Book 2 - Star Trek Predator: SFA, Konoha Style - Chapter 5, Finding new friends
Sasuke made it onto Voyager, repair crews were all over, Sasuke didn't understand why since Voyager wasn't in the battle
Tom: Hey Sasuke, nice to see you again, I heard you had gotten into Red Squad, I'm impressed and not only that...You made first officer eh?
Sasuke: Yea but I screwed up...
Tom: So I heard, don't worry, Harry almost blew up Voyager on his first mission in command. He allowed a super weapon to take control of the doctor, then he got captured himself by the thing
Harry: Shut up tom...
Sasuke: Where is the Captain? I have urgent news
Tom: He is in his ready room
Sasuke: Thanks
Sasuke went to the door and hit the chime button he heard Come and the doors slide open
Janeway: - They hit us hard all along the boarders, I don't know what would of happened had we lost DS9 -
Chakotay: All our lines held at least, ah Sasuke nice to see you again please sit down, I'm just talking to Admiral Janeway about our situation
Sasuke: What happened ? I thought only SB 12 was attacked
Chakotay: No they lunched 5 attacks all at the same time, a lot of ships were destroyed...Voyager was heavily damaged defending DS9, the core almost lost containment, but she held together. This old girl still has a lot of fight left in her
Sasuke: I see, I have news about the new aliens
Janeway: - What? -
Sasuke: We know what there target is, they want Konoha
Janeway: Why would they want your planet
Sasuke: While Naruto was captive, they told him that Konoha is a planet very rich in a resource they
need, however our people are to powerful to conquer
Chakotay: Wait a second, Naruto was captured?
Sasuke: Yea...They did experiments on him...They wanted to destroy our chakara system, they almost killed him too...Its all my fault
Chakotay: Sasuke don't blame yourself, your young and inexperience, use this as a learning experience
Janeway: - This is not a good thing, Chakotay, when Voyager is repaired, I want you to go to Konoha and inform there leader of this information, I think they need to know that there world is in danger -
Chakotay: Aye Admiral
Janeway: - I have reports coming in from DS12 so I must leave Chakotay -
Chakotay: Alright Voyager out
Sasuke: I must get back on the SB now
Chakotay: You just got here, whats the rush?
Sasuke: I have some...Things to take care of
Chakotay: What type of things?
Sasuke: Well I got mad at Sakura, she deserved it but today she came to apologize and I just ignored her, and I think I may have hurt her. I was still mad at her but on my way here I saw her crying
Chakotay: I see, these are stressful times and it is in times like these that you will need your friends, go to her and make things right
Sasuke: Aye sir
He left the ready room and tom came to him
Tom: Hey how about we go to Sandrines for a game a pool ? I promise I will give you some chances
Sasuke: I cant
Tom: Ah come on, we don't have much to do until the ship gets repaired
Sasuke: No I mean I cant, I have been bared from any recreational activities, plus I have some things to do
Tom: Ah well mind if I join you ? I'm board and Harry is busy fixing the ship
Sasuke: Sorry tom i need to do these things on my own...And don't you have a daughter?
Tom: B'elona didn't want to bring her on the ship during a time of war
Sasuke: Well sorry Tom I must go now
He left the ship and made his way to the promenade, Sakura had not moved, although she wasn't crying anymore, her eyes were still teary. She was sipping on a cup of hot chocolate, she used it to help try to comfort her. Sasuke went to her table, she was looking downwards
Sasuke: Mind if I sit ?
Sakura: ...Sasuke?
Sasuke sat down with her
Sasuke: Look, I want to apologies, I went a bit to far, but sometimes you can be annoying and it gets on my nerves
Sakura: I'm sorry Sasuke...I didn't mean to be annoying
Sasuke: Just forget it and try not do make scenes like that again
Sakura: So...Are you still mad at me?
Sasuke: No, lets go back and check up on Naruto, I don't like to leave him alone
They both start walking
Sakura: Sasuke please tell me, why do you care so much for Naruto?
Sasuke: In many ways we are alike, we both grew up without parents, however he had it worst then me, i still had my brother Itachi, he didn't have anyone
Sakura: Alright I guess I can understand that, but why do you act as if you hate each other?
Sasuke: I don't know
Tenten: Its a guy thing
They both turn around to see Tenten coming from behind them
Tenten: Its all so they look macho, but deep down, there actually emotional softies
She said with a grin, Sasuke had chosen not to respond but Sakura smiled
Tenten: Mind if I tag along? I want to check up on Naruto, I haven't seen him since he was in the Thunders Sickbay, we have been busy with repairs
Sakura: Sure Naruto will be happy to have visitors
They continued talking and made there way to the Medical Center, they found Naruto's bed Empty, the Center was empty
Sasuke: ...Naruto?...Doctor?
Sakura: Computer, where is the Voyager EMH
Computer: That program is offline
Tenten: Offline?
Sasuke: Computer, activate the Voyager EMH
The Doctor was walking towards Naruto's bed
Doctor: You just wait a second!!...
Sasuke: Doctor?
Doctor: Naruto wanted to go training, I told him no...He must of deactivated me when I tried to stop him...
Sasuke: Sounds like Naruto...Lets go find him
Sasuke Sakura and Tenten were walking in the corridor
Sakura: Why is Naruto always so difficult, he just had to stay in bed and relax and what does he do? He runs off to train in his state
Sasuke: And that is why he did it, because he doesn't want to feel weak or for others to think he was weak
Tenten: Tell me why do guys do that?
Sasuke just ignored the question. They had reached the holodeck and Sasuke had access the controls and open the doors, just as he entered a horogen came crashing towards him, Sasuke barely was able to evade him as he went crashing into the wall, he then got back up and went back to attack Naruto
Tenten: My god look at them all
Sasuke: Only horogen? He must just be doing a warm up or maybe he really is weak right now
Sakura: What does he normally fight?
Sasuke: Vulcans who are masters of Vulcan martial arts, that's lvl 16 this looks like...lvl 10
Naruto was fighting off the horogens but was motley in a defensive position, he blocked all the hits, his defence was in perfect sync, as Sasuke thought, this was just a warm up
Sakura: Come on lets stop him before he gets hurt, HEY NARUTO
Naruto let his guard down for a second to look towards Sakura, but it was enough for them to penetrate his defences, 4 of them were able to punch him in the face, 2 kicked him in the stomach and one of them tripped him, they then all ganged up on him
Sakura: ...Oups...
Sasuke: ...Computer end program
The program ended, Tenten ran towards Naruto who was VERY SLOWLY getting up then he collapsed on his knees
Tenten: Why is he bleeding?
Sasuke: He probably turned the safeties off...
Sakura: Naruto your such a pain, what is the doctor going to say when he see's you
Naruto: ...I was fine until you distracted me
Sasuke helped Naruto up by taking his arm around his neck and helping him walk
Sasuke: ...Idiot, lets get you back to the medical center
Naruto: Uh...Mind if we don't?...I kinda turned the doc off and he might still be mad at me
Sakura: We know...We kinda turned him back on before we came here
Tenten: Were do you suggest we go?
Naruto: To our sickbay, where its safe from the Doctor
Sasuke: You know your going to eventually have to face him
Naruto: Sure...In a time where I'm well enough to defend my self from him
They took him to the Thunders sickbay to treat his wounds, they were all minor
It had now been an entire month since the war began, and there was no end in site, many ships were lost, the aliens abilities to disable federation ships was costing them greatly. Captain Tim was in his ready room in a meeting with Janeway
Janeway: Tim I have a mission for you
Tim: Admiral, you assured me that you would take my cadets away from the front lines as soon as new ships arrived, well were still here
Janeway: Tim were losing ships at an alarming rate, I'm sorry but your ship has to stay in active duty in this war, I know you got cadets but there a good group
Tim: Yea...What's the mission "sighs"
Janeway: I'm sending the Enterprise E on a diplomatic mission to Romulas, the Romulans have shown an interest in forming an alliance
Tim: Why would the Romulans want to come out of there neutrality
Janeway: Romulan Federation relations have gone WAY up since the Remen incident with the Enterprise, they for some reason have new respect for us, Captain Riker was sent with the USS Titan shortly after as his first mission to discuss trade routes, and to our surprise, they open there boarders to all Federation trade ships
Tim: I see
Janeway: They want to talk to us about not just forming a temporary alliance but a long term one, like we have with the Klingons, Tim this could be the start of a whole new era, when this war is over, we will be more united then the Alpha quadrant has ever been
Tim: So why do I need to be there? I mean your already sending Picard
Janeway: I need you as an escort, you must protect the Enterprise at all cost
Tim: Understood, so where do I meet up with Jean-Luc?
Janeway: He should be arriving near the Romulan Federation Neutral zone in about 2 days, if you leave now at max warp and head for Star Base 718 you can make it in time
Tim: Understood
Janeway: Good luck captain
