A/N Thanks for those of you who reviewed, I am so happy. I won't always be updating this soon. Most of the time it will be awhile. I love suggestions. : )

Chapter 2

"Fix it?" Oenone asked. She had dark brown hair that fell to her shoulders and flipped out much like Beka's. She also dressed a lot like Beka. She had all of Beka's old clothes and at the moment was wearing her black shirt with holes in it and a leather jacket with dark green pants and black boots. Her brown eyes looked at Joy questioningly.

"There is no way to fix this! They died! They are dead! Gone! And we, we are alone!" Oenone shouted. Oenone, being half Nietzschean had the boneblades but not the temperament. She was a lot like her mother but more emotional at times. Gaheris was a lot like Telemachus except he showed more emotion and seemed more human. He also looked almost exactly like him.

"Oenone, calm down." Gaheris said. He knew how much the topic of their parent's deaths hurt her but it hurt them all. All of their parents had died in the last two months.

"No! It is over! We failed! They failed! And now it is up to us to pick up the pieces."

"Stop!" Alexander said. "Just...stop." Alexander and Shalimar both looked like Dylan except they had their mother's eyes. They also had a personality so similar to his it was scary at times.

"Listen, we can't fall apart, not now. Not after all we have been through. Our parents died fighting the Magog and the Abyss. Now, we have to continue that!" Maria said. Maria wasn't human. She was Syrian which means she had many black 'S' shaped lines with a dot at either end running down the sides and arms and legs of her entire body.

"No, what I mean is that this wasn't supposed to happen. Not like this. Of course they will die but not yet!" Joy said. "And now we don't 'pick up the pieces.' We fix what they didn't. Couldn't. Didn't know how."

"Joy, I honestly think you have lost it. You might be able to travel through time but we cant!" Shalimar said.

"Yes." Joy mumbled to herself. Then looked up. "Yes, you can."

"Joy have you completely fried your brain?" Alex asked.

"No. Andromeda, bring up the slipstream route to the Route of Ages." Joy said.

"Aye." Andromeda answered.

Up came the slip points.

"Oenone, take us there." Joy said, pointing.

"What? Why?" Oenone asked. With both of their parents as pilots, it was natural they would be able to fly extremely well but Oenone was by far better.

"Because, that is the way to fix this." Joy said. "I will explain when we get there. Just go."

Oenone looked at Gaheris who now, being Andromeda's captain, nodded.

"Ok, I think you are both crazy but hey, what else is new." Oenone said. Alex smiled. Maria looked nervous.

"Well I am going down to the engine room, to make sure that duct tape I used to mend the slipstream core doesn't fall off." Shalimar said leaving command.

"Everyone, to your stations. It is more then likely we will encounter Magog on the way or when we get there." Gaheris said grimly.

10 jumps later....

"O-ne, you ok?" Gaheris asked.

"No, not really." Oenone muttered. "But its ok. Only 5 more jumps to go."

"O-ne, get some rest, I can bring us there. Get some food or sleep." Gaheris said.

"Ok." Oenone sounded relieved.

"I don't like this." Maria said a few minutes after Oenone left command.

"What?" Alex asked.

"This. It is too easy. There are no Magog trying to kill us. It just doesn't seem normal. Like they are waiting to set a trap..."

"More then likely." Gaheris said. "Remember, like it or not, the Magog of today use tactics. Which for them is an incredible feat."

Maria still looked worried. "Still, this just is too..." As Maria was about to finish, the Andromeda shook as missiles made contact with the hull.

"EASY!" Maria shouted over the noise. "Its Magog! 9 swarm ships!"

"Alex, take 'em out!" Gaheris shouted.

"You got it! Loading missile tubes 1 through 50!" Alex said. "FIRE!"

"3 of the ships have been destroyed." Andromeda's hologram popped up and reported.

"Reload!" Alex ordered. "Fire!"

"All remaining targets have been destroyed and we are 4 slip points from the Route of Ages." Andromeda reported.

"Too easy." Gaheris and Maria said.

"I agree." Andromeda said.

"But for now, there is nothing we can do." Gaheris said. "We'll continue and meet the challenges when they arrive. Andromeda..."

"Opening slipstream portal."

A/n I know it isn't the best. This was the last chapter I had already written out. So now, I need suggestions!
