#the bad batch rex

[clone-trooper-cheese]

Bad Batch au where Rex raises omega instead while the Bad Batch fights the empire (crosshair doesn't go bad in this)

He was so prepared to take care of her

People are more lively to believe they are Father and Daughter too because of their similar features. Ahsoka helps Omega learn about her force sensitivity even though it's not that strong. Omega becomes a Fulcrum when she's older.

Rex: Do I even weigh anything to you?

Wrecker: No, it’s like holding a couple of grapes.

[leapingbadger]

So… when are we getting a new show/shorts of Hunter and Rex returning the force sensitive kids? Cos I need that, yesterday!

[justjettithings]

when I saw how crosshair, echo, and rex were interacting with omega these past 2 episodes:

Behind-the-Scenes Interviews (Part 19) An Interview with Some Clones: Fireball: It was a lot of fun to get to be part of the clones in this season, and fun fact, I did actually cook the food everyone ate on set with Gregor’s help. Nemec: The clones all start one early rebellion against the Empire and then as time goes on there’s a larger rebellion organized, as this is only the beginning. Rex: The Clone Wars may be over, but there’s a new bigger fight that needs our attention when so many clones are being put at risk against their will. Howzer: I think we’d all be happy to return in future clone content to keep the fight going or just have some fun stories told about us. Wolffe: You’ll just have to wait and see for more possible news about our return in the future.

Do you guys think Omega could be appearing on the Ahsoka series s2?

She is part of the rebellion now so who knows?

Week 3. “Give me your hand.”

read here on Ao3

words: 234

Omega sprinted through the battlefield, shooting imps left and right when she saw Rex getting surrounded out of the corner of her eye.

She turned course and ran towards him, putting her crossbow back in its holster as she sprinted over to where a few imperial tanks were near him.

Omega dodged blaster fire, running up the side of the tank and launching herself off the top, flying above the circle of imps as she held out her hand. 

“Give me your hand!” She yelled as she soared above her brother, the clone in question grinning as he jumped and grabbed her hand, flying over the rest of the stormtroopers with a laugh.

“You’re crazy, kid!” Rex shot down stormtroopers from his spot in the air as Omega took her “borrowed” inquisitor lightsaber and started deflecting lasers, and they rolled to a stop, standing back to back and slowly turning, Rex attacking and Omega defending.

A gunship flying closer caught Omega’s eye, and she called over her shoulder “Ship’s here!”

Rex glanced back at her, grunting as he ducked beneath a blaster bolt “Don’t you dare!” He yelled.

She grinned and pushed the remaining stormtroopers away, then, launching Rex upwards as he yelped. She quickly jumped after him, rolling to a stop on the landing deck with a grunt.

Rex sighed as he stood up, taking off his helmet “You’re worse than General Skywalker.”

You know originally I didn't like that Echo went off with Rex, especially after what happened with Tech, but Ive been watching the clone wars to catch up on lore I missed (I never fully watched the clone wars. Younger me couldn't commit) and I realise that Echo was probably a lot closer with Rex than he was with the Batch. Not to say he wasn't close and didn't care for them, but he didn't have the same history with them as he did with Rex and he probably felt more at home with Rex at times. So I'm less mad about it now that I know this and I've seen them together prior to the bad batch. From a viewers perspective I'm sad to see him away from the people I perceive to be his family. But from a characteristic point of view it makes the most sense

Thoughts on The Bad Batch S3 EP2

Spoilers after the cut

Hunter and Wrecker messing with the Pykes??? Desperate times call for desperate measures….

Roland!!!

Hunter only has one pauldron, maybe showing he is missing something. Or someone. He is not whole anymore. He doesn’t even have his scarf. And his armor is so scratched. Wrecker and him must have been through so much trying to find Omega.

Tech googles here. And Lula. It’s clever, they are showing us who is missing.

”Defective and effective!”

Baby regs!!!

Experiment weapons???? Hemlock? This is what you’re trying to do??

Hunter is desperate. He doesn’t care about reinforcements anymore… he just wants Omega back. He can’t imagine what she is going through… He is trying to hold back, but emotions are like waves, the more you repressed them, the higher the wave (yes I am a psycho student).

Ohhhh Deke is helping the batch!!

I don’t trust this jungle… inside the facility, it’s giving the Last of Us vibes.

Nooo! Don’t steal the Marauder! Or you’re dead!

It’s Hunter now using the data pad…

A sarlacc? Has Hemlock been experimenting on a sarlacc?

The cavalry has arrived!

Hemlock has created this insane monster. What is he trying to obtain? Does he want obedient creatures for the Empire, or for himself? I think Hemlock wants power, not simply to serve the Empire. I believe he has greater ambitions no matter the means.

Hunter feels so alone. No sound and no music during this scene in the Marauder.

Wrecker is here for Hunter.

Ohhh the baby regs are going to Pabu. Is Hunter going to adopt them all?

Can we have a scene where Crosshair finds the Batch with this three little regs and asks: “Again, Hunter?” I am already thinking is so many ideas that might fit in a fanfic here!

Why can’t we have more seasons? When I began watching the bad batch I wasn’t really hoping to love it, but now I am so hooked… I don’t’ know how i am supposed to live knowing that the Bad Batch won’t have more adventures… maybe we can have novels with the bad batch??? Comics??? Pretty please???

Hello there! Thank you for offering comfort from our favorite characters :)

I’m sick and really stressed out at work. I’ve been falling asleep to the clone wars so I can listen to Captain Rex’s voice and I’d love to hear from him.

Bonus image: I really want a forehead kiss from him in my fever dreams lol

"Cyar'ika, it's going to be okay. Come here to me. I missed you. I hate being away from you for so long. But I'm here now and everything will be okay. I'm staying here with you and will take care of you. Has a medical droid seen you? Are you sure it's nothing serous? I will get one to examine you again, just to be sure. On the way I will get us something to eat and you can tell me everything that has happened while I was gone. We will work out everything together. "

- Rex

Delivery

Summary: While on the famous Nerf Nugget delivery for Cid, Hunter and Echo clash over their philosophies and future plans.

“Was that the last crate?” Echo asked as Hunter made his way up the step of the marauder.

“Uhuh,” Hunter replied, tossing the case of credits at him in the pilot seat.

“What’s our cut?” Echo asked.

“Not enough,” Hunter grumbled.

Delivering nerf nuggets wasn’t exactly the best use of his expertise he thought as he sank into the co-pilot seat.

“I’m not sure why Cid only sent the two of us on this mission.” Echo said, flicking a few switches above him and making the Marauder roar to life.

“It’s a delivery, Echo, not a mission. It didn’t require the whole team.”

“Maybe she’s got something else in mind for the others that she didn’t share,” Echo said pointedly.

Hunter paused and sighed, “I wouldn’t put it past her. The sooner we get going to sooner we get back and see what they’ve been up to.”

“Well, let���s hope she doesn’t try to sell any of them.” Echo said, eyebrow raised.

Hunter rolled his eyes and chuckled, “I did apologize for that multiple times.”

Echo laughed as he guided the ship through the dark grey clouds, “I know. Maybe next time we’ll sell you.”

Hunter laughed. “I’m not sure I’d make a very good droid,” he said, taking a bite out of a ration stick and putting his foot up on the console.

“You ever think of going into the entertainment business? There are a couple of Twi’lek’s at Cids who I know would pay for your company,”

“ECHO!” Hunter threw his half-eaten ration bar at his brother. Echo’s Arc trooper training came in handy as he ducked out of the way and shoved Hunter’s shoulder, grinning from ear to ear.

As they cleared the atmosphere Echo pulled the lever sending them into the hypnotic blue swirls of hyperspace. Hunter watched his brother relax in the pilot seat and tear the top off his own ration bar. He sniffed it wearily before taking a hesitant bite.  Hunter smiled, Echo did this every time he ate.

“It’s probably time to cut ties with Cid.” he said, his mouth full and muffled.

“I know,” Hunter said, running his hand though his hair. “But then what do we do? We need credits, clothes, food, fuel…”

“We could get in touch with Rex. Join his network…” Echo said. The blue light of hyperspace bouncing off the metal parts inserted into his skull.

He mentioned it casually, like it had just come to mind but Hunter knew he’d been ruminating on it since they’d last seen Rex on Bracca. Hunter hung his head as silence permeated the air and he thought how to respond. He wanted to be sensitive, show Echo that he understood the pull to his old squad mate. But his hesitation to speak seemed to give Echo impetus to continue.

“If we worked with Rex we could use his support system, senators, mechanics… we could do something that matters.”

“Keeping us safe and together matters, Echo.” Hunter said quietly.

He felt Echo’s eyes on him and lifted his head to meet them. The Arc trooper’s intense golden gaze was impossible to turn away from and very difficult to say no to. Hunter had learned that the hard way over the last few months.

“We’re meant for more than this, Hunter.” Echo said seriously. “You know that.”

“You sound like Crosshair,” Hunter said, involuntarily wincing at the mention of his lost brother’s name.

“He’s not right about a lot these days. But he was right about that.” Echo said gruffly.

Hunter shot him a look but again said nothing. Time as the leader of the squad had afforded him some perspective and learning to hold his tongue or wait to voice an opinion was one of the enduring lessons he took with him.

“I understand your hesitation, but we’d not be putting much more on the line than we do now.” Echo continued unabated.

“You know why we can’t do that.” Hunter said firmly.

“Why? because of Omega?”

Hunter sighed. Of course, it was because of Omega. She should have a peaceful life, An actual childhood. Over the last few months she’d been shot at, chased, kidnapped and almost died in a sinking city. She needed a break. He needed a break.

“She’s a child. She deserves…” Hunter looked around as though the right words would fall from the blue clouds of hyperspace, “…I don’t know, safety, peace, a family…”

“We tried to give her that with Cut and Suu, Hunter. She ran. She chose us, she chose this.” He gestured to the Marauder, scattered with bits of machinery, blankets, empty food wrappers and debris.

“She’s our responsibility, Echo. We have to make the best decision for her and the rest of the squad. Even if it’s not necessarily what we want.”

Echo stood up in frustration and slammed his scomp into the durasteel siding. Hunter watched as he walked to the back of the ship, left hand on his hip, his boots clanging on the grated floor.

It was rare for Echo to lose his temper. That was one of the reasons Hunter enjoyed having him as a member of the squad. With the big personalities of Wrecker, Tech and Crosshair, when he was with them, Echo was steady and sound. He was another voice of reason that Hunter could always rely on.

The light on Echo’s metal headpiece flickered rapidly and Hunter wondered if that was a visual clue to Echo’s racing thoughts. Hunter forced himself up to continue the conversation, knowing he probably wouldn’t like the outcome.

He sank into the red chair next to the communication array and swiveled. Echo knew he was there but kept his back to him for a moment longer. They had had a similar conversation on their way to Serenno, in the exact same spot.

“I understand that this isn’t what you signed up for when you joined us,” Hunter said softly “It isn’t something I would have signed up for either. But this isn’t a fight we can win. I don’t like running anymore than you do, it’s not in my nature but some things are more important. Keeping Omega safe is more important. Keeping you all alive is more important. I can’t change the fundamentals of our situation. But I understand if this isn’t where you want to be anymore.”

Hunter kept his head down but looked up at Echo, like he was taming a wounded animal. Echo’s large eyes flickered left and right as though searching for the right words.

“I lost so much time on Skako. I’m not sure how much more time I’m willing to…sacrifice, when I know I could be making a difference.” Echo said.

“I respect that.” Hunter responded gently, trying to keep as much emotion out of his voice as possible. He didn’t want Echo to leave. Didn’t want to be responsible for the desertion of another brother. But just like Crosshair, if that’s what he chose, who was Hunter to get in the way?

“I don’t want to leave,” Echo said. The corners of Hunter mouth ticked up and he tried his best to hide it but failed, “I know your jobs not easy, keeping us together and in one piece.” Hunter nodded, thankful for the acknowledgement. “But I’m not going to be able to do this forever.”

“Understood.” Hunter said. He clapped Echo on the shoulder and started to head back to the cockpit.

“Hunter?”

“Hmm?”

“I can’t believe I’ve never asked this before but what do you want?”

“What do you mean?” Hunter responded, confused.

“Out of life. What do you want?” Echo asked again, his gravely voice curious.

Hunter shrugged, “I dunno, nothing much. Settle on a remote planet somewhere. Watch Omega grow up. We could all have our own space but be close. You know, peace, I guess.”

“Hmm” said Echo with a wistful smile. “Sounds nice.”

“Maybe one day,” Hunter said.

bad batch spoilers

HOWZERS BACK?!! RIYO!! SEEING ALL CLONES TOGETHER!! OMEGA COPYING CROSSHAIR! CROSSHAIR CARING FOR OMEGA AND BEING ALL DAD OVER HER

REX AND WOLFFE INTERACTION AHHH

THE MASKED SOLDIER FIGHT

[skywalkerrtno]

Ok, but what if Echo is the one who dies.

That would explain so many things.

As for example why he is never seen or mentioned in rebels.

Yet again, we could maybe get a new series where we get to see Echo, Rex, and the other clones fight to free their brothers. Maybe something goes wrong and Echo (again) dies, this explains why Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor decide to retire from service and just live.

Is there any possible scenario where he lives?
