Here's another chapter! I don't know how many chapters are left, so keep looking for more until further notice.

Oh yeah, Rent comes out tomorrow:Does happy dance:

Muse/ViH: I will never understand humans.

Teal'c: Indeed.

Ignoring you both. So here's the story, and I don't own it.


"So what do we do?" Daniel asked.

Dante reached into a vest pocket and pulled out a pack of C-4. "We blow them back to hell," he growled.

"Shouldn't we wait for Sheppard to come back to decide that?" Ronon asked.

"Even if he says no I'm still blowing this lab," Dante said, walking over to a lone tank. He knelt down and stuck the C-4 to it.

"I don't think so," Ronon said.

"We need to see if we can study these beings. Learn more about them," Teyla added, casually holding her gun.

"Here's all you need to know about them: They're not suppose to exist," Dante said, placing another charge on a different tank. He was giving himself a wide berth from Teyla and Ronon.

"How do you know that?" Cameron asked.

"Because when the Alterans created the two serums, they made sure that vampire and lycan blood could never be combined. Before they did that they created a hybrid and it went crazy, nearly destroying Atlantis." He stood up and looked at them. "But it seems that the Wraith have now found a way around that."

"You mean these are Wraith vampire-lycan hybrids?" Cameron asked.

"Yeah."

"Those two charges won't destroy this lab," Teyla said. "C-4 is not that powerful to take out something this large."

"It is when they're attached to places that will cause secondary explosions. Not only that, but I had them laced with a trace amount of naquadah," Dante said.

"You can't be serious," Vala said.

Dante looked at her, his face a mask. "You never saw a person you care about get their throat ripped out by a Wraith vampire."

"We can't let you do this," Teyla said, raising her gun at Dante's back.

He turned his head, his brow raised. He moved in a blur and slammed Teyla against the wall, his hand gripping her throat as she hung in the air against the wall. He heard a clicking sound and turned just enough to see Ronon aiming his gun at Dante's head. Another gun cocked and Ronon saw that Sam had a pistol aimed at his head.

"What the hell?" John demanded, entering the room with Rodney. He reached for his gun. "Someone wanna tell me what's going on?"

"Dante here wants to blow this lab before the scientists can go through it," Ronon said. "Teyla and I disagreed."

"Put Teyla down Dante," John said.

"Not until Ronon backs away."

"Ronon, leave him be," John ordered.

"Then tell Carter here to do the same," Ronon returned.

"I'm not moving until Ronon drops his gun," Sam said.

"Stalemate," Daniel muttered.

Dante's eyes narrowed slightly. He took in a deep breath. He suddenly dropped Teyla to the ground, his pistol appearing in his hand as he whirled around. He fired off several shots and something howled in pain. He emptied the clip as he pulled another gun out. As he ejected the expired clip and loaded a new one, he continued his firing with the second gun. He rose to his feet and stopped firing, his senses on full alert.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked, having removed her gun from Ronon when Dante first moved.

"Something's down here," Dante whispered.

"You mean one of them got loose?" Daniel asked.

"Looks like," Dante confirmed, spotting a broken tank. "Everyone get out of here. You're no match for this thing."

"Neither are you," Sam said.

"Just get clear so I can blow this place up. I'll stay down here and keep it busy."

"So you can sacrifice yourself? I don't think so," Sam said.

"What the hell's going on?" Rodney demanded.

As Dante turned to answer him, he saw movement behind the Canadian. "Down!" he snapped, running at him. Rodney dropped to the ground and Dante leapt forward, sailing past him. He struck something large and was suddenly tackled to the center of the lab by the creature. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw it.

It was about seven to eight feet tall and covered in white fur. It had a blunt snout with vampire and Wraith teeth and had pure black eyes. Old blood stained part of the creature's snout. Long, black claws extended from its bony fingers and toes. It tried to claw and bite at Dante, who was having a hard time keeping the creature from his flesh.

"What the hell is that thing?" Ronon demanded.

"That would be a Wraith vampire-lycan hybrid," Sam said.

Dante kicked the hybrid off of himself and rolled to his feet, yanking his sword out of its sheath. "Get out of here now!" he screamed.

"I'm not leaving!" Sam returned, firing at the hybrid. Teal'c and Daniel followed her example. Cameron and Vala eventually joined in with the others.

The hybrid ignored the gunfire and charged Dante. The vampire could see that the creature was moving slower and said a silent prayer of thanks. As the creature closed the gap between them, Dante plunged his sword into its heart. The hybrid howled in pain, blood spurting from its mouth. Some of the creature's blood flew into Dante's mouth, who swallowed it by accident. Dante spat to one side, the black blood landing on the floor. He and the others watched as the creature's death throes became still.

"I'm for blowing this place up," John said.

Dante spat to the side again and picked up his fallen shotgun. "Then I say we go back to the Gate." John nodded and they began heading out, Dante spitting again.

"Are you all right?" Teal'c asked.

"Yeah. I'll be fine," Dante said. They quickly made it back to the Stargate and Dante pulled out his remote for the C-4. "You might wanna dial up the Gate. I don't know how much of a big badda boom there'll be," he said. Rodney punched in the address for Atlantis and sent his code through. Dante hit the button for the explosives and they all felt the tremors in the ground.

"I think we might wanna go through," Vala said, pointing at the shockwave heading for them. They all ran through.

"Shield up!" John yelled. They all saw the light from the explosion. A sigh of relief escaped Dante and he sat down on the steps.

"Are you all okay?" Elizabeth asked.

"Bit sore and banged up," Dante muttered.

"What happened?" Elizabeth asked.

"Found some experiments the Wraith were doing on themselves," John said.

"One got loose and we showed it why we aren't good to eat," Cameron added.

"All right. Get checked out and meet me for the debriefing in two hours," Elizabeth ordered. They nodded and headed out of the room.

John stopped Dante and motioned him over to one side. Dante folded his arms, having an idea on what was to come. John glanced around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on them. Satisfied, he turned back to the vampire, his arms crossed. Dante folded his own arms over his chest.

"You threaten my team again and I'll take you down," John said.

"I'll do whatever it takes to protect people," Dante returned.

"Just be careful on who you threaten next time. Ronon might not wait for an order to stop," John said. He turned and left.

Dante glared after him, not realizing that for the briefest of moments, his eyes flared black. His eyes quickly returned to their normal hue and he headed down to the infirmary, telling himself he had done the right thing on the planet.


Evil cliffhanger! Buahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!...um...I swear I'm sane...ish...
