Daniel turned to head for the ring room. "I'm going back over there." Jack jumped in his way.

"We can't Daniel. You see what's happening to the ship and that black hole. There's nothing to go back to. The ship is tearing apart."

Daniel wrestled out of Jacks hold. "I'm going over there Jack, and you're not stopping me. My family is about to die and I won't leave them."

As Cam and Teal'c moved closer to detain Daniel. Sam watched in horror as the Ori ship was litterly breaking up and being swallowed by the Black hole. Her heart was torn, knowing they could do nothing but watch this event play out. Her friend and her daughter were going to die, and there was nothing she could do about it. She had blown up suns, stopped the Replicators, helped in decimating the Ori, until now. All her skills and talents could not stop one single enemy from destroying a galaxy or stop Adria to save Daniels family. Slow tears were sliding down her face, even though she knew Daniel's heart was breaking trying to get back to his wife and child.

This is not happening. Please don't let this happen. Vala…………Eshera.

Daniel pulled his weapon on Jack, desperately pleading to go back. "No…no, you're not stopping me this time Jack; not any of you."

"Daniel I know what you're going through. I hate this as much as you do. But there's nothing we can do. We had no way out other than the ring room and It's gone Daniel; it's gone." Jack was hurting as much as Daniel, but he couldn't let his friend commit suicide.

Daniel's hand was shaking while his body was doing the same. "No……..no, not this time Jack. If my family is going to die, I want to be there with them. You………you can't ask me to sit back and watch them die. I……….I have to do some……….something."

Daniel looked defeated and his friends Cam and Teal'c could only watch him sink to the ground on his knees, trying his best not to waiver emotionally among his friends.

"No……….no they can't go through this alone. Please Jack………..please………..I have to g………go."

Cam pulled the gun out of Daniels hand, while Teal'c knelt down beside his friend. Words had escaped him and he tried to lend what strength he had to comfort his friend. The only thing Jack could do was hold his friend, while he crumbled to the floor and cried.

The Hata'k suddenly began to shake, as if being bombarded from outside. Sam could see the hole widening. She hoped they weren't being pulled in, but she saw debris from the Ori ship being hurled into space. She looked back at Jack and both their eyes met. They knew this was the most horrible experience that Daniel could go through. To do nothing about saving Vala and Eshera.

Eshera had combined her power with Vala and the white flames, combined with Adria's flames were melting anything and everything around them. The ship was but a burnt hull, suspended in space. The powers that all three women exuded was suspending them litterly on a platform of a burnt out ship.

Adria screamed taking on both her mother and sister. It's as if she was throwing a tantrum trying to defeat them. Eshera concentrated the bulk of their power pushing Adria towards the black hole. This new combined power of the white flame was also taking its toll on Vala. She could see that this was going to destroy Adria, but at what cost to her daughter Eshera. Her emotions where that of love for Eshera; but sorrow for Adria. Her memory came forward of wanting both her daughters to be with her. But she could only choose one and Adria was already a lost cause. In her mind, she didn't want to sacrifice either; but destiny was otherwise.

Mother, we must shove her thru. We can no longer hold onto this battle. She is too strong. Only the black hole will………….no mother; you can't hold her off by yourself. Nooooo……….

Vala placed her hand on Eshera's cheek and she was gone. Vala turned her full attention on Adria and floated towards her in a full rush of flames. Both Adria and Vala entangled and with the force of Vala pushing Adria thru the hole, she too was engulfed. Adria was gone, and so was Vala. The black hole stopped as if it had been plugged up. The entire black hole was gone, as well as the rest around the galaxies.

Eshera materialized on the Hata'k, looking around, she immediately rushed towards the viewing windows. The only thing she could see was the burnt out shell of the Ori ship. The black hole, Adria and now her mother, were gone.
