"Call at arms! With Ahsoka and Sparky now awaken from their coma after their battle upon Mandalore. The two young adults now plan ahead on how they would require to get back up to full strength. Leading to a answer that not even the Jedi Council has thought of."
In route to Kamino
Traveling within space upon a battleship cruiser was Captain Rex, who was flying it to his home world Kamino. Where the source of all clones are created and born from. Within the ship was Skywalker as well the rest of the Wild Force, seeing how Sparky made a request to the council as well Rex about some extra training he wanted for Ahsoka as well his team.
"So, you just got up from a what apparently Ahsoka explained was a 'Force Dream'. And now, want to get some training not from Jedi, but the clones?"
Ash questioning the logic behind what Sparky stated to the council, seeing that what he saw that day on Mandalore. Required that of military training, which involved them getting more focused on their abilities. As well not get carried away, as well distracted when Sparky saw Palpatine's true colors.
"The clones do much more than the Jedi. As well how they understand the meaning of frustration on the field. Especially when it comes to surprises."
Sparky stating that when he would encounter Evil or anyone else, he wouldn't be distracted and lose focus. Which he did when he let the old man died, the others looked at Sparky seeing how he was dead set on getting this training.
"If that's the case, how come Ahsoka is doing it as well? Don't Jedi's train each other."
Speed asking since Ahsoka applied to this training as well, on the side was Obi wan and Anakin looking at Ahsoka. Who was given new clothing which was dark blue with a mixture of grey, was making sure she was mentally preparing herself for the training up ahead.
"Because that's not going help me get better. While I do want to learn what happened to me mentally, I need to strengthen myself. Which is by training like the clones that Anakin and Obi Wan lead into battle."
Expressing to the cheetah how if she wanted to get stronger, she would have to physically work out. And nothing said it better than being on a planet with Clones who get military training to fight the droids across the galaxy. The two Jedi looked at the padawan of how confident she was on this choice, more or less if it was a smart idea to go on with this.
"While it is true every Jedi learns to be strong on their own. But this is to much, even for her."
Kenobi stating to Anakin about how this seemed like a bad idea, Anakin. While agreeing a bit on how Jedi and clone training didn't mix, however with what has happened. As well the balance of power was now out of balance, it seemed necessary for them to prepare themselves for what might happen.
"Considering what we just learned, as well how you. Learned about my 'relationship' and didn't tell the other Jedi. Means that we're changing, whether it's for the better or worst."
Stating to his former master that with what had happened, more or less that with how mot of his life of becoming the suppose 'Chosen one'. To now learning about the chancellor being the Sith master they were tracking down and to end his terrible reign. They soon were making their arrival to the water planet, in which it seemed there was a storm happening.
"In never imagined myself seeing the home world of the clone soldiers. Rather breath taking."
Zena stating that there were rumors about the clones, they were being breed on a hostile war world. Or were being raised by Wookies in which they were Wookies themselves, but had their fur shaved and taught them the ways of fighting and warfare.
"Well, it might not be busy on the outside. It's what the inside that's where the real action is."
Rex explaining as they soon landed upon the Kamino station, right outside the base. Lama Su as well several other Kaminoan's awaited for their walk, in which the doorway opened showing the Jedi masters as well Rex. The long necked aliens bowed their heads greeting them of how this was quite the unexpected arrival.
"Greetings Jedi masters and captain Rex. It's been a while since you've come here, especially after the reveal of the clone army."
Lama explaining that it had been a while since he had last seen the trio, in which the Kaminoan noticed the Wild Force coming down from the railing and Ahsoka. To which they have heard the numerous reports of how they had made sure to decrease the death toll of their clones. Which they were grateful for the strange creatures.
"Lama Su, apologies for the unexpected arrival. But, Sparky. Has a request to ask of you since you are in charge of cloning operation here, as well the training here."
Obi wan asking for a favor from him due to how with every clone soldier that had been dispatched from Kamino, as well placed in different planets and sectors in the galaxy. They got their training here since the whole base was underwater, to which Lama looked over to the robot dog seeing he wanted to ask them what the favor was.
"I'd like to request clone training for my team as well Padawan Tano. After the battle on Mandalore, we need experienced training. More or less something different if we're going up against Evil and his forces."
Sparky telling him how when the battle of Mandalore which was shown across the entire galaxy. Showed how dangerous Evil was, especially if he waged an entire civil war upon a battle of legendary warriors. The Kaminoan senator didn't know how to accept this since most cloning training was advised underneath Jedi masters as well fellow scientists.
"While single training would be possible, all of our staff is working on the new clones that have been made. Each batch are being overlooked right now."
Expressing a sad like state that even if they could enter into the training program, all the clone batches were being looked over. As well adding a new group into the session would ruin the program, on the side was Quackers, who was thinking about their problem more or less of the issue at hand.
"If that's the problem. Would it be possible to place us in a batch that isn't occupied? Or still in training."
Thinking that out of the thousands of clones training and preparing themselves to protect the planets in the galaxy. There has to be one that was still miles away to be on their own, more or less haven't graduated yet. Most of the long necked aliens muttered a bit about a batch they could work with to help with training. As they continued to talk to each other, there seemed to be a batch that they could train with.
"There is one, that might accept you. Especially with how many battles you've won, along worked side by side with. Could work, their clone force number is ninety nine."
Informing them about the group they could train with to see how it was done, more or less get the extra training when it involved if they were to get ready. Though the look on Rex's face, made him shake his head at the mention of the name.
"What's the matter Rex? Had a run in with this group?"
Obi wan asking his friend about from how he looked from the response of Lama. Bringing up the team name may have stirred up some memories, especially about what their real name is.
"There not a group, there. Somewhat like you all, but mutated."
Responding to Obi wan and that of the Wild Force in which they didn't what he meant by that. Sparky felt concern on what Rex meant because of the word 'mutated' could mean many things. More or less that it could be something none of them would think of, following the Kaminoan's to the elevator. They proceed to head downwards to the lower part of the laboratory. In which they would see the team that would help them get stronger so they could battle Evil and his forces.
Later in the training halls
Within the numerous thousands of training halls that was built for each clone faction and group, one was being right now in use. To which there were several combat droids being destroyed, ripped apart as well exploded like if they were nothing. Lama had lead the guests of who was doing this destructive work. Along unlike many of the clones Sparky and the Jedi had faced with, they were laughing.
"Batch ninety nine. Also known as, 'The Bad Batch'."
Rex said with both a serious and concern tone, in which there were around five clones in the room. Unlike most clones that were all the same, as well having different armor sets. Their bodies, more or less personalities were different when they were being informed.
"Unlike most of our clone creations we had a, slight disfunction. Their minds were altered and their corporation for higher authorities became challenging. Their dangerous and are seen, different."
Lama giving them a introduction to the five black armored clone troopers. To which the Wild Force took a look at each one. More or less how they were displaying themselves in the training room. The possible normal looking clone trooper was using a knife to handle the droids, as well moving fast like a wolf.
"Their leader is Hunter, in which the name fits due to his unique mutation revolving around his senses. He's able to perceive electromagnetic frequencies whenever he cannot use technology. A natural made tracker."
Explaining about what Hunter's seemingly 'mutated' trait was. Which didn't seem that bad, more or less that it was like Sparky when he was finding people. There was another clone trooper who lurked in the shadows while having a customized 773 Fire puncher sniper rifle. Which he was making several trick shots at the droids.
"That one from the distance is Crosshairs, while most clones have their eyes checked. His eyes always acted up, either seeing obstacles miles or up close."
Informing them of how the clone trooper was able to find any target from a long distance, more or less never missing a shot. On the side was a smaller clone soldier, in which he was using one of the droids turrets against them.
"Let me guess, 'Tech'? Due to how he's good with technology and has a bigger brain than most clones."
Quackers figuring out from how unlike the rest of the troopers, he was sticking to the sidelines and using the enemies weapons against them. It was something he would do, before the others could respond to the duck's explanation. They heard a hardy laughter from the side, which was from a hulking clone trooper who was bashing droids with his bare hands.
"Wrecker. A name which actually represents the clone, along how it increased whenever he trained. But, his intelligence not so much. As well fond of explosives."
Getting the information on this superhuman clone they were observing. To which it was enjoyable to watch, however the last one. Made Rex turn away as Ahsoka could sense his emotions. Which was that of sadness, more or less that he may have had a history with this clone.
"A recently new member, Captain Rex found him during a raid on a Techno clan. They, experimented on the trooper. Made him what most people refer to as a 'cyborg'. Echo, I believe his name was."
Lama telling them of how there was a reason why Rex was acting up to seeing the clone team. In which they saw Echo displaying his own skills, which involved equipping a new weapon on his right arm. Which fired a ionic blast dismantling the droids in his path, all five clones lined up together looking triumphant as well finishing the training.
"Is that all you got?!"
Wreck shouted to the people above them as they could hear the excited behavior that he had within him. More or less that they could see why these clones were different from the others, they enjoyed the fighting.
"Their perfect."
Sparky breaking the moment of silence, seeing how this was the group they could train with. As well get stronger, the others looked at Sparky seeing that whether it was a bad idea or he just said something wrong.
"Sparky. There many other clones that can give you training, but I can sense this team is.."
"Misfits. That's what we are master Kenobi. And right now when comes to battle, it's the unknown that can fight harder than anyone."
The robot dog responding to Obi wan about choosing another group they could work with. However, the dog could see that each clone in the squad had a unique personality. More or less that while they seemed like outcast, he saw in the fight how they acted. Which was something his team needed, to which he wanted to meet the Bad Batch face to face.
Ninety Nine Barracks-Later
With their training done as well of warming up from taking out the droids, the five mutated clones took a breather as well decided to relax within their custom made barracks that the Kaminoan's had made them. As each of them were relaxing, Tech was checking out on his holopad about the recent news about what has happened on Mandalore. Which involved the death of Palpatine and the war on Mandalore.
"It's still staggering of how no one would expect him to be a 'Sith' lord. The calculations of him being the one in charge was around a thousand to one."
Tech checking the numerals along the variables of out of the people in the galaxy who was the Jedi's enemies. Was Palpatine, along that he was killed by another mad man.
"And he was chocked to death by a metal man, bet the Jedi are fuming that their enemy was taken away by that weirdo."
Crosshairs stating that the Sith were the natural enemy of the Jedi, and now he was taken out by a complete stranger. As the defective clones settled, they saw their doors opening which showed Lama. Hunter getting his men up and at attention, the five saluted to the Kaminoan. The creator lowered his hand having them be at ease.
"Clone force ninety nine. As you and the rest of the clones of Kamino had saw, Evil. A rogue element has killed him, and the dog who battled him. Who is now here and requests your assistance."
Lama explaining what the apparent reason for his visit was, along behind his side. Was Sparky, and the rest of the Wild Force along of Ahsoka, who looked at the five clones. More or less that them looking at the Wild Force, in which the five have heard much about the Jedi's personal 'animal' squad. The Kaminoan leaves them for the two teams to speak, in which they were all alone.
"Kitty!"
Wrecker said acting excited as he rushed over to hug Speed seeing how he looked adorable, squeezing the cheetah. Speed felt his bones cracking as he gestured to be let go before he lost a bone in his body.
"Sheesh. Their not kidding, you really are changed."
Speed responding to Wrecker's strength, which felt like Igor. The Bad Batch looked at them with cautious eyes about the Wild Force, more or less like if they were looking at their own versions of themselves.
"Ahsoka, do you sense something off?"
Zena asking her of how while it might be strange seeing different clones, rather than looking at their physical appearance and forms. There was a presence, five of them standing against the other five. Ahsoka thought they were looking at their personal versions of themselves.
"No. It feels, like we're in the same room. With the same people."
The Jedi muttered as she stared at them, along of Sparky and Hunter. They seemed similar in many aspects, both being trackers on the battlefield. Having a crew of special soldiers and friends by their sides, it was just how their species were. Beast and Clones, the two looked at Ahsoka in which she would have to explain the situation.
"Sargant Hunter, this may be odd but. We need to train, and the training that we require can't be from normal clones. It has to be from you."
She asked Hunter and the others which made them rather confused, seeing how that from what they've heard about the Wild Force. They were unpredictable, they caused trouble for Separatists and took down Grievous. As well heard how they landed on Coruscant by a bright light from the sky.
"Really? I thought the Jedi masters could teach them, seeing that unlike the rest of the galaxy. You have powers."
Crosshairs stating that while the Jedi were unique, they could train the animals like them. However, it was different. To which Tech slaps his arm as it sounded rather rude since nobody has ever asked them for assistance quite like this.
"What he means is, why us? There a lot of clones that have done many more missions and had field time. We usually handle missions that revolve demolition and black ops. We don't team up that often."
Tech being the more reasonable one of the group seeing that the room felt rather off of how the two teams were looking at each other. Not knowing how the situation was going down, seeing that this was new for them. Quackers, nodded of how the moment was unexpected.
"It's weird, but right now Evil has struck a rather fatal blow to the entire galaxy. No one knows who to trust, and normal methods of fighting won't help. So we need a edge, a really unpredictable edge."
Explaining that the battle on Mandalore affected everyone, as he pulled out a holo device showing several records of planets unable to trust the Republic. More or less the Separatists due to how he was in league with Dooku. The whole galaxy was split done the middle with no one to know who to go for help. Hunter, looked at Sparky seeing how this was his choice.
"And that edge needs to come from someone who thinks different, someone before we came. And I'm not doing this for the republic, I'm doing this for the people. Cause I couldn't focus, and I need to make it up for it."
Sparky stating that while they were going help out with the Republic, he wanted to do this for the people he was endangering for not stopping Evil. As well the mistake of having this happen. Hunter, walked over seeing the truth through his white eyes. Along that while he was a machine, he was being honest. However, he looked at why Ahsoka was here.
"Also, she's with us. So. I wanted to give her some help as well."
Adding that part as Ahsoka walked to Sparky's side in which Hunter took a moment to realize on how they were together. Hunter, could see if whatever was going on with them didn't bother the Jedi. Then this had to be important.
"Well. You gotta convince the creators, they don't exactly feel 'sure' on a outside group working with us."
Informing Sparky that while he could work with them, they would need to convince the Jedi masters along the Kaminoan's of working with each other. Echo, who had remained silent during the conversation walked to Hunter and Sparky as he had a suggestion for the team training.
"Before joining ninety nine, I was on the domino squad. We'd always show our superiors on how much action we've done, as well the cooperation we did when we battle the clankers."
Remembering that when he and his old team were together, instead of words they would use action. Though that would be a problem due to how both teams were reckless in their own manner. Ash, breathed in as he had a idea. In which he didn't believe he was suggesting, opening his ribcage and trying to find something. The others noticed the hell rabbit doing a rather strange act.
"Shinken ni?"
Kizaemon asking in Japanese of what Ash might be doing, pulling out a DVD. The others didn't understand what it as, more or less that Tech took a look at the sight. Which looked like rather old technology and not understanding it.
"If we're going show these guys that cloned thousands of perfect men. Let's give them a taste of something different, with a bit of humor."
Ash speaking out as Sparky walked over curious about what the disc was, in which he checked the words on it. Soon enough, his tail begun to wag left to right in a excited like motion. Seeing that whatever Ash's plan was, it made him excited more or less had the dog grow a smile upon his face. Seeing this was the way to convince the scientists and Jedi that having the two teams train together, but they'd have to watch something in order to convince them.
In the council room
The two Jedi as well several hologram Jedi's were speaking with the Kaminoan's on this strange coalition, due to how no Jedi had ever done a different type of training. Due to how it would jeopardize Ahsoka's training, more or less have the padawans take a lesson from this.
"I believe in learning new ways to fight the enemy. But changing Ahsoka's training is not the Jedi way."
Mace stating in holographic form of how he was opposed to this choice, seeing that it was the Wild Force who wanted this. Ahsoka should have no part in this, Anakin. Looked at the Jedi master on the defensive side for Ahsoka.
"Master Windu, when I became her master I was cautious of her. But she's not a child, she's becoming a woman that. We need to recognize, more or less that in the beginning. I was told about being the chosen one, to end the Sith. But Evil, the same man that came from another galaxy. Killed Sidious on a planet that battled the Old Republic. If something like that can happen, then we're not so controlled by destiny. So if Ahsoka wants to do this, I'm allowing it."
Being straight forward to the Jedi master on how they claimed not so long ago, he was suppose to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force. So far he doesn't know if it was true to what he had just witnessed, so if that could happen. Then letting Ahsoka, who had survived countless of battles and that of the scolding of him and the other Jedi's of the council. She's gotten older, more or less wiser to where she should make her own choices.
"For a time, what we've focused on was the enemy that was in front of us. Not knowing of what was behind, to which we need to look around all sides. And accept that, we need to adapt."
Plo Koon in favoring of Skywalker's decision in letting Ahsoka having this training as well since he was the one that found her back on Shili. In which she had great potential in her, which could be grown to something incredible. As the Jedi's talked, on of Lama's people had gotten a message about the clone batch requesting their audience.
"Gentlemen? I believe we might get a demonstration to see if the young woman would offer herself in clone training."
Speaking out to them as they opened up the porch behind them. Having the holograms position to the floors below where they had a training room set up to see a clone troop graduate. Soon enough, they noticed that of the doors opening up. Along a rhythmic like marching, which they soon see both the Wild force and Bad Batch.
"Slept late. Slept late! Feels great. Feels great! Wine and women. Wine and Women! All gone. All gone!"
Sparky apparently singing, as well the others repeating in which they were all marching in line. As well holding that of standard blaster rifles, in which the masters and clone creators watching the display.
"Oh, my god. Oh, my god! Spare time. Spare time! All gone. All gone! Party guy. Party guy! Bye bye. Bye bye!"
Continuing to speaking out, though as Rex came to see the sight. He noticed that this wasn't singing, it was cadence. A military method of making their voices stronger, more or less get them amped up for battle. He smiled at how it had been a while since he's seen one during the war.
"All night! All night! Got tight. Got tight! Felt good. Felt good! Real nice. Real nice! Real good. Real good!"
Shouting out loud for the others to see it, in which Hunter look towards his men. As they still didn't know if this could work, nodding his head he looked to Sparky. As they were ready, using their fingers to count down. They begun to move.
"Boom Shakalaka. Boom Shakalaka! Boom Shakalaka! Boom!"
Crying out as well aligned together in a row of three people. Placing their rifles on right side, they looked focus as well looking up to Lama as well the Jedi. Obi Wan, was curious of how it had been a hour since they were with the Bad Batch.
"Where have you been, Sparky?"
He asked Sparky since he was guided to them, though he noticed the look on his face. As if he was acting like a soldier, in which he looked up to the Jedi as well the holographic Jedi masters having a answer.
"Training, sir!"
Sparky responded with a loud response to him as well the others shouting the same thing. The clone creators looked curious of how the Bad Batch were going along with this, as it wasn't often for them to be with another group. Rex, wanted to ask them since they were acting like soldiers. Lama allowed this letting the captain ask them.
"What kind of training, dog?"
"Army training, sir!"
Sparky announced to the captain in which from the eyes he was showing the clone, along the others looking to him. It was training, but not clone training. Hunter, looking to Sparky seeing how it was his turn to show them what they had learned a hour ago while the others talked amongst themselves.
"Let's show the Jedi something different boys. Right shoulder, ho!"
Speaking to his squad as they followed in formation, raising up their rifles along of the Wild Force doing the same. They watched at how the two groups were acting like a clone squad.
"Order, ho!"
Telling them as the group placed their rifles back on the right side, to which they kept a serious face when they did the move. Along focusing on one thing, getting better.
"Side step right! Why did the chicken cross the road? To get from the left to the right!"
They sang as well tapping the side of the bud of their riffle to the ground while moving right, each of them moving together. They soon stop as well handled their rifles with control, stopping at the motion they stood back in position.
"He stepped out of rank. Got hit by a tank! He ain't no chicken no more! Left flank, left!"
Sparky shouting as they moved to the left, while tapping on their rifles. Doing a jump, they soon turned to the left doing the same gun handling and turning back to them. Marching their feet, they put their rifle at rest
"Amidala salute!"
He announced as the two groups kicked their rifles up, in which they spun their rifles a couple of times in a circular motion. They moved into two lanes while spinning their rifles, to which they put at rest. In which Ahsoka walked up with a serious face, while holding a rifle in her arms as she closed her eyes while holding it up in position.
"Razzle dazzle!"
Hunter shouting as Ahsoka soon used her instinct to spin the blaster. Everyone saw how she spin the rifle, as well not using her eyes. What was shocking was how she wasn't the force, it was training that they did. Moving fluidly with the rifle she stopped and dropped it from behind her, catching it behind her back. She got back into position, in which she hurled the rifle up in the air. Flying in the air, she placed her hand out. As she caught the rifle in her hand. The others march by her side as well getting in line.
"Hut, two, three, four! The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, sir!"
Announcing as they soon stopped and standing still, as the cadence was finished. The Jedi masters as well Kaminoan's looked rather stunned by the performance, more or less that they didn't miss a step. Lama, was curious of how they learned how to do this.
"Where did you learn this training Hunter?"
"Earth training, sir!"
The clone Sargent responding of how it was Sparky's team that help them learn this performance, along of Ahsoka who was able to do her rifle spin. In which most of the Jedi masters didn't know whether to applaud or feel upset with Ahsoka being a part of this.
"Padawan Tano, am I to understand you trained in one hour with the clones and animals. To learn this?"
Mace asking her directly in which she didn't look to her master or either Sparky for assurance about the training. Her eyes looked straight forward at him not showing any hesitation.
"That's the fact, Jack!"
She shouted sounding like a clone trooper as the others responded the same way, Mace raised a eyebrow to her. While for Yoda, who watched this himself found it impressive. Seeing how that she was becoming something more than a Padawan.
"Stronger, she's becoming. Other methods, could be possible. Watch this we will, to see what will happen."
The green Jedi telling both Lama and the others seeing how he agreed with this training. On the ground was the others who smiled at them agreeing with training side by side. Which meant once they were fully ready, both teams could go out and hunt down Evil, as well stop him from causing any more disasters.
"The Cadence used in this was from 'Stripes' and belongs to the rightful owners. Comment down below to see what happens next. Stay tune!"
