Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, and Scotty woke up in the Engineering Room, tied to poles by rope and metal chains. Captain Kirk flickered his eyes open and saw both Dr. McCoy and Scotty knocked out, tied up just as he was. Captain Kirk squirmed, trying to release himself from the trap, but was unsuccessful. Scotty was next to wake up and screamed at the sight.
"Captain, what do I do?!" Scotty cried.
"Hold on, Scotty; I'll get us out of this mess." Captain Kirk spoke, forcing himself against the rope and pole to untie the rope and chains.
"Where's Julia, lad," Scotty wailed.
"I don't know," Captain Kirk answered.
"Mr. Spock killed her,"
"Spock did not kill Julia; he's probably just holding her for ransom to make us join his side."
"Dr. McCoy's gonna be ragin' mad, when he sees the little lassie gone."
"I'll try to ease him, when that happens…as for now…I've…gotta…get out of this…trap!" Captain Kirk exclaimed, trying with all his strength to tear lose from his cage he had been put into.
Dr. McCoy fluttered his eyes open and slowly looked around then realized he was tied up against a pole.
"Jim…how the hell did I get here?!" Dr. McCoy cried.
"That's what the rest of us would like to know, Bones." Captain Kirk answered.
Dr. McCoy scanned around every inch of the room, displeased with whatever it was he was trying to find. His face drained of all color, and his eyes were basically out of their sockets.
"Where's my baby," Dr. McCoy ordered, softly.
"I don't know, lad," Scotty answered.
"Someone tell me where my baby is! Where is she; where's my baby?!" Dr. McCoy hollered.
"We'll get her back, Bones, I promise." Captain Kirk reassured.
"I don't care whether Spock's doing this from an evil spirit or not; I'll kill that man, if I see him!" Dr. McCoy snapped.
The three men suddenly heard a machine turn on and make a whoosh kinda noise.
"What was that," Scotty wondered.
"It sounded like an engine turning on." Captain Kirk answered.
They then heard a faint cry coming from not too far away, and Dr. McCoy's eyes bulged more from their sockets.
"Julia," He screamed. Dr. McCoy slipped out from his trap and went running to find Julia. Captain Kirk and Scotty were left baffled.
"How did he do that, Captain?!" Scotty exclaimed.
Somewhere else in Engineering…
Dr. McCoy was running and sliding through pipes and machines. For a man who just had emergency surgery to deliver his newborn daughter, he was moving as if it had never occurred. Dr. McCoy stopped, when he reached a machine and peeped from behind it. He saw Spock, and his men, and Spock was holding Julia, crying and fussing, wanting her daddy.
Dr. McCoy glared at Spock.
"Don't worry, munchkin; Daddy's coming for yah." Dr. McCoy hissed, softly.
Dr. McCoy ran silently out from behind the machine and kicked Giotto down to the ground. Spock glared at him and looked at Riley and Kyle. Riley and Kyle tried approaching Dr. McCoy. Dr. McCoy socked both of them in their jaws. Giotto got up, and Dr. McCoy flipped him onto the ground. Riley jumped on top of Dr. McCoy's back, then Dr. McCoy flung Riley off and onto the ground. Dr. McCoy and Kyle had a hold of one another and swung each other from side to side, before Dr. McCoy gained enough muscle power to shove Kyle off to the ground. Dr. McCoy quickly grabbed his phaser out, set it to 'stun', and fired at all three men, knocking them out.
Spock eyed Dr. McCoy, nothing but flames and evil burning in his eyes. He set down Julia on the cold, hard floor and approached Dr. McCoy. The two Starfleet Officers began at each other; kicking, hitting, scratching, and pummeling one another. Captain Kirk and Scotty had managed to escape from their traps and had found Dr. McCoy. The two watched in horror, as Dr. McCoy took on a man 3 feet taller than him and had more muscle power than ten men. Scotty eyed Julia in the corner balling, and the gentle Scotsman ran to her, picked her up in the safety of his arms, and ran back to Captain Kirk.
"We've gotta do something, Captain!" Scotty cried.
"We will; let's just see how long Bones can take him." Captain Kirk ordered.
Dr. McCoy and Spock were at each others' throats. Spock got shoved into machines, and so did Dr. McCoy. After so many swings and running into machines, Spock pushed off Dr. McCoy, and he fell into the hard wall. Dr. McCoy wouldn't get back up, grabbing his belly. He was in too much pain from his burning stitches and scarring from when he delivered Julia. Spock was standing over him…and had a knife in his hand.
