(Author's Note: I have not forgotten about "The Dark Age." I will update it when I start gaining some new ideas. Writer's block is no fun. This story is another one of those "Alternate Universe" deals. My "Mirror Universe" series is officially done, so I am now working on this. This story uses some elements that may be present in another Kingdom Hearts project I am in the midst of. I ask those who are not KH fans appreciate this for it's worthiness as a Star Trek story, while I ask all non-Star Trek fans to do the same for the KH elements. Also, this will only be four or five chapters long. It will by no means be a multi-story adventure like my "Mirror" saga was. )
"Captain's log: Star date 2713.49. The Enterprise is responding to a distress call sent by the U.S.S. Terra. They appear to be under attack by an extraterrestrial threat. We have just arrived in the Beta Obscura system, where this clash is taking place."
Scenes switch to the interior of the Enterprise.
Captain Kirk is seen sitting on his cahir, while the other member are at their stations.
"Spock, status report?" Kirk asks.
"The U.S.S Terra seems to be critically damaged." Spock says. "The life signs within are few in number and decreasing. I estimate that the ship will be completely purged in ten human minutes, Captain."
"What about the enemy vessel, Mister Chekov?" Kirk asks. "Any luck?"
"Negative, Keptin." Chekov says. "I cannot get any readings on her. It doesn't register as a ship of any kind. It isn't even registering as an object."
"Lieutenant Uhura? Any luck with communications?" Kirk asks.
Uhura turns to face Kirk from her console.
"Negative, Captain." Uhura says. "Neither the enemy vessel, nor the Terra are answering any hails on any frequency."
"Hmmm..." Kirk says. "Mr. Chekov, power full phasers. Let's see if we can shake some of the heat off of the Terra."
"Aye, Keptin." Chekov says. "Powering phasers."
"All hands, go to red alert." Kirk says. "All crewmen are to enter battle stations. Lieutenant Uhura?"
"On it, Captain." Uhura says.
Scenes briefly switch to the fight outside.
The Terra fires it's phasers, only for the enemy ship, which is all black, and has a red heart-like symbol on it's hull, to summon tentacles around it's frame, which deflect the phaser's out of the way.
The Enterprise fires it's phasers as well, only for the same thing to happen.
Then a wormhole briefly comes into formation.
Another Enterprise leaves the wormhole as it stops next to the Terra.
It fires at the enemy ship with a white light-like phaser, as the vessel appears to take damage.
Scenes switch to the original Entrerprise.
Cehkov turns to face Kirk.
"Keptin!" Chekov says. "I am getting a reading on another vessel...It's readings match ours on EVERY scale!"
"Captain, we are being hailed by the mystery vessel!" Uhura says.
"Very well, on screen." Kirk says.
An image of Captain Kirk with a white uniform appears on the viewing screen.
This Kirk's uniform is completely white, and has a red key-like badge on it's left side.
"This is Captain James T. Kirk of the K.S.S. Enterprise." The other Kirk says. "Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, please respond."
Kirk nods to Uhura as she opens a channel.
"This is Captain James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise." Kirk says. "And I would like an explanation for all this. If this is a joke, I am NOT laughing."
"Negative, Captain." Says a voice from the other screen. "Only through our help can your'e current enemy be eliminated."
An alternate Spock, wearing the same colors as the crew of the other Enterprise steps into view.
The original Spock steps beside Kirk and raises an eyebrow.
Space...The Final Frontier...These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. It's five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!"
