C7 FS: Call to the Hunt

A/N: I know Shinzon, oh sorry, Renee is supposed to be all good, but he is still Shinzon after all. And someone has taken something that is his. They took his one true love (Allisa), his ex-girl friend (Paulera) and a girl he thought to have an affair with when he first met her (Ba'el).

The Enterprise

Shinzon stood at the door of the room and watched everyone inside. He saw the two Vulcans plotting scenarios and plans. Worf was punching buttons and barking at security officer on different channels. Picard and Riker were almost whispering with Geordi and Data about the hypothesis they formed. Troi, Beverly and Wesley were standing at a wall console plotting about hand held scanning devices and detectors placed on all transporters. Clintor, Janeway and Adije were scanning reports from the surface and the checkpoint at the exit of the Briar Patch.

Janeway walked over to Picard and pulled him to the side. "Jean-Luc, I just received a report that the transport taking Stupinshin to his court martial had an accident. He was killed along with three others."

Picard leaned forward to whisper to Janeway. "He may have been causing problems on my ship when I was still the captain of the Enterprise, but it saddens me to hear about his death. How is his wife?"

Janeway blinked a few times then turned back to Picard. "She was deployed to another post, but she left Star Fleet when her husband was killed."

They were plotting to do the things they could. Shinzon seen their determination and felt their resolve to find the missing women. He touched his medallion and tried to feel where his woman was. With no luck, he knew the people in the room were doing what they could and walked out. He stormed to his old quarters only to find that Troi was using it as a garden for helping her patients. He then skulked to Transporter Room 3.

Shinzon ran headlong into someone and both people stumbled for a second. Shinzon peered daggers into the eyes of Sergio. "Watch where you're going?"

Sergio was stunned to be face to face with who he knew was Shinzon. "I am trying to get to this secret meeting they are having. You need to stay out of my way."

Shinzon admired the boldness he seen in Sergio that he had no idea was there before. "I just came from that meeting. They are doing everything they can. You need to leave them alone, so they can find the women."

Sergio's face blazed with crimson fire in a heated anger. "Do not tell me what to do, Shinzon. You look like someone has 'SHI*-ON your head, no wait, that's hair. Out of my way, now Shitz-on!"

Shinzon flashed with anger and raised up his right hand. He used the telekinesis of his medallion, given to him from Adije and Picard, which helped heal him from his temporal-RNA problem. Sergio was raised into the air about a foot off the ground and slammed to the wall. Shinzon strolled over to him and flipped one of his fingers. This caused Sergio to strangle for a moment then he was released to the floor.

Shinzon blazed with a voice he remembered using when he spoke to Picard a long time back about echoes and the voice, "Never insult me again, human or it will be the last breath you ever draw." He then saw Sergio huddle on the floor with tears in his eyes.

Shinzon heard him whispering, "Paulera my love, where are you?"

Shinzon still felt annoyed with the man, but could not blame his audacity a moment ago. He too was in turmoil. "I did not mean to wound you. Be comforted, they are doing everything they know to do."

Sergio stood up to his feet and grabbed Shinzon by the collar as he pulled him to his face. "You're so smug. It's not your woman out there with some psycho taking her to god knows where and doing god knows what with her!"

Shinzon dug his fingers into the shirt Sergio was wearing and ripped little places where his nails made contact. He pulled him even closer. "Yes, it is. They have her."

Sergio tried to pull away as Shinzon was drawing blood from his shoulders. "Paulera is mine now. We love each other and are to be married next year. How dare you to presume to still claim her as your own."

Shinzon pinned him to the wall with trickles of Sergio's blood dripping on his hands. "You idiot. They took my Allisa too!" With that, Shinzon let him go and stepped back.

The veins on his neck were bulging as the thought of some mad man harming his delicately kind Allisa burned in his mind. The woman who had saved him from the He** that was his existence and showed him what it was to truly love with your entire heart was gone. Shinzon started turning where he stood becoming completely lost in his rage. Sergio watched him knowing now that his own pain and Shinzon's were the identical.

Shinzon clenched his fists and flexed his arms. The furry consumed him as he raised his face up to the ceiling and let out a tremendously agonized gut-wrenching cry. The force of his emotions with the power of his medallion shook the entire ship momentarily as the dampeners strained to control the trembling of the ship. Shinzon's heart felt as if it were bleeding every drop out on the floor as he heard his own voice in his ears. He dropped to his knees and pressed his fists to his face smearing Sergio's blood and his own where his nails dug into the flesh of his palms.

In the same instant back in the conference room, Worf was losing his control as well. He was talking to a security officer over a channel and did not like what he was hearing. His sensitive Klingon ears ready for the hunt heard a roar in the distance. Worf rose to his feet, slammed several glass objects including a water pitcher to the ground, and added his own voice to the raging call of the other. Everyone in the room watched as they heard Worf's voice mingle with another's from out in the hall as the ship shook.

Worf raged out of the room and everyone followed him. Within a few seconds they came across Shinzon kneeled on the floor with a slightly bloody Sergio leaning against a wall.

Picard stepped forward. "Worf, control yourself. Shinzon, Sergio? What is the meaning of this?"

Sergio's eyes slowly met with Picard's. "We understand one another."

Picard and Riker remembered that when Shinzon was introduced back to the officers of the Enterprise. Worf and Shinzon had to fight and get bloodied in order to become allies. And so it was with both of the men who's women were taken from them.

Shinzon rose to his feet with notable blood marks on his hands and face. "Do what you can to find out how they were taken. The Zabre is near. I am leaving to find where they have gone."

Beverly who was in the back of the group handed a scanning devise to Spock. He held it for a moment and nodded his head yes. He in turn handed it to Troi. She took a few steps forward toward Shinzon. She held out the device that could scan for the missing women's gene alterations. "You have said before that you are sorry for what happened between us and with the Remans and the Enterprise. I felt in your heart that you were sorry for how you behaved. You said that you owed be personally for what happened between us." Her eyes filled with tears and Riker placed a steady hand on her shoulder. "Take this to find them and all will be forgotten. You find our treasures and bring them home whatever the cost."

Shinzon was pleased to hear that Troi, who had hand picked Allisa to take her place on the Enterprise as ship's counselor when she left, had finally forgiven him of mentally invading Troi's mind to have access to her body.

Shinzon took the device and glared into Troi's usually tranquil brown eyes. His voice came out in an almost whisper of the tip of a blade. "It will be done." He then glanced at Picard, "Some things are worth dieing for, aren't they Jean-Luc?"

"Yes, some things are." Picard answered the challenge.

Picard peered into the mirror image of himself within his clone's eyes. Then he heard a voice coming from behind him. It was Janeway, "Do what you must do. I will turn it in as a top clearance mission."

Riker wrapped his arms around his wife as they watched Picard, Shinzon, Sergio and Worf stomp away for the Transporter room.

They rematerialized aboard the Reman Scimitar Class Attack Vessel that was an almost duplicate to the Scimitar except without the thalaron weapon. The ship was called Zabre. Kunak was the reigning captain, and he welcomed Shinzon aboard. Kunak was pleased to see Picard with him and read his thoughts about the other men with him. They would hunt to the death. Shinzon remembered it was the same vessel that brought Kunak and Vernaka to the Enterprise when they told him of their plans to find their home world.

Leila leaned forward while staring vigilantly into the orb to watch Shinzon. She started remembering how the changelings tried to kill Shinzon. That was the moment she realized cause they got the Horta involved that the Changelings never made an attempt on Shinzon's life. She then rewound time in the orb to watch how Picard and Shinzon greeted the Reman's.

Time Rewound to where Shinzon told Picard about the info from the Romulans and the Remans were arriving to talk to Shinzon (Full Reverse).

Leila watched the past as Shinzon and Worf fought. She saw the arrival of the Remans in the Infirmary. She was pleased to see that the doctor was not a changeling as the other dimension showed. She fast-forwarded to a conference Picard and Shinzon had with Kunak who was Shinzon's new Viceroy and Kunak's wife, Vernaka.

"Yes, I understand your desire to find the Reman home world, but you need to go to the Briar Patch to heal, Shinzon. The medallion is only a temporary way of using the technology Adije uses that acts like the rings of her planet. If you are separated from the medallion for any reason, you will die."

Shinzon looked into Kunak's mind and spoke to him, "He is right. I want to help lead the search for the planet and be healed finally."

Picard smirked, "Yes, I know."

That was the first time the Remans understood that Picard had a medallion on as well. Kunak then spoke out loud, "It would be best for Shinzon to heal. You said it might take a year for it to be complete. We believe this is expectable."

Picard closed his eyes for a moment then opened them. Kunak and Vernaka were removing their cloaks. He was stunned by how lovely and surprisingly humanize Vernaka appeared. He stood to his feet and gawked at Vernaka for a few moments.

Kunak did not like the way Picard was looking at his woman. True that Reman females resembled the male counterparts, but were also very voluptuously toned. He had seen many males of diverse species drool over the appearance of Reman females, but he did not expect Picard to be one of them. Reman females when coupled with a Reman male of or after the growth age empowered their spouse with telepathy. Kunak knew that Vernaka's crystal eyes were capable of hypnosis and delved into her mind to make sure she was not intentionally tempting Picard. She was not.

Picard found himself staring and looked down at his hands. "I am sorry for my reaction, but seeing both of you here together reminded me of something. If you will excuse me, I will return shortly."

They tried to see into his mind and were unable as they had when they first arrived.

Fifteen minutes later Picard returned with an old photo album. Shinzon recognized it as the one with Renee's pictures in it.

Picard opened it to the very last page and ran his fingers over the back cover. Leila smiled as she seen what he had hidden inside it. Picard pulled out the devise she had given him that stored the information about the race her own home world of Kapellia trades with on occasion.

Picard cleared his throat as he still concealed the item he had found to be so dear to his heart as a remembrance of Leila the violet dream of his past. "I was taken from the Enterprise a long time ago. I never told anyone or entered it into a single report. It seems things that happened were erased from existence and people's minds. I was shown things and given this. I was told to give it to the people who I was shown things about when I would run into them in the future. I believe that time has now come."

Picard placed the item in his hands on the table in front of Vernaka. It was a metallic device with a symbol on the top of it.

Vernaka gasped and her hands flew to her neck. She seen the symbol on the device was the same as the one on her medallion she had been given by her grandmother. She was told as a child that it held the knowledge to find the way back to the ancient homeland. She had guarded it with her life and several other's had died to protect her as she wore it in the mine holding cells.

Shinzon's old viceroy, who was now dead, had been the one who asked his woman to protect her with her life if needed. And it had been needed and her life had been forfeit. That was how Kunak had come to meet Vernaka when Shinzon had rose up to challenge the Romulans. It was on the fateful day when the Reman males had revolted to save the females of their species from the Romulans. Kunak had made it to the two females, but not in time to save the one. He took Vernaka and guarded her until help came.

Vernaka grabbed the device on the table with one hand and edged it closer. She ripped the medallion off of her neck and placed it on top the similar symbol. Nothing happened and a cry escaped her lips.

Picard remembered something Leila had said to him and leaned forward. "Vernaka, hold the pieces together. Kunak, now place your hands over hers."

They did so and a flash of blue energy emanated from the device. It caused to form above them, a holographic display of the star path to travel to their home world blinked into existence. Vernaka's heirloom had been the key and their combined powers had been the catalyst to make it work.

Kunak and Vernaka set it down on the table thereby turning it off. Kunak grunted, "It is more than a galaxy away. It would take us forever to get there."

He ceased talking as a small symbol on the device glowed red and started flashing.

Picard traced the symbol. His eyes flashed with understanding. "I remember this symbol I believe. If I am correct, this is a beacon. I remember seeing your people's ships being sent out to explore. When they were done, they activated this and larger ships came to take them home. The larger ships like the other race I encountered who were a purplish color, has a technology that can dematerialize ships and send them at extreme rates to other parts of a galaxy."

Vernaka leaned closer to Picard. Her hauntingly seductive voice flowed over the room. "Do you mean that they can detect this and come for us?" Without waiting for an answer and not expecting one she continued, "I wonder how long it would take them to get here. Maybe we could send a ship with the beacon in the direction of our home world to meet them. What do you think?"

Shinzon and Kunak answered in unison, "Let's go."

Vernaka raised her hands. "No, we need you both here to protect our people in this time of upheaval. Could we send another ship like ours with a crew that has a record of Remus to go out to them?"

Kunak shook his head and spoke with a deep icy tone. "She is right. With both of us gone, the Romulans might take the advantage. They do not know that Shinzon is alive, but I have become the leader of our people. Very well, it shall be done." He turned to Picard with the usual Reman icy appearance like a vampire about to pounce, "We are thankful and indebted to you for your assistance. Without this device, we would probably have never found our true home."

Picard remembered how the Remans discontinued attacks when the Scimitar was destroyed. They could have possible still destroyed Earth, but did not. He had also learned that Remans put a high standard of protecting family above all else. They may have had conflicts between clans before, but considered every Reman to be one and the same. "We should consider things even and a good start to a better relationship between our two governments. The Federation has no wish to control you or enslave you. We only wish for peace and continuing pursuits of exploration and knowledge. I have told Shinzon, and I would like to explain to you as well. I consider Shinzon to be my family. I protect those I consider my family with my life. You are his family and that makes you my family."

Kunak and Vernaka answered as one. "So be it."

Leila leaned back in her chair and was pleased at how things turned out. She ate some strawberries and directed the orb to once again return to the present time. In a blink, it was showing the real time of the Enterprise and the Zabre.

A/N: Well, it had taken me since the last story Full Reverse until these chapters to show what Leila's devise she gave Picard, Vernaka's medallion, the Dysonsphere that Scottie found then saved himself in the transporter conduit and the Reman home world had in common. Took me long enough, oh and even I don't know where the ladies have been taken, but then again neither does Leila.
