#the command batch

[vaultedoverthehorse]

Kote, who was always ready to drop everything and help another. Wolffe, whose loud mouth and fiery temper got him in more trouble than he’d like to admit. Bly, who only uses force when he deems it necessary. Ponds, who feels mediocre at everything and best at nothing. Fox, who knows about more than he should, yet is forced to stay silent. The batch that nobody thought would make it, yet succeeded in ways the long necks could never imagine.

2nd STARWARS/DAEMON AU POST!!!!! This time with the CC's and the Disaster Lineage!

Obi-Wan: Maned Wolf (Kee-Ayt)

Anakin: Lion (maned female lioness) (Asieko)

Ahsoka: Gryfalcon (Tuex)

Cody: German Shepherd (Beskar)

Rex: Siberian Husky (Queen)

Wolffe: Wolfdog (Whitefang)

Fox: Doberman Pinscher (Vulpe)

Bly: American Akita (Lyra)

LORE TIME: first off! Jedi! So I thought a lot about how daemons and Jedi should work. I did end up deciding that Jedi GENERALLY have bird daemons (like the witches in His Dark Material), BUT not always. The Jedi having bird daemons is not a ‘All Force Sensitives Have Daemons Who Settle As Birds’ thing. It wouldn’t make sense in this AU since Force-sensitivity is a spectrum and at what level would someone have ‘enough’ force-sensitivity to have a daemon for certain become a bird? I didn’t like that narrative as much, it felt restrictive. So instead Jedi tend to have bird daemons, but not Force-Sensitives. Like all Jedi are force sensitive ( and have bird daemons) but not all Force-Sensitives are Jedi, make sense? This is because of how the Jedi raise children and teach them to interact with the force. Because of how Jedi are taught to view and use the force, their daemons tend to settle as birds! It’s ‘nurture’ over ‘nature’ thing. Which is why (in this AU at least) the Jedi don’t take in older children to train. Because they’ve already probably learned their own way to interact with the force (different from the Jedi teachings) and therefore will have a non-bird daemon! Hence Anakin having a lion daemon. “But what about Obi-Wan?” (Well since Obi-Wan is one of my favorites I get to spice him up lol). He was originally very Jedi like (daemon wise) but after the whole Jedi Apprentice/Xanantos enslaving him/Melida-Daan war thing, he daemon ended up settling as a Maned Wolf! I imagine he was just about the age where his daemon would settle (usually 13-15, which is the same reason this is the age Jedi initiates are made padawans), so it was a surprise that his daemon so abruptly changed and settled. Most likely the effects of being so abruptly exposed to violence and war right out of being only use to the peace of the Jedi temple his whole life. 

(Extra) The 3rd page of the post! Cody and Obi-Wan’s daemons! Beskar and Kee-Ayt! Even though in my doodles Beskar seems to be very grumpy and even hatful towards Kee-Ayt, DO NOT BE FOOLED. Beskar adores Kee-Ayt. Their relationship just mirrors how I headcanon Cody’s and Obi-Wan’s. Where they will harass and bitch at each other to hell and back. Sounding from the outsider’s POV like two people who hate each other. When in reality these two are joined at the hip and love each other. They just will never admit it because “we have reputations to uphold!’ (Anakin says “what reputation? the reputation that one of you would murder the other if it wasn’t for the fact the GAR would court marshal the other?”) But yeah, Beskar makes fun of Kee-Ayt’s long ass legs. The mini ‘comic’ is about how I imagine that since all the Clones’ daemons are dogs/canines, when they win a battles they have a ‘Victory Call’ where they all howl. Beskar offers for Kee-Ayt to join in, but Maned Wolves can’t howl. They do this thing called a Roar-Bark (look up a video it’s so loud). This is the first time Beskar hears Kee-Ayt roar-bark and it scared the shit out of her.

(Extra Extra) The 4th page of the post! This is mostly doodles of Rex, Anakin and Ashoka’s daemons (Queen, Asieko and Tuex). All three reflect the close relationship that Rex, Anakin and Ahsoka have. Hence Tuex nesting on Queen and Asieko trying to groom Queen (who doesn’t appreciate the rough lion tongue bath she’s getting). (In fact Asieko tries to groom Tuex and Kee-Ayt too, but Tuex is too small and Kee-Ayt just starts biting Asieko bcs she doesn’t appreciate the bath either lol). We also have Tuex dive bombing Asieko (a common occurrence whenever Anakin and Ahsoka bicker). Tuex also does this to literally anyone who slightly annoys him or Ahsoka. And lastly the little doodle of Rex and Queen screaming! Idk if you’ve ever seen videos of Huskies, but oh boy are they loud and dramatic. I think with all the stress and insanity Rex has to deal with leading the 501st, he and Queen often have therapy screaming sessions. They deserve to. 

(ALSO, I will be making follow up reblogs with lore/plot stuff for each individual character)

star wars fans are so funny bc like you can mention a background clone character who shows up in like, two episodes at most, and there will be some fangirl who's memorized his wiki page, has a pinterest fan page dedicated to him, and ships him with riyo chuchi

Bly didn't like fighting. He only fought when necessary - and he didn't see punching his brothers on Kamino as necessary. Perhaps that was why he came back from training the bloodiest. Alpha-17 wouldn't have commented on it, except for the fact that he'd seen the pairings today. Bly had been partnered with Fox - and though Fox was the best fighter, he wouldn't have done that. The bloody nose, split lip, black eye - no, Fox was too smart for that. On Wolffe, maybe. But that's because Wolffe wouldn't back down. On Bly, however? On Bly, Fox would push him around for long enough that the longnecks weren't suspicious - and then Bly would tap out, both vod walking away unscathed. So, to Alpha-17, it all just seemed suspicious.

Despite it being suspicious, Seventeen wasn’t about to baby the cadets. They were soldiers - in four short years, they would be commanders. They would be in charge of entire legions of troopers. They needed to learn how to deal with adversity. Besides, the longnecks already disliked the batch - they’d be looking for any reason to decommission them. They were loud, independent, and didn’t listen well enough. No matter how many suicides Seventeen ran them through. But they were good, too good to be decommed. Sometimes Seventeen wondered if there was a mutation in their batch that made them this way. Kote was smarter and more creative, Fox more observant and cunning, Wolffe more brash and aggressive, Ponds more sensitive and adaptive. And Bly was more emotionally intelligent, more reasonable. If it didn’t put a target on their backs, Seventeen would be proud.

Currently, he was in the Commando’s barracks, cleaning his armor over and over. The others were off somewhere, leaving a tense silence that clung to everything like dust. He should’ve expected something would go wrong - it always does. As he reached for his chest plate, the door to the barracks slid open. Before he could even look up, he heard little footsteps running up to his bed. He groaned, rubbing his face with his hands.

“Cadet, you can’t-“ Seventeen started to chastise, but was cut off by the boys high-pitched ramble. Ponds was always the closest with Bly, so Seventeen hadn’t been surprised earlier when he seemed the most worried. But by now he should’ve moved on - bad things happened in war. That’s what this training was - the Nulls were preparing the cadets to survive. Seventeen was preparing his batch to survive. They couldn’t be soft.

“Bly - he’s - he’s really hurt.” Ponds seemed to be genuinely scared for his brother. Seventeen sighed, pushing his armor off to the side. “Cadet, he’s got a black eye and a split lip...I can’t just-“

Again, Ponds cut him off. He’ll be running laps around the facility for hours because of that. “Please, he got stabbed or - or something-“

Seventeen’s brow furrowed, his body tensing as if ready to fight. “….he what?” It had supposed to have been a melee session. And even if it hadn’t been, they never used weapons that would result in a stabbing. Getting stunned or shot, sure. But stabbed?

Ponds nodded, his eyes wide with fear. “B-Bric took over for Fox and Bly still wouldn’t fight and then-“

Seventeen had already stood up, and started walking to the door. The moment Ponds told him it was Bric, any surprise had left him. Bric didn’t think the clones were human - to him, they were just pets who needed to be trained, and aggression was his favorite tool. He was known to be cruel in training. Pulling a blade wasn’t the worst thing he’d done. But to one of Seventeen’s batch? He wanted to pull Bric’s stupid head off and throw him into the sea below.

“Let’s move, cadet.” He said tensely, motioning for Ponds to follow. Relief crossed Ponds’ face, and that hurt even more - did he think Seventeen wouldn’t care? There was no time to dwell on it now. Not if he had a kid bleeding in the cadets barracks.

The door to the cadets barracks slid open, and instantly the sounds of bickering could be heard from his batch’s bunks.

“It’s not supposed to look like that-“

“Guys-“

“-turn it around-“

“-it’s not a big deal-“

“-I got it-“

“-Wolffe get away-“

“-guys!”

Seventeen rounded the corner, and the scene before him was worse than he’d thought. Somehow the batch had gotten their hands on a medpac, and they were currently trying to place a bacta patch on Bly’s stomach - which was bleeding profusely. Kote was kneeling before him, a look of concentration on his face that would be funny in any other situation. Fox was over his shoulder, correcting him on every move he made, even though Fox didn’t know anything about medical care either. Wolffe was to Fox’s left, looking ever so slightly worried as he watched his brother’s work. All of them were too focused to notice Seventeen as he neared.

Cleaning his throat, Seventeen gave the batch his best glare. “What’s going on here?”

Wolffe jumped, then instantly looked angry at the fact that he had been scared. He gave Ponds a betrayed look, then looked at Seventeen. “Sir, we-“

Seventeen shook his head to silence him, then focused on Kote. “Move.” He said harshly, and the boy dropped the bacta patch and scurried to the side. Bly looked terrified, not saying a word as Seventeen kneeled before him. “This isn’t how you put a bacta patch on. You should clean the wound first if possible.” He took a pack from the medpac, ripping it open with his teeth.

Fox cleared his throat, watching Seventeen curiously. “Sir, we-“

“Not now.” Seventeen spoke tersely. He pulled the disinfectant pad out, and started to wipe down the wound. He ignored the hiss of pain Bly let out, instead speaking to the other four cadets. “Go to mess. You’re late enough as it is.” There was some scuffling and angry whispering behind him, before they finally shuffled out. The tension in the barracks was thick. Seventeen could feel Bly shaking slightly as he cleaned the wound.

Seventeen dropped the disinfectant pad to the side, looking up to meet Bly’s eyes. “Want to tell me how this happened?”

Bly looked away, taking a deep breath. “Yes, sir.” He was always the best with decorum, and for once Seventeen hated it - Bly should be angry, all his brothers would be. But instead he seemed defeated. “I - I wouldn’t fight at training today.”

Seventeen nodded, activating a bacta patch. “And?”

“A-and Bric caught on…he said I needed to be ‘motivated,’ sir.”

Seventeen felt his jaw clench, his hands shaking as he applied the bacta patch onto Bly’s wound. It wasn’t as deep as it looked, but he still wasn’t happy about it. “…it’s not your fault, cadet.”

Bly’s lip quivered, and he watched Seventeen carefully. “…am I going to be decommed.”

Seventeen jumped, dread spreading through his veins. “What?”

“Bric said that I was-“ Bly’s voice broke, tears filling his eyes. “-defective.”

Seventeen shook his head, pulling the boy in for a hug. He wasn’t ever physically comforting with his batch, but he cared for them. And seeing one of them cry because of the Nulls made him feel angry and guilty. “Bly, you aren’t defective.” He heard the boy sniffle, felt his blacks growing wet. Bly pulled away, looking up at him with tear-streaked cheeks.

“B-but why-“

“Bric’s a kriffing arse.” Seventeen spat out. “You aren’t defective, you’re fine. You’re just unique, and that’s a good thing vod’ika.”

Bly nodded. He didn’t seem comforted, but it was all Seventeen could give him. At least the tears were slowing. Seventeen stood up, leaving the contents of the medpac spread around their room. “Come on, cadet. Let’s get you to the mess.”

Bly nodded, wiping his cheeks as he stood. The two walked in silence, Bly a step behind as if they were marching to battle. Seventeen kept his head up high, trying to ignore the feelings of guilt gnawing at him. The hallways were dead, apart from a few soldiers walking back from mess. When they arrived at the said room, Seventeen stood by the door. Bly looked up at him, as if waiting for permission. Seventeen nodded at the boy, and watched him walk to Command Batch 02’s usual table. He slid into his usual seat next to Ponds, who slid him an untouched tray. Seventeen watched from a distance as Bly’s eyes started to light up, watched the laughter as Wolffe and Fox bickered over something stupid. And Seventeen wondered: what was the point to it all? When they graduated they’d be split up to all corners of the galaxy. He was raising them like lambs to a slaughter, waiting for their deaths.

Even if there was nothing he could do, at least they had each other for now. Seventeen stood up straight, then turned on his heel and left the mess. He couldn’t stand to watch them anymore.
