Thanks to Farzana, my wonderful beta.

Again, still looking for beta work; if you need one, write me.

Sam gave a sigh as she looked up the hallway, the coast was clear and she had a blinding headache.

"Carter, lets go." Col. O'Neill ordered, unaware of Sam's discomfort. Sam kept up but her headache was distracting. They were coming up on thirty six hours in Jack's reality and she was beginning to think that it was going to be less that 48 hours before she couldn't go on.

Jack had gone to the Asguard via the address where Sam and Thor had destroyed the 'O'Neill' and he hadn't returned yet. Since his disappearance sg-1 had found the remaining SGC members and those who hadn't made it.

Makepeace and Hammond were being held for torture, but apparently Daniel was dead, though there was no evidence proving it. His disappearance was suspicious. Tebias had survived the invasion and was making a mess of things. Sam suspected she was one of the causes of her pounding head. Sam also suspected that she wasn't the only one holding off wringing Tebias' neck.

So far, sg-1 had escaped being caught themselves while they freed the prisoners, but the Goa'uld were no fools and it was becoming harder and harder to evade them.


Sam blinked and followed Col. O'Neill as they crept down the hall to the embarkation room, hopefully to find Apophis and kill him before he could make more trouble for them. Jack peered through the doorway and set his eyes on Apophis for the first time since arriving at this world.

"Teal'c?" Jack blinked, it wasn't Apophis at all: it was Teal'c who was leading the attack against earth. Jack backed out of the doorway and ordered a retreat away from the room.

Once they were far enough away, O'Neill filled them in. Sam and Daniel looked pretty surprised, but Teal'c raised an eyebrow, as always, and looked impressed.

"Teal'c isn't even a Goa'uld, and yet..." Daniel mused.

"Do you doubt the T-man?" Jack asked.

"No, I, I, I..."

"He can do whatever he sets his mind to," Jack quipped.

"So what's the plan?" Daniel asked, looking between Teal'c and Jack. "Are we going to wait for Jack, I mean the other Jack, or are we going to do something?"

"If the Asguard come through, we won't need to, but Jack has been gone a while, and it's getting harder to keep you out of the way of the Jaffa." Major Carter stated, un-necessarily. "Sir, in my opinion, I think we need to get moving. I don't know how long it's going to take the Asguard."

"Hey, Thor'll come through!" O'Neill protested.

"Sir, I agree, but the Jaffa are becoming very thorough and we may not be able to stay out of their way long enough."

"I concur, O'Neill, we should prepare a plan in case Colonel O'Neill is not successful." Teal'c advised.

"And we still have a room or two full of survivors not yet evacuated." Nodding, Daniel added his own two cents.


"Ok, then. I guess it won't hurt to be prepared. Let's go."

Sg-1 turned back to their stronghold to think up... something.

Teal'c strutted down the hall toward the embarkation room, another Jaffa's metal uniform gracing his strong body. He carried his staff and tried to look as powerful as he could, which wasn't hard. All Jaffa he met on his little journey all bowed to him and gave him confused looks as they passed. Teal'c felt good having people look up to him and praise him, it was something he wasn't used to, but could become accustomed to it easily.

He entered the room; "Jaffa kree!" All the Jaffa turned toward him at the sound of his familiar voice. Lord Teal'c nearly fell over he was so surprised to see himself, that is Teal'c. "What is this?" Teal'c bellowed toward his counterpart. "Who are you?"

"Who are you, to take such a voice with me?" Lord Teal'c cried angrily waiving his staff in Teal'c direction.

"Arrest this impostor!" Teal'c shouted at the Jaffa. "Take him away immediately."

"No, I am the true Lord Teal'c, it is he who shall be arrested!"

"He is wrong!" This loud banter went on for several minutes until Teal'c lost his patience and charged. He hit Lord Teal'c hard in the chest with an armor clad fist.

"I do not know who you are, but you are no match for me." Teal'c stated steely.


"I am Lord Teal'c, I defeated the false god Apophis and took reign over my planet to save my people from slavery." Lord Teal'c struck back and the two men became involved in a fierce battle. The Jaffa, so baffled they merely stood around them in a circle and watched. No one saw the entrance of the sg-1 and the few who remained well enough to fight; slowly, silently the small group took out as many Jaffa as they could without being seen.

Sam still continued to fight the blinding headache that dominated her thought. She paused behind a Jaffa to rub her eyes, and when she turned back to zat him, she met him face to staff weapon. He reached down and pulled her to her feet and right off them, she dangled above the floor by her neck and could do nothing to save herself.

Jack looked over to see Sam being dragged off by the Jaffa who had not warned the others of her presence. He didn't like the way the Jaffa was looking at her. He motioned to Daniel what he was going to do and gave him instructions to follow, then he crept away in the direction that the Jaffa and Sam went.

"Sam where are you," he asked the air, peering into each door way he passed. Jack came to the end of the hallway when he heard a light thump and a scrambling sound from just around the corner. With his zat pulled and cocked, he crept around the bend to find Sam fighting the lustful Jaffa off. Before Jack could intervene though, Sam whipped out her knife and stabbed the perve in the arm. He yelped and tossed her aside, cursing like a sailor. Getting angrier, he shoved Sam against the concrete wall causing her to bang her head.

Jack would have jumped in if Daniel hadn't come running down the hall followed by the rest of the survivors and the hoards of Jaffa. Oh crap!

I know, I know, this is a terrible place to stop, but I gotta do it somewhere. I've got the next chapter in the works, and should soon be out, and I'm going to answer all unanswered questions in the next chapter too. If you're confused about something, let me know and I'll input it in one of the next parts.

That's it for know,

See ya

Peace
