Chapter Five

Aang was sitting in gate room of the Lion Turtle Outpost, or the ElleTiOh as the Tau'ri people called it. It was unique from all of the structures built by the people of his world, as it was made from metal. The metal was various colours of white, grey and black for the most part. Different amounts of chemical elements, the tiny building blocks of all matter which he had learned about. It wasn't the traditional idea of what the elements were, but it was interesting to think about. The room was mostly made up of clean straight lines, with very few decorations. There were a few things on the wall which resembled pictures of their world, except it had locations which didn't seem to be familiar too much. Possible images of the world as it had been thousands of years ago.

In his hands was one of the portable thinking machines the Ancients had left which was hooked into their great library. Aang was studying the information which had been left behind about the technology left behind, especially focusing on the Stargate. A detail image of the stone like device was clear, along with the accompanying images of constellations which were needed to locate planets. His mind was focused on the task which had fallen into his hands, 'Since Ozai used his hidden Fire Nation Stargate to transport himself and a small collection of his loyalist to another planet, it's up to us to bring him back before anything bad happens. Zuko is using the resources of the Fire Nation Armed Forces to search his lands for the gate. It's doubtful Ozai would have taken it another one of the nations when he plans on defeating them. Maybe there's something in the system which would allow us to track it. Meanwhile, we have been looking for Ozai sympathizers
within the project. He had to get information on how to activate a gate without a Dialing Home Device somewhere, as only the Tau'ri had the information. There was an inside man in the prison break with the reports of a guard distracting the main group of officers from the escape.'

'Of course, all of this is not the only reason I'm reading all of these technical manuals I have no clue about. The fact we have sent the first two teams of travellers through the gate. The first missions of our allies had lead into trouble and this could easily end in trouble as well. I didn't know most of the members of the team. There was at least one bender on the team of either fire, earth or water. Or in this case, water and fire. Fire for the offensive power it has and water for the healing properties which can be handy when going to a new place. The first team is being lead by Bato with his experiences with battle and his work to free the Earth Kingdom from war being rewarded.' Aang was recalling all of this as he looked up at the gate which was in a huge room below them.

The gate room was divided into a huge room for holding the gate itself and a little room which was built on the second story of the two story room. It extended halfway in and was filled with the detailed machinery to use the gate and other systems for controlling the outpost. It also contained superstrong glass which allowed one to see everything in the main gate room. It also including the command chair, which the Tau'ri said could controling flying machines called drones. These drones were weapons which could be directed by the minds of those holding the same bloodlines as the Ancients. Aang had to smile at the little ironies which had occured when Sokka arrived at the outpost.

'Who knew that Sokka had Ancient blood within him? It's funny that the guy who's always been so scientific was the descendant of a technologically advance alien race. Or the fact that Suki and Zuko could use the equipment without the Ancient Genie thing the people of the Earth Planet mentioned. Which turns out to be the fact they were holding traces of Avatar spiritual energy, which acts in the same way as the genie. People who are descended from an Avatar can use the technology as well, one of the developments unique to this world. I also never knew that Zuko was Ruko's great-grandson on his mother's side or the Suki's ancestor was Kyoshi herself. The rumours she told us of Kyoshi's children living in the village seems to be true.' Those little nuggets of information did brighten the Avatar's day as it proved that all of the people of his world were related, and who might also be related to all of the people in the universe on either a physical or
spiritual level.

Aang noticed from the time keeping device which the anicent's used it was pass the time for the teams to return back to the gate. They were late by a full half an hour, making Aang even more nervious about the mission. As he put the thinking machine down, Katara stepped close to him standing at his side. She was dressed in a looser version of her Water Tribes dress since the weather was more warm in the enclosed environment of the outpost. It looked like a dress with slits up the sides of the skirt part of it. It was blue as the sea with a white sash and trim on the v neck shape. Her legs were held tight by the blue pants she wore with the outfit, with boots the same grey as Water Tribe Wolf armour. A single dot of white just under the mouth of the boot and minor darker grey on the top of the foot were the only difference in colour for the shin high boots. Her hands were in grey gauntlets which had her fingers and thumbs open to help bend with a blue
cloth covering the hands. It was the same battle outfit she wore during her time in the Fire Nation when not wearing her disguise of borrowed clothes.

He looked up at her with an eyebrow raised before she answered him, "I just figured that I might be needed if something has gone wrong. Best to be prepared for the worse in case... well, in case I have to waterbend."

The unmentioned intent of bending for battle was left out, but was still a possiblity they all knew. Since the Fire Nation's use of deceit in taking Ba Sing Se, everyone was more careful in potentially dangerous circumstances. Aang was in a version of his Air Nomad robes, made for the time he became a technicial fully actualized Avatar. Even if he still had to master Earth and Fire more before he could be confident with his skills. Another bonus with the outpost was recorded information on the moves used by pervious Avatars to the point it was abandon, something he was also reading up on. These robe scould be removed to reveal a simple pair of brown pants underneath, trousers which were close to his body to make bending easier if he let go with something other then airbending. He was also expecting trouble, yet hoping for the chance their fears were unjustified.

Then the gate started to move, with the various chevrons quickly closing and opening to lock in the glyphs. The code which was being put in seemed to be familiar as they portal began to close with a blue shade. As the last seven chevron opened and closed, the water like surface of the event horizon blew from the centre of the ring. As lethal as the steam of the interdimensional gate, when the non-water steam or water moved back into a cloud of pool it was safe. After recieving the GDO code of the one of the two teams, it was then that the teams they had sent out rushed out of the gate. The room with tension as it became apparant there were wounded. Katara took off to the room proper as she knew her duty was to heal. Aang wished her luck as he also headed to the gate room, for as the Avatar it was his duty to protect this world. Even from alien forces with more advance machinery then his own people.

The wave of people rushed in from the gate, as if they were running for their lives before they collapsed onto the gate room floor. The wounded were placed where a troop of waterbenders could use their healing abilities to mend the injuries with qi enhanced water. The most seriously wounded were the one which were treated first as Bato yelled out, "Put up the shield now! We have enemies chasing right behind us."

The movement in the gate room was obvious as the gate was covered with a type of blue energy which seemed to lay across it like a second skin. The energy itself looked like tiny stars or fireflies which moved randomly across the gate's surface. Bato looked at Aang, who himself had taken a good look around. He noticed some of the faces which had go into the gate had not came back with them, while some of the ones which came out of the gate were all new. The older man stood in front of the keeper of the balance and spoke, "It looks like the Stargate's luck holds some what. We experienced a new group of aliens who seem hostile to our way of life. Yet we also found a few allies with the gate as well. I'll explain it all with the meeting with the heads of the project. Now is not the time. We have to restore our strength and look into a possible rescue party for the two we left behind."

Aang nodded as he moved to aid the waterbenders with their healing the best he could without the training for healing. He made a note of it, 'I'm going to have to check with Katara on learning if I can heal just like she can. Now I'll do my best to move the healing supplies to the people who need them."

An hour later...

The meeting was kept small for the moment as those who needed to know and were at hand sat in the room. Aang, Piandao and Bato were the main ones in the room. Piandao was at the head of the table made out of the grey metal of the ancients with a clear glass on it's surface harder then stone. Aang sat on his left, wanting to know everything which had happened by the way of the gate, eyes focused entirely on Bato and the newcommer. With Aang was one of the advisors from the Earth Planet's people. One a Dr. Sato who was specialist in the various specialized sciences of the advance technology of their world, the other was more of an archeaologist by the name of Dr. Roberts. The former was a dark haired, golden skinned man who was in middle age who wore some thick glasses. The later was a younger woman with red hair and green eyes with very pale skin. She just looked like she was getting into the prime of life, yet spoke with the wisdom of years.

Bato seemed to only have suffered from a small strain on his ankle and a minor break in his left arm, with the additions of scratches and scars on the skin of the water warrior. The newcommer was the most interesting character they had seen, for like many of the people from the Stargate's native world, he held darker skin then many of the other people on their world. He was dressed in a strange metal armour with a well-shaved beard and whiskers.

Bato started his announcement, "When we landed on the planet at the address we started to look for a village or city. We went carefully so as to not cause trouble, but trouble seemed to find us. We found a village which seemed to be like any other village on our world, with exception of style. What dominated the centre of the village was a huge shrine to what we took for their version of the Avatar. Stone pillars held up the massive roof with pictures of strange beast and warriors. The people guided us to the temple where there were giant statues of men and women in all types of outfits sitting on giant thrones. They spoke of them as the great spirits named the De'vas, the Ba'el and Ba'elat which they told us meant the Lords and Ladies of Heaven. All were the children of the divine king of all the heavens, who power allowed them to open gateways to the stars. The Celestial Emperior Hadad, he who brought civilization to the world."

Aang was keeping an eye on the reactions of the people on the table, which was mainly confusion with the people of his world with Piandao and Bato. The newcommer was neutral and the two people from the Earth Planet seemed to recognized the words which Bato was mentioning. Deciding to take the Earthbender's train of thought, he headed directly into the issue, "Dr. Sato, Dr. Roberts, do you have anything to say about this?"

"The words which Mr. Bato have mentioned are part of our culture when it was under the rule of the Goa'uld, one of the enemies which we have mentioned before you began your travels. In fact, the Goa'uld Ba'al had been in the recent years a major threat to the people of our universe. The word Devas is a word in our world which can very in meaning from location to location. The original meaning was that of a divine or benevolent spirit, while a major religion reinvented the world to mean the opposite as a demon or malvolvent spirit. Yet how is it that the Goa'uld to exist in this world, it just doesn't seem likely." asked the female doctor as she looked confused and yet interested in the events which was occuring. One of her eyebrows raised itself as she seemed to be thinking of the meaning of the events.

"Could be that the Goa'uld could have found a Q.D. system of their own and travelled some time in the past? But why the importance of Ba'al?" asked Dr. Sato as he looked concern with these new details. His forehead was started to sweat heavily as he seemed nervious.

"I think I can explain. I am Jigme, a student of the Asur'ras. I helped rescue most of your team with my partners after they made the mistake of mentioning the word Avatar in front of the slaves of the De'vas. The Avatars are seen by the De'vas worshippers as insolent children of the great Ba'el Hadad, who need to be taken to the realm of the great king to be punished and train in the use of the power of the De'vas. The Asur'ras are of the same kind as the De'vas who have seeked enlightenment instead of worldly power like the De'vas. They brought our people, the Jafend through the gates of the stars from another world. Or this is what the Asur'ras tells us, adding a note of a earlier trip through the flames of the sun to walk within the time after the ancestors." answered the newcommer as he started to explain what was going, while at the same time Dr. Sato slammed his hand down on the table. Aang saw the light of realization in the eyes of the
middle-aged man.

"Of Course, Solar Flares!" said Sato before the rest of the confused people around him.

"Could you explain further about these solar flares? And what it has to do with these people who have taken two of our people?" asked Piandao, was curious yet keeping his true emotions and thoughts secret through a veil of calm.

"The Stargate has other... quirks and oddities in it's behaviour. Included with it's ability to travel through out space, it can be used to travel through time. To do this, one has to go through a solar flare during their travel with the gate. Yet the exact calculations needed to do this would require massive computing power, far beyond even our own gifted computers. Yet if the Ba'al of our time was able to make the right calculation, he could travel back in time and then move to this dimension. It would give him centuries at least to build up a power structure. We also have hints with it in the name of Jafend which seems to have a link with the Jaffa or slaves of the Goa'uld. This could mean the rebirth of one of the greatest enemies of our world in your world. Stargate Command will need to be notified of these events." spoke the gold skin man as he looked to his teammate and she seemed to agree. It was then that she started to speak.

"I wonder if the Asur'ras would be an equalvalent of the Tok'ra in our universe," she looked around to make sure they were listening so they could understand before beginning again, "The Goa'uld are snake like paracites which attach to a humanoid's spinal column and brain, where they take complete control of their host. Basically the host is enslaved. The reproduce by way of a queen who creates offspring which are implanted to humans to speed up grow, protect them and allow them to easily merge with their host of the same baseline race. Jaffa are those slaves who are implanted, who have also been manipulated in their bodies to better do this job. The Jaffa loose their immune system and their ability to fight off diseases, which force them to take a Goa'uld prim'ta which replaces those systems. The Tok'ra are the same race physically who had rejected the cruelty of the normal society to gain compassion. They only take willing hosts and work with their
host and giving the same human great freedom. They tend to work as spies and guerilla fighters, trying to neutralize the Goa'uld leadership known as the system lords."

"Much of what you say resembles the battles between the De'vas and Asur'ras. The De'vas implant the Jafend with their offspring, speaking of the great gifts of their divine patrons. The Jafend acted as servents and warriors for their patron deities. All writting and knowledge is kept from them, only the Ba'do or Way of Heaven is taught by priests trained by the gods. The Asur'ras have rejected the ways of the De'vas, seeking enlightenment and compassion. They have shared knowledge and wisdom with those Jafend they help rebel against their foes. They offered refuge and shelter from the De'vas, till they rose into a great diplomatic republic. The Asur'ras Republic and Dev'as Empire are at a stalemate with both taking just under half the universe. My friends and I were there on a mission to steal a copy of the Tablet of Destiny, looking for a way to escape without notice. With the chaos your people provided allowed me to escape.' spoke Jigme, as he
continued the explaination of the threat they faced as well as a possible ally.

Aang was still focusing on what to do next, what do to with the missing when he asked, "What do you think have happened to the people who have been captured by the De'vas?"

Jigme was very brief and direct at the possible out come of the two people who had been left behind, "The likelihood is they have been tortured so they would give information on anything the De'vas would like to know. If they prove to be too hard to break or if they would need a spy in their foes ranks, they would be implanted with an adult De'vas so the enemy can be under the control of loyal gods. We Jafend know no way to remove the De'vas ourselves, but the Asur'ras do know of a method which can be used to take out the god from their human hosts."

Piandao nodded as he took in the state of the situation, even as Aang was watching the hope weaken to seeing the missing humans again in a safe condition. The Commander of the Stargate Project in their Universe began to speak, "I have a few questions about what you have told us. One, is there a way for us to contact these Asur'ras so that we might be able to gain their help in saving our friends from such a fate? Two, do you have any idea of the world our friends have been taken to? Three, what is this Tablet of Destiny you mentioned before?"

"We might be able to make a contact meeting between the Guru and your people, but it will take time. As for your people, it can be any one of a number of intelligence bases which are used to strength the empire. Each one developed to break a being's spirit and mind so they can be used by the De'vas. As for the Tablet, it is one of the most important devices of the De'vas. They come in many forms and information levels depending on the user, yet all are connected to the master Tablet under Hadad's control. Only Hadad has full access to all the information of the scroll. The De'vas under him have access to different layers and specialities of the information, but are given the truth of things. The Jafend are given a simplistic form of the Tablet in the forms of stories and legends who shows that they must worship their gods. They learn this from the priest where the gods plant it directly into their minds." Jigma continued with his explaination before
continuing with his personal reasons for trying to get the device.

"Most of the guru have different tablets from when they left the empire for enlightenment, yet soon they are out of date as they are unhook from the system so they can hide easier. So new ones would need to collective to keep up with the changes in the empire. The reason I was going to the planet you're people were on was the need to locate two Asur'ras. Avatar Asur'ras to be exact, which makes it important to gain their return. The De'vas have been trying for centuries to gain one of their number the ability to use the power of the Avatar. They attempted to place one of their in an Avatar and there was a horrible accident they called the Day of Blood Elements. Experiments have gone from weakening the Avatar hosts to giving themselves the power. Overtime there have been the growth of members of their race gaining the spirit of the Avatar, yet each one who gains the spirit has had an enlightenment and rejection of the De'vas way. We worry they might
actually find a way for their experiments to succeed," told alien as he mentioned the trouble he was in.

Sato and Roberts had looks of fear as they hear the news, as did Aang. He had read and heard about the cruelty of the alien symbiotes who had created power on the backs of humans, and bring pain to all who knew or worship them. Endless war and slavery was all one could expect from the Goa'uld and now it seemed they had found a way to set up shop in the past of their world. There was signs of hope they could look at since the people from the Earth Planet had defeated the same evil aliens. Now they had to look to their friends for aid against the forces of the De'vas.

"So what do we do now about the problems we have? Anyone have any advice what we should be doing?" asked Aang as he looked the Earth People and the member of the Jafend.

Meanwhile on another planet...

The room was carved from the whitest marble and then tiled with tiny blue stones, then there was creatures made from gold on the sides of the walls which were made of many different creatures. Also in the room againt pillars to the side of the room which held up the roof were statues of one man repeated in different garb. They wore robes, kimodos, armour and a suit which would not look unusual on a certain blue and green planet. At the end of the room facing the door was a giant throne of unknown material which held gold plating with occational gemstones. On the throne was the same man which the statues were modeled after.

Through huge golden doors walked a single man in a plain tunic and pants of a gray hue. He looked around at the squad of soldiers who stood at key locations around the room. He fell on his kness and spoke to the main on the throne in a booming echo voice, "Lord Hadad, I have been giving the experimental treatment to the two Avatar symbiotes. As you know, the influence of the Avatar spirit has a way to... corrupt the De'vas involved. Makes them weaker in that they accept compassion and selflessness instead of normal De'vas traditions. We have used different mind altering techniques, and the final solution was the effect of living the symbiotes as blankslates for new personalities to replace the old. The new mind should be dominate over the Avatar spirits within them, while holding all of it's skills and information."

"Excellent move, but I can tell from your trembling that you are leaving something out. What is it?" said the king of heaven, as he looked at his top biologist.

"The fact is we can not transfer a de'vas personality to them as you wished, not even yours milord. The only method which seems to be viable would be the transfer of a personality from a human host. Yet where are we going to find a human with the qualties of a goa'uld? It's just not that common is it milord?" spoke the scientist in grey as he looked up to the master of all De'vas.

The king hit the button and a holographic image of a planet appeared before he smiled, 'I know just the location to try and the allies to bring the new host to me!'
