If Tech Lived

If Tech Lived…

So I am and have been a Tech Lives theorizer since season 3 started. But immediately after watching the finale I’ve been thinking… I don't write angst but it's better to write it than just say it.

——————————————————

Hunter blinks spots away as he limps away from that awful ‘reconditioning machine’. His senses are in full overload but Hemlock took Omega somewhere, He has to find her, fast. The spots clear enough and he spots an abandoned electro-staff. Something moves in the corner of his eye. It's one of those Shadows he thinks fast and hurls the spear into the Shadow’s abdomen. The Shadow is impaled in a flash of sparks against the wall. His helmet glitches open from the ‘staff.

“No,” Hunter whispers “No, no!” He yells this time

No, no, no, he died during the- wished he could deny it but that was his brother. Crosshair emerges from the shadows and gapes at the Shadow- no their brother. Hunter darts over to feel for a pulse.

”He’s gone,” Crosshair declares

Crosshair is right.

”Tech is gone, Hunter,” Crosshair continues “Hemlock made sure of that,” He adds mournfully “We have to go get Omega”

Hunter pauses for a moment then turns, picks up a blaster, head spinning, and follows Crosshair out the door. I just killed my brother. He shoves that thought away quickly. We have to get Omega first.

They both emerge onto the rainy landing platform, right in time to see Hemlock’s shuttle leave. He and Crosshair both raise their guns to shoot uselessly but they're too late. Hunter can't hold back the scream he’s been holding in. I killed Tech and lost Omega. I've failed.

——————————————————

Yeah… that was the thing I was thinking about. If Tech lived and was revealed to be CX-2 when he was impaled(because his helmet glitches cause of the electrico staff) that they wouldn't have enough time to rescue Omega.

Can you tell I don't write angst?

They should bring back Tech as CX-2 elsewhere and give him an un-brainwashing arc anyway because:

1. It would make ALL THAT *gestures at every CX-2 appearance before the finale* in season three make sense.

2. It would mean they fake-out-killed the man four separate times (fall, boulders, waterfall, mild impalement), and I find that extremely funny.

Wrecker: so, this didn’t ACTUALLY happen. But let’s pretend that it did. Let’s just say that Tech was trying to get access to an encrypted comm channel, but he couldn’t because he needed to be plugged in to this one computer.

Hunter: uh huh.

Wrecker: and uh, let’s pretend that he had this really REALLY long cord. And Crosshair volunteered to crawl through the ventilation system to plug the cord into the computer.

Hunter: uh huh.

Wrecker: and let’s say that, just maybe, I sat on Tech’s comm while he was giving Crosshair directions. And Tech lost contact with him.

Hunter: right.

Wrecker: so like uh, if that WERE to happen, how would you go about finding Crosshair again?

Hunter: Wrecker, did you and Tech lose Crosshair in Kamino’s ventilation system?

Wrecker: no!! Well, uh, I mean, we didn’t LOSE him…

Hunter: *long sigh* *yanks vent covering off the wall* where did you last hear from him

Penguins of Madagascar = Bad Batch??

Heyy Tumblr,

So most of us can agree that if the Bad Batch were the Penguins of Madagascar that they would be:

Skipper = Hunter

Kowalski = Tech

Rico = Wrecker

Private = Omega

But what about the others? I want to do something… weird with the information gathered so help me out here.

Echo =??

Crosshair = Hans??

Batcher =??????

Or King Julian, Mort, Maurice, Alex the Lion, Gloria, Melvin, Marty.

I need ideas.

You are a Prophecied hero who (with your friends) saved the kingdom. Now, said “friends” are avoiding you because they only needed you for the prophecy
