Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Final Fantasy VII or any other Final Fantasy game. I also do not own any of the characters from the Stargate series. I am not making any money from this, I only like to toy with the characters before I hand them back to their owners. Any original characters I do own and I would greatly appreciate it if you asked before borrowing them.

Prologue:

Another Dream

Mist enclosed him on all sides and the smell of flowers surrounded him. As far as he could see there were only white and yellow blooms, stretching out on every side.

"Oh no, not this dream again" He had been visited by this same dream every night for the past 2 months. In the morning he would only remember bits and pieces of the conversations and places. The dreams disturbed his sleep terribly and left him with a faint feeling of apprehension that not even his best friend of a good cup of coffee could sooth. The nights that he managed to go back to sleep after one of these dreams could be counted on his fingers. "This is really getting old you know. Why can't you just come right out and say what it is you want, all these cryptic dream messages are kind of cliché. I would expect something like this from Jack, but from you?"

Laughter like a fall of water of pebbles rang out behind him. "So you've finally remembered who I am?"

"No, I just get the feeling that cryptic isn't usually your way of handling things." He remained in one position, but she moved from where she was standing and into his line of sight. Her green eyes twinkled and her long brown hair and pink dress rippled in the soft breeze.

"Once you remember me, you'll know why I'm being cryptic. I've bent the rules close to breaking too many times all ready. You know what happens if they get too fed up. They've let me get away with it so far because of who I was helping. People who save the world get special favors."

"I've saved the world a few times, can I cash in on those favors now?"

"You already did."

"Of course, wouldn't want to make it too easy. Well if we're talking rules that prevent you from interfering with people and events in the outside world, you must be an Ancient."

"Got it in one. They don't call you a genius for nothing."

"What's my prize?"

"It's never that easy, you have to remember who I am first." She looked off into the mist with a distant look on her face. "I wish we had more time, but you need to remember. There isn't much time left. Things are going to get bad, all that work and it's still not done. There are people that need your help, whole planets that will fall if you can't remember. It's there, it's all there, buried away, and you'll find the key soon." The longer she spoke the more agitated she became. Her comments came quicker and even more cryptic than before. "I can't stay any longer, it's not safe here."

"Can't you give me a clue to get me started; I'll be flying blind otherwise." The edges of the dream began to blur together, like a watercolor left out in the rain.

"The Cetra, Midgar, they hold the answer." She began to fade out of the scenery. As she disappeared a shudder went down his spine. She might be gone, but he was definitely not alone. He'd developed a sixth sense about being watched, one of the many side effects of working for the military. From somewhere in the blurred edges of the landscape someone was watching him, maliciously. Dark laughter bounced off the mist. That was definitely new.

"Don't fret, you won't have to deal with these dreams much longer. They'll all die, they'll pay, and we can never forgive them."

"Who's there?" There was no answer, only more laughter that skirted the edge of sanity and felt like it was clawing at the edges of his brain. Suddenly the field around him, and it seemed the mist as well, burst into flames. Shielding his eyes from the heat he saw a flash of silver hair in the periphery of his vision and the world around him cracked like a mirror smashing into a wall.


He awoke screaming. The pounding of his heart was drowned out by the pounding of his best friend's feet on the floor as he burst into Daniel's room. "Nightmare, Danny?" he asked in an alert voice that made it hard to believe he had been asleep just minutes before.

Daniel shook his head "It was the same dream that I've been having since Vis Uban."

Jack looked skeptical, well at least as skeptical as one could look at 0300. "You've never woken up screaming from one of those dreams before, I would know. You've been living here since they let you move off base." Once Daniel's memories had begun to come back and Frasier had been sure there were no negative effects from Daniel's year with Oma he had been allowed to live off-base. Of course he once again had no place to live and Jack had told him with his habit of dying it would probably be easier if he just moved into his spare room.

"It was the same dream, Jack. But the end…it was different. Someone else was there." Jack looked surprised.

"It's always just been you and the mystery girl before right?"

"Yeah" Daniel shuddered. "Whoever this new one was, they definitely didn't seem friendly. She seemed scared there at the end of the dream, she's never been scared before."

"Everything started burning, even the air."Daniel shivered at the memory of the laughter he had heard. "Whatever this is, Jack. Whatever this woman is trying to warn me about, I…I think it's getting closer. I need to figure this out."

"Anything new to work with tonight?"

"She's an Ancient, I know that for sure now. She did say something else new. Something about The Cetra and something called Midgar." Daniel pulled himself out of bed, his brain rushing to put together the pieces of the puzzle. "I need to write this down while it's fresh and start looking for any mentions of this in the Ancient texts that have been translated so far. I think my book on Norse mythology is still at the Mountain though. I'll have to wait till tomorrow to look it over."

"Norse? Are you saying that Thor and Loki and the rest of the little grey guys might be mixed up in this too?" Jack did not look pleased.

"I'm not sure, but Midgar is referenced in Norse mythology I'm fairly certain. It could be just a coincidence, but…"

"You know how I feel about coincidences."

"Exactly Jack and I feel the same way. If the Asgard are involved as well as the Ancients, this is going to be big." Jack let out a frustrated sigh.

"I'm going back to bed Danny. I'll be no good tomorrow if I lose my beauty sleep."

"Jack, you need a lot more than six hours to get any beauty back." Jack shoved Daniel in the back as they walked out to the hall. Jack walked back to his bedroom, while Daniel walked downstairs to the den, which had been partially taken over by his research, despite Jack's complaints that he shouldn't bring his work home with him.

Jack groaned. They were going to have to talk to Hammond about the dreams again tomorrow; great way to start out the week. He punched his pillow into a new shape and tried to go back to sleep.

A/N: I'm not entirely sure why I've never seen this crossover done more often. It seems so obvious to me, but I've always been weird. I hope to write this crossover in a way that will make it worth reading. Thus saying, I'm not terribly familiar with SG-1 past the 4th season, as I've only watched a bit here and there that far into the series. If I ruin something in the canon please contact me and I'll try to fix it. The story departs from Canon after Daniel returns in season 7 and will not return to the canon for two reasons. 1.) It simply won't fit for this story at all and 2.) I'm not a big fan of the last 3 seasons. As for FF:VII, I know much more about the game, Advent Children and Last Order, but I've never played Dirge of Cerberus or Crisis Core, so details there will be practically non-existent except for what I glean online and from my brother.

A/N2: I should also mention that I don't write fanfiction often and it takes a lot for me to like a crossover at all. I'm hoping that I will write this one well enough that others will like it as well.

Reviews are greatly appreciated, Flames will be read and then used to make roasted sunflower seeds.
