Sobek saw the intent in her eyes and saw his kara-kesh on her hands. The energy blast came hurtling at them and even he wouldn't be able to get out of the way. Daniel jeered at him, how did it feel now to have a human get the upper hand, followed by relief that Vala acted.
The System Lord acted fast, millenia of combat and reaction ingrained into him. Right before the blast hit them full on, he pushed Daniel to the forefront, let him have full control, using his host to insulate himself from the brunt of pain. He increased the pain centers in the brain and redirected it solely for the host. The blast hit them both in the chest, with all the power Vala put into it. Sobek thought he felt their ribs crack, the blow shuddering through them, burning them, but for the System Lord, it was like thunder off the distance, real but an echo, inconsequential, sparing himself the full effect.
Sobek made sure to let the vessel have full control of his vocal chords this once.
What came out was a very wounded, very animal cry that would never come from a Goa'uld. Unprepared for having control back or the intense pain, Daniel was taken completely by surprise. He staggered back several steps and collapsed. Daniel lay there wheezing, one hand limp, the other clawing at his chest, eyes fluttering as he sobbed for breath. The pain at intolerable levels for the host, he couldn't do anything but lie there.
