Chapter Four, Misfortune Returns

"Oh the looks on your faces are just priceless. I only wish you could see it!" Laughed the Master.

Guns were pointed his direction and everyone stood still. Everyone was shocked.

"I thought we might find you here…" The Doctor said, solemnly. "How are you alive, then?"

"We don't have time for that story. Who are your friends?" The Master asked with a grin.

"We're from earth—" Daniel began.

"Ah, yes. The human race." The Master commented.

The Doctor watched The Master suspiciously. "What do you want?"

The Master didn't answer, he was still watching the others, "Oh you just love the human race, don't you?"

Little did they know, Donna had snuck through the gate behind them. "And what's wrong with the human race?"

The Doctor spun around, "Donna!" He let out an exasperated sigh. But he turned back to the Master. "What do you want?"

But clearly the Master wasn't about to say what he wanted. Instead, he just looked down at a watch on his wrist, it was a rather large watch, with more numbers then normal human clocks, and some odd symbols. He flicked a small switch on it and Vala and Donna disappeared.

"Give me the Tardis. You won't see them again if I don't get it." Then he laughed evilly and disappeared,

There was a moment of silence, "Well, this isn't too bad, we just get your ship from the I.O.A. and give it to him." Daniel said, shrugging.

"No. We can't." The Doctor shook his head, looking at Daniel apologetically.

"What do you mean, 'we can't'?" He asked, his voice raising just slightly. "He has my friend, that's a little more important then you're stupid telephone box!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, but if I give him the Tardis, no one lives."

"We can't just let him have those two!" Daniel argued.

There was a crackling sound of radio static and then Mitchell heard, "Sir, the gate was just activated. It has now shut down."

Mitchell looked between the two arguing 'doctors' and the replied, "We'll be there ASAP, Major."

"I'm not going," Daniel argued. "We can't just leave V—Them. We can't just leave them."

"My friend is there too, Daniel. My friend is there too. I don't like this any more then you do, and we're going to stop him. But we can't give him the Tardis.

"We don't even know if they're here any more." Sam added, as a voice of reason. "Lets head to the base. We aren't going to give in, though."

Daniel hesitated for a moment, then agreed, without saying anything. He still looked ready to kill the Doctor.

Vala and Donna were sitting together in a locked room.

"This was not my fault." Donna insisted.

"It wasn't my fault either. " She said defensively.

"Then don't try to blame me."

"I'm not blaming you!" Vala said.

"Then what would you call it?" Donna asked, expectantly.

"I was just trying to make a point. He didn't start making demands until you showed up."

"Oh please, I showed up the same time you did." Donna argued.

There was a loud bang on the door and the creepy face of the master came through the door. "You can be heard from a mile away! Shut it! I'm trying to formulate my plan here. Unless you want me to kill you both now, zip it."

"We're locked up. We should get to talk." Vala argued.

"Fine. Talk. But don't yell, scream or argue!"

Once the door was shut and locked Vala mock mimicked him. "Don't yell, scream or argue…. Blah blah blah." Then she stood up. "Why did they have to take us?"

Donna shrugged. "Who knows, but if we're going to blame people, I'm putting it on The Doctor."

"But now I'm here and my daughter is there…" Vala said, seemingly very annoyed, like it didn't really matter they had been captured by a mad alien. "With him…" She muttered.

"Why is that so bad? They can keep her detained."

"Oh, no they can't. She's never been a very nice little girl. Not that she's little anymore. This whole thing about not being able to remember is probably all a big bluff."

"I'm surprised." Donna said, though she wasn't really. "You said, 'With him' not, 'With them'. "

"Um… yeah. I meant them… Yeah, she's there with them…" She said. "Why does this matter?" She asked.

"I think you should tell him how you feel."

"Oh yeah right." Vala laughed. "I know how he feels. He thinks I'm a big flirt who doesn't care about anyone else. Every time I have the slightest urge to say something, he always does something… says something that confirms what I already knew."

"He'll never know if you don't tell him," Donna pointed out, "He'll never realize he's wrong unless you show him he's wrong."

"Don't." Vala said. "Just don't. If there was even the slightest chance… I would know…"

~*~*~*~

Daniel was sitting trying to figure out a way to help Vala and Donna, when he remembered something.

Adria had been taken over by Ba'al they had to perform a surgery on her to remove him. Vala had left. She acted as if she didn't care about Adria, but everyone knew better then to buy into that one. Vala had just been talking about how she didn't care about Adria, trying to convince him.

Daniel had taken a step forward and said, "Sorry, but it's hard for me to believe that you don't feel something." That's all he'd said. But he'd been thinking two extra words that had been left unsaid, "For me."

"I do." She said, "Satisfaction at seeing their plan fail."

The Doctor, Daniel, Sam, Mitchell and Teal'c, --But mostly The Doctor, Daniel and Sam—spent the next few hours trying to figure out how to find Vala and Donna.

"Vala has a tracking device, but we have whole galaxy's to check!" Sam said, getting frustrated.

"Why didn't you mention that earlier?" The Doctor said, shaking his head. He typed something on a keyboard, and Vala's file appeared on part of the screen, on the other part of the screen was an odd map. The Doctor held up the Sonic Screwdriver to the monitor, and the screen came up with Vala's location. "Looks like we've found our girls." The Doctor said to Daniel.

"Great. Let's go get them." Daniel said, hurrying out to go inform the General.

Twenty minutes later SG1 minus Vala and plus The Doctor were discussing how to get to the planet.

"We could use my ship, but that might be problematic… The Master might be able to commandeer the Tardis."

Soon they were formulating a plan. "He can't get in if it's locked or hidden. We could land somewhere distant from where they are and then go get them. We'll be sure to lock it, and someone can guard it." The Doctor said.

"Good, but what about if he tried any tricks again? I mean, they would have had to gate to another planet with a gate but somehow there is no address in our system. Perhaps we could gate through the gate everyone back home?" Mitchell asked.

"If there is a gate he could beam them out like he did before." Sam reasoned.

"Yes, but he may not know where they're until we find them." Mitchell responded.

"No. He'll know. We're going to need a distraction." The Doctor replied.

Daniel seemed to be deep in though. He was ready to just get up and leave to go get Vala… and Donna. Then he looked up suddenly. "I think I have just the distraction."

Authors' Note: Oh, how we love cliffhangers. I know we have not yet mentioned this, but we love reviews. We find them quite enjoying. Sorry for anything that is out of character. We are trying to do our best to keep them in character while still using our plot of Humor/Drama. Hope you enjoyed!
