Here's a little idea I had, for how The Search For Spock should have gone:
On the Genesis Planet, Lieutenant Saavik (played by Kirsty Alley) and Doctor David Marcus, the sole survivors or the science ship Grissom, find the rapidly regenerating body of Captain Spock. But the Klingons that destroyed their ship are hunting them down on the dying planet.
Managing to evade the Klingons for several days, they are caught unprepared as Spock undergoes another aging spurt, bringing him to the same age and appearance he was when he died--though without his katra, making him almost like a feral animal.
Once caught, they return to their Bird-of-Prey, where the Klingons try to use the three hostages as bargining chips against Admiral Kirk, threatening to kill one of them if he doesn't supply them with data on the Genesis Device. To prove his point, Commander Kruge orders one of the prisoners to be executed. All the while, the mind-less Spock stares at Kirk intently on the viewscreen, whilst all Kirk can do is watch as the Klingon warrior moves behind his son, David, and raises his dagger. Spock tackles the Klingon to the deck, where they struggle before Kruge shoots Spock in the back. As he lies, dying on the deck, being held by Saavik and David, Spock whispers just one word before he dies, "Jim."
Kirk, Scott, McCoy, Sulu and Uhura (Chekov was still recovering from the Ceti Alpha V brain parasites on Earth, where he managed to get them off the planet and arranged to meet them on Vulcan) manage to save Saavik and David (and Spock's body), but have to sacrifice the Enterprise to do so. Onboard the captured Bird-of-Prey, they go to Vulcan, but Spock's injuries are too severe to do anything about, so his katra is removed from McCoy and put to rest.
The crew, along with Saavik and David, begin to make repairs to the captured ship in order to return to Earth and face the consequences of their actions, all of them mourning the loss of Spock.
