Characters: Anna, Elsa, Arendelle.
Summary: Elsa is injured but is on the mend. They have half of the device, but what about the other half? What about the last member of the Children?
"Elsa we have a problem," Aren announced over head.
"Report."
"A ship just dropped out of hyperspace and they are maneuvering to keep us from jumping to hyperspace," Aren reported.
"How is that possible?" Anna asked as they untangled each other to get up. Elsa grabbed a new shirt as the old one was bloody and had a large area cut out of it.
"The ship needs a clear path in order to jump to hyperspace. If they get close enough and are in that clear path we won't be able to enter hyperspace before hitting them," Aren explained.
"It isn't something that is taught in most normal schools that study hyperspace," Elsa finished as the pilot or someone on that ship knew a great deal about hyperspace and tactics. "Aren ready defense measures."
"Already loading up missiles and warming up out energy cannons," Aren reported as both Anna and Elsa got on the flight deck. "Communication coming in."
"Patch them through," Elsa answered as she sat down in the pilot's chair. She was thankful that it would only show her face. If they saw her arm it would definitely be a sign of weakness.
A man's face showed up in front of Elsa on holo. "I see I'm talking to a butcher of people," the man started the communication with guns blazing.
"I don't know who you are or who you think you are, but I am NARK Elsa and I demand you stand down immediately," Elsa declared in her old emotionless voice. People had often told her it was almost terrifying to listen to her speak.
"No. I believe you have something of mine and I intend to take it back. I also bet you have one of my sisters," the man spoke with clear disgust.
A text box popped up in a second holo next to the one that she was talking to the man on. It was a message from Anna That's James!
"I don't know what you are talking about. I just assisted a stranded vessel and am now making my way home. I have nothing of yours," Elsa said as she tried to potentially divert him.
"Really because this recorded communication says otherwise," James started broadcasting a message.
"We have been disabled by a Knighthood ship. I am locked on the flight deck the NARK booby trapped the door. I don't know where your friend is, but my ship camera's show that the NARK has the device," the recording ended.
"So you have my friend and the device. I demand that you hand them over," James demanded.
"I'm tired of playing this game," Elsa said as she cut off communication, "Aren fire on the ship. If the device is on there we destroy it and the mission is over in a way."
"Prepairing to fire. There is a power surge coming from the other ship," Aren reported as Elsa saw the firing solution appear on the weapons holo.
Then Elsa saw the strangest thing it appeared like the other ship had fired a lightning bolt at them. It shouldn't have been possible as lightning in the vacuum of space shouldn't work, but her it came. "Evasive action," Elsa yelled as she tried to grab the yolk of the ship forgetting that her other arm was useless.
The bolt hit them and the entire ship wasn't engulfed in electricity like she expected. Instead the lights all flickered and then everything shut off. The emergency powered lights popped on and one holo flickered to life. "What was that?" Anna asked as Elsa brought up the holo and did a systems check.
"I have no idea, but it seemed to have overloaded Aren," she replied as she looked at the systems. "Aren must have anticipated it because it seems she put a lot of her systems on standby, but it will still take her a while to restart."
"How long?"
"Fifteen to twenty minutes," Elsa answered.
"We need guns because they look like they will be here in five," Anna answered and Elsa looked up and saw Anna was pointing out the windows. Elsa looked and saw the ship was come in quickly. Aren was defenseless and Elsa was nearly crippled, but she couldn't just hide on the flight deck. She moved to a storage locker behind the flight deck and punched in the code to open it. Inside was two pistols, a close range shotgun and several melee combat weapons.
She grabbed a knife and put it in the pocket of her pants, the pistol went in a holdster at her hip and the shotgun had a strap that went strapped across her body. She also put a com link in her ear. The link would still work even with Aren shut down, but only on the ship. She was injured, but far from defenseless. She grabbed the other pistol and handed it to Anna. She looked up with doubt in her eyes "You sure?"
"Yes the last incident was an accident. This time you stay on the flight deck and shoot anything that come around that corner that isn't me," Elsa said as she kept the gun in front of Anna. She hesitantly took it and set it in her lap.
"I'm scared about losing you," she said as she looked up from her co-pilots chair.
"I'm scared about losing you and failing two billion people," Elsa admitted as the truth had become almost second nature with Anna. Elsa bent down and kiss Anna gently before turning and headed towards the port docking door. "Can you hear me?" Elsa asked quietly though the com.
"Yes," Anna replied and Elsa took up the same position at the door. Her back one the wall and her gun ready. She would once again steal quick glances down the hall to the other ship. This time though she was on the defense so it meant that she wouldn't move until she saw a target.
Being is space was nice as there was very little sound until another ship approached. So she didn't even need Anna saying distance from connection in her ear. Elsa didn't stop Anna from talking though because the sound of her voice was soothing. Normally Elsa was calm, cool and collected before battle. This time though was different as she was not even close to one hundred percent.
The sound came as the person from the other ship docked and then started opening the port side door. Thankfully they didn't just try and drill their way in. Instead they knew that they could access the electronics of the door and slice their way in. If she was lucky they would just open the door and be standing right next to it. That way she could get the drop on the man and end the conflict quickly.
She didn't expect that level of stupidity though and as soon as the door opened she saw that there wasn't a soul in sight. She peeked around the corner quickly and saw an empty hallway to the other ship. Then when she peeked a second time she caught a little bit of movement from next to the door of the other ship. Anna had said days ago that James had military training and it showed as he was doing the same thing Elsa was. He probably even caught a glance of her at some point.
"I see you over there and I know you have seen me. So we are at an impasse," James called out down the hallway, "How about we settle this like the good old days?" Elsa had to laugh at the turn of events. When the mission started she had said the same thing to a member of the Children of Aria and now here at nearly the end of the mission the final member of Children of Aria just said it to her.
"What do you find the idea of hand to hand combat funny?" James called out clearly annoyed at her laughing.
"Not in the slightest. I am just laughing at a turn of events that my life has taken since this mission. I would love to settle this the old fashion way, but I am at a disadvantage.
"What because you are a woman?"
"No because I have had to slaughter so many of your friends," she was trying to enrage him to get him to do something stupid, "you know that is tiring work." It got the reaction she wanted as she heard a angered roar come from the other ship.
She turned and fired at James as he charged, but with only one arm her accuracy was diminished. The shot barely grazed his arm and he lowered his shoulder. He was moving too fast to get a second shot off so instead she crouched down and rolled to her right. It was the side that had been hurt, but she just ignored the pain as it would have been worse if she tried to stop his charge.
James couldn't redirect in time, but he had a pistol of his own and he turned to aim at her. She reacted quicker as she rolled a second time, but this time she rolled on her good side that allowed her to push herself back onto her feet. His shot just hit the floor where she had been crouched. She was rotated the wrong direction to take a shot as he was turning towards her. Instead of using her pistol she just kept turning and kicked a sweeping round house kick.
James obviously wasn't prepared for the action and he took the heel of her boot square in the chest. The kick pushed a lot of the air out of his lungs and he gasped as he took several steps back. He dropped his pistol and grabbed his chest.
She took this chance to center herself and take aim. She squared herself up and aimed at him, but the gasping was all for show as he had instead pulled a knife out of his chest pocket. The knife was already in the air by the time she realized what happened. The knife was going to hit her no matter what, but she had the choice where. So she turned again keeping her good arm and shoulder way and the knife sliced into the outside of her already injured arm.
The lack of feeling in the arm was a blessing as she didn't feel the pain. The turn caused her to lose sight of James for a split second. He would either go for his weapon on the floor or close the distance towards her. She hoped he would go for the weapon.
As she finished turning and finally caught sight of him she saw that he was closing the distance too quickly for her to take aim. She tried to side step him, but was too slow as she was moving slower than usual do to her injury. The impact wasn't that painful, but it wasn't meant to hurt it was meant to pick her up off her feet. It was successful as he had lifted her up and drove her towards the wall. She did the only thing she could which was slam her elbow down onto his back once as hard as she could. It was enough to push him off his feet and he hit the floor, but her momentum was to much as she slammed into the wall.
The impact shouldn't have hurt, but Elsa was injured and even through her arm was useless the wound still hurt. She cried out in pain as she couldn't help dropping her pistol and grabbing her shoulder. It was an opening enough for someone trained in military combat. James leaped to his feet and pinned her good arm to her chest with his chest and arm. His other hand wrapped around her throat tightly.
James brought his face close to hers. His nose was actively bleeding from the impact with the floor. "I'm going to choke the life from you. I wish I could do it over twenty times, but this once will have to do," James spat. She tried to kick or bring a knee up, but he was just as strong as she was and the impacts didn't do any damage or change anything. He wasn't just stopping her breathing, but restricting the blood flow to her brain. She started with seeing spots and then everything started to turn black.
I'm always looking for a beta reader too.
