Here's Chapter 3! Hope you like it! Please review! :) I know it's short. Sorry...


"SG-1, you have a go. Good luck and God speed."

Jack stepped through the gate, feeling the comforting presence of Carter, Daniel, and Teal'c beside and behind him. His team. They would back him up. I hope Daniel is ready for this mission. Not having all of his memories back...I hope he'll be okay. Heck, he might be more ready for this mission than he is for the "real world". He lived for a while on that planet with the nomads before we found him. Please help this mission to go well. One mission isn't too much to ask is it? Jack felt a hand on his shoulder and glanced back to see Daniel looking at him, giving him a short nod, his eyes saying more than he ever could with words.

Reassurance was there, along with a slight amusement that only Daniel could have under these crazy circumstances.

Jack nodded briefly with a half-smile (Get out of my head, Danny.) before beginning his survey of the foreign landscape before him. The gate was placed in the middle of a huge field. In the distance hills appeared in one direction, forest in another direction, not quite as distant. In a third direction, cliffs seemed to rise up out of nowhere, his sharp eyes able to make out little slits that were likely huge caves. He caught himself planning an escape, planning for all the emergencies that could happen, and some that couldn't happen. Chill, O'Neill. Nothing has happened yet. "I'll take point. Teal'c, watch our six."

Daniel surveyed the landscape around him, his senses on alert. He felt...uneasy. Something tickled his mind, told him not all was well. Something's wrong. As if in slow motion, Daniel saw shadows flicker up and out of the brush of the meadow, weapons in their hands. Most of the weapons seemed primitive, but one of them he recognized as a staff weapon. The whole landscape seemed shadowy, flickering, now. The one holding the staff weapon began to fire, unearthly screams filling Daniel's ears. Daniel saw Jack beside him, the Colonel firing his weapon like mad. Daniel saw the staff blast a second before it hit, his heart stopping just as he knew Jack's was. His friend fell to the ground and Daniel knew he was already dead. It was a fatal shot. Daniel felt as if his heart had been torn out of his chest. Another loss, but this one was his best friend. He knew he didn't remember everything that made them friends, but the feeling was still there. With a suddenness that made Daniel feel dizzy, the world cleared. The shadows were gone, his friends were whole and alive, there was no firing, no screaming. He had stopped walking at some point and Jack was turning towards him in concern.

"Daniel?" he prompted. Jack paused when he saw the look on his young friend's face. "Daniel, what's wrong?" Jack asked.

Daniel didn't have time to answer. Forms were rising out of the grass. "Jack!" Daniel cried a warning, already raising his gun. His eyes sought for the one with the staff weapon, determined to take him out before…... There. NO! Too late. "JACK!"
