Aftermath

Delta's POV

"Delta, we're going to be late" Omega states as I put my shoes on.

"It's just a meeting Omega" I tell her.

"Yes, but you said yourself the war is over. So I really want to go" she tells me. I sigh in defeat as Nala Se enters our room.

"Are you girls ready?" she asks.

"Yes, Nala Se" we assure her.

"Come along" she says and we follow her out of the room. Walking side by side behind her. As she takes us to the balcony over looking the staging area. Where all the clones are gathered and I spot Clone Force 99. A hologram of Palpatine appears to address us.

"All personnel report to the staging area for a briefing on the state of the Republic. And the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated. The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed" he states.

I nudge Omega and she looks at me. I nod to clone force 99 as Palpatine continues with his speech. "But I assure you. My resolve has never been stronger!" he states. Hunter spots us looking at his team. Tech approaches him and we notice Nala Se not paying attention to us. SO we slip away as Palpatine continues his speech.

We went down to the lower levels and waited for the meeting to be over. When the clones started to leave. We follow Clone Force 99. "Galactic Empire? We're soldiers of the Republic" Echo says.

"Republic, Empire... What's the difference?" Crosshair asks them.

"The systematic termination of the Jedi is a big one for me" Tech states.

"Lads, we're not alone" Hunter tells them. They turn to face us. We smile sheepishly.

"Hello" Omega says with a wave.

"What are these?" Wrecker asks.

"Adolescent human females, origin unknown" Tech states.


"My name's Omega and this is my sister Delta" Omega tells them.

"We wondered when you guys would get back" I add.

"You know who we are?" Hunter asks.

"Hunter, Echo, Tech, Wrecker and Crosshair. You're Clone Force 99" we states.

"What are you doing on Kamino kids?" Hunter asks us.

"Their job, of course" Nala Se states. "They are my medical assistants, two with a curious mind that causes them to wander. Come Delta, Omega. There is work to do" she tells us.

"Yes, Nala Se" I say. "See you guys around" I tell clone force 99. Before Omega and I followed Nala Se. Omega waves to them before we turn the corner.

(Time skip)

After finishing our work with Nala Se. It was lunch time. So we went to the mass hall. We spot Clone force 99 there. So grabbed our lunch and joined them. "Hello again" we say as we sit next to Hunter.

"Omega and Delta, from earlier" Omega tells them.

"We meet in the corridor" I add.

"Yeah kids, we remember" Hunter assures us. "Don't you guys have some place to be?" he asks us.

"No, we'll stay" Omega states.

"What she means is, we finished our work for the morning" I tell them.

"You want to sit with us?" Tech asks and we nod our heads. "That's never happened before" he states. 'Wow' Wrecker says.

"We like you, you don't fit in around here either" Omega states.

"What are you really doing here on Kamino kids? Don't you have a family somewhere? Parents?" Hunter asks us.

"Parents?" Omega asks.

"No" I answer.

"Check it out. The defect squad's got themselves two new recruits" a clone chuckles as he wakls by with his unit. "Another two members added to the Sad Batch" he states. Making his unti laugh. Omega throws her food at him. "What the? Who throw that?" he demands.

"My sister did" I state as I pick up my bowl. Omega holding her roll. "Now apologize to our friends" we demand glaring at them.

"I like these kids" Wrecker states.

"What did you say to me?" the clone demands. Hunter blocks his path.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back off. I suggest you keep moving" Hunter tells him. The clone looks at us. As Wrecker stands up behind us.

"Know your places lab scrubbers" he tells us. Before walking away. When Wrecker throws his food tray at him.

"Whoops" Wrecker says as he grabs another tray.

"That's it!" the clone shouts. I throw my bowl at him and he ducks. Causing it to hit one of his team mates. When he tried to advance, Hunter hit him in the jaw. It started a food fight, that lead to a real fight. Until Echo was knocked out.

We took him to the medical bay. Where Omega and I stayed with him until he woke up. He freaked a little at first. But calmed down when he saw us. "I am AZI-345211896246498721347, your assigned medical droid" the droid tells him.

"We call him AZI-3" I tell him as the rest of clone force 99 enters the room.

"Ha! Told you he's alive! You owe me two credits" Wrecker tells Crosshair.

"CT-1409's condition is stable" AZI-3 assures then. "But I have some distressing news for the rest of you. According to your test results, you all appear to be genetically defective clones" he states. "I will leave you to process the shock of this revelation" he adds before leaving.

"We've got a problem" Echo tells us.

"Not really. We're more deviant than we are defective" Tech tells him.

"Not that. Admiral Tarkin's here. He's the one evaluating the clones" Echo tells us.

"The same Tarkin from the Citadel rescue when you, uh... How shall I put this?" Tech asks.

"Blew up" Wrecker offers.

"And turned into that?" Crosshair asks.

"Yes. And he's not a big supporter of clones" Echo tells us.

"We'll soon find out. We've been summoned by the prime minister" Hunter states.

"Guess he didn't find that mess hall fight amusing. But I sure did" Wrecker states.

"Come on. Let's get this over with" Hunter tells his team. Echo gets up.

"Wait, the fight was my fault" Omega states running in front of them.

"Our fault" I add.

"We're going too" we state.

"Not happening, we'll handle this" Hunt assures us.

"But..." we try to protest.

"Listen, kids. Our squad's nothing but trouble. For your sakes, keep your distance. Got it?" Hunter asks us. They left.

"We're not going to keep our distance, right?" I ask Omega.

"Of course we're not" she tells me.

(Time skip)

The Prime Minister is showing Admiral Tarkin the clone embryos. Omega and I stand beside Nala Se. "Extraordinary, aren't they?" Nala Se asks.

"That remains to be seen. Tell me about Clone Force 99" Tarkin instructs.

"They are medically defective clones whose cellular mutations enhanced traits desirable in a soldier" Nala Se states.

"How many of these enhanced clones do you possess?" Tarkin asks her.

"Six are all that remain" Nala Se tells him.

"They could be an asset to your new Empire" the prime minister adds.

"Yet reports indicate they exhibit a concerning level of disobedience and disregard for orders" Tarkin states.

"A side effect of their mutation" Nala Se tells him.

"Yet one that has never hindered the completion of their missions" the prime minister assures him.

"Then they executed Order 66?" Tarkin asks.

"Since both the Jedi General and Padawan on Kaller were eliminated, one would assume..." the prime minister starts to say.

"Assume nothing" Tarkin tells him. "Only the general's death is confirmed. A counter-report, filed by one of their own, says the Padawan escaped" he explains. "Let us see where the loyalty of these clones truly lies" he states. I share a look with Omega.

Later we sneak away from Nala Se to go see Hunter. As he and his group prepared to leave for a mission. "Hunter!" we shout as we rush over to him.

"I told you both to keep your distance" he tells us.

"We know, but we need to talk to you" Omega tells him

"It's important" I tell him.

"Alright, what is it?" he asks as he kneels down to our level.

"That Imperial officer, we think he has it out for you" I tell him.

"We overheard him talking to Lama Su. He doesn't like clones" Omega adds.

"Ah, that's nothing new for us. But we get the job done" he tells us.

"We don't trust him" we tell him.

"A mission's a mission. It's nothing to worry about" he assures us.

"Then let us go with you" Omega tells him.

"Yeah, we can help you" I add.

"Kids, you're not soldiers. It's dangerous" he tells us.

"It's dangerous here too" I tell him.

"She's right, things aren't like before. We need to leave Kamino" Omega adds.

"Hunter, lets go!" Wrecker shouts.

"Change takes getting used to. You both will see. Just give it time" he tells us. He boarded his ship with Crosshair and they left. As we watched.

"Delta, Omega" Nala Se says as she joins us. "Come long, I told you both to stay close" she reminds us. We follow her and leave the landing platform.

(Time skip)

"What did you want to show me?" Omega asks.

"Shush" I tell her as we reach clone force 99's chambers. I open and we enter. "Welcome to clone force 99 chambers" I tell her and AZI-3.

"Wow" she says in awe. "What is all this stuff AZI?" she asks.

"My scanners are indicating an assortment of armament, curios and detritus of little to no value" he explains.

"I like it" Omega states.

"Same" I state as I look at wall with tallies on it. "Look at all these missions they've completed" I tell her.

"Whoa, cool" she says as we continue to look around.

"We should not be here Dealta, Omega. Nala Se instructed us to stay in the medical wing" AZI-3 tells us. I roll my eyes.

"Don't worry. We're on... a research assignment" Omega lies.

"A very important one" I add.

"A research assignment? Those are my favorite" AZI-3 cheers. "What is it we are searching for? Is it this?" he asks as he starts to pick up random things. Omega picks up a doll and I notice an opened crate.

"Omega, check this out" I tell her and she comes over.

"A data pad" she says taking it out of the crate. I shut it and we sit on it as she activates the pad. It shows a photo of Clone force 99. Suddenlly AZI-3 drops something. "Shh! People will hear us" she tells him.

Suddenly the light by the door turns red. "Someones coming, we gotta go" I tell them. We go to leave and run into a few clone troopers.

"You're not authorized to be in here" the captain tells us.

"We got lost" Omega lies.

"I assure you, it won't happen again" I assure him.

"Pack up their gear and take it to the hangar" he tells the other clone troopers. "You two, you both are coming with me" he tells Omega and I. Grabbing our arms.

"We will not" I tell him annoyed. As AZI-3 grabs his arm. Making let go of Omega.

"She's right, we are official Kaminoan medical personnel..." AZI-3 starts to explains.

"Don't touch me droid" the clone snaps. Letting go on me. He grabs his gun and stuns AZI-3.

"AZI!" Omga and I shout as we're lead away. We're thrown in the brig. "Why are they doing this to us?" Omega asks me.

"I don't know" I tell her.

"But you know everything" she states.

"Just because I'm older, doesn't mean I know everything" I tell her. "But I believe I have found out something about us" I state.

"What?" she asks.

"You know how Hunter asked if we had parents?" I ask her.

"Yeah, we don't have them" she states.

"Right, we've been here all our lives under the supervision of Nala Se. Early she said there were six defective clones" I remind her.

"Yeah, but there's only 5 in clone force 99" she states.

"Echo doesn't count, he was a reg before his altercations" I remind her.

"Then who are the other two clones?" she asks confused.

"Us, we're the other two. Which makes all the clones here our brothers" I tell her.

"Whoa" she says. Just then clone force 99 were put into our cell. Striped of their armor.

"Smells weird" Wrecker states.

"Because it's clean. Well, the plan wasn't a total failure" Tech tells them gesturing to Omega and I. We smile sheepishly.

"We warned you not to come back" we remind Hunter.

"Had to. We were looking for you two" he states.

"Guess you figured it out to huh?" I ask Tech and he nods his head.

"What do you say, kids?" Hunter asks us. "You wanna come with us or did we get captured for nothing?" he asks.

"You came back for us?" Omega asks surprised.

"We don't leave family behind and neither do they" I tell her.

"That's right. Or you can stay on Kamino if..." Hunter starts to say.

"No, it's like we said before. We want to go with you" Omega assures him. As we get to our feet.

"How touching" Crosshair sneers.

"Uh, Hunter, how are we breaking outta here?" Wrecker asks.

"I'm working on it" Hunter assures him.

"You know what you should work on? Explaining when you went soft" Crosshair states.

"Stow it, Crosshair" Echo tells him.

"Don't you see we're locked up in here because of him? He had us disobey orders" Crosshair tells them.

"I never thought you disobeying orders was a problem" Tech states.

"Yeah. We do it all the time" Wrecker adds.

"Good soldiers follow orders. Every choice you've made since Kaller has been wrong. First the Padawan, then Gerrera. You're becoming a liability" Crosshair states looking at Hunter.

"We can debate my choices later. For now, let's focus on getting outta here" Hunter tells him. They all start to inspect the room. While Crosshair sat by himself. Omega went to see him as I went over to Tech. Soon they took Crosshair away.

I notice Omega start to copy Hunter and chuckle. "I've got it. Why didn't I think of it before?" Tech mutters. "This is not a prison" he states.

"Yeah, well, I beg to differ" Wrecker tells him.

"No, he's right" I tell him. "This is a Kaminoan facility. It was built prior to the Clone Wars" I explain and Tech nods his head in agreement.

"There were no barracks or prisons when it was constructed" Tech tells them.

"How does that help us?" Hunter asks.

"Because while these cells were retrofitted to hold normal individuals, they could not possibly account for someone like Wrecker" Tech states.

"Oh! You mean I could punch our way out?" Wrecker asks loudly and we shush him. He asks again in a whisper.

"If you punch the correct spot" Tech and I tell him.

"Right. Show me where" Wrecker instructs.

"If this is gonna work, we'll need some cover. Form a wall" Hunter tells the others. I stand by Omega while Tech showed Wrecker where to hit. After a couple of punches and there was an opening big enough for Omega and I to crawl through.

We go through and make our escape. We get in a vent above the clone troopers guarding us. They are demanding to know where we are. I share a look with Omega and she nods her head. We hit the vent and we fall on top of them with it. Knocking them out.

I rush over to the control console and let the other four out. The others grab the guns. Before we left to go look for Crosshair. But first we go to the hanger to retrieve their gear. Hunter tells Tech and I to power up the ship while he lead the others to go find Crosshair.

"I don't think we'll have to go far" Omega tells him. Just then clone troopers appear lead by Crosshair and we take cover. Hunter steps forward to address Crosshair.

"Best stand down, Sergeant. Make it easy on yourself" Crosshair tells him.

"Have you lost your mind?" Hunter asks him.

"We should've killed that Jedi. You disobeyed orders" Crosshair tells him.

"I did what I thought was right" Hunter tells him.

"You never could see the bigger picture. Now surrender" Crosshair tells him.

"Is that an order?" Hunter asks him.

"I guess it is" Crosshair tells him.

"Well, I guess I'm disobeying that one too" Hunter tells him. As Tech and I work on powering up the ship. I hear gun fire and go to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tech asks while grabbing my arm.

"My sister is out there" I remind him.

"She's with Hunter, she'll be fine" he assures. "What we need to do is get this ship up and running" he tells me. I nod my head reluctantly, knowing he was right.

"Tech, we gotta move. Now!" Hunter orders.

"We're working on it" Tech assures him as the engines come online.

"Tech, we're out of time" Hunter states.

"Almost got it"I assure him.

"Go make sure everyone gets on board and shut the ramp as soon as everyone is on board" Tech tells me. I nod my head rushed over to the ramp. Omega gets on first as we lay down cover fire for Hunter and Echo as they retrieved Wrecker.

"Go!" I shout at Tech as I shut the door. He takes off. Omega gave Wrecker his toy while Echo and Tech tended to him. "Omega" I say and she looks at me. I nod to the bridge and we go to it. "Beautiful, isn't it?" I ask her as we look at the stars. She nods her head in agreement.

"You guys first time in space?" Hunter asks as he joins us.

"First time anywhere" Omega tells him.

"Impressive shots back there" he states. "Where did you learn to do that?" he asks us.

"I don't know. We never fired a blaster before. I guess we got lucky" Omega tells him.

"They're not the only ones" Tech states as the other three join us.

"I'm fine. It'll take more than a blaster shot to take me down" Wrecker assures us.

"You were down" Echo reminds him.

"Yeah, well not for long" Wrecker argues.

"What's the plan Hunter?" Tech and I ask together. I smile a him.

"I thought we could go off on our own. Lay low" Hunter tells us. "But with Crosshair gunning for us, I'm not so sure" he states.

"What about your friends? Could any of them help us?" Omega asks.

"That would be a short list" Tech tells her.

"I can think of one. Plot a course for J-19" Hunter tells Tech. Who does so.

"J-19?" Echo asks confused.

"We know a guy" Hunter tells him.

"Yeah!" Wrecker cheers.

"Strap in kids. You're not gonna wanna miss this view" Hunter tells us. I watch Tech finish punching in the coordinates. As Omega and I sit on the co-pilot chair together. We then look out the window as we enter hyperspace. Broad smiles on our faces.
