_Chapter 4_
As Omega succumbs to sleep, Crosshair watches her small form on his chest, shielded by his hand. He, firstly, was confused about this whole situation. Like, what could have caused this. Tech better have some sort of idea. Secondly, Cross felt a lingering pain in his chest, though he would never admit it aloud. The way Omega looked at him was nearly enough to make him almost start tearing up. Again, something he would never admit. And thirdly, He was scared for Omega. Was this permanent? What would her life be like? Would she be living in constant fear? The questions continued, but he pushed them to the back of his mind. Right now he needs to focus on Omega.
As he gazes down at her, he feels a sudden wave of wonder. She was small, very small, maybe roughly 4 inches? She looked physically ok, no bruises or cuts or mangled limbs. Every breath was miniscule, nearly impossible to spot, unless you had Crosshair's vision. And her small twitches and the rise and fall of her chest were barely felt. It was crazy to him that this was happening, but what would you expect with their familyâs track record, and seamless bad luck? But, no matter what, he was going to ensure that she was safe and that she was not alone.
_Time skip_
Slowly, Omegaâs mind stirs awake, taking in the telltale sounds of hushed whispers from who she can only assume are her brothers. Momentarily stretching her limbs out, she pushes her blanket off as she sits up, rubbing at her eyes to wake up. As she looks around, she stiffens. Breath caught in her throat as she looked upon the living room.
It's bigger than it should be, As the walls stretch out far, and the couch, which she realizes she is sitting on, spans out far across her vision. Yesterdayâs events play in her head as she remembers, she is small, impossibly small. Cautiously, she backs up, trying to take in her surroundings as best as she can. Until her back meets a plush surface. She turns her head, spotting Lula, but she is huge, looming over Omega. Omega feels sick, this should NOT be happening, itâs just not possible. But it is, and she is possibly stuck like this. How is she gonna confront her brothers?! They are HUGE to her, just thinking about how they are able to take up her entire view sends a shiver down her spin.
Taking a minute, she stays seated, leaning against Lula. In all honesty, itâs kinda cool to see the world from this perspective, everything feels the same but also different altogether. And she notices things that otherwise would have been overlooked without a second thought. She rubs her hand against one of the many stitch works that decorate Lula. Everything is so much more detailed up close. It wouldnât hurt to get up and try to explore a bit, just need to find a safe way down. Getting up, she walks towards the edge and cautiously looks over. Itâs steep, a drop this high could be fatal. Stepping back, she walks to the pillows that rest on the middle cushion of the couch.
Just as her hand reaches out to feel the fringes of a pillow, a voice pipes up from the kitchen. âIâma go check on âMega.â she startles, facing the kitchen, she can pick up on the sounds of heavy footsteps coming her way. She needs to hide, but where!? Frantically looking around, she can only spot two options; make a run for Lula, or slip to the other side of the pile of pillows and hide in the makeshift corner. The latter seems like a better option, so pillows it is. Running to hide on the other side of the pillows, she tucks her body into the corner made by the pillows and the couch cushion.
The heavy footfalls reach the other end of the couch, presumably where she woke up at. âWait⌠Where'd sheâŚâ Who she guesses is Wrecker, speaks aloud. Kark! Is he gonna start looking for her!? She shimmies further into the makeshift hiding spot. She doesnât know what to do. She isnât ready to face them. Not now. She knows that they would never even think of hurting her. But, just their difference in height makes her feel uneasy.
The silence is cut off when Wrecker's footsteps retreat , she can only guess, to the kitchen. Hearing distressed voices of her vod in the kitchen. Not a moment later, what she can only compare to an earthquake, enters the living room.
Hunter darts into the room, followed by the others. Wrecker's statement of Omega not being on the couch worried them greatly. What if she was stuck? Or what if she was hurt, or lost? They couldnât risk anything happening, now more than ever. Walking in, they each scanned the room for any signs of her, she couldnât have gone far. Hearing her brothers searching through the room sent a surge of panic up her body. She was DEFINITELY not ready to face them. The memories of being caught by Crosshair played in her mind, a shiver ran down her spine. The thought of being held again was nerve racking. Lost in thought, she didnât hear the others stop their search.
The beeping of her comm going off brought her back to reality. âOsik!â she curses, forgetting that she still wore it on her wrist. But she quiets down at the realization of her ever growing predicament. Hunter has incredible hearing. Hunter is in the same room as her. Hunter can hear her. Hand covering her mouth, she prays that he didnât pick up on her voice. She canât do this, she canât.
After what felt like forever, the pillows carefully shifted. Omega, startled by the movement, makes to dart to the end of the couch, but her leg is stuck. Itâs wedged deep in between the cushions. Desperately she tugs and pulls her leg, putting all of her strength into it. Kark, she needs to run! She is a sitting duck!
âNo no no no no no no!â She repeats, frantically trying to get her leg to budge. But nothing seems to work. In her haze of panic, she doesnât notice that the pillows have been completely removed for a bit, revealing her frantic, small form to her brothers. Whom watch with mixed expressions, ranging from pity, to deep concern at her struggle. Hunter stands the closest, pillows in hand, followed by Wrecker. Wrecker takes a careful step towards the distressed girl, kneeling down slowly to see her better.
The feeling of HUGE fingers on her leg scares the Kark out of her, to put it simply. She yelps as they move her leg from between the cushions with ease. Showing off the obvious difference in power. As the leg is freed, Omega instinctively turns her body as much as she can and lands a kick to one of the oversized digits. Was she thinking? No. Was it probably a smart idea to kick at someone much larger than herself? Probably not.
The fingers let go and she falls backwards. Looking up, she catches Wreckers' hurt expression. Immediately, she feels great shame. Sure, nothing she can physically do could hurt him. But she just kicked him when he was only trying to help her. Fear and regret swirl in her mind as she looks upon the giant man. She canât stop the tears from welling up in her eyes.
âWr-Wrecker⌠I-Iâ She starts but fails to finish as tears trail down her cheek. She hates this, being afraid when she shouldnât. These are her vod for crying out loud. Sure, they can be a bit rough and serious at times. But she loves them, and they love her. This primal fear of, not them specifically, but of their size was really starting to get on her nerves. If she can survive Tantiss TWICE, then she shouldnât be having problems with being this small in the presence of her brothers! Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she takes a deep breath in.
The sight of Wreckers looming hand outstretched towards her nearly startles her, but she holds her ground. Instead of focusing on the obvious size difference, she tries to remind herself that this Wrecker. The Wrecker that would take her to get Mantell mix after a mission, the Wrecker that would lift her onto her shoulders and run around as she laughed, the Wrecker that showed his love for others with his bear hugs. He may be large, but he is anything but dangerous. Well, to her at least.
Tentatively, his hand reaches her, thumb resting the side of her face as the rest of his digits cup behind her, lightly touching. His thumb cautiously rubs her cheek, the movement miniscule to him. His hand radiates warmth, just being close to it helps to stave off some of the chill. She craves comfort more than anything right now. Oh, how she would kill for one of his bear hugs. But she will have to make do for now, so she does the closest thing. She latches onto his thumb in a makeshift hug. Her arms barely able to reach all the way around, but she doesnât care.
His hand stiffens, surprised by her sudden hug. But he quickly relaxes and reciprocates, his hold snug. Her quiet sobs donât go unnoticed. As her grasp on his thumb tightens, his brows knit together.
âHey, hey, shhh⌠Itâs aâok âmega, yer safe.â he whispers as softly as can muster, not wanting to scare more than he already has. â... can⌠can I pick ya up?â He musters to ask as he gazes upon his shaken sister. Who looks back up at him with wide eyes.
Considering his offer, she takes a moment to steel herself before nodding. As Wrecker slowly cups her in a single hand, she holds on tightly to his thumb. Even with how slow Wrecker moves, she still gets a pit feeling in her stomach as he stands up to his full height. Now level with his shoulders she gets a better read of the room. Remembering that they aren't alone. Spotting her brothers scattered across the room, staring at her, slightly startles her. But she is quick to push it aside. Again, these are her brothers! No need to be scared of them. Hunter stands a few feet from Wrecker, face stern but soft. His eyes search her for what she can only guess is possible injuries. Leaning against a couch arm, behind Hunter, is Tech, who keeps looking at his datapad with the occasional typing and back up at her. And Cross is nowhere to be seen, which confuses her.
Hunter is the one to break the shared silence. âOmega? You ok?... Howâd-â He steps forward, getting closer to the girls. The sudden movement makes her stiffen. But, Hunter stops mid step, not moving any closer. The look in his eyes screams heartbreak. Realizing her mistake, she wills herself to relax and bite down her fear.
âIâm.., Iâm ok, Hunter, I'm fine.â She states, not missing the way his shoulders relax. âI⌠I donât know what happened, how⌠THIS happened. Iâm justâŚâ Omega continues as she gestures to herself, latching onto her much needed confidence. âIâm just so- and, and everything is so-.... Whatâs gonna happen?â Her question wavers in the air, Keeping her eyes on her Hunter, hopeful for an answer. Her brothers share a look, a silent conversation.
âWe will figure this out, Miss Omega. one way or another.â
Rat with extreme levels of anxiety and existential dread.

Hunter heard a shout. It was so small even he almost missed it. But it made him stop in his tracks.
âOmega?â he was spinning in place, looking for the source of the faint voice he heard. Heâd recognize his little sisterâs anywhere. Suddenly he saw a tiny figure standing on one of the rocks right by the sea. He got closer. Once he was close enough, he couldnât believe his eyes.
His little- well, older- sister, was looking up at him from the rock she was on, at about 9 centimeters tall. She was as big as his hand. He was standing there looking down at her in disbelief for what seemed like forever. He didnât even know where to begin asking questions. But it was broken when one of the bigger waves splashed on the rock she was standing on and his dad instinct kicked in; as soon as Omega turned around to look at what was rushing towards her, she was whisked away as Hunter grabbed her in his hands, so fast her breath was taken away from her. He held her close to his chest as the wave crashed on the rock. She could feel him breathing heavily. He was holding her quite tightly, but too tight she couldnât breathe.
âHunt-â
âOmega! What is this, what happened to you? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is going out without telling me?â He was holding her up to his face, all of her field of vision was just him. She began panicking. Before he could get an answer, he felt though his fingers that her breath increase in speed as tears started streaming down her face. Hunter was taken aback. This took him back to the time on Cutâs farm. He remembered what he told him. He felt a little guilty then.
âI donât know!... I didnât even know when I fell asleep, but I woke up like this. Hunter⌠please I⌠I donât know what to do I-â she began sobbing uncontrollably and Hunter was left there in shock, holding a tiny person I his hands.he just stared. What can he do? He turned to look at the sea, hearing the sea birds start circling them. He feared they might grab at her so he began sprinting up towards the Marauder at the top of the mountain.
Hunter passed by the people of Pabu without giving them a second glance, hugging Omega to his chest. He didnât want to cause a scene by someone seeing a tiny person, so he held her tight and covered her with his whole hands.
Omega felt a drop in her stomach when Hunter took off without warning, and that was enough to break her out of the panic attack. She heard Hunter brushing against people as he ran up the mountain, and she felt him slowly beginning breathing heavier even through his armor. She could do nothing but wait and endure the bumps and uneven surface she was sitting on. She was surrounded by him, his fingers curling around her as his palm was used as a seat. Only sun beams came through, and she wasnât able to see much but her brotherâs giant digits. That thought made her heart drop to her stomach again. How was she so small he could actually hold her in his hands? She was the height of his waist just a few hours ago and she wasnât even done growing. How could this have happened? So many questions and none were answerable.
Before long, Hunter arrived at the top of the mountain that contains the little town of Pabu and ran up the shipâs stairs. He placed Omega carefully on the dashboard before falling into the nearest chair he could find. Omega was frozen in place, watching every movement of his. Even though he was further away now, he was still so⌠huge. She could feel the subtle vibrations in the ship after every step he took, not to mention the earthquake that was him falling in the chair. But when his gaze fell on her again, that was something else. She gulped. She knew she didnât need to fear him. He was Hunter, her big little brother. He always took care of her and saved her every time she was in danger. But now⌠just the absolute sheer size of him gave her pause. She felt helpless, thinking about just how easily he whisked her off of her feet back on the beach.
She saw his expression change. After he caught his breath, his eyes became softer yet held some concern in them. But he said nothing. He just observed her.
On his end, however, all he could see was his terrified little girl from the time they came to rescue her for the first time on Kamino. Nothing actually changed much in the way he saw her. He was merely confused as to how this could have happened. In all his time as a soldier he has never encountered such a peculiar situation. He didnât know what to do, how to comfort her. It seemed like anything that he might do might scare her, and the last thing he wanted in the world was for her to be scared of him. And she was staring at him with those big eyes of hers, like a deer in headlights. It hurt him to see her like this. He just had to do something about it, but what?
âOmegaâŚâ He whispered, his voice giving way to no emotion. Her eyes bounced and fixated on his face. He leaned in, but she cowered away instinctively, and he froze. âDonât be afraid.â He persisted and drew closer. Omega didnât move. Her heart told her to run, but her head knew she didnât need to. Hunter came close enough to touch her, and he slowly brushed his fingers around her face. She could see worry in his face; his eyebrows pressed together above his nose. He was examining her so carefully and touching her face so gently she barely even felt it. And when his fingers came into contact with her skin, she felt the need to just hold them right there. His touch was comforting. She leaned in closer and closed her eyes, using her entire arms to keep him from moving. He smiled and his face softened.
âI should contact the rest of the batch.â He exhaled. How they would give them the news was beyond him, but they should know, nevertheless. He slowly pulled away and walked over to his helmet and put it on. Clicking on the button near his ear, turning on the comms.
â99, anyone copy?â
âCopy,â Echoâs voice came on first, almost immediately after Hunter made the call.
âWe have a situation.â
Soon, everyone else answered, and he urged them to come back to the ship for a meeting, something urgent. Wrecker groaned, as usual, having been in the middle of something, but he came, nonetheless. They all gathered in the hanger minutes later, looking at Hunter expectantly.
âWell, what is it?â Wrecker asked impatiently. None of the men in the batch seemed to have noticed their tiny sister on the dashboard.
âSomething weird happened. I donât know yet what caused it, but Omegaâs⌠well,â he glanced over at her, and everyone followed his gaze.
âWhat the-â as if right on queue they all just gasped. Even Tech showed surprise on his face. Omega felt like she wanted the earth to just swallow her whole. Wrecker stomped over, his face suddenly taking on the entirety of her field of vision.
âTHATâs Omega?â He exclaimed and made Omega cover her ears. That was too much for her.
âWrecker, be gentleâŚâ Hunter shoved him away as he mumbled an apology. He then scooped her up and held her to their eye level as she cowered. Being cornered like that in front of four giant men made her feel so exposed. A frightening thought popped into her head- they could literally do whatever they wanted with her, like a doll. Hunter held her up like. Trophy, and she had nowhere to hide. For the. First tie ever, she was scared of her brothers.
Echo, shaking off his shock, was the first to notice.
âHunter, let her have some space, come on.â He gently took her from Hunterâs hands and placed her back on the dashboard. Hunter felt a pinch of guilt in his heart. He never meant to put her on the spot like that. âAre you okay? what happened?â Echo lowered himself to her eye level, so she wonât have to strain her neck looking up at him. Omega was still cowering. She raised her courage and told them about how she woke up on the beach alone, the size of a commlink, as Hunter was looking for her, and how he saved her from the giant wave that threatened to drown her, how he ran up the entire mountain to get her to the safety of their starship. At the end of her story, sheâd left Echo pondering.
âAnd you donât know what made you like this? You canât recall anything, can you?â
âNo, sorryâŚâ
âItâs okay, weâll figure it out.â Echo turned around to the rest of his brothers. âSo, what do we do now?â
âWeâve got to figure out what got Omega into this state. Echo, Tech, you two go don to the beach and search it for anything out of the ordinary. Wrecker, you go get something to eat. Iâll stay here with Omega.â Hunter took the lead as usual, and everyone nodded and went off to their tasks. Echo glanced back at Omega with a reassuring smile before leaving
FINALLY! (Click for better quality, looks better up close)
after several days of working on this piece, I have finished! Helped freshen up on some of my art skills and such.
So, ya'll may be wondering as to who in the kark this girl is? Welp, do ya'll remember my pieces of my clone trooper Shrike? This is Shrike, they are the one and the same. Now bear with me, I know that some may think that is stupid and doesn't make sense. So I will be explaining that in a sec. I have been waiting to go into detail about Shrike's background and info till I have their face design, and such, done. So now is the time to get into what is my cringe worthy thoughts of my clone trooper Sonna. HORRAY!
(take note that these are at risk of change)
Background:
A long while back, the Kaminoans were doing a series of tests to perfect their decommissioning tactics. Using the cloning material of REDACTED, they cloned a total of 666 test subjects.
They were not given increased aging as that was still in the works
Each subject was killed off, one by one, till they got to the youngest of them, EDC-666. At that point, the kaminoans had just about lost interest and the last clone was left to rot, forgotten, in a crypto pod.
Fastforward to about 9-10 years before the start of the clone wars, A kaminoan assistant happened upon the forgotten clone. Bringing up their finding to the head scientists, it was decided after much heated debate that the random subject would be used for a side training experiment.
Thus, EDC-666 became ECT-666.
Training:
It was decided that ECT-666 would be trained in assassination and black ops training.
Most of their weapon training specialized with melee weapons for quieter executions.
ECT-666's favoritism of longer blades and throwing knives did not go unnoticed.
Due to their small size, they exceled at stealth and hiding.
As a result of ECT-666's obvious difference in appearance to the other clones, they were trained separately, and not permitted to be seen by anyone else but the kaminoans and the trainers.
A good portion of their usual trainers showed disgust towards ECT-666. Many interactions left them with bruises or at worst a broken bone or two.
This led to ECT-666 having to learn to see to their own wounds, in fear of the Kaminoans seeing them as a damaged product.
In addition, a chunk of ECT-666's training followed the ARC-trooper programs. So, they were unofficially, partially trained as an arc.
Physical Apperance:
At the start of the clone wars, ECT-666 is roughly 15 years of age, standing at exactly 5'0.
They are of female origin, are naturally blond, with blue-green eyes (Hazel?).
Receives during their time in the war several scars; one traces across their right eye and nose, an acid burn scar on the left cheek that resulted in lack of said cheek, spiderweb like scars on their right arm from blacking and explosion, and various other small scars here and there. A singular scar runs around their left shoulder, was a result of a training session that went too far.
Mental State:
Unknown to the Kaminoans, ECT-666 has some of the memories of the other clones like them from the decommissioning tests. Most of said memories were of their deaths and the harsh treatments they received. They most come from nightmares and when they get a sense of deja vu. ECT-666 has no idea as to why, but they don't let it slip.
Due to the collective trauma; of watching clones being decommissioned, grueling training, and somehow having a vast number of the memories of the other clones of REDACTED. ECT-666 suffers from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and stress.
ECT-666 most likely has ADHD that they inherited from their template. Additionally, they are semi on the autistic scale.
Has zero self-restraint to jump headfirst into danger.
There will be more to come soon, so keep your eyes out for it! â¤ď¸đ
Saw that quite a bit of people liked my last ROTTMNT post, so here is another one that I did (also from a while ago). Enjoy fellow rats! Tutter out! đâ¤ď¸
Another one of my old art pieces, though not as old, of my sonna with Mizu from Blue Eye Samurai. Which is one of my favorite series ever, I only recommend it if you are of proper age! đâ¤ď¸
Personal experiences;
Urgent care: painful swimmers ear infection.
Emergency care: needed X-rays of my head and spine after a car hit me head on. (I'm fine, had no fractures or anything of the sort. Basically I fought a car and won.)
Crosshair: Who's stupid kid is this?
Shrike: .... B*tch! I'm older than you!
(How I think Shrike and Crosshair's first-time meeting would go.) Crosshair reminds me WAY too much of my younger sister, they would be hardcore attitude/sass buddies if they met. Shrike is my self-insert/Sonna in the clone wars/bad batch (and no I will not take any criticism) so they have a bit of sailor mouth. That is, when they actually speak around others. Due to them being vastly different than the other clones (I will go over that later on), they rarely ever use their voice, preferring hand signals or morse code? As their voice is a dead giveaway.
First time drawing Crosshair, I think it looks alright? I'm pretty proud of my attempt of doing a metal like texture. Will upload an updated version tomorrow after I do shade.
life is a pain in the aft, but we must still carry onward.Welcome, fellows rats, to my side of the internet. Where I will post my rambles, art, and possible fics.Enjoy and thank you! â¤ď¸
