Disclaimer: Here's my next part to Event Horizon, hope you all like it. Things haven't changed in the last week or so, I still don't own Stargate, isn't that sad.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first part, hopefully this part will be even better.
Spoilers: Stargate the movie, any ep where Danny dies and Legacy.
~Despair.~
~The Utha Home World.~
Jack looked at Daniel, anger in his eyes.
"I thought you said they were friendly!" he roared, ducking a stay weapons blast. Daniel gave them all a worried glance.
"I don't understand." he muttered. Just then, Nath, the alien they had first met after stepping though the Stargate, came running past, his four legs hitting the ground wildly.
"Nath!" Daniel called. The Utha turned, his yellow eyes flashing.
"Daniel Jackson? You and your friends must leave! The Rossen are attacking. You must escape at once!" he yelled. Daniel opened his mouth.
"The Rossen?" he asked in confusion. Nath grabbed Daniel and pulled him towards the gaping mouth of an inky black cave. Sam and Teal'c ran after them and Jack followed, trailing behind them all.
Inside the cave, Nath turned back to the entrance and peered at the mountain range, where the fighting seemed to be centered. He cast a worried glance at the Stargate, which at the moment seemed untouched by the battle raging around. He turned back to Daniel and sighed.
"The Rossen are our enemy. They came through the God's gate to our planet, over seven cycles ago. Before the sun had set on that first day, they had attacked, destroying whole villages." he answered, in reply to Daniel's question. After a second or two, he carried on.
"They don't kill... there weapons do something far worst." he fell silent and refused to say anything else about the Rossen.
Jack gave a sigh and looked at Daniel.
"Well, Jackson looked like you messed up again." Jack said. Daniel didn't say anything but if truth were to be known those words had hurt him deeply. Sam looked up.
"Sir, with all due respect, this isn't Daniel's fault."
"Carter, shut up." Jack ordered. Sam shook her head.
"No sir yo-"
"Sam, please." Daniel interrupted, his blue eyes pleading. Sam reluctantly shut her mouth, casting the odd nasty glance in Jack's direction.
"okay, we'll head back to the Stargate. Jackson, make sure you keep up." Jack ordered. They set off for the 'gate, Daniel bringing up the rear. As he passed Nath one of his arms shot out and caught Daniel.
"Beware." he stammered. "The Rossen weapons can destroy the essence of who we are." With that, the feline alien released Daniel and sprang further into the cave, disappearing into the darkness.
"Jackson!" yelled Jack. "Get your lazy butt out here now!" Daniel ran out, panting slightly.
"Have you finally finished your sightseeing? In case you haven't noticed there's a little a bit of a war going on. We have to get out of here."
As they set off Teal'c found himself standing next to Daniel.
"DanielJackson, may I ask you a question?" he inquired. Daniel gave a smile.
"You already have Teal'c, but you can ask another one." he joked. Teal'c simply looked at him.
"Indeed." he cast a glance at Jack, who was walking along, his eyes darting this way and that, scanning every tree, every bush, for any sign of danger.
"Why are you allowing O'Neill to treat you in this manner?" he asked, his voice perfectly calm. Daniel groaned.
"Look Teal'c , it's kinda hard to explain... just leave it alone okay?" he asked. Teal'c looked at Daniel for a minute, then nodded.
"Very well DanielJackson." he said, then moved forward, Daniel sped up as well, trying to catch up with Jack and Sam.
They were nearing the Stargate when Daniel first heard it. A low snapping sound, as if something or someone was pushing through the undergrowth behind them. Daniel paused, his head tilted to one side as he listened for the noise again.
"Daniel! Stop looking at the damn undergrowth and start moving those legs of yours!" came Jack's voice from further up the path. Daniel shrugged and began to jog, in an effort to catch up with the rest of SG-1. As they neared the gate, Daniel heard it again. This time though, it seemed a lot closer.
"Jack I think th-" he began.
"I don't care what you think Jackson. Open the 'gate."
"But Jack" Daniel protested. Jack glared at him.
"Open. This. Gate. Now." he said, clearly and quietly. Daniel sighed and turned away planning to do as Jack said and dial home when he saw it. A human looking male, with light blue skin and jet black hair.
As if in slow monition Daniel saw the man lift a tube to his mouth and blow through it. A dart with red feathers flew out and shot straight for Jack. With out thinking about it, Daniel pushed Jack out of the way. The dart hit Daniel, right where Jack had been standing a second before. His eyes widened as he let out a chocked gasp. With shacking hands he clasped the red feather and pulled out the dart. Teal'c and Sam rushed into the undergrowth, there weapons at the ready. The aline however was long gone. Jack rushed over to Daniel, who had now sank to his knees. He let out a few chocked moans, panting hard.
"Daniel, Danny come on talk to me!" Jack begged. Daniel gave a weak smile as he fell further onto the ground.
"Jack..." he gasped out. "You OK?" Jack smiled at this, typical Daniel comment. Daniel suddenly went rigid and his body began to spasm.
"Jack... I can't feel my legs." he gasped out then lapsed into unconscious. Jack tried to wake up but to no effect. By then Sam and Teal'c had returned. Sam took one at Daniel's crumpled form and rushed to dial the gate. Jack picked up Daniel's slumped body, the first twinge of guilt rushing through him.
"Hold on Danny." he muttered.
~The SGC - present.~
Janet looked up from the chart, the confusion written all to clearly on her face. After the screaming episode she had been forced to sedate Daniel. When he came to he had been find until he saw Jack. Then the screaming had begun all over again. In the end Jack had left, unable to look into the terrified gaze of his friends eyes.
"Janet, tell me what's wrong. Please." Jack said, making Janet jump. She looked over to where he was sitting.
"I can't find anything physically wrong with him." she said frustrated.
"There has to be something, why can't he remember who he is?" Jack protested.
"I don't know." Janet admitted. "It had to have something to do with that dart but I can't find any trace of toxin or poison, certainly nothing that could cause this." She turned towards Jack... and realized he was gone.
"Great, now the Colonel has pulled a vanishing act." she said, to the empty room.
~@~
Sam lightly tapped on the door to the VIP room.
"Come in." said a dull voice. Sam pushed open the guest room door and stepped in. Daniel sat on the bed, his eyes dull and glassy as he started into space.
"Oh, hey... Sam isn't it?" he asked, a faint frown on his face. Sam gave a gentle smile, yet inside her heart was breaking.
"Yeah, that's right, I'm Sam, we've friends... do you remember anything at all about who you are?" she asked, hoping against hope that Daniel would. Daniel, slowly shook his head.
"No, I'm sorry, I don't remember anything at all. They say I'm called Daniel Jackson and it does sound a tiny bit familiar but..." he said, clearly frustrated.
"Don't worry Daniel, It will come."
"But what if it doesn't? What if I never remember you or my wife or the brown guy, what's his name, Teal?"
"Teal'c." she corrected.
"Teal'c, Right."
What did Janet tell you about about your wife?" Sam asked. At Daniel's blank look, she added.
"Janet is the doctor."
"Well... she said my wife was called Sha're and that she had been kidnapped. She also told me about a big blue circle that I had supposedly managed to open. That all does seem familiar but I can't quite see... I can see her face, can remember her voice, there's just a big black space."
Daniel practically yelled. He fell silent and began to stare at the floor.
"What about Jack?" Sam asked. At the mention of Jack, Daniel stiffened.
"I don't know." Daniel said helplessly.
"why did you... why did you just do that?" Sam asked.
"Do what?"
"This." Sam said then added, "Jack." Daniel stiffened again, his left eye twitching.
"I..." Daniel began. He was saved from answering by a knock at the door. It opened and a young man's face popped around the side.
"Major Carter? General Hammond would like to see you in his office."
"Okay, I'm coming. I'll see you later okay Daniel?" Sam asked. Daniel meekly nodded.
"OK." he said. Sam looked as if she was going to say something else but she simply smiled and left. After she was gone the smile that had been lingering on Daniel's face disappeared. He began to pace up and down the room looking very worried indeed.
When Sam reached the General's office she saw that Jack and Teal'c were already there.
"you wanted to see me sir?" she asked.
"Ah, Major, come in and have a seat."Hammond said, waving her forward.
"As I was saying sir, the Utha we met, called Nath, may be able to tell us more." Jack stated.
"I agree sir, he knows more than he told us." Sam added. Hammond looked over to Teal'c who nodded his head in agreement.
"Very well SG-1, you have a go." Hammond ordered. They all stood up as one and made for the door.
"You leave in 15 minutes." he added as the door swung shut.
~@~
The shimmering blue wave, that signaled the opening of the gate rushed forward, before falling back on itself. SG-1 stood there waiting, no a word passed between them.
"This is it, campers let's go." Jack said. They all walked up the ramp and through the gate, in the hope of finding a cure for Daniel, the missing member of SG-1.
~@~
Daniel was pacing up and down the VIP room, thinking of Jack.
"I have to get out, I have to get out, I have to get out, I have to get out..." he muttered, his expression becoming more panicked by the second.
"Have to, have to, have to, have to, have to..." he continued to mutter.
At the Gate room, the Stargate began to move. General Hammond looked in surprise as the gate began to dial up.
"What is going on, is someone trying to dial in?" he asked. The technician looked up fro m his computer.
"No sir... somehow the gate is dialing out!" The General watched as the stargate opened.
"Close the Iris!" he barked. The technician's fingers flew over the keyboard. A second later he looked up at Hammond, his eyes wide.
"The Iris won't close sir" he stammered out. Hammond gazed at the gate in shook.
"What the hell is going on?" he asked to no one in particular.
