(Isha, thank you. I hope you find this part great as well.
Telboriel, thanks. Hope you enjoy.
Stoko, hope I can keep you intrigued. Sorry about the confusion. I might return to the Lantash series another time. I know I left at least one element without much of a conclusion. However, I want to have a better idea on what to do with it before I return. You're right, Anise and "Martouf-With-Zat" are alternates.
Pagan Twylight, thanks. Yeah, it's hard to find stories about the Tok'ra. I had that problem before I started writing the fics.

Sweetangel4, well here it is. Hope it came soon enough.)

The Mirror
Part 2, Demands

Martouf! Martouf! Martouf! Martouf! Martouf! Martouf! Martouf! Martouf! Mart-

I'm awake! I'm awake! Stop screaming at me, Martouf thought to his symbiote.

Please correct my memories. I seem to remember being shot with a zat'nikatel by you.

I remember that too.

Oh...you didn't have a twin you never told me about, did you?

I did not have a twin... Martouf sat up, feeling groggy. Where are we?

We are in a giant cage.

Martouf looked around, and saw he was indeed in a giant, wooden cage. He frowned slightly, feeling tired still. What is wrong with me?

You were drugged. I assume after we were shot. I have been filtering the drug out of your system. Do you realize I have been trying to wake you for an hour?

"Martouf." It was Jacob. "How are you feeling"

"I am well" Martouf replied, and found Jacob in another cage with Samantha. Right away he wished he was in that cage. It was lined with blankets and had pillows. His cage was lined with nothing, and there was not any pillows. He looked around his cage to see he wasn't alone. When did Malek and Kela'an get here?

They came to see why we were taking so long. By what they said I believe I was unconscious for over a day.

"I believe we are still on Kiron" Malek said.

Martouf looked around at the building they were in. It was simple and made of wood like every Kiron building. In fact, the designed reminded him of Kiron style, but it was nearly as large as the temple. "We never built this building."

"I know, and that causes me to believe that they, whoever they are, have been here a while."

The idea of someone looking like him doing who-knows-what on his planet was disturbing to Martouf. He looked to Malek. "Did you see anyone"

"Well, I saw you, and then you shot me."

"That was not me."

"I noticed." Malek turned to the other cage. "Jacob"

Jacob was looking around the place as he spoke. "I went to investigate when I thought I heard the zat'nikatel. I saw Martouf and Daniel lying there, and then was shot in the back. I never saw anyone else."

Martouf stood up, and looked to a third cage. This one was lined with blankets, had no pillows, and held Daniel and Teal'c. He frowned slightly, and looked to Jacob. "Why do we get the worse cage"

"I don't know" Jacob responded, who was wondering why he happened to be in the same cage as his daughter. He preferred it that way. He could check on her, and was worried she still slept. Selmak had assured him that if she was injected with the same drug, it was not doing any harm, and just keeping her asleep longer.

After confirming again that they all basically knew nothing, they waited for the others to wake. Teal'c woke up first, with Samantha and Daniel waking soon after.

"I saw Martouf" Daniel said. "Then he shot me."

"Did you not see the real me lying there unconscious" Martouf asked.

"Yeah, I did...as I was losing consciousness." He gestured slightly with his right hand. "Un-until I was shot, I had no idea anything was wrong. I followed you out because you seemed upset."

Martouf smiled slightly. He had a lot of respect for Daniel. "Thank you."

"Well, you're welcome." Daniel seemed to clear his throat.

Matouf took a glance over everyone. "I believe we have established that the other me has a good aim."

Kela'an was slightly offended by this. "In Malek's and my defense we thought he was you at first. We did not have any indication otherwise."

"Until he shot you."

He nodded lightly, and made a slight shrug. "Well, yes."

Jacob chuckled. "Sam and Teal'c"

Sam frowned. "I was shot by Anise, and I think she shot you, Dad."

Jacob looked both surprised and embarrassed. "I was shot by Anise"

"When I came out you were already shot, and she was there. We both fired, and...Teal'c, what happened after that"

"I aimed my staff weapon at her, but she ran. I followed her in pursuit, however I was shot in the back."

Kela'an frowned. "By the other Martouf"

Teal'c turned to him. "I did not see who shot me."

Daniel frowned to this. "Wait, so all five of us were taken out by two people? We are usually better than that."

"Well, they certainly had the element of surprise" Martouf said in a slight defensive manner.

"True. None of us would have had any idea that seeing Anise would lead to being shot at. This all still doesn't really make any sense. Why would Martouf and Freya capture us, and keep us on a planet where both stargate command and the Tok'ra know where to find us."

"I think there was more than two people" Samantha added, backtracking the conversation slightly. "Other than Dad and Martouf I sensed at least three other symbiote. With two being the other Martouf and Freya, that leaves an unknown third person."

"I find it most interesting that you are able to sense other symbiotes" said someone who sounded like Lantash, but it was the other Martouf with the symbiote in control. "Or rather, I find it interesting that you used to be...blended, but no longer are." He took a step closer, still looking mostly at Sam. "Why do you spend your time with these Tok'ra" He followed the question with a sneer towards Martouf/Lantash, Malek, and Kela'an.

I think I know why we got the worse cage, Lantash thought.

Not really expecting an answer, Martouf's double moved to the cage containing most of the Tok'ra. "Where is the mirror"

Lantash took control because his host felt uneasy about this. He didn't feel much better about the situation. "The what"

Alt-Martouf's symbiote rolled his eyes slightly in an angry manner. "The...mirror. You must have it. The Tok'ra would have gone to you for help."

Now Lantash was confused. "The Tok'ra coming to us for help? We are the Tok'ra."

Alt-Martouf's symbiote sighed. "I didn't mean the Tok'ra of this universe. I meant the Tok'ra of my universe."

"The quantum mirror" Daniel said suddenly. "That would actually explain a lot."

Alt-Martouf's symbiote gestured to Daniel. "Yes, the quantum mirror." He turned back to Lantash, and his eyes flared. "Where is it? I demand you return it to us."

"Who are you"

"That is not your concern"

"What's a quantum mirror" Lantash turned to Daniel.

"Well, it's a way of traveling. Have you heard the theory 'anything that can happen, will happen?' The mirror takes people to parallel universes. Martouf...this Martouf...must be from a parallel universe. So must the..uh...Anise."

Samantha frowned. "If that's the case..." she trailed off, realizing it might be best if the other Martouf, or rather his symbiote, not know what the effects of being in the same universe with your double is. She looked to the second Martouf. "You don't like the Tok'ra, which indicates you are..."

"Goa'uld" Lantash finished, feeling sick that an alternate version of his host was taken by a Goa'uld.

Alt-Martouf's symbiote glanced back and forth, and then turned back to Lantash. "How you feel about what I am does not concern me. Return the mirror to us, and we will let you go."

"We don't have the mirror. I never even heard of it."

"I am not a fool. I heard the...our Tok'ra's plans to gain help. They would have gone to you."

"Well, they didn't find us."

"I demand its return" Alt-Martouf's symbiote pulled out a zat'nikatel, and aimed it at Kela'an. "Or people start dying."

"If we work together, perhaps we can figure something out" Selmak said.

Alt-Martouf's symbiote turned towards him. "Work with Tok'ra"

"Yes, perhaps" Selmak stopped when seeing someone else enter, not the host of Anise, but..."Apophis"

To be continued...
