Here be today's update! I hope you guys like it.
Elphie Muse: Will you get these dang sporks to stop chasing me?
There are no sporks...
Sporks: There are no sporks?
:Sporks fall to ground bent and twisted:
Elphie Muse: Phew...safe...
Not from my insanity!
Elphie Muse:Blinks: erm...this is true...
Yup. Now go read readers! For I own nothing in this fic! Wait...that's not a happy thing...
"Sam, I don't think they'll let us aboard the Daedalus just to go to Atlantis. I think someone might put two and two together to figure out who we are if five Senshi and a knight show up," Jack said.
"I know. But who said we'd be taking the Daedalus?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" Michiru asked.
"I'll show you," Sam said. She closed her eyes and focused. Within several moments they were in a frozen, barren landscape.
"Sam, is this by chance Antarctica?" Jack asked, shivering slightly.
"Yeah."
"Why are we here?" Haruka asked.
"We're here because our ride to the Pegasus Galaxy is here," Sam said.
"Uh Carter? There's nothing here but snow, ice, and guess what? More snow!" Jack exclaimed, his teeth beginning to chatter.
"That and this was an Ancient outpost," Sam said. She walked forward a few paces and stopped. She looked around then smiled. "Here we go…" she murmured and reached her hand out. It impacted something invisible. A door to her left grated open, revealing a large cargo bay.
"A…ship?" Jack asked. "An…Alteran ship?"
"Yup," Sam grinned. She walked up the ramp and into the ship, the others following. Lights flickered to life as they progressed down the length of the ship.
"This looks like a warship or something," Hotaru said, looking at the small fighters that lined the hanger.
"Might've been," Haruka agreed.
"Can this fly though?" Setsuna asked.
"It should," Sam said.
"Sam, does the SGC know about this ship?" Jack asked.
"No," the blonde said. "I found…remembered actually," she amended, "where it was when I awakened as Phoenix."
"How fast will this get us there?" Haruka asked.
"Um…a week maybe? I've made a few modifications to the engines to get more power from them," Sam answered.
"Why can't you just teleport us there?" Hotaru queried.
"I don't know if I can or not," Sam admitted. "It might require more power than I have. But I'd rather not risk it."
"So when do we leave?" Michiru asked.

"The Starlights are in trouble?" Makoto asked the next day at the Hikawa Shrine.
"Seems that way," Jack said.
"Then we need to go now!" Usagi exclaimed.
"No," Sam said.
"Why not?" Rei demanded, arms folded over her priestess outfit.
"Because if we can't stop these Wraith things, then chances are they'll get here," Setsuna said. "So someone needs to be here to defend this galaxy."
"But if we work together, we will stop them in their home galaxy," Minako said.
"It makes sense," Ami added.
"No," Michiru said firmly.
"This is our job," Haruka said. "We stop threats from entering this galaxy."
"But…" Usagi began.
"You guys are needed here," Sam said. "You have families that need you and we don't know how long we'll be gone. It could be days, weeks, months…"
"Maybe years," Jack added.
Usagi looked a little hurt, but understood their reasoning. "All right," she finally said. "Just make sure you come back."
"Can we at least see you guys off?" Makoto asked.
"I don't see why not," Haruka said.

Two days later the Senshi were huddled inside warm down jackets. "That is a big ship," Ami said. "I'd love to see how it works."
Sam grinned. "When we get back I'll show you."
"Deal," Ami said.
"We're all set," Jack said. The others nodded and said their goodbyes to the Inner Senshi and Mamoru. Once done, they boarded the ship and closed the hanger bay doors. The six went up to the bridge and Sam hit several buttons.
"What are you doing?" Michiru asked.
"Teleporting them back to the Hikawa Shrine," Sam answered. The ship began rumbling and slowly rose into the air.
"All systems are go," Jack said as they entered the atmosphere.
"Engage," Sam said.
"Hey! I wanted to say that," Jack grumbled as Sam smirked at him. The four Outer Senshi shook their heads as the ship rocketed into hyperspace.

Sam sat in the dining area of the ship, knees drawn up to her chest, her arms around her legs. She stared at the streaks of the stars, not even aware of someone behind her till their hand touched her shoulder. Sam jumped and glared at the intruder.
"Jumpy?" Haruka chuckled, settling down into the seat next to Sam. She set a mug of hot coffee on the table. She crossed her legs and draped an arm over the back of the chair while the other hand was wrapped around the mug.
The smell of the coffee assaulted Sam's nose, but she ignored it. They were three, almost four, days into their trip and Sam was slightly uneasy. Haruka sipped at her coffee, eyeing Sam closely.
"You all right?" the Outer Senshi asked.
Sam shrugged. "I'm fine, but I just…I have this feeling of something bad about to happen. And I haven't sensed anything unusual, but it's there."
Haruka set the cup down and looked out the window. "I know what you mean. It's almost like the calm before the storm."
Sam let out a slow breath, not at all cold even though she wore a loose tank top and flannel pants. "Care for a spar?" Sam asked after several moments of silence.
Haruka grinned. "Sure." The two blondes got up and walked down to a large room that they had designated the gym. Sam pulled a shirt over her tank top and waited as Haruka pulled her shoes off. They faced each other and began their sparring match, slowly warming up. Sweat soon formed on their faces as they increased the speed and intensity of their fight.
Sam blocked a right jab from Haruka and brought her left knee up. Haruka twisted free at the last second and flipped Sam over. The former Air Force officer rolled to her feet and grinned. Haruka returned the smile and charged in.
Sam went to block the punch when images swam in front of her eyes. Her eyes widened as images flashed through her head of white haired, pale skinned people draining the life from humans. Three people in black sailor outfits were fighting for their lives against the pale skin people. Help us! Please! Before all is lost! One of the pale skinned figures turned and grinned wickedly. Its taloned hand slashed down, black mist swarming overSam. Sam screamed, falling to the ground.
"Sam!" Haruka exclaimed.
Sam blinked, frowning as she realized she was lying on the floor. "Haruka?"
"You all right?" the Outer Senshi asked. "It looked like you were about to block my punch and then you suddenly screamed and fell to the ground."
Sam sat up, holding the bridge of her nose with her right hand. "I'm fine."
"Was it another vision?" Haruka asked.
Sam nodded. "It was more intense than the one I had on the Odyssey," she added.
"What does that mean?" Haruka inquired.
"Things are getting worse in the Pegasus Galaxy," Sam murmured.

"Have you guys seen Sam?" Jack asked two days later.
Setsuna shook her head. "I haven't seen her come to think of it."
"We did some sparring a few days ago, but that was the last time I saw her," Haruka said. She bit down and chewed a large piece of apple.
"Did she seem all right?" Michiru asked.
"She has been distant lately," Hotaru added.
"She had another vision, but that's been it," Haruka said after swallowing the apple piece. "I think she might have gone down to the engine room or something."
"I did go there," Sam said, wiping greasy hands on a rag. "I needed to clear my head and…"
"Working with your doohickeys does that," Jack chuckled.
Sam threw the rag in his face. "Actually, I was looking at those fighters in the hanger. They are advanced, but they're a lot like the 302s."
"So we could fly them if need be?" Jack asked.
Sam nodded. "Controls look the same at least. I'd need to study them more but for the moment they look flyable."
An alarm began beeping. "What's that?" Hotaru asked.
"We're here," Sam said. She ran up to the bridge, the others following.
"Where to now?" Setsuna asked.
"This is strange," Michiru murmured.
"What is?" Haruka asked.
"There are strange energy readings on this planet here," Michiru said.
"Seems worth checking out," Sam said. She tapped a few buttons on the main console and the ship changed directions. I'm here spirits. I'm here…
They've arrived! But what lies in store for our heroes? Stay tuned to find out!
