Synopsis

Lt Col. Samantha Carther, currently stationed at stargate command base of opporations beneath chyanne mountain in the state of colorado springs is faced with a total system wide computer failure resulting in the activation of the whole stargate system throughout the stars. While searching for the catalyst and a solution to the problem one word appears on all computers.

TORCHWOOD!

Chaper One

Mission Debriefing read like clockwork. Though all scheduled missions would of course continue as normal all others had been placed on hold till further notice depending on how the long ardourous hours of routine maintainance and system checks or upgrades were completed. One such team which in this case was the main primary one SG1 had no scheduled off world missions so they unlike other teams situated at the base were free and clear to come or go as they wished. The team's current leader Cameron Mitchell went off on his own but kept his cell phone and pager on hand at all times, and though it was legal to carry firearms outside the base he left his gear in the base weapons locker room.

Dr Jackson had been requested to attend a viewing at the museum where he had been employed before he was hired in a civilian capacity to solve the puzzle of the stargate program. Daniel still marveled how he managed to accomplish in three weeks what his colleagues couldn't do in two years. Tel'c their resident jaffa had refrained from the invites of both his friends and returned to his quarters to follow the culture of his race. Kel no rem a ritual of deep meditation. Samantha Carter was following procedure as she was heading up and aiding the teams for the routine maintainence of all stargate systems. Scientist, and Astrophyisist with countless years of experience both off world and on earth was settling in to the job at hand. The team would be starting with the longest problem first the upgrade, maintainence and refit of all computers that were for and dealt with the stargate system throughout the universe the main point of origin being the one situated in the gater oom there at the base.

On level 15 of the base which houses the civilian guest living quarters of which there were currently none, this level was at present under strict guard by well armed personnel. The reason being that this level was currently housing a goa'uld system lord who rose to become the most powerful after the ressurected anubis fell as did the rest of the system lords one by one to the one now housed on level 15's civilian area. His name:

Ba'al

Were one to look at the man sitting comfortably in one of the chairs they would think him an ordinary buisiness man rather than an alien from another world. Ba'al was currently dressed in a smart charcoal grey /black pinstripe suit of the highest quality. A male of leaness or athletic build and at around 6 ft odds some would consider quite handsome. Ba'al had short cropped black hair with short cropped beard and mustache. his tanned skin tone made one think of hot heated climates. He had brown eyes and a shrewed intelligence. He had an amiable but charming personality, a wry sardonic sense of humor and held an amusement for some of the more basic cultures of planet earth. He was a man that cultivated power soley for his own gain and danger.

The system lord used his wit and charm for deceptive purposes. sometimes even vindictive or vengeful purposes, you could say it depended upon his frame of mind at any given time. But one should not let this impression make a fool of them for this particular goa'uld had a subtle insidious ruthless streak when crossed or angered. His rational and adaptive qualities allowed him to blend into whichever enviornment he found himself in which in this case was the current situation he no found himself in. He was a prisoner held currently on level 15 civilian guest quarters under strick guard. Was he a patient man? who knows but one thing was for certain the man was making plans for his escape when the opportunity arose, but for now he settled in for the long run and bid his time. Watching, listening just waiting for the right moment.

Chapter Two

Torchwood 3

Late evening long after the team has finished for the evening. Gwen Cooper, off home to her husband to be Ryes, Toshiko Sato off home to her lonely empty house alone as usual. Owen Harper resident medical doctor of the team off out to the local bars and nightclubs to pick up whomever would fall for his tacky lines and bought drinks. This left the only two personnel left. Ianto Jones, general dogsbody for the team but highly appreciated all the same. Always the first to arrive and usually the last to leave but not this night. This night the welsh tea boy as he was known stayed on duty at the hub along with the longest serving member of the team. Captain Jack Harkness. A man that quite literally could not die and who was always on the base sitting behind his desk doing paperwork among other things.

The Captain did not have a home as such, well not like his team mates and friends for him his home was the hub itself. Though he could rest he didn't require it as as such was often awake at anytime of the day or evening. He was a man born of the far future but confined to the present modern day past since he turned up during the Victorian era under the rule of Queen Victoria who would come to found the Torchwood Institute after her encounter with The Doctor and Rose Tyler and the alien life form Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform better know as a werewolf in legends of earth history. Torchwood was named after the Torchwood estate where said incident took place and where the master of the house died and the mistress left in grief. Though Victoria's guardsman referred to Sir Robert Macleish as a traitor to the crown he was not in fact seen as one by her majesty the queen. She choose to honor his bravery and sacrifice by founding the Institute in 1879.

'Tea Sir'

Came a welsh voice from the right of him as he sat at his desk. The Captain looked up startled to relalize that there was still someone on base other than himself.

'Ianto? What are you still doing here? Go on home man, get some rest.'

He responded as he sat back in his chair to stare up at the man that stood next to his desk after placing a hot cup of tea on the table next to him..

'If its all the same sir i think I'll hang around just a while longer. Your welcome for the tea by the way.'

He returned with his usual shy smile and exited the office and walked down the iron stairwell to the main floor. Besides he still had Myfanwy to feed and water. Jack watched

him from his office thoughtfully. In the background the hum of the control tower for the rift hissed and fizzed and crackled causing both men to frown and wonder what the rift was up to this time. But over this small sound came the squawk of the prehistoric teradon that was their resident pet come mascot. Ianto disappeared from view as he went down the iron stairwell and onward to where the teradon had made her nest.

'Come on Myfanwy feeding time.'

The welshman called softly after he had everything sorted. He moved back to the stairwell as it walked out its long snout first before the rest appeared. The teradon looked at him and called a short greeting and went straight for its food. Ianto smiled and turned leaving her in peace. Above in the upper level the rift machine was building in power enough to worry the captain who forgot about his tea and stood up grabbing his coat and slipping it on before walking down to the same level and stopping right in front of it eyes narrowed.

'What is it up to? '

He spoke thoughtfully not bothering to turn around already knowing that Ianto jones was there and reaching for the button that would page the rest of the team to return... Jack turned his dark head and looked over his shoulder.

'What?' Jack waited for the forthcoming response. 'Call it a hunch sir but I think we're about to have a whole lot of trouble coming our way. I sent the text to recall everyone.' Was the reply as he went to stand by the computer monitoring the readings....

STARGATE Command

Daniel Jackson's office.

What could be said but that it was well organized clutter. artifacts, folders, files, boxes, ect strewn all around the room from floor to celing. Even the desk was a well organized clutter of files, folders artifacts small though they were and mission reports that were written up and ready to be filed away. On the desk among the many file folders lay an artifact control device for the quantum mirror that they had found on a previous mission to planet p3r-223. The mirror itself had been shattered into pieces after two unauthorized encounters with it. The mirrors frame was whole and undamaged only its glass like center had been shattered and the pieces stored together with the frame in the room just off the disembarking ramp in the gate room. It had been placed there until they were ready to send it back through the gate.

A young soldier of private rank walked down the corridor towards Dr Jaksons office with a box laden with artifacts and all relevant paperwork to be placed there until it could be tended to. He entered the room and dumped the box unceremoniously upon the desk nudging the unseen control device for the mirror switching it on without realizing it and walked out closing the door behind him and returning to duty. In the store room the mirror switched itself on but since the shattered pieces lay haphazard inside the box there was a glitch and a power surge which emitted outwards and struck the power cables and electrical box which then went through the entire base and into every computer..

Immediately alarms sounded throughout the base and Samantha Carters voice could be heard in the main control room.

'Report System wide power failure throughout the base and computer mainframe. What's happening to cause it'

In the gate room the stargate was active and going around its gate address lights lighting up but not locking onto anything as the lights flickered on and off and computers switched on and off and on again... The general came out of the office and looked at Carter.

'Col Carter?'

Inquired general Hammond.

'Sir we have a system mainframe failure and i don't have any idea as to the cause. The upgrades were running as scheduled without any problems till now.'

Meanwhile in the civilian quarters where Ba'al was being kept

Ba'al looked up at the flickering lighting in the room he was now surviving in and frowned. When he heard the alarms his lips turned upwards into a smile. This he thought was his chance to escape the rooms he was in and either return through the gate or at lease escape from the sgc. He stood up to his full height and reached across to his left wrist touching something unseen, instantly his left hand now had upon it a hand device or karakesh as it was called in the language of the Goa'uld. Ba'al had long ago incorporated into his own the cloaking technology that both now deceased queens Hathor and Nurti had once had. He altered the device used for such so that it now incorporated his entire being and walked towards the door and opened it.

The soldiers both turned weapons raised but before they could do anything Ba'al used the hand device on them and sent them crashing into the wall rendering them unconscious. He walked through the corridors and headed straight for the gate room unseen but just in time to hear.

'Col Carter, General look at the computer screens.'

Both turned around mid conversation at walters voice and looked. One word appeared on every monitor.

TORCHWOOD

(Inside Torchwood 3)

The main enterence into the hub opened and in walked the rest of the team that Jack called friends, family and co workers. Gwen Cooper, Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper.

'This better be worth it' Muttered Owen just as the rift gave a surge of power unlike anything it had before right in its center which it seemed to be powering and sent them all almost crashing to the floor.

'What the Hell?' Came Owens voice. 'Jack what's happening to the rift?' He asked as light and energy flowed all around creating what appeared to be some kind of doorway.

'No Idea.' came the captains quickfire response.

'Its some kind of gateway or door into who knows where? the power readings are off the scale'

The voice of the resident computer expert for torchwood replied.

'Jack its being powered not just by the rift but something else'

Toshiko shouted as she held onto the framework and looked at the readings that torchwood was collecting.

'Can we shut it down?'

asked Gwen. Tosh as she was known to her friends and teammates looked over between Jack and Gwen.

'Without knowing the cause of it in the first place trying to shut it down may cause more damage that good Gwen. There's no telling what will come through it and into here if it is from here? the readings suggest its from somewhere else.'

She replied

'The rift machine didn't open this but its helping to maintain powering of it. Unless we can shut it off at the original source?'

she said shrugging.

'Alright everyone get armed and ready for whatever may come through and find a way to at least keep this contained here and not out there in the city.'

just then two words appeared on the screen that read.

STARGATE COMMAND

everyone looked at one another.

Chapter 3

As a doorway had appeared inside the hub using the rift machine as its gateway that same doorway appeared inside the gate room right in the center of the stargate. Ba'al took this as his chance and walked out of the room and down the stairwell and into the gate room. There he revealed himself to them a smirk upon his lips and turned and walked through the doorway without a word.

'Sir we have to get him back there's no telling what he might do or where he's gone. There's no gate address either so we have no idea whats on the other side of that.' Carter said after their witnessing of Ba'al entering it before they even knew he was there.

'Indeed' Came a deep voice from behind them. Heads turned and saw Teal'c standing there. Moments later Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neill stood there.

'What now! Carter!' he snapped. ''Sir we have a system failure with one word on the screen that reads TORCHWOOD whatever that's supposed to mean and now Ba'al has escaped and gone through.'

She replied to her commanding officer.

''Col Oneill take a team and go and retrieve Ba'al before he does any damage. Col' Carter will remain here to figure out what happened and what is responsible for this and see if it can be stopped. Report back hourly.'

General Hammond stated. Jack Oneill nodded his head as teal'c left to retrieve his staff weapon and daniel also to change and gather supplies of his own. Jack went to retrieve sg teams 3 and 15 telling them to gear up for an unknown mission to who knew where and hope for the best and to meet in the gate room on the double. On the other side of the gate Ba'al appeared inside the hub and stood looking around himself being a man of action he ignored those around him and went straight for the nearest exit.

'Hold it right there Who are you and where exactly did you come from?'

Captain Jack Harkness inquired as he stood up to his full height and made his way towards the intruder. The Goa'uld turned to look at him his eyes glowing and raised his hand releasing the power of the hand device sending the captain backwards and off his feet. The system lord turned around and studied the doorway and it didn't take him long to figure out how to open it, which he did. seconds later the door slid open and Ba'al stepped through it and made for the corridor that would take him out into the city.

Everyone stood up but before they could do a thing more came through the gate lead by jack O'Neill.

'Hold it, who are you people and where did you just come from? and who was it that came through just before you'

Jack Harkness snapped and the new intruders as all his team pointed their guns at the newcomers and waited for answers.

'Ba'al came through here?' O'Neill returned signaling his men to spread out. 'Where is he? We're here to recapture a very bad man and return him to where he belongs.'

O'Neill stated. Just then Daniel Jackson stepped forwards.

'Jack we're in another time or place like with the mirror best not to antagonize the locals' He said and received a glare in response.

'Ah hi I'm Daniel, Daniel Jackson. This is Jack O'neill and the big guy is Teal'c.'

He said by way of explanation as to who they were but not where they'd come from since that was something he couldn't explain. Jack Harkness sighed and rubbed his head thoughtfully.

'Great your all from a parallel world to this one That's all I need' He said and sat down on the top of the desk closest to him.

'Jack?' asked Owen confused only to have Oneill look at him with an inquiring expression and snapping the question at him.

'What?' Owen looked at the newcomer. 'Not you HIM!' he pointed at the head of Torchwood. Jack Harkness sighed and stood up and extended his hand out to Daniel.

'Captain Jack Harkness head of Torchwood. my team Doctor Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato tech specialist, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones. Welcome to Torchwood and as to your previous question the intruder left me seconds before you showed up. Now you want to tell me how and why I now have a parallel doorway opening in my hub using my rift control machine as a power source and just how and why I have one alien and a bunch of soldiers in my base?'

Daniel realized that both men held the same name which was going to be confusing when anyone spoke to either man. 'We don't know Captain Harkness we were upgrading our systems when a complete system failure occurred and the word TORCHWOOD appeared on the screen. Our teammate Sam Carter is with a team of experts trying to figure out how it happened and how to fix it. but our prisoner Ba'al escaped and came through here. We've been sent to retrieve him.' Daniel returned.

'Ah sir with this open it may affect the weevils and other alien species in the city. It may even bring about who knows what while its active' Ianto jones said stepping forwards. In the background the sound of Myfanwy could be heard. Jack Harkness turned to face him.

'Ianto see to myfanway then start monitoring every frequency and news broadcast on anything out of the ordinary. Tosh see if there is a way to find this Ba'al alien that left the hub. Gwen you check in with local authorities and let ryes and andy know what or who to look out for. lets get things moving.'

He said to them all which made his team set to work to fulfill his demands. Jack turned his attention to his guests.

'Lets work together shall we that way there is a better chance of succeeding in you retrieving your alien and returning back to where you came from. By the way don't be surprised if you come across aliens here on earth they show up all the time. '

As Jack spoke to their guests the rest of the team followed his orders to the letter. Tosh had the computer already doing a search. Ianto took care of their alien guests and their resident mascot myfanway. gwen was on the phone to both men to let them know what was going on as well. since owen wasn't asked to do anything he stayed where he was eyeing the newcomers with dislike.

'I say put them in one of the holding cells' he muttered but not low enough that everyone couldn't hear it. 'Owen' Jack snapped the use of the tone in is voice enough to silence the other man.

'Um what did you mean you deal with aliens all the time?' Daniel Jackson asked with a frown, and wondering just what this would mean for either Ba'al or Teal'c for that matter. O'neill also had the same thought and made sure to place himself closer to and in front of the jaffa.

The captain looked at him and smirked. 'This is Torchwood Dr Jackson in this world once the human race hit the 21st century every alien across the universe has decided to visit here with the intent to either invade or wipe out and as you can see they've failed. Plus there is a rift that exists in two places which tends to cause havoc hence out machine which you can now see is being hampered by that portal you all came through.'

Jack harkness was amused that they thought that they would be able to shield their friend.

'If we wanted to contain your friend we could and would and you wouldn't be able to prevent it. but I will make allowances for him since I can see he wont harm anyone unless provoked its the other one that came through first that needs found and contained.'

Jack stared back at all of them and still held a smile on his lips. Most people that knew him knew what he was like when it came to any living breathing being. If he could he would after all Jack was known for such things as trying it on with whomever he could. Tosh looked up from what she was doing.

'Jack things are up and running and a search for him is underway right now. I'm assuming that he's smart enough to want to have followers those that will look out for him if he can so i've created a search pattern for that as well and its running as we speak'

The captain nodded his head to her while o'neill had turned to look at her assuming that it had been himself she was talking to. Gwen reappeared and gave a heads up signal to him so her side was completed. He nodded a second time.

Chapter Four

Outside the base...

It didn't take the Goa'uld long to assess the situation that he now found himself in. a new parallel world and earth where the stargate either did not exist or had yet to be found. Being a man of charm and elegance he immediately set out to achieve a cult following much like seth had done in their own time. He also knew that sg1 would not be far behind in trying to recapture him. The first thing he did was acquire a place to stay, one of wealth and status in the human world then he begun to find followers those that were weak willed and easily influenced to follow commands he gave. What the time difference would be in this word compared to his own Ba'al did not know nor did he care as long as he achieved his goals by using those who would follow without asking too many questions. Humans were after all nothing but slaves or hosts for his race.

STARGATE COMMAND

It had taken hours and hours of work but eventually the team had figured out what was going on. How the pieces of the mirror had been activated by accident by one of the soldiers on the base when he delivered the boxes to Daniels office. It had been an easy mistake to make since Daniel's desk was so cluttered with files, folders , artifacts ect. Once it was established that this was the cause all that remained was to notify the team through the current opening that existed in the gate room between the worlds which was why all off world missions had been put on hold as they didn't know what would happen if the gate was active while this breach between parallel worlds was going on and what else would happen in the mean time.

'Sir if Ba'al is in their world then what from theirs might have come into ours? We've found the cause on this side and they already know the cause on theirs it's just a matter of recapturing Ba'al and bringing him back and then finding out how to shut this down and closing the doorway between both worlds.'

Samanantha Carter asked. The general agreed.

'col carter see if you can make contact sg1 and let them know what is going on then have two sg teams do a sweep of the base make sure nothing came through from their side of things. since this base is in lock down till this is sorted if there is anything here it will not be able to go far. before you do so' He replied and she nodded her head turning to the communications system..

'Col Oneill can you read me?' she inquired waiting

TORCHWOOD.

'What is is carter? we're about to go after Ba'al with those on this side running things'

O'neil replied through his radio.

'Sir we found the cause of the problem. the shattered pieces of the quantum mirror in Daniel's office are active it seems the power surge we encountered activated it. General Hammond says we have to search the base in case anything from that side came through here also?'

she responded.

'That would explain the rift machines power surges too sir in overloading theres the possibility that while active anything that might come through the rift could end up in either world?' Ianto said looking at the captain

'who's that?' Sam said as ianto's voice was heard over the link.

'Ianto Jones Torchwood'

He replied answering Sam Carters question.

'Ianto intros later, tosh do a search to make sure no aliens are missing from here in the hub or coming through the rift and see if there's anything happening above in the city while your at it alien tech included.'

Jack replied and she set to work.

'Sir?' Sam's voice came back puzzled and looking for answers.

'If you like I can send two of mine through to your world to assist in the search they are better equipt to handle them if so?' Jack stated to O'Neill who nodded thinking that it might be a good idea.

'Carter notify the general that there will be two coming through to help in the event that there are things from this side there. Daniel is also returning to retrieve two zat weapons just in case.'

He said over the radio.

'Aye sir but who was that talking just now.' 'Captain Jack Harkness leader of Torchwood and you are?'

Jack inquired with his usual flirtiness and plum.

'Samantha Carter sg1'

She replied back.

'Jack!' 'Carter!'

O'Niell and Gwen replied at the same time.

'This is no time for your flirting ways send ianto and own through to find out if any of the weevils or who knows what is on their side while you and I and these newcomers go after this Ba'al they're referring to.'

Gwen said.

'Are you in charge now Gwen?'

The captain inquired.

'No but we're all used to your antics they're not and it would take too long to get this mess sorted if your in your flirting mode.'

She snapped back.

'Sir she's right besides....'

Ianto never finished that sentence for the whole team knew that he and Jack had something going on together. Jack sighed and nodded his head.

'Owen, you and Ianto go, you know the measures to take concerning anything from our world that might be in theirs stay in touch with Gwen and tosh at all times. I'll aid the col and his team in retrieving their hostile.' 'Aye sir'

They said in unison and went to find what they needed before returning to step through the portal doorway. at the same time Daniel had returned through and went to retrieve two zats while the general had been told what was going on. Daniel returned through moments before ianto and owen returned.

'Zats Jack' Daniel said. 'Generals aware of them and they will have all the help they need. sg 15 an 12 are about to begin a sweep of the base while sam's trying to find a way to shut the doorway and return things to normal.'

O'Neill nodded his head as the two torchwood men stepped through to the other side to be met by sam and both teams along with the general.

Tosh you and Gwen keep in touch on all sides and let me know if anything unusual is going on. you three are with me, your hostile will head for secluded and wealthy area of the city but at the same time he'll be looking for the weak and susceptible to do his work.'

Jack indicated they should follow him to the car so that they could get things underway.

'One thing you should know is that you need do nothing if I go down in any capacity. It wont take me long to recover and be back on my feet.' 'If you die what happens to your team?' Daniel asked as they all got into the car. 'Dr Jackson I can't die I just keep coming back to life. I died once and was brought back to life now I can't die at all believe me so you wont have to worry.'

He said as he drove them out of the hub and to the area of the city that they would need to be in their search for the hostile alien. Daniel and the others had surprised looks on their faces.

Chapter Five

While both teams got to work on both sides of the portal rift tosh and gwen got to work. while gwen did a search of the hub slow though it would be tosh set the computer to detect anything out of the ordinary. Each woman took their own sectors of the base. tosh did the upper levels while Gwen the lower and each kept in tough with the other and if they needed to the could do a conference call for everyone of the team, well their own team that was.

Neither woman could detect or find anything missing from the hub so at least they found themselves safe that way. both women met up just outside of the cells level about to return to the main section when Tosh's alert went off. Each glanced at the other and then ran for the main room and the computer.

Tosh went to the screen to see and then looked over at Gwen.

'We have a problem Gwen a big one.' 'what!'

She said raising her weapon in the event that it was in the hub.

'Not on our side theirs I've got readings of dalek tech and an organic form that is not from our side either but it looks like they have all some how become part of one another.'

said Tosh.

'Oh shit that's all we need cybermen or dalek there we have enough trouble with them here! but what of the organic im assuming its humanoid with part human an dalek now apart of it?'

Tosh nodded'

' Agreed but whatever it is now its going to be trouble. I'm going to send all the info to Jack and our guys there'

Tosh said at the same time as she was sending all the information that they were currently gaining. what was now part dalek would be found out later as pieces of both unas and goa'uld all in one. At the same time as Toshiko was sending the details to Jack about what she had detected the information popped up on Ianto's hand held Tablet as Owen was doing the introductions for them in front of the general and sam carter. Ianto felt the vibration of the tablet and picked it out of his suit pocket and raised it up and read was was now scrolling across the screen.

'Owen. Sorry to interrupt but Tosh has just sent through details that are disturbing she's also got gwen sending through the required weaponry.'

Owen turned around and looked at him.

'What now? Isn't this enough to be getting on with.'

Ianto stared at him as stoic as ever and said.

'Dalek tech has been detected this side along with two strains of unidentified organic life.'

'FUCK! that's all we need' Owen cursed as sam and the general and those who worked on the base that were in the room looked at one another in confusion.

'What is a dalek? and how did it get here?'

Sam inquired stepping forward. both men turned around and stared at her and then at one another.

'A dalek is or rather was a humanoid life form that mutated into a life form that existed in a weaponized outer casing each is the enemy of the other.. The dalek want to wipe out all life throughout the universe. if its not dalek its exterminated.'

Ianto explained to her without expression.

'And now its, here in our world? You mentioned organic strains mixed in with them what are they?' she inquired.

'That's from your side perhaps you can tell us what the strains are?' Owen said stepping up and nodding to ianto to show her the strains integrated with dalek tech. Ianto turned the pda around so sam could see it and read the different strains that were on the screen. She identified two unknown strains which she assumed with of dalek origin but the two the others didn't know she knew instantly. Sam turned around to the general.

'Sir these people are right we have a major situation. The strains they couldn't identify are unas and goa'uld strains. it looks like the lifeforms from their world have somehow merged with both an unas and a goa'uld symbiote. It make the situation even more difficult.'

The information went over the com link back to the hub and was then transmitted to the captain and those he was with at the same time after a small time lapse in receiving or sending of info.

When it came to human beings captain jack harkness knew exactly how to deal with them to make sure that they would forget the incident once it was over and done with. Torchwood had a drug that could and would make sure of that though it was rarely used unless it was absolutely needed and the captain knew that it was something they would have to use where this particular incident was concerned. Now they were at their destination and parked just out of sight where they could assess the situation and learn how many people were in thrall to the alien that was known as Baal. While on the other side of the portal the sgc along with ianto jones and owen harper were in the process of doing a search of the base and the surrounding area on the surface to find the problem that they were facing and to make sure that it would be dealt with before the local population got wind of it.

one advantage that the sgc had over torchwood was that they could call on the aid of their allies whereas torchwood had only themselves to handle any situation that they found themselves in or called into by others.

Previously on Stargate sg1 & Torchwood

torchwood finds that the rift is held open by another reality when sg1 steps through into the hub. While sg1 find the stargate upgrade wont shut off due to the rift and the quantum mirror when the torchwood team come through it.

Chapter 6

A battle on both sides of the open portal ensues when captain jack harkness and sg1 head off to recapture ba'al who has made himself a little cult following of humans that could be persuaded into his service while on the other side of the portal torchwoods owen harper and ianto jones are in the process of fighting a dalek that now has both unas and goauld incorporated into it.

owen was the first to speak up.

'You know i read the files on these things if it does incorporate dna or life form other than itself its not going to like it and its going to consider itself impure. according to the files they tend to exterminate anything that is not pure dalek even their own.'

'Its something we can use against it if we can get into a position to have it talking' ianto said with a grin.

samantha carter was thoughtful.

'then we can shut down all access points and drive it into an area that has no way out'

she responded and went on to speak to the general via radio at a little distance away from them. Back on the torchwood side there was a battle going on against those that were trying to prevent ba'als recapture. oniell and daniel were using tranquilizer weapons so that no one would get killed while teal'c was using a zat weapon only if he had to.

'If we can find the water supply i can put something into it to make them forget that they were here or that they ever were in a battle or encountered any of us. ' jack stated. 'having it is quite usfull on occasion though use of it is done sparingly. '

'why?' asked daniel.

'because i once put it into the water for the entire country and got into a lot of trouble for it dr jackson. the queen was most unhappy.' he smirked oniell looked at him. 'daniel give him a hand to find the water mains so that he can add whatever it is into the system. teal'c an i will get ba'al'

not waiting for a response both men disappeared inside the building. the property though big it didn't take them long to find the water and put in the chemical that captain jack harkness had brought along with him. once he did this they slipped into the building and went after their target from the opposite direction so that they could trap ba'al between them.

Chapter 7

At stargate command after a lengthy battle and loss of a few men the dalek entity was cornered with the only exit shut in front of it though both ianto and owen knew that it was smart enough to find a way out but hopefully not before they found a way to kill it.

owen looked at the dalek from his vantage point.

'dalek we know that your kind exterminate all things not like you even your own if it is not pure dalek. by your own kind you know your not pure dalek so you should have exterminated yourself once you realized this. since you haven't we're going to have to do it for you.'

the dalek raised its eyestalk and looked at him.

'daleks do not take orders! we will find our way out and exterminate. '

while this was going on sam returned with the poison they had managed to created that would kill any goauld life form.

'here release this into the atmosphere inside there the only goauld is the one inside that thing there are no others here on the base'

she said to them.

owen nodded his head.

'the life form inside you dalek is going to die first that will leave you weak and give us more of an advantage to killing you'

the daleks response was to fire hitting a weak spot in the door denting it

'this metal is weak we will destroy it and exterminate'

is responded and opened continuous fire at the point in question with the toxin was released into the room.

'aim for the eye stalk its its only weak point'

ianto said as the toxin took effect killing the symbiote unas life form slowly. though it seemed like hours is was not that long when eventually the dalek failed and was killed by the head of it exploding. everyone cheered.

'right now all we have to do is get rid of the dalek permanently so that the timeline returns to what it should.. nice working along side you all but now we should return to our side and aid in catching your enemy and returning him through before the portal shuts'

over the radio he heard tosh and gwen

'make it fast boys the portal is starting to disintegrate and flicker how long it will remain active we don't know. jacks already been told'

sam used a zat on the dalek entities remains causing it to be vaporized then she guided the torchwood men back to the point of origin so that they would be able to return to their own world. both men said their goodbyes and left. captain jack was getting impatient. he looked over at daniel and noticed that he held a zat weapon as well as a trank gun. using his vortex manipulator he scanned the building for anything alien and got a lock on it.

'daniel i assume one shot of that gun will incapacitate?' he said pointing to the weapon. daniel nodded his head.

'right get it ready along with your tranquilizer were taking a short cut. i've already locked onto your target so you have this one chance to take him down before he can do anything.'

jack held up his hand and with the manipulator.

'put your hand here and hold on this is a vortex manipulator that will allow us a little jump through time and space once we're in the same room its up to you'

not waiting for a response he caught the mans hand and hit the button. instantly they were teleported through time and space into the same room right behind ba'al who turned to face them. daniel immediately used the zat which missed him and ba'al hit him with the karakesh hand device. jack stepped in and hit him hard enough to make him stumble giving daniel the chance to use the trank gun which caught him right in the chest. though ba'al tried to escape the trank was fast acting and put him unconcious within minutes.

jack and tel'c entered the room to find both men tying up ba'al 'daniel?' oniell inquired.

'later jack i'll explain later right now we need to get back as the opening that brought each of us to the other is closing and if we want to get home we have to go now or be stuck here permanently.'

tel'c picked up the system lord and waited.

'right lets get going'

they all headed for the car and got in making sure that ba'al was secured and jack harkness drove the care at its full speed and back to the hub In record time. minutes later they entered the main room.

'jack you've got minuted if not seconds before it closes. owen an ianto are already back.'

said gwen.

'well then best get through before it closes, was nice meeting you and working with you'

jack said shaking hands with sg1. Tel'c was his usual self shook hands and stepped through with Ba'al back into stargate command center which took the system lord and this time confined him where he wouldn't be able to escape also making sure he had no other weapons or devices once the once the hand device was taken from him. O'Niell and Daniel both said their goodbyes and stepped through and seconds later the rift shut down as if it had never been active. there was nothing but silence. on the other side sg1 watched the mirror pieces disintegrate as the gate closed and anything related to torchwood disappeared from the time line.

'well that was one for the books eh Daniel'

Daniel looked at him.

'time travel jack they travel through time and space on a regular basis not just dealing with alien life forms of all kinds. that's how we got to Ba'al in the end.'

jack looked at him.

'disorientating too traveling like that. wonder how the reports for this little adventure will read to those reading it? especially the NID. Can you imagine being able to travel anywhere across the universe with just a little device that's strapped to your arm. i think i am going to leave that part out of the report.'

Daniel wandered off back through the corridors to his office to write up his report leaving jack O'Neill and the rest of the staff in the gated room behind pondering this. in the coming days everything returned to its normal routine on both worlds. reports were written and filed away and off world missions continued. torchwood filed away its own version and went back to protecting earth from alien incursions and other things.

the end.
