"That's all I can do for now, Kathryn." Admiral McCoy stretched as he began putting away his medical equipment. "It's a good thing that Q made me young again or there is no way I could have treated you while being on my knees for so long.
Captain Kathryn Janeway sat up with a groan. Her face had been peppered by wood splinters, as had her arm and hand. In addition to all that, she had fractured her jaw when she fell. She had been fortunate, though. Her eyes were undamaged, plus the scarring could all be repaired. Unfortunately, until she returned home, she would be on a liquid diet. The admiral had said with the meds supplies he had she would be healed enough to eat solids in two to three days, but she would rather finish the mission and get back to where they had the medical equipment to restore her in about an hour. "Ank ew, ock-or."
"You are going to have to take it easy for a while."
She just looked at him.
McCoy gave her a grin. "Well, at least as much as possible when people or who knows what isn't trying to kill us."
She started to chuckle but stopped immediately due to the pain.
"Rest," he said, in a surprisingly kind, bedside manner and tone.
She lay back down slowly and gingerly. While her face and arm had gotten the worst of the splinters, there had been a few that had managed to lodge themselves into her shoulders and chest. She grunted and pointed over at the prone figure of Kes, hoping that hearing about her would distract her from her own pain.
The young female Ocampa had been on Voyager for a few years after Neelix had brought her aboard. She had adapted to crew life quickly and worked as a medical aide with Voyager's holographic doctor and in the Airponics Garden. Somehow, she had begun to rapidly evolve. Whether this was due to being away from her planet's environment or to the fact that she had been exposed to many different things was unknown. Whatever the reason, she had become very powerful. Realizing she had to go her own way as she began to lose her corporeal form and become pure energy, she used her new-found powers to propel Voyager and its crew over nine thousand light-years closer to Federation space. When Q had called her to be part of his team of Borg hunters, he had been forced to restore her to physical form and had to reduce her powers. When Janeway had been injured, Kes had tried using those powers again. But her body was not able to take the strain and she had been in a coma-state ever since.
"Ah, yes, Kes." McCoy checked his tricorder as it was receiving all the data about her from a small monitoring device above one of Kes's eyebrows. "My most compliant patient. Not like that damn Klingon. He barely let me tend his wounds." He punched the tricorder a few times. "Well, I don't have much to go on since her species anatomy and physiology are not in Starfleet's database. I did get a data download of Kes's medical history from Voyager's holographic doctor before we came here." He let out an exasperated sigh. "Unfortunately, it can't help me tell what is normal for her very much. Q seems to have frozen her partially in her transition phase when she was originally evolving, and I don't think her body likes that. I believe her mind still wants to do things that she could do when she didn't have a body. Her telesynaptic activity is higher than it was when she first joined Voyager, which explains the extremely elevated serotonin levels. It allows her to do some of the things she could before but not much."
Janeway made an impatient 'arms open wide' gesture.
"Basically, she seems to have suffered a stroke and we have to wait for her to wake herself up. There doesn't appear to be any permanent damage but that doesn't mean that there won't be any. I'm sorry."
Janeway, unable to say anything, reached a hand over and touched Kes's shoulder. Remembering something that her mother used to do every night before bed, she began a silent prayer.
A short distance away, Spock and Captain Picard examined the still form of one of those that had attacked them recently: an android. Even though the mechanoid was not functioning, they had taken the precaution to tie it up as thoroughly as they could. They had all been in situations where they had misjudged their captives' chances of attacking them and were doing their best not to repeat past mistakes. Then and only then did they use their tricorders to analyze and process information from the still forms.
"I wish Data was here," commented Picard. "He'd love to examine this android. Many of its components are beyond me, I'm afraid." Spock made no comment, so Picard continued to expound his thoughts. "I think it may even be sentient. Hmm, but why would it attack us?"
Spock looked up from his tricorder. "It's name is 4-LOM. That much I have translated. It appears to work for a being called Jabba the Hutt. This Jabba seems to have removed certain safeguards that usually keep 4-LOM and his kind from killing sentient beings. This was done so that Jabba could send 4-LOM and another bounty hunter… I think the name is Zuckuss, to collect bounties on people, dead or alive."
"Why would this Jabba person send these bounty hunters after us?"
Spock held up a hand as he read something from his tricorder. "Ah, this might explain some things. According to 4-LOM, he and five of his fellow bounty hunters were brought here by a man only known as the Master."
"The Master? Isn't that the title of the man that the Doctor was upset to learn was coming here?"
"Indeed. This Master sent 4-LOM and his fellow bounty collectors specifically on the errand of to find and kill us before we could locate the Borg."
Picard rubbed his chin. "And by taking out the competition, it ensures that Q2 would win his wager over Q; that is if Q2's team is able to stop the Borg."
In the clearing nearby a large elk stumbled into the daylight, its eyes rolling in its head, its tongue hanging out of its mouth. Three large quills could be seen sticking out of its neck leaving small trails of blood.
Ro Laren almost said something as the large creature fell to the ground, but Martok motioned her to be silent.
Spiky covered basketball things rolled out of the woods after the elk. As they reached their target, they unfolded to reveal that they were actually spiny ball-shaped creatures with large mouths, small beady red eyes, and many sharp teeth. The creatures ranged in color from totally black to navy blue. As if on a signal, they all tore into the fallen elk with the fury of a chainsaw, fighting each other for the more savory parts.
"GET DOWN!"
Instantly upon hearing the voice, Martok automatically leaped to the side as a blaster struck where he had been only moments before. Everyone else ducked for cover. Picard tried pulling 4-LOM to cover as well but the unknown voice shouted again. "FORGET THE SYNTHOID! GET TO COVER!" Picard dived to the side, narrowly being missed by more blaster shots.
Boba Fett sent off three more shots in rapid succession before glancing to where the warning shout had come from. A branch swayed slightly about thirty yards from him. Whoever it was was gone now. Either that someone was very fast, or they were cloaked from view. Perhaps even both.
Boba Fett had spent an hour crouching and slowly climbing trees in order to get close enough to get a bead on most of the targets. In less than a second someone had ruined all that. And that someone would pay.
Hearing something flying through the air towards him, Fett leapt to the side, off the tree, and simultaneously ignited his jet pack. A small, dark sharp object spun past him and was lost amongst the tree branches.
On the ground, Martok moved to get a shot at the sniper. "General! Down!" shouted Ro.
Martok ducked. Six quills imbedded themselves into the tree next to him.
Spock, knelling behind a nearby tree, aimed his tricorder at the quills. "Interesting. There is a quick acting sedative and paralyzing ingredients in the quills. Not enough to kill. Most likely it is so the prey is alive and fresh when they feed on it. It would be to our best interest not to be skewered with one."
"You think!" shouted Ro.
"Hold your fire!" said Picard. "Let's see if they move on." Even as he said this, he saw the armored form of Boba Fett fly by and shoot at Sisko who returned fire.
The hungry Krites stared at the humanoids. More had rolled in from the woods to partake of the kill but most of the elk was gone already. They weren't concerned though. There was plenty more food nearby. And they were always hungry.
One of the basketball sized creatures seemed to rally the others. The results were several of the spiny creatures bending over and firing numerous quills at Spock and the others.
"Duck!" cried out Picard.
Martok fired his phaser at one of the creatures who promptly exploded all over his fellow Krites.
"Martok! There was no need to kill!"
Martok continued firing. "I disagree, Captain Picard. And as I am not under Starfleet regulations, I will take that under advisement." Several of the toothy creatures exploded into goo.
"Captain," said Spock, "with the dosage of those quills, in the number that they just fired at us, it would have been lethal."
Picard didn't have time to argue schematics. "Ro! Go help McCoy protect Janeway and Kes!" She moved to comply but had to duck behind a large moss-covered boulder as Fett fired down on them again.
"And somebody stun that sniper!"
As Fett flew past his prey, somebody actually landed on his back and knocked the rifle out of his hands with a surprising amount of strength.
"Just my opinion but I don't think those people appreciate being shot at," said a voice just behind him with a sarcastic tone. The figure deactivated his camouflage circuit in his suit which revealed someone in a black outfit. On top of his hood were long pointed ears. "By the way, I'm Batman."
The Batman did something to Fett's jetpack and they began to fall, but jets from the Dark Knight's feet carried them swiftly to a tree branch where the bounty hunter was slammed into the trunk.
Having disarmed Fett, Batman stepped back from the bounty hunter. "Now be a good little sniper and-"
Fett turned and a cord sprang out from his wrist wrapping around Batman several times. And then it began to constrict. Fett watched the man in black struggle with the cord and was able to note he had what appeared to be a red filled outline of a flying creature embossed on his chest. The man in black fell from the branch and before found himself hanging upside down.
Using a small handheld laser, Terry McGinnis quickly cut the cord enough so that he could use the enhanced strength provided by his battle suit to free himself before Fett could finish him off.
Over thirty feet below them, Spock, Martok and Picard were shooting at any of the spiny creatures that came near.
"Picard!" Sisko shouted. Picard, who had been using 4-LOM as a shield, rolled aside as a ball creature leaped forward and bit into the droid. A small explosion of electricity and organic matter left a small hole in 4-LOM's side along with a few well-lodged blackened teeth.
Spock looked to Picard. "We cannot stay here! They are trying to separate us from the others!"
Picard glanced to where he could see McCoy, Ro and even Janeway firing at the deadly things rolling among the trees.
"Go!" shouted Martok. "I'll cover you!"
They hurried toward McCoy and the others. One of the creatures rolled in front of them and Spock kicked it with all his might sending it soaring into the trees where it stuck against a tree truck in a daze.
After clearing a place for them to duck down, they motioned for Martok to come while they laid down a suppressing fire. The one-eyed Klingon made it halfway before a couple of quills hit him in the side of his chest, a few penetrating all the way through his armor. With a Klingon curse he shot at the offending critter, but it managed to roll away to the cover of the trees while Martok received more quills from different sources.
"Martok! Get out of there!" shouted Sisko.
To their horror, the Klingon fell to the earthen floor out in the open. One of the braver creatures rolled forward and bit into the fallen warrior's thigh meeting some annoying resistance due to the Klingon armor. Martok, half-sedated, drew a long-serrated knife and with a quick turn stabbed the blade deep near where the creature's ear was, instantly killing it.
Sisko, having peeled off a large section of dried bark off a dead tree, used it as a shield as he ran out to the Klingon. On his knees, the Starfleet captain pulled out the nasty looking quills and then with great effort, he managed to get Martok onto his feet and pulled an arm over his shoulder. In this fashion, while yelling encouragement to Martok, he dragged the Klingon toward safety, only dropping the bark shield at the last possible moment. For his effort, Sisko received three quills in his left butt cheek. A look of 'oh crap' appeared on his face before he stumbled and fell just a few feet short of where his companions had bunkered down.
Janeway shot the offending Krite and another next to it as she helped clear a path to Sisko. She switched the setting on her phaser for a lower level that was able to fire multiple shots, almost as fast as a machine gun. The sudden barrage of phaser fire was startling, and actually caused the Krites to pull back, not realizing that those that were hit by the beams of light were now only slightly stunned.
Spock used this distraction to race over to Martok and Sisko, grab an arm of each man, and pulled than as quickly as he dared.
As they reached the cover the others had, McCoy reached over and pulled out the barbed quills from Sisko's backside much to a barely conscious Sisko's chagrin.
"I should have something to neutralize the effects of whatever this is soon," McCoy commented as an appeasement.
Above the ground fighters, Batman and Boba Fett exchanged blows, each learning from having previously underestimating each other. Fett's helmet sensors had been lightly damaged causing a slight visual distortion on the inside of his helmet. Meanwhile, Batman's uniform was charred across his chest effectively disrupting his camouflaging abilities.
The two fighters broke apart and spent a moment regarding the other. Before they could reengage their battle, the tree branch next to Fett exploded.
The ground targets were now better barricaded from the creatures attacking them, so were taking the opportunity to try shoot him down, too. Cutting his loses, Fett leapt into the air and fired his rocket pack.
By the time Batman was able to go after the bounty hunter, he realized that it would be more prudent of him to help the people below him from the carnivorous creatures besetting them. "Man, those critters look like Pac-Man on Joker-Juice," he remarked as he flew down to engage the toothy predators.
PART 2 –
"You just left him there!?"
Rygel shook his head dismissively. "I assure you, young miss, it was they who left me."
"You should have gone with them!" Sheila cried out. Hank held her, both to comfort her as well as to keep her from lashing out at the small alien.
"As I told you before, when your brother left with the other two children, they ran through a wall of dirt. Did you hear me? 'Through it.' After ensuring that those cybernetic people were unable to pursue the children, I came back as fast as I dared to inform you."
Eric was not impressed. "That story is full of hogwash and so are you!"
"Listen," Chiana stepped between them. "I know from experience that Rygel's a manipulative liar." Rygel was about to protest when she continued. "But in his defense, he's too intelligent to make up such a stupid story."
Rygel was about to thank her but decided against it on principle.
"Then where's Bobby?" cried Sheila. Uni, the young white unicorn with the orange mane mewled in agreement with Bobby's sister.
"I told you already," Rygel said with an exasperated sigh.
All of them stood in the deep Sleestak tunnels near the section that had been caved in to block whatever it had been that had been attacking the Sleestak.
Off to one side Presto glanced at Enik, their Sleestak guide. "So do people normally walk through walls here?" He surmised that Enik, being a native here, might have more of a clue as to what may have happened.
"Not in my experience."
"Any clue as to how they may have done it or even may have gone?"
Enik briefly hummed to himself. "Perhaps they stepped into a portal that Rygel couldn't see."
"A portal?" repeated Diana. "Didn't you say that the portals here could go to other dimensions and time periods?"
Everyone was listening now. "They could be anywhere. Anywhen. Literally!" said Eric. "We'll never get him back!"
Diana slapped Eric hard in the back of his head.
"Hey! What-" When he saw the teary look in Sheila's eye to his words and he turned away shamefaced.
"We'll get him back," Hank said, reassuringly.
"How?"
"Why don't you use your magic?" Rygel said sardonically.
"Why you-" Eric aimed a kick at the exiled Hynerian, but Rygel was too fast.
"Wait!" Enik held up a clawed hand. "The little one may be right. Perhaps we can use your magic instruments to find her missing brother."
Sheila wiped away her tears. "But how?"
Enik turned and pointed one of his large claws toward Presto.
"Uh, Enik. I think you might be mistaken," said Presto, feeling embarrassed at being put on the spot.
"No, I am not. I have seen your magical devices and I have determined that yours to be the most powerful, and yet underestimated by all of you."
The Magician pulled the green cloth hat off his head and shook it. "Look, this thing never works right. I've tried numerous times and it never does what I want."
"I believe that is because you have no faith in yourself and your abilities to control the powers contained in the hat," said the Altrusian.
Presto started to shake his head, but Hank stepped over. "Presto, he may be right."
Presto flung out his arm in frustration. "Well, if he is, I still don't see how it helps. If I can't make it work because I don't have faith in my ability to do so, then how am I supposed to use it to find Bobby?"
"There may be a way," said Enik, as he reached down into his side pouch and pulled out a yellow glowing crystal on a string.
"What's that for?" asked the nervous Magician.
"I believe the term you use is called 'hypnosis'."
"What? No way! Erik would have me thinking I was a chicken!"
"No, I wouldn't," responded the Cavalier with a tone of indignance. "I'd much rather see your duck impression." He burst out laughing at his own witticism.
"Eric, stop." Sheila turned to Presto with a desperate look. "Please, Presto. For Bobby and me?"
Presto glanced at the yellow crystal hesitantly. "Ah, well alright, but keep Eric's suggestions to himself."
A few minutes later Presto had fallen into a deep trance and Enik lowered the yellow crystal. "Presto," said Enik. "Do you understand what we are asking you to do?"
With a quiet, mellow voice Presto answered. "You want me to use the hat to find Bobby."
"Yes," agreed Enik, "now I-"
"Wait!" said Diana. She leaned close to Presto. "Presto, listen to me. You are a very powerful magic user. You are very confident of your abilities."
Presto stood up straight and thrust back his shoulders. A confident smile appeared on his face.
From the back a snicker was heard. "This is better than having him think he was a duck."
Diana continued on but shot Eric a warning glance. "Now, Presto. We want you to use your magic hat to find Bobby and help us bring him back safely."
"A simple matter, my dear; at least it is for the great and mighty Presto!" the red head said with a bow. The showman in him seemed to take over thanks to the hypnotic suggestion. "Nothing up my sleeve," he said, as he dramatically pulled back each green sleeve. Then, taking the hat from his head, he began a small chant while waving his fingers over the open glowing hat.
"Bobby has gone on some awful flight, now show the way back for him; hat, shed some light!"
A blast of white light burst out of the hat, curved away from Presto's hand and then dove between Chiana and Eric. It struck the earthen wall of the tunnel while flooding the passageway with excess light and a slight roaring sound.
Enik faltered due to the sudden light and the few Sleestak that had followed them had to back away due to their light sensitive eyes. Even the children had to use their hands to block some of the light as they tried to see.
"Where is he!" shouted Sheila, trying to be heard over the slight roaring, even as the light continued to pour out of Presto's hat and strike the wall.
"Just… give Presto's magic a chance. It might take a few minutes," reasoned Hank, as he squinted into the light for a sign of anything. Next to him, Uni mewed in worry for his friend.
The roaring continued for a minute and then another. Everyone, except Presto, was beginning to wonder about the futility of the experiment when three children suddenly rushed out of the light – one of which was Bobby.
"They're coming! They're coming!" cried the tall, thin girl.
Bobby turned and took up a fighting stance with his wooden club raised and glowing.
Presto closed his hat. "Nonsense. No harm shall befall you while-"
Four massive subterranean creatures erupted through the sides of the tunnel walls. They were slug-shaped and varied between thirty to twenty feet long and were about six to five feet in width. There was no face to speak of, no eyes or nose, just a massive beak that appeared to be armored and open in three sections. As the beaks opened, each mouth revealed three serpent-like tongues that snaked out seeking with a reach over ten feet in length. Each tongue-head seemed to have a mouth of their own to bite with as well as horns.
Eric used his magic shield to create a mystic barrier to protect Chiana and Rygel from one of the questing tongues. "What the hell are those things!?"
"Does it matter?" asked Diana, the Acrobat, who whacked at the prehensile tongues with her staff, trying to distract it from Sheila, the Thief, who was pulling on her mystic hood to make herself invisible.
Hank, the Ranger, fired repeatedly at one of the monsters that was concentrating its efforts on trying to get to Bobby, the Barbarian, but his energy arrows bounced off its armored beak, only irritating the monster.
"Someone get True and Uly out of here!" shouted Bobby.
True, the girl, who was holding the barely awake and shaking form of Uly, was shrieking and kicking at one of the nearing tongue heads. Bobby smashed the offensive tongue-head into a gory smear on the tunnel floor just before it was able to grab Uly's foot. The result enraged the pained, massive beast.
Uni charged forward and speared one of the long tongues with her horn. The tongue tendril flexed in pain resulting in the young unicorn being tossed away where a surprised Enik caught her mostly by default because the small filly was flying straight at him.
Bobby, outraged, charged forward, knocking the remaining two tongues aside and then struck a blow with his glowing club to the main body of the beast. It flew up and over about six feet into the air and then crashed down again on a large stalagmite, spearing it. It's remaining tongues quivered in its death throws, knocking Bobby away.
Sheila, invisibly, rushed forward to her brother, but one of the other graboids, which do not have eyes, sensed her and used one of its long tongues to wrap around her legs. She screamed.
"Sheila!" Hank wanted to shoot the tongues they seemed to hold her but didn't dare since she was invisible, and he didn't want to accidentally shoot her. Hearing her voice to one side, Hank pulled back on his bow and willed all the energy he could into the arrow. Then he let it fly straight down the monster's gullet.
The result was the creature exploding into flying gore that flew everywhere.
Chiana, sick of hiding behind Eric's shield, rushed over to Sheila, who had managed to take off her hood to make herself visible again. The Nebari female picked up to hand-sized rocks and smashed them down on the still semi-constricting graboid tongues until they fell off the young woman.
"Hmm," said Presto, as one of the great beasts lumbered toward him. He wiggled his fingers over his magic hat again. "Since I don't have a pistol, let's just turn you into crystal."
Smoke poured out of the green glowing hat towards the oncoming graboid. And where the smoke touched the underground predator, it began to quickly crystalize.
The final graboid, who had been sparring with Diana, suddenly realized that its hunt mates had been destroyed. Having sense enough to flee, it turned and quickly burrowed away through the wall it had recently just emerged from.
"That's right!" shouted Eric. "You better run!"
"Ha! Ha! We showed them!" said an exuberant Rygel.
The Caviler looked down at the small alien. "We? We? You just hid behind my shield!"
Rygel looked up at Eric. "So did you."
Flummoxed, Eric decided to drop the issue. "Hey, Presto! Good job, man!" He slapped the Magician hard on the back.
Presto fumbled for his glasses. As he placed them back on his face, he looked at Eric. "Hey, what happened here?"
Eric was shocked. "You don't remember?"
Presto adjusted his glasses as he looked around at the disarray of the passageway. "Did I do that?"

Original AuThOr'S NoTeS: 10/27/2007
I thought the Critters vs. Q's Star Trek team would be an interesting addition, especially with Boba Fett trying to kill them as well. Then I thought about someone going against Boba Fett. I'd seen a number of the Batman vs. Boba Fett debates before on the Internet and disagreed with a lot of the results of Boba Fett winning. Then I wondered what if Batman had futuristic weaponry, which led me to think of Batman Beyond, where Terry McGinnis has been allowed to become the next Batman under Bruce Wayne's tutelage. I also remembered that when I started Part 8 that we were heavily leaning toward Saturday morning sci-fi cartoons. Well, Batman Beyond definitely qualifies. Hope you liked the results.
Now I did mention that Uly and True, from the TV show Earth 2, had said they had run into the Critters (Krites) in an earlier adventure before finding Bobby, so they have already been mentioned as somehow arriving in the Land of the Lost.
Now as for one of the kids running through dirt like it was air, if you haven't seen Earth 2, then I recommend it. Set in the future, Earth had become a very hostile environment to live in because of all the pollutants and such. This being the case, more and more kids were being born in orbit around Earth but also more and more of them were weak and would not live past ten or so. Uly mother led a group to find another planet to relocate on and hopefully find something to save her child. Instead, the Terrans, the inhabitants of this planet, found them. The Terrans had the ability to move through the ground like it was air, and sensing something wrong in Uly, they took and made him somewhat like them, saving his life in the process.
As for the Graboids, if you didn't recognize them, either you haven't seen the movie Tremors which had several sequels and even a short TV series, or I just didn't do a good enough job of describing them.
Updated AuThOr'S NoTeS: 1-20-2022
This was a short one, but was a lot of fun! I think more people should try and write a crossover. It might surprise you.
Also, just wanted to say, this is a rewrite. I have changed some of the fighting and hope to even add a few characters, which might be signs of my senility. I am mostly shamed by the bad spelling and a sentence structure. I can't believe I missed that, and worse, left it up for years for other people to see. Shame! Shame! Oh well, we can only try to strive to do better, right?
