Future Bound
Chapter 7: First Neitzscheans now Magog
The crews assembled back on the future Andromeda at 17:00 hours. Ft. Dylan told everyone what the Admiral had suggested. The two Harper's then told the crews what was going on with the past Andromeda. When they had been shot through the slipstream, the Neitzschean pulstar had internally damaged the slipstream drive and nearly totalled the engines. It was going to take a while to fix.
"What's the time difference between out worlds?" asked Dylan
"Well fifteen days here would be fifteen minutes in your time," said Ingrid
"That's right," said Trance.
"How do you know?" asked Harper.
"It's complicated."
"How so?"
"Very."
"OK nevermind," said Harper, "so what are we going to do? Tarn Vedra's nice and all but I had an old fashioned looting planned."
"We're coming back to pick up the ship anyway so let's go," whined Will.
"So we head out?" asked Dylan.
"Yes," answered the crew in agreement.
"Alright then," said Ft. Dylan, "Will, take us out."
"I get to drive, I get to drive," Will sang happily.
"So now where are we going?" asked Harper.
"Back to where we were before we picked you up and continuing on out vacation cruise." Said Ft. Dylan.
"Sorry about that," said Beka.
"No harm done," said Ft. Beka
"Slipstreaming," said Will, "in three, two, one."
**
The Outer Post, where the Andromeda had come out of the slipstream into the future. The entire crew was on the Obs. Deck in those nice cushy chairs once more.
"Hey, Rommie," said Harper, "are you sure you aren't worried about leaving yourself behind?"
"I'm quite alright about it Harper," said Rommie, "and besides Rev Bem stayed behind with his future counterpart so I'm not worried."
"They'll all be fine," said Ft. Dylan, "and we're picking them up when the repairs are finished."
"Yeah new parts and all what a score," said Beka.
"Is she getting a facelift?" asked Will.
"Are you implying something?" asked Ft. Rommie.
"How dare you accuse me of such a thing," said Will with mock hurt, "you know I'd never say anything bad about you."
"And why not?" she asked.
"Because you've been like a second mother to me," said Will, "always letting me crawl into vents, telling Dad you have absolutely no idea where I am when you can see me sneaking off behind him. Which he will now forget what I just said."
"You'd like that wouldn't you?" asked Ft. Dylan.
"Yes I would," said Will in a dream-like tone.
"Well that's all in the past though isn't it?" asked Ft. Dylan
"I was talking about recently actually," said Will with an innocent smile. Dylan shook his head and muttered something that sounded like 'just like your mother.' Everyone was just beginning to finally relax when they got a nasty shock by the battle sirens that sounded around the entire ship.
"What the fuck?!" cursed Ft. Harper.
"Andromeda what's going on?" said Dylan standing up.
The ship's virtual self appeared in front of them.
"Dylan we're under attack," said Andromeda, Magog ships are attaching themselves to the hull."
"Not again," moaned Harper.
"Shouldn't you have picked that up before now?" asked Beka.
Everyone was on his or her feet.
"My censors were blinded," said Andromeda, "the Magog have acquired new technology in the last 20 years you know."
"First Neitzscheans, now Magogs things just keep getting better and better don't they?" said Harper sarcastically.
"We don't have much time until they get through," said Rommie.
"Let's go," said Ft. Dylan heading towards the door. Both crews followed him out and armed themselves. They didn't get six feet from the Obs. Deck door before the lights went out and back-up power came on.
"I told it would get better," said Harper.
"Sarcasm isn't going to keep you alive," said Ft. Beka
"Trance what are the odds in our favour?" asked Ft. Harper
"You don't want to know."
"That bad, huh?"
"There's always a possible perfect future for every situation," said Ingrid, "but we could all die horrible deaths too."
"You are the perfect mix of hope and despair from your parents," said Ft. Tyr.
"What are the odds of a happy future?" asked Harper
"Would you all just shut up about theoretical odds and concentrate on survival?" barked Tyr.
Then they heard rumbling. Then in front of them they saw coming the first wave of Magog.
"Dammit!" yelled Beka as everyone was scattered in different directions.
"Meet at the Bridge!" yelled Dylan before his voice was drowned out by the screams of Magog.
The crew was split into five groups...
**
//Beka, Beka, Rommie//
"Where the hell did everyone go?" asked Ft. Beka.
"We were separated," said Ft. Rommie
"Oh that's great," said Beka, "just the three of us?"
"Seems that way," said Ft. Beka
"Dylan told us to get to the bridge," said Ft. Rommie, "so that's where we're going."
"Which way's the shortest?" asked Beka.
"West," said Ft. Rommie.
"What about Will?...and the others?" asked Ft. Beka.
"I can't find them my sensors are off-line," said Ft. Rommie, "Beka we have to go."
**
//Will, Terra, Ingrid//
"Where are we?"
"Don't you know?"
"Who's all here?"
"Ing?"
"Will?"
"Terra are you here too?" asked Will.
"Yes and it's the three of us," said Terra.
"We're on our own?" asked Ingrid.
"Yeah, you're not armed are you?" asked Will.
"No,"
"How much ammunition do you have?" asked Terra.
"A full cartridge and an extra force lance," said Will.
"Where are we going?" asked Ingrid
"To the bridge," said Terra.
"So which way?" asked Will.
"You don't know?" snapped Terra.
"Hey well, the lights are usually on," said Will, "or if they're not I'm with someone who knows the way."
"How long have you lived on this ship?" asked Terra angrily.
"It's a big ship," snapped Will, "so excuse me if I can't remember every nook and cranny."
"Stop fighting! Let's just go straight," said Ingrid.
"And what if that's the wrong way?" asked Terra.
"Then we get eaten alive by Magogs and that's that." said Will, "let's go."
**
//Dylan, Dylan, Rommie//
"I hope they'll be ok," said Dylan
"Yeah me too," said Ft. Dylan, "we've had enough trouble like this to last a lifetime."
"We go left here," said Rommie.
"They had better have heard me back there," said Ft. Dylan
"I hope so," said Rommie.
"What was that?" asked Dylan turning around and looking down the corridor.
"Keep moving," said Ft. Dylan, "and pray it wasn't the Magog."
**
//Trance, Trance, Harper, Harper//
"Why me?" asked Harper as he ran with the other three, "why do they always decide to come after me?"
The four of them ran down the hall trying to avoid becoming dinner or a host.
"Now I'm going to die," said Harper shooting at the Magog over his shoulder.
"You see a happy future right Trance?" asked Ft. Harper
".........."
"TRANCE!"
**
//Tyr, Tyr//
"Why is there always a deadly calm when you're about to be attacked?" asked Tyr.
"You think they'd try something different," said Ft. Tyr, "But then again maybe not."
They both opened fire on the steady stream of Magog that came running towards them.
**
//Beka, Beka, Rommie//
"Are we sure this is the right way?" asked Beka
"I'm pretty sure I know where we are," said Ft. Rommie.
"Oh right," said Beka, "this IS you."
"We have to detour," said Ft. Rommie.
"Why?" asked Ft. Beka.
"Magog, right in front of us," answered Ft. Rommie
"I don't hear anything," whispered Beka.
"There waiting for us," said Ft. Beka, "bastards have gotten smarter over the last 20 years."
"That's not a good thing," said Beka.
"No it's not," said Ft. Beka, "and here they come,"
**
//Will, Terra, Ingrid//
"This had better be the right way Hunt," said Terra.
"Would you just relax already?" asked Will.
"We haven't even seen any Magog yet," said Terra.
"And that's a bad thing?" asked Will.
Screaming was heard ahead of them.
"What was that?" asked Ingrid clutching onto Will.
"Magog?" asked Will looking at Terra.
"No," said Terra, "human."
"Oh Hell!" cursed Will as he took off running.
"Will Wait!" screamed Ingrid and went after him.
Terra shrugged and followed them towards the screams.
**
//Dylan, Dylan, Rommie//
"Made it!" shouted Ft. Dylan running into the Bridge.
Dylan and Rommie followed closely behind. The AI managed to get the doors opened and closed amid the angrey wails of Magog outside the door.
"Now what?" asked Dylan.
"Hope the others show up soon in one piece," said Ft. Dylan
"How close are we to a station of some kind?" asked Dylan.
"Along ways away," said Ft. Dylan, "Rommie is there no way you can find out how many systems are working?"
"If there's anything down it's up to Harper," said Rommie, "and I don't have any access to my future self."
**
//Trance, Trance, Harper, Harper//
"Are we good yet?" panted Harper, "I think we lost them."
"You can never tell with Magog," said Ft. Trance.
"What's that sound?" asked Trance.
"Can somebody tell me why that in every show or story there's a creepy sound?" asked Harper, "and the heroes always go to check it out only to regret doing so later?"
"Come on," said Ft. Trance, "let's go."
{"I really hate you Vee," muttered Harper}
As they vetured closer to the sound and turned the corner a very gruesome sight greeted them.
"I'm going to be sick," whispered both Harper's together.
A whole corridor was full of mutilated Magog corpses. Their companions were feasting on the dead and wounded.
"A Magog massacre," said Ft. Harper, "has Tyr been through here?"
"No weapon we have could have done that Harper," said Ft. Trance
The fallen Magog had their chests ripped open and limbs were torn off.
"They did that right?" asked Harper, "got hungry and decided to rip their friends apart?"
"There's something else on this ship isn't there Trance?" asked Ft. Harper.
"Why are you asking me?" asked Ft. Trance nervously.
"You know exactly why I'm asking you," he said.
"I think we should go now," said Trance.
"I could have told you that along time ago," said Harper.
"Actually I think we should run," said Trance.
"Why?"
"That's why," she pointed at the feasting Magogs that were now looking directly at them.
"Ok then, RUN!" shouted Harper as the Magog came after them. The four of them started to run back the way they came, only to soon realixe that the Magog that were chasing them before had finally caught up.
"Go left!"
"No right!"
"Right!"
"Right what?"
"Right left!"
"Which way?"
"Just GO!"
And they did.
"They're gone again," said Trance trying to catch her breath.
"Why do they keep doing that?" asked Harper, "chase us then stop, chase us then stop, it's getting pretty annoying."
Ft. Trance was lookeing around.
"Where's Harper?" she asked panickedly.
"I'm lost?" asked Harper.
"He's not here," said Trance.
"Harper," whispered Ft. Trance.
**
//Beka, Beka, Rommie//
"There's too many!" shouted Beka.
"Just keep trying to hold them off," said Ft. Rommie.
"Easy for you to say," said Ft. Beka.
The three of them were forced to retreat back as the Magogs kept coming.
"I'm out," screamed Beka as her weapon went dead and she was overthrown by an attacking Magog. The other two were being forced back some more and out of range to help. Footsteps were heard and the Magog were then attacked from behind. Half of them were confused by their new opressors. The Magog trying to bite into Ft. Beka rolled over dead from a head wound. The new bombardment didn't stop until all the Magogs were either dead or ran away.
"Mom!"
Rommie and Beka were making their way back to where Ft. Beka was with both Tyr's newly accompanying them.
"Mom?" said Will kneeling down beside Ft. Beka and helping her up, "are you ok?"
"I'm fine Hun," she groaned, her thigh had been gouged pretty bad.
"What did he just call you?" asked Beka.
"Will's my son," said Ft. Beka wincing a bit, "surprise."
"Think about it later," said Ft. Rommie, "we have to move."
They found some cloth to bandage Ft. Beka's wound and Will put her arm around his neck and helped her up.
"We're not that far now," said Ft. Rommie.
**
//Dylan, Dylan, Rommie//
"The banging seems to have stopped," said Dylan.
"Now is that a good thing or a bad thing," asked Ft. Dylan
They opened the door cautiously and there were no Magog to be seen.
"Where'd they go?" asked Dylan.
"The others are probably nearby," said Ft. Dylan.
"Or were nearby," said Rommie
Just then, around the corner came a large portion of the missing crew. Will was helping Ft. Beka down the hall and the others walking around them. Both Tyr's were with them, having met during the last Magog attack.
"Is everyone ok?" asked Ft. Dylan.
"Just peachy," said Ft. Beka sitting down.
"How bad is it?" asked Ft. Dylan
"I'll live," said Ft. Beka.
"It's pretty deep," said Ft. Rommie, "Beka, we have to get you to medical."
"Thank you Nurse Rommie," said Ft. Beka," but I'll be fine for now."
"Mom," Will whined cutely.
"Don't give me that look," said Ft. Beka.
"Woah what?" asked Dylan startled, "Mom? Beka?"
Before anyone could answer loud screams were heard right outside the door.
"Let-us-in-let-us-in-let-us-in!" They heard Trance scream.
Rommie opened up the door and Trance, Ft. Trance, and Harper ran in. The door was closed before the Magog that were chasing them could get in.
"We made it," panted Harper collapsing to the floor, "we made it."
"I'll repeat myself is everybody here?" asked Ft. Dylan.
"Where's Dad?"
Everyone turned to face the speaker.
"Where's Dad?" asked Ingrid more urgently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A/N and disclaimer: The longest chapter so far was completed 2001-10-26. Well is it getting any better? Remember I said I'd tell you what I somewhat originally had planned for this story couple-wise? If you want to know go to: http://hpfans_vee.homestead.com/fanfic.html it's at the bottom of the page and there's the ALTERNATE chapter 4 I first wrote 'Meeting the crew+3' instead of +2.
The next chapter to Future Bound is:
