Authors Notes: Greetings humanoids, this is just a little bit of ficcy drivel that me and my best online friend (also online GF) wrote up. Did it a little oddly, co-wrote it over MSN Messenger, so that's why the paragraphs and stuff are kinda short and it goes back and forth. We used our own SG team (the much abused SG-11) and set it just AU'ed enough that we can fit things together here and there. Coments and suggestions of all sorts would be appreciated muchly. And thank you to the one nice person who did send in a review. We went back and revised chapter 1 to take into account yer suggestions... =) And as always, credit for inspiration and mental support go to my dear Kos... ;-) btw: she's the girl who's helping me write this, the most valued co-author

Category: Action/Adventure, Humor, Romance

Rating: PG-13 fer language. Ratings may change pending on authors own inspirations

Alright, Standard Disclaimer Time: We don't own Stargate and we don't own Lord of the Rings... It'd be nice if we did, cause then we'd have some cash to throw around! :-D

Logan slammed the small round door shut behind him, turned, and clambered up on the roof of Bag-End, which was mostly just walking uphill. The lanky American stopped near the tree atop the hill and flopped down beneath the branches. "Off all the gawd'fersakin...." he grumbled, referring to the British doctor in the house beneath his feet. Rodchenko arched a bushy black and brown eyebrow at the ex-Delta Force operator and trundled over.

"Why you so upset Hoot? What Hale say?" the Russian sat on a rock and watched his CO and longtime friend.

Logan leaned back against the tree-trunk and looked at the only other -real- military man on the team. "Tha' nose-in-a-textbook doc's gonna bugger EVERYTHING up. I say we shoulda kept Gandalf with us, but nooooooo! Hale sends the most powerful guy in ALLL of Middle-Earth traipsing off to Orthanc to get himself captured!"

Rodchenko tilted his head in confusion. "Hoot, did you not say it was written so in the book? Are we supposed to change it?" he asked.

O'Conner looked over at the Russian as if he'd grown a third eye. "Well ahf course that's how it's written in the book. But Ah'm lookin' at the big picture here. If Gandalf was with us, we could kick them Nazgul all the way back ta Mordor... rather than lettin Frodo get stuck with a knife."

Rodchenko nodded, "I see what you mean. But...what if that is what gets the quest ruined?" the Russian shrugged. "I do not know. I am just a soldier."

"Well... How could...? Oh fergit it..." The American got to his feet and started down the hill. "Bryl better have gotten Sam and Frodo ready, cause we should be leaving post haste." He walked back into Bag End and to his approval, found 1 Human, 1 Nox, and all 4 Hobbits standing there. "Good... Hobbits, get packed. We leave as soon as possible," he said in his most 'Army'-ish voice. The one he reserved for new recruits and annoying subordinates... like Bryl at the moment.

Bryluen walked over to him, "Logan...a word?"

The major rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen, ducking constantly to avoid hitting his head on the low roof and doorways. "What is it -Doctor- Hale?"


Hale looked at him with a neutral expression, "I've been thinking, Major O'Conner. I think that we should get the Hobbits as far as Bree. Then continue on our own to Rivendell. Elessar will meet them there and guide them safely to Rivendell. A band of nine...easily noticable...see where I'm going with this?" she asked, the expression in her eyes saying she wouldn't take no for an answer.

Logan looked at her, then in the general direction of the hallway where he could hear the scurrying of small feet getting ready for travel. "Yeah, yeah, yeah... They'll be enough of a target without us in the way. Even with our cloaks we'd draw attention." The Texan grumbled. "Though one of us should go into the Pony to contact Aragorn...?" It was half a statement and half a question. As much as he might not like to admit it, Logan was going to have to rely on Bryl's advice.

Bryluen thought for a moment, "I don't think so. It's best we reveal it all in Rivendell. It would stall things too much. His sole intent must be to bring the Hobbits to Elrond I should think. Plus. Jax and I aren't exactly soldiers. If we were to get attacked with only one of you to help us." she whispered.

"Alright, alright. Ya know... At this point, why not just head straight to Rivendell and let the Hobbits get to Bree by themselves?" Logan asked. Bryluen had brought up another good point. As soon as possible, prolly at Rivendell, his team was going to need formal combat training in swords and the like. After all, ammo was a finite resource.


"That would be the best course of action probably." she nodded and looked up at him. The two headed out and went over to Jax and Alphabet. After explaining the plan to them, Jax went over to the Hobbits to instruct them.

Frodo looked at Hale, then over at Logan, then back at his friends. "Alright then... If you think it'd be a good idea."

Logan walked over and knelt down to look at the Ringbearing hobbit. "Alrigh'... Stay off the roads, travel at night, and DONT use the name of Baggins anymore." He grinned and put his hand on Frodo's shoulder. "Get to the Prancing Pony. Find a ranger called Strider. He'll be waiting for you and know who you are... And, above all." He looked past Frodo and Merry and Pippen. "DONT let the two of them talk to ANYBODY until you get to Strider." The other two-hobbits shot the ranger a dirty look, which Logan could only grin at.

Frodo looked at Hale, then over at Logan, then back at his friends. "Alright then... If you think it'd be a good idea."

Bry stood aside with Rodchenko and Jax, observing O'Conner. Deep down, under the military front and the stubbornness, he seemed like a nice man. Easy on the eyes too. The three SG11 crewmembers waited until the Hobbits started on their way

Logan watched the hobbit band head down the road, then looked back at his team. "Suggestions people?"

Rodchenko nodded, "We should go now. We need to get to the place you called Rivendell as soon as possible."

"Afanasi is correct. It is imperative we hurry." Jax added.

"Only 4 riders attack them at Weathertop remember? The other five are somewhere else." Bryluen added softly.

Logan nodded and looked around. "Dahm... Ya know. I KNOW I read in one ahf them books where the other 5 Nazzies was at... But fer the life ah me I cant remember..." The major shrugged and headed out the round door. "Well Bryl. What route do you suggest?"

Hale followed beside him, "The fastest? You and Afanasi should be able to find it." she said and then put a hand on his fore arm, "Logan...I'm sorry for snapping at you the way I did earlier. It's just that...I firmly believe we shouldn't interfere with the storyline in the book too much."

O'Conner shrugged and looked around Hobbiton, trying to remember the layout of the Shire in his mind. "Yeah... Well... If in the book, they succeeded, and HERE they didn't, then we should prolly end up following the book anyhow," the ex-operator conceded. "YO! Alphabet! Cover the rear quarter," he called over his shoulder as he headed down the road.

Bry and Jax followed in the middle between the two men. Hale was scared and excited at the same time. Living out her favorite book, and yet knowing full well how powerful the Nazgul were and that they could very well die here, in this time on this planet.

Jax on the other hand was calm. She knew that they had a task to perform, and that was all she thought about. She noticed that the Tau'ri woman was concerned, but the Nox wasn't certain what to do in that sense.
