Star Trek: Reloaded

Chapter 9

The Dominion Timeship sped through space, as the Changeling is at the Helm flying it. Lei walks over.
Lei: "This ship is a lot different than the last Timeship I was on."
Krone: "--Human, you have saved my life. I am indebted to you..."
Lei, shrugs: "Don't worry about it."
He walks over to a console and sifts through data casually.
Lei: "Hey, this thing says your Chronometric Drive is offline. How are we moving through space then?"
Krone: "That is a different drive; the time jumper. When I found this Vessel, it was already like that."
Lei: "So you've never travelled through time before?"
Krone: "No. The original Dominion occupants of this ship were killed from thier time jump to this period."
The Changeling liquefies to another seat, launching out tentacles to tap at other consoles.
Krone: "I was roaming the galaxy, alone, until I found them dead here. It wasn't long until the Romulans ran into me."
Lei: "I was doing a lot of roaming the galaxy myself before. But now I have a purpose... to find Raiden."
He looks to the side.
Lei: "Where we come from, Raiden was responsible for many gang related wars. He's also a murderer..."
The Changeling liquefies around to face Lei. Lei just looks at the liquid.
Krone: "Then I will help you find this Raiden."
Lei: "Huh? Oh, no. I couldn't ask--"
Krone: "Do not worry. Besides, my mate is somewhat of a law and order keeper herself."

The Timeship is suddenly hit by two torpedoes. A Remen Shuttle is responsible, as it follows behind. Krone and Lei see this, and Krone is about to increase speed until the Remen Shuttle fires again, badly damaging the Timeship's Engines.
Lei: "Who are they?"
Krone, tapping at panels frantically: "I do not know."
Lei runs over to nearby consoles looking for weapons control until the front holo-screen clicks on, hovering.
>Kelik: "Your Timeship is mine!"
Lei quickly recognizes him: "You!"
>Kelik: "Surrender your vessel and you will not be harmed!"
Lei figures out part of the weapons control: "No I have a better idea. Why don't you surrender your vessel so you won't be harmed?"
He looks down accessing controls, and accepting activation commands.

The Timeship fires a static pulse at the green Shuttle, badly damaging it.
Kelik: "Ugh!? ...You're the other Human from the 21st Centruy!"
>Lei: "That's right."

Kelik immediately pans his Shuttle away into another direction, retreating, and leaving the Timeship behind. Krone glances his liquid-self over at Lei in question.
Lei: "If we get him, then maybe he can tell us where Raiden is!"
Krone nods.

The Dominion Timeship changes course and speeds off in the direction of the Shuttle.

The Remen Shuttle sees them coming and decides to drop Warp. He knew where he was going, as Kelik flew the Shuttle towards a Planet. He flew the Shuttle through the atmosphere and blue sky, slowing as it came closer to the surface. On the surface was a Klingon Outpost.
Kelik: "Erk--!"
As it landed, he jumped out the Shuttle and ran across the walkway towards a large cut building. He ran inside where many Klingon's were walking around casually.

The Timeship came in from the sky and hovered near the Shuttle. The Changeling desperately tried to figure out the transporter controls as Lei jumped out and ran across the walkway aswell.
Lei, enters: "...Urgh..."
He gasped for air, and he looked around at all the Klingon's, in search for Kelik. Inside this building was a trading centre. Klingon Commanders were visiting merchant stands and buying accessory jems for thier wives.
Lei: "Okayyy..."
His eye suddenly caught Kelik, climbing a pillar in the background.
Lei, runs over: "Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

He takes out his Romulan Disrupter and aims it up at the climbing Suliban.
Kelik: "You would be a fool, Human!"
Lei fires a warning shot out at the open walkway. The disrupter pulse flys off into the sky. This brings the attention of most the Klingon's in the room, as all the commotion of trading has stopped and one head after another turns to look at Lei and Kelik.
Kelik: "See...? I told you."
Dartok, walks over: "Mhmph! Intruders!!"
A Klingon in the crowd flings a knife up at Kelik. Kelik jumps off the pillar, dodging it, but falls to the floor. He gets up, beside Lei. He now has a hatred for him.
Kelik: "You Human's ruin everything!!"
Lei and Kelik ignore the Klingon's as Lei aims his disrupter and fires again at Kelik. Kelik bends his head rubbery to dodge, as the pulse hits the pillar.
Gergh: "Kill them!"
Kelik grabs Lei's extended arm with the Disrupter, to aim it away. Lei then pulls Kelik closer and swings his fist. Kelik bends back, doging it and letting go.
Dartok: "Aauuuh!!!"
All the Klingon's attack. Dartok takes out his mek'leth and stabs it towards Lei. Lei spins to the side, missing it, and elbowing Dartok in the face.
Lei: "Argh!"
Two Klingon's grab Kelik's arms and pull him back, but Kelik stretches his neck around to smack his head onto both those two Klingon's heads. They let go in pain, as Kelik approaches Lei.
Kelik: "I can take you on. Bring it!"
Lei arcs across a standard kick, and then switches positions, arcing around another kick. Kelik is hit on both his sides in pain, but Kelik then stretches his arms out punching for Lei.
Lei, dodges to the left: "Ah! That's cheating!"
A Klingon runs over and swings his bat'leh around towards Lei's stomach. Lei falls purposely, his back hitting the floor, as the bat'leh flys over and he kicks it out of the Klingon's hands. Lei gets up and catches it out of mid-air, and uses it against other Klingon's. He turns in another direction clashing bat'leh after attacking bat'leh.

The Changeling shoots himself out the Timeship and onto the walkway to find out what's going on. He shoots himself to the wall of the building and creeps inside. Inside he sees the crowd of Klingon's who have thier attention focused on fighting Lei.
Krone: "Lei!"

A strong Klingon knocks the bat'leh out of Lei's hands. Lei backs away from this Klingon, jumping backwards. His back lands ontop of another Klingon's back, as he rolls himself over. Lei's feet hit the floor as he punches two other attacking Klingon's in the face.
Treth: "Haha! Your strength cannot compare to ours."
Pagoth: "Hahaha!"
Lei uses this oppourtunity to jump up, forcing a kick into Treth's stomach accurately, and then spinning around to jump kick Pagoth in the stomach accurately. They both fall back clumsily onto other Klingon's.
Lei: "Your stupidness can't compare."
Kelik beats a few Klingons away and runs over to Lei, grabbing Lei from behind. His arms coil around Lei's arms, capturing him.
Kelik: "You started all this!"
Lei head butts Kelik, causing Kelik more pain.
Kelik: "Augh!"

The Changeling, Krone, shoots himself into the crowd, flinging liquid tentacles around. Klingon's are hit and knocked unconscious.

Lei head butts Kelik again, and then hooks his foot around Kelik's ankle. He lift's Kelik's leg, positioning Kelik on and angle and then backs up, slamming Kelik into the pillar. Kelik's side hits the cracked edge that was disrupter blasted, causing much excruciating pain.
Lei: "Maybe I'll end it."
Lei is let go as he turns around to punch Kelik, but Kelik runs off, outside.

Lei watches as Kelik runs into the next Operations Facility in the distance. Nearby, Lei dodges an attacking Klingon, spinning the Klingon around into another Klingon and then runs outside after the Suliban. Krone sees this and leaves the crowd, chasing after Lei.
Lei: "Krone!"
Krone, moves along side: "You live an interesting life, Human."

Lei and the liquified Krone stop in their tracks in a field, as all the grass starts flickering in a sudden wind... They look up to see a Klingon Bird of Prey hovering in the sky, and aiming disrupters at them.

Lei, looks up in fear: "You mean 'lived'..."
