A/N: This chapter is dedicated to my favorite Naruto battle between Kakashi and Zabuza. If you don't spot the reference, you're a #$in' dumb$$.


The shockwave blast forced a horrid crater to push cracks into the ice. Pure power lashed out over where the unconscious soldier had laid. A patch of Havoc's clothing was stuck as a tuft on a rock. His metal link with Teyla had been severed. She now knew what he felt like when her brain rejected him. That could only mean that Havoc had stopped functioning. She didn't want to think about it.

Zeke didn't act like a father would. He had Rodney's Evolution Monitor in his hand. It beeped and he looked at the crater and back at the read-out like he was analyzing data in an experiment.

"How strange…"

"What is it?"

"Havoc should be dead… but I'm still reading his evolution scans…?"

"How is that strange?"

"For one… that blast should have killed him, but his life scans indicate perfect health… and his evolution has become Xyz: Final Form… That's definitely his human form… but he is supposed to be in some kind of metamorphosis… and yet the planet is still in transit…" He ran his hands through his hair. "God! There are too many variables…!" Teyla shook her head and kept an eye on the hole. Inverse Havoc aimed his gun at the sky, firing victory shots.

"Today, the servant becomes the Reaper!"

"May I interject?" Inverse froze in place.

Havoc was behind him, picking his nose with his pinky finger. He observed his findings with detached interest and flicked the rewards on the ground. His right arm was whole, but it wasn't metal, but flesh and bone. Inverse snarled. Havoc phased out of vision and reappeared behind the creature again. The man was smiling like an entertained child. Inverse aimed the gun at Havoc's forehead. Havoc did not duck or dodge the barrel. It rested centimeters from his head. Inverse Havoc tried to fire, but it was like he was frozen in place. He was trapped by Havoc's eyes. They were silver with neon blue blotches here and there. They stared straight into the core of the Inverse being.

"Fire your weapon… Destroy me now…" Havoc asked. Inverse sneered.

"You believe you are the true weapon…? Ha! You are just a fake copy of the true self…"

"…I am the genuine article. No copy can match my skill." Havoc finished. Inverse's eyes widened. Havoc continued.

"It's like he can read my thoughts. What trickery is this?" Havoc mockingly said. The being's very thoughts spewed out of Havoc's mouth like a printer. Inverse jumped back and slammed his fist into Havoc's face. Before it could connect, Havoc disappeared. His echoing voice surrounded the demon.

"How can this be…? He foresees my every move…" Havoc kept reading his opponent's mind, or at least he seemed to. Inverse dashed away towards a set of rocks. He crouched down behind the formation, gasping for air.

"How does he do that…?"

"It's really getting annoying, huh?"

Inverse jumped and slowly craned his head up. Havoc sat on the rocks above him, idly tapping the back of his boot against the rock. Inverse Havoc leapt away into the opening. Havoc followed, but invisibly.

"How do you defeat an enemy that knows all your thoughts… all your plans… ideas… emotions…? We are one in the same." Havoc said, slowly walking to his counterpart. Havoc himself began to radiate more shadows than Inverse. His machine clone slammed a fist into the side of Havoc's face. A metallic clang emitted from the blow, and Inverse pulled his hand back in intense pain. Havoc kept walking up to him.

"You are no match for me… I have learned and grown from all the teachings of that bastard Ascended council and the Asuran mind. I have learned that all who oppose the ways of peace must be terminated…" The ground underneath him cracked from the stress. The ice exploded. "Those who wish to kill must be killed…" The rubble from the fight began to levitate in the air. "Those who violate these sacred laws must be destroyed! Thank you for the lesson… Now you must die, you piece of junk." Havoc dashed forward and slammed a right hook into Inverse's head. The Asuran fell to the ground ten feet away. Where the punch landed, the metal was melting and smoldering. Havoc walked a bit and reached down for the Inverse's neck. He lifted the robot and sneered.

"Now you will know pain…"

The ground shook and the planet dropped out of hyperspace. Havoc looked up into the sky. Atlantis floated on the small blue planet that began to fill up the new night sky like a giant moon. Inverse Havoc slammed a fist of metal into Havoc's gut, lodging a piece of his hand in the blood stream. Havoc was thrown into a wall of stone nearby. Inverse began to glow with power from his new source. Havoc began to feel weak as the nano-bots sucked the power from him, feeding the Asuran.

"You first…"


Weir was in a real bind. The Wraith were coming and now the city was on full alert because of a massive energy source was headed straight for them as well. She had retreated to the balcony to think. At times like this, she wished that Havoc had stayed. Maybe she could send a message to Earth asking for an adjustment on his stay. She looked up into the sky and did a double take. The Earth hung above, the Artic pole facing her. Zelenka screamed behind her.

"Doctor! Come into the Gate room!"

Weir rushed in and found that the Gate room was coated in ice and snow. It was a hologram of Inverse and Havoc along with their surroundings. Havoc was pinned to a stone pillar by ice. He struggled and eventually gave in, hanging his head low. Inverse Havoc was standing in front of the stairs. He began to form colors, his cloak growing a crimson red, spikes growing out of the shoulders. He stooped over and looked at Weir.

"I trust you have seen my little gift…?"

"What are you doing? Where's my team?"

"Your team is about a mile away, north, and northeast of my location. As for my plan, I have deemed this pathetic creature unworthy of completing the mission, so I will perform the Final Reset on my own. Say hello Havoc!" Havoc looked up at Elizabeth and screamed.

"Elizabeth! Evacuate the city! Leave before you…"

He was interrupted by Inverse jamming a bladed wrist into his ribs. Havoc yelled in pain and winced.

"Sadly, I cannot kill this one because he is my battery, you see. As well as a splendid shield if I choose it. But to be cautious, I will give you a charming little distraction." Inverse turned and jammed a fist into Havoc's head. He yelled as gigawatts of energy flowed through him. Havoc's base programming erupted out. Havoc opened his mouth.

"BEACON OF PAIN!" A sphere of light rose off the two and shot upward. Havoc coughed.

Please be dead… Please don't be ascended… please… Havoc thought desperately. He was answered by a flare of light and a figure was crouched before Inverse. The new one had silver hair and mirrored Havoc to the nth degree, except for the scar. Havoc swore and shook his head. The figure had black dragon wings.

"Arise…" Inverse ordered. The figure rose. "Dispose of them…" The figure turned. Yellow eyes with black slits for pupils stared at Weir, fanged teeth smiling. Falc'ner, Havoc's long since dead third brother had risen.

"Good to see you again, Dr. Weir…"

"Get to work…"

Falc'ner took off. Inverse looked down on Weir.

"He will only attack if your ships launch. But I would be worried more about the planet hurdling towards your precious city. The Earth will collide with Atlantis, making enough energy to force Havoc back into an evolution strong enough to fuel the Final Reset."

The hologram disappeared and Inverse's echoing laughter coursed through the air. A red timer appeared on every computer screen in the tower.

10:00… 9:59… 9:58…
