Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate Universe and its characters they belong to MGM and SYFY Channel I only own the human version of the Destiny.

A/n: I was watching the season finally of Stargate Universe and just loved the show from the first episode to the end. I loved it especially Eli who I believe is my fav character. So this story is mostly an Eli centric story.

You have been warned.

It is rated M for swearing and violence and the occasional sex scene.

Just to warn you though it might at times alternate from the cannon series a bit and it is AU at certain parts.

I have rewritten the story because of grammar and wording problems so it is fixed now hopefully.

Soul of the Destiny

Chapter 1: Eli's Visions

"For every action there is a reaction…"

"For every journey begins with just a single step…"

"For every choice there is a consequence…"

"For every consequence there is a lesson…"

"For every journey there is a destination…"

"For every Destiny is but a single moment…"

"Every Destiny has a journey one must take…"

"And every journey comes to a crossroad…"

"The path you take is just one of many…"

"For the Ancient ship known as Destiny the journey through the stars is but a journey through time…"

"For many think that time is but a river; an endless, steady flow that goes in one direction…

"But in fact…"

"Time… is an endless ocean caught in an endless storm…"

When Eli Wallace entered the Stargate for the first time in his life, and onto the ancient ship of unknown origin; he had no idea what he was going to do. All he knew when he entered the room on the other side was darkness. The only light was that of the large ring behind him; the only sounds he could hear were the shouts of the many who are coming through the same pool of light.

In confusion he turned to find others like him looking equally as confused and scared as they looked around the dark; bare room. Then when everyone was cleared the room was plunged into darkness and the stargate let out a loud hiss. Suddenly flashlights turned on as panicked people scrambled around trying to get their bearings and some were crying in fear. Some people lay wounded and others died on impact with the hard metal floor that he can feel under his feet.

I have been waiting for you

Eli turned around to face a soldier that was bleeding in the head, "Did you say something?" he asked

"No," was the reply.

Sudden shouting could be heard as someone came and tried to call order throughout the crew. A sudden shaking sound could be heard as the place they were in suddenly lurched and a light headed sensation filled him as he was suddenly off balance.

You are safe for now

Again the voice and this time Eli turned his head to find the source…only to find nothing but panicked people.

The only one who was not panicking was Dr. Nickolas Rush as he found himself high above them on a balcony of some sort. Looking down at the panicked faces his eyes full of wonder at the expanse of the room before him.

"Everyone SHUT UP!" a voice shouted and Lt. Mathew Scott took charge as he held his gun up high. "Alright everyone just calm down there is no need to panic." He said

Suddenly the lights went on and everyone screamed at the sight including Eli who covered his head.

There is no need to fear

The voice returned in full force this time and Eli stood up as a feeling of comfort came over him. It was like a mother comforting her child as the feeling was warm and fuzzy. And as soon as it came the feeling was gone and Eli once again found himself amongst the shouting individuals. Scott quickly gotten in front of the gate and preceded towards the main congregation of people.

"Alright I want everyone to calm down I need a head count Greer!" he shouted out to the man in front of him.

Sgt. Greer stood at attention as he came up to Scott and whispered a "Yes Sir," to him before going off to follow orders.

"Eli I want you and Dr. Rush to find us some lights, T.J. I need you to tend to the wounded…where is Col. Young?" he asked and just as he said it a low moan could be heard.

Turning his head he rushed over to the wounded man. "Sir are you alright?" he asked the Coronel could only look at him before asking himself, "Where are we?" he said.

"I don't know," Scott replied as he reached under to help him up only to find blood on his hand from the Col.'s head panicking he screamed, "T.J.!" he shouted and a blonde haired woman in a military uniform ran up to them to help him up and added pressure towards the wound.

"It is alright I need you to lie down and rest sir," she said and the man gently laid there.

Eli watched with confusion still on his face as Scott stood up and began to bark orders until his name was shouted.

"Eli! NOW!" He said and Eli quickly went to help search the ship.

It was sometime later that Eli found the counsel with the strange symbols on it. He recognized it instantly as the same language in his video game Prometheus. Staring at it he began to explore what he could find, but was worried that he would hit something that was not his to begin with.

I will make sure you don't

It was that voice again after all this time he thought he was just under enough stress. Now it was back and he had, had just about enough of it. Looking around he made sure he was not followed before he began to speak to the entity that is driving him insane.

"Alright you what the hell do you want?" he asked

I have been waiting for you; I have been waiting you for a long, long time, was the reply.

"Me?" Eli answered back, "That's kind of creepy don't you think?" he asked

You seek knowledge was the answer that was given to him.

Looking down at the counsel he saw the symbols appear out of nowhere. "I don't know what this means?" he asked

I can teach you

Now Eli was scared as he looked around knowing that this is no coincidence.

"Ok is it just me or am I going crazy?" he asked

You are not crazy I am speaking to you through your mind was the reply

He looked down at the counsel again and this time a new image appeared one of him in the ship. Turning in shock he found nothing in the ordinary. "Ok what the fuck is going on?" he asked

I am watching you; you are safe for now the voice replied

"Everything going alright Eli?" a new voice asked and Eli turned to find Rush standing there at the entrance to the hallway.

"Yeah everything is fine Rush um…just found these," Eli said

Rush walked over to the counsel and smiled, "This is a control counsel we can access the ship's data from here," he said looking down.

Eli felt uncertain Rush should not be touching something like this. Rushing over he pushed the older man away.

"Eli what are you doing?" he demanded

"You don't know what this thing does nor for that matter you could get us all killed!" Eli shouted

Now seeing his face turned red with anger Rush turned to Eli, "Like you could understand Ancient! I happen to program a rudimentary version of the language in that game you so enjoy playing." Rush growled at him.

Now they started to argue until it turned to shouting and eventually Scott and Greer entered the room. "What is going on?" he demanded with Greer pointing his gun out at Rush.

Eli held his hands up in surrender, "I don't know we found these counsels and Rush wants to activate stuff but we don't know if we might blow ourselves out of the sky," Eli replied.

"You don't know that!" Rush demanded now Eli was angry as his face was showing red.

But just before he could say something Greer pointed his gun barrel at Rush, "Step away from that and don't move," he demanded of Rush.

Trust him

The voice once again returned and this time Scott lowered his guard and let Rush access the ship.

To his shock he could clearly see on a hovering hologram where they are…on the other side of the universe.

Hours later led the group to another problem…air. The air on this ship is stale and not cycling properly as Eli found out. He sat down with his newest discovery which he calls a Kino. The orb sat there beside him as he recorded his thoughts into it. He managed to get some of the others to record their data onto the drive.

You can explore with those

"What is the deal?" Eli said as he looked around and once again found himself alone.

Walking away he approached the makeshift medbay that Lt. Johansson has discovered and used to help the wounded. She was busy with Col. Young who is currently suffering a large concussion at the moment. His eyes were closed as Eli entered the room.

"Can I help you," she said not even looking up.

"How is he?" Eli asked

"He will be fine just a concussion to the back of the head and his leg will have to be on a crutch for a while before it fully heals," she said as she finished.

Turning to him she looked him over to make sure he was alright other then the fact that he is rather dirty.

"Um how do you treat voices?" he asked

"Voices?" Johansson replied

"Yeah ever since I got here I have been hearing voices in my head," he said and she waved him over.

Giving a quick check and finding nothing wrong with him she dismissed Eli and said to seek out Camille Wray the human resources manager. She has some study into the human psyche and could help. Eli walked down the long corridor looking for Wray. He eventually found what appears to be a cafeteria station with many of the folks there just talking. Eli surveyed the room and eventually spotted the Asian woman on the other side sitting on a table. Finding her he walked right over to the table and sat down in front of her.

"What do you want?" she asked

"Lt. Johansson said that you had some skills in psychology?" Eli said rather shyly.

"What of it," the oriental lady said glaring at him.

"Well ever since I came to this ship I have been hearing things in my head, and well they have been driving me insane," Eli admitted.

Wray gave him a thoughtful look before she began to ask the younger man, "Has the voice been asking you to hurt people?" she asked

"No," Eli replied quickly, "It has only told me that I was safe and that nothing bad is going to happen to us on this ship," he said Wray's eyes then opened wide with that, "Normally people who hear voices in their heads tend to hear negative thoughts and those voices tell them to hurt and not trust people. They even tell them to kill and it eventually drives them insane in the process; most unusual," she said

She looked around the room at the other people present before turning to him, "What else has this voice been telling you?" she asked.

"The voice said that it has been waiting for me for a long, long time. It also told me to trust Rush when he was trying to access the systems. It told me I was safe and that everything was going to be alright I even had this warm fuzzy feeling for a while." Eli replied to her.

Wray looked at him with some concern and then something clicked in her head. Turning to Eli she had to ask, "It told you that you were safe? when?" she asked.

"When we first arrived on this ship," Eli replied

"So the voice started when you came through the stargate?" she asked and Eli nodded back at her.

"Well do me a favor, next time the voice speaks to you ask it what it wants, who is it and why are we here; other then that I can't help you no further," she said standing up.

Eli watched her go and retreated to the place he calls his quarters. It was the more open room out of all of others on the ship since it has a counsel of its own for the Kinos. Closing the doors he prepared to go to bed when the voice came again.

Rest now there is no need to fear the woman is right you know

Eli shot up like an arrow, "Who are you?" he asked

Who are you? I see you in my main processors all the time but I don't know your name it said to him.

"I am Eli Wallace from the Planet Earth and I don't know who I am speaking with." He said

A sudden image filled his mind as he suddenly found himself in space and panicked until a soothing feeling came to him. "What is going on?" he said

I am showing you who I am the voice said and Eli suddenly turned to find a rather large ship approaching him. Amazed he watched as it slowly drifted by him and was amazed further by the sheer size of it. There was no way in hell that a ship that big could exist except on a science fiction movie.

"Holy shit!" Eli said as he watched it pass by him. The sheer size of it was amazing as he could see every part of it and feel the power of its engines as it drifted in space. He suddenly could see what appears to be an observation deck with large windows to give a view of the stars. Looking through what appears to be glass he could make out several people looking at the vastness of the universe. Slowly he drifted away from them as the ship's engines flared in front of his face and he once again found himself looking around his room again.

"Wow, that was amazing," he said then frowned, "But that still does not answer my question as to who you are," he said

I showed you who I am for I am the ship that you are riding on an endless journey of exploration and discovery it said

"Ok you are this strange ship can you at least tell me your name then oh ghost ship," Eli joked to it.

In my language or as they call Latin in yours my name is Fatum or Fas but in your language it translates to…

The voice then stops and Eli raised an eyebrow. "Translates to what?" he asks

Destiny… my name in your language is…Destiny
