Hello, everyone! This is my first crossover, as well as my first attempt to write a story about SG-1. Please review and let me know what you think about this story. Suggestions are more than welcome. I utilize most of the suggestions offered to me, as the reviewers who have suggested something to me in my other stories well know.
Anyway, please enjoy reading this, and then review to tell me what you think.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story, from either series. This is fan fiction, so naturally, I do not own anything but the story itself.
"Chevron One encoded."
SG-1 was standing in the gate room, full of anticipation. General Hammond marched back and forth in front of the group, holding his arms behind his back.
"Now I want you to remember that we know next to nothing about this planet," said Hammond, "Except for the fact that it seems capable of supporting life..."
"Chevron Two encoded."
"...And that there doesn't appear to be a DHD accompanying their Stargate," Hammond finished.
"We understand, sir," replied Colonel Jack O'Neill, "Daniel thinks that he might be able to figure it out."
"Chevron Three encoded."
"I'm counting on it, Colonel," said Hammond.
"Chevron Four encoded."
"Sir," said Major Samantha Carter, "Could you remind me why we're going to a planet that doesn't have a DHD?"
"Certainly, Major Carter," said Hammond, "There have been rumors going around about people coming to our planet from this one, without going through our Stargate..."
"Chevron Five encoded."
"...Yet, when these people are questioned, all they can tell us is that they've come through "The Gate". I want you to figure out how they get here, just in case the Goa'uld discover this method they're using," said Hammond.
"Chevron Six encoded."
"So even though we are putting ourselves at risk by going on this mission," said Teal'c, "We would be putting this planet at a greater risk by not doing so."
"Exactly," said Hammond, "Remember, this mission being the way it is, I'm giving you all the option of opting out of it."
All four members of SG-1 simultaneously said, "I'm in."
"Chevron Seven locked."
Suddenly, inside the circle of the Stargate, what appeared to be water materialized out of nowhere and gushed out towards the SG-1 party. Before it reached them, however, it fell back toward the Stargate, and settled down. The event horizon now had the appearance of a giant puddle of water held up vertically by the Stargate.
General Hammond placed his hand on Colonel O'Neill's shoulder. "I wish you luck," he said.
"Thanks, we're gonna need it," replied O'Neill.
The four members of the SG-1 team walked up the ramp toward the Stargate. O'Neill stepped into the event horizon and vanished. He was soon followed by Teal'c and then Daniel Jackson. Major Carter turned around to take one last look at the SGC, and then she too stepped through the Stargate.
The next thing that the four of them knew, they were thrown out of the Stargate into an evergreen forest. Samantha turned around to look at where they had come from. "Sir, look!" she said, pointing towards the Stargate...which was not there!
"I do not understand, O'Neill," said Teal'c, "How could we have arrived on a planet that has no Stargate?"
"I don't know, Teal'c," said O'Neill, "But we're sure as heck gonna find out."
"So, what do we do, sir?" asked Carter.
"This is just a wild guess on my part, but I'd say that we should probably find some of the natives first and foremost," said O'Neill, in his usual sarcastic manner.
"Which way should we go?" asked Teal'c.
"Sam, Jack, look at this!" said Daniel.
The other three members of the SG-1 team came running over to where Daniel was.
"What is it?" said O'Neill.
"It looks to me to be footprints," said Samantha Carter, "Human footprints."
"These footprints even look like they were made by military-style boots, the kind of military-style boots that the military on Earth uses," said Daniel.
"So wait, wait, hold on a minute," said O'Neill, "Are you trying to say that someone from Earth has already been here?"
"Either that, or this civilization is very much like our own," said Daniel.
"I say that we follow these footprints, and find out which theory is correct," said O'Neill.
"I agree," said Teal'c.
So, the four people followed the footprints. After several miles, they came to a clearing. They lost the footprint trail, but they found something else.
"Are those...train tracks?" asked Samantha Carter.
"Either some strange space bug leaves wood and metal in it's wake, or those are train tracks," said Jack O'Neill.
"Are you sure that we indeed travelled to another planet, O'Neill, and were not merely sent to another part of Earth," said Teal'c.
"Or back in time," Daniel added.
"No," said O'Neill, "I'm pretty sure that this is another planet. I don't know why I know, I've just got this funny feeling."
"Then, do you think that we should follow these tracks, sir?" asked Carter.
"No, I think we ought to go and check out that train station over there," said O'Neill. Everyone followed his gaze and his extended index finger. Sure enough, there appeared to be a train station just a few yards distant.
"This is getting weirder and weirder, " said Samantha Carter as they walked over to the small, wooden building.
As they approached the building, a young woman, probably in her thirties, came out to greet them.
"Hello," she said, "Are you waiting for the train?"
Samantha and Daniel exchanged glances, then Daniel spoke up, "Uh, we're not from around here. Where exactly does this train go?"
"You're visitors from abroad? Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay here," said the lady, "This train goes to Central City. It should be here in a few minutes."
"Well, sir, should we go to Central City?" asked Samantha Carter.
"I'd like to, but I'm afraid that we don't have their kind of currency," said Colonel O'Neill.
"I'm sorry to hear that," said the lady, "Let me know if I can be of any further assistance to you. I'll be in the station."
"Well, she seemed normal enough," said Daniel.
"Compared with the Goa'uld, the Asgard, and the Nox, yeah, I'd say they're pretty normal," said O'Neill.
Just then, a young man seemingly jumped right out of the sky and landed in front of them. "I couldn't help but notice your strange clothes," he said, "You aren't from around here, are you?"
"No, as a matter of fact..." Daniel began, but he got cut off.
"You wouldn't have come through the Gate by any chance, would you?" asked the man.
"Yes, as a matter of fact..." replied O'Neill, who was also cut off.
The man started seething visually, and said, "I despise the Gate, and I despise anyone who comes through it." Suddenly, his body transformed before their very eyes into looking like someone from the SGC. He raised a gun at them, and said, "Prepare to die!"
Just then, they heard a young voice from behind shouting "CUT IT OUT!" A boy that looked to be no more than twelve with a blond braid in his hair jumped in between SG-1 and the intruder, and slapped both his hands on the ground. Blue sparks rose out of the boy's hands, and the ground beneath them all started to toss and turn.
"Well, little midget, it seems that you have gotten in my way again," said the intruder, switching back to his original form, "Very well, I will leave for now, since I wasn't prepared to fight you. I will be back when I've brought reinforcements." With that, he leaped back up into the air, and was gone.
The boy stood up, then turned around and looked at the SG-1 team. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes, thanks to you," said Samantha Carter, "Who was that guy anyway?"
The boy scratched his head nervously. "You don't want to know," he said.
"Well, thanks for saving us," said Jack O'Neill.
"I'm just glad that I got here in time," said the boy, "Are you from around here?"
"No, we're not, and we're trying to figure out how to get to Central City, since all we have is foreign currency," said Daniel.
The boy thought for a moment, then said, "I'm heading for Central myself. I suppose that I could pay your fare for you, if you give me the equivalent amount in your currency."
"Are you sure you want to do that?" asked Samantha Carter.
"Sure, why not? I can get the military to pay for it anyway," said the boy.
"Well, thank you very much," said Colonel O'Neill, "We're much obliged to you."
Daniel Jackson leaned over and whispered into the Colonel's ear, "Do you still think that this is a 'normal' civilization?"
"No," said Colonel O'Neill, "Definitely not normal."
