Sorry folks! I know it's been a while since I've last updated. I want to thank all those who have kept up with the story and I want to thank those who have taken the time to review my work. This chapter will be the last- but don't worry I've got a couple of fab ideas for my next one so WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!!

p.s. All the science stuff is completly made up, so I apologise if it doesn't make sense.

Cameron woke up with a jar, he had been dreaming again, with everything that was going on lately, old memories where coming back to the surface and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't force them back down.

It was one particular memory that brought him out in a cold sweat. His father had died a long and painful death and no one knew about it, not even him.

"Cameron you ok?" Kara stood over his make shift bed, her forehead creased with concern.

"Yeah."

Kara watched her brother sit up and rub his face, trying to rid himself of the residual feelings of his dream.

"Want to talk about it?"

"I was dreaming about the day Kortin told us how dad had died."

He motioned for her to sit down next to him, tomorrow would be the end, it was time for the talk they had been trying to put off the last couple of days.

Kara looked out the window solemnly. The night was still and dark. There was no moon, no stars, no light and stillness encompassed them, leaving them to their own thoughts and their own fears, it provided no distractions.

She too remembered every detail that described their father's death; she would never wish that kind of pain and suffering to even the most evil being in the universe.

Kortin's explanation was very factual and without emotion, emotion measured by human standards anyway.

The Keelya had been used an hour prior to SG1's visit and therefore still remained active. It remained active until it reenergized, readying itself for the next time it was needed, and then it would deactivate itself, Kortin explained that this was the most dangerous time to be within it's vicinity as it would assume it's job was unfinished and therefore carry out another execution.

From what their mom told him, Kortin was able to tell them exactly what had transpired between their visit to Suki and their dad's death.

The Keelya had an hypnotic effect on who ever it came into contact with it in it's active state, and focused on that one person until they had died or it had been manually neutralized.

Back on the planet, unable to continue due to the interruption, provided by the rest of the team, the Keelya went into hibernation- until the next time it encountered him.

Once the virus was unleashed into his body, it camouflaged itself amongst the blood cells. The very nature of the virus prevented it from being detected inside it's intended victim. It was designed to only live for as long as it took the person to die and only within their body which was why all the blood tests that were taken yielded a negative result.

It had taken her dad four long weeks to die a long and excruciatingly painful death. The virus, once fully released, it began the task of slowly breaking down his DNA, causing his core temperature to rise, which subsequently resulted in the complete shutdown of his system. His immune system was the first to go, leaving him susceptible to infection and one by one his internal organs began to break down at the molecular level, his heart was the last to go. The pain he must have been in was unimaginable. He held on and fought up until the very last moment, up until he lost.

Hearing her brothers' voice at the edges of her thoughts she came back to the present.

"Kara?"

"Yeah?"

"You ready?"

Nodding she said, "As I'll ever be. Not long left now…"

"No…" Cameron reached over and held his sisters hand. They didn't need to say a single word to each other, their thoughts and feelings were the same.

They held onto each other for a long time not speaking.

"My entire life I've never been scared of anything , I've never had regrets about what we're doing…but right now I'm scared…I know that tomorrow I'm going to loose my best friend…my brother…and I regret the fact that mom and dad will never know how truly wonderful a son they created and how lucky I am to have known this amazing person…I'm proud to call you my brother and I've been blessed to have you in my life…I love you Cam, always have and always will." She said softly into his ear, her voice saturated with emotion.

"Kara…"

Smiling through her tears Kara shook her head, "Don't say anything Cameron, I'm the oldest so I'm pulling rank," kissing him on the cheek she stood up and left to get her stuff ready.

"Me too." Cameron whispered to the empty room, "me too."

In the early hours of the next morning, the three of them arrived separately at the SGC. Cameron went straight into his lab, whilst Kara went to the control room to download the programme Cameron had wrote which would effectively render the gate useless and Daniel set up the small devices around the gate room- these devices would create a powerful force field around them stopping anyone from interfering.

The plan was very simple but its execution had to be perfect. Once the download was complete, Daniel would activate the force field and they would dial the gate. That was the easy part the hard part relied on Cameron's calculations to be right on the money. They would dial the gate address of a planet in the next star system; the planet was equidistant to a collapsing star and their sun. Cameron was able to calculate the exact time the star would collapse completely and the amount of energy it would release. According to his calculations if a wormhole passed at exactly three minutes after the energy was initially released it would force the wormhole to sling shot around their sun and back to Earth, the increase in solar flare activity would do the rest. That was why he had chosen that particular planet, it was in the path of the energy release but far enough away that there would just be enough power to push the wormhole towards the sun, the momentum and the slight gravitational pull would be just right.

Daniel watched from the doorway a million thoughts going through his head, the most prominent thought was how much he was going to miss them and how he wished he would remember their faces when all this was over, but in his heart, he knew it wasn't possible. When they had first come to him with the idea he had been dead against it, so many things could go wrong, but their persistence wore him down. He agreed to help them not to alleviate his own guilt or to exercise his demons but because they convinced him that this was their purpose their destiny, and as crazy as it sounded he believed them and so here he was.

"Cameron?"

Startled Cameron turned round, "Oh, hi."

"Finished?"

"Yeah…finished." Cameron stood up and pocketed the cloak and phase shifting technology that he had disguised as watches.

They walked in silence towards the gate room.

Kara looked at her watch they were right on schedule, fingers crossed they wouldn't encounter any problems.

"Dr Mitchell?"

Kara recognized the voice as she turned around, "General Summers, Sir I thought I'd get an early start on the universal translator programme, and you know iron out some of the glitches."

General Summers looked at her for a few seconds before speaking, "You know you're as bad as your brother when it comes to this place. I want you to take some time off after the next mission, you both work too hard. Carry on."

Saying that he left to attend his meeting at the White House.

Sighing with relief Kara chuckled nervously.

"What's so funny?" Cameron asked as he approached her.

"Nothing, for a second there I thought the General was regarding me with suspicion." Smiling at the look on his face she said, "Don't worry, he thinks we work too hard and is ordering us to take a vacation."

The next few minutes were spent double and triple checking everything. Once all the checks were done, both brother and sister stood up straight and faced one another.

"This is it."

They regarded each other not knowing what to say, it was Daniel who broke the silence.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked one last time.

Kara nodded tearfully as she reached over and hugged him tightly. His own tears sparkled in his eyes as he returned her embrace and kissed her affectionately on the forehead.

"No goodbyes just see you later." Kara said as she stepped aside to allow her brother to say his own farewell.

Daniel grabbed him in a bear hug his voice failing him; Cameron squeezed his shoulder in understanding.

As they walked down the stairs, Daniel spoke the last words he would ever say to them, "Safe journey, I'll never forget…"

Kara ran to him and hugged him one more time, "Yes you will." She whispered.

Daniel waited until they entered the gate room and the blast doors closed behind them. He pulled out the small device from his pocket and activated the force field. He watched as Cameron handed his sister the watch. Sitting on the chair Daniel took a deep breathe and set the computer to dial the gate. Saxons blared at the gate activation, he could hear security teams trying to force their way in but the force field kept them at bay. Cameron had deliberately designed it to rotate in frequency every half second. He helplessly watched as they stepped through the gate. He knew he would never see them again. He would remember these two extraordinary people for as long as he could, before the changes rippled through to the present and the memories would be taken away from him, he remembered them as two people -who spent their whole lives working towards this one moment- if they were successful they would write themselves out of existence, the ultimate sacrifice.

The universe was a strange place- it took away a man, only to grace them with his children and then took them away only to give him back.

A second before Cameron and Kara stepped through the gate they activated their cloak and phase shift device.

They walked cautiously down the ramp as security teams aimed weapons in their direction.

"Did it work?" Kara asked.

"One way to find out!"

There was confusion in the gate room, the security teams couldn't see anything and looked up to the control room for further orders.

Ignoring the hub around them, they made their way to the control room. They knew where they were they just needed to know when. Approaching the officer sat in front of the computer, they tried to read the date and time over his shoulder.

As soon as Cameron saw the date, he let out a triumphant shout.

"What?!"

Instead of replying he hugged her with obvious joy, "We did it Kara, we did it!"

"I want to know what the hell is going on, the gate didn't just dial on it's own. Walter run a complete system diagnostic."

"Yes Sir!"

"Come on lets go."

They headed straight for Daniels lab. First thing was first; they had to find his version of the translation. Kara deactivated her clock as she searched for the scrolls. Cameron remained clocked and on watch outside the room. He had done his bit it was now up to Kara.

Kara searched the room methodically, Daniel had tried to recall where he had kept the documents but because it had been so long, he couldn't quite remember. She finally came across them in a locked glass cabinet in the far corner of the room. She reached for the keys hidden by the book case and opened the cabinet. She was careful not to disturb anything, even though his desk had always been a mess, Daniel had claimed that it was organised chaos; he knew exactly where everything was. She looked at the clock on the wall, it would take her approximately a half hour to write the real translation down from scratch, she had the entire thing memorised. She'd even spent many months practicing his handwriting so that the old Daniel Jackson wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Cameron waited patiently, they'd actually done it, and it was still hard to believe that the dream was now very much a reality. He wondered how he would feel if he came face to face with his parents. The anticipation was both nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time.

Voices coming from the adjacent corridor put him on full alert. He waited to see if they turned the corner, but began to relax when they drifted away.

Exactly half an hour later Kara put the pen down, looked over the translation one more time and with great care locked everything away in it's rightful place, making a quick sweep of the room, she switched her cloak back on, satisfied.

"That's it.," she said to her brother, "All done."

"Good, now we just wait. According to the mission reports they left for PX6-701tomorrow morning, so the briefing should take place at some point today and…"

"…they'll never get there."

"Well there's nothing else to do now," Cameron looked at his sister and gave her a little nudge, "Do you want to go and find mom and dad."

"Yeah, I want to see them together before…you know…"

Together they left in search of the parents they had made this sacrifice for.

Daniel Jackson whistled as he walked down the corridor, he had been burning the candle from both ends with this translation for the past few days, another paragraph and it would be complete and hopefully now they could get rid of the Ori for good. Setting his coffee mug on the coaster on his desk, he pulled the keys off the hook from beside the bookcase and opened the glass cabinet pulling out the scrolls and his unfinished translation.

"What in the world…!" Daniel spoke dumbfounded and puzzled. In his hand, he was holding the translation, it was in his handwriting but he didn't remember writing these words. He looked around his office to make sure nothing had been disturbed and nothing was, he couldn't understand it. He pulled the scrolls out from their casing and set them aside next to the translation, going over it and using his books as reference, he double-checked the translation. The translation was spot on, however he was a hundred percent sure that he had written something else, which he now realised, was incorrect. He just couldn't recall making the changes, unless he did…and couldn't remember doing so. It was baffling to say the least but since he was the only one on the base who stood a chance of deciphering the dialect, it must have been him, there was no other explanation.

Cameron and Kara decided to separate and explore this version of the SGC. Cameron headed straight for the lab that had been his mothers. He stopped outside the door too nervous to go in. When he did finally go in, he found the lab to be empty. Disappointed, though he was, he decided to have a look at what she was working on. Her laptop lay on top of the desk with stacks of files, data from her latest project. So engrossed in his findings he was that he failed to notice the presence of someone else in the room. Noticing movement from the corner of his eye, Cameron tensed up and looked down at the watch, relief poured through him as he realized that his cloak was still on. He turned round only to come face to face with his father.

Unable to move he just stared.

"Dad?"

God he was alive, he was standing here right in front of him and he couldn't hear him.

"Dad, it's me Cameron."

"Come on Sam where are you?" Oblivious to the other presence in the room Cameron Mitchell sat waiting.

Activating the phase shifting side of the device and decloaking, Cameron approached his father. Heart light with happiness, sitting down next to him he watched as he rustled the papers on the desk and attempted to read them. He found himself laughing aloud at the confusion on his face, his mom had been right.

"You know dad, I've gone over it a thousand times in my head, I've dreamed of this moment for so long and here we are and I've no idea what to say. I wish you could see me. I want you to know why we did this… mom, she, was never the same since you died, she missed you every single day right up until she died. She loved you so much…she needed you…and I love my mom so much…it hurt like you wouldn't believe watching her try to move on but she never did. That's why we're doing what we're doing, everything is for mom. It feels so strange talking to you whilst you're stood in front of me; I've had so many conversations with your photographs as I was growing up…" Cameron wiped the stray tears that had managed to escape from his eyes, his voice thick with emotion.

"Cam I just found…" Kara interrupted but stopped short when she saw whom her brother was talking to.

"Dad?"

Cameron was unable to speak.

"Oh my God, dad…" Kara leaned against her brother for support as she too stared at the man in front of her.

"I can't believe it's him," Looking at both of them in turn she said, "You look just like him Cam, it's unbelievable…"

It was at that moment that their mom walked into the lab and closed the door behind her.

"Waited long?" Sam asked.

"A life time baby but you're worth it!"

"Give over Cam!"

"Ow!" Cameron rubbed the spot where Sam had landed a playful punch. "Come here." Reaching out for her hand, he pulled her into his arms.

Holding her close to him in a loose embrace, he kissed her lightly on the lips, "I missed you this morning."

"I know, I'm sorry but I promised Dr Fielding that I'd go over some data with him from the glider test, you know the prototype." She returned kiss.

"Hmmm…" He looked at her intently before cupping her cheek and leaned in for a deeper and more thorough kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too, always."

That afternoon Sam, Cam, Daniel, Vala, Teal'c and General Landry sat in the briefing room discussing the scrolls, unaware of their audience.

Passing a copy of the translation around to each member of the team, Daniel explained that the scrolls indicated that they were the first in a set of four. Each scroll would lead them to four different planets where they would find parts of a disassembled weapon along with instructions on its assembly. The first set of scrolls told of the many dangers they would come across and that only the brave, the true and the worthy would have any hope of getting their hands on the weapon. It warned that the weapon was protected and that any deception would be met with dire consequences. The journey would be long and treacherous but the possibility of ridding the galaxy of such a threat was in itself a reward.

General Landry authorised the mission without hesitation, time was not on their side and they were losing the war, his people had made many sacrifices, faced untold danger but now it was time to take the war to the Ori, it was now or never. He didn't like they idea of being pushed into a corner but God willing they would come out fighting and win.

The mission was scheduled for 0900 the next morning. They went about their duties as normal ignorant of the fact that they had now sealed the fate of the offspring of one Mitchell and one Carter, for they were conceived on PX6-701.

At 0900, they stood at the base of the ramp facing the active stargate, ready to step through it and hopefully bring salvation to the worlds already under the power of their most formidable enemy to date.

"SG1 you have a go!"

"You heard him folks, lets save the universe." Cameron Mitchell said as he took the first step, weapons at the ready.

At the precise moment, they entered the event horizon, Cameron and Kara with their arms wrapped around each other shimmered out of existence, their hearts joyous and elated.
