After the Anubis first big strike against Earth, and be saved by Thor once more, O’Neill assumed as a Brigadier General of the US Air Force in command of the SGC, and the first thing he did was promote Samantha Carter to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and as the new representative of the Intergalactic Republic of Andor, he got the duty of promote Sean O’Neill to the rank of Ancient Commander, and Jade O’Neill to the rank of Alantus Commander, and told them about their new missions.
At that time, Daniel was with the science team in Antarctica, checking the Ancient outpost, that day, Jade and Al were with Daniel, checking some writings they found, from their culture, and helping him with the research, when O’Neill arrived, along with Major Sheppard, in that moment, Dr. McKay was trying to convince Dr. Beckett to operate the Ancient control chair, releasing a drone, that started to chase Sheppard’s Helicopter, Jade was about to take her flight board to go for it, but Daniel stopped her, she was his friend’s daughter, and also his girlfriend, so he wasn’t going to allow her to do it, unfortunate she escaped, and with her board at hand, she chased the drone, until it was back on the ground. Once O’Neill knew, he was going to reprehend her, after the Antarctica ’s research, the expedition team started preparations for the mission, and at the SGC as well
After the time in Antarctica, Jade was with Daniel in his room at the SGC, laying on the bed, Daniel was holding her, while she was in his arms, and talking about the recent events, “I can’t believe that my dad is not going to be with us in the field anymore…” she said, “yea, I’m going to miss my fights with him, our discussions about scientific matters, and what about those new missions” he asked “I don’t know yet, Dad is going to brief us tonight, Dr. Weir is going to be there too” she said, “really, why?” he asked, “I don’t know, he said it might do with the expedition” she answered, “to Atlantis? I wish we could go there, but your dad won’t let me” he said, “I don’t think he would let me either…oh Daniel…” she said, but she couldn’t finished, “what’s my Jay? Is something wrong?” he asked her, “no, nothing, is just that, much has changed the past time, Dr. Fraiser’s death, General Hammond new assignment, my dad’s promotion, my promotion too, is too much, and…” she said, “hey take it easy, slow down, I’m still here, and I’ll never leave you alone…” he said, “thanks, Danny” she said, after that she saw her watch, and it was time for the briefing, she said goodbye to Daniel, and headed to the conference room, where her dad and Dr. Weir were, and O’Neill said, “ok, the new assignments: Jade, you and Al will be sent to Pegasus with the Atlantis Expedition, and you will be under Dr. Weir’s orders, and Sean and Nicky will remain with SG1 under the orders of Colonel Carter”, then Dr. Weir had a call, she was needed somewhere else, that gave Jay some time with her dad, she headed to his new office, where there was also Sean, and there they discussed the matter, “dad, why you sent us to Pegasus? Why you separate me from Daniel and my brothers?” she asked, and O’Neill said “Sean, can you wait outside…Jade, my little girl, listen to me, this are not my orders, this came from the Andor High Council, I had to took it as mine, so Dr. Weir wouldn’t ask, she doesn’t know all, here is some intel they had sent you, trust me, if it was for me, you would remain here, with me, I’m sorry…” he said, “at least, can Daniel come with me?” she asked, “no dear, I’m sorry, but we need him here, don’t worry, all will be alright…” he said, “if you say so…” she answered and ran to Daniel’s room, she needed him more than anything else. Then Sean entered his dad’s office, and said “why she ran like that?”, “she is mad, that’s all, right now, she will be ok if we let her be with Daniel” he answered, “When do they leave?” Sean asked, and Jack answered “two days from now, can you help them to prepare their stuffs, but do it tomorrow”, and Sean agreed with his dad.
At Daniel’s room, Jade entered almost crying, and he asked “hey, what happened? hey…” but she just let him held her in his arms, and cried, while he said “oh, easy, all will be ok, remember, all will be ok…” after a few minutes, she stop crying, and he asked once more, “what happened?”, and she said “they sent me to Pegasus”, “oh…hey, easy, this will be a great adventure, I know I can’t go, but you do, come on, this will be a great chance…” he said, “but, what about us?”, she asked, “hey, may be is time to be just friends now, our relationship will be on hold from the moment you step through the gate to Atlantis, but once you return we will see, to continue, hey, this will be the greatest chance, don’t let it go, hey, may be you will find someone there…” he answered, “I doubt it, no one like you” she said, after that both remained in silence, Daniel had Jade in his arms, and she enjoyed the moment for the eternity.
Before they departure, O’Neill talked with one of the expedition members, Major John Sheppard, “ok Sheppard, I’m glad that you are going, but there is something I want to ask you.” Sheppard looked at the General with a surprised face, “me sir, hum, ah, and, ah, what it is, sir?” then O’Neill looked at him and said “well, I want you to take care of someone there…my daughter and my son” Now the surprise was double on the Major, who answered “your children, sir. You’ll send them with us? And, hum, why me, sir?” O’Neill looked seriously at the Major, and then finalize “because of reasons that I already explain to Dr. Weir, and because I trust more in one of mine, than a Marine to take care of them, now Major, I thought you have work to do.” That said, he looked at his superior officer, and said “yes sir, if you excuse me”, and O’Neill said “go a head Major”. Sheppard leaved O’Neill’s office, and made his way to his car in the superior level.
That night, before they went through, Jade and Al headed to talk to their father, “dad, hum, I’ve been thinking, and, well, I have no choice, because is a mission, but I want to talk about the fact that is really dangerous, so, I don’t want that any one knows that we are Akaris knights, so at that way we’ll keep a low profile, please” and O’Neill said “very well, dear, no one will know, except from Doctor Weir” and she said “no, dad…” but he responded “dear, I have to tell her, she is your new command…”, “dad, if what I read was true, I’m the highest ranking officer there…” and he responded “yes you are, but you said yourself that you wanted to keep a low profile, don’t worry, no one else will know, well, no by me” after that she walked out and went to Daniel’s lab, while Al went with his brother to the commissary, there she found him, doing research as always. When he saw her, said “Jade, hey, how are you, is everything ready?” She smiled at her love, and said “yep, everything is ok, hum, I just came here to give you this” he took the book she was holding and said “what is it?” “The Akaris’s history, I thought you might like it.” She said, then Daniel looked at her, and said “thanks, a lot; Oh, I want you to have this, is an Abydonian necklace, so you keep me in your thoughts”, she smiled at Daniel, and then said “thanks Daniel, and I know that one day you will find your way to Atlantis, but I wish you were coming with me, now I’ll go to my room to arrange my final stuffs, tomorrow would be a big day. See you”, “hey, hum, go to my room tonight, I’ll be waiting for you, I love you”, she smiled and said “I love you too, Daniel”, then she left the room, and headed to her room.
In her room, she was still dressed with her Akaris knight uniform, looking at her stuffs and bags; she checked one more time that her weapons were ready, blast gun and sword. Then she turned her attention on her family pictures, there was one with Jack, her father, Daniel, Sam, Teal’c, Sean, her brother, Dr. Frasier, and General Hammond; and another one with her flight team, and finally, her real family, it was a really old picture, but on it was her, Sean, her mother, her big brother, and her step-father, and there she remembered the promise to find her family, one day she was going to return to Anorax, then her brother entered her room, he looked at her and said “Jan, are you ok?”, she turned to her brother, then she said “I’m fine, is just…”, he looked at his sister face, she was really worried, and sad, for leaving her family again, then he said “Jan, I’ll always be with you, remember, you are never alone, and Al will be with you, you just have to trust, remember Kiro’s teaching Enjoy the moment, live the present, but don’t forget the past, and do not keep your mind in the future” She smiled at her brother, then she said “thanks Sean, you always know how to cheer me up, thanks, brother” he kissed her, and then he said to her “now, rest, tomorrow you begin your new adventure” That said, he leaved the room; now she was alone, she decided to take a bath, and then she went straight to Daniel’s room, where they shared the last night together, a wonderful and eternal night of love, but she knew it was the last one, because next day she started her way to another galaxy.
Ten and a half in the morning, the base was running, and the expedition members were arriving, from different countries, Canada , England , Scotland Elizabeth Elizabeth
Dr. Weir was already down on the embarkation room, leaving with the first military contingent, in the head of Colonel Sumner, then the next on the head line were Maj. Sheppard and Lt. Ford, where they were, next to the gate, a young girl, and a little boy arrived, but no one said a thing about her, then O’Neill gave the order “Expedition team, move out!”, after that, Sheppard asked Ford “how does it feel like?”, and he answered “hurts like hell, sir!” after that, he jump through the wormhole, followed by the nervous Major, the boy and the girl. Once on the other side, Jade took out her sword, and Al too, while the others were holding P90, they made their way through Atlantis. The scientists started to look around and soon they found that they were underwater, and that was not all, there was a shield holding the water, but it was collapsing to the minor levels, and the ZPM was draining power, then Colonel Sumner suggested that they dial the gate, but Dr. McKay said that it wasn’t enough power for establish a wormhole back to Earth, so, Maj. Sheppard suggested that they dialed to somewhere in the galaxy, that said, Dr. McKay found a gate address that feels suitable, then Dr. Weir said to the Colonel “Colonel assembled a team, we need a save harbor or better still another power source”, after that, Colonel Sumner called two of his teams, and headed to the gate, then Dr. Weir turned to the Major, and Jade, and she said “Major, Jade, I want you two to come along”, Sheppard answered “yes ma’am” and both headed to the gate, followed by Al. The gate was open and Dr. Grodin had sent the MALP, then he turned to the team, and said “the MALP reads full viability, and no immediate signs of activity around the Stargate, but it speech black, for now we are going to use the tried intrude system for identification of inbound travelers” that said, the Colonel called his men “let’s move out.” The team step through the Stargate, and found themselves in a new planet, the Colonel gave the order to start moving, when they had less than a quarter of the way made, Sheppard heard a noise, he made a sign to Ford, who moved his position to where he was, then two boys appeared, and fell into the floor, scared for the men with guns pointing at them, then a man appeared next to the kids to stop them, after that he asked them if they were there to trade, and Sheppard answered him “yes, we are traders”, so the man guided them to the settlement, on the way, Ford asked his superior officer if he had a problem with Sheppard, but he answered Ford, that the problem was his record, he never liked anyone who doesn’t follow the proper chain of command.
Minutes later, the team arrived one of the shelters, there they met Teyla, the leader of that people, who introduced her self “I’m Teyla Emmagan, daughter of Tegan” then, the Colonel introduced he and his men “Colonel Marshall Sumner, Maj. Sheppard, Lt. Ford, and Captain O’Neill, we have very few specifics needs”, but she told him that she doesn’t trade with strangers, then Major Sheppard interrupt “well, then we’ll have to know each other, me, I like a Ferrari’s wheels, college football, and anything that goes for more than a two hundred miles per hour” with that resource he tried to break the ice between them, then Teyla invited them to join them in a traditional tea before morning. In the morning, Sergeant Bates found an old ancient city, right in front of the settlement; Sumner decided that he needed to look around, but the locals warned them that some creatures, called the Wraith, would come, if someone entered in the old city, but that didn’t stop Sumner, he went outside the tent, and join two of his men, they talked about the city, and Sumner said that he needed to go there, but Sheppard said that may be the Wraith are the enemy that the lady of the hologram, they found on Atlantis, was talking about, then Sumner said to them “stay here and find out what you can, Ford you head back and report in to Weir, tell her that we’ll have answers for her in a few hours”, then he headed to the children, and he ordered them that they had to remained near Maj. Sheppard, but she knew what she had to do, she wasn’t in Pegasus because her father wanted that, in fact the order came from the Intergalactic Republic of Andor, she was there because she needed to find the Remnants of the Aganos and the Agon Empire.
Ford made his way to the gate, while Sheppard went to where Teyla was; there she asked him if it was true that they can’t go back to their world, and Sheppard answered “no”, “then there is something you should see” she said to him, before taking him on a trip through the forest. By that time, Jade and Al were on the forest, looking for any sign of the Remnants, when they found them going to one of the caves, both decided to follow them, may be there they could find the answers they were looking for. Maj. Sheppard followed Teyla into the ruins, and she showed him some drawings about their history, about the Wraith, how they allowed the humanity of Pegasus to grow in numbers, and then returned for their human herd, after that she figured that it was going to get dark soon, so she said to the Major to head back to the settlement, and so they did, followed by Jade and Al, who suddenly felt a disturb in the air, something was going on.
Ford was in the gate, when Sumner asked him for Maj. Sheppard, Ford answered that Teyla had took him to an old ruins, and that was why he was out of radio range, then the gate turned on, and three enemy ships went through, Ford radio Sumner to tell him what was going on, and it wasn’t long when Sumner saw them too, the soldiers started to fire at the ships but nothing happened, then the ships started to beam people aboard them, and the soldiers started to see enemies on the ground, and so did Sheppard, until Teyla told him “they are not really there, do not trust your eyes the wraith can make you see thing that are not there…we must hurry!” then both made their way back, unaware of the kids, then Sheppard radio Sumner and told him that what they see in the ground it was just and illusion, and they had to concentrate on firing on the ships, and so he did, Sumner gave the order, and order Bates to use is bazooka and fire to one of the ships, the ship was fall apart, but Sumner and Bates were taken. Sheppard and Teyla were running when a ship found them, he jumped out of it way, but the beam took Teyla, Sheppard was still on the ground when Jade and Al arrived at his position, when he saw them, he said “where you’ve been?” but she answered him “come on, we must hurry, the ships are leaving!”, that said both made their way back to the settlement, then Ford radio him and said that the gate was on, and two enemy ships were approaching, so Sheppard said to him “Let them go, there are friendlies on board, look at the dialing device, burn those symbols in your mind” after that the ships were gone, and Sheppard arrived with the kids to the settlement, there they found some survivors and Jinto, and with the trash of the wraith ship he found a hand of a Wraith.
In Atlantis, Dr. McKay was making the impossible to save the city, but they were running out of power, and they haven’t heard a word of Colonel Sumner, they didn’t know what there was waiting for them, but Dr. McKay insisted that they didn’t have time, so Elizabeth called all the personnel for an immediate evacuation, Rodney started in dialing the gate, the shield was failing, and there was no time, but it was interrupted by an incoming wormhole, then they received Lt. Ford’s IDC, a moments later they saw, coming through the Stargate, Major Sheppard and the team, with some survivors from the settlement, then Elizabeth told him that there was no time to rescue anyone, and they were evacuating, but Sheppard answered her that going back was a bad idea, then she told him that the shield was failing, and the ocean was about to crash on them, then he turned to Jinto, and said “Jinto, you have another address we can gate to?” the boy smiled and said “yes, many” then Sheppard took him to the stairs, then Elizabeth said “he’s just a boy”, and the boy answered “I’m Jinto” and Sheppard said “she is pleased to meet you!” taking him to the DHD, but before they could reach the up level, the shield failed, and the city started to move, the expedition team felt like a big tremor going through the city, Sheppard was holding the boy, and Ford was trying to hold Elizabeth and Jade, Grodin planed to dial an address, but Elizabeth stopped him, and slowly the city started to rise from the ocean, into the surface. When it stops, Elizabeth, Sheppard, Rodney, Jade, Al, Ford and Jinto, went to the window and watched the large view, and Elizabeth said “we were hoping for another day, looks like we just had a whole more than that, let’s not waist it”, that said, everyone headed to their respective jobs, Ford was ordering the gate room, and sending everything to their respective places, and up in the control room, Sheppard asked Dr. McKay, when he could tell him where the Wraith had taken Colonel Sumner and the others, but he said that, even with the six symbols Ford provided them there was still seven hundred and twenty possible address, but his patient was too short for that, so he said “take with the coordinates you can get a lock on, and when you found one send a MALP”, then Rodney leaved to do his job, and Elizabeth called him to talk about the situation.
In the meantime, Jade was lining her computer to the city’s data base, if there she could find some information about the existent of Lord Aganos in Pegasus, but the problem was that the base was the same from the last ten thousand years, either way, she found something, copy it on her computer, before someone realize what she had done, and erase it from the Ancient Data Base, she knew the humans, and it was better for them to not know about it for the moment, then Grodin found her and said “hey you, what are you doing” she looked at the doctor and said “no, nothing sir.” Grodin smiled at her and said “are you Jade? Major Sheppard is looking for you” Jade stood up, and gave the thanks to the doctor, and made her way to were the Major was.
When both met with Sheppard, he said “come on, we found the planet”, then Jade said to her brother “ok, Al, stay here, I’ll be back soon”, after that she headed with Sheppard to a ships bay in the up level from the gate room, there they aboard a little ship, there was a strike team ready for the rescue, Jade went with Ford and Sheppard to the cabin of the ship, there the two pilots had a little discussion for the name of the ship, Ford was going with Gate Ship One, and Sheppard with Puddle Jumper One, either names were stupid for Jade, who knew that it real name was Lantean ChargeFighter, also called Lantean Cargo class, she had never seen a real one before, but she have seen pictures of it, either way, in her mind was constantly jumping the thought of Daniel Jackson. Then Sheppard made their way through the gate to the Wraith planet.
When they arrived the orbit, the HUD screen came in, and both, Sheppard and Ford didn’t know why, then Ford asked about how they were going to find them, Sheppard said that he was thinking about it too, and so he realize that the ship is controlled by his thoughts, so he said “now I’m thinking about a nice turkey sandwich” but nothing happened. Jade, who was seated behind the Major, thought that the conversation was boring and stupid.
Sheppard landed the ship, and Ford said to his men that everyone should be ready, after that the teams went out of the ship, and Sheppard said to them “oh right, teams of two, learn what you can, lay down the defenses where you seen fit, we want be able to light up this place if we have to, to clicks and you are clear to talk…do not engaged the enemy, Ford, Jade you with me” that said, they made their way through the forest, until they arrived and strange structure, they made their way in, Ford was placing some C4 charges, and Sheppard was finding his way with the Life signs detector, but Jade trusted her instincts, more than those devices, then they arrived to one of the cells, there was Teyla, Bates, and the others that were trap by the Wraith, there he learn that the Wraith had taken Colonel Sumner, but they didn’t know were, then Sheppard looked at Ford and said “use your C4 and blow a hole and get this people out of here on my signal, I’ll go and find the Colonel with this, there are not many wraith around, I should be able to do this, if I’m not back in twenty minutes, blow the cells and get out” but Ford said to him that he was the only one who could fly everyone out of here, but he said that he was going to fly them all, including the Colonel, and that he would find him, then he made his way followed by Jade.
Then, a few minutes later he found Colonel Sumner, but it was a bit late, the Wraith female was feeding on him, so he fire at her, but she regenerate the wounds taking the life of Sumner, then Sheppard realize that he wasn’t able to kill her, and that Sumner was in a great pain, and suffer, so he decided to end his life, and killed him with a shot in his heart, that hurt the Wraith too, because her hand was in his chest, but he didn’t realize that a Wraith was behind him, and it stunned him, then took him to the Wraith Queen, when he woke up, she was questioning him about the Lantean device he was carrying, but he didn’t answered a thing, then Ford appeared and so did Jade, they started to fire on the Wraith, then Sheppard gave the order “lighted up”, all the C4 exploded, and they had their way free, but before, he took one of the Wraith weapons and with it kill the female wraith, and before she died, she said to him “you don’t know what you have done, we are merely the care takers for those that sleep, when I die, the others will awake, all of them.” After that Ford asked him that what she was talking about, how many of them were there, the three of them turned their faces to the ceiling, and saw the wraith waking up, then he said “sir we need to leave”, then they made their way to the exit, Sheppard radio Bates to meet them on the exit, and from there they would make their way to the Jumper.
Running through the forest, Sheppard ordered Ford to take their six, while he was taking them back to the jumper, but Teyla knew that he would reveal their position if the Wraith used their illusion powers, and he closely did, but she managed to stop him before it was too late. Sheppard arrived to the Jumper with the survivors, and order them to get in the Jumper, change weapons with Stackhouse, and head back for Ford and Teyla, they were besieged by the wraith ships that were there, then Sheppard fired at one, and help them on the move, then they went in the Jumper, Sheppard took the pilot chair, and turn on the Jumper, and cloaking it from the Wraith. Ford thought that that was the hard part, but there was something waiting for them at the gate. There they were, a bunch of Wraith ships at the gate, Sheppard knew that if they dialed the gate, the Wraith were going to shot in blind, and hit them in their approached, so he took out the cloak to make them hunt him, so they could double back and dial the gate, but he knew that his tactic would take a while, and a few passes from the gate, on the first pass, he order Ford to dialed the gate on his mark, but before he took some damage, and he asked for a weapons console, then, next to the pods of the Jumper, appeared a weapon that was like a light torpedo, that destroyed a Wraith ship, Ford told him to tried the invisible mode again, but he said that it took some damage, and ordered him to dialed the gate, and so he did, the gate started to activate. On Atlantis, Weir gave the order to raise the shield of the gate. Then Sheppard ordered Ford that he got to send his code on the next pass and so he did, on Atlantis, Elizabeth
That night, after the arrival to a new galaxy, Elizabeth Elizabeth
He approached to her, and said “there you are. You gave me quite scare.” She smiled at the Major and said “I’m sorry, we never mean to”, he smiled back, and said “come on, I want you to meet some of the people here, oh, and I’m Major John Sheppard, by the way…Jade”, she smiled at the Major, she didn’t know he knew her name, and she never thought that he or anyone would be kind with her there, “my name is Al”, then both followed him to the edge of the balcony, there were Teyla, Ford, Carson, Elizabeth and Rodney, then Elizabeth said, “hi, where were you, you got Major Sheppard a little scared”, Jade smiled and said “I’m sorry, we just needed to do something”, then Carson said “oh, hum. Hi, I’m Dr. Carson Beckett”, after him, Ford said “and I’m Lieutenant Aiden Ford”, “hi, my name is Jade Samantha O’Neill, and my brother Alan Daniel O’Neill”, and Carson asked “like General O’Neill?”, “yea, well, he is our father” she answered, then Weir asked her “hey, and who was the handsome boy that was with you in the control room”, she smiled and said “my brother, Sean Alexander O’Neill.” “Oh, well, hum…” Weir said, but before she could said something else, Sheppard said “Jade, I have already thought about you for my team, both of you, I mean, would you join me”, Jade smiled at the proposal of the Major, then she thought that be in his team would help her in her mission handed from the Republic and kept her mind occupied to not sense the miss of Daniel, then she said “ok, Major, we accept your invitation”, “good”, after that, they split up, and Elizabeth remained with her, while her brother walked with Sheppard, and she said “so, you were with Dr. Jackson, weren’t you?”, “yes, we were together, since he came back” she answered, “it must be hard for you to be away from him” Elizabeth asked, “yes, it is, he was all for me, and SG1 was my family” Jade said, “well, now you have two families, SG1, and us” Elizabeth said, then she smiled and said “thanks doctor”, after a few hours they headed back to their temporal quarters and sleep until the next day, because then, all of them knew that they had a lot of things to do, even Jade, she needed to start her research of the Aganos, before they allied with other races and tried to gain the control of the Republic again, and if they joined the Wraith, that was much worst, she needed to stop them, and stop them now.
To be continued….
