Chapter 24 – Robbing Anubis
'Kawoosh!' did the wormhole on Pe'klo. A young kid came walking out, relaxed like he hadn't a care in the world. In front of the Stargate were some guards. Being a pretty important planet of Anubis due to its naquadah resources and shipyards, the guard was plentiful. Four Kull warriors stood behind several hundred jaffa in several buildings, armed with big guns and cannons. They had stormed forward when they heard the wormhole opening. But they stopped running and charged their weapons when they saw the kid coming through.
"Hi guys!" The kid said cheerily.
"Identify yourself!" said the lead jaffa.
"Well, yeah, that might be a kind of a problem." The kid started.
"Silence! Identify yourself!" shouted the lead jaffa.
"Should I silent now, or identify myself? Make a choice, buddy." The kid answered, seeming unafraid of the guards.
"You will die for your impudence, child!" shouted the jaffa.
"Try me!" the kid shouted back.
The jaffa, who started going red at the sight of the kid ignoring his orders, fired his staff weapon. That would teach the kid some manners, if he survived. He hoped not, he hated kids. Especially the ones that talked back. But the blast missed.
"How...!" managed the jaffa to shout as he stopped mid sentence. There kid was nowhere to be seen.
" Hey asshole!" the kid screamed from on top of the building. "Catch me if you can!"
"Get him!" the jaffa shouted, sending his other jaffa to chase the kid. The four Kull warriors kept their ground, standing guard over the still active gate.
When the kid had managed to draw all the jaffa away from the gate, four people came through, armed with weird-looking guns. The Kull warriors raised their wrist-guns at the sight of the four people, but their weird guns blazed and the Kulls exploded in four small explosions.
"You think Minos will be ok?" Carter asked.
"Of course he will. You were there when we all defeated the replicators. He can handle himself against a few jaffa. He'll be okay." O'Neill answered.
"I agree. We should proceed to the target." Teal'c added.
"C'mon guys." Daniel said as he signalled the others to come.
Ten minutes later, the four people had found their way through the small forest that separated the town from the Stargate, and they had arrived in the town. They proceeded their ways through a large temple of some sorts.
"When do you think Minos will arrive?" Carter asked nervously.
"The question is: Why are you so late?" Minos said from the throne in the temple where he sat, relaxed, like he hadn't got a care in the world.
"Minos! Where were you, and more important, how did you got here so fast?" O'Neill said.
"Better question: What took you so long? I've been sitting here for at least five minutes. I even had time to stash away the stuff I stole from the jaffa."
"What happened to the jaffa?" Daniel asked.
"They think they're butterflies flying around in fields of eternal blossom."
"Really?" Daniel asked.
"What do you think?" Minos retorted.
"I think that you're not gonna tell us the answer." O'Neill said.
"You're right. Now let's proceed with the plan. I need two people to search the city for valuable things. And I need two people to come with and hijack one of the ships in orbit."
"Wait, how many ships are in orbit?" O'Neill asked.
"There are two spaceworthy ships in orbit, and six more in the making." Minos answered.
"Sounds like Anubis is building an army."
"More than you might think." Minos answered. "But we must hurry."
"Carter, you're with Daniel and you'll search out the city for anything of value. Teal'c you're with me and Minos."
"Carter, here are some small beacons. I can beam the things up you plant them on." Minos said as he threw a small bag with things in it to Carter. She caught it and together with Daniel she left the small temple they were in.
"Minos, now what's your plan with hijacking the ship?" O'Neill asked.
"I'll ask to be beamed up, I'll clear the guards around it and I'll transport you up. We'll make our way to the bridge, kill the lead Goa'uld and then we'll clear the ship of jaffa."
"Ok, but how do you plan to ask to be beamed up?" O'Neill asked.
"There's a communication device underneath this chair. It'll connect with the ship, and I'll ask in Goa'uld to be transported up."
"OK, cool. I guess we're ready when you are, right Teal'c?" O'Neill asked.
"I am ready, O'Neill." Teal'c answered.
Minos opened up a hidden chamber underneath the chair, and he took the communications device out. He talked into the device, waiting for an answer. A few moments later the rings appeared from the platform Minos was standing on, beaming him away.
Several seconds later, Minos talked through the radio.
"Are you ready for transport? The transporter room is clear."
"We're ready." O'Neill answered, as he and Teal'c stepped onto the platform. A few seconds later the rings came up, and they found themselves in the ring room of the Ha'tak in orbit over Pe'klo.
"That was fast." O'Neill commented when he saw ten jaffa lying still on the ground.
"They're only stunned, but they won't wake up for a few hours." Minos answered. "Let's go."
Minos led the way towards the bridge of the Ha'tak, evading most of the guards and patrols on their way. Suddenly, a loud alarm started to ring.
"Crap. They've discovered us." Minos said.
"Can't you do something about it?" O'Neill asked.
"Already doing it." Minos answered. "Follow me."
"Ok." O'Neill said.
Minos jogged away on a quick pace, O'Neill and Teal'c keeping up.
"Halt! Identify yourselves!" Minos heard from behind him. He stopped running and turned around slowly. There were twenty jaffa behind them, all staff weapons charged and ready to kill.
"Identify yourselves!" The lead jaffa shouted.
"I'm Minos. Nice to meet ya. Not." Minos shouted the last part out. He pushed O'Neill and Teal'c against the wall, out of harms reach. The jaffa fired at Minos' shout, but Minos evaded their blasts. He jumped over them, touching the high ceiling in the corridor, and landed right on top of the jaffa leader.
A quick brawl followed where the Jaffa tried to hurt Minos, but Minos evaded all their blows and countered them. One minute later, the remaining jaffa were either unconscious or paralyzed. Minos stood up from the remnants of the brawl, and dusted his sleeves off.
"Tssk. Wasn't even a challenge." Minos said. "Come on, let's go."
Minos jogged away in the same, quite relaxed pace he'd jogged in before, leaving the twenty unmoving jaffa behind.
They arrived near the bridge of the Ha'tak in orbit around the planet only a few minutes later. On their way to the bridge they'd met another three patrols of jaffa, all taken down by Minos. Minos calmly opened the bridge doors, waiting for the jaffa and Goa'uld to see him as he walked calmly in.
"Guards! Get them!" The Goa'uld in command of the ha'tak screamed.
Minos had anticipated this, and was already running towards the first guard. Minos grabbed his staff weapon and swung it around with a force that belied his size, launching the jaffa to whom the staff belonged straight over the bridge and into the opposing wall. He charged into the other jaffa that manned the bridge, using the stolen staff weapon as a stick to take down the jaffa.
Meanwhile O'Neill and Teal'c hadn't been sitting still. O'Neill had shot the jaffa that manned the consoles of the Ha'tak and Teal'c had locked all the doors leading from and to the bridge, making sure that no one escaped.
When Minos had almost finished throwing the jaffa around after an quite powerful throw that launched four jaffa into the air, the Goa'uld that was in control of the ha'tak joined the battle. He blew away all the jaffa with a hand-device, leaving only a slightly panting Minos that was shooting glares at him.
"Bow before your god." The Goa'uld boomed.
"No." Minos answered.
"Bow before your god!" the Goa'uld boomed again.
"No." Minos repeated.
"Then you shall die!" the Goa'uld said, as he stood up quickly to use the hand device against Minos. But when he shot the wave of energy, Minos wasn't standing where he stood anymore. The Goa'uld suddenly paralyzed, and looked down. Minos was lying on the ground, both arms in the air, a sword in each of his hands. The Goa'uld looked down, and saw that the swords entered his body, blood leaking from the wounds.
Minos stood up, holding the Goa'uld with his swords, and flung him in a corner of the bridge.
"Well, that was quite messy." O'Neill commented on the large stain of blood that covered the throne in the Pel'tak.
"I was improvising." Minos retorted.
"What did you need us for, actually?" O'Neill asked.
"I need you to fly this ship. I'm taking care of the other one." Minos said on a tone that left no room for discussion. "I need you to keep the ship still, and to make sure that the other ha'tak captain doesn't know what's going on until it is too late."
"OK."
"I'll communicate with you when I've hijacked the other ship. Bye." Minos said as he jogged away towards the ring room, leaving O'Neill and Teal'c behind.
"O'Neill, I will take control of the ship if you can defend the Pel'tak." Teal'c said.
"Ok, T. I might check up on Carter and Daniel as well." O'Neill said.
"Carter, Daniel, come in please." O'Neills voice sounded through the radio.
"We're here, sir. We've put the beacons on a lot of things so far." Carter answered.
"Where exactly are you?" O'Neills voice sounded again.
"We're in some kind of storage. There were a few jaffa here, but we've taken care of them. We've found lots of weapons and naquadah, sir."
"Good work, Carter. Minos is taking care of the second ship now and we've secured the first one."
"On his own?" Carter asked.
"Yes, he practically ordered us to stay here." O'Neill answered.
"Sam!" Daniel exclaimed.
"Coming!" Sam yelled back. "What's the matter?" Sam asked.
"Look at this!" Daniel exclaimed.
"What's the matter?" O'Neills voice sounded in from the radio.
"Sir, there's at least five tonnes of refined naquadah here." Sam said, the amazement audible in her voice.
"We can find a use for that." O'Neill said.
"You surely can say that." Sam answered.
"Not wanting to interrupt your discussion," Minos started, "But I think I have control over the second ship now."
"What's your plan?" O'Neill asked.
"I'm gonna fire a strange sort bolt from this ship to yours. It should transport all living beings that are not on the bridge back to the surface of the planet. It's not gonna do any more damage than that." Minos said.
"Ok, we're ready when you are." O'Neill said as he looked to Teal'c.
"OK, here it goes." Minos said.
O'Neill saw the other ships weapons charge, and fire a bolt simultaneously. The bolts dissipated slightly, forming a large energy wave that ran over the ha'tak where O'Neill and Teal'c were. The wave, which was coloured a light red, disappeared completely after it had passed over the ship.
"I'll transport back to your bridge, and clear this ship too, O'Neill." Minos' voice said through the radio.
"Ok."
Minos appeared on the bridge of O'Neills ha'tak a minute later. He walked to the control consoles, pushed a few buttons and the same wave that had rolled over the first ha'tak now rolled over the second.
"That was cool. You've got to explain how you did that." O'Neill said.
"It's really simple. The goa'uld just never figured out how to use it correctly. I'll explain later, when we're back." Minos said. " Carter, are you ready to beam everything up?"
"We are, but how are you gonna beam everything up? There are no rings down here, and I'm not dragging it all the way back." Carter said.
"Wait and see." Minos answered.
