Part 3 Of Visionary
by Chaoseternus
Apologies for the delay in getting new chapters out, my muse went south on this one and it kept going... well, not excatly dark but it was redaing like action adventure far more than humour. Theres still hints of that but the humour should now be there as well.
hopefully
Chapter 5: Warship Gathering
Buffy grimaced as she once again gazed over the bulk of a Goa'uld warship where it rested on some P designated planet, she couldn't be bother to memorise the name, she had been to too many recently to be that bothered.
This was the third such mission, and in theory the easiest.
Buffy knew all about theory and battle conditions and as such was more alert than any of the other extraction missions.
This would be the third Ha'tak they had abducted this week, the first belonged to Anubis, the second to Ba'al and this third belonged to a nobody, a minor Goa'uld with one planet to far from Anubis or Ba'als domain for them to bother with the effort of taking him over.
The SGC however was more than willing to go to the effort, the winds had changed and now they knew an apocalypse was on its way. They needed to block the fleets of Anubis from reaching Earth and they needed to stop his forces landing otherwise the surviving hellmouths would be opened and demons of the first circle would once again walk on earth.
For that, Earth needed more ships, an extra three ships wasn't much but it was undoubtedly a major help.
She nodded as gunfire suddenly echoed across the clearing, SG-1 and SG-13 openly attacking the main group of guards in a surprise pincer.
She gestured behind her as the second group of guards abandoned their post, racing to help their comrades, she ran forward, head bowed, body low to the ground, quickly she reached the smaller of the vessels two open entrances, glancing quickly inside she saw nobody, and gestured Giles ahead, his hands laden with two Zats.
A staff swung from a dark corner and Giles fell, knocked cold by the staff bouncing off his skull. Grimacing, Xander closed his eyes tightly behind her, opened them wide and glanced into the corner. His vision now on Infra-red, the dark didn't bother him. He raised his P-90 and fired.
With a leaden clunk two armoured figures fell down to the ground.
Buffy raised an eyebrow, "this guy has some smarts, making darkened corners to hide sentries in"
Xander nodded, "Explains why the guards had no problems running off to engage SG's 1 and 13"
Buffy nodded, her head tilted, "no gunfire, they are either entering the ship or are in trouble"
Muffled shots reached her ears, echoing from within the ship, "never mind"
Buffy reached Giles and frowned as he groggily tried to rise to he feet, "anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" he asked, his voice slurred and uneven.
Buffy just rolled her eyes, "he's concussed, again"
Xander nodded as Buffy rose her Goa'uld hand device, her eyes flashing as Enerina took over to use the device.
A clattering reached her ears as she finished, Daneil and Teal'c racing around the corner to join them.
"Ships clear" Daniel announced, his weapon lowering as he glanced around the room.
Enerina nodded, "we must collect the gate and leave as soon as possible to join the fleet"
Teal'c nodded, pleased "Another Goa'uld contained, without his only ship or the gate he will not be able to leave this world, we have done well"
"Well, bugger" Ethan Rayne commented, his eyes flashing Gold as he watched the Ha'tak take the gate and leave "I really liked that ship, oh well…" he waved at one of his jaffa, "step up work on the mothership, I want it ready to join my fleet within the week"
He glared at the vanishing spot of light that was the stolen Ha'tak and the gold light vanished from his eyes. He turned back to the Jaffa, slowing lighting up a cigarette, "your 'God' Maktenos" Ethan sneered, "wants his ship back, I suggest you signal for more ships to join us and fast"
