Erm...getting on with the story now...I own nothing...
"This place is amazing," Setsuna said as Sam led her to one of the outdoor observatories. SG-1 had shown the group around the Beta Site and now Setsuna wanted to see the observatory.
"It's not bad," Sam agreed. They halted outside of a decent size building and walked inside. A large telescope stood in the center of the room. "We use this observatory to look for any strange phenomena in the area," Sam said.
"Strange how?" Setsuna asked.
"Unusual black holes, that kind of thing," Sam said.
"I see. Have you found any?"
"Not yet thankfully," Sam answered.
"What would happen if you did find any?" Setsuna queried.
"Nothing good," Sam answered. A frown slowly formed on her face. "This is odd…" she said slowly.
"What do you mean?"
"Someone should be here," Sam said, gripping her P-90 tightly. She began moving through the room with barely a sound, keeping an eye on Setsuna.
"Anything?" Setsuna asked.
Sam shook her head. "Nothing," she began to say when she was violently shoved aside. Sam tucked into a ball and rolled to her feet, weapon raised. She stared in horrid fascination at the creature that loomed over Setsuna. It had a vague humanoid shape to it. A thick tail thudded on the ground while tendrils swayed from the back and chest. Long claws jutted from its fingers and it licked it fangs.
Sam shoved her disgust aside and began emptying her clip into it. The creature screamed in pain. "Get out of there!" Sam yelled. Setsuna ran out the door. Sam ducked down behind an overturned table. "This is Colonel Carter! I need help in Observatory C!" she yelled into her radio.
"What's going on?" Cameron demanded.
"Something's here! I have no clue what it is, but some help would be nice!" she shouted back. She quickly changed clips and fired more rounds at the monster.
"On our way!" Cameron said.
Sam peeked out from her hiding spot and frowned when she could see the creature. She slowly crept out, sweat beginning to glisten on her skin. She felt something wrap around her. The next thing she knew she was being hurled through a window. She crashed through and landed heavily in the grass.
"Sam!" Daniel yelled as the creature leapt through the window. One of the tentacles lashed out at Sam. She watched it come, her body freezing.
Daniel dove and shoved Sam out of the way. He felt the tentacle drive itself into his skin and let out a short cry of pain. The creature retracted the tentacle and knocked the other two members of SG-1 aside. It then bent down and picked Daniel up. Daniel struggled to break free and the creature hurled him against the building hard. The archaeologist crumpled to the ground.
"Daniel!" Sam shouted, snapping out of her state of shock. Before she could react, a tentacle whipped out and tore the P-90 away. She began struggling to pull her zat free as the creature made its way towards her.
"Colonel!" Setsuna cried.
"Get out of here!" Sam ordered. Pulling the zat free from her holster, she activated it only to have the monster knock it away.
"I will be your opponent monster," Setsuna calmly said, pulling the strange pen out of her pocket. "Pluto Crystal Power! Make UP!" she cried.
Sam turned her head just in time to see Setsuna turn into Sailor Pluto. She wore knee-high black boots, an inch wide white band at the top. She also wore a short black skirt and some sort of white tank top with a black bow. In the middle of the bow was a red heart shaped jewel. A black square piece of cloth hung from the back of her shirt, similar to that of a sailor's. Red earrings hung from her ears and a gold tiara rested on her forehead, a red jewel in the center. Long white gloves covered her hands and forearms, black bands near her elbows. A black choker was around her throat, a gold star in the middle. Her long, dark green hair hung down to her knees as she clenched a purple staff in her hand. The staff looked like some sort of key, two heart shapes decorating the top with a red orb in the larger one.
The blonde's eyes bugged out. "No way…" she whispered in disbelief, recognizing the outfit from the visions she had been having.
The creature roared at Pluto and charged forward. "Dead Scream," Pluto said. A ball of purple energy rushed out of Pluto's staff and slammed into the creature, killing it. Pluto watched as the body turned to dust and blow away in the wind. She then made her way over to Sam and knelt down, turning back into Setsuna.
"What are you?" Sam asked.
"I am a Sailor Senshi," Setsuna said. She didn't turn when shouts met their ears. "Tell no one of what happened here."
"Like they'd believe me," Sam muttered, rising to her feet.
"What happened?" a Marine Major asked.
"Something came out of the woods and attacked the observatory," Sam said. "I ordered Miss Meioh to run shortly before the…creature threw me out of the window."
"Creature?" the Major asked.
"It was humanoid, but it had long tentacles on it."
"What happened to the rest of SG-1?" the base commander demanded.
"I…I froze and they came to my rescue," Sam said.
The commander merely nodded. "Get back to the base and checked out. Once your cleared we'll send you back." Sam nodded and picked up her weapons, leaving in silence but hearing catches of whispers of disbelief from the soldiers there.
Setsuna watched Sam leave, knowing that the blonde's confidence had been greatly shaken. She excused herself from the soldiers there and followed Sam back to the base, glancing at Cameron and Teal'c as they came to.

Landry looked up at the sound of someone knocking on his door. "Enter," he said. He slightly raised his brows in surprise when Sam walked in. "What can I do for you Colonel?" he asked.
Sam placed an envelope on his desk. "I'm turning in my resignation sir," she said, her voice carefully neutral.
"I won't accept it," he said.
"General, if I hadn't froze when I did, Daniel wouldn't have been seriously injured," she said.
"You saw a bizarre creature Colonel. I'm not gonna hold that against you."
"Sir, we've seen bizarre creatures before. I shouldn't have frozen up like that."
"You're being too hard on yourself," he told her.
"Sir, we both know that there will be an inquiry into this incident," she said. "I know I'll never be able to go through the Gate again as I am now. What's more, I really won't be able to live off the base. My neighbors would become suspicious if a strange teenage girl starts going to and from my house. And not many teenagers live in their own house," she said.
"So we'll get you an apartment," he said.
"With all due respect sir, I can't work here and not go through the Gate. I tried that once already by transferring to Area 51, but it didn't work. I'm sorry General, but I have to leave," she insisted.
Landry sighed, knowing that Sam was probably right. "Very well. I figured you'd probably want to leave after you were turned into a teenager so I made a call to the President. Your real files have been sealed so that only the President, the Secretary of Defense, and myself can open it. To replace those files, we had Agent Barrett create a new identity for you. You're still Samantha Carter, but your Colonel Carter's niece."
"Thank you sir," she said. "It was an honor to serve under you."
"A few things before you leave," he said. "The first being, you're welcome to return to the SGC at any time. The second is this, where will you go?"
"My late aunt and uncle had a house outside of Tokyo," Sam said. "Thought I might go there. At least for now."
"We'll have your cars and motorcycles shipped there right away," Landry said. "I insist on that," he added as she opened her mouth to protest.
"Thank you sir," she said, touched by his kindness. She gave him one last salute and left his office.
He watched her leave before picking up the envelope. He unlocked one of his desk drawers and placed the envelope in. He then shut it and locked it. "Hope you find whatever it is you need to find Carter," he said quietly.

"When does Setsuna get back from the United States?" Michiru asked. She was sitting on a couch in front of the fireplace. A steady blaze was crackling in the hearth, warming the large family room.
"In a few days," Haruka replied, one arm resting on the mantle above the fireplace. She turned to Michiru. "The wind is growing more restless."
"As is the sea," Michiru said. "Something is about to happen."
"I…I've been having a recurring dream for the past two nights," Hotaru said, looking up from the book she was reading.
"What kind of dream?" Haruka demanded.
"Ruined buildings…and people motionless atop of the debris from a battle. Fires rage all over and I can feel this…ominous presence all around," Hotaru said.
"Is there anything else?" Michiru asked.
"A shadowy figure atop a half crumbled building. The features of the figure aren't distinguishable," Hotaru answered.
Haruka brought a hand up to her chin and began thinking. "This dream sounds very similar to the one we had of the approaching silence several years ago," she said.
"Perhaps Setsuna will know more when she returns," Michiru suggested.
"Possibly," Haruka agreed.

Daniel opened his eyes and blinked, seeing Cameron and Teal'c hovering nearby. "Hey," he said.
"Hey Jackson," Cameron said, plopping down into a chair.
"It is good to see you awake again Daniel Jackson," Teal'c said.
"Yeah. Where's Sam?" Daniel asked. Cameron held out a piece of paper and Daniel took it. He set the paper down on his chest and grabbed his glasses. He put them on and picked the paper back up.
Daniel, I'm sorry. You got injured covering for me because I froze. I never should have gone through the Gate with you guys-I was still too shaken up with my encounter with the Prior. General Landry is giving me an undetermined extended leave of absence. Basically it means I can return whenever I feel like it. I'm sorry I'm not there to say goodbye in person, but it would be too hard. I need some time away from the SGC…from everything there. Take care of yourself.
Samantha Carter
Daniel looked at his friends. "Where did she go? We have to go get her," he said, trying to climb out of bed. His limbs refused to respond and he gave up.
"Jackson, she's already gone. No one knows for sure where she went," Cameron told him, setting the paper down on a table.
"Colonel Carter expressed her wishes to leave to General Landry. I do not believe he would have granted such leave lightly," Teal'c added. "Colonel Carter is a formidable warrior. This experience must be trying on her."
"Which is why she needs friends with her," Daniel said.
"Jackson, whenever she's on the base someone is constantly with her. She can't even go off world anymore. Could you work here and not go off world?" Cameron demanded, his arms folded.
"No," Daniel finally said.
"She will return when she wishes," Teal'c said. The two humans silently agreed with the large Jaffa.
Okay, Sam might have been a little out of character, but think about it: How would you feel if you let one of your friends down? Especially in a job like they have. Besides, this is an AU for crying out loud.
Jack: That's my line!
Well you're not getting it back until I get reviews.
Jack: Oy...
