Monica was woken up by the alarm clock. She reached over and hit the buzzer off. She rolled over in Johns arms and saw him fast asleep. She smiled at house peaceful he looked. She slid closer to him and started kissing over his face. His temple, nose, eyes, cheek and finally his lips. His mouth opened to her and they kissed gently.
Good morning. He yawned out.
Morning. We need to get up and get ready. She told his as she sat up in bed and strechted her arms above her head. John also sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist while her arms were still in the air. She ought her arms down and linked her fingers with his. She turned her head slightly to look into his eyes. I love you. She told him with all the honesty she had in her.
I love you too. He replied as he kissed along her neck to her shoulder blade. Come on, we need to get suited up.
He stood up and strechted his muscles and then pulled her off of the bed. They walked hand in hand to the changing rooms to find some of the others already changing. They looked at their lockers which had their names on it and saw combat clothes waiting for them, with their names printed on the front. Also in their lockers were weapons for them. Monica took in a breath as she saw all of this. The fight, which she had known would happen sooner or later, was about to happen.
Everyone changed in silence, no one quite knew what to say in a situation like this. They were about to go after the most powerful Goa'uld in the universe, destroy him and his weapons and also save Missy. Once changed they were escorted above ground to three waiting cars, General Hammond saluted them as they were driven off to an unknown location. Monica watched as the trees went by. She turned her head to look at John who was sitting next to her. It didn't suprise her that he was already watching her, she smiled a sad smile at his. He lifted his arm and placed it around her shoulders. She leant her head against his shoulder as he tightened his grip around her, pulling her closer.
The cars came to a stop in the middle of an air field, where an alien ship waited for them.
Monica said when she saw the ship. They stepped out of the cars and walked up to the ship. The door opened and Jacob came out to greet them.
Sam, it's so good to see you. He said as he embraced his daughter.
It's good to see you too Dad. Once they parted they turned towards everyone. Dad, this is Monica Reyes, John Doggett, Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Walter Skinner and Brad Follmer. You know everyone else.
Its a pleasure to meet you guys. He closed his eyes and opened them again. It is an honour. He said in a different voice.
That is so cool. Mulder stated. They all shook hands and entered the ship. This is so cool! Mulder again stated.
What? You've seen an alien ship before. Dana reminded him.
But this is the first ship I've been in which hasn't intended on probing me up the ass. He reminded her with a grin.
Is everyone set? Jacob asked.
Yep, everything we need is on board and everyone is present and accounted for. Sam answered.
Everyone hang on! Jacob called to everyone as he started steering the ship out of Earths atmosphere.
To what!? Mulder called from the ring room.
I'm about to go into hyper drive. Jacob warned. Three, two, one, engaged. Everyone held on as the ship jumped into hyper space. Once the ship was flying smoothly Jacob stood up from his seat. Is everyone okay?
That was awesome. Monica commented as she stood up.
I'm glad you think so.
How long until we reach the planet? Skinner asked as he too stood up.
About an hour, I'll ring you down and then hide in the moons shadow out of their radar. We'll be able to communicate through these. Jacob handed everyone a little device. Just place it on your clothes. He instructed and everyone followed the instruction. When you need to leave, just say and I'll fly by and ring you up.
Half an hour later they all sat in a circle playing cards. They had nothing better to do and Mulder had bought a deck of cards with him. Some of them played while half of them watched Mulder lose. Monica stood up and went into the front area and looked out the front window. John saw her walk away and he followed her. He stepped up behind her and placed his arms around her waist. She leant back in his arms.
It's so beautiful. She commented as she looked at the hyper space window.
Not as beautiful as you. John ran a hand delicately down the side of her cheek.
Sweet talker. She laughed.
You know you love it. He joked.
God help me but I do. She rotated in his arms, wrapping her arms around his shoulder, leaning her head against his shoulder.
I hate to break up this romantic moment, but we're coming up to the planet. Jacob told them as he sat down in the drivers seat. John gave Monica a light kiss on the lips.
Exiting hyper speed. Jacob announced a second before they exited hyper speed. Causing everyone to nearly lose their balance.
Please, next time, a little more than half a seconds warning. Mulder said to him.
Jacob drove the ship so it hid behind the moons shadow. Now as soon as I ring you guys down they'll know you're there. They're probably keeping an eyes on the atmosphere and would notice any change. So as soon as you're down on the ground, run until you're as safe as you can be.
Okay this is how it's going to work once we're down there. Carter, Teal'c, Daniel, Skinner, Mulder and Doggett will go and find Missy. Jonas, Scully, Follmer, Reyes and I will destroy the weapon and hopefully Anubis. Monica was about to protest. We need you Monica to help take out the weapon. Jack explained. She still looked unsure. John turned to her.
Monica, I will find Missy and bring her back safe. He placed his hand on her cheek. Monica knew he was thinking about Luke, about how he feels as though he failed him. He needed to do this. I wont fail. He told her firmly. Monica nodded. Knowing that he will do everything in his power to bring their daughter back safely.
Guys are you ready for this? Jacob asked.
Everyone stood up in the ring room. They were stood in a circle. No one knew what to say at a time like this. Monica held her hand in the middle, John soon placed his hand on top her hers, followed by Jack and soon everyone.
For Earth. John said.
For humans. Monica said.
For the universe. Scully said.
For the truth. Monica said. No one added anything. That summed what everyone was feeling. They dropped their hands. John pulled Monica to the side for a moment. They pulled each other in a fierce hug.
I love you, with all my heart. John whispered in her ear gently. Monica pulled back and John saw the tears in her eyes.
I love you too, more than anything. Monica replied. They were instantly drawn into a passionate kiss. No one interrupted them. Everyone knew the danger. They knew this could be the last they every see each other. They knew they may all die this day. They eventually pulled back. But they spoke no more words. It wasn't needed. They were speaking their hearts through their eyes.
Okay, this place has four different ring rooms, I'm gonna ring down one group in one room and then the other on the other side of the complex. Jacob explained. Johns group was the first to go down. Jacob transported them down on the left hand side of the complex, sensors had showed Missy was being kept on that side. And then Monica's group was transported down on the other side, near the weapons.
This was it. The fight they had all been waiting for in one way or another. The fight for survival. The fight for Earth. The fight for the universe. The fight which will decide the fate of everything.
