Host of Apophis
by Layton Colt
Daniel's been reunited with Sha'ure, but things haven't gone exactly as planned
Sam didn't know how long she had been running but the pounding feet behind her told her she couldn't stop.
Her diversion had worked… almost too well…
The Jaffa had all begun firing apparently not interested in taking prisoners, or figuring if they killed her they could just use the sarcophagus.
In any case she wasn't sure how much longer she could keep going at this pace, she was weaving through the trees trying to lose them put they had the home advantage, they knew the terrain.
Risking a glance over her shoulder she didn't see anyone behind her. Stopping confused she realized the pounding she'd mistaken for footsteps could very well be in her head. Placing her palms on her thighs to try and get her strength back she heard a twig break.
Lifting her gun she aimed it in the direction of the noise, she almost laughed with relief when Jack, and Teal'c appeared in her line of sight, Daniel unconscious in Teal'c's arms.
"Sir," she said with relief. "How did it go,"
Jack winced at that, "Well, I had to make a deal with the devil but we're getting out of here. Come on, Carter… let's get to the gate."
"I'll dial us out," Carter said as they reached the gate but Jack gently grabbed her arm.
"No, I'll do it,"
Sam gave him a bemused look but nodded, her confusion growing as she saw the glyphs he was pushing, "Sir, that's the address for Cimmera!" she cried.
Jack shot her a irritated look over his shoulder, "Yes, I know."
"Why aren't you dialing earth?"
"The deal I made," Jack told her as the last chevron locked. "She's watching us, if I dial Earth she'll have us all killed before we reach the gate."
"She? Who?" Sam asked.
"Amonet,"
"Yes," Teal'c added, the now sedated Daniel still in his arms. "She has decided that she wishes to take Apophis's place. In order to assure his demise she is allowing us to go to Cimmera. Once we exit the wormhole there will be no way for Apophis to escape."
Sam gasped in horror, "But what will happen to Daniel? What if Apophis decides to stay in the maze?"
"This is our only chance, Carter," Jack said. "Lets go," looking back before following his teammates through Jack could feel Amonet watching him.

Jack, Sam and Teal'c stood helplessly as the orange beam transported their unconscious friend.
There was no telling how long Apophis would remain in the maze before giving up… how long he would roam the corridors dragging Daniel with him before he finally decided to get it over with and try to pass through the hammer.
"You have returned,"
The three looked up to see Kendra approaching, "Why has the hammer taken Daniel?"
Jack swallowed, "His been inhabited by Apophis."
Kendra's eyes widened, "When?"
"Not long," Sam said. "It only happened yesterday," she explained, only now realizing that it was now morning.
Kendra nodded, "He could be in the labyrinth for a very long time, you should come with me, get some rest."
Not wanting to return to the SGC only to get reprimanded perhaps even court marshaled and unwilling to leave Daniel despite that there was nothing they could do for him they nodded and followed her back to her cottage.
to be continued…
It's a short part, I know… sorry about that but it took me a long time to write and I was proud of myself for finally getting it done.
The next part should be longer, maybe even the conclusion I'm not sure.
In any case bare with me if I'm confusing the facts, I saw Thor's Hammer but I haven't seen any other episodes with Thor or the ancients so this is all guess work here. They did fix the hammer didn't they? If they didn't let's just say that I have… we'll say my story takes place in an A.U.
