X-Destroyer 9 (Mel's Ship)

[alexisduit]

*After setting the coordinates for Dagobah and going into hyperspace, Mel sat back and closed his eyes.*

::I wish Alexis could come with me. She's so fun to be with.:: *Falls asleep and dreams of Alexis.*

Later

*Mel wakes to the alarm that tells him the ship is ready to come out of hyperdrive. When he comes out over Dagobah, he notes that Maci's ship is just going down into the atmosphere. He takes the coordinates of where she lands, and is cautious to take a route to the planet that will keep the X-Destroyer out of sight, and lands about a mile away.*

[alexisduit]

*uses a tractor beam on the starfighter to have it follow the X-Destroyer, and flies the freighter back to the meadow. FM's Mel:* ~~Mel, move away from the sith ship~~

*When he sees Mel get well away, he shoots the ship's engines, making them explode. Then he lands, and Mel boards.*

*Goes back to attend to Maci as Mel pilots his ship back to Corruscant.*

[alexisduit]

*Feels the ship take off and go into hyperspace as he sits next to Maci, holding her hand.*

"I love you, Maci." *Carresses her cheek* "For better or worse, in darkness and light, for all eternity!"

[Rhianna Antiires]

*Maci..slowly comming back ...getting a grip on things*

"I..i am so..sorry...I was weak...I cant believe I..."

[alexisduit]

"It's alright, Maci. Everything is alright. You're safe, and the babies are safe." *Tenderly kisses her as he runs his hand through her hair.* "I love you so much!"

[Rhianna Antiires]

"Bry...Im..so..sorry..."

*sniffs*

"I..feel so weak...like I was beaten"

[alexisduit]

"Shh." *Bryont whispers.* "No more apologies, Love. All you need is a good meal in you."

*Gets up and gets her a sandwich* "This should do for now."

[Maci MgCray]

*Maci picks at her food,feeling unable to eat,Ly's there staring at the ceiling,her hands resting on her belly. The contractions subsided and though she still felt bad,she felt...safe for now. *

[alexisduit]

*Bryont gets something for Maci to drink.* "Maybe this will help, Love." *Carresses her cheek.*

[alexisduit]

*Maci nods and takes a sip....holds the cup by her mouth staring into nothingness...her mind...


...a thousand miles away.*


"Maci?" *Bryont looks into her eyes.* "What is it, Love?"

"I...I can't understand how easily..I was swayed... maybe I should rethink my position. I am a failure. Because of me, you took Tambers life and Mel... Mel took lives as well"

*Maci wipes her tears*

*Bryont hugs Maci.* "Honey, you are not a failure! You areexpecting far too much of yourself. You may be a master, but you are still human. There is only so much you can take with being pregnant and weakened by hunger and exhaustion,
and... Tamber knew you, didn't he?

"Yes..yes he did.. he was once my master... my first Master. How did he know you? He as so intent on getting to you"

[alexisduit]

*Bryont frowns.* "That puzzles me as well. I don't think I ever met him."

[Rhianna Antiires]

*sits the cup down and turns over lying on side..stares off*

[alexisduit]

"I love you, Maci." *Lies down next to her and cuddles with her.*

[Rhianna Antiires]

*smiles softly*

"I love you Bryont...thank you for comming for me"

[alexisduit]

"Did you ever think I wouldn't?" *Runs his fingers through Maci's hair as he brushes a strand out of her face.
