By the time they got to their destination the boys were so exshausted from the 10 mile hike through all the deep underbrush that they were about ready to collapse. Even Jack and Daniel who were used to hard hikes were pretty exshausted. The only ones not showing signs of exshaution were their captors and Teal'c. Looking around they noticed that they were in a small well hidden village with only about 30 or so villagers.
"Take the children to one of the holding huts." The leader ordered, "I will take these three to the Dis'tra."
"Wo...wait a minute you're not taking us any where without the kids." Jack moved in between the guys and their captors.
Upon hearing this the groups leader grabbed a zat and shot Daniel, "You will go where you're told or I will shoot him again."
"Ok fine just don't hurt anyone else."
"Good I'm glad we understand each other." Two men then picked up Daniel and lead Jack and Teal'c towards the biggest hut in the village, while the boys were taken to another hut.
=============
"Ke'i" ordered one of the men as Jack, Teal'c, and Daniel were brought before what could only be described as a giant throne. When they didn't do as ordered another one of the men hit them each in the back of the knees causing them to fall to their knees.
"OW.....hey watch it guys my knees aren't what they used to be." Jack protested. Just then the best dressed looking man they'd seen in the village so far came into the room.
"Dis'tra, we caught these men and some children tresspassing into our Cal mah while we were out hunting." The man that had caught them spoke as he kneeled.
"You and your men have done well today, Eric" Dis'tra praised, then he turned to Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c "You what our your name?"
"I'm Jack O'Neill, this is Daniel Jackson, and hes Teal'c." Jack answered pointed indicated the others. "Now tell us who the hell are you and what do you want with us?"
Hearing Teal'c's name Dis'tra's eyes became wide. "Teal'c that is a Jaffa name." Dis'tra hurried over and pulled off the hat Teal'c was wearing and pulled up his shirt. Seeing Teal'c's tattoo and the pouch that carried his symbiote Dis'tra became very excited. "He carries a prim'ta." Dis'tra began to rapidly speak in Goa'uld to the other men in the room, who imediatly left the hut and began to call for the other people in the village to come quickly.
"Yo Teal'c, Daniel whats going on?" Jack, who being the only one not able to understand Goa'uld wanted to know.
"They belive you and DanielJackson to be goa'uld and me one of your Jaffa." Teal'c stated
"Uh...yeah what Teal'c said, but what I don't understand is how do they know all about this stuff." Daniel added in.
"OH FER CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!! once, just, once I'd like to go on vacation and not have to deal with work. I mean is that so much to ask?" They were then lead out of the hut where they were met with a large crowd.
"Di'bro, das weiafei, doo'wa" Dis'tra addressed the crowd. The crowd then began to close in on Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c. When the sun began to go down Dis'tra sent the people away and lead the guys back into his hut.
"I'm curious just how did you people find about the Goa'uld, know how to speak the langage, and where did you get the technology?" Daniel asked once they were back in the hut.
"We have always known. Since the time that the true gods walked the land the knowledge and technology has been handed down from generation to generation, so that we may be ready for the time when they would return." Dis'tra answered, then began to tell them the histroy of the small group of people in the village, not allowing any one to get a word in untill he was done talking.
===================
(A/N: This part takes place at the same time as the upper part.)
"Hey take it easy." Marcis ordered as he and the others were roughly thrown into one of the huts that outlinded the perimeter of the village. After putting the kids in the hut the guards slammed the door shut and locked it.
"Come on let us out of here ya nut jobs!" Phoenix hollered, while banging on the door.
"Oh real smart Phoenix insult the people, that's gonna make them let us out." Trent replied to Phoenix's hollering.
"Well hes right these people are a bunch of nut jobs." Carver agreed with Phoenix. "And what the hell was up with that thing they shot Daniel with?
"I have no idea but I think thats the least of our problems for the moment. Right now we need to stop fighting, put our heads together, and figure away out of here." Macein answered knowing that not only would Jack kill him, but General Hammond would too, if he said anything to his friends about what was posibably going on. Which also ment no use of his powers while the others were around, unless it was a major emergency.
"We're listening to any bright ideas you might have." Marcis commented.
"Well from what I can tell this hut is made out of nothing but wood and nails. So it shouldn't be to hard to pry one of the back boards off enough for us to slip through."
"And how do we do that?" Carver asked.
"Easy. We just need something to....." Trent replied as he paced around the small hut, "I got it, Macein let me have your button up shirt."
"What...why?"
"Because you're the only one with a long sleeved shirt."
"So"
"Trust me ok, I have an idea to get us out of here, that is unless you don't want to get out."
"All right fine here" Macein took off his shirt, leaving him in a tanktop, and threw it at Trent.
"Thank you."
Trent took the shirt and went over to the back wall. He twisted the shirt and then put it around two of the boards. Grabbing both ends of the shirt he started to twist them together pulling the boards closer to each other, until finally one of the boards came lose. Tossing the shirt over his back towards Macein's general direction Trent grabed the lose board and pulled it farther off.
"Ok the first boards off, so now we can get a good grip on the ones that were next to it and get those lose and we should be home free, so to speak." Trent informed them.
"Dude where'd you learn to do that?" Phoenix wanted to know.
"It's not rocket science. If you'd actually pay attention in school once in a while you might...."
"OK....we really don't have time to be getting in to this agrument again right now." Carver butted in. "We do kind of have other things to deal with like getting out of here."
Very carfully the boys each worked their way out of the hut through the hole in the back wall once they were out they set the boards back to where they were as best they could.
"Um...now that we're out of the hut how do we get away with out being seen?" Marcis asked, but before they could think about they heared shouting. At first they thought it was beacuse someone had discovered their escape, but soon relized it was something else because all the people were headed towards the biggest hut in the village.
The boys were suprised when they saw Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c being lead out of the building by some very excited people, first they thought that the guys were going to be hurt but then they heared a man shout out something that sounded like, Di'bro, das weiafei, doo'wa, and then the people all crowded around the guys becoming very excited like their leader and shouting for joy.
"Guys this would be a good time to find some cover in the woods without getting caught." Macein piped up dragging his friends into the woods.
"What do we do now?" Trent asked after they had found a place to lay low near the building the adults were being held in.
"Now you guys wait here. I'm going to get closer and see what I can find out." Macein answered.
"Wait by yourself?" Phoenix asked
"Yes less chance of getting caught that way." Maceim then stealthfully made his way towards the building.
===========
"So you see we have been through much and done much while waiting for your return, my lords." Dis'tra finshed his story.
"Ok first of all let me just say that we're not Goa'uld OK?" Jack jumped in before Dis'tra could say anything else.
"Jack!" Daniel hissed at Jack, then seeing the murderus look start to appear on Dis'tra's Daniel contiued, "You see what he meas is we're not actual Goa'ulds we're just some of their servents. Come here to check out this planet and see if it is worthy of having the Goa'uld return."
"He is correct. The Goa'uld left this world because it no longer suited their needs. That has changed, but before the Goa'uld can return the must know if this world is safe for them to return to." Teal'c contiued the lie.
"Well is our world worthy of the Goa'uld returning?" Dis'tra asked with hope in his voice.
"We are not sure yet you see we only arrived here shortly before your men grabbed us, and have not had the chance to decided. But if you and your people are any indication then Iam sure the goa'uld shall deem you worthy of their return. In the mean time we require rest." Teal'c informed Dis'tra.
"Also we'd like it if you had our young companions returned to us." Jack added.
"Of course I shall see to it myself." Dis'tra left them alone in the building while he went to get the boys not knowing they were already gone.
Macein who had been listening to the conversation though an open window saw this as his chance and carefully poked his head through the window and got guys' attention.
"Hey guys over here." Macein whispered getting their attention. "You look like you could use a hand."
"Macein what are you doing here?" Daniel whispered back.
"Well ya see me and the guys didn't like the room they had us in, so we decide to bust out and have a look around." To Jack, "And no I didn't use my powers to do it."
"Good boy" Jack patted him on the head like a dog as he, daniel, and Teal'c crawled out the window and made a break toward the rest of the group.
"All right folks I know it's dark, but we have to keep moving and stick together if we want to make it back to camp or more importantly the truck. Before are crazy nut job friends can find us. All we have to do is keep following the stream and it will lead us right back to camp." Jack instructed the others. They all noded their understanding. "Good now lets go."
They all started running as fast as they could back towards camp not slowing down for any thing. They were about half way back to camp before hearing any sign of their pursuers. The sounds of their pursuers got louder as the guys began to get tired from the non-stop running and were forced to to a quick break. During this break Macein had an idea.
"Jack I have a plan to slow them down enough for you guys to get back to camp." Macein informed Jack as he pulled him a side.
"Wait what about you?"
"I'm going to drop behind and use my powers to slow them down. It's dark enough that none of my friends will notice and once I'm sure you guys are far enough away I'll transport myself to the edge of camp and meet you there. No one has to be the wiser."
"All right but you better be damn careful, cause if anything happens to you Janet will literally kill me."
After a quick breather they began their full out sprint back to camp not noticing Macein drop farther back and stop to wait for their chasers. Because of his hightened sense of sight Macein was able to see the same group of men from earlier that day, a lot sooner then a normal sighted person. Waiting for just the right moment Macein jump out from behind the tree he'd been using to hide, and managed to knock out about 6 of the 10 guys with his electrical power, then roll for cover behind another tree. The remaining 4 men started shooting their zats at where they thought he was, but unknown to them Macein had transported behind them were he finshed them off the same way as the other 6, Macein then transported to the edge of camp and waited for the guys to show up.
After waiting about half an hour he saw them coming and transported to the back of the group. Not realizing that Macein had even been missing, he along with the others hurried and got all their stuff thrown into the truck and then piled in. Seeing that it was 3:30 a.m. Jack let Teal'c drive since he was the only one that didn't really need to sleep, that way Jack, Daniel, and the boys could finally get some rest on the trip back into town.
===============
A/N: Here are the translations for the Goa'uld word I used in the last two chapter.
Shibio diu = Strangers!
Aray Kree = stay where you are
Kegalo = Silence!
Dis'tra = master
Cal mah = Sanctuary
Ke'i = Kneel!
Prim'ta = the larval Goa'uld symbiote carried by each Jaffa. Also the name of the
ceremony of implantation when a child receives his first symbiote.
Di'bro, das weiafei, doo'wa = People, welcome them, the gods have come!
I think thats all of them. I got these words and translations from
