Okay here's Chapter 6
This is during the episode Replacements without Crosshair against them. Neve gains the ability to breathe in space in her human form.
Omega learns about Neve's family and her bloodline.
(Hunter's POV)
I woke up in Neve's quarters smelling blood very strongly my mind went rampant "did anyone get injured? Oh gods did Neve get hurt" I questioned before hearing Neve groan in pain waking up "you feeling alright love?" I asked her gently "yeah it's just that my stomach's been cramping" "did you get injured?" I asked her again "what no why do you ask?" "I can smell blood" her eyes widened lifting up the covers to see a dark bloodstain on the sheets before letting out a curse "oh fuck not again" she growled out in frustration I gently rubbed her back "I'm on my fucking period that's just fucking wonderful" "go clean up love I'll sort out the sheets" she walked into the refresher leaving me to handle the laundry "oh no" Fives muttered visibly concerned seeing the bloodstained sheets "period?" "Period" I nodded putting the sheets in the wash Neve walked out wearing her armour putting her pyjamas in as well I gently coxed her to take a painkiller before doing anything "thanks love" she smiled at me I gave out rations to my brothers before going to give Neve and Omega their share finding Neve sitting on the floor while Omega played with her hair "having fun?" I asked grinning at Neve she gave me a look before smiling "oh we're having fun alright right Omega?" "Yeah" she smiled while braiding her hair "you should let Neve braid your hair Hunter" I sighed sitting in front of Neve as she braided my hair to pass the time but to also teach Omega how to braid hair "hey Neve how are you good at braiding hair?" "I have two sisters and a niece I learned how to braid hair from my older sister Null" "I thought Anakin and Blade were your only siblings" "oh no I have 8 siblings all together I have 6 brothers four older than me 2 younger than me" she explained before showing Omega a picture of her family no doubt "who are those two?" "Milo and Kira my niece and nephew" "I would like to meet them" "well it'll depend if we're near my home planet Omega" Omega braided my hair next I sat as still as I could for her while offering Neve her ration share then gave Omega her share when she was finished Wrecker climbed down from the gunner seat to get his share "give me another one" "Wrecker we don't have much rations on board the ship" "you can have mine" I stopped Wrecker from taking Omega's ration share "Omega doesn't even have a place to sleep don't go taking her food now" "Hunter calm down" Neve grabbed my arm I looked at her seeing the worry in her face "you need to calm down before you lash out" I caught a glimpse of my reflection seeing my eyes a yellowish gold colour instead of my normal eye colour "it's like Kamino all over again" I muttered "you're stressed out Hunter it's gonna be okay" I wrapped my arm around her as she kissed my check sweetly "oh also would this be helpful" Neve held out a packaged meal "are those" "MREs yep I forgot I had these on me but there's not many though" she handed the one in her hand to Wrecker as she ate some of her ration bar "did you have your share?" "I haven't had mine yet Neve" she broke off a piece she hadn't bitten handing it to me "you need to eat as well Hunter" I took it from her to eat it "you had those this entire time" "I said I forgot about I had these Crosshair" she snapped at him in anger the lights sparked and blinked we looked up as it happened again "that'll be annoying" Neve muttered annoyance in her tone "Echo the lights are acting up again I thought you said you fixed it" "yeah I'll add it to the list of other things that need to be kriffing fixed that attack while leaving Sulucami put a whole lot of damage on the Marauder" "nothing has been critically damaged" I walked into the Marauder's cockpit unbraiding my hair with Neve's help when the ship suddenly dropped out of hyperspace I quickly steadied myself and Neve before standing behind Tech "getting thrown outta hyperspace I'd say that pretty critical Tech" "it's not affecting life support we're fine" "are you kidding me!?" I responded with Neve in unison Omega, Fives, Wrecker and Crosshair strapped themselves in as Tech started to land the Marauder without crashing thankfully
(Echo's POV)
I stood up with some difficulty after Tech managed to land the ship noticing how cold it had gotten "I temporarily put the ship's power to the life support I'll start repairing the damage" "alright let's start repairing the Marauder" Hunter spoke Neve put the arm pieces of her armour back on I put the oxygen mask on with the others Omega put hers on after Neve gave her one we got outside to repair the ship Neve sat on the ramp to look over a list and add to it "what are you doing?" I heard Omega asked her while holding out a repair tool to Tech who took it going to fix something on the ship's underside "supplies for the Marauder as well as stuff for the survival kits and the medical kit we're almost out of bacta patches, painkillers and other medical supplies and a few things I need to get for myself" she spoke before hissing in pain as her stomach cramped up "are you alright?" Omega asked her very worried about her "I'm fine just my stomach cramping up" she put the list in her pocket before standing up to walk over to where Hunter was "Echo what's wrong with Neve?" "I can't tell you but if you ask Neve I'm sure she'll tell you" I said helping Tech with the ship's repairs "oh wait until Omega gets her's" Fives muttered welding a panel back on
(Neve's POV)
I stood next to Hunter as he was tracking something he had a look on his face one that said something else is here "everything okay?" I asked him he looked at me "yeah everything's fine" he answered me while getting up walking back to the Marauder I heard a noise that made me look around ears up in alert letting out a huff seeing nothing "what the where did the component go!?" I heard Fives yell out "those weren't there before" Tech said looking at the claw marks I lightly touched the marks "they're fresh" I commented as Hunter hummed in response looking at something behind me "tracks, fresh too by the look of them" I grabbed a flashlight seeing tracks leading away from the Marauder "well whatever it was hasn't hopefully made it far we'll find it then take back the component" "can I come with you both?" I looked at Omega "okay but stay close to us we don't know what we're dealing with" "okay" I walked alongside Hunter and Omega "can you track things like Hunter?" "I can but not as well as him" "now that's a lie Neve, your senses are just as good as mine" "okay shush you" I said lightly tapping him with my hand as he chuckled at me "I know I asked about Earth a lot but I wanna see it" "well when we get enough supplies and fuel we can head there" "really can we?" I looked at Hunter seeing him give me a look I smiled innocently at him "yes can we?" I asked teasingly "alright alright you both win we can go to Earth when we have the supplies okay" Omega beamed happily "you're such a troublemaker" "mhm but you love me" he rested his forehead on mine before finding the component "well we found it, let's get back to the ship" he knelt down to pick it my ears flicked up hearing a noise in front of us "Hunter" I called out he looked up as a Ordo Moon Dragon leapt on him knocking him down I grabbed my blaster scaring it away with a couple of warning shots "it's getting away!" Omega called out to Hunter "Hunter!" I knelt down next to him as he choked having lost his mask "Omega find his mask!" I said "it's broken!" "I have no other choice then" I held my breath tearing my mask off quickly placing it on Hunter scaring Omega slightly "I can last without breathing, Omega stay here with Hunter" I signed to her "but" "I'll be okay" I signed going after the Moon Dragon taking off in a run following its trail "I know I can last without breathing no don't think about that focus on getting the component back" I thought to myself finding the Moon Dragon remembering a piece of information about them that Tech had spewed out during his infamous info dump I switched the flashlight I grabbed on holding it out to the Moon Dragon it slowly approached me dropping the component in my open palm taking the flashlight running off with it I heard my comm go off as the urge to breathe started growing stronger stretching out my wings I took to the sky landing where I left Omega and Hunter "let's get you to the ship" I felt my vision fade collapsing to the ground "woah I got you Neve" I coughed taking a breath when noticing I wasn't suffocating "what the?" I questioned "you can breathe in this environment?" "I'm just as confused as you" I followed them back to the Marauder "what the? How is that possible?" "I don't know but it's probably something to do with me being a hybrid of human and Cybertronian" I suspected "and you are correct in that assumption given that Cybertronian biology is similar to humans therefore compatible for sexual activities certain qualities of your mother's Cybertronian genetics have fused with the human genetics of your father therefore creating your own unique genetic structure" Tech explained me and Hunter stared at him "okay you did not scientifically explained how me and my siblings were conceived" "what does that mean?" Omega asked "it's the term used for when a expecting mother learns about her pregnancy" I explained it best to Omega "and I think we all had enough excitement for one day" "yep" "Tech how are repairs coming along?" Hunter asked him "the ship is fully repaired we can leave" "let's go then" I walked on board the ramp sealed shut with a hiss as oxygen filled the cockpit the others put their oxygen masks away I gave Hunter a kiss before going to the refresher to clean up again while my stomach cramped painfully
(Omega's POV)
I watched Mom go into the refresher before looking over to Dad "Hunter is she okay?" I asked he looked to the closed door of the refresher before looking to me "Neve's alright Omega she's just dealing with something" he responded with reassurance while grabbing three cups "what are you doing?" I asked curiously "I'm making hot chocolate" "what's hot chocolate?" I asked "it's hot milk and cocoa powder mixed to create a hot drink hence the name" "oh okay" "now where did the marshmallows go?" I noticed a bag of them "is it these?" I asked holding up the bag of marshmallows "yeah that's the marshmallows thanks Omega" he took the bag opening it after getting the milk hot "is it alright if I check on her" "go ahead but be careful the floor is still cluttered" I walked to the refresher opening the door to see blood on the floor at Mom's feet she noticed me "Omega calm down I'm" "HUNTER!" I yelled out running to him
(Neve's POV)
I sighed forgetting to lock the refresher's door Hunter walked in "are you alright?" "I'm fine Omega saw the blood" I saw her peer in "Omega I'm fine really" "why are you bleeding did you get hurt?" I rested my hand on her shoulder "Omega this is normal the bleeding there's no wound it's something all girls go through after reaching a certain age" "why what is it?" "I'm on my period it's a normal thing for women during something called Ovulation, let me tell you something I started getting my period at around 13" "does Hunter know you get them?" I nodded "freaked out when he saw both the blood and sensed the change in my hormones the first time right after a siege I might need to get extra stuff" "why?" "Omega how old are you?" "I'm 11 why?" "I'm sure when you're around 12 you'll get your first period" "does it hurt?" I patted her shoulder "no it doesn't hurt Omega, you'll get cramps here and there but it won't hurt that bad" I bit my lip as my stomach cramped again "but mine are the most annoying and painful" "I'll get a hot water bottle and cloth go lay down in your room for a bit Neve I'll bring your hot chocolate in with them" "okay then thanks love" I walked to my quarters laying on my bed leaning against the head rest biting back my whines of pain I picked up my Vibrio knife Hunter had gotten me as a present after visiting my home planet to clean distracting myself from the cramps just as Hunter walked in "how are you feeling?" "I'm fine just the cramps are getting worse and I forgot to take another painkiller" he handed me my hot chocolate "I'm guessing you made one for Omega to have" "yep I'm just hoping Wrecker doesn't eat all the marshmallows or anything that'll help you with the cramps" I took a sip letting the hot beverage warm up my cold insides as Hunter put the wrapped up the hot water bottle on my stomach before sitting behind me letting me lean on his chest he wrapped his arm around me before holding his own cup of hot chocolate I sipped my drink again relishing and enjoying both the beverage and Hunter's presence "you feeling better now?" "I feel much better" I answered curling up in his arms before purring in content "you're such a cat love" "and you're really warm" I muttered finishing my drink using the Force to put the empty cup on the table near the bed he finished his drink putting his cup next to mine wrapping his other arm around me rubbing my belly gently and tenderly "I know we talked about having a family before this happened" "Hunter wait until we find a place to go and lay low or when we go to Earth then we can think about it" I spoke he chuckled at me laying down with me laying on top of him "I know love I know" I let out a yawn relaxing on top of him as he pull the blanket over us both I fell asleep with him holding me close to him
(Crosshair's POV)
I walked in the quarters to find both Neve and Hunter asleep cuddling close I felt the corners of my mouth tug upward in a sincere smile quietly and carefully grabbing the cups sneaking out with the door shutting behind me I sighed in relief before putting the cups in the sink for Tech or Echo to clean I heard Tech explaining the difference between men and women very carefully to Omega "hey Omega check it out!" Wrecker walked in leading Omega to the gun seat "it's your own room" "thanks Wrecker" she sat in her makeshift room before spotting something on the wall "that's a lot of pictures" "aww that one's my favourite" "oh yeah that was when Neve had to babysit Milo and Kira" "and during a mission no less" I piped in remembering how panicked she had gotten when they vanished "worst time to babysit them if I'm being honest Neve almost died from a heart attack" "I was relieved to have found them when we did" "how she didn't snap under the stress of the mission and losing the twins I will never know" "did she always have to babysit them during missions?" Omega asked "oh no not during ongoing missions normally off duty" Echo spoke from his bunk Fives sat next to him "um so what's the rest of her family like?" "You'll get along with Milo and Kira just fine Omega, their father Herobrine is the fourth oldest sibling in Neve's family, Notch is the oldest the firstborn son he's both the Senator of the Sol System Alliance and he's a king, there's Null and Entity their twins and Blade is younger than Herobrine but still older than Neve and Anakin who are twins then theirs Duke and Kayla, Kayla's the youngest of them" Fives spoke explaining all the Skywalker siblings in one sentence before continuing "oh there's Max he's their cousin who was taken under Neve's wing well both him and his buddy Steel an Ultralink they make a great team, Steel sees Neve as a cool and wise mentor and friend" "then there's Dusty another cousin of theirs he's married to Blade" "wow they have a lot of family members" "yep they're parents BlueStar and Winston were the previous king and queen but they were uhh do I say it" "I don't know Fives" "they were killed not long after me and Anakin were 9 years old Duke and Kayla were 7 & 5 when it happened" Neve said no longer asleep Hunter stood next to her "I thought you both were asleep" "I needed to use the refresher" "I woke up after her" Omega climbed down from her room to hug Neve "I'm sorry about your parents" "it's alright Omega" "I know this is a sore subject but what exactly happened to them?" Echo asked curiously
(Hunter's POV)
I watched Omega sit with Crosshair and Wrecker while hearing Neve sigh "guys I know we're all curious about this but I don't think it's a good idea" I spoke understanding the fact that it's clearly a sore subject for Neve "it's alright Hunter might as well get it off my chest" she said in a reassuring manner before adding "plus I can see you want to know" I sighed before sitting down on my bunk with her "so what happened to them?" Fives asked "I remember it clear as day and as Kamino's waters, it was right after visiting Kamino I was outside with my parents and siblings exploring the outside world instead of the walls of my home, I hadn't even fully gotten all my adult feathers like the ones I have now I still had some of my baby feathers" she stretched out her wings showing the feathers "so yeah a fledgling back then, anyway I was chasing after a butterfly with Anakin trying to catch it ended up getting a telling off from my mom when I called him a uh penis face" Fives snickered "how did you even call him that?" "I might've overheard Jango and my dad call each other that so my first curse word was learned from those two" we laughed at that I stopped when Neve's face darkened "something tells me something or someone was involved" I rested my hand on hers "anyway while chasing after the butterfly the sky had darkened mostly because of a storm that had been forming out in the ocean, while looking up I noticed a ship in the sky landing in the woods both my parents had gotten tense told Notch to take us into the castle, minutes turned into hours and being a curious kid back then I snuck out of the castle to follow both my parents into the forest, when I reached where they were my mom was arguing with a Cybertronian with red silver and gold armour both my parents clearly didn't want him around what happened next has haunted and tormented me since then" she took a breath before continuing "the Cybertronian had raised his weapon at them causing my mom to turn into her Cybertronian form my dad had noticed me hiding in the bushes he wasn't mad at me for sneaking out of the castle but told me to go back there, bear in mind this was before I knew that my mom was a Cybertronian I was scared and had no idea what was happening, the next thing I knew the Cybertronian killed my dad right before my eyes my mom saw me then she told me to run as she fought against his killer" "didn't you run?" "Fives I was paralysed with fear, I had just watched my own father get killed right in front of me, if my sister Null hadn't saw me snuck out I wouldn't be here now" I looked at her in both shock and worry "Neve what happened next?" I gently coaxed her "the killer raised his weapon at me just as Notch grabbed hold of me as mom shoved dad's killer away, my shock had worn off when mom told Notch to run and take me home just as she was killed, while Notch was running away from the scene something had hit me causing Notch to run faster back to the castle, the next thing I knew I was in my room with my siblings with me I asked Notch were mom and dad was hoping it was just a bad dream" I could hear the trembling and sadness in her voice "when Notch told me they were dead, if you boys were around during their funeral you would've heard my screams of both pain and sadness while Hero set fire to the funeral pyres" I pulled her to my chest as the boys were silent digesting what she had told them and me "I never asked for the whole story but now I know what happened to her parents" I felt my blood boil wanting to kill the bastard who had caused so much pain for her and her family "no Neve needs you now it's bad enough the Empire is after her and her brother, I am not letting anyone hurt her again" I vowed to myself
(Echo's POV)
I sat in silent horror and shock fully absorbing her story "she's been through so much and she's still here, gods that must've been so hard for her when they were killed" I looked over to the others all shocked and sad Omega ran over to Neve hugging her tightly "you guys would've loved my parents if they were still here, mom often told me and Anakin stories about the wider galaxy when I was little my curiosity about the galaxy grew dad used to tell us about Terre Vizsla and how he met mom, this necklace belonged to mom before she gave it to me" she held out the necklace for us to look at "the necklace itself is made of Beskar the gem is a blue diamond, dad gave it to mom as a wedding gift when they had married, originally mom was going to give it to Null but she didn't want it, so it was passed down to me then" she explained "it's so pretty" Omega said very amazed at the necklace and it's design "Neve we had no idea how much you had gone through, how long have you kept this to yourself?" Hunter asked her I could see his worry bubbling over "a long time I never was asked about it, I never had to bring it up mostly because of what happened afterwards" "oh yeah" "and being able to be with you Hunter" she put the necklace back under her armour to keep it safe and from getting broken we sat in silence when Omega yawned tiredly "I think we all could use some sleep" I yawned with everyone else as drowsiness started settling in
(Fives's POV)
I leaned against Echo while fighting the urge to sleep Wrecker yawned with Crosshair "tell you what Omega how about I tell you a story that my mom told me when I had trouble sleeping" "really can you?" "I don't mind at all" Omega curled up in a blanket while hugging Lula that Wrecker gave her "a long time ago, there was a dragon that had hatched from a egg" we all listened intently out of curiosity and eagerness "the little dragon was in nest made of leaves and flowers, with a yawn and tiny roar to great the world the little dragon climbed out of the nest to explore the area, she explored the outside of her nest finding a world so strange and full of creatures of all shapes and sizes, with a curious mind she went off to explore she walked through a spiralling jungle meeting a young jaguar cub they became friends, they both walked through a vast plain home to a very curious elephant and lion cub they joined the dragon and jaguar on their adventure, they crossed paths with a eaglet and wolf cub while exploring a small forest they became fast friends to the group, years passed and the six friends were all grown up, the elephant grew big and strong, the eaglet grew into a magnificent eagle, the lion grew to become regal and powerful, the wolf grew with loyalty and kindness, the jaguar had grown with insight and grace and finally the dragon had grown up with beautiful scales the colour of silver and blue together they were protectors of nature, her and the jaguar had grown closer than ever becoming lovers and protectors of a beautiful jungle, the end" I fell asleep when she finished with the others
(Neve's POV)
I looked over to the boys seeing them asleep after telling Omega the story Hunter and I chuckled at the sight of them sleeping "sleepy yet Omega?" I asked her "no I can't sleep" "hmm what to do?" I pondered thinking for a solution before instantly getting an idea "would a lullaby help?" I asked her again "what's a lullaby?" Omega asked very curious "a lullaby is a song often used to put younglings to sleep" I explained to her "it might help you go to sleep Omega" Hunter pitched in helpfully before giving me a soft smile "can I sleep with you and Hunter?" I looked over to Hunter who shared my look silently debating it before smiling at Omega "I don't see the harm in that" Hunter picked her up carrying her into my quarters "the others will definitely say something about this" "yeah they will but for now we focus on Omega okay" I whispered laying against my pillows with a blanket over my shoulders Hunter plopped down next to me while holding Omega before nestling her between us I shimmied closer to him as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders bringing my wing over him and Omega while humming a lullaby to Omega she snuggled into both of us falling asleep "we're adopting her" Hunter whispered I silently giggled before holding his hand while he pulled a blanket over the three of us I fell asleep with him soon after
(Later)
(Tech's POV)
I woke up pulling my goggles back over my eyes with a yawn waking up in the bunks with the others curiously and worriedly I noticed Neve, Hunter and Omega were no longer in the bunks walking through the Marauder I peered into Neve's quarters to find the most heart warming sight Neve and Hunter were sleeping with Omega nestled between them I smiled before leaving them be to pilot the ship the others woke up after a minute passed "where are?" I raised my finger to my lips making them peer into Neve's quarters before leaving them be door shutting behind them "let them be" I instructed
Gosh I made the explanation of the death of BlueStar and Winston's death sad
Well least I had ended wholesomely
