Here's today's wonderful chapter! Hope you guys like it and review, else the spork chasing shan't stop.

Moving on, I have a question for you the readers. Do any of you have an idea on what to call the soul-sucking creatures? 'Cause I got nothing and I've been racking my brain for days. So thanks in advance for the suggestions you send me via review.

Um...do I need to say anything else...nope! So go and read the wonderful chapter! I still have no idea on how long this is going to ultimately be. Depends on how much Elphie Muse and reviews inspire me.

I own nothing in this fic...except the sporks!

"Nice place," Jack commented as they walked into Sam's mansion.

Sam shrugged. "A bit big, but I don't have to worry about paying any bills for it. My aunt and uncle paid everything off before the accident."

"Accident?" Jack asked, setting his things down by the stairs.

"They were in a plane crash a while ago. Everyone died onboard, even a young girl's parents," Sam said. "The girl wasn't on the plane so she grew up all alone."

"That's rough," Jack said.

Sam nodded as they both sat down on the couch. "I always hoped the girl turned out all right."

Jack nodded. "You still feeling okay?"

"I'm fine," she assured him. "But we do need to tell the other Senshi who we are," she said.

"Do they know about the Stargate?" Jack asked.

"One does," she answered.

"Who?"

"Pluto. She came to the SGC after I…"

"Got cuter?" he finished with a grin.

She gave him a frosty stare. "Are you saying I wasn't cute before?"

"No! I'm just saying that you're even cuter now than you…I'm gonna shut up now," he said.

Sam giggled and rested her head on his shoulder. "I know what you meant."

"Oye…" he muttered. "So…when do we get to try out the racetrack?" Sam grinned, her eyes flashing with excitement at the unsaid challenge.

"You absolutely sure about this Haruka?" Michiru asked.

"Yeah," the blonde said. They got out of Setsuna's car and walked up to the front of the mansion.

"What do we do if she changed her mind?" Hotaru asked.

"We'll figure something out," Haruka said. She lifted her fist and was about to knock on the door when the roar of an engine met her ears. She smiled and headed to the back of the house, the others following.

"Impressive," Setsuna said, taking in the backyard.

"Nice bike," Haruka commented as they watched a motorcycle and a car flying around the racetrack. They walked up to the track until they were a dozen meters away. "She definitely knows the best race models."

"Careful Haruka. You're drooling," Michiru teased. Haruka smiled in embarrassment, scratching the back of her head. Her eyes suddenly narrowed as the winds changed.

"Did you feel that?" she asked.

"Yes," her three companions confirmed. They began scanning the grounds, hands on their transformation pens.

"There!" Hotaru exclaimed, pointing to the roof of the garage. A Prior stood calmly on the garage watching them.

"Twice in one day? They must be desperate," Michiru said.

"Who cares? Let's take this guy out now," Haruka growled.

"Haruka," Setsuna slowly said. They turned and saw several of the creatures lumbering towards them.

"Damn…" the blonde murmured.

"Jack, you sense that?" Sam asked through a radio in her helmet.

"Yeah. My spider-sense is tingling," he replied. "Holy crap! It's a Prior and four of those soul suckers! Looks like they're after four women that showed up," he said after rounding the bend in the track.

"Ditch the car. I'll meet you at the party," Sam said. She quickly spun the bike around and circled back around the track, picking up speed. She opened the throttle all the way on the bike and roared down the straightaway on the left side. As she neared the bend in the track, she guided the motorcycled over to a large ramp on the dirt bike course.

She hit the ramp at full speed and launched into the air. She flew over the roof of the garage and hauled the bike sideways, grunting with the effort. She struck the Prior straight on and they both went hurtling for the ground. Sam leapt off the bike and tucked into a ball, hitting the ground and rolling to her feet.

"That was amazing," Hotaru said.

"Didn't take care of our problem," Haruka said, nodding towards the four advancing creatures.

Sam looked over at Setsuna. "Nice to see you again," she said.

Setsuna frowned. "We've met?"

Sam unzipped the riding jacket she wore and tossed it to the side. She then pulled her helmet off, her blonde hair mussed up from the helmet. "This might get messy," she said to them.

"Um…what do you plan to do?" Michiru asked.

Sam grinned. "Watch." She spun back to the creatures and took a few steps in front of them. You better not stand me up Jack, she thought. She clenched her left hand and the phoenix on her bracer began to glow. She shot her hand up into the sky, yelling out, "Phoenix Cosmic Power! Make UP!"

The Outer Senshi stared in bewilderment. "Y…you're kidding," Haruka said.

Phoenix grinned as fire leapt up around her right arm. "Come and get it monsters," she challenged. "Phoenix Fire!" she cried and one creature erupted in a ball of flame. It collapsed on the ground, turning to ash. "You gonna help or just stand there?" Phoenix demanded of the Outers. As they began to transform, Phoenix turned her attention back to the monsters. She flung herself back to avoid an attack and flipped back up to her feet. She blocked a swipe from one of the creatures and struggled to stop it from overpowering her.

"Space Sword Blaster!" Uranus yelled, driving her sword into the creature's head.

Phoenix shoved it away as it was consumed by fire. "Thanks!"

"Behind you!" Saturn yelled.

Phoenix whirled around just in time to see Apollo decapitate it. He grinned jauntily at her, his brown eyes twinkling. "That's two you owe me," he teased.

"Duck," she ordered. He dropped down as she sent her attack at the last remaining creature. It burst into flame like the other three. "That's one I owe you," she shot back. They chuckled.

"Who's your friend?" Uranus asked.

"Apollo," Phoenix introduced. "We have a lot to discuss."

Sam led the four women and Jack down into the basement. "My aunt and uncle had this panic room built for some reason. Never explained why." She flipped a switch and lights flooded throughout the decent size room. Several bookshelves lined the walls, a couch and television off to one side. Near the back was a dining area and several feet away was a full size bathroom.

Haruka whistled. "Nice. They could stay down here for months with an adequate food supply," she noted.

"They seemed to like mythology and fantasy," Setsuna noted.

"Have a seat," Sam said, pulling over two stools for her and Jack. They all sat down. "There's something you need to know about the Priors," she began. She slowly began to tell them of the Stargate and of the Ori.

Two hours later three of the four Outer Senshi were floored by what they had just been told. "Y…you can't be serious…" Hotaru said.

"If something that big existed, the world would know about it," Michiru said. "We would know about it."

Jack shook his head. "Government cover-ups at their finest," he said. "That whole meteor storm over Antarctica a few years back? Cover-up."

Haruka rose to her feet and began pacing around. "So the Priors are messengers of these Ori who want us to bow down and worship them or die."

Sam nodded. "Yeah. Though I think there might already be an Ori on Earth in hiding," she said.

"Would explain how the Priors got here without coming through the Stargate," Setsuna said.

"The question now is how do we stop the Ori," Michiru said.

"You can't kill an Ascended being," Jack said.

"That might not be true," Sam said. Everyone stared at her. "Before I…de-aged, Cameron and I, and later Daniel, were shifted to another dimension by a device that Merlin created. This device held data of a device that Merlin was creating to destroy Ascended beings. He had to hide it from the others, so hence the dimension shifting."

"Did you guys find it?" Hotaru asked.

Sam shook her head. "Not while I was there at least."

"Sam, why are there so many books about phoenixes here?" Haruka asked.

"What?" Sam asked, walking over to Haruka. She looked at the bindings of the books and frowned. "Seems like they were obsessed…" she murmured. She pulled an old, leather book off the shelf and looked at the front cover. The Myth of the Phoenix was spelled out in faded gold letters hovering over an equally faded phoenix.

"I found a journal or something," Jack said. "I think it was your uncle's; it just talks about meeting the woman he married and them having a kid."

"They didn't have any kids," Sam said. "They were unable to conceive or something like that."

Jack held up a picture of a small baby. "Then who's this?"

Sam took the picture and stared at it like she had seen a ghost. "It…it's me…" she stammered, numbly sitting on the couch.

Jack looked down in the journal. "According to this, it says they had to give you up for you to realize your true destiny…because some woman in a white dress named Queen Serenity told them once they had conceived."

"Why would Queen Serenity do that?" Michiru asked, her arm wrapped around Sam in support.

Sam had opened the book in her hands and was leafing through it when she stopped. "Because Serenity knew that they had been part of the Tribe of Feathermoon," Sam murmured.

"I thought they were all wiped out by Beryll a few years before the destruction of the Silver Millennium," Jack said.

Sam shook her head. "Apparently not," she said. "They must have been in hiding or were on a journey when Beryll killed the rest of our people…"

"But that still doesn't fully explain why they gave you up," Haruka said.

"It's not like I can ask them about it," Sam returned.

During the discussion, Hotaru had begun perusing the shelves. She stopped at a book and tried to pull it off the shelf. "Whoa!" Hotaru said, jumping back as part of the wall slid away. "Did you know about this passageway?" she asked.

Sam shook her head. "No, but I intend to find out where it leads." She reached into her khaki cargo pants and pulled out a flashlight. She clicked it on and led the way inside. Once they had all walked in, the door slammed shut behind them.

A flash of light suddenly blinded them. Their vision slowly cleared and they stared in shock. They had somehow been transported to a lush green forest. Different colors of lights danced around various trees.

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto," Jack said softly.

:singsong voice: Plot twist!

:Announcer voice: But where are they? How did they get in that forest? And will I ever stop asking questions you don't know the answer to while chasing you around with a spork? I dunno...

And who caught the reference to Makoto in this chapter? Those that did and tell me of it in a review get a pass protecting them from spork chasing.
