Every comment helps! Anyways this chapter is like five times as longer as the first one because it was going to originally be two chapters but then I decided to just combine them…hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1. Stay Awake

P2X-373. Or as Jack had more appropriately named it, Bointsville.

" I do not understand your reasoning behind referring to this planet as such, O'Neill," Teal'c said tilting his head to the side, like he so often did when Jack created some new ludicrous catch phrase.

" Because this planet is boring, pointless, and snoozeville." Jack replied knowingly.

He patted Teal'c on the back as a lopsided grin lit up his face. Carter rolled her eyes but smiled none the less. Daniel went ahead completely ignoring him. " What, I thought it was clever!" Jack scoffed, pretending to be offended. He looked at Carter for a response but she just shook her head and readjusted her hat.

" Sure, Sir," She said not even bothering to hide the unconvincing tone in her voice.

This conversation had taken place after they had made radio contact with General Hammond. They had already been on the planet for over an hour before their scheduled update.

In that time they had seen rocks. Lots and lots of rocks. Because that's all there was. No people, no proof that a city might have once stood there, no fossils to prove something had, millions of years ago, happened on this insignificant planet.

But Daniel had wanted to stay; convinced something would eventually turn up.

" We have not even checked half of the planet yet," Daniel had whined into his radio. Carter had been almost positive that she might find large deposits of naquidah buried underneath all the rocks.

So to his luck, Colonel O'Neill and SG-1 were allowed to say on the planet for eight more hours.

Each had gone their separate ways; Daniel in search of the non-existing life forces, Carter to find naquidah that the SGC so desperately needed, and Teal'c went off somewhere to patrol who knows what. Which left Jack to guard the gate.

The planet seemed to be broken up into four areas, the stargate being the focal point, so that any way you went you would be able to reach the stargate within ten minutes flat. That was the last thing he remembered Carter saying before he tuned her out.

A small beeping jerked Jack out from deep within his thoughts. He glanced down at his watch to make sure he hadn't imagined it. Nope, he was right, their time on this boring-as-hell planet was up!

Jack jumped up stretching his arms and legs. " Oh Daniel," Jack called sweetly into his walkie-talkie. " Play time is over. It's time to go home now."

No answer. Either Daniel was exasperated with Jack's annoying tone or his connection sucked.

" Daniel," The Colonel said more seriously. Nothing.

Jack had been looking forward to tearing Daniel away from his work ever sine he had been forced to stay on Bointsville. Oh well, busting Carter's butt would almost be as rewarding. After all she was partially responsible for this as well.

" Paging the Nutty Professor, I repeat paging the Nutty Professor. It is time to return to the bat cave." His response was silence. Was this ignore Jack day? " Major Carter?" Oh what the hell? Was his radio broken? " Teal'c," he said gruffly.

" Indeed, it is I."

O'Neill did a double take completely surprised to finally have been answered. " Teal'c?" He repeated in case he had imagined his response.

" Have I not previously answered this same question, O'Neill?"

" Oh, uhh no. I mean yes. It's time to go big guy."

" Shall I make my way to the stargate then?" Jack could picture Teal'c with his one eyebrow raised up.

" I think there's something wrong with Carter and Daniel's radios 'cus they aren't answering. I'll go round them up and meet you at the gate." Jack added quickly while he altered the gun strapped across his back.

" Dr. Jackson passed me a few minutes ago complaining that he couldn't find anything on ' his side'. I will be more sufficient in locating him."

" Right. Meet you there." Jack gathered up the remainder of his things and set off in the location Teal'c had went. It only took him a couple of minutes before he could see Teal'c's silhouette looming in the distance. Daniel was undoubtedly hunched over some archeologist tools begging that he needed more time. By the time he walked up to them Teal'c was frowning deeply at a crouching Daniel Jackson.

" Our devices seem most ineffective here, Daniel Jackson."

Daniel faced him with a stare Jack recognized as what-the-hell-is-he-talking-about? " Our walkie-talkies aren't working." Jack translated snatching the paper Daniel was coloring on. He supposedly was trying to do a rubbing of a crack in the rock.

" Mine is working fine, I just turned it off," Daniel said gesturing to his walkie-talkie. Jack almost exploded.

" You turned it off ? OFF? Why the hell would you turn it off?"

" I thought I might have an easier time luring a villager out if they thought I was alone," Daniel said shrugging it off. What villager? In order for there to be a villager there need to be a village. And there wasn't one! Scientists!

" Well did it work?" Jack retorted trying to keep his voice even.

" Well, uhh, not exactly."

Sometimes O'Neill wanted to strangle that kid. But then another thought formed in the back of his mind. What was the deal with Carter? Daniel, he could understand him turning off his radio but Carter was a trained Major. She knew as well as he did not to turn off you're only chance of communication. Ever.

His chest started to vibrate as static shrieked out of his radio. Daniel who was busy checking his tracker jerked his thumb over his shoulder. " It's Sam. She's down over there."

O'Neill relaxed a little. It made perfect sense her radio was obviously busted. You're just being paranoid. But for some reason that sinking sensation wouldn't go away.

oOoOo

For the first time in awhile Jack O'Neill was the first member through the gate. ' Luckily' Jack thought as he just barely stopped himself from tripping over his own two feet. He knew he would never live it down if the rest of SG1 had seen his gracelessness. It was one thing if he had dove through the gate to escape danger, but being a klutz and working in the air force did not go together.

Daniel and Sam stumbled through the gate next. Samantha caught herself much more quickly then Jack had, but Daniel tripped over himself and landed on Carter. As Carter tried to untangle their limbs Teal'c flew through the gate and tackled them further away from the gate. Lucky for Daniel, Sam, knowing Teal'c would never stop, had twisted her leg out so Teal'c fell to their side, just barely elbowing Daniel in the back. ' Real professional guys,' Jack thought as he watched them in amusement.

Teal'c jumped to his feet with his staff weapon raised in case an enemy was watching nearby. O'Neill pulled Daniel, by his jacket, to his feet, while he extended his other hand to Sam. Daniel was turning a raspberry color as he realized he had started the whole thing.

" Not a word, Jack," Daniel said in a warning tone.

Jack gave him the most innocent look he could muster. " Wouldn't dream of it."

Jack gave them the signal and they started walking, Jack and Teal'c in the lead, followed by Daniel, and then Sam who was walking as fast as she could with her hurt leg. After a few minutes, Jack lowed down to where Sam was walking. Staggering, may have been a better way to describe it.

" You okay?" Jack asked indicating to her leg, which looked like it was jetting out in an irregular way.

She mumbled a " Fine, Sir" before looking away completely embarrassed.

" If anything you managed to stop Teal'c from squishing Daniel," he offered only half mocking her. They both simultaneously glanced up at Daniel, who was still nursing his back and muttering to himself. " What happened back there, Major?"

Samantha stopped walking and turning to face him. " I was thinking about that, Sir. I believe when we were establishing the wormhole-" O'Neill held up his hand to stop her. Why had he even asked?

" Never mind, Carter, never mind."

They continued walking in silence, stopping occasionally as Daniel tried to convince them that cracks in the rocks were actually fossils. Sam occasionally walked around crunching numbers into her hand-held.

" What did you say, Sir?" Carter asked casually glancing up from the rock she was studying. Jack gave her a dead panned look. " Uhh, never mind," she added quickly.

Carter had definitely been hanging out with Daniel too much, she was getting weirder.

oOoOo

" So you agree with me then?" Jack looked up, dazed, to see Daniel giving him an earnest look.

" Yeah, sure," O'Neill said not willing to admit he had once again been ignoring Daniel.

Daniel looked at him beaming in excitement, but slowly it turned to a frown. " You weren't listening to me, were you?"

Finally, he's starting to get it!" The Colonel silently noted. " Not a word, Danny Boy."

Daniel stalked away closing the gap between him and Teal'c. Real mature Daniel.

" Son of a bitch!" Jack yelled out in surprise. His hand automatically clamped over his arm that was starting to bleed.

" What did you do?" Daniel accused.

" Nothing! I was just walking and felt a sharp pain in my arm." Jack removed his hand and saw a thin cut across his arm. He wasn't near anything sharp, how did he get cut?

" I see no evidence of an object that could do that kind of damage," Teal'c said as he examined the area.

" Keep moving," Jack ordered. " I'll get it bandaged when we get back to the SGC…" His voice slowly faded. " Did anyone else hear that?"

Daniel and Teal'c looked at him questioningly. " I didn't hear anything, Jack."

He heard it again. It was like sweet music and gunshots all at once. It was a sound he had never heard before. Before he realized what he was doing he took off running. Teal'c was shouting something after him that he couldn't hear. He finally stopped as couple of feet away. Slowly he took a step forward, before he even looked up he could taste vomit in his mouth.

oOoOo

Daniel and Teal'c dashed after him. Daniel looked up just in time to watch Jack completely disappear. Some kind of advanced technology Daniel guessed, even though he couldn't quite prove there were even life forms on this planet, let alone advanced ones. " Teal'c?"

" I have not previously encountered power such as this, Daniel Jackson."

With only a slight hesitation Daniel stepped where Jack last had, but he could not move any further. An invisible wall seemed to be blocking his way. Using his shoulder, he shoved at the air but could still not move forward. Teal'c fired his staff at it, but all the staff did was light up a force field type device.

" Jack!" Daniel yelled a couple of times as he continuously pushed against the wall.

oOoOo

Jack was used to blood. He'd fought many battles in his day; hell he'd fought wars. Death was almost second nature to him now. He'd had friends die in his arms, three in fact. What he saw now shook him up. A town -no, civilization more like it- butchered. But what he saw didn't make any sense.

Up until a second ago he had been surrounded by rocks, but now… Was this some kind of new teleportation device?

Hundreds of people were torn to pieces, scattered in front of him. Men, women, even children had limbs torn from them and were completely drenched in their own and others blood. Most looked like they had been killed in a simple shot. Others were splattered with blood; their legs completely snapped in two, those were the ones who had tried to escape the slaughter.

Everyone was dressed in gray. To camouflage with all the rocks? That would be Jack's best guess. The crimson blood shone, completely sticking out, just like the lady wearing green. Carter.

O'Neill froze, grabbing onto a rock in fear that his legs would buckle underneath him. The fear lasted only about a millisecond until he was out of shock and ran to Carter's side.

Jack could hear Daniel and Teal'c yelling out his name while pounding on the force field that held them out. It was better that way. Teal'c was used to seeing many people murdered, he used to be the one doing it, but then there was Daniel. Daniel could never see this.

Jack threw himself to his knees in front of Carter begging that it wasn't her. Even without the uniform he knew he could have spot Carter a mile off but now he pleaded he was wrong. He wasn't.

Her green uniform was splattered with red, coming from everywhere. There was more blood than he thought anyone person had. Her blonde hair might as well have been dyed red. Bruised, bloody, and broken, that's what she was now. He placed his fingers along her neck trying to feel her pulse. Blood was pouring out of her mouth covering his hands, making it impossible for him to keep his hands on her neck. Where was it? Her pulse had to be there! She wasn't -she couldn't be- not Carter. Oh God, he couldn't lose her. Not again. Not without a fight.

" Carter, squeeze my hand." He had given up on trying to feel a pulse so instead he picked up her black hand and squeezed it gently. Her hand almost snapped between his grasp. Her hand didn't move though. " Come on, Carter, do it."

Carter didn't move, if anything she looked paler. God she was almost transparent.

" It's an order damnit!" He all but shouted at her.

" Jack?" Daniel's voice had cried out from behind the force field. He finally realized that Jack was just on the other side.

" Daniel, go dial the gate! Teal'c wait here," Jack knew they were looking at each other completely confused. " Did I stutter, Daniel? Go NOW!" The tone he had yelled to him shocked him right as he said it. Jack's voice never sounded so urgent, and harsh, and cold. The last time he has used that tone was with Sara, right after Charlie had found his gun…

O'Neill ripped Carter's jacket off and scooped her up. Blood was pouring out of an open wound in her stomach. She was beginning to tremble all over. Her head slumped as Jack made his way back to the edge of the force field. He didn't know what he would do if he couldn't make it through. Carter would not die in his arms. That is if she wasn't already dead.

Please let us get through, the Colonel silently prayed. And he never prayed.

O'Neill found himself face to face with Teal'c. He looked behind him and the horrible image disappeared, all he could see was rocks.

" O'Neill, what has happened…"

Jack placed the body that had once been Samantha Carter into Teal'c's arms. " Get to the gate," he whispered almost too quiet for Teal'c to hear.

Jack stood silently with his hands jammed in his pockets as he watched Teal'c run towards the gate. His heart was pounding in his ears and his mind was racing. He didn't know what had happened, how hundreds of people had died and not he, Daniel, or Teal'c had heard even the smallest cry. He didn't know what the force field thing was, or why only he and Samantha could get in. He didn't know much, but he did know he was going to kill the son of a bitch who did this.

Daniel awkwardly stood at the open gate. He had seen Jack mad before, he had gotten Jack mad plenty of times before, but his voice had been different. It frightened Daniel. What happened to make him sound so cold? He would find out soon enough. Sooner then he would have ever imagined.

Teal'c ran faster. He ran faster than he had ever run before. It was hard to avoid the rocks in hope to not to cause Major Carter more pain then she was already in. He pushed himself to go faster. Even one second could make all the difference.

Major Carter lay unaware of everything in Teal'c's arms. She could no longer feel the sharp pain in her side or the explosive concussion on her head. She couldn't even feel the life slipping away from her.

A/n- once again thanks for the responses! I hope you enjoy this chapter, I had a lot of fun writing it, especially because I got to add some dialoge this time. I know things are a bit confusing but they'll clear up as the story progresses. Now for all of you who might be confused the " prologue" was like in the future type thing and now everything is going back to the beginning and will lead up to where it started. If you have further questions just email me. Also if you are confused by the italics, they represent either a memory or someone's thoughts, it's easy to tell the difference so you shouldn't have much of a problem. Please send more reviews!
