The captain throws his arms in the air with his fists clenched tight.
I look into the camera knowing that the crew of the Enterprise will be watching. I give them a firm nod and finally the captain stops showing off long enough to tell his men to step back and accept my challenge.
"He says, if he wins he will take our crew, give them false hope and then push them out into open space. They will die a slow and painful death." Uhura translates.
"You better know what your doing. It is my crew that you have in your hands." Kirk says to me with a hopeful yet serious tone.
"Calm down, I once took down a man the size of a building with a broken leg and a sprained wrist." I reply
Both Kirk and Uhura look at me in disbelief with eyebrows raised.
"What? I'd just stared so obviously I had a few injures." I continue with a calm tone and a slight smile.
The Klingon creature makes a roar as he bangs on his armour like an ape.
I roll my eyes and make my way to the centre of the room so that I am standing only 5 feet apart from the captain.
He narrows his eyes at me in an attempt to scare me and I just reply with a slightly over exaggerated sigh.
He moves his shoulders backwards and pushes his chest out in response.
Taking a huge step towards me, his right arm draws back with tight fists and lunges forward with great speed and humongous force.
I quickly duck and once his arm is on my right side, I grab it and pull it close to my chest whilst twisting my whole body to the left. Putting my right leg on the edge of his shoulder and my left leg on the right side of his head I use all my strength and cause his whole body to flip like a cartwheel and he lands on the floor with a painful 'thud'. I have successfully dislocated his shoulder and broken his forearm.Despite his injuries, he manages to get back up to his feet and slowly puts his left hand on his right shoulder and shoves his shoulder back into place. I knew that wouldn't keep him down for long.
The creature speaks, looking at me but his words are for Uhura.
"He says that you will have to try better than that." she shouts to me.
Staring the Klingon right in the eyes, in a voice so low yet so powerful I reply "Oh, we're just getting started."In the next instant, I'm charging at the beast and when I'm close enough I manage to get in a few good hits to his broken arm before he grabs both of my legs in one hand, and my arms in the other, stretching me out. He holds me up high and raises his knee. Using his strength, and the added force of gravity he throws me down. I manage to spin just enough to avoid breaking my back and my stomach collides with his knee.
"Agh!" I scream out in pain as the experience has winded me.
Kneeling on the floor, I need one hand to keep me steady and one hand to comfort the pain. My head is low but I glance up at the creature without him realising.
He swings his foot in my direction and I manage to catch it. With all the strength I can find, I flip his leg up high in the air, using the strength of my legs as I stand up causing him to crash into the ground.
Whilst he is on the floor, I jump on top of him and wrap my hands around his neck. Straddling him, I use my feet to pin his legs down and my body weight to pin his arms behind his back.
Silence.
His men are quiet. They are in shock, just like the crew of the Enterprise.
His body is still and his breathing is shallow. I know he can hear me so I tell him "I win...you live."
Uhura translates but I know he understands me anyway.All I can see in his eyes is defeat as they stay locked on mine. I don't dare brake his gaze, I will not let him cheat me.
"We go. Now." I say firmly to Uhura and Kirk.
We walk slowly backwards, eyes still locked with the Captains.
I hear the sound of feet moving, the others are clearing a path.
We get to the doors of the shuttle and take our weapons back.
Still staring, I drop my quiver but I don't look down. I feel for it slowly and calmly place it on my shoulder.
I don't break the gaze until I can't see them anymore.
I hear sighs of relief as we move further and further away from the Klingon ship.
We attach back onto the Enterprise and are greeted with stares of shock.
Apparently, it's surprising to everyone that a teenage girl could ever even get a hit in on a Klingon, let alone beat a Captain in a fight.
On the bridge, Kirk starts giving orders "Mr.Chekov, put as much distance between us and those Klingons will you, they didn't look too pleased."
"Yes keptin." Chekov replies.
We are about to move when suddenly the screen comes back on.
The Captain is not the one addressing us.
"You really think we would let you get away with this humiliation." Uhura translates.
"It must be the new Captain..." Spock says silently.
Behind this new Captain, I see the 'old' one lying on the floor where I left him in a pool of what I assume to be blood.
"They're locking veapons on us." Chekov says hurriedly after the screen goes back to normal again.
"We won't make it." Uhura states.
Everyone is panicking 'slightly'.
I just stand still and wait for someone to notice me.
I give a few over exaggerated coughs until finally, Scotty calms down enough to ask me how I'm so calm. He shouted it so everyone stops what they're doing and looks at me, even Kirk.
"Good question Scotty. Let me explain..." I say in sarcastic tone.
I hold up my bow and show the trigger off.
"See this here, this detonates whatever arrow was last loaded. Be it explosive, EMP or grappling hook. So when I 'dropped' my quiver before, I left an explosive arrow at the side near the door just incase." I continue as they listen in silence.
Still holding up my bow, I say "Observe." as I point my bow in the direction of the enemy ship.
I pull the trigger and 'boom'.
The arrow was placed so perfectly that a huge hole has appeared at the front of the ship.
"I would take that as our cue to leave." I say to break the silence.
