Disclaimer: Hello, and welcome back! I'm here with a new installation of, Times to be... If you haven't noticed... I'm still looking for a beta reader, and would appreciate any volunteers. On a lighter note, I'm finally going to be intergrading the frontier kids back into the story. Now, were also going find out who the second "Rika" was in the last chapter. Also, I would like it if people would start suggesting any ideas on how to make this story better. Well, that's all for announcements, now on the part that almosteveryone probably skips... I do not own Digimon, or Star Trek, only the people, and technology that I make. Any other similarities are of coincidence, so... Don't Sue Me!
Unknown Place, before the battle.
"The chosen are in transit." came a disembodied voice.
An interdimentional wormhole, unknown time
"AHHH! What's happening?" Shouted Koji, as he, and all the other chosen fell through the golden porthole that Ophanimon opened.
"I'm not shore." Shouted koichi.
"How did we get here?" Shouted J.P.
"How should I know?" Replied Zoe
"Is that light down there what I think it is?" Asked Takuya.
"I hope it is, 'cause I'm starting to feel sick!" Shouted Tommy.
"Ahhh!" They all shouted simultaneously as they fell through the exit aperture into a large pitch black room.
"Ohh, what a ride." Said Koichi, as he got up.
"Were are we?" Asked Zoe.
"I don't know, where's the light's?" Asked Tommy as he recovered from his upset stomach.
They all got up and walked around a bit, attempting to find any kind of light switch, until...
"Hey, I think I found the lights!" Said Takuya, as he reached for a small panel on the nearby wall.
Beeeeep. The lights flickered on one by one, dimly, but enough light so that the kids could see each other and more...
"Ahhh!" When Zoe, as she say what was behind the glass she was pressed against.
"What, what is-" Said Koji, as his own gasp, cut him off in mid sentence.
All the kids just stared at the sight in silence.
"I- Is that real?" Asked Tommy.
"Na- No, it can't be." Said J.P. just as koichi walked up to, and touched the glass.
"It's real. It's a real corpse!" Said Koichi as he pulled away from the glass.
"Look next to it, this one's perfectly preserved." He said, pointing to the glass coffin next to it, as the lights continued to flicker on.
"What is she?" Asked Tommy, as he stared at the alien, yet, familiar figure, with blue skin.
"I don't know. But, look, there's more as you go down the line." Said Takuya, as he leaned against the panel next to the blue skinned woman, as they all herd a loud beep.
Dong, dong. Went the panel, as it started to lift the glass case over the woman.
"Takuya!" Said Koji in annoyance to Takuya's foolishness.
"Aohh, oh, what happened?" Asked the blue woman, as she woke from her deep sleep, and opened her eyes, to a surprise.
"Who are you?" She asked groggily.
"Who and what are you?" Asked Zoe
"I'm lieutenant Quadka, now, who are you" She said as she looked at the kid's utter surprise.
"Were not telling you anything, till you tell us what you are, and were we are." Demanded Koji.
"Okay, I'm an Andorian, and you're on board the Timeship Phoenix. Now who are you, and how exactly did you get here?" Asked Quadka, as she stared at the six young children.
"Alright, I'm Koichi; this is koji, Takuya, Zoe, Tommy, and J.P." Said Koichi, as he introduced everyone.
"Alright, now how did you all get here?" She asked again.
"Were not shore, one minute were talking to Ophanimon, and the next-"
"Ophanimon! She's alive! It worked! I need to wake the Ahh captain." Said Quadka, cutting off Zoe as she ran off farther into the room.
"What did she mean by that?" Asked Tommy.
"I'm not shore, we should follow her." Said Koji.
They all started walking down the aisle with Quadka. En route, they passed by more stasis pods, over half of the people inside, were dead. Some of those who hadn't been in a decomposing state were of different species.
"Here." Said Quadka as she stood in front of one of the stasis pods.
"Who is she?" Asked Tommy, as he stared at the young red-head inside.
"Computer, what is the status of the pods?" Asked the lieutenant.
Agh, agh "Stasis pod one operational. Occupant is currently within normal stasis parameters." Came the soft, cool voice of the computer.
"What was that?" Asked J.P. as looked around for the location of the disembodied voice.
"That was ships computer." Said Takuya.
"How do you know?" Asked Koji.
"Your friend's right that was the computer. Computer, initiate revival sequence." Said Quadka, causing the glass on the pod to open and lift.
"Mmm, huh?" Said the young girl groggily.
"Captain, are you alright?" Asked the young lieutenant.
"Ooh, what's the date?" Asked the Red head.
"Ahh, I'm not... Computer, what is the current stardate?" Asked Quadka.
"Unable to comply." Said the computer.
"What? Computer what is the date in old earth calendar?" She asked, as her eyes shot open.
"Captain, what's-"
Eriiee, ah ah. The current date is September 17th, 2004, old earth calendar." Said the unique, female voice.
"What? We're up to early!" Said the captain, as her pulse quickened to heart-attack levels.
"Alright, that does it... What the hell is going on here?" Asked Zoe, as she began to frustraight.
"Who the hell are you?" Asked the captain.
"They would be the reason we're up so early." Came the lieutenant.
"How the hell did they get onto my ship?" Asked the captain angrily.
"We were brought here by Ophanimon." Came Takuya, answering her question.
Silence...
"I see... How is she?" Asked the young captain.
"What? What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Shouted J.P.
"It was just a question J.P." Said Zoe, while giving him the evil-eye.
"She's fine, but how, and why are you here?" Said koichi.
"We got here the same way you did... Ophanimon..." Said the captain.
Celestial Hall Digital World, unknown time
"You sent them to the Tamers?" Shouted Sarakimon.
"Yes, I did." Replied Ophanimon calmly.
"Why? They were only supposed to go only as a last resort." Came Charubimon.
"Because we all know what will happen if did that, everything would end up as did in that other timeline." Replied the celestial.
"You don't know that for certain!" Said Sarakimon angrily.
"We all saw what happened; I can't allow that to happen again!" Said Ophanimon as she started shouting.
"That was only a warning. It still might not happen." Said Sarakimon.
"No, haven't you noticed all the quantum shifts that have been happening lately? The timelines are starting to merge!" Said Ophanimon.
Just then, the entered room began to shake violently.
"What was that?" Asked Charubimon, just as Bokumon, and Neemon ran into the room.
"Ah, ahhhh! Madam Ophanimon, master Sarakimon, Charubimon, we're under attack!" Shouted Bokumon as he entered.
"By who?" Asked Sarakimon.
"We don't know, the only thing that we saw was a giant purple blob!" Said Neemon.
"Chaos!" Said all the celestial gods in unison.
Timeship Phoenix, 1557 hrs. (3:57 pm)
"Captain, half of the crew has been brought out of stasis." Came lieutenant Quadka.
"Good. Is Commander Akiyama awake yet?" Asked Rika.
"Yes ma'm, he's being examined in sickbay now." Replied Quadka.
"Good. Is that all lieutenant?" Asked the young captain.
"Yes there is... It looks like only seven hundred ninety-one of the crew and passengers survived." Said Quadka, in a grim voice.
"Wha- What? Are you shore? How? How could only a quarter of the crew survive?" Asked Rika in disbelief.
"It looks like the shields were over loaded and brought down about two millennia's ago." Said the seemingly young lieutenant.
The captain's commbadge suddenly chirped, as one of the security detail escorting the chosen spoke.
"Captain, one of the guest's would like to speak to you." Came the lieutenant.
"Go ahead." Said Captain Nanoka.
"Sir, we're on the turbolift now." Said the lieutenant nervously.
"What?" Shouted an annoyed Rika.
"He walked out of the room before I could stop him." Replied the officer, as the sound of the lift doors opening sounded.
A moment later, the doors to the ready room opened to Koichi, and the lieutenant.
"Captain, I'm sorry for not contact-" The lieutenant began to say, but was cut off by Rika.
"That's alright lieutenant... But you better have a damn good reason for barging in Mr. Kimura!" Rika said angrily.
"I want to know what is going on, captain. Why are there digimon on your crew, and were the hell we are!" Replied Koichi.
"No, I'm not going to answer any of those questions. All necessary information was already made available to you." Retorted Rika.
"Not everything was made available. For instance, what happened to Earth, or the digital world!" Koichi shouted angrily.
"That information isn't relevant at the moment." Came Rika, now in full starfleet mode.
"Koichi, maybe you should go back to your quarters for now." Quadka said, coming out of know were.
"Alright, but at least answer me one question, did we win?" Asked Koichi in a soft voice.
A long silence hung in the room for a long minute, until...
Chirp, chirp. "Captain, we're picking up three vessels exiting slipstream... One of them is Jem'hadar, and the other two are... Federation!" Came the disembodied voice of captain Rika's chief engineer, lieutenant commander Henry Wong.
"What?" Said everyone in the room in unison.
"Sir, I'm picking up several digitonic signatures... There ours!" Said Henry over the comm.
"How?" Asked Rika as she arched an eyebrow.
"I'm not sure captain, the timeline must have been at least partially, restored! Captain, the Jem'hadar ship has just been destroyed!" Shouted Henry as new information started to come in.
"Captain, I'm also picking up a faint trance-warp signature... It's Grigari!" Came the engineer, with tremble beginning to enter his voice.
"All hands, red alert!" Came Rika as she herd the dreadful word. Then said under her breath...
"No, not again."
