adventures with the bad batch

Part twenty-eight (ep14)

Hunter, omega and I were just sitting in the main room, hunter was spinning his knife, I was forcing my lightsaber up and down, omega started attempting to spin a tool she was using to fix gonky,

"we're being hailed, its...Rex" echo said, hunter, omega and I got up and walked into the cockpit,

"hello boys, sorry to cut right to it, but I could use your help" rex said

"what do you need captain?" hunter asked

"I received a distress signal, from a clone signal, but I am a bit tied up at the moment to retrieve him" rex informed us

"you want us to recover a reg?" hunter asked

"hes an old friend and he's in trouble, I need you to get him out" omega looked up at Hunter, who was clearly not to keen to do this, especially with the lack of information,

"out of what exactly?" hunter asked, something started beeping on rex's side of the come

"can't talk right now, sending you his signal, I will be in touch" rex said closing off the comms

"what was that about?" wrecker asked

"the distress signal sent by CC-5576 is originating from Daro" tech informed us

"whats he doing all the way out there?" hunter asked

"well does it matter?" Echo asked

"we've gone on missions before without much information but this would be stretching it"

"rex wouldn't ask us for help if it wasn't urgent" echo said

"echos got a point" wrecker nodded

"may I remind you that we are in the middle of a job fro Sid, if we deviate we will not be compensated, no money means no food" tech said

"techs got a point" wrecker nodded again

"but rexs friend is in trouble, that's more important that getting paid" omega said

"oh the kids got a point" wrecker nodded again, hunter gave wrecker an annoyed look

"fine we will check things out, but I don't like It" hunter agreed and we changed our corse to daro.

we landed on Daro and walked out into the forest of the planet, we followed the signal, tech and omega ran over to it, but something was wrong, I could sense something, something bad is going to happen,

"whats wrong?" hunter asked me

"I don't know, somethings off" I said inspecting the planet,

"keep an eye out" he said before kneeling down and inspecting a broken twig,

"we are already too late, the clone was being hunted, he was dragged that way" hunter said signalling his arm and walking in that direction "hang on" hunter said before sliding his hand through some mud, I always liked when he used his senses like this, I don't know why but it was defiantly cool,

"theres something here, inside that mountain" he said looking up at a big rocky mountain,

"I believe you are right, my scans are being jammed," tech said clicking at his data pad

"you said there was nothing on this planet" wrecker said

"that data appears to be inaccurate"

"Ella" he said turning to me "you, wrecker and omega wait on the ship" he ordered

"wait why can't-" omega wanted to protest but hunter cut her off

"coming here was up for debate, this isn't" he said firmly, spoken like a true father, omega looked to the ground and wrecker started to lead her back to the ship,
