Kirk shook his head. He turned to Spock and Emily.

"Is it just me or does Olivia, know more then she's letting on? I think she knows something as to why Claire is hurt so badly and Chekhov, who couldn't hurt a fly if he tried, has only a cut on his cheek," Kirk said thinking.

Spock nodded.

"You may be correct. I believe she does know something. It would be of no use to press her about it now. If she is not telling us, it cannot be relevant to anything going on at the moment," he said quietly.

Kirk nodded.

"Where are the other two Council members?" Emily asked looking around.

Kirk shook his head.

"I don't know. Maybe somewhere in the desert? We can't do much about them right now," he said but Spock shook his head.

"I disagree, Jim. They are the elders of Starfleet Academy. They may not be dangerous physically but mentally they are a threat. We should find them," he suggested.

Kirk shook his head.

"We have bigger things to deal with right now. I have to make sure Claire's okay. I'll meet you guys back on the ship," he said walking towards the ship.

Emily looked at Spock.

"Do you know the Council members that are missing?" she asked curiously.

Spock nodded.

"I know Council member Rogers. A ruthless man of extraordinary caliber. He is as evil as they come I am told," he said and Emily's eyes widened.

"Who told you that?" she asked.

"Olivia," he replied and Emily chuckled.

"Did he fail her in his class back at the Academy?" Emily joked.

Spock smirked slightly.

"Not exactly," he said quietly.

"He was an angry individual that did not take kindly to the word 'no,' apparently," Spock said and Emily's eyes widened.

"Did he hurt her?" she asked carefully.

Spock shook his head.

"Olivia was very capable of taking care of herself. She was quite upset about the whole thing though. We went to report it to Pike who then told the council. It was her word vs. his. It was let go and we have kept our distance from him ever since. It is quite ironic that he is one of the men responsible for what happened. I would enjoy seeing him be apprehended," he said lightly.

Emily smiled.

"Me too," she said.

Suddenly a loud blare came from the other ship. Spock and Emily turned to see what was going on. The ship was lifting off the ground. Kirk saw it too. He ordered the shields to be put up quickly. Council member Rogers smiled evilly from the other starship. He wasn't aiming for the Enterprise. He pressed a button that shot a laser like bullet into the ground sending people flying everywhere. Spock turned to Emily.

"Run," he said and they both took off.

Bullets were coming from every direction hard and fast. Kirk turned to Sulu.

"Fire back Mr. Sulu! Protect the people out there!" he yelled but Sulu seemed to be struggling.

"The weapons switch is jammed sir!" he yelled trying to fix it.

Kirk panicked. Spock and Emily were still out there. Olivia came up from the sickbay where Grayson, T'Ana, T'Pring, Amanda, and Claire were at the moment.

"What's going on?" she asked quickly.

Kirk turned to her.

"Rogers is out in that other ship blasting away at people!" he yelled and that's when Olivia realized Spock wasn't there.

"Spock's still out there?" she asked, her eyes widening.

Kirk nodded.

"With Emily," he said clearly distraught.

Olivia looked back towards sickbay and then towards the ramp.

"Well we can't just leave them out there," she said and Kirk nodded.

"My thoughts exactly," he said lowering the ramp.

They both ran outside.

Spock and Emily were running for their lives. Rogers sat in the captain's chair. He looked at Council member Cane's body on the floor.

"You should have just stuck with the plan Cane. Then I wouldn't have had to kill you," he said chuckling to himself as he pressed the button again sending more people running for safety.

"All we had to do was come here and kill off the remaining survivors of the crash. But of course nothing goes easy! The Vulcans and Repos decided to help them! You had to start growing a conscious! Then that weird light that seemed to turn everyone we were trying to kill into freaking warriors! Luck was just not on our side old friend. But then suddenly it was. We woke up earlier then everyone else. Fate let us get away before the Enterprise crew landed. We hid in this ship when everyone thought we ran for the desert and watched the Enterprise land. We watched the crew search for their friends. And then when that bitch was talking to that little freak of hers, you started going soft on me. You wanted to end it. You idiot. Did you really think I'd let that happen? After all this time?! Just give up like that? I'm sorry old friend. I'm killing every last one of them or I will die trying!" he roared slamming his fist on the button again.

Spock and Emily felt the ground under their feet explode and they went flying into the air. They went tumbling down a steep incline quite a few feet down into a canyon of sorts. Spock hit the ground hard and rolled out onto the sand. Emily followed right after. Their worlds went dark.

Olivia flew across the grounds with Kirk stopping only to take cover behind a large boulder. Kirk turned to Olivia.

"I don't see them!" he yelled over blasts of sand and concrete.

"Me either!" Olivia called back slightly panicked.

"Maybe they took cover somewhere safe?!" Kirk suggested.

"Then why haven't they answered their communicators yet?!" Olivia shot back.

Kirk was panicking.

"We have to keep looking!" Olivia broke him from his thoughts.

"I think we should take out Rogers first!" he yelled and Olivia nodded.

They both split up and ran for the starship. Olivia rounded one side and jumped threw a Jefferies tube. Kirk rounded the other side and went right up the ramp. Rogers took out his phaser.

"I'm not going down without a fight!" he roared.

He was out of his seat now and the firing had stopped. Vulcans and Repos were helping the young cadets all get on the Enterprise, whose ramp was open and welcoming. Olivia was underneath the bridge in the sickbay. Kirk was leaning behind a wall. It was the only wall dividing him from Rogers.

"We can talk about this Rogers," Kirk said trying to compromise.

"I'm not talking to you, I'm done talking to anyone!" he yelled hiding behind a desk on the bridge.

Olivia heard the yelling and walked further inside the sickbay. She listened.

"Come on Rogers. We don't have to have it be this way. Why are you so angry? Is this all really for new technology?" Kirk asked trying to get him talking.

He saw Cane's body on the floor. Rogers chuckled evilly.

"Captain Kirk new technology was only part of it! The other part was you! You and your ship! You would have never given up that ship! You would have fought and you would have won because of your high ranking status as a captain! They respect you! If I had heard the words, 'But Captain Kirk said,' one more time I would have taken a phaser to my mouth!

Kirk rolled his eyes.

"Would have saved me some time," he mumbled.

"What was that?!" Rogers yelled and Kirk cleared his throat.

"Nothing," Kirk said innocently.

"What's so wrong with the Enterprise and her crew that you want new ships so bad?" he asked and Rogers glared.

"It's a new day Kirk. A new age is coming! We have to keep up with the times!"

Olivia stood still and looked up. The yelling was right above her now. She pulled out her phaser.

"I'm done talking to you! Come out from behind that wall and face—ah!" he yelped and dropped to the floor.

Kirk peeked out from behind the wall to see Rogers out cold on the floor. He frowned.

"What the—" but jumped when Olivia appeared behind him.

"—I got him," she said grinning.

Kirk laughed.

"From below? Nice shot. It was on stun right?" he asked nervously.

Olivia rolled her eyes.

"Unfortunately," she said and Kirk grinned.

"Let's go find Spock and Emily," he said and they headed out after calling a team to pick up Rogers.

Spock's eyes opened slowly. Everything was blurry and pain ran throughout his body. He lay in the sand for awhile trying to regain his senses. He knew he had at least four bruised bones and a busted lip. He could taste the copper on his tongue. Everything was quiet. He didn't know how far he fell or where he was at the moment. Then it dawned on him. He wasn't the only one who fell. He forced himself to sit up. He immediately grabbed his side. His head was spinning but he fought through it. He saw her lying on the floor and managed to stumble over to her.

"Emily?" he asked and she immediately stirred.

"S-Spock?" she asked slowly rising.

He helped her to her feet carefully. She stumbled and fell into his chest. His hands quickly caught her sides and steadied her.

"We had quite a fall Emily. Please take your time," he said and she nodded pulling away.

Spock's eyes widened as she did. His hand was covered in blood.

"Spock, you're bleeding," she said frowning.

Spock swallowed hard.

"I do not bleed red blood," he said staring at his hands.

There was so much. It was dripping off his fingers. He forced himself to meet her eyes.

"Emily—" he started but stopped as he realized her face had become pale.

"I-I don't feel so good," she said as her eyelids drooped.

Spock walked towards her and she fell into his chest coughing.

"You are hurt," he stated watching as blood came from her lips.

Emily gripped her side painfully. Spock noticed the small pool of blood beneath her feet growing. His eyes widened.

"Emily, this could not have been from the fall alone," he said quickly, trying to find the spot where all the blood was coming from.

Emily tried to take a deep breath but it came out heavy and ragged.

"I-I think one of t-the b-bullets got m-me," she said quietly.

Spock laid her down carefully and ripped the side of her uniform open. He winced. He removed his blue uniform shirt painfully aware of the burning in his side. He left his black undershirt on and pressed his blue one to her wound applying pressure. Emily looked around.

"I'm a little c-cold," she said dazed.

Spock shook his head. He didn't know what to do. He hated feeling helpless. He had tried the communicator before they fell but no one had answered. He pulled it out. He would try again.

"Jim will be here soon," he said trying to give her some comfort.

He turned on the communicator.

"This is Spock to Jim, are you there? Spock to anyone, can anyone hear me?" he asked still holding his shirt tightly to Emily's side.

He waited. The silence was deafening.

"I'm s-scared," she whispered finally meeting his eyes.

Spock's eyes saddened.

"You should not be afraid. We will get through this together," he said offering her a small smile.

Emily smiled back slightly.

"You got b-better at the whole c-comforting t-thing," she said and Spock raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going t-to d-die, r-right?" she said smiling sadly.

Spock stared at her for a long moment.

"Its o-okay t-to s-say yes S-Spock. You d-don't have t-to lie on m-my account," she said her eyes tearing.

Spock was at a loss. He kept pressure on her wound but the blood wasn't stopping. He wasn't a doctor.

"You don't have much time," he said quietly.

Emily nodded quickly as a tear fell from her eyes. Spock's chest hurt.

"This is why I am going to carry you back. I need you to keep pressure on your wound for me. I will get you to Jim," he said and Emily smiled.

"T-Thanks," she whispered and Spock lifted her up carefully.

On the Enterprise…

Kirk smacked his communicator.

"Why isn't it working?! We've searched the whole god damn area! Where the hell are they?!" he shouted upset.

Olivia stood by the ramp watching the desert. She was scanning. Where were they? Bones was still down in the sickbay working on Claire. She was in bad shape and flat lined on the table twice. Her chances weren't looking good. Olivia shook her head. She couldn't think like that. No one was dying. Think positive. Her eyes caught something in the desert. She moved closer. Her eyes widened.

"James!" she yelled and took off down the ramp.

Kirk didn't ask any questions. He flew down after her.

On New Vulcan…

Spock saw two small blurs running towards him. His vision was getting blurry. His body ached. But he had to get her to the sickbay. He had to try. A searing pain shot through his side. He stopped short falling to one knee. He held Emily close. He had gotten the bleeding to stop. She looked at him.

"It's okay Spock…rest," she said offering him a tired smile.

Spock shook his head. Maybe he was a bit more hurt then he thought.

"I must continue. We are almost t-there. I can see them," he said brushing hair out of her face when suddenly pain exploded in his head.

He would have dropped her had he not at the last minute decided to lay her down carefully. She took his hand and his other went to hold his head. He had accidentally mind melded with her when he brushed her hair back. The pain brought tears to his eyes and made him extremely dizzy. He looked up at the shadowy figures running his way and then his whole world went black.

Still have finals going on but I just couldn't resist. ^_^ Please review if you can as always and thanks for staying with me!!! ^_~
