A/N: Just a big thank you for all the lovely reviews! Also I apologize that I didn't put a warning for rape on chapter 3...
Jim felt the almost sticky wetness cascading down past his thighs as Sybok groaned heavily into the back of his neck. The Vulcan ran hot coarse hands along the young man's sides, and they seemed to burn like iron through the silk pajama top.
A thin ragged gasp escaped the pinned captain, and Sybok swiftly retracted himself from Jim while dabbing his tongue against the deep contusion mark he had laid upon the human's flesh. It pulsed purplish-black, and a thick trail of blood trickled downwards onto the ground.
In an instant Sybok had rotated the human around in his thick embrace, and stared down at the panting man. The corner of his mouth curved upwards in a thin sneer as he took noticed of the present fear and hatred that flashed from the jaded blue eyes.
"That was quite pleasing, Jim," The Vulcan stated, lifting his hand up above Jim's face. He positioned his fingers against the required meld points and Jim's eyes widened in disbelief. He struggled against the assault, but Sybok merely crashed through his mental barriers and resided against the brightly colored landscape of Jim's mind.
Jim gasped out loud. Tears began falling from his eyes, creating more dark lines as they streaked down the brief layer of dirt upon his face. His body cowered in fear as he felt Sybok reach for the golden thread that connected him to Spock.
"P-please don't!" Jim's voice cracked as he felt himself begging Sybok to leave the bond alone.
However, the Vulcan in question ignored the silent pleads and touched with mental hands against the vibrant golden thread. As Jim felt himself cringed from the intrusion, he gritted his teeth and concentrated on eliminating Sybok away from the one good thing that was left to him.
Sybok cursed in Vulcan as the bond seemed to zap at his mental probing. He retreated from the captain's mind, and stared emotionless at the defiant man beneath him.
"Your bond with Spock is strong," He commented notably. "But ours could be stronger were you to allow me to connect our minds together as one."
Jim hissed his disappointment at the idea, and struggled against the tight grip. Sybok's eyes glared at the resisting human before a deep growl sounded out behind the two of them. Jim smiled despite his aching body as his bond-mate had finally appeared.
Spock's eyes blazed in the dark as they located the compromising situation of his cousin and mate. The scent of copper filled his nose, and Spock felt his control shatter a little bit more.
"Release him, Sybok," Spock demanded.
Sybok ignored him, causing Spock to emit another deep growl as he saw his cousin peer down at Jim with hungry eyes.
"S-Spock!" Jim cried, pushing against the unmoving Vulcan.
"Step away from my mate!"
A tongue pressed against Jim's cheek before a hard mouth was plundering against his own. Jim's muffle scream against the assault was all it took for Spock to launch himself at his cousin.
Jim whimpered. His eyes blinked in a daze and the warmish air bit at his exposed skin. Struggling as his body protested against any sudden movements, Jim could hear the two Vulcans angrily fighting one another. The human rose to his feet, pulling the pajama pants back up - hiding his shame. The sudden swirl of his mind and vision caused Jim to fall against the jagged shelf and cringe at the dizziness that he felt.
He groaned against the overwhelming sensation as he observed Spock and Sybok throwing one another down upon the hard ground...
"He's mine!" Spock hissed. "My t'hy'la!"
Sybok growled as well, and gripped Spock tightly around his throat while slamming him down upon the ground. Spock felt his heart lurch against his side. Sybok was full Vulcan, and there wouldn't be any chances of a half-Vulcan mastering a full-Vulcan in hand to hand combat.
Sybok smiled at the fear that danced through his cousin's human eyes as he pinned him carelessly against the hard ground.
"That's right my cousin," He whispered with a hint of rage in his voice. "Can you still call him your mate when your voice is compromised?"
He squeezed a little tighter against Spock's throat, smirking as the half-Vulcan began choking against the aggression.
Jim. Spock thought. He struggled once more but felt himself fall lax in the strong hold. I cherish thee... His eyes began fluttering dangerously close, and Sybok pressed his grip even tighter against Spock's throat...
Jim's eyes widened as he saw Sybok overpower Spock, and his bond-mate lay on the ground; his throat being choked more severely than the time on bridge when Jim had emotionally compromised Spock to win over the captaincy during the Nero incident.
No, Spock! He cried into the bond. He bowed his head as his body heaved in pain as he rested against the rocky shelf.
Wind picked up out of nowhere, and Jim swore he heard his name being called. He glanced around himself feverishly, but nothing unusual was present near him. But as he raised his gaze to where Sybok and Spock were located he saw a child standing next to them.
Jim cocked his head in confusion. Where did this child come from? And why was it near the two fighting Vulcans? He pulled himself away from the shelf, and stared at the child who stared back at him almost defiantly.
The child's eyes dropped from Jim's face towards Spock's before looking up at Jim once more. Another breeze rip through and the human's posture froze as he heard a wisp voice saying, "Daddy..."
The child was still staring at him before it began backing away from the two Vulcan's; close to the edge. Jim swallowed thickly. He moved forward, his hands splayed in front of him as if to calm the child away from the sheer drop.
The child backed up some more before it slip over the edge and plummeted downwards. A surge of panic arose in Jim, and he jumped forward as if in a trance...
Sybok cried in shock as Jim's body crashed against his own, and the two rolled away from Spock. Spock gasped against the ground before his Vulcan ears heard the tiny yelp that tore out of his cousin's mouth.
Rising to full stature, Spock felt his breath leave him as he saw Sybok and Jim fall over the side of the cliff. His heart seemed to stop and his mind raced as his body felt frozen in place. His body twitched out of the immobile state as he heard a sickening thud.
Reaching into his mind, Spock hesitated against searching for the bond. He didn't know what he would do if he found it broken, shattered; the other living part of him, dead upon the ground. However, the bond was still intact and Spock observed that his mate was indeed still alive. He was hurt but still alive. The bond glowed in recognition as Spock used it to send reassurances to Jim.
Nimbly finding his way down - his feet slipping a bit - Spock sighed in relief as his feet finally touched the bottom ground. He observed the landscape in the fading light, and took noticed of the twisted form of his cousin.
He blanched as he moved away from the corpse. Sybok's eyes were still open in shock, while his neck lay broken against the sharp jagged stalagmites that curved upwards. Green blood trailed down the rock formation and Spock turned his back on the broken Vulcan, using the bond to locate his mate.
He was startled to find Jim on a thick protruding rock shelf sticking out of the cliff face. His mate's hands were curled against the rock race, and were covered in bloody scratches as he seemed to be gripping at the sharpness to keep from falling.
Skillfully making his way up to the ledge, Spock wound his arms around his non-moving mate. Jim's eyes cracked open at the action and they stared up at Spock's.
"T'hy'la," Spock murmured. He pulled Jim against him as he nuzzled against the human's cheek in contentment.
Jim smiled and whispered out loud, "I saw 'im, Spock. I saw our son!"
Spock froze, staring at his mate in confusion. Jim slumped forward in the embrace a bit as Spock pulled away a bit, but managed to keep whispering, "I saw him. He's alive! Our son! Spock!"
Spock frowned as he managed to retrieve his com-unit from his pants. He hailed the Enterprise to beam them back aboard before glancing down at his mumbling mate...
