Hello again everyone, I'm here again now with chapter 7, and for those of you who are reading, this is story will take while seeing that I have higher prioty stories I'm working on, "The Photograph" and a few others under construction.
Okay now I like to thank acosta perez jose ramiro for your review, and thanks for enjoying it and I hope you like this one.
I also like to thank DarthRoden aka Carl for your belated review. I really apprietiated it coming from you, and I hope also you like this one as well, and with the references made.
Oh just FYI, as some you may have guessed, time travel would be in the story, so as I wrote it I had to consider all the times, time travel was done in the show and movies, and a lot of them were not of the federations's choice, seeing how they estabished the Temporal Prime Directive, that enforces non interferrence with the timeline, but there have been cases where that Directive flies out the window. So I went with the method from "Star Trek IV The Voyage Home" so don't get mad at me if the method doesn't make sense, but then again you try coming up with a method of time travel. Anyway here it is chapter 7...
“Hey Arnold”
A New Frontier
Chapter 7
The Irken invasion came in full strength and met the Federation, Klingon, and Vulcan ships head on. The battle started out as a stand still with both sides taking hardly any major hits, and the severe numbers of Federation, Klingon, and Vulcan ships started to over throw the Irken invasion, but just as the lead ship and one of its support ships were taking heavy damage, a second wave of Irken forces came out of a form transwarp conduit. The second invasion force almost literally came out on top of the federation forces. There were two lead ships that were bigger than the other lead vessel, it shared it’s shape and color, but its armament surpassed that of the other. Along with the three ships they were joined by nearly three support ships that were the same as the previous lead ship. Admiral Wartz watched in horror from the bridge of the U.S.S. Washington as the one of the lead ships stared them down. “Oh my god…” Wartz drifted off in the shock of seeing such a huge vessel. Captain Scott walked up behind him while starring at the screen. “Sir-“ Then he was interrupted by the tactical officer. “Captain, they’re powering up their forward weapons.” Scott knew his ship wasn’t going to survive this encounter, “Diver all power to the forward-“ Before he could finish his sentence the ship opened fire with all of weapons. The blue haze of the shields lit up over the Galaxy class starship from the fire of Irken ship. It was only a matter minutes before the shields here gone, and bolts of purple energy tore apart the hull of the ship, then suddenly one bolt stretched across and stuck the bridge right on and in a spilt second the bridge was gone in a ray of debris flying back across the ship.
Arnold shuddered at the sight of the rent less destruction of Admiral’s ship, then as quickly as they appeared they spread out and started their attack on the surrounding ships. “Miss Pataki, ready a full volley of transphasic torpedoes, and target that ship.” He didn’t need to instruct which one precisely, as everyone on the bridge knew full well which he was talking about. She simple nodded as she received the order and armed the torpedoes and set in the target. “Ready.” Arnold nodded to her and turned back to the screen. “Pierce, get us a clear shot.” “Aye sir.” The ship set off at full impulse dodging ship debris as they made their way through for a clear shot. Miss Pataki, as soon as we have a clear shot, take it,” She just nodded again and waited till she could fire. A few seconds pass and the Pierce maneuvered the ship and finally a clear view of the Irken ship, and with that Helga fired without hesitation. Four streaks of orange light flew across space and scored a direct hit on the ship’s hull, their shields glowing bright purple from the hit. “Sir, there shields are only down by 15 percent.” Said Phoebe from the Ops station. Everyone on the bridge knew there was no hope for the federation or any other race in the Alpha quadrant if the Irkens aren’t stopped here and now.
Arnold sat down in his chair, “Gerald, open a channel to the fleet.” There was a chirp from the console. “Channel open.” Arnold kept his gave at the battle in front of him. “This is Captain Mileson of the Titan, I know you all realize this is a lost cause, and you have all fought bravely in this battle, but I can’t ask you to retreat, we have no where to retreat to, this is it. But we have a plan for defeating this threat, it is risky venue, but if it works, we can defeat the Irken empire. Until we return evacuate the planet and make your final stand here. Good luck to all of you. Mileson out.” He hung his head low in defeat, then he took a deep breath before giving his next order. “Bridge to Lt. Patterson, report to the bridge.” “Aye captain, Patterson out.” Arnold looked over to Pierce at the helm. “Ensign get us to a safe distance, full impulse.” Pierce nodded at him and took the ship out of the battle at full speed. A few minutes later Patterson walked onto the bridge, Arnold turned as he heard the door open. “Lt. please give phoebe a time index for the computer.” Patterson nodded and walked to Phoebe’s station and proceeded to giver her what information he had. “Phoebe do you have time index?” “Yes sir.” Arnold tapped his badge. “Bridge to engineering.” Rhonda’s voice came over thr comm. “Lloyd her captain.” “Lloyd, do you know of any methods of time travel.” “There are some methods captain, I think the easiest would be what Kirk did when he saved earth from the probe.” Arnold remembered those events but not what exactly Kirk did. “How’s that Lloyd?” He asked. “Simple captain, he initiated a course straight for the sun at high warp, his own professional logs indicate the bird of prey reached warp 9.8 as was slung around the sun, causing it to inter some kind of temporal vortex.” Arnold leaned back in his chair. “I see, I’ll send Phoebe down to engineering so you two work together on this, in the mean time, we’ll set course for the sun, Mileson out.”
The ship headed out at full impulse toward the earth’s sun as Phoebe and Rhonda worked on the equations for the jump. “Commander Heyerdahl to Bridge.” “Yes Heyerdahl,” Phoebe continued, “Captain we entered in the equations, their were some variables, availability of fuel components and mass of the vessel through a time continuum, but in all there should be no problem, unlike Kirk he didn’t a have an advance Starfleet ship at his command, so we should be able to hit our target date of June 5th 2007.” Arnold shifted around in his chair. “Good work, prepare for maximum warp.” “Aye Sir, Heyerdahl out.” Arnold stood back in his chair, starring intently at the space in front of him, he never would have believed in his entire career in Starfleet he would be ever traveling in time. “Engage,” Pierce carried out the order and initiated warp drive. “May fortune favor the foolish.” Arnold whispered to himself as the ship went to warp speed. Suddenly the sun was growing much larger as they got closer, and as they did he never could now how it felt doing this same thing in a rickety old Klingon ship that was even out of date when the attempted that insane trick, but it worked and earth was saved yet again by Captain James T. Kirk, and as fate had would have it, it was his turn now. Pierce started calling out their current speed as they approached sun “Warp 7…Warp 8…Warp 9…Warp 9.1…9.2…9.3…9.4…9.5…9.6…9.7…9.8…we have break away threshold” Arnold cried out. “Now Mr. Pierce.” Then just as the ship appears certain to be swallowed by the Sun, a blast of some kind accelerates the ship along the far curve of the great star. Solar flares lick at the bright blur as she Arcs suddenly behind the sun, whipping almost faster than we can see and like a tracer bullet on a circular course, the bright blur emerges from the opposite side of the sun and starts back toward Earth. The ships engines were almost sizzling as it tore its way through the time continuum at break neck speeds.
Arnold no longer could see the bridge in front of him, he drifted into some kind of dream state, images of Helga, Gerald, Phoebe Rhonda, and Lila passed by him aging and regressing before his eyes, all the while he felt like he was floating over a sea of white clouds, although he couldn’t tell exactly was it was, just what it closely resembled. Along with the images of his friends and shipmates, he got flashes of different moments in his life, briefly he saw himself going to Starfleet academy then graduating, then joining his first ship. The images kept going until it reach the present, and in the back of his mind thought it would end there, but to his surprise he was shown glimpses of alternate futures, one where he became Admiral and retiring with Lila as his wife, but suddenly another one cropped up of him and Helga, he was much younger in this one image then the last one, from the looks of it he had retired early, and just as he was looking at him and Helga enjoying the autumn sun, he could hear some kind of rumbling noise grow ever louder and louder until he felt like it was too much, then suddenly the sound climaxed with a bang sound. The ship came out of it’s time warp with the glow fading softly away, the ship rested as the emergency breaking thrusters had fired to keep it from over shooting it’s target destination, for the moment the ship just floated as it waited for the crew to regain consciousness and could continue their mission.
