The Apprentice

Chapter Eight: Ra's Attack

Authors note: Okay if the portion of the texts is in italics when someone's speaking then it means they're speaking in another language, and I thought Adolfina should be able to learn their language pretty quickly cause' it seemed as if Daniel learned their language fairly quickly in the movie.

Daniel had just finished explaining their language when we crested the final dune, but when I looked where the pyramid should have been there was a larger pyramid shaped object resting on top of the actual pyramid. All of us dropped to the ground.

"What the hell is that?" Jack exclaimed.

"Here, you might need this," Brown stated, handing Daniel a pistol. They all got up and I got up ready to follow them.

"NO!! You stay here until one of us calls for you," Jack shouted, leaving no room for argument.

I scowled, but for once did what he said. Daniel smiled at me before following them inside the pyramid. I kicked at the sand and growled out a cuss word in Latin. Suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder causing me to jump. I turned ready to fight but stopped when I noticed that it was Skaara.

"Dang it Skaara you scared me," I exclaimed, surprising him by saying it in his language.

"How?" He asked.

"Daniel taught me what he learned from Sha're," I answered. Skaara smiled, and nodded his head. He motioned towards the pyramid, then started walking.

"Wait Jack told me to stay out here... then again when have I ever been known to do what I'm told to do," I shrugged, following Skaara and his friends.

I could hear Skaara and some of his friend's snicker at my comment. We reached the pyramid after a few seconds, and Skaara and his friends gathered around a window on the side. The boys lifted Skaara up off the ground enough so he could see into the window.

"Give me a boost," I exclaimed, walking towards them.

Two of the boys helped lift me up a bit so that I could see in the window. I looked into the window just in time to see Brown get shot by... something. Both Skaara and I ducked down when the thing turned to look at the window. I could hear his friends chattering below me. I looked back up to see Daniel and Jack heading down the corridor towards the Stargate. I jumped down off the boy's shoulders and ran over to the base camp's supplies.

"Adu'lfia what are you doing?" Skaara asked.

"I'm getting weapons so I can go in there and help them," I replied, searching through the supplies.

After a minute of searching I found the weapons. The boys join me, and I can see Nabeh grab a helmet from the supplies. He's grinning like a kid in a candy store, and I couldn't help but smile. Suddenly I heard something flying up above me, and glanced up to see some sort of gliders flying overhead. It looked like they were headed toward the city.

"Get down," Skaara shouted, grabbing Nabeh and pulling him down. I ducked down just in time. The glider flew past me and continued towards the city.

"They're headed towards the city," I exclaimed, standing up.

"We will have to save your friends later. First, we must make sure the city is safe," Skaara stated, running towards the city with his friends right behind him.

I glanced back at the pyramid for a second before following Skaara. We reached the city several minutes later, and I could see the destruction that the gliders had caused. People were lying on the ground injured or dead. I could see Sha're lying on the ground holding an injured girl, and there was a cut on Sha're's head.
