Chapter 3 - Danger

Guys you are amazing, 10 followers! I know thats nothing to other
'super writers' with thousands or whatever, but to me it's so good,
thank you! I have changed the name of the story to 'Deep space of the
heart' thanks to MaryWinchester. It was too long winded, I'm sure you
agree.

It had been a week since Chekov and I's encounter. A week too long if you ask me. I was dying to talk to him again but just didn't know how. And now wasn't the greatest time.

"Battle positions!" Kirk shouted across the bridge. The ship shook
violently as yet another attack from the enemy ship hit us. Somewhere
in the distance several loud crashes were heard.
"Fire!" The captain shouted again. We could see an area on the
opposite ship blow as we fired at them. The attack ceased momentarily
and at that time a loud ringing sounded about the ship. Our shields
were down. There was a look of panic on everyone's face as we thought
the worst.
"Captain, we should flee!" Cried one of the officers.
"Fleeing would be illogical. What's best to do is make contact with
this ship, and see what exactly it is that they want." Sounded , in
his monotone voice.
Kirk took this oppurtunity of cease fire to put Spock's advice into action.
"Lieutenant Chekov, contact the ship."
"Yes Sir." He replied. His fingers danced across his desk, presssing
button after button until a picture came up on screen. I gasped as a
large Gorn came up onscreen. His large sharp teeth and striking eyes
terrified me. I hate the look of dinosaurs, and these certainly looked
like them.
"This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise. To whom may I have the
pleasure of speaking with?" Kirk said as he stood promptley staring at
the screen.
"You are responsible." The creature snarled back at the screen. His
voice was inter-twined with deep throated growls, while behind him
there were explosions and fire.
"Responsible for what? Who am I speaking to?"
"Responsible for our planets destructionnnn..." The Gorn's sentence
trailed off into the most evil growl one can imagine. I looked at
Chekov who was glanced just as confused as I was.
"I don't understand. How are we responsible?" Kirk almost shouted at
the creature. Clearly annoyed at his lack of co-operation.
"This ship arrested six of our kind on the stardate 2265.78. Is this
correcttt.."
"Spock?" Kirk double checked the stardate.
"This is correct Sir." Spock replied.
"Yes, that date does match our records." Kirk placed all his attention
on the creature once again.
"This arrest lead to the destruction of our home world, Gornniska.
Those Gorn officers you arrested were doing a duty to our planet
whilst on Adumh."
"What was this duty?"
Their conversation went on for at least half an hour. The Gorn told
Kirk and everyone else onboard, how the arrest of those citizens of
Gornniska, caused uproar on their planet. The habitants of both
Gornniska and Adumh have always been sworn enemies. However Adumh
invited the council of armed forces of Gornniska to create a truce. It
was all a trap. The government of Adumh aggravated the Gorns so much
that they kicked off, which is when, right as planned, they sent the
distress signal. It was just luck that we picked it up before things
got out of hand. The Adumh's got exactly what they wanted, or so that
creature told us. Because of their arrest, their planet's inhabitants
went crazy. Causing riots throughout the districts in protest. The
government was overthrown and the place was in turmoil. And the Gorns
think we were involved in this plan.
"No, we got the distress signal which showed that the people of Adumh
were in trouble. We had to act logically." Spock stepped up as Kirk
took a second to register what was happening.
"Well we are acting logically now. Give us our Council back and help
with the reformation of our planet or face the consequencesss.." His
serpent like tongue slithered about as he trailed off. "We will
destroy both you and Earth if you do not comply. You have ten seconds
to decide... Ten.."
There was uproar onboard, people everywhere were shouting their
opinions at Kirk, who looked ready to pass out with worry.
"Captain!"
"Nine.."
"I must advise you.."
"Eight.."
Chekov spun his chair around to face me. "Scan their ship for the
amount of power remaining, now!" With that, he got up and ran over to
Uhura's station and started pressing buttons.
"Seven.."
I did exactly what he said as people around started to quiet down.
"Six.."
The scanner's results were positive, well for us anyway.
"Chekov!" I shouted over, and I watched as he ran back to look at the
screen. He laughed and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "Ah-ha!"
"Four.."
"Captain Kirk! They only have five percent energy left on their ship,
with my calculations, they would need at least fifteen to attack us
again and maintain orbit."
"Good man Chekov!" Kirk's face brightened up greatly as Chekov told
him the news.
"Two.."
"Enough!" Kirk's voice boomed across the room. "You have enough power to blow half this ship and then fall from orbit. So don't think you are better off than us."

The Gorn shifted uncomfortably and stared fiercely down the screen. Kirk continued.

"We will help your planet come to order, but we will not return the offenders to you."

"You have no right-" The Gorn was cut off by yet another speech from Kirk.

"Provoked or not, they still committed a crime by declaring war on Adumh. Quite frankly I should arrest you right here for attacking a Starfleet vessel. Now, if you were to surrender now and come aboard so we can talk this through like.. men, I would overlook that rule. So what do you say? Reminding you that it is either this or death."

The connection was shut down and the screen returned to normal.

"They're preparing their shuttle's to come aboard Sir." I spoke out; nervous at the danger of such creatures coming aboard the ship. I glanced at Chekov who sensed my nervousness and gently squeezed my hand in an act of support.

"Excellent. We will be based in the main board room. Commander Spock, please accompany me into the meeting. Uhura, Lennox, please escort our guests to the place of meeting. Allow no more than two onto the ship. We wouldn't want an unfair advantage now." The Captain declared, walking with a confident stride out of the bridge.

"Yes Captain." They obediently replied.

I gave Chekov a nervous look and proceeded to scan their ship once more.

This chapter got away from me a little! Is it too long? I dunno but I like it, do you? I have added in my own little fiction into this with the planets and the creatures. I think I did an okay job eh? I am currently doing two chapters at once, go me! I'll put the next one up after this
