I thank God for all my inspiration.
Anakin did not kill the sand people and the force is not an entity in this.
It was finally over, the battle had been won. The bad batch had returned to their isolated travels and missions, once they found Cody was okay. Meanwhile Rex had decided he would be taking some leave with Echo.
Echo, the poor man was broken. He had done his best to help but now that the battel was over he had time to think, too much time. He could see his vod'ika looking still sickly as he looked down at the holovids of his lost brothers and the man he once was.
Rex frowned as he looked at the two in comparison. Echo was still thin after they had found him in that lab of horrors. His hair was coming back but just a peach fuzz, his skin was still sickly pale though, but he was hoping to help with that by actually getting him some sunlight.
They had also been working on getting Echo a better suite and implants, but even after all that Echo just sat there reminiscing.
The worst was when he would look at the pictures with Fives in them. Echo shuttered as he looked at another picture of Fives and said "Why?" At that point Rex had had enough. He rushed over and looked Echo in the eyes and said "Echo come with me."
Echo was shocked but nodded as he fallowed his ori'vod to a what looked to be a medbay he asked "Rex, what's going on?" Rex sighed as he said "Sit down while I explain." Rex brought out some kind scanner Echo as he began to explain "Do you remember the report on Fives?"
Echo nodded as he replied "I do, I don't believe any of it. Fives was a good soldier he never do something like that." Rex grimaced at the term 'good soldier' but then said "I didn't buy it either. I regret what happened everyday."
Echo looked at him and said "It wasn't your fault." Echo's look turned into glare as he remembered the brother who did kill his batchmate. Rex sighed, Echo had a right to be mad but that anger worried him.
The jedi had a saying about their anger and fear leading them to a dark path, he wondered if the same could be true for his brother if he didn't help him. Rex then said "I did some research without anyone knowing and then I decided to do something crazy."
Echo looked up as Rex turned his head and his eyes widened at the small scar on his head. "Sir you mean…?"
Rex nodded and said "I think he was right. I'm not completely clear on it all but I know something going on. Something to do with the jedi if the nightmares are anything to go on, but whatever the kaminons were planning won't affect me. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can get it out of you but it seems that won' be necessary."
Echo was surprised as he said "Why not?" Rex growled as he replied "Seems all that messing around Tambor did at least brought out one good thing. Your chip's bean destroyed." Echo looked shocked as he said "Then how come I don't know anything about the plan or the chips or…?"
Rex held his arm and said "You where plug in their mainframe for sometime Echo. It would only make sense you can't remember everything." Echo sighed as he nodded as he said "I suppose."
Rex then sat down across him and said "Echo do you think you could help me? I want to find a way to get rid of the chips but I don't have proof or a way to get them all out safely. If there's a way to make a signal to maybe destroy the chips without hurting our brothers."
A that Echo looked up and said "Fives, tried to save our brothers from what ever this was. I'll do whatever I can to help them now." Rex misled as he said "Good. Before that though, get some rest and heal up. You need it."
Echo looked like he was about to protest but Rex gave his captain stare and Echo had to sigh as he replied "Okay you win captain." Rex smiled and nodded as the two headed off to get something to eat before heading for their shore leave.
