The Rising

Another one

Chopper sighed as he cradled Riyo in her sleep, they had received news of Lil's kidnapping only hours ago and where on their way to Mandalor to pick up the children and to help. They were now approaching the planets atmosphere as the ships autopilot began to pull them down into a steady decent when Riyo began to stir. 

"Chopper?" 

"Hey I'm right here....hows our little one?" Chopper asked as he rubbed her stomach gently. 

"still annoying their mother.....least I think its they" Riyo mumbled under her breath as she nuzzled against his shoulder. 

"Hey we agreed wait until it or they are born" Chopper mumbled. 

"Do you think Hera and Nix will be ok?"  

Chopper smiled before kissing her forehead "They will be fine......Caleb on the other hand...." 

Riyo smiled "He is in for a very rough ride".

Chopper chuckled "yea......thank you for not being a Jedi Meshla" Riyo smiled "oh come on would that stop us from getting together?"

Chopper stayed scilent as Riyo looked at him. 

"CHOPPER!!!" Riyo half yelled half laughed making Chopper laugh slightly. 

"Oh come on, you where dangerous enough in that dress, I dont think i could have handled it if you where carrying a lightsaber......." 

"what about me was dangerous?" Riyo asked confused. 

"You handcuffed me to you!" Chopper argued 

"Only after you handcuffed me to a pipe!" Riyo argued making Chopper smile slightly, "oh yea....Ow hey" he was pulled from the memory when Riyo slapped his chest roughly. 

"You dont have to remember it like that!" Riyo laughed. 

Chopper smiled before returning to rubbing her stomach "oh come on you know that was funny" 

Riyo glared at him before he kissed her nose "Your perfect the way you are Meshla...no contest". 

She smiled at him before she felt the ship shudder as it landed on the planets surface "Good answer soldier......now lets go collect the kids and tell Caleb the good news". 

Chopper groaned slightly when she left his embrace before he felt her lips decend on his in powerful kiss that had him reeling in his seat before she quickly pulled away and rushed out the ship's lowering platform. 

Chopper slowly grinned before he followed his wife his face smiling happily. 

He followed her to the landing platform when that smile slid off his face replaced by shear shock. 

All around him where smoking heeps of ships that looked to have been some of the finest in the Mandalorian fleet. 

"What on earth?" Chopper mumbled as he put a hand to his head in disbelief. 

"Darth Vader.....he trashed all most all of our fastest ships" Said Kix. 

Chopper had to do a double take at his brother, for the main reason that it did not look like his brother anymore. 

His face was sunkin in slightly and though his clothes looked like he was another simple Mandalorian official it was covered in creeses and stains of ink that the normal Kix would simply not allow. 

"Hey.....how are you holding up?" Chopper asked carfuly.

"Fine"

"Um....do you need any h-" Riyo started. 

"No" Kinteruptes before he continued "Your kids are on their way here. get them and go....". Riyo backed up slightly as his tone before being pulled into Choppers embrace as Kix turned to walk away "She was only being nice....you dont have to be such a jerk". 

Kix froze for a second before returning his walk back into the palace. 

"What happened to him?" Chopper asked confused as he watched his brother disappear into the now slightly depressing building. 

Chopper pulled his wife closer as the daunting realization came to him. "he's trying to suppress his pain......" he muttered. 

"I dont understand" Riyo whispered. 

"...they must be bonded through the force now, so what ever she feels..."

"he feels" Riyo finished in horror. Then Chopper caught sight of three children making their way to them sooner than he would have liked. 

"dont tell them about any of this Chopper" Riyo whispered before kissing his cheek "But-" "no Chopper". 

"No what?" Hera asked as she looked up at them. 

The three kids had gotten close enough to hear the end of the conversation, Chopper smiled nervously at them before he looked to his wife with glint of mischief that made her slightly warey. 

"Riyo here does not think that a visit to Naboo for vacation is a good idea" Chopper said still looking at his wife. 

"But i think its a great idea....especialy since master Mundi will be there with one of his wifes" Chopper continued before he was met with a glare from Riyo. 

"Chopper lets get the kids in the ship before I leave you here and take them to naboo" 

Chopper laughed nervously before he watched her walk back to the ship. 

"come on we dont want her to get more cranky" Chopper said to them and watched as Hera and Nix ran after Riyo. 

Caleb on the other hand looked back to the Palace and then to Chopper "he's hurting bad isn't he?".

Chopper sighed "unfortunately yes, but you dont have to worry about it ok.....Worry about the test Mundi is gonna be giving you" 

"wait what!!" Caleb said terrified. 

"yep.....oh and your apparently supposed to be stu-" Chopper laughed as he watched Caleb running for the ship. 

Chopper gave one last glance at the palace before making his way to the ship.
