"You need to stop mother. This is not about me, its about you and how you've done everything in your power to stop me. You were simply a vessel for incubation, nothing more. Your life never had any meaning to anyone. That's why you were used, not me." Adria felt that would sting her mother.

"You……..you still don't get it do you Adria. My child was made from our love; Daniel and I. She would never use her powers for such evil. I had her because I could no longer bear to deal with you anymore. I wanted to love a child and see her grow to a beautiful young lady that would find her place in this universe and she would have parents that loved her unconditionally. I never meant to hurt you, but I couldn't stand the fact that you wanted innocent people to die at your whim. I have loved you Adria, but not at the cost of other lives. I still love you, but I can never stand by and let you hurt anyone."

That hit a nerve in Adria. She couldn't believe what was coming from her mother. "You mean you chose her over me. You have always chose others over me. Your friends, Dr. Jackson, and now her. I'll ask you one more time mother before I find out my way. WHERE IS SHE?"

Adria suddenly felt something unfamiliar, she turned to see Eshera standing with blue flames emitting from her hands.

Eshera stood defiant. "She's right here evil one. I am her daughter; I am the one you are looking for. Hello Sister."


Adria eyed Eshera standing defiantly before her. To her she was nothing and still just a clone.

"I know this is some trick from Ba'al. Somehow he has managed to insert certain powers to you. But make no mistake clone, I am not impressed. You are no sister and my mother has convinced you that you are."

"I know who I am Adria, whether you believe it or not. I understand now, I understand how you have become too powerful by tormenting innocent people, and especially mother. I know now that this will never end until you are destroyed. You won't stop here, you will destroy everything you come in contact with."

"Enough of your insane babbling clone. I no longer care why you are here. Time to claim this universe in my name."

Eshera braced for Adria too late and was thrown across the room. Eshera quickly recovered a little battered, but produced her flames, hitting Adria head on. Adria screamed being pushed back towards the cell wall.

Back in the holding cells the ship rocked as if being hit by some weapon.


"What the hell." Daniel sat up off the floor. His teammates felt the same force, as Aneteo looked around in confusion also.

Jack whispered to Sam and Teal'c. "Do you think Cam is coming to rescue us?"

"If he is, he better have a bigger weapon and bigger ship, cause we're going to need it." Stated Sam.

The guards were also reacting to the shaking of the Ori ship. They were in a state of confusion, Daniel noticed. Something was up and no one seemed to know what.

Daniel said a silent prayer. Please let Vala and Eshera be alright. Please.


Eshera pushed up from the floor, holding her own with the force field of flames she placed around herself. She beat back Adria's force, barely. Adria was relentless and was enraged further that Eshera was not a easy defeat.

Vala looked weary at Eshera fighting her own sister, even if they both were her children, she had chose Eshera over Adria after finally bonding with her. It still gave her a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach that Eshera had to fight to save her life and Adria was trying to kill her in front of her eyes. Vala tried to think of anything to distract Adria. Anything to stop this madness that Adria had perpetuated.

The force of their battle took on new dimensions. The flames both red and blue seemed to reach thru to the other tiers of the Ori ship. It was tearing the ship apart and by shear luck did not hit the cells that SG1 were held in. The ship continued to rock and Vala saw her chance to come between the two, not realizing she was emitting her own blue flame.

Vala moved slowly, standing up against the wall. Her strength but spent, say for the love of her daughter, Eshera. Vala reached out with her hand, feeling the terror of what was being unleashed. She could see blood oozing from Eshera's ears and nose. Adria was taunting her somehow. Vala could see it in her cruel illuminating eyes. She finally realized this was more than just a fight between her two daughters. More that some rival affection for their mothers love. But somehow Vala knew this was the ultimate fight between good and evil. That all her pain and suffering in being a host to Quetesh, having Adria and Eshera born of her body was being put to a test. She thought was this her punishment for all those years of running away from her past, to see those she loved ultimately destroyed. This she surmised, had to stop.


Mitchell looked out his ships viewer, still cloaked, to see what looked like flames swirling above the Ori ship like a small hurricane was forming. . But it also seemed as if the stars were disappearing.

The pit of his own stomach was gripped with fear. "Oh my God, it's a hole forming… a black hole. I've got to get over there."

Daniel and the rest could see that the guards were becoming exceedingly restless as alarms rang thru the ship. Again the ship rocked and everyone was thrown to the floor, including the guards. The ship was lurching back and forth and all parties in the cell were thrown both ways. The guards finally abandoned their post realizing it was every man for himself.

"Daniel, look; your cell door is bent. Can you slide thru?" Jack shouted.

Daniel immediately went into action trying to balance himself up against the swaying ship. It was hard to keep his balance and he could hear shouts of people outside the closed doors to their cells. Daniel tried but it wasn't enough room for him to squeeze thru or nothing to use to open the bars further.

Aneteo watched intently, knowing that SG1 may be able to escape, leaving him behind to die. All his plans had went down the tubes as all of his others had. He had failed again to capture SG1 and now the power that Vala had was possible non existent when Ba'al was killed.

I'm not finished yet. They die or I die, and I'm not going back defeated.

"Daniel Jackson, if you can, try using your feet to bend the bars further." Stated Teal'c.

"Good ideal Teal'c." Daniel continued as much as possible to kick against the bars. He could feel the bars give a little, but it would be a strenuous effort. But he had to try, to save his friends, to find Vala and his daughter.


Adria was winning. She was pushing past Eshera's flaming shield , and pushing her back towards the already melted walls.

In a even menacing voice Adria taunted Eshera. "See clone; I am superior to you in so many ways. You are an abomination to my existence. You are no match to me." Adria's eyes glowed even more brighter.

What Eshera lacked in power, she more than made up in spirit and determination. She could feel herself being weakened, but she refused to let anymore harm come to her mother. Breathing hard and bleeding, Eshera continued to deflect Adria's bombardment of flames.

"You are the one that is the abomination." Eshera shot back. "Everything that you are is evil. There is no love to save anyone for your so called Origin. You will wipe out everything that is dear to me and I can't let that happen."

"Then you are already defeated clone. There is nothing more powerful in this galaxy but me. Already my essence of power is felt far and wide. Our fight is but a glimpse into what I was destined to do, to be, and what I am. You have no cognizance of what my existence will do to this universe. I will shape this galaxy to my will and the Ancients will suffer for trying to stop me."

Vala slowly crawled thru the holes in the ship. Adria and Eshera were to distracted by each other to notice Vala concentrating on stopping Adria.
