Season 3 Episode 2:

(After a month being trapped, Conrad decides to fight the war against the Ori, but he goes undercover as a gladiator to infiltrate the Ori armies.).

Sam was walking in the park with a stroller, a sleeping baby inside. While she was walking her husband was next to her. "So, how's work?" he asked. Sam shrugged. "Well, our visitor is still pissed about being separated from his people.". The husband looked at his wife. "Can you blame him?". Sam shook her head. "Not at all. I am kind of sorry for him.". The husband then said another thing. "Mind if I meet him?". Sam chuckled. "I get the feeling you do in his reality.".

Conrad was going through the books and other artefacts found on Tero, a link that could help him get home. As he was holding the one textbook and writing on a board of glass. He was looking for hidden messages. A knock on his door pulled him out of his trance. Sighing he gave permission to enter. It was Sam. "Hey, am I disturbing.". Conrad shook his head. "No. I am just uhmm." He trailed off when he looked at the picture of him and his Sam at the lake on their first picnic. He wore his red shirt and regular denim jeans and sneakers.

This Sam saw the picture. "You two look happy.". Conrad nodded. "Yeah.". Sam then pulled out a picture too. "This, is, my family.". Conrad saw the picture and his face lit up. "You're married to Jack?" he asked. Sam nodded. "Three years.". Conrad then noticed the kid. "Kids?". Sam nodded. "Our three month old daughter. Janet.". Conrad was hell confused. "Janet?" he asked. Sam sighed. "Janet Fraiser died a few years ago.". Conrad just kept quiet.

Conrad then continued with his work at hand. But atleast after five minutes he then stopped. "I got something.".

Conrad was now explaining his plan. "The Ori have a thing for soldiers right? One of the ways of recruitment is through apprenticeship. Gladiators fight in the arena until only one victor is left. If we can send someone in, undercover, we might get an advantage over the Ori.".

Mitchell sighed. "We can't, the whole Ori knows who we are.". Conrad smirked. "But not me.". Daniel and Teel'c understood the plan. "You plan on participating in this arena to gain information about the Ori." Stated Teel'c. Conrad nodded. "Yes. My plan exactly. But, to do so, I need a cover, so I made a fake ID file.".

Name: Maximus. Clan: Romania. Rank: Warrior. Weapon of choice: Swords.

Landry liked it so Conrad guessed it was fine. Sam pointed something else out. "Do you have a perfect back story?". Conrad nodded. "The planet I come from was under Goa'uld domain, the Ori freed it and we follow the path to enlightenment.". Mitchell thought it could work.

The gate address was placed in and the team was ready to leave. Conrad walked in in his armour. While the team was disguised to be peasants, Conrad was dressed as a Gladiator. Basic information of his armour. His tunic was armoured. He had a shoulder pad on his right shoulder, wrist guard on his left, he was wearing Jaffa boots, he wears a basic roman trousers and had a sword and a dagger as his weapon's inventory. Vala then decided to make a dirty joke. "I wouldn't mind to get some of that.". Conrad looked at her and just cracked his knuckles. "I don't think so.".

As they walked through they were definitely on the right planet. As they walked they saw the signups. Conrad told everyone to get into position. He approached the stand and stood there. "I would like to signup for the tournament.". The guy then took a form out. "State your name please.". Conrad did. "Maximus from Romania. Third son of Novus Prime.". The sign up guy looked at him. "Your father is a legend. Let's see if you are as good as the old man. And sorry for his death, he was a great man.". Conrad, staying in character nodded.

He was now inside the arena. A man then came down to the other fighters. "I am Tomin. If you win this tournament, you will become my apprentice. Hallowed are the Ori.". Everyone repeated. "Hallowed are the Ori.". Conrad kept quiet. Preparing he heard someone speaking through his comlink. "You good?" it was Mitchell. Conrad spoke through. "I requested radio silence.". He wasn't comfortable with this SG-1 team at all! He was more focused on his friends back home, he has to do this, he plans on completing this mission and get his stuff back and work on that Hell forsaken device and get his ass home to his Sam.

When he was ready, the gladiators were then taken to the arena. Crowds cheering, Conrad realized then how fucked up the Ori were, training as a form of entertainment? He found practicing rugby as a kid to be fun, he was no good, but it took his mind off of things.

The warriors stopped, a prior stood on a balcony with a throne by his side, and was announcing something. "I read this piece, out of the book of origin! Those who hide behind a mask, are not truthful of their behalves, those who embrace enlightenment are those who see, through both eyes.".

Conrad didn't get the message, but he really didn't want to. The prior spoke again. "Spectating with us, our noble leader, the Orici!". The crowds cheered and the warriors knelt. Conrad followed their example to keep his cover.

SG-1 was amongst the crowd watching. Mitchell spoke up. "Well, we're fucked.". Vala shook her head from under her hood. "I don't think so, Adria won't harm me, and neither those who I say.". Sam was more relaxed when she heard that. "Good, I plan on tucking my daughter in tonight anyway.". Daniel then decided to strike up a conversation. "How is Jack and Janet doing?". Sam spoke. "Jack is still getting over the fact that working for the pentagon is shit. Janet is just, Janet.".

Adria made her speech. "Warriors, you are those brave enough to find the forces of evil, I am grateful for that, those who succeed, will joined the ranks of our great army-" as she was speaking, Mitchell made another one of his comments. "Quite a mouthful for a woman.".

"And today, the champion will earn apprenticeship, by my greatest warrior, Tomin. Husband to my mother, who will be rescued from the hands of evil soon!". The gladiators raised their fists to approve. Conrad did the same. Adria spoke again. "Begin!".

There were twelve gladiators, fighting in pairs of two. This was the hard part for Conrad, he can't use his powers here, sense he isn't from this reality, he found that his powers are getting out of control, which is weird. The first one attacked him. He dodged the attack and used his sword, the blades clattering and metal skinning on each other was a sound of deafening. Conrad was focused, determined. The opponent attacked him from above, he slid sideways and elbowed the guy in the side. Knocking him out cold.

Everyone cheered. Conrad was looking at the Orici, she was quiet. Conrad stood tall. He will win, and he will, get home.

The next opponent fought with an axe. An AXE! Blocking its attacks was hard enough, it was landing a blow that was impossible, this guy was good, and he didn't like it. But as he swung the axe to cut Conrad's head off, Conrad ducked and uppercuts the guy in the groin. The guy falls over and he is OUT.

And so on and so forth it went until only two people were left. Conrad's opponent was a black bold male, the one side of his face was covered with tattoos. Conrad bowed to show respect, but the opponent just pulled a BIG ASS FUCKING SWORD out. They stood ready.

The man charged at him. Conrad did the same, but he then slit on his knees underneath the guy and threw his dagger at him. The sword flew out of his hand and dropped on the floor. The crowd cheered. The Orici rose and clapped her hands as well. "Excellent work, Maximus from Romania. You have proven to be a skilled warrior.". Conrad bowed his head.

Tomin looked upon his new apprentice. There was something about him, that he just didn't trust.
