Like to thank all those who review.

The poll is closed and the results are the Kents are having twins, one boy and one girl. Thanks to all of those who voted. Votes sent in by Reviews and PM were counted.

Thanks to all of you who took the time to answer my questions.

To clear some confusion people seemed had about the questions.

1. Bruce Wayne and Batmen being in the story.

I asked this because I really like the friendship Clark/Superman has with Bruce/Batman. Plus having Wayne Industries gives me a corporation for the SGC to give projects to. Still thinking about including him. If I do, I want to state that Batman would not suddenly be kick'n Jaffa butt, Most scenes would be of Bruce and Clark talking or maybe a short side story where Clark helps Batman or vice versa. There would only be one story arc where the Batman would interact with Sg-1 and the SGC and that is all I will say. I will only include him if he will fit into my plot framework. However it unlikely I will.

2. Should Smallville's Oliver Queen be included.

I asked this to see how you the readers would react. I really loved the Smallville incarnation of Oliver and the Green Arrow. I liked his friendship with Clark and the Perspective he brought. He will be included because his presence and company helps me write the Luthers and LutherCorp into the story.

3. Should the Smallville JL be included.

I asked this because the only member that has shown up so far in my Smallville timeline is Bart/The Flash (Who I really liked and he will be in the story), and maybe A.C./Aquaman. Personally I hate the JL and never got into them and their adventures. But I liked the Smallville version. This question is still undecided and I will just see if I am able to fit them in, if not then I won't.

4. Phantom Zod over Zod from Superman 2.

Either way my Zod will be closer to the movie Zod than Zod from Smallville. The question was more of, do you want a wraith Zod that possesses a main character, or a Zod that still has his body when he gets free. Still thinking over it, his arc is still a while off so I have time. Let me know in reviews which you prefer.


Chapter 4: The Protectorate of El.

...

In a tunnel of blinding blue-white light a Tel'tak hurtled towards a distant planet in the Sol system at ever-increasing speeds in a race against time to save the Earth from Anubis. In the cargo ship were five people, Bra'tac the Free Jaffa leader who had warned the Tauri of Anubis's attack, and the four members of Sg-1. Carter was amazed at modifications Jack had done to the ship. It was currently going through hyperspace at twenty times the ship's original speed and it was still going faster.

Jack O'Neill, a Colonel in the U.S. Air-Force and leader of Sg-1, was currently attaching various wires and machines from the SGC to the cargo ship's set of transporter rings. The Ancient Knowledge that O'Neill had absorbed had led the team to Pro'cla'rush, but the world was covered in molten rivers of lava and harden rock. Using the ship's sensors Jack led the team to a buried Ancient outpost beneath harden lava.

Inside the outpost Sg-1 discovered a throne like chair that Jack used to project a holographic image of a planet showing the location of the Lost City of the Ancients. To the shock of everyone the planet shown was Earth. As Jack manipulated the projection to account for continental drift, the location of the city finally stopped near the center of Antarctica.

When questioned why had they flown all the way out to Proclarush on the other side of the galaxy if the lost city had always been on Earth, Jack revealed the power source of the outpost. A large glowing crystal that Jack pulled from its socket.

Carter quickly realized why they had come out this far; whatever was on Earth was out of power and that they would need this crystal to use it against Anubis. While the team awaited a pickup by Bra'tac on the cargo ship, the Jaffa who owned ship, Ronan, turned out to be an agent of Anubis. He attempted to kill Bra'tac and leave Sg-1 to their doom on the planet.

Luckily Ronan had underestimated the strength of Bra'tac and paid with his life for his mistake as Bra'tac killed him and rescued the team before the lava could consume the now unshielded outpost. As Bra'tac lay dying from the wounds Ronan had inflicted, Jack approached him laying his hands on Bra'tac's wounds. A bright light enveloped both Jack's hands and Bra'tac's wounds as the other three members looked on in awe and wonder.

"The healing powers of the Ancients." Whispered Teal'c in awe as he saw the man who had been his mentor all his life brought back from the brink of death.

Jack sat back heavily as the effort of healing Bra'tac seemed to steal his strength away. Bra'tac looked at Jack in awe as he felt his wounds heal and strength return to his old body. Daniel helped Bra'tac to stand as Sam and Teal'c tended to Jack who was looking very exhausted. While his teammates looked after Jack, Daniel helped Bra'tac to set the cargo ship on a course back to Earth.

They would be cutting it close. It would take ten hours to return back to Earth and by their calculations Anubis's fleet should have already been in the Sol system for at least a couple of hours by then. As the ship came ever closer to Earth each member of Sg-1 took turns watching Jack because the Ancient knowledge had already stolen away his ability to speak and understand them.

He still moved with a purpose and intent but no one knew what his actions meant. It was apparent that the need to protect Earth was driving him and his actions, but it was painful for the other members of the team watch their leader and friend be taken over by the Ancient Knowledge losing himself and his sense of identity within it. Hours passed as each member of Sg-1 took turns watching Jack as he continued modifying the rings.

"Hey Teal'c, are these sensors working right?" Carter asked from the copilot chair.

She got up to let Teal'c take her spot so he could study the sensor returns. After a couple of minutes going through several commands and diagnostic functions Teal'c leaned back in his chair.

"It would appear that O'Neill has also modified the ship's sensors when he was working on the hyperdrive." Teal'c told Sam.

"The ship has detected several Goa'uld ships surrounding the Earth. There is also an unknown vessel detected that has positioned itself between Anubis's fleet and the Earth and appears to be fighting the enemy fleet. Moreover, there is an energy field surrounding the planet" Teal'c announced after a couple of minutes of interpreting the readings.

"How long until we arrived?" Daniel asked as he approached from the ring room with Jack behind him.

"In a couple of minutes Daniel Jackson." Teal'c answered as he got up and switched seats with Bra'tac.

"We plan on coming out of hyperspace as close as possible to the planet to avoid the enemy." Bra'tac explained the plan to Sam and Daniel as he took over the co-pilot's duties while Teal'c took over the pilot's controls.

"But what about the energy field you said was shielding the Earth, wouldn't it stop us?" Sam questioned.

All of a sudden the ship shuddered and abruptly dropped out of hyperspace about ten kilometers from Earth's atmosphere; eight kilometers short of where Teal'c and Bra'tac had planned to exit. All around the Tel'tak a fierce battle raged as the small ship shot forward heading towards the planet's southern pole dodging weapons fire from the surrounding battle. The only obstacle directly in their way was a single Ha'tak and a flight of nine death gliders.

"What happened?"Sam shouted as she picked up herself from the floor where she had been thrown by the sudden movement of the ship.

"There is an unidentified energy field that pulled us out of hyperspace earlier than was planned." Bra'tac answered while Teal'c focus on piloting the Tel'tak safely to their destination.

"Incoming gliders and a Ha'tak." he announced.

As the five people in the cargo ship peered through the forward viewpoints watching the Goa'uld forces in front of them detect the cargo ship and as they turned towards the Tel'tak a brilliant jagged beam of white light slammed into the lead glider. To Sam it looked almost a lightening bolt hitting the death glider.

To their shock the jagged beam of light continued jumping from glider to glider until all nine were connected by a web of energy. Thirty seconds later all the gliders exploded as the energy beam overload their power cells.

A melody of harmonic sounding tones seemed to fill the cargo ship that grew in strength as a large vessel passed the Tel'tak from above and behind. It glowed with bright inner light almost too intense to look directly at as it seemingly glides through space. The Goa'uld mothership started to fire upon the glowing vessel as it positioned itself to shield the ship Sg-1 was in while escorting them towards Earth.

To Sam, it was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen. The ship, if she could call it that, was built entirely from pure crystal that made it shine like a polished diamond in space. It looked to be about three-fourths the size of the Prometheus. Its shape was a long tear drop shaped crystal that had several long crystal spires sprouting from its body.

As the Ha'tak continued to pour plasma fire into the unknown ship, a large crystal spike about ten meters in length shot towards the Goa'uld vessel as arcs of white light jumped from its spires to destroy the incoming plasma fire. The crystal missile completely bypassed the Ha'tak's shields and burrowed into the hull. At first it seemed to do nothing until several crystal spikes started to break through the hull at the entry point and the Ha'tak suddenly stopped all activities as it lost power.

"By the gods." Bra'tac breathed in an awe filled whisper.

"Liberis Siderum, de Sidus Parvulus" Jack stated in an unusually awe filled voice. Daniel looked sharply at Jack when he uttered this.

"We are receiving a transmission Major Carter." Teal'c announced.

Sam walked back to the center podium control console and brought up the transmission. Between Bra'tac and Teal'c a column of text appeared, but instead of Goa'uld or Ancient it was composed of Kryptonian symbols. A few minutes later it shifted to Ancient allowing Daniel to read it.

'Lets see it reads; Proceed to your destination child of the Alterrans. The shield will be lowered to allow you passage but beware your enemies will be able to follow you. Help has been sent from the north. The House of El will keep the Goa'uld fleet at bay for as long as possible'

Daniel read out loud translating the text.

Before their eyes a sphere of energy shimmered and disappeared from around the Earth. The large crystal ship now identified as a Kryptonian vessel made a tight sharp turn as it swung away from the Tel'tak and towards the gathered Goa'uld fleet that was quickly approaching.

A large amount of plasma fire was fired towards the Tel'tak but the Kryptonian ship positioned itself as a barrier between Sg-1 and the opposing fleet with waves of white lightening sparking from its spires intercepting the incoming weapon's fire.

Behind the protection of the Kryptonian vessel, the Tel'tak raced through Earth's upper atmosphere.

Several days earlier.

Monday 3:45pm

Chloe Sullivan sat at her desk in the basement of the Daily Planet idly tapping her fingers on her armrest. She was so bored, nothing exciting ever seemed to happen anymore since Clark disappeared into his northern crystal igloo. She really wasn't complaining about the lack of life threatening situations that seemed to pop up every other week, but anything would be more exciting than reporting on the ongoing strike of Metropolis's garbage workers.

She could not wait until Lois started working here; surly her energetic cousin would bring some life to the dull basement of interns and aspiring reports. When she had first heard about Lois becoming an investigative reporter, Chloe almost laughed at the thought of it. But as time went by it became clear that this was not a passing fad for Lois.

At first her article were rough and full of amateurish mistakes and she was turned down many times by her editor. However Lois persevered and stayed the course with encouragement from the Kents. Chloe had to reluctantly admit that there was a charm about Lois's writing that drew in the reader and made them want more. That spark was what drew the attention of the editors of the Daily Planet.

Chloe was excited to work with Lois, because Chloe was sure she could count on her cousin to bring a bit of chaos with her and liven the place up. As she sat there drumming her fingers, Chloe felt a strong gust of wind enter the empty basement, her co-workers having left for a late lunch and fresh air. Chloe let out a frustrated sigh as she looked around at all of the scattered papers blown from their orderly stacks.

"Oops, didn't think that would happen." A deep male voice said behind her.

Whirling around with a gasp of shock, Chloe saw standing there her childhood friend of many years, Clark Kent. With surprising speed Chloe launched herself out of her chair towards Clark.

"Clark!"

Only with his enhanced reflexes was Clark able to brace himself against the incoming blonde missile and catch her before she knocked both of them over. He was a little surprised at her reaction, but then he remembered he had been gone for most of a year. Clark carefully returned the fierce hug Chloe was giving him. It was a couple of minutes before Chloe regained control of herself and the two broke apart.

"Clark what are you doing here?"

Chloe demanded feeling embarrassed over her display of emotion. Her curiosity burned wanting answers to questions she had been holding since they had last talked.

"What, am I not allowed to see my best friend anymore?"

He said jokingly.

Clark grinned at the glare she sent in response.

"I really mean it Clark. By the time Lex had brought me back to Smallville you had disappeared and no one knew where you went. Not even your parents knew. Then there was the whole crazy plan of Gabriel's to purge Smallville of meteor freaks by use of a nuclear missile. One minute he's trying to kidnap me, the next minute this black guy had him pinned against his car starring into Gabriel's eyes. When he let him go, Gabriel collapsed and was in a coma that took him a couple of weeks to come out of. The man said to call him John Jones and that Kal El had begun his training before disappearing."

Chloe said rapidly while tapping her foot impatiently and pinning him with her best glare. Clark had to restrain his laughter at the image Chloe presented. "I really missed her," he thought as he started to gather the papers he had scattered with his entrance.

With careful application of his speed Clark had all the scattered papers sorted and stacked in their respected piles within a couple of minutes. Looking over at his friend Clark found Chloe with a slack-jaw look of awe on her face. He realized that this was the first time he had openly used his powers in front of her.

Seeing her still in awe inspired shock Clark walked over and poked her in the forehead with his finger. Snapping out of her Clark induced shock, Chloe once again was embarrassed that she had been caught starring at her best friend. While she had known about his powers and heritage for a while, seeing him in action was a whole other ballgame.

"T-that's not fair, give a girl some warning Clark!" Chloe shouted.

"Well I was hoping you would be free. Maybe we could get a bite to eat and catch up with each other." Clark asked.

Chloe considered her options, she had already done most of her assigned work for the day and what was left she could finish at home. She decided to leave early and accept Clark's invitation. She had dearly missed her best friend and had a severe need to catch up with him.

"Sure Clark, give me a second to wrap things up here and we can go."

Chloe said as she started to gather her things and shut down her work-station.

"Sure."

Clark replied as he leaned back against one of the desk scattered around the basement level. After several minutes Chloe had done what she needed to leave early. The two friends decided on getting some Chinese take-out and Clark speeding them back to the Talon where they could talk privately. Chloe texted Lois to let her know that Clark had brought her home and not to worry about picking her up.

They talked for hours as Clark tried to answer some of Chloe's questions and describe what he had learned about the world of his birth, Krypton. The sun set beneath the horizon as the two childhood friends reconnected and renew their friendship that had been strained in the weeks leading up to the meteor shower.

Friday 12:45 pm.

Clark stood in front of the main console of the Fortress watching the sensor readings that showed the approaching Goa'uld fleet. Within a matter of minutes the vanguard for Anubis's fleet would reach the Sol system ahead of the main force by ten minutes.. Clark was nervous because he knew no matter what he did people would still die in the upcoming battle for Earth. He knew the decision before would decide the number of deaths resulting from the battle.

"My son, the time has come for you to decide how you will fight the Goa'uld."

Jor El's voice softly thundered throughout the Fortress.

"Jor El, I do not wish to kill, but I will not sacrifice the people of Earth to save the lives of the Jaffa. Is there any way I can fight the enemy and still protect the Earth?"

Clark's question echoed breaking the silence of the Fortress.

"Kal El with your training incomplete, the main power source that provides energy for the main defensive and offense systems is still locked. The fusion plants alone cannot provide sufficient power to protect the Earth. However there is an alternative source of power that can be used to temporarily bypass the restrictions and jump-start the main power plant; though, if used, will cause you great pain and suffering."

"Tell me what it is, I do not care about the cost for myself if it will save others!"

Clark shouted. Behind him a mass of crystals grew up from the floor of the Fortress and formed a throne.

"You have proven your heritage with your words my son, now prove them true with your actions. The power source I speak of is you, Kal El. For 14 of your Earth years your body has been absorbing and storing energy emitted by the yellow star Sol. The process to extract that power will be painful unlike anything you have experienced before. To start the process sit down on the throne behind you."

Clark turned around notice the new structure behind him. Walking over he stared at the chair before him Jor El's words about the pain ringing in his mind. Clark hesitated his body unwillingly freezing at the thought of pain, however thoughts of his parents, Lois, Chloe, and all of the humans he had met in his life flashed through his mind. The images of his family and friends gave Clark the needed push to sit down.

After he sat down, the crystals started to grow around his form encasing him in their grasp. The cocoon of crystals began to glow and emit a bright blue light in slow and steady pluses that were starting to speed up. Already Clark felt something pulling at him, ripping energy from his body in a way that was not natural. Pain started to fill his senses as the draw of energy increased. The only thing that kept him sane was the sound of Jor El's voice.

"Restrictions unlocked, activating main power plant. Defense systems online. Powering planetary shield emitters, Hyperspace interdiction field activated. Control link to the patrol ship established. Protocol Alpha-41 enacted. Goa'uld vanguard has entered system, activating shield."

The entire Fortress glowed a deep blue as a column of charged particles shot into the air through the atmosphere until it reached into space passing the orbits of Earth's satellites. From there it spread out forming a sphere of energy that encompassed the world.

"Kal El endure for a little longer, soon you will be released from your torment to fight the Goa'uld. Remember those under your protection, for their memory will give you the strength required to surpass this challenge."

The voice of Jor El said giving what comfort the AI of the Fortress could give to Krypton's last son. With the start of Kal El's sacrifice, the AI turned its attention towards the incoming Goa'uld fleet.

v-v-v

1:10pm.

Washington DC.

White House.

The Oval office was a place of chaos as the President and his council of generals went over the options available to them while a constant flow of aids brought updates on the status of Anubis's fleet. It had started 20 minutes ago when a Colonel from the Pentagon had interrupted the meeting with news that three Ha'tak class ships had entered the solar system near Mars.

However before the group could decide the best course of action, monitors at NORAD reported an incredible surge of energy coming from the Arctic and that an energy shield now surround the planet. The three Goa'uld motherships tried to bombard the Fifth Fleet from orbit, however the shield held firm against their attack. After ten minutes had passed the rest of Anubis's fleet appeared over Mars.

"George do you have any idea on who is projecting that shield?" Asked the President of the United State, Henry Hayes.

"I sorry mister President, I haven't a clue on who is responsible for it. However whoever it is seems to want to protect us from the Goa'uld."

Responded Major General George Hammond, the former commander of the SGC .

"See Henry, this is what I was talking about. Once again the incompetence of the military run SGC has endangered this planet."

Vice-President Robert Kinsey spat in an angry voice.

Before Hayes could respond to his Vice-President another aid came in with a message from Dr. Weir, current head of the SGC.

"Mr. President, Dr. Weir reports that since the unknown energy shield encompassed the planet the Stargate will no longer connect to the gate network. The scientist there have examined it and concluded that it is working, however in addition to the shield around the planet there is also an unidentified energy field that is jamming all wormhole activity. This also appears to be why the enemy fleet came out of hyperspace much further from the Earth than anticipated. It appears to be stopping any form of manipulating subspace. Sir."

The young woman reported.

The men in the room took in the information realizing that now they were effectively trapped and it was on Earth their forces would make the last stand against Anubis.

"Henry, I recommend we send teams to shut down the jamming field. If we don't have access to the beta site than we cannot guarantee the survival of the human race."

Kinsey argued strongly.

"Mr. President I must object, right now whoever is responsible for the shield and jamming field is clearly protecting this world from the Goa'uld fleet. We don't know that the shield would stay on if we took out the jamming field. I believe the best course of action is to ready our forces and wait for the arrival of Sg-1."

General Hammond said.

"Where is your vaulted Sg-1 General? I refuse to place all of our hopes on one team who have proven to be reckless in their actions defending this world."

Kinsey said in a snide tone of voice.

"Mr. Vice-President, I must protest. Sg-1 has proven time and time again that they have always taken the utmost care and effort to protect this world."

General Hammond argued back fiercely defending those who had been under his command.

"Gentlemen calm down! George, I have the highest regard and respect for the SGC and Sg-1. I want you to take command of the Prometheus and all of our X-303s that are ready to fight. When Sg-1 arrives, I want to be able to provide immediate cover and support until their mission is complete."

Hayes said interrupting the two before it turned into an all out argument.

Seeing his Vice-President face start to turn red in anger, Hayes turned his attention to Kinsey.

"Robert, Shut up. I will not let your obvious dislike of Sg-1 and desire to save your own hide jeopardize this nation's only chance of survival."

The President said in a serious voice.

Before Kinsey could shake off his shock a new person appeared in the Oval Office. Secret Service agents in the room sprung into action covering the President and riddling the newcomer with bullets. To their shock and horror the bulltes passed through the dark figure like a stone cast into a still pond. The unknown figure was clothed in a black robes that had a metallic sheen to it. A heavy hood covered its head obscuring view of its face.

"Stop firing! It's just a hologram."

Lieutenant General Sam Lane ordered. The agents lowered their guns, but did not relax their guard.

"I am Anubis. Surrender and bow before your god."

The person said grandly in a deep voice. Hayes walked around the agents standing protectively in front of him so he could get a clear look at their enemy.

"Why should we obey you? Nothing you have can penetrate our shield. However I am willing to accept your surrender."

Hayes bluffed as he stood straight and firm in front of Anubis.

"You are this world's leader?"

Anubis questioned focusing on the President.

"Henry Hayes, President of the United States, one nation among many."

Hayes replied proudly.

"If you had the ability to strike my fleet down, you would have done so. Do not think that just because you have manage to activate a shield of the Ancients that you will be safe. In time my fleet will tear down the barrier you have hidden behind and I will burn this world from east to west. I will make this planet lifeless as an example to all of the fate of those who dared to defy their god."

"That shall not come to pass!"

A loud firm voice thundered out of nowhere in the Oval Office surprising everyone.

As the Secret Service agents looked for the source of the voice the holographic projection of Anubis wavered and disappeared. One by one the President and each of the generals were encased in a pillar of white light. The agents tried to free their charge even as Kinsey looked on in shock at what happened, thankful he wasn't included.

v-v-v

Henry Hayes saw a flash of light and found himself in a pitch black place. Several more flashes of light and he was joined by his generals. Even though it was pitch black each person could clearly see the other around him. One last flash revealed Anubus had joined them. However unlike the humans, he was clearly angry and upset.

"Release me or face my wrath!"

Anubis shouted into the void they were in.

As if in answer to the Goa'uld's shouts, three rivers of colored light came rushing towards them. The red, blue, and yellow streams of light, each sixty degrees from the other, rose up and clashed over the heads of the people there. There the three entwined together and ascended into the black sky. To Hayes it kinda look like a tornado if you turned it upside down.

"You have no authority here Goa'uld. The Earth and those on it are a protectorate of the House of El. If you have not left by the time the people of Earth are ready to strike back, you will face the strength of Kal El."

The vortex of light pulsed white with each word spoken. The same voice from earlier thundered from all around them.

"I am a god! None of your methods of punishment can harm me. If you had the ability to destroy me, why have you not already?"

Anubis declared even as he questioned the unknown voice.

"Do not think that your partially ascended form will make you immune from the reach of Kryptonian justice. Leave the Sol system or face the destruction of your forces. It is only because of the compassion of Kal El that your fleet was not struck down when you entered Sol."

With a cry of outrage Anubis vanished in a burst of light. The remaining humans were shocked at the exchange they had just overheard. Only Hammond who had read the latest of Sg-1's reports knew the significant of the words Krypton and Kal El. He knew very well that for the last month a lot time and effort had been spent searching all the worlds they knew of for evidence of Kal El. To think he had been on Earth all along amazed Hammond.

A large holographic projection of Earth appear in the front of the group of humans. Around the planet one could see each of the Goa'uld ships firing into a hazy field that represented the shield. One could even see groups of Al'kesh and Death Gliders as they flew between each mothership.

"General Hammond, the cargo ship bearing the group called Sg-1 will enter Earth's orbit in two of your hours. When they arrive the energy shield around the planet will have to be lowered to let them through. Once deactivated it can not be raised again. A Kryptonian warship will occupy the enemy fleet for as long as possible. However to ensure the reactivation of the Alterran outpost by your team you will need to move your forces to the following location. If allowed I will transport you to your vessel to expedite your preparations."

As the voice spoke the projection showed the location of the Prometheus's hanger and a route across the globe to where Sg-1 would be going when they reached Earth.

"May I ask who you are?"

Hammond asked since the voice had address him.

"I am an artificial facsimile of the Kryptonian scientist Jor El. Caretaker of the Fortress and guide to Kal El, last son of Krypton. Will you allow yourself to be transported?"

Hammond looked to the President to receive his input.

"Go right ahead George if you think we can trust him."

Hayes said in response to Hammond inquiring look.

"Thank you sir. I am ready to be transported."

Hammond said bracing himself.

"A few minutes after you have been release from this pocket dimension you will be transported to where your warship resides. At a later date in time you will be contacted about your possession of the Kryptonian woman and your attempts to access a Fortress on the world of Vanque."

Jor El's thundered around them.

The streams of light suddenly vanished and everyone disappeared in a flash of light.

v-v-v

Back in the Oval Office the President and the generals that had been encased in pillars of light were unexpectedly released from their constraints. The other people in the room rushed the men who had been imprisoned, most of them having fallen down from the abruptness of the release. President Hayes waved away the concerned agents who were crowding to get a breath of air. He looked around and saw that his generals were also suffering similar effects of vertigo and disorientation that he had.

"Hammond! What the hell was that? You seemed to know more than the rest of us."

The gruff voice of Sam Lane questioned as he shook of the his disorientation.

"I take that you all have are not up to date on Sg-1's mission reports?"

Hammond questioned.

"Sorry George, but there hasn't been time to go over every report in detail, most of the gentlemen here learned about the program the same time I did."

Hayes answered him.

Getting confirmation from the others George explained.

"A couple of months ago Sg-1 investigated a world the Ancients had hidden from the Goa'uld. There they found the Ancients had been studying a race from a world called Krypton. Upon further searching there was evidence that a Kryptonian called Kal El was sent to our galaxy to escape his race's destruction. Since then we had been searching multiple planets for signs of this Kal El in hopes of making an alliance with him. Last I had heard, Earth was the next on the list complied from the clues we had been given."

The other generals in the room accepted this explanation. Seeing some of them where wary of a powerful Alien presence on Earth without knowledge or permission of the government Hammond sought to ease their concern.

"Mr. President I must impress on the need to tread careful with the Kryptonians. All of the knowledge we have obtained on them showed that they are an extremely powerful race; However, that same knowledge some that they were also a benevolent and peaceful race. It would be in our best interest to treat any help from the Kryptonians as help from an ally until this crisis is over."

Hammond said urgently aware that he would soon be transported to the Prometheus by Jor El.

"Alright George, for the moment we give them the benefit of doubt."

Hayes said after a couple of minutes of weighing what he friend had said.

"Thank you Mr. President."

Hammond said. He stood up from the chair he sat in and braced himself for he's upcoming transportation. The others in the looked at him weirdly until a flash of blue light encompassed him and faded away leaving nothing. Hayes looked around at the look of shock and horror on the faces of those who had not heard Jor El's offer. He clapped his hands a couple of times to everyone's attention.

"Well, all that can be done the moment to fight the Goa'uld has been done. While we are waiting to hear the results gentleman, lets starting make plans for any potential fallout of the aftermath."

Hayes said getting his command staff back on track. He offered a silent payer for those going into battle and hoped that the men and women he had just committed to battle would return whole and unharmed.


Chapter 4 done.

I decided to split the battle into two chapters. So I am post this earlier for the followers instead of waiting for the other half to be written. I hope to have the next chapter up within the next couple weeks. Have the flow of battle imagined and mapped out, just need to translated it to text.

I am working on all of my stories except for Protector & Dragon. That is on hiatus until I can recreate my notes for it. Lost them awhile back when replacing my hard drive.
