Little Wild Child II: Time Traveler
Chapter One
Rescue

Kirk sat in his command chair, looking around at the people in his ship's bridge. He was so bored... They were on their way to some planet to investigate what was causing strange energy fields. This sector of space was so empty.

Suddenly, Sulu turned his head to the Captain. "Captain, picking up a decloaked Romulan battle cruiser." Kirk looked at Sulu, and was abpout to give an order, and then Uhura turned to Kirk. "Captain, we're being hailed by the Romulan battle cruiser." Kirk nodded "On screen leutinant."

The image of a Romulan man, probably in his late thirties, early to mid forties came into view. He had a straight, stern, and cold expression. "Captain Kirk, this is Romulan Captain Fela. Surrender now, or we will attack." Kirk looked at him "We will not surrender."

The viewscreen went blank, Kirk looked at Checkov, and Sulu. "Raise shields Mr. Sulu. Be ready to fire photon torpedoes and phasers on my orders Mr. Checkov." Both men carried out orders given by the Capatin. Kirk looked to Uhura "Uhura, order the ship to red alert." Uhura did so as Kirk looked to Spock. "Spock, do you have any ideas on why the Romulans are in this sector of space?" Kirk asked as the ship took a hit.

"Fire, Mr Checkov!" Kirk called out. Checkov hshot a photon torpedo, and tyhe battle cruiser was hit hard. It obviously just got out of a good beating. Kirk looked back to Spock.

"I have no hypothesis, Captain." Spock said, and turned back to his station. Kirk then looked back at Spock from the VS again. "Spock, scan the ship as well. I want to know if they have any of our people, that may be why." Spock nodded, and began scanning. Kirk then almost fell from his seat as they took another hit.

"Give 'em a phaser blast this time Mr. Checkov." Kirk ordered, Checkov obeyed, and hit the Romulan battle cruiser with a full powered phaser blast. The Romulan vessel then went dead. Even most of it's crew was dead now.

"Captain, I'm picking up a humanoid life-form. It's not Romulan... registers as an Alackian." Spock notified Kirk. Kirk looked to Spock then pressed a button on his chair.

"Mr. Scott... There is an Alackian life-form on the Romulan ship ahead. Beam it aboard, no doubt a hostage." Kirk pressed the comm button again. "Bones, meet Spock and myseld in the transporter room. We may have a wounded hostage." he pressed the button off and looked at Spock.

"How re you so sure it is a hostage, Captain?" Spock asked Kirk as they both walked to the TL. "I'm not sure Spock... I'm running on a hunch..."
