X-Ville 2: Armageddon
Chapter Two.
Westchester, New York.
Jason stepped out of the shower and proceeded towards the closet. Grabbing a white colored t-shirt he placed it on then pulled his other clothes out of the dresser. Once he was fully dressed he headed downstairs to join the older mutants who were going to the movies.
Lunch had gone ok, more or less. After riding the elevator up to the mansion the teens and Professor Xavier disembarked from it. Coming into the cafeteria area was Xavier first, followed by the rest of his staff, Clark and Rogue, then Jason. After getting their food the three teens headed for a table to be with the others. Kitty winced when she saw Pitor show up a little while later, bruised and bandaged up.
"Oh my god Pitor, are you ok?" the concerned teen asked boyfriend. Pitor nodded as she helped him sit down. "Believe me, it's not as bad as it looks." the big Russian told her as he was getting comfortable.
"Who did this to you?" Pitor pointed over to the other end of the table. Jason ducked his head when he saw Kitty's angry scowl pointed in his direction.
It was now later that Clark, Rogue, Pitor, Kitty, Jubilee, Kurt, and Jason were now loaded up in one of the Xavier's vans used for field trips and were heading for the movie theatre. Logan and Storm ended up as chaperones. The seven were talking about which movie they wanted to see with Miss Munroe making some suggestions and Logan driving while puffing on a cigar. He had his own plans of heading off to one of the local taverns once the others were dropped off at the movies.
Once they arrived at the theatre each teen departed from the van; Ororo (A/N: I have absolutely no idea if I'm spelling that right. If not then will someone please let me know?) handed out money to each of them. Logan placed the van into drive and after promising to come back for everyone around 8:30, took off.
About 3 hours north of Smallville, Kansas.
Thanks to the Air Force, SG teams 1 and 3 arrived in Metropolis in no time about a C-130 Hercules transport. After the plane landed they unloaded their vans and began the rest of the trip towards Smallville.
SG-1 occupied the lead van while SG-3 took the second. Inside the first Daniel and Teal'c were in the back. Daniel was reviewing some of the information about the mission while Teal'c was meditating. Col. O'Neill drove with Major Carter riding shotgun.
Carter was silent most of the trip. She rarely spoke unless some spoke directly to her. Otherwise, she kept to herself. Returning to Metropolis and then from there, going to the town where her ex-husband and daughter lived was proving to be an emotional period for her. There were memory flashes every now and then from her past. Some of her with her husband and daughter, some with just her and Gabe, and a few others that included her father, Jacob, when he'd come to visit them.
"Carter, do we turn up here?" Sam was brought out of her trance at the colonel's question. She quickly checked the map as she'd been navigating the trip since they'd left Metropolis. "Um, yes sir. We need to make a right then another left." The colonel only nodded at her response and left her be. He knew what was happening with Sam and knew that she would only want to talk about it when she was ready.
The major's teammates had noticed a change in their colleague since they'd left the mountain and up until now had said nothing. Teal'c and Dr. Jackson had talked amongst themselves though not much. They were both equally worried about their friend. Both of them wanted to try and help her if they could but neither war sure of how to approach her about it. Finally it was Teal'c that broke the unnerving silence. "Major Carter, is their something wrong?"
Sam winced at the question. She knew it was a matter of time before one of her friends had noticed the change in her behavior. She'd hoped that no one would said anything for a little longer but decided that it was time to fess up. "Yeah Teal'c, something is wrong."
"Sam, what is it?" Daniel asked his friend.
"Well, this is going to be easy to explain." Carter began, glancing over momentarily at her CO before turning towards the back of the van. "Before I was a member of the Stargate Project, I was married…"
"Married?" Daniel asked, surprised.
"…yeah Daniel, married. I also had a daughter, Chloe Sullivan."
"Chloe Sullivan, as in the same one we received the e-mail's from?" Sam nodded.
Daniel was shocked. He had no idea that Sam even had a child but knew of her previous marriage. The marriage was something that wasn't discussed very often in the small group as the memories were quite painful for Sam.
Major Carter turned away from her friends and stared back out the van's window. 'If I make it through this, god, I hope I can make some peace with Chloe.' she thought.
Smallville, Kansas
"So Chloe, do you have any information for me?" Lex asked. He'd been pestering the blonde reporter all night for information that she might have to his father's whereabouts.
"No Lex." Chloe replied. She was really getting tired of Lex's continued questions. "It's the same as it was the last time you asked." She continued to type some on her computer trying to hack into Luthorcorp's files. Even with some of the information that Lex had provided, such as a certain back door or a little spot here and there, she still was having no success. "Look Lex, why don't you go home? If we find something then I'll call you first thing, ok?"
Lex still seemed a little wary but nodded. "Fine." He turned around and left the Torch as Pete watched him go. "I don't trust him."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Pete, you've never trusted anybody with a last name of Luthor."
Pete glumly sat down in a chair. "I know. But what it Lex has some kind of motive here?" He turned to face her and the computer screen. "What if he planned the kidnapping just so he could take over his father's company?"
Chloe turned to her friend. "Pete, that's absolutely the worst idea you could ever come up with!" She got up from the computer and grabbed her things. "Look, just because you've got some grudge with Lex doesn't mean you should go knocking him like that. He's been really kind to all of us, including you of all people!" And with that, Chloe Sullivan slammed the door to the Torch and headed for her house.
Pete sat there for a second, dumbfounded. "Was it something I said?" he asked aloud.
Westchester, New York
The movie finally over, the students and their teacher waited outside the theatre for Logan to show back up.
Rogue and Clark were standing next to one another, Clark occasionally whispering something into the brunette's ear causing her to giggle uncontrollably. Kitty and Pitor were just a few feet behind the two holding hands and just enjoying the cool night's air and one another's company. John, Pitor and Bobby were standing near the door way of the theatre talking amongst themselves with Jubilee. Jason was leaning calmly against a parking lot light minding his own business taking in the surroundings.
Everyone was brought out of their thoughts when they saw Logan careening through the parking lot in the van. He stopped up in front of the theatre. "Get in." He ordered them. No one argued with the Wolverine as the van pulled away and back to the mansion at higher than normal speeds.
Wolverine careened a little in and out of traffic. He might've had a healing factor as his ability but alcohol still a little longer to go through his system. He wasn't completely drunk, mind you, but he was buzzing extremely well. "Logan, do you want me to drive?" Storm asked. Logan turned to her before pulling the van over to the emergency lane. "Yeah, sure, whatever." The two got out and switched seats and once again were off towards Xavier's.
Tartarus, Home planet for the Kull Warriors and launching point for Anubis' fleet.
One day before launch.
Anubis continued to make his plans for his upcoming attack on the Tau'ri. He planned to make them pay severely for the losses he'd suffered at their hands. He, several lesser Goa'uld, and his First Prime continued to argue on. Anubis stood back as he watched his First Prime arguing with on of the lesser Goa'ulds that occupied. The First Prime wanted to send in the Jaffa warriors instead of Anubis' Kull warriors. He wanted them to feel like they had a sense of purpose.
"Enough!" Anubis roared. He raised his hand device and fired a wave of energy at the Jaffa, who was thrown across the room. "We will send in the Kull warriors first." He told everyone in the room, his eyes glowing. "The Jaffa will follow." The first prime quickly rose to a kneeling position. "Yes my lord." he told him, trying not to sound frightened of his god. "Everyone, leave, now!" Each person in the room, Goa'uld, Jaffa, or slave, left quickly. Anubis pressed a small button on a console sealing the doors to the chambers.
Turning from the console he headed for a small gold adorned box that lied on a nearby table. Opening it, he looked at the box's contents.
Inside it was a small device. It was red colored with a center that began to glow steadily as Anubis wavered over the device. Anubis smiled. "Soon, with my new host, I shall fuse my self with this weapon." He brought his right hand over the device and touched it, almost affectionately. Closing the box, he headed off to another part of his base but his mind was on what the little golden box contained.
A Guyver unit.
A hotel on the outskirts of Smallville, Kansas.
SG-1 and SG-3 arrived at the hotel without any problems. The Marines took a room next to SG-1's. Inside their room, Col. O'Neill was planning their next event's for the day. Dr. Jackson was still reviewing some of the information the student's had sent him earlier. Teal'c was in a chair meditating, even though he didn't need to anymore because he was without a symbiote.
Major Carter sat on her own bed with a laptop. On it was a report she'd been meaning to write and turn in to the general before they'd left. She'd planned on finishing it before they'd left but forgotten all about it.
There was another window open on her computer that she would click occasionally while trying to type. On it were pictures of her, Chloe, and Gabe. One file contained about twelve pictures, taken back from a Christmas many years ago. Sam smiled as she admired the smile on her daughter's face as she opened up one of her presents.
Sam clicked on a few more pictures. One of them was when Chloe was born. Sam was there, along with Gabe, and Sam's father, Jacob. Jacob was holding a very small and very new born Chloe while Gabe and Sam looked on. A few tears strained down her face. She regretted her decision of divorcing her husband and leaving her daughter. She couldn't believe that she'd done it and now here she was in Smallville. Tomorrow, she, along with SG-1, would be going to talk to Chloe and her friend. She only hoped the meeting would go well.

"Unscheduled off world activiation!!" rang over the speakers. General Hammond, who'd been in his office chatting to his granddaughters, ran down to the control room. Once there, he watched as the inner dial of the Stargate spun in a clockwise direction as each of the seven chevrons lit up.
"Close the iris!" General Hammond ordered. The sergeant on duty quickly placed his hand on the palm scanner. The trinium-composed iris slid shut. Finally, the inner dial stopped and the seventh chevron locked into place. The wormhole's kawoosh could be heard behind the iris. "Are we getting a signal, sergeant?"
"Not yet, sir." the young man replied. "Wait, were receiving a signal." The computer began to analyze it. "It's Master Bra'tac's signal, sir."
"Open the iris." General Hammond ordered. The sergeant once again placed his hand on the scanner. The iris slid open to reveal the event horizon of the wormhole. Defense teams in the gate room stood on the ready in case something bad were to happen.
From the gate came a solitary figure. He was Jaffa, older in that aspect as evident by his gray hair and goatee. He looked around the room and at the defense teams before lying his eyes on Hammond. "Hammond of Texas, may I take leave in your sanctuary?"
"Of course, Master Bra'tac." Hammond told him through the microphone. "Defense teams, stand down." The men did as they were told. The Stargate snapped off as the wormhole dissipated. The general made his way into the gate room as Bra'tac slowly walked down the ramp. "Master Bra'tac, do what pleasure do we owe this visit?"
"I am afraid I bring grave news." the old Jaffa master began. "It is about Anubis. He plans to attack earth in one day's time."
