I'm so terribly sorry for not updating sooner. Long story short, I went out to Wisconsin to visit my sister, work has been hectic and I've been cleaning like a madman. Luckily though, I've gotten a bit of a break, so I was able to finish this chapter. It also took forever because I wasn't sure where I wanted to end the chapter and I rewrote it five times.

Thanks to Dark Mind of the American Teen for reviewing. We share the same feelings! Also thanks to IWillNeverStopFangirling and zeynel for reviewing as well. Your continued support is most appreciated.

Update on the cover art: It's coming along great! I can't wait for all of you to see it!

"Kirk is headed for collision at point 432!" One of the officers informs Spock.

Spock twitched his head so that the officer knew he had heard him. "Captain, there is debris directly ahead."

Kirk's voice crackled over the communicator. "Copy that." He replied, as he used his personal thrusters to maneuver around large piles of debris. Kirk felt a small amount of sadness, knowing that the debris was once a part of the Enterprise.


On the bridge of the Enterprise, Bones was monitoring both the locations of Khan and Kirk. He kept a close eye on both of them and hoping that Scotty would be waiting at the other end for both of them. He watched Kirk's location bounce around to wherever Kirk was trying to go, before settling down.

Bones tapped the screen a few times to gather data.

"Whoa! Jim! You're way off course!"


"I know, I know. I can see that!" Kirk hastily responded as he tried to work his way around the debris. Kirk was growing rather tired from controlling his every movement, putting every once of effort he had into making sure he didn't hit anything.


On the Vengeance, Scotty was preparing himself to open the door. Knowing that the suction from the portal would cause him to get vacuumed into space, he found a strap. He quickly wrapped into around his hands and forearm and tied himself to the control board. With the communicator sitting firmly between his teeth, he silently waited for Kirk's signal to open the door.

"Don't move." A voice behind Scotty echoed through the halls, sending shivers down Scotty's spine. Shocked, the communicator fell out of his mouth.


"Flight compass, Captain. You must correct precisely 37.243 degrees." Sulu informs Kirk, marveling at the numbers on his screen. He knew that being able to maneuver yourself by hundredths of a degree was a nearly impossible feat.

"Copy that. I'm working my way back." Kirk replied, feeling more confident now that he had cleared most of the debris.

"Scotty you're gonna be ready with that door right?" Kirk asked, getting no reply.

Meanwhile, Khan was struggling with getting himself around the debris. He knew that the suits were made to be out in space, but at their rate of speed they wouldn't be able to withstand the slightest collision with any objects.


Scotty had worked himself into a standing position, but left the communicator on the ground.

"What are you doing?" The man asked Scotty. Scotty was able to tell that this crewmember wasn't here by chance and that somebody- most likely the Admiral- had sent him down to the hangar.

Scotty said the first thing that came into his mind. "Wee bit of maintenance on the airlock console. You're big." He finished, looking the officer up and down.

"Mr. Scott where are you?" Kirk asked, his voice coming over the communicator.


"Captain, he can't seem to hear you, I'm working on getting his signal back." Uhura informed Kirk. "Stand by." Uhura began checking the frequencies to make sure Scotty hadn't turned off his communicator.


Kirk looked at the looming ship. There was no doubt that it was the biggest ship Starfleet had made, and the color scheme gave Kirk a sense of foreboding.

All of a sudden, a small piece of debris flew up into Kirk's helmet, making a small crack appear on Kirk's screen.

"Damn it!" He muttered under his breath.

"Captain, what is it?" Spock asked, concerned.

Kirk rolled his eyes, upset that Spock had heard what he said.

"My helmet was hit." Kirk replied. "Uhura, do we have Mr. Scott back?"

"Not yet. I'm still working on getting a signal." She replied and Kirk could hear her flipping the switches. "His communicator is working. I don't know why he's not responding."


Scotty willed his communicator to stop making noises and for the others to stop talking so loudly.

"What is that?" the officer asked, pointing his phaser towards the phone.

"Are you Starfleet or private security?" Scotty questioned, avoiding the officer's question.

"Show me your other hand." The officer ordered, getting annoyed with the lack of cooperation.

"You look like private security." Scotty said.


"Eminent collision detected." Sulu told Spock, as an alarm appeared on the screen.

"Khan use evasive action, there is debris directly ahead!" Spock told Khan, spitting out the words as fast as he could.

"I see it!" Khan responded.

Khan used his thrusters to push and pull himself around the large pile of debris. Satisfied, he ceased using the thrusters, as he had avoided the massive debris field. As he looked to the side to make sure he had completely cleared the tinier parts of the damaged hull, he lost his focus. He barely had time to turn his head back around when he slammed into a pile of debris.


Khan's signal blinked a few times, and then disappeared from the screen Bones, who was busy tapping the screen as fast as he could noticed that Khan had disappeared off his radar. He shook his head, knowing that the screen could easily be malfunctioning.

"Mr. Sulu did we lose Khan?" Spock asked, trying to keep thoughts of Kirk having to board the Vengeance alone from his mind.

Bones knew that Khan must have hit something that their screens had not detected. Turning his back towards the crew, he dug his nails into the palms of his hands, feeling as though he were the one at fault, because he would have seen the debris scattered around Khan.

What did you think? I'm still not very pleased with his chapter, but I'm super excited about the next one! Stay tuned! I hope that the characters are staying true to their original forms, however, I will warn you that occasionally they will be acting slightly out of character, as you have probably already noticed.

By the way, you get cake if you review!
