Ow. Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow… Daniel swore softly as he limped down the hallways to Adria's throne room. I hate that woman…
Suddenly he stopped. "Guys?"
There, at the doorway to Adria's throne room, was SG-1, Jack, Vala, and a young girl that looked somewhat familiar. Jack turned around.
"Daniel!" he hissed. "You should see this."
Daniel frowned and limped forward to peer through the doorway. He gasped. "The Doci's here."
"That's the Doci?" Vala asked. Daniel nodded.
"How did he get here? The 'gate? But…"
"It's been open for a while now," Sam interrupted. "I think the Ori themselves are interfering with it."
Daniel grimaced. "But why are they keeping it open if the Doci was the only one to come through?"
Sam shrugged. "Maybe there are more coming."
Daniel nodded. "But who?"
Everyone waited in silence for a while when suddenly a great burst of energy could be felt from inside themselves. Soon it vanished, leaving them feel weaker than before.
"What was that?" Cameron muttered. He got no answer. Daniel was staring intently at the Stargate and they could see his expression grow to horror as he saw millions bursts of light shoot through the wormhole. Jack grabbed the door and opened it wider so they all could see what was happening. The light forms gathered at a wall with Adria and the Doci watching. Unexpectedly, the light transformed suddenly to a wall of fire.
"The Ori," Daniel said sadly. "They're here."
The others looked at him in surprise only to have their shock heighten. Daniel wasn't white like a Prior of the Ori anymore…he had turned to black. Daniel didn't notice, as he was intently watching a sudden wave in the firewall.
"The Others. The ethereal war has begun."
