I do NOT own the Mortal Instruments or Star Trek.
Chapter 1:
"Clary!" Jace shouted. "Open a portal!"
Clary, Jace, Alec, Magnus, Isabelle, and Simon were fighting several endarkened. They had been minding their own business, lounging around in Central Park. They were discussing where Sebastian was hiding when the endarkened attacked.
"I can't. Not with so many endarkened after me!" Clary hollered back.
Jace moved attacking the endarkened that was after Clary. It was hard to keep them away. There were so many endarkened, too many for them to fight off. Clary crouched down, pulling her stele from her pocket. She drew a portal.
"The portal's finished," Clary called to the others.
Her friends started backing retreating towards her. When they had almost reached Clary, a blur of black and white shot past them. The blur was a figure. Sebastian slammed into Clary knocking them both through the portal.
"Clary!" Jace shouted.
"What are you doing here, Q?" Captain Picard asked, sharply.
Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Data, and Worf were in the briefing room when Q snapped in.
"Do I need a reason to visit you, Captain?" Q asked sounding offended.
"Yes," Picard insisted.
"Your right. I do have a reason," Q said. "Try to guess what it is."
"I don't have time for your guessing games, Q," Picard said, angrily. "What do you want?"
"I'm not going to tell you, so I guess you'll just have to figure it out," Q said.
Captain Picard was about to speak when what looked like a glowing miniature wormhole appeared. A shape hurtled out of it. The shape that had come through the wormhole broke apart into two people. Quickly following, another five people rushed out of the wormhole.
Worf pressed his com badge. "Security to the briefing room," Commander Worf said.
"Who are you people?" Picard asked.
There was a tiny girl with bright fiery red hair and luminous green eyes facing a tall boy with white blonde hair and obsidian eyes. Another girl was tall and had raven black hair and dark eyes; she was holding a golden whip. Next to her was a boy with brown hair, brown eyes, and unusually long teeth. On the other side of the girl was a boy with black hair and bright blue eyes, holding a crossbow. Standing next to the black haired boy was a sparkly man with unusual cat eyes and blue sparks snapping about his fingers. Standing somewhat in front of them was a golden blonde boy with gold eyes.
The golden boy pulled a cylindrical object from a belt around his waist.
"Gabriel," the golden boy whispered and a blade blazed up.
The white blonde boy glanced at the golden boy. He moved quick as lightning to grabbed the red head. He pulled her up against him, his arms around her pinning hers to her side. The golden boy rushed at them. The white blonde touched a ring around his finger, twisting it. The white blonde boy and the red headed girl disappeared. Goldie reached them just as they disappeared, slashing out with his glowing blade.
"Who are you people?" Picard asked again, just as security rushed into the room.
Jace, Alec, Magnus, Isabelle, and Simon turned to face the other people.
Simon blinked. "Did we stumble onto a Star Trek set or something?" He asked.
Everybody looked at Simon.
"What's Star Trek?" Isabelle asked.
"Star Trek is a TV show. It started back in the 60s, and in the 80s they made a sequel series called Star Trek the Next Generation. The shows featured a star ship called the Enterprise, which explored the galaxy with improbably lucky captains and crews," Simon explained.
"What do you know about the Enterprise? Who are you people?" Picard asked.
"I'm Jace Herondale. This is Alec and Isabelle Lightwood, Magnus Bane, and Simon Lewis," Jace introduced. "If you don't mind my asking, who are you?"
"I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This is my second in command, William Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data, and Lieutenant Worf," Picard introduced. "I'd like to know what you're doing on my ship."
Q stepped forward, "Captain, I'm hurt you didn't introduce me. I'm Q."
"Q? As in always doing something fun to the crew, Q?" Simon asked.
"I wouldn't exactly call what he does to us 'fun'," Will said.
"Really Riker, I thought we had a blast," Q said.
"How did you get here? Did you bring them here, Q?" Picard accused.
"I did not bring them here. I didn't plan to bring them here. But I do have to say, it should be interesting with them around," Q said, and snapped his fingers, disappearing.
"We came by portal," Magnus said, speaking for the first time.
"What is a portal?" Data asked.
"It's a door that allows someone to be transported great distances quickly," Magnus explained.
"How is one made?" Data asked.
"Magic," Magnus said.
"There is no such thing as magic," Will said.
"Yes there is," Alec said, at the same moment Magnus said, "Of course there is."
Magnus snapped his fingers and blue sparks shot from them. The security guards' phasers disappeared. They looked around.
"Where did their phasers go?" Worf asked.
"Right there," Magnus wiggled his fingers and the phasers appeared in Worf's hands.
"A trick easily recreated by the use of a transporter," Data said.
"What's a transporter?" Isabelle asked.
"How can you not know what a transporter is?" Will asked.
"We aren't Trekkies," Simon said.
"Trekkies?" Picard asked.
"Fans of Star Trek,"
"If you are suggesting we are a television show, you are incorrect in that assumption," Data said.
"Star Trek is a TV show. Captain Picard and his crew are just actors," Simon said.
"All we know about this 'Star Trek' is the little you explained about earlier, but we are on a real star ship," Picard said.
"So you believe you really are Captain Picard? And they're really Will Riker, Data, and Worf?" Simon asked disbelievingly.
"I assure you we are on a star ship, and I am Captain Picard." Picard gestured toward the window. "Now I need some answers. Where did you come from, and why are you on my ship?"
"We were under attack from Sebastian's army of endarkened. When Sebastian pushed Clary through the portal, we followed. We came here to rescue her." Jace explained. "We didn't know where we were going."
"What are endarkened?" Will asked. "Are they likely to follow you here? Is the ship in danger of attack?"
"Endarkened are shadowhunters that have been turned by the Infernal Cup. The portal is no longer open, so the endarkened can't follow," Jace reasoned.
"What are shadowhunters?" Will asked.
"A shadowhunter is a descendant of the Angel Raziel and Jonathan Shadowhunter. About a thousand years ago…" Jace was saying.
"More like around fourteen hundred years ago. If they're really who they say they are, we're in the twenty-fourth century now," Simon interrupted.
"You're saying we traveled forward in time?" Isabelle asked.
"You guys are from the past?" Will asked at the same time.
"Apparently," Magnus said.
"Please continue with your explanation," Picard prodded.
"As I was saying, a long time ago Raziel and Jonathan Shadowhunter mixed their blood together in the Mortal Cup. This allowed Jonathan Shadowhunter to create more shadowhunters, so they could protect the world from demons. Sebastian created a replica that he filled with demon blood. He called it the Infernal Cup, and he uses it to make shadowhunters evil," Jace explained.
"Demons are real?" Will asked.
"Along with vampires, werewolves, fairies, and warlocks. We call them downworlders. Shadowhunters were created to hunt demons, rouge downworlders, and the occasional evil shadowhunter," Isabelle said.
"This all very fascinating. Please tell us more about this supernatural world," Picard said.
"We really don't have time for that. We need to find our friend," Jace said.
"You mean the girl?" Will asked.
"Yeah, Clary. She was the girl Sebastian just kidnapped," Simon said.
"Is there anything we can do to help find them?" Will asked.
"No," Jace said.
"Actually, there is," Magnus said at the same time.
"Magnus?" Alec asked.
"We don't know where Sebastian took Clary. If he didn't take her back to Earth, we may need their help in finding her," Magnus explained.
"We would be glad to help," Picard said.
"OK. Magnus can do a tracking spell. If she isn't on Earth, you can help us get to where she is," Jace said.
"A tracking spell?" Data asked.
"Yes. That is usually the quickest way to find someone who's missing." Jace stated.
"You use magic to find people?" Will asked.
"No, just Magnus. Didn't we mention that Magnus is a warlock?" Jace said.
"No," Picard said.
"Must have slipped my mind," Jace said.
"How does the tracking spell work?" Data asked.
"I use something that belongs to the person I'm tracking and do magic," Magnus explained.
Jace handed Magnus a necklace. "She asked me to hold this earlier when we were training," Jace said.
Magnus took the necklace and did the spell. Blue sparks danced across his fingers as he did it.
"I know where she is," Magnus said.
