"If you want to live get in." said the machine man as he stood in front of everyone.
In every Human world and space station, the same set of worlds were being repeated, and while the humans hesitated to do as the robots in front of them said, they had few options.
Entire shipyards and space stations were dragged away by tractor beams and taken somewhere where no one could get to them.
These same events happened over and over again even as the Minbari were attacking and while the humans that hid inside of their bunkers willingly ran into the robots helping hands.
Those that were fighting or had been mortally wounded found themselves being teleported away from what should have been certain death.
The Humans of Earth along with those that guarded it and the colonies closest to it, watched helplessly as gargantuan ships emerged into the surrounding system and created a wall that prevented anything from coming in or out.
Then one by one all of the ships that had rescued the colonies- space stations and human defenders began to enter the system.
Not knowing what to do the Alliance tried to open communication with whoever the fleet belonged and to their surprise, a man that looked completely Human answered.
"Hey I heard you needed some help," he said to them.
No one knew exactly how to react to the man, as they had seen several aliens that resembled Humans in one way or another, but the man that was in front of them looked, completely Human.
"I heard about what was happening and so I came to help, don't worry about how you are going to feed - cloth and house everyone I've already taken care of it."
When those words were said several of the massive ships revealed entire domes filled with all sorts of vegetation, the domes themselves were so large that they housed what could only be called forest inside them.
Some domes were filled with water and had all sorts of aquatic creatures swinging in them while others had farms covering them.
With few options left the alliance allowed the colonist to settle inside of the domes.
Fearing what the Humans could do with the help of this new race and angered that their prey had managed to get away the Minbari headed straight to earth.
Their systems had picked up the radiation that the ships released when they reentered normal space.
As the alarms began to go off the Humans watched as the man that had arrived ordered them to not do anything and let him deal with the situation.
"Attention Minbari, the Humans are under my protection."
"If you continue to attack, I will take something from you for every shot you fire and will take from you even more for the same number of colonies that you have destroyed"
The man grinned, it was a confusing threat, but it was meant to be like that, after all when someone was overconfident and angry then it was easy to manipulate them.
One of the Advantages that the Minbari had was that it was nearly impossible to target them, but who needed to target anything when you could drown the entire area with gunfire?
The Minbari began their attack but found that none of their weapons managed to hit anything, as a massive barrier had appeared between them and the human ships.
Yet none of them dared to stop their attack and so the moment that their ships crossed through the barrier they immediately lost power and were at the mercy of the Humans.
Yet none of the human ships attacked them, it was only for a long moment, yet when it passed all of the Minbari onboard felt as if something horrible had happened.
Slowly all of their ships began to regain power, and everyone onboard began to realize that they were somewhere else entirely.
Just moments ago they had been in the Humans home system and now they were somewhere else drifting in space.
After a few minutes that felt like years, the communications systems had been repaired and all at once everyone on every ship realized what had happened as several of their colonies called for help.
The captains of the ships as well as their crew were so focused on figuring out what happened to the colonies that they failed to notice that they were missing several people.
When they finally reached the colonies they found that all of the women of those worlds had vanished regardless of how young or old they were.
It slowly began to dawn on everyone to see if any one of their ships had vanished and it was then that they found that all of the women onboard were gone.
the sense of dread began to spread along with the sensation of blinding rage, as the thought of the fates that awaited those taken began to fill all of the Minbari's minds.
Yet before they could do anything a single message began to spread throughout their entire system.
"I was kind enough t allow your race to live, attack again and I will take all of the."
A sense of defeat and pain filled everyone that day, as everyone knew that if they attacked then the unknowns would do what they said.
All of the warrior cast wanted to destroy this new race along with the beasts that they had allied themselves with, but if they attacked again then who knew what would happen to those that remained?
And so reluctantly the warriors of the Minbari found themselves forced to lower their weapons and return home in shame.
On Earth, the leaders of Humanity watched as the man was escorted by the robots towards a simple wooden table and chair that had been prepared for him.
The man had said that if the leaders of Humanity wanted to meet with him then they would have to do it while everyone both on and off the planet could hear and see them.
"Before anyone can say anything allow me to say a few things."
'Due to the rules, I can not give you any of my technology, because if I do so the others will force me to go back and take everything I brought with me."
"Second, no I am not Human, I just chose this form as I believed that it would be easier for you considering what all of you have gone through." he said to them before gesturing to everyone that he had finished saying what he needed to say.
'First, thank you for helping us but can you not give us anything?" the president said to him.
"No, it is against the rules."
"However I can't be everywhere so if certain things were to be studied by your people and understood and you manage to replicate them or make something else."
"It can only be because of my incompetence." he said to the president as he smirked.
"Will you help us get revenge?' one of the generals said to the man bluntly, he wanted to lie but even before he could say anything he noticed that the man had his eyes on him.
"No, this war is over. Let it end."
"I am only here until your population returns to what it was before this war happened," he said to the general.
"We need your help, we can't beat the Minbari, when they know you're gone they'll come back and finish what they started!" a man who was standing amongst the crowd yelled.
v"No, they won't."
"I warned them not to attack or I would retaliate and they attacked and so I retaliated."
"I have seen your histories, how our civilizations grew invaded each other, and took the females of the tribes and kingdoms you conquered or destroyed."
A sense of dread and disbelief began to spread among the Human who were watching the meeting.
"Humans behold the females of the Minbari race, all males who have not wed or have lost a mate can claim one or two of them."
"As I was the one to bring them to you, I will not tolerate any of the men or women amongst you hurting them."
"These women are my gift to you as a way of showing that I mean you no harm, please enjoy your new mates."
No one said anything when the man stopped talking, no one except for the president who out of instinct immediately protested against enslaving another sentient race.
The man looked at the president with a confused expression before his eyes began to glow white.
"Strange, you protest against this, and yet even as we speak, I stand before those that came before you and all f them are claiming the spoils of war." e said to the president who looked at the man with wide eyes.
'What do you mean that you are standing before those that came before us?" the president asked the man.
"To you, time works only one way, that is not the case for me."
The man lifts his hand and makes a line out of pure light.
"I'll explain, imagine that you are walking and you find a rock in front of you"
"It's not a big rock so it doesn't hinder you in any way, but you can walk over it- step on it-go around it and turn around and go back where you came from and even jump over it."
"This is time for me, I can move forward and back but not physically, it takes a great deal of effort for me to be here physically." he explained to them.
No one knew what to say, the being in front of them had just causally said that he could time-travel at will and see everything that happened before, so that meant that he could see the future too.
"Now as I was saying, men please enjoy these women and try to relax, I will not be leaving until you people's population returns to what it used to be." he said to everyone before he vanished.
