YAY more work! It's been a slow summer so far. I can't load up files to work in from this computer, so I have to go with one of my flat mates to her campus and load files from there... it's annoying!

Anyway. Please tell me that your still reading this! I know I was stupid in the beginning, but I need to know what needs improvement, and there was the request to know more about how they got to the future and such. I did explain it at the end of a chapter...sorry and all.. but I will put more in there about how they got there.


Upworld-Pearl Harbor

Bridger couldn't understand what the hell he was seeing. He had gotten a call in the middle of the third meeting he had been called to since arriving in that god forsaken place, in all honesty he was glad. He was sick of the meetings, sick of the questions, and most of all sick of the fact that no one understood the gravity of what had happened. There had been an alien war, one that could have traveled to earth, involved the earth much more deeply than any of them could have estimated.

But none of that mattered. It all paled in comparison to what he was witnessing now. It was as if the world had stopped spinning. His head throbbed and his heart seemed to stop beating, all he could think of was Lucas and he wanted to scream.

The SeaQuest was under attack.


On the SeaQuest- before initial attack

"Sir, our sensors have been giving me funny data." Ortiz said.

"What do you mean?" The commanding officer asked.

"Well, it's like someone put a blanket over them. They can't see anything out there but ocean." Ortiz said, feeling a bit foolish.

"Isn't that what's out there?"

"No, there's more out there than just water. Where are all the fish?" Ortiz said.

"He's right. Something's very wrong here." I said, feeling something in my gut. "Move the SeaQuest! We're being fired at!"

"I don't think you've got that authority young lady." The commanding officer said, suddenly we were pitched around the bridge.

"All hands! Brace for second impact! All hands brace for impact!" O'Neill shouted as the ship rocked again.

"Damage report!"

"All hands! Red Alert! All hands to stations! Dive!" O'Neil shouted as we began to maneuver out of the path of the missiles.

"We've got flooding on lower decks. Oh no." Henderson said.

"What?" The commanding officer barked.

"We're taking on water!"

"There's water coming in on the bridge. You've got to abandon ship!" I said, Lucas was standing by the navigation system, shaking his head in horror.

"I can't do that!" The commanding officer shouted above the klaxon.

"You HAVE to! There are students aboard this ship. You have to do something!" I cried out, as another violent shudder sent me sprawling to the floor. "They are innocent bystanders! IF you let this ship get destroyed with them on board, your screwed!"

"Communications is out to the Science decks and the living quarters. We can't sound the abandon ship below level 43. Deinera, we have to get everyone out of this ship. You and Lucas, can you do that?" O'Neil said.

"You can't override my orders! We won't abandon this ship!"

"We just did. We're relieving you of command." Ortiz said. "Deinera, go warn the students. Lucas, you get the other scientists. O'Neil and I will handle the officers."

"We have to try to save the SeaQuest." O'Neil said.

"Tony and I can go out and do what we can for repairs. We're not too far down that the pressure will kill us. The siphons should allow the SeaQuest to come back up, but we're taking on too much water to keep it safe for those of you without our capabilities." I said.

"Alright. Do what you can, and above all, stay safe." Ortiz said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Ben! Start getting the launches ready!" O'Neil said.

"Yes sir! Deinera, you need to come with me!" He shouted.

"No Ben. I'm staying here. I'll do more good for the SeaQuest here." I said.

"I can't let you do that Deinera. You'll get killed!"

"Please, father. Let me do this. I know I can. I can't just let the dreams of hundreds of people sink to the bottom of the ocean. Besides, it's what I can do for the world." I said. "Someone else wants this ship, and he's not going to be kind if he gets it."

"Alright. But the moment it starts getting dangerous, join us on dry land. It's not worth dying over." Ben said. "After this is through, you won't forget your old man, will you? The SeaQuest isn't all it's cracked up to be."

"Yes, and I'll even come to the opening of your new restaurant daddy." I said, kissing his cheek. He hugged me tightly for a moment, then let go, tears in his eyes.

"Go work your magic, baby girl." His whisper followed me through the halls as I raced past flooding water to get to the showers, where a majority of the girls were right now.

They didn't seem to notice that there was flooding into the showers. There was so much noise going on, you could hardly hear the red alert klaxon. I dashed in, ignoring the cold brackish water sloshing around my ankles. I shoved the doors open, throwing towels and clothes at the girls, who were screaming in surprise now at the cold coming in from the hall. I blanketed out the noise to a level where I could audibly shout. They were pissed, but I froze their words in their throats.

"We're abandoning ship! We're taking on water! Get out of here!" I shouted.

"What in the hell are you talking about? We're in a shower, of course there's going to be water on the floor." One of the girls screamed.

I usedwhat little telekinesis I had leftto splash the cold sea water on her. She shrieked.

"Brace for impact! All hands to launches, Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" O'Neil shouted through the PA. Lucas had managed to get it working, for how long was up for debate.

"We're taking on water! Get out of here now!" I shouted.

The girls shrieked again. I was hit with a wave of water as they grabbed towels and began running from the shower room. But what they had shrieked at was not the water, but a figure that seemed to come out of nowhere. Before I could register anything more however, the wave of water rushed over us, and we were slammed into the door, landing outside the shower room. I lay there for a moment, stunned. Then I sat up quickly, rolling over the body next to me. The hull must have had a hole in this area, the water was coming in fast.

"Michael!" I cried out, lifting his head up to look at my friend. He looked at me, and paused a moment, as if thinking.

"Nera!" He said, laughing, a British accent colored by a German undertone, it warmed my heart to hear something that familiar. "Wasn't looking to find you in the shower room with that lot." I dropped his head onto the floor, a loud thunk resounding with his yelp of pain.

"What the HELL were you doing in the shower room?" I shouted at him. I shot up, shouting into my communicator. "Forget that. O'NIEL! SEAL THE SHOWERS! The water in there is going to flood the rest of this deck and I haven't evacuated it yet!"

"Looks like you've settled well." Michael said, sitting up in the water.

"Come on. We're being fired at." I said, yanking on his hand.

"I think we've all realized this by now." He said.

"What you haven't realized is this is the most powerful ship in the ocean Michael. Anyone firing on us would have to be stupid, or have something else in mind other than to sink the ship, not to mention knows what the hell is going on." I said.

"You seem to know a bit." He said.

"Gods Michael, I've missed you so much." I said, crying as I hugged him tightly.

"I've missed you too Nera." He said, wrapping his arms around me protectively. "Come on, best be on our way. Can't be around when the place floods."

"Come on, we've got to get the rest of the people out of here!" I shouted, racing down the hall. He went the other direction; we kept in contact through our minds.

'I've notice your implant isn't on anymore. What egg head did that for you?' he whispered in my mind.

'His name is Lucas, and he's not an egg head.'

'Ahh, a good mate he is. Hope I get to meet him.'

'Keep an eye on what you're doing Michael. We can't go back in time to fix the screw ups here.' I replied.

It took us ten minutes to make sure all of the personnel were evacuated from the level we were on. By then the water had risen to our knees. I met Michael in one of the halls, hugging myself tightly. He put his arms around me, trying to keep me warm as the equipment around us sparked and exploded, things were not going well for this part of the SeaQuest. I had been trying to reach O'Neil for a few minutes already, but the communications must have gone out again. I felt like crying. We couldn't get out of there, not with the violent attacks leaving most of the deck dangerous. They had most likely already sealed it off. I sent out a message to Lucas, letting him know I was alright. The ship was already doing some of it's own repairs to the volatile conduits. The launches that had already left had been attacked, but had made it to dry land with no casualties.

"Michael, we have to get to the dolphin tunnels. It's the only way back to the bridge." I said.

"Alright. I'm up for a kip in the water. I've already frozen me knickers off I think." He said.

"Oh quiet you." I said, grabbing his hand.

About that point, a wall of water came roaring at us. He threw his arms around me, and we pressed ourselves against the ground, praying that we would come out of this alright. When it was finished, we had water up to our chests. I looked at him, and he grinned. We dove under the water, and I began to lead him to the closest entrance to the dolphin tunnels, which was underwater, so it wouldn't make a difference to open it in the hall. We swam in, and began to make our way towards the bridge, the water was rising very fast.

The SeaQuest was in some real trouble.


sorry if it was a bit crappy, had a bottle of Kahlua White Russian. It tastes a lot better cold... so if your drinking any.. chill it first.
