Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to Buffy the Vampire or Stargate SG-1 or
any of the pop culture I have mentioned. I do own the Moulin Rouge CD I'm
listening to now and now I am really in the mood to make this a musical,
but I won't as it would be pointless with the whole who can't hear the
music thing.
Authors notes: My exams are over and should be enjoying the sunshine but I have decided to stay pale and write more fan fiction.
Well this is the chapter that you may have been waiting for. First piece of action and to help inspire me I decided to watch some more Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The things I do for you guys. There are more explanations so that means a hell of a lot of talking and speech marks. Unless for some strange reason I have forgotten them all.
Thank you for all the reviews that I have received. For this I will do the dance of joy.

"Enough of this we're going up there to see what the hell is actually going on." Ordered Colonel O'Neill. He looked to Daniel for some sort of complaint and there he was right to assume he'd find one.
"Jack maybe we shouldn't leave these people. They're obviously afraid of something."
"Fine you stay here. Carter, Harris you check around the town. Teal'c you and me are gonna take the forest."
***
It didn't take Captain Carter or Xander along time to patrol the small village. Carter had tried finding some things out about their latest addition but Xander had been quite hostile towards giving away too many details about his past. He was hiding something within his jokes about the one Starbuck town of Sunnydale with its one decent place to go at night. She had also questioned him about how he managed to climb up the ranks so quickly and get in the SGC program. He had just said he was a fast leaner but she had the feeling that he had learnt from past experiences.
She pondered that there could be actually nothing about him. That he just was some guy from a small boring town that had just found fighting had come naturally to him just like working out complex sums came to her. Carter wasn't going to believe that though. No one was ever normal.
***
Teal'c and O'Neill wandered along the path within the forest. O'Neill had this annoying and very cliché feeling that they were being watched. A sound backed up his paranoia. The colonel traced the sound with his weapon and pointed at it.
"Hello there." A person was standing there. Of course O'Neill and Teal'c were already suspicious of this person since every villager was hiding below their homes. O'Neill and Teal'c raised their weapons at the man. "Nice to meet you too."
The young mans eyes changed from brown to a growing yellow that stared narrowly at the two Sg-1 members. His brow increased in size and became wrinkled with his teeth changing into the familiar shape described in horror novels.
"What big teeth you have Grandma." Quipped O'Neill
"The better to feast on your blood with." Replied the creature that obviously hadn't been reading enough of his fairy tales.
"I really don't think so." O'Neill shot several rounds from his P90 in to the vampire sending him flying through the air and landing on his back. "And it's the better to eat you with. What the hell was that Teal'c?"
"I don't believe I have ever seen such a species, but…." Teal'c was cut short by the scream coming the corpse running their direction.
"You're mortal weapons can not destroy me!" The vampire laughed at their fatal mistake. "What's that?" The naïve vampire asked.
Teal'c aimed his staff weapon at the vampire and fired one shot into the vampires' chest. The blow knocked the undead creature down but it got up again like few ever did. It smiled at them. The smile was interrupted when he realised that the blast had started a small fire on him, which was quickly engulfing his body. The vampires' skeleton turned to dust.
"Well that's new."
***
"So are you up for patrolling in the graveyard?" asked Xander as they approached it. He felt like he was regressing into his past walking alongside the gravestones. He remembered when it just was him and Buffy. He always tried to rush in and help her when she never needed it. Xander had always wanted to play Hero to her damsel in distress but instead he played the Zeppo that got in the way.
There had been that one time when Buffy had been the damsel on Halloween when everyone became his or hers costume. He had been the soldier, but afterwards he didn't realise how much it would affect him later in life.
Xander became curious about one of the fresh graves. There was a hole in the soil like someone had dug their way out of it. Like a vampire would have back home. He repeated in his head back home, as this was another planet on the otherside of the galaxy. It definitely was not home where the vampires lived.
"What are you looking at?" Carter walked over to the grave Xander was staring at.
"This." He pointed at the hole. Carter didn't understand what Xander was getting at so he knew was going to have to elaborate. He just wasn't sure how much. "It looks like someone has dug their way out of the grave."
"Someone was buried alive?"
"The problem is I doubt that. The other problem is I also doubt what else it could be so I'm on the verge of being very confused. That's why I'm waiting for a sign. Oh great that's not the sign I wanted. Excuse me one second."
Xander ran off very quickly. Major Carter tried to follow him but he was out of sight and maybe out of his mind.
***
Major Carter rushed to meet up with the Colonel and Teal'c that she had sighted not to far away.
"Carter, where's Harris?" Immediately he had noticed that the two were no longer teamed up.
"Sir, I'm not sure. He saw something then went running after it. He quite the fast runner sir I couldn't catch up."
"Great this all I need things that go bump in the night and missing persons."
The major just looked at her colonel with a very confused expression.
***
Xander jumped on to the vampire and grabbed on to his feet bring him down to the ground. The vampire retaliated by kicking Xander in the chest causing him to let go. The vampire crawled over to Xander who managed to shoot a single shot into the vampire. Of course he knew this wouldn't kill him but it did manage to piss the vampire off just a bit more. Xander held on to his weapon the best he could as the vampire tried to take it off him. The struggle caused the gun to be thrown away.
The human and the walking corpse scrambled to their feet. The person who was up first would have the advantage over the first move. The vampire was faster of course. It lunged at Xander who grabbed its arm and put his hand behind its neck. The vampire struggled to get free of his grip eventually it succeeded.
They continued to swap punches. Xander made contact more but the vampires made more of an impact. The vampire did a spinning kick knocking Xander to the ground. The vampire grabbed Xanders hair and brought his teeth to Xanders neck. Xander was never too keen on the idea of becoming a snack so he elbowed the vampire in the stomach then swept his feet from beneath him. Xander pulled out his knife and decapitated the bloodsucker. The body turned to dust.
"Damn vampires. Can't just leave me alone." Xander got off the ground and walked over to where his gun had landed during the fight. "New job, new planet, new mission, same pests." [I'm beginning to think I really am a demon magnet] he thought in his mind after he realised that he was talking to himself out loud. [Better get back to the team].
With the absence of his talking out loud he believed that he could hear someone else talk. He began to walk towards the sound of the talking. As he got closer he could hear some of the words. It sounded like someone was giving a speech to inspire the troops.
Xander noticed the gathering of vampires. He decided not to get too close or else they may have noticed his presence. The problem was he couldn't see whom they were listening to yet.
"…Go find what you can and make more of our kind." Xander finally saw the big demon standing in the centre orating to the vampires. It was a large demon with spikes all over its face. He didn't recognise it from any thing he had faced in Sunnydale. It was quite the sight to see vampires taking order from a demon. They normally hated each other with the demons despising the half-breeds. He always believed that was hypocritical since the demons were never full demons themselves.
Xander pulled back. There were too many vampires for him to fight after all he wasn't the slayer and even if he was there were far too many. He decided he was going to have to explain some things to the team if they were going to fight this thing. He wondered if they could.
***
Daniel Jackson noticed the return of his colleagues. Their new Captain Alexander Harris was not in their company. He couldn't help worry and wonder why.
"Why are there only three of you now?"
"We wish to discover that also. He ran away for no apparent reason." Teal'c answered the best that he could, but none of them had any real idea where Xander had disappeared to and until he returned, that's if he did, they would have a clue.
"Discover anything?" Daniel was the question guy. He wondered if he should have gone with them so he wouldn't have to be so inquisitive.
"Yeah just some thing that at first looked human then it revealed the fact that it had fanged, wanted blood and went up in flames when Teal'c shot it with his staff weapon. It was kinda like a vampire, but other then that, no this place is as normal as it gets." Daniel looked at him wondering whether to believe him and look gullible. Then again here he was on another planet with humans that are ancestors of humans from Earth hundreds of years ago.
"Hmm…interesting. Maybe vampires aren't actually a myth and are truly aliens that came through the Stargate along time ago and just happened to have a craving for human blood. This started off what is now the vampire myth…"
"…And a load of cheesy horror films." The captain rejoined the team and he knew that he couldn't disappear without a bombardment of questions to welcome his return.
"Where did you disappear to? And do you know something about all this?" Some how Xander had expected more to come but as soon as started telling his story he knew that there were far more to come. The only question he had for himself was how much he was going to tell.
"I went chasing after a vampire, like you do when you're on another planet."
"So that was a vampire. How the hell did that happen?"
"Usually when they drain someone blood and then the person drinks theirs before dropping dead, but I'm more bothered about why they are here."
"You know about the existence of vampires." Daniel wondered how he could have never come across it. After all he had read so many about myths and legends and while he had believed that to some extent that some of it was real he never considered this myth to be a reality.
"Unfortunately I can answer yes to that question."
"Do you care to elaborate for those in the audience who are still in the dark?"
"Okay which part do you want to know first? There's the truth about the vampire myth or how I came across it. The first one will help you understand a hell of a lot more if you hear that first but my experience with vampires includes action, adventure, drama, angst, mystery, horror, romance and of course comedy. I was always the comic relief guy."
"I always felt myself falling into that category." Said the colonel "We could start a group. Thursday okay for you? Wait actually…"
"Yeah I think we'll go with story one you two and swap witty remarks and sarcastic comments later." Daniel hurried there moment along.
"Fine then. I'll just go in to G-man mode then begin. Right then." He took a deep breath in while considering whether or not to put on the English accent and find some tweed but decided against it, as the joke would be wasted on them. The toughest bit was trying to remember something that he was told when he was sixteen and a bit busy looking at Buffy.
"Contrary to popular mythology this world did not begin as a paradise. Instead demons walked the Earth, as it was their hell. The time came though for them to leave and to make way for man. Apparently the last demon to leave our world fed on a human mixing their blood and creating a vampire. Of the vampires continue to feed spreading across the world.
"Why isn't the earth over run by vampires I hear you not ask but I'm assuming that you're thinking of it anyway." There were nods from the team who were sat around Xander like he was a guy telling a story to children eager to listen to the fairytale. "As long as there has been vampires there has been the vampire slayer. One girl in the entire world to hunt them. In each generation there is the chosen one she alone will fight the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness and prevent the swell of their numbers. She is the slayer.
"I happened to meet Buffy Summers when she came to my high school after burning down the gym at the last one she went to. She befriended me and Willow, my best friend since I could remember, after she saved our lives unfortunately she couldn't save my other best friends life Jesse. He was turned into a vampire and I staked him. The first vampire I ever staked was also my best friend, but that's enough of that angsty moment. Oh wait I forgot to say that each Slayer is assigned a Watcher to train her. Buffy had Giles he explained it all to us.
"So we learnt of the reality that everything that as children we told our selves couldn't possibly be real was actually real and on our doorsteps. Also on our doorstep was the Hellmouth. In the library where we spent much of our time researching demons it turned out the actual mouth of hell was right beneath our feet waiting to be opened. It also attracted lots of vampires and demons to our little Sunnydale.
"I spent five years on the Hellmouth fighting vampires, demons and some other things with my friends. With that came the action, the adventure, the angst, the drama, the romance, the fantasy, the comedy, the mystery and the horror, oh the horror."
"Interesting story."
"I think it's worthy of an Emmy."

So there you go. There are vampires on this planet. It wasn't going to be like this originally but the way it was going they were going to end up in an impossible situation to get out of and would probably end up getting killed which is never good for a first story if you're planning a series.
So tune in next time to find out some more stuff.
Oh and please review as it helps me write better.
