I saw Star Trek Beyond today and guess what? I love it! I have so many ideas for Jasmine in the movie. While watching the movie, I was like 'Okay, so Jasmine can do this.' I know that I always have Jasmine with her brother, so I was thinking about how to make the story more exciting rather than having her just another character in the movie. Like having a back story or something. So you guys will just have to wait and see. Anyways, the story is about to end and I will do the next story when the DVD comes out. I just wish that I have more reviews though :(
Chapter 8
Jasmine sat down at her station, looking up at the ceiling. She had to get someone else to fit in for the navigator position. Jasmine blamed herself for everything that is happening right now. She wished that she was with her son right now. She hasn't seen him in a really long time. Jasmine snapped out of it when Dr. Marcus entered the bridge.
Jasmine couldn't understand what she was telling her brother, but she could hear Jim saying, "Carol, we're at warp."
"Captain!" Jasmine heard Sulu. "I'm getting a reading I don't understand."
Jasmine jerked forward when something hit the ship.
"Where are we?" Jim asked Sulu.
"We're 237, 000 kilometers from Earth," Sulu answered.
"Damage report!"
"Weapons are way down."
"Shields are dropping. We're defenseless, sir."
"Sir, we have a bulkhead breach."
"Major hull damage, Captain."
Jasmine heard everyone talking to Jim all at once. She jerked again when the ship been hit.
"Evasive maneuvers! Get us to Earth! Right now!" Jim ordered.
"Captain! Stop!" Dr. Marcus said. "Everybody on this ship is going to die if you don't let me speak to him."
"Uhura, hail him," Jim had to do it…for his crew.
"Sir. It's me. It's Carol."
The firing stopped and Admiral Marcus appeared on the screen. "What are you doing on that ship?"
"I heard what you said. That you made a mistake and now you're doing everything you can to fix it. But, Dad…I don't believe that the man who raised me is capable of destroying a ship full of innocent people. And, if I'm wrong about that, then you're gonna have to do it with me on board."
"Actually, Carol, I won't."
The bridge crew saw Dr. Marcus getting transported.
"Can we intercept the transport signal?" Jim asked.
"No, sir," Sulu answered back.
Dr. Marcus screamed…and then she was gone.
"Captain Kirk, without authorization and in league with the fugitive John Harrison, you went rogue in enemy territory, leaving me no choice but to hunt you down and destroy you," Admiral Marcus looked at Jasmine. "It's a shame that your son will never know about his mother." One of Marcus's crew member brought Grayson to Marcus.
"My baby!" Jasmine walked closer to the screen with tears in her eyes. She felt Spock behind her.
Grayson smiled when he saw his mother and father.
"Wait, sir, wait, wait, wait!" Jim stood beside his sister.
"I'll make this quick. Target all aft torpedoes on the Enterprise bridge," Marcus ordered.
"Sir, my crew was just following my orders. I take full responsibility for my actions. But they were mine and they were mine alone. If I transmit Khan's location to you now, all that I ask is that you spare them. Please, sir. I'll do anything you want. Just let them live," Jim begged.
"That's a hell of an apology. But if it's any consolation, I was never going to spare your crew. Fire when…" the transmission ended.
Jim looked around at every single crew member…his family. He saw Jasmine crying on Spock's shoulder. Grayson will never grow up with his family. Nobody will tell Grayson…his nephew…what his mother, father, and uncle did. "I'm sorry."
"Their weapons have powered down. Sir," Sulu informed the captain.
"Enterprise! Can you hear me?" They heard Scotty's voice.
"Scotty!" Jim couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Guess what I found behind Jupiter."
"You're on that ship!" Jim smiled.
"I snuck on. And seeing as I've just committed an act of treason against a Starfleet Admiral, I'd really like to get off this bloody ship. Now beam me out!"
"You're a miracle worker. We're a little low on power right now. Just stand by. Stand by," Jim assured Scotty.
"What do you mean, "low on power?" What happened to the Enterprise? Call you back."
"Scotty!" Jim called out.
Jasmine smiled. She could always count on Scotty.
"Spock. Our ship, how is she?" Jim asked.
"We options are limited, Captain. We cannot fire and we cannot flee," Spock answered.
Jim was thinking."There is one option."
"Uhura, when you get Scotty back, patch him though."
"Yes, sir."
"Mr. Spock, you have the conn," Jim went to the elevator. Spock and Jasmine followed him.
"Captain, I strongly object."
"And I agree with him," Jasmine said.
"To what? I haven't said anything yet."
"You're going to the ship," Jasmine frowned.
"And as a large boarding party would be detected, it is optimal for you to take a few members of the crew as possible," the trio exited the elevator. "You will meet resistance, requiring personnel with advanced combat abilities and innate knowledge of that ship. This indicates that you plan to align with Khan, the very man we were sent here to destroy."
"I'm not aligning with him, I'm using him."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Jasmine mumbled.
"An Arabic proverb attributed to a prince who was betrayed and decapitated by his own subjects."
"Still, it's a hell of a quote," Jim smirked at Jasmine.
"I will go with you, Captain," Spock told Jim.
"No, I need you on the bridge."
"I cannot allow you to do this. It is my function aboard this ship to advise you on making the wisest decisions possible, something I firmly believe you are incapable of doing in this moment."
"You're right! What I'm about to do, it doesn't make any sense, it's not logical. It is a gut feeling. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I only know what I can do. The Enterprise and her crew need someone in that chair that knows what he's doing. And it's not me. It's you, Spock," Jim walked off.
"Jim wait!" Jasmine caught up to him. "If Spock can't go then I will go with you," Jasmine said.
"Absolutely not," Jim shook his head.
"That bastard has my son! Your nephew!" Jasmine began to cry again. "I will not sit here and do nothing!
Jim debated on letting Jasmine go with him…or stay on board.
