Rating: PG cus its got some gore later on and also Colonel O'Neill's general course language.

A/n: My first crossover! I've actually finished this and just need to type it up, so if you want me to do it quicker send me reviews. ;) And thanks to everyone who's reviewed my other ace lightning stories.


"Looks like it's all over, Ace Lightning!" cackled Lord Fear. "I've got all the pieces of the amulet. Random Virus is at my side, and you're sidekick's life is in my hands."

"If you lay one bony finger on him…" threatened Ace.

"Well then if that's how you feel about it," Lord Fear interrupted, "then I'm sure you won't mind you're friend assisting."

Random Virus snapped his claw, inches in front of Mark's face.

"Ace…" Mark swallowed nervously.

"Stop it, Random!" said Ace. "You're not one of them!"

"Look," cut in Sparx, swinging her sword, "you've got your stupid amulet, let Mark go."

"Yes, you're right of course," said Lord Fear, "I don't need him. I have enough pieces of the amulet to return to the 6th dimension and bring back an unstoppable army of evil. I can't wait to see the looks on these mortal's faces when they see it! And you'll be powerless to stop me." He paused, then grinned. "Then again, a little insurance never hurt, did it?"

A portal whipped open behind Lord Fear.

"Time to say goodbye," gloated Staff Head.

Ace realised with a shock what was happening – Lord Fear meant to take Mark with him. Ace clenched his fists and felt his wrist cannons charge to full power. Not even bothering to think of something smart to say he discharged the energy at Lord Fear.

Random Virus intercepted it and flung it back, sending Ace skidding across the floor.

Sparx joined him a second later, courtesy of Staff Head.

For Mark that second seemed longer. Everything seemed to go into slow motion. Lord Fear had begun dragging him towards the portal and there was no way Ace or Sparx were going to stop him. His mind raced through every possibility of escape. None of them would work. It was clear he couldn't escape. But he knew what he had to do. He had to at least give Ace a chance. Mark grabbed the loop of string around his neck, found the clasp and undid it. He felt the weight on the end drag it off and fall to the ground. Then everything sped up to its normal speed as the portal closed around him.
