Two Kirks And A Vulcan

Chapter Five

"Who are you?" Kirk demanded again. The alien said nothing. Kirk couldn't take it. His first officer and his own sister were taken. And this alien wasn't responding at all. Then Uhura gasped as everyone looked at her.

            "We are the Skylar race. We have heard stories of the infamous Captain Kirk and how he has challenged other races. We want to eliminate that threat," Uhura said in a voice that wasn't her own. Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy walked closer to her.

            "But I have not attacked you. I have not even seen or heard of your kind until this moment. If you want Captain Kirk, then beam my crew back and take me!" Captain Kirk demanded. The alien onscreen straightened up.

            "One that we beamed aboard claimed she was Kirk," Uhura said. McCoy looked at Jim.

            "She will die. The other can be released," Uhura announced.

            "No she's not the one you want! I am. Take me, release them and leave everyone else alone," he pleaded.

            "It was already decided the female is adequate."

            "Adequate for what? What have I done to you?" Kirk yelled.

            "It's not what you have done, it's what you will do," Uhura said that sent a chill through Jim.

            "You're from the future?" he gasped.

            "Near future. A deadly one for us. Now we will end your future," Uhura said as she gasped. The transmission ended as the screen showed the stars. Dr. McCoy caught Uhura as she slumped down in her chair.

            "How do I destroy an alien race?" Kirk gaped.

            "I dunno Jim, but you better worry about your own first," Bones said as Uhura came back to herself.

            Alex was taken to a small room. It had a single chair that had straps. She immediately turned around, but the alien held her back with his mind, and made her put herself in the chair as he only then used his hands to strap her down.

            "What do you want?" Alex spat. The alien didn't move his mouth, but spoke with his mind to hers.

            You destroyed our race. We want revenge.

            "Destroyed a race? I have done no such thing! I am just a trained medical officer," Alex protested as she felt attacked in her mind. She screamed in agony.

            Spock kept pacing the cell as he calculated possible ways to escape. Then he heard the screaming. He knew Alex was in trouble, but he had no way to contact the captain or the Enterprise. Spock stood still. He saw another alien come to the cell.

            You are released and will be taken back. Spock heard in his mind.

            I will not leave without her, Spock thought determined.

            That was not the command. The alien opened the cell and forced Spock to walk out. Spock fought against his will, but was led away toward what he thought was a transporter room. As the alien walked in first, Spock forced his hand to do the Vulcan nerve pinch and succeeded as his captor was caught off guard. Spock released his grip as the alien slid to the floor unconscious.

            "Biological advantage," Spock smiled to himself.
