Chapter 3: PX389-412 Mission

SG-1 is sitting in their cell contemplating the meaning if what Apophis just said.

"What does he mean 'I am valuable'?" Clara asked pacing back and forth.

"I'm not sure," Carter said, "but whatever he means it can't be god."

The team sits silently around. They are waiting for Apophis to return. Clara was cleaning up Daniel's leg wound.

"Sam! I have a question." Daniel said sitting up with Clara's help.

"What is it Daniel?" Sam asked.

"Didn't we blow up Apophis' ship?" Daniel asked with his confused look on his face."

"Indeed it did Dr. Jackson." Teal'c answered, "But remember someone beamed of right before it blew."

"Oh yea! I remember." Daniel responded.

"Well that must have been him." Clara stated bluntly.

"It was indeed me." Apophis said as he walked up to the door, "Now...how are you? It has been awhile SG-1."

"Shove off Apophis!" Carter said rising to her feet.

"Ahhhh... But I can't!" Apophis said signaling a Jaffa to open the door. Apophis walked in the tiny cell, "Get the girl!"

"What? Why me?" Clara said as two Jaffa grab her.

"For amusement!" Apophis said as he shut the door.

"Get back here!" Carter yelled as she ran to the door but as she touched the bars of the door, she was shocked and sent across the room.

"Colonel!" Clara yelled as she was being taken away with a laughing Apophis,

"Sam! Are you ok?" Daniel asked limping over to her.

"Yea! I'm good." Carter said standing to her feet, "Why does he want Clara?"

"I do not know Colonel Carter? But whatever it is it can not be good?" Teal'c said as he helped Carter to sit down. Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c sat in silence waiting for Clara to return. Meantime, Clara was taken into an 'interrogation' room.

"Down!" a Jaffa said as he forced Clara onto the ground on her knees. The Jaffa chained Clara's hands together behind her back. Not to much later Apophis came in with a few more Jaffa who helped hold the struggling Clara.

"What do you want?" Clara asked.

"I want information on the Tarri homeworld." Apophis said as he circled Clara.

"I won't tell you anything," Clara said as she spit on the floor in front of Apophis.

"You will!" Apophis said as he stunned her with a Goul'd weapon (The one that makes them glow).

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Clara screamed in pain.

"In time! You will in time!" Apophis said as he laughed again.

"Never!" Clara said between huffs.

Down in the holding cell the rest of SG-1 could hear Clara's screams.

"Clara!" Daniel said as he heard her scream.

"She'll be fine. Right Teal'c?" Sam said.

"I do believe so. She did rank top in her class on interrogation survival." Teal'c responded.

"Let's hope she does survive." Sam said as they all turned their head to look down the hallway.

"What is the gate address for Earth?" Apophis asked.

"I don't know." Clara answered. Apophis did not believe her so her struck her face hard.

"Of course you know. You just won't tell me." Apophis said angrily.

"You are right I do know but like you said I won't tell you." Clara said with a smirk on her face.

"You little…" Apophis said as he struck Clara repeatedly causing her to bleed and scream. "Let me have your stun gun!" Apophis said to a nearby Jaffa. The Jaffa handed Apophis his weapon.

"For disobedience to your god, I will punish you." Apophis said as he raised the weapon to Clara's chest area.

"How could I disobey a false god like you Apophis?" Clara said weakly raising her head a bit and smiling.

"Insolent human!" Apophis said as he charged the weapon and held to Clara's chest area until she was unconscious.

While he was holding, it to her Clara was screaming her heart out. She finally fell into unconsciousness. Two Jaffa carried/dragged Clara out of the room. Meanwhile, SG-1 sat in silence and listened to the screams and hoped Clara would be okay. Daniel saw the Jaffa coming bring Clara with them and they became happy to see her but their happiness soon turned to sorrow. For they saw that Clara was unconscious. The Jaffa threw Clara into the cell then left.

"Clara!" Daniel said worriedly.

"Major! Clara! Can you hear me?" Sam said shaking Clara a bit.

Clara stirred as she rolled over and coughed.

"Yea I'm good!" Clara said with a weak smile.

"How did you do that?" Carter asked.

"What you mean the fake unconsciousness?" Clara asked.

"Yea!" Sam replied.

"I learned it from a friend back home. I put myself in a deep state of peace and calmness and I black out." Clara said.

"But wasn't Apophis torturing you?" Daniel asked.

"He was but I figured out that after the twentieth time of the same question that I could ignore him and when I was finally ready I forced him to stun me." Clara said. "But you know it really did hurt!"

"I bet it did but we are glad you are safe." Sam said.

"Indeed it is good that you are well Major!" Teal'c said.

"Did you learn anything while in there?" Sam asked.

"Apophis wants our home coordinates so that he can send a weapon through the gate to destroy the SGC and possibly all of Earth." Clara said.

"Oh no!" Daniel said loudly.

"What can we do?" Clara asked.

"You can come with me. Please." A Jaffa said through the door as he opened it,

"Who are you?" Daniel asked.

"I am Matog. I am the Tokr'a spy among Apophis' crew and their a few more of us too scattered throughout his ranks." Matog said as he led SG-1 out of their cell and into a loading bay. "Here you can take a cargo ship."

"Hold it!" Apophis shouted as he walked into the loading bay.

"Go!" Matog said as he opened fire on Apophis.

"Matog...?" Sam started.

"No! Go!" Take this too." Matog said as he handed Sam a disk.

Sam jumped aboard the cargo ship and Teal'c flew it out of the bay of Apophis' ship with fighter planes on his tail.

"Hold on guys." Clara said as she started pushing buttons.

"What are you doing?" Sam asked.

"I am putting this thing on auto-pilot so we can beam down to that planet we came from." Clara said as the ship maneuvered into position. "Now! Go!"

They all got inside the rings and Sam hopped inside in just enough time to make it inside the rings. SG-1 beamed down to the planet.

"Phew!" Daniel sighed.

"Nice thinking Clara." Sam said.

"Thanks!" Clara said.

"Where is the auto-pilot set for?" Teal'c asked.

"It is set for 25,000 light-years away." Clara said as they watched the little cargo ship enter warp space and then Apophis' fleet followed.

"Yes! We escaped." Daniel said as he raised a fist in the air.

"We need to contact Jack." Sam said as she headed for the Stargate. When they reached the gate, Sam dialed out and sent along the SG-1 code.

"SG-1! Glad to hear from you." O'Neil said.

"Equally the same to you sir." Sam said.

"How did it go?" Jack asked.

"We have information for you sir and we are headed back now." Sam said.

"Alright! We have opened the iris for you." Jack said.

"See you in a few Jack." Daniel said as he walked past Sam and into the gate with Tealc's help.Next Clara went in and finally Sam came through the gate.

"Welcome back SG-1!" Jack said over the intercom. "Debriefing in an hour."
