Stargate: Unlimited

Hyrule

"You won't lose me twice." he says "But I can"t just stay here while my friends may be at risk."

Nomad

"They sell for a lot in normal times!" he frowns

Earth

"Parker, you need to learn to relax." he says "There's no hurry."

Dammerung

Well, he gives her the glasses when he's ready.

Valhalla

"Well, let's try and reason with Freya."

Hyrule

"I know that."

Nomad

"These aren't normal times."

Earth

"There is. Our son's health depends on it."

Dammerung

Mary puts them on after a moment.

Valhalla

"Alright." Lenneth smiles a little.

Hyrule

He kisses her cheek.

"See you soon."

Nomad

"Indeed, they're hard times!"

Earth

"And you know as well as I that I have stabilized his situation for a while."

Dammerung

"Ready?" he asks her softly

Valhalla

He smiles too. It probably won't work, BUT. If that makes her happy.

Hyrule

"See you soon..."

Nomad

"And I'm not putting up with this bullshit for anything more than another five minutes. Now you can give me the damn bird or I'm taking it."

Earth

"For awhile, not permanently."

Dammerung

"Ready." She nods.

Valhalla

It does make her happy.

Hyrule

He smiles a bit and goes as quickly as he can.

Nomad

"I'm keeping it. I can't give them for free!"

Earth

"Relax Parker."

Dammerung

He nods as well and initiates the dive.

Valhalla

Well, he takes her where Freya is kept in stasis.

Hyrule

Zelda sighs and waits there.

Nomad

"Then we'll just take one. Members of terrorist groups don't have to worry about local laws after all, do they?"

Earth

She just sighs.

Dammerung

Mary looks around then.

"It... looks like Lost Jerusalem."

Valhalla

Lenneth stares at her.

Hyrule

Welp, hours passes... And he doesn't come back.

Nomad

"Terrorists?" he opens wide eyes

Earth

"That's not what I call relaxing."

Dammerung

He looks too and nods.

"Yes... That has to be from her memories."

Valhalla

Well, Lezard unfreezes her. She recovers much more quickly than Silmeria.

Hyrule

She's obviously getting anxious.

Nomad

"Yeah, AVALANCHE."

Earth

Parker just scowls at him.

Dammerung

"Maybe."

Valhalla

Lenneth watches her for a moment.

Hyrule

After a while, a military comes to knock at her door.

Nomad

"hey, I don't want any business with you guys!"

Earth

"That's not really better."

Dammerung

"That's strange though." he says "She's never been to Lost Jerusalem as far as I know..."

Valhalla

She feels dizzy for a moment, then gains back her spirits. Then stare at them furiously. Lenneth better speak first, or be ready for the flow of insults.

Hyrule

Zelda answers, obviously.

Nomad

"Then give us the damn bird."

Earth

"Get over it."

Dammerung

"That's right, she hasn't."

Valhalla

"Freya, you have to stay calm."

Hyrule

Well, the military aren't being very nice to her and point guns at her immediately.

"Follow us without resistance."

Nomad

"Fine, take one!"

Earth

"I am over it, you aren't."

Dammerung

"Strange..."

He looks around.

Valhalla

"Calm? With blasphemers?!"

Hyrule

"W-what?"

Nomad

"Good choice."

Earth

"Then get used to it."

Dammerung

Mary looks around as well and starts looking for Aiden.

Valhalla

"We are not blasphemers!"

Hyrule

They arm their weapons.

"We said: follow us!"

Nomad

He sighs.

Earth

"Why?"

Dammerung

He looks for her as well.

Valhalla

"You've defied the entire pantheon!"

Hyrule

Zelda nods slowly and goes.

Nomad

Vega grabs one and takes it out.

Earth

"Because this is how I am."

Dammerung

They'll find her sitting at the edge of a lake.

Valhalla

"No! Odin did that on his own! We're fixing his mistakes!"

Hyrule

They take her to the nearest military base, and throws her into a cell. On the bright side, Daniel is in the very same cell.

Nomad

Otacon goes with her.

Earth

"I know, that's why I don't want to get used to it."

Alright, Jarod stops to troll her for today.

Dammerung

chaos looks at her and goes to her, though he doesn't speak for now.

Valhalla

"How about you do a poll then?" she asks and smiles a bit "Since you're so right and mighty! See what they think of your actions!!"

She didn't smile for long.

Hyrule

"Daniel!" She hugs him tightly.

Nomad

"Climb up."

Earth

Parker looks incredibly irritated. He should probably stop trolling her PERMANENTLY.

Dammerung

Mary goes with him and Aiden doesn't say anything either.

Valhalla

"Things are better now."

Hyrule

He hugs her back.

"Are you alright?"

Nomad

He winces and does so.

Earth

Now now, that wouldn't be fun, at all. He grins and goes to sit.

Dammerung

He kneels next to her.

"Aiden...?"

Valhalla

"Really?"

Hyrule

"I was so worried. And then those men came with guns..."

Nomad

Vega climbs on behind him and takes her reins, leading the chocobo towards the marsh.

Earth

She'd be having a lot more fun.

Dammerung

"Hey." Aiden says softly. She dips her bare feet into the water.

"You know, I've never been here. But I know where it is. Even if I didn't start to exist until a couple thousand years later."

Valhalla

"Yes. Really. And you can either accept it or... Or, our only other option is to execute you."

Hyrule

He sighs.

"Yeah, I was afraid they'd find you if they checked my apartment. Oh, I found out why the SGC wasn't responding."

Nomad

"Is this really stable?"

Earth

Fun? Her definition of fun is limited. He takes another book and tries to translate.

Dammerung

He smiles a bit and sits. At least her spirit isn't broken, so there's hope.

"I assume... Those have to come from Mary's memories you have deep inside you" he says

Valhalla

"Live in slavery or die? Your options are limited, Lenneth. I offer you a third. Get rid of that impostor and assume your role!!"

Hyrule

"Who are they? And what happened in the SGC?"

Nomad

"No idea."

Earth

Parker does the same.

Dammerung

"Yeah. That's what I thought..." Aiden says softly.

"I like it here."

Valhalla

"I have assumed my role! I am more powerful than Odin ever was! I am Creator and my choice of consort of none of your damned business."

Hyrule

"Well, they are soldiers from the United States army... And apparently, the SGC doesn't exist." he says "Or rather, the project was abandoned before the first mission to Abydos, from what I've been told. The base is empty."

Nomad

"Great..."

Earth

And he fails, of course, that's a bit too complicated even for him.

Dammerung

"Mary came often here... I did too, after her death." he says and pauses for a couple seconds

"It's relaxing." he adds

Valhalla

She scowls, but hey, since it's her choice... Why not saying things?

"Your soul Lenneth..." she says "I can feel those things. It's different from before."

Maybe the bit Lezard took to create Valkyrie. Just maybe.

Hyrule

"B-but... We were there, the others were there. Your general was there. H-how could it be empty?"

Nomad

"I'll protect you, don't worry."

Earth

Parker keeps looking.

Dammerung

"It is." She nods. Then she finally turns to look at them.

"Why are you here?"

Valhalla

"I am who I am. Who I've always been but now, without being forced into subservience."

Hyrule

"Beats me." he says "They claim it's been empty for years, they've phoned the General Hammond and he is on his way. They said he retired two years ago."

Nomad

He nods slowly. Not sure what she can do against a giant Snake, but well.

Earth

"Any chance?"

Dammerung

He thinks to the best way to word it.

"You didn't wake up." he says "In the real world... You're asleep ever since you took us out from that dimension."

Valhalla

"No, I'm not speaking about that." she grins "But I can feel disturbance, and there is something missing in your soul."

Freya likes to be a bitch, but there's some honesty in her voice that cannot be faked.

Hyrule

"We saw them all though..."

Nomad

She takes the Chocobo across the marsh until they get to the cave.

Earth

"Nothing."

Dammerung

"... I'm alive, at least."

Valhalla

"You're... wrong." But the doubt is there.

Hyrule

"I know." he says "So, the only rational explanation is that someone messed with the timeline."

Nomad

Well, when they arrive near to the cave, since Q has messed with this world a lot already. They get to see the Midgar Zolom that got impaled on a tree by Sephiroth.

Earth

"Looks like we'll need to find a specialist."

Dammerung

"Yeah." he nods "But, we came here in the hope to find why you wouldn't awake."

Valhalla

"I'm not." she says "Those kind of details don't escape me."
