90. "I can't do this anymore."
Shatter was leaned up against Point and Shockcharge his gaze staring straight through the wall of the room. The sorrow and grief in the air was too much for the three so they had sought each other out for solace. Kix had given them the room goingover
to Jesse's room where the other ARCs would be along with The Bad Batch.
Shatter's mind was chipping away at that very moment as the group of Wolfpack, Ghost Compony, and Torrent Compony members ran from Order 66. The two commanders and captain had dragged as many members as they could away from the Order even saving their
generals.
Well all besides Skywalker. Skywalker had turned on them becoming a sith.
It had been a week since the order had been made and the Empire was formed. A week since the running began. Shatter broke down in a quiet sob his shoulder shaking silently as the tears fell. He could feel Point and Shockcharge wrapped themselvesaroundhim,
his brothers arms comforting but not comforting enough. His emotions all in a twist Shatter leaned into Point trying to muffle his screams of grief. Shockcharge tried to massage his brother's back trying so desperately to calm himdown.
Obi-wan and Plo came through the door with the three commanding officers behind them. The Jedi had been drawn by the sudden burst of emotion that had knocked them both over in the briefing room. Shatter didn't even notice them enter, but Point lookedup
/at them his eyes begging for help as he tried to calm down his brother. Shockcharge glanced up but kept his thoughts trained on trying to calm down the medic.
Shatter shook and flinched when a new set of hands was placed on his hadkneeled down next to the two and had reached out to the medic. Shatter didn't even look Rex in the eyes knowing who it was by the kit. The medic leaned into
hiscaptain trying to calm his breathing. Rex had his hands on the back of Shatter'sneck and on his waist allowing he medic to try and find comfort.
The Jedi left, but Cody and Wolffe had both kneeled down next to the 501st medics and captain. Shatter,Shockcharge, and Point were still rookies to a point only just being put in the field when the chips were discovered. Neither truly wentinto
the field of battle until Fives had fully recovered and had been put back into the field undercover.
"I can't do this anymore," the words were whispered into Rex's shoulder.
Rex looked at Shatter for a moment before bringing him closer. The group of clones were all feeling pain and grief but Shatter had been at the temple when it all hit. What he had seen was too much.
"We're here ner vod. We are all here."
The group sat in silence as their other brothers came into the room. The silent vigil went on for what seemed like hours until finally they were all asleep. Resting for the battles yet to come.
