This is a crossover between StarGate SG-1, StarWars, StarTrek, StarCraft, Warhammer 40K, Farscape and other sci-fi series. I don't own anything from the sci-fi series I write about. I am just writing it for fun.

john777: Well, McKay's plan is a danger to the Emperor but he alreadys know about it. He will do something about the problem. And, yes, Amanda Tapping and Gillian Anderson are hot, but Amanda seemed to have lost some of her youthful looks and bodyshape since the birth of her child.
TitanX: Thank you! I hope I can continue to write like this.
FULLMETAL: Have a look at Warhammer 40k, as our God Emperor will attempt to create an Imperium very much like the Imperium of Man... intentionally. As for the not-so-innocent kiss, I don't think it will work out that the humans would notice it this early... it will hang around for a while.
arewin: Take a sample of her DNA that way... nice thinking but not like that...
Sero Dace: I know that my writing has to improve... especially the format of the dialogues and stuff, but if you keep pointing at the mistakes, I am sure I can fix them and learn to improve my writing even more. Thanks for the constructive critique!
Do not forget that writers are filled with pride and the will to contiue writing when they see the feedback! More reviews and comments, please! I need them... and don't forget to point out my mistakes as well...
Sorry for not updating often... I am trying to get a job and I had to move house... I am in my new place, and it has internet... but that does not mean I can upload what I haven't wrote yet. Just hang in there and I will continue writing! Oh, I have decided to make each chapter average of 2500...
Chapter 21
Grazak sat on a golden throne with tall back located five steps below the Crystal Throne of the God Emperor. In front of him was a large crystal table stacked with papers. He was busy reading and signing the papers when the device on his left wrist beeped. He looked up and pressed a small button on the device.
"What is it?"
~Lord Grazak, three Ha'tak vessels just appeared at the edge of the system.~
"Whose Ha'taks are they?"
~The marking indicate that each of the Ha'taks belong to minor Goa'ulds.~
"Minor Goa'ulds?"
~Yes, sir. They were in service to Lord Ba'al just as Doruan was.~
"Ah… send our Ha'tak to intercept them. If they are hostile, capture the ships and liberate the Jaffa. Then kill the Goa'uld."
~If they are not hostile?~
"Then call me."
~Yes, lord Grazak.~

Landry sat down on his chair and looked around at the SG-1, minus Ryac, who was just cleared for active duty by Dr Lam. Landry spoke first.
"Firstly, welcome back, SG-1. Despite taken as hostages, you returned unharmed, and be that as may, this 'God Emperor' guy seems to want us to know that he will deal fairly with us."
Daniel agreed.
"Yes, sir. We were well treated and we were not tortured. It was rather strange until we confirmed who he was."
Landry looked at SG-1 hard. Then everyone realised that what the general said was a poor attempt at sarcasm. Mitchell took the lead to defuse the general's anger.
"Well, sir, we didn't return quite empty handed. We have confirmed that the 'God Emperor' is in fact Dr Leed from another dimension, and that he commands replicators."
Vala chimed in.
"He is using the replicators to hoard incredible amount of naquadah, gold and whatever treasure from the depth of the planet."
She was almost drooling. Daniel sighed and spoke.
"We also know that he is building a ship. At least one ship… General, do you remember the report on the final destruction of Apophis, and about his flagship?"
Landry paused for a moment then nodded.
"Yes, I think the report told me that Apophis built a new flagship capable of destroying Ha'taks with ease."
"Yes, sir. This 'God Emperor' is building a ship like that, sir. Almost the same design."
Landry groaned.
"It seems that in dealing with this man, we have been making one mistake after another."
Mitchell comforted the general.
"Sir, at least we know he is not a Goa'uld. A Goa'uld would never act like that, sir."
"Then, tell me Mitchell, what is his goal? Is he an enemy or a potential enemy or what? Will be become a threat greater than the Goa'uld or the Ori? How would the Jaffa react to this? People, we don't know anything about him. We need to know more."
Hailey was becoming curious.
"How, sir? We've been captured in trying to infiltrate his palace, and he has virtually no ties to anyone."
At that moment, a revelation struck Daniel.
"I got it!"
Everyone looked at him.
"Well, look at it this way… he has no ties to anyone in his reality or dimension because he is from another dimension. We cannot be sure of anything except that he is Kevin Leed, same as Dr Leed at Area 51!"
Vala looked confused.
"So?"
"So, we have someone who can predict and imagine things he can. Dr Leed is virtually same person, isn't he? As far as we know, the alternate dimensions and realities are very similar to each other."
Mitchell nodded.
"I think that has merits. This Dr Leed obviously has clearance. Why don't we invite him to SGC and try to figure out what his evil twin will be up to."
Landry agreed.
"I'll make the call. Now, Lt Hailey, you said you have something?"
Hailey nodded.
"Yes, general. This is what I could download from the console at the dry dock."
She pressed few keys on a device and a hologram, of the dry dock and the ship inside, appeared in the middle of the conference table. The hologram showed eight red dots around the dry dock. Hailey began to explain.
"This dry dock is almost consistent with the traditional Goa'uld design, except for a few things. The most important part is the red dots."
Mitchell and Landry braced themselves for technobabble speech but they were surprised at what she actually said.
"They are Asgard beaming device emitters."
Daniel frowned in surprise.
"Asgard beams?"
"Yes, Dr Jackson."
"Please, just Daniel."
"Yes, Daniel. These red dots are Asgard beams used to create, recreate and assemble the ship's structures. Upon some research, the Asgard did use the technology in similar way, but not like this. From the schematics and the readings, these emitters convert raw materials and simply beam them on. Even the scaffolds were directed beamed. Thanks to the emitters, the ship has no welding points and the issue of structural integrity is not even in question."
Vala looked uninterested.
"So what if he can use Asgard beam. We know he has them."
Hailey's smile dropped a little before she continued on.
"The thing is, that this is not possible if he did not have the Asgard core and the rest of the beaming technology."
Mitchell asked.
"What do mean 'rest of the beaming technology'?"
"What Ba'al and Anubis had the emitters and they could only transport objects from one place to another, but ours have all three components, the emitters, matter converters and the Asgard computer with the program."
Landry stopped Hailey for a moment.
"That is all good, but what does it mean for us?"
"Sir, I think this is the way to increase our fleet production. If we can use the same technology, we can simply beam a ship into existence."
"Really?"
"No, sir. That was an exaggeration, but as long as we can provide the raw material, the Asgard beaming device will refine them as well. If we built space shipyards with this technology, we can build a 304 every six to seven months per drydock."
Everyone was stunned at the revelation. Landry nodded in approval.
"Very good, Lieutenant. Prepare a full report on it so I can brief General O'Neill, the president and the IOA. I think I can hear the funding of the SGC just increase."
Mitchell and Daniel smiled.
"Yes, sir."

~Lord Grazak, the Ha'taks belong to Goa'ulds named Gelon, Shu'nin and Narhal. They used to serve Warmaster Ba'al along with Doruan.~
"What do they want?"
~They have heard of what happened to Lord Ba'al and they have come to submit to the God Emperor.~
"Hmm… interesting. I have the first Concil due to begin in three hours. The Emperor has prepared for this and I intend to follow it. Have them ring down to the ring room on the ground floor. Then send our Tactical Squads to 'confiscate' their vessels for the Imperium."
~Yes, Lord Grazak, it will be done.~
-----
The three Goa'ulds looked around at the massive ring room decorated with various colored crystals, though the main color was blue. A tall female, beautiful Caucasian with dark hair reaching down to her shoulders, and wearing long flowing robe of silk-like material woven with golden threads, she moved first, heading toward the door. She was obviously in command among the three as the two male Goa'ulds, both wearing a sort of armor common among the lowly minor Goa'ulds, followed her. As the three Goa'uld approached the door, it opened and revealed an Elite followed by six Jaffa. The Goa'ulds were mildly surprised at the such difference in the Jaffa armor and weapons. The weapons of the Jaffa here was far more intimidating. Also, the heavily armoured and masked Jaffa who seemed to lead the other Jaffa had a clawed gauntlet that looked very dangerous.
The masked Jaffa bowed his head and spoke.
"My lords, you will follow me to Lord Grazak, the honored First Prime of the God Emperor."
The male Goa'ulds growled at the Jaffa's tone, but the female raised her hand slightly to stop them. She nodded and spoke to the Jaffa.
"I am Shu'nin. We are here to see your god, not his First Prime. You will take me to your master, now."
The Elite answered emotionlessly.
"At this time, our most glorious God Emperor is not here. He is away on important matters. You will speak to Lord Grazak."
The male Goa'uld standing to Shu'nin's left raised his karakesh in anger.
"You dare to refuse what a god commanded, Jaffa? You will pay for your insolence!"
Just as the Goa'uld raised his weapon, the Jaffa all lowered their weapons and pointed at the Goa'ulds. The Elite, who was without a halberd, half raised his claw. Shu'nin stared at the masked Jaffa for a moment and stopped the Goa'uld.
"Enough, Gelon. If it is true that their master is not here, it would not be bad to speak to his First Prime."
The other Goa'uld nodded. The Elite then turned around. They followed.
-----
The three Goa'ulds were brought before a massive door at least six meters in height. The strong tritium alloy door was immaculately decorated with crystals and gold. With the six Jaffa standing guard outside, the door opened and the Goa'ulds were let in. Just as the door opened, the Goa'ulds smelt beautiful aroma that seemed to alleviate all the worries. Then a sight stunned them. The hall they just entered was massive enough to contain ten thousand people at least, and it was heavily but not ostentatiously decorated with riches beyond that of a System Lord. They walked forward, still stunned by the grandeur and the beauty of the place. Then Shu'nin was the first to wake from the awe.
They saw a single Jaffa sitting behind a crystal large desk, surrounded by stacks of papers, and four Jaffa behind smaller desks. The Goa'ulds also noticed that the massive pillars on the either sides of the hall had an armed Jaffa behind it. Since there were at least fifty pillars in total, there were fifty Jaffa, not to mention a dozen Jaffa standing behind the Jaffa behind the large desk. As they approached, the First Prime Grazak looked up at them, and they noticed the strange golden symbol on his forehead. They had never seen a mark like that. Grazak looked up and gestured them forward. The Goa'ulds growled in anger but they knew that this was a crucial part. The 'God Emperor' was attempting to humiliate them by this display.
As they approached the main desk, the Jaffa filed out with some of the papers. Grazak stood up and waved his clawed hand. All the desks and chairs were surrounded by white light and then beamed out. The Goa'ulds recognised the Asgard beaming technology and was surprised that a mere Jaffa, even if he was the First Prime, could control such marvellous technology. Behind Grazak, a golden throne appeared through the same Asgard beaming technology. Located five steps below the Crystal Throne, it was still five steps higher from the floor and signified the importance of whoever sat there. Grazak sat down on that throne little to the surprise of the Goa'ulds. Grazak spoke.
"Goa'ulds, why have you come here to the throne world of the God Emperor?"
The Goa'uld Gelon could no longer contain his rage.
"Kree Jaffa! How dare you speak to your gods in such manner? I will have you torn apart and your master will have no problem with it!"
At that, Grazak stood up and growled.
"You presume too much, Goa'uld. The Jaffa of the Galactic Imperium no longer bow before the false gods. Our only god is the God Emperor, our lord and master. Only he is our god, and only he is the God."
Gelon roared and Narhal reacted also, both raising their karakesh. However, Shu'nin merely narrowed her eyes. Just as Gelon's karakesh began to glow, the armor worn by Grazak changed, unfolding like the armor of the Horus Guards of Ra's household, and covered him entirely. Fully armored, Grazak looked like a great metallic demon, with massive claws on both hands, with the left one bigger and more heavily decorated than the right side. The shockwave fired by Gelon's karakesh rushed at Grazak and the Jaffa did nothing to evade or defend. His armor merely absorbed the shockwave. As Gelon and Narhal looked in surprise, Narhal produced a zat and fired at Grazak three times, all of which were easily abosorbed by the armor. Then Grazak chuckled under his mask and raised his left hand, pointing the sharp claws at Gelon. Before Gelon could reach forth and activate his shield, lightning shot forth from the lightning claw and crashed into the Goa'uld. The Goa'uld was thrown back and he convulsed violently as the tens of thousands of volts coursed through his body. After a few seconds, Grazak released him, and all could see the charred flesh and smoke coming from the burnt parts of the body. However, they could see that Gelon was still alive… barely thanks to the natural healing aspect of the Goa'uld symbiote.
Without warning, Grazak turned to point his claw at Narhal, and Narhal quickly pressed the button for the shield, encasing himself with personal forcefield just as the lightning shot forth. The lightning sizzled against the shield for a couple of seconds before Grazak lowered his weapon. Narhal put a brave face on, and smiled in triumph. Unfortunately, Grazak was no longer the ignorant Jaffa under Doruan. Grazak shot forth with his powerful legs and jumped at Narhal, landing right in front of him. Surprised, Narhal almost took a step back, only to stop because moving while the shield was on would break the shield or seriously drain it. Purposefully, Grazak reached forth with his lightning claw and moved it through the shield and grabbed the Goa'uld by the neck. Lifting him up a bit, Grazak chuckled like his Emperor often did. To Narhal and Shu'nin, it gave them chill down their spine.
As Shu'nin watched, the golden eyes of the mask seemed to flash in bright light and Narhal screamed. Lights poured out from his orifices as if he was struck by a pain stick, a common Goa'uld torture device. Narhal tried to break the grip but being choked and under the torture, he fell unconcious within five seconds. Throwing the drooling body of Narhal to the side, Grazak returned to his golden throne and retracted his armor. Then smiling lightly, he bowed his head lightly at Shu'nin. Shu'nin smiled back as if she had no qualms about her companions being assaulted. Grazak spoke.
"Just as I thought. You are the wisest of the three, my lady. I am certain that the God Emperor will accept your allegience. I am Grazak, the honored First Prime of the God Emperor, second only to the Emperor himself and of the equal ranks as Warmaster Ba'al."
