SGA meets the ponies

"That's it." Rodney said blatantly as the hive ship came into view with the atmosphere of the planet disappearing.

"No kidding." Sheppard was being sarcastic but even he got a little worried when he had to go into a hive ship full of wraith.

"It's huge!" Twilight stood with her mouth open at the site of the massive ship. "How is that possible?"

"A lot of science is involved." Rodney told her in the most annoyed tone he could give.

Twilight returned this statement with a stare of aggravation, "Look, I can understand you treating us ponies as if we were underdeveloped primitives the first time we met. But I can assure you that many of us are extremely smart and we don't pride ourselves in technological achievement, so I would appreciate it if you would stop treating me this way." Twilight continued to stare at Rodney with aggravated eyes.

Sheppard had a look of you just got told, and it was by a purple cartoon pony on his face and gave a sly smile while trying to focus on the jumper controls.

"Oh, well, I, um, uhm...well." Rodney was caught off guard by what she had said and began to rub his thumb on his finger in pure embarrassment.

"Ok McKay, how are we getting in this thing?" Sheppard asked as the jumper was now much closer to the hive.

McKay pulled up the display in the jumper, "There." he pointed towards a dart bay. "I've already written a sub routine that I should be able to upload wirelessly to the ships directives. It'll open the bay doors for a few seconds allowing you to fly right into the hive."

"Won't they detect it?" Sheppard asked

"Not a chance, and it'll delete itself as soon as the jobs done. At the most the wraith should see it as a minor glitch." Rodney couldn't help but be proud of his small program.

"Should." Sheppard replied

"Should, probably, will. Look what more do you want from me?" Rodney asked as if he was being talked down to.

"I'd like more of a solid plan." Sheppard said

"Oh ok, right, I make up this plan, which I think is great by the way, and you want to shoot it down." McKay was now acting like a child not getting what he wanted while Twilights' eyes followed the conversation back and forth.

Sheppard was more aggravated in his reply this time. "I'm not saying its bad, it just needs some work."

"Work?!, I came up with this in like thirty minutes. I didn't have a lot of time." Rodney was only growing more childish.

Twilight cut in with a short remark to the both of them, "I think you two need a lesson in friendship more than I do."

Both Sheppard and McKay turned around and gave a strange look towards Twilight, looked at each other then turned their attention back to the hive ship. Ronan on the other hand sat in the back of jumper and laughed slightly to himself.

"Are we close enough?" Sheppard asked

"Almost..." McKay was ready with the code as Sheppard closed in on the dart bay doors. "Alright, transmitting the code."

Sheppard paused briefly then said to McKay in almost a whisper, "I'd call it more of a virus. But we can name it later."

McKay ignored him and watched his tablet. After a couple seconds of waiting the bay doors opened and Sheppard took the jumper in, "Nice work Rodney." he added.

Meanwhile on the hive ships bridge.

"Commander, one of the dart bay doors opened on its own." A wraith said working the controls.

The lead wraith, who was the one who interrogated the ponies, walked over to his station, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure, they just...opened. I closed then back."

The wraith commander had several possible thoughts of what it might have been, "Keep me informed of anything else that is out of the ordinary." The commander then walked off leaving the other to his work.

Sheppard had parked the jumper on a small landing pad keeping the cloak on, then opened the back of the jumper. The team grabbed their weapons and began to step out, looking for any signs of wraith.

Sheppard looked at his life signs detector, "Where's all the wraith?" he asked in disbelief.

Twilight had stepped out of the jumper by now, "Why does it seem so...dark here?"

"That's just how the wraith are, and honestly you'll probably never get used to it." Sheppard responded. "Ok, I've got five life signs. their not human, and their not wraith. That has to be your friends." Sheppard was working the life signs detector while Rodney opened the door that lead into the ship.

As the team walked through the never ending maze of the ships hallways they realized that there was hardly any guards moving around.

"I thought you said there was a lot of wraith that attacked your village?" Sheppard asked

"Well, we couldn't exactly defend ourselves, so it might have just seemed like their was a lot." Twilight explained following the group.

"Sheppard, I've got the location of the elements." Rodney had figured out how to narrow the signal down to a small location on the ship.

"Alright this is a good start, Ronan go with Rodney. Twilight you better go with them to make sure that they actually are the elements." Sheppard continued to explain his plan. "Meanwhile Tayla and I will go get your friends."

Everyone agreed to their task and the two groups split up.

Rodney was at the door of the lab where the elements were being studied. When he opened the door two unsuspecting wraith scientists pulled out their stunners.

"Look out!" Ronan shouted as he pulled out his gun and blasted the two wraith and walked into the lab. "Ok we're clear."

Twilight now had more questions running through her head as she saw Ronan's weapon in action but determined that she would ask later.

"Ok, now where are they-" Rodney stopped as he found a dismantled golden crown along with 5 necklaces. "Are...these the elements?" he asked

"Oh no, what happened to them...They broke them, now what do we have to defend ourselves with!" Twilight was horrified to see the elements broken apart on a lab table.

Rodney started picking pieces of them up and examining them. "I wouldn't call them broken, more like dismantled. I think I can fix them but it'll take some time."

"We don't have time for that." Ronan said heading for the door.

"Right." Rodney replied while putting the elements into a backpack he had brought.

"Alright lets go meet up with Sheppard." Ronan said as he lead the way with Rodney and Twilight following.

"Up ahead, just around the corner." Sheppard said to Tayla as he watched the device in his hand.

Sheppard and Tayla rounded the corner and found a wraith holding cell with the 5 ponies inside.

"Are you five, friends of Twilight?" Sheppard asked

Immediately the group of ponies perked up, even Rainbow Dash turned towards them.

Applejack spoke up, "Ya know Twilight?" she asked.

"Yea, you could say we're friends." Sheppard said as he leaned down to the bottom part of the cell and placed a small charge of C4. "This'll be kind of loud, but if you all just stay at the back of the cell everything will be fine." Sheppard and Tayla then went around the corner while the ponies hugged the back wall.

"Fire in the hole." Sheppard said towards Tayla as he flipped the switch on the detonator causeing the C4 to make a small exit hole in the cell bars which fit the ponies perfectly. "Alright lets get out of here."

The Wraith commander had returned to the bridge and the one he had talked too earlier had important news.

"Commander, The scientists in the lab have been killed and the elements are gone."

"What about the prisoners?" The commander asked.

"I had guards check on them and their gone as well."

The wraith commander was extremely aggravated towards this news, "The dart bay, they will try to escape through the dart bay. I want every guard we have on this ship to head to the dart bay which had the door open."

"Yes, commander."

Just as Sheppard and Tayla turned the corner with the ponies following them they ran into Ronan and McKay.

Twilight saw her friends and ran up to give them a big hug and told them a little bit about the strange creatures she was with. Twilight noticed some blood on Dashes on chest, "Rainbow Dash, what happened?" she asked pointing a hoof at the blood.

Dash refused to think back on it, "I don't want to talk about it." she said while holding her eyes shut, trying not to remember what the wraith had done.

"Did you get the elements?" Sheppard asked towards Rodney.

"Yea but they took them apart."

"Well you can fix them, right?" Sheppard asked

"Look I don't know, I'll have to look them over and-" Rodney was cut off by a wraith stun shot flying past his head.

"Never mind! Everyone to the jumper!" Sheppard yelled while returning fire with Ronan then running with the group.

After turning a few corners they had found the dart bay along with the jumper. When Sheppard uncloaked it the five ponies were in awe of how it looked but Twilight pushed them inside. While Sheppard and McKay took their seats at the front of the jumper.

"Damn it, McKay I just thought of something." Sheppard said looking at Rodney

"What's that?" McKay asked almost frantic.

"What's to stop the wraith from heading back down to the planet after we leave."

"I don't know." McKay began to respond but stopped as they heard stunner shots hitting the jumper.

Sheppard made the jumper take off and used the drones to blast a hole in the dart bay door. "We'll have to figure something out later." he said as he looked at the display which showed multiple darts following them. "Oh crap."

"That's too many darts! We'll never make it." McKay began pointing out the obvious.

"Calm down Rodney and-" Sheppard was cut off by the darts following them being destroyed. "What the hell..."

"I've got another contact!" Rodney yelled.

Suddenly a familiar voice came over the radio, "Colonel Sheppard, this is Colonel Caldwell, Daedalus is ready to assist you."

"Daedalus? What the hell are you guys doing out here?" Sheppard asked surprised at the help.

"Doctor Weir was worried that you might need some assistance, by the way why are we cartoons now?" Caldwell responded.

"Yea we're still trying to figure that out, but look that ships gotta go. Could you show our unwanted guests the door?" Sheppard asked sarcastically.

"With pleasure." Caldwell turned to Major Marks who was working the weapons. "Marks, all forward asgard beam weapons on that ship, I don't want anything left over there."

"Yes sir."

The Daedalus began firing shot after shot with the asgard weapons and made quick work of the intruding hive ship. Only debris remained where the ship once was.

"Thanks Daedalus, we owe you one." Sheppard said over the radio.

"No problem, we'll stay in orbit just in case anymore wraith show up." Caldwell replied.

Sheppard landed the jumper closer to Ponyville this time and opened the back door. The ponies thought they would never see home again and were happier then ever to be back in Ponyville.

"So what will you do now?" Twilight asked looking up at Sheppard.

"Well this is the part where we go home." he responded.

"Oh, will we ever see you again?" Twilights' friends had gathered behind her as she was talking with Sheppard and his team.

"Yea, you will. We still need to figure out what the ancients were doing here and-" Sheppard was cut off by a chariot being pulled by two pegasi guards landing beside them and a tall white alicorn stepping off of it.

"Princess Celestia." Twilight said as she saw her teacher.

"Hello Twilight, Are these the people who helped you get your friends back?" Celestia had walked up to Sheppard who was at an even height with her.

"Yes they are Princess. These are very good people." Twilight responded while moving in closer.

"I see, well thank you for helping them." Celestia responded

"No, problem ma'am. And you don't need to worry about them coming back from that ship in orbit, we took care of that."

"Ship?" Celestia was a bit confused on this.

"It's a long story Princess." Twilight told her. "Oh Rodney, could you show the Princess the elements."

"Oh sure." Rodney took off the backpack and emptied the mess of elements on the ground.

Celestia looked the elements over carefully. "I should be able to put them back together." she said smiling.

"Thank goodness. I thought we had lost them for sure." Twilight replied.

Celestia smiled, "No need to worry, I also had a meal prepared at Sugarcube Corner if you're hungry. And you can tell me all about your adventure there."

"I'm starved." Applejack said while heading for the food with the others following her.

"Would you like to stay and join us?" Twilight asked

"You're more than welcome." Celestia added

"Oh, actually I could go for something to eat right about now." McKay responded looking at Sheppard.

"Sorry, but we have a busy schedule. But we'll back, hopefully sooner than later." Sheppard said giving a nod goodbye to the both of them and then started towards the gate with his team.
