The Bad Batch: Book 2

Part 3: Shiny Or Heavy

Luna's POV 

Wrecker: "So where is this palace?" 

He asked as all of us stepped out of our ship. 

Tech: "The city is on the opposite side of the mountain range." 

He, Echo, and Wrecker began to walk. I couldn't get Echo's words out of my mind. He was right. 

Hunter: "Are you coming?" 

I quickly looked at him but I did not meet his eyes. I nodded and began to walk after the others. I was so taught that I didn't even know when we came up the mountain. Stopping ourself on it I looked down to see the broken and abandoned city. The city was so grey that it didn't go well with the blue trees surrounding it. 

Me: "What happened here?" 

Echo: "Imperial oribial bombardent. Same as on Kamino." 

He said as he then continued walking. We soon found the cargo that was already on board the ships. 

Tech: "It appears that they are beginning to transport the war chest off-world. Our window of opportunity is quickly closing." 

He said as he offered his binoculars to Ehco who looked threw them. 

Echo: "There's over 40 troopers down there." 

Wrecker: "That's nothing." 

He said as he smashed his fists together. 

Me: "Stealth, Wrecker. Remember?" 

Wrecker: "Yeah." 

At that moment we saw two ships flying after one cargo ship that was leaving. 

Tech: "Imperial escort ships. The standard protocol for what high-level cargo is being transported." 

Hunter: "Get to the nearest container and grab what you can. I'll be the eyes on the ground. If things go sideways, I'll divert their focus and buy you some time." 

Me: "Be careful." 

He nodded then he walked past us and began to make his way down the hill. We went down a different way. As we got down the hill and we were closer to containers we had to take cover behind the threes, so troopers could not see us. 

Echo: "In position. And the second transport's launching." 

Hunter: "We've got roving patrols. Stay alert." 

Echo: "Let's go." 

The three of us followed him container that was opened and we quickly went in. Wrecker gave us a signal that a trooper was coming so we hid and the moment he came past the doors Wrecker stung him kicking him down. Wrecker quickly grabbed him and then he placed his inside the container behind some stuff. 

Wrecker: "What? I did it quietly." 

He said as he was Tech looking at him. 

Tech: "They will definitely notice when he does not report in." 

Echo: "Well, let's be gone by then." 

Wrecker: "I will keep watch. Start loading up." 

I turned around and my eyes widened in shock. 

Me: "So this is what the war chest looks like?" 

I asked as I saw many different crates in front of me. 

Tech: "This is only a fraction of it, but that is all we need. The priority is items of high value." 

Me: "Okay like what?"
