(This is set after my Land of Confusion fic. This fic is going to be more horror adventure but trust me, it's not too creepy. Hope you enjoy it. As always, I don't own the Stargate franchise or any of the characters. Down with disclaimers! I'm just kidding, disclaimers are kinda of important but completely unnecessary on FanFic. Enough of this, on with the story!)

He ran and ran as fast as he could. He wouldn't end up like the others, he just couldn't. That was a fate worse then death. He staggered as he turned a corner, thankfully no one was around. "Where you going?" demanded his Queen who suddenly appeared in front of him. No it wasn't real, it was a trick. "I demand you to stop!" yelled the Queen. He continued past her, he couldn't stop. If he did, then he didn't want to think what would happen.

He finally found what he was looking for. His eyes deceived him but his nose knew the difference. It was the weapons room, he could smell the explosive chemical inside the grenades. He ran inside and grabbed one. "Throw it away!" he heard.

The grenade began to feel hot and looked like it was on fire. His hand burned as he activated the timer and held on despite the pain. Thankfully, the timer ran to zero and he felt pain only a second before he was completely engulfed by the explosion.


Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard came flying down on the mat, groaning. "Again?" chuckled Ronon who was standing over him. Sheppard made the mistake of agreeing to take lessons from Ronon on hand to hand combat. It sounded great at first until Sheppard found out that Ronon likes to take a "hands on" approach. And by hands on he means beating the crap out of his students.

"I'm really glad you weren't teaching me back at basic training. I don't think anybody would have passed." grunted Sheppard.

"Go again?" asked Ronon with a smirk on his face.

"No thanks, my ribs hurt enough." said Sheppard.

That's when his radio activated. "Colonel Sheppard, please report to the control room." came Chuck's voice over the com.

"On my way." responded Sheppard into his ear piece radio.


When Sheppard got to the control room, the gate was active. Richard Woolsey was near the DHD console on the line with someone. "Have you detected any life signs?" asked Woolsey.

"Negative sir. We're not picking up any readings but that could mean that they're just hibernating." responded Major Lorne's voice over the radio.

"What's going on?" asked Sheppard. Woosley turned to face him.

"Major Lorne's team has discovered a Wraith Hive ship." responded Woolsey.

"And from the looks of it, this ship hasn't been off the planet in awhile. There's trees and vegetation all over it. Doctor Eckhardt believes that it's been sitting there for at least a couple hundred years." said Lorne over the radio.

"Maintain your position Major, backup is on the way." said Woolsey.

"Copy that sir." replied Lorne before the stargate deactivated.

"Sheppard, take your team and assist Major Lorne's investigate that ship. You should probably take Major Teldy's team and a squad of marines just in case." ordered Woolsey.

"That's a lot of firepower." commented Sheppard but when it came to anything involving the Wraith, one should always be prepared.

"The more firepower on a Wraith ship, the better." said Woolsey. Sheppard nodded and walked off.


Vega checked the last of her equipment as her team entered the gate room. Things went by smoothly the past two months for her. After being a hostage of Michael and being used as a walking health hazard to destroy Atlantis, Alicia was sent back to Earth where she had a heartfelt reunion with her family. It was somewhat awkward for them at first considering that they thought she was dead.

But that quickly changed, Vega stayed at her apartment while contemplating her future. She decided that it was obvious she needed to go back to Atlantis considering the fact that every night she would look out a window up at the stars, wondering what was happening on Atlantis. Her family was somewhat reluctant about her decision but in the end they understood. Her father and uncle were military and understood the desire to serve (though they didn't know it was the Stargate program she was serving in.)

When she got back to Atlantis, Teldy and the rest of her old team were ecstatic to have her back. Venner even threw her a surprise return party with a good majority of the SG teams, including Sheppard's team. While she was happy that everyone was glad to have her back, she also made a mental note to kill Venner one of these days. She told him on her first day back that she didn't want any big celebration for her return and naturally, he did the last thing she wanted.

Sheppard and his team arrived along with the marines. Four SG teams in one place, Woolsey wasn't taking any chances. But then again, with a Wraith Hive ship that probably was a good idea. Everybody took one final check of all their equipment.

"Remember people. I want everyone in teams of two or three at all times. I trust you've all seen enough horror movies to know what happens to the poor smuck who's alone." said Sheppard. Everybody nodded and Sheppard led the way through the stargate.

(Well, that's it for the first chapter. As you can pretty much guess, bad things will happen on that Wraith ship. But hey, that's pretty much the usual on Atlantis. Hope you enjoy.)
