《Star Wars Imagines》New And Improved - Arc Trooper Echo (Fluff)
Advertisement
I was happy that I was accepted as the Bad Batch's mechanic and medic before Echo had shown up, because the I wouldn't have found my home with them on board the Havoc and met my soulmate, a now pale skinned clone that only had 3/4 of his limbs. I loved him even if he was half droid.
Me and Echo had been dating for a month now, but we were inseparable. Though he wasn't Mandalorian, the culture of his brothers accepting that they were Mandalorian in some way, shape or form started to influence the way he saw things and most practices. Like relationships for example. He claimed me as his future and I claimed him as mine, in Mandalorian culture, relationships romantically usually lasted through marriage and through death, there was no breaking up and dating for the thrill of it. And I accepted that and I accepted that we were bonded forever.
And that's why I'd been working on this project for so long. I had hid it from the rest of the team, not wanting them to know what I had in mind because I knew Wrecker would 'accidentally' tell Echo about it, Tech would take over the whole project because him constructing it would be more efficient, and Crosshair and Hunter would tease me about my commitment to him. The boys hadn't needed anything fixed in a while, so I figured I could finally make what had been on my mind for a while.
A mechanic arm for Echo.
I had snuck off in the middle of the day sometimes, catching General Skywalker when he was free and having him help me blueprint the arm and having him provide me the materials for it. The General had smiled so wide when I told him I wanted to help Echo, that I was willing to build the arm of a trooper that General Skywalker had once fought beside.
And here it was, finally finished and working properly, Echo's new hand and arm. I rushed out of the Havoc, a large smile gracing my lips. He was going to love it. But I knew that I couldn't show him first, I needed someone to test that it worked.

Slowing my pace as I walked down the ramp, my eyes caught the boys chatting with Captain Rex, General Skywalker beside him with his arms crossed and his own mechanic hand covered with a glove.
I stepped into the conversation, waiting for the General to focus on my presence. He knew it was almost finished and he knew I would grab him once it was, and here I stood, ready.
"Y/n, is it finished?" General Skywalker asked, cocking his eyebrow. All the boys looked at me - especially Echo.
I nodded my head frantically, the excitement of my success painting my face a light pink.
"Is what finished?" Hunter asked, giving me and General Skywalker suspicious looks.
I smirked, "You'll figure it out sooner or later, now if you'll excuse me, I need to borrow the General for a moment."
All the boys exchanged confused looks while I turned my back on them, expecting General Skywalker to follow me as I once again rushed off, but this time towards the Havoc.

I heard the stomp of General Skywalker's boots as I waited for him at the small table that was pressed up against the wall of the ship. It sat there, waiting to be touched and connected to someone, Echo's finished arm.
I heard Anakin undoing the buckles on his glove, slipping the black material off with ease. He then disconnected his metal arm from his flesh arm. I was very lucky they were amputated at the same point, or else this whole thing would've been so much harder.
Anakin connected the metal arm made for Echo to himself, the arm almost exactly like his newer model. I watched as he moved the fingers, clenching them into a fist and them opening the hand again. Anakin's piercing blue eyes gazed up at me, his lips curling into a smile.
"It's perfect."

I hid the mechanic hand in the bunks that me and the others rested in, laid on the pillow of the twin sized mattress that me and Echo shared. I sat down at the table, seeing that the sun on Coruscant was just noticeably setting and the boys would be ready to return to the ship and do their own thing till they found themselves tired.

And I predicted correct, the synchronized footsteps walking up the ramp alerting me to the crew's presence. And I knew the first words that would be spoken.
"What did you need General Skywalker for?" Hunter asked, setting his helmet down on the table I sat at, looking at me with the same curiosity in his eyes that he had earlier, "He refused to tell us."
I smiled once again, the thought of the mechanic hand making me all giddy. "Well, I was making something that I needed his help with and it was finally finished, I just needed his approval."
"What could you have possibly made that needed the General of the 501st's approval?" he replied.
Now all the clones were eyeing me up, all wanting to know the answer to what Hunter had asked. And my smile only got wider. I had everyone just where I wanted them - especially Echo who took a seat across from me with his head tilted in a cute manner. I always loved his questioning looks.
I rubbed my hands together mischievously. "Take your places everyone, I will answer that question in a moment."
I practically floated into the bunks, so light on my feet due to the excitement that boiled in my chest. I snatched the mechanic arm off of me and Echo's bed and returned to the main room, holding it behind my back.
I locked eyes with Echo immediately. "You know how much I love you, and we all know how much you struggle with your arm, how there's not much you can do with a droid socket."
Echo came to realization quicker than the others. "You didn't-"
I pulled the mechanic arm from behind my back and placed it in front of him on the table.
He stared at it, giving me mixed emotions if he liked it or not. But I knew he did, because I noticed the tears that welled up in his hazel eyes. He turned towards me, standing up abruptly and wrapping his arms around me like he hadn't seem me for months. "Cyar'ika, oh my sweet girl," he whispered, petting my hair with his working hand as my arms wrapped tightly around his, returning the hug.
"You actually did it," Tech said, examining the arm closely.
I pulled away from the warm hug and looked at Tech, my eyes watering to match Echo's. I bit my lip, hiding my toothy grin. "Yeah, I've been working for months and Echo and Anakin's wounds match up, so he tried on the arm and it worked perfectly," I explained, turning to Echo, "Do you wanna try it?"
Echo didn't respond verbally, he was always very shy when it came to speaking a bunch anyways. He took his mechanic arm off, the one with a tool they used in almost every mission. He didn't know that wearing this wouldn't lose him anything though, that was the surprise.
Placing on the new arm, he took a few second before getting used to it and stretching his hands gratefully. He turned to me, about to thank me, but I held my index finger to his lips, "Not yet, press the button on your wrist."
Echo did what I said, pressing the metallic button and gasping at the results. Out of his palm came the droid socket that he rocked on his last arm, just able to retract all the way and he could still keep his mechanical hand attached.
"Y/n.. I don't even know how to say thank you," he mumbled, using both of his hands to cup my cheeks and plant a kiss to my forehead before holding my head to his chest.
Hunter chuckled, "Now you really have his heart."
"Like she didn't before," Crosshair retorted, smirking.

8 198The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.
8 176A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
