Part 2 of 2 for the season finale!!!!
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
The once white, sterile halls of Kamino were dark and shaking. Sparks of wires provided the only light as the city collapsed. It shuddered and jolted, providing no clear footholds as the Bad Batch ran for safety.
Crosshair was over Wrecker's shoulder, unconscious from Hunter's stun. Alarms blared as they ran. The only thing Althea could hear over them was Hunter's yells.
"Go! Go!" He cried as they ran. A flash of fire broke in front of them, knocking them back. Sound was reduced to a high ringing as they recovered from the explosion. The floor shifted as the tried to stand and run. Crosshair, having fallen from Wrecker's hold, slid down the floor with Omega, grunting in pain as debris fell on him.
"Hunter!" Omega cried as the squad slid past her, since she was caught by rubble. Sparks flew on either side of the wall and the doors slammed shut.
Hunter reached out for her, but he was too late. "Omega–!" The building shuddered again. He fell to the floor and everything went dark.

"Omega? Omega, wake up!"
The young clone groaned as her eyes opened. A metal hand shook her shoulder. She looked up to see the bright yellow eyes of AZI looking down at her. "AZI?" She asked.
"I do not wish to alarm you, but if you do not vacate this compartment, you will soon perish, and I will be left here on my own!"
Omega took her light and shined it on her surroundings. Water streamed in from multiple leaks in the ceiling, flowing in steadily. The room was already knee deep in water and rubble covered everything. She turned around and found a familiar face, unconscious and trapped under the debris.
Omega gasped and ran to his side. "Crosshair!" She grunted as she tried to move the sheet of metal that covered him, but it didn't even budge. The reality of their situation hit Omega like the debris around her. She took her comm and raised it too her mouth.
"Hunter, do you copy? Tech? Echo? Is anyone there? Wrecker? Thea?" She couldn't hide the panic in her voice, not when the water level was rising.
On the other side of the door, Hunter groaned and pressed his comm. "Yeah, kid. Are you okay?"
"Not really. The room is flooding. And Crosshair's stuck."
Hunter stood and saw the door in front of him. "Get the door open, Tech." He ordered.
The pilot tapped his datapad. "All compromised compartments are sealed to contain the flooding. I cannot override the protocols from here."
"I can." Wrecker grabbed his knife and stabbed it into the door, prying it open. Althea joined him, taking her own blade to use as leverage. Water trickled out slowly, but not enough to drain the room.
Crosshair groaned as he opened his eyes, squinting at the bright light in front of him.
"Greetings, CT-9904." Said AZI. Crosshair tried to get up, but his legs were trapped. "Yes survived the aerial bombardment but are now moments away from drowning."
"Get this off of me!" Crosshair said, his breaths becoming more shallow.
Omega grunted as she tried to lift the metal. The water was to her waist. "AZI, help!"
Once the droid was there lifting the rubble, Omega dove under and tried to lift it. It was no use. She swam back up, coughing. The water was up to Crosshair's chin now, and he was unable to move.
