Chapter 21
The Last Villain
One day, Jesus came to John. "I want you to take Noelle with you and go into the wormhole." John stared at him in surprised.
"What? Why?" He saw Jesus sighed.
"There has been a Chinese virus that was pandemic and has impacted the whole world. I want to give humans one last chance to repent."
"But, why do you want Noelle to go with me?"
"Both of you need to go and witness for me one last time. You both will need to depend on each other for this."
"Why don't I take Aeryn?" Jesus shook His head again.
"Because, I need to reach the deaf and cerebral palsy people too. You know, she's the right person for the job." John nodded as he could see His point.
"Very well. I'll go and get the ship ready."
"Thank you."
"Hey, Noelle, can we talk?" John signed and voiced. She looked up at him from the table, puzzled.
"I guess." She signed back and followed him out of the dining room.
"Jesus has a mission for us."
"He does?" He nodded. "That is?"
"He wants us to go to the wormhole and warn the people not to release this virus that will become pandemic."
"Just to clarify, we're going back in time?" He nodded and she sighed.
"Why me? Why not Aeryn?"
"I've asked Christ the same question and He told me that because He needs you to reach to the deaf and cerebral palsy community as they will listen to you over Aeryn because you're one of them. We're not."
"What message, am I supposed to give out?"
"Tell people to repent one last time."
"When are we leaving?"
"Give me time to get the ship ready." He left to work on his Farscape module. Noelle went into her room to pack.
John came in a few minutes later. "Are you ready?" He signed and voiced.
"John, what if, we see ourselves on Earth, what do we do?" Noelle signed asking.
"I guess, we just have to convince ourselves to listen to us?" He shrugged. "What's important is we're doing something that Jesus wants us to do. Come." She walked behind John.
"Wait, you better say good-bye to Aeryn." He looked at her puzzled. "You know how much she means to you. I'll meet you at the ship." He nodded.
He found her alone in her room. "How are you?" Aeryn looked up at him.
"Good. How are you?"
"Jesus has a mission for me and Noelle to do. So, we're carrying it out."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Possible."
"Why do you always have to go on dangerous missions?" He laughed.
"You know that flying as always been part of my life. Some people can't live without their love ones and it's the same with me and flying. I can't live without it. I didn't think it would be this dangerous until I found out that there was life in space."
"Are you sorry that you've found out that there's life in space?" He shook his head.
"If I've never found that out, I would have had our son and my daughter. So, in a way, I can't be sorry." He pushed her hair out of her eyes and looked into them. "Are you sorry?" She shook her head.
"No. You've taught me how to give love. I can't be sorry for that." They hugged. "You'll be back, right?" He smiled.
"Don't I always come back?"
"There's one good thing about Noelle going with you."
"And that is?"
"Because she loves you as much as I do, she'll never let anything bad happen to you."
"I'll be back and when I do, we can do something less dangerous."
"I'll be holding to you to that."
"Do. Noelle's waiting for me. I'll see you in a bit." They kissed.
He came to the ship and saw Noelle was on her cellphone. "Sorry about the wait." He signed and voiced as she looked up at him.
"You're wise. You know that dangerous missions don't always have good outcomes. You always treat it, as if, it might be your last." She signed back.
"We take care of each other. Always. Let's go." He helped her into his ship. He began to form a wormhole and began to think of Earth before the virus hit. She couldn't help, but feel that this time, it was going to be different than the others.
They landed in China. He helped her out and they went to the place where the virus was supposed to take place. "Who are you two?" A guard asked in front of the building.
"We need to see someone about the Chinese Virus." The guard looked shocked at what he signed and voiced.
"How could you have known that?"
"I know it might sounds strange, but we're from the future." For some reason, he believed him.
"Go right in on the 3rd floor." He opened the door for them, and they went inside. They saw people working on things in the lab. They had no idea, who to speak to and began to ask about the virus. They found a man in a biohazard suit.
"What do you want?" He asked a little annoyed.
"We were told that you shouldn't be doing this." John signed and voiced.
"Are you a scientist?" John shook his head.
"No, but we're from the future. We're told that, if you release this virus, it will become pandemic." He laughed.
"You're funny. Since, you know nothing about science, why should I listen to you?"
"Because, if you don't, you'll die." Noelle signed as John voiced what she said.
"You both are nuts. This won't get out."
"And, if it does?"
"It won't." They exchanged looks.
"Since, you won't listen to us, we'll go tell the Americans." They left.
Before going to Stargate Command, they made masks out of rubber bands and a bandana. They went to buy gloves. As John was driving to the Command Center, Noelle looked at him. "Do we have time to stop and stargaze?" She signed asking and he looked at her.
"Is that what you want to do?" He asked back signing and she nodded. He found a secluded place to park his car and they stargazed for a while. He had an idea. He went into his car and turned on the radio. As John and Noelle began to dance, he found himself making out with her. She was grateful that he was and was thinking that he was trying to put her mind to ease. It was working.
"Are you scared?" She signed asking and he looked into her eyes.
"No and you shouldn't be either. We've seen Heaven and New Jerusalem, we know that there's a good life after this one. We'll be together again."
"Is that what you want? Or be with Aeryn and forget about me?" He shook his head.
"No matter what, I won't forget about you. You're hard not to." She smiled.
"Promise me, we'll die together?"
"Don't doubt it." He put her on the bottom of the grass and looked into her eyes.
"John, are you sure about this?" He nodded.
"Isn't having sex under the stars something you like?" She smiled.
"How is it that you know me so well?" He smiled.
"Simple, you're easy to know." They made love and slept under the stars and the moon.
The sun woke them up the next morning and they got dressed. They went to a hotel to take a shower together and ate breakfast. "Do you think that they'll believe us?" Noelle asked signing and John sighed.
"I hope so. If they don't, we're screwed." He signed back.
"Maybe you should buy a newspaper, so I can be ready to show proof." John wiped his mouth and nodded.
"Do you remember this?" She gestured a little bit.
"It's been a long time." He nodded.
"I bet. I don't remember this. So, you'll have to take the lead." They stopped at a gas station where he brought a newspaper and she studied it. January 2020. She had an idea of what was coming.
John drove them to the Cheyenne Mountain. Before they went in, they put on the masks and gloves. "Hey Cam, I thought that you were already in with the Stargate SG-1 team?" The guard asked puzzled.
"I had to pick up Noelle and bring her back to the base." He looked at them suspicious.
"Why are you both wearing a mask and gloves?"
"I'm not really Cam Mitchell, but I'm his twin brother, John Crichton. I've some urgent news for the team."
"I never knew that he had a twin brother."
"Why do you think we look alike?" The guard nodded.
"Very well. You can go in."
"Who are you two and why are you both wearing a mask and gloves?" Dr. Daniel Jackson asked curiously, and was puzzled, when he saw John translating what he said in sign language. Then, he looked at her. "I don't believe that we've met. I'm Dr. Daniel Jackson and you are?" She blushed as they shook hands.
"Noelle and this is John. We have a favor to ask." She signed as John voiced for her.
"Why are you voicing for her John?"
"Because Noelle's deaf, and she can't talk very well, so I voice for her."
"You're John?" Cam came to him and he nodded. "Why do you look so much like me?"
"Well, you have two lives. One on Earth and one in space." Cam started laughing.
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do. Anyway, we need your help."
"How do you know about us?" Sam asked and Noelle looked up at her.
"I know that this team has seen and heard many things that others would never believe. I believe that there's a high chance that you'll believe us, when we say that we're from the future." John voiced for her as Sam looked confused.
"Future? We've never met anyone from the future before. Why have you traveled back to here?" They looked down.
"Because there's going to be a virus that will take over the world and not for the better either." The Stargate SG-1 exchanged looks.
"How do you know this?" Daniel asked and they sighed.
"I'm hoping that you would believe me." John voiced for Noelle. "But, Jesus sent us, and He sent us to warn the world. If you don't repent one last time, the Rapture will happen."
"You both have seen Jesus?" Cam asked confused and they nodded.
"We're not from this Earth." John explained. "We're actually from another world called, New Jerusalem, which takes place after God destroyed this Earth and made a new one."
"Let's say we believe you." Samantha spoke up. "What exactly, do you want us to do about it?" They exchanged looks.
"If I remember correctly," Noelle began to sign, "Stock up on toilet paper and anything else you think is necessary."
"So, you've already seen it happen?" Daniel asked curiously and she nodded.
"Is there a cure for this virus?" Teal'c asked.
"It won't come until after people have died and lives have been impacted."
"Okay, where is this virus supposedly supposed to come from?"
"China." John spoke up.
"China?" The Stargate SG-1 asked together and they nodded.
"We need to inform the President, if we can warn the people. Do you have any proof of this?" Samantha asked and Noelle looked up at her.
"I'll tell you, what's happening right now. The Democrats are focusing only on the impeachment. The President will be closing the airports to China and the world will be criticizing him for it. It will take months before they do anything about this virus."
"Does the President get impeached? Cam asked curiously and Noelle shook her head.
"No and Kobe Bryant will die in a plane crash."
"What? No!" She nodded.
Just then, the Stargate SG-1 received an alert message saying that Kobe Bryant and his daughter died in a plane crash. They all turned to stare at John and Noelle. "Okay, we're listening." Mitchell said after he put away his cellphone.
"Alright. Me and John probably have already been exposed to the virus. Now, the virus will impact people differently. Use us as your guinea pigs to find a cure. But, first, me and John need to the public to warn them and to get them to turn to God again." Noelle signed.
"You can use our laptops to record your messages and get the messages out." They began to tell people to repent and warn them of the virus that was coming. At first, the world ridicule them and didn't believe. But, then, people started getting it.
John was the first to show the symptoms. He was placed on a hospital bed with Noelle holding his hand. "I hope you can make it John, Aeryn needs you, your children need you." He looked up at her and touched her face.
"Don't cry or mourn for me. We know that we'll see each other again. If anyone can find a cure for this virus, it's Sam. Keep getting the message out." He took her hand and kissed it.
"Are you sorry that you came?" He shook his head.
"No and don't you be either." He coughed and continued to get worse.
Then, it was her turn. She started coughing and having difficult time breathing. Samantha came in with a notepad and a pen. "Did God and Jesus give you a cure for this virus?" Noelle shook her head and Samantha sighed. "Will this virus end?" She shrugged.
"Dr. Carter, get in here now! We're losing John!" She ran out the door and went to attend John's side. Daniel found himself keeping Noelle company. He found a notepad and a pen.
"How are you feeling?" She shook her head.
"Not good." She wrote.
"You knew you would get it, didn't you?" She nodded. "Is there anything that I can do for you?" She wanted to touch his face, but knew if she did, he would get it.
"You don't remember us, do you?"
"Us?" She nodded. "I just met you a few days ago."
"Why are you here? You could get what I have." He shrugged.
"I don't want to leave you alone."
"But, you shouldn't risk your life for me either." His gloves touched her hair and he smiled.
"Did you see any of us in the future?"
"Would you believe me, if I said I did?" He nodded. "Then, yes I did."
"Where did you see us? Here?" She shook her head and he looked at her puzzled. "Then, where?"
"New Jerusalem. Jesus brought you all to it and you all went on adventures again." He studied her.
"You said there was a, 'us,' what exactly do you mean?"
"No, I want to save the best news for last." Samantha came into the room.
"I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this, but John had passed away from the virus." Noelle looked away and tears came down her face. Daniel looked down. "Tell me, what do I do?"
"If there's anyone that can find a cure for this Dr. Carter, it's you. Don't save me, it's too late. But, you can still save the world." Daniel stayed with her until she took her last breath.
Samantha and Dr. Fraiser kept trying to find a cure and testing them on different people. When the Asgard saw on a map how the virus was impacting the world globally, they beamed all the Stargate SG-1 team on board to their ship. They were surprised to find themselves in a glass room. Thor came out to meet them. "Thor, why are we in here?" He came to the glass.
"We need to make sure that none of you have the virus as we don't want any of you to expose it to us. After we're sure that none of you have it, we'll release you."
Once, they were released, they saw in space, something opening up. "What's that?" Cam asked and they all went to the window. They watched as a light shine brightly. It was so bright, that they had to sit on the floor and cover their eyes. When the bright light was gone, Thor looked at them. "You can look out now, it's gone." They got up and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"What happened? Do you know?" Samantha asked.
"Yes, look at the map of the world." They went to the map and each state showed how many people were missing.
"What exactly does, 'people missing' mean?" Daniel asked and Thor came to close to them.
"As you know the Asgard and the humans do not have the same eyesight. I was able to see that when the bright light came about, there were people with wings and white clothes. They went around the world and seems to be collecting people. They took the people to the bright light. I guess, once they were done, the bright light closed up and the people with wings were gone." The Stargate SG-1 exchanged looks.
"It means, Thor that you just witnessed what 'Christians' have been talking about for a thousands of years. The Rapture."
"The Rapture?" Cam asked surprised as Daniel nodded.
"According to the Bible, Jesus was going to come back for His people and take them out of Earth. I'm guessing this virus was so powerful that He had finally came. But interesting, none of us were taken."
"Odd, when Noelle told you that she saw us in New Jerusalem?"
"Maybe, she was trying to be nice?" Samantha struggled.
"Now what's happening in our planet?" Thor pulled up a video.
"This was made shortly afterwards. Your President has announced that they have a cure for the virus. People have lined up to get it. The cure looks like this." He took a picture of the cure that had the number 666 stamp below on it. The Stargate SG-1's eyes went wide.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Cam asked and Thor looked at him confused.
"Why would you think that this would be some kind of joke?" Cam swallowed.
"Because according to the Bible, the number 666 represents the Beast. That only means one thing." He went to the window. "He's here." The rest of the team looked out the window and swallowed.
"So, Noelle was right. Jesus was giving everyone a last chance to repent before this was going to happen." Cam looked back at his team.
"I've never ever thought of us having to come to terms with the Antichrist being on Earth. I think that this is someone that not even we can beat. I don't think any of can beat the Antichrist. He has powers that we don't." Daniel looked down and sighed.
"Do we even want to beat him? We haven't even met him yet. What if, he's not as evil as they say he is?" Cam nodded.
"You better hope that you're right because if you're not, we're definitely screwed."
"Thor, why not you beamed us down?" Daniel asked him as he looked at him.
"Of course." He beamed them to the Cheyenne Mountain.
When they arrived to the briefing room, the General was there to meet them. "I thought that you guys have left for good." Daniel smiled.
"It seems that we're not that special to be taken away. What's happening?"
"According to our reports, there's a man who sat in church and announced that he is god."
"He's not god, he's the Antichrist." Cam spoke up and the General looked at him.
"You're saying that we're actually living in the last days?"
"According to Thor, he said that he saw the Angels taking humans out and taking them to this bright light. I'm assuming that we've have just witnessed the Rapture."
"Thor saw that? No one was able to look at the light without being blinded."
"Well, like Thor pointed out," Daniel said, "The Asgard and the human's eyes are different. They can see pass the bright light."
"Interesting, I've never knew that fact about them. So, if he's the Antichrist, what are we supposed to do about it?"
Just then, a man who was claiming to be god showed up. "Ah, the famous Stargate SG-1 that I've been hearing so much about. We haven't been proper introduced. My name's Pilate Judas Sinner. Tell me, who are our allies in space?"
"Why?" Cam asked suspicious.
"Because whatever treaty they had with the old President, I have a new treaty for them."
"Which is?" Daniel asked curiously and Pilate smiled.
"Anything that they desire, I'll give. The only 2 things I ask for is peace and to have them accept the 666."
"And if they refuse?" Teal'c asked.
"If they refuse, our treaty will be off, and we'll be forced to make war with them."
"You can't do this." Daniel told him.
"Oh, but I can. I'm the new President and soon, to be the world's leader. All will be made to bow down and worship me. If you have a problem with that my dear, Dr. Jackson, you can be replaced or fired. Take your pick." Pilate smiled up at him and touched his face to which Daniel grimaced.
"Don't touch me!"
"Now, you either do it or I'll do it for you." They all looked at General Collins.
"He can't do this, can he?" Samantha asked and Collins looked down.
"I apologize, but he's in power. Think of what he can do, if we refuse."
"How long will it take for you to reach the worlds?"
"Considering that there are many different planets out there?" Cam asked and Pilate looked at him unimpressed. "It could take days!"
"Well, consider it to be your only mission for now. Now, I have the Trust in position to watch this team. They will tell me, if you have carried out your mission or not. Have a good day." He left and the Stargate SG-1 took a seat in disbelief.
"Can you believe that guy?" Daniel asked. "Do we really not have a choice, General?" Collins sighed and looked at his team.
"Like I said, he has powers that we can't match. If it's true that he has spies watching us, we can't afford to disobey his orders."
"What do you think will happen, if we do disobey?" Teal'c asked curiously.
"What do you think? We can all be replaced with people that will actually do it. So, you have no choice. You must carry them out. Start going to the planets that you're familiar with and work your way there." They started protesting, but General Collins had them dismissed.
"I never thought that we would be doing this kind of work. Religions weren't supposed to be real." Daniel told the team as they were getting ready to go off world.
"I know, but we're living in a very different time. When have we ever seen a virus have that kind of impact? Who knew that the Christian religion would turn out to be the true religion. We should just be happy that we were not forced to accept the mark." Cam told them.
"The keyword? Yet. We haven't been asked, yet." Daniel told him and he nodded.
"This might impact Stargate SG-1. We need to make a decision to accept the mark or not and our decisions could be life changing."
"What's wrong with accepting the mark?" Daniel asked curiously.
"In the Bible, the bad guys lose and the good wins. The 666 isn't with the good guys, but with the bad." Daniel raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Did the Bible mentioned how long that Pilate would rule?"
"Not long, but I can promise you, it will feel long. So, where are we going first?"
"I thought that we should go to Teal'c home planet first, Dakara."
"Why?" Teal'c asked curiously.
"You, they might listen to." Cam told him.
"What do you expect me to say?"
"Well, you could say the truth. The bad man arrived on the scene and wants you to prove your loyalty or die." Cam gave a smirky smile.
"Why do we always attract people that think that they are gods?" Daniel asked.
"I guess because we're the good guys."
They arrived to Dakara and the Jaffa were confused to why they were there. "Teal'c, what brings you home so soon?" Ankh asked and Teal'c gave him a friendly smile. "Well, like Cam Mitchell had instructed me to say, the bad man has arrived on the scene and wants you to prove your loyalty to him or you can pick your death."
"What bad man?" Teal'c looked at Cam.
"Perhaps you can explain it better than I can as you know the Christian culture better than I do." Cam nodded and came near Ankh.
"There's a book on Earth called the Bible. It's a very old book that both the Jews and the Christians live by. Anyway, in the book it talks about the 'end of days,' which is the Antichrist arrives on the scene and forces everyone to accept 666 or face his wrath."
"We have encountered many gods, what makes you so sure that this one is, in fact, a true god?" Mitchell shook his head.
"He's not a god. He's the opposite. He's what some people would call, the Devil's own son."
"Who is the Devil?"
"Well, the Devil is the one who is for evil and God is the one who is for good."
"Do you believe that he would carry out his threat, if we don't accept the mark?" Cam looked at his team, who looked back at him.
"Well, that's up for debate. The Antichrist is almost as famous as Jesus Christ is. I hate to confess this, but the Bible has been right. The Rapture has occurred. We have spoken to two witnesses that claimed to have seen the future and have been to New Jerusalem. So, would I dismiss this? I don't think you should." Ankh stared at him.
"Are you telling me that there's no way we can defend him?" Cam looked down.
"The Bible has never told us how to exactly defend him. It only states that Christ will be the one to take him down. Not any human."
"Well, considering that the Jaffa is not like your people, perhaps, we stand a chance?" Mitchell had to admit that was a good point.
"Are you willing to take that chance?"
"Just tell me one thing. You say that this man will punish us shall we refuse his mark, right?" Cam nodded. "Did the Bible specifically mention any punishments that we could face?" He nodded again.
"Yes, we can face being in prison, being in jail or killed."
"So, in other words, he would take prisoners. Is your world accepting to this man?"
"Unfortunately, there are more people that worship him and accept him now than there are that don't. According to the Bible, he's the prince of the Earth. Earth is his home."
"But, now he's after us?" Cam shrugged.
"Every 'god' wants to be worshipped and adored. How is this one so different?"
"I'll speak to the counsel and we would do a vote to see, if this one is worth fighting for. Do you think we really stand a chance of winning?"
"That's not the right question to ask."
"Then, what is?"
"If you shall lose, are you prepared to pay the price?" Ankh swallowed and nodded.
"You speak well, Cam Mitchell. I'll tell the counsel that. Teal'c would you vote with us."
"I would be honored." He bowed to the Stargate SG-1 team and left.
"Cam, you brought up an interesting question." Sam told him and he looked at her.
"Which?"
"If we're prepared to pay the price, shall we lose. Are you prepared?" Cam looked down and was quiet for a few minutes.
"If you asked me a few days ago, I would have said, 'yes,' in a heartbeat. But now, knowing the book of Revelation is happening before our own eyes, my answer is different. Jail, I can handle. We can't beat him, Sam. If we die, would it make a difference?" He looked at her and she looked down.
"We have went on many dangerous challenges and we've never talked about, if dying was actually worth it. To think, it had to take the book of Revelation to force us to ask that question." She stood up and put her hands into her pockets. "But, we're all going to die sometime. We might as well die for what we believe in than what we don't." He nodded.
"You do know that this might be our last adventure?" He asked and looked at her. She swallowed and looked down.
"Well, it was never meant to last forever." He nodded.
"Daniel, you're quiet. What's your thoughts about this?" Daniel looked up at him.
"We have faced many different gods as Sam pointed out. But, we have never been in real danger. You're speaking, as if, there's really a chance we can lose this time. What would be so wrong with accepting the 666?"
"Well, according to some, 666 brings out the worse in you. According to the Bible, if my memory serves, those that accept the mark will be eaten by birds. They won't survive the end."
"So, you're telling me that, it doesn't matter, if we accept the mark or not. We're still going to die?" Cam looked down.
"If this man turns out to be nothing, we're going to get drunk, when this is over."
"And if, he turns out to be the real deal?" Daniel challenged as Cam looked at him.
"Then there's no other way to put it, we're fucked." Daniel nodded and looked at Sam.
"Well, I'm going to believe in what Noelle did." Cam and Sam looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"She believed that there was a New Jerusalem and she believed that we were there. Then, I choose to have hope that, even if, we die, we'll still have a happy ending." Cam nodded and stood up.
"I'm with Daniel. I'll choose to believe there's a happy ending as well. So, if we die, we die."
"Let's go down as a team and let's go down fighting."
"Now, I know how it felt on the Titanic." Daniel said as Sam and Cam looked at him. "With the violins playing as the ship was going down. This time, it's us that are going down."
"Remember, focus on the happy ending and not on the present. Hard to do, I know. But, we're in this together and that's all that matters."
Teal'c came back and joined the rest. "They have voted to fight. I get why, we have overcame the Ori and they figured that we can overcome this as well."
"Well, we as humans on Earth have decided to go on fighting as well." Daniel told him and he raised his eyebrow.
"So, we're going to treat it, as if, this is just another mission?" They nodded. "Very well. What is the next planet on our list?"
"Let's go visit the Atlantis." Daniel suggested.
"What brings you here today?" Dr. Elizabeth Weir asked, when she saw them.
"We are warning different planets that there's a bad man on the scene. He is demanding your loyalty, or he'll kill you."
"Wonderful another villain for the good guys. Is he a threat?"
"The Bible talks about him forcing people to accept his mark and chip. They warned that those that didn't, will be either killed or prisoned." Daniel said with a smirky smile. "Don't you love it when the villain threats people and thinks, somehow, that it's going to make us automatically give in." He rolled his eyes.
"Well, they wouldn't be villains, if not for their famous threats." Dr. Weir reminded him. "Does he know how the Stargate works?"
"If he doesn't, it's only a matter of time until he does." Cam spoke up. "And when he does, it's best that you have a plan in place should you choose to fight."
"But we're not fighters. We're just explorers that like to study."
"We get that." Daniel said. "But, it's him that don't. If you reject his mark and chip, it won't matter to him who you are. He will carry out his threats." The doctor sighed and looked down.
"This chip and this mark, what will it exactly do to us or what's it for exactly?"
"According to the Bible," Cam explained. "The chip and mark supposedly changes your soul for the worse. If he successfully rules this planet, no one will be able to buy or sell anything. You'll be living as an outcast, while his followers will have the best things." She looked at him surprised.
"I have never heard of such a thing."
"You're not from our world, where we have thousands of different religions to choose from. However, the Antichrist is in almost all of the different religions, at least, his daddy is."
"Who is his daddy?" Cam looked at her and grinned.
"The Devil."
"So, this Devil, what is he?"
"He's evil. He loves and supports bad and evil things." Cam gave her a smirky smile.
"Does he also have powers?" He nodded.
"According to the Bible, some witches and Satanists, they would say that he does."
"What is Stargate SG-1 prepared to do?" The team exchanged looks.
"We're wanting to fight. We lived to battle the bad guys, if we go down, we're going down doing what we love." She nodded.
"I will talk to my people and have them make a decision. But, your decision sounds like a good one."
"Just hope that you have a decision made, if he should come. We have other planets to go and warn. Have a good day." Cam tapped his cap and they left.
The last planet they decided to go to was Gaia. The Nox were surprised to see the Stargate SG-1 team. "We thought that we would never see you again."
"Well, we felt it would be best to leave you alone for a while."
"Come, we can eat, while you explain why you're here." They followed him to a picnic table where food and drinks were. "So, why are you here?" Ohper asked after they have all sat and began to eat.
"There's possibility that a bad man will come here and force you to make a decision." Cam spoke up.
"There will always be bad men that will force everyone else to make a decision. What makes this one so different?" Daniel sighed and looked at them.
"Back on our world, we had a wonderful orator named Hitler. His speeches were so good that he got an army to follow him. As a result, over 6 million people were killed." They looked at him surprised. "This bad man that could come is almost similar. He'll show up making wonderful speeches. The only difference between him and Hitler is that he'll offer you anything that you can dream of, as an exchange."
"But, we have everything that we need, there's nothing that we desire that we don't have. What will he threaten to do to us shall we refuse?" Lya asked.
"He will either have you killed or prisoned."
"We've never been afraid of anyone. We're not going to start now." Ohper said and Cam nodded.
"That's how we feel too. We've decided to go down fighting him. We started fighting with the bad men, it's only fitting that we continue the fight. No matter the cost." Ohper nodded.
"Are you asking for our help?" They exchanged looks and smiled.
"Don't you think it would be best, if you remain hidden? If he doesn't know you exist, he might not come after you." Sam said and the Nox exchanged looks.
"Does he know the stargate address to here?" The team looked down.
"If he doesn't, he will." Cam answered.
"You speak with such confidence. So, this is a really a bad man that you feel is a real threat?" Ohper looked at Teal'c. "We've heard your people have defeated the Ori. How could you have confidence that this man is someone that you can't overcome?" Teal'c looked up and smiled.
"My people are already prepared to fight back as well. The Antichrist is not part of our world, but in the humans'. When they decided to travel to different worlds, they had no idea that they would get us involved in their fights. I can't blame them. Everyone is curious about things in life. They were curious about life in space. Outer space is beautiful, and it should be explored. I've encountered many humans in my life, and I'll be honest. I've never seen such a fear over one man in my time on Earth. However," he looked at Daniel. "I can see it from his perspective why they are scared. They have already witnessed a man like this before and know what he's capable of. They know what could be coming and are not looking forward to it. I think I've also remember researching the Holocaust that happened. It was truly a horrible event. Unfortunately," he looked down. "History does tend to repeat itself. Had the Stargate SG-1 team have not encounter a human like this before, perhaps, they would be less afraid." The Nox nodded.
"You seem to understand their people and their world better than us. Having witness this event, do you think that it's worth it to be afraid?" Teal'c sighed.
"Yes. To have one man be able to brainwash a thousands of other humans, it's indeed frightening."
"But, you're not afraid?"
"I'm not like them, I didn't witness it. I didn't grow up hearing about it, so how can I be afraid?"
"That's is how we feel. But, we also can understand your fear. Use this to your advantage."
"How?" Sam asked curiously.
"You say that you have encountered a man like this one before, you had all that time to think of how to prevent it and how to make the situation better. Use that knowledge. Don't have it go to a waste."
"Yes, that's what they taught us in schools." Cam said as he had one hand on his face. "That's why we studied the Holocaust all over the world to make sure that it didn't happen again."
"That's wise, but did they teach you how to avoid it? How to prevent it? Those are the important questions. What would you have wanted to be done differently?" The team exchanged looks.
"I wish you were there to teach us these things before it became too late." Sam said as she looked down.
"Yes, it's sad that it had to take this situation for you to come to us for wisdom. But, it's not too late. Instead of using this time to warn us and other planets, you need to go back to yours and prepare them. Get them ready for what's coming. Hopefully, they'll listen to you." The Stargate SG-1 stood up.
"Thank you for your time and wisdom. I hope that you'll make it." Cam said as he shook Ohpher's hand.
"Remember, don't worry about us. We know that bad men exist and we're ready for them." Sam gave them a smile.
"Good luck." They left to go back to the Stargate Command.
"So, have you warned other planets about the Antichrist's offer?" The General asked them.
"Sir, we want to do something." Daniel spoke up.
"And that is?"
"We want to testify to the world what we do and what we're prepared to do."
"Testify what?" He asked puzzled.
"How to prevent what's coming and how to be prepared for it."
"You think that the world can handle this?" He asked appalled.
"If they can handle knowing the Antichrist is in the world, they can surely handle us."
