The U.S.S. Monroe-A and U.S.S. Hawke had delivered Ambassador Smith safely to Earth, they were now on patrol soon picked up something on sensors,
"Ferengi D'Kora in orbit of Taleebia II" reported Lt. Tanner.
"Hail it" ordered Captain Reyes Valdez.
"Kapitan" answered Ensign Emden as he put thehail through.
A Ferengi appeared on the screen,
"Starfleet, why do you always ruin my business?" asked the Ferengi Daimon.
"Madran, you are a wanted fugitive and you are hereby placed under arrest" answered Reyes.
Madran just closed the channel and raised shields.
"Tanner, kindly knock out Madran's weapons and engines" ordered Reyes.
"Lt. Biggs, knock their shields and secondary command processors out please" ordered Captain Diana Petrova aboard the U.S.S. Hawke.
"Ma'am" answered Biggs.
Both ships fired on Madran leaving him dead in the water,
"Starfleet, you've damaged my ship. Would be a shame if I were to jettison my cargo, they would not live long so back off!!" snapped Madran.
"He's got people aboard in his hold" said Emden to Reyes.
"He was a slaver when Starfleet first dealt with him in 2409, they shut down his operation. On New Romulus, he tried to have a Starfleet team ambushed and killed in a warehouse. He's also linked to an ambush on a Starfleet team on K-13 in 2410 and the sale of protomatter to the Tzenkethi, protomatter that was used to wipe out billions" reported Lt. Cmdr Anna Valdez Valdez bringing up Madran's record.
"Lock transporters on him and beam him to a containment cell" ordered Reyes to Tanner.
"Sir" answered Tanner as Madran appeared in the Monroe's brig.
"Anna, take your men and free those people" ordered Reyes.
"Barnes, meet me in transporter room two with a team" ordered Anna to Sgt. Barnes via combadge before leaving for the transporter room .
Once Madran's ship was searched and secured, the slaves in the hold were freed and transferred to the colony of Taleebia II, the D'Kora was then scuttled after all intel had been taken from the computers after the team returned to the Monroe.
In the cells, Anna got to work questioning Madran,
"Tell me this, why operate in shady business?" asked Anna.
"Profit is the only thing that matters, you Starfleet types keep ruining my business" answered Madran, "If you let me go I could give you your own personal moon and Latinum" he said afterwards trying to bribe Anna.
"Listen very carefully, this uniform is the only thing stopping me nailing you to the nearest bulkhead by your lobes. I do not take bribes and if you try to bribe me again, I will see to it that you end up in your own vision of hell. We clear?" asked Anna.
For the next hour, Madran was questioned by Anna as she used his own record against him.
On the bridge, Reyes ordered,
"Red Alert, all hands to your battle stations" as the crew rushed to their stations.
"Barnes, make sure Madran is kept closely guarded" ordered Anna.
"Ma'am" answered Barnes as Anna left for the bridge.
"Emden, what have we got?" asked Reyes.
"Two ships, pulling up registry now" answered Emden, "NCC-1318, I.S.S. Baltimore. Shepard class and NCC-1790, I.S.S. Roma, Constitution class, mid 2250s" he finished with in his report.
"Diana, you crew combat ready?" asked Reyes via secured channel.
"We'll deal with the Roma, you deal with the Baltimore" answered Petrova as the Baltimore and Roma launched an attack on the two Federation ships.
"Tanner, aim here and here" ordered Reyes as he showed Tanner the weak points on the Baltimore.
"Sir, phasers and quantums locked" answered Tanner.
"Fire" ordered Reyes.
The Monroe-A's volley hit home as the Baltimore took a direct hit to the saucer.
"Biggs, target the Roma. Let's end this quickly" ordered Petrova.
"Ma'am" answered Biggs.
Madran took the chance and activated a secret transporter and stole a shuttle before leaving during the confusion.
As both sets of ships fought each other, sensors picked up a chroniton storm heading towards them, the two Terran ships were caught in the storm and when they emerged, they all found themselves in a different place,
Both sets of ships resumed the battle and soon an unidentified vessel appeared and opened fire on the Terrans, Captains Ash Dawson (red) and Captain Hunter (red) both tried to flee but were captured and brought aboard Lair.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
During a mock battle with the I.V. Star Union, they had accidentally launched a real probe. It fired on the Dragon's Lair and Kerry ordered a halt to the battle then did a cold reboot of the computer.
However, during the reboot process, the virus revealed it had one more nasty trick up its' sleeve as it threatened to overload the Lair's temporal circuits!
Kerry and his chief engineer, together with a crack engineering team, got to work repairing the problem before the circuits went critical.
Though they tried to fix the circuits in time, soon it was too late.
"Look out! It's going to blow!" Kerry bellowed as they backed off, quickly. "All hands, brace for impact! Temporal circuit discharge imminent!"
The circuit didn't explode as Kerry predicted, but it did fire a stream of particles into space. "Damn, well at least the ship didn't blow up."
A few seconds later, the extent of the damage was revealed. A massive chroniton storm front appeared and then disappeared into the timestream, travelling through both time and space. "Damnit, I'll have to call this into Temporal Command. That chroniton storm is going to cause displaced ships and other temporal incidents."
Just as he got back up to the bridge, his science officer said, "Sir, two ships have appeared off our starboard bow, out of the storm."
"The other two are Mirror ships. I.S.S. Baltimore, Shepard-class and I.S.S. Roma, Constitution-class. 23rd century, both Discovery era."
"Hold on, I'm also seeing... No, it was nothing."
"Wait! Graviton emissions spiking, sir! There's a beam of gravitons headed straight for the Mirror ships!" said his weapons officer, an eager DCN redscale Lieutenant named Ash.
"Both MU ships destroyed, though they launched one escape shuttle each before they were destroyed. Said escape shuttles were picked up by us."
Kerry scratched his scaly chin for a sec, then said, "All right, let the Star Union and Preliator know we've got visitors."
"Sir!" replied the communications officer.
He sat back and murmured, quietly, "Could it have been?" about the mystery ship, as if there was something familiar about it.
His communications officer then spoke up. "Channel open sir."
Kerry stood up and growled, in a pleasant tone of voice, "This is Fleet Admiral Kerry Freeman aboard the Draconian Cosmo Navy Ship, 'Dragon's Lair' along with the Federation starship Preliator and the Iconian vessel Star Union."
"Welcome to the Andromeda galaxy, year 4414. I apologize for the rough entry into our time period, as it was due to a malfunction in our temporal circuits causing that chroniton storm we just experienced."
"To whom do I have the pleasure of addressing?"
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
He sighed and said, "Where there's one Terran there will always be more. Well, they'll be a pain in the tail later but right now, the least we can do is the favor of sending them to the grave quickly. Annihilate them."
"You got it sir," answered Kerry's tactical officer, firing a spread of current-century ammo that was guaranteed to one-hit kill their 23rd century enemy,
Afterwards he turned to his temporal operations officer. "Speaking of accidents, where's that chroniton storm now?"
The dragon in question turned to him and reported, "The chroniton storm is currently in the Discovery era, and has interacted with an ion storm causing the ISS Discovery to jump forward to the 25th century."
"It's on course to Earth, where it will eventually intersect the Pacific Ocean in the 20th century, near Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii. Stopping twice in that century, both times transporting the aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Nimitz."
Kerry was suddenly reminded of a movie. "Dear Godith. The Final Countdown really happened and we're the cause."
"Excuse me sir?" said Kerry's XO.
"I'll explain later, XO. Suffice it to say, we're doing movie night tonight." Kerry replied. "Channel resume."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"Mayday, Mayday, this is the Executor-class Star Destroyer, Defiant! We have just performed an unplanned hyperspace jump and our engines are malfunctioning!
To any Imperial ships in range, this is a Code Zero emergency broadcast! Pursued by Rebel Alliance forces, we are dead in space! Coming out of hyperspace near your coordinates!"
"Mayday, mayday, mayday!"
Just then a massive arrowhead-shaped ship appeared out of nowhere, right in front of them. Nobody followed, and the ship soon ceased transmitting normally for reasons unknown, most likely because of the unplanned, unshielded transdimensional jump, though there was still an automated distress call.
"BATTLESTATIONS!" Kerry snarled, after returning to the bridge. "Launch fighters and light frigates for escort duty! And get an engineering and salvage team over to that ship, I want its' viability assessed."
"Someone get a tractor beam on that thing!"
He called down to the hangar via the intercom. "Sorry to ask for your help so soon, my friends, but we seem to have an emergency on our hands."
Then he turned to his communications officer, Lieutenant Arkady, and said, "Call for reinforcements at once."
"Will do, sir," replied Arkady, as he turned to his console and contacted the Albion.
Meanwhile, a large 23rd century Terran fleet appeared in the distance. They'd heard the distress call too, and were moving to try and take over the Executor and its' many onboard weapons and fighters.
"Damn, looks like we've got one hell of fight on our hands."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"Yes sir!" replied Lieutenant Carter,
"Ready on flight deck! Launch all fighters and light frigates! Stand by for action, we're going in!" ordered Commander Marcus, Kerry's XO, as the call for pilots rang out on the habitation deck, cued up by Juan, Kerry's Operations officer. "All pilots to your ships!"
.
"With pleasure!" replied Alfred von Strasz, the Gorn light frigate ace.
"Erich, Dump auxiliary power to shields and weapons. Activate Red Matter Capacitor and supercharge the EPS grid."
"And bring the Stellar Dragonfire Cannon online, but don't connect it to the grid yet."
"Yes sir!" replied Kerry's chief engineer.
"Max plasma torpedo spreads on my mark! Target the lead enemy ship!"
Ash growled eagerly. "All right! Pure, unadulterated battle! Just how I like it!"
"CMO Nightingale, I hope you're ready for potential casualties!"
"As always, Admiral," came the reply, a calm, cool purr. That dragoness was incredible under pressure.
"Weapps, fire when ready!" Kerry growled, as the lair opened up.
The Star Union now deployed her strike groups they joined up with the light frigates and other fighters to form a mobile skirmish line across the front of the fleet to give fire support to the Lair.
Aboard the Terran flagship, the Terran admiral in charge formed his fleet into a three dimensional arrowhead formation to try and pierce the allied lines in the centre. As the Terran strike carriers got to within platform range, they were hit by a wall of weapons fire from the torpedo and Spiral Wave disruptor platforms as the Lair's weapons hit home followed by volleys of antiproton, phasers and torpedoes.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"All hands, this is the Admiral! Engage targets at will!"
"Weapps, activate point defense systems and assist in mowing those hostile fighters and frigates down!"
"Roger!" growled Ash, fully in the groove. He really did love to fight.
"Captain" answered the Herald of T'Ket.
"Sir, understood, covering your flank now" answered Raul before the Lair closed the channel.
The Star Union was also joined by the Preliator who moved to reinforce the support line as a fleet of Albion warships warped in and formed a shield phalanx on the flanks.
Aboard the Terran command ship, the Terran admiral ordered,
"All ships, increase speed. Let's deal with these pests" as the Terran fleet ran a gauntlet of fire. The Albion fleet repulsed wave after wave of attack as the Mirs and Baltims covered EMP probe attacks on the Terran flanks.
In space, the allies now prepared their trap as a strange signal appeared. As the Terran fleet launched another assault, a graviton beam hit the Terran command ship destroying it in an instant. The signal then disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.
"What just happened?" asked Raul.
"My god, what was that?" asked Crown Prince Edward.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"Admiral Freeman to all allied ships, I need you to surround the enemy and keep them from escaping."
"Engineering, connect final EPS circuit to the SDC. Activate neutronium armor and recall fighters clear of the danger zone. That Terran fleet is about to get cooked."
Once the fighters were clear, Kerry bellowed with a savage roar, "HOSTILE TERRANS, PREPARE FOR OBLIVION! BAHAMUT'S FLAME!"
"Probes, target their engines subsystems" ordered Raul.
"Probes on attack runs" answered his intel officer.
The Allied fleet now formed the pincer and soon the Terrans were trapped like a rat in a barrel.
An almighty explosion now tore through the Terran fleet, those Terran ships and crews who had survived all struck their colours and surrendered.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"As It is you are in violation of the Valdez treaty, between the United Terran Federation of both Mirror Universes and the United Federation of Planets of this one. As such you are under arrest, to be treated as prisoners of war until which point as you are returned. In addition your ships are to be confiscated by the UFP as agreed upon by the treaty."
He nodded to Ash, who deployed a virus to the ships in order to lock them down and prevent them from self-destructing.
"Your ships are now on computerized lockdown. Any attempts to activate auto-destruct mechanisms will result in consequences."
He closed the channel and sighed, glad that was over. He hated dealing with hostile Terrans, present company excepted.
"Sir" answered Sara Maria, "Ermey, picked marines only on this and meet me in transporter room 2. We're on security" she ordered via combadge as she left the bridge.
"Ma'am" and Sgt Ermey.
The teams beamed onto the bridge and and got to work treating the injured Imperial survivors,
"Triage, only help those we can save. Those we cannot help, make as comfortable as possible" ordered Sara Maria as the marines covered the bridge entrance.
The engineering teams were now beamed onto the bridge as scans were taken of the systems. By time the engineers had finished putting the schematics together, they were shocked at the size,
"19 km long, we're going to need more people on this" reported Graves.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
He stood up, as did Ash, and called down to Main Engineering. "Erich, have a team report to transporter room one. Anthro forms, there's no room for our full size anywhere but the hangar bay on that ship."
"Ja, Captain. I can hardly believe we're transporting aboard an Executor-class Star Destroyer, though I'll try to contain my excitement."
"Good dragon," Kerry replied. "Let's go."
Winton Ketchum-Chew (SAV Fenris)
Royal log 4409: My engineers are refitting the Fenris with upgrades in preparation for the Andromeda Expedition. I am the Sol Alliance’s representative and the Council has authorized me to take part with our Federation allies. My sister is running day to day operations while I’m away so that kills 2 birds with one stone. This will be an exciting journey for me and my crew. End log
I’m in the admiral’s chair with my XO (Capt. Hale) to my right. My bridge crew are at their stations as the Fenris remains in the yard for final upgrades. My combadge chirps and I tap it with my flipper. My Chief Engineer says, “Your Majesty, upgrades are complete and functional.”
“Thank you Chief. Lt., open a channel to Starbase Unova.” I order.
“Sir. Opening channel now.” Lt. Raven says.
“Starbase Unova, this is King Winton Ketchum-Chew requesting permission to undock.” I request politely.
“Permission granted Your Majesty. Safe travels.” The docking officer says.
The ship’s Mana Drives purr as it undocks from the starbase and goes to the edge of the Pokeworld system. I order a deceleration burn so the ship can come to a full stop. Suddenly, a purple ship of unknown configuration appears in the system. My comms officer says, “Your Majesty, the unknown ship is hailing us.”
“Open a channel. Let’s see what our guest wants.” I order. The viewscreen flickers and eventually shows a strange alien who is talking to one of her subordinates. She says, “I am L’Miren of the Iconian Empire. To whom do I have the pleasure of addressing?”
“I am King Winton Ketchum-Chew of the Pokemon World and commanding officer of the Sol Alliance vessel Fenris.” I reply.
“Well met Your Majesty. I am inviting you to take part in the Andromeda Expedition. I hope you and your crew are prepared for the challenges ahead.” says L’Miren
“L’Miren, my crew and I are prepared for what lies ahead.” I confidently reply.
“Good. I will guide your ship to the Andromeda gateway.” L’Miren says. Our ships transwarp out of the system to the Andromeda gate and enter it. A short while later, we exit the other side and arrive in a new galaxy. My science officer interrupts the moment and says, “Your Highness, there are a lot of ships here. Some of them are Federation with Draconic signatures, but there is one I can’t identify.”
“Heh, interesting. Lt. Raven, hail the lead ship.” I order.
“Opening channel.” she responds.
“This is King Winton Ketchum-Chew aboard the Sol Alliance Fenris. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?”
THE END.
"Simba, you have forgotten me. You have forgotten who you are … you are my son and the one true king." (Mufasa)
"Sir, We'll have a marine detachment meet you in the hanger" answered Raul,
"Sir understood" he answered afterwards.
On the bridge of the Defiant, the engineers were now bringing more systems on line as they worked off the schematics,
"Ermey, take a marine and MACO detachment to the hanger, we'll be transporting you there" ordered Graves.
"Sir" answered Ermey before she organised her team and transported to the hanger.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"SAV Fenris, glad you could finally make it. This is Fleet Admiral Kerry Freeman aboard the DCNS Dragon's Lair. Our companions are the Federation starship Preliator and the Iconian vessel Star Union, along with several Albion ships."
"The large triangular vessel is a visiting ship from another dimension, the Executor-class Star Destroyer Defiant, now under Federation control. I was just about to board her, if you would care to join us."
Once they'd beamed over to the Defiant, Kerry was suitably impressed, though he and several of his crew were trying hard not to 'geek out'. Here they were on an actual Super Star Destroyer, in a scene right out of a movie.
As they moved through to on their way to the bridge, receiving status reports the whole way, Kerry opened one of the doors on Deck 25 and gasped at what he saw.
In a hushed, almost awed voice, he said, "It cannot be..."
"Grand Admiral Thrawn himself!"
He backed off before closing the door, collecting and tapping his commbadge. "Security to Deck two-five. I have a high value unit here and I may need protection."
"You, needing protection?" joked a random redshirt. "That's a new one."
Kerry merely growled, annoyed, before saying, "Just get those damn security officers down here, all right?"
With a gulp, the man acknowledged and sent the call out.
"My name is Sgt. Ermey of the Alliance Marine Corps, we're not your enemy" said Ermey as she hand signalled her marines to to prepare some stun grenades.
"Which Alliance? The only Alliance I know are the Rebel Alliance" asked Thrawn.
"We're not Rebel Alliance, you've come from another dimension" answered Ermey.
"And yet you have invaded an Imperial ship, may I ask why?" countered Thrawn.
"Most of your crew is dead, we answered your crew's distress call" answered Ermey.
"But you are not Imperial" replied Thrawn.
"I'm asking you to order your crew to stand down, they will be treated well" answered Ermey.
"You mean handed over to the Rebels as war criminals" answered an Imperial officer who promptly fired a blaster out of the room. The marines rolled stun grenades into the room and then breached it stunning the Imperial officer who had fired. Thrawn impressed by the marines' efficiency gave the order for the survivors on his crew to stand down.
Over the next few hours, the Imperial survivors were rounded up by marines, MACOs and security across the whole ship. Thrawn was then escorted up to the bridge by Ermey and her marines.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
"Grand Admiral, I'm Kerry Freeman, Fleet Admiral of the Draconian Cosmo Navy."
"As you can probably see, and as you've likely heard from the Marines who escorted you here, we are in a different dimension entirely from your own."
"If you desire, I'll take you over to my ship so that you may see evidence of this."
"Also, Grand Admiral, since you're here, I have a proposition for you. One that I believe you will find most interesting, especially considering your own past and who you are preparing to fight deep in the Unknown Regions of your own galaxy, and your former rivalry with the late woman you codenamed Nightswan."
"Oh, one more thing. Since we found your ship disabled and without power, we have claimed it under salvage laws here in our dimension. We will return you to yours, but the ship and its' equipment, stays."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
