A/N: Time for another update and you know you were waiting for it! I know one person by the name of Gregory actually threatening to come after me if I did not update soon. -gulp-
Anyway the feed back had been largely positive and I want to tank all of you for your support, but I must warn you that this Chapter will mainly be taking place in the SGC, but that will change very soon as the story progresses.
But enough of this, on to the story!

[ Conference... ]
"So let me get this strait, you are the princess of a planet named Kinmoku and you came here in search of the Tau'ri, because you think they can stop an demonic entity which destroyed your planet and ultimately save the galaxy from that creature?" O'Neil asked the princess, as he and Kakyuu sat within the confines of the SGC's conference room and discussed the events which had transpired over the last few days.
Using the same alien devices from the infirmary to translate, Kakyuu told the Air Force general about her home world of how it came under attack by an "creature" calling itself "Galaxia". It was not an easy story for the young woman to tell the older male, as she basically had to relive those horrific days on Kinmoku just to tell her tale. She told them of how her planet tried but ultimately failed to drive the demon and her minions back, as her home was reduced to rubble. They struck so fast and without warning. When it was realized that Kinmoku was doomed, in a last ditch effort to save the Universe from this creature, Kakyuu's father had sent her to find the legendary Tau'ri.
A race which was said to have faced off with numerous threats from around the galaxy and had defeated each and every one of them in clever ways. As the princess continued to tell general her story, O'Neil's expression remained rather neutral, except for the occasional eyebrow twitch anytime Kakyuu said Tau'ri. 'Boy is she in for a surprise' the general thought to himself, as he knew that the Tau'ri were in fact himself and everyone else on Earth.
"So you see general O'Neil it is imperative that I find the Tau'ri." Kakyuu said with an pleading tone in her voice. "The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance."
"Believe me, the fate of the galaxy always hangs in the balance when someone is threatening it." O'Neil replied, "But you still have not told us of how you were able to override our systems and keep us from closing the iris."
"I... I don't know." Kakyuu admitted. "All I knew want that when I arrived, I... just felt so drained and before I knew it I was in your medical facility."
"Well then... maybe you can tell me how did you get out gate address?" O'Neil asked. His voice was not angry nor threatening, but Kakyuu could tell that this man found her story hard to believe. But she still had to at lest try to gain his trust.
"My father was able to get this address you speak of, from our allies, the Asgard." Kakyuu replied, catching the general's attention almost immediately. Something which did not go unnoticed by the princess. "You are familiar with the Asgard?"
"We've... have had some dealings in the past." O'Neil replied, knowing very well that the Asgard was Earth's most powerful ally. "They gave you are address?"
"Yes." Kakyuu confirmed. "They said that the Tau'ri were their most trusted ally and that they have helped them when their race was threatened by another great evil."
'The Replicators...' the general thought to himself. The Replicators in question were advanced robots which were able to reproduce themselves by consuming any and all resources in their reach. The Asgard had been fighting these creatures for years and if it were not for the actions of SG-1, the Replicators would have claimed the Asgard home world.
"This... 'Evil' which destroyed your world, where did she come from?" O'Neil asked the princess, curious as to what it was which posed a new threat to the galaxy.
"Legend states that at one time she was a great warrior who once protected the galaxy." Kakyuu began to explain, "but after a faithful battle with a entity known as Chaos, she went mad and began to destroy entire planets."
'Why does that sound so familiar?' the Air Force general thought.
"Have you been able to contact my home?" Kakyuu suddenly asked, a sad yet hopeful expression forming on her face as her eyes slowly peered down at the table in front of her. Kakyuu knew that the chances were slim, but deep down she refused to believe that the entire planet was gone, she needed to know if their were anyone still left on Kinmoku.
"I'm sorry, but we have been unable to establish a link to your planet." O'Neil replied with a sympathetic expression of his own. "My guess would be that your planet's Stargate has been buried."
'Under the destroyed palace...' Kakyuu thought sadly, as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Something which did not go unnoticed by the Air Force officer.
"Well it may not be much, but I have organized a room for you to stay in for the time being." O'Neil stated, as he could not help but to feel sad for the princess. "Just remember, you are not our prisoner, but you are a guest of the United States Air Force and the SGC."
"You are very kind, thank you General." Kakyuu said a with a small smile. Quite possibly the first time she had smiled in weeks.
"Don't mention it, and called me O'Neil." the general replied, just an an unarmed airmen came into the room. "Airman Morrison will show you to your quarters."
The red haired monarch just nodded before before she got up and was escorted out of the conference room, leaving Jack alone to ponder his recent meeting with Kakyuu. Truth be told the idea of some kind of super being going mad with power and destroying planets sounded a bit far fetched to the Air Force general to say the very least. But then again he was in command of a section of the U.S. military which fought aliens who wanted to be viewed as gods, so who was he to judge?
Either way the Princess' warning was something which the general did not take lightly. He made a mental note to try to contact the Asgard and find out if they could shed some light on this Galaxia individual. As well as to pick Daniel's brain about their being any ancient text about this "super" being he had been warned about.
"General O'Neil, there is an call for you from General Hammond." A male voice suddenly announced over com system which was mounted on the table.
"I'll take it in my office." O'Neil replied, just he got up from his seat exited the room.
'I wonder if this was how ol' George felt like after he spoke to every uninvited guest?'

A few days had passed and even though Kakyuu still found it difficult to adjust to life in an underground military facility, the princess was still able to adapt to her new environment. With the aid of the one she knew as Jackson, Kakyuu was able to at least understand some of this "English" language which was being spoken by everyone around her and it was long before the princess was able to speak in conversation without the aid of the translator device. A fact which surprised both O'Neil and Jackson, greatly.
With her new found skill in the English Language, Kakyuu was able to keep her mind occupied by reading some books which had been provided to her. It was in this way that the monarch was able to get a better understanding of this world, as well as her hosts.
Kakyuu was surprised to learn that this planet was home to so many people, who all had their own unique cultures and beliefs. Not to mention that the entire planet had been broken up into so many countries with their own individual governments. In truth it was reminiscent of what her home world had once been like before her people had become united. But what really caught the princess' attention was the fact that nowhere was there any mention of the "Stargate" or the SGC.
This revelation lead Kakyuu to believe that both were not known to the general population and that was how this United States Air Force wanted it to be, a secret. But even though she now had more knowledge about her host and this world, Kakyuu felt that she was not any closer to locating the Tau'ri and she even wondered if these people even knew just how serious the threat was from Galaxia.
But as Kakyuu pondered just what she could do, she was completely unaware that faith was about come to her aid. As the SGC was going to play host to another guest.

"Mister Ito, welcome to the SGC." General O'Neil said with a slight bow, as he and rest of SG-1 stood in the conference room and got ready meet with an representative of one of the Stargate program's backers.
Standing before them was a Japanese man who was in his mid to late forties, his jet black hair neatly combed and he was dressed in a black business suit. On his suit was a small Japanese flag which was pinned on the left side of his chest, while in his hands was a small brief case which held information in which his government thought should be shared with the SGC. The man in question was Matoki Ito, and he was sent by the Japanese government to discuss something which was of the highest priority to his country.
"Thank you, general." Ito replied with a bow of his own, before the assembled group took their seats.
"General Hammond contacted me and said that the Japanese government had an issue they think we are best qualified to deal with?" O'Neil asked curiously, to which Mr. Ito nodded before he rested his brief case on the table clicked it open.
"General... what I am about to share with you... may be hard for you to believe." Ito stated, as he opened up his brief case and passed out 8x10 pictures to the SGC team. "Just over two years ago, strange creatures and occurrences began to be reported through out the city of Tokyo. What you are seeing are photographs which were taken by eyewitnesses of these events."
Sure enough, the photographs which were handed to them contained images which were beyond explanation. One contained an image of what looked like a bus lifting off the ground and into some kind of portal, while another had the image of a strange plant like creature attacking school girls on a city street.
"Um... I have had some friends who were stationed in Japan and they told me about things like this happening." Colonel Samantha Carter, replied. As she looked on that the photographs in disbelief. "But I just thought they were kidding around, never heard anything on the news."
"That's because your government is not the only ones who can keep a secret." the Japanese male replied. "We have been able to keep these events out of the media, so as to not panic the population."
"If you don't mind me asking, but what does this have to do with us?" O'Neil asked curiously, as he looked at another 8x10 which had the image of what looked like a boat shaped air ship in the sky.
"Recently we have had incidents of actual persons turning into these... monsters, after they were accosted by strangely dressed individuals." Ito commented, as he handed out more 8x10s which showed "blown up" images of female figures dressed in rather odd attire which made her look like a cat. While another image was that of a girl with mouse like features "We have never seen anything like it before."
"Wait a minute, if you have had all these happening going on in Japan for so long, who... have been dealing with them in the past?" Jackson asked curiously, as he continued to study the pictures before him. To answer the archaeologist's question, the representative of the Japanese government another set photographs. This time though, the pictures showed images of women who were dressed in what could have been best described as a perverts idea of a school uniform.
"They call themselves the 'Sailor Senshi'" Ito stated. "They appeared just as these strange occurrences began. If you can believe it, they have a bit of a fan following in Tokyo as they seem to be keen on keeping my countrymen safe."
"Well if they have been keeping your city safe, then why is your government asking for our help?" the Air Force general asked curiously, as his mind tried to wrap around what he had just been shown and told.
"Because before we were not aware of your government's Stargate program when these things first began to appear." Ito replied. "But with recent events and my country's commitment to the operation of the SGC..."
"Let me guess, you scratched our backs, now it's time for us to scratch yours?" The general said flatly.
"I would not have put it in such a way." Ito replied, "But we fear that this could be prelude to something much bigger."
"General, these could be a possible threat." Carter added. "We have seen just what he Goa'uld are capable of. They have been quiet since the death of Anubus, but that does not mean they are still not out to get us."
There was a moment of silence as O'Neil began to process what he had just been told, coupled with had transpired over the past week. "Mr. Ito, I promise you that the SGC will look into this. Like the colonel said, these incidents could be the work of the System Lords."
"Thank you, general." the Japanese representative replied, "My government shall be very pleased indeed."
A few more minutes passed by before the meeting came to an end, in which in that time Mr. Ito and SG-1 went over a few detail on just how they would deal with this new threat.
"General, is it just me or do these recent attacks in Japan sound very familiar?" Carter asked her commander, just minutes after they saw Ito leave the bunker.
"Too familiar." the General replied, as he could remember Kakyuu telling him about how this Galaxia person destroyed her world"And if anything, this just confirms what our guest have been warning us about."
"If this is the case, then we are gonna have to assemble a task force to go to Japan and investigate." Jackson commented. "and will Teal'c still off world trying with Bra'tac, we will be short."
"Well we will just have to bring in some new people in to help us just for this mission." Carter stated, just as the group began to make their down the main corridor. "So... do you want to tell her?"
"Tell her what?" the general asked curiously.
"Tell Kakyuu that she is going to be apart of the team going to Japan?"
"Oh yea. Of course, I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page." O'Neil replied quickly, as the group arrived at his office. With the appearance of this new threat, Princess Kakyuu's past experience with these individual could prove to be vital to the mission at hand. "Well we still need persons to go with us to Japan, so I expect you two to have your choices ready by tomorrow. But for now, lets get some rest."
"And you general?"
"I'm gonna make some calls to Japan, I have a friend who is in command of Yokota air base. The base would be the perfect place to set up shop.." O'Neil replied, before entering his office and shutting the door. Leaving Carter and Jackson to figure out just who they will be taking to Japan with them for the investigation.
