Final chapter is here.

Sorry for the delay I totally forgot about it till the other day, found this chapter hiding in my files. I've tweaked it a bit to finish it off. I hope you all enjoyed it.

McKay woke suddenly. After, which he felt a sharp pain in his back. It took him a minute to gather his bearings, he then heard Ronon talking, "Nice going."

Confused and dazed McKay took in his surroundings and slowly stood up. It was then he heard the squawk of the creature and could see he was back in the cave where it all started. "It worked."

John, Ronon and Teyla all exchanged glances at each other. John spoke up first. "You feeling alright?"

"What worked?" Asked Teyla.

"I stopped myself from breaking the egg, that's what worked."

"Check again hot shot," replied John pointing his finger behind Rodney.

Rodney's eyes went wide as he looked behind him and his face fell when he saw the damage, "Oh, you've got to be kidding me, please not again."

Surprising the others Rodney shot of towards the Gate, whilst yelling back at them. "Break the other egg and don't let that creature get to the Gate, long story not enough time!"

"McKay, are you crazy you'll be killed, with all the Wraith out there!"

"A chance I'm willing to take Sheppard, just stop that thing!" With that McKay was out of site.

McKay managed to dodge the odd stunner blast aimed in his direction. The second he got to the DHD. He began dialing.

He transmitted his IDC and warned the Gate personnel that he's coming in hot. After which he stumbled through, stunner blasts whizzing past his head. "Close the Gate!"

"McKay, what on earth is going on?" Complained Caldwell as he made his way down the staircase once the Gate shut down.

"Caldwell, what are you… Where's Elizabeth?" With the adrenaline rush he'd forgotten the timeframe and quickly shot past him remembering where she'll be. Ignoring the angry shouts of protests from Caldwell.

Forgetting the burning pain in his legs from all the running, McKay pushed himself on towards the East Pier he got to the walkway and he could see Elizabeth running towards him. "Oh, thank god," he almost collapsed with relieve.

Surprised to see him, Elizabeth ran up to him and caught him by the arms before he sank to the floor. She could see the sweet pouring of him; he was so warn out for a minute he'd lost his voice. Took him a while to find it again.

"You're safe," we're the only words he could muster before the city's lockdown alarm started.

McKay couldn't believe, that the alarm had started and he quickly activated his earpiece. "Control Room, please don't tell me they didn't let the creature in?"

"Care to tell me what's going on?" Asked Elizabeth the confusion was evident in her voice.

The only response McKay got through his mic, was muffled cries and gunshots being fired. "Damn it, they let it in."

"Let what in? McKay what is going on?"

"No time to explain, must get you out of here for some reason that creature is about to choose you over everyone else."

"Creature… What?" She didn't need to say anything else, because white light had started to feel the walkway.

"Shit!" McKay scrambled to his feet and encouraged Elizabeth to run back the other way with a little push on the back of her shoulders.

They could soon hear John yelling to the team that the stunners were working but McKay knew it wouldn't be enough.

He then remembered what would kill it and grabbed Elizabeth's hand to make his way to the East Pier. But they immediately pulled from each other after feeling a spark of energy on contact.

Everything McKay had experienced suddenly flashed through Elizabeth's mind as though she was reliving the events and could here her own voice. "Manipulating time is something I can do."

She suddenly stepped back from McKay putting as much distance from him as she could. "You're the reason it chose me."

McKay knew it too and repeated her actions by stepping away from her in the opposite direction "The water, it's the only thing that'll stop it. Go to the balcony, the one on the East Pier."

She nodded at his request and headed towards it.

McKay watched as the creature, fly past him. Knowing there was nothing he could do to stop it. Now knowing that the whole time, he had been the one responsible. At the same time almost creating a Paradox.

John had now reached him and asked him what was going on. McKay told him were Elizabeth had gone and there wasn't anything anyone could do.

"Well right now, Elizabeth isn't armed and is in danger," said John.

"We can't do anything, will only aggravate it more, she's on her own."

"She may still need our help McKay, come on," encouraged Sheppard.

Knowing the creature wasn't far behind her, Elizabeth opened the door to the balcony and stepped out.

She backed up towards the railings, as it showed up. Looking over her shoulder she could see the waves crashing into the side of the city below.

The creature entered through the door and she turned back round to face it. There was only one way out.

She hoped the creature would follow all the way to the bottom.

She climbed the fence and as the creature moved towards her she dived into the water below.

The creature followed close behind.

Sheppard and his team ran though the door, when a bright light erupted and all three ran to the edge to look over and could see Elizabeth free falling.

Without even thinking it Sheppard removed his jacket and shoes and dived in after her.

Elizabeth hit the water and the creature's screams echoed all round, as it evaporated on touch. Being unconscious Elizabeth sank to the bottom.

John splashed into the water soon after. Not seeing her swimming above he dived under in search for her.

Ignoring the strong currents as he swam.

He could see her arms, flaying about in the water and reached out to grab one. After which pulled her up to the surface.

The three above we're relieved to see him surface with her and began running towards his location McKay calling for a medical team on the way down.

Ignoring the waves crashing into them, John checked for a pulse the minute he surfaced. He panicked when he couldn't feel one and quickly swam to the edge.

Moments after he'd climbed out with her, Carson and full medical support team showed up. "Carson, she's not breathing."

"Mind out the way son." Informed Carson as he moved him back.

The team rushed down the staircase and got to the edge just as the medial team lifted Elizabeth onto the gunnery and rushed her of to the infirmary.

"John, is she okay?" Asked Rodney as he watched them leave and could see the some towels, left on the ground.

"It was a close call but she's gonna be fine McKay. They are taking her in, to run some scans to make sure nothing was broken in the fall."

"Why did it choose Doctor Weir, and not any of us?" Asked Teyla.

"I know why." Replied McKay.

They all looked at him and he tried to explain, "The creature can't see. It homes in on the energy signature from those who have been in contacted with the breach. That signature can be passed on to others on contact or close proximity.

"The first time it attacked, was my fault, it was attacking me but seeing as I wasn't really there Elizabeth was the closest to that signature and now I've done it again by touching Elizabeth's hand I've passed on that energy signature."

"But, all three of us where in close proximity to you." Added Teyla.

"Yes, true but all three of you we're armed, as we've all witnessed it doesn't like being threatened."

"If it can't see, how does it know it's being threatened?" Asked Ronon.

"Please… all three of you have shot at it."

"Well we destroyed the other egg as you suggested so lets hope this little venture is over with." Replied John.

The End
