Twilight Of The Wraith Chapter 3: An Eventful Journey To Atlantis
Bella pressed the hyperdrive button and then the engage button, the Dauntless then entered hyperspace closely followed by the George Hammond.
About 6 hours into the journey Esme and Emmett came on the bridge
"Bella, I'm here to relieve you for 6 hours" said Esme approaching Bella.
"Thank you Esme" said Bella getting up.
"Edward, I'm relieving you for 6 hours" said Emmett.
"Thanks Emmett" said Edward.
"Let's go and see our daughter" said Bella as her and Edward left the bridge.
A few minutes later Bella and Edward arrived in the Mess Hall
"Mommy, Daddy, I haven't seen you for hours, how are things on the bridge?" asked Renesmee.
"Very quiet now that we're travelling in hyperspace for the next 3 weeks, how are things down here?" replied Bella.
"Interesting, I think Rodney and Jennifer love each other and they don't know how to tell each other, look over there" replied Renesmee pointing to Rodney and Jennifer eating together in the corner.
"I could always read their minds and see if it's true" said Edward.
"Yes please Daddy, they make a great couple, it would be nice to see them happy together" said Renesmee.
"Our daughter the matchmaker" said Bella smiling. Edward started reading Rodney and Jennifer's minds
Jennifer is beautiful, I love her so much, I just wish I could tell her but she would never be interested in me thought Rodney.
I love Rodney, he is so smart and sweet and cute and I know he loves me because he said so when he had the second childhood parasite, I just can't seem to tell him that I love him too thought Jennifer.
"They definitely love each other Renesmee, their love is very strong, it rivals my love for you and your mom" said Edward.
"Awww, I just wish I could help them get together or at least get them to see that they love each other" said Renesmee.
"Maybe, you can, I think if you put one hand on Jennifer's cheek and one hand on Rodney's I think they will be able to sense each other's thoughts and feelings" said Edward.
Renesmee ran over to Jennifer and Rodney, stood between them, put her left hand on Rodney's cheek and her right hand on Jennifer's cheek
"Renesmee, what are you doing?" asked Jennifer.
"Consider this a gift to the two of you from me" replied Renesmee concentrating. Renesmee could feel Rodney and Jennifer's love for each other travelling to them and slowly Rodney and Jennifer's eyes widened, they started smiling at each other and Renesmee took her hands off their cheeks and went back to Bella and Edward.
"You're right Daddy, I felt the strength of their love for each other and it is very powerful" said Renesmee.
Back at Rodney and Jennifer's table
"Jennifer, I love you so much, I've loved you since the moment I met you" said Rodney.
"I love you too Rodney, I have for sometime now" said Jennifer. Jennifer and Rodney stood up and kissed passionately which earned a round of cheers from the other people in the Mess Hall
"Let's go back to my quarters so we can talk" said Jennifer seductively. Rodney and Jennifer walked out of the Mess Hall
"I don't want to know what they are going to do, at least not until I'm older" said Renesmee.
"Good girl" said Bella.
"Mommy, you need to feed, your eyes are black" said Renesmee.
"How?, I mean we're on a space ship flying through hyperspace" asked Bella.
"Well love, Carlisle created a nature reserve in one of the cargo bays and had some animals beamed to it before we left" replied Edward.
"Where is it?" asked Bella.
"This way love" replied Edward. They headed to wildlife cargo bay.
A few minutes later they arrived at the cargo bay with the animals in
"Wow, it looks just like a real forest in here" said Bella.
"I knew you would like it love, now go hunting" said Edward. Bella caught the scent of a fox and ran after it a minute or two later she caught it and drank it dry and then returned to Edward.
"That's better" said Bella.
"I agree, your eyes are topaz again" said Edward.
"Perhaps we should go back to our quarters and rest because we're due back on the bridge in 4 hours" said Bella.
"Good idea" said Edward. Bella and Edward went to their quarters to rest
The next 16 days were just the same as that first one, Alice was trained as science officer, Bella and Edward got the hang of their stations, Rodney and Jennifer started dating, 2 days before they got to Atlantis
"Jasper, we're receiving an emergency transmission from the Daedalus, they are under attack from 4 hive ships" said Edward.
"How far away?" asked Jasper.
"5 minutes" replied Edward.
"Bella, take us out of hyperspace" said Jasper.
"Yes Sir, dropping out of hyperspace" said Bella as she pushed the hyperspace button. The Dauntless dropped out of hyperspace, Colonel Carter knew the Dauntless could take care of the hives so the George Hammond carried on to Atlantis
"Edward, activate the cloak, then take us to battle stations" said Jasper. The Dauntless cloaked and Edward sounded battle stations
"Cloak engaged, all stations report battle ready" said Edward.
"Bella, take us behind the nearest hive" said Jasper.
"Yes Sir" said Bella.
"I'm detecting darts from all 4 hives heading towards the Daedalus" said Edward.
"Bella, are we in position?" asked Jasper.
"Yes Sir" replied Bella.
"All 302 pilots to the 302 bay, Esme Cullen please report to the bridge" said Jasper into the intercom.
A couple of minutes later Esme arrived
"I'm here" said Esme.
"Bella is going to be flying a 302 during the battle, please assume the helm" said Jasper.
"Will do" said Esme.
"Bella you'd better get to your 302" said Jasper. Bella was in the bay in 2 minutes, she climbed into the cockpit of her 302 and started it up. Back on the bridge
"Lock target on the hive, drop the cloak and fire beam weapons" said Jasper. The Dauntless decloaked and fired it's weapons destroying the hive
"Hive ship destroyed, 2 of the remaining hives have shifted their attack to us, locking weapons on the next hive" said Edward.
"All 302s immediate launch, destroy the darts" said Jasper into the intercom. The 302s launched and engaged the darts
"Target locked" said Edward.
"Fire!" said Jasper. Edward pressed the fire button, the Dauntless fired the beam weapons and destroyed the hive attacking the Daedalus
"Daedalus, this is Colonel Jasper Cullen, commander of the Dauntless, do you require assistance?" asked Jasper.
"This is Colonel Stephen Caldwell of the Daedalus, nice timing, we've sustained damage" replied Caldwell.
"Understood, we'll take care of these remaining hives and then return to assist you, Dauntless out" said Jasper.
"Another hive destroyed" said Edward.
"How are the 302s doing?" asked Jasper.
"They've managed to destroy ¾ of the darts with the help of 302s from the Daedalus" said Edward.
"Well let's make sure the rest of the darts have nowhere to go back to, lock weapons on the final hive and fire" said Jasper.
"Target locked, firing" said Edward. The Dauntless fired the beam weapons and destroyed the hive.
"Well done, recall the 302s, once they are aboard destroy the rest of the darts with the Railguns" said Jasper. All the 302s landed safely in the bay and then Edward fired the Railguns and destroyed the rest of the darts.
The Dauntless returned and rendered assistance to the Daedalus, once the Daedalus got their hyperdrive back online, both ships set a course to Atlantis and engaged their hyperdrives.
