Another Q joke

Enterprise, Worf’s room. 7 A.M.

Worf woke up and once again noticed three things : 1, Rarity wasn’t beside him. 2, there was an pleasant smell on pancakes on the air. 3, the room was way to organized for a place that had seen a Klingon mating.

“Good morning!” He looked to the source of the voice. She was caring a plate of pancakes.

“Morning.” He said, not very sure of how to ask her if she was hurt.

“Pancakes with jelly?” The unicorn floated the plate with 3 pancakes covered with jelly and fruit pieces to the table.

“Yes, thanks. If you don’t mind, did I...” She stooped him by putting her hoof on his lips

“No dear, you didn’t break any of my bones. Sure, my back right leg hurts a little and I am a little sore. But by far the only thing that actually appears is the bite mark.” She pointed at the teeth marks on her cheek, a small amount of blood on them. “I am more then willing to endure this.”

“I have to get ready for the morning shift.” He said, getting on his hooves. Only to be stoped by the white mare.

“No, first you are going to have your breakfeast. It is the most important meal of the day.”

“Fine.” He turned around and sat at the table. She put the plate before him.

“Hope you enjoy.” She said with a smile.

It’s time.

Scootaloo stood up. She looked to the zebra colt that slept on the other mattress.

I hope you can deal with this.

He looked a little younger then her. She couldn’t await any longer. 7:20.

T-minus 1:40 hours. I have to get the damper.

Ponyville, library. 7:30 A.M.

“Twilight! Breakfast is ready.”

“Thanks Spike.” The lavender unicorn looked at the daisy pancakes. “Could you get the girls here? We have only half an hour before the princess comes get us.”

“Okay Twi. Be right back.”

Canterlot, royal garden. 8:00 A.M.

Picard, Riker, Worf, the elements of harmony and Princess Celestia stood in the small green field.

“The attack will begin in one hour. When it does, we will contact you from this device.” He pointed at a small box with an antenna. “And should fire the Psionic wave.” Picard said, pointing at the creature. It was possible to see it with a naked eye as it made it's way towards Equestria. “It will stun it and help the warp core to reach it’s destination.” If they failed, there would be only a few hours before the end.

“Tic tok goes the clock until your fate arrives, tic tok goes the clock for the crew of the Enterprise...” They looked at the source of the voice.

“Q, I hope you take us home after this.” Riker said.

“Yes I will. You are about to learn a important lesson. Try to remember it.” He was by far in his most serious moment. With a snap of fingers, he was gone.

“That song gave me the creeps, and that can’t be good.” Said Pinkie, far more serious then normal.

“I thank you for the help Picard. I hope you return safetly.” Said Celestia.

“Worf, I may never see you again. So here is something for you to remember me.” Rarity floated a small diamond carved to look like a unicorn to him. “Its not very much, but I hope it does it.” She gave him a kiss.

“Thanks. Enterprise: Three to beam up.” The three starfleet officials were now gone, back to the ship.

“So, did you two do it?” Rainbow asked without any kind of warning.

“Yes...” Rarity said, without thinkg. And imeadtly blushed. “I mean, I, oh dear...”

“Don’t sweat sugarcube. But tell me, what is that on your cheek?” Said Applejack, pointing at the bite mark.

“Oh, you see: Klingons bite their mates to  taste their blood and get their scent. He has one of this on his cheek too.”

“Kinky!” Said Pinkie.

“And another question: Is it true what they say about zebras?” The cyan pegasus said.

“Say about what?” Rarity asked.

“That they are bigger...”

“RAINBOW!!!”

Enterprise, main bridge. 8:50 A.M.

“Doctor Crusher, Counselor Troi and Geordi: You have the bridge. Picard to all decks: evacuate to saucer section.”

The crew started to move, there were just a few people left on the stardrive section, and in a few moments, it was clear.

“Done sir.”Data said.

“Good mister Data. Geordi, make sure this ship is safe from any debries.”

“Aye sir.”

“Mister Data, beam us to the battle bridge.”

Data, Riker, Worf and Picard started to glow, and then appearded at the battle bridge on the stardrive section.

“Good, now...” A sound of an activating phaser was heard. Picard a Riker turned to the two officers, who now had their phasers armed and pointing at captain an first officer.

“What is the meaning of this???” Riker asked.

“I am sorry sir.” Data said. “But if we just throw the warp core at the creature the successs chance will be below 3 percent.”

“And how is mutiny going to help improve the situation?” Picard asked, anger on his voice.

“We will guide the core to the target. Manually.” Worf said.

“What??? Can’t you just program the computer to do it?”

“No sir, the stardrive section computer isn’t powerful enough to do it. Neither will the ship make it without proper defence. We will have to pilot it manually.” Data said.

“But you need at least three people to pilot the stardrive section, you are only two!!!” Riker said on an last attempt to persuade the officer to abandon their plan.

“It will have to do.” Worf said and then pressed a button on the tactical console, Picard and riker started to glow.

“No!!! Worf!!!”

Canterlot, royal gardens. 8:55 A.M.

Two ponies started to materialize, much to the elements and the princess surprise.

“Picard, wasn’t you supposed to...”

“Picard to Worf!!! Damn it he left me without the comm badge!”

“Gentlecolts, what is going on?” Rarity asked.

“Its Worf and Data, they think throwing the core isn’t safe, they are going to throw the entire stardrive section into it!”

The ponies and princess gasped.

“But, that will kill him!!!” Rarity said.

“He knows.” Picard added.

The white unicorn's eyes started to fill with tears. Her love was about to commit suicide to ensure the safety of an entire planet. Then an strange noise, like something bursting open was heard from the device.

         __________________________________________

Enterprise, battle bridge. 8:58 A.M.

The two officers looked at the source of the noise, a small pegasus filly wearing an black and gold armor stood beside a open hatch.

“Cadet Scootaloo reporting for duty!”

“Child, what are you still doing here? And how come you don’t appear on the sensors?”

The filly took a small piece of equipment an threw it to Data.

“This is a Bio damper. Where did you get this?”

“I made it myself, it’s easy when the computer can make all the parts you need. All I had to do was assemble it.” She said with a smile on her face.

“We have to take you back to the planet.”

“NO!!!”

The two officers looked to the filly.

“Child, you will DIE if you stay here.”

“I am aware sir.” She said to Worf, keeping a military stance.

“You wish to die. Why?” Data asked.

“All of my life I have been following Rainbow. Trying to get her attention, her approval. I want she to remember me as a hero, someone to be proud of, not ‘that squirt that would allways be kissing my ass” she said.

"How do you know what we are about to do?" The zebra asked.

“I heard you two talking yesterday. And I also heard that this ship is hard to pilot without at least three crew members, so i studied. I read the entire manual on how to operate the Ops station.”

An alert siren started to play.

“The Kraken is now on the moon’s gravitational field. Scootaloo, to Ops. Worf, Tactical. I will take control of the other systems.”

“I just hope you learned something from the manual.” Worf said to the self proclaimed cadet that was now operating the console.

Canterlot, royal garden. 9:01 A.M.

None of the present could believe what they had just heard from the radio.

“SCOOTS!!!” Rainbow dash was crying. She had never cried this hard before. That little filly was about to commit suicide, and it was technically her fault. Rarity wasn’t emitting any sound, but her tears flowed freely through her face.

“There is nothing we can do for them, but wait the signal for the activation of the elements. I am sorry.” Picard said, comforting the two crying mares.

Enterprise, battle bridge. 9:03 A.M.

“Scootaloo, take us in. Half impulse.”

“Aye.”

They were close now, the creature would notice their presence an moment now...

*CLANK*

“Worf, status!”

“Shields at 82 percent.”

“It is time. Scootaloo, evasive maneuvers.” The orange pegasus filly started to turn the ship, only for it to be hit once again.

“Damn, we can’t make it. We have to attack!” She announced.

“Worf, fire phasers, maximum power.”

The phasers hit one of the creature's tentacles, cutting it out. But this only made it angry. Another hit. This time, a strange music started to play on the ship’s speakers.

“Is that supposed to happen commander?” Scootaloo asked, as there was no mention to batle music anywhere on the Ops manual.

“No, probably one of the computer cores started to short circuit. Ignore it.” Data said. “Mr Worf, I am diverting power from the life support to the shields. We wont need it.”

“Aye sir.”

Another hit.

“We need to get in position. Scootaloo, full impulse. Computer, activate warp core directive 42 omega.”

“Directive active. 60 seconds to singularity.”

“Hold on!” Worf said as a tentacle came on direction of the screen. Another hit. “Shields at 40 percent and...”

“WORF!!! LOOK OUT!!!” Before he could do anything, he was kiked off his seat. When he looked back, he saw Scootaloo.

“Kid! What...” A small trail of blood started to pour from the corner of the pegasus mouth. She smiled.

“I shall fly towards death itself.” Scootaloo hit the ground, Worf then saw: a two meter long duranium bar from the ships hull had got loose from the Kraken’s attack. It then flew back to the Enterprise and went through the view screen, leaving a small hole that was closed by the automated containment system and piercing through the filly’s torso.

“Worf, get to tactical!” Data shouted. “Activate the elements now.”

Canterlot, royal garden. 9:06 A.M.

There was no time for feelings. The elements gatherded around Twilight. All it took was four seconds. The rainbow ray shoot its way up towards the threat.

"Good luck you three..." Picard said to himself.

      _____________________________________

Enterprise, battle bridge. 9:06 A.M.

The rainbow beam went through the creature, making it spasm in pain.

“Fourty seconds to impact!” Data said. Suddenlly, the ops console overloaded, sending the android flying through the bridge.

“Data!!!” Worf looked at his friends corpse, his head had been torn off his body. There was no repair this time.

“Thirty seconds to impact.’’ The computer announced.

It didn’t matter now, they had done it. Even if they were destroyed now, the core would overload and take the creature with it. Worf finally stopped to listen to the music.

For my son I had always a plan, for to raise him as best as I can.

Oh well you can bet, my only regret is to not see him grow to a man.

It was painfully like his own life, he thought of Alexander and hoped he would be okay with his grandfather back in the Ural mountains.

Worf sat beside the fallen mare and his android friend head and oppened their eyes.

'Cause this ship's going down

All on account of the weather

He screamed. Not by fear, anger or regrat. But to warn death: Three warriors were about to enter her realm.

Though we'll drown

There's no need to frown

'Cause we're all going together!

“One.”

The core imploded.
