Jack walked inside, down the stairs to the basement. Teal'c and Buffy had finished up practice. She was laughing at something the Jaffa had said, and she practically glowed. He could see what Daniel saw in her. Daniel was brooding, not taking his eyes off of Buffy. Jack went to stand in Daniel's line of sight. "I'm sorry. I was wrong, and you were right, and I just want you to be happy."
Daniel looked at the Colonel in disbelief. "What?"
"I do not repeat myself." Jack growled. He turned to face Teal'c and Buffy, "Hey Buffy, I challenge you to hand to hand combat tomorrow. You game?" Buffy wiped her face with the towel in her hand. "You bet, Colonel Sir."
That first night sleeping arrangements had to be rearranged. Buffy gave Sam her room, preferring to stay with Daniel, and Teal'c and Jack slept in sleeping bags on air mattresses down in the basement.
Jack had contacted General Hammond every day. He had also called Major Davis for a team to be close by at the nearest military base, just in case. Daniel and Buffy had patrolled for 2 nights in a row with no more glowy eyed vamps making an appearance. Jack, Sam and Teal'c had followed each night, familiarizing themselves with Buffy's routine and the cemetery, and being impressed by her physical skills as she dispatched vampires. Only that morning she had trounced Jack at hand to hand, but Teal'c was still the winner in their daily staff fighting. Dawn had more than enough homework help with Sam around to be used as a soundboard. Daniel had learned a lot of Celtic/witch lore, and was going home with a book that Willow and Tara had given him. During the days, Jack and Giles made final modifications to the plan, hoping there were no holes. The two teams had meshed and become a unit.
When it was fully dark on the fourth evening, Daniel and Buffy headed to the cemetery. Sam, Teal'c, Xander, Willow and Tara were in the van to see if they could locate Kek's hideout. Daniel was connected to Jack and Sam with earpieces and radios. Jack was skulking around, armed to the teeth, following Daniel and Buffy as back up, which made Daniel feel a little better about the whole plan.
Buffy was alert, listening for vamps, and Daniel was walking behind her, admiring the gentle sway of her derriere. All of the sudden his earpiece crackled to life, "We're looking for vampires, quit admiring her ass!" Jack said, humor evident in his voice. Daniel snickered, and Buffy swung around to look at him, question in her eyes. "Just Jack." Daniel smiled.
"Last time they came from the northern part of the cemetery, so we'll start there." Buffy said, when all of the sudden 2 vamps from opposite directions rushed out of the darkness. Buffy had a stake in each hand and impaled them at the same time. Three more vampires came at her and she spun kicked one, using her crossbow on the second, and when the third came closer she staked him. The one she had kicked jumped back up, punching her in the face, making her fall. As it bent over her, Daniel pulled out his 9mm and shot it in the back, causing it to explode. Buffy got to her feet, brushing herself off. "Thanks!" she smiled, grabbing his jacket and pulling him in for a kiss. She was close enough to hear Daniel's earpiece crackle to life again, "For crying out loud, get a room." Buffy laughed, then stiffened, looked at Daniel and said, "Now."
Daniel grabbed his radio, "Now, Now, Now!" He could hear Sam and Jack reply, "Understood." Three glowy-eyed vamps slithered into the clearing. Daniel and Buffy stood back to back, trying to keep the vamps in view as they circled.
"Come, come Slayer. You cannot defeat us. We are immortal, children of the gods." The vampires kept trying to find an opening, when Jack, all in black, stepped into the clearing.
"Ok, I'm bored now." Using his zat, he made 2 disappear, and killed the third. "I was wondering when you would make an appearance Jack." Buffy said, using her boot to roll the dead vamp on its back to get a closer look. All of the sudden a fourth vamp rushed out, punched Buffy, knocking her out. He grabbed her and ran back into the dark woods.
"Buffy!" Daniel raced into the dark for a few yards before Jack tackled him. Jack wrestled with a desperate Daniel for a few seconds before Daniel saw the tracker Jack was waving in his face. "Oh."
"If you are done rolling on the ground Colonel O'Neill and Dr. Jackson, perhaps we should track Buffy Summers now." Said Teal'c from behind them. "Yep." Jack said, pulling Daniel out of the grass. The three of them trotted into the darkness, following the tracking device monitoring Buffy's heartbeat.
Buffy regained consciousness while being dumped on the ground. She smelled a wood fire, and heard screeching noises from her right. She sat up, and was held down by vamps with glowy eyes, while the black-cloaked alien was watching her from a chair.
"You know that they frown on fires in the park." She said, figuring out that it had made its' 'home away from home' in the abandoned picnic shelters on the north side of the park.
"Still so brave in the face of inevitable defeat. I am going to make you my queen and we shall spawn millions of children to take over the world." Kek hissed angrily at her.
"What kind of name is Kek?" Buffy wondered out loud. "Sounds like the noise a chicken would make." The alien jerked to his feet, using his hand device which glowed, placing it close to her forehead, causing her to scream. The night came alive with gunfire and the whine of zats. Kek grabbed Buffy, dragging her over to the other side of the fire, shrieking orders at his vampires.
Seeing the glow of the fire ahead, Jack, Teal'c and Daniel burst into the clearing. Sam was already there, protected by an invisible shield that Tara and Willow had made. Buffy was on her knees, staring defiantly at the goa'uld who pointed a hand device at her forehead. Daniel felt like his heart had literally stopped in his chest. He and Jack stepped into the light, Teal's beside them. They were greeted by hissing vamps, and Kek.
"Welcome Taur'i," its eyes traveled to Teal'c, "Sho-va," it spat. Teal'c gracefully inclined his head, eyes never leaving Buffy's face. "Well Taur'i, you have a front row seat to the birth of my queen." He leaned to his left and brought up a wriggling, hissing goa'uld larvae in his hand. Now Buffy was concerned. "There is absolutely no way that you are putting that disgusting thing inside me!" she stated firmly, keeping her eyes on it. "Be Silent." Kek said, slapping her.
Jack stepped closer, saw Buffy's face and made a decision based on something that Sam had said earlier. He bent quickly, pulled the knife out of his boot and threw it through the goa'uld force field into his forehead, killing it instantly. It collapsed, dropping the larvae to the ground, causing Buffy to scramble back. The clearing erupted into zat fire as Daniel, Sam and Jack took care of the vampires. Teal'c fried the larvae with his staff weapon.
Daniel ran over to Buffy, as she got up, wobbling slightly. He grabbed her tightly, feeling her shake. "It's okay." He murmured, smoothing her hair and holding her.
Sam walked over to the pottery bowl, "Sir, there are some more larvae in here." "Sweet." Jack started walking over to the container when another voice came out of the dark.
"Everybody Freeze! N.I.D." Five men in black, with masks came out of the trees. Everyone raised their hands. "We'll take everything back with us Colonel O'Neill." The leader stated, swaggering over to Jack.
"Gee Williamson, how did I know that something slimy like this would happen." Jack said sarcastically.
Suddenly Buffy came alive in a flurry of spins and kicks, taking out two of the NID agents. Sam and Teal'c took advantage and used their zats to stun the rest, while Jack cold cocked Williamson. "Ow." he said shaking his hand. Buffy looked at the agents on the ground, "Oops, my bad." She looked at Jack, "Did I do the right thing?"
"Oh yeah. Excellent work." Jack said with satisfaction. "Indeed." Teal'c said. "Sam, Teal'c, tie these clowns up and let's stash them in their vehicle. Daniel, call Davis and have that back up team come and take everything else away. Then take Buffy and go home." Jack walked over to truss up Williamson before he came to.
