Chapter 3

"Teal'c! Dial it up!" Screamed O'Neill as he neared the gate, he had just reached the foot of the gate when the wormhole had formed,

"Daniel, go through tell Hammond we are going after Carter, send back up through and make contact with me!" Jack was trying to rush Daniel off, all he wanted to do was to go and find Carter,

"Jack, calm down. I'll do it by radio, I am staying, Carter's my friend to, I can help."

"Ok, send the message, i am going ahead Teal'c track me yeah keep an open radio channel!"

O'Neill set off in to the deep forest, before getting a response from Teal'c, at this point his mind was overcome with fear, the fear he had only had one other time in his life, when he heard the gunshot in his bedroom that had killed Charlie.

Jack had been running for about ten minutes, full speed, he thought he must have run about 4 miles, when he come across a structure, that he didnt recognise, he knew it wasnt Goa'uld, but what was it? Before he had time to think about it 12 guards come on him from every side, he had no escape, now his mind was racing, if he went down what would happen to Carter? Now he saw red, the thought of Carter being tortured in his mind, he lashed out, instantly breaking a Jaffas neck, kicking another, headbutting one he drew down on a far guard, with his berretta, then more Jaffa appeared, the battle was lost, O'Neill, knew it in his heart but he could not give up! Ten of the Jaffa jumped on him, and tied him up, nothing more that he could do except make a commotion.

"AAAAAAAHHHH, get off of me!" As he kicked and shouted, Jack got carried into the structure, not knowing what awaited him.

As they entered the main chamber, Jack shut up, he saw Carter encased in some sort of metal box, with just her head sticking out,

"Colonel O'Neill, you should have gone, theres no way to save me!"

"Carter don't say that, we will get you out!"

"SILENCE!" Boomed a voice from the doorway "Colonel O'Neill, finally I have captured the great earth warrior and his companion, now you will bow down to your god. HER'UER!"

This brought a smile to Jacks face "Ok, yes, like thats gonna happen!"

"Well O'Neill, yes it will, you see this 'planet' that you come to isnt a planet it is in fact a weapons platform, heading for Earth! in 34 minutes we will be in firing range!This weapon, will send your galaxies Sun into a state of super nova, then allowing it to explode and take your pitiful world with it! And if you are thinking of stopping it, I would suggest against it, the device has a fail safe, if it is stopped, the naqueda lined box that Major Carter is in will Explode, and if the box is opened the weapon will start its firing sequence early and just aim for your planet directly!"

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" O'neill again saw red, he jumped to his feet, using all his strength in his body to snap the rope binding his hands, while running towards, Her'uer, he reached for his knife, thrusting it, straight into Her'uer's jugguller, ripping out halkf of his throat in one swift move, looking down on him now as he fell to the floor, Jack checked that the snake in his head was dead. Sure enough it was.

"Leave now!" he ordered the Jaffa, "I command you i just killed your god so now i am your god, because i own all that Her'uer did. LEAVE!"With pure fear the Jaffa left alm,ost to scared to argue with him. "Carter is it true?" questioned O'Neill.

"Yes, sir, he is making you choose, i was tortured in to telling him I love you, now he is using that against you, no going back, one choice who to save ...... Me or Earth!"
