Hello, everyone. This prompt was suggested by The Generic Ficer. ENjoy.
Omega was 18 years old and was a grown woman. The batch were growing older and were very proud of Omega. They had continued to go on missions together and Omega learned and grew. This mission however, was much like the one that they had been on many years before.
WHile escaping onto the ship, Omega fell down a mountain.
"NO!" Hunter exclaimed. Crosshair grabbed him and pulled him into the ship. Omega finally landed, but was surprisingly ok. She looked up and saw that the Marauder was heavily damaged and they were being chased by the Empire. She heard running and saw that she was surrounded by stormtroopers.
"We have to rescue her. Omega, what's your position?" Hunter stated.
"It doesn't matter. You won't be able to save me. I'll find my own way out. Get out of here, now." Omega replied.
"Negative. We're coming for you."
"Your chances of escaping are slim. We've almost lost shields." Tech warned.
"Tech, go. That's an order." Omega stated.
"No. We have to help her." Hunter exclaimed.
"Hunter, we won't be able to help her if we're dead." Fives warned. "We'll come back. We'll find her."
"Crosshair?" Omega wondered.
"I'm here, kid." Crosshair replied.
"Get them out of here. I'll be fine. That's an order, Crosshair."
With a flip of a button, Crosshair was in charge of the ship. Omega watched as he led the batch out of the atmosphere and into space. The ship entered hyperspace and Omega was alone.
"NO!" Hunter exclaimed. Echo and Wrecker, who had remained silent, looked at each other sadly.
On the planet, Omega was already being taken into the shuttle. She closed her eyes and prayed that her brothers would be safe.
The batch arrived back at base and saw Rex waiting.
"Where's the kid?" Rex questioned.
"She was taken. We have to go find her as soon as our ship is repaired." Hunter answered.
"I'm afraid that will not be possible. We have another critical mission for you. Omega will have to wait." The admiral stated.
"My sister is being held by the Empire. Until she is found, my brothers and I will be searching for her. Get someone else."
"I will not allow you to go rogue. Either you will continue on your next assignment or I will have you all arrested."
"What are we? Just a bunch of people you think you can control? We won't stay. We don't need your help or your money. IF we have to, we'll leave for good." Fives sneered.
"Then you leave me no choice." The admiral stated. "Rex, arrest them."
"No. I won't, Admiral. I have lost too many brothers because we didn't go back for them when we could. I won't lose my sister too." Rex replied. "You can try to arrest us, but we'll only escape. Let them fix their ship and go find their sister. If you don't, they'll be no good to anyone."
"They have 1 rotation. If they're still here, I will arrest them."
The admiral walked away and Rex walked over to Echo.
"What happened?" Rex questioned.
"It was Daro all over again. But this time, we left Omega behind." Echo sighed.
"We'll need a lot of parts. We may not even have some on the base." Tech stated.
"SO, what are you saying, Tech? That we should just leave Omega to suffer in the hands of the EMpire?" Wrecker yelled.
"No, what I am saying is that we may not be able to use the Marauder. Stop putting words in my mouth. I want to rescue Omega too, but we won't be able to rescue her if we're dead."
"I'm sorry, Tech. I'm just worried."
"DId it not occur to you that I also worry for Omega? You all act as if I don't have feelings. Like I am just a machine, but I'm not. I miss her too."
Crosshair watched everyone with a look of pain written on his face.
Omega sat in a cell quietly. She had just been questioned to the brink of exhaustion, but now that she was alone, she couldn't sleep. She imagined what each of her brothers would do if they were there. Wrecker would be pacing up and down waiting for the word to smash anything and everything. Crosshair would be sitting quietly resting. Echo would be using his arc trooper training to figure a way out and Tech would be helping him. Fives would be watching his brothers closely waiting for the chance to offer aid. Hunter would… Then Omega realized what she could do. Hunter would listen constantly. He would focus on everything around him, so that's what Omega did. She focused hard.
"We'll be arriving on Lothal shortly. I do not understand why we are bringing this prisoner here." An officer said.
"Tarkin wishes to interrogate her himself. He is on Lothal at the moment." ANother officer replied. "What is the situation on the deck below us?"
"The explosives are stable, but we won't be able to repair the hanger till we arrive on Lothal. Until then, that hanger is offline."
Omega huffed.
"Lothal is so far from where we were. They'll never find me here. I'll just have to rescue myself then." Omega whispered. "THink, Omega. How can I save myself?"
Omega had an idea and smiled. She stood up and stood against the wall near the door.
"Please, save me, kind rebel sir." Omega begged. SHe rattled her handcuffs and gasped. "Oh, thank you!"
"Just doing my job." Omega said, mimicking a man's voice.
"And my brothers? Are they here?"
"Yes, ma'am. They're on the upper levels getting ready to take over this ship."
"Then we should join them."
The guards rushed over with the officers and saw that Omega wasn't there. They opened the cell and walked in only for Omega to jump them and knock all of them out. She released her handcuffs and grabbed their comms and one of the officer's uniform. Then she grabbed her gear and started toward the lower level. Remembering Hunter's tracking skills and stealth, she was able to avoid the guards. When she reached the lower level, she remembered how Crosshair trained her to keep alert. She saw the hanger and saw that the shield was disabled. She saw one shuttle and it looked to be in good shape, but it was locked down. She saw the explosives and saw that they were barely stable and were not magnetically held down.
"Hmm, I wonder." Omega whispered. Omega examined the explosives carefully and smiled. Grabbing whatever wires and parts she could, she armed the explosives. She walked over to the shuttle and started it up. When she did, an alarm went off. Omega cursed and watched as the hanger doors attempted to close, but couldn't.
"There she is! Freeze!" A stormtrooper exclaimed. Omega fired her blaster, shooting the troopers as they approached. The shuttle struggled to start up and Omega huffed. After kicking a panel, it started up and the door closed. Omega got in the pilot seat and saw that the shields of the shuttle were fully operational and so was the hyperdrive. Omega watched as the troopers attempted to stop her.
"See you later, boys." Omega huffed as she flew out. When she was at a safe distance, she set off the explosives and watched as the ship exploded. She punched in a location and soon was well into hyperspace.
AT the base, Rex had his hands full dealing with the batch.
"Look, I'm trying my best." HUnter exclaimed.
"Yes, well your best isn't good enough." Tech replied.
"Fine, do it yourself. I'll go check our weapons."
"Wrecker did that 5 times."
"Boys, cut the arguing." Rex stated as he kicked the boys who were under the ship.
"We should never have left her." Wrecker huffed as he paced the hanger.
"Yeah, well, take that up with him. He took us away from her." E cho spat as he looked at Crosshair.
"She gave an order and she knew I would be the only one to listen." Crosshair sneered.
"You never did like her."
Crosshair grabbed Echo and punched him in the face. Echo punched him back and the two started fighting.
"Hey, get off each other!" Fives ordered. "Hunter, come deal with your twin."
Fives and Hunter pulled Echo and Crosshair apart.
"I care about the kid as much as you do." Crosshair sneered.
"You sure have a funny way of showing it." Echo yelled.
"Stow it, both of you! Crosshair did what Omega ordered him to do. Crosshair was the only one level headed in that situation. Omega knew that. She knew that Crosshair knew how to detach himself, but he never hated her." Hunter explained.
"I was level headed too, you know." Echo spat. "But no one asked for my opinion."
"But it wasn't you Omega told to leave. It was me and if she dies, I will have to live with that." Crosshair hissed. "Not you."
Crosshair walked out of the hanger and Echo walked to the ship. Fives and Hunter looked at each other.
"We're all just worried about Omega. We'll… be better when we get out of here and start looking for her." Hunter sighed.
"I've been looking already. They're not back on that planet. They're gone. It'll take us a while to find her." Fives replied.
"We'll find her. We'll rescue her."
"She may have to rescue herself."
"Shuttle inbound. Security report to the upper east hanger." A woman said over the intercom. Fives, Rex, and Hunter grabbed their blasters as they watched the shuttle land in their hangar. They raised their blasters and Rex held a hand up to the security team when they arrived. The shuttle door opened and Omega walked out.
"Omega." Hunter gasped. Dropping his blaster, he rushed over and hugged Omega. Then he took a step back and looked at her. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"I'm ok." Omega replied shakily. The rest of the batch rushed over and hugged Omega close. They celebrate Omega coming home and she explained her story. Despite the many aches and bruises, she celebrated with her brothers.
After a while, Hunter felt Omega rest her head on his shoulder and he looked to see that she was fast asleep.
