Thor's Slayers

Chapter One

Unexpected Guests

Timeline: Thor's Slayers takes place almost immediately after Chosen, the Buffy series finale, and in the early seventh season of Stargate: SG-1.
Main Characters: With Jonas gone, SG-1 will be back to its original team of Jack, Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c whereas the central character from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer will be Faith. It's possible I will add more BtVS characters as I go on, but I have nothing planned yet.
Rating: T+ for now because Faith. I don't anticipate anything naughty, but I expect more than a little foul language. It's possible I'll move it up to M later because Faith, and even if I don't anticipate any explicit scenes, it is Faith we're dealing with and there are a great many good looking men and women there.
Disclaimer: I am not Joss Whedon and I am neither Roland Emmerich nor Dean Devlin, they are the ones that built the wonderful television shows that inspired this fanfic.

Author's Notes: I have written two fanfiction stories before this and received great feedback on them so I thought I'd move on from Star Wars AU to a crossover story. I was tempted to keep doing Star Wars, but hey, I love Buffy and SG-1 and thought I'd see what I can do with it. Warning, I haven't done a crossover story before so keep that in mind if this turns into a trainwreck. I have seen all of SG-1 and BtVS, but it has been a while, so it's very possible that I'll mess some of the canon/timelines.

I really liked season seven of SG-1 because the story had progressed so far but you were still left with the original team and the Buffy series finale gives a very open and ambiguous future. While I've combed through the Buffy comic sequels, I haven't directly read them, so I'm just going to ignore them. I'm still debating internally on whether I want to follow SG-1 canon (a serial plot following the 7th season TV plots) or branch off entirely. Please give me feedback, especially if I mess up facts or to give me pointers. Well, here goes nothing. I'm also still debating whether I just want this to be a quick meet and greet or if I really want to develop this story.

Update: 12/4/16 - Minor corrections performed as well as adding a time for the story to begin. Chosen, the final episode of BtVS aired on May 20, so my story will be giving a couple weeks breather here. In relation to Angel, there is going to be some slight discrepancy because the end of AtVS was three weeks before Chosen, with them joining Wolfram & Hart.

Jack O'Neill stretched his arms and groaned as he and his team descended down the ramp from the still-active Stargate into the depths of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. "That...was extraordinarily boring."

"Jack, there were some interesting tablets inscribed in an unfamiliar language in those ruins, I'm not sure what it is yet, and that in itself is worth studying," Daniel said thoughtfully as they began their slow journey through the base.

Jack rolled his eyes. "As I said, boring."

Teal'c said nothing, but it was a loud nothing.

Daniel shot a smirk at Sam. "Alright then, see you at the debriefing."

"Colonel O'Neill, welcome back. How was P3X-742?" General Hammond asked.

"There were some interesting trees and Daniel found some nifty new rocks," Jack replied with a sour face.

When the General turned his expectant gaze towards Daniel, the archaeologist glared at his team leader. "There didn't appear to be any recent activity of any kind and those interesting 'rocks' I found were tablets that contained an unfamiliar language. It shares some characteristics of Sumerian but..." Daniel shrugged, "I'll continue looking it over. Given the nature of the ruins, I don't believe it will yield much in the way of 'practical knowledge'."

General Hammond nodded. "Anything else to report? Major Carter? Teal'c?"

Sam shook her head. "No sir."

Teal'c's face remained placid as he spoke, "no, General Hammond."

Jack moved to get up, "Well, if that's it—"

"Hold it Colonel, there were some developments here on Earth that I wanted to discuss."

"Oh?" Jack inquired as he settled back into his chair.

"While you were gone, a city in California disappeared into a giant sinkhole. Oddly enough, there doesn't appear to have been as many casualties as one might expect. Despite the total lack of forewarning or official evacuation notice, the residents apparently had been leaving the city in the preceding weeks. None of them could answer why they had done so. Even odder is the fact there appears to be no sound reason for the city to have collapsed; there was no seismic activity, there were no reports of any sort of attack, and the tunnel system underneath the city that is being blamed for the collapse doesn't even exist. Sunnydale, California was buried for no discernible reason."

"That's...odd and terrible for the people who've lost their homes, but why is this relevant to us?" Sam asked, wincing at how callous her statement sounded.

A brilliant white light flashed through the room, making everyone present blink or avert their eyes. When they were able to see clearly again, there was a small grey being with large black eyes seated on a thronelike chair.

"That's why," the general said in a less than happy tone.

"Thor, buddy, how you been?" Jack asked cheerfully.

"I am doing well, O'Neill," the grey-skinned Asgard said, blinking his large black eyes.

"You wanted to bring Sunnydale to our attention?" Sam ventured.

The Asgard blinked again. "Yes, Samantha Carter. The location of Sunnydale is important, and its collapse is alarming."

"Why is it significant to the Asgard?" Teal'c asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It is of significant importance to everyone, Teal'c. There was a portal located directly beneath the city of Sunnydale," Thor replied.

"A third Stargate?" Jack asked incredulously, "And you only thought to tell us now?"

"There was no Stargate, O'Neill, it was a portal. I never spoke of it because it was..." There was a pause that usually indicated Thor was searching for the right words. "...not under your jurisdiction."

There was a moment of silence where the tension was nearly tangible.

"Thor, buddy, where did this portal lead to, and whose jurisdiction did it fall under?" Jack asked, trying to focus on the reasons why he liked Thor and the Asgard.

"It was a portal to a different dimension, O'Neill. A dimension that, if opened, could cause great chaos even beyond your world. The portal was under the guardianship of the Slayer."

General Hammond could hear the capital S in Slayer and felt a migraine coming on. "What or who is this Slayer?"

Thor cocked his head and looked at each of the other individuals present. Another slow blink. "I had believed you were aware of the Slayer; there are several government bodies that have files on them. The collapse of Sunnydale is alarming, but other developments that have occurred since then are just as significant. At any given time, there should be only one Slayer on the planet. At almost the exact time of the collapse of Sunnydale, we were made aware of a massive energy fluctuation and the sudden presence of hundreds of Slayers."

"You monitor this...Slayer?" Daniel asked, clearly as confused as the others.

"For as long as we have been aware of this world, we have done so," Thor confirmed, then paused, "It would be more accurate, however, to state that the Nox are the ones that inform us of sudden significant changes."

"Thor, what is so important about the Slayer?" Sam asked, frowning in thought.

"The destruction of Sunnydale and the presence of so many Slayers, which should be an impossibility, is something that you should have been aware of. That you aren't aware of the Slayer at all is likely a result of the interference from multiple governments in addition to your Department of Defense. To my knowledge, at least one government organization has become aware of the Slayer," Thor replied.

"NID," Jack swore underneath his breath and General Hammond grimaced.

"So that you can understand their importance and their..." Thor paused and tilted his head again, "...jurisdiction, I will bring a Slayer here. I have already located one using records from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and from the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart. I will bring her in now."

"Wait, what!?" Jack asked in alarm and getting to his feet. "Thor, don't—"

There was a bright flash.

There was a high pitched 'what the fuck!'

Jack caught a glimpse of brown hair and a fist aimed his way.

And then there was blackness.
