Of Death, Scythes, & Hells

[SotF]

Note: While each is an unrelated ficlet, the previous ones can be found HERE on FF.net. This one is with Gundam Wing

xXx

Once upon a time I wouldn't have ever had to think as I now do.

You see when I was forced back I ended up in the wrong place as a mere child.

That life started similarly to the one I've lived both before and after.

An orphan on the run, no desire to end up in an orphanage, and now that I've returned to Earth I'm remembering that life as well.

My name is Daniel Jackson, and for the most part I am Doctor Daniel Jackson the expert in languages and archaeology, but that isn't all I am.

I remember a guerilla war involving war machines made of a nigh invincible material called Gundanium.

I remember my friends and comrades as we fought to bring peace to the Earth and it's colonies.

I remember being less of the token civilian for the team in a way.

I remember the stars and countless wars.

I remember the name I had taken for my own.

I was Duo Maxwell, and perhaps it's time that the enemies of Earth are introduced to my alter ego.

It is time to unleash my darker half, and let the Shinigami loose on those who would destroy those I try to protect.

And let the Ascended see just what they have unleashed upon the universe, for while Daniel Jackson was an idealist, Duo Maxwell was the destroyer taken mortal form.

Damn. The Goa'uld are fucked, aren't they?

But, this is a good setup ( I think ).

But, this is a good setup ( I think ).

Pretty much, an unholy hybrid of Duo Maxwell and Daniel Jackson is probably enough to even send Anubis or the Ori fleeing right quick.

You got any plans to expand that into something oh, say, 100,000 words? Because I would LOVE to read that one!

I'm considering an expanded version. Daniel wreaking havoc across the Stargate-verse

 

[Shaderic]

This Kind of reminds me of a fic by Vathara. What was it... Ahhhh, I don't remember. Vathara has as much win oozing from his pores as Fosfor, so I'd recomend looking him up anyway. :snigger:

I'd read that one a long while back and may read it again. The point of my 5 minute fics is an attempt to quickly right something that makes sense. I pick at least one crossover and spend five minutes writing it and then I stop other than finishing a sentance and a bit of cleanup afterwards.

 

[TheBetanWerecat]

I would guess Shaderic is refering to "Upon a Fiery Steed". Wonderful story! It's almost a crime that the follow-up, the battle for the polka-dot snake, was never written.

Anyhow, your premise with this 'write five minutes and stop' piece is sound enough to more than support a real lengthy story. While I admire, and I do, the dicipline it takes to write like that, I can only point out that the pleasure of reading it is too short.

 

[Cornuthaum]

EYAAAGH!

I think I died reading that... I mean, a polka-dotted rubber you-know-what? *snicker*

But Duo!Daniel is a bit overpowered. Duo is as much of a one-man army as O'Neill is, if not more, which, paired with Daniels ridiculous deductive ability and staggering knowledge spell Doom, DOOOOOOM upon anyone stupid enough to cross him. Which is kinda boring, unless all Duoniel has is a damaged tel'tak and he is facing a replicator fleet. In which case the story would end.

 

[TheBetanWerecat]

Actually, it could be very good, depending on what situations which side of the personality dominated. Danny is not the walking war machine Duo can be and Duo seems to have some significant limits on his educational opportunities. Having the less able side dominate in any given situation would reduce the 'overpowering' aspects a good deal. Besides, Duo is human and, when he gets the chance, humane. So is Dr. Jackson. No, I think it could be very, very good.

(Personal favorite from "Steed": "Maxwell, put the knife down!" "It twitched!" "Its Jello. Its supposed to twitch." "It is?" Unholy gleam in eye.)

 

[SotF]

Imagine if the Duo part is dominant during a diplomatic meeting or the like...

 

[Cornuthaum]

"Hello there [technologically advanced race of choice]. Do you recognize this? Yes, this. Naquadah-enhanced Boomex. ....What, Jack? Don't look at me like that. I know what I'm doing. .... So, where was I... ah, yes. Boomex. See, we have [insert problem of the current episode], and we need your help. Don't sweat, I only have the stuff wired to a dead man's trigger, two timers and my handheld remote detonator. Don't worry. Just be a pal and help us quickly, as in ... lemme look at the boomex countdown.... four minutes and thirty-nine seconds. Yes, we have a list of the things we need. No, don't worry. Seriously. I know what I'm doing."

And I think the Goa'uld-in-a-can idea trumps the knife-murder of Jello. 'Cause the snakes could put the unholy fear of Duoniel into anyone who doesn't check his locker/food/pretty much any surface for wind-up springing rubber Goa'uld.

 

[SotF]

I also think Daniel trying to explain how/why he decided to make a collapsable energy scythe in his basement as well as a multitude of explosives after smuggling said devices along on a mission would be most amusing amusing.

Hell, the ancients uncovering their personal screwup could also be funny as they unleashed Duo upon their own universe, especially if Duo!Daniel didn't really want to go back.

 

[TheBetanWerecat]

Hey! I LIKE Jello! And I like the whole setup of what was going on around the Jello. It was just a great small bit. Snake-in-can though was an outstanding running gag for the whole story.

---------------------

Back to the topic at hand though; I like the thought of Daniel and the energy scythe too. That would bug O'Neill and confuse Teal'c! Might need Sam's help to make it work though.

Would you see any of the rest of the Wing team in this or is it strictly Duo as it plays out for you? I can see pros and cons for either answer. However, it is your story and I'm not going to make too many suggestions because I really don't want to be told 'go away until I'm done'.

 

[SotF]

Note: And a second 5 minutes on the same topic.

xXx

Pain, that was all the registered as he met the twisted copies eyes along the spike the replicator version of Carter had driven into his head.

For a mere instant he felt the knowledge and power of his ascended form rushing through his being. It hurt as the replictor screamed and began to dissolve.

Then something else brushed his psyche, a memory as if from a fevered dream.

"I am become death," he whispered as his eyes flickered to between its usual tone and a shade of cobalt blue, almost as if he were a religious man reciting a prayer from memory, "The destroyer of worlds."

The entity knew he had to act fast as the memories returned in a flood.

The wars to give peace to the earth, blood and death among the stars.

One thing machine that was more a part of him than anything he remembered.

And then he reacted, the ascended powers bursting from him, guided for a mere moment to bring one thing into being.

xXx

Teal'c watched as the lead replicator ship aproaching Dakara seemed to explode from internal explosions in all directions.

xXx

"What the hell was that?" Carter asked as she watched from the ground only to get a response over the radio.

"Exactly, Hell is right," came the calm voice that seemed to belong to Daniel Jackson and yet different in cadence and tone, "The god of death is..."

A momentary pause that seemed to have the voice project a smile.

Then it cheered, "Back from Hell!"

"Daniel?" she asked almost uncomfortable with the question.

"Yeah Sam," came the response, "What's up, don't have long, I want them to know the God of Death is back and back with a bang!"

xXx

Two of the replicator infested Hataks detonated a second later as Teal'c watched, then the real fun began.

A pair of acidic green beams of energy seemed to burst into existance and form themselves into curved blades in parallel with the shape of a scythe. Space seemed to ripple a pair of jet black wings that seemed almost to actually be four spread wide to reveal some sort of giant armor looking like the ancient warriors from one of Daniel Jacksons books.

And then the carnage began.

 

[TheBetanWerecat]

Oh. Oh my! Oh way cool! You're bringing DEATHSCYTHE back too!!!!!????!!!!!!!

YES! I WANNA READ THIS STORY!!

 

[SotF]

Oh.? Oh my!? Oh way cool!? You're bringing DEATHSCYTHE back too!!!!!????!!!!!!!

YES!? I WANNA READ THIS STORY!!

Of course, Duo on his own can tear through a hatak or a lot of ground forces, but with his Deathscythe (Partially in this case ) he's death incarnate.

Both parts are up on FF.net now

Note: And yet another of these.

The braided figure sat there at the controls with an almost manic gleam in his eyes.

He'd managed to pull a vanishing act of his own after recovering his other half and didn't want to risk the others with what he knew.

But now Daniel was ready, piecing his memories and life back together had taken some time. The Goa'uld, Replicators, and pretty much all of the enemies he'd faced with SG-1 were defeated.

Something far worse had stepped into the void, a group of deranged ascended called the Ori who seemed to share the delusions that the Goa'uld had. They believed themselves to be gods, and the Shinigami could not allow that to stand.

And so the god of death had spent the last few months playing the great destroyer on any of the staffed fools he'd encountered.

The cargo ship was set towards the coordinates of the supergate, something he had learned after pickpocketing a thief who tried to steal his ship in the first place, he couldn't even remember her full name Mal D..something anyway.

Finishing the programming of what was coming, Daniel Jackson retreated to the hold and the machine that had become the emissary of death that seemed to be feared by those who fought him.

Deathscythe Hell, the only Gundam in the universe.

The fourth horseman had come, and he did ride a pale horse.

xXx

Cameron Mitchell watched as the fight turned against them, ships burning as the ships with eerie resemblances to the "helper" toilet seats for the disabled destroyed the gathered fleet of allies one by one.

A flash as an unknown cargo ship rocketed out of hyperspace and someone mentioned something about an odd transmission and Emerson ordered it played.

"Who the hell is broadcasting the Funeral March?"

The ship met head on with a blast from one of the Ori ships, destroying it in a shower of debris, but he could see something moving on, something that he vaguely remembered.

A flash as the image was magnified and a parallel pair of emerald scythe blades made of energy lit the humanoid shape an instant before the blade sliced clean through the ship that destroyed the cargo vessel.

"Daniel?" he heard Carter comment as all of the ships involved on both sides seemed to pause for a startled minute.

"Heard you were throwing a party," they heard the missing archaeologist state after an almost positively demented cackle, "And figured that this type of party needs a personal visit from the god of death himself."

 

[TheBetanWerecat]

Oh for Shinigami's sake!!!!!!!!!!! WRITE THE WHOLE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way cool section by the way.

 

[SotF]

Came up with an idea after looking back over my Dance Steps idea.

xXx

Flashing lights surrounded him as he was ripped from the end of the universe.

Actions failed, but there was no winner.

The angels were dead, mankind was dead.

He alone survived, thanks to his memories.

Thanks to ZERO.

A mad laugh he could recognize anywhere yet had never heard in this lifetime and he reacted.

"Duo," he stated calmly as the real seemed to return in a flash.

A space battle, gathered forces seemed to be engaging white craft that looked almost like toilet seats.

""You're late Heero," came the singsong voice of his ally, "We started without you."

"Duo," he stated again.

And Wing ZERO spread its wings.

 

[DhampyrX2]

You made Shinji in Heero? Hmm, I would have thought Jack.

Jack just doesn't seem to be capable of a Heero state, Teal'c maybe, but not Jack.
