'Go, go go! Everyone back to the gate!" yelled Sheppard over the gunfire. He fired his P90 at their pursuers, who promptly fired back.

"I thought this was supposed to be a diplomatic mission!" yelled Dr. Weir, running ahead to dial the gate.

"As did I. However things do not always turn out as they should."

"What the hell-" yelled Sheppard. "Did that guy just- disappear?"

"One less for us to take down." grunted Ronon.

"Whatever, get through the gate!" yelled Sheppard, punching in his iris code while draining the last of his ammo.

"Engage the shield!" Sheppard yelled, his voice echoing. "Hello?" He looked around and found the gate room empty. "Teyla, Ronon, cover the gate!" Sheppard ran through the gateroom door and up a staircase to the control room. He slammed down his fist on what he hoped was the shield control. The dialing computer buzzed and the button lit up. Before he could hit what he hoped was actually the shield button the gate disengaged, with no one coming through.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Dr. Weir. The rest of ATL-1 and Dr. Beckett was in tow.

"I don't know, it doesn't make sense! The control room is empty!" squawked Rodney from behind a console.

"Rodney," warned Sheppard. "Maybe some sort of radiation attack?"

"No, it couldn't have been a hurried evac," Rodney paused. "Oh no. This is bad."

"Rodney." This time it was Dr. Weir. "What's the problem."

"The whole city is empty, the ZedPM is almost depleted, an we're submerged. It's just like when we got here the first time. Oh yes and hold on, because we're about to rise."

There was a rumble as the clamps released from the ocean floor then a steady vibration as the city began to rise. Soon the city surfaced with a massive splash of water.

A lost city had risen again.

But didn't it do that just a few years ago?

"Colonel, I want you to check for any signs of our people," ordered Dr. Weir. "Rodney, try to figure out what happened."

Rodney was already unpacking his tablet. "What- oh yes, that's what I was doing."

"There's no one and nothing. The lights are on, but nobody's home." reported Sheppard.

"We don't have any food or medical supplies either." reported Carson.

"The computer is like no one touched it for thousands of years. There's no record of us or anyone else being here before. It's like the last few years have been undone. That includes the ZedPM."

"Well one thing's for certain. We have to contact Earth soon, or we won't be able to survive." Sheppard chimed in.

"Dagan." said McKay.

"We force it out of them?" asked Sheppard.

"Are you sure that's wise?" asked Dr. Weir.

"Would you rather take one from Asuras?" asked McKay.

"Well, it would be more ethical," commented Weir.

"Forget it, we need that ZPM!" stated Sheppard.

"He's right, you know. We need that ZPM, and we need it quick."

"Okay, I'll allow it. Rodney, you stay here with me and Dr. Beckett." Elizabeth sighed. It was her only choice.

The next chapter will be longer. Please leave a review. They help me a lot.
