"Fight Bringers, Part III"
(On the small craft timeship Klon, over the planet Klokian)
Gotens: That's weird. There's no one down there? Oh, that's right, I'm in the wrong century.
(He accesses the controls. The craft disappears in a flash and reappears in the late 24th century. The Phoenix-X floats in front of it and starts firing phasers. The ship shakes like crazy)
Gotens: Hey, it's me!!
(The firing stops)
>Armond: Oh, sorry.
Gotens: Where's the Captain? I just found out these Klokian people are bad guys.
>Armond: He's been captured by them, so your findings are moot.
Gotens (checks): Damn. The Klokian's aren't on this planet in this century either?
>Armond: We came to the same conclusion. We don't know what to do.
Gotens: Drop your shields. I'm going to put a Klokian temporal wake around the both of us.
(Armond nods. Gotens accesses auto navigation again and both the Klon and the Phoenix-X disappear in a flash. They reappear fifteen centuries later, in the 39th century, in the same spot)
(On the Phoenix-X)
Red: The planet is inhabited! Twelve thousand Klokians.
Armond: Ready the Sonan weapon. We're gonna wipe them all out.
>Gotens: Wait! Our non-genocidal values! Also, I have to get the Captain out.
(Six enemy Klokian small craft fly from the planet, towards the Phoenix-X, and fire tetryon beams)
Armond: Their weapons are fifteen centuries more sophisticated than ours. Hurry!!
(Gotens nods and takes the Klon down onto the red Klokian planet. It maneuvers by many industrial buildings. He accesses auto navigation again. The craft lands in front of the Q Conversion Centre. He jumps out and runs inside the factory)
Gotens: So much for security.
(He sees hallway after hallway and then suddenly bumps into a Klokian)
Kloka: Hey!!
Gotens (jabs neck): I have just cut off the flow of blood to your brain. You'll be dead within fifty-eight seconds if you don't tell me how to get to the Captain.
Kloka (falls to knees): Argh! Take a left, a right, two lefts, two rights, another left, a right, go straight past the Q Rejection Chambers, a left, another left, left again and right— Argh!!
Gotens (jabs to release): Thanks.
(He runs down the hallways)
Kloka (gets up): I hope I don't get fired for this.
(Klokian and Sonan stand before the dissecting machine. Klokain places the Omni sphere into the socket. Spikes from the machine suddenly jab into the sphere)
#Daniel (inside): Owe!!
Klokian: Machine will now suck the life away from you.
(The machine powers up)
#Daniel: AAaaahh!!
(The Daniel entity fights to stay in the sphere but is sucked out into the machinery)
Klokian: It is the end for you.
(Daniel is pulled through a shining blast of spikey energy. He feels his life begin to end)
#Daniel: Arrgghh— He's right...
(His life ends in the machine, but a record scratches)
Daniel: Wait a second.
(Klokian and Sonan turn around to see him standing behind them)
Klokian: What the—?
Daniel: You've only caught eight Q's in the past three cycles of the Universe?
Klokian: Get him!!
Sonan (cracks knuckles): Time to macho.
(The Captain blasts a beam of energy at Sonan)
(He accesses the controls. The craft disappears in a flash and reappears in the late 24th century. The Phoenix-X floats in front of it and starts firing phasers. The ship shakes like crazy)
Gotens: Hey, it's me!!

Klokian: Get him!!
Sonan (cracks knuckles): Time to macho.
(The Captain blasts a beam of energy at Sonan)
Daniel: Don't forget who's the better Q.
(The artificial Sonan goes flying back into the machine, smashing it)
Sonan: Arrgghh!!!
Klokian (shakes head): Another failure. Klokian send you to Greece.
Sonan: No! I'll get you back for this Daniel. I will have my revenge!!
(He runs away)
(Gotens turns a corner and passes the Q Rejection Chambers.)
Kloki (working, pulls a lever): Okay, let's send these rejections to Ancient Greece.
(The artificial Sonan runs passed Gotens)
Sonan: I'm outta here!!
(The artificial Sonan goes flying back into the machine, smashing it)
Sonan: Arrgghh!!!
Klokian (shakes head): Another failure. Klokian send you to Greece.
Sonan: No! I'll get you back for this Daniel. I will have my revenge!!
(He runs away)
(Gotens turns a corner and passes the Q Rejection Chambers.)
Kloki (working, pulls a lever): Okay, let's send these rejections to Ancient Greece.
(The artificial Sonan runs passed Gotens)
Sonan: I'm outta here!!
(Daniel blasts Klokian, but has no effect on him)
Daniel: What the—? That was a lot of power?
Klokian (attacks): Q power not effective on Klokian. One touch of me and you will suffer!!
Daniel (dodges): Jeez. Watch where you put that thing.
(Klokian leaps and is about to tackle Daniel, but Gotens comes from the side and tackles Klokian from mid air. They roll and crash)
Klokian: Aaarrrgghh!! How you dare!!
Gotens (gets up): You couldn't handle this short guy?
Daniel (shrugs): Where've you been? My crew always waits until the last minute.
Gotens: Let's get outta here.
Daniel (touches the wall): Darn. I can't get through the external parts of their buildings either. What Universe are these things from?
Gotens (runs): Don't worry, I know the way out. It's a left, three rights, straight, left, right, left, left, right, right, left, right, then we're out.
Daniel: Sounds easy enough. Well, it looks you did come through for me in the end after all.
Gotens (shrugs): I just needed a little convicting from a certain Warrior Princess.
Daniel: Huh? What are you talking about?
Gotens: Uhh.
Daniel: Was there some kind of crossover?
Gotens: No, sir. Just regular time travel.
Daniel: Alright then. Let's go. Captain to Phoenix-X. Do you read us?
(The Phoenix-X is damaged badly from the Klokian small craft swarm and tetryon attacks. More Klokian craft arrive)
Armond (holding on): Any signs of the Commander or the Captain!?
(A support beam falls)
Red: I dunno. Planetary sensors are knocked out!!
Kayl: Look, a Klokian ship coming towards us!!
Armond: Kayl, they're all coming towards us!!
Ensign Dan (enters): I guess this is a bad time for me.
#Gotens: Commander Gotens to Phoenix-X, fire your Sonan weapon!!
Armond (nods to Kayl): Okay, you heard him!
#Daniel: Hey, I give the orders around here!
(Pause)
#Daniel: Just do what he said.
Kayl: I can't! It's the time distortion from all the Klokian ships! I might fire into the wrong century!!
(The space between the swarming fleet of Klokian craft and the Phoenix-X begins to bend and warp)
(On the Klon, Gotens and Daniel take the small craft out of the atmosphere to observe the swarm)
Gotens: We have to get rid of that distortion.
Daniel: I dunno if I can do it. I don't have control over my all my powers.
(Gotens takes the ship into the swarm and fires tetryon beams at the Klokian craft. Space seems to distort with all the ships close together)
Gotens: Two ships, port and starboard!! Shields down to 32%!!
(Daniel looks at the incoming ships and makes them disappear)
Gotens: Another one!
(Daniel makes that one disappear.)
Gotens (calms): Okay, that should be eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooouuuuuuu.......eb dluohs taht , yakO— !!Eno rehtona—
(The ship hits a time current.)
Gotens: Two ships, port and starboard!! Shields down to 32%!!
(The Captain looks around in confusion)
Daniel (checks): The auto navigation is interfacing with the time controls! The time distortion must be altering the matter configuration of our controls.
(They find themselves landed on the Klokian planet in front of the Q Conversion Centre)
>Past Kloka (outside): Hey!
Gotens: What are we doing here?
(The control panel snaps with static. The ship shakes from tetryon beams)
Daniel: This doesn't make any sense, there's no ship here.
(They look out the window again and instead of the red sky of the Klokian planet, they see a blue sky. An army of humans approach the crashed Past, Present Klon in Ancient Greece)
Gotens: Artelus!
>Past, Present Don (outside): What is this thing?
>Past, Present Artelus (outside): It seems to be a demon creation!! Ares was right! We have destroy these things!!
(The army runs passed the ship, the ground rumbles)
>Past, Present Artelus Army: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!
>Past, Present Artelus Army: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!
Gotens: The ship is going backwards to its previous places.
Daniel (snaps): I can get us out of here.
(They go back in time relevant to the Klon, to the beginning, when it was inhabited by Past Gotens and Past Klokian, who appear beside them. They look at the original Gotens and Daniel in confusion)
Past Gotens: Captain?
Past Klokian (holding Omni sphere): Klokian confused?
Gotens (steals Omni sphere): The time craft is made from Q material. Maybe I can suck in the extra material we got from the other ships with this thing?
Daniel (snaps): I can get us out of here.

Past Gotens: Captain?
Past Klokian (holding Omni sphere): Klokian confused?
Gotens (steals Omni sphere): The time craft is made from Q material. Maybe I can suck in the extra material we got from the other ships with this thing?
(They observe as the Omni sphere sucks in the static on he control panel. The four then go back in time relevant to the Klon when Xena and Gotens return to it after a Grecian adventure. A third Gotens, and a bunch of people are suddenly outside, at the door of the Klon)
Past, Future Xena: What will you do now?
Past, Future Gotens: I've been neglecting my duties long enough. I think it's time I went back—
Past, Future Xena: What will you do now?
Past, Future Gotens: I've been neglecting my duties long enough. I think it's time I went back—
#Armond: Captain, come in! There is a temporal distor—
(In the Klon's cockpit, the windowed Ancient Greece scenery flashes into stars and the Phoenix-X and then suddenly back to the Ancient Greece scenery. Past Klokian shoves Gotens and takes the Omni sphere back and runs out)
Gotens: Hey!!
Past, Future Ares: What's happening?
Daniel: Quiet!! I'm trying to concentrate on subduing the future distortion.
#Armond: —ortion is stalling our action. We can't risk firing the Sonan weap—

Daniel: Quiet!! I'm trying to concentrate on subduing the future distortion.
#Armond: —ortion is stalling our action. We can't risk firing the Sonan weap—
(The background flashes)
Gotens: Fire!! Armond, the Captain is suppressing the distortion, so you can fire into it. Fire, now!
Past, Future Xena (runs in): I got the sphere!
(The Omni sphere is static from the Q material. Past, Future Xena disappears and goes back to the time relevant to the Omni sphere, to the 24th century, when it was first taken in the Phoenix-X's Sickbay)
Gotens: Fire!! Armond, the Captain is suppressing the distortion, so you can fire into it. Fire, now!
Past, Future Xena (runs in): I got the sphere!
(The Omni sphere is static from the Q material. Past, Future Xena disappears and goes back to the time relevant to the Omni sphere, to the 24th century, when it was first taken in the Phoenix-X's Sickbay)
Past, Past, Past Lox: Who are you?
Past, Future Xena (holding onto the Omni sphere as its on the table): What the?
(Gotens and Daniel are arguing)
Past, Future Xena (holding onto the Omni sphere as its on the table): What the?
(Gotens and Daniel are arguing)
Past, Past, Past Daniel: You are supposed to be on the Bridge dealing with the alien vessel that we've encountered.
Past, Past, Past Gotens: Uh. I hardly think Starfleet's interested in things like that.
Past, Future Xena: Fire, he said! He said, fire!! Tell Armond to fire!!
Past, Past, Past Daniel (taps commbadge): Daniel to Armond. Are you expecting any visitors?
(The sphere starts to become static again. Xena quickly notices a commbadge on everyone in the room. She quickly grabs the commbadge off of Past, Past, Past Doctor Lox before flashing away)
Past, Past, Past Gotens: Uh. I hardly think Starfleet's interested in things like that.
Past, Future Xena: Fire, he said! He said, fire!! Tell Armond to fire!!
Past, Past, Past Daniel (taps commbadge): Daniel to Armond. Are you expecting any visitors?
(The sphere starts to become static again. Xena quickly notices a commbadge on everyone in the room. She quickly grabs the commbadge off of Past, Past, Past Doctor Lox before flashing away)
(Past, Future Xena then finds herself back in Ancient Greece, in the Klon's cockpit, with Daniel, Gotens, Past Gotens and Past, Future Gotens)
Daniel: Xena's back. She's going the opposite direction in time now!
(A static connection from the sphere to the control panel occurs. Past, Future Xena travels through time to the 39th century, where the Klokian fleet is swarming the Phoenix-X. She finds herself alone on the Klon, to after the moment Daniel and Gotens had begun time traveling. The window shows the swarm of Klokian craft and the Phoenix-X)

Past, Future Xena (presses commbadge): Fire!! Armond, fire into the distortion. It is being suppressed. Just do it!
#Armond: Who's this?
Past, Future Xena (presses controls): Fire into the distortion!
(The Klon fires a tetryon wake up beam on the Phoenix-X)
#Armond: Hey!
#Kayl: Sounds like an order-relay to fire the Sonan weapon despite the risk. It does appear the distortion is weakening.
#Armond (nods): Her voice is so authoritive. It gives me chills. Make it so.
(Meanwhile, another Omni sphere static sends Past, Future Xena away again)
#Armond: Who's this?
Past, Future Xena (presses controls): Fire into the distortion!
(The Klon fires a tetryon wake up beam on the Phoenix-X)
#Armond: Hey!
#Kayl: Sounds like an order-relay to fire the Sonan weapon despite the risk. It does appear the distortion is weakening.
#Armond (nods): Her voice is so authoritive. It gives me chills. Make it so.
(Meanwhile, another Omni sphere static sends Past, Future Xena away again)
(The Phoenix-X loads its ultimate weapon. The torpedo banks fire a ball of energy. It slowly goes out then suddenly releases a massive beam of Q energy towards the Klokian craft and planet. The blast dies down and all the ships and planet suddenly disappear in a flash)
Armond: There. We've destroyed them.
Shane: Are you sure? It looked more like they flashed away?
(In Ancient Greece, on the Klon, Past, Future Xena re-appears with Daniel, Gotens, Past Gotens and Past, Future Gotens)
Gotens: The ghost firing stopped.
Daniel: And, now, so has the temporal distortion.
Past Klokian (re-enters): Give Klokian the Omni sphere!! See now time is mis-ordered. Must ensure events happen.
Past, Future Xena (tosses it to him): Here.
(The static from the sphere grabs Past Klokian and Past Gotens to disappear them in a flash)
Past, Future Xena: I will not be coming back here.
Daniel: Thanks, Xena.
(She steps off the ship leaving Past, Future Gotens)
Daniel: And, now, so has the temporal distortion.
Past Klokian (re-enters): Give Klokian the Omni sphere!! See now time is mis-ordered. Must ensure events happen.
Past, Future Xena (tosses it to him): Here.
(The static from the sphere grabs Past Klokian and Past Gotens to disappear them in a flash)
Past, Future Xena: I will not be coming back here.
Daniel: Thanks, Xena.
(She steps off the ship leaving Past, Future Gotens)
Past, Future Gotens: I still have no idea what's going on? Should I still do my things like I was going to?
Gotens (hits controls): Yes!
(The cockpit flashes Daniel and Gotens away and leaving it empty for him)
Past, Future Gotens: Okay, then. Time to act surprised about everything.
(Captain Daniel and Commander Gotens reappear aboard the empty Klon, in the 39th century, in front of a missing planet and safe Phoenix-X)
Daniel: Finally, we're home. But, are the Klokian?
>Armond: That remains to be seen. As for us, not exactly. We're still in the distant, distant, distant, distant future.
Gotens (hits controls): I guess I have to take care of that too.
(He activates a temporal wake, which sends the Phoenix-X and the Klon back in time to the 24th century)
Daniel: My power control is harder and more reaching than I thought but I think we have just stumbled onto a whole new level of this trekking thing. Let's also take strangers more seriously.
Gotens: Activating professionalism, sir.
Daniel: Lieutenant Commander Armond, beam us up, tractor this ship into the shuttle bay, and take us back into Federation space.
>Armond: This emptied Klokian space is giving me the creeps. Aye, Captain.
Gotens (hits controls): Yes!
(The cockpit flashes Daniel and Gotens away and leaving it empty for him)
Past, Future Gotens: Okay, then. Time to act surprised about everything.
