This is when things get REALLY interesting, and a little confusing, but it will all be explained by the end of the story, I promise.
Stargate Atlantis: Ark of the Apocalypse
Chapter 5 - A voice from the dust . . .
Pegasus Supergate - Onboard the Apollo bridge.
"Colonel Ellis, we've got a communication from Atlantis."
"Let's hear it. Colonel Ellis directed. .
It took a second to patch the
"Colonel Ellis, we've recently received intel on a Wraith fleet that has been amassing." Woolsey familiarized.
"Give us the coordinates, we'll go check it out." Ellis suggested.
"We've already sent a team to a nearby gate to check things out. There are more than a thousand Wraith Hive ships headed for Atlantis. We have Four days until they arrive."
Colonel Ellis turned to McKay, who had the 'I want to go help so I can be the hero' look. Then directed his next comment through the comms to Woolsey.
"We'll drop McKay off, and the Odyssey will return Dr. Jackson to Earth and inform Stargate Command of the situation." Ellis said.
"Understood." Woolsey confirmed.
"Good luck."
Janus' Super Secret Lab
Carter had spent most of the last few days going over anything in the labs she and Zelenka could get their hands on.
"I don't get it, what are we looking for?" Radek asked.
"I'm not sure." Carter realized Zelenka was about to call it quits.
"According to the hologram Daniel saw, the Asgard helped Janus build a ship, and if it's the one I keep hearing about in these . . ." Carter was cut off.
"Visions that an Ascended Ancient was showing you?" Zelenka asked.
"Have you been talking to Daniel?" Carter asked.
"I stopped by the holo room while he was looking for the Ark." Zelenka admitted.
Carter's expression changed, and suddenly she was on the eastern pier, the odd thing is. There was only one moon out, when there should have been three.
There was a violent and abrupt disruption of the water half mile away from the city, and a maelstrom formed, and very quickly expanded.
The edge was encompassing most of the eastern pier, then the wind carried a word passed Carters ears
"Leviathan!"
The word was repeated as the volume faded, almost like an echo.
Then a massive ship emerged from the depths of the sea, throwing water everywhere.
The ship rose, and began to hover over the city.
"Colonel Carter."
Carter's attention was pulled down to see a man that seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember him.
"This ship, the Leviathan, was going to be the ship that saved Atlantis from the Wraith ten thousand years ago. But the Wraith attack came on so suddenly, they couldn't take the chance going for it. So they took the key to it's operation back to Earth, and left the ship." The man said.
"Aren't you breaking a lot of rules even allowing me to see you?" Carter asked.
"I've managed to distract the rest of the Ascended beings. But time is running out."
"Where is the ship?" Carter asked.
"Sometimes, you have to go back to where you began." the man cryptically replied.
"What about the key?" Carter asked.
"Daniel went back for it." the man replied.
"You're being awfully cooperative for an ascended being." Carter pointed out.
"Allow me to explain why. About a year ago, Atlantis was under attack when Rodney left an Ancient warship in orbit."
As the man explained who he was, the memories flooded back.
"Soon you won't remember any of this. Soon all you will remember will either be a Wraith onslaught where everyone is dying, or a decisive victory where you gain another, massively powerful ship."
"Colonel Carter?" Zelenka asked.
Carter turned to the voice of Zelenka, and realized that the Ascended being was gone.
But rather than look for him, Carter's focus went into overdrive.
"Search for the name 'Leviathan' in Janus's records." Carter asked.
Atlantis - Stargate Ops.
Dr. McKay appeared in a flash of white light.
"Dr. McKay, how did the Supergate test go?" Woolsey asked.
"We're about to be overrun by Hive ships, and you're worried about the Pegasus Supergate?" McKay asked.
"I asked, because, then we can possibly get reinforcements from three galaxies, instead of just this one." Woolsey corrected. "I've already contacted the coalition, they're assembling a committee to gather ships and resources." Woolsey added.
"Ellis is taking Dr. Jackson to meet up with the Odyssey, he's heading back to Earth to find the Ark of the Covenant. And in the meantime he's going to see about rounding up some more help, maybe this defeat won't be too bad." McKay ensured. Then did a double take.
"I didn't realize the coalition had the resources we need." Rodney pointed out.
"They don't, but every little bit helps." Woolsey replied.
"Any emphasis on the word 'little'?" Rodney asked.
"Getting back to the threat at hand, where are you going?" Woolsey asked.
"Well, I was going to look at the Zed P.M. the Apollo got from the attack drone." McKay said hoisting a case, containing the Z.P.M. "Maybe we can get some more power for the Drone platform and the shield.
McKay excused himself.
Apollo - Milky way Supergate.
The Apollo had crossed through the Supergate and made the hand off of Dr. Jackson to the Odyssey.
With the hand off made, the Odyssey headed for Earth.
The Apollo headed off to find help in defending Atlantis.
Odyssey - Bridge.
"Welcome to the Odyssey, Dr. Jackson." the Commander, Colonel Cameron Mitchell greeted.
"Mitchell, you get the transmission?" Daniel asked.
"Sure did." Colonel Mitchell replied, then turned to his pilot.
"Set a course for Earth, and engage the hyper drive." Colonel Mitchell said.
Colonel Mitchell leaned over to Daniel.
"I always thought it was in a military warehouse in Nevada."
The ship jumped to hyper space.
Janus' Super Secret Lab
It was almost two hours, before any sort of results appeared on the screen, Zelenka was about to give up.
But then something happened.
"This is interesting." Carter said.
Zelenka looked, not expecting to see anything of any significance.
"What is it?" Zelenka asked.
"It's an encrypted directive." Carter replied.
"Can you decrypt it?" Zelenka asked.
"I don't know." Carter replied going to work.
But it wasn't long before Carter stumbled onto an algorithm that seemed to be working, but the directive still seemed to be locked, but Carter was able to gain enough access to know what it did.
"This directive is linked to a small compartment somewhere in this lab." Carter said still working on unlocking the directive.
Finally, she had it, and a small pedestal extended upward from the floor in the center of the room.
On it was a small device like the life-signs detector, except it was different, instead it had several buttons on the face of the device, and the screen displayed a single blip with a ring expanding outward from the blip.
Instantly Carter knew what it was.
"It must be sending some kind of signal from a homing beacon, we should be able to trace this to the Leviathan." Carter said, then grabbed a tablet, and began interfacing the tablet with the device.
Atlantis - Woolsey's Office
Carter walked in after a brief greeting from Woolsey.
"What have you found?" The bean-counting administrator asked.
"I think we found the Leviathan." Carter began.
There was a momentary flicker in the lights.
Woolsey activated the link on his headset.
"What's going on?"
"Mr. Woolsey, you might want to see this." Chuck said.
Woolsey stood, and looked out through the glass to see a hologram appear directly in front of the Stargate.
"I AM ANUBIS! Humans of Atlantis, your end of days is at hand. Bow before your God, and you will be spared."
"He always did have a flare for the dramatic." Carter said realizing the gravity of the situation.
The face of the true villain is revealed. Now that I think about it, this is starting to look alot like "The Lost City" from Season 7, but I promise it will not end in a similar manner.
