I don't own anything
Intergalactic void, The Ark 'May 2006'
In a surgical pod with semi-transparent material, a young man was laying inside. A pressurized hissing echoed, as the upper part of the pod opened up. Kabuto's eyes opened up and he sat up, and coughed heavily, taking in some deep breaths.
The grey haired sorcerer reached up to the side of his head, feeling a massive headache. Kabuto looked around through squinted eyes, as the light hit him. After a few minutes, the light seemed to die down and he wasn't blinded by the lights in the room. Kabuto coughed to himself lightly, as he turned and had his legs resting over the pod.
His hand reached around, until he grabbed onto something. He pulled the object towards him and opened it up, before he put on his wire, circular-framed glasses. Kabuto groaned to himself and pushed himself off the pod. He stumbled forward a bit, but caught himself before he could fall.
Kabuto leaned against a wall, feeling his equilibrium try to re-balance. He walked along the wall, using his arm to support himself as he walked. He heard silence and continued to walk himself against the wall.
After a few more steps, he began to get his motor-skills down again. Not used to his bone and muscle density. Kabuto pushed himself off the wall and began to support himself by his own ability.
It took only half an hour for Kabuto to get coordinated with his own body. He walked towards a chair and a holographic projector at the other side of the room. He looked down and saw some clothes he set for himself before he entered the surgical pod.
Kabuto knelt down and picked up a pair of dark jeans and a white long-sleeved shirt, before he put them on. When he put his shirt on, he noticed his hair was longer than it was originally, causing him to sigh in annoyance.
He walked towards a garbage container, before he leaned his head down, causing his long ash-grey hair become loose. He formed a bone blade from his palm and used it to cut his hair down to a shorter size. He shook his hair to get any small pieces of hair or anything of the like out, so his cloths wouldn't get all scratchy.
He lifted his head back up and looked around, with his hair being neck length again. It was still moppy and had some bangs in front of his eyes. Kabuto brushed off his cloths, before he heard several insectoid clicking, causing him to turn around and saw a Promethean Knight behind him, holding a tray with a large amount of food.
In no more than ten minutes, Kabuto devoured everything. With his body needing calories to sustain its new denser muscles and bones, he was starving. When he was done, the Promethean Knight translocated and returned with more food.
It tilted its head and handed it to him, as it made more clicking sounds. "Thanks." Kabuto sighed out in relief, as he devoured more and more food.
It was almost an hour later, where his body was able to get enough calories, after being deprived of it for almost a year. After he put the tray down he reached out and lightly touched the Promethean Knight on the head.
"Thanks…" Kabuto said hoarsely, before he slowly stood up and rolled his neck. The Promethean Knight tilted its head and made an assortment of clicks, before it translocated away.
Kabuto looked around and noticed the room he was in was silver, with several tinted windows around the room, not letting people see inside the room. He stood up and head towards the exit and it opened up. He looked around and saw he was in the Medical Bay of the SR-2 Normandy that orbited around The Ark.
He looked around the Crew Deck of the vessel. He took a few steps forward and looked to his side, looking down the Main Battery Deck, which is where the Thanix Magnetohydrodynamic Weapons were holstered inside the ship. Kabuto looked around the empty deck and held the side of his head, before he walked around.
He walked into the Observation Deck and looked at the Ark and rubbed the side of his head. The Ark looked the same as the last time he saw it, it also had the same sized fleet as he saw it. Which he assumed was because he sealed off the Kamui dimension, preventing the Supergate from giving large materials to the Kamui and letting the Replicators make the vessels of his specifications.
Kabuto looked towards the Supercarriers, infinity and Assault Carriers in battlegroup. "…Now, where the hell are they?" He asked himself. He had no idea what happened to Yang or Sam where. Before he went under surgery, he had sent Daronica and Guren back to their respective homes. Daronica did miss her family and Guren wanted to go to a place she saw was normal. Kabuto didn't really mind, it actually made things easier for them, since his augmentation procedure would fly by for them due to the time difference, before he synced the times up when he connected the Supergate with one he would build in his home universe. A wormhole connection of such size would definitely sync them up.
He turned around and walked out of the observation deck and used the elevator to go to the lowest deck. Kabuto looked around the shuttle bay of the Normandy SR-2. He saw the two Kodiak shuttles were replaced. There was one Phaeton Promethean VTOL gunship, along with a Pelican Dropship. He looked in the Cargo Bay and saw the modified black 1967 Fastback Mustang Sam, Daronica and Yang got for him, causing him to smile to himself and look down. He looked through the armory and saw all the original weapons were replaced with UNSC, Covenant, Forerunner, and Goa'uld weaponry.
He entered the elevator again and went to the Combat Information Center deck, he walked past the Galactic Map and headed towards the bridge. Kabuto sat down in the control chair of the SR-2 and opened the 'blinders', letting him see out into space.
Kabuto frowned when he noticed a large shadow looming over the vessel. He looked at the sensors upgraded with Asgard and Ancient technology. He tilted his head and then nodded in understanding. Above him was the massive form of Harbinger laying parallel with The Normandy. He noticed another Reaper under the Normandy. "…Probably Nazara." Kabuto said to himself.
On the sensors he got a three-dimensional read out of the area around him. He noticed despite the Normandy not being anywhere near the Ark or the Fleets guarding it. There were three Paris-Class Heavy Frigates around him, along with two CCS-Class Battlecruisers, one CAS-Assault Carrier, and three Reaper Destroyers around him, protecting the vessel he was on.
Kabuto leaned back and sighed to himself. He noticed a blinking on the console. He reached forward and touched it. "…You have two messages!" A voice announced happily, sounding like Morbid Content's.
"Two?" He asked unsure. He didn't know he could get messages.
"Hey there!" Yang announced happily, as a recording her played. It was dated around half-way though his procedure. "Now, don't get mad okay." She said with a grin, causing Kabuto to roll his eyes. "…I sorta got bored here, so I kinda took a ship…" She began, before she held her hands up. "…It was just a Frigate. I wanted to mess with some people, pose as a God, search for treasure, you know, adventure sorta things. And maybe I'll help out those Earth people." Yang said, before she leaned forward and kissed the camera. "…Love you!" She said happily, before the message cut out.
Kabuto blinked a few times. "…She took a ship?" He asked unsure. "I hope she does know that I made them, for her." He said to himself, before he opened the newest message, which he got just an hour ago, at the same time he was released from his surgical unit.
"Hey, it's me again!" Yang said with a grin, thought it looked more strained. "Um…I've…run into a little trouble here." She admitted, as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "You see…those Ori guys you were worried about, they sorta started showing up. And well, I sorta kicked a few of their asses." She said, before she looked at the camera seriously. "They built one of those Supergate thingies, and I think they're going to send something through it…If you get this, can you get your cute, scrawny butt over here!" She said, giving him the location of where everything was going down, before the message ended.
"The Ori…This makes things so much easier." Kabuto said with a nod. He'd already gotten the Ancient Technology, along with Asgard, Goa'uld and other forms of technology and melded them together, making himself incredibly advanced and has almost an unparalleled amount of knowledge. The only reason he stayed around was to help deal with the Ori, people that could really do some bad shit.
Kabuto reached out and opened communications with Nazara and Harbinger. "Father/Father!" Nazara and Harbinger announced at the same time.
"Yang needs our help, let's go." Kabuto said seriously, as he interacted with the SR-2's control consoles.
"The blonde organic?" Harbinger questioned.
"Yes, her. I know you don't like her, but if she does get hurt…" He trailed off.
"If you need our assistance, you will get it." Nazara interjected, as the SR-2 turned in space.
Kabuto's eyes darted around the console, imputing dozens of algorithms, making sure where he goes is where he wants to go.
"Shall I get the main fleet to join our endeavor?" Nazara asked.
"…No, that's not needed and it'll only slow us down." Kabuto said with a shrug. "Just bring the ships that're near us." He said, imputing more information in the console. He wasn't sure how many Ori ships he was going to encounter, but he won every space battle he was in. He was confident in his vessel's abilities in combat. 'And how powerful could the Ori be?' He thought with a smirk.
"Alright, Father." Nazara replied.
"We will annihilate the enemy with the utmost efficiency!" Harbinger announced.
Kabuto nodded with a smirk, as the SR-2 Normandy moved forward with the engines adjusting. In an instant the vessel gave off a flash and entered a full powered FTL jump.
Harbinger and Nazara faced the coordinates Kabuto gave them, before they followed in FTL too, along with the three Reaper Destroyers. The three Paris Heavy frigates entered hyperspace, with the two CCS Battlecruisers and Assault Carrier entering Slipspace.
At P3Y-229
The Ori Supergate activated with a violent burst of energy. A few hundred kilometers from it a conjoined fleet of ten Free Jaffa Nation Ha'tak's, An Asgard O'Neill-Class ship, The Odyssey, along with a unique Paris-Class Heavy Frigate with the bright yellow flame emblem on the dorsal sides of the vessel.
When the Supergate was activating The BC-304 'Korolev' dropped out of Hyperspace. Yang sat in the command chair of her ship, with hundreds of different ropes around her, all attached to various controls all across the ship.
Yang smiled to herself in anticipation, though she was a bit nervous when she noticed Kabuto wasn't around. She watched from the bridge's window as six pure white, oval shaped vessels with large Stargate styled rings in the center, which gave off an intense white light.
Six Ori Warships exited from the Supergate, before Yang got a transmission from them, well every ship did. Yang looked at it and saw it was some kind religious quote. "I hate riddles." She muttered, as she ignored it.
Yang noticed on the sensors that the ships were charging their weapons, causing her to grin to herself. When the Ori vessels charged their weapons, all of the gathered fleet opened fire. The two BC-304s fired their missiles and automatic railguns, the Ha'taks fired their Staff Weapons and the Asgard vessel fired its ion weapons.
The emblemized Paris Heavy Frigate turned and faced one of the Ori Warships. "…Firing Main Cannon…" A female voice said over the COM network, before a bright streak of white light flew across space at a thirty thousand meters per second. The thirty ton Naquadah projectile collided with the shields of one of the Ori warships.
The Ori warship drifted back a few meters from the kinetic energy, but the vessel and its shields remained largely unaffected. "…Oh, fuck." Yang muttered her herself, as the Ori warships fired their weapons.
Several white pulse beams fired from their ships, and most of them easily tore through the Ha'tak's shields and destroyed them. One of them headed for the Frigate, but with its better maneuverability, it strafed and avoided the pulse beam, with it just barely colliding.
As the frigate evaded, it fired a volley of almost ten Archer missile pods, releasing almost three hundred Naquadah enhanced missile warheads. The almost visible swarm of missiles collided with several of the Ori Warships' shields. Yang pulled on dozens of different ropes, while also trying to push several buttons on the console in front of her.
The Paris Class Heavy Frigate turned and fired another MAC shot at an Ori warship, but it was reflected by the Ori level shields. As the frigate worked to evade the shots, the Ha'taks and BC-304s didn't fare any better, the two BC-304s being crippled despite their Asgard Shields, while the Ha'taks were one-shot'd.
Yang sweated a bit, as she noticed most of the Ha'tak fleet be disseminated, before a hyperspace window formed above the Ori warship, with three more Ha'taks coming out of hyperspace and fired upon the vessels.
The Frigate swerved out of the way of another pulse weapon and went up, before it aimed its main weapon towards an Ori vessel and fired another MAC shot at it, but like before the energy shields refracted it.
Yang nervously pulled at ropes and controls, when she saw one of the BC-304s explode when it was double shot by Ori weapons. She saw as the Asgard Vessel was forced to retreat, with the Lucian Alliance Ha'taks being attacked too. The Frigate moved back towards the Odyssey, before Yang noticed two Ori Warships aiming at her and powering up their weapons.
She fearfully pulled at ropes and tried to control the ship, but the frigate wouldn't move fast enough as the two pure white beams of energy flew towards her.
Just before the two pulse beams could collide with her vessel, a ship, almost a third it size and even smaller than the Odyssey appeared out of FTL. The vessel had the inscription 'SR-2' on its hull. The two pulse beam slammed into the vessel, causing its shields to flare up violently, in a golden energy field that wrapped around its hull.
Yang's Frigate and the Odyssey were grouped near each other, before they quaked when two more vessels came out of FTL. They were to colossal sized vessels that were a bit larger than the Ori Warships. They looked like cuttlefish, with bulky semi-cylindrical bodies, and tapering plate over the rear. One had five tentacle-like 'legs' or arms extending from its front end, in addition to six jointed legs extending from its body, along with deep blue lines along its body. The other one had four main 'leg's, along with multiple glowing eyes, while having darker armor and golden lines along it. The one with deep blue lines had violent storms of red electricity cracking off it.
Near Harbinger and Nazara, three smaller versions of them came out of FTL. In front of the Odyssey and Yang's Frigate a Slipspace rupture formed. Out of the swirling form of black and blue energy, a large vessel formed. The vessel was larger than the Ori vessels, having a sleek, amphibious design with sweeping contours, bulbous sections, with four fin-like structures beneath the bow.
Above the Reapers another CCS-Battlecruiser exited Slipspace, with it underside giving off an intense scarlet light, charging up its Energy Projector on the highest output. The two fleets stood off; before the Ori gave the same message they gave the fleet before.
"Your attack is an insult, you cannot resist. We do not die and you cannot stop us, I am Harbinger of your Perfection!" An angry synthetic voice announced over every COM. "You cannot escape your destiny, I will see to this matter personally." Harbinger informed, only for the Ori to reply in religious text saying they were ignorant.
The white pulse beams flew across space and collided with the two Reapers' shields, which had been upgraded with a hybrid Asgard/Ancient technological shielding, being comparable to Forerunner Hard-Light-like shielding.
The two colossal Reaper vessels' shields shrugged off the attacks, as they leaned back and their legs extended, with several deep, scarlet lights forming in between the joints of the legs and on the legs themselves. The Ori Warships began to charge their weapons again, before a blue ripple of energy formed next to the spreading out Ori fleet.
In an instant the blue ripple of energy spread out and opened up to a giant storm of bright blue energy with black clouds, which vortex outward. Out of the large storm, a massive ship, dwarfing the Ori ships and the Supergate exited the Slipspace rupture. Just as it exited the Slipspace Rupture, the pale white, whale-like, front of the CAS-Assault Carrier rammed into the side of the far right Ori warship.
The Ori warship's energy shield flared violently in a pale white light, while the CAS-Assault Carrier's energy shield flared in a light blue, hexagonal pattern that wrapped around the hull of the vessel. The Ori warship, despite its powerful shields, the CAS-Assault Carrier had a larger power core and power source fueling its shield. While the Assault Carrier's shields weren't as strong as the Ori ship's, it had enough power in it, along with dropping just out of FTL to have enough momentum and magnitude to shatter through the Ori warship's shield and destroy the ship.
The five remaining Ori warships fired their pulse beam weapons. The Ori ship on the far left of the Supergate fired a pulse beam weapon at the CCS-Battlecruiser that was shielding the Odyssey and Yang's frigate. The pulse beam collided with the battlecruiser's energy shields, pushing the vessel back a bit.
The Battlecruiser fired a volley of plasma torpedoes and purple pulse lasers at the Ori warship. The plasma torpedoes strafed and turned in space, spreading out. The pulse lasers fired in an indiscriminate manner, with the purple lasers illuminating the Ori warship's energy shields. When the shields were illuminated, the volley of plasma torpedoes turned and simultaneously collided with several parts of their shields.
The Ori warship's shields fluctuated from the superheated plasma, before the CCS turned and from its fin-like structures it fired an Energy Projector, with a red beam of plasma. As the plasma weapon collided with the Ori shields the Ori Warship fired its own weapon. The Ori pulse weapon fired and collided with the CCS' shields, but some of the weapon leaked through and hit the hull of the ship, creating small explosions along the ship, before the entire ship exploded violently in a bright purple-blue plasmatic explosion.
On the far right, two Ori Warships engaged in battle with the Reaper forces and the Normandy. Several deep scarlet lines of magnetohydrodynamic weapons were shot towards a single Ori vessel, colliding with the shields. Harbinger fired several powerful blasts of the Reaper's main weapon, creating large explosions along the Ori's shields. The Normandy faced it, with a large, twin barreled weapon descending from its hull. The weapon fired a stream of superheated molten metal at relativistic velocities, in a bright blue beam.
The combined assault of The Normandy's Thanix Cannon and several of Harbinger's full powered Magnetohydrodynamic weapon shots were able to overpower the Ori warship's energy shields. Before the Ori shields could come back online and Harbinger's and Normandy's weapons could recharge, a Reaper Destroyer flew forward at high speeds, and then landed onto the hull of the Ori vessel, causing it to swerve and sway. The front armored plates of the Reaper Destroyer folded back and fired its main weapon point blank, destroying the vessel.
Nazara fired its own weapons at the other Ori vessel near the one that was just destroyed; its scarlet weapons collided with the Ori's shields. The Ori warship turned and fired its weapon at a Reaper Destroyer, near Nazara, with the pulse energy weapon obliterating its shields and destroying the Reaper Destroyer almost instantly. The Sovereign-class Reaper leaned back until it was horizontal and fired its main forward weapon, with it colliding with the Ori's shields, but the warship itself fired and destroyed another Reaper Destroyer.
As Nazara recharged his Magnetohydrodynamic weapons, a scarlet beam of concentrated plasma collided with the Ori Warship's shields, as the other CCS-Battlecruiser fired its spinal Energy Projector. The Ori Warship turned and faced the CCS-Battlecruiser with its shields fluctuating, before it fired its weapon. The pulse weapon collided with the battlecruiser's shields, but the Ori Warship exploded in a violent storm of energy, as a column of silver-white condensed plasma tore through it from above, as the CAS-Assault Carrier attacked it from almost a dozen kilometers above with its ventral Energy Projector.
As the crippled Odyssey drifted in space, the far left Ori Warship focused onto it, before a hyperspace window opened up behind it, before three Paris Class Heavy frigates dropped out and almost instantly fired three MAC shots at the Ori vessel. Three, three hundred ton Naquadah projectiles flew towards the Ori vessel at almost thirty thousand meters per second. The Ori Warship's shields flared, but it didn't seem to have any affect, before it fired and destroyed a frigate almost instantly, since it didn't have a shield.
The two remaining frigates fired at once, but their MAC rounds had no affect again, before another frigate was destroyed. While the Frigates were fighting, Yang's frigate was dragging the Odyssey out of the battle field.
The three remaining Ori Warships stood off with Harbinger, Nazara, Normandy SR-2, The CCS-Battle cruiser and Assault Carrier. The Ori Warships turned a bit, before a Hyperspace window opened up and they left in hyperspace.
In the bridge of the Normandy, Kabuto gasped and held his chest and felt some relief. "…What was that?" He asked himself, as he looked at the last Ori ship leaving.
The power that was on the ship, it was a person. It even out scoped his on a metaphysical level. He had the metaphysical level of power the size of the Ark, since all of the people that worshiped and prayed to him were on it. But the metaphysical level of the being on there was the size of a Galaxy. It may not have been honed like his, but it was a violent, maelstrom of potential fiery energy.
Nazara sparked with red electricity, as it used its electromagnetism to self-repair its facilities from battle. Harbinger drifted towards the active Supergate, before it attached one of its 'legs' to it, before the gate deactivated.
"This is Lieutenant Colonel Carter, come in please? Can anyone hear me? Please respond." Carter spoke over the radio. Kabuto blinked a few times, as he looked at the console, before he looked for the frequencies location. "If anyone can hear me, this is Lieutenant Colonel Carter. Please respond." She said again. "This is Lieutenant Colonel Carter. I'm in a spacesuit drifting free, approximately two thousand feet off the front right position on the Supergate." She announced.
"Sam?" A male voice muttered over the radio.
Kabuto pushed a holographic button, before he glanced out the Normandy's view screen. "…Hello?" He asked unsure. "Is ah, this thing working?" He questioned.
"Kabuto?" Carter questioned unsure at the voice.
"Ah, yeah." He said, as he rubbed the side of his head and closed his eyes in pain, before he blinked them open. "Can you explain to me, what the hell just happened? I just came out of a coma almost an hour ago and now I learn the Ori are in the damned Galaxy?! When did this happen!?" He asked loudly.
"It's a long story." Carter said with a sigh.
"Apparently, I'm tracing your signal and I'll pick you up out of the void of space." Kabuto said dryly.
"Hello?" A male voice repeated over the Radio. "It's me, Mitchell." He said, surprising Carter.
"Mitchell? I saw the Korolev explode." Carter admitted.
"I got into an F-302, I must've lost consciousness when the Korolev exploded." Mitchell replied.
"Daniel?" Carter asked.
"…Still on board I think." Mitchell replied somberly.
"I have your signals, I'll retrieve you guys…just don't ruin my ship." Kabuto said with a sigh, as the Normandy's four large Antiproton Thrusters adjusted and illuminated before the vessel flew towards the Supergate.
"That's not needed, the Odyssey can beam us aboard." Carter informed, looking at the still intact vessel.
"I'm afraid that we haven't got beaming capability at this time. Kvasir's working on it." Colonel Emerson said over the radio.
"Oh, you guys have beaming technology now? Progress." Kabuto said in a condescending tone, as he pushed up his glasses. "Since your vessel seems to be damaged immensely, having damaged shields, sublight, Hyperdrive and Beam Transporters, I think my assistance is needed." He said.
"…Request permission to come on board, sir." Mitchell said, over the radio to the Odyssey.
"Permission Granted, the left docking bay is out of commission, Colonel." Emerson replied.
"Got it." Mitchell said with a sigh, as he leaned his head back, before he flew towards the Odyssey.
Carter looked up when she saw a thin and sleek vessel stopped near her. The Normandy SR-2 stopped a few dozen meters from Carter, before the shuttle bay of the opened up and turned. Carter drifted towards the vessel, using precise air bursts towards the ship and entered the SR-2's shuttle bay. When she entered the trench, the shuttle bay closed up and the gravity returned, causing Carter to fall to the ground.
She stood up and looked around, noticing two vehicles attached to the ceiling. Carter reached up and took her helmet off, and took in a breath of air. She moved up off the ramp of the Shuttle Bay and looked at the elevator, to see it opened up.
Carter looked at the holographic controls of the elevator in confusion, before she touched it, not really sure how to work it. The elevator doors sealed shut and the elevator moved up on level, to the Engineering deck.
When the deck opened up, she gasped and stepped back. There were dozens of human-sized bipedal insects with chitinous exoskeletons. They had two anterior pairs of what appear to be vestigial limbs, four glowing eyes, and a distinct, large, tapering heads along with fully developed wings.
The Collector Drones, Captains, Assassins and Guardians turned and faced Carter, as some of their wings flapped. They all leveled their weapons at the blonde woman, before she stepped back and bumped into the holographic button, causing the elevator door to close up and the elevator rose again.
The Elevator stopped at the Combat Information Center, before the doors opened up. Carter sighed in relief when she didn't see any of the bug aliens in front of her. She took a few steps forward and saw an in-depth holographic form of the Galaxy, and a lot of empty stations where people were supposed to be.
Carter stepped around the Galaxy Map and looked down the long corridor that led to the bridge of the ship. She looked around, before she walked forward in her Space Suit.
She arrived and saw a familiar grey haired young man wearing round rimmed glasses. Kabuto reached up and pushed his glasses up. "So Dorothy's finally walked down the yellow brick road." He said in a British accent.
Carter frowned and looked away, as Kabuto looked towards her. "Thank you, for saving me." She said with narrowed eyes.
"Oh no problem. It's not like I just got done adjusting to my bio-augmentations, and woke up from my coma about an hour ago. Found out the Ori are already in the Galaxy and half of the fleet I brought here was eliminated." Kabuto said dryly. "But your snarky, forced out 'Thanks' and the suspicion you're throwing at me, makes it all better!" He said sarcastically, as he glared forward and took control of the ship.
Carter glanced down, as she felt the vessel she was on move. "Harbinger, have you calculated the trajectory of the hyperspace vectors the last Ori ship went on?" Kabuto asked, as the Normandy flew towards the Odyssey.
"Yes, it would seem it is heading to a Jaffa Controlled Planet. Shall I follow and engage the organics?" Harbinger replied, as his holographic visage formed on the Ship's VI holographic projection.
"No, we'll deal with this matter accordingly." Kabuto said with a frown, as he thought to himself.
"From what I can infer, the Ori are going to go on a religious crusade in an attempt to convert the Galaxy to their rule…I suggest we send half of our Reaper forces into their galaxy and eliminate them, before they fully eliminate us. It is obvious with the outcome of this battle their weapon capabilities are more advance then the defenses this Galaxy possesses." Nazara said, as his red reaper holographic form appeared next to Harbinger's golden one.
"It's not my fault no one tries to upgrade their shields." Kabuto said with a frown, as he searched through the data the CCS-Battlecruiser, three Paris Heavy Frigates and two Reaper destroyers that were destroyed. "…Well, half of our fleet's destruction isn't in vain. In the fractions of seconds they had as they were destroyed, they transmitted data into the link about the energy frequency their weapons are on. It's not perfect or complete, but the shields can be calibrated to reflect a wide spectrum of energy." He stated to himself.
"But you are asking to send almost nine thousand Reapers and fifty thousand Reaper Destroyers to another Galaxy to deal with the Ori, in their home domain, where, while we outnumbered them, we both still lost half of our forces, even after dealing with the conjoined fleet of the Tau'ri, Jaffa and Asgard. I really don't want to stretch out our forces, when we need to set up a very, very fortified defense against the Ori." Kabuto said, as he imputed data from the destroyed ship into his shields. Carter looked between Kabuto and the two holograms.
"With our shields tuned to the right frequency, our vessels will be more effective against the Ori. If we don't strike fear into this ignorant organics, they'll only attack with a larger force!" Harbinger announced.
"…They'll attack either way, they're religious. To live in fear would mean you're rational and recognize a larger force…When have major religious people ever been rational." Kabuto said dryly, before he picked up an open transmission. He joined it, with two different screes formed on the view screen of the Normandy.
"This is Colonel Emerson of the Earth ship Odyssey." A man said, forming a channel from the BC-304.
"I am Netan, leader of the Lucian Alliance. You should surrender your ship to our control immediately." Another man said, from the last remaining Ha'tak that survived the Ori Assault.
"And I'm Kabuto, the creator of the Replicators and the Reapers." Kabuto interjected dryly, as he pushed his glasses up.
"Hi!" a female announced, as another screen formed up with Yang joining in. She looked at Kabuto nervously. "Hehe-I can explain." She said.
"Why should I let you leave this space, if you did create the Replicators?" Netan asked with narrowed eyes.
Kabuto tilted his head. "Last I counted, I have Two Reapers, a Reaper Destroyer, one of my CCS-Battlecruisers and…that giant as thing…" He said, motioning to the CAS-Assault Carrier. "…and you have a, let's see…" He said, as he held his hand up and touched the sensors, and then to Ha'tak. "…One Ha'tak with a damaged life-support, twenty six percent shields, almost half of your decks are decimated, Hmm, a third of your weapons are disabled, Hyperdrive is gone and oh, large amounts of hull damage." Kabuto said with a nod. "You have some tenacity but give the Devil his due. I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul because I think I'm better than you." He said with a devilish smirk. Netan scowled and glared, before the transmission dissipated.
"Sam, are you alright?" Mitchell questioned, as he looked at the transmission.
"Relatively, do you have news on Teal'c?" She asked.
"I think he's been captured by the Lucian Alliance." Mitchell admitted.
"What's the Lucian Alliance?" Kabuto questioned.
"…You don't know?" Mitchell asked unsure.
"I'm sorry, but for the past year or so in a coma. So forgive me for my ignorance." He said with a scowl.
"They're former enslaved people of the Goa'uld who hijacked all those ships the Replicators left." Yang informed. "They're kind a so-so group, some are asses and some are okay." She admitted.
"Thank you for the information." Kabuto said, before he looked at Carter.
"Can you beam me aboard, yet?" Carter asked, causing Mitchell to glance at the console.
"Not from what I can tell." He admitted.
"Eh, I'll just translocate you over there." Kabuto said uncaringly, as he typed in the hologram.
"The shields are still up, as weak as they are, she'll only…" Mitchell began, before Carter was enveloped in a golden light with similarly colored rings, which vanished and formed in the bridge of the Odyssey, with the blonde Colonel forming. "…What the hell?" He asked unsure.
"I said Translocate not Teleport." Kabuto said with an eye roll, before he scanned the Lucian Ha'tak. "…Heads up." He said, before another golden light with glowing rings around it formed in the bridge of the Odyssey. It dissipated and a tied up Teal'c d appeared, and was panting. "You can thank me later." He said dryly, before he looked at Yang.
Yang was looking away. "What?" She asked.
"If you needed help, you could've woken me up." Kabuto said with annoyance.
"I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself." Yang said with an eye roll.
"Yeah, funny thing about taking care of yourself, until you can't." He said sarcastically. "And why did you take a frigate?" He asked.
"…Um well…" Yang said unsure, as she glanced away nervously.
"I mean, you can use almost any ship in the fleet, even the Infinity. Why didn't you use that one, instead of one of your weakest ship?" He asked.
"I could?" Yang asked with wide eyes and a grin.
"Ah, yeah, you're the one who wanted all that shit." Kabuto said uncaringly.
Yang rubbed her hands together and giggled manically, before her vessel pointed towards the edge of the Galaxy. "I am going to need a lot of yellow paint." She said with a grin, before the frigate entered Hyperspace.
"I have tracked the Ori vessel's Hyperspace Vector, Father." Harbinger informed.
Kabuto nodded, before he looked at the channel he had with the Odyssey. "I would offer to send a few Replicators or Prometheans to help with your vessel's repair, but I doubt you'd trust that." He said dryly, as he looked at Harbinger and Nazara. "Send me to vector, while you two and the Assault Carrier back to The Ark." He said seriously. "Have the Battlecruiser and Reaper Destroyer here until the SGC's ship gets repaired. I need to maximize stealth." He stated.
The two holographic forms of the Reapers dissipated, before they slowly turned around and entered Slipspace. The massive Covenant Assault Carrier turned with deceptively high speeds, before it entered a Slipspace Rupture and vanished.
Mitchell and Carter stumbled, as the BC-304 swerved when the Reaper Destroyer landed on it and aimed its main cannon at the Lucian Ha'tak, with the CCS-Battlecruiser was a few dozen kilometers above the Odyssey.
The SR-2 Normandy turned and its Antiproton thrusters moved around, and spread out and illuminated brightly. The vessel drifted for a few seconds, before it vanished in a loud bang and a flash, as it entered FTL.
Half an hour later, at the edge of a solar system which had two stars. The sleek and reflective Normandy dropped out of FTL, which seemed to vanish in a cloak, with its heat being contained and cooled, for maximum stealth. The Normandy flew towards Chulak, which had two Ori Warships in orbit and one descending to the ground.
Kabuto looked out the window of the bridge and stood up, before he headed to the Captains Deck. He took a few steps forward and fell to his knees and held his chest, when he felt that same power earlier hit him. He shuddered a bit, before he pushed his glasses up and wiped his face of his sweat.
The grey haired sorcerer looked in his cabin and opened a large closet filled with lots of cloths. "If whatever is on that ship, whatever is giving off that kind of power level, I obviously cannot kill it conventionally. I'll have to learn its weakness. The Ori are mega religious beings and pose as Gods, well, what's a God, without a Devil." Kabuto said with a smirk, as he pulled out a black cloak and a white mask.
A few minutes later, a swirling vortex formed power generator of the Ori Warship landed on the ground. Kabuto formed with his Mangekyō Sharingan eyes turning dark green. While crouching, Kabuto silently moved through the vessel, using his Shinobi skills to remain silent. He eventually came across a lone Ori guard, before he snuck up behind him.
Kabuto crept up behind him and wrapped an arm around the man's neck and pulled him into a headlock, before he put his other hand around the man's mouth, to make sure he didn't make a noise. After a few seconds, the guard fell unconscious.
When the Ori guard was unconscious, Kabuto took off the guard's uniform and weapons. The unconscious guard was Kamui'd away. The grey haired sorcerer looked around, before he put the Ori armor on. He put the Ori stun weapon on his wrist and picked up the Ori Staff Weapon.
Kabuto looked around, before he reached up and took his glasses up, and then put them in a safe place. He picked up the silver styled helmet and put it on, before he moved through the Ori Warship, searching for the power that was on the vessel. As he walked, he pulled out he book that was in a satchel on the armor's hip. He activated his Sharingan and began to read the book at a faster speed then he would've normally read.
As he read from the Book of Origin, he passed several servants, along with a black haired woman who wore blue robes, who had an armored guard following her, with the two quickly moving through the corridors. Kabuto didn't spare them a glance, as he walked through the corridors of the Ori vessel.
After a few steps, the ground violently shook, causing Kabuto stop and glance down and a bit to the side. A loud, deafening horn echoed, followed by a high-pitched whirling. 'Nazara.' He thought, as he continued forward.
In the Orici's chambers, Daniel and a wounded Vala stood over an unconscious girl and an unconscious Ori warrior. Surrounding them was a ring of fire, before a bald Prior with a scared eye walked through it. Daniel leveled the Ori stunner at the man, only for it to short out.
Instinctively Daniel pulled out his pistol and leveled it at the unconscious girl. "No!" Vala yelled, but his pistol was pulled out of his hand telekinetically by the Prior, who smiled.
The group froze when a giant, loud, clunk echoed and the ground shook. A loud, deep, deafening horn shook the area, followed by a loud, high-pitched whirling. The ground shook again as a loud, clunk echoed.
The Prior, Daniel and Vala turned and looked out the window of the Orici's chamber. A few miles away was a giant…thing. It was colossus and was walking at five lower 'legs'. It had sparks of electricity cracking off its legs and lower armor. It lifted up its leg and stepped forward, shaking the ground and it was followed by a loud clunk sound. It gave off a loud, growling, robotic gibberish-like sound, as the Ori Fighters attacked it.
The fighters' attacks didn't seem to affect its shields, as it continued to step forward, shaking the ground with each step. As the Ori army collided with it, it gave off a very high-pitched whirling sounded, as a red light formed in between its two front legs, before the whirling was replaced with deep hum. The thing fired a thin beam of red light and dragged it along the ground, creating a multitude of explosions in its wake.
Daniel looked at it with wide eyes, recognizing the sound, the weapon and the creature. He looked down and saw himself give off a light, like he was about to be beamed, before he grabbed onto Vala and the two vanished.
The Prior frowned and looked at the Reaper, before he heard the sound of running. The fire ring around the room dimmed and he turned around.
"Noble Prior, there's…some kind of…demon outside!" A Male Ori Warrior said fearfully and unsure as he looked towards the Prior. "What do we do?" He asked.
The Prior turned around and put his free hand on the warrior's shoulder. "Have faith, I will see to this matter." He said seriously, as he walked out of the room, before he stopped and looked at the warrior. "Watch over the Orici." He added, before he left.
The Ori warrior looked around nervously, as he slowly stepped into the chambers and looked down at the unconscious girl, almost eleven or twelve years old. He nervously took a few steps forwards here and closed the door behind him, before his nervousness dissipated.
He reached up and took his helmet off, revealing messy ash grey hair. Kabuto squinted at the girl and he felt it again. He felt such power around the girl, but getting closer let him realize it wasn't coming from her per say. She had a lot of power within her, but it was enhanced, like the forces and energy of a Galaxy was focusing through her, enhancing her power.
Kabuto turned and looked out the window and saw Nazara decimating the Ori Troops, he looked down at the girl and held his hand up, forming sparks of electricity. He knelt down and turned her over, before he went to impale her through the chest.
Before the Chidori could impale her, Kabuto stopped and looked unsure. 'Come on?!' He thought angrily at himself, causing the glass in the window to crack. 'I've killed lots of people, this is just like that.' He thought, as he lowered the Chidori a few inches closer to her chest. '…But…they did deserve it…The Orici is something that was made by a copulation between an Ascended being and a human woman, and her presence just came out of nowhere on the ship. There was nothing before it, unless…' He contemplated, before he narrowed his eyes at the girl and noticed her hair was growing, despite at the slow rate it was growling at, it was faster by weeks.
'…Unless she's an enhanced human that was just born and is aging at a more rapid rate.' He thought, as he looked down unsure. 'I've killed a lot of people because they deserve it, but not because they were just at the wrong place or wrong time. And certainly not people who were just born…' Kabuto thought, as he lowered his hand and the Chidori dissipated.
A loud, deep horn sound, caused the girl's eyes to blink open, before she opened her eyes fully a looked up. She pushed her head back against the floor, as she noticed a man wearing the Ori armor, kneeling down next to her. Before she could see his face, he put the helmet back on.
"Noble Orici, I was worried." The Ori warrior said with relief in his voice.
"…I was shot in the back by one of our weapons. I'll be fine." She replied, before she began to sit up, only for the Ori warrior to hold a hand out to her and held her up. She looked around and noticed her mother was gone, causing her to look down.
"Are you alright, Orici?" The warrior asked with some concern, as he looked down towards her.
"I am fine." She replied, before she looked out the window and saw the Reaper fire off a thin beam of red energy at the ground.
"Who are you?" The bald Prior questioned, as he stood amongst the dozens of corpses of the Ori warriors.
"I? I am a monument to all your sins!" A male voice announced, as cloaked figure stood in front of the Reaper. The black cloaked figure wore a white mask. The mask had a nose that was almost half a foot long, shaped like a beak. It looked like a Plague Doctor's Mask.
The Prior narrowed his eyes, before he tapped his staff against the ground, sending a torrent of fire towards the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure held his hand up and the fire seemed to split as it reached him, hitting the areas at his side.
The Prior seemed a bit surprised, before the figure tilted his head. "Amateur Hocus-Pocus, let the Devil show you how to use real fire…" He said, before a stream of black fire shot out of his eyes and flew towards the man. The Prior quickly projected a protective field around himself.
The black fires collided with the field and began to coagulate around it, forming a large cocoon of black fire around the energy field. The Prior frowned, before he saw a white dot poke through the black fire, and felt the air become ice cold, with frost forming along the ground.
Out of the black fires, the porcelain white Plague Doctor Mask seemed to form out of the black fire and walk haplessly through the energy field. The Prior stared into the blood red eyes, with trinity-like symbols for each pupil.
"Tell me Prior, in that little book you got, is there any mention of me?" The cloaked figure asked, as he slowly reached out and lightly put his hand on the man's chest. "The Advisory? The Astray? The Distant? The Deceiver? The Web-Weaver? The Sssserpent?" He asked with a hiss.
"A Devil…" The Prior muttered to himself.
"The!" He corrected. "This is my place, my territory, my grounds…if you want to convert these people and save them…You'll have trouble facing against my demons…Spread the word. The Devil is looking for a few souls to steal." He announced, as he vanished in a vortex, when he was gone the black fire dissipated. The Reaper released a loud horn-like sound, before it took off into space.
The Prior panted a bit, but made sure to keep his composer. He frowned and held the Book of Origin in his hand.
On the Ori Warship, an armored Ori warrior held a tray of food and handed it to a young girl, who seemed a bit depressed.
"Is there…something wrong, Orici?" The warrior asked, as he lowered his head a bit.
She turned and looked out the window. "...Have you ever had your mother abandon you?" She asked unsure. She looked at the Ori warrior to see his shoulders drop and look down.
"…In a manner of speaking." He said with a sigh to himself.
She nodded to herself. "I will have to fix mothers." The child muttered, before she looked at the Ori warrior. "How did you deal with this problem?" She questioned curiously.
"Well, I doubt we share the same problem, Orici. You're you. Any mother would be overjoyed to have you." The Ori warrior said, tilting his head a bit. "I on the other hand…" He trailed off, before he shrugged and pushed the tray of food towards the girl. "…You have to eat." He insisted.
She looked down at the food and slowly nodded. With her being aged rapidly, she needed more energy for her body to keep up. "…Does it usually hurt?" She asked.
"Do you hurt, Orici?" The Ori warrior questioned as he looked around. "I could look for some…" He began.
"No…I mean, does it usually hurt when your mother leaves you?" She asked curiously.
The warrior glanced down, before he shrugged. "It depends if you loved your mother or not. Mine loathed me, called me cursed and cast me into the darkness…" He said, causing the girl to tilt her head and narrow her eyes at him in concentration. "…It was only because of a follower of the faith that I was able to be saved." He admitted. The girl looked at him curiously. She didn't 'sense' any deception in his words. "But like I said, any mother would be joyous to have birthed you, Orici." He informed, before he looked at the unconscious warrior on the floor. "Shall I get him out of here, Orici?" He asked curiously.
She looked down at the unconscious man, before she shook her head. "He will awaken in seven minutes." She replied. She watched as the warrior pace in front of the mirror, holding an Ori staff weapon. "What are you doing?" She asked curiously.
"This is a vantage point, some form of enemy could easily get in through here and make an attempt on your life, from the ceiling, from the floor, a toxin in the air. There are so many ways I can think of, about someone trying to harm the Orici." He admitted, as he paced around.
The girl narrowed her eyes a bit, before she put her hands neatly in her lap and stared at the armored warrior. "You are only protecting me because I am the Orici?" She asked. "I don't need protection." She said with narrowed eyes.
The Ori Warrior stopped and turned to look at her, before he titled his head a bit and tapped the end of the staff against the ground. "To be honest, Orici. The reason I am protecting you is because you're the Orici. But, I'm not protecting you just because you're the Orici. Even if you weren't, I would protect you the same way as I am now." He said, before he began to pace again. The girl blinked a few times, before she looked down with a slight blush on her face, before it vanished.
"And I've heard tales about the magic and miracles you possess. I know you don't need my protection, Orici. But that's no reason to leave you unguarded." He said seriously. "The Galaxy is filled with treacherous parasites, you can never be too careful, Orici." He said.
"Adira." She said quietly.
"What?" He asked unsure.
"That's my name." She informed.
"…Kabuto." He replied.
She tilted her head and looked at him curiously. "That is a unique dialect." Adira commented, with her brown eyes studying him in curiosity.
"It means helmet…" He said, as he tapped the side of his head, touching the metal helmet. "…I thought best not to think too much about it." He admitted with a sigh to himself.
The door to the chamber opened up, as the Prior entered the room. He took a few steps into the room, before he looked at the Ori warrior. "Leave us." He instructed, causing the warrior to nod his head a bit and step towards the door.
"He doesn't need to leave." Adira said, causing the warrior to stop, while the Prior looked at her unsure. "My abilities have yet to fully mature and the knowledge the Ori have blessed me with, has yet to completely unfold…I will need someone to watch over me, before my development if complete." She said, causing the Prior to nod.
Kabuto moved over and stood by Adira, as the young girl sat in her bed. "There's something I need to discuss with you, Orici." The Prior informed. "It concerns a new advisory." He stated, causing the young girl to look up at him with narrowed eyes.
The grey haired sorcerer, disguised as an Ori Warrior kept a straight face. He glanced at Adira. He was just planning on using Nazara and his clone as a distraction, to get the Prior away from what was protection the being with the immense power. If he couldn't find an opening to kill it, he'd insert himself in a position near it to learn its weaknesses.
'Now I'm the personal guard of it…who seems to trust me.' He thought to himself and sighed quietly. He was going to be there for a while.
