The Bad Batch: Book 3

Part 37: I Am Ready

Luna's POV 

A long sight left my mouth as I placed my back against the old tree and my hand landed on Batcher's back. My eyes traveled around seeing all the clones we saved now finally free from their prison. Sami, Eva, Jax, and Bayrn were getting great along with Mox, Stak, and Deke who were looking after them. Batcher winded making me look at her. She was so happy to see us back. I couldn't ask for a better hound than her. 

Hearing steps I looked to my left seeing Hunter approaching me. He took a seat next to me undernet the tree. 

Me: "With Hemlock gone and his data destroyed, they are finally safe." 

Hunter: "Yeah. And so are you." 

Me: "Will it take long to find their homes?" 

I asked as I looked towards the kids seeing them happily eating the food Lyana brought them. 

Hunter: "Rex and I are working on it, but we'll look after them until then." 

Me: "Of course." 

I looked towards the shuttle and saw Echo, Crosshair, Wrecker, and Echo talking. 

Hunter: "It's a miracle he's here." 

Me: "It truly is." 

The shuttle began to turn on and Echo began to approach it. Before stepping onto the stairs that led up the ship he looked at Hunter and me. 

Me: "See you soon brother." 

He nodded with a smile and then he left with the shuttle. He had a mission and I know that he will do his best to help the galaxy. 

Me: "What about the rest of the clones? Will they stay here on Pabu?" 

Hunter: "Well, it's up to them. They are free to follow their own paths." 

I looked at him. 

Hunter: "We all fought enough battles for one lifetime. Now we get to choose who we want to be. Do you still want to stay here?" 

Me: "There is no place I would rather be." 

I said as I placed my hand on top of his making a smile appear on his face. I placed my head against his shoulder and he turned his hand around so our fingers could lock to each other. Crosshair, Wrecker, and Tech approached us. All of them took a seat around us and I shared a look with each of them. 

It was over now. 

A month later...

Lyana: "You are so beautiful, Luna." 

With a smile, I looked back at her. Today was a very special day. A day I never thought I would ever be able to experience. Looking back into the mirror I looked down my wedding dress. The dress was the same dress I was wearing on the day I was kissed. I had flowers in my hair like that time and there was also a bouquet in my hands. 

Behind my neck, there was a necklace that Echo gave me. I hope he and Rex won't be late. A knock came on the doors and as Lyana opened them there I saw Echo. Turning my body fully towards him Lyana allowed him to enter the room. His eyes winded in shock as a big proud smile appeared on his face. 

Echo: "You are so beautiful, Luna." 

Me: "Are you saying that because I am the bride or because you are my brother?" 

Echo: "Because it's the truth. Are you ready?" 

Me: "More than ever." 

He took my hand and we began to make our way up the stairs and up the walls. The tradition of this island was that the bride had to walk up the walls and stairs so it would bring her and her love happiness. The grume had to proper the home and find the most beautiful pearl to bring them a fortune. He did that alright now it was my turn.
