Author's note: I realized as I was writing this that in the seris Cronus was defeated. Since I'm too far into the story to go back and change it, its going to have to stay. I'll try to avoid any other future errors. Thanks for your understanding!
Chapter 17: On the Threshold
Cronus and his Jaffa first prime looked at the four senshi, uncertain. The senshi looked out the window, watching the colors as the ship sped through hyperspace. There was an uncomfortable silence.
"So, how fast did you say we are traveling?" Uranus asked.
"Twenty times the speed of light," the Jaffa informed her in a flat tone. The senshi nodded, returning to looking out the window.
"This is amazing," Jupiter looked around, her eyes wide. The Jaffa showing them around the ship only raised his eyebrow, slightly amused. Pluto, Mercury, and Mars looked around as well, but Pluto kept an eye of the Jaffa that accompanied them. Something made them uneasy about the Gou'ald and they remained on guard.
" Come on!" Jupiter ran ahead, even the Jaffa that was with them had to run to catch up with her. They went the command room where Ba'al was.
"Look," Jupiter pointed out the window at the colors that swirled by them.
"Pretty!" Mars ran up to the window, followed by the other senshi. "What..?" she turned to Ba'al.
"We are traveling through hyperspace at twenty times the speed of light," the Jaffa informed them. They looked impressed by that, continuing to stare out the window.
Cronus's ship jumped out of hyperspace. Despite the attempts of the Jaffa to warn them, all the senshi fell to the floor hard, taken by surprise.
"Oww…." Venus groaned , carefully getting up.
"Oh, be quiet," Saturn scolded. The others rolled their eyes, picking themselves off the floor with the help of the Jaffa. Cronus laughed a little to himself, surprised.
"So, now we wait," Neptune remarked, looking out the window at a planet that was nearby.
"Be warned-" the Jaffa started but it was too late. The ship jumped out of hyperspace, hurling four surprised senshi to the floor.
"Thanks for the warning," Jupiter said, getting up. She helped Mercury and Mars up as the Jaffa helped Pluto up.
"Hey, what's that?" Mars pointed out the window at the other Gou'ald ship.
"Cronus," Ba'al said, looking where she indicated. " Anubis will be joining us shortly. Come, we must leave now," he said, rising from his seat. They accompanied Cronus and his first prime down a hallway to a large empty room with a ring on the floor. Ba'al and the Jaffa stood inside the ring and the senshi followed suit.
"What..?" Mercury touched her earring and her glasses covered her eyes. At that moment, Ba'al touched a jewel on his wrist and three rings came down from the ceiling and fell around them. The next thing they knew, they were in an unfamiliar room, the rings falling into the floor.
"Where are we?" Mercury looked around at the symbols covering the walls.
"It is a neutral meeting place. Here is where we will be meeting Anubis," Ba'al said, not turning to look at her. The senshi looked around at each other, slightly uneasy as Ba'al and the Jaffa lead them down the hallways.
Ba'al in truth was uncomfortable in their presence, especially near Sailor Pluto who gaze seemed to tear through his, as if she could see in his eyes his deepest, darkest secrets. Ba'al shook his head as they left the ring room.
As soon as SG-1, Sailor Moon, Sailor Kakyu, and the Starlights stepped out of the gate, they encountered the Jaffa guard. Sailor Moon made quick work of them with her moon wand and they quickly made their way to where Anubis was preparing his fleet.
"Wow...." Star Maker exclaimed as they sat hidden on the ridge overlooking the plain where Anubis's ships where. Teal'c raised an eyebrow at the remark.
"Ok, kids, here's the plan. We are hitching a ride with Anubis on the mothership," Jack said, checking his weapons.
"It's that simple?" Sailor Kakyu asked, looking surprised.
"Kids?" Star Fighter said at the same time, looking insulted.
"Shut up, Fighter," Star Healer snapped, still looking at the Gou'ald ships. Kakyu, Star Maker, and SG-1 glanced at them and they fell silent. Sailor Moon giggled but stopped when she realized that no one else was.
"We need to find ring transports to get into the ship," Daniel said, adjusting his glasses. "Selmek gave us some isotope to get us by the sensers undetected for a while."
"Alright, lets move out," Jack said cheerfully. The rest of SG-1 and Kakyu smiled, the three Starlights looked nervous.
It took them a few hours of carefully making their way to Anubis's fortress, avoiding Jaffa patrols and other traffic that went to and fro between the Stargate and the fortess.
"Its...big," Maker said in a small voice, looking up at Anubis's fortess.
"Right...." Fighter nodded.Sailor Moon, Kakyu and Healer remained silent, as did SG-1.
"Lets go,kids," Jack said, leading the way in, Teal'c, Daniel, and Sam right behind him.
"Onward," Kakyu smiled, following with Sailor Moon right beside her.The three Starlights looked at each other for a moment and followed.
Chapter 18: Anubis's Pride
Anubis watched the last of the troops load onto the ship. He had more power then any other Gou'ald System Lord in his grasp, not even the Asgard or the Tok'ra could match him now. The Tau'ri didn't have a chance.
A long time ago, he had been rejected by the System Lords, powerless while they warred amoung themselves and the Asgard ruled as the supreme power in the universe, enforcing a treaty that protected the planets, including Earth. The Tau'ri had taken down many of the System Lords after they started to use their Stargate, one by one. They had become a threat that needed to be dealt with. Many other of the System Lords had failed to elimate the Tau'ri and had been taken out, their empires destroyed. They had been weak. He was not. He had more power then all the System Lords together, the Asgard were no longer the dominant force and the Tok'ra were all but wiped out. He would be god and master over the universe.
