Chapter 3:

Jack was screaming, the pain was too much. The queen kept feeding on him and restoring his life. He was close to breaking. The queen stood close to him, he disgusting voice speaking. "I never felt such strength, your withstand to the enzeim is remarkable. But you will break, with you under my command, we will reach our new feeding ground.". Jack then said: "Might as well kill me.". The queen snarled and fed on him again. But this time he didn't make a sound, he only stared her dead in the eye. Once on the brink of death and his life was restored, something in him changed. He couldn't stop it, whatever it was, he was fighting a loosing battle.

The rescue team was moving through the dark and spooky halls. Sam didn't like this one bit. Once they were at a control panel, McKay and Sam got to work. They pinpointed the location to be somewhere in the lower levels of the ship. Sam sighed in relieve. They found him.

But he wasn't himself. The queen was pacing around in a circle. "We show no fear, we show no mercy, we destroy those who stands against us, tell me, who is our enemy?". Show looks down at a Jack, but not the Jack we know, for starters, he was far younger, his hair was a mud brown, his eyes were glassy, empty. Hollow. He looks up at the queen. "Atlantis.". The queen handed him a weapon. A modified P-90 with Wraith tech built into it. His clothing is the once of the male Wraith. He was even given a mask that he places over his mouth. Which only left his eyes, forehead and hair exposed. To prove his allegiance, he had to shoot a human. Point blank in the head. Placing the mask over his face, he looks at the queen Wraith. He knelt down. "My queen, the mighty Steelesun. I am at your disposal.". The queen known as Steelesun smiles. "Kill the human intruders." She said, pointing a screen.

The team was moving fast. Sam took lead. But they got cut off when Wraith warriors stood behind and in front of them. Then a figured dressed in black with brown hair and a mask covering his mouth. His brown eyes bore through your soul. Showing his hands he said: "Stand down, I will deal with them.".

Ronen got in front and pulled his sword out. The man did the same. But he pulled a Wraith designed combat knife out. Ronen charged forward, the man ducked and sliced through Ronen's torso. Ronen collapsed. John then aimed his weapon at the man. Firing he saw how this thing dodged the bullets. Ronen got up and tackled it. The man then kicked Ronen in the torso and threw Ronen off of him.

Sam then pulled her gun out and aimed at him. "Don't move!" she ordered. "Where's Colonel O'Neill?" she finished. The figure only stared at her, she could feel it smirking. "In time.". The Wraith warriors then started shooting. Sheppard ordered the team to pull back. They made a run for the gate. But they had to split in teams. Sam and McKay ended up in one. They hid and hoped to make it to the gate in time.

But a metalic voice spoke. "Carter, come out to play." It taunted. Sam's breath hitched in her throat. How did it know her name? The worst thought came to her mind, did this thing kill Jack? She had to know. When it passed she came out behind it slowly. "I am here!". The man slowly turned around. "Carter! How's Pete doing?" he mocked. Sam kept her aim.

"You know a lot about me, who are you?" she said. The man sneered. Pulling out his modified P-90 he aimed at her. "You made a mistake coming here." It practically hiss. Sam then said: "I came for a friend." She fired a few bullets. A few lucky hits but it's armor seemed fo protect him. It chuckled. "Bullet proof clothing baby." It bragged.

Sam then pulled out her knife and charged at it. As he tried to strike, Sam ducked and cuts his leg. It grunts and looks at his leg. "You have a nerve.". McKay then shot him in the shoulder. While it was distracted, Sam jumped it. It fell on his stomach, Sam was pulling on his mask. Once it was pulled off, she turned him around and hekd her kife at it's throat. But she got a nasty surprise.

"Colonel?!".

Jack looks at her. "Hello Carter.". He kicked her in the gut, she let out a slight *oof* and dropped on her back. Jack held his gun at her. But McKay was aiming at him. "Move away, slowly.". Jack looks at him. Taking his mask, he hooked it back in place and walked backwards slowly. Sam got up with tears in her eyes. "I don't understand.".

Jack then said: "Guess I am just lucky.". Once oht of view, Sheppard and Teel'c arrived. Teel'c could sense what Sam was thinking. "Impossible, O'Neill isn't the-" but it was unfinished for Sam dug her head in his chest. She was lost.

Once they madecit back through the gate to Atlantis, they were all in a foul mood. Sam turned her weapons in and ran for the quietest place in the city. The further outer parts of the city. She sat there. All alone. The same image in her hand of her and Jack playing pool. "I'll find you Jack, I swear on it.".
