CHAPTER 3: A new DAWN!
Voyager were under atack by the Borg COllective! It was horror. Many lives were sadly lost in that battle, which came to be known as the Year of Hell. In that Year of Hell with the borg, VOyager lost many good officers. They laid to rest Ensign Cavit, Captain Stadi, Lt. Tal Celes, Crewman Hogan, Chief O'Brien, and one of the Olsen twins, devestating her sister.
ALl hope seemed lost when Seven out of Nine, the drone whom the Collective had chosne as their reprsentitive, seemed about to betray voyager.
"All hope is lost," sighed Tom.
"Wait!" Ravin said, "I have an idea! I will use my mental pwoers which i have been practicing with kess."
"No Raven" Kes cried. "Your powers are too unstable! They're even more pwoer ful than my own!"
But Raven would not listen. Summoning all of her courage and strenght, tne young beautiful girl focused fiercely on the flame of her soul, and severed Seven of Nine from the Borg Collective. Seven and Raven both creid out with a loud cry, and collapsed unconscious.
Raven awoke to find something strange about her own body. Examining her hand, she saw her wrist was covered in a blinking Borg bracelet implant, that blinked like a blinking Borg bracelet. She also had a Borg bracleett implant on her ankle, and one shaped lik ea heart on her left tit. A Borg wheel stare sat in the middle of her forehhead, as if the divine marking her forever as different from the rest of her kind.
"No," Raven sobbed sadly. "I 'm part borg. Now I will ne\ver be human."
Seven of Nine, who had just had the last of her Borg implants removed, except ofr the ones the doctor couldn't remove, set her borg hand on Ravens shoulder. "Dont be afraid dear," Sevn said kindly. "I too was frightened to find myself UN borg not long ago. but togehter we can re discover our humanity on this ship of dreams. Our adventure is a melody waiting to be played."
Raven sobbed sadly. "I will never be huamn."
"Yes you will." Said a myseterious voice.
A mysterious figure stepped out of tdhe shadows. It was a tall woman with hair as brown as the earthy soil, and eyes as blue as a forgotten pool, stearing strongly from a bloodred uniform, black as ebony from the shoulders down. The woman strode forward and said "I am Captain Catherine Janeway and I welcome you two aboard my ship. You will both begin social lesssons with the doctor to recover your humanity. And also Raven youll continue your training with tuvok to harnest your powrs."
"Captain" Kess gasped. "My own powers are out of control! I fera i must leave Voyager or all will be endangered."
"No!" Raven cried. "I'll use my poweres to contain yours. I'll absorve your powers into myself Kess, with a mind-meld that tuvok taut me."
"No," Kess cried, "Its's too dangerous."
"But Kess," Raven said. "Ive seen how you and Tom gaze into each others eyes. You two were meant to be. I wont let you leave."
"Al right," Kess aid. "I'll do it, not for myself, but for my beautiful perfect daugher Linice you I saw in a vision when I traveled through time last year, and my grandson Andrew Kim."
WIth that Raven put her borg bracletted hand upon Kess Ocampy forhead and chanted softly, "My mind to your mind..."
(Authors Note: they are in the mind meld now. Just FYI.)
The universe of dtheir minds was dark and myserious as it was troubled. Kess's mind was filled iwth beautiful simlpe things, like flowers and eating bugs and her past with Neelix. But Raven's mind was turmoi.l due to her tragic life as a n outcast, reading books while other girls went shopping and walking through the forest while normal girls walked through the mall. Her sadness saddened Kess and the OMpalompan wished hse could help. But it was Reaven who was to do the helping now, not Kess.
Raven absorbed Kess powers, and gasped with the power. WIth her newfound power, she made all the Borg ships commnig at voyager explode, and then everyone cheered an clapped.
