Chapter 11 – The Attack Part 2

Hermione screamed as they pushed Jack down on the ground in front of them in the cargo bay. Harry was very glad that he had thought to put silencing spells up so that if they made a noise they wouldn't be noticed by the Jaffa. Teal'c studied Jack intently.

"It does not look like he is hurt too badly, he is unconscious and his body is spasming slightly every now and again, but other than that the spasms are not bad." Everyone sighed with relief although the three magicals gave each other meaningful looks, knowing that this was the after effects of the cruciatus curse, and they wouldn't know how bad it was until they managed to speak to the man. This of course would be impossible until they had followed their mission, they hoped beyond hope Jack wouldn't get crucio'd again.

It seemed like an eternity before they had reached the Ha'tak, and in that time Jack had not regained consciousness. The Jaffa roughly dragged Jack out of the tel'tak while the rest of them waited. They couldn't afford to move until they were sure there was no one left on the ship, even with their magic.

Finally Jethro made the signal that they could move out, they split into their teams and left team by team.

Team Basilisk immediately left the cargo bay with Hermione in front to disable any Jaffa stragglers. Fortunately they met with none as they were leaving the ship. They crept down the hallways, with Hermione and Tim swapping at every pillar who was on point, while Teal'c watched their back. Finally after a nerve wracking half an hour they reached their target, Hermione and Tim took out several shrunken test tubes each, Hermione quietly casting the enlargement spell on each one, while Tim moved to the correct tubing.

Teal'c meanwhile was watching their backs, when suddenly a blast came out of nowhere, causing all three to duck as much as possible. Teal'c immediately fired back, while Tim and Hermione got behind as much cover as possible and brought their weapons to bear. Tim started shooting in the direction of the blast fire as well while Hermione fired alternately Stupefy's and Reducto's trying to make as much damage as possible and to hurt or knock the enemy unconscious.

"How many are there?" asked Hermione quickly before returning back to firing magically.

"There seem to be a squad of ten, Hermione Granger," replied Teal'c never stopping concentrating on firing on the enemy.

"This is Basilisk Beta, I repeat this is Basilisk Beta, we have ten on our tail, I repeat ten on our tail," said Tim into his radio, breaking the radio silence. No one responded, but this wasn't worrying.

There was no more talk for a while as they tried to take them out, they each managed to one, but the Jaffa had too much of an advantage on the amount of cover they had from the corridor. Suddenly one of the Jaffa got a lucky shot and hit Hermione on the leg, pushing her back into the bulkhead behind her.

Tim went over to her immediately while Teal'c carried on trying to cover them.

"Teal'c it's bad," shouted Tim over the noise of weapons fire as he found Hermione was unconscious. "I can't wake her up."

Team Dragon left the cargo bay next, leaving five minutes before they set off, this time Jethro and Ron took point alternately while Sam protected their backs. They went swiftly moving as fast as possible towards the main engines, their aim was to get as close as possible without being detected.

Dragon team were finding their corridors getting more and busier as they got further towards the main engines, finally Gibbs motioned for them to stop, Ron cast muffliato around them so they wouldn't be heard in their huddle.

"Let's start here" said Jethro. Everyone fanned out carefully down the corridor setting up the explosives carefully and hiding them where they could. Suddenly Ron felt the secret pocket in his shirt go warm, and then over the radio they heard "This is Basilisk Beta, I repeat this is Basilisk Beta, we have ten on our tail, I repeat ten on our tail."

Ron knew that the warmth in his secret pocket was telling him that Basilisk Team had failed in their mission, which meant that he and Harry had to finish Hermione's mission themselves. They gathered together again and recasting a silencing bubble and disillusionment charms they started talking earnestly.

Ron surprised them by starting talking first "Hermione has indicated to me that they have failed their mission, which means Harry and I have to finish it for her."

They all looked at Ron in surprise.

"How did she tell you that?" Sam asked.

Ron drew the coin out of the secret pocket in his shirt, "this just went warm, that was the signal telling me that they have failed. Hermione, Harry and I all carry these so that we could communicate if something bad went down," replied Ron. Jethro looked slightly pissed off about not knowing about this.

"Ok here is what we do, Ron and Sam you go and finish Basilisk's mission and put down more explosives while you are there, Daniel, you and I will finish placing our explosives and then we will move back to the rendezvous," said Jethro firmly. He could see that none of the team liked this idea but they all knew that this was the plan even if someone had been captured or pinned down by the Jaffa.

Jack finally regained consciousness; he kept his eyes closed until he could figure out his situation. He felt that his arms and feet were bound in place, and with an internal groan he could guess exactly where he was, he was no not sure he wanted to open his eyes. First though he took stock of his injuries, he found that he had a headache, and otherwise he could feel his muscles spasming slightly. He was glad he wasn't more hurt, but knew that would change quite quickly. He listened intently to see if anyone was around, hearing nothing he opened his eyes slowly. He groaned out loud this time, he was in the exact same place that Ba'al had tortured him before. He groaned again as the door opened to reveal Ba'al/Lucius who swooped in getting very close to Jack as he noticed he was awake.

"You are finally awake, Jack" said Ba'al gleefully.

"Great noticing skills there Lucy," replied Jack. Ba'al held him under cruciatus again for a few seconds. Jack tried shaking himself to shake off pain from the curse.

"You will find, that with this new body came a lot of new powers," said Ba'al. "For instance, I can cast a spell that will allow me to control you completely; you will do all that I ask."

"Never," replied Jack, he knew what Ba'al was talking about and inwardly hoped he would be strong enough to resist.

"First however, we need to break your will down a little," said Ba'al laughing bringing out a knife, loving the fear that was in Jack's eyes.

AN: Ok again, I know its short, but I keep writing these chapters and then they come to a natural end.
