"No useable organic was found here." Beta Drone responded in kind. "A malfunctioning scanner caused a misreading of this island's lifeforms. Simplest flora and fauna only." Gamma Drone also concurred. "We shall attempt recovery of sphere fragment lost in Antarctic region." Delta Drone raised an objection. "We are Borg. We were sent here to assimilate the organic directly before us. All other chatter is irrelevant." The first three looked at Delta and pointed, speaking in slightly non-Borg terms for once. "You Do It." Delta Drone quietly informed the Collective of the scanner malfunction. The Borg then departed Skull Island quickly, secretly glad that they had never awakened the slumbering King Kong. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Title : Sphere and Superhero Author : Rob Morris Contact : gojirob@aol.comendspam Archive : www.southroad.com/brightfame Series : ENT, end of S2 Type : ENT Xover Characters : An unknown Starfleet fighter pilot Part : 1/1 Rating : G Summary : Like a super-jet he comes... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sphere and Superhero by Rob Morris EARTH, 2153 The story goes that the Xindi intended to mark only a certain area of the Earth, then have their prototype split open to reveal their message of warning. In fact, they had every hope of taking out the Earth and its inhabitants in one fell swoop. The warning message was an afterthought, left on what the Xindi considered the off chance of their sphere's downing. But while the finished weapon would need an expedition to take it out, the prototype was taken out by one fighter pilot--and he wasn't even using his craft. From the Starfleet base in Hokkaido, he saw the ugly thing tearing his planet's surface apart. Had it been more powerful, even he would have been lost. But at this stage of the weapon's development, he knew that one well-placed shot could take it out, so long as he was charged enough when he faced it. Grabbing the relic he had been given by the alien lawman, the human girded himself for the transformation that would save the planet. The Xindi would now need to rush to build their advanced superweapon, for, by using the Beta Capsule----Lt. Hayada became Ultraman. As crescented eyes glowed golden in Earth's exosphere, the Xindi and their allies/manipulators saw that Earth had a silvery titan for a protector, and that a prototype would not be enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Title : Time-Space And Terror Author : Rob Morris Contact : gojirob@aol.comendspam Archive : www.southroad.com/brightfame Series : TOS-Canon, with shades of a certain AU Type : TOS Xover Short Characters : K, S, others Part : 1/1 Rating : G Summary : Wow, Deja Vu... --------------------------------------------------------- Time-Space And Terror by Rob Morris USS ENTERPRISE, NCC-1701-A, ORBITING CESTUS THREE, 2286 Science Officer Peter Kirk bit down. This was going to be hard. "Mister Saavik, the enemy's energy processing center is located. You may fire when ready." Weapons Officer Saavik also understood the waste, and was revolted by it. But with the Captain and Spock trapped on the imperiled planet below, there simply was no choice. "Understood, Mister Kirk. Targeting energy center. A spread of six photon torpedoes. Launched." Once, it had terrorized ancient Earth, til it was forced to flee its enemies in 1999. Where it had been til the present was now irrelevant, as its ability to move and defend itself was ripped out of its gut by 23rd Century technology. The tricephalous nightmare plunged into the atmosphere, quickly burning to less than a cinder from the fires without and within, its many kilotons of mass aside. Lieutanant Kirk called down to Auxiliary Control, where the acting CO had been trapped by the initial damage from the monster's attack. "We can beam up the landing party, Commander. The creature is destroyed." "You and Mister Saavik made a good team on this one, Piotr. The Kyptin vwill be pleased. Also, I don't think he vwas happy protecting a Gorn colony." Since Saavik was coordinating ship repair between the Bridge and Auxiliary, it was left to Science Officer Kirk to make the initial report that regulations demanded short of total ship's systems' failure. He spoke the words that broke his scientist's heart. "King Ghidorah has been destroyed..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Title : Breen And Beast Author : Rob Morris Contact : gojirob@aol.comendspam Archive : www.southroad.com/brightfame Series : DS9 Type : Xover with Breen attack on Earth at the end of The Dominion War Characters : Breen attackers, one ticked-off Earth native radiovoric life form Part : 1/1 Rating : G Summary : They should have stayed in the mines... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- Breen And Beast by Rob Morris The attack on San Francisco was well underway, and so the secondary attack force moved out to find a prime target of opportunity. The nearly-programmed Jem'Hadar took over the attack on Starfleet HQ. The Breen, who considered themselves infinitely inventive, sought out the random target. They seemed to find it in an odd basin off of Tokyo Bay that appeared unnatural. It had high energy readings and read as a deeply hardened target. Beneath his helmet, the Breen squadron leader smiled. Surely this was an undersea base to which the leaders of Starfleet and the Federation had fled, to avoid their wrath. If this place were taken out, the Breen could demand Q'onos system from the Female Founder, no question. The vast tractor beams that had shredded Cadet Hall in San Francisco now pulled away the waters that hid the base, while white-hot beams boiled the rest away as they regathered. Beams that would soon rip apart even the localized starhearts of a Defiant-Class's shields tore into the object below. The imagined safety of the cowardly Terrans would die with their leaders. Then, the 'base' began to move. In a moment, it was standing on its hind legs. The fighter craft sent in to chip away at its armor were swatted like horseflies by an enormous tail that had been mistaken for an exhaust tube. Then, a glow first blue, then red, then gold built along an outer spine of dorsal fins. The grey-green 'base' fixed its white-eyed gaze on the main Breen Baseship. The squadron leader learned to speak one word of Terran before a beam like no other emerged from the mouth of the misscanned creature, cutting his ship in two with no effort. "Godzilla." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Title : Seal and Shell Author : Rob Morris Contact : gojirob@aol.comendspam Archive : www.southroad.com/brightfame Series : DS9 Xover Type : Post-WYLB short Characters : K, JaS, N, S Part : 1/1 Rating : G Summary : With the help of an old and powerful friend, the Prophets make a -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Seal and Shell by Rob Morris BAJOR, 2378 Their Emissary appeared to them in a vision, on Bajor and on Deep Space Nine. "The Bajora will no longer allow their chosen place to be grasped at like a favored toy among small selfish children. The shell of fire descends from the sky, and this shall be the seal to make things right again." Jake Sisko rushed down to the planet Nog shrugged as he piloted the runabout. "Tell me you're not going to interview it." "Tell me you're not going to try and stop me." Staying above, Colonel Kira watched the shell of fire descend. Her plans to leave could now come to pass, as her world would be safe. She ordered all monitors tuned to coverage of the landing. Quark salivated at the thought of all the souvenirs he would sell, possibly enough profits to buy Rom's undeserved position, should he so desire. Separately on Q'onos and Cardassia, Martok and Garak rejoiced. Surely this would put down once and for all any 'interventionist' talk on their worlds, and let them concentrate on weightier issues. Romulan intelligence just sort of crossed Bajor off their many lists. At last on Bajor, the shell of fire landed. Arms and legs emerged from the holes where the fire had been. The great creature stood upright, and roared. A fireball emerged from its tusked mouth, as the eyes on its ridged head went wide. The fireball struck the distant Fire Caves, sealing them possibly forever. The adults were afraid, but not the children, who knew the monster was their friend and protector. It was the beginning of a long, long period of peace in two quadrants. For on that day, Gamera The Invincible came to dwell on Bajor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Title : Air And Earth Author : Rob Morris Contact : gojirob@aol.comendspam Archive : www.southroad.com/brightfame Series : Voy Short Type : Xover Characters : A Voy Regular Part : 1/1 Rating : G Summary : This time, it was able to comply. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Air And Earth by Rob Morris Her vast rainbowed wings moved her through space like it was an ocean of air. She passed through star systems unguessed at, her multi-faceted eyes taking in every detail of the sheer wonder of the life around her. Her tufted soft hair located in just the right spots kept the eternal vacuum feeling as warm as a day in early June. Her antennae guided her unerringly through the vast cosmos, until at last old faithful Sol was in sight, a smile creasing the star-sun for those who could see it. Past Pluto, Ouranos and Neptune she flew, laughing at the gentle tug she felt from the combined gravity wells at the mid-point twixt Saturn and Jupiter. She delighted in brushing against the new atmosphere the Humans had placed on dead Mars. They could learn, after all, it seemed. At last she set down on Earth, letting out small cries of exultation. For she swore then that she would wander no more. Earth was her home, and her protectorate. She was Mothra. She was Mosura. She was--- "Captain?" The doors had opened. Paris had warned her just how immersive combining the innovations of the VR from Equinox with his own tricks would be. Painfully, Kathryn Janeway pulled back her opened arms and resumed a Captain's stance.
