"I attacked the bloomin American Military!"
"What …What! Are American MUGGLES doing with a gateway that can send people to other Worlds?! And how does my toughing that bloody Mirror tie into this.
Before he could speculate any further be heard an explosion followed by the peel of automatic gun fire. Harry was on his feet in a second. The soldiers were taking up what looked like defensive positions near the ring. A ball of energy flew towards them, but missed and hit the ground near by kicking up dirt.
Harry followed the direction of the blasts to the source. A group of men dressed in a strange armor and carrying staves were coming out from among the trees and just entering the clearing. One of the attackers was wearing a different shade of armor.
Probably the leader or something, Harry thought. He was barking out orders in a language Harry couldn't understand and wore a helmet that looked like a giant snakes head.
Harry watched as he pointed his staff at the soldiers and shout an energy blast at them. This time it found its mark and one of the soldiers yelled out in pain, falling to the ground.
He had to do something. He couldn't just stand here when he could help. He may not know who these others were but the fact that they had been the ones to attack, their leader was sporting a snake symbol, and that they were trying to kill what might be his only ticket back were not putting them on his good list.
Harry quickly made his way back to the stone platform making sure to stay out of the line of fire. He would have to take off his invisibility cloak if he truly wanted to be of any use.
It wasn't the easiest thing to maneuver in, and maneuverability was important in a fight. He also wouldn't be able to do much with his wand with the restraint of the cloak, and that was what mattered the most right now.
He heard one of the soldiers yell something over the fire about 'getting out of here' and he emphatically agreed. He noticed a couple of them were trying to get to the giant metal mushroom thing but their attackers seemed determined to keep them away from it.
That over grown toadstool must be connected to the ring and getting us back some how, but there is no way they'll be able to get near it with all that enemy fire.
Harry quickly cast the strongest shield he could over the area using Protego. Then waited a second to see if it would be sufficient to stop what ever they where throwing at them. He didn't have to wait long.
A red ball of energy flew towards them. Then it slammed into an invisible barrier and diffused in mid-air across its surface, to the surprise of both the soldiers and their attackers.
Harry took his chance, pushing back his hood and shrugging the edges of his cloak over his shoulders. The cloak still hung down his back by the clasp at his neck, but he was now clearly visible.
He stepped forward attracting attention to himself as he raised his wand. He was sure he had weapons trained on him from both sides though none of the soldiers fired on him. The same could not be said for the armored men however. At least three blasts, clearly aimed at him, hit his shield but it held.
Harry immediately started casting the Impediment Jinx on the closest attackers. The unexpected destraction had given one of the soldiers enough time to get to the mushroom and Harry saw that the lights on the ring were turning on.
As the last on lit, the ring was once again filled with what looked like a shimmering liquid.
The soldier that had been hit was being helped to the ring and Harry could see blood running down his leg were the blast must have hit. Likewise the other soldiers were making a hasty retreat and he figured it was time to become inconspicuous again.
He pulled his cloak over his shoulders and lifted the hood over head. The last soldier, the one he had hear speak before he went through the ring he realized, was standing just outside the ring looking in his direction.
He stood there for a second before going through. Harry quickly followed running up and across the stone platform and through the ring.
At the SGC/Earth
"Unauthorized Off World Activation"
"Oh, for cryin' out loud!" (I love that, it's like a Jack idiom.) Jack said making his way into the gate control room. They still hadn't found mini-Daniel and now this.
"Its SG5 sir"
"What? They just left, open the iris." Said General Hammond
At that moment SG5 started exiting the gate.
"Looks like they ran into some trouble." Carter said seeing one of the team being helped down the ramp.
General Hammond along with SG1 went down to the gate room.
"What happened?" asked Hammond as they entered.
"We were ambushed sir. Don't know if we would have made it back at all if that kid hadn't shown up." Said Lt Marsh the leader of SG5
This got their attention. "What exactly did this 'kid' look like?" Asked Hammond. Surely it couldn't be the same one they were looking fore.
"Well he was in his mid-teens I'd say with dark hair, glasses, and wearing what looked like robes and a cloak."
"Did he have a stick with him, a kind of energy weapon." Asked Carter
"Yes mama" he said a bit confused. "You know him?"
"We've met," said Jack "but how is Earths name did he get through the gate."
"There was no one else in the gate room when they left." Said Hammond
"What? Are you saying he traveled with us?" said the leader of SG5.
"If he's who we think then yes." Said Carter
"Well perhaps he was invisible." Suggested Lt Marsh
"What do you mean invisible" said Jack in a tone that indicated he wasn't sure he actually wanted an answer.
"I don't know how he did it. I think it may have to do with that cloak he was wearing. He came out of no where and as I was about to go through the gat I saw him vanish again."
"Is there any chance he followed you back." Asked Carter.
"I guess its possible"
"Carter?" said Jack noticing her inquisitive look change to one of surprise
"Sir, he's in here. I can sense him" she said.
"I agree with Carter there is indeed a presence here." Spoke Teal'c for the first time.
AN: I can't believe it. Here I thought that no one was giving me any reviews and that none of the stories I have author alerts for were updating and they had. Some how my review and author alerts got turned off. I know they were one because I received reviews in the past. WHAT HAPPENED?! Oh well, its working now. Oops I think while trying to post this I might have, kind of, replaced the prologe. Hope not.
Ash- Yes hint hint, I get it, but I don't know how long until I return to Daniel. The next chapter or two will probably be mostly Harry at SG1 but may be I could put a Daniel scene in there.
ATTENTION ALL READERS
I am always open to suggestions and of course review. If there is something you would like to see happen in this story let me know and I'll see if I can fit it in. Even if it doesn't make sense with the rest of the story I'd like to hear it. Who knows your suggestion may be the inspiration my muse needs.
