Book 2 - Star Trek Predator: SFA, Konoha Style - Chapter 7, Battle Above Romulus , Final Chapter
The ships had finally reached Romulus, however they arrived to see a huge space battle in progress
Tim: My god
Sasuke: Hinata what's the status
Hinata: I'm detecting 98 Cardassian ships against 59 Romulan ships and a Starbase
Naruto: What do we do?
Hinata: We are being hailed by the Starbase
Base Commander: Romulus is not safe, you must turn around before you are drawn into the battle and destroyed
Hinata: The Enterprise is responding
Picard: It looks like you could use some help, and as future allies, I see no better way then to lend a hand, Romulus shall not fall, the Empire and the Federation shall stand together
Hinata: Now there hailing us
Tim: On screen
Picard: I want you to leave the area, I don't want your crew of cadets to get hurt, I chose to enter the battle but you don't have to, head back towards Federation space
Tim looked around at his crew and stood up
Tim: You see that's where we have a problem, I was ordered to protect the Enterprise at all cost until the treaty is signed, and since you haven't signed the treaty yet, well our job isn't over
Picard: Tim, you have a crew of inexperienced Cadets, don't put them in danger, get them out of here
Tim: Sorry Jean Luc, but I'm not going to let you have all the fun, Thunder out, Red Alert, all hands battle stations Naruto take us into the fight, Shikamaru arm quantum torpedoes and prepare to fire on my command
The bridge crew full of confidence after the speech from there captain
Naruto: We are now entering the battle
Hinata: 3 cardassian ships have broken off of the main attack force and is attacking us
Tim: Evasive manoeuvres, Shikamaru fire all forward weapons, and as soon as we pass them fire aft torpedoes
The Thunder let out a barrage of fire power ripping threw the shields of the cardassian ship causing
massive damage, then the aft torpedoes made a direct hit and the ship explodes from a core breach
Naruto: The 2 others are right behind us, I cant shake them
Shika: There firing torpedoes brace for impact
4 torpedoes hit the aft shields of the Thunder, causing them to fail and minor damage
Hinata: Minor damage to impulse engines
Shika: Aft shields have failed, the armour took the brunt of the damage
Roger: If it wasn't for the armour we would have more then minor engine damage
Tim: Naruto I want you to make them think we have more then minor engine damage, shut down the port engine and make it leak plasma
Naruto: Sir?
Tim: Trust me, Shikamaru, stand by with weapons, target there warp reactor
The ships were gaining on the Thunder, they had slowed down to take better shots, Tim smiled and said
Tim: Naruto full power to the top forward thrusters and bottom aft ones, Shikamaru...FIRE ALL WEAPONS
The ship did a perfect 180 back flip and was now facing the cardassians, Shikamaru fired everything he had at there reactor and destroyed one of them, the other one mad after being cough with its pants down retaliates
Shika: Torpedoes incoming!
3 torpedoes hit the forward shields but 1 somehow gets passed the shields and hits near the bridge causing massive explosions on the bridge the entire bridge crew where thrown from there stations, the ship was drifting, Naruto got up and retook the helm, Hinata got up, a bruise to the head, she had a little blood coming from her forehead but she just ignored it
Hinata: Hull breach on deck 3 and 2, EPS relays on decks 5 have ruptured
She looked on the ground and found Tim still laying on the floor
Hinata: ...Captain?
She run to his side and takes a medical tricorder, scanning him, to her horror
Hinata: ...He is dead!!
Roger: Captain !! Alright I'm taking command
As he said that, the cardassian fired again this time the forward shields collapsed and the 2 torpedoes hit causing massive explosions and bulkheads to collapse, one of them fell on LT Rogers killing him on the spot
The bridge was in shambles, fires raging, Hinata once again got up and looked at her console
Hinata: Multiple hull breaches on decks 2 3 4 and 5, main power is offline, secondary power relays coming online, sensors have been damaged and the navigation array is offline, warp engines are offline
Sasuke got up from the ground wiping sweat and blood from his face, he looked at LT Rogers and was horrified to see his body literally squashed by a bulkhead Shikamaru got up from the ground and fired back causing massive damage to the enemy ship
Shikamaru: There forward shields are offline, firing again
This time the ship exploded in flames as there core was destroyed, Sasuke looked around, he didn't know what to do, last time he was in command he almost killed his best friend...
Naruto: Sir what are your orders ?...Your in command now Sasuke do we retreat ?
Shika: We wouldn't go far without warp and damaged impulse engines
Hinata: Not to mention Navigational systems are offline
Sasuke: No...We have our orders, we protect the Enterprise...Naruto take us back into the fight, Shika, show them what you can do
Hinata Naruto and Shikamaru nodded and showed there support for Sasuke as there new "Captain" and the Thunder rejoined the battle
Meanwhile down in main engineering
Kiba: Damn it LT Jake is dead
Ino: Get a grip Kiba, you have to take his place
Kiba looked at her as Neji came running in
Neji: We got a plasma fire on deck 7 it could ignite the deuterium storage tanks
Kiba: Neji take a team and put out that fire
Neji picked out 3 other engineers and they ran towards the turbolift
The ship shakes an explosion throws a cadet on the ground
Kiba: Medical emergency in main engineering
Sakura: "on the comm." Sorry Kiba we are swamped, I will try and get down there as soon as I can
Kiba: Damn it
Tenten: Don't worry I will carry him over to sickbay, you just concentrate on your job
Kiba: We need to reroute power threw the secondary EPS systems, the main ones are ruptured on Deck 5
An other shot causing more explosions threw Kiba to the ground, steam started pouring out from the core, Kiba ran to a console
Kiba: Containment is failing!! Ino get to the access panel and shut down the core
Ino ran for the console and taped in the sequence to shut the core down, the humming from the Warpcore went silent and the once blue/Red core went black
Meanwhile on the bridge...
Hinata: Hull breach on deck 6, the warpcore is offline aft torpedoes have been destroyed hull is down to 63 casualties coming in from all decks, there is a plasma fire on deck 7 that could ignite the the deuterium tanks
Shika: Shields down to 36
Naruto: Port impulse engine is offline
Sasuke: What's the status ?!
Hinata: We destroyed more then half there fleet, but the Romulans have also suffered loses, the Starbase is the only thing keeping them from overrunning us
Sasuke: Target the lead ship and fire
The thunder fired all it had at the lead Cardassian ship, it was enough to cause moderate damage, and enough to get its attention, it returned fire hitting the thunder dead on ripping the hull of the ship to pieces, the fires on the bridge raging, but they didn't have time to put them out
Sasuke: Shikamaru use weapons on overload
Shika: But that could cause massive damage
Sasuke: At this point I think I don't care
Shikamaru looked at Sasuke then at Hinata and Naruto, they were both concentrated on there tasks and Shikamaru nodded
Shika: Aye...Firing quantum torpedoes on overload...
4 quantum torpedoes were fired causing massive backlash, the torpedo tubes exploded sending the ship flying, the torpedoes hit the enemy ship head on causing massive damage, the Romulans finished the job destroying the command ship for the enemy
Hinata: Hull is down to 24, all torpedo tubes have been destroyed
Shika: Shields have collapsed
Naruto: Impulse engines have failed
Shika: One hit will finish us...Sir incoming torpedo
They watched helplessly the view screen was showing the torpedo heading right for them, it grew bigger and bigger on the screen
Sasuke: ...I'm sorry guys i lead you all to our deaths...
just as the torpedo is about to hit the ship, it finds nothing but shields
Hinata: The Enterprise is right below us, they have extended there shields
Picard: This is the Enterprise, prepare for beam out
With that said everyone was beamed off of the Thunder 5 seconds latter 3 torpedoes hit the Thunder causing the hull to collapse, out of nowhere multiple Romulan ships decloak and start to fire on the Cardassians and turning the tide of the battle, with there lead ship destroyed they were now disorganized and decided to retreat with the new odds in the favour of the Romulans
When the battle was over, the Thunder was destroyed, many Romulan ships destroyed, the Starbase was badly damaged but still operational and the Enterprise was in orbit of Romulus getting ready to sign the treaty
Romulus was secure from enemies ships, the Starbase was under repairs and the Enterprise was in orbit of Romulus, Picard had just signed the treaty that made Federation and the Romulan Star Empire were officially allies, unlike the dominion alliance, this was a long term alliance like the one they had with the Klingons
Picard had requested that the entire Senior Staff of the Thunder report to the observation lounge, Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata and Sakura were part of the senior staff, and the 2 surviving officers, a Doctor and a Security officer
Picard: Where is captain Tim?
Sasuke: He died in the middle of the battle sir...
Picard: Who took command?
Sasuke: LT Rogers...Seconds before he was crushed by a bulkhead
Picard: So your saying you were in command?
Sasuke: Yes sir... And I know I screwed up, I take full responsibility for the destruction of the Thunder sir, I should have taken her away from the battle when Captain Tim and LT Rogers were killed
Picard: But you didn't
Naruto: He did the right thing!!
Sakura: Shut up Naruto !
Naruto: I wont stand by and let Sasuke go down alone
Shika: Your so troublesome...Just calm down
Picard looked at the group of cadets in front of him and couldn't help but smile, he thought, if this is our future, then it looks like its going to be an interesting one
Picard: You didn't let me finish, no you didn't take the Thunder away from battle, you turned her right into the fight and took out the command ship, causing chaos in the enemy attack, if that ship wouldn't have been destroyed I don't know how much more damage would of been caused I have no doubt the Romulan reinforcement would have still gotten here in time, but the home fleet would of been decimated and the base probably destroyed
Naruto: So Sasuke is not in trouble?
Picard: No, I'm just impressed, a group of cadets took over a ship in the middle of a battle and you did not lose your cool, you stayed calm
Worf: "over the comm." Message from Starfleet captain, its Admiral Janeway
Picard: Patch it threw here
Janeway: Jean Luc, its nice to see your safe, and that the treaty has been signed
Picard: Yes admiral
Janeway: I heard the Thunder was destroyed during the battle, the Romulans say it fought with honour until the end
Picard: Yes, however we were able to rescue the crew
Janeway: Really? Is Tim alive?
Picard: No Admiral, only 2 officers survived and a hand full of Cadets, the ones called Konoha Cadets survived as well
Janeway: That's good to hear, I am however sadden by the lost of Captain Tim, maybe he was right, Red Squad or not, they were cadets
Picard: Well I can tell you , had the thunder not been there, we would of not have had the same outcome, I would like to recommend commendations for the entire Red Squad, especially the Senior Staff of the Thunder
Janeway: I see, I will note it, I also have an announcement to make to the Red Squad Cadets, may I speak to Sasuke?
Picard: He and his senior staff are with me
Janeway: Ah, Sasuke
Sasuke: Yes admiral?
Janeway: The Red Squad will now operate on board the USS Enterprise, your new commanding officer will be Picard, he will decide the positions you get if any on board the ship, and one more thing...All Red Squad cadets graduate 1 year early, due to the war we are in need of more crews, and from everything I hear, Red Squad will be more then ready
Sasuke: Yes Ma'am !
Janeway: Janeway out
Picard: Well this is interesting...Red Squad on the Enterprise...
Sasuke: We will try not to get in your hair Sir
Picard: Well its only for a few months, I'm sure you can all resume your old jobs on the Enterprise
The Cadets look at each other
Picard: Just resume your jobs on the Enterprise, you will become my senior staff, and my senior staff will become your teachers, welcome to the Enterprise, now lets go on that tour I offered you guys
Everyone looked at each other, they couldn't believe it they smiled as they fallowed Picard out of the lounge
