"Star Wars:" "The Clone Wars Legacy #5 The Bad Batch" "The battles are over but the heroes live on." "Thank you Clone Wars fans!" "The battle for Anaxes." "The home of the Republic shipyards is under attack from Admiral Trench's Separatist forces." "Jedi Generals Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker lead up to a clone attack on the ground and in the air." "But after weeks of heated battle and mounting losses the Republic's grip on Anaxes begins to slip away." "The droids have overrun our main production facility." "It won't be long before the Separatist take Anaxes..." "Pardon the interruption, General." "But Rex here has a good theory on why we keep losing." "Please, Captain." "Well, as you know I've studied our battle lines for sometime." "I developed an algorithm to counter all our tactical tendencies with the hope we could use it to sure up our weeknesses." "Since this battle for Anaxes started the Separatist have always been one step ahead of us." "If I'm right, Admiral Trench has my algorithm." "And he's using it to predict our strategies." "It's just..." "I don't know how he got it." "My data files are heavily encrypted." "Did anyone else know about your work?" "Well, Fives knew but...he's gone." "And then only one other trooper." "Echo." "We lost Echo with the Citadel." "Yes, sir." "I know." "But I also know Echo." "And he could never leave well enough alone." "He used to recheck that algorithm every day." "Just to cut the tension of battle." "Kind of a hobby." "He might have had it on him when he died." "We have to consider what Rex is saying." "It would explain the ease with which Trench's been able to defeat us." "Skywalker and I will hold the line on Anaxes." "I want you to take a small squad of troopers behind enemy lines to infiltrate the Separatist cyber center." "If they have possession of the algorithm, you'll find evidence of it there." "Cody, I'm putting you in charge." "Rex, you're in on this one, too." "Thank you, General." "I have got the perfect squad for this operation." "Clone Force 99." "So why haven't I heard about this squad?" "Experimental unit Clone Force 99." "The defective clones with desirable mutations." "99, eh?" "Nice touch." "They call themselves the "Bad Batch"." "They sure know how to make an entrance." "Cavalry has arrived." "These guys are clones?" "They don't look like clones to me." "Genetic modifications." "They're clones." "But they don't look alike." "Obviously." "Yeah, obviously." "Sergeant, good to see you again!" "You too, sir." "This is Hunter." "Sorry we're late, Commander." "We were putting down an insurrection on Yalbeck Prime when your com came in." "Had a few unforeseen complications." "Have you ever fought a male Yalbeck?" "No." "Can't say I have." "You're lucky." "Only way to kill them is with one of these." "That's right." "Wrecker here cut off the queen's stinger while she was still alive." "That's why all those Yalbeck males tried to eat us." "Technically, they were trying to mate with us." "And for your information the stinger of a Yalbeck queen is a delicacy on some planets." "They call him Tech." "Yeah." "He can fill your head with useless info for hours." "Cross Hair on the other hand is not much of a compensationalist." "But when you have to hit a precise target from ten clicks Cross Hair is your man." "So, Commander, what kind of suicide mission do you have for us this time?" "Let's get going." "We'll brief you on the way." "What are you looking at?" "We don't usually work with "Regs"." ""Regs"?" "He's talking about regular clones." "And don't take it personal." "He just means we don't always follow protocol." "We're all on the same team, so cut the attitude and listen up!" "Here's the mission." "Our target is this cyber center." "It's the brains of the entire Separatist campaign here on Anaxes." "I could demolish that with one hand." "Yeah!" "This isn't a demo-job, Wrecker." "It's strictly a retrieval operation." "Sector One, alert." "Enemy gunship approaching your location." "Come in, Sector One." "Roger, roger." "Fire!" "Incoming fire!" "Going down." "Cody!" "Help!" "He's trapped." "We have to do something." "I'll get him." "Easy, Captain." "Wrecker, get him out!" "Get back!" "This is ridiculous." "He's gonna need help to get Cody out of there." "He's gonna get the gunship out of there." "Not Cody." "He has internal damage." "I can cut the pain." "But he needs help fast." "We all need help." "That blast gave away our position." "I thought getting shot down gave away our position." "Everyone, find cover!" "We'll hold this position and let them come to us." "I don't think so, Captain." "That's not our style." "We prefer going to them." "Bad Batch, plan 82: chop-wave." "Let's get to work." "Blast them!" "Are these guys for real?" "45, mark position one." "45, mark position one." "75, mark 357." "75, mark 357." "What the?" "Fire assault." "And out!" "That was some show you put on just now." "Just doing our job, Captain." "Hey, look, Cross Hair." "This looks just like you." "Grow up, Wrecker." "We should move out before reinforcements arrive." "Our position's been compromised." "We wanted to speak to you directly, sir." "This infiltration is irregular." "Were there Jedi with this squad?" "There is no evidence of Jedi, sir." "Just clones." "But using tactics like we have never seen before." "Interesting." "They're on foot now in the middle of nowhere." "Sweep the area." "Locate these clones... and notify me if the incursion escalates." "So, I get what makes the other batches unique." "But what's so special about Hunter?" "He can put up with the other three." "He was engineered with heighten senses." "A place like the cyber center Hunter can feel the electromagnetic frequencies from anywhere on the planet." "And here I thought we were smart just using a holomap." "Well, maps can be wrong." "Hunter never is." "Hang in there, Cody." "Listen up!" "We have to move out." "Commander Cody is in no position to move." "Already called an evac." "Kix will stay with Cody until it arrives." "I'm in charge now." "And I've got a plan to get into that cyber center." "If your plans are so good why did Commander Cody had to call us in?" "You can't talk to Captain Rex like that." "Says who?" "Put him down!" " Stay out of this." " Watch it!" "Uh, guys, come on." "Wrecker!" "Drop him now." "Fellows, come on." "We're all fighting for the same thing, right?" "Alright then." "Let's cut the chatter and finish what we've started." "We'll do it your way, Captain." "For Commander Cody." "Okay." "Let's gear up and move out." "Not our primary target." "It's an outpost." "Should we take it?" "Probably easier than going around." "Alright, what are your orders?" "We pick them off from the tree line one by one?" "Actually..." "I was thinking we take a page from your book." "Rush them head on." "I like your style." "Get them!" "Hey, you're not our" "Is it over already?" "Aw, man!" "Not bad for a "Reg"." "All right, there it is." "The cyber center." "It looks like the cyber center itself has minimal guards." "About 30 droids." "Wait." "Wait." "I got a massive signal coming in." "A whole platoon of droids has headed this way." "Someone has noticed our handywork back at the crash site." "Yeah." "Make sure you keep an eye on those incoming Separatist forces." "I want to know when they reach this outpost." "You got it, Cap." "We gotta move swiftly." "We'll grab some speeder-bikes and flank them from the back." "You know what's going on?" "Maybe it's another" "Hey!" "Is everyone in position?" "Affirmative." "Affirmative." "Cap, you wanted to know when those Separatist forces reach the outpost." "They're getting there just about now." "Sir, we tracked the clone strike team here." "They seem to have captured this location and deserted it." "I cannot calculate the logic of this assault." "There is no tactical advantage to taking the outpost." "Their target will be the nearby cyber center." "They must know about the algorithm." "Get me in contact with the cyber center at once." "Put all droids on alert." "An attack is coming." "An attack is coming?" "Where" "It looks like the diversions work." "All units to the front door!" "This is a delicate operation." "Boom!" "Haha!" "You think you're long." "We're in." "Tech, get to work on these computers." "We'll go get the "Regs."" "Hey, where did you come" "What took you so long, Wrecker?" "Hey, this is a delicate operation." "Better get in there, Cap." "Okay, I'm in." "What am I looking for?" "Here's the algorithm." "You're looking for a program using this sequence." "Found it." "Strange." "It's not a program." "It's a live signal from an other planet." "Skako Minor." "A live signal?" "Cross Hair, we're gonna need a lift." "Not gonna be a problem." "Here it is." "This is audible." "Patch me in." "I want to hear it." "What is that?" "It sounds almost..." "Almost human." "It can't be." "Uh-oh." "We gotta go." "Now!" "Tech, find out who's sending this." "Ask who that is." "CT-1409." " CT-1409." " I..." "I don't believe it." "We're done." "Rex, let's go." "Rex, now!" "CT-1409." "We have chased the clones out of the center, sir." "They're all retrieving back toward Republic lines." "Did they download anything from the central computer?" "There seems to be no intel missing." "But there appears to have then a connection made with Skako Minor." "What?" "That number, Cap." "What did it mean?" "CT-1409." "That was Echo's number." "That was Echo."
