Less than a second after the words had left Colonel O'Neill's lips Captain Ferretti was in among the masked warriors.
Unlike most Goa'uld Ra's elite personal guard weren't Jaffa (excluding his First Prime) rather they were humans. However, they were the most elite human warriors and soldiers in the galaxy capable of taking on Jaffa even without the advanced arms and armor they possessed. Beyond that after being chosen to be a member of Ra's guard they were given special genetic and surgical enhancements to increase their attributes. They were undoubtedly the most dangerous infantry force that operated in the Goa'uld Empire. That and Ferretti's caution when dealing with an unknown force is why they were able to last five seconds against Ferretti.
Ferretti appeared at the very edge of the line and launched (what was for him) a probing attack against the Ra guard, a simple straight punch. It tore through him with barely any resistance and decapitated the guard next to him, the only reason it did not kill a third was because of the distance between the guardsmen. Still the Ra Guard acted with commendable speed and efficiency showing their hyper-elite status. After Ferretti had killed two of them, they instantly moved to turn and readjust their line. Already firing their Staff weapons yet not even coming close to hitting one of their fellows or hesitating in the fight against a monstrously large foe they could have never imagined facing.
But it was all for naught their weapons would have to hit an unarmored Tankman multiple times to kill them. Ferretti was an 8-4 physically focused Cruiser his body was comparable to a balanced Battleship even if he had been completely unarmored the Ra Guard's plasma bolts would have been harmless to him. Still they fought (no matter how futile) against the giant monster in their midst as he slaughtered them with just a single pass.
Ferretti having realized how fragile they were simply swept his arms as he ran past them, breaking bodies and removing limbs and heads, finishing in only a handful of seconds. While this was happening, the others had opened up with their Halo arrays and swept the sky clear of any aircraft.
After, the Enhanced Humans when to tend to the terrified Abydosians. Colonel O'Neill ordered his men to heal anyone they could and then dig a bunker to protect the civilians from any large-scale plasma blasts like the one that destroyed the FOB.
As for the Abydosians they had just seen the divine warriors of their god try to exterminate them only to be annihilated in turn by the strange deities before them, for what else could those who make mockery of the warriors of the gods, destroy the sky-chariots of the gods with lighting from their eyes and with that same lightning heal the injured, before finally digging a mighty chamber beneath the earth for them to take refuge in, all of that in under an hour, but gods themselves?

As soon as Jack told him to head back to the pyramid and contact General Hammond, Daniel started to run back as fast as he could. His power armor suit allowing him to make the return trip in only a few minutes.
When he arrived, he found the area around the pyramid to be littered with the corpses of the Ra Guard, with Battleship Musashi standing over them. He also noticed the ruins of the FOB having been blasted and even melted apart. All that remained was a large glass crater and some chunks of the base.
"Doctor, the Colonel has informed me of the plan and I have already secured the inside of the pyramid."
"Good we need to hurry and call for reinforcements I am not sure how long we can last against a sustained bombardment that can do that." Daniel replied.
"Exactly which is why we need to hurr…" Musashi paused before staring off into the sky. Shit!"
"My suits sensors are picking up several vehicles approaching us rapidly from a high altitude you hurry into the pyramid, while I draw their fire."
Daniel knew better than to argue and took off running, while Musashi moved closer to the crater to keep them away from the pyramid. As Daniel ran into the pyramid he glanced back and saw Musashi dueling with a few large vessels he would later find out are called Al'Kesh.
Once he entered the pyramid, he approached the Stargate and the dialing device to enter in the coordinates for earth, hearing an odd whirring sound on the way. As he entered the last of the symbols, but before he was able to press the command button, he heard something snap open before.
Whap!
He was hit by a staff blast staggering him, before another hit him again sending him flying. While his suit was able to protect his life, his unenhanced body wasn't able to take the stress of multiple staff blast in rapid succession and he feel insensate.
The Ra Guard who had attacked him quickly grabbed his body and dragged him back to the Ring Device for transport back to Ra's Sun Barge.

As Daniel came to, he found himself in an opulent throne room. He was still in his armor but was held between two elite Ra Guards. Even if he wasn't still battered from the staff blasts, he wouldn't have been able to wrench his way free their excellent training and enhancements made either one more than a match for Daniel even in his power armor. As he looked up, he saw a seemingly young Egyptian man (more a teenager really) staring down at him with glowing eyes.
"Remove his helmet." The young man coolly commanded in the same language (if slightly different dialect) that the Abydosians spoke.
One of the Ra Guard quickly placed a device on Daniel's helmet before activating it. The device sent out a mix of signals that forced the memory alloy that made up Daniel's helmet to retract exposing his face.
"Tell me slave where are you from? Do not lie to me."
Daniel's mind raced as he struggled to deal with what was happening panic from being captured, the pain of his capture, and his adrenaline starting to fade muddied his thoughts. However, the young man continued to talk almost to himself while Daniel struggled.
"Yu would never be so foolish to armor slaves with such finery or create such monstrosities neither would Baal. Her'ur is too loyal. Apophis and Sokar are to well watched and not desperate enough to try this and Anubis is dead. So, if it is not one of the gods then who? The Tollan are to cowardly as are the Tok'Ra. So, then slave I ask again where are you from?" As he finished, he lifted up his hand and sent a small beam of energy from a device on his hand. Just enough to hurt Daniel a bit without a bit without really damaging him.
As Daniel bit back the pain he said, "We are explorers from a planet called Earth what you once called Tau'ri."
"Tau'ri! I knew I should have turned your world to glass once you first rebelled, but my foolish mercy caused me to stay my hand. Tell me are there more of those monsters on your homeworld?" The young man asked as he started to torture Daniel again.
"Yes, there are thousands, tens of thousands, millions even and you will regret not finishing us off when you had the chance. We have grown stronger since then, we know longer worship false gods like you anymore." Daniel said through the pain.
"Foolish child, do not underestimate the power of the gods!" The young man said while grinning.
As the young man was about to speak again, he was interrupted by a Ra Guard who ran into the Throne Room. "Lord Ra, the Al'Kesh and Death Gliders you sent to secure the pyramid have been destroyed by the large armored demon while the Abydosians have fled underground with the other demons." He reported.
"Oh, an object lesson it seems. Bring up the locations in the throne room be prepared to fire on my command." Ra ordered.
As he laid back into his throne holographic screens showing the two locations appeared. They showed Musashi standing in the crater of the former FOB surrounded by the wreckage of the Al'Kesh and the village with a large hole in the ground that was not there before. Daniel's heart rate spike as he knew what was to come next.
"Behold slave the wrath of the gods. Fire!" Ra ordered as a single blast rocketed down striking Musashi's location while three slammed down on the village.
"No!!!" Daniel screamed futile.
Soon Ra ordered the ship to descend and clean up any survivors.
As the mothership started to come to a rest upon the pyramid Ra spoke to Daniel once more.
"In the end even, your monsters can't withstand the true might of the gods it matters not if there are millions of you. Once I am done here, I shall gather the System Lords and burn your whole world with divine fire from the sky until not even the smallest speck of life remains." As he said that he leaned right in Daniel's face before Daniel spat on him.
He angrily wiped off the spittle before lifting up his hand device on last time and said, "Defiant even to the last? I guess there is some honor even in that." However, before he could activate the device the ship rocked.
"Report, what was that?" Ra demanded.
A panicked voice came through, "M… My Lord the large metal demon he is still alive he is tearing through the ship. Oh gods… he is through he is coming right here… Lord Ra save me!!!" The voice cried out before being silenced.
As the ship continued to shake the Ra Guard in the room started to tremble. Ra noticing this shouted.
"Kree! We need to make our way to the ring room and retreat through the Stargate!" Ra ordered.
Before they could make it far the floor ripped open and a massive hand came through and crushed one of the Ra Guard. Soon a terrible body had pulled itself through the hole. It was more massive than any human could ever be. It was covered in strange metal fused to its body, its skin (where it could be seen) was a hellish red, and it had more exposed bone than any mortal creature could possibly have and still be living. Its face was twisted into something between an angry snarl and bloodthirsty grin, but worst of all where the eyes they were filled with a powerful blue lightning that threatened to tear the world apart. All in all, the figure looked more like a demon than a man. However, despite all of that there was no doubt in Daniel's mind who this was.
"Musashi!" Daniel cried out happy and relieved all at once.

Toshiro Hirata, the Battleship Musashi, was in an immense amount of pain. Though he was in a burning hot glassy hell barely conscious and not at all combat operable by the standards laid out in the Allied warbook. Under normal circumstances he should just fix any major injuries he could and hide somewhere safe. Of course, under normal circumstances he would have never survived a blast from one of the main cannons of a Goa'uld mothership. In fact, it was only thanks to four reasons he was in as good a shape as he was.
- Ra had ordered the pyramid to be preserved from harm so the cannon blasts were set to a lower power setting to avoid damaging the pyramid and were fired at an angle so the blast didn't hit him full on.
- His armor was incredible advanced designed to resist even the matter and energy manipulating abilities of the Halo and he wore armor of a level and amount for a battleship.
- He happened to be facing the direction the blast was coming from and still had his eyes exposed so he fired off a Halo even as the blast approached him causing it to detonate just before it hit him and even deflect some away from him.
- Finally, was the FOB itself some of the material had survived and thinking quickly even as he unleashed his Halo Musashi interposed one of the pieces between him and the blast.
If all four of these factors had not lined up perfectly even a battleship like Musashi would have been dead instantaneously against such a blast. However, according to the doctrines on earth he was still out of the fight.
But Toshiro was not someone who would give up and as he lay in that haze between consciousness and unconsciousness, he saw a ship like a giant pyramid descend from orbit. He heard over the radio from the Colonel what these people where doing to Abydosians to humanity throughout the galaxy and he knew they were responsible for what happened to him. As he thought about all of that he saw Blue. By the standards of earth, he was not fit for combat. By the standards of the rest of the Galaxy he was just shy of invincible.

After Daniel had shout out his designation Musashi glanced over to where he was at. Still being held between two Ra Guards (who were terrified and shaking). Then the next second he appeared right in front of them and covered both their heads with one of his hands. Daniel quickly ducked his head and closed his eyes before hearing a sound like gravel crunching together mixed with a water balloon popping and felt a warm liquid on his head, he knew was blood. His captor's limp bodies fell to the floor and he was finally free. He looked up into Musashi's eyes.
Musashi then told him not unkindly while turning to face the rest of the room, "Doctor I need you to head to the Stargate and report to the General all that has happened, you can exit the ship by following the holes I made through it."
"Musashi wait what about you. Your hurt you need help." Daniel said.
Musashi paused before smiling, "It's ok Doc, I just need to handle the rest here and I will join you afterwards."
Daniel quickly removed the device on his suit allowing his helmet to be reactivated and as he moved to the hole, he saw the Ra Guard start to put staff blast after staff blast all on Musashi to no effect, even as he as he started to approach Ra who had activated some sort of shield. The last thing Daniel saw was Musashi jumping at Ra his eyes blazing. After that all he heard was a scream followed by a loud sound like gravel being crushed mixed with a water ballon popping.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Daniel raced through the ship feeling it shake as Musashi tore it to pieces he quickly found the hole Musashi had tore in the side of it and jumped down to the ground his power armor cushioning the fall, but he was still a little dazed.
He quickly made his way back to the Stargate where he was finally able to activate it and explain the situation to Hammond, who quickly promised reinforcements. Daniel stood and waited and within five minutes the gate activated once more and power armored and heavily armed Enhanced Humans poured from the gate. With reinforcements and the gate finally secured Daniel fainted from the stress of the day's events.
