Star Trek Voyager

Battle's End

Chapter 4

Hirogen and Cave Fights

"How can that be?" Chakotay asked looking at Harry, "Scan the Hirogen ship again."

"Yes sir," Harry said scanning the Hirogen ship again. He shook his head in dismay again and said, "There is no sign of weapons fire on the Hirogen ship."

"Open a channel with the ship," Chakotay asked.

"Channel open," Tuvok said, "It audio only."

Chakotay took a deep breath and then bean, "Hirogen vessel. This is Commander Chakotay of the starship Voyager. Please respond."

"Voyager ship," The Hirogen replied in their haunted way.

"We re responding to your distress call," Chakotay said, "Who attacked your ship? We picked up no weapons fire on your ship."

"What?" The Hirogen said, "That is not possible. They attacked us."

"Who did?" Chakotay asked taking a step toward the helm.

"We don't know," The Hirogen said angrily, "We were passing through the Minnar sector when we picked up a few ships heading our way. They came in too fast and we had no way in stopping them."

"Just like the shuttle craft," Chakotay mumbled.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Seska smiled at Chakotay as she took two steps toward him. Chakotay gripped his gun tightly and didn't take his eye off his former lover. "How is this possible?" He asked shaking his head.

Seska smiled again and touched Chakotay on the cheek. He ignored the touch and asked again, "How are you alive?"

"What are you talking about Chakotay?" She asked looking Chakotay in the eye, "If I was dead, how can I be standing in front of you?" She paused and touched Chakotay again, "How can you feel my touch?"

Chakotay shook his head and said, "I don't know. But what are all the Kazon doing here?"

"That isn't important," Seska said taking a step back from Chakotay.

Janeway glared at Seska and asked, "Where the hell is Voyager and what the hell are you doing this far in space?"

Seska smiled at the two Federation officers. "We don't have time for this," One of the Kazon soldiers said, "The Federation could find us."

"Do I have to remind you to keep your mouth shut again," Seska said impatiently. Seska took a step toward Chakotay and asked, "What brings you so far from your base? Are you spying?"

"No we aren't," Chakotay said gripping his phaser rifle tighter.

"Then what are you doing here?" Seska said sternly. She took a step toward Chakotay and touched his chin. Chakotay quickly grabbed her by the wrist and pushed her hand away. Seska looked at Chakotay with hurt in her eyes.

"I don't want to have anything to do with a traitor," Chakotay said.

Seska swallowed her anger and said loudly to her soldiers, "Go back to base."

"But Seska…" One soldier protested.

"Do it," Seska ordered, but the soldiers refused to move, "Now!"

The Kazon solders lowered their weapons and to Janeway and Chakotay's surprise, they walked away. "I can't believe we are still having that conversation again," Seska growled, "I loved you and I still do."

"Then tell me why you are here?" Chakotay asked looking Seska in the eye.

"No," She said looking at both senior officers. She took a few steps away from Chakotay and then stopped. "I thought you'd understand what I did for the Kazon then. We could've had aid in that sector for only a simple replicator."

"See that's your problem," Janeway said, "You don't think big. If the Kazon got that replicator working, how could've you promised they wouldn't use that against Voyager."

"Trust," Seska said after a long pause, "Something the Federation holds dearly."

Seska walked away leaving Janeway and Chakotay alone. Chakotay quickly ran to the corner where Seska just turned and didn't see any sign of her. He gave a weird look at Janeway. "I don't know," She said walking back to base, "But let's get out of here. I need to question Ransom again."

A few minutes later Janeway and Chakotay found their way back to base. Janeway walked up to Ensign Webber and asked, "Have you seen Ransom?"

"Yeah," She said pointing to another tunnel, "He is over there."

Janeway and Chakotay walked to the specified whereabouts and found Ransom retuning the phaser rifles with Lieutenant Tuvok and Ensign Brown. "Ah Captain," Ransom said giving Janeway a warm smile.

"Ransom, we need to talk now," Janeway said. She looked at Ensign Brown and said, "Leave us now."

Ensign Brown looked at Ransom questioningly and he said looking at Ensign Brown, "Do as she says."

Ensign Brown nodded and left the tunnel. "Now what is the meaning of this?" Ransom asked sternly, "There is a lot of work to be done."

"Who the hell are you really?" Janeway asked.

"What are you talking about?" Ransom asked leaning against the cave walls, "We went through this already."

"Why are there Kazon in this cave?" Janeway asked taking a threatening step toward Ransom.

"There are Kazon in this cave?" Ransom asked, "How is that possible?"

"You tell me," Chakotay said.

"You tell me the amount of time you have spent in the cave and you didn't know the Kazon were in the cave," Janeway said handing her phaser rifle to Tuvok. She grabbed her personal phaser and took another step toward Ransom and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Captain," Ransom said angrily, "We have been fighting a deadly battle Kazon for far too long. You have no right to come here and question me. When you came I thought we could work together and find a way off this planet. But I was wrong."

Janeway exhaled heavily and shoved Ransom against the wall. She quickly pointed her phaser at his neck and whispered angrily, "What the fuck is going on?"

Ransom sighed and knew he had to tell her now. "If you remove yourself and the phaser, I will tell you."

Janeway took a few steps back and lowered her phaser. "You may begin now," She said giving him a distrustful look.

"I knew the Kazon were in these caves the whole time," Ransom said, "They are here for the same reason we are here."

"And what is that?" Tuvok asked.

"There is a ship buried in these caves," Ransom said, "A ship that would be able to get us home. The ship also has cloaking abilities."

"So what does this have to do with the Kazon?' Chakotay asked.

"The Kazon wanted it for the cloaking device."

"How did the ship get there?" Janeway asked.

"I don't know," Ransom said shaking his head, "All I know, is I need to get it to get off the planet. Now if you'll excuse me," Ransom said walking away from the three senior officers alone in the tunnel.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"How is she?" Chakotay asked walking into sickbay.

"The same," The Doctor said, "There is nothing I can do for her. We just need to wait for her to wake up."

Chakotay stepped up to Janeway and gently removed a strand of hair that covered her face. He reached for her hand and squeezed it gently. "Fight it Kathryn," Chakotay gently said, "We miss you here."

"So tell me commander," The Doctor said, "I hear we have encountered a Hirogen battle cruiser."

"Yeah," Chakotay said looking at Janeway, "The ship was heavily damaged, except there was no sign of weapons fire."

"Just like the delta flyer," The Doctor mumbled.

"Excuse me," Chakotay said looking up from Janeway.

"Nothing," The Doctor said, "But word on this ship travels fast."

Suddenly a number of explosions rocked Voyager. Chakotay looked at the Doctor and the Doctor shrugged. "Commander Chakotay," Tuvok's said, "Please report to the bridge."

"On my way," Chakotay said walking out of sickbay.

He quickly walked to the bridge. "Report," He said upon entering the bridge.

"Some kind of ship came up fast," Harry said.

"Damage report," Chakotay said.

"Hull breaches on decks 3 through 6 sections 12 through 18," Harry said.

"Any sign of the ship," Chakotay asked.

"None," Harry said shaking his I frustration.

"Commander," Tuvok said, "I was able to get readings on the ship as we were attacked for a brief second. The ships are in fact species 8472."
