David Versus Rachael

Posted on Sun Feb 23rd, 2020 @ 8:45pm by Lieutenant JG Rachael "Ripcord" Yamaguchi-Cullen

Mission: Mission 4: Flashover
Location: School - Hallway B - Starbase 400
Timeline: 1000Hrs - September 5th, 2388

It was midmorning in between the first and second classes
of the day and Rachael Yamaguchi moved down the hallway as
she navigated her way through the traffic of over twelve
a hundred students getting from their classes to their lockers
and then to their next classes in less than five minutes,
needless to say, the activity was hectic and downright crazy
at times.

She reached her locker but as she grasped the lock, she felt
something crash into her from behind, she gasped as she crashed
into the locker as she heard a voice in her ear. "I heard you
were skilled in martial arts... you don't scare me..." came the
voice of the school bully, one Boralus Niekanus who was a Bolian
boy, easily twice the size and three times the mass of Rachael
who wanted a piece of her simply because she was new, beautiful
looking and she was expertly trained in martial arts.

Rachael groaned softly as she pulled herself back to her feet.
"That's because junior... you hit me in the back.."

With that, he went to hit her again as she sidestepped his fist
as a loud metallic clang roared up and down the hallway,
announcing the fight in progress to everyone within range so
all activity stopped as everyone gathered to see how this was
going to go down.

She had dropped into a classic fighting stance, left hand raised
with two fingers outstretched with her right-hand much closer to
her face.

He roared in pain, at her and the crowd who had gathered as
he snarled something at her in a language the universal translator
deigned not worth translating.

Rachael stood before him as she watched him carefully as time
seemed to slow down from her perspective as she moved towards him
as she swept aside his second swing as she lashed out with her
foot and leg, not at his face or upper body but rather at his
knee which jerked sideways with a sickening wet snapping sound,
with that, he dropped to the deck as he shrieked in pain.

Rachael sighed softly as she looked around. "Fights over guys,
nothing more to see here... Bloodthirsty pack of animals." she
muttered the last under her breath as she reached down as she
grasped a fistful of the other child's shirtfront as she heard
another person approached her from behind.

"Well Rachael, I see you're making yourself at home." a well-known
voice announced as he commented.

"Anthony." she turned and hugged her old friend.

Anthoney Donos, the eldest son of Lieutenant James Donos and his
wife, one Ensign Heather Donos, both were assigned to the Starbase
itself so Anthoney could have some semblance of a normal life, she
knew him from her time on the USS America.

The Bolian growled as Anthony reached down as he crashed a fistful
of the man's shirtfront. "You attacked my friend, be thankful she kicked your ass and not me... I would not have stopped with a
simple beating," he commented evenly.

Rachael and Anthony then proceeded to haul the wounded Bolian off
to the nurse's office before heading to their next class.
