Chapter two

Xander realized that he should have known that just because the happened to be Halloween night didn't mean that it would be lacking in the violence of the supernatural, this was the Hellmouth after all and nothing ever went as planned.

As he stood in the street he watched in stunned puzzlement, the kids starting acting like menaces, only he didn't think that it was the sugar that was doing this.

He was just about to try to react when he felt something crash into him, he reeled back slightly; then the world as he knew it went black.

Oddly enough the form of Xander Harris remained standing, his head and shoulders sagged and it looked as if he was worn out, then he slowly rose his head and started observing what was going on around him.

"Ookay," he said slowly, he raised his gun slightly and assessed the situation; there were short inhuman aliens running around terrorizing people, he looked around looking for his team.

They weren't there, come to think of it he couldn't even remember going through the 'gate. Maybe the Goa'uld were messing with his head, he knew he had to find SG1 asap.

He angled his gun to protect himself and went off in search of his kids; he needed to find out what the hell was going one.

He jogged up the dark street aiming his gun as he went at the possible threats, then he saw one of the little alien dudes scaring an old man, unable to ignore this he aimed his gun at it and pulled the trigger.

The shot grazed the alien's shoulder as it changed its position, "For cryin' out loud," he muttered as the red coloured alien ran off.

"Hey!" he span around and came face to face with some redheaded girl, he angled the gun at her.

The kid didn't look like she was about to attack him, but still, you couldn't be sure.

The girl was dressed in military uniform and a helmet, but she looked like she was playing dress-up, he was instantly reminded about his deceased son as he remembered the occasions when his kid dressed as a soldier and saluted him.

The usual raw emotional pain jabbed at him and he had to push it away before it distracted him, he needed to find out if the kid was a threat or in trouble.

But they were in the middle of a battle ground and it wasn't the time for a conversation, so he settled for keeping a close eye on the kid, "Hey, kid, it's pretty dangerous out here so why don't you go and run for cover."

The redhead, who looked barely two years older than Cassie, gave him a strange look and said, "Kid?!"

They both jumped as the trash cans crashed loudly to the ground, a purple alien growled and hissed as it threw the cans out of its way and then it came towards them looking about as unfriendly as the ever-annoying Snakeheads.

Jack grabbed the kid and pulled her behind him ignoring her protests and almost forgetting that she could very well be a threat as well. He pointed his gun at the purple guy.

Then they both heard a terrified scream, Sam in Willow's body turned around and saw two ugly-looking alien walking menacingly towards a dark-haired teenager dressed in a 18th century dress and looking pretty damn scared.

Sam heard the dark-haired military boy curse and a gunshot ran out, she turned and saw that the purple alien was now running down the street fast with blood on its forearm.

She moved quickly to avoid being hit by the gun as the teenage boy pointed the weapon towards the aliens who were getting closer to the brunette adolescent; he was going to shoot when another three aliens decided to attack the other two.

Jack shook his head in confusion and decided to get the hell out of the dodge; he grabbed the redhead and made his way to the brunette who they both noted was on the ground after fainting.

They dragged her to the foot of a large tree and they both hoped that she would regain consciousness soon; the gun that was being used was probably already low on ammo.

The entire situation confused Sam who hadn't been able to find out what was going on or how she had gotten to this planet, she was even more confused that she was being commanded by a guy that was almost young enough to be her son. He sounded so military that she wondered if he was a soldier.

There was also another situation that confused even more; she was pretty damn sure that she wasn't in her own body, the hands weren't hers- they were smaller that her own and Sam was pretty sure that she had shrunk about four inches.

And then there was her hair; red, last time she checked she was a blonde, which made her wonder what the hell was going on.

Hopefully she'd find out and then she could work on how to get her team back and how to get them back to Earth.

Sam was kneeling over the teenager who was now waking up, "Are you alright?"

"What?" the kid sounded bewildered, probably scared out of her mind.

"Are you hurt?" asked the soldier-boy giving them a brief glance over his shoulder.

"What's happening?" she asked confused.

"You'll be okay, just stay down," replied Sam trying to calm the kid down.

"I don't understand," she said nervously. "Who are you?"

"We're not going to hurt you," reassured Sam. "What's your name?"

"Elisabeth," she answered sounding British.

Jack was listening in on the conversation and he felt that maybe the he and redhead were on the same side, he wasn't sure about Elisabeth but she sounded so frightened that it was kinda hard to be suspicious.

But he was a soldier and he had his team to look for, so he would keep an eye on the both of them because it was in his job description to be on guard at all times.

"This is a strange place," said Elisabeth who was sounding increasingly upset. "How did I come to be here?"

Sam didn't know what to say, she turned to the soldier-boy seconds before hearing the girl scream and the growls of the alien who had green skin and a pair of nasty-looking horns on its head.

Sam pulled the teen away from the hostile and gave it a roundhouse kick to the face; it teetered for a second before slumping to the ground in a heap.

She heard another scream from the girl and turned to see her using the dark-haired boy for cover, "A demon, a demon!" she shrieked in fear.

She looked for the 'demon' and saw nothing but a car coming towards them with its headlights on, hadn't this girl seen a car before? It was on her home-planet after all.

She turned to the girl, "It's not a demon," she said. "It's a car."

The girl swallowed and said in a small voice, "What's it want?"

"What's she saying?" asked the soldier-boy who she still no the name of.

"She doesn't know what a car is," replied Sam in bemusement.

"She's never seen a car?" he said not liking the situation they were in, still he and SG1 had gotten through worse.

But his kids weren't here, and he didn't know where he was.

"You have?" Sam asked him sounding confused.

Sam had thought that the two kids were from this planet, but what if they weren't?

"You two are from this planet, right?" asked Jack.

"I'm not from this planet?" clarified Sam. "Are you?"

He shook his head while Elisabeth looked at them as if they were crazy.

Sam shook her head and looked around at the destruction, "We should get inside."

Jack nodded, he entirely agreed with the kid.

"Hey," he put a hand on the redhead's shoulder. "What's your name?"

Sam smiled, "Major Carter, but I'd go with either Sam or Carter."

She turned away barely noting that her reply had left him speechless, she led Elisabeth towards an abandoned house and then turned back to the soldier-like boy, "What's yours?"

"Oh, um, Jack, Jack O'Neill."

Willow's eyes went wide.

Jack swallowed, "Carter?"

"Colonel?"

"What the hell is going on here?"
