Sup people, here's the first chapter of the third Part.

It would help if you know about Stargate Atlantis but I will try to describe anything you need to know.

I am also aware this is still in the Naruto category, but its the dominant part of the story for most of the time, Max will be using stuff from Naruto and I will be talking about the villages.

Max seems to be doing well, she still seems a bit down and still has a problem with authority. When ever someone brings up her home she changes the subject, same with asking about people at home. She's probably in denial, and in denial about being in denial.

Haku's journal on Max's mental heath entry 1.

Stepping into Atlantis was nothing like Max had expected. She may have seen the series but it did nothing to prepare her for the things invading her senses. The stale air, no movement and barley any sound. The futuristic structure like nothing she had seen. The stairs that were lighting up as people spread out to dump things.

"Everything's through, you can shut of the gate" said Weir into her radio. A bottle of champagne was rolled though just before the event horizon dissolved.

"Max, you do know this whole city is surrounded by water," asked Haku quietly so not to alarm the others.

"Yes, is there anything you can do to raise it to the surface?"

I don't know, I will need to explore a bit" Max nodded and Haku disappeared.

"Rho, make yourself useful and find something to do, Duke, go with her and make sure she doesn't die" ordered Colonel Sumner the second part was only mentioned because he didn't rust her not to blow up the city.

Max rolled her eyes, at some point she would make sure he knew that she wasn't about to take orders form him unless it suited her. However, for now, she was fine with it, she had nothing better to do. She would scope out the living quarters, find a good room for herself, preferable with a balcony.

"Hey Luke, want to look around the living quarters?" Luke shrugged, he knew Sumner didn't like his presence her in Atlantis, just like Sumner didn't like Sheppard's or Max's for that matter.

It was a few hours later when Max got a call on the radio.

"All security teams return to gate room, repeat all security teams return to gate room" Max of course already knew what was happening, she had borrowed another radio and was monitoring both frequencies used. She had heard the report about the power drainage.

"Rho, why weren't you helping with the supplies?" Sumner demanded, glaring at the girl who was slouching in front of him hand in her pockets. What he didn't know was Max had a kunai in her hand ready to tell him to piss off if he grew too big for his boots

"You didn't tell me to, all I got was a 'make yourself useful' you didn't say who I had to be useful to."

"Go help McKay" Max rolled her eyes again and went to find the resident genius. It didn't take long, just head to the loudest yelling. She stood in front of the console he was examining at until he looked up and noticed her.

"What do you want?"

"Many things, but that Sumner dude told me to 'help' you"

"Oh, well you could get me coffee" Max rolled her eyes.

"Maybe if people had unpacked the coffee then I could. But unfortunately they haven't"

"Can you do something like that fire?"

"The fire is completely different, I suppose I could get you my special coffee, I never let that out of my possession…" McKay had been hooked at the word coffee in the sense she had some.

"What makes it special?"

"High caffeine content" Max rummaged through a pocket and fished out a scroll. She ignored the puzzled look and unsealed on of the sections. On the section a jar appeared filled with coffee. She could feel the puzzled look intensify.

"How?"

"If I answer that then I'm not giving you coffee. Pick"

"Coffee" Max smirked and unsealed a fire proof mug and a canteen of water. She held the mug in a fire-lit hand and waited for it to boil. She could tell McKay was desperate to ask but the fact he wanted the coffee more at the moment made him hold his tongue.

Max could tell he was glad of the decision the second he took a gulp. He seemed to light up and the second his hands touched the keyboard they were like a blur. Weir came up to both of them and gave Max a questioning look.

"Ninja coffee, he'll be fine in a few hours and its not addictive, I only drink three cups a day" Max said smiling innocently, she knew Weir couldn't see it but her tone conveyed the experssions. Weir didn't look that convinced but from Max's files it was normal for her to say something like that.

"Sumner's taking a group to a planet to find somewhere to hold up"

"You're telling me this because…" Max knew the answer she just wanted to hear it.

"We're new to this galaxy and its best if you can find out what we're dealing with if you're to be of use"

"When do I leave?"

"Ten minutes, try to follow orders. Sumner is in charge" Weir said tiredly, there were so many things going on she hadn't had time to stop for a few minutes. She went over to some other scientist to see what they had found. Max turned back to McKay to see him still typing away.

"You don't have more of that coffee I can have do you?" Had Max not been a ninja she would have heard a garbled noise but her hearing picked out the words. She thought about it wondering what exactly Weir would do if she got the smartest person here hooked on this stuff.

"No, I like my travelling privileges" Max decide, she watched him work for a bit longer until she was called to the gate area. Seeing as she was only on the balcony she decided to miss out on the stairs. She just jumped down gathering stares from anyone who had noticed her do so.

"The stairs aren't there for decoration!" Max couldn't help but smirk and made a point to never use the stairs if she could help it.

"I'll keep that in mind" Max said as she stepped back into the open wormhole.

Out of the team that Sumner had picked she was the only one who hadn't been given night vision goggles. Sumner had said that he didn't want her to break or lose them.

Max didn't really mind, she was better off with out them, she could thank her tenant for that. She had excellent night vision though she hadn't actually noticed she couldn't see colours as well as the average person. When she used FA she could see in colour if she chose too but she hadn't noticed the difference.

"Rho, scout on ahead" Sumner ordered. 'Oh so that's his game, he wants me to be the canary. Fine' Max thought and shushined ahead. She could hear Sumner tell her again not realising that she had already gone. She followed the two kids that passed her by without even noticing her.

"What is your business here?" Max heard behind her. She had forgotten the kids weren't alone.

"Seeing if my team will encounter any dangerous people"

"And you think they might be?" asked the man shocked at the implications.

"I was at their age" she could see the mans eyes widen.

"Why do you wear a mask?" Max ignored the question.

"I should report back to my team before they encounter the children" she said cutting of any further questions.

"I will accompany you to meet them" Max nodded and motioned for him to follow, they came to the edge of the clearing to see Sheppard and Ford pointing their guns at the kids.

"Leave them be they're only children who were playing" the man said getting between the guns and the children.

"Who are you?" asked Sheppard suspiciously.

"You two are so paranoid, do you really think if they were dangerous they would have gotten to you? Put down your guns or at least point them somewhere else" Max said pointing out that she was still there.

"How can you be sure?" asked Sheppard in the same suspicious tone.

"Please tell me someone other than Weir has seen my file. Part of my old job was seeing if people were trustworthy" Max said, she was tempted to post her file somewhere that everyone could see it. She knew nothing classified was in there so it would be fine. Sumner had noticed the group and came over.

"Who's this?"

"A guy from the village nearby"

"My name is Halling, I will escort you too the village to talk to the leader"

"Much obliged" grunted Sumner, he seemed put off that he hadn't made the first encounter. By the way he was looking at Halling he didn't like him. Max wasn't sure if it was just natural suspicion or the fact Max had found him first.

They were led to the village and Max decided to sit out on the talks. She wasn't planning on being bored stiff while being ignored by the adults.

"Why do you wear a mask?" Max looked down to see the two children looking up at her.

"I could ask you the same question" Max said looking at the mask on of them was holding.

"It's for a game, we were playing 'Wraith'. So why do you wear a mask?" the kid was getting pretty incessant.

"So people can't see my face"

"Why?" asked the other kid, it seemed like they were going to try to double team her like she and Laura had so long ago. Max groaned, it was going to be one of those times.

"I bet you're really ugly and hide it behind the mask," said one of the kids.

"I bet you can't be quiet for five minutes." The kid had gotten Max thinking, she was effectively hiding behind the mask. She didn't plan on coming out of 'hiding' yet though. She hadn't noticed that five minutes had passed until one of the kid made a noise.

"Can we see your face please?" Max could feel a twitch coming on. She hoped that the others would finish with their talks so she could get out of here. One of the kids decided she was ignoring them and began to tug at her shorts.

"If I show you my face will you leave me alone?" It had worked with her and Laura so why wouldn't it work with them? Both boys nodded frantically causing Max to sigh. She crouched down to their level and took off her mask removing part of her Henge to show her different coloured eyes.

"Whoa! You look really young, and really pretty" Max wasn't sure what to be thinking. She put her mask back on and straightened up.

"Thanks"

"How old are you?" Max groaned. She should have seen that one coming.

"I thought you two were going to leave me alone," she said ignoring their pouts. She turned around to leave only to bump into Sheppard. Smirking she turned back to the boys.

"Why don't you bu… I mean talk to this person?"

"He's a grown up"

"So am I"

"You're lying"

"How would you know? I never told you my age"

"So tell us so we can tell whether we were right" they had a point.

"I'm telling you I'm old enough to be a grown up"

"You're too short." Max had started growling until she noticed Sumner glaring at her.

"How do you know I'm too short, they could just be too tall?"

"What are they bothering you about?" asked Sheppard looking amused.

"My age," now that she though about it it was kind of stupid.

"Why don't you just tell them?"

"Then they'll ask me another question which I won't want to answer"

"Just answer them, for the sake of the relationship between us and them" Max glared at him and looked back at the current annoyances.

"I'm older than you but younger than the people I'm with"

"She's sixteen" Max scowled at him despite the fact he couldn't see.

"Seventeen today actually" Max growled.

"Do you know where babies come from?"

"I told you, they always ask another question, and yes, I do know where babies come from," said Max looking at Sheppard who just looked amused.

"Rho. This place is safe so you can return back to Atlantis" Max could hear the unspoken words he meant. He didn't want her to antagonize the kids to the point the adults break off the negotiations.

"Thank you. And you two, he knows the answer" Max grinned before heading back to the Stargate. She had been all set to traumatize these kids if they had pressed her for the answer. She could hear the kids now bugging Sumner about it.

Due to the fact the others hadn't bothered Max decided to scope out the area, just to be on the safe side. She took to the trees the second she was out of sight of the village.

It was about an hour later Max heard the gate activate and she headed directly for it. She heard a whining sound joined by another and a third. A plan was half forming in her mind, her goal to neutralise the threats before they got anyone.

She saw one approaching her and formed seals, with a whisper as warning she let loose a huge fireball. The craft had no time to evade it and was incinerated.

"Strike one" she could hear over the radio Sumner asking about the fireball. That meant he hadn't been taken yet. She scanned the sky for the other two, using her hearing to help. She saw one of them heading directly for her and she dropped to the ground doing some more seals. A wall of mud rose rapidly from the ground Max standing atop feeding it chakra to keep it strong.

In the darkness it could barely be seen but Max didn't know how good the sensors were. She saw it turn sharply heading up the wall she had made. Thinking fast she made some more seals but held back the last one for timing. Just as the craft had reached the top of the wall Max completed the final seal and spikes grew out of the wall impaling the ship on them. The chakra harden mud then liquefied filling the inside of the dart and causing it to fall.

"That makes two. Man, am I glad I bothered Hoshi into showing me a few of her jutsu"

"Rho. You would happen to know anything about the fire ball or wall of mud would you?" Sheppard said over the radio.

"Why would I know about that? Besides there's still one left, I can't see it"

"Its already gone, it took Teyla and Sumner"

"Who's Teyla?"

"One of the villagers we were talking with, report to the Gate"

"Will do" Max signed of and with out warning she dived of the wall catching a branch as she fell to propel her through the forest.

She reached the Gate not long later and almost bypassed it at the speed she was going. She got some strange looks about the way she had been travelling.

"If you actually read the file on me you would know how I do that"

"Were you the one who did the fire?"

"Read my damn file!" Max growled looking more feral then usual. She didn't want to tell them every single thing she could do, that's why she had a file. I was the only reason she had a file.
