Ch.70

Needless to say Jack started speaking random ancient words in the meeting. He asked Dr.Weir that if he finds the location of the outpost if she'd let us go to it. Kinsey said no and Dr.Weir said she'd consider it especially under the circumstances. Bra'tac said he had to go to Chulak and Teal'c said he'd go as well to get ships and warriors to defend the planet.

I told them I'd go myself to see the Asgard and prepare whatever they can muster in earth's defense. Dr.Weir agreed and I used the gate booster to leave before Bra'tac. Thor said he could bring three ships but nothing more because all the resources they'd gained was going to rebuilding their home world and reviving all their lost people in stasis. He gave me the resources the Asgard owed me in capsules and said the rest would be presented to whom I thought appropriate.

I suggested he give them to Dr.Weir and we leave immediately. He agreed so we ended up in orbit around earth hours later. Frayr, Thor and High Councilor Odin all beamed down to the conference room with me and met with Dr.Weir and Kinsey. I introduced them and called Kinsey by his title instead of Asshat, though it was very hard to resist.

Anyways, they told them we had three Asgard warships in orbit and were ready to work with the forces of earth to defend our world with us. Hours later a fleet of ten hatak class ships with Bra'tac's IDC came into the solar system and cloaked as I suggested over the coms. I told Dr.Weir of their number in the near fifty thousand warriors, two hundred and fifty death gliders and five alkesh bombers with the ten hatak class ships.

I sighed and told Dr.Weir that we were outnumbered from what the Jaffa say, five to one. I told them Anubis knew the number of Jaffa ships we had allied with and could call upon so he was bringing his full force to bare down on us from all he'd amassed from the system lords. I laid out a hologram of all our defenses in the solar system after Bra'tac and the ship commanders beamed down with Thor's help.

I looked it over and made a battle plan before kicking it to the president and General Hammond who'd be in Prometheus. They agreed and I grimaced before giving Thor some capsules, telling him they were space mines meant to hone in on goa'uld symbiotes and explode on contact within a planet's range. I asked him to have them all dropped off via beaming to the coordinates around our solar system.

He did so and asked if I thought it wise. I shook my head saying I made them as a last defense measure to at least weaken the shields of attacking goa'ulds. I told him making bombs didn't sit right with me, but I'd do whatever I can to keep earth safe. Sam asked about the Tok'ra and I shook my head. "The devices hone in on the presence of goa'ulds alone using neutronium as a neural reader like the link system only more dangerous and unstable. They detect the minds of those with thousands of years of evil thoughts as their AI matrix has on file. Sadly I've read enough goa'uld minds to help pinpoint them so the technology is effective and tamperproof even by Anubis without using his ascended powers."

Dr.Weir asked. "And if he does?"

I grunted. "If the others don't stop him, I will and I'll go to war with them as well if I have to. It's because they were lazy enough to leave their damned technology all over the galaxy that the goa'uld managed to get space travel and that's not including the stargates. As useful as they are, the galaxy would've been better off if they'd stuck to using ships and destroyed them when they went to ascend. All of this is their mess whether they'd like to admit it or not in the end regardless of anything else."

The Asgard didn't comment because I wasn't wrong in that part. Still, we didn't have time for pointing fingers, they knew I'd ascend again if I had to so that the earth could be defended against another ascended being and that made even Kinsey a bit relieved. Soon enough Jack was moving to gather things because he'd found Proclarush Taonas. I stopped him and touched his head.

He forced the bit of information I hadn't had before into my head and zapped me backwards without meaning to. I waved off the others and said I was fine, but I'd gained the last completed part of the database in my subconscious. I said I had access now though it was so much it would take me centuries for decipher it all, if not many thousands of years like the Asgard and all that's coming up right now was the history.

I shook my head before turning to Jack who apologized. I told him it was my fault because I was trying to understand and now I did. I told them. "Proclarush is the name of the planet and Taonas is the name of the outpost on it. He's going there to get a potentia, an ancient power module, and to access the outpost's mainframe to get the exact coordinates of the outpost here on earth."

Thor said he could get the power module here on earth for us if we'd like since his readings showed it was full, but his ship couldn't afford to break formation. I waved him off saying they'd take the spare cargo ship and Jack can upgrade the hyper drive to get them there and back fast. Still, he beamed in the power module and handed it to me. I thanked him saying it would likely go to powering the outpost's defenses in the long run if the one he brings back isn't enough.

Sam asked if I was going and I shook my head. "I've agreed to help disable the ships and beam aboard to knock out the Jaffa so that the free Jaffa can hopefully add them to their ranks once Anubis is defeated for good. I need to be here if he uses his ascended powers and the others don't stop him anyways."

She nodded sadly and I told her not to worry because even if I do ascend I'd come back to her. We kissed just before they left to the cargo ship with all the supplies Jack needed. Kinsey bitched, but it was out of his hands at the moment. I told them we had to prepare and get this done.

We beamed aboard Thor's ship and I sat in meditation learning Alteran history still like id been for years now. Just when id thought it was over it never seems to end. When tree of Anubis's fleet arrived, the mines activated, bombarding the ships until the shields eventually failed as the last mines exploded against them. I beamed over and knocked out all the Jaffa on the ships one by one before free Jaffa ringed to them and removed the self destruct, taking over the ships and moving them out of way.

Anubis sent twenty more ships and our forces were forced out. Hundreds of satellites and ion cannons fired on them weakening them as they systematically yet forcing our ships out as well as it became a full on battle. I used the link system I'd tied to the defenses and had them all target certain areas while the Jaffa and the Asgard engaged the hatak ships. Soon their shields failed while the Jaffa ships shield's failed as well.

I beamed over and knocked out each of the ships while the weapons moved to disable them. It didn't take more than a few minutes even with me removing the self destruct several set. The free Jaffa took them and retreated as I suggested since their shields were down and only the Asgard's remained. Many of the satellite weapons and ion cannons were destroyed in the process, but the defenses held until a scout ship showed up headed for earth from hyper space.

Anubis brought his full fleet and gave chase, using the thirty plus ships to entangle us and cause him to get passed us in his main ship. We were too busy fighting them that I had to pull my ace in the hole and tell Hammond to take them out to intercept and protect Jack and the others. All of the ion cannons and satellite weapons were destroyed while ten of the ships remained with shields.

Even the Asgards had to retreat into one ship by sacrificing two to take out the ten ships that remained with shields. The Jaffa on board were killed unfortunately, but it was all we could hope for. I beamed aboard the other ships with Thor's help and knocked out the crew before the Jaffa returned to claim the twenty ships, bringing their fleet to fifty ships in serious need of repair.

None of them were in fighting condition so we beamed to the SGC while the Jaffa retreated and Thor sent the Daniel Jackson on a collision course with Anubis's ship which was firing on earth's shield in a bombardment. Even his Jaffa were doing suicidal bombing runs in death gliders to try and bring down the shield which it did when Anubis fired the main weapon.

The six potentia prototypes were destroyed via depletion and feedback, causing the satellite station to have an explosion and revealing it orbiting the moon. The death gliders descended and Prometheus defended the cargo ship while Starhawks and the Nyx, the sister ship of Prometheus, engaged them. It was a ship designed and controlled entirely by Armor Tech workers for the benefit of the company and earth.

Nyx fired on Anubis's mothership repeatedly with our most advanced weapons. Simultaneously, it fired all batteries on the death gliders with pinpoint accuracy thanks to the same technology the nervous scientist Sam felt bad for had helped create. When they were through, both ships broke off and headed to Anubis's ship to fully engage with it. Along the way Nyx never stopped firing, just switching targets fully to Anubis's flag ship.

Before they made it a bunch of glowing drones shot out of the tunnel in the ice that Jack made and destroyed Anubis's ship. The battle was won and Kinsey had gotten his retirement like he'd needed for trying to flee in the middle of battle. Nyx's teleporters took the Asgard and myself to the outpost where Thor helped Jack remove the repository from his mind. From there, I walked to the chair platform and sat down, activating it.

I told them. "The potentia is at seventy percent power. It should sustain the chair, but the drones are nearly depleted with a couple hundred remaining."

I closed my eyes and got a map of all the Alteran outposts in the galaxy. I told them I had what we needed before thanking Thor and the other Asgard who said it was the least they could do for all we'd done for them, but that was the last of their ships for a long time to come. I nodded and asked if they'd like to send scientists to Atlantis when our expedition goes. The president and General Hammond thought it a great idea when we spoke with them seconds later in the Oval Office.

Thor said they would very much like that and I nodded before telling them that the ship Destiny is out there gathering knowledge of the universe to understand and find the intelligent life the ancients picked up in their findings of before the Big Bang that expanded what we know as the universe itself. I waved a hand saying they didn't have to agree to anything yet because getting to it alone will take years once we get the coordinates either from the list of outposts I'd made or from Atlantis's own databanks. "It is primarily a research vessel and sixty million years old or so, but it should be still quite advanced and likely have more information stored in it from all the galaxies it's been to than any repository or Atlantis itself by now."

The Asgard said they'd discuss it with there people and let us know once we find the way there. I gave Jack the gate addresses to all the ancient outposts in the Milky Way galaxy. I told him that I was no longer a member of SG-1 and I planned to head to Atlantis myself since I couldn't be on their team or stay without being with Sam. Sam smiled sadly as if she'd known it was coming.

I touched her face saying we had two potentia and in theory we could go back and forth with gate boosters so she can visit me and I can visit her if she still wished to try. I turned to the president and asked if that was a problem. He said no and I sighed. "The free Jaffa have fifty ships and the chance to finish off the goa'uld if they act fast before they solidify power once more. I managed to find Anubis's new clone base and gave the information to Bra'tac before the Jaffa left so hopefully it will be destroyed for hood by now, leaving just the remaining system lords to deal with."

I told them. "Those gate addresses should give earth a significant chance. Just beware, the goa'uld may try to use our need of potentia and drones against us now. Each outpost with a chair platform has a stockpile of drones you'll need to check along with the potentia, but the goa'uld have been around a long time. If they tamper with any of it an overload from a potentia could wipe out a solar system entirely."

They agreed to be careful and about two weeks later, Jack was promoted to Brigadier General, the system lords came to arrange a treaty and all hell broke loose on a galactic scale, but not on earth. The system lords Yu, Camulus and Amaterasu all learned that their forces had fallen to Ba'al and the Jaffa forces out there tearing the system lords new ones. Most of the minor goa'uld system lords fell quickly to them while more than half the remaining system lords themselves not on earth were wiped out by Tok'ra.

It was all out war and soon all except Ba'al had fell. The system lords with us learned they'd just become prisoners by their own want because if the Jaffa or Tok'ra didn't kill them, Ba'al would. They actually begged to stay because Ba'al would make their suffering worse than we would. I smirked as Egeria contacted us, telling us they'd moved the Unas off world and blew up the goa'uld origin home worlds and were destroying the remaining goa'uld symbiote's all over the galaxy.

All the Jaffa home worlds and throne worlds were being visited and shit was going down. Ba'al's forces and the free Jaffa clashed all over and Ba'al was losing slowly. Ba'al's own Jaffa turned on him in the end and he blew himself up with a good thousand Jaffa in spite sadly. Amaterasu, Camulus and Yu were handed over to the Jaffa afterwards while I gave the SGC the warning of Camulus having had a potentia he tampered with to blow up our planet.

I gave Jack as the new commander of the SGC all the information from the goa'uld before he'd sent them back. Their deaths were public and proved the Jaffa's convictions to their cause. Sam was promoted to Lt.Colonel and she, Daniel and Teal'c were the only OG members of SG-1 left. The Jaffa made sure no more goa'uld rose to power while the Tok'ra killed off the goa'uld systematically.

My last kindness for the SGC was taking Nyx to orbit cloaked and destroying the space debris remaining from Anubis's mothership. Why? Because fucking Anubis possessed one of my people and tried to take over the ship. When he failed, he tried to possess me and it backfired for him. He got in and it lasted for all of a minute before he was sucked out into my ring.

Oma Desala appeared and asked what I'd just done. I shrugged. "I don't know, but this ring appeared when he possessed me and sucked him inside. The funny thing is, I don't remember even having it, but now that it's here, I know what it does. It stores all forms of energy, living or not for my use. Anything that attacks or makes contact with my physical form can be pulled in regardless of how powerful it is."

She asked if I could release him and I shook my head. "Even if I could, I wouldn't, not that I know how anyways. Do tell the others that if they attack, it may just suck them all in as well. I don't think it has any limits to the amount of kind of energy it can hold after all."

Oma looked wearily at me, knowing I was telling the truth. I really had no memory of having or using the ring before. I must've done it to myself though because otherwise it wouldn't work. I could tell it was tied to my soul so only I could use or control it as well my memories of it were equally as tied to it, though I don't remember how funnily enough.

Oma saw I was looking at the ring weirdly so she left to do whatever it is ascended do. The rest of the debris were destroyed before I joined John Shepard, Dr.Weir, Heimdall and Hermiod along with all of the Atlantis expedition that'd gathered. The full potentia or ZPM as Rodney McKay called them, was in the outpost while the other was in a case going to General Hammond and homeworld defense to power the new upgraded satellite shield. In the meantime the longevity serum was made and the very first dose was offered to Sam from me.

I told her it was being mass produced and even if she chooses not to use it, I wanted her to have that option, even if not to be with me. She took it and said she'd think on it because a thousand years was a long time for anyone to be alive. I smiled and told her it could be quite a ride though. McKay asked if we were going to hook up the ZPM and get the show on the road.

I shook my head. "The ZPM isn't necessary. About an hour ago Anubis managed to possess my body for all of one minute before this appeared on my hand and sucked him into it."

I held up my ring and even the Asgard were intrigued. I told them I didn't know how it was made, but I'd done so when I was ascended and now it protects me from such beings. I held up a hand towards the gate as a wormhole formed to Atlantis. "It also gives me temporary access and control to the power of those beings. With Anubis in the ring it augments my power so I don't need a potentia to go where I want to."

McKay asked if I really was going to use the ancients name for the ZPMs. I gave him a withering glare and Hermiod said I am an ancient, Asgard and furling tribrid so technically I had all rights to using the language I preferred having mastered all languages on earth already. I turned back to Jack and SG-1, telling them telepathically that I'd miss them and I'd officially left Armor Tech in their names so they owned it alongside the Nyx.

I told Daniel that my home was now his and his son's so hopefully he'd make it a real home now. I told Jack that he could rename Nyx or build his own ship on the Armor Tech satellite station while the company rebuilds the lost weapons platforms from the war. I turned to Selmak and nodded before he and the Tok'ra that Egeria and Aiyana decided to send with me as my unofficial protection moved through the gate.

All in all twenty Tok'ra, twenty Jaffa and two Asgard made up the alien faction with me. We went through as equals with Dr.Weir, Colonel Sumner and everyone. Dr.Weir had given her speech so we left right after the the MALP scanned the whole place and let us know the city's condition. As soon as I was through, I told the Tok'ra to stay at the side while I waved a hand and brought up a terminal, taking control of the city.

I released the sea clamps and the city began to rise while I nodded to Heimdall. He told Weir and Colonel Sumner what I'd done and that I had full control over the city. I spoke then as the Jaffa and Tok'ra rustled. "The city's sensors and everything basically is damaged either from the war they fought or from ten thousand years of water. Stick together and groups once we surface to find crew quarters in the immediate area. The tower's sensors are fine, but the rest of the city will require hazmat cleanup and protocols until the sensors can be repaired."

The Jaffa with me asked why I was in control of the city and I told them it was meant for ancients and required a telepathic component to do so in the way I am. I told them not to worry, it only alerted me to emergencies and allowed me mental access to the city's information while giving me control over the consoles if I wish to shut them off. Dr.Weir told the scientists as the windows opened showing the shield holding back the sea. "I'm sure you're all eager to explore and learn things, but we need to establish a base of operations and safe exploratory expeditions outwards."

The Jaffa Ro'tak, told Weir they needed to make off world bases to get food and supplies as well. He gestured to the stargate and we rose above the sea. I smiled seeing the sunlight and walked to the balcony as the shield shut off. I told the Tok'ra to take the capsuled generators and switch to auxiliary power.

Colonel Sumner sent two men so two Jaffa and Hermiod went with them as I guided them telepathically to the power conduit room for the city. I made sure all the consoles remained off until the power was switched over to reserve what little power the ZPM had left. The gate cut off with a bottle of champagne from Jack so I nodded to the rest of the Tok'ra, Jaffa and Heimdall, telling them to go find their crew quarters they wish to make their own and begin setting up whatever defense they brought in the tower for now.

The lights flickered as the Naquadria and neutrino Ion generators kicked on. It wasn't enough for a city shield or star drive, but for now it was enough for everything. Selmak said he'd find one for me as well amongst the Tok'ra quarters. I thanked him, telling him I was counting on him and the Asgard to treat the Jaffa as equals and let them have a voice in the council they formed under my general leadership.

He agreed to do his best and I asked him why he'd changed his form to no longer resemble me. He said he was his own person now so he chose one that pleased him the most. So there he was standing in Samuel L. Jackson's body double. I found it amusing and agreed that it only seemed proper he choose the form he was going to live with for the next thousand years.

Soon enough the Jaffa formed a team with Colonel Sumner and three Tok'ra before they went through the gate using the MALP to check for indigenous and signs of life. We'd brought a modified harvester and genetically modified seeds, but we needed land to grow things and food while possible to get more of, needed to be rationed until a steady supply chain was made. Sadly only five Jaffa remained so when John came back saying some kind of alien ship took them and the Tok'ra, I knew we were in deep shit.

I went with him and the rescue team with half the remaining Tok'ra. All of them insisted, but I told them I needed half there to ensure peace if we don't make it back. I'd met Teyla Amagon and her people who'd come back with John so I wasn't surprised when Teyla came with us. The wraith were…unpleasant.

I killed several with my blade and moved through the complex unable to cloak us with Nox mind tricks since they seemed immune. We made our way in and Shepard split off while we rescued whom we could. As it turns out the Jaffa and Tok'ra had the greatest lifeforce so the wraith fed on them first. All the Jaffa except Ro'tak were dead while Colonel Sumner was missing. Major Shepard took Lt.Ford to retrieve him while we helped the rest escape.

It turned sour as while we escaped, Colonel Sumner was dead and the wraith were all waking up. Thousands of wraith all across the galaxy were waking up and it was our fault. Dr.Weir said we were rash, but I told her wraith were telepathic and knew the Milky Way galaxy from the dead so we'd been screwed the moment they took our people alive. I set about helping the Athosians settle in and warning the kids not to leave the tower or enter the teleporters.

I showed everyone said teleporters and warned them I was shutting them down until the city could be full searched with hazmat groups. The Asgard agreed to help two teams search apiece while the Tok'ra agreed to join the Jaffa and make two teams. I warned them all they'd need to wear full hazmat gear because there was no telling what they might find along the way. I told them I'd repair the sensors array in the meantime stop the towers to at least get the city's internal sensors and coms fixed fully.

Dr.Weir asked what we needed of her people and Selmak told her to have them make groups with more military than civilian in each group so that if they did get infected with something the military personnel can maintain control without human scientists letting fear and panic get the best of them and end up infecting everyone. She turned to Shepard and he agreed to do so before she said we were underestimating earth's scientists, after all, I was one.

I told her that I'd met many god complex scientists who care only for themselves and when terrified, do stupid stuff. In the end we repaired the city and swept it, marking labs and ceiling them while noting crew quarters and expanding outwards by foot. Teyla's people asked to help so I told Selmak over the coms to give them gear and have them mark anything that is unlike the living quarters, showing them the way to close the doors and mark things like the rest.

With their help, they managed to scout a significant portion of the city fast while I repaired the city's internal sensors. When it was finished, the city went on lockdown because of the spilled nanite virus. Still, it helped us identify and deal with the issue while under quarantine and I dealt with them myself with five Tok'ra. Once the city came off of lockdown after we destroyed the samples of the nanite virus, I told Dr.Weir over the coms that I'd appreciate help guiding the search teams.

In the end one dumbass human scientist from earth unleashed an energy sucking entity. I put myself directly in it's path while the rest found the scientists near death. Luckily medical pills seemed to revive them so the dhmbass scientist that unleashed it was there to apologize when the entity fed on me and was sucked into my ring. I told Dr.Weir that if her people can't refrain from touching things until it can all be checked out safely, I can open the stargate and send them home even if I can't bring them back because unlike them I'm not returning so soon.

She said the scientist in question, Dr.Hays, was being brought back and reprimanded seriously. I grunted and asked the two Jaffa and Tok'ra with me to take it in groups of two, one to check and one to mark to speed up the process. They agreed while I went solo and marked doors a lot faster. We took the entire Eastern section ourselves and when I reached the bottom floor to double back, I didn't have far to go.

They were quite effective so I gave them my number of both labs and quarters so we faded them together. I marked them all on my AT pad. AT pad being Armor Tech designed holo Ipads. We moved and caught up with the rest all while in quarantine suits just to be safe.

When we finished for today, it was just the basics, but the entire eastern wing of Atlantis was mapped out with part of the south eastern one. We reported all the stuff in for a scheduled information drop to the SGC, that being the ancients were no longer here at all and many Jaffa had died while the wraith had woken up and the city was in disrepair and would take a while to fix. I told John after Dr.Weir finished the reports saying I'd soon authorize the immediate creation of two off world teams led by my faction to seek out potentia and potential allies against the wraith who were all no doubt waking up.

He agreed and gave the order for several more teams to be made by Major Shepard. He asked if I'd come back and pick more people up which I told him no to. I told him that only if war becomes inevitable would we cross that line when we come to it. Sighing, I said. "For now I'm hoping we can repair the city, replenish the drones and gain access to ZPMs to power the shields and if necessary, the star drive assuming it still works so we can leave and escape the wraith if necessary."

He grunted and wished us luck saying the Enterprise he'd renamed would stop by in a month to see if we're still alive and drop off more military and supplies. I agreed and we hung up before I turned to John, Dr.Weir and the others. "Let's us hope we find what we're looking for before the wraith get here or we will have to abandon the city again just like the ancients. Don't bother with a self destruct, if we have to abandon the city, I've prepared a world destroyer to ensure the wraith don't either."

Elizabeth nodded and John asked what that was. McKay told him grimly that it was special Naquadria enhanced bomb that literally destroys planets. He said I'd made one before to destroy one of Anubis's bases and it worked quite effectively so there really would be no more Atlantis if we fail. I nodded to Hermiod. "Make sure a copy of all Atlantis's knowledge is downloaded onto the crystals and your people's repositories. If we have to abandon the city, I don't want their wisdom and knowledge lost."

He nodded and Ro'tak agreed with Selmak who said they'd get what they can. Hermiod said he'd brought a mater materializer so he can provide them with more if necessary. I turned to Heimdall and told him he'd help me get the deep space sensors up and running again tomorrow so we can at least see what's happening out there. I told Ro'tak that tomorrow the Jaffa and the Tok'ra would check all gate ships and make sure they're useable in case we need them.

He agreed and I told Hermiod that after he's done with getting all the copies done tomorrow, I wanted him accessing the database for all off world Lantean outposts in the system and making up a list Dr.Weir and I can split so our teams divide the work load as much as possible along with any projects in the city that might be dangerous to come across. He said that shouldn't take long and I sighed. "That's what I was hoping you'd say because after the Jaffa and Tok'ra are done, I want you to lead them in helping to repair the city's power distribution circuits. We need full access and understanding of what's here before we can face what's out there. We have two weeks of hard work ahead of us all."

I turned to Ro'nak. "Break out the link system we brought and tonight you and all the Jaffa will catch up on your knowledge of the Ancients and their technology. Share with the others and even the Athosians if they're to remain and help us."

Teyla said they'd like to and I nodded before telling her she'd be amongst the first, but first we had something to deal with. She asked what and I grabbed her necklace, popping it off. "This is a wraith beacon. It's too weak to be picked up way out here, but if you'd gone off world you'd likely have attracted the wraith to you. We'll find a suitable planet to leave it on, perhaps one being sucked up by a black hole would do."

I passed it to Hermiod and he said he would do what he can. In the meantime we got some rest and by morning we all knew what our work was. A week passed before the deep space sensors were repaired. From there we saw all the wraith slowly waking.

What was more interesting was the Lantean war ship, the Aurora, activated it's beacon. I went personally in a modified jumper as Sheppard called them. I'd modified it with Hermiod's help and he with Selmak and Ro'tak came with me. We arrived before the wraith and managed to get the ship semi operational before blowing the wraith cruiser and darts to space dust getting sublight engines online.

With some repairs to the hyper drive thanks to Hermiod, we managed to get it back to Atlantis and land it after a day. Repairs took a lot longer and Heimdall helped me get the Lanteans inside revived into cloned bodies since they'd aged rapidly. We learned the wraith's ship's weakness was a specific type of chemical that could erode the hulls of the ships and effectively kill them like a disease since their ships were organic by design.

The captain of the Aurora, Malcom, was more than happy to share the information while the Lanteans on the ship were extremely happy to be home. They became apart of my faction after a fashion since I'd taken over officially as the High Chancellor of Atlantis in the city's logs. Being that I was responsible for their safe revival and was essentially working towards restoring Atlantis, they were more than happy to join me. Malcom dialed up the Asuran home world and we reprogrammed the Asurans to repair Atlantis and supply us with ships, ZPMs and everything they could.

When the Asurans were done, I insisted they be wiped out and reduced to nanite cells with the anti replicator wave device. In one move all the Asurans were wiped out before more were made with no more function than to mine Neutronium, make war ships and make potentia. The potentia process could only be made by a replicator because of the danger involved. For that matter I'd wiped all chances of the Asurans revival from all their memory banks in the world they'd built.

With Atlantis fully operational including the under water jumper bay, I learned of the Satellite weapon, the wraith cruiser and queen on the ocean floor and the crashed wraith supply ship on a nearby planet in this solar system. I had the satellite repaired, the wraith queen killed and the ships taken to the platform for study of a possible delivery system to destroy the ships fast. The wraith that had survived on the supply ship was captured for study easily and soon the satellite weapon was fully operational and automated.

I had it cloaked for now and more made by replicators, planting them throughout the solar system and cloaked as well. Hundreds more were made and placed around the planets like Athos. I came up with a shield that triggers when sensors pick up wraith organic technology. We had them put on all the stargates of every planet while the satellite weapons were put in place and the humans in the galaxy were warned the wraith and the Ancients were back.

I found the radiation leaking war ship and repaired it, moving it into position over Taranis, an ancient war ship dry dock outpost. The people there were naive but they knew were were apart of the Ancients faction and gave the base over. The ship, the Hippaforalkus, was fully repaired and upgraded before I gave it to Dr.Weir for her faction with the radiation leak fixed ship. By the time the Atlantis expedition ran into the kid planet that needed a ZPM which we provided, I was busy meeting with the Travelers.

Their leader, Larrin, wanted our help so their ships were all repaired fully, dozens more were made and we took the ancient war ship they'd found in exchange. She and I spent a very long time getting acquainted and she wanted access to Lantean technology for her people, so I gave it to her in a way. She was expecting by the time we parted ways and she knew as much. She gave me a particle magnum as I show of her affection and told me she'd come find me when she wanted more unbelievable sex.

That bitch was thirstier than a dehydrated priest in a room full of alter boys holding jugs of water. Anyways, the Travelers were given a com link to contact us and vice versa. Larrin had kept said link while I stroked her poor hammered thighs as we'd laid in bed. I simply wondered how much like Allison's aunt she was.

A part of me had kept the woman and after letting her have revenge, had made her mine in a way. I shrugged not knowing all of it and not caring. Still, the similarities were there, but the sexy controlling side of her only made me want to fuck her into submission more, like I did Sam frequently back on earth. Anyways, back to the topic, we had reliable intel, allies and soon contact with the Genii.

The Genii planet was protected by several satellites, an anti wraith shield and now their agreement with us. We cured their people of radiation sickness entirely and them alongside a coalition of worlds with warriors, agreed to be our ground forces while we engaged the wraith in ships. The Genii provided us with the location of a crashed Lantean cruiser we were able to repair.

It was given to them since their people had ships before they were culled long ago. The travelers had been given a link system that had taught them how to make and understand their own ships so the Genii's gift was similar as well, to help them remember what they'd lost according to the Ancient's database on Atlantis. All over the galaxy cloaked satellite weapons and anti wraith shields were killing wraiths fast.

Still, we were preparing the chemicals and ships to wipe out the wraith all at once starting with the cloning factories. The Travelers had agreed to help and with my mind controlling the replicators through a subspace neural link I'd had made embedded, the wraith barely had a chance to wake before their ships and the planets they were on were bombarded with the aerosolized chemicals that destroyed their ships and made them impossible to make more on said planets for centuries to come.

The same chemical had been mixed with a nano virus that killed anything wraith and dissolves with them so most of the wraith were killed fast while the Iratus bug infested home worlds were destroyed utterly with planet busters. We weren't taken any chances at all. Still, about a dozen ships had escaped the initial bombardment and tried escaping only to be tracked and destroyed systematically as they dropped out of hyper space in jumps. Only when all ships were destroyed were ground forces allowed to go in to known wraith outpost planets and kill on contact.

Wraith facilities were destroyed either by nukes or from orbit while surviving wraith were quickly hunted down. All the stargates in the Pegasus galaxy were equipped with anti wraith shields so any attempting to use the stargate would be destroyed that way. They were a plague and it was quickly dealt with. Once that was done, the armada of replicator and ancient ships were returned to Asura and Atlantis.

From there, a peaceful delegation was sent out to all the former Lantean outposts and research facilities that were long abandoned. The Lantean technology was returned and so was the cruiser. The Genii had their own ships being built now and didn't need it any longer. The wraith were scanned for on every planet and eliminated entirely.

The Vanir made themselves known and the Aesir with us helped them regain their human like forms. The Attero device was decommissioned entirely and the outpost taken apart by replicators. Most other failed project outposts including the Arcturus outpost on Duranda, were dismantled and stopped entirely. McKay had wanted to make it work, but after our discovery of what went wrong, I found it in the High Chancellor's top secret classified files.

I shut him down cold telling him that no one can predict what is inherently unpredictable and if he screwed it up he'd rip a hole in the fabric of our reality that would expand and consume our entire galaxy at the very least, if not the universe if he kept it on too long. He asked why we couldn't just pull the energy from another universe's space time and I grunted, saying. "The multiverse is more complicated than that. Even if you could pick and choose what parallel reality to pull it from, there are very few realities devoid of absolutely all life. Assuming it were possible to make the energy stream bridge any reality chosen would then be put under the same destruction as our own would've had the project been used. You could be killing billion or even trillions of innocent lives throughout that universe without even being aware of it because they hadn't advanced enough to notify us of the situation. In a single moment from the time you could make such a device to the time you flipped the switch you'd be going from a scientist with a god complex to a universal destroying mass murderer who likes to play God."

McKay flinched hard and Dr.Weir shut him down as well. I waved a hand saying he could do what he wanted because the blood would be on his hands and he'd be drowning in it until he likely puts a bullet in his own head. The weapon satellites were all pulled back to Atlantis's solar system for now while the replicators mined all the neutronium out of their planet and handed it over. Seeing as the Lanteans wouldn't just hand Atlantis over because it was their home, I got their agreement and we found a city ship referred to by the locals of the planet it was on as the Tower.

The replicators used the neutronium to repair it after I kicked the asshole royals out of it. It had a full complement of drones and was only missing a stargate which was easily rectified and the ZPMs to power it once it was fully repaired. Once that was all done, the Atlantis expedition took the city ship to the Milky Way so that all Jaffa, Asgard, Tok'ra and humans could study and learn all it had. Mal helped me put in a limiter that prevented them from using the knowledge wontonly, sort of like a parental lock until such time as they were ready.

Even the Asgard weren't entirely ready for some of the things in there. Such as it is, we saw them off and I remained with Mal for a time while we found the Tria and her crew. They joined us in Atlantis while the Athosians had returned home. I told Helia and Mal that I was stepping down after a future Dr.Weir was found in stasis.

There were over six hundred Lanteans now, earth and it's allies had a city ship and two Aurora class ships while the Pegasus galaxy was safe from the wraith and Asurans. I did retrieve the ZPM from the brotherhood that hid it. I personally had ten spare ZPMs and the rest went with the Lanteans or were with the Atlantis expedition whom settled into another planet in the Pegasus galaxy for now. I retrieved and repaired the Tria, making it my personal ship for now.

The extra ZPM I got from the brotherhood's hiding place augmented the ship's shields so I returned to the expedition group with a ship of my own and the Lantean's blessings. They had more than enough ships and city ships to go around as it is. Still, they'd likely have them cannibalized for raw materials or something since there were only six hundred of them in total. I learned the Tok'ra had made a home world in the Milky Way and Egeria had passed so that Aiyana could come live with her people.

In the meantime the Ori were causing problems in the Milky Way, the Jaffa were using the Dakara device to destroy them and other worlds full of innocent people and SG-1 was on a mission to find Merlin. I saw no reason to stay in the Pegasus galaxy after nearly three years of fighting and discoveries. I brought my upgraded ship to bare down on the Ori ships in the Milky Way galaxy, destroying half a dozen ships before SG-1 found Merlin with the help of Ganos Lal. My ship was cloaked over the planet while I met with Merlin, Adria and SG-1 below.

Adria was none too pleased with me, but like her, I had the full power of an ascended while in human form and so did Merlin or Moros. She was weary of me clearly, having heard of what I'd done to Anubis. Moros said his device must be completed and Adria wanted to use it on the others here in the Milky Way. I teleported to her, pulled the necklace off of her and knocked her ass out physically.

There was no way I was going to fight her directly. I turned to Merlin and his device. "You won't need that. I'll take care of the Ori myself. As for her, I can only suggest we not be here when she wakes up. Moros, release your burdens and ascend. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

He looked to me then to my ring when he saw the answer in my mind. I told him telepathically that it was better than destroying them and removes any chance some might escape. He nodded slowly and I began to glow after closing his eyes. He ascended and Ganos Lal thanked me, telling me that she had a hand in my creation hoping I'd be able to equal or best the Ori's own creation.

I glanced at her and Moros wearily before they left. Colonel Cameron Mitchell grunted. "Great, now what?"

I smiled wryly before beaming up all the ancient technology and the repository along with us. Only the device remained and Ganos Lal destroyed it. I told the team as I sat down in the control chair on the bridge. "Sit, we're going on a trip to the Ori home galaxy through the super gate. There I'll deal with the Ori before using an ancient device on the Doci, the leader of the Priors in order to stop them all. Hopefully it'll be enough provided Adria or whatever doesn't ascend and go crazy afterwards, but then I suspect the others will stop her if she does."

They sat in the crew chairs and Sam asked what I'd been up to while we jumped into hyperspace. I told her everything that happened in the three years in the Pegasus galaxy. The latter half being mostly diplomatic and all that not so fun stuff. She knew most of it already, but she was surprised I'd had a child with Larrin of the Travelers.

My daughter was nearly two now and living on a cloaked orbital satellite station the Travelers built by my suggestions. They were all surprised I'd wiped out six of the Ori ships in the Milky Way galaxy. Hell, even the Asgard were at war with the Ori in their home galaxy Othala so it had to end before they were wiped out as well. When we reached the super gate, I triggered it and it dialed out.

My ship cloaked and went through as soon as it was done. When we exited the super gate shut off and I set a course using my knowledge of the Ancient's history and star maps to find Celestis, the original home world of all Alterans. It didn't take long in hyperspace to reach and once my ship was in orbit, I beamed up the Ark of Truth. Sam asked what it was and I told them what it was meant for and what it could do while explaining why the ancients never used it.

Smiling, I stood up. "Amelius, the ancient that made this device, is the same one that invented the stargates which is how there are the oldest version of stargates here in this galaxy. It's also why the ancients had to flee so far that the gate system here couldn't reach them easily. Twenty million years in FTL to find the Milky Way galaxy and settle down in their fastest ships at the time."

I told them I'd be back and send them to the Doci when I was done. I beamed down into what the Ori followers called the holy city. When I arrived, the Doci tried to stop me thanks to the Ori being there. I blasted him aside and entered the wall of flames.

It burned at first, but my ring changed that as the Ori were all sucked inside with no chance of escape. Several hundred ancient ascended beings made up the collective power that was known as the Ori and now they were trapped in my ring. I flew out of the darkness with my command over telekinesis and landed on the ledge. With a thought, the team beamed down just as the Doci recovered and screamed because the Ori were gone.

Then came the ark of truth which SG-1 used with my guidance on the Doci. He saw the truth, that the Ori weren't gods and was forced to believe it with the brainwashing technology of the ark. Soon after his staff glowed and all Priors in all galaxies saw the truth. The wars came to a halt and I destroyed the ark with a wave.

The Doci asked what he was supposed to do now. I shrugged. "Lead your people, help them release their burdens. This war was not your fault nor theirs. It was caused by an ancient factions that set themselves up to be gods. Help your people understand that and perhaps one day they will believe it. For now though, call them all home. Adria will want to try and take over or ascend and try to force you all to do so, don't let her."

I patted his shoulder. "A wise man once said that even in the darkest of place, one need only turn on the light to find hope again. Be their light and help them even if you yourself don't believe it. Perhaps one day you'll not feel the strain of the false hope and it will become real for you as much as it is for them. Remember this and you will understand and be at peace. What you do, you do for them because it has to be done."

He nodded slowly and I smiled wryly. "Oh, and once your people have returned, dismantle and destroy your super gate. We'll be doing the same. Both sides need to heal and recover so that they can forgive themselves as much as each other."

He said it would be done so I beamed the team and I up to my ship before heading back to the Milky Way galaxy through the super gate. The next year or so was peaceful and Sam joined me in the Pegasus galaxy. The Dakara device had been taken apart and destroyed by the ancients when they learned what it'd been used for, Adria had ascended and found herself one amongst many with no extra power from worship.

She stopped by from time to time to discuss why I didn't trap the others as well. She had no followers and none of her people as she put it would speak to her. The others had warned her they could and would stop her if she abused her ascended powers, so she tried taking my ring and ended up empty handed. She changed when even Vala, her mother, wouldn't speak to her.

She was lonely and I was one of the few that would speak to her when she came around. In the end she retook human form and became one of my lovers of which I had three now, Sam, Adria and Larren. All my other ties to earth had been severed away when I'd gone to Atlantis. My blood relatives and most of earth itself thought I'd died.

Armor Tech had become the leading industry in all thing advanced or alien. Teleportation, fly cars, all of it was relative because mostly only the rich could afford them besides the governments in the know. Sam retired when she became pregnant and Helios, the city ship we lived on became her home as much as it was mine now. Larren told me she'd given over the command of her ship while I stroked Sam's very pregnant stomach and watched the sunset with Adria and Larren beside us.

Sam told me that Larren had been given the extension serum and the ATA treatment like herself and Adria so we had a thousand years to look forwards to. Adria said they'd found the coordinates for Destiny in the copied database and earth planned on sending a team. So did Asgard, the Tok'ra and the newly redefined Free Jaffa Nation. The Lucian alliance was causing trouble for earth and the earthlings still had a year or two to find the right power distribution required to dial Destiny's nine symbols address.

I told them I'd go and Sam asked about the children. I shrugged saying we'd leave them with her father once it was time. She hesitated and I promised it'd be only for a few months and it's not like the old man is living in squalor. He'd benefited a lot with her selling her monetary shares of Armor Tech and giving her family all the cash.

General Carter was living his life happily and would be for the next thousand years as well. A few months later Sam had given birth to another of my daughters while Adria was pregnant now. A copy of the Daedalus earth ship appeared in orbit over the planet so I used the Tria's teleporters to get myself and Sheppard's team aboard. We found it had an alternate reality drive and I managed to get capsule supplies aboard before the ship jumped into another reality with us on it.

I went about repairing the ship while the messed around searching for the cause. I had human form replicator builders pre-made for ship repairs so the hyper drive and everything soon had fully been repaired along with shields, weapons and all the other issues the ship had. We jumped again and ended up in battle against a cyborg alien ship that was attacking an alternate reality Atlantis.

I managed to gain control over the reality drive while McKay screwed with it. Unfortunately there was a dead Atlantis team aboard, but that wasn't the issue at the momen. I moved John off and hooked up my neural link to the ship, destroying the alien ship and it's fighters after scanning them. The alternate Atlantis below was relived and contacted us saying the ancients had all died even from the Tria.

It was a long story, but they were safe so I took out the Asurans for them, got them ZPMs, city ships and wiped out the alien cyborgs. I told them they were created to defeat the wraith in any reality they could get to so they enslaved their own galaxy and came to this reality through a modified stargate. With the excess ZPMs and city ships, I used capsules to contain them all, leaving this Atlantis with half the ZPMs, some replicator builders and half the neutronium from the Asuran home world.

Twenty percent of the planet's mass had been taken by me with capsules because forty percent of it had been neutronium. Trillions of tons of neutronium were added to my supply. In the meantime we retried the Tria, repaired it and left it to the Atlantis team to use with a ZPM upgrade and several city ships from Asura. We went back one reality and found Atlantis under the sea of Lantea. The Atlantis expedition there were all dead floating in water so I managed with a kinetic armor suit and replicators to replace the dead ZPMs, raise the city, save the Aurora crew, the Tria and get both the Hippaforalkus and the derelict abandoned war ship with a radiation leak.

I had the Asurans destroyed and their supplies given to the ancients except half the neutronium and potentia. We helped in eliminating the wraith before I wiped out the Ori, stopping the war. It was a lot and took weeks, but we returned to our reality and I passed earth ten ZPMs, leaving them with that for the alternate reality Daedalus since it technically didn't belong to them in the first place. I kept the jumper aboard it and buried the Atlantis team using the stargate portal after a fashion to atomize their remains and scatter them throughout the universe.

The alternate reality Daedalus was shut down and put away while Mewtwo had decided to stay in this reality and live amongst the Asgard. It was a reality that valued the power of one's own mind and he found ascension fascinating, achieving it himself one day. He told me my secrets would forever remain between us and I thanked him, calling him my oldest friend. In the meantime, I was deeply involved in earth's process for choosing a team for Destiny.

So much so that I ended up balls deep in Chloe Armstrong, the daughter of the senator who was finding the expedition. She wasn't the only one, though she found me fascinating like Lt.Tamara Johansen did when I cured her genetic disease. Tamara was another of my lovers and the first of the newest three I'd taken to get pregnant just before the expedition happened. Sam, Adria, Larrin, Tamara, Chloe and Amanda Perry were all the lovers I'd taken and besides Tamara, they were very open about everything.

All of them knew about the others and since Aiyana was with Mal like Helia and his assistant captain, none of them complained that it wasn't the way of the ancients. So there we were on the Icarus base while Dr.Rush and his wife who'd been cured of cancer for his cooperation, worked with the young Eli Wallace to calculate the power requirements for the nine symbol address. I smirked when Senator Armstrong asked if they'd get it right over dinner after the failed test. Rush looked to me with Eli and I told them. "The calculations aren't wrong. Eli's math is entirely correct."

Dr.Rush asked what it could be then and I sighed. "The ancients way back when only wanted themselves to have access so they made it so that only earth could dial the ship's stargate."

The mess hall went quiet and all eyes turned to me as I explained. "There are literally hundreds of galaxies between Destiny and us. To cross that distance you have to think bigger. The gate addresses here in the Milky Way are all contingent on representations of the stars, not really symbols, but points in space to make up a charted course if you will. Now imagine that instead of one planet having a symbol to represent the coordinates, an entire galaxy was represented by one symbol."

I held up a hand and earth's symbol appeared in flames over my palm. Dr.Rush spoke. "The point of origin is incorrect."

I nodded. "Though be careful going through. Destiny jumps into FTL a lot and it causes any gate connection to thin and well, be painful for those traveling."

After dinner, everyone rested up and the next morning they were all packed and ready. Unfortunately the Lucian Alliance attacked while the wormhole was just established successfully so those in the base had little choice except to enter the gate. Everyone had capsule packs that held everything weightlessly so it wasn't an issue, but it was a necessity that we head through immediately. I was the last one through as all my lovers had helped people through including Chloe's father who still had reservations.

The planet blew up and the gate connection cut off so we were essentially stranded. The Senator asked if I could send them back to earth and I nodded. "I can, but it'll be a one way trip. The amount of power required to make and stabilize the wormhole is the very limits of what Adria and I can channel together as near ascended beings. If you all go back, there's a good chance no one will make it here again considering how rare a planet like Icarus is."

The injured people like the Senator were quickly treated and repair bots were repressed with excess supplies to seek out and repair the ship according to the specs in Atlantis's database. The Asgard with us said they'd stay while some others like Rush wished to stay as well. My lovers said they were staying and Chloe argued with her father who backed off. He wanted to say more, but pissing me off wasn't wise and he knew it.

Half the funding from the project had in fact been donated by Armor Tech. That was tens of billions of dollars for one project. The Air Force officers like Scott and Greer were hand picked for this mission so they were staying along with the Tok'ra, Jaffa and more than half the earth's scientists aboard now. Those that wanted to go back were given their chance when I dialed earth telepathically with Adria's help.

They contacted the SGC and got permission to go through while the rest stayed. Jack wished us luck and told us they'd find another Icarus planet. I warned him Langara was too unstable and would likely be destroyed regardless if it were used like Icarus. He said they'd come up with something and contact us with the long range stone device.

We let the gate shut off and nearly collapsed. Sam and the others got us to our new beds while the replicators continued to repair the ship everywhere. When air became an issue, we dropped out of FTL after the replicators told the ship what we needed. Soon the air scrubbers were fixed and the water tanks were full.

Eli Wallace had stayed because his contract had his mother receiving a cure for her AIDS, paying off her hospital debt and leaving her with enough to live off of for the rest of her life in exchange for his continued cooperation. A few bumps in the road later and Destiny found another Destiny and Rush from an alternate timeline where I hadn't come with them and they'd tried dialing earth while inside a star. I retrieved and repaired the alternate Destiny for myself since the alternate Rush died from temporal cascade failure.

Unfortunately we didn't have the technology with us to save him. On the bright side I gave Colonel's Everett and Young control over their Destiny ship which had been fully repaired like my own Destiny soon was. My lovers and I stayed on the nearest habitable planet for a time while our ship was fully upgraded including with a reality and wormhole drive. My lovers were told my biggest secret and they eventually told Daniel, Jack and Teal'c alongside many others on earth and across the galaxies.

It wasn't like I wanted it to be kept a secret any longer, I just didn't care either way. They joined me in the painted world before Tamara gave birth. We retrieved our children and a clone of me soon died after taking in all the others that wished to come with us including the ancients, Nox, Tollans, Tok'ra and some Asgard. A world of endless wonder was promised and they got it.

All of the painted world was peaceful and advanced cities, not just Ancient, but of many kinds and designs, awaited them all.
