AN: This is part two of The Nox. It'll be shorter than the last chapter but will have a few exciting battle scenes like the ones I put in War of the Xel'Naga. I'm sorry that it took so god awful long to get out but I had a project that I was working on that I just could not resist writing.
AN2: I've never played Super Robot Wars, I just found the Huckebein while looking up Mobile Suits. The Mecha Profiles HQ site has an entire section on Gundam and SRW so that's where I got it from.
October 28, 1997: Milky Way: Nox Home World.
The Nox Naturals (I'm calling the people that live outside the city Naturals) and SG1 sat around a campfire. Soup was cooking over the fire. One of the Nox dipped a spoon into the pot of soup and poured it into a cup made from a leaf. He then handed it to Jack who looked at with uneasiness.
"Are these guys even human?" Jack asked.
"They look human," Sam shrugged. "They just don't seem to understand us."
"We will take you to your doorway," one of the Naturals said. SG1 looked over at him.
"You can understand us?" Daniel asked.
"It took us time to learn your speech," the man said. "We will send you to your doorway and you will leave. You shall take your ways with you."
"What about our friend?" Daniel asked. "I'm fairly sure that I speak for all of us when I say that we will not leave him behind."
"The others have plans for him," the man said.
"What kind of plans could they have for Harry?" Jack asked. "As far as I know you've never even met him."
"One does not have to meet a person to know of them," the man informed. He waved his hand and SG1 and the Nox were surrounded by mist. Nothing could be seen through the dense fog. When it cleared, they found themselves in the clearing near the Stargate. "When your friend returns, you shall go through your doorway." (That's right, no Shak'l.)
"What about Apophis?" Daniel asked.
"That problem is being dealt with as we speak," the Natural said. He looked over to where the cloaked city was. SG1 followed his gaze. After a few moments, they observed a Mobile Suit appear out of nowhere and shoot up into the sky.
"What the hell was that?" Jack asked no one in particular.
"That is who we are waiting for," the Natural said. He waved his hand and a small bank of mist appeared just before them. A moment later, an image of the Lancer flying in the clouds appeared on the mist. "You will observe the power of the Nox and then you will leave." SG1 glanced at the man before looking back at the mist.

The Lancer shook slightly as Harry increased the speed. He was amazed at the sheer power of the Mobile Suit. On its own it had enough power to free itself of the planet's gravity without using up even a tenth of a percent of its power.
The shaking stopped as the Lancer entered low orbit. The sky cleared and space was now visible. Two Goa'uld mother ships floated in high orbit just above the planet. As he approached the orange shields activated and the weapons powered up. Harry dodged to the side as blasts of energy shot at his Mobile Suit.
Harry pulled away just before he hit the shield of the ship. The Mobile Suit was far more maneuverable than the giant capital ship and easily dodged all of the attacks that were sent its way.
Death Gliders launched from the two ships. Harry boosted back and locked onto one of the Gliders with his rifle and fired a single shot. The advanced targeting of the Suit destroyed the Glider in a single shot. Quickly enough, swarms of flyers started to attack the Lancer.
Harry shot up and flipped the Suit over a swarm of Gliders. When they were directly in front of him he fired his rifle and guns down at them. The streams of fire sliced into the lightly armored fighters either killing the pilots or igniting the fuel. Harry stopped the Lancer as an energy blast shot past his cockpit.
Harry pressed a button and turned the suit simultaneously. The rifle was holstered and the Lancer grabbed its beam saber. A Glider came at him from the front and started shooting wildly in an attempt to hit him. Harry boosted slightly to the side then diagonally up over the blasts as he closed in. He sliced into the cockpit of the Glider and cut it in half bilaterally.
The mother ships turned to shoot at him again now that their fighters were spent. Harry continued to dodge as there was no way to get through the shields.

"That's incredible," Sam muttered as she watched the Lancer dodge and slice into a Death Glider. "How is something like that even possible?"
"Anything is possible," the Natural said. "A person must just have the mind to realize that in order to make something possible."
"You guys can't possibly have more of those things," Jack said.
"The Nox do not need to be protected," the Natural said. "Please, I insist that you observe this battle. It should make you realize the naivety of your race."
"Teal'c?" Jack asked.
"I have never seen such a weapon but it is considerably more powerful than anything the Goa'uld has in the same class," the Jaffa stated.
"I'd like to state right now that we came to this world in peace," Jack said.

Harry narrowly dodged an energy blast that had passed a little too close for comfort. The enemy's aim was getting better and eventually, they would hit him. For the last few minutes he had been trying to determine any weakness at all in the ship's shields but his weapons were too weak to penetrate them.
His eyes widened. The Lancer's main screen displayed the shield's data and explained that with each shot from its energy weapons, the shield fluctuated just enough for the energy, or anything else, to penetrate.
Harry got close to the shield and timed the enemy's attack to within a microsecond. The energy attack passed through the shield, the broke into one of the Hataks shield bubble. With the beam saber activated, Harry ducked down below the ship's main body so that he was directly underneath the pyramid. He stabbed up and boosted backward opening a gaping hole exactly where the shield generator was located. As Jaffa technicians were sent hurtling into space, Harry shot towards the other Hatak.
With both mother ships' shields deactivated, Harry shot away to a reasonable distance. He positioned the Lancer and the two Hataks in a straight line and switched weapons to the Mega Cannon. He centered the large weapon on the enemy vessel's bridge. With one pull of the trigger, an extremely powerful blast of energy shot out from the Cannon.
The concentrated energy beam broke through the Hatak's armor and passed right through. The beam continued on out the other side of the ship and right into the second one. The mother ships were connected for a brief moment by the beam before I dissipated. Moments after the beam disappeared, two enormous explosions rippled through the night sky.
Harry gawked at the sheer power of the Lancer. One blast from the Mega Cannon had destroyed two Hatak Mother Ships. To date, nothing was capable of that. Even the Asgard's most powerful weapons took several hits to fully destroy a Hatak without its shields.
Harry swallowed once before he realized where he was. Returning from his reverie, he returned the Mega Cannon to its mount and boosted towards the planet's surface.

SG1 gazed in awe at the power of the Mobile Suit. Even Teal'c was amazed by the power. They watched as the Lancer sped towards Earth. The mist faded away as did the image.
"So now you see," the Natural said. "That is the true power of the Nox."
"Is there any chance that we can form an alliance between our two peoples?" Daniel asked.
"You have already proven that your violent ways cannot match the Nox," the Natural said.
"You can't be serious," Jack said. "I'm fairly sure that no matter how different our two races are we both have eyes. How can you say that you're pacifists if you just destroyed two Goa'uld Mother Ships?"
"I never said that the Nox destroyed those ships," the Natural said. "I merely said that the power of the Nox destroyed them."
"What do you mean?" Jack asked. A loud sound cut him off. Everyone looked to the sky to see a single red object shooting down towards them. After three moments, the redness dissipated and was replaced by an object.
The Lancer carefully activated its boosters to slow its descent. Harry was almost in a hover by the time he was near the Stargate's clearing. He landed in front of SG1 and opened the cockpit. He left the cockpit with grace and landed in front of the humans and the Nox.
"Sorry I'm late," Harry said. "I had a few pests that I had to take care of first."
"Harry?" Daniel, Sam and Jack asked simultaneously.
