The plan was in motion, John was making it look like they wanted the database back, and the Wraith were not about to let the team have it, things went down hill fast as the Wraith poured in, only to get shot down by John and Teyla as Radek and Rodeny loaded the update to the database.
"How much longer?" John asked as he shot another Wraith.
"Just gimmie a minute." Rodney said.
"You don't have a minute." John yelled.
"OK then how about half a minute?" Rodney asked.
"I think you might need less then that." Teyla said as the Hive Queen appeared, Teyla fired her P-90 at the oncoming female, the Wraith took many shots before it was right in front of Teyla, and knocked away the P-90, within two seconds Teyla and the Hive Queen were in hand to hand combat.
John watched Teyla and the Hive Queen fight it out, it dseemed they were evenly matched. Rodney made a mistake and looked up to see Teyla and the Hive Queen fighting, "Shoot it!" he yelled to John.
"I can't, I might hit Teyla." John said.
Teyla and the Hive Queen had really gotton into hand to hand now, fists swinging and blocking, each knowing the other's next move before they made it, making it near impossible for either to win, then Teyla made a mistake, while trying to grab at the feeding hand, the Hive Queen grabbed her left arm and spun Teyla around as if she was going to feed off of her, Teyla screamed as her arm was pulled back and then the Wraith held a blade to her neck and she shut up fast. John seeing the fight come to a fast end brought up his P-90, as he did so the Hive Queen pressed the blade against Teyla's neck.
For about a half minute there was a standoff as the other Wraith stopped to watch their Queen. The Hive Queen spoke first, "Why have you come Human?"
"You have something of ours that we want." John said, holding his P-90 in a way that he'd miss Teyla but hit the Hive Queen.
"We got it, lets..." Radek looked up and saw Teyla with the knife at her throat, "...oh crap."
"You come for something you lost?" The Hive Queen asked.
"Yes, but now we have it." John said not turning away from the Hive Queen, "What of it anyhow?"
A Wraith of lower ranking then the Hive Queen wispered something in her ears, the Hive Queen looked to John, "You are too late, we have found Earth now, you may leave unhindered by us." The Hive Queen then took the blade from Teyla's neck and let her arm go and shoved her forwards knocking her into John's aim.
John thankfully didn't fire, instead he leaned down and picked up Teyla's fallen gun and handed it back to her, she had a few brusies on her face and arms. But other then those she was OK.
"Leave before we come after you," the Hive Queen said as she turned on the team and left them, the team took off for the Jumper then for there they left the Hive ship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the Puddlejumper Teyla sat in her seat to the side of John, where Ford used to sit, she was rubbing her arm where she had been grabbed by the Hive Queen, oddly enough though for that part of the mission, the team was on the Hive Ship for well over an hour. It was odd, she had never felt anything different in her self when on the ship.
"Nice fighting back there" John said, jolting Teyla out of her thoughts. "How the hell did you learn to do that? And against a Wraith Hive Queen of all things."
"I am not sure, when she knocked my weapon away I acted," Teyla said, "that's all I remember."
"So you're saying that when the Lady appeared in front of you... you, acted, hmmm." John said thoughtfully. "You seemed to be ready for her though, as if you and here were waiting for the other to showup at some point."
"Yes, it did seem that way." Teyla said as the Jumper was in space heading for the Daedalus. which was not seen to the naked eye just yet, though the Supergate was. "That is this 'Supergate' you spoke to Dr. Weir about?"
"Yup, that's it." John said as the Supergate just hung out in space, like a glowing light slowly drawing moths to it.
"That thing's huge." Ronon said seeing the Supergate that was still a ways off.
"The thing is big enough for even a Wraith Cruiser to go through." Rodney said as the Jumper started to get closer to the Supergate. "only I'm not sure if a Hive Ship can get through it."
"Even if they send just cruisers through they will fight the Ori and the Ori will leave Earth and the Milky Way alone, and the Wraith will leave us alone too."
"Are you sure of that?" Teyla asked, as behind the Jumper a hyperspace window appeared, the Hive Ship had come.
John got on the radio, "secure channel three-three-niner-six," he said.
"Codex identified, what is going on Sheppard? There are Wraith bearing at the Supergate."
"Yeah that the plan we want it to look like we don't want them to get through, so start the sucker up and open fire on the Wraith, then jump to hyperspace."
"Are you sure you want us to do that?"
"That's the plan."
After a minute Caldwell called over, not sounding too happy, "fine. Sheppard I hope you know what you are doing."
"I hope I do too." John said.
The Hive Ship started to get closer to the Supergate when the thing opened, and the Daedalus opened fire as if they didn't want the Wraith to go through the gate. The Wraith ship let out a few smaller crusiers, John watched everything, come on, that's it, send the cruisers through first, then see if the larger ship gets through...huh?? The Wraith Hive Ship fit perfectly through the Supergate!
John got on the radio, "Daedalus, hold off on jumping, we are going to land in the F-302 bay in the Jumper"
"Copy that, we see you on sensors, Daedalus out."
As the team spent the remaining time in the Jumper as they neared the Daedalus, Rodney spoke up.
"So... how was, Ascension?"
"It was...different" Teyla said, even when descended she knew should couldn't talk about it, but then, if the team really wanted to know...
Teyla looked out the window of the Jumper for a moment thinking to herself, should she risk it and tell everyone about it? Or should she keep her mouth shut? she noticed something, in fact the whole team noticed it...or rather him... Red was standing outside his quirky grin on his face as he nodded to the team, Teyla could tell them about her time Ascended.
"Well...how different was being Ascened form being alive like you are now?" Rodney asked.
"Well, for one thing, I was...alone" Teyla started to say, then the radio came alive.
"Sheppard with is the Daedalus, the Supergate is opening, but it is an outgoing wormhole and we have orders to relay to you."
"Give them." John said.
"Earth wants you to go through the Supergate."
"What?" John looked to Teyla and an idea came to both of them at once, maybe they could teach both the Wraith and the Ori a lesson, and the lesson was.
Don't...Mess...With...Atlantis...Or...Earth!
