"Is the team on board?" Asked Colonel Steven Caldwell the commander of the Daedalus.
"No, there is no sign of Sheppard or his team on either Wraith ship. Wait… I got them!" Answered an over exited man at a computer. He is a rookie who replaced the person who was supposed to be at that post and like all rookies was over exited about traveling on the Daedalus.
"Understood. Contact Weir and tell her were ready. Also, contact Apollo and tell them to stand by for combat," Caldwell gave his orders out and walked up to his chair, he sat down.
"Sir, a message from the Apollo."
"Lets hear it."
"Caldwell, I have a lock on Sheppard as well as his team," said a voice that sounded like Colonel Abe Ellis.
"Understood, we'll fight off both Wraith ships and you'll beam them onto your ship. Then we'll work together to take care of both cruisers."
"Understood. Good luck."
"Good luck."
"Sir, Weir has given us the go," The same rookie said with a grin. Rookies. Caldwell thought to himself.
"Disengage hyper drive, bring full shield generator power to forward shields and engage the first ship with forward rail guns."
"Yes sir."
The two sister ships side by side appeared from a blue like vortex. One of the two fired off several missiles right away and it's rail guns firing off its first wave of rounds. The Wraith cruiser had no hope. Caught complete off guard and with out shields the missiles hit their target. The hanger exploded and caused a chain reaction of explosions destroying the ship with a blue shock wave. The Apollo had already beam Sheppard's team and what they saw shocked the bridge crew.
"Beam him to medic area!" Ordered Ellis. An unconscious Rodney lay on the floor with some blood pouring out the back of his neck before he disappeared in a blue light. Sheppard, Ronon and Teyla however were ok and standing with a confused face.
"Glad to see you…What happen to McKay?" Asked Sheppard.
"You tell me, but for now head to the medic area," said Ellis.
"Sir! Daedalus has already started on the second ship," said a female officer at a computer.
"We need to get help for McKay! We don't have time or this!" Sheppard yelled with a slightly loud tone.
"Tell the Daedalus that we're coming. Line us up with the Wraith ship."
The Wraith cruiser and its crew knew full well what was coming; they lost shields, weapons and engines. So, they deiced to bring down one of their foes with them.
"What is that Wraith ship doing," asked Caldwell
"I don't know sir…" The rest of the rookie's words were unheard as a large explosion erupted above the Daedalus. The Wraith cruiser self-destructed and the blue shock wave weakened the Daedalu's shields to a dangerous level. The explosion it self and the debris of the Wraith cruiser disabled the shield all-thoughter. After the explosion, a breached in the left side of the daedalus can be clearly seen as well derbies of the Daedalus and the bodies of crew members being vented out into space.
"Statues report! What happened?!" Asked Caldwell yelling. Several crewmembers were fighting a small fire in the back of the bridge. Bodies of wounded and the dead laid on the floor, which was most, the people in the room. Even Caldwell was on the floor, but he quickly got up.
"Where's that report?" Caldwell looked towards where his new crewmember was seated. The body laid limb on the computer as blood poured out of several places on his body. A person who just entered the bridge removed the body and checked the computer.
"Sir, the left hanger has been beached as well as two other places on the left side of the ship. Shit! The air lock doors failed to close! Everyone in the hanger is presumed dead. Thirty-eight crew personnel uncounted for!"
"How 'bout systems?" Asked Caldwell.
"Shields are gone, weapons gone, sub-light engines gone, but we do have hyper drive at fifty percent power!" The fire in the back was taken out, but to be replaced with sparks coming out of the wall.
"See if you can contact Apollo!" Caldwell said before falling over unconscious.
"Sir, a message from the Daedalus," Said a man at a computer.
"Lets hear it," Said Colonel Abe Ellis.
"Mayday! Mayday! This is Daedalus to Apollo. We have taken heavy damage," Static covered up part of the S.O.S call, but then it started up again. "Repeat Caldwell is unconscious, we have taken heavy loses. We are falling back to Atlantis! Also…" The sound of sparks or maybe someone yelling took over the background noise. "We have lost weapons and shields we need escort. Over."
"Sir the message is over and the Daedalus is going into hyper drive."
"Follow them and stay close to them no matter what. I'm going to the medic area. Helmsmen you have the bridge," Ordered Colonel Abe Ellis.
"Yes sir," Ellis left the bridge as well as Sheppard, Ronon and Telya behind him.
"What's wrong with McKay?" Asked Ellis.
"I. We don't know. The Wraith just took him away."
"At least they didn't feed on him," Stated Ronon.
"I don't have a good feeling about this. I sense that the Wraith did something to him, but I don't know what," Said Telya.
"We're about to find out," Ellis walking into an elevator and the three members of the team followed. The doors closed and the elevator went up two levels.
A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating! I didn't update at first because I got lazy. Then schoolwork got in the way and then I got lazy… again. So, I'll do my best to update once a week, but school might get in the way… again. So R&R (Read & Review), but you don't have to review, just read and I'll be happy. A review won't kill you though.
