Battlestar: a new war
Chapter 1
Somewhere, a colonial Warstar flew by. "Commander greenbean, we had pick up a strange signal at beta quadrant, it is faint, sir" "Alright, sent out two vipers to check it out, they may be hostile..." "Sir the vipers has been launched and heading towards the signal" "good be prepared to warm up weapons in cause of hostile"
"Captain Alex, my scanners shows the signal had come from a capital ship, found no organic life forms sir", ensign Johthan shouted. "Double check ensign...no...not CYLONS?!" "Sir the patrol had returned, the signals is from cylons!!!" "You sure?""Yes sir!" "Alright head back to mars, we must warn the fleet!" Greenbean sat back and stunned by the news as the Assaultstar ran away only to be chase by all the ships there.
Back on earth, Adama walk out of his room. Tigh ruse up to meet up with him. "President Adama! Will you come here for a moment?" "Of course", Adama replied. He walks up to Tigh and sees on the monitor. A nearly destroyed colonial Assaultstar shows up on screen. "What is this Tigh?" asked Adama. 'Sir, commander Greenbean Has return from a long distance patrol at sector beta 2 like this, they were ambush by the Cylons..."
"What? Impossible! We haven't seen the cylons for 20 yahrens!" "Exactly! But war book confirmed that the signal frequency belongs to the cylons"replied Tigh. "How many basestars have commander greenbean spotted?" asked Adama sounding defeated by the news. Tigh clicked onto another image showing over 100 new basestars and thousands of other vessels the human never seen before. "Lords of kobol..."
Two-dozen new sleek looking vipers flew past the planet mars. They flew in a perfect formation and land on the landing bay of a huge majestic building. A few pilots jump of from the vipers and started walking towards each other. "Hey! Dillon! Wonder why the admirals had recalled backs all forces in this sector" asked Lt Helen of gold wing squadron. "No idea. Maybe we met a new race?" answered captain Dillon. More vipers and other never seen before fighter craft land on the base as they group walk away.
In a huge briefing room, admiral Apollo address to all the high military personal and pilots in various squadron. "Comrades", Apollo started, "you all may be wondering why all of you had been assembled here. Well, I make this short and simple...'Apollo paused for a moment, then he continued, "The cylons are back...' .At the word cylons murmurs began booming all over the place. Apollo raised up his hand for everyone attention, then he continued "we had spotted over 40 basestars and thousand other ships unknown to us at the edge of the Egypt system" a commander stand up and ask Apollo back "how can you be sure that they are cylons when you said that they are unknown to us?" "The loss of almost half of my crew and the radio frequency confirmed that!" commander Greenbean raises up and shouted. "Silence! There shall be no fighting here as long you are in military! If any of you does not believe me take a look at this' Apollo voice boomed over the room and press a button on the LCD displayer. A 2-dimension screen appeared and the exact picture Adama had seen and a robotic voice can be heard. "Now that the fleet had been assembled, we shall crush the humans once and for all, this time we shall not fail! By-your-command" the recording ended with a serious look in everyone faces...
"Is it really true father?" asked commander Troy, captain Dillon and Lt Selene."You think that I am that kind of person who lies?" Apollo said sharply. "No father, it's that..."Apollo cut off Selene "yes...yes it is true," Apollo turn and the rest follow him to his quarters. The door opened and they family saw Starbuck, Sheba and Helen sitting inside. "Apollo, why have you call us to gather here?" starbuck asked. "To discuss things with you about how we should plan our defense of course starbuck!"answered Apollo
"Looks like there will be war after all these years of peace" Cain talked. "Yes, Cain it is," Adama replied back in Cain's home. "I have thought that the Cylons will be returning, but at such a huge amount...how I hope I haven't retire so soon,' Cain said. "The same goes to me...but then new generation will always be replacing us isn't it?" Adama replied. "Yes Adama yes, perhaps if there is a spare battlestar, I hope you may give the command to me," Cain talked back. They both laugh at this sentence.
"Father! How things at the council?" Apollo asked when Adama returned home. "Not good, all of them are afraid, it take our entire fleet strength just to counter them,"Adama replied.
"The Cylons haven't sent out a fleet that large in the entire history. That must take up a quarter of their fleet strength; I wonder why the Cylons have sent out a fleet that large after a long time," Apollo said.
"They must be to nothing to do back home that they think of attacking us which such a large force,"Adama replied "which make me wonder, why the Cylons don't even sent scouts here..."
"I think that because they still think a single attack will destroy us, that's why," Troy said.
"Boxey! Sorry, I mean Troy...I didn't expect you to be here today."
"Nothing father, just came to see you and to report that all our fleet has been assembled."
"Good time the Cylons may attack?"
"ETA 0800 the day after..."
"All forces are fully operation, imperious leader."
"Good, set course for the sol system now."
"By your command"
Chapter 2
"WHAT ON KOBOL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ADAMA!" said councilor Met of Taura
"You disagree with my idea councilor?" asked Adama politely.
"Yes! By sending our entire fleet to counter the cylons there is a grave mistake! This is exactly the same mistake we made that lost our home world. If the fleet lost our planetary defense will be lost as well. I say we send every battle fleet to protect our major home worlds."
"You forget councilor, that every major planet has its own planetary defense fleet who's role is to protect the home world while the main fleet attack the enemy, also the by detaching our main fleet into smaller fleet, we will be more outnumbered if they cylons attack us one by one..."
"I trust you on this Adama," said Prime Minister Taylor of the Kobol federation, also representive of earth.
"We will too," said the rest councilors of three-dozen different planets.
"Sir! Report of the cylons leaving the Egypt system, heading towards unknown area about eight light years further...lost contact with probe sir," said an ensign.
"Strange...how could they know we're monitoring them...unless they manage to discover our stealth technology," cried out Admiral Field
"That's mean our major advantage is gone!" replied the ensign.
"Perhaps...by the way ... what's our fleet status?"
"All ships in the 13th fleet is fully combat ready sir."
"Good," replied the admiral. The door opened and in came admiral
Starbuck.
"Hi James! How are you doing?" replied Starbuck happily with a cigar
in his mouth.
"Starbuck! It's a wonder that you can be happy at such a tense
situation."
"Well...finally got another chance to shoot the cylons...to bad not in a viper."
"Well, we can't change go back to the past, do we?"
And the two former pilots went to talk about their old days as a pilot when they were young and dashing twenty-five years ago.
Fleet Admiral Johnson walked into the, preparing the UN planetary defense for combat ready; also thinking that all his effort he put in had paid off. The planetary was the Admiral's idea. Nearly ten years ago, he proposed to create a fleet, for earth own defense even if the entire Kobol federation fleet was destroyed. Ten years later, earth had numerous class of ships built total numbering more than two hundred ships. The other colonies were soon t Admiral Achilles to follows, Caprica being the first. Building their own ship of their own design, it had allow all the major fourteen planets, including the terra alliance which joined about seven years ago to defend their home worlds from a Cylon attack with the size of the holocaust invasion individually.
However, he himself was doubtful about the fleet's capacities. With such a large attack force, the fleet will be unable to fight a task force no larger than ten basestars with numerous escort ships.
"Thomas? Why are you so worried?" said his wife April Summer. April Summer was another former pilot who fight in the first Cylon attack. At that time she was only Thomas fiancée, after give birth to their first son, she left the military to take care of their son.
"Nothing...just thinking how could we survive this attack."
"Have faith Thomas, have faith"
A squadron is practicing on the simulators against another squadron. The pilots of Gold wing were faring well. Being lead by their excellent leaders, they had only lost three pilots so far. The gold wing squadron is mostly stationed on board the Olympus; it's also the elite squadron in the Kobol federation. Its original name was blue squadron of galactica. Later, during the first cylon attack, the squadron was renamed. The leader of that squadron was Captain Dillon son of Apollo, like his father, he too was an excellent pilot. There is also Lt Helen, daughter of the hotshot pilot Starbuck. Most other members were also sons or daughter of the older generation pilots.
"Well sister, we've beat you didn't we team?" said Captain Dillon as he walk out.
"At least we've break the record," replied his sister of Sliver Spar squadron
"Wow, at this rate...even WE will be beaten don't we?"
The gold wing squadron is the only squadron that has never been defeated, or has suffered great lost against other squadron, making them legend. However, this legend is about to be facing the worst foe the have ever met...
Chapter 3
"Gold wing squadron and sliver spar will be investigating where the cylons are and what are they planning, once you have the information, head straight back home, do not engage if possible, is that clear!"
"Yes sir!" was the reply
"Sir...will there be any escort?"
"At this critical time, all we can spare is a Armstrong class destroyer and an pole class gunstar.'
"Understood sir," replied Dillon.
The next day, the small fleet departed to the location of the cylons last whereabouts, commanded by captain greenbean, the Eden powered its engine and go into lightspeed. The other ship, the gunstar also did the same and follow closely behind the Eden
'How long will we have to wait till we arrive?" captain Dillon asked.
"According to the computer, we should arrive about ten days
"Good, the squadron will be training in simulators these ten days, and all fighters to be operational ready incase of a ambush, is that clear?"
The fleet exit lightspeed and slowly cruises to a small- unoccupied planet. Within the next few minutes, gold wing squadron was launched and flew towards the planet followed by 1 combat shuttle.
"Dillon, once you reached there set up a camp there, we can monitor the cylons from here."
"yes sir," Dillon switch to a different frequency "get us go build our new home!"
A week later
' Flight 2 u scout the other side, flight 2 with me" was heard as the vipers take off.
"Yes sir...wait! Picking up something on my radar! Cylons fighters on patrol!"2 replied gold 3 fearfully.
"all right into formations! Be ready to kill some tin can!!!
The vipers immediately into arrow head formation and attack the new class of cylons fighters. At first, they were both equally matched, only damaging the enemy shielding before the tide turn to the cylons.
"Got you!' said gold 3 as he locked on to a cylon and was about to fire before the cylon suddenly did a 360 degree turn and destroyed gold 3 before he could respond.
'What the frak?' and the next moment all the Cylon squadron began to did the same impossible maneuver and super fast reflexes. The entire gold wing squadron was unable to lock on to hardly any target.
"I'm hit!" shouted gold ten
"Argg!!!" yelled gold twelve
"All survivors! Fall back! I repeat fall back to the Eden now!"
Firing up their booster the battered squadron attempted to run only to be catching up.
"What now?" said Helen said as they were about to face total anilation.
"Now, rescue is on the way!' replied sliver spar squadron as they immediately attack the cylons. Luckily for them, the cylons had one serious flaw despite the advanced programming that is unable to concentrate on two enemies at one time. With this weakness, slver spar and gold wing managed to counter the fighters and the rest of the cylon squadron fled back to their ship.
"Captain, I know it's difficult for you after losing so many men...but I still want you to do a job for me," said commander greenbean
"What is it sir?"
"In your recent skirmish, you have managed to crippled a cylon fighter, I want your squadron to recover it and see if we can get any information from it, you will move out at 0500 hours tomorrow."
CHAPTER 4
"The Cylons sure have improved a lot!" said Helen pointing to the recovered cylon fighter
"Yes, computer system, engines, weapons all are state of art...if not, more advanced than any of our fighters." said one of the technicians.
"Found any weakness?"
"No, though we are currently the database.' The database slowly reach 50, 80...90...95...98...99...100%, download completed. "Ok, let's see what's in there'
"Apparently this fighter is called a cylon hunter, one of the most common fighter in the cylon fleet. It have the ability to fold its wing, like our new vipers do. This allows the standard basestar to carry up to 600 over fighter. It has a newer version of laser cannons, and two anti- matter missiles, allowing one to two squadrons to completely destroy a battlecruiser."
"Still no weakness?"
"There is one but it's is at and disadvantage to us..."
"Well, tell it!" said Dillon angrily at the technician for taking such a long time.
"Well Sir, its programming can only it to perform extremely at one enemy, but was unable to respond to a second fighter attacking it. That means we could only kill them easily with two times the amount of fighters, something we do not have."
"That's bad..."
Captain Greenbean sent the report the fleet headquarters at mars and they have began to analyses a way to defeat the cylon. "Good job captain, we will make use of this and hopefully we will be able to find a way to defeat these fighters in about four days time"
"Thank you Sir" and he shut the channel off. He sat back down and sighed, if the situation does not improve, the humans will be defeated again and force to flee.
The ensign was about to change his shift when he noticed something on the scanners. It was a Cylon task force Composing of one basestar and two cylon destroyers. "Get someone here now! Fast!"
"What is it?" said Greenbean as he came in.
"Cylons, they found us"
"Battle stations!!!" and they crew of the destroyer and gunstars ran to their respective roles.
"Gold wing Squadron, you may launch when ready' said the flight Sergeant and the squadron all launch at once, followed by Sliver spar squadron. Sliver spar fly at the front as their squadron have not suffered major lose while Gold wing was to give support.
The cylon fighters were flying in a tight formation attempting to trap both human squadrons while the basestar fire its missile.
"Damage to the rear! Shields still holding."
"Target the basestar and fire missile one and two!" Two missile were send flying through the space and hit the basestar
"Damage report," said the IL class specter and he felt the impact.
"Shields down to eighty percent," replied the centurion. The new centurion looks nothing like the old Cylons. It had a Sleek armor and carries a heavy rifle that normal human cannot carry. Though it had the same old red eyes, it can see things and aim better than any other species known to the Cylon.
"Ready the Mega pulsar cannon"
"By your command"
Apollo woke up from his sleep sensing something bad happen to his children. "Apollo, what is it?" said Sheba beside him
"I fear something had happen to Andrea and Dillon..."
"Don't worry, they have the crack of survival and nothing bad will come to them...I hope"
Chapter 5
"Target lock on,' said the cylon centurion as he lock on to the Eden
"Fire!" replied specter and one power blast fire toward the Eden and damage its engine.
"Sir, the engine is just blown off, we are lucky the blast miss or we all be space dust by now..."
"Can we still move?"
'Barely Sir, but impossible at light speed" and Greenbean look down in deep thought and raise his head up after a few second
"Tell the victorious to stop engaging the destroyers and come here to fire it's pulsar cannon and ready up ours too" said Greenbean finally and the victorious came and charged up its pulsar cannon and fire and followed by the Eden. The combined firepower destroyed the cylon basestar completely and the two destroyer attempt to escape.
"Sir the two destroyers are escaping..."
"Tell the fighters to destroy the command bridge of at least one destroyer, make sure they DO NOT destroy the engines."
"Gold wing, attempt to destroy the command bridge of nearest destroyer and make sure no one fire on the engine, we need it badly," said Dillon as he dodge the laser turrets of the destroyer firing at him. The rest of the squadron followed closely behind and head for their target. Luckily for them there were not much cylon around as many had been destroyed while they were refueling on the basestar when it exploded.
"Target lock on...fire!" cried Helen as she was first to reach the target and two-laser blast destroyed the command bridge of the destroyer and it stared to slow down.
"Sir attack successful!"
"Good bring us near the destroyer to get it's light speed engines so we can go home and order the victorious to engage the remaining destroyer and the hunters, I don't want to be attacked again."
"Yes sir"
"Let's kill those tin cans!" yelled Andrea to all fighter pilots as they give chase. The fighters engage in dogfights this time acting as a team, one pilot of an SF32 whom was being chased quickly fired at a hunter in front of him and another pilot managed to kill the hunter on his tail. Though excellent flying and teamwork cooperation, they manage to destroy all remaining cylons. The gunstar victorious also began to fire it's missile continuously aid by some of it's fighters to destroyed the cylon ship.
"Sir, the victorious and Eden are well behind schedule, should I report them as missing in action?"
"Do so..." Apollo said slowly as he silently hated to do that, his children missing, and starbuck's daughter too, he can never forgive himself and can only hope that somehow the lords of kobol can still protect his children whenever they are...
Chapter 6
"It's been 48 hours and yet they haven't even fixed the cylon engine on this ship, how long will they take?'
"Sorry sir, but due to the cylon engine using an entire different source from tylium, we still are trying to adapt to it and we will be back even faster using this engine."
"How long will you take?
"Hopefully in 24 hours time..."
"Carry on"
"Victorious proceed back to Mars, we will join you after the engine, we don't want to be sitting ducks here"
"Understood, do you need to sent for backup?"
"No, we cannot spare any more ships'
"Understood"
With the victorious gone all that left was the Eden and gold wing squadron to stay there in the huge area of space. Everything was quiet, no sight of any Cylon to be afraid. Only sound was the ship crew and engineers trying to repair the engine so they would be able to go home soon and survive. Captain Greenbean took out a photo of his family and look quietly. His wife, and his two young sons, both ten this yahren, and himself was all happy and not worrying about them being separated. However, he was not too sure, in this coming war, himself and his family may be forever separate and maybe, he can't even see he sons grow up, only thing he knew now is to survive and go back to his home.
A knock can be heard on the door and distract Greenbean of his thought on his family. He sit up and called the person to come in.
"Sir, how are you?"
"Fine Dillon, fine, and don't call me sir when we are not on duty"
"Sorry sir, no uncle Greanbean,"said Dillon, embrassed.
"Never mind, by the way, do you still remember when you just entered service as a cadet, how you flew your viper on a simulator?"
"Yes, I remember, I was so jumpy that I killed two of my squadron pilots and did not fire a single shot at the enemy and... wow you punished me real hard."
"But look at you now, captain of the elite squadron isn't it?'
"Yes sir."He was cut short by beep on Greenbean visiphone and Greenbean sit up to answer it.
"Captain Greenbean here."
"Sir, the engine is now fully function and light speed engine is online too."
"Good, I will come to the bridge in 5 minutes time," and he turn around to speak with Dillon, "well, we finally can go home."
With the engine online, the Eden jump into a speed four time of light, faster than any other previous engine the Kobol federation ever had. The Eden is finally coming home; a home that soon may be devastate by war...
"Sir, the Leosia's colony of Gaul is attacked a Cylon fleet consisting of 30 ships and 3 basestar." A lieutenant of Kobol intelligent reported to Admiral Apollo. "The state Leosia is suggesting that we send a fleet there to aid their defense fleet and they said that the Cylons may be attacking from there."
"Not now, not this time, the Cylons is attacking there as a distraction, Leosia is too far to be a strategic base for an invasion, it will only be taking our forces away to be destroyed, we still have no idea of where actually is attacking," replied Apollo looking down that he was unable to help any of his people there and many will be killed, however he knew that if he does so, even more people may be killed.
Admiral Achilles of the Leosia defense fleet was frustrated at the report he received from fleet Admiral Apollo. He was unable to receive any further help from the kobol fleet and had to fight with whatever ships he had. Though his fleet outnumbers the invasion force, he could not do so with minimum loss to his fleet. He was afraid that a second invasion force may easily destroy Leosia at will, a home he and his people had finally rebuilt from their old home world.
"Sir, the invasion has reached our sight, they have not noticed of our fleet yet."
"Good, now we have an element of surprise then...order the battleship and carrier taskforce to strike now, a cruiser and destroyer squadron will attack when we have draw away their fighters, is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
And that begin the first fleet battle between the Humans and the Cylons. Onboard his flagship Manticore, Admiral Achilles overlooks the battle. A Leo class battleship began to fire her guns at the cylon basestar restlessly as she began to take huge damage herself. Her escorts, a cruiser and three mark 3 tiger class destroyer were also taking damage themselves as they continuously fire at all evading cylons fighters.
The fighter squadrons were also not doing well as the advanced Cylon Hunters were massacring them. Pilots were scared and confused by the Cylons ability to sense them so easily and anticipate their every move. Every moment the Leosia was becoming smaller as one by one they lost ships. Achilles was frustrated by the report. They had lost one battleship and several destroyers and cruisers. With things going worse, elememts of the fleet was disappearing in a blink of an eye. Very soon, the fleet may be easily wiped out and all hope for Leosia would be lost. Just when the fleet began to retreat, they soon found themselves surrounded by the cylon unnoticing with no way of escape.
"Lords of Kobol, help us now..."said Achilles quietly hoping that some miracle would happen.
"Sir, we are receiving a distress signal from the Leosia defense fleet, they are attacked with no way of escaping from them."
"The Cylon are attacking so fast? Never mind, we will proceed to their position now, battlestations!"
Things were now getting from bad to worse. The frigate next to Manticore exploded into debris and the explosion has damaged his flagship too. Every moment the Cylons hunters were destroying guns, armor, and decks of his ship. All the anti-fighter guns were unable to locked on to any target and missed. Only a handful of fighters were destroyed. The squadrons were also unable to help as many of them were trapped themselves.
"Shields down to 40%! Sir, we can't hold on anymore..."
"Ready all hands, maximum thrust to the engines and head towards the Cylon lead basestar.
"Sir? We are going to ram isn't it?"
"Yes, we go, they go too."
The IL series Cylon commander was griming with its mechanic mouth. The new IL series was equipped with the look of a human with their features. However, they still retain the old robotic look and evil soul. Very soon they be able to destroy this new pathetic human fleet. They were no match for the Cylons fleet and soon will be destroyed. If the main fleet sends any more reinforcement, they will be ambushed by a taskforce waiting between the routes from earth to here. This would allow the Cylons to weaken the human's fleet even further.
"Sir, we have successfully surrounded the humans fleet and are destroying them now."
"Good, began destroying their carriers and battleships, the escorts will be hopeless without them."
"By Your Command"
"Sir, we have reach the Leosia's fleet, the fleet is being massacre by the Cylon fleet. They have not found a way to counter the Cylons ships as we do"
"Open a channel via Delta COM to the flagship Manticore now," said Greenbean, knowing that he had to act fast or else it will be the end of the state of Leosia.
"Yes sir."
Admiral Achilles was shock to know that a Kobol federation ship had been hailing him and quickly answered it. "Admiral Achilles here."
"This is Captain Greenbean of the Kobol federation fleet, we have the tactical data on defeating the Cylon Hunters. I be sending the data to all your fighters and ships now." And he turns and nodded to the ensign to send.
"Understood," replied Achilles before he switches a channel to all his fighter groups. "All fighters use the data you just received, proceed and organize yourselves to wiped out the Cylon fighters, team work is extremely important, so I will not tolerate anyone who tries to fight alone unless he wanted to be killed.
With the new information they just got, the fighters flew into different formation and began to counter back the Cylons. Most squadrons, who still managed to outnumber the Cylons by a bit, managed to destroy the cylons and forcing them back. The rest of the fleet had not wasted this advantage given to them. Immediately, the ships began firing up their guns at the main basestars. The Leosia's leopard fighters easily wiped out the smaller cruisers and destroyers.
"Sir, the cylons are weakened."
"Good, let us get them, move the ship closer to one of the basestar, it will not be able to notice us and ready the missiles to fire once we close in." said Greenbean, "and launch gold wing squadron now..."
"Affirmative." And then the destroyer moves closer while launching it's thirty-six fighters firing it smaller laser guns at the corvettes and gunboats often destroying them with one or two shots easily as they were getting uncoordinated. When it had reached the basestar at point blank view, it launches two heavy missiles and crippled the basestar. However the basestar took noticed and fired back with multiple warheads weakened the destroyer shield greatly. It success was only short lived. The next moment, the gold wing squadron began their attack on the basestar and evading the laser turrets easily just as the cylons had done so evading the Leosia fleet moments ago. With the hunters refueling there was no more fight escorts and in seconds all main missile bays and large laser/pulsar gun was destroyed. With no more threat, several missile warheads flew towards the Cylon basestar and destroyed it with its crew.
While the Eden was enjoying its victory over a much larger foe, the Manticore and its fleet was also doing just as well as the Kobol ship. With the tactical advantage they just gained, another basestar with twenty over escorts was easily overcome and wiped out. Only basestar left was the commander flagship.
The Cylon commander was worried and frightened of being destroyed or captured. Fear? Cylon don't have fear, it's not built in them. Fear is only in the weak living creatures like humans...but why is he experiencing this, it's not in his programming...it must been an error or anything the commander thought. Still he managed to wake up and order a retreat with a handful of vessels. He was going to be punished badly by the imperious, not only he failed to draw out the colonial fleet, he lost to a much weaker fleet of ships, he was in deep trouble and he really was experiencing real fear...
"I would like to thank you captain, for you had saved our lives and ships, how can we repay you?" said Admiral Achilles thankful that he had held off the Cylon invasion force.
"Not need to thank me, it's just my duty to protect a state of the Kobol federation and destroy the Cylons, but I do hope you can help me establish a contact with Admiral Apollo, we had lose contact while we was fighting the Cylons when we are on a spying mission."
"Don't worry, it will be done but I hope you would head back to our port for reparation of your ship during the battle with the Cylon fleet."
"Thank you, it would proceed there to see you and your government in person."
The Eden was docked in the port of Leosia to repair while Captain Greenbean and Dillon was speaking to Apollo. "It's nice to see you alright Greenbean and the Leosia fleet intact. It thought we really had lost Eden and Leosia to the Cylons. But now, what did you say about some information when we received the Victorious back.
"Thank you sir, we are fine, should we proceed back the Mars?"
"Not now, currently the Cylon fleet had began to blockage of earth and mars, and help or supplies would not be able to come. It is best that will sent a note to all ships to attack only the actual attack had began and with the Cylons attacking all weak targets, we need the planetary defense fleet to make sure any planet did not fall.'
"Yes sir." And Greenbean switches off the channel and rose up to talk with Dillon, "Looks like we are stuck here with nothing to do but to wait..."
"But sir, we could help them destroy the blockage now..."
"No Dillon, we cannot, as you had heard your father saying, if we attack now, it would be venerable for every planet on the outer sector to any Cylon attack, only when we knew exactly where the main Cylon fleet is attacking, then we can make use of this time to send help, so we have to wait for that time...now let's us go and meet the state government of Leosia, we don't want to keep them waiting, don't we?" and he rose up and walk toward the door with Dillon following behind him, knowing they will be praised for their action again.
"What, the fleet at Leosia had defeated you so easily?" roared the imperious leader angrily at the loss of so many important element of the invasion fleet. "Take this rubbish to be recycled, Centurions!" And then two centurions dragged the IL Cylon commander away with him yelling for mercy. However, the loss is a mere fleabite to the Cylons and soon they were really going to have their revenge...
Chapter 1
Somewhere, a colonial Warstar flew by. "Commander greenbean, we had pick up a strange signal at beta quadrant, it is faint, sir" "Alright, sent out two vipers to check it out, they may be hostile..." "Sir the vipers has been launched and heading towards the signal" "good be prepared to warm up weapons in cause of hostile"
"Captain Alex, my scanners shows the signal had come from a capital ship, found no organic life forms sir", ensign Johthan shouted. "Double check ensign...no...not CYLONS?!" "Sir the patrol had returned, the signals is from cylons!!!" "You sure?""Yes sir!" "Alright head back to mars, we must warn the fleet!" Greenbean sat back and stunned by the news as the Assaultstar ran away only to be chase by all the ships there.
Back on earth, Adama walk out of his room. Tigh ruse up to meet up with him. "President Adama! Will you come here for a moment?" "Of course", Adama replied. He walks up to Tigh and sees on the monitor. A nearly destroyed colonial Assaultstar shows up on screen. "What is this Tigh?" asked Adama. 'Sir, commander Greenbean Has return from a long distance patrol at sector beta 2 like this, they were ambush by the Cylons..."
"What? Impossible! We haven't seen the cylons for 20 yahrens!" "Exactly! But war book confirmed that the signal frequency belongs to the cylons"replied Tigh. "How many basestars have commander greenbean spotted?" asked Adama sounding defeated by the news. Tigh clicked onto another image showing over 100 new basestars and thousands of other vessels the human never seen before. "Lords of kobol..."
Two-dozen new sleek looking vipers flew past the planet mars. They flew in a perfect formation and land on the landing bay of a huge majestic building. A few pilots jump of from the vipers and started walking towards each other. "Hey! Dillon! Wonder why the admirals had recalled backs all forces in this sector" asked Lt Helen of gold wing squadron. "No idea. Maybe we met a new race?" answered captain Dillon. More vipers and other never seen before fighter craft land on the base as they group walk away.
In a huge briefing room, admiral Apollo address to all the high military personal and pilots in various squadron. "Comrades", Apollo started, "you all may be wondering why all of you had been assembled here. Well, I make this short and simple...'Apollo paused for a moment, then he continued, "The cylons are back...' .At the word cylons murmurs began booming all over the place. Apollo raised up his hand for everyone attention, then he continued "we had spotted over 40 basestars and thousand other ships unknown to us at the edge of the Egypt system" a commander stand up and ask Apollo back "how can you be sure that they are cylons when you said that they are unknown to us?" "The loss of almost half of my crew and the radio frequency confirmed that!" commander Greenbean raises up and shouted. "Silence! There shall be no fighting here as long you are in military! If any of you does not believe me take a look at this' Apollo voice boomed over the room and press a button on the LCD displayer. A 2-dimension screen appeared and the exact picture Adama had seen and a robotic voice can be heard. "Now that the fleet had been assembled, we shall crush the humans once and for all, this time we shall not fail! By-your-command" the recording ended with a serious look in everyone faces...
"Is it really true father?" asked commander Troy, captain Dillon and Lt Selene."You think that I am that kind of person who lies?" Apollo said sharply. "No father, it's that..."Apollo cut off Selene "yes...yes it is true," Apollo turn and the rest follow him to his quarters. The door opened and they family saw Starbuck, Sheba and Helen sitting inside. "Apollo, why have you call us to gather here?" starbuck asked. "To discuss things with you about how we should plan our defense of course starbuck!"answered Apollo
"Looks like there will be war after all these years of peace" Cain talked. "Yes, Cain it is," Adama replied back in Cain's home. "I have thought that the Cylons will be returning, but at such a huge amount...how I hope I haven't retire so soon,' Cain said. "The same goes to me...but then new generation will always be replacing us isn't it?" Adama replied. "Yes Adama yes, perhaps if there is a spare battlestar, I hope you may give the command to me," Cain talked back. They both laugh at this sentence.
"Father! How things at the council?" Apollo asked when Adama returned home. "Not good, all of them are afraid, it take our entire fleet strength just to counter them,"Adama replied.
"The Cylons haven't sent out a fleet that large in the entire history. That must take up a quarter of their fleet strength; I wonder why the Cylons have sent out a fleet that large after a long time," Apollo said.
"They must be to nothing to do back home that they think of attacking us which such a large force,"Adama replied "which make me wonder, why the Cylons don't even sent scouts here..."
"I think that because they still think a single attack will destroy us, that's why," Troy said.
"Boxey! Sorry, I mean Troy...I didn't expect you to be here today."
"Nothing father, just came to see you and to report that all our fleet has been assembled."
"Good time the Cylons may attack?"
"ETA 0800 the day after..."
"All forces are fully operation, imperious leader."
"Good, set course for the sol system now."
"By your command"
Chapter 2
"WHAT ON KOBOL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ADAMA!" said councilor Met of Taura
"You disagree with my idea councilor?" asked Adama politely.
"Yes! By sending our entire fleet to counter the cylons there is a grave mistake! This is exactly the same mistake we made that lost our home world. If the fleet lost our planetary defense will be lost as well. I say we send every battle fleet to protect our major home worlds."
"You forget councilor, that every major planet has its own planetary defense fleet who's role is to protect the home world while the main fleet attack the enemy, also the by detaching our main fleet into smaller fleet, we will be more outnumbered if they cylons attack us one by one..."
"I trust you on this Adama," said Prime Minister Taylor of the Kobol federation, also representive of earth.
"We will too," said the rest councilors of three-dozen different planets.
"Sir! Report of the cylons leaving the Egypt system, heading towards unknown area about eight light years further...lost contact with probe sir," said an ensign.
"Strange...how could they know we're monitoring them...unless they manage to discover our stealth technology," cried out Admiral Field
"That's mean our major advantage is gone!" replied the ensign.
"Perhaps...by the way ... what's our fleet status?"
"All ships in the 13th fleet is fully combat ready sir."
"Good," replied the admiral. The door opened and in came admiral
Starbuck.
"Hi James! How are you doing?" replied Starbuck happily with a cigar
in his mouth.
"Starbuck! It's a wonder that you can be happy at such a tense
situation."
"Well...finally got another chance to shoot the cylons...to bad not in a viper."
"Well, we can't change go back to the past, do we?"
And the two former pilots went to talk about their old days as a pilot when they were young and dashing twenty-five years ago.
Fleet Admiral Johnson walked into the, preparing the UN planetary defense for combat ready; also thinking that all his effort he put in had paid off. The planetary was the Admiral's idea. Nearly ten years ago, he proposed to create a fleet, for earth own defense even if the entire Kobol federation fleet was destroyed. Ten years later, earth had numerous class of ships built total numbering more than two hundred ships. The other colonies were soon t Admiral Achilles to follows, Caprica being the first. Building their own ship of their own design, it had allow all the major fourteen planets, including the terra alliance which joined about seven years ago to defend their home worlds from a Cylon attack with the size of the holocaust invasion individually.
However, he himself was doubtful about the fleet's capacities. With such a large attack force, the fleet will be unable to fight a task force no larger than ten basestars with numerous escort ships.
"Thomas? Why are you so worried?" said his wife April Summer. April Summer was another former pilot who fight in the first Cylon attack. At that time she was only Thomas fiancée, after give birth to their first son, she left the military to take care of their son.
"Nothing...just thinking how could we survive this attack."
"Have faith Thomas, have faith"
A squadron is practicing on the simulators against another squadron. The pilots of Gold wing were faring well. Being lead by their excellent leaders, they had only lost three pilots so far. The gold wing squadron is mostly stationed on board the Olympus; it's also the elite squadron in the Kobol federation. Its original name was blue squadron of galactica. Later, during the first cylon attack, the squadron was renamed. The leader of that squadron was Captain Dillon son of Apollo, like his father, he too was an excellent pilot. There is also Lt Helen, daughter of the hotshot pilot Starbuck. Most other members were also sons or daughter of the older generation pilots.
"Well sister, we've beat you didn't we team?" said Captain Dillon as he walk out.
"At least we've break the record," replied his sister of Sliver Spar squadron
"Wow, at this rate...even WE will be beaten don't we?"
The gold wing squadron is the only squadron that has never been defeated, or has suffered great lost against other squadron, making them legend. However, this legend is about to be facing the worst foe the have ever met...
Chapter 3
"Gold wing squadron and sliver spar will be investigating where the cylons are and what are they planning, once you have the information, head straight back home, do not engage if possible, is that clear!"
"Yes sir!" was the reply
"Sir...will there be any escort?"
"At this critical time, all we can spare is a Armstrong class destroyer and an pole class gunstar.'
"Understood sir," replied Dillon.
The next day, the small fleet departed to the location of the cylons last whereabouts, commanded by captain greenbean, the Eden powered its engine and go into lightspeed. The other ship, the gunstar also did the same and follow closely behind the Eden
'How long will we have to wait till we arrive?" captain Dillon asked.
"According to the computer, we should arrive about ten days
"Good, the squadron will be training in simulators these ten days, and all fighters to be operational ready incase of a ambush, is that clear?"
The fleet exit lightspeed and slowly cruises to a small- unoccupied planet. Within the next few minutes, gold wing squadron was launched and flew towards the planet followed by 1 combat shuttle.
"Dillon, once you reached there set up a camp there, we can monitor the cylons from here."
"yes sir," Dillon switch to a different frequency "get us go build our new home!"
A week later
' Flight 2 u scout the other side, flight 2 with me" was heard as the vipers take off.
"Yes sir...wait! Picking up something on my radar! Cylons fighters on patrol!"2 replied gold 3 fearfully.
"all right into formations! Be ready to kill some tin can!!!
The vipers immediately into arrow head formation and attack the new class of cylons fighters. At first, they were both equally matched, only damaging the enemy shielding before the tide turn to the cylons.
"Got you!' said gold 3 as he locked on to a cylon and was about to fire before the cylon suddenly did a 360 degree turn and destroyed gold 3 before he could respond.
'What the frak?' and the next moment all the Cylon squadron began to did the same impossible maneuver and super fast reflexes. The entire gold wing squadron was unable to lock on to hardly any target.
"I'm hit!" shouted gold ten
"Argg!!!" yelled gold twelve
"All survivors! Fall back! I repeat fall back to the Eden now!"
Firing up their booster the battered squadron attempted to run only to be catching up.
"What now?" said Helen said as they were about to face total anilation.
"Now, rescue is on the way!' replied sliver spar squadron as they immediately attack the cylons. Luckily for them, the cylons had one serious flaw despite the advanced programming that is unable to concentrate on two enemies at one time. With this weakness, slver spar and gold wing managed to counter the fighters and the rest of the cylon squadron fled back to their ship.
"Captain, I know it's difficult for you after losing so many men...but I still want you to do a job for me," said commander greenbean
"What is it sir?"
"In your recent skirmish, you have managed to crippled a cylon fighter, I want your squadron to recover it and see if we can get any information from it, you will move out at 0500 hours tomorrow."
CHAPTER 4
"The Cylons sure have improved a lot!" said Helen pointing to the recovered cylon fighter
"Yes, computer system, engines, weapons all are state of art...if not, more advanced than any of our fighters." said one of the technicians.
"Found any weakness?"
"No, though we are currently the database.' The database slowly reach 50, 80...90...95...98...99...100%, download completed. "Ok, let's see what's in there'
"Apparently this fighter is called a cylon hunter, one of the most common fighter in the cylon fleet. It have the ability to fold its wing, like our new vipers do. This allows the standard basestar to carry up to 600 over fighter. It has a newer version of laser cannons, and two anti- matter missiles, allowing one to two squadrons to completely destroy a battlecruiser."
"Still no weakness?"
"There is one but it's is at and disadvantage to us..."
"Well, tell it!" said Dillon angrily at the technician for taking such a long time.
"Well Sir, its programming can only it to perform extremely at one enemy, but was unable to respond to a second fighter attacking it. That means we could only kill them easily with two times the amount of fighters, something we do not have."
"That's bad..."
Captain Greenbean sent the report the fleet headquarters at mars and they have began to analyses a way to defeat the cylon. "Good job captain, we will make use of this and hopefully we will be able to find a way to defeat these fighters in about four days time"
"Thank you Sir" and he shut the channel off. He sat back down and sighed, if the situation does not improve, the humans will be defeated again and force to flee.
The ensign was about to change his shift when he noticed something on the scanners. It was a Cylon task force Composing of one basestar and two cylon destroyers. "Get someone here now! Fast!"
"What is it?" said Greenbean as he came in.
"Cylons, they found us"
"Battle stations!!!" and they crew of the destroyer and gunstars ran to their respective roles.
"Gold wing Squadron, you may launch when ready' said the flight Sergeant and the squadron all launch at once, followed by Sliver spar squadron. Sliver spar fly at the front as their squadron have not suffered major lose while Gold wing was to give support.
The cylon fighters were flying in a tight formation attempting to trap both human squadrons while the basestar fire its missile.
"Damage to the rear! Shields still holding."
"Target the basestar and fire missile one and two!" Two missile were send flying through the space and hit the basestar
"Damage report," said the IL class specter and he felt the impact.
"Shields down to eighty percent," replied the centurion. The new centurion looks nothing like the old Cylons. It had a Sleek armor and carries a heavy rifle that normal human cannot carry. Though it had the same old red eyes, it can see things and aim better than any other species known to the Cylon.
"Ready the Mega pulsar cannon"
"By your command"
Apollo woke up from his sleep sensing something bad happen to his children. "Apollo, what is it?" said Sheba beside him
"I fear something had happen to Andrea and Dillon..."
"Don't worry, they have the crack of survival and nothing bad will come to them...I hope"
Chapter 5
"Target lock on,' said the cylon centurion as he lock on to the Eden
"Fire!" replied specter and one power blast fire toward the Eden and damage its engine.
"Sir, the engine is just blown off, we are lucky the blast miss or we all be space dust by now..."
"Can we still move?"
'Barely Sir, but impossible at light speed" and Greenbean look down in deep thought and raise his head up after a few second
"Tell the victorious to stop engaging the destroyers and come here to fire it's pulsar cannon and ready up ours too" said Greenbean finally and the victorious came and charged up its pulsar cannon and fire and followed by the Eden. The combined firepower destroyed the cylon basestar completely and the two destroyer attempt to escape.
"Sir the two destroyers are escaping..."
"Tell the fighters to destroy the command bridge of at least one destroyer, make sure they DO NOT destroy the engines."
"Gold wing, attempt to destroy the command bridge of nearest destroyer and make sure no one fire on the engine, we need it badly," said Dillon as he dodge the laser turrets of the destroyer firing at him. The rest of the squadron followed closely behind and head for their target. Luckily for them there were not much cylon around as many had been destroyed while they were refueling on the basestar when it exploded.
"Target lock on...fire!" cried Helen as she was first to reach the target and two-laser blast destroyed the command bridge of the destroyer and it stared to slow down.
"Sir attack successful!"
"Good bring us near the destroyer to get it's light speed engines so we can go home and order the victorious to engage the remaining destroyer and the hunters, I don't want to be attacked again."
"Yes sir"
"Let's kill those tin cans!" yelled Andrea to all fighter pilots as they give chase. The fighters engage in dogfights this time acting as a team, one pilot of an SF32 whom was being chased quickly fired at a hunter in front of him and another pilot managed to kill the hunter on his tail. Though excellent flying and teamwork cooperation, they manage to destroy all remaining cylons. The gunstar victorious also began to fire it's missile continuously aid by some of it's fighters to destroyed the cylon ship.
"Sir, the victorious and Eden are well behind schedule, should I report them as missing in action?"
"Do so..." Apollo said slowly as he silently hated to do that, his children missing, and starbuck's daughter too, he can never forgive himself and can only hope that somehow the lords of kobol can still protect his children whenever they are...
Chapter 6
"It's been 48 hours and yet they haven't even fixed the cylon engine on this ship, how long will they take?'
"Sorry sir, but due to the cylon engine using an entire different source from tylium, we still are trying to adapt to it and we will be back even faster using this engine."
"How long will you take?
"Hopefully in 24 hours time..."
"Carry on"
"Victorious proceed back to Mars, we will join you after the engine, we don't want to be sitting ducks here"
"Understood, do you need to sent for backup?"
"No, we cannot spare any more ships'
"Understood"
With the victorious gone all that left was the Eden and gold wing squadron to stay there in the huge area of space. Everything was quiet, no sight of any Cylon to be afraid. Only sound was the ship crew and engineers trying to repair the engine so they would be able to go home soon and survive. Captain Greenbean took out a photo of his family and look quietly. His wife, and his two young sons, both ten this yahren, and himself was all happy and not worrying about them being separated. However, he was not too sure, in this coming war, himself and his family may be forever separate and maybe, he can't even see he sons grow up, only thing he knew now is to survive and go back to his home.
A knock can be heard on the door and distract Greenbean of his thought on his family. He sit up and called the person to come in.
"Sir, how are you?"
"Fine Dillon, fine, and don't call me sir when we are not on duty"
"Sorry sir, no uncle Greanbean,"said Dillon, embrassed.
"Never mind, by the way, do you still remember when you just entered service as a cadet, how you flew your viper on a simulator?"
"Yes, I remember, I was so jumpy that I killed two of my squadron pilots and did not fire a single shot at the enemy and... wow you punished me real hard."
"But look at you now, captain of the elite squadron isn't it?'
"Yes sir."He was cut short by beep on Greenbean visiphone and Greenbean sit up to answer it.
"Captain Greenbean here."
"Sir, the engine is now fully function and light speed engine is online too."
"Good, I will come to the bridge in 5 minutes time," and he turn around to speak with Dillon, "well, we finally can go home."
With the engine online, the Eden jump into a speed four time of light, faster than any other previous engine the Kobol federation ever had. The Eden is finally coming home; a home that soon may be devastate by war...
"Sir, the Leosia's colony of Gaul is attacked a Cylon fleet consisting of 30 ships and 3 basestar." A lieutenant of Kobol intelligent reported to Admiral Apollo. "The state Leosia is suggesting that we send a fleet there to aid their defense fleet and they said that the Cylons may be attacking from there."
"Not now, not this time, the Cylons is attacking there as a distraction, Leosia is too far to be a strategic base for an invasion, it will only be taking our forces away to be destroyed, we still have no idea of where actually is attacking," replied Apollo looking down that he was unable to help any of his people there and many will be killed, however he knew that if he does so, even more people may be killed.
Admiral Achilles of the Leosia defense fleet was frustrated at the report he received from fleet Admiral Apollo. He was unable to receive any further help from the kobol fleet and had to fight with whatever ships he had. Though his fleet outnumbers the invasion force, he could not do so with minimum loss to his fleet. He was afraid that a second invasion force may easily destroy Leosia at will, a home he and his people had finally rebuilt from their old home world.
"Sir, the invasion has reached our sight, they have not noticed of our fleet yet."
"Good, now we have an element of surprise then...order the battleship and carrier taskforce to strike now, a cruiser and destroyer squadron will attack when we have draw away their fighters, is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
And that begin the first fleet battle between the Humans and the Cylons. Onboard his flagship Manticore, Admiral Achilles overlooks the battle. A Leo class battleship began to fire her guns at the cylon basestar restlessly as she began to take huge damage herself. Her escorts, a cruiser and three mark 3 tiger class destroyer were also taking damage themselves as they continuously fire at all evading cylons fighters.
The fighter squadrons were also not doing well as the advanced Cylon Hunters were massacring them. Pilots were scared and confused by the Cylons ability to sense them so easily and anticipate their every move. Every moment the Leosia was becoming smaller as one by one they lost ships. Achilles was frustrated by the report. They had lost one battleship and several destroyers and cruisers. With things going worse, elememts of the fleet was disappearing in a blink of an eye. Very soon, the fleet may be easily wiped out and all hope for Leosia would be lost. Just when the fleet began to retreat, they soon found themselves surrounded by the cylon unnoticing with no way of escape.
"Lords of Kobol, help us now..."said Achilles quietly hoping that some miracle would happen.
"Sir, we are receiving a distress signal from the Leosia defense fleet, they are attacked with no way of escaping from them."
"The Cylon are attacking so fast? Never mind, we will proceed to their position now, battlestations!"
Things were now getting from bad to worse. The frigate next to Manticore exploded into debris and the explosion has damaged his flagship too. Every moment the Cylons hunters were destroying guns, armor, and decks of his ship. All the anti-fighter guns were unable to locked on to any target and missed. Only a handful of fighters were destroyed. The squadrons were also unable to help as many of them were trapped themselves.
"Shields down to 40%! Sir, we can't hold on anymore..."
"Ready all hands, maximum thrust to the engines and head towards the Cylon lead basestar.
"Sir? We are going to ram isn't it?"
"Yes, we go, they go too."
The IL series Cylon commander was griming with its mechanic mouth. The new IL series was equipped with the look of a human with their features. However, they still retain the old robotic look and evil soul. Very soon they be able to destroy this new pathetic human fleet. They were no match for the Cylons fleet and soon will be destroyed. If the main fleet sends any more reinforcement, they will be ambushed by a taskforce waiting between the routes from earth to here. This would allow the Cylons to weaken the human's fleet even further.
"Sir, we have successfully surrounded the humans fleet and are destroying them now."
"Good, began destroying their carriers and battleships, the escorts will be hopeless without them."
"By Your Command"
"Sir, we have reach the Leosia's fleet, the fleet is being massacre by the Cylon fleet. They have not found a way to counter the Cylons ships as we do"
"Open a channel via Delta COM to the flagship Manticore now," said Greenbean, knowing that he had to act fast or else it will be the end of the state of Leosia.
"Yes sir."
Admiral Achilles was shock to know that a Kobol federation ship had been hailing him and quickly answered it. "Admiral Achilles here."
"This is Captain Greenbean of the Kobol federation fleet, we have the tactical data on defeating the Cylon Hunters. I be sending the data to all your fighters and ships now." And he turns and nodded to the ensign to send.
"Understood," replied Achilles before he switches a channel to all his fighter groups. "All fighters use the data you just received, proceed and organize yourselves to wiped out the Cylon fighters, team work is extremely important, so I will not tolerate anyone who tries to fight alone unless he wanted to be killed.
With the new information they just got, the fighters flew into different formation and began to counter back the Cylons. Most squadrons, who still managed to outnumber the Cylons by a bit, managed to destroy the cylons and forcing them back. The rest of the fleet had not wasted this advantage given to them. Immediately, the ships began firing up their guns at the main basestars. The Leosia's leopard fighters easily wiped out the smaller cruisers and destroyers.
"Sir, the cylons are weakened."
"Good, let us get them, move the ship closer to one of the basestar, it will not be able to notice us and ready the missiles to fire once we close in." said Greenbean, "and launch gold wing squadron now..."
"Affirmative." And then the destroyer moves closer while launching it's thirty-six fighters firing it smaller laser guns at the corvettes and gunboats often destroying them with one or two shots easily as they were getting uncoordinated. When it had reached the basestar at point blank view, it launches two heavy missiles and crippled the basestar. However the basestar took noticed and fired back with multiple warheads weakened the destroyer shield greatly. It success was only short lived. The next moment, the gold wing squadron began their attack on the basestar and evading the laser turrets easily just as the cylons had done so evading the Leosia fleet moments ago. With the hunters refueling there was no more fight escorts and in seconds all main missile bays and large laser/pulsar gun was destroyed. With no more threat, several missile warheads flew towards the Cylon basestar and destroyed it with its crew.
While the Eden was enjoying its victory over a much larger foe, the Manticore and its fleet was also doing just as well as the Kobol ship. With the tactical advantage they just gained, another basestar with twenty over escorts was easily overcome and wiped out. Only basestar left was the commander flagship.
The Cylon commander was worried and frightened of being destroyed or captured. Fear? Cylon don't have fear, it's not built in them. Fear is only in the weak living creatures like humans...but why is he experiencing this, it's not in his programming...it must been an error or anything the commander thought. Still he managed to wake up and order a retreat with a handful of vessels. He was going to be punished badly by the imperious, not only he failed to draw out the colonial fleet, he lost to a much weaker fleet of ships, he was in deep trouble and he really was experiencing real fear...
"I would like to thank you captain, for you had saved our lives and ships, how can we repay you?" said Admiral Achilles thankful that he had held off the Cylon invasion force.
"Not need to thank me, it's just my duty to protect a state of the Kobol federation and destroy the Cylons, but I do hope you can help me establish a contact with Admiral Apollo, we had lose contact while we was fighting the Cylons when we are on a spying mission."
"Don't worry, it will be done but I hope you would head back to our port for reparation of your ship during the battle with the Cylon fleet."
"Thank you, it would proceed there to see you and your government in person."
The Eden was docked in the port of Leosia to repair while Captain Greenbean and Dillon was speaking to Apollo. "It's nice to see you alright Greenbean and the Leosia fleet intact. It thought we really had lost Eden and Leosia to the Cylons. But now, what did you say about some information when we received the Victorious back.
"Thank you sir, we are fine, should we proceed back the Mars?"
"Not now, currently the Cylon fleet had began to blockage of earth and mars, and help or supplies would not be able to come. It is best that will sent a note to all ships to attack only the actual attack had began and with the Cylons attacking all weak targets, we need the planetary defense fleet to make sure any planet did not fall.'
"Yes sir." And Greenbean switches off the channel and rose up to talk with Dillon, "Looks like we are stuck here with nothing to do but to wait..."
"But sir, we could help them destroy the blockage now..."
"No Dillon, we cannot, as you had heard your father saying, if we attack now, it would be venerable for every planet on the outer sector to any Cylon attack, only when we knew exactly where the main Cylon fleet is attacking, then we can make use of this time to send help, so we have to wait for that time...now let's us go and meet the state government of Leosia, we don't want to keep them waiting, don't we?" and he rose up and walk toward the door with Dillon following behind him, knowing they will be praised for their action again.
"What, the fleet at Leosia had defeated you so easily?" roared the imperious leader angrily at the loss of so many important element of the invasion fleet. "Take this rubbish to be recycled, Centurions!" And then two centurions dragged the IL Cylon commander away with him yelling for mercy. However, the loss is a mere fleabite to the Cylons and soon they were really going to have their revenge...
