Times

by Billy and Wenche
 
  Ensign Billy stood on the promenade of Space Colony 4, looking out into the vast expanse of space before him. He had been only fourteen years old when a terrorist group named the T'Angela attacked his home town. A young girl and few other children had been their victims. The girl was also fourteen, she had had blond hair and beautiful green eyes. It was all coming back to him.
Her name was Wenche, he had loved her since they were very young. Together, they dreamed about someday reaching the stars.
Suddenly he turned around. He gasped - she looked almost like Wenche. The girl turned around looking at someone, she waved with her hand to someone, Billy noticed that it was to a mysterious figure, a man.
He was about to faint, his memories came back.
Was he going mad?
Was it a clone of her? Someone who looked like her, there was something mysterious about that girl, even if she wasn't Wenche, she believed she was. The mysterious figure was very tall and thin but Billy could not see his face because it was darkened by a cloak-like garment. 
There was something about him that Billy recognised, but he could not remember what and where from.
He tried to remember.
Wenche approached the mysterious figure. Billy heard him say, "The bar, 16:00 hours." Wenche nodded and walked off into the distance.
Billy tried to follow her but he lost her in the crowd. He was now certain that she was Wenche. He decided that he would go to the bar at 16:00 hours and see what was going on.
Not much happened at the bar. They ate and Wenche left. The figure followed her away, something was up. Billy followed the man.
And Billy's guesses were right, the man was following her.
The man pressed the button on her quarters and Wenche came out. "What is it?" Wenche said with a almost whining voice. "We are heading for DS9," the man said and grabbed Wenche hard on her arm.
"OK! OK! I`m coming,"she whined again. They went into Wenche's quarters.
"What's going on?" Billy asked himself. Then he had an idea how to find out.
Someone from the crew was needed to go to DS9, and Billy went to the captain and got the permission to leave. "Now I am going to find out," Billy said to himself.
They all boarded the shuttlecraft. Billy sat behind Wenche and her accomplice. They did not say anything for ages and then the man said, "We'll get Kira, and teach her not to mess with the T'Angela."
Billy knew him now, he was the leader of the T'Angela who took Wenche, the man Billy had hated all of his life.
"She will pay," added Wenche. Billy was confused. Why was Wenche a member of the T'Angela? Why was she working for the man who took her? What did Kira do to the T'Angela?
Billy knew that he had to do something, but what?
When they arrived at DS9, Billy was met by Kira. "Ma`am, nice to meet you," Billy said, he was nervous.
As he was helping Odo he saw Wenche and the man walking along the promenade, they didn't seem like friends though. They seemed like they were arguing. "Something on your mind?" Odo asked Billy.
"NNNNothing sir," Billy lied. But Odo had seen how Billy looked at Wenche.
"Hmmmm," Odo said to himself. Something was definately going on and Odo knew that. Odo decided to have a little talk with Billy. "Tell me what's going on, Billy," Odo ordered.
"It's a long story," replied Billy.
"Go on."
"Well, when I was 14, the T'Angela took my girl Wenche. That was her, and it seems that she is now a member. They have come here to get Kira, to make her pay for something, but I don't know what," stated Billy.
"I see." Odo tapped his communicator, "send a security team to protect Kira."
"Yes sir," it replied.
"Billy, here's a phaser, go and guard shuttle bay 2."
"Why, sir?" Billy asked.
"Kira leaves in one hour for Bajor, I think that's when they plan to attack her."

Billy arrived at the shuttle bay and he saw people leaving the shuttle which would soon leave for Bajor. He set his phaser to stun, stood alert and waited for the Major.
"What's he doing here?" The man grabbed Wenche by the arm. "Let me go you hear!" Wenche pushed him away, but he got a grip on her arm again. "Is Kira coming?" the man asked. "Yes she is," Wenche hissed at him. The man hit Wenche on her face and whispered, "don`t hiss at me or you`ll be next." She tried to get him off her, but again she failed to get him off. The man gasped as he saw the security around Kira. "You warned them." The man held the phaser on her.
Billy pulled out his phaser and hid it by his side so that the man could not see it and quietly alerted Odo. 

The man moved into the shuttle and sat down at the helm. There was nothing anyone could do. Billy crept into the shuttle as the doors closed and hid behind the passenger seats. The shuttle launched.
"We are being hailed by Sisko," said Wenche.
"Ignore him,"ordered the man.
Billy stepped out from his hiding place, pointed his phaser at the man, set it on heavy stun and said, "turn around now."
The man pushed Wenche against the wall and pointed his disruptor at her head. He said, "put the phaser down." Billy put down his phaser and walked towards Wenche. She got up and the man shot Billy, he was stunned.  Then suddenly Odo rose from the floor between Billy and the man.
"Turn around," ordered Odo. Billy opened his eyes to see the terrified look on Odo's face when the man pulled out a mysterious weapon. He shot Odo with it and Odo was sucked into it.
"Mission accomplished," stated the man to the man on the other end of the communications terminal, "we have the shape shifter."
Wenche laughed at Billy. "Pathetic." The man shot Billy again. He was out cold.

Billy woke up with a very sore head. He was in an enormous hall full of people.
In the meantime Wenche was in the cell were Odo was. Odo looked up shocked. "I should have known," he said, and added with a almost half shocked sarcastic voice, "I was under the impression you died." She leant against the cell and said, "I`m not dead, Odo, you better get used to it."
Suddenly she turned around. There was a fight in the hall, Billy had gotten lose, and the man was on the way to her. "We better get out of here," Wenche yelled at the man. "I don`t think so, dear." The man looked at Wenche. Suddenly he grabbed the phaser, and phasered Wenche, Wenche fell down to the floor, dead.
"Now it`s your turn." The man pointed the phaser at Odo, but Billy phasered the man before he could do anything.
Billy let Odo out. "Thanks," Odo said.
Billy bent down to the man, but shook his head, the man was dead.
Wenche was dead too, and the terrorists were all taken prisoner.
"Why did she do it, what went on in her head," Billy whispered to himself, sitting on the Defiant.
"She must have faked her death so that nobody would suspect her, I checked the star fleet files, she matched the description of Kasydel Jera," Kira said.
"Who was the man? "Billy asked.
"The man was identified as the terrorist group leader, and her lover," Kira said.
"Oh my god," Billy said, and added, "I guess that was the end for them."
"Indeed it was," added Kira.
