Chapter 8: Mutant

Sky pushed Sheppard out of the way, as a beast came flying into the room. He saw that the creature had long white hair, an almost human shaped head with a lot of strange lumps. He realized that when he studied the face a little more, he could see that the creature had once been a Wraith.

Sheppard couldn't believe that a Wraith had been in Atlantis without them detecting it. Several theories were running through his mind about the mutated Wraith, but he quickly changed his focus on the situation.

As Sky fought the Wraith, Sheppard activated his headset for a general broadcast. "We have a Wraith in the city. Repeat we have a Wraith in the city." Before he could give the location, the Wraith picked Sky up and threw her at Sheppard, sending them crashing to the floor.

Sheppard held back a painful groan as he got to his feet. He grabbed for his weapon and was going to fire at the creature, but Sky, who had already gotten to her feet, was blocking the target.

He watched as the Wraith shoved Sky, turned and ran out of the room at an inhuman speed.

Sky reacted without pause and went after the Wraith.

"Sky, wait!" Sheppard yelled as he ran after her and the Wraith too distracted to notice that his headset had been knocked off of his head.

"We have a Wraith in the city. Repeat we have a Wraith in the city."

Ronon stopped cleaning his gun, set down the cloth and quickly put the gun back together. He grabbed his second gun, which he had already cleaned, and ran out the door. He activated his headset, "Chuck, do you have the location of the Wraith?"

"Not yet," Chuck answered, causing Ronon to frown darkly as he turned down a corridor heading towards Sheppard's room, knowing that was were Sheppard was supposed to be.

Ronon was about to ask Chuck why they hadn't detected the Wraith, but he figured that the Wraith would soon make its presence known.

Ronon knew that Dr. Weir had ordered Sheppard to get some rest, but the Lieutenant Colonel was well known for not obeying orders whenever Sky was around.

He heard shouting coming from around the corner. He slowed down, both of his guns his fingers already resting on the triggers. He brought his guns first around the corner before him.

He saw something running towards him, but it was moving so fast that he couldn't determine what the blur was but he could see Sky running behind the blur.

Ronon fired at the Wraith but each shot missed the creature by several inches.

Ronon watched as the Wraith turned towards him. Before Ronon could fire off any more shots, the Wraith punched Ronon in the chest, sending him flying into the wall. Ronon gasped as he felt air leaving his lungs and heard several bones cracking.

Ronon looked up and saw Sheppard running towards him. He blinked, trying to beat back the darkness that threatened to take him under.

Just before Ronon lost consciousness, he saw Sky running after the Wraith and he hoped that she would be able to stop the creature before it could destroy them all.

"Chuck, do you know the location of the Wraith?" Dr. Weir asked, pacing back and forth in front of the workstation, wondering why Sheppard hadn't responded to her calls.

"I'm working on it!" Chuck said as he tried again to locate the Wraith.

Dr. Weir was a little surprised at Chuck's outburst, but understood that he was frustrated.

"I found it. It's heading this way!" Chuck shouted as he brought up on the screen the corridor leading to the Gate Room, where a red dot was quickly moving towards them.

"Everyone, get out of here!" Dr. Weir ordered, knowing that the civilians had to leave the gate room to allow the soldiers to take care of the Wraith.

The civilians did as they were ordered, while the soldiers pulled out their weapons and fired at the Wraith when it ran into the room.

The Wraith roared in anger as it struck down the half a dozen soldiers in less than a minute. The Wraith than turned its attention to Dr. Weir, who was trying to think of a way to escape from the creature.

Dr. Weir gasped as she backed up and bumped into the workstation as the creature jumped up onto the railing and growled, its razor sharp teeth gleaming.

Before Dr. Weir could move, Sky came running into the room and knocked the Wraith away from Dr. Weir, sending the creature crashing to the floor.

Dr. Weir got as far away as she could from the battle, but she couldn't help but watch as Sky blocked several of the Wraith's blows.

Sky kicked the Wraith in its midsection and sent it crashing into the Stargate. The Wraith howled in rage as it jumped to its feet and lunged at Sky, with knife like nails growing from the creature's fingertips.

Sky tried to sidestep the creature, but it had sensed the movement and its claws sunk into Sky. Dr. Weir saw that Sky had several cuts on her arms and saw blood dripping onto the floor.

When Sky leapt at the Wraith, Dr. Weir saw a flash of silver and heard the Wraith cry out.

Dr. Weir watched as the Wraith fell to the floor and knew that it was dead because of the large gash across the creature's throat.

Dr. Weir looked at Sky and was shocked to see blood seeping from several wounds on her chest. The knife that Sky had used to kill the Wraith fell out of her hand as she fell to the floor.

Teyla entered the room, not lowering her weapon until she checked to make sure that the Wraith was dead. "Dr. Weir, are you hurt?" Teyla asked as she went over to Dr. Weir.

"I'm fine, but Sky needs medical assistance," Dr. Weir said as she came down the stairs and went over to Sky, using her jacket to try and stop the endless flow of blood.

Teyla used her headset to call for a medic, which wasn't necessary because several medics came bursting into the room caring gurneys and medical supplies. The medics split up, working on the injured soldiers and Sky.

"Is Colonel Sheppard all right?" Dr. Weir asked stepping out of the medics' way.

"Yes, he is with Ronon," Teyla answered knowing that Dr. Weir was concerned about Sheppard.

"I need to speak with him immediately," Dr. Weir said already knowing that she wasn't going to like the answers that he was going to give her.
