Hello, again. Thanks for all the reviews, guys...I really appreaciated it! I am sorry the upcoming chapter took so long to get up, but I got a bit busy with school and the likes. Anyways, enough yammering! On with the story!
Chapter 6) Kolya and an Unusual Rescue
Colonel Sheppard headed inside the jumper where the rest of the team was waiting. He sat down, and asked Ronan,
"Have you ever flown somethingbefore?"
"No. I have been inside wraith ships, but have not managed to fly them. I know a few kids who can fly them, though and who aren't the wraith." Sheppard and the others were interested.
"Who are these others?" Telya asked him.
"One teenager girl, whose name is Zalena, the other is a teenager boy named Randon. They both live on a planet called Harlings." (Ok, I know its a weird name for a planet, but it was all I could think of. Now, back withstory.)
Sheppard flew theship into the gate, and they came outontoanother planet. He noticed thatthere were people down below him where he had flown in suddenly.
"Looks like we've got company." Sheppard noted out loud. Telyaand Ronan nodded. Suddenly, Sheppard felt something hit the ship as itshook.
"What the-what was that!"Sheppard asked, franticly trying to gain his bearings on thejumper. Theship shook again, and then itturned into a nose dive for the ground.
"Hang on!" They hung on, and a few minutes later, they hit the ground. The last thing Sheppardsawwas the local villagers coming out to great them.
In the forest where Rodney and Ford are.
McKay woke again to daylight, and the first thing he noticed that he wasn't in Atlantis like he hoped he was. He also noticed that his wrist was killing him. Rodney knew that his wrist was broken, and that he had to set it soon. He looked around for Ford, and noticed that he wasn't there. He quickly set his wrist, and hissed in pain while he was doing so.
"Hey, McKay." Rodney jumped, and yelped as his wrist set. He turned to see Ford behind him, with a gun at his side. Ford grinned, as he saw Rodney jump.
"Sorry, Rodney. Look, I thought I heard something crash near the gate. I think it was a ship, but we need to go check it out to be sure. Why don't we go out there, after we clean up camp?" Rodney hesitated. He knew that if it was a ship it could be a jumper with the Colonel, and Telya. But he knew that they really had to check to be sure.
Rodney nodded, and Ford went forward. Rodney protected his wrist as much as possible without letting Ford see why he was so jumpy...besides the fact that it was Ford.
After they 'cleaned up' the camp, they headed out to the gate. About a quarter of a mile before they reached it, Ford stopped him.
"From this point on, we need to be quiet and careful. Who knows who it could be out there?" Rodney nodded, and kept quiet as he had been throughtout that morning. They crept closer to the gate, and when they saw it visible, they saw that it was a jumper. They also both saw someone they wouldn't like to meet again in a long time.
Kolya.
Kolya was standing over three people who were tied and unconcious. Rodney thought he recognized them, but he couldn't see them from where he was hiding. Ford turned to Rodney.
"It's Sheppard, Telya, and that Dex guy. We've gotta rescue them before Kolya attempts to use them to regain control of Atlantis again." McKay was astonished at Ford's sudden change of heart, but he knew he was right.
"We'll do a trade." Rodney spoke quietly. "You could pretend that you left Atlantis and trade me for them. I'm worth to them more, than Sheppard and the others anyway." Ford looked at him, and then grinned.
"You catch on quick, McKay. And I think I have a plan."
Hee. I am leaving a cliffhanger here, because I need to be posting other stories also. I will continue more later, when I get the spare time. Reviews, please people!
