Chapter 2: An old friend returns.

Once at the Jumperbay, Rodney began to fill up the ship with stuff they would need for the mission. Zelenka arrived with the probe and handed it over to Rodney.

Zelenka said, "Here is the probe Rodney."

Rodney looked at Zelenka and said, "Thanks Zelenka. Can you go over the data I collected on the replicator ship and the rip in space?"

Zelenka said, "When do you want this finished Rodney?"

Rodney said, "You have as much time as you need."

Zelenka noded, then turned to leave the Jumperbay and work on the data. Rodney secured the probe to the Jumper and placed the rope needed to tie himself on board the Jumper. Sheppard helped get Rodney ready for the mission. Ronan decided to join them on their mission as a backup in case something went wrong. Sheppard closed the doors, and did a system's check before leaving the Jumper bay, then the alarms started going off.

Sheppard pushed his ear piece and said, "What's going on?"

Sam said, "We have a replicator shuttle heading towards Atlantis."

Sheppard looked at Rodney and said, "Say again did you say replicator shuttle?"

Sam said, "Yes there's the shuttle heading our way, so the mission has been scrubed."

Sheppard said, "How long until they arrive?"

Sam said, "They should arrive in a few minutes. I'm sending security to meet them when they arrive."

Sheppard said, "Do you want me to head towards the Ancient chair?"

Sam said, "Negative, I don't want to use the drones on them. But what bugs me is why they would wait 3 hours to attack."

Sheppard sighs then said, "I don't like this one bit, but we don't have a choice. Me, Ronan, and Rodney are heading to meet up with the security teams."

Sam said, "Be careful."

Sheppard said, "We will."

The communication ended, and the three of them headed down and met up with the security team and waited for the replicators to arrive. John,Rodney and Ronan arrived at the place where the replicator shuttle would arrive. The sercurity team hand over some anti-replicator guns and P90s.John hands them over to Ronan and Rodney.The ship arrived and John and his team stand ready to confront the replicator's.

John looked at Rodney and said, "This day can't get any worse can it?"

"Unless you call them worse." replied Rodney.

The eerie sound begins and suddenly the replicators appear. John looked at everyone, then back at the replicator's and said, "Lock and load."

They all started pointing their guns at the replicators and shooting at them. A 100 plus replicator's appeared on Atlantis, and began attacking John and his team. John pushed his ear piece and said, "Sam there are too many of them, we may not be able to hold them here."

Sam said,"Acknowledged Sheppard, just do what you can, then get out of there."

Two replicator's came out of the ship, and one of them walked over to a computer panel, and placed it's hand into the panel and suddenly in operations the computers go crazy. In operations Sam and Chuck looked at the computers as they go crazy. John remained on the line and listened to what was going on.

Chuck was working at his work station and said, "What the...?"

"What's going on?" asked Sam.

Chuck looked at Sam and said, "There tapping into our systems."

Sam said, "Cut them off."

Chuck pushed a few buttons then said, "It's too late, they've stopped."

Sheppard looked at the replicator who was tapping into the system, and said, "Get away from there!".

The replicator looked at John then steped away. John was surprised by the way it acted."

Sam said, "John they seemed to have stopped tapping into our systems."

Sheppard said, "That was werid, Sam?"

"What was werid John?" asked Sam.

Sheppard said, "The replicator stopped when I said get away from there."

Sam said, "That is werid even for them. I don't like this John."

Suddenly the replicator looked at the other replicator and said, "Two, you know what the plan is?"

Two said, "Yes, I do."

The replicator's then suddenly stopped and just stood there while one of the human replicator looked at John and his team. John and his team stop firing and John looked at them then said, "Why did the stop".

Rodney scratched his head, and said,"I don't know it's not like the replicator's."

"I agree. replied Sheppard."

The other Replicators looked at the other one then nodded. There was a flash of blinding white light as the Replicators, John and Rodney disappeared with them. The replicator ship then left the orbit of the planet that Atlantis was on. It entered the rip in time, but it stayed open. Ronan and the rest of the team are shocked by what just happened. Ronan pushed his ear piece and said, "They were taken by the replicator's."

Sam shocked by what Ronan said, "What? Why would they take them? That's deffinitely not a replicator strategy."

"Why take them?"asked Ronan.

Sam said, "I'm not sure why they were taken."

Chuck said, "Colonel?"

Sam turned to look at Chuck and said, "What is it?"

Chuck said, "I found out what the replicator's took."

Sam said, "What did they get?"

Chuck looked at his computer, and said, "They took infomation on our Anti-replicator weapons, Ava Dixion and nanites.

"Did you say Ava Dixion?" asked Sam.

Chuck said, "Yes."

"What would they want with Ava Dixion."asked Ronan.

Sam said, "I don't know Ronan, but I don't like this. We need to send a ship through to save John and Rodney."

Ronan said, "Yea, I agree, but we don't even know if it's safe for us."

Sam said, "Zelenka should have some answers for us. I'll go see him and see if he has any answers for us. Carter out."

Carter left operations and headed to see Zelenka. Meanwhile on the Replicator ship, John and Rodney are surrounded by replicators, and are pointing the guns at the replicators. They both look around, as more replicators surrounded them

Rodney said, "Where are we Sheppard?"

Sheppard looked back at Rodney and said, "I think were on the replicator ship Rodney."

A familiar voice from the shadows starts talking to them. A voice from their past.

A familiar voice said, "Welcome aboard, Dr Mckay and John."

Sheppard said, "How do you know us? Who are you?"

A fimilar voice said, "Come now John, you don't recognize an old friend?"

The person emerged from the shadows and said, "Surprised to see me."

Rodney said, "Elisabeth."

Replicator Elisabeth Weir said, "That's correct Rodney."

"You're a replicator aren't you?"asked Sheppard.

Replicator Elisabeth Weir said, "That's correct, I'm a replicator."

"What do you want with us." asked Rodney.

Elisabeth said, "We need your help."

Sheppard said, "What if we refuse to help?"

"Then we will be forced to kill you." replied Elisabeth.

Sheppard said, "Since you put it that way."

Elisabeth said, "We know about Ava Dixion, and want more infomation on her. We know you were with her John."

Sheppard said, "I don't know what your talking about?"

Elisabeth said, "Come now John, I know you can't say anything."

Sheppard signed said, "What do you want to know?"

Elisabeth said, "We want to make Replicators like her?"

Rodney said, "Like her? Are you saying you want to create replicators."

Elisabeth said, "That's correct, we dont replicate as the others do."

"Others?" asked Sheppard.

Elisabeth said, "The other replicators replicate themselves, we don't. Those replicator's are on the verge of taking over the universe in our reality."

Sheppard said,"You read the file, so you know as much as I do."

Elisabeth said, "Perhaps. Maybe you left things out."

"I have a question?"asked Rodney.

Sheppard said, "Not now Rodney."

A replicator, who's name is One goes to see Elisabeth and spoke to her.

One looked at Replicator Weir and said, "They're stalling! Let's get rid of them."

Elisabeth said, "I give the orders, not you!"

One said, "It will be your undoing! You have emotions for these humans."

Elisabeth said, "Here's the data on Ava Dixion."

She pushed a few buttons and the infomation appeared in front of them.

Rodney looked at the computer screen and said, "That's infomation on Ava Dixion. You stole that data from our computers."

Elisabeth said, "The data will be destoyed after you finish helping us."

Sheppard said, "Where are we, and where are we heading?"

Elisabeth said, "Your in our time now?"
