“So boys, our main mission; is to take down the caretaker and take out the guards, freeing the innocent children of…” 

Squad 99 listened carefully to their captain, known as Rex, as the bad batch as they called themselves teamed up with a small squad of the 501st. One member was snoozing under their helmet and wasn't paying attention to the plan, he just wanted revenge on one of the guards in there as secretly he had grown up within the walls. 

“Do we all agree?” 

“Sir yes sir” was heard amongst them all. 

“Lieutenant?” Rex turned to the silent one who nodded, the younger man hadn't spoken a single word in his life and yet Rex had adopted him as a brother. “Good, move out men” his order had the two squads running off to do their own thing. 

Fifteen Long Minutes Later…

“Sarge, I'm bored. When can we blow something up?” 

“Not yet Wrecker, how's it looking Phee? Tech?” 

“Almost there Hunter, we just need…” 

“Good, Megs? Cross…” 

“All good here, not a bug in sight, Crosshair has just entered the B-sight” 

“Thanks for the update Megs, stay sharp, me and Rex are entering 5.3. We should…” 

Hearing his teammates talk wasn't his priority as he remained in the shadows, sneaking around guards, not taking them down because they deserved much better, he'd show them later on. With ease, he snuck into the B-Wing, the prisons in other words, he moved without a sound, he spotted skeletons and dead individuals. The smaller bodies had him looking away as he found a monitor, he easily accessed it and found the data files they needed. Without a sound, he moved on further into the facility. 

“Everyone pull back! They know we are here! Get to safety” 

“Bad batch! Round up!” 

“Rex, heat signatures are coming from…argh!” 

“Kix! Get off my husband!” 

“Jess!? Echo, Fives! Down!” 

“KIX! NOOOOOO!” 

“Rex! We need major help in the D-Sight! Kix is down! I repeat Kix is down and Jesse has lost it!” 

“On our way Fives! Stay behind cover!” 

“Rex!” 

“Sergeant get down!” 

A frown flickered over his features as he hid behind a wall, only to spot on a screen the 501st squad who had been captured as had the 99 batch. Omega and Kix were being held captive to get the others to cooperate. 

“Well I bring thanks to you all for bringing back my weapon” a feminine tone had all heads turning to a clear scientist, a Kaminoan, the last of her species was surrounded by lethal droids. 

“Who are you?” Rex questioned. 

“Oh how rude. My name is Naslea. Also known as Nala Se, head scientist of the Kaminoan Division back in the plague wars. Now I suggest you quieten down otherwise I will turn these both into nothing but smudges of dust” Nala Se smirked when she noticed the anger on the others faces. 

“D1, put the blond and brunette in the other cell, it's time we turn our plans into missions” Nala Se ordered the battle droid who nodded, dragging Kix and Omega into a smaller cell, opposite the other which hosted Rex, Jesse, Fives, Echo, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech and Phee.
