The Battle - A Babylon5 and Battlestar Galactica Crossover Story.

by Kevin Davis

Prologue:

The End of Time, The Beginning of Time.

Sire Davis Journal: The colony on Earth was going ahead of schedule. Ever
since the exodus from our home planet Kobol, we have been searching for a
new home and we found our new home. Originally we came in 20 colonial
ships. We arrived in 15 colonial ships. 5 ships settled on the planet
called Terra. Earth Capital City is called Atlantis. One of the beautiful
cities on Earth. We also settled on the 4th planet in the solar system. Not
as big as Earth but it is good enough. I hope we have learned the lessons
that we learned on the planet Kobol., but I also wonder about the fate of
our brothers in the planetary system that has 12 planets. I hope they are
doing well.

In the Vorlon Empire, there was a discussion about the human race. "The
humans are the key to the future to win this war", said the Vorlon leader.
"They are potential Allies" "We must make contact them with them and they
are the key to this and in the next war against our enemies." said the
Vorlon leader. "Any objections?" There was none "Then we shall send the
Minbari to make contact with the Humans. The Humans and the Minbari will
fight together side by side." said the Vorlon leader. "Kosh, give word to
the Minbari right away." "Yes"

Aboard the Battlestar Lemuria, Commander Zeus in his quarters and speaking
to his journal. "Any centaur we leave to explore the quadrant we are living
in now. There are rumors that there is another species in this quadrant. We
hope to make contact with them. Maybe form a Interstellar Alliance."
Commander Zeus was interrupted when a message came for him. "Commander
Zeus" "Yes Colonel Odin" "We have strange readings can you come to the
Bridge and check these Commander?" asked Colonel Odin. "On my way" said
Commander Zeus. When Zeus arrived on the Bridge he asked the Colonel what
is the status. "A fleet of ships has arrived out of nowhere sir" said
Colonel Odin. "Athena try to raise them" ordered Zeus. "Yes Commander" It
was too late, the ships that entered were the Shadows. They too had a plan
for the humans but it was a different one. They feared the humans. As soon
they arrived, they opened fire. In an instant the Lemuria was destroyed.
While the Battlestar Atlantis, (Which was stationed above the fourth
planet) was able to get a shot and was able to damage a Shadow ship.
Sending the ship crashing into the surface, which was to remain there for
along time, but like the Lemuria, the Atlantis was destroyed by the
shadows. Meanwhile on Earth, Sire Davis went into the command center after
he hears what happened. "Report Commander" said Sire Davis. "Ships just
appeared out of nowhere, and destroyed the Lemuria and reports that they
are attacking the outpost on the fourth planet" "Anyway we could stop them
from destroying the fourth planet?" "No" On the planet Ares, there is
turmoil. As each Shadow ship bombarded Ares with each weapon, the
atmosphere is becoming frozen as the dust enters the Atmosphere. The final
blow to Ares came when a weapon struck a fusion power plant. Ares was void
of life for many centuries. "Sire Davis, we have lost contact with Ares"
said the Commander. "What the frack is going on here", pondered Davis. "I
don't know, all I know is that the Alien fleet is heading for Earth shall I
put the rest of the fleet on alert??" asked the Commander. "Yes if we fail
the human civilization on this planet shall perish." "Attention Battlestar
fleet, intercept the Alien Spacecraft" The reaming Battlestars, The
Olympia, The Poseid, The Libertia, The Ares, and The Io, in formation in
what could be the last battle at the new colony at Earth. They were no
match for the Shadows. Once the Shadows arrived in Earth orbit, the
Battlestars were instantly destroyed. In the command center, "Sire Davis,
the Battlestars have been destroyed" "It is hopeless, sir" said the
commander. "Well then I guess it is The End of Time, The Beginning of Time"
said Sire Davis. "I hope we can rebuild". Then the attack began. The
Shadows started to attack Earth. Everywhere there was death and
destruction, Cities where once stood now is mere rubble. All of the
technology gone. The Shadows left the system except for another, which was,
damaged it crashed on the moon of the biggest planet. The island where
Atlantis once stood is now under the ocean. All records of the past
destroyed. It will be until for another 18,000 years will mankind go back
into space. It will be another 18,000 years is when the human race will
make a difference that would make a difference. In Epsilon Sector, a
station appeared out of nowhere. Some Minbari scouts notice something a
strange. The shadow war was going bad. They needed hope. They needed a
place to fight the Shadows. As they entered the station somebody named
Zatrhas was waiting for them. "Come on" "Come this way" "All of the sudden
three figures appeared. A Minbari who isn't a Minbari, two Vorlons as
Minbari angels. "I am Valen" said the Minbari. "We have work to do." They
were puzzled, but they accepted the gift. Valen became the symbol of the
Minbari people. 

On the Planet Cylon a war was going on. It was the war between the machines
and the organics. The organics are losing. Only a few remaining pockets
remain. In the Cylon capital the new Imperious Leader was alone but talking
to you. "We are almost done removing the remaining organic Cylons. When we
are done we shall be in service of you." Said the Imperious Leader. "Good
my assciotates shall be pleased". "I hope you know that you are just mere
servants to them and when the time is right. You shall serve them," said
Iblis. "I understand," said the Imperious Leader. "Let us prepare the
galaxy for them, that way they have more power!" "Of Course" said Iblis. "I
must go now. Good luck!" said Iblis. When Iblis left the main chamber a
shadow appeared behind him. "I know my friend I know you need the Cylons so
you could win the war, but they are not ready yet". While the shadows are
fighting the Minbari the Cylons were building up a war machine, only hope
to be ready to serve their shadow masters.
