Once there Jack and Sam went to the ring room while Teal'c, Daniel and Jacob walked to the bridge. Daniel introduced Colonel Ronson to Jacob, then he gave a piece of paper to the young female captain on Ronson's right.
"This is Stargate Command calling the Prometheus." A voice came over the communications system.
"This is Prometheus, Stargate Command." Ronson replied.
"We just received reports from NASA: ten mother ships are in orbit."
"Copy that Stargate Command, Prometheus out."
"It can't be Anubis yet." Daniel said, confused. Then there was a bright light.
"Ah, hello." Ronson said uncertainly to the Asgard now sitting in front of him.
"Greetings."
"Thor, you made it, do you know whose mother ships they are?"
"Yes, they are led by the one called Bra'tac."
Sam walked into the room.
"Greetings Major Carter."
"Thor, we're pleased you could make it."
"Sam, the rebel jaffa are here with ten of their ships." Daniel told her.
"Really? That's great, how many Asgard ships are here?"
"Five, and there are another five coming."
"It's not enough." Then she bit her bottom lip.
"Sam we know … what are you thinking?" Jacob asked.
"I have a plan … Thor, can you beam Teal'c up onto the lead ship?"
"Yes, I can do that."
"Thanks. Teal'c, you know that paint ball fight two months ago? Remember the tactic we used with SG-2?"
"Indeed."
"That's what we're going to do."
SG-2 distracted SG-3 and SG-4, while SG-1 came up from behind them firing their paint ball guns. SG-3 and SG-4 didn't know what had hit them till it was too late. SG-1 and SG-2 won the competition and they received two weeks down time which they all enjoyed, particularly Jack and Sam.
"Who's leading the motherships?"
"Bra'tac is." Daniel said.
"Thanks. Thor, can you go up with Teal'c and Daniel and explain the plan to Bra'tac. The best place to hide is behind the moon."
"Sure." Then there was a bright light, and Thor, Daniel and Teal'c were gone.
"Colonel, when you are ready, we can head to Antarctica."
"Sure thing Major." Then he started giving orders while Sam and Jacob left to go and see how Jack was doing.
On the way Sam told Jacob about what happened with the paint ball competition and how they won. Jacob laughed till they walked into the ring room. They stopped when they saw what Jack was doing.
"Any idea what he's doing?"
"Yes, the power from the rings and naqadah generator will be acting like a hot laser; it will melt the ice till it hits another set of rings and then it will turn itself off."
"Really?"
"Yep, I'm getting everything recorded so I can study it later, and knowing Thor he will want a copy of it too."
"Will it work on rock?"
"Don't know Dad." Then they heard the engines start up.
"It looks like we're on our way."
"Sounds like it."
They watched Jack work around the rings till he finished, and then he stood up and walked out of the room. They followed him, and found him in the mess hall with a slice of cake and a coffee. Sam and Jacob walked over and sat down.
"Jack, how are you feeling?" Sam asked.
"Hungry." Then he took another mouthful of cake.
"Jack, you know what I mean … Thor took the Asgard knowledge from you, you shouldn't have been able to do the things you're doing to the rings. You're not telling me everything, what's going on with you Jack?" Jack looked at Sam and Jacob, and relented.
"I still have some of the knowledge in me, just enough to do the rings and work the chair."
"Jack, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Sorry Sam."
"Will you be ok?"
"Yes. Want some cake?"
"No, thank you." When he was finished eating, they followed him to the bridge. When they got there they smiled to see George Hammond there in the Colonel's seat.
"George." Jacob smiled.
"Jacob, Major, Colonel, we will be reaching the coordinates in two minutes." Jack nodded then he walked out of the bridge.
"It's good to see you again sir, and congratulations on your promotion." Sam said when she saw the third star on his shoulders.
"Thank you Major. I've been updated on what has happened so far."
"Yes sir." Then she turned to look at where they were.
"George, when did you get promoted?" Jacob asked.
"This morning."
When Prometheus stopped they waited.
"General the rings have been activated."
"Thank you." They looked at two of the monitors, which showed them the ring room and the progress of the laser Jack had built.
When it stopped a few minutes later, Jack removed the clamps from the rings. Then he walked over and picked up the backpack, and activated the rings, transporting himself down to Earth.
"All we can do now is wait for Jack to show up." Jacob said.
When the rings disappeared Jack walked over to the chair and replaced the almost dead ZPM, then he sat in the chair and checked on couple of things. When finished he used the rings to get back to the Prometheus, and he walked back up to the bridge.
"Anubis will be here in two hours, can you let Thor and Bra'tac know?"
"Sure, is everything ok Colonel?"
"Yes, all we can do is wait."
"Ok, while we are waiting you and Major Carter can go and talk to the President … and good luck."
"Thank you sir." Jack walked over till he was next to Sam.
"Captain, send them down."
"Yes sir." Then there was a bright light and they were gone.
When they appeared in the Oval Office, the President, the Chief of Staff, and other senior advisors were already there talking.
"Mr President."
"Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, we were just talking about you two."
"Oh."
"Colonel, we received the tape you sent me, we've just seen it and we've been discussing your court marshal."
"I will receive any punishment you give to me." Jack said solemnly. Sam turned to him.
"Jack, no, if you're going to be court marshalled, then I should be as well." Jack turned to Sam.
"No Sam, I'm talking full responsibility here."
"Jack, we should do this together."
"Colonel, Major, may I carry on?" They turned to the President.
"You're not going to be court marshalled."
"We're not?" Sam said in shock.
"No. You're both going to be promoted." He said smiling.
"I don't understand, we broke the regulations."
"From the video the Colonel sent me, it looked more like blackmail, and the rest of the people here who have seen it agree with me. Vice President Kinsey has blackmailed you both; and I know what he's been up to in the past." Sam was shocked and Jack was smiling.
"I don't know what to say sir … thank you."
"We will have the promotion ceremony tomorrow after Anubis is taken care of."
"Thank you sir."
"You'd better get back to the Prometheus. And good luck with the mission, we will be monitoring what's happening from here."
"Yes sir." They turned away, and Jack whispered into Sam's ear. "Come on Sam, lets go and kick some goa'uld ass."
"Yes sir, hopefully all the other jaffa will realise that the goa'uld are not gods and believe in freedom for all jaffa."
"Here's hoping." Then they were beamed back on Prometheus.
"Jack, Sam, what happened?" Jacob asked.
"We'll talk about it later Dad." Sam said.
"Sam." He looked at her.
"Later, please Dad."
"Ok, so what happens now?"
"We wait." Then Sam walked out of the room leaving Jack and Jacob standing they're looking at each other, before they too walked out of the bridge.
Sam went to one of the quarters to get some rest since she'd been up for over twenty-four hours. Jack managed to find her so he joined her on the bed, and they held onto each other and kissed before closing their eyes and falling asleep.
An hour and a half later Jacob came for them. He woke Jack up.
"Jack, it's almost time."
"Thanks." Then he turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Jack turned and looked at Sam, he tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear then he leaned forwards and gave her a kiss. When he moved back he saw her smile then she open her eyes.
"Jack, what's wrong?"
"It's time."
"Ok." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss.
"We'd better get to the bridge then."
"Yeah. Whatever happens Sam, I love you."
"I love you too."
Then they got up and walked down to the bridge.
"Colonel, Major, we just received word, Anubis is here."
"Ok, it's show time." Then Jack gave Sam a kiss and walked out of the room.
Sam watched him go, then she turned and looked outside and waited.
"The rings have been activated."
"Ok, move the ship away." The ship moved away from the hole in the ice.
"Anubis is hailing us, General."
"On screen." Then Anubis in his black cloak appeared.
"Surrender or meet your doom."
"We do not surrender." General Hammond said.
"Then you are doomed."
"Oh please, you tried to destroy us twice and failed. You're going to fail again and this time you will be doomed." Sam said.
"Sam what are you doing?" Jacob whispered.
"Buying Jack some time, trust me Dad." He nodded then turned back to Anubis.
"Your ship is no match for my ship."
"Did we say we are alone? If you fire upon us, you will die." Then he cut the link.
"Shields up just in case." Hammond said.
"Shields up ... Anubis is firing." Sam walked over to a communications console and pressed two keys.
"Bra'tac, Thor, fire." Then she pushed two other keys.
"Jack, Anubis is all yours. Take the mother ship first."
"Take us out." Hammond ordered, and they headed to where the main fight was taking place.
When they got there they started firing on one of Anubis' small ships when ten fireballs went flying passed them, and hit Anubis' mother ship. It exploded, and Anubis' other ships stopped firing, but the Asgard and rebel jaffa kept on firing till they were all destroyed.
