Stargate: SG-1
Title: One More Day
Author: Jeremy Scott
Part 7/7
Previously on Stargate SG-1: SG-1 is sent to P4X-355 for acquisition or destruction of a weapon under Jaffa control. The weapon is set to fire at the sun and the team tries to escape the blast only to be flung back in time.
Jack and Daniel go to Earth to find a calibrator and a crystal while Sam and Teal'c look on the planet for anything that could work for their escape. Jack and Daniel get captured by the NID and then make their way to Minnesota where Jack is intent on getting the supplies and seeing his son Charlie, and possibly changing the future.
Teal'c and Sam meet the legendary Can'al and find out that these people are would be conquerors of time. After being sent on by the Can'al to the caves to find a crystal, they are found by Tal'nia who tells them what her people are planning. Their lives are attempted, but they manage to drive off the first wave of killers. After a battle with their assassins, Teal'c convinces them that they are being used and they should rebel, the people unite under the cause.
Back on Earth, Jack and Daniel manage to get the calibrator but the search for a crystal is called off. Jack decides to go see Charlie. Daniel finally convinces Jack of what truly would go wrong if he went through with his plan they leave. They fly to South America and then get on a boat headed to the frozen wastelands. The captain is soon found out to be working with the NID. After setting up a ploy, Jack and Daniel make a run for the gate and are able to seal up the fissure they escaped through and gate back to 355.
Now the Conclusion...
The gate flashed open. Jack and Daniel walked out of it and looked around the place. There were several people guarding the gate entrance.
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Halt stranger, you are under the imprisonment of the Can'al!"
"Really...and I suppose you'll want us to put down our weapons and come quietly too?"
The Can'al looked at one another rather confused as to why this man seemed to be brushing off their superiority. They switched on their Vibe- blades pointed them at Daniel and Jack.
"WHOA!!! HEY! You wanna point that screwed up Norelco somewhere else?"
"You are under our capture, you will come with us or suffer death."
"Now that's where you're wrong, ya see, I don't suffer death. I'm allergic, ask anyone."
Jack fired his P-90 and the guards scattered. He stopped and looked around for any of them and the two ran towards the woods. He started doing recon to see if he could find any signs of them near their location.
"I really hate this planet."
"What are the chances they've captured and killed Sam and Teal'c?"
"I highly doubt that. These guys aren't the sharpest sticks. I doubt they could fight a glee club to a stand still."
Jack picked up his radio. "Carter, Teal'c respond."
"Carter here sir."
"What's up with the Panama people?"
"Their people designed what they call the Time Dialer sir. Right now they're looking for a way to get their hands on us so they can find out more about Earth."
"I take it they're planning a bit of a conquest?"
"Their leaders are sir. Teal'c and I are heading into the Can'al village to stop them now. We've got several Can'al on our side."
"Give me the coordinates of this city Carter, we'll meet you there."
"Yes, sir. It's good to have you back sir."
"Yeah, just get the coordinates to me."
"We've got a war going on?" Daniel asked in a puzzled fashion.
"Ya see, they got to do something interesting, I got stuck with Major Morality."
"Major Morality?"
"No way you're getting higher rank than I am."
The two waited and started receiving the coordinates and they made for the village.
Carter and Teal'c took up post at the edge of the woods where they could see the village perfectly. They saw several individuals moving around, but all of them looked not to be doing anything on the offensive. Teal'c pulled one of the Can'al down to him.
"Are there any others meant to attack us if we enter the city?"
"There are some guarding the Chaappa'ai, but I believe Tor'ena would've set some patrols in the surrounding woods to make sure that weren't so easily surprised."
"Do you have any projectile weapons?"
"We have a few, but mostly they are outlawed. The leaders felt that if we were to kill something doing it face to face would be best so we know the true nature of killing."
"There is a lesson in that, however in this case we should expect them to be armed. What are these projectile weapons?"
"They are sun darts. It fires darts with a laser point to them. Nasty bit of work on our parts, the beam cuts through things and the dart being weighted with drag down, making an incision like cut."
Carter looked at them. "Your people truly are disturbed. That's a torture weapon."
"As a matter of fact it was designed for that purpose. Just in case we ever captured a Jaffa or Goa'uld, we'd have the means to extract information."
"You would not have any means to extract information. Most Jaffa will welcome death over dishonor. And a captured Goa'uld would abandon his host to take another."
"Your words are of no comfort Teal'c."
"They are not meant to be. When one decides that their path must involve torture, one has made the decision to face consequences that he has or has not made himself ready for."
In the trees they saw a stirring. There was a click over the radio indicating that O'Neill and Daniel were in place. Teal'c looked back at the Can'al.
"Here is the time of the struggle, there will be those of you who may fall in combat, and some may fell others. Remember this day that no matter the outcome, you have fought to regain that which you have lost, your honor."
Most looked at him with a basic understanding, but a few couldn't keep their eyes off of the village. The stirring in their souls said that what was to come was their own fault. Had the chosen to tell Tor'ena that they were no killers, but scientists they wouldn't be planning on pitting themselves against their people. Carter tried reassuring them that this was a common feeling when someone's not used to battle. They merely nodded with half-hearted smiles. Teal'c stood firm as stone.
He started looking through the ranks and split them up evenly between Carter and himself. "My team will head east of the village yours will head west Major Carter. We will try to take out their defenses. O'Neill and Daniel Jackson will give us cover fire."
"Carter to Col. O'Neill."
"O'Neill here."
"We're about to start our run. You and Daniel need to present cover fire for when we flush out our problem children."
"Got it."
"Carter out."
Jack looked back at Daniel. "I still give orders in this outfit
right?"
"You're the man Jack."
"Yes, yes I am."
The two took point and before too long the familiar sounds of a Staff Weapon and a P-90 filled the air. There were people in the village screaming they were under siege. Jack fired his P-90 and a red burst came from the direction he fired. He smelled burning wood and the distinct sound of a tree being cut.
"Carter, what the hell are they shooting?!"
"Laser Darts sir. Be careful."
"Thanks for the heads up!"
He moved further up the brush and found one of the guys firing the darts. A random succession of them came screaming over his head. Jack looked up and fired, killing the man. The dart gun fell to the ground and rolled. He took out his Zat and fired it three times until the weapon disappeared. He figured he'd have his chance to get another one.
Daniel took off with his .45 in hand. He went into the village and started pulling away people that got his with the darts. Most were bleeding messes. Several of them looked up at him. One not but two steps away from death's door spoke to Daniel. He questioned why this had to happen. Daniel could offer no answer, as he slipped off to sleep Daniel merely held the dying man's hand. He looked up and there were fires all over the village, dying people. And then Teal'c appeared out of the trees. He fired at an armed man and of course he fell under the blast of the Staff Weapon. He looked to see a bullet riddled Morana. He saw O'Neill charge through trying to reach him.
"Teal'c what the hell is going on here? We leave for a couple of days and you find a way to start a war?"
"These people fight for a freedom from tyranny. We have merely took up their cause because our lives were threatened too."
"Well as long as you had a reason."
Teal'c looked down at Morana whose expression was that of shock. He looked around the village like a sentinel. By this point the enemy had thrown down their weapons.
"TOR'ENA!!! COME AND FACE ME!"
A laser dart came screaming from one of the buildings. "You and your infernal people! You've ruined everything!"
O'Neill dropped to the ground and signaled Teal'c. He was going to circle around the building. He took off to the woods and Teal'c shut down his radio.
"Carter, come in."
"Carter here. You and Daniel take up point around the south and east points, I'm taking north."
"Yes sir."
Both Carter and Daniel ran and made their way to position behind other buildings. O'Neill let out a flare and Teal'c turned his radio back on. He pointed his staff weapon and a dart fired one more time. Teal'c dropped and rolled quickly getting a gash put across his chest by the dart. Then a hail of bullet fire started. The moment seemed to slow itself down. In moments the wall collapsed and Tor'ena fell down. He crawled to where his weapon lay and he picked it up. He pointed it at Teal'c and tried squeezing the trigger. Teal'c got out of the way and grabbed the weapon from the dying leader's hand.
"The reckoning of your people has done this to you. Your plans of conquest have been your undoing, and even now at the doors of your Gods you still do not see it. Your people will survive Tor'ena, and I hope with the freedom from your plans they will live and prosper where you would hinder them."
Tal'nia looked at her dying leader and just bowed her head. She looked back to SG-1 and gave her appreciation.
"You have no idea what you've done for us this day."
"Well, we like to think it was nothing." Jack said.
"It was indeed something. Our people already see the path in which Tor'ena and Morana had planned for us. And there are whispers that they are glad it ended this way and not in our total annihilation."
"Well, let's see here. We've got our calibrator and no crystal, so we'd best find one."
"Uh, sir...," Carter pulled out the diamond.
"Then I think it's about time we went home don't you?"
"Will you not stay for a celebration?"
"No, no. Our job is a thankless one, we're all in it for the exploration, not the parties."
Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c looked at him. Jack looked with a weird expression on his face. "What?"
Daniel and Sam smiled to one another and shook their heads, Teal'c merely raised his eyebrow and walked away. Jack followed them.
"Let's go home people."
"Jack, are we okay?" Daniel asked.
"No, and I don't expect we will be for awhile. Let's just get home, and we'll talk about it more later."
Carter looked at Daniel with concern. "You two have a rough time?"
Daniel looked at the ground ahead of him with a downhearted look. "You don't know the half of it."
