Daniel was furious. Now he realized what Ba'al had been doing to Vala all this time. Daniel lunged for the guards weapon in his holster and pulled his P-90. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as everyone was moving all at once towards Daniel's intentions. But before he could fire off a shot at Ba'al. Ba'al moved his plan into action.
"VALA I NEED YOUR PROTECTION. ATTACK THEM ALL. THESE ARE THE ONE'S WHO HAVE HURT YOU. PROTECT ME………..NOW. KILL THEM ALL."
Vala obeyed the command. She thought her Savior was being attacked and the immergence of something inside her was taking over. The Red Flames immerged once again, emitting from Vala's body. Bodies were thrown everywhere inside the room, while Ba'al stood untouched. Vala sat up as the Red Flames began to take over.
In Daniel's Lab, Teal'c and Eshera were talking, when Eshera fell to the floor as if in pain, her body arching off the hard floor.
"NO MOTHER, NOOOOOOOO………..NOOOOOOO."
Teal'c immediately tried to assist Eshera by holding onto her while she convulsed. Without warning Teal'c, along with Eshera were engulfed in a Blue Flame. Tentacles raced outside, down the hall to the infirmary. SG1, Dr. Lam, the guards and Daniel were shielded by the Blue Flame. Vala's Red Flame seemed to be embattled into a fight with the Blue Flame. Ba'al watched as he was curious why the Black Flame that Vala had once produced had changed back to Red. However, he had an alternate plan and moved quickly down the hall, following where the Blue Flame was coming from. To Ba'al's amusement the Red Flames were following him, knocking out every guard and personnel he came in contact with. Alarms were going off and men and women from SGC scrambled to their assigned stations in case of emergency. Ba'al found were the Blue Flame was coming from and inside he saw Teal'c holding onto a women convulsing. When Ba'al looked closer, she appeared to look like the Orici.
"Prime uncloak yourself."
In an instant, Ba'al's Prime and another Jaffa slave uncloaked and immediately zatted Teal'c and Eshera. Both fell unconscious, but the Blue Flame still slightly emitted from Eshera.
"My Lord Ba'al, the Blue Flame, it still emits still from the woman. Is that the Orici?"
"It does not matter. We are here for one thing; let us proceed. Cloak yourself once again and attack anyone in our way. Active the gate, we must move quickly before reinforcements figure out our plan. Take the woman and I will obtain Vala Mol Doran."
"Yes My Lord."
The cloaked guard waited as the Blue Flames died down. He scooped Eshera up and headed towards the Stargate room. The cloaked Prime was zatting anyone down the hall, unnoticed. Once he was in the gate booth, Walter and General Landry were zatted unconscious and he shut down the alarm systems. He waited for his master's next orders. Ba'al returned to the infirmary. Everyone was unconscious, while Vala somehow was unconscious on the floor. Ba'al finally noticed that the Red Flame protecting him was gone. He lifted Vala from the floor, looking triumphantly at the unconscious members of SG1 and especially Daniel.
"You'll be hearing from me real soon Dr. Jackson. I will take good care of your family." Ba'al smiled an evil smell and headed for the gateroom.
"My Lord, everything is in preparation, what is your command?" Asked the Prime.
"Dial the gate to these coordinates. Contact my Ha'tak and have it meet us there. Make sure SG1 knows if they follow for any reason, Vala Mol Doran and the woman's life will be in danger."
The Prime obeyed and both the Jaffa slave and Prime followed Ba'al thru the gate with their captives headed for an unknown destination.
Daniel and Jack were the first one's to come around. Daniel was holding his head when he realized something felt wrong. As soon as he looked for Vala, the bed was empty. Daniel panicked and ran down the hall shouting for Vala and Eshera. Jack was barely coherent when the others started to move also. All he saw was Daniel running down the hall and his shouts for his wife and daughter.
"DAMMIT." Jack looked around and no Ba'al in sight.
"Airman sound the alarms. Find Dr. Jackson and alert the base. Our prisoner has escaped and Vala Mol Doran is missing."
The guards and AF's reacted to Gen O'Neill orders without question.
"Sam?…….Sam?" Sam was groaning along with Dr. Lam.
"Sam Vala's missing and Daniel just ran out. Ba'al's missing. Get to the gateroom and I'll find Teal'c."
"Oh God, no." Sam ran out towards the gateroom, with the alarms going off.
"Dr. Lam, we may need your help. If we can't find Vala. Come with me." Dr. Lam immediately followed Jack out of the infirmary.
"VALA……VALA. ESHERA………ESHERA; WHERE ARE YOU?
Daniels worst fears were coming true. Vala was gone and there was no answer from his daughter. Panic was setting in and he had the aching feeling that Ba'al was behind this again. Daniel's heart was racing and he felt his lungs burning for air. With personnel getting up from the ground in the corridors he looked at their faces as if hoping upon hope, one of them had seen Vala or Eshera.
God please, please don't let my family be missing……..please let me find them.
"DANIEL JACKSON."
It was Teal'c, meeting him in the hallway. "Teal'c where's Eshera? Have you seen Vala? Daniel grabbed onto Teal'c's arms, hoping the strong Jaffa had Eshera safe.
"Eshera is gone Daniel Jackson. Someone shot me with a Zatac from behind. I suspect we had hidden intruders."
Daniel dropped to his knees. Fear and grief hitting him like a sledge hammer.
"No……no……God no."
"We will find her Daniel Jackson. You have my word. I believe Ba'al is behind her kidnapping."
Daniels throat felt raw, knowing that Eshera was gone, but now Vala once again at his thoughts roamed to Ba'al last words before he lost consciousness.
"Oh didn't I tell you Dr. Jackson. Before I knew that you two were husband and wife; my charge Vala is loyal to me and she is excellent in bed. She is most grateful for my touch all over her exquisite body and let me tell you, she enjoys only my touch.
Ba'al's words played over and over in his head. He wanted to respond, but anxiety and anger were slowing building in his mind.
"Val………Vala is missing." Daniel could barely speak.
Teal'c raised his head, looking around the ciaos that Ba'al had caused, while Daniel was still trying to comprehend his loss. Teal'c believed it was his personal mission as a warrior to protect those in his care. SG1, Daniel, Vala, and Eshera were under his care, and now he had failed to protect his adopted sister Vala and daughter once again. He had no doubt at what he would do to Ba'al once he found him.
Finally Daniel looked up and gave Teal'c a look that he knew all to well. Rage, pure unadulterated rage.
"I'm going to kill Ba'al Teal'c. I'm going to kill them all."
