(Chapter-20)

Back at the werehouse after several hours of research Richard Van Helsing turned to his sister Mia, "I looked in everything we have and found nothing on these new Demons." Mia looked up, "They just couldn't appear out of nowhere, we have got to have something on 'em." Richard shook his head, "Nothing, it's as if these things never came from this planet." Mia stood, "Oh that's even better, Demons from another planet." Diana looked up, "You're not serious thinking these things are aliens?"

Thomas nodded, "I agree with Diana. Couldn't they be some kind of government experement to create a super soldier gone wrong." Mia shook her head, "No, the government is to cautious about their experments, what we have here are honost to god aliens." Francis sat back, "If that's the truth, then why isn't the military all over this place looking for 'em." Mia smiled, "Because my dear brother they don't want the public to know. if they did that would confirm what these conspiracy people have said all along."

Back at the school Faith and the others were laughing at some of the younger girls. The girls had a spell put on them forcing them to wear underwear when they wore a skirt. Faith smiled, "I love it, remind me to call Dumbledore and thank him for coming up with that spell. Now lets get over to the confrence room for the morning meeting." Sam stopped in her tracks, "We're not having it at the dinning hall?" Faith shook her head, "Not this time, we need a place more privet to talk."

Sam nodded, "I'll meet ya there, I was having a couple of breakfast sandwiches made. I'll just bring them to the meeting." Faith smiled, "We'll wait for ya here." Sam smiled and ran to the dinning hall to pick up her breakfast and ran back to rejoin the others, "Ok I'm ready." Buffy smiled, "I thought you said only sandwiches?" Sam smiled, "Gots to have my orange juice in the morning."

Several minutes later they were in the confrence room. Faith stood and pulled a map down of the school. Faith turned and stood at the podium, "As you know the North-East section of the school is part of the Zone, however the Vampires have been crossing the boundry we set up and been seen in the South-Eastern Section where we've been battling them and the Unas. This is going to stop."

Buffy nodded, "For those who didn't know since the North-East Section is part of the Zone we gave the Vampires free reign of the area as long as they did not cross the boundry wall, which sits five hundred yards from the Zone boundry." Shego looked at the map, "So you created a Nutral Zone between you and the Vampires Zone." Faith nodded, "Correct, ever since the Unas showed up they decided to brave the wall and cross it." Sam sat her juice down, "They could be doing that because of the Goa'uld in them."

Faith nodded, "I thought of that, but counted that out. We seen how a Vampire acts when it has a Goa'uld in it, these don't." Faith then turned and pulled another map down, this map was a close up of the North-Eastern Section, "In a few day's we'll be closing off the North-Eastern Section, we will be retaking controle of the Section. Close it off and they loose access to the South-Eastern Section." Bonnie folded her arms, "Why are they in the South-Eastern Section anyway? Except for attacking us."

Faith looked at Bonnie, "That's a good question, I never thought there might be something they would want." Faith pressed a button on the Poduim, "Rachael could you come to the confrence room please?" Rachael spoke back, "On my way."A few minutes later Rachael walked in, when she did she seen Hermione sitting on the otherside of the table. Rachael smiled and waved. Hermione blushed and smiled waving back. Faith seen this and smiled, "You two can flirt later."

Rachael and Hermione turned all different shades of red. Faith smiled, "I need you to run a scan on the South-Eastern Section of the school." Rachael nodded, "What am I looking for?" Faith shrugged her shoulders, "Anything that the Vampires and Unas might want., and would stage attacks from that area to keep us away." Rachael nodded, "I'll get right on it." Rachael turned looked at Hermione and blushed as she left.

Hermione sighed, "Damn she looks good in them blue jeans." Janet smiled, "Why don't you ask her out on a date?" Hermione looked at Janet, "I don't want her to think I puishing her into something she dosen't want." Janet smiled, "Have you ever dated another girl before?" Hermione nodded, "Just Cho back at Hogwarts." Janet smiled, "Then you should have no trouble with Rachael."

Faith looked at the map, "Starting tomorrow night their free reign stops. There for, I want three patrols along the boarder until we can get a new wall built. So until we get the wall built that's still the Zone." Faith was about to speak again when Rachael called, "Sorry to bother you so soon ma'am, but could you come down to the Command Center." A few minutes later the group arrived in the center. Shego spoke up, "What's the sitch?"

Rachael smiled, "It's these readings, the moment I brought the satellite into position it went crazy. I never seen readings like these before." Sam looked at the screen, "Are they energy readings?" Rachael shook her head, "No ma'am." Sam walked up a bit, "Let me see what you have." A moment later Sam smiled, "Ladies we have a huge cache of Naquadah sitting right under the South-Eastern Section of the school grounds." Hermione looked at Sam "What's Naquadah, and what's a Goa'uld and Unas?"

Sam sighed, "That's something I'm not allowed to tell you unless you have the security clearence, but by the way things are going, that shouldn't be any problem." Sam looked at Warner, "Hey Rachael, I need you to contact Hammond for me at the SGC." Warner smiled, "Right away ma'am." Sam nodded and then looked at Hermione, "We'll see what he says."

It didn't take much to get Hammond to agree to the clearence, he said he seen enough in the time he's been in charge of the SGC all she had to do was send him the name or names of those she want to have clearence for. So Sam not only got Hermione the clearence she got Piper, Phoebe, and Paige clearence. A few hours later the four were filled in on what Naquadah is and what an Unas and Goa'uld is. They even got the full story on the Stargate.

Back in the confrence room Faith looked at Sam, "So how do you think we can get the Naquadah?" Sam nodded, "I'm goning to make a call to Hammmond and get the crews out here that have the equipment to mine it. Now since Naquadah isn't found naturally here on earth it had to have been put there either by the Unas that work for Mot. Or the Native Americans that over threw him when the rebeled from being his slaves."

Piper sighed, "These Goa'uld sound like assholes." Sam smiled, "Most of them were before they met the Tau'ri. AKA earthlings. But there is the Tok'ra . meaning 'Against Ra' are a benevolent offshoot of the Goa'uld who oppose them philosophically and militarily." Paige shook her head, "Do the Tok'ra take hosts?"

Sam nodded, "Yes they do, but they only blend or join willing hosts, with whom they share the body equally and enjoy a truly symbiotic relationship. The Tok'ra became valuable allies of Earth and played a critical role in the defeat of most of the System Lords." Phoebe smiled, "How long did it take to defeat most of the System Lords?" Sam smiled, "It took several years, but we did it with the help of turning them against each other."

Piper nodded, "So who's left in the System Lords?" Sam sat back, 'There's Mot, but he's nothing compaired to Ba'al. He basicly sat back and let the others destory themselve while he reaped the rewards." Piper snorted, "Not only is he hungry for power, but also likes to line his pockets in the process." Sam nodded, "That's Ba'al for ya. But he hasn't bothered us for a few weeks. However he has a nack to show up when we least expect him."

Faith stood at the podium, "Any questions about what we'll be doing tomorrow night." When nobody answered faith continued, "Good, last one to the dinning hall has to pull the night shift tonight." Everybody started to scramble out of the room and make a run for the dinning hall. When they got there Hermione lost. Faith smiled, "It lookes like you're gonna get that chance to be with Rachael Warner."

Hermione stood there blushing. Shego smiled, "I think she has the hots for Rachael." Kim shrugged her shoulders, "Nothing new at this school." Hermione sighed and sat down, "What if she isn't into girls?' Faith laughed, "Trust me Hermione she into girls." Rachael ran into the dinning hall, "We have a problem, We just lost contact with all South African Field Offices." Faith sighed, "Here we go girls."

In the Command Center Rachael took her seat, "As of Three A.M. Greenwich Mean Time we lost all contact with nine of our South African Field Offices. The Apollo radioed that Several dozen Death Gliders were picked up on their radar." Faith nodded, "Have the satellite moved into postion and lets get a look at the damage."

Rachael nodded, "Yes ma'am." Hermione moved and was standing next to Warner. Warner looked up and smiled and reached over and cleaned the chair next to her off, "Have a seat. My name's Rachael Warner, what's yours?" Hermione blushed and smiled as she sat in the chair, "It's Hermione Granger." Rachael smiled, "Wanna have dinner with me tonight?" Hermione nodded, "I'd love to." Rachael turned, "Satellite coming into postion." A moment later they had clear view of the destruction and of the Death Gliders.

Sam crossed her arms, "Those are Goa'uld Death Gliders." Bonnie looked at Sam, "Is there any way to take them out?" Sam nodded, "Yes there is, Warner get me Hammond." Rachael nodded, "Yes ma'am." A moment later Hammond was on the main screen. Sam looked up, "General I need several squadrons of X-302s placed on stand-by at Edwards." Hammond nodded, "I understand Major, the Apollo contacted me a few minutes ago about the attack in South Africa. They'll be there and ready to go on your command. Hammond out."

Sam turned to Faith, "Now all we have to do is wait for them to return to base and attack." Jules leaned on the rail, "Isn't the Death Gliders going to make it back to ther base before the X-302s get here?" Sam shook her head, "No the X-302s are much faster then the Death Gliders, the X-302s will be here way before the Death Gliders make it across the pacific." Bonnie looked at the screen, "Where are the X-302s coming from?" Sam smiled, "From the fleet."

Sam looked at the screen, "The X-302s will be here an hour before the Death Gliders. When the Death gliders are ten minutes out the X-302s will launch from Edwards and be on point in less then three minutes. Once the Death Gliders arrive then you'll see what the X-302s can do." Warner looked at Sam, "The X-302s will arrive at Edwards in two hours. Death Gliders to their base entrance three hours."

Sam nodded, "Let us know when they arrive, we'll be in the dinning hall." Hermione was about to get up when Rachael looked at her, "Wanna stay here with me?" Hermione blushed, "Sure." Hermione sat back in her chair and moved closer to Rachael. Faith sighed and smiled, "It's good to see Rachael with someone again." Shego looked at the girl, "What happened?"

Faith sighed, "Two years ago a young girl wondered into the Zone just after dark, Rachael and her girlfriend at the time went in after her. The girl was saved but at the price. The other girl that went in with Rachael was her girlfriend Gina Kennedy. Rachael loved Gina, she worshiped the ground Gina walked on. The two were to get married the next day but when Gina died it nearly killed Rachael."

Sam sighed, "Lets make sure that doesn't happen again." Shego agreed, "If you don't mind Faith, I want to have Rachael permemantelly asigned to the Command Center." Faith smiled, "She's yours, and Hermione is permenatelly asigned as a teacher to our school of Witchcraft." Shego smiled, "That should give them a chance at a good life together." Sam smiled, "Now lets head to the dinning hall."
