Note: This is a multi-genre story.

Special note: This story will serve as a series of "vignettes" that, while connected to the "Sailor Moon ST" series, cover key points in the life of Usagi ("Sailor Moon") Tsukino, as she travels the space-time continuum with her companion and lover, Ranma Saotome (of "Ranma 1/2 " fame). Specifically, this story deals with the series "Stargate SG-1", "Farscape" and "Battlestar Galactica" (new and old series). I'm NOT going to get into it real deep, but people have been asking me more details of this period in Usagi's life…so here it is. Enjoy!

Part 1: "Year One"
In the first year of the secret American program known as "Project: Stargate" (codenamed "Giza" by the United States Air Force), two specialists of dubious origins were brought in to assist Stargate Command's first mission to the planet Abydos, by way of a series of "Stargates". At the time, no one knew that these so-called "specialists" were already familiar with Stargate technology. No, their assignment was to make sure that the United States Air Force and the American government doesn't cause an alien invasion, which, unfortunately, has happened before…

Regardless, the mission to Abydos proved to be a success, with one of the specialists subduing the System Lord "Ra" (a near-ascended Gao'uld). The Gao'uld are a species of symbiotic life forms that uses the mythology and lore of lesser beings as a means of controlling them. To be sure, there ARE powerful metaphysical beings that were classified as "gods. However, conventional wisdom tends to classify them as simply "extra-terrestrials". Still, regardless of how they are seen, these potent beings are nevertheless dangerous. Thus, a year later, when the minions of the System Lord "Apophis" attacked the Cheyenne Mountain facility on Earth a year later, "Project Stargate" was restored to full operational status. As a result, three members of the original Stargate mission was called back to service…

Major General George Hammond closes his last file. He already knew the Saotomes from his days in Vietnam. However, having read their complete files—which he wouldn't be surprise if they were incomplete—Hammond knew to expect more surprises. At the very least, he knew that the Saotomes were professionals at doing…whatever they do best. And if things get too "hairy" for the new "SG-1" commander, Hammond knows that either of the Saotomes have means and the will to become…lethal, if need be.

"Well, I'm glad that you accepted this assignment, Captain Saotome…Captain Saotome," Hammond says.

"It certainly beats during pure research, sir," Usagi says, as she stood by her husband.

"Well, I'm just surprised that you need us at all, sir," Ranma says. "And besides, I thought we were done with the Gao'uld."

"So did WE. Unfortunately, with this latest attack, the government cannot afford to NOT respond to this incursion."

"So, when do we leave for Abydos?" Usagi asks.

"Funny you should ask…"

An hour later…

"We're here," says Lt/Colonel Jack O'Neil says, as he and his new team arrives on Abydos. "Huh. I like the décor."

Ranma looked over to his team. There was O'Neil, Usagi, Captains Charles Kawalski, Louis Ferretti and one other…

"I'm getting strong electro-magnetic fields in the area to the north," Captain Samantha Carter says, as she took readings of the area. She was not as familiar with the Stargate network, but her knowledge in Astrophysics helped her to decipher the information left behind by Dr. Daniel Jackson.

"Usagi?" Jack asks.

"Confirmed, sir," Usagi replies. "Most likely an energy signature of a 'Death Glider'."

"'Death Glider'?" Sam asks.

"Something we were attacked with the last time we were here," Ferretti replies.

Meanwhile, Ranma's mind seem to wander off…

FLASH!

Ranma sees himself in a field of endless wheat, where a solitary figure stood in the distance. Sounds of the Middle East seem to drift in the background…

"Who are you?" Ranma demands. For a long time, ever since Ranma defeated the Gao'uld "Ra" the previous year, he dreams of this place. Being on Abydos seem to bring out that dream more into his conscious mind.

The figure turns around. Dressed like a regal ruler of ancient Egypt, "Ra" smiles. Unfortunately, this version of the Gao'uld had the face of Ranma's female form.

"What?" Ranma exclaimed.

"I am surprised that it took you this long to return to Abydos, Lord Ranma," Ra says with a smirk. "Or, should I address you as…Father?"

"That was a LONG time ago, and your 'evolution' was by accident, too. But what I don't understand is HOW you can be here…and WHY do you look like my…girl body?"

"Why not?" Ra says. "Besides, that body is connected to the power of the Sun. And as to your FIRST question…I left a piece of me inside your body."

"A larvae," Ranma says with disgust.

"It will be a matter of time before it fully matures. And, unfortunately for YOU…removing it could kill you. And even if you managed to do so, my psychic imprint will remain behind."

"Yeah, right," Ranma replied, as he folds his arms. "Assuming what you say is TRUE, you KNOW I'm going to do whatever it takes to get rid of you."

"I'm sure you will try, Izanagi. I'm sure you will TRY..."

FLASH!

"Ranma, are you okay?" Usagi asks with concern. "You…spaced out a bit."

Ranma looked at his wife. As much as he wanted to, Ranma wanted to deal with Ra himself."

"It's nothing."

"I'm glad to hear that, Captain," Jack says. "We have a man to find…"

A while later…

"We're taking heavy fire from those 'Jaffa'," Kawalski says, as he peeked around the corner. "We should have brought heavy weaponry or something."

"You are such a wimp, Kawalsky," Ranma says, as he delivered a volley of rounds in the direction of Apophis' minions. "Yo, Usagi! How are we doing?"

"I'm doing the best I can, Ranma," Usagi says, as she continued her work to jury-rig the dial of the Stargate. Earlier, they had freed Daniel Jackson from the Gao'uld slave pit, and were trying to go after Apophis. Apparently, he had kidnapped Daniel's wife Sha're and a kid named Skaara—whom Jack sort of adopted as his "Little Brother"—from Abydos. Unfortunately, the Jaffa—minions of the System Lords who also have Gao'uld symbiotic life forms within them as well—had destroyed the main control panel that controlled the Stargate.

Usagi was using amazing speed in re-synchronizing the power coupling with the secondary junction box.

"How…how do you know any of this?" Sam says.

"Sam, I need for you do keep track of those coordinates," Usagi says, as she concentrated on her work. "I'll have the power up for less than ten seconds, so you will have to use your lap top as soon as the Stargate activates…once."

"Um, okay," replies Sam. She wondered how a communications specialist knew so much about material science. After all, the conductivity properties of the dial were dependent on a specific frequency to activate. And with dial destroyed, Usagi had to cobble together something for the dial to work, even for a short while.

"How's it going?" O'Neil asks, as he and his new ally Teal'c (a rogue Jaffa warrior who cut a deal with Jack in order to free Daniel from captivity) come up behind the pair.

"I'm about to pull off a 'MacGyver'," Usagi says.

"'MacGyver'?"

"Yeah, it's when you cobble together junk in order to pull off an effect."

"Huh. I didn't know you knew my cousin Angus."

Usagi stops her work.

"YOU know Mac?"

"Yeah, I just said that he was my cousin-"

"Sir, we are taking enemy fire, and we do not have long before we lose Apophis' trail," Sam says urgently.

"The woman is correct," Teal'c says. "If we do not hurry, Shar're and Saakra WILL become hosts for the Gao'uld."

"Right," O'Neil says. "Look alive, and get the job done."

"Yes, sir!" Usagi says.

Later still…

"NOOOOO!" Daniel yells, as the bespectled archeologist tried to catch up with Apohis' party. After rescuing Daniel on Abydos, the SG-1 team traveled to the planet Chulak, thanks to Daniel's work in mapping the Stargate network. Unfortunately, the team arrived too late before Sha're became the Gao'uld consort "Amonet" to Apophis, while Skaara (her younger brother) became Gao'uld "Klorel".

"It's too late, Daniel," Usagi says, as she comfort's her ally and friend. "We have to get home."

As the rest of the team pulls up behind the pair, Usagi wonders why Apophis told her that "The Sun of the Gao'uld" will rise again…when referring to Ranma.

"Guys, we better get our here," Ranma says, as he and the rest of SG-1 came upon the scene. "We're not going to last long fighting off a detachment of Jaffa."

"But, what about the people here?" Jackson says.

"I promise you that when it's time, we'll free these people, Daniel," O'Neil says.

"Of course," Daniel says with a daze.

"We've established contact with SGC, sir," Sam says, as she hunched over the Stargate on Chulak. "We can go home."

"Are you sure you want to do this, Teal'c?" O'Neil asks.

"It's too late for me, but I have to try and help free my people."

O'Neil nods his head. And, within a few minutes…everyone was gone.

Thus, a new chapter has begun for Earth, as shadow war of sorts begins.

Tbc.
