Chapter one
Some people think that Atlantis is only a myth, legend – something they believed in because they thought that it was an advanced civilization but most people either didn't believe it or thought that it had sunk into the Atlantic ocean. Those people were half right, Atlantis was an advanced civilization but they weren't from the Milky Way Galaxy but rather the Pegasus Galaxy. And only for the last few years have people from Earth been able to go to the true Atlantis and learn about it and from the people who once lived on Atlantis.
At the moment one of the Atlantis teams were off world on a deserted planet, scanner's picked up an energy reading coming from the planet and they are pretty certain that it was from a ZPM. Leading the team on the deserted planet was Evan Lorne, the there's his teammates James Gevorgian, Emilia DeLuca the computer geek and lastly Natalie Vance the weapons Specialist.
First glance at the planet and you would think that you were in some South American Jungle, the only difference was that they didn't have massive disease carrying mosquitoes the size of your hand. It's surprising that such a green and flourishing planet was uninhabited, if anyone chose to live there it was obvious that they would be more then well off.
"Emilia?" Lorne asked as they were carefully making their way through the forest, just because the planet is deserted doesn't meant that there aren't other things there that could kill them, best to be cautious.
"Yeah?" Emilia responded without looking up from her tablet computer.
Lorne looked at her with a shake of his head as he pulled her out of the way from going headfirst into a tree, "Are we getting close to where the ZPM is yet?" he asked
"Yeah, no kidding," James said from behind the two. "I'm beginning to think that you are some evil mastermind who finds fun in torturing us by making us walk all over the place for endless hours." he said with a whine.
Natalie hit James upside the head with the butt of her gun, "Stop complaining Jamsie, you're being a baby. You're a marine, you've been through worse before. Hell from what I've heard the training was the worst part." she said to him with a roll of her eyes. "Besides if I can take it you definitely can."
"Or maybe you just act too much like a guy." he retorted.
Natalie glared at James and gave him a ' did you really just say that' kind of look, "Are you sure you want to go there?" she asked him challengingly.
Before James was able to respond to that Lorne interrupted the two's banter, "Okay kids enough of that. We have a mission to complete, you guys can argue all you like once we're done." he said which earned identical put out expressions from the two.
"So back to the original question," Natalie said looking at Emilia. "Are we getting close to the ZPM?" she asked.
Emilia looked down at her computer and touched a few buttons before she answered, "Yeah, we're only about fifteen twenty feet from it." she said and looked up. "It should just be through that clearing." she said and pointed ahead of them.
So with that said the four of them made their way towards the clearing, but the closer they were getting to where the ZPM was the more agitated Natalie was feeling. There was something else on the planet other then them, she could feel it, sense it and this something definitely did not want her or the others there or finding the ZPM. Because of this feeling Natalie was being extra sensitive to her surroundings, pointing her gun in whatever direction that she heard a sound come from. She might be overreacting but it's better to be safe then sorry.
"Emi?" Natalie asked after a few minutes of the uneasy feeling settled in her stomach. "Are you sure that we are the only people on this planet?" she asked uncertainly, her bad feeling was getting worse and worse.
"Yes Natalie, I'm sure." Emilia said with a heavy sigh. "Believe me if there was any living people here other than us my scanner would be picking it up and so far were the only living people here."
Lorne looked back at Natalie, "Why do you ask Nat? You see or hear something?" he asked.
Natalie shook her head, "No but I got a feeling, a bad feeling and I never ignore it and it's telling me to get my ass out of here." she said as she surveyed the area that they were heading into.
"Hey," James aid nudging Natalie. "We'll get the ZPM and then we'll get out of here and once we get back on base we'll all make fun of you for being so paranoid." he told her with a joking smile.
In response to that Natalie just gave a dry laugh, "Ha, ha. Aren't you the funny one." she replied and turned her attention back to watching the forest and making sure nothing out of the ordinary was going on.
Soon enough they reached the clearing but there was nothing there that could hold a ZPM or even store it, the whole place was pretty bare except for a few trees and other vegetation of the like. The second Emilia saw that there was no ancient technology around that would hold a ZPM she started to freak out, she did numerous scans and it showed that the ZPM was in this clearing but yet, it was no where to be found.
"It's supposed to be here," Emilia said in frustration. "My scans show that it is in this exact spot." she said as she stopped next to a tall tree, on the tree were some carvings but she paid them no notice she was there for the ZPM.
"Maybe you scanners malfunctioning," James suggested carefully, Emilia get's a bit defensive when people insult her instruments.
The second those words left his mouth Emilia turned towards him with a glare, "No they aren't James, they are in perfect working order. I don't understand why the ZPM isn't here." she said and huffed in annoyance.
Lorne had a thoughtful look on his face before he said anything, "Did you think of digging." he suggested.
At that Emilia, James and Natalie looked at him oddly, "Dig?" Emilia asked in confusion.
"Yeah," Lorne said in assessment. "Dig into the dirt, I mean I'm going out on a limb here but this planet has been deserted for generations so whose to say that the plant life hasn't grown over what was once here."
Emilia looked at Lorne and then at the spot where her s cans were showing that the ZPM was at and then back again before she gave a resigned sigh, "I guess there's no harm in trying, it's not like I'm gonna find it by standing her and complaining." she said.
"That's the spirit." Natalie said to her with a smirk.
Emilia just rolled her eyes and she and James started to dig into the dirt to find the ZPM while Natalie and Lorne stood guard just in case there was something on the planet that wanted to attack them that they didn't know about. After about ten or fifteen minutes of digging they finally hit something solid and from the looks of it, it was some kind of device, not ancient but seemed to have the same complexities of it.
Just as Emilia was going to lift the device out of the ground the sound of a gun cocking alerted the four that they were not alone anymore, "Don't move." A deadly calm voice said.
Turning towards the voice Natalie saw that there was a group of men, all equipped with guns and knives and all of whom had their guns aimed right at the four of them in a threatening manner. Obviously they didn't want them to take the ZPM and the device that they discovered, it was probably the thing that was keeping Emilia's scans from picking up that there was human life on the planet.
"Hi," Lorne said breaking the silence between the two groups. "We-"
He was cut off by one of the men, "You were trying to steal sacred technology from us." he said sending a glare at the four of them.
"No we weren't, we thought this place was abandoned." Emilia stated. "If we would have-"
The man cut her off, "Silence, you do not speak. You were trying to take something of ours and for that you will be brought to our leader and dolled out the proper punishment for such transgressions." he said to them in tone of voice that meant that he would enjoy the punishment they would receive much too much.
"Hey, we didn't mean to come and take something of yours." Lorne said defending them and trying to find a way to get them out of this mess. "We wouldn't have taken it if we would have known that you were using it and that there were people living here." he said to them.
The man just smirked, "You should have never come here," he stated and then gestured to four of his men. "Take their weapons and tie them up." he stated.
Immediately the men headed towards Lorne, James, Emilia and Natalie; everyone but Natalie handed over their weapons willingly. Natalie didn't want to give her weapons up, she felt naked without them and defenseless and she would be damned if she would give them up so willingly. These people didn't like them nor did they want them there, and there was no doubt that they were going to either kill them or torture them beyond belief.
Stop fighting and we wont have to hurt you," One of the younger men said to her.
Natalie ignored him and continued to fight again him and two others, she would not go down without a fight. She would rather get injured in a fight them act like a submissive animal, she's a fighter. Suddenly Natalie felt a pain at the back of her head and then everything became blurry before she was completely knocked out unconscious.
