#thats why hes an arc trooper

[coruscantguard]

groundhog day fic of "orders", except its echo pov and he somehow gets yeeted to coruscant for it. he spends so much of the fic confused because he has literally no idea what keeps resetting the loop. more and more incredibly complicated coincidences keep happening to keep him from realizing that it's fives' death that's resetting the whole thing. when he finally learns that it's fives' death, he learns it in the most ridiculous way possible. this is the kind of dark comedy fic i think we deserve.

[im-here-and-im-confused]

so i drew fives because i was sad i made myself sad watching the whole 'fives finding out about the chips thing' AND NOW IM JUST SAD. i made a few attempts without a reference picture and then i gave up and got a reference ya know.

The Day the World became silent.

In my last Picture with my Clone boys you may have noticed something in Kick's Ear: A hearing aid. On one of his missions as a former ARC Trooper he lost his hearing which is why he now sports it pretty much everywhere he goes ^^ (Thats also the reason why he has a slithly more crooked nose ;))

Wrecker tapped the 'fresher lights on, bathing the room in light and illuminating Echo's hunched over form. He was sitting in the flat shower expanse, just to the side of the drain with his feet pressed to the wall. His arms were in his lap and his shoulders curled forward. He looked entirely miserable.

When he spoke, he sounded miserable. "The light was off for a reason."

"So you could hide."

"Not hiding."

"Watcha doing then?"

"Sulking in the dark like every good, cultured ARC trooper does from time to time."

Wrecker didn't know any other ARC troopers, but he really doubted that was a thing. Echo was hiding, and he couldn't really blame him. Joining a new unit must be terrifying. Joining a unit like their team, even more so. He knew they didn't really seem that welcoming. And that they were really bad with change. Poor Echo left a crazily traumatic experience and didn't really have a home to return to. And in his new home, he didn't even have a space of his own.

Which probably explained why he was hiding in a shower. It was quiet, and more importantly, private. Well, until Wrecker intruded on him.

Despite knowing Echo probably wanted privacy, Wrecker couldn't fathom leaving him alone. So he took the few steps into the area and as gently as he could, sat down with his back against Echo's.

"You know," he whispered softly, "they dont mean to come across as, uh, rude as they do. They forget that you don't know them like I do. That you can't tell what is serious and whats just fun."

"I know." Echo replied just as softly.

"Then why're you hidin' in the 'fresher?"

Wrecker felt him shrug. "Figured it would be better to feel alone if I were actually alone."

He frowned, pain for Echo filling his chest. "Echo, you aren't alone!"

"Feels like it. You all have your groups. Your person. I'm a piece of another puzzle trying shove its way into a complete picture."

"Thats not true." Wrecker insisted earnestly. "Not to me! I know you've lost all your people, but I want to be one of them too. I'd much rather you come to me when you feel lonely then hide in a shower."

"Really?"

The hope in Echo's voice was almost more painful than the dejection had been. Wrecker didn't hesitate to nod.

"Of course! Always! You may not have realized it yet, but I consider you one of my people. You can always come to me."

Echo was silent for a long moment before he spoke in a grateful, relieved tone, "Thank you, Wrecker."

"Anytime, Echo."

Heres my thoughts on every possible raiden ship. (This is only with games that hes in)

Raiden x sam : eh. Not for me. But go off

Raiden x rose : N̵̢̨͔̖̻̲͍͇̣̥͇͛̐̑͌́̋̓̿̐͘ơ̶̡͍̬͈̟̪͇͙̙̠͇͐̆̀̄̄͊͐̈́͛̏͑̉̅̈́͜͝͝ͅ

Raiden x snake : N̵̡̛̳̘͕̲̤͈̗̋͂̈̿̊̀̒̉͌̃̅̈̓͂̚͝Ŏ̶̡̝̦̻̗̤̤̳̟̪̙̻͙̮̉͒͐̃͛̑̀̀͑̚͠

Raiden x otacon: why?

Raiden x fortune: huh?

Raiden x vamp: kill it with fire.

Raiden x emma: also kill it with fire

Raiden x ocelot: are you braindead?

Raiden x solidus: go to jail

Raiden x M.G. RAY: now were talkin/j

Raiden x olga : it just doesnt feel right.

Raiden x armstrong: KILL ITTT KILL ITTTT EW

Raiden x monsoon: uuuuhhhhh

Raiden x mistral: youre only in it for the porn

Raiden x sundowner: eeeewwwwwwwwwww

Raiden x courtney: surprisingly not that bad. but still no

Raiden x kevin: i dont see it at all. Theyre bros

Raiden x boris: what?

Raiden x doktor: WHAT??!!!

Raiden x bladewolf: kys

Raiden x mei ling: that....doesnt make sense at all.

Raiden x jack the ripper : WE DONT DO SELFCEST IN THIS HOUSE

Raiden x me: YUP I SHIP IT MMHM MHMM GOOD SHIT GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE THATS THE ONLY SHIP THAT MATTERS /hj

Raiden x myrle: she is a married woman how dare you

Raiden x johnny: SHIT PANTS BOY? HES A MARRIED MAN HOW DARE!

Raiden x any frog trooper : porn's good but absolutely not a good ship.

Raiden x any of the B.B unit : again. Porn might be good but horrible idea for a ship.

Raiden x naomi : eehhhhhhhhhnnnnnno

Raiden x drebin: uuh?

Raiden x gekko: enemies to lovers arc uWu /j

(Bonus)

Raiden x liquid : WERE JUST BLONDE BOYS DOIN WHAT BLONDE BOYS DO--

(Absolutely not)

In conclusion: i dont ship raiden with anyone because he doesnt fit with anyone imo.

This is not telling YOU to not like these ships (maybe you should hate a few). Im just posting my personal opinion.

[rexsterss]

Fives, watching Tup sitting on a table at a criminal planet called Kijimi after running away from Kamino a month ago: oh, he looks so kissable right now

[alien-soop]

Never fall asleep around Fives especially if he can convince Echo to help him out

Part 1 also Jesse and Kix

[rishi-eel]

If ever your fortress caves / You're always safe in mine

In the hours following their return on Anaxes, Rex takes notice when Echo starts fending off his exhaustion. Stasis had been like one long nightmare he could not wake from, Echo admits. He adds a bashful smile, not wanting Rex to worry, not wanting to worry himself, and he knows he’s being silly, he says, but his groggy eyes tell a different story. 

So Rex, in his blacks and tired himself, tells Echo he’ll be right there with him. The human touch soothes Echo into an uneasy sleep, all the hurt he managed to hide in his wakefulness making its way to the surface. Fretful over Echo, Rex wakes frequently, there to hold his brother closer when he starts to whimper in his sleep. His heart aches for him, but also fills with joy for every time he opens his eyes to find Echo still there. Echo is alive and he’s safe. It’s a miracle. Rex can’t remember the last time he felt so at peace.

[keplerbyte]

I got the suicide squad trailer as an ad for youtube and I-

[that-one-weeb-but-starwars]

Must be this tall to Hunt| Boba Fett (tcw age so like 13/14)

Couldnt find a good teen boba gif, so heres bosk instead

Warnings: fake blame,

Reader: female

"You are expelled from the order-"

"What!?" Y/n shouted looking up at the council, "I did nothing! Master Plo! Reason with them!"

"I am sorry little one, I-"

Y/n was heart broken, looking up at the surrounding Jedi, this couldn't be true.

"Master Obi-Wan!" Y/n pleaded.

"Your attachments grow," Windu spoke, "and with them your anger."

"My anger?! My anger?!" Y/n shouted at him.

"Little one please." Plo pleaded, "I have brought a witness."

"You!?" Y/n argued, "Master I demand an answer! Why! Why would you- You out of all People!-"

She watched Anakin walk in guilt ridden on his face, "You!? Anakin! You!?"

He kept quiet as Fives walked in, her world stopping.

"Y-Your lieing!" She shouted, "Fives?! Not you! I trust you and you do this!?"

"Arc Trooper Fives." Windu spoke, " what have you seen Padawan Y/n do?"

Fives looked at her, "I. Saw Genral Y/n with a clone trooper,"

"Im with troopers everyday!" Y/n defended.

"What was Padawan Y/n doing with this clone trooper."

"...intercourse sir." Fives responded.

"Thats Obsurded Fives! And you know it!" Y/n argued, "You're my brothers- Why in gods name would I fuck any of you!"

"Y/n! That is enough!" Plo argued.

"You believe this crap!? You're suppose to have MY back!" Y/n demanded, "I'd have your back no matter what! And you turn on me!"

"Are there any other witnesses?" Fisto spoke.

"Yes." Windu spoke, "bring them in."

Y/n watched, her brothers, the wolf pack, Commandos and even some from the Corosaunt Gaurd walk in, and they strung there string of lies and they strung them high and low, entagled the lies beyond untanglement.

"Padawan L/n is to be expelled from the Order and that is our final verdict."

The platform she was on went downward, the clone troopers who had made there testimonies were gathered at the bottom, a path for her to go through.

"Y/n-" Wolfee spoke reaching out a hand.

"Don't you dare touch me!" She shouted in anger pushing past the clones.

"It had to be done." Commander Thron spoke quietly.

The others nodded.

"Damn it!" Fives shouted running out the room and rushing down the halls, after the light echoing of Y/n's angered footsteps.

She pushed the doors open and just walking out them she stopped, hearing Five's steps behind her.

"General. It had to be done-"

"What!? The lies! The string of lies you built! Why!? Why would you do this to me?!" Y/n argued looking back at the clone.

"We wanted to protect you-"

"Bullshit Fives! Bullshit! I love all of you! All of you!" Y/n shouted, screaming so loud it was sure to be heard all the way down to the lower level.

"Y/n listen!-' he grabbed her shoulders trying to plead with her but she pushed him away ingiting one side of her double sided saber as Fives quickly backed up.

"Touch me again and I'll kill you." She spoke.

"I don't even deserve death. I know- I-" Fives tried to explained, "We wanted to protect you-"

"Then you should of had my back!"

The bright blade turned off and she turned around leaving without a second thought.

"Hey! Wake up!" Boba argued.

Y/n turned her self around as she opened her eyes, "what do you want Fett."

"Rations idiot." He spoke as Y/n sat up, the girl only a year older than Bobba.

She was thrown a rations bar by the boy as they were in a hotel room, she had been sleeping on the couch.

"How much longer we waitin?" She asked taking a crunch out of the bar.

"An hour, I told you that the how much longer last time you woke up." He argued looking through the window.

Y/n kept quiet as she ate her food, it bland and bleak in both tast and color.

Bobba took an arm chair by the window as he ate his own rations. It was silent for a long mintue.

"Did. You have that nightmare again?" He asked.

Y/n looked over at him, "when do I not?"

Boba ate a peice of his own ration bar, he never knew what the nightmare was about, but knew it was the same one, on repeat.

He had the same.

"You, uh. Wanna talk about it?"

She looked his way, then looked away quickly, only able to see the faces of her brothers.

"No." She replied coldy tossing the barely eaten ration bar on the table, her appetite gone, "I'm gonna go scope the roof, don't wait up for me."

She walked towards the door, grabbing the sniper on the way out.

"I'll come with you. Incase someone tries to get you from behind."

"I don't need someone to have my back." Y/n argued.

"Well then Im coming because I want to!"

He pushed past Y/n as she scoffed, following him close behind as they walked towards the steps, somewhere along the way Y/n hacked into a vending Machine, Boba going up the stairs himself, stealing whatever she pleased putting it in her sling bag, enough for her only.

"Sharing is what?" Y/n questioned Woflee

"An opportunity for someoen to get there arm chopped off, it's my food." Wolfee told her.

Y/n sighed, how she hated her own little life lessons to her brothers, and stole more food, enough for both Boba and her, and a little extra.

Walking up the rest of the steps she made it to the door she kicked open with the bottom of her foot.

"Could you try and be quiet?" He seethed.

"I mean. I could. But no." Y/n responded walking towards the edge where Boba sat on a near by utiliy unit.

She sat down setting her back infront of her as she laid herself on her side her back to Boba the lights of the bright city below barely reaching the top of the tall hotel they sat on.

"You want one?"

Boba looked over seeing Y/n holding up a soda.

"Where did you get that?"

"Stole it."

Rolling his eyes he walked over to her snatching the bottle and sitting himself by her head.

"Hey hey. Fives calm your tits." Y/n laughed.

Boba stayed silent as he looked at her, she too busy looking out and onward, but feeling the stare she looked besides her.

"Oh." Y/n realized, "My bad Fett."

Boba stayed silent, as Y/n took a drink of her own soda, he had realized she had become more sympathetic with her apology.

"You wanna talk about it now?" Boba questioned.

Y/n sighed, answering in silence for a mintue, "My only family betrayed me. Strung a String of lies to supposedly keep me safe. I think about it all the time. We use to find these abaonded places and sit up on the roofs like this, we'd sing, start a bonfire, get drunk."

"Your as old as me." Fett argued.

Y/n shrugged, "war does that, you only live once Fett."

"Then why are you still worrying about it?" Boba defended.

"Why do you still worry about the things you worry about?" Y/n questioned, "but I was kicked out of my group, my name stripped of me, and instead of having my back, they had me cast out. Happy Now?"

It was silent again, the hearing of honking and swearving down below could be heard.

"I lost my dad to the Jedi."

Y/n stopped mid way lifting her drink to her lips but then contuined to drink then pull away.

"They tend to do that..." Y/n responded, "they expect you to follow every rule every word, there no better than the sith."

"You know alot of jedi and sith."

Y/n looked at him once, "It was when you father died did I stop really believing in the Jedi-"

"You knew my father?! You're a jedi-"

"Shut your trap and listen before you get rowdy you damn idiot!' Y/n argued Boba gritting his teeth, "I met Jango Fett when I went on a small assignment, my first one, with Master Shakk Ti- it was basically playing paper boy. I remember delivering work to your father...alot of people were mean to me, he. He never was, always said thank you, always asked me if I had eaten. He even watched me leave on the ship back to Master Plo Koon. So when I went througy reports and found him dead I was in shock, later to find out a Jedi did it. I started to loose faith. Why kill a man lookin out for him and his child, sure capture him- but taking family...I know how that feels and no one should go through it."

Y/n took a drink finishing her bottle and tossing it over edge, "so. I fought. And I fought and I fought. If i couldnt save Jango, I'd save what was left of him- the clones- my brothers. They share the same face but are diffrent than any could imagine. I spoke, I wrote, I pleaded, I trainned. It never was enough, and it was my 'emotion' that got the better of me. Pssh. Yeah right the Jedi can piss off because if they want to see emotion? I'll give it to them."

Boba listened, he had nevee seen Y/n before hand, maybe he had and just didnt remember, he never knew someone could share his pain. Neverless with the same person.

"Windu will pay." Boba seethed, "and your a jedi! You can help me."

"I will go head to head to him, I don't plant bombs." Y/n defended.

"We can take him! Two on one!" Boba tried to persuade, "you know his fighting style! I know guns! You know sabers! We take his head and anyone else that stands in our way!"

Y/n looked at him dully.

"Come on! How many bounty hunters have you single handedly taken on! And killed! How many sith have you injured! Jedi that chase after us! Without your laser swords! We can kill him! Together!" Boba explained standing up, Y/n move to sit up, "We're the left behind! We are the strongest! Because we were left behind! We round up a few others! Bane! Sing! Bosk! And there's always someone paying for a Jedi's head!"

Y/n stood up grabbing hee sniper rifle as she did and looked at her watch.

"It can be a sniper shot! A saber battle! Whatever you want! As long as he die and Im involed I don't care how!" Bobba argued.

Y/n looked down below aiming her sniper adjusting the scope.

"My father would do the same for you-"

He was cut off by a bullet shot and soon the sounds of crying folks who see a man just drop dead on the street, the target they had been waiting for dead. She pulled away from her weapon slowly, turning her head towards him.

"I'll do it.-" Y/n agreed

"No." Boba spoke, "We'll do it. Together. For everything the jedi took from us!"

Y/n looked at the outreached hand as she took it.

"Together."

"As One Unit."

"As One Unit." Y/n responded, "well one and a half"

"Im not that short." Boba argued.

"Shorter than me." Y/n chuckled.

The Gift- A Domino Twins Moment

I dozed off and dreamed this, so naturally I had to put this into words. 

Words: 661 Warnings: Hints at Umbara being hard but other than that, tackiness

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You know, Fives never let em get rid of any of this stuff." Rex gestures to the small box between himself and the tired looking trooper in front of her. "He always just ... had a feeling he should keep it, for some reason." Rex puts a hand on Echo's shoulder. "Now we know why."

Echo's eyes slowly graze the contents of the box. An outdated datapad, a few flimsies sticking out, some other small items collected over his and Fives missions were present. Echo lifts out a holophoto from the box, a small smile appearing on his thin lips. "Hard to believe you know." Echo says gloomily, looking at the photo of the domino squad. "That I'm all thats left. I mean, they were annoying at times.. Cut-Up with his love stories.. Droidbrait whining all of the time. Hevy just whipping his big gun around like he makes the GAR. And.. Fives.. " A lump begins to form in his throat. "He annoyed me almost every day of my life. Fighting over the top bunk, constantly. Stealing my socks." He chokes out a laugh. "And yet even in death, he still thinks of me." Echo laughs, pulling out a box from the bottom of the box, and looking up at Rex. "Do you know what this is?"

The Captain shakes his head and pulls out a card that had fallen off the giftbox. "No idea. No ones looked through it since Fives packed it up." He said. "It was sitting under his bunk with his own things until-" he stops.

"Well," Echo says, opening the card."Its TO me so I suppose its okay to open." He begins to read the card.

Echo- I know this is silly of me to do, but it wouldn't feel right with me getting something from this latest campaign while you get nothing. I know you were there with me in spirit and I just want to thank you for being there and having my back, even if it was just in memories. Umbara was a hard one, and in some ways I am glad you weren't there to be a part of it. But I really could have used your brains on that one. I did okay though. I did things that would have driven you mad but, it was worth it. Anything to protect our brothers and.. Live to fight another day.

Echo wipes a small tear from the corner of his eye and looked up at Rex, noticing the captains grim features. "Umbara.. m-must have been hard. For him to think of me like that." He sets the card aside and begins to untie the ribbon on the box. "You know, all that time I thought Fives was an airhead. He really must have grown up."

"Yeah," Rex chuckled, leaning against the wall as Echo began to unbox the gift. "Umbara put a lot of things into perspective for us troopers." He said. "Really started to make a lot of think ya kn-"

"THAT BASTARD!" Echo groans, half laughing as he sets the cup down. "Fives the little sheb!" He pushes the box back, and looks up at a confused Rex. "How dumb of me to think he mellowed out!" He nods toward the box. "Go on ahead sir, have a look."

Rex, puzzled, grabbed the box and pushed aside of paper to reveal a coffee mug. "W-what?" Rex reads the front of the mug a few times, processing the custom writing on the front of the mug. "Fives, why?" He groans. "I thought he was over the tacky souvenir phase?"

Echo shakes his head, taking the mug out of the box and setting it in front of him. "Well, guess I'm going to have to use it now." He smiles, holding it up to show off to the empty room. The blue font reading:

"MY BROTHER WAS A SUPER DUPER ARC TROOPER HERO ON UMBARA AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY MUG"

[mandaloriandin]

Kylie, my sweet friend! I’d love to ask about my beloved Lip for the OC game? I have a few sorry: 43, 44, 54, 57, 59… if you don’t want to do them all then that’s okay 💖 x

SAM!!!! Thank you so much for all the questions!!! Sorry it took me so long to come up with them! 💕💕

Answers below the cut!

Ask me about my OC, Lip!

43: What is your character insecure about?

I think he doesn't really get insecure tbh. I mean, he's a decorated arc trooper, he's competent, smart, good at what he does and he knows it. Plus, there isn't really time or room to be insecure when your job requires you to be as sure if yourself as his does.

Theoretically though, I think if the war ever ended and he found a partner, he'd secretly be a bit insecure as he aged. He wouldn't show it, he'd still be outgoing and kinda cocky and sarcastic, and he wouldn't have these thoughts very often or for very long, but sometimes he might be insecure about his rapid aging and wonder why his partner would want to stay with him.

44. What is your character proud of?

Answered here!

54: What is the saddest thing about your character's life?

Can I say the events following order 66 without specifying those events? Too bad thats the answer.

57: How would your character feel about feminism?

Lip would absolutely be a feminist. As a clone, he doesn't exactly have many (any) rights or freedoms, and he wouldn't be okay with those of others being taken away either. He believes all people are equal, whether they're clones, humans, aliens, men, woman, or anyone else.

59: What is your least favorite thing about your character?

That he isn't real ✌😔 but also, he always leaves hair in the shower, its gross 🙄

[clonehub]

So do you think Echo, prior to his desertion, was still considered an ARC? I don't remember exactly but as far as I can tell ARCs don't fit into specific units or command structures and were assigned as needed (don't quote me on that). Obviously he maintained his training and adapted to his disability and prosthetics but do you think he was still "ARC Trooper Echo"

idek cause fives was an arc but he was still hanging around the 501st like those old heads that wont leave the high school they graduated from. although i also dont see why he wouldn'ts till be an arc. he's just an arc with a team (even though thats not how they're supposed to work)

[big1ron]

The Venator “Resolute” had jumped right into a separatist trap. Somehow a virus infecting the main computer has scrambled the hyperspace jump coordinates, and now the companies on board were outnumbered and without reinforcements, deep in separatist space. A few last, desperate SOSs to nobody, and the ship was quickly overwhelmed with fire. The Resolute was going down. But not before each of the escape pods could be jettisoned.

————- Chapter Two: Bad Things -—————

Dogma shot the droid and tackled Jesse just a second to late, and took the bolt himself

The pain in his left side (and a little across his back) was searing. He was still breathing though, it missed anything vital. Just grazed him. He was rolled off the arc trooper to the side as the blasterfire didn’t pause for a second even though his own shot had destroyed its target. The fire didn’t last for more than a minute though, as the arc trooper disarmed and destroyed two of the droids with ease, and the medic took the last one.

That was pathetic, he couldn’t even get back up afterwards. He had taken worse than this, so why did it hurt so badly? He could barely hear what Jesse was saying, almost didn’t notice coric appear beside him.

“You di’kut! That hurt you far worse than it would have hurt me, what were you thinking!”

Right. Arc trooper. Thicker chest plate means the bolt wouldn’t have hurt him that badly

“S-sorry sir.”

Coric removed Dogmas helmet and jabbed a painkillers hypo into his neck “that was a sniper bolt, high powered. But it missed anything vital, you’ll live” Quickly moves to remove the chest plate before being stopped by Jesse

“Leave it coric”

“Jesse I dont care how much you hate him if-“

“I said leave it! This isn’t about my feelings for him. Maybe I hate him a little but he’s still my brother and I don’t want him to suffer. But we just encountered commando droids and that means there could be more around. It’s not vital you treat that but If you remove his chest plate to treat that and he gets shot again, you would be dealing with something much worse. So let’s move!”

“I- sir yes sir.”

“Kix you doing okay there buddy?” Echo turns back from the head of the group to look at kix, who is leaning much more heavily on rex now. Rex had chosen the right tunnel, they were now on the surface walking through the forest.

“I hate you... soo much echo. Plea’slow down...” they couldn’t have been walking more than a few hours but Kix looked absolutely exhausted. And he had been tripped by echo a few times now.

“I do too Kix, I do too. Echo, he’s right we should stop here for a little while, you two need some rest. DON’T annoy him in his sleep please.“

Echo takes Kix from Rex and is glared at before he can drop him. “Oh come on. Neither of you hate me, and Rex I know I’m your favourite.”

“My favourite’s Fives”

Echo gasps, offended “you take that back”

“You’re all rex’ favourite ok? Can I plea’sleep now?” Echo sighs in apparent defeat. The two settle down against a tree and once rex is sure they’re both asleep he begins watch.

Rex paces the parameter and looks back at the two vode, sleeping together. He smiles softly. They really are cute when they aren’t trying to annoy each other, or him. On the farthest corner of his loop though he hears something drop down from the trees between him and the other two. Commando droids.

They were completely unseen in the night, with their eyes not glowing like they should. They did now though, and he was surrounded as three appeared behind him. Rex immediately turn to the one centred behind him and blasts it to smithereens, diving over it and rolling to escape the others blasts. He runs in the opposite direction to echo and Kix to lure the droids away.

All four droids fall for it, they must not have noticed the two. The captain stops dead in his tracks and elbows the nearest droid in the face and shoots it with his free hand. He then throws that droid into another, knocking it over and deactivating both. He shoots a third down and has a mini heart attack when he can’t find the fourth. Is almost relieved when it springs on him from a nearby bush. He wrestles with it on the ground until he can grab his dropped blaster, and shoot it.

Rex gets up and dusts himself off. Now he just needs to get back and... which direction did he come from...?

“ECHO! KIX? WHERE ARE YOU TWO” he called but either they were to far to hear him or were to asleep to hear him.

“- But thats way to risky! There are three of us hardcase, we will be killed!”

“It’s either that or we get used to this place cause we aren’t leaving”

“There are other ways than storming into a separatist base, think with your head for once!”

“Oh don’t start that up again. I’m thinking perfectly fine, just cause your an arc trooper doesn’t make you any smarter than me”

“Yeah well maybe it gives me a little more common-

“will you two stop arguing already!?”

Hardcase and Fives both stop bickering to look at Tup. It’s the first time either of them has stopped bickering in the last few hours.

“Stop yelling at each other, it’s getting nowhere. I know you both want what’s best for the squad but you can do that without screaming at each other! Fives I know you’re and arc trooper and hardcase I know you have seniority, and I know you have conflicting ideas and opinions but following the structure of command we have to listen to fives.”

The three were walking in a single file line across a thin out pass on the side of a cliff face, heading for the summit. Fives first plan. Get a vantage point. Tups speach shut the two of them up for a little, but not long, as they started fighting again as hardcase questioned who has been put in charge by Rex more often. They didn’t hear him yelp when the rocks fell out from beneath him. He was send skidding all the way back down to the base of the cliff, which had had to have been a few hundred feet at least. He tried to grab at rocks, branches, anything he could to slow his fall but all he did was send himself rolling instead of sliding.

He landed on the ground with a thud. His head was spinning and he hardly had time to even register what had happened. He let himself lay splayed in the ground for a second before mentally checking himself over. His hair tie had snapped sometime during the fall and he would definitely be bruised in quite a few places but nothing felt broken. He pulled himself to his feet and looked back up to where they were. He couldn’t see fives or hardcase “GUYS! FIVES, HARDCASE!” He called “IM DOWN HERE!”

No response. Great. Ok. Nice.

Tup scooped up his blaster and began to search for another way up the cliff.

“HARDCASE WE LOST TUP”

“WHAT”

“HES GONE”

“HOW COULD YOU LOSE TUP!?”

“HEY I didn’t lose anyone. He just disappeared!!”

“Well where could he have gone?!”

Both turn and look down and look to eachother before fives has to grab hardcase to stop him flinging himself off the cliff

Jesse still has one pistol drawn and is on guard as his group moves down the path. Dogma had been even more quiet then later but coric assumed that was to hide the pain. Coric would keep an eye on him, he wouldn’t tell him whenever the painkillers wore off. That’s something he knew about dogma. Dogma wasn’t paying attention and tripped in some kind of animal burrow. He w t down with a small noise of distress. Coric stopped and waited for him to get up, Jesse didn’t. Dogma caught back up to the group, but the limp was noticeable. Jesse only rolled his eyes.

“Hey are you alright?” Coric asked, as if he expected any answer other than ‘fine.’

“I’m alright, doesn’t matter.”

Close enough. He kept an eye on him and the limp didn’t go away for 10 minutes so he decided to intervene.

“Hey Jesse, let’s stop. I want to check over dogma again. He’s limping”

“I’m fine coric it’s-“

Ah there it is. The ‘I’m fine’ he’s so used to hearing.

“Listen kid when a medic tells you something you listen. We’ll stop. Coric, make this as quick as possible though.”

Of course, Kix was also a medic. Jesse is just as bad as the rest of them but he’s probably heard these PSAs more than anyone.

Coric held up the medisensor and sighed

“It’s sprained. He really shouldn’t be walking on it. I won’t be able to treat it properly until we get back.”

“What? No, I can walk fine. I was just doing so, wasn’t I? Let’s get going again”

“No, you think you’re fine. If coric says you can’t, I guess you can’t.” Jesse sighs and turns to coric “I guess I’ll carry him. We can’t leave him here, and you’ve got the medpack.”

Coric’s honestly a little surprised Jesse agreed, but then he feels a little bad for underestimating Jesse. But then again he gets the feeling Jesse may actually just be playing four dimensional petty chess as well.

Having acquired Ahsoka a second bike, the two Jedi were surveying the planet right until the crack of dawn when

“Master am I crazy or do you feel what I feel?”

Anakin’s bike skids to a stop in front of a trooper laying face down in the dirt, as if that’s right where he fell

“Whatcha doing Rex? Trying to become a landform?”

The captain pulls his arms underneath him and gets up. He is almost tackled right back to the ground as he’s tackle hugged from behind. Luckily he’s caught (and also hugged from the front) by anakin.

“We missed you Rex! I was afraid you were shot down! I’m so glad you’re alive...” said ahsoka

“It’s great to see you two, sirs. But I don’t know how much longer I’ll be alive if you keep crushing me”

“Now ahsoka, please don’t kill our poor captain. He looks like he’s had a long day.” He pulls away from Rex and ahsoka does the same. “So Rex, we only have two speeders, so who do you want to ride with?”

“Uhh...” he weighed his options. On the one hand- to long. Both Jedi got that glint in their eye that meant competition and both grabbed at rex at once. Anakin pulled him towards himself before ahsoka could lay a hand on the captain.

“Alright captain, you’re riding with me. Hold on.”
