I don't own Star Trek. Thank you to Star Trek Freak and It's me, get over it for reviewing chapter 2. Reviews are welcome, flames mean more s'mores!

Sighing, I made my way back to camp. The Ruler had decided that I wasn't a threat, so he allowed me to go back. Unfortunately, he'd had a guard escort me out of the city so I couldn't go and see my father.

That didn't help our group at all. The civil war on this planet was reaching its climax and we were in the middle of the battle zone. From everything I knew about Moroll, he would shoot us as soon as he would shoot a rebel. All of us were in extreme danger, and we couldn't do anything about it.

Soon, I reached the outer edges of the camp. The alarm system went off and I could hear the scuffle to see who the intruder was.

"You are trespassing." Kelly yelled at me.

Her voice came from a tree to my left. I grinned evilly before picking up a stick and throwing it into the tree. Ted came into sight and I heard Kelly come down from the tree.

"It's about time you came back." Ted remarked, walking over to where I was standing. "You were gone for five hours."

"Blame Moroll, not me." I said, leaning against the tree.

"So what did he want to talk to you about?" Kelly asked me.

"I have some good news, and some bad news." I told them. "Which do you want to hear first?"

"How about the good news?" Ted suggested.

"Alright, Star Fleet got our message and the U.S.S. Enterprise is here to rescue us."

"Do we want to hear the bad news?" Kelly asked as we headed toward the middle of camp.

"Moroll isn't going to let us go without a fight." I replied, sitting down in front of the fire.

Suddenly, I heard noise in the bushes behind us. As I turned, I felt something whiz by my ear. The thing put out our fire. Everything was dark and I heard someone come up behind me.

"Who goes there?" I growled, trying not to show my fear.

In response, I felt a hand clasp over my mouth. I struggled against it and even bit the hand. Whoever it belonged to let go and gasped in pain. Using that time, I stomped on the person's foot. This time, however, a heavy object made contact with the back of my head. A few seconds later, I blacked out.

Slowly, I started to emerge from the darkness around me. My head was pounding and I slowly opened my eyes. I was lying on stone slab in a huge cavern. Gently touching my head, I slowly sat up. Everything suddenly became blurry and I pitched forward.

Someone caught me. I felt them steady me and I leaned against the wall. Everything slowly came into focus and I saw a young woman sitting in front of me. She was covered in dirt and had holes in her clothes.

"You shouldn't get up yet." She said in a cool voice. "That bump Moroll's men gave you was pretty serious.

"Who are you?" I asked as she got up. "Where am I? And where are my friends?"

"You ask too many questions." She poured a glass of water for me and handed it to me. "But I like you. My name is Altsoba; I am the leader of the Rebel Force. You are in our headquarters. Your friends are recovering in other rooms. You were in the worst shape of all of them. Now, my turn to ask questions."

"Fine by me." I replied, sipping the water.

"Who are you? And why did Moroll send his men to kill you?"

"My name is Egypt Picard. I'm a survivor of the U.S.S. Battlement crash six years ago. My friends out there are also survivors. As for Moroll, he wants us dead because I sent a distress call to Star Fleet."

"Who is this Star Fleet?"

"Star Fleet is, well I've never been asked that question before. I guess Star Fleet is a force of men and women of all species that explores the galaxy and interacts with different species."

"That is weird, my people have gotten off this planet, but that was before the war. Why did your ship crash."

"We were attacked. Originally the Battlement was to get people off of the planet Viridian Minor. There was a civil war going on and my father had put me on the Battlement to get me out of danger. We were attacked on our way to, my home planet, Earth."

"Why was your father on the planet in the first place? Was he fighting in the civil war?"

"No, my father is a Captain of a ship. Back then he was the captain of the Stargazer and now he is apparently the captain of the Enterprise."

"So, why were you two there?"

"My father was assisting in the peace talks between the two societies and I was there to visit him because we hadn't seen each other in months."

"I get it now. So has this Star Fleet come?"

"That's the interesting part about it. They have and that is why Moroll is worried. He thinks that they are going to take me away. I've been designing weapons for him. I'd probably be dead already if he'd tried to work them…"

"What do you mean?"

"I couldn't fix one of his guns to save my life."

"So the weapons are duds."

"Yup. What makes this even more interesting is the fact that the Enterprise is the ship here and my father is most likely being held captive by Moroll."

"We need to do something about that."

"Huh?"

"We both have the same enemy, right?"

"Yeah."

"We can work together. The Rebel Force has been fighting Moroll for years; maybe you and your friends are just what we need to finally defeat him. What do you say? Want to help us?"

"Why not, we'd be killed if we tried to do it ourselves. Besides, ruining Moroll's day is too fun to do alone."

"What the hell is going on down there?" Riker growled to the Ensign in Cmdr. Data's chair.

"I don't know sir." She replied, looking at the controls in front of her.

"Hail the planet." He ordered.

"What can I help you with?" The sly face of Moroll came up on the screen.

"It seems that we have lost contact with our away team. Is it alright if we send another down, just to make sure everything is alright and to fix the communication systems?" Riker asked.

"Of course." Moroll grinned before the screen went to black.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of him. When it left, Q stood before him. He was smirking.

"Ah Riker." Q walked over and patted Riker on the shoulder. "You are now the lone commander of the ship."

"What are you talking about Q?" Riker's voice was like ice.

"There is no real chance that Jean-Luc is coming back therefore, you are now captain. Let's celebrate."

Q snapped his fingers and party hats appeared on everyone's heads. A noisemaker was in Riker's mouth. He took it out and glared at Q.

"What have you done to the Captain?"

"Want to see for yourself?"

Q snapped his fingers again and they disappeared in a flash of light.

I sat on one of the beds, looking over a large plan of Moroll's palace. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the outside. Altsoba ran in and pulled me toward the door.

"Some strange people just appeared. They're foreigners." She said as she dragged me down the hall.

We came to a large storage room. There were a number of rebels on the outer rim, pointing their guns at three people in the middle. All three of them wore Star Fleet uniforms. My heart skipped a beat. I made my way toward them.

"Who are you?" The one that appeared to be the leader asked me.

"What is the serial number of the original starship Enterprise?" I questioned him.

"What does that have to do with anything?" He looked at me confused.

"It will tell me whether or not you are really Star Fleet." I replied.

"NCC-1701." He responded.

"They aren't a threat!" I yelled to the rebels, who then lowered their guard.

"Who are you?" He repeated his question.

"Egypt Picard, and you three are from the starship Enterprise."

"We are. I'm Commander Riker, this is Counselor Troi and that is Lieutenant Commander La Forge."

"It is good to finally meet the Captain's niece." Counselor Troi smiled.

"He doesn't have a niece." I corrected her.

"Then how are you?" La Forge looked at me curiously.

"I'm his daughter."

"The captain has a daughter!" All three of them looked like they were in shock.

"Why else would I bring you all here?" Q's voice echoed throughout the room.

I turned around and saw him standing on a box. He had his arms crossed and a smug look on his face. His brown eyes seemed to gleam with joy.

"Why did you bring us here Q?" Riker demanded.

"Patience, patience Riker." Q scolded. "I am not here to talk to you. I am here to talk to Egypt."

"What do you want?" I asked, exasperated.

"To warn you and your friends," he gestured toward the rebels. "That Jean-Luc and the rest of them will not make it through the night. Remember, the road ahead is bumpy."

With that, he snapped his fingers. Altsoba approached me and looked into my eyes.

"What did he mean?"

"We need to defeat Moroll tonight." A dark look came over my face. "Or the away team will be dead by morning. This is our only chance, let's not screw it up."

A/N: Thank you again to my reviewers. In response to It's me, get over its review, the crew thought that Egypt was Rene's older sister, therefore, Picard's niece. Data and Worf still do not know that she is Picard's daughter, but Dr. Crusher does since she has known Picard for a while. Hope that clears up any confusion.
