A/N: This little fic is the result of listening to the fantastic Republic Commando soundtracks. Hearing the clones sing "Vode An," "Rage of the Shadow Warriors" and "Gratua Cuun" made me fall in love with them all over again, and it occurred to me to write a song about how each member of Omega Squad felt after the Battle of the Geonosis. Each member of the squad narrates a verse, and the 'chorus' is sung by all four of them.

Sole Survivor

[INTRO]

(All)

We were brothers

Brothers all

I am alive; you are dead

I will remember you, so you will be immortal

'Cause I am the sole survivor

[VERSE 1]

(Darman)

Used to think my squad was invincible

Death was something that happened to other squads

Not mine

But that day on Geonosis

Changed everything

I was separated from my squad in the battle

I wasn't even there when they died

Why did they have to die while I lived?

I never got to say goodbye

Now I am alone

I am the sole survivor

[CHORUS]

(All)

We were brothers

Brothers all

I am alive; you are dead

I will remember you, so you will be immortal

'Cause I am the sole survivor

[VERSE 2]

(Atin)

I am no stranger to losing your squad

It wasn't any easier the second time around

It hurt ten times worse

Vau called me a hut'uun, brutalized me, said I left them behind

People see the scar on my face

But they don't see the scar on my soul

Why did I have to lose a second squad of brothers?

The guilt eats me from the inside out

'Cause I am the sole survivor

[CHORUS]

(All)

We were brothers

Brothers all

I am alive; you are dead

I will remember you, so you will be immortal

'Cause I am the sole survivor

[VERSE 3]

(Fi)

I exhaust myself every day

Until I can fall asleep

And then I do it again

To cope with the pain

I was there with my brothers 'til the end

My medic's experience couldn't do a thing

They died, one by one

'Til I was the only one left standing

Did they know how much I cared?

I hope they did,

'Cause I am the sole survivor

[CHORUS]

(All)

We were brothers

Brothers all

I am alive; you are dead

I will remember you, so you will be immortal

'Cause I am the sole survivor

[VERSE 4]

(Niner)

I would trade every remaining second of my life

To rerun the Geonosis engagement

Would have done things different

I was their Sarge, they trusted me, I should have been able to protect them

I have lost a brother before

But it can't compare to this

Because this time around,

I am the sole survivor

[OUTRO]

(Fallen Brothers)

We were brothers

Brothers all

You are alive; we are dead

Remember us, so we will be immortal

'Cause you are the sole survivors

A/N: So, what do you think? Please tell me if you think any of the clones sound 'off,' and I'll try to fix it. Feel free to give me ideas for improvement/expansion; I'd like to lengthen this fic (add more verses), but have currently run out of inspiration. I'd appreciate any kind of review you'd have to offer, including constructive criticism.

A massive 'THANK YOU SO MUCH!' to Moondoe and Stilwater Rundeepo for their invaluable insight and suggestions!
