Jack
After we were dismissed, I was asked to locate the Danny, Danni, and Yugi to let them know that they were picked for this mission. I found Sammy in his, Joey, Tristan, and Yugi's room. He appeared to be taking some sort of medication. When he spotted me, he sheepishly explained, "I have to take my medicine if I'm not feeling well. It's a very rare condition in our time. Danni has to so the same, but her condition is the opposite of my own and equally as rare."
"Can you locate your sister and Danny, and send them to the locker-room," I asked him. "It's their turn to go on a mission."
Sammy nodded and replied, "Danni says that she's on her way and if she spots Danny, she'll tell him."
"Good. Thanks kid, you just made this a lot easier for me," I told him.
Sammy looked at me, "Would there be any problem if I tagged along? Danni and I are a lot more reliable than walkie-talkies if you're in need of stealth."
"Let's go and speak with General Hammond first," I said with a grin.
Sammy looked excited, "Alright!"
"Now don't go and get your hopes up," I warned him. "You might not get to go on this mission."
Sammy nodded and followed me to Hammond's office. After a few minutes, General Hammond asked for a small test to be done. This involved telling Sammy to have Danni find Carter and have her call us from a nearby phone. A few seconds later, Sammy looked at us, "Danni says that Sam's calling right now."
Within seconds, the phone rang. It was Carter wanting to know what was going on. I clued her in and asked that she give Danni a phrase or something. "Danni says Sam said no to the fishing trip you keep asking her about and that it's because she has too much stuff to do," Sammy said.
Sure enough, that was the exact message. Sammy was cleared to go. We met in the gate-room and I looked over my 'team'. Today, it was made up of the main group, the Twins, Yugi, and Danny. Danni fidgeted in the uniform that she was given, "This is really uncomfortable. It's all stuffy and heavy. I like my own better."
"What is yours like then," Sam asked, "so that we can try to get your uniforms in a similar material?"
A grin appeared on Danni's face, "It looks like this." A bright light surrounded the girl and within seconds, it faded. I couldn't believe my eyes; Danni had white hair, green eyes, and was wearing a black and white outfit. It looked almost like Danny's. "Besides, I find it easier to use my powers like this. There's a lot less strain on me that way."
Sammy and Danny nodded in agreement before doing the same as Danni. "Oh, by the way," Sammy spoke up, "If you want to avoid confusion between my sister and Danny…"
"I was going to let you know that I go by PhantomBrat," Danni added quickly. "It tends to work back home when Dad, Aunt Dani, and I are in the same area or if the rest of the family, besides Sammy, wants one of us. It cuts down on the confusion."
Just before we were ready to leave, Malik and Ryou dashed in. "We were told to tell you that we're to come with. Apparently, the walkie-talkies will be much too noisy and this is a mission in need of stealth," Ryou explained.
"But Malik doesn't have a yami," Yugi pointed out.
Malik looked at the ground, "Actually, Yugi, I still have the powers of a hikari so we can still communicate through the Link. And when we get back I need to tell everyone something."
"Let's get this rescue party started," Danni exclaimed with excitement. Yugi, Ryou, and Malik stared at her. "What? I'm excited to get out of here. Do you realize how boring it is to be cooped up all day and not allowed to fly?" Blank faces continued to stare at her. "I guess not."
Danny had to multiply himself four times to cover those of us that the Twins couldn't. Sam and Danni had been paired up for the trip through the Stargate; as had Sammy and Yugi. Once we were ready, the three of them (not counting the copies of Danny) made us invisible and held onto our wrists to keep up the invisibility as we went through.
Danni
After we had gotten through and out of sight of possible enemies, we were split up into teams of two. Sammy and Jack were paired up, as were Ryou and Sam, Danny and Yugi, Teal'c and Bakura, and Daniel and Malik. This meant I was stuck with Yami. Great (insert sarcasm). This was the last thing I wanted right now. "Anyone want to trade or something," I pleaded. Unfortunately, I was stuck since apparently everyone noticed that I had been purposefully avoiding Yami for the past few days. Not even Bakura was going to take Yami's place.
We split up and headed in different directions.
^This stinks, Big Brother.^
^^Everyone noticed that you've been avoiding Yami every time he enters the room you're in. I think they know that he just wants to apologize^^
^I guess this is 'big brother code' for hear him out and quit complaining?^
^^You got it little sister.^^
^Alright. I'll quit whining about this whole thing.^
^^That's the spirit. Besides aren't you supposed to be the innocent one?^^
^Hey, even Lights have their moments.^
Sammy 'flickered' the Link, which meant that we should keep it open in case of an emergency. Yami looked at me when we took a few minutes break. "Danni, I wanted to…"
I caught movement in the tree line, not far from where we were hiding. "Get down," I said just before I got hit by some sort of energy weapon. I think it was a stun blast, but whatever it was knocked me off the cliff behind me. I hit the ground hard and darkness claimed me.
Yami
I was trying to apologize to Danni when we were attacked. She was knocked over the edge of the cliff by a stun blast. I decided to follow behind her before our attackers realized that there were two of us. As I carefully slid down the steep wall, I heard shouts. I reached Danni and dragged her into a cave that I had missed on the way down. I grabbed some of the vines that grew nearby and used them to better hide the cave from sight.
^^Yami, what happened to my sister? I felt her pain just before it felt like she passed out.^^
**We were attacked. Don't worry, we're safe for now.**
^^How is Danni?^^
**She's unconscious, but I think she's waking up now. She got hit by some sort of energy blast.**
*Yami, Sammy had Bakura tell Ryou who me what happened. I'm going to contact Ryou and see if he can ask Sam if she knows what Danni was hit with.*
**Alright aibou..**
*Ok, Ryou says that Sam wants to know what color the blast was.*
**Blue.**
*Ryou just said that Sam said is was a stun blast from a weapon they call Zats. He says that she also said not to allow Danni to get hit by another as it may, scratch that, will kill her.**
**Understood. I will inform Sammy that I will do my best to protect his sister.**
I did as I said.
^^You'd better. Danni is to me like Yugi is to you.^^
**I understand.**
Danni's eyes opened and she groaned in pain. "Are you alright, Danni," I asked.
She shook her head, "I can't move without hurting and I think my arm's broken." She tried to move her left arm and winced, "Yup, definitely broken. I need you to set the bone. But you're going to have to re-break it if I've been out for more than an hour."
I looked at her, "Why would I need to re-break your arm?"
"I'm a really fast healer and the last time this happened, it took four days to heal," Danni replied.
I didn't have to re-break her arm since she had only been out for about ten minutes. After I got it set, I glanced at the entrance of the cave. It looks like we're stuck here until the others finish the mission and come for us. I told Danni this and she sighed. "I wanted to apologize for my jumping to conclusions and getting upset at you the other day," I said. "I didn't realize that you and Sammy are like myself and Yugi or Ryou and Bakura. Had I known, I would have noticed that."
Danni nodded, "I need to apologize as well. I shouldn't have avoided you when you wanted to say sorry."
"I understand," I replied.
Danni groaned again, "I don't feel so well all of a sudden."
"What's wrong, Danni," I asked, concerned for her.
"I forgot to bring my medicine in case I needed it," she said. "I hope Sammy brought it with him."
"You can rest until they come to get us out of here," I said.
Danni nodded and leaned her head on the side of the cave. Within moments she was asleep. I decided to rest as well, but summoned a Shadow Creature to keep watch. Dark Magician came out and took watch near the entrance.
Sam
Ryou and I were close to the meeting site. We decided to split up earlier to avoid detection. It was a good thing that we had the teens with us, because when Ryou told me that Yugi said that Atem informed Sammy that Danni was hurt, I was able to warn him to keep Danni from getting hit by another Zat. Sammy was right about being better than walkie-talkies. These teens were far more reliable and they didn't break up with static if they were a good distance away from each other.
Ryou contacted Bakura and found that he and Teal'c were not far from our location. After everyone but Atem and Danni checked in, we headed into the camp where the Tok'ra spy was held captive. It was Sammy and Jack's job to sneak in and free the prisoner. The rest of us were there to cover them.
We freed the Tok'ra and headed to the cave that Atem described. Apparently he had sent a mental image to Yugi, who, in turn, shared it with Ryou and Malik. Ryou sent the same image to Bakura, who sent it to Sammy. This whole thing was confusing, even for me; but at least it was easier than trying to locate it through verbal descriptions.
We reached the area that Ryou said was the correct location, but I saw no sign of a cave.
Ryou
"I'm going to contact Bakura and see if he can have the Pharaoh give me a sure sign that we have the right location," I told Sam. She nodded.
{Bakura.}
[What is it?]
{Could you contact the Pharaoh and have him give us a sign that we are in the right place?}
[Fine.]
Within seconds a vine moved. "The cave's over there," I told Sam, pointing in its direction.
We entered the cave and found that Danni was not doing too well. The Pharaoh looked up at Sam, "She's got a slight fever."
[Ryou, Sammy says that he's there and just wanted me to tell you.]
{Thank you Bakura.}
[Whatever. We're not far from there, so we should arrive in a few minutes. Let the baka Pharaoh know that his runt caught up with us.]
{Ok.}
I passed the messages along and waited for Sammy. He, Jack, and the rescued Tok'ra entered the cave. Once he saw Danni, Sammy knelt at her side. "Not good, not good at all," he said. "Danni's having one of her 'attacks'. Did anyone bring any juices or drinks?"
Sam spoke up, "I did. What do you mean that she's having an attack?"
"Danni had a really bad fever when we got nearly full access to our powers and it's affected her since," Sammy said. "I should have known this was going to happen when she had ice cream instead of dinner a few nights ago. May I have the drink that you said you had?"
Sam nodded and handed him a water bottle. We watched as Sammy mixed a powder into it. When he finished shaking the bottle, he sat Danni up and had her drink it. "Tastes nasty," she whispered, refusing to take any more.
"Come on, sis," Sammy pleaded. "You need to finish it before we have a repeat of the last time."
There was no reply as she had fallen asleep. Sammy teared up, "Danni…"
After everyone got back, we headed to the Stargate. Teal'c carried Danni on his back to make travel faster. We didn't stop to rest the entire time and made it to the gate under the cover of night. Danny covered Daniel with his invisibility and they headed to the DHD to enter the gate address for home. Danny came back for half of the group, making sure that Danni was part of it. He took them through the Stargate while Sammy used his invisibility to take us through.
