The Last Best Hope For Piece Rated PG-14 for fun! It's... SPACE: BEHIND AND BETWEEN by Jason Donner Part twelve - episode title: "The Last Best Hope For Piece" Previously in our epic, although slightly misdirected tale, Harry was attacked by an alien face-hugger on the Colonial Space Marine transport Sulaco while trying to get the timer away from the Kazon. While attempting to rescue the rescue team, Dr. Sam Beckett leaped into Rembrandt Brown, and Doc Brown and Marty McFly flew out of that rift that is threatening to destroy everything. The away team on the Sulaco was eventually rescued and all was going fine, until Paris, alone on the shuttle flew to warp 10 and disappeared. Back on Voyager, the face-hugger finally released Harry and died, the evil leaper, Zowie, leaped into Kes, Torres stole the timer and knocked Quinn silly, and Arturo and Janeway finally acknowledged their mutual attraction. This was all interrupted, however, when a baby alien busted out of Harry's chest and began running amok in sickbay. This little fiasco was interrupted when the Kazon, forgotten until now, began attacking the still crippled Voyager. And THIS was further interrupted when the White Star from Babylon 5 flew out of the rift, destroyed the Kazon and trained weapons on Voyager. As we rejoin our story, Tuvok is telling Janeway that Voyager cannot withstand an assalt by the White Star vessel. Tuvok: Captain, I feel I should point out that Voyager cannot withstand an assault by the White Star vessel. Janeway: Perfect! Open hailing frequencies! Tuvok: Frequencies open! Janeway: This is captain Janeway of the USS Voyager. Pleeeeeease!!! Don't kill us! [On the viewer, Captain Sheridan appears with Delenn, Marcus, and Ivonova.] Sheridan: I'm Captain John Sheridan. Babylon 5. Who are you and why have you brought us here!? Janeway: I assure you Captain, you're being brought here was a big huge horrible accident. Sheridan: [fingering weapons button] Was it your fault? Janeway: No. Arturo: I'm afraid the blame kinda falls on me, sir. Janeway: Max! Arturo: It's all right, my dear. Captain Sheridan, I am the one to blame. If anyone is to be punished, it should be me. Sheridan: Well, I'm touched. Delenn: Sorry. Sheridan: No, that's okay. Keep doing it. Arturo: You're going to let us live, then? Sheridan: I suppose I should. Let me just ask one question. Are you allied with the shadows? Arturo: The shadows? Isn't that a baseball team in Ohio? Chakotay: No, they're an ancient Indian myth. Tuvok: They are phenomenon caused by the blockage of light by an object. Janeway: That's all fine and good, but are we allied with them? Arturo: To tell you the truth, I'm so confused, I just don't know anymore. Janeway: Okay Sinclair... Sheridan: SHERIDAN!!! Janeway: Whatever, listen... we are a federation of planets. Since we came into this area of space, we have allied ourselves with the Sliders, the Empire, and a couple of time travelers named Doc and Marty. Does that help? Sheridan: I'm not sure. Let me confer with my first officer. Ivonova: I don't like it. KILL THEM!!! [The White Star begins shooting mercilessly at Voyager] -------------------------------- COMMERCIAL BREAK [This is a commercial for the upcoming movie, "The Fifth Element". 5 Coming Soon (Although we can't tell you when) -------------------------------- Janeway: Torres!!! We need power to the shields or we're done for!!! Tuvok: She is still not answering!!! Janeway: What the hell is she doing!? [below decks in engineering] Zowie: Tell me Thames, why has Lothos brought me here? Thames: Oh, how wonderful! You are to assist in the destruction of the universe! Zowie: How!? Thames: Well, my dear. There is this spatial rift... this... big ass hole in space that, if left unchecked, with explode and destroy everything! Zowie: Thames, do you know what this means!? Thames: Uhh... We need to move to another universe by the 24th century? Zowie: Besides that. If we succeed in this mission, the big guy might just forgive me for that Doogie Howser fiasco! Thames: Good point! Zowie: How can I help blow up the universe. Thames: Lothos says that there's a 78% probability that if you assist a mad woman named Belanna Torres.... boom!!! [In engineering, Quinn has finally woke up. Unfortunately, Torres has him tied up as she connects the timer to the warp drive] Quinn: What are you doing!? You fool!!! You'll destroy everything!!! Torres: Nonsense!!! I'm going home!!! HA!!! HA!!! HA!!! [Zowie enters] Torres: Kes!!! Uh... it's not what your think! Zowie: Don't worry. I'm not Kes, I'm an evil time traveler from the future... which is now the past. I think. This is my invisible pal, Thames. Torres: "Thaymes?" Zowie: No, read my lips, not the script... Thames... Pronounced "Tims". Thames: Like the river! Zowie: Like the river. Thames: I just said that. Zowie: I know, but she can't hear you! Torres: Excuse me, I don't give a shit what your name is, but if you want to get us home, I'll welcome the help. Zowie: Delicious... Quinn: NO!!! [Back on the bridge] Tuvok: The ship canna take much more 'o this cappin!!! Chakotay: We must surrender! Janeway: Nonsense!!! I'll blow up the ship before I surrender! Arturo: Nonsense!! You'll surrender before you blow up the ship! Tuvok: We may not have to do either. The White Star is moving in for the kill. [On the screen, the White Star gets closer... closer... and closer... and suddenly, powers down it's weapons.] Janeway: ...the hell!? Tuvok: The White Star has surrendered, Captain. Janeway: What!? Open a channel Tuvok: Channel open. [Delenn appears on screen] Delenn: There is a hole in your mind. Janeway: What? Marcus: Don't ask. It's some weird Minbari shit. Janeway: I trust that hostilities between us are over. Sheridan: Yes... Janeway: Good. If you would like, we can beam you over so we can discuss how to keep the universe from exploding. Sheridan: Sounds fun. Janeway: Tuvok, tell transporter Room 1 to beam Captain Sheridan and his party aboard. Tuvok: Aye, captain. Captain... I just noticed something odd. Janeway: What is it? Tuvok: It means weird or unusual, but that's not important right now. The station that Ensign Expendable was sitting at. It is covered with blood and icky stuff. Janeway: My God!!! The alien got him! Arturo: Wow!!! It ate him while we were standing here!? Chakotay: Yeah, and it crapped in the turbolift. [In sickbay] Robot: DANGER!! DANGER!! DANGER!! Sam: Where did that come from? Wade: I don't know but it's annoying! Vader: I'll handle it. [Vader whips out his saber and destroys the Robot] Wade: Thank you!!! Al: Sam, I've got some bad news. The evil leaper is here. Sam: What!? Wade: What? Sam: Nothing. Al: Ziggy says that there is a 98% chance that the evil leaper is someone on this ship! Sam: WHAT!!!??? Wade: Rembrandt, who are you talking to? Kim: He's talking to the funny man in the red suit. Al: You can see me!? Kim: Of course I can see you! Marty: Who's he talking to? Doctor: He's obviously delirious. Kim: I am not!!! Sam: Al, how can he see you!? Al: You know how it works, Sam. Animals, children, and people like him can see me because they're morons. Now, we have to save the universe and expose the evil leaper!!! Sam: Right!!! Q: Mr. Brown, whom are you talking to? Sam: My name is not Rembrandt Brown! It's Dr. Sam Beckett of Project Quantum Leap. This is my associate, Al. Al: Hi. Kim: Hi Al! Vader: I do not see Al. Wade: Me neither. Doctor: Mr. Kim's hallucinations are spreading. [to security guards] Take Mr. Brown to the ship's loony bin. Sam: [as he's dragged away] Noooo!!! I'm serious!!! You are all going to be destroyed!!! Holy plot twists Batman! Will Sam Beckett be confined to the ship's loony bin? Will Torres and Zowie end up destroying the universe? Will Arturo and Janeway finally find time to be alone? Will Tom Paris ever return from his Warp 10 joyride? IS there a hole in Janeway's mind? Why? Why? WHY!!!??? TO BE CONTINUED!!!
