AN: Well here is the next chapter, I am sorry but its another short one although this one has a little bit more action in it. However, it is slightly bitty as it goes to many different perspectives. Hopefully this story will be finished soon though, I think maybe 2 or 3 chapters until it will be finished. Anyway I hope that you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1.
Chapter 11 – The attack
"Everyone, you have a go for launch," said Hammond as he was in contact with every ship that would be on course for Gran. "Now we have things to do Siler, we need to be ready for when they return back."
"Yes sir," replied Siler and they both hurried off to make arrangements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Thor's ship newly renamed: The Jack and Sam.
"Congratulations O'Neill, Samantha, you will do well together as I have always thought," said Thor to Sam and Jack. Jack, Sam, Vala, Daniel, Cam and Teal'c had decided to ride on Thor's ship so that they could catch up with Thor as they hadn't had time before.
"Thank you Thor," replied Sam before Jack could say something sarcastic.
"You are welcome Samantha," replied Thor. The rest of the trip to Gran was extremely uneventful, although it did give Sam and Jack a chance to have some alone time.

The Jaffa watching from the planet were surprised to see many ships come out of hyperspace. There seemed to be many ships, all different types. One of the Jaffa ran to notify Ba'al.
"My Lord, many ships have just come out of hyperspace, there are Tauri, Jaffa and Asgard ships," said one Jaffa to Ba'al.
"Send some ships to intercept them, everyone be ready for an attack," ordered Ba'al. The Jaffa responded smartly by scrambling the fighters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright everyone, Ba'al is scrambling fighters so be prepared to fight them off the transport ships," ordered Jack "all those transport ships fly towards the planet and deposit your attack personnel. The attacking ships did as they were ordered, ships started to drop off personnel so they could start a ground attack. Thor's ship was one of them, and the old SG1, Cam and Vala were transported to the planet.
As soon as they arrived on the planet Jack O'Neill ordered "begin the attack on the shields, all ground troops surround the fortress, do not proceed inside yet, we do not want anyone to be hit." Everyone acknowledged the orders. The attack on the shields started with a bombardment similar to that of the rescue mission.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Keep those fighters off the main ships, open fire on that ship," ordered Bra'tac on his own ship. He wasn't one of the main transporting ships so he was charged in keeping the fighters from destroying any of the transport and bombardment ships. They destroyed the ship and then moved onto the next one. Soon there were no fighters left for the ships to be threatened by. They then started to help with the bombardment of the shields.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the fortress there was no reprieve for Ba'al, he knew that they would give them no mercy and he knew that if they were in his place then they would expect no mercy. The loss of the fighters was expected as he knew that they would not be able to actually do anything but maybe delay the attack slightly. He had the Jaffa in defence positions but knew that in the end there were probably too many to hold off. He also knew that Anubis had set him up for the fall, he was resigned to it and he would not let himself be captured. He left the control room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bombardment carried on for at least ten minutes before it was obvious that the shields on the fortress had been taken down. As soon as the shield went down Jack gave out more orders. "All ships stop the bombardment, standby please. All ground troops you can go into the fortress, remember the objective is to find and capture Ba'al, try not to kill if you can help it but defend yourselves at all costs, you have a go." All the ground troops proceeded to enter the fortress from different directions, taking down the Jaffa as they went. SG1, Cam and Vala along with SG2 as back up went through the front door. It was a fierce struggle to get through the main entrance with Cam getting hit in the shoulder.
"Cam, you stay here with SG2 and keep the main entrance open, take down any Jaffa that come your way," ordered Jack, Cam replied with a distinct "No, I will be of help if I come, I will not hinder anyone." Jack frowned but let Cam go with them; he knew that he himself wouldn't have stayed behind so he knew that Cam wouldn't either. Daniel of course was very protective of Vala, however, that did not seem to interfere with any of the battle. They proceeded down the hallway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ba'al meanwhile had set himself up in one of the storage rooms, more precisely the storage room that held all the explosives that he could get his hands on. He looked round satisfied that he would go out with a bang and he would be taking some people with him. He could hear a team of the Tauri's getting closer and closer to his position, it was just a matter of the timing of it. The door opened and as soon as it started to open, Ba'al set the bomb to go off.
AN: Well I had to leave it there on a cliffhanger because it was just such a perfect one! I will put you out of your misery soon though and tell you what happened. Also if you are wondering why Ba'al is giving up so easily and that he is not formidable at all in this attack well I kinda just wanted it that way so that the story would go the way I wanted lol! Thank you to all those people who have read and reviewed so far. Plz review as I really do get soooo excited when I see I have one! Thanks.
