A/N: Sequel is up! Unusual Meetings is up in Misc. TV Crossovers. Well, actually the first chapter is just a recap of this story, so you don't have to hurry there yet. I should have the real first chapter up by the end of the week. Just wanted to let you know I've been working on it :)
A/N 2: I reworked this and removed the fake ending during the story so it would flow better. Thank you Jerrac! So here is the fake ending to a scene during the story, for those who haven't read it yet consider it like the bonus material you find on a dvd. Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter, Jerrac, Heather, zeynel, LiMiYa, theNightEnchantress, TangledPencils, Reiji Neko Mitsukai, TankerMDK, Nightwing 509, Rignach, and wordoftruthhunter26. You people are great.
If you've already read this, nothing has changed.
From chapter 36, where Clark is battling Apis:
SG-1 watched the battle intently. More soldiers had been able to pour into the bay as the cannon was destroyed, but they had to hold their fire. The extra soldiers set about securing the Jaffa that were strewn on the ground.
"Come on Clark, you can do it." Sam whispered to herself, hoping the young man who had saved her life would prevail.
Bracing his back against the poor ship, Clark lifted his legs and kicked Apis squarely in the middle of the huge alien, not holding back any of his strength from the blow. The Goa'uld flew backwards until he impacted a wall of the bay.
Before Apis could so much as twitch O'Neill yelled "Fire!"
This time there were no shields to protect the Goa'uld. Bullets poured onto the large form, the Zat gun spat and Teal'c fired his staff weapon. Clark watched with wide eyes as the Goa'uld's body shook, until O'Neill shouted "Cease fire!"
The bay became silent once again. Cautiously Clark got up and walked toward the alien lying on the ground.
"Clark, be careful!" Sam called out. SG-1 scrambled forward and arrived just as Clark tentatively leaned over the prone form, eyes slipping into x-ray mode.
Apis's host was clearly dying, and the Goa'uld was not faring well either. Clark recoiled in shock as the alien suddenly shot out of its current body and arrowed for the form closest to it that it could inhabit-which happened to be Clark.
"NO!" Sam and Daniel screamed together as they saw the snake-like form aim for the teen's neck-then their eyes widened comically as the Goa'uld seemed to slam into the equivalent of a brick wall.
Apis dropped limply to the ground, stunned.
O'Neill blinked. "Well, that's something you don't see everyday."
Clark's hand crept up to rub at his neck; the skin was unbroken.
SG-1 looked at each other, then at their guest.
FAKE ENDING:
O'Neill's forgotten walkie-talkie crackled to life.
"Colonel! Is everything all right? Is the room secure?" General Hammond's voice shouted.
O'Neill quickly responded. "Yes sir, actually the room is secure now. Everything's fine. Great, actually." He said, looking at Clark bemusedly.
He could hear the General give a relieved sigh. "Good. I didn't want to have to evacuate the base. Get whatever help you need-the invasion force must have come from a ship, we still have to deal with that. Should I send Dr. Frasier there?"
"Yes sir that might be a good idea. Teal'c took a staff blast to the shoulder, and we've got some casualties. It's not as bad as it could have been, though. Sir, I think we're going to owe Clark and his folks a debt that can't be repaid-I think this time it was him that saved the world." O'Neill told his superior officer.
Clark gaped at him, eyes wide, and there was silence for a moment. Then the General spoke again. "Understood. I thought I told the civilians to stay in their room, but in this case I'm glad my orders were disobeyed. I'll expect a full debriefing as soon as any threat to Earth has been eliminated."
O'Neill looked at the young civilian staring at him, and a grin tugged at his mouth. "Sir, permission to bring the civilian along on an op? We'll draft the necessary paperwork later. I have a feeling that we're going to need him. "
"So long as he agrees and you bring him back healthy I understand that time is of the essence. However, if anything happens to our guest, Colonel, I will let you be the one to face his parents." Gen. Hammond said.
"Understood sir. Oh and there's a little matter of a Goa'uld symbiote here, I think it's dying but maybe the Tok'ra can get information from it. It's already left its host body-we'll need a container or something." O'Neill asked.
"I'll have the doctor bring the appropriate equipment. Be careful. Hammond out."
Clark looked excitedly at O'Neill. "You want me to come with you? To help you fight?"
O'Neill nodded ruefully. "Well, seeing as you single-handedly defeated the entire invasion force and then knocked out its leader, I think it'll actually be the other way around."
"Huh?" Clark asked.
Sam smiled at him. "He means, basically we'll be backup to you, as you take care of the force on the ship. Just do what you did here. You were amazing."
Clark blushed and looked around the bay. The entire Jaffa forces had been rounded up and were secured. He looked down at the unmoving snake-like form, which he knew to be the real enemy he had battled. In the blink of an eye the Goa'uld leapt off the floor and flew towards Maj. Carter.
"No!" he yelled and reacted instinctively. His heat vision kicked in and seared Apis to a crisp.
Daniel heard his cry, saw the danger to Sam, and fired the Zat gun three times. The fried rogue Goa'uld sparkled and disintegrated into nothing.
Sam gasped, and then looked at Clark and Daniel.
Next to her, she heard Col. O'Neill say, "Oh darn. Now we don't get to interrogate it." He didn't sound broken up about it in the least.
With their god dead, the Jaffa on the ship surrendered immediately. Stargate Command had a nice Goa'uld ship to study and break down. Martha and Jonathan got a hefty amount of money to keep quiet about the SGC, and told people who wondered how the farmers were suddenly wealthy that they won the lottery. Clark went back to school and told everyone his mysterious Uncle was fine, but wanted him to visit more often, so he was away a lot on weekends and holidays. He joined SG-1 on many missions to save the world, looking on each new planet for a key to his own origins. He never found anything, though.
The Tobos natives were relocated to a world with the Unas, their distant cousins. They kept in touch with Earth, sharing their knowledge, some of which actually helped to defeat the Goa'uld. Chloe and Pete grilled Clark mercilessly on his time away, but he never cracked. Pete kept "dating" Cherise (he deliberately set out to fail Math just so he would need a tutor) until he saw her dropped off one day, kissing a tall man passionately. When told that it was her fiancé, he sighed regretfully and decided to excel in Math to spite him. He ended up getting an A.
Lex couldn't be bought off, so he was given a deal. Stay silent and not let the public know what was happening on a daily basis underneath an innocuous mountain, and he would get to play with toys. His sharp brain was at first overloaded with all the alien artifacts and machines and cultures, but then he got a grip and began to streamline procedures for the military. Using the now-successful plant in Smallville as a guide, he proceeded to show Gen. Hammond how to make the best of his budget. He even managed to get the Stargate program increases. Worlds (literally!) of possibilities had opened up to the young Luthor, and he began to make the most of them. He remained Clark's steadfast friend and the two would relax at the end of the weekend back at the mansion, eating popcorn and watching movies and talking about how Clark's latest mission went and what latest find Lex had made. Sometimes they made the trek back to a burnt-out shed in a field where it had all started, sharing secret grins. Clark's ship had never opened, the key never found. It didn't bother the teen, he was happy. His abilities were being used to help save the world, and he had great friends. All in all, Clark thought, life just didn't get much better than this.
The End.
Of course, this didn't really leave much room for a sequel, so I rewrote it and added several chapters. Now this story is really done, and you can go off and read the next one :) Have a great day.
