A New Race

By: ImperialWaka9786

Notes: This timeline is set around after the episode "The Fifth Race" with Stargate Command exploring stargates that are outside the known Goa'uld gate system. This story will be mostly from the view point of the alien race and some view points on the humans, showing how the Tau'ri try to ally with a more advance race. Since this a new race with a different language, I've included reference for words that are being used.

Update: To those who are reading my story, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read it and that this is the first time writing fan fiction. All reviews would be welcomed. In my rush to post this story I forgot to add this little part and hope you guys will like what I have so far.

As the morning light grew brighter on the mountainous slopes hundreds of meters above the ground on the side of Mt. Daichi. Two young women climbed the sides of the mountain, one wanted the thrill of adventure while the other wanted to keep her safe from harming herself.

"My lady, I wish you would stop climbing on the side of the cliffs," said Bai Bhattacharya as she climbed nervously behind her friend and master.

"Oh, Bai would you stop worrying. Look at how fun this is... climbing the cliffs and getting some fresh air," said Akiko as she took hold of another bulge jutting out of the cliff as she worked her way up. "Look were almost there! Just a few more meters and were there." With her goal within sight, a burst of energy rushed through her body. Hopping from one bluff to the next, as if gliding toward the top with break next speed.

"My lady! You should not go so fast, otherwise you could slip and fall," yelled Bai as she climbed nervously faster to keep up with Akiko's pace. While Akiko continued to press forward, more determined than ever with the finish line in sight.

As Akiko grabbed the ledge on top of a large outcrop, she breathed deeply to smell the fresh cool air that blew over the mountains. Her hair blowing wildly across her face as she pulled herself up and gazed into the lands below, where her people have lived for over one-thousand years. The vast forest that covered the base of the mountain to over twenty-five tai's across until it hits a large river that runs through the valley. As she gazed upon the beautiful scenery as if in trance, she awoken with the shuffling of rocks and heavy breathing from Bai as she grabbed hold of the ledge. "About time you got here Bai, my friend. Thought you'd never get here with you being so weak. I feared I would be forced to search for you back down the mountain. " Akiko said with vigor as she looked over the ledge.

As she held onto the edge with a heavy breath panting, "I would never leave you alone out here my lady. Now do me a great favor and pull me up… I seem to be out of strength at the moment," said Bai as she readied her position for one final push.

"Of course my friend. Nothing would please me more than to pull my friend from a hundred meter cliff," said Akiko as she helped Bai climb onto the outcrop.

Lying on the ground exhausted from her ordeal, after several minutes had passed Bai had rested up enough to sit up straight. Looking around her eyes widen as she viewed the same view that Akiko viewed. "My word. This is quite the view we have here, my lady. It would seem that all this hard work was not a complete waste after all." said Bai with a smile crossing her face.

"See Bai. I told you that it was worth the effort," said Akiko as she helped her stand up.

"I can see that this is a great view but I do not think it was worth the tortures trek up here though," said Bai leaning over the edge to see the bottom below. "I can not believe you made me come here just so you could fly over everyone," said Bai.

"Its not to just fly!" said Akiko zestfully. "It's so we can look over the valley and see the Fihr Shui. We can definitely see it from this vantage point Bai, " said Akiko. "Besides doing something like this will get some excitement in our boring lives, don't you agree Bai?" Just as she gazed over toward the direction of the Fihr Shui, a white flash sparkled at the Fihr Shui as if the divine universe answered her prayers. "What was that just now?" asked Akiko curious of the mysterious flash.

"I do not know, my lady. It would seem that something has activated the Fihr Shui. We should warn Lord Li of what has happen. The guards at the Fihr Shui should be more than a match for any trespasser." said Bai cautiously.

"Yes, father would want to know that we have outsiders here," said Akiko. As they both stood over the ledge, they soon unfurrowed their membrane like-wings and flew toward the gates of the city wondering who these outsiders were.

High above the ground, hidden within the branches of the forest stood a small outpost containing a small garrison of warriors to keep eye over the Fihr Shui in the case if outsiders ever entered the land's of the empire. Within the confines of the outpost, in one of the offices sat the captain of the guards reading over reports brought back from one of the scouts. "So...nothing to report from your patrol, Takeshi Abhay?" asked Captain of the Guard Basil Karimi as he looked at the report with boredom.

"Yes sir. As usual it has been quite like any other day, sir." said Takeshi Abhay.

As the captain looked up from his desk, a sigh escapes him as he could see that nothing new has changed. "Sorry Takeshi Abhay for not getting you something a little bit more exciting than scouting duty." said Captain Basil.

"It is an honor Captain. The guarding of the Fihr Shui is a most honored position. Our people have driven outsiders before and we can do it again if the need arises." said Takeshi Abhay proudly.

Captain Basil formed a small smile as he looked at the mans eyes. His eyes showing the pride of a Takeshi who had sworn to protect this world to his last breath. "It is good that I have such proud Takeshi's with me, guarding the Fihr Shui from our enemies," voiced the captain proudly.

"You honor us with such praise captain," expressed Takeshi Abhay humbled by such high praise as he knelt on one knee while his right arm saluted across his chest.

"Have your men refresh and some good sleep before your next shift," said Captain Basil.

His head still facing the ground, bowed before replying. "Yes sir," said Takeshi Abhay before standing up and walking toward the door.

As the Takeshi closed the door the captain alone now wondered how long before his men would ever face an outsider. It had been over five-thousand years since an enemy had come through any Fihr Shui and attacked the people of the Jimmu Empire. The planet of Ajit was small colony that was on the fringes of the empire and one of the few worlds that contained a Fihr Shui due to being a security risk in the inner parts of the empire. It had been many years since anyone had seen an outsider step out of the Fihr Shui but the people knew enough that if left unguarded could spell doom for their people. Captain Basil was one of those people who were given the honor to guard the Fihr Shui, for they would be the first line of defense against the transgressors.

Just as the captain was about to head back to his reports, a sudden commotion could be heard from outside his office. As the Captain Basil stood up and was about to see the what was happening, Takeshi Abhay burst through the door saying, "Outsiders have stepped through the Fihr Shui! They have sent some type of machine through the Fihr Shui." Captain Basil was shocked that someone would actually come through the Fihr Shui. During the last great war, a deal was struck that forbid anyone from the Goa'uld race entering the Jimmu Empire. The enemy knew if they broke such a law, it would bring an instant retaliation from the Empire. "Are they Jaffa?" asked Captain Basil with great instance.

"No, the machine is not like anything from our known knowledge of Goa'uld technology," said Takeshi Abhay with firm belief. "We believe this is a new race and one that is inferior to our technology," said Takeshi Abhay.

Soon more footsteps could be heard coming up to the door, with an exhausted looking man leaning against the door. The man soon knelt down on one knee, saluting with his right arm across his chest reporting. " Reporting from the front. Four men have step through the Fihr Shui and carry weapons with them," reported the Takeshi.

Shocked at the turn of events that rapidly transpired over course of only minutes, regained his composure and soon barked orders toward his men. "Have all guards assemble in the training field in front of this office. I will make an announcement and give you further orders then," ordered Captain Basil. As the captain walked out toward edge of the balcony in front of his office, he turned toward Takeshi Abhay saying, "have the Takeshi's form up into ready position, Takeshi Abhay." Looking at the captain Takeshi Abhay saluted before replying, "As you wish captain."

With the men finished gathering at the training field and getting into position, Captain Basil went down to inspect the troops. Looking to see that their crystal-like armor were spotless and their crystal katanas at the ready, before speaking. " Takeshi's! I will make this brief...It would seem that the gods have given us the a chance to prove ourselves. Let us not waste this chance, men!" bellowed Captain Basil toward a crowd of Takeshi. "Your orders are to ambush them at the forest. There we will take them Lord Li. Do you understand!" yelled Captain Basil into his men.

In one quick almost choreographed motion, each man slammed their right hand across their chest shouting, "Understood sir!" and then marched out into their designated groups.

As the troops prepared for the outsiders, Captain Basil motioned over to Takeshi Abhay to follow him back into the office. Both men walked up to a large stone-like table that sat in the center of the room. When Captain Basil touched a hidden key placed on the side of the table, a small console activated, and entered the his command code into the console. Soon the large stone-like table light up with a picture of entire valley. As the Captain zoomed in toward the Fihr Shui, the table displayed real-time video of the outsiders movements. Captain Basil gave a small inward smile as he saw the four outsiders were still there, walking only a few meters from the Fihr Shui. "Have your men placed here and here," said Captain Basil as he pointed toward two positions only twenty meters from the edge of the tree line. "Have the other squads be placed behind the Fihr Shui near treeline. We cannot let them leave this world, understand?" asked Captain Basil toward Takeshi Abhay.

"Understood sir!" replied Takeshi Abhay saluting. "We will not let them escape… this you have my word," saying with resolute before leaving to inform the other Takeshi's .

As Captain Basil watched Takeshi Abhay leave, he soon sets his eyes back toward the display smiling as his men would have chance to prove themselves in battle.

Within Stargate Command an exploration mission for P9G-425 is getting ready for launch. SG-22 awaits on stand-by while a MALP or Mobile Analytical Laboratory Probe prepares to go through the stargate. Major Conner Ely leading the mission, stands in the control room with Colonel O'Neill as they wait for the MALP to go through. "So...do we have any idea what this planet P9...G… something is suppose have?" asked Colonel O'Neill.

Major Ely looks toward Colonel O'Neill with a smirk responding, "It's called P9G-425 Jack and this is one of your worlds that you put it in. So you tell me if there's anything good?"

Colonel O'Neill glances toward Major Conner irked saying, "Not my fault Conner. I had that whole ancient data head sucking thing that gave me this stuff. Ask Carter, I'm sure she can explain that whole event better than I can."

"The MALP is now entering the stargate colonel," said Sergeant Karen as the MALP slowly enters through the gate. A few seconds later, "The MALP has entered the stargate and is on track."

"We should be getting telemetry data in just a moment sir," announced Chief Master Sergeant Harriman.

As the probe exited the stargate, it soon started to send video and data through the stargate giving the control room a view of the planet. "MALP is online and we are receiving feed now," said Sergeant Karen.

"So then what do we have, sergeant?" asked Colonel O'Neill as he looked up at the computer monitor.

"Well sir, it looks like CO2 levels are within acceptable levels and the MALP does not detect anything unusual. By all looks of things, this is a perfectly safe world to explore," said Sergeant Karen.

Just as the staff in the control room was examining the video feed from the MALP, General Hammond walks in the room. "What do we have Colonel?" asked General Hammond.

Major Ely and Colonel O'Neill turn to face the general, "Well general, the MALP says that everything is pretty hunky dory over the hill," said Colonel O'Neill sarcastically.

Major Ely saluting to General Hammond before asking, "Permission to lead SG-22 through the stargate, sir."

"Is there no threat from the planet that you can tell colonel?" asked General Hammond as he looked toward Colonel O'Neill.

"None that we can see, sir." responded Colonel O'Neill.

"Then you have a go, major. Have a safe trip out there," said General Hammond as the turned his attention to Major Ely.

With that Major Ely gave one last salute toward both Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond as he prepared his team to enter the stargate.

As the team assembled in front of the gate for one last equipment check before going through, Major Ely gave one last announcement. "Ok everyone. This mission should be relatively easy, with the MALP showing nothing of immediate danger."

"You mean no Goa'uld?" asked Dr. Christian Nobles who was the teams lead anthropologist.

"Yes, Dr. Nobles. Video from the MALP show no evidence of any Goa'uld occupation but don't let that fool you. We had many situations where that's bit us in the ass. I want each of you to be ready for anything that comes at us," said Major Ely sternly toward his fellow teammates.

With a single response all 3 teammates gave a resounding "Yes sir."

"Alright team...let's move out," said Major Ely and with that the team started walking through the gate, one by one.

#

As SG-22 examine the immediate area for any Goa'uld occupation, Major Ely marks the time before they are suppose to check-in back at stargate command. "Alright everyone, we have eight hours before we have to check-in again. So let's make it count shall we," announced Major Ely.

"Which way should we go, Major?" asked Sergeant Diego Sanchez.

"Well, let's go this way shall we. That hill over there looks like it would give us a good vantage point," said Major Ely as he pointed toward the tall nearby hill surrounded by tall woodland. "Let's move out people."

As SG-22 moved through the forest, Sergeant Sanchez is on point through the underbrush. "So you think we get time off to watch the big football game next week?" asked Sergeant Sanchez.

"You wish you could get time off. Will be lucky enough to be on Earth with this type of job." jokingly replied Master Sergeant Jason Prater. "This job just does not get the best reception when it comes to football, Sanchez."

Laughter erupted amongst the team as they hiked through the forest. "Alright guys that's enough joking around. Stay on task everyone," ordered Major Ely quickly regaining his composure. Just as they became quite, Major Ely soon took notice that the forest became eerily quiet. Major Ely soon motioned the team halt and sit low.

In a blink of an eye, huge beast-like forms swooped down from above the tallest of branches. Descending upon them like wolves ambushing its prey, the SG team was unable to react quick enough to defend themselves. The aliens were silent as they descended from the trees with one beast landing before reaching out and grabbing Sergeant Sanchez from the neck, tossing him ten feet into the air.

"Ambush!" cried out Major Ely before taking aim. "Open fir…" was all he could say before one of the beast smacking his head with the butt of his sword, knocking him to the ground.

With his vision becoming blurry, from the corner of his eye he could see two more attackers jump down, bringing with them what seemed like some type of sword-like thing and using the butt of it to knock out both Master Sergeant Prater and Dr. Nobles out.

Before darkness consumed his vision, he saw his entire team lying before him either unconscious or dead. With one of the attackers walking before the major speaking in a language unknown to him before finally blacking out.
