Hello Everyone!

This is my newest story, and it involves two of my favorite Sci-fi franchises of all time.

This is the first time I have ever done a story involving either franchise, so hard core fans of either series, sorry if I forgot something or get something wrong. Although, I will be taking creative divergences from the cannon to help the story along.

I love both Stargate Atlantis and Robotech, so this is going to be a fun one.

Things are going to get crazy, so be prepared.

Without further adieu, on with the story.

Chapter One: Goodbye Home!

It was February of the year 2009 and currently, it was war.

A giant alien fleet consisting of thousands of warships had arrived in the solar system and a portion was currently attacking Earth.

The Robotech Defensive Forces, brave as they were, were incapable of stopping the overwhelming forces of their enemies. Already ARMD-01, -02, -03, and -010 along with two Type One and four Type Three Space Destroyers were completely destroyed with almost all hands lost aboard each vessel.

Currently, the only surviving Earth warship was the flagship Super Dimensional Fortress One, the SDF-1, which was currently only two thousand feet above the Pacific Island of Macross, her resting place for the past ten years.

Right now, the SDF-1 was about to do the unthinkable, use her power Hyperspace Fold engines to Fold the massive warship to the dark side of the moon. Normally this wouldn't be an issue. However, she was only two thousand feet away from the Island and thus inside the gravity of a planet.

Normally, when one Space Folds, they are folding the fabric of space-time, allowing for near instantaneous travel between two points via a micro-wormhole.

However, Folding near a high source of gravity, such as a planet or black hole is very dangerous, as it completely throws off the Fold, making it so the destination is completely random. So instead of exiting out of the fold somewhere safe, one can find themselves in the middle of a black hole and die instantaneously.

In most realities, the Space Fold inside the Earth would send the SDF-1 across the solar system near Pluto and there she would begin her one year trip back to Earth, waging a single ship war against the giant alien invaders called the Zentraedi.

However, just as the Fold system was beginning to activate, a single particle beam from an alien warship struck the SDF-1 near her engines, more specifically, near the point where the Protoculture Matrix was located.

The Protoculture Matrix is the crowning achievement of the Tirolian scientist Zor, for it allows for the creation of Protoculture, the ultimate energy source in their universe. Protoculture is created from refining the pollen of a certain plant called the Flower of Life and the Protoculture Matrix is a factory for doing exactly that and thus allows for an unlimited amount of Protoculture.

However, the humans who refitted the SDF-1 after her monstrous crash into Macross Island never found the Protoculture Matrix because the Matrix was hidden in the engine part of the SDF-1. If they had found the Matrix, perhaps they could have put up a better fight against their current attackers.

That small, almost insignificant particle beam did something incredible. That beam struck the ship in such a way that it caused the Protoculture Matrix to accidentally send a massive jolt of energy through the Power Lines that connected the Matrix to the rest of the ship. Even though many of the original power lines had been cut when the ship was rebuilt, the Space Fold Generators was one of the few systems that that didn't have all of the power cables rebuilt and still worked.

The massive increase in energy flow to the Fold Generator caused the Folding of space-time to go wildly out of control. Normally, Fold space-time is a controlled and safe procedure if done correctly. However, since the humans were doing a space fold inside a planet's gravity, the process was far from safe. Space-time was violently torn apart as the ship's Fold sphere expanded far outside of the 1,210 meter long vessel and soon engulfed all of Macross island and both the CVS-101 Prometheus and her sister ship, the SLV-111 Daedalus in the fold sphere.

The Fold Sphere shifted between gold, white and every other color of the rainbow faster then the human eye could perceive, creating a confusing and strange ball of light that encompassed it's unaware passengers of just what was about to happen.

Faster and faster the sphere spun, giant ripples and discrepancies rippling across the unstable sphere's surface.

Soon, in a massive flash of light, the lone space ship, the island that had been her home for so many years and the two unfortunate air craft carriers vanished, leaving nothing left save for a expanding mist where the sphere once had been.

Never again would those people on that spaceship, the two aircraft carriers or on that island see this world or reality. Where they went next would be their home 'til the end of their days. A place filled with wonders beyond imagination and horrors beyond their worst nightmares.

A place where people traveled throughout the stars in giant circular portals called Stargates.

Time: August 10, 2004. Place: Lantea.

In the far away Pegasus Galaxy, there exists a planet called Lantea.

Lantea is nothing extremely special. She is the second planet in the solar system of eight planets, and she is one of only two planets in her solar system capable of supporting life. She has 27 hour long days, she is mostly covered in ocean with only a single continent of roughly 15 million miles. She has a massive whale like species inhabiting her oceans, a giant lobster like crustacean inhabiting her oceans as well and a fish remarkably similar to trout also call this planet home.

What is important is the single sign of civilization on this planet.

In the middle of her massive ocean is a giant floating city. Her large towers of gray reaching into the sky while sun light reflects off of her towers, creating a picturesque scene of peace.

This is the Alterran built city of Atlantis, the city that sank beneath the waves.

This city was older then all modern civilizations on Earth, being several millions of years old and still working, despite all of the abuse and damage she has suffered of the many millennia of her existence.

Currently, there is only 200 living people were in this 4 kilometer long circular snowflake shaped city. The 200 people are members of the Atlantis expedition, an international expedition sent from Earth to the Pegasus Galaxy to find Atlantis.

They were sent by an organization called the SGC, or Stargate Command. This is the organization that deals with threats to the people of Earth from other worlds. For eight years, the people of the SGC have defended Earth from a myriad of threats and have successfully saved the entire human population of Earth from enslavement or death a number of times. Recently the Atlantis Expedition set out to find Atlantis to help defend Earth, as many of the expedition were members of the SGC.

Right now, it has been four days since the Athosian People left Athosians were a group of around 250 people from a planet called Athos that the Atlantis Expedition found during their first day in this galaxy. Once there, they came under attack by a vicious alien species called the Wraith and so evacuated the Athosians to Atlantis and then rescued the few captured Athosians from the Wraith. Tempers flared afterwards when the Athosians were accused of helping the Wraith following a series of attacks against off world expeditions. The Athosians then moved to the main land of Lantea that Major John Shepherd and Lt. Aiden Ford discovered using their Puddle Jumper, a Lantean designed transport vessel. The culprit for the series of attacks was discovered to be a necklace of Teyla Emmagan, a member of John's team. They used the necklace to lead the Wraith into a ambush and then captured a Wraith commander and placed him in a shielded cell deep within Atlantis.

Since then, life has returned to normal for the super ancient city of Atlantis. The expedition members were working hard at learning everything the city had to offer, a project that will take humanity dozens, possibly hundreds of years as this city has secrets older then many nations within her halls. However, despite the overwhelming task in front of them, the scientists were determined to complete their mission, for the security and preservation of Earth.

Right now, we see Dr. McKay working hard at his laptop in the control room, pressing down on his keys with a impressive speed as he typed in new commands into the laptop.

So engrossed in his work, McKay failed to see Shepherd walk into the control room where McKay and three other technicians were hard at work.

"Sup McKay?" Shepherd asked as he took a bit out of the apple he brought in.

"Nothing much. I am searching to the Atlantis database for any references to Zed-PM's and so far I'm getting nothing. It appears that the information on how to build, recharge or even the locations of those things was a tightly kept secret. I keep on being told I need a High Council Members personal identification key to access the information." McKay said, his Canadian accent showing as he tried new avenues of getting the highly sought after information, but was denied every single time.

"Damn. We need those things and the info on how to build those things is right in front of our faces and yet we can't get at it." Shepherd said somewhat angrily, the lives of all the expedition rested on getting more ZPM's and to hear that the information was literally right in front of them and yet they couldn't access it was extremely frustrating.

"Yeah, I know. I'm thinking that if we go through the database we might be able to find out how a High Council member gets their personal code. If we find out that, we maybe able to give a member of the expedition High Councilor status." McKay said somewhat excitedly.

"It can't be that easy. There has to be a catch." Shepherd said with a suspicious tone. In his experience, if something sounds too good to be true, it most likely was.

"There probably is, but it can't hurt to check. If we want to avoid being Wraith food, we need that shield and for that, we need Zed-PM's." McKay said, referring to the ultra powerful city ship shield that Atlantis employs. Atlantis's shields were the strongest ever built, being able to take even mass ejections from the corona of a sun like it is nothing if sufficient power is supplied. And therein lies the problem. The shields was one of the most energy draining systems Atlantis has, right next to the Star Drives that moves the massive ship from planet to planet.

Shepherd nodded, knowing that without a shield the city was defenseless should the Wraith attack. Atlantis did have several drone launchers that could send out Ancient Drones, the most powerful weapons Earth have come across thus far in her travels to alien worlds and the SGC has come across a number of weapons with far more power then the even the greatest non-alien enhanced nuclear weapon. So saying that the Ancient Drones were the most powerful weapons to date was saying a lot about those drone's power.

However, the problem with the Ancient Drones on Atlantis is that Atlantis lacked the proper power supply to launch the drones. The drones are controlled via thoughts using a device called a Control Chair. The Control Chair can control drones, sending them to individual targets or changing their attack mode with a thought. The Control Chair could also control Atlantis's many systems, making it incredibly important. Unfortunately, it too was also pretty power hungry and so the expedition couldn't use their small amount of Ancient Drones anyway.

Just as Shepherd was about to say something alarms sounded all throughout the city, causing everyone to start to panic.

"Rodney, what's going on?" John asked, his military training kicking in.

"I'm looking." McKay said as he furiously typed away at his laptop, trying to figure out what was going on.

A screen to the right of McKay and John flashed on and showed a image of Lantea's outer atmosphere and also, a massive distortion labeled as, "Unknown."

"According to the sensors, there is a massive disturbance in the fabric of space-time. I have never seen something like this. Its like someone folded the fabric of space-time. It can't be someone leaving hyperspace since hyperspace is an alternate dimension within our own reality and isn't a folding of space-time." Rodney said as he continued to try and get a read on the unknown.

Weir, Ford and Teyla all came running into the control room and run right up alongside both Shepherd and Rodney.

"What's happening McKay?" Weir asked the scientist as she stopped running and caught her breath.

"We have an a folding of space-time happening right outside of Lantea's outer atmosphere. I have no idea if this is a natural phenomena or if it is a artificial construction." McKay curtly said as he continued to work with the sensors.

Just then, the unknown grew out of control and more sporadic as several large objects came from the distortion and then the folding distortion faded away like it had never been there before.

"Okay. The distortion is gone, but now we have several large contacts. First and closest to Lantea's outer atmosphere is a 1,210 meter long object which is emitting small, but detectable power levels, so it is most likely a ship. Two other objects are smaller then the first, but are still large, one being about 488 meters long and the other being 512 meters in length and they have power levels, much smaller then the first of course, but they are there. The final object is the biggest of them all, this one being easily over 17 kilometers in diameter. No transmissions or power levels are detectable from the massive object, so it is quite possible an asteroid. I am attempting to get a better scan of the unknowns." McKay reported as he fingers smacked onto the keyboard.

"Shepherd, take your team up in a jumper to get better look on what those objects are. Determine if they are a threat to this city and if we have to evacuate." Weir ordered Shepherd.

"Got it. C'mon Rodney, let's go." Shepherd said as he grabbed Rodney by the collar and started to drag him away to the teleporter booths.

Teyla and Ford followed as quickly as they could, while Weir stayed in the command center to try and get order reestablished across the city.

A few minutes later...

Right now, John and his team are in a small cylindrical ship that was a olive green/silver color with bits of rusty brown sprinkled throughout the frame.

John had his hands on the console and sent a thought to the drive pods, mentally ordering his mechanical beast to rise into the air.

The pods on the side of 8 meter long vessel popped out and started glowing a bright blue, raising the small vessel higher and higher into the air until they were out of the main tower of Atlantis and in the air.

Quickly reorienting themselves to face the unknowns, the small ship shot off like a rocket, quickly reaching escape velocity and yet, in the cabin, Teyla, Ford, McKay and Shepherd sat like they were in the back of a slow moving car, no signs of discomfort from the extreme acceleration.

Before they broke through the atmosphere, a small translucent barrier appeared around the jumper. Soon the entire ship sifted like it was going through water, then it became translucent, then transparent and then finally invisible.

Inside the jumper, John was concentrating on moving the small ship closer to the unknowns, which would be appearing soon.

Just a few seconds later, the unknowns came into view and no one could have expected that they saw.

The biggest unknown was actually a giant chunk of ice, but that wasn't the weirdest part, no the weirdest part was actually the ten kilometer in diameter island in the middle of the giant chunk of ice.

The two smaller contacts looked like aircraft carriers you might see on Earth. sure their design was much different then most other sea worthy vessels on Earth and they are also much larger then any aircraft carrier back home, but they were unmistakably air craft carriers.

The final contact is what concerned them the most. The ship was massive, easily nearly the size of a Asgard O'Neill class warship and much larger then Earth's only interstellar warship, the Prometheus.

The shear size of the ship, along with a float island in a giant block of ice and two aircraft carriers in outer space confused the heck out of the Atlantis members, but they quickly got over their confusion.

"Okay McKay, what can you tell me about that giant warship?" Shepherd asked.

"Well, according to the Jumper's sensors, the ship is composed of a number of elements and materials that the sensors cannot identify, but it is ridiculously durable, even more so then the Trinium-Naquada-Carbon mix of O'Neill class warships. Right now there is around 17,000 living people on that warship. Their main power plant is a type of reactor that is unlike anything I have seen before. The reactor appears to be operational, but power is mostly off all over ship. I think they just got out of a nasty FTL jump. The scanners are picking up energy signatures similar to a Hyperdrive, but I can't find their Hyperdrive core." McKay read off of the sensors.

"That's one impressive ship. Having a hull tougher then a O'Neill is no easy feat." John commented, only to notice everyone had gone silent, prompting John to look around and see everyone looking at him with wide open eyes.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"Nothing it's just that I am shocked you actually know what an O'Neil class warship is." McKay said, honest astonishment clear in his voice.

"Hey! I read those old SGC files." Shepherd said, his annoyance clearly audible in his voice.

"Yeah. Whatever you have to say to get yourself to sleep at night." McKay said, clearly not believing him.

"Oh, be quiet McKay and tell me if they are going to be a threat." Shepherd ordered.

"Well, I don't think they can attack us at the moment. I think it might be a good idea to try and talk to these guys, maybe form an alliance. They are obviously technologically advanced if they can use FTL travel and build ships of this size and complexity." McKay suggested.

"Not a bad idea. Let's see if we can make some new friends." Shepherd said as he activated the Jumpers communication system, and prepared to make contact with the unknown, unaware that he was about to send the lives of everyone in two galaxies down the path of destiny.

Meanwhile, one the SDF-1...

Gloval groaned a little as consciousness finally returned to the older man.

He opened his eyes and saw the bridge was mostly undamaged, only a single minor console on the right side had overloaded, but there was no danger to himself or his fellow bridge officers from such a minor inconvenience.

He then heard several other groans and within a few moments, the other members of his bridge crew awoke from their sleep.

"Ow. What happened?" Sammy asked, holding her hand up to her head to try and sooth the small pain on the right side of her forehead.

"I don't know. Claudia, give us some light in here." Gloval ordered as he got out of his command seat.

Claudia nodded and with after flicking a few switches, there was once again light on the bridge.

"Sir, I have several large objects near our current position." Vanessa reported from her console.

"Several huh? Maybe some of the fleet was able to get to the dark side of the moon after we knocked ourselves unconscious from that fold jump." Gloval suggested as he walked over to Vanessa's station.

"No, it can't be the moon, the objects are too small to the moon and also too small to be members of our space fleet. I will place them on the monitor." Vanessa said and with a few clicks, the monitor changed to show what is was the senors were seeing.

The image caused Gloval and Vanessa to gasp in shock and the other members of the bridge to wonder what it was that caused such a reaction.

When they saw the image, they too gasped in shock.

Only a few miles from their current position was the frozen surface of Macross Island.

"How is that possible? We are in outer space?" Kim asked, still in disbelief from what she was seeing.

"When we fold jumped, we must have accidentally taken Macross Island with us. Lisa, I want all of our pilots getting the civilians out of those shelters and onto the SDF-1. Those shelters cannot hold them forever and they are running out of air." Gloval ordered, knowing how bad the situation was.

Lisa nodded and then began relay orders for all pilots to get to their shuttles at get over to Macross Islands shelters and get the civilians out of harms way.

"Claudia, slowly take us closer to Macross Island at one-twentieth maximum thrust. We don't want to cause anymore damage then we already have. Kim, Sammy, try and get in contact with command. We are going to need a lot more personal to get the civilians back planet-side. Vanessa, try and locate any hostile enemy forces, we don't need to be caught in a trap while doing rescue work." Gloval ordered with calm and pose, as expected of the Captain of the most powerful Earth warship.

His crew, although young and untested, sprang into action without any complaints, ready to complete their tasks to he best of their ability.

However, after several minutes, Sammy and Kim both reported bad news.

"Captain, I am not getting any response from any of our surviving warships." Sammy said, a small amount of concern in her voice.

"I can't get a hold of Alaska command or any of our bases either sir." Kim added on.

"Hm, perhaps our communication equipment is damaged. Vanessa, please try and determine the cause." Gloval ordered the bespectacled woman.

Vanessa nodded and quickly got to work, but soon gave concerning news.

"Sir, it's not the communication equipment. The comm tower is operating perfectly, no abnormalities in the system. Also, we aren't being jammed. We are transmitting, just for some reason, no one is responding." Vanessa reported, a small amount of confusion on why they weren't getting any response.

"Hey, you don't think the aliens wiped out our space forces and command centers in the small amount of time we were unconscious do you?" Sammy asked, a small amount of fear she might be right wrapped around her mind.

Gloval turned to Vanessa and she got the message, already typing on her controls to try an get answers.

When those answers did come in, they were devastating.

"Sir, I found out why we aren't getting an answer from our forces." Vanessa said, fear and pain heard in her voice.

"What is is Vanessa?" Gloval asked, afraid of the answer.

"We aren't in our own solar system." Vanessa said, stunning the crew.

"What do you mean?" Lisa asked.

"I mean our fold jump shot us way far off of our intended target. The solar system we are in has only two planets in it, not eight like our own. Plus, the plant we are closest to only has a single continent on it. We are no where near Earth." Vanessa said, delivering the devastating news.

This caused the entire bridge to start panicking. They were lost in outer space with no idea where they where or how to get home.

"Everyone calm down. Once the civilians are on board the SDF-1 we can simply use the hyperspace fold system to get us back home. We just need to triangulate our position relative to Earth. Vanessa, try and find out where we are." Gloval ordered.

Vanessa nodded and started getting the computer to triangulate their position, however this brought even more problems.

"Captain, I cant get our position. For some reason a number of the stars are not where they are supposed to be, along with the fact that a number of new celestial bodies have appeared. I cannot accurately triangulate our position." Vanessa reported, causing a even greater sense of panic.

"Alright calm down. This may look bad, but we can still get home. It will just take a little bit longer." Gloval said, right as the phone on his command chair rang.

Gloval walked over, picked it up and said, "Yes, this is Captain Gloval?"

After a few seconds the Captain's face warped into one full of shock and panic as he shouted out, "What? Are you sure Emil?"

After that, the captain grew somber and said, "I understand. Thank you Emil." and then placed the phone back down.

Lisa then asked, "Sir, what's going on?"

Gloval was quiet for a few seconds before he then said, "The fold engines are gone."

"What?" The entire bridge crew shouted out.

"Dr. Emil has reported that the Fold engines have gone missing. As of right now, we have no FTL methods. Even if we found the way back home, we would never make it back to Earth." Gloval said in a quiet voice as he grabbed his tobacco pipe.

The entire bridge crew was shocked, they had no way of going back to Earth? What would they do?

Just then, Sammy got a strange alert on her console.

Checking it out she then said, "Captain, I am getting a strange transmission from somewhere. I can't pinpoint where, but is definitely not one of our own."

Gloval took a long breathe of his pipe and then said, "Well, let's hear it Sammy."

Sammy nodded and then clicked a few switches and within moments, a human sounding voice said, "I repeat, this is Major John Shepherd of the Atlantis Expedition contacting unknown vessel, please respond. We just want to talk. I repeat, this is Major John Shepherd of the Atlantis Expedition contacting unknown vessel, please respond."

Gloval then quickly said, "Sammy, get me a line to whoever is contacting us."

Sammy nodded and quickly got Gloval in contact with this John Shepherd.

Gloval took us his phone and said, "This is Captain Henry Gloval of the Robotech Defense Force contacting Major John Shepherd of the Atlantis Expedition. We read you loud and clear."

"Hello. I can't help, but notice you got shuttles heading to that small island entrapped in the ice." John said.

Gloval grew tense and said, "Yes, what of it?"

"You need a hand help? We have several shuttles that can hold twenty people standing by." John offered.

Gloval thought hard about this. It could be a alien trap, but right now the lives of however many people who where on Macross depended on him and right now he needed help. Besides, this man obviously had help and could also perhaps help them get back home if he was all the way out here. It was a risk, but it was one he had to take.

"Major, I would like to accept that help. If you and however many pilots you have could bring the civilians from the shelters onto the SDF-1 as quickly as you could, I would be indebted to you." Gloval said.

"You got it. Just give me a moment, I need to make a call." Shepherd said as he disconnected the line and then contacted Atlantis.

"Hey Weir, can you send up everyone who can fly a jumper? We need to do some rescue operations up here." Shepherd said.

"What?" Weir asked, confused.

"Basically there is a island frozen up here and on that island are a bunch of civilians, so I negotiated to offer our help getting them off. We need all the jumpers up here helping getting the civilians onto the SDF-1 as the giant warship is called. If we do this, we'll be in their good graces and being in the good graces of someone who has a kilometer long warship above you head is a good idea." Shepherd explained.

"Well, I can't argue with that logic. I will have everyone who can fly a jumper doing so. Let's just hope this doesn't go wrong." Weir said.

"Yeah, you and me both. I will call you when we are done. Shepherd out." Shepherd said as he disconnected the line with Weir and then reconnected it with Gloval.

"Well Captain Gloval, I have just talked to my commanding officer and she has ordered us to offer our aid. Just tell us where to go." John said.

"Very well. You shall answer to my First Officer, Commander Lisa Hayes. She shall direct you and your fellow pilots in the rescue operations." Gloval said, happy that there was some good news after all the bad news they had received today.

"Understood. Major John Shepherd out." Shepherd said as he deactivated the cloak and began to fly towards the giant block of ice.

After a few minutes, the jumpers sensors saw a number of other shuttles heading towards the ice block and moved into formation with them while the other jumpers from Atlantis were quickly approaching the frozen form of Macross island.

With Lisa directing operations, the jumpers moved to a number of the shelters and connect themselves to the shelters, allowing for passage between the shelters and the jumpers.

Once the jumpers where secured, the occupants opened their doors and then the shelters doors.

Shepherd stepped out of his jumper, along with McKay, Teyla and Ford and entered into the shelter, seeing a number of injured and scared people.

"My name is Major John Shepherd. Me, and the other members of the Atlantis Expedition are here to help you evacuate. If you could form several orderly lines of twenty people per shuttle, we'll have you all on-board the SDF-1 in no time." John said in his most calming voice possible.

The civilians were reluctant, but seeing as these strange people were working with the RDF, they decided to take a leap of faith and started filing aboard the jumpers.

On Shepherd's jumper, the mayor and his wife were aboard and the mayor, Tommy Luan had so many questions.

"Excuse me sir, may I ask what this vessel is and where you got it from? It is much more advance then anything the RDF currently has in production." He asked.

"Sorry sir, but that information is classified." Shepherd said as he started up the engines now that their jumper was completely full of civilians.

The mayor was unhappy, but decided to keep his annoyance at not being able to learn more about the jumper to himself. After all, these people just saved himself and his wife and soon all of his towns people would be safely aboard the SDF-1.

The jumper rose up and flew off towards the SDF-1, surrounded by other shuttles and jumpers as they ferried the civilians aboard the massive vessel.

As the jumper came into the main hanger of the SDF-1, the Atlantis Expedition members were shocked by what they saw.

Hundreds of massive humanoids robots were everywhere, some where deactivated and just standing still, but others still where helping to move supplies and keep order as the myriad of civilians were brought aboard the SDF-1.

"Incredible. Humanoid metal exoskeletons. They must have a pretty powerful battery to be able to move." McKay said as he stared at the suits in awe.

"Those are what we call Destroids." The mayor explained as the jumper settler down on it's belly.

"That's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind taking one of those for a ride." Shepherd said as he looked at the mechanical beasts in slight envy.

"Well Major. It is with great gratitude that I say, thank you for saving myself and the others of Macross Island." Tommy said as he gave his hand for Shepherd to shake.

"No need for thanks. Just doing our job. And we aren't done yet. We still got more to save." Shepherd said as he shook the mans hand.

"Understood. Good luck Major." Tommy said as he left the jumper and joined the other civilians in the main hanger.

John then went back to the console and piloted the jumper out of the SDF-1 and went back to the shelters on Macross island.

Date: August 19, 2004. Location: Lantea.

Gloval sighed tiredly as he took a deep gulp of his coffee as he stared at the report.

John Shepherd had come through, with over twenty small shuttle like craft appearing from the planet and helping them evacuate the civilians onto the SDF-1. Without their help, it would have taken a lot longer to not only get the civilians onto the SDF-1, but all the supplies from Macross that were still recoverable.

Right now, both the Daedalus and Prometheus had just finished being attached to the SDF-1 and within a few minutes Dr. Elizabeth Weir, the leader of the Atlantis Expedition would arrive and the two would begin negotiations talks.

He still couldn't believe what he heard when they showed him where they can from.

These humans where from Earth, but not the Earth they knew.

The SDF-1 was currently in another reality.

There were a number of inconsistencies between their home and where they found themselves that proved this crazy theory.

For one, the quantum frequency of the SDF-1 and the Puddle Jumpers were completely different. According to Dr. lang, there was no known way to change the quantum frequency of anything, so since the jumpers had a different frequency, they could only be in another reality. Also, since Dr. Rodney showed them that the year was only 2004 and not 2009 like when the left Macross Island, it only further proved their point.

In addition to that bombshell, they were in an entirely different galaxy from Earth called the Pegasus Galaxy and they too also had no way to get back to their Earth.

Gloval had taken out his secret bottle of Vodka he kept hidden in his desk after all the things that had happened. He had taken control of the SDF-1 to keep humanity safe. He just never though he would end up in an alternate reality with 70,000 civilians to keep safe and not only that, end up a whole galaxy away from Earth with no way back.

This reality was insane, small circular rings that allowed near instantaneous travel between planet and planet through the use of wormholes, alien races that didn't want to wipe them out and sometimes helped humanity, small parasitic snakes that can take control of you and use your body like a puppet, alien warriors that could drain you of your life force, and also the existence of a several million year old ship shaped like a city called Atlantis. At-freaking-lantis! It was not only real, but also apparently down on the planet they had just so happen to appear over. He had nearly drunken the entire bottle from the shear insanity of this reality.

Gloval had already talked to Dr. Rodney McKay and although the man had a massive ego and god-complex, he was a brilliant scientist. Dr. McKay had said that the SDF-1 with her new two cruiser attachments could land on Lantea, the planet below. He and Dr. lang had built several shield emitters on the Daedalus and Prometheus in the short nine days since the SDF-1 had arrived here.

The shield emitters were very weak, barely able to take any energy weapon fire, but would protect the SDF-1 and more importantly, the two aircraft carrier from the dangers of reentry.

Dr. McKay and Lang had initially hadn't gotten along very well, mostly due to Rodney and his arrogance, but eventually the two had started to work together and that is why the shield emitters had been built so quickly.

Rodney had said that it wasn't a hard thing to do. All he had to do was get the crystals, install them in certain areas on the ships and then create a command program in the ships mainframe and that was it.

However, due to their rushed nature, the crystals would most likely fry and be useless after this, so leaving the planet atmosphere until the emitters where repaired was impossible.

Gloval sighed heavily, the past few days were really starting to get to him.

A small knock on the door altered him that his guest had most likely arrived and so he sighed, got up and said, "Come in."

The door opened and Lisa Hayes walked into the room, along with a man with scruffy raven black hair, and a woman with short dark brown hair.

Gloval walked over to his guests and stuck out his hand as he said, "Hello. I am Captain Henry Gloval of the SDF-1."

The woman shook his hand and said, "Pleasure. I am Dr. Elizabeth Weir of the Atlantis Expedition. You have already met Major John Shepherd."

Gloval nodded and then shook Shepherd's hand and said, "Indeed I have. Thanks to you, we managed to get the civilians on board quicker."

Shepherd just gave a small smile and said, "It was nothing."

Gloval then walked back to his chair and sat down as all of his guests did the same.

"So, I think I can begin these negotiations with this. I need to offload the civilians. We have no FTL and no way to get back home, so we need a place to stay. Lantea is the only option for us. So, I offer this: in exchange for allowing to offload the civilians onto the mainland and allowing them to rebuild their lives, myself and the members of the SDF-1 shall help the Atlantis Expedition through the exchange of our technology and production facilities. The RDF shall help defend the Atlantis Expedition from any and all harm. Does that seem agreeable?" Gloval proposed.

Weir thought it over. Having a powerful warship like the SDF-1 on their side would be a much need addition to the Atlantis Expedition as they currently had no means to defend themselves. Also, having all those mecha and the troop compliment of the SDF-1 in addition would make the city all the more safer.

The continent was massive, the Athosians would probably not even notice the 70,000 new civilians on the continent. The two people might even be able to learn things from one another and help one another.

After giving it thought a little longer Weir finally nodded and said, "It is a good deal and we would be fools to dismiss it. Just be aware that there is a group of people on the mainland already, so you have to take care."

Gloval nodded and then said, "Thank you for the warning. After the SDF-1 unloads the civilians, where shall we take her?"

Weir smiled and said, "Take her to Atlantis. It is near enough you can launch aid to the civilians, but due to the secret nature of this planet, hopefully there won't be a need to."

Gloval nodded and then asked, "How soon can we land on the planet Lisa?"

Lisa took up a report and said, "The engineers have triple confirmed that the Prometheus and Daedalus have been attached to the SDF-1 and thanks to their new shield emitters, we can now land on Lantea. Dr. lang says we can begin landing procedures right now if we need to."

Gloval nodded and stood up and said, "Lisa, give the order to begin landing procedures. Aim the SDF-1 for the eastern portion of the continent, that is far enough away from the Athosians to not bother them, but close enough the two people should mingle."

Lisa nodded and then left the room to start giving her given orders.

Gloval then turned to Weir and Shepherd and said, "Let's go to the bridge. I want to be there if anything goes wrong."

The two nodded and then followed the Russian Captain as he led them up to the bridge.

"Captain on deck." Sammy said as Gloval walked onto the bridge, but not before he smacked his head on the infernal door way.

After giving a string of Russian curses, Gloval sat down in his chair while Shepherd and Weir stood near Claudia and Lisa to get a good view of the SDF-1.

"All hands, prepare for atmospheric reentry. I repeat, all hands prepare for atmospheric reentry." Lisa said through the P.A.

All throughout the ship, the might battle fortress's crew ran to their assigned stations, each crew member working like mad men to get the massive ship ready to get through re-entry.

After a few minutes and all departments sending the green light, Gloval then said, "Begin atmospheric reentry."

Lisa and Claudia nodded and then brought up a new program given to them by McKay.

Sending power through her old power lines, the energy went into newly designed and created emitters. These emitters powered up flawlessly for the first time, creating a massive reddish-orange sphere around the mighty warship that would protect her from re-entry.

Slowly, the massive warship slowly entered into the atmosphere of Lantea, the front part of the shield starting to catch fire as the friction built up, but the shield, quickly built as it was, held firm.

Minute after minute passed as the large blue and white warship passed through the atmosphere of Lantea, a sea of fire spreading around the shield.

Finally, the warship passed through the atmosphere and the shield emitters finally failed, having been placed under too much strain, but their task had been fulfilled and the SDF-1 with her two aircraft carriers was safe from all harm.

The massive ship slowly made it's way to the eastern seaboard of the continent, her massive engines glowing bright baby blue as the ship made her journey to the coast.

Once the ship was finally there, the SDF-1 slowly landed into the shallows.

Once she had finished landing, Gloval then said, "Lisa, begin issuing order to have construction teams land on the main land and begin the construction of housing units for the civilians."

Lisa nodded and soon was giving orders for the many construction teams on the SDF-1 to land on the main land and start constructing the beginnings for the new Macross city.

Time: September 3, 2004. Location: Lantea.

After two weeks of intense construction, Neo-Macross city had been built and all 70,000 civilians were now living in their newly rebuilt homes and were safely off of the SDF-1.

Gloval had assigned twenty 4-man Destroid teams to make sure Neo-Macross city was safe while the SDF-1 was at Atlantis.

During the two weeks since the SDF-1 had landed on Lantea, a number of scientists from Atlantis had come on board and started to study the giant warship.

Now that all the civilians were off the SDF-1 and safely on the newly built Neo-Macross City, preparations were made for the SDF-1 to go to Atlantis, where she would dock and the real work of unlocking all of her secrets would begin.

Gloval was on the bridge currently, Lisa by his side.

"Sir, all departments have said they are ready to go. The ship has checked out. We are ready to go." Lisa said from her station.

"Understood. Claudia, Lisa begin take off and head for Atlantis. Sammy, Kim, go and call Atlantis, let them know we are coming. Vanessa, let me know the second something goes wrong." Gloval ordered.

The bridge crew nodded and then got to work, their fingers moving over their stations as commands were sent into their consoles, bringing forth power from the reactors and sent it towards their rocket boosters.

Slowly, the SDF-1 rose out of the water and into the air, her massive bulk glistening from the water.

The SDF-1 then turned around 180 degrees and then surged forwards as her massive engines roared with power.

The SDF-1 flew forth, crossing the massive ocean that covered the majority of this planet as she made her way towards Atlantis.

After an hour of flying, a small dot appeared on the horizon.

The dot grew bigger and bigger as the ship approached until the crew could clearly see what it was and what they saw shocked them.

There, floating on the ocean like a toy was a snowflake shaped city, her awe inspiring towers glistening as they reached for the heavens.

The crew of the SDF-1 stared at the city in awe, it was the most incredible thing any of them had ever seen.

Then, Kim said, "Sir, we have a transmission from Atlantis."

Gloval then said, "Put it through Kim."

Kim nodded and after a few seconds, the entire bridge heard Weir say, "Welcome SDF-1, to Atlantis. Please proceed and dock with the nearest pier to you. I will see you there."

The SDF-1 slowly approached the city, turning her massive bulk so that the Daedalus was the part of her hull that touched Atlantis.

With slow precision, the SDF-1 landed into the water and then moved the Daedalus into a docking position, the clamps of Atlantis latching onto the Daedalus.

A small connecting platform came out of the pier and connected to the top of the Daedalus, allowing for easy travel between Atlantis and the SDF-1.

Gloval and his bridge crew went down to the Daedalus and then went onto the connecting tube and finally, stepped foot into Atlantis.

Weir was there with a bright smile and said, "She is awe inspiring, isn't she?"

Gloval nodded and said, "She is the most impressive construct I have seen since the SDF-1."

Weir nodded and then said, "Ready to begin the tour?"

The RDF members nodded, excited to see what secrets this city held.

With the alliance of the RDF and the Atlantis Expedition finally formed, destiny is now set in stone. What wonders and horrors shall come of these actions, no one knows, and only one thing is certain:

It is going to be an incredible journey.

And that is it!
