The three stood watching the Prior, and what he would do, The Prior spoke, "And behold, those that fought against the Word were made low, and their lands given to those of whom it was more worthy." He then looked towards the three. "You are those that fought against the Word, and you shall be made low" The staff lit up and John fired, the shots going wide as he was thrown backwards like a rocket into the side of a arch, out cold. Kiro too was also knocked out when she tried to jump the Prior. Leaving just Teyla standing alone against him.

"What do you want?" Teyla asked the Prior, not yet going for her weapon, she knew she could kill the thing if she had to.

"Those that fight for power and stature, die and their names forgotton, they do not see the light any more." the Prior said. ignoring Teyla's question.

"Why are you here?" Teyla asked him, this was getting on her nerves, even though she'd seen death at the hands of the Wraith, it was different being nagged by one such as this. She'd killed his fellow Priors before, even killed their leader, Adira.

The prior looked at Teyla, his staff begain to glow, Teyla fired one shot from her pistol, blasting the staff apart, the Prior smiled as he drew a longsword from the shattered staff, "And lo, even with the bars of war against it, the gates shall fall, even but for so short a time. Then be made new." The Prior attacked.

Teyla waited until the last second to move, dropping her gun and grabbing at the Priors sword hand. Cutting her arm in the proccess, she and the Prior grappled for the sword, the two of them both kicking and punching at the other as they fought near the Drone weapons bay. From which smoke begain to come out of as if fire had been started far below.

As the pair struggled for the sword their grip on the weapon became weak and slippery because of their blood, strangely the blood never mixed, it was as if the blood fought against the other on the weapon as well. The Prior was then shoved backwards by Teyla. who took off around the corner in search of a weapon as the Prior went after her.

Teyla ducked as the sword slashed a table in two, and broke a chair in half. Teyla grabbed the nearst thing she could to use as a weapon, it ended up being a piece of ice. Ironic as it might seem in hindsight Teyla used the thick shard of ice as a small sword against the Prior.

As the pair fought, ice against metal, a mile under the ground far above, It became clear that this was not just a normal fight to the death. Teyla had drawn the eyes of the Ori, the Ascended Ori, to her when she herself had slain Adira over Earth ten months before. This fight was just a test of theirs, to see if Teyla was truly the Bane of the Ori as told long ago in legend.

Teyla fought against the Prior, using the ice shard as a sword, blocking a strike aimed at her heart, Teyla swung hard and left a icey cut on the Prior's arm, then he in turn also left a cut on her own being, right down the hip. Teyla went to one knee as she blocked the next attack from the sword the Prior used. So far things were OK, sh was still alive, and not dead on the ground yet.

Then it got personal, very personal, as the Prior threw ice towards Teyla, as well as towards her family. Teyla attacked with renewed anger, moving far too fast for anyone to move. The Prior matched her movements with ease. Blocking and parrying each strike made by Teyla. Soon as Teyla managed to lock their weapons together she grabbed the priors hand to get a grip on it, then it was the pair of them holding each other with one hand, and whacking at the other with their weapons.

As they fought the falling ice woke John up. Looking around he found his daughter out cold and half buried in the ice. He started digging her out, "Kiro, come on wake up." he pulled a large slab of ice off her legs, the cold of the ice had made them bright blue, 'oh no' John thought seeing the blue coloration to his daughters skin, her pulse was slow. Too slow, things were not going well.

Teyla and the Prior continued to fight, nither of them noticing John getting up, Teyla force a stalemate against the prior, the ice shard holding the sword steady as a rock. Teyla had a look of dark fury in her eyes as her face was set in a mask of steady determination.

She was caught off guard as the Prior grabbed her neck and forced Teyla to the floor, bringing their weapons closer to her neck. At the last minute Teyla kicked the Thing in the rump, knocking him forwards. They had both dropped their weapons, and sparks poured from a cut in the wall nearby, making the smoke all the more choking.

Since he had dropped his weapon the Prior ran at Teyla, ready to clock her with his fist to her jaw, Teyla ducked the blow and brought up her leg, catching the Prior in the stomache, he hit the floor like a sack of apples. She bent down to pick up her weapon, just as the Prior picked up his sword as she brought down her ice on him. The ice met metal once again and Teyla found herself flying towards a wall.

Shaking her head to clear it of the sudden blanket it was given Teyla just barely registred the Prior stabbing his sword at her body. She rolled away fromnthe weapon as it stabbed into the ice of where she used to be, with his weapon stuck Teyla started giving him the works, punches, kicks, stabs, everything.

Then the Prior got his weapon free of the ice, and Teyla found herself against a wall again. the prior stabbed again, catching Teyla in the hip, she screamed, and the Prior smiled. He looked down on her as she grabbed at the metal burning into her. "Tell me, what do you love most... Give me the pleasure of taking you from it."

Teyla grabbed the sword with her hands, already breathing hard from blood loss, she pulled the weapon out of herself, and swung her feet to topple the Prior, grabbing her fallen shard of ice she spoke asshe made her last move, her... Checkmate.

"There is not a thing I don't treasure." she stabbed the Prior through the neck, killing the thing within a nanosecond. Then she too fell to the floor as the Prior burned from within. Teyla laid on the ground, blood pouring from a number of cuts on her body, so far, even her second trip to Earth was not as fun as she had hoped. She blacked out.

John finally managed to wake up Kiro, "Father? what is it? What happened? Ow, my head." Kiro went quiet as John stood up and looked around, best he could see there was a small cave in, "I'm going to go find your mom, soon as you canmeet up with us at the lift." John headed off, the floor was sprinkled with blood, both Teyla's and the Priors own, which was in fact still smoking.

Teyla was in and out of light and darkness, she could only see a thick mist wherever she looked, a gray mist of nothing, a thick fog. She heard someone calling her though, "Teyla!" John said, grabbing his wife and shaking her awake, even though she was cut in many places John didn't care as he shook Teyla awake, "Come on girl don't die on me again!"

Teyla coughed up blood before coughing normally, Her voice was weak, "John,,,,,? Is that you?" She coughed again.

"It's me" John said picking up Teyla into his arms, "Lets go home" he said, Teyla could only smile. The only thing she wanted more then ever now was to jost be in bed with John, and him holding her like he was right then and there. But then, should could wait until they got home...

But then again, could she wait that long?
