Part 13
I didn't have much time, but I didn't care if I made it off this ship or not. I wanted to kill the snakehead and to make him suffer for what he had done.
My team would be safe.
Or as safe as could be expected, as one of us was coming home to her final resting place.
She would be given full honors and a funeral to rival any top officer.
She had devoted her life to keeping the planet safe and this had been her reward.
To have her life take away by a monster.
The world, hell the universe, would be a colder place now that her smile would no longer brighten the day, or her ideals save the world. Her compassion would be missed, as would her drive, the drive that had made the SGC what it is today.
A force to be reckoned with.
My guide motioned for us to stop. I watched as he went to investigate if the hallway was clear.
I crouched down in the corner, checked my watch and saw the seconds ticking by.
I opened the pocket and pulled out the picture of both of us.
What I would give to have that day again. To have her by my side and finally tell her what was in my heart.
That I felt so lucky loving her, that she made a difference in my life.
That she only had to smile and I was lost.
That I knew I would never be lonely knowing her.
That she would only have to touch my hand and I would feel at peace.
That no one could replace her in my heart.
That I was unconditionally hers.
She could ask me for anything. I would never refuse.
That I was a shell of a man till I met her, that she made me want to be a better man for her.
That my love would never falter for her, even knowing she was gone I knew she would wait till I came so we could be together.
Teal'c was right. We had an unspoken understanding, a bond that would never be broken.
We had something more then words could ever describe.
We simply had what we felt for each other.
But, what I would give to utter those three words that would make her mine.
I shook myself out of my thoughts. I had a job to do and then as for what happened afterwards? I didn't care, as long as I killed him and rid this damned universe of his existence. I would do it for my peace of mind but for her also.
I put the picture back and waited to see if it was safe to proceed.
The Jaffa came back and said it was clear. We continued down the corridor and I gripped my weapon. We needed to go up two floors to get to Ba'al.
I wondered if Daniel had made it to the cells that held the villagers.
Was Karina there? Did she survive this nightmare?
I sent up a silent prayer to plead with god to give her a chance, so that she would be able to grow up with out the fear of the Gou'ald.
I checked my watch again and knew that Teal'c would be placing the charges to blow the ship. I hoped the Jaffa would follow him to safety. They were duped to believe that Ba'al was a god when in fact he was nothing but a man who prayed on the innocent with his lies.
We made our way to the next level and were stopped by two guards who were ready to sound the alarm.
My guide was ready to fight, but raised his hands and started to speak.
"Lord Ba'al is not a god, he fears Lord Anubis and if he bows to his power, then we are all doomed. You will be replaced by his drone soldiers. We are no longer an asset to the Gou'ald. We will be eliminated with out a second thought. Come my brothers, let us unite to rid ourselves of these false gods."
I looked at him and saw he was sincere in his words.
The guards had their weapons on us. I had not put down my weapon. I would be able to take one out, but I didn't know if I would be able to kill both.
They looked at me and the guard.
"He's telling you the truth. You've all heard the stories about the drone soldiers. They do not ask questions of their gods and do their bidding. You will be wiped out without a second thought. Come on, join us, we can help you."
They put down their weapons and said they would join our fight. They outstretched their arms and my guide shook each of them.
"We need to get to Lord Anubis' chamber. We need to get there quickly, we don't have much time. The ship will be destroyed. Go and tell our brothers that the time to rise up and join the rebel cause is now."
The agreed and said they would spread the word.
They showed us where to go.
I nodded and went with the guide to find the demon of my nightmares.
We came upon more Jaffa. Some cooperated, some didn't. I felt no remorse for those that did not follow us. They were given a chance and they decided to follow their false god.
The time was drawing near and we were close.
We were about to turn the corner when we heard footsteps behind us. We hid in a alcove and watched as Ba'al stormed past us, followed by two of his guards.
I closed my eyes. We had almost been caught. I had to focus I would not fail. My family was counting on me to avenge our team mate, our friend, our soul.
I waited till I did not hear any more footsteps down the corridor.
I motioned for my guide to see if it was clear. He went ahead and checked the hallway.
I moved closer and peered around the corner.
I saw two other Jaffa leaving the chamber as well as a woman that looked like she was Ba'al's servant. My guide came back. He had inquired as to why their lord was enraged.
The guards said they did not know but knew it had something to do with the new master.
They pulled him aside and informed him that Ba'al was inside with his first prime and another loyal guard.
They were loyal to our cause but the servant wasn't she was his lotar and was loyalties rest with her master.
"O'Neill they said it would be difficult to disarm the guards they know some of the guards do not believe we will be spared once the new master arrives. They are on their guard and would give their lives to ensure the safety of their god."
"Doesn't make any difference they will not stop me from completing my task. Let's move we don't have much time we have to get in their now."
"How are we going to get in? The door is impenetrable, only his trusted guards can access these doors."
I pulled out a grenade and said, "this is the only key I will need. He can't hide from me I will not be denied my revenge."
The guide nodded and went ahead.
I held the grenade this was the first step I would take in extracting my revenge. I looked at my watch and saw I had plenty of time to make the bastard beg and bleed for what he had done and beg he would. I would pour all of my anger, my hate, my disgust of what he had done to me before and what he had done to her in front of us.
I closed my eyes and imagined how he would react.
He would beg me not to kill him to spare his life.
I'd play with him, I'd ask him to offer me power, he would.
I'd ask him to beg for forgiveness he'd fall on his knees and do so.
I'd ask him to grant me anything I wanted. He would say yes to all of this.
As I pull out the knife he used to silence my heart I'd shout.
"Then give me back my life, my love, my Sam you son of a bitch!"
He'd know then that all was lost.
I'd slash his neck there and then like he did her and then turn him around to insert the knife for the final time. In the neck to kill the host.
I would then sit and wait for the ship to blow and for me to finally get to have my peace and my love.
"O'Neill?"
I looked up and the guide nodded to follow him to the chamber.
We stayed close to the wall we were almost to the door when I heard yelling and a crash. The guide stopped and motion for silence.
We heard him cursing a blue streak and one word stuck out.
Anubis.
The bastard was about to be handed his walking papers by his new master. He was upset that he had to serve another.
I gripped the grenade wondering what he would do when he saw me at his door wanting the revenge that I kept me going.
The shouting stopped.
The guide looked to me and I shrugged not knowing what was going on. The doors open and I scrambled back to my hiding place.
The guide was right behind me. We heard Ba'al say he did not want to be disturbed and only come get him when Anubis arrived.
This would be easier then I thought. We would get rid of the guards and then I would go after Ba'al.
I outlined what I wanted the guide to do and he went to talk to the guards.
I watched as he went up to the guards and asked to speak to his lord.
The guards said he was not to be disturbed.
The guide persisted on asking for an audience with Ba'al moving them slightly to the side I started to creep up on them when I heard a familiar voice cry out.
It was female and she sounded distressed. Was it one of the village women?
I had to get my mind to the task at hand.
I moved closer and heard some one yell out and a loud thud against the wall. The guards looked over and saw me.
One came towards me and he didn't stand a chance I needed to get through him to complete my mission.
He would die protecting the scum that had taken my heart away.
I was almost through with him when I heard her voice.
I twisted the guards neck and my knees went weak.
I grabbed onto the wall and knew I was losing my mind. The familiar voice was Sam's but she was dead.
I turned to see my guide stab the guard before he was zatted.
I pick up my P 90 and aim at my target when I hear her cry out for help. I am not going crazy it is her and she's in the room with that monster.
"Oh, god, please somebody, help me! Jack, oh god, Jack, please help take me away from here! Please don't let this animal rape me. Jack!"
My mind snapped.
She was alive and that bastard was about to rape her behind these closed doors.
NO! screamed in my head. Save her, you have to protect her from that bastard.
I reacted I fired my weapon killing the other guard pulled my guide to safety and pull the pin to the grenade.
The doors blasted open.
I had to save her. She was alive and I would do everything in my power to protect the woman that I loved.
I went in and nearly lost control. There was Sam naked about to be raped by this animal.
We looked into each others eyes. She was in shock but whispered my name before she passed out.
I had found my love and I would still get to kill this bastard for all the wrong he inflicted on us.
I moved towards him with one thought.
Revenge would be sweet.
