Ronon heard explosions off in the distance. Apparently news travelled very slowly on this world. The ceasefire agreement had been made over three hours the previous and they were still firing. Ronon didn't mind. Honestly, he didn't even care. Anyone who even got close enough to him to shoot would probably end up missing an extremity, or their head. He smiled at this. The idea of missing extremities delighted him in a kind of sick way. He focused his attention on the edges of the path, where the more incompetent McKay's of Atlantis would be hiding.

Suddenly beams of energy sizzled through the air; Ronon dove behind a boulder, expecting a quick kill. He shot at his attackers with one red bolt of energy after another. When the bolts continued, without even a reprise Ronon was puzzled. Those were killing blasts! He should have hit one of them by now, which may have cut some of the attack. He risked a glance, aimed and fired, hitting one of them squarely in the chest. The man didn't so much as blink, and kept shooting at him. Ronon fired again, this time at the head. Still, nothing happened. They approached him steadily, continuing to fire. Ronan, never actually scared, was curious.

They didn't look any different than the normal farmers that inhabited the planet, except that they were carrying incredibly advanced weapons and seemed to be totally immune to his blaster. Then Ronan saw. The people where wearing that ancient personal shield thingy McKay sometimes talked about. They were as close to invincible as you could get. Still he fired. Then he roared in pain as his blaster was torn out of his hands and skidded across the forest floor. They were on top of him now, with no hope of escape. Now he regretted Sheppard's offer of coming with his team, he could use some backup now...

As if in answer to his pleads, a strong wind picked up along with a very strange sound. A large blue box started to appear in front of him, blocking him from the men. Ronan was momentarily distracted from the searing pain in his lower arm from the energy blast. Then, seeing his attackers also distracted, took the moment to grab his blaster and take up a position near the Box. The doors of the box opened revealing a man. He was dressed in a blue pinstripe suit and brown coat that fell past his knees. He looked absurd so in the current setting Ronon nearly laughed out loud. Ronon literally saw the jaws of the men drop and he snickered. The man walked out into the forest to face the attackers.

"Oh, that's just not fair now is it?" he asked, puzzling the men still further. He pulled out something from his coat and pointed it at them. It made a kind of funny buzzing noise and the two green objects popped off their chests.

Ronon took his chance and shot them both. The man from the box turned to him, horrified, as if seeing him for the first time.

"What the heck was that for?" the man all but screamed at him, "I had that under control!"

"It was only a stun blast" Ronan grunted, "I didn't have enough power to take them both down. Besides, they would have killed you if you'd given him half a chance" the man threw him a dirty look before bending down to check the two.

"Martha, could you help me please? We need to get these men to a safer spot. Maybe over there by those trees"

Martha bent over the men checking them for signs of life.

"What happened to them, Doctor?" She asked

"He shot them" The Doctor said simply, pointing, clearly disgusted. There was a sudden look of contempt on his face, and Ronon almost felt bad. Almost, but not quite. This new guy was defiantly starting to tick him off.

Ronan leaned back against the tree behind him, cradling his arm. It hurt like heck, even if he wasn't about to admit it, somehow it was worse than before, and wet, very wet. And he was cold for some reason, shivering cold. That was strange because it had seemed so warm before. Ronan looked at the strange man from the blue box, but his eyes couldn't quite focus on him. Everything faded.
