A/N: Hi, sorry if this Chapter's a bit horrible than the previous ones. In the hospital now writing this with Dengue fever so not exactly the best place to write. Hope you all enjoy. CHeers.
Temple at Dakara, Milky Way, 8 months later.
"Red!" screamed Faith as she started shooting from the temple entrance alongside the other rebel Jaffa.
Willow ran over to her girlfriend's position and looked down at the thousands, upon thousands of replicators that were moving to their position.
"Great" said Willow as she started to fire her P90 before looking back into the temple itself. She focused on Colonel Carter, General Carter and Dawn, who along with the aid of Ba'al's hologram, were trying their best to match the waveform of the disruption weapon that General O'Neill had built to this recently found weapon of the Ancients.
"Sir…. Ma'am!" shouted Willow as she glanced behind her at Colonel Carter and General Carter while she continued firing her weapon, "how's it going back there?"
"We need more time" said Colonel Carter.
"That's what I was afraid of" mumbled Willow as she continued firing. Willow then took out two grenades before mentally taking out the pins and dropping them into the coming swarm of mechanical bugs. She smiled once the grenades exploded leaving replicator blocks flying all over the place.
"Red" said Faith as she stepped back while continuing to fire, "we can't hold here."
"Get back!" said Willow as she continued to fire her weapons and use her telekinesis at the same time to send some of the replicators flying into some of the others with such force that they broke up into their constituent blocks.
"This is a problem" said Faith as she and Willow ran towards the entrance of the weapon console.
"Yea" said Willow, "funny though."
"Yea?" asked Faith as she and the other Jaffa stopped and started firing their weapons again.
"This all started with the words 'we have a problem'" said Willow as she turned and started firing again.
SGC, Earth, 0900 hours.
Willow recalled General Carter coming to the SGC a day ago with that exact same warning. He had told General O'Neill that the replicators had invaded the galaxy and were already on their way to eliminate the Goa'uld.
"That's a good thing right?" Faith had asked.
"I agree" replied General O'Neill.
"It won't help anyone if the Goa'uld are eliminated and only to be replaced by something much, much worse" said General Carter.
"Good point" sighed General O'Neill, "the Tok'ra have any doohickeys for us? I mean that's why you're here right?"
"Well" said General Carter as he took out a odd looking piece of technology, "I have something for Captain Rosenberg to interface with the base systems."
"Of course, Sir" said Willow as she took the strange item and headed to a lab, followed by General Carter, O'Neill and Faith.
"Where's Sam?" asked the General.
"She and Daniel are acting as observers for the Jaffa Rebellion's first strikes against the Goa'uld." Said General O'Neill, "I think they're on Bra'tac's ship, they should be going up against Amateratsu's Jaffa any time now."
"Right" said General Carter.
"Sir" said Willow as she looked at General Carter, "it's been interfaced."
"Thanks, Captain" said the general as he sat behind a console and attached the item into a port on a computer.
Willow and the others found that the item was a subspace receiver from a secret underground Tok'ra subspace signal. General Carter explained to Willow, General O'Neill and Faith that the Tok'ra had operatives tag Goa'uld vessels so that they could be tracked secretly to determine their movements. The one Goa'uld system lords that had them worried now more than anyone else was Ba'al, due to his relatively larger army of Jaffa and his control of the Kull Warriors.
As they were looking at the red dots, representing Goa'uld ships, that were moving on the screen, General O'Neill became surprised when the dots suddenly started to disappear.
"What was that?" asked the General as he pointed at a dot and then at another one which had immediately disappeared as well.
"Replicators" said Willow as she looked at General Carter, "that's it right, Sir? Those ships were either taken over or destroyed by replicators."
"Yes" said the General.
"There goes another one" said Faith as she leaned forward, "and another one. My God, if those bugs can take over those ships….."
"We really have a problem, don't we?" said General O'Neill as he rubbed his forehead.
"Told you" said General Carter when, all of a sudden, Walter's voice came over the speakers.
"Unscheduled Off World activation" said Walter.
"That doesn't sound good" said Willow as she looked at Faith before they followed the Generals to the Gateroom.
Daniel's Lab, 1700 hours.
"Dawnie" said Willow as she and Faith walked into Daniel's lab where the brunette was finishing up another translation.
"Willow" smiled Dawn, "what's up? Does Dr. Jackson need these translations now?"
"Dawn" said Faith, "Daniel's been taken."
"Taken?" said Dawn confused.
"The Replicators just invaded the galaxy" said Willow, "they're eliminating the Goa'uld and after they're done with them, they'll be coming after us."
"You're kidding right?" said Dawn shocked.
"Nope" said the Colonel as she walked up behind Willow and Faith, "we need you to come off-world with us."
"Me?" said Dawn, "why? I mean yeah, I've been of-world before but…."
"Dawnie" said Willow, "this is going to be a very dangerous mission. One of the System Lord's, a doofus called Ba'al told General O'Neill about a hidden Ancient weapon on Dakara. We need you to translate it so that we can find out what it does, and how it works."
"We have another problem" said the Colonel.
"Yeah" said Willow.
"What?" asked Dawn.
"Anubis is going for the weapon too" said Faith, "according to Ba'al at least."
"Anubis?" said Dawn and she stood up and looked at Willow, "you mean the same one who…..?"
"That exact same" said Willow as she clenched her hands into fists.
"We need you with us so that you can help us find the weapon and access it" said the Colonel, "if it can't be accessed, we'll be destroying it so that Anubis can't use it."
"I understand" said Dawn, "when do we leave?"
"Teal'c and Bra'tac have already taken control of the temple" said Colonel Carter, "and he gave us the go ahead so I want us all ready in thirty minutes."
"Alright" said Dawn as she nodded her head and grabbed Daniel's, as well as her own, notebooks before putting them into a bag.
"Come on, Kiddo" said Willow as she put her arm around Dawn's shoulders and guided her to the women's locker room, "I know you trained hard, and I know you've been able to look after yourself and your teammates during your off-world research missions. But this time, we don't know how bad its going to get. I mean, with the Replicators here already, I don't know how much worse it could get."
"You asking me to be careful?" asked Dawn.
"Yes" said Willow, "I'm not trying to be over protective of you, but…."
"I'll be careful" said Dawn.
"Good" said Willow as she nodded at Faith who handed Dawn a nine milimeter, a zat and a P90.
"Cool" said Dawn as she took the weapons and put them down before putting on her BDU's and vest.
"Ready?" asked Colonel Carter as she watched Willow held Dawn check her weapons.
"Yep" smiled Dawn.
"Let's go" said the Colonel as she headed towards the Gateroom, followed by Willow, Faith and Dawn.
The Temple at Dakara, Dakara.
It had taken Dawn a little over thirty minutes to find that the Ancient weapon was hidden behind a giant combination lock at the back of the temple. After finding out the correct combination, a secret doorways was opened which, in turn, led to a small chamber with a screen on a wall with a console in front of it.
"Wow" said Dawn as she and General Carter were the first ones to enter the room followed by Willow and Faith who helped to carry the bomb which would be used in case the weapon had to be blown up.
"Definitely looks, Ancient" said Willow as she looked at the console.
"Yes" said General Carter as she approached the console, followed by Dawn
"This is what controls the device" said Dawn as she touched the console.
"Looks like that time loop machine" said the Colonel.
"Time loop?" said Dawn, "there's a time loop machine?"
"Long story" said Colonel Carter.
"I'll show you the mission report" said Willow.
"Right" replied Dawn when she suddenly noticed a bright light from behind General Carter, "woah."
"Dawn?" said Faith as she looked at the screen, "what's that?"
"Oh wow" said Dawn as she looked at General Carter, "General, can Sel'mak confirm? Is that saying what I think its saying?"
"You mean that part about where the weapon uses an energy wave to reduce all matter to its basic molecular elements?" asked the General.
"Yeah" said Dawn as she turned back to the console and looked at Willow and the others, "the screen is saying that the wave isn't strong enough to disintegrate an entire planet, but it will wash away everything on a planet's surface and everything in the surrounding space."
"Sounds bad" said Colonel Carter.
"I know" said the General, "but it also sounds like it does it much the same way your disrupter technology works on the Replicators; by separating the individual components."
"Does that mean what I think it means, Sir?" said Willow, "that it can be used against the replicators?"
"We find the correct waveform and yes, I don't see why not" replied General Carter.
"Dawn" said Colonel Carter, "can you translate the symbols on the console?"
"Yes" said Dawn, "I just need some time."
"Get started" said the Colonel as she took out her laptop, "Willow, I need you to help me connect this to the console data crystals."
"Yes, ma'am" said Willow.
"Faith" said Colonel Carter, "I need you and Rak'nor to set up a perimeter, expect Ba'al's Jaffa or even worse the replicators to come at any moment."
"Got it, Sam" said Faith as she went outside to meet with Rak'nor, one of the rebel Jaffa.
"Ma'am" said Willow as she opened one of the bottom panels, "we'll need to hit them all at once with the wave."
"I know" said Colonel Carter as she help Willow back up after she connected the computer to the data crystal, "I actually have an idea about that."
"Sam?" said the General.
"Dad" said the Colonel, "when Thor and I tried to recalibrate the device that General O'Neill build using Ancient knowledge, it worked only once. The replicators immediately built up an immunity right after that one use. So…."
"You need to use it all at one go" said Dawn as she looked up.
"Yes" said Colonel Carter.
"And how do you intend to do that?" asked General Carter.
"The Stargate" said Colonel Carter.
"Which one?" asked the General.
"Wow" said Willow, "you really mean…. Can it be done?"
"Yes" said Colonel Carter as she looked at Willow, "remember how the entire network was shut down? What if the opposite was done? All Gates activated simultaneously?"
"Sam… Captain?" asked the General, "what are you two talking about?"
"We're talking about activating every single Gate in the galaxy" smiled Colonel Carter.
"Every one?" said the General in disbelief.
"Yes" replied the Colonel.
"You know how many Gates there are?" asked the General.
"A lot, Sir" said Willow, "but it makes sense, the wave will go through the open wormhole and affect every single planet at the same time. And like the screen said, it not only affects the surface, but the surrounding space as well."
"Can you do that?" asked the General, "dial every gate at the same time?"
"No" said the Colonel, "the both of us don't have the knowledge to even think about how to do that."
"But we kinda know someone who does" said Willow, "and he's a huge pain in the ass."
"You don't mean.." said the General as he grimaced.
"Yeah" said the Colonel.
"Who?" asked Dawn.
"Ba'al" said Willow and Colonel Carter together.
"Oh" replied Dawn.
Temple at Dakara, Present Time.
"Faith!" shouted Willow as she kneeled down on the ground along with Rak'nor and four other Jaffa, "pull back into the chamber."
"Pulling" said Faith as she and five other Jaffa ran past Willow and the others before taking up positions behind them and firing their weapons at the advancing replicator bugs.
"Sam" said the General, "go and help them, with Ba'al getting his butt handed to him by the replicators now, I need you and the others to buy me and Miss Summers here enough time."
"Dawn" said the Colonel, "can you…?"
"Yes" said Dawn, "Dr. Jackson trained me himself, so yeah.. I can do it."
"Good" said the Colonel as she picked up her P90 and ran next to Faith and started firing.
"Welcome to the firing line, Sam" said Faith with a smile.
"Thanks" said the Colonel as she managed to destroy some oft the replicators when suddenly, they all had simply stopped moving.
"OK" said Willow, "that's odd."
"Yeah" said the Colonel in surprise before she turned her head to look at the General, "Dad? Did you activate the weapon?"
"Almost done" said the General as he turned back o look at Colonel Carter, "whats going on?"
"They all stopped, sir" said Willow as she continued aiming at the replicators as they suddenly stopped moving.
"Willow" said the Colonel, "get rid of as many as you can."
"Yes ma'am" said Willow as she waved her arms and telekinetically flung away the deathly still replicators. Willow mentally picked up s many as she could and flung them back over the edge of the stairs that they had climbed up.
"Uh... Guys!" shouted Faith as the replicators started to move again, "how goes that weapon?'
"Dawn?" asked the General, "which ones do I press down?"
"One minute... just one minute" said Dawn as she looked at her notes.
"They don't have a minute" said the General as he looked at the three members of SG1 firing their weapons at the renewed assault from the mechanical bugs.
"These!" shouted Dawn as she pressed down three of the columns on the console before looking up to only see the General smile.
"I'm firing the weapon" said the General as he pressed a button on the side of the console.
Suddenly, the whole group felt the ground shake.
"What the hell?" said the Colonel as she turned around only to see Dawn and her father looking at an output on the screen.
"Whats that?" asked Colonel Carter when she turned around and heard the familiar sound of the Stargate activating.
"It's begun" said Dawn as she looked at the Colonel, "the Gates have been activated, and from what the screen is saying, the weapon's nearly at one hundred percent charge."
"Good" said Faith and Willow as they continued to fire when they heard Dawn scream, "it's fired!"
