The first explosion was deafening, the metal from the ship must have come raining down fairly close to them and Vala knew the window of opportunity for Daniel was tiny now. It all seemed to swim for Vala, the poison in her system making her more disoriented as time passed, yet she trudged on. Long strides along the corridors. When the Jaffa nearly fell, fumbling with their precious load Vala snapped at them to hurry again. "Yas! Yas!"
Her panic wasn't for the choas outside, it was for Daniel. They hadn't banked on needing extra precious time for reviving him, the process wouldn't be quick, but they couldn't leave until it was done. Regardless of how fast the chaos and raining debris of explosions was progressing outside, this detour was now necessary.
A secondary explosion seemed to come from directly underneath them as if the ground was cracking and threatening to open up and swallow them. Vala steadied herself against the gold ornate walls for a moment. The next doorway ahead opened up and a patrol of four Jaffa stood with staff weapons ready, lower ranking Jaffa that by the looks of it did not know of their God's new vessel. The staff weapons were ready and aimed directly at Vala.
It would only take an angry flash of her eyes to subdue them if she really was their God, but that wasn't possible. There wasn't time to spin elaborate lies either, she had to think on her feet, which given the weakness that grew inside her as the poison spread wasn't easy. It was hard to see with clarity never mind think. She raised the hand with the device and threw the first Jaffa stumbling backwards until he was pinned to the wall by the orange beam of light and energy.
"You will pay for your insolence to your God." With a twist of her hand and an intensified attack, her hand fell back to her side and the Jaffa fell to the floor in writhing agony. She hadn't given it a second thought, but the display would be enough for them to progress without hinderance hopefully.
