As the storm on Goranak intensifies Mitchell and Teal'c pursue the rebel in to the thick forest, they were a far distance behind and as the enter a few meters in to the deeply dark forest they stop after losing sight of the rebel.

"Where'd he go?" says Mitchell.

Teal'c holds up his finger demanding silence as he concentrates and slowly turns his head glaring in to the forest and using his senses like a radar, he hears the faint sound of a breaking branch in the distance, "This way." he says before bolting off in to the forest once again.

Teal'c is just too darn fast for Mitchell to keep up with him and eventually he loses sight of his team mate, "Teal'c?!" he shouts in a low voice.

As Mitchell quickly turns his head after seeing a bright yellow flash in the distance he is tackled to the ground moments before being hit by an energy blast from the rebels staff weapon which misses him and impacts a tree behind him.

After saving Mitchell's life, Teal'c kneels back up and opens fire in to the trees as an exchange of weapons fire begins.

Jack and the others were rushing through the forest to their location when they heard the weapons fire.

"Stay here. You're with me lets go." orders Jack.

"But..." says Sam before being interrupted.

"Stay there!" orders Jack as he and the Jaffa head away.

Teal'c and Mitchell continue to exchange weapons fire in the darkness while avoiding the bark exploding from the trees around them after being struck by the energy blasts.

"I can't see a damn thing." shouts Mitchell.

Jack and the Jaffa approach from the East and stop a few meters from their position and can see the flashes from their weapons fire near by, they go around and approach the rebel from behind.

The rebel senses them approaching and spins around, the Jaffa guard wasn't able to react quickly enough and the rebel fires two shots in the Jaffa's chest and killing him instantly, Jack uses the blinding flashes to rush from behind the falling Jaffa and opens fire on the rebel taking him down.

"Mitchell, Teal'c, come in." says Jack on the radio.

"Colonel?" replies Mitchell.

"Yeah we got him." says Jack.

Mitchell and Teal'c stand and head over to him.

Jack cautiously approaches the rebel laying on the ground, he kicks the staff aside after seeing the rebel is badly wounded but still breathing.

"Is he dead?" asks Mitchell.

"No he's alive, for now." says Jack.


Goranak: Inside the rebels Al'Kesh


SG-1 along with Du'ak enter the Al'Kesh, the rebel is in cuffs and being held by Teal'c who has him firmly gripped by the collar of his robe, as the enter the ship Teal'c throws him against the back wall.

"Is that the best you've got, Shol'va!." teases the rebel.

Teal'c turns and lunges for the rebel with great anger in his eyes, he violently pulls the rebel to his feet and punches him in the face.

"Easy, easy big guy." says Jack, struggling to pull Teal'c away, he manages to calm him down and take him in to the front of the ship.

"We need him for now, you can kick his ass later." says Jack, "Sam, any chance you can get this thing operational?" he asks.

Sam is standing by a raised panel of crystals near the flight controls, "Well this is what we think they use to bypass the planetary shield around Luxlal but there's still a crystal missing, the ship will fly but we need the missing crystal if we're going to make it passed the shield." she says.

Jack moves to the back of the ship to question the rebel.

"Where's the missing crystal?" asks Jack.

The rebel is sitting with his back to the wall, he looks at Jack but then looks away, "I am bleeding, I need medical attention." he says.

"You will tell us what we wish to know, rebel!" shouts Du'ak.

"I will tell you nothing." says the rebel.

Jack kneels beside him, "I know you're planning an attack on Earth and that your base is on Luxlal, we're going to stop you and this ship will allow us to get passed the shield, now where is the crystal we need to get this thing working?!" he asks.

The rebel remains silent and just smirks.

"Alright have it your way." says Jack, "Teal'c." he shouts.

As Teal'c approaches, the rebel has a sudden change of heart, "Alright, alright." he shouts, he then unties his robe and lifts up his shirt, he reaches in to his symbiote pouch and painfully pulls out a small crystal.

"Oh that's disgusting." says Alisana, "I think I'm going to throw up." she adds.

"Here, take it." says the rebel, holding out the puss covered crystal.

Jack takes a step back, "Daniel, take the crystal." he says.

"I uhm, I don't think so. Mitchell you take it." says Daniel.

"Oh for God sake.." says Vala, reaching in and taking the crystal, "..it's just a little puss." she says.

Vala takes the crystal in to the front of the ship and places it in to the raised shield control panel, as she connects the crystal the panel activates and lights up before slowly sliding shut.

"There." says Vala with a smile.

"We're good to go." says Sam.

"Great, get this thing in the air." says Jack.

"Colonel O'Neill, it would be wise to wait until the storm has cleared." says Du'ak.

"If we wait much longer it may be too late to stop the rebels, we have to go now." says Mitchell.

"He's right, we can't wait." says Jack.

"I must remain here and question the rebel further, there may be more left to be found." says Du'ak.

"You can not leave me here." complains the rebel.

"Yes I can." says Jack.

"They will torture me." says the rebel.

"Yes, they probably will." says Jack, he places his hand on the rebels shoulder, "Have fun." he adds.

Du'ak gets the rebel to his feet and steps out of the ship, "Safe journey." he says.

"They will torture him you know." says Daniel, watching the door close.

"I don't care." says Jack.


Giza, Egypt: Inside The Great Pyramid


Down in the deep subterranean chamber, the large group of men are continuing to dig through the South wall, two men come out of the chamber doorway carrying a stretcher with a sheet covering the body of a man who has died from the dusty conditions.

Two men continue to stand by the door and watch as they bring the stretcher passed them.

"That is the twelfth man we have lost, Siirjan."

"They will be remembered brother." says Siirjan.

"Perhaps I should not have killed the guard, he will be missed by now, others may come."

"It will not matter, we must remain on schedule if we are to..." says Siirjan.

Before he can finish his sentence he's interrupted by shouting from inside the chamber and goes to investigate, "It is found, it is found." shout the men digging the hole.

Siirjan looks at the wall and can see something metallic behind the cracks, "Remove the bricks, quickly quickly." he orders.

The workers hurry to pull the remaining bricks from the wall to reveal a large closed door with a huge symbol of the eye of Ra moulded on the front.

Siirjan barges passed the working, "Out of my way." he shouts, he feels around the door and then turns to his companion, "We have found it brother." he says.

"What now?."

Siirjan lifts a chain from around his neck, a medallion in the shape of the sun hangs from the chain, he touches the medallion against the door in the middle of the eye and begins to chant.

"Tum-Ex-Ra-Ic'ulum. Tum-Ex-Ra-Ic'ulum. Tum-Ex-Ra-Ic'ulum." he repeats.

As he chants the medallion glows a bright yellow and the light travels around the eye of Ra and the edges of the door, then the door cracks open an inch in a sudden jolt and after a brief pause the two sides of the door continue to slowly push open, a strong gust of wind blows passed them as its sucked in to the newly opened space.
