Ripple Effect

"This story takes place in what is now the future, in the mid 32nd century, about 1,095 years after Trip and T'pol dealt with Terra Prime, saved the cloned daughter, Elisabeth, and the day they got married. Here in this story will tell why history never recorded it and why the following events have led to Commander Tucker's untimely death. Including those who were responsible for that change. What will the Federation do to fix history to how it was before it got altered by this enemy force? But, beyond anybodies knowledge of understanding the true goal of their real plan to rewrite history, and that there are forces at work here that were responsible for their existence. And that there are things beyond anyone's level of comprehension. What will happen to Earth, Starfleet, the Federation and to the entire Universe it's self for that matter. But the most important question is... who or what started this in the first place."

*****(I do not own Star trek Enterprise or anything else, this is just fan fiction story... nothing else)*****

In the future in the mid 32nd Century, about over 100 years after the Temporal Cold War had ended, where technology has advanced to a point that anything is possible: "Warp Drive, Time Travel and finally in the mid 32 century, technology that lets a person to travel to any universe (including possible mirror universes) at will." And where the Federation and their allies have explored the Alpha, Delta, Gamma and most of the Beta Quadrant. And on top of that they made new allies with several new species called the Ugani, Yossaarians, Valkirian and many more which are from an unknown distant galaxy. But, what Starfleet and the members of the Federation don't know is that they are in great danger, and that something out there is about to change history across the universe and in the Federation... But who knows what will happen, what will change in the past due to an ancient threat that was banished from the known territory of our home galaxy. And what will be the consequences of attempting to repair the time line, put history as it was before and to prevent the deaths of those people who made history as it is today... The Temporal Cold War which had ended will pavé a way to a new war that nobody had ever seen before and which will decide the fate of the galaxies that exist and races that live in this universe and beyond...

"...HISTORY WILL BE WRITTEN BY THE VICTORS..."

1: Prelude

Several tall alien men walking towards a room with flashing lights. In the middle there was a 1 foot tall, 3 feet wide half ball like console on the ground. and an identical console like structure on top, but is held by four, three-inch cylinder rods on each side and one, five-inch rod in the middle. In the middle, holographic projections are appearing and disappearing, and showing the Earth's past, the early forming StarFleet and so on.

"Ah, at last, we have found what we were looking for." Said a strange-looking alien. "Begin the up link and connect it to The Ark."

The six aliens behind him went towards the holographic console and started to upload the data.

The lead alien who was still looking at the console, walked towards it and started moving the holographic moving images. Putting them aside as he was looking for something specific.

"Ah, there they are, hmm. NX-01... Enterprise," said the alien. As he was searching for other references there were different images floating around, including the Xindi, and their super weapon, The Sphere Builders, Terra Prime leader, Paxton making his speech. Some images were in the twenty-second, twenty-third and forth century, showing the Captain of the Enterprise in the twenty-forth century fight the Borg. Showing an image somewhere in the twenty-first century and a man between twenty to twenty-three years, driving a car. Then the Presidents of the USA, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Richard Nixon. Then showing a Human and a Vulcan in the twenty second century, which literally look like Commanders Trip and T'pol getting married in a Vulcan tradition, With their crew members next to them. Next to Hoshi Sato, was Cutler who was holding Trip's and T'pol's cloned, well alive and healthy baby, Elizabeth, in her hands

"Aarok, how are we doing with the up link?" Said the alien

'Almost finished captain, just a few more minutes." Said Aarok

"Excellent." Said the Alien captain as he looked at the moving image of Trip and T'pol.

He continued looking at the console in front of him

"When you are done, destroy this place and that device, we don't want to have any interference from Daniels and his Temporal Agent friends." As he turned and walked towards the exit, he tilted and turned his head to the left side looking at the Temporal Integrity Commission sign on the wall including The Multiiverse Division sign. Next to them were the United Federation of Planets logo, with StarFleet, Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite, Klingon Romulan, and thousand others. The alien captain looked at them and laughed. "Everything that they have accomplished will soon be erased from history... forever."

. . . Two years, three months earlier . . .

"Admiral's log, Stardate 827434.6104452056 . We have intercepted a distress call from one of our Starbase colonies on Archer VII. Starfleet is aware of the situation and that they are sending us to investigate and offer any assistance if needed. "

A gabled female voice coming from the ship's subspace comm in the Admiral's ready room "This is a priority one distress call to any Federation ship *static **static* our outpost *static* need *static*our*static* no effect" before she could finish, the transmission abruptly ended.

"that was all that we were able to receive," said the Vulcan Comm Officer in the Admiral's ready room. "And I have discovered something else."

"Care to share lieutenant," said the admiral while staring at the computer screen.

"Someone or something was attempting to jam their distress call. Which they have succeeded in doing until I managed to clear most of it up." Said the Vulcan.

Suddenly the ship dropped out of warp and both of them proceeded to the bridge.

"Sir we have reached our destination," said the Conn Officer.

"On screen," said the First Officer as he got up from his chair and stood next to the admiral. The view screen flicked and the entire crew on the bridge was in shock on what they saw: three destroyed cargo ships of Federation design, five Klingon transport vessels, including, what looked like eight Dominion and twelve Breen ships and three Xindi Reptilian ships. "Are there any survivors, any escape pods?" said the First Officer.

"I am not picking up escaped pods nor life signs on the planet," said the Operations Officer. "The sensors are also detecting debris of what used to a space station, but, the sensors are detecting a small object which is sending out an automated distress call, there are 2 life signs aboard."

"Hail them," said the Admiral. "This is Admiral John Hernandez G. Archer of the Federation Starship Enterprise-M, we have responded to your distress call please respond." He continued to look at the view screen for an answer but didn't get any.

"Admiral, the sensors are detecting a cloaked ship on the port side 700,000 kilometers away." said the Operations Officer.

Before the Admiral could say anything else, the unknown ship decloaked and fired at the Enterprise.

"Red alert, shields up, charge all weapons!" Yelled the First Officer.

The Enterprise was attacked again with her shields up, but the unknown ship's weapons went straight through them.

"They have destroyed all the ship's shield generators, most of our weapons are down as well, torpedoes are still operational!" Shouted the Tactical Officer.

"it's a Ugani Warship! Apparently they have cloaking technology and weapons we never seen before." Said the Tactical Officer.

"Those were chroniton torpedoes!" Said the Tactical Officer with a shocked look on his face."

'Where did they get their hands on those?" Said the First Officer.

"Sir, the lead Ugani ship is hailing us." Said the Comm Officer.

"On screen," Said the Admiral. The view screen flicked on and showed the Ugani Captain's appearance, he was dark brown with 1 inch long brownish, curved outward horns on the sides of his chin and on the sides of his forehead and vampire like teeth, with vertically slitted, red iris, blue eyes. He was 6'0" inches tall with a human like posterior. With 3 inch claw-like nails on grey his hands. Wearing a black leatherish uniform with red stripes on his sides and on the front of his chest) "This is Admiral John Hernandez G. Archer of the Federation Starship Enterprise-M what is your reason for attacking us?"

"You have two choices, you either surrender yourselves to us willingly or we will just have to force you." Said the Ugani Captain showing his vampire like teeth as he smiled.

On the Enterprise bridge, everybody including the First Officer were looking at the Admiral and were waiting for his answer. Then finally after moments he spoke. "We will not, now tell me what is your reason for doing this, we are allies!"

"You fool, you still don't understand what is going on do you." replied the Ugani Captain as he started to laughing. "Well then... it seems that I just have to show you then." Suddenly more ships de-cloaked behind the Ugani ship.

"Sensors are detecting thirty make that, sixty... more Ugani vessels and fifty-five Yossaarian vessels. On top that, twenty-seven Valkirian Flagships of unknown design." Said the Tactile Officer to the Admiral while he was looking a the sensors on his station console.

The First Officer finally realizing what is going on, he faced the Admiral "It's an invasion. They have probably planned it from the beginning!"

"You are partially correct... Commander... Steven G. Barclay isn't it," He said." To the Admiral, "you have ten minutes to make a choice."

"I will do no such thing, and what do you mean by... "partially correct"?" The Admiral shouted out.

"Your First Officer was correct about the invasion," said the Ugani Captain, "but we have planned this from the very beginning, the very moment the Universe was created and was still young, we were planning to "inhabit" this universe. But our comrades had other ideas. They have foreseen that an alien race, which you call "Ancient Humanoids" as well as other species would seed this galaxy and the known universe of sentient life. And they have foreseen the creation of such life and many other things like your Starfleet, the Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, and so on. That they will let it happen, our disagreements led to a war which lasted for over twenty-two thousand, five hundred years. After our defeat, we were banished and sent billions of light years away from this galaxy. We call our selves The Emperors, now after billions of years, we will destroy everything in our path and convert all sentient life into our own image and claim what is rightfully ours! Don't think that they will help you, because their laws prohibits them from interfering and helping the sentient beings in this existence, the only thing that those fools can do is watch, as we conquer galaxy after galaxy! Now, get ready to join your fellow officers and your allies." Suddenly, the Ugani, Yossaarian and the Valkirians open fire on the Federation Starship. Surrounded by the enemy armada, the Enterprise hopelessly attempts to repel her attackers so she could find a gap in the armada and escape to warp...

. . . Archer VII Colony, UFP Starbase : Five days, sixteen hours before the attack . . .

A female Starfleet officer sitting on a chair in the space station's ready room (which is orbiting a Class M Planet) and reading a letter on the PADD to herself out loud, "Commander Erica D. Riker, your request to transfer to USS. Terra Nova-C have been put under advisement. Until then you will have to wait for 1 month... blah, blah, blah..." puts the PADD on the desk. "Sincerely, Admiral T'Mal Elisabeth T. D. Tucker from Starfleet HQ." After few seconds there was a chime at the door, "come in."

The station's Security Chief, Jonas Palkavich comes in with a PADD in his had. "Commander, here's the today's criminal activity report," hands her the PADD to read, see's a different PADD on her desk. "A letter from Starfleet HQ I presume."

Locked her eyes on him without tilting her head, "And how do you know that?"

"No, I recognized that look everywhere. Let me guess they... denied your request to transfer" said the chief.

Not making eye contact with the security chief, "More like they put it under advisement. When did this happen?" Said the Commander to the security chief while reading the PADD in her hand.

"About 22 minutes ago, apparently 3 drunken Klingons decided to pick a fight with 2 Jem'Hadar soldiers. It took 20 security officers and myself to separate them." Changing the subject. "There were also 3 Ferengi arrested for smuggling illegal merchandise and then there is a refugee from Delta Quadrant who boarded Cardassian scout ship and was later transferred to a Federation Starship." The commander looked at him. "He was being hunted by the Hirogen." The chief sat on the chair that was on the opposite side of the commander, "He's an Antarian, one of 200 Antarians who have survived an attack on their home world 40 years ago by the Beta Quadrant race known by the former Borg Collective and to the former Borg drone, 7 of 9, as Species 2924. Apparently, the Hirogen and Species 2924 have signed an alliance agreement with each other. He somehow managed to board and steal one of the Hirogen ships and fly through the sensor net. But the other Hirogens ship saw him and were able to damage the ship's warp core before he destroyed the pursuing ship.

"Is Starfleet going to help them?" Said Erica, "Well we are allies with the Antarians. Starfleet could bring the refugees to this quadrant.

"That was the general idea." Said Jonas. 'But they placed some sort of Warp Field Detection Grid, that covers over one hundred eighty five light years in all directions which also give out some sort of radiation which prevents non allied ships to go to warp. In other words getting through the detection grid quickly at warp speed will be impossible."

"That will soon change when Starfleet finishes conducting their test flights on the Quantum Slipstream Drive. Which probably be in a few years we will be sending ships to rescue any survivors." Said the Commander.

Giving the PADD back to the Chief "Tell me one thing, why did you decide to serve on a space station?"

Jonas stood up from the chair on his feet, "I have served on four starships in my twenty years of service as the ship's chief of security, and in my twenty years of service I was getting transferred from ship to ship."

She looked at him with a confused look. "Can you elaborate on that please.

"I first served five years on USS Enterprise-K, which was severely damaged by an unknown spatial anomaly and had to return to dry dock for extensive repairs. My second, four years of service was on the same ship, which was then destroyed by five Malon ships. 600 crew members along with the ship's first officer and me were able to escape while the captain gave us time to get further away from the fight, rammed the Enterprise into that Malon garbage ship of their's, destroying all five ships and Enterprise herself. Then I served seven years on USS Reed, which had to return to dry dock for repairs after almost being "eaten" by some space born creatures. And finally, I served four years on USS London B, me and twenty other crew members got transferred to Starfleet Medical after being infected with a space born virus."

'Now I know why you transferred to this space station, all we have here are robberies, con artists and smugglers." Said the Commander.

You are also forgetting bar fights and drunken Klingons." Said Jonas.

"And what about you?" Said Jonas, "Why do you want to transfer to a starship?"

The commander sighed, "Well I want to explore the galaxy, meet new civilizations and stuff like that. But instead I'm stuck on this station."

"I know like twelve Starfleet officers that are on this station that have the same wish that you have" Chuckled Jonas.

"Yeah... oh Palkavich do you know Admiral T'Mal Elisabeth T. D. Tucker from Starfleet Headquarters?" Said the Commander.

"I have, I met her once when she accepted my transfer to this station... Plus her full name is T'Mal Elisabeth T'Pol Dragovich Tucker." Said the security chief.

"Dragovich? Wait she's Russian?" Said the surprised commander.

"One of her human ancestors was Russian, so that makes her part Russian, so yeah, she is. Which also explains her accent." Suddenly the station's lights start flickering on and off as the two officers started looking around. "third time this week it has happened, last month we lost long-range sensors and communications."

"Don't worry chief," Said Erica, "I believe our chief engineer is working to solve the power fluctuation problem."

"He's has been working on it for four days and still can't find the problem!" Said the angry security chief as he opened the door and walked away.

"Somebody gets annoyed easily." Muttered Erica to herself as she chuckled a little.

X X X

. . . Three days, seven hours before the attack . . .

Space station's operations room. "Lieutenant Commander Joseph Bashir to the Bajoran transport ship, you are cleared for departure to Deep Space 9." The ship then un-docks and goes to warp. After fifteen minutes the station's power goes down and comes back after eleven seconds. "Report!" yelled the First Officer, as he left Erica's ready room with her following him.

"The entire station lost main power for about eleven point three seconds." Said the Station's Science Officer. "The power outage resonated from the central core in engineering. The station is on emergency power." Said the Science Officer.

Over the comm "Engineering to ops, this is Kor'Ak, we managed to activate emergency power to most parts of the station including command." Said an alien engineer that looked exactly like a Ugani. "We had to shut down the core due to an overload."

"Could of you just warned us before you shut down the core?" Replied Erica.

"There was no time, if we hadn't shut the core on time, it could have overloaded and we wouldn't be having this conversation. The chief engineer is figuring out what caused it in the first place. He will give his full report when he's finished" Said Kor'Ak.

"This explains why most of the station's internal sensors went down, including life support and other systems seconds before we lost power" Said one of the officers who is sitting on a different console.

"Lets just see what we have, then we can worry about the rest." Said Erica.

"Life support is at fifty-two percent, station's comm system, most of the station's internal sensors are functioning including environmental controls." Said one of the technicians.

"What we don't have is long-range sensors, station's shields, subspace communications, defensive and offensive weapons as well as other systems." Said the station tactical officer."

"If someone is to attack us now we'll be defenseless" Said the Commander

"the good news is, we're not being attacked... yet. What do you guys think, sabotage or some random power fluctuation?" Added Joseph.

"We will get that answer when Nikolai hands in his report" Said the Commander

X X X

. . . Two days before the attack . . .

"So, tell us what it is, sabotage?" Ask the First Officer in the Commander's ready room.

"Undetermined, Nikolai can't find anything that would look like sabotage, but he did check the core's power output, he discovered that the core was giving out 40% more power than it should." Said the commander."He believes that the extra power that the main core was giving out was due to a singularity." Gives the Bashir the PADD that the commander was holding.

"A black hole?" Said the First Officer.

"That was the first guess, but actually it is some sort of subspace anomaly or something that has just formed 10 light years away. It's sending out some sort of subspace disturbance in a 25 light year radius, it also giving out some sort of electromagnetic gravitational field of some kind." Replied Erica. "Which explains why the core was giving out that kind of power output, and why most of the station's controls went offline."

"Is it still there?" Said the First Officer.

"The sensors say that it is still. I have managed to contact Starfleet HQ and sent a scout ship to investigate. The closer the ship gets to the anomaly, the harder it will be to stay in contact with them." Said Erica.

"Commander, we managed to bring 97 percent of all the station's systems online, but we still can't get the station's defenses and sensors." Said Nikolai over the comm.

"Understood." Said Erica. Facing the first officer. "Just in case this is was a sabotage, I want you to be ready for it. And tell our security officer to put a team of 3 armed guards at the vital areas on this base. And tell him to set weapons to stun, I want that saboteur alive. Plus you will be in command of the SVDS Yeht,-gav. Starfleet is sending ships to this location."

"SVDS ma'am?" Said the confused First Officer

"Starfleet, Vulcan Designed Ship, this is one of five ships that were built by using Earth and Vulcan technology." Said the Commander.

"Yeht-gav? That means... Justice... in Vulcan. Said the First Officer.

"It's literally a warship, unlike the Defiant class starships. It's about 112 meters shorter then Enterprise J. It is literally a combination of USS Enterprise E and J, the former prototype starship USS Prometheus and three vulcan starships including the starship, Soval. It practically looks like that timeship, USS Relativity and USS Prometheus. Even though it lacks incredible maneuverability it does posses great firepower, enough to destroy a single Borg vessel by itself. Here are the schematics of the ship." Said the Commander giving the PADD to her first officer.

Looking at the PADD and almost fainting. "Two, Thirty-three dorsal and ventral phaser arrays, including six phaser cannons on the front port and starboard sides. twelve torpedo launchers on the top and bottom front and back of the ship which can fire fifteen torpedoes at a time. Contains three-thousand Mark V Quantum and Chroniton Torpedoes, equipped with primary and secondary shields with advanced regenerative capabilities, including advanced ablative armor. The ship is also equipped with long-range sensors and as well as with Multi-Targeting sensors, which can attack at three to five ships and/or target points, this ship is also equipped with Point Defense Phaser Cannons designed for close combat and against enemy fighters and/or enemy torpedoes. Crew compliment is 2127, 103 decks, 4 holodecks, 2 sickbays with their own EMH and a ECH, 5 shuttle bays. 3 of them each hold up to 18 Unmanned Attack Fighters and 20 Attack Drones and the other 2 are capable of fitting inside 3 Defiant Class ships and 15 fast shuttle crafts like the famous, Delta Flyer, including 3 normal shuttles." Said Bashir as he continued reading on. Then stopped and faced the Commander. "Ma'am isn't this overkill?"

"I know it is overkill, but when you are dealing with Species 2924, you need will have to be ready for anything." Said the Commander.

"Ma'am?" Responded the Bashir in confusion.

"Rumor has it that Starfleet believes that Species 2924 are attempting to attack StarFleet and its allies. And we all know how advanced those guys are. It is just a precaution nothing to worry about... not yet that is." Said the Commander

"Well in that case they should send all three of these ships." Sad the First Officer. Giving the PADD back to Erica "If you excuse me I'll be getting ready for my ship to arrive." Added the First Officer

X X X

. . . Five minutes before the attack . . .

The station's ops "They should be here by now what's taking them so long" Said the Commander.

"I think we should contact them to see what is going on" the First Officer.

"Perhaps they have gotten into a little trouble on their way here" Said the Science Officer

"Commander I am receiving a transmission from the Yeht-gav." Said the Comm Officer.

"On screen." Said the First Officer."

Commander, it's audio only." Said the Comm Officer.

Both the commander and the first officer looked at each other, then heard a garbled voice over the comm channel. "This is the first officer T'Rel *static* spatial anomaly *static* gravitational sensors are off the scale (the officers in ops including the commander and the first officer look like they have seen a ghost) *static* we are being pulled in! I repeat *long static*

"Lieutenant pinpoint their last location!" Said the first officer to his Science Officer.

"I am unable, there is some sort of interference." Said the Science Officer

"I am trying to hail them but something is interfering with our comm's systems" Said the Comm Officer.

Suddenly the station got shocked by an explosion and caused several systems to flicker.

"What just hit us!" Yelled the Commander.

"Ma'am, the sensors are detecting several dozen ships de-cloaking," Said the Tactical Officer, "We just lost long range sensors! "The ships are not sending any "IFF" signals.

"Do we still have targeting sensors and weapons?" Said the First Officer.

"Yes sir!" replied the Tactile Officer.

"Then fire at the enemy ships" Said the First Officer.

At that moment the station's weapons finally went online and started firing at the ships.

"Commander, I am getting reports from the station that the attacking ships are Ugani and Yossaarian design." Said the comm officer

"Sir the enemy has engaged the federation ships!" Yelled the Tactical Officer.

Another explosion rocked the station and then three more.

"They're using chroniton torpedoes," Said the Tactile Officer. Another explosion rocked the station. "There are several hall breaches on outer decks!" Noticing an alarm on his console "Somebody just launched an escape pod." Just before he could figure out who did it, the console blew up, killing him.

As the station is getting bombarded by continuous attack by the Ugani and Yossarians, the other Valkirian ships de-cloak and join the others.

On the lead Ugani vessel. "Sir, the federation's shield generators are down, as well as most of their weapons." Said the Ugani Tactical Officer.

"What about the other ships?" Said the Ugani Captain.

"Some of them are destroyed, the other have been disabled." Said the Tactical Officer

"Send a boarding team to the disabled ships and to the station. Take everyone who is alive. kill all those who attempt to fight back, after that destroy the station." Said the Captain

"Captain, the station is sending out a priority one distress call!" Said the Ugani Comm Officer.

"Make it look like that someone is attempting to jam their distress call." Said the Ugani Captian

"Understood." Said the Comm Officer

"What should I tell the two Ugani occupants inside the escape pod?" Said the Ugani Comm Officer

"Tell them... to stay put and fly from the debris field ." Said the Ugani Captain

Inside the station as it is being hit, most of the personnel in the ops room are either dead or unconscious. Next to the comm station, the commander is sending a distress call.

"This is a priority one distress call to any Federation ship, This is Commander Erica D. Riker, we are under attack by the Ugani, Yossarian and Valkirian fleet! Our outpost has taken heavy damage, shields are gone, the planet will be their next target! We need immediate assistance! Our defensive weapons had no effect on their shields, send reinforcements immediately!"
