When the cloaked Altimah arrived at Earth's southern pole, they saw the captured pyramid ship and the Earth ship preparing to square off against the fleet arrayed against them. "Got to give them full marks for courage." Alexander said. "But humans have never been a people that back down from a threat, no matter how much bigger then them that threat is. Put me on all-hail, Corda. Let's announce our intentions."
"Attention Earth ship and pyramid ship being run by humans of Earth. My name is Captain Alexander of the Altimah, we are prepared to join you in battle." As he decloaked the Altimah. "Don't let our small size fool you. We are more then capable."
"This is General Hammond aboard the Earth ship Prometheus. I won't turn down your assistance son, but when this is over, we're going to need to talk."
"I agree, General and for the record, I only sound young, I'm quite abit older then you."
"General! Anubis is launching fighters." Walter called out, from his station.
"Launch our fighters." General Hammond ordered.
"Fighters launching." Walter reported.
"Attention Altimah, we just need to buy a little time. We have a team enroute, they hopefully have secured weapons from a place called Atlantis that can help us."
"Atlantis is in another galaxy, General. I know, because it used to be my home. However, there is an outpost with weapons under the ice of Antarctica. Unfortunately, it's currently too far for you to reach. So unless your team comes up with another solution, it's just us. Good hunting, General." And Alexander launched the Altimah into the fight, dodging and weaving as he fired drone weapons at the little ships, that except for shape, reminded him of the Wraith fighters.
"My God." General Hammond heard one of the crew mutter. "How is he maneuvering and firing like that? He hasn't missed a single shot!"
"Let's not let him have all the fun. Rail guns on full, target Anubis' ship." General Hammond ordered, silently admiring the pilot and weapon's officers of the Altimah.
"Sir!" Walter called out. "We're reading a cargo ship. It just dropped out of hyperspace right over the ice sheet!"
"Another daredevil pilot. I'm betting that's Jack and SG 1. Let's clear the road for them people, continuous fire on the mothership. Signal Colonel Caldwell to not let up on his attack either, we have a mothership of our own. Let's use it!"
"Aye, General." Walter responded. "Colonel Caldwell, aboard our mothership, is engaging Anubis' mothership as well. Anubis' ship is taking considerable damage. Sir, the cargo ship is somehow burning a hole thru the ice."
"Alexander, that buried outpost we read under the ice sheet, that little ship has reconfigured its ring transporter and is burning a hole through the ice sheet!" Johnathan was informing his Captain at the same time.
"That takes some know how and skill to do." Alexander commented as he continued his dance with the enemy fighters. "Anything else?"
"They've nearly drilled thru to the outpost. I'm reading a hologram being transmitted from the enemy pyramid ship."
"Corda, let's see what our enemy has to say." Alexander ordered. Corda intercepted the hologram and it appeared in front of them, startling them all with how it looked.
"Who are you?" The creature demanded to know. "Do you not know who I am? I am the god, Anubis!"
"Yeah, you're another wanna be. Don't you get it yet? We don't believe you! What else are you? Because you look familiar." Alexander questioned.
"I Ascended, the others sent me back. But only half way, as punishment for the one who helped me."
"Good to know. Now get out my sky." As he read drone weapons coming from below the ice sheet and saw them impact on the enemy ships, cutting thru their shields. These drones were heavier and more powerful then the ones the Altimah was using.
Alexander continued to fire on the enemy fighters, as did Earth's fighters until they'd all been destroyed.
"Alexander, we're being hailed from the Earth ship." Oz reported.
"On speakers, Corda."
"Attention Altimah, thank you for your assistance. We need to set down to make repairs and attend to our injured. Will you set down as well and meet with us?"
"I'm going to trust you, General Hammond. But understand this, I'm not just trusting you with myself, I'm trusting you with my crew. If you betray us and they're harmed, you will never know another night of peace."
"I understand. I can't say I blame you. I'd say something similar if the situations were reversed. You have my personal guarantee and I have the ear of the President of the United States. Do you know who that is?"
"Yes, we do. We're U.S. citizens actually."
"I think we have alot to talk about." General Hammond ordered the Prometheus to set down near the newly discovered outpost, which wasn't far from the research station that had been set up after the Antarctica gate had been found. The Altimah settled down near it.
"Come on Walter, let's go meet our benefactor in person. Everyone else, begin repairs or report to the infirmary as needed." General Hammond ordered, Walter fell into his place a step behind the General. The two of them made their way to the transporter room and were beamed to the research facility.
"Sir, the crew of the Altimah don't appear to have transporters, they ringed down to the outpost instead." One of the research personnel reported.
"Ready a helicopter to take my aide and myself over." General Hammond ordered. "Have any wounded been brought in yet?"
"Yes, sir. A few downed pilots. We're making them as comfortable as we can until they can be transported back to the states."
"Thank you for looking after them."
