The Adventures of KinSlayer And His Elites

Chapter 2

“Unscheduled Off world Activation!”

The call rang out throughout the base, and through the window, the team saw the Stargate rumble into action, as someone was attempting to get through to the base.

Motioning to the team, General Hammond showed the way to main operations, and then asked the technician “Sergeant?” To which the confused reply came “I don't know sir. All our teams are home, and we aren't expecting anything from the Tok'ra.”

Deon looked at KinSlayer and asked “Tok'ra?” Casshern took Deon aside and said “The Tok'ra are allies to the Stargate guys. They may sound weird, but trust me, they are on our side.”

Meanwhile, as the Stargate connected to the incoming wormhole, the technician said “we have an incoming radio signal.” After a moment, the General said “Open the Iris.” As the Iris opened, everyone stood as though stunned from the message that came through. “This is Commander Michael Drayfold of the USS Archangel. Is KinSlayer there?” Everyone looked immediately at KinSlayer, and General Hammond said, “Looks like they are looking for you, son. You can talk to them via the microphone here.” Unnerved, KinSlayer slowly stepped forward, and after clearing his voice, said “I am KinSlayer. Where are you talking from? Other than your starship.”

“Sir, I am speaking from your starship orbiting the planet. Now I know this may seem a little confusing, but if you would allow me to transport you here, I will be able to both show you and explain.” Said Commander Drayfold. Then General Hammond said, “Commander, how do we know that you are not just waiting for KinSlayer and his team to transport aboard before leaving this system?” Just then, the radio signal went dead, and the wormhole closed. Colonel O'Neill looked at the General, and said “Well, either the decided not to go any further with that, or we are.....” He was cut short as both KinSlayer and his team, and Colonel O'Neill and the entire Stargate team, including General Hammond were teleported aboard the Archangel.

Looking around, the Stargate personnel found that they were weaponless, and looking at KinSlayer's team, they also found that their weapons wouldn't activate, save for the blades that some of them carried. “Looks like it will be me-lee only.....hope they don't have too many ranged weapons”, said Casshern. “Ok, now where are we?” said Colonel O'Neill, looking around, everyone found that they had been teleported into what looked like a cargo bay. “Are we prisoners?” asked Oracle, “No you are not.” came the reply from above them.

Looking upwards, they could see 3 men looking down on them, 2 of them armed, who they determined to be security personnel, and the 3rd one standing in front on them looking like an officer. “I am Commander Drayfold, and you are aboard the USS Archangel. I thought it best to beam you all aboard the vessel, so as to confirm to yourselves that we are all on the same side.” At that, General Hammond replied, “I did not give you permission to bring us aboard your vessel.” KinSlayer stepped forwards and asked “You said it was my vessel? What do you mean?” To this, the Commander replied, “You are the Captain of this vessel, as well as the owner of the fighter that you arrived in. You are also required back with your fleet, as we are finding ourselves in between two enemies who are fighting each other. One of the enemies is the Borg, the others.....I do not recognise, but I believe your Stargate friends do.”
Both Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond looked at each other, and then the General asked, “What do these enemies you don't recognise look like?” Then Colonel O'Neill interrupted saying “Or better yet, what do their ships look like?” Commander Drayford looked at O'Neill and answered him saying “The ships look like flying pyramids, but, black in colour.” O'Neill just said one word, “Anubis”. KinSlayer spoke up and asked “Who is winning?” To which the answer came “Anubis” Major Carter then said to everyone, “Well, it could've been worse.” O'Neill just looked at her and said “It could?” “Yes Sir”, she said, “it could've been the Replicators these Borg were fighting.

“Ok.....so we have the Borg fighting Anubis' ships.” said KinSlayer, “And you are saying that my fleet is in the middle. How is the fleet faring?” Commander Drayford replied “Well, if you would accompany me to the briefing room, I can show you.” After thinking for a bit, KinSlayer replied “Ok, but only on the condition that everyone is allowed to come along as well.” Nodding to the accompanying security officers, who came down to the lower desk of the cargo bay, they escorted the team to the briefing room, which was near to the bridge of the ship.

On the way up, the Commander explained a bit about the ship, of which will be noted below:

The ship is a very large design of a class named: Archangel, and as it is the first ship of it's class, it is also named the same. It has a crew compliment of 3,500, and can travel up to 1,200 times the speed of light. It carries a squadron of 15 Raptor style fighters, and has an armament capacity of several cluster torpedoes bay, and molten shrapnel “blasters” which are fired through what can be only described as a heavily modified Gatling Gun, which is capable of firing 5,000 rounds a minute.

In the briefing room, Commander Drayford loaded up on the nearby screen an image of what looked like 3 fleets of ships. “What you can see here, are the 3 fleets involved in this battle. The ones in the middle are ours. The ones on the left with the Egyptian sign, belong to Anubis. The ones on the right, with the sign of a green hand belong to be Borg. Now the Borg don't bother us much, as they have been fighting a losing battle with us for the past 8yrs. No matter what ship they send, we blow it up with few casualties. However....with Anubis' ships...we are struggling to hold them. Where both sides have arrived near us, we have retreated from them to see who won the outcome, and then attacked the survivors. So far the Borg have never won a fight with Anubis.”

“How do you do against the remaining Anubis' forces?” asked Colonel O'Neill. “Not well. Even with the highly technological advantage we have against his forces.....we have been very slowly losing territory against him, with only a few victories. It isn't that we can't beat his ships, as we can blow them out of the sky with minimum ease.....it is just that we have orders to disable them so that we can get information on them. But when we board the ships.....we are swarmed and taken out by some strange soldiers in black.” At this, Colonel O'Neill looked back at Major Carter, who then said “They are called Kull Warriors. They have a very high resistance to energy and fast moving projectile weapons, which means if we shoot at them with either the staff weapons, or our P90's.....” Deon interrupted “nothing will harm them.” Major Carter continued “precisely. Now we have done some research into bypassing the Kull Warriors shields, but so far, we only have a handful of weapons with which to fight against them.”


Thinking for a bit, Casshern asked, “What about arrows and crossbow bolts?” Colonel O'Neill just looked with a stunned expression on his face, “Excuse me? Arrows? I am not Robin Hood, and the General is not the Sheriff of Nottingham, and I can't really see Anubis as wicked Prince John, though I wouldn't push it past him.” In reply, Casshern said “Well, if I remember rightly, before you were able to use a prototype energy weapon to take out the Kull Warriors, you had used a special tranquilliser dart to take one out. Within our armours,” he said motioning towards KinSlayer, he said, “we have special darts and spinning blades that we could use to take out the Kull Warriors.” Major Carter replied, “Sir, that might just work. If KinSlayer and his team could join us in missions against the Kull, we might be able to turn the tide of this war in our favour.” At this O'Neill asked “I don't suppose you could let us use them....spinning.....blade weapons?”

“They are called Shredders,” came his reply. Continuing, KinSlayer said, “and I don't know if the technology can be put into a gun. I don't mean the firing part, I mean the ammo magazine.” Oracle then spoke up asking “Why have our realities combined though? I mean ours”, she said motioning to her, KinSlayer, Deon, Casshern, and Erin, “SG-1, and Star Trek. Surely one of our main priorities should be what has brought us together, and also finding out if anything else has joined us.” Looking at Oracle, Major Carter replied, “No matter what happens, we need to make sure the defence of Earth is kept the top priority.”

“From what I can see here,” General Hammond said, “the little lady is correct. We can't put all of our resources into making more and more powerful weapons to take out the enemies we know. Now, as much as I would like to see Anubis destroyed for good, and I expect that Commander Drayford would also like to see the end of the Borg, but we also need to find out what brought us all together, and find out how we can each return to our relative timelines.”

Thinking for a bit, KinSlayer said, “Well, from what I can work out, this all started when I received this armour, so....” Erin interrupted, “Then what we need, might be inside your armour, right?” KinSlayer nodded in agreement.

“Well, for now, our mission objectives are as follows,” said General Hammond, “KinSlayer, you and your team will join SG-1 on their missions and help them in any way possible, including helping to find more ways to take out both of our current enemies. Commander Drayford? Would you let us know if there are any Stargates on any nearby planets with the gate addresses, so we can return to Earth for supplies, and for me to inform my superiors?” In reply, Commander Drayford said “I can do better than that. Not only will we give you all of the gate addresses that appeared in our computer systems when our realities combined, I will let KinSlayer have the Raptor for his own, as it is officially his, as is this ship. I will also let you yourselves have a squadron of 6 Raptors for defensive roles, and also for transport between Earth and the planet we will let you have as a command post.” While all this information, and what the Commander would let the teams have, was sinking in, a communiqué came from the bridge, to which the Commander excused himself, saying he would find out what was wrong and return as soon as he was able to.

However, the waiting period was short-lived, because as soon as he left, the ArchAngel came under attack from unknown assailants.......
