Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters or anything like
that.
Thanks in advance for glancing in the direction of my story. I'm hoping for reviews. I'll keep going, putting up new chapters as often as I can. I'll go faster if people tell me they like it. ^_^
An idea as to who the Furlings are and what happened to them. SG-1 get an up close and personal look at these ancient creatures.
Furlings
"Get down!" Colonel Jack O'Neill shouted as a Death Glider swooped down low to the ground and launched a blast in his team's direction. The four members hit the deck just in time to allow the glowing energy to pass by and impact with a hillock behind them sending dirt and debris into the air. Teal'c was the first one to return to his feet. As he did, he took aim with his staff weapon and launched two well aimed shots toward the fleeing Glider. The first shot missed but the second shot connected with the Glider's thursters and the Glider's trajectory arced and it now headed toward the ground.
When the whole team was on their feet the Glider crashed, sending flames high into the air. Momentarily, SG-1 stood congratulating themselves on their recent escape, but a voice from the hill crest behind them caused them to begin running toward the Stargate again.
"Jaffa! Kree!" A Jaffa soldier yelled as SG-1 began their retreat. When the team reached the forest edge, they found some rocks and decided they couldn't make it back to the gate without getting those Jaffa off their trail.
"Take cover!" O'Neill yelled and the team crouched behind the rocks. They trained their weapons on the Jaffa and waited for them to advance on them but instead, the Jaffa walked right past the rocks, as if they weren't looking for SG-1. Soon the Jaffa were out of sight and SG-1 took a second to collect themselves.
"Daniel, I always knew your allergies would get us into trouble one day!" O'Neill mockingly declared as he checked the clip on his P-90.
"Well, I'm sorry Jack. How did I know there was a Jaffa patrol on the other side of that wall?"
"I told you to be quiet!" O'Neill scolded more for his own relief then as to actually chastise his friend.
"I was!" Daniel rebuked.
"Until you sneezed!" O'Neill raised his voice too loudly on the last word which prompted Major Samantha Carter to become involved in the conversation.
"Hate to interrupt, but why didn't they follow us?" Carter said, without taking her eyes off the hill where the Jaffa had appeared. To break up these little scuffles was nothing new to her, she always found it entertaining when she was not off-world but this was neither the time nor the place for such humor. "I mean we did just catch a glimpse of there base."
"I don't know." O'Neill began. "Maybe they're heading toward the gate to prevent us from leaving. Check your gear, we'll probably need to fight them off when we get there." With that, the colonel rose from his crouched position and, with his head down, began to make his way through the trees. Carter and Daniel followed close behind with Teal'c taking up the rear.
After much deliberation, Col. O'Neill had decided they would come at the gate from the side and hopefully surprise any Jaffa who might be waiting for them. After a long and quiet walk, the team stood at the edge of the forest, staring across an open field toward the gate. The gate was about a hundred yards away over open ground. Luckily there appeared to have been much action here at one point because the ground was littered with burn marks and foxholes large enough for two people to hide in safely. To get to the gate was just a matter of getting from hole to hole.
Just as Col.' O'Neill put one foot onto the open ground, the sound of staff weapons broke the silence. SG-1 quickly took up defensive positions. They saw at least fifty Jaffa closing in on the clearing. There was no way the team could take down that many enemies so they had to act fast. Their choices were make a run for the gate using the foxholes or retreat and try to find a defendable position to wait for General Hammond to send help. Col. O'Neill wasted no time on his choice. He would not cower in a corner and wait for back-up.
"Go! Go! Go!" He shouted as he sprang from the cover of the trees followed closely by Carter and Daniel who was covered by Teal'c. He ran for the second closest foxhole and made it inside flawlessly. Carter joined him a moment later and only a second after she dove into the hole, staff weapon blasts impacted on the ground above them.
"Wait for my signal. Cover me!" With that the colonel leaped out of the hole and headed for the next. The Jaffa's fire seemed divided between two targets. Himself and Teal'c, he thought. When he reached the next hole he ducked inside. When he heard a break in the firing, he poked his head up to get a visual of the situation, then dropped it a second later as a staff blast approached. He had seen at least ten Jaffa standing around the gate, surprisingly those Jaffa were armed with Zats. Probably so they could bring the enemy back to their god alive. The forty other Jaffa were in strategic positions around the clearing. After a moment of thinking, he decided his team could make it.
Before heading for the next hole, the colonel checked out what supplies he had left. He found only one clip for his P-90 and one solitary grenade. It would have to do. He held the grenade firmly in his hand and tried to visualize the distance from his foxhole to the nearest gathering of Jaffa. With a deep breath, he pulled the pin and leaped from the hole. He sprinted to the next hole, throwing the grenade in the process. As he reached the edge of his next hiding spot, he caught sight of the Jaffa gathering being ripped apart by the force of the blast and Carter taking that opportunity to make her way to her next hole. A staff blast heading in the wrong direction, toward the Jaffa, told him Teal'c was still alive and strong. Just before he pulled his head down into the hole, a blue figure over near the Jaffa caught his eye but in the split second he had to see it, he couldn't tell what it was.
The staff blasts intensified as the colonel settled into the hole. He had more then half covered the open ground and could now make out the words of the Jaffa. None sounded very helpful so he ignored them. He decided he would go to the next hole, and there he would figure out how to dial the gate.
After hearing Carter lay down some suppression fire, O'Neill jumped from his covered area and ran through the ill aimed staff blasts toward his next sanctuary. As he began a dive into the hole to avoid some staff blasts he noticed something that surprised him. The foxhole he was jumping into was already occupied.
