CHAPTER ONE Reign of Rulers
The history of our space is quite unknown, but one thing does count for a fact—evolution does exist. With Earth burning from the Drakh Plague…the Humans found a cure—destroy all technology, from the computer to the electric can opener. Why? Because the Drakh Plague is actually a bunch of small machines called nano-bots that feed off the energy of other machines then kills its host. Already the Drakh Plague has killed one-third of its host. Now with the death of the Drakh race the terror seems quite over. The Humans on Earth are grounded back to Earth all except for the vessel Invincible that was to assemble the Children of Light to fight the Hand and later the Liberators. Of course that story belongs to the Invincible—for another time. This story does not deal with the average time we know—it is recorded in the time of the Rim. What is the Rim? Only a few ever ventured into the Rim to return changed. Now in regular time of the living a new enemy is plotting to become masters. Like the Drakh and Shrib they were once allies with the Shadows of Z'ha'dum. They were called the Soldiers of Darkness. The Soldiers of Darkness live in a sector of their own near Z'ha'dum. The planet is as dark as Z'ha'dum's sister planet X'ha'dum with a volcanic landscape. The Soldiers of Darkness are lead by an evil ruler named Asron; he appears in a suit of black armor. Asron is a legion to every planet and has affected the perspectives of many writers. On Minbar, the Minbari have a scroll of a picture of a hellish landscape and with a demonic creature with horns protruding out of its head, but most noticeable is the eye around its finger. The Humans have also a text and movie that shows this character that killed many Humans in the past, we know it as the movie 'Lord of the Rings'. Of course that demonic creature is named Sauron of Mordor. If this writer's story is true, then what other literature may be true? Well you would be surprised! A few movies like Crusade, St. Helens, and Babylon 5 are based on reality. St. Helens was created in 1981 of the eruption of Mount Saint Helens; Crusade was an event that happened before the Human race was plummeted into the Great Burn; and Babylon 5 is a second world, consider it as a Earth 2. We are all related to this universe and have shared in its past as a character or one of the aliens. You see if you consider heaven as this place then you are not far off. We are placed in our own universe—the Human race is one of the most imaginative races of all—because we are the only developed race in the first universe. Yes there is other life on other planets, but they are only simple bacteria and viruses. You see, Human nature is a difficult nature to understand because we create the life we live. Take this for an example: if you were the Green River Killer then when you die you are born to be in fear of your next life till you take your own life—this would be hell as we know it. Reason of why this is, is because Earth is a platform for starting off the long adventure. As we consider God and Satan, God is in control, and Satan is just a figure we call to our worse nightmare. Like myself, lets say I am afraid of clowns…so Satan would be a person in a clown suit, or could be you decomposing stepmother Crotchety? Who ever you fear becomes your adversary. But this story is not either to justify religion—it's all about the end—of your life—the end of our lives.
The time that begins as in the year 2290 and beyond the Rim in 3260 is the beginning of the second Earth. 27 light years away is Minbar, they only space bearing race at this moment, but far off in the unknown sector there is a dark, cold, dead planet. A jump gate that leads to this planet has not been active for over one million years—reason why? When the Vorlons gave star charts to the Minbari they tried to leave out three dead planets, X'ha'dum, Z'ha'dum and Sigma 666—the home world of Asron and the Soldiers of Darkness. IPX (Interstellar Planetary Expeditions) found Z'ha'dum, the home world of the second oldest race in the universe named the Shadows, and the Invincible found the planet named X'ha'dum; the home world of the Liberators, and the last planet in Sigma 666 is named by the Liberators as K'ha'dum. They caused genocide on all planets and once were servants of their lords—the Liberators—Masters of Chaos. Now with the Liberators and Shadows gone they now reclaimed the title master of chaos—consider themselves as Shadows of Z'ha'dum. By 2290 they had struck at the high officials and those who could kill them like Captain/President/Ranger John J. Sheridan who now was dead due to one age so one of their major problems has been relieved, but his wife Delenn Mir Sheridan was a major problem, so they attempted to kill her, but instead killed the strongest telepath Lyta. This was a great victory. Then a war plan was drawn up. The armies of Asron will go to four major planets to create chaos and death; they are Narn, Centauri, Earth, and Minbar. When they reached Minbar they conducted a bloody fight and killed thousands of Minbari and left their cities in flames. Delenn and her children barely escaped with there lives, next was a young planet in Sector 4 named Earth and Mars, but only found a planet retarded in technology then left them alone. Next to be explored was Epsilon, Narn, and Centauri, but the Rangers stopped them. Back on Minbar, the ISA decided that the races of Centauri, Narn, Drazi, Minbar, and Non-Alliance worlds might declare war against the Soldiers of Darkness. The armies of the ISA had a plan to bring back the Shadows and Vorlons back by using the Epsilon Grid. As the Shadows poured out into space it was a terrifying sight, the sleek ships just screamed back and out of space then the space opened up and hundreds of Vorlon vessels mixed out with the Shadows and the Shadows and
Vorlons joined the ISA fleet—now the war of the Leaders has begun.
2290, Minbar, Yedor, time is 9:17pm the sun is setting and the glass city glitters in the sunlight. Proud to be home, Delenn sits back in her seat rest assured that the Soldiers of Darkness main capitol ship has been destroyed, but the wonder in the back of her mind worries her and what about the massive objects released out of the time rift? As Delenn began to land the ship in the spaceport she remembers an event said by a Vorlon, 'The history will repeat itself in a gate of opportunity.' Maybe the Vorlon means that the gate that brought the Shadows and Vorlons will bring more support from the past.
Dr. Franklin walks to Delenn; Franklin looks worried and has the face of bad news, by his side is Delenn's friend Mr. Garibaldi. Delenn exchanges the worried looks back to Franklin and Garibaldi. "What's wrong?"
Garibaldi responds, "Delenn our jump gate has failed, and Earth had just reported that they got their first cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulators."
Dr. Franklin pauses for a second, then a thought comes to him. "What, I'm sorry, I am quite confused! CFTR is a disease that was wiped out when the Shadows wiped out the German ethnic."
Michael Garibaldi looks at Dr. Franklin, his face is showing more distress. "That's not all—there is more."
Dr. Franklin looks at Michael, "What?"
Michael Garibaldi looks at Delenn, "The Drakh are back on Centauri Prime, but are going back to Z'ha'dum."
Delenn's eyes widen in terror, "What!"
Michael Garibaldi continues, "Yes, the planet is back and the Shadows and Vorlons are back once again."
Delenn looks at Dr. Franklin hoping not to make eye contact with Mr. Garibaldi. "Are they friendly?"
Michael Garibaldi smirks, "I hope so Delenn they just joined with the fleet. Also there is more news."
Delenn looks confused at Garibaldi's strange humor. "Go on."
Michael glances at his papers, "Your son and daughter are missing in action—their White Star is missing and the thing that took them Delenn is transparent!" Delenn freezes and remembers the little battle "You all right Delenn?"
Delenn snaps out of the temporary hypnosis, "Yes, just piecing the last war together, we found a transparent ship that came out of the rift in time."
Michael walks slowly closer to Delenn, but close enough that you could put a brick in-between them and still have room to maneuver it. "We will send a ship to find them Delenn." Garibaldi turns around and leaves the group. Franklin assures Delenn that the children will be found and then Franklin leaves to study more on the CFTR virus. As for Delenn she goes home to rest for the night—but all she had was nightmares
In a liquid like atmosphere David and Delenn II move slowly in the liquid environment. the White Star is filled up with this mucus like fluid. They move again and can see and breathe, but it is hard to process what they see—everything is advanced. When they look outside the window they see a massive superstructure of metal, tubes, and beyond that other ships, the ships they destroyed, or were damaged. Human like figures studying the ships look threaten with the cross bars on their left arm. There is no smell nor sound, the silence is then erupted by the sounds of shifting metal as there ship begins to repaired itself, but then the ship turns clear and they see only space even David and Delenn II and the service men are camouflaged due to the mucus like fluid. In the distance there are some Minbari War cruisers, as the superstructure keeps moving forward the Minbari fleet the superstructure swallows them up. David and Delenn II move franticly with fear towards the opening. With breathers on, they exit the ship which is repairing itself once outside the mucus like liquid attaches to their bodies and it rips the robes to get to the flesh as it needles into the skin of Delenn II and David. It causes tremendous pain and they pass out. Two hours have came and gone and the bodies of the two aliens lay outside in the repair dock of the Blitzkrieger The name of the ship . The bodies lay in Med-Bay where doctors try to clean off the mucus builders, which are little DNA copying organisms that rebuild the simplest matter. With the two children sleeping the doctors hook wires and tubes to the children as they make a full report on this new species that they never knew. As the resting period ends they awaken. As Delenn II and David Sheridan gaze at the aliens, they appear as Human's, but the doctors face is hard, rugged, with a dinky facial hair mustache. As he looks at them his eyes are sunk in, he looks like the undead. "Welcome, do you speak English?"
Delenn II looks at the scary man "Who are you?"
The doctor turns to another doctor, and saying in such a stern way, "Yes they speak English."
David Sheridan, not much terrified of the aliens asks the same question. "Who are you?"
The creepy doctor looks back at Delenn II, "We are the German Republic and you are?"
David responds first, "My name is David Sheridan, this is my sister Delenn II Sheridan, and we are of the Minbari Federation."
The doctor looks amazed and confused, "Minbari Federation?"
David nods, "This is correct."
The doctor trying to piece together the name to a planet or species. "We haven't investigated that planet yet; does your race all look like Humans?"
David shakes his head, "No, actually much different, I am just a little different—a hybrid—my father is Human and mother is a hybrid of Minbari and Human, my sister and I have not became of age yet to show our physical characteristics."
The doctor is typing on a computer, "Which is?"
David answers knowing that refusal will probably get him killed or severely injured. "Mostly the crest bone and the lack of hair…now I have a question…why are you hunting species?"
The doctor looks up from his computer, "We are not hunting species, we are studying them, we have missed nearly 256 years, consider it as the Germans Great Inconformity. We came back when the Masters of Chaos returned back to known space."
David has never heard of this name to a power race. "Masters of Chaos?"
The doctor nods his old head and the sound of bone crackling fills the room. "Yes there are the Masters of Chaos and the Masters of Order—like good verse evil, the Master of Chaos is named Asron a satanic figure who condemns worlds to fire. He is in-charge of a group called the Soldiers of Darkness from the planet named K'ha'dum. We were told about an alliance growing, but need to find the correct leaders."
David looks at Delenn II quickly then back at the nasty doctor, "The leader is our mother and Aunt Susan."
The doctor almost wants to laugh, "Your mother, and your race are?"
Delenn II looks at David with concern. "I swear we are not the enemy—but we fear we will find the enemy ourselves."
The doctor snickers, "Okay, we will take you to our planet. Its name is called Minbar; it's about a seven-day trip there in hyperspace. Well we better get going. This war has just begun and will increase!"
3260, Its been nearly one thousand years since the Shadows and Vorlons shed terror in the whole universe. In 2261 the Shadows of Z'ha'dum destroyed their planet and disappeared beyond the rim with the other first ones. When the war was coming to an end the Shadows and Vorlons broke the news that they were afraid of being alone, but when Lorian said that the other first ones were waiting for them they went easily. Now it's been 999 years since the chaos fell and new chaos begins again. Now beyond the rim is the only remaining system untouched by the Hand and everyone we thought was quite dead is back and a new transformation is in store for them.
May 9th, 3260—near X'ha'dum. The space out here is vast. The rim is a reflection of the similar planet of which the Shadows and Liberators once lived on, only difference is, everyone who reflected the past still have affected the future. It is a strange relationship, but the major races seem to understand it. The major space station still remain, both Babylon 4 and Babylon 5 even though they were decommissioned is 1289 (Babylon 4) and 2289 (Babylon 5). The fluke that the people from Cystic Fibrosis and Final Fall meet on the station, but the young children who lost their lives to diseases find that a fictional place is not a bad place to begin a new life, but it is also hard to go anywhere when you have no money. Of course the rim was not generous to the children and placed them in different areas of the universe and slowly letting them adapt to the environment, of course this usually doesn't happen after age 21 because you have all ready planned your path in life.
RIM-Minbar-with the death of Jake and Bri, time will be going by quickly and the time flashed to the year 3260. when Jake got to Minbar he was very cold and congested. He thought when you died you were released from your diseases and sent to a better place, but he has not improved in health. Thinking he was alone he then realized he wasn't when he saw Bri, his second room mate at Children's. Bri was also suffering from his allergies, noticing Jake he couldn't believe he was alive, he saw him die and here he stands looking at him. They both looked at each another then they looked towards the glass city. The city has a huge waterfall in the center of the city. With seeing the huge city they began to walk to the city not aware what they would find. "Bri, I thought we were on Earth?"
Bri looks at the crystal towers, "We were, but not anymore."
Jake looks at the bluish-white-pink crystal. "What is this place?"
Bri shakes his head, "I am not sure Jake." They follow a glass road to the center of the city. The glass tower, towers over them at least 30 stories high. As they walk on Jake then passes out due to the lack of oxygen "Jake are you all right?" Jake hits the glass ground, Bri rushes down to the ground to check up on Jake, he's not breathing. "I need help!"
A child ask for the aide of another child and they take Jake inside to revive him. "Mother can you come here?"
A young 30 year old alien comes out to assist her son, "What's wrong, and who's your friends?"
The young male-alien who appears to be Human looks at his mother who is defiantly not Human. "I just meet them. This Human has passed out and is not awaking; this other Human says it is called cystic fibrosis?"
The young female alien does not have a surprised look on her face, "I never heard of that disease!" It is apparent that she is lying.
The young male child looks at the fluid buildup around his mouth. "Me neither, I will call for Franklin." The child enters another room and comes back with a Human. Bri wondering if this was a dream and hoping it was because it was getting strange.
Dr. Franklin looks at Jake then looks at Bri, "Where are you from?"
The question is awkward and Bri need clarification "Excuse me?"
Dr. Franklin asks the question once again, "Where are you from and what's your name?"
Bri looks at Jake, "We're from Earth and my name is Bri."
Dr. Franklin places a board under Jake to soon carry him. "All right Bri, truly what's wrong with" —Looking at Jake.
Bri looks at Dr. Franklin, "Jake sir."
Dr. Franklin, not much for pediatrics knows that not breathing causes severe brain damage. "Thank you, now what is wrong with Jake?"
Bri looks at Dr. Franklin, "He has cystic fibrosis."
Dr. Franklin looks at Delenn, the young alien who is mother to the young Human-appearing child called David. "Cystic fibrosis?"
Bri nods his head, "Yes, I have asthma; we are patients of Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center."
Dr. Franklin asks a redundant question. "Is that hospital on Earth?"
Bri shows no expressions, he just answers, "Yes."
Dr, Franklin looks at Bri, he has a hard time believing such a disease exist. "Now Bri, I am familiar with diseases, but asthma and cystic fibrosis are dead diseases, they died out with the genocide of the Germans."
Bri does not let the question phase him, "Please help him—you're a doctor correct?"
Dr. Franklin sees no way that he will get a direct answer from Bri. "Yes, but what do you want me to do?"
Bri looks at Dr. Franklin. "Help him."
Dr. Franklin is clueless on how to treat this disease. "Do you know how Bri?"
"Somewhat?" Says Bri unsure.
Dr. Franklin looks at Bri, "Then Bri work with me, lead me through the process."
Bri stands up and looks around for items close to the respiratory equipment used to treat Jake and himself. "We need a tube, a metal bar, another tube, a ventilator, and a bunch of more tubes."
Delenn nods, "We can do that."
And with that the mother of the child who aided Bri runs into the room and brought a bag of tubes and a air machine. Bri takes the items, "Thank you very much, now what we do now is fit these tubes together and put it in his trachea."
Dr. Franklin has never need to incubate his patients. "How?"
Bri is surprised that the futures doctors know less about lifesaving procedures. "I thought you were trained to be a doctor?"
"I am, but this way of resuscitating your friend is one of the strangest ways I ever saw." As Dr. Franklin looks at the torturous equipment.
"It is called an endotrachea." The tubes are inserted into the mouth of Jake and the ventilator is turned on low, at first there is just gurgling sounds, but is latter filtered by the correct amount of gasses being expelled.
Dr. Franklin looks surprised to see an old technique working on a patient. He turns to Bri with a surprise look. "How did you learn that?"
Bri looks at Dr. Franklin disappointed that he calls himself a doctor. "I learned how to conduct this process from Jake's respiratory therapist."
The child gives Dr. Franklin paper he wanted, it is about the patients at a hospital on Earth. When Franklin reads the paper it matches the descriptions of both Bri and Jake, but what is frightening is that they died in 2010, which makes them about 251 years older then they appear. Franklin gives the paper to Delenn who looks at it with surprise. "Just a thought Bri, what was the year on your planet for I am curious."
Bri thinks trying to remember. "Ah—today is the year 2010."
Delenn and Franklin look at another saying what do we do mentally. Dr. Franklin and Delenn exit the room both knowing that these two children are now orphans and will die if there is no care provided towards them. "Bri knows a lot of medical that would prove useful to the alliance Delenn."
Delenn nods in agreement, "I know, but we can try to adopt them, they will just have to get use to the life styles of Minbar."
Dr. Franklin looks at the numbers or the dead returning, "What worries me is the amount of people coming from the past—like we—now I wasn't one who believed that heaven was this, but as I see it—it is." Delenn does not say anything in reply, "What do we do about the illnesses, we use a low dose of medication and for what they have we don't have."
Delenn looks at the papers, "What about a chrysalis—we know most of the new comers go through an alteration, maybe this is supposed to be there's."
Dr. Franklin looks shocked at Delenn's suggestions, "You mean like a destiny?"
Delenn nods, "Yes, we Minbari believe that Humans are born into Minbari and Minbari are born into Humans to balance the gap, but some of us fall between that gap like Valen, or even my-self."
Franklin chuckles a little, "Well your people do have a way with strange prophecies!"
The two enter the room again. "Stephen and I have planned to take care of you."
Bri looks at them, still annoyed at Dr. Franklin, "Can we just go home?"
Delenn looks at Bri with sympathy, "And where is home?"
"At Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center." Says Bri wheezy.
Delenn continues, "And the year is 2010 correct?"
Bri looks up at Delenn confused why she is playing this knowledge game. "Yes, why?"
Delenn gives back the papers to Dr. Franklin. "I have some bad news—it's now the year 3260."
Bri looks down at Jake who is breathing with the machine, "3260?"
Delenn agrees, "Correct."
Bri looks at Dr. Franklin and then Delenn. "What happened?"
Delenn tries to explain the difficult procedure of being reborn. "You and Jake have came beyond the rim."
Jake wakens and speaks through the side of his mouth. "Oh I was hopping for this to be a really scary nightmare!" Everyone looks down at Jake Gallen, "I take it that I still have CF?"
Bri nods glad to see him awaken, "Yes I am afraid, I still also have my asthma."
Jake thinks for a second, "I thought when you died you were to be relieved of pain…unless if you were sent to hell…on my god Bri we're in hell!" Looking at Delenn and Stephen. "So are you demons, or poltergeist of some sort right?"
Delenn looks to Stephen, "No, I like you were born and died—just not so young! And second I am not a—demon?"
Stephen gets a look from Delenn and Stephen tells Delenn what a demon is. "A spiritual apparition."
Delenn shakes her head, "Oh, no, I am Minbari/Human hybrid—my name is Delenn Mir Sheridan, this is my son David Sheridan, and Dr. Stephen Franklin—you are on Minbar."
Jake looks at Delenn, for she seems to look like a demon to him, "You look like a Human who went through some horrible genetic experiment?"
Stephen gets worried that Jake had just offended Delenn. "Don't worry Stephen; now Bri and Jake you are somewhat correct on my transformation, it was a genetic ritual to end chaos. In a while you will have to adapt to Minbar."
Bri looks curiously at Delenn pondering on her words, "Adapt, you mean we are stuck here on Minbar?"
Delenn nods, "I am afraid so."
Jake looks at Bri in fear, "We have to go home, we wont survive a week here."
Delenn decides this is the appropriate time to offer up a chrysalis. "I might be able to help you on that subject. We can change your structure based on your genetics and we have a chance to rid of your disease."
Jake questions this. "What's the price?"
Delenn looks down at the ground, "The price includes only that you enter a painful state of transformation."
Jake takes this hard, "Transformation, don't you think we have gone through enough all ready?'
Delenn looks up from the ground, "Yes, but at least you will survive longer here on Minbar and in your own environment, all that there is needed to be done is a chrysalis."
Bri is second to question the procedure, "Is that supposed to be what moths do?"
Delenn looks at Bri, "Well from Earth's bio-culture—yes, but it is most effective."
Jake looks at Delenn. "I don't think so, to risky!"
Bri follows along, "Me too, a chrysalis is not to be messed around with."
Delenn feeling shot down, "I see, well if you change your mind let me know!"
Jake gets up staggering to get a foothold on standing. Bri plans to stay with Delenn to seek more answers as Jake goes with Stephen Franklin. The city of Minbar was becoming dark as the sun set in the east, Jake notices this and asks Dr. Franklin why "Isn't the sun suppose to set in the west?"
Dr. Franklin replies, "Yes on Earth, but this is Minbar."
3260 It was about 10:00pm on Minbar. The sun has set and Jake and Bri had made up their minds about the chrysalis. Both agreed that their chance ever leaving Minbar was low, and if they entered a painful state of transformation it may decrease or eliminate their respiratory disorder. So both Jake and Bri plan to go through with the chrysalis. May 9th 3260—With the rebirth of new life, the chrysalis material has been removed and Jake and Bri both still appear Human. As Jake woke up on Minbar, he was very cold and still fluidly due to the CF. As Bri woke up next he noticed he was still congested due to allergies—the process had failed, as he picked off the bluish grey scales off his hand, he looks at Jake who was being worked on by two mid-30s Minbari, he was not sure if they were male or female. As Bri tried to stand, he looked outside and noticed they have moved to a new location, he could see and hear the waterfalls that seem to pour out from the buildings. As Bri was asked to lie down he did not argue—he was still in pain and in fear to even glance at his self—afraid he would see someone he could not reconcile with. As the Minbari picked away the scaled he was relieved that that wasn't his skin. As Delenn and Franklin walk in, Franklin used a device that sort-of-looks-like a clear spatula, which made noise and flashed colors. As Franklin left Bri to check up on Jake, Delenn traded spots with Franklin, and walked slowly to Bri's side. "Hello, how you feel?"
"I am in pain, but better—I still feel like I have allergies and asthma, but not that severe—how is Jake?"
"He is doing fine, he says he can breathe much better now after he coughed a bit, as for you, well from your physical views—you are still Human so I don't know, but if you are underage then the physical changes wont happen till you are 16 years old. But don't worry about age, most Minbari live to be 130 years old, and hybrids live to be much older."
Bri thinks for a second, "I was 12 when I died, 12 years old, didn't even get a chance at my teenage years."
Delenn smiles, "Well now you have a chance." Delenn walks at a papers, on it in big letter as this: REIGN OF RULERS RETURN, DARK LORD RETURNS, RUMORS OF GATHERING PROPHECY. Could this be it, the greatest war on the horizon?
