THE RAGE OF A NOX
"Jomar?...JOMAR" shouts Raina as she sees Jomar holding his hands a few inches away from his stomach covered in blood.
Jomar collapses to the floor and everyone including Chaya and Lya run over to him.
"Medical team to the control room." shouts Teyla as she activates Atlantis' comms.
Raina, Lya and Chaya kneel around Jomar with tears in their eyes and Raina rests his head on her knees, stroking his hair.
"Oh Jomar." says Chaya.
"Can you heal him?" says Sheppard.
"Our healing powers don't work on the Novum." replies Chaya.
Everyone looks on in complete disbelief at what just happened, the Commander is absolutely merciless and they now know he will not stop and he will do anything to make his plans a reality.
"O...O...O'Neill." stutters Jomar.
"I'm here kid, you're going to be alright." says O'Neill as he comes around and holds Jomar's hand.
"D..Don't let them...hur...hurt Alisana." says Jomar, "Promise...me." he says.
O'Neill looks up at everyone standing around, then he looks back at Jomar, "I promise." he says.
Dr Keller rushes in to the control room with a medical team, she's never seen Chaya or Lya but knows who they are, she politely asks them to get out of the way so she can try and help Jomar, Raina refuses to move, Chaya and Lya stand up and slightly out of the way so Keller can work.
Keller gets to work treating Jomar's wounds, attempting to stop the bleeding, administering pain killers and setting up an IV, but Jomar stop breathing.
"He's stop breathing." says Keller who swings around and starts doing compressions on his chest and breathing in to his mouth.
"Paddles!...Clear!" shouts Keller as she attempts to jump start his heart and continues mouth to mouth.
"Come on." says Keller, "Breath!" she says.
After trying desperately to revive Jomar, her efforts are in vein.
"I'm sorry, he's gone." says Keller with her head lowered.
"Jomar." says Raina who reaches out and holds Chaya's hand, then they both lean forward and cry with great sadness, everyone in the room falls silent and lower their heads in respect for Jomar and they all feel the loss and sadness.
Lya who is crying, turns around and slowly makes her way to the outside balcony on Atlantis, unseen by the others. She seems lost and devastated at Jomar's death, a few minutes pass and her feelings of sadness start turning to anger which is quickly becoming visible in her eyes, she steps to the balcony railing and holds on to it staring in to the darkness of space.
One by one the people in the control room lift their heads as they feel slight vibrations at their feet, the vibrations get faster and louder slowly sending everyone off balance, the control consoles start vibrating and the display screens gently swing, then a violent shift throws everyone off their feet and crashing in to the walls, consoles and the floor.
"McKay" shouts Sheppard, "What's happening?" he asks.
McKay makes his way to a console while fighting the vibrations and trying to stay on his feet, he gets to his laptop to see what's going on.
"Atlantis is in hyperspace." shouts McKay.
"Well shut it off." shouts O'Neill.
"I can't" shouts McKay.
"Why not?" shouts Sheppard.
"Because the drive isn't even on line." replies McKay.
"Then how are we moving?" asks Sheppard.
"I don't know." replies McKay.
Everyone is confused at what's going on and Chaya looks around, "Where's Lya?" she says, Ronon spots her out on the balcony, "She's on the balcony." he shouts.
"This is impossible, we're travelling three times faster than hyperspace." shouts McKay, "At these speeds, Atlantis will break apart." he adds.
Chaya gets to her feet and makes her way to the balcony and O'Neill follows her.
Lya is out on the balcony with feelings of extreme anger flowing through her, she's controlling Atlantis and using it to chase after the Verdain ships that entered hyperspace. As Atlantis passes by planets while in hyperspace, streams of light appear to be being gathered from them and forming a large mass in front of Atlantis.
Atlantis gains on the Verdain ships, as it approaches the first few ships from behind, streams of light shoot of the the large mass and destroys them.
"Lya stop!" shouts Chaya as she stumbles out on to the balcony.
Due to the vibrations and explosions it's very loud out on the balcony and it's hard to keep steady, "Lya" shouts Chaya who then falls on the floor, Atlantis keeps moving forward and gains on more Verdain ships, and Lya continues to destroy them one at a time with the light.
O'Neill makes his way out and over to Chaya and steadily helps her to her feet, together they manage to get over to the railing and stand at either side of Lya, they look out and see the Verdain ships being destroyed.
"You must stop, Lya." says Chaya.
"Why, she's destroying them." shouts O'Neill, "I say let them have it." he says.
"She's angry." shouts Chaya.
"She has a right to be." replies O'Neill.
"You don't understand, if she doesn't stop she'll kill millions of people." shouts Chaya.
"What?!" says O'Neill.
Atlantis continues pushing forward and more ships are destroyed, eventually all the Verdain ships are gone and only the Commanders remains.
O'Neill realises Alisana is on that ship, he grabs Lya by the shoulders and turns her around to face him, "Lya...Lya...listen to me." shouts O'Neill.
Lya doesn't seem to be listening and is continuing to stare angrily at the Commanders ship.
"Lya, Alisana is on that ship." shouts O'Neill, "Did you hear me. We'll get him for what he did, but not like this...you have to stop now." he says.
Atlantis gets ever closer to the Commanders ship and Chaya and O'Neill get really worried.
"I know how you feel, believe me I do. I swear to God he'll pay for what he did, you have my word on that. Stop this. Lya...Lya." shouts O'Neill.
At this point Lya slowly looks at O'Neill, "Stop." says O'Neill in a comforting tone of voice.
The Commanders ship moves away as Atlantis begins to slow, tears fall from Lya's eyes as she looks to the floor. Atlantis comes to a stop and Lya looks up at O'Neill, "Jomar" she says softly, then O'Neill holds her in an embrace and they both fall to their knees.
"I know...it's ok" says O'Neill.
Chaya kneels behind Lya and places her hand on her back, Lya feels Chaya's hand and looks at her, "I'm sorry" says Lya.
