NA 4: Hello everyone, this is the second fanfic of the character Xion. The first one is Naruto Xion, so I'll make some small clarifications about the character's origin. It should be clarified that this is not a crossover and there will be no Naruto elements in the plot.
Summary so far: The traveler is a person who has been transmigrated to Naruto's world. There, his soul merged with Naruto's and, in time, he became a god. However, not feeling part of that world, he decided to seek his way back to his own world. To do so, he split his soul in two and created a second body to infiltrate the Stargate universe. His plan succeeded, but the Milky Way Ascended discovered the portal through which he arrived and closed it, separating his two halves into different universes. Thus begins this second story.
NA 5: Due to the epilogue of Naruto Xion, some people ask if the character has a split personality. My answer is that the character does not have a split personality or a split consciousness. He is a perfect fusion, you will be able to see it as the stories develop if you are not convinced. Also don't trust the MC's assessments of himself, as people often lie to themselves out of ignorance or fear. What happens there is something else, but it is part of the character development and will be explained in the plot. Thank you all for your support, now I leave you with the first chapter. I remind you that it is not necessary to have read the previous Naruto Xion fanfic to understand this one. Just read the summary.
Stargate O'Neill 1.
Xion opened his eyes and the first thing he felt was that he was alone. His other half was nowhere to be found and his mind was a mess.
Xion got up from the floor where he was lying after his soul had succeeded in infiltrating this universe, the Stargate universe. He could see that part of the plan was a success because he was right now in front of a mirror in his target's room in this universe and he could confirm it with the naked eye, plus he had assimilated his target's soul and had all his knowledge and experiences.
Xion was now a middle-aged man, with brown hair that would soon begin to show gray. His body was not athletic, but he was not fat either, and despite not possessing large muscles, he was fit.
-I am Jack O'Neill," Xion smiled, for although it was clear that something had gone wrong, his goal had been completed and he was now in another universe, which in turn meant that returning to his own world was not a vain hope.
Besides, in this world there was technology that he could use to increase his power as a god, so he would no longer fear that some other god would come for him. But all that was in the future, now he had to concentrate on his present and his current state.
Xion had assimilated Colonel O'Neill's soul, a crime no doubt, but he also had no doubt that he would thank him later.
Xion concentrated on his divine cells, which by this time should have absorbed the body of his target and be turning him into a god, but he was still a mortal, so he didn't understand what was going on...
His divine cells were... "Stunned", Xion could think of no other word. They were unresponsive and looked like an abandoned child in an unfamiliar forest. They did nothing and dared not touch anything. Xion grimaced. From their reaction, his cells had no idea what to do, it seemed that the change of universe left them in shock and they would not be able to recover soon.
He did not understand what was going on. His soul had no problem adapting to this universe, and it was as simple as when he arrived in the universe of the ninja world. But it seemed that it was not so simple for material things, to move from one universe to another.
That meant he was in big trouble. If he couldn't rebuild his divine body, he might as well kiss all his power and abilities goodbye. Even his soul power would be useless, as he needed his body to run it, and he doubted anyone would come to try to steal his soul so he could attack it. This was not that kind of universe, this was a technological universe. There was power, but it was far beyond his reach.
Xion frowned. He wouldn't have divine powers, until he figured out what the hell was going on with his cells, and for that he needed technology. For without his divine power and divine abilities, all his knowledge was useless, for everything he knew how to do depended on his power to exert his will over the things he wanted to change to achieve the desired effects.
In this world, chakra did not exist, and since his cells were paralyzed, there was no way for them to produce chakra for him. On the other hand, this body had no chakra channels or conduits, in this universe there was no such thing. In conclusion, goodbye divine abilities.
Taking away all his abilities and powers, Xion was still not helpless, because even such an eventuality had been foreseen. He expected something like the Ascended to intervene and seal his power, or forbid him to use it, as they did with Anubis. Not that his cells would become useless in this universe. But the fact was that such an eventuality of becoming powerless was foreseen, and the contingency plan for that was the body he now occupied.
"I'm Jack O'Neill," Xion thought. To many, Jack O'Neill was the protagonist of Stargate.
Jack O'Neill's life was a tragedy. His son committed suicide, his wife left him because he could not get over it, being left in oblivion. Although he avoided suicide thanks to another of the main characters, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Skaara of the Abidonians, with whom he formed a close relationship to the point of considering him his son.
Now he was Jack, one of his favorite fictional characters, and he had his memories, experiences and abilities. This body could not compare with his divine body, but he did not plan to fight with anyone. Xion was not a military man or a hero, he did not like to work for people, and in this world he was in charge, not Naruto. He was happy now, and in no way did he feel like being the self-sacrificing, responsible hero.
In this world, he was a mere mortal, and that meant he was weak and vulnerable. He could be killed in one blow, so he would not think of risking his life unnecessarily, nor did he feel like doing so.
Xion thought about his next steps. The only thing his personality and Jack O'Neill's were alike in was that they liked to make jokes and accuse people blatantly, and indeed, he was in the right mood for that, as being in this world had restored his hope.
The problem was that in everything else he and O'Neill were different. For one thing, Jack O'Neill was something he would never be: a military man and a hero. In his world, he was a common laborer and his entertainment was movies, reading books and, occasionally, playing a game.
He was once a big fan of video games and anime, but that changed as he got older. It wasn't that he didn't like them anymore, he just didn't like the new stuff that came out. He found them boring and simple, without any essence. Maybe they were of poor quality, or maybe he just got old, because his age before his death was no different than it was now.
As far as his feelings or experience of war, the closest thing was the war games he played from the safety of a computer. In his life, if he saw a mugging, he ran away. If there was a fight, he moved away. If people talked too much, he got bored. He was an introvert.
If he had replaced Teal'c, he would be doing great. He would be the perfect Teal'c. But he couldn't replace Teal'c because he didn't have the ancient genes. He had to replace the guy who won the hearts of most of the aliens in the original story, thanks to his charisma and good heart.
Did Xion have any charisma? How many friends did he have in his old life? Few? None at all? He couldn't remember, but it seemed to him that the second answer was most likely.
-Earth, if you're counting on me to make alliances, we're all dead," said Jack. Now he had to be Jack and manage without divine powers.
Naruto's personality in him led him to think of becoming a warrior and a hero, but Xion dismissed all such nonsense. Naruto was immature, and here he was in charge, so no heroic nonsense. He was too busy to get carried away with his other personality.
Besides, Naruto had no experience in war either, as they pacified the ninja world before there was any war. Of course, they assimilated the souls of many people with shady pasts, but that was like watching a movie, and he had seen many movies. In the end, only what happened to himself would affect him in any real way, and assimilating someone didn't mean he could feel any of what he felt.
On the other hand, it was not as if that knowledge was useless, because it made it clear to him that under no circumstances should he get involved in a war and he should act with caution. Jack O'Neill himself had been involved in a war or two, and in one he had his skull fractured and was in pain for days until he was found.
No, I definitely would not participate in any war. Wars sucked. He could kill his enemies without even caring. He didn't hesitate when killing hundreds of people in the ninja world, but war was an atrocity. There tens, hundreds, thousands and even millions of people died for no reason.
It was senseless nonsense, and killing innocent people would undoubtedly cause him trauma, because now he was a mortal again and could do nothing to prevent it...
Xion began to feel anxious and shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts. Becoming a mortal again was a difficult matter. It was better not to think about it and focus on what he had to do.
Xion thought about what to do as a human. Without his god power, the only clear advantage he had was knowledge of the future of this world, since he had the knowledge of the original history. He didn't remember any useful directions... He remembered Abydos... Jack O'Neill knew the direction to Abydos, but being O'Neill, that was of no use to him. I mean, he had no practical advantages, like knowing the address of the replicator android, so using the replicators was out of the question.
Jack couldn't even use the portal. He had no access to it. He was currently a retired military man and had been inactive since he went to Abydos. If by pure chance he remembered any addresses, he couldn't do anything about it now. And since he couldn't do anything and didn't remember any addresses, it didn't matter.
Xion frowned. He had just realized another disadvantage. His learning ability and intelligence had been drastically reduced. His perfect, godlike memory was gone. His knowledge was with him, but the emergency protocol had been activated in his mind and they had been sealed so as not to blow his deadly little brain.
"Well, knowledge of the ninja world wouldn't have done me much good in this world anyway," Xion thought. The loss of his intellectual capacity was a great blow, since as a god, he had an eidetic memory and did not forget anything he saw. He was now a full-fledged mortal again. "All the more reason not to push myself beyond limits," Jack thought.
"I have to make do with what I know of the original story," Jack thought. Jack O'Neill was not the best character for a transmigrant. The best character would be a minor Goa'uld, one who was young enough not to deal with the Goa'uld madness, or at least not fully face it. Of course, there were the Asgard, the Tollan and even the Nox. If he transmigrated to those races, he would be a god in just a day. But all those races were a danger to her divine cells... which were of no use to her now either.
Jack decided to put that issue aside. Maybe he could fix his cells later. He had to concentrate on his advantages and the good things about his current state.
The good thing was that, of all humans, he had replaced the most OP human in all of history, and if he did everything right, in a maximum of three years, he could already face the Goa'ulds, which was not necessary at the moment, since the Asgard were still present and if he managed to impress them, they would defend Earth and give him more time.
The problem with the plan to rely on the Asgard was that he was not Jack O'Neill. Also, he wasn't like other transmigrators who seemed to remember every dialogue or direction from the Stargate. He couldn't quote a single measly sentence, so he couldn't remember any conversation between O'Neill and Thor to imitate him and gain his trust by convincing forgery.
"I'd better acquire technologies as fast as I can, because if I rely on my charisma to get friends, in a couple of years the whole Earth will be in thrall to the Goa'ulds or, worse, destroyed," Jack thought. These guys didn't know what a catastrophe it was to have their charismatic savior replaced by a guy with no personality.
Xion could have been a god, but that's the way things turned out and nothing could be done about it. He had to be patient and do things according to his current limitations. Later he would worry about the loss of contact with his other half in the ninja world, his useless cells and his return to his own world. Now he was tired and needed rest.
With this thought, Jack sighed and went to lie down on the bed. Getting technology and friends was not the only thing in his future. Stargate was full of double-crosses and dishonest people with bad intentions. Chief among them, at first, was Senator Kinsey and that idiot Maybourne, his lackey, who helped form the terrorist faction of the NID.
The original Jack was a tough guy who stood up to everyone and came out alive, but he wouldn't bet a penny on himself allowing these conspiracies to take place. He had to take care of Kinsey and Maybourne before they created the rebel NID. That was a priority and he had an idea that might work. If not, he would have to see what life was like on other worlds. He wasn't such a good person as to see it all lost and be left to face the consequences.
After thinking for a couple of hours, Jack had more or less decided what course to follow. He couldn't do the same as the original Jack, because the original Jack was a tough guy and a hero. He was a gamer who preferred to use a sniper rifle, no close combat, no blustering in front of the enemy.
His style was to wait for his back to be turned and plunge a knife into his heart, attacking only when he was ready, not a second before. Besides, he was already too old to play the hero. If you added up his past life and the one he lived in the ninja world, he was already over a hundred years old. He was an old man and not old enough to fool around.
"Now to sleep and wait for the SGC command to call me," Jack thought, wondering how much longer it would take for Apophis to make his appearance...
Someone knocked on the door, interrupting his thoughts. Jack got out of bed and went to see who it was, finding two Air Force officers. "That was fast," Jack thought as he was briefed and ordered to report to the SGC.
...
The officers rushed him away and before he knew it, he was in General Hammond's office as he told him that this was his retirement assignment and that Apophis had interrupted his retirement by attacking the base.
Jack knew that the original Jack denied everything and said he didn't know or have any idea what was going on, but Jack would not do the same and responded with an expression and face of circumstance that would prompt the general to ask what he was thinking, or so he thought, because he hadn't had time to adjust to this body and didn't know if he was acting according to what he believed.
-Do you know anything about what happened here, Colonel? Anything you left out of your report? -asked General Hammond, who already had his own suspicions.
That was perfect for Jack, because it gave him a chance to put things in order and perspective early on, so he spoke up:
-I omitted two things, General. First, I omitted my own judgment about the mission and my encounter with Ra as paranoia. And second, I left people behind and didn't report it," Jack confessed. General Hammond nodded and waited for more details.
-As for the people I left behind, Dr. Daniel Jackson got a wife and I guess his life here on Earth, being mocked by the scientific community, didn't interest him much. That's why he decided to keep her after we had a bomb blow up in Ra's face.
"As for the second, I am afraid we are in serious trouble, because if what you say is correct, in my opinion, the Earth faces a serious danger.
"You see, sir. Abydos, the planet our expedition reached, was a desert inhabited only by slaves. There was nothing like a factory or even a toilet. But while we were there, Ra arrived in a spacecraft. A spacecraft!" he repeated. -And as much as I've thought about it all this time, I can't figure out where he got it from. Unless Ra had magical powers, I can only think that this world was just a tourist spot for him and that Ra came from somewhere else.
"Even considering that, it would be incomprehensible that only Ra's ship existed on that other world, or that the little Naquadah the Abydosians mined was enough for Ra to build a spaceship. Besides, there was the portal.
"From his actions, it was evident that Ra was familiar with the use of the portal. In fact, from the way he planned to attack Earth, he seemed to be experienced in its use for military purposes. That led me to wonder why this individual would leave such valuable technology abandoned on a slave planet. Then, I thought, the portal really wasn't that valuable to him.
"And that led me to the conclusion that it was likely that Ra had dozens, perhaps hundreds of other portals at his disposal, as well as hundreds of planets that were his slaves," Jack explained, observing General Hammond's alarmed expression. Of course, this is all just a figment of my imagination and I don't like to base reports on speculation," said Jack seriously. Then he pretended to be crestfallen. But if you've called me here, I guess my imagination wasn't so wrong after all, and we're in big trouble," Jack added, making General Hammond even more worried, considering all the possibilities.
Jack knew that, at this stage of the story, at best they would think there was another Goa'uld, and his plan was to make them see the real extent of the threat. From the look on General Hammon's face at this point, he had already figured it out, so he continued:
-General, who was it that came through the door? -Jack asked directly. General Hammond got up from his chair and headed for the door.
-Colonel, follow me," said General Hammond with a worried expression.
...
The general led him to a makeshift morgue, where he showed him the corpse of a Jaffa. Jack turned away when he saw the bag on the dead Jaffa's abdomen. He knew that Goa'uld came out of those bags when Jaffa died, and he didn't want to be their next victim. That hadn't happened in the original story, but in situations like this, he wouldn't bet his life on the story as he knew it.
-Have you ever seen anything like this before? -General Hammond asked and Jack shook his head.
-No, that's why I stepped aside," said Jack, looking at the doctor for an explanation.
-It's a pouch, like that of a marsupial. We don't know much more, we haven't performed the autopsy yet," explained the doctor.
-That's reassuring! -said Jack sarcastically. Especially considering there might be something inside that thing. You're very professional to allow us to loiter around here without knowing what's inside, and considering you know where this man came from," Jack accused. The doctor frowned.
-The marsupials' bags are for carrying their young..." Jack looked at him as if he were stupid.
-Do you think this guy would carry his children in that bag? -The doctor looked indignant. Haven't you seen a movie called Alien? -asked Jack, and the doctor changed his indignant expression to one of fear, interrupting his scientific retort. It seemed that horror movies seemed more relevant to him than his scientific ideas. Jack looked at him coldly.
-We're waiting," said Jack, casting a meaningful glance toward the Jaffa bag. The doctor seemed hesitant, looking at General Hammond with puppy dog eyes.
-Man, don't go crying. If whatever's in there hasn't jumped out, it's probably already well dead," Jack consoled.
The doctor perked up as he remembered his scientific knowledge and regained his composure, bravely approaching, putting on gloves and reaching in.
A few seconds later, the doctor looked frightened again and had to grit his teeth to keep from pulling his hand away. Jack and General Hammond had moved a few feet away, just in case. The medic gritted his teeth as he held something and then pulled the Goa'uld out, laying it on top of the bag in full view of everyone. As Jack had guessed, he was already dead, but that didn't alleviate the apprehension in everyone's expressions.
-I think the next time we encounter aliens, it would be wise to subject them to a thorough medical examination in a secure room," Jack cautioned, and General Hammond nodded as he related the rest of the story of how the Jaffa got there and took him to the Stargate room.
...
A couple of minutes later, they were in the portal room, which was identical to the one in the original story, and they were also preparing a bomb, just like in the original story.
-General, Abydos is a desert where only common people live, struggling to survive. They pose no threat to us, and if I'm not mistaken, and after seeing their morgue, I know I'm not, they don't even know who attacked us," said Jack, pointing to the plasma burn marks on the walls.
-You are very perceptive, Colonel O'Neill. And from what you've told me, you should have relied more on your "imagination and paranoia" and written your full report," Hammond said with a sigh, conveying a tone of reprimand.
-I'm afraid I wasn't trained to trust my paranoia, sir," Jack apologized, hoping his expression reflected regret and repentance.
-Yes, I suppose I would have been reprimanded for being alarmist," General Hammond said. But now we need to know who went through the Stargate and if your assumptions are correct..." General Hammond said no more.
-Sir, let me return to Abydos. I think if anyone can find clues as to what has happened, it is Daniel. He helped us find the direction back to Earth, and maybe there's more to Abydos. After all, even if Abydos is not Ra's home planet, he visited it regularly, so there might be more clues there," Jack asked. General Hammond looked at him thoughtfully.
-Colonel, if what you said earlier is true, it is possible that one of these beings has come to Abydos looking for answers about the disappearance of their ally, which makes that place unsafe," said General Hammond. Jack nodded.
-Sir, I have a way to find out if Abydos is in enemy hands," said Jack.
...
After that, Jack sent the iconic box of tissues to Dr. Daniel Jackson and waited for a reply. While waiting, he ran into Kawalsky, who fortunately was busy reminiscing about his adventures and didn't pay much attention to him.
-Sir, if Daniel responds, we should be ready," Jack explained as he sent the box of napkins.
-Colonel, let's not be hasty. There are security protocols we must follow in case they respond to your message. There will be a meeting at which I expect you to present a report that includes your assumptions about this attack," General Hammond explained.
-Sir, I'll start right away," said Jack to get rid of Kawalsky.
Jack didn't remember that meeting, but it had to have taken place, because he still had yet to meet Captain Samantha Carter, the number one genius in the entire galaxy and the one many fans were in love with.
The woman was the second most OP character after Colonel O'Neill, just a hair short of being a Mary Sue. She was a brilliant scientist and seemed to have mastered all areas of knowledge, from physics and astrophysics to chemistry and mathematics. In addition, she was an engineer, mechanic, electrician, combat expert, pilot, had participated in a few wars and was a strategist...
So much for such a young person; she could only be described as a prodigy. However, she was not a bad character, and that was due to her charismatic personality and how easy it was to empathize with her. Maybe she could take her place by convincing Thor to protect Earth, Jack thought as he finished his report and tried to remember more details of the plot, but it was useless, he couldn't remember anything important from the meeting, apart from the introduction of the captain and the discussion about whether she was worthy of being part of the team.
Jack shook his head and sent his report to General Hammond. In it he included his theories about the existence of more Ra-like aliens and more Stargates. He then gave a brief presentation following procedures that he barely remembered and which, as he recalled, were a nuisance to O'Neill.
Once finished, he started playing solitaire, but a couple of minutes later, the alarms sounded for the activation of the Stargate.
...
As Jack expected, the box of napkins was returned empty with a message from Daniel inside. General Hammond reinstated him to active duty and shortly thereafter, Jack was back in uniform, standing in General Hammond's briefing room before more people than he expected. Kawaski, Ferreti and the General Hammond he already knew were present, but the others were strangers and there were five of them.
-Are we all here? -asked Jack, knowing that Carter was missing.
-Where is Sam? -asked the general. Jack waited in silence and, seconds later, Captain Samantha Carter appeared. As she apologized for her tardiness, Jack wondered why the general called her Sam. It was an inappropriate way to refer to a subordinate, unless they already had a friendly relationship?
-Captain Carter has been working on the Stargate project for several years, and if this mission is approved, she will be assigned to your team," explained General Hammond as he introduced her.
At that moment, Jack remembered that she had been there for years. He nodded and continued reading his report, occasionally interrupted by Captain Carter's technical explanations. Jack nodded wordlessly and continued with his brief report. He then laid out his theory that Ra came from another planet other than Abydos and had dozens, or perhaps hundreds, of Stargates.
-Sir, that's not possible," Carter interrupted. Jack raised an eyebrow to prompt him to explain. Sir, we've tried other random address combinations and none of them have worked so far," he explained. Jack nodded.
-That's simple. Since I don't think those who built the Stargate planned to break their spine, if they had one, by turning the wheel, I assume that the original device had another part that served to mark the direction, similar to what we found on Abydos. If so, this works like a telephone and we are trying to make it work just by having the handset or the box. That means it is already a miracle that it has worked so far. Maybe there's something special about the address we've dialed," Jack explained, leaving Carter stunned. Then she looked excited.
-That's brilliant! -exclaimed Carter.
-It's called common sense," said Jack. General Hammond cleared his throat to bring Carter out of his excited state.
-Sir, the implications of this are enormous and could support Colonel O'Neill's explanation," said Carter, supporting his theory.
-Well, if we all agree...
-Colonel," interrupted an officer present, who by his insignia appeared to be a major. Jack did not remember him and did not know his name. It was possible that he was in the series, but since he did not recognize him before, he did not think it was important. I think, speaking of Earth's safety and considering your own assumptions, it is in our best interest at this time to bury the portal to prevent our enemies from reaching Earth," said the major.
-That would not be a good idea in any case," Jack said, annoyed at the interruption. First of all, let's assume that our enemies can only get through the Stargate.
"In that case, it would be enough to ensure that they can't dial Earth or seal the portal once activated for nothing to happen. In this way, the possibility of enemies crossing over would be eliminated, and your proposal to bury the portal would only take away a valuable strategic advantage, with which we could explore thousands of worlds, obtain resources and acquire advanced technology, among many other things. Therefore, it is an absurd idea.
-Secondly, these extraterrestrials have huge ships. Ra's was so big that it needed a pyramid to land. If you "buried" the Stargate, they would arrive using their ships. It is not a matter of avoiding provoking them or hiding. Ra intended to destroy us without even knowing us, without asking who we were or following any other formality. Our mere existence was a threat to him, and that is why he tried to destroy Earth.
"Tell me, Major, after listening to my explanation, which is part of my report, do you consider that the best solution to keep Earth safe is to bury the Stargate? -Jack asked. He was upset and it showed in his words, but he managed to maintain a neutral tone.
Jack didn't remember the idea of burying the portal being mentioned so much at different stages of the original story. The idea was so absurd that discussing it was a waste of time. The Major seemed to want to retort, but Jack narrowed his eyes to make it clear to him that if he said another stupid thing, he might not survive until the next day. The man understood the warning and kept silent.
-Well, if there are no reasonable objections, I think there are some kidnapped people who need our help, and to give it to them, we need some clues," said Jack, looking at General Hammond.
He needed to have access to the portal and for the Stargate project to get underway, or else he would be dead in a few years, no matter what possibilities this world might offer, and that would be a cause for eternal regret.
General Hammond dismissed the proposal to bury the portal and kicked off the mission, giving them a day to return or report back. Jack headed straight to the armory and selected his equipment, replacing the M16 rifle with the P90s, whose specifications in his mind indicated that they were more effective weapons against armored enemies such as the Jaffa.
Jack had his entire team carry these weapons and armed himself with a couple of good knives. He didn't expect to face Apophis and, if he could avoid it, he wouldn't, but it was better to be prepared.
...
After everyone was organized, the portal was activated and he and his team crossed it, encountering Skaara and Daniel. Skaara was one of his favorite characters in the series, but she was one of the ones who appeared the least.
After saying hello and being made to drink some sort of high-octane fuel that nearly asphyxiated him, Daniel explained that the new alien did not come from there and offered to show him a discovery he had made in the pyramid.
Jack ordered his team to be vigilant and handed his P90 to Skaara after Skaara refused to follow him. Jack knew Apophis was about to arrive because the mission time had not been changed, and to give Skaara a chance to fight for his life, Jack handed him his weapon and warned him not to fool around, assuring him to be alert due to the presence of enemies outside.
-Daniel, I wouldn't leave my wife in a dangerous area knowing that at any moment an alien could walk through that door," Jack warned before leaving. Daniel looked alarmed.
-Do you think they will come here too? -asked Daniel.
Jack pointed to the weapon he had handed to Skaara to show her how seriously he took her warning. Seeing that the situation was serious, the meeting ended and Daniel ordered most of those present to return to their village, while the rest were to guard the portal in earnest, along with Kawaski, Ferreti and other soldiers.
Afterwards, Daniel took them to the caves beneath the pyramid, taking his wife with him as well. Jack did not mind altering the plot regarding Apophis in this regard, since he was not dependent on Apophis' actions to carry out his plans to acquire technology.
Once Daniel took them to the cave, his theory of multiple Stargates was confirmed. Jack showed himself to be less than impressed by the discussion between Daniel and Carter.
-Have you discovered anything else? -asked Jack, interrupting his useless ramblings. He needed to find Ra's treasure chamber to find the eye of Ra, something that could be useful to him.
These directions were also fundamental, but he already had them in his hands and did not need to waste time listening to explanations about something he already knew.
-Jack, there could be thousands of doors out there...
-Colonel O'Neill already knew or suspected there were more doors, so this discovery is no big deal to him," Carter explained, interrupting Daniel. Jack nodded.
-That's... impressive," said Daniel. Jack looked at him menacingly. From his words, he seemed to think Jack was too much of an idiot to think of such a thing. Daniel cleared his throat uncomfortably.
-I don't know, Jack. This is a maze and I haven't finished exploring it all," said Daniel hurriedly.
-Well, the main thing now is these portal addresses. If what they talked about earlier is true, maybe if someone calculates the movements of the planets, we can access other addresses without the need for a dialing device," said Jack, leaving Daniel stunned and Carter excited. Jack shot Daniel a menacing look again. Daniel cleared his throat uncomfortably.
-That should be possible," said Daniel, looking at Carter, who nodded repeatedly.
-Any idea which of these addresses was used for the attack on Earth? -Jack asked as Carter seemed absorbed in her own thoughts and Share sent a meaningful look to Daniel so he wouldn't get too excited.
Jack was wondering what would happen if she didn't let him return to Earth when gunshots rang out and he and Carter ran back to the portal.
...
Upon arrival, they found six dead Jaffa, Ferreti wounded and one dead Abidonian.
-Where is Skaara? -Jack asked. Although he was already imagining his fate as he picked up the gun he had borrowed, lying a couple of meters from the doorway. It was out of bullets, which implied that he must have fired it before he was captured.
-He stayed behind so we could retreat, as there were too many of the alien's men. Even so, Skaara managed to take down two before he was captured," Kowasky reported. We then managed to repel them and almost eliminated his men, but he used Skaara and an energy shield to escape," he added.
-I saw the direction," said Ferreti, holding a nasty burn on his right side and struggling to stay awake while Kowasky applied pressure to his wound, which was more of a burn. Had it hit a little higher and in the center, Ferreti would be a corpse, because his vest was useless against the goa'uld plasma discharge. Jack nodded, ordering a soldier to mark Earth.
-Stay away from them, there's some kind of parasite in their belly bags, and we don't want to find out what they can do if they get out of there," Jack warned the soldiers and the Abidonians approaching the Jaffa bodies. You guys, take them carefully. We'll take them for the medics to study them and we can also take a close look at their equipment and armor," said Jack.
With little difference, things had turned out as before, and Skaara had been captured. Jack gritted his teeth at the stubbornness of that idiot who had not listened to him.
