Knight In Shining Armour

Diamond and Jefferson made their way down to the lowest level of the base, hiding every once in a while to avoid patrols. As soon as they hit the bottom, alarms went off and they could hear running and shouts moving away from them. They both smiled at each other knowing what just happened. They came out of their last hiding spot and walked towards what Diamond thought was the cell Cura was in. A lone individual dressed in a long black smock intercepted them. He saw the two officers and started to run.::

Jefferson: ::running over and grabbing him:: Hold it there, where do you think you’re going?

He held the man pinned to the wall by the throat. Diamond walked up and addressed him.::

Diamond: I need some information and you are going to give it to me. Where are you holding the Star Fleet Officer?

The man looked around for help and Jefferson tighten his grip. ::

Jefferson: Tell him or else.

Since the grip on his throat restricted his vocal cords, he nodded in the direction of the door at the end of the hall.::

Diamond: Thank you.

Diamond nodded to Jefferson who knocked the mans head against the wall. He let go of him and watched his body slide down into a pile on the floor. Together they walked towards the door. Diamond placed his ear next to it and heard faint voices while Jefferson kept watch. Out of the corner of his eye, Jefferson saw a flash of metal and then a beam. Acting from pure instinct, he pushed Diamond out of the way.::

Jefferson: Watch out doc.

Taking the blast instead of Diamond, Jefferson fell to the floor. Diamond looked at the spot where the shot came from and saw the informant on the floor with a phasor pointed at him. With out thinking, Diamond pulled his dagger out and threw it at him. Diamonds aim was better than the mans reflexes as the dagger imbedded itself in the man’s throat killing him instantly.::

Diamond crawled over to Jefferson and found him dead. After all the arguments they had about duty and orders, Jefferson’s last act was that of following a prior order, keep the doctor safe at all costs. Diamond stood and walked over to the dead body of Jefferson’s murderer and looked down on it with anger and frustration, grabbed his dagger and pulled it out. He walked back, bent down.::

Diamond: I swear to you, I will finish this and make your death mean something. You were a great strategist, and would have been a great leader.

Diamond stood up and walked over to the door that separated Diamond and his friend, and with his anger giving him strength, broke open the door to the cell and saw a Klingon holding Cura in his arms. She was barely clothed and the sight of him holding her like that made Diamonds blood boil even worse. He drew his rapier and yelled at him::

Diamond: Let her go, NOW!

Rushing across the room, Diamond hit the Klingon square in the back which made him drop Cura and stagger away from her. Being a Klingon, the warrior in him took over as his blood started to boil. He pulled a knife out of his clothing and took a defensive posture.::

K’Sek: I didn’t know that Star Fleet Officer’s were so eager to die. Diamond: Only when their fellow officers are in danger.

Diamond made a lunge at K’Sek which he easily deflected. Diamonds training as a duelist took over and he started to juggle his sword. K’Sek looked on in amusement.::

K’Sek: Changed your mind? Going to entertain me instead?

Diamond ignored the gibe’s as he went into his attack movement. He continued to spin and juggle his rapier around his body, faster and faster, moving closer and closer to K’Sek. He started to make moves as if to hit K’Sek, which K’Sek blocked, but they were coming faster and harder. Not expecting the ferocity of Diamonds attack, K’Sek retreated as he tried to deflect the blows, which caused him to loose his smile. In a flash, Diamond struck with multiple hits that K’Sek couldn’t block, not all of them at least, which backed him into a wall. With a final spin, Diamond stopped with the point of his rapier settled in the middle of K’Sek’s throat.::

Diamond: Drop the dagger.

A loud metallic sound echoed as the dagger hit the floor::

Diamond: Now, if you would, please make a move and give me a reason to finish my thrust.

K’Sek stretched his arms out to the side in defeat::

K’Sek: Not today, Lt.. Not to………

K’Sek never finished his sentence, he slumped over towards Diamond unconscious and Diamond moved his rapier quickly before it impaled him. Looking back, he saw Cura standing there with a phaser aimed where the Klingon was standing.::

Assanti: Shut up!
