The Bad Batch: Book 2

Part 5: Roger

Luna's POV 

Hearing Tech grunt in pain I quickly pushed myself on my feet and together with Echo, I approached him. A big mental box was on top of Tech's leg. Quickly both Echo and I took hold of the box and pulled it off Tech's leg.  Tech never showed pain but I could hear by the way he was breathing that he was in a lot of pain. 

Me: "How much does it hurt Tech?" 

Tech: "My left femur has been fractured by approximately 150 kilograms of pressure...so there is pain." 

He said as Echo helped him up. Because he was in pain he was standing on only one leg as Echo was his support. At that moment we moved a little again. 

Echo: "Hang tight. I'll go up top and scope things out." 

I quickly stepped around so I could take Echo's position as support for Tech. Placing his hand around my shoulder I looked at Echo who quickly began to climb towards the doors. As he came to the doors he claimed out. 

Me: "Echo? What do you see?" 

I asked as I pressed my comm button.

Echo: "We still haven't landed. Luna come up here. I will need your help." 

Me: "Okay." 

I helped Tech sit on the box and then I began to climb. Coming outside the wind blew threw my hair. My hair covered my eyes but as I removed them with my hand my eyes winded in shock. We were in deep trouble. The container was hanging above the cliff. 

Me: "Okay so what's your plan?" 

Echo: "We will use this rope to pull Tech up." 

He said as he sowed the rope in his hand. As he threw the rope down to Tech he told him to tie it around him and as we claimed on top of the wall we both began to pull. Slowly and carefully. Soon I saw the antenna on top of Tech's helmet so I quickly ran up to him and after taking a hold of him I pulled him up. 

Tech: "Well, this mission has been eventful." 

He said as Echo and I helped him on his feet. 

Echo: "We have to get out of sight." 

Me: "What about the war chest?" 

Echo: "We don't have time. We need to get away from here and find cover." 

He began to lead Tech towards the forest and I followed them. I hope Wrecker and Hunter are right. 

Hunter's POV 

Me: "Get down!" 

I said as I heard the shuttle approaching. Wrecker and hide under broken parts. We did that just in time before the two shuttles flew above us. They were flying low and I knew that they were about to land. As they passed us I began to follow them with Wrecker behind me. As I expected they landed not that far away from us. 

Wrecker: "They're setting up a perimeter. Like that'll stop us." 

Me: "They know our forces are split. They'll monitor comm channels." 

I said as I looked back at him. 

Luna's POV  

With my blaster ready I was walking in front of Echo who was supporting Tech. 

Voice: "Havo-2. The fourth sun is setting. Plan Double Zero." 

Tech: "Copy that." 

Me: "What is plan Double Zero?" 

I asked as I stopped so I could look back at them.
