"What is it that you need to tell me about the Toraks?" Daniel wondered as
they headed for the gate.
"A weakness has been found since the last time we've encountered them," replied Torna.
Daniel narrowed his eyes in confusion. He was wondering how such a thing could be found. As far as he knew, the Light inside him didn't know anything. At least Towring didn't tell him anything about it.
"How is that possible?" he had to ask.
"I knew you'd ask that when I told you. Towring couldn't share that information with you quite yet. After the last attack, we had a Torak in our custody. He was alive; believe me but he wasn't talking at all. We gave him food and shelter but he was still a prisoner. He died after many days after he was taken prisoner. He wouldn't eat or anything. We looked over his body to see if there were any areas that could be used to our advantage if we should ever meet again," explained Torna. "And there was. If we can exploit this weakness, we will be able to become free from this torment and hopefully be rid of them for at least a long time and we won't have to suffer more than what we already have."
Daniel smiled once he heard this news as he dialed the gate to the Torak home world.
"I know how you feel, I'm just as happy about this," agreed Torna.
"Very good news indeed," said Daniel.

Carter slightly opened her eyes to see she was being dragged back to where the others where. She glanced to her left side to see doors. There were windows in the doors and she could see faces looking out of them.
'Must be other Lights that experienced the destruction of the Tyinay or other disasters. Maybe even helped build them,' she thought to herself as she was taken into a room.
She stared at the others. They were nervous as what was going to happen next and she had to admit that she was as well.
The Toraks stood around the group.
"We have the information we need from all of you. Now, you will all die," they were told.
O'Neill couldn't believe what he was hearing as he glanced over at Teal'c and Carter. Both were equally surprised by this news. The colonel looked over at the Tok'ra and Lights. They were obviously not surprised, having encountered this people before.
"What the other Tok'ra? They don't have anything you want?" O'Neill had to ask them.
"No, they do not. We have already gotten the information we need from the rest of you," replied Sanchet as he towered over the colonel.
O'Neill gulped as the alien did so, unsure of what he was going to do. But the alien leaned down next to the colonel. Quiet growling could be heard coming from the alien.
"Be warned for I will not tolerate outbursts like that one again," Sanchet whispered into his ear. "I will not warn you next time and you will be dead in an instant."
He straightened up and walked away from them.
"You are all going to be taking a trip and there we will execute you. Your usefulness is at an end," he told them before stopping and grabbing a weapon from one of the others nearby.
He turned to face them, a stern look on his face.
"Now move," he ordered them.
O'Neill looked at Skylar, who mouthed the words 'just go' to him and he did so as the others were forced
to follow.
They were led outside the building and into a nearby clearing. O'Neill became slightly nervous at what was about to happen. In the back of his mind, he hoped that Daniel, along with some backup, were on their way to their location.
***
Daniel, Torna and a few others walked through the gate. Torna began to lead the group into the forest, making Daniel a bit curious.
"You've been here before?" he wondered.
"Yes, I have. So have all others who are with us," replied Torna. "We know where their base is and we know the surroundings quite well."
Daniel was slightly impressed as they headed into the forest and towards where the group was being held. They walked up to the clearing to see O'Neill and the others being forced to their knees.
"We have to go help them. It looks like they are about to be killed," Daniel demanded.
"Then take aim and shoot them. We'll have enough time to get the group out of here. They'll come after us through the Stargate and they'll die by going into the iris. We'll come back after that and get the others out," Torna replied as he prepared the weapon on his hands.
"Why not leave someone here after we get the others out so they can get the others out when the Toraks are gone?" wondered Daniel.
Torna smiled as he looked back at the others.
"Stay here after we get Daniel's friends, the Tok'ra, Naraka and Thai out of there. Free the others once we leave through the Stargate. They'll follow us without a doubt," ordered Torna. "Meet us on Earth once you're done. At least one of you has a way to get past their iris."
The group nodded, understanding what to do. The group quickly and carefully aimed their weapons and fired.

O'Neill glanced over at Skylar. To him, she appeared to be ready for what was about to happen. He realized that she had been through this before and she knew what was about to happen. He gulped as he looked over at Carter, who was next to her father. The Tok'ra also appeared to be ready. The colonel figured that he was also familiar with what was anout to happen.
'What's with these aliens? They're crazy. I hope Daniel gets here really soon with some backup,' O'Neill thought to himself.
He was snapped out of his trance by a voice.
"Take me first. I'm one of the ones you want the most," came Skylar's voice.
O'Neill quickly turned his head to stare at her. Teal'c raised an eyebrow, as Jacob couldn't help but sigh.
"Skylar, there are times when you are really crazy," Jacob muttered to himself. "This is one of those times."
Sanchet quietly laughed as he walked over to her and aimed his weapon at her. She closed her eyes as he prepared to fire the weapon. He never got that chance as the firing of another weapon was heard and Sanchet fell to the ground. SG-1 looked to see Daniel, Torna and a few other Lights firing at the Toraks.
"Sir! It's Daniel!" Carter cried.
"I can see that Major, now let's get out of here," replied O'Neill as he climbed to his feet.
The others did as well and they ran towards the group. Daniel and Torna kept firing even after SG-1, the Tok'ra, Skylar and Naraka were with them.
One of the Toraks was behind a tree for protection. He walked out into the open enough so he could get a shot on them. He fired and it hit Daniel in the shoulder. The archaeologist reeled back in pain.
"Come on, let's get out of here before anything else happen!" cried Torna as he grabbed Daniel's good arm and pulled him towards the gate.
Carter ran up to the DHD and quickly dialed the address for Earth before putting in the code.
"Come on everybody! Let's get moving!" O'Neill called to everyone.
Carter and Teal'c hurried through followed by the Tok'ra and the two Lights. O'Neill looked back to see Torna arriving on scene with Daniel, the others following them.
Daniel walked through the gate as Torna faced O'Neill.
"They are staying behind to rescue the others. Trust us. We know what we are doing," Torna quietly told the colonel.
O'Neill reluctantly nodded as they went through the gate.

O'Neill walked down the ramp to be greeted by General Hammond.
"Welcome back Colonel," Hammon told him, a small smile on his face.
"Nice to be back. Those aliens are really nasty," O'Neill replied.
"Of course. Go see Doctor Fraiser. She's waiting for the lot of you," Hammond told him.
The colonel looked over at Daniel, who was leaning against the wall, Torna and Skylar standing next to him. O'Neill walked over to them.
"How're you doing Daniel?" wondered O'Neill.
"I'll be fine Jack. I'll be fine," Daniel replied, still holding onto his shoulder.
"Good to hear that," O'Neill told him before turning around.
Just as he did so, he heard screaming coming from the three of them. He twirled around to find the three covering their ears, as if in pain. He couldn't help but watch as they sank to the ground, unconscious.
' What the heck is going on?' the group was wondering.
