ANGEL
For whatever may happen…
As the rings went up again, he held his breath.
"What?" Jack was seated next to him, back towards ship. "What do you see?"
Teal'c gulped, "It is Apophis."
"…doh."
Daniel looked up from his conversation with an old man in surprise, to see Jack and Teal'c running from the forest into the village. He excused himself and ran towards Sam.
"What is it, sir?"
"Goa'uld."
"It seems Apophis has found out that the protection of the Asgard has worn out, and has come to inspect the planet." Teal'c added.
"Eh, well, how many of them are there?" Daniel asked.
"'Bout 20."
"Oh. That's, eh, that's not so good.."
"Go figure." Jack looked around the village. "Okay, lets first hide the folks, make sure they are somewhere safer than (he waved his arm around the open center) here. We can't make it to the gate, so we'll have to fight back."
Sam and Daniel nodded, and ran away to alarm the poor people. But Jack grabbed Sam's arm, making her come to a halt.
"Where's Angel?"
She pointed towards a large hut. "Over there, with the children."
He thanked her and let go of her arm, then turned to Teal'c. (A/N: what? You think he was going to kiss her goodbye?)
"Make sure the village is surrounded by C4. No one goes in or out of this place."
Suddenly, he felt a tug on his arm. He looked down, right in the face of a 10 year-old.
"Mister, there's something wrong with the lady!"
He squatted down next to her. "Hey, are you alright?" He shook her shoulder gently.
She groaned, and opened her eyes. "My head. It hurts. Something is drilling in my ears. Not even the laughter of the children was able to shove it out of my head."
Jack grabbed her arms. "Come on, let's get you up. We've got a problem."
"Yeah, and it's called 'the lack of aspirin'." she mumbled, crawling on her feet.
Jack forced a smile. If she could still make jokes, she wasn't al that hurt. But Apophis wasn't even in a mile range and she was already feeling his presence.
He turned his head. "Kids, come on, we're going to play a game."
A happy cheer erupted from the hut, while the group of children skipped after Jack and Angel.
"A game?" she whispered.
"We have to hide them. Apophis is coming."
"Apofy-what?"
"Hush!" He faced the kids again. "Okay kids! Everybody follow the funny man with the four eyes!"
The hyperactive group let out a cry of joy and ran after Daniel, who was looking dumbstruck. He quickly got the plan, and led the children to a safe place.
Jack grabbed Angel by her shoulders. "What do you know about the Goa'uld?"
She shrugged. "That they have a really stupid name?"
Jack bit his lip. He really didn't want to tell this, but…
"Angel, the Ha'kun were related to the Goa'uld. They were part of them before they fled to your planet. And there are a lot of Goa'ulds still alive these days."
Her eyes grew wide. "But, but, maybe they fled because the Goa'uld are good, and they were evil, and they were banished away, and, and…" She stopped and looked at the ground.
"They are just as bad, aren't they?"
Jack nodded. "I'm sorry to tell you this now, but the Goa'uld are here, right now, about 20 of them."
"So that's why I have this headache." She sighed. "So…what now?"
He pushed her chin up with his index finger, looking into her eyes.
"We're going to fight back."
Daniel and Teal'c were telling Angel all about the Goa'uld. He felt sorry for the girl, but it was necessary that she knew what she was up against.
Although sensing feelings was her terrain, he could feel without looking at her that she felt terrified. These people had destroyed her race.
"Sir!"
Sam motioned to her right. She was standing on the other side of the doorway.
He looked into the forest, just in time to see a figure jumping behind a tree.
"They're here." He looked at Daniel, Teal'c and Angel. They stood up, preparing themselves for the fight.
"Okay Angel, are you sure you can do this?" Sam really didn't like to leave her alone. But she nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll be alright." With that, the small girl disappeared into nothing.
Daniel hesitantly waved his arm were she just stood.
"Hey, watch out! I'm invisible, not a ghost!" She had been able to dodge him just in time.
"Sorry."
"Just make sure you … reappear … outside the villagers view." Jack said. He felt something touching his hand. "Good luck." a said whisper said.
A fading set of footsteps made their way out of the hut.
Jack looked back at the forest. A few Jaffa pocked their heads out of the bushes.
"Okay Teal'c, set them off."
Teal'c hit a small control in his hands. An explosion sounded, and three or four Jaffa sailed trough the air. Apparently they'd been sitting right on top of the C4.
A few more explosions caused at least 10 Goa'uld to get free flying lessons.
When the road seemed clear, the rest of the Jaffa ran out of the bushes, 6 or 7 in full snake gear.
Jack aimed his gun. "Open fire!"
"Milady! Are you alright?" A few men ran up to her. She nodded, but turned around fast when she heard the explosions.
"What's going on?" a scared elder asked.
Angel tried to smile, and said: "Don't worry, my friends are fighting your enemy with the same level of weapons. They'll do their best."
"It's not fair. You shouldn't be fighting for us." A man crossed his arms, looking angry. "I feel so helpless."
"Stop it Manoran! We should be grateful that these people are helping us!"
Manoran sighed, and looked at Angel. "I am, honestly, but I wish I could help." A few others nodded, mumbling agrees.
Angel closed her eyes, pressing away her tears. She felt exactly the same way.
Suddenly, a soft sound crept into her ears. A sound that gave her a feeling of safety.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a woman across the cave, leaning against the wall.
She was singing.
Angel stepped up to the woman, who abruptly stopped.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to stop you from singing. That sounded beautiful."
The woman blushed, and smiled at her. "It's an old song that every girl here learns from her mother. Would you like us to teach it to you?"
With a loud smack, Jack landed on his back in the mud. The Jaffa towered over him, lifting up his spear, ready to crush him.
A shot, and the armored man fell on the flour. Daniel rushed over to Jack, and pulled him up.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. Nice shot."
Jack looked around. At least 6 Goa'uld were lying lifeless, while Sam and Teal'c were trying to get closer to Apophis. Said idiot (A/N: so sue me) was standing a few feet away, smiling devilishly, safe behind his shield.
All of a sudden, Jack felt someone grab his neck. He tried to struggle free, but the man had hands like shovels!
Next to him, Daniel was facing the same problem.
On the moment Jack thought he was going to choke, the man let them go. Jack heard a click, and before he knew it, he was sitting in his personal damn force field. One he could not get out of.
"O'Neill!" Teal'c ran over to them, but he got shot halfway by a zat-gun.
Sam was out cold, lying in what seemed like a bubble. Jack realized that he was in the same sort of thing. A force field shaped like a sphere.
He grabbed his sidearm, but realized that if he could not get out, the bullet couldn't either, and might ricochet. Angry he stuffed away his gun.
A pair of golden shoes (A/N: does A-man wear shoes anyway?) stepped up in front of him. Jack looked up, only to meet Apophis' eyes.
"Well," he said in his double voice, "what do we have here?"
"Santa Claus?"
Apophis let out an idiotic laugh (A/N: try to laugh evilly while you sound like you're drunk).
"O'Neill, right? And the traitor Teal'c. If only I knew where the people of El Sos Tan were, this day would be perfect." His eyes gloomed. "Are you going to tell me right away, or do you want me to drain it out of you?"
Jack gulped. He was in big trouble this time.
"Ho ho ho?"
"Miss! Miss! They're coming!" A young boy was standing on a rock near the entrance.
Angel looked up, letting out a relieved sigh. "Are they okay?" She pushed herself of against the wall, running towards the entrance.
Only to see a man covered with gold, surrounded by men with strange headpieces. They were pushing some sort of bubbles…
She gasped. "Sam… Daniel… oh no!"
Her four friends were locked up in strange-looking spheres, looking all beaten up. Daniel was unconscious, and by the looks of it, beaten up the worst.
"People of El Sos Tan! I am Apophis, your God!"
'This must be Apophis. He looks just like Daniel told me,' she thought. 'But if that's so, then…'
"Don't listen to him!" Around her, the villagers looked at her, shocked. "He's lying! He is not a god, and definitely not yours!"
Apophis was not pleased. "How dare you woman! I demand you to come down here!"
Angel gave him a stern look. "Bite me."
"Get her!"
Two of the Jaffa shot forward, but Angel was too fast. She stumbled around them, but on the moment she did, she looked in Apophis eyes.
The horrible headache started to return, while flashes of people came past her eyes. People she had never seen before, but also people she remember all too well…
She stopped dead in her tracks, grabbing her head. Someone gave her a stomp in her side, another smacked her on the head. Two men grabbed her by her arm and pulled her downwards, until she was in front of Apophis. She tried to fight back, but the horrid memories had made her weak.
"Kneel!"
She looked up, seeing his glowing eyes,remembering the Ha'kun. Although fear and pain ruled her body, her mouth was still hers. "Never."
A kick in her legs forced her to fall on her knees. Apophis stretched out his hand, and applied his horrible ribbon device on the poor girl. Angel let out a heartbreaking cry of pain.
Jack slammed his fists against his see-through cell, yelling and swearing. "Goddamned Apophis, let her go!"
Apophis grinned, and pulled his hand away from her head. Angel fell on the floor, lifeless.
A few villagers had come out of the cave, watching in horror at the cruel scene.
Sam felt tears on her cheeks as she looked at Angel's body.
Help us find our beloved.
Jack kept slamming his fist. The helpless feeling was driving him nuts! He needed to get out!
Forever we will stand by their side.
Apophis turned towards the fuming Jack, smiling.
To see our children, let them laugh.
Sam looked up at the cave. Was she honestly hearing this?
For any fight that they endure, we will be there, we will be here.
A few feet down the cave's entrance, a young woman was singing.
Never forget us, for we will neither.
A little girl next to her, softly sang along with her mother.
We belong where their hearts do too.
Sam didn't understand. Were they singing farewell? Was this the end?
Earth and wind will hear our song.
Bring us wherever we may be needed to hear.
Jack let his arms drop. It was useless.
His eyes filled with sadness while he looked at Angel's body.
Even in battle, even in pain, we must never give up hope.
Suddenly Jack's eyes grew wide. Slowly, one by one, Angel moved her fingers.
For whatever may happen, we must not forget...
The woman stopped singing. Sam looked questioned. Why did she stop?
But her heart made a jump when she saw Angel moving.
Said girl pushed herself slowly up on her arms, face down, red hair as a curtain around it.
Her voice, soft as ever, sang out the last line…
"For whatever may happen, our hearts will be near…"
Apophis' head jerked back into her direction.
Angel crawled back up on her feet. She lifted her head up, her eyes shooting flames.
A few of the villagers cheered, and Sam couldn't help but cry again. She was alive!
"How...how is this possible?" Apophis looked at his men. "Kill her!"
Six staff weapons were fired at her, but with a simple wave of her hand, their attacks fell out in dust.
She had set her fear and pain into strength.
With another sway of her hand all of the remaining Jaffa flew at least 60 feet backwards.
Apophis lifted his ribbon device, but Angel's magic was not limited to her hands. Cocking her head to her left, Apophis right hand turned as well. Only his hand.
He let out a cry of pain, but the loud sound of bones breaking could not be missed.
Angel blinked, thereby letting go of his hand. Apophis ran away, holding his arm tightly, and swearing in Egyptian.
The villagers ran down cheering and yelling, surrounding Angel as she walked down to her friends.
Jack was sitting with his knees propped up, still in his bubble-looking cell. "Hi."
She chuckled, and tapped her hand on top of his bubble. "I think I'll keep you like this. You guys look cute."
"Don't you even think about it."
"Argh, what happened?" Daniel tried to sit up.
"Oh, nothing much. Angel sang for Apophis, she broke his hand, you passed out and now we're all locked up in bubblegum. By the way, Teal'c, do you know how to get out of these things?"
"I do not, O'Neill. These manuals must be used from the outside." He pointed at a little thing above his head.
Daniel sat up. "Well, if Angel could describe what it looks like, I could tell her how to open it after stu-"
Angel laughed and gave a good knock on Daniel's bubble. It disappeared, causing Daniel, who wasn't prepared, to land on the floor. His hat shoved over his nose.
"Oh. Okay. That's another way to do it…" his muffled voice said.
She repeated that movement on every bubble, setting her friends back free.
As she turned, she met the eyes of Lekandra.
"Thank you, Lekandra. Your song has given me strength."
But the smiling woman shook her head. "I have only helped you finding it. I am glad you remembered the song."
Angel grinned. "Of all the things in the world, a song might be the last thing I'd forget."
Sam shrieked. "Sir! Your hair!"
"Shit!"
"No sir, I mean, it's not blue anymore!"
Jack looked at her, and then at Daniel, who grabbed his hat from his head as well. His hair had turned to normal too.
"Woohoo! No more blue fungus hair!" Jack yelled.
Teal'c raised his eyebrow at the skipping Colonel.
"Angel, care to explain?"
The redhead gave Sam a confused look. "Don't look at me, I don't know how it happened!"
"Maybe your sudden outburst at Apophis has something to do with it." Daniel said. "After all, your magic is based on your feelings."
Angel nodded. "Perhaps."
Jack swung his arm across Daniel's shoulders. "Ah, who cares, we've got our normal hair back. That's what matters."
Daniel gave a skeptical look at Jack's grey hair. "I think the blue hair suits your skipping-act better."
Sam chuckled. "Anyway, we're done here. Thozos, the leading elder, has been very friendly to us, he really wants to stay in touch with our world."
"I believe it is wise to send SG-9 back to this planet after we return."
"Good idea Teal'c." Jack said happily. "In fact, I've got a plan myself too. It's called: operation "let's go home"."
That's it folks! All please review, and I'll see you all next time on the muppet show! Yaaaaay!
(shoves Kermit out of the way)
Okay people, you heard the frog. And remember: if you have ANY ideas, tell them. I'm notthat good. Ahem.
