Defective But Effectivel (a Cadet Batch Series)

Defective but effectivel (a cadet batch series)

Introductions:

Clone trooper 99 knew he would never be a soldier like his brothers, that much would be obvious. 99 had made his peace with that a long time ago, however there was one thing he yearned for.

By this time the other Alphas had begun training other cadets. 17 had recently taken five young cadets Wolffe, Fox, Bly, Ponds and Cody, Fordo had also taken his own squad consisting of cadets Gree, Neyo, Baccara, Jet and Doom.

While 99 was happy for his brothers, he still couldn't help but wish he had his own cadets to train, even if he could never fight for the Republic knowing he had inspired other troopers would make him happy.

What he didn't know however was that one day his wish would be granted.

He was about to head to his barracks when Nala Se arrived.

"CT-9900 I trust you are well." Nala Se said.

"Yes mistress." 99 nodded.

"Good, follow me I have something I must show you." Nala Se said.

99 just nodded and followed.

They arrived at the lab and went inside.

99 saw a small figure with blond hair in the corner, Nala Se's medical assistant Omega.

He waved at the girl who gave a shy wave in return.

99 smiled then went over to six small cribs which Nala Se was standing next to.

99 looked inside and saw six small cadets, the numbers read CT-9901, CT-9902, CT-9903, CT-9904, CT-9905 and CT-9907.

"There was originally intended to be seven, however I'm afraid CT-9906 did not survive." Nala Se said, although 99 could see she didn't care.

Instead he focused on the cadets.

01 and 02 were asleep, out of the entire batch these two seemed the most like regular cadets, 03 was the largest of the batch, he also seemed the most energetic of the batch, looking around the lab with intense curiosity, 04 was also awake but seemed bothered by the lights, squinting and covering his, 05 was looking at him with a sense of curiosity similar to 03, however 99 noticed 05's eyes weren't the same brown as the other clones, instead his eyes were a dark blue, 07 was the smallest and easily the youngest of the group, he was studying 99 with a curious eye, though 99 noticed a sense of caution within him as he tried to determine what he was looking at.

"These will be your cadets to mentor, they have all been genetically enhanced, CT-9901 has been modified with the ability to access computers and other mechanisms through cybernetic implants implanted within him, CT-9902 has been enhanced to have heightened sense, CT-9903 has been modified to have enhanced strength and muscle growth, CT-9904 has been granted enhanced eyesight allowing him to see from further distances than other clones, CT-9905 has been modified with the ability of force sensitivity and CT-9907 has been modified with enhanced intelligence, once they are fully grown they are to be known as clone force 99." Nala Se.

99 looked at the cadets...his brothers.

"I promise I will look after you boys, you will be the greatest soldiers in all of the Republic." 99 said.

Schedule:

Crosshair: *watching Omega leave* honestly, that girl trying to rope me into breaking out of here, even if I could, my schedule wouldn't allow it

*he sat down*

Crosshair: *ticking off his fingers* 4 o'clock wallow in self pity, 4:30 stare into the abyss, 5 o'clock solve galaxy hunger...tell no one, 5:30 taunt the guards, 6:30 dinner with me...I can't cancel that again, 7 o'clock wrestle with my self loathing...I'm booked

*he had an idea*

Crosshair: Although if I move the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness

Goggles:

The story of how Tech got his goggles:

The batch woke up as useful one morning, but as he woke up Tech noticed his eyes seemed to have trouble adjusting.

Rubbing his eyes his vision evantually cleared although longer than it usually took.

Getting up and changing his clothes his vision still felt slightly blurred.

"Tech, is everything alright?" Crosshair asked coming over.

"Yes Crosshair, why do you ask?" Tech asked.

"Your shirt is on back to front." Crosshair said holding back a grin.

Tech saw and blushed in embarrassment.

"Ah, so it is." He said.

Crosshair quickly helped him fix his shirt and the two ran off to join the others for breakfast.

"You sure you're alright?" Crosshair asked as the two got into the mess and went to grab some food.

"Yes I'm fine, must have simply been waking up." Tech said.

Crosshair nodded although he wasn't fully convinced.

Throughout the day Tech struggled with his regular training exercises, for some reason his eyes just couldn't seem to focus on what he was doing, his vision continuously becoming blurred which was irritating when he was in the middle of a task and he suddenly couldn't see what he was doing, having to constantly rub his eyes to adjust his vision was annoying.

That night Tech grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom to change.

"Tech!" A voice yelled.

Tech quickly rubbed his eyes and saw Cobalt in front of him wearing just his pajama shirt and underwear, his pajama bottoms were on his hand and he was clearly in the middle of changing.

"Sorry Cobalt." Tech squeaked embarrassed and quickly left the bathroom.

After getting changed Cobalt left the bathroom and went over to Tech.

"What was that about, didn't you see me go in?" Cobalt asked irritated and embarrassed, but mostly confused.

"No, I'm sorry Cobalt." Tech said looking at his big brother embarrassed.

"It's fine, but are you sure you're okay, you've been struggling all day, Cross said you were even struggling to get dressed this morning?" Cobalt asked.

"I'm sure I'm fine, must just be a bad day." Tech said.

"If you're sure." Cobalt nodded, not fully convinced.

Over the next couple of days Tech continued having problems with his eyes, his vision seemed to flicker in and out of focus.

The other batchers told 99 about this who soon had his own suspicions on what was happening.

"Tech, do you need glasses?" 99 asked one night as he tucked Tech into bed.

"What do you mean bluir?" Tech asked confused.

"The others told me what's been going on these last couple of days, I think you might need them to help your eyes." 99 said.

Tech thought about this for a moment before humming in agreement.

"I think that may be the most logical conclusion." Tech nodded.

"Right, I'll see what I can do, goodnight Vodi'ka." 99 said tucking Tech into the blankets.

"Goodnight bluir." Tech yawned before succumbing to the pull of sleep.

The next morning Tech groggily woke up although he quickly forgot his exhaustion when he saw something sitting on the small table next to his bunk.

To his surprise they were a pair of goggles, much like ones he had seen some of the other scientists wear.

Putting them on Tech was surprised to find his vision was clearer than it been in days.

"How are they Vodika?" 99 asked from where he was standing in the doorway.

"They're great...thank you bluir." Tech said going over to 99 and giving him one of his very rare hugs.

"Its okay Vodi'ka, anytime." 99 said smiling and patting Tech's head gently.

99's boys:

It had now been several weeks since 99 had taken the six young cadets under his wing and it hadn't taken him long to grow attached to them.

In his time as their guardian he had quickly grown to understand their very different personalities.

The twins 01 and 02 now named Spectre and Hunter were both fiercly loyal to their squad and were both very protective of their younger siblings, 99 knew both were destined to be the commanding officers of the squad so this made sense. The two were also attached at the hip, it was rare to see one without the other.

03 nicknamed Wrecker for his immense strength was the most boisterous of the batch, his energy unmatched by any of the other kids, his own squad could barely keep up with him. While academically he wasn't the smartest of the squad, socially he was miles ahead of the others, often acting as a mouthpiece for them on multiple occasions.

04, named Crosshair for his exceptional shooting skills was the most difficult to read. He seemed to constantly bottle up his emotions and rarely ever let them out, and he additionally had a tendency to snap at others. However there was no denying his love for his brothers, Crosshair always stood by his squad, always defending them from bullies.

05, named Cobalt for his unique blue eyes was perhaps the most levelheaded of the batch, often serving as the peacekeeper when fights (mostly between Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair) broke out. However he could also be fairly skittish when interacting with others outside of his comfort zone though this varied greatly on who he was talking too.

07 named Tech for his love of technology and his immense smarts was easily the most skittish of the squad. As the youngest and therefore the weakest of the group he was already a target for bullies, but his smarts only ostricised him further. However he was a brave little clone always standing up for himself and his brothers.

................

"99 99!"

99 was roused from his sleep by Wrecker's loud voice, immediately noticing the worry in his brother's tone he turned around.

"Wrecker, Vodi'ka what is it?" 99 asked immediately.

"It's Cobalt, I think he's sick again." Wrecker said.

99 nodded and immediately got up, knowing just how bad the force tests affected the young clone.

The two quickly rushed too the barracks, Wrecker pulling 99 along slightly as they went.

They entered the barracks to find the others crowded around the bunk Cobalt occupied, the group quickly making room for the older clone.

Cobalt was curled up in a ball on his bunk looking as pale as death, both hands clutching his stomach and his whole face was glistening with sweat.

99 felt his heart ache as the young clone looked up at him looking ready to cry.

"Bluir...I don't feel good." Cobalt whined, curling up on himself slightly more.

99 felt his younger brother's forehead wincing at how hot it was...he was burning up fast.

"What's wrong Vodi'ka?" 99 asked wincing slightly at how stupid the question sounded.

"It hurts." Cobalt whimpered a few tears now leaking out his eyes.

"What hurts vod?" 99 asked as he stroked his brother's damp hair trying to comfort him as little as he could.

"My head and tummy." Cobalt whined pitifully fighting off waves of oncoming nausea.

99 nodded and turned to Crosshair and Tech.

''Crosshair get the migraine meds from my cabinet and a glass of water, Tech fill up a compressor with cold water." 99 instructed.

The two nodded dutifully and ran off to carry out their task.

"Everything's gonna be okay Cobalt." 99 said.

Cobalt nodded and was about to reply when suddenly he grew even paler and darted out of 99's grip and into the refresher where he began throwing up harshly into the toilet.

Without a moment's hesitation Spectre was kneeling beside Cobalt gently rubbing circles on the younger clones' back as he retched.

"That's it Cobalt, just get it all out." Sprecte said drawing circles on his younger brother's back with his finger.

Leaving Cobalt in Spectre's care for the time being 99, Hunter and Wrecker straightened out Cobalt's bed and soon after they finished Crosshair and Tech returned with the items 99 had requested.

By this time Cobalt has finished retching and was slumped against Spectre who cradled the young clone in his arms as though he was still an infant.

"Cmon, let's get you back in bed." Spretce said leading his sick younger brother back to his bunk and helping him lie down, Hunter putting a bucket next to Cobalt's bed in case he was sick again.

99 held out the medicine for Cobalt who grimaced and stubbornly turned his head away.

"Come on Cobalt, you need to take this if you want to get better." 99 said.

Cobalt just shook his head.

"It tastes horrible." Cobalt grumbled.

"Cmon Cobby please, for me." Wrecker said giving his little brother his best puppy eyes.

Cobalt looked at his closest brother and glared, but he couldn't say no to those eyes.

"Fine." Cobalt muttered before letting 99 give him the medicine, quickly washing the taste down with the water.

Wrecker just smiled knowing his little brother's bad mood was caused by the sickness.

Getting an idea he went over to his bunk where his tooka plush Lula rested.

Picking her up and going back over to Cobalt's bunk he placed her in his little brother's arms.

"You're giving me Lula?" Cobalt asked incredulously looking at Wrecker.

"Yeah, she's not feeling too well either, so I thought you guys could help each other get better." Wrecker said.

Cobalt beamed up at Wrecker squeezing the plush slightly in his arms.

"Thanks Wrecks." Cobalt mumured yawning and closing his eyes.

99 placed the compress on Cobalt's head trying to help him cool down.

"Just rest Vodi'ka, you'll be feeling better before you know it." 99 said.

The only awnser 99 got was Cobalt's soft snores, confirming the younger clone was now fast asleep.

One by one the others returned to their own bunks but not before checking that Cobalt was truly okay.

99 watched the others drift off one by one and smiled.

Yes, 99 couldn't have asked for a better group of brothers.
