Chapter 8: Sekhmet's Fight

Sekhmet grinned as they came to Chulak. Horus walked over and bowed to her. "We have finally arrived at Chulak," he said.

"Good, now get my ship ready," she ordered.

"Right away," he acknowledged.

Nefertem walked over and bowed to his mother. "Mother, I would like to speak to you," he commented. Sekhmet was about to answer when she faltered. She grabbed the side of a railing and Nefertem grabbed his mother's shoulders. "Mother?" He questioned.

"I'm all right, my host is trying to fight back," she confirmed.

"My host hasn't fought back yet," he mentioned.

"Your host was a warrior in training; he doesn't have the power to fight back."

"Your host was a warrior."

"Yes, but I have to take control of her before she takes control of me."

"A wonderful plan, mother."

Horus entered the room once again and bowed. "Your ship is ready," he remarked.

Jack was sitting in the living room with Sara in his arms. Sara cooed and grabbed at her father's shirt collar. She was so beautiful to him, just like his wife. Sadness plagued his heart at the thought. He turned on the radio only to have a song that reminded him of Sam.

Life can be distance between us.
Days, even years could pass on.
But the love that lies between us, will
Always be worth holdin' on.

Together forever always
From the dawn, til the end
Of each day. No matter
How far away you are, we're
Together forever always

I could try to forget you, but the
Memories keep lingering on.

But the dreams I dream about
You keep me holdin on.

Jack kissed the top of his daughter's head and looked at her. "If only I could save her from becoming Sekhmet. It's not fair," he mumbled. He lifted Sara up so she was looking at him and smiled. "You need your mommy, angel," he sighed. Sara's little hands touched his face and cooed.

Together forever always
From the dawn, til the end
Of each day. no matter
How far away you are, we're
Together forever always

Together forever always
Rom the dawn, til the end
Of each day. no matter
How far away you are, we're
Together forever always

Just then, the phone rang and Jack stood up to answer it. "Hello?" He asked.

"Jack, its Daniel," the caller stated.

"Any news on Sam?" He asked.

"Her ship has been found at Chulak. We have to get to her before she leaves," Daniel explained.

"I'll be right there."

Jack hung up and knew that he'd have to let Sarah to watch her while he was off-world.

Once he came to the SGC, he placed Sara into Sarah's arms and then he got ready to go to Chulak.

Brai'tac stood there waiting for them. "We must hurry, I found your wife watching over the camps that were formed maybe three days ago. I would not know, Ry'ac and I had to hurry through the Stargate before they took us into the camps. I was able to get a glimpse and Samantha O'Neill before going through. She has been turned into Sekhmet," Brai'tac explained.

"I am aware that my wife has been turned into Sekhmet, but what about Nefertem or her brother? Are they around her?" He asked.

"Yes, they refuse to leave her side."

"She is their Queen, however, I know my wife better. She's fighting Sekhmet, I know she is."

"All we have to do is get her to Jacob. Jack, you need to surrender yourself to Sekhmet, that way we can get to her. When you get her alone, Teal'c will knock her unconscious and we'll carefully get her to a sarcophagus to save her," Daniel explained.

Jack nodded then they hurried through the Stargate.

Sekhmet watched as the Jaffa began to work. However, she didn't know that her guards were knocked unconscious that were at the gate. Jack removed his weapons and handed them to Daniel. "Wish me luck," Jack mumbled. Daniel nodded and watched as his friend walked off.

Soldiers surrounded Jack and he raised his arms. "Don't shoot, I'm unarmed. I surrender," Jack admitted. They then marched Jack off towards Sekhmet.

Sekhmet watched as Jack was brought to her. "What should we do with the prisoner?" Her leading soldier asked.

"Take him to my tent, I'll deal with him myself," she replied.

Jack stood in the tent and winced as they shoved him to his knees. "I wish you wouldn't do that," he mumbled. Sekhmet then entered the tent and stood before Jack.

"Leave," she ordered.

The soldiers left and Sekhmet stood very close to Jack. She raised him and smiled as she touched his face. "I can see why the host chose you as you as how you say it 'husband'. You are a very strong and handsome man, Jack O'Neill," she commented.

"I'll take that as a very good compliment, considering the gray hair I have," he remarked.

"SILENCE!" She hissed.

She circled him and examined him. "You could make an excellent host," she stated.

"I would rather not have another one of those snakes put in my head," he mumbled.

"SILENCE!" She hissed again.

Jack decided not to listen and glared at Sekhmet. "If I was able to kill you without killing my beloved Samantha, I would. However, I know that she's fighting you," he said.

"Lies," she snapped.

As soon as she said those words, she grabbed the arm of her chair and hissed in pain. "I told you she's fighting you," Jack jested.

"The host is strong, but not strong enough," she snarled.

She raised her hand and began to draw energy from Jack. Jack fell to his knees in pain. Teal'c then knocked Sekhmet over the head and at the same time, Jack fell. "Get her out of here," Brai'tac ordered. Jack stood up with Daniel's help and they got Sekhmet back towards Earth.

In the infirmary, Jack looked at his wife to see her restrained. He stroked her hair and sighed. Jacob hurried in and Jack stood up. "We have to get her to the sarcophagus immediately," Jacob demanded. They got Sekhmet towards Jacob's ship.
