"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are about five minutes out of arriving at our destination. I suggest you get to your ships, buckle in and get ready for the wild ride. Oh and a contact of mine will be meeting you at the given coordinates down near the turbulent waters. Don't ask questions, just say the rat sent you, he will understand. I just want to say, thank you for using Mrux's airlines. Please find your seats as we are about to be landing soon. Crux out" 

All of them couldn't help but chuckle at the bounty hunter's speech. Wrecker smiled that he truly had one of a kind nephew. The two groups were quick to separate to their ships with Jesse and Rex helping the half awake medic to their own. Cody could only smile waving at the batch. Hera's group had been on the ship while the four clones had been in the cargo hold with the batch. It was a tight squeeze but they all managed to make it onto the ship. 

While the bad batch dealt with the uncomfortable silence. Hunter sighed in the cockpit, Omega patted his shoulder. The signal came through making both Hera and Tech fly their ship towards the given coordinates.

"Can I make one thing clear?" Hunter spoke in his sergeant voice. All attention was on him. Tech was multitasking.

"I know we are not on the greatest of terms but we do not make this affect our mission. So for now we deal with the mission then we deal with everything later. Am I clear?" His sergeant's voice made them all nod well, most of them did. Crosshair only raised an eyebrow, Hunter opted to ignore the marksman who gave him the cold shoulder. Crosshair moved over to his own crate and removed something out of it. He pulled out another commlink which would help later on. He helped Ashton and Honey suit up and gave them a knife each. The two were smiling at the symbols on their knives. Ashton's had a bird on while Honeys had an arrow symbol. They didn't mind knowing Archer had picked them. Crosshair smirked, accepting their hugs. 

He then pulled out his blade that was attached to his inner forearm. It was a last line defence. Hunter hated it but Crosshair couldn't care less. Crosshair wasn't in the mood. He had only used it a few times in the past but he knew he needed it for this mission. 

"Coming up on the coordinates. Everyone get ready" Tech called out, Echo nodded moving into the cockpit to hand over the ear piece to Crosshair who took it with a grimace. It was one of the only ways for him to communicate since he was unable to talk. Crosshair was busy refixing the filter on his helmet when he found himself turning to his kids.

"Dad, what if we get separated?" Honey's worried voice had the older marksman kneeling down in front of his daughter. Ashton looked over from where he was double-checking his ammo. 

'If it comes to that, I can assure you. I will find you both. I will not stop until I find you. The two of you are important to me, even if I turn my back on the rest of them. It's because I love the two of you. If something happens, I will personally send my demon guard after the two of you. Remember this: three shots of blue is: help. Three shots of red is: warning. The green setting on your guns is: Emergency. Shoot and I will see them' Crosshair signed bringing his daughter into his arms and doing the same with Ashton who smiled.

When the rest of the batch entered the body they couldn't help but smile. Crosshair stood with Ashton and Honey on either side of him, they all had their weapons and armour on. The kids had custom made armour matching Crosshairs, except they had a streak of purple and blue entwined lines down the inside of their legs. It was a symbol of hope and it was also the colours they were first introduced to. Honey loved blue and Ashton loved purple. 

"You ready?" Hunter asked, only to receive three nods. The sergeant sighed helping Omega with her helmet. No matter her age, she always allowed him to help. Together the batch left the Havok Marauder only to gasp. It was a mazed jungle with howlings of creatures echoing around them. Rex, Cody, Kix, Jesse, Hera and Kanan stood waiting for the batch.
