Stargate Atlantis
Season 6
Episode 14
It has been 3 weeks since Jenny was taken by the Wraith and there hasn't been any word about her whereabouts. The Pegasus Expedition have check with their contacts none have heard anything about a Lantian prisoner among the Wraith. Todd hasn't even been in contact with them. General Horton has no idea what the Wraith are doing to her or did they just fed on her. The Noah engage a Wraith Cruiser and disable it. Heath and eight Lantian Marines are beamed onboard the cruiser. They discover the Wraith are against Queen Death but they have no information about his wife. They're beamed back onboard and reenter hyperspace. They return to Aquarius. Colonel Sheppard and several others have asks to rename the base too Pegasus Stargate Command and PSC for short. General Horton saw no reason in it so he decided to see how it works. The PSC will now be Pegasus Stargate Command and the teams will be PR-1 for Pegasus Reconnaissance Team 1 and so forth.
The PSG have no clue about an old enemy living in another part of Pegasus. This old enemy arrived several months ahead of the first expedition to Atlantis. Four months before the Atlantis Expedition arrived in Pegasus the first time, Two Ha'Tak arrived over an uninhabited world near the void between Pegasus and the Mikey Way. They encountered a single Hive ship which is easily destroyed. Alkesh and Teltac land on the planet. Jaffa Warriors and Anubis soldiers exit from the ships and begin searching the planet. A group of Jaffa commanded by the First Prime of Hades discovered a Stargate. Hades was loyal to Anubis so Anubis gave him a battalion of his soldiers and a dozen of his Ninja Jaffa. Hades is Anubis son. Two days later after searching the planet the First Prime of Hades makes his report to his god. "Milord, we've found a Stargate on the planet's surface and several abandon/destroyed cities looks like they were destroyed long ago." Hades throne room aboard the HA'TAK is surrounded by Anubis soldiers.
"I shall return to the surface with you." Hades says. His First Prime bows. "Zeus, establish Death Glider patrols around this planet."
"At once milord," he says bowing again and exiting. Hades fleet left the Mikey Way after his father's defeat over Antarctica. They've found Pegasus by accident he has no clue this is where the Ancients left too. The next day Hades arrives on the surface with Zeus using the Rings. He is taken to the first city they found. He likes what he sees.
"Begin construction immediately."
"Milord, we don't have enough slaves to work on the city," Zeus replies.
"Then find me some or the Jaffa can help the slaves," Hades tells him.
"As you wish milord," he replies. A Jaffa patrol finds a source of Naquadah. Hades is surprise and happy. A Jaffa squad hidden in the woods near the gate see the gate activating. Twelve hunters emerge through the gate. They're immediately surrounded by two dozen Jaffa Warriors and eight Kull Warriors. One of Hades officers are commanding them. Twelve more Kull Warriors are protecting Hades when the Jaffa brings the prisoners before him. They're place on their knees.
"How many of you are you?" Hades asks. A hunter sees his eyes glow. The human didn't answer. A Jaffa standing behind the human hits him in the back with the backend of his Staff weapon. "You will answer your god when he asks you a question slave." He still didn't answer so the Jaffa shoots one of the hunter by him.
"We're the only ones on this world. There are a 102 of us on a planet we had to leave our homeworld after the Wraith attacked. I'll give you the gate address."
"Who are the Wraith?" the hunter looks at them with an expression how did he never heard of the Wraith before.
"They rule the galaxy and destroy all technological advance people they started this after the war with the Ancestors." Hades guess the Ancestors must be the Ancients but he can tell this human knows nothing of advance weapons. Hades ignores him as he tries to explain the Wraith. They're sent to begin mining Naquadah. Hades dispatches a battalion of Jaffa to bring the others through the Stargate. They're put them to work along with the slaves they bought with them from the Mikey Way. They discover another gate address. Zeus sends several squads through the gate to the world they found on a stone tablet. They discover a civilization thriving and its level of technology is similar to Earth during the 80s. They report back to Zeus who reports to Hades. Hades dispatches a HA'TAK and several Alkesh to take the planet and bring back more slaves and for those who will become more Jaffa. The HA'TAK leaves orbit and enters hyperspace. They arrive in orbit above the planet and Alkesh and Death Gliders are sent down. The plant's air force attack them but they're no match for the Goa'uld advance technology. The Alkesh deploys ground troops. They crush all resistance the survivors are transported to the ships using Rings and then the HA'TAK renter's hyperspace. They return to the planet. The newcomers are put to work a 200 are selected to become Jaffa. Three months pass no Wraith appear over the planet or through the gate. A month later 5 Wraith come through the gate. Several Jaffa are nearby and immediately engage the Wraith. The Jaffa can withstand several hits from the Wraith stun weapons the Wraith can withstand a blast from the Jaffa's ZAT'NIKETEL but not a second shot. The Jaffa spared one Wraith and bring him before Hades. Hades use his Ribbon Device on the Wraith to gain information. The Wraith didn't even flinch which surprise Hades but he wouldn't show it to his Jaffa. He orders a Kull Warrior to shoot the Wraith twice. The Kull Warrior does as ordered. The Wraith gives Hades the information he seeks smiling as the Kull Warrior finishes him off. Hades gives the order for two of his HAT'TAKs to attack the Wraith with three battalions attacking through the Chaapa'ai. One battalion is made up of Kull Warriors. The first Jaffa through are surprise to see 3 dozen Wraith on the other side.
"Tal shak!" A Jaffa lieutenant says. The Jaffa fired on the Wraith with their Staff Weapons the Wraith return fire with their stunners. Eight Kull Warriors appeared behind them and open fire forcing the Wraith to retreat. The Wraith weren't prepare for an invasion by Stargate. Darts are sent down from the orbiting Hives and Cruisers to help the Wraith infantry. The Goa'uld are pushing the Wraith towards their stronghold when word reach the Jaffa Commander the fleet arrived. Death Gliders and Alkesh are launched. Hades didn't know the planet belongs to the Wraith Empire and not to the fraction which split from the Empire. A Super Hive destroys several Alkesh despite their cloak. The shields of the Goa'uld vessels are not match for the Super Hives weapons. The forces Hades sent are destroyed. Many Jaffa warriors will become food for the Wraith since their symbiote allow them to live long even after they're fed on. The only troops who return are the Kull Warriors but they too had casualties from the Wraith lethal weapons. A group of Jaffa hear rumors of the Tauri in the galaxy so Hades ordered his Jaffa to stay away from them and to not let the Tauri know they're in the galaxy. Neither Wraith nor the Tauri bothered the Goa'uld world for six years. One occasion after Colonel Samantha Carter took over Atlantis a Jaffa scouting expedition almost ran into the Wraith and the Tauri under the command of Colonel Horton as the Tauri and Wraith were in a firefight near the gate. They watch as the Wraith are defeated and the Tauri return through the Stargate.
On Aquarius also known as the PSC General Horton arrives in the gateroom it's been 4weeks now since Jenny has been in the hands of the Wraith loyal to Queen Death. Two weeks ago they got some reinforcements from the SGC which surprise many to see Jaffa along with three squads of soldiers' mostly new recruits straight from SGC selection but commanded by Lieutenant Krone Douglas who was a member of General Horton SG team when he was at Stargate Command. RY'A'C and Kar'yn are leading the Jaffa Warriors and what surprise Heath to find Kar'yn pregnant with RY'A'Cs child. Heath knows RY'A'C pretty well but haven't seen him since he left for Pegasus. He says hi to them both as well as Lieutenant Krone. Heath knows they'll get his wife and unborn child back. Colonel Sheppard's team arrive in the gateroom ready to disembark for P135 since they ask for Rodney's help. John says goodbye and they go through the gate. He knows Major Rhodes and Jarvis are working on improving Aquarius Drones. They received the daily data bust from Earth. Doctor Radiack Zelenka informs him the Hammond had to return to Earth because of some problems with the Asgard Core and the ships engines some believe it to be sabotage by the Lucian Alliance. The Daedalus on the other hand is still on its way and she's carrying the mining equipment plus 18 new personal for the base. Most of the personal are military with four civilians. The Daedalus first stop will be to drop off the mining equipment on BX142. He tries not to think about what the Wraith might not be doing her especially with what happen to Teyla in Michael's hands. He starts with paperwork that he's been neglecting over the last several weeks but decide the paperwork will keep him busy. Doctor Zelenka knocks on his door. "Enter, he tells him." Zelenka enters his office. "Heath, I need to show you something on the long range sensors." He follows Zelenka to the control room. He looks at the long range sensors.
"I don't see anything," he says. Radiack types a few buttons on a laptop. The screen shows thirteen ships heading to a planet near Aquarius. Heath knows AR-6 checked out the planet a week after they arrived and found the people there are primitive to that of Earth during the Revolutionary War. "Are they Wraith?"
"No their Goa'uld," Zelenka says. "Look at the ships." Heath looked at the ships again and they look just like Alkesh.
"What are the Goa'uld doing here? The Goa'uld System Lords are all dead. BA'Al was the last of the System Lords and the Tok'ra removed his symbiote SG-1 was present for the extraction." Heath says.
"Maybe a minor Goa'uld left the galaxy before their fall and arrived in Pegasus." Zelenka says. He knows he can't let the Goa'uld attack the planet. He turns to Amelia.
"Contact Captain Dave and tell him to ready one of the Aurora-Class Battleships for launch." Amelia nods. "Assemble PR-7 through 8 for an off world mission. The two off world teams board two Puddle Jumpers and dial the gate for SZ145. The Aurora-class battleship leaves the hanger and exits the atmosphere as soon as it clears the atmosphere it jumps into hyperspace. They arrive in orbit of SZ145 two hours before the Goa'uld do. The Puddle Jumpers on the surface report no signs of Jaffa on the planet and the civilians have seen anyone matching the description of the race the teams describe. The 13 Alkesh exit from hyperspace. They're surprise to see a Tauri vessel already there. The lead Alkesh commanded by one of Hades lieutenant opens up a channel to the ship.
"Stand down this planet has been claimed by Lord Hades to be part of his kingdom." The Jaffa Warrior says.
"Your ships are no match for this cruiser this planet is under the protection of the Lantians," Captain Dave says back at the Jaffa commander. The Alkesh started to power their weapons. The Alkesh attack the lone Lantian Battlecruiser. Their weapons had no effect on the Lantian ship shields. Two Drones are fired and the four Alkesh are destroyed from the two Drones. The Alkesh turned around and flee they open up a hyperspace window but one more is destroyed by a Drone before it could make its jump to hyperspace. One Puddle Jumper is ordered to stay on SZ145 in case the Goa'uld or the Wraith show up. Captain Dave orders the ship to return to base.
A day later after John's team return form P135 they're in a conference room with Zelenka, Ford, and Tristan. RY'A'C is also present along with Captain Dave. "The Jaffa warrior mention his master is Hades has anyone ever heard of this Goa'uld before?" Heath asks them.
"I only know the Hades from Greek Mythology," Rodney says.
"He can't be a System Lord we knew all of them," Zelenka says.
"RY'A'C, have you heard of him?" Heath asks. He shakes his head.
"He must be a low level Goa'uld we'll contact the SGC to see if we can get any information on him maybe the Tok'ra will have something," heath tells them. "Captain Dave, your report please."
"We sent a Puddle Jumper with hyperspace drive to the coordinates were we believe the Goa'uld ships return too. We discover these images." A screen is lower the lights dim. The images show two Goa'uld HA'TAKs in orbit with Death Gliders patrolling the area. The cloak Puddle Jumper moves closer and enters a debris field of several Wraith ships.
"Apparently they took the planet away from the Wraith," Ronon says. The cloak Jumper continue towards the planet. The pictures/video show a city on the surface.
"Yep the Goa'uld are sitting up a kingdom in this galaxy." Rodney says.
"Not if we have anything to say about it," Heath replies.
"You don't plan on wiping them out there the last of their race," Zelenka says.
"No, but we will forge a new treaty similar to what the Asgard had in the Mikey Way."
"I'm surprise the Wraith haven't destroyed them yet," Teyla says.
"They want as long as they don't bring the wrath of the Wraith upon them, but knowing the Goa'uld they will." A marine sergeant enters the conference room and whispers a message into Heath's ear. "We have ships heading this way it's the Goa'uld."
"How did they find us?" John asks.
"They could've asks someone who knows or gate address or followed cloak, but our sensors would've picked them up," Rodney replies.
"It doesn't matter now. John I want all military personal ready for combat. Captain Dave the Noah and two Aurora-class Battlecruisers in orbit as our first line of defense."
"Yes sir," John and Dave reply.
"Rodney, are the ODPs operational?"
"The ones around the planet are operational but not those out in the galaxy protecting the planet no," he answers.
"How long before the Goa'uld arrive?" RY'A'C asks.
"Three hours maybe four," Rodney tells them looking at his tablet.
"Heath, we should send word to the SGC and asks them to send some help like my father." RY'A'C says. The meeting ends. Heath goes tells Chuck to dial the SGC. Chuck dials the gate and Heath sends IDC through. Heath inform them of the Goa'uld General Landry as well as Doctor Jackson are shocked by the news. General Hank Landry promises to send them help. Heath is confident if the Goa'uld decide to attack them their weapons would destroy them. They prepare for the Goa'uld arrival. Heath asks Doctor Beckett to take one of the chairs while John takes the other. Beckett agrees. Deja will handle the Energy weapons. The Stargate lights up. Chuck raise the gate shield. He looks at his computer and sees the IDC is Stargate Command. Teal'c arrived with two SG teams along with MALPS with grates. The security teams guarding the gate help them unpack. Teal'c says hello to his son and daughter in law. In the crates are TER (Transphase Eradication Rod) and Energy weapon for the Kull Warriors. Since Heath informed the SGC the Goa'uld as Kull Warriors with him. Doctor Jackson also came through the gate to help with an agreement with the Goa'uld. Teal'c comes up to Heath. They shake hands.
"How are General Horton," he says.
"Ok, I'll be better when we get her back."
"We'll get her back the SGC has never left anyone behind and SG-1 will do whatever it can to help you."
"Thank you Teal'c," he says.
"Indeed," Teal'c says. Heath has never grown tired of hearing Teal'c say indeed since he been a member of the SGC or the Atlantis Expedition. Ronon and Teal'c clasp hands and just stared at each other. He remembers the first time Teal'c arrived in Pegasus. They pass out the energy weapons to the military personal and they place them on their weapons.
Three hours later the Goa'uld ships exit from hyperspace only a few yards from the planet. The Goa'uld ships didn't move since the two Lantian ships are in their way. "Sir, we have a transmission from one of the ships." Zelenka tells him.
"Put it on screen audio and video but I don't want them able to see us," Heath tells Zelenka.
"Greeting Lantian or is Tauri. My name is Zeus First Prime of Hades my master request an audience with your leader." Heath and the others look at him. They didn't recognize him.
"Open up a channel," he says. Rodney opens up a channel. "Tell your master we will permit a small transport to land he must not bring his Kull Warriors with him and no weapons. If any ships of his attempt to move closer to the planet we will see it as an act of violence and destroy his fleet." Zeus turns to someone in the background which Heath assumes his Hades and talks to him.
"My Master accept your terms." The transmission ends. A Scout ship launches from the HA'TAK and heads towards the planet surface. Heath turns towards John.
"Send a team of Lantian Marines to meet them. Jarvis, you will meet them and bring them to the conference room. Make sure all security teams are on high alert I don't trust the Goa'uld. The city sensors have already been calibrated to detect Goa'uld even if they have a cloak." Jarvis heads to the surface to the landing pad which they just finish. The top towers are being replaced to make this base look like it did when the Lantians rule the galaxy. The Goa'uld shuttle lands. The ramp drops. Four Ninja Jaffa exit follow by four Jaffa Warriors. They stand to the side Hades exits.
"Follow me, Prince Horton will see you in the conference room." Jarvis tells him. Hades follows behind Jarvis while his Ninja warriors follow behind him leaving the other Jaffa behind. Four Lantian Marines remain behind to watch the Jaffa Warriors. The other four help escort the Goa'uld to the conference room. Hades sees several rebel Jaffa looking at him but none attempt to harm him. Tauri soldiers are also present in the hallways. They reach the conference room. General Horton is waiting outside with Rodney, Colonel Sheppard, and Teal'c. Hades notice Teal'c.
"What is the Shol'va doing here?" Hades asks.
"Teal'c is here representing the Free Jaffa Nation which was formed after Anubis was defeated on Dakara. All the System Lords have been defeated you're the last of the Goa'uld." Heath says to him. Hades look at him like he dares defy his god. "You think I'm joking I can assure you it's true. The Mikey Way Galaxy is free from the Goa'uld yet your technology has fallen into hands of the Lucian Alliance which rose after much of the Goa'uld territory fell after the System Lords were killed by the Replicators and Anubis was defeated. Many Jaffa joined the Free Jaffa Nation. Why are you here?"
"We wish to form an alliance with you. We have heard of your success against the abominations called the Wraith. We have tried to eliminate them but my fleet was decimated," Hades reply. He can tell Hades as another agenda. First rule never trust a Goa'uld O'Neil always said that.
"Why don't you tell me who are you and how you got to Pegasus?"
"I'm Hades ruler of the Underworld and son of Anubis," he says. "After my father's defeat over your precious Earth I decided since you're people had access to Ancient technology we wouldn't stand a chance so my three HA'TAK enter hyperspace to find worlds were we would be bothered by the Tauri and rebuild the Goa'uld Empire to one day return and conqueror all we lost. A short while after we arrive and found a suitable planet uninhabited my own offworld teams heard rumors of a people who live in the cities of the Ancestors so I sent my first prime to find out who these people are and when he told me it was the Tauri."
"Since we've been here we haven't heard about you Snakes," Heath says.
"You want an alliance against the Wraith. What else do you want?"
"Just to be left alone," he says smiling. Heath knew right then Hades was up to something. On the landing pad, five US Marines arrive to relive the Lantian Marines. All of sudden they're hit in by multiple Staff Weapons. A dozen Jaffa Warriors appeared out of the shuttle along with ten Kull Warriors. The other 4 Jaffa move towards the door. A sniper team in one of the towers use their radios to tell Colonel Jason what happen. Instead of causing panic on the base. Colonel Jason contacts Major Lorne and tell him to take security teams 5-7 and take care of the Jaffa. Jason then radios Doctor Zelenka who informs a marine corporal to tell John so they don't tip off Hades. The marine enters and whispers into John's ear.
"Excuse me I must brief an offworld team," he says and nods to General Horton. He leaves and Zelenka fills him in. he contacts Lorne who tells him the Jaffa and Kull Warriors have been dealt with. The Goa'uld transports beings taking off. However Serena dispatches two Unman Interceptors and they blow the transport out of the sky despite having their shields raise. Hades heard the explosion. He pulls out a hidden ZAT and fires it at General Horton. The energy never made contact with him. "Impossible," he says.
"No not impossible when you're an Ancient," Heath says. "Jarvis, told you I was a prince but I'm a prince from two of the most powerful species the Ancients and the Wraith. The Ninja Jaffa attempt to go for their weapons but they find them missing. Heath makes them appear on the table. "I thought you might not have the powers like your father had. You have only the gadgets of the Goa'uld. All of sudden he's beamed up. Heath exits the conference room followed by Teal'c and Rodney.
"Heath, I thought they couldn't get a ship close enough without being detected," Teal'c said.
"Oh, they were detected alright," Rodney says. "It's part of Heath's plan."
"Serena, fire," Heath says. The Energy Weapons locked onto the Goa'uld ship despite its cloak and shield and created its own solar system with its debris.
"Is that the end of Hades?" Rodney asks.
"No, that wasn't even him just a look alike the rule one is probably on their world."
"You knew it wasn't him."
"Yes, but when he attempted to use a ZAT I knew," heath says.
"You didn't read his mind?" Rodney asks.
"I read it that's why those soldiers weren't killed. They were wearing a type of vest to withstand the Goa'uld Staff Weapons curtesy of the SGC." The Goa'uld ships powered up weapons and begin firing on the Noah and the Aurora-Class Battlecruiser. The Goa'uld weapons have no effect. The Noah fires one blast and destroys the HA'TAK. Zeus made is escape before the ship is lost. The other Goa'uld ships open up hyperspace windows and flee.
"You know this want be the last time we see them," John says.
"Indeed," Teal'c replies.
"What's our next move?" John asks.
"We do what we always do?" Heath replies. "Keep exploring but now keep an eye out for the Goa'uld."
"You know we should name those ships," John says.
"I have some names," Rodney says.
"You're not naming anything McKay," John replies. Teal'c and the SG teams returned to Earth later that day. Heath goes to his quarters and realize things have gotten even more complicated in the Pegasus Galaxy. Now they have two enemies the Wraith and the Goa'uld which if the Wraith find their world they want be much of a threat.
Somewhere else in the galaxy onboard Queen Death's Hive Jenny Horton awakes in a cell and she could tell she's onboard one of their ships. Her tactical vest and weapons have been removed. A Wraith officer appears and tells the Drones outside her cell to leave. She thought they might question his order but do as he told them. She didn't recognized the Wraith officer at all. The Wraith officer looked at her as she touch her pregnant belly. "Who are you?" The Wraith officer didn't answer. She hears more footsteps. Another Wraith appeared with four Wraith soldiers.
"The queen wants to see her," the Wraith tells the officer. The cell door open and two soldiers enter and help her to her feet. They escort her to the queen's chambers. The Wraith Soldiers outside stand aside to allow them to pass. The Old One and other lords of Queen Death zenna are present. Jenny looked at them. Queen Death looks at her and barb her teeth. The Wraith soldiers bring Jenny closer to the queen. Queen Death uses the same telepathy that all queens possess to make people kneel before them. However she's surprise to find it didn't work. The same Wraith Officer is also in the chamber. She notice a symbol on him. She seen the symbol before. She instructs one of the guards to make her kneel. Her legs are knock out from under her.
"Your baby may protect you from my mind young one but I can kill the baby with a single thought," Death says. Jenny stands back up.
"If you were going to kill me or the baby you would've done it by now." Jenny says and Death also heard it in her mind. Death found herself backing away from the Lantian. Death slaps her across the faces scratching her.
"Take this Lantian back to her cell," she says. Two Wraith soldiers approach her and attempt to grab her.
"Don't touch me," she says. The soldiers obeyed. They escort her back to the cell. Guide/Todd watches Jenny leave she didn't even see him. The Old One looked at his queen. He turns to the Wraith Officer who has the strange symbol.
"You who are you?" the old One asks. The Wraith officer didn't answer. Two soldiers bring him before the queen. The queen uses her mind but found it resisting her.
"No Wraith can resist a queen," She says.
"Actually milady, the royals can and those that are part of their council can which the Old One knows. I'm a member of the Royal council. I pair the mark of the emperor. You will release her." He turns to walk away but Death stabs him in the back. Her action shock her zenna and Guide. She just assaulted and killed an ambassador of the emperor of the Wraith Empire. she turned to them.
"I will bring about a new Wraith Empire that will destroy all Lantians and those who ally with them." The Lords of the Zenna bows along with Guide.
