For a moment, after Rex had asked that question, Senators Mon Mothma and Bail Organa would ponder this for a moment, before Bail turned to Rex. “We’ve been thinking about this for a while, but since there are still Clones serving the Empire, you could turn them against the Emperor if you join us.” 

Rex then saw a hologram being projected from the holotable standing between Bail and Mon Mothma, seeing a station floating above what appeared to be a city, with Star Destroyers currently being constructed around it. “What’s with the hologram?”

Mon Mothma looked at the hologram. “Ah, yes. We’ve received word from some of our spies that the Empire is currently building Star Destroyers above the planet Zaun in the Mid Rim. That shipyard is our next target. However, if you want to lead the siege, you’ll need some help.”

Suddenly, the doors behind Bail opened and out stepped Clone Force 99, also known as The Bad Batch, leaving Rex completely shocked. First, he saw Crosshair aiding the 501st with Delta Squad on Crait and now, he was seeing the entire Bad Batch for the first time in years. Thirteen years have passed since their last meeting and now, he was seeing them again. They hadn’t aged a day since they last met Rex. “Hunter? You and the boys are relying on that anti-aging serum too?”

Hunter smirked at Rex. “Well, yeah. Me and the boys stole that serum after the last time we met. Judging by how young you seem, I assume that’s what’s been keeping you young, Rex.” Rex turned to Mon Mothma, as the Bad Batch began analyzing the hologram of the Star Destroyer construction yard. “So, we’re going to destroy that shipyard?”

Mon Mothma shakes Rex’s hand. “Welcome to the Rebellion, Captain.” After that meeting, Rex and Clone Force 99 walked out of the Onderon Rebel base and towards their ship, the Havoc Marauder, before they left Onderon and jumped into Hyperspace, setting course for the planet Zaun in the Mid Rim.

While they were travelling to Zaun, Rex would tell the entire story of where he was the last time they met to now, including how he briefly saw Crosshair on Crait when he and Klask fought Vader. “Wow. That’s a pretty crazy story, Rex. I can’t believe Crosshair’s still alive after all these years. It must be that serum that keeps him and any other Clone that serves the Empire as young as they were during the war…”

Echo then turned to Rex and the rest of the Bad Batch from inside the cockpit of the Havoc Marauder. “We’re coming up on Zaun. Any ideas on how we’re gonna destroy that Star Destroyer construction yard?” Everyone in the room, including Rex, simply shrugged their shoulders, having no idea how they were gonna destroy that shipyard, until Tech chimed into the conversation. “If the holographic display of that construction yard back on Onderon is correct, there is a cannon near the edge of a hole that leads to the Zaun Undercity that fires it’s natural resources towards the sky, where they are sucked into the station through a tractor beam, as well as with the help of the vacuum of space. We could commandeer the cannon and fire whatever is inside towards the reactor of the shipyard, if aimed correctly and efficiently. Of course, we’d have to reach the cannon first.”

The Havoc Marauder then jumped out of Hyperspace, as Rex saw a planet with a dark green atmosphere and grey clouds that had Star Destroyers and the Star Destroyer construction yard orbiting the atmosphere. “We’re near the station. Turn the Marauder’s cloaking systems on and fly towards the cannon. The cavalry has arrived.” Hunter said, as Echo and Tech turned the cloaking systems and began flying towards Zaun’s atmosphere, preparing to take control of that cannon on the surface.
