Previously on Stargate…
The SGC launch their pre-emptive strike against the Lucian Alliance, unaware of the traps their enemy has laid, while mysterious ships enter Alliance territory.

TY7-8U5
The Stargate's energy barrier remained active as the MALP came through first. It was undamaged by the organic-vaporizing shield and scanned the area. It did not notice the energy barrier.
Almost immediately, the SG teams started to come through. Time slowed for a minute as an Ancient appeared and waved their hand over the energy barrier, which disappeared. The Ancient disappeared as time returned to normal, and the SG teams came through unharmed.
The PANDA tank came through, with Watson steering the barrel to get a good look around. There were no guards within miles of the gate, no gliders in the sky and no of light raining from the sky. It's as if they had arrived on the wrong planet.
By this time, all of the ground front force had arrived, and were cautiously looking around for the sign of the enemy.
"This has to be a joke. Somebody please tell me this is a joke…" Watson muttered as they gazed across the Alliance-free landscape.
"Where are they?" Mike Murphy asked as he checked the sky. Then the clouds parted to show several Al'kesh, gliders and troop transports heading down from orbit.
"We've got hostiles!" Mitchell yelled down the radio as the AA rockets fired up into the sky.
Puddle Jumpers came through the gate at the same time and soared straight for the oncoming enemy force.

In orbit, it was a different story.
The Enterprise spun round in orbit, firing phasers at a passing Ha'tak and destroying it. Several Deadalus class starships fired several blue beams of plasma at more of the Ha'taks, destroying them. Three Merlin class destroyers dodged round the enemy ships, taking pot-shots at the Sovereign class motherships and using their superior speed to avoid any weapons fire and gliders. The two Ori battlecruisers were engaging the Sovereign motherships in a fierce battle.
F-302s, Death Gliders, Al'kesh and Ori interceptors darted around, exchanging weapons fire.
Down on the surface, the SG teams were scattered about, exchanging fire with the Lucian Alliance soldiers. 302s and gliders danced in the sky, firing on each other.
One of the Sovereign motherships started to use their special weapon: a type of powerful energy weapon that can destroy Ha'taks in a heartbeat. The tendrils of orange energy flowed freely from the tip of the massive ship and began to zip across the hulls of the Earth ships. One of the Deadalus ships, the Antonov caught the full blast of the weapon; its port 302 bay was shredded by the sparking energy. It was sent drifting off into space as the battle continued.

Watson swivelled the barrel of the tank around to fire and take out a group of Lucian Alliance soldiers making their way to an SG team near the DHD.
Mitchell lead a small team across the grassy field littered with scorch marks, bullets, blood, craters and mud. They moved carefully along, firing now and then to nail down some enemy soldiers. The group was forced to take cover when some gliders passed low overhead.
Those gliders flew across the sky, firing at the tank. Their weapons fire struck the treads, causing it to flip over and sending Watson flying. Puddle Jumpers engaged the gliders seconds later as Watson picked himself from the ground, glaring around at the scene.

General O'Neill was seated in the Captain's chair on the bridge of the Enterprise. The bridge shook violently as the Sovereign class mothership dominated the view screen fired more volleys of orange plasma fire.
"Turn us around! Fire all rear torpedo tubes!" he yelled to Johnson at tactical behind him. Sparks flew from the wall consoles behind the tactical console, sending a person flying backwards as the ship veered hard to the right.
The great ship spun around until its rear end was facing the enemy ship. Several bright orange lights were fired from the flat rear of the vessel and struck the enemy mothership.
"Direct hit! Their weapons systems are offline!" Data reported from the ops console at the front left of the bridge.
"Fire phasers in a wide-spread pattern!" O'Neill ordered as the enemy ship started to move closer.
"They're coming onto a collision course!" Alexis reported from the helms console on Data's right.
"WHAT? Hard to port! Fire phaser pattern now!" O'Neill commanded as the mothership came ever closer.

Vala sat in her cell, gazing out into space. She was waiting for her rescue: brave and strong SG teams blasting down the door and escorting her back home. Sigh...
The door opened, temporarily raising her hopes for a rescue, before falling back down. In the doorway was a Lucian alliance soldier with his weapon pointed at Vala's head.
"Vala Mal Doran, I am here to escort you home." The Lucan Alliance soldier said stoically as he lowered his rifle.
"Who are you?" Vala asked as she cautiously neared the soldier.
"I am Torek of the Tok'ra. I have gathered some important information regarding the Lucian Alliance, and you must hear it. Come, the secondary Stargate is still hidden on this planet. We can use it to escape." Torek explained as they started to walk down the empty corridor.

TY7-8U5
Watson, Hailey and three marines were bunkered down behind the overturned tank, firing occasionally to get the enemy's attention from the group holding the gate.
"What now?" Hailey asked as several bullets whizzed above their cover.
"We wait until we have defeated them all." Watson replied as an explosion sounded nearby, showering the small group in mud and debris.
"Great idea... shame we're failing at that!" one of the marines added to the conversation in a sarcastic manner.
"It'll be a great help if the battle in orbit went in our favour..." another marine pondered.
"I bet that the battle up there's over and they're on their way as we speak." Watson said in a confident manner.

O'Neill stared at the view screen, a fire was blazing near the door to the conference room, and the enemy vessels converging on the view screen was not a pretty sight.
One of the Ori vessels was badly damaged, while the other was destroyed. The Tok'ra and Earth ships stood firm together, with the only fatality of the Earth fleet was of the Antonov, which suffered a core breach when an Al'kesh rammed into it in a last resort kamikaze attack. The Enterprise had managed to avoid becoming dust by slicing a sovereign mothership in half before it rammed straight into them.
The two sides faced each other, glaring to see which faction would back down first.
"Sir, I am reading multiple hyperspace signatures approaching from the bow." Data reported from the ops console.
"How many?" O'Neill asked as the view screen flickered slightly.
"I am reading at least fifty contacts. They will arrive in approximately two minutes." Data answered. All eyes looked at the view screen nervously.
Sure enough, a cluster of purple lights appeared behind the Lucian Alliance fleet.
"We are receiving a message, sir. It says: stand down. You are outnumbered. Prepare to be boarded." Johnson said from the tactical console
"This is not our day..." O'Neill mused as the fifty or so Ha'taks and Al'kesh moved to enter the main fleet. The recent arrivals went into an attack pattern and fired… at the Lucian Alliance fleet.
"Sir, the group of ships that have arrived, they're firing on the Alliance fleet!" Johnson happily reported.
The cluster of ships continued to fire on the Lucian Alliance vessels.
"We are receiving a hail, it's from the Jaffa!" Johnson cried in delight as O'Neill punched the air.
The Jaffa ships fired orange plasma bursts into the enemy fleet, crippling them severely. The Lucian Alliance weren't expecting enemy reinforcements from behind, and ended up losing the battle in orbit.
SGC: 1. Lucian Alliance: 0.

Gliders soared across the sky of TY7-8U5 towards the huddled groups of SG teams.
"Uh oh..." Reynolds muttered as his left arm was hanging in a makeshift sling.
"We lost, again." Sheppard sighed as the gliders came closer, and fired on the Lucian Alliance soldiers. The SG teams breathed a heavy sigh of relief at the sight of the allied Death Gliders.
"Looks like our luck has just been refilled!" Watson yelled down the radio as the troops cheered.
SGC: 2 Lucian Alliance: 0

Vala and Torek walked down one of the corridors of the Lucian Alliance base. The odd thing about it was the fact that there were no guards, or any sign of any other types of life present.
"Where is everybody?" she asked as they approached another door, which opened up for them to reveal another empty hallway.
"I do not know. I must tell you now, quickly: Commander Teraen does not lead the Lucian Alliance anymore. To use the perfect analogy, he quite literally sold his soul to the devil." Torek explained as they walked down the corridor to a hole in the wall, a rocky cavern on the other side.
"Then who does? And who is this devil?" Vala asked as they crawled through the network of caverns littered with spent flares.
"He caused many troubles for the entire galaxy several years ago. He is the one that had managed to revitalize the Lucian Alliance's forces after their lost leadership by the Tau'ri. He is the one who had information on Destiny, on brainwashing undercover spies from the SGC, on technology used on the Ancient vessel, as well as the resources to fertilize the crops of Kazza. He is-" but before Torek could finish his dramatically long explanation, they came into a cavernous space filled with masked troops and Teraen.
"You should've gone left." Teraen chuckled as Vala and Torek slowly stood up and glared at Teraen.

O'Neill stood on the bridge of the Enterprise, gazing out at the view screen as the remaining Lucian Alliance ships surrendered.
"Report from all three fronts, sir. The Lucian Alliance has been defeated and any remaining forces are surrendering." Data reported from the ops console.
"What did I miss?" Davis asked as he limped onto the bridge. He had been injured during the enemy's first salvo.
"Aw nothing much: we won, uh… we won… did I mention that we won?" O'Neill said in his usual humorous manner. Davis gave a small chuckle as a frown appeared on Data's brow. He was about to say something when Alexis leaned over to nudge him, and he understood.
"How is the arm?" O'Neill asked as if they were discussing the weather.
"Fine, sir. Should have good use of it in a few days." Davis replied.
"Sir, the lead Jaffa ship is hailing us." Johnson reported from tactical.
"Put them through." O'Neill said. Master Teal'c's image appeared on the view screen.
"General O'Neill, t is an honour to speak to you again." Teal'c said.
"Likewise T." O'Neill replied.
"I see that the SGC has put up yet another valiant fight for peace."
"You betcha. We're a tough lot, you should know that."
"Indeed I do, O'Neill. Do you require assistance?" Teal'c asked with a tilt of the head.
"Naw, unless… do you have any beer over there? I need a tall one."

Teraen chuckled as Vala and Torek were held at gunpoint in front of the masked troops.
"It appears that your luck has run out, my dear Vala." Teraen said as he motioned for them to fire. The masked men fired, killing Torek. He fell to the floor, his chest mashed by bullets and energy weapons.
"And now you, my dear. If you see Watson, tell him we have some unfinished business." Teraen said as he was about to signal the men to fire again.
But they didn't.
Instead, all but one clutched their heads in pain, including Teraen. Vala stared as the soldiers twitched on the cavern floor. The only masked soldier to survive removed their mask to reveal…
"Adria!" Vala cried as she ran forwards to hug her daughter.
"Hello, Mother." Adria replied, returning the embrace.
"How did you escape them when you rescued SG-1 all those months ago?" Vala asked as Adria led them through the tunnels to the planet's second Stargate.
"I will explain later, but I must send you home." Adria said as she dialled the Stargate to Earth.
"Aren't you coming with me?" Vala asked as the gate formed a stable connection back home.
"I must remain here. I cannot abandon the resistance here. Listen: the devil that Teraen sold his soul to was Anubis. The Ancient Omar stripped him of his powers, but Anubis hid some of his strength. He is very powerful, but he can die. Now GO!" Adria explained, yelling the last part out, as she pushed her mother through the event horizon of the gate.

TY7-8U5
The SG troops slowly made their way to the gate. They had won the battle.
"Well, I think we're not going to see any Lucian Alliance activity for, well, never again." Watson said as he led his small group back to the gate.
"That doesn't make any sense, but I agree. No more Alliance from now on." Hailey said as the group arrived at the gate.
"Col Watson! We tried everything we could, but we couldn't save him…" a medic said as Watson approached him.
"What's happened? Who couldn't you save?" he asked, scanning around for any signs of his friends. "It isn't… not McKay… is it?"
"No, it isn't Dr McKay." The medic replied.
"Then who…?" Watson found out who it was, as the sheet covering one of the bodies was removed to reveal Sel'ric's lifeless face.
"He died saving several injured men when their Puddle Jumper came down. He defended them until help arrived, but they were too late to save him." The medic explained sadly before walking away. Hailey put a comforting hand on Watson's shoulder as the three marines lowered their heads in respect.
McKay and Sina walked up to the small mourning group, laughing at a joke. They approached Watson, saw his face and their laughter died down. The two teammates stared at their colleague's body, before McKay paled and Sina started crying.

Teraen sat in his throne, looking out at the city sprawled beneath his fortress. Drinking from a golden goblet full of wine, he sat there, brooding. What will be my next move? It has to be the winning blow… aha! That is genius! If I remember correctly, those buffoons at the SGC encountered one of the five Guardians of Eden. If I had access to the Garden of Eden, I would be virtually unstoppable! Teraen thought as he let out an evil cackle.
"Guards!" he shouted, as two guards appeared. "Bring all Ancient artefacts to me, immediately! And visit this address," Teraen said as he pulled a sheet of paper and pencil out of his robes and wrote down a set of co-ordinates. "You should find an Ancient databank there. Let me know if you find it."
The guards took the piece of paper and walked out to follow their orders.
"Soon, the Tau'ri shall fall, and I shall rule the galaxy as its supreme God!" Teraen said in an overly-dramatic voice not unlike the boasting of a Goa'uld System Lord.

P9P-657
Several long, silver, sleek cruisers moved through the system, dragging an asteroid with them. They lined it up with the populated planet with the Stargate, and freed it from their grasp. The asteroid moved slowly towards the planet, its inhabitants blissfully unaware of their doom.

Next Time
Episode 2- Collision Course
SG-2 travel to a world on the brink of disaster, with an asteroid about to make the planet uninhabitable for centuries. With little hope of saving the day, they have no choice but to use a familiar weapon from their most dangerous enemy, at a cost. Meanwhile, Reynolds and Dr Lee are faced with a choice.
Also, I am accepting three OCs to star in the season's finale. They could be original characters, or old ones from the franchise, or offspring of some of the SGC personnel, but follow this condition.
They cannot be the offspring of David Watson.
The deadline is episode 13, so there's plenty of time. Any ideas for episodes are also welcome. Also, review if there's something on your mind about this chapter, or the series in general.
