Chapter 10: The battle for Kresh'ta. Part 2.
Starfire charged her starbolts, getting ready for the fight she knew would probably be over very quickly, for her at any rate. For a few seconds, no one moved.
On the Pel'tak of Baal's ship.
Baal was just about to beat Slade to the ground, when the ship was rocked by a massive explosion; Baal stumbled backwards, barely managing to stay on his feet.
"What the hell was that?" he snarled, his tactical officer shoved Slade to one side and read the readouts on screen.
"We've suffered minor damage to the weapon systems my lord."
"Get them back online and prepare to return fire, I don't care which one of them shot us, they're all going to get it!"
"It wasn't the other ships. It was one of my enemies." Slade said confidently as he looked out the window at a tiny speck of bright green light.
He knew instantly who had attacked them, and really, it could have only been her.
"Starfire." he muttered.
Baal stood beside him and glared and the small speck.
"As soon as our weapons are back online, destroy that pest."
Meanwhile, on the bridge of Prometheus.
"Status report Major." General Hammond ordered.
Major Erin Gant looked at the console in front of her.
"Baal's ship has sustained minor damage, their weapons have been taken offline, but they'll probably be back up soon."
"Who took them out? I didn't see any other ships fire on him." Hammond asked. Gant shook her head.
"I don't know sir."
Just then, another bridge officer drew Hammond's attention.
"Err sir… the other ships are powering their weapons."
"How many are targeting us?"
"A few… about three or four."
"Bring shields to full, charge all rail gun batteries, load all torpedo bays, if they want a fight, we'll give them one."
"Yes sir."
Outside the fleet, Star's perspective.
For a moment, Starfire wondered whether or not the ships were going to do anything, then suddenly, all at once, the ships began firing at one another.
Hundreds of plasma bolts flew back and forth, the only two ships not firing, at least for the moment, was Baal's flagship, and Prometheus.
Baal's fleet were caught in the crossfire as the System Lords and the Rebels tried to cut his fleet to pieces, the Al'Kesh and Ha'taks were moving in all directions, trying to avoid being hit, while exchanging fire. Then suddenly, several of the Ha'taks, Starfire couldn't tell who they belonged to, opened fire on the last ship to arrive, which responded by firing, what looked to Starfire, like two rail-gun batteries and launching several missiles at various targets.
Just then, the first ship she had attacked opened fire again, but it wasn't targeting the surface, or any other ship. It was targeting her.
"EEEP!" Star gasped as she immediately started flying towards the fleet to avoid the plasma bolts that were missing her by mere feet.
She flew in a zigzag pattern towards the ships, quickly trying to decide which one to go for, while throwing starbolts back at the ship, but her bolts did little damage.
The rebels were fairing just as badly, they only had five ships, and Prometheus covering their backs, but still, it was six against eight, the rest busied themselves with each other. Starfire watched as two Ha'taks disintegrated under a hail of plasma bolts, Baal's fleet were now down to five ships. Then several more exploded simultaneously as Prometheus's Naquadah-enhanced nuclear missiles hit their targets; the System Lords were now down to 4 ships.
In response, the System Lords started to ignore the Rebels, and Baal, and started beating on Prometheus.
Prometheus' bridge.
The sound of alarms and people shouting to one another was being over shadowed by the constant pounding sounds of the ship's rail-guns as the continually fired at their targets, the two columns of bright light that marked the trail of projectiles clearly visible through the window. Suddenly, there were violet explosions as the ship was rocked by an attack, the entire room shook as several consoles exploded; General Hammond had to struggle to stay in his seat.
"Damage report!" he yelled.
"Shields at sixty percent! Minor damage sustained to the outer hull." Major Gant reported.
"Sir!" another bridge officer drew Hammond's attention and he looked over to his left.
"Tolok's and Ishta's ships are taking heavy damage, they're fleet is being decimated!"
"Tell them to fall back, then move us closer so we can cover them." Hammond ordered.
"Yes sir!" the officer replied, and sent the transmission.
Gant noticed something odd and drew Hammond's attention back to her.
"Sir! Baal's ship! It's not firing at the rebels, us or the System Lords, it's firing at something else, I can't tell what it is yet, but its too small to be a Glider or one of our X-302s, and it's too manoeuvrable to be a missile…and it seems to be firing at Baal's ship…what the hell?..."
"Strange…" Hammond thought. "Keep an eye on it, major."
"Yes sir."
Back among the fleet, Star's perspective.
Starfire continued to dart back and forth between the ships, doing her best to avoid the plasma bolts heading her way, suddenly she got an idea, flying over towards one of the ships attacking Prometheus, which just happened to be one of Baal's, she positioned herself in front of the ship, then, as the attacking ship's sensors locked onto her position, the weapons fire zeroed in. she smiled.
"I believe now I can do the 'Thinning out' of their numbers." She thought just as the bolts headed straight for her, and missed.
Just as the bolts were about to hit her, she flew upwards about six feet, it wasn't enough for the attacking ship's sensors to register a position change, but it was enough for the bolts to miss her and cut into the pyramid of the ship behind her, ripping it to pieces. The ship began shaking from the impact, as explosions continued to wreak havoc through out the ship. Starfire giggled happily.
Baal's ship, Pel'tak.
Baal stared in shock at the scene before him, as another of his ships was destroyed, by his own ship's weapons! He wheeled on the tactical officer, his eyes glowing gold. He was now down to three ships.
"What the hell are you doing? STOP FIRING!" he yelled, the tactical officer quickly complied, knowing that he might be killed any minute.
"I—I—I—I was j—j—just f—f—following orders…M-My L—Lord…" the Jaffa trembled; the look on Baal's face told him everything. He was going to die.
He opened his mouth to protest, to save his life, but he didn't get the chance, Baal reached to his left and grabbed a Staff Weapon, bringing it to him, he levelled it at the Jaffa's chest.
He fired.
The bolt hit the Jaffa square in the chest, killing him instantly. Baal turned to a Kull Warrior.
"Take your station!" he snapped, the warrior silently obeyed.
With Starfire.
Meanwhile, back among the fleet, the battle continued on, Starfire was flying in an erratic pattern, shooting bolts at random targets, well, not completely random, she didn't target the ones that the strange rectangular vessel protected and fought beside, she sensed they were allies, and did not pose a threat.
The rest of the fleet was another matter though.
Baal's fleet were concentrating their fire on the System Lords, the Rebels, Prometheus, and Starfire, but they were quickly being overwhelmed. Several more ships exploded, leaving Baal with only two ships left, things were NOT going his way. The Rebels weren't doing much better, they were down to only Tolok's and Ishta's ships, Prometheus was the only thing standing between them and destruction, and Prometheus was beginning to feel the pressure.
The Pel'tak of Yu's ship.
The room shook violently as more explosions rocked the ship, Yu sat in his chair, watching the battle unfold, he could see Baal was loosing, so were the Rebels. The planet and the Ancient temple would be theirs soon. He pressed several control panels on the arm of his chair and activated the Comm. System.
The image of Svarog appeared on-screen.
"The battle will soon be ours. Baal, the Tau'ri vessel and the Rebels will soon be defeated." Yu said, giving a slight smile.
"Maybe, but we will still have to contend with the forces on the ground, my sensors have been giving me strange readings coming from the surface. I do not believe it would be safe to proceed to the surface just yet." Svarog replied.
"A simple bombardment will take care of that." Yu replied.
"But what of the temple? We don't want to destroy that. Any bombardment may destroy it." Svarog replied, Yu thought carefully for a moment.
Before Yu could say anything, his ship was rocked by a powerful blast, as Tolok's ship open fire on him, several consoles exploded, the image of Svarog shimmered slightly, then faded as several impacts hit Svarog's ship, cutting communications.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile, on the ground, SG-1 was attempting to continue translating the Ancient text, but it was going slowly.
"You found anything else yet?" Sam asked. Daniel shook his head.
Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched from the shadows of several other ruins, everyone was too busy to notice it, and the sound of the battle drowned out the slight humming sound of the hologram of Anubis, as he stood reading the text on the walls. Since he could understand Ancient, perhaps even more fluently than Daniel, he wasn't struggling to read it.
Daniel perked up, he'd found something, Anubis focused on him.
"Wait a minute, I think I've got something… it's a gate address…" Daniel pointed to the series of symbols carved on the rock.
"Does it say where it leads?" Teal'c asked, Daniel thought for a moment.
"It says…'…and on the great stone tablet, shall press these symbols, the eye of light shall carry those who seek enlightenment to… the sanctuary of the sacred one? Or it could be… the place of prophecies…" Daniel trailed off, reading some more of the text, Sam started scanning the walls, looking for anything she could find that might help, then she spotted something.
"Hey guys, look at this."
Daniel, Teal'c, and Anubis turned to look; again, no-one noticed him.
"It's a second gate address." Daniel pointed out.
"What does it say?" Sam asked.
"Err……" but before Daniel could react, there was a bright glare of white light behind them, the hologram quickly faded before they noticed, instead, they found themselves looked at two Kull warriors, and a man dressed in black and grey body armor, with a black and bronze mask, a single hole cut into the left, bronze side, showing a grey, emotionless eye, and a grill in the mask served as a mouth. He was holding a Zat Gun.
Without thinking, Sam raised her weapon and fired the disrupter at one of the warriors, Teal'c firing at the other. Both warriors went down quickly. The man just stood there, calmly. SG-1 turned their weapons on him.
"Let me guess." Daniel monotoned. "You're Slade."
"You are quite correct, Daniel Jackson." Slade answered smoothly.
Daniel raised an eyebrow. "How do you know my name?"
"My new…acquaintance has told me much about you." Slade said calmly.
Sam trained her weapon on him, switching to the gun's regular ammo.
"So, you're the one who attacked the Tok'ra, and almost killed my father." Slade raised an eyebrow, though no-one saw it under the mask.
"I have to admit, he didn't put up much of a fight, quite a weakling, actually…like a certain Titan I know."
"You bastard!" Sam growled, scowling and gritting her teeth, before Slade could do or say anything, she opened fire. Daniel and Teal'c following suit. But Slade had already started moving.
He quickly jumped forwards, drawing his bo-staff, and delivering a solid kick to Sam's head, knocking her backwards, she was out cold.
"Sam!" Daniel yelled, before grabbing her weapon and opening fire on his new enemy with both barrels, but again, Slade easily dodged, the bullets striking the wall that Daniel had just been reading, destroying the text.
Slade jumped over him and landed, quickly swinging his staff and delivering a sharp blow to Daniel's head. Jackson was knocked to the ground but remained conscious, barely. Then Teal'c made his move; diving on Slade and sending both of them to the floor, Teal'c raised himself up and proceeded to deliver hard, punishing blows to Slade's head with his fists. Slade's response was to roll the Jaffa off of him and then quickly stand.
"Your skills are impressive. But you are no match for me." Slade said, delivering a round-house kick, but missing. Teal'c got into a combat pose and the two began circling each other.
"Many of my opponents have said that. All have been proven wrong." Teal'c calmly, but dangerously replied, narrowing his eyes and preparing to strike.
He charged.
Remembering his training under Bra'tac, he moved swiftly, grabbing at Slade and throwing him to the ground, following up with a series of punches and kicks designed to weaken his opponent, but a combat veteran like Slade was no easy fight.
Slade easily dodged the blows levelled his way, before delivering some of his own.
Moving quickly, he struck at Teal'c, using the same combat moves he'd used against Robin in the past. Throwing several punches, which missed, he waited for Teal'c to strike, when he did, he grabbed the Jaffa's wrist, spun himself around and used his body weight and strength as leverage, throwing the Jaffa over his head and against the wall.
"All but one; it would seem…" Slade replied. Teal'c groaned, trying to get back to his feet, Slade just stood there, taunting him.
"If the Titans could not beat me. Then you have no chance of winning."
"This battle…ugh…is not yet……ugh……over!" Teal'c snarled, getting to his feet and rushing Slade, ploughing into him and knocking him to the floor. A hail of blows rained down on Slade's mask, denting the metal. Using all he strength, Slade lifted his feet and kicked Teal'c away, jumping back to his feet, he charged again.
"…but it will be soon." Slade taunted.
Throwing several well placed kicks, he managed to throw Teal'c off balance, shoving him to one side, he grabbed Daniel's weapon and aimed it right at Teal'c, who jumped to his feet and jumped behind one of the other walls, but not before throwing Carter and Jackson over the wall. Slade opened fire, trying to hit them, but only succeeding on destroying more of the text. He stopped firing and advanced on him prey.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile, with the titans, the battle was finally turning in their favour, the Kull warriors were slowly begin beaten down.
Robin panted hard as he landed on a rock formation, just after throwing the last of his disks at a group of warriors, resting his hands on his knees. He looked up to see the warriors regrouping, and preparing to engage again.
"These guys…don't know…when…to quit…do they?" he said between gasps. Cyborg stumbled next to him, checking his power reserves.
"No, they…don't…" he replied wearily.
"How you holding up?" Robin asked. Cyborg sighed.
"I'm due for a recharge, let's put it that way." At that moment, Beast Boy came stumbling up to them, taking cover as the warriors opened fire again, he was quickly join by the two girls.
"Dude…any word from Star yet?"
"None. I hope she's ok." Robin said, ducking out of the way of more blasts, the SG teams and Bra'tac's Jaffa were quickly dealing with the remaining warriors.
Just then, they heard gunfire from over near the ruins, they looked over to see what was going on, and Robin's blood froze.
It was him. HIM!
"NO! This is IMPOSSIBLE!" Robin's mind screamed, he gritted his teeth and snarled.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Slade had just walked round a section of wall and was now standing inside the temple proper, some of the roof's supporting columns and cross-beams still standing.
He levelled his weapon at Teal'c, who was busy reaching for a weapon of his own. Sam and Daniel had finally come round and were struggling to get to their feet.
"You put up a good fight, but I'm afraid it ends no—"
"SLLLAAADDDEEE!"
A voice full of rage screamed his name, and before Slade could do anything, a steel toe-capped boot connected with the side of his head; knocking him back into the wall.
Sam blinked, one minute, she was about to get gunned down by this lunatic, and the next, he was kicked into a wall, and where he had been standing, now crouched Robin, the look on his face was one of someone ready to kill.
The others quickly joined him and confronted their mortal nemesis.
"How did you get here Slade!" Robin snarled baring his teeth and raising his sword, Raven surrounding herself with black aura, her eyes turning red, Cyborg turning both hands into sonic cannons; aiming them at Slade's head, Beast Boy transforming into the Beast; preparing to strike with lethal force, and Terra was preparing to bring down the whole temple on Slade's head.
"The same way you did." Slade replied calmly, getting into a battle stance, readying all his weapons, then he continued.
"I sent the H.I.V.E. to that bank, I had planned something else though, but when I noticed you and Raven were missing, and Cyborg asked Jinx for help, I decided to discard what I had planned originally and followed them back to the Tower, then when I saw your friends step through that portal, I decided to follow. I ended up in a factory of some kind, then I found myself on an alien ship, having a 'talk' with it's commander, I struck a deal with him: I help him get rid of his enemies and achieve the power he wants, he helps me get rid of you, then when he's least expecting it; I seize his power for my own. Of course, I didn't tell him that last part." Slade said, with a smirk in his voice. Sam scoffed.
"You're a fool. As soon as Baal is done with you, he'll kill you; you won't get the chance to make a move."
"What makes you think this 'Baal' will get the chance?" Robin growled, he was seething, Sam, for the life of her had never seen anyone this angry before.
"Ah yes, Robin. I remember that promise you made when we last met. You say you are a man of your word. Prove it."
"With pleasure." Robin seethed "Titans! TAKE HIM!"
And with that, all the Titans attacked at once.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile, back in orbit, Starfire was still engaged in combat with the enemy fleet, though there weren't many left.
She approached one of Baal's two remaining ships and let off a shower of starbolts, the blasts cut into the already weakened shields, within a few seconds, they were gone, and the bolts began striking the hull, causing only minimal damage, but the ship was quickly attacked by two rail-guns as Prometheus made a last ditch attempt to take out the enemy.
Prometheus' bridge.
"Report Major!" General Hammond ordered.
"Our shields are down to six percent, our missile complement is gone, and rail-gun batteries 3, 4 and five are offline." Gant replied grimly. Hammond nodded.
"What about the enemy?" he asked.
"Baal's ship has suffered heavy damage; the other ship that he has left is just about destroyed. The System Lords haven't got many ships left either, about three, I think."
"What about our people on the surface?" Hammond asked. Gant consulted her readouts, bracing herself as the ship shook again.
"The enemy forces are being pushed back, we've been getting strange readings from the ground, I haven no idea what's been causing them though."
At that moment, Yu's face appeared on the window, overlaying the battle outside.
"Your allies have fallen, Baal is defeated, and your ship is heavily damaged. I suggest you surrender now, and save yourselves."
Hammond glared at him. "Over my dead body. We're not surrendering to anyone. Least of all you."
"Do not be a fool." Yu replied. "My sensors tell me that you won't be able to withstand another hit. I do not wish to destroy you, since you are no longer a threat, but I will if you force my hand."
"You do what you got to do, and I'll do what I got to do." Hammond replied, cutting communications.
The hologram faded just as Baal's second to last ship exploded. Now he was in trouble.
Pel'tak of Baal's ship.
"My Lord!" Baal's first prime yelled over the explosions occurring all around him. "Our entire fleet is lost! We must retreat!"
"NO!" Baal snapped. "We must secure that temple! We must find out what it contains!"
"I already know." Anubis spoke up, calmly. Baal turned to him slowly.
"You already know! How?"
Anubis smiled slightly.
"I used the communication systems to take a look at the temple walls. I know what the writings say, and I also know what our next destination will be. Our business here is finished. Finish off that pest that you foolishly let destroy your fleet, and let's go. Beam Slade back aboard, I believe we still have a use for him. Once he is aboard, jump into hyper-space and set a course for the coordinates I will provide."
Back among the fleet.
Starfire was now directing her attacks against the System Lords, who were now concentrating their fire on her.
"I believe I have done well to distract them, but I do not think I can do much more, for I am growing weary of this battle."
Just then, Baal's ship opened fire with all its remaining weapons, aiming straight for Starfire, who had decided to pause for a moment to rest. Big mistake.
The blasts hit her dead on. Causing a small explosion, she disappeared in a ball of flame.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as the blasts hit her, she immediately flew towards the planet to avoid being hit again; she was amazed she survived being hit!
The ball of flame quickly faded as she fell towards the atmosphere; soon a burning trail of plasma was being left behind her as she entered the atmosphere, losing consciousness as she did.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The Titans lunged forwards, all giving battle cries as they struck at Slade. Raven letting blasts of black energy fly from her hands; Beast Boy pouncing for him, swiping with his claws and snarling; Cyborg letting him have it with both barrels; Terra using her powers to create a shockwave of sand, grabbing anything she could pick up and throwing it in his direction; and Robin, he was throwing every weapon he had left at Slade.
He dodged every single attack.
Sam moved forward to engage him, but Raven sent her a message telepathically.
"Stay out of this, Colonel, he's our enemy. Leave him to us." Raven quickly sent that message to the other two members of SG-1, as they watch the Titans battle Slade.
Terra's powers were shaking the entire area, causing the support beams and columns to shake violently, Daniel thought the entire temple was going to come down on their heads.
Beast Boy managed to land on top of Slade and was now in the process of trying to shred his armour.
"Get off of me you little green freak!" Slade roared and punched BB in the head, knocking him back, he got to his feet and was about to attack again when he was hit full in the face by both of Cyborg's sonic cannons, knocking him back against the wall. He tried getting up but his body was suddenly encased in a black aura.
"Well, this won't be pleasant." He thought absentmindedly as he was suddenly thrown into the air and slammed full force into each of the stone columns, one at a time, then Raven slammed him into the ceiling, or what little of it remained, then he was slammed into the floor, then finally into the wall.
When Raven finally decided to let him go, he stumbled to his feet, the sound of bones cracking made Sam wince inwardly. Then Slade was knocked back to the ground with a punch to the face, he felt a blade being pressed against his neck. He looked up into the bloodlust filled eyes of Robin.
"Well…" he panted "What are you waiting for Robin…? Fulfil you promise. Kill me." Robin gritted his teeth, part of him had wanted to do just that for years, but another part, the rational part Bruce had drilled into him during his training came back to him. He remembered the oath Bruce made him take, and part of that oath had been.
'As a protector of the innocent. You are under no circumstances to take another's life."
Robin gritted his teeth again, he was struggling with his inner demons, Slade smirked. Robin brought his sword back over his head, preparing to strike…
When suddenly, there was a bright flash of light, and Slade vanished, just as Robin's blade stuck the dirt, where Slade's neck had been only a second ago.
"NO!" Robin yelled. The other Titans all panted, trying to recover their breaths. Teal'c stepped forwards, carefully, looking uneasily to each of the Titans. Daniel looked back at the walls, the writing was ruined.
"Damn it!" he snapped.
"You remember the gate address, don't you?" Sam asked, Daniel nodded, but he still looked unhappy.
"Those gate addresses won't do us any good if we don't know what's there."
"That's what MALPs are for." Sam muttered, turning back to the Titans. "So what's the deal with this creep?"
"His name is Slade. We've been fighting him for years now, though for the last year or two, we haven't seen him." Cyborg said dangerously.
"Until now." Robin growled.
"This changes everything." Raven stated, straightening up. Sam raised an eyebrow at her.
"How's that?" she asked.
"Simple. If Slade and Baal are working together, then we, or should I say, you, have no choice but to let us join your team, at least until we get rid of Slade. He's going to be far more difficult to take down now, and I'll wager your enemy will be a lot tougher too." Raven replied smoothly.
Sam was just about to speak up to debate the matter when her radio crackled.
"Colonel!" Sam grabbed her radio.
"Go ahead major."
"All enemy forces have disappeared, sir." Daniel looked confused, as did Sam.
"Say again Major, are you saying they're gone?"
"Yes sir, there was a bright flash of light and the remaining enemy troops vanished."
"Transporter beam." Sam muttered.
Just as she was about to issue some more orders, they all heard what sounded like a meteor falling through the atmosphere. They looked over to see a burning trail of plasma strike the ground in the middle of the battle field, near Bra'tac's Jaffa. They each had to brace themselves and the shockwaves travelled through the floor, Beast Boy was the only one who couldn't stay on his feet.
With a pathetic cry, he ended up sprawled on the floor, Terra quickly helped him to his feet.
"What was that?" Robin asked. The others shrugged.
"I don't know. But I do know that I lost contact with Star a few minutes ago while we were fighting Slade." Raven said worriedly. The other Titans paled.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When Starfire opened her eyes, she felt excruciating pain shoot through her body, it felt like she was on fire, she struggled to remember what happened, then it all came back to her; The fleet arriving in orbit; her part in the battle; and her getting shot.
She was lying on her front in a small creator, several fires burned around her, her skin was smoking, badly burned, she couldn't tell whether it was from being shot, or from re-entry. Probably both.
She heard movement out side the creater; she strained, trying to look up, to see who it was. At first she thought it was Robin or Cyborg, but then she noticed it was one of the Jaffa who was with Bra'tac's team.
He looked young, close to her age. Short black hair, dark brown skin, dressed in light battle armour, holding a staff weapon. He reminded her of Cyborg, and to her, he looked quite handsome.
"Koriand'r! How can you think of such things at such a time!" her mind screamed, but she chose not to listen.
"Are you alright? Don't try to move." He said calmly, putting down his weapon, kneeling next to her and taking her right hand. "You're going to be ok. MASTER BRA'TAC!" he yelled the last two words over his shoulder, Starfire winced, then groaned.
"Who…who are you?" she managed to get out, before she felt herself loosing consciousness.
The Jaffa youth paused for a moment. Then replied calmly, squeezing her hand gently.
"My name is Rel'tar, don't worry, you are going to be alright." He replied calmly, she gave a weak smile, her eyes falling shut, even in her injured state, she looked quiet beautiful to him, he'd noticed her as soon as Bra'tac and his small band of rebels had found the Titans, and, he concluded, he had not been the only one who thought this way, several of his companions had also noticed her and the blonde girl, although they had been entirely discreet about it, he suspected Bra'tac had noticed.
Said Jaffa master arrived a few seconds later, along with two other Jaffa.
"She needs help." Rel'tar said hastily, Bra'tac nodded.
"Her injuries are severe, if we do not get her off this planet soon, she will die." He turned to look back towards the ruins.
"Colonel Carter! Doctor Jackson! Teal'c!"
Within a few moments, SG-1 and the rest of the Titans had arrived, they all froze when the saw the state Starfire was in.
"Star…" Robin gasped.
"No…" Raven echoed his shock.
Cyborg stepped forwards, kneeling to pick her up, Rel'tar gently turned her over, helping him.
"Daniel! Get them back to the gate, dial Earth and tell General O'Neill to have a medical team waiting in the gate room. GO!" Sam yelled, Daniel quickly ushered the Titans, Bra'tac and Rel'tar towards the Stargate. Sam walked back to the temple, assessing the damage to the walls, they were destroyed, the text unreadable, she only hoped Daniel got enough of it.
She also noticed the supports had been damaged during the fight, and the few remaining support beams were about to give way, as she realized this, the supporting columns cracked, dust and tiny fragments of stone falling on her, she began to back away. But she wasn't quick enough.
The stone-work gave, and the remains of the temple came down on Sam's head, everything suddenly seemed like it was going in slow motion, she closed her eyes, waiting to die. She never did. Just as the stone gave way, she felt and rough jolt in her side and she was knocked sideways. The tumbling rocks and stone slammed into the ground, just missing her. Carter blinked, "What the hell just happened?" she thought "And who just saved me?" she got her answer a few seconds later.
"RICHARD!" Sam heard the cry of distress.
It was Robin who had pushed her out of the way, but he hadn't been quick enough to save himself, the cry Sam heard was from a now terrified Raven who was using her powers to furiously dig through the ruins, trying to find him.
"Azar! I know you can hear me! Help him!" Raven's mind screamed, she knew her former guardian could hear her, it was her power she had sensed during the visions, but why didn't she warn her this was going to happen? Raven had no time to dwell on this now, all she cared about was saving her soul-mate, for if he died, the emotional and mental strain on her would be tremendous, she didn't know what would happen, she just knew it would be bad.
Sam was now digging as well, along with Terra and Beast Boy, Cyborg was still holding Starfire, Rel'tar turned to him.
"I'll take her. You help your friends."
Cyborg looked at him quizzically, then reluctantly nodded.
With great care and ease, Starfire was placed in Rel'tar's hands, he and Bra'tac made their way to the gate, in was still active, SG-10 were looking rather agitated.
"How long has the gate been active?" Daniel asked, one of the airmen checked his watch.
"About thirty minutes, Doctor Jackson." Daniel nodded.
"Ok, just eight more minutes." He thought.
"As soon as the gate shuts off, dial Earth." He ordered, the airman nodded.
Back at the ruins, Sam, Beast Boy, Teal'c, Raven, Terra, Cyborg and Bra'tac continued to dig. Raven was growing more and more unsteady, the rocks began to turn a sickening shade of wet crimson as she moved them, then Raven's eyes widened. Shock, fear, and horror overwhelmed her at the sight of her love. His face contorted in pain and covered in a layer of his own blood that dripped down from his face. His entire body just looked... Crushed. His uniform tattered and torn, his arm jutting out at an angle unnatural for human limbs, and his breathing was... Faint...
"Oh man…" Cyborg said in shock, Beast Boy had turned several shades paler than his usual green, his arms around Terra, trying to comfort her shaking, almost white form.
Raven was in an even worst state than Terra or BB, tears streaked down her face, her whole body shaking, she was on the verge of collapse, mentally, physically and emotionally.

In Nevermore, it was chaos: Timid and Love were practically hysterical.
'He can't die! Robin can not die!' Timid screamed. 'I can't believe this is happening!' Love sobbed, then she doubled over in pain. 'The link…I can feel it, it's getting weaker, he's dying…' Happy was crying openly into Bravery's shoulder, for once, not smiling, Knowledge and Wisdom both sat, tears running quietly down their faces, Rage was in the background, staring at the portal, mumbling promises of a bloody and violet death to who ever caused this.
—
"Please Richard, hold on." Raven sobbed quietly, she could already feel the bond between them weaken, eventually, it would break, and she would be left feeling a great emptiness that would never be filled again.
Then the strangest thing happened, she sensed a familiar presence, she looked around her but saw nothing.
"We have to get him out of here!" Cyborg yelled, Sam shook her head no.
"We can't move him like this."
"Raven, can you do anything?" Beast Boy asked shakily. Raven shook her head.
"N-n-no…my powers w-w-wont help him." She stammered.
Again she sensed the presence, stronger this time, then suddenly, there was a bright flash of white light, a very high pitched, but faint humming sound, then his was gone. Just gone.
"What the—?" Cyborg asked, BB, Terra, Sam, Bra'tacand Teal'c stared in open-mouthed shock, but Raven felt strangely calm, she felt that the bond between herself and Robin was still there, weakened, but there, and for the moment, that's all that mattered to her.
"Where the hell did he go?" Terra almost screamed. Sam shook her head. To her, it looked like an Asgard transporter beam, but there was no high pitched chime that usually signifies one. The high pitched, faint but constant humming was familiar to her, she'd heard it about four times before, and she had a vague idea of what had happened, but she was puzzled, if she was right, then what had happened to Robin had happened faster than it should have, and they should have at least seen something more, but they didn't.
Before anyone could say anything, Raven collapsed, she'd passed out from shock.

The Pel'tak of Baal's ship.
Slade stood glaring at Baal.
"Why did you pull me out? I wasn't finished with them." He growled. Baal just snorted.
"We have other places to be, don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your chance to strike you enemies again." Baal said calmly.
"So. Where are we going?" Slade asked, not liking Baal's reaction, but figuring he really didn't have any say in the matter.
"To our next destination." A low, cold, and evil voice answered him. Slade turned round as a figure stepped out of the shadows, and Slade finally saw the source of that evil he had sensed all this time.
"Who are you?" Slade asked, taken aback slightly.
"I am Anubis. The real master here." was his only reply. Anubis turned to Baal and nodded.
——
Orbital view of the planet.
Baal's ship was now surrounded by the remaining ships of the System Lords, and Prometheus. Suddenly, Baal's ship opened a hyper-space window and vanished.
On the bridge of Prometheus, Hammond stared at the space where Baal's ship had just been.
"Where the hell did he go?" Hammond asked, Gant shook her head.
"I have no idea sir." She replied.
Hammond turned to his right to look at another officer. "Try to establish contact with our people on the ground." He ordered, the soldier nodded.
"Channel open Sir."
"SG-1 this is Hammond. Do you copy?" there was a slight pause before…
"General, this is Carter, it's good to hear your voice sir, we've suffered a few injuries down here, one of the kids is in a pretty bad way, and…" she trailed off, not sure weather she should continue.
"Colonel?" Hammond asked.
"We lost Robin…" Sam finished, Hammond raised an eye-brow.
"What do you mean you lost Robin?" he asked, momentarily confused, he raked his brain, trying to remember who Robin was. "The green kid? No." he thought, "The half-metal guy? No." then he remembered.
Carter interrupted his musings.
"I went back to the temple, checking to see if we'd left anything, and part of it collapsed on me. Robin pushed me out of the way, but he got crushed by the rocks, we managed to uncover him, but his injuries were to severe, there was a bright flash of light, and his was gone. Sir, I don't think it was a transporter beam…" she trailed off again.
Just as Hammond was about to respond, Gant spoke up again.
"Ah, sir, the other ships are leaving." It was true, out of the window, Hammond saw the remaining Goa'uld ships breaking orbit and jumping into hyper-space.
"Sir, the gate just shut down, I've ordered Daniel to dial Earth and alert the SGC that we're coming back with wounded." Carter spoke up.
"Very good Colonel, we'll make repairs and head back to Earth, Hammond out."
Just then, Gant spoke up again. "Sir, we're detecting another ship dropping out of hyper-space."
"What now?" Hammond muttered under his breath, he got his answer a few seconds later, a shimmering image appeared in front of him, small body, large head, grey skin, and black almond shaped eyes stared emotionlessly at him, though he thought he saw a tiny trace of a smile within them.
"Greetings General Hammond. I apologize for not arriving sooner. May I be of assistance?" asked Thor, supreme commander of the Asgard fleet.

Orbital view of an uninhabited planet, on the other side of the galaxy.
A ship dropped out of hyper-space, and descended towards the surface. Six mechanical legs extended just before it touched down, giving it the appearance of a spider. The ship was composed of millions of small metallic blocks, and suddenly, small groups of these began breaking away, forming smaller, more menacing creatures that resembled spiders, the loud sound of servo motors and a strange chirping sound came from each one. They were a faint blue in colour. As they spread out, the ship disassembling itself, a human woman seemingly walked out of one of the legs of the ship, she looked around her as her smaller brethren continued to consume the raw materials around them, and making copies of themselves. She then looked up at the night sky, looking at several stars.
"Stand aside Goa'uld. This galaxy belongs to us now." Then she looked back at the ship as it finally dismantled itself, several larger versions of the others were formed, they too set about collecting resources. Then the woman, who was an exact look-a-like to her human counterpart, looked up at the sky again, at a distant star around which she knew a blue planet orbited.
"Prepare yourselves, SG-1."
The others continued to work.
"Make way for the Replicators."
