Chapter 4

New Masters

He caught her as she fell out of the stasis chamber. The memories of Galen's battle with her left him with a strong sense of guilt. She stirred and her eyes opened. Her eyes were filled with a kind wisdom that seemed to calm him down.

"Master Shaak Ti, how are you feeling?" He asked.

"I am fine, young one." She replied before seeming to stare through him. "You seem familiar. I believe we have met before."

"I may seem familiar, Master, but you haven't met me. I wore the costume of the one who killed you. The abilities I have are because of a spell." Xander said trying not to be nervous. "My name is Xander."

Shaak Ti nodded her head and had Xander help her to her feet. A panel opened up to reveal a set of brown Jedi robes and her lightsaber which she donned.

"I do not hold it against you nor do I hold it against him. He was a slave of Vader at the time. Tell me, did he ever realize the truth?" Shaak Ti said.

"He did and formed a rebellion that ended up defeating the Empire even though he sacrificed himself to save the Rebellion." Xander explained. "If we get back to Earth, I can show you the trilogy."

"I would like that." Shaak Ti replied. "Though you may have his experience and abilities, I would like to take you as my Padawan. Wisdom is something you need, Xander, and I believe I can help you with that."

"Thank you, Master." Xander said. "I think I sense a village some distance away."

"I sense it also." Shaak Ti said. "I also sense a tinge of the Dark Side there as well. We should move quickly."

The two Jedi exited the mountain facility and began to walk in the direction of the village. After a short distance, Shaak Ti looked over at her new apprentice.

"Tell me, Xander. What were you doing before you got here?" She asked him.

"One of the side effects of the spell turned a vampire into a Sith or at least she calls herself a Sith." Xander informed her. "She calls herself Darth Lividous."

"What is a vampire?" Shaak Ti asked. "I sense much hatred from you in regards to them. Do not let it be your undoing."

"A vampire is a demon in human form that feeds on blood. Most of the time, they hunt down humans to feed upon killing them but sometimes they turn the human into a vampire as well." He explained.

"You lost someone close to you to one, didn't you." She said knowing it was the truth.

"My brother in all ways but blood. I was the one who staked him." He answered her.

"I see and you feel guilty because of it." Shaak Ti said.

"It's because I found out that another vampire in town had been cursed with his soul so I might have been able to have him back." Xander replied.

"Do not feel guilty. The cursed vampire's existence must have brought him great torment for what he had done." Shaak Ti said trying to soothe his feelings of guilt. "Would you have wanted your friend to feel the same torment?"

"You're right, Master." Xander said realizing the truth. "I wouldn't have wanted Jesse to suffer."

General George Hammond poured the whiskey into the glass before draining the contents of the glass. He should have realized that this was only a situation that his front line team could have gotten into but it was still unbelievable.

"You mean to tell me that you fought Darth Vader and Imperial Stormtroopers last night." Hammond said. "Then, the young man who fought Vader disappeared in a subspace distortion along with a vampire woman who somehow can be called Darth Lividous."

"I know sounds a little odd, sir." O'Neill replied.

"A little odd, O'Neill." Hammond exclaimed. "How in the Sam Hill am I going to explain this?"

"I don't know and I'm glad I don't have to." O'Neill replied. "What concerns me is what she said? She said she was going to get the Army of Sokar put under her command which means she's going after Apophis."

"Unscheduled Off-World Activation!"

Hammond and O'Neill went to the control room where the technician at the controls had already had the iris closed. The technician looked over at one of the computer screens.

"It's Bra'tac's IDC." The technician said.

"Open the iris." Hammond ordered as O'Neill went down to the gate room to meet the elder Jaffa.

Bra'tac came through the Stargate with a look on his face that worried O'Neill. The elder Jaffa had been through a great many battles but the Jaffa who could be described as Teal'c's personal Obi-Wan Kenobi had a concerned look on his face.

"Bra'tac, what's troubling you?" O'Neill asked.

"A great many things, O'Neill, but the first is that Apophis has been killed by a being known as..." Bra'tac said before O'Neill did something he rarely did.

"Please do not tell me her name is Darth Lividous." O'Neill told the Jaffa almost pleadingly.

"Yes, how did you know?" He asked. "The title 'Darth' though reminds me of the Tales of the Galactic Civil War that Teal'c has shown me the last time I was here."

"We've just had our own encounter with her." O'Neill informed his friend. "Not a pleasant experience."

Samantha Carter walked into the infirmary carrying three things. Two of the things were vials that contained samples of Xander's blood. One sample was supposedly before Halloween and the other sample she had taken when he had been found unconscious. She had speculated something had changed the seventeen year old but she wasn't sure how. The third item she carried was his file. She found it rather odd to find out that he was adopted and wondered if they found no difference if it might have been a genetic ability passed down from his real parents. Carter saw a cluster of papers on Janet's desk and against her better judgement, she decided to sneak a peek. A photograph fell out of a folder on the doctor's desk and Carter could only stare in disbelief as her friend walked into the infirmary.

"Sam, what's wrong?" Janet asked.

Carter grabbed the photo of Xander off of her friend's desk. "How do you know Xander?" She asked.

Janet seemed to sink into her chair as she took the picture away from her friend. Her body language seemed to scream regret.

"His father's name was Michael Sullivan and I was in love. I was nine months pregnant when Michael and I were struck by a drunk driver. Michael was killed instantly." Janet said tearing up. "When I regained consciousness, my parents told me that I had lost my baby as well as Michael. I didn't find out until after their deaths last year that they had lied to me. The doctors had performed a Caesarean section to deliver him. I was told it was a scar from the crash. They just gave him up for adoption not even giving me a chance to see if I'd live or die. I never got to hold him."

"Are you sure he's your son?" Carter asked her friend tenderly.

"Without running the necessary tests, I'm not sure." Janet replied. "I'd need blood."

Carter produced the two vials and Janet's eyes widened in surprise.

"How long will the tests take?" She asked.

A few hours later, General Hammond called for a briefing to discuss the current situation. He was slightly curious as to why Doctor Frasier was there but Carter had told him it was important. They began to discuss what had occurred in Sunnydale when Carter decided to focus the conversation on Xander.

"Sir, the reason that Doctor Frasier is here is because I had her run a genetic test on a sample of Xander's blood. The people who raised him were his adopted parents." Carter explained.

"Do you think that his 'Jedi' abilities may have been passed down from his biological parents?" Daniel asked.

"I doubt it." Carter replied.

"Why?" O'Neill asked.

"Because I haven't choked you to death with the Force." Janet answered O'Neill to the astonishment of those in the conference room save for herself and Samantha.

"He's your son?" Daniel asked in disbelief.

Janet retold her story to the group who solemnly listened. When she was done, she had a question of her own.

"What is this about him having 'Jedi' abilities?" She asked. "Is that suppose to be a joke?"

"It is no joke, Doctor Frasier. Your son is a powerful Jedi." Teal'c responded.

"Xander, as he likes to be called, retained his abilities to use the Force." Daniel answered her. "He disappeared along with Darth Lividous in the subspace distortions that she created."

"Since she is still alive, he must be as well." Bra'tac reasoned. "If this is true, I would like to meet him as soon as I can."

"So would I." She replied softly smiling. "I can't seem to have a normal kid, can I?"

Lividous walked away from the Stargate and headed towards the sense of burning hatred that was being radiated in the Force. There was someone on this planet that was extremely gifted and was already on the path of the Dark Side. She walked towards a group of four human men who were torturing a reptilian creature called an Unas. The human men were hitting the Unas male with weapons which made light come out of the Unas' mouth. Her senses were telling her the tortured Unas was the Force-Sensitive. The man with the pain stick was surprised to see her walking towards them.

"Lady, just disciplining an animal." He told her hoping she'd go away.

"Funny, that's what I had planned to do." She said activating her lightsaber.

She chopped the end of the pain stick off with practice as well as the man's hands. The group torturing the man found themselves flat on the ground as the chains of the Unas were broken and used against them by her manipulation. The Unas stared at her wondering what she was.

"I am Darth Lividous, Dark Lady of the Sith." She said to the group before turning her attention towards the Unas. "You have a great power within you. I would like to train you in its use. Now, show me your rage and enact your vengeance upon them." She shifted to her game face. "But leave me one, I'm a little hungry."

The Unas turned to glare at the man who had been using the pain stick on him. He picked up the broken weapon and began to bludgeon the man with it enjoying the screams he was receiving from the man. He then plunged the broken tip of the weapon into the man's stomach twisting the weapon as it went in. The second man had a similarly cruel fate as the Unas took a page out of a Wookie's handbook tearing the man's arms off and beating the man to death with his own limbs. Lividous smiled at her potential apprentice's creativity as the man tore the right leg off the third man only to use the shattered bone to stab the man in the heart. The Unas dragged the final man over to her. She could smell his fear and it tasted good. Lividous ran a hand across his cheek.

"It'll be over soon." She said before sinking her teeth into the man's neck draining him of his blood.

This seemed to earn her the respect of the Unas who appeared to be smiling at her. He appeared to be interested in what she could do.

"You could feel it, couldn't you, when I used the Force?" She asked the reptile. "You can be taught to use it as well. With my training, you will be a powerful Sith Lord. If you want me to train you, then follow me."

She turned around and walked back in the direction of the Stargate. A grin crossed her face as she sensed her apprentice was following behind her.

Dawn reached over to grab the holocron but a ghostly white hand appeared in front of her. Her eyes widened and she looked to see who it belonged to. She recognized the Force Ghost immediately.

"Angel, that is you isn't it?" She asked.

"Yah, Dawn. It's me." Angel replied. "Trust me, you don't want to touch that holocron."

"Why not?" She asked.

"It was the holocron of a Dark Jedi named Krylon McKan. If you tried to pick it up, it would have downloaded its contents into your mind." Angel explained. "You would have either had complete training in the Dark Jedi arts or your brain would have been reduced to Jell-O."

"So, not good." Dawn replied. "Why are you here?"

"You need training and Xander is kinda busy with something very important. You'll find out later what's going on." Angel explained. "I'm being allowed to train you if you want me to. Darth Vader use to be Anakin Skywalker and I have his memories because of the spell."

"Okay." Dawn replied.

"Alright, Padawan." Angel said. "Hope you give me less trouble than Ahsoka gave Anakin."

Colonel Richard Head, leader of SG-5, sat in the Goa'uld cell along with his team. He was a tall tanned man with red hair who hated his name. His hatred for his name didn't form until he joined the SGC when he had met Colonel Jack O'Neill who managed to get away with calling him Colonel Dick Head. Of course, the name stuck to him like glue and everyone called him Colonel Dick Head. His second-in-command, Major Harold Jordan, was often mistaken for a Jaffa because of his build and he was dark-skinned. Harold was also referred to as GL for a few obvious reasons. The rest of his team had been killed in the Jaffa ambush and the Goa'uld in charge of this planet didn't bother to bring them back to torture them. Part of him was sad that they were gone but there was also a part of him that was happy that they weren't going to suffer like they were going to.

"You know, Colonel, I was suppose to watch the Star Wars trilogy with my son this weekend." Harold said to him. "I can almost hear a lightsaber just thinking about it."

Richard nodded with his friend as he thought he could hear a lightsaber also. Then, he heard a staff weapon fire and what sounded like it being reflected back at its owner.

"GL, are you hearing what I'm hearing?" Richard asked trying to see if he was hallucinating.

"If you're hearing a lightsaber, then I hearing a lightsaber as well." Harold replied.

"You know what this means, don't you?" Richard asked.

"We're going to win the pool." Harold said smiling.

"Provided we can get back to Earth." Richard replied.

A blue beam of energy sliced through the bars of their cell and they stepped out to see their orange-skinned savior. The Jedi, they were hoping a Light-Side Jedi, seemed to be female and despite the predator sharp teeth, seemed to have a grandmother-like feeling to her. Richard and Harold felt like they could trust her.

"Thank you, ma'am." Richard said. "I'm Colonel Richard Head. My friend is Major Harold Jordan."

"I am Jedi Master Shaak Ti." She said as she seemed to scan the area. "My Padawan will be arriving shortly with your gear."

Almost on cue, a white robed male human walked up from behind them with two bundles. He handed the bundles to the two men. Shaak Ti smiled at her apprentice.

"Did you have any trouble?" She asked.

"Just a Dark Side creature by the name of Cronus. He seemed adamant about not letting me have these bundles, Master." He answered.

"This is my apprentice, Xander Harris." Shaak Ti said introducing him. "These two men are Colonel Richard Head and Major Harold Jordan."

"Hi, I kind of stirred up this little anthill when I killed that guy." Xander said looking slightly amused.

"KREE!" A Jaffa yelled bringing his staff weapon up to fire.

Xander ignited his blue-bladed lightsaber to deflect the staff weapon blast back at the attacker who caught the blast in his chest. The teenage Jedi smirked and glanced back at his Master.

"Master, I do believe we outstayed our welcome." Xander said causing the two Air Force officers to smile.

"Then, I believe we should leave." Shaak Ti replied.

The odd quartet made their way out of the temple Throughout the time it took to reach the Stargate, Richard could have sworn that he heard Harold humming the Star Wars theme.

"Unscheduled Off-World Activation!"

Hammond, the members of SG-1, Bra'tac, and Doctor Frasier left the conference room still stunned from the little revelation from Doctor Frasier. The technician glanced over at a computer monitor to see "SG-5" scroll across the screen.

"They aren't due back for a couple of days." Hammond stated. "Open the iris."

"It'll be good to see Colonel Dick Head again." O'Neill joked.

"O'Neill, why do you refer to Colonel Head in a derogatory manner?" Teal'c asked.

"I'm just razzing the guy." O'Neill replied.

Four figures stepped through the gate but two of them didn't belong to SG-5. O'Neill could see Head and Jordan but he had two robed figures with him. The gate room guards still had their weapons pointed at the two figures and O'Neill began to wonder if it was who he was thinking of.

"Stand down!" Head exclaimed to the guards.

"Trust him, don't want to piss off Ti." Jordan replied.

The two figures lowered their hoods and O'Neill couldn't believe who he saw. It wasn't the alien woman that had surprised him. It was the fact that Xander somehow got back to Earth this quickly. O'Neill grabbed the microphone.

"Xander!" He exclaimed trying to get the young Jedi's attention.

Xander swivelled around and smiled when he saw SG-1 in the control room. He waved up at them.

"O'Neill, so this is where you work." Xander replied as Colonel Head and Major Jordan began to shake their heads.

"Damn it!" The two Air Force officers exclaimed.

"Report to the infirmary." Hammond ordered.

Xander and the mysterious alien woman followed SG-5 out of the gate room and Daniel seemed a bit perplexed.

"Who is she?" Daniel asked.

"She moves like a seasoned warrior." Bra'tac commented.

"Xander Harris seems to trust her." Teal'c said noticing how Xander had followed her. "Could she be a Jedi Master?"

"Why don't we ask them?" O'Neill suggested.

The small group walked down to the infirmary to see the other doctors were checking the condition of the two remaining members of SG-5. Xander and the alien woman didn't seem to have been harmed. Hammond decided to turn his attention to the men under his command.

"What happened?" He asked.

"We were ambushed, sir." Colonel Head replied. "A Jaffa patrol got the jump on us and Lieutenant Alvarez and Captain Peterson were killed. We were brought back to Cronus's temple to be tortured. We were in our cell when Jedi Master Shaak Ti rescued us. Her Padawan had killed Cronus and we escaped back here."

"How in the hell did you get to that planet, Xander?" O'Neill asked the teenage Jedi.

"I think it was that storm that Darth Lividous created." Xander answered. "It must have transported me there."

"Why don't we let Colonel Head and Major Jordan get checked out by the doctors and continue this in the conference room?" Hammond suggested. "There's something that we need to discuss."

They returned to the conference room and O'Neill noticed the way Teal'c looked at Shaak Ti. It was the same look of respect that his best friend gave to Bra'tac. Xander had sat down next to Shaak Ti. The older alien woman seemed to have a grandmother-like feeling to her which was rather soothing. Frasier seemed a bit nervous which was understandable considering what they knew.

"Lividous has taken control of the Army of Sokar." Hammond said to the two Jedi.

"How bad is that?" Xander asked.

"It isn't good. Sokar's forces were vast when Apophis took them over and they are a formidable force." Teal'c replied.

"Crap." Xander said.

"There is also something else we need to discuss. Did you know that the Harris' were not your biological parents." Hammond said to the young man.

"No, why is this important?" Xander asked.

"We found out the identity of your biological mother." Hammond said before he noticed Xander lowering his head.

Xander raised his head up to look at Janet. "It's you, isn't it." He said.

Janet nodded her head. "I was pregnant with you and I was with your father when we were hit by a drunk driver. He was killed instantly and my parents told me that I lost you in the crash." She explained.

They noticed Xander began to tense up but Shaak Ti placed a hand on his shoulder. The older Jedi's presence seemed to soothe the young man.

"Your anger is misplaced, my Padawan." Shaak Ti said. "Do not let it control you."

"I know, Master." Xander replied.

"It does not help that you are tired." Shaak Ti said. "You need your rest. General Hammond, is there somewhere where my Padawan may rest."

"I'll have an airman take him to guest quarters." Hammond said before summoning a soldier to escort the younger Jedi away.

Once Xander left, Janet lowered her head and began to cry. Samantha was concerned for her friend.

"What's wrong, Janet?" She asked.

"Xander, he hates me." Janet replied.

"He does not hate you, Doctor Frasier." Shaak Ti said. "His childhood was not pleasant for him. He also grew up in an area saturated with Dark Side energy. It is remarkable that his character is strong."

"But his anger..." Janet began to say before Shaak Ti raised a hand.

"Wasn't directed towards you but rather those responsible for keeping the two of you separate." Shaak Ti told her looking a bit tired. "I could use some sleep as well."

"I'll have someone escort you to guest quarters." Hammond told her.

"Thank you, General." She said.

Once she was gone, Hammond turned his attention to the people still in the conference room.

"So, what do you think?" He asked.

"Does anyone have the feeling that Shaak Ti would be right at home in a kitchen baking chocolate chip cookies for her grandkids?" O'Neill asked.

"I thought so too." Samantha replied. "She just has feels like a grandmother."

"She is clearly a seasoned warrior." Teal'c said. "I believe we will benefit greatly from her presence."

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

Bries waited by the Chappa'ai for his mistress to return. He was surprised to see the Unas was following and he raised his staff weapon to defend her but she raised her hand to stay his. She smiled.

"Do not worry, Bries." Lividous said. "This is my apprentice, Darth Gojira."

Darth Gojira hissed at him and Bries took a step back. He realized what Lividous had meant by apprentice. It meant that this creature had the same terrifying powers that she herself had and was going to train the creature.

"Come, my apprentice." She said. "We have work to do."
