Wasted Years

Chapter 1

Hux followed the tracker to Kylo Ren's position. Growling to himself he tossed the Sith's lightsaber on his limp body, and dragged the conscious man to the escape pod. Hux was mumbling to himself about how useless Kylo was. Locking the pod doors behind him. Phasma readied the pod for take off. Mitaka didn't know what do to or where to go. He just glanced nervously at everyone. They barely missed majority of the blast of Starkiller. It still caught them and the entire pod shook, Phasma quickly evened out their flight pattern.

Amethyst was in the kitchen/nursing station of the pod. Hux dropped the dead weight in the room. Amethyst jumped when he hit the ground. She turned and pulled down the headphones connected to her Holopad. She glanced at the body then to her brother.

"Tend to him. Make sure he's alive. I don't care what you have to do." Hux ordered.

"Yes Brother." She said. Quickly moving to Kylo's side and taking his vitals. "Mitaka. Help me." The young lieutenant looked at her and helped the woman. They managed to drag him onto the table. "Thank you Dopheld" She smiled at the male.

"Uh-uh yeah." He nodded and backed away. He looked like he was about to cry. Everything he had worked for, nothing. He couldn't understand why she was so calm right now.

Amethyst pulled her headphones back over her ears and allowed the music that she had downloaded play in her ears. Humming softly to the tune, she stripped Kylo of his tattered upper layers, including his scarf and shirt's, and threw them in a bin, with his saber as well. Kicking the bin aside she grabbed various items to stitch him up with.

....

"Captain. Report." Hux stated sitting in the co-pilots seat. Phasma looked at him and simply sighed.

"Starkiller has exploded sir." She said, pressing various buttons and switches. The blast damaged the lower part of the pod. Keeping them from using hyper speed or any shields.

"Indeed it has."

"What do we do now, sir."

"Supreme Leader wants us to go to him."

"That would take weeks, months even. The hyper speed is damaged." Phasma looked at him. Her helmet was on one of the seats behind them. Her armor was finally annoying her, but she didn't dare remove anything else.

"I suggest you fix it then." Hux growled.

"Yes sir." Phasma said.

.....

Amethyst sang softly. She was sitting on a stool, that had wheels so she was easily able to push and back and forth around the room. She looked up and Mitaka had let into his feelings and was softly crying. "Dopheld. Help me." She pulled her headphones off again and placed them aside. Mitaka looked at her with watering eyes.

He wiped his eyes "How?"

"Remove his boots and pants. I'll have to deal with his leg after I fix his face." Amethyst said. Mitaka stood up and walked over. Unbuckling the lords boots and slipping them off his legs. Amethyst was focused on cleaning out the large wound on his face, it barely just missed the eyeball, so she didn't have to remove that to her relief. Eyes were messy work. Taking them out, depending on the condition of the eye. Cleaning that out. Then either replacing it or covering it. Amethyst hated working with anything around that area.

A soft groan escaped Kylo's lips as Amethyst dug out the dirt and dried blood on his cheek.

She tossed aside the disinfecting items she used into a trash bin and scolded Kylo. "Oh shush. You could've been left with worse." She applied some numbing gel on the now clean skin. "Just let me help you" Grabbing a small set of scissors, designed for cutting flesh, she skipped off the charred ends of the wound. After that she threaded a needle and went to town on closing the skin. Kylo tried to bat her away, but in response she tied his arms down and continued her work. Every now and then he sighed.

It took a few minutes to close the slash across his face. "That is a very clean job Miss Amethyst." Mitaka commented. He eyed the tray filled with charred skin. "You are good at this."

"Thank you Dopheld." She smiled at him again and rolled around to deal with his shoulder and torso wounds. "You look anxious." She commented to the shorter of the two males. "Are you uncomfortable with Ren being so near? Are you afraid he'll hurt you?"

"Well.. yeah." He stuttered slightly.

"Nothing to be afraid of. He's too tired to do anything." She pulled the thread tight and knotted it. Cutting the end of it, she moved on to sterilize the blaster wound. "Besides, he knows we mean no harm, more or less. Isn't that right Kylo?"

He only grunted in response. That made Mitaka jump slightly. Amethyst laughed and continued her job.

"Amethyst, stop playing with Mitaka."

"I'm not playing with him, Brother."

"Sister." he glared.

"Oh shush." She rolled her eyes at him. The man 3 years her senior stepped closer to her. Trying to intimidate her with his height.

"You do not speak to your superiors in that manner." He seethed

"In case you haven't noticed, there are no superiors. No one is in charge. There are no titles anymore brother. Everything you did for the past 10 years is gone."

"I am your superior!"

"Just because you're my older brother doesn't mean anything!" She cut the remaining thread on Kylos leg and faced him properly. "So be helpful and help me put him in a cot."

"Mitaka." Hux ordered.

"Yes sir." The youngest male walked forward.

"No, you sit back down." she pointed at Mitaka. "You, my lovely older brother. Help me move Kylo." Growling he helped amethyst. He picked up Kylos upper body, Amethyst grabbed his legs. They placed him on a cot that was barely big enough for him. Amethyst covered his body and let him rest.

"Don't ever speak to me like that again Amethyst."

"No promises Armitage."
