The Clone Wars: Fun with the clones!

ARC Ghost Fives

*Let's just pretend that the clones are Force-Sensitive, okay? And that Fives did succeed in warning the Jedi about Order 66 and all of that. However, he was killed by Fox before the Jedi believed him. So everyone lives, Anakin doesn't fall to the darkside and he doesn't kill the Jedi younglings. He also becomes a Master on the Jedi Council and he happily raises his kids with Padme. The Separatists were defeated, Palpatine was killed, Order 66, didn't happen and the war was over. Now, Fives is a Force Ghost along with the other dead members of Torrent Company. He is with Echo and the Bad Batch who live on the Havoc Marauder and so yeah...*

Fives was a ghost but he couldn't care less. He was able to stay with Echo and that was enough for Fives. Fives also couldn't help but pranking his brother's new squad. It was fun for him but not that much fun for the Bad Batch. Echo would help prank the rest of the Bad Batchers with Fives. Not much had changed, the ARC Twins were still partners in crime. Even if one was a ghost, nothing would ever change. 

"Okay, who took my toothpicks? I swear if it was one of the regs, I don't know what I'll do." Crosshair grumbled.

Hunter shook his head, with a small smile. "I'm sure you can deal without chewing on your toothpicks for at least once in your life, Crosshair."

"No, I can't. Besides, how would you feel if your entire knife collection went missing? You wouldn't be able to deal with it at all." Crosshair shot back.

"Speaking of knife collections, Hunter have you checked on your knife collection recently? It'd be a shame if something happened to them." Fives said with a grin, as he appeared.

Wrecker shouted in fright. "Fives, you have got to stop appearing out of nowhere! It's kind of scary to see nothing and then the next second you appear! Quit doing that!" Wrecker complained.

"Well, I am a ghost. I can't just stay around forever! I go and scare General Skywalker from time to time. He still isn't used to seeing Force Ghosts. I also disappear to go to realm of the Force and be with Hardcase, Dogma, Tup, and other clones. Then I reappear and join all of you living beings and scare unsuspecting clones when I do appear out of nowhere." Fives said, enthusiastically. 

"Okay, whatever, being a Ghost is great and all. What were you saying about my knife collection, Fives? Did you do something with my knives?" Hunter accused Fives with a frown.

Fives grinned and faked innocence. "Maybe I took your knives and hid them. Maybe I took Crosshair's toothpicks. Maybe I stole Tech's datapad and maybe I took all of Echo's regulation manuals. And maybe I like scaring Wrecker because I'm a Force Ghost."

"Maybe? What do you mean maybe?"

"Ok fine. I did it. I was bored, okay? The land of the living is kind of boring compared to being a Force Ghost. I was bored and I had no control of taking your stuff." Fives shrugged.

"FIVES! I DEMAND YOU TO GIVE THEM BACK OR I WILL BAN YOUR GLOWING GHOST FROM MY SHIP!" Hunter yelled.

Fives narrowed his eyes at Hunter. "You wouldn't dare. You know I'd haunt your sorry shebs for the rest of your life. Even if you did try and ban me, I could go through the ship's walls. I am a Ghost, remember? You couldn't ban me if you tried." Fives smirked. He saw the knife that Hunter was hiding and grabbed it. Fives faded away before Hunter had a chance to react.

"FIVES GET BACK HERE, YOU ARC TERROR! GIVE ME MY KNIVES BACK, FIVES!" Hunter yelled, his hands balled up in fists as he yelled at the spot where Fives had been.

At least two minutes had passed by and Fives hadn't come back. Hunter was getting even more mad by the minute. Wrecker shouted as a Ghost appeared but it wasn't Fives. The clone had long hair that was up in a bun and he had a small teardrop tattoo near his eye. The clone was shy and it took him a while to speak up.

"My name's Tup. Echo knows me but the rest of you don't. I don't know you either and I have no idea why Fives chose me to deliver his message. Anyways, Fives says that the knife collection is frozen in a big block of ice. The toothpicks are hidden in one of the vents in the ship, Fives didn't say which. Tech's datapad is taped to the ceiling of the ship in Echo's room. Echo's reg manuals are hidden under Echo's bed. Anyways, I'm going now. Bye!" Tup said, floating around Wrecker's head.

"Wait! Get Fives! He's in so much trouble!" Hunter shouted as Tup disappeared. "Ugh, those ghosts are so annoying. Always appearing and disappearing when they want to."

"How am I supposed to get into the vents? I need my toothpicks!" Crosshair groaned out.

"That doesn't matter. My knives are frozen! It's going to take forever to unfreeze them!" Hunter hissed.

"If my datapad falls from the ceiling I will strangle Fives." Tech said, grabbing a ladder and leaving the room to retrieve his datapad. 

"I'm a Force Ghost, you can't strangle me. I'm already dead!" Fives laughed from the vent in the ship. He dropped Crosshair's pack of toothpicks on Crosshair's head. 

"Fives, can you please stop pranking us for at least once in your life?" Echo asked, softly. His eyes widened when he realized what he said. "I didn't mean that. Bad choice of words, I'm sorry Fives." Echo hurriedly, said. 

 Fives shrugged and grinned. "It's okay, Echo. I like being a ghost, but I'll stop pranking you guys for a while. I went a little overboard this time with Hunter's knives."

"A little? Fives, you owe me something! It's going to take forever to unfreeze that block of ice!" Hunter complained.

"Well, if it's a life debt that I owe you, then I can't do it. I'm already dead, remember? Anyways, have fun getting your knives! I'm going to go visit Fox!" Fives grinned.

"Wait, Fives. Fox killed you, don't you hate him?" Wrecker asked, a confused expression on his face. 

"No, Fox is actually pretty cool. I don't blame him at all. First, he thought that his blaster was set for stun when he shot me. Not only that but he was under Palpatine's control. It wasn't his fault. We're good friends, actually." Fives said.

"Fives, you can see Fox later. Right now, you're helping me unfreeze my knives! You're not going anywhere until they're out of the ice." Hunter ordered. 

"Yeah, no thank you. I'm going to see Fox now. Bye Hunter." Fives said as he disappeared again.

"FIVES GET BACK HERE! UGH, YOU ANNOYING REG, GET BACK HERE! FIVES!" Hunter yelled. "He's not coming back anytime soon, is he?" Hunter asked Echo.

Echo shook his head. He knew his brother wouldn't appear until he was sure all of the ice had melted. Hunter sighed as he got the ice block out of the freezer. 

Fives came back, fives hours later when the ice had fully melted. It wasn't the last time that Fives had freezed Hunter's knives.
