The End
[[OOC: Read this before tagging.]]
Shiva was about to scream some more at the council’s representatives when he heart the sound of his devices powering down. The force field flickered and shut down, which meant the power dampener was also inactive. The “god” had suddenly become very much a mortal, very much vulnerable…
And oh so very screwed.
“DO NOT COME ANY CLOSER!” This time when he yelled he was not smug or disdainful. He was terrified. “I WILL KILL THEM! I WILL—”
It wasn’t clear if it was planned. With the way Kawalsky’s body was twitching, with the way the sweat poured down his face, it could have been a mistake. Or it could have been intentional, if misguided. However it happened, it was a profound mistake, one the goa’uld would pay for with his life.
He pressed the trigger for the bombs. He had no way of knowing they had all been deactivated. All but one.
And though he was voiceless, though no one could hear him save for two telepaths, Kawalsky screamed. He had tried to help the crew. Communicating to the engineers any advice that could help them disable the devices. They wouldn’t have been able to deactivate them without him, not for a while. So many months after he had broken, he thought he could stop the goa’uld from killing.
He was wrong.

Ratchet had successfully deactivated their bomb with her help, but her elation at success had not lasted more than a few seconds. They were off, out of there, but...there were others still here.
Before she could fly back in the other direction to check, the explosion was heard. It happened so quickly that her eyes were too slow to see who might have perished, only to realize that someone had.
She rocketed off after Ratchet, her powers surging to their absolute peak through a sudden, fuzzy grief. Somehow, someway, this injustice would be punished.

He skidded to a sudden halt at the explosion, too shocked to do anything for a moment except try to let his processor catch up to the fact that something horrible had just happened. He didn't say anything--he knew without having to look that Starfire knew as well--just turned around and sped back down the walkways, already calculating the location of the blast.
Damn it all to the Pit, this wasn't supposed to happen! It had to be a mistake! The comm from Leon just gave official sanction to what he was going to do anyway and with the acknowledgment from Starfire, he redoubled his efforts. The sooner they could reach the blast site, the sooner they could help whoever was down there.

With one look from Ratchet, she was racing right beside him. Maybe it wouldn't be too late for someone else.
