A/N: Thanks for the reviews. In case of any confusion, this chapter and the ones before it take place during Season 8's "New Order". Also have a bit of a homage to Season 6's "Meridian" in here somewhere.
Previously
"I recently found out that….." Willow couldn't finish what she wanted to say as suddenly the entire ship started to shake violently.
"Willow Rosenberg…. Major Carter" said Teal'c, "we have arrived, and there seems to be a problem"
Goa'Uld Tel'Tak, Vicinity of Hala
"Major Carter" said Teal'c, "All scans are showing that we should be at the Asgard home world. However…"
"It's gone" said Major Carter as she interrupted Teal'c
"Gone?" said Willow, "How can a whole planet disappear?"
Suddenly they all heard a sound coming from the engine room and Major Carter took off running towards that section. Willow followed closely behind and watched as she opened a panel and looked at the cracked and blackened crystals for the hyperdrive.
"Sorry, Willow" said Major Carter, "the hyperdrive's busted"
"Well that was expected Major" said Willow, "you did say that might happen"
"Major Carter… Willow Rosenberg" said Teal'c over the radio, "please report to the cockpit"
"Now what?" said Major Carter under her breath as she ran towards the cockpit
"What's up Teal'c" she said
"Our engines are on full power…" said Teal'c
"Oh, boy" thought Willow to herself, "I can feel Teal'c's worry. And when Teal'c is worried, it's nothing good"
"…. However, this craft is unable to move forwards" he continued
"Oh no" said Major Carter and Willow together, "there's only one thing that can cause this" said Major Carter, "the gravitational effects of a black hole"
"You're saying that the Asgard created a black hole" said Willow as she tried to hold on to something for dear life
"Yes, they probably collapsed their sun to create it" shouted Major Carter over the ungodly sounds that were coming from the Tel'tak
"I am unable to break free" shouted Teal'c
"Increase the power to the engines" ordered the Major
"I am trying Major Carter" said Teal'c, "however we are still unable to break free of the gravitational pull"
"Major" said Willow, "what would happen if power from the shields is transferred to the engines?"
"We'll get more power to the engines and we may be able to get out of the pull of the black hole but without a shield, our structural integrity won't hold" said the Major
"Major, what if I can hold it?" asked Willow to a surprised Major Carter
"Have you ever done this before?" asked the Major
"It you mean holding an interstellar ship together just using my mind… then no" said Willow smiling, "This would be my first time trying anything like this"
"It would be too much Willow" said the Major, "you're talking about holding a ship together using your mind against the enormous gravitational forces of a black hole"
"We don't have a choice ma'am" said Willow, "if we transfer power from the shields we'll die, if we keep on pushing the engines with the shield on, we'll still eventually die" she continued, "My plan has a chance of succeeding, at least until an Asgard ship picks us up; please, you said you trusted me"
Major Carter looked into Willow's eyes and she could see the determination there
Carter: See Daniel, I told you she's not scared
Willow smiled to herself after 'hearing' what Major Carter had to say.
"Are you sure you can do it?" asked Major Carter
"Yes, I can" said Willow who unknown to Major Carter, had her fingers crossed
"Let me get a hold of the entire ship first Major" said Willow as she crouched next to her Commanding Officer, "then you transfer the power and run as fast as you can to the cockpit"
Major Carter looked at her questioningly
"It's just in case I'm not successful Major" said Willow, "this way I have you and Teal'c close by me if I have to put up a field just around us"
After Major Carter nodded her head in acknowledgment, Willow walked to the cockpit entrance and closed her eyes and raised her arms to her side while controlling her breathing. She imagined a series of overlapping telekinetic fields holding the small ship together. Willow held these fields closely around the small ship until the shaking stopped. Even though the shields of the Tel'tak were already activated, Willow could already feel the strain caused by the gravitational effects of the black hole feeding back directly into her brain which, in turn, was causing her to have headaches.
"Teal'c" shouted Major Carter into her radio, "I'm transferring power now, keep on issuing the distress signal. Hopefully Thor or another Asgard will be close by"
"Willow, are you ready" ask Major Carter
"Yes ma'am" said Willow smiling, "I'm ready as I'll ever be"
"Teal'c" shouted Major Carter into her radio, "full power to the engines on my mark"
"Very well Major Carter" said Teal'c, "distress signal has been sent and I am prepared to transfer all power to the engines"
"Three….. Two…. One…." Said Major Carter as she quickly took out one of the crystals and put it into another slot before she ran towards Willow and the cockpit, "Mark"
Willow could feel the sudden strain of holding the ship together in the cold darkness of space. The feedback from the Black Hole's gravitational effects on her overlapping shields where like spikes of different lengths being pushed into her brain. Without the shields of the Tel'Tak to help her, she was now exposed to the full fury of the black hole.
"Need to hold on" Willow thought to herself. She didn't dare open her eyes to look at her friends in case she lost her concentration. She could barely hear Teal'c saying that they had some forward motion now, which encouraged Willow but the pain was getting worse until she felt herself falling down on her knees and warm liquid oozing from her nose, and onto her lips but she knew that if she stopped now they would all die.
"Just a little longer. Please just a little longer" Willow kept thinking to herself
Major Carter could do nothing but look on as Willow fell to her knees and she saw red droplets falling onto the floor of the Tel'Tak. She quickly ran to her side and immediately brought her hands to her mouth to suppress her scream. She saw blood coming out of Willow's nose and ears and soon she heard her trying to suppress a scream, which in doing so made her whole body tremble.
"Oh God, the strain is killing her" thought the Major to herself as she got the first aid kit from the cockpit and kneeled in front of her to try stem the bleeding.
Willow could feel Major Carter in front of her and she could sense her worry and terror. At first she thought that the Major was terrified of her, instead Willow sensed that the Major was terrified for her and what might happen if no rescue comes.
"Major" said Willow keeping eyes shut and struggling to talk, "I must look like hell huh?"
"You're doing great Willow" said Major Carter as she ran her hand through Willow's hair, trying to keep her mind off the pool of blood in front of her.
"Sorry, Major" said Willow, "I don't think I can hold the cargo hold anymore"
The next thing Major Carter and Teal'c knew, there was a terrible ripping sound from the ship and the entire rear section including the engines had been torn off leaving only a greenish telekinetic field between the cockpit and the emptiness of space.
"At least we have a good view of the black hole, Willow" said Major Carter as she turned around and saw a pair of bloodied pair of eyes looking past her. She could see that Willow was trying to say something so she went closer to hear.
"He's here, ma'am" said Willow before all three people on the Tel'Tak felt a familiar tingle and a white light washed over all of them.
Once the light had vanished, Major Carter and Teal'c found themselves next to Thor on his ship but Willow was nowhere to be seen.
"Major Carter, Teal'c… Welcome aboard the Daniel Jackson" said the dimunitive alien
"Thor where is Willow Rosenberg?" asked Teal'c.
Major Carter had the exact same question but Teal'c beat her to it, and this time she could hear the worry in his voice.
"Do not worry Teal'c… Major Carter" said Thor who was moving some stones on a console, "Lieutenant Rosenberg has been beamed into a medical pod"
As soon as he mentioned the medical pod, there was another flash of white light and the pod containing Willow appeared in the middle of the room. Major Carter and Teal'c went over to the vertical machine and looked through the transparent top cover. They saw Willow sleeping and although she wasn't bleeding profusely anymore, her face was as pale as a ghost.
"Is she going to be alright?" asked Major Carter
"She has lost a lot of blood Major Carter" said Thor, "my scans have also indicated that she has had significant trauma to parts of her brain of which I am unsure can be fully repaired"
"What?" said Major Carter
"I am sorry Major" said Thor in a matter of fact voice
"It's my fault Teal'c" said the Major to the Jaffa standing next to her, "Daniel was right, she's just a child. I should have never let her come"
"Major Carter" said Teal'c, "Willow Rosenberg told me that she was excited to have come with us today. She wanted to do everything she could to revive O'Neill even if that meant risking her own life. We should be proud of her"
"Major Carter… Teal'c" said Thor, "please come with me. Do not worry, the medical pod with do its best to help Lieutenant Rosenberg recover"
"I'm sorry Willow, please forgive me" said Major Carter as she touched the cover of the pod before turning around to follow Thor to the large view screen where Thor explained to Major Carter and Teal'c about what was going on with the replicator threat.
Suddenly an alarm started to sound across the entire ship as they noticed an object coming out of the black hole at too great of a speed; it was a replicator ship. Willow never felt Thor's ship getting hit by a missile launched by the ship, or the replicator bugs boarding Thor's ship, or the kidnapping of Major Carter by the psychotic bugs as Willow called them when she found out about their existence. All she could do was sleep, not knowing what was going on.
Home of Buffy Summers, Sunnydale, CA
"Good morning " said the stunning blonde who was sharing the same bed as a certain red headed girl
"Hey Buffy" smiled Willow as she stretched herself before reaching towards Buffy and kissing her
"Did you sleep well?" asked Buffy
"If I recall Buff, we didn't sleep much last night, or early this morning" said Willow smiling
"How about we stay in the whole day?" asked Buffy
"In bed you mean?" asked Willow smiling, "or skip work"
"I mean skip work you naughty, naughty girl" said Buffy as she gave Willow a quick kiss
"You know how long I've wanted this?" asked Willow
"Since last night?" said Buffy laughing
"Nope" smiled Willow, "ever since we got into college, maybe even before that", she continued, "I love you Buffy, please don't ever leave me"
"I never will" said Buffy as she got out of bed and headed into the shower before turning around to face Willow, "so you coming? or are you just gonna lie there?"
"I thought you'd never ask" said Willow as she followed Buffy.
An hour later, Willow and Buffy were in the kitchen having breakfast.
"So when are we meeting the gang?" asked Willow
"About eight in the evening" said Buffy
"Wanna go get some shopping done before that?" asked Willow
"Yeah sure" said Buffy as she heard the door bell ring, "I'll be right back"
Buffy opened the door and was surprised to see a woman dressed all in white standing at the doorway.
"Hi, may I help you" asked Buffy
"Good morning" said the woman, "I'm looking for Willow Rosenberg. I heard that she was here?"
"Yes" said Buffy before she left to get Willow, "Willow, honey, you got someone looking for you"
"Thanks Buff" said Willow as she replaced Buffy at the door, "Hi, I'm Willow Rosenberg can I help you with anything?"
"Hello Willow" said the stranger, "do you remember me?"
"Ummm… sorry Miss, I don't think I've ever met you before" said Willow looking slightly confused
"I see" said the woman, "I'm not surprised, although I am a bit hurt that you don't remember me. Actually your parents sent me to talk to you about some dreams you've been having"
"Oh" said Willow, "so you're the shrink they sent?"
"Well, I'm not a exactly a psychiatrist per se, but I do have experience in trauma counselling and medicine. But I'm just here as a friend of your parents, they thought that I may be able to help" said the woman, "I actually used to be a medical doctor at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs" she continued, "Oh my, where are my manners, my name is Janet. Dr. Janet Frasier" said the woman as she held out her hand, "Please call me Janet"
"Please come in Janet" said Willow as she stepped back to let the short woman in, "this is my partner-in-crime, Buffy"
"Nice to meet you Buffy" said Janet
"Likewise" replied Buffy, "please have a seat"
"Would it be alright if Buffy stayed?" asked Willow
"Well usually this is done on a one on one setting but if you feel comfortable talking about your dreams in front of her, then I really don't see the problem" said Janet
"Please stay Buff?" asked Willow as she looked at Buffy,
"Of course" Buffy replied
"Alright Willow" said Janet, "there's really not much time for me here so please forgive me if I have to rush through some things with you"
"Wow" said Willow, "I thought the standard counselling time was an hour per session"
"Usually it is" said Janet smiling, "But I really can't stay here for long before my so called superiors find out, so tell me what your dreams are about"
"Hold on" said Buffy, "So why are you here if you're not supposed to be here?". Buffy then immediately turned to Willow, "Wills, I don't think you should be talking to her. What if she's just here to get information from you for a scam? Maybe she's not even a medical doctor. You should ask her to leave"
"Willow" said Janet calmly, "All I want to do is talk to you about your dreams, and then if you still think I'm not helping you, I'll leave and you'll never see me again"
"Alright" said Willow as she held on to Buffy's hand, "I've been having the same dreams for the past few days. First it was about great battles against glowy eyed aliens, robots, then there was a giant metallic ring, and different planets, I even dreamt I had met the Norse gods, can you imagine?" she said as a quiet Janet and Buffy listened on, "and then this morning I had the most vivid dream where I was flying a space ship when it broke apart and I was floating in space, struggling to breathe. I could feel the blood in my veins turning to ice and my body just slowly freezing while I was sinking further and further into oblivion" she continued as she started to tremble.
"Do you need some water, Wills?" asked Buffy
"Yes please" said Willow quietly
As soon as Buffy was gone, Janet quickly sat next to Willow and held her hand, "Willow" she said, "everything you talked about weren't dreams"
"What?" said Willow who looked up in shock, "Well, now I'm beginning to think that maybe you're the one who's a bit nuts. Those were just dreams" she continued
"Willow" said Janet, "I don't have much time left here. Please you have to listen to me. People need your help"
"No!" shouted Willow which brought a worried Buffy back to her side, "Please leave" she said to Janet while pointing at the door
"Willow" said Janet calmly, "You need to listen to me. You're Lieutenant Willow Rosenberg of the U.S. Air Force stationed at the SGC"
"I'm not military, whoever you are" said Willow, "I've never left Sunnydale. I've always been here with Buffy and my friends"
"Willow, I know you're scared" said Janet, "You need to remember. I'm Dr. Janet Frasier; I used to be the Chief Medical Officer at the SGC until I died while saving Airman Wells. Do you remember?"
"I'm sorry you're dead but we never met, if you need help with moving on to the other side then I can help you" said Willow, "but I don't know what you're talking about. I never heard of anything called the SGC and who's Airman Wells?"
"Janet" said Buffy, "I'm asking you nicely to leave Willow alone. Please leave my house"
"Willow" said Janet, "You were by my side when I died. You tried to save me but failed, and no, it was not your fault. SG1 brought my body back to Earth from P3X-666 and I was buried in Arlington. Do you remember?"
"Look lady" said an angry Buffy, "I want you to leave now!"
"After you buried me, Oma helped me to ascend. I saw you guys mourn my loss, I saw you and Sam look after Cassie. Do you remember Cassie?"
"You're a demon aren't you?" said Willow, "only demons can ascend"
"Willow you hold her off as long as you can" said Buffy as she ran to the kitchen, "I gotta get some weapons under the sink. Keep her busy"
"Willow" said Janet who by now had her hands up, "I'm not a demon"
"Yea, right" snorted Willow, "I know your kind, you lie and give your victims a false sense of security before you kill them" she continued, "Well it's not happening this time"
"I'm sorry Willow" said Janet, "I'm out of time. Please you have to wake up; Daniel, Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c and Thor are being attacked by replicators. Please wake up"
Suddenly Willow saw Janet transform into a bright white light before she rose through the ceiling and out of the house.
"Willow!" shouted Buffy as she ran into the living room with a dagger and some stakes, "Where did she go Willow?"
"She just left" said a shocked Willow as she looked up at the ceiling
"Listen, we'll call the gang and figure this out ok?" said Buffy as she reached for her cell phone to call the Scoobies.
"O'Neill" whispered Willow, "Why is that name familiar" she asked herself before she heard Buffy's landline ringing, "I'll get it Buffy"
"Hello, this is the Summer's residence. Willow speaking"
"Willow?" said a man's voice on the other line
"Yes? Who's this?" asked Willow
"Willow" said the voice again, "you need to wake up. Thor says all your vitals have normalized but we can't find a reason for you not waking up. Please wake up, we need you. They took Sam, the replicators took Sam"
Almost immediately Willow slammed the phone back down and stepped away it, and then it started to ring again.
"Are you alright Wills?" asked Buffy, "Why did you slam the phone down? Who were you talking to? I didn't even hear it ring."
"What?" said a surprised Willow, "its ringing now. You don't hear it?"
"No Willow" said Buffy, "listen you're scaring me a little bit now. How about you sit down while I get you some coffee ok"
"Alright" said Willow as she gave Buffy a peck on the cheek, "Thanks Buffy"
As Willow sat down on the couch, the phone kept on ringing and ringing. Finally Willow got tired of it and pulled the line from the wall socket and the ringing stopped. She sat back down when, suddenly, the phone started ringing again.
A shocked Willow picked up the phone receiver with trembling hands and spoke, "Hello?"
"I'm ordering you to wake up Red. How long you gonna sleep?" said a different voice, this one had a gruff edge to it
"O'Neill, has she not awakened?"
"Not yet, T"
"I have spoken to Thor, however he too is unsure why Willow Rosenberg is unable to awaken"
Willow heard a screeching sound in the background when the same gruff voice started speaking again
"Hey Thor, is it safe to bring that thing on board?"
"The only way to find Major Carter is to access the communication link between this human form replicator and the others"
As Willow was listening to the mysterious conversations, she suddenly felt panic, "I'm feeling panic, terror" she thought to herself, "Why? I'm finally with Buffy.. why am I feeling panic?"
"Thor! Beam it out of here"
"I cannot, O'Neill"
"O'Neill?" thought Willow to herself, "That name again, why is it so familiar?"
All of a sudden Willow felt a pull in her chest and she dropped the receiver. As she called out to Buffy, who came running to her as fast as she could, Willow everything dissolve in front of her eyes only to be replaced by a greyish metallic environment.
On board the Daniel Jackson
"Where am I?" thought Willow to herself
Suddenly she heard gunshots and a man wearing a strange uniform had come into her line of sight. She could see three other men, one hold a strange weapon, and one small grey alien, "hold on a second, is that an alien?" asked Willow to herself. The gun fire was pushing the man in the weird uniform back until the shooting suddenly stopped. Willow watched surprised as a metallic wave went around the skin of the man which seemed to heal his wounds before moving towards the three men again as one of them, the large and tall one with a golden tattoo on his forehead, ran towards him but was pushed away onto the ground. The metallic man then picked up a shot gun and aimed it at the other two men when Willow had a fleeting thought in her mind, "No!".
As the replicator picked up the weapon and aimed it at Thor, Daniel and the Colonel; they saw that he had suddenly stopped. The human form replicator himself looked surprised as he was unable to move any part of his body, especially the finger that was resting on the trigger of the gun. The three men and Thor looked on as suddenly the replicator slowly separated into its constituent nano-cells and was put into the shape of a floating sphere.
"Help me" shouted Willow from the pod, "Help!"
As Daniel and Teal'C went to help Willow, Thor turned to Colonel O'Neill, "O'Neill, what is happening?"
"I don't know buddy" he said as he aimed the strange looking Ancient weapon at the floating replicator debris, "I think it's Willow"
"Lieutenant Rosenberg has done this?" asked Thor in surprise
"I guess so" said the Colonel, "she has been able to do some amazing things for some time now"
"Could you tell me more O'Neill?" asked Thor
"I think it would best if you ask Willow, Thor" said the Colonel, "She would be the person to ask about her abilities"
"Abilities?" asked Thor, "What kind of…..", Thor and Colonel O'Neill's talk was interrupted by a loud commotion and gun fire from the direction of the medical pod. As Thor and the Colonel quickly ran past the floating mass of debris from the replicator, they didn't notice the debris starting to slowly coalesce again.
When they reached the pod, Thor and the Colonel quickly took cover behind a console. He could see that Teal'c and Daniel had also taken cover behind another console. Taking a peek over his hiding spot, he saw Willow aiming her nine milimeter at them using her left hand and a Zat being aim at Teal'c and Daniel with the other hand.
"Who are you people?" shouted Willow, "Where's Buffy? Why did you take me from her? If you harmed her, so help me…."
"Red, its Colonel O'Neill" shouted the Colonel, "put the guns down. Let's talk"
"No!" shouted Willow, "You're a trick. I'm here to be experimented on right? No, that's not going to happen. Get me out of here or I start shooting" she continued as she fired another round in the vicinity of Colonel O'Neill
"Jack" shouted Daniel, "You alright?"
"No Daniel" said the Colonel, "one of our own team is shooting at us. I am so not alright"
"Zats?" asked Daniel
"Not yet" shouted the Colonel, "She looks terrified, we should try to calm her down first somehow or else she may shoot one of us before we zat her. I don't want any injuries to any of us"
"Shut up" shouted Willow, "tell that alien to bring me back to Buffy. I wanna be back with her"
"O'Neill" whispered Thor, "maybe I shall try and calm her down"
"Wait Thor" said the Colonel as he tried to pull Thor back but it was too late, Willow had already pointed both her guns at him
"Stay where you are" said Willow, "I just want to go home, please bring me back home to my family"
"Lieutenant Rosenberg, I apologize but I am unable to do that at this time" said Thor calmly, "my home is in danger and I require the help of you and your team"
"Why did you call me lieutenant? I'm not in the military" said Willow, "you sound like that other crazy woman I was talking too"
"Your name is Lieutenant Willow Rosenberg" said Teal'c as he slowly rose from behind the console he was taking cover under, "You are a member of SG1 and a formidable warrior"
"I'm no warrior" said Willow, "Buffy's the warrior; I'm just the back up for the backup"
"Stand back" said Willow as she noticed Thor taking a step towards her
"Lieutenant Rosenberg, my name is Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet" said Thor, "Teal'c, Major Carter and you were beamed away from a crippled Goa'uld cargo ship. You were immediately put into the medical pod behind you due to blood loss and severe trauma to your brain which would account for your memory loss" he continued, "do not worry, you should be getting them back soon"
"It would be helpful if she got them back now, Thor" said the Colonel
"Willow Rosenberg" said Teal'c, "you have special abilities including mind reading. I would like you to read my mind so that you could put yourself at ease. We are your friends, not your enemies. You are among friends here"
"I can't read minds" said Willow, "and stop calling me Lieutenant"
"Yes, you can Willow Rosenberg" said Teal'c calmly, "you have to concentrate. We will not make a move towards you until you've found the truth in my memories"
"T, you sure that's a good idea?" asked the Colonel
"My memories are more up to date, O'Neill" said Teal'c, "they would be helpful in convincing our teammate that she is among friends"
"Please, step back" said Willow, "I don't want to hurt you"
"Very well, Willow Rosenberg" said Teal'c who stopped moving and stood still, "I have given you permission to read my mind, please find what you seek"
That's what Willow did, while having the guns still pointed at the three men and Thor; Willow looked through Teal'c's memories until she had every information she needed.
"Teal'c?" said Willow softly, her voice trembling
"Colonel O'Neill? Daniel? Thor?" said Willow looking around the room.
She then saw the weapons in both of her hands and started trembling and she felt them slipping from her grasp, but before she could drop them onto the floor, the Colonel ran over and gently took them away from Willow and set them down on the floor.
"Colonel?" said Willow, "Is that really you?"
"It's me Red" said the Colonel grinning
"Oh God!" said Willow as she hugged the Colonel, "I'm so sorry Colonel, I'm so sorry"
"Easy Red" said the Colonel, "Nothing to be sorry about, you got a knock on you head. Happens to the best of us"
After hugging the Colonel, Willow walked over to Teal'c and Daniel, "Teal'c… Daniel, I am very sorry for what I may have said or did. I hope that you find it in your hearts to forgive me"
"Willow Rosenberg" said Teal'c with a hint of a smile, "there is nothing to forgive, and you were not yourself. But I am glad that you have regained your memories"
"You almost got me Willow" said Daniel
"Sorry Daniel" replied Willow
"Well, you can make it up to us by taking us out for some steak when we get home" said Daniel smiling
"Yea, I'll take that deal too" said the Colonel
"As will I" said Teal'c
After apologizing to her team, Willow crouched in front of Thor, "Thor, I deeply regret my actions here today. I thank you for saving our lives and I hope that you could forgive me for my outburst here."
"All is forgiven Lieutenant Rosenberg" said Thor, "however, if it is agreeable with you, I would like to have a word after we have saved Orilla"
"Of course, Thor" said Willow
Suddenly, Willows eyes widened.
"Oh no" said Willow as she ran towards the floating replicator blocks followed closely by the others
When they reached the area with the Ancient weapon that Colonel O'Neill had designed with the help of the Ancient Knowledge and the Daniel Jackson's computers, they saw the human form replicator fully re-integrated and preparing to smash the finished weapon.
Quickly Willow reached out and mentally grabbed the weapon and pulled it to Colonel O'Neill's hands before she mentally held the replicator in its tracks.
"Uh, guys" said Willow, "Someone please shoot this thing, because I don't think I can hold him for long"
Willow soon noticed from her peripheral vision that the Colonel held up the weapon towards the replicator and released a strange looking wave that went through it. Then almost immediately, the replicator that was being held back by Willow literally fell apart.
"Looks like the weapon broke the communications between each nano cell, making them inert" said Thor as he was examining the nano cells on the floor of his ship, "the Asgard have tried to make weapons such as this but we have been largely unsuccessful"
"So you can build it and beat the replicators now?" asked the Colonel
"Now that I see what it does, I can do better" said Thor, "I can release the same type of disruption wave from my ship that would be able to disable all the replicator on Orilla in one go"
"In the meantime" said the Colonel, "Lets see if we can find where Carter is being held on the planet"
Surface of Orillla, Asgard Home world
The four members of SG1 were beamed down to the surface of Orilla by Thor and immediately started to walk towards the replicator ship that Thor told them about. Thor had told them that he discovered another human form replicator that was holding Major Carter hostage in the ship located next to a vein of neutronium, the element that the Asgard used for their technology which, coincidently, was also required to build more human form replicators.
"I can't read the Major's thoughts, Colonel" said Willow, "all I'm getting is static, like there's something there but at the same time its not"
"Understood" said the Colonel, "Daniel, T, Red.. watch out for hostiles"
As they were walking, Daniel heard something behind and when he turned around, he saw one of the bug shaped replicators jumping towards him. Before he could react, Willow grabbed the replicator and slammed it against a tree.
"Thanks Willow" said Daniel as he started shooting at the swarms of replicators now coming at them.
"Is it too late to say that I hate bugs?" said Willow as she started firing her weapon while at the same time picking up five of the smaller replicators and smashing them into the path of the other robotic monstrosities.
"Nice multitasking, Red" shouted the Colonel as he continued to fire the disruption wave weapon
"Thanks Sir" said Willow shooting
"Stop!" shouted a voice behind them
The four SG1 members turned around to see the human form replicator known as Fifth standing under a tree and immediately trained their weapons at him.
"If you don't let me or my brethren go, then Major Carter will die" said Fifth
"Sir?" asked Willow as she looked at Colonel O'Neill
Willow: "I'm trying to disassemble him, Sir. But for some reason I can't"
The Colonel nodded in Willow's direction and slowly brought the disrupter down, leading to everyone putting their weapons down.
"Ummm.. Do you guys hear that?" said Daniel
Looking around, they could see that there were swarms upon swarms of replicator bugs both small and the size of large beetles coming towards them. They passed harmlessly by the group of humans. A few seconds later Thor asked the Colonel what was going on.
"Looks like they're getting ready to retreat" said the Colonel
"O'Neill, the weapon is almost ready, they need to stay on the planet if it is to be successful" said Thor
"What about Carter?" asked the Colonel
"I am sorry O'Neill" he replied
As the last bug started to pass them, the Colonel started firing again. This led to the other three firing their weapons as well but it was too late. They saw the replicator ship take off just as Thor had activated the disruption weapon from his ship.
"O'Neill, the colony is reporting that all replicators on the surface had been rendered inert, however the structure in which Major Carter was located has taken off" said Thor
Willow could feel the anger emanating from the Colonel as she turned around, they had failed to rescue Major Carter even though they had saved Orilla.
"Oh" said Willow suddenly turning around again with a grin
"Red?" asked the Colonel
"Quick follow me" said Willow as she started to run towards the trees, "Major Carter's alive"
"O'Neill" said Thor over the stone that the alien had given to the Colonel, "my scans are showing a fifth life sign close by your present location"
Soon SG1 was running towards a clearing where there was someone in black BDU's lying on the ground.
"Major Carter" said Teal'c
Willow: "Major"
Slowly Major Carter opened her eyes to see four faces looking down at her.
"Hey Carter" said the Colonel
"Hi Sir" she replied smiling
Looking to her right side, she saw Willow smiling at her, "Hi ma'am"
"Willow" said Major Carter as she hugged the red head, "you're alright?"
"Yes, ma'am" she replied, "had a nice long nap"
"Before she tried to shoot at us" muttered the Colonel before turning to his second in command, "Come on up carter" he said as he helped the Major up.
"Teal'c.. Daniel…" said the Major as she hugged both of her teammates
"Sam, good to see you're alright" said Daniel
"Indeed, Major Carter" said Teal'c
"Alright kids" said the Colonel, "let's go home and finish this reunion at my place"
"Yes, lets" said Willow
"Hold on" said Daniel, "I say we go for steak. Willow's buying"
"Really?" said Major Carter raising her eyebrows, "Well I'm in"
"You didn't think we'd forget did you, Red?" said the Colonel
"Well" said Willow sheepishly, "I was hoping you would. I mean I wasn't in the right state of mind"
"What happened?" ask the Major
"Oh nothing, just Red here went all nuts and tried to kill us with her sidearm and a zat after she was released from her med pod" said the Colonel before getting out the Asgard communication stone asking Thor to beam them back up.
"I'm never going to live this down am I?" asked Willow
"Nope" said Daniel
"Indeed" replied Teal'C before they were all enveloped in white light and brought back to the Daniel Jackson for the journey back to Earth.
