Disclaimer: Sorry, this has taken me so long to post, Real Life showed up. But I think I've managed to lose it for a while. I don't know if I've spelt "naquida" right, so don't yell if I haven't. I don't own Stargate, no matter how much I want to.
Please read and review, feedback is needed! :)
Spoilers: Stargate the movie, any episode where Danny dies and Legacy.
~Confusion.~
Teal'c stared around at the other side of the gate. All the Utha buildings they had seen the first time they had been here were now destroyed.
"What happened here?" Sam asked, her eyes wide in horror. Jack stared around at the devastation. In a half burned building he spotted two eyes peering out at them. He caught Teal'c and Sam's eyes and gave a very slight nod in the eyes direction. They both saw them and nodded. As one they began to slowly move towards them, taking care to appear as if they were just wandering. They were nearly at the eyes when a small voice called out from the shadows.
"Go 'way Rossen! What do you want?"
"We are not Rossen." Sam called, wishing that Daniel was here, he could do this so much better than her. "Could we talk to you please?" There was a short pause than a tiny Utha child stepped out of the building. She blinked and regarded them all.
"Hello." Jack said softly. The child looked at him.
"Hello." she answered. "Are you looking for my uncle Nath? He no here anymore." she said innocently.
"Why do you think that?" Sam asked. The child shrugged her furry shoulders.
"I saw the man with the shiny orbs talk to Uncle Nath then to you."
"Daniel" breathed Sam. The girl turned her yellow eyes upon Sam.
"Is that his name?" she asked.
"You are correct young one, we are indeed searching for the one they call Nath." Teal'c stated. The girl beamed up at him.
"I'll take you to him, come on." she said, grabbing Teal'c by the hand and dragging him away from the Stargate. Jack and Sam followed as the girl chatted to Teal'c.
~@~
"Uncle Nath! Uncle Nath!" the little girl cried, still holding Teal'c by the hand. The Utha they had first met, poked his head out of a mud building.
"Yes, Jana? Oh... you have returned. Where is Daniel Jackson?" Nath asked.
"That's what we want to know." Jack answered, pushing past Nath.
"NO! Jack O'Neill, do not go in there!" Nath pleaded. His request fell on deaf ears as Jack entered the mud house. There, inside was a human looking female, which Jack knew instantly was a Rossen. The woman looking about 18 in earth years. She had long silver hair and bright blue eyes.
"Who are you? Where is Nath? Are you Rossen?" The female barked out the questions so fast that Jack simply stood there, his mouth hanging slightly open. The blue eyes narrowed.
"You are Rossen." she screamed. At that moment Sam and Teal'c rushed in, worried by the noise they could hear. The female span round as they burst in, there weapons at the ready. The girl's arm flew up, her palm outstretched, her fingers slightly curled.
Suddenly Jack found himself flying through the air, unable to move. He hit the wall, held there by invisible ropes. A glance to his right and left showed him Sam and Teal'c were in the same position.
"Asshlya! It's okay, they are not Rossen! They came through the God's gate! Put them down!" yelled Nath, his fur standing up in shock. Asshlya lowered her arm and SG-1 found themselves being lowered to the ground. Nath sighed and looked at Asshlya.
"Asshlya, would you go and look after Jana please?" Nath asked. Asshlya paused, her gaze going from SG-1 back to Nath. After a second she nodded and walked out.
"What is going on?" Jack asked, a frown on his face. "She's Rossen isn't she?"
"yes, that is true." Nath admitted. "let me explain." He gestured to some seats and sat down. Sam sat down as well, however Jack and Teal'c remained standing. Nath began slowly, choosing his words with care.
"When the Rossen first came through the gate there were, as there always is, a few who disagreed with what they were doing. Those few wanted to co-exist with the Utha. Asshlya is one such Rossen."
"This is all very interesting and all but all I want to know is what the hell was in those darts they have." Jack interrupted. Nath's eyelids fluttered.
"Someone has been hit with lycol?" Nath asked.
"Lycol?" Sam asked, her face alight with interest. "Daniel was hit by a dart thing but what's lycol?"
"It is the poison in the darts the Rossen carry. If it hits an Utha then the memories of that Utha are blocked. If it hit's a Rossen however..."
"Yes?" Jack said.
"It was about five cycles ago." Nath said, his eyes dark, locked in some distant memory. "It was when we first met Asshlya."
~Flashback~
A young Utha girl peered out from the undergrowth, her eyes wide in fear. The child was no more than 4 years old yet she had seen more death than most people.
"Find the Utha! Find the slime child! Find it!" a Rossen yelled. The child's eyes diluted in terror. She turned and ran in the opposite direction. For a few minutes all she could see was the thick green foliage. Then she smashed right into a Rossen. The Utha froze in terror. The Rossen looked down, a smile on her face.
"Hi" she said softly.
"P-please." The Utha stuttered.
"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. My name's Asshlya. What's yours?"
"J-Jana." The little Utha said. Asshlya gave her a small smile.
"Listen to me Jana, you have to run the other way. There are Rossen behind me. Okay? Can you find the way to your home from here?" Asshlya asked. Jana nodded. There was a snap behind Asshlya. She gave Jana a little push back the way she came.
"Run." was all she said. Jana took off, her little legs pumping as fast as they could go. A few seconds later a bunch of Rossen burst out from the undergrowth.
"Asshlya!" called the leader. "Have you seen a Utha child?"
"Sorry, I haven't." Asshlya answered.
~End Flashback~
"Look, like I said before, all really interesting but what does it have to do with Daniel?" Jack said. Nath sighed.
"I'm getting to that. After Asshlya saved Jana, we met. She helped us save countless Utha lives. Then... it was a sunny day, about three cycles ago. Asshlya was helping five Utha children escape. She..." Nath gulped, then carried on. "She was caught... she let herself be caught to give the children time to escape." He shook his head, lost in the memories.
"What happened to her?" Sam asked. Nath's jaw tightened as he looked at her, his eyes filled with an unspoken pain.
"They shot her. They shot her with lycol. We found her the next day, wandering, the very essence of who she was sucked from her. At first we thought the effects were the same but..." he trailed off.
"Go on." Sam prompted.
"We soon noticed that she remembered feelings about people." seeing Jack's blank look, Nath hurriedly carried on.
"She remembered the fear she had of the Rossen and the need to protect Jana and other Utha's. The something happened that we did not expect."
"And what might that be Nath?" asked Teal'c.
"It unlocked a part of the brain... no that's wrong, It created a drug that was pumped around the brain. This gave her some form of psychic power." There was a stunned silence as SG-1 tried to digest the information they had been given. Sam was the first to brake it.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yes. This is lycol." Nath said, holding up a tiny bottle. Inside was about two drops of a sliver liquid.
"Lycol is made from, among other things, the God's rock..." Nath finished.
"God's rock? That could be naquida sir." Sam said, looking at Jack. "It would explain the so called powers Asshlya has." She turned back to Nath.
"Do you have an antidote?" she asked. Nath shrugged his shoulders.
"We do, however it is so hard to make and Asshlya isn't..."
"... to high on the list to be cured?" Jack guessed. Nath nodded.
"They do not trust her, even after all she has done because she is Rossen. There is always some reason or other as to why we can not give her the antidote." Nath said, his voice rising. Jack sighed and rubbed his eyes with his hand.
"Look, all I know is Daniel can't remember who he is. All I care about is Daniel being Daniel again. Can you fix him?" Jack asked.
"The government will be most unwilling to help, the antidote, 'CD666' is, as I said, very hard to obtain." Nath said sadly.
"Do you know what 'CD666' is?" Sam asked. Nath looked at them, then said slowly;
"I worked with Carth Deung, the Utha who developed CD666. I know how he did it, but with the war I will have problems getting the equipment I would need to reproduce the antidote."
"Just a second. You live in mud huts yet you managed to create an antidote?" Jack asked, the disbelief written all to clearly on his face.
"Just because we chose to live simply does not mean we are simple. You have to know how to see it. How else do you think we have survived so long here? As for the mud huts, why bother making proper homes when the Rossen will just destroy them?" Nath retorted.
"Well, we could probably get the stuff you need Nath. Why not come back with us? That's if it's all right with you sir?" Sam added, turning to Jack.
"If it will help Jackson- I mean Daniel then I'm all for it." Jack replayed. Sam and Teal'c looked at each other. Jack's slip of the tong had not gone un-noticed by the two of them.
"I will help you make 'CD666' for your friend... only if I may give Asshlya a dose." Nath said.
"Fine. Whatever" Jack said.
"Asshlya! Asshlya!" called Nath. Asshlya poked her head around the door space.
"Yes Nath?" She asked.
"Take Jana to her aunt. You and I are taking a trip." Nath said. Asshlya nodded and walked back outside. Jack could hear her talking to Jana while Nath rushed round the tiny mud hut collecting things and placing them in a brown hessian bag.
"I am ready." the cat like creature said. He cast one last look to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything then stepped into the sunset. Jack looked over at Sam and Teal'c.
"Okay Campers, let's go home."

"Off world gate activation! I repeat, off world gate activation!" General Hammond looked up, the worry clearly written on his face.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"It's SG-1 sir!" the technician said with relief. Hammond's face relaxed as SG-1 exited the wormhole, followed by Nath and Asshlya.
"Stand down." he called through the mike before hurrying down the metal steps to meet them.
"General.2 called Jack. "How's things back here?" To everyone's surprise General Hammond simply shook his head, a tiny frown on his face.
"We think we may have found a way to help Daniel sir." Sam said.
"Jack. We may have a small problem." the general said stiffly. Jack's head snapped up.
"What is it General?" he asked. Hammond paused as Janet came running up.
"Major, Doctor, could you take our guests to the infirmary to give them the all clear?" Asshlya and Nath looked at him, fear in there eyes.
"We just have to run a few tests on you, to make sure you are OK. Don't worry, the Colonel and Teal'c will have the same tests and the major can have them at the same time. I just need to talk to Jack and Teal'c." Hammond said. Teal'c stood next to Jack as they watched the four walk off.
"Let's go to the briefing room, shall we?" Hammond ordered. Teal'c raised an eyebrow at Jack as they set off.
Inside the briefing room sat a dark haired man. He was facing away from the door as the three entered so all Jack could see was the back of his head.
"Colonel, Tea;'c, you had better sir down." Hammond said. Jack slowly sat down, his eyes fixed on the mans head.
"Colonel Jack O'Neill. Teal'c. How good to see you again." The man said, swinging his chair round. Jack felt his mouth drop open. It was Dr. MacKenzie.
"What the hell is he doing here, sir?" Jack spat out, his lips pressed firmly together.
"I'm here to take a look at how Dr. Jackson is. I am very interested in his... amnesia." Dr. MacKenzie said. Jack turned to Hammond.
"We found out that Daniel was infected by a poison called lycol. It enables him to remember the feelings he has for certain people and with all due respect, I think the Doctor-" he spat out the word 'doctor'
"-would most likely produce a negative reaction."
"I'm sure I can calm Dr. Jackson down, if it comes to that." Dr. MacKenzie turned his chair so he was only facing General Hammond.
"I should be ready for him to be moved in 30 minutes General." He began.
"Move him?" Jack yelled. "What do you mean move him!"
"I have my orders Colonel." Dr. MacKenzie said, with a smug smile. "Dr. Jackson is to be moved from this facility and taken to my private hospital for treatment. We will find out the real reason for his supposed 'memory loss'."
"We already know the real reason! And it's not fake! We even have a possible cure." Jack yelled. Dr. MacKenzie's smile became even more smug, if that was possible. He lent forward, his forefinger tapping on a folder laid on the table in front of him.
"According to these reports you have been acting with anger towards Dr. Jackson. Also when he last saw you he began to scream did he not?" Dr. MacKenzie asked.
"What of it?"
"Don't you think there may be some sort of connection there?" the smile grew even smugger as Jack turned a deep shade of red.
"Are you implying something?" Jack ground out. "Are you saying Danny is faking this illness to avoid talking to me?"
"Is that what you think?" Dr. MacKenzie said.

Nurse Carol walked along a corridor, casting the odd sly glance at the man in front of her. She was new and therefor, slightly star struck at meeting the person who had opened the gate. Daniel tried to fight the rising panic he could feel, bubbling just below his skin. He walked a little way in front of the nurse who would give him the once over when ever she thought he wasn't looking. They turned left and carried on to wander, unaware that they were heading for the briefing room. As they neared a few words came floating out.
"Dammit! Daniel... treatment!" It was Jack's voice. Daniel's head began to hurt. They were going to take him away... they were going to take his glasses away. Even though he had no memory he had the strangest feeling of de'ja vu. Without thinking about it, his hand flew up to his glasses. He breathed a sigh of relief as he realized they were still there. The headache began to build up behind his eyes. His eyes flickered to the nurse next to him.
//If only she wasn't there. If only she was... if she was in that room over there.\\
Nurse Carol suddenly flew up into the air. She gave Daniel a panicked look as she flew into the room he had noticed. The door swung shut and locked her in. For a second Daniel froze in place, torn between helping the nurse or running.
//Have to get out, have to get out, have to get out.\\ he turned and ran, his feet finding the way to that gateroom.

"I can't believe I am hearing this General!" Jack roared, casting a dirty look at Dr. MacKenzie. Suddenly alarms began to ring. Jack, Teal'c and Hammond all rushed to the window as the 'gate began to dial up. A technician opened the door and looked in. He saw the General and nodded.
"It's the same as the other's sir." The technician said then pulled his head back and left, his footsteps echoing.
"The gate keeps dialing up from this side Jack." Hammond said in answer to Jack's unspoken question.
"Not only that but the iris won't close and we don't know where the wormhole is going."
There was a load bang to the right of the gate. The metal door which had closed the second the gate began to open went flying. It hit the wall at the other side of the gate with a smash. Jack watched in disbelief as Daniel ran through the hole and up the ramp towards the open gate.
"Daniel!" Screamed Jack. At the very top of the ramp Daniel stopped and looked back.
Blue eyes met brown for a split second and then he was gone.
TBC...
Hee, hee I'm so evil, but that's where I'm leaving it.
