Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 1

  "You can not do it!" Said Elika. "I can't live without you..." 
"I know.. But I have to! I love you. I always will. Goodbye, Elika..." Said Delenn. She
entered the ship that will take her away from her lover, and into Babylon 5.
Elika looked at his lover, for the last time. He will die in piece now. He 
cried, and then he shot himself.
  Delenn screamed. 
"Delenn, what happened?" Asked John. 
"A nightmare from the past, John. I have to go to Minbar. Tomorrow." Answered Delenn. She started to pack her things. 
"But... But why?" Asked Sheridan. 
"You're crying.." "I know. I'm sorry. I do not know if I will ever come back from Minbar. I... I do not know what to do.. Hold me John. Please, hold me..."
                    
  "I want to speak with Koral, son of Eril. I am Delenn, daughter of  Jore'an" 
Said Delenn to a minbari girl. In a few seconds she was in front of him. He was a 
very old minbari. Delenn could see that he is in pain, and that will die in a few months.
  "You have broken your word, Delenn. Your place is in Babylon 5. Your 
fate isn't here." Said Koral, as he turned around. 
"Your son is alive. I had a dream. When he shot himself, he fainted. He did not died. I saw it. He shot himself in the stomach. A minbari can not die from a shot in the stomach." Said Delenn. Koral stood there for a minute. 
"I know. He has a home in Peloari 3. He might be on his ship." Said Koral. 
"Why did you lied to me?" Asked Delenn. 
"You should not have come here." Said Koral, as he walked from the room.
  After Delenn left the house, Koral stood in front of the screen-communicator.
"she is coming to you, son." Said Koral 
"I know. I will be ready for her. Thank you, father."

  "This is my last message to you, John. Years ago, before I came to Babylon 5, I was in love. His name was Elika. He was my assistant, before Lanir. When I heard that I was going to Babylon 5, I didn't know what to do. And so, I left him, and he didn't want to live without me. He shot himself. But now I know that he is alive. My destiny is with him. Goodbye, John." Said Delenn. She wanted to cry, but she didn't want John to remember her that way. 
  "The ship is approaching Peloari 3." Said the computer. 
"Are there any ships near the planet?" Asked Delenn. 
"One ship, unknown." 
"Show me the ship." Said Delenn. 
"No! It... It can't be!" Screamed Delenn. On the screen there was one ship. A ship that Delenn didn't see before. But she saw enough to know, to know that she is looking at a vorlon ship!        



Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 2

  Delenn decided that she will go and try to meet Elika on the planet. When her shuttle landed, she was rivaled to a wonderful world, green, with beautiful flowers, and then, she heard a voice behind her. 
"I've been waiting for you for quite a while. Welcome, Delenn." 
"Why didn't you contact me?" 
"Not now. It is not important." 
"You have a vorlon ship." Said Delenn, but she didn't turn around. She was afraid of what she would see.  
"Do you steel love me?" Asked Delenn. 
"The question is, Delenn, is do you steel love me?" Asked Elika. 
"Only time will tell." 
"But what if he won't tell us?" 
"Why would he not tell us?" Asked Delenn. 
"Why would he do tell us?" Delenn didn't make a noise. 
"Why do you speak like a Vorlon?" Thought Delenn. 
"Cause they taught me how." 
"You can read minds?!" 
"Yes. I told you. They taught me. I am better now, Delenn. Stronger. Come, you shall rest now." Said Elika, and Delenn fell to the ground, and fell asleep.

  When Delenn woke up, she found herself in a green room . On the sides of the room, there was an odd green light, 
"Where am I? Wha... What happened?" Delenn shoocked her head. 
"Go through the walls." 
"Who is this?" Asked Delenn. 
"It's me, Elika. Go through he walls. Trust me, Delenn." Delenn stood up. She walked to the walls. She raised her hand, and touched the wall. It felt like there was a liquid instead of the wall. She walked through the wall. It was very dense. After she walked through the walls, she found herself in a big hall, with a chain of windows, with a view to the space. Elika stood in front of her. 
"Are we on the ship?" Asked Delenn. 
"Yes. You have a lot of questions. I have some answers. I shot myself, but a vorlon ship rescued me. They taught me their secrets. They shared their souls to me. They gave me this ship." 
"But why?" 
"I don't know. Maybe I was their key to survive." 
"Why do you think that?" Asked Delenn. 
"When they shared their souls to me, I let them see my soul. They learned from me a lot about the minbari people. Now I have a vorlon soul in me. I am not a minbari any more." Delenn was shocked. 
"John thinks that all vorlon ships are alive. Is this true?" Asked Delenn. 
"John? Let me see John." Said Elika, as he scanned Delenn's mind for any memories about John. Elika erased all memories of John from Delenn's mind.

  "What in the gods name?!" 
"What happened?" Asked John. 
"It's a ship, sr. A vorlon ship..." Answered the man on the bridge. 
"Hello. Requesting a permission to dock." Said Delenn. 
"Who is speaking?" 
"Delenn, daughter of Jore'an, and Elika, son of Da'IL." 
"Delenn? It's John!" 
"I do not know no one by that name." Answered Delenn.

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 3

  "What?!" yelled John. 
"Is this some kind of a joke?" 
"I do not know who are you. Can we enter?" Asked Delenn. 
"Yes! You're my wife!" 
"I think that you have a mistake. Delenn is my wife." Answered Elika. In the end, Delenn got an apartment to Elika and herself. 

  "Lyta, please. It's been 3 days and Delenn still doesn't remember me." 
"No! I'm sorry, John. I can't scan Delenn! I want to, but It's against everything I believe in!" Said Lyta. She started to walk to her room. As she walked, she saw Elika. 
"Hello, Lyta." Said Elika. 
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" Lyta caught a brain wave from Elika. "No! It can't be! You aren't..." 
"A Vorlon?" Said Elika. He sand a message to her mind. Lyta ran away from Elika. "Hey, Lyta, calm down." Said John to Lyta whom almost ran through him. 
"It's Delenn's Minbari friend..." 
"You mean Elika?" 
"He... He has a vorlon mind. He is going to... he is going... to..." She fainted.

  "She needs a lot of rest, but in 2-3 days she will be O.K." Said Steven to John. 
"Thanks, Steven." John and Steven walked out from the room. 
"What happened?" Fought Lyta. 
"Oh, no! I have to worn them!" Lyta tried to move, but she was paralyzed. 
"I can't move! The message Elika sand me... he paralyzed me! I can't see my entire friends die! I have to do something!" A nurse came through the door. 
"I can send her a message!" Lyta concentrated, and used all of her telepathic power to send the message. She could not send it. 
"That son of a bitch! He paralyzed my telepathic powers! I can't do anything!" Lyta was helpless. 

  "John, I am not your wife. I do not love you. I do not know you. Please, leave me alone!" said Delenn to John. 
"So who are you?" Asked John, in hope that Delenn will come to her senses. 
"I am Elika's wife." Answered Delenn.

  Elika was standing in front of the air-system. 
"What are you doing, Dear?" Asked Delenn. 
"I'm continuing the operation." Answered Elika, as he released the deadly gas to the air-system.

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 4 

  "Steven, I have 17 dead humans and minbaris that died in this day from some virus. What's happening?" Asked John. 
"I don't know. It's like chicken pops, but they die like flies, like it was something like... Like... Like something I never saw! I think we should put all the humans and minbaris away from all the aliens." Said Steven. 
"You're right. But who will run the station?" Asked John. 
"All I know, is that there is going to be a big mess, and human and minbaris will be in the middle of it." Said Steven. He left the room.

  "Hi Lyta. You tried to tell me something about Delenn's friend. Can you tell me what it was?" Asked John, in hope that Lyta will say something, anything that could help him. "Dammed! He is killing you all! He want's to kill you!" Screamed Lyta in her head. "Hear me! Hear me! John... It's hopeless. We are all going to die. I can feel the gas in the air. It has a sweet smell. If only I could have told them..." Lyta thought. 
"Told what? Lyta?" Said John. 
"He can hear me!" Lyta yelled in joy. 
"I'm going to bring a telepath. He will tell me what happened." Said John, as he walked from the room.

  "What shall we do now, my love?" Asked Delenn. 
"We shall wait, my dear Delenn. We shall wait, and then we will move to our rightful place in the galaxy!" Said Alika. Delenn smiled. Suddenly, she felt a wave of memories. "John! My... John! White... the White Star! I have to.. Have to.. No time... Help!" Said Delenn. 
"You're stronger then I thought. Good." Said Alika. He got closer to Delenn, and then, he whispered gently in her ear; 
"Forget." And so, Delenn forgot.

  "Hello, I'm john Sheridan. I'm Delenn's husband." 
"You are mistaking. I'm her husband for 13 years now." Answered Elika to john. They met in Elika's apartment after John asked if he could come by for a chat. 
"What do you want?" Asked John. Suddenly, Elika answered quietly, like he was trying to say a secret; 
"I... I want you, serving me. I want to live where I am god, and you are dead. I want to see you suffer, just like I did, when I heard about you and MY Delenn. I want to kill you, slowly, so I can watch you and say goodbye to the evil man, who took MY sweet, sweet Delenn from me. I am not dreaming. That day is coming, and you, and all of your kind, will be in MY hands, until I will kill you like you were a bug. That day is coming, Sheridan. Be sure of that."

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 5

  "I'm telling you, this guy is a mad man." 
"I'm sorry, John, but without proof I can't do anything to this guy." Said Garibaldi to John. 
"However, I will see every move he will make, and I'll let you know what he is doing." "Thanks. Have you saw Delenn?" 
"No. do you think she's in trouble?" 
"No, I know she's in one." Answered John.

  "Hello, Lyta. I am Ben. I'm here to help. I'm going to do a very low scan, to help you." Said the telepath that John brought to help Lyta. 
"Help me... Please... Help me..." Thought Lyta. She would cry if she could. The telepath raised his hand, and then he put it on Lyta's head. Suddenly, Lyta felt a horrible pain. "Noooooo!" She screamed. She heated the telepath in his hand, as she raised from her bed. 
"Who are you?" 
"He... He said... You're paralyzed! You..." 
"Who is he?" Lyta scanned him a very deep, painful scan. 
"Elika!" She said. 
"Now, lets see what should I do to you?" John ran to the room. 
"Lyta, are you all right?" 
"Yeah, I'm fine, but he will wet his bed for the next 50 years, and every time he will say or hear a word that starts with an E, he will think that he is a 2 year old baby. He tried to kill me, so I think you should arrest him." 

  "Delenn, I have something to show you." Said Elika. 
"Come with me." Delenn walked to Elika. 
"What is it, dear?" 
"I just received a message from the Vorlons. They are on the way here. They said that we will get everything we deserve for our work here." Suddenly, Delenn felt anxiety, and a horrible filling of guilt in her heart. 
"Yes, we will get what we deserve." She knew that it isn't a good thing.
  After Elika got asleep, she came out of their bed. She didn't knew what she was suppose to do. Then she fought about John. 
"I'll go see him." She fought to herself. And so she did. 
"Who is it?" Asked John, after the bell-ring wake him up. 
"It's me, Delenn. I have came to see you." 
"Delenn?! Come in, come in!" Answered Sheridan.
  After she entered the room, Delenn sat with John at his living room. 
"John. I do not remember you. I don't know who you are, but I have something to tell you. Some thing... Terrible to tell you." 
"Say it. Please, say it." 
"Well..." Delenn moaned. 
"Elika is... He is not an ordinary Minbari. He has been changed by the Vorlons. He is working with them... They are coming back, John, They are coming back..."

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 6

  "What does it mean, "They are coming back"? We won the war. They are gone!" "Please believe me John, they are coming back, and they want you. You shall be a puppet, and they will use you to conquer all the races. We can't stop them. Not this time..." Said Delenn. 
"Do you know when they're coming? And where?" 
"They are coming soon, very soon, and they are coming to Babylon 5, to destroy it." Delenn started to cry. 
"Don't cry, Delenn, don't." 
"I have to, I have to cry, for all the lives that will be gone, because of me." John hugged her in his strong arms. 
"Don't worry, Delenn, everything is going to be all right." And with these hopeful words, he gave her a kiss on her on her forehead. She hold him. She felt worm, safe, loved.

  "Lyta, can you tell me what happened? What's Elika doing?" Asked Garibaldi. 
"Yes. We have to kill him. Now. I need a strong gun. And I need you to coma along me. I won't shoot at him." 
"What? Way? Please tell me who this guy is, I'm not going to kill a Minbari without knowing way!" 
"All right. First of all, he isn't a Minbari, he is a Vorlon. Many Vorlons, actually, he is a great deal of Vorlons. About 200." 
"What?! What the hell are you talking about?" 
"Elika was dead, the Vorlons saved him, but they completely wipeout all of his personality, but they left his memories. Then they installed 200 Vorlons or so in his body. He is nothing but a shall now, but a very dangerous one. Because he's in a Minbari body, he is strong only as much as a Minbari, but he steel has his mental abilities." 
"When you say "He", you mean "They", right?" Asked Garibaldi, who was shocked by the last few minuets. 
"The Vorlons have the ability to place a part of their souls in to another body. Kosh did it in Sheridan, they did it with Elika. But, to guaranty the survival of their race, they shared their souls with it's other. There are no individuals in the Vorlons. They are all one." 
"Let's get him, them, who ever it is." Said Garibaldi. Lyta smiled. 
"Yes, let's go get them."

  "We have to destroy him. He wants to kill us all, and he is doing it. The decease you have on your station, it's from Elika, and I know where he hid the antibody. We must stop him!" Said Delenn. John looked at her. 
"Yes." Delenn burst with laugh. 
"What? What is it?" Asked John. 
"Here I am, having a conversation with you, but I do all the talking, and just keep going and going, and you just agree with what I say." John looked at her. 
"Yes."

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 7

  "Where's Delenn?" Asked Elika. 
"You may not believe it, but I do not know everything that goes around here in Babylon 5, and I don't care where's Delenn, I got better things to do." Answered Susan Ivanova. 
"Now we both know that's a lie. You know exactly where she is, don't you?" Ivanova frizzed for a second. 
"I can't answer you, I have a lot of work to do. Good day." 
"Why are you hiding Delenn from me? You sure know from her and Lyta about my telepathic abilities." 
"As you know, I am a commander. Every commander has a personal weapon. If you shall scan me, I have the weapon, and I will make you cry like a baby. Now, get of the bridge, please." Elika smiled. He left the bridge. John came from behind her. 
"Oh, John, you scared me." 
"Did he scanned you?" asked John. 
"No, he didn't, but he will. Not here, In me quarters maybe." 
"I will have your quarters guard." 
"No, I will face him alone. Then you and Delenn could steal the antibody." 
"Are you sure this ids a good idea?" 
"It's a bad, bad idea, but we Russians always had bad ideas with suicidal touch."

  "Lyta, how can we kill 200 Vorlons? You remember how hard it was to kill only one?" Said Garibaldi, as they sat to eat dinner and plan how to kill Elika. 
"That vorlon was in his body, but because they are in a Minbari body, they are venerable as the original Minbari." 
"How do you know all this stuff?" 
"In case you have forgotten, I was in their home world and I worked for them. You learn stuff." 
"This "Gold Sun" is wonderful. Did they thought you how to cook to?" 
"No, that's from a time when I was rebelling. Teenage years. It's from a Drazi ambassador. He was very good with his hands in the kitchen." Said Lyta they laughed. "I can have you arrested." Said Garibaldi. 
"I learned some other useful stuff from other races." 
"Like what?" 
"Like how to kiss the Drazi "Death Kiss"." 
"Yeah? What's that?" 
"This." She said, and kissed Garibaldi a deep kiss, with a telepathic massage of love, happiness, and hope.

  Ivanova entered her quarters. "Lights." She said. She was very tired from her day. In front of her was standing Elika, smiling. 
"Hello." He said.
"Leave now and I won't make you cry (hard)."
"No. You got something I want. Delenn. Where is she?"
"You are not getting her." She said.
"Now that's not a nice thing to think."
"Stop scanning me!!" Susan yelled.
"No. Where is she?"
"Right here, and I came to finish what you have started." Delenn said as she walked into the quarters with a gun in her hands, with a sight on Elika's head.
"You wouldn't do that to your love, won't you?"
"You are not Elika I knew. You are something else. Goodbye, Who ever the hell you are!" She said, and a shot that was so quit, and yet so loud burst out Delenn's gun, and with that fire, Elika ended his life. With his last breath, he cried, and said one, single word;
"Delenn…"
"Goodbye." She said, as she started to cry. She will cry for many more nights for what she just did. For her, he was her lover, and for some time, she did love him.

To be countinued....

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 8

  "Good morning!" Said Lyta to Garibaldi, who was in her bed. 
"Good morning." He said. He was steal tiered. 
"Sleep well?" She asked.
"Not really, I just fought about us, and about what happened. How did you slipped?"
"Wonderful! I haven't felt that way in months. So alive, full with endless joy…"
"So, what does what happened last night means?"
"I have wanted it seines I first saw you. I didn't know that until last night. Nobody has ever made me feel that way."
"Well, for me it was a total surprise. I didn't see it coming. By the way, the "Death Kiss" was great." Said Garibaldi.
"I'm glad I waited for so long." She said.
"Wait a minute! That… Last night was your first time?"
"Well, when you're in sic-core you don't have many friends, and when I was with Kosh, well, nobody wanted anything to do with me, so I just haven't had the chance."
Garibaldi waited. 
"You were very… What I mean is that you didn't act like…"
"I learned it from you. I scanned you gently to see what to do. By the way, what's the "3 spins clock ways" drill? It sounded pretty nice. Your first girlfriend tought you that' didn't she?" Lyta said.
"Who gave you permission to scan me?!" Yelled Garibaldi.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted for everything to be perfect!"
"You could have asked, you know. I have there some secrets, and I wanna know that I can feel safe, and apparently with you I can't!" Garibaldi said. He walked away from Lyta's quarters. 
"Wait, please! Wait…" She said. She started to cry.

  "John…" Delenn said. She hugged him. "What's the matter?" He asked.
"He is dead." John didn't know what to do. And so, he just stoop there.
"I… I have the antibody." She said as she gave him it. 
"The antibody, it's for Elika. The Elika I was knew. The Elika I loved, not the Elika I killed. Wanes he shot himself, he was gone, dead. I will pray for him." John hold her. Neither him nor Delenn knew what to do, so they both just stood there.

  Susan sat in the bar of the casino. She had some drinks. 
"Hit me." She said, for who-knows-how-many-times. She stopped counting after 13. 
"Hello, Commander Ivanova." Said that annoying voice that she knew.
"Hello, Londo. Can you please go?" She said.
"I am afraid not. I know a woman in need of help when I see one, and you need more then help." 
"I don't want your help. Go away!"
"No." He said.
"For the last time, GO AWAY!" She said to his face.
"Tell me what happened and I will help you." He said.
"I never knew you have suicidal wishes." She said with anger.
"I don't." She raised her hand, and gave him a fist in the face. He dropped on the floor.
"Commander?" Said a security guard to her.
"Commander, stop it!" He said. She gave him a kick in the stomach.

  Lyta wanted a drink. She didn't liked to drink, but she said to herself  
"What do I have to loose?" She walked out of her quarters to the bar in the casino. 
"Susan?" She said when she saw her after a fight with the all the people in the room.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Susan asked.
"What are you doing?"
"I was angry, they got on my nerves." 
"All the room?" 
"So now I can't hurt no one?"
"Look, I just got her for a drink. Wanna talk?"
"With you?"
"You see someone else who can talk, or stand?"
"You go a point."

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 9

  "You scanned him?! Don't you know no one likes to be scanned?" Said Susan.
"I just wanted it to be perfect. I meant no harm." Said Lyta.
"So, how was it? "Perfect"?" 
"You will just have to scan me…" 
"I think I know someone that will do it for free…" They both laugh. 
"Oh, dammt, I have to kill Elika, I totally forgot! Have to go, bye!" Said Lyta. Susan grabbed her hand.
"Wait up. Me and Delenn killed him last night."
"What?!" Lyta said.
"Yes. Last night, in my quarters."
"Well, I kinda hoped that I will be the one that kills him, but, no point of thinking about what could be."
"Well, you might get a second chance."
"What do you mean?" Asked Lyta.
"The Vorlons are coming back to Babylon 5. They will get here in 5-6 days." Whispered Susan.
"What? Who's coming to B5? I didn't got it…" Said Londo as he raised his head.
"Go back down there." Susan said, and gave him a fist. She knew she would have to ask for his forgiveness, but the Vorlons are coming and it's worth it.
"What are we going to do?"
"Well, we will evacuate in 48 hours, and we hope that we will survive. After that, who knows? We informed Earth Gov., and we will evacuate to Earth. We are setting up a bomb, that if necessary, we could bomb the station and take a few Vorlon ships with it."  
"I… Can I help with something?" Asked Lyta.
"No, but if.. When they come, we will need you to make contact with them. What do you think they are going to do?"
"Well, they will come here, and they don't like people that mess with them, so they will kill all the rangers and all of Babylon 5. They do not allow traitors to live, so I will die in a painful way, the Shadows will come and fight the Vorlons and they will kill everyone in the process. We have to make them fear, so they won't come here again." 
"Easy say then done." Said Susan.
"We need help."
"Hey, oh yeah! When the Shadows left the galaxy, they left their helpers, and they want to be masters now, and with the Vorlons, they can't do that. Do you think that they will help us?"
"Maybe, but there's no time. We don't know where to fined them, and we need all the ships and people we can have."
"You're right, but we have to try. I'll contact Earth, and they will send a ship for the Shadow helpers." Said Susan. Lyta nodded.
"I have to go. When ever you need me, I'll be there." Said Lyta. She stood up.
"I enjoyed this conversation. Goodbye." Answered Susan.
"Stand up, Londo. You need to shape up." She said, as she helped him get up.

  Delenn woke-up. She heard footsteps. 
"Who's there?" She asked. As an Answer, Lorien came out of the shadows.
"It's me."

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 10

  Even that Delenn burley remembered anything, she remembered Lorien. 
"It's you, isn't? It's really you…"
"It's me." He said.
"What are you doing here?"
"I have came to help. The Vorlons are coming, you know. They do not respect me sense the end of the war." Suddenly, Delenn remembered him, and everything that happened.
"No! No, please, it's not true! NO!!!" She screamed. The screams woke John, who was in the next room. 
"Delenn, what happ… Lorien???!!!" He said. Delenn ran into his arms.
"Tell me it's not true… Please, John, tell me!"
"Tell you what?" Asked John.
"Your life… You… You will die in 20 years?"
"I think that now she remembers me, and what happened. She's in shock." Said Lorien. John holed Delenn.
"Delenn, don't cry. Please, don't." He said.
"Why? Why did you have to go? Why…"
"Delenn, listen to me. What happened, happened. If we don't do something now, we all are going to die. Listen to me, Delenn." Delenn rise her head. She looked at his eyes. Suddenly, she saw a spark in his eyes. It was a spark of love. She started to remember. She remembered him, the Shadows, the Vorlons, Babylon 5, Lennir, Everything. She remembered. All of a sudden, she remembered John. She felt the love that she has for him. She fell.
"Delenn, are you all right?" Asked John. Delenn stood up.
"For the first time in a long time, I can say yes, John." And the great love that she has forgotten for so much time came back, at last. Delenn kissed John. She hold him in her arm. She didn't want to let go, ever.

  Michael walked to the bar. He used to be an alcoholic, but in a time like this, who cares? As he walked, he saw something. He didn't know what it was. Dark. He was in a dark room. He couldn't see anything. He looked at his hand. It… It was black, like a Shadow black. He started to remember.
  A flash. He was in a square room. He had a hard time breathing. Someone opened a door. He suddenly realized that he wasn't the only one in the room. Maybe 20 people shared the room with him. The one who opened the door went out. A scream. He didn't come back. Everybody got away from the door… A flash.
He was in the hallway now. He looked around him. Lyta stood in front of him.
"Michael, are you ok?" Asked Lyta. Garibaldi felt dicey. He passed out.

  Lorien stood there, waiting for John and Delenn. He knew what must be done, and he accepted his fate. His clock is heading every day more to tock, then to tick. In a few days, he will be gone, and they will be no more tick, and no more tock. Just death. 
"Can we go on? We don't have much time, you know." He said.
"Yes. What are you doing here?" Asked John.
"When the Vorlons and the Shadows reached the other first-ones, they started to fight itch-other. The first-ones, who were, after the war, more powerful then the Vorlons and the Shadows, have dissuaded not to let the fight to continue, banish the Vorlons away, and without any place to go, they dissuaded to come here, and complete what they have started in the war."
"It's hard to think about something more powerful then the Vorlons and the Shadows." Said Delenn.
"So, what can we do?" Asked John.
"That is why I'm here. We have to show the Vorlons our power. We have to make them fear us. They have 25 ships. 10 will come here. The only solution is to destroy those ships. I will be in the station when they arrive, and I will sabotage the main reactor, and with my power I will make the explosion about 25 times more powerful. The Vorlons won't make any more attempts to control you." Answer Lorien.
"But… But you will have to die…" Said Delenn.
"Yes." 

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 11

  "But why?" Asked John.
"It is fate's way. I shell die in a few days, because of that. I have lived more than anything in this universe, but everything ends. My life ends now. It's fate. I must fallow its way, into life, or death. I have died many times, and I survived. But it is time. My time is long gone. Now, it is your time. Fate only channels the first-ones, because they are the only-ones old enough to grab it. You are on your on. You are the fate of tomorrow." He said. They looked at him. "You have 48 hours to get out of this sector. You must evacuate the sector. It will all be destroyed. I shall go into the station, to understand it. Please don't interfere. Goodbye." He said. He vanished into the wall.

  "What the hell?!" Yelled the man on the bridge. Lights were flashing all over the board.
"48 hours for main core failure. Evacuate Babylon 5." John used his screen-communicator.
"This is Captain John Sheridan. Please take some of your possession, and go to the nearest shuttle. It will take you to our White-Star ships, and it will take you to earth. Please do not panic, everything is under control, but this is not a drill." 
"Don't you think that we should inform the White-Star ships first?" Asked Delenn.
"You have a point. I will send then a message. We have time. Did you unpacked your things from your gurney with Elika?"
"No, they are steel packed."
"Good. Can you help me?"
"Sure." She said.

  Lyta walked to the bridge. 
"Hi, I heard what happened. Do you need any help?" She said to Susan, which ran in the second that she heard the warning.
"Yeah. Can you tell us where are they, maybe slow them down a little bit?" She answered.
"It will take a lot of my powers, but I'll try." She said. She looked trough the window. Her eyes became all black. Blood started to drip out of her eyes.
"They are 3 days away… There is nothing I can do…"
"Thank you. Hey, you," She said to a guy who was close to her. "Get this woman to sick bay. She must be take cared like she was the president."
"Ok." He answered. He took Lyta in his arms.

  Garibaldi walked. A man ran into him.
"Hey, what's the rush?" Garibaldi asked.
"The station is going to blow up in 48 hours, they're evacuating the station!" The man said. Garibaldi ran to the Security Bridge.
"Zack, what the hell is going on?" He asked.
"The Vorlons are coming in 3 days, we will blow up the station to kill them, we are evacuating everybody to the White-Star ships, and it will take them to Earth."
"Ok, let's get busy!" Garibaldi said, as he sat down in his chair.

  "Move this man to the shuttle, he's ok to go, hey, you, give him some Antchepition, we don't want him banging his head to the shuttle's wall… He needs stitches. No, don't, give him a little bit of this…" Said Steve. He ran everywhere, to make sure that all of his patients will be safe on the first shuttle.
"I need more men! Dammit!" He yelled in anger.

  "Ok, you, come sit here, you, go to shuttle number 3. Hey, do not push! We have enough room. Don't push!" Yelled the security man. All the people tried to get in to the shuttles.
"We have riots in Bay 12, 15 and 17." Said Susan to Delenn and John, who came a few seconds ago.
"I want every security guard in the station, who I not on helping the evacuation, there. We can't allow any trouble. Not now." John said. Susan looked at John.
"John, what about the great machine?" She said.
"We can't do anything about it. I will go there, to bring everyone." Said Delenn.
"No, I'll go." Susan said. John looked at her.
"Are you sure?" 
"Yes."

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ part 12

  Susan landed on the on the great machine site. She walked to the machine. She 
walked to Dral.
"No." someone said behind her. She turned around.
"Zathras, we have to go. The howl sector is going to blow."
"No."
"But… But you will die!" Susan said.
"Zathras have to die with great machine. Zathras has a lot of work. Must do many things. Go."
"But don't you want to live?"
"Zathras want to live, but can't. Zathras's fate is the same as great machine fate. Machine die, Zathras die. So is Dral."
"Why?"
"Zathras work with great machine, Zathras is great machine. Zathras have work. Go now." Susan tried to talk with him, but after 3 minuets, she got a massage.
"Yes, what is it?" She asked.
"Susan, this is Delenn. We have riots all over the station. You must come back." Said Delenn. Susan ran to the shuttle. 
  
  She got there after 40 minuets. As she came, she saw bodies of dead Humans, Minbaries, Drazis, and many more. They died from the running crowed. She looked for any survivors. Out of 23 man, only 6 survived. She called some men to take them to med.-lab. Then she walked to the bridge.
  "John, what happened?" She asked John, with his arm blooding.
"I tried to talk with them. They wouldn't listen." He said. Delenn came.
"We are calling for the rangers. They are on their way here." Delenn said. 
"Good. Computer, please make a list of all who are in the riots."
"Why do you need it?" Susan asked.
"With the riots, we can't send everyone. Those that are in the riots are not in my first priority. We have to make a choice. I made mine." John said. Delenn didn't fought that John will have to abandon someone here, she dice-agreed, but she knew that he is right. No-body spoke for a minuet. 
"What abut the ambassadors?" Asked Susan.
"The next shuttle is theirs." John said.
"Do you think that's a good idea, with G'Kar and Londo?" Delenn asked.
"Londo won't be a problem. He won't say a word." Susan said.
"Why?" John asked.
"Well, I was in a bar, and he got on my nerves. So I… Hit him… He can't say anything."
"In any other time I would had kicked your butt all the way to mars, but now, I can't really blame you." John said. They all laughed. That was the last laugh ever heard on Babylon 5.

  "Ok, send 20 people to bay 16, and 30 to 29." Said Garibaldi. He was tiered. So tiered… No time for rest… Have to work… 
  A flash. He was in the dark room. He heard a scream. A Shadow scream. He saw a mirror. He looked into it. Nothing. Nothing was there. Black… They took him away from the people. Sci-cops. He was in a room… When he was asleep, he heard screams. Nothing but screams. He wanted to end it. End it all. He saw them in the night. Thinking if he is good enough. They were black, always black. Shadow black.
  He crashed. Someone took him to med.-lab. 
  Everything was black…

  "Ok, are all the patients on the shuttles?" Asked Steven.
"Yes." A man answered. Steven entered the shuttle. 
"There is a shuttle over there!!" Yelled some one. About 100 people ran to the shuttle. Steven had no choice. He walked out of the shuttle.
"This is the med.-lab shuttle, you can't go in. there's a lot of other shuttles for you right over ther…" 
"Shut up! They are to slow. We are all going to die! Let us in!"
"No!" Someone throw a can to his face. They started throwing everything they had in their hands. He ran out of the bay. The shuttle left Babylon 5, but his aching voice was heard all over the station. He was dying.

  "We have 30 death in the riots." Susan said to John Sheridan. He was thinking over the past hour. 
"Say to security to… To start using lethal force, if they have to." John said.
"Are you sure?" Asked Lyta.
"Dammit, I'm not sure! All I know is that we got only 12 hours to evacuate the station, or we will die. No, I'm not sure, but we don't have a choice." Susan waited. She send the massage.
"Caption, do you hear something?" Lyta asked.
"No.."
"It's a scream… Someone is dying."
"Can you tell me who is it?"
"It's…" She considered. "It's Steven…"
"Steven? Isn't him on the med.-lab shuttle?" Susan said.
"It's him."
"Activate tracing system." John said.
"He is near bay 2." Susan said.
"Send there security. Tell them to send him to med.-lab." John said.

Babylon 5; Fate's way \ part 13

  Only 2 hours to go. We have evacuated everyone on Babylon 5, except the crew and 50 people from the riots. 
  Steven is badly hurt. The doctor think that he may has only a day, maybe two.
  Marcus is On the White-Star. He was in Minbar, so he didn't know what happened until we called all the Rangers. His first question was "What are we going to do?" His second was about Susan's safety. I think he likes her. I think he likes her a lot.
  Delenn is thinking. She is confused. I want my Delenn back. I want myself back.
  I sometimes wonder what it would be like, if I never left home. But I had a job to do. This one. That's my job. That's my fate. The more I think about it, the more what Lorien said makes sense. 
  Susan is up in her neck with work. She doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, just work. I'm afraid she can collapse at any moment. 
  Lannir is talking with Minbar. He's taking care of all the things Delenn should. He will be remembered for that.
  All the ambassadors left to their home world. Londo was screaming about his broken arm. I wanted to brake his other arm at the time…
  I'm just here, trying to get everybody out of this mess alive. I'm not sure I will.
John was thinking as he walked his last walk in the station. He will miss this station. I will build another… No, I won't. The time has passed for the Babylon station. This was the last.
  "John!" Delenn said. She ran to him.
"Delenn?" John said. "You should be on the White-Star. Go, you can still make it!" He said.
"No, I will stay here with you. This was a magical moment. The last moment of Babylon5… No, my place is here, with you." She hold him. They walked to a window.
"What the hell?!" John yelled. The Jumpgate opened. Ten Vorlon ships cam trough the gate. 
"They must have heard Lyta's telepathic scan…. Ran John, to the White-Star!" Delenn said. They ran. When they got there, everything was ready. They saw the ships. They entered the White-Star. Marcus, Susan, Garibaldi, Lyta and Lannir were there.
"Lannir, what are you doing here?!" Delenn asked.
"Where ever you go, I go." He answered. He loved her. He knew her heart belongs to John. The next best thing is to be by her side, to the death. And so he was.
"Where's Steven?" John asked Garibaldi.
"Resting."
"He got himself one hell of a time to rest." John said. He sat at the Captain's chair.
"Get us out of here!" He yelled. The ship started to move. After five minutes it got out.
"Activate jump engines!" Said Delenn. One of the Vorlon Ships fired at them. 
"They shot out engines, we can't move. What to do?" Marcus said. Everyone knew, that this means death. Everyone, but Delenn…
"John, come take a look at this…"She said.
"What is i…" For a moment, his heart stopped biting. A light… A beautiful light serenaded the ship.
"What is it?" Asked Susan.
"It is your fate." Said Lorien, whom came behind them.
"My fate is to save you, the Vorlons fate is to die, your fate is to live. This is your fate, with the Vorlons and mine. Goodbye. I have to do my fate now." He said, as he disappeared from their eyes forever. The light blinded them for a second, and they found themselves far from there, watching the explosion, as it ended the last Babylon station. They all cried at their hearts at this moment. It was their home. Their past. Now the future is all that is left. The future is all they got.

Babylon 5; Fate's Way \ The End

  Steven died from the Vorlon shot. He was buried in space, to walk their, in an ever lasting "Walkabout". 
  Susan was sent to command a new ship, named "Alexander". She brought honor to Earth.
  Marcus dated Susan for quite a time. He moved to Minbar, to command the Rangers. Garibaldi left, and started to walk. We never heard from him again. 
  Londo and G'Kar returned to their home-worlds, and became rulers.
  Lannir joined the gray council he leaded the Minbari people to a new age of peace and happiness.
  Lyta was ok for a couple of month, but one day, she just disappeared. 
  Delenn and I returned to Earth, and leaded it. After 3 years, our son, David was born.  
  We never heard about the first-ones after that day. 
  We are the masters of our own fate. Never forget that. Never give up, because we are all the same things. We are all alive. We are all stardust. We are all free. I will never forget that. Never.
