4 After Icon: Part Five

'Beware'

A/N: Spoilers for Season 8 (After Icon where SG-1 goes to a world where Daniel is wounded at the base being taken over and after my part 1-4, but this is before the next show.) so be forewarned. This is the fourth fiction in my series of what happens between the shows in Season 8.

Thank you so very much for the reviews! If I find a Stargate, I will share it.

Thor's Ship in Orb-it around Earth

Jack leaned on a console with a stern expression on his face, "What can the objects do that makes them powerful and whose are they?"

Michael turned to peer directly in the eyes of Jack. "A few of them are ours and a few of them are the enemy's things. There are even a few we suspect that are not from either. What can they do? Various things are made possible by using them. We just got back from obtaining two such objects. We took back a golden coin and an orb."

"Were they yours, theirs or others?" Jack started to find the conversation was feeling kind of like the ones he had with the Tok'ra.

Michael took the instance as a moment of truth. "Others. They were objects that they found and were using for evil. That was some of the reason why they were following us. The globe can be used to locate certain kinds of items of an ancient race. Tapping on it in the rhythm that is directed on its outer shell activates the globe. I obtained the globe and created a safeguard in the coin. Now, the user touching the coin and it screening the DNA can only activate the globe. Once the globe is activated and the person screened holds it, is it possible to be used. One thing they did not know is that I put a block on their DNA. They were following us trying to get the globe back. Once we did battle, the globe and the coin fell to the earth and humans discovered them. Later, we had them buried in the ocean floor temple."

"If the globe and the coin were in the ocean buried in a temple, why did you retrieve them just now?" Daniel was starting to recall every mention in history of orbs and coins of power.

Drake started speaking about how a group of humans who were trying to find them. Michael was lightly singing a deep tone and listening to his friend.

Keira started looking around at the walls of Thor's ship and seen a picture of Earth outside. What is that sound? She whispered to Daniel and distracted him from listening. "Daniel, when are we leaving? I need to get back home."

"I'm not sure. About an hour or so, and we will be back on Earth. Why, are you ok?" Daniel saw the look on her face start to harden, which was in great contrast to the pleasant persona that always seemed to grace her appearance.

"I'm ok. Just a bit of a headache." Keira was obviously in pain.

"Hey, I could ask and see if anyone else has something you could take. You know Thor could just beam up a bottle of Excedrin or do you need Midol." Daniel was making an attempt to distract his new friend from her pain.

"No, I'm ok." Keira turned from the group and put her hand over her forehead.

Very quietly, Sam talked to Daniel. "Is she alright? Did I hear you say Midol?"

"Just a headache." Daniel concluded to her.

"You or her?" Sam smiled.

"Ha very funny." Daniel lifted his gaze back to Drake.

Drake glanced at the other people who were whispering as he talked, "Any way as I was saying, just before the battle with the enemy we had tried to use the globe to locate an object on Earth of the older ancient race. Years after we crashed here I became aware that the object was used, and I went to investigate. Later, we found the human who took possession of the coin and the orb. He had also found the object and was the one who used it, which was a container that held power and can cause death. We talked to him, and he returned it to where he found it. He then took the globe and coin to one of his temple. I used the only object we had to cause a volcanic eruption to burry it beneath the ocean. Before I did so, I changed the command in the globe to be activated by sound instead of direct physical contact in the rhythm of the pattern on the outer shell. We can use our voice, but humans would have to use machines. I knew the level of technology that would be needed to use it was not invented yet thereby keeping it safe. I always thought that when we were rescued and brought Violet back, we would then go retrieve them. Leaving them there was a way of keeping them safe even if we were killed. There was a tribe that lived near the resting place of the container. I talked to that beautiful people in Africa, and they understood the importance of the object being kept a secret. I told them of a globe and a coin that could be used to find them. Michael told them that if anyone ever came with such items to contact him. Michael had left them with an open contact in his mind if they needed help. Then this really hot girl had the globe, and she found the container. In the end she did the right thing and left it there also."

Michael who rolled his oblong golden eyes when Drake spoke the word 'hot' moments ago and interjected, "When she left the hiding place of the container, we took the orb back. She had the coin at her house in Europe. We just got back from her house where she gave us the coin back. That was not the first time we had interactions with her. She helped us find one of our own objects. It was a triangle of power. The humans who found it, so many years ago in one of the craters that our ship crashed and called the object the Triangle of Light. It possessed the power to enter the fourth dimension and alter time. The safeguard on the object will kill people if they use it incorrectly and revert time to the way it was. After it kills the people who misuse it, the triangle will then dissect itself and create an elaborate maze. The ones who found it called themselves the people of the light or the Illuminati."

Violet began speaking in English very slowly, "Since our people live to be around four thousand years old, the safeguard is set to assess the planet for reoccurring events that are longer than that period of time."

Michael smiled at her then turned back to Jack, "Yes, the safeguard caused an intricate maze or puzzle that would only be able to unravel after the life time of the ones who misused it. The safeguards locked in on your planetary alignment with the other planets that happens every five thousand years. When it was apparent that a human had found the piece to find the triangle, which looks like a clock, we sought him out. He told us he received a visit from his daughter from the future and that she had possession of the triangle intact. I read his thoughts as he spoke, and he was telling the truth. We allowed it to play out, and in the end, she destroyed it. She was meant to find it then who are we to stop her. I had hoped to take it from her once she obtained it, but an evil man tried to take it first. I did help her a little on the way, but she is more then capable to take on such a challenge. She was right in what she did."

"Our races cannot mingle biologically, but yours can and do. We had told her father after all that if the person misused the object then they could be killed and their entire people killed by the safeguard. Even though all humans are essentially the same kind of being there are certain genetic differenced and appearances that are subtly different. The safeguard is made to detect. Back when it was misused the first time here on your planet, it only destroyed the people within the crater. There were a few that had lived who had been traveling far away and were actually mixed with a very different kind of people. The problem is created since in this age of your planet the races have mingled. If the safeguard sought to kill out that person's entire race of mixed peoples, then I was afraid it might kill all humans on earth who have any ancestry with her even if it is the slightest. It was possible to kill out every human on this planet in the means of protecting time. At least she could have altered something in the past and some of you might never have existed."

Everyone listening to the new aliens was in total shock that this had been going on when they were also trying to save the world. Sam had one of her hands covering her neck as it to protect herself as her mind thought over what could have been. My life could have ended or I could have never existed. I've never been married. I've never had a child of my own; all humans killed as if we never were, and vampires.

Daniel had his arms wrapped around himself and so did Jack. Thor even closed his eyes for several moments contemplating the consequences of such an action. He knew that if humans had not assisted them then the Replicators would have killed his entire race. Violet watched them with an expression of pain and fear knowing what this knowledge meant to them. She had no idea it had been so perilous. At that point she noticed that Keira was almost unaffected by the news she received.

Keira tapped Daniel's arm, "Daniel, I want to go home."

He believed the news must have been too much for her. He knew that they were constantly faced with things that could wipe out Earth. With a tear forming in his eye, he took her hand. "Soon." It was the only thing he could bring himself to say. He was hit with the knowledge that this new race of aliens had come into contact with and helped the ancient people fight off the Goa'uld. All of Earth would have been nothing more then a Goa'uld base of slave breeding of hosts for the symbiotic beings.

"Teal'c?" Jack turned to find his friend.

"I am here." Teal'c had the look of a controlled mad man. He also knew that if the humans from SG-1 had not helped him that all of his people would still be enslaved to the false gods.

Jack was sure he had never seen his friend look so glum and angry.

Teal'c had sat down on the floor as he had digested the things they were told. He also thought of several things in his life that were stronger then he was to stop them. He knew these things must have been fate to be so ominous and controlling in his life. Teal'c had accepted them as facts. Now, since he became aligned with the people of Earth he believed that you could make a difference and change things. He wondered inside himself, is everything coincidence or is there a force driving us to a greater way of being? Where would we be if such an evil occurred? An entire planet of beings dead...he lifted his eyes in horror at the thought of bloody corpses covering the face of the planet.

Teal'c locked eyes with Violet as he seen her eyes go completely black with no color. The second before her eyes changed she sent a message to them, Take Heed...Beware! In slow motion, he watched all three of the alien's eyes go black with the total lack of emotion. The depths of the black inhuman oblong eyes pierced space and time. Daniel leaned back and almost fell when he felt the impact of one thought spoken to his mind from the beauty.

Sam took a step back and almost fell into Jack's chest as she found it hard to move. Jack held her arms and pushed her behind him in a protective manner. Surely, something was wrong as even Thor blinked quickly and repetitiously feeling the surge of energy in the room.

Sam felt as if lightning was about to strike as her skin seemed to tingle. There had been a lot of hurricanes and weather related problems this year. Now, she knew there was some evil force by the name of Drago on the planet, and she was not so sure everything was a coincidence.

Jack watched as the claw like talons protruded from the three alien's knuckles and their hands clenched in tight fists as they turned to face the same direction. What unnerved him was they did not turn their eyes or faces in the direction, but simply turned their bodies in a half circle. All Jack was able to do was place himself between Sam and the danger in the room. His team were dressed in their off duty clothing and did not have weapons on them. He knew they were highly trained in hand-to-hand combat, but this seemed to be a battle that included more then the physical. Why is it so hard to move?

What alerted the three companions was coming from across the room. Michael felt it first and shared his mind with his two friends. They felt the presence of Drago on the ship. Michael knew the humans could be wounded more severely due to their thin skin, unfamiliarity of the enemy and the power of Drago's skills.

Daniel gasped and would have yelled if Michael's safeguard over the humans had allowed them to interact more. All he could do was whisper and stare in nightmarish awe, "What is Keira doing with that gun to her head?"

A/N: Yes, I know what I am implying by including a certain 'Icon' into the story from another. Well, after all I did hint that movies were involved. I did so by the characters quoting from them in an earlier chapter. I picked the icon by letting my little kitten jump on DVD cases and see which she started staring at first.

This is where I step away from the fear of my including things in my fiction will not be in tune with the show Stargate, well a little anyway.

What ya think? Please Review!

Smile,
