New To Starfleet {Star Trek}

Chapter 9

Krystine's POV

The aliens dragged Chekov and I all the way to the bridge. They let go of our arms and we stepped back. The rest of them should be here any moment now. One of the aliens walked up to Chekov and kicked him right in the chest. I could see the wind knocked out of him and he collapsed to the floor, trying to catch his breath. Chekov looked up at the alien, in which the alien sent his foot flying right into the side of his face. I could see a cut on his cheek, and a small amount of blood dripping from it. I let out a yell began to make my way over to the alien to attack, but the other one stopped me.

He then set his gun to stun and pointed it at me. He pulled the trigger and I was hit with a ball of light. I could already see my vision blurring, then everything went black. I collapsed on the floor, going completely unconscious.

Kirk's POV

Bones and I met up with Spock and Scotty, and we were about 10 seconds away from the bridge. We heard a yell, then a thud on the floor. I picked up the pace, with the others following me. As soon as we entered the bridge, there were two aliens, Krystine was unconscious on the floor, with Chekov who looked like he just got out of a bar fight. Suddenly the four other aliens came darting into the bridge. So that was all the muffled speech on the communicator. Chekov had no choice but to lead us here. I looked at all six of the aliens. "What do you want?" I asked crossing my arms.

"The device you stole from Krall." The one responded.

I looked and saw that Chekov was using his arms to crawl over to Krystine.

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that was left in the Enterprise. You kind of destroyed it." I said sternly.

"That device is important to you, you would've taken it with you in your evacuation." The other said.

"I was a little occupied during that to grab it."

"I can see where your daughter gets her stubbornness from."

"Damn right. More like, you can see where her father gets his stubbornness from." Bones said from behind me. Himself and Scotty started laughing. Spock let out a slight chuckle. I whipped my head around looking at Bones, and smirked while raising an eyebrow.

I turned back to see that Chekov had stood up and was slowly pulling his phaser from his belt. I placed my hand near mine, and the others behind me followed. Chekov pulled the trigger and one of the aliens fell. In one quick movement I pulled mine from my belt and shot. Bones shot another one, followed by Spock and Scotty. I shot the last one standing. Bones let out a sigh.

"You just had to say that, didn't you?" I asked Bones sarcastically.

"Yup." He replied chuckling.

"Captain!" Chekov hollered from across the bridge.

I shot him a concerned look.

"She, she's-" Chekov began.

"She's what?" I asked, panicking.

"She's not breazing!" He finished stepping back.

Bones ran over to my daughter. I stayed put as to not get in his way. Chekov walked over to me with a panicked expression on his face.

"Ze alien, he set it to phase. I don't understand." Chekov said looking straight into my eyes.

I looked over at Bones, and saw him giving Krystine mouth to mouth. I have to admit, it was kind of disgusting to watch but this was her life on the line. My God how many times in the course of two days am I going to almost loose her?

"She still has a pulse?" I asked Bones.

"Yes. Which is good." He replied quickly. He continued trying to get air into her, and seemed to be loosing hope.

"Come on, come on..." He kept saying out loud.

Krystine's POV

I was becoming more and more conscious. I could feel air being pushed into my lungs. I realized I wasn't breathing and took a huge gasp, opening my eyes. Bones was right in my face, holding my head upright.

"What the?" I asked, looking around a little dazed.

"You weren't breathing." He replied, holding his fingers near my throat, obviously feeling for a steady pulse.

"Ew!" I screeched, realizing that he must've given me mouth to mouth. I took the back of my hand and wiped my lips. I went to swallow some saliva, but took a breath in at the same time. I began coughing, and Bones helped me stand up. I finished coughing and started laughing.

"That's disgusting." I said.

"Well, what else was I supposed to do?" He asked, laughing with me.

I looked over to see my dad, Scotty, and Chekov all laughing along. Spock was just smiling.

"So. Has anyone figured out how we're going to get this thing off the ground?" I asked. That was the main purpose of why we were actually in this ship to begin with.

"Yes, actually." Scotty said, running out of the bridge. Seconds later, the whole ship powered up.

My dad took a seat in the Captain's chair, Chekov and I sat in the pilots places at the front, Spock sat at the back of the bridge and the control panels, and Bones and Scotty just found two empty seats.

"Try not to break it." My dad said as I reached for the acceleration lever. I nodded and slowly pushed it forward. The ship didn't move. I pushed a little harder, and it moved a little. I kept pushing it, and we kept moving forward. Eventually we were right on the edge of a cliff.

"Ve need to drop down, zen use zat speed to propel ourselves into ze air." Chekov said.

"Lets do it." I responded, inching the lever ever so slightly forward. I let go of the lever, and the ship slowly tipped forward. We began falling down the extremely tall cliff, doing a nose dive. The rest was up to Chekov now. The ground began inching closer and closer to us, and I was on the edge of my seat. We were very close to it now, and I gripped the arms of the chair.

"Chekov." My dad said with a questioning tone in his voice.

"Yes Sir any second now." He replied.

We were about 10 meters away from the ground now and I thought we were going to crash. Chekov hit a switch and the ship suddenly jolted upright.

"That was a little close." Bones said gritting his teeth.

"I needed to make sure ve had enough speed." Chekov responded, turning around and looking at him.

"Alright, lets find Krall." My dad said.
