Author's Note: Well, this is the end of Returning Home. I hope you've enjoyed it. Son't forget to start reading the next story in my 'Liz and SG- 1' saga.
"My queen, your first prime is dead, the intruders continue", one of the Jaffa warriors updated Sellet.
"I want them stopped and added to my collection", she smiled, looking him in the face.
"Yes, my queen", he bowed low, preparing to leave.
She stopped him, wanting to say just one more thing to him, "And should you fail your task, your family will be disgraced."
Hurrying away with new energy, he started planning his attack on these newcomers.
A new onslaught of weapons fire was raining down on the powerful shield, trying desperately to breakthrough. The friends new they had to be closing in onto Sellet, because these Jaffa seemed to have some sort of renewed strength and power. They seemed more...motivated.
The shield was holding, and the small group was able to move further and deeper into the building, searching out where they figured the goa'uld would be. As they continued, they came under attack again and again. Soon, however, they were going to have to fight back.
"Madame Elizabeth, the shield is loosing its power over the enemy. It will soon fail to protect us." Laura commented, staring at the contraption in her hand.
Luckily, the shield held until they made it into the main room, and they were now face to face with Sellet and about a dozen Jaffa. When the shield did finally drop, they were peppered with weapons fire, and they sought cover as quickly as possible.
Liz took the first shot at Sellet, who immediately put up her personal shield. Jack, however, soon took that out, allowing Liz another chance at killing her. Taking the opportunity, the main enemy was eliminated, but her minions were still there, staring the team down.
Teal'c, of course, tried to convince them that there was a better way to live, but none of them would listen, insisting that he was a trader. Soon, they were all gone, and the captives were being let free.
Returning to the 'gate, SG-1 smiled to the group around them. This had certainly been an adventure, one they won't soon forget.
"Wise mother, I want you to keep my jacket, as I will keep this robe, in fond memory of one another. But now I must depart with my first friends back to Earth", Liz smiled, hearing the stargate engaged behind her.
"It is understandable. Thank you, again, Madame Elizabeth", Laura also smiled, holding back obvious tears.
"It's been a pleasure", Jack said, walking towards the stargate with the rest of the team.
"Good bye, Mother Laura", Liz waved as she walked through the stargate, and back to Earth.
