Spin-off 3C

Forged in Something, Part III

As soon as transfers complete, the Vorcha-class B'Cnah powers up its engines and weapons systems.
Menchez: "Lieutenant, fire disrupters onto that piece of junk."
Kent: "Heyyyy. I met the love of my life on that ship. Oh, fine. She was rude to me the other day, so this'll show her."
Disrupters are then fired onto the old Bird of Prey, destroying it. Pieces of it are blown out into space in all directions.
Menchez: "Ha! That felt good; cleansing, if you will. Now it's time for a little one on one with a certain Remen vessel. I do hope they will be free for their deaths. Scheduling is such a thing these days."
The B'Cnah then rotates and jumps to warp.

Meanwhile, the Legion cuts plasma beams into the hull of a Ferengi transport. Two Ferengi in its cockpit begin to panic from the attack.
Purn: "Oh no! Make them stop!"
Nex: "These are Klingons, you moron. They eat live worms for a living!"
Purn: "Ew! Wait, don't we eat those too?"
Nex: "Oh yeah. You know, I could go for a good tube grub right now. The squishy kind. None of that rough edge stuff that tears up your throat for sport that the new kids are into these days."

Just then, the B'Cnah drops warp and rotates themselves into a position over to the Legion.
Menchez: "Prepare to die, you Remen scum! Sure, you're an oppressed race, but I'm not acknowledging that right now."
>Phine: "So, you have a new ship I see? The turn-around rate for you Klingons is a lot faster than I expected?"
Menchez: "Things were expedited in response to your foolish robbing from the rich!"
>Phine: "You know we're giving it to the poor, don't you? We're good guys in this scenario."
The B'Cnah prematurely blasts a disrupter pulse into the Legion's side.
Menchez: "Wait. You are?"
Phine: "Too late! Now, endure the Reman battlecries from our telepathic abilities!"

The Legion pulls the Ferengi transport around in space, and lets them go. The transport goes flying towards the B'Cnah, prompting the B'Cnah to impulse under it.
Menchez: "Target their torpedo canons! Whoa, can you hear that? They weren't kidding about the mind-stuff."

The B'Cnah swoops over the Legion, pumping disruptor cannons into them. The Legion's shields then weaken.
Phine: "Tain, target their disrupter banks. They will rue the day they used them against Reman-kind."
Tain: "Yes, sir. I am on it."
Phine: "You better be! Sorry, I'm just a little anxious."

The Legion and B'Cnah face-rotate around each other, before the Legion accelerates past the B'Cnah, to the right, slamming torpedoes into their side shields.

Another torpedo breaks through the shields and blows the B'Cnah's left disrupter discharger. Damage reports, chaos and alerts ring throughout the Bridge.
Menchez: "Seal that deck! Put out that fire! Send those men to the Medical Bay!"
Kent: "We're doing all that we can."
Menchez: "Then do it better! Do, do, do! Hey, I just made up a song. Write that down for the victory melody."

The B'Cnah then rotates around, catching up to above the Legion, blasting their left disrupter through their shields. Parts of the Legion suddenly explode.

Meanwhile, the Ferengi transport watches in shock.
Nex: "That is utterly brutal. Why can't people just be civil?"
Purn: "Are we still here? We should probably get back to our cargo run. Life calls. And money. Don't forget the money."
Nex: "Agreed. Get it? A 'greed'. Ha. Anyway, you're right. Let's go."
The transport rotates in space and then jumps to warp.

From the Legion, the Remans notice the change in ship-presence dynamics.
Phine: "Oh great! There goes the supplies we were going to feed those orphaned Reman kids with!"
Tain: "You think they'll eat gagh instead, sir?"
Phine: "That is disgusting. I wouldn't wish that on the slaviest Romulan slave owner."
The Legion and the B'Cnah pass each other over and over again, firing back and forth. Hull's blow and pieces fly out into space.

Just then, the B'Cnah spins around to face the passing Legion. The B'Cnah fires a photon torpedo out into space at the Legion, and with their only discharger, then fires a disruptor beam into that torpedo.

A large explosion then knocks the Legion off-course and the right-wing of their ship breaks off. The Legion becomes two hulking masses in space, floating peacefully.

Menchez: "Hahaha!! You have been defeated!"
He hails them to see that the Legion's Bridge is completely in smoking ruins.
>Phine: "I'll get you for this, Menchez. I know how to hold a grudge. Don't think that I don't!"
Menchez: "Silence, you piece of petaQ! The mistake here was you interfering with Klingon affairs. We are mighty, and require confirmation of that on a regular basis!"
He then cuts the screen out.
Menchez: "Haha! Honour is ours."
Kent: "Want me to destroy them, sir?"
The Captain looks back at his crew, considering this. He recognizes that part of the crew is Federation, and something else gives him pause.
Menchez: "Hmm. Perhaps not. They fought diligently and lost. To eliminate the universe of a good warrior would be a waste. Also, these photons are much nicer than our old ones! Let's not exhaust them so quickly."
He walks over to the helm.
Menchez: "Take us back to Klingon space."
Ch'Tong: "Aye, Captain; compromising our Klingon values now— I mean, doing my job now."
The Klingon warrior taps at the helm, jumping the B'Cnah back into warp.
