on Mustafar, the Spartan believed him, telling Blue Team to stand down.
However, he got a strange feeling from the fourth member of the Bad Batch, his armour was definitely unique, just like the rest of the Bad Batch. But he had a cybernetic arm and what appeared to be robotic legs. The troopers augmentations appeared similar to Rush Clovis' on Fulucia, only more streamlined and designed for movement and comfort rather than pain-inducing and combat focused. His armour was definitely custom designed, with the same colour scheme as the rest of the Batch, but like all of them, unique in its own way, sporting a single pistol instead of the regular DC-17m or even a DC-15a carbine.

"Fives? Is that really you vod?" The trooper asked, staring right through the rest of Blue Team and straight to the ARC trooper. Removing his helmet, the trooper revealed himself to be Echo, thought to be dead after the mission on Lola Sayu. Running towards each other, the last two members of Domino Squad grabbed each other in a tight embrace. Both had thought that the other was dead, meaning that this news was beyond good.
Turns out that Echo was still alive after the shuttle exploded and was recovered by the Citadel's droid forces. After being stabilized, he was then transported to Skako Minor where the Trade Union experimented on him and put wires into his brain, allowing the Separatist to access all the strategies that Echo had created over the years alongside Fives, Rex, and Cody. The Bad Batch had only found him because they traced a rogue clone signature back to the facility, which led to them breaking him out and welcoming him into the squad.
From there, Echo and the Bad Batch fought in numerous battles before Order 66 went out whilst they were on Kaller. But the order did not affect the Batch because of how many augmentations they had, well; besides Crosshair. Long story short, when the Bad Batch returned to Kamino, Crosshair betrayed them and they escaped with Omega.
"Wait, what is an Omega?" Hardcase asked from the back of the group. To which a blonde girl stepped out of the Marauder, she had facial features similar to that of the clones and wore Kaminoan styled clothes. Laboratory white covered most of the outfit with some grey outlines and a few dark maroon stripes to finish the clothes' design. "She is the only female clone, an experiment by Nala Se. From what I've gathered, she does not have an age modifier and is almost a direct copy from our original donor, Jango Fett, besides the gender difference of course."
