"The Tau'ri will not come to."

"Yes, they will!"

"We are no longer allied with them, they will not come!"

"And whose fault is that?"

"Even if they do not come for us, they will surely come for Teal'c, Martouf, Teyla, and Ronon."

"Indeed."

"You don't deserve to be rescued!"

"Martouf!"

"Hey, you there, back to work!"

"Let me guess, they got captured?"

"...Yes."

"Goddammit!" Jack sighed and leaned back in seat at the briefing table, the other's faces echoing his expression.

"What about Teal'c, Martouf, Teyla, and Ronon?" Sheppard asked.

"As far as we know, they're with them." Landry responded.

"Sir, permission to-"

"Granted. SG teams 2, 3, 13, 19, 20, 21, 22, and medical team 9, as soon as any other teams free up I'll send them."

"Yes, sir."

It was kinda funny that Trahaearn could destroy a planet with a finger but she couldn't figure out all the damn buckles on the combat vests. Stephen shared a smirk with Marshall as they watched Cameron and Sam and Ford help the Ancient with her vest all the while assuring her that, yes the vest was necessary even if it was technically impossible to kill her.

Just as they were finishing up SG teams 2, 3, 13, 19, 20, 21, 22, and medical team 9 arrived all carrying enough weapons and ammo to defeat the Goa'uld all over again.

And they still didn't know who they were rescuing Teal'c and the others from.

Talk about going in blind.

"Aaahahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Malek's scream ripped through the air as Kar'osh slammed the knife into his side, the Tok'ra fell heavily hands pressing to stop the blood loss.

"Will you speak now?" Kar'osh asked, teeth gleaming.

Malek gritted his teeth, squeezed his eyes shut, and shock his head, curling his body around his wound in preparation for the kick to come.

But it didn't, instead As'lim's smooth as silk voice did.

"I know the Tau'ri girl told you Malek."

"As'lim?" Garshaw's voice was full of shock.

Martouf's of anger. "Traitor."

Teal'c's full of fury. "Shol'va."

As'lin ignored them. "All you have to do is tell us Malek, and we will let you all go. You should be on our side anyway."

"Malek, do not tell him!" Martouf's cry was followed by a thud and the sickening sound of bones breaking.

Teal'c growled or maybe it was Ronon, either way it was silenced quickly.

"Bring them outside," As'lin ordered and strong hands grabbed Malek, dragging him outside. He could here the others struggling and the thumps as they hit the ground. There were groans and Malek glared up at As'lin.

"I will give you one more chance to tell me Malek, before I start killing them one by one." As'lin swept his arm towards the others and two of his Jaffa followers grabbed Ishta and Garshaw, dragging the two females leaders forward.

"You will not get away with this As'lin," Garshaw snarled.

"And who is going to stop me Garshaw?" As'lin sneered. "The Tau'ri? They will not come."

Suddenly Delek screamed as one of the Jaffa kneeled down on his spleen and dragged a knife across his chest. There were red burn marks across his upper torso and rope burns around his neck. As'lin had thought Delek among the weaker links since he did not support the alliance with the Tau'ri in the first place.

"Speak! One of you will tell me!"

Another scream from Delek and a boot in Malek's wounded side.

"The Tau'ri will come," Teal'c argued. "And you will regret this."

"You underestimate them," Teyla added, glaring at him.

"I doubt it, the Tok'ra and the Jaffa have become far to dependent on the Tau'ri," As'lin snorted, Ronon lunged for him, his knife and where the hell did he get that one after the twenty they took off him?

As'lin let out a cry of surprise when Ronon hit him, the Setadan's knife twisting as it dug up under his rib.

Two guards rushed forward but Teal'c stuck his foot out and they sprawled flat on their faces.

Ronon saw As'lin's face twist in agony as the knife slid deeper, slicing the nerves, and making As'lin scream.

"Grab him!" Two more guards lunged for Ronon and after two loud pops hit the ground hard mid stride.

As'lin screamed again when he and Ronon hit the ground and Ronon's knee slammed into his spleen.

"What is..." The others looked around in shock as two more Jaffa soldiers hit the floor, other's following suit.

"Happening?" Three more guards fell and Ronon slid his knife deeper, watching As'lin's eyes widened as the knife cut into his lung. Blood bubbling at the corner of his mouth as his hands scrabbled against Ronon's cloths trying to get a purchased as his lung collapsed.

He couldn't and slid to the ground, blood pouring out of his nose and mouth as one lung, then the next collapsed, squeezing the air out and refusing to allow more in. As'lin opened his mouth to scream nut no sound came out as his body shut down, systems failing one by one until all he could do was lay there and try to breath.

And he couldn't and he choked on his blood.

Ronon pulled back, leaving his knife in As'lin's side, ducking to avoid a staff of another Jaffa whose head exploded before he could even get a punch in.

"What is going on!" Garshaw roared as three other Jaffa went down, throwing the camp into chaos as everyone spun around trying to find out where the attack was coming from and who it was aimed at.

It was Martouf who realized first. "It is the Tau'ri."

"Hiyall folks!" Jack's voice came over din.

"Stop firing or we will kill them!" Kar'osh's voice matched Jack's.

"Cheater!" Jack returned but the firing stopped.

"Sir?" Sam's voice sounded annoyed and amused at the same time.

"What? They are! Using them as shields, that's cheating." Jack argued.

"I'm with O'Neill." Cameron's voice sounded.

"Of course you are," Cy snorted.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Cameron was pouting.

"Hey, can we go save them now?" Sheppard. "I have plans tonight!"

"You don't have plans!" Adele snapped. "I haven't agreed to anything!"

"Oh for the love of-Who the hell cares!" Rodney McKay was recognizable anywhere. "Pay attention before you get us all killed!"

"Relax, we're fine, we've got them surrounded." Ford sounded amused at McKay's complaints.

"Yeah, ya here that?" Jack yelled. "We've got you surrounded!"

"Surrender or we will kill them!" Kar'osh snarled.

"No!" Jack returned.

"Hold on, let me talk to them." Adele again, and Cy with her. The two climbed over the top of the hill that flanked the Stargate and walked over slowly.

"And who are you?" Kar'osh demanded.

Adele absently kinked As'lin's body as they walked past it.

The two stopped when they were a few feet away., cocking their heads to the side and giving small, slightly evil smiles, right before their eyes glowed and their voices deepened.

"Nyx,"

"Miyka'el,"

"Of the Tau'ri."

"Goa'uld allied with the Tau'ri?" Kar'osh breathed.

"More like they're allied with us."

"Hey!" Jack sounded indigent.

"The Tau'ri signed a treaty with the Goa'uld, our races are now allied in our fight against the Ori. You should join us, Jaffa, Tok'ra, we would be a force to be reckoned with."

"Not that we already aren't." Nyx smirked.

"Teal'c! Did you know of this alliance?" Bra'tac demanded.

"I did, old friend."

"Why did you not speak of it?" Garshaw demanded.

"I did not get the chance." Teal'c explained.

"I knew of it as well," Martouf interrupted.

"What?" Garshaw breathed.

"Why were we not informed?" Delek demanded between hisses of pain as the symbiot healed the body.

"We did not get he chance to tell you!" Martouf explained, ignoring the two Jaffa flanking him threateningly. "This alliance is the only way to fight off the Ori, and the Tau'ri enemies in the Milky Way galaxy, the Wraith."

"The Wraith?" Rak'nor repeated.

"Creepy blue space vampires that suck the life out of you with their hands." Sheppard yelled.

"They feed on humans." Teyla added. "Culling their human herds whenever they wish."

They stared at her in horror.

"These Wraith, they are coming?"

"We do not know if they know how to get here," Jacob explained. "But they're main target is Earth, they don't know about the other planets of this galaxy, they just know that Earth has several billion people."

"They are running out of people to feed on in our home galaxy," Teyla explained. "Now they want Earth."

"Yeah, bad day." Jack said.

"More like bad year." Sheppard corrected.

"Hey, look at it this way, it can't get much worse!" Cameron put in.

"Optimist!" Jack accused.

"Enough, surrender!" Kar'osh snarled.

"No!" Jack snarled back.

"I've got him, sir." Sam's voice.

"Take it whenever your ready Carter."

"Did you not hear-" Kar'osh's angry statement was cut off by the back of his head exploding.
