4 After Icon: Part Four

'Transformation'

A/N: Spoilers for Season 8 (After Icon where SG-1 goes to a world where Daniel is wounded at the base being taken over and after my part 1-3, but this is before the next show.) so be forewarned. This is the fourth in my series of what happens between the shows in Season 8.

SGC

When they had finally gotten back to the SGC, Jack contacted Thor and asked him for help. Thor said he would be there by the next morning. Violet and Keira were given a tour of the facility and let in on the general idea of what was going on. After that, Daniel and Violet spent the few remaining hours of the day with the pictures that Sam took. Violet read the writings to Daniel, and he typed them out in a report. He entered General O'Neill's office where Teal'c, Keira, Sam and General Hammond were waiting. Hammond had come straight over to meet the new alien himself and see if he could help in any way. The first thing he mentioned to Jack when they were alone was to contact the Tok'ra and see what they knew about her race. Jack smiled and said he would after Thor came by.

"So, what have you two come up with?" Jack took the report and started reading it. Then in his own words, he spoke certain parts of importance out loud as everyone watched. "The gold guy went and made contact with the Native Americans and other peoples then traveled back to Egypt. There he helped the people know the truth that the Goa'uld were not gods and helped them over throw them and burry the Stargate. He kept a sarcophagus for himself and placed it in a temple back here with the Native Americans. He lived among them in different places. It looks like your guard after knowing that the Goa'uld were defeated thought you were safe here and went traveling himself. Is this next part right?" Jack stopped leering at Daniel.

"It's in her language and they left it as notes for her or their people. Violet translated it to me, and I typed it. She showed me the basics of her written language, and I understand the language somewhat in the written form. Now, the spoken language is a different matter. It is highly complex as a symphony." Daniel was continuing with no end in site Jack thought.

Jack interrupted Daniel once he got the fact that it was probably true, "So this is right. Her gold friend with telekinetic and telepathic abilities helped over throw the Goa'uld and lived among the Indians in a way like a leader. Now this next part is kind of shaky. This says something about her guard finding their original enemy on the planet and that was why he did not let the beacon off. It says the enemy ended up centering in modern day Europe in small numbers. The guard thought they were survivors from your first battle. The enemy must have landed in life crafts like you did. It also says here that over thousands of years he noticed the enemy went thru physical changes due to the conditions here on this planet. It says they went from absorbing life force with their hands to digesting it by drinking the victim's blood. That last entry was written down in the year 1650. It looks like the guard and the golden one meet up about every three hundred and fifty years and write new things on the walls of what they have found. It looks like they are never off by over five years. That puts them being here from 2000 to 2005 to write some more. Do you have any way of contacting them Violet?" Jack appeared bemused at the thought of her enemy transforming while on earth into what sounded like vampires.

"I do, and I have been trying. I will do so again." She put her fingers on her forehead and had her palms over the ridge that goes along the sides of her face.

Teal'c recognized what she was doing as she had done it many times before. Hammond stared intently as he noticed the black ridges on her light violet skin started to almost move and have the appearance of flowing water or growing vines.

"Nothing. I am trying to contact them, but they must be to far away." Violet looked exhausted and in need of rest.

"Why don't we pick this up tomorrow when Thor is here. He could help us by flying around and letting you try to talk to your friends, or something." Jack smiled at everyone.

"Good idea." Daniel said appearing a little tired himself. "Keira, I can show you to your room."

"Violet, I would be honored to escort you to your accommodations." Teal'c spoke softly.

Both ladies agreed and followed the man that would assist them. Hammond left. Jack and Sam stared at each other for several moments.

"Wish we were back at the beach." Sam muttered with her bottom lip almost stuck out in a pout. I wish I could lay my head on your shoulder again and just enjoy your presence in peace. Thank goodness, I took that picture when he closed his eyes, half falling asleep in the garden when we got out of the pool, and did not know.

"Yep." Jack took a deep breath and remembered when the Sam from the alternate dimension came to the SGC and let him know that in her reality they were together. It was so difficult knowing they could make such a good match and yet it was impossible. The pool yes, the pool and the garden were great. That was also great when that machine on that planet would not work right and the day kept repeating. One day I will have to tell her what we did.

"Hungry?" Sam questioned with an innocent look on her face as she turned to the door. If it were possible to be together, get married, would you love me for the rest of my life, and not try to change me from the person I am? Sam thought.

"Yep." Jack wished he could tell her for what. I will love you till the day I die. Your very strong willed and intelligent, but you have a soft female side not many see. You're absolutely perfect.

"You mean 'absolutely' correct, about the food right?" Sam finalized.

"Yea, you're absolutely correct. I am hungry. Come on lets go get something to eat." Jack spoke without a flinch. Oh, my Tok'ra Brothel! Did I say she was perfect out loud?

Thor's Ship

After the pleasantries and introductions, Thor agreed to assist them in finding her friends. Within a few minutes, Thor was speaking to Violet in her own language, and she seemed to enjoy the interaction.

Violet tried to contact her companions again. "There!" She pointed to the map after having a reply to her message.

Jack concluded the ringing in his ear whenever she did that 'seeking her friends thing' was a side effect of being near someone using telepathic powers.

Apparently, her two companions were on their way back to America to leave some more info on the walls. Thor used his highly advanced technology to transport them to his ship.

Two attractive human looking men appeared in front of the group of SG-1, Jack, Thor, Violet and Keira. Everyone felt and acted confused. Only Violet knew what was going on.

Violet took a few steps forward and wrapped her arms around each man. She spoke to them in her language, and Thor translated for the group. With a shimmer, the two human looking men transformed into their normal purple and golden alien forms. Violet introduced them to everyone. The purple alien called himself Drake, and the golden alien called himself Michael.

"Thank you for keeping her safe." Drake stated with an unmistakably sensual persona of supremacy.

"We do our best. There is a problem that has come to my attention." Jack was not welcoming the topic of the beacon going missing.

Michael focused his attention on Jack for a second. The pulse of energy radiated to everyone in the ship, which made them focus on Michael.

In a rather deep voice that sounded almost musical, Michael spoke in a statement not a question. "The beacon is gone."

Violet took Michael and Drake's hands as she closed her eyes. A breeze seemed to catch her hair and toss it back out of her face as she let them into her mind. She allowed them to directly see what she knew about what was going on. In this state, it was impossible for anyone to pick up on what they were communicating about. The blending was a way of allowing another to walk thru the memories and feelings of your past. She let them digest the fact that the human that found the key was actually discovered dead in his apartment. They could feel her fear that one of their enemy had controlled the human to use a device to extract the disk hoping to take it from him later.

Michael let her feel the information in his mind as well. She was not surprised to find the humans called the enemy vampires. She lived his memory of interrogating one of them he had caught and used his powers to obtain information from his mind.

Violet broke the interaction and turned to the group watching them. "The enemy is here, and they have the beacon. They are from the battle where we destroyed their ship. They managed to escape in time to land their life craft without us detecting it. The good thing is Michael and Drake took small intricate parts out of the beacon that make it unable to work now. The items are made out of minerals that are not found here on your planet and will make it impossible for them to activate it. We are safe."

Everyone took several breaths of refreshing air in relief to that little bit of news except for Thor who simply blinked his gray eyes.

"You have uncovered the eye of the Goa'uld slugs?" Drake asked the humans.

"Yea, we found it and have been using it to make contact with other worlds. We call it a Stargate. We have been trying to fight back against the Goa'uld. So, you were the ones who thought to burry it when you helped overthrow the snakeheads? We are thankful." Jack obviously acted similar to Drake.

Drake smiled, "Your welcome, but the act was a kind of a selfish one. The Goa'uld knew we were here, but we hoped they thought we were destroyed. They are very power and technology hungry. We were also trying to stop any objects from being taken to other worlds. They are as evil as our enemy. It is a shame when such evil takes over a helpless planet. It brings joy to know that you are not as defenseless as you once were. Following your people's progress has been an interesting one. When we over threw the Goa'uld with the people's help, we kept a sarcophagus and brought it back to this continent to use periodically. Our people only live a few thousand of your years where as our enemy can live almost indefinitely. They sleep then wake to feed and look around. We have kept surveillance on the enemy who crashed here once we discovered them. All of the ones that crashed have been eliminated save one."

Michael interjected, "He discovered a long time ago that after his people adapted to this planet that they would have to feed differently. Once they pressed their hand to a being's chest cavity and absorbed their life. Now, after the transformation of their species it has left them no result except to feed directly by drinking human blood. It was the last resort or die, so they started doing it. That was when Drake and I decided to start eliminating them before they took over the world like the Goa'uld had done. The last one of the survivors from the crash found that when he took the blood from a human and returned his own blood in its place that there was a genetic alteration to the human. His blood absorbs once as the human drinks it. This causes it to flow to all cells of the body causing change. Then they become his little minions to do his bidding or as you call them, vampires unable to walk in the sun. There are occasions when one he has turned then turns others. Among his minions, he is called Drago. He has had several names, but this is the one he has had for the past three hundred years. There have been a few instances where humans have seen his minions feed. We are thankful that the incidents have not happened recently and been discovered by the governments."

"What about your own incidents?" Jack mused.

"What do you mean?" Drake inquired at the same time that Sam did.

"You know, Wolverine." Jack stated as if that explained everything as Thor tipped his head watching the interactions. Jack then tapped his clenched fist.

"The wolverine is a carnivorous animal here in America. How does that explain what you are talking about?" Keira found her voice for an instant still in wonder of the things she had learned. Daniel was ever by her side as her anchor to reality. She felt Daniel's warm hand touch the small of her back and her face flushed with memories of the night before.

"X-men?" Sam wondered out loud.

Jack slapped his thy and pointed at her, "Exactly."

Sam smiled with her face turning to the new aliens, "There is a comic book, cartoons and movies where a group of human mutants with super powers call themselves the X-men. One of the characters with metal retractable blades that come out of his knuckles has the power to rejuvenate his body when he is wounded. His name is Wolverine."

"Oh, there was one time when a few people seen me attack one of Drago's minions that was feeding on a young lady. Michael was kind enough to make the people think that it was just a dream they had the night before. It shocked me to find myself in a comic book years later. There have even been ideas from others we have saved in the last fifty years from the minions. They have incorporated us into a kind of legend about vampire slayers or hunters." Drake stood up straight and was all of 6'2" just like Michael.

To that Michael rolled his oblong golden eyes, "Yea, and I found myself in a book series. They made my character into a magus or a kind of wizard. Anyway, they can not operate the beacon no matter what they do."

Daniel had finally noticed something they had said earlier was relevant. "What does the beacon look like and more importantly you said something about objects and not wanting them to leave this planet..." He paused and squinted his eyes slightly. "What objects?"

Violet attempted to speak in English for the first time after she had mind bonded to the others and learned of languages on Earth. "Objects of great power."

A/N: The Wraith transformed once on Earth for a long period of time and only one survived. He created the first vampires who are his minions. I had always wondered how the humans on Earth rose up against Ra so long ago. They got a little help from the X-men vampire slayers.

Objects? What objects of power? Oh, those don't they look interesting? Wait, you can't hear what I'm thinking can you or see what my mind found?

The next chapter will be out soon. Hehehe ha ha ha! Muaaahaha! Muaaaaahahahahahhahaha!

What do ya think...a little on the conspiracy theory base hu?

"Don't tell me you have never heard a ringing in your ears you could not explain." Whispers the little minion on my own named Precious (she is my little black kitty with green eyes who likes to sleep on her special blue pillow).

Smile,
