Her Duty Begins

The Rescue

The screaming continued as Juliet was still being taken from her cell. The creature who had her threw her to the ground and bared its sharp teeth. "How dare you try to fool us!" He shouted. Juliet was actually afraid now. She was letting her weakness show, she covered her face with her hands. "What... What're you going to do?" She questioned, her green eyes fixing on the creature who could possibly kill her. A few metres away there stood the Captain, James Kirk and Commander Spock sticking to the darkness and they tried to figure out a plan to get her to safety. But rather suddenly there was the sound of a bird that was native to that world, Spock's eyes widened, he recognised that sound. It wasn't a bird. It was Oliver.

Jim recognised it too. "What the heck is he doing?" He whispered. Spock raised an eyebrow. "I believe it's called a distraction" he responded in the same whisper. The creature raised an eyebrow, looking to the two others in the room, the creatures of course nobody had taken notice of Spock nor James. "Find whatever is making that noise!" He ordered. The two took off in an instant. It didn't take long for them to find Oliver but as soon as they moved and went to attack him he managed to knock one out and twist another's arm. "Take me to your friend or I'll break it" he threatened, not showing the creature his face. If they saw him they'd know. The creature stood to his feet and began walking back to the cell, Oliver following close behind.

The tall creature with its spiky textured skin walked in slowly. "So you took care of-" he started but soon he noticed Oliver and a shriek of horror came from his mouth. "T-The prophecy.. It's starting!" He sounded afraid. Oliver tilted his head to the side, sending a wink Spock's way. "Better get running then", he smirked, Spock however was quick to move and the creature who had hurt Juliet was soon succumbed to Spock's signature move, being knocked out by a pinch of the neck, the creature then fell to the ground. Oliver turned his head even though he didn't know where to look. "However you are, you better run because I will make that prophecy true and you will regret taking my mother. This war of sixty years will end! I am certain of that!" He declared.

The creature also full of fear took off. Juliet tilted her head to the side. "Oliver? My baby? Is that you?" The weak voice of Juliet sounded, she was only weak because of the lack of air on the planet. Jim cleared his throat. "You might not want to-" he was soon interrupted by the sound of Spock holding his arm with his left hand. "Captain. Allow this" he stated. Jim nodded. Juliet got to her feet and moved towards Oliver, stopping in front of him and kneeling down so she was at his level, like she used to be all those years ago. "Why do you have that on your face my boy?" She asked. Oliver raised his hands and he placed his small hands upon her cheeks, gasping slightly. "You're... You're real. How can you be real? I saw you die. I... How?" He questioned, his tone obviously surprised.

Juliet had small tears coming down her cheeks, she had told herself time and time again that she wouldn't cry when she saw Oliver again but alas she couldn't help it. "That... That was all you. You gave Isabella something and she just kept speaking to it and it worked for her. It brought me back" she stated. Oliver could feel the tears running past his hands and he knew then that she was crying. "Oliver don't you dare!" Jim started but Oliver merely ignored him. Spock too knew what Oliver was planning and disagreed with his soon to be actions. "Oliver. This is highly illogical. It'll take longer for you to heal!" The half Vulcan sounded. "I don't care! I'm not allowing her to be sad! I'm just not!" He shouted stubbornly.

Jim placed a hand on his forehead. "Bones is going to be so mad" he muttered. Spock inhaled slowly. "Speaking of which, something tells me Oliver did something. Best to ask someone to go to the Medical Bay, Captain" he stated. Jim nodded his head and pulled out his communicator. "Kirk to Enterprise. Someone needs to go the the Medical Bay to see if anything has occurred there. Kirk out" he spoke through the communicator before putting it away. Oliver inhaled slowly. "Please don't scream or anything, Mum." He told her, moving his hands away and removing the blindfold from his blue eyes, his eyelids were completely puffy and were closed. The skin around his eyes was blue and purple. It was not a normal sight not at all.

"I can't see you. What's your face doing?" He asked. Juliet after a moment of staring at Oliver in utter shock had cleared her throat. "Um... Uh... Oliver. How did this um... Happen?" She asked. Oliver inhaled slowly. "The ship was going down because of a crystal in space, it took energy. So I looked at it and took the energy into myself. The ship was saved but it blinded me. Just for awhile." He stated, placing the blindfold back over his eyes tying the back of it quite carefully before he placed his hand upon Juliet's. "I'm glad you're back. I don't like being alone with my thoughts" he stated with a warm smile. Suddenly a voice came down Jim's communicator which caught Spock's attention more than none. "Bones and Faith were found in the Medical Bay knocked out" the voice sounded.

Spock's eyes narrowed. "Oliver Rivre Harkness!" He seemed to shout, Oliver hadn't heard Spock shout before so he knew he was in trouble. Oliver turned his head, listening to the voice. "You heard didn't you?" He responded his tone calm despite his actions. Spock stepped towards Oliver and folded his arms across his chest. "What did you think you were doing?" He questioned, clearly he didn't want excuses. Oliver sighed. "I was saving your daughter from possible danger, Spock", he answered. Spock huffed before he shook his head. "You broke the promise" he stated. Oliver brought his hand to his forehead. "Crap. I didn't have a choice Spock" he stated. Spock huffed again. "Yes you did. You could've allowed us to retrieve your mother" he disagreed.

Oliver sighed. "No you don't understand. You're in a battle-zone and if they saw you you'd be their prisoners so no. I didn't have a choice" he replied. Spock huffed again and began to pace back and forth as he tried to calm himself down. Juliet turned her head from Spock to Oliver. "Wait they said Prophecy. We're in a battlezone and you said you're the one who completes the prophecy. Oliver. Are you leaving me?" She asked. Oliver took his hand away before he nodded. "Yeah... Sorry. Again. Not much of a choice" he stated. "Spock. I know you're mad but I need you to do something for me, take care of my mother while I'm trying to end a war would you?" He asked. Jim inhaled slowly. "He will. Just go." He commented. Juliet wrapped her arms around Oliver and hugged him tightly.

"Come back to me safe. Please. I need that" she whispered to him letting him go soon enough. Oliver placed a hand on her's before he soon took off, vanishing from sight. Juliet sighed, before she eventfully felt no more feeling in her legs and fell. Spock was the first to catch her. Jim immediately pulled out his communicator. "Beam us up Scotty" he ordered. Jim knew they'd be questioned about Oliver's whereabouts once they arrived. It was obvious. Soon a few yellow circles surrounded Spock, Juliet and Jim, they were spiralling up and down the three as they were being transported the enterprise. First thing was first once they arrived, Juliet would need to be taken care of.
