Chapter 22
When they arrived back at Jack's place, they unpacked everything and Sam put a load of wash through the machine. She was doing that when Jack's cell phone went off. Sam walked out of the laundry room when Jack hung up the phone.
"Jack what is it?"
"We've got to go back to the base. The planet we were on has been taken over by the Goa'uld," he told her seriously.
"What? The one with the marriage stone?"
"Yes."
"Oh, God," she replied worriedly.
"Lets go. Daniel already sent a message to Thor."
They both left in Jack's truck and headed to the base.
"Which Goa'uld is it?" Sam asked.
"Baal. One of the operatives managed to send a message to the council, who then sent Dad to the SGC with the message. The Tok'ra want to help us out on this one. They're sending five cargo ships to the planet. It will take a while to get there, and all the personnel on the base want to help take back the planet."
"That's good," Sam said.
Fifteen minutes later they arrived at the base, then a few minutes later they headed to the locker rooms. Jack started getting changed and noticed that Sam stood there watching him. He stopped and looked at her.
"Sam why aren't you getting suited up?"
"Jack. You know I can't got through the gate cause of the baby," she reminded him.
"Sorry Sweetheart. I'm going to miss watching your six."
"I know. Same here," she told him.
"I'll meet you in the control room. Okay?"
"Okay."
Sam stepped forward and gave him a kiss before leaving the locker room. She headed to the control room where she saw her father on the ramp surrounded by SG teams. He saw her up in the control room, so he worked his way up there. When he arrived, they both hugged.
"Sam why aren't you changed?" Jacob asked.
"The baby dad," she said.
"If some thing happened to me or the baby..."
"Okay, I understand. Where's Jack?"
"He's getting changed."
"Okay."
Sam pulled him to where there were no prying eyes and whispered, "Dad, can you do some thing for me?"
"What is it?"
"Watch Jack's six for me, please, since I won't be there to watch it."
"Of course I will," he assured her.
"Thanks dad, there is some thing else you should know."
"What is it?"
"Bring my fiancee-"
Then there was a bright light and Sam was gone. Jack showed up right then. When he saw the bright light, he looked at Jacob.
"Thor," he explained.
"Yes. Jack we need to talk, but not here."
"Briefing room," Jack said.
"After you."
They went up the steps to the briefing room.
"Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
"Is there some thing that you want to ask me?"
"Sam told you, didn't she?"
"She said before beam away 'Bring my fiancee' then Thor beamed her up to his ship. Care to explain?"
"Yeah, well, I asked Sam to marry me, and she said yes. So, Jacob, all we want is your blessing and for you to be happy for us."
"Just one question. How long have you been in love with Sam?"
"Since the moment she walked in here correcting me on her gender and standing up to two of my friends. I knew right then and there. I fell in love with her and I have been every since."
Hammond was in the doorway of his office and heard what had Jack just said. He smiled. Jacob knew that he was there.
"I know that you do love her, Jack, and yes, you've got my blessing, but-"
"I know what you going to say, Dad. Sam's already done the threading part," Jack interrupted.
Jacob laughs and patted him on the shoulder. "That's my little girl."
"Well to you she will alway be your little Sammie, but to me she is the smartest, most beautiful kick ass woman who I love," Jack told him.
"I know, son. Come on. We've got a planet to save."
"Okay, let's get this show on the road."
Jacob laughed as they both left the room and headed down to the gate room.
When Sam arrived on Thor ship "Home Safely," and she looked around and saw Thor, she walked over to him.
"Thor. You got the message?"
"Yes. Since you aren't allowed to go through the gate, I came to take you and anyone else who wishes, to the planet in question."
"Okay. How long will it take to get there?"
"One of your hours."
"Great. Okay, can you beam me back down? I know who can come with us."
"Use this stone when you are ready."
"Okay, thanks Thor," then she was beamed back down to the control room. She noticed that her father wasn't there.
She got on the phone to Janet to ask her to put a medical team together. She explained what was going on and that she was catching a ride with Thor. Once she finished on the phone she headed to the SG1 locker room and got changed. Then she headed to the armory for her P90, side arm, and two zats. Then she headed to the infirmary where Janet was getting her staff ready and packing supplies that would be needed for the trip. When she arrived, the nurses were packing everything that Janet had asked for. Then Janet and half of her staff were able to change.
"Ready?" Sam asked.
"Yes, and General Hammond gave us a go."
"Okay. Every one get close to me," Sam ordered. Sam was standing between boxes. When the group gathered round, she pushes the button and then they were on Thor ship. Sam walked over to where Thor was.
"Okay Thor. We're ready."
Thor moved couple of stones, and then they were in hyperspace. "I have already spoken to General Hammond, and he told me that your other allies will be there to assist in taking back the planet."
"We know, Thor."
When Jacob and Jack reached the gate room, Hammond was behind them. He walked up the ramp and turned to see the ones who had volunteered for the mission.
"Jack, Sam is with Thor and half of the medical staff. I just have spoken to Thor. They are an hour away from the planet."
"Thanks, Sir."
Then Hammond turned to the personnel and spoke to them briefly about the mission and thanked every one of them whom were risking their lives for the people on the planet in question. Then he gave Walter the nod to dial it up.
The three men got off the ramp, and a moment later the wormhole was formed. Teal'c then walked up the ramp with a stun grenade and switched it on. Then he threw it through the gate. They all waited for twenty seconds, then he gave Jack the nod.
"Okay, Campers. Move out," he directed. They all ran up the ramp and through the gate.
Jack started barking orders quietly, then they quickly and silently moved towards the main village while spreading out. When they reach the village, they could see Jaffa every where. All the men, women and children were in the Center Square. Jack looked through the scope that was on his rifle. He could see the first prime hitting a man across the head and the guy collapsed to the ground. The women and children were crying.
"Jacob? One of yours?"
Jacob had a look. "No, he not a Tok'ra."
"Good."
Then the Jaffa got his zat out and fired it once, so Jack aimed his shot at the guy's neck. The Jaffa went down. There was no noise since Jack had his silencer on his riffle. The other Jaffa looked around and started moving all directions to see if they could find the sniper.
Jack got on his radio and gave orders to split the Jaffa up and knock them out once just in case there were any Tok'ra in amongst them. They spit up and did what they had to do. Then some men showed up and Jack quickly turned around to see who it was. It was the Tok'ra. So Jack told them his plan, then gave them orders, which they obeyed. They all split up and worked their way around the village. Once in place, Jack fired the first shot with his zat, then the others followed suit.
Once all Jaffa were on the ground, Jack and Jacob stepped forward while the others watched there sixes. The group was relieved when they saw Jack. Julius got up from the ground and stepped forward towards Jack.
"Jack, I am pleased you are here. How did you know what had happened here?"
"I'll tell you later. Where is everyone else?"
"They've gone to the hidden cave behind the waterfall, and others managed to escape to the nearby villages to warn them about what has happened here. The rest of us tried, but ships came, and those solider came from every where. We didn't stand a chance, but three quarters of the village did escape."
"Okay. Is there a place where you guys can hide till we take care of the rest of these Jaffa?"
"Yes, there is."
"Good. Go. Here, take this with you. Wait till you hear from me. Okay?"
"Yes. Thank you for saving our lives."
"We'll talk about it later. First, get these people hidden."
"Jack. More soldiers have gone to the other villages."
"Okay. Thanks. We'll take it from here."
Julius got everyone up and they followed him toward the old ruins. Jack sent a couple of teams with them just to make sure that they get there okay. Once the village was checked out and secured, Jack got some of the men on top of the roofs as lookouts just in case. When the Jaffa came to, they were tired up. Jack got Teal'c to pull one of them to his feet.
"We're going to have a little talk, pal," Jack said to the Jaffa. Then Teal'c almost dragged him into one of the buildings, then left them alone.
"Are you okay? I know you are Tok'ra. Jacob told me that you are one."
"Yes, I'm well. I was the one who sent the message. I'm pleased you are here, but there is a problem."
"What problem?"
"Baal has taken many men from here back to his ship for them to become hosts. We both know what will happen when the symboite rejects its host."
"Yeah, I get the picture," Jack ran his hand through his hair "When is he due to return?"
"Soon. He just left with about a dozen men from this planet. He chose them himself."
"Well, it looks like we need to set a trap for him."
"He will know that you are here."
Jack look at his self and what the Tok'ra was wearing. "I've got an idea." Then he went to the door.
"Dad, Teal'c," he waved them over.
"What is it, Jack?" Jacob asked.
"We haven't got much time. Go into all of the homes, and grab all the men's clothes. Then get the Jaffa into them and then get all the Tok'ra into the armour so when Baal shows up he will see things haven't change. But Daniel, Teal'c and I will be in with the group so when Baal see us in our uniforms, he'll be more interested in us than what's really going on around him."
"Jack, are you crazy?"
"Jacob he's taken most of the men to his ship for hosts, for crying out loud! He's coming back for more. He's been picking them himself."
"Okay. The Asgard will be here in half an hour. Okay we'll do it."
"Good, now lets go."
Jack got some of the men to go into the homes to get the clothing that was needed, while the rest order the Jaffa to take off their armour and the Tok'ra put them on. Then the Jaffa put on the clothing. The rest of the SG teams stayed hidden and waited. They had just finished when the cargo ship arrived. They all waited. One of the Tok'ra spies went to greet Baal, and told him what one of the patrol parties had got.
"My Lord, a patrol has captured Tauri team SG-1. The woman of the team was killed my lord."
"Excellent. Where is my First Prime?"
"He was called to one of the villages, my Lord. He should be back soon. He left me in change until he or you returned."
"Good, you shall be rewarded. Bring the Tauri here."
"Yes, My Lord."
He went to get them with four of the Tok'ra who had to put the mark of Baal on their forehead. When they returned, Baal was smiling.
"The famous SG-1. The System Lords would be pleased to know that I have captured you."
"Yeah, right, so they could let you back into their club once again. I don't think so snake head."
Jack threw a goblet of grape juice in the guy face when he was laughing. That stopped after what Jack did to him.
"You will pay for what you just did."
"Taste good? I hope you love grapes."
"Yes, I do. What did you put in the drink?"
"Nothing but pure fruit juice," he said smiling, waiting for the stuff to work.
Then the SG teams showed up with the Jaffa prisoners. They looked at Baal. His eyes widened in shock.
"What did you do to me?" He was starting to have problems breathing.
"I'll get you for this." Then he collapsed on the ground. They all looked at him, then bubbles started to appear all over his skin and burst.
"Zat please," Jack held out his hand. One of the Tok'ra gave him the zat, and Jack shock Baal three times and then the body was gone.
"Well that's one less to worry about." Then he turned to the shocked Jaffa there.
"Baal is not a God. You saw what happened to him. Now you are free from him."
"What can we do?" one of them asked.
"How many have gone to the other villages?"
"Five hundred or more."
"Well, we'll let you guys get changed and a couple of Tok'ra will go with some of you to tell them to come back here because Baal wants to leave since he's got plenty of hosts for the time being."
They all agreed. They went back to the village and got changed then four Tok'ra went with four of the Jaffa. They left in the cargo ship to the first village. While that was happening Jack got on a radio and told Julius that it was safe to come out and to get one of the kids to go to the other hidings places to let them know that is was safe once again.
A few minutes later the villagers started to show up. They saw Jack and his team, and gave them a hug and thanked them for saving their planet. Jack looked up at the sky, closed his eyes and smiled. Most of them noticed that something strange was happening and then they all looked up as well.
"Jack?" Daniel asked.
"Watch."
Everyone looked up, then a couple of minutes later a mother ship appeared.
"Jack? What's going on?"
"Sam's on that ship. Thor ship arrived twenty minutes ago. I told her that Baal is dead and that the Jaffa is free now. She said that she would get Thor to beam her over to the mother ship. She told them that Baal is dead and that she carried a virus that could kill them and that the only way to live is to set the ship down on the planet."
"They must have realize that Baal didn't return."
"You got it."
Once the ship landed and the double doors opened, the men from the planet ran out to there wives, girlfriends and other family members. Then four Jaffa walked out with Sam. She sent a Morse code to Jack to tell him that she was set up. Both SG teams and the Tok'ra raised their weapons.
The four Jaffa walked over to them. They talked and argued for ten minutes. At that time Sam and Jack were looking at each other. The one who had his zat trained on Sam lowered it and Sam smiled. She went over to Jack where they shared a hug and kiss. Everyone from the village cheered, then Janet and her medical team were beamed down. They started working on the wounded while everyone else talked for a while. The Jaffa went back into the ship to let the other know that Baal was gone. At the same time more cargo ships showed up, bringing more Tok'ra.
"Better late than never," Jack said grinning while giving Sam a hug. They all walked back into the village to celebrate. Two of the Jaffa showed up.
"We are leaving and going home. Thank you for setting us free."
"No problem. Just remember that the war isn't over yet, but one day when it does happen it will be cause for celebration," Jack said. They agreed, then they left with the other entire Jaffa. They all left in the mother ship half an hour later.
Everyone celebrated late that afternoon with food, drinks, music and dancing, all having a wonderful time. After the mother ship left both Jacob and Jack sent messages back to the Tok'ra and the SGC about Baal and his Jaffa. Everyone was happy with the news.
They all stayed the night on the planet since everyone was drunk except for Sam, who didn't drink much. Later that night Jack and Sam walked back to their cabin for the night. They both made passionate love three times before they both fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
