You slumped back against the ship’s wall in exhaustion, you’d been doing your best to keep Omega occupied and you were both exhausted.

You didn’t even notice when your eyes closed.

“Y/N?” Omega asked and you turned your head.

“I’m just gonna rest my eyes for a bit Omega, don’t- don’t worry about me” You said as you fell asleep. Omega soon joined you, cuddling up to you in exhaustion.

“Well this is a first” Hunter said when he came in to find the two of you cuddled up together.

“Inspecting every corner of the ship finally tired her out” Echo said from beside him.

“Though I don’t think I’ve ever seen Y/N actually sleep” He said humorously.

“There’s a first time for everything I guess” Hunter said before Tech announced you were approaching Selucami.

The exit from hyperspace jostled you awake.

“Are we there already?” You asked as you walked into the cockpit, you saw the colorful planet get ever closer through the window.

“Time seems to pass faster when you’re asleep” Tech said and you smiled sheepishly.

“Sorry about that, I was so worn out after everything” You said as Tech initiated the landing gear.

You walked out with the squad and smiled, stretching your limbs in the warm sunlight.

“Oh how I’ve missed feeling the sun on solid ground” You said happily. You looked back at the ship to find Omega looking in wonder at the scenery around her.

She was ten years old and had never left Kamino so this was her first time feeling the ground beneath her or the rays of the sun on her skin.

“What’s with her?” Wrecker asked and you chuckled.

“It’s her first time on another planet” You told him quietly, allowing Omega the time to immerse herself.

“Come on, let’s get moving” Hunter said after Omega joined the rest of you.

You walked for a while through a nice forest and some farmland before Hunter stopped you all.

“What are we looking at?” Omega asked curiously.

“A booby trap.” Hunter said plainly before Wrecker walked up to it.

“Single trip wire, that’s cute” He said as he stepped over the wire. What he didn’t realize was that there was a sensor after it.

Suddenly a bunch of battle droids popped out around Wrecker and he began shooting and shouting.

“Easy Wrecker!” Hunter told him and the larger man looked embarrassed.

“Was- was that me?” He asked, not yet putting his gun away.

You turned your attention away from him though once you felt two more force signatures approaching.

“What do we have here? More clones who have lost their way” A lavender Twi’lek woman said as she approached with a shotgun blaster.

“It’s been a while fellas” The man beside her said and it took a moment to recognize that he was a clone.

“I’m assuming these are your friends Hunter” You said from beside him and he nodded.

---

Hunter’s friends took you to their home, you all sat down around the table as Suu- the Twi’lek woman- gave you something to drink.

“I see a few new faces” She said as she handed you your cup.

“Echo, Y/N, Omega- Cut and Suu” Hunter introduced and you smiled, nodding towards the both of them.

“Pleased to meet you” Suu said.

“Thank you for your hospitality” You told her in return.

“Where’s Crosshair?” Cut asked Hunter and he looked conflicted, almost guilty.

“It’s complicated” He finally answered.

“Sounds familiar, Rex told us about the clone troopers turning against the Jedi” Cut said and you looked away. You’d hidden your lightsaber under your robes for yours and everyone else’s safety and you knew that most people couldn’t recognize the robes of the jedi medical corp as easily as they could normal Jedi robes. They probably thought you were just another straggler the squad picked up. You were after all wearing a medical coat that covered the natural colored tunic you wore.

“You talked to Rex? When?” Echo asked. That definitely got his attention.

“Oh- he passed through yesterday” Cut told him.

“Where’d he go?” Echo pressed but Cut just shrugged.

“Didn’t ask. He was going on about some behavioral implant” Cut explained and Omega came up beside you.

“He must mean the inhibitor chip” She said.

“What?” Echo asked.

“Inhibitor chips, the Kaminoans implanted them in the clones to modify their behavior to be more perceptive to following orders” You explained and the rest of the squad looked at Tech.

“Tech, you said the regs were programmed but you never mentioned a chip” Hunter said and Tech looked confused.

“How else did you think it worked?” He asked and you sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose.

Just then, almost to ease Tech of any further judgment, two kids that looked to be Human, Twi’lek hybrids, came running in towards Cut and Suu. Wrecker greeted them happily and they ran into his arms, calling him uncle Wrecker. They quickly took off back outside to play, taking Omega with them.

“They look much older than three” You told Suu once her husband and Hunter went outside to watch the children.

“They’re mine from before I met Cut if that’s what you meant” She said and you nodded.

“He’s a clone so I wouldn’t put it past his biological children to age faster and I didn’t want to assume” You told her and she nodded.

“So, you’re some kind of doctor?” She asked and you nodded.

“A healer, I didn’t study medicine in university to earn the title of doctor” You told her and she nodded.

“This is quite the life you have here” You told her and she smiled proudly.

“It’s just us out here, no one to bother us and no one to come snooping around” She said.

“I guess it’s how you’d need it, you can’t risk anyone finding out about Cut” You said and she nodded.

“Do you ever get lonely out here?” You asked and she took a moment to think.

“Sometimes, but the kids keep things lively and we’re happy” She said and you thought back to the temple, and to Kamino. You’d never been on your own before, or even just with such a small group of people. You've lived your life with a greater purpose to achieve and a huge amount of people to surround you but you couldn’t do that anymore. Any life you’d have now had to be more secluded. For your safety as well as for everyone close to you.

---

Cut and Hunter left and came back after failing to get tickets on board a transport off of Selucami.

Apparently the empire wasn’t allowing transportation off world without a chain code- a new way to track people within the galaxy and as a deserter Cut couldn’t get one.

Hunter, Tech, Echo, Wrecker, You, Cut and Suu were all inside trying to plan how to get Cut and his family off world when Shaeeah- Suu’s eldest- ran in.

“Mom! Mom- it’s Omega, she went out past the fence!” Shaeeah said and you all ran out to see what was going on. Suu grabbed her shotgun and ran up to the roof while the rest of you ran to the edge of the fence.

A large creature was walking towards Omega, teeth barred and ready to pounce. You could feel it’s hunger through the force and you slowly walked out past the fence towards it and Omega.

“Nobody move!” You yelled over your shoulder but they didn’t listen to you as Suu shot at the creature. You managed to redirect the shot but it scared it even more.

“Suu don’t shoot!” You yelled at her as you approached the creature, arms out in a calming motion.

You carefully stepped between it and Omega, allowing her to run back to safety.

“Y/N move!” Suu yelled to you but you stayed put.

“Hey, it’s okay buddy” You told the creature softly, pushing feelings of calmness and safety through the force.

“I’m not going to hurt you” You said, allowing it to place it’s snout in your palm.

“And you’re not going to hurt me either” You continued, petting it with your other hand.

“But I need you to leave my friends alone, okay? They won’t bother you again” You told it and it whined a bit before calmly turning around and running into the forest.

“Everything’s okay!” You said, turning back to everyone.

“It won’t bother us again” You explained as you walked back behind the fence.

Cut was comforting Omega, you could feel her insecurities through the force and you decided to send her some comfort as well, though you knew she wouldn’t feel it like you would.

You stood beside the squad as Cut took Omega inside.

“All in all, I would say that could have gone much worse” Tech said and you nodded.

“Could've gone better if you’d listened to me” You grumbled and Echo turned to you.

“How did you do that anyway? It just, let you tell it what to do.” He said and you nodded.

“Animals have a much stronger connection to the force than non force sensitives of most intelligent species, I just used that connection to calm it down. It was picking up on Omega’s fear” You explained.

“It also wanted to eat her” Tech added and you rolled your eyes.

“It’s an animal, they can only follow their base instincts” You pointed out before Hunter changed the topic.

“Tech, do you think you can forge some chain codes?” He asked and tech took a moment to think about it before nodding.

“I only learned of them moments ago, but yes.” He said.

“Then do it. We’re getting Cut, Suu and the kids on that shuttle.” Hunter instructed and Tech and Echo left for the ship.

---

“So, you’re a jedi?” Suu asked you once she found you meditating alone on the roof.

“No. I was with the Jedi Medical Corp, I never made it to the rank of padawan or Jedi Knight.” you explained.

“But I am force sensitive, if that’s what you meant” You said, echoing her own response from earlier.

“And yet you are traveling with a group of clones” She pointed out and you nodded.

“They helped me get off of Kamino and allowed me to travel with them, I won’t hold them accountable for what others like them did” You said, looking out at the horizon.

“Is that why you asked me earlier, if it ever gets lonely living so far from others?” She asked and you looked down at your lap.

“Since we left Kamino I’ve known it’s only a matter of time before I have to find somewhere to hide. As long as I’m around people I’m putting them in danger” You said, pulling your lightsaber out of your coat.

“But when I saw how happy you were, well maybe I don’t have to be completely alone” You said.

“The difficult part is finding someone who understands you, settling down is the easy part” She said and you smiled.

“Tech is going to forge chain codes for you and your family, we’ll help you get off of this planet” You told her and she nodded.

“Thank you” She said and you turned to her.

“No Suu, thank you. I can feel your passion, your love in the force around you. It’s rare to find someone so good” You said before standing up.

“The galaxy needs more people like you, good people.”

---

Suu lent you a cloak and you, Hunter, Wrecker, Cut, her and the kids made the journey into town to receive the chain codes from tech and Echo.

Everything seemed to be going good.

“The chain codes are en route with Omega” Tech reported through Hunter’s comm.

“By herself? You let her go by herself?” Hunter questioned Tech.

“Well I didn’t let her go-” Tech tried to explain but Wrecker gave the crate he was carrying to Cut and ran off to help Omega anyways.

“She ran off on her own” He explained.

“If something happens to her-” Hunter began but Suu cut him off.

“Like I said, kids always find trouble” She said, putting a comforting hand on Hunter.

“Wrecker’ll find her Hunter, she’ll be fine” You told him.

You heard blaster fire before you saw it. Cut was about to do something drastic before Omega came up to you running.

“I’m here! I have the chain codes” She whisper yelled, handing them to Cut.

“Tech accidentally made five disks instead of four” She explained.

You looked at Hunter confused, Tech wouldn’t make a mistake like that.

“I’m going to wait for you by the impound facility” You told Hunter as you made your way towards the sound of blaster fire.

You weren’t the best fighter but you could navigate your way around a blaster and it seemed like the boys needed some help.

You vaulted over the wall and landed on a trooper.

“Nice going Y/N!” Wrecker said and you smiled, running behind cover next to him.

“I’m a bit rusty, I haven’t been in a fire fight since before the war” You said, grabbing a blaster from the ground and shooting.

You set your blaster to stun, you really didn’t want to hurt anyone.

Hunter joined you soon after, grabbing a blaster and taking cover beside Tech.

“What are we waiting for?” Hunter asked Echo, who was trying to unclamp the ship from the impound facility so you all could leave.

“The system’s not responding” He explained and Wrecker went over to try to force the system to respond.

“There are too many of them, we need to move” You said, over the sound of blaster fire.

Wrecker managed to force the clamp open and Hunter signaled for you all to board the ship.

You ran on board and helped Tech with the launch sequences.

Hunter and Wrecker covered your escape and you were surprised to see that Omega had come back as well.

“I’m glad she’s back” You said to no one in particular after Omega left the cockpit to talk to Hunter.

You settled into your seat and closed your eyes.

“Wake me up if something important happens, I’m gonna get some rest” You said, closing your eyes and you heard Echo laughing.

“You got it Doc” He said and you decided not to correct him regarding the title.

Defective (Echo x Jedi!Reader)

Chapter 1: Escape From Kamino

Summery: The troopers of Clone Force 99 run into an unexpected jedi as they try to escape Kamino amid the rise of the empire. (Based on The Bad Batch season one.)

Warnings: Order 66

Word Count: 1.7k

This is crosposted on AO3 but I thought I might as well post it here too.

Next Chapter

Main Masterlist

Your breath hitched as you felt it, lives being snuffed out all over the galaxy but this was different to the natural flow of life and death. Thousands of connections to the force were being cut, and Jedi were dying on a massive scale.

The force was brewing with betrayal and fear and you could feel it in your body.

You felt eyes on you as you turned around to find two clones standing behind you.

"How can I-" Your question stuck in your throat as you noticed their blasters pointed at you.

"Good soldiers follow orders" They said as they aimed and fired at you. You barely managed to avoid the shots as you stepped back.

"What are you doing?" You asked as they continued to fire. You reached for the lightsaber on your hip, you barely used it, for the last three years it merely served as a visible reminder of a Jedi presence on Kamino. You'd never been more thankful to have it.

You easily deflected their shots, continuing backwards.

"Troopers! What are you doing?!" You questioned.

"We have orders to execute order 66." One of them said and aimed to take another shot. You sliced his blaster through the barrel.

"I don't know what that means but I can't let you do that" You said, using the force to knock him back into a wall as you ran past his brother.

"They're on the run! We need reinforcements to sector 31" The clone said into his comm as you ran through the corridors. when you made it into an empty corridor you jumped into the vents.

"They're gone. Sweep every corridor. Find them." A clone said from under you and you did your best to stay silent. You had to get off this planet.

You watched through a small crack in the vents as they loaded Shaak Ti's body onto a transport. She was the only other Jedi on this force forsaken planet. You had to get out before it was your body they'll be loading off next.

You couldn't think how this could happen. You'd spent the last three years serving as an ambassador from the Jedi medical corp on Kamino, you've helped treat and raise practically every clone on Kamino. You'd given some of them their names.

You've operated on them, tested them, aided them in any way you could, so how could they suddenly turn on you? On all of the jedi?

---

You'd been hiding in the vents for two days. You were tired on account of barely being able to sleep. Hungry, thirsty and every kind of cramped and uncomfortable.

You'd moved around the vents, staying in the same place could mean you'd get caught.

Your most recent location was in the vents over the brigg. It was always empty, they were more for theoretical scenarios than real ones. Until today at least because now Clone Force 99 was being held right below you and you were terrified. You had no idea why they were being held but with Hunter's senses you had a much higher chance of being found and with added security on account of there being actual prisoners you couldn't move much.

They forced a panel open and you slowly scooted closer to that side of the vent when a mop of blonde hair almost collided with you.

"Y/N?" Omega asked and you shushed her.

"Keep your voice down. They're looking for me" You told the girl quietly. You'd worked quite closely with her during your time on Kamino and you liked her quite a bit. She- like you- wasn't like what she was supposed to be and you liked her positive childlike views.

"You've been in the vents this whole time?" Omega asked and you nodded.

"The clones have standing orders to kill the Jedi" You whispered and she looked at you strangely.

"I Thought you said the service corps weren't Jedi" She whispered back and you shook your head.

"It was Jedi enough to get me shot at" You told her. She was the first person you'd spoken to since order 66. You'd missed not being alone.

You heard talking below you and felt distrust and suspicion through the force.

“I think the guards may be onto your little trick” You told Omega as she crawled.

“I need to get down there” She said and you nodded.

“Pound down on the vent entrance under you, it should drop you right over the guards” You told her and she looked at you, disappointment in her eyes.

“You’re not gonna help?” She asked and you looked away from her.

“I’d only be getting you into more trouble” You told her but she shook her head.

“We’re leaving Kamino. We’ll take you with us” She said. You looked at her hopefully, nodding.

“In that case, you take out the ray shield, I’ll take out anyone that tries to stop you” You told her and she nodded, breaking through the vent cover and toppling the clone guards under her. You jumped down from the hole she’d created in the shaft, landing soundlessly on the ground.

A clone guard tried to grab Omega but you grabbed him by the back of his chest piece and slung him into a wall, knocking him out like his brothers.

Tech stunned another clone with his brother’s blaster once Omega took down the ray shield and they all crowded around you and Omega.

“What are you doing here?” Wrecker asked as you straightened out your robes for the first time since you’d escaped the clones.

“I was hiding, they tried to kill me” You said, looking at them cautiously.

“Are you going to do the same?” You asked them, you hoped not. Omega said they could be your ticket off of Kamino but you couldn’t be too careful at the moment.

Hunter shook his head. “No. But if you’re here you can help us find Crosshair to leave.” Hunter said and you nodded.

“Alright, let’s move” He said and you all turned into the corridor.

---

You all snuck into the hangar where they’d moved all of the squad’s stuff. You examined your lightsaber while the boys suited up.

“I’ve never seen you use your lightsaber” Omega said from next to you and you nodded.

“I used it for the first time in three years today. Besides training that is” You told her. You didn’t like that you had to use it but it’s not like you hurt anyone with it and these were dire circumstances.

“Tech, power up the ship. The rest of us will go after Crosshair” Hunter said and Tech nodded.

“I should stay with Tech then” You said. “I’m afraid I won’t be much help” You told Hunter and he nodded.

“Alright” He said and you boarded the ship with Tech.

Just as you entered the safety of the ship, a squad of clone troopers along with Crosshair walked into the hangar.

You could feel the surprise and hurt radiating off the rest of the bad batch through the force. Almost worse, you could cut the tension in the hangar with a butter knife. Soon the first shot was fired and blaster bolts began flying.

You helped Tech begin the preflight sequences as fast as you could and a part of you whispered that you would be able to help more by deflecting shots outside. You had a weapon that nobody out there could fight against after all, but you knew better. You weren’t nearly good enough in lightsaber combat to help and you’d only cause them to call for backup.

Once Tech got the ship fired up, you carefully snuck down to the hull. You did your best to shift any blaster bolts aimed for Omega away with the force while she made her run to the ship. When she was close enough you just pulled her towards you with it.

“They have the Jedi with them” You heard Crosshair say to his men and you knew you all had to get out of here before reinforcements came.

Hunter and Echo dragged an injured Wrecker onto the ship just in time and Tech took off, getting you all as far away from Kamino as you hoped you could get.

“Echo, get me the med kit” You told him once Wrecker was settled.

“I wanna take a look at that blaster shot” You explained, looking at the singe marks on Wrecker’s armor.

“Is it really that bad?” He asked but you shook your head.

“No, but It’s still better to take care of it now” You told him as you scanned his shoulder. He was just fine. You force healed him to simplify the matter and quicken the recovery time but after that he was fine.

Echo pulled Wrecker up to lean on him for some support and you joined them in the cockpit.

“-I guess I just got lucky” Omega said, though about what you weren’t sure. She had been talking to Hunter in the cockpit.

“She’s not the only one” Tech said and Wrecker whined.

“I’m fine, it’ll take more than a blaster shot to take me down” He said and Echo looked at him unimpressed.

“You were down” He reminded his brother and Wrecker got defensive.

“Yeah well not for long” He said before wincing.

“I healed the muscle, it’ll still be painful for a bit, big guy. Nerves tend to hold grudges” You explained, taking a seat on one of the chairs nearby.

“So, what’s the plan Hunter?” Tech asked and you all looked at him.

“I thought we could go off on our own, lay low. But with Crosshair gunning for us- I’m not so sure” He said and Tech turned to you.

“Y/N, what about you?” He asked and you looked down at your hands.

“There aren’t many places I can go. I definitely can’t return to the temple” You said before looking up at Hunter.

“I could stay with you guys if it’s okay with you. I’m sure you could use a healer with your record” You said, trying to keep the mood light.

“What about your friends?” Omega asked and Tech turned back to the window.

“That would be a short list.” He said.

“I could think of one. Plot a course for J19” Hunter instructed.

“J19?” Echo asked.

“We know a guy” Hunter said and Wrecker looked stoked.
