***My sincere apologies for the delay in posting life and illness has gotten in the way. I hope to be back to posting in my normal routine soon as possible. I have also hinted at a story that I will be writing as another crossover/companion piece to this story. As always I do not own anything and I certainly do not make any money of it. I hope you enjoy and I shall post again real soon.***
As the jumper banked under the command of Harry, Hermione could not contain her curiosity as to their destination.
"Where are we going Harry?" she asked as she took in the view from the window at the front of the jumper where she sat across from Harry. Through the view screen she could see a herd of Abraxan's galloping along with some taking flight.
"You'll see. We're almost there." replied Harry with a small smile.
It was 5 minutes later when Harry set the jumper down at the entrance to a valley. As they left the jumper Hermione could only marvel at the beauty she could see all around her. Plants where blooming and the scent filled the air. She could make out the small twinkling lights of fairies as they flittered around the blooms.
As the set of walking Hermione once again asked "Where are?"
Stepping out front the trees Harry turned and said "We are going to visit the Elves."
"Really." said Hermione as she too stepped up to the ledge that over looked a beautiful lush valley they seemed to hum with the magic of the world around her.
"Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. You are most welcome to the elvin home." said a deep baritone of voice that had a musical quality to it.
Startled they both turned and they could see 3 beings had appeared behind them.
"Who are you?" asked Hermione.
"Would you prefer I call you Mr Harry Potters Sir Miss Grangey?" said the being in question. He was almost 6ft tall with long blond hair braided down his back and green eyes. There was a beautiful ethereal quality to him and his companions. The where of the same build and possessed the same ethereal quality but they had black hair and brown eyes.
"Dobby?" gasped Hermione.
"Indeed when we came here and where able to safely connect our cores to the potentia the curse that had been placed upon us many thousands of years ago by the wizards we became the short ugly creatures we used to be. Now we are here, have a home and are free we are regaining our true form and our true purpose." replied the now named Dobbby.
"Dobby my friend I am beyond delighted that you and the others have regained what was stolen from you so long ago." said Harry with a smile.
"Indeed it was a great day when the change happened. We have regained our true form,our true powers and have resumed our true life's purpose. To he the shepherds and guardians of nature." replied Dobby with an equally infectious smile.
"That's great news. A great injustice was done to your people by our ancestors and it is only right that it is corrected. Would you mind introducing your companions?" asked Harry.
"Allow me to introduce Winky and Kreacher." replied Dobby with a smile as he indicated the two in question.
"It is an honour to be again in the presence of those who liberated us from our servitude." said Kreacher.
Moving to hug the three of them in turn Hermione said "It is such a pleasure to meet you as you truly are and not as the wizards forced you to be."
"No the honour is ours my lady. It is a joy-us and exciting time for us." replied Winky as she broke her embrace with Hermione.
"Come let us give you a tour of our home." replied Dobby.
"Please." said Harry and he and Hermione allowed the three elves lead them deeper into the elvin home.
It was several hours later when Harry and Hermione where once again in the jumper on their way back to Avalon when Hermione said "It was wonderful to visit with the elves in their home. They have come so far and it is all thanks to you, Harry."
"I didn't do anything special." replied a slightly abashed Harry.
Snorting a little Hermione replied "You don't get it do you. You who have never wanted fame and just to be Harry but being who you is what I am talking about. You have returned to us our lost heritage and brought us home to the stars. The Wraith have been defeated and so have the Goa'uld. Your actions are directly responsible for the peace that is beginning two galaxies."
"Well when you put it like that." replied Harry who had turned a slightly pinkish colour about his cheeks.
"I love you." replied Hermione as she embraced him from behind.
"I love you too my sweet." replied Harry.
"Jumper 3 we have you on our screens." came the voice of a flight technician.
"This is Harry Potter on Jumper 3. We are inbound and should be there is 3 minutes." replied Harry.
"Aye sir, the bay is ready to receive you." replied the technician.
As the jumper banked on it's approach to the city both Harry and Hermione could not help but smile at the beauty of the city below.
….Earth SGC 3 days later...
As the command staff of the SGC, Dr Weir and her team waited there where small conversations going on around the conference table in the briefing room.
"How goes the list for recruitment?" asked Colonel Carter.
"It's going really well. I have left the instructions of who we would like you to contact, their skills and so on." replied Dr Weir.
"That is of course is if the High Chancellor will allow any more people to come through from Earth." said Dr Jackson.
"Very true." replied Dr Weir.
"Unscheduled off-world activation." came Walter's voice over the P.A.
"This is it people." said General Hammond as he stood. Everyone followed suit and then proceeded to follow him down the stairs to the control room.
"What have you got Walter?" asked General O'Neill.
"We have an incoming wormhole. Unknown origin." replied Walter.
"Close the iris." said General O'Neill.
"Aye sir. Closing iris." replied Walter and he placed his hand on the palm scanner. As he did so the trinium strengthened iris came out from it's resting place and covered the event horizon of the wormhole.
As the gate engaged a signal came through.
"Sir the system is going nuts. We have lost control of the system." said Walter in a startled tone of voice.
Moving to the microphone near General O'Neill said "Defence teams standby."
As General O'Neill gave the order the iris opened. As the airman took their defensive positions their was a ripple and a man walked out of the stargate. He walked about ¾'s the way down the ramp and waited.
"That's Captain Black." said Dr Weir.
As the SGC personnel and Dr Weir's team moved to the gateroom smiles could be seen on the faces of the personnel in the room.
Coming to a stop at the base of the ramp General Hammond said "It is an honour to receive you Captain Black."
Taking a moment to look around the gateroom Sirius replied "Thank you. I am here for Dr Weir and her team."
"We are ready. If you will give us 5 minutes to collect our bags we shall be with you." replied Dr Weir.
"That is not a problem. Now I believe that the High Chancellor asked for Tealc and some other Jaffa to be present for a brief scan?" said Sirius.
"Indeed. May I introduce Brat'ac my former master. It was he who trained me and instilled within me the hopes that would day we would be free." said Tealc.
Bowing Brat'ac said "Ancestor Black it is an honour to be in your presence."
Nodding in reply Sirius waited as Tealc continued his introductions.
"This is my mate and beloved Drey'ac and our son Rya'c." replied Tealc with pride.
"It is an honour to meet you. Has Tealc advised you as the reason we requested your presence?" asked Sirius.
"Yes Ancestor he has." replied Drey'ac.
"OK this will take but a moment." said Sirius has he took a small device from his belt. Pointing it at Tealc he continued saying "Hold still please."
There was a small flash of light that came from the front of the device and it moved from Tealc's head to his feet. Once done Sirius input some commands on the device and then repeated the process on the trio of Brat'ac, Drey'ac and Rya'c.
"Thank you. I will relay this information to our medical personnel and hopefully they will be able to come up with a solution soon." replied Sirius.
As the four Jaffa bowed it was Tealc who said "We would be great-full for any assistance you could provide."
Nodding in reply Sirius was about to answer when Dr Weir, Rodney and Major Sheppard arrived with their bags and equipment in tow.
"Ready?" asked Sirius.
"We are." replied Dr Weir.
With a slight tilt of his head Sirius used the telepathic link to the gate and it started to activate.
After a moment the gate activated and Sirius said "Shall we."
"Good luck." said General Hammond to the group.
"Thank you Sir." replied Dr Weir and she followed Captain Black and her team through the event horizon.
As the gate disengaged Tealc said "I hope that he can help us."
"I can feel it my friend this is the turning point for our people." replied Brat'ac.
"Colonel Carter I need you packed asap." said General Hammond as he addressed the woman in question.
"Sir?" asked a puzzled Colonel Carter.
"We are heading to Washington to brief the President and then we are heading to Oregon." replied General Hammond.
"Oregon?." replied Carter and then the penny dropped so to speak "We are heading to Eureka to Global Dynamics."
"We are. Dr Alison Blake and her team detected the approach of Anubis's fleet. She contacted General Mansfield. They have been told to stand by and both Henry Deacon and Dr Tess Fontana are there awaiting instructions." said General Hammond.
"Yes sir." replied Carter and she headed out to pack.
"General I need Carter here." said O'Neill as he watched her leave.
"I know Jack but there is more to this than I can say at the moment. Trust me it's a good thing." replied General Hammond as he allowed himself a small smile.
"If you say so Sir." was Jack's answer.
"Alright let's get ready to move people. Ms. Wray are you reading to head to Washington for the briefing?" questioned General Hammond.
"I am General. I have a few last minute notes to write up but I can work on them en-route to Washington." replied Camille.
….Avalon Altera...
Stepping through the gate Dr Weir and her team could only gape in wonder. Around them was a fully manned and staffed city. Staffed by Alteran's it's builders. Turning around Dr Weir could see that unlike Atlantis this city had a great walk-way that connected it to another outer part of the city.
"Oh my god." whispered Elizabeth as she took in the scene around her. Moving over to a window to take a look at the city she and her team could only gasp at the beauty of the sprawling city to which Avalon was a part of.
As Sirius had headed up to Harry office he greeted those that he passed. Coming to the walkway to Harry's office he could see that the man in question was there packing tablets into a case.
"High Chancellor." said Sirius as he addressed the man in question.
Looking up Harry replied "Sirius? Back already and what is with the High Chancellor bit?"
"I thought it better to maintain protocol while the humans where here." said Sirius with a smirk.
"Fair enough. Please have a seat." replied Harry as he indicated the seat in front of his desk.
"I have the scans of the Jaffa that you requested." said Sirius as he produced his scanner with the aforementioned scans on it.
"Excellent. Want to come with me to medical?" said Harry.
"Might as well." replied Sirius as he stood.
"Let's go then." said Harry as he stepped out from behind his desk and lead Sirius to medical.
As they moved through OPS Dr Weir spied Harry and called out to get his attention. "High Chancellor."
Pausing mid-stride Harry said "Dr Weir it is good to see you. Are you and your team ready to return to Atlantis."
"Yes and thank you for allowing us to remain there. I have a few things I would like to talk to you about if you have some time." said Dr Weir.
"OK can it wait until I return to Atlantis. I have some things to do first." replied Harry.
"That is not a problem." said Dr Weir.
"OK well why don't you get your stuff together the people heading to Atlantis are due to depart in the next 30 minutes." replied Harry.
"You are not coming?" inquired Dr Weir.
"I am bit I will be travelling by ship as there is something that I have to attend to first." said Harry.
Insanely curious Dr Weir was about to ask when she thought better of it and just nodded and said "Thank you."
Continuing on Harry and Sirius where engaged in small talk as they entered medical.
Spying Aiyana and Heimdall Harry approached and said "Good morning."
"High Chancellor." said Aiyana.
"How are things going?" he inquired.
"Really well High Chancellor. The new cloned bodies are functioning within 100% of expected norms. We have a few more test to run and then we can begin reviving the Asgard race." replied Heimdall and if he could have he would have been shouting for joy that this race was saved.
"This is excellent news. I will rely this information to Thor and the Asgard that are currently stationed in Pegasus. Now I have a task for you. I asked Sirius to scan Tealc and some Jaffa when he was on Earth to see if we would free them from their dependence on Goa'uld larva." said Harry as he indicated the man in question.
"These are the scans that I have taken of the Jaffa." replied Sirius as he handed over the device to Aiyana.
"We shall get to work on this immediately." said Aiyana as he took the device from Sirius.
"Pull in anyone you need on this, including Andromeda and Emma as well as Luna and Neville." replied Harry.
"We will High Chancellor." said Aiyana.
"Excellent. I shall leave you to it then." replied Harry and he and Sirius left medical.
"Where to next?" asked Sirius.
"I just have to collect my files from my office and then to your ship." replied Harry.
"OK I will go and ensure that everyone is ready. I will see you in a few minutes." said Sirius.
Nodding Harry kept walking and Sirius tapped his comm badge. "Black to the Hermes. One to transport."
In a flash of light and with a slight whining sound Sirius was gone.
As Harry moved through OPS to his office he said to Percy. "Percy I am heading out. Please let Amelia know she is in command again. If you need anything I will be on board the Hermes en-route to Asuras."
"Asuras?" asked a perplexed Percy.
"Indeed there has been and issue with the remains of the replicators that needs my attention." said Harry has he came back to OPS from his office.
"Aye sir." replied Percy who was curious but as he was the type not to let his curiosity get the better of him he choose to enquire no further.
Nodding Harry tapped his comm badge and said "Potter to the Hermes one to transport." and in the flash of the transporter beam Harry was gone.
….Hermes in orbit of Altera...
"Sir the High Chancellor is on board and en-route to the bridge." said Commander Tonks.
"Mr Olivetti signal the Tyche and the Abderas to break orbit." said Sirius.
As Sirius was speaking Harry came onto the bridge "Captain Black please set course for Asuras."
"Aye sir. Helm set course for Asuras. Sustainable cruising speed." said Captain Black as he addressed Mr. Olivetti.
"Aye sir. Engaging hyper-drive engines." replied Mr Olivetti and in space a massive hyperspace window opened and the Hermes followed by her escorts the Tyche and the Abderas swept into hyperspace.
….Atlantis OPS control...
"Sir I am detecting a massive hyperspace window opening." said Warren as he addressed Admiral Moody.
"Raise the city's shields bring the satellite system online." barked Moody.
"Aye sir." said Warren as he activated the cities defences.
Hearing the hum of the city's great shield activate Admiral Moody said "What have you got?"
"We are receiving IFF it's the Alteran fleet accompanying the Videum station." replied Warren.
"Alright folks let's get moving. Warren co-ordinate with Commander's Weasley on board the stations and begin setting things up. I believe we have traveller ships in bound in the next 72 hours and I want everything ready for the commencement of repairs." said Moody.
As the stargate started to cycle through it's start up sequence Warren called out "Gate-activation off-world source. Tracking it's Altera Sir."
"Lower the shield." replied Moody.
As the gate shield lowered people started to come through the gate including Dr Weir and her team.
"Dr Weir, Dr McKay and Major Sheppard welcome back." said Moody as he addressed the people in question.
"It's good to be back Admiral." replied Dr Weir.
...Hermes in hyper-space...
"Sir we are getting sensor reading of an object possibly a ship travelling at 99.99% of light-speed. It's trajectory shows it departing the Pegasus galaxy en-route to Avalon." said Mr Olivetti.
"That's odd. No known naturally occurring object can travel that fast." replied Commander Tonks with a frown.
"It could be a ship, however travelling at that speed relativity would be an issue." said Sirius as he thought of the possibilities.
"Alter course to investigate." said Sirius as he addressed Mr. Olivetti.
"Sir we cannot match that speed. Our sub-light engines aren't designed for such speeds." said Commander Tonks.
"I know but I want to exit hyper-space in the path of the object and when it flies past we can do a full scan and find out what it is." replied Sirius.
"Bridge to High Chancellor Potter. Can you come to the bridge please. We have detected an object travelling at 99.99% speed of light. It should pass us in ten minutes." said Sirius.
"I'm on my way." came Harry's voice over the comm.
As the Hermes and her escorts exited hyperspace Sirius ordered a full sensor scan on the object.
Harry made his way to the bridge and asked "What have you got?"
"The object should pass is in 30 seconds Sir." replied Mr. Olivetti.
"On screen." said Sirius.
The image on the viewscreen changed and showed a small blurry object that was rapidly growing in size.
"The object will pass us in 3..2..1." said Mr. Olivetti. In space the object hurtled passed.
"Sir we have confirmation. It's and Aurora class warship with 342 life-forms on board." said Commander Tonks as she read the sensor information she was receiving.
"Pursuit speed. Open a channel." said Sirius.
"Sir the ship has begun to decelerate...wow their slamming on the breaks and 27.4G's." said Commander Tonks "We are receiving a hail audio and visual."
"Open the channel." replied Sirius.
As the order was carried out a holographic image of a beautiful blond woman appeared.
"Unknown vessel. This is Captain Helia of the Lantean Warship Tria. Our hyper-drives are damaged and we are incapable of making repairs. Will you render aid in the form of hyperspace transport." said the now named Captain Helia.
Turning to look at Harry, Sirius said "Perhaps you should answer her."
Nodding Harry said "Captain Helia, this is High Chancellor Harry Potter of the Alteran domain. It would be an honour to render assistance to our long lost brothers and sisters. As you have begun deceleration manoeuvres we shall wait till you have slowed down enough to take you under tow to Atlantis and we can discuss everything that has happened in the last 10 millennia."
Blanching a little Helia said "Understood. I shall bring my crew out of stasis and we await transport to Atlantis."
As the channel closed Harry turned to Sirius and said "Have the Tyche and the Abderas wait for the Tria and tow it to Atlantis. We shall proceed to Asuras."
"Yes sir. Mr. Olivetti signal the Tyche and the Abderas to tow the Tria to Atlantis. Issue orders to Admiral Moody that they are coming and ask him to make them comfortable until our arrival. Then resume our course for Asuras. Maximum hyper-speed." said Sirius.
"We that was new." said Sirius as he addressed Harry.
"Indeed. I just hope she won't cause us problems." replied Harry with a small frown.
"Your think she will?" inquired Sirius quietly.
"I don't know. Just a feeling telling me to be careful around her. It's probably nothing." replied Harry.
In space the Hermes swept into hyper-space and vanished once again en-route to Asuras.
It was several hours later when the Hermes once again exited hyper-space and assumed a standard orbit above Asuras.
"Scan the planet." ordered Captain Black.
"Sir we are receiving scans. The planet is built up with Lantean technology. We are also receiving approximately 30 Alteran life-signs along with approximately 17500 neural signals." said Commander Tonks.
"Neural signals? What kind of neural signals.?" asked Harry.
"They read as Lantean/Alteran but there is a slight phase variance that I cannot explain at this time." replied Commander Tonks.
"Open a channel." ordered Sirius.
"Channel open." replied Mr. Olivetti.
"This is Captain Sirius Black on board the Alteran vessel the Hermes. Please respond." said Sirius.
"We are receiving a reply." said Mr. Olivetti.
"On screen." replied Sirius.
The view-screen changed to show the interior of a control room. "Captain Black, High Chancellor. It is good to see you. We have an issue." said Javier.
"What's the issue, Javier?" asked Harry.
"The disruption wave worked. However when we arrived we where greeted by an Asuran named Niam."
"How is that possible. All of the replicators should have been destroyed by the wave?" asked Harry.
"I know sir, we where shocked at first but our initial scans show that the remaining replicators have achieved true sentience. It was this that protected them from the wave. We have them contained for the moment and we have ensured that the repair systems that would have begun rebuilding the replicators is deactivated permanently." replied Javier.
"Alright I shall be beaming down along with Captain Black and a security detail. In the meantime can you contact Atlantis and have Admiral Moody begin sending reinforcements through. We need to secure planet. Also please start a full inventory of what they have built." replied Harry.
"Yes sir. Also we have the inventory begun. So far everything is as per Lantean standard of construction from 10000 years ago. Also we have 6 Aurora class vessels that are docked at the ship yards. They are complete but sitting idle." said Javier.
"Good work. We shall be with you momentarily. Potter out." said Harry.
"Shall we?" asked Harry as he addressed Sirius.
"Let's go. Tonks you have the bridge." said Sirius as he stood from his seat and joined Harry.
"Transport us to Javier's location." replied Harry.
"Aye sir." replied Commander Tonks and in a flash both Harry and Sirius where gone.
….Atlantis...
"Sir we are receiving a subspace signal from the Tyche they are en-route with the Abderas and the Tria. Eta 3 minutes." said Warren.
"Alright notify the Videum station that and make preparations to dock the Tria and begin repairs." replied Admiral Moody.
"Aye sir." replied Warren as he set about his task.
It was several minutes later when Warren said "We have confirmation Videum 3 has the Tria docked at pylon 6. They will have a complete damage report and repair schedule in approximately 2 hours. Also I have the Commander of the Tyche on the comm he has Captain Helia and her people ready to transport."
"Alright tell them to proceed." replied Moody.
At the base of the Stargate there was a large flash of light and the tell tale whine of the transporter and when the light faded Captain Helia and her command staff where there.
"Captain Helia, welcome home." said Moody as he made his way down to greet her.
Nodding Helia had a small smile on her face as she stepped forward. Pausing for a minute she then frowned when nothing happened.
"If you are looking for the control tower. Your out of luck. When we reclaimed Atlantis all command codes from the previous High Council and fleet Commanders where erased." said a smirking Moody.
"What right do you have to claim Atlantis?" remarked Helia.
"We have every right. We are the descendants of those who crewed Avalon." replied Moody.
"Avalon?" whispered a Lantean crewman from the Tria.
"Avalon was lost with all hands." replied Helia.
"No it wasn't there is a lot to go through but you will have to wait until the High Chancellor returns. I assume I won't have to confine you to quarters until he does so?" said Moody.
Almost lost in thought Helia replied with a slight frown. "Of course not."
"Alright then I think a meal for you and your crew while quarters are sorted out. Warren can you see to it." said Moody.
"Yes Admiral," said Warren. He didn't have to refer to Moody as Admiral but he was reinforcing the fact that he was an Admiral and Helia was a Captain.
"Captain, join me in the High Chancellor's office." said Moody as he turned and headed back up the stairs to Harry's office. He didn't wait for Helia to follow.
Helia hesitated and then followed along. Taking in the sights of home.
