A/N ok I know I have another fic going on at the moment but hey, im doing two now. READ BELOW OR ELSE YOU WONT UNDERSTAND THE STORY!

Setting 18 years from sometime in season 4. We are going to pretend that the season finale didn't happen and the season premier didn't either. The Magog World ship was not destroyed. It flew around for 18 years trying to pick off all the planets, who to their credit, put up a hell of a fight. The Commonwealth split in two. The Collection (run by collectors duh) and the Separates. They both pretty much ignored each other. Now the situation is bad. w/o a united force, no way the Magog will be defeated.

Shalimar Hunt engineer Alexander Hunt Weapons officer, second in Command

Gaheris Rhade II Captain of Andromeda

Oenone (Oh-A-No-Nay) Valentine Rhade Pilot - third to Command

Maria Toshiba life support & sensors Joy Gemini Medic & whatever is needed

OK I owe credit to Oenone (the fanfiction writer) for the names Gaheris and Oenone. They were both her ideas. 

Ok Alex & Shalimar Dylan and OC's kids

Gaheris & Oenone Beka and Rhade's

Maria Harper's adopted daughter

Joy Trance's daughter

Gaheris is 19. Oenone is 18. Shalimar and Alex are twins and 3 months younger then Oenone. Maria is 16. Joy is unknown. She joined the Andromeda recently but Trance had her a long time ago.

O-ne, Oenone's nickname, is pronounced Oh-Nay

Ok now to the story sorry for all this but I had to explain.

Chapter 1

The Andromeda was screwed. Trance, dead. Killed by Collectors because they were told she was helping Magog. Dylan and his wife, dead. Beka and Rhade, dead. Rommie, blown up. Harper dead. Oenone, Gaheris, Joy, Shalimar, Alexander and Maria stood on Command.

"All Magog have left the ship or been destroyed." Andromeda said. She looked extremely sad. No wonder. Her Captain just died.

"They're all dead...all of them..." Joy said softly to herself. Her mind rewound to the announcement Trance made a month ago.

"Dylan, the Collectors know where I am." Trance said.

"Well yeah, you are on Andromeda." Dylan responded.

"No, I mean, they found my star." Trance said.

Everyone in Command looked at her. They had known she was a star avatar for a long time.

"I have to go." She said sadly.

Trance hugged everyone in Command except Dylan and Joy.

"Good-bye Harper, Rhade, Beka, Rommie, Shal, Alex, O-ne, Gaheris, Maria, goodbye."

She then turned to Dylan and hugged him. "Dylan, you will die if I stay. The Collectors are sending a Nova Bomb. I don't know when it will hit but it will be soon."

"Why can't you stay?" Harper asked, "Can't you sever yourself for the star, like I can sever Rommie from the AI core?"

Trance looked down sadly, a tear running down her cheek. "It doesn't work like that..."

Trance walked over to her daughter, Joy. "I'm sorry, I will miss you." Tears rolled down Trance's cheek. Joy nodded, crying too. "You know what you have to do." Trance said.

"Yes Mother."

Trance smiled through her tears. "There is nothing I can do. Nothing you can do. Good-bye."

"Trance's slipfighter is away." Rhade said. All of the sudden, in a flash or gold light, the slipfighter exploded in a sphere of fire.

"NO!" Joy's anguished cries echoed through Command.

Joy shook the memories from her mind.

Gaheris stood with his arm around his little sister's shoulders. Gaheris was named after his ancestor in what he believes in hopes that he would be better. Also, Dylan had told him that Gaheris was doing what he thought would be right, for the least amount of suffering. Personally, he would rather be named after a hero, not some one who was judged a traitor but a name is a name. Gaheris couldn't help but think back to when his and Oenone's parents died.

"Dylan," Maria said, "We are receiving a message from the Maru."

"Put it up." Dylan replied.

"Dylan!," Beka shouted," We got the parts we need, the only problem is we got Magog too!"

"Hang in there Beka! We'll help..."

"No! Too late! Gaheris, Oenone, your father and I love you!" Beka said.

"Mother! We can still..."

"No, I cant risk you all getting hurt! Just promise me when we are dead, you suck these bastards out of the Maru!" Beka shouted over all the noise in the Maru.

Just then the transmission broke up. Then the Maru exploded in a fiery hell.

"No!" Oenone shouted. "Mom! Dad!" Oenone lunged at the screen as if getting there would save them.

"No, O-ne. they're gone, they're gone." Gaheris said, taking his sister by the shoulders.

"No!"

"They are gone." Gaheris said. He pulled his sister into a hug as she cried on his shoulder.

Gaheris was shaken from his thoughts by the sight of silent tears falling down his sisters face and he knew she was thinking the same thing he was.

Maria looked at the ground. Harper was the closest thing she ever had to a father. He had saved her from starving on a drift when she was 7. Even though she was Syrian, he raised her as his own. Now he was dead. They had been fighting Magog, a week after Beka and Rhade's death....

Magog were shooting and there was a hull breach on Harper's way to the slip stream core. Everyone knows what happens when there is a hull breach. Everything and everyone is sucked out.

Maria looked up to see Shalimar and Alex talking in low voices.

Shalimar and Alex, being Dylan's children, were the most recent to lose their dad. Their mother had died shortly after their birth. Then, about three hours ago...

Magog had punctured the hull. They were all over. Dylan and Rommie had gone to fight them. They were attacked from behind. They killed Dylan, their dad. They blew up Rommie. Their friend, their mentor.

Now, all that was left was Joy, Shalimar, Alex, Oenone, Gaheris, and Maria. The crew's children.

"Why did they have to go?" Shalimar asked to no one in particular.

"I don't know." Alex shrugged. "Maybe it was fate."

"NO! They shouldn't have died!" Joy said unexpectedly. "This wasn't supposed to happen! Now, we have to fix it!"

A/N I know this is border lining what others have done and im sorry but this is different. Press the little purple button please. I want to know what you think.
