The first indication that something was going on was the armored figures that came through the gates of the primitive city, the sun glinting off the alien metal armor. Harry looked at them with some trepidation, as Sha're was out in the market that the people had set up for the day, to gather some food. Harry was in his disguise, wearing the outfit of someone of high standing amongst the people, so he wouldn't have to work in the mines. It was Kasuf's idea, so that Harry, Jack and Emma would be safe in case Ra did come back. Apparently, Ra had come back and in force from the looks of the armed figures entering the city. Harry quickly left the building and focused his magic on where Sha're was, using that to find her at one of the fruit booths. How fruit was grown here was beyond him but Harry was glad he arrived, as his wife was being accosted by two humans with metal helmets that had bird like heads.
Harry shoved one of the men back, knocking him flat on his back as he stood in front of Sha're. The other turned the bird head onto him, bringing his staff to bear before someone else came up behind the man. Harry stepped closer to Sha're as the figure approached, feeling like something big was going to happen.
"Lotar Kree!" The figure snapped, the voice was feminine but metallic, but it caused the man to spin around and stand at attention.
Harry got a good look at the armored figure and frowned, not sure at what he was looking at. The figure was clearly female, the shape was that of an hourglass and had a large bust and wide hips. Covering her form was armor, a dark grey in coloration. Not a single part of her was uncovered, showing off the figure's curves but giving her protection from normal weapons the people here would use and probably the sun as well. The helmet actually didn't have the ridiculously long neck the two soldiers had, in fact, the neck only covered her neck and her head was covered in a rather detailed Falcon shaped helmet. The eyes were like finely cut rubies, the beak having a gold like edge, the sun reflecting off the gold finish slightly.
Her arms were covered in the armor, from the hands up to the elbow, gauntlets protect her arms. The hands armor had claws that looked sharp enough to cut flesh with ease, her hips had a leg guard which was shaped into a triangle that ended after her knees. Her feet were taloned, able to move and latch onto surfaces. In her right hand was a staff, similar to the ones that the Lotars. Her staff was longer, the end of it wasn't the wide shape the other two had. No, this staff ended in a spear shape, looking as sharp as the claws.
The Lotar looked like he was going to start protesting but the armored woman cut him off with a sharp, "Kree shak nel, Lotar!"
He quickly silenced any protest as his fellow stood up and made a salute, placing his arm on his chest with his head bowed. The armored woman wasn't impressed and snarled at them, causing them both to quickly leave with their proverbial tails between their legs. Her falcon shaped head turned to Harry and Sha're before she spoke in Egyptian to them.
"Those Lotar's will be treated according to Ra's law, they will not lay with your wife or anyone else's. I will see to it."
With that, the armored figure walked away, her armor making heavy footfalls as she disappeared into the crowd after the Lotar's. Harry looked at Sha're, who was a bit shaken by the ordeal.
"Lets get back to our room, alright?" Harry said, to which Sha're nodded without protest.
Hours later, Harry was sitting with Emma and Jack in his room, as Sha're cooked dinner. Jack was looking very agitated while Emma was calm, or looked calm at any rate. Harry was trying to find Hermione with his magic but he couldn't find her at all, so he was rather nervous because of this. It was Jack that spoke up first, voice low.
"Matthew, Daniel and Hermione haven't radioed back, neither has Kawasaki. These soldiers showing up isn't something that regularly happened, from what I saw in the mines today." He said, looking at Harry and Emma, "The fully armored ones were in charge and the lesser armored ones were the grunts pretty much."
Emma snorted, "Yeah, the ones in the armor punished a few of the Lotar's when they tried to have their way with me. Seems that the armored ones were strict on what the Lotar could do, guess pleasure of the flesh is not one of them."
Harry nodded, "Yeah, one of them said she would take care of the two harassing Sha're in the market today. You could tell she was a woman, which I find very weird."
"Must be an aesthetic that Ra wanted," Sha're said, coming in with bowls of soup she had made, "In our stories, Ra wanted his elite warriors to have their armor distinguish them from the ones that were not trained enough. Of course, after the death of Serqet, the armor was probably made as the only distinguishing feature."
"Or they had the armor changed to make sure the Lotar's are seen as ridiculous," Harry said, moving his hands form his shoulders to above his head, miming the long metal neck piece the Lotar wore, "lesser to the elites, who didn't need the neck piece."
"Makes much more sense for someone to do that, makes the Lotar the cannon fodder." Jack said before his radio crackled.
"Colonel-" It crackled, "anyone? Can anyone-hear me?"
"This is Colonel O'Neill," Jack said, "Report."
"Armored-hostiles, overwhelmed" The radio crackled before the words started to fade out, "n-need reinforce-now."
Jack tried to get more information but the radio only produced static, the connection was dead.
The next morning, Harry went to the pyramid with Jack, Emma and Sha're. His wife put her foot down on staying behind, not wanting to be alone when the Lotar found her. Jack reluctantly allowed her to join them, as they trekked across the desert before the sun would rise. When the sun was starting to rise, the group saw the pyramid or what was over it.
"I get the feeling that this Ra character believes he is living in Egyptian myth and legend." Jack muttered, Harry nodding at that statement.
They carefully made their way down the dune before walking inside the rather dark interior of the pyramid, Jack and Emma turning on the flashlight attachments on their weapons. Harry had his wand out, Sha're staying close by. Guns were scattered across the ground, but there were not bodies. Harry felt a chill run down his spine before something blasted him across the room into Emma with a loud crash. On top of her, Harry tried to get his barings but couldn't as his vision went blurry from his lack of glasses. It was Sha're who saved him, Emma and Jack by standing before them with her arms out, shouting that they surrendered.
Harry finally got his glasses back on, looking around and found they were surrounded on all sides by fully armored warriors. Then, near the entrance of the gate room, a light appeared. It hummed then multiple rings came down out of the ceiling, a light flashed from top to bottom before the rings lifted back up into the ceiling once more. Standing there was another armored warrior, this one the same as the one from the market.
"Oh," Harry muttered, loud enough that everyone heard him, "seems an old face has come to greet us."
"Indeed, Human," The female voice said, amusement easily heard in her voice, "now, you will be taken before our God, Ra."
