Ch. 7Zero walked through the shimmering pool of the Gate and was suddenly in a swirling tunnel that was like using a trans server, but different. The tunnel abruptly stopped and he was on a platform of carved rock. The platform was surrounded by thick jungle and there was a well kept rock road going straight from the platform and into the distance.
The rest of SG1 came out of the Gate and Zero was barely able to dodge Daniel as he came out.
"That was new." Zero remarked.
"Yeah we get that a lot from newbies." Jack responded.
"Let's get going, sir." Sam suggested.
They started walking down the road and Sam explained exactly how the Gate works. Zero didn't understand most of it, but it sounded similar to how the trans server worked.
After about an hour they came to a large city that had Aztec architecture. At the entrance there were two guards armed with obsidian tipped spears and bronze swords. The group stopped at the guards.
"Hola! Quien esta?" One of the guards asked with a big smile.
"Why are they speaking in Spanish?" Sam asked Daniel. "I thought Aztec's spoke Aztec."
Daniel just gave her a look that said "I don't know."
(A/N I'm just going to translate everything to English and surround Spanish with these >)
Zero walked up and said :Hello we're from a planet called Earth. We're members of a group called SG1. I'm Zero and they're Jack, Sam, T'ealc, and Daniel> He pointed to everyone as he introduced them.
"Since when do you know Spanish?" Jack asked Zero.
"I'm part robot, it shouldn't surprise you."
"Oh yeah."
The guard tapped Zero on the shoulder. Our God will want to see you, follow me.>
"What'd he say?" Jack asked.
"He says that their God will want to meet us" Zero answered.
They followed the guard inside of the city and he brought them to a small pyramid shaped temple. There were four Jafa guards in bronze colored armor. When they noticed the Zero and the others they opened fire. Everyone jumped behind a corner of a building, but the guards were both hit and killed.
"What the hell!" Zero asked them.
"We need to get back to the gate." Jack told him.
"I believe that that goes without saying, O'Neill." T'ealc responded.
Just then the Jafa rounded the corner. Zero shot all of them in the head in less than a second with his buster.
"They probably called for help already didn't they?" Zero asked rhetorically.
An alarm sounded from inside the pyramid.
"I hate being right." Zero said with a sigh.
They all made a break for it. When they reached the city gates Jafa started streaming out of the temple. They all ran into the Jungle, hoping to get some cover. After running for a few minutes they saw a Gou'auld shuttle fly towards the Star Gate.
"Three guesses as to what they're doing." Daniel said to everyone else.
"I think we lost them." Sam said catching her breath.
"Yeah, I don't see anyone in our general area." Zero said checking the area.
"Let's keep going." Jack ordered.
They walked along for another hour and a half, moving slower than before because of the jungle growth.
Zero stopped, looked around and started walking to the left of the direction they were going.
"Where're ya going?" Jack asked him.
"The Gate's this way." Zero said gesturing in the direction he was walking.
"How do you know?" Jack asked him, but he realized the answer an instant later, "Oh right part robot."
They all followed the reploid for about ten minutes until they came to where they could all see the platform. There were only about ten Jafa around the Gate, but there were three turrets and some kind of mechanized walker. The ship that brought them was parked a little ways up the road from them and had a large cannon mounted on top of it.
"You ever get the feeling you're not wanted?" Jack asked.
"Stay here." Zero told them, moving off into the Jungle again.
"Where are you going?" Jack tried to ask him, but Zero was already gone.
Zero walked around to behind the Gate and shot one of the Jafa in the back. He then dashed through the jungle until he was across from the shuttle. While all of the Jafa were turned away and were searching the area of the Jungle where he had shot from, Zero slipped into the shuttle through the still open hatch. Idiots, never leave your ship open in a combat situation.
The pilot was still in his seat and looked more than a little bored. Under his breath he was singing some kind of Jafa song that had a tune suspiciously close to jingle bells. Zero sneaked up quietly and snapped his neck.
"Okaaay. Let's see. How do you work this thing?" Zero mused, sitting down in the pilot's seat.
Zero tapped a button and a screen came up with what looked like cross hairs in the center. There were five buttons on a panel below the screen. They were arranged to form a cross.
Zero pressed the top button and the screen panned up. He pushed the bottom one and it panned down onto the road in front of the ship. He pushed the buttons on the sides and the screen moved in each button's direction. Zero centered the cross hairs in the middle of the group of Jafa. He thought for a moment and then got up, walked over to the hatch and pushed a button next to it. The hatch snapped shut.
"There. Now they can't shoot me when if I'm right about this." Zero said to himself.
The reploid sat back down and pushed the center button. The top cannon fired and the explosion sent several Jafa flying and incinerated two of them unlucky enough to be standing where the cannon was aimed. Zero pushed the button again but nothing happened.
"What the?" he asked to no one as he scanned the screen and found a little red bar that was slowly going down. "Dammit, that must be the cool-down indicator."
Little pings could be heard on the hatch. Zero checked the screen and the surviving Jafa were firing on the ship. Zero was scrambling to find the flight controls when a rather large blast rocked the ship. Zero looked at the screen again and the mech was now firing on the ship too. The red bar was still there.
"Crap!"
Jack and the rest of SG1 were watching from their vantage point and saw that Zero was in trouble.
"Come on." Jack said to them. They all got up and moved in to attack.
They opened fired and took out the rest of the Jafa. The mech simply destroyed the cannon and started turning towards the new threat. The mobilized monstrosity was turning very slowly and had two rather large cannons mounted on its 'head'. Everyone opened up on the mech, but their shots didn't even scratch the armor. They all ran behind it to relative safety.
Zero watched all of this on the screen.
I've gotta help them. Zero thought to himself. He ran to the hatch and pushed the button to open the hatch, but it only opened a sliver and got stuck due to huge dents from the mech's fire. Zero simply took out his saber and started cutting a wider opening in the door, but the going was slow.
The mech's pilot decided it wasn't a good idea to just keep turning and started walking backwards. It was surprisingly fast in a straight line and quickly got SG1 in its sights. They were barely able to get out of the way in time.
Zero was able to cut enough out of the hatch to squeeze through. He ran to the mech and tried to cut one of its legs off, but his sword just bounced off.
"Sam!" Zero shouted to his team member.
"Yeah?" She shouted back.
"Can you fly that thing?" Zero answered pointing to the ship.
"I'll try. Cover me!" She said running for the ship.
The pilot of the mech opened fire on Sam as soon as he saw her, but Zero put himself in the way of the blasts and covered himself with his shield. Zero was sent flying into the ship, but the shots were reflected back into the mech and it was almost knocked over. It took Zero a moment to get back up and looked at his handiwork; the mech had several large pits in its armor.
"A bit painful, but it gets the job done." Zero muttered to himself.
Sam had managed to get into the ship and was searching for the flight controls. After several moments she found them, but the ship had to power up first.
The battle outside had progressed to an even match. The enemy pilot was focusing on Zero now and Jack, T'ealc, and Daniel were hanging back. Zero was dodging the blasts, but was having difficulty and he didn't want to use his shield too much after what happened last time. T'ealc was using his staff weapon to try and find weaknesses in the armor.
Sam finally got the ship fully up and running and lifted a few feet off of the ground.
"Zero I've got the ship working, what do you have planned?" she asked through the radio.
"Smash it into the mech!" Zero shouted into his own radio. "Shit!" he had to put his shield up to block a blast and was sent flying into a nearby tree, severing it at the trunk. The tree fell and almost hit Daniel, who had to jump away to avoid it. Zero was having trouble getting up.
Sam swung the ship around and smashed it into the main body of the enemy. The mech was crushed and utterly destroyed. Sam pulled in the opposite direction to keep from hitting the Gate and cut the engines. The ship skidded on the ground until it came to a stop.
Sam squeezed back out of the ship and ran to the rest of her team.
"Where's Zero?" she asked looking around.
They all ran to where Zero was struggling to get up. He had numerous lacerations on his body, his leg was swollen and a small trickle of synthetic blood was dripping from his nose.
"You, okay?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Zero said trying to get up but falling over again. "Or maybe not."
"Come on." Jack said helping Zero up and over to the Gate. "Daniel, dial us home."
Zero's body felt like a single throbbing mass of solidified pain. As Daniel started inputting the Gate code for home, Zero's body started to numb itself so that it could begin repairs. Sam transmitted the Iris code and a moment later they all went through the Gate and went home.
