I apologise if I am wrong with any of this information, like titles, haven't seen much of Stargate in a while and am not sure as to what has happened to people, like teams or titles so if I do write it wrong please tell me and I'll change it.
Daniel stood and watched the daily passings of the people of SG command. A nurse past one way, a captain another, SG6 going off for debriefing, SG5 heading to the infirmary for a check up. It was normal, too normal. As he stood Teal'c came up beside him.
"DanielJackson. Is all well?" the Jaffa asked.
"Yes. But its going too well. How long since we heard anything about the Goa'uld? How many months has it been too quiet for?" Daniel asked sceptically.
"Indeed, but as you say 'no news is good news'." He recited.
"But no news leaves me on the edge, leaves us all nervous for a big fight. Never good news in itself." Daniel answered back watching the door to Jacks new office. General O'Neill. It had an odd ring to it.
"Off world activation!" suddenly blared down the corridor, drawing Jack from his office. He took one glance at the two men outside his door and jogged down to the activation room.
"Any one due back?" he asked.
"No, and no ones off world." The computer tech added.
"Right send in the troops." Jack ordered just as Sam skidded in.
"No ones out there." She repeated.
"Well aware of that Carter." Jack snapped back; he was not in a good mood, he hated paper work.
The iris closed as the blue liquid formed over the gate. It suddenly sprang apart and the computer started bleeping.
"Sir there' a code coming through…it's SG1's code!" he said, startled.
"Maybe someone got hold of our code from a previous mission. This is one from nearly three years ago." Carter told them, looking up the files. "We haven't used this one since Daniel…ascended." She continued uncomfortably.
There was movement from the liquid and a woman dressed in designer camouflage trousers with a black top, torn to revile some cleverage. She was olive skinned and walked with a slight cocky spring in her step.
The open gate behind her opened up for four more people. Another woman, white, dressed in a leather tong top almost bikini style with a reviling skirt flanked the first woman's left side with a young man beside her.
The man was younger than the women who looked early twenty's. He wore a grey desert style rob and looked like he had stubble across his lower jaw.
To the right of the first woman stood two other men. Both about the same age as the women. One wore white robes that were very familiar to Daniel, while the other wore silk Indian style trousers and top in a pale purple and yellow.
The five strangers walked together to the bottom of the ramp and stopped as they heard the solders around them click off the safety of their guns. None of the stranger, however looked concerned, they just waited and watched the main slide doors to the SGC corridors.
Jack turned to look at the other people in the command and found all of them bar Teal'c, reflected his expression, mouths open. He soon realised though that Daniel was missing.
"Daniel?" he asked to the room.
"He was just…"
"There!" one of the men inside cried pointing down to the door the five strangers were watching. Everyone turned their attention to the self same door and watched in confusion as Daniel walked in and began talking, clicking a switch the whole room listened in on the conversation of the frowning Daniel Jackson.
"Marionette?" he asked the leading woman, standing in front of her against the wishes of the officers around him.
"Daniel. I wasn't sure if you would remember us!" the woman cried, throwing her arms around Daniel and pulling him into a hug. Daniel returned the hug, but suddenly felt dizzy. Marionette released the hug but held onto Daniel. "Easy there, your remembering stuff that was locked safely, don't strain it." She warned.
"Sure." He muttered rubbing his head.
"Daniel?!" Jack cried stepping into the room and eying the five strangers warily. "Do you know them?"
"Yes. When…I think when I was ascended." He said looking at Marionette who nodded in agreement.
"We're here to ask for your help." She looked Daniel in the eye and said one word. "Army." He stumbled back but was caught on one side by the man in silk and on the other side by Jack, both glanced curiously at each other before turning Daniel and settling him down on the edge of the ramp. Throughout all of the commotion the link was severed, returning the room to a darker and unnatural light.
Carter came forward and looked at Daniel, kneeling down beside him, his eyes seemed unfocused. He suddenly spoke, before blinking. "I thought I told you all not to get involved, I didn't want you all to get sent back." He said sternly, turning to see Marionette.
"We did, until the Goa'uld showed up." She answered kneeling beside Carter. "We were forced to fight, luckily most of the team turned up to help out. We asked if we could find you and try to convince the seconds." She explained.
"Seconds, attack?" Jack interrupted. "Who are you?" he almost cried out in his confusion.
"I'll explain in the briefing room. This sounds serious." Daniel suggested before standing and wobberling over to the door with the help of Marionette. The SG team followed behind the four other strangers with very confused expressions.
"From what's coming back to me, I got involved in helping mortals to fight the whole Anubis threat and his armies. However these five were close friends and they began to help, fearing the worst-case sanario I knew a final line had to be made, so they said they would help if the time came. Well…I can't remember the trial, but I do remember telling them not to get involved. What happened?" he turned to the five at the end of the table, a line seemed to have been draw with the SG's on one side and the five others on the other.
"A Goa'uld showed up using some of our technology." The Silk clothed man explained.
"The people freaked out completely and took off to the refuse, well Marionette and Samilon both appeared, fended him off until…" the woman drifted off, glancing at the people around her.
"Our own people turned on us." Marionette filled in, lowering her gaze in shame.
"What!" Daniel cried, "What happened?"
"We showed up with the troops and fought them out of there." The man with the grey robes explained.
"However we have been tracked for a day now by our brotherin who turned on us." The man in white explained politely. "I fear we cannot stay long for they will find us."
"I want to help." Daniel said. "I started the revolte, maybe I can convince the seconds to allow it."
"And who are the seconds?" Jack asked, in a daze with all this information.
"We had the first leaders, the ones who ascended the race, but they went off to take a holiday of sorts, never came back. We had the Seconds, the people to fill in." Daniel explained, wiping his glasses. "And I still want to help." He added.
"I was hoping you would say that." Marionette smiled, pulling out a gold arm band from the pocket of her trousers, but her head suddenly snapped up and she stared off towards the room the gate is in.
"There here!" the other woman cried. "We'll hold them off." She stated. Just as she was about to run through the door with the other four ascendants she turned back to listen to Marionette who spoke in another language. The woman nodded after a moment and then ran after her team.
"Do you remember this Daniel?" Marionette asked handing over the armband and glancing over as the entire SGC rocked and thundered.
"We shall investigate." Teal'c stated running out with Carter to see what was happening.
"Yes." Daniel nodded at the young woman. He smiled, "how long will it last?"
"I'm not sure, I don't even know how it works." She answered honestly. Daniel nodded, rolled up his sleeve and put the armband above his elbow. It snapped into place and glowed before settling.
"Did it work?" Jack asked, both curious and concerned.
"Only one way to find out." Daniel said, heading towards the gate room. As he walked in he found three Ancients fighting against the four strangers. Daniel stopped and waited till one of the Ancients turned to face him. He cocked his head to the side before extending his arms out towards the Ancient. Several things happened, Jack and the SG team gasped, a golden light came from Daniel's arms and the Ancient screamed out load. The gold dust retracted and the Ancient crumpled to the floor before disappearing in a golden twister of light.
The four in the room smiled before forcing the two remaining towards Daniel and Marionette. Both extended their arms and destroyed the Ancients.
"You sure you won't get into trouble?" Daniel asked.
"Well they want to meet you command and discuss what is to be done. You see they won't get involved, only until their own kind wee injured. That attack, Daniel, killed twenty of our people, the Ancients. No-one expected that." She said. "Are you in?"
"I'm in!"
