:only crickets chirping can be heard:

:Elphie Muse comes out: Um...I guess the author is still in hiding from last chapter...so...just go read the chapter. I'll go and try to find the author...

Elphie Muse: The author owns nothing in this story that is recognizable.

"What the hell is going on?" Daniel demanded.

Apollo shoved his why to Sam's side. He lifted up her shirt to reveal a nasty stomach wound. Under the blood they could see black lines radiating out from the wound. Mercury placed two fingers on Sam's neck.

"She's still alive, but her pulse is becoming erratic," she said after a moment.

"Then we'll get her to a doctor," Cameron said, pulling his cell phone out.

"That wound is cursed," Mars said. "I can sense the evil of it from here."

"Can you help her?" Moon asked.

Mars shook her head. "It's too powerful for me alone."

"Ty…gra…" Sam wheezed. She coughed violently, droplets of blood appearing on her lips.

"What did she mean by that?" Jupiter asked.

Apollo ignored them and gathered Sam carefully into his arms. He looked at the others. "You guys need to stay here in case Misuteru attacks."

"I'm coming," Mars said.

"As am I," Uranus said.

"You need to stay Uranus," Mars said. "Your strength is needed here. I can help Sam better than you if need be."

Uranus reluctantly nodded. Apollo headed for the house. "Whoa buddy," Cameron said, blocking his path. "We can't just let you barge into a house that isn't yours," he said.

"Out of my way Mitchell," Apollo snapped. "If we don't get Sam help, we'll lose her. So move."

"Do as he says Mitchell," Teal'c said.

"We can't just let them go alone," Cameron said.

"I shall accompany them," Teal'c said.

"Fine. Let's go NOW!" Apollo said and shoved his way inside. He led the way down to the basement and walked over to the bookshelf. "Mars, pull that book." Mars did as he said. The secret passage opened and they walked in. They were suddenly transported to the lush green forest.

"Where are we?" Teal'c asked.

"Someplace sacred," Mars said in a soft voice.

Apollo ignored them and began running towards the village. "Tygra! I need help!" he shouted. "Kathris! Someone!"

Kathris came into view as they entered the clearing. "Who are…what happened?" she demanded, seeing the unconscious Sam.

"She was stabbed with a black sword," Apollo supplied.

Kathris looked at him sharply. "You are certain the blade was black?"

He nodded. "Help her," he begged.

Kathris took Sam's form and hurried to a nearby entrance. She disappeared inside. While she was gone Apollo pulled the helmet he wore off. Teal'c saw Jack but said nothing. Kathris emerged a moment later followed by Tygra.

"The wound is severe," Tygra said.

"Can you heal her?" Jack asked, the armor still on.

"It will take time, but I believe we can," Tygra said. "I've sent for aid to help cleanse the wound. They should arrive soon. But until they come, we must stop the poison from spreading."

"What kind of poison?" Teal'c asked.

"If we cannot slow or remove the poison from her, she will turn," Tygra said.

"Turn? Turn into what?" Jack demanded.

"She will turn evil," Tygra answered. She looked at Mars. "You are a Priestess, are you not?"

"Yes," Mars answered.

"Then come. I will need your help." The two went into the hut. Jack began pacing around, praying that Sam would be okay.

Teal'c walked over to Jack and sat down next to him. "Are you well?" the Jaffa asked. Several hours had passed since their arrival at the Feathermoon Tribe.

"No," Jack admitted. "One of the smartest, purest people I know is lying in there possibly turning evil. And I can't do anything about it."

"Have faith O'Neill. Colonel Carter is a formidable human."

"I know that Teal'c," Jack said. "I just…I have a bad feeling about this. That Misuteru knew way more about us than she should have."

"Indeed," Teal'c agreed. "Have you any thoughts to her identity?"

"The only people I can think of are Hathor and Nirrti. We know Nirrti is dead because we checked. And I doubt even a Goa'uld could survive being thrown into a cryo-chamber."

The two fell silent. They soon heard hoof beats and looked up. Several strangely dressed people came up and dismounted from horses and large wolf-like creatures. The ones dismounting from the wolf creatures had varying shades of green skin and wore thick furs. The more human looking people wore robes with runes upon them. Without a word they walked into the hut.

"I hope they can cure Sam," Jack said.

"Indeed," Teal'c said softly.

They sat in silence for nearly two hours, both staring at the ground. Jack had picked up a twig and was breaking it into small pieces. As he let the pieces fall through his fingers to the ground, a scream erupted from the hut. The two men leapt to their feet and ran inside, afraid at what they would find.

"You think Sam is okay?" Daniel asked.

"I hope so," Cameron said. They and the eight Senshi along with Mamoru were sitting in the large family room, no one wanting to leave.

"Think Sam'll make it?" Minako asked softly.

Michiru nodded. "She's tough. I'm sure she'll be fine."

"I have a bad feeling though," Usagi said.

Ami nodded. "So do I."

Haruka looked over at the two men of SG-1. "Any ideas on who Misuteru could be? She seems to have a pretty big grudge against you guys."

"The only people we can think of who'd have a grudge against us are dead," Daniel said.

"We're ah, kinda thorough in that department," Cameron said. "Our enemies like to make it an either 'us or them' encounter."

"I hate waiting," Makoto said, pacing around.

As Daniel opened his mouth to say something, the door to the basement opened. Everyone leapt to their feet and waited. Jack stormed out of the door and outside, his armor still on. Teal'c and Rei followed behind him but remained in the house.

"Rei…where's Sam?" Hotaru asked.

"She…she…" Rei began, her voice breaking. Tears flowed down her face. Usagi enveloped her friend in a comforting hug, tears sliding down her own face as well.

"The Priestess and Healers were unable to heal the would inflicted upon Colonel Carter," Teal'c said. His face was expressionless, but his voice wavered, showing his sorrow at losing a close friend.

"She's…dead?" Daniel asked quietly. Teal'c nodded.

"How?" Haruka demanded, her fists clenched in anger.

Rei wiped her eyes as Usagi held onto Mamoru. "The sword infected her. It was corrupting her body. We were able to slow the corruption, but when we tried to Heal her…" Rei broke off, unable to say more.

Jack stood at a cliff top overlooking the ocean. He had finally gotten rid of his armor. His hands were shoved inside the pockets to his black leather jacket. Unshed tears shimmered in his eyes. He looked down and picked up a rock. He looked back out over the ocean. He gripped the rock tightly in his hand, a small trickle of blood sliding out of his palm.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you Sam," he whispered. "But I won't stop fighting until the Ori pay." He hurled the rock into the sea, small flecks of blood falling to the ground. He sighed and looked down at his cut hand.

"You should bandage that. It might get infected," a voice said.

Jack whirled around. His eyes narrowed. "You," he growled, his eyes cold.

Elphie Muse: Still no sign of the author...but I can be persuaded to 'find' her location in exchange for reviews. You'll also get shiny sporks for reviewing with shiny plot pudding. Just review. Until the next update then, review!
