Fighting for home.
The two officers could be seen by the visiting team approaching the Stargate, those who needed to go through it not far behind them. The door to the control room was being guarded by Jack O'Neill, Teal'c and Daniel Jackson watching carefully to make sure there were no Goa'uld approaching.
Carter had been briefed, and although still badly injured she had agreed to go through with this mission wanting to see her world freed. All of the others, even those from the infirmary had also agreed to go, now all they had to do was get to the gate.
The officers approached as quietly as they could. Most of the Goa'uld had left this part of the base, but there were still over six guarding the Stargate in case anyone made an attempt to escape. After entering the room one of the soldiers threw down a grenade releasing a gas which blocked the Goa'ulds line of vision and then they both ran as fast as they could to the platform leading to the gate. When the gas cleared the Goa'uld lifted their staff weapons, getting ready to kill those who were getting in their way, advancing towards then up the platform, but just as they were about to shoot, up in the control room Carter typed in the coordinates to the Tok'ra home world and activated the gate in a well executed plan of attack.
As soon as the iris opened and the siren sounded the two officers in an extreme act of fitness somersaulted off the side of the platform, the Goa'uld though trying to escape got caught by the force of the gates discharge and were incinerated. Before any of the other Goa'uld from the different parts of the base could reach them, the eight officers entered it, traveling to a world which held their only hope.
"So now we wait." O'Neill stated loudly, to his friends.
"I'm married to Janet?" Daniel stated still in shock.
"Go Spacemonkey." Jack teased quietly.
"Does anyone else think we'd better get to the quantum mirror?" Samantha Carter then asked.
By the time they decided to make their way back to the mirror Goa'uld officers were already approaching from different parts of the base, something which provided quite an obstacle for the SG:1 team. All became injured fighting to get back to the mirror, however they managed to avoid most of the officers by using their knowledge of the base to hide as they approached. From the Goa'ulds still being there the team deducted that the mission had not been successful yet, though still they were holding out hope, for Hollys sake.
After an hour of fighting, getting injured, and being faced by debris blocking off doorways they reached the room where the quantum device was held. Kawalsky was alive, though barely but had managed to protect the quantum device and the control for it, and surprisingly as if fate was on their side the device was still connected to their own home world.
"C'mon buddy." Jack O'Neill told his barely conscious friend taking the control for the device off him and giving it to Daniel, then helping him up "Let's get you fixed up." he told him signaling someone on their side of the mirror to prepare for some casualties. He then sent his friend through to their own world to get treated.
The Goa'uld could be heard approaching down the corridor.
"Damn. Where the hell are those guys." O'Neill said of the Tok'ra.
The footsteps got closer. Suddenly the ground shook, bricks and rocks could be heard crashing down, and the area where O'Neill was standing suddenly became engulfed with rocks from the collapsing ceiling, rocks which blocked off the open doorway so the approaching Goa'uld could not enter.
"Sir?" Samantha Carter cried, the sound of Goa'uld staff fire surrounding her as they tried to break through the rocks.
"Jack?" Daniel shouted, joining in and trying to pull some of the rocks away.
"Sir if you cna hear me say something. " she cried, all her emotion pent up throughout this mission needing to be released.
Suddenly Daniel stopped.
"Sam we have to go." he said slowly looking through a hole in the roof of the base.
"Daniel we can't leave him." She cried getting more and more upset.
"Look!" he told her.
She followed his eyes to the gap in the roof. A Goa'uld ship could clearly be seen hovering over the top of the base, one of the few which had been torturing this planet for the past few weeks, however now a fleet could be seen approaching, the sky filling with ships, Tok'ra ships. Firefight suddenly filled the sky, the Tok'ra ships using all capabilities they had to fight against their mortal enemies. They were then joined by the Asguard, coming back to see the Goa'uld beaten. The base began to shake with the intensity of the blasts. Some of the ships could be seen exploding however many were fighting on.
"If we stay we could die." Daniel told her. "This is a war now."
"If we leave Jack could die too and I'm not going to let that happen."
"Sam I know you care for him, but look at the rocks on top of him. Look at the number of them...I don't think even Jack could survive this."
"He's not dead Daniel." she told him.
"You don't know that Major." Teal'c told her firmly.
"But I do...and no I can't explain it. All I know is we just can't leave him here." she told Teal'c.
"Damn it guys he's part of us, a part of the team. How would you feel if you left him knowing he could still be alive under there. I'm not ready to lose him Daniel, as a friend or as anything, and I don't think you are either. So if you give a damn at all then..."
Suddenly the sound of the staff weapons went dead and the sky turned orange, orders were being given to the Goa'uld outside. Inaudible orders from Carter's point of view, and also in this case Daniel's, words which caused the conversation to cease.
"What does that mean?" Carter asked Teal'c regarding what they were hearing outside.
"Surrender." he told her actually with a small smile. "It seems we have been successful."
