Well, people. This is a new story that is taken from Problems with the Colonies. Here is the confrontation of the Earth against the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. And it is also possible that I put the Cylons.
I hope everyone enjoys.
This chapter deals with how the Galactica Vipers are facing a dragon for the first time.
The flash of a white explosion had appeared out of nowhere in the silent sea of space covered with stars. The Battlestar Galactica ship had jumped to the correct coordinates when the FTL was activated. The jump was a success, and they had appeared in a region of space; with dark purple nebulas, wandering meteorites, and the luminescence of the stars.
The Galactica was to become a museum after serving several years of service after the Cylon War, but the declaration of war that made the Union of the Twelve Colonies to the Thirteenth removed him from retirement. William Adama and his Saul Tight had returned to their respective positions as Commander and Colonel. Upon hearing about the existence of the discovery of the old Colony Thirteen they found it very hard to believe, especially Tight, who had thought it was a lie, but when they saw the video at the Admiralty meeting as three ships of unknown appearance they had damaged the expeditionary fleet of Battlestar, made them all put in their previous posts. Adama was elevated from rank to Admiral, and set to put Galactica into operation.
The coordinates of a signal from Terran ships that had been located by a reconnaissance Raptor in the regions outside the Armistice Line had been documented and delivered to the Galactica. The FTL was activated, and disappeared by a flash of light; then they appeared in that area.
Having nothing on the DRADIS radar, several Vipers were deployed from the hangars, launching themselves as if they were tiny projectiles. They were around thirty-three; whose models were the new models of Viper Mark IV and VII.
The Vipers flew the space in search of some sign of the enemy, but they only found wandering rocks floating through the sea of space and nebulae; there was nothing else. All the Vipers were synchronizing the readings and the data by the radio that was transmitted from the Galactica CIC. Everything was normal, with no sign of the Terrans.
Until, till...
"Contact" said Lee Adama, Admiral Adama's eldest son, looking at the radar. "I have a contact in DRADIS!"
"I also!" Kara Trace told her, observing with surprise her radar, just as she listened to the frequency of the other pilots. "Frack, it looks like we've finally found them!"
"Do not sing victory yet, Starbuck," Lee replied with a frown. "An unidentified object is seen on the radar" Lee connected his frequency with the CIC. "Galactica, here Apollo. We have found an unidentified object further forward, possibly hidden between rocks of smaller or larger size"
"Apollo, here Galactica," Dualla told him by frequency. "That you and your team go with caution, there are possibilities that it could be an ambush, please be evasive in case of emergency"
"Understood, Apollo out" turned off the communication. "Apollo to all the Vipers, keep your guard up and do not separate or open fire when you give the order, Galactica has told us that it could be a trap devised by the Thirteenth Tribe. I want you all to be attentive!"
All Vipers complied with the order on each frequency.
"How in combat simulations, right, Apollo?" replied Starbuck with laughter.
"More or less, but this is not a simulation, Kara, keep your eyes open"
"Copied"
The Vipers advanced in formation without separating. All the pilots were ready to press the buttons to open fire and the eyes focused towards the front; each one guarding his rear. All had received training in test flight simulations in the Colonial Area Force, but they were no longer in the simulations; they were in the middle of a real war against their lost cousins. Many had different reactions when they learned of the discovery, most were anguished to fight against their close relatives, while others did so to return the path of the Lords of Kobol and make them join their other brothers in a single unified government.
The closer they got, the more sonar of each Viper's radars began to sound; the object was moving fast, very fast.
When Lee was going to say something, but his words were held back by a death scare. A large, wide-sized dragon had appeared in front of them, causing panic among the pilots and cries of exasperation. His body was covered with purple and yellow-breasted scales. His head was in the shape of a crocodile; with wide mouth, sharp teeth, amber eyes, and a crown of thorns with two horn on each side of his temples. It had four legs and a long tail; whose wings were connected in both of their front arms.
The strangest thing about the flying beast was that he had two little girls between ten and eleven years old on his back: no costumes and no breathing helmet! And being in space! The first presented a dress with black skirt, purple socks, bows and purple laces, a round cap that covered her long braided silver hair and violet eyes. The second had short white hair with green eyes, and thin build, whose skin tone pale; same as the same color as the first girl. She wears a black vest, dark panties and black long socks. His two arms are bandaged, but only his left hand is wearing a glove, and pink shoes. Around his waist is a belt of knives stored in his holsters, something that an older adult must carry. His expressions were of joy and fun.
The Vipers deployed, but half was destroyed by the dragon's flames; leaving only twenty Vipers.
Panic began to possess every surviving pilot.
"Oh, shit! Frack!"
"Lords of Kobol help us!"
"This can not be true! This can not be true!"
"Oh my gods...!"
"It's a nightmare! It's a fucking nightmare, frack!"
Lee decided to put authority on the situation.
"SHUP UP ALL EVER! We do not have to lose our sanity ..!"
"Losing your sanity?!" Starbuck screamed of fear. "It's a fantasy reptile frack, Lee! And he has two little girls on his damn back!"
"What?!" What he heard left him surprised. "Oh, Gods ..."
Lee Adama decided to send the drastic situation to Galactica. In the CIC they took it as a joke, but when they heard the screams of the pilots about that encounter. The whole center was submerged in a tense dark atmosphere. They could not believe what they had heard, but the sound of the dragon from the audio made them scared and afraid. Adama, in a panic of losing her son and Kara, told them to return to Galactica immediately.
The Vipers were reduced to ten, when half decided to arm themselves with courage and faced the creature, but were defeated by the throwing weapons of Jack The Ripper, and by the dragon's flames, while others were chewed by the fierce jaws. Racetrack and Skulls died by the dragon's flames.
The surviving Vipers were able to reach the bays in time as the two closed. The dragon circled around Galactica, roaring with a great roar. The shouts of the crew were heard in all areas of the ship, while the guards put order. Both Adama and Saul Tight, and the rest of the CIC operators watched in horror from the cameras as the reptile flew around the ship, as if it were a canary. They even saw Nursey Rhyme and Jack the Ripper on the dragon's back; laughing childishly: which made them all baffle
Adama ordered the jump of the FTL to shouts, but Gaeta explained to him that it was not enough, until the dragon began to push the ship, causing a serious damage in the instruments and in the shell. The dragon scraped with its sharp claws the metal armor, or jumped from one side to the other, amusing the two girls.
"FTL ready!" Gaeta announced loudly, through the damage in the command center.
"DO IT NOW, FRACK!" Tight shouted in a great voice and exasperation, mixed with panic.
Galactica sank into a flash of light, disappearing from where she had been.
The two girls shrugged and laughed, while the dragon flew through space, carrying childish laughter.
This chapter was the most fun I've written: seeing the face of terror of the Colonials to face a real dragon was fun.
This was not mentioned in a chapter on Problems with the Twelve Colonies, but on the introduction page; but still, it's fun.
