Chapter 3-
"Fight it Carter!" O'Neill said loudly after quickly working his way through the shock of what had just happened and seeing his second in command's eyes glow as she was taken by the Goa'uld. "Come on!"
The smirk that only a person possessed by a Goa'uld could make appeared on Carter's face. It looked like it defiantly didn't belong there, not compared to her usual smile. "Your words mean nothing Tau'ri, Samantha Carter no longer has control of this body." She said, her words deeper and echoing like all Goa'uld's voices.
Daniel was finally able to put his words together picking up on something the Goa'uld said. "But she isn't gone! She is still in there and she will fight you! As you said, you have control of her body, but not her mind!" He pointed out.
"The mind is something I like to keep intact in my hosts, it allows for me to find any and all information I desire. And Samantha Carter's mind is full of information, and none of it will be hidden from me for long." Athena said walking over to the two men her robe flowing along the ground behind her.
O'Neill hated seeing this happen and being helpless to stop it. SG-1 was his team, and the members of the team were his responsibility and his friends. Now both he and Daniel were chained together in a Goa'uld chamber, Teal'c was who knows where though he hoped back at the SGC putting together a rescue party, and Carter… well Carter was a prisoner in her own body. "Ya wanna bet you body snatching snake skinned bitch?" He growled thrusting his upper body forward threateningly, only to be grabbed by the Jaffa behind him. Calming down slightly he glared up into the eyes of his friend, the once bright, playful and intelligent steel blue eyes were now cold and foreign to him. "Carter has more strength and will power than any other person I know, you won't get anywhere in her head!" He said defiantly.
"You act as if you know her better than you actually do Tau'ri." Athena said with amusement as she looked down at O'Neill and Daniel. "Samantha Carter is a scientist and a warrior and I am the goddess of wisdom and war. Her curiosity will betray her and with her growing interest in my mind, my technology and my plans she will let her walls crumble and her mind will be left defenseless against me."
"You don't seem to realize what has happened have you?" Daniel said looking at Athena with slight amusement. "In the past few years the System Lords have become basically powerless. Any plans you have to take over and start your new empire are pointless; my guess is that the Goa'uld have advanced more since you went to sleep. So if their technology is failing them then it's a sure bet that yours will fail you." Daniel looked at her waiting to see the anger rise to her face.
Athena looked at Daniel and shook her head laughing. O'Neill flinched as he heard it, he had to remind himself that it was the Goa'uld and not Sam because even though it looked like her, it did not sound like her. "Daniel Jackson, you of all people I expected to have some common sense as to who I am and what I can do. I am the goddess of war and wisdom, my title is no lie! The System Lords have always been narrow minded and weak, they have always been set up to fail. But I am more, much, much more; I am the goddess who brought whole races to their knees. The System Lords are beneath me and I plan to finish what I started long ago, I plan to bring an end to the System Lords and all who stand in my way." She said and turned around pressing a button on the panel beside her. Immediately the walls to the left of them faded into windows.
O'Neill turned his head and took in the view with wide eyes. They were in space, and from the window he could see hundreds of Goa'uld mother ships that looked like none he had ever seen before. They were larger than other Goa'uld mother ships, and instead of golden they were the color teal. Around them were smaller ships that looked much more battle capable than any other Goa'uld ship. "Oh crap." He said under his breath.
Athena turned and walked over to her throne sitting down and crossing her legs rather sexily. She then nodded to the Jaffa behind O'Neill and Daniel and said, "Put them in the dungeon, they will be questioned later." And with that the Jaffa grabbed the two prisoners and dragged them out of the room. Athena turned her gaze to another Jaffa and ordered, "Let the siege begin!"
Teal'c sat on a bed in the infirmary not moving or talking as a nurse put two small bandages over the cut on his forehead. He stared at the wall blankly as he replayed the scene of the fight over and over in his head. The moment he had come into the infirmary Janet Frasier had come rushing up to him to look at his wound. After examining it quickly she had ordered a nurse to get the bandages, she then had turned to him and asked, "Teal'c where is the rest of the team, they need to be checked out too."
Teal'c had turned his head to look at her. And with a quiet and almost neutral tone he had said, "They did not make it."
Janet's hand had immediately shot up and covered her mouth as she gasped, "No!" The look of horror and sadness in her eyes had only made Teal'c heart ache more. Now several minutes later Teal'c looked past the nurse at Dr. Frasier who was sitting in a chair against the wall covering her face with her hands. He saw the slight shake of her body and realized she was crying.
At that moment General Hammond came barging into the infirmary and walked over to Teal'c. "Teal'c, I need you to tell me everything that happened before you got through the gate." He said in a military like manner, though his eyes were soft and kind. Dr. Frasier stood up and walked over to stand beside the General, her eyes still red but her tears stopped.
Teal'c nodded and began to debrief the General and Doctor on the events of the battle. When he told them about seeing Carter in O'Neill's arms clearly already dead Janet flinched and bit her lip but did not cry. He finished with the debrief and then said, "General I do not believe Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter and Daniel Jackson to be dead."
"What makes you say that son?" Hammond asked.
"The Jaffa, the mark they bore on their foreheads was that of a Goa'uld from legend. The Goa'uld they served was said to be one of the most powerful System Lords to have ever lived. But for her betrayal and attempts to overtake the System Lords she was killed. But the Jaffa we saw today bore her mark, so I believe she is alive and has a sarcophagus. I also believe she will have revived SG-1 in order to gain information from them." Teal'c said.
"Who is this Goa'uld?" Janet asked her eyebrows furrowed.
"Her name is Athena and according to Jaffa legend she is more powerful than any other System Lord that has ever lived." Teal'c said.
"And you think she would have revived SG-1 for information?" Hammond pried.
"Yes, she will seek answers on what has happened over the many years of her absence. She will most likely torture them to gain the knowledge she requires, and most likely take a new host as well for direct access to information."
Janet's eyes went wide and she looked at Teal'c her mouth dry. "Teal'c you don't think… I mean… she wouldn't…" Janet couldn't get her words out.
"Dr. Frasier, I believe there is a strong possibility that if Athena had chosen a new host that it will be Major Carter." Teal'c said and though his tone stayed the same, his heart felt as though it were breaking as he saw Janet's look of horror and fear before she ran out of the infirmary.
