The Bad Batch: Tech's Fall

Another Point Of View?

    Little did they know.... 

Hunter, Wrecker and Echo were searching the galaxy for Omega....

    "I still can't believe Cid betrayed us!" Wrecker exclaimed in disbelief, as he thrust his fists down onto a table in the common area. "Calm down, we were all there, and none of us can believe it!" Echo complained from the cockpit. Hunter stared out the window of the cockpit and sighed. He then lowered his head with his hand squeezing his nose bridge. Hunter shook his head slowly. Echo patted Hunter's shoulder slightly awkwardly. "I'm sure she's fine. Why would they try so hard to get something just to kill it?" Echo asked, returning his gaze to the buttons, switches and leavers in front of them. Hunter sighed, and muttered something but Echo didn't catch it. "Maybe we should head back to Pabu? We could stalk up on supplies and fix the Marauder. In a more.... trustworthy place." Echo scrambled for the right word. "Most people are most likely gra-" Before Echo could continue Hunter interjected. "We have to find Omega before we do anything." He growled. Echo sighed, knowing they didn't have too many supplies left, but knew nothing was going to stop Hunter from searching. Soon the Marauder shook and came out of hyperspace, a yellowish-brown planet sat in front of them. Two suns' light reflected off the planet and into Echo and Hunter's eyes blinding them for a second. Echo guided the ship into the atmosphere of the planet. A voice came on the transmitter. "Shuttle 4892 please dock in bay 5." Echo looked at Hunter slightly confused but also revealed, Hunter returned the gaze with an also revealed gaze, but worry and concern also filled his gaze. "I'm sure she's alright." Echo tried to calm Hunter, but seeing this had done nothing he continued to pilot the Marauder into bay 5. The ship rocked violently before finally hitting the golden-brown ground. "Hey, I thought we were looking for Omega?" Wrecker asked, as Echo and Hunter exited the cockpit. "You need to be alive to search for someone, so we have to get a few things so we can live." Echo answered, with annoyance as he rolled his eyes. "Oh right." Wrecker said quietly. Echo then inserted a code into the control panel beside the hatch. The Marauder's hatch opened slowly, but quicker then most ships' hatches. Once the hatch was all the way down Hunter took the lead into the outside, Echo followed and Wrecker was behind them both. Once they walked out of the bay Hunter turned his head to Echo, but continued walking forward. "What do we need." Hunter asked, Echo paused for a minute thinking on what they'd need. "More rations, water and a few parts for the Marauder." Echo answered, hoping he hadn't forgot something. Hunter stopped and faced Echo and Wrecker. "I'll get the rations, Wrecker you get the water, and Echo you get the parts for the ship. If you need help carrying anything we'll meet back at the Marauder." And when Hunter was finished he waited a few seconds before turning away and walking off. Echo walked off, examining all the round roofed, sandy colored buildings, wondering where to go. He read a few signs on the buildings, but none had said anything about spare ship parts. He then saw a large building with a sign above the doorway, it read: Wald's Parts. He saw a green skinned toydarian, flying around the front of the shop, trying to get someone to buy something. Echo stepped into the range where the toydarian was trying to get people to buy stuff. The toydarian flew up to Echo. "Hello, would you like to buy some spare parts for your ship or droids? Please, please?" He asked desperately. Echo raised a hairless eyebrow at the toydarian then nodded. "Yes, I'm looking for a few parts." Echo answered, skeptically. "Alright, this way, this way!" The toydarian said happily. He led Echo into the dark shop, as it had little lighting. Pieces of scrap hung from shelves and even covered some parts of the floor, there were even a few droids around, attempting to clean up. "See anything you like, just tell me!" The toydarian said in a loud tone, flying to a desk near the front of the shop. Echo slowly walked around, examining everything to see if this toydarian had anything the Marauder needed. Echo spotted a section of parts he needed. He paused and examined all the parts. "This is exactly what we need." Echo whispered, he then turned around and jumped as the toydarian had been flying behind him. "Intrested?" He asked Echo, Echo picked up a piece of scrap and examined it. "Also by the way, break it and you buy it!" The toydarian warned before flying back to his desk. Echo picked up his commlink and pushed a button. "Wrecker I found everything the Marauder needs, meet me at Wald's Parts." Echo said into the commlink. "Comming!" Wrecker said into his commlink. Echo walked toward the front door of Wald's Parts. "Wait, don't leave yet! There is so much here to buy for your ship or yourself!" The toydarian begged. "I'm not leaving, I'm waiting for someone." Echo answered.

    Wrecker was running through the streets as quickly as he could to get to Wald's Parts. He had no luck finding water so he decided to abandon looking for it to help Echo. He then almost passed it, but tried to stop right away, this resulted in skidding, then falling forward. Wrecker got up and ducked into the doorway of Wald's Parts. He saw Echo and a weird bug thing waiting inside. Wrecker took a moment to examine the bug thing, which had a trunk, two small wings, a large body, tusks, two webbed feet and three fingers for both his hands, and green skin (same species as Watto). Wrecker paused for a breath then looked at Echo. "Where is the stuff?" He asked. Echo lifted his hand and gestured for Wrecker to follow. They walked past a few shelves and found the stuff Echo wanted to take. "All of it?" Wrecker asked, and Echo responded with a nod. Wrecker picked up all the scrap and turned around. "That will be...." The bug thing calculated the price for all the things. "Two-hundred-sixty-seven credits." Echo gave the bug thing half the amount of credits he had, then the two left the shop, and headed toward bay 5.

    Hunter walked around, trying to find a place that sold rations. Annoyed he had not found one he stopped and looked around. He head heard shouting coming from the shop beside him called Wald's Parts. Hunter ignored this though and thought. His commlink let out some static then the voice of Echo came on. "Hunter we've got the parts for the Marauder, but Wrecker was unable to find any water." Hunter picked up his commlink and pressed a button and spoke into it. "I haven't found any rations around here. If I don't find any soon then we'll leave, you better have the Marauder ready when I get there." Hunter responded. He waited a few seconds to see if he would get an answer, but none came, so he put the commlink back onto his belt.
