Author's Note: No... I shouldn't... I mustn't! I have so many other fanfics started already and I don't know where this one is going anyway... Oh fine. I wouldn't be typing this if I didn't already give in.

I guess I just wrote this first little bit for the sake of it. I got interested in this idea when I started watching Stargate SG-1 on Netflix again. So I immediately dashed to FFnet thinking that surely someone had done this better than I possibly could already. But all the fics I read I found sort of... lacking. I could picture something much more... canonical (according to my spellcheck that's actually a word, color me surprised) then what they delivered. So I figured, if you want something done right...

I admit it, I might never ever continue this, the idea is just too fuzzy. But I wanted to share what I already had in my head.

So, without further ado...

Stargate Avatar: The Legend of The Goa'uld

SG-1 stepped through the Stargate cautiously, taking in the dark surroundings as well as they could. Daniel immediately turned on his floodlight and started to peruse the chamber they were in.

"This looks a bit like a Shaolin monastery. Or rather, the inner sanctum of some Shaolin temples in Tibet look a bit like this. I'm not familiar enough with their mythos to be sure, but I don't think they're much into the multiple gods thing. So Goa'uld influence doesn't seem likely." Daniel said as he scanned the walls.

"Think we'll find any tech?" Jack asked.

"Well... Monks are known for very humble living. So it's unlikely. But come look that these murals. They depict a type of martial arts we know on Earth as Ba Gua Zhang, but in these pictures they seem to depict the motion of the air around them. As though they could control it through body movement." Daniel was dragging the light across the wall so Jack could get a better look.

"That sounds suspiciously like advanced technology." Jack snarked.

"Quite possibly." Daniel agreed. "But we're in a secluded holy chamber. We'll need to get out of here and look around if we want to verify it."

"What sort of technology would allow for that sort of thing?" Sam wondered aloud as she came up to look at the wall.

"Something really nifty." Jack answered.

====[A few month's later...]====

Upon investigation of the entire complex (which turned out to resemble a Shaolin Monastery as Daniel predicted) they didn't uncover any indications of technology. However the archeological front had Daniel completely fascinated.

"These buildings aren't particularly old. A few thousand years maybe. But there are indications that there were people living in here as recently as 100 years ago. They were wiped out rather suddenly by some other society. It was a complete genocide. We're standing in the middle of this planet's very own lost civilization." Daniel explained with glee.

"So you figure there are still people around here?" Jack asked.

"Well... not here per-say,. We're in a ruin on top of a ridiculously high mountain. But on this planet definitely. Whoever wiped these people out are likely still around somewhere." Daniel answered.

"That's encouraging." The sarcasm in Jack's voice was laid rather thick. A genocidal race was still wandering about and likely looking for anyone who might have attachments to the temple that the Archeological Team had set up in? Jack's confidence in the safety of his best friend went down a couple notches.

"They're not like they're going to come back. The people who lived here were clearly pretty thoroughly wiped out." Daniel assured. Jack waved him off.

"Well, it looks like you've got things covered here. Now that's I've checked on you and the dork squad I guess I'm free to go home." Jack said, hoping to avoid more talk of not-so-ancient cultures. He waved at the technician nearest the DHD and they started up the gate. It had just sprung to life and started going through the motions when...

"WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" A young voice yelled from down one of the hallways. They didn't sounds exactly angry, more outraged and indignant. There was a sound of what seemed to be unnaturally hurried footsteps and then a teenager dressed in yellow robes and carrying a wooden staff came into view in the doorway. He caught sight of the Stargate just as the Event Horizon came into being and skittered to a stop looking dumbfounded. A girl clad in blue joined him shortly thereafter and simply gazed at the Stargate, awestruck by what she saw.

"Umm..." Daniel thought quickly to diffuse what might become a bad situation. "My name is Daniel Jackson, peaceful explorer. Who're you?" He looked briefly to Jack, who was on high alert.

Jack motioned to the tech to power down the gate. As the Event Horizon dissipated the two teenagers gasped. After a moment, when the Stargate was still and lifeless, the boy seemed to realize that Daniel had asked a question.

"I'm Avatar Aang, and this is my fiancee Master Katara of the Southern Water Tribe." He said, using he best voice of authority.

Daniel didn't know the significance of the title, but he understood by the tone of voice that it probably carried some weight on this world. Taking a guess he gave a small respectful Asian-style bow.

The boy, Aang, looked somewhat appeased by this gesture, but oddly annoyed at the same time. The girl, Katara, looked unconvinced and suspicious.

"Who did you say you were again?" She asked. She kept glancing around to look at the equipment but quickly returning to Daniel's gaze in an attempt to keep eye-contact as well.

"My name is Daniel Jackson. I'm an explorer. We came through the Stargate." Daniel gestured towards the gate so that they'd know what he was talking about.

Katara turned to Aang as if to verify this claim. Aang just looked at the Stargate warily.

"It's a device that can lead to other worlds when you activate it. That blue light you saw when you first came in... that was a portal that led back to the world we came from." Daniel explained.

"So... you were going home.?" Aang asked hopefully.

Daniel almost didn't want to tell the kid no. He clearly saw this as a situation he had to resolve, nevermind the fact that he couldn't be more than 14.

"We weren't planning on it, no." Jack answered for him. "But if you cooperate then we'll be out of here a lot faster and you'll have nothing to worry about."

Katara tensed. One hand went to her waist and the other crossed in front of her. No one saw any weapons but Jack raised his rifle anyway. Before it could escalate Aang grabbed Katara's arm, almost more quickly than Jack and Daniel could follow.

"Don't." Aang warned. Daniel didn't know if he was talking to Katara or Jack.

"Jack, you didn't have to make that sound like a threat." Daniel scolded. "He doesn't mean anything like he implied. We just want to ask you some questions. Our main purpose is to explore this world and learn about the people who live here." Daniel explained, stepping in front of Jack.

Katara visibly relaxed and Aang released her arm. As she put her arms down Daniel was able to get a look at what she'd been reaching for. It looked like a simple Waterskin. He wondered what it could possibly be filled with that could be considered a weapon...

Author's Note: And there we have it. It's not beta'd or edited very much since I was in a hurry to get it out. But... I might continue it. I've got a few really good ideas for it.
