Gaien Travelers
By Ed

I got bored one day and this is the result. Meiko is based on me. And its not finished yet : (

DISCLAIMER Unfortunetly the gundam guys dont belong to me. : ' ( WAH: ' (

The heat sored down on the barron meteor struck planet. Earth had changed. From that beautiful planet to a desert waste land, when the gate blew up, taking the moon with it. About twenty years ago. Only the brave people visited or stayed there. Pieces of the moon struck daily in random places. Only one area had never been hit. An area of archelogy importance. The area where an earth quake broke away rock which resulted in the discovery of a circular structure, with lots of strange unknown, yet amazing symbols on it. Only a few had ever studyed it. One of them was a beautiful, ex-bounty hunter called Meiko Yuy, she was 16 and had a terrible secret which inspired to research this structure. She beleived that it was a gate of some sort used by people that lived long ago. No one beleived her not until one day, some thing happend that would change the lives of all the people that lived on two different planets, that were both called Earth.
It started a few months ago, in the summer cycle. It wasnt a normal day. As soon as Meiko got up extraordnary things happend. Firstly she had an email, which was amazing because she knew very little people. Secondly an earthquake struck. An earthquake hadn't been so intence scince when the structure was descoverd five years ago. But this was an earthquake with a difference. A few seconds after a loud Whooshing could be heard it only lasted a few seconds and it most obviously had to have come from outside. Meiko ran out of the house. She thought that some one was trying to take the structure or that a meteor had struck some where near. She couldnt have been more wrong in her life.
The structure had a blue jelly like pool of something, in the middle. Meiko watched silently. Some thing was coming through it. It was a sort of veichle, it looked heavily loaded. Following it were four peolpe who looked Human. One female and three males, they were all wearing green. A male had a sort of snake like tattoo on his head. They looked like they were part of a military organisation as they neared it was clear they had weapons. Two of the males and the female had guns of some sort. And the male with the tattoo had a staff of some sort.
"Hello!" shouted one of the males removing his hat. "Looks like theres no one home"
The male with the tattoo said "Mabey their inside," in a monotone type voice.
They procided to advance on Meiko's position. Until when they were a few meters away a small dog ran out at them. Now she had to reveal herself to them if only to save the life of the dog.
"Ein, you silly dog," she said revealing her self. Automaticly the dog ran to her. She picked it up. "Ein, go in the house, okay?" Ein barked and ran into the house. "Who are you?" Meiko asked turning to the Humans.
The male that had removed his hat before answerd "I am Cornel O'neill, this is Major Carter," he pointed to the female she had short blonde hair. "Jonas Quinn" pointing the other male with out the tattoo. "and this is Teal'c" pointing to the male with the tattoo. "We are all part of a team called SG1. So who are you?" turning his attention back to Meiko.
"Erm..." Meiko didn't know what to say "My name is Meiko, Meiko Yuy. It's a pleasure to meet you"
"Isn't it a Japanese name?" asked Jonas.
"No," Meiko felt quite insulted. What was this Japanese. Was it foreign? "It's Gaien," Meiko blushed she rememberd no one knew gaien. To the fact no even rememberd the race that was wiped out when the Ancients had caught an evil virus that destroyed their reproduction facilitys. As far as the people on Earth or people any where in the system the gaien people were unlucky things that had to be avoided at all costs. If you even talked to one then you were cursed for all eternity in this life and next and the one after that. Meiko turned she started back to the house.
Then again Jonas said something. Something quite amazing. Something no one had ever said to Meiko in her life. "Im sorry, i didn't mean to upset you. To us that would have been a sort of compliment." The rest of the group and Mieiko looked at him.
"I guess now i've told you your going to run away, like the storey goes, my kind are cursed," she smirked to herself. "Not to be trusetd and to be avoided at all costs." She turned and went inside. She didn't expect the humans to follow though.
"We dont care about storeys," said Major Carter.
Meiko went to the kitchen and poured a glass of Oj. "What do you want then?" She drank.
Teal'c spoke it was the first time that he'd spoke. He voice was cold, uncaring and evil but even then he seemed to be on the side of truth and justice. "We are in search of the Ancients."
Meiko drpped her glass at the word Ancients but she didn't care now. "What world are you from?" she enquired.
O'neill answerd this time. "We are from Earth."
Meiko let out a loud laugh. "You are defently not from Earth!"
"How would you know anyway?" That wasnt what O'neill was exspecting to hear.
"I mean you can't be. You're defently not from here! This planet this, horrible, barron, wasteland is Earth"
The look on the Humans faces were to die for. They looked at each other and then looked at Meiko.
Only Carter had the courage to ask "What year is this?"
"Why what do you mean. It's After Coloney 195. Is that good or bad?"
"Erm...," they said together.
"You don't know do you?" said Meiko. "Why don't you go back to where you came from. There are no Ancients here...They were all wiped out."
Jonas managed to at last catch his tounge. "No ofence," he paused and leant against a wall. "But how?"
"I'm not at liberty to say so but let's just say only their children are left. And your not going to find them!" She smiled. "I can almost garentee it"
"Almost... So there is a chance" said Carter. "So would these children have a different name to the Ancients?"
"Of course. Their called Gaiens because their from Gaiea." Meiko didn't care, sooner or later these humans would fingure things out but a part of her knew that she would be taken and put on display as the last of her kind in some kind of zoo.
"So your name is Gaien?" said Carter.
"Yes. And i suppose you want to take me through the ancients circle..." shouted Meiko. The humans stayed silent. "Ha, well you can't the Kallastone is missing." She stuck her tounge out.
Sam looked around. "We call it a D.H.D a dial home devise. We have technology that can gate the gate working!"
"But only with a Kallastone can a person get to Gaiea," replied Meiko. "And only a Gaien open the gate to Gaiea!"
"So then..." started O'neill but he was then cut off by Jonas.
"You said you were Gaien didn't you?"
Meiko nodded. "Yes i am"
"I think you would like to return to Gaiea"
"Anywhere is better than here! But it is impossible." said Meiko dissapointedly.
"No it's not. We set up the DHD, i mean Kallastone allternite. Dial to our earth. Then we dial to a place that has a working Kallastone!"
The face that Meiko had on her face was a look of disbelife. She was godstruck. There was a possibilty that she would return home to Gaiea. She would go back to her brother Heero, Duo and her other friends. Now she didn't care about anything else but getting home. And unlike her she hadn't tested their loyalty or their power. She had a sort of feeling that she could trust them.
She packed her stuff and sent a Email to each of her four friends. All while the Humans set up the Kallastone. She then met them with Ein carying a small bag.
"So your ready?" asked Jonas.
"Yes, well i just have to do one thing then im ready," answerd Meiko. She then took a flute type instrument from her bag. She played a sad sornful melody on it. It sounded like the wind was crying but in the sound of a violin and a flute. The air tasted sweet but some how sour at the same time. Suddenly from all around the encampment a purple light shone upwards. Soon they were inside a purple dome. A few seconds later, it started to break down. Pieces from above fell down like glass and then vapourised. Soon the pieces that were abouve the house broke down and vapourised the house. Ein started howling a smilar tune to Meiko. The ground started to shake. Meiko stopped playing. We must get through the gate quickly. Without the sheild Meteors will hit soon." Ein stopped and jumped into Meikos arms.
They all moved to the gate. Tea'lc, Carter and O'neill went through first. When it was Meiko's turn to go through. She hesitaited. She had never been through the gate before.
Joans noticed she was scared. She took her hand and said "Don't worry, it doesn't take long. I'll be right here."
They walked through the gate together. And came out to a facinating world. Full of mechanical stuff. The gate was on a ramp facing windows. Surrounding the gate were soldiers with a variety weopons; Machine Guns, Staffs like Teal'c's and Guns. Ein jumped to the floor and suddenly Meiko fell to the floor. Something was wrong. Jonas knelt beside her. O'neill, Teal'c and Carter ran over.
"Get a doctor!" Shouted O'neill.
Jonas turned Meiko and felt her forehead she had a high fever and a sort of symbol glowed on her forehead. It was star like and glowed a deep firey red. Beautiful as it was it was painful to Meiko. Each time it faded, it made Meiko gasp in pain. It was like a thousend red-hot pokers driving into her skull. It went dark and the star gave one last glow of brilliant light and then turned a dark green.
The pain returned when she woke. She was surrounded by SG1, in a starge medical lab type room. She tried to rasie herself but the excrusiating pain made her stop and reach for her head. Jonas helped her back down. Somehow Jonas had either created a bond with her or he was madly in love with her. It was most defently the later. "Where am i?" she asked.
A lady with a military uniform and a white coat over it, strode over to the bed. She had brown curly hair. With a stephascope around her neck. "It's okay she siad, your in stargate commands medical centre. Im Doctor Frasier. You fainted when you reached our side of the stargate."
"My head hurts," Meiko said rubbing the mark on her head. It felt as though a red-hot poker was diving into her skull.
"Meiko, what do you remember when you came through the stargate?" said Jonas
"I remember voices. I dont know who's though." Ein jumped on the bed and started to lick her face. "Ein?!" Ein had begun to have the symbol on his head to. It glowed but unlike hers it didnt hurt.
The world went blurry as the sirens blared "Off world activation!" Sg1 looked at each other gave a slight nodd all but Jonas went. The others ran to the control centre. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Someone we don't know is trying to come here." Said Jonas. With that Meiko fainted. "Doctor!"
Fraiser ran over and gave her a quick but thorough check.
"Well?"
"She's slipped into a coma. Theres nothing i can do right now."
Jonas bent over and passonaly kissed her. He had wanted to that ever scince he laid eyes on her but he felt that there was no way that she'd ever feel the same way. The others were soon at the control centre. General Hammond was there. "Whats going on?" asked Carter.
A blonde man sitting at a computer said "We're getting an incoming wormhole from a eighth cheveron world!"
All the people that had heard him had a look on their face of either shock or fear. Shock, nothing had ever come here from an eighth cheveron world apart from the asgaurd but they came to earth in ships especially Thor. Fear, what was out there on the worlds that they hadnt been to. "Close the Iris NOW!" Shouted General Hammond.
The blonde man said again, "The Iris controls aren't working!"
Without thinking Oneill ran to a telephone. "Security to the embarkation room. Stat!"
A few seconds later the whol of the embarkation room was full of men and women with guns. Much like when Meiko had come through before. The guns were cocked ready to fire at what ever danger came through. And that danger happend to be a huge Mustang stallion with a similar symbol to Meiko on its forehead. The soldiers all relaxed only to be tense again as a tall clocked man holding a sythe, you couldnt see what he looked like and a Chinese boy about fithteen, he had a short black bunch of hair at the back. He looked like he had been through many wars in his short life. He held a sword. They moved down the ramp.
In the medical centre Meikos symbol was glowing a deep red. The Stallion was being drawn to it. Many soldiers were firing at it but it was like they were having firing practise at the surrounding walls. The bullets went straight through. Amazingly some people though a horse would pose a threat. Okay perhaps because it was huge and looked emensly powerful. It reached the Medical centre.
In the embarkation room. Strange things were happening. Strange things like Hammond hadn't given the order to fire. The chinese boy looked up to the control centre straight into Hammonds eyes and said "Return what you have taken from us!" Drawing his sword as if ready to take what ever they had stolen.
"What have we stolen from you?" asked Hammond.
Now the hooded person drew down its hood. It was a boy about the same age at the chinese boy. Large purple eyes and a long brown plat that had now slid down his back. "We want our princess back! Meiko Yuy!"
"Princess!?" said Onei'll.
"Yes princess, the princess of Gaiea. Return her to us."
"Er. Who are you first!" asked Hammond. He wouldn't be accused of stealing something that came to the command out of it's own free will.
It was the boy with the scythe that replied first. "I am zero two. Duo Maxwell."
Then the boy with the sword spoke up. "I am zero five. Wufei Chang."
"Your princess is here but we didnt kidnap her she cam to us a few days ago out of her own free will!" Said Hammond.
Onei'll, Teal'c and Carter lead them to the medical centre. But the horse had allready reached there. Jonas had been frozen to the spot where he stood. While the sallion had turned in to a sort of gas. Was it on a suicide mission to kill Meiko? or was it trying to help her? The gas went through her mouth and like a Guaold or a Tokra, it made her eye's glow gold for a few seconds. When her eyes glowed was the exact same moment that Onei'll, Teal'c, Carter, Duo and Wufei walked in. "Oh no a Guaold!" shouted Carter. An instant reaction would be to reach for their guns but like Jonas they to were frozen to the spot. All but Duo and Wufei. They walked towards her with glowing eyes like hers. They both reached up stretching their backs only for their shirts to rip as huge white wings grew from their backs. One by one they breathed into Meiko like trying to resusitate her. The gas now possesed her. She stood but with her senses shut like they had she reached up but first a sort of battle garment was satrting to appear on her. Three quater white pants, a white top that coverd her front. It fastend around her neck and around her waist. Then her wings grew. While the boy's wings were tatty and worn like they had been used in battle, Meiko's were very different. They were long, smooth and beautiful. They gave off a small glow which made them look even more majistic. Her hair too had now become a plat mush like Duo's but not as long though both were untidy with the odd bit coming out. She stood, the gas was coming out now. She began to regain consiousness. At the same time SG1 were able to move.
And the first thing said was "What the hell is going on?"
Duo had a huge grin on his face as the gas became a horse again. "We retreived our princess!" but then he saw the look on Meiko's face. "What's wrong," but even though she had just awakend from a coma she still had quick reflexes.
She grabed Duos plat "Baka!"
Jonas did a quick translation "Basicly she called him an idiot."
"What the hell are you doing here?" asked Meiko she obviously didn't want Duo here.
"Rescueing you your majasty" answerd Wufei.
"I had every thing under control!"
"Not from where im standing"
Meiko just smerked unlike a normal princess she didnt mind his rude behavior to royalty. "Then move down wind," she said pulling the plat one last time before letting it go.
"I guess the great Shinitami hasnt changed," said Duo rubbing his head.
"And Shigitami hasnt changed either." They both laughed.
Now SG1 were very confused. Who were they?
"And now for something more important," said Duo cleaning his hand on his pants and handing it to them. "Im Duo, i run, i hide but i never lie. Thats me in a nutshell. We thank you for finding our princess" he glanced at Meiko. Who gave him one of her deathglares. "Sheesh, okay okay. Thank you for finding Meiko." He pulled his tounge out at her. Only to recive another glare. "Is there anything we can do in return?"
SG1 looked at each other, Oneill spoke up "we would have to discuss it with our superiors. You can she them now."
Duo nodded and helped Meiko from off the bed. She turned to the horse and it walked over and nuzeld her. "Spirit?" She threw her arms around its neck and it turned into a gas again. On the floor the gas collected into a chain with a crystal attatched. She put it on and followed the others, towards the debreifing room.
Gerneral Hammond was there. After lots of apologising from Duo and Wufei about when they came through the gate. They sat down to a long table in the center of the room to disscus (as Wufei put it) payment. "If you want technology it depend on what it is and whats it for." Started Duo. "We gave a world technology to create mobile suits. Their whole world was plunged into war and nearly the whole of their world was destroyed."
"Life is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution will cary on forever" said Meiko without thinking. The Gaiens looked down, what Meiko had said was true and they had seen enough planets go through that.
