Here's another chapter! Yay! Hope you enjoy it.

To anyone who was a bit confused about last chapter (also to make things clear) Rand has been dead for a while. He appeared to Sam via a dream (that happens a lot to her, doesn't it?). The two dragons on Rand's arms signify he is the car'a'carn, or the leader of the Aiel; most Aiel clan leaders only have one dragon on their arm. Sam is not the car'a'carn reincarnated, but she might be related to him in some other way :hinthint:

As usual, I own nothing in this story.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass...

What was, what will be, and what is, may still yet fall under the Shadow...

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

"So, how we getting in?" Cameron asked, looking at Tar Valon.

"We'll lead," Sulin said, veiling herself. "Once we're inside we'll open the gates for you." She looked at Moiraine. "Just be sure you are ready Aes Sedai." She joined the other Aiel and they faded into the blackness of night.

"They make ninjas look clumsy," Cameron muttered.

"Just don't piss them off," Jack said.

After several minutes of waiting the gates to the city opened and the group of Aes Sedai and SG-1 hurried through. They quickly made their way towards the White Tower, brushing silently past the few townspeople that were out.

Jack looked at the large building, feeling Sam getting closer and closer. "Hang on Sam," he whispered silently. The group made their way through the gates of the Tower and into the building itself. Before they could go a step further, the torches suddenly flared to life and they found themselves surrounded by dozens of Aes Sedai, mostly Reds.

Elaida smiled as the intruders were shoved before her. "Welcome. I am most pleased to see you all again."

"Where's Sam?" Jack demanded. Elaida motioned to her left side and Jack and the others looked.

Sam was staring dully at her friends. Elaida grinned triumphantly. "How the mighty have fallen," the woman laughed. "Siuan deposed, the Blue Ajah outcast, and me as Amyrlin." She lifted her left arm, a silver bracelet on her wrist. She lifted Sam's head and showed them the collar around her neck. Elaida's grin widened. "And the great Samantha Carter as my pet. All is as it should be," she smirked.

"So you did use the a'dam on Samantha," Moiraine said.

"It will be used on you as well," Elaida said. "You will be chained to loyal Aes Sedai and forced to obey them. Just as Samantha was."

"Fight back Sam," Jack said.

Sam didn't reply or glare defiantly at Elaida. "She is completely loyal to me," Elaida chuckled. "Perhaps she is not as powerful as you all thought." Elaida towered over Sam. "Now get to your feet!" she snapped. Sam slowly rose to her feet, forced to obey because of the collar.

"Good my pet," Elaida purred. "Now…kill your friends."

Sam looked at Elaida. "N…no…I won't…"

Elaida grinned when Sam cried out in pain and sank down to her knees. "You will or you will suffer greatly. I won't give you the pleasure of death. Now kill your friends!" she snapped.

"The Oaths prevent her," Elayne said.

"You'll find that is no longer true. I ordered that the Oaths be removed from her and all chained Aes Sedai. Now kill them my pet!"

Sam lowered her head and opened herself to saidar. Before she started any weaves, her eyes fell on her left arm. The dragon glinted at her and she gave a small smile. "I refuse," she whispered.

"What?" Elaida demanded.

Sam lifted her head and stared Elaida in the eye. "I said I refuse. I'll die before I hurt them!" she shouted. She winced in pain and fell to her knees.

"Then so be it," Elaida growled.

Sam blinked when the pain suddenly stopped. She lifted a hand to her neck and pulled the collar free. She smiled and rose to her feet, holding as much saidar as she safely could.

She turned to Elaida. "This ends now snakehead," she said calmly.

Elaida's eyes flared and she tried to shield Sam. The blonde easily overpowered the Red and stepped forward. Elaida shrank back. "P…please don't hurt me…" she begged pathetically.

"I'm better than that," Sam said. "I'll tell you what I'm going to do with you. You're going to be shielded, sent through the Stargate to the Tok'ra who will remove you from the host, and then tossed away like a piece of trash in the desert."

"Nothing of the host survives!" Elaida snarled in a typical Goa'uld voice.

"I was a host from a Tok'ra a few years ago, so I know that's not true," Sam smirked. "Enjoy what's left of your life." She turned to the other Aes Sedai that had followed Elaida. "I don't want to hurt any of you. Stand down and let the Tower reunite. There are no Darkfriends among us." The sisters shielding Moiraine dropped the shield, secretly grateful that the cruel Amyrlin had been dealt with.

"We are sorry for what she put you through," one said.

"It's all right. You were doing what you thought was right. Let the others go," Sam ordered and a few of the sisters left.

"How'd you remove the collar?" Moiraine asked as several Blues took over the shield and led Elaida away.

"I didn't," Sam said.

"Then who did?"

"We did," Aviendha said, walking into the room. She was dressed similarly to the Maidens. "We knew there was a risk of you being captured, so we made a back-up plan," she explained.

Jack rose to his feet and walked to Sam. The two silently looked at each other for several minutes. Without a word, Jack crushed Sam to him. She gripped his shirt, not caring about the pain her back was still in.

The others slowly left the room, leaving the two alone. "God Sam, I was so worried," Jack whispered. "I could feel your pain but I couldn't stop it…"

"I'm okay," she murmured. "You're here and that's all that matters." She looked up at him, tears shining in her eyes. "I'd die without you Jack."

"No you wouldn't. You're too strong for that. A part of you maybe, but not the whole of you," he said.

"Can we not talk anymore?" she asked. He nodded, brushing some escaping tears away. He gently kissed her, his warm hand resting on her cheek.
