UPDATE - BATTLESTAR GALACTICA FAN FICTION

BATTLESTAR: VARIANT 1 is fan fiction which continues the story from where we left off in the Revelations episode and ignores the rest of the terrible Season 4 and the awful ending. [Updated 1-25-10 see below]

After the lame "god did it" angels-on-my-Battlestar close to the series, my version is needed now more than ever. My version is science fiction and I created this for the true fans of the show since I had a sneaking suspicion since the end of Season 2 and the announcement there would be no Season 5 that an alternate would be needed to satisfy the fan disappointment. I apologize for only having 2 1/2 stories done and just the teasers only for the others - you know, work and other commitments ... but I will finish them all for those who want to see how this version turns out.

Not Earth but Centauri. Roslin is the Fifth. Cavil seeks to kill them all. Lord Iblis returns. Good battles evil. The Lords of Kobol are made real. The fleet is torn asunder. The virus which kills the Cylons is pivotal to who makes it to Earth and who doesn't. What the Cylon perception of the repeating cycles of time means. Earth at last, where new 'gods' are born.

Okay, for those of you who like spoilers and can't wait until I finally finish this opus (since I've kinda lost interest in doing the chore of writing out the whole eps) I've layed it out in nutshell form since I've known the whole story since I thought jt up in the mid-season break during Season 4. Highlight from here: Baltar/Lord Iblis rallies supporters among the fleet and breaks up the fleet as Cavil (along with the 4s and 5s in the giant amalgamated Base Ship) closes in. The humans divide, some not believing that there is an Earth and willing to follow one of Lords of Kobol in Iblis. The other LoK remain hidden, not wanting to reveal their identity to the fleet until they reconcile with Cavil and get to Earth. It doesn't work out that way. Cavil becomes aware of Iblis's return and is outraged - there were bitter enemies when they were gods on Kobol. Cavil wants more than ever to exterminate the humans and to consolodate his power among the LoK by killing Iblis. The humans devolve to civil war - vessels fire upon each other, crews split, hand-to-hand combat, many lives and ships are lost - Adama and the good LoK despair. The end is near and lovers embrace when they can for what they fear may be the last time. Adama and Roslin/Diana, Kara and Lee ... Cavil follows the remainder of the battling fleet to the Sol star system (home of Earth) and at the asteroid belt between Mars and Earth the final battle is waged. Those Cylons/LoK who joined with humans in the sexual act have taken protection from the virus so deadly to the cylons. The home of this virus is in the asteroid belt. Cavil's monstrous new huge vessel engages the remainder of the human fleet - the good side, the Adama side allied with the LoK and a wicked fight ensues. Carnage, destruction as the battle drifts deeper into the asteroid field - where the virus kicks in and all the Cylons not protected by having engaged in sex with a human (which transfers anti-bodies that protect them) die. The fight is over, perhaps 1500 humans and just the LoK (one each of the 12 models) survive. In the Galactica and a few other vessels them make their way to Earth and do recon. None of the ships will last long and they must descend to the planet below. They discover Earth around 1500 B.C., the Late Bronze Age, and no evidence of the 13th Tribe can be found ... it is thought they assimilated long ago. Various human populations with distinct cultures are recon'd and the remaining humans descend to Japan, Africa, Europe, North America and all landmasses and major islands on the globe to start life anew. The Lords of Kobol and our major surviving characters choose Crete and Santorini. The Final Hybrid is lain to rest in a pond in what will become England - she becomes the Lady of the Lake and fuses with the nature around her. Adama ends the story with his visit to the Oracle at Delphi, where he hears the words which give meaning to this journey and the story of man and Gods.
