Chapter 13: "Minefields, Oh joy"
"So, ermmm…. Anyone know how to defuse a mine?" Xander commented weakly.
"Agito" Willow smiled as Xander dropped, the mine under his feet abruptly removed. (Agito: to put in motion)
"Neat" O'Neill commented, "Where did you send it?"
A muffled crump sounded in the distance followed by the faint shouting of Jaffa in the Goa'uld tongue.
Teal'c smiled, and turned to Willow, "I believe the phrase is 'evil' is it not?"
"Where did you send it?" Giles asked.
"Oh, just away" Willow replied, a wicked grin on her face.
"She dropped it in the pit underneath the toilets, judging by the shouting, they were occupied at the time" Teal'c corrected.
The two teams looked away from each other, biting their lips as they valiantly tried to control the urge to giggle. Five minutes later, they were able to discuss the situation they found themselves in.
"So, how the hell are we gonna get out of this then?" O'Neill asked, disgusted.
"Well we have no equipment to deal with mines with us…" Carter hesitated then looked at Willow.
"Ermm, okay, ah…" Willow concentrated, "animadverto latito arma!"
"Latin" Daniel commented, "See hidden weapon, I believe"
O'Neill shot him an odd look, "Perceive hidden weapon actually"
At Daniel and Carters odd looks he just commented "I did learn Latin during Groundhog day you know?"
"Groundhog day?" Buffy asked, her eyebrows raised.
"Long story" O'Neill replied, "but I'm still not 'perceiving' anything"
"I am" Willow commented, "Ferreti, I wouldn't step forwards if I were you"
Ferreti gulped, then took a slow, careful step backwards.
"So, what about the rest of us?" O'Neill asked.
Willow shrugged, "If I researched, we could find a spell that would allow all of us to see the mines, I could go back and look it up if you want?"
"Err… no, that's fine, we'll just follow in your footsteps" O'Neill hurriedly backed down, pretending not to notice the grins the teams were exchanging.
Grinning, they followed Willow, hacking their way through the forest.
