9. Taken

If there was one thing Jim hated in life, it was the feeling of helplessness. He had felt helpless when his mother would leave him behind with an empty home, a brother who abandoned him and a stepdad who hated him. He felt helplessness when he watched half the colonists of Tarsus 4 murdered in cold blood. He felt helplessness when Vulcan was consumed by a black hole. There were many times where Jim felt helpless and he hated it.

They had been following the alien ship that had attacked Cestus-3 when they suddenly came out of warp and their engines ceased to function, dead in space. A voice then began to speak to them, explaining that they were called the Metrons and that the Enterprise along with the alien ship had crossed into their space on a mission of violence.

Jim had explained the reason for their pursuit, stating that the unknown vessel attacked a Federation outpost and killed many innocent people without warning or reason. While the Metrons stated that it was a well thought out argument, they felt it within their rights to intervene and settle the matter.

"We have prepared a planet with a suitable atmosphere and one of your subordinates will be taken there along with one from the Gorn ship which you are pursuing. There your conflict shall be resolved."

"Why one of my crew? I'm the Captain, I should go down!" Jim had argued.

"This is a test of your subordinates Captain, a reflection of you and your leadership. We have posed this to both you and the Gorn as well. Your subordinate will be provided with a recording-translating device. They will not be permitted to communicate with you or your ship." Jim swallowed. They would be totally alone, isolated and none of them would know what was going on.

"The place we have prepared contains sufficient elements for either person to construct weapons lethal enough to destroy the other, which is in accordance with the intentions of both ships. The winner shall be allowed to return to his ship and go his way unharmed. The loser along with his ship shall be destroyed in the interests of peace. The contest will be one of ingenuity and strength. The results will be final."

Jim began to argue that the Metrons had no right to force one of his crew members to fight to the death, that just because they claimed the area as their own didn't give them the right insert themselves into a conflict that had nothing to do with them. It was playing god, toying with human life. Yet the Metron refused to listen and suddenly there was a scream from Uhura. Whirling around, Jim felt horror sink into him. He could see Uhura at her station, her hands cupped over her mouth. He could see Spock standing halfway from his chair, frozen and unmoving. McCoy stood directly behind him, eyes wide and reflecting the fear Jim felt in himself. But the young captain didn't see Harry or Teddy whom had been there just seconds before. Both were gone and they were helpless.
