o.O.o
Tall Evergreens plagued the World of PX-3971. Tall and Simular to Canadian Pines, but had leaves like a Fern. Within this Forrest a Group of humans moved silently. 3 Males, 1 Female made up this group. All of which wore Black Military Fatigues, with Black combat vests. One also carried a Camouflage suitcase and held a pistol in one hand. The Leader, a balding older male signalled a stop and the group stopped behind him. A Younger male of the group, the Other Male, not the one carrying the case stepped up.
"What's up Colonel?" he whispered, as the whole group squatted
"According to the Intel, the Wraith base is near here. Hawkeye" he said, the female approached, pulling out the sniper rifle from her back
"Sirs" she said. Riza Hawkeye was a looker and a half, at 22 she was of ample slim build, of English decent, long blond hair which was tied back away from her face in a ponytail. Her deep Green eyes could make a room go quite if she gave you the Death stare. She was also in secretly in love with one of the males of the group and wasn't the balding colonel.
"The Wraith are located up ahead, scout it out please" the Younger male said
"Of course captain" She said pulling her Camo-Cape over her head and Disappeared into the evergreens, much like the Foxes she hunted back in the UK.
"We hold up here and wait for the Blonde Fox to come back" the colonel said as the other male moved to settle in. the Captain Glared at the colonel and then Sighed. The Young captain was only 21, but had show great promise in the lower ranks that he was fast tracked to the Stargate Program as requested by General O'Neill. He was of Australian Decent, with a Hint of English, Short Dark blonde hair, a pair of Glasses and A Goatee was the only thing that really stood out about his Captain.
"So, I heard that you And Hawkeye are going out now?" the Scientist said, the Captain looked at him
"Bullshit" he said back
"Only a rumour; I've seen the way you two act in combat situations and around Atlantis" the Scientist continued, only to have a P90 assault rifle pulled up to his face
"I would keep any rumour you have to yourself only egghead" the captain said, lowering the gun. The Colonel sighs and looks at the PDA that he got out of his pocket. The Captain holsters the P90 and pulls out muesli bar and starts to eat.
20 mins pass and the Radio on all three of the SGA members blurts into life.
'Private Hawkeye to Colonel Hills, Private Hawkeye to Colonel Hills do you copy?' Hawkeyes Voice said over the radio, the colonel taps the Transmission button.
"Reading you loud and Clear Private, what's the Sit rep?" he said in a Husky southern accent
'I can see the Wraith outpost from here. It looks like an Ancient facility of sorts, don't know how the Flyboys missed it' she responded back, continuing to say 'it looks like they only have a Small handful there, the Numbers according to my Heat-sync is roughly 30 sir'
"Roger that private, 30 bogies confirmed. We'll come to you, where's your location?"
'According to my compass, North, north east about 3 clicks of your position' Hawkeye Responded.
"Roger that, we will be there with 30 mins, Hills out" Hills said tapping the transmit button again to turn it off
"You heard the vixen, Saddle up and move out. Captain Vickers, you're on point" Hills said, the Australian nodded and Got up and started to move towards the Position that Hawkeye radioed in.
The SGA team was known as SCAR 1. Stargate Command Advance Recon team 1. They were the Best at finding Wraith locations on a planet abet the Flyboys overflying them. But much like the US Navy Seals or the British SAS, they were trained in Advanced Recon and Subterfuge. Unlike most SGA or SG teams, they were allowed to wear a Camo-cloak. Commissioned by the IOA on earth in response to the increase in the number of Gou'ld Super soldiers and cloaking Fields. The SGC Commissioned the Tanith Company on PX-7101 to make a Set of personal Camo-cloaks. They were then only issued to Certain Members of the Stargate program who showed promise in using them. The Only two in all of Atlantis belongs to Private Hawkeye and Captain Vickers. This was overseen by a man from the Tanith Plant called Mckenver.
After 30 mins of walking the Rest of the members of SCAR 1 approached the hill overlooking the Wraith. Hawkeye was there with Sniper out and Scoping up various Wraith locations with her Heat-Sync Sniper rifle. Captain Vickers squats beside her and without a word pulls out his binoculars.
"Captain, as always a tad loud" Hawkeye said getting up from a prone position to a Crouching one.
"Private, like always a tad obvious" Vickers said back "colonel obvious and Lack of common sense is about half of a click behind me" he said kissing Hawkeye passionately. She broke it off after about 30 seconds
"Well he's a Fascist, sexist Douche" She replied, getting a chuckle out of Vickers.
"Well, I doubt that he knows anything about recon work, but we are stuck with him. Is there any way in private?" Vickers Asked. Hawkeye indicated with her Rifle
"South-eastern Ledges would be our best way in. Unguarded apart from the occasion patrol, but nothing we couldn't handle" She said as the Scientist and Colonel walked into the Hills visual range.
"Any update?"
"None sir, as I was explaining to the Captain here. The only way that we can get in would be the South eastern ledges. They only have a minor patrol going around every 30 mins or so" Hawkeye said as Vickers handed Hills the binoculars showing the Route
"Awfully long drop should one of us fall" Hills said, Hawkeye smirked.
"Myself and Captain Vickers can Rope down first with you two coming down once we make ground fall. It's only about a 100mtr drop so it shouldn't be that difficult to abseil down with the gear that we brought" Hawkeye said, Vickers nodded as did the Colonel.
The group of soldiers approached the South Eastern ledges and dropped 2 ropes down, Hawkeye and Vickers both Ran down the lines face first much like the Police do during raids. When they were both down on the ground, Hawkeye radioed the 'all clear' and the Scientist and Hills Descended down the Ropes. Once they were all at the Base of the cliffs, they moved towards the Compound, silently. They encountered little Resistance getting into the inner parts of the compound, however stopping in front of them where a Pair of wraith. They failed to notice the group hiding behind the Crates.
Stopping short of the patrol that had stopped and ducking behind some storage crates, Captain Vickers Signalled Hawkeye to take the left one whilst he would take the Right; the two Wraiths didn't know what hit them. Captain Vickers Slammed his Bowie Knife into the Spinal column and his Smaller Combat knife slitting his throat at the same time. Hawkeye however kicked his legs out and slammed her knife into the Wraiths Faceplate right between where his eyes would be. They both Dragged the Corpses into hiding before hills and the Scientist crept up.
"Violent" Hills said to on one in particular
"Them or us, Stay on our six and Watch out for any patrols. We may have about 30 mins before this one would need to check in" Vickers said, wiping the blood off both his knives.
"Let's move" Vickers said as the Group continued their way into the compound.
They Entered the Heart of the compound, avoiding Detection as Scar1 is good with. Wraith type Walls made up the majority of it, however quite a Few where that of a Gothic Style with Grey washed walls and rather bold Colours here and there. The Main Chamber was what the team were interested in. as they approached they could see 4 wraith guarding an Unmasked lieutenant tapping on some screens, some ancient hardware lay scattered across some tables and the floor even. The chamber was a Stark difference the rest of the Compounds as it has White washed walls, a Massive Chandelier that was shaped as a Half sun and half moon. The Pylons around the centre dais where alternating Purple and White. In the centre lay the Prize – an older type of Stargate. Well older than the more recent ones. Half of the team darted to one side of the door way whilst the other half stayed put.
"Shall we?" Hills said indicating the Flash bang grenade in his hand, Captain Vickers responded by pulling out two.
"We shall" he said pulling the pins and Tossing both into the room as well as 1 from hills and 1 from Hawkeye.
The Flash-bang's detonated as they tumbled into the main chamber. The 4 Wraith guards staggered around like lost sheep both blinded and deafened. Hills and Vickers Burst in, P90's Blaring. The First Wraith took the full grunt of the Assault and became Rather bullet Ridden as he hell backwards, the Second And Third where Taken Down shortly after with the Continued wave of Bullets. The 4th managed to get one shot off, which went wild and struck one of the purple Pillars lining the Rooms interior, before his head quite literally exploded outwards from the back to the Head, Hawkeye Smirked as she levelled it with the wraith lieutenant. Hills raised his P90 and set it flush against his head
"No Funny business" he said.
The scientist, however, popped open the Briefcase and revealed the contents of the case. A Laptop and what appeared to be a plate and a Stone.
"We are good to go" He said as the plate started to power up. He Picked the Stone up and placed it on the plate. A Few Seconds passed and the Scientist spoke again, this time however was one as if he had just suffered Amnesia
"Wow this is absolutely fascinating" He said, the Captain looked at the Scientist
"Eli Wallace?" the Vickers asked.
"That's me" Eli said looking at the older Stargate
"Well, Get it working, you have 30 minutes, no Pressure by the way. Oh we are also in the Heart of a Wraith Compound" Vickers said Eli nodded and Moved over to the main gate with a data plate.
As Eli began Deciphering the Older Stargate SCAR tied the other Wraith Up and Hills was watching him like a Hawk. Meanwhile Vickers was looking at some of the Ancient Hardware lying on the Table. Vickers had a Talent For being able to Fluently being able to speak And Read Ancient, as a Child he thought that he had come up with the Language but in Reality he had a rather Over Developed ancient gene. He Looked at a Wrist mounted Device that had a Simple Display plus a couple of knobs (Think of something similar to the Pip-boy 3000 form the Fallout Series without the glove part). How it held on was a Pair of simple Straps and Clips with leather like Protection on the inner part to prevent Chaffing against the skin of whoever wore it. He looked at the Device then tossed up trying it on for Shits and Giggles.
Rolling up his sleeve he placed the Device on his fore arm and attached the buckles which automatically adjusted to a nice fit. The Device flashed on and a Holo-display appeared. The display was that of the Old Stargate and the newer one that they come though originally as well as what appeared to be Various Readings. The readings were of various power levels and the 7 chevron codes for both on the side in a line (Much like the Computers from the SGC).
"Eli, Come over here a minute, take a look at this" Vickers said showing Eli the Holo-display. Eli looked at the Display
"That's cool; however where did you find it?" Eli asked taking down a few notes
"Over here" Vickers said pointing at some of the discarded Hardware. "Apparently looking at these Symbols (pointing at a couple of holographic symbols) it's a Remote DHD"
30 Mins Passed with Eli still trying to work out the Old Stargate when Sirens started to wail
"Times up, can we get it to work as the other gate is By far and Large out of the question?" Hills asked slamming his fist into the Prisoner wraith, knocking him out cold.
"I haven't managed to decipher the Chevrons yet!" Eli shouted back, but Hills was already shutting the main Doors, Hawkeye kicked over a table and Flicked out her Rifles stand and rested it on the table's edge and sighted the only door in or out. Vickers however looked at the Wrist DHD (As he called it) and noticed that one of the gate outlines was red and the other was Green. The Red one showed a Gate address that was unknown to Vickers.
"We are trapped"
"Not yet, give me 5 mins tops" Vickers shouted back to Hills as he Darted to the old Stargate and looked at the Chevrons. Noticing that this one needed 8 Chevrons rather than the 7 normally needed "Shit this one needs 8 chevrons! Any ideas guys?" Vickers Shouted as a Large Explosion Rocked the Chandelier, but the main doors held.
Another large blast again shook the Chandelier and caused one of the far end pylons to crack
"What the hell just happened?" the Scientist said shaking his head, the team looked at him
"Damn, that last blast severed the Stones connection. Oh well, now Hendrix, you can die with us as well" Hills said as Hendrix, pulled out his Pistol and Made sure that it a bullet was in the tube.
"GET US THE FUCK OUT OF HERE VICKERS!" Hills shouted as a third explosion again rocked the main chamber, causing another Pillar to Crack and the Chandelier now finally fell with an Almighty Crash of coloured Glass. The shower was enough to cause Hills to brush off some of the glass fragments, and Vickers continued to think of what to do. Then it hit him. He punched in the 7 chevrons for Atlantis and was stumped on the last one until
"The pyramid with the Moon and Sun as one" the voice sounded serene and had a musical hint to it, Vickers shook his head and looked at the display
Vickers found the chevron that the 'Voice' had mention and tapped the Holo-display for that chevron and hit the button and the old gate creaked into action. Grinding slowly at First but managed to pick up speed as the 1st chevron locked into place
"Chevron 1 locked" he shouted as the Doors buckled under a fourth Explosion
"Those doors are amazing" Hendrix said
"Chevron 2 locked" Vickers shouted out as he watched the gate with anticipation, the wheel stopped and another chevron locked into place
"Chevron 3 locked" Vickers Shouted as he raised his P90. Hawkeye sighed as the doors buckled again
"Chevron 4 locked" Hills and Hendrix exchanged glances as 3 small thuds hit the Main doors. The Purple and White doors buckled again.
"Chevron 5 Locked" Vickers Shouted as the doors finally Gave way in an almighty explosion. This caused the White door to fly to the right and slide about 4 meters with the Purple door doing the same but to the left.
"Chevron 6 locked" Vickers Shouted over the wraith Stunner Blasts that now poured into the room and Bullets form the team near the gate responded in Kind, taking out any wraith that dared entered the main chamber
"Chevron 7 Locked" Vickers shouted, hoping to the voice that this would work
"Why hasn't it Shoomed yet?" Hawkeye asked sounding worried but put that into a bullet and blew off a Wraith's head
"One more to go, hope to god this Fething works!" Vickers responded as more wraith tried to get back in. the last chevron locked into place and the gate did its thing. Except the puddle was not blue, but a white and purple puddle, much like a Purple drop into a clear glass of water.
"GO, FETHING GO!" Vickers shouted as Hills and Hendrix broke cover with Hawkeye and Vickers shot at the wraith. Hills jumped though First, with Hendrix not far behind.
"RIZA, GO!" Vickers shouted as she sniped yet another Wraith
"NOT WITHOUT YOU" She Shouted back over the Din of battle
"MOVE PRIVATE! I'll be right behind you" Vickers said as Hawkeye dashed for the gate and made it though without being hit.
Vickers pulled the pin on a Flashbang, cooked it and tossed it into the incoming wraith. Once it detonated he darted towards the gate and jumped though. About 4 seconds later, the Gate shut off leaving the wraith in the Room fuming that their prey escaped.
o.O.o
Princess Luna Sighed, yet another Moon rise and yet she felt Empty inside. It was like there a Part of her was missing, or just gone, vanished or destroyed. She has felt this way for the past year now, right after Twilight and her friends rid her of the Curse of Nightmare Moon. But now, she wanted to fill that gap and letting her evil ways back was really not an option. Perhaps some Mare or Colt would be her friend, but no-pony would want to be Associated with 'the mare in the moon' or her personal Favourite of all insults 'Nightmare Whore'. Ponyville was Quite and the ponies there forgave her for what she tried all those years ago, However Canterlot was not so forgiving. Most of The Ponies there still remember or read about her Antics when she was Nightmare Moon.
The Young Alicorn sighed as she took flight into the night. It was her duty to watch over the land during the night, but she mostly flew over the many town sites and towards the Ever Free Forrest. Her one True place that she felt at peace, however she decided to Linger around and takes a couple of extra hours to fly to her normal place of landing. After an hour or so, she spotted a new set of ruins and Smoke rising from it and a Faint Red Glow.
"What the heck is going on here?" She muttered as she flew into a landing
o.O.o
30 minute Prior to Luna Flying and Seeing the Fire
"Urgh" Vickers said regain conscious thought. He was Propped Upright and a Fire was burning nicely nearby. His Gear was In a Neat pile to his right. He groaned as pain shot though his Left side ribcage.
"Captain, you're awake. You broke a couple of ribs on the Way though the gate" Hawkeye said, handing him a Tin Bowl with soup or something in it. Small meat chunks in a Brown liquid
"Do I even want to know what's in here?"
"Not much, but I managed to Get a rabbit, and Cook it up about 5 mins ago" Hawkeye said, showing the spit made of a couple pieces of Wood and a Sniper Cleaning rod
"Where are the other two?"
"Don't know, they weren't here when I came though, and that was about 30 mins ago anyways. This place is peaceful mind you"
"Well that's one thing, now we don't need to worry about the Colonel being a Dickhead" Vickers said holding the bowl of Stew and Military grade Spork and poked a chunk of Rabbit and Bit down on the Chewy meat.
"It isn't much, but it'll give you something to do" Hawkeye said, taking a sip from her bowl. The two sat in silence listening to the Crickets and other animals they couldn't pick
"So where exactly are we?" Hawkeye said about 30 mins later "I mean this isn't Atlantis"
"I don't know, but the constellations remind me of earth, at that is one amazing night Sky. Not a cloud. Wish I had my telescope from Oz" Vickers said, Hawkeye looked up as well as saw the Glorious night Sky. She then moved over to Vickers and Sat down next to him
"I can see here – Capricorn, Orion and a Few others's I can't remember" he said pointing them out to Hawkeye.
"Know know a lot about the Stars don't you?" she asked to a nodding Vickers
"Always had a Fascination with the night" he replied.
o.O.o
Little did the couple know that they were being spied on by Princess Luna, who was fascinated by the two and how they loved her Night sky and the Stars as well? The Bigger one seemed to even know some of the constellation that she had organised one night as a Birthday present to Celestia.
She watched on with Eagerness, not realising that the two had heard her rustle around in the bushes
o.O.o
"Hear that" Hawkeye said getting up and walking half over to where Luna was hiding
"No" Vickers said flatly
"Hey come out, we aren't going to hurt you" Hawkeye said squatting down to the Level of Luna's now Glowing eyes. Vickers flicked the safety of his pistol to off just in case.
Luna took a reluctant step forward toward Hawkeye and Vickers, showing off her Mane and Coat, as well as her shoes and Chest piece. As She Walked out she could see the larger one shift slightly.
"Now that I wasn't expecting, a Miniature Horse thing…" Vickers
"But with a Horn and Wings?" Hawkeye said brushing Luna's mane, she let out a Small sigh
"Okay then a Flying unicorn? A Pegacorn?" Vickers said, before Luna glared at him and spoke
"Alicorn Actually" She said flatly causing Hawkeye and Vickers just stop and Stare at her.
"What?" Luna asked causing Hawkeye and Vickers to exchange worried glances
"That was highly un-expected" Vickers said, as the Device on his arm blared into Action showing the one Ring and it glowed red. "Incoming Wormhole Hawkeye, Err, Alicorn…"
"Luna"
"…Right Luna, Stand back, this is going to get ugly" Vickers said, straining to get up, he grabbed his P90 and Held it towards the Now spinning Ring. Hawkeye pushed Luna Aside and grabbed her Rifle and also aimed it at the Ring. Luna Was perplexed. These Two Creatures where obviously Good hearted, but when she looked into their eyes she could tell that they had seen things that would haunt them, but now they were Protecting her with their lives from the 'Gate'.
As the Gate Swooshed open with the Standard Gate colouration 4 Wraith stepped out as 2 where taken Down in a blink of an eye thanks to Vickers and Hawkeye. Luna Screamed over the gunfire and Curled up into a Ball, her hooves over her ears. The First wraith Rushed up to Vickers and slammed him in the Ribs causing the already cracked rip to break completely and Puncture his lung, causing him to cough up blood.
"NO!" Hawkeye said rifle butting the Wraith closest to her and rushing towards Vickers, who smirked and Shot the Wraith in the faceplate with his Pistol that he had out. This moment of Distraction meant the wraith that she had struck slammed into her and caused her to back track to the Edge of the ruins, a Drop of at least 50 meters where it would be certain death at the hands of gravity. The wraith swiped at her, she lost her footing and then time Slowed down.
Vickers Saw Hawkeye flailing at the edge of the cliff before falling backwards.
Not thinking at all, Vickers Rushed the Wraith, slamming into him and caused him to fly over the edge and the momentum caused him to go over the edge as well. Rather than let fate take Hawkeye, he shifted his weight, Caught her and Spun her round so that she would be on the top and he would take the grunt of the Gravitational Slam. Luna at the sound of the gunfire stopping looked in horror as Vickers Slammed the Wraith over the ledge. She rushed over to it at watched as the duo, Vickers and Hawkeye falls in a lover embrace to their Deaths; or would have if not for Luna's horn intervening and using her magic to engulf the two in a magic sphere. Luna had no control over the magic that was now coming from her and around the falling humans. She Felt as though the magic itself was coming from a different source, it felt really, really old.
After 5 intense minutes she looked again to see that rather than two splayed human remains she saw something that would later be told as the turning point for Equestria's movement into the Stargate program.
"What have I done?' she asked as she landed next to the Splayed Remains of both Hawkeye and Vickers.
The magic had saved them, but the cost was their humanity.
Luna's magic had changed them both into Pegasus ponies
