Chapter 3: Peter's Childhood Ends (Part 1)
…
We go to a planet where we see a puddle jumper flying above a forest.
…
Inside the puddle jumper we see AR-1 which contains Sheppard, McKay, Ford, Teyla and Peter in the front. Peter was standing beside McKay.
"Anything look familiar to you, Teyla?" Sheppard asked
"No. I do not believe this is a world I've visited before." Teyla answered
"Without landmarks, how can you tell?" Ford asked
"It is difficult by air, but every world is unique in its own way." Teyla said
"Speaking of unique… I have been doing some thinking." Peter said
"What kind of thinking?" Sheppard asked
"Well, from what I can tell this device works combining the DNA of the selected alien with my own." Peter said
"So?" Sheppard asked
"I also read a lot of mission reports on my off time. Mostly SG-1's. But the point is Earth hasn't encountered any of the aliens I can transform into in the Pegasus or the Milky way Galaxy." Peter said
"Huh. When you put it that way it is strange." McKay said thinking
"How is that strange?" Ford asked
"One of the SG Teams should of encountered one of them before Peter found that watch." McKay said
"Teyla. Have you or your people ever seen any sentient creatures besides the Wraith?" Peter asked
"No." Teyla answered
"And here's another weird thing… I tried to look up the watch in Atlantis database. I couldn't find anything even remotely related to it. None." Peter said
"What's your point?" Ford asked
"Either this was built by the Ancients after they abandoned Atlantis or it wasn't built by the Ancients at all." Peter said
"If it wasn't built by the Ancients… Then who built it?" Sheppard asked
We then see the puddle jumper shake…
"What was that?" McKay asked
"Turbulence?" Ford asked
"It seems to be okay now. I wonder what that was?" Sheppard asked
We then see the holographic screen pop up and McKay said, "I'm getting seriously conflicted energy reading. It looks like some sort of energy field about 2000 yards over there."
"Over where?" Sheppard asked
"18 degrees from our current heading." McKay answered
"Peter…" a deep faint voice said
"Huh?" Peter asked
"Beware…" the voice said
"Excuse me?" Peter asked
"I'm sorry. Yes. Energy field good." McKay said to Sheppard not paying any attention to Peter
"Don't go into the energy field!" the voice said
"Don't go into the energy field!" Peter repeated
"Why not?" McKay asked
But is was too late as the Puddle Jumper shake some more.
"It's getting worse." Teyla said
"That's enough. I'm getting out of here." Sheppard said before saying, "We're not getting any altitude. Controls are unresponsive."
As the shaking got even more worse we see the holographic screen turn off and Sheppard said, "The drive just went offline. We're going in!"
…
We go to the crashed puddle jumper where we see team still in one piece.
"What happened?" Ford asked
"He took us too close to the energy field." McKay answered
"Who's idea was that?" Sheppard asked
"Look, you make mistakes…" McKay was about to say when he saw Peter on the floor unconscious, "Oh my god, Peter!"
McKay got up and checked Peter's pulse.
"His pulse is stable." McKay said
"Why is he on the floor?" Sheppard asked
"He's completely knocked out. I don't know why, though." McKay said
He then said, "Peter. Wake up!" as he tried to slightly shake him awake which he succeeded as Peter woke up.
"What happened?" Peter asked
"Sheppard took us too close to the Energy field…" McKay said
"It was your idea, remember?" Peter asked
"Are you OK?" Sheppard asked
"I'm fine." Peter said as he got up
"Now that Peter is OK. Can you fix the ship or not?" Sheppard asked McKay
McKay looked at some equipment before saying, "None off my diagnostic equipment is working."
"The sun is still high in the sky." Teyla said
"What does that mean?" McKay asked
"We can make it back to the Stargate before dark." Ford answered
"If we intend to leave we should start now." Teyla said
"Zelenka and I can return to fix it." Sheppard said
"No, Major. You don't understand. It's not just the jumper. None of my equipment's working either." McKay said
"All right. Let's gear up." Sheppard said
…
We go outside the Puddle Jumper where we see Sheppard, Ford, Teyla, McKay and Peter exited said ship.
Ford pulled out a compass, looked at it and said, "Check it out, sir. I think my compass has gone wonky."
McKay laughed as he said, "You brought a magnetic compass to another planet in another Galaxy? You have no way of knowing if this planet's magnetic field is… Wait a second. Let me see that." before he looked at it and took it from Ford.
"The disturbance is electromagnetic. That probably explains why all our equipment's out." McKay said
Upon hearing McKay's words. Peter looked at his watch and decided to try something as he pressed the button and the cylinder popped up like it normally does. He twisted the dial and saw it was still working as it displayed all 10 of his aliens…
"Dad?" Peter asked
"Not now, Peter." McKay said
"It's important. My watch is still working." Peter said
Upon hearing those words McKay quickly walked over to Peter and looked at the watch.
"He's right… The interface is still working like it should." McKay said
"How is that possible?" Sheppard asked
"Don't ask me. I've been studying this device ever since Peter showed it to me and I've still have yet to scratch the surface!" McKay said
"What about transforming?" Ford asked
"Let's find out." Peter said as he selected an alien and pushed down the core
After the flash of green light we see Peter was transformed into Stinkfly.
"Yep. Still good!" Stinkfly said as he gave a thumbs up
"And why didn't you change into Upgrade?" Sheppard asked
"Seriously? You want me to change into Upgrade inside an electromagnetic disturbance?" Stinkfly asked
"An EM pulse would hurt him as Upgrade." McKay explained
"Oh. Well, Peter fly above us and be our eye in the sky." Sheppard said
"Why? I don't have a radio to communicate with you, because of the electromagnetic disturbance." Stinkfly said
"Then just fly a few feet above us." Sheppard said before saying, "You smell terrible."
"Peter, tap the symbol in the middle." the voice from earlier spoke again
Stinkfly slowly tap the hourglass symbol. When he did we see the usual green flash of light and Stinkfly changed back to Peter much to his and the others surprise.
"I didn't know you could change back early." Sheppard said
"Nether did I." Peter said
He looked at the watch and noticed that it turned green a second later.
…
We go to the team a while later where we see them walking when we see McKay pointing the compass at a direction and asked, "Can we go that way for a while?"
"Why?" Sheppard asked
"Look." McKay said as he showed Sheppard and Peter the compass
We see the compass was pointing at a certain direction.
"The disturbance is man made." McKay said, "If we can find the source of it. I might be able to shut it down."
"We won't have to walk home and we'll save a good puddle jumper." Peter said
"Good thing I brought it along then." Ford said
"Which way?" Sheppard said
"That way." McKay said as he pointed the compass to the left
…
A while later we see the team appear at the edge of what looked like ruins.
"Are those…?" Ford was about to ask
"Ruins." Teyla said
"McKay?" Sheppard asked
"The source seams to be coming from there." McKay said
Sheppard then said, "Great… Ford and I will go scout the area. The rest of you..."
He never finished his sentence as all of a sudden we see kids surround the team with bow and arrows pointed at them as the team (Except Peter) pointed their P-90s at the kids.
"Stand down, Lt.… They're just kids." Sheppard whispered
"With arrows pointed at us." Ford said
"We mean you no harm. We came through the Stargate. We just want to get back home." Teyla said
"I don't think they speak English." Ford said
"I think they do." Teyla said
"Then why are they still pointing arrows at us?" McKay asked
"And why not at me?" Peter asked as he noticed that none of them were pointed at him
"You're not a full grown." a kid answered
"Full grown?" Sheppard asked upon hearing that term
"You need to see the elders." the kid said
"Elders? That's good." Sheppard said, "Lead the way."
…
We go to a tree house village where we see the kids and AR-1 arriving. The team noticed that the inhabitant's were mostly kids or teens.
Teyla then noticed a crash dart with a Wraith skeleton leaning on it.
"John!" Teyla said
We then see the team at the Dart site.
"What the hell is this?" Sheppard asked
"It looks like a shrine." Teyla said
"You don't these kids worship the Wraith?" Ford asked
"I don't think so." Peter said, "Why would a shine include a dead Wraith?"
"Wraith bones… It's death bird fell out of the sky ages ago. We keep it here to remind us was life was like before." the kid said
"Before what?" Sheppard asked
Another kid whispered into his ear. After that he said, "The elders are ready."
We see a ladder fall out from the tree house and a kid held on to it as AR-1 one by one climbed up the ladder until McKay and Peter was left.
Peter looked at the ladder nervously.
"Something wrong?" McKay asked
"Remember the story of that tree house I tried to build when I was 8?" Peter asked
"You mean the one that put you in the hospital for a few months because the rope ladder broke and you broke you leg?" McKay asked
"Yes." Peter gulped
"Something wrong?" a kid asked
"Peter has a fear of climbing." McKay explained before saying to Peter, "Then turn into Stinkfly or Ghostfreak and fly up there."
"Oh, right." Peter said as he activated the watch and pushed down the core replacing him with Stinkfly once again surprising the villagers
We see Stinkfly grab McKay by the shoulders and flew up to the tree house. Once up there Stinkfly put McKay down and tapped the symbol changing back to Peter.
…
We go inside the tree house where we see three guys waiting for the team who entered the tree house.
Sheppard approached one of the men and said, "Hi. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Keras, one of the village elders." Keras said
"I'm Sheppard, this is McKay, Teyla..." Sheppard said
"You're an elder?" Peter interrupted Sheppard, "How old are you?"
"24." Keras said
"And makes you an elder?" Sheppard asked catching on what Peter was implying
"How did you get here?" Keras asked
"We used the Stargate to travel from our world to visit yours." Sheppard said
Keras and the other 'elders' looked at each other confused.
"You do know of the Stargate?" Teyla asked
"It's a big round… thing." Sheppard said
"Nice describing…" Peter said sarcastically
"No one has come through the Wraith well for nearly 500 years." Keras said
"Yeah, well here's the thing- We're a little lost." Sheppard said
"And you are all older then 24?" Keras asked
"Ford, how old are you?" Sheppard asked
"25, sir." Ford answered
"Yeah, I guess so… Well, except for Peter who's 10 years old." Sheppard said
"Yeah… About that. I'm 11 now." Peter said
"What?!" McKay asked surprised
"You sound surprised. My birthday was yesterday." Peter said
"And you didn't tell anyone?!" McKay asked
"You had my Birth Certificate. I assumed you already knew." Peter said
"Enough! You two can argue when we get back." Sheppard said before turning to Keras, "Is that a problem?"
Keras took off his hat thingy and said, "Please, sit."
One of the other 'elders' approached him and said, "They are trespassers, Keras. We don't have to explain ourselves."
Keras put a hand up and said, "I apologize" before gesturing them to sit which they did so.
Keras then said, "You're familiar with the Wraith?"
"Yes." Teyla said
"Well, we're not friends or anything like that." Sheppard said
"The Wraith used to farm our planet as used to farm livestock and beasts of burden. Only we were their herd." Keras said
"Yeah, they seem to do that everywhere." Ford said
"Our ancestors fought then, but our weapons were not strong enough. Our people tried to hide from them, but they were always found." Keras said, "None died peacefully. None could enter the eternal rest."
"Eternal rest?" Peter asked
"To die at the hands of the Wraith. To breathe your last breath among such hated and evil. There's no way to move peacefully into the next world when that is your fate." Keras explained, "My ancestors decided that to beat the Wraith, we must learn to think as they think. We ensured that we would never provide the Wraith with a crop worth picking."
"By…" Sheppard asked
"None of us passes the age of 24." Keras answered
"How do you manage that?" McKay asked
"Isn't it obvious? On someones 25th birthday they either kill that said person or… they kill themselves." Peter answered sadly
"Your friend is right." Keras said, "And so the Wraith have not returned for 500 years."
…
We go to the tree house a while later where we see the 'elders' talking while AR-1 was talking among themselves.
"Never in my my life have I felt so… old." Ford said
"This is without a doubt the most screwed up way of life I can imagine." Sheppard said
"They seem to accept it." Teyla said
"They're kids. What the hell do they know?" Sheppard asked
"I take offense to that. I'm 11 and I know a lot more then you ever will." Peter said offended
"He's right." McKay agreed
"Well, there are exceptions." Sheppard said
"Too late. You dug too deep of a hole." Peter said
"Anyway these kids don't want to keep us around." Ford said
"Because they believe our presence may bring back to Wraith." Teyla said
"They can't be right. Would the Wraith just ignore them because they're young?" Ford asked
"No, they wouldn't. I was captured by them, remember? And they didn't let me go. Granted it was because of my watch." Peter said
"He's right. It's because of the electromagnetic field that take out their darts." McKay said
"And every electrical device from shield to stunners." Peter said
"We must tell them." Teyla said
"Not before I've had a chance to look at those ruins, we don't." McKay said
"They're sacrificing themselves for no reason." Teyla said
"No, they are not… Population control…" said the voice in Peter's head
"No, they are not." Peter realized
"Yes, they are." Teyla said
"No, they are not! Notice everything! The electromagnetic field didn't take out the puddle jumper when we exited the Stargate right away. Nor did it take out the Stargate or its DHD. Which suggest there is a limited range on the field. The sacrifices. It's population control!" Peter said
"Oh my god." McKay said, "He could be right. But until I get a chance to look at those ruins, the chances of them believing us is practically none."
"He's right." Peter said
We then see Keras approach them and said, "We've talked it over. You can stay until you've fixed your ship, but you must work quickly. Your being here makes our people… uncomfortable."
"It's fair enough. We'll work as quickly as we can." Sheppard said
"There may have been something in those ruins where you picked us up that caused us to lose control of our ship." McKay said
"They should be watched at all times." Aries said
"Aries…" Keras said
"No, that's fine. Totally understandable." Sheppard said
I'll chose two of the villagers to keep an eye on you." Keras said
…
We see McKay and Ford exit the village with two of the villagers who happen to be children leave the village.
We go to Peter where we see him spying on the elder named Aries as Ghostfreak. Aries was with some people his age who were talking.
"How many?" a girl asked
"Four. Five if you count the child who was with them." Aries said, "They claim they're alone, but we can't be sure. There could be more."
"And you've given them time to repair their ship?" the girl asked
"Against my strong objection, yes." Aries answered
"So this is Keras." the girl said
"Who should be readying himself for his sacrifice, not troubling with the full growns. I will be eldest by tomorrow, but that may be too late." Aries said
"What do you want to do?" the girl asked
"They came through the Wraith well, Pelius. If they stay any longer the Wraith will come back and all our sacrifices will be for nothing." Aries said, "This calls for action, they need to be forced to leave."
"What about the child?" Pelius asked, "You said it yourself. He's way under the age of 24. What are you going to do with him? We have no law for an outsider under the age of 24."
Aries was silent for a bit before saying then said, "Talk with whoever you need to talk. I will give them until the end of the day to leave. If they do not…" he left the sentence hanging before he left
Pelius stared into space for a bit before Ghostfreak decided to speak up.
"Hey!" Ghostfreak said startling Pelius for a bit, "Don't be scared. I overheard your conversation with Aries."
"Where are you?" Pelius asked as she looked around
"I am going to show myself. Whatever you do… Don't scream. Got it?" Ghostfreak asked
Pelius nodded. Then Ghostfreak turned visible again.
"What are you?" Pelius asked
Ghostfreak simply tapped the hourglass symbol and changed back to Peter.
"My name's Peter." Peter said
"What…? How did you…? You were with the outsiders." Pelius said
"Yep. We need to talk." Peter said
"About what?" Pelius asked
"The Wraith well as you call it. There's something you and your people need to know about it." Peter said
"If you're trying to convince us to let you or your people stay…" Pelius said
"I'm not. I have better things to do and I can't fight the Wraith if I'm just on one planet." Peter stated
"Why didn't you say something when Aries was here?" Pelius asked
"I doubt he would believe what I am going to share with you." Peter said
"Share what?" Pelius asked
"Why do you call it the Wraith well? Just because they use it doesn't mean they built it." Peter said, "Also what do you know about the Ancients?"
And so for about an hour Peter explained the Stargate, the Ancients and the Galaxy where he came from. When he was done…
"I don't believe it…" Pelius said
"I only told you the truth. Nothing more." Peter said
He then got up and said, "I have to go find Sheppard or my dad. Thanks for listening." before walking away.
…
We go to the main part of the village where we see Peter just arrived. He passed by the crashed Wraith dart when he noticed that the bracelet connected to the wrist was activated…
"…Distress Beacon…" the voice in Peter's head said
Peter then ran to the bones and quickly removed the bracelet from the arm. He then threw it down on the ground, quickly activated the watch and selected Upgrade and pushed down the core replacing him with said alien.
Upgrade then merged with the device and quickly reprogrammed it to shut down. Once that was done, Peter removed himself from the device, changed back, grabbed it and ran off the find Sheppard.
…
We go to Sheppard and Teyla where we see Sheppard talking to Keras when Peter ran up to them and said, "Major. Did my dad disable the shield?"
"Yes…" Sheppard said
Peter just handed him the distress beacon and whispered, "Distress Beacon. It could've been dormant from time it crashed until Dad disabled the shield. I used Upgrade to permanently disable it, but I was too late. The Wraith just received the signal."
"Oh my god." Teyla said
"Sheppard! This is McKay. Ford and I are on our way to get the device back online." McKay said through the radio
Sheppard then said into the radio, "McKay… Peter just found a Wraith distress beacon. You might want to pick up the pace!"
We then see Aries approach Sheppard, Teyla and Peter and said, "You defiled the remains of the Wraith!"
"I had to." Peter said
"Your time is up! You must leave now!" Aries said
"Let me just say…" Peter said as he pushed down the watch's core and changed into Fasttrack, "You'll never make a good leader by jumping to conclusions."
Then he ran off…
…
We go to the EM machine in the old ruins where we see McKay and Ford by the machine. McKay was trying to get the device back online when we see Fasttrack crash into a wall, fell down and changed back to Peter.
"Ow!" Peter said as he got up and approached the two
We see McKay was still working when Peter said, "What's taking so long? Some Wraith are sure to be here!"
"…Sequence…" the voice in Peter's head said
"Apparently, I have to enter a sequence after reinstalling the Zed-PM in order to get it back online!" McKay said
"OK. I'll go Upgrade, merge with the device and…" Peter said as he activated his watch
"No Peter!… Use Shock-Rock!" the voice said
Peter then turned the dial a notch selecting Shock-Rock and pushed down the core replacing him with Shock-Rock.
"What happened to using Upgrade?" Ford asked
"Touch the device…" the voice said
Shock-Rock did so and then the voice said, "Now concentrate. Give it your power! Let the energy flow through you into the device!"
Shock-Rock concentrated and we see a blue energy wave exit him and enter the device, much to McKay and Fords surprise. We then see the ZPM glowing more and then the device lowered the ZPM into itself and then the EM field reactivated.
Then Shock-Rock fainted from the stress as he fell down and changed back to Peter.
…
An unknown amount of time later…
…
We go to the infirmary in Atlantis where we see Peter wake up.
"(Groans) What happened?" Peter asked
We see Dr. Beckett along with McKay, Weir and Sheppard approach Peter's hospital bed.
"Peter. You're OK." McKay said
"Did I do good?" Peter asked
"What are you talking about?" Sheppard asked
"The EM field generator…" Peter said
"So much for that theory… Peter, you've been in a coma for a few months!" McKay said
"Months?!" Peter exclaimed, "What happened?"
"When you used Shock-Rock on the device it caused the Zed-PM to absorb the power from you. You almost died from exultation." McKay said
"What happened while I was out?" Peter asked
"Well, we met and was betrayed on the same day by a sort of technologically advanced civilization, encountered a super large hurricane, Sheppard fell in love with an ascended being, Found a stasis pod that contained an alternate Dr. Weir and we might have to abandon the city." McKay said
"I miss all the good stuff because I was in a coma?!" Peter asked
"Peter… Soon… I will rise again!" the voice in Peter's head said
"Dr. Beckett… I think I'm going insane." Peter said
"Why's that?" Beckett asked
"I'm hearing a voice in my head. It started right before we entered the EM field." Peter said
"What voice?" Dr. Weir asked concerned
"Don't tell them!" the voice said
"It told me about the Population control theory, distress beacon and it told to use Shock-Rock instead of Upgrade." Peter explained, "And then it just said soon I will rise again."
Peter then fell down to the bed screaming as he held his head.
"Peter!" McKay shouted
We then see Peter sat up and stare at McKay.
"Hello, Dr. McKay." Peter said in a tone that was not his
McKay slowly backed up and asked, "What are you doing Peter?"
"(Laughs) Poor Dr. Rodney McKay. You don't remember me, but I do remember you. I got to know you better as I infected this child's mind over the months." 'Peter' said
"What are you talking about?" McKay asked
"When I failed to take over Earth and my physical body died. I uploaded myself into the device and slowly took over the device and the child." 'Peter' said, "Best plan ever… I never would of even thought to look in this Galaxy."
"Who are you?" Dr. Weir asked realizing that it was not Peter talking
"I… am… Anubis." Peter said in Anubis voice, "And I have been reborn!"
We then see Anubis laugh as Dr. Weir, Sheppard, and McKay looked at the possessed Peter in horror.
…
A/N: I am kinda sorry for the lack of participation of Peter in Season 1. I kinda thought that a 10-11 year old boy doing adult work no matter how mature… Anyway I decided to create this two to four chapters arc to correct this. How? (SPOILERS)
