CITY OF CELESTIS
The Doci was in meditation when he was awakened by the Flames of Enlightenment.
Awaken, Doci, Awaken. We have a disturbance. Awaken.
"Hallowed are the Ori. What is your bidding Ori?"
The Dakara has awakened before her time. She is on a path to our destruction.
"Yes, Ori, what is your bidding?
We must stop her at all cost. Dakara must not be allowed to enter our city. She must be stopped. Summon all those who are loyal to the Ori. Stop her from our destruction.
"Yes Ori, it will be done.
Doci summoned all the Priors on Celestis. Their plan to destroy the lost Ancients had backfired. They had to stop the Dakara at all cost; their existence in the galaxy was in jeopardy.
"Priors we have a common enemy. The Dakara was one of us; she is on a course to our destruction. Summon all loyal to the Ori, summon all ship in our Armada and thru out the galaxy. Dakara must be stopped. Your sacrifice will be your final path to enlightenment. Destroy all who threaten the Ori. Hallowed are the Ori."
"Hallowed are the Ori."
ORI SHIP
The Ori ship was headed towards the city of Celestis with determination. Vala the Prior was steadfast on her mission to destroy the Ori. Vala had knowledge of the Ancients of Terra. Terra was nearly wiped from existence by a mysterious plague; she had memories of their people dying horribly,in constant pain; their bitter enemies the Ori wanting to destroy them because of their beliefs. Those that were left behind, they had to hide what was left of their civilization. They would have their retribution. They have found them, they will die.
Daniel was restless; his teammates had already fallen asleep. He had to see Vala; As much as he wanted to see the Ori destroyed, the destruction of the entire galaxy may mean the end of his world, his friends and Vala. He had to reach Vala; he had seen her die, just like Share'. This was worse, Vala was being used again he thought; this time by the Ori as their Superweapon. He was sure they would not survive this time. Vala was on a suicide mission to destroy the Universe and she was taking them all with her.
This was madness, he had to get through to Vala, and he cared very, very much about her. Adria had done this to her, he had to admit it, that they may need Adria's help. That sent shivers down Daniels spine. Adria was hell bent on destroying SG1, earth and him. But she had turned her own mother into a Prior to exact punishment on her friends. He had to convince Vala this was pure madness, he had to save her, and he had to try.
Vala Prior was meditating in the command center. Other images were strangely running through her mind. She remembered running, falling, she had to find SG1; their faces were burned in her memory, why must she find them? She remembered, pain, pain, loss, abandonment; torture, torn from a safe existence. Her mind turned back to her mission; Retribution, retribution for Terra, for Terra.
Daniel arrived at the command center. He needed to speak to Vala; he had to get through the Prior.
"Vala; I mean Prior."
"Yes, child of Anqueetas?
"I need to know if you remember anything past Terra?
"I do not understand what you speak of child of Anqueetas?
"Do you remember anything about us, SG1, me, Sam, Col Mitchell or Teal'c?
"I was sent to destroy you, all of you, that was my mission, that's what I remember."
"No, what do you remember, before you became the Superweapon? Before becoming a Prior?
Vala hesitated, she was trying to remember.
"What do you mean child of Anqueetas? You talk in endless riddles."
"I mean do you remember who 'You are?
Vala said nothing.
"I'll tell you who you are, you were not Dakara yet, you are Vala Mol Doran, you are still a member of SG1, you were once taken over by a Gou'ald name Qetesh, she was a symbiote; it was removed by the Tok'ra and died. The Tok'ra saved you from being stoned to death by your own village, you survived and became a thief, and then you came to us. You were transported along with me to the city of Celestis by a Ancient communication device and possessed the body of one of the residents of the city. You were judged to be a non-believer and burned to death; you were resurrected by a Prior of Celestis. You have been thru terrible things in your life, but you became a member of our team, you were; are our trusted friend. We care about you, I—I care about you very much. We saw you recently die on the planet Gendi, the Priors soldiers took you from us Vala, they took your life; but they didn't take your soul Vala, they didn't take your soul."
Vala stood saying nothing. She wanted to remember, she wanted to remember this mans face, she could only feel pain, the pain of losing something, she didn't know what. She starred at Daniel a few minutes and then reverted back to being Prior Vala. She was Dakara and nothing in this Universe would stop her from destroying the Ori.
