disclamer This writer does not own Stargaten SG1, or any of the SG charters. but the OC Ember is MINE. MUHhahaha.
(I hope y'all like this chapter it was a rollercoaster to write so pleas review)
Before another word could be spoken the Stargate swooshed open and a shock grenade came rolling through and with a bright flash Sg1 and Vos dropped to the ground unconscious.
Ember fast reflexes saved her the brunt of the flash and she remained conscious but the sound left her dizzy and head pounding.
Before she could recover a Zatt blast hit her and she collapsed to the ground alongside the other occupants in the cave and her world went suddenly black.
*****unknown******
Ember woke in a nearly pitch black room her head throbbed and there was a piercing ringing in her ears and her injured arm was awake and also in pain, Janet would not be happy.
As she pushed herself up she found that her legs were chained together and secured to the wall with only about a foot of link in-between.
"Fantastic." She hissed.
"Daniel?" She waited a few seconds. "Carter, Jack, Teal'c…..Vos?" Another pause as she strained to hear anything, after a few minutes she started to think about how she was going to escape when she head a groan,
She turned her full attention back to listening.
Another groan followed then another soon she knew that all of Sg1 plus Vos was in the room with her.
Carter was the first to speak.
"Colonel you alright?" Jack's voice was strained. "I've been better, anybody know what happened?"
Before anyone could voice their suspicions a door opened fooding the dark room with light causing all those inside to screw their eyes shut against the sudden light.
"Kal kek m'al shol'va?" (ready to die traitor?)
The Jaffa who entered had his eye not on Teal'c as one would expect but on Ember.
"If I am to die in defiance of fake gods then I will do so, I will die free." She replied cooly.
The Jaffa growled and motioned to the other Jaffa and they unchained SG1, Vos and Ember and proceeded to drag them from the dark room.
"Um if I may ask, where are you taking us?"
Jack asked and was rewarded with a knock to the head to silence him.
"Leave him alone Jaffa, least your goddess punish you for acting without h—." Ember also received a knock on the head.
"Silence Shol'va." The head Jaffa barked.
They were escorted through the halls of a typical goa'uld temple.
As they moved Ember and the team took advantage of the light to view their surrounding and to see each other and how they were fairing and what injures they might had obtained.
After five minutes and a dozen turns they entered the main room.
The ceiling was at least three stories high, the room was big enough to fit the three or four tanks and along the walls there were four pillars on each side each one depicting moon-phase, behind the pillars were artifacts mostly small weapons arrows and daggers.
The majority of the room was snow white with silver etching everywhere it appeared on the walls, pillars and ceiling as a mass of vines edging it's way everywhere.
At the end of the hall like room was a silver dais upon which sat a silver throne with tiny gray words covering it, and upon the throne sat a young girl no older than the age of 14.
The girl examined them for a few seconds each seeming to memorize the features and characteristics of each of her prisoners.
"Kneel before your goddess!"
The Jaffa kicked their prisoners knees so that each was forced to drop into a kneeling position, Ember sidestepped the first two kicks but the third caught her and she joined the others.
"Jaffa who have you brought be for me?" The girl asked her eyes glowed and her voice was deep.
"And why is my Lo'taur with them?" All eyes landed on Vos who knelt quietly as if waiting to be recognized.
He bowed low to the ground.
"My goddess I was doing as you wished of me, I was on the planet you deemed your sacred hunting arena when these humans arrived and vanquished those who were foolish enough to invade that which was yours,
These who pretend to be your servants did not know me, but this one-" at this point he pointed to Ember who remained silent.
"Knew your teachings and spoke as one who had sat at your feet and learned from you great knowledge and-" He looked back to his mistress.
"She knows of the Chimera."
All went silent and goa'uld sat up straight and leaned forward, Embers eyes were locked on the floor and her breathing was slow and rhythmatic.
"Who are you Human, that you know that which none outside my service know?"
Ember waited a moment to speak and when she did she started in goa'uld.
"Mekta satak Oz."
((My identity is the Great and Powerful Oz))
She did not smile but did appear to enjoy the reactions that followed.
Sg1 (Daniel translated quietly to Sam and Jack))
All smiled, but Vos the Jaffa and the goa'uld did not seem to enjoy the joke.
The goa'uld leaned forward.
"You are a fool to mock me human."
She stepped down from her throne and advanced towards Ember who's back went stiff.
"I who have the power to make your life one of leisure or-" She placed her hand on Ember's shoulder. "I can make it excruciating, so I would advi-"
Ember stood suddenly.
"You have no power over my life Artemis." She hissed.
Artemis stepped back her Jaffa pointing their staffs at Ember.
"I am no slave to a fake goddess, though I can not deny my origins is being raised by the goa'uld, I am no longer Ember, Chimera servant of the goddess Artemis."
Ember reached and pulled the bandage from her arm even though it was now well on its way to healing lines of blood still began to flow, so that now both Carter and the goa'uld could now feel the Naqahdah inside of Ember.
"I am Colonel Ember Jackson leader of SG 3 new earth, enemy to all goa'uld."
The room went silent.
The young goa'uld stared at Ember then at the rest of SG1 finally she spoke. "Jaffa Kree! Return these prisoners to their cells and separate this one from the others." She proclaimed indicating Ember.
"Vos return to my chambers for your punishment."
Vos in the Jaffa jumped to obey and SG1 and Ember were separated none of them saying the word.
******In new cell****Jaffa P.O.V****
The Jaffa smiled as he pressed the Hara'kesh against the shoulder of the young human female again causing her to scream before removing it quickly as not to kill her, yet.
He must retrieve the information his goddess needed.
"Who are you?"
Nemos demanded again but again the only answer he received was a small shake of the head, when they had started the human would mock them then she had begun cursed them in goa'uld and other languages they didn't know but now all she could do was shake her head.
Nemos growled this human was tougher then he had guessed, usually humans were all talk but when it came to pain they crumpled but not this one.
perhaps after she relinquished the required information the goddess would see fit to keep this human as a slave.
The door behind Nemos opened.
"HOL. JAFFA KREE!" A voice commanded all the Jaffa snapped to attention and whatever color was still in the humans face drained away.
*****Ember's P.O.V*****
When the door opened Ember was only happy that they had stopped with the interrogation long enough for her to breath, but when she glanced up she wished it would continue when she saw who had just entered the room.
It was this dimensions version of her old trainer Va'tu and he looked just as terrifying as her own.
"So this is the human?
I have never seen you before.
So tell me then girl how do you know so much?"
Ember felt the courage she had felt before vanish, this was the man who had trained her and helped mold her into the goa'uld's perfect warrior while at the same time seeding the thoughts and feelings that later lead to Ember's betrayal to the goa'uld,
but he felt different in a way she could not explain.
So she remained silent.
"Was I lied to? I was told she had a sharp tongue,
Did you cut it off?" He pointed this last question towards Namos who looked slightly panicked but also a tad pleased. "No sir, after just a taste of pain her silver tongue seems to have stilled. I am surprised sir that she hasn't begged for death, her species is so weak."
Va'tu did not look amused, but before he could speak another word Ember found her voice.
"To die is easy, life is pain and to chose to live takes true strength." She spoke with voice low and head stilled bowed.
Va'tu stared at her. "A warrior who fears death is a coward." He responded and all the Jaffa all looked on with interest.
"If a man fears nothing then he is ether stupid or dead."
Ember responded her tone like steel but in her eyes she knew Va'tu saw fear that was well hidden.
"Take her to my integration room." He ordered.
Ember was picked up roughly and dragged from the room.
Va'tu did not follow he went down a separate hall.
And that is when the explosion shook the base.
