Book 4 - Star Trek: Predator - Sad Day for Konoha's - Chapter 1, Friend in trouble
It has been 3 years since the war started, and there was no end in site, the Federation was holding very well, but the Cardassian and Breen ships seemed to have an endless supply of ships dragging the war on and on
The USS Lexington was on boarder patrol, she was a Achilles class, Hinata had been serving on her for 2 years, she had made many friends and gain the respect of her Captain, She was now a LT JG and Chief of Operations
She was in her room composing letters, she had sent one to Neji and to most of the other Konoha's except Naruto, she was doing his now, all Konoha Officers kept in touch
Hinata: computer begin Recording, Hi Naruto, how are you doing? I heard you got Promoted again and made Chief of the Hazard team
Even thought she wasn't in his presence, she couldn't help but blush and play with her fingers, her voice was soft
Hinata: I am hoping to be promoted soon, I have been working extra hard....I....Have been thinking a lot about.....
She was getting even more nervous and blushing, she stopped talking and looked down at the floor
All of a sudden the ship went to Red alert, the captains voice telling the crew to get to battle stations
Hinata: Oh no I have to go, computer stop recording....send to USS Freedom for LT Uzumaki Naruto
Computer: Message Sent
She ran out of her quarters and made it onto the bridge, she took over Ops
Hinata: What's going on
Lena: (Captain) Unknown ship just warped into the system, all we know is that its of the alien design
Hinata began scanning it
Hinata: Its....Huge
Shawn: (XO) Its twice the size of a Galaxy class....
Lena: Open Fire !
The Lexington fired its impressive armada of weapons, Q2 Torpedoes, and its Type XIIA Phasers
Mike: (Tactical) Direct hits, there shields took minor damage....There firing back
The alien ship fired multiple torpedoes, disruptors and phasers, hitting the ship and sending explosions on the bridge
Mike: Shields down to 14% , minor damage to Secondary systems
Lena: This ship is too powerful for us to take on alone, Helm get us out of here
Eric: (Helm) You don't have to tell me twice
He tapped a few buttons on the console, but just as the warp engines were powering up, the ship fired a tractor beam
Eric: Warpfield has collapsed
Lena: Can we get free?
Hinata: if we reverse the polarity of our shields to the precise frequency of the tractor beam we might just be able to break free
Lena: DO IT
Hinata: Already on it Captain
Hinata was working hard on trying to decrypt the beams frequency
Eric: There opening some kind of doors..... And pulling us right into it!
Mike: 10 seconds until they pull us in
Lena: Full reverse
Eric: Aye
Mike: That gave us an extra 10 seconds 17 left...16, 15 14 13 12 11 10
Lena: Anytime now Hinata
Mike: 9 8 7
Hinata: GOT IT reversing polarity of the shields
The ship brook free
Lena: Great job Hinata !! Helm
Eric: already on it....Course set speed 9.5
The ship enters Warp
Hinata: Captain there in pursuit.....And gaining !!
Lena: Engineering, I need EVERYTHING YOU HAVE
Vicky: (Chief Engineer) I can give you Warp 9.91 but that's it Captain
Lena: I will take it
Eric: we are now at 9.8
The ship began to shake violently
Eric: 9.9...9.91
Hinata: There still gaining, 10 seconds until there in weapons range
Lena: My god.....A ship that size, how can it be so fast, Send out a distress signal...
Hinata sent out a general distress call to Starfleet, but she also sent a message to the USS Freedom and to DS9
Mike: There in weapons range. There firing !
The Lexington took multiple hits and dropped out of warp
Mike: Aft shields are down, warp engines offline impulse offline main power offline, weapons offline, that was precise targeting....
Hinata: They are re-engaged there tractor beam.....
Lena: All hands....Prepare to repel intruders....If they want this ship ,there not going to get it without a fight....
The Lexington was entering the ship, the doors began to close as they were pulled in

Meanwhile, the Freedom was on a medical supply mission to Rigal 2
Tucker: We are a war ship doing a medical run...We should be on the front lines
Kira: Well Regal 2 really needs these supplies sir

The Freedom was at full warp towards the last known coordinates of the Lexington, Naruto was eating some Ramen in the Mess, he was reviewing his list of HT Members trying to consider someone to take his old job as XO

Naruto: Not at all, go right ahead
Sasuke: What are you doing?
Naruto: Trying to pick out my XO
Sasuke: Want my opinion?
Naruto: Sure

Naruto: That is true but I don't think she is ready for a command position, but I will keep her in mind
Sasuke: Well there is always Nick
Naruto: Yeah I have been considering him, maybe I should make a test
Sasuke: Test?

Naruto: I will watch them after diner
Kira: It might be from a secret admirer
Naruto: Nah, no one really cares that much about me
Sasuke shook his head....Even back in Konoha, Naruto had to be the only dumb headed person who couldn't see that Hinata had a HUGE crush on him.....
Kira: Well I am off duty, you 2 mind joining me on the holodeck for some pool?
Sasuke: Sure I am in
Naruto: Nah you 2 go without me I still have some things to do
