Lost Tribes
Part 29
"How is Hades? Name." Adama said. He looked at the read out the ship had locked a fired in 2 microns flat.
"Sir we are at 150 percent efficiency." Riel said "Our locks and firing faster than colonial standard. I running systems check Sir someone reprogrammed the cosmotrons. They are now 400 percent faster.
"Zee ... My son reprogrammed the whole bloody ship. Well I have to talk to him latter about it. Let's put it to good use. Lock and fire at will let's see if we can get another base ship or 2. We don't want Cain rot have all the bragging rights. We would never live it down."
" To the part side we a Cylon destroyer coming in blazing. Port missiles at will." Noah commanded "Dara we could use some cover here."
Mira prayed for her husband and his team. She knew he was determined to redeem himself so his children could be proud of him. He never believe she loved him despites his sins. He was a good man no longer the evil traitor. Yet he had to prove it to himself. She knew he soon face the demon Ibid. She prayed he win and come home to their family.
Bialys raged and joined the battle. He appeared at the Cylon leader side. Slowly commanding the Cylon fleet. The battle soon became more equal with the dark one running the raiders.
The Imperious Leader felt the presence at his side. He could not force himself to counter the orders. He watched as slowly the fleet began to regain the upper hand. He looked at his dark master. " Thank you. We would have been lost."
" Yes. I see this. Be warned Lucifer betrayed you."
" I know."
Lucifer saw the Battle star coming at his ship. "Centering get us the Frak out of here."
"By your command, but what of the others and the Leader."
" They are on their own get us to safety." Lucifer shouted.
Lucifer learned one thing from the human traitor Baltar that personal survival was paramount. His Base ship jumped into hyperspace leaving the others to cover his retreat.
The Imperious leader watched the battle. His forces were fighting to the death. He lost 3 more base ships bring the count to 10 lost. He could not believe the Human had found allies. How could this be cylons were the most advanced race ever created? Logical and clear thinking.
Iblis
watched in anger as the human fleet devastated his pets. He directed
the raiders to begin suicide runs the only hope was to disable or
destroy one or more battle stars. The retreat and regroup.
Micah
was tearing apart Cylon troopers right and left in his quest to reach
the command center. RoAnn, Rorke and the other followed him and
covered his back. None considered how he knew his way around the ship
they were just too busy wrecking cylons. The shock troopers fought
their way to engineering. The IL there fell to their lasers as
Colonel Rashid secured the engineering section.
Cain trailed the group finishing off the stray Cylon. He wondered if he was right was Micah actually Baltar wearing a new name and face? He was confused and angry all he knew is he wanted to be sure. Sure that if Micah WAS INDEED Baltar that he did not leave this ship alive.
Adama left the Galatia's bridge he had a feeling he be needed on the base ship. He races for a viper. Eve moved her ship to cover the Galactica. The suicide runs could destroy a Battle star. Her Fire stars guns blazed driving or destroying all raider foolish enough to come close.
Roma sighed. The cylons were starting to annoy her. Did the bloody things never get tired? She sipped her drink as her ship fires on nearby destroyer. The Cylon fired and hit their port side took a direct hit dead in space. "Atraties we lost the port engine." The missiles from the fire star destroyed the guns. The destroyer pulled back.
"I know it will be back on line in three centons."
"Make it two we got a cruiser headed straight for us." Commander Roma said
"Got
it hit the jump now." Atraties ordered. The ship jumped and left
the startled cruiser standing still.
Roma rolled her ship bringing
her forward lasers to bear. They ripped a hole in the rear end of the
cruiser. That ship was going nowhere.
" Bloody hell Roma warn us before you do that." Atrocities said stumbling to his feet.
"Sorry baby no time." she said. "Move us forward those scorpion, Jaguars and stingray's need a place to land refuel and rearm."

" Sorry commander I could not shake the thing." Starbuck shouted "Thanks for the assist."
Roma
rolled her eyes sometime she wondered how pilots lived so long.
Noah
watched the battle with stage sadness. So much devastation. He been
raised a warrior but he knew that this battle be etched in his mind
for all eternity.
He looked out and watched as his son's fire star protected the RYCON. That Battle star was a freighting thing to watch. Her commander had no fear and had already destroyed a fair number of Cylon vessels. He stroked his medallion somehow feeling this was more than a war between cylons and Humans. He sent this thought to Adama and to Cain. Both men Jerked and turned listening to his words. Adama passed it on to his other Command Staff.
Adama
had to agree this was not simply a two species war it was a war
between the forces of light and goodness and the foresees of hell
itself.
Thigh's cruiser moved in. It fired and covered the Galactica. Not since the night of the destruction had he seen so much devastation. His only comfort was this time this time it was the cylons caught off guard. Even as the battle seemed to become a slug fest Tigh held on to hope and his new found faith. "Please lord please let us wins."
As
his ship took damage and gave back he saw a stage light. It glowed in
the distance. Then from nowhere the cylons were hit again. "By
the lords." Tigh shouted. He watched as several more fire stars
dropped in. It was the fleet sent out after Noah. They must have
returned home found the beacon and headed to join their sister ships.
Tigh shook his head in disbelief he almost was not believing it.
Granted
there were only four more fire stars but it was enough. The ships
closed in like a lupus pack on a lone base ship. The cylons never
even saw the missiles that ripped them apart.
"I
never in a million years would have believed this possible." he
said
"This has to be a dream." No way we can actually be out gunning the cylons." Boomer shouted.
"Boomer if it's a dream or we are in Heaven doesn't wake me up." Apollo responded. "Green bean on your starboard side." He rolled and took out the lead in a pinwheel attack.
"Thanks Apollo." Came the reply "I owe you a drink."
" Hey Green bean I saved you earlier." Starbuck said
"Yes after I saved you 3 times." Green beam laughed. Amazed that he was actually having fun despite the battle.
"No fighting you 2 there enough cylons for everyone to shoot." Apollo laughed
Commander Dane moved along the corridor. He was heading for the garrison. He was not about to allow the Cylons a chance to emerge and even the odds. He opened fire on several centurions. A golden one struck out with his sword and Dane fell to the ground. He was certain his life was over when suddenly the Cylon was tossed back. He looked up to see a heaving Zac. His hand herald out. He tossed the Cylon like a price of trash into the oncoming troopers. Then Dane watched in awe as the riffles on the wall rose up and moved in front of him. Then opened fire. The abridge devastated the cylons forcing them back. The door to their quarters swung shut and the rifles blasted a seal on the door. Dane then saw Zac fall forward. His energy for the micron spent. Dane crawled to Adama's youngest side. "I don't know how in Hades you just did that. But Thank you Zac. I owe you my life."
Zac smiled wanly " Respectfully Sir we are even." He then passed out.
Dane cursed checked his pulse and called for RoAnn " Zac is down I need a medic. We sealed the garrison off."
"Go Help Adama's son he cannot be lost this time." Micah ordered.
Rorke nodded and he and RoAnn ran to the garrison. A centurion jumped out in front of RoAnn swinging down with his sword. She leaped back easily and landed a roundhouse kick. Her powerful cybernetic legs sent the catering crashing into the wall wearing her size 6 boot print.
"Nice kick .Remind me not to get you angry at me." Rorke said laughing
"Very funny lets go." RoAnn said laughing finally enjoying her new legs. She found she had to slow her pace for her future husband to keep up. They found Dane guarding Zac. RoAnn knelt down beside her younger cousin. a Quick exam showed he merely exhausted himself." Commander He will be fine he just is dead tired. Whatever he did to save you took a lot out of him. "Dane relaxed and helped Zac to his feet." Where is Micah?"
"Commander he headed for the command center. It's strange almost like he been here before?" Rorke said.
Cain burst in Laser drawn and faced the 3 warriors. "Easy you 3. He has been here before likely many times. That Micah I know who he is. We have to stop him before he betrays us once more. That man Baltar."
Zac jerked up and awake" We got to stop him!" He tried to stand and collapsed. "Frak. You go I'll stay here if they start getting lose I will blast them." He said pointing to the garrison.
'Blast Cain always was to intuitive. 'Gai said 'Jon we have to help Baltar. but how?'
' Easy we send the remaining seals and seal holders to the battle. Adama , Tigh and Noah. send the last 7 seals back. Give them to your son. He earned his chance to redeem himself. The seals will guard his life and increase his power. He Adama ,Noah, Tigh and Cain can defeat Iblis together. '
'But Cain wants to kill him!'
'But he won't once he realizes it Iblis that the true enemy. I will send Gabriel to enlighten him. GO Now.'
The Angel Gabriel smiled and shimmered appearing before the startled Commander Cain.
Adama was enjoying the battle for once they were driving the cylons back. All do a sudden he froze as a voice in his mind told him to get to join Cain and the others. On the Kobal's Shield Noah to raced for his fighter. Tigh sighed and launched. He had no idea why he suddenly felt he had to go to the base ship but every instinct he had said if he failed to get there the battle be lost. The 3 men meet in front of the GALACTICA and cut a wide path through the incoming cylons. They reacted instinctively to one another. No raider could even get close to making a shot. It falls before these legendary warriors. Warriors form the fleet looked on in awe as they saw the 3 ships cut their path.
"Apollo that has got to be Tigh and your father. Maybe Noah?" Starbuck said
" It is. " Let's join them watch their backs.
" I agree cousin. " Thor said falling in behind them.
A glowing being appeared before Athena and Aries. 'Child your people need you. Its time you take your place.' The light embraced Athena and she disappeared only to reappear in the corridor just in time to see Micah enter the command chamber. She felt something warm on her neck. Looking down she saw a Seal of Kobol. She had no idea what it meant but she followed Micah to protect him from the IL who slipped in behind him.
Xenia smiled the Rycon was definitely gathering Pay back for Molocay. She just wished her father could see them now. A soft light glowed and she found herself on the ship of light. 'Greeting s my child." Commander Kronous said 'You done well and I are so proud of you. I called you here to give you a little news. Even as you fight this battle here your older sister will be fighting Iblis. I never told you this but Athena is my daughter. She my first born and as such now holds our family and the Taurus seal. I sorry child but for all concerned I kept this secret. Now however she must stand with the others for only together can they destroy the evil that threatens mankind? You my child have received my Battle star and have made me so proud. Please don't hate me for this.'
Xenia ran to her father and embraced his now solid form." I loved you daddy. I like Athena and I hate politics so it well she your heir. I swear to support her always. 'Kronous hugged his daughter.
'Fight well and with honor I love you too!!' With that he was gone and she was back in the battle.
Cain
jumped back as Gabriel appeared'
Cain you may not kill Baltar you must stand at his side and fight
."
Cain
looked stunned and the raised his laser firing at the being of light.
"
Side and stand with Baltar. When Hades freezes over. He a dead man."
Gabriel sighed as the attack passed through him harmlessly. 'you must and so must the other seal holders or all of humanity is lost. Bethany tell him.'
Cain's wife appeared in glowing robes touching her mate so he could see her.' if you love our daughter you must . For Iblis plans to kill her and Apollo for defeating him before. Kill Baltar and you become as he is a traitor to humanity and you will forfeit not only Sheba's life but Apollo's as well.'
Cain cursed loudly in his native tongue" What must I do?" He demanded for he loved his firstborn with all his heart and could not would not sacrifice her for revenge.
Micah entered the chamber and fired on the guards. He always considered Cylon guardians as a joke. He ran toward the imperious leader intent on killing him. Only to be tossed back By Iblis.
As with Athena 6 other people appeared on the ship. Many were warriors looking quite shocked. However they waited no time joining the fight. The 13 seals of Kobol were now all present once more. Present together for the first time in over a 2000 yearns.
Sire Uri was a little shocked to find himself on a Cylon Base ship. More shocked to be wearing the Seal of Kobol. He was once more in battle dress. Something he not done in over 59 years. He held the seal. He looked at Athena and said ' Why?'
"I'd says we are supposed to be seal holders. Why or how… Lord only knows but we must use them to defeat Iblis." Ashe said
"I think this is getting a little strange but tell me how to help." He said as he grabbed a laser rifle and fired. He smiled grimly realizing he'd not lost his skill.
Jashua bright the Kobal's Sword nears the Rycon covering his wife's ship. He saw that she pulled alongside the Pegasus. Commander Xenia called over. " I hope you all stay in the battle this time. I hate to spend another 20 years stuck on a planet."
She still resented that Commander Cain left them. Of course her own father left the ship not knowing she was on board. However Cain should have returned to check to be certain no one survived. Had he not been so impulsive and eager to fight the cylons then the RYCON might have been saved. Saved and been there at Cimitar along with the Pegasus . The colonies might have survived. For Kronous like Adama would have had launched fighters and Cain certainly would have. It might have been enough to save the fleet. Then the colonies. In Xenia's eyes Cain was whose then Baltar for he put his own ego first. Not that she ever say that to him publicly. But the man was her godfather so he gets an earful once they had a chance to talk.
Micah entered the throne room. He was blinded by an exploding grenade. It was a flash grenade designed to disable the foe not kill them. He was immediately engaged by a troop of centurions determined to guard their leader to the last one.
Micah jumped back blinded.
Athena
helped him to his feet as he stumbled firing her laser and knocking
out several troopers. The battle was pitched as more centurions
joined all eager to defend their leader. The light had obscure Iblis
who dropped into the shadows. While he could not be killed he neither
was he allowed to touch those who were not his to command. He reached
out and began to bring back dead cylons.
Adama, Noah and Tigh
landed on the base ship. The men raced to the command center joined
by several other confused warriors. Adama however smiles as he sees
the lost seals. The legends were true. The seals always returned to
their rightful heirs when humanity needed their protection. He was
beginning to have a strange feeling. He looked at his younger brother
who nodded. Yes this was a battle to drive back the forces of hell
itself. He just hoped they could win.
Noah wondered if the new
seal holders had a clue what they soon face.
Apollo and Starbuck were a devastating team. They cut through the Cylons like hot butter. The Warriors from the human fleet were slowly gaining the upper hand. All around the space there was debris from destroyed ships human and cylons.
"Hey, Apollo I'm going in. "Jolly called." I am going to get a recovery team." He was not about to leave his stranded friends to be picked off by the cylons.
Apollo froze he should have considered that himself."Do it Jolly but be careful."
Apollo then rolled glad his friend was thinking more clearly then he was. He was just too happy killing cylons to remember to try to save the others. Then again it been a long time since they had a chance to do that. He sent a silent prayer for all the ones they left behind.
