The Chaser
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek, I just buy the movies and watch the show.
AN: I would like to give thanks to Lenorathetrekkie for helping me with my story. Oh yeah, go and read her stuff too. This is my first story. I hope you like it.
Chapter one
Honestly, I have never really wanted this job. Saving the universe. Over and over again. It gets really tiring after a while. But then again, I never really had the chance to say no, I don't want this job. Never had the chance to say goodbye to my family and friends. Even if I could have said goodbye, I probably wouldn't have done it.
I know that sounds pretty mean. I mean, who wouldn't want to see their friends and family one last time? If I was still normal, I would have. Now, I am anything but normal. From afar I have seen many of my childhood friends die of old age. I have seen generations upon generations of people being born and dying. For that is the price that you pay when you become immortal. Everyone that you care about eventually dies. Well, everyone except for...
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
A huge convulsion shook my body as I was awoken from my nap. I shook my head, trying to get my mind to focus on the sound. Groggily, I stood up and made my way over to the control panel in my little space ship. By the time I had reached the panel, I had already figured out what the sound meant: I was being hailed.
My fingers flowed across the panel like water as I quickly pulled up information on the ship.
"USS Enterprise, Galaxy class starship, Federation," my computer informed me in its monotone voice.
I froze. Enterprise. Enterprise. The name kept ringing in my head. I silently prayed to whatever God would listen for my safety, for the stories that I have heard of that ship were horrible. Besides, my ship wouldn't stand a chance if a fight broke out. Numbly, I pushed the button to communicate with the infamous ship and her infamous captain: Jean-Luc Picard. The screen in front of me lit up, and I soon saw the captain and his crew staring at me.
"I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. May I ask as to why your vessel is stationed so close to the neutral zone?"
"...I'm afraid I can't answer that, Captain."
He looked at me in an I-know-you're-doing-something-wrong-so-you- might-as-well-confess look. I kept eye contact with him for about ten seconds, and then I let my eyes wander around the rest of the screen. The rest of the crew didn't impress me much, so I again directed my gaze at the captain.
I opened my mouth to speak, but another beeping came from my panel and I knew it was time.
"I'd love to stay and chat, Captain, but I have other important business to attend to. Goodbye." I quickly closed all communication to the huge star ship. "Didn't really care for our little chat, either."
A slightly bewildered Picard turned back to his crew. Will was deep in thought about what had just happened, Deanna seemed confused, Worf was angry (as usual), Data's face held no emotion (like that's a big surprise), Geordi was concentrating on a panel about engineering, and Wesley was too shocked to do much of anything but stare.
Picard turned to Troy. "...well? What do you think?"
"..She's hiding something. And yet..."
Will looked over to Deanna. "Yet what?"
"...I felt, this may sound crazy, but I felt great power in her. Ancient power."
Picard opened his mouth to speak, but Worf shouted, "Captain!"
Alarmed, he turned towards the screen and saw that the small ship had moved into the neutral zone.
"RED ALERT! SHIELDS UP!" Jean-Luc sighed. "The Romulans aren't going to like this."
"Captain," Data's calm voice said. "Something has been launched out of the ship."
Picard turned his attention back to the screen and saw something had indeed been launched. "Magnify," he ordered. Wesley zoomed in on the object as ordered, and upon seeing what it was, everyone gasped.
"It...that...her...that's... impossible!" sputtered Deanna.
Picard could only nod his head, for what he was seeing was very...odd. It was the girl that he had been talking to earlier, only she was in space WITH NO SPACESUIT! AND SHE WAS ALIVE! She was just floating, in space. Her long, black hair floated freely, along with the dark-green trench coat that she was wearing. In one of her hands she was holding a very long staff, and it was pointing directly into the neutral zone.
"...Captain..." Data called. "Something has been launched on the other side of the neutral zone."
"Geordi, what is it?" Picard ordered.
Geordi's fingers flew across the panel he was at as he scanned the new object. "Sir it's...human?"
"Are you certain?"
"Yes sir."
Everyone in the bridge had their gaze fixed upon the strange girl in space. Picard was about to order her to be beamed aboard his ship, when a strange light left her staff and went straight to the other side of the neutral zone.
"...sir, she has locked onto the other human," Worf said.
The girl then drew her staff back, and the person at the other end of the light trail came flying at her. Her small ship positioned itself right behind the girl, and when the other person reached her, they both went inside the ship.
"Geordi, tractor beam, now!" Picard ordered. Geordi quickly activated the tractor beam and was able to lock onto the small ship before it was able to get away.
"Ship is secure, captain," Geordi said.
"Good. Wesley, take us out of here," Picard ordered.
"Yes sir," replied Wesley. He entered in a course and took them into the opposite direction of the neutral zone at warp 5.
"Worf, Riker, Data, you're with me. Let's go see who our new guest is."
AN: Well, that's it for now. Please review. I'll only update if I get reviews. Bye bye.
