Two Vipers glided gracefully through the dark void of space as they patrolled around the large fleet of Battlestars that had arrived. This group was Colonial Task Alpha. The same group that had led the assault into Cylon space. The group was composed of eight Battlestars and twenty destroyers as escorts.
Kirk looked at the view screen as he looked at the fleet of assembled war ships.
"Colonial warships are moving towards us. Sensors show two hundred fighter sized ships on approach towards us. The Cylons have launched their remaining fighters and they are now powering their engines for emergency jump." said Spock.
"Captain, we are receiving a transmission from the lead ship." said Uhura.
The lead ship was the Colonial Warstar Olympia.
"On speakers." said Kirk sitting down in the command chair.
"This is the Warstar Olympia to the ship known as Enterprise. Surrender now and prepare to receive boarding parties for you unprovoked attack on our ships. Your ship is now the property of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol."
Kirk shook as his head at this.
"I don't believe it. I warned them and they go ahead and say we fired on them unprovoked when they are ones to fire the first shots." said Kirk.
"That's religious loonies for you. They don't take responsibility for anything they've done. If their gods say its okay for them to nuke a planet they just go ahead and do it." said Dr. McCoy.

The command center of the Galactica was silent as Nagala's transmission was sent to the Federation ship. Adama looked at the DRADIS showing the unknown ship and the Cylon ships.
"Great. I think Admiral Nagala's been chewing a little too much of Adar's crap. We fired the first shots at them after they said we entered their space." said Tigh.
"This is not going to end well for either side." said Adama.
"Commander, we are receiving a transmission from the ship." said Dualla at the communication station.
"This is Captain James T. Kirk of the Federation starship Enterprise. Your demands to seize this ship can and will be seen as an act of war. Also your ship fired first after they entered Federation space and fired on us after we asked their reason for being here and you ignored us. Since you are unwilling to take responsibility for your actions you have two choices. You can stand down and leave or you can try to fire on us in which we will respond with equal force. This is your first and final warning."
"Nagala has not responded. All ships are launching all squadrons and is moving in attack formation." said Dee.
--
The Colonial ships spread and closed in on the Enterprise in an expanding sphere. Destroyers and frigates flanked the Battlestars and the Vipers and Raptors moved into to board the ship.
--
"That went well." said Bones.
"I tried. Like you said over-religious loonies." said Kirk.
"The ships have surrounded us and their transports are moving in to board us." said Sulu.
"Red alert. Shields up, quarter power to phasers. Target the nearest ship and open fire." said Kirk.
--
The Colonials were met with complete shock as the Enterprise spat her phasers down on the nearest Battlestars and shot the engines and weapons storage causing them to explode. Other Colonial warships died as the phasers went right through any ship they touched. Vipers and Raptors launched their missiles and fired their guns but everyone was shocked as the shields blocked their weapons from getting through. The Enterprise ignored the fighters and concentrated on the Battlestars.
Her engines propelled her forward as she flew right through the Colonial fleet blasting or disabling enemy ships. The Colonials responded by launching thousands of nukes and fired their rail guns at the fast moving ship. There were too many to avoid and the Enterprise was consumed in a massive fire ball. The Colonials looked on with relief while the Cylons looked on in horror.
--
"Good. Now tell all remaining forces to finish off the Cylons before they escape." said Nagala.
"Yes sir."
"Admiral!" shouted the DRADIS officer.
"What?" said Nagala.
"The ship is still there!"
"What?!"
--
The Enterprise emerged from the explosion completely unscathed and flew at the Warstar.
"By the Gods!" shouted various Colonials.
The Federation ship fired two photon torpedoes that flew straight at the Warstar.
--
"Shoot down the missiles now! Direct all forces to . . ."
Nagala never had a chance to finish that sentence. The last thing he saw was a massive explosion that engulfed him, his crew, and the command center.
--
"The Olympia is gone!" shouted the DRADIS officer.
"Redeploy our fighters! Take that damn ship whatever it takes!" shouted Cain.
The Enterprise had already disabled nearly half the fleet while the remaining ships moved to bracket it. However the shields shrugged of the missiles and flak cannons and she simply fired her phasers again taking out even more Colonial ships.
--
"Recall our fighters and spool up the FTL." said Commander Adama.
"Sir, Admiral Cain will not allow us to . . ." said Gaeta.
"Frak Cain. This is her fault this is happening she's not going to listen to reason now." said Adama.
"All Vipers return now. Repeat come on home." said Dee.
--
"Admiral, the Galactica has collected her Vipers and ordered all nearby ships to retreat." said Fisk.
"What?! What the hell does Adama think he's doing? Get me Galactica now!" shouted Cain.
The CIC was rocked as the Enterprise targeted the Pegasus' landing bays.
"Attention Galactica, return to group and redeploy your fighters." said Cain into the phone.
However Adama did not respond. After all of her fighters were aboard the Galactica vanished in a flash of light.
"Wait till I get my hands on you Adama." muttered Cain.
However she would never get the chance.
--
In a few more minutes the battle was over with Colonial Battlestars either destroyed or crippled. The crews were evacuating by Raptors attempting to escape while the ships that were still FTL capable managed to escape.
Kirk looked at the view screen and sighed.
"Get Starfleet on the horn and tell them we need a large amount of boarding parties and transports to get those Colonials off." said Kirk.
"Aye sir." said Uhura.
