Chapter

Meeting SG-1
The group that met them at the airport
was an unusual one. Three were normal humans, but the fourth was
something else. Andrea couldn't put her finger on precisely what he
was but she knew many things that he was not.
They introduced
themselves as Colonel Jack O'Neil, Major Samantha Carter, Doctor
Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c. Very little was said while they went to
gather the luggage.
That is until they made it outside the airport
and into the parking lot, then the many questions that both sides
began to be voiced.
The first person to ask a question was
Andrea. She looked at Teal'c and said, "You're not human. What
are you?"
Teal'c and Colonel O'Neil exchanged a startled
glance, but it was the Major who replied. "Of course he's human.
What else would he be? An alien or perhaps a demon?" said the Major
who was trying and failing to be sarcastic.
"Of course he's
not a demon. He is alien I just don't know which kind," said
Andrea in a calm but slightly puzzled voice.
Another look was
exchanged, but this time the Major and Daniel joined in. Shock was
evident in their eyes and movements.
"How the hell do you
know that?" asked the Colonel.
"Let's just say that like
you, I've had a bit of experience with aliens," said Andrea with
a small smile.
"One problem. There are no sentient
non-humans," said Doctor Jackson.
"Cut the crap. Hiei and
I know you're lying. Don't we, Hiei?" asked Andrea.
"Hn,"
was the reply.
A moment later they reached the right vehicle
in the large airport parking lot. It was a van and obviously military
by its style. They got in and several hours later they were still
arguing. The only difference being that the moment the doors of the
van were closed the argument changed from the existence of aliens to
how Hiei and Andrea knew what they knew. Well that and the fact that
Andrea started calling the SG-1 team by their names rather then rank
or title. It wasn't all arguing though many important facts came
in. Details about the threat the Earth was in. There were facts about
the Goa'uld who acted as though they were evil warlords on a
galactic scale. There was even a bit of information on Earth's
allies.
As soon as they got out of the van near the entrance
to Stargate Command, Andrea pulled Hiei to one side. "They need to
know everything, Hiei. They can't protect the world properly if
they don't know."
"Then you tell them. We'll deal
with Koenma later," said Hiei.
"Tell us what?"
questioned Jack as he walked up behind the two.
"How about
why you dropped off the face of the world under such mysterious
circumstances," said Sam.
"You wouldn't believe me if I
told you. Besides there are more important things you need to know,"
said Andrea in a cold, almost emotionless voice. "Such as the fact
that the planet Earth is in actuality three worlds, not one and the
existence of demons whose capabilities as fighters go far beyond what
any Goa'uld can do."
"That theory was disproved long
ago. The so-called proof all disappeared. Demons are merely myths,"
said Daniel.
"Your theories on ancient Egypt were also
thought to be untrue. Though I think there were a few things you
missed."
Now Daniel was interested. "Such as?"
"The
Millennium Items were never mentioned or 'Shadow Powers' and I
know for a fact that both existed then and still exist to this day,
but that's not important since all of the items are in good hands,"
said Andrea. Then she proceeded to tell the four members of SG-1
about the existence of both the Makai and the Reikai as she and Hiei
were led into the SGC base. Andrea and Daniel talked until they
reached General Hammond's office.
Through a crack in the
door to that office Andrea heard an unfamiliar voice say, "This
creature who are operatives say is named Freiza wiped out a Jaffa
army by himself. Nobody saw any weapons but the reports that got out
all say that he shot off some kind of energy blast from the palm of
his hand without the use of any Goa'uld device. The planet isn't
there any more."
Andrea started trembling the moment she
heard the name, but with Hiei's help soon had it under control. She
was herded into the room and the second the General saw her he asked,
"How much did she hear?"
Andrea gave him an answer before
Jack could she said, ""Enough to know that that S.O.B. needs to
die a slow and painful death for his actions."
"You sound
as if you've met this monster. How could you? He fell into this
dimension through a freak wormhole," said the unknown man. Andrea
had already noticed General Hammond for who he was because of his
uniform.
"I have. I spent eight years in that dimension in
Freiza's company and I hoped that I'd never have to hear of that
evil bastard again," said Andrea, leaning weakly against a wall.
"Do
you know what he is? Do you know if he has any weaknesses?"
"I
know that he is an Ice-jinn from a planet called Ice. I've never
seen anything that could be called a weakness. At least not one that
any one in this dimension could ever use against him," said Andrea
tiredly.
"What do you mean by that?" asked the man whose
identity was still unknown.
"I know of some people in
another dimension who are strong enough to kill him. But there is no
way to get them here any time soon. That is if they can get here at
all," said the brown haired girl.
Then followed hours of
discussion in which many things were discussed including the
strengths and weaknesses of the species she knew of, and more
specifically what she knew of Freiza and the methods he used to
conquer. The two men introduced themselves as General George Hammond,
and Jacob Carter. Jacob Carter was revealed to be Sam's father and
host to a Tok'ra symbiote named Selmak.
Eventually Hiei and
Andrea were given a guest room to sleep in. They had offered separate
rooms, but Hiei did not trust them and insisted that they share a
room in case he needed to protect her although Andrea thought she was
quite capable of defending herself. When Andrea did not protest they
were taken to their room and told that breakfast was served at eight
and that at that time someone would be there to show them the way to
the cafeteria.
As soon as the door shut, Andrea began to
unpack their things and Hiei searched the room for surveillance
devices. None were found and he joined Andrea in unpacking. They
unpacked both of the small suitcases that they had carried in, but
left the small one in Andrea's pocket mostly unpacked. Only one
thing was removed from it. That object was a small inter-dimensional
teleportation device that resembled a CD except that where a CD is
silver and very thin; the device in question was midnight black, at
least two inches thick, and a foot in diameter.
Andrea pulled
out a piece of paper and a pen and began writing a letter to Vegeta
in the Saiyan language Saiyago. In the letter she wrote of the events
that had occurred in the last few days and the problems that had
arisen. She then put the letter in an envelope and wrote 'Vegeta,
Prince of the Saiyans' on it. Then she placed it on the device and
ran one finger around the outside of the ring. The letter disappeared
as expected.
She changed into a pair of dark purple silk
pajamas and lay down on the bed. She made no protest when Hiei
stripped to his boxers and joined her. She laid her head on his chest
and a few minutes later she was sound asleep. She knew that his jagan
would keep watch for both of them. And with the jagan ready and
waiting, nothing could hurt them.
