A/N: I forgot on the last one to mention something. This, obviously, is my own little AU universe. If anyone is an avid watcher of Stargate, they would realize that at this time, Jacob should not be here. But since I love his character and wanted to write it, I did. Just think of this as an AU universe an all will be well. Thanks.

Chapter 7

"So you're not human, are you?" Mulder asked Teal'c as they walked.

"No, I am not. I am Jaffa."

"Are you the same as that man that was found in Las Vegas?" Scully asked.

"Yes. He once served the false god Apophis as I did The Jaffa are the slave warriors of the Goa'uld and have been taught to believe that the Goa'uld are their gods."
"So, the hole that was in that guy's stomach, is that normal for your kind, or did something happen to him?" Mulder pressed.

"All Jaffa have such a hole. It is where the prim'tah, or immature Goa'uld symbiote, is incubated until it matures. This is the manner by which the Goa'uld have enslaved the Jaffa for centuries. They have altered our DNA to need the symbiotes in order to survive."

"That's fascinating. So you carry one of those things around in your gut then?" Mulder said.

"No, I and a few other Jaffa are now free from this need. A drug called Tretonin was discovered that substitutes for the Goa'uld symbiote."

"So the Jaffa now have a way to become free?" asked Scully.

"So it would seem."

Mulder looked like he was about to ask another question when the whole tunnel was rocked with an explosion. Scully was knocked to the ground and Mulder was forced to cling to the side of the tunnel for a moment. Teal'c stood still in the middle of the tunnel, bringing his staff weapon up in a defensive position.

"What the hell was that?" Mulder asked as he and Scully once again gained their footing.

"I believe that was a surface explosion. It appears that the new Tok'ra base has been discovered."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The first explosion knocked Jack and Sam to the floor. Jack was the first to gain his feet. He was about to help Carter up when a second explosion rocked them yet again. This time Jack kept his feet but saw that a pile of rubble was falling from the ceiling right where Carter lay. He lunged and knocked Carter back further into the side room out of the way of the crushing debris.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Grissom and Sara watched in horror as it appeared that the caving rocks crushed the two Air Force officers just a few feet away. They both stood and were about to run to where the rocks now cut them off from the two officers when yet another explosion shook the tunnel and brought some more rock down, forcing the two to run from the room to avoid being buried as well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Daniel was just passing the lab where Greg was being operated on when the first explosion hit. He staggered into the wall and clung there for a moment. While trying to figure out what had just happened, the next hit came and started small chunks of rock to fall. To avoid the falling rocks, Daniel quickly ducked into the lab.

"What is going on?" Anise cried as Daniel raced in.

"I'm not sure, but not long ago the sensors picked something up that could have been heading this way so it may be an attack."

"I'm almost done here. As soon as I get this thing out and close him back up, I am going to need you to take him to the gate to get out of here. I will be needed elsewhere."

"Sure, I'll just wait here with you as the caves fall in on us. Good plan," Daniel muttered under his breath as the third strike shook them again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ok, now what?" Sara asked as they stood in the tunnel, watching the room they were just in fill with rock.

"Well it seems that you were right that something was up," Grissom said as he tried to remain calm.

"Grissom! We on an alien planet, in an underground alien base that is being attacked by other aliens and that's all you have to say?"

"Well what else do you want? This is as alien to me as it is to you. I don't know what should be done."

"How about we try and find someone else from our group, like that Daniel Jackson or Teal'c. They are going to want to know what happened to their friends and they are probably going to know what to do here."

"Alright, where do you suggest we go look for them? I don't exactly know my way around here, do you?"

"No. But anywhere would be better than here right now as this area seems to be caving in. Let's just get moving, maybe we'll run into someone."

And so Sara started off down the tunnel with Grissom close behind her. They were moving fast and were nearly knocked over by Jacob as he ran around a corner.

"What are you two doing? Where's Sam?" Jacob demanded.

"She and General O'Neill are either trapped behind a wall of rubble back there or buried beneath it." Sara said.

"Damn it!" Jacob swore. Then taking Sara by the arm, he began propelling her the way that he was going as he talked to both of them, "Alright, let's get you two to the gate. That's where I was heading. This is no place for you to be right now. It seems that somehow the Goa'uld found our base and are currently bombarding it from above." He explained as another explosion rocked them again, but they kept moving. "The Tok'ra are about to start evacuating so it's going to be fastest to send you to our evac point where we can send you back to Earth after we get this place cleared out."

"What about Colonel Carter and General O'Neill?" Sara asked as they were about to pass the rock filled room where they had witnessed the two being buried.

Jacob paused by the room and grabbed his radio. "Sam, Jack, can you here me?" He radioed. There was no response. "Sam, are you alright?" He tried again, a little more frantic.

There was a brief pause when O'Neill's voice answered, "Yeah Jacob. We're both alive, but Carter's got a nasty bump on the head and is unconscious. I think my leg is broken and we're trapped in pretty close quarters here. It would be good if you could get us out of here pretty quick; I don't know how much air we're gonna have in here or how long these rocks are going to stay above our heads rather than on them."

"Alright Jack. I'll have to go grab the crystals which are in the gate room. I got your CSI's with me and I am going to send them on to our evac point where they can make it back to Earth later. I'll be right back with those crystals. Hang in there."

"Yeah, we're not going anywhere."

Jacob smiled and once again began making his way with Grissom and Sara to the gate room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Alright, so the Goa'uld are attacking. What do we do?" Mulder asked Teal'c as he helped Scully up from the floor with one hand and pulled out his gun with the other. Scully already had her gun in hand.

"We must get back to the gate to evacuate," Teal'c answered as he began to lead them through the tunnels.

"Alright. Do you think that we might come across any resistance on our way?" Scully asked.

"It is doubtful. It will take some time before the tunnels will be exposed enough to penetrate with ground troops."

Just then, another explosion knocked a pile of rubble into their path, cutting them off from the route that they were taking.

"Is there another way around this?" ask Scully.

"I believe the only other way back to the gate from here would be to use the ring transport. This way," he said and turned around, walking back the way that they had just come.

Mulder and Scully followed after him, wondering where he was taking them.

"Ring transport?" said Mulder.

"It works much like a short range stargate. It will transport us from one location within the base to another fairly quickly."

"Great, another wormhole ride," Scully muttered to Mulder.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As the rubble rained down on Jack and Sam, a large rock smashed into Jack's leg, pinning him where he had fallen as he had knocked Carter out of the way. When the dust had cleared, he could see Carter just in front of him. It appeared that she had knocked her head pretty hard again the wall behind her. She was propped up against that wall with her legs just in Jack's reach.

The space was indeed very tight. O'Neill could see that there wasn't much room beyond what they took up. They were lucky. Somehow he had managed to knock them into a small pocket of cleared area. But that could change at any moment. The rocks that were above their heads were not very stable in their arrangement and another blast like the one that had made them fall in the first place would bring the whole mess down on them.

"Carter," Jack said softly. When he got no response, he reached out and shook her leg as he said "Carter," a bit louder. Still no response. He tried to move closer to her and that was when he discovered that he was not going anywhere.

Pain shot through his leg when he tried to move as the bones grinded against the rock that had smashed into it. "Damn," he grunted in pain. It was then that he heard Jacob on the radio.

Reaching for his radio to respond, he found that it was not where it was supposed to be. He realized that he had heard it somewhere to his right. It was very dark in there and he couldn't see well that way. Reaching his hand out towards where he had heard it, Jack felt around on the ground. When he heard Jacob's second call, he was able to pinpoint where it was coming from and placed his hand right upon it.

"Yeah Jacob. We're both alive, but Carter's got a nasty bump on the head and is unconscious. I think my leg is broken and we're trapped in pretty close quarters here. It would be good if you could get us out of here pretty quick, I don't know how much air we're gonna have in here or how long these rocks are going to stay above our heads rather than on them," he radioed back.

Jacob came back on and said something stupid about hanging in there and of course O'Neill had to call him on it. After that, Jack went back to trying to wake Carter up. He tried shaking her leg once again as he called her name. After about the third try of this, her eyes flickered and she tried to sit up. Doing so, she nearly hit her head again on the rock that was just barely above her.

"Whoa," she said as she quickly laid back.

"Careful, not much room in here," Jack said to her. "Welcome back to the land of the conscious again by the way."

"Uh, my head," she said reaching her hand to the back of her head where she had smashed it against the wall.

"Yeah, I imagine you got quite a concussion when you hit the wall. Me, my leg is broken and I'm pretty well pinned here."

Sam looked down to where Jack was. She could just make out the large rock that was pinning his right leg to the ground. It looked like there was a fair amount of blood pooling around the wound too.

"Sir, you're bleeding," she said suddenly.

"Yeah, and so are you," he said as she brought her hand down from the back of her head with blood on it.

Sam looked down at her hand a little shocked. She hadn't even felt the blood there. Reaching into one of her vest pockets, she took out a bit of gauze and proceeded to wrap it around the wound on the back of her head.

As soon as she finished with this as said, "Alright, that takes care of me. Now, I'm going to need to get a tourniquet on your leg to minimize your bleeding. It looks pretty bad from here."
"Yeah, well it feels pretty bad from here. And I remember the last time you dealt with my broken leg and that was not a pleasant experience."

Sam grinned as she began trying to manipulate herself on her stomach, facing Jack. "Well sir, at least this time I'm not going to be able to try and set it since there's no way I'm going to be able to get your leg out from under that rock on my own."

"Well, your dad is working on that. He went to go get the crystals to grow us a way out of here."

Sam paused for a moment before saying, "Sir, I'm not sure that is going to work very well. When you used the crystals before to get to me and Elliot when we were trapped, it was basically a whole room that we were in so the crystals could not continue to grow beyond the wall of debris that cut us off from you. But this is a pretty small space. And with your leg being pinned under that rock, we're going to be pretty dangerously close to the reaction of the crystals and you saw what happens when someone is caught in that."

"I did?"

"Yes sir. Remember when we had first made contact with the Tok'ra and the Goa'uld spy threw himself into the reaction as they were closing their tunnels?"

Jack winced before answering, "Oh, yes. It wasn't pretty. So how do you suggest that Jacob reach us? There has to be 40 ft or more of rock between us and him and with the Goa'uld attacking, I don't think he's going to have time to dig us out."

"We would never have enough air to last that long anyway."

"See? So what do you suggest?"

"I'm not sure; I just know that the crystals are going to be very dangerous."

"Not much more than just sitting in here waiting for the rest of the room to fall in on us or our air to run out."

"True. But let me take care of your leg first."

"Yes, maybe you can come up with something while you are doing that."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Alright, I'm done. He'll be awake in a moment. I must go see what needs to be done. As soon as he is awake, remove the restraints and get to the gate," Anise said to Daniel as she placed the dead Goa'uld into a container.

"Yes, I'll get him out of here," he replied.

A moment later, Anise and the other Tok'ra that had been in the room were gone and Greg was beginning to regain consciousness. "Wha…what's going on?" Greg mumbled.

"Oh nothing," Daniel said as he began taking the restraints off. "The Goa'uld has been taken out of your head and the base is now under attack, that's all."

"Attack? What do you mean?" Then another explosion rocked the room causing a few stray rocks to fall down. "Well that can't be good," Greg observed as he was able to turn over, off of his stomach onto his back.

"Yeah, we're going to need to get to the gate pretty quick. Can you walk?"

"I think so."

"Good, let's get going then." As Daniel was helping Greg to his feet, another explosion hit, this time dumping a huge amount of rocks and debris in between them and the exit, trapping them within the lab.

It took a few minutes for the two to be able to see through the dust that was kicked up. "Well, that can't be good either," Greg said, coughing on the dust as he saw the new wall of rock before them.

"No, it is not."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jacob, Grissom and Sara had just reached the gate room when an incoming wormhole established. "Great, are the Goa'uld blocking our escape now?" Jacob asked the Tok'ra that was standing by the DHD.

"We're getting an IRS. It's the SGC!"

"Well open the Iris. A fine time they picked to stop by for a visit."

The Iris was opened and a few moments later they discovered that it was not the SGC. Staff weapon blasts launched through the open gate before any people came through. Jacob pushed Grissom and Sara down just in time as a blast whizzed over all three of their heads. The Tok'ra who had been at the DHD was struck in the chest by a blast and crumpled to the floor. Several other Tok'ra who had been coming into the gate room were also being hit or were avoiding the blasts by hitting the ground.

Jacob quickly crawled the few feet over to where a chest was sitting on the ground. Reaching in, he pulled out several crystals and returned to Grissom and Sara. "We need to get out of here fast," he yelled at them as he came to a crouch on his feet. Sara and Grissom did the same and quickly followed him out.

Moments after they had turned the corner of the entrance, the reflection of a blinding flash coming from the gate room could be seen on the walls in front of them. "As I feared, they used a Takunitagaminituron."

"A what?" said Grissom.

"Essentially it's a really sophisticated flash-bang. A full blast will completely knock the person out for a while and leave them temporarily blinded. It's one of their tactics to throw one or more of those through the gate before sending the troops through."

"Troops, you mean that more Goa'uld are going to be coming through the gate any minute?!" Sara exclaimed.

"Not Goa'uld, Jaffa, and a lot of them. Now, I need to go back and get a look at the Jaffa who are coming through so I can figure out who is behind this attack. Can you two get back to where we left Sam and Jack?"

"I believe so," Grissom answered.

"Good, I'll meet you back there." Jacob turned and was about to go back towards the gate room when he stopped and called back to the CSI's. "Do you two have weapons?" He asked them.

Sara reached behind her and drew her gun, waving it at him. Grissom just shook his head. Jacob frowned for a moment before reaching behind him and pulling out a second Zat from the one that was already in his hand. He ran back and handed it to Grissom saying, "Alright. This is a Zat gun. To fire all you have to do is squeeze here," Jacob showed him. "One shot stuns, second kills, third disintegrates. Got that?"

"Yeah, I think I can handle this," Grissom answered.

"Oh, and here's my radio and the crystals. Use the radio to ask Sam how to use the crystals to get them out of there, alright?"

"Yes."

Jacob nodded to them and turned back to the gate room. He ran up to the corner and crouched low as he began to slowly sneak around the corner. Grissom and Sara turned from him and began heading back to where they had left Jack and Sam.
