T'Slash: Hey everyone I am back and I have bad news. See I start summer school later today…after I get some sleep and I just found out that in Political Science I need to do 15 papers and 5 debates in 6 weeks. Then I also have my Art History class and also my weekend art classes and then my Friday T'Slash is dragged by family to see a play. So all in all…I don't know when I will update! I am so sorry ahead of time if it takes weeks but school comes first but I will try and find some free time, I promise!
Disclaimer: See last chapters, it was actually meant for this one.
Well I killed this one all by myself and if my grammar is off or something…I am half asleep right now. I am so tired that vacation did nothing and it was hell…well enough complaining. On with the story
Songs of a Drunk Captain
Chapter 25: In the Dark of Space
"Nero," Jim spat, glaring up at the Romulan. His mind buzzing as he tried to figure out how this mad man was still alive. Still in this world, alive and unharmed. As if he hadn't been engulfed in a black hole. "How are you still here? I watched you die?"
"Captain Kirk, didn't anyone tell you that the villain never gives up his secrets. You are here for one reason, and only that one reason," Nero said, a twisted grin on his face as he walked closer to his prisoner, gently stroking his cheek, laughing as Jim flinched away. "I take it that what happened in my time has also occurred here."
"What are you talking about?" Jim snarled, eyes flashing dangerously as he lunged at Nero, the chains pulling him back.
"Your love for that half-breed, Spock. Your counterpart felt the same way. In fact the two were bonded for many years, I heard that they are together again after decades of separation," Nero said, hands wrapping around an empty bottle, "how sweet."
Jim remained quiet, silently observing Nero as he worked on the cuffs, trying to figure out a way to escape.
"Did you know that it was because of Spock that my home was destroyed? My whole family was whipped out. I had a wife, she was pregnant with our child, he would have been our first born but Spock had to go and ruin it all!" Nero yelled, throwing the bottle just above Jim's head, the shattered glass falling, cutting his skin. "He may have his lifemate back but I will never see mine again."
"So you said before, I heard it all from Admiral Pike. You know the Captain who escaped your clutches," Jim asked sarcastically, glaring at the man before him. How can those three be working for him? They were supposed to be my friends! Jim thought, glaring as the door opened, Kallista, Aki, Terry, Ayel and a few other Romulan's entered, all smiling brightly.
"I bet you are wondering how these three, your friends came to be on our side," Nero said, walking over to the three, gently caressing their faces, the smiled up at the mad man, their Starfleet uniforms gone, replaced by Romulan garments. "It is quite simple; they were always on my side. I have raised them since they were children. Did you ever wonder why they befriended you so quickly? It was their orders."
"So you brain washed them as children," Jim spat, glaring.
"Brain washing is such a negative term. I rather think of it as…good parenting. After all they learned that if not for Spock, your lover, they would have lived out normal lives instead of the lives they have now," Nero said, stepping back in front of Jim, just out of his reach.
"You fucking bastard," Jim growled, struggling even harder against his chains, trying to reach the Romulan who had destroyed so many lives. "Why are you doing this?"
Nero grinned, his black orbs locking with Jim's as he started pacing in front of him, a holo projector in his hand.
In the dark of space I was awake and furious
For the nightmare I had was as true as could be—
It killed me out of my love—
A Romulan breaking to bits!
Then I looked to the side
And the nightmare was…SPOCK!
Nero yelled, throwing the holo device in front of Jim, Spock's features appearing, staring blankly back at Jim. Jim stood there, watching as Romulus was destroyed, watching as Nero's wife was killed. All things he had already seen before, things he knew were true but an accident.
"Spock didn't want Romulus to be destroyed! He was trying to help!" Jim yelled furtively, trying to capture anyone's attention. Trying to tell them the truth, the truth they refuse to listen too.
I was once just a peaceful miner of Romulus.
When Spock failed to save it he made a mistake!
My decision will make all the Vulcan's pay
But one little half-Vulcan got away!
Little Spock, beware,
Nero is BACK!
Nero said, holding his hands above his head, the light's fixating on him as the room went black. The hologram disappeared, leaving Jim alone in the darkness.
Jim watched as Kallista, Aki, Terry, Ayel and the other Romulan's stepped forwards, all smirking as they focused on Jim, on Spock's face, now besides him.
In the dark of space, Nero will find him
In the dark of space just before Vulcan!
Terry, Aki and Kallista strolled forwards, smiling as a hologram of Spock appeared his body bloody and broken. Fingers missing and, from what Jim could see, half of Spock's pointed ears were chopped off. Kallista smiled as she drew a phaser, shooting it as Spock, laughing as half of his fingers were shot off.
Nero walked over, hitting Kallista before he took her phaser, shooting the image of Spock in the head, hissing the words.
Revenge will be mine
When Vulcan is gone!
In the dark of Space
He'll be dead!
No, Jim thought, his face paling as he watched Nero take the phaser and aim it at where Spock's heart was located. "No Nero you can't do that! You already destroyed Vulcan! You already made them all pay!"
"Not yet," Nero said, shooting Spock thought the heart, laughing as his body crumbled, dead onto the floor. The ground stained green with blood. Jim watched as the image flickered and died, leaving a dead Romulan in its place, a hole were his heart should be.
That could have been Spock, Jim realized, tears shining in his eyes, a fury he has never known taking effect, making him redouble his efforts to escape. I will NOT allow him to kill Spock.
I can feel that Spock is coming closer
Load the weapons and aim it at that planet!
As he comes closer to me
I'll see him pay for his mistake!
Jolan tru, Ambassador Spock, farewell!
Jim watched, horrified, as Nero replayed the events of that day. The day that Vulcan was destroyed. The day millions of innocents died. All by this man's hand. This Romulan's hand.
He will pay for all the crimes he has done. For all the lives he has cost, Jim thought venomously. I will not allow him to hurt Spock or T'Pock anymore than he already has.
In the dark of space fear will strike him!
Fear is the least of his worries!
In the dark of space Nero will plan!
Aki, Terry and Kallista laughed, watching as the dozen of ideas of how to kill Spock passed around them. Each one continued till the inevitable end. Spock's death.
Jim stood their frozen, arms hanging limp from his chains, face pale as he watched Spock die in front of him multiple times. One image was of him killing Spock, while he was under Nero's control.
Soon he will see that failing me was wrong.
In the dark of space
He'll be dead!
Nero laughed, firing it at another image of Spock, this one standing right before Jim. Jim screamed as the energy beam sailed though Spock's body, the green blood coating Jim's face and cloths.
"STOP this Nero!" Jim screamed, watching as Spock's body dissolved into another of Nero's Romulan crew members. Nero ignored him, dancing around the room, shooting anything that reminded him of Spock. Jim turned towards his friends, pleading with them one last time. "Aki! Kaly! Terry! You have to stop this! This isn't who you are!"
In the dark of space
Nero will find him
Find him!
Ooh!
In the dark of space Vulcan will die.
Doom them!
The three sang, laughing as they ignored Jim's plea. They danced around the dead bodies, following in Nero's footsteps, knowing that he would never harm them. Nero smiled, reaching down and holding up Spock's decapitated head, singing to it.
Spock, here's a sign—
It's the end of your life!
In the dark of space…
In the dark of space…
Nero tossed Spock's head into the air, smiling as Terry, Aki, and Kallista shot it and it exploded, the green blood coating them all.
"I won't let you do this Nero! You hear me!" Jim yelled, pulling at his bonds again, straining to escape, to warn the Enterprise. To warn the Federation. To save Spock. "You are a fucking crazy Romulan! You won't win; the Enterprise will stop you once again!"
Come fellow Romulan's,
Rise for your planet,
Let your feeling shine!
Find him now,
Yes, fly ever faster
In the dark of space…
In the dark of space…
In the dark of space…
He'll be DEAD!
Jim watched in horror as Aki opened the bay window, showing Jim for the first time the massive army of Romulan warbirds outside the Narada. All ready to stand up for their planet from what could very will be their future.
Nero smiled, leaning into Jim's pale face, whispering the find three words once again before stabbing Jim with his spear. The red blood mixing with the green.
"Fuck you, Nero," Jim grunted, forcing the pain back, focusing on the Romulan before him. Nero smiled evilly at him as Kallista, Aki, Terry, Ayel and the few other survivors exited the room. Kallista, Aki and Terry smiled as Jim's screams echoed thought the corridors.
T'Slash: I will leave it up to you what happens next. This was really fun, surprisingly, and evil don't forget evil. Oh I should add that two more songs have been added in, right after this one and a few more will be added…as soon as I find free time. I will kill them when I have free time as well, with Terry's help of course!
Well I don't know what to say about the evil…you will just really have to wait and see what I have planned here. I am not giving anything away. Also I never thought I would get this far, seriously 25 chapters and still going…wow. Thank you all for sticking around for this! Even those of you who just favored it and never review, thank you! Well anyway, don't forget to review and remember might not update for a week or more! (Starts muttering about school and all the fricken homework they assign)
