A DEADLINE THAT I'LL HOLD YOU

TO!!!!!

As Teal'c and Bra'tac sat in the middle of the rings they kept a wary eye on the horizon as they waited for the next rendevous. It was strange they had been contacted through the rebellion before they had even sent out a notice. They had already been to 16 other Jaffa who might lend them their ship, none had agreed. As they sat there Teal'c and Bra'tac both got a bad feeling and both jumped up just before an Alkesh bomber uncloaked above them and ringed them aboard. When they were on board they immediately crouched down and looked out for enemies. What they saw surprised them, there were two tied up and unconscious Jaffa each bearing the sign of Anubis on their foreheads. Teal'c called out "Shal'kek nem'ron" then the reply, which came from behind the closed door came in a familiar voice

"Shal'kek nem'ron" they each looked at each other and Bra'tac asked

"Was that…"

"I believe it was, old friend" Teal'c answered knowing full well what the question was. Then they both called out together "Rya'c?!?!?!?!"

Then the door opened and Rya'c stood there in his usual wear with two zats on his wrist gauntlets and a staff weapon he grinned at their surprised looks. Teal'c then scowled "What are you doing here?!?!"

"Lending my ship to those in need. My father taught me to always help those in need."

Then Teal'c muttered something that sounded an awful lot like "I knew he had been spending too much time with Jack." Then Teal'c strode forward and sat down in the pilots seat and plotted a course for Earth, then they were in hyperspace.

As Teal'c sat in the pilots seat, opposite Rya'c as Bra'tac talked to their prisoners Teal'c began a conversation with "So how fares Kar'yn?"

"She is well. She lives Ish'ta most of the time but sometimes we visit Chulak for a few months at a time."

"How is Ish'ta?" he asked.

"She is also well, although she keeps recommending us to have a child together." Rya'c continued. Teal'c shot him a sideways glance as he continued his questioning "Are you considering it?"

Rya'c began a long explanation which the short answer of was "Maybe later." They continued this way for most of the trip and when they reached Earth they were informed that in thirty six hours Anubis would be able to power up the weapon.

As Teal'c landed the Alkesh SG1 along with SG2, 3 and 4 approached with their guns as well as extra ammo and packs for Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c. "We're going to rendezvous with Prometheus in orbit who will be accompanying us."

"Prometheus?" Bra'tac asked Teal'c

"Prometheus is a Tau'ri warship capable of hyperspace journey and can hold several fighters similar to Goa'uld death gliders but far superior." Teal'c explained.

Rya'c seemed in awe that those primitive people could make a warship that sounded like it at least rivaled a Goa'uld mother ship whilst Bra'tac just muttered "Now they have warships" obviously thinking of when Apophis was going to destroy Earth with his son and two mother ships. When everyone was setteled in and ready to go Teal'c flew the Alkesh at just 2 meters off the ground until they could just ascend straight up which was when he activated the cloak and rendezvoused with Prometheus. The alkesh entered hyperspace at two o'clock of Prometheus.

The two ships emerged from hyperspace behind a moon of the planet where Anubis was. The alkesh engaged it's cloak and swiftly flew around to where the six mother ships were staying. After two minutes the Prometheus flew away from the moon and just out of weapons distance from the mother ships. After a few moments several gliders flew out of each mother ship and headed straight at Prometheus which in turn launched 5 X-302's which hung just ahead of Prometheus letting Prometheus take out a large portion of the fighters before they got close and then the X-302's mopped the rest up. Three of the mother ships cautiously approached Prometheus which retreated just a little. The alkesh flew down to the planet and ringed down their prisoners. As the guards approached them cautiously none of them noticed the shock grenades carefully placed in the suits of the Jaffa. Then they went off leaving the area unsecured and SG teams 1, 2, 3 and 4 along with Bra'tac ringed down to the planet in an area in front of the Stargate. They all surveyed the area and Colonel O'Neill noticed all the differences, like the tents, racks of weapons and armour, the generators that were lying around the Ancient device and Stargate which obviously powered the force fields. "SG's 2, 3 and 4 secure this area. The rest of ya's"

"Follow me" Bra'tac told them.

"Yes follow Bra'tac. Exactly what I was going to say, thank you Bra'tac." Jack thanked sarcastically. Bra'tacs only answer was "My honour."

The Bra'tac headed towards the Ancient device but stopping about 20 meters away. Jack called out "Watch out kids," then adding into his radio he said "Okay Rya'c do your thing." Then the Alkesh uncloaked above them and it flew over the ruins to the otherside when the turret popped out and swiveled towards the Ancient device. When everyone had taken cover the turret started firing into the forcefield roughly once every three seconds. After about 20 shots the turret stopped and Rya'c's voice came over the radio, "this shield seems unusually strong." Just then the whine of gliders descended and Teal'c yelled into his radio "Go Rya'c go!!!" Just before two gliders were visible and chased the Alkesh away but just before they were out of view they saw an explosion and when it cleared there was nothing left there. From behind they heard someone yell

"THE RINGS…INCOMING!!!!!!"

Teal'c turned around and saw six Jaffa and one Kull warrior standing in the ring platform. As soon as the rings cleared three Jaffa went down and a Kull disruptor shot missed the Kull warrior and slamming into the force field which left a small hole in it for roughly two seconds before it dissipated. The Kull warrior turned at Teal'c who decided to charge at it. As he ran the warrior aimed at Teal'c and shot a short burst of shots off at him which made Teal'c dive for cover. Just as the Kull warrior approached Teal'cs hiding spot behind a piece of rock two Kull disruptor shots hit into his back leaving it to fall to the ground. The battle was very short lived and the humans didn't have any casualties. Then Colonel O'Neill called out "GREAT!! DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?!?!?!?!" Jack looked around then Carter stepped forward.

"Sir if I may…" she stepped in front of Jack and shot two Kull disruptor shots into it leaving a bigger hole which was soon covered in red electricity and then it faded off. Carter turned to face Jack "Sir, it's possible that due to the electricity that Anubis is introducing to the atmosphere that it is in fact boosting the"

"CARTER!!!! Can you get it down.?"

"Yes sir, I believe that I can." She answered confidently. Jack gave her a nod and she scurried off to find what she needed.

Twenty minutes later Carter called out to Jack who was sitting on the stairs near the Stargate talking to Jack "It's finished Sir." To herself she added I hope. As they were lumbering over Jack saw a set of tubes going from several small tents stationed around and when Carter saw his gaze she explained "It's how Anubis is introducing the energy into the atmosphere. I have figured that the devices in the small tents are actually bringing it up from under the ground. So I am going to introduce it to the Naqhadah in the force field generators so that it might turn the Naqhadah into Naqadria through the holes that we could shoot into the force field with the Kull disruptor."

"Yes" was Colonel O'Neill's only answer. Carter smiled and shook her head. Yes indeed. Then rising her gun she blasted a hole in the force field with the Kull disruptor and several of the S.G.C personnel that had helped her set up shoved the tubes in then jumped off as quick as they could when the force field covered the hole but instead of dissipating away like it had before it stayed visible, electrocuting it. "Now what?" Jack asked.

"Now, we wait." Carter replied with a sigh.

As they sat there they had had to fight off several attacks already but apparently Anubis didn't want the machine damaged so there weren't any heavy attacking or air attacks but they still hadn't heard from the Prometheus or Rya'c. Jack checked his watch 3 hours, Damn it. Then he got up and walked over to Carter and sat down next to her. "Carter, we might have to start thinking about another—" but then there was a small explosion from behind him and sparks flew out of the generators inside the field just before the field gave way and the tubes hit the floor with a small thud. Jack cautiously walked to the field and waved his gun where the force field was. Just then the rings activated and ten Kull warriors in their black armour appeared three were shot with the disruptors straight away. As everyone dove for cover a marine was shot just near Bra'tac who grabbed his gun and awkwardly holding it in his hands he used shot several blasts, three hit one warrior and another slammed into the back of the helmet of another. Jack yelled to Colonel Reynolds "SWITCH!!!!!!"" Colonel Reynolds face was covered in a confused look but then he saw what he meant and he chucked the huge CAR-15 HeavyAssault Rifle M1 which he had to have on a box to fire it due to its weight and when Jack caught it he noticed why but he held onto it and called out to everyone "DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" After three seconds everyone but the Kull warriors were on the floor and Jack shot at head height all in front of him. Although it didn't make much different they were all surprised and it took them a while to recover. Also they all aimed at him so it took all attention off the others until all the warriors were dead. Not wasting anytime he called to Carter "CARTER, GO!!!!!!!!!!!"

She looked as if she was about to protest but then more warriors ringed in and she just gave him a quick nod before making a sprint for the Ancient machine. DAMNED FUG TIME MACHINE, FUG ANUBIS, FUG KULL FUG WARRIORS JUST FUG HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been there done that he thought to himself. This brought a smile and he turned his full attention back to killing the Kull warriors that kept on ringing in.
