CHAPTER III
THE FIRES OF KITUMBA
With the pull of the trigger, a bright red beam came out of the disruptor. Once the disruptor hit Kirk his body glowed a bright red and, with a scream, his body turned into a pile ashes. McCoy ran to the ashes and picked them up- James T. Kirk was dead.
"YOU BASTARDS!" yelled McCoy. "YOU BASTARDED KILED KIRK! DIE! DIE YOU BASTARDS!" He then charged at Khan, but he used picked up McCoy and threw him halfway across the room.
"My quest for revenge is complete", muttered Khan. "But for some reason, it doesn't feel so. Maybe it was too easy. Maybe I should've had him Rigellian Interrogation Acid and while being fed to a pack of Targ." McCoy then tired to bite Khan, but one of the Klingon guards slammed McCoy with the back of his disruptor before he could do any damage.
"Leave the poor man alone", said Khan. "He can go back to his friends- there is no hope for them".
"You still have the Enterprise to deal with", said Ensign McKnight.
"You are such an ignorant soul", said Khan. "I have a task force of Klingon Warriors on an intercept course towards the Enterprise, and I will assure you, the Enterprise will be no more. God is now with humans this day- God is now a Klingon". Khan then turned his back to the humans and walked away, but they stood still once a loud buzzing noise. Then, out of nowhere, McCoy, Decker, and Ensign McKnight transported out of the building and into a Klingon Ship.
"Where the hell are we?" asked McCoy.
"Don't worry", said a deep voice. "You are with good friends." Then, Ksia of the noble House of Duras walked up to McCoy and bowed to all three humans. "You are aboard the T'Kallak- my personal bird of prey."
"What about the Klingons down there?" asked Decker.
"We took the place down with a Photon torpedo", said Ksia.
"What about the palace?" asked McCoy. He then turned towards Decker, grimaced, and pointed at Ksia. "And get this man and arm!"
"We didn't have time", said Ksia. "We know the location of the Enterprise and the Klingon force that awaits them, and we must save them."
"I don't care about that", said McCoy. "GET THIS MAN AN ARM!"
"We don't have prosthetic arms here", said Ksia. "It's not honorable".
"It's okay", said Decker. "I wouldn't want to loose my 'honor', now
would I?"
"Apparently not", said Ksia. "Now, I have a surprise to show you".
"What kind of a surprise?" asked McCoy.
"You'll see", said Ksia. Ksia then led them throughout the bird of prey, where they were met with many funny and dirty looks. Then, they were led to a room, which was obviously the sickbay, with only one patient- Kirk.
"JIM!" yelled McCoy, who immediately hugged the captain. "You didn't die!"
"I obviously didn't", said Kirk.
"That's not possible!" yelled Ensign McKnight.
"Actually", said the Klingon Doctor. "It is."
"How?" asked Decker.
"We transported him right before he was hit by the man's disruptor", said the Klingon doctor. "We then transported some ashes so it would appear to the enemy it was real".
"Jim", said McCoy. "Did you hear? About Khan?"
"Yes I heard", said Kirk. "I guess our superhuman friend isn't so super after all. "Before the Klingons blew the place up, they detected some strange signatures coming from Khan- Posatronic signatures."
"What?" exclaimed Decker. "Doesn't that have to do with those android prototypes that those Federation scientists are developing?"
"Yes", said Kirk. "That's what worries me". Then, the room turned dark and began to glow red, and Klingons began to run all over the place. "I take it this is the Klingon version of Red Alert".
"You are correct", said Ksia. "We have reached space station K-10, where the Enterprise supposedly landed. Come on". Ksia then game each of them a Bat'Leth and they all gave him a strange look.
"What the hell are these?" exclaimed McCoy.
"Klingon swords", said Ksia. "Come one, before your friends get burned by the fires of Kitumba."
