Author's note; I don't own anything to do with Buffy or Stargate. Just rub
it in why don't you! I never thought it would be so difficult to come up
with the name of a monster but it is. So if you get the joke there please
let me know or if you have any ideas what to call the main character thing
which is in the story you haven't read yet. I often get accused of being
obscure. Also all hail Airlia de Lioncourt for helping me edit, go read her
fanfic AFTER mine. So, please R&R! I've had too much coffee, sorry.
1 Lock Picking
1.1 Chapter one
The stargate shut off with its familiar whoosh and the four members of sg-1 took in their surroundings. They were at the top of a high hill with crystal blue mountains to their back and a lush green valley below them. To most it would have been one of the most peaceful places but to sg-1 it was just another rock to explore and not get killed on.
"Trees…haven't we seen trees before?" Jack commented walking down from the gate looking over the terrain.
"Jack, there could be some temples or villages away from the gate." Daniel commented waving his arms about as he spoke ignoring the fact that the DHD was barely recognisable covered in weeds. "Just because it doesn't look like there is anyone here now doesn't mean there couldn't have been some sort of culture which has died out. We really need to look around." Daniels impassioned argument fell on deaf ears. The other members of the team had lost count at the number of times they'd heard this argument.
"Sure lets go looking for trouble like it never tries to find us." Jack answered.
"Sir, I did get some unusual energy readings I'd like to investigate. It could just be the magnetic pull of the planet but I'd liked to check it out." Sam's speech was more restrained but her clear blue eyes brightened as the scientist in her awoke. That did get a reaction. It wasn't favouritism just that anything she was interested in could be a weapon or something shiny, Jack thought smiling down at her.
"All right campers lets move out. Teal'c take point." They headed out down the middle of the valley the most likely place for a settlement to be. "I will endeavour to look scary, O'Neil." Teal'c answered leading his team mates into a foreign and perhaps hostile world.

Moving with more speed than the demon expected Buffy swung the broad sword high above her head bringing it crashing down into its horned head, embedding it there. It fell to its knees, taking the sword with it just as its mate moved in at her from behind clutching her neck between its green oily arms, choking the life out of her lungs. Just for a mill-second she thought about letting it win but the sight of Dawn cowering behind a tree dispelled them. Hitting the demon with as much force as her neck would allow she head butted it with the back of her head and shoved her elbow into its side forcing it away, giving her enough time to pull the sword from the other and swing round cutting through the middle of the monsters body.
Finished with them Buffy looked over to where Xander and Anya were fending of a band of vampires. They managed to stake two before she moved in as she did she noticed a strange tattoo between all their eyes, the same as the horny monsters.
"Hey, didn't anyone one tell you…" catching sight of Buffy the vampires turned and ran off not waiting to hear her witty one liner.
"Go after them." Anya instructed helping Xander brush off his clothes. "We're alright." Knowing that she was telling the truth Buffy gave them one last look before she ran, hunting the pair left. Catching sight of them she jumped vaulting herself off of one of the tombstones giving her enough momentum to reach and tackle one to the ground, its friend not waiting around to help.
Struggling the vampire managed to get on top of her, its pale yellow eyes zeroing in on her neck.
"That wasn't very nice running off like that in the middle of conversation."
Rolling over a few times Buffy managed to get the upper hand, straddling the vampire and taking Mr. Pointy out of her jacket.
"Prepare to met your maker." She laughed raising her arm getting ready to bring it down.
"I already have." It cried before turning into a pile of dust below her.
Hearing a noise behind her she leaped up ready for battle.
"Hey, Buff. Me friendly. No kill." Xander joked jumping away from her but aware that for all her shortest, blondest and cuteness she was by definition a killing machine. Okay that was my serious thought of the day, he mused. Getting ready to crack another joke he stopped catching the sight of her face.
"What's the matter?" he asked gravely looking to the ground were the vampire had been slain.
The two different monsters fighting together had reminded her of Adam, making her worried and for some reason she didn't think the vamp had been referring to his sire when he'd mention meeting his maker. After what happen with the last god she fought with Buffy had a bad feeling about this. Forcing a smile she answered, "I don't know. That vamp sorta' spooked me. Just before he went poof he…he…."
"What?" Dawn asked walking over with Anya. Wanting to protect her sister she faked an even bigger smile. "Oh, nothing. Hadn't we better get a move on if we're going to make the movie?"
"Yeah, but what are we going to do with Mr and Mrs Horny over there." Dawn asked looking back to where the two bodies lay. "We can't just leave them there."
"Sure we can. Their Benan'jerrians." Everyone looked at Anya blankly. "They melt after they die." She concluded.
"My kind of demon. You don't have to clean up after them. So I don't think I'm in the mood for a monster flick after that." Xander smiled wrapping one arm around Anya and the other Buffy.
"I vote for a chick flick. I don't really like them but I know you guys do."
Hitting him Anya contradicted. "This coming from the guy who cried for three hours after watching 'Beaches'."
"Me manly. No cry at movies." He argued his voice getting higher.
"Yeah, and didn't you cry when we watched Beauty and the Beast when we thought that he was dead. Oh and when Han Solo got trapped in Carbonite. And…."
He had the good grace to look sheepish interrupting her. "God I love that movie." Wiping away an imaginary tear.
***
The last vampire ran until he made it back to his God. Moving through the labyrinth of tunnels he nodded to the vampires guarding the entrance of the hall bowing when he finally came before the God. "Why have you come back here without your comrades?" a deep powerful voice asked without turning around from the book on his shrine he was bent over.
"It was the slayer. I was lucky to get out of there alive." Laughing the god slammed the book closed moving around to face the vampire looking like any normal man.
"You are were to be my first prime but you did not stay to die in battle in my name. Unbeliever." The god moved down the steps stopping before the vampire.
"As my Jaffa you should have stayed. You have brought disgrace upon your brothers in arms." Smiling slowly he decreed.
"You must be punished." The God's voice had changed deepening still vibrating from the power inside him. With that statement he put his hand encased in an elaborate hand ring over the vampires face his own eyes glowing flashing a bright light for an instant. At that moment a ghostly yellow light came from his hand forcing its way into the vampires head distorting his image and causing him to fall to his knees. Looking around his follower's - vampire, demon and human - he told them. "You will find that my methods of punishment are not as quick or painless as the slayer. I will say it again." With each word the light from his hand became brighter causing the vampire to fall apart piece by piece crumbling in several long agonising minutes, which usually took mill-seconds.
"Here me for I am your god. Kill the slayer, find the key and you will have everything your fragile little hearts desire."
***
Jack walked up to his two-team mates and stood behind them. They were crouched over a stone that a pale grey light emanated from. That was enough for him to feel uneasy but being ignored by them didn't make it any better.
"Alright," he shouted causing them to jump. "We better head back to the gate. I don't want to spend the night with a strange glowing rock. It reminds me to much of the seventies."
Daniel leaned back from the small inscription at the base of the stone, "Jack, I would really like to finish this. It's obvious from the markings that this stone is somehow a marker for the ancients since it's similar to the markings I found on others planets with Norse god influences and the stargate itself. This could be a major discovery."
Screwing up his eyes Jack commented, "Everything is a major discovery with you. Remember when I taught you how to balance a spoon on your nose."
"Yeah," Daniel answered not following were Jack was going.
"Well you sad that was a major discovery! Unless this thing can stop the Goa'uld were out of here."
"I think it could help." Carter said, her straightforward voice cutting through the argument causing both men to turn to her. "What?" they chorused.
Dropping her instruments she stood up, "The energy signature is similar to that of naquada however form what I've worked out this metal has been changed on a molecular level therefore changing the type of energy it is releasing. It seems to have a symbiotic relationship with the planet, each drawing energy from the other. I've never seen anything like it." She finished reverently running her hand down its smooth face.
"Sure we have," Jack disagreed, "the Goa'uld. And look at how will that turned out"
"O'Neil." Shouted Teal'c charging towards them something flashing in his hand.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"I discovered this in the under growth and thought it would be of interests." He handed over the lone rectangular piece of mental to Jack.
"I don't see your point." Jack said as he ran his hand over the mental handing it to Daniel.
"What about it?" he asked.
"Turn it over, DanielJackson."
The group suddenly became still not believing what they were seeing. In Daniels hand was a licence plate for, "Sunnydale?! Where the hell is Sunnydale?" Jack demanded.
Teal'c looked up as a stronger wind rushed across his face the tightening of his eyes betraying concern on his board face, alerted by following his moment Sam did the same the two men still examining the license plate.
"Sir, I think we have a problem."
Jack looked up, the sky had darkened to the same new intense grey the stone was projecting.
"Alright everyone to the gate." Gathering their gear as quickly as they could it was too late. Lighting shot out of the stone connecting with that coming from the sky. The air became electrified scraping against their skin as they began to lose consciousness the last thing they remembered was Jack's indignant. "Sonofabitch." Then darkness.
