"All right, if you're coming with us, I don't want to have to be baby-sitting you. So, you're going to learn to defend yourselves.?Cnl O'Neill looked at the teenagers, trying to assess their potential.

Robyn and Override just looked at each other, with one of those "Boy is he gonna be surprised?" looks. The group followed, as O'Neill turned, and walked towards the bases practice range.

Once arriving the Cnl turned to the group looking for a suitable first subject, looking at the motley crew he had he chose the long haired Japanese girl, what was her name, "Rei? Is that your name?" He asked, she nodded and stepped into the firing booth and received an SG1 Special Forces Team standard issue sidearm. O'Neil passed around earmuffs and then showed Rei where the safety was on the gun. "Now to shoot, you just Aim..." he lined up her arm for her "And squeeze." He finished.

BKAM! A hole appeared in the target hanging from the ceiling.

"Now try it on your own." He stepped back while Rei fired three more shots BKAM BKAM BKAM and completely removed the center of the target. "Good shots." He stated and took the Gun from her. Next he called in Makoto, and went through the same things with her. When they checked her target though, the heart, stomach and liver were all blown out of it.

Looking up at the rest of the group, Minako stepped up for her turn and when she fired on her own she removed the head from the target, (Not bad since she was aiming at the torso.)

Override put his arm around Ami for comfort while the others went through their turns, and finally it was her turn. "Ami." O'Neil stated and brought her into the booth. Override watched as O'Neil went over the procedures for the safety, safe carrying and firing. When it come to her turn, She fired her three Bullets and removed the crotch, left arm and Neck. The only two guy's (O'Neil and Override) both crossed their legs and let out a squeak when the crotch was shot.

Finally O'Neil called Usagi in and Ami returned to the group. Usagi entered the booth and paid as much attention as possible to O'Neil then she aimed the gun with extreme focus, and BKAM! A hole appeared in the side of the Booth and in a target four booths down. The next two shots O'Neil helped her learn to aim better and she managed to shoot foreword, missing the target completely. O'Neil ended up taking the gun away from Usagi and decided it was better not to give her a gun under any circumstances.

When he left the booth for the hallway where everyone waited he let an exasperated sigh out. "Robyn" He called and re-entered the booth. Robyn followed him and entered the booth. The first thing O'Neil asked her was "Let me guess, you have no idea how to use a gun do you?"

Robyn tried to suppress her laughter and, unable to speak, picked up the weapon from the table in front of O'Neil and proceeded to fire it with astonishing accuracy. All of the bullets found their way through the exact center of the target.

"Never Mind." He stated and watched her leave. "Override."

Override let his grip on Ami loosen and then stepped into the booth. "Ok, now Override, this here is a Baretta 9mm." O'Neil stated and then looked at Override "Do you know how to fire a gun?"

Override hid a snicker. Then he pulled, seemingly from nowhere, a bizarre looking chrome side arm. "This is a Series 12 Atlantean sub-atomic Descrambler in projectile mode." Aiming, he fired the weapon at his target. When the smoke cleared, the target had disappeared and a 3-foot deep hole was in the opposite wall. What?? he asked, looking at the Cnl, "Is it a bit much??

When the Cnl and Override left the booth, O'Neil was in shock, and the only logical thing that came to his mind was to avoid the subject and test their hand to hand. Silently he led them into another room. Once inside he passed each of the others a set of workout clothes and pointed the way to the Change rooms.

When they returned they discovered that he had simply stripped to his muscle-shirt, and pants and the others heard the expected "Kore wo miru as anata boyofriendomoto omoidasu" ("Boy he reminds me of my last boyfriend.") from Makoto.

O'Neill looked puzzled, and Override shook his head then looked at him and said, "You don't really want to know.

It took a lot of coaxing and pushing, but Usagi was the first person to step onto the mat, though not by her own choice. Once on the mat she realized she couldn't get out of the sparring match.

The two bowed to each other, as was customary, then O'Neil immediately was in a stance ready to strike. Usagi backed up trying to hold herself together. O'Neil never made an attack, he just backed Usagi up to the corner of the mats. Finally after immense anticipation, the Cnl threw a basic punch, which was caught by Usagi, who twisted him off balance and tossed his to the side. O'Neil kippuped back to his feet and looked at the cowering Usagi, He began to advance again, this time feigning a kick in front of her and to the side. Finally he feigned a punch to her side. As he expected Usagi grabbed his fist and at this point he snapped his leg out and under her knocking her legs out from under her.

Usagi hit the ground hard, and tears began to flow. O'Neil, feeling a bit guilty, reached down and grabbed her arm, and helped her to her feet. Then he led her off the mat, and motioned for the next victim to step forward.

Rei stepped onto the mat and gave a bow. O'Neil bowed back to her, then went into a stance that could signify attack or defense. Rei crouched down into a stance he had never seen before. Her entire weight was supported by her back foot as her front foot jutted out, her hand where placed in a balancing, blocking position.

Not taking any chances O'Neil decided to take the first attack, he lunged forward with a feint kick and a quick jab. Rei shifted her weight onto her front foot, grabbing his feinted kick with her left hand. O'Neil could feel victory near, until she also grabbed his punch and using the two key positions and his own speed against him, lifted him into the air and tossed him to the far side of the mat behind her.

Spinning around she stayed silent and focused as O'Neil got his footing again. The two of them circled each other looking for a weakness or drop in defense in the opponent. Finally O'Neil spun completely around and couched tossing one of his legs out to knock out her feet. Rei leaped up, handsprang off of his outstretched leg, and gave his a quick hard kick to the jaw. O'Neil rolled to the other side of the mat. "Ok, You win, You definitely know how to defend your self." Then he looked over at Override and Ami with an embarrassed look. Ami mentioned the match's end to Rei in Japanese.

"She's been doing Martial Arts since she could walk." Override explained as he looked at the Cnl

"Oh." O'Neil caught his breath again. "Is there anyone else like that?"

"Nope."

"Ok, next."

Minako stepped up to the mat and gave her bow. O'Neil didn't know what to expect from her and so waited this time for her to make the first attack. Which she did, she started the match with a flying kick. O'Neil side stepped this and gave a side kick to the landing Minako. As she landed she spun into a side block, deflecting the kick. She pushed aside three punches, and threw a couple of her own, none of them connected due to his defense.

The match wore on and neither of them had struck each other once, Minako had managed to stop all of his attacks before they connected, and he had done the same.

Finally O'Neil called "Ok, Stop." As he ducked a roundhouse. "You pass."

Override let Ami slide out of his arms as she stepped onto the mat. "Good Luck." He wished her as she entered the dojo. She gave her bow and then instantly was into a defensive stance, O'Neil advanced, and threw a punch, which Ami ducked and rolled aside of. O'Neil turned and looked at her. Quickly he launched himself into a flying kick. Ami thrust her own kick up from her crouched position and nailed O'Neil's foot, tossing him back the direction he came from, and causing her to roll backwards.

Standing, she was immediately in a defensive stance. O'Neil stood back up and was also in a defensive stance. Slowly the two circled each other until O'Neil leaped forward and thrust his foot at her face. Ami managed to grab the foot and throw the attack to the side. When neither of them could hit each other after several attempts O'Neil called the match a draw and asked for the next opponent.

Makoto stepped onto the mat. Quickly she bowed and immediately swept his feet out from under him. She backed off as he regained his footing. O'Neil took the most defensive stance he knew. Makoto stepped forward and snapped a kick at him. O'Neil caught the kick, but was not expecting Makoto to use her own momentum to carry her body and other foot into the side of his head. O'Neil flopped sideways onto the mat. O'Neil stood back up with a look of determination on his face. A grim smile was on his face as he waited for her to do something.

"Um, O'Neil," Override called out over the mat.

"What is it Override, I'm a bit busy right now!"

"She's 4rth Dan Black Belt!"

O'Neil froze, "WHAT!?!" A foot landed squarely in his face from nowhere.

Override called out "Teishi!" ("Match Over!")

There was applause coming from the other side of the mat, as a blonde woman and Te'uk had entered and witnessed the last match. "Beautiful. You realize you just lost to a sixteen year old girl?" The blonde mocked.

"Ok, Samantha, let's see if you can do any better,?he gave her a dirty look. "Ok, who's next?"

"Ooo Oooh, Pick me! Pick me!" Override thrust his hand up.

"Ok" Samantha marched into the change rooms and returned in a work-out outfit.

Override passed his shades to Ami and stepped onto the mat with Samantha and bowed. She immediately chose a defensive stance and looked at the strange stance Override had chosen. He stood straight up, feet only shoulder width apart, his side to her and his arms in a boxing like pose.

Giving O'Neil a strange look, she decided to test Override's defense by aiming a few punches at him, which he blocked with his forearms, sweeping each punch away effortlessly. Placing a kick into his side she saw him go down for a second, he rolled back up onto his feet and leaped forward.

Quickly she strengthened her torso defense, only to see Override drop right before her and roll into her legs. She toppled over as he regained his feet and spun around. From the ground she grabbed at Override's legs, as he danced out of her reach. Getting back up, she looked at Override with determination in her face. She was sure she would win this match.

Override had other plans, as he advanced in almost a fencing style, spinning around, he leaped into a flying round house, which she ducked, then grabbed his leg from beneath, and yanked him out of the air. Override rolled over to the side of the mat and she leaped towards him, Override reverse handsprung onto his feet and met her attack.

"Hey, Sam, I think your loosing to a Teenage Boy!" O'Neil called into the ring.

"Shut up." She called back.

"Give in?" Override asked.

"Nope." She gave him a spinning roundhouse in reply. Override grabbed her leg, and smacked her up side the head with his own kick, knocking her off the mat.

"How about now?"

Sam just scowled at him and reluctantly nodded.

Override helped Samantha to her feet, and said, ãRobyn, itâs your turn.?Robyn took her shades and passed them to Override as she took her place on the mat, and bowed silently to her opponent. After Samantha returned the bow, the two advanced towards each other, Samantha was determined that she was not going to screw this one up.

Robyn's stance was almost non-existent, as she kept moving around. Samantha had a hard time seeing what she was actually doing. Robyn danced over and feigned what might have been attacks but it was hard to tell, until Samantha fell over from lack of legs.

Samantha grabbed hold of Robyn's legs and pulled her over as well, Robyn landed on her hands and flipped back onto her feet to continue the dance. Sam cursed and stood up again. Robyn leaped at Sam and handsprung up off her shoulders, did a flip and landed on the back of Sam's knees, knocking her to the ground again.

"OK that's good for now. Hit the showers girls." O'Neil laughed into the dojo.

"Hit them with what?" Robyn asked with a huge grin and headed for the change rooms. As the girls changed back into their own clothes, Override approached O'Neill and asked, "Colonel, we've all been awake for at least 20 hours, and I think we could use some sleep." The girls returned to the room.

O'Neill looked at Teal'c, "Could you show them to their guest rooms, while I talk to the General about them accompanying us through the gate??

"Of course," Teal'c stated, and began to lead the guests to their quarters. Before they had all exited the room, Samantha asked O'Neil how he had fallen for the talking cat gag. And heard someone behind her say, "What gag beautiful??Looking down, she saw a small white cat, who then said, "Nice legs." and walked out the door behind Teal'c.
