Chapter 13: Klingons:

Author's Note: I'm back! 8D! I don't own Star Trek or romulans. I'm going to say in advance that there's a little moment between Zorek and Cubius that you might not like, but please forgive me for it. I'm just trying to stick to how my characters are.

"They are firing at us! Should we attack them, sir?" Sorya asked.

"Yes, do it. Fire the photon torpedoes." Zorek replied.

"Direct hit, sir."

Sorya gasped, "There's about seven klingon ships coming at us."

"Oh no."

"What do we do?"

"We-

Sorya, Kelaar, and Rollore are beamed away leaving only Zorek and Cubius.

"What in the worlds? How did they do that through the shields?"

"They must have worked together to find a way, sir." Cubius replied.

The ship was shot at multiple times. Zorek and Cubius both worked to fire back, but there were just too many klingon ships.

"There are too many of them!" Zorek shouted.

"I don't believe we can win against them, sir." Cubius said as the ship began to shake badly from the klingons's attacks.

"Dammit, there has be a way!" Zorek yelled.

"Zorek, we have to surrender."

"Fine, but promise me one thing Cubius."

"What sir?"

"Don't tell the others that I did this."

"Did wha-"

Cubius was cut off by Zorek kissing him passionately.

Cubius pushed him away gently, "Zorek, this isn't right. Not us. Amity may be gone but she loved you and you love her. I can't let myself get in the way of that and don't worry I won't tell anyone. This will be between us no matter what."

Zorek nodded, "You're right, Cubius. I'm sorry I did what I did. I only did it because I thought we would die and I always sort of liked you."

Cubius smiled, "Don't be sorry, sir."

"Okay."

Just before they surrendered to the klingons, more romulan ships came to aid them and they shot at the klingon ships.

"Cubius, tell them about our missing crew members. I don't want them to blow up the klingon ships with some of my comrades being prisoners there."

"I already did, sir. They said they got our comrades safe."

"Good."

A klingon beamed onto the ship and went to attack Cubius.

"Cubius!" Zorek shouted before hitting the klingon hard in the face and knocking him to the floor.

The klingon growled.

Zorek grew irritated and wrapped his hands around the klingons throat and sat on top of him, "You bastard! How dare you try and attack my friend?"

"You are just a dirty romulan and so is your friend. Your lives mean nothing."

Zorek looked pissed and dramatically tightened his grip. The klingon began to struggle for air, but Zorek only tightened his grip more.

Eventually, the klingon died and Zorek let go and stared at his hands. Once, he got over the shock of killing someone, his lips upturned slightly and he felt a strange feeling of pleasure. Zorek was a bit confused as this was the first man he ever killed and he had expected to feel guilty, but he didn't.

"You okay, sir?" Cubius asked.

"Yeh," Zorek said unsure.

He stared at the klingon for a while unable to look away.

"Are you disturbed, sir?" Cubius asked.

"No, Cubius, strangely I'm not." Zorek answered.

"If you say so, sir."

Zorek eventually looked away, "Send a message to the other ships. I want to know if any of them figured out what the klingons were doing so deep in our territory."

"Yes, sir."

"We are getting a message back, sir. Commander Tomalak wants to talk to you."

"On screen."

Tomalak came on screen, "I got you crewmates here with me, commander. I hope you weren't to worried."

"I knew that. Have you found out what the klingons wanted?"

"Yes, we have. It seems there after a rare and valuable resource we have in our possession."

"What kind of resource?"

"Let's just say it's a powerful resource capable of instantly discovering cloaked vessels. It's still in the experimental stage of coarse, but with this we will be capable of destroying klingon threats easily."

"So they wanted to destroy this resource before we could use it to destroy them?"

"Yes."

"Hmmph... I have to thank you commander for saving us."

"Don't mention it."

The screen cut off and Zorek's crew was beamed back abroad the ship.

"Good to have you guys back." Zorek said smiling.

"Good to have you back to, sir." Sorya said, "So what are we doing now."

Zorek smiled widely and Sorya waited for his reply.
