Hey all, sorry this is taking a while to update. I'm currently finishing a short novel, to be published in the next month as well as writing the main novel to be published next week. It's taking a long time as I've been spending a long time working for the funds to publish as well as editing. So much to do at once it is incredible. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope to write the next one within a few days.
Spock scouted around their camp with two guards as Bones checked over an unconscious Kirk.
"Doc, how be the cap'in?"
Scotty's voice sounded pained. As if seeing his friend injured was pulling all the emotional strength in him at once. To everybody on the Enterprise, Kirk was like a brother, father or son. Always looking out for the men aboard his ship.
"Scotty I need to get him on board the Enterprise now. Without sickbay he'll die. I haven't got enough equipment on me to save him"
McCoy looked at Kirk as his ran his scanner along Kirks body. He needed to try understand where he was injured the most and to see how much he can do. Sighing Mccoy looked at the readings on his Tricorder and felt hopes washed away quickly at the readings. Preparing a hypo he slowly injected Kirk to make him relaxed.
"Scotty, we need to get Jim somewhere warm"
Nodding to Mccoy's order, Scotty waved Cheqov and the third security guard over to Jim. Together they lifted up his limp body and walked through the tree's to a small cave. Uhura checked around the cave then gave Mccoy the all clear before they set Jim down on a soft patch. Lowering down to her captains side Uhura sat next to Kirk as Scotty, Cheqov and Mccoy walked outside. As they went to the opening of the cave, they all looked back as a relaxing singing voice filled the air. Uhura was singing for the captain, one of his favourite songs in latin. After knowing that Kirk was looked after whilst they went outside, they all walked to a tree. Scotty leaned against the tree arms crossed as both Cheqov and Mcoy crossed theirs.
"Wha's the situation, Doc?"
Mccoy looked to Cheqov then Scotty. They both seemed unharmed physically, but he could see the emotional strain of them seeing their captain hurt.
"It's not good news Scotty. He's got internal bleeding in his stomach, his left lung is collapsed, he has a broken right elbow, dislocated and fractured left ankle, and not to mention the serve concussion from the blast…"
Mccoy watched the horror in Scotty's and Cheqov's faces as the realisation of how badly injured their captain was.
"How long until the cap'in's…"
Mccoy turned around to Scotty.
"Don't you think for one minute I'm going to give up on him Scotty. All I can do is use the equipment I've got here unless we can get some medical supplies. The only thing I can say is he needs to be on the enterprise within 24 hours. I can keep him going for the next 24 hours with hypo's but I'll run out and when that happens it will be an emergency to get Jim onto the Enterprise or we will be having that green blooded hobgoblin taking over the Enterpri.."
"I am guessing the captains situation is critical doctor"
Turning around Mccoy glared at the pointed eared Vulcan looking at him.
"You heard correct Mr Spock. May I also add we cannot and I emphasise we cannot move the captain anymore. As soon as he sits up he'll bleed and I won't have enough hypo's to control his blood loss"
Spocks eyebrow rose as it usual did, then nodded and looked to Scotty.
"The surrounding area looks clear, there is however a town half a mile south west. The logical command would be to send two people to survey and report. However I suggest logically that I and Mr Cheqov go see whether we can find any medical supplies or help within the town."
"I vill be velcome to help the cap'in Mr Spock"
Nodding at Cheqov's acceptance. Spock looked to Scotty.
"I believe it is logical that you stay with the Doctor Mr Scott. It would be wise if you could try create a way so that we can communicate with the Enterprise. I have found no logical reason as to why we were teleported from the bridge to here after the attack."
"I'll get crack'n Mr Spock"
Spock crouched down to Kirks side.
"Hang in there captain. We'll get you help. You've got Mccoy giving you the best help you can"
Mr spock ignored the raised eyebrow and shock splashed on Mccoy's face. He looked to the guards then back to the unconscious Kirk.
"Behave for the doctor captain"
Now spock would have surely left the doctor gobsmacked. But he knew logically he needed to keep the situation calm.
"I'm sure you don't want the poor doctor having a heart attack… Jim. I'll return once we have found some help for doctor Mccoy to treat you"
Getting up Spock walked away with Cheqov to the town he spotted south west of their location.
"Why you green blooded pointy eared hobgoblin…"
Mr spock hid the small smile he had on his face as he knew inside if kirk were to have heard him, then he would understand the joke. He rarely called his captain Jim but he knew on this occasion it was needed. Though he gave Mccoy some complements, he knew he couldn't let them go too far. Looking to Cheqov to ensure he hadn't picked up on the brief release of emotions, he received a nod.
"Let's go Mr Cheqov, we have a journey to progress to find help for the captain"
Jim looked around. He was alone on the bridge of what looked like the Enterprise. Fear was washing over him as he realised he was alone but unsure of why. He walked to the elevator but the doors didn't open. Frowning, Jim tried to pry the door open but it seemed to be completely locked shut. Turning around he looked at the main screen. It was turned off but he felt as if something wasn't right. A gut feeling waved through him.
"Jim. Jim try wake up its bones"
"Bones?! Where are you?"
Looking around Jim tried to hunt for Bones but couldn't find him.
"Bone's I'm in the bridge where are you?"
"Jim come on wake up"
Frowning Jim walked over to the Conn chair. Pressing his usual buttons, he began to speak on speaker throughout the ship.
"This is captain kirk. I am locked in the bridge, Mccoy, Scotty, Spock? Someone come in"
Nothing… No reply.
Frowning Jim looked to the screen. Slowly a figure of Mccoy formed in front of him.
"Bones…?"
"Jim. Come on wake up. I'm not having you die on me."
"Bones what are you talking about! Bones what is going on? Where is everybody"
"Jim! No Jim! Come on stay with me. Don't give up Jim, the pointy eared hobgoblin won't be happy if I lose you! Come on Jim you can do it. Get that heart pumping!"
Jim watched at Bones crouched down, doing what looked like CPR on a light laying on the floor. Slowly the light turned into a shape, then formed the look of… Captain James T Kirk. Gulping down the shock Jim looked ahead. His stomach turned inside out as he watched his best friend bones doing CPR on what looked like himself. Was he dead..? Was he watching his dead body?
Jim walked towards bones but each step he took everything began to fade into a white light. Quickly everything turned into pure light.
"Jim! Stay with me Jim!"
Jim looked around him, feeling tired and weak he let his body collapse under him. Falling to the white floor he felt nothing. Just fatigue washing over him. Quickly his body was too weak.
"Bones…"
Letting out a breath, Jim let his eyes close and fell into the cool peaceful sleep. Nothing but peace and quiet.
Sorry it's a shortish chapter. Hope you all like it! Please review as it helps keep my confidence going :)
