Sam watched as Ra gloated over this weapon. Now she and Jack knew what Whitted was up to. He was going to blackmail the President and take over and probably blackmail and extort anything he wanted from any culture and planet and use the Stargate as his platform to terrorize the galaxy. Sam couldn't believe the pure magnitude of power this weapon omitted. They had come up against powerful alien technology before, but never with this intensity.

Ra moved over to Sam and grabbed her face. "Now O'Neill, what do you have to offer me for Col Carter's life?

Jack had to stall for time until Teal'c and Daniel could find them. He had to keep Ra off balanced. He could see Sam knew it too.

"We can negotiate to have Quetesh back." Stated Jack, with Sam looking surprised at his answer.

"Why should I believe you O'Neill? Questioned RA.

"I'm sure Quetesh is quite taken with her host, not to mention she has the Naquadah in her body to produce more of your little family."

"Sir, you can't. Vala is no slave to anyone. You can't let……………………. Ra slapped Sam across the face before she could finish.

Jack was physically angry for Ra hurting Sam, but he had to keep Sam safe, and his alternate goal was to stall for time. Ra definitely wanted Quetesh back and now that he had his ship, they could play with Vala all they wanted.

"I could easily take Quetesh from you O'Neill; I don't really need your permission. I have the means to make them give her to me and I have you and Col Carter as my prisoners."

Jack knew he was right. He was running out of cards to play. He had one more though.

"One; they would rather destroy their ship than give up their own prized prisoner, two; I would be more valuable to you as host. Think about it, Whitted isn't exactly a woman's man, and his body is out of shape. Do you honestly want to stay in his body for all eternity? Take me instead and I can easily have Vala transferred and you can let Col Carter go."

"No, Sir, you can't." Sam knew Jack had a plan, but being host to Ra, was not something she expected. Sam was looking around secretly to see if Teal'c and Daniel would come rushing in to save them.

Ra had to seriously contemplate what O'Neill was offering. Ra had to look at Whitted's body and O'Neill, who had a warrior physique, strong and intelligent. And he was the leader of this massive force in space. Ra looked at his options and decided almost immediately.

"I accept O'Neill. I tire of this Tau'ri. He is most disgusting and I had no other choice. What this creature offered me is now unacceptable. I have control once more and do not need him. Untie O'Neill and prepare him for my transfer. You may kill this other creature, Whitted."

"No, no, Sir. You can't. You don't know what you're saying. Take me; take me instead as your Queen. Let him go, let him go." Sam pleas fell on deaf ears. The untied Jack and placed him on the floor, holding him down. Jack didn't even struggle. He had hoped that Daniel and Teal'c were on their way and give him enough time to save Sam. He knew once Ra entered his body as host, he may not have control, but at least Sam would be alive.

"What about Col Carter? I want her released. Only I can convince them to release Quetesh unharmed, or you'll never see your Queen again." Said Jack.

"Once my Queen has been released, then I will let Col Carter go, not before. At this point, you have no choice O'Neill. Prepare him now."

Akar relished in his Lord about to take over the galaxy and even more so, taking over a new host. Akar and his men held Jack down as he tried to struggle free, knowing that Sam was still in trouble. Whitted walked over laid down beside Jack. Sam was screaming to stop what was about to happen. She feared that if Ra takes Jack as host, then he will use General O'Neill's knowledge about SGC and all military factions on earth. Jack had so much Intel that his security clearance was off the charts. Not only that, she surmised that once Ra had Vala back, he would kill them anyway. He had this new weapon, and there was nothing to stop him. It seemed like everything went into slow motion. Jack could hear that eerie noise that the Gou'ald snake makes, just before they enter a host. He struggled hard, but saw the snake emerge from Whitted's neck. It crawled onto Jacks chest if taunting him, before he entered his body. Akar couldn't help smile at what was about to happen. He knew that he would become Ra's, new Prime and in control of his new army once the Tau'ri were taken over. Ra could see the fear in Jack's eyes and wanted to savor the moment. But he knew this was not the time yet. He slithered off Jack's chest and embedded himself into Jack's neck, entering his body for control. Jack squirmed and coughed, feeling like his back was on fire. He could feel Ra taking over and tried to fight his control. Jack closed his eyes tightly, trying to think on why he had agreed to this in the first place. Then all too briefly his memory of what was going on left him. Jack's body stiffened and he convulsed for a few minutes. His body went limp and Akar and his men let go. Jack opened his eyes and the glowed that horrible red glow that Sam knew was Ra.

Ra stood up and looked at his new host. He turned and smiled an evil smile at Sam. He looked down at Whitted's body and saw it shaking. When the body stopped, Whitted opened his eyes. He looked around to see he was not where he should be. The first thing he saw was Col Carter tied to a post. He slowly moved to stand up and felt ill and threw up. He was breathing hard and trying to regain his balance. He finally looked around to see General O'Neill standing and smiling at him with glowing eyes.

"No, No. What's happened? I…….I'm no longer a host. RA?………….RA?…………. Where………What's going on?

A/N: I know, I know. It's a little short, but I have two - 3 more chapters I need to re construct. More is coming. Feedback and reviews are welcomed.
