Chapter 14


"Data to Picard."
"Picard here, Data what is it?" asked Picard sleepily.
"The Voyager is less than forty-five minutes away." announced Data.
"Very well. Get Commander Riker to the bridge. I'll be there shortly." said Picard "Make sure Counselor Troi is with him. Picard out."
"Data to Commander Riker and Counselor Troi."
Deanna, rolls over and shakes Will to wake him up.
"Troi here."
"Counselor Troi, is Commander Riker there?" asked Data.
"Yes, he's here" said Troi shaking Riker.
"Riker here..." said Riker in a grumble.
"Commander, Counselor you are needed on the bridge." announced Data.
"Data, we will be there in a few minutes. Troi out."
While Deanna tried to wake Will up, Captain Picard walked onto the bridge, noticing that Geordi La Forge and Commander Data were the only two on the bridge.
"Where are Commander Riker and Counselor Troi?" asked Picard
"They are on the way..." started Data as Riker and Troi walk though the turbolift doors.
"Now then, how long until the Voyager arrives?" asked Picard.
"The Voyager will arrive in ten minutes sir." said Data.
"Very good." said Picard as he sat in the captain's chair.
While the Enterprise waited for Voyager the Borg were getting closer to their goal. The Federation fleet. over two trillion Borg cubes, having been built over ten years, were almost to their goal. Too close for the Enterprise and Voyager.
"Captain, the Voyager is off our port bow." announced Data as the Voyager came out of warp off the Enterprise's port bow.
"Captain, they are hailing us." said Data, turning to face Picard.
"On screen Data." said Picard turning to the view screen.
"This is the Voyager. What's new with the Borg Captain?" asked Janeway.
"They are still on their way to the fleet of ships." answered Picard. "We don't know where the fleet is. They are still out of sensor range."
"OK, are you ready for a confrontation with the Borg?" asked Janeway.
"When ever you are Captain." answered Picard putting on his poker face.
"OK. Tom, set a course." ordered Janeway.
"Data, set a course after the Voyager, and engage." ordered Picard.
As the Voyager and Enterprise headed toward the Borg fleet at maximum warp, the Borg were only twelve hours away from the Federation fleet, and themselves.

"Captain, the Borg are coming out of warp, the fleet is up ahead." announced Data turning around, facing the captain and commander.
"Voyager is dropping out of warp as well sir." said Will as he looked at his panel near his chair.
"Mr. Data, bring us out of warp, deploy the armor and bring the interphasic torpedoes online." ordered Picard getting out of his chair.
"Mr. Kim, what are the Borg doing now?" asked Janeway
"They seam to be interested in the other Borg cubes on the other side." announced Harry. "They are ignoring the fleet, watching the battle."
"What battle Harry?" asked Chakotay.
"The fleet is battling against another swarm of Borg cubes." replied Harry.
"I get it." Tom burst out loud.
"Get what Tom?" asked Janeway with curiosity.
"Ten years ago, after Admiral Janeway went and was caught by the Borg, the uni-complex was destroyed by the pathogen." stated Tom.
"And?" remarked Chakotay.
"And that means that the Borg are in factions now." finished Tuvok standing at his tactical station.
"And that means the Borg are after one another." remarked Seven, standing at her post right behind Captain Janeway.
"So, there are different factions. That means that this swarm of ships wants to destroy the other Borg cubes." said Janeway getting an idea.
"Captain, if we help one of the Borg factions, we can save the fleet from further destruction and gain some new help." remarked Seven.
"Tom, is the armor deployed?" asked Janeway.
"Yes ma'am." answered Tom.
"The interphasic torpedoes are standing by Captain." announced Tuvok.
"Harry, hail the Enterprise." ordered Janeway.
"Channel open Captain." said Harry.
"Captain Picard, we have discovered that the Borg near us want the Borg battling the fleet. We are going in to the current battle and help these Borg." said Janeway looking into the main view screen.
"We shall join you." said Picard sitting into the Captain's chair.
"Tom take us in." ordered Janeway, sitting straight up in her chair.
As the Voyager and Enterprise slipped into the battle field, the Borg they had been following suddenly moved into the battle as well.
"Tuvok, fire a spread of torpedoes at the enemy Borg Cubes, give the Defiant some cover fire." ordered Janeway.
"Firing." announced Tuvok as they watched twelve torpedoes hit twelve Borg Cubes, instantly turning into fire balls.
"Captain, the Sovereign is ten minutes away from a warp core breach." announced Data over the sound of Borg cubes flying past them at high speeds.
"Get ready to drop enough armor to beam all the survivors aboard." ordered Picard.
"Ready sir." said Data.
"Drop the armor." ordered Picard.
"Captain, we have about two thirds of the crew. The rest are going to escape pods or shuttle craft." said Riker walking over to the Ops station.
"Data, put the armor back up, and fire at the enemy Borg." shouted Picard.
As one enemy cube watched the whole battle, watching it's cubes be destroyed it decided retreat was the only way out.
"Captain, the Borg are moving away." said Harry in a calm voice.
"Tuvok, keep firing at them until they are two hundred km. from the fleet." ordered Janeway. "Then open a channel to the other Borg."
"Channel open ma'am" said Harry.
"Borg cubes, this is Captain Janeway of the Starship Voyager, we would like to understand your interest in the other fleet of Borg ships." announced Janeway.
"We are the Borg. We wish nothing but to be left alone. Those other Borg attacked us twelve days ago. We wished revenge." can millions and millions of voices at once.
"Very well, if you require Federation assistance, please ask, Janeway out." Janeway looked at Harry for a minute. "Inform Captain Picard that we will be leading the fleet back to the Alpha Quadrant."
"Yes ma'am." said Harry smiling.
"I'll be in my ready room." said the Captain with a smile.
After a very long and slow trip back to the Alpha Quadrant, the Voyager was ordered to be commanded by Captain Janeway and the Voyager crew. Voyager was no longer a museum, it was home to the entire crew. The fleet had lost thirty-four ships in the battle against the Borg. Over five thousand, one hundred officers lost their lives. Two days after the return of all the ships and docking them, there was a ceremony for the officers that lost their lives. Janeway was given orders to take out any invading Borg cubes that crossed into Federation space without asking permission. And to this day there are still the two Borg factions fighting in the Delta Quadrant, and it may never end.
