Plagued by nightmares of what awaits the ARC twins, I rescue Echo from Lola Sayu, sparing him the fate planned by the Techno Union. The Batch and I bring him back to Naboo for medical attention, but bad news soon strikes; a recording of me on Lola Sayu got out. Also, apparently, there's a portal on Naboo now too. Which leads to a particular moon base, before it was destroyed. How interesting.

Almost a month after joining the Bad Batch, it's finally time for Shadow to meet Commander Cody.

With the coordinates in hand, or rather in my mind, the Bad Batch and I set off to my planet Kelusia to retrieve the deadly Kelusyte crystal. After convincing the local Rageryans our intentions are good and scouring the region for the materials to safely acquire the crystal, we embark on a journey into the planet's core. And, as usual, it goes about as well as expected.

Well, now I know what the Bad Batch need my help with: Accessing the coordinates to a planet that could very well be one from my original stories. To obtain that information, I need to lead them over the river and through the woods to the Vault, a magical cave that houses the coordinates. It's just a simple hike there and back. What could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately... a lot.

While sitting in my room in April 2020, vibin', I'm suddenly launched into the Clone Wars universe and find myself on a world in the Outer Rim roughly 5 months after the Battle of Kamino. Salt and self-awareness of fanfic tropes ensue, but I soon realize I have bigger problems; the Bad Batch is after me to help them on a mission. Not only that, but this isn't exactly the Clone Wars I remember. Why are they after me, you ask? Good question, let's find out together.
