Ranma stood between Hotaru and Beryl the three of them were in full Fuku as they stood before a council of Asgardians. Beryl spoke saying, "We understand your reluctance to part with this device, but as representatives of your allies the Lanteans surely you can provide something."

One of the council spoke saying, "Loki has done much harm with the temporal device and we are loath to allow it to exist at all. Our sincere apologies, but we can not allow such technology to exist."

Ranma nodded and said, "Thank you for your time and for the exchange of genetic information. We will go to our people and tell them that our friendship and alliance with the Asgardians continues to flourish."

The three were escorted out of the council chambers and to their ship. Once at the ship Beryl slammed a hand into the wall and said, "I would say we should just steal it, but. . ." she growled.

Ranma nodded and said, "I feel the same way, but that's not how we do things."

Hotaru nodded and said, "That's right and at least we retrieved the genetic information so that their descendants will live again."

"You're right Hotaru," Beryl hugged her, "But that doesn't mean I have to like it."

Nodding Ranma said, "Well I guess the next option are the Furlings or the actual Lanteans."

The two girls with Ranma looked at him a moment. This had been a possibility from the outset, but it was still filled with peril. The biggest problem being that if they came in and stopped the black moon family and prevented the loss of all the Lanteans, then the entirety of this universes future history would be massively changed creating a massive paradox. Such a paradox would potentially be large enough to kill all three of them if they were not actually near the physical structure of the Time Gate.

The silence was broken as the three thought about it. "Look I know it could be an issue, but no one knows where the Furlings actually are and the Nox are even less likely to help us than the Asgardians have been."

The two girls with Ranma nodded, looked at each other and then they each said, "I agree."

With that they strapped into the ship and set course for Earth and everything would have gone well if not for a small nearly microscopic block that had lodged in Saturn's fuku and had been waiting to touch a piece of metal.

When she sat down in their ship Saturn touched the small block to a piece of metal and the process began. The ship rose in the air of the Asgardian homeworld and flew into space, then shot into hyperspace. While that was happening a block formed and then another block. Another and then another until all three occupants of the ship suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Ranma spoke first saying, "I don't know why, but I feel like something dangerous is on this ship with us."

Beryl nodded and turned her chair to look about. "I do too, but I don't see anything."

Hotaru jumped out of her seat Glaive in the ready position and stared at it saying, "I felt something move!"

Ranma and Beryl were at the other girl's side looking at her chair when the ship's power suddenly blinked and then started again. Ranma looked at Beryl and said, "You figure out what that was, while Hotaru and I examine her chair."

The pink haired woman quickly moved to a computer console while Ranma gripped the fabric on Hotaru's seat cushion and pulled. The fabric ripped away and then the seat suddenly fell apart into four separate creatures.

"It's those damn replicators" Ranma said blasting them with his chi and magic.

Hotaru did the same and all four were blown apart, but Beryl said, "There are more and they are accessing our systems, I can't cut them out."

Ranma brushed the replicator debris away and said, "Can you tell us where they are maybe?"

As he brushed a small hole next to Hotaru's seat was uncovered and within they could hear the sounds of the Replicators working. Ranma raised his hand, but Hotaru said, "Don't you'll blow a hole out into space."

"Damn it!" Ranma looked at the hole and stalked about the small area.

At her controls Beryl said, "A few more minute and we'll lose life support, but I think I have pinpointed their locations, but we aren't going to like this."

Hotaru and Ranma just looked at her ready to do exactly as she asked. The pink haired woman took a deep breath and said, "Okay we'll need a shield Hotaru because they are attacking the shields and life support. If you blast both areas and the area next to the ZPM we should get them all."

After speaking she stood up as well waiting for Ranma to give the final go ahead. The black haired martial artist said, "We don't have much other choice let's do it. Ready?"

Millions of years in the future Colonel Samantha carter was at a computer terminal going through what she could of all the records in Atlantis. Despite the danger of the wraith and the troubles back on earth she was glad she had come here. Glad that Daniel had been assigned to lead the outpost and that he had asked her to lead the military contingent including the team they were calling AG-1.

She had hesitated at first, but with the realization that Jack wasn't going to retire any time soon and with Teal'c gone to his people there really was only one choice. She went to where the adventure would be and now she was once again desperately using her skills to try and find some last minute solution.

She looked past botany labs, storage areas, residences, an emergency medical facility which probably had a number of machines that they didn't know how to use yet. She looked past that more storage, a docking bay, and an area for receiving cargo. Wait, she looked back at her screen and saw it a small docking bay and according to what she was seeing it might have a ship inside.

Not long after that she and Daniel were with Major Sheppard and Lieutenant Ford along with a group of marines. The group bypassed the emergency medical facility and entered the docking bay. Once inside they saw the ship Daniel spoke first saying, "The markings on the hull are Asgard design."

Carter nodded and said, "Well we know that the Ancients and the Asgard had friendly relations, but what is it doing here?"

The two looked around the ship and Daniel said, "Looks like someone shot a hole in it here."

Carter walked over to him and said, "The other side too. I think we should look inside"

Daniel nodded and said, "Alright let's open it up."

Four hours later Sam was talking into her walkie talkie saying, "I don't get it. No ancient signals we know work, no Asgrdian signals work, there isn't a door and if we try to cut in the shields activate. It might have been Asgardians taken in by the Ancients, but however they got in and out of that control area eludes me right now."

A voice came back, "McKay's been dying to come look at it do you want me to send him in?"

She sighed and said, "Yeah go ahead Daniel send him in."

Soon after that she had to step out of the bay so that she wouldn't decide to punch a certain person in the nose. She didn't really feel like sitting in the hallway, so she walked over to the emergency medical bay and opened the door intending to sit on one of the beds in there until she cooled down.

She stepped in and all thoughts of her anger zipped right out of her brain. In the three medical beds were three figures in suspended animation. They were wearing fuku, but she recognized them from her preovious encounters with them. She pulled out her walkie talkie and said, "Daniel, I think you might want to come down here and see this

The ship almost tore itself apart and then there were voices talking to her. Taking her in along with Hotaru and Beryl they carried them into a medical bay and laid them down in beds. Words passed her by something about healing sleep and hundreds of years. She tried to protest and tell them they only needed a few hours, but her voice wouldn't cooperate. She was in the bed looking into the light and then everything went dark.

Lights came on and she moved. The bed was thrown into a wall and she was saying, "No we only need a few hours you don't understand our powers heal us faster!"

A voice spoke saying, "Ranma right?"

She looked over and recognized the man from somewhere. Her brain took a moment to process and then she said, "Yes and you're Daniel. Where are Beryl and Hotaru?"

"They're still waking up. In the meantime we have a few questions."

Ranma was already up and moving, but when she saw that her companions were safe in the room lying in beds she walked back to Daniel. "Alright what sort of questions?"

"Well you know me and you know Colonel Carter, but let me introduce you to Dr. Rodney McKay and John Sheppard." She shook hands with each person as he introduced them.

McKay was obviously staring at her legs and the rest of her and she sighed, but decided not to put him through a wall in the name of diplomacy. "Okay, now you've introduced me what sort of questions do you have?"

"Well how did you get here for one?"

"Well Colonel, at my best guess we were taken aboard by the Lanteans after our ship was damaged and I'm just guessing that this is still Altantis."

Some minor confusion was in her voice as she said, "But that would have been millions of years ago. I know we found you in here and you don't look any different from when we last saw you. But, how can you go from meeting us a year or so ago on Earth to being an entire galaxy away and in whatever stasis the Ancients put you in."

Ranma shrugged and said, "Well we went back in time. It didn't work out as well as we planned."

Nearby a voice said, "Oh my head," moments later a pink haired girl was at Ranma's side, "Ranma is everything okay hun?"

"Yeah I think so Beryl. Looks like we're back around the time we left or some time after that as I don't remember any intelligence about Atlantis before we left."

"They could have kept it secret."

"I guess so." Ranma looked at Daniel, Sam, and Rodney, "Any other questions?"

Dr. McKay spoke up saying, "Wait, let me get this straight. You went back in time millions of years and then were put into these stasis beds. So while your bodies were here sleeping during the last year or so you've also been somewhere else fighting against the Goa'uld?"

Ranma looked to Beryl who looked back at her and nodded, "Yeah something like that."

The man looked at Colonel Carter and she looked back as the man began "They could have woken up early and then done something. The potential for paradox would be immense. The very existence of time travel itself creates that possibility and the simple fact that they got lucky this time is not making me any happier."

Carters response was simple, "Can it Rodney, it's obvious that whatever they did worked and the universe is fine."

Ranma and company wisely decided not to tell them about the paradox they had created and survived in the last universe they were in. Daniel spoke saying, "Well as interesting as that is we currently have a large issue with the Wraith here in this galaxy. Considering how much you helped the Jaffa we were hoping that you three and your ship might just be what we need to win this fight."

The three girls looked at each other and then Ranma said, "We might be able to help why don't you give us some more details?"

The group proceeded to explain that The Atlantis expedition, led by Dr. Jackson, arrived at Atlantis and soon found themselves in a dire situation that forces them to seek new friends named the Athosians. The dire situation was a powerful new enemy known as the Wraith a race of beings that actively feed on other species life force. The Wraith were currently sending three hive ships to attack Atlantis and they would be there in days.

In addition to that disturbing news when the Atlantis expedition sent a burst transmission to Earth they had received one in return. A large black ship had recently entered the Solar System and was destroying planets one at a time. So far it had utterly destroyed Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.

Daniel finished explaining the situation saying, "We've currently evacuated half of the base and should complete evacuations before the Wraith arrive a day from now."

Ranma stood up from her seat on the medical bed and said, "Well it looks like we have a job to do. Dcotor Jackson if you can spare Dr. McKay and Colonel Carter I'd like to go look at our ship and see what repairs might need to be made."

Daniel gave his assent and the group was off along with Doctor Zelenka too. Once in the bay the ship's shields were lowered and an examination of the damage was completed and Beryl was saying, "Life support, navigation and the main energy conduit were damaged. The secnd two I can fix with parts in the bay here and the first I could fix If we had construction facilities like they once did in the moon Kingdom."

The blonde haired Colonel next to her said, "I think the best option is to pull out the ZPM and plug it into Atlantis defense systems."

Beryl shook her head and said, "I looked at the hyperdrive on this city and after you destroy the attacking Wraith with your weapons it will take three days to reach Earth using just this ZPM. If we could fix our life support our ship could get there in a single day."

"Well we could work on your ship after putting the ZPM into Atlantis."

Beryl nodded and the ZPM was moved. As the powerful device plugged in Ranma sat in the chair and said, "Nice seat."

Dr. McKay tried to stop the red haired girl, but Sheppard said, "Don't worry it only works for those with the. . ."

The room powered up and a voice spoke, "Welcome Guardian Pluto."

Ranma was then busy examining detail screens and various other items that popped up in front of her. As she did so she said, "Wraith still detected and coming this way. Beryl you said something about needing construction facilities?"

The pink haired woman replied, "Yes Ranma I did. If we had the right constructions facilities at our finger tips we could easily replicate what we need."

Ranma nodded and touched and said, "Okay sub level 13 opened and cleared of water. We should be able to go inside and see what's there."

The red haired girl hopped out of the chair and walked off. Rodney looked at Sheppard and the other man said, "Okay, but she didn't blow anything up. That's a lot better than Dr. Beckett ever did. Besides which Doctor Jackson said they are allies."

The two men followed after Ranma and the other two girls until the group reached the construction facility. As the three females entered the room came to life around them strange devices powered up and looked as if they might be waiting for instructions. "Why didn't we ever find this?"

"I don't know John, at a guess it was secured access or you didn't think to ask for it while you were in the chair." Rodney said lamenting once again that he didn't have the ancient gene.

In the meantime Beryl and Hotaru were guiding Ranma about a state of the art Construction Facility better even than some that had been around during the Moon Kingdom. Rodney and McKay were not far behind them as each machine was identified and its purpose given. Finishing at the center of the room Beryl said, "You know what this means Ranma?"

Ranma thought a moment and then said, "Well it means we can make spare parts we need, but I'm going to guess you mean something more."

Hotaru spoke next saying, "No, it is not our task to do here Beryl."

Ranma looked at the black haired girl and said, "What?"

"With all of this we could recreate the Moon Kingdom itself. Despite any damage that our solar system has taken we could use these facilities to begin the creation of another Moon Kingdom with yourself as its King."

Ranma looked askance at Beryl who looked sheepish and said, "Sorry Ranma it just went to my head."

Ranma nodded and said, "Right well let's just make what we need and then go."

Beryl nodded and said, "Okay Ranma Hotaru and I will work on the components we need for the life support and an extra ZPM."

A number of voices echoed Ranma as he said, "Wait what?"

Beryl smiled and said, "We can use these facilities to make another ZPM for ourselves and this way Atlantis does not have to be without one when we take ours and go to help Earth."

Doctor Rodney McKay was speechless for twenty minutes afterwards.

Three Wraith Ships hovered over Atlantis and began their attack on the city. Moments after that yellow swarms of drones exited the city and enveloped them in a paroxysm of fire and they were soon obliterated by the city's ancient weapons systems. Not long after that a ship rose into space and shot towards Earth. Hopefully it would be in time for its occupants to face off against Master Pharaoh 90.

On the Atlantis station Rodney McKay watched the ship leave and said to Samatha Carter, "You realize they just left us with that construction facility right?"

The blonde haired girl nodded and said, "Yes, but we tried to use it when they weren't there. None of the devices turned functioned at all for me."

"What about Sheppard?"

The woman shrugged and said, "They turned on, but that's all. Everything else was apparently in the ancient language and high level math just like Beryl said it would be."

McKay sighed and wondered if they might perfect the gene therapy in any decent modicum of time as it was unlikely that they could easily teach John Sheppard calculus , differential equations, quantum physics, and the ancient language.

Meanwhile, in the blackness of space the Deimos and the Tria's Light along with a large fleet of Free Jaffa and Earth bound vessels faced off against Wiseman and Master Pharaoh 90 who was a mixture of an ascended being and a super massive life destroying ship that once belonged to the Ori.

The ships hovered near Mars as the massive black creature began to rain down ordinance on the planet. Rail guns and energy weapons blasted into the creature again and again as it slowly descened on Mars and then ripped into the very crust of the Red planet.

Even the Deimos powerful weapons given life by ZPM were unable to even scratch the strange melding of creature and machine. It ate into the crust and absorbed punishment as if the surrounding ships were meaningless.

Ranma, Beryl, and Hotaru flashed out of hysperspace and directly into the conflict. All of them immediately began directing their attacks on Master Pharaoh 90, but none seemed to effect the creature. Hotaru even pulled off her most powerful move, "Death Reborn Revolution!"

The dark haired Senshi sent her power into the vacuum of space and it simply wavered and fell upon striking the mass of Master Pharaoh 90. Ranma looked at his allies after that and said, "Okay now what?"

The questioned resounded for a moment and then Beryl said, "Not now Ranma yesterday. The past we've gone back millions of years why not go back farther and destroy this thing before now. Before it gets so powerful that nothing we have can defeat it."

Ranma shook her head and said, "We won't be close enough to the gate to avoid being ripped apart by the paradox wave."
