*******************

Teal'c, Jack and Sam were running to the Stargate, trying to protect themselves against the deadly fire of the death gliders.

They had already neutralized most of the Jaffa and were desperately trying to get off the planet.

"Carter! The code!" Colonel Jack O'Neill over his shoulder as he fended off the Jaffa with a wave of gunfire.

Major Carter ran towards the DHD as the others provided cover fire and entered the code.

The rippling blue pool of the Stargate appeared.

Sam was fighting against a group of Jaffa when she noticed a lone Jaffa hidden by a tree. She saw him pointing his charged staff weapon at the oblivious Jack, who had his back turned, and was already occupied with other Jaffa forces.

"Colonel!" she screamed at him, trying to get over to him.

He turned back and looked at her, confused. She was trying to shoot, but her weapon seemed to be jammed. She swore softly in frustration and tried to free her handgun from her pack.

Suddenly she heard a moan and realised she was too late. She looked fearfully around only to see her CO falling down to the ground.

"Colonel!" she cried out again, running to his side, ignoring the storm of staff fire that raged around her. "Colonel!" she repeated, hoping, praying, and desperately needing a response.

Teal'c finished off the last contingent of Jaffa, and was running over to his fallen comrade.

He picked up the Colonel and hurriedly carried Jack through the Stargate

followed closely by a distressed and scared Major Samantha Carter.

Sam and Teal'c were waiting anxiously outside the infirmary.

Janet walked over to the pair.

"Doctor Frazier?" asked Teal'c, concerned for the Colonel and also the worried Major.

Janet looked at Sam and the fear lining her face. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it immediately and was forced to look away.

Sam gasped. She felt like she had been punched in the gut.

"No... It can't be," whispered the young Major, refusing to accept what Janet was trying to tell her.

"I am sorry. We've done all we could but..." she trailed off, leaving Sam and Teal'c to realize the inevitable.

Teal'c bowed his head in sorrow and some tears were already

streaming silently down Sam's cheeks.

"Colonel O'Neill is dead," finished Janet.

So what do you think ? If you want more, just tell me...thanks guys
