I’ll be back, and I’ll be able to protect all of you. “You’ll be ok, and I’ll be back,” he promised his vod’ika as he hugged him goodbye. They both knew the grief of being the last of their batchmates. Tup was sadder than the rest he was leaving, having grown closer to Fives after Umbara.
Jesse nodded, and stood a little straighter. Take care of them, he told his vod with his eyes. I’m sure that includes drinking his water and eating his ration packs.” Jesse elbowed Kix and gave Fives a friendly grin.įives put a hand on Jesse’s shoulder. We all know Fives is going to be the best, wherever he’s going. ‘You had better take care of yourself,” Kix threatened, with a hint of a smile. But Rex told him he could say goodbye, at least. He wished he could tell his brothers where he was going, despite the secrecy surrounding the project. (Fives wondered if he had been stronger and faster, could he have saved Echo?)Ī few weeks later, Rex got confirmation that Fives had been accepted as a candidate. Fives was certain that if the man hadn’t been a Jedi, had been some random Republic official, they would have stopped listening to him a long time ago. But there’s no one I’d trust more for this.”įives imagined what it would have been like if they had someone who had agency, who had the strength to stand up to Krell. “ Vod’ika, I don’t want to send you away. Cody said only the best could even apply, and I’d put my non-existent credits on you any day, Fives.” Fives sat up a little. It’s not something run by the Kaminoans, or I’d never.” Fives felt Rex swallow hard. Someone who could have stood up to Krell when he decided it would be fun to slaughter them. Something that could enhance any clone, almost to the level of a Jedi.”įives wished they had someone like that. But that didn't make Fives need Rex any less, so he still leaned into his ori'vod. It wasn’t fair how much they relied on him. Rex was always there to help his brothers, but who was there to help Rex? Rex came and sat next to him, put an arm around Fives. The doors opened, to his surprise, and he held up his hand against the light that hurt his eyes after sitting in the dark for so long. They’d been forced to send Dogma away, and the whole 501st knew they would likely never see him again. The way he'd seen his own horror reflected their faces, in their eyes. Fives wasn’t sure he would ever be able to get that out of his nightmares.
So many were not coming back, and battles were never fair, but this one was so much worse. But now, away from sight, he cried and cried. Out there, so much had been battered, betrayed, and broken, and he wanted to share his strength with everyone who could use it. Kix would be holed up in the medbay, Jesse would be finding something, anything to do.įives took off his helmet and slumped against the wall. ← Previous Work Part 6 of The Shadow Twins (Dogma and Tup) Next Work →Īgent_ontario's fic recs Stats: Published: Completed: Words: 32440 Chapters: 21/21 Comments: 219 Kudos: 161 Bookmarks: 31 Hits: 2168įives used his credentials to sneak into the quarters where Kix and Jesse and Hardcase slept.
