A/N: Can't remember when I posted the last chapter, so this must be late, sorry! Thanks for the great reviews!
CHAPTER TEN: THE ALPHA SITE
The Alpha site was in chaos. They'd lost count of how man times the wraith had found the site and they'd had to re-locate but this time they'd been caught completely by surprise. There was a wraith hive ship above the planet and wraith were beaming down on to the planet, lots of people had already been culled.
Zelenka was in complete panic mode, he and Lorne were lugging the Parallel Universe machine away form any darts, the wraith had succeeded in culling the rest of Lorne's team.
It didn't help when the cursed machine started flashing again. Lorne completely ignored it and fired his P90 at a wraith while still helping Zelenka hold the flashing device.
"We gotta get out of here, doc!" Lorne yelled over the noise of the chaos around them. "That machine's attracting their attention!"
Lorne seriously wished they could run to the Stargate, rather than away from it, but unfortunately the wraith had used the old trick of dialling in to prevent escape. The Parallel Universe Machine sent a blue beam o light behind them.
Lorne and Zelenka had no choice but to ignore it and keep running.
Sheppard, McKay, Scully, Beckett and Dr Frederick Tatum of SGA-8 found themselves in the midst of a very panicked looking battle against the wraith.
Sheppard swore as he recognised it as the Alpha site. A scream to the right drew all their attention as a wraith finished sucking the life out of someone.
Scully's eyes widened in alarm. McKay and Dr Tatum both froze. Sheppard jumped in to action and shot the wraith with his P90.
"What did you do that for?!" squeaked McKay as a dart flew overhead. "We don't even know this is our universe!"
"You said we'd either go to our universe or Scully's!" retorted Sheppard, open firing at the dart.
"I know what I said!"
"Well, is this our universe?"
McKay ducked a stun blast and checked his scanner. "Yes!"
"Good! Now get to the gate!" ordered Sheppard.
"The wraith have already dialled in!" exclaimed Dr Tatum in a panicked voice.
"Then run for the trees!" yelled Sheppard as the group scattered to avoid a darts culling beam.
Dr Tatum ran after McKay who was running for the trees as more wraith beam down to the planet from darts.
The Alpha site was a mess of terrified scientists and doctors who were trying to rescue as many supplies from the base as possible and military personnel trying to help them get out and fight wraith at the same time.
Sheppard practically dragged Scully to the trees. Scully was still trying to wrap her brain around the impossible scene infront of her.
She found her feet and Sheppard shoved her in to the trees.
Sheppard turned to her. "Run as fast as you can find somewhere to hide and whatever you do, don't get caught. I'll find you later."
Scully didn't much like the idea of being abandoned on a different planet with aliens that really could suck the life out of someone with it's hand.
"Where are you going?" she demanded.
"I'm going to try and get as many people to safety as possible." Sheppard told her and ran off before she could argue.
Scully decided to once again do as she was told, getting stuck on a spaceship with life sucking aliens again was not exactly high on her list of things to do.

Mulder, Ronon, Teyla stared as Lt Mills, Sergeant West and Captain Lance Harris materialised infront of them from a blue beam from the Starplate.
"Who are you and where's Scully?!" demanded Mulder noting that they wore same clothing as the other team.
Mills stared at him. "I'm Lieutenant George Mills, this is Captain Lance Harris and Sergeant Amy West. And don't know anyone called Scully."
Mulder looked very pissed. "Oh don't you? Well she's the person who your dumb ass military colonel got stuck on an alien spaceship and then sent to a parallel universe."
Mills sighed and looked 'round at the three of them. Teyla looked exasperated, and Ronon looked equally annoyed as Mulder.
"Yeah, she'd be the red headed FBI agent, right?" asked Mills.
"Where is she?" asked Mulder.
Mills shrugged. "I think she's in our universe with McKay, Sheppard and Dr Tatum."
Captain Lance Harris turned to him. "Tatum's with McKay?!"
"Well neither of them are here⦠oh crap! Yes they are!"
Sergeant West shook her head sadly. "Poor Sheppard."
"What?" asked Ronon.
"McKay and Tatum don't get on," explained Mills.
"Actually, they hate each other," corrected Captain Harris. "They met briefly at the SGC and haven't liked each other since."
"Whatever," complained Mulder. "What about Scully."
"If she's not here she's safe on Atlantis. McKay will get her back here in no time," said Mills.
It took a lot to get Mulder to stare in disbelief, but that just about did it.
"Atlantis?" he asked.

Sheppard woke up lying flat on his back on a hiveship. He opened his eyes to find Scully leaning over him and glared up at her.
"I said don't get caught!"
"Tell those two to stop arguing!" complained Scully.
Sheppard sat up and turned around to see McKay and Tatum.
"Ohhh, so suddenly this is my fault!" grumbled Tatum.
"Well if you hadn't stopped!" complained McKay.
"My shoe came untied!" defended Tatum.
"You should have kept running anyway! Now you've got us both caught!" snapped McKay.
"It was okay when you dropped your 9mm and went back for it! That's what got us caught!" argued Tatum.
"That's a gun! Guns are needed!" shot back McKay.
"Then you shouldn't have dropped it!" retorted Tatum.
"I didn't mean to! At least I stopped to do something important!" sneered McKay.
"I could've tripped up!"
"Shut up you two," said Sheppard.
He was ignored.
"Oooh you could've tripped up!" mocked McKay. "Well by stopping you got us caught and now we are going to have the life sucked out of us by the wraith! Is that what you wanted? Hmmm?"
"We wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you hadn't gotten yourself stuck in another universe!"
"You didn't have to come after us!"
"Next time I won't!" retorted Tatum.
"Shut up!" snapped Sheppard. "McKay, you're going to work with Tatum to get that door open and you are not going to argue!"
"You know you're asking the impossible?" inquired McKay.
"You will stop arguing. If you don't, I swear, I will find someway to get hold of a stunner and stun you both! Even if it means I have to drag the two of you back to Atlantis!" exclaimed Sheppard.
McKay glared at him. "I meant opening the door."
Sheppard shrugged. "You have to do that too."
Scully looked at Sheppard. "They've been arguing about how impossible that is since they woke up."
"I thought so," commented Sheppard.
Wraith cam around the corner holding Zelenka, who was conscious and looking terrified. They opened the cell and threw him in.
McKay threw up his hands in exasperation. "Great! A second idiot to come up with dumb ideas that will never work."
"Just because you don't think they will work, doesn't mean they can't!" retorted Tatum.
"No arguing!" snapped Sheppard.
"Hey! I would like to remind you that you've just asked us to do the impossible so therefore we have the right to argue!" argued McKay.
"No you don't, and you will get that door opened!" retorted Sheppard.
"Didn't I just say I can't? We've been in this position before, I can't open a wraith cell door from the inside! What am I mean to use anyway? My invisible scanner?" snapped McKay.
"How about your visible scanner?" asked Sheppard.
"The wraith took it!" complained McKay.
"Improvise!"
"There's nothing to improvise with!"
Scully sighed, but she simply couldn't resist commenting. "No arguing!"
Sheppard and McKay turned around in surprise. McKay snorted.
"Yeah Sheppard," he said, adopting a child-like mocking voice.
Scully rolled her eyes and wished for the thousandth time that she was dreaming.
A/N: I was starting to get confused with all those universes, so it should be slightly simpler now.
