Book 4 - Star Trek: Predator - Sad Day for Konoha's - Chapter 5, Rescue and Escape
It had taken them about an hour to climb the decks, Kira and Sasuke were tired and wanted to stop to rest a bit before they kept going
"Get guys, lets stop here before we go any further" Kira told them as he sat down on the ground
"Agreed" Sasuke said as he sat next to him
"Come on guys, we need to keep going! We need to find Hinata!" Naruto told them in protest
"Where does he find this endless stamina? We just climbed forty three decks, and he still has the energy to jump around" Kira commented
"He has always been like that since we were kids" Sasuke explained
Naruto was tapping his foot "Come on guys! Suzu doesn't seem tired!" Naruto pointed out
Suzu stood next to him with her arms crossed as she stared at Sasuke "You disappoint me Sasuke, I am going to have to work on your Stamina once we get back in the ring" She said with a grin
Sasuke feared what that meant as he avoided eye contact with her
"Calm down you two, and sit down" Kira told them
Naruto let out a sigh "Why are you two acting like such old people?" he commented as he reluctantly sat down followed by Suzu
"Her I am only twenty four years old" Kira protested
Sasuke and Naruto look at each other
"You are only a year older then us, how are you already a commander?" Naruto asked slightly shocked
"I entered Starfleet Academy at a very young age" Kira told them "Now let's get back to the mission" He said as he got up along with everyone else
Kira slowly opened the doors and peeked in "I can see four guards" he whispered
"Then let's take them out" Naruto whispered back
Kira shook his head "And alert the entire deck? Who will then alert the ship? No, we have to think of another way of getting in" he explained
Naruto was getting frustrated, he understood what Kira was saying but on the other hand he also knew what Hinata was going through "The longer we wait, the more they are going to make Hinata suffer, I am sorry sir but i cannot allow them to go on harming her" Naruto stated as he pushed his way through Kira
He quickly ran for the guards and began making hand signs "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" he said in a low voice as three clones of himself appeared, they ambushed the aliens and quickly take them out with skill and stealth, once he confirmed he took them all out he dispelled his clones
Kira, Suzu and Sasuke walked in from behind, Kira grabbed Naruto by his shirt and slammed him against the wall "Lieutenant, if you ever do anything like that again I swear I will replace you with Ino, is that understood Lieutenant!" Naruto was shocked, he had never seen Kira this angry "I SAID IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?" He once again asked him as he tightened his grip
Naruto nodded "Sir, yes sir" he said quickly as Kira finally let go of him
"You Idiot, you could have screwed up our entire rescue mission!" Sasuke added, showing that he agreed with Kira
Naruto straighten his uniform "I am sorry it's just that I know we have to get to her now, the longer we wait the more pain she endures, I know because I've been in her place and I almost died!" Naruto said pleadingly
"I understand Naruto, but we cannot be reckless. Let's just keep going, if we encounter any more guards you will follow my orders, understood?" Kira once again told him
"Yes commander, I understand" Naruto answered in a slightly sad tone
Kira let out a sigh "Incidentally, good job, you didn't seem to have alerted the rest of the deck. Now let me connect to the computer and see where they are holding her" Kira said as he once more plugged into the nearby wall panel with his device
"Hurm, the computer is trying to do security sweeps of all decks, it would appear that it has a suspicion something isn't right, but for now it's just guessing. Hinata is being held in the forward section of the deck, there are very few guards, much less than I expected" Kira explained
"That's a good thing then, right?" Suzu commented
"Maybe, but the lack of guards normally means a good security system, one that I'm trying to locate and take down as we speak, but this AI is really getting on my nerves. Security codes cracked, they have HEAVY surveillance in Hinata's location, I'm going to take the security cameras offline and put them into a loop, making it think it's still online and that nothing is wrong" Kira added as he worked his device
"Great, so does that mean we can go all out?" Naruto asked
Kira shook his head and sighed "Fine but only on my command, logging off the computer" he answered as shoved his device in his pocket
They ran down the corridor to the door where Hinata was being held, Kira stopped right in front of the door. He gave them a hand signal to get ready, Kira then tapped the button on the wall to open the door. Naruto, Suzu and Sasuke ran in, they fired their phasers and hid behind some sort of bio bed trying to keep their attention focused on themselves, all of a sudden, another door opened on the other side of the room, Kira came running in and got the aliens from behind
"Hold your fire guys, we got them" Kira told them
Naruto began looking around for Hinata, he saw her laying down on one of the bio beds, restrained, her uniform ripped, she had tubes going into her body. He quickly ran towards her "Hinata, don't worry we are here now" He looked at her immobile body, there was no expressions on her face, it looked like she was sleeping peacefully "Hey Hinata, wake up it's me Naruto" He said as he held her hand
Hinata wasn't responding or moving, Naruto began ripping the pipes from her body while Kira started to make some scans
"How is she?" Suzu asked concerned as she stared at Hinata who had yet to move a muscle
"I don't know, we have to get her back to the flyer, you guys take care of her, I am going to hack into their computer again, I need to delete any Federation technology they might have gathered, then I'm going to set the self destruct to not only the Lexington, but to this entire ship" Kira instructed them
"You can do that?" Sasuke asked
Kira grinned "Just watch me, with my computer hacking skills I can do anything, why do you think I was recruited by Section thirty one as soon as I graduated?" Kira instantly plugged back into the ship's computer and began working on his plan
Naruto was taking out the last tubes from Hinata's body, he wiped her face with a cloth while Suzu continued to scan Hinata since Kira was busy with planning their escape
"My god, I think I know what they were trying to do, Sasuke look at this" Suzu said as she showed him her scans
"What? What were they doing to her?" Naruto asked concerned
"They were extracting her chakra so they could study it and find a way to neutralize it, and from my scans she has many unknown toxins in her body as well" Suzu explained
"We need to get her back to the flyer" Naruto said as he picked her up in his arms
"Kira, are we almost done?" Sasuke asked
"Cracking their Command Codes...GOT THEM, I cracked both the Lexington and this ships command codes. I am activating the Lexington Self Destruct to go off in ten seconds, and this one to go off in twenty" Kira explained as he removed his device from the wall panel
"Then lets get the hell out of here" Suzu stated
Kira tapped his comm badge "Kira to Flyer"
"Go ahead away team" Neji's voice answered
"Five to beam up" Kira requested
"Does that mean that you found her?" Neji asked with hope in his voice
Suddenly the ship shook violently as the Lexington self destructed, the ships internal alarms were going crazy, the AI was making multiple announcements
"Neji, NOW would be a good time" Kira quickly informed him
"Sir. their shields just went up" Neji answered back
Kira quickly plugged back into the wall panel
"Commander, our twenty seconds are almost up…" Suzu stated as she was counting in her head
"There, their shields are down, energizing" Neji stated
As they beam off, the ship exploded right behind them, Ino instantly took the Flyer into Warp to avoid the shock wave, she set their course back to Federation space. Neji left his station and ran towards the transporter room, Naruto ran out carrying Hinata in his arms, he took her to the small medical Bay they had in the back room, it only had one bio bed and basic medical equipment. He laid her on the bed gently
"What have they done to her?" Neji asked horrified at all the cuts and bruises on her body as well as her ripped clothing
"They were extracting her chakra, and god only knows what else" Naruto answered
"Sasuke, you take Neji's station, tell Ino to set course for two, two nine mark three, Starbase four thirty two, Naruto, Suzu you two assist me, Neji" He said with a pause "You just stay with her"
Sasuke left the room to join Ino and inform her of the events, Neji sat down next to Hinata and held her hand, Kira started to scan with his medical tricorder
"Naruto get me my bag" Kira ordered, Naruto ran towards Kira's bunk and got his back pack "Get the vial that's inside the front pouch and insert it into a hypospray" Kira ordered as Naruto quickly did as he said and handed the hypospray to Kira
"What is that stuff?" Suzu asked
"I spoke to your old doctor before we left, Voyager's Chief Medical Officer, and asked him to send me the information I needed to make the same antidote he gave you when Naruto was captured" Kira explained as he applied the hypospray to Hinata
"Is it the same thing?" Naruto asked
"Not exactly, but a lot of the same compounds are in her blood, and the antidote will take care of those compounds, with any luck, her body can take care of the rest" Kira answered
"And if it can't?" Neji asked nervously
"Then I start looking for other ways of curing her, or at least keep her alive until we reach Starbase four thirty two, they have an advanced medical center there and they are the closest base, also Orb just happens to also be there. Orb is very advanced in medical technology, it rivals our own" Kira explained
"Don't worry Hinata, you're going to be alright, I swear" Naruto said as he stood by her side
