"Who was that?" Joxer asked his friends, "and what happened to Faith?"

Daniel stared at Jack with a questionable look in his eyes.

Jack looked at these people in front of him. A small debate began in his mind. Looking at the woman, seeing the flashing eyes, and hearing the deep voice only proved to be what he thought. The woman was goa'uld. But the question was does he tell these people? Does he tell them that this world isn't the only planet with life in it?

Normally, mum was the word when it came to public relations. The world wasn't ready for the truth.

But.

These past few days he and his friends had learned the truth about another problem the Earth was facing…the issue with vampires, demons, and deadites. A few of these he saw himself. Maybe they could create an alliance? Who knows when SG-1 would meet up with vampires again? Buffy Summers was a vampire slayer, a girl who fought these demons for a living. She also fought other demons. And, if SG-1 looked to other worlds for assistance and alliances all the time, why couldn't he do the same with these people?

"Well, Tim, that would be…"

(Goa'uld) Gabrielle thought to herself. Her eyes immediately narrowed. She hated the goa'uld. They were the aliens that captured her thousands of years ago—took her away from Xena, from Joxer, from her family.

Sam's eyes widened, "Sir?"

Sam's question brought Gabrielle back to the current conversation at hand. She couldn't tell them that she knew about the goa'uld. If the blond told them the truth, Jack would've done something drastic, and she couldn't afford to lose anything right now…especially since she got body back, reconnected with Hercules, and started to fall for Joxer. She couldn't lose any of it.

So, Gabrielle would have to play everything, as she was a novice. She could be normal in front of Hercules, Joxer, and now Xander. That was it.

He looked at her, "It's okay, Carter."

She asked, "You sure, Colonel?"

He nodded, "I am. Tim, what you just saw was an alien."

Buffy asked skeptically, "Alien?"

Xander nodded, "And I'm guessing not your basic ET, huh?"

Sam couldn't help but smile slightly, "That would be a goa'uld."

"I fuckin' don't care what type of alien that was, I want my niece back!" Ash yelled bringing everyone back to the important matter at hand.

Xander continued for his friend, "Tell me there's a way to bring her back!"

"That's going to be quite difficult." Daniel stated.

"Just how difficult?" Joxer asked.

Jack said, "We don't even know where Faith went."

"Let me guess…Area 51 is where your team is based." Xander said.

"Nope," Daniel said. "Area 51 would be something else."

"All I'm going to tell you right now is on a need to know basis. That's it." Jack said to their friends. He looked at his eldest friend, "You got that, Daniel?"

The archeologist nodded, "Right. Based on that, what do we do, Jack?"

"I think my team and I should talk before anything else gets said." The colonel said to them.

"I understand, Colonel O'Neill." Hercules stated.

With that said, SG-1 went to the other side of them to the nearest tree and huddled together.

"Are you sure about telling them, Sir? The SGC is top secret, y'know that."

He nodded, "I do, Carter. But, think about what we just experienced these past few days. We found out that vampires actually exist. I mean, actually immortal, blood-sucking creatures! And that's not all, Captain.

"Now, Buffy was willing to help us in our situation. The same with her friends. If we create an alliance with them, they'll be able to help us on other matters."

Teal'c said, "Telling them would make a good strategic move, Captain Carter."

"I'd have to agree, Sam. Finding out that the Necronomicon actually exists is mind blowing enough."

"I understand. I do agree that we tell them only on a need to know basis. General Hammond isn't going to be excited that we told them about the goa'uld though."

"We're obviously going to need their help with this goa'uld, Jack. And I don't think that General Hammond is going to let a little over a dozen people into the SGC. Especially civilians on that matter."

"If we tell General Hammond that we need their expertise on the Necronomicon, he should be willing to allow some of them inside."

"Not a bad idea, Teal'c," Jack said to his friend. "Remember, we only tell them on a need to know bases. I should radio, Hammond, and let him know what's happening. Hopefully, he'll be okay with this."

---

The Scrappies, Gunn, and his crew watched as SG-1 walked over to the far tree.

"What do you think there talking about, Xander?"

He looked at Joxer, "Well, it seems that they might be making sure that giving us the okay on this alien business. They were about to give us some classified information, Tim."

Buffy stated, "We did help them with their vampire situation. Well, we tried to anyway. But they do know about vampires. I think Xander might be right."

"I don't care about any of this, Buffy. All I want is to have my niece back."

Hercules commented, "And we will get her back. We're going to need their help, Ash. What we're dealing with is something that we never dealt with before."

"Aye," Doyle said as he looked at the group next to them. "I guess that's why it's taking this long."

---

Jack talked into his cell phone, "General Hammond, I think we should talk."

"What about, son? Did you stop Caroline?"

O'Neill said, "About that, Sir. Caroline was already taken care of when we got here."

"Then may I ask why aren't you at the SGC?"

"We ran into some trouble. It seems that we stumbled on a war that dealt with deadites. Apparently Sir, deadites are a lot like zombies. We found some locals
with knowledge of the matter."

"Zombies? Are you aware that you're speaking nonsense, Colonel?"

He shook his head, "Sir, I am not speaking nonsense. As it turns out there's more to Earth then the goa'uld?"

"What are you suggesting?"

"Daniel had an old friend that lived in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he died a few years back. But he left Daniel his journal. In the journal, we found that Daniel's friend was a watcher from England. Watchers are people who train vampire slayers. Vampire slayers are"

"Cut to the chase, Jack."

"Alright, Sir. Bottom line is vampires are real. And that's what Caroline was. She wasn't a goa'uld or alien. She was a vampire."

"A vampire, Son? What are you trying to tell me?"

"Simply this. A goa'uld just teleported down to Earth, took an ancient book, and kidnapped a girl…a vampire slayer."

"…"

"You think I've lost it completely, don't you?"

"Son, the only reason I haven't Section Eighted you yet is because I don't know where you are."

"So…you don't believe me, Sir?"

"I'm prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt, Jack. Only you could run into something this ridicules. Pick some people who can convince me, Colonel. Bring them in. Once I'm sure you haven't gone insane, I'll authorize a go."

"Thank you, Sir. I'm thinking five people might be good to bring."

"Bring only four, Jack. Then we'll talk. But, these people better be good at what they do."

"Understood, General."

With that said, Jack turned off his phone and went back to the team who were already with the rest of the group.

"I just talked to General Hammond. I can only bring four of you."

Before anyone else could say something, SG-1, Xander, Buffy, Ash, and Kevin disappeared.

"What the hell just happened?" Gunn asked.

---

The eight of them appeared on the Asgard ship,
Biliskner.

"Where are we?" Ash asked as he surveyed the room they were in.

"Greetings, Colonel O'Neill, Captain Carter, Doctor Jackson, and Teal'c." He glanced at the four new people, "And welcome Mr. Sorbo, Mr. Harris, Ms.
Summers, and Mr. Williams."

Xander took a few steps back, "That is definitely not ET!"

Buffy got into her fighting stance as Ash revved up his chainsaw. "We want to go home, right now!"

"I assure you Ms. Summers and Mr. Williams, I will not harm you. I teleported you here because I needed to tell you about Ninnedinna."

"Ninnedinna?" Jack asked surprised.

Daniel said, "Ninnedinna was a Babylonian Goddess. She was the one who created the books of the dead."

Ash questioned, "You mean to tell me, that this goa'uld created the Necronomicon?"

Thor nodded, "You are correct, Mr. Williams. Before we get any further, my name is Thor. And you are on my ship, the Biliskner."

"You're Thor?" Xander asked. He glanced Hercules, "This is Thor? Thor's an alien?"

Hercules nodded, "If he says he's Thor. Then he's Thor. (Allot has happened since the show ended. Things have changed.)

"I brought you here because you're the ones that have to go to Ninnedinna and rescue your friend and take back the book. The Asgard cannot because of Protected Planets Treaty. You all bring something that would be useful against Ninnedinna."

"We do?" Xander asked surprised.

"Indeed," Thor said to the young man. "SG-1 is Earth's first line of defence. Mr. Williams has experience with the Necronomicon before. Ms. Summers and Mr. Harris are both part of a demon fighting team. Due to their contributions, Earth has survived many dangers. Mr. Sorbo has also served the Earth well for
some time in many unique ways."

Jack asked, "Do you know where we can find Ninnedinna?"

Thor stated, "That I do not know the answer to."

Buffy looked at the alien, "Are you going to send us home after this?"

Thor said, "After we are finished, I am going to send you to the SGC. That is where is located. There, you can contact your friends and let them know everything is fine. Now, if you excuse, I would like to talk to Mr. Sorbo."

Hercules asked, "Where do you want to talk?"

The Asgard said, "Follow me. When we are finished, then I will send you back to the SGC."

With that said, the two of them left the room.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Buffy asked.

Xander said, "I don't have the slightest idea." He then glanced over to a window. "Take a look at this, Buff."

The two of them headed over to the window. "Just look at that. Doesn't that make you feel, y'know, small?"

She looked at through the window and was amazed by the vastness of outer space. Buffy sighed, "I do now."

He wrapped his arm around her waist as they continued to look, "I know it's depressing. But it makes you think. I realize that we might have any effect to
change all that, but we do have the ability to change things around us. And as I look at you and the gang, I realize that we've had an effect on each other. If
it wasn't for me, you wouldn't get any donuts and if you weren't here, I probably would've died too many years ago."

She looked at him, and stared into his eyes. She saw that the same look a few weeks ago when they went to his apartment that first time since the summer began. "You do more than just the donut runs."

"I do?"

She smiled, "Xander, this summer I learned a lot about myself and reevaluated my life and everyone that I hold dear to me. And you're my hero."

"I'm your hero?"

Buffy pulled him down to her and hugged him, "Yes you are."

He smiled back, "And you're mine too."

She pulled away from him and had tears in her eyes. "I'm you're hero?"

Xander smiled, "Without a doubt."

"What are you looking at?"

The question brought the two of them back to the group.

With a smile, Buffy said, "We never saw the stars this close. Have you Teal'c?"

---

Hercules and Thor walked down the corridor, both staring forward.

"It has been a long time, Hercules."

The demigod nodded, "It sure has, Thor. Too long if you ask me."

"We certainly have been occupied. You have saved Earth numerous times, my friend.

He smiled, "It's what I do, Thor."

"Indeed."

"Thank you for using my alias back there. For a moment, I though you were going to call me, Hercules."

"Having the same mind since they day I was first born, makes me realize that at times change is good. Also, your world has lost what it first had. Many people fear and are prejudice down there."

"We still had our problems back then."

"Yes, that would be correct. But that was between humans and centaurs. Color was never an issue."

"Times change, Thor. But things like prejudice never will. It's sadly part of human nature."

"All races have bad and good factors, Hercules. When Humanity learns from their mistakes, then they can become the fifth race."

"I hope to be alive then."

"And you should be. One thing about your agelessness is that you have proven yourself to be an almost unstoppable force. The Asgard are lucky to have a friend like you."

"I'm just glad the goa'uld didn't take the roles of all the gods they killed."

"We did the best we could, Hercules. Now, about Ninnedinna…"

"I was wondering when you were getting to that." He chuckled to himself.

"Mr. Harris, Ms. Summers, and Mr. Williams have never traveled the sars before. They are going to need some help. Keep a close eye on your friends. They do not know the truth, do they?"

The demigod, "Only Xander does." He saw a confused look, "The boy. He found out about me during a fight."

"Ah, I see." He said with certainty. "Do you know where to find Ninnedinna?"

"No, I don't sadly."

"I suggest you look to your family for help."

His eyes widened, "My family?"

---

The mention of Teal'c real name caused SG-1 to turn to the blond slayer.

Xander asked, "What kind of name is Teal'c? No offence."

Teal'c just responded with a raised eyebrow.

Daniel looked his friend, not sure how to respond, "Jack…"

The colonel said to them, "Murray is just a cover name for Teal'c."

"His last name isn't Jaffaman, is it?" Ash asked.

Teal'c said, "My real name is Teal'c. I come from the planet, Chulak."

Buffy said, "You mean-"

Xander continued for his friend, "Teal'c is an alien?"

Daniel said, "For the most part. He is human in nature, except he has a pouch in his stomach."

"Like a kangaroo?" Xander asked.

Jack smirked.

Everyone looked at him.

"What? I thought it was funny."

Sam said, "For the most part. Instead of housing a baby marsupial, it houses a goa'uld symbiot."

"Or snake." Jack rephrased.

Daniel nodded, "Right. Snake. Teal'c and the 'snake' have a symbiotic relationship. The goa'uld uses Teal'c to live and the goa'uld allows Teal'c good health."

"Is there anything else you want to tell us?" Ash asked. "Or is Thor, Teal'c, and Ninnedinna is?"

"That's all we can tell you for now." Jack said. "Remember? We're on a need to know bases."

"Alright then." Xander said.

---

"Get in there!"

Ninnedinna threw Faith across the room until she landed by the far wall.

Faith sprung to her feet and charged the unknown woman, "Where the fuck am I?"

The fake-goddess shot out her hand, opened her palm, and light emerged. Soon energy released and shot Faith back to the wall.

"What are you?" Faith screamed as she got to her feet/

Smiled, "I am a goddess. My name is Ninnedinna."

She showed a confused look, "A goddess?"

"You're right, Faith."

"You know my name?"

Ninnedinna nodded, "I do, Faith. I know about you, and your uncle. I'm the one who created the Neronomicon."

The Slayer glared at her, "You created the Necronomicon! You sent my uncle through hell?"

She cackled, "Your uncle has proven himself to be quite strong. I have the perfect plan for him and you. All will know the power of Ninnedinna!"

"What are you planning?" Faith asked to her as she walked forward.

She grinned, "Like I'm going to tell you." Faith turned around and started to walk down the hall, "I have plans for you, Faith. I have plans for you."

When she was gone from sight, Faith said to herself, "I'll give her one thing. She didn't tell me her plan. That's different."

Faith then turned around and looked out the window, "In the words of Dorothy, 'Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.'"

---

Hercules repeated his question, "My family?"

Thor answered, "Indeed, Hercules. The Asgard does not know where Faith and Ninedinna are. However, the Ancients and your friend, Prometheus, had an arrangement."

He remembered, "Right. If I remember correctly, Prometheus was given the Astral Rod by the Ancients."

Thor stated, "Yes, which is why Zeus chained him to Caucasus the first time."

Hercules said, "But Zeus gave the Astral Rod to Raiden. Being an elder god might help us. Although
the Astral Rod might be in Outworld."

The alien said, "As with Faith I have not been able to ascertain the current whereabouts of Raiden. Since you will be at the SGC with SG-1 and your friends, you will be unable to contact Raiden in order to help you. It is possible that one of your family could help."

He shook his head, "My family won't help. All they care about are themselves. And saving Faith would not be on their 'to do ' list."

Thor sighed, "I am sorry then, Hercules. The Asgard cannot locate Raiden. Are you sure you do not have any family that will help?"

Hercules sighed, "I have to think about this, Thor. Ares wouldn't do this. Same with Hades, Apollo, or any other gods. Traveling offworld is forbidden. And
after Zeus chained up Prometheus, I don't think any god would be willing to help."

"All I can say then, Hercules is you should return to your friends in the other room and prepare to be transported to the SGC. It would be wise to think about which god to send. We shall be in touch."

The demigod shrugged, "Maybe Xander will have some insight."

With that said, two old friends left the corridor and headed back to the main room.

---

"I trust everyone is ready to be transported to the SGC."

SG-1, Xander, Buffy, and Ash looked to the source of the voice as Thor and Hercules came walking in.

Buffy sighed, "I'm ready as I'll ever be."

"We just don't know where to find Faith and this means we're pretty much at a stand-still." Xander said to sum up.

"Hate to say this Jack, but Xander's right." Daniel said to his friend.

Suddenly, light brightened within the room, and the eight people disappeared.

---

"Dammit, General where the hell has SG-1 got to now?"

The general looked up to the man that stood before him, Senator Robert Kinsey- a man that he really didn't much, like the pompous senator. The man had always a thorn in the side to himself and the SGC . "I assure you, Senator. SG-1 is on a mission that is important. Our teams here are looking into a way to contact them."

"One of these days General that incompetent team you call SG1 is going to end up causing problems for the entire planet, this is precisely the type of thing I said would happen if the SGC stayed in operation now with the entire team out of communication you don't think that you should have warned the oversight committee?"

Soon, white light filled the room, and then dissipated.

General Hammond and Senator Kinsey saw with open eyes
eight other people standing in General Hammond's office.

Hammond looked at the colonel, "What's going on, Colonel? Where have you been?" He then looked at four people he never saw before.

Before he could say anything, Kinsey interrupted, "Who the hell are you?"

Jack said, "Sir, we just came from seeing Thor."

Kinsey looked at Hammond, "Thor?" He then turned to SG-1, "What the hell is going on, Colonel?"

He suddenly remembered something, "You mean the 'Thor' from your reports, don't you, Colonel?" The senator looked at the four others, "I'll say this again, who are these people? Civilians aren't welcomed to the SGC."

"You're proof of that." Mumbled Jack under his breath.

"Senator," Sam began before any hostility broke out, "Thor requested out help to go after Ninedinna."

"Ninedinna, Captain?"

The archeologist said, "A goa'uld, Sir. She kidnapped Faith and took the Necronomicon."

"Ninedinna, Thor, Necronomicon?" Kinsey asked aloud. "What is hell is going on around here?"

"We're trying to explain," Hercules said to calm down the situation.

"And who the hell are you Mister? This is a military instillation give me a reason not to throw you in the brig."

"Well Sir, My name's Kevin Sorbo."

"The Actor?"

"Yes, Sir.

"So not only do you bring Civilians into this base Colonel you bring a high profile actor with you, you better have a damn good explanation."

Xander said, "Sir, Thor chose us because we bring something to help SG-1 on this matter."

"I didn't ask you boy…" Kinsey snarled at Xander, Buffy's grip on Xander's arm was the only thing holding him back from punching Kinsey across the room.

"You better explain, Colonel." Asked Hammond

"Well, Sir. I'd prefer Danny to do this but I'll try. Basically Sir, these are Ash Williams, Xander Harris, Buffy Summers, and Kevin Sorbo. They're the locals I was talking about, Sir."

Hammond remembered their previous discussion. So, he knew Jack was serious with these people, "Senator, I assure you, that even though these people are needed to bring back their friend and stop Ninedinna from using the Necronimicon."

He walked over to the younger members of these people he just met, "These two look like they're still in high school! What are you, freshmen?"

Buffy said in her defense, "Seniors."

He looked at the general, "Whatever. So you're okay with teenagers being here?"

Daniel slipped out, "She's also a vampire slayer."

His eyes rolled as he glanced at the archeologist, "A vampire slayer?"

Kinsey looked at Jack, "So, you didn't just bring in a teenager, Colonel? You brought in a psychotic slut?"

Without even thinking, Xander balled his hand into a fist, and launched forward. He punched Kinsey across the face, "You take that back, you Bastard!"

Jack smirked, (This kid isn't that bad after all.)

Kinsey took a few steps back, and rubbed his sore spot, "Hammond, I demand that you take these civilians to the brig!"

"Colonel O'Neill, you and you're team, take Mr. Harris, Ms. Summers, Mr. Sorbo, and Mr. Williams to the debriefing room. I'll be right down."

Jack nodded, "Yes, Sir. Follow me." With that, the eight of them left the office.

Hammond looked at the senator. "We need to talk. Right now!"
