An Ancient Mistake

Sorry for the long wait, this be updated more often in the future.

Harry and Hermione ran into the control room.
"What's up?" Harry asked.
"We have some sort of null energy being in the city, and it seems to have a negative affect on Humans as well." Weir told him wearily.
"Any idea where it came from?" Hermione asked, curious to the new creatures origins.
"Yes, some ancient lab, some Athosion kids discovered it, along with a very cool system." Shepperd told them, he was very angry to what it had done to his second in command, LT. Ford.
"It seems to be attracted to rich sources of energy.
"Any injuries?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, LT. Ford, it zapped the energy right out of him." Shepperd said angrily.
"We have been leading it through the city by leaving one generator on at a time, when it gets close we switch generators, it cant get to its food source. It just keeps going in circles." McKay added.
"McKay, Hermione, use the sensor readings to see if you come up with a way to beat this thing. Also go to the lab, the Ancients must have built a containment vessel for that thing." Weir told them. As they ran out of the room she turned to Harry, "Make sure that everyone knows to avoid that creature, dismissed."

One Hour later...

"McKay, what was the energy the creature was made of again?" Hermione asked quickly.
"Its 100 negative energy, why? McKay asked. He was tired, and a bit hungry too.
Hermione paled, she said, "In my world we have these terrible creatures called dementors. They have the ability to suck the soul right out of your body..."
"And this has something to do with the current situation how?" McKay asked slowly.
"Most of my world hates the non-magical world, they tend to think that Muggles are a bunch of Neanderthals. Having come from the non-magical world, I know that Muggles have surpassed the magical world in a few key areas. One is science. I captured a dementor in my seventh year, with Harry's help of course, but I discovered something. I had some ideas that might be able to stop them. Dementors are not able to stand radiation that's made of mostly protons, it kills them. That technique might work here, if only we had a way to focus that radiation."
"Let me come up with something, it should only take about an hour." McKay said, an idea popping into his head.

An hour later...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The entity, shall we shall we say, does not like positive radiation, so using a Wraith stunner as a base, I converted it to only shoot a concentrated burst of the radiation, now we cant kill it, but we should be able to make it go into the gate room, where it will be forced through the gate onto a barren planet. Now Hermione also believes that it might shy away from the spell used to make dementors stay at bay. So the two teams that will be pushing it to the gate room will have 2 security personnel an one wizard, Harry will explain the teams." McKay finished his briefing, he hated speaking in public.
" The two teams are as follows." Harry began," "Major Shepperd will lead team 1, made up of himself, Teyla, and Ron." The Major nodded.
"Team 2 will be me and Hermione." Harry finished, but was then questioned by Weir...
"Why does your team only have 2 people?" She asked annoyed.
"Both Hermione and I have a years training with muggle fire arms, and can each cast a patroni charm that can get rid of up to 30 dementors... So we are both safe." He explained quickly, not wanting to make his boss angry."
"Good enough, get going." She said, and that finished the briefing.

Later...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Team 2 , we are reading that the creature is heading your way, get ready." McKays voice came through on their radio.
"Got it, moving into position." Harry said, he and Hermione went to opposite sides of the hallway and aimed at the door.
"Ready Hermione?" Harry asked with a twinge of guilt, in his mind it was his fault that they even knew how to do this.
"Yeah, just like old times." She said with a smile, which disappeared when she saw Harry's face. "Harry!" she snapped, "Stop that, we choose to be your friends, and I don't regret any of it. If I had to do it all again, I would."
"Thanks Hermione, for two years I've been allowing my self to think like it was my fault. No one ever told me it wasn't." He said, once again glad that he had her as a friend. He saw a bit of movement. "Here it comes," and he shouldered the stunner.
"Right." And with that they where back to being the duo that every death eater had feared.

A bit later...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Its getting smarter!" Harry shouted as he fired a burst into the creature, which had avoided every attempt to make it go into the gate room. They where close, but not close enough.
His radio flared to life, "Harry, I have a plan, keep it near the gate room." McKay said, not revealing what was planned.
"Okay, just make it quick!" Harry shouted, as he and Hermione stopped it from trying to escape once again.

In the gate room.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Okay, MALP ready, dialing the gate." McKay said, hoping this would work. "Gate ready, activating the portable generator... active, opening doors."
Team 2 didn't have a chance to fire when the door behind the creature opened, and it went through. They followed at a safe distance. They looked and saw the MALP go through, followed by the creature.
Harry looked up at McKay, "It took you 4 hours to come up with THAT?"
"Well... yeah..." McKay said very slowly, he ran when a flock of birds shot out at him, everyone looked at Hermione.
Ron said with a smile, "And that Shepperd, is why you never annoy Hermione." He ended up running to, as a flock of bird attacked him.
In the background Weir sighed... this job was going to give her a lot of trouble, she could sense it.
