Chapter 5: To Arms

U.S.S. Prometheus – 11:15 PM

"Preliminary scans show they have shields. I'm still trying to ascertain what type," Destiny said. "Upon scanning the Valkyrie and the Cylon Basestar, I believe we have the best chance of knocking out their shield generators, allowing the away teams to board the ships."

"Our people have been equipped with some weapons that once onboard should be able to help you shut down the shields on one of the vessels, as well as disable the crew compliment." Hammond said over the comm from the Valkyrie.

"Good," Nyota said. "How long before they use the Stargate to get aboard?"

"They should be gateing aboard now," Hammond said.

"Alright," Shira said over the comm from the Valkyrie. "All ships begin your attack."

"I am detecting more ships coming from the gas giant," Destiny said. "Designs are unfamiliar to me. They do not match the Goa'uld in front of us, nor anything in the Federation database, nor the Valkyrie or Cylon Basestars.

Battlestar Valkyrie – Same Time

Shira, Hammond and Ashley watched the Dradis as both the Valkyrie's Raptor and the Cylon's

Heavy Raider flew toward the enemy capitol ships. So far they had been lucky their Flak systems, coupled with the Valkyrie's Vipers and the Cylon's Raiders had been keeping the enemy fighters at bay as the Prometheus targeted the Goa'uld. The unknown ships that had come in from the gas giant were currently keeping the Goa'uld from leaving. Likely they were waiting to see who the victors were before deciding their next course of action.

"This is the Prometheus," came Nyota over the comms from the Prometheus. "We have disabled one enemy ships shields as well as their engines. We are beginning our assault on the other."

Onboard one of the Goa'uld vessels – Same Time

"Sir," Sam said as she glanced out a window.

Jack turned and followed Sam's gaze. "Isn't that?"

"A vessel from Star Trek," Sam said with a nod as they looked at the Prometheus as its three sections weaved in and around the Goa'uld motherships.. "But I don't recognize the configuration though. I know of no Star Trek ships able to split into three parts like that. The question is what are those other two ships hanging back there."

"One makes me think of an old television show from the late seventies," Daniel said as Sam, Teal'c and Jack looked at him. "Battlestar Galactica. But that ship looks way more militarized than its fictional counterpart. Plus I don't think it has energy weapons."

"Why do you think that, Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked.

"Because I don't see beams of energy like the Star Trek ship is throwing off," Daniel answered. "Of course they simply could be holding back as a last line of defense."

It was then they heard the sounds of battle onboard the ship in the distance. "Boarding party?" Sam asked.

"Maybe," Jack said. "And let's hope their friendly."

Battlestar Valkyrie

The count stood at three hundred Death Gliders destroyed.

Shira let out a sigh. They, the Cylon Basestar and the Prometheus had taken hits from the enemy ships weapons. Nothing that could not be repaired with the required people to do it of course. But the weapons fire was unlike any she had ever seen, some form of energy not unlike what the Prometheus used for its weaponry.

U.S.S. Prometheus

"Second enemy ship's shields are down and it's engines are disabled," Destiny said.

Klorel's Ha'tak

Jack, Sam, Teal'c, Daniel and Bra'tac stepped onto the pel'tac of the port Goa'uld vessel to find only a handful of Jaffa waiting for them. "Where is Klorel?" Daniel wondered as they took out the Jaffa.

"With the ships out there," Teal'c said, "taking out the shields of this vessel. It is likely he has retreated either to Apophis ship or through the Stargate."

Apophis' Ha'tak

The Heavy Raider landed in the ship's landing bay. Caprica Six and nine Centurians quickly exited the Heavy Raider and made their way out of the bay and down the corridor. They encountered their first resistance at the first intersection.

The centurians fired, and the Jaffa returned fire. Two of the Centurians were downed by the energy fire from the Jaffa's staff weapons. They had never seen anything like it. The Colonials after all did not have energy based weaponry.

They proceeded down the corridor. They encountered more Jaffa and lost another Centurian to the enemy fire. Still there were enough Centurians to easily take out the Jaffa so that they and Caprica Six were able to continue on their way.

The stairwell to the bridge level above was just around a corner. Caprica approached first and motioned upwards. "Three centurians follow me to clear the deck above us. The other three clear this deck," she said.

The Centurians said nothing but three of them headed down the corridor as Caprica headed up the stairs with the other three.

0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0

The moment SG-1 had ringed aboard Apophis ship they had been captured and taken to Apophis and Klorel.

"My Lord, these Tau'ri and these two Jaffa ringed onboard from my lord, Klorel's, Ha'tak," Herak started before something caught his attention. He moved over beside one of his men and looked over the Jaffa's shoulder. "Enemy troops approach from multiple directions."

0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0

Caprica and the three centurians came upon the entrance to what they believed to be the bridge.

It was at that moment that SG- 3, 4 and 5 met up with the Cylons. "You would be the soldiers from the planet below?" Caprica asked.

"We are," one man said as he and another man stepped forward. "I am Colonel Robert Makepeace of SG-3. This is Colonel Thomas Armstrong of SG-4. and Colonel Dave Dixon of SG-5. Have you found the Goa'uld? From the moment we boarded all we found are their warriors some knocked out but some still fighting."

"I believe they may be on the otherside of this door," Caprica replied. "We were about to breach it."

Makepeace nodded. "We'll back you up."

"Breach the door," she ordered.

The Centurians setup on either side of the door breaching charges and set them off.

0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0

The doors leading to the bridge split apart with an ear-splitting crack, causing everyone inside to duck instinctively. The Jaffa lifted their zat'nik'tels and aimed toward the breach, ready to deal death to whatever came through. Klorel and Apophis activated their personal energy shields.

Suddenly weapons fire erupted through the breach as thw three Centurians stepped through.

The Centurians weapons fire killed the Jaffa outright.

"This is not possible…" murmured Samantha Carter as she looked at the approaching Centurians. "Those are robots."

"They prefer Centurians," said Caprica as she followed the Centurians in. "I am Caprica Six."

"Makepeace," Jack said upon spotting the SG teams. "Glad you could join the party."

"Glad we could make it," Makepeace said. "These are our people and one of our allies," he told Caprica motioning toward SG-1 and Bra'tac. He then motioned toward Apophis and Klorel who were already exiting the room through a previously hidden door. "They aren't."

Battlestar Valkyrie

"Caprica Six to Valkyrie and Prometheus. Be advised we have SG-1, also be advised they laid explosives onboard the port enemy ship in key areas by the Earth people. It will be destroyed within moments from those explosives."

"Acknowledged," Shira said. "Valkyrie to Captain Reidel, return to the Raptor immediately and launch. The ship you are on has been laid with explosives that is set to explode."

"Caprica," Ashley said. "Can you, your Centurians and the Earth people secure the vessel?"

"Affirmative."

Apophis Ha'tak

"I am moving the ship," Bra'tac said.

Caprica Six pulled out a communications unit from her clothes. "Caprica Six to Basestar and Galactica. We have the enemy vessel and our moving it closer to you." She turned to look at Bra'tac and Teal'c. "Show me how to pilot this vessel."

"Hold on," Jack said. "Why would you …"

"You do not have the ability utilize this vessel, human," Caprica Six said. "If you had space flight you would have not required our assistance. By right this ship belongs to us." She looked to the Centurians. "Escort the humans to the Heavy Raider while the Jaffa show me how to pilot this vessel."

Soon Caprica Six knew what she needed to know to pilot the Ha'tak and Bra'tac and Teal'c were escorted to the rest of SG-1. SG-1 was flown over to the Valkyrie.

Battlestar Valkyrie – 12:45 PM

Shira and Ashley stood before SG-1, 2, 3 and 4, Hammond, the medical teams and Frasier.

"Now that everyone is here," Shira said. "We had ulterior motives to rescuing you. We do not know how we got here, and we of the Valkyrie and the Cylons don't even know where here is. From what General Hammond told me, Captain Jones and Caprica Six, we are fictional characters."

"You are," Daniel said.

"But somehow we've been made flesh. We intend …" Ashley started.

"We should discuss this in private before we make any decisions," Shira interrupted.

Ashley nodded in understanding. "If you will come with me, I will take you over to the Prometheus where we can beam you down to the surface so that you can be reunited with your people."

"Captain Jones a moment," Shira said as she Ashley held back. "Once their down on the surface. We should talk with the unknown ships. They still have yet to attack now that the battle is over."

"Agreed." Ashley said. "We also need to discuss the issue we are supposedly fictional."

"Agreed," Shira said.

In Ethan's Costume Shoppe – 1:00 AM

Ethan Rayne was smiling even though his bloody face was plastered to the floor. "I never imagined I would meet the famous Kitana of Edenia."

Joyce stood over him calmly.

"How do I stop the spell?" she asked.

Ethan began to laugh. "Say pretty ple—" he began, but Joyce aimed a savage kick at his side, leaving him gasping for breath. "Janus," he finally managed. "Break the statue."

Immediately Joyce grabbed it and threw it against the wall, shattering the statue into pieces.
