Disclaimer: Whoops! been forgetting to put this danm thing on here, probably because the notion of me owning this stuff is silly, anyway don't sue me.

A/N: Someone said that they didn't believe Apollo and Starbuck's reaction to the fighters coming at them, keep in mind that there was no chatter between the two forces only what appeared to be four fighters attacking them, what would you do? On chapter length, the 1st chap. was the prologue, they are getting progressivly longer as the story picks up. Oh, and don't forget to review.

Chulak:

Teal'c, a former member of the now disbanded SG-1 sat in his home on his native planet. He looked curiously at the screen that adorned his desk. Pressing the button he was met with the familiar face of is friend and former commander general Jack O'Neill. "Hey "T" buddy, how ya doin?".

"I am well O'Neill" Teal'c answered with a smile, "How are the maneuvers going old friend?".

"Yeah about that, there's been a change of plans, Atlantis is going to be attacked, and we just found some weird new faction of humans who keep claiming that I'm something called a cylon.". Jack answered with his patented sarcasm.

"That is indeed interesting O'Neill, but what does that have to do with the Jaffa, or me for that matter?". said the former first prime.

"Well, Daniel is going to freak out when I tell him about these guys, Sam is joining the fleet to look at their equipment and since one of my captains is sick I thought a living legend of the UEA might want to have one last hurrah, and maybe a beer or twelve.". Jack answered with a grin.

"I will meet you at Atlantis O'Neill.". Teal'c stated before turning off the device and grabbing his staff weapon, it had been far too long since he had been in battle, Teal'c was looking forward to it.

Onboard the UEA United States:

"For the last damn time what the hell is a cylon?" Jack yelled.

"Like I'd fraking tell you" the woman said back to him.

"Now that is a word that I can decipher," Jack said right back to her "which leads to my question, does your mother know you talk like that?".

"You know damn well that she is dead you fraking toaster!" she screamed at him. Jack wasn't put off by her at all, instead he turned towards the man.

"I already know your call sign is Apollo, what's your real name?" he said. When the man looked confused Jack added, "Its on your helmet, her call sign is Starbuck, and by the number of kill stickers you has on your fighters I'd say you are both experienced pilots." seeing that the man still wasn't going to talk he continued, "And, I'll put my stars on the fact that you are based out of one of those big ships that were in the center of your fleet. So, I'm telling you now that your fighters and your base ships are no match for us.".

Starbuck exploded at that, "You bastard, you'll never catch the Galactica!". She was silenced by a look from the man, who Jack now realized was her superior officer.

"I'll admit that it was clever tearing off your ranks while you were out in space, but you have now let slip that Apollo here is you superior and that you fly from the Galactica, now, rest assured that if they jumped anywhere in UEA space we will find them, when we do, you will be returned to your ship.".

"WHAT!" Apollo said, in a completely disbelieving voice, "Why would you let us go?".

"Because, you moron I am not a cylon, whatever that is. Your quarters are ready, and if you're good you can come to the bridge to see Atlantis when we get there." Jack was at the door when he suddenly stopped and faced them again, "You know, I have had a lot of experience being captured, and when you are trying to piss of the interrogator, getting angry doesn't work, next time try sarcasm.". With that he stepped out the door and began the walk to the bridge. They were only a day away from Atlantis and the impending battle there, Jack was now sure that they would only arrive just in the nick of time, stopping to confront the strange fleet he had encountered wasted some time, time that he now needed back.

Onboard the Galactica:

"What do you mean they aren't there." Admiral Adama said to the frightened looking pilot in front of him.

"I mean sir, that there was no trace of Apollo and Starbuck, no wreckage or anything. We checked the planet too but it seems that they have disappeared." the pilot replied.

"All right, thank you Lt.", Adama said as he dismissed the man. He looked down at the readings on the unknown fleet that he had in front of him. One of the ships was larger than the Galactica by a large margin, three more were only slightly bigger, the rest of the ships, while clearly built for war were smaller than his own proud battlestar. He looked up as his friend and commander of the battlestar Pegasus commander Tigh. "Hello Saul," he started, "the raptors couldn't find any trace of Apollo or Starbuck, and since those ships are not like any cylon design we have ever seen I'm ordering the fleet back to that planet.".

"Bill that's a mistake and you know it" Tigh started but he was quickly cut off.

"Those are the two best pilots in the fleet, we can't afford to lose them, but if it makes you feel better I'll send a scout team first. But that's my final decision.".

Atlantis:

"Its going to be real close Elizabeth" Colonel John Sheppard said as he entered the office of Dr. Weir.

"I just hope that they make it in time, there is simply no way that we can protect the colony on the mainland as well as the city." she replied in a tired tone. "How are the preparations going?".

"All the jumpers are ready to go and the city has a full compliment of drones, McKay is still working on the hyper drive for the Aurora, but he still hasn't got it working right, I think that he doesn't want to lose the damn thing" John finished his statement with a small smile. "But you are right, we cannot defend everything with our current recourses, we can only hope that Jack comes through with that fleet.".

Stargate Command:

Both Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson were former members of SG-1, they are also both good friends of general O'Neill, so when a great opportunity arose to meet a new nation of people, Jack turned to Daniel, who always had a "people thing". But when it came to analyzing the technology of those people, Sam Carter was the obvious choice because, despite whatever Rodney McKay might say, she is the most brilliant mind in UEA space. To say that the two most professional people in their fields were excited would be an understatement, Daniel was positively giddy, while Carter was almost glowing, god knows she was never happier than during the times where she played with her "techno toys". The stargate activated and the pair stepped through emerging and instant later in the city of Atlantis.

Unknown Planet:

The United Earth Alliance vessel Victory was one of the smaller class vessels in the fleet. Most of the time they were there to escort the larger ships, this time the Victory and her captain Cameron Mitchell were scouting for any leads on the mysterious fleet that general O'Neill confronted hours before. Mitchell had just about given up hope of finding anything beyond the campsite on the planets surface when in a flash of light, two small vessels appeared, they bore similar markings to those of the fleet that escaped earlier, "Perhaps they are searching for their missing pilots" he thought to himself, its best to adopt a wait and see approach to this one. "Lt., move us to the other side of that moon, lets see if the rest of these guys show up.".

A/N: Review people, some of you on the alert list haven't yet, thats not right. And it only takes a minute, but it makes my day a little better.
