Gate Room
Hathor gathered the men who were under her control, leading them to a room with housed a large circular monument and a sarcophagus. Hathor stood at the base of the monument, the men surrounding them Ryou.
"What is that thing?" Ryou asked.
"This is the chappai." The woman replied, running her hand along the monument.
"Isn't that's the gate to the gods?" Atem asked the goddess. "I've only ever heard about it in stories my father told me as a child. That is was closed off to us mortals by Ra himself."
"That is correct little Pharaoh, our husband Ra closed the gates trapping us here," Hathor replied. She then turned her attention to the men, they all knelt before the false god. "This young man is battling me for the right to become my first new child. Watch your Queen put this her child in his place."
"You choose the game goddess." Yami Bakura smirked.
"Of course, I choose, we are your god after all mortal." Hathor walked around Ryou, glancing at the young man with the two spirits.
"I have no god," Yami Bakura taunted.
"You are not my god, you are a false god." Yami Yugi lectured the woman. "I only follow the true gods."
Hathor paced the room, looking regal as she did.
"You're game goddess," Yami spat. "If you do not name one then both your souls are forfeit. I haven't had fun in a long time, that would be such a disappointing way to win.
"Do you know how to play Senet?" Hathor asked. "We have not played Senet is such a long time. We used to play with the little Pharaohs. Do you remember playing little Pharaoh?"
Yami glared at her but didn't answer. Ryou gave the other Yami a sad smile.
"I know how to play Senet, is that your game?" Bakura asked with a grin.
"That is our game," Hathor asked. "We do not have any pieces. If you cannot provide them, your souls are forfeit to us."
"The pieces will not be an issue," Bakura replied with a roll of his eyes and activated the shadow magic for the game.
"You've grown powerful former host of Zork," Hathor commented as she examined the table that had appeared for them to play Senet. Hathor looked at her host who had appeared next to her. Looking sad and pathetic.
"You need to stay here," Bakura said to Ryou who wanted to go over and help Hathors host. "She will be ours soon enough."
Atem looked regal as he stood next to the pair watching the woman who was his biological mother. Hathor and the Thief King both took a seat.
"You make the first move goddess," Bakura spat.
Hathor, crossed her legs as she sat down and began the game which would determine her life.
YGO
"This is the oddest soul I have ever won." The Thief King held up the goa'uld. He held the other soul, the one belonging to the woman, the host body. She was goa'uld was millions of years old. The host body was thousands of years old and very glad to be free of the other soul even if it meant the cost of her own life.
"Do you think Zork was one of those goa'uld things?" Ryou asked his ancient spirit.
"I believe so." The thief replied angrily. "I hate that my life was controlled by Zork for so long. That he manipulated everything from such a young age. I never got the chance to be my own person."
"Can you return her soul?" Ryou referred to Hathors host. "Give her an opportunity to be her own person? You want to prove you're better than her. Be your own person. Start by returning the souls of the innocent people who didn't deserve their souls stolen. Starting with her."
"Bakura is right Yami Bakura." The Pharaoh agreed. "Biologically, that woman is my mother. I would like the chance to meet her, the real her. Not the one that was victim to a false god. The real gods would be angry to know that this imposter stole her identity."
Yami Bakura walked towards the unconscious woman. He placed his hand on her chest, willing the soul to return. She woke slowly, crying. Yelling that the god's body was still inside her, scratching and pulling at her neck. Atem wished that he could comfort his mother, she could no longer see him now that the shadow game had been won.
The men in the room were looking around in confusion as the effects of Hathor's control lifted.
"What's going on? How did you get out?" The General yelled at Ryou.
"You should be thanking me. I saved you." The thief in control on Ryou's body replied.
The Ring digging into Ryou's chest, he didn't trust the military men and was too weak after being kept outside of the ring for so long. The shadow game he just won had also been rather draining.
One of the men held out the same type gun he'd been hit with last time. He attempted to run but found himself hit, before he'd got very far and fading into unconsciousness in an instant.
SG-1
Daniel came too slowly in Hathors room. He was horrified by what he'd done. He'd slept with Hathor, contributing his DNA to create new goa'uld. The things that were responsible for stealing his wife! He'd created more of. He left the room walking to the locker room, seeing the tub full of the goa'uld larva. It was so tempting to destroy them like he'd recently destroyed the goa'uld larva on Chu'lak.
He could hear shouting from one of the rooms down the hall. He ran towards it, leaving the larva for now. Ryou's door was wide open. The room Hathor had originally been bought to was locked. He glanced through the slot seeing the woman of the SGC in the room.
He opened the door. He wasn't sure what they were doing, but he'd never seen them like that before.
"Sam, Janet. Are you alright?" He asked his teammate and doctor.
"Daniel?" Sam asked. "You're alright?" Sam asked, fixing her shirt.
"Not really. Everything I have done is coming back slowly." Daniel replied. "What are you doing locked up in here?"
"Hathor had all the men in the base under her control. She locked us up in here and the room next door. Teal'c in another room down the hall." Sam replied. "We'd come up with a plan to seduce the men to get us out of here. Clearly, that is no longer required."
"Where is Ryou? Did you let him out? I noticed his room was open." Daniel asked.
"I have no idea how he got out. Daniel, he had the ring and the puzzle." Sam replied as they walked to the rooms the other woman were locked in and then freed Teal'c.
They found Jack carrying an unconscious bleeding Ryou to the infirmary. Hathor was being escorted by the General.
"My god, the ring is embedded into his chest," Sam noted.
"He did that before we hit him with the zat gun. We've been unable to remove it. He was playing a game with Hathor and just won. When Miss Hathor lost the game she collapsed. He walked over and touched her chest, she woke up like this. None of us can understand what she is saying."
"I can understand her," Daniel informed them and translated. "She is apologizing for what Hathor has done with the body. Jack, General. This is the host, Hathors host, Nahid."
Daniel started talking to her slowly. Translating her reply. "She was chosen by the priest in her village when she was still young. She was considered the most beautiful because of her pale skin and red hair. Her birth name Nahid, it means Goddess of wisdom and fertility. The priest believed she was destined to be Hathors host from birth due to her name. That it wasn't a coincidence that she grew to be as beautiful as she is.
"Nahid didn't come from Egypt initially. Her father was an explorer and brought the family with him. She and her mother remained behind after he died. Her mother taking a new husband and a new family.
"She was honoured to become a living god. She watched as she killed her own mother, her step-father and younger siblings with her own hands. Crying to stop, but unable to do anything. Having no control over her body."
"Let's get them both to the infirmary," Janet told them.
Daniel followed them. Explaining to Hathors host what they were going to do with her. Since Ryou was in the most danger, Janet got to work with him first. Sam was also helping Daniel with the Nahid while Teal'c helped Janet. The female nurses were currently going around the base looking for anyone with ill effects from what Hathor had done.
"His vitals are normal," Janet announced. "The ring being embedded in his chest isn't having any ill effects at all." She removed his shirt, cutting away carefully where it was embedded through the shirt. "Look at this, it lines up perfectly with his scars."
The others gathered around. She attempted to move one of the spikes. His vitals went haywire. She then made to remove the puzzle from his neck. The same thing happening.
A young tri colours hair ghost appeared before them.
"He looks like Yugi Moto," Daniel exclaimed. "Are you the spirit of the puzzle? Pharaoh Atem."
"I don't speak English." The spirit replied in Japanese. "Japanese and my own tongue are the only languages I am fluent in. You know of Yugi and my true name?"
"I am Daniel Jackson," Daniel replied in Japanese. "I meet Yugi recently when I was in Japan trying to find out more about the Millennium Items. I've heard a lot about you from Yugi, Miss Ishtar and Mr. Bakura."
"You must stop trying to remove the items from Ryou Bakura. You will kill him if you keep trying. The Millennium Items are not toys. Only the chosen few can wield the items without consequences. He is one of those few. The items are dangerous and need to go back to the item holders. The item holders are the only ones he can keep them safe, and not miss use the powers. Including the Thief King, the former host to Zork. With Zork gone, the Thief should no longer abuse his powers or his light. Ryou will temporary be home to my soul until I can once again meet up with my light, Yugi. Until that time, I remain with Ryou."
Daniel translated for the others. "Short version, if we remove either item from My Bakura we kill him."
"He's in no current danger, return him to his room," Janet told the others.
"We should move him to the room the Ring was kept. That way he shouldn't be able to leave." George Hammond ordered.
"I will take him." Teal'c offered.
"I'll go with you Teal'c and make sure the technology hasn't been broken when Mr. Bakura took the item from the room." Sam offered.
Teal'c nodded picking Ryou up and followed Sam through the hallway to the cell.
Daniel stayed sitting with Nadia as she had an MRI, keeping her calm.
SG-1
Janet was in the conference room with General Hammond and SG-1.
"What of Hathors host?" The General asked. "She still has the goa'uld, but it's nothing we have ever seen before. It has relaxed its grip around her spinal cord. In its current state, I believe we can remove it without killing Nadia." Janet informed them. "The one issue we have is we don't know if Nadia would survive without the goa'uld. She has been one for thousands of years."
"Even if it does kill her, Nadia wants' the goa'uld gone. She wishes to die free." Daniel told the General.
"Removed the goa'uld, Dr. Fraiser." The general ordered.
Jack asked, "What happened to the bathtub of baby snakes?"
"They've been kept alive for now g." General Hammond replied. "A few samples have been sealed up and will be sent to the N.I.D. Our scientists have a few samples to experiment on. The rest have been sealed up for a rainy day sir. I don't feel comfortable keeping such a large amount of goa'uld larva alive. We do not have permission to destroy them."
"We should have destroyed them before we made our reports to the Pentagon," Jack replied. "I don't like the thought of them being around."
"I don't either, but they have their uses, like if something ever happens to Teal'c goa'uld again, like on Chu'lak recently." The General replied. "For those purposes, I only want a small number."
"I just keep picturing the whole base taken over by the goa'uld when the mature." Sam voiced her opinion.
"You will find that most of the goa'uld DNA is mine," Daniel told them. He hated saying what he'd done with Hathor while he'd been under her influence. "The goa'uld needs DNA from the species they want to be host to, to better the chances that the host body doesn't reject the goa'uld."
"What of Ryou Bakura, has he woken yet?" The General asked Sam and Teal'c.
Sam replied. "No, sir. One thing we have noticed is one the equipment is on we can see the Spirit of Atem. We could not see the spirit of the ring. Instead, we can see Ryou Bakura's spirit. Atem is conscious, Ryou is not. I have them being monitored and they will tell us when he wakes."
"It's been a long day, you're all dismissed," General replied. "I want you to all stay on base in case anything happens."
