Prologue: Back through the Gate
Allie was kneeling next to the grave markers. She reached out and touched them gently.
"Daniel…Teal'c, Hammond…" She stood up and walked over to another row of graves.
"Jack, and Sam…" She shut her eyes and reached into the bag that was next to her. She raised the camera and snapped individual pictures of each marker. She placed the camera in her bag as a loud whistle toned out from the fortress
Allie stood up and ran down the hill to the slave encampment. She rushed to her tent and tossed the bag into it and hurried onto the gathering area.
Allie best and only friend, Cassandra Frasier stood next to her. They smiled briefly at each other and turned their attention back to the HFP, Human First Prime. He stood tall and proud in his leather uniform.
"Today," he called over the gathered slaves. "we will separate you into the areas you will be in for the rest of your useful life. When I call your names, come forward and tell me where you wish to be relocated to."
Silence fell over the young slaves.
He began to call names.
"Cassandra Frasier."
Cassie walked forward and bowed her head in front of the HFP. She whispered to him softly and he nodded and pointed to an area where a few other women were standing. Cassie walked by Allie without looking at her.
"Allie Jackson."
Allie walked forward and stood in front of the man. She didn't bow her head or give any sign of submission.
"I want to become the HFP." She said softly, "I want your job."
The HFP's face clouded in anger. He drew back his hand to strike the 21 year old woman. Allie ducked, her muscles rippling. Teal'c had trained her in martial arts while he was still alive, so she knew what she was doing.
She dropped her right shoulder as his hand flew over it. She spun and drove her pointer and middle fingers into his windpipe, crushing it. He stumbled backwards in shock.
How dare this little girl do this to him!
"It is within my right as battle class slave to challenge your position!! I challenge it!"
"Allie, no!" Cassie called desperately.
"Shut up Cassie!" Allie snarled. This man had killed Hammond and Teal'c, she wanted him dead.
"STOP!" The voice came down from the mountain. Everyone froze. A man walked from the passageway that had once led to SGC. It was now his command central.
"Lucifer…" Allie muttered. The other slaves immediately went into submissive postures, but Allie just stood over the HFP.
"You are strong, and you were trained by that Jaffa, yes?"
Allie nodded, her eyes never leaving Lucifer's face. No one really knew what the creature looked like. His body was cloaked in shadows and fire.
"You may challenge him in the challenge ring, tomorrow night. Come into the mountain and we will prepare you for the ceremony."
Allie nodded and walked into the former SGC. Lucifer turned and looked at the women assembled with Cassie. A fiery smile lit his face. He turned to his true First Prime and jerked his head.
The big silent man walked to the women and began to herd them into the mountain complex.
The places were picked.
Allie walked though the complex. She wandered aimlessly while waiting to be paged to Lucifer's chambers. She opened a door and walked in.
She looked around. It was an old lab. It was never used, by the look of the equipment. It was dusty and forlorn. She walked from corner to corner, drawing her hand through the dust.
She saw a picture frame lying on the counter. She picked it up and brushed off the years of dust.
"SG-1" she whispered. She touched each face slowly. She sat down and just stared at the picture. Why did they have to die?
She slipped it into her bag, which she had been able to get when they told her that it would be awhile before Lucifer would see her. She closed the bag, which had once been Daniel's, and stood up
She closed the lab door and continued down the hallway. She picked a random door and opened it.
It was just as dusty as the last, and had computer parts and books and journals strewn around it.
"Daniel…" she walked in and began searching through his stuff. She knew where it would be, at least, she hoped she knew. She opened a file drawer and pulled out all the files. She reached into the very back and grasped what she was looking for.
The thing to transmit the Iris code. She turned it on and made sure it was still operational. She bagged it and heard footsteps coming down the metal halls. She set her bag down under his desk darted out of Daniel's study and shut the door.
"Jackson, you are to come with us," it was two of Lucifer's guards. She nodded and followed them down the hall.
They entered what had once been the debriefing room. Lucifer sat at the head of the table.
"Sit." She sat opposite of him. He laced his fingers together and stared at her.
"So, you wish to be my Human First Prime?"
"Yes." She stated simply.
"Why?"
"Because I am stronger than he will ever be, and I know the slaves better than him, I know how to hurt them more effectively."
He nodded. "Prepare to fight him." She stood and left. She walked to the old locker room and took a shower.
She stepped out of the steaming shower and found leather clothing sitting on the dusty bench. She held it up and grinned. A leather top with silver armor covering it, and a leather mini skirt. A pair of tall boots and a silver head piece finished the outfit.
"Allie? Are you in there?"
"Cassie?"
Allie turned as she finished slipping into the skirt. Cassie stood in the doorway, wearing a sheer red dress and hardly anything underneath it.
Allie stared frozen in shock. "You asked to become a breeder?" she choked out.
"Allie, they don't get killed, I'll live on!"
"You want to have sex with that creature?" Allie was still in shock. Her best friend was a breeder.
"Why do you want to be HFP? You've never approved of the way the HFP treats the slaves!"
"I have my reasons, but I don't know if Lucifer has tagged you! So I won't tell!"
"Allie, please! Become a breeder and we can live together."
"I refuse, I'd rather finish my days as miner than as a breeder!"
"Allie, don't say that!"
Allie sat down and pulled the boots on. She pulled her long blond hair behind her ears and placed the silver head piece on. She stood and stared at Cassie.
"I'm going to change it all, everything that happened."
She walked to the door and paused, standing next to Cassie. "I love you, girl. And I'm sorry."
Allie walked from the locker room, leaving Cassie standing there crying, and didn't look back.
Allie walked into the former Gate room. The Gate had been cleared out and moved into a clearing, along with the DHD found with the Beta Gate. She stepped into the battle ring and picked up the staff weapon that was waiting for her.
"Alexandria Grace Jackson, are you prepared to fight for the position of HFP?"
"I am!" she called to the observation deck.
"Begin."
The HFP lunged at her. They fought with the staff weapons, but neither made a move to fire.
"No staff weapons, hand to hand!" the HFP snarled. Allie threw her staff weapon aside, knowing what the HFP was about to do. He mocked throwing his weapon aside, then brought it back around, leveled at Allie.
She pushed off the ground and flew at the HFP's throat. She kicked as she came closer. The heel of the boot connected with his throat. His head flung back and a sickening crack filled the ring.
The HFP collapsed. He was dead.
"The victor is Alexandria Grace Jackson. Breeders, greet you're new First Prime."
The breeders dropped their heads into a bow. Allie stared at them, easily picking Cassie out of the group.
Lucifer walked down. "Kneel." Allie dropped to her knees. Lucifer drew her hair aside and bared her neck. He placed his palm against the base of her neck and a pulse of energy radiated around the room.
She felt a burning on her neck and knew that Lucifer's mark, a snake eating its tail surrounded by fire was ingrained on her skin. Anger prickled over her. Lucifer took a step back and handed her a staff weapon. It was different than any other one that she had ever seen.
It could be fired from both ends and had a cradle for her arm.
"Choose your quarters," Lucifer said. "Breeders, one of you tend to the First Prime."
"I will," Cassie said. She walked forward and followed Allie back to Daniel's study.
"Daniel's room?" Cassie asked, looking at Allie curiously. Allie ignored her and pulled her bag out from under the desk. She opened it and pulled out a Zat.
"Cass, I'm really sorry about this."
She raised the Zat and fired. Cassie collapsed. Allie attached the Zat to her belt and took off running from the room.
She ran, her muscles straining to keep up the pace. She reached the elevator that led to the surface and jumped in.
She knocked out the guard that was getting ready to step out and dragged him against the back wall of the lift. The lift finally reached the surface and she bolted from it into the sunlight.
The Stargate was a good mile away from the complex, and she knew that Lucifer would find out about her mutiny and send the True First Prime after her.
She saw an old Jeep being driven by a miner slave and she stopped him.
"Get out," she said.
He raised his hands and climbed from the Jeep. She climbed in and floored it. The Jeep fishtailed as the tires fought for grip in the gravel.
An alarm sounded from the complex.
"Shit!" she snarled. It was earlier than she had expected. She drove until she reached the turn off to the pasture with the Gate in it. She slammed on the brakes and leapt from the Jeep.
She ran, staff weapon in one hand, Iris transmitter in the other. She could hear the shouts of Lucifer and his men getting closer behind her.
She reached the gate and punched in Earth's address. "I really hope this works!" She looked at the tattoo on her left forearm and typed the code into the transmitter.
"Stop!! You are not permitted for Gate travel!" Lucifer yelled.
Allie turned right before she went through. She raised her hand and gave Lucifer a one fingered salute.
"UP YOURS LUCIFER!!" she screamed at him, and leapt through the Stargate.
