(Chapter-39)

A few days later the 'Scooby Gang' was sitting in the dinning hall when Rachael walked in, "Sam, General Hammond is on the line." Sam nodded, "I'll be right there." A few minutes later Sam and the rest of the 'Scooby Gang' was in the Command Center. General Hammond smiled, "Good news Major, Thor has talked to the Asgard High Counsil and they agreed to take care of Kinsey. All you need to do is be in position in thirty minutes." Sam smiled, "We'll be there sir."

Thirty minutes later the 'Scooby Gang' had Kinsey and were standing on the new soccer field. Kinsey looked at the girls, "You..." Before he could finish a blinding white light enveloped them and they were now standing on Thor's ship 'The Beliskner.' Kinsey looked around, "What the hell are we doing here?" O'Neill smiled, "Thor! Buddy! Good to see you. I think you know everyone here?"

The small Asgard nodded once and then turned to the senator. "Senator Kinsey, I believe we have met before. It seems that you did not take me seriously on that occasion." Kinsey sneered, "What? I have no idea what the alien is talking about." The rest of the group took a collective breath at the Senator's disdain. Thor looked at Kinsey, "I mentioned then that it was not wise to underestimate me."

Thor looked directly at Kinsey, "Now I have learned about your treachery with regards to the Choosen Protectors and their offspring." Kinsey looked around, "What?" He repeated, this time more angrily. Thor just stared at Kinsey, "While the Asgard do not normally interfere with the internal affairs of planets under its protection, we feel that this case is an exception." O'Neill folded his arms, trying desperately to stop the grin spreading across his face.

Thor tipped his head and regarded the Senator closely. "I did not believe humans were capable of such cruelty. Your actions put the whole galaxy in jeopardy and for that you shall be punished." Kinsey turned, "What on earth are you talking about? Mr. President, how can you allow this... this being to kidnap us in such a way?"

"Oh this isn't a kidnap Kinsey, more of a scheduled stop on the tour," the President said. "General Hammond was kind enough to fill me in on what has happened and I asked General Hammond to arrange the rest. Of course, as we are technically in Asgard territory, our laws have no jurisdiction."

"I too have read General Hammond's report," Thor continued, "I must say I am alarmed that something like this could ever be allowed to happen; but you are still very young, so these things are to be expected. I have consulted your legal regulations to decide an appropriate punishment. I believe a set number of years in prison is called for." Kinsey was purple with rage, "This is preposterous! You can't just send me to prison. There has to be a fair trail, a chance for me to defend myself."

Kinsey's jaw smacked shut and he whirled round the people standing there looking for some support. He found none. "This won't be the end; I'll have my lawyers all over you by the end of the day! You have nothing on me!" He bellowed. Thor blinked. "We have made a choice of suitable location. We will be there momentarily. Is everything prepared O'Neill?" O'Neill looked at the others and grinned broadly, "Yep, it's all good."

Sam looked up at the screen that displayed the chosen place; the new prison at the Alpha site. She returned Jack's smile, "Nice choice sir." O'Neill shrugged his shoulders, "It just popped into my head." Thor looked at Kinsey, "The Asgard High Council deems twenty years to be an appropriate amount of time." "What?" Kinsey cried. But before he could say more, he dematerialized and reappeared in a cell on the screen.

"You may converse with him if you wish." Thor said. Jack stepped to the console, "The thing is Kinsey, your lawyers won't know where you are; and we can't tell them – it's all highly classified you know." Thor blanked the screen before they heard the Senator's yell. Hammond looked at Thor, "Thank you Thor. I'm sure we would never have achieved this without your help." Thor nodded, "You are welcome General Hammond. The Asgard is proud to have such strong alies as the Tau'ri."

Thor bowed and walked back to the control panel. While they had been talking, the ship had jumped once more to be over earth. "Until we meet again," Thor bowed. A white light engulfed the whole party and they all found themselves where they started from.

A few hours later the 'Scooby Gang' was sitting in the dinning hall having something to eat and were talking about the recient events. Faith smiled as she sat her glass of tea down, "Now all we have to do is defeat Mot and get the ship from him so it can be used to fight the Ori." Shego nodded, "Now that's something I would like to see." Sam shook her head, "From what I heard no you don't. Except for the BattleCruisers that have been retrofitted with the Asgard weapons and shields. If your ship comes across an Ori ship it's over." Sam thought for a minute, "Can the Ori weapons penetrate Starfleet shields?"

Faith sat back, "I don't know, Starfleet shields are stronge." Sam sat back, "Is there a way to find out?" Faith shook her head, "Not without installing them on a ship and have them go up against an Ori ship." Faith leaned foward, "Oh hell no, you ain't using my Runabout." Sam smiled, "Don't worry, I was thinking of using the Al'Kesh." Faith smiled, "Then by all means teast the shields."

Everybody laughed. Sam smiled, "You really like that shuttle don't you?" Faith nodded taking a bite of her burger, "Yep, that's how we get up to date infromation on the planets for the school." Just as she said that a huge explosion was heard. Faith dropped her food and ran to the window, "We just had an explosion in the witchcraft wing." The 'Scooby Gang' ran to the wing to assist with the girls who were hurt. But when they got there they found no one was injured.

Faith scratched her head, "What the hell happened?' Piper walked out covered in sut smiling, "WOW!" Faith smiled, "What was that?" Piper smiled, "I was trying a glamour spell and it backfired." Faith laughed, "Backfired isn't the word for it." Piper smiled, "We'll have the mess cleaned up in about an hour." Buffy smiled, "While they clean up the classroom you need to get cleaned up yourself."

A few hours later the classroom was cleaned up and Piper was telling Faith what happened. Piper shook her head, "I still can't believe I added to much wolfsbane, the spell called for one twig of wolfsbane. So I added one twig, what I didn't know is that it requires one bare twig. The one I put in had little shoots coming off of it."

Buffy smiled, "Didn't it hurt when the spell exploded?" Piper shook her head, "Most spells just explode into a lot of sut. However there is one that not even I would do, it's a spell that can alter a persons mind. If that spell isn't mixed right it'll leave a creator the size of the great creator in Arizona where you were standing." Faith winced a bit, "Ouch." Piper nodded, "It almost happened to me. Lucky for me and San Francisco it just fizzled out." Faith looked at her watch, "Well time for me to get back to the dinning hall." Piper nodded, "And time for me to get back to the classroom." Faith nodded, "I'll talk to ya later."

A few minutes later Faith and Buffy were back in the dinning hall. Sam looked up, "Glad you could make it. I'm going to give Hammond a call and find out where the nearest Ori ship is so we can install the Starfleet shields on the Al'Kesh and test them against their weapons."

Faith nodded, "How long will it take to install the shields on the Al'Kesh?" Sam smiled, "Not long at all, I should have them installed in a couple of hours." Faith nodded, "Good cause we'll need ya here when we take on Mot again." Just then Rachael walked in, "It's Diana Van Helsing, she sounds desprite." Faith nodded, "We'll be right there."

Several minutes later in the Command Center Faith was looking at the main screen, "Hey Diana, what can we do for ya?" Diana was on the vrege of tears, "It's Mia, she going into the Zone tonight without any back-up." Faith's jaw hit the floor, "Is she out of her damn mind." Diana shook her head, "She said she's doing this to prove we don't need your help in taking out the Vampires and Demons." Faith rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Al right, we'll be there in about an hour. Just try and keep her there."

Diana nodded, "I'll try." Diana cut the connection. Faith looked at the others, "Make sure the weapons are fully loaded, " Faith then turned to Rachael, "Rachael put the teams on stand-by, I want everyone ready to move into the Zone at a moments notice." Rachael nodded, "Yes ma'am." Faith shook her head, "Either that bitch is crazy, or she has a death wish." Shego shook her head, "I don't know but we need to stop her or get her out of there."

An hour later the 'Scooby Gang' was at the wearhouse that the Van Helsings were using as a base of operation. Faith looked at Diana when she walked in, "Is Mia here?" Diana shook her head, "No, I tried to keep her here because you wanted to talk to her. But she said she had nothing to say to that two bit ameture." Faith nodded and turned and looked at the Paula, Richard, and Thomas, "I brought some weapons for you to use leave yours here. They won't work."

Faith looked at Shego and Kim, "I need you two to stay here with Diana and monitor the situation from this end." Shego nodded, "You got it." Faith smiled, "Besided we haven't gotten back the test results on the toxin screen yet." Kim nodded, "Better safe the sorry." Shego looked at her friend, "Be safe." Faith nodded, "I intend to." Diana looked up, "Bring back my sister please." Faith smiled, "Yes ma'am." A moment later they were all headed to the Zone to rescue Mia.
