Clonetober #31 Remembrance and Rescue

Don’t worry. I’m still working on #27. I just thought you guys might want to read this while you wait for of the story. Please enjoy!

Since some of you know that Echo (sorry for those who don’t know) but Echo is ALIVE! He survived (most of his body) but has a new look. For those who don’t know what he looks like now, just think of Cyborg from Teen Titans, only less robot. Anyway, as I thought that if Echo survived, maybe the Domino Squad is STILL ALIVE since they were stationed on Rishi Moon.

Everything was peaceful after Chancellor Palpatine was arrested (in my stories) and the Clones could have a family of their own until Echo and The Bad Batch (with Omega and Crosshair) got a message from the Rishi Moon. The Bad Batch thought that the signal was from a different planet but Echo knew that voice. That was Droidbait. Echo begged the Bad Batch to go there to see if he was still alive. They told him that it was years ago but decided to go anyway. Echo and Omega gave Hunter the sad puppy eyes which made it work. They were going to the Rishi Moon NOW.

Echo was so excited that he told Rex and Cody that they got a message from Droidbait on Rishi Moon. Echo told them that he could survive, then his Domino Brothers could too. Rex and Cody decided to go with them (on a bigger ship to fit everyone) to see if Echo was telling the truth.

As they were traveling through space, Echo couldn’t stop talking about the amazing adventures that he had with his Domino Brothers. He told Omega and some of the others (mostly Omega who wanted to learn more of her new Big Brother Echo) on how they got their names and that they almost didn’t pass their training. He told Omega that Fives and Cutup were always pranksters, Droidbait got shot almost all the time when they were training, and Hevy was like the Alpha Dog of their Squad.

Echo started crying as he told Omega and the others about his Brothers. He missed those times with them. All those memories that he kept locked inside him for years were now opened to his new Squad. Omega, Rex, and the Bad Batch would take turns comforting him until they landed on the planet.

When Tech spoke on the intercom telling everyone that they were here, Echo whipped his tears away and ran out of the ship as soon as the door opened to the outside. He almost knocked Hunter over in the process. Echo started calling for his Brothers and heard voices calling out from one of the caves. Echo ran into the caves to see Droidbait, Cutup, and SURPRISINGLY  Hevy were ALL ALIVE. Echo asked them HOW they survived the explosion and getting shot at. Echo also wanted to know HOW Cutup  survived being eaten by the Rishi Eel.

As soon as the Omega & The Bad Batch came into the cave (Echo told his Squad Brothers about his guests), they sat in the cave listening to how they SURVIVED after the Battle. Echo asked how Droidbait survived after he got blasted by the droids.

Droidbait told him & the others that after he got shot, he pretended to be dead as the droid walked by. Once the droids were out of sight, he slowly got up and went into the vent that led to a secret bunker in one of the caves and placed a Bacta Patch to heal his wound. Droidbait then snuck back on the base to see if another of his squad was still ALIVE. As he was looking around, he saw that Sergeant O’Niner and his other Clone Brothers (not his Squad Brothers) were all DEAD. He tried to save them but with no luck. He did get a chance to hear Sergeant O’Niner take his last breath saying to Droidbait, “It was an Honor having….having (coughs) to have you here not for having you work with us….(takes a breath in) but a caring Brother. May the force be with you. (he took his last breath).”

After Echo heard that, he couldn’t stop but to cry after hearing what Droidbait had to say. Once Echo pulled himself together, he asked Cutup how he Survived after getting swallowed up by the Rishi Eel. Cutup told Echo and the others that since they had been at the base for a LONG TIME, he was able to bond with Rishi Eel. He taught the Rishi Eel some tricks if something ever BAD was happening, it would pick him up and drop him in the cave. He gave the Rishi Eel a name. Cutup told them that the Rishi Eel is a girl and that her name is “Chi Chi”. Cutup said that Chi Chi was going to bring Echo and the others into the cave but didn’t want to because she was afraid of getting shot at again. Echo did ask him where Chi Chi was. Cutup told him that he found her dead after he saw Echo & Fives leave in a ship. Echo didn’t want to tell him that Rex shot Chi Chi. Anyway, it was now time for Echo to ask HOW did Hevy survived after they saw the base blow up.

When Echo was about to asked how in the galaxy did Hevy survived, he looked at Hevy’s legs. He realized that Hevy had the same thing as Echo did only more different. Hevy was wearing Super Battle Droid Legs on. Hevy told Echo and the others that when he was about to hit the button on Gonk Droid, Droidbait IMMEDIATELY tossed a rope to Hevy from the air ducts so he could pull Hevy down in the cave after he pushed the button. Hevy was able to make it into the cave before the base blew up but lost his legs in the process. Hevy was in the Baca Tank that they had in the cave for 6 months. They had in the other caves a food & supplies storage and a place to sleep. They tried to contact someone but were still recovering from their injuries.

Echo was surprised that his Squad was still alive that he fainted. Lucky that Crosshair caught him before he could hit the floor. Wrecker helped carry Echo to the ship with his Domino Squad Brothers followed on board. Once they were all on the ship, Crosshair & Hunter piloted the ship while Tech gave the Domino Squad a check up to make sure that Echo was doing OK before they went back to Kamino for some real Medical Help. Domino Squad was a little bit hesitant on the thought of being used at EXPERIMENTS by the Kaminoans. Tech told them that they WON'T let the Kaminoans come see them. That made the Domino Squad feel more at ease.

Once they landed on Kamino, the Domino Squad got a STANDING OVATION as they stepped off the ship. The Domino Squad was shocked that their Brothers were proud of how they survived. They got hugs and compliments as they walked to the Medical Bay to get treated.

After a month of being in the Medical Bay (had Kamino Clone Guards outside their rooms so the Kaminoans wouldn’t enter the Domino Squad’s rooms also, Hevy got some new metal legs), Domino Squad & Echo got a BIG surprise. Domino Squad if Echo knew what the BIG surprise was. Even Echo had no clue. All he knows is that Rex, Cody, and the Bad Batch told them to put on the blind folds on as they guided them to a room. Once they were in the room, they told the Domino Squad and Echo to take off their blind folds. As soon as they took the blind folds off, they saw that their LAST Brother of their Squad Fives was STILL ALIVE! He was in a Bacta Tank. Kix (who was in the room making sure that Fives was doing OK) told them that Fives is doing better and that they will be able to see each other in a few weeks. 

Echo couldn’t wait to tell Fives all the things that happened to him but was sad because he didn’t want to leave his Old Squad. Luckily Hunter told him that he can always visit the Bad Batch Squad whenever he wants to. Echo told Hunter that he wants to be with his Domino Brothers but he also wanted to be with the Bad Batch. As he was thinking on who he should stay with, Crosshair told him that Echo’s Squad can join the Bad Batch Squad because family is most important. The Bad Batch, Omega, and the Domino Squad liked that idea. Tech told everyone that if they were going to join together that they would need a new name. They just had to wait until Fives woke up.

After Fives was doing better, they started to come up with a new name. They had a hard time figuring out what to call themselves. Omega came up with a name. She told them that we should be called the “99’s Domino Batch”. Everyone liked that idea. Even Crosshair liked it. Finally, Echo was happy to have his Old Squad and his New Squad as One WHOLE Squad.

Clonetober Round-Up!

All my Clonetober2021 drawings together! Thank you @clonetober​ for organizing this event! I had a ton of fun and I’m so proud of myself for drawing so much despite being really busy for almost all of October. I even did a few things that were outside of my comfort zone (looking at you, Rex with the foreshortening and Kix with that particular angled profile xD). You can find the bigger versions of these on my clonetober2021 tag or my art tag.

I hope I can color some of my favorites soon! (I think I need the Order 66 Pizzas one as a sticker, ngl.) Which ones would you want to see colored?

Clonetober 2021 Day 21: Clones + their Jedi/domestic

Cody and Obi post war getting to share a sweet moment after some celebration or other

[catawampuscorner]

Family holo for their first Halloween! You know that Plo is the parent that every kid wants to trick-or-treat with. He dresses up with the Pack but doesn’t embarrass them in front of their friends, and if someone (naming no names, but Comet) gets scared, he’ll be real subtle about holding hands.

.

I really wasn’t sure I’d finish this one before Halloween, never mind in time for day 26 of Clonetober (the prompt is “Wolfpack”), but I had a rainy day and a strong desire to just sit and colour something. And this one...she’s got a lot of colours 😂 There’s a non-holo version under the cut if you want to see them in all their saturated glory.

Friendly reminder that we know in canon that Cody was not present for the first battle of Geonosis

Friendly reminder that we know in canon that Rex was

Food for thought: Rex is probably the older clone, Cody was just designed to outrank him

The Spaces Between

“What does the Force feel like?”

It’s dark out, and the vast sea of stars above them glitters faintly, casting pinpricks of light into Obi-Wan’s eyes. The forest rustles with the sounds of late evening, and farther away, a muted, human hum. The company is making camp, settling down for the next night on this unnamed planet. It’s peaceful here, and when things are so beautifully uncomplicated the quiet whispers guilt into Cody’s mind. One way or another, they’ve brought war to rest beneath its branches.

“Cody, you can ask anything of me you wish,” Obi-Wan had said. “I hope you know that.”

And there was a beat of silence, waiting for Cody to say something like thank you or I understand or that means a lot. But he didn’t. The words had tumbled from his mouth unbidden, and now his tongue throbbed where he wished he’d bitten them back.

Obi-Wan leans back, slightly, fixing his gaze on something beyond the stars, and Cody opens his mouth to apologize. But the Jedi beats him to it, as Jedi often do. “What an interesting question.” His beard curves softly along the lines of his smile.

Cody ducks his head down, sheepish, but he cannot take it back now. Obi-Wan is unfazed.

“I suppose it is hard to describe, because I have never been without it,” he muses. “We teach that it flows through us - we are its instruments, in a sense.” He shifts again, turning back to Cody. There is something compelling in the depths of his eyes, lit softly with kindness and care.  Cody always wondered if that was it - that constant, undefined existence - or if that was simply the way Kenobi was. Maybe it was both.

So Obi-Wan sat back, pointing towards the spaces between the stars, telling snatches of stories Cody didn’t fully understand - moments stolen from when they were younglings, learning to meditate in the crèche, ancient fables of light and dark from thousands of years ago.

But Cody got it when Obi-Wan looked into his eyes, and smiled, and gestured towards the faraway sounds of the men, in their newly-built camp among the trees. Light glowed from their tents. A fire crackled subtly, and threads of woodsmoke wisped past Cody’s nose. Someone was singing - probably Wooley - and someone else laughed and added their voice to the song. Waxer, who would be clinging to Boil’s arm trying to get him to join in.

Cody could feel the warmth from here.

And it practically made Obi-Wan glow. He drank it in like it was mixed with the air, re-emitted it and tangled the air with something indescribable. His eyes glowed with that something, his body relaxed until he just was. He reached for Cody’s hand, and his fingers tingled with life and energy and meaning.

There was something my Master used to say, Obi-Wan tells him.

It surrounds us. It penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

Cody looks back for the distant lights of his brothers. They’re singing, now, all together, and someone laughs when someone else is purposely off-key and the fire snaps merrily like an arrhythmic kind of percussion.

There’s something warm in his chest, a careful, kindly glow. His breaths come easier, and he can’t feel the bite of the breeze on the back of his throat anymore. Obi-Wan rubs his thumb over the back of Cody's hand, and the same warmth seems to live in all of the places their skin meets. It drifts in the air with the smoke and the sounds of the forest and the nameless melody around the fire.

Nowhere, and everywhere, and all of the places in between.

*******

One final Obi-Wan and Cody for @clonetober - I can't believe it's almost over. I thought it was fitting to do them again. I wasn't expecting to get to know Cody this month as well as I have, but I'm so glad I have. He's such a beautiful character.

I do feel bad that the rest of the 212th hasn't really gotten the love they deserve (from me, anyway). It's been easier to psychoanalyze one person at a time, admittedly; but the rest of the guys in gold are quite high on my list of priorities.

Soon, I promise.
