The Clone Wars S3E1 - Domino Squad

Missing Fives hours...

[suck-a-egg]

Droidbait: Just be gentle though, I have soft skin.

Hevy: I know, I know. You got that condition where you're a bitch.

[anstarwar]

After Rishi Rex and Cody had a talk. They needed to decide who got which Domino since all of them showed such courage and initiative…oh and they all survived

Rex got Fives, Echo, and Cutup

Cody got Hevy and Droidbait

Droidbait went on to become one of his best ARF scouts, living up to his name time and time again

Unhinged Asks

Random collection of things folks have asked me, and proof that the fuck-around-and-find-out chart exists with me (you know who you are <3 ). These include sfw and nsfw things that, apparently, may or may not be Star Wars related.

Hit me up with random thoughts!

[hyperfixationgoddess]

Hey, everyone! I know it's been a hot minute, but I have an idea for a fic that I'm probably never going to right, but I thought you guys might like to hear about it anyway!

The thing is, I love crossovers. Even if there are just crossover elements, I'm happy. So, here's what I've come up with:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars w/ Spider-Man Elements!

An independent Kaminoan scientist is doing independent experiments on spiders. One day, two of their spider experiments escape.

The corridor that lab is in is a good shortcut to some of the training centers, and CT-5555, aka Fives, and CT-1409, aka Echo, happen to be using it as the spiders are out.

They both get bitten, but they don't think anything of it. They go to training as normal.

Come nightfall, Hevy, Cutup, and Droidbate are in a panic because something is wrong. Both Fives and Echo have fevers, not so severe that they need the medbay, but still worrying.

Come morning, they have ✨ spider powers✨

Here's what I imagine their powers will be, and possible weaknesses they have.

Echo

Organic webbing, like Toby Maguire.

Venom shock, like Miles Morales in Spider-Verse

Stickiness, obviously

Super strength

Spider sense

Enhanced senses

Fangs like Miguel O'Hara, but smaller

Purring

Enhanced metabolism

Healing

Lack of thermoregulation

Sudden aversion to mint and vinegar

Fives

Also organic webbing

Super strength

Stickiness

Spider sense

Enhanced senses

Venomous fangs that retract (I read about that in an MCU fanfic that I can't remember the name of)

Invisibility, also like Miles Morales

Purring

Enhanced metabolism

Healing

Lack of thermoregulation

Sudden aversion to mint and vinegar

I would also like to note that when they are feeling overwhelmed, cornered, or protective, they are liable to go a little feral.

Anyway, they figure out their powers with the help of their batch, and keep everything completely secret from everyone else. So, at the time of their Citadel exam, they're a lot closer.

Except 99, of course. He helped raise everyone. And Clone Force 99, eventually. Fives and Echo, and the rest of the Dominoes, love those kids. Fives and Echo help them feel not alone.

However, both Fives and Echo are overstimulated, because Bric is an asshole, so they aren't at the top of their game. Hevy decides they should take a calculated risk, and they throw the exam

(in my opinion, this just speaks for their faith in Shaak Ti)

Anyway, they pass the exam the second time around and get sent to Rishi. The twins still keep their powers a secret, but they still train with their powers.

When the invasion of commando droids comes knocking, Echo and Fives' spider senses clue them in, so everyone survives! Yay!

The twins do go feral, and they go a little crazy with the webs, but the first wave is pretty much obliterated by the time Cody and Rex show up. It is stressful to clean up all the webs. Luckily, the rest of the Dominoes distract Cody, Rex, and all the others on Rishi

Anyway, everyone survives so all of Domino squad joins the 501st

Eventually, the Dominoes trust the legion enough to tell them about the spider situation, and everyone loves it!

At one point, Hevy pulls Rex aside and is like, Fives and Echo see boundaries differently, so they were afraid to cross yours by asking, so I'm gonna ask for them. Wanna join us for a nest pile at some point? Because that is a thing they do at least once a week.

(also, that lil interaction is my way of saying I headcanon Fives and Echo as neurodivergent)

Also, once the Bad Batch gets out into the field, the Dominoes absolutely follow their missions, cause they're so proud.

Echo and Fives have told Rex all about them, so the 501st gets to work with them a lot sooner.

As Jesse is leading the Batch to the barracks they'll be sharing with the Dominoes, they hear the Dominoes talking about how proud they are of the Bad Batch and that they really hope the Batch wants to do nest piles like when they were cadets but if not they'll respect their boundaries, blah blah blah

Hearts melt, and a nest pile happens, of course!

And of course thanks to the spider senses Echo doesn't get captured, Umbara doesn't go to shit, the chip situation happens differently, and Order 66 doesn't happen!

Thanks for reading! If anyone ends up making something out of this, let me know! I'd love to see it!

[johnnyclash87]

Ok this might be a bit far fetched but.. I think Domino squad and maybe other members of the 501st were part of some sort of experiment..

[one-real-imonkey]

I know Echo got his name for repeating orders and stuff, and I always headcanon part of it is because the word for Twin and Echo are the same in Mando’a and he and Fives are twins and well my whole Domino Squad headcanon, but...

What if part of it was indignantly repeating his brothers words every time they suggest breaking the rules.

Fives: I’m going to go sneak up onto the roof.

Echo: you’re going to sneak onto the roof!

.

Cutup: I’m going to sneak extra rations.

Echo: extra rations!

.

Droidbate: I’m going to run ahead.

Echo: run ahead?

.

Hevy: I might pick a spar with one of the Alphas.

Echo: the Alphas!

.

In the end they just call him Echo because he echos their bad ideas back at them.

[paperback-rascal]

it’s another part for my archer!crosshair x modern!TBB AU by @transformersluna

... and yes, Crosshair has his name written in Aurebesh on his shirt. It’s from his previous club where most of it’s members LOVED Star Wars (which is a franchise within transformersluna's AU) so they decided to write their nicknames in it. 

In my previous post I've made a note that each brother tried to convince Omega to pick up their favorite activity and I'm sure you're interesting to learn what I think those were:

we know Crosshair was/is all about archery

so, the rest of brothers:

Hunter was a boyscout.

Tech started as a chess player then switched to chess boxing to „work on his brain and brawl at the same time” (yes, that's a real sport and it's origins are very NERDY)

Wrecker was all about wall climbing, unfortunately after a terrible accident at local climbing wall, he started to be afraid of heights. So he later picked up martial arts.

Echo – (beach) volleyball (he was the one who actually inspired Omega to pick up soccer as Echo had plenty of fun stories about his team: Fives, Droidbat, Heavy and Cutup, the sixth player never stayed for long, to the point they were mixing names of all the “substitute” players they had over the years). After his team disbanded he and Fives picked up beach volleyball.

Angie!!! 1000+ followers!!! I am so happy to be able to interact with you 🥺 You are always so lovely online, always supportive, and your creativity blows me away every time. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

WITH THAT SAID!!!! i have a fic request...

The Spring Cleaning prompt with 99 and little kiddos Domino Squad? 👉👈💙

HELLO I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FRIEND OF COURSE YOU CAN REQUEST THAT. For you, I would rewrite the declaration of independance to give Owls the power to make decisions for America <3 As always you are so lovely and encouraging, and I don't know where I would be without you and Tech in a speedo!

Prompt: Spring Cleaning Pairings/Group: 99 and the Domino Babies

"You can't keep everything!" Echo squeaks to his , crossing his arms firmly. "We have to make room for some of the new cadets coming in!"

"Aw leave him alone, Echo!" Fives rolls his eyes. He slings the rag he was using to wipe the nearby window over his shoulder and sighs."It's bad enough we have to clean up every single corner of our barrack! We don't need you nagging us too!"

"No he's right!" Another cadet chimed in, peering over the corner of his bunk. "The quicker we all get done, the quicker we can go back to the training room and work on some target practice!"

Hevy snorts as he tosses some papers into the nearby trash bin."You mean you can work on some target practice Droidbat." He puffs out his chest proudly. "I have the highest score out of our entire batch-"

"Yeah and the lowest IQ!" Cut-Up snorts, leaning back in his chair. "They are all right though, Vod." Cut-Up turns to 99."We do have to get rid of some things. You have that whole trunk full of things, 99." He reaches into the chest and pulls out a picture, smiling."Who is that?" He asks, holding up the photo to reveal a group of your troopers.

99 smiles, taking the photo gently. "That was my batch." He shows them, pointing to himself in the center. "See? There I was when I was about your age." He sighs. "That was a long, long time ago though." He chuckles, placing the photo in the 'keep' pile. "This whole trunk is full of very important things if I need to." He glances over it all, feeling slightly overwhelmed. "It's just going to be a bit hard to part with all of this stuff. It's important to me."

"Aw don't listen to them 99!" Fives asks, peering over Cut-Up's shoulder."I think its cool to have stuff! All we have in our trunks is our stupid gear."

"And the cool paper dolls you make us, 99!" Droidbait chimes in, hopping down from the top bunk. "Those are very important to us!"

"Well I am glad to hear that." 99 chuckles, ruffling the cadets hair. He sighs, rubbing a hand over his balding head."I just always find it hard to let go of things." He pulls out a small envelope from the box and smiles. "This is a letter from one of your older brothers I received when the war first started. Now he is a famous captain in the 501st, working alongside jedi and troopers alike!"

"That's going to be us one day!" Droidbait takes the letter slowly, wide eyed. "To think this has actually traveled across the galaxy and right to you!" He whispers, reading it to himself."Can I take this to the archive later and read up about the planets he mentions?" He looks up at 99 eagerly. "I promise I will give it back!"

"Of course you can." 99 chuckles. He reaches into the trunk once more. "And this here is a small stuffie that another brother from the 104th had sent to me when they first landed on Coruscant!" He takes out the small purple tooka, hugging it. "Extra soft!" He hands it over to Hevy.

"This thing its… kinda cute." Hevy's tough guy facade falls, as he pets the stuffed animal slowly. "It is soft!" He grins, holding it to his chest. "Can I keep this little guy with me in my bunk tonight?"

99 nods, digging through another layer in his trunk. "I think you will enjoy this, Cut-Up." he smiles, pulling out a small recorder. "This has some music by Max Rebo." he hands over the device to the eager cadet. "Just be careful and don't hit that X button there or you will delete the whole recording."

"Gee thanks 99!" Cut-Up immediately presses the play button. "I heard the trainers talk about this stuff once! I like it!" He laughs, swaying his hips from side to side. "Catchy!"

"I knew you would like it." 99 chuckles.

Fives reaches in and takes out a small black bag."Whats this?" he asks, unzipping the bag slowly. He takes out a pair of tweezers. "Is this a torture kit?" He asks eagerly, pinching the ends of the tweezers onto Echo's arm.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Echo jerks away, pushing Fives. "Its a grooming kit you idiot! Standard issue!" he growls, rubbing his arm. "That's going to leave a mark!"

Fives turns to 99."But you don't need a grooming kit! You are bald, vod!" He blurts out.

99 bursts into laughter. "Yes, I suppose I am." He runs his hand over his head once more. "Would you like to keep it safe for me, Fives?" he asks, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

"Thank you 99!" Fives clutches the bag to his chest. "It will be great for grooming my mustache."

"Fives you don't have a mustache!" Echo rolls his eyes, sighing. "Is that an old regs manual?" he asks, looking in the bottom of the trunk. "Wow it is! And its-"

"First edition that was ever put out for us troopers!" 99 hands it over to Echo. "And I think it would be perfect for you!" He smiles, watching the eager boy bury his nose in the book. "I remember the day we got those handed out to us." he sighs.

Hevy wanders back over to the trunk and smiles, looking down into it. "Well hey! It looks like you did get rid of some things after all, 99!" he claps his hand. "I think we can call it a day and go grab a bite to eat in the Mess, eh boys?"The others nod in agreement and stand up.

"Are you coming?" Fives asks, turning to 99.

"You boys go ahead." 99 shoos them, waving a hand. "I think I am going to go through all of this a little more." He looks down at the chest and smiles.

[loyaltyandchaos]

@galaxycrxss [x]

Fives preferred to remain optimistic rather than let his dark thoughts take over. He's already lost so many brothers, including Hevy, Cutup, and Droidbate, to let Echo die. Even if the chances are low, Fives will seize on this minimal chance and do everything in his power. He was too stubborn to give up. He didn't want to think about losing his twin. This thought was too painful and scary.

"Well, optimism is all that's left for us. Otherwise, we can only let the tin cans do what they were made for."

They went through many missions together. Since they became part of the Torrent, Fives has worked hard to become an ARC troopers. For both of them to become ARC troopers. And now that they've done it, it would be foolish to let Echo die like this. They'll manage. Rex and Kix will find them and help Echo. And they will laugh at this situation later.

Fives chuckled as Echo joked over the comlink. If he still has his sense of humor, then all is not lost. It was hoped that Rex would be in time.

"But you will be in my arms, it's a little different than just dying on the ground."

Fives rolled his eyes. This argument didn't matter, except that Echo probably wanted to annoy him. But it was a little distracting from their situation. Kix would probably really yell at him if Echo couldn't be moved. But lying still was also a bad option.

"Thanks brother! I really don't mind if Kix yells at me, so yes, I probably volunteered."

"Oh, you sure do volunteered if it was your idea to move the wounded!"

Fives was so focused on keeping Echo straight that he didn't notice Kix and Rex approaching them.

"You can yell at me any time you like, but help him now! Rex, help me then."

Rex and Fives laid Echo gently on the ground so Kix could examine the wound.

[suck-a-egg]

*Hevy drunkenly wanders around the house and Cutup and Droidbate is drunkenly giggling* Fives, completely sober: *sighs* Well, looks like it's just me and you against the world, Echo. Echo, going to their room: Nope, just you. *shuts door*

[suck-a-egg]

A possible au that has been entertaining the hell out of me for months but everytime I try to post it, I forget it immediately.

long story short: Domino survives, they go into hiding until after order 66. This is going to be hard to explain so stick with me

After Rishi, it turns out that Droidbate was more or less stunned but left behind by the others. He has a weird feeling and decides to stick back. He gets out of the building in time to watch Cutup get eaten by the eel and the flair go up and the other three make their way to the "inspectors" and sees Rex kill the eel. He runs and cuts Cutup, haha, out of the eel's stomach because I dont understand how stomach acid works and I don't care to know.

Newly released Cutup and confused as fuck Droidbate, now watch as Hevy sacrifices himself and they bust into the old station and find him burnt up. Listen, if Echo can survive an explosion so can Hevy. They somehow got him stable, don't know how and don't really care.

After Fives and Echo leave with Rex and Cody they get in contact with the "survivors" and give them a comm channel to contact them on and they all talk regularly. The twins give the comm channel to 99 the morning of the invasion but he never gets to use it.

After the citadel, Echo still gets blown up there's literally no way of stopping it, the comm channel goes silent until Umbara where Fives just wants an outsiders opinion and starts talking to them again.

When Fives finds out about the chips, Fox shoots Fives in the shoulder instead of the chest and one of the Corrie guards patches him up. Fives, understanding that if he stays with the GAR then he will be killed, contacts Domino and is smuggled off the planet and back to their little base that they made in a corner of Rishi (Kamino doesn't really pay attention to the moon anymore). Rex doesn't know where Fives; went he just knows he's alive and has no way of communicating with him.

Fast forward towards the end of the war, Rex and the bad batch find Echo caught in the wires on Skako Minor. Rex tries his hardest to try to somehow get in contact with Fives but he's just left at a lot of dead ends. He tells Echo about Fives to a certain degree. He basically just tells him that he went AWOL and doesnt even try to explain the chips or anything. But Echo, being one of the one only people to know about the comm channel, just calls Fives one day and has him explain it.

Domino, now knowing that Echo is alive, tries to convince him to leave the GAR and come with them. But since Echo is not done fighting yet, he chooses to go with the Bad Batch. But Domino makes him agree that if he's ever in trouble or needs help that he will contact them but once he does they will take him "home" to be with them.

Hunter figures out that Echo knows some type of squad outside of the ones that he has personally met because he hears a little bit of their conversation due to his senses. But he chooses to not say anything.

Order 66 still happens and the events of season 1 of the Bad Batch still happens.

After the fall of Kamino, Rex contacts the Batch asking them to go on a mission with him and they somehow end up captured (Omega included). The group that captured them are allies with the Techno Union and they easily figured out who and what Echo was and are trying to take him back to Wambor. The captors for some reason didn't take their equipment, so Echo, now panicking, contacts Hevy specifically, because he's the least likely to freak out, and asks for help. The batch has no idea who he's talking to but Rex has an idea after he hears Hevy's voice.

Rex starts to basically interrogate Echo, asking how long he had known, who was alive, why he kept it a secret. Echo breaks down because he doesn't want his older brother to be mad at him but he also wants to keep his other brothers safe and away from the war.

Wambor shows up an hour before Domino does and they have already taken Echo and hooked him back into a computer and have him completely out of it.

Domino busts in and Hevy and Droidbait find Rex and the rest of the Batch. They let them out of their cell and start asking them where Echo is but get cut off by Fives and Cutup on the comm line telling them that they had found the final Domino. Everyone rushes over and finds Fives cradling Echo to his chest while trying to calm him down. Fives ends up carrying him out of the prison and back on to the ship that they somehow commandeered.

They get poor echo back on the ship and after some questioning from Rex, they take the Batch back to the marauder but when they try to get off of Domino's ship, Echo doesn't go with them and chaos ensues.

You didn't see this, E

[one-real-imonkey]

Domino Squad headcanon:

Echo and Fives are twins, they came out of the same tube, so their batch had 6 members. Of course, a squad only needs 5, and the Kaminoans believe one twin is inherently inferior and weaker from birth due to their being twins.

So one of them was going to be decommissioned, the one who scored lower and was the less efficient. Echo and Fives, as twins, did what they could to keep in balance so neither could be seen as the weaker, but one would have gone.

Except Armlock fell into the ocean on a training run. He fell and got sick and never caught up in training or academics, always too weak. He was decommissioned, and both Echo and Fives were saved. It broke up the squad, because it was abnormal and singled them out as weaker and caused them all sorts of issues.

They were at constant risk of decommissioning but thanks to 99, they pulled back together and made it through.

In the end for too long it was only the twins that shouldn’t have made it.

Then they lost each other.

In the end Fives and Echo both lived the last parts of their lives believing they should have been the first of their batch to go, and in the end they were the last.
