EARTH

UNDER CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN

STARGATE COMMAND

5:46 AM

Samantha Carter sat at the control console, deep in thought. Lines of code commands and equations drifted down and up like digital rain in the Matrix. The humming screens featured her greatest work yet, giving a whole new dimension to understanding the event horizon. No pun intended. Every once in a while, she would glance up at the Gate, thinking on all the mysteries it held, all the shocking twists and turns it may still keep locked away. Thinking like that kept her going, hoping that her work would make an impressionable dent in the dark veil surrounding the Gate and the Gate makers.

Daniel walked in behind the wall of metal and lights, his hands in his pockets, eyes on the floor. Carter turned and looked at him and smiled.

"Couldn't sleep?"

"Yeah…" He groaned, smiling weakly. "I keep thinking about what's out there, floating around… It is the type of thing to keep you awake… Where's Walter?" Carter shrugged and kept typing. Daniel sat down in the chair next to her, eying the Gate. He blinked once. The Gate groaned and the inner ring began to spin. Carter and Daniel jumped and went to it. Daniel hailed Walter's radio, since he should have been in the control room. Carter was clicking commands into the computer. In the Gate room, a group of armed soldiers came from the side doors and hefted their weapons in the direction of the Gate. The seventh chevron locked.

The silvery blue vortex spiraled out of the Gate and retracted back in. Walter rushed in behind Carter and snatched his seat from Daniel. He placed his hand on the registration scanner.

"Closing the iris…" The metallic blades arched down and began to seal the Gate. The opening the size of a basketball was all that was left…

A white clad arm burst from the event horizon by the elbow and gripped the iris. The Gate groaned and the metallic blades screeched to a halt. The computers in the control room screamed and spat out random segments of code. Walter and Carter fought for dominance as the computers became overridden with foreign code. The arm in the Gate heaved and shoved the iris back up a few meters. A person attached to the arm stepped out of the event horizon. The iris slammed shut behind him, shaking the Gate as the device shut down. Everyone stared.

The figure was very tall. Black, spiky hair leapt from his scalp, three streaks of silver arched from the center of his forehead. Silver eyes beamed reflected light out over the room. A sinewy scar lashed down over the right eye. The clothing worn was a white trench coat with the Earth symbol stamped on the chest. The right sleeve was tucked in, a metal plate sat where the right arm should be. A glowing pack was strapped to the back of the left shoulder. Red pants tucked into combat boots, the bottoms layered in naquadah. Havoc was slightly slouched over.

"Freeze!" A young gunner yelled. Havoc whipped his head around and sneered. He pulled his hand back and slammed a fist into the ground.

"Soul Thread!" A wall made of ice and spears of water leapt out of the ground and slammed into the gunner. A wall of flame arched up behind the ice and threw the human into the wall. A soldier yelled and a wall of bullets shot towards the super human. Havoc lifted his hand, open palmed and the bullets froze in the air. Havoc swung around and emitted a clear shockwave.

"Time Break!" The humans found themselves frozen in place. Havoc strolled up to the nearest guard and smile. "Nap time…" The room was filled with the sound of rushing wind and the humans were all sent to the floor. Carter and Daniel were speechless. Havoc turned to look at the control room. Walter tapped the controls. The blast door began to lower and the alarm siren activated. Before the door could get completely sealed, a hand gripped the bottom of the steel. The machines in the door screeched as they were sent into overload. Havoc raised the door and sneered. There was a bright flash of light and Havoc appeared behind them. Daniel whipped around. Havoc was on one knee, holding a disk up to him. Havoc smile.

"Greetings from Atlantis, Dr. Daniel Jackson."

PEGASUS GALAXY

PSX-5637

3:00 AM: LOCAL TIME

Sheppard swore as he tripped over another root. The team had been stumbling over these damn plants for a good hour. The trees were like giant redwoods, but the roots were plentiful and snaking around the ground. It was near impossible to keep the proper balance when a root was always underfoot. Sheppard fantasized of bringing a chainsaw with him on missions, and regulations be damned.

Teyla's people had traded with the inhabitants long ago, but these people moved deeper and deeper into the woods each time the second moon rose, marking a new year. Eventually, the people just became too hard to find. The UAV had found a type of clearing with distinguishable heat signatures. Sheppard hoped that it was the village they were looking for. What really got his interest was the amount of energy readings the clearing held. Perhaps the locals had an operation piece of Atlantian machinery.

The humans found the opening; the moonlight began to break through. The sound of human cheers and bright flashes of light signaled a celebration. John smiled, thinking that a celebration after this trek was just the thing to make him happy and make Rodney shut the hell up about the long walk. He had been cramming down breakfast bars for the whole trip. John looked around the last tree.

The cheers were really screams of pain and shock. The bright flashes of light were the weapons firing from a Wraith Cruiser in orbit. The large village had been turned into a small sun, flames eating away flesh and bones, people running and spreading the smell of rotten meat. A beam transporter activated in front of them. An Asuran soldier stood in front of John. Their weapons melted and fell to the ground as they were frozen by shock and an invisible force. The Asuran man smiled. They knew that form anywhere.

Inverse Rekhyt sneered as he closed a fist.

"Good to see you again, Colonel Sheppard…"

The Inverse fist came slamming down on John's face. The world went to black.

A/N: Story is going to be half and half now. Havoc's on Earth and the team is fighting the Inverse Asurans in the Pegasus Galaxy. Havoc's end will hold more humor though...
