Previous chapter...

"Well this demon is trying to ally himself with these beings, they call themselves the Goa'uld or something like that." He said. Four heads turned to him shock. One eyebrow went up and four voices shouted...

"WHAT!"

"Oh great, vacations over" Came Jacks sarcastic remark.

On with the story...

"Ok see here that is impossible... there are no Goa'ulds on Earth" Jack said. Suddenly he remembered something and turned to Daniel. "There isn't anymore Seth's on Earth is there?" He asked

"I really don't know, the only reason we found out about Seth was because of a cult." He turned to Leo. "Do you know the name of the Goa'uld he has teamed up with?"

"Yeah they said his name was something like Apophi... Apathis." Teal'c interrupted Leo.

"Apophis"

"Yeah that was it"

"Wait... now see that is impossible" Jack said. "We have killed him way too many times. We blew him up once... no twice... I've lost count," he said putting his head in his hands.

"So it seems we are not the only ones keeping secrets" Phoebe said with a smile. "What aren't you telling us?"

"It's classified." Sam said vaguely

"Yeah well so is our secret." Piper shouted getting angry. "You know ours, and seeing how string that demon was you sure as hell can't beat without the power of three."

"I'm sorry... what?" Daniel said confused.

"Oh... umm the power of three. Three most powerful witches in the world... The Charmed ones... the power of three" Phoebe said in a rushed explanation of their destiny.

"Now tell us so we can help you" Piper nearly shouted.

"Fine but you have to remember that it is classified." Jack said hoping he would not get into to too much trouble. "The Goa'uld are greasy, assed parasitic aliens who take control by force. They pose as Gods and enslave thousands of humans all over the universe. They humans as hosts."

"They have also tried to destroy Earth a few times as well" Sam continued. "They are ruthless and merciless, and kill anybody who gets in their way. They can live for thousands of years, and so far we have been able to keep them under control and away from Earth, so to speak."

"Hey wait a sec. You know who we are... who are you?" Phoebe asked realising that they knew no names.

"I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill, two L's, that is Major Samantha Carter, Dr Daniel Jackson, and the tall and silent one is Te... Murray" He said using Teal'cs Alias just in case.

"Ok this may just be me... but when did the Air force deal with aliens?" Paige asked.

"Well when they found the Star..."

"I don't think they need to know about that Daniel" Jack said cutting him off from talking about the Stargate. "We are already going to be in deep with General Hammond they don't need to know anything else."

"Yes they do Jack." Daniel said trying to persuade the stubborn Colonel. "They are going to find out anyway even if we don't tell them."

"He is right sir" Sam said agreeing with Daniel.

"Fine" Jack said defeated

"Like I was saying, the air force got involved when we found this alien device that can transport you to different planets. It is called the Stargate." Daniel finished.

"Wait, do you actually go to other planets?" Phoebe asked amazed.

"Yeah... on a weekly basis." Jack said to Phoebe. She looked amazed. He turned to Sam. "Maybe we should call General Hammond and give him the heads up that Apophis is still alive."

"What about us... it is a secret?" Piper asked about to get angry.

"General Hammond is our commanding officer. He knows all about secrecy. Don't worry everybody in the base knows about classification. Your secret is as safe as ours." Jack replied.

"Shall I call him sir?" Sam asked her CO.

"Yeah" Sam pulled out her mobile and walked away from the group to tell the General.

"It's getting really late. We should explain more at the manor." Piper said to everyone.

"Yeah... we can check the book of shadows for that demon." Paige replied.

"You got a look at the demon didn't you?" Phoebe asked the group. They all nodded. "We can take them back to the manor with us, just to be sure we get the right demon."

"Ok then. Leo you can orb me, Jack and Daniel. Paige you take Glen, Sam and Teal'c. Cole can you shimmer Phoebe back please" Piper said taking charge.

"Sure" Cole said drawing Phoebe closer to him.

"Umm... What are we doing?" Jack asked looking very confused.

"We are going back to the manor to see if we can find the demon that attacked you, and from there... well I don't know... we'll just see what happens next." Piper said
