Typical legal disclaimer: I dont own Highlander or Star Trek or Babylon 5
Minor changes to TOS. The fifth episode in season one
"The Naked Time" takes place 1 month after the 21st episode in
season 3 "Requiem for Methuselah" Highlander is merged with the
TOS universe though one could argue that with the 21st episode
in season 3 that's already happened and is cannon...
Babylon 5 takes place during the movie "In The Beginning"
I would like to thank my Beta Readers Rastamon in particular for helping me finish faster than I normally would have.

There was a brief flash of light and a small shuttlecraft bearing the name Da Vinci appeared. At full impulse it headed in system to the planet Psi 2000. Inside the shuttle sat a brooding man with a dark attitude.
"Soon Captain Kirk," he said. "Soon you will meet my revenge!"
The Da Vinci shuttlecraft began docking procedures with the Enterprise but there were no hails to its approach. No one was there to greet him as he exited in the docking area. Mildly confused but still resolute in purpose he found the nearest computer terminal and requested the location of James T. Kirk from the computer.
"Working... beep beep beep," came the answer. "Captain Kirk is in engineering."
An asian man leaped out of the turbolift dressed only in a pair of black pants brandishing a fencing rapier. "Richelieu beware," he said and chuckled. He lunged forward a few times with the sword and looked around trying to find someone... anyone. He looked around the corner and spied a older looking gentleman asking the computer where engineering was. Sulu Jumped out into the way and pointed his rapier at the man and said. "Stand! No farther," he chuckled again and took a fencers stance with his sword outstreched infront of him and his hand held above him as he shuffled forward towards him. "No escape for you, you either leave this swab bloodied or with my blood on your sword!" and with that he charged Flint the immortal.
Flint looked up at the sweating Japanese man thrusting a French rapier toward him. "A mortal." He scoffed at the wiry man thinking to defy one who has lived through the centuries, the millenia, seeing cities and empires turn to dust. And a mortal now thinks to block Flint from his righteous vengeance on Kirk for the death of his daughter. Flint flowed forward, dancing the basic forms of his swordplay, swatting the French rapier aside, turned his sword upside down and drove the pommel down onto the insanity-slowed Sulu's head. Flint looked down at Sulu unconscious on the deck and muttered resentfully, "Different century, same fool mortals." He shook his head and turned back to the terminal, already forgetting about the mortal.
"Computer, where is engineering located?"
"Engineering is located on Deck 15, O deck"
Kirk was occupied with a stunning blonde. His hands were around her waist and he was kissing down the side of her neck.
"Mm m... how come i haven't seen you around here before?" he mumbled while continuing to kiss her neck. "Think of all the lost time we would have had together!"
Yeoman Rand didn't say a word, too occupied with the captain's activities upon her body. Enjoying the moment she had secretly longed for all these years. It was better than she had ever imagined and wanted nothing to more than to have it continue forever.
"Get out, get out," screamed a young man with dark brown hair as he came running into engineering. He smirked at everyone and then claimed, "I am Captain Riley of the U.S.S. Enterprise and i order you to get out!"
The few people lingering in the area watching Rand being felt up by Kirk turned and looked at the others there and then slowly shuffled their way out of the room.
"I'll kill him for interrupting me," were the first thoughts that came to Rand's mind, but Kirk just waved the man off lazily with one hand and continued with what he was doing much to her eternal enjoyment. Many minutes later after being ignore totally by the pair who's shirts were half way off at this point, the delusional pretender came up with the brilliant plan of trying to forceably make the love struck pair depart the area. Kirk barely needed one arm to fight off Riley's feeble attempts. The pretender geared up for another assault when another figure entered engineering. A fairly tall gray-haired man strode purposely into engineering with a wickedly sharp rapier like sword in hand.
"I have come to claim revenge for the death of my daughter Kirk," demanded Flint through clenched teeth. "And what do i see before me not a month later? In the arms of another woman? You will pay Kirk... with your life!"
Kirk finally looked up from what he was doing and casually replied back, "Can't you see I'm busy here? Go away, you can't have her, she's mine!" He resumed kissing the blond goddess he had luckily found, while she started giggling softly to herself.
Dr. Adams slowly stood up and checked to make sure everything was working properly. He had been hired after showing his designs to Star Fleet for a space saving starship laboratory. The astrometrics lab, a slight variation on the stellar cartography lab inherent in all starships, this version did the same yet took up a quarter of the space. This was his brainchild, his baby. Starfleet was quick to try and save as much space as it could on its starships, and thus here he was on its trial run on the federations flagship no less. Granted it looked a little different than your typical starship protocol, but allowances were made due to the fact that Dr. Adams wasn't part of starfleet, after all a small indoor putting green wasn't typical starship regulation. Due to the extent of all the possible information his station would have to handle, and to monitor the experimental program, he was given a smaller secondary ships computer which took up the space his project had freed up.
"Cassandra, give me the ships current status"
"Working... currently this ship is in stationary orbit around the planet Psi 2000. However ship personnel are not at their proper posts. Given such information the likely hood that this ship will enter the atmosphere is at 80.567 within the next hour"
Adams reached down and tapped his com badge. "Captain Kirk what is going on? Is everything under control?"
The only thing he got back in reply was some soft giggles from a feminine sounding voice and a few other undecipherable noises.
"Well, this is a fine mess," he thought. "Cassandra, please locate Captain Kirk."
"Working... Captain Kirk is in engineering."
Always interested in his wellbeing. Adams quickly decided to find out for himself through the captain what was going on and started his way to deck 15. Halfway to O deck Adams abruptly stopped sensing a certain ringing like feeling that made the hairs on his neck stand up and made a detour to his cabin. He stopped just outside of engineering and was able to witness kirk infuriate Flint.
"Can't you see I'm busy here? Go away, you can't have her, she's mine!" Kirk resumed kissing yeoman Rand as she started giggling.
Flint looked like a volcano about to explode and wildly waved his sword in the air as he started to charge towards kirk. The captain and rand never even noticed his approach and Riley had decided that he needed another area to proclaim his superiority. Closer and closer flint came and when he reached a certain point he swung his sword from overhead trying to cleave his hated interest in two. Flint looked down at Kirk expecting to see him cleaved in two but to his dismay his sword had been blocked by another.
"Tisk tisk, trying to kill an unarmed man... a mortal one at that, how uncivilized you've become Akharin," mocked Dr. Adams.
Akharin took a look at the man who had blocked his sword and exclaimed, "You! What are YOU doing here?"
"You may have a claim for revenge against this man," Adams replied as Kirk and rand made their way to a less violent place. "But i believe my claim of revenge on you predates yours. I WILL have your head for what you've done to me!"
"So be it then... one way or another only one of us will remain." Akharin leaped back a few feet and took a ready stance sword extended and his other hand hovering just slightly above his waist. "Prepare yourself Methos!"
