Afterglow

Prologue

Flashes of the fight still play in Bellatrix's mind. It was supposed to be a "simple" mission.

It was a group of eight. Three security members, two commanders, one sciencist, one support, and finally one medical: Bellatrix Astra.

She knew them all very well.. Each one was like a friend to her. So fitting that this group would be chosen for this mission.

The mission: Capture the madman, the defect, Khan Noonien Singh. However, the Captain failed to mention that the being they were after was more stronger, faster, and, smarter then all eight members of the Starfleet who were sent after him.

As expected, it all went wrong. Bellatrix could still hear the screams of suprise, of pain, and calling out for the others.

She could remember running away. Randomly firing the phaser at nothing, hoping to maybe maimed the thing that took her friends lives away. But she failed to notice an oncoming trap. Her foot slipped into the trap, knocking her down into the dirt. The phaser went sliding on the ground.

Bellatrix remembered trying her best to get the weapon but a boot stepped on her hand.

"A boot? But.. Why would a.."

She looked up and saw the owner of the boot was a cloaked figure. It wasn't a monster or creature they were after.. But a human.

She could see the outline of the person's face. Their eyes, a glowing electric blue. A pain hit the back of her head.. Those eyes were the last thing she saw as her vision faded into darkness.
