*This story was going out on a limb for me. I really had no idea if people would be interested or not. It was generally well received though I wonder if it should be continued since Battlestar Galactica was never that widely known.

Enjoy!

Naruto: Eye of the Hurricane

Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Battlestar Galactica: 2003

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This is a little one shot an idea that won't seem to leave me alone so I decided to write it down. I may continue it at some point if there is actually any interest. I did look to see if anyone else had ever done this and a challenge idea was thought up by Darkhero21at one point but this story was come up with independently. For the sake of references I'm using Narutopedia and the Battlestar Galactica Wiki and Wikia. The story takes place several months after the movie Naruto: The Last. I'd like to send shout outs to Lord Farsight and Solvdrage for their input and ideas on this story.

One note; I pretty much suspended reality with the language barrier. Ninjas, Cylons and Colonials all speak the same language even though statistically it's impossible. I just didn't want the first ten chapters to be people trying to learn each other's way of speaking. The only thing I've retained as a difference is the Ninjas retain Japanese honorifics (i.e. -san, -sama, etc.)

This is a Battlestar Galactica AU of sorts. Unlike the 2003 series the Cylons didn't manage to commit genocide against the Twelve Colonies of Kobal but it did lead to a larger and even more violent conflict. For over a thousand years since the Second Cylon War (The Battlestar Galactica : 2003 Timeframe) the Cylons and the Colonials have be trying to destroy one another. There have been sporadic armistices but both sides have only used these brief times of peace to rebuild their forces only to start the conflict anew. There is the underlying religious aspect of the Cylons practicing a form of monotheism and the Colonists practicing polytheism based on Greco-Roman mythologies so many Greek, Roman and western names will be used.

Both sides have expanded their territories to some extent to gather resources to fuel their ongoing war. This has left behind hundreds of worlds and moons strip mined over the centuries for their resources and abandoned afterwards. Deep in their history, both the Cylons and the Colonials have heard of the mythical Thirteenth Tribe of Kobal and the planet otherwise known as….Earth.

Chapter 1

Space, Colonial Heavy Cruiser Minerva

The young Colonial Major named Airlia Cyme was currently in command of the cruiser Minerva. She was acting Lieutenant Colonel* of the cruiser given the loss of the Minerva's previous commanding officer. Their job was supposed to be simple. Even though the entire crew felt it was below them as a proud military vessel (a heavy cruiser no less!) because of their advanced sensor rig they'd been sent to explore an area for more resources to exploit for the war. Though it was a backwater area, apparently the Cylons were also in the environs –probably for the same reasons they were. They'd run into a small Cylon contingent that literally attacked in a suicidal manner. There were only a half a dozen Cylon Raider fighters there that could have easily escaped but instead they chose to ram the Minerva in hopes of destroying the ship.

The Cylons had been very precise as always. They targeted the fuel bays, the hangers, the Minerva's engines and the bridge. The flag bridge was hit killing Lieutenant Colonel Histria but Colonial Command had ordered the Executive Officer, Major Cyme to take command as acting Colonel and to continue the mission. Command also wanted the Minerva to investigate the strange behavior of the Cylons. Airlia Cyme was a rather brilliant young officer with copper red hair and green eyes. She had a curvaceous build and was rather striking. Cyme was addressing her reconstructed command staff about the situation. The Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Ilus Naxos reported, "Major Cyme, despite the loss of the flag bridge level the damage to the Minerva is mainly cosmetic and it will not hinder us in combat or otherwise. Minerva is a tough girl." He was a stocky fellow with a very dark complexion with two decades of service under his belt and Airlia was glad to have his expertise.

"How long till repairs can be fully affected Chief?" ask Airlia.

Naxos answered, "The flag bridge area is sealed and airtight again but repairing the command facilities up there would be impossible without a dry dock. As for the rest of the damage to the ship we have already taken care of it except for a fresh coat of paint."

Airlia nodded and turned to Captain Cineas Pisa who was now her Executive Officer….something he was very nervous about. He was an unassuming man with fair skin and sandy colored hair. While he certainly had book smarts he wasn't command material and he knew it. Cineas wanted a quiet job in the background of intelligence division…. "….Captain Pisa, are you listening to me?" ask Airlia.

Pisa blushed slightly. "I'm terribly sorry Major Cyme, I was just thinking about the lives we lost."

Airlia cocked an eyebrow at his excuse and then said, "Get your head in the game and out of the clouds Cineas. I want to hear your views on the Cylon tactics involved. Your background is in intelligence division so let's put all that training to work."

"Yes Ma'am!" said Cineas as he snapped to attention. "The Cylon's suicide attacks are very rare but not unheard of. In the past they have used them to protect isolated high priority targets such as fuel stations or shipyards that were undefended rather than escaping to call for reinforcements."

The young Major's eyes sparked. "Then there's a possibility that a high priority target is within the area and we are in a position to attack it….if we can find it."

"That would be my assessment Ma'am." answered Cineas with a nod.

The red headed Major went over a few scenarios in her head. They had twenty four Viper fighters aboard the Minerva as well as a detachment of four Raptor early warning types and two standard transport shuttles. "Send out three Raptors optimized for scouting with four Viper escorts each. We'll keep twelve Vipers here to defend the ship." looking at the course they were headed on before the attack she saw a star system in that path of little importance. It had a simple yellow sun, four terrestrial worlds and four gas giant planets from the long range scans. It had the generic name of Pi104 from when it was star mapped centuries ago. The only other star system in the area was a triple star system that had at least one terrestrial planet name Pi105. All in all both systems were unremarkable but since Pi104 was closer Airlia decided to check it out first.

The Minerva's science officer, Lieutenant Simone Samos held the same opinion. She was a tall, slender woman with warm brown eyes and brown hair. Simone and Arlia attended the Colonial Naval Academy on Caprica as Cadets together and were old friends. Turning to Arlia from her science station, Simone said, "Major Cyme, The spectrum readings of Pi104 show very few signs of unusual or heavy elements of any quantities that could be of use. All in all Pi104 is downright boring. It's just another ordinary yellow star. My cursory examinations show the Pi105 system is just as nondescript."

Smiling at her old friend Airlia said, "Maybe the system is ordinary but the Cylons may have brought or built something here. We'll get more data for you to feed you curiosity soon enough Simone. Even if it's a Cylon mining station or listening outpost it should be eradicated."

Simone sighed. "I guess we'll just have to hurry up and wait then." Airlia grinned and patted her friend's shoulder before she returned to the command chair.

Within an hour the communications blared, "….This is call sign Falcon in Viper 05. I have a priority one message. We've found something."

Falcon was the call sign for Lieutenant Junior Grade Chloe Syracuse; a talented young flight leader in the Viper squadron. "This is Major Cyme." answered Airlia. "Go ahead Falcon."

"There are three Cylon observation satellites in orbit of the third planet that we are currently jamming Major." said Chloe. "There are no signs of any other Cylon defenses."

"Any idea what they are observing Falcon?" asked Airlia.

Falcon replied, "Negative Major. Our Raptor is conducting a surface scan of Pi104c as we speak."

It wasn't long before the Raptor contacted them. "This is call sign Arclight in Raptor 02 Minerva, the third planet of this system is teeming with life Major!" The excitement in his tone was evident.

The entire bridge crew's eyes got wide. Major Airlia immediately asked, "Are there any signs of intelligent life on Pi104c? Are they Cylons?"

"We've already detected many small cities from orbit." reported Arclight enthusiastically. "They do not appear to be of any Cylon origin. Preliminary readings show the third planet would be fit for human habitation though it has about twelve percent higher gravity than the Colonies."

"Continue observations from orbit and keep jamming the satellites. We're on our way Arclight." commanded Airlia. "Helm, lay in a course for Pi104c immediately. This must be what the Cylons are after."

Fire Country, the Village of Konoha

D'Anna Biers was a young civilian woman visiting the Village of Konoha for the first time that was carefully chronicling the history of the ninjas and chakra users going back to Otsutsuki Kaguya and leading up to current time including the Fourth Shinobi War. She was an avid fan of history and all things ninja. The young blonde woman wanted to know more about the legendary Nishnu Religion as well. She had come to Konoha after journeying around the Elemental Nations for nearly three years writing her book on the subject. D'Anna was one of those that fervently believed that the ninja known as Uzumaki Naruto was indeed "The Child of Prophesy" and "The Savior of the World." She held him in great reverence –one might even say she saw him as some sort of messianic figure given her religious nature.

D'Anna was also something else entirely. She was a humanoid Cylon of the Number Three Series. They were often referred to as the D'Annas because most of them had used that same name through the centuries. They were very religious by nature and the discovery of this strange world ten years ago called Earth by its inhabitants shocked the Cylons to the core. The initial reaction was to wipe out all life on this world as the Cylons believed it was a nest of humans that were helping the hated Colonials. But when the Cylons discovered the planet had no defenses and no means of communicating off world a covert observation team was sent down by the Cylon's high command comprised of humanoid type Cylons instead.

After a short period time the Cylons realized this race from Earth had nothing to do with the Colonials and they determined it would a waste of precious resources to destroy this world's ecosystem. There was now a small garrison of standard Centurions hidden deep in the mountains in Lightning Country as well as the few humanoid Cylons roaming around studying the Elemental Nations. After nearly a decade of study the Cylons concluded these beings on Earth were in fact not standard humans….They were anything but and had powers and abilities far beyond those of standard humans. After doing deep DNA studies it was confirmed that these were Human/Cylon hybrids….The true children of God which the Cylons long sought to create in order to fulfill their religious vision.

Three years ago D'Anna Biers arrived on Earth and loved it all. Otsutsuki Kaguya was confirmed to have come from the stars and had miraculous powers that gave her the title of The Rabbit Goddess before her fall from grace. While Kaguya's history was truly tragic it confirmed D'Anna's belief that Kaguya was in fact related to a child born of a human male and a Number Eight series female Humanoid Cylon centuries ago. That child was named Hera. It was viewed as a miracle then and the Colonials claimed the child had died. D'Anna now believed otherwise. Everything fit the timeframe for Kaguya to have been a child of Hera or perhaps even Hera herself.

Not all Cylons were convinced but D'Anna certainly was. The DNA proved it. The net result of the investigation was that Earth was to be considered a sanctuary untouched by the war. The miraculous chakra powers of the hybrids was simply too impossible to ignore. The humanoid Cylons hoped that they could eventually form an alliance with the hybrids and begin interbreeding with them but at this point in time short of occupying the Earth it would have been impossible. Though the hybrids were far more advanced genetically than either the Cylons or the Colonials; it was thought their feudal society was still far too primitive technologically and socially to conceive (or survive) an interstellar conflict.

Even more so there were other continents on the Earth that the Cylons had yet to explore in detail. The people of those continents just had a sprinkling of hybrids mixed into the population of standard humans as opposed to the Elemental Nations which were made up almost entirely of hybrids. It hadn't been easy to infiltrate though. Unlike the Colonials which couldn't detect humanoid Cylons without extensive testing on a molecular level; the Human/Cylon hybrids seemed to have an innate ability to sense those without chakra. This had hindered things a great deal initially but the Cylons eventually concocted the story that they'd voyaged from the Southern Continent which wasn't known for chakra users. That seemed to appease most hybrids but they still were quite capable of locating the humanoid Cylons quite easily. To D'Anna it was both unnerving and fascinating all at the same time.

Furthermore, despite the general view of the Cylons that these were children of god and should remain untouched by the Colonial/Cylon War; there were still rumblings among a minority of Cylons that the hybrids could make incredibly powerful allies and should be brought in to help against the Colonials –and to help the hybrids propagate their species. It was a huge dilemma and D'Anna Biers was among those few Humanoid Cylons sent to Earth to determine if it was feasible for the hybrids to work in concert with the Cylons. Her estimations so far were that the hybrids were too divided amongst themselves and had no cohesive world government or religious faith to unite them….Which was where Uzumaki Naruto, "The Child of Prophesy," would come in. There had been prophesies that he was meant to bring peace to the Earth and D'Anna wanted to see if these were true. He had already been instrumental in bringing a form of peace to the Elemental Nations which hadn't been seen in centuries.

D'Anna Biers was excited beyond words as she passed through the welcoming gates of Konoha….

Naruto's Apartment….

Uzumaki Naruto woke up to the wonderful sensation of his beautiful fiancé Hyūga Hinata tongue kissing him sensually with her radiant body lying on top of his. They'd already had two rounds of passionate morning wake up sex and sadly had to get up given it was getting late. Hinata had a big argument with her Father about her public displays of affection with her husband to be last week so Hinata decided to move in with Naruto to show exactly how she felt about Hiashi's overbearing behavior. Hinata's little sister Hanabi thought the whole situation was hysterical. For his part; Hiashi was just being a stoic grouch knowing he'd lost this battle to his eldest daughter….

At any rate, the happy young couple still had three months until their nuptials and Hinata found that Naruto's little apartment was quite comfortable as far as she was concerned. She had never been happier and Naruto felt the same. Getting up and showering quickly so Hinata could have the bathroom to herself; Naruto was about to start some breakfast for them when he heard someone knocking at his front door. Opening it he found his loyal apprentice Sarutobi Konohamaru who was now a full chunin (and Hanabi's secret boyfriend). "Morning boss!" chirped Konohamaru. "Have you got any missions today since you're a big shot jonin now? I was hoping we could train together."

Yes, after saving the whole freakin' world twice from Otsutsuski Clan Members, Naruto was finally a jonin instead of a genin. (Kiba had a betting pool going that Naruto would remain a genin until he became Hokage….) Naruto answered, "Well, Hinata-chan and I were just getting ready to have breakfast and then decide what to do today. I haven't been called for any missions since that one last week to Suna."

Konohamaru sweat dropped. "You're just having breakfast? It's almost 11 A.M.!"

Naruto put his hand on Konohamaru's shoulder. He said with a slight blush, "When Hanabi-chan and you move in together you'll understand."

Konohamaru suddenly had a huge flaming blush of his own and asked, "Should I come back at a better time?" Naruto just laughed.

Hinata's head poked around the corner. She was in a lavender kimono with a purple obi and had a towel in her hair. Smiling brightly at Naruto's laughter she asked; "Did Hanabi-chan send you over to check on me again Konohamaru-kun?"

"N-no!" stammered the still flustered Konohamaru. "I just came over to see if boss wanted to train."

The Hyūga heiress giggled. "Naruto-kun and I haven't had breakfast yet but after we eat perhaps we can all train together. Why don't you fetch Hanabi-chan and meet us over at training ground sixteen at about 12:30?"

The still embarrassed Konohamaru quickly agreed and departed to get Hanabi leaving the amused Naruto and his byakugan hime to themselves to enjoy a late breakfast….

Earth orbit, Colonial Heavy Cruiser Minerva

Settling into orbit the Minerva quickly took over jamming the three Cylon satellites in geosynchronous orbit of the planet Pi104c. As the satellites were observation types and unarmed Major Cyme quickly ordered the Vipers to destroy two of them to prevent further transmissions and had the Raptors capture the last one intact. Once the inert satellite was in the hanger of the Minerva the science crew quickly went about dismantling it and deciphering the coded memory banks of the satellite while they conducted more extensive surface scans of the planet with the Minerva's own scanners.

It was a few hours later that Lieutenant Simone Samos looked up from her science station with the preliminary results. "Major, the Cylon's primary observations of this world are centered around a particular landmass designated the Elemental Continent." Simone's eyes widened and she gasped. "The Cylons and the natives of this world both call this planet….Earth."

"WHAT…? Did you just say Earth….like in the legends of the lost Thirteenth Tribe of Kobal?" asked Arlia in disbelief.

"Yes Ma'am. I'm confirming it now." said Simone in a state of shock. Everyone on the bridge was silent as Simone went over the Cylon codes and decrypted them personally. After a few moments she said, "The Cylons believe this to be the Earth of legends and the inhabitants are something evolved beyond human or Cylon….the Cylons believe that the natives are Cylon/Human hybrids….Cylon Command has been quietly observing the natives for a decade….

Captain Pisa quickly said, "A Cylon/Human hybrid?! That's impossible!"

Simone shook her head, "It is possible. It happened between a human male and a female humanoid Cylon at the beginning of the Second Cylon War centuries ago. It's the stuff of legends but it did happen. We've never figured out how it occurred but the child of that union vanished….this is unbelievable….some of the data I'm seeing shows the natives have evolved superhuman attributes…." Simone's eyes became filled with burning purpose. "This data absolutely must be confirmed! Major, if even half of these observations the Cylons have made are true this planet could be the cradle of the next stage of mankind's evolution!"

"Then why haven't the Cylons destroyed it Lieutenant Samos…?" asked an Ensign.

Simone sighed. "….It's because the Cylons believe it is the next step of their own evolution as well…."

"By the gods…." murmured Major Airlia.

The bridge crew could only sit there in dumbfounded agreement….

The Village of Konoha, Residential District

Sharon Agathon was a Number Eight Series humanoid Cylon. She'd been quietly stationed in Konoha as an observer for several years and worked several different civilian jobs in order to blend in with the Ninja society. The brown haired, pretty Asian looking young woman was rather popular with the locals despite her foreign ("southern continent") origins. Most of the Elemental Nation's capitols and ninja villages had a Number Eight (or "Sharon") stationed in them to passively observe the hybrid's way of life because they were generally very empathic and comfortable in hybrid (or human) society in general.

Sharon was out doing her laundry and had three things preoccupying her thoughts. The first was her lover Umino Iruka-kun whom she lived next door to. They had been an 'official' couple for over a year now and were very deeply in love. The Academy teacher's kind and caring nature greatly appealed to her. The idea of being even closer to him as his wife filled her dreams at night….she also felt he would make a wonderful father….

The other things on her mind were important to her as a Cylon though. A Number Three Series named D'Anna Biers was supposed to arrive today at some point and exchange information with her. Sharon hadn't seen another Cylon in nearly a year and a half and was quite happy living in Konoha. She was afraid this D'Anna would have orders for her to leave the Village of Konoha and her Iruka-kun….something she definitely didn't intend to do; orders be damned!

The last thing occupying her thoughts was far more sinister. Her link to the three communication satellites had been cut off abruptly this morning. Sharon could only think of a few reasons; solar radiation, breakdown or outside interference….like Colonials. She honestly believed the solar radiation idea was farfetched as it would have been easily forecast in advance. The satellites all being down for emergency maintenance was also highly unlikely. All three failing simultaneously would be virtually impossible. On the other hand she prayed the Colonials hadn't found this world. Sharon hoped that the D'Anna/Number Three Series coming to see her might have some answers….

Meanwhile….

D'Anna Biers had originally planned to sightsee Konoha in a tourist like fashion….That was before the satellite transmissions were suddenly cut off. Thoughts of dread filled her mind. Her gut reaction was the Colonial humans had found them….yet there had been no attack. She even wondered if the Cylon High Command had somehow been convinced to brazenly invade by force and demand the hybrids help them. That would be a disaster that could turn the hybrids over to the Colonial side….God forbid. She'd seen report after report of the combat abilities the hybrids (her job was to study the social end of the spectrum). At any rate, Observations by the Number Six Series (or "Shellys") revealed that some of the hybrids were literally capable of destroying armies singlehandedly.

The Cylon journalist had seen the place known as "The Valley of the End" in her travels and quickly understood why the ninjas were so feared. The level of destruction caused there was between two ninjas fighting –Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke- to D'Anna it looked like someone unleashed a full broadside from a Basestar or Battlestar into the ground. There was no radioactivity but the devastation was so utter and complete that only two hybrids achieved it was inconceivable to her. It would be centuries before the land healed.

What astounded D'Anna even more was how Uzumaki Naruto had won. It was a narrow victory but he chose the path of peace and reconciliation and convinced his opponent to join him rather than finish Uchiha Sasuke off. To D'Anna's more romantic side it sounded like something out of a fairytale or legend….exactly what one would expect of "The Savior of the World."

Sentimentality aside, D'Anna had to locate her fellow Cylon Sharon Agathon. D'Anna's Global Positioning System was down thanks to the satellites being inactive so she meandered over into the residential district where the Sharon/Number Eight model was supposed to live. 'Finding others manually is a task. I suppose I've gotten spoiled to my GPS for situations like this. If I had any idea this would have happened I would have at least gotten an address.' Taking a slight risk D'Anna released an electronic pulse to 'ping' her fellow Cylon. Of course that risked ninjas homing in on her so she kept it to an absolute minimum.

D'Anna was relieved to feel a return signal and saw a Number Eight emerge from busy the crowd a few minutes later. She waved at her fellow Cylon and received a brief glare from Sharon Agathon that would have frozen hell before Sharon's face morphed into a warm smile. Sharon quickly shook hands with D'Anna so their palms would make contact and they could 'talk' electronically. Sharon said happily in greeting, "D'Anna, I'm so glad to see you! It's been so long!" Her transmitted signals said something else entirely though….

Sharon transmitted angrily, ["What in the hell are you doing you fool?! Konoha's ANBU are searching as we speak! They're all around us!"] D'Anna started to look around before Sharon sharply transmitted, ["Don't look around suspiciously! Just look at me or they'll know it was you that let out that pulse. Hold my hand and follow me."] "Come on D'Anna; you must be tired after your trip. Let's head back to my place." said Sharon in a tone that completely belied her anger.

D'Anna thought to herself 'Damn, this Number Eight is pissed. I hope she calms down. I had no idea the ninjas of Konoha were that sensitive to minor electronic pulses.' She saw as a few ANBU darted about on the rooftops out of the corners of her eyes and felt herself sweating nervously.

Soon enough Sharon welcomed D'Anna into her home. "It's not much but it's nice and comfy." She said with a smile as she motioned D'Anna in. Once they were inside with the door shut Sharon said in a harsh whisper, "Explain your idiocy Number Three! I can't believe you were that stupid. Are you damaged in some way?"

Number Three cringed. If Number Eight was addressing her by number she was deadly serious….and Number Eights had terrible tempers hidden under their normally compassionate personalities. She said quietly, "I'm terribly sorry but the GPS is down and I didn't know how else to find you Number Eight. Please forgive me; I wasn't trying to jeopardize your position."

Number Eight let out an irritated sigh and said, "What's done is done. Let's eat something and you can tell me exactly what's going on….And address me as Sharon Agathon."

D'Anna sighed in relief. It seemed this Sharon wasn't as volatile as she feared. "Please call me D'Anna Biers. I hope we can get along."

Training Ground Sixteen….

Naruto cocked his head to the side when he felt something odd coming from within the village. "What is it Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata. She could always read his moods it seemed.

"I sensed a single energy pulse from the village. It was short but it was definitely there." said Naruto.

Both Hyūga sisters activated their byakugans and scanned around the village. "It looks like the ANBU are a bit active but I don't see anything else Naruto-kun." said Hinata after a couple of minutes.

"I can't see anything either nee-chan." said Hanabi as she turned her byakugan off. "Whatever you sensed must already have hidden itself Naruto nii-san."

Konohamaru said, "I can see why being as sensor is so handy boss but I'd think it would get a little annoying after a while."

Naruto nodded. "It does make you a tad paranoid sometimes. If it happens again I'll try to lock in on it." Shrugging, Naruto said, "Anyway, now that we've finished warming up let's get to some training. I think you're ready to learn the rasengan one handed Konohomaru." He grinned as Konohamaru's eyes lit up like he'd won the lottery.

Earth orbit, Colonial Heavy Cruiser Minerva

Science Officer Simone Samos was showing the other members of the staff a general map of the Elemental Continent gleaned from the data that the Cylons had gathered and their own scans. "This particular landmass is where the vast majority of the Human/Cylon hybrids live. At least from what we can tell they are in a feudal age of their societal development. My belief is we should send down a small group to observe them rather than making direct contact."

"Why not just warn them straight out about the threat of the Cylons already among them?" asked Pisa indignantly.

Simone growled, "All of our captured data points to two good reasons. First, they probably have no concept of beings living anywhere but on their world. Such an act on our part could lead to terror and chaos in their society which we do not want to do."

"I agree with you on this Simone but what's the second reason for the sake of the argument?" asked Major Cyme.

"The second reason is simple." explained Simone. "The Cylons are not a threat to these hybrids. To them it would be like killing their own kind."

"That's ridiculous Simone." scoffed Pisa derisively. "The Cylons are infiltrating their society to destroy it from within just like they tried to with us so long ago. I can't believe you could be so naïve."

"With all due respect I totally disagree Captain Pisa." said Simone in a steely voice. "What logic would there be in the Cylon's actions so far if that were indeed the case? The Cylons could have wiped them out through planetary bombardment or enslaved the hybrids long ago without lifting a finger or bothering to infiltrate. The hybrids are defenseless against orbital attacks and the Cylons have been watching over them carefully for a decade. You're from intelligence division; do the math! The Cylons have no hostile intent here."

Pisa growled. "Then what about the Cylons turning these abominations against us?"

"They aren't abominations; they're human beings just like us damn it!" yelled Simone.

Pisa yelled back, "They aren't just like us, they're a threat!"

Arlia said authoritatively, "Stand down Pisa. The inhabitants of this world are not our enemies."

"But Major I-" started Pisa.

"Be silent Captain Pisa!" ordered Airlia with a hiss that made Pisa recoil. Airlia leveled her Executive Officer with a glare and said, "The Cylons are our enemies. These hybrids are not. I'm not about to make a decision that could damage a new branch of mankind because they are an unknown quantity. I want to know exactly what the Cylons have been up to for the past decade and to observe these hybrids from a distance. Barging in on them and making threats or demands of them will not help our cause at all. They aren't even under a single unified world government. This is going to take time and effort on our part. If a fleet battle were to occur in this system between us and the Cylons the hybrids could be completely destroyed in the crossfire and I'll be damned before I let a planet of innocent people die because they are different from us in a way."

Lightning Country Mountains, Cylon Hidden Base

A group of humanoid Cylons was standing around a table that had a map of the Elemental Nations projected upon it. There was a representative of almost every type there. The atmosphere was grim and foreboding...

A Cavil/One stood up and addressed the others. "We have lost all contact with all six of our standard patrol fighters as of 34 hours ago and our satellites have been destroyed or disabled as of 15 hours ago. I fear this is the work of the Colonial forces as I cannot draw any other logical conclusions."

"I'm in total agreement but the question is what do we do about it?" asked a Shelly/Six. "Our surface sensor equipment would be able to confirm these things but if we start actively scanning it would give away our location to any ships in orbit or nearby. If the satellites are offline then it is safe to conclude they are close." her voice was grim.

"We could simply remain hidden." suggested a Sharon/Eight. "This base is secure from orbital scans and our agents observing the populace can easily blend in with the hybrids until Cylon Command gets involved."

"The problem is Cylon Command won't come out looking for us for nearly two months given our next reports aren't scheduled till then." said a Simon/Four calmly. "We are a very low priority militarily. There is also no reason a Cylon vessel would journey out here as this territory is generally avoided to keep the Colonials from noticing our interests here."

"Our primary task here is to keep the hybrids safe from the Colonials at all costs. We must act!" declared a D'Anna/Three with urgency in her voice.

"What do you propose we do then?" asked Shelly/Six. "We are in a position to contact each of the Elemental Nation's governments to warn them of a possible threat from the Colonial forces but we have no proof to show them and the hybrid children are extremely suspicious of outsiders by nature from our observations. If we reveal that we have been among them for a decade it is sure to cause some xenophobia which we are trying to avoid. Our goal is to join and interbreed with the hybrids, not alienate them.

A Loeben/Two asked, "And what if the Colonials initiate first contact? They could try to turn god's children against us." He sounded both angry and desperate.

"We will have to make subtle countermeasures." said Shelly/Six. "In a worst case scenario we will be forced to broadcast and emergency call to Cylon Command and disperse our forces until help arrives. This base would have to be sacrificed. The hybrids are defenseless against attacks from space and the idea of the Colonials destroying them from orbit strikes terror into me. We cannot afford to provoke a Colonial attack on this precious Earth."

"The Colonials may mistake the hybrids for normal humans as we did originally." said Aaron/Five. "They may simply observe for some time."

"That's far too optimistic. Humans are reckless creatures." said Loeben/Two darkly. "They are an affront to god. I could easily see them landing a fleet here to attempt to co-opt and enslave god's hybrid children -or worse. The situation is dire. We have to take some sort of action."

"We have enough humanoid type Cylons here at the base and hidden among the hybrids to help us stay coordinated." said Sharon/Eight reasonably. "Our best bet would be to inform them of the situation. Communication is vital between our people. We should send out messengers by foot since coded transmissions could be monitored by the Colonials."

D'anna/Three said, "That could take weeks! Time is precious."

"Does anyone see another option that is viable?" asked Shelly/Six. "It will take time but we must have faith. We cannot forsake the children of god with rash actions. We will move slowly and carefully in an effort to stop the Colonial threat. Even if all we manage is to keep the hybrids out of the war then we should be satisfied. We must protect them at all costs so they can flourish in the future."

"May I suggest we at least launch a stealth probe to Cylon Command to inform them of our situation?" asked D'Anna/Three. "We have two at remote locations which would not give away our positions."

"I second the motion." agreed Sharon/Eight. "I'm sure the Colonials already know we are here so launching a remote probe wouldn't endanger our position any more than it already is or be a threat to the hybrids as they are nowhere near any hybrid settlements."

Cavil/One nodded. "It is a calculated risk but it seems to be the best choice. Let us make it so."

"By your command." answered all the Cylons in unison. Now that they'd reached a consensus there was much work to do….

Fire Country, Iruka's Apartment

After a stressfull day of dealing with D'Anna Biers, Sharon was enjoying a quiet dinner with her boyfriend Iruka. They were sitting together on his couch talking about their day while looking lovingly into each other's eyes. Sharon leaned forward and said in a sultry voice, "Iruka-kun, I want to stay over tonight. I need you lover."

"What about your friend visiting?" asked Iruka.

Sharon leaned over further and kissed him hungrily. "She's exhausted from her long trip and needs to sleep. You and I both have tomorrow off. Let's stay up late tonight and sleep in tomorrow. I love you Iruka-kun."

Iruka returned her hungry kiss and said, "I love you too Sharon-chan. I guess it would be rude to keep her up with the noise all night so you'd better stay in my bed tonight, hmmm?"

Sharon's smile lit up the room before the two embraced each other in another smoldering kiss looking forward towards a long night filled with love and passion...

The first tiny wisps of winds had already started to blow and the citizens of the Elemental Nations were blissfully unaware that they were in eye of what could become an interstellar hurricane….

POSTSCRIPT:

*The Ranks in the Colonial forces from Battlestar Galactica are a weird crossbreed between Army & Navy Ranks and are in order as follows:

Admiral

Commander

Colonel

Lieutenant Colonel

Major

Captain

Lieutenant

Lieutenant JG

Ensign

Cadet (presumed)

Frankly, this confuses the hell out of your author. I want to thank Solvdrage and witch20 for pointing this out as I originally had traditional Navy ranks.

Okay, that frames the basic premise of this story. Note that this happens centuries after Battlestar Galactica: 2003 so while we are seeing the mass produced humanoid Cylons none of the characters like Starbuck, Adama, etc. have been alive for eons. I might introduce an OC descendant of some of them though. Since no one else has written much in this category I'm rather curious to see if this draws any attention at all. Blue out. 11/21/15
