Okay, here's how Sam becomes the Dark One. This will be it, but I might always come back and tweak this up. Sorry for the shortness, but this was kinda hard to write. I think after I get done with Dragon Rising I'll be looking back at the series in a few months and do some revising and what not. Thanks to all those who've stuck with me. You people who've reviewed in each story are my heroes.

I own nothing recognizable.


Samantha Carter glared at the invisible barrier that kept her in the cave. She reached out and touched it, blue light erupting around her hand. With a glare, she pulled it back and began pacing around the cavern.

"What are your orders Mistress?" a Myrddraal asked.

"Are the Forsaken being awakened?" she asked.

"Ever since your imprisonment five years ago," the Shadowspawn replied.

"I want someone in here to start translating this wall. It holds the key to my freedom," Sam said. The Myrddraal bowed and vanished.

"You are confined by your own weaknesses Samantha," a voice scoffed.

"Who's there?" she demanded.

"The true Dark One."

"Anubis," Sam growled. A ghostly image of Anubis appeared in front of her. "What do you want?"

"To help you escape this prison. When you killed me, my powers went into you, but not the whole me."

"Get to the point you damn ghost," she snarled.

"We need to become one in order for you to achieve your full potential."

Sam laughed, her voice harsh. "Join with you? You took everything away from me. You're the whole reason I'm stuck in this god-forsaken place. Why should I join with you?" she demanded.

"You crave power my dear. I can give you that power. You must trust me."

"I will never trust you," she snapped.

Anubis chuckled. "That is precisely why we must join."

"Because I don't trust you?" Sam asked.

He nodded. "Conflict breeds power my dear. I have spent centuries attaining powers that rival that of the Ancients. As for you, you have the power of the Dragons behind you that opposed me for generations. Thinks about it. If we were to join and become one, nothing on this planet would be able to stop us."

"How do I know this isn't just a trick for you to gain my body and my powers?"

"If we become one, we become one completely. You will have all my knowledge, all my power, everything I am. And the reverse is true." Sam still looked at him skeptically. He chuckled quietly. "I alone can help you escape this prison in which Daniel Jackson imprisoned you. For you see, I have some understanding of the text on the wall. Join me, and the knowledge is yours. If not, you will remain here for all time."

Sam glared at him, her mind processing what she had just been told. "Very well. What must I do?"

"Remain there. The task of joining is mine." Anubis turned into a black gas and surrounded Sam. The black gas slowly infiltrated her nose and mouth and went completely into her.

Sam's brow furrowed and her eyes began moving rapidly beneath her eyelids. After several moments, she opened her eyes and smiled. "The end of days has come at last. Let the world tremble beneath me." She began laughing, the light catching her pale blonde hair and sickly gray skin.


Sorry again for the shortness, but I wanted to get this up and it was hard to write and this was all that came to mind. Please don't kill me...
