*prays To The Star Wars Gods* Please Keep Sabine And Ezra Platonic

Echo was sitting in the cocpit, examining the space. Hunter seemed desperate, standing at the edge of madness. Echo understood him. He was also furious that Hemlock took Omega. Omega. His mind wouldn't stop. Bonde short hair, tan skin, brown to amber eyes, girl, twelve years old. Clone. Like him exept she was nothing like him. But if they won't find her...then she'll become similar to him. Wrecker seemed sad. He had those child-like eyes. Like Omega. Like Tech. No- He started crying. He couldn't stop. Tech isn't here. Neighter is Omega. Nor Crosshair. Fives isn't there! He was breathing too fastly. They aren't here. THEY AREN'T THERE! FIVES ISN'T THERE! CUTUP ISN'T THERE! HEVY ISN'T THERE! DROIDBAIT ISN'T THERE! DOMINO ISN'T HERE! HE IS- He couldn't breathe anymore. Everything was white. He distantly heard Hunter. He was shouting something he didn't quite understand. He was moved by a big arm and put on ground. Somebody layed beside him, taking his hand onto something warm.

Echo slowly calmed down. Hunter's steady breathing and somewhat calm heartbeat grounded him. "Where am I? Is Fives alright?" He was still confused. "We are on the Marauder, Fives isn't with us. You are safe." Echo was crying. This was Hunter. He was laying on cold ground of damaged ship they called home. But it felt empty. Everything was empty. World was colourless and cold. "Echo, we have to go to Pabu. We'll find Phee and she'll for sure help up." "Everything I touch falls like domino." The pain in his eyes screamed that he ment it. Hunter held his shoulders and forced him to sit up. "Well, I you are the Domino that didn't fall." Hunter tried. "Sometimes I wish I had." Hunter shook him after this. "We blasting need you, Echo, we need you! WE HAVE TO FIND OMEGA, GET UP!" Echo wished to stay on ground, but he didn't want to see Hunter getting him on his feet when his younger brother had broken ribs. He got up. "Last mission?" "Last mission."

Recap of Clone wars

brothers (and Batcher)

I can see four things happening

1. They all died.

2. The Bad Batch “died” but they really went into hiding, but Echo still has a strong connection to Rex and I have a feeling Echo wouldn’t just disappear on his captain. Echo might think Rex “died” as well and he doesn’t feel the need to be with his old battalion anymore.

3. The Bad Batch died but Omega might still be alive but she chooses to be on her own after her family died.

4. The clone rebellion is obliterated (because it’s Star Wars. We only get pain)

This might be the reason why Rex is the way we first see him in Rebels

I also have a theory/feeling that we’ll see Caleb Dume (Kanan Jarrus if he changed his name by them) in season 3 (possibly with Hera and Chopper). When Kanan talks about Order 66, he says, “… then came for me, later they said they had chips in their head that made them do it, said they had no choice.” So Hunter, Echo, and Wrecker might be with Crosshair at that time.

Ok so I’m rewatching rebels to prepare for Ahsoka and I got to the clones episode

And this line stood out to me:

Ik Rex is probably talking about all the clones, but I’m paranoid he means the Bad Batch too…

……… ow

(…) He used to have million of brothers. Now, he’s the last. But he still hears them. They whisper to him(…)

if you can, could you write a short about echo talking to the batch about the rest of domino? could be pre-show or post-show, maybe when crosshair's joined back up with the batch

they are very important to me, thank you anon 😌

*insert the obligatory "echo finds hevy's medal on the marauder" fic*

Kashyyyk had been a welcome respite after the recovery of Cody and Crosshair from the Empire.

Gungi had been more than excited to welcome his friends back, greeting Omega with a joyful hug that had the blonde giggling brightly as she returned the embrace. The rest of the Batch watched the interaction warmly, glad to see their youngest member being so happy upon reuniting with the young Jedi.

Rex had joined the Batch after Cody and Crosshair’s rescue, unable to part himself from his brother’s side.

After a day of quiet recovery on the forest planet, Echo set himself to organizing the crates that had been languishing in the Marauder’s storage hold, completely untouched over the past months of racing around the galaxy.

Distantly, he could hear Omega begging Crosshair to help her with her bow. He chuckled to himself, knowing that his little sister had been waiting for the day when she could get tutelage from their marksman brother. Digging through one of the messy crates, Echo flinched as his hand was poked by something cool, and he frowned. Grasping the object, he pulled it out into the light, and immediately froze as he recognized it.

“Oh…”

The gold sunburst glinted in the afternoon light that streamed through the Marauder’s open hatch, the green and blue ribbon faded, but still holding together.

Echo knew 99 still had the medal, but he hadn’t known what happened to it after his older brother’s death. Thinking it back over, it made sense for 99 to have given it to his own batch.

“Echo! Find anything interesting?”

The ARC was startled out of his musings by the sound of Wrecker’s shout, and he stood, holding the medal tightly in his hands as he exited the Havoc Marauder.

Rex looked up from where he was speaking with Cody, immediately noting a difference in Echo’s mannerisms.

“Vod’ika?”

Echo simply held up the medal, a small, sad smile on his face. “I haven’t seen one of these in a long time.”

Hunter’s face was bittersweet. “It was 99’s.” He approached Echo, reaching out to brush his fingers across the medal. “He gave it to us when we went off on our first mission.”

“That looks like your medal, Ey’ika.” Rex prodded gently, making Echo huff out a laugh. Of course his older brother knew something else was going on. “From when you passed the test.”

“You’ve got a medal?” Omega asked excitedly, moving around Hunter to get a peek at the object.

Echo nodded, walking to where Crosshair and Tech were seated, quietly enjoying each other’s company. He sat himself beside his grey-haired brother, taking comfort from how Crosshair didn’t tense up like he did when Hunter or Wrecker sat beside him. Rex sat on Echo’s other side, a quiet pillar of comfort.

“99 and I got our medals at the same time.” Echo began to explain, voice quiet. “His was given to him by a clone named Hevy.”

Tech cocked his head. “99 did mention it was a gift from a friend.”

“You knew the guy who gave this to 99?” Wrecker asked.

It was only Rex’s presence and Cody’s silent support from where he was sitting opposite them that kept Echo from falling apart then and there, the pain of thinking about his Domino squad often too much to bear.

“Hevy was my brother.” He said after letting out a breath. “He was the oldest of our batch, and a kriffing asshole half the time, and an overprotective mother tooka the other half of the time. He was selfless, and stupid, and everything 99 wanted him to be.” Rex shifted, wrapping an arm around Echo’s shoulders as he spoke. “Then there was Cutup. He was almost as bad as Hevy when it came to smothering us after training. He was always worried we weren’t eating enough, and when he wasn’t smothering us, he was trying to prank anyone who looked at our squad wrong.”

“Sounds like we’d get along with them.” Hunter said with a small grin.

Cody’s eyes suddenly widened with horror. “Can you imagine.”

Echo let out a loud laugh. “Oh, Hev and Cut would have loved you guys.” His face grew a touch sadder, and he leaned more into Rex, who tightened the arm he had around his shoulders. “Then there was Fives and I. Fives was older by literal seconds, but he still held it over me every chance he got.” He couldn’t bring himself to talk more about his twin, and instead pushed on, fighting to keep himself from crying. “Finally… there was Droidbait. He was the baby of the squad, and never did anything wrong in his life.”

“Didn’t you and Fives tell the story of how Droidbait started a food fight during your last day on Kamino?” Rex asked, suspicion in his voice.

Echo raised an eyebrow at his former captain. “Again, ‘Bait never did anything wrong in his life. Ever.”

Beside him, as he had been speaking, Crosshair’s posture had grown more and more relaxed until he was leaning into Echo, arms pressed together as he listened.

“I remember that.” The marksman said, voice quiet and hesitant. Echo immediately glanced at Hunter, who was obviously holding back a small grin at the sound of their brother’s voice.

“I believe Wrecker was enthusiastically involved in widening the range of that chaos.” Tech supplied helpfully.

Echo snorted. “I wouldn’t be surprised. ‘Bait was especially excited at how extreme it went so quickly.” The rest of the clones laughed, and Wrecker’s face was gleeful as he remembered that specific day, tucked at a corner table with his own batch, watching as a group of newly graduated clones cackled and teased one another.

Echo was surprised to find how easily the stories of his brothers fell from his mouth. Instead of the pang of heartbreak over his lost, there was nothing but warmth that filled him, as though Domino was sitting around him, laughing along with the stories.

Omega scooted closer, eyes bright as she asked for more stories, and Echo was only happy to oblige, grinning as Crosshair’s snarky comments interrupted him ever now and again.

It wasn’t the same, but Echo was content in knowing that he could pass on his brothers’ stories and memories.
