Chapter 2

The Architect of Fate

Last time on Stargate SG-1: The Awakening... (Teal'Q's voice)

Everyone throughout the complex and even the ones on the surface were wondering what was going on with the song. The song continued to spread over the land, through cities, towns, homes, reaching everyone throughout the entire world, and even reaching those in orbit around the earth.

- -

Deep down, underneath a curtain of water just below the ocean floor covered in silt and sand, rested something massive. As the song traveled through the water, and when it went through the object, a low hum started coming from deep inside, indicating that it is coming alive once again since thousands upon thousands of years ago.

- -

Days after the song came through the stargate from Atlantis. Personnel throughout the base were running diagnostics on everything, to make sure nothing was wrong, but everything reported normal until the report of the ZPM came in. When General Landry heard what diagnostics team had to say, was something that was pretty amazing, that the ZPM that they were using, had in fact been recharged.

"I have to check something." Was all that Daniel said before running off an leaving almost everyone in confusion, except for Teal'C.

"The other ZPM's are recharged too." Daniel report when he reappeared in the room.

"You mean the dead ZPM's?" Questioned Vala with a hint of disbelief.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Surprised was etched on everyone's faces, and that was just the beginning. A few hours later the intruder alarms were going off throughout the base, and armed personal poured out of doors heading towards the gate room. When the SG-1 team made it to the control, they saw someone that they didn't think that they would see or talk to again. There standing on the bottom of the metal ramp was the glowing figure of Morgan Le Fay. She turned her eyes to SG-1 and said a statement that meant she was serious.

"We need to talk."

Daniel came down the stairs off to the side of the control and went into the gate room. He came to a stop in front of Morgan.

"It is very urgent that we talk."

"Of course, this is just surprising."

"Many more things will surprising as well."

"Follow me then."

Escorting Morgan Le Fay up the stairs to the conference where the rest of SG-1 and General Landry stood waiting for them to get there. Many had confusion written across their faces, and shock, well except for Teal'C, whose face remained emotionless. After being offered a seat and everyone else took a seat around the table, General Landry asked the main question.

"What do we need to talk about?"

"There are many things that we need to discuss, but first a question." Morgan stated. "I assume that you have had experienced a strange phenomenon with the gateway recently?"

"Indeed we have." Teal'C answered.

"This phenomenon wasn't suppose to happen at all."

"What do you mean?" Vala asked.

"I mean that when this phenomenon took place that it changed the future to an dangerous and unknown path."

"You might need to start from the very beginning." Daniel stated. "Like how this phenomenon came about."

"If I must. It was thousands of years when Atlantis was still on Earth..."

- Flashback -

Walking down the corridor that lead to a room that was used for a prominent researcher that came up with all kinds of stuff. Coming to the door and punching in a code that opened the door to reveal a young man leaning over a table working.

"I've been hearing that you have been stuck in this room again for most of the day." said Morgan while walking into the room and headed towards the young man on the far side.

"Yes, well I had figured something out and one thing after another happened that I am almost finished."

Reaching the table, she saw that sitting there was the power crystal that helped power Atlantis, but one that had its power depleted. She looked at the young man with a look that screamed 'what-the-hell-are-you-doing'. Before she could say anything he turned away from her and started working on the screen before him.

"Just, what the hell are you doing with the power crystal?"

She didn't get an answer from the young man, but instead a tone resonated throughout the room and the power crystal on the table beside her glowed brighter than ever before. It started getting brighter and brighter as another tone and another joined the tone, creating a harmony of tones, like a song. It got so bright that she had to turn away from it and keep her eyes shut tight, and it went like this for a minute, then sudden darkness. When she finally opened her eyes and was able to see, she looked to the power crystal and saw that it went back to its depleted state.

"That was the crystal itself communicating, through the glow, to the tones."

"What you trying to do? And why?"

"You should know that better than anyone else, mother." He answered before showing her the screen.

What she saw on the screen was something that had shocked her tremendously. There on the screen showed the power output of the power crystal had tripled, before returning to it's dead state. She stared at the screen in disbelief , but that then turned into anger, before turning to her son.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?"

"There's a reason why I am doing what I'm doing, mother." He replied in emotionless tone.

"AND WHAT IS THAT REASON, THAT IT IS WORTH THE RISK TO BLOW THE PLANET UP?"

"Why, because the whole future depends on it." he stated, before turning and walking out of the room.

- End Flashback -

"That experiment failed on that day, and that was the last I had seen or heard of the experiment that my son had spent so much time on, because it appeared that my son had given up, but it appears that was mistaken."

"Did you ever figured out what he meant about 'the-whole-future-depends-on-it' thing?" Daniel asked.

"No I never did and I never tried to find out."

"I thought you of all people, would've looked into it." Daniel stated in curious tone.

"Yes, I know and I should have looked into it, but at that time we were preparing to leave Earth for what you called the Pegasus galaxy, so I didn't have time, and after that I forgot about it." Morgan answered, before standing up and walked towards the the window behind her to look down upon the stargate.

"Is this just one part of your plan, my son?"

Down in Antarctica where the outpost was located at underneath the ice, was personnel from different countries of the world worked around the clock. It was late one night when the outpost lost all power to everything, even the emergency lighting didn't kick on. A minute later off to one side where there was a wall of ice, came a dull blue light that slowly grew brighter as time went by until light flooded through a hole in the wall then a bright flash of light, before going completely dark except for in the small room.

Power came back on minutes later revealing overturned stuff and people that were trying to any kind of light. Everyone gathered around, where the wall was once was, and they were looking to each other, but before they could move, lights came on in the room from the pillars, going from the entrance moving further into the room. Counsels came on with the lights which caused a door on the far end of the room to slid open and lit up the small space revealing something unbelievable. For standing there frozen was a young man, and when they looked at the young man, their minds screamed one word in disbelief, ANCIENT!

I am so sorry to everyone! I apologize for not updating in a long time. My life had gotten so busy with family in the hospital, college, homework, projects, and all that. This was the only weekend that I actually had time to post and update this story, but here it is! I am hoping to get the next chapter up by next Friday. Last but not least... Please Read and Review!
