And I am back with a new chapter :)
A few reviews to respond to
bankai777 - Hey, Thanks for the review, I hope you are enjoying this story as much as you are enjoying my Bonds series :D And as for your question, Yes, the Borg do show up, I don't remember if its in book 6 or 7, but they do indeed show up :)
DonningTheCowlOfTheDarkKnight X2 - Thank you for your review, Raman has the power to do anything :D There are very few chapters left now, only 2 after this one so I hope you enjoy them as well
That is everyone, so not much rewriting for this chapter either, the major thing that I changed was the outcome of the Sasuke/Naruto battle, the original had Sasuke win, but I felt since in this story Naruto is a Jonin and since he is allowed to use his Chakra he should have the edge over Sasuke, if only slightly :) I also cut out the petty bickering at the end, I didn't feel like Starfleet officers would act that way so I cut it out, although Monroe still took a minor jab at Ray ;)
So I hope you guys enjoy this newest chapter!
Book 1 Star Trek Predator: Hidden Planet Konoha Chapter 10 - War Games
Both teams had now set up their bases
"Alright people, I have never lost to Ray before and I am not about to start now" Monroe told his team
"This really reminds me of an old war movie I saw the other day" Tom said as he observed the team set up defenses
"Alright Naruto and Tom you two are with me, we will go on ahead of our main force, a smaller group can better get past the enemy defenses to get the flag. You ten will go on ahead and distract them, making them think that your trying to find their flag, you four will stay here and guard our flag" Monroe explained his plan and strategy as everyone nodded their heads stating they understood "Alright, lets move out"
Monroe and his team were now in the middle of the forest trying to find the other teams flag "This planet makes it hard to see anything with all the damn vegetation" Monroe commented as he tried to look around
"Yeah but on the other hand it means they will also have a hard time seeing us as well" Tom stated
"It also gives them places to hide and ambush us, I will see if I cant find anything" Naruto said
"Wait Naruto!" Monroe tried to stop but him Naruto had already almost reached the top of the tree "Never mind" He said with a sigh
Tom Grinned "Look at him go, he is so quick" Tom said as he could barely keep up with Naruto's speed as he reached the top
"I can see their base from here, they have three people guarding it however I think a fourth one is hiding. I don't see Sasuke so he must be out here somewhere, he is our greatest threat, you should leave him to me" Naruto reported back from the top of the tree
"We work as a team Naruto, if we encounter him we face him as a team, plus Ray probably has him on his scouting party just like how I took you with me" Monroe told him
"I'm going to scout ahead and report back" He began jumping away from tree to tree at lighting speed
Monroe tried to stop him "Naruto wait!.. Damn it where did he go?" He said letting out another sigh
"So what now?" Tom asked
"We don't have any choice, we move in the direction he was heading in" Monroe answered
Meanwhile Ray was leading his own team "You sure their base is in that direction?" Ray asked
"If I told you I saw their flag over there then that means yes" Sasuke answered back
"Alright guys, I want us to storm the place from all sides, don't give them any chances to react" Ray ordered
"You could just leave it to me, I can get that flag without them even seeing me" Sasuke said with a cocky grin
"I remind you that you are not allowed to use your powers except against Naruto" Ray told him
"I don't need to use chakra to be a ninja, you guys just wait here while I go in and get the flag for us" Sasuke said
He jumped up in a tree and like Naruto jumped away from branch to branch at lighting speed "Damn it, follow him!" Ray ordered his team
Monroe had lost track of Naruto "Damn it, where did he go?" He said while looking around at the trees for any signs of his lost team member
"He said the base was in this direction so I can only assume he kept on going that way" Tom pointed out
Naruto was sitting in a tree above them with his trademark grin
"You guys wouldn't last long as ninjas on my planet" he commented "I said I was going to scout ahead, I found most of their locations except for Sasuke. I am assuming he is using his ninja skills like me" Naruto informed them
"Well good work I guess, so what's the best road we can use?" Monroe said slightly annoyed that Naruto had run off but still wanted to win
"Most of their forces are in one group lead by your XO, I was hoping to find Sasuke with them but he wasn't. If you keep going this way you will eventually run into them so..." However before he could finish his sentence he all of a sudden he stopped talking and stood up, a phaser blast came from out of nowhere and was about to hit Monroe but Naruto jumped from the tree and got him out of the way just in time "Sasuke!" He said as he quickly got back to his feet, however he did not get a response, Monroe was about to say something but Naruto put his hand on his mouth to stop him. This caused Tom to chuckle as he found it amusing that the kid was essentially telling Monroe to shut up "His goal isn't to attack us, he must have just run into us by accident, his objective is our flag!" He said realizing that Sasuke had already left the area "Damn it, look if you keep going in this direction" Naruto said while pointing "You will reach a clearing, it leads straight to their base, I assume you can figure out how to take their flag from that point"
"Hey!" Monroe tried to object
"No time for chit chat I have to stop Sasuke before he takes our flag, no one else would be able to stop him if I don't" And with that said Naruto jumped back up into the trees and started his pursuit of Sasuke leaving Monroe speechless and slightly annoyed
"Heh energetic kid isn't he" Tom said amused at the entire situation
"Damn it! He needs to learn the chain of command! I am the one in charge!" He said venting out a bit of frustration by hitting a tree with his fist
"Yeah but you have to admit that he is right, who else other then him could even slow his friend down?"
"I know but still..." But before he could finish his sentence Tom cut him off
"Plus you should be dead right now" He said reminding him that Naruto had saved him from being shot
"That's what bothers me most! The fact that I was saved by a kid who isn't even a cadet yet!" Monroe answered back in frustration
"Well do we follow his plan?" Tom asked
Monroe once again let out a sigh "We don't have much of a choice, if he says that's the best way, then I have to trust him, lets go" Monroe answered back as they began walking in the direction Naruto pointed them in
Meanwhile back on Voyager
"Captain, I'm detecting a ship dropping out of warp, I think its cardassian but not of any design that we have on record" Harry reported
"Hail them" Chakotay ordered
"No response captain, their shields are up and their weapons armed, captain they have us targeted!" Harry informed them
"Red alert hail them again!" Chakotay quickly answered back, relations with the cardassian were still rocky since the dominion war. The lights on the bridge suddenly dimmed down as the red lights and alert sounded throughout the ship causing the crew to scramble to their battle stations
"Still no response...Wait" As Harry finished his sentence the screen showed a Cardassian Gul
"We claim these systems in the name of the Cardassian Union, leave now Federation or be destroyed" He said in the usual arrogant cardassian tone
"The Federation has already laid claim to these systems and Voyager is one of the Federations most advanced and powerful ships, not to mention one of the most experienced crews. So why don't we both stand down so that we can talk about this dispute" Chakotay told him not backing down
The screen went blank and they fired their weapons, hitting Voyagers shields
"Shields down to sixty percent!" Tactical informed them
"What ?! From just one shot?" Chakotay asked surprised
The Cardassian ship continued to shoot with every shot hitting their mark
"Captain, shields are down!"
"Deploy the armor!" Chakotay ordered, a plate of armor began to deploy covering the entire ship "Return fire!" He added
"I can't sir!" Tactical informed him as he was frantically working his console
"They just fired some sort of beam at us sir" Harry stated to explain as all of the panels on the bridge started to flicker along with the lights throughout the entire ship "They are draining and disrupting our entire power grid, I am trying to bypass and counter" He added
An alarm began to sound on the tactical console "Captain, we are being boarded sir!"
"All hands arm yourselves and prepare to repel the intruders!" Chakotay ordered
Meanwhile Sakura and the rest of the gang were chatting and eating something at the mess hall at the time
"Intruders?" Sakura said not really sure of what was going on
"Finally some fun, think they will let us help?" Suzu asked with a grin as she got up from her chair
"Who cares lets go anyway" Yuki said as the entire group got up and nodded in agreement as they entered the turbolift
"I read about these situations in Starfleet procedures, they tend to normally like to take engineering first when people board ships because security is weak due to the fact engineers don't have weapons and it takes a few minutes for security to get down there, also they can shut down the power to the ship and control everything from there" Suzu explained
"Then lets go, deck nine main engineering" Sakura ordered the turbolift
"They won't take it while we are there" Yuki said with a grin as she looked forward to some action
Back on the planet Naruto was moving at top speed from branch to branch trying track down Sasuke, but he figured he should just go right for the base since that's where Sasuke should be heading
"I won't let you win Sasuke!" Naruto thought to himself
Meanwhile Tom and Monroe were hiding and avoiding the patrols from Ray's group that was heading towards their base
"It seems like both our main forces are going to meet up soon" Tom commented
"Yeah, its too bad we won't be in the fight, I hope my team wins" Monroe told him
"Well I hope Naruto wins or else were screwed" Tom added
"Somehow I didn't plan for this to happen" Monroe stated
Tom grinned "You brought not only the two of the best fighters from the group, but the two proudest and rivals of each other" he said not really sure what Monroe expected
"But I was told there best friends, brothers even" He said slightly surprised by the news
"They are, however they just like to compete against each other. I have been keeping an eye on them, they will be great officers one day. Naruto is fun to be with and is always full of energy" Tom said genuinely enjoyed their presence on Voyager
They continued until Monroe spotted something in the distance "Hey look that's their base" Monroe said as he took out some binoculars
"Exactly where Naruto said it would be" Tom added
"I can see the thee Naruto told us about" Monroe said as he marked each of them in his tactical display
"I believe he also said he thought a forth one was hiding" Tom reminded him
"Yeah, I think he is right" However before he could continue he was interrupted by a voice over the comm
"Vo...to..team...attack...boarded..." A very staticky voice came over the comm that sounded like Chakotay
Tom tapped his comm badge "Voyager come in..." all he got was silence
"What's going on" Monroe asked
"I don't know but whatever it is I don't like it, we have to get back to voyager" Tom said worried
Back at the other base Sasuke had landed on the ground and was about to take out the guards however Naruto came from behind and almost kicked him in the back, however Sasuke had heard him and dodged it "Nice try" Sasuke said with a cocky grin
Naruto fired his rifle at Sasuke who dodged it as Sasuke ran towards a tree and climbed it with speed "You guys stay out of this, he is using his chakra, you won't even be able to touch him so leave him to me" Naruto told the defenders
"Naruto you talk too much" Sasuke said as he fired a shot at him hitting him in the back, however instead of falling over he disappeared in a poof surprising Sasuke "Shadow clone?" Sasuke thought to himself
Naruto came out from above and kicked Sasuke to the ground, he then jumped down and put his foot on Sasuke's back with his phaser pointed to his head with a large grin, just as he was about to shoot Sasuke Monroe's voice came over the comm "This is team leader to all Teams, abort mission, something is wrong on Voyager, all team members return to the Flyer"
"Damn it! And I had him too!" Naruto said frustrated
"What did you say?" Sasuke asked as he was standing next to Naruto with his phaser pointed at his head "Like I said, you talk too much" He added with his cocky grin
"I said I had you" Naruto answered back from behind Sasuke with chakra built up in his hand ready to strike at Sasuke as the one he had aimed at disappeared in a poof of smoke
The defenders were just speechless at what they had just witnessed.
Once everyone had regrouped they all returned to the Flyer "Alright everyone I'm sorry for having to cancel this thing, its a shame because we were just about to take your flag to Ray" Monroe said with a grin causing Ray to frown "Anyway we received a garbled message from Voyager and they are not responding to communications so we are going back up to see what is going on" Monroe explained to them as Tom powered up the flyer to take them back up to space
