Disclaimer: I still don't own Stargate. I don't know why you think it would have changed. IMPORTANT -By the way, this story is set after 'Forsaken', but it is written as if Nirti would have survived.

The Last Divination

Chapter 3- Performance Finale

"Really general. He needs to be detained." Jack was inside Hammond's office. General Hammond was in deep thought about it. He had seen Jonas' behaviour, and knew it could get dangerous. One thing he didn't know though was that Jack had a tranquilliser in his pocket without permission. He had been in a similar situation with Major Carter when she had Jolinar, the Tok'ra symbiote. The tranquilliser had proved vital, and Jack was mainly taking precautions. He still hoped that he wouldn't need to use it.

Finally, Hammond said, "Ok Jack. Go down and tell Jonas to get changed, he's not going on this mission. I'll send him down to Doctor Frasier."

"Yes, sir." Jack replied. He made his way down the stairs as quickly as humanly possible.

"Jonas?" He shouted as he approached his team. "Sit this one out, yeah?" Jack had a horrible sick feeling of de ja vu in his stomach. He was sure Teal'c and Sam had it too.

"What?" Said Jonas, looking as if he would blow any minute.

"You heard me, you're not coming. We're going alone. You have to go see Doc Frasier."

"Why?" Jonas said threateningly. Jack knew he was moving dangerously, but stood his ground.

"Look, I'm not gonna start a fight with you about thi-" Jack was sharply stopped by a punch in the face. No one said anything, they were too stunned.

He hit Jack again, and again. Teal'c jumped on him but Jonas brushed him away with suprising strength. General Hammonds voice boomed out. "Jonas, stand down." But it was to no avail, no one stopped. Teal'c lurched on Jonas yet again, but was met by a sharp blow in his mouth. Jonas tried to hit Teal'c on the head with his gun, but luckily his aim was not accurate, and he missed.

Jonas felt a punch in his back. Jack was behind him. He spun around but Teal'c grabbed his arm which let out a horrible crack. Suprisingly, he didn't seem to notice. He hurled his fist at Teal'c, which caused his nose to bleed. In this split second Jonas was watching Teal'c, he lost his concentration. Jack has his arms around Jonas, trying to restrain him, but the angrier Jonas got, the stronger he got, and he broke free. As his gun was flailing in the air, it caught Sam on the cheek, sending her flying backwards. She then hit her head on the runway leading up to the gate. Hurting Sam was the last straw for Jack. He reached for the tranquilliser and jammed it into Jonas' shoulder.

Jonas' mind was getting confused. He saw a dozen airmen running towards him before he fell to the ground. The last thing he remembered was seeing General Hammond standing tall and proud behind the bulletproof glass, with Daniel Jackson standing just behind him.

*~*~*~*~*

The lights of the imfirmiry were bright when Jonas opened his eyes. It took a few minutes for his eyes to adjust, but he could make out the silhouette of Dr Frasier beside him.

"Jonas...?" She said cautiously.

He tried to get up, but found his arms, legs and neck were restrained.

"Let me go." He said. "Let me go! If you don't I swear I'll kill you, Frasier! LET ME GO!" His anger seemed to bring a new burst of energy, and he struggled, but slowly stopped; defeated.

Janet Frasier flinched and picked up the nearest phone.

"Give me Colonel O'Neill...yes...Colonel? He's awake...no...no sir, there's no change...ok." She hung up. Dr Frasier picked up her clipboard and noted something down.

Jonas looked up at the ceiling. There was no way anyone was going to let him go, who was he kidding? Soon, Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, Sam and General Hammond appeared.

Sam said, "Jonas?" We've been discussing how this happened." As he was looking up at the ceiling, she added, "Can you hear me?"

Jonas sighed, his eyes still focusing on the electric lights. "Of course I can hear you." He said hoarsely.

"We weren't talking to you," Jack announced plainly. "We were talking to Jonas.'

'Don't say anything' thought Jonas. 'Carry on staring at the ceiling. Don't tell them anything.'

Sam smiled thankfully at Jack, and proceeded. "We think it might have something to do with Nirti, when she had you in the DNA machine. You said you were in there over an hour."

Silence.

"We'd just like you to know we are going to try and find Nirti. She escaped after the aliens tried to kill her, but the Tok'ra know where she is, they've been tracing her. We'll make her reverse this."

Jonas broke his own silence and the silence which was now filling the room.

"This has nothing to do with Nirti. This is the way I've always been, and as I've discussed with the good colonel here, you were just too stupid to see it. Once I am released, I'll destroy all of you."

His eyes were still drifting along the lights, but he could feel their glares upon him. Sam had a look of pity and sadness. It was the kind of expression she had when she had seen Daniel in the mental institution. She beckoned to everyone to leave until only Jack remained.

"You're never gonna escape from here y'know." He stated, staring right into Jonas' eyes, which had retreated from the ceiling.

"I'm stronger than you think." He said, and with only a small effort, broke his left hand out of the restraint.

Jack was surprised. He called at the nearest nurse. "Get some stronger restraints... and get an airmen watching him 24/7."
