I opened my eyes, and there was Echo, standing right in front of me. He extended his hand and pulled me to my feet.
"Welcome brother." He said with a broad smile.
I withdrew my hand and hung my head ashamedly. "Echo I-"
He held up his hand and cut me off. "It's okay Fives."
"But I shouldv'e-"
"Fives, shut up."
I smiled at the familiar rebuke, though I was usually the one to tell him to shut up.
"I missed you Echo." I hugged my brother.
"We missed you too." Echo stood back and revealed ranks of brothers in shining, glossy white armor with no helmets on. Many of them had markings on their armor as they must have had during their service in the war. A few stood out from the others and ran towards us. I took off running at the group of three long lost brothers and we collided in a crash of armor and joyful shouts.
"Fives!" Hevy clasped my arm. He was scarred from the events that took his life, yet he didn't look disfigured in any way at all. He was still the same Hevy I'd grown up with. The scars only showed the circumstances of his arrival to this resting place. "Welcome."
"I always wanted to live up to what you did to save us Hevy." I said. "Somehow I don't think that was even possible."
"You're probably right." Hevy grinned. "But who cares? You're here now. You're safe forever. And I don't have to baby-sit you anymore either."
"Hey Cutup." I gave him a playful punch in the shoulder. "You still losing to Hevy in arm wrestling?"
Cutup smirked. "Like you wouldn't believe. You'd think he's got nothing better to do with his time..."
"Still making bad jokes as usual..." Droidbait muttered from the side.
I snickered. "Yeah that's nothing abnormal."
"Come on now, time for you to join the others," Echo gently guided me forward.
I spotted Rex as the clone captain strode purposefully forward in his perfect military gait. "You did well Fives. Welcome Home."
