[b5bg2.txt - B5/BSG Crossover, 2] Chapter 2 Enroute to Babylon 5 Apollo Journal: Ever since the we have contacted Captain Zubrin of the Whitestar which belongs to the Interstellar Alliance which Earth is part of. The spirits of the fleet has risen. There are parities all over, which has gone beyond normal. Everyone on the Rising Star to the smallest ship on the fleet everyone was celebrating like there is no tomorrow. Even the warriors on the Galactica are celebrating except for Blue Squadron. Even though the Whitestar ships are help protecting us on the way to Babylon 5, I still need the best squadron to guard us. Even though we had not heard from the cylons my gut feeling is that they are still out there. Where I don't know, but I feel that the final battle will be coming soon. The book of word mentioned the final battle with the enemy would be fought and won at the side of our brothers. At the officers club the warriors were drunk beyond belief. The warriors of Red, Gold, and Silver Spar Squadrons. Except for the warriors or the Blue Squadron. They were on duty. Boomer and Troy walked in after going on patrol. Allowed only one drink Boomer and Troy decided to have one. "Hey Boomer I thought you hotshots can't drink!" yelled Jolly the leader of Red Squadron. Boomer smiled. Hey knew that Jolly was joking. He also knew that Jolly was drunk beyond belief. All of the sudden a vibration was felt throughout the Battlestar. Another Whitestar had jumped out of hyperspace. "Great another Whitestar, how many is that Boomer?" asked Troy. "About 20" said Boomer. " Do they know about the Cylons?" asked Troy. "No, the reason why is that there are raiders in this area. They feel we can't stand up to them. Discovering us was just luck," said Boomer. "Feldergarb" said Troy. "We can handle anyone!" said Troy. "I beg to differ," said Boomer. "With their technology and their ability to appear anywhere we could get caught with a new enemy with our pants down!" said Boomer. "You could be right maybe, but those are the ugliest ships I have seen" said Troy. "They may be ugly but they are protecting us and leading us to Babylon 5. On the bridge, everyone was having a tough time to due his or her duty. Even Colonel Starbuck was having a tough time. "Orion, how long till we get to Babylon 5" asked Starbuck. "3 Standard days Colonel like it was a centaur ago," said Orion without blowing his top. "Ok just checking," said Starbuck. Apollo came into the bridge. "Status Starbuck?" asked Apollo. "All the same people are excited to due their duty. Can't wait to get to Babylon 5" said Starbuck. "Understood" said Apollo. "Commander, we are receiving a transmission from one of the Whitestar!" said Athena. "Put it through," said Apollo. It was Captain Zubrin, the person for whom the fleet has contacted. Their first contact and proof that Earth exists "Apollo I have an idea that could make your travel time cut down a lot. How due you feel in putting the Galactica in hyperspace?" "What? How?" asked Apollo. "Simple there is a jump gate nearby in Minbari space," said Captain Zubrin. "I have asked them and you have permission to go into their space and use their jump gate," said Captain Zubrin. "I don't know, Starbuck what do you think?" asked Apollo. "I don't know but I say go for it. It could cut down the travel time and it would help Orion" said Starbuck. "Why is that?" asked Apollo. "I think he is going to kill me every time I ask how far we have reached to Babylon 5" said Starbuck. "Well then I guess we have no choice then, Captain how far to the jump gate?" "Only a hour of standard Earth time" said Captain Zubrin. "There is one more thing will any of our ships get lost?" asked Apollo. "No, with all of the Whitestar ships they will guide them to Babylon 5. I'll guide you," said Captain Zubrin. "Let me address the fleet, Orion recall our patrols and set course to the jump gate" ordered Apollo. "Yes Commander" said Orion. "Athena patch me through the unicom and let me address the fleet" "Yes Apollo" said Athena. The cylons were coming after the Pegasus like there is no tomorrow. Along with the Cylons, Baltar, the greatest traitor of them all. Baltar was thinking after the destruction of the Pegasus, he would be the greatest warrior among the cylons. Destroying Commander Cain and then the fleet. Unknown to him next to the Pegasus was the Minbari warship, Starlite. On the Pegasus, Tolen noticed saw something that he wished he did not see. A cylon invasion force. In his quarters Commander Cain and Captain Lavaar was discussing things while enroute to Babylon 5. "Commander there is a cylon invasion force this way. It looks like a whole basestar worth of ships," said Tolen. "Alright launch the remaining vipers and may the Lords of Kobol be on our side," said Cain. "Commander may I help you. Some Minbari contain the souls of human. Don't ask us how but we do. Any enemy of the human race is an enemy of the Minbari," said Lavaar. "Let me patch to my ship. I'll order the fighters to help you Cain," said Lavaar. "By all means we could use some help nowadays," said Cain. "Lavaar, would care to join me on the bridge?" asked Cain. "Sure," said Lavaar. Off they went to the bridge to fight the cylons. As the remaining vipers were being launched from the Pegasus and Minbari fighters was launching from the Starlite. Standing in the background in all white was man who led his people from the home worlds was standing in the bridge. His name was Adama. "Don't worry my friend, you will survive this battle. In time to fight the final battle with our brothers," said Adama to himself. Then all of the sudden he turned into light. The light went to a great huge a ship of lights. The ship of lights, unknown to the scanners of the Pegasus, the Starlite, and the Cylon invasion force, went to Babylon 5. Baltar thought to himself, a very good thing was going to be happening. That was going to change. "Sir we are picking unknown ships heading for this direction," said one of the Centurions. "What do you mean by that? Can you scan the life forms?" asked Baltar. "Negative, we are unable to scan the ships," said the Centurion. We can see those ships! Baltar thought to himself. How can that be! No, Adama was right there is an Earth and the Earth humans have this type of technology, there is one thing to do. "Pull back, tell all of the ships to pull back!" ordered Baltar. The cylons turned back heading for the basestar that they came from. Except for Baltar. Baltar was heading for the basestar that carried the Imperious Leader. "Where are we going?" Baltar asked? "By the orders of the Imperious Leader, you no longer in command in the basestar. Lucifer is in command," said the Centurion. Baltar day went from good to bad to worse. He knows the outcome of his life. What happened to the Cylons? Cain thought I have never seen the Cylons turn back from the fight. Unless Baltar was in command. "So much the for the fight," said Captain Lavaar. "I don't understand Captain, in all my yarhens of fighting Cylons, I have never seen this happened before," said Cain. "Except for one time," "When was this?" asked Captain Lavaar. "Nearly 20 yarhens ago, I have meet the fleet at Gomorrah and they needed fuel. Anyway the Cylons launched a surprised attack thinking it was only the Galactica.Well I came in from behind and then the Cylons retreated. I think Baltar was in command that time," said Cain. "So do you think that the fact they saw us they left?" asked Captain Lavaar. "Yes," said Cain. "Tolen have a couple of vipers do a quick reckon and have them land. After they land set course for Babylon 5.," ordered Cain. "Yes sir!" said Tolen. After the vipers did the reckon the Pegasus followed the Minbari warship Starlite. Heading for a jump gate and then head for Babylon 5. The fleet finally arrived at the jump gate. "Status Starbuck?" "All ships are ready and all vipers are done form recon," said Starbuck. "Ok Athena contact the Whitestar and tell Captain Zubrin we are all ready to go,", ordered Apollo. "Yes commander", said Athena. "Yes Apollo I take it you and your fleet ready to jump?" asked Captain Zubrin. "Yes, but a lot of people here are nervous," said Apollo. "Understandable, but don't worry everything will be alright just follow us and we will be at Babylon 5 in only of matter of hours instead of days," said Captain Zubrin. "All right lets get going Orion, just follow the Whitestar and head for Babylon 5," ordered Apollo. The Whitestar moved forward acitivating the jump gate. Dragging the Galactica and the rag tag fugitive fleet into hyperspace. Not far behind was the Pegasus and the Starlite heading for Babylon 5 entered the jump gate. It was only a matter of time the final battle will be fought there. 18 Days to the final battle
