The USS Challenger's bridge was rocking and shaking as Phaser fire and incoming Antiproton beams collided with the ships shields.

"Lieutenant, fire Quantum torpedoes! Full spread!" Screamed Admiral Aires over the sound of fire and debris crashing down.

"Aye-Aye sir!" The Lieutenant shouted back as she quickly input the command. Twelve Quantum torpedoes quickly shot out of the Challenger's forward torpedo launchers colliding into the shields of a Voth Dreadnought, however they did little damage to the actual Voth ship. The Challenger being an Odyssey class was quite big, surpassing the Sovereign and Galaxy class in size and firepower however on its own a Voth Dreadnought can be a tough foe-especially when it has an escort complement of Voth frigates.

The USS Challenger destroyed all the Voth Frigates however the combined firepower of the frigates and the dreadnought disabled the Challenger's shields.

"How much longer until our reinforcements get here?!" The Admiral asked shouting.

An ensign responded "Fifteen more minutes-" The ensign was cut off by a Lieutenant Commander,

"Sir, Borg signatures are incoming, they're warping into this system. Twenty kilometers off of our starboard bow!"

As the Borg Cubes closed in they opened a channel to the Challenger.

"They're hailing us!"

"Put it through!" Aires said as he regained his balance from the last volley of Antiproton beams that slammed into the ships hull. A Blonde Female Human wearing a grey outfit appeared with a part of a Borg sensor unit on one eye.

"This is Seven-of-Nine hailing the Federation starship Challenger, the Borg Cooperative has come to aid you." The Bridge crew's expression changed from fearful and desperate to hopeful and energetic.

"Glad to have you with us, we could use all the help we can get." The channel was closed as the two Borg Cooperative Cubes took up positions and began to draw the Voth's fire away. As this happened they also began draining the Voth's shields, the Challenger then swooped in seizing the opportunity, firing a Haergh'pang Radiation Torpedo and twenty Quantum torpedoes at the Voth ship. The Voth exploded into a ball of fire and debris began to spread out across space.

Suddenly five ships, Federation, Romulan, and Klingon came out of Warp.

"We're being hailed by the lead ship sir." Admiral Aires looked at the ensign.

"Put it through."

A Romulan male stood on the bridge of his ship and spoke.

"I see the situation has been dealt with and handled and that we're late."

Aires replied, "Yes it has, by our new Borg Cooperative friends." Suddenly the two Borg Cubes wraped out of the system.

"Well Admiral, we will escort the Challenger back to the Sphere where your ship can undergo repairs."

"Very well," the Admiral said agreeing, "Challenger out."

The fleet of ships came about and powered up their warp drives and warped out heading back to the Dyson Sphere to joint command.
