Vegoia watched apprehensively as the Tel'tak she was on approached the main hanger bay of the Ark of Shadows. She looked around the copit and noticed that several of her Jaffa was standing too stiffly. "Do not fear my Jaffa; I am with you, together we will face this challenge with honor and courage." Vegoia said to her crew and several of her Jaffa relaxed.
"My Lady we have received landing coordinates," the helmsman informed her.
"Proceed as instructed," She commanded as she leaned back in her chair.
Vegoia thought back to the conversation between her and the unknown vessel.
Flashback
"To unknown fleet this is the Ark of Shadows, our Entil'zha wishes to speak to your leader," said a perky female voice.
"I am the Gwir System Lord Vegoia leader of this fleet. I thank you for destroying Aten's fleet; you have saved us from certain destruction," Vegoia replied. "I ask that you state who you are and where you are from?" She finished.
"I am the Entil'zha, leader of the Anla'Shok guardians of the Ark, you may call me Maelstrom," a strong deep male voice rumbled from the speakers. "We are the people from the World of Kin'sha. We have fled from the Ori in our galaxy of Origin in the Ark of Shadows to this galaxy of Avalon to rebuild our world and prepare for the coming war against the Ori." The voice finished.
"I bid you welcome and invite you aboard the Ark; I desire to meet face to face; we have much to learn from each other. You may bring 15 other personal with you to the Ark," the Entil'zha said as the link between the two vessels was terminated.
"My Lady we are receiving an information packet containing the specifications of their hanger bay and landing instructions from the Ark," her First Prime informed her.
"Have the fleet move into a spherical formation and prepare a Tel'tak for departure," Vegoia ordered her First Prime.
Flashback ends
The Tel'tak pierced through the protective energy field that surrounded the entrance of the hanger bay. Two lines of lights lit up, showing the pilot where to land the Tel'tak. A lone figure stood near the designated landing zone. As the Tel'tak landed and Vegoia's entourage disembarked, the figure approached.
"Hello, I'm your escort and guide to the Ark," the figure greeted in a perky voice.
Vegoia looked over the guide before her and she saw a young woman standing there. Recognizing the young woman's voice, Vegoia studied their liason that the msyterious Mealstrom had provided. The young woman was dressed in a dark forest green skirt that came down to mid thigh with a pale cream color top that was stretched over the upper half of her body. Over that, she had an armored olive green vest and several pouches strapped to her legs. She was wearing black armored heeled half boots and fingerless gloves with armored plates to complete her outfit. She stood around 5'6" and had shoulder length brunette hair and had forest green eyes.
"Greetings I am Vegoia," she replied.
"My name is Motoko Wyn'dan, would you please follow me," the now identified Motoko said as she started to lead them deeper into the ship.
As the party followed Motoko, Vegoia discretely studied the construction of the Ark as they walked it corridors. She noticed the lack of any decorative material in the stark gray corridors. She also did not sense any naquahda in the metal; this shocked her because naquahda was essential to the construction of Gwir spaceships. The party stopped before a large door.
"I warn you not to be alarmed at what you see beyond this door, do not point your weapons at anything inside. You are under the protection of Maelstrom and will not be harmed as long as you do not take any hostile actions," said Motoko as she typed in the door codes. "This is the summon toad forest; of which, we must enter to reach my master" she said as the doors started to open.
To the surprise of the Vegoia and her party beyond the doorway was a beautiful forest with gigantic trees that were at least 15 meters round and 70 to 100 meters tall. As they follow their guide, the party almost forgot they were even on a spaceship. A slight wind rustled the tree leaves and moved the grass beneath their feet. While following Motoko the Jaffa and Vegoia were amazed at the variety of wildlife and birds in the forest.
Suddenly a loud buzzing noise appeared; looking up the party saw a gigantic insect at least 15 meters in length flying over them. Seemingly, out of nowhere a large tongue shot out and grabbed the flying insect. Following the path of the tongue Vegoia saw a gigantic red amphibian munching down on it treat.
"Hold your weapons," Motoko commanded, halting the startled Jaffa from taking action. "These toads are the master's friends and allies," she continued as she waved towards the huge toad.
"Ah... Motoko-chan is these people the outsiders the brat spoke of?" Ask the toad surprising Vegoia's party.
"Yes Bunta-sama, I am leading them to Master Maelstrom now," replied Motoko with a small bow of respect.
After exchanging farewells, Motoko promising to visit soon, the party continued on their way. Still reeling in shock over the talking giant amphibian Vegoia's party followed Motoko numbly. After an hour of walk the group approached a tal and large circular building, upon entering the building Vegoia felt a thrum of power vibrating the air that sent a tingle through her real body. "There is something powerful and ancient here," she thought as they followed Motoko up several flights of stairs and approach two large doors.
As they got close to the doors, they swung out seemingly on by themselves. Slightly disturbed by this display, Vegoia stepped in cautiously and had her first look at the one called Maelstrom. He stood with his back to them wearing a red Haroi with black flames creeping up it from the hem. On the back were strange symbols arranged vertically that glowed with a bluish light. As he turned towards them, Vegoia noticed that he stood around 6' tall and had long bright spiky blond hair that hung down his back. He had a turtle necked long sleeved black shirt and dull orange pants on under his red Haroi. Topping off his outfit wore black armored sandals and a headband around his forehead that had a metal plate with a symbol engraved on it attached.
"Greetings I am Maelstrom, Entil'zha of the Anla'Shok," he said in a deep voice with a small bow towards Vegoia.
"I am the Gwir System Lord Vegoia," Vegoia replied with a small nod of her head. "This is My First Prime Tona'c and my elite guard," she finished while introducing her entourage.
"Great, now that the greetings are done let us sit and talk with one another," Maelstrom said while guiding Vegoia towards a table with several chairs and a pitcher of water and glasses on it. As she sat down Vegoia observed that her host had three whisker marks on each cheek and deep blue eyes that seem to shift their hue depending on the angle.
"I would like to know who and what you are first; I can sense that there is more than one soul in your body. And who was Aten, why did he attack my vessel?" Asked Maelstrom beginning the talks.
Shocked that he could sense her true form Vegoia began to give the history of her people. "I am of a race of symbiotes who take a host from other life forms. I am the last of the Gwir..."
Ten hours later.
As the Tel'tak left the Ark and moved towards her fleet, Vegoia thought over what she had discussed with Maelstrom. They had decided to enter into an alliance and combine their forces. The first thing would do is strike at as many of Aten's worlds as possible before the other Goa'uld noticed his destruction and take as many ships, people and resources as they could undetected. Vegoia wanted to do this because much of Aten's worlds had been hers before the fall of the Gwir Lords. Then using Vegoia's knowledge of Goa'uld territory they would head for a system far from their influence and rebuild their respective civilizations.
Vegoia was still in shock from when she had realized that the planet from the Ancient's "Legend of Origin" was Kin'sha, the world of her new ally. Moreover, that Maelstrom's people had fled from an enemy on par with the Ancients. Turning to Tona'c, Vegoia consider her options.
"Have the fleet ready to jump to the closest of Aten's shipyards when we dock with the flagship," she ordered. "When ready transmit the coordinates to the Ark and jump into hyperspace," she finished.
Within an hour, the combined fleet formed up and jumped to their first target in a series of attacks and raids on Aten's former territory.
1,000bc. to 1998ad.
The utter destruction of Aten and his domain marked the end of the three hundred-year civil war between the Goa'uld and the Gwir. With the death of Aten, Ra claimed uncontested leadership of the Goa'uld Empire. The Gwir passed into myth and legend kept alive by the Jaffa elders. It was well known that Aten went after the last of the Gwir System Lords and the utter devastation visited upon his worlds was seen as the wrath of the ghosts of the Gwir. A rumor persists to this day despite Goa'uld attempts to silence it. That Vegoia lives and will one day bring the wrath of the Gwir upon the heads of the System Lords.
Also shortly after the end of the civil war a legend began about a behemoth of a ship and a moon that would appear behind it as the ship jumped around the galaxy. It is said that if it appears, death follows its wake. Several Goa'uld worlds were attacked and the only survivors were on the planets; all of the space forces had been destroyed. The survivors all reported the same thing. A gigantic ship and a new moon appearing in the sky and after several hours it would disappear leaving nothing but the dead in its wake. It was noted by some that these worlds all had been former strongholds and capitals of the Gwir Empire.
Tales about the Death Ship and the wrathful Gwir passed into legend and myth as centuries than millennium passed, kept alive by the Jaffa elders. For almost three thousand years, Ra and the Goa'uld ruled unchallenged except by the pitiful Tok'ra.
All that changed with the death of Ra. The Goa'uld Empire dissolved into open civil war as each System Lord fought for power. The cause of this change was the Tau'ri and with their incursion into the galaxy, the old powers awoke and took note of them. The Tau'ri stirred up more than the Goa'uld and the beliefs of the Jaffa. The Shadows watched and took note of them too.

Kin'sha means 'Shadow Warrior(s)'
Chapter 2!
Ok how many are mad I cut off the history of the Gwir?
All will be revealed in its due time.
The Episode Sg1 I will be inserting this story into is from season 3's episode 1 "Serpents Lair" I believe it is called. After that episode, everything will be AU.
I like to think those who reviewed.
darkplayer35, naruhina-namikaze, Trife, Naginator, apocalyps24, RoyalTwinFangs, Bluntag, and Fumetsu Kaji thank you for reviewing it really helped.
I am willing to answer the questions.
naruhina-namikaze: Yes someone else has used the "Imperium class ship" in a Naruto/Sga crossover first. That is where I found out about it. The Gwir are not Tok'ra. They came before; in fact many of the Tok'ra beliefs are founded on Gwir principles. The Tok'ra was more of a movement back to the time of the Gwir.
RoyalTwinFangs: The people on board the Ark besides Naruto and his PKBs are not in the Alteran style stasis because their bodies would age like the crew of the Aurora. I think I'm going to go with that parts of the Ark have a time dilation field that has an effect similar to the Asgard trap for the replicators. So for them only a few years have passed. No clone armies. The PKBs are based on Babylon 5's Rangers or Anla'Shok, so they are master spies and elite warriors.
Trife pointed out my mistake on chapter one when I had put the moon at 100,000 kilometers in diameter. Thank you, Trife for correcting me.
Please Review.
I will be asking my beta soon if she will beta this. Yes there are mistakes but as soon as possible they will be corrected.
PathKeeper out.
