Chapter 15: Big Bads

"Okay, so what's the sitch?" Buffy asked once they finally reached the Briefing room.

"Excuse me?" O'Neill replied.

"Well, the J-offs that Be would hardly have dropped me such a subtle hint to come here unless there was a major big bad to deal with so who's the who? Where's the big bad?"

"His name is Anubis, and he has amassed more power than any other system lord in history" Teal'c replied, a hint of worry in his voice.

Buffy blinked, "Anubis? I got kicked out of the PTB club 'cos I couldn't play nice with the other kids, Anubis?"

"Indeed, that is the being of which I speak" Teal'c replied.

"Only, it kinda didn't take" O'Neill put in, "he is still largely incorporeal, just lacks a lot of the god-like attributes, you know omnisince"

"You mean omniscience, Colonel" Carter added with a smile.

Buffy and O'Neill replied simultaneously, "I knew that!"

"Ahh, excuse me" Daniel butted in, "How did you know about Anubis, it isn't exactly public knowledge"

"Read about it whilst researching back in Sunnyhell"

"Read about it? Where? No text I know of mentions it" Daniel was getting curious, to put it mildly. What kind of book has events that occurred way beyond the Tau'ri's ability to see them written down?

"Oh, in the Pergamon codex" Buffy replied, offhand.

Daniels draw dropped, and he sat stunned as he realized Buffy meant it, "The Pergamon Codex?"

O'Neill laughed and Carter and the scobbies smothered chuckles, losing their fight as Teal'c replied, "Have you been breathing helium, Daniel Jackson?"

"Yeah, it's a book of prophecy we commonly refer to, it mainly covers…" Buffy signed, and cursed inwardly. She remembered the exact page she had seen Anubis mentioned.

"Xander" she said slowly

"Yeah, buffster?"

"We have a prophecy" Buffy replied.

"Shit, I hate it when that happens"

"Excuse me? Prophecy?" O'Neill added, his tone disbelieving.

"Prophecy" Buffy and Xander confirmed, their tones resigned.
