Okay now this is chapter seven on time again! Yay! You might notice that in my stories 'in front' is one word. I always write in like that and it is now officially a word on my computer because I added it to the dictionary, along with Ahhhh, um, err, uh hmm, Mmm and duh. As well as all Atlantis-related things of course. My computer didn't recognise any of them as words! Can you believe that? Well I fixed it, it will never bother me with that again.
And, Lieutenant George Mills is my Own Character so he officially subject to copyright, not really, but I'd still prefer if you didn't copy him. Sorry, I'm rambling, here's chapter seven.
CHAPTER SEVEN: KABOOM
Weir got Lieutenant George Mills's team to assemble in front of the parallel universe machine.
"Thank you for volunteering for this mission. Remember the remotes Dr Zelenka has found for you should bring you back to this universe but they haven't been tested. Good luck," Weir said.
Zelenka sent her a worried look, afraid that the newly found remote-like machines wouldn't work. Weir had called Dr Beckett to come to the lab incase someone had injured themselves. (Which, knowing SGA-1, Weir thought was very likely.
She nodded at Zelenka, he pressed a button on the machine and it sent SGA-8 to a parallel universe to bring back the ever-troublesome SGA-1.

Sheppard turned and ran down the corridor, away from the Genii, they immediately started shooting at him. Sheppard grabbed a grenade out of his vest, pulled the pin, threw in at the Genii and then ran. He got about twenty meters before diving around a corner as the grenade exploded, the explosion was ten times larger then he'd anticipated.
Sheppard moved back around the corner, stopped and stared. There was a huge gaping hole infront of him, Sheppard looked up and saw the sky, he looked down and saw the Stargate on a whole lot of rubble, which was starting to get covered with water. Suddenly a sharp pain sot through his body, Sheppard fell against a wall passed out.

Mulder was not a happy man. The Starplate or whatever the hell it was had apparently sent Scully to another universe. He was furious at the military man for getting Scully on to the spaceship in the first place. He'd also found out from Ronon, much to his annoyance the they were part of something called the Stargate Program in their universe, which was actually a government conspiracy and when he'd finished yelling at them for that a stampeding mass of people ran past them to go deeper into the forest as the little ships started throwing down beams of light.
Teyla had annoyed him more by saying they were culling people.
Then, just to make things worse Teyla and Ronon had also been caught in a 'culling beam'. Luckily it wasn't hard to spot the ship that had taken them because a kid had hit it with a paintball gun so it was now a very colourful spaceship.
Mulder decided that he was going to get the two strangers back simply because they would know how to get Scully back. It was time to visit an old friend.

McKay and Scully had eventually (with some effort) managed to convince Ronon that they were from a parallel universe and Scully could be trusted, before telling him to get back to what he'd been doing incase, in McKay's words, 'they screwed up the universe by delaying him.'
Shortly after that a huge explosion had rung out and Atlantis had shook. They were following the sound of the explosion.
They found Sheppard sitting up against a wall next to some very charred looking walls and a huge gaping hole which extended up as well.
"What did you do?!" demanded McKay, staring at the gaping hall which had once been the tallest spire of Atlantis and then some.
Sheppard blinked at him. "I, uh, threw a grenade at the Genii, who must have been carrying some sort of very powerful explosive…"
"And some of the controls in the control room, or should I say ex-control room, can be explosive! You just blew up a large chunk of Atlantis in this universe! Do you have any idea how bad this is?" McKay asked him. "Oh we are so screwed, you particularly."
"Let me guess, there's rules about interfering with parallel universes?" guessed Sheppard, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course there are! We're not meant to be here and you just destroyed Atlantis! Interfering that badly could easily kill you!" exclaimed McKay.
"Ohhh, that's why it hurt," said Sheppard, then looked thoughtful. "I did kill Kolya, though."
Scully stared at him. "Who is this Kolya guy?"
"I already told you!" complained McKay.
"You didn't explain who he was, you only mentioned him once," Scully reminded McKay.
"Yes… well yes you're right," said McKay.
"Kolya's a real pain in the ass, and it was him who killed me in this universe," Sheppard explained.
"He did?" asked McKay.
"Yeah, I told you over the radio, he got that wraith to kill me in this universe," Sheppard replied.
"Oh yeah," said McKay.
Scully was really getting sick of being confused, it was time to call time out again.
"Okay! For those of us who don't live in crazy universes, what are you talking about?" questioned Scully.
"Oh," said McKay. "Kolya got a wraith to suck the life out of Sheppard in a prison."
Sheppard rolled his eyes. "Yes and she just had to know that."
"She asked!" pointed out McKay.
"No she didn't!" replied Sheppard. "She asked who Kolya was!"
"But then she asked what we were talking about!" snapped McKay.
"Yeah, and simply saying that Kolya got a wraith to kill me in this universe would have been fine!"
Scully decided to break in again.
"I thought you said if a wraith sucks the life out of you then your dead," she said.
"That's if it sucks out all of your life," Sheppard told her. "It feed on you, but you're not dead."
"I also remember being told when a wraith feeds on someone, the victim ages," Scully reminded them.
"They do," McKay replied. "The longer they feed on you, the more life they take. This time the wraith obviously didn't feed off you or Sheppard long enough to age you but if it had fed longer you would have. Kolya's wraith aged Sheppard."
"McKay!"
"Sorry. I was just explaining to her how the wraith takes someone's life," huffed McKay.
"Leave out the extra information," grumbled Sheppard.
Scully squinted at Sheppard. "A wraith aged you? How old are you?"
Sheppard looked quite insulted. "Just as old as I look!"
McKay snorted. "I know he acts like a five year old, but he'd not."
"Hey! I do not act like a five year old!" exclaimed Sheppard.
"Stop arguing!" snapped Scully irritably. "You keep contradicting what you're saying! First you tell me that wraith feeding ages people, which is impossible, then you tell me the Sheppard was fed on by a wraith, but he hasn't aged!"
"He was fed on by a wraith," McKay told her. "But then he helped it escape from a prison, os it gave him his life back."
"Happy now?" asked Sheppard.
"No," Scully told him, she was about as far away from happy as was possible. "What you're saying is completely and utterly impossible. Aliens exist in your universe, okay, fine, I can deal with that, I've seen your aliens. But it is impossible for a creature to feed by aging someone and forget being able to put their life back again! There would be too much strain on the creatures system to do anything near and, as I told you before, it defies all the scientific rules of life."
"Tell that to the wraith," retorted Sheppard, not wanting to repeat the same argument again. " Anyway, wraith do defy the rules of life. You can shoot them and they don't always die, you've seen that."
"Et hem. I'd hate to interrupted the argument but we are standing right next to a huge gaping hole that is very, very bad and it…" McKay looked down and froze. "And the Stargate's down there and ahhhh! We're sinking!"
"What?" asked Sheppard in alarm.
"Some of the controls in that ex-control room were highly explosive, they obviously sent a vertical line of flame right down to the ocean, you destroyed the middle of Atlantis, and now we're slowly sinking!"
"We're on water?" asked Scully cautiously.
"Yes," said Sheppard, and then doubled over slightly. McKay frowned at him.
"Are you alright?"
"No," grunted Sheppard, obviously in pain.
Suddenly the air seemed to shimmer. Sheppard groaned and passed out.
McKay glanced at Scully as the city started sinking faster.
"Help me with him. We need to get back to the wraith dart, the Starplate in this universe will probably be near there."
"He needs medical attention," Scully disagreed.
"No, he needs to get out of this universe, right now. You know the air seeming to shimmer just then? This universe has been completely screwed up from us being here! And Sheppard caused it! We all need to get out of this universe before even more bad things start happening!"
The air shimmered again. McKay's scanner beeped.
"Uh oh."
"What now?" asked Scully.
"Well I was right, my scanners picked up the Starplat4e in this universe right next to the wraith dart. But if we don't get there very soon, we, and the team from my universe that just arrived will sink with Atlantis, now help me carry Sheppard," snapped McKay.
Scully and McKay started to take Sheppard back to the dart but only got about half way there before McKay's scanner beeped again and this time the air shimmered and shook.
"What was that?" asked Scully.
"It was my scanner telling me that the hiveship from your universe just arrived here. I think only it and wraith came through but we really don't have time to check because it being here over Atlantis just disrupted what ever was left of this universe and now the whole universe is about to explode! So we need to RUN!" yelled McKay.
He and Scully took off at top speed half-dragging Sheppard behind them. They ran right into Lt Mills's team. McKay checked his scanner, which quickly confirmed that they were from his universe.
"This way, quick!" McKay ordered and the very confused team followed.
They skidded to a halt infront of the wraith dart. Scully saw the Starplate attached to a wall.
"Over here!" she yelled as McKay tried to get Lt Mills to stop asking him questions.
McKay told the confused Lieutenant to get Sheppard and then stand infront of the Starplate ("Yes the little plate with stars on it. We called it a Starplate.") and started fiddling around with his scanner.
"Ah ha! It's Gene activated!" exclaimed McKay, confusing Scully on exactly how the Genetic make up of someone could possibly help. "Stand infront of it!"
Scully moved to stand infront of it along side the other team.
McKay started pressing random symbols and stars and the plate. "Come on, come on. Get us out of here!"
The whole of Atlantis tilted and the air itself shook again.
"McKay…" started Mills.
"Yes, I know! I'm trying!" snapped McKay, who was also now trying to keep his balance on the ever-tilting floor.
He gripped the Starplate, still attached to the wall, in one hand and poked a few more symbols.
The plate finally glowed and sent out a beam of light swallowing up McKay, Scully, Sheppard, and Lt Mills's team. The universe blew up behind them.
A/N: I try to give information on where all my characters are at in each chapter, but it's hard. Oh, and of Lt Mills's team, I don't have names for the other members of his team, so could anyone give me ideas, please! I'm useless with names.
And thanks for all the great reviews I'm getting! :)
