Chapter 12:
*No One's POV*
On the Narada's bridge, a Romulan Helmsman run over to Nero, announcing, "the drill's been sabotaged, sir."
"Launch the red matter, now," Nero orders.
Kirk and Sulu manages to pull themselves from the control back out onto the drill's outer hull. That's when they hear a sound...a high pitched shriek. It's getting louder as it falls toward them. The two look up just in time to see the red matter pod flies past them. Plummets head towards Vulcan's surface, disappearing into the drilled gaping hole.
At first...nothing, but what looks like a puff of smoke appearing up from the planet's core. A shockwave blasts upward, all the way up to the drill. The two can feel it, loosing their balance.
"Kirk to Enterprise! They just launched something toward the planet!"
Vulcan has scenes of destruction across on it as it starts to come apart. Huge fissures form into the desert terrain, cracking spreads, mountains crumble. Plates shirting, lava spewing skyward. The heat and concussive blast shakes.
*T'Aimnu's POV*
Medbay has come its own war zone. I am running back and forth of injured patients with Leonard mirroring my actions.
"Bridge to Medbay!" Cousin Spock's voice screams through the communication.
"Dr. T'Aimnu here," I answered it, out of breath.
"Cousin T'Aimnu meet me at the transporter room immediately!"
"Yes Cousin Spock."
"Do you have to go?" Leonard asked me softly, pulling me into a hug.
"I must, I Creature and Vulcan promise to return to you my love," I replied softly, pressing my lips on his before leaving.
*Meanwhile*
Vulcan under destruction shows through holograms to Nero, who appears to be pleased. He turns to Ayel ordering, "Retract the drill, let's move out!"
The drill platform lurches and begins to retracting just like he ordered. It banks causing Sulu fall back, off the platform without his chute. Kirk, who was holding on, watching this with eyes widen. He knows what he must do so he went into action by running and jumping down. His fall grew fast with his arms to his sides and rockets downward, creating more speed. Sulu was freefalling down. Soon the gap between them narrows down. Kirk ends up slamming his friend in a mid air tackle. They tumble together. He made grab and locks his arms around Sulu, screaming, "I gotcha! Now pull my chute!"
Sulu does and it opens. The double weight rips it, snapping away from them. Now they're free falling without a chute. Their eyes are seeing the ground coming at them fast.
"Enterprise, we're falling without a chute! Beam us up! Beam us up!"
The transporter chief works on his controls, sweating, trying to lock onto Kirk and Sulu. "I'm trying! I can't lock on your signal!"
Chekov hears this, watching his controls with Uhura watches as well.
"You're moving too fast!" the Transporter chief exclaims.
"No, I can do that, I can do that!" Chekov yells, bolting out.
"The black hole's expanding," a crew member calls out, "we won't reach minimum safe distance if we don't leave immediately!"
Chekov continues on through the corridors into the engine room, yelling, "Move! I can do that! I can do that!" He races to the controls, out of breath, yells once more, "I can lock on! Gimme manual control! Quick!"
Still speed dropping down, terrified, Kirk screams out, "Enterprise, where are you?!"
The youngest member of the crew begins to rapidly work on the controls.
Lava, miles high, bursts into the sky where Kirk and Sulu are still dropping down fast.
"Now Now Now Now! Do it now!"
"Compensating gravitational pull and…." he finally finds them, "gotcha!" He hits the button and Kirk and Sulu dematerialized and rematerialized, slamming down on the transporter pads. The engineers from the transporters gasps in amazement and relief.
Chekov is sweating from the pressure and laughs at his work. Kirk and Sulu get their bearings in order, peeling themselves up, whispers, "Thanks." "Yea, not a problem."
*T'Aimnu's POV*
"Step aside," Cousin Spock says to Kirk and Sulu, "we're going to the surface."
"The surface of what?!" Kirk exclaims to the two cousins who are running over to the transporter. "YOU'RE GOING DOWN THERE? Are you nuts?!"
"Energize," Cousin Spock orders and soon we are dematerialized.
We are now materialized down. A scream escapes my lips when I see what has happened. The land around us is collapsing, imploding, and exploding. Cousin Spock grabs my hand and we run towards the Mountain to the entrance of the Ark.
Our feet takes us through the tunnels while our world shakes around us. Finally we enter into the Ark chamber where we find five Vulcan elders. Uncle Sarek and Father are among them with their hands place on the Sarcophagus ark. Mind melding with it. Aunt Amanda and Mother are kneeling beside their husbands.
Mother notices us as she stands, "T'Aimnu! Spock!" This catches the attention of Aunt Amanda as she too stand.
"Vulcan is meeting the same fate as Creature," I explained to them, "we must evacuate immediately!"
Everyone on Vulcan knows about the Creature Home Planet and we lead them out of the tunnels to where more of our beloved home is collapsing and coming towards us! I stayed closer to Mommy and Daddy, feeling scared and trembling.
"Spock to Enterprise: take us back now!" Cousin Spock orders in his tricorder.
All of us grow closer because of the horrible sights creates sinkholes. The group, Cousin Spock, and I are sharing the same thought and emotion. We are going to die. Cousin Spock and I look over to Aunt Amanda as she speaks to her son quietly, "it's okay, to be scared."
Lights dart start to trace us and we begin to evaporate as the ground drop from under Aunt Amanda! She's being suck down away from us. Cousin Spock reaches for her, calling out, "Mother!"
As soon as we are materialized onto the pad, I drop down to my knees with my hands on the ground, crying my eyes out. Aunt Amanda is gone! Mother kneels down to me, pulling me into a hug.
