Chapter two

I'd always wondered what it would feel like to walk through the event horizon of a Stargate. And to be honest I didn't even notice or care for that matter as I was marched through it by two giant Jaffa warriors. It was disorientating though to know you were in the middle of a forest then one strange step forward you were in the middle of some unknown stronghold. Familiar symbols and walls and everything stood out as the Jaffa took me through the labyrinthine corridors, never taking a wrong turn. Dread grew once I realized they were taking me straight to the Goa'uld lord. I tried once to escape but now the Jaffa next to me held an arm each with an immovable hand. Eventually we reached an unnecessarily over-the-top decorated throne room. The Jaffa threw me to the ground and backed away to the wall.

Ba'al stood for a moment before speaking.

'I assumed the Tok'ra were in too much disarray to meddle in a gods business.' He said almost jovially. 'You see, you've stolen something from me, something that I wanted very badly.' I looked him in the eye from my position on the floor and did not turn away. There was a silence in which I presumed he expected me to speak.

'Silence will only serve to increase my... Displeasure.' He continued while tried my hardest to kept quiet. He scowled. 'Jaffa, leave us!' He commanded and instantly the Jaffa present turned and left us alone. I had seen the type of torture he could inflict, namely the time when he had captured colonel O'niell and would kill him and raise him from the dead time and time again until he was rescued. He almost lost his mind and I knew that was what awaited me and unfortunately no one knew where I was.

'You test my already thin patience, tok'ra, why do you not speak?' He demanded, taking a step forward threateningly. I held my ground. 'I will torture you Tok'ra, until you speak. Then I will torture you for as long as you kept quiet.' He spoke low and menacingly, very unlike what I knew of him and I almost quailed from his presence. 'At first it will be pleasurable to inflict the pain you will endure, but eventually, your screams will become tiresome. Torturing you will become a chore, and I will unleash my anger upon you until I am satisfied I have all your secrets. And I am not easily satisfied.' He added with a frightening sneer. He spoke with the utmost confidence, as though a king in his castle impregnable. I realized with a horrible sinking feeling that he was.

'The Tok'ra is dead, we didn't blend and I don't remember anything but how to control the ship.' I blurted out. He smiled.

'See?' He said with the air of someone who had proven an impossible point. 'The more information you give the less pain you will experience. For this information I will give you... a reprieve. A few hours of rest, but from then you will know a new meaning of agony.' He stepped back and called the Jaffa back to escort me to my cell. I noted that it was the same as the one O'niell had occupied, perhaps not the actual same, but similar in design. The gravity in the cell turned lengthways and when it had stopped rotating, I was looking up from the bottom of a 15 foot hole. The two Jaffa standing guard were standing on the wall which was strange. I sunk against the wall and sat cradling myself thinking of how I could get out, and not thinking of what was coming.

It was hours later that the gravity began changing and I woke from a sleep filled with incredible pain. The Jaffa grabbed me and pulled me along to the torture room. They threw me against a grate covering a strange hole in the wall. Here the gravity was the same as my cell and I lay, looking up at Ba'al who was grinning. I always asked myself the question of how long I could withstand torture, I always thought it would be a long time.

'My first question for you, host of Sal'esh, is where is my Tel'tak?' I glared at him silently. Ba'al sighed slightly and then proceeded to pour some liquid straight into my chest. My world exploded in bright red and purple pain. I wouldn't have known even if I told him what he wanted. The burning was so incredible that I began to taste the pain in my throat and I could smell it as my lungs peeled away and hear it as a rushing through my ears. The pain overwhelmed my senses and I was lost in a dark world. Then it stopped and Ba'als face appeared in front of my face. He was angry.

'Why would you destroy that ship?' He asked disbelievingly.

'To stop you from getting it!' I gasped before I even thought about it. Then my mind caught up. Why had I said that?

'I do not believe you. Until next time.' He said and pressed a button. The grate parted and I fell into infinite darkness.

I woke next back in cell. My body felt refreshed as though I had had a full meal and a good rest. Perhaps the effects of the sarcophagus? I looked up and the Jaffa were still there. I sighed sadly and resigned my self to my fate.

Over the next couple of days Ba'al tortured me relentlessly. I don't think I told him anything as he didn't stop. My only memory was pain and falling and darkness. I stopped responding to anything shortly after he started and I never said anything or tried to move, letting my captors do as they please. It felt as though I had become detached from my body with the pain the only anchor to my physical self. I grew angry with SG-1 and the SGC. I had sent the GDO code, how could they not have extrapolated what happened and found me already. Perhaps they were willing to let me die. I didn't know why and I was almost contemplating telling him everything just to spite them.

I was against the grate again. Ba'al was growing even more angry and his methods were more severe and he had began mutilating my body like cutting off fingers and even an arm. Whenever I woke after those times they would grow back from the sarcophagus. I looked up at him and saw a figure standing behind him. It was a child with bright green hair sporting a strange expression as thought inspecting something.

'Who are you?' I asked the child. He disappeared without a trace.

'Your mind is becoming detached.' Ba'al said with finality. 'You will need extra time to recover.' He slammed the button and I fell again.

I awoke in the cell once again. The familiar realization that he hadn't ended it came rushing in and left me cold and depressed. The child was back this time. I barely reacted though.

'You've gotten off to a pretty bad start.' The child said. 'But I must say, I'm mildly impressed with your resilience.'

'Who are you?' I asked hoarsely, voice devoid of any effort or emotion.

'There are no words in your language to describe me fully.' The child said. 'To you I would be every religious God you could imagine, every demon and devil, I am the one who holds existence together, I am the one who holds the darkness away. Without my effort everything would be cast into nothingness from which there is no recovery. I am the keeper, I am the void, I am the void keeper.' The child finished. I was far too delirious to understand what he had said and meant.

'Can you help me?' I asked without hope, as a beggar would ask a rich politician for some food.

'I already have. Observe very closely over the next few minutes...' The child said. 'You won't get any more help from me, so use this chance wisely.' Then he was gone. I shook my head and the weariness and aching lessened. I focussed my eyes and saw the wall opposite. I slowly remembered where I was and what was happening. The guards were looking down at me, confused as to who I was speaking to. The Gravity again changed and I knew it was time for my torture. I began looking around carefully and taking everything in as per the strange child's request. Once the relative gravities were matched the Jaffa entered and grabbed an arm each and marched me out.

We entered the torture room as Ba'al was about to finish a communication with the Jaffa searchers on the planet. He stood before a holographic screen with the symbols from the DHD on a keyboard type console. Seven of them were lit. It dawned on me what the child meant now and I hastened to emblazon the symbols in my mind. Ba'al turned furiously to the guards.

'I had not yet sent for the Tok'ra!' His eyes flashed menacingly and I felt the guards tense.

'We received word to escort the prisoner here my lord!' The one on the left said with his head bowed.

'Return him immediately, or you will feel the wrath of your God!' Ba'al exclaimed. The guards left quickly dragging me along. This time I took notice of the way. A little way out of the room there was another corridor leading off and at the end I could see two Tel'taks docked. That was enough information for me. The guards sported confused looks as though not sure what they were supposed to be doing and I felt one lessen his grip and as he did I wrenched my arm from the other and grabbed at the Zat gun on his arm. Instead of grabbing I knocked the weapon from its holster. It clattered ahead of me and, dodging the grasping hands of the Jaffa, I ran along, scooped it up and fled. I stopped a short distance later after activating the Zat and turned to face my pursuers. I fired two shots and downed them both. With my heart hammering and anger at the memory of torture I fired another shot into both, knowing they would die from it. I grabbed the other Zat and ran down the corridor.

I met no one else until I reached the nearest cargo ship. There was a lone pilot sitting in the pilot chair, checking the ship. I shot him once with each Zat and opened the crystal housing. I identified the ones I needed instantly and grabbed them. Again I met no one until I reached the gate room. Just the one Jaffa which I killed. No one would survive my wrath this day. I found the DHD and the moment I began dialing an alarm sounded and Ba'als voice sounded throughout the complex.

'The prisoner has escaped! The ones to find him will be spared my anger!'

I ignored him and pressed each symbol carefully, not wanting to make a mistake. The gate spun quickly.

'All Jaffa, converge on the chappa'ai!' I heard another voice say. Well I wouldn't be getting away so easily after all. The first group to enter the room were met by a withering hail of fire. Two of the five were killed and another was incapacitated. I kept the stream of fire up and pinned them down. Another group approached from the right and I aimed one Zat there. Both groups were held back for a moment and I thanked whoever designed the weapons for there ability to fire for such a long time continuously. Then the thought came that one of them could simply throw a shock grenade into the room and I would be stopped, and as soon as that thought occurred a shiny metal ball came rolling in. Instinctively I ran forward and soccer kicked it back at the way it came just as the gate finished dialing and activated. I turned to shield my eyes from the flash just as it went off.

From behind it sounded as though someone had started screaming louder then I thought possible and it forced me to my knees. The flash wasn't no where near as bad but I had stopped firing which meant the other group not affected by the grenade entered the room. I stood to my feet almost completely deafened and fired at the group. Staff blasts went whizzing by as my fire disrupted their aim. I backed off to the Stargate and was about to step backwards through it when a new figure entered the room.

It was Ba'al.

I roared my rage and fear and sent a dozen shots at him but they hit his personnel shield. I turned and ran through the event horizon. I expected guards on the other side and the moment I stepped through, two, one on either side of the DHD halfheartedly pointed their staffs at the gate. Perhaps they didn't expect an enemy to step through which was lucky for me because even though I downed them they managed a couple of shots off. Everything passed in silence as I was still deafened from the shock grenade. I ran full pelt in the direction of the ship, crystals tucked into my pocket and looked back as I reached the tree line. Ba'al stepped through, flanked by a dozen guards. I poured as much Zat fire into them as I could while they were still coming through and hoped that it was enough to down most if not all of them. I knew Ba'al wouldn't be affected so I turned once again and ran.

The Al'kesh was no where to be seen, probably in orbit trying to scan for the ship, and that's when I realized it was still going to be a hassle to get off the planet. I lost all pursuers and managed to find the ship after ten minutes of blindly feeling the air. I had to find the way in which took another five minutes but once inside relief flooded my body. I made sure to shut and lock the door incase any Jaffa found the ship but I was sure they wouldn't.

Replacing the crystals was quick work and the cargo ship was ready for take off now which led to the next problem. Any cloud or significant air disturbance would be detected by the probable Al'kesh and whatever else was in space. I couldn't check what else was there because I didn't know whether the long range scans could be detected. I decided the best way out would be to just fly as far as I could at low altitude at a slow speed then leave the planet away from the Al'kesh. There was no movement or even a leaf's rustle as I carefully piloted the ship up out of the forests canopy. I didn't know the speed at which the air currants would give away my location so I went as slow as the Tel'tak would go. The forest gave way to rolling hills which slowly turned to an even denser jungle. A misty fog hung low of the jungle making the way forward all but impossible.

It was time to try my luck again and so I faced directly up and put as much power into engines as I could. The velvety blue sky so slowly turned black and I was in space. The passive scanners showed two Al'kesh and a Ha'tak closing in on near my position. It appeared that my plan worked. Suddenly Ba'als face appeared on the holographic window making me panic and think they had found the ship.

'Return the ship to me and you will be spared!' He snarled in anger. The Ha'tak and Al'kesh made no further course corrections and I figured they hadn't found me and Ba'al was just transmitting openly. I put the enemy behind me and boosted away. While zooming I thought of what to do next. I still held contempt for the SGC for not helping me so I felt no desire to deliver the ship to them anymore. What I wanted was revenge on Ba'al for the torture he inflicted and the thought of it darkened my thoughts. The sarcophagus had healed all the physical damage he inflicted but not the mental side of it. I held plenty of hatred for that Goa'uld now. Perhaps I could tell SG-1 were Ba'al is holding up but I doubted they would do anything about it quickly enough.

No answers came as the Tel'tak kept accelerating. The new crystals helped quite a bit and I was out of any weapons range quickly enough. Eventually I made up my mind to steal a ship from earth and destroy Ba'als base and everyone in it. I set course for earth and activated the hyperdrive. I made sure to drop out a long way from the planet and cloaked the ship. It took almost a day to reach earth. The passive sensors revealed two ships in orbit although I couldn't tell which one. At the back of my mind there was a voice filled with wonder at what I was doing: namely flying through space in a space ship, in the Stargate dimension at that. I wasn't sure how to get aboard until I turned and saw the ring platform in the other room. I assumed that the earth ships would still use them. I set the ship into a steady orbit within reach of the rings.

Inside the cargo hold there were a few crates I missed in my haste to reach earth. They were tucked tidily in the corner and I only saw them at the last second. Two held food and water supplies and the other held weapons. There were the shock grenades that almost incapacitated me when I escaped Ba'als compound along with a staff weapon, a kara'kesh, two zats and a light-weight armor I had never seen before. It held three pockets for the grenades and another for a Zat. I donned it and put the kara'kesh on my left hand. I didn't know how to use it yet but I was confident I could learn quickly enough. There was a large gem on the top of it which activated a thin shield. Excellent, I thought. I activated the rings to the nearest ship and with the familiar noise and flash was whisked away.

Being aboard the earth ship was an experience. I took in the surroundings and noted the room was empty and dimly lit. I hurried out of the room before someone was sent to investigate the ring use. I met no one and realized I was lost. The corridors all looked the same and it was only luck that led me to the engineering. A plaque on the wall outside the main engine room showed I was aboard the Odyssey. I wasn't sure what time period of the series I was in but with two ships in orbit it would be late season. Dodging the few patrols that I encountered was easy and I eventually made my way to the bridge. I could hear talking inside and they were querying the ring activation.

'...search parties, but they've found nothing untoward.' I heard.

'Activate the internal sensors and call all crew to their designated areas.' I heard the familiar voice of Samantha Carter. 'If anyone managed to sneak aboard we'll see it right here.'

I grabbed a grenade, turned it on and held it for a second before rolling it in. I heard a split second of commotion before the noise and flash silenced them all. I stepped in and saw about twenty people all slumped on their work stations or on their chairs. I set to work quickly, rounding everyone up into a group except for Sam who I tied up to one of the control chairs. I typed away at the keyboard and managed to shut and lock the doors leading to the bridge. There was a call through the radio for someone on the bridge and when they heard no answer they realized something was up. I waited for Sam to stir and had to shoot two other people as they began to wake. She noticed me.

'You won't get away with this.' She said.

'I will. I don't want to hurt anymore people.' I said genuinely. The contempt for SG-1 faded once I saw a member of the famous team, but the intense desire to end Ba'al still burned strong. She looked at the pile of people.

'Are they dead?' She asked. Then I noticed as she began to examine everything looking for a way to escape.

'No, just unconscious. Have the Asgard installed the upgrades to this ship yet?' I asked. For a split second her face registered shock but was covered straight away with a poker face.

'The who?' She asked confused. But I knew the answer.

'No matter, you answered that anyway. I want you to transport everyone off this ship onto the other one then you will use the transporter to beam my Tel'tak into the hold. I'll know if you've done so through this.' I said tapping the screen that showed hundreds of dots scattered throughout the outline of the ship. She didn't budge, so I shot a random person. 'I'll shoot him again if you don't comply. If you try anything silly I'll kill them all.' I said fiercely. She gave me look of utter hatred.

'You have to free my hands.' She said. I freed one and watched her type away. She beamed everyone away. 'You're ship is still cloaked.' She stated.

'This is were it is.' I gave her the exact coordinates. She pressed a few more buttons, probably more then I thought she'd need and saw the hanger filled with a ship.

'Excellent.' I said happily.

'You're not a goa'uld, and the Tok'ra wouldn't need to hijack a ship, so who are you?' She asked.

'I am neither, though I was host to a Tok'ra for a short time. Enough talk. I need you to show me how to use this ship.' I said.

'No.' She said simply. Then I noticed my mistake. She would sacrifice herself to stop me but not anyone else. I cursed myself. I weighed up my options and decided on a partial truth.

'Ok, I was captured by Ba'al and tortured in a way similar to General O'niell.' Her face became less fierce but still more confused.

'He told no one about that, so how would you know?' She asked.

'I know a great many things.' I said. 'I want my revenge and I know where his base is.' She was silent for a moment.

'Untie me and we can work this out. If you know where his base is that would work well in your favor.' She said. I laughed.

'My favor? I have you tied to the chair...' Then I remembered the other ship outside and how they could just as easily beam us out. 'Jump to hyperspace right now!' I demanded. I raised the kara'kesh for effect. She hesitated for a moment but typed a few more commands in. Through the front window I saw the hyperspace opening appear and we lunged at it. We travelled for a short moment.

'Why don't you let us deal with Ba'al and we can get you help on earth?' She suggested. I threw a quick glance at the screen showing the life signs aboard the ship. It still showed two. I stood up and paced, careful to watch Sam.

'No. I will have personal vengeance on Ba'al. After he is dealt with I will return you and the Odyssey back to earth.' I said. She seemed to relax a little but I was sure she didn't believe me. 'His torture was worse then you could imagine colonel. Only his death by my doing will help.' I stopped pacing and stood over her again. 'Now please show me how to operate this ship.' She relented slightly and showed me the basics. I made sure to remember them. I dropped us out of hyperspace.

'Where are you from?' Sam asked. I ignored her. 'Come on, you could be a possible ally. Where did you come from?'

'I came from a different dimension. Ba'al captured me as I landed, and I only just managed to escape.'

'Why did he capture you?' She probed. I frowned at the sudden line of questions. Then it hit me. I rounded the station showing the heat signatures and saw four of them, two groups of two. By the looks of it they had spread from the Tel'tak. I glared at Sam. She had beamed them straight to the cargo ship then beamed it onboard.

'Who are they?' I demanded. She looked innocent. 'Sg1.' I muttered and she looked taken aback. I tied her back to the chair so she couldn't type anything. Then I sat in the captains chair and pressed the internal PA.

'Sg1, I know what you're trying to do. I have Samantha Carter hostage.' As I spoke I saw the heat signatures pause. I knew they'd be listening and discussing what to do next. 'Head to the nearest brig or I will kill her.' I threw a glance at Sam and her expression hadn't changed. The small pulsing red dots eventually converged on a small room labeled 'brig 02'.

'I need you to show me where this location would be, using the symbols from the stargate.' I said. She talked me through the process of bringing up the gate symbols and I showed her the address I managed to remember from when I was first captured. It was surprising how easy it was to remember the symbols once I was here. It was a couple of hundred light years away from where we dropped out and would only take an hour to get there. I set a course and activated the hyperdrive.

'The first thing that needs to be done is taking out the Stargate so he can't escape.' I told Sam. She didn't say anything but kept observing. I typed away looking at all the information I could. I set the Asgard beam weapons to fire at the Stargate as soon as we came out of hyperspace and continued going through the different systems. I checked the heat signature console constantly and they had stayed in the brig which surprised me, I assumed they would try something regardless of what I said. They had huddled together in the brig for whatever reason. The ship dropped out of hyperspace and I pressed the button to fire the weapons. Blue beams speared towards the planet and an almost imperceptible explosion showed the gate was destroyed, or at least buried under a lot of rubble. A series of beeps sounded and I had to check the next screen over. The Ha'tak and Al'kesh standing guard were approaching. I went to switch targets and destroy the ship when everything went dead. The lights went out and it took a moment for the emergency lighting to kick in.

'What's happened?' I shouted at Sam as I rushed to the different consoles trying to do something.

'I wouldn't know, I've been tied up here.' She said.

'Don't play games colonel.' I warned. The thermal monitoring system had gone down as well. It was SG-1, they had to of done something. The ship shook as the first volleys of the defenders hit. 'Damn it, tell them to give me back the ship or we'll all die!'

'I can't, the power's out.' She said. I gritted my teeth and untied one of her hands.

'Get up, we're checking it out.' She untied the rest of the cables, stood and walked out. I followed at a safe distance through the darkened corridors, keeping a careful watch on her every move. The ship shuddered under some more impacts but I knew the shield would hold for a lot longer then I needed. We rounded a corner and there stood the rest of sg1, guns raised. The sight was amazing. I quickly aimed the kara'kesh and the Zat at Sam.

'Why, hello there.' Colonel Mitchell said in the way I knew he would. 'Would it be too much to ask that you let our friend go, give us back the ship and you surrender?' I ignored him.

'We're currently in orbit around Ba'als home world, under attack by three ships with their Stargate destroyed. Give ME back the ship and I'll finish him and then you can have the ship back.' Mitchell stared at me.

'I say we shoot him and get this over and done with.' Vala said in her trademark I'm bored way.

'Samantha.' Mitchell said, ignoring Vala. The way he said every syllable was so utterly familiar. 'Is that true?'

'Yeah, I think we can trust him for this.' She said. I knew that tone she used, it was the 'pretend to be friendly until we betray him' she had used a few times. Mitchell sighed and looked at Teal'c.

'Give her the crystals big guy. Teal'c and Sam will go replace them, and we'll head off to the bridge.' He said. I nodded and let them go first. They entered and sat at a console each.

'Ahh, no.' I said. 'Over by that wall. Drop the guns and kick them over this way. Nothing funny.' I said. They gave each other glances before lowering their weapons. I sat down aiming at them. The ship shuddered lightly as more and more shots were hitting the shield.

'Hello, um?' Daniel Jackson took a half step forward. I looked up at him.

'Dale.' I offered.

'Yes Dale, I'd like to know where you're from and why you're doing this.' He said in a very formal way. I knew he'd try to talk to me.

'I'm from another dimension and when I got here, Ba'al captured me and tortured me for days. I want revenge.'

'So that'll explain the ol' cargo ship in the hanger bay.' Mitchell said.

'If you own a Tel'tak then the different dimensions must be similar? Why don't you tell me what differences there are. We've encountered several variations our selves and we could help you if you needed.' Daniel was stalling for time for something but I wasn't sure until Mitchell began edging to my right. I pointed the Zat at him.

'Don't try it.' He stared at me and stopped moving. Just then the ships power kicked back in.

'Excellent.' I muttered. Keeping one eye on sg1 and the other on the commands I was typing, I set the odyssey to destroy the ships and bombard the planets surface. Once the commands were in place blue beams shot forgot once again and pierced through the Ha'taks shields. Then I shot each member of SG-1 once and checked the thermal monitoring system. Just as I expected the two had split up and were ready to take the bridge by force. I quickly tied the three up and raced to ambush the others before they could do the same to me.

The first one I met was Teal'c. He was quickly subdued with a flash grenade and a shot from the Zat. I tied him up before I returned back to the bridge. There Sam was just about to untie Mitchell.

'Stop.' I said. I didn't think she would have gotten here so fast. 'I don't want you up and about taking me prisoner to rot in a jail cell back on earth. I know how the IOA works. You'll be free once we get back to earth but not before.' She backed away from Mitchell.

'You haven't gotten rid of us so far so I suppose you can be trusted for the moment.' She sat back against the bulkhead. I ran a sensor sweep across the planet and there were no life signs. Satisfied that I had my revenge I finally smiled. Then I remembered Teal'c laying tied up.

'Sorry Sam.' I Zatted her and looked for Teal'c. He was just stirring.

'Hello Teal'c.' I said. His head jolted to face me. 'I don't plan to hurt anyone. I have the others on the bridge, they are unharmed.' He was silent in a way only Teal'c could be. 'Lets go.' I pointed the Zat at him and he slowly moved towards the bridge. At this moment I reveled in the fact I had captured SG-1. They all sat, or lay, at the furthest end of the bridge while I type away. The Odyssey had turned the complex and surrounding mountain range into molten slag. I stopped the firing and turned the ship away from the planet.

'Are you going to hold up your promise?' Daniel asked, now awake.

'Yes, I need you all to head to one of the brigs. All power will be cut to that section so you won't be able to escape. Go, lead the way.' I said. I followed them all the way and locked them in. I walked back to the bridge and sat in the command chair once again. I finally stopped and took stock of the situation.

I had a cargo ship that could jump to different dimensions, and if the Stargate dimension was real then that meant any of them could be. I thought of all the possibilities: I could travel to any world I've ever heard of! I could see all the things I've wanted to see in person and meet anyone! The sudden rush of imagination almost overwhelmed me. I still had to find a way to control the device and make it go where I wanted. Then I thought of the dangers that posed. Some universes were quite dangerous for a small ship such as a Tel'tak. But, I just realized, I'm currently in command of the Odyssey! The strongest ship in the galaxy!

You promised them you'd return it, a small and weak voice said.

They also didn't find you while you were being tortured, a stronger, much more assertive voice said. You could take this ship and punish those who would do evil. Now that was a thought. The voices warred in my head as I tried to decide what to do. Then I made my decision. Daniel was the only one I could talk to and not explode. So I called him the the bridge. I threatened to vent the atmosphere if they tried to do anything and sure enough, Daniel was soon before me.

'I hoped I would be able to talk to-' I raised my hand to cut him off.

'Daniel Jackson. What's the last major mission sg1 has done?' I asked. He frowned.

'I can't tell you that.' I said.

'Yes you can. Either you tell me or I'll tell you. I need to know, you don't even have to go into details, just a brief overview. Pretend I know everything about the SGC.' I said clearly. He looked at me strangely.

'SG-1 has just finished a mission that took place in another galaxy. We were tasked with finding the ark of tru-' Ah-ha, I thought. Now I knew where they were up to.

'The ark of truth, where you found the Ori's home planet and you managed to personally convince Morgan le fay to enter into unending battle with Adria?' I said. He face said it all.

'I will speak Daniel, and I want you to listen. I am from another dimension, a dimension where the stories of SG-1 and the SGC are a fictional TV show. I've watched every episode and movie a few times so I could name a few things only you, or a few people have experienced. A Tel'tak crashed in my dimension right in front of me...' I explained the events leading up to here. He was speechless for a few moments.

'What do you plan now?' He asked.

'I will take the odyssey and use it to fight evil in every dimension I can get to. I want you as an ally so do not attempt to stop me.' The ship dropped out of hyper space. A small planet came into view.

'You can't just take this ship!' Daniel shouted.

'I can and will. Just know that earth will for ever be protected by me.' He realized what was about to happen and lunged forward but light enshrouded him and a hum rang across the bridge. He disappeared, as did the other four heat signatures in the brig. The planet showed five life signs and I hang around until they had disappeared through the Stargate, then I plotted a random jump.

The possibilities seemed to open up ahead of me. I smiled again. Ba'al was gone, even though there would be clones alive still, and I had a ship capable of defending me and my Tel'tak.

XXXXXXXXXX

Any reviews would be good!
