Thanks to Gen, S.M, divad relffehs, Whitty, Majin Gojira, Bunny Butler, and
Ueshiba for your reviews, they are very appreciated.
divad relffehs, yes my mistake the spell is red.
S.M, I have an idea for that, you'll see next chapter.
Majin Gojira, haven't you ever seen Star Trek? Shields can always have their frequencies changed. Besides, the main reason I did that is that in the long one a live Ashrak is more interesting than one with a knife sticking out of his forehead. As for the scientific look at magic, I have some idea how I am going to do it but I'm not 100% sure on it, so feel free to send me an e-mail if you have some ideas.
Just so everyone who has seen season 7 of Stargate knows, I am going to ignore the events of episode 15, Chimera, because Osiris is one of my favourite bad guys, and I have a good way to incorporate her. For anyone who hasn't seen season 7, check Kazaa and www.stargates.tk for episodes. Stargates.tk usually only has a couple, but they're available in divx format. Anyways, on with the story!
Chapter 5
Osiris knelt before Anubis's throne, inwardly scowling at the thought of beings forced to act as nothing more than a servant. "My lord Anubis, your assumption was right. There are strange things on this world. My research has shown the existence of creatures and powers that could rival your own. One of the more interesting creatures is the Slayer, who displays abilities even beyond your new soldiers."
Anubis turned from his view of Earth to face her, and Osiris fought her urge to recoil. Anubis' "face" if you could call it that was nothing more than a black void with tiny pinpricks of light. In fact he very much resembled a view from deep space. "All of that is irrelevant." Anubis said, in his harsh voice that caused even some Goa'uld to shudder at the tone. "Does this planet contain the powers I require?"
Osiris looked up nervously. "My lord I have yet to discern that."
Anubis waved one of his black clad spiny hands. "Then get out of my sight. Come back when you know something useful."
Osiris nodded and quickly got to her feet. "Yes my lord." She said before dismissing herself from the ominous presence in front of her.
~~~~~~~
Lucius Malfoy knelt in front of Voldemort's throne.
Voldemort eyed him angrily with his red slits of eyes. "It seems that neither Potter nor any of his friends are in your possession."
Lucius kept his head bowed, trying not to meet Voldemort's gaze. "My lord the timing was inopportune. It seems he had made friends with some of the muggles fighting the invasion."
Voldemort's gaze got, if possible, harder. "And this should matter? Why didn't you simply kill them?"
"My lord the muggles were attacked by an alien assassin. All of the muggles drew strange weapons, and then the Potter boy stunned it. My lord, I realized that Aurors would apparate there within seconds, and what's more everyone there was too alert for me to try anything." Lucius explained.
"That fool Anubis!" Voldemort hissed. "Our window of opportunity has closed! Now Potter and his friends will be under guard until they return to that cursed school! I will not tolerate any more interference from this pathetic invasion attempt!"
Lucius looked at Voldemort nervously. "What would you have me do, my lord?"
"Find me a way to get to Anubis." Voldemort replied. "Perhaps he can be made an ally, if not, then I will take great pleasure in taking his army as my own."
"Yes, my lord." Lucius replied, before quickly turning to leave.
"Lucius, don't fail me again." Voldemort threatened as the terrified Malfoy left.

"Okay, what the hell was that?" Jack demanded.
Before Harry could answer, two loud cracks were heard, and Moody and Tonks appeared.
"Wotcher, Harry!" Tonks greeted happily.
"Sorry about taking so long Harry," Moody said gruffly, "we didn't expect an alien attack. Don't worry about the illegal magic use, I'm sure we can have it cleared up due to the circumstances."
"Hey!" Jack shouted, now standing zat drawn with the rest of his squad. "Would someone please tell me what is going on? One minute we're under attack by, what was in my opinion, a really stupid Ashrak, and then all of a sudden."
Moody pointed his wand at the squad and said, "Obliviate!" Everyone in the squad except for Jack lowered their weapons. "Hey!" Jack said, looking at his squadmates, "What are you guys doing?"
"What the?" Moody asked, examining his wand. Determining there was nothing wrong, he pointed it at Jack and said, "Stupefy!" The red stunner spell hit Jack in the chest, and caused him to stumble back, but he remained on his feet, and in return he fired his zat. The zat blast hit Moody in the shoulder, and blue bolts of electricity zipped over his scarred body. Moody shuddered, then dropped to the ground.
"That just knocked him out, but another shot will kill him!" Jack said angrily to Tonks, who was standing open mouthed staring at him. "Unbelievable." She said quietly.
"But that's not possible!" Hermione blurted. "How is he still standing?"
"I have no idea." Tonks replied.
"Hey!" Jack said angrily. "Did everyone forget I'm here or something? Stop talking about me and start talking to me, right now!"
"Sorry." Tonks said as disarmingly as she could.
"Okay, just lower whatever you have in your hand, and we can have a nice little chat." Jack said.
Tonks nodded and set her wand on the ground, and Jack responded by closing and holstering his zat. "No why don't we go somewhere and get this sorted out?" Tonks asked.
Jack looked at his squadron, still standing against the wall in a dazed sort of way. "What about them?" he asked jerking his head towards his squad.
"They'll be fine, Moody just blanked their memory." Tonks assured. "They won't remember anything except having a nice dinner with you."
Jack nodded. "Okay, then just give me a minute." Jack pulled out his sat phone, flipped up the huge antenna, and dialed a number. Then he raised the phone to his ear. "Hello? Yes, I need a pickup for five. Yes, just home in on my locator. Yes, one of the targets is hostile. Okay then, thanks." Jack closed the phone.
"Now what?" Ron asked.
"Now we wait about 30 seconds." Jack replied.
About 30 seconds later, several rings descended into the alley, flashed bright white, and then retracted. Standing where the center was were two soldiers armed with MP5's. One quickly moved to the Ashrak, while the other looked at Jack for directions.
Jack pointed to his squad. "They had too much to drink. Let them sleep it off."
The soldier nodded, then went to collect the other pilots. He brought them back to the Ashrak, then when they were al clustered close enough, he pushed a button on his wrist, and in a few seconds, the rings descended over the group, and in a flash of light they were gone.
"Wicked." Ron said with a smile.
"Okay, what the hell was that?" Tonks demanded
~~~~~~~
Buffy had her group of Slayers sitting at the conference table along with the Scoobies and Daniel. She looked solemnly at her band of warriors, before taking a breath and starting. "Look, I know you're all a little tired and beat up, but unfortunately we still have work to do. The Slayer's job is to protect the Earth from the forces of evil, and even though we beat the First, seems like there's still plenty of evil to go around. At this point, I'll let Doctor Jackson here take over." Buffy turned to look at Daniel, who gave her a smile before starting.
"Okay, as you all know, we're under attack by aliens called the Goa'uld. I'm here to request that you join the fight against them." Daniel said seriously.
The response was a surprised murmur through the group. A Slayer near the back, Vi, called out, "What are we supposed to do against spaceships? All we know how to use are melee weapons and crossbows."
"Well, if you agree, you'll be moved to the SGC in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado. There you'll receive full training in both human and alien weapons of the more high tech variety. We'll also be using it as a home base to launch recovery missions for other Slayers. Not only should you be better equipped, but you'll be able to find and recruit the other Slayers faster." Daniel explained.
"So you're going to put us through boot camp?" Shannon asked.
"Well, I guess you could call it that." Daniel replied. "You already know how to fight, we're just setting you up to fight a new bad guy, one who uses guns instead of fangs. You'll be taught how to infiltrate ships, blow things up with C4, fire rifles, that sort of thing."
Dawn smiled. "Cool."
"Now I'm not going to force this on anyone." Buffy said. "You all have the choice. You can come to Cheyenne Mountain, or you can go your own way. You've all been through a lot, so I understand if you just want to go home."
"Well," Vi said, "We've saved the world once, what's one more time?"
"Yeah." Shannon agreed. "Besides, we get to play with explosives. No offense Buffy, but you'd never let us do anything like that."
"I guess I'll go." Kennedy said reluctantly, and Willow gave her a hug.
A general agreement rose from the group. Daniel smiled broadly. "Okay then. Now, when will you be ready to leave?"
Buffy looked around the room. "We can have our stuff packed in a couple of hours."
Daniel nodded. "Okay then. In two and a half hours meet me on the roof."
"Are you going to get a helicopter to pick us up?" Dawn asked excitedly.
Daniel shook his head. "No, I have something even better."
~~~~~~~
Jack sat down in one of the back rooms of the restaurant/inn that they were now at, the Leaky Cauldron. The interior of the run-down looking building was surprisingly well kept, and the main room had been filled with people dressed in colourful robes similar to the ones that Moody and Tonks were wearing. Moody had stayed at the counter saying he needed to get in contact with someone.
Jack looked at the four people in front of him. "Now can you tell me what is going on?" he asked impatiently.
Harry nodded. "Colonel, there's a whole other world you don't know about, right here on Earth, the wizarding world."
Jack looked at Harry skeptically. "You mean magic?"
Tonks nodded. "He's telling the truth. In every country around the world there is a wizarding population. We keep to ourselves, so none of the muggles, that's non-magical folk, ever know about us."
Jack scoffed. "Oh come on, no one can keep a secret that well, someone would know about it."
"Didn't the Americans keep the Stargate completely secret up until just now?" Hermione pointed out.
"Well, sort of." Jack replied. "There were a few leaks, plus we told a few countries after they threatened to cut ties with us. Besides, that was one little base. This is worldwide."
Tonks nodded. "Yes, it is worldwide, but it's easier for us to keep secrets. Most of our buildings are hidden or use glamour's that only a wizard can see through. And any muggles that do see what's happening are simply given a memory charm."
"Besides," Harry added. "If someone started raving about a magical world with wizards and witches and all sorts of things, would anyone believe them?"
"Good point." Jack said, nodding. "So that other guy, he tried to use magic on me?"
Tonks nodded. "That's something I haven't figured out. You seem to have some sort of immunity to magic, although it can't be total. I mean, that stunning spell did something."
Jack nodded. "It was kinda like a flashbang going off around a corner from me."
"What's a flashbang?" Ron asked, intrigues to hear more about muggle weapons.
"It's an explosive device that causes anyone near the explosion to be temporarily blinded and deafened." Hermione explained.
"Not the point." Jack said, before turning to Tonks and shrugging. "Well, Thor said I was advanced."
Tonks raised an eyebrow. "You're in tight with the Norse gods, then?"
"Well he's not really a god." Jack explained. "But he's the supreme commander of the Asguard fleet, that's certainly something. He's a good guy. Kind of small, and a nit annoying sometimes, but a good guy."
"Ookay." Tonks said. "So he said you were advanced?"
Jack nodded. "Something about my DNA being an evolutionary stepping stone or something. He said it's the reason I recover from a zat blast a lot faster than anyone else."
Just then the door opened and Moody walked in. "Dumbledore wants to see us, especially you Colonel O'Neill. He can't believe that you took a stunning spell square in the chest and stayed on your feet."
Jack shrugged. "Well, I work out a lot. So where's this Dumbledore guy?"
~~~~~~~
Buffy closed the roof access door behind her, then turned around and scanned the roof. In front of her was her assembled group of Scoobies and Slayers, heavily burdened with backpacks, duffel bags and weapons trunks. Buffy herself carried only a duffel bag filled with clothes, and her scythe. Daniel walked towards the group and walked around them in a circle, then frowned. He pulled out a sat-phone and punched in a number, then pressed the phone to his ear. "Hey, it's Daniel. Yeah, the group too big, just bring it down on the roof. Okay, see you then." Daniel closed the phone and walked over to Buffy. "Our ride will be here in just a minute." Daniel eyed the scythe Buffy was holding appraisingly. "That's a very impressive scythe, great craftsmanship."
Buffy grinned. "It was made specially for the Slayer." Buffy spun it around casually, and the blade sung.
"Wow." Daniel nodded. "That's really cool."
Just then, there was a high-pitched whine, and the air above the building began to shimmer. The shimmering increased, and suddenly hovering above the building was a gold and silver craft like nothing Buffy, the Scoobies, or any of the Slayers had seen before. It had a sleek, sloping nose that extending from a stubby body out of which rode a pyramid shaped hump from a circular base. The ship lowered down and gently landed on the roof of the building.
"No." Buffy said, trying not to gawk. "That's really cool."
Daniel grinned and took Buffy's duffel bag for her, then walked her to the ship.

So what does everyone think? I hope it doesn't seem too stupid that I gave Jack resistance to magic, I just thought that since he is advanced it should show somehow. Anyway, thanks for reading and please leave a review.
