Title: Not An AU? 28/100 TtH Prompt: #45 Dimensions Summary: SG-1 learns about where the vortex sent them. Not An AU? “Where are we?” Vala asked, getting up from the hard ground. The landing on the other side of the vortex had been rough. “My guess is another dimension,” Buffy said, dusting the dirt off of her pants. “One of those alternate reality things like Jackson and the original SG-1 have experienced before?” Cameron asked, looking around. There wasn’t much to see. The land around them was a rocky barren landscape and the sky was a dull purple. “No, this is completely different,” Buffy said, as she searched her pockets for something. “How?” Cameron asked, looking over at her. She ran a hand through her blonde hair and sighed. “Lemme see if I remember this correctly. Willow explained this to me once, but it was a while ago. There are different types of dimensions – hell, heaven, and something in between like ours. There are hundreds or even thousands of them. Inside each dimension are alternate realities that form. Eventually the alternate realities differ so much that they create new dimensions so it’s always expanding. Or something like that. Honestly, it was all very confusing and over my head so I kind of tuned her out after a few minutes.” “And how do we get out of here?” Daniel asked. “With this,” Buffy said, pulling a small crystal out of her pocket. “A crystal… is going to get us back to our dimension?” Cameron asked, skepticism coloring his voice. “Sort of,” she replied. She wrapped her fingers around it and closed her eyes. A moment later she began chanting. “What’s she saying?” Cameron asked. “It’s Latin,” Daniel said with a small frown. “She never mentioned she could speak it.” “Translation, Jackson.” “She’s entreating help in finding lost souls to bring them home,” he said, as Buffy finished. She opened her eyes and showed them the crystal that now pulsed with an inner blue light. “Whoa,” Cameron said. “What’s it doing?” “Sending a signal to Willow so she can rescue us.” “But if we’re in a different dimension how is she going to receive it?” Vala asked. “Because it was designed for this purpose. She’ll hear it,” Buffy assured them. She sat down and leaned against a nearby boulder. “Now we wait.” Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
