Chapter 3
Jack turned around, walked down to his team, and opened the bag to find six nine mil guns, six blocks of C4, detonators, and a radio.
"Thank-you Sam."
Jack walked to the side of the wall and started laying C4. He passed the guns to his team. They hid them and he put Sam's dog tags around his neck. He looked at her wedding ring knowing he would place it back on her finger one day.
Jack just finished when the gates opened. They all watched Apophis, Sam, a Jaffa and four men walking to the cell.
"Jack, that's the Jaffa," Daniel whispered. Then they were all told to get on their knees.
Jack looked at the Jaffa, who was looking at him, and then to Daniel. Once they were all on their knees, Apophis and Sam walked into the cell. Apophis was looking around while Sam was looking at Jack. He moved his shirt to show both dog tags and her wedding ring. She gave him a slight nod. The Jaffa saw this interaction and wondered who he was and how he knew the host. He could see love between them.
Apophis picked-out a young man. Apophis ordered his Jaffa to kill the rest, which shocked both Jack and Sam, but they knew there was nothing they could do. The Jaffa saw the shocked look on their faces before Apophis and Sam left with the four men and the young man.
The Jaffa stood side by side with their staff weapons pointing at everyone there. Then Jack stepped forward.
"Help me, I can save these people!" One of the Jaffa looked at him.
"Many have said that." Then he turn around and shot the other Jaffa.
"Hit the deck!"
Jack yelled, then everyone got on the ground and the Jaffa pushed a button. There was an explosion behind them which knocked them down to the ground and killed the other Jaffa.
They all got up.
"Over here," Jack yelled.
The Abydonians got up and ran over to where Jack was while his team put the detonators in the C4. Then the team ran over to where Jack was and picked-up their staff weapons. Jack blew a big hole in the wall. Then his team went through the hole helping the others through while Jack and the Jaffa kept the other Jaffa back. Then Jack ran to the hole and stopped and turned, "Come on."
"I've got nowhere else to go."
"You can come back with us." The Jaffa looked at Jack and walked over to him. They walked quickly to catch up with the others.
"What's you name?"
"Teal'c."
"Colonel O'Neill."
"Do you have any family?"
"Yes, a wife and son."
"Where are they?"
"Not far."
"We'd better get them just in case... Where do you think Apophis will go?"
"Through the gate. He will take Amaunet with him... Do you know the host?"
"Yes. She's my wife." Teal'c was shocked to hear this and now understood the strong bond between them.
"I must go this way to get my family."
"I'll come with you" then he spoke to a major before they ran to Teal'c's house to see an old friend of Teal'c's, his wife, and his son.
"Teal'c, what is going on?" Dry'ac asked.
"Where is Ry'ac?" Then his son walked out of the house.
"Teal'c, what is going on? Who is this human?"
"Colonel Jack O'Neill. Teal'c here help saved some lives. We're heading to the stargate."
"Stargate?"
"The round thing that takes you to another planet."
"Chappa'ai."
"Yes, that's where we need to go."
"Teal'c, I need to get our things."
"Forget them. Where I live, we've got everything you will need. Trust me."
"Teal'c, take your family."
"Master Bra'tac, what about you?"
"Don't worry about me old friend. What you have done is a start. Go."
They grasped hands in Jaffa style and hugged. Then they left after Jack gave Bra'tac a nod. Then they turned around and the four of them ran to the gate. When they reach the others, a glider flew passed them to the gate. When they reached the top of the hill they all saw Apophis, Sam, the four men, and the young man. They all looked up to the hill to see them.
Sam saw Jack. Then Apophis spoke, so she looked at Jack for the last time. Then she turned around. She put her hand on top of Apophis's and watch the others go through the gate. Then they walked up the ramp. They turned when they saw the glider start firing while heading to the hill.
Jack and the others started firing back. Sam pulled a box out of her pocket and pushed the button. Then part of the glider blew up and crashed. They turned around and were just about to walk through the gate when Sam dropped the detonator. Jack saw Sam drop something before walking through the gate and it shut down.
"O'Neill we better go. More Jaffa will be here soon."
"Daniel, go and dial it up."
Daniel ran down to the DHD and started dialing. When the team that was left behind showed up, they saw Daniel and Jack start barking orders. The wormhole formed. Daniel ran up the steps and waited. Then the men, women, and children ran to the gate when they were close enough.
Daniel went through first, and then they started going through the gate while the two teams kept an eye out for Jaffa and death gliders. When almost all of them were through, the gliders and Jaffa showed up, so they ran to the gate.
Jack and Teal'c were the last ones to go through. Jack bent down and picked up the detonator. Then he got the staff weapon and fired it at the DHD. He and Teal'c then went through the gate. When they reached the other side, the gate shut down.
Jack look around and the ones whom he and his team saved thanked them. Jack walked around them and outside to be alone. He sat on the steps, pulled out Sam's dog tags, and look at them and her wedding ring.
"I'll find you Sam, what ever it takes, I'll find you." Then he heard footsteps. Someone sat next to him.
"What is wrong O'Neill?" Jack turned his head and look at Skar'ra.
"The Goa'uld named Apophis took Sam... my wife."
"Is he like Ra?"
"Yes, he is the one who came through here before with four Jaffa."
"What are you going to do?" Jack pulled out a photo of him and Sam together wearing their dress blues. He showed it to Skar'ra.
"This is my wife Sam."
"She is beautiful."
"Yes she is... Skar'ra, can you do something for me?"
"What do you need?"
"Memorize Sam's face. If she ever comes here, dial earth, but don't come through. I'll come here."
"Has she got a demon in her?"
"Yes. Whatever you do don't kill her."
"I understand." He looked at Sam's smiling face. Then he returned the photo to Jack. He looked at it one more time.
"Will you guys be OK with your new guests?"
"Yes, we will be fine."
"Good, we'd better head back to earth. I've got to take Daniel back with us, but we will return."
"I understand." They both stood up and walked back into the temple.
"Well, we'd better head back home and don't worry Daniel, I'm sure Hammond will let you come back to do whatever it was you were doing while here."
"Thanks Jack, there is something I do want to show you guys before we go."
"Daniel?"
"Jack, ten minutes. Trust me. It's worth it."
"OK, ten minutes."
Daniel smiled. So they followed him out of the temple to another temple. When they walked in, Daniel lit the oil lamps and they all looked around.
"OK Daniel. What are we looking at here?".
"Jack, the writings on all these walls are gate addresses. Look." He walked over and pointed to the point of origin symbol for Earth. Jack walked over to it.
"Jack, I've been here for two months and I've only scratched the surface. I've written some of the addresses down." He walked over and picked up his journal. He opened it and showed Jack.
"Well, we'd better go and talk to Hammond." Jack looked around before they left after Daniel extinguished the flames.
When they returned to the temple, Daniel went to get Earth's address. He showed Skar'ra before they left to return to Earth. A few minutes later, the two teams, Daniel, Teal'c, and his family returned to Earth.
Teal'c was involved with the debriefing while his wife and son were in a room with a guard standing outside their door. They all talked about what happened and Hammond asked Teal'c lots of different questions before he was returned to his family.
"Colonel, do you realize what you have done?"
"Yes sir. If it wasn't for Teal'c and Sam, we wouldn't be here right now."
"Colonel, I know you wanted to get Colonel Carter back. All we can do is try the best we can to find her."
"I know, but the message I got is that she will be on Abydos in a year. From what Daniel told us, with what he found, it will take three years or more to get all the information off the walls, the gate addresses, everything. If the government is OK with it and we do send teams there to do whatever, at least they will also know what Sam looks like."
"What about these tok'ra? Can we trust them?"
"Why don't we ask Teal'c about them?"
"Colonel Simmons from the pentagon is coming here to talk to him in the morning."
"So, all we can do is wait."
"Yes."
"Sir, permission to get them some clothes to wear while here and something to eat?"
"Granted."
"Thanks, sir."
Jack left his office to find some clothes for Teal'c and his family. He showed them the mess hall where they all got dinner and sat at one of the tables talking. Some of the guys from the team also joined them.
They were there for two hours before they were returned to their room for the night.
The next morning, Jack and Daniel were there when Simmons questioned Teal'c. He was able to answer most of the questions and discovered that the people of Earth are the lost tau'ri. Simmons wanted to take Teal'c and his family to Washington, but Hammond said "No." Then he sent Simmons back to Washington.
Over the next few days, Hammond got the teams sorted out. Jack, Teal'c, Kawaski, and Ferretti were all on SG1. Daniel gave Hammond names of people he wanted to help him with the translating and other things on Abydos. He would have to get a background check on them before giving them clearance.
It was two weeks before Daniel and his group went back through the gate to Abydos where they were greeted by the Abydonians. They started work the next morning.
SG1 started going off world for the first time. Jack found out that there were twenty-two teams going off world. They all knew to keep an eye out for Sam in their travels.
While Sam was with Apophis, she and Jolinar knew he was not happy with what Teal'c had done, but he had other things to worry about. Sam found out he was planning on taking out Heru'ur and take over his planets and Jaffa. So Sam and Jolinar went with him and were able to pass information on to the tok'ra council.
When they met, Sam was there. There was going to be an alliance between them first. Sam found out that Apophis was going to blow up Heru'ur's ship. Sam and Jolinar knew that there were over twenty tok'ra operatives on the ship. They were meeting close to a planet which Jolinar knew about.
"My pharaoh, why not meet lord Heru'ur on the planet. You don't want to destroy his ship."
Apophis thought about it. Then he spoke to Heru'ur ten minutes later and both agreed to beam down to the surface. When Sam went to her room, one of the tok'ra walked in to talk with her.
"I've got a message from the council. We've got to stop the alliance between them." Sam walk back and forth thinking of a plan.
"Does Apophis have a cloaking device?"
"Only on his cargo ships."
"Show me."
They walked out of the room and down to where the cargo ships were. Sam looked at a cloaking device and she was able to pull it out and work on it for the next three hours. She finished making a device.
"Well, here goes nothing." Then she turned it on.
"Did it work?"
"Yes." Then she turned it off.
"Good. When is Apophis leaving?"
"Soon."
"Let's go. I need a zat."
They left to get a zat and went to the rings. They heard Apophis and four Jaffa's heading their way.
"Well here goes nothing." She turned on the cloaking device and she and the tok'ra operative hid.
