Author's Notes/Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Orko as in He-man ect. I also don't own anything to do with the stargate or Apophis. As I have stated in my profile I am putting 'OOO' in between scenes now, sorry for previous confusion that this may have caused. By the way I want to thank Dr101 for reviewing the story before this called 'The Ancients', even though it is not this story it is related so THANKYOU Dr101! Hope you enjoy the rest of The Ancients! Also I would like to thank whippedcream for reviewing as well on Two Sides! By the way sorry on the lack of updates but I have been having major writers block, my friend is leaving FOREVER cause she is going back to Korea and another friend, who is about 85 – 87, could die at any moment and time so sorry if the updates begin to slow down Also I have based this story on the new series of He-man so that means that Cringer does not talk.
Capture and Stealth
Teela, Man-at-arms and Orko ran towards the palace, still making sure that no guards saw them along the way. When they got to the palace gates they stopped just outside to catch their breath.
"I wonder how He-man's doing." Teela thought aloud.
"He'll be fine, don't worry," Man-at-arms reassured her, "but right now we need to figure out how to get inside without being caught."
"Right, but I don't see how we're meant to get in. There're no secret passages and we don't know anything about these people, who or whatever they are."
"Hmm," Man-art-arms thought for a moment, "Orko, you seem to be remembering things that you should have forgotten so do you know anything about these people?" Orko thought for a moment.
"Only that they are called the Goa'uld but I heard that from someone I didn't remember it." Orko said, still trying to think of anything else.
"Well that's not going to help us get inside." Teela stated.
"I'm sorry but I can't think of anything else." Orko said shrugging his shoulders, "Would it help if I flew up and had a quick look round?"
"Possibly," said Man-at-arms, "but they would spot you a mile of with that bright red robe of yours, and we already know that they've guarded the entrance."
The three sat in silence, all of them trying to think of a way in.
OOO
Cringer and Adam were running at this point. They were trying to catch up with their friends. Adam, while running, was trying to think up an excuse for Teela. She doesn't know that he is He-man so she would probably be eager to know why Adam had joined them and not He-man. Only the Sorceress, Man-at-arms and Orko know that Adam was He-man and Cringer was Battle Cat, despite the fact that at any sign of trouble Adam would run off with Cringer and then He-man and Battle Cat would show, no-one else knew or realized for some odd reason. Adam was still thinking of an excuse for Teela when Cringer stopped al of the sudden.
"Come on Cringer," Adam urged, "we don't want to get caught by those aliens now do we?"
Before anything else could happen Cringer darted behind a near wall, Adam followed wondering what was going on.
"Cringer! What are you doing! We've got to get going and find the others!" Adam hissed in a very loud whisper. Then, he heard what Cringer must have heard. Metal footsteps were coming their way!
"I guess that's what you must have heard, hey Cringe?" Adam only got a tremble and a slight moan of fear from his companion next to him.
"Don't worry; we'll be fine as long as we keep quiet."
Adam peered around the wall slightly. He could hear the footsteps getting louder and louder but whoever was making them wasn't yet in Adam's eye line.
"By the sound of them, it sounds like there's gonna' be a lot of them." His faced looked worried. Just then the group of alien guards came into view. There were about twelve or so. "I don't think I can take them all on, not while I'm just Prince Adam. We need He-man right now but…" his voice trailed off as he realizes that one of the aliens was coming toward them, well in their general direction at least.
"Come on Cringer." Adam, with Cringer, moved along the wall going as far away from the guard as they could while being reasonably hidden at the same time. The metal footsteps began to move again. They came around the corner and walked straight by Adam and Cringer, who were still hiding behind the small bush that they had found by the wall that they were against.
As the alien guards walked on Adam raised his head a little, and then a little more until his chest upwards was above the top of the bush. Cringer was still trembling beside him, but that was expected from Cringer.
"It's alright Cringer," Adam comforted, "they're gone." Cringer didn't stop trembling and was looking around eagerly for something. "What is it Cringer? What are you looking for?" Cringer looked at Adam and yelped. "What is it Cr…" Adam turned around and saw what Cringer was so terrified about. It was one of the aliens!
The alien grabbed a small gun-like item that hung from where a sword would have been if there was a hilt to hold it in. He held it up and pointed it at Adam, it looked like it was folded up, either that or someone had been really anger and needed a squeeze toy to relieve there stress. The small 'gun/laser' weapon then seemed to activate because it then unfolded itself in the aliens hand. The alien didn't seem to move to trigger the weapon but even so a blue ball of light that looked a bit like it was a ball of live electricity shot out and hit Adam. Adam keeled over and blacked out. Cringer turned to run but was then hit by the same blue light. Everything went black as unconsciousness took over him.

"What about if we tried to attack the guards at the entrance and force our way in?" Teela suggested.
"No," Man-at-arms replied, "there are only three of us at the moment. It He-man and Battle Cat show up then there will be five, but even then we would still have a hard time getting in. We would be tired by the time we got through the first party of guards. They seem to put them in groups of ten to twenty. It would almost be impossible to get in all the way, without being caught, if we tried that idea."
"Yes but I don't see that we have any other choice…unless you have a better suggestion?"
"I don't that's the problem. Orko have you hat and idea?"
"No sorry."
"Wait a minute," Teela said suddenly, "what about if we snuck into the palace."
"Possibly but we would need a distraction to draw the guards away from the entrance."
"Well what about me?" Orko piped up, "I am able to teleport so all I have to do is draw them away and then teleport to you. They won't know where I have gone and therefore will keep searching giving us, you, enough time to get in."
"Yes I think we could make this work." Teela pondered on the thought for a second. She was about to speak when another patrol went by where they were hiding, they all fell silent, the patrol pasted without noticing the three, Teela spoke again, "The problem would be the you, Orko, would be facing the risk of capture. So I guess it's you choice we either sneak in with you as the distraction or we just get in by force." All fell silent waiting for Orko's answer, "It's your risk to take."
After a brief moment Orko spoke with a very confident voice, "We sneak in."
"Ok then, here's the plan."
