Welcome to my first Star Trek fanfiction! I hope you enjoy this!
Full Summary
Two girls, that's all it took. Two girls, with different ideas but the same dream.
Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds,
to seek out new life and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no one has gone before!
Who would have known a young wanna-be engineer and a beginner linguistics expert would have to fight the newest threat to Star Fleet and the universe, and save all life as we know it. But, that is a small feat when their love interests are in mortifying danger. How will these young girls deal with the pressure of being a universal hero? Read to find out! Doctor McCoy x OC, Chekov x OC, hinted Spirk (Spock and Kirk) but nothing too smutty. Only canon, because canon is amazing. Future violence, each chapter will be rated just to warn people. Slight spoilers for Star Trek, into darkness. Enjoy!
It was a beautiful day at Star Fleet Academy, the sun lined the giant building and created shadows of a magnificent scale. The soft rumble of the students chatting was at a reasonable level, if not slightly quieter than usual. This, was because Captain James Tiberius Kirk (AKA Jim Kirk) was visiting the academy in the usual manoeuver of picking two students to board his ship. This ship, was the starship Enterprise, known for saving different worlds countless times and her most recent achievement being the prevention of the destruction of earth;which was caused by Khan, a chemically enhanced soldier from many hundreds of years ago who wanted revenge for Star Fleet abusing his abilities and misleading him to believing his family and crew were dead. So, once he was put into the Cyrosleep, the world was free from his anger and hatred. Now, once the damaged parts were repaired, the students at the Star Fleet Academy were free to follow their dreams once more. Now, the students were standing at attention waiting for Captain Kirk and his crew to arrive and choose those special students to join him in space. They were all eager, but none more so than two young girls who were at separate ends of the line.
Kathlyn Dekona stood at the left end of the line, relaxed seeing as she wasn't in the Captain's presence yet. She crossed her arms firmly over her chest while sighing, "How much longer?" She grumbled, peering down the line of about seventeen students to the end before hearing the announcement that the Captain, as well as some of his crew, had arrived.
"Well, Captain, these are the candidates for your picking." First officer Spock murmured in the shorter man's ear, eyes wandering along the line while thinking about the statistics he had just received from one of the teachers.
"Yes, thank you, Mr Spock." Captain Kirk said calmly, standing and nodding in respect to the students chosen. He then began to go to the right of the line, where the youngest of the candidates stood straight.
"Miss Aurora Hunter. Age 19, specializing in linguistics and dabbling in navigation. She came second in the final exam and came top in linguistics, even beating Leutenant Ulhura with her earlier score." Spock said just loud enough to be heard over the murmurs of the students outside the room. "She's obtained 100% attendance and has excellent punctuality. This is one of the candidates that I highly recommend, Captain."
Aurora had to hide the smile that pulled at her lips under such praise, being rather proud of her scores and her achievements over the time she had spent at Star Fleet. This was her chance to finally fly into the stars, and maybe find what she had looked for all along, an adventure to last a lifetime.
"Hmm, impressive Miss Hunter. Spock, remind me to come back to this candidate." The Captain said with a slight smile, before carrying on down the line.
Now, even though all eyes were on the Captain, Kathlyn's sparkling eyes wandered through the crew members before spotting the young Russian she had been looking for. "Hey, Hey Chekov!" She hissed, grinning as the Russian boy turned and his mouth opened in a slight cry of delight; this is what caused Leonard McCoy to stare at him in astonishment and well...he just looked plainly and rather seriously confused.
"Ah, here is a quite remarkable candidate, Captain. Miss Kathlyn Dekona. Age 25, full results in a few subjects, high results in others. Majoring in engineering and field work... Also trained, in hand to hand combat, as well as weaponized fighting...this would be the second candidate that I recommend, sir."
Captain Kirk looked at Kathlyn, eyes boring into hers a moment before looking away to his crew as they all waited to hear who was to join them aboard Enterprise. He smiled at his crew, nodding slightly to signify he had chosen.
"All right, would the candidates Kathlyn Dekona and Aurora Hunter step forward please."
Both girls took a step forward, saluting their Captain.
"Please make your way over to Space Shuttle 12, we shall depart in an hours time." Captain Kirk said before turning and walking out of sight, Spock following.
Kathlyn grinned, walking over to Chekov and giving him a high-five. "Oh yeah, i'm in!" She grinned, "Even though I always knew i'd be here with you, bro!"
Chekov grinned, "Yes, it is wonderful to see you, Kathlyn."
"Bro?" Doctor McCoy asked, raising an eyebrow. "I thought you were an orphan with no siblings, Chekov?"
"Ah, that is correct, Doctor. I met Kathlyn in the orphanage where I grew up!" Chekov beamed, hugging the older girl.
Doctor McCoy nodded and left the two to be alone, going over the medical details of the two newest crew members. His eyes kept wandering back to Kathlyn, curious about her medical history and her background more than anything. But, for now he wouldn't bring that up to Jim or anyone just yet...
A Few Hours Later
Aurora, Kathlyn and the crew boarded the shuttle together. Kathlyn sat on the right of Chekov and to the left of McCoy, whereas Aurora sat on the left of Chekov and to the right of Captain Kirk. Both girls felt the same. Excited, thrilled, nervous...But, this just gave the girls the confidence to chat as the shuttle took off.
"So, what's your name kid?" Kathlyn asked Aurora, smirking slightly at the pout which covered the younger girls face.
"Aurora, and i'm not a kid. How about yours?"
"Kathlyn, shorten it in anyway and i'm afraid you're going to get hurt pretty fast, Aurora."
Aurora growled slightly, frowning as Chekov nervously laughed and put a hand on Kathlyn's shoulder.
"I apologize for my sister, Aurora." He said softly, "She's a little...unsocial...if you get what I mean."
Aurora nodded as Kathlyn scoffed, turning in her chair to talk to Doctor McCoy. Young Aurora sighed, turning away from Chekov and looking out to the stars as they broke through the atmosphere.
"Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds,
to seek out new life and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no one has gone before!"
Well, here's the first chapter of Taking Flight! I hope you've enjoyed this first chapter and there shall be many more adventures to come!
