Disclaimer: Let's say hypothetically that Riddick lives in our universe. Even if I killed J. K. Rowling and the entirety of MGM Studios, I wouldn't own either Harry Potter or Stargate SG1, so there.

AN: This is the first chapter that will be at least relatively exciting, will differ greatly from the show and will provide insight on a race that certain people might overlook. Namely the Nox.

AN2: I did carry Mobile Suits and other Gundam Style weapons over to this story. They were what made my story what it is. Since I can't remember my designs and I'm too lazy to look them up, I ask you to look up the pictures of the suit that I describe. I also ask you to acknowledge that all of the Mobile Suits that I put in my stories are only about sixteen feet tall rather than eighteen meters tall. This was the perfect height to have a pilot and weapons systems that could work well against infantry and that's also how tall the Goliath from Star Craft was.

October 27, 1997: Milky Way: Stargate Command

"Stargate in motion!" a soldier said from the Gate Room. The Stargate was in fact spinning around. SG1, General Hammond as well as the Secretary of Defense (supposed) were standing in the Control Room observing SG5 preparing for their standard recon mission to P3C-117.

"Chevron Six is encoded," the Gate Operator said.

"You'd better hold onto something, Mr. Secretary," Hammond said. "This is how we open the front door around here."

"Chevron Seven is locked," the Operator said. The Stargate whooshed open to the surprise and amazement of the Secretary.

"My god, General it…" The Secretary sputtered.

"I thought you might be impressed," Hammond said.

"Just what exactly am I looking at?" the Secretary asked.

"We think that we're looking at an artificial wormhole that travels through subspace to a point that may be tens or even hundreds of miles away," Sam said.

"SG5, your mission is a go for standard recon," the Operator said.

"And do we know where they are going?" the Secretary asked.

"The planet is designated P3C-117," Hammond said, using his hand to show him on a map.

"Do you know what's out there?" the Secretary asked.

"No, sir," Jack said. "That would be why we're going."

"I don't know Colonel, is it?" the Secretary asked. "To be quite frank, the administration is not satisfied with the progress of the Stargate Program. The President and the Joint Chiefs were under the impression that the SGC would be bringing back superior technologies."

"I thought that we were explorers," Daniel said coming out of his corner.

"Yes, you are, Doctor Jackson but even Marco Polo brought back more than a few exotic spices," the Secretary said.

"Advanced cultures with advanced technology tend to not like to share it," Jack said.

"So we're wasting our time?" the Secretary asked.

Jack looked at Sam. "Would you interpret what I said as…?"

"Colonel," Hammond said warningly.

"With respect, this may be humanity's most important endeavor," Sam said.

"That's what they said about the Apollo Program and they brought back moon rocks."

"What kind of comparison is that?" Jack asked.

"Colonel," the Secretary said. "If one of those Goa'uld ships came right now, have you brought back one piece of technology that could fight them off?" Sam briefly glanced at Harry who had been standing in the corner. He shook his head.

"What technologies do you seek?" Teal'c asked.

"You tell me," the Secretary said. "What's out there?"

"There are technologies that even the Goa'uld still seek. For example, there is a creature on an unpopulated world that possesses the power of invisibility," Teal'c said. "I was once charged to capture this creature. Apophis killed two of my men as punishment for our failure."

"Sounds like a mission to me," Jack said.

October 27, 1997: Milky Way: Nox Home World

Jack and Harry came through the Gate last. Jack was carrying an MP5, Harry was carrying his SA80. The rest of the team was a short ways away from the Gate.

"I thought I saw something just as we came through," Sam said.

"Did we score already?" Jack asked.

"I saw movement as well," Teal'c said. "This way."

"I hope these things are as big as you say," Jack said. Sam and Daniel were carrying tranquilizer guns. "There's enough serum in these things to take down a rhino."

"They are very large," Teal'c said as they made their way down a hill. "The creature is visible when it hovers."

Out of the corner of his eye, Harry caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. He quickly turned around only to find that the Stargate was missing. "Hey guys, where's the Stargate?" Everyone else turned around.

"It was there just a second ago," Sam said. "Teal'c, has this ever happened to you before?"

"It has not," the Jaffa said.

"Alright, let's start a box search," Jack said. "Carter, you and Teal'c take off in that direction." He pointed to the east. "Daniel you and I will go the other way. Harry… you do whatever it is that you do." Jack was bit confused at to what to tell Harry to do on his own.

"I'll be fine, Jack," Harry said. He turned around and walked off.

Harry disappeared into the trees a few dozen meters away from the rest of the team. He was hardly worried about the apparent disappearance of the Stargate so he wasn't actually looking for it. Instead, he was looking for what he'd seen just a few moments before, namely a humanoid figure.

He was careful not to let anyone know of his technology and had asked Sam to not mention his cloaking device. She had agreed under the strict rule that if anyone asked specifically that he had the device; she would be allowed to tell them.

Harry jumped up into a tree. The branch he was now standing on was several feet above the ground. He'd taken it for granted long ago that he was able to perform these amazing feats of acrobatics. During his combat training, he'd always outmaneuvered his human, or in some cases Jaffa, instructors with ease. That, together with his constant peace of mind and random attacking style made him easily one of the most skilled warriors in the Galaxy.

Harry grabbed onto a branch and flung himself up to the upper levels of the forest. Mid-flight, he activated his cloaking device. Landing on another tree, Harry jumped up and landed on the top, perfectly balanced.

A staff blast was shot from behind him. Carefully but quickly, Harry turned around to see three Jaffa and a gold armored figure run into a clearing. Harry quickly analyzed them and registered them as two Jaffa Guards, a First Prime and Apophis himself.

Twenty more minutes found SG1 back at where the Stargate was supposed to be, going over their mission objectives and how the appearance of Apophis changed them. Harry didn't pay much attention but he knew that in the end it would boil down to them attempting to capture the False God.

Harry set up their ambush along with the rest of SG1. This was a bad plan that much he knew. Apophis was smarter than most people thought. He would not come to this planet without a personal shield. Even Harry had one; he just didn't use it since his specialty was espionage and counter-espionage.

Harry brought his rifle down to aim at the path. The SA80 had its conventional ammo magazine loaded and the safety was off. Technically, the safety was always off considering it took a finger to fire the weapon (extra Asgard fail safes).

Apophis and his guard came down the path quickly. Harry aimed at one of the Jaffa guard's head. As soon as Teal'c fired the first shot, signaling the ambush, Harry would fire. The First Prime bent down to the ground and found a footprint. It was left behind by SG1. That was when Teal'c popped out from his hiding place and fired his weapon.

The First Prime ducked behind a pile of rocks to avoid the blast. The First Prime was Harry's target. He aimed his weapon carefully to account for the duck but it was not difficult. As the rest of the team started shooting, Harry killed the First Prime with a shot to the head.

Apophis called one of his Jaffa for a weapon. The foot soldier threw his god his Staff Weapon. The God then shot Jack in the chest, bullets pinging off his personal shield. Sam cried out to her fallen commander and Apophis killed her as well. As Daniel attempted to move to her aid, he was killed as well. Teal'c came from behind his defenses and started to shoot at his former God. Apparently the grand irony of their situation was lost in everyone but Harry.

After a few bitter words between the two… acquaintances, Apophis fired his weapon. The yellow blast of energy passed through thin air. Harry blinked and his mouth fell to the ground. He looked around for everyone else but did not see them. There was nothing. They were just gone.

Apophis looked up at where Harry was hiding. He saw the amazed look on Harry's face but that did not stop him from aiming his Staff up at the last member of SG1 left. Harry regained his composure and jumped out of the way before the Staff blast hit him. He activated his cloaking device and disappeared into the woods.

Harry rubbed his eyelids an hour later. He'd escaped Apophis but had not found any trace of his friends. After reliving the battle again, Harry had found that Apophis's dead First Prime had disappeared as well. The sun was beginning to set on the planet. Harry licked his lips while thinking of something to do. Coming to a decision, he reached into his pouch and pulled from it a small spherical object. He placed the item onto the ground and squeezed it. The sphere began to glow blue. It began to transfer information to Harry's brain.

The coordinates of several things popped up in Harry's mind with their position compared to his. Harry practically fell over in surprise. There was an enormous floating city a mile from his position. It was a technological marvel, something that the Goa'uld could never hope to build much less operate. From what his sphere was telling him, only a Great Race could accomplish this task.

Both in technological installations on the planet's surface and inside the city itself were concentrated energy signatures that screamed to his trained mind of advanced weapons. In orbit were to his great surprise two Goa'uld Motherships as well as four moons. Each of the four moons contained a small army of the advanced weapons as well as large cannons that could possibly provide orbital defense.

Harry had never encountered this kind of technological advancement on any planet it either the Ida or the Milky Way Galaxies. The militaristic power of this planet was greater than that of the Goa'uld ground forces and depending on the other weapons that Harry could not detect could possibly rival their space forces as well.

With the technological readings checking out, Harry focused on the biological signatures around the planet. He ignored the small signatures such as animals and focused on humans and other similar races. The scan came up with Apophis and his two guards a half hour's walk away. Three human signatures appeared about an hour's walk in the other direction but they were extremely weak. Two Goa'uld life signs were in the same area as well as four life signs that Harry did not recognize.

Harry turned to look in that direction. At his fastest pace he would be able to get there in ten minutes. Given the information, he was certain that his team was there and under the care of the unknown creatures. He looked towards where the floating city was likely cloaked. He could make it there in two minutes tops. He had the choice of checking to see if his friends were in a hostile situation or checking to see if they were all in a dangerous situation.

He'd lost friends in the past. He'd had to kill a few of them himself, actually. It was painful to lose friends in any way at all. They always known what they were getting into. Every time a friend had fallen, he'd been forced to continue on with the mission. This scenario was no different.

Harry took the sphere from the ground and returned it to his pouch. Standing up, Harry took off running in the direction of the floating city.

Harry jumped up into a tree and from that tree jumped up higher into another tree and on and on until he was on the very tops of the trees. Having the position of the city memorized in his mind, Harry gathered his energy in his legs and jumped. Rather than the usual eight foot jumps he could accomplish at any given time, this one was different. The apex of the jump hit thirty feet.

(Yes, I do understand the Nox city is more than thirty feet above the nearest tree but bear with me. I can't have Harry jumping a hundred feet into the air this early in the story.)

The cloaking field around the city did not hamper Harry's momentum in the slightest. The instant Harry passed through it, the city became visible. Not quite prepared for the geometry of the city, Harry was forced to land on a small building.

(Due to the asymmetrical proportions and the randomized shapes as well as a lack of pictures, I can't skillfully describe the city. Sorry, but this is to be made up as I go along.)

Harry attempted to activate his cloaking device. When it failed to work, he remembered Thor explaining to him that a cloaking device does not work inside another cloaking field. Seeing as the entire city was cloaked, he would be forced to use the ancient stealthy maneuvers first used by the Nox.

Harry dropped down from the building he was on into an alleyway. There was no one in the alley at all so he was safe to keep moving. One side was a dead end while the other was opened to a boulevard or the alien equivalent. Harry walked carefully towards the boulevard and poked his head out. Several humanoid figures were walking the streets. All of them wore similar gray clothes that looked oddly like single piece flight suits. (Just imagine the clothing as gray SGC uniforms.)

When no one was looking, Harry made a break for the other side of the street and ducked into an empty alley. The greatest concentration of energy signatures was below the streets of the city in a hanger. The only open entrance to that hanger was in the single spire of the city and that was at the end of the boulevard.

Yawning, Harry jumped up, kicked off the wall and landed on the roof. He turned and looked towards the spire. A moment later, he took off sprinting towards the spire. When he got close, he jumped up and threw a window on the east side of the building. He couldn't be certain anymore that no one had seen him.

He landed in a hallway inside the spire. Thankfully, no one was in the hall. Cautiously, he moved towards an elevator that could take him down to the sub-city hanger. Harry slipped into the elevator and pressed a button that would take him to the lowest level. The lift started to fall slowly before gaining speed. Harry was at the hanger in less than fifteen seconds. The door opened and Harry stepped out.

What met him on the other side was incredible. In this one hanger alone stood eighty Mobile Suits, something that Harry had only ever seen on Othala. At a glance, there were four different kinds of Mobile Suits, humanoid bipedal combat walkers, all of which he remembered the names of.

The Ester was a Command Mobile Suit that outperformed all of the others. It was capable of flying in the atmosphere but was best in space. It didn't have the most firepower of the four suits but it did have much more advanced systems than the rest. It was of Ancient Design. There were twenty suits in the hanger. (This suit looks exactly like the ZGMF 515 CGUE from Gundam Seed.)

The Aegis was an Assault Type Mobile Suit. It could fly but didn't have the maneuverability of later models. Its weapons systems, however, were the most advanced of any other Mobile Suit and in the hands of an experienced pilot could be as powerful as a battleship. It was of Furling Design. Twenty suits were in the hanger. (This suit looks exactly like the MMA01 Serpent from Gundam Wing, Endless Waltz.)

The third suit was an Aerial Type Mobile Suit codenamed Eagle (Formerly Volt: I'll never know why I named it that (It looks like the OZ-12SMS from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz)). First designed by the Asgard, it was fully intended for Space Flight only but when the design was shared between the other Three Races, it had been adapted for atmospheric flight. There were twenty of these in the hanger.

The final suit was the Raven, a General Purpose Mobile Suit. It had powerful long range weaponry but a small close range armament. Though not as powerful as the Aegis, as maneuverable as the Eagle and didn't have the systems of the Ester, it instead struck a balance between the three making it powerful in its own right. It was designed by the Nox. (This suit looks like the ZGMF-601R GuAIZ R from Gundam Seed Destiny.)

There was one other suit that was different than the others and appeared to be one of a kind off to the left of the others. It was about six inches taller than the Eagle and mounted one large cannon on the right shoulder and a shield on the left. It was colored grey and blue. A handheld beam rifle was carried on the waist. (This suit looks almost exactly like the Tallgeese III from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. The only difference is that in place of white paint is grey paint and the rifle on the waist.)

"Do you find our arsenal impressive?" Harry spun around to look at the elevator, gun raised. A lone man stood in its entrance. "You should consider yourself lucky that our security systems did not catch your arrival. Not many spies have gotten through this place alive."

"Who the hell are you?" Harry asked ignoring the man's last comment. "This technology is property of the Alliance of Four Great Races. Possession of that technology by a lesser race is forbidden without the consent of all four races."

"You know of the Alliance?" the man asked. "Not many people know of the Alliance considering that the races that are still alive are either isolationist or dead."

"Answer me!" Harry said targeting the man's chest with his rifle for emphasis.

"You are quite impatient," the man said. "Normally you would be dead already but considering that you have gotten through our security I shall answer your question. There is nothing that you should worry about considering these weapons. The Nox have never harmed anyone before."

Harry did a double take. "You can't be the Nox. They're pacifists. They wouldn't have weapons like these."

"Although nations can be considered pacifists, they still have weapons," the man said. "For example, the country of Switzerland in the center of Europe on the planet Earth is neutral and has never fought a war. Yet they have weapons. A nation cannot keep an air of pacifism without the weaponry to enforce it. There are always wars and there is no way to avoid them."

"You sound like you planned that speech," Harry said, his aim not wavering.

"When you have lived for four hundred years, you tend to create answers to problems that may or may not arise in the future," the man said. "I have given you my race but not my identity. I am Olav, Head Scientist of the Nox government."

"Harry Potter, Asgard Special Forces," Harry said.

Olav blinked. "You are an Asgard?"

"I'm Special Forces," Harry corrected. "I'm a human that was adopted by the Asgard a long time ago." For emphasis, he shot a red stun blast past Olav's head that hit the wall behind him. For his part, Olav didn't as much as flinch.

"There is something else in you," Olav said. "The residue of two Great Races is on your body; that of the Asgard and that of the Ancients. How is it that you have both of these?"

"The reason that Thor adopted me was because I am the last known Ancient still alive and an orphan," Harry said, his guard lessening slightly.

"It would seem that we are allies on two sides and not just one," Olav said. "The Nox have awaited the return of the Ancients for many centuries." Olav looked around at the Mobile Suits in the hanger. "You are obviously familiar with these weapons considering that your father designed one himself. There are Mobile Suits from all of the Great Races here. It is the ultimate arsenal."

Harry's arms got tired and he lowered his rifle but still kept it ready. "You have been isolationists for centuries. Why? The Asgard could have used your help."

"We resolved long ago to not use our technology for militaristic purposes," Olav said. "These weapons could hardly change the tide of war with the Replicators."

"You could have been there to enforce the Protected Planets Treaty," Harry said. "It's a sad bluff as it is now. You could have aided the Asgard scientists in discovering a way to eliminate the Replicators. Yet you haven't."

"I will not repeat myself anymore," Olav said. "Our weapons are here as are we. There is no point in starting a war that will not change anything. We do not have the manpower or the drive to change the tide of war in this galaxy."

"But you do have the technology," Harry said. Olav smiled.

"Come with me," Olav said. "There is something that I would like to show you." He turned and walked towards the elevator.

Harry followed quickly, not wanting to be left behind. He stepped through the door just as the elevator closed. The lift rose in silence for a few moments before it opened and they stepped out. The next room was reasonably large; big enough for a Mobile Suit but small enough for maintenance. They came out on a catwalk that observed the room below. Harry walked over to the railing and looked down.

Several Nox scientists were working at consoles on and around a single Mobile Suit. It was unfinished but the shape was there. It was thin and tall, standing at about eighteen feet tall. It had a humanoid helmet that was lacking on most Mobile Suit models. The armor of the machine was painted purple and gold. Two wings stretched upwards from the shoulder blades. Most of the plating was still off and it didn't look even close to combat capable. (This suit looks exactly like the RTX-008 Huckebein from Super Robot Wars. It just isn't completed yet.)

"That is our greatest achievement," Olav said coming up to stand next to Harry. "The Hawk is the most powerful Mobile Suit that the Nox have ever attempted to create. It utilizes technology from all four of the Great Races to create the ultimate weapon. It is more maneuverable than the Eagle, more powerful than a battleship. Its metal armor is a composite metal alloy made from Naquadah, Titanium, Carbon and Lundanium."

"What's Lundanium?" Harry asked unfamiliar with the word.

"Lundanium was first created by the Furlings when they needed a new alloy for their warships and Mobile Suits," Olav said. "It is an alloy of pure steel and titanium forged in a zero gravity environment. At the moment, it is the strongest metal in the known universe."

"Why didn't the Furlings use it for the Aegis?" Harry asked.

"Lundanium is extremely expensive to manufacture," Olav said. "One pound costs two hundred drakes (stole it from Morrowind, I know)."

"That's equivalent to 72 million dollars," Harry muttered. "Why would the Nox even try to create this thing? You haven't fought a war in half a dozen centuries."

"Peace can only be maintained while the soldiers do not covet war," Olav said. "The Hawk is designed as the ultimate peacekeeper. It can operate without a Mothership and has a nearly unlimited ammunition capacity. Even if the entire Nox Fleet was destroyed, the Hawk could still win any war on its own. That is why we designed it."

"What are you going to do about the Goa'uld ships in orbit?" Harry asked.

"They cannot locate this city therefore they are not a threat to us," Olav said.

"It was that kind of arrogance that destroyed the Ancients," Harry said. "They are a definite threat to everyone on this planet and have to be taken out."

"Then why don't you do it yourself?" Olav asked. Harry looked at him. At first he was going to say something but then smiled.

"You're a clever one Olav," Harry said. He turned and walked into the elevator leaving a smiling Nox.

Harry rode the elevator down to the hanger once again. When he stepped out, he immediately walked over to the custom suit. He pressed a button on the side of the cockpit and it opened up to allow him access. He sat down to get a feel for the controls. The cockpit closed behind him.

Unlike the Mobile Suits of the other races, this suit had a different cockpit system. Cameras on the exterior of the suit provided the sight for the glassless cockpit. There were six screens, on the right, front and left of the seat. Three more were positioned above it. Smaller screens situated behind the seat allowed for rear view.

There were two handles on the arms of the chair. Both of them moved up and down grooves which controlled the aiming and movement of the suit. There was a single trigger on each of handles as well as another button that switched weapons. To the left of the left handle was a keypad that could be used to make adjustments to the flight system. A similar one was to the right. A throttle control was on the left side. It was small enough and allowed for constant power. Two pedals on the bottom of the chair operated boosts of power. Despite the odd looking appearance, it was a simple system to learn when the pilot was experienced.

He brought the suit online. On the front screen, a small operating table came up and displayed the suit's name as Lancer.

Harry pressed a button on the keypad which opened a door directly above the suit. The door blocked off a tunnel that lead up through the spire of the city to the top. Harry throttled up and the boosters activated. When he removed the restraints on the suit, it shot upwards through the spire towards the sky above.

(End Chapter)

Well, there you have it: Part One of The Nox. I enjoyed writing this chapter quite a bit in stark contrast to The First Commandment which bored me to death. The only reason I did it at all was because I had planned to do every episode where Harry being a member of SG1 would drastically change the outcome. I might go back and revise The First Commandment but it'll be a while.

Continue to review please. If you have read this far into my story and have enjoyed it, why not tell me? You don't need to have a question or a statement to justify a review. All it takes is clicking the little button the side and saying something. If you want to flame, go right ahead; just have a valid reason to do so.

The next chapter will cover the second part of The Nox and will show SG1's time with the natural Nox and their reaction to seeing Harry… do his thing.
