Skye nodded as she ran, not flew to where Galadriel was. Galadriel leaned on Skye, tired and exhausted from the mental battle.
"Go. Go." She urged Skye, glancing back at Sauron. She knew the Dark Lord could not be destroyed. She stayed there. Skye tried to pull her along. Galadriel winced as Sauron was struck by another bolt of lightning. She understood Galadriel's plan.

"I'm not letting you kill yourself." Skye stated the obvious.
"I am not asking for your-" Galadriel began but Skye cut her off with a well-placed pinch. Sauron, too, seemingly fell asleep. Skye smiled. It was faint, but it was there.
"I had no idea that would even work." She muttered happily to herself. She glanced at Didact.

"Didact! Can you get us out of here?" She asked.

The Didact pressed a button on his helmet. The Approach stopped in the hole in the wall. "Get on." He said. He stepped behind the controls. "Bring shields up, ready the thrusters and arm the starboard Archer Missile Pods."
"Aye, sir." The AI replied. "Quickly." said the Didact, gesturing for Skye and Galadriel to get on.

Skye quickly slipped Nenya off Galadriel's fingers. She put it on, and chanelling the newfound power, teleported both of them onto the Mantle's Approach. She nodded at Didact, slipping the ring of Power back to Galadriel's finger. She was unconscious, but Skye knew Galadriel knew about her little deed. At any rate, she would once she looked into the past. Galadriel would hopefully stay asleep for half an hour.

"Get us out of here." The Didact said. "Five hundred units for one hundred kilometres and then take us down to three hundred." The AI followed his commands. "Scan a two hundred meter radius. Anything following?"
"Negative, sir."
"Good." The Didact turned around. "If you have a destination, or need to find something out about the ship, tell the AI. I'm gonna go make repairs to my armor." He walked off towards his private quarters.

"Galadriel, I hope you realize you are still a fool." Skye said, as she looked at the Elf. She knew what Galadriel had done. In a way, she supposed she knew nearly as much as Tolkien, or perhaps even more, about Middle-Earth. Many times, she had experienced dreams in Middle Earth. Back then, she didn't know they were actually real scenes from Middle-Earth. Now though, she knew better. She knew if she wanted to, she could reach out and see Middle-Earth. Skye closed her eyes.

Elves frantically ran about, carrying tomes and herbs. To and fro they ran, never bumping into each other. They ran swift as the wind, with a panic never before seen in the Eldar. In the middle of the chaos were Gandalf the White and Celeborn, Lord of Lorien. Gandalf had several books hovering in front of him, pages flipping rapidly. Celeborn however was talking grimly to an Elf about the situation. Skye had no idea what they said, as they spoke in a very rapid form of Elven Speech.

Then, Celeborn stumbled, as he fell. He clutched his chest, as if he was in pain. Gandalf took notice of this. He quickly summoned two Elves, and watched as Celeborn was carried away. Then, he looked straight at Skye.

'Bring her back. If you care about any of us, please, bring her back.' He begged at Skye. Fear and sadness, doubt and worry, and hope were present in his eyes.

'I cannot, Gandalf. If I could, I would do it in a heartbeat. Even if it meant my death, or Earth's death. But I can't, and I'm sure you know that too. Mithradil, there is no use for hope this time. I cannot return her, and she cannot return herself.' Skye said, as all faded to black.

Skye opened her eyes. She glanced around the room. It felt stupid, but she spoke anyway. "AI, can you show me where to find medical supplies?"

(Right... we're on Didact's ship, Skye had just had a vision of Middle-Earth, Didact is in his room fising his armor, Galadriel is injured and passed out.)

Quill woke up thanks to Murphy's licks to his face. "Hey quit it... Wow, what happened?" Quill got up. He remembers being entangled in Mithril and he passed out.

"Hi Quill. Glad to see you're awake. Do you know where I can get some bandages? And some... er... whatever soothes burns. Galadriel was burned quite a bit during the battle." Skye asked.

Quill rubbed his head and grabbed his bag. He took out a piece of aloe vera and some used bandages. "Anything else? The Aloe Vera is the only thing to heal burns." Murphy jumped unto the Aloe Vera and began to bite it.

Skye pulled the Murphy away from the Aloe Vera, as she looked at it.
"I don't suppose you know how to use it?" She asked. She herself had no idea.

(Ironically, Aloe Vera is the name of a plant too)

"just use it as sunscreen." Quill picked up Murphy, who was hissing at Skye. Quill grabbed a comic book and began to read it.

"Please follow the green marks to the Medi-Bay." Said the AI. Green marks appeared on the floor, leading through a hatch to the left and to the hallway beyond that.

The Didact sighed as sparks came off his armor. He referred to his HUD. He had managed to bring it up to the fifty percent mark. He had also patched up his broken ribs. He continued with the repairs. A walk in the park. A milk run. A recconisance. the Didact remembered what the Councillors had said.

"Thank you." Skye said, sarcasm thick in her voice. She quickly finished rubbing the Aloe Vera on Galadriel's burns, and then dashed to the Madi-Bay, looking for a splint for herself.

The AI seemed to be immune to sarcasm. "You're welcome!" It replied cheerily.

The Didact finished replacing his armor. With the help of a Accelerated Tissue Replacement Machine, some welders and depleting one of the energy spare energy cores, he had managed to more or less fully repair his armor. Though it was heavy to put on piece by piece, when it all came together, the weight disappeared. He marvelled at the effectiveness of the MJOLNIR Power Armor. It was like being a walking starship. He walked back into the control room. "Anything new?" He asked the AI. "No sir."
"Then enable Active Camoflague and set us down in that clearing."
The AI obeyed wordlessly.

"I swear, AI are so annoying..." Skye muttered, as she entered the Medi-Bay. There, she quickly constructed a makeshift splint for her broken wings. She mentally thanked whatever powers that be that most Mutants were in fact less capable of feeling pain.

Carloti had been hunting for food when she first caught sight of the strange ship. She'd never seen anything like it before but it certainly seemed powerful. It probaly wasn't one of her best ideas but she decided to investigate. Strapping on her makeshift wings and begins to glide after the ship, using her control of air to keep from falling. Maybe there would be more people inside, it had been so long since she'd seen another person, she thought to her self wistfully.

"Touchdown." Said the AI. The Didact dropped the ramp and stepped outside. He sweeped the immediate area. Deciding it was clear, he gestured that it was safe to come off. They a were in a clearing, somewhere in the middle of a jungle. The Didact looked around. He took two steps forward and jumped up and down on the spot... and fell straight through the ground. "As I thought." He muttered, getting up and dusting himself off. He flicked a switch and lights came on, revealing lots of dusty Forerunner machinery and weapons.

"Am I going to get an explanation from you, or will I have to search your mind?" Galadriel said, as she quietly walked behind Didact. Her eyes were softly glowing, actively searching for other life forms. She found one. A Mutant.

"It seems we have company." She softly said. 'Skye, where are you? We have company.'

'Friend or foe?'

'I am uncertain.'

"Third assault for Earth, millions of years ago. The Forerunners threw this together as a temporary base. Hasn't changed much." He said. He flicked another switch and panels lining the walls came online. "Scanning. Please confirm identity." Beeped an AI. "Ur-Didact and friends." He said. After a second of whirring, the AI replied. "Confirmed. Welcome back." said the AI. "Security systems up."
"Thank you, Roland, that'll be all." The Didact said, referring to the AI by name.
