The Alpha Quadrant Races (Including Cardassians) find themselves manipulated by the Vorlons and Shadows. A Shadow war breaks out. Seeing as the Alpha Quadrant races are so much more powerful than Babylon 5 races, how would a Shadow War pan out?
Edit-
Federation prominent individuals (Sisko, and Picard) find out about the Shadows and Vorlons
and thus the AQ races begin to fight back.

Re: Alpha Quadrant Races v.s First Ones (Babylon 5)
This sounds like the prologue section of A Thin Veneer. Its a matter of biowank vs technobabble for the most part. On the shadow/vorlon side you have at the highest levels terror weapons that destroy worlds.(although destroy worlds is a bit excessive of a term for the shadow death cloud render lifeless would be better)
On the AQ side their best non "tech of the week" weapon would be quantum torpedo spamming. Since a shadow battlecrab was destroyed or at least severely damaged by a 500 MT fusion bomb I would think that destroying a shadow or vorlon ship isn't out of the range of a ST ship, or at least a small group of AQ ships.
The Shadow "Fuck you" death ray would probably be quite effective considering they have been seen cutting unshielded ships clean in half. The vorlon equivalent to the "fuck you" death ray seems to be equaly as powerful or at least in the same range as the shadow weapon given that seems to pop ships just as well.
Given that the weapons of both sides can likely harm each other just fine it stands to reason that it would come down to a numbers game for the various groups. Who runs out of usable ships and worlds first as it were.

You will see the tears of time.
