K.A.T.

By Festus3 festus3@netins.net


Scene opens in the empty vacuum of space. Suddenly a green and violet portal splits the darkness, out of the rift emerges the Voyager.

CRYNOTH: It worked! I can't believe it, this is incredible.

BLACKARACHNIA: Where are we? (She looks out of the view-port,) Not much here. (All they see outside is a cloud of asteroids.)

SILVERBOLT: Is Cybertron here?

CRYNOTH: Just a second, instead of scanning space we can just scan the dimensional wavelength.

AIRRAZOR: Whatever.

B'BOOM: (He looks out into space.) Hope it's out there. (A small blip appears on the screen.)

SILVERBOLT: What's that? (B'boom goes across the keys.)

B'BOOM: It's a ship! A fighter to be exact, it's right between us and the asteroid cloud.

CRYNOTH: Give the computers time to decode its identity. (A blue light comes on and some readings go across the screen.)

INFERNO: (He walks up to it.) Kilrathi? I've never heard of them.

TIGATRON: Why don't we ask them? (Silverbolt opens a hailing frequency.)

SILVERBOLT: Kilrathi ship, do you read us? (There is no answer, the computer's voice comes on.)

COMPUTER: Scan for Cybertron, negative. (Their hearts sink.)

AIRRAZOR: I guess we can't expect it to just pop up in front of us can we?

(B'boom looks out of the view-port and sees something coming in fast.)

B'BOOM: Whoa! Whoa! Missile! (Crynoth dives for the controls, one of his four arms manages to land on the steering mechanism, the ship veers to the right and the missile passes harmlessly by.) It's the fighter, he's shooting at us! (Rapid fire energy bullets start to spray from the fighter.)

INFERNO: We must counter-attack. (Crynoth turns Voyager to face the fighter and moves forward.)

SILVERBOLT: What weapons does this ship have?

CRYNOTH: Uhh, two fusion cannons.

B'BOOM: Oh that's it? (His cynical remark goes unnoticed. The fighter retreats in the direction of the asteroid cloud, the Voyager follows.)

TIGATRON: Something isn't right about this. (As the Voyager approaches the edge of the asteroids the fighter stops, a second later ten more fighters come out from behind their hiding spots among the asteroids.)

BLACKARACHNIA: Slag.

CRYNOTH: Ah! (He veers up and their energy bullets pass a fraction of an inch below the ship.) Here goes. (He levels off and fires one of the fusion cannons, the beam passes through one fighter entirely, incinerating it, then it blasts a wing of another, causing it to slam into the fighter next to it, those two careen into an asteroid.)

B'BOOM: Nice shootin' bird-man. (Crynoth takes aim again and fires with both of the fusion beams, the two beams wipe out three more, one of which doesn't blow up but spins out of control away from the asteroids.)

CRYNOTH: Five more, where are they? (The fighters have disappeared from site, he turns the ship toward the disabled one.)

SILVERBOLT: Go in close, maybe we can tow it in. (The Voyager approaches the fighter slowly, the captain's strange, gnarled, cat-like face looks from the Voyager to a button on his console, he slams the button and his fighter erupts into flames.) Scratch that idea. (A red light comes on and starts blinking.)

INFERNO: The other five fighters, they're behind us! (The ship shutters from an explosion. The camera goes to a different kind of cat-like face, female, emerald green eyes, her fur is a gold-brown color.)

LUNA: Hey, Anarchy, look at this. (She points a clawed finger at six dots on the console, Anarchy, a lion-humanoid, walks up to the console.)

ANARCHY: Five Kilrathi, but I don't recognize the sixth. (Another female cat-like human walks up to them.)

CHEYENNE: Whatever it is, it needs help.

PUN: (He is a tiger-humanoid, about as tall as Anarchy, with a very strong upper body.) I agree. (The fifth one walks up to them, she resembles the other two females except her eyes are sapphire blue, and her fur is brunette.)

OPAL: Me to, let's go. (The camera goes outside their ship, it is a beat-up old freighter barely holding together. They put their engines on maximum and rocket toward the Kilrathi fighters. Back inside the Voyager.)

CRYNOTH: I can't aim at them, they're too close. (One fighter passes in front of the bridge, a green energy beam cuts it in half and it explodes.)

INFERNO: Huh!

SILVERBOLT: It's another ship. (Anarchy's voice comes in over the radio.)

ANARCHY: We thought you guys could use a hand. (Their ship passes in front of the view-port, the shoot down another Kilrathi and the remaining three retreat into the asteroid cloud.)

SILVERBOLT: Thank you Captain...

ANARCHY: Call me Anarchy.

SILVERBOLT: Unusual but I'm not the one to judge.

CRYNOTH: We can break for tea and crumpets later, right now we need to land, we're leaking fuel.

ANARCHY: Not a problem, there's an outpost nearby. Follow our lead.

(Anarchy's ship takes off and the Voyager follows. The camera goes to a massive asteroid floating by itself, the side you are looking at now is just rock, but it slowly rotates to reveal an outpost and refueling station with ten docking bays.)

CRYNOTH: I'm scanning the life-forms. (An image of the inhabitants of the station comes up.)

AIRRAZOR: Human!

Scene goes to inside one of the asteroid base's docks as the Voyager's door panel connects to the hatchway. it opens and the six Maximals and one Maltese step out, they get a few surprised stares from the very few humans walking around. One human hurriedly walks up to them.

HUMAN: Kat cleared you, which one of you is the captain?

SILVERBOLT: I guess I am. (We walks of with the human, actually he is pretty much being tugged along by the nervous man, the two are joined by Anarchy, they get into an elevator.) Where are we going?

ANARCHY: The general wants to meet you. (Back outside the Voyager the rest of Kat walk up to the Maximals and Crynoth.)

LUNA: (B'boom's eyes stray from her face down to her well filled out flight jacket.) Strange, I thought you might be human.

INFERNO: We are Cybertronian.

CHEYENNE: Which means nothing to us.

OPAL: Why don't we get acquainted in the galley?


Scene goes to the galley, where Tigatron has just finished telling their story.

LUNA: Cool, I guess I'll introduce us, I'm Luna, the captain of our flying scrap-heap is Anarchy, That's Cheyenne (Cheyenne smiles.) she's married to Anarchy. That's Punisher (She points to Pun.) we call him Pun for short. And that's Opal. (Opal smiles as well.)

BLACKARACHNIA: What species are you anyway? Not to be rude or anything.

LUNA: We aren't exactly a species. It's actually a pretty detailed story as well but I'll make it short. There are two species in this galaxy that we know of, Humans and Kilrathi, both of which you've already met. Physically the Kilrathi dominate the humans, so the humans spliced feline, Kilrathi, and human DNA. The out-come was us.

PUN: Agile, strong, and a lot better looking than the Kilrathi and the Humans. (He flexes his biceps.)

AIRRAZOR: I'll say. (She is embarrassed by her quick response and changes the subject.) Why are you called 'Kat' anyway?

OPAL: I'll fill that in. It stands for Kilrathi anti-force team.

CRYNOTH: Is that your job?

CHEYENNE: What?

CRYNOTH: You just fly around and hunt Kilrathi?

LUNA: No, we do cargo shipments and things like that as well, not many human outposts trust us though, only general Stevens places full trust in our abilities.

BLACKARACHNIA: Why don't they trust you?

LUNA: They think the Kilrathi DNA in us will affect our emotions and turn us against them.

CHEYENNE: We aren't even allowed on Earth, all of our shipments must be transferred to a cargo pod and then taken to the surface.

TIGATRON: That seems unfair.

PUN: To you and me both.


Scene goes inside the general's quarters where Silverbolt, Anarchy and the general are sitting at a small conference table. The general is a slightly short man with a bald head and graying hair. Silverbolt has just finished their story.

SILVERBOLT: And that's how we got here, general Stevens.

STEVENS: Fascinating, the idea of inter-dimensional travel.

SILVERBOLT: Although unpredictable it is still a needed tool to return us to Cybertron.

STEVENS: Well, you are welcomed to stay here for as long as you need.

SILVERBOLT: Thank you general.

STEVENS: And you, Anarchy, will you be staying with us for a while? Or do you have a shipment you need to deliver?

ANARCHY: It's getting harder and harder to find jobs, we can't live off of raiding Kilrathi forever.

STEVENS: No you can't can you? (The general's doorbell rings, the same nervous man who brought Silverbolt there looks into the room.) What is it Hensen?

HENSEN: We got a message from a long range courier that there may be a Kilrathi force mobilizing near here within an asteroid cloud.

STEVENS: So?

HENSEN: Our fighter pilots won't be back for a month. (The general's face gets slightly more serious.)

STEVENS: I see, and what pilots do we have now?

HENSEN: Skeleton crew sir, Jeanette Deveraux, Christopher Blair and Todd Marshall.

STEVENS: Three captains! On this entire base!?

HENSEN: We're lucky to even have those three, they transferred earlier than the others. This entire rock is functioning on a skeleton crew.

STEVENS: Anarchy, Silverbot,-

SILVERBOLT: Bolt.

STEVENS: Yes excuse me, I believe it may be in this base's best interests if you stay.

ANARCHY: You can count on Kat!

SILVERBOLT: Team Almatron will assist as well.

STEVENS: Good, there may even be no need at all for you to stay, then again, it could be crucial. (He looks at his watch.) Hmm, it's getting late. Hensen, show these two where their quarters are. You will meet Jean and the other two tomorrow.

HENSEN: Yes sir. (Silverbolt and Anarchy follow him out of the door.)


Scene goes to later that night. First you see Kat in their quarters, then you see the crew of Voyager in theirs all are in their cots except Silverbolt, who is standing by a large window looking out into the stars, Blackarachnia gets up and walks over to him.

BLACKARACHNIA: You have to start getting more sleep rover. (He puts his arm around her.)

SILVERBOLT: I have trouble sleeping, bad memories. (He closes his eyes and you see the small black box dropping to the surface of the planet.)

BLACKARACHNIA: It had to be done, there was no stopping it. (She kisses him on the mouth, he smiles and then collapses to the ground.) I don't care if I have to knock you out, you're getting some sleep. (She gets on her cot and falls asleep.)


Scene goes to morning, where the only way to tell the difference between times is that someone is knocking on the door. Silverbolt gets up off the ground from his painful, collapsed position, turns on the light and opens the door. Groans pass around the room as the light wakes up the others, at the door is Hensen.

HENSEN: Time for your first flight lesson. (he hands Silverbolt a data-card with the directions to the fighter bay. When they get there three humans are standing with Kat. The woman is the first to speak.)

ANGEL: Hello team Almatron, my name is Jeanette Deveraux, you can call me Angel. (She gestures to a young man with black hair standing next to her.) This is Christopher Blair, (She points at the third, another young man with white hair.) and this is Todd Marshall.

MANIAC: Call me Maniac. (He looks over Blackarachnia's hour-glass body, Silverbolt growls and Maniac puts his hands up defensively and backs away.) Whoa, sorry dog-man. (Team Almatron shakes hands with the two men.)

ANGEL: Maniac! (Maniac shuts his mouth and stifles a laugh. Angel ignores him and points to the two rows of fighters in the hanger, five up the left side and five up the right side, with about fifty yards of space in between for take off space. The fighters are compact, and each have a large gattling gun in the front.) These are rapiers, this entire station has twenty of them, ten here and ten more on a top-side gravity bay. Please split into three groups and come with one of us. (Silverbolt, Blackarachnia, Anarchy, and Cheyenne form one group and go with Angel. Tigatron, Airrazor, Crynoth and Pun form another and go with Blair. And Luna, Opal, B'boom and Inferno split into another and stand by Maniac.) Okay, Blair.

BLAIR: Yeah?

ANGEL: You and I will use these ten fighters, Maniac, you take your group top-side and use the others.

MANIAC: Yes Ma'am. (Maniac starts to leave.)

BLAIR: Todd! Be good. (Maniac laughs and walks out of the hatch, followed by his group. Blair walks over to the left row of fighters.) As Angel said, these are rapiers, not the best ships in the galaxy but they can sure hold their own. They aren't too hard to fly, as long as you know your basics.


Scene goes to a hallway that Maniac is walking down, he is talking to Inferno.

MANIAC: So you've had a lot of experience in hand-to-hand combat, any flight experience?

INFERNO: Bits here and there.

MANIAC: If you can use a toaster you can fly these things.

LUNA: Then how'd you get to fly one? (Opal gives her a low five.)

MANIAC: Oh I see, and your flight experience includes that pile of scrap metal at dock seven? (In a quick and fluent motion Luna sweeps Maniac's feet out from under him and slams him to the ground.)

OPAL: Why don't we change the subject? (Luna helps up Maniac, slightly digging her claws into his hand.)

MANIAC: The T.g.b. is right ahead. (They walk up to a door, it opens and they go out into a large circular slab of steel about fifty yards wide, in a circle facing the center are ten rapiers. B'boom looks up, all that separates them from empty space is a bubble-like force field.) I'm not very comfortable walking around with less than an inch of energy separating me from death, so let's get into the rapiers. (He opens the hatch of his rapier and gets inside. The others do the same, it is a very tight fit for B'boom and Inferno, B'boom converts to beast mode and jumps into the cockpit a little easier.)

LUNA: That's something you don't see every day, a baboon flying a fighter.

(Inferno flies up over the fighter using his abdomen rotors, he then transforms halfway and gets in the cockpit and the same time, then transforms back to full robot mode.)

INFERNO: Like a glove. (They all close their hatches, Opal sees the other two groups of fighters take off into the sky and take separate directions. Inside Sliverbolt's fighter he sees Blair's group break off from theirs, he then sees Maniac's exit the force field.)

MANIAC: (over the radio,) Please put on your helmets and prepare for war games.

B'BOOM: What?

ANGEL: Your fighters computers are set for war games, your shots are harmless, it's part of your training.

B'BOOM: Oh I see. (he takes his ship into a dive and heads at Inferno. Inferno sees him and maneuvers away.)

MANIAC: Here we go! Yeeeeeeeeehah! (He also goes into a dive and fires the dummy-lasers at his buddy Blair.)

BLAIR: All right, you're mine now, ha ha ha. (He dodges the shots and returns fire. Everyone begins to join in and the radio frequency fills with playful yells and laughs. The camera shows B'boom diving at Tigatron's fighter, but before he can fire Crynoth swoops in and tags him, then as Crynoth veers away Inferno gets him from behind.)

B'BOOM: Whoa! (He sees Silverbolt just sitting in empty space, he aligns his ship perfectly and takes aim.)

SILVERBOLT: Nice try! (He takes the nose of his ship in an upward ninety degree Angle and the shots pass under him. the general's voice suddenly comes in over the radio.)

STEVENS: We need all of you to get down here right now!

ANGEL: All right people, party's over, land your fighters.


Scene goes to the briefing room where Stevens and Hensen are waiting. The fifteen pilots come into the auditorium like room and sit down among the other few crew members of the base.

STEVENS: The rumor we received earlier of a Kilrathi fleet massing inside the asteroid cloud has now been confirmed. (Gasps sound through the room.) The fleet is much larger than we expected and it is heading this direction at this moment. (Everyone looks at each other in worry.) Please stay calm, we still should have over an hour to prepare. (Hensen who is looking at read-outs on the holographic computer console suddenly yelps in alarm. He brings up a hologram of the asteroid base, approaching the base are fifteen Kilrathi fighters and one troop ship.)

HENSEN: Sir! They were using some sort of cloaking device! We couldn't see them! They'll be here in a few seconds!

STEVENS: You heard him! To your stations! (Angel, Blair and Maniac stand up and run out the rest follow their lead.)

ANGEL: We have to get to the fighters as soon as possible, especially the ones in the T.g.b., they- (Angel is the first one into the T.g.b., she stops in mid-run and sees the four Kilrathi in formation heading straight at the rapiers, all four fire simultaneously, Blair grabs Angel and pulls her back in the door, Inferno dives and slams the hatch closed just as the T.g.b. erupts into flames and the rapiers go up in smoke.)

BLAIR: We still have ten and that's better than none. (Silverbolt steps up taking command.)

SILVERBOLT: We have to fight these things now before they destroy the base, five of you need to stay behind and fight the ones that boarded, who will it be?

ANARCHY: I will. (Opal, Tigatron, Airrazor and Crynoth are the next to volunteer.)

CRYNOTH: It'd have to be safer than flying around in space.

ANARCHY: You'd think so wouldn't you? Come on, follow me to the ship. (The five run off down the hallway toward the Claw, the ten pilots run in the other direction toward the fighter bay.)


Scene goes to inside the Claw where the hatch opens and Anarchy hurries in, he opens a door into a dark closet, when he turns on the light it reveals a wall covered in weapons, guns, knives, some are unrecognizable, Anarchy walks up and loads himself down with bullets and a couple knives, he then takes an AKA assault rifle down and loads the magazine. Opal walks up to the wall and selects a hand laser, a stun gun and a butterfly knife.

ANARCHY: Forget lasers, nothing beats a good old solid lead projectile. Go on, take your pick. (Crynoth walks up to the wall and grabs a knife about one foot long that he connects to his belt, he then picks four Uzies from the wall, holding one in each of his two top hands he loads them with his bottom hands and repeats the procedure on the second two, he then picks up two straps and fastens the four machine guns to his sides. Anarchy grins and clicks the magazine into his gun.)

TIGATRON: Our own weapons will suffice. (he and Airrazor walk out of the ship and into the hallway, waiting for the other three.) I have a feeling there is going to be much death tonight. (Airrazor holds his hand, the other three come out of the ship loaded down.)

CRYNOTH: Give me a second. (He accesses a scanning computer and gets through the codes immediately, he brings up an image on the base that shows where the Kilrathi troop ship is boarding.) About three hundred meters that way! (he points down the left hallway and they run for it.)


Scene goes to the place where the Kilrathi will enter the base, there are about twelve humans including Hensen sitting there and holding weapons in preparation. Everything is silent, all men have their lasers pointed at the door.

HENSEN: Steady men, those troop ships can hold up to thirty Kilrathi. (he tightens his grip and presses against the wall next to the hatch.)

DAG: Sir, where are they?

HENSEN: They're clever creatures Dag, but there is only one way from their ship in he- (The door explodes outward and clatters to the floor, out of the door steps a Kilrathi, taller than the humans, in a silvery armor, it turns in time to see the shot from Hensen's gun slice through it's helmet, the large beast falls to the ground, dropping its large laser rifle, Dag runs out of his hiding place and grabs for the gun.) Noooo! (The man falls down, never to get up, Hensen, normally a nervous and agitated man steps in front of the hatchway and comes face-to-face with a Kilrathi, he puts the muzzle of his gun up to the creature's face and squeezes the trigger, it falls back and lands at the feet of five more Kilrathi, they look down, then at Hensen.)


Scene goes out into empty space, ten rapiers come up out of the lower bay and begin to engage the Kilrathi.

MANIAC: Whooooo-hooooooo! Time to give'em some Maniac magic!

B'BOOM: Right behind ya!

BLAIR: Not without me! (A Kilrathi swoops up behind Blackarachnia and Silverbolt incinerates it with his gattling gun. Maniac, B'boom and Blair box one in and blast it into molecules. Inferno turns his fighter to face the rest of the Kilrathi in formation. A tense moments suspends time itself.)

INFERNO: BURN!!!!!! Ah hahahahaha! (He puts his engines on full and powers at the Kilrathi, he then turns on hi gattling guns and breaks through the formation, taking out two of them and scattering the rest.)

MANIAC: Yeah! Save some for me!

ANGEL: Don't get too cocky. (Maniac closes his eyes and then looks at a picture of Rosie, a fellow pilot and so much more who died fighting Kilrathi.)

Scene goes to the five inside the base, Anarchy runs up to the spot where the Kilrathi docked and stops dead in his tracks. The rest come up behind them.

AIRRAZOR: We're too late. (laying on the floor are several Kilrathi and twelve humans all dead, except for Hensen, laying on the ground with a laser burn to his stomach, he is as close to death as the men around him. He turns his head to Anarchy.)

HENSEN: Anarchy, (He coughs, blood starts to trickle out of his mouth. Anarchy kneels beside him.) they're, they're. They came for the Navcom computers. (Anarchy starts to get back up but Hensen garbs his sleeve.) Be careful, there's more, more, in the ship. Good luck. (Hensen's eyes slowly close and he passes away. Anarchy stands up and regains his composure.)

ANARCHY: Okay, wait a second. (He dives out of the way as a laser shot flies from the entrance of the Kilrathi ship and hits where his head just was a millisecond before, Anarchy takes the assault rifle from his back and fires into the doorway, a second passes and a Kilrathi staggers out and collapses to the floor.) We have to move fast! If they get the Navcom they'll be able to get to Earth! (Anarchy opens a door, he runs through followed by Airrazor and Tigatron, but once Tigatron gets through the door it slides closed very quickly, Crynoth runs up to it and tries to access the lock, but a shot from a Kilrathi's weapon totals the controls, thinking fast Crynoth turns around, squats low and draws his four uzies at the same time, the Kilrathi gets off one more shot before he is cut almost in half, the shot barely grazes Crynoth's neck, singing the feathers off. The doors to his right and left close, boxing him and Opal in.)

CRYNOTH: Uh-oh. (Sounds start coming from inside the troop ship.) Opal, start charging your laser and set it down in the middle of the floor.

OPAL: But it will combust. (Her sapphire blue eyes show a glint of panic and she does it anyway.)

CRYNOTH: Exactly. (He and Opal stand in a corner away from the laser in the center of the floor. A Kilrathi steps out of the ship and looks at the glowing weapon. Crynoth brings up his uzies but the gun combusts, heating the floor in a six foot circle, the Kilrathi's feet burn in pain and it falls down, shattering the super-heated metal and traveling through it. Opal walks slowly up to the hole and looks down into a maze of pipes and cables.)

OPAL: It's the base's super-structure. (More Kilrathi step out of the ship and take aim at Opal. Crynoth drops the uzies from his bottom two hands and dives through the air, he wraps his bottom arms around her waist and holds her close to him, twisting in the air Crynoth brings the two uzies up and fires at the Kilrathi, he and Opal then fall down into the hole in the floor and are narrowly missed by the Kilrathi's shots that pass over them and hit the wall. Crynoth turns in air so his back is down, his arms remain holding Opal tight to his body. Slam!)

CRYNOTH: Ngh! (He lands on a broad metal pipe, breaking Opal's fall, the uzies fly from his hands and clatter through the depths bellow. They are both breathing hard from the fast-paced escape. Opal looks into his eagle-like eyes, Crynoth looks into her beautiful eyes.)

OPAL: Thank you. (She kisses him on the beak. He smiles, then, his eyes grow horrified. Opal turns around and looks up through the hole they fell in, about twenty feet up Kilrathi are starting to climb down.) They haven't spotted us yet. (Opal gets up and helps Crynoth to his feet.)

CRYNOTH: (He looks down, more pipes.) We'll have to follow this pipe and find a way into the base again. (A shot suddenly passes between the two and goes through the pipe, hot steam shoots from the hole. Crynoth looks up and sees the Kilrathi hanging from a ribbed cable.) Hmm, ribbed, that means electrical. (He pulls the knife out of its sheath and heaves it at the cable, the knife passes through the Kilrathi's hand and the cable and shocks it to death.) Let's move.


Scene goes to the space battle.

ANGEL: Bad news, the fleet's arriving! (In the distance ten very big ships are coming into sight, they are surrounded by dozens of fighters.)

MANIAC: That's a lot of Kilrathi. (His mouth hangs open.)

B'BOOM: This is bad, very bad. (A voice comes in over the radio frequency.)

TOLWIN: This is Admiral Tolwin of the Confederation army. We thought you could use some help. (The camera shows everyone turn and look behind themselves. What they see is a fleet of twelve Confederate ships and longbow fighters, the fighters look like flying clubs, they are about twice the size of the rapiers.)

BLAIR: Yeeeeeeaaaaaah!

LUNA: Whooo-hoooo! (The ten rapiers straighten out and face the Kilrathi with renewed confidence, backed up by the Confederate fleet.)

SILVERBOLT: Attack! (The rapiers lead the way into the Kilrathi, first through the fighters wiping them out on the way through, they careen and dodge their way through the opposing force. Pun looks back through his cockpit and sees the longbows pass by the Kilrathi.)

PUN: What about them? (The ten Kilrathi battleships are lined up preparing to fire.)

TOLWIN: I would suggest getting out of the way. (The Confederate ships fire torpedoes, as do the Kilrathi, all the fighters in between scatter. Maniac, Blair, Pun, Inferno and B'boom stay behind and head for the Kilrathi torpedoes.)

ANGEL: What are you doing!?

BLAIR: Don't worry, we're stopping those torpedoes. (Angel and the rest pull back in and each locks onto a torpedo.)

ANGEL: Fire! (The ten rapiers fire their gattling guns and missiles at the torpedoes, all ten are demolished.) Pull out! Pull out! (The rapiers scatter in all directions evading the Confederate torpedoes.)

CHEYENNE: Up yours. (The torpedoes fly at the Kilrathi ships, they start to turn but are obliterated. Each one erupts into flames and explodes.)

TOLWIN: Our longbows will handle clean-up of the Kilrathi fighters, you can land.

BLAIR: Gladly.


Scene goes to the room containing the Navcom computers. Two Kilrathi have just broken through the door and are beginning to put them into a large plasiticine crate when Anarchy, Tigatron and Airrazor come in the door.

ANARCHY: Freeze. (He points his assault rifle at the Kilrathi, the two creatures backs are to him, each one is hiding a laser rifle, they turn around quickly, but not quickly enough, Anarchy lets loose a barrage of bullets and the two Kilrathi fly through the air into the opposite wall. Scene goes to Opal and Crynoth, they have found a door and gone through it, the door led to one side of the hangar bay for the rapiers, they begin two walk out of the door when the rapiers come in and land.)

CRYNOTH: How was you day? (His arm is over Opal's shoulder to support his broken leg.)

CHEYENNE: Not as good as yours, you're too rough Opal. (She winks at Opal and climbs out of her fighter. The last Kilrathi comes through the door roaring, Opal pulls the butterfly knife out of her pocket, flips it open and throws it, it sticks right in the creature's throat, Cheyenne gives her a surprised look.) I never knew you could do that. (Back inside the bridge of Tolwin's ship general Stevens comes in over the radio.)

STEVENS: Tolwin, how'd you get here so fast?

TOLWIN: We had some help from a friend in navigating through Carybdis.

(Paladin walks up beside him and pats him on the back.)

PALADIN: We've won.


Scene goes to the hatchway outside of the Voyager several days later, where Team Almatron and Kat are standing, saying goodbye to Stevens, Blair, Maniac and Angel.

BLAIR: (To Anarchy.) You're sure you want to go?

ANARCHY: Yes, we have nothing to stay here for.

CHEYENNE: (Anarchy puts his arm over her shoulder.) Who could resist the chance to travel through dimensions?

CRYNOTH: (He comes out of the Voyager.) We're ready to go.

SILVERBOLT: Goodbye Stevens. (He shakes the general's hand.)

STEVENS: We'll never forget you. (The crew of the Voyager boards their ship. Inside the bridge Silverbolt walks up to the view port.)

ANARCHY: Where to captain?

SILVERBOLT: Cybertron. (The ship flies up and disappears into a violet and green portal.)
