"Jesse, get Ethan out of here," Riley ordered her, as the creature threw Ethan into the wall, knocking him out. Jesse blurred to Ethan's side, grabbed his arm and pulled him back to where SG-1 was standing watching Riley fight the creature. "I hate these guys."
"What are they called?" Daniel asked Jesse, as he took Ethan from her.
"They're called Re'fa. We couldn't think of anything better to call them." She aimed at the Re'fa and fired again, causing it to stop and face her. "Oh, darn. I didn't mean to do that."
"What can bring it down?" Jack asked her, as she blurred to its side and slammed a kick into its knees dropping it to the floor.
"Let's see," Riley started as he joined in the fight alongside Jesse. "They don't like fire, bullets, or us." He grabbed onto Jesse's arm and pulled her back as the Re'fa swung at them with its sharp claws. "Other than that, nothing short of a nuke can kill them off."
"I have an idea." Jesse blurred off in the direction of the infirmary only to return with a vial of the orange serum. "Remember what happened in the lab?"
"Kinda." Jesse threw the vial at the Re'fa catching it right on the chest. It let out a loud screech as it busted into flames. "Cool that works."
"Now we finish it off." She pulled out a knife that she had also snagged from the infirmary. "If the Goa'uld still lives, we're gonna have to fight the damn thing over and over again."
"And we surely don't want to have to do that." He took up his knife and they attacked the Re'fa. Soon it was on the ground dead with them covered in green puss from head to toe. "Okay, that was fun."
"Plus a little on the gross side." Jesse wiped some of the puss off of her face and turned to see SG-1 just staring at them. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"Jesse, look out," Ethan cried out, and she spun around to be attacked by another Re'fa. "Jesse!" Daniel and Jack held onto him as he tried to go towards his sister. "Let me go. I have to help her."
"Ethan, no, we can handle this." Jesse jumped to her feet in one fluid motion and turned to face the Re'fa. "Okay, let's do this another way." She blurred over to it and put her knife at its throat. "Who is your God?"
"Apophis is my God," it answered her in a deep voice, as it looked down at her. "I'm sure that you all ready knew that."
"Why are you here?" Riley came up behind her with the gun pointed at its head.
"I was sent to retrieve the child and execute you if you got in my way."
"Oh, really." Jesse slammed the knife into its chest causing it to roar in pain. "I don't think so."
"You had to have a way to return back to your time," Riley said, as he came up to it. "How were you going to return home?"
"I have a device that allows me to return back to our time."
"A device?" Jesse asked, as she came up to them again. "How does it work?"
"I will not tell you." He then reached up and snapped his own neck. His dead body hit the floor with a thud.
"Damn it." Jesse slammed a kick into its chest and then shot a glance over at them. "How many more of these idiots are there?"
"We should do a check, sir," Carter said to O'Neill, as Ethan ran over to Jesse's side and she wrapped an arm around him. "We need to know if there are any more of them on the base."
"Do it," O'Neill said, as he watched Riley rummage through the dead creature's clothes to pull out what looked like a very thick bracelet. "Let me guess, the device that'll get you guys home." Carter and Teal'c took off to begin the search.
"Yeah," Riley said as he wiped it off on his pants and frowned. "It's written in a language that I don't recognize."
"Let me have a look at it," Daniel offered as he took it from them. "It's a dialect of Goa'uld. It's really old."
"Can you understand it?"
"Yes, but I'll need some time to translate all of it."
"That's great." He then shot a glance over to see Jesse staring at the Re'fa with a concerned look on her face. "What is it?"
"They are some of Apophis' elite guards. Why would he be sending them to find Ethan? Why is he so important?"
"Because he's the perfect host," Janet said, as she came up to them. "I just finished my tests and it proves it. He's the perfect host for a Goa'uld and they all want him."
"We won't allow that to happen." Jesse then walked with Ethan past her. "We're going to go home and take them down once and for all."
"How?"
"I don't have any idea, but I'll figure it out."
