Chapter 38!


Jack and Sam exchanged a curious look at each other as they walked down the corridors. Now it was obvious this part of the ship hadn't heard the news of their goddess going down to the planet because few jaffa milled around here. The ones surrounding the rings stiffened as she growled at them in Goa'uld. They returned a stiff jaffa-salute and she beamed herself and the four children down to the planet's surface.

Lightly Jack pushed Ammut out of the ring platform and onto the stone of the temple. She looked very annoyed at this unseemly behavior.

"Keep it moving lady," Jack said to her. "Or ladies…" he added. Daniel tilted his head for a second as if to suggest he was saying 'Too true…' Ammut glanced around warily as if searching for something… or someone. Again Jack shoved her in front of them and beckoned for the team to have a meeting.

Ammut looked at them like she was trying to burn them with her vision. Jack, Sam, and Teal'c kept a close eye on her while Daniel and Djari scanned the surrounding area.

Something's wrong here…

'I know. What though?'

If I knew… I'd tell you.

'Right.'

"Jack, something's wrong here," Daniel stated nervously. His eyes darted around the room.

"I can sense it," Djari said softly. The other three quickly brought their weapons up and realized it was Daniel.

"What?" Daniel's voice was back without a head bob or anything. Just a seamless transition.

"It that another nifty trick of yours Djari?" Jack asked even though Daniel had control of the body… for now. O'Neill slowly lowered his weapon and the other two followed. Daniel waited to speak until all the weapons were down.

"I am sorry to startle you all like that. I should have warned you that… we can switch places at anytime," Daniel finished. There had been a very small pause where Djari and Daniel changed places.

"You are extremely skilled Tok'ra Djari of Sinion," Teal'c said to Djari and Daniel. Daniel smiled.

"She's flattered. Really."

"Snakes can be flattered? How hard is it?"

"Coming from you Jack O'Neill," Djari's playful yet hard voice joked. "Very hard." Jack smiled – it was a snake with attitude and a sense of humor. Not only that, but it seemed to know that telling him it wasn't a snake wasn't going to change Jack in any way.

Sam glanced around at the four walls surrounding them. She vaguely wondered if she had any crayons… or even colored pencils to fill in the spots of color the artist had missed. Rummaging through her sack, Carter found a small stub of a pastel crayon. Looking up in triumph, her eyes wandered to where Ammut was. Sam's face grew worried and she replaced her pastel crayon.

"I hate to break this up guys, but where's Ammut?"

She was gone.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

'Why didn't you tell me about this?'

Jeez, I'm sorry. I didn't know she could do that!

'Ick… it's okay, we should have kept a closer eye on her.'

Yeah probably.

'This reminds me of Harry Potter… you know, the Invisibility Cloak.'

Djari 'rolled her eyes' at him. Daniel felt the mental roll in the back of his head and smiled. It did remind him if Harry Potter and company except they were the Fab Four of SG-1!

"We now have the four fudges, aptly named 'the Fanatic Four,'" Daniel said in a soft announcer's voice talking to himself. "They search for the elusive mygth!" He smiled. Jack, over at the other wall, wondered if blending with that Tok'ra was such a good idea after all.

A breeze of air swept by the four, alerting them to someone's movement. Since no one from SG-1 had moved, it had to be the mysterious Ammut.

Daniel used his enhanced vision and Djari's strange powers to track the disturbances in the air flow. He quickly crept off to a far corner and Jack, Sam, and Teal'c followed covertly.

In the corner, a small invisibility shield was breaking apart revealing the goddess rocking back and forth mumbling to herself in frantic Egyptian. It seemed she was mumbling a long prayer of thanks to Ra and the other gods. And it was being spoken in a human timbre. Ammut looked like she was defeated for now and the host had reemerged. A strong host by the looks of it.

"Em hotep?" Daniel offered soft, but causally. She startled and looked up at the archeologist and his team.

"SG-1…" she said in a distinctly accented voice. "I am…" She doubled over in pain. Jack and Daniel tried to grab her arms.

"I am Tiy." Daniel looked startled.

"You're kidding right?" She shook her head in pain.

"Amenhotep is… was my husband. She is coming—" The woman slumped over and passed out. Now that the threat of Ammut gaining control of the body was momentarily put out of mind, maybe Daniel could explain.

"Daniel. An explanation please?" He sighed. This could take a while.
