Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgAlex blinked as he went from the dim lights in the SGC to full blown sunshine. Once again, there seemed to be no one guarding the gate. Jack frowned and Alex could tell what he was thinking. Ambush. Trap. Whatever. It was too simple. The Gau'uld were way too smart for that.
Jack started to talk, "Ok, I want…"
Jack was cut off by gunfire somewhere to the left of him. In less than 30 seconds they were in a full-blown fire fight. Jack was yelling at everyone but no one could hear what he was saying. All Alex heard was, "Someone… go… complex!"
He looked at Cameron who had also heard it. He nodded. Alex nodded back, then got up and ran, Cameron following him. Jack gave a groan. "Not you! Oh, forget it!"
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgAlex's heart had never beaten so fast before. He could see the complex, just down a hill, beyond some trees. But the two guards who were chasing him were getting within shooting distance. And he appeared to have lost Cameron. Come on Rider! He told himself. Just keep running!
Suddenly Cameron burst out of the trees next to him, with his zat out and his cap askew. Alex looked round for the guards. They were gone. He looked around, puzzled. Cameron had slowed and stopped. Alex did the same.
Cameron looked extremely confused. "What the…" Just then he was thrown off his feet and hurtled across the grass. He hit his head on a tree. Alex was startled so that he tripped on a tree root and fell over. This was what saved his life.
He saw a bolt of light get to a point above his head and then go back to where it had come from, somewhere in the trees to the left of him.
Alex lay in shock on the floor for a few seconds, trying to understand what had just happened.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgJack was having problems. Stay on this damned planet and die, or go home and leave two men behind. Well. One man. One damn mature boy. Ok, so it wasn't the actual decision he was having problems with. He came quickly to a good decision. "Ok, everyone back through the gate, I'm going to go and find Mitchell and Alex."
He got up and ran off, leaving the other two teams and Teal'c to cover him. Something strange happened to Teal'c. It almost sounded like he sighed. Then he got up and followed Jack.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgAlex and Cameron were up and running again. They burst through the trees surrounding the complex and stopped.
Alex glanced at Cameron. "You think anyone's in there?"
Cameron stared into the building. It was almost pitch black. He shrugged. "Only one way to find out…"
He straightened his cap and walked into the building. Alex followed closely.
As their eyes got used to the gloom, it was obvious something had happened since they had last been there. Tables were overturned. Rubbish was everywhere. Devices lay fizzing and sparking on the floor and the lights wouldn't work. Cameron raised his eyebrows. He tried to copy the O'Neill eyebrows. But he couldn't quite pull it off.
Alex moved on, and paused at a door with some weird symbols on it. He pointed. "Hey, Mitchell, what do you think that says?"
Cameron glanced at it. "I dunno. Men's room?"
Alex gave him a sarcastic smile. Definitely up to O'Neill standard. Then he impersonated Cameron. "Well, there's only one way to find out…"
With a grand flourish, he opened the door. The first thing he noticed was the smell. It was horrible, a mixture of blood and something else he couldn't identify. If fear was a smell, that would be it. Then, as his eyes became accustomed to the even darker gloom, he noticed two golden orbs, floating.
He took a step into the room. A loud growl came from the corner. It then turned into a roar, loud enough to make the building shake.
Alex slammed the door shut as he realised two things. One that the golden orbs he had seen had been eyes. And two, the "something else" he had smelled had been the same smell that had occurred just after he had been shot at by that strange weapon.
Cameron looked at him, both scared and curious. "Ok, so what the hell was that?"
He was answered by another loud roar and the sound of something throwing itself at the door, which Alex had inadvertently locked on shutting it. Cameron frowned. "On second thoughts, let's not stick around to find out."
A hand with what could only be described as claws on the end of it burst through the door. Cameron yelped and ran. Alex ran after him.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgJack stopped as he heard a cry. A twig snapped behind him and he held up his P90. Teal'c emerged from the bushes. Jack sighed.
"Can't you just shout first?"
Teal'c tilted his head to one side. Then he raised an eyebrow.
Alex and Cameron practically flew out of the building. Cameron's hat was completely backwards now. Alex's hair was all over the place. He yelled to Jack and Teal'c, "Don't just stand there, run! … sir…"
Jack raised his eyebrows just as a huge explosion came from the building.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgAlex and Cameron caught up with Jack and Teal'c , ran past a disorientated army of Jaffa and dived through the gate. Once again, Alex let the cold, hard floor of the gate room knock him out.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgI hope you enjoyed it! I'm sorry it took so long, people kept talking to me over msn!
