Return of a Legend

Part 28 Reprieve PG-13

Missiles sliced into the unsuspecting baseship. It had clearly not been expecting an attack from the rear. The four ships had been so intent on destroying the Galactica that that had failed to consider that they might not be the only ones in the area.

The Dragonstar moved in like the dragon it was named for. It's plasma cannons spitting out fire. This the name Dragon star. The smaller ships were not holding anything back as a second base ship was aflame.

"Apollo?" Starbuck said "The war book it says those are DragonStars, frak wait that is impossible! The ships firing the missiles are Firestars. Apollo no one uses those anymore. I mean they are…. The last ones were sold to Delphi twenty yearns ago."

"Well they used DragonStars Starbuck. I don't know. Wait they are launching fighters. Those are not vipers are they?" Apollo asked. "I can not get a confirmation on the ship type but they are registering human pilots. I would say we just got an other miracle !"

"Yeh think!" Boomer quipped. He was still in shock as a third base ship shuttered under the plasma cannons of the DragonStars.

"Four down and two to go." Sheba said with a grin. "We need to cut these raiders down for size. But I am low on fuel."

"Head back in Sheba. Rearm an d fuel." Apollo ordered. He rolled and fired on a trio of raiders that was sneaking up on Starbucks tail. "Watch yourself Bucko." he teased.

Adama watched in shock as the third baseship exploded and the fourth rocked. He was as shocked as his pilots at what he saw. However he wasted no time on speculation. "Move us in Tigh I want to take out that wounded baseship and Athena hail those ship!"

"I am on it Father." She said rapidly trying to contact the new arrivals. I just hope they are friendly she thought.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Commander Zechariahs smiled as the Cylons baseship exploded. He owed those bastards a surprise party or two. He was just grateful that his patrol had spotted the Galactica and her before it was to late. His com went off and he answered it.

"Greetings Commander Adama It is a pleasure to see you once more." He was smiling and Adama grinned outright.

"I must say your timing is impeccable as always Prince Zechariahs. Thank you does not seem enough."

The prince grinned at this. "NO problem Adama. Ah I see you have my niece at your side. I am pleased."

Arian blushed deeply.

"Nice to see you to uncle. I am well."

"Then it seems my arrival was most fortuitous. I have some good news as well. Once we rid ourselves of these pests I will tell you more. King Darius is alive."

Arian almost passed out with relief. Thank the Lords. It meant she was no longer going to have to be a queen. She could simply be Adama's lover. There would be no pressure on her beloved to do the "right thing." While she wanted him as her husband she did not want it because he had to because she was a queen. No this gave them time and options.

"As you said we can discuss it when we get rid of the party crashers." Adama said with a grin.

TBC….
