Ch.2
Asura and her companion tried to get a better look at the new creatures. They crouched down lower and moved a few paces next to the closer trees.
The leader of the group was still yelling something out.
"I have no idea what they are speaking about, do you?"
The Mandalorian shook his head. "Not at all. Some langauge I've never heard."
Asura agreed. Their strange demeanor was interesing to her, but she was convinced that they were dangerous. They would have to go about this carefully.
The Mandalorian was getting impatient.
"I say we just go up there and see what they do."
"It sounds like a bad idea, but we can always protect ourselves." She grinned and patted her lightsaber. "Besides, I'm a jedi. I have some sort of negotiation skills."
The Mandalorian rolled his eyes. Or the best he could given the fact that his head was covered.
To Asura's surprise, he stuck out his hand. At first he didn't seem enthused about the idea.
"I'm Jakel by the way. Just incase we don't get out of this."
She smiled and shook his hand. "Asura."
"I know, I was sent to kill you, remember?"
"Oh right."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile, Colonol John Sheppard sprinted over to where McKay, Ronon, and Teyla were hiding out. It was behind a collection of large trees near the farside of the gate. But it was far enough to keep their distance and to also keep an eye out.
So far this trip had taken too long. The neighboring planet had great resources but negotiations took what seemed like forever. Sheppard was still securring details when he sent his crew out a few mintes early to report back to Weir.
But they came to find the gate already occupide by Wraith.
He squated next to them, now slightly exhasperated. "How long have they been here?"
Ronon shook his head. "Couldn't tell you. We've been here for only a few minutes."
"So far there is only one group of Wraith. But there was a large energy reading from the gate before the Wraith came." McKay said while looking at his ancient device. "We weren't here to see if any others came through."
Sheppard looked grim. "Well this is just great."
Teyla looked over at John. "We should go warn the village. These Wraith are here for a reason."
McKay glanced at both Teyla and the Colonel. "Yes, but we can't risk being seen and caught ourselves, now can we?"
"Rodney.." Shepperd started to comment.
Suddenly Ronon, who had been busy looking at both Sheppard and McKay, shot up.
"Who are they?"
The team looked over at where the Wraith were and saw two foriegn figures. A woman dressed in robes from what they could tell and some strange being in a heavy armored suit. The team could tell right off they weren't locals.
The woman was seemingly trying to converse with them.
Sheppard shook his head. "What the hell is she doing? She's going to get herself killed."
The Wraith didn't seem interested in what she had to say. One warrior walked over to her and tried to grab her.
But she effortlessly caught his arm and threw him down.
And then shots were fired. Wraith stun guns were going off everywhere, but the woman seemed too quick.
The team couldn't believe what they were seeing, the woman had some sort of green energy blade that was cutting into the Wraith like there was no tomorrow. And the heavily armored person was very good with his gun and was hitting with pinpoint prescision, but wasn't as effective against the wraith as she was.
The Wraith were now in a panic and were starting to retreat. One started to dial-out while the woman was defending herself against them.
She tried deflecting the beams from the stun guns, but finally got hit. At one point she was being shot by five different guns at once. The armored figure was finally taken down by a stun bolt, but the woman went after the shooters with full fury.
"She's got them on the run." Sheppard said finally with amazement. "This is crazy."
Once the gate was up and running, the remaining Wraith started retreating through the gate. The woman was starting to look a little delerious, the stun was starting to take effect as much as she tried to fight it. She slumped to one side and after a few extra seconds, she passed out.
Some straggling Wraith noticed she had now fallen. One picked up her weapon and tucked it away. They glanced around as if trying to decide what to do with her body.
"We have got to help her." Teyla announced getting up from the spot.
"You're right. We should take advantage of this." Sheppard said and his team followed suit and ran over. He and Teyla used a surprise attack, their P-90's flairing while Ronon used his own gun.
For the second time that night the Wraith panicked and ran through the stargate.
The gate switched off. And suddenly everything was quiet.
Through the frenzy there were now Wraith bodies all around. The woman's companion was no where to be seen, which was odd since he wasn't carried through the gate.
McKay crouched next to the woman's body.
"Well, she's still alive. We should take her to Beckett."
Sheppard nodded and motioned to Teyla. "Go ahead and dial it up."
She nodded and put in the Atlantis sequence.
"Does that exactly seem safe?" To John's surprise it was Ronon.
"We took you in, didn't we?" McKay answered back, in a way only Rodney McKay could.
It seemed to satisfy Ronon.
Sheppard was still inthralled with what he'd seen.
"Jeez, did you see that? She was hit like 10 times with a stun gun and was still going at it."
Teyla nodded. "She is most deffinately a warrior. None like I've seen before."
"That weapon was...interesting." McKay said while glancing at the down Wraith bodies. They were cut by the blade with a specific prescision. But the cuts almost looked like burns.
"It could have been of some importance." Teyla stated, she also was looking at the fallen Wraith. "Perhaps that is why they decided to take it."
Sheppard looked grim.
"Well, let's hope she won't miss it."
After the gate was up, Ronon picked her up and carried her through.
Next: Off to Atlantis!
