The air around Galaxy felt heavy, a lot heavier than she would have expected. But, she suspected that that was just the radiation around her. She gave her pelt a shake before she looked up to Jim.
"You didn't have to come," he told her cooly. "Who's going to take care of Spaw?"
Galaxy didn't say anything right away. "Spaw will be alright. I had to do this. She'll understand that one day."
Jim wasn't so sure about that, but he didn't say anything. He didn't need to have an argument with Galaxy right now. They just had to do this to save everyone on the ship, including Spaw.
They continued forward and into the chamber with Galaxy breathing heavy. Her eyes were nearly narrowed to slits as panic seemed to claw at her heart. She knew what she was doing and what would happen because of it.
She followed Jim deeper into the warp core and felt her entire body tense. She continued to walk, but felt as if her brain had been placed in a blender. She shook her head to clear it and whimpered slightly.
They continued in as Galaxy saw the warp core looked to be shifted slightly. She would need to push the warp core to align it once more, but that would be difficult.
Galaxy reared on her hind legs before she spread her wings and flew into the air, sinking her claws into the top of the warp core before she kicked her hind legs against the warp core. The warp core slightly moved before she lowered down. She shook out her flank and looked back up to Jim.
Jim then jumped as he gripped into the top of the warp core. He started to do the same thing that Galaxy had been doing. Galaxy then pelted forward and reared on her hind legs, pushing her paws against the warp core.
It seemed to take forever before the warp core suddenly snapped back and Galaxy was thrust backwards. She rolled slightly backwards with her back arching against the floor.
She struggled to her paws as she felt the ground quake from under her. She let out a deep cough before purpose washed over her. She had saved the Enterprise. Too bad she couldn't save herself.
