				The day was hot. Then again, Robin hadn't experienced one day of this summer in Orlando that had been cold. She reached up and scratched at the hat that was perched and pinned on top of her short blonde curls. It was just making her even hotter, causing a bead of sweat to drip down her neck slowly. Her glasses had begun to slip down her nose, and she made a mental note to invest in the contact industry very soon. Working at Universal Studios in the summer was obviously going to be warm and monotonous, and Robin wanted to make it as easy on herself as possible.<br><br>Of course, the Butterbeer stand had been immensely popular all day. The lines had hardly gone down at all. Robin's right arm was getting tired of pulling down the lever to get the golden, icy mixture to pour into the cups of the eager customers. She had had two glasses of the stuff herself to try and cool down, but the relief it gave her was temporary and she hardly had time to drink it anyway. A sigh escaped her as she filled yet another souvenir cup with the sugary beverage. She then transferred it with a falsely cheerful smile to a fat little boy who had already been to the little stand four times that day.<br><br>It was times like these that she had to remember what she was there for. College at the University of Florida was expensive, and the scholarships that were supposed to pay for all of her tuition were hardly covering even half anymore. This job would bring a relatively good amount of money into her possession, and along with what her parents were sending her she might be able to live her junior year comfortably. A more genuine smile touched her lips as she thought of school, and friends, and everything she was working for.<br><br>Suddenly, a strange, foreign thought entered her head. She had been getting these a lot lately; it seemed as though thoughts or images from outside of her were being projected into her mind. Just yesterday, she had seen a credit card that wasn't hers, and the thought seemed tinged with worry. A woman had then stepped up to the front of the line, fidgeting nervously, and had ordered a butterbeer for her daughter. When Robin had run her card, it looked eerily similar to the one she had seen in her mind... And the card had been rejected due to insufficient funds. These things had been happening for two years now, but only recently they had begun to increase in frequency.<br><br>What she saw this time seemed to be a set of two things that seemed odd paired together: a rose and a blue box. Robin's head snapped to the left, and saw perhaps the strangest thing she had ever seen. It was common for people to dress up when traveling to the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter," but usually they were wearing some garb that pertained to the book series upon which the park was based. This man, however... He was wearing a strange coat-type thing (which she couldn't imagine wearing in this heat), some pants rolled up to his knees, a bolo tie, and sandals. His hair was a sandy blonde and it fell to almost his shoulders. He looked young, perhaps in his thirties... But then he looked toward Robin and she gasped. His golden eyes seemed old, timeless, and sad. So sad and ageless that she couldn't help but stare and wonder at the things this man had seen.<br><br>"Um... Miss..." A voice from behind her had spoken, and her focus returned to the task at hand. The butterbeer she had been pouring was overflowing, running all over the cart and her hands. How strange... She hadn't even noticed. She mumbled a curse under her breath and heard a laugh from her left.<br><br>"I guess I'm coming at just the right time," Paul said with a crooked smile. "The heat's getting to your head. We're switching - you've got the sim." The sim was the simulation ride, the one in which the audience "participated" in a Quidditch match. "Be warned though... Thing's been glitching all morning. They'll probably have you in there fixing it, Miss Engineering Major." Paul was the one friend Robin had made at Universal. The rest of the staff seemed stiff and unfriendly to her, so she kept to herself for the most part.<br><br>"Thank you so much," Robin said, giving Paul a quick hug. Her voice had a slightly Southern drawl to it. "I don't care about fixing the ride as long as I'm inside. Let me know if you need anything." And with that, she was off, heading toward the simulator. After a thought, she glanced back toward where the strange man had been a moment earlier. He was gone, seemingly disappeared. Shrugging, Robin arrived at the front entrance and relieved the girl there to check the fast passes.<br><br>Her radio buzzed a few moments later. <br><br>"Robin, we need you in the back," a garbled voice said. She replied her affirmative and walked around to the back of the ride, opening the door and letting the cool air wash over her for a moment. Then she found the engineer, and approached him.<br><br>There was something... Off. She couldn't really tell what it was but she knew that the machinery didn't look right.

				The engineer that Robin approached was named Charlie. He was a plump man with thirty years of engineering experience under his belt and a loving family waiting for him at home. He had been an asset to the company and had worked with them for a long time, so long in fact that it was obvious that he was due for a promotion. <br><br>But, poor Charlie didn't have very long to live, for the creature eating away inside of him was almost done with him and soon he would burn up as it forced itself out of his body.<br><br>He knew this, but still he continued to modify the ride to the creatures instructions. He had tried resisting it, but that just caused terrible pain to erupt inside his skull. There was no use fighting it at all. All he could do was look sad and finish the evil work that creature had set him to do.<br><br>The frown on his face grew even glummer as Robin approached. He had been hoping that he could have made the modifications quickly and installed the strange circuits and glowing orbs without anyone noticing, but he had been too slow and now the poor girl would have to suffer for it.<br><br>"I'm so sorry," He whimpered before he turned towards the girl. "I want you to know how sorry I reall-"<br><br>Charlie burst into blue fire and sparks before he could finish his sentence. Bolts of power arced from his body and hit the machinery behind him. The mechanics burst to life and began to crackle with electricity. The machine whined and roared before metal wires shot out from the simulator at Robin like cobra's.

				She had thrown Charlie a smile as she approached. He was a likable man, plump and kind if a bit quiet. Robin thought that if anyone could have fixed the glitch it would have been Charlie, but she guessed he needed a set of fresh eyes to take a look. As she examined the machinery, she finally found what was wrong. There were... extra parts. Orbs that seemed much too advanced for the type of equipment used on this ride. And wires... They twisted around each other like snakes, almost seeming alive...<br><br>Robin looked at Charlie quizzically and had opened her mouth to ask a question when the older man spoke. <em>Sorry?</em> she thought in puzzlement, moments before he seemed to explode. Instinctively, Robin leapt backward with a shout as the jets of fire shot from his body. As the electricity hit the machinery, it jolted to life, and... There were things reaching toward her. Impossible things. <br><br>Her mouth fell open as the wires stretched menacingly in her direction. Her feet carried her slowly backward, and her mind was whirring and trying to figure out what to do. Noticing a piece of metal pipe lying against the wall to her right, she picked it up and brandished it at her pursuer.<br><br>"Back!" she yelled, feeling absurd. She was yelling at wires, for God's sake. The thing took no heed and instead continued its advance, quickening the pace. Robin whipped her pipe at it and landed a solid smack, and the wires retreated, almost seeming to emit some kind of squeal. <br><br>"Help!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. "Someone please, help!"

				The wires retreated back to the machine like a wounded animal, but then there were some clunking and crackling sounds followed by a big flash of blue light as electricity zigzagged over the circuits. The machine opened like a mouth of jagged metal teeth and larger coils of wire, the size of pythons, began to stretch out again, each one ending with a sparking blue skull of pure power. It was obvious that one touch from the wires would turn Robin to cinders, just like the remains of Charlie, that lay scattered on the ground in various pieces.<br><br>The machine began wailing as the tendrils stretched out. For a moment Robin would swear that she could hear whispering amongst the ungodly noises of the metal nightmare, but as the wires crept closer that thought would no longer matter. Soon she would be engulfed by the wires and every cell in her body would be hit with millions of volts of pure death.<br><br>Just a little closer and it would all be over...<br><br>Robin would see a flash of deep blue and a mop of blonde wavy hair. The strange man from earlier was in front of her with one hand pushing her back and another outstretched before him, holding some odd metal device with a green light bulb on the end of it. The skull wires reared their fearsome heads and let out a screech of outrage.<br><br><em><strong>"DoCtoR...!"</strong></em> they roared with voices louder than thunder, but the man didn't let that stop him from what he was about to do next. He held the device high before him and narrowed his golden eyes on the monsters before shouting....<br><br>"Expecto Patronum!" He pressed a button on the device and it let out a whirring sound that could just be heard over the sparks and clangs. The creatures shrieked as the machine they spawned from began to let out loud bangs like a machine gun. The tendrils writhed in the air, screeching in agony, but the man didn't celebrate his victory. Instead he turned, grabbed Robin by the wrist and ran as fast as he could away from the giant smoking mess.<br><br>"That was amazing!" the man shouting back to Robin, only now would she realise that he was laughing while they ran. "I have wanted to say that for such a long time! Daniel Radcliffe eat your heart out!"

				As the living tendrils of wire came toward her, Robin was certain that she was going to die. She saw her life, short but relatively good, flashing before her in a very quick montage of images, smells, and sounds. At the same time, she saw these horrors advancing, the skulls leering at her almost obscenely. <em>At least it will be fast,</em> she thought, closing her eyes.<br><br>Then, she caught the foreign thought again - a rose and a box. Her eyes flew open to see the man from before whirling in front of her and pushing her back almost roughly. She seemed to hear the wires hiss "<span class="bbc_u"><em><strong>DOCTOR!</strong></em></span>" before... The man pulled out a strange piece of metal and brandished it at the monster. It had some sort of green thing on the end, and Robin felt confused. <br><br>"Expecto Patronum!" The man screamed as he pressed a button on his... thingy. If Robin though she had felt confused before, it was nothing compared to what she felt after he uttered this. The spell, or whatever it was, did seem to work. The things crackled, sputtered, and fell to the floor. Robin opened her mouth to ask a question but was interrupted by the man grabbing her and pulling her along with him. She seemed to be getting interrupted a lot this afternoon.<br><br>Then he was shouting again, about how this was amazing and he'd wanted to say that... Robin did have to admit that she was stunned that the Harry Potter spell had actually <em>done</em> something to the machine... She thought it was perhaps not the words but just the device that had made the monster fall. This man was so... odd... so strange... She wouldn't put it past him to just shout the words for fun. This was evidenced by the fact that he was actually <em>laughing</em> as they ran.<br><br>"Excuse me," she yelled at him, though she didn't slow, "But who the <strong>hell</strong> are you? And what was that thing?"

				The mad man with the bizarre device and an anorak didn't answer at first, he just kept pulling Robin along until eventually they were out in the open, mingling amongst the busy and excited crowds of Universal Studios. He drew to a stop once they were in the clear and leaned on a nearby wall to catch his breath. Sweat was running down his face while he panted heavily, but his bright grin still hadn't disappeared.<br><br>"Wow, when did running get so hard?" he asked between pants before turning to Robin and gazing over her. When he met her eyes he gazed at her in confusion, as if her nose had suddenly turned lime green. The way he stared was a little unsettling. His caramel eyes didn't look so sweet and pleasant when he stared with such intensity, instead they looked molten and angry, but also sad and cold. The look faded and the man let out a heavy sigh before sliding down the wall and taking a seat on the ground.<br><br>"To answer your question that thing was an alien," the man huffed before shrugging. "Nothing much, just a plasmic life form bonded with oxygen-free copper wiring with modified electrical conductors and stabilizers. Its child's play really. Except imagine that the child is a super intelligent alien that is able to fuse with a theme park ride and turn it into a death machine capable of erasing life with one touch."<br><br>He looked up at Robin and gave her a pearly grin that seemed to melt away all the exhaustion and stress that he had worn on his face. The smile was so warm and genuine that it almost seemed to make the day feel a little brighter.<br><br>"I'm the Doctor, Robin. And I'm willing to answer a lot of questions from you that I've asked been asked hundreds of times, but I was wondering if you could answer one for me first," he reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like a leather bound ID. He flipped it open and held it up for the girl to see. "Robin. How on earth did you contact me?" he asked.<br><br>The piece of paper that he held to Robin's face was blank, but most people who gazed at the paper would see the drawing of a rose followed by the words; <em>'Help me Doctor, I'm being attacked in Universal Studios. Robin x'</em>, but Robin barely saw any of that. When she looked at the paper the message flickered in and out of existence, becoming more like a ball of squiggly lines rather than a message.

				Robin had once again started to say something when the man made the comment about running, but this time, it was his stare that interrupted her. His eyes had gone hot, angry, sad, and unsettling all at once. It made her feel as though he was peering into her very mind, trying to unlock some memory. At the same time, his eyes held an ancient grief, one that seemed to say that he was carrying the weight of... not the world, but the universe, on his shoulders. It made Robin sad too, and she had to look away after a moment. <br><br>Then, however, he broke his stare and slid down the wall to sit on the ground. He began to spew some facts about aliens fusing with copper wires... Robin thought about it for a moment and supposed that, <em>were</em> aliens real, it would be logical from a certain standpoint that some of them would be able to fuse themselves into electric wiring. Oxygen-free... It made... Not exactly sense, but it seemed plausible.<br><br>The Doctor. A thrill went through her as he spoke her name. How had he known? They hadn't precisely had time to have introductions, since he had only just whisked her away from an alien that was threatening her life. <br><br><em>"How did you contact me?"</em> It was a strange question; she hadn't been able to really send a letter or something, after all. The man held a paper up for her to look at, but no matter how hard she squinted at it, all it seemed to be was a bunch of squiggly lines. Her eyes narrowed.<br><br>"Very funny," she said, crossing her arms. "I don't know who put you up to this, <em>Doctor,</em> but joke's over. There's a funny thing about that paper - it doesn't say anything. That was a very convincing show back there, I applaud you, but now I think it's time for you to go." Again, the image of the blue box flashed across her vision, and she shook her head in annoyance. Placing her hands on her hips, she stared down at the odd man, wondering why on earth he had played this trick on her.<br><br>"Nice touch with the costume," she added as an afterthought. "You had me convinced for a minute... I've never seen anyone wearing an anorak in the summer. Not even English people."

				"Really?" the Doctor asked with surprise. "The British wear anoraks all the time during the summer. How else are they supposed to keep dry?" he sounded as if he was joking, but it was hard to tell since his attention was now focused on the paper that he held. He stared at it with that same intense confusion before scratching his unshaven chin and glancing up at Robin.<br><br>"Now that's odd..." he said quietly. "I got this message the moment I landed in Florida. All of the circumstances point to you being the one to send it to me." He got to his feet and before Robin could protest, grabbed her head in his hands and began to move it from side to side. "But you can't read the message... you couldn't have sent it to me. If you had sent it to me you would be able to read it, but instead your brain is trying to scrub it out like a dirty spot." He was quiet for a moment as he tilted her head left and right, but eventually he let her head go and grinned that odd pearly grin once again.<br><br>"That's quite interesting... a human with latent telepathic abilities. If you wanted to I bet you could send me a message through the psychic paper, but you don't know what you're capable of yet." The Doctor reached into his pocket and pulled out a new device: an odd set of divining rods with a plus and minus sign etched into each of them. He held them into the air above him and stared blankly at them before smirking and pocketing them again.<br><br>"Well, this has been fun," he said with a grin. "I'm sure you think that you're thinking that I'm so looney man playing a trick on you or you're going doolally from over working yourself, but let me assure you that you're only about..." he stopped to consider what he was about to say, "...two thirds right."

				"Well I know it's wet in the UK, and it is here in Florida too, but I really can't imagine wearing that right now. You have to be all sweat under there." Robin wrinkled her nose at the thought but saw that this "Doctor" wasn't paying attention to anything she was saying. He was looking intently at the strange paper and scratching his chin. Her bright green eyes looked at him quizzically. As much as she wanted to be rid of him, he was... intriguing.<br><br>And then he was grabbing her. Her protestations were met with little response, and no matter how hard he tried to shake her head, his strong hands held it in place. Finally, she huffed a breath and kept still, letting him babble on and on and turn her head in every direction. He let her go after a moment and she rubbed her neck in irritation.<br><br>"If I have neck problems I'm going to sue you," she said, only half-joking. But then the Doctor started saying the strangest things. A human with psychic abilities... Sending a message through the psychic paper... And he produced some new equipment seemingly out of nowhere before looking at them briefly and returning them to his pockets. More nonsense came from him but Robin hardly heard. Her hands were trembling and a horrible sense of foreboding overtook her.<br><br>"Who are you?" she asked again, this time her voice a frightened whisper. "Really, who are you?"

				"The oncoming storm, the destroyer of worlds, the traveler from beyond time, Ka Faraq Gatri, Times Champion..." the Doctor spoke with a bored voice as he rattled off the titles, stuffing his hands in his pockets and wandering around in a circle. He looked so unimpressed by the grand titles that it almost looked annoyed. "I've got too many titles, my birth certificate must be over flowing."<br><br>As the Doctor looked at Robin the boredom disappeared and panic flooded on his face. "Whoa, don't do that! I'm not a bad guy! I swear! I like humans, I like you Robin! You're strange, amazing, incredible and yet still wonderfully normal at the same time. You've got a one of a kind mind yet you still act like a normal human when you're faced with the weird and unexplainable. It's wonderful!"<br><br>His attempt to reassure her was cut short as an alarm blared through the theme park. The Doctor's ears seemed to prick up before he frantically glanced left and right. "Right... that can't be good." He heard a selection of screams coming from all directions, people began rushing past them in terror. "I was right! I love it when that happens," he said cheerfully before rubbing his hands together. <br><br>"Plasmic life form must have repaired the fuses I blew with my sonic screw driver. It's probably growing more powerful by the second and taking over the park bit by bit. I better go deal with that," he began to walk away from Robin, towards the chaos, unperturbed by the screaming families that stormed past him.

				The strange ominous feeling that had overtaken Robin dissipated almost as soon as it came, and her normal, calm demeanor took its place. Oncoming storm? Destroyer of worlds? What was this man talking about? It seemed like a bunch of gibberish to her, especially the blasé way in which he was saying these grandiose titles.<br><br>Then he was... complimenting her? Or insulting her? It seemed to be the two at the same time. Strange and normal, which was it? Once again, Robin was interrupted before she could speak. If the alarm wasn't so terribly frightening, she supposed she would have been annoyed. People were running past, clutching their children tight to their bodies with expressions of fright on their faces.<br><br>Robin knew that she should join them... and yet...<br><br>"Hey!" she called, jogging a little to catch up with the Doctor, "You should have an employee with you. I can't just let you go wandering around with your weird weapon thingies while there's an alarm going off. Besides, I feel like you owe me a few explanations. You say 'humans' like you aren't one yourself. Are you an alien like those things? Are you here to destroy <em>our</em> world? Because if you are I'm going to stop you even though you have that sonic... Thing. I'm not afraid." The words tumbled out of her like a waterfall; she wanted to get it all out before she was interrupted yet again.

				"Of course you're not afraid. You had the chance to run away the moment I started walking towards the people fleeing in terror, but you didn't," he said casually whilst they walked through the crowds of people, the Doctor almost seemed to be skipping along as he dodged and weaved through the terrified tourists. "Instead you've decided to follow the daft man in an anorak into a potentially life threatening situation. You positively ooze not afraidness."<br><br>The Doctor narrowly avoided a tourist dressed from head to toe in Universal Studios merchandise and casually pinched the butter beer he was almost crushing in fright. He drank the odd sweet drink and let out a content sigh. "That hits the spot. They really need to sell this in Korova Moo," he said before offering the drink to Robin. <br><br>"Yes. I am an alien," he said without humor before waggling the golden drink in front of her face. "But, I'm an alien who likes your planet and is offering you butter beer. I think you can take that as a sign that I come in peace."

				It was so odd, but the Doctor's enthusiasm was infectious. Robin found herself almost smiling as they weaved their way through the retreating crowds. It didn't seem to matter that they were heading toward a hostile alien keen on taking their lives with a single touch. All that mattered was that the Doctor was here and she was walking quickly alongside him.<br><br>A laugh escaped her as she watched the strange man grab the Butterbeer from the tourist. She wondered if things were always like this for him... Running all the time, chasing dangerous aliens, talking like a character from some kind of Sci-Fi movie. She got the very distinct feeling that it was. Again she saw the image of the rose and the box.<br><br>Then he was wiggling the Butterbeer in front of her face. For a second, she looked between it and the Doctor, pondering his statements for a moment. Smiling, she took the drink from him and polished it off, depositing it neatly in a garbage can as they passed it.<br><br>"So," she said, "What's the protocol for one's first encounter with an alien?" Giggling madly, she lifted her right hand and gave him the Vulcan salute, spreading her fingers into the recognizable V shape. "Live long and prosper," she said with another laugh. Then something occurred to her and she looked at him ponderously.<br><br>"This might sound like a weird question," she said quietly. "But... Would you happen to have any idea why I keep seeing a rose? And some kind of... blue box? The box says something on it but I can never make it out..."

				"Well, with my species first contact involves a long boring rite of passage with red robes and flags. The flags are nice, but I trip over when I wear robes. I really have no idea how they managed to film Harry Potter without there being some sort of accident. Did they take robe wearing classes or something?" the Doctor aked before giving the nearest Harry Potter attraction a quizzical stare. After a moment of realising that the attraction was not going to answer his question the Doctor turned back to Robin and shrugged. "Personally, for a first greeting I prefer: 'Hi I'm the Doctor it's nice to meet you, care for a cup of tea?'"<br><br>He licked his lips at the thought of tea. Bringing up the hot beverage had obviously made him thirsty again. "You know what, I could go for another one of those butter beers..." he looked about and found a half spilled and slightly trampled cup of the stuff lying on the ground near him. "Yoink!" he said as he picked it up and began to gulp down the slightly dirty drink.<br><br>"A blue box and a rose?" the Doctor asked, only half paying attention as he sipped the sweet drink. "The blue box is easy, but I'll explain later. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait. As for a rose now that's a bit tricky. Can't recall why-"<br><br>The Doctor was interrupted by his own screams as half of his temple suddenly burned with golden light. His free hand clawed savagely at the sudden burning wound on his head, but after a moment he seemed to realise that it wasn't doing any good and instead settled for crying out in agony and clutching the drinks cup in between his hands.<br><br>Inside the Doctors mind memories burned like acid and seared every single one of his brilliant brain cells. Pain was rushing through his veins. The pain of something lost. Something that he had forgotten because of his incomplete regeneration. The memories that would surface every now and again to remind the Doctor of the friends he had lost and blocked out and the memories that would return with fiery heat as his regeneration completed what it had been unable to do.<br><br>"ROSE!" the Doctor roared the moment the golden fire ceased burning from his head. He turned to Robin and pointed accusingly at her, "Rose Tyler! She was lovely and blonde like you and knew how to have fun. Now she's swanning around in the other world with one of my old faces the lucky sod! She was a brave, brilliant girl who absorbed the time vortex and wiped out a whole army with one flick of her finger and I miss her and all the rest of the friends that I've lost!"<br><br>He stopped ranting and stared at Robin with a bewildered look on his face. He was panting heavily and sweat was running down his forehead. He pulled out a piece of ice from the cup and pressed it to his temple. After a few seconds he let out a deep breath and opened his eyes to meet Robin's. <br><br>Now they didn't seem happy, sad, excited or angry, instead they looked old. Too old. The oldest pair of eyes on the face of the earth. A stare that had seen more than Robin could possibly comprehend.<br><br>"I'm sorry. That happens sometimes," he said before turning his back on her and resuming to march towards the disaster area, a cup of butter beer in one hand and the sonic screw driver in the other.

				Robin made a face as the Doctor picked up the cup of Butterbeer and drank from it. That was probably in the hands of some grubby little kid, and who knew how many people had stepped on it? Her thoughts were interrupted, though, as a blaze of pain shot through her own head, causing her to cry out for a second before the pain disappeared altogether, leaving her panting and confused. Then, she looked at the Doctor and gasped in shock.<br><br>He was screaming, yelling, clawing at his head... Something was happening, and Robin had no idea what to do to help him. She placed a hand gently on his arm but she didn't think he even felt it. Nor did she think he heard her shouting at him several times. Soon, though, something else seemed to happen and his eyes flew open. <br><br>As he began shouting about this girl, Rose Tyler, Robin took a bewildered and slightly frightened step back. He was so intense, so strange... And in this moment, with his eyes like molten metal and his voice like white-hot fire, he seemed dangerous as well. In this moment, Robin could see where he got nicknames like the oncoming storm... Or the destroyer of worlds.<br><br>Then he was looking at her, and she felt even more terrified. His golden eyes, usually so full of life and fervor, had changed. They were timeless, ageless, and old. So old... Robin couldn't even fathom how old the Doctor must have been, or the things he must have seen, to have eyes like that. <br><br>After he apologized, he walked off without a backward glance, and Robin stood there in shock for one more moment before jogging again to catch up to him. When she did, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to a stop. Looking up at him a little nervously, she wrapped her arms around his waist and embraced him for a couple of seconds.<br><br>"I'm sorry, Doctor," she said softly. Then, she released him, but grabbed his hand again and pulled him along with her toward the waiting danger.

				The Doctor had been stunned into silence. He had met dozens of extraordinary people that had changed his life and touched his heart in more ways than they would ever know, but this person, this amazing person, had just seen him at his weakest and perhaps his worst, and yet had hugged him despite everything.<br><br>Robin, the little psychic of Florida. How bizarre it all seemed to the Doctor, to know that this girl would be like the others. She too would change his life for better or worse and he would never forget her. At least, he would try his very hardest not to.<br><br>The two of them delve deeper into the park. The flood of frightened people had eased off. Those who remained were either trembling in terror, seeking refuge behind bins and pieces of Harry potter scenery, or were the good people who had stayed behind to help rescue trapped or injured people. <br><br>Humans. No matter where the Doctor went they always impressed him.<br><br>The Doctor and Robin finally came to a stop as they came across what was once a perfect replica of Hogsmede. The streets were empty and most of the buildings were in tatter, their roofs and windows collapsed or slashed to ribbons by the electric whip bodies of the plasmic aliens. Trash covered the streets along with a think layer of black dust.<br><br>"That's unfortunate," the Doctor spoke before putting his sonic screwdriver between his teeth and bending to pick up a handful of the black dust and run it through his fingers. "I was too late to save these people," he spoke after taking the screwdriver out of his mouth. "The creatures reduced them to ash. It was quick, they hardly felt anything, but what they did feel hurt." He huffed angrily before getting to his feet and glancing around the village.<br><br>"What I don't understand is why they're attacking and why here of all places? This is a theme park, it's hardly the centre for the United Nations. They could have inhabited the computer system of the white house or a military base and used all their technology to bring on an age of extinction, but they didn't..."<br><br>The Doctor had began to pace in a circle, his brow furrowed as he began to connect the dots. "This obviously isn't primal instinct, these aliens aren't mindless beasts, they're intelligent and know what they're doing. They don't feed on their victims by electrocuting them, its a simple evil act of murder. That's all it is. So why suddenly declare war on Universal Studios? It doesn't make sense."<br><br>"And do you know what else doesn't make sense?" the Doctor asked Robin, whirling on his feet and marching up to her. "What really doesn't make any sense, in fact what makes no sense at all, is why is it so quiet?" The Doctor asked before raising his screw driver and scanning the green light over the area. Sure enough, the world around them was silent. The only sounds that could be heard were the very distant screams and sirens of oncoming police cars.<br><br>"They've stopped attacking. Why have they done that?" the Doctor asked whilst scratching his fuzzy chin with the end of the sonic screw driver. "Why on earth would they stop their attacks and go into hiding. Unless... unless..." His voice trailed off before he closed his eyes and let a heavy sigh.<br><br>"Unless of course they've stopped attacking because now they've got all the annoying distractions out of the way and have what they really want," the Doctor said wearily before gazing up at the buildings that surrounded them. "This is a trap."<br><br>As if on cue, wire chords shot out of buildings from all directions and twisted into knots. Blue lightning coiled around them, forming not only electric skulls, but a full skeletal body of pulsating power. There were dozens of the creatures forming on the roofs, in the door ways and windows and on the path surrounding them. The monsters screeched and hissed, but kept there distance from the Doctor and Robin.<br><br>Despite the creatures reluctance one thing was for sure. They were surrounded and their was no way out.

				Robin hadn't noticed the Doctor's silence. If she had, it would have seemed odd to her - he had hardly stopped talking since they met. She was distracted by the sight of Paul, who was guiding an elderly woman to the safety of the exit. Sighing in relief, Robin waved to him, and after he showed the woman the exit he jogged over to the pair.<br><br>"Robin, I was so worried!" He said, embracing her. He then noticed the Doctor and gave him a puzzled look. "Who's this?"<br><br>"This is the Doctor," she said, "But I'll have to introduce you two later. For now, you've got to get to the police and tell them it's too dangerous to come inside. Tell them they won't know how to deal with what's happening. I can't explain it to you now, there isn't time, but I'll try later, I promise. The Doctor knows what he's doing and he's going to get us out of here safely. Go now, no questions, go!" Paul gave her a look but complied and ran away, shooting one more glance back at the alien to Robin's left.<br><br>As she looked back at him, she saw that he had began to scan the piles of dust that littered the street. Then he started talking, and as Robin realized what the dust was, she gasped and her hands flew to her mouth. They were <em>people.</em> People who had been killed by this... Plasmic being. A choked sob forced its way from her throat as her eyes flitted from pile to pile. There had to be close to a hundred. A hundred people who wouldn't be going home to their families...<br><br>And then the Doctor stood straight and began to talk. Robin didn't interrupt; she didn't have anything useful to add and so she just listened. As he reached the question of the silence, she realized what he was implying. They were caught in a trap and... And the wires...<br><br>A scream came from Robin as the electricity formed almost humanoid shapes around them. She grasped the Doctor's hand again, tightly.<br><br>"Doctor," she said, her voice shaking, "Doctor, please tell me you have a plan. You seem like a guy who always has a plan. You aren't going to let us die, right?"

				"I don't know," the Doctor answered, but his voice didn't sound like he had given up, rather he sounded angry. Very <strong>very</strong> angry. "I mean killing us is all part of the plan isn't it?" The Doctor asked out loud, spinning on his heel to face every single one of the glowing skeleton's.<br><br>"You've been very busy. You set up the perfect sequence of events to get me here," he wandered up to one of the glowing skeletons and stared into its pulsating eye sockets. "The message in the psychic paper, setting it up to look like it had come from an innocent young woman with psychic potential being conveniently attacked by these electric puppets that you dressed up to look like an invading species. You even slaughtered innocent people for no other reason that to make it look like every other monster attack that I've ever had to deal with. All of it to make me delve a little deeper and wander blindly into a trap."<br><br>The Doctor began walking in a big circle around Robin, keeping the beasts at ay as they edged closer. He made eye contact with every single one of them as he talked, as if proving that not a single one of them could possibly intimidate him. Eventually, he came to a stop in front of Robin and began adjusting the settings on his sonic screwdriver.<br><br>"You set up the perfect cliche," he muttered, bitterly. "And it worked, because until five minutes ago I had forgotten you. Along with everything else I had done with Rose Tyler." <br><br>He rolled the screwdriver in his hand to glare at the small scar of gold fire that was burning from the palm of his hand. Part of his mind was burning in pain as new memories surfaced to join the rest, but he refused to scream. He wouldn't scream in front of the creature that wanted to see him squirm.<br><br>"So come on then!" the Doctor yelled and thrust his arms out to his sides. "You have me! I'm here at your mercy and its time for the masks to come off and for you and me to slug it out! So come on out you cowardly little creature!" <br><br>Something came crashing through one of the windows and flew a few metres ahead of the Doctor and Robin. The copper wire creatures were carrying a replica of the Mirror of Erised, which they placed on the ground carefully before coiling around it and plugging themselves into the back of it like the wires in a computer monitor. <br><br>"Wires...it was so obvious." The Doctor muttered as the mirror's surface shone blue and began to form the image of an old fashioned looking woman with frizzy hair and painted lips, grinning savagely at them with unfathomable hatred.<br><br><em>"Hello, Doctor."</em> The woman spoke in a sickly sweet voice while the skeletal creatures gathered on either side of her mirror, like some sort of nightmarish royal guard. <em>"Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin"</em>

				Robin stood in a trembling silence as the Doctor yelled at the creatures surrounding them. Nothing made any sense to her; apparently they had met before and... this wasn't an invading species? She glanced at the Doctor in confusion before returning her eyes to the crackling, skeletal figures around them. They were terrifying, and Robin wasn't quite sure how her new friend planned to get them out of this situation.<br><br>Suddenly, he called for them to "unmask," and Robin grew even more confused. What could possibly be lurking behind these creatures? Another gasp escaped her as the wires brought forth the Universal version of the Mirror of Erised. This was all so strange, and so seemingly random. As the wires plugged into the back of the mirror, Robin inched behind the Doctor and peeked around his shoulder.<br><br>The screen flashed blue and then the most hateful face Robin had ever seen flickered to life on it. She spoke, and her voice was all honey and poison. Robin whimpered; she couldn't help herself.<br><br>"Doctor," she whispered, clutching the back of his anorak, "What is it?"

				"She's called the Wire," the Doctor growled. "A creature from the planet Hermethica. Her species is able to transform into living plasmic energy and the Wire here decided to use the gift to lead a gang of criminals." The Doctor smirked and took a few steps towards the creature. "But when she got caught they took her physical form away from her and trapped her in energy form to await execution."<br><br>"Luckily for her she was able to escape via a communications broadcast and reach earth in 1953, but she was still trapped in her energy form. So she decided to do a lot of unpleasant things to try and hijack the broadcast of the Queens coronation and sap the brain waves out of twenty million people. All for the sake of manifesting her original form," the Doctor had begun to grin at the Wire, who stared back at him with scorn, the corner of her lips twitching a little in fury. "But that didn't work did it old girl?"<br><br><em>"You interfered with my plans Doctor."</em><br><br>"Too right I did. I sucked you out of the wires and trapped you on a betamax tape," the Doctor replied before taking a few more steps so that he could square up to the villainess. "Goodness knows how you escaped from it. I was sure that if I taped over you then you would be gone forever...so I taped over you with...." his voice trailed off for a moment before he suddenly let out a yell and pointing at her. "With Harry Potter and the chamber of Secrets! It was showing on channel four so I taped over you with it and planned on watching it on a rainy day."<br><br><em>"And that was your mistake Doctor,"</em> the Wire cackled with delight. <em>"My will was strong enough to survive, so I bided my time until you inevitably and foolishly played the tape and escaped through the wiring of the television."</em><br><br>"I always wondered why the TV in my Tardis suddenly went bust."<br><br><em>"I spent a long time regaining my power until eventually I was strong enough to move through the worlds television network and possess an unsuspecting flesh body and force it to move to my will."</em><br><br>"But, the flesh body wouldn't be able to hold a being of pure energy for long, so you followed that impulse that had been planted by merging with the footage of the film and came here to use the theme park as your base of operations. You hopped from body to body, not caring at all how many burned up in the process, until you eventually came across Robin over here and her brilliant mind."<br><br><em>"The girl possessed quite a gift and by now I had been inside enough miserable humans to gain an understanding of how the brains psychic capabilities worked."</em> the Wire explained, her grin growing a little wider. <em>"I deduced that you would almost certainly come running in to save her if she was interesting enough, but just to make sure I included the little Rose picture in case you still harbored some feelings for the delicious little girl."</em><br><br>"This is all terribly clever Wire," the Doctor said with a nod, "You now possess an entire theme park and have used alien technology to boost your powers and gain control over this entire area. You even have the brain power to create your own little minions... but something is out of place here." <br><br>The Doctor began walking in a circle again as he pondered over the problem he was facing. After a few seconds thought he grinned broadly and turned back to the creature. <br><br>"Why haven't you tried to get back your physical body?" he asked slyly. "There are no end of popular television shows in America. Even at it's lowest American Idol rakes in over twenty-six million viewers. You could have merged with the broadcast and drained them all to get your physical form back."<br><br>The Wire now looked as if she had swallowed something sour. Her eyes were burning with even more hatred than before. The Doctor let out a loud laugh and pointed at the mirror before racing up to it and planting his forehead against it so he could stare deep into her artificial eyes. The creatures beside her snarled and reared their crackling bodies, but he didn't back away.<br><br>"You can't can you?!" He asked loudly and grinning at her mockingly. "The damage I dealt to you was far too severe. You can't ever regain your corporeal form no matter what you do and you know that! I wounded you beyond repair!"

				Robin didn't know what to make of any of it. It all seemed far too outlandish, too complicated to be true... How could someone have their "physical form" taken away? It really seemed like that would kill anyone... Even an alien. Though she supposed that everything she'd seen made it obvious that some, if not all, alien life forms had more advanced technology than humans. It was interesting; earlier today she had not even known aliens existed, and now here she was face-to-screen with one.<br><br>How strange.<br><br>After a few comments back and forth between the Doctor and the Wire, Robin stopped paying attention. This all seemed like a movie of some sort; the hero and the villain, hashing out what had happened between them though it actually led to no real purpose. She did, however, catch the compliments (well, she assumed they were compliments) tossed out by both the Doctor and the Wire.<br><br>Looking around, she found herself thinking about what to do to get them out of the park without having to be swept up. She noticed that all of the electric shapes seemed to be connected, and the current was flowing in one direction. Following it with her eyes, she noticed that it was heading in the direction of the simulator. Which happened to be a few yards to the right.<br><br>"Doctor," she said as quietly as she could. "I'm assuming these things have one common energy source, right? The wires are <em>using</em> electricity from other buildings, but their energy adapters are only hooked into one ride generator, right?" A plan was forming, and she sincerely hoped she was right about this.

				"Not now Robin, I'm talking smack with a mirror!" The Doctor called over his shoulder before stepping back from the Wire. "So you're unable to take a physical form and I bet that by now you've hopped around so many bodies that you're starting to come apart aren't you? In fact, even though you've possessed the park, you'll eventually over exert yourself and fall to pieces."<br><br>The Doctor scratched his chin with the sonic screwdriver again and took another step back to gaze over the Wire. Something wasn't adding up.<br><br>"So what's your plan?" He asked. "Now that you have me are you going to use your last moments of life to kill me slowly and painfully with an animatronic puppet? Run me over with a set of roller coaster carts? Hang me above Hogwarts school and use me as a lightning rod?"<br><br><em>"Those are fine idea's Doctor and I will delight in doing them all to you once my plan is complete"</em> the Wire said maliciously. The wire creatures beside her had begun to chuckle, causing them to let sparks fly off their none existent tongues.<br><br>"Well you better do your plan quickly. You've only got a couple of hours left. You wouldn't want to waste any more precious time."<br><br><em>"Oh I have not wasted a second Doctor. The moment I gained control of this wonderful place I put my plan into motion."</em> the Wire spoke with delight. <em>"Do you know how reliant on technology these humans you protect are? Every single one of them spends hours in front of the television or on the internet or on their phones. If they didn't have technology they would cease to exist, so they make sure that almost every country on earth has some means of electricity. Which is why they're perfect prey for my servants."</em><br><br>Now it was the Doctor's turn to look surprised. He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip around his sonic screwdriver. "You didn't..."<br><br><em>"Oh yes I did. I sent out a signal via a communications broadcast to my beloved servants on Hermethica. They are few, but they are still mighty, and soon they'll be here to aid me in conquering your world and slaughtering the humans you love before your eyes. And the very first one we will start with is that girl you have been dragging into so much trouble"</em><br><br>"So that's your perfect plan? You pick a location that I won’t be able to resist. You use what little power you have to send a psychic message to me, posing as a girl with psychic potential. I come running and rescue her and start preparing to prevent an invasion and when it’s too late, you spring your trap and prepare to make me suffer the ultimate defeat in your last pathetic moments of life. You call down your band of renegade plasmic beings, you kill an innocent girl that I cannot possibly save, burn the world I love and finally torture me to death in very creative ways using the theme park you’ve gained control of.”<br><br><em>"Very good you clever boy, but you're forgetting something,"</em> the Wire said before winking at him. <em>"First we'll disarm you."</em><br><br>The Doctor barely had time to cry out as the wire creature that had been creeping up behind him touched his hand and sent an electric shock surging through him. He yelled out in pain and collapsed to his knees, the sonic screwdriver fell from his hands and rolled away, where it was immediately stamped on by one of the creatures and reduced to burnt metal.<br><br><em>"This is my victory Doctor!"</em> The Wire cackled loudly. <em>"Look above you! You will soon see the ship that will bring my servants to me and then you'll watch with desperation as they feed on every life on this ugly little planet! You are helpless! You are unarmed! You have no one to save you! You have nothing to stop me with!"</em>

				Robin rolled her eyes at the Doctor's reply and took it as an affirmative. Anyway, what could her actions do other than get her killed faster? From what the woman in the mirror was saying, these creatures were planning on some drawn-out takeover and torture of the Doctor... but all of their scenarios ended in the death of Robin. So she straightened her posture and put her idea into motion.<br><br>She began walking around the circle of electric creatures, their chuckling faces all focused on the Doctor. Though she knew all of their attention was on her strange companion - he was the important one, of course - she tried to make it look as though she was just inspecting them. The less attention she drew to herself the better. None of them even looked at her. Good.<br><br>Making her way around the circle, she finally reached her true destination. There was a box on the side of the sim ride, inconspicuous and the same color as the wall. It was easily missed if you didn't know to look for it, but Robin did. Inhaling deeply, she closed her eyes and ducked under the "arms" of the electric apparitions, hoping they were still so focused on the Doctor that they wouldn't zap her on the spot.<br><br>As she stepped under, she opened her eyes in relief and huffed out the breath she had been holding. Safe. They hadn't moved one bit. As quietly as she could, Robin snuck to the little metal door and produced a key from her pocket. Slowly and silently, she slid the key into the lock and turned it, and the door opened to reveal a blinking panel and lines of multicolored wires. Thinking back to training, she tried to remember which color the emergency wire was.<br><br>Confidently, she grabbed the blue wire in her hands, she closed her eyes again, offering a silent prayer up to whomever was listening. Then, she jerked her arm back hard, snapping the wire in half.

				The moment the wire came loose Robin was sent hurtling back as lightning surged over the machine and exploded. The wire beasts let out a screech of despair as the power supply the Wire was using to sustain them suddenly lost its juice and drained them of their power. Each of them fell to the ground, their copper wires smoking and their skeletal forms vanishing.<br><br><em>"What is happening! What is happening?!"</em> The Wire screeched as she looked left and right at her dieing soldiers. She could feel her powers weakening away. The boost of strength that the park had given her was now rapidly fading and soon she would be the only thing left. And when that happened, she would be powerless.<br><br>"There are two things you should know," the Doctor groaned as he got to his feet and Dusted off his anorak. "One, don't let me talk for ages. I am up to no good when I talk for ages. When I blabber it gives me or my friend time to be mischievous." he said before reaching into the inside pocket of his coat.<br><br>"Secondly, I am never unarmed," he spoke before pulling out a corked test tube filled with some sort of squirming green plant. The Wire had started screaming as more of her soldiers fell. Her image was flickering as the feedback rattled the screen.<br><br><em>"I can recover Doctor! I can reach out to another part of the park in seconds and find another generator to drain! I will be restored!"</em> the Wire shouted at him, her voice reeking of desperation.<br><br>"I imagine you will, but first here's a little bit of trivia for you," the Doctor spoke cheerfully whilst uncorking the test tube with his teeth and spitting out the cork. "On the planet of Rubnerica they have a seemingly permanent electro dampening field surrounding their world that makes it impossible to create electrical currents and for machinery to work. The residents there seem to believe that its because of the special algae in the water creating the field when they're in extreme cold temperatures, but since they can't create an electric current to test it them haven't discovered if this is true or not."<br><br>The Doctor held up the test tube in one hand and the cup of butter beer and ice that he had been drinking in the other. He grinned like a mad man before asking; "Shall we find out?"<br><br>The Wire let out a cry as he poured the contents of the test tube into the butter beer and thew the cup at the mirror. The moment it hit the glass green foam exploded over its surface and surged outwards like a wave, covering the wires that curled out from the back of the mirror. The crackling of electricity ceased as what was left of the creatures surrounding them became covered in the foam. The Wire screamed feebly as every wire she could have used to escape through became riddled with the gunk.<br><br>"You're doomed," the Doctor spoke solemnly as he watched the image of the frizzy haired woman wail. "Hitting you with the algae after the blue wire got pulled out has crippled you. You have no exit, you can't recharge yourself and very soon you'll short out forever."<br><br>He stepped back and dug his hands into his pockets. Staring at her with the deep intensity that had burned in his eyes earlier that day, only now it didn't seem so blazing. Instead it seemed cold. "And I'm sorry, but after everything you've done... I'm glad."

				Robin was instantly rendered unconscious as the bolt of electricity coursed through her body. It was lucky; the force of her collision with the ground would also have knocked her out, but it would have been a bit more painful. Be that as it may, she would have a multitude of bruises when she awoke. But now, as she lay on the ground in slumber, she dreamed.<br><br>Visions whirled through her head, jagged and disorganized and insane. Giant green monsters with bulbous black eyes. Men, women, and children with gas masks growing out of their faces. Cat-people walking around in a super-advanced hospital. A giant face with tendrils coming out of it, standing in a case filled with smoke. Statues of angels with their hands over their eyes. Strange, dome-shaped metal things with giant studs running down the sides and some sort of plunger sticking out of them. A man laughing, and a drum beat... Boom-boom-boom-boom. Boom-boom-boom-boom.<br><br>Then there were faces. A blonde girl with a brilliant smile and kind eyes. A woman with red hair who claimed to be "the best temp in Chiswick." A black woman with an intelligence and bravery that seemed to radiate from her entire being. Another red-haired girl who had waited for twelve years. Faces that came faster and faster, in a racing slideshow that never seemed to have an end.<br><br>Tears fell from Robin's eyes as the images sped through her head. There seemed to be a sense of melancholy to all of these pictures, as if they had all been left behind... And some had left the Doctor behind... Again the image of the strange blue box floated to the forefront of her thoughts. She could see it clearly now; it said "Police Public Call Box" and had a flashing light on the top. A metallic <em>vworp</em>-type noise emanated from it. Slowly, the door came open, and she was surprised to see that the room contained within was vast, and seemingly infinite if you wandered around inside.<br><br>As she faded back into consciousness, the door of the strange box closed and vanished, and she found herself lying on the ground with a pounding headache. Groaning, she grabbed her head and stood very slowly, making her way toward the Doctor. He had thrown some kind of green substance onto the screen/mirror and was saying he was glad that this Wire would soon be gone.<br><br>"Doctor," Robin said, her voice hoarse. "Is... Is it going away now?"

				"Oh yes, she's done for," the Doctor said, with no enthusiasm. He looked up at the sky and frowned. Dark clouds had begun to gather above high above their heads and thunder began to rumble in the distance. "But that's going to be a problem," the Doctor said before bending down to pick up the remains of his sonic screwdriver. He examined the damage to the tool before putting it in his pocket and casting another glance at the clouds. "The Wire sent out her signal to her gang of criminal power bolts. They're riding a storm ship in order to get here and before you ask, yes a storm ship is a spaceship made out of thunder clouds."<br><br>He straightened his collar and wiped a bit of green foam off his shoulder. "They're going to be a bit peeved when they find out their master got destroyed. And it's going to be difficult to fight them without the algae, it can't survive in this planets the environment has too much nitrogen, carbon-dioxide and pollen in it's atmosphere. I'll need to think of something else to fight them off with."<br><br>A smile started to form on his face, he began to rummage through his pockets and pull out weird tools with glowing lights and rotating parts. Some slightly resembled tools from earth, such as spanners and wrenches, but some were beyond definition. The only thing that seemed relatively normal was a large hammer that he yanked from one pocket. It seemed that his coat contained no end of strange devices.<br><br>"Fighting a cloud isn't too difficult. Although you do get wet, but that's why I chose an anorak over umbrella. It keeps me dry, its stylish and doesn't turn me into a lightning rod," for a moment the Doctor paused and sheepishly scratched the back of his head, as if remembering some old injury. "Never going to make that mistake again."<br><br><em>"Doc...tor..."</em> A crackling whisper suddenly spoke from the wreckage of the mirror. The Doctor looked at the ruins in alarm and raised one of the tools above his head, but before he could do anything a red lightning bolt shot from the mirror's surface and struck Robin in the head.<br><br>"No!" He yelled in despair, dropping everything he was carrying before racing over to Robin and grabbing her head. Red lightning arced around her forehead as what little remained of the Wire nestled inside the poor girls brain. "You get out of there!" the Doctor yelled. "You get out of her head right now!"<br><br><em>"If I do that Doctor then she will die screaming,"</em> the Wire spoke through Robin's lips. Her eyes were glowing with bright blue light and the veins in her face were turning a neon red. The Doctor held on to Robin's shoulder and stared into the her shining eyes helplessly. It was clear that at that moment, he had nothing. He couldn't save her.<br><br>"Whats the point of this?" The Doctor asked with outrage. "You've jumped bodies too many times anyway you'll break apart in minutes and burn up inside her!"<br><br><em>"And you won't be able to save her Doctor."</em> the Wire spoke with delight, but there was an edge of pain to her words, as if speaking was causing her great pain. But, despite any discomfort she still continued to talk. <em>"She will die Doctor and you will forever know that you couldn't save her, no matter how hard you tried. All you could do was watch. Just like last time, I will take away the girl who means so much to you."</em><br><br>The helpless look in his golden eyes began to fade from his face. A new fire began to burn inside them. Something fiercer than anything he had conjured so far. His hands reached up to the sides of Robin's face. Lightning stung and nipped at his fingers, but he didn't show any sign of registering the pain. Slowly, he leaned forwards and pressed his temple to Robin's head.<br><br>"Robin," he spoke slowly. "I want you to listen to me. You are a remarkable girl, do you know that?" he asked with a smile and shut his eyes. "I need you to tell me that you can hear me, because if you can hear me, then you're truly incredible, because that means your strong enough to hear what I'm saying despite how much the Wire doesn't want you to. Answer me Robin."<br><br>The wind around them had quickly picked up. The rumble of thunder was growing louder as the storm clouds grew darker and began to form a swirly mass of air currents and water vapor which spiraled down towards the earth. As the fang of storms began grew closer the rumble of the storm began to sound less like thunder and more like the roar of an engine. Rain began to fall on their heads in heavy drops.

				Robin listened to the Doctor speak, a small smile quirking the corners of her lips. Here was this man... This strange, incredible man. She had met him only a little while ago, and already he had changed her life more than anything ever had before. Whole new worlds seemed to open before her, weird and new and exciting, and infinite. Wonders she had never imagined waited out there, and now she was experiencing just a piece of that.<br><br>It didn't seem to matter that the newest "wonder" that they were about to face was extremely deadly. The Doctor was there, and for some reason it made everything okay. He would get them out of it, Robin was sure. She watched in astonishment as he pulled out tool after tool, strange things both familiar and foreign - and some seeming to come from some distant future. Her eyes widened at some of them. They had deadly-looking barbs or spikes or some sort of reddish liquid inside them. Shaking her head, Robin turned to look at the Doctor's face.<br><br>"A ship made of clouds? That's amazing, it really is," she said with a bewildered laugh, running her hand through her curls. She noticed for the first time that she seemed to have lost her hat. "Also you'll have to tell me about becoming a lightning bolt, it sounds really - " She was cut off by the hissing of the mirror, and as she turned to look at it, a bolt of lightning hit her in the temple.<br><br>Pain course through her body, heat and cold and electricity burning her inside and out. The pain was worse than she'd ever felt. It made every cell in her body rigid and white-hot, and it caused her consciousness to recoil into her brain to hide. She felt the Wire take over her body and could do nothing to stop it. Trying to shout, she realized that she couldn't speak, or hear, or see... Nothing. She was alone in the dark.<br><br><em>Another casualty of the Doctor,</em> the voice of the Wire spoke in her head. <em>Numerous humans have come and gone with the Doctor, little girl. They've all ended up alone in the end. He destroys entire species without a second thought. And now we shall all bear witness as the Doctor comes to his end.</em><br><br><em>No,</em> Robin thought back at it, <em>I've seen some of his memories. He's kind and good and everyone he meets is better off having met him. He only destroys things that are evil or that want to cause the end of the world. Because he knows humans are a race worth saving. And he'll save me, you just wait and see.</em><br><br><em>Silly girl,</em> the voice said scathingly as it receded to speak to the Doctor, <em>nothing can save you now.</em><br><br>Then she truly was alone, scared and hurt and confused. And suddenly, a voice resounded through her head. The Doctor's voice. She couldn't hear it with her ears; it was as though he had a direct link with her mind and was speaking inside her very thoughts.<br><br><em>"Robin, I want you to listen to me. You are a remarkable girl, do you know that? I need you to tell me that you can hear me, because if you can hear me, then you're truly incredible, because that means you're strong enough to hear what I'm saying despite how much the Wire doesn't want you to. Answer me Robin."</em><br><br>She knew she couldn't take control of her own voice at the present, so she focused as hard as she could and tried to send a message back to the Doctor with her mind.<br><br><em>I can hear you, Doctor,</em> she thought as loudly as she could. <em>I know I'm remarkable, but can you please just get me out of here? It's dark... And it hurts.</em> Trying to make jokes always seemed like a good idea in a bad situation, or so Robin thought. <em>I can't die now, you weird man. I have to hear the story about the lightning rod.</em><br><br>The creature inside her mind hissed, and the words it spoke next were audible to both the Doctor and Robin.<br><br>"<em>Not possible!</em>" It screeched, sending another jolt of pain through her head. <em>"How can the girl hear you?"</em>

				"Stop it!" The Doctor barked at the Wire as he felt Robin jerk from another shock. His grip tightened on her head and his closed his eyes tight as he concentrated hard on what to do next. "Robin, I swear that I am going to save you."<br><br><em>"Do not lie to her Doctor. She is doomed, she will be destroyed and you will watch,"</em> the wire snarled and tried to fend the doctor back by sending out a few tendrils of red lightning which lashed at his shoulders and head. <em>"You will fall! You and this weak willed girl! You will fall to the Wire! My will is strong and I will stamp her out and gobble her up!"</em><br><br>"Robin, you're stronger than her," the Doctor spoke softly whilst the tips of his fingers massaged the sides of her head. "You're stronger than a great deal of monsters in this universe. Compared to you the Wire is nothing but a bad dream wrapped in a triple A battery."<br><br><em>"She cannot hear you! I have eliminated her!"</em> the Wire screeched. It had grown dark now. The sun had been blotted out by the clouds and rain was coming down in great sheets. Forks and spears of lightning danced in the vortex of clouds as the ship grew nearer with every passing second.<br><br>"Robin, you need to do something for me," the Doctor spoke calmly. "I want you to push her out of your head. I want you to envision shoving that annoying little spark out of your brain and into mine. I've opened a psychic link between us, this is the only way I can get her out of your body without burning you to cinders."<br><br><em>"If she does that then you will die too Doctor! I'll burn you up with me!"</em> the Wire bellowed, her tendrils lashing at the ground around them, sending lines of fire running across the stone.<br><br>"Trust me Robin," the Doctor said before a warm grin slowly stretched out over his lips. "Let me at her."

				Robin wanted to cry. She had never wanted to cry so very badly in all her life. But with this monster controlling her, she couldn't do it. Not a single tear fell from her eyes, but Robin cried on the inside. The pain was almost too much to bear; she wanted to fade away, as her mind was urging her to do, just let go and let the blackness envelope her. But The Doctor's voice rang through her head again.<br><br><em>I swear that I am going to save you.</em>&nbsp; With those nine words, Robin felt her will returning. She wanted this thing out of her and wanted it out at that moment. The Wire tried to push her back then, but she formed a sort of wall inside her head and it kept it at bay - at least for a moment. <br><br><em>Doctor,</em> Robin thought earnestly, <em>you are the most important man in the universe. I've seen that and I know it. I'm trusting you that you can beat this thing, but if you die, you better hope I can't get ahold of you in the afterlife because I'll kill you again.</em> She tried to think a smile at him then. <br><br>Steeling herself, Robin pushed tentatively back at the creature. It hissed at her and sent another shock through her, but it was definitely weaker than the last. It was failing and it knew it, though there was a sort of strange satisfaction lurking behind its weakened state. <br><br>Hoping the Doctor was ready, Robin heaved with all of her might, pushing the creature through what seemed to be a sort of tunnel. Slowly, so slowly, Robin began getting her senses back. First was smell. The air smelled of ozone and electricity. It was the most wonderful smell in he world. Then came her hearing, and finally, her sight and touch and taste. <br><br>Her head was pounding even worse than before, and her whole body felt like it had been scorched. She would feel the remnants of the pain for days, but she didn't care. It was gone. That was all that mattered. <br><br>Then she remembered the Doctor. Her head snapped to look at him and she took a tentative step in his direction<br><br>"Doctor?" She asked timidly. "Are you there?"

				"You flatter me," he whispered with a smile before bracing himself as Robin prepared to let the monster out. "This is your last chance wire. If I open the connection then you can pass out of her head without burning her up," he spoke softly. "I can store you in a device and save you from shorting out. You'll be imprisoned, but you'll be alive. What do you say?"<br><br><em>"Never!"</em> the Wire screeched and Rose's skin began to glow blue as she summoned what little power she had left to fry the Doctor.<br><br>"So be it," he muttered back and closed his eyes to prepare himself for what was about to happen next...<br><br>Robin pushed. Slowly, a red spark began to emerge from Robin's forehead and push into the Doctor's. It didn't want to go, it writhed and snapped as it tried to break free. The screams of the Wire filled the area as she protested.<br><br><em>"No! I will not have this! I will not have this!"</em> She howled, but no matter what she did, she couldn't break free. She was too weak and Robin was far too strong. <br><br>Her screams stopped. The Doctor stood with his arms by his side. Small surges of red lightning circled his head like a sloppy halo. He was quiet and still. <br><br><em>"Victory..."</em> the Wire whispered before it opened the Doctors eyes, which now burned with the same light as Robin's had mere moments ago. She forced the Doctor to lift his arms and step towards Robin. Her sick grin lit up the Doctor's face. <em>"This is even better than I could hope! I'll use your hands to kill the girl and then I will drag you with me! I will merge with your mind and sear every memory you have and replace them with pain and fire!"</em> he took another step towards Robin. His hands were going for her throat, sparking with red lightning. <em>"I will gobble you up little girl!"</em> the Wire screeched before cackling loudly, her insane laugh carrying on the wind.<br><br>And then she stopped in her tracks.<br><br><em>"What is this?"</em> the Wire asked uneasily, the Doctor's face contorted in confusion. <em>"What is all this...damage?"</em> the Wire asked with growing fear.<br><br>"You wanted in my mind," the Doctor said softly from his own lips. His eyes ceased glowing and became the soft caramel color from before. The smile returned to his face with comforting warmth. "Well here it is. Do you like the place?"<br><br><em>"I don't understand... what are all these cracks?"</em> the Wire whimpered.<br><br>"That's my mind," the Doctor replied. "It didn't used to look like that. It was simpler a while ago. I can't remember when exactly, but I recall it being just the over complicated mind of a Time Lord with it's gaping view of the complexity's of time and space." The Doctor rubbed his forehead and winced as if he had touched a tender spot on a wound. "But at some point in my past my brain got smashed. And now I have this great big complicated ball of thoughts and memories with great big cracks running through it like a broken sheet of glass."<br><br>"And now I'm going to push you through the cracks like flour through a sieve," the Doctor spoke before closing his eyes and breathing in deep. <br><br>The Wire began to scream, but not in pain or anger, this time it was fear. <em>"No! No Doctor! Don't do this! Please, I beg you! Don't do this!"</em> She shrieked. <br><br>"The people you killed didn't have time to beg for their lives. Why should I listen to you?" The Doctor asked coldly. Small red sparks had begun to slowly push out from different sides of the Doctor's head, like pasta out of a machine. Cries of pain echoed through the area as the Doctor began to shred the Wire to pieces.<br><br><em>"Please Doctor, I'll do anything! I beg of you!"</em> The Wire wailed as more strands of power sprouted from his head. <em>"Please... please have mercy on me!"</em><br><br>"I offered you mercy. You turned it down," the Doctor replied, his eyes opened and fists clenched. "Now, I'm going to break you." he snarled before punching his arms out to his sides.<br><br>Red lightning shot from his body in every direction and instantly vanished into the air. The blue flickering image of a shrieking woman flashed over the Doctor's face, before it too cracked and shattered and followed the path of the lightning. The Wire screamed the entire time as her whole essence was ripped to shreds and flung into the atmosphere leaving nothing behind.<br><br>When he was done the Doctor staggered forwards, his body smoking with every step, but he did not fall.

				Robin didn't even have time to contemplate her pain; the Wire had begun to take over the Doctor's body as it had hers. His eyes went red and glowy, and Robin wondered with a shudder if hers had looked the same. She supposed they had. Then the creature started speaking with the Doctor's lips, threatening to take Robin's life... As it staggered toward her using the Doctor's legs, she moved backward at the same pace. Then, however, it stopped.<br><br>The Doctor's mind... damaged? Robin could see now; the broken memories, the distorted thoughts, the pains in his head... It all made sense. But she stopped short when the Doctor's eyes closed and opened again - but this time his normal golden color. He even smiled, and Robin had to return the gesture; she had been very worried that he wouldn't make it out. <br><br><em>At some point in my past my brain got smashed.</em> This made no sense; if someone's brain had been smashed, how would they be able to survive and talk about it? He did say he was something called a Time Lord (another rather grandiose title in Robin's opinion), and perhaps they could survive more damage than a human. But a brain completely smashed...<br><br>Her thoughts were interrupted. A cold light seemed to have taken over the Doctor's eyes. He was going to destroy the creature, though something told Robin that despite the fact it had killed so many people, he was sad about taking its life. It was begging with him, pleading, but he was all fire and ice. Terrifying and beautiful. The oncoming storm; the destroyer of worlds.<br><br>Then lightning pulsed from him, snapping out into the air so close to Robin's face that she had to jump back. A form hovered in front of the Doctor, emitting a terrible scream before it completely vanished, leaving only smoke and a scent of burnt hair behind. A moment of silence passed as Robin looked at the smoking Doctor, in awe of him and horrified by him at the same time. How many times had he done things like this?<br><br>Steel coursed through her veins, however, and she straightened. Even in her immense state of pain, she walked to the Doctor and looked up into his face. All of the cold had gone, leaving only weariness and age in its place. Again, she wrapped her arms around his waist and squeezed him tight.<br><br>"Thank you for saving my life," she whispered, standing on tiptoe to peck his cheek, "And I would love for us to take a victory break right now, since I can hardly move and you seem in about the same shape as me, but um... There's that to worry about." She pointed up to the sky, which had grown ever darker. Lightning was crackling madly through the clouds, and the rain came in drenching sheets.

				The Doctor's eyes fluttered open as Robin embraced him. Another day he would have probably made some smart comment or done something goofy to break the seriousness of the moment, but getting fried on the inside had taken its toll on him. Breaking apart a soul by slamming it through his mind had made his broken memories tingle. He could hear the voices of faces he had forgotten and see shapes of people he didn't remember the name of...and it hurt.<br><br>"Well... that's unfortunate," the Doctor groaned as he watched the vortex of clouds open above them and begin to churn a bolt of lightning within its winds. "I had hopped to prepare for their arrival. It was going to be genius. You would have been really impressed and probably fallen in love with me. It's ok, that happens a lot." He laughed wearily before turning to gather the tools he had dropped from earlier.<br><br>There was a great bang as the clouds above them shot out several bolts of lightning, which struck the ground around them in a circle. In the areas where the lightning struck, stood men and woman, all covered in rags and armor, carrying guns that were oddly shaped and contained glowing blue orbs. They looked reasonably human, except beneath their skin lay glowing red veins and instead of eyes they possessed balls of pure menacing light. The moment they saw the Doctor and Robin, they aimed.<br><br>"I wouldn't," the Doctor called over his shoulder whilst picking up a tool that slightly resembled an electronic drill. "If you attempt to attack us in any way then I'm going to have to treat you like an enemy. You wouldn't want that." He pocketed another tool before standing up and facing their new foes. "You've come to serve your boss, the Wire, well I have bad news for you. She's a bit in pieces, she had an awful shock."<br><br>The Doctor laughed lamely at his own joke. The invaders didn't find it funny. "You're thinking; 'Is this guy with the bad jokes a lunatic? Why don't we just gang up on him?'" The Doctor said, continuing to chuckle despite the glares. "Well the answer to that question is that you just felt what happened to your boss. Before you landed you heard her death scream and experienced the same terror that she felt through her signal beacon. You could have come down in the form of pure energy and fried me and my friend, but instead you armed yourselves because you don't like your odds."<br><br>The Doctor had stopped chuckling and was now walking from alien to alien as he talked. He stared deep into their eyes, the humor in them vanishing to show that same cold expression that he had shown the Wire before her death. "And right you are to doubt your chances. The Wire was ten times more powerful than you, even in her weakest state. She had an iron will allowed her to survive total annihilation, an armada of electric soldiers and horrifying powers that could have chopped me to pieces....and she still couldn't beat me."<br><br>"And to make matters worse, before you landed you no doubt heard all the tales about this planet, this simple, harmless looking planet, and heard the horror stories," the Doctor spoke darkly and for a moment a shudder rippled through the circle of enemies, some began holding their guns a little closer to their chest. "Stories of creatures attempting to take it for their own. You heard how waves of powerful beings, numbering in the millions, swarmed it's skies in an all out war to take the world and they were stopped...by a mad man, the last of his kind." <br><br>"They all stepped up and every single one of them fell. So will you be next?" The aliens were silent. All of them had become rooted to the spot. Their guns pointed at him, but they shook in their grip as fear took a hold of them. After a moments silence one of the aliens asked; <em>"Who are you?"</em><br><br>"I'm the Doctor. Welcome to Earth." The Doctor spoke with the friendliest of smiles. "Now...leave."<br><br>Light flashed before their eyes as the aliens fled without a seconds hesitation. They twisted into their plasmic forms and leaped at their storm ship, burying themselves within the clouds. Some were so desperate to get away that they forgot to transform and flailed helplessly in the air before finally kicking off and shooting up at their ship. Once all of them were inside the clouds rapidly dispersed, revealing sunny skies once more once they had made their rapid exit and escaped the terror that they had left behind.

				Robin simply laughed at his comments about her falling in love with him. Was it even possible to fall for someone like him? Someone who cared so much and yet could kill with such ease? Someone who seemed to be a child, but had wiped out entire races with a flick of his wrist? Someone who looked so young, but had eyes of an impossible age? Robin shivered. He had meant his question to be lighthearted, but it made her think of the humans who had come before her. Had they found a way to love this terrifying, breathtaking man?<br><br>A thrill of fear passed through Robin's body as the clouds above opened and warriors rained down upon them, surrounding them with their horrible eyes and their glowing weapons. She was afraid... However, not as afraid as before. She had seen what this strange Doctor could do, and she knew he would protect her. And if she did die here, she would have died with more of a life than she'd have thought possible.<br><br>Then the Doctor began to speak. Though she was on his side, the words still sent goosebumps up and down her arms.<br><br><em>And to make matters worse, before you landed you heard all the stories about this planet.</em> Robin's hand fluttered to her mouth as more images sped through her mind. Nearly a thousand years worth of pictures, names, thoughts...<br><br><em>This simple, harmless looking planet, and heard of the horror stories.</em> She saw the human faces, young women and men, all ready to fight for their planet and for their Doctor.<br><br><em>Stories of creatures attempt to take it for their own. You heard how waves of powerful beings, numbering in the millions, swarmed its skies in an all out war to take the world and they were stopped...by a mad man, the last of his kind.</em> A single tear dripped down Robin's cheek as she saw the Doctor being locked into a huge box. In her mind, a single word was whispered. <em>Pandorica.</em><br><br><em>They all stepped up and every single one of them fell. So will you be next?</em> This time it was a face she couldn't remember. She had seen it before but when it faded all she knew was that she was scared. <br><br><em>I'm the Doctor. Welcome to Earth. Now...leave.</em> And leave they did. They took off so fast that some of them hit each other on the way up in their frantic escape, trying to get away from this old, strange, sad man. The Earth's loneliest guardian. Robin sank to the ground, sobs pouring uncontrollably from her, tears making tracks down her cheeks.<br><br>"I'm sorry," she said in a choked voice, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I never cry."

				"My dear you almost got killed four times in the last hour and twenty minutes," the Doctor said cheerfully. "If you didn't cry that would just be weird. It's nice to see someone acting normal for a change." He walked over to Robin and pulled out a string of handkerchiefs from his trouser pocket. He knelt down and offered them to the girl with a smile, trying his best not to look too guilty while he helped wipe the tears from her face.<br><br>"It's not a bad thing to cry. Heck, I cried when Bambi's mother got shot, I wept at the end of ET and I was completely inconsolable when Dumbledore died," he grinned at her in an attempt to try and make her smile. "People cry. It's a good thing, even in the worst of times. It shows you care about things. About the people we loose, the gestures that make us happy, the enemies that scare us and the moments when you're so very glad that you got out alive when all seemed hopeless"<br><br>The Doctor could hear the sound of crowds in the distance. The police were finally arriving, after no doubt being held back by protocol as they watched a miniature storm break out in the middle of a theme park. The Doctor could have stuck around to soak up some glory and show off, any other day he felt that might be something he would do, but Robin's tears inspired him to take a different action.<br><br>"Robin. Follow me. I have something to show you," the Doctor spoke before taking her hand and helping her to her feet. "I promise that it'll bring a smile to your face."

				A sad smile creased Robin's face through her tears. This man, this wonderful man, had gone from being the savior of the world to trying to cheer up a normal human, all within the matter of a few seconds. When he mentioned Dumbledore, a strangled laugh bubbled from her and she smiled more widely at him.<br><br>"You big baby," she said, elbowing him in his shin, her voice still wavering. "'The Oncoming Storm,' they call you, and you can't even handle the deaths of fictional characters?" She accepted his hand as he offered it and stood slowly to her feet, wincing as her sore joints protested. "This hurts a lot. I'm going to do my best never to get possessed by a plasmic being again, okay?"<br><br>Her eyes shifted to his face for a second before falling again to look at the ground.<br><br>"You scare me," she whispered quietly, not wanting him to hear her. More loudly, she added, "So, where are we headed?"

				"Oi! Fictional or not they greatly inspired me," the Doctor protested with a cheeky grin. "Why I practically model myself after Dumbledore. Except where he was wise, responsible and modest, I'm wacky, reckless and a gigantic showoff."<br><br>The Doctor's eyes ran over her injured body as he helped her stand. He made a few mental notes to give her proper medical attention once he had the right equipment. Although that would be something he would have to take great care with, he didn't want her to freak when he offered to patch up her wounds with squiggly liquids and odd do-hickeys.<br><br>If the Doctor heard her admit that he scared her, he didn't show it. Instead he just grinned with that same mischievous pearly grin that he had shown her so many times that day and began to lead her away from the ruins of Hogwarts and the black ashes of the dead. He took one last look over his shoulder at the scene before turning back to her and chuckling. <br><br>"Wherever you like."<br><br><div align="center">----</div><br>It was beautiful, foreboding, simple, ridiculous and a great many other things that could not be described, only felt. <br><br>The TARDIS stood proud, bold and blue within the car park of Universal Studios. A gleaming blue police box that looked as if it had been pulled straight from the streets of England from the 1990's. It was a bizarre thing to behold, especially in America, and not one person would be able to make sense of it when they saw it, so instead they steered clear of it. After all, who on earth would want to go near something so weird? <br><br>At least, that was what the Doctor had always believed people thought.<br><br>"I don't believe it!" the Doctor cried as he rushed over to the blue police box and tore several pieces of paper from its doors. He stared at them with dismay before turning to Robin and waggling them in front of her face. "They gave me a ticket! No wait... they gave me four tickets! Four parking tickets! I wasn't even late! How could they do such a thing?!"<br><br>The Doctor frowned before crumpling up the tickets and shoving them into his pocket, grumbling under his breath about how it was the four hundredth he had received and felt it was hardly justified, but soon his complaining ceased and he walked up to his beloved ship with a smile on his face.<br><br>"Go on," he called to Robin from over his shoulder. "Ask the questions you are dieing to ask."<br><br>

				When the blue box came into view, Robin froze. The Doctor hadn't seemed to notice; he was caught up in the tickets that had been posted on the sides of the box. Robin, however, could feel... something. Something that seemed to be calling her from inside that box. It had been in her mind now for so long... At this moment, looking at the box, it felt as though she'd dreamed of this moment since she could remember.<br><br>And that blue. It was the richest, most beautiful blue she had ever seen. The blue of the universe. Another tear leaked from her eye and she wiped it hurriedly from her cheek. <br><br>Then the Doctor walked up to stand beside it proudly, telling her to ask her questions. Slowly, silently, she approached the box and placed a hand on its side, gasping. She could feel a powerful, sentient hum coursing through the contraption, and after a moment she had to pull back from it. Turning to the Doctor, her face split in a sunny smile.<br><br>"Doctor, I've seen this," she said, hugging him excitedly again, "It is so beautiful. It's some sort of ship, right? Like a space ship? And the inside is huge! It's amazing, it's wonderful... It's the best thing I've seen in my entire life. Can I go in?"

				The Doctor's jaw dropped the moment she began spilling all that she knew. For a moment he looked like he had swallowed an ice cube whole or been struck by lightning. Two things that very nearly happened that day. He seemed to make a gulping sound and crossed his arms across his chest, as if trying to hold something in, but whatever he held in he couldn't keep it at bay.<br><br>"Awww Robin, why did you have to be so psychic? I love the bit where they see my spaceship. It's the best part!" he whined and ruffled her hair before kicking the door open with the back of his foot and rolling his eyes. "I suppose you may as well go on in," he muttered childishly, "Didn't even get the goldfish bowl shocked look and the whole breathy amazed, 'It's bigger on the inside!' line."<br><br>The inside of the TARDIS was beyond incredible. The amount of space available inside the big blue box was impossible and had been decorated to look like an odd cross between the cockpit of a space shuttle and the cabin of a pirate ship. Although the floor was made of wood the entire deck was suspended on a bronze metal platform which carried multiple computer consoles, which lay on top of brass pips and pillars of varnished wood.<br><br>In the very centre of the deck lay a giant glass cylinder that went through the floor and reached up to the ceiling above. Inside of it dipped and bobbed glass spirals that were illuminated with yellow light which shined over every inch of the gigantic room. Around its base lay a great console of keyboards, television screens, buttons, levers, switches, cranks, pipes, triggers, wires and many other important looking switches, and hanging down beside it was a rope ladder and a periscope of all things.<br><br>All of this had been crammed into one room, yet it was clear from the ladders hung off the sides of the platform and stairs that curled around its base, that this was only one of many.<br><br>"It's called the TARDIS," the Doctor said with admiration as he stepped past Robin to get into his ship. "She is a ship that can travel through time and space and can do many other wonderful things." He ran and leaped at the console, grabbing hold of the ladder that hung next to it and cheering as he spun round the glowing tube and came swinging to a halt before Robin.<br><br>"And she is absolutely perfect."

				When the Doctor started whining, Robin had to giggle. Playfully, she ducked away from him when he ruffled her hair. She walked past him confidently and into the box, though her eyes did widen along with her smile.<br><br>"Firstly, don't touch my hair. Don't you know how many hours of sweat and humidity it took to make it look this way?" she teased, walking slowly inward a little more. "And secondly, wow. Just wow." Then the Doctor ran in past her, swinging around on the ladder, and Robin smiled yet again. The inside of this place was amazing, impossible, beautiful, and so alien. She ran her hand over the railing next to her, wondering if the material was anything from Earth.<br><br>Slowly, she walked toward the glass cylinder in the middle of the ship. When she reached the edge of the stand that held all the knobs, levers, and buttons, she stopped and contemplated the yellow light coming from within it. Very tentatively, she placed her hand on the outside of the glass. The strange humming started up again, but grew louder and louder, filling up the room with an ancient voice. Then, something even more astonishing happened.<br><br>"<strong>ROBIN,</strong>" the voice boomed, before the humming grew silent and the Doctor and Robin were left to themselves again. Stepping back, Robin put her hands on her hips and faced the Doctor with a smirk.<br><br>"Your TARDIS just spoke to me," she said. Then, she made her eyes go wide in a feigned expression of shock, and raised her hand to cover her mouth. "And oh, look, it's bigger on the inside!" After her little joke, though, she realized something the Doctor had said.<br><br>"It can travel... in time?" she asked, genuinely astonished.

				For the second time that day the Doctor looked at Robin like a miserable kid. A frown like no other hung off his mouth as he looked back and fourth between Robin and the console of the TARDIS.<br><br>"Oh come on girl, that is not fair!" the Doctor quietly whined and ran his hands over the console, flipping switches as if trying to figure out just what had caused such a thing to be possible. "I give you love and affection and you pick her to talk to? She's a yank!"<br><br>The Doctor turned to watch her make her joke and rolled his eyes at her impression. He had now kicked off his shoes and perched onto the console, letting his feet flick at odd nubs and buttons as he listened to Robin ask her question. <br><br>"Guess you don't know everything about the girl after all. My secrets are still safe." the Doctor said before grinning and cart wheeling off the console. He began to tug on chords and press giant buttons, he flipped levers and typed in codes on the keyboards before kicking a steering wheel built into the board, causing it to spin. <br><br>"I can take you anywhere Robin," the Doctor said as the room began to shake. "I can show you how the Tudors lived, I can introduce you to Elvis, I can let you see the wonders that await you in the far distant future and the ground breaking events of the past which shaped it all. I can give you a window into the life of your past presidents, I can take you to see Queen before they lost Freddy or take you to an old fashioned yule ball and you can strut around in a big ridiculous dress and impress all the young gentlemen."<br><br>He stopped flicking switches and leaned on the console before shrugging his shoulders with a smile, "Or if you really wanted to, I can take you to Boston last Tuesday. The weather was nice."

				Robin watched the Doctor tinkering with the controls for a moment, his deft hands flipping switched and turning knobs and pressing buttons seemingly at random. She contemplated what he was saying. Anywhere, any time she wished to go... A wide grin once again appeared on her face as thousands of scenarios raced through her head.<br><br>Then the smile faded. What was she thinking? She had a life, and friends, and school... Family... She couldn't just go running off with some mad alien when she had a completely normal life to get back to. Everyone would be worried, and she would ruin her entire career at the University of Florida - something she had striven for since grade school.<br><br>"Thank you for the offer, Doctor," she said, her voice stiff and a little sad, though she hid it well. "It was an honor meeting you and your TARDIS, she really is lovely. But I have a lot to do here. People to take care of, an education to get... How am I supposed to just leave it all behind?" She turned her eyes away from him, hoping he wouldn't see her sadness. "People have gone with you before and sometimes... They don't come back. And eventually you have to leave them. And I don't know if I can handle that."

				"I think you can," the Doctor replied softly. "In fact, I think you want to handle that." the Doctor said before sliding across the console and perching next to her. His golden eyes meeting hers while his hand took a hold of her own.<br><br>"You have a powerful ability Robin. You can see into minds and hear the thoughts that run through people's heads. Including mine and that's no small feat," the Doctor said and gave her hand a squeeze. "Don't you realise how amazing that is? You've known me for only a few hours, yet you've seen sides to me that takes those who travel with me weeks to discover. You can see parts to me that I've forgotten ever since my brain went..." he mimed a hammer hitting something and blew a raspberry, but didn't let his foolishness stop his speech.<br><br>"You've seen the terrible and the frightening, the hardships and the tears, and yet you don't want it to end." The Doctor stepped out in front of her and took both of her hands, keeping his gaze locked on hers. "A door opens both ways Robin. When we fought the wire and you pushed her into my mind I saw into your head. I saw the desperation you felt. Knowing that you have this gift that you don't fully understand it, along with the strange set of visions that hint at a destiny."<br><br>"Now I'm not sure if I believe in destiny (seriously, I've forgotten) but if I've ever been sure of anything it's that we are meant to fly together Robin. You're meant to be my companion on this journey and perhaps help me put the pieces of my mind back together while I help you understand yours." <br><br>"You're meant to be my companion. My sidekick," he grinned and began to gesture back and fourth between the two of them. "I'm Sherlock Holmes and you're Watson. I'm Frodo and you're Sam. I'm Peter Pan and you're Tinkerbell. I'm Batman and you're..." he paused as he realised the hole he had just dug himself into, "...you're....Alfred?"

				She knew that everything he was saying was true. In her heart, she yearned to see everything he had to offer. New planets, times far in the future or long forgotten, beautiful, dazzling sights that most humans would never get to see. She could almost picture it: The Doctor and Robin, characters written about in legend or folklore, hurtling through the stars together and making sense of each other.<br><br>She wanted it so badly. It scared her.<br><br>At his mention of sidekicks, she barked a laugh. Of course he'd had to change Batman and Robin, but she felt she could get one more jab at him.<br><br>"Yeah, obviously, you'd always be the shining hero, so... That makes me the bumbling sidekick, silly and stupid and always getting into trouble." Her sadness seeped into her smile despite her best efforts this time.<br><br>"I do want it, Doctor," she whispered, hugging her arms around her body tightly as if trying to hold herself together, "I want to travel with you, and help you, and see things... But I'm too scared. I'm getting this horrible feeling, like I'm almost sick or something. I can't pull myself between the worlds, but I can't completely separate myself from this one. I have a normal life!" At this, her voice had risen to almost a shout, though she still could not bring herself to look at the Doctor.<br><br>"You... All of this... You're terrifying! And you're spectacular! And I'll never be able to get it out of my head. But that will have to be enough, because I just can't come with you, Doctor. I can't. It's too much for me."

				The Doctor had turned away from her half way through her speech. He leaned over the control pad of the TARDIS and began to fiddle with the buttons and switches in total silence. Evidently his newest form handled bad news by giving it the silent treatment. <br><br>The TARDIS began to make a strange noise and it's floor rumbled and shook. An odd but yet strangely soothing siren that was difficult to describe was echoing through the room. It was a simple repetitive sound, yet every note sounded like a wonderful intergalactic song. A melody of the universe.<br><br>"I understand," the Doctor spoke to the controls, before turning to look at her over his shoulder. "I understand completely Robin. And the last thing I would want is to force you into something that you don't want to do," he said understandingly, but it was evident from how quietly he said it that he was disappointed.<br><br>He slammed down on a lever and turned to face her. His grin wide and cheeky again, "I'll just have to find some other little lady to seduce and lead off the path. Perhaps someone with longer legs and bigger hips?" he teased before pushing down another lever. The TARDIS let out a clunk before he stopped shaking.<br><br>"You've arrived home Robin," the Doctor said pleasantly before gesturing to the door. "So long and farewell, go in peace, live long and prosper and...oh what the heck, may the force be with you"

				As soon as she had finished talking, Robin felt horrible. She saw the sad look in the Doctor's eyes before he could turn away, and she hated the fact that she was the one who had caused it. However, in her heart, she knew she was making the right decision. All the same, it made her grim and upset to know that she had given up the chance to see the stars, and maybe to make sense of her life.<br><br>When he commented on having to seduce another lady, she had to smile.<br><br>"Yeah, and maybe one whose head isn't so, you know... messed up," she said trying to make a joke of it. Tears were streaming down her cheeks again, but this time they were silent. It was a confusing mixture of grief and joy that caused them. Grief at the fact that she was leaving this place, and joy at the man, the strange man before her, and his wonderful machine. The sound coming from the TARDIS filled her heart with longing. It was the sound of sights unseen and times yet to come.<br><br>When he told her she was home, Robin sighed and walked toward the door. Before she opened it, she looked back at him, stooped over the controls. A soft smile touched her lips and she turned and walked toward him. At the last minute, she jumped at him, knowing he would catch her, and planted a kiss squarely on his nose.<br><br>"Good bye, Doctor, and thank you for everything," She said softly as he set her down. "Feel free to come by sometime. I'm a pretty good cook." And with that, she turned again and strode out the door, not looking back again.<br><br>***<br><br>Three days later, life had returned to its usual normal state. Well, beside the fact that half of Universal was blown up and that, therefore, Robin no longer had a job. So there she was, alone in her Orlando apartment, unable to leave until the lease was up in a week. Sighing, she looked out the window. The stars twinkled in their places, inviting and beautiful in the sky. She found herself wondering if the Doctor was out there somewhere, destroying worlds or seducing young women. She had to smile, as it seemed so likely.<br><br>Then a knock came at her door and her head whipped around, wondering who it could be. Her smile grew wider as the absurd thought of the Doctor erupted in her mind, and she nearly ran to the door. Then she flung it open, beaming, to see the most horrifying sight in her life. <br><br>A huge green monster (<em>alien,</em> she told herself) stood outside her door, its bulging black eyes staring at her from above the doorframe. It wore a belt around its middle. She had seen this before... In the Doctor's memories... Suddenly, the thing grabbed her and lifted her. It held some sort of scanner in front of her face until it beeped. Then, a garbled voice came from it, and she wondered how she could understand it.<br><br>"Human female. Robin Alice Baker, aged twenty-one Earth years, known companion of the Doctor." It began to carry her, and she screamed, but it plunged a syringe into her leg as it hauled her away. She felt herself fading, fading fast, and in her last moments of consciousness, she focused all of her energy and sent out a message.<br><br><em><strong>Doctor. Help.</strong></em>

				The Doctor had many important women in his life, as far as he could remember. Although the amnesia had taken away most of their names and faces, there seemed to be one name that stuck around no matter how much he tried to get rid of. One face that kept showing up, just to torment him.<br><br>"It's rare for you to ask me out on a date Sweetie," River Song spoke in her sly sweet voice. Her ruby lips fixed in that smile that just screamed that she was up to no good. This woman was too special to forget, despite everything that had happened to his head. It seemed that he would always remember the mischevious archeologist that had caused him so much trouble. <br><br>Other girls before her had met the Doctor and then somewhere down the line left him or been lost to unfortunate events. River was different, he had met her right after she had experienced a life time of adventures by the side of his future forms. In a way, he lived through her adventure in the opposite order to her.<br><br>"So what do I owe this genuine pleasure?" She asked, brushing strands fo blonde frizzy hair from her face as she sipped her coffee, freshly prepared from <em>Caffe Quadri</em>, a pleasant little place in Venice that had presumably been serving coffee since the 1600s. Which turned out to be quite accurate seeing as how the Doctor had taken her to its first opening. "Have you really missed me that much?"<br><br>"Of course I have. There's been no one in the TARDIS telling me I'm flying it wrong," the Doctor said with a grunt before picking up his own coffee and sipping it, before immediately pulling a face. "Knew I should have asked for tea. This new tongue of mine hates coffee."<br><br>"You're avoiding my question Doctor," River said pointedly, stroking up his leg with the tip of her high heel.<br><br>"There's no mystery to it River," the Doctor replied, shuffling back to avoid her man hungry leg. "I said to a friend of mine that I would find someone to hang around with that had longer legs and bigger hips than her and I immediately thought of you."<br><br>"And there I thought all you noticed were my eyes," River tittered before putting down her coffee and leaning forward on her elbows. "But, it isn't me you really want to hang about with, is it Doctor?"<br><br>"I don't know," he replied with a shrug before pouring the rest of his coffee on the ground, earning a few stares from some of the other customers. "I'm not too sure of anything any more," he admitted with a look of helplessness. "I've forgotten all the important bits that made me what I am. Every time I regenerate I always feel like I loose a part of myself, but this time I feel more empty than I ever have."<br><br>"It's not like you to sound so defeated."<br><br>"River, after over one thousand years of dying of old age, being ordered to die, getting irradiated, falling off satellite dishes, being poisoned, having my head bashed in, getting shot then cut open and goodness knows what else, you grow to see being killed not as a defeat but as a pit stop," the Doctor stared into the bottom of his empty mug with a frown. "But this time someone or something sucker punched me. They took from me what I always thought I would keep. I've lost and I don't know how," he muttered before frowning.<br><br>"Oh do stop moaning, you're not handsome when you're glum" River groaned, rolling her eyes. "Why don't you just pick up some pretty thing and take them on a journey? Have them follow you around with puppy dog eyes and make you feel like you're not an old man anymore?"<br><br>"I tried that. I got rejected," the Doctor replied.<br><br>"And I'm your rebound girl?" River asked sharply.<br><br>"Oh don't start I've seen enough angry women these last few weeks," the Doctor sighed before looking to his left as a waiter approached their table.<br><br>"Excuse me sir, it is time that you paid for your beverages," the waiter spoke, looking at the unusual couple as if unsure whether to call the city guard on them or run in terror.<br><br>The Doctor merely sighed and pulled out his psychic paper but frusting it in the poor mans face. "I'm sorry my good man but I am the King of Italy and these drinks are on the house"<br><br>The waiter stared at the papaer with a baffled expression and then cleared his throat before saying; "Sir, that paper says, help me Doctor" <br><br>The Doctor's face changed several times between fear, alarm, joy, anger and excitement. He jumped to his feet and cluched the psychic paper like a golden ticket. "I've got to go"<br><br>"I know," River said with a smile before waving him away. "Go be brave and dashing"<br><br>"I am rather brave and dashing, aren't I?" He laughed, his attitude rapidly improving by the second. "Do you want me to take you back now or pick you up later?" he asked, but River shook her head.<br><br>"I'll get a lift from someone. I've heard there's a very interesting soldier in town whose willing to show a girl good time," River spoke before winking at the Doctor. "And I do like a daredevil, especially if they're dressed in a nice coat."<br><br>"Are you trying to make me jealous?" he asked, tearing his eyes away from the paper for just a second to glance at her.<br><br>"Is it working?" She asked with a grin.<br><br>"Goodbye River," he spoke before rushing out of the cafe, nearly bowling over the waiter and anyone unfortunate enough to get in the way of the strange man holding a piece of paper in front of his face as he ran full pelt down the road.<br><br>"Message recieved Robin," the Doctor said as he skidded down an alley way and crashed into the doors of the TARDIS to force them open. "I'm on my way."

				When Robin woke up, she found herself strapped to a chair and unable to move. She yanked her arms against the restraints, shouting and pulling with all of her might. <br><br>"Hello!" She yelled, her voice cracking with strain. "Where am I? Who are you? Hello!" As though summoned by her racket, six of the hideous green creatures walked, single-file, into the room. They stood anywhere between seven and nine feet tall, their green skin looked wet, and their black eyes had some sort of mad evil glinting in them.<br><br>After the monsters came an obese human, who came to stand in front of Robin with a smile on his face. She allowed herself to be relieved at this; surely a human meant no harm to her. Maybe they just needed the Doctor's help and knew she could call him.<br><br>"Hello, Robin," the man said before letting out a powerful burp. "Oh, excuse me," he laughed, "That happens a lot."<br><br>"Um, hello," Robin said, looking at him warily. Something was off; she just couldn't put her finger on it. "Why do you have me tied up? You're human... You aren't going to hurt me, are you?"<br><br>The creatures shared an uproarious laugh, and the human man joined in. <br><br>"Well, this body is human, but I'm afraid I've... borrowed it," he said with a wink. "My name is Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen, and these are some of my brothers and sisters," he added, gesturing to the huge monsters. "I thought that perhaps you would be more willing to talk to a more... familiar form. And no, we do not intend to harm you, unless you won't cooperate. Then I'm sorry to say it may get a little messy."<br><br>Robin had to stare for a moment. How could something so huge fit inside a human body - even one as big as the one the creature had "borrowed?" And she shivered to think about what had happened to the body's former occupant...<br><br>"We seek the location of the Doctor," he went on, studying his fingernails pompously. "We know you are a companion of his. Just tell us where he is and you can be on your way."<br><br>"I'm not his companion," Robin said stubbornly. "He asked me to be, but I told him no. I have no idea where he is. And even if I did I wouldn't tell you." The thing gave her a grim look, and then gestured to one of his "family" members, who promptly left the room.<br><br>"Ah, another loyal subject of the Doctor's," he said, almost sadly. "Don't you know what happens to his companions? They get hurt. Or they die. Or he leaves them. It never ends well, girl. And I'm afraid that your story will be ending now should you continue not telling us what you know."<br><br>The Slitheen that had left the room now reentered, carrying some strange metal device. It was wishbone-shaped, with two bulbous green orbs on the ends. The thing brought it to its brother in the human body, who took it carefully into his hands. He saw Robin's curious, fearful look and smiled widely.<br><br>"This is a memory extractor," he said, placing the green orbs on her temples. "It's quite painful, and a side effect is leaving a permanent scar diagonally across the face. It's unfortunate, really, but we can't seem to find away to get rid of that. At any rate, I doubt you'll be worrying about forever, since I don't see your life lasting too much longer. But before we dispatch you, we'll get the Doctor's location out of you by force."<br><br>Robin's breathing grew fast as he placed his fingers on a button on the side and grinned at her. Then he pressed it, and Robin screamed so loudly that she couldn't scream again; only a raspy moan could be heard as the electricity coursed through her. She thought it had hurt when the Wire had been inside her, but it was nothing compared to this. Her brain felt as though it was being turned to mush, and she could feel the white-hot line traveling down her face at a slant.<br><br>"Ah, there's the scar," the thing said in a voice that seemed very faint. "A pity on such a nice human face."

				The Slitheen chuckled maliciously at the poor girls agony. They jeered and applauded their work with the same enthusiasm that a group of businessmen would have over securing a deal. Their vile attitude would disgust anyone, human or alien....but it didn't last.<br><br>That wonderful sound began to fill the room, the musical roar of the TARDIS. The Slitheen's laughter died and they let out a cry of alarm as the only doorway out of the room suddenly became blocked by the big blue police box that gradually materialized out of nothing. The door of the TARDIS flung open and from out of it appeared the rough grinning face of the blonde haired Time Lord known as the Doctor.<br><br>He flashed his smile at every Slitheen in the room before asking cheekily, "Did someone call for a Doctor?"<br><br>There was silence as the terrible line sank in. The Doctor seemed to rock back fourth awkwardly on his heels for a moment before he sighed and shook his head, "Okay, that was awful. Let me try that again."<br><br>He closed the door and left them standing in silence for a few seconds before opening the door again and darting out wit his coat held up to his face like a cape, "I am the night, beware villains for the time of reckoning has- I'll come in again."<br><br>The door closed and opened again after a few more seconds of awkward and bewildered silence. The Doctor strolled in with a cocky strut, looking from one Slitheen to the other as he made his entrance. He put his hands on his hips, turned to the crowd and with as much pride as he could muster said, "I can't think of anything."<br><br>He let out a roar of frustration before darting back into the TARDIS. Not even a second past before he jumped out with his sonic screwdriver raised, "Hello I'm the Doctor basically run and if we're on Earth then leave because it's defended. I don't know why I'm having trouble with this entrance because usually I'm amazing at them, but if we could just move along to the bit where you surrender that would be fantastic."<br><br>The Doctor smiled hopefully at the aliens and for a moment was tempted to make another joke... but then his eyes eyes landed on Robin and the scar that ran across her face.<br><br>The smile evaporated.<br><br>"How dare you," he whispered. Every word laced with violence as he stared at the scar that had sliced across the unblemished face of the girl he had wanted to share the universe with.

				The pain had completely knocked Robin unconscious. And as she slept, she got no reprieve from the pain. It was total agony, even in her sleeping mind. Weeping as she tried to run away from it, she traveled down seldom-used corridors in her brain, almost as if she was in a large building filled with unopened, dusty rooms. But try as she might, she couldn't wrench the doors open.<br><br>And the pain found her no matter which way she ran.<br><br>Suddenly, though, it vanished, and Robin found herself coughing her way back into consciousness. Her eyes flew open and immediately locked onto the Doctor. She tried her hardest to smile at him - she really wanted to - but her face felt as though it was on fire and movement was too painful to bear. A moan came from her, soft and low and hoarse.<br><br>On top of the pain in her face, her head felt like it was going to explode. With every heartbeat it pounded mercilessly, the pain never dulling. She wondered if she would ever stop feeling this way.<br><br>"How dare you," the Doctor whispered, and through her pain, Robin almost felt sorry for the Slitheen. They probably had no idea what they were in for. They were all hissing at him, their horrible faces contorted in anger and fear. The man who had been speaking to Robin lifted a hand to his forehead and began to... unzip his skin. He then pushed it down and kicked it off like a pair of pants.<br><br>"Doctor," he growled, standing at a good nine and a half feet tall, "We were looking for you. This girl would not tell us where you went, so we extracted her memories. She is interesting, I will give her that. But now that we have you, we have no more need for her. You've come to your death, Time Lord." The Slitheen pulled out guns and other weapons of various sizes, shapes, and materials. <br><br>And they were all pointing them at the Doctor.

				<strong>"Who gave you permission to speak,"</strong> the Doctor growled through gritted teeth, his fists clenched as cold fury pumped through his veins. He had never looked so angry, his body shook with rage, his nose wrinkle in a feral snarl, his eyes were burning with fury and his face was red from the anger shooting through him.<br><br>The guns didn't matter. Being out numbered didn't matter. Being faced with humongous green aliens didn't matter. All that mattered was what was going to happen next.<br><br>He slowly reached into the inside pockets of his anorak. One hand pulled out a bottle of dark liquid, the other pulled out what looked like a packet of mints.<br><br>"I'm going to give you one chance to let me have Robin and take her to the TARDIS," the Doctor spoke slowly. "You're not going to survive the next few minutes. If you let me take her to the TARDIS, I'll make it seconds."

				It was amazing, the reaction he garnered from even the most terrifying of creatures. It seemed as though all he needed to do was speak and they cowered before him, shrinking in terror. The Slitheen lowered their weapons a little, looking ponderously at him. It seemed impossible, for him to win against all of these weapons. They considered for a moment.<br><br>Then, the leader spoke up again.<br><br>"You massacred our family, Doctor," he said, anger permeating his own voice. "You rounded them up and blew them to pieces. How are we supposed to let you and your little pet go, now that we have them here? I think that we are going to force you to watch her die, and then we'll kill you. Does that sound nice?"<br><br>"No," Robin moaned in a choked voice. The word made her entire body hurt, but she kept speaking. "No, just kill me, let him go." The Slitheen snarled at her, and Korst pointed a finger at her.<br><br>"Silence, stupid human," he growled, "No one needs to hear anything from you."

				"I never said I would be going anywhere," the Doctor spoke as he unscrewed the bottle and popped one of the white pills into it before refastening the cap. "I wanted to take Robin in the TARDIS so that she wouldn't have to see what happened next," he said before shaking up the bottle, the inside of it immediately began to froth and churn. "You tortured my friend. I won't let any of you escape what happens next," he said in a quiet but vengeful voice.<br><br>He pulled out a syringe from his pocket and pierced the bottle before looked straight at Robin and whispering; "Close your eyes."<br><br>The Slitheen took the moment as a signal to fire. Their pudgy fingers pressed down on the triggers, but before a single shot could leave their weapons the Doctor threw the bottle at the ground with all his strength.<br><br>The top of the bottle cap shot off like a rocket and brown foam erupted from bottle, spraying the crowd of fat green aliens as it spun in a circle from the heaps of built up pressure unloading in one great purge.<br><br>Disturbed screams filled the room as the froth covered the creatures. A sizzling sound cutting through the noise as their flesh began to blister and boil. The brown foam was slowly melting them away. Limbs dropped from their bodies and holes opened up in their ugly fat faces.<br><br>"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US?!" One of the Slitheen yelled, pointing at the Doctor with a fat clawed finger, that immediately fell from his hand. <br><br>"Simple science," the Doctor said whilst striding through the crowd of melting aliens. "What you're covered in is the result of a reaction between the potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in Diet Coke and the gelatin and gum arabic in Mentos. I was in America and thought; what not treat yourself and find out if those crazy rumors are true."<br><br>A Slitheen attempted to fire his gun at the Doctor, but his foot gave way as it turned to slush, causing him to miss and fire a burst of laser into the head of a fellow alien that had been flailing behind the Doctor. <br><br>"All this foam is due to an intense chemical reaction between these two products and a little blast of rock salt solution to help speed up the process and maximize the result," the Doctor explained whilst he crossed over to Robin and began undoing the straps that tied her down to the chair. "If you're wonder why the foam is burning holes in you, it's because coke contains acetic acid. And you know full well what it does to you."<br><br>The creatures squealing grew louder as their bodies fell to pieces. The only one left that was still standing was Korst, who seemed to be attempting to curse at the Doctor with half of his mouth missing.<br><br>The Doctor looked back over his shoulder at him. And slowly picked up the memory extractor, that lay amongst the sludge remains of Korst's evil family.<br><br>ooc: My worst nightmare came true.

				Robin tried to close her eyes, but the pain and fear was so great that she found she couldn't. Her expression was terrified, and the agony in her head was apparent in her expression as well. And so she saw every second of the attack on the Slitheen, from start to finish. <br><br>They were screaming and melting. It was the most disgusting thing she had ever witnessed. Their hands fell off, turning into a brownish slush; their eyeballs rolled like 8 balls across the floor; their legs melted and caused them to fall into a puddle of their own waste. <br><br>Then, Korst stood alone, facing the Doctor and still trying to curse him. Robin had been freed, and so she worked on sitting up, though every movement sent a jolt of pain through her entire body. The Doctor was picking something up... The memory extractor. She winced at the sight of it, and realized that the Doctor was planning on using it on the Slitheen. <br><br>Standing with an agonizing lurch, she made her way to the Doctor and placed a hand on his arm, stopping him. <br><br>"No, Doctor," she said, her voice scratchy and raw. "Don't be like them. I've been through it; I don't want anyone else to endure that pain. Not even him. You need to destroy it." Korst looked at her in shock and relief, unable to express his thanks since half of his jaw had dropped off. Robin's legs gave out, but she caught herself on the Doctor's arm and painfully pulled herself back up. Looking at Korst with a cold, accusing stare, she continued. <br><br>"I don't mean that you should leave him alive. Just don't torture him."

				The Doctor's grip was tight around the memory extractor. For a moment it was unclear what he would do as he looked into the empty black eyes of Korst. His hand still shook with rage as he stared down the alien. Deep down the Doctor knew that his rage wasn't just because they had hurt Robin, it was fury born from long forgotten pain. The faces of companions he had lost were surfacing, images were burning inside his mind of those he never been able to save and their final moments.<br><br>He saw a crashing ship, a waitress falling to her death with an ugly cyborg, the dead body of a young woman in a black jacket covered in badges, two young adults crumpling as they were struck down by beams that lit up their whole skeletons, a pretty blonde shot through the heart as she blocked a bullet for a skinny man in blue, and of course the millions of Time Lords that screamed as they fell in the worst war there would ever be.<br><br>The Doctor reached out with the extractor... he was inches from locking it around Korst's head.<br><br>And then he felt Robin's hand on his wrist. He turned and looked at her and saw the pain she was in, but also the determination to save him from stooping to their level. The plea for him to be better than them.<br><br>"Humans," he spoke softly, a grim smile forming on his face. "How do you keep managing to surprise me?" The Doctor asked before throwing the device to the ground and stamping on it until it was nothing more than scraps and wires. He glared at Korst and took a step forwards, "If you manage to survive this you'll probably be disposed of by your own family. You'll be alone and wounded forever. Consider it a well learned lesson, that this is what happens when my enemies try to get through me through my friends."<br><br>"Come on. Let's leave him to his fate," the Doctor spoke before taking her hand and guiding her past Korst, who now seemed to realise that his arms had begun disintegrating rapidly. <br><br>He fumbled for his gun to try and take one last shot at the Doctor. He managed to wrap a fat hand around it and lifted it up to fire at the Doctor as he passed. He pulled down on the trigger, relishing his chance for vengeance, and then watched as the gun exploded in his face.<br><br>"Warned him," the Doctor said with a sigh as he opened the door for Robin. "I warned them all."

				Robin slouched in relief as the Doctor stomped on the memory extractor. It seemed like, if she saw it used, she would feel the pain all over again... But luckily, he'd listened. She was glad. Then, she walked alongside him, moving slowly as it seemed to be a problem using her legs. Fervently, she hoped that she would get over this pain soon. <br><br>Remembering her scar, she reached a shaking hand to her face. Sucking in a big breath, she placed one finger on the angry, puckered line, and cried out loudly. A searing pain had run down the entire length of the scar, making it feel fresh again. Tears poured down her cheeks, and even that was painful. <br><br>Then, the Slitheen tried to shoot the Doctor even though his arms were quickly melting. The gun exploded, and Robin gasped in shock as he exploded with it. This day had been all kinds of hell... But at least now she had her angel to rescue her. A furious blush colored her cheeks and she looked away, wincing and hoping the Doctor hadn't seen it.<br><br>They entered the TARDIS then, and Robin smiled as much as she could through the pain. It felt like coming home. The big room was wonderful - all flashing lights and strange buttons and levers. But as soon as she got through the door, she sank to the ground, curling into a ball and sobbing loudly even though it hurt like crazy.<br><br>"Doctor," she said, her voice shaking, "I can't move. It hurts."

				The Doctor flew at the controls for the TARDIS the moment Robin was safe and hammered the buttons until eventually the TARDIS began to move again and make it's journey through time and space. The less time spent in the area where monsters had interrogated Robin, the better. He was by her side the moment she curled up. He took one of her hands and held it gently in his as he smile down at her.<br><br>"I know, which is why I'm taking you to one of the best hospital's that ever existed," he said to her softly before he placed his hands on either side of her head, "But before we arrive I'm going to put you to sleep and erase every bad memory of the pain." Robin would see the sadness in his eyes as he said the words. Guilt soaked every single one of them. "I am so sorry Robin. I promise that when you're healed and when we've got that scar removed, and I swear we'll find away, I'll vanish. You'll never see me again and no one will ever trouble you."<br><br>He began to rock her head back and fourth in his hands. His mind linked to hers as he began to hypnotize her into a restful sleep. Hopefully she wouldn't fight and would simply let the darkness take her, but for a mind as complex and pain riddled as hers he had no idea if it would work.<br><br>"Just rest Robin. Rest and think of better things than this moment," he whispered softly while the TARDIS sang it's soothing melody while they traveled through the incredible path of time.

				Though Robin had known she was safe the moment she'd heard the sound of the TARDIS materializing in the torture room, she felt much better knowing they were leaving it. She flattened her hand on the time machine's floor and patted it like an old friend, smiling through even through her tears. It was amazing. Incredible. The Doctor, the TARDIS... Everything.<br><br>Then he was kneeling next to her, holding her head gently in his hands. Listening to him and the soothing sound of the TARDIS's engines, she almost let herself drift off, but as she realized what he was saying, her eyes flew open and she fought against the sleep that threatened to overtake her.<br><br>"No," she said in a whisper (the only volume her exhaustion would allow her), "No, no. I don't want to forget. I want my scar. I want to remember every single minute that I'm with you. I want the whole experience - the good, the bad, the amazing, the awful. Because no matter what, I'll know that you always saved me when I needed you. And if I forget this... How will I remember how much you cared?

But I swear if you make me forget, I'll get you. And when we get to this hospital, they can get rid of my pain, and my bruises. But don't let them touch the scar. I want it. Plus," she added with a weary grin, "you'll never lose me in a crowd this way. And I bet that no matter what happens to your brain, you'll never forget this hideous face."<br><br>Starting to let herself drift into sleep, she remembered something else he'd said, and opened her eyes again.<br><br>"And don't you <em>dare</em> leave me," she said sternly, looking at him with an accusing glare. "You are never allowed to leave me again. I've regretted it since the moment I said no, and..." she trailed off, unable to finish, and let herself fall into a deep sleep on the floor of the TARDIS.

				Surprise flickered across his face at her requests. He had expected her to be eager to get rid of the terrible memories and even more eager to get rid of the scar. In the past the Doctor had a lot of moments when humans baffled him to no end, but this time he was left completely stumped. He couldn't understand this woman no matter how hard he tried.<br><br>He felt Robin slump as her body succumbed to the treatment. For a moment his hands didn't leave the sides of her face as he debated going against her wishes and erasing the dreadful memories.<br><br>"You don't need those memories, Robin," he spoke as he softly stroked the scar across her face. "They'll keep you up at night. You'll shiver when you think of them. It'll make you feel angry in the worse of times. You could end up hating yourself the more you think back to those horrible moments. Surely you wouldn't want to remember them when they cause you so much grief?" The Doctor asked, but the moment the words and finished leaving his lips he realised his own hypocrisy. He couldn't remember a lot of terrible moments from his past and he wanted nothing more than to get them back.<br><br>He rose and strode over to the TARDIS console and began to move his fingers over the controls like a pianist. The room shook and spun as the TARDIS changed course and tumbled through space and time to the new destination that he had set.<br><br>"Humans," the Doctor muttered before flicking a switch and swaying on the spot as the TARDIS violently rocked to one side. "When is the day going to arrive when you don't get your flipping way all the time?"<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>Robin awoke in a clean room which seemed to glow with brilliant white light. The light came not from simple light bulbs, screwed into a primitive circuit system, but from giant slabs of glowing tiles that lined the floors, the walls and the ceiling, bathing everything below in a healthy peaceful light.<br><br>She lay, not on a bed, but on a thick grey foam mat, supported by a skeleton of metal which molded it into a comfortable shape around Robin's body. Dangling on either side of this bizarre cradle, were two machines which seemed to constantly adjust beams of blue light that scanned over every part of her body. She was no longer dressed in her own clothes but an ordinary blue medical gown, exactly the same as those on Earth.<br><br>The Doctor was sitting opposite her, reading a newspaper titled <em>The Universal News</em> with a bored look on his face. The seat he sat in was as strange as everything else in the room, for not only was it molded in a weird twisty shape, but it was also hovering a few inches off the ground.<br><br>"This is the S. S. Nightingale," the Doctor called over the top of his newspaper, "An interstellar liner, launched in the year five billion and sixty eight, for the soul purpose of bringing healthcare to every planet in the universe and providing the best medical care possible to it's patients. On board this ship is nearly eight hundred patients, which are all treated by a staff of over two hundred nurses, doctors and medical droids."<br><br>The Doctor tucked the newspaper under his arm and got to his feet before crossing over to Robin and smiling at her warmly. "And yes, medical gowns have still not improved since two thousand and thirteen. They're still the embarrassing, inconvenient things that show off your backside when they the strings undo." <br><br>He reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic container which he held out in front of him with a smile. "I bought you some grapes"

				Robin had been dreaming. Not of the Slitheen, not of the Doctor, but of home. Her parents, and her brother, and their giant bulldog Roland. It was a peaceful dream; everyone was just sitting down and talking like old times, Roland sitting on her feet as usual. It brought a sense of simple joy, a normalcy that had been absent the last few days.<br><br>When she woke up, a small gasp escaped her parted lips. She had never seen anything like this place before. The walls, ceilings, and floors were glowing with some strange yet soothing light, and her body was pillowed atop the strangest bed she had ever been in. And everything seemed to be floating.That was odd. For some reason, everything looked blue, and then she noticed that her body was constantly being scanned by some blue&nbsp; lights above her head.<br><br>Then the realization hit her. Her fingers moved all over her body, checking and double checking. The pain was completely gone. In fact, she had never felt healthier in her life. A smile stretched slowly and cautiously across her lips. There was no pain at all. Raising one finger, she placed it on the scar, and shivered when she felt it. It was surprising that the Doctor had listened to her on that one... But for some reason, she was glad he had.<br><br>The Doctor. As soon as she remembered and looked for him, he began talking from behind his newspaper. <em>The Universal News...</em> She supposed she shouldn't be surprised that something like it existed, but she shook her head in awe. She was aboard a hospital in the future, one that was flying along in space helping people, and she was in one of those embarrassing medical gowns. Her cheeks reddened as she wondered just how much the Doctor had seen.<br><br>Then he was standing over her, smiling warmly and holding some grapes. She took one and placed it in her mouth before biting down warily. It burst in her mouth with so much flavor that her eyes widened in shock. It was amazing. Grabbing a couple more, she sat up experimentally, surprised to not feel any pain whatsoever.<br><br>"Thanks," she said, her voice back to normal volume, "These are great. Now, did I hear you say... the year five billion and sixty eight?"

				"Yup, five billion and sixty eight," the Doctor spoke before plucking a grape and tossing it high into the air before catching it in his mouth. "Earth has spread out amongst the stars and planets and made itself known amongst alien races from far and wide. They've created vast colonies on planets from far corners of the universe and left the old rock behind to burn away, before replacing it with a brand new model."<br><br>The Doctor didn't let her ask any questions about the destruction of Earth, he didn't want to explain the complicated story that usually made his companions feel very depressed. So before Robin could ask another question he shoved three grapes into her mouth before returning to his chair to take a seat.<br><br>He opened the newspaper again and looked over it's pages. A smile began to spread across his face. A strange thing, considering that the head line of the newspaper said; <strong>"Thousands dead in unknown alien attack"</strong>.<br><br>"You know Robin, I don't know what's making me happier," the Doctor said as he gazed over the pages. "Seeing you healed or reading the best news report that has ever been written. I think that seeing you healed is rather nice, because I can tease you about wearing next to nothing, but seeing what's written here...it's just heart warming."

				It made Robin's head spin to think that they were quite so far into the future. Five billion sixty-eight. It hardly seemed necessary to keep track of the one year marks after hitting five billion, but that was her opinion. And he'd said... He'd said the Earth had been destroyed... As she opened her mouth to ask a question, the Doctor shoved some of the delicious grapes in her mouth. <br><br>She scowled at him as she chewed, even though the taste made her want to smile. It was obvious that he was trying to distract her from the subject, but she resolved to remember and ask later. Her scowl deepened as he went on to tease her... At least, she thought it was teasing. <br><br>When he finished speaking, she swallowed the last of the grapes and looked at him accusingly. <br><br>"You do realize that headline says "Thousands die in unknown alien attack," right?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't know what's so amazing about that. Also, thanks so much, I'm glad you care so much for me health after just rescuing me from giant green aliens." She then stuck her tongue out at him&nbsp;

				"Oi, Oi, don't be silly. I care a lot about you're health, but now you're no longer hurt so I can relax a bit. Do me a favor and keep it up," the Doctor said before shuffling his hovering chair a little closer to her and holding up the newspaper. "This article, is the very start of one of the greatest stories in all of time. On a planet called Salo, thousands are suddenly slaughtered by an unknown threat, during a time when most of it's armies are traveling across the universe to lend aid to a distant planet called Facri."<br><br>"Now the armies of Salo are devastated by the loss of so many on the home world and have also become exhausted from aiding the Facri against their enemies. They know that they must help the Facri to rebuild their world before they can make the journey and avenge their people," the Doctor held up the newspaper and grinned broadly as he looked over the pages again. It seemed mad that could smile when the story was so dire. "But then, the Facri, grateful for all that the Salo have done for them, insist that not only should the Salo return to their world, but they should let as many of the Facri aid them in defending their world."<br><br>"Imagine that Robin? An entire race that see's their planet get almost annihilated and they stick by their friends despite knowing they may have to return to battle again, so soon after the last war. It's amazing how heroic acts can surface in the most dreadful of times," the Doctor said before putting the paper back under his arm and gazing at Robin.<br><br>"How do you feel?" He asked softly, concern filling his golden eyes as he ran his eyes over the scar for the hundredth time. "How do you honestly feel?"

				Tears sprang to Robin's eyes as she listened to the Doctor's story. She wondered why she was crying so much; the time she'd broken her leg on a swing set she hadn't even shed one tear, and here she was, choked up at a story about aliens. Maybe it was just "one of those days" that a lot of people seemed to have. Wiping her eyes, she smiled at the Doctor, unaware of how the scar on her face made her left lip droop a little.<br><br>"You're right, Doctor," she said softly. "That is a wonderful story. Thank you for telling me." She reached out a hand and placed it on the Doctor's, giving it a little squeeze. At his next question, she smiled again.<br><br>"I feel great," she said genuinely. "I feel better than ever. Good as new. No pain, nothing. This place is a miracle. And I know I'm horrible to look at, but please don't stare at the scar so much. Your eyes might break." As ever, she made a joke. Serious situations were not her forte, and it usually fell to her to lighten a situation.

				The Doctor grinned broadly and took her hand in his. The smile seemed brighter than the walls of the hospital and more comforting than any of the luxury's that the magical place could offer. It seemed that nothing could break that smile when he truly meant it. The joy he expressed seemed invincible in the face of despair.<br><br>"I haven't even told you the best part of that story yet," the Doctor said, but didn't elaborate on what he meant. Instead he listened to Robin and stroked the palm of her hand with his fingers, carefully and soothingly, as she spoke.<br><br>"You, are not horrible to look at," the Doctor said, once she was done talking, and got to his feet. He began to press buttons on the side of the strange devices that hung around her bed, causing them to fold away before raising the girl to her feet in a slow careful motion. "You are are one of the greatest things in all of creation. Poet's will one day tell of your beauty and children will make up dirty limericks about your figure."<br><br>The Doctor had pulled out a tablet computer from the side of Robin's bed and had begun pressing buttons, seemingly at random. The room began to change color, from white to red and then from red to green before flickering to yellow and then blue.<br><br>"Do you know how I know this Robin?" he asked whilst he fumbled with the technology. "Because, you're going to make histor. You're going to travel with me and we're going to show the universe just how incredible we are." The room had now turned to a shade of blue, the same color as the TARDIS and the walls had become dotted with large black question marks. <br><br>"I'll be that fraction more incredible of course, it's only natural, but don't worry it's not a competition," the Doctor said before tapping a few more buttons, causing the chair behind him to sink into the ground along with the bed.<br><br>"In case you're wondering, which I know you are, I'm checking you out of the hospital," the Doctor said before crossing the room and sliding the tablet computer into a recess that had opened up in it. "This place is so efficient that everything can be done in one room. From scans and inoculations, to diagnosis and operations."<br><br>"Usually the process takes a few hours...but I thought, why not save time and hack the system. That should spare all the fine doctors and nurses some time and effort," he said before turning to Robin and smiling at her. "Are you ready to go?"<br><br>Robin was not ready to go. It was very clear that she was not ready to go. No one dressed in a hospital gown was ready to leave when they were dressed in next to nothing. <br><br>Whether he was winding her up or whether he was just that silly was anyone's guess.

				At the Doctor's compliments, Robin found herself blushing. He was so strange, so obviously alien, and yet... Still completely a man. He knew exactly the things to say to women to make them happy - even if they knew it wasn't true. She smiled, raising a hand to her cheek and feeling the puckered scar again. <em>Beauty... Right,</em> she thought, sticking her tongue out. <em>More like the handsome Doctor and his sidekick with the hacked-up face.</em><br><br>She found herself standing, and she stepped away from the bed carefully, testing her legs. Everything was working perfectly, and a broad grin appeared on her face. She didn't even know the last time she had stood as straight as this, or felt so alive and healthy. Then, she realized that the back of her gown was open and turned quickly, making sure the Doctor had no view.<br><br>"You're just... checking me out? That won't set off some sort of alarm or anything?" The walls were flashing strange colors, making Robin jump each time something else appeared on them. Then he asked her the most absurd question she'd ever heard, and she couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious.<br><br>"Of course I'm not ready," she said, scowling, "I need to put on some real clothes first, if you don't mind."

				"Why? A hospital gown is a fantastic piece of clothing," the Doctor said, sounding a little surprised by her reluctance. "It covers almost enough for you to retain your dignity. It's a nice blue color, perfect for blending in amongst the pastel blue snow of the Izamore mountains. It's a conversation starter, because everyone will want to know what you were in hospital for. It can be used as a garment of seduction by showing off what little it hides and in extreme circumstances can lead to the enemy taking pity on you and letting you go, because otherwise they'll feel bad about killing you after you just got out of hospital."<br><br>The Doctor stared at her expectantly, as if thinking that any moment she might applaud his logic, but when the moment never came he huffed and walked over to the exit of the room with a childish frown, "Fine! We'll get you some clothes. You're old ones were incinerated to protect the hospital from outside infection, but I'm sure they'll be a clothing bay somewhere on this spaceship." <br><br>The Doctor opened the doors to the room and let out one last huff before turning back to Robin. He was about to tell her to follow him, but then something occurred to him that probably should have earned his attention a few moments ago. "Wait, what was that you said about alarms?" he asked.<br><br>Every wall in the room turned bright red and giant warning symbols dotted every tile. A piercing electronic bell rang loud through the room, so loud that it drilled through their heads and filled their brains with noise. The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver, covering one ear with his free hand as he winced in discomfort, before pressing down on the button and unleashing the whirring sound and green glow of the sonic device, which immediately silenced the alarms as the volume rapidly dropped.<br><br>The Doctor opened his mouth to say something clever or make some silly joke, but before he could even begin a hulking figure in thick red armor entered the room and shoved him back, before pointing a very large futuristic rifle in his face. It's armor was sleek and streamline, and bared an odd symbol that seemed to resemble a cat's head, surrounded by intertwining yellow rings. On his head was a large helmet which seemed to mildly resemble the head of a lion.<br><br>"Uh oh," the Doctor said before raising his arms. Several more soldiers had entered the room, each holding a weapon, which was immediately pointed at the Doctor once they came to a stop.<br><br>"Look..." the Doctor began, "I know this looks bad, but let's just get one thing straight." The Doctor spoke calmly before pointing a thumb at Robin. "It was entirely her fault."<br><br>"You are guilty of the attempted kidnapping of one of the S. S. Nightingale's patients. State your name and make your case," one of the red soldiers growled with a strange ferocity in his tone. His armor differed from the others. The finger tips of his gloves were tinted yellow and there was a yellow stripe along the mane of his helmet.<br><br>"My name is the Doctor and I plead innocence on account of she seduced me into kidnapping her," the Doctor replied with a silly grin on his roughly shaven face.

				Throughout the Doctor's rapid speech about hospital gowns, Robin just looked at him with bewilderment. She had never met someone who could go on and on talking, just spitting out nonsense, and still be absolutely amazing and compelling. When he said something about her seducing someone with a hospital gown she had to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Shaking her head, she followed him to the door.<br><br>"Oh well great, thanks," she said, putting her hands behind her in an attempt to cover her rear end. "I'm glad you've finally seen the light. Do I get to wear space clothes? Also, I want to hear the best part of that story." Then, the alarm started, and Robin covered her ears to try and block out the noise. Luckily, the Doctor was able to silence it with the sonic screwdriver, and she stood shocked behind him.<br><br>The soldiers stormed in, intimidating and fierce. Their lions' heads were drawn in severe snarls, and the teeth almost looked real. And then the Doctor was saying it was all her fault.<br><br>"Hey," she muttered, slapping his arm lightly, "You just shut up." The things pushed them toward the center of the room and the leader accused him of kidnapping. She smiled smugly as the Doctor made his protestations, but the scowl returned quickly as he accused her of seduction.<br><br>"There was no seducing," she said to the creatures, exasperation in her voice, "But he isn't taking me against my will. I want to go. I feel all better. Can you let us out please?"

				"The victim will remain silent until the accused has been tried and prosecuted for his crime," the leader of the red lions said as formally as he possibly could, but no matter how hard he tried there was still a feral snarl in his voice. "If you have anything to say then you may do so once the trial is complete."<br><br>"Well, isn't that something?" The Doctor asked Robin, sounding impressed. "Now that is what I call following protocol. This commander seems to know exactly what he's doing, wouldn't you agree Robin? He's following everything to the book and ignoring everything that his gut instinct tells him. Even if the simple answer is staring him in the face."<br><br>"You will be silent," the leader growled and raised his gun. The machine let out an electronic hum as the barrel of the weapon began to glow a fiery red. "You will come with us and you will remain in custody. Any attempt to flee will result in your destruction."<br><br>"Oh that is just fantastic!" The Doctor said with pride. "Listen to him! He is a dedicated soldier, a real keeper of the peace. He won't let anything go to chance. I really am blessed to be arrested by the Claws of Santori, especially when they're so keen on protecting the Nightingale's patients and the VIP on board." The leader lowered his weapon a little at the Doctor's comment. The rest of the soldiers shuffled on the spot.<br><br>"How do you know about the Mistress? Who told you?" The leader asked gruffly, his finger teasing the trigger. It was obvious that he was debating on whether to shoot the Doctor dead on the spot.<br><br>"You did I'm afraid," the Doctor said with a cheeky grin, pointing at the leader with his thumb as he held up hands in surrender. "The claws of Sontari, the devoted guardians of the sick, suddenly wielding advanced weaponry and taking a no nonsense approach to arrests? I've never known the Claws to be as highly strung as the Judoon. The only reason why they would ever be so touchy is if there was someone important on board that they had to protect."<br><br>There was an awkward silence. The leader stared at the Doctor and raised his gun in preparation to take a shot. But then he lowered his weapon and motioned to his fellow soldiers.<br><br>"These two will be taken for extensive questioning. Disarm them both," he growled before the soldiers closed in on the two. Robin had nothing to disarm, so the soldiers simply grabbed her arms and pulled her along, while the Doctor was stripped of his anorak and shoes before being lifted by the guards and dragged out of the room by his shoulders.<br><br>"Stay calm Robin! I have this all under control!" The Doctor called, before letting out a yelp as the soldiers rifled through his trouser pockets and pulled out a fist full of metal devices, odd tools and strange throbbing objects. "I have this less under control Robin. Feel free to panic."

				The conversation was completely lost on Robin. <em>So much for being psychic if I still have no clue what's going on,</em> she thought in annoyance, her fingers tapping against her leg. Usually she wouldn't stay silent if someone told her to, but these things seemed a little too intimidating not to listen. So she stood warily, her eyes flitting from one creature to the next.<br><br>Claws of Santori... Judoon... VIP? Nothing made any sense. The Doctor seemed well-versed in the aliens of the universe, she granted him that. And she sighed as she realized that not even in a hospital would anything go normally with the Doctor. And as the Claws of Santori became agitated at his comments, her eyes narrowed suspiciously.<br><br>Then, of course, they were captured. If the situation wasn't so terrifying, Robin would have rolled her eyes. It was almost worth a laugh, even. She was being grabbed by the stuff of nightmares and dragged along unceremoniously, all with the back of her hospital gown flapping open in the back. And then the Doctor spoke, telling her first not to panic and then that it was okay to panic. A breathy laugh came from her at this.<br><br>"Do you go looking for trouble, Doctor?" she asked wryly as they were pulled along by the aliens. "Do you say, '<em>Ooh, Robin's hurt and needs a hospital, better take her to the one where I can cause the most mischief?</em>' Because it's really getting old now!"

				"Then you're going to get very frustrated with me the more you get to know me," the Doctor called back to her as they were herded out the room and taken down vast corridors. <br><br>The rest of the hospital glowed as brightly as the patient's rooms, which were plentiful to say the least. Every corridor was lined with thick glass doors, each numbered, named and labeled with the patients condition and medical treatment. Occasionally they encountered doctors and nurses, walking urgently about the place with tablet computers and various pieces of medical equipment, only pausing to move out the way of the marching red soldiers and their prisoners. Eventually, after traveling through seemingly endless corridors and elevators, they were led into a dark grey room with large sinister robotic arms lining the walls.<br><br>"The accused will be scanned for medical history and then we will commence interrogation," the leader said before walking over to one of the walls and pulling out a tablet computer from it's surface, much like the Doctor had in Robin's room. He pressed a few buttons with an armored finger and the robotic arms came to life and stretched out their menacing metal fingers, which were covered with drills, hooks and flashing red lights.<br><br>"If I plead guilty can we skip the interrogation?" The Doctor asked timidly. "I think I'm a bit allergic to being tortured. It makes me come out in a terrible rash and I start sneezing. You wouldn't want to get snot on your nice clean floors, would you?" The Doctor was pushed towards the arms. As he stumbled a barrier of light surrounded him, locking into place as the arms began to twist and turn around him, washing him with red light as he his entire anatomy was scanned.<br><br>"Why did you come to this ship?" The leader asked, the more he spoke the more his voice seemed to resemble the low growl of a hungry wild cat.<br><br>"Oh, so we're not going to be tortured? Fantastic!" The Doctor cheered, holding his arms above his head as the robotic arms moved to allow them a better angle to scan his arm pits.<br><br>"You will be tortured if we believe you are lying," the leader snarled, his comrades had sealed the exit to the room and still had their guns out. It was strange that even though they had them at their mercy, they still didn't relax.<br><br>"I was visiting a patient," the Doctor spoke, whilst lifting his foot so that the robotic arm could scan the sole of his feet.<br><br>"Why did you really come to this ship?"<br><br>"I told you I was visiting my friend." <br><br>"You tried to check her out of this hospital without following procedure," the leader snarled, his patience wearing thin.<br><br>"I'm a rebel like that. I don't like waiting," the Doctor said with a shrug causing the leader to let out another snarl of annoyance.<br><br>"Things aren't looking good for you, Doctor. Once we have your full body scan we will be able to take great care in causing as much pain to the most delicate parts of your body. Your suffering will last for a long time, until eventually we have the truth from you," the leader waltzed up to the force and seemed to stare through his visor at the Doctor, as if taking in his prey and savoring every moment. "Pray to Sontari for mercy. Perhaps she will be kind and rid you of your life after a few hours."<br><br>A blaring alarm suddenly came from the robotic arms and they immediately halted their scans. The leader looked up at them, evidently confused, whilst the Doctor looked around him with wonder.<br><br>"Wow, I should really give religion a go. It looks like Sontari's on my side," the Doctor spoke before winking at Robin. "So what's going on mate? If I'm not wrong that sounded like an a warning alarm? Did the computers find something that you're not going to like?"<br><br>The leader let out a grunt before gazing over the tablet computer. He was silent for a moment, but then eventually he turned to his soldiers and ordered them away with a wave of his hand. before turning back to the Doctor and Robin.<br><br>"It appears that our records indicate that your biology is of importance. It says in our data files that should someone with your DNA appear at this station then you must be taken to the mistress," the leader explained, sounding rather bitter about the sudden change of plans. <br><br>"Oh, well that is nice," the Doctor said before looking over at Robin. "Do you hear that Robin? I'm not going to get tortured, you can stop worrying about me now."<br><br>The force field lowered around the Doctor before the leader took the Doctor an Robin by the arm and pulled them together. "Activating transport sequence," the leader announced before yellow light erupted from his body and the world disappeared from before their eyes.<br><br>Solid ground reappeared beneath their feet after a second of falling through endless light the feel of weightlessness. When their eyes refocused they found themselves in a patient's room. However, unlike Robin's room, which had been empty apart from seating and equipment, this room contained a luxury double bad with white silk sheets and pillows and a veil of frilly cotton surrounding it.<br><br>"You will mind your tongue when you speak to the mistress," the leader growled after letting go of their arms.<br><br>"Mind my manners?" The Doctor asked with a little hint of smugness in his voice as he looked around the room. "Whoever we stand in the room with is so important that the only way to get into it is to teleport. This person must be mighty important to have such security. I promise I'll be on my best behavior."<br><br>"Amazing," a soft, weary voice, spoke from behind the curtains. "It has been so long since I have seen you and even though you bare a new face, you still have not ceased your immaturity." The curtains pulled back and for a moment the Doctor stared in surprise at the figure that lay under the sheets.<br><br>She was a thin creature, dressed in white, with a funny crescent hat upon her head. Her entire body was covered with a thin layer of grey fur and although her face bore the eyes and wrinkles of a human, it was shaped with all the physical features of a cat. <br><br>She smiled at them with small pointed teeth and at that moment the Doctor beamed with delight, his eyes wide with astonishment. <br><br>"Novice Harme?" The Doctor exclaimed with a chuckle with disbelief. "What on earth are you doing here?" he asked before turning to Robin and gesturing to the aged feline. "Robin this is Harme, a catkind part of the sister's of plenitude, worshipers of the God, Sontari. A long time ago she helped save all of mankind from being wiped out by a super virus."<br><br>"You will call her by her proper title Doctor" the leader growled, taking a step towards him. "She is Mistress Harme now, high priest of the Sontari faith. Captain of the S. S. Nightingale as well as chief healer and medical supervisor!"

				Robin thought it spoke volumes that no one seemed interested in her opinion. If they would just ask her what the Doctor was doing, she could vouch for him, but of course she was just an insignificant human and her thoughts didn't matter. And so she stayed put, the guards each keeping one hand on her but allowing her to try and cover her backside with her hands.<br><br>She watched him getting scanned with a mixed expression of amusement and fear. The way he held his body at various angles made it seem almost as though he was enjoying the sensation, but all the talk about torture... Well, she didn't want the Doctor to be tortured on <em>her</em> behalf. Then, of course, an alarm started sounding, and she rolled her eyes.<br><br>His DNA was of interest. It really looked as though everyone in the universe knew of the Doctor, and she was really amazed that she had never heard of him before. One day, she'd have to ask him about that. She smiled at his quip, wanting to reply, but she didn't get a chance to. Their captors had gathered them together, and one of them pressed a button. The room disappeared.<br><br>For a moment, a sensation of complete weightlessness overcame Robin, and she felt as though she was either falling or hovering suspended in the air. Luckily, they were soon back on some kind of floor, and she sighed in relief. She didn't think that was her favorite feeling in the world. When the Doctor made the remark about being on his best behavior, Robin smirked.<br><br>"If this is your best behavior, I don't want to see your worst," she whispered, as they were ushered forward. She fell silent, though, as the curtains around the mysterious figure were pulled back. Gasping in shock, Robin had to refrain herself from running closer to get a better look. The woman was a cat, but a human... At the same time. She was old but beautiful, serene and smiling though she was tired.<br><br>And of course, the Doctor knew her. After the Claws had barked at the Doctor to call her by her proper name, Robin smiled at the cat-lady.<br><br>"It's nice to meet you, Mistress Harme," she said softly. Suddenly, a tumble of thoughts and feelings erupted in Robin's mind, and she closed her eyes trying to see them all. They obviously came from Harme, and all of the thoughts were of Sontari and the same giant face that Robin had seen in the Doctor's thoughts, and the feelings were weariness, pain, and... fear.<br><br>"What's wrong?" Robin whispered breathlessly, having to restrain herself again from running to Harme's side.

				"Nothing is wrong. I a quite fine," Harme began, but then a horrid cough forced its way out of her mouth. She gripped her chest with furry fingers and shut her eyes tight as she forced air into her lungs. "Please, do not worry. I am quite all right"<br><br>"No you're not," the Doctor said with a grimace. "You're dying," he said softly before running a hand through his messy hair and groaning. "<em>'What are you doing here?'</em> What a stupid question, you're sick." Harme gave a small smile at the Doctor's words, he frowned at her before taking a step forward and placing his hand on the end of her bed. "Is there anything I can do?"<br><br>"I'm dying of old age Doctor. There isn't anything anyone can do about that," Harme replied before letting out a soft chuckle as the Doctor's frown grew even grimmer. "Hush now, I've lived a long life and my only fear is of the harm my death could cause those who are most important."<br><br>"What do you mean?" the Doctor asked.<br><br>"Your companion is right Doctor. I am afraid, a great deal so," Harme spoke in a strained voice. "Decades ago, when New Earth had elected new leaders and began to rebuild the world, outside help was called in from all corners of the galaxy to help restore civilization. Many have been generous, but some saw our ruined world as an opportunity for profit and have been trying to legally obtain the Earth ever since."<br><br>"The Mistress has been a key member of opposition to any political movement that might rid the Earth of any power or civil rights," Rogan spoke solemnly, every word a small snarl or growl. "There have been many attempts on the Mistresses life. Some of which have been disguised to look like they came from Earth folk and their closest allies. The enemy wants nothing more than a reason to cast suspicion on the Earth being primitive from it's years of confinement and unfit to maintain a working world government."<br><br>"And you've learned of a new plan to assassinate Harme," the Doctor said grimly. "Which is why the Claws are so on edge and why you've ad such strict security."<br><br>"I must die from my condition Doctor. I cannot have my death start a war," Harme said weakly, tears brimming in her old kind eyes. She smiled bitterly and looked away, "It would have been easier if the Face of Boe were here... many worlds trusted his judgement. They were less than pleased to know that someone with a past as dark as mine was helping to restore order."<br><br>"That was the past Harme," the Doctor said before striding over to Robin and wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "Besides, we may not have the big old face, but we do have someone here who shares a thing or two with the fella."<br><br>"Doctor?" Harme asked, tilting her head in confusion as she looked back and fourth between him and Robin.<br><br>"Robin here is the greatest detective in the universe. She'll be able to find your assassin before he or she manages to even step into this room!" The Doctor said cheerfully before clapping Robin on the shoulder. "Trust me. She may be inappropriately dressed but she'll do the job perfectly."

				When the Doctor said that Harme was dying, Robin's hand drifted up to her mouth. She didn't even know the woman, but for some reason her impending death weighed heavily on her mind. Maybe she had just seen too much death lately, and even one more seemed too excessive. Though the cat was dying of old age, it just made Robin sad that they couldn't do anything for her.<br><br>Then they were speaking of plans to purchase the Earth, and assassination attempts on Harme's life. As they spoke, more images floated to the front of Robin's mind... Of spaceships, something called "Bliss," skeletons, some man in a long coat who had spiky hair, and that face, always the giant face. Then the images shifted, became those of a modern world filled with people, and aliens as well, some who seemed to be helping and others who seemed to be plotting. <br><br>When she mentioned the Face of Boe, Robin could only assume that she was referring to the face she kept seeing, the one encased in glass and smoke, who seemed so kind and gentle. And she guessed he had died from the way Harme was speaking of him... But why did she say she had a dark past? As the Doctor put his arm around Robin, she found herself just nodding along, until she realized he was saying that <em>she</em> shared some characteristics with this face. Her eyes grew wider when he said she was a detective.<br><br>"Um, well," she said, shooting an accusing look up at the Doctor, "I really have no idea what he's talking about. I'm sorry."

				"Of course you do - she's incredibly modest, this one. She solved the Sliluthian Murder Mystery, she brought the barons of Moloc Five to justice and even managed to solve the hundred year mystery of the misty forests of Tenru," the Doctor said, clapping her on the shoulder again as he beamed at her. Laughter shined in his eyes as he watched her expression change from his lies.<br><br>"Is this a joke to you Doctor?" Rogan snarled angrily, "The Mistress needs protection! We need to find this assassin using the best resources available. Not some random neanderthal who just got out of hospital!"<br><br>"Rogan!" Harme hissed, showing anger for the first time on her delicate feline features. "You will hold your tongue! Such behavior is most unbecoming of you! If the Doctor trusts her, then so do I."<br><br>Rogan lowed his head in a bow. His arm hugged to his chest in a sign of apology. "My sincerest apologies Mistress.... and to you to Doctor."<br><br>"I don't believe I'm the one who needs apologizing to," the Doctor replied absentmindedly before nodding towards Robin.<br><br>Rogan seemed to freeze up for a moment before eventually bowing to Robin, "I apologize miss. Forgive my rudeness."<br><br>"Rogan is my most loyal guardian and has served by my side for many years. His regard for my safety clouds his judgement," Harme spoke with regret before offering a smile to Robin. "Please forgive me for troubling you by placing you in such a situation. You need not do anything you do not feel capable of doing. I will not hold it against you."

				As the Doctor spoke, Robin's eyes widened and her mouth fell open. She couldn't believe he was so blatantly lying to these people who were trying to trust him with something as valuable as Harme's life. But her shocked expression turned into a scowl as Rogan insulted her, and she glared at him with her most intimidating look - which, she admitted, was probably not intimidating at all.<br><br>"It's fine," she said curtly when he apologized. "No offense taken." She then took a very deep breath before looking at the Doctor accusingly. Then, turning to Harme, her expression softened and she smiled.<br><br>"I didn't do any of the things he just said I did," she said gently, walking toward the sick cat. With a nervous glance at Rogan, she placed her hand on top of Harme's. "But there is something... Weird about me. I can sometimes see things. Things I don't usually understand... but I'm starting to. So if I can help you, I will. I'll do my best. I just can't promise that it will work. I don't want to lie. But if you'd like my help, I'd love to give it. Just tell me what to do and I'll try as hard as I can to keep you safe."

				Harme smiled at Robin before cupping her hand in her own. "You are a very nice person Robin. Please, do what you can. Even if it comes to nothing. I'm honored that you would try," she said before looking over to the Doctor. "Doctor, what are your thoughts?"<br><br>"I think..." the Doctor began as he glanced around the room. "That if an enemy wanted you dead that badly. Then they would have waited it out and dished some dirt on you, rather than risk failing to get through one of the strongest medical spacecraft's in the universe." The Doctor said before scratching his chin. "I mean... yes, trying to pawn your murder off on your allies is all well and good, but there's a flaw in that plan."<br><br>"A flaw?" Rogan asked curiously. "What do you mean Doctor? If it was believed that our allies were the ones to carry out the assassination then we would tear ourselves apart in civil war."<br><br>"And if someone told you that they were going to take away your house while you argued with your neighbor, would you keep arguing with your neighbor?" The Doctor asked. "And if your neighbor's house was being taken away too and you were the best of friends before the argument? Would you still do nothing for them?"<br><br>"No, there's something missing here. Something big. Something so massive that it's staring me in the face," the Doctor spoke rapidly and began to pace around the room as he struggled to put the pieces together. "Robin I want you to try and scan Harme's memories. Nothing too deep, just everything since she was committed to the hospital."<br><br>"Doctor?" Harme looked troubled as she watched the Doctor. Rogan shuffled uncomfortably on the spot. "Why do you want to do that? Are you sure that's the best idea?"<br><br>The Doctor stopped pacing and turned to her. He looked at Rogan and then at Harme before nodding. "The great detective Robin needs information. If we're to stop them from killing you then we need to know everything."

				Robin looked back and forth between the Doctor and Harme when he suggested scanning the cat's memories. She had never done this sort of thing on purpose, and she wasn't quite sure she was capable. Gulping nervously, she looked back down at Harme, trying to smile reassuringly. It wasn't really clear if it worked or not.<br><br>"Um, okay, well," she said, her voice trembling a little, "I've never really... done this. So if I hurt you, tell me. I mean I don't think it should hurt but I don't know. And if there's anything you don't want me to see, try to hide it." She looked down at the dying woman for confirmation, and Harme searched her eyes before nodding. Robin breathed deeply, and then let her eyes flutter closed.<br><br>Withdrawing into her mind, she tried expanding the boundaries of her thoughts. Tentatively, slowly, she reached out and touched Harme's mind, and her thoughts were afraid but sure. It seemed that she really trusted the Doctor, and that was good. Robin thought so anyway. Then, she started searching for memories, and all at once a barrage of old happenings slammed into her thoughts.<br><br>She saw the Doctor, the dark woman, Harme, and the Face of Boe huddled together. The Face of Boe seemed to be dying, and everyone in the room had tears running down their cheeks. Robin thought she was crying as well, and hoped no one saw. Then she heard the Face speak to the Doctor, his booming, telepathic voice saying four words that seemed to be very, very important.<br><br>"You are not alone." Robin shivered as the memory shifted, knowing that that statement must have led to many adventures for the Doctor. But suddenly, she was in a hospital, and not the one she was currently inside. It was a tall building instead of a spaceship, white and gleaming and healthy. All of the nurses seemed to be the same species as Harme, and they were busily walking from patient to patient, checking their charts and administering medicines.<br><br>She could see Mistress Harme, young and beautiful, sitting beside a still-alive Face of Boe. She seemed to be taking care of him, and Robin smiled. The vision shifted again, and Robin looked with horror upon an army of sick people, with boils and sores and other diseases. They were walking around the hospital, touching the healthy people and killing them. She could hear the Doctor's voice saying that they had "all the diseases in the universe." The sight of them made Robin sick and sad at the same time.<br><br>Suddenly, she could see the Doctor, who was dumping a vat of something on himself and spreading the cures to all of the sick people. Robin had to smile at that. Of course he would risk his own safety to ensure the well-being of these unfortunate humans. Then it seemed she was withdrawing from Harme's mind, and she opened her eyes with a small gasp.<br><br>"Well, Doctor," she said, her voice shaking some. "I saw you, and Harme, and... Martha, I think? Anyway, you were with the Face of Boe and he was dying, and he said you are not alone. Then I went to the hospital, and I saw you curing all of those... sick clones. But does that have anything to do with now?"

				"I don't know," the Doctor replied before turning his head to Harme, who was now avoiding eye contact. "Robin has low level psychic powers. They're erratic, but quite effective, however she shouldn't be able to delve too deeply into anyone's mind. Not yet anyway." The Doctor crossed the room and returned to Harme's side and pulled out one of the white chairs next to her bed. "The only thing she should be able to view is what you've been thinking about quite recently.... Mistress Harme, why have you been thinking of your past so much?"<br><br>"I am dying Doctor. Can I not repent? Can I not mourn my mistakes and those who I could not save?" Harme asked, her voice filled with regret.<br><br>"That was a very long time ago Harme. You are not that person any more and their blood is not on your hands, you know it as well as I do," the Doctor spoke before leaning forwards on his elbows to stare deeper into her eyes. "What else do the enemy want Harme?"<br><br>"I can't tell you...I promised the Face of Boe that I would not let anyone know."<br><br>"Then let me figure it out and you won't break your promise," the Doctor spoke before closing his eyes. "You've been thinking of a promise you made to the Face of Boe. Something big enough to take to the grave. Something that must never fall into the wrong hands...but you've also been thinking about your past mistakes. The experiments with the flesh, artificial life infected by every disease in the universe..."<br><br>His golden eyes bore into hers. "You spent a long portion of your life living alone in the under city of New Earth with the face of Boe, protected from the super virus that had decimated the surface of the planet. You lived alone for all that time..." the Doctor stared at her hard, scratching her chin as he put the pieces together. "....and using your knowledge of medicine...you tried to find a cure to the virus in case it still lurked on the surface or needed to be dealt with again."<br><br>Harme's eyes were brimming with tears. She wiped them away with the back of her hand as the Doctor came to his conclusion; "And in order to do it you found a way to replicate it. Your mind has knowledge of how to create every virus in the universe and then some. Your brain is a giant blue print of every biological weapon."<br><br>The Doctor reached out and placed his hand on top of her paw before smiling at her sympathetically. "You've written it all down haven't you?"<br><br>"All of it is in my memoirs. My sins were too great Doctor!" Harme cried, "Everyone believes that I am some saint who helped bring humanity back and still have the drive to bring help to those who need it, but I am not any of that. I am a person who has done so much wrong and strove to do right to make up for it. I need everyone to know that I am not a saint. Surely you understand that?"<br><br>Harme began to weep into her hands. The Doctor rubbed the back of her shoulders, shushing her softly as she sobbed her heart out. "I understand perfectly Harme. I understand more than you will ever know."

				It was truly incredible to watch the Doctor work. The gears turning in his head were almost visible. He was a genius. Crazy, yes; ridiculous, yes; infuriating, yes, but a genius nonetheless. Robin wondered how long someone would have to travel the universe to gain the sort of knowledge and logical skill that he could pull out so easily. <br><br>Her head snapped up to look at him when he reached his conclusion, and her eyes widened in shock. Harme had thought of <em>every</em> conceivable cure, but had also thought of how to create <em>every</em> conceivable virus... The scale of this was too enormous to think of, and Robin stood up and paced the floor. If someone got hold of Harme's knowledge, they could not just take over the Earth, but the whole universe.<br><br>Suddenly, a strange thought entered her head. Her eyes searched everyone in the room, but the thought came from neither the Doctor, Harme, or Rogan. The image she saw was simply Harme's catlike face. It was the only thought in the person's head, and for some reason, Robin felt very nervous because of it.<br><br>"Doctor," she said softly, grabbing his arm. "I don't mean to interrupt, but I just saw something. Someone not in this room is focused on Mistress Harme's face. And I mean focused on it."

				"It's genius when you think about it. They'll kill you in the disguise of a comrade, start a civil war on Earth and then they'll release every virus onto it's surface," the Doctor said with a grim shake of the head. "They'll insist the entire planet gets sterilized once every life on Earth has been extinguished. And then they'll carve up the Earth for profit. It's evil genius at it's finest."<br><br>When Robin alerted the Doctor he stood in alarm and reached into his pocket to pull out his sonic screwdriver....then he remembered that Rogan had taken his jacket and all his toys with it. "Uh oh..." he mumbled before looking frantically left and right, "Everyone remain on guard. They're beginning their plan!"<br><br>Rogan pulled out his gun once more while the Doctor began to march up and down the sides of the room, pressing his ear to the walls as he moved from one corner to the next. For a moment it seemed as if nothing would happen....until a red ball of energy suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.<br><br>"GET DOWN!" Rogan yelled before the ball of energy shot towards the bed, but before it could strike Harme down Rogan leaped into the line of fire and head butted the ball of power. A great bang echoing through the room as it exploded.<br><br>"Rogan!" Harme shrieked as the soldier lay in a pile on the ground with a head covered in fire. The Doctor ran to his side and grabbed the sides of the burning helmet, yelling out in pain as he flicked the clips that held it in place and tore it off.<br><br>"Are you all right Rogan?" The Doctor asked urgently as he looked down on the exposed head of the leader of the Claws.<br><br>It turned out that Rogan was also a cat person. Except he was obviously male and where as Harme looked as if she was related to some form of tabby cat, Rogan looked as if he was related to a leopard. Dark spots dotted his head and his fur gleamed a dangerous vibrant yellow. "I'm fine Doctor, but we need to get Harme out of here," he growled before getting to his feet.<br><br>"Excellent idea Rogan. Robin I need you to give me a hand getting Harme out of bed," the Doctor said to Robin as he got to his feet and rushed to Harme's side.

				Robin yelled as the red ball appeared in the room, ducking down at Rogan's command. Looking at him in shock as he headbutted it, she ran to his side with the Doctor, concerned that he was hurt. When he seemed to be fine, she accompanied the Doctor to Harme's bedside. Slipping a hand under one of her arms, Robin tried to give her a reassuring smile, but she wasn't sure how well it worked with the scar across her face.<br><br>Suddenly, Robin felt a stabbing pain in her mind, as if someone had plunged a psychic knife directly into her thoughts. She cried out in pain and crumpled to the floor, unable to move. She knew someone would try to help her, but she knew these people were after Harme, not her.<br><br>"Go!" she shouted over the commotion, lying on the floor. "Just go, get her out of here! They don't want me!"

				The Doctor was about to speak and tell Robin to get up, but to his surprise Harme was the one to tell her first. "Don't you dare girl!" She snapped, before grabbing her by the shoulder and tugging. "I will not have the person who just help save my life be left to die! Get up!"<br><br>Rogan had bean tapping buttons on the tablet computer he had pulled out of the wall. His leopard head glared at the machine menacingly, a trickle of blood running from his forehead as he thumbed the buttons furiously. "Everyone gather in the center of the room. We will bounce in five seconds!" He roared at the others.<br><br>"Robin, do as Harme says. I'm going to need your help, we can't leave you behind!" The Doctor yelled at her whilst dragging Harme over to Rogan and handing the frail feline to him. "If we leave you then whoever is attacking will just send up another blast of energy and it will get you anyway. Don't be a hero!"

				Robin felt so weak, so tired... All she wanted to do was lie on the floor and take a nap. As Harme tugged at her, she groaned, pulling her arm away in irritation. There was no pain, only extreme exhaustion, as though she'd been running for hours... and hours... and hours... But then the Doctor was yelling at her as well, and her eyebrows furrowed.<br><br>The Doctor. He had saved her twice in the face of almost certain death. He had taken the Wire's electricity out of her and put it in his own head. If he could go through so much pain for her, then she could do it for him. As quickly as she could, she dragged herself across the room and grabbed hold of the Doctor an instant before the teleport launched.<br><br>The strange weightless sensation happened again, but then they were somewhere else. Robin didn't look around, she simply sat on the floor, a little dazed. Looking up at the Doctor, she tried to focus on his face. <em>So handsome...</em> she thought, giggling. Well, perhaps she had said it aloud. She didn't know. Suddenly, all of the weariness was gone, and she was back to feeling just as healthy as before. Shaking her head, she stood, going to the Doctor's side. She blushed furiously and hoped that she hadn't said that out loud. He would never let her hear the end of it.<br><br>"What did they do to me?" she asked in a soft voice. "And where are we?"

				"We're in the cafeteria, and it wasn't so much what they did to you as what you did to them," the Doctor spoke while rushing about the room they were in, tracing his finger tips along the walls. It seemed amazing that he could do so when they had just shifted through reality. His mind must have been more focused on the task at hand. "What you felt in that room was the psychic backlash from the incoming laser blast. The weapon was alive..." the Doctor's voice trailed off before he gazed at the ceilling and smiled a little. "A laser blast with conciousness, a suicide bomber, more effective than a heat seeking missile. We're up against some professional killers."<br><br>"What do we do now Doctor? Can we expect another attack?" Rogan asked as he helped place Harme on one of the many chairs scattered about the room they were in. Rows upon rows of white benches and tables stood before a large counter, filled with empty trays that would have contained piping hot food.<br><br>"We certainly can, but unfortunately the attack has already begun," the Doctor said before rushing to Robin's side and helping her to her feet. "Are you all right? The backlash from the dying weapon must have hit you quite hard."

				The cafeteria. How strange. Robin had thought that in such an efficient hospital, there would be no need for a cafeteria. Maybe the family members needed somewhere to eat, or the staff. Shaking her head, she wondered why her thoughts were in such a jumble... Psychic backlash. Perhaps that was it. She hoped fervently that it didn't have too long-lasting effects, because she didn't like feeling so scatterbrained.<br><br>She walked to Harme's side and took her hand gently before answering the Doctor's questions. It just felt like she should know that Robin didn't blame her for anything. When the cat looked up at her, Robin smiled, and the cat returned the gesture. With a nod, Robin left to stand by the Doctor, hoping he would stay still for a few minutes. <br><br>"I'm fine," she said with another smile. "A little woozy and I can't really control my thoughts all that well, but I don't feel any pain or quite as strange as I did a few minutes ago. What can I do to help?" She tugged nervously on the little gold locket that hung around her neck, a habit she'd had since she could remember.

				"What you can do to help is keep me updated with how you're feeling every few minutes," the Doctor said to her before patting her on the back. "You are incredibly important and very brilliant. I need you to keep me posted about anything and everything you're feeling. Even if it seems silly."<br><br>"Doctor," Rogan called from Harme's side, his wild eyes staring him down. "You said that the attack had already begun. What did you been by that?"<br><br>"It's simple really, take a look around you Rogan," the Doctor replied and gestured to the deserted room. "Look around you. Where are all the people Rogan?"<br><br>"Oh no..." Harme wheezed as she stared helplessly at the empty chairs. "He's right. These facilities are for the staff to relax and socialize. The cafeteria is never empty. Doctor, what's going on? What have they done with the staff?"<br><br>"I'm assuming that it doesn't stop at the staff Harme," the Doctor said with a frown before crossing the room and pressing his ear to one of the walls. "I think every single life on this ship has suddenly vanished. I think that we're the only ones who remain here."<br><br>"No!" Harme cried, covering her mouth with her hands before letting out a sickly cough. No doubt brought on by the stress of the situation. "I never wanted this to happen! Even if we failed our mission, I never wanted anyone to get hurt. What have they done to them Doctor?"<br><br>"I'm not sure, but I've got my best girl on the case," the Doctor spoke before returning to Robin's side and placing a hand on her shoulder. "Robin, I need you to stay as in tune with everything as possible. I'm not entirely sure what has happened here, but if anyone to can figure it out, then it's you."<br><br>He smiled at her before ruffling her hair a little.

				At the Doctor's request, Robin rolled her eyes. It seemed as though he was both putting her in the middle of this situation <em>and</em> trying to remove her from it. It was so hard to keep up with, the changes in his thought processes and his actions. He was like a child suffering from ADHD, the way he ran around and changed subjects and rambled on and on.<br><br>And Robin wouldn't have changed him one bit if she could.<br><br>When he mentioned the fact that every life in the hospital had vanished, she gasped along with Harme, her eyes widening in shock. It was true; everything seemed much too quiet the past few minutes. She guessed they were lucky that they were even alive, but all those poor people... All Robin could do was hope that they'd been transported somewhere and not killed.<br><br>When he ruffled her hair, she scowled at him.<br><br>"Again with the hair," She mumbled, batting his hand out of the way. Then, she sat down next to Harme and closed her eyes. Opening her mind again, she searched for anything, anything at all. Suddenly, she saw something. Something fleeting but she thought she knew what it was.<br><br>"Doctor, I saw something," she said softly, opening her eyes. "I only saw it for a second, but I'm pretty sure it was a set of blueprints for the hospital. What could that mean?"

				The Doctor had dashed back to the wall he had been pressed against a moment ago while Robin did her best to use her amazing gifts. He turned to face her and scratched his chin, a look of deep concentration on his face as he thought over what she had told him.<br><br>"Well... my first thought would be that the enemy knows the layout of this hospital and we should be prepared for an attack at any time," the Doctor said before shaking his head. "But these are trained killers who knew exactly where Harme was being held anyway. Why would the layout of this hospital be such a big deal? Surely they've know those details for months."<br><br>The Doctor paused to think it over for a little longer. And then he walked back to Robin's side and ruffled her hair again.<br><br>"Sorry, you have very ruffable hair," the Doctor said with a grin. "Good work, keep it up."<br><br>"What should we do now Doctor?" Rogan asked, his eyes shifting to Harme as she let out another sickly cough. "The mistress needs medical attention. We need to find the enemy and neutralize them before they can do any more damage."<br><br>"No," Harme croaked with a defiant shake of her head. "We need to find my memoirs. If what the Doctor says is true then there is a chance they have found the secret compartment in which they have been hidden. We must make our way to my old office."<br><br>"If that's what you think is best I have no problem with your decision. Your life is in danger so we'll go where you go," the Doctor said with a nod before flashing a grin at Robin. "See? Being a hero in next to nothing isn't too bad is it?"

				Robin made a face at him as he ruffled her hair again. It was a very patronizing gesture, and she didn't like it very much. She knew he was a <em>lot</em> older than her, but he didn't look it, and there was no need to intentionally make her feel like a child. Nonetheless, she made the face, knowing that it was immature.<br><br>"Ruffable hair," she muttered, standing again and walking around the cafeteria. "I've never heard something so silly." Turning back as the group began to talk of plans, Robin focused on Harme. She was so brave, risking her own life to keep others safe. Robin only hoped she could be like that one day, facing death in a moment of weakness and still soldiering on.<br><br>She flushed at the Doctor's next statement, and scowled at him again. Her hands reached behind her to cover herself again.<br><br>"Actually, it's quite uncomfortable," she said stiffly, trying to keep dignified even in the ridiculous gown. "Mistress Harme, would you happen to have any clothes in your-" Robin's hand flew to her head and she sat hard on the floor as something accosted her mind. It was... whispering. Sinister and dark, it resounded in her head almost painfully.<br><br>"Doctor," she said as the feeling faded, "I heard something else. Just whispering. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I definitely heard some scary as hell whispering."

				"What? There's nothing wrong with having ruffable hair. It's a compliment!" The Doctor said cheerfully as she gave him the worst look he had seen on her face yet. He laughed at her expression before reaching up to his collar and removing the bolo tie that hung around his neck. He began to unbutton his shirt an removed it before hanging the bolo tie back around his neck, lie a strange necklace.<br><br>"She's got the shirt off my back. Next she'll want my hand in marriage," the Doctor said to himself with a smile before motioning to Rogan. "Come on Rogan, I need you to scope out the way ahead with me to check that it's safe. I would offer to do it all by myself, but I don't have any of my gadgets. Which is a real shame because I've been itching to try out my psychic spanner," he said with a huff.<br><br>Rogan nodded before placing his hand on Harme's shoulder in a comforting gesture before marching out the room with his rifle raised. The Doctor walked over to Robin to give her his shirt. <br><br>He stopped when Robin keeled over and gripped her head between her hands.<br><br>"Robin!" He cried in alarm before kneeling by her side and asking her what she saw. When she was done explaining his expression seemed to darken, but the confusion was still evident in his gaze. "I'm not sure... I've got a lot of idea's and I'm narrowing them down, but I have nothing certain."<br><br>He handed her his shirt and helped her to her feet again before frowning. "Maybe if my brain weren't so broken I could be of more help," he sighed before motioning to Harme. "Robin, I need you to keep that up, but I also need you to help Harme out of this room. She can't stand by herself and Rogan is our only means of defense. Can you do that for me?"

				She laughed feebly as she accepted his shirt, pulling it on and leaving it unbuttoned. It was just long enough to cover what needed to be covered, but she was sure she looked ridiculous.<br><br>"Oh look at me, the height of fashion," she said, batting her eyelashes. "Doctor, marry me!" Feeling silly, she placed another kiss on his cheek before rushing to Harme's side. "Of course I'll help her out," she said, her voice kind. Offering her hand to the cat, she waited until she felt ready, and then gently hoisted her up. She lifted the other woman's arm around her shoulder so she could carry most of her weight.<br><br>"Ready when you are, Mistress Harme," she said with another smile. Harme nodded at her, and Robin slowly guided her toward the door, letting her get her bearings a little before continuing. She paused and turned to look at the Doctor, a little worry clouding her expression.<br><br>"Doctor, watch our backs," she said softly. Then, another wave came over her, but this time she managed to keep her feet under her. "I got another one, Doctor. This time it was just... emotion. Excitement... Excitement about killing." She gulped hard as she stared at the man they all hoped could save their lives.

				"Urgh, girls!" The Doctor moaned immaturely before pretending to wipe his cheek. "We'll need to move as quickly as possible, but we mustn't be careless. Rogan should be able to hold the front. A catking male with a proton powered obliteration rifle is a lethal body guard, but the leader of the Claws of Sontrai wielding a proton powered obliteration rifle is a death sentence on legs."<br><br>"He was such a timid kitten when he was growing up," Harme chuckled weakly before gratefully smiling at Robin as she helped her to her feet and aided her as she walked to the door. "Thank you again for your help Robin. You are as brilliant as the Doctor says."<br><br>"I'm always right Harme," the Doctor called back before nodding at Robin's order and racing forward to join Rogan. When he joined him in the corridor he found Rogan standing with his fingers tenderly stroking the trigger of his rifle. So far he had met with no resistance, but it was clear that he was eager to rip apart the first enemy to cross their paths.<br><br>When Robin joined them and announced her vision the two turned to face her before looking at each other.<br><br>"What does that mean Doctor? Are they preparing another laser blast?" Rogan asked, his white fangs glowing red from the aura of the energy cell loaded in his rifle. "My armor can take another hit, but if we don't prepare a counter measure soon then we'll be gunned down quickly. What should we do?"<br><br>"Keep on course Rogan, we'll get Harme to her office. If we move fast enough we'll be able to out maneuver any blasts that they send our way by jumping into patient's rooms or traveling down and up stair cases," the Doctor explained before the group began to make it's way down the corridor. "They may be alive, but my guess is that those laser blasts don't have particularly good steering."

				"I'll help you any way I can, Mistress Harme," Robin said softly, hugging the cat a little closer to her side. "And I'm not brilliant, I'm just following orders. You are brilliant, and kind, and it has been an honor to meet you. A real honor." She smiled over at Harme, feeling fatigued but empowered with her desire to help the woman and her friends and the future of the human race.<br><br>Rogan was formidable with his fangs and his armor. Obviously a fierce warrior, he stood strong and proud in his place, ready to defend his Mistress with his life. But no matter how scary he might look, Robin knew that the Doctor was easily the more frightening of the two. He stood there, looking silly shirtless with a bolo tie and rolled-up pants, but behind his ancient eyes lurked a scary intelligence and a readiness for battle that Robin couldn't even fathom.<br><br>"The Doctor will keep us safe," Robin reassured Harme with a little smile. "He's saved me twice now and he hardly even knows me. You're much more important and he knows you well, so I know he'll get us out of this and get those memoirs for you." <br><br>Another wave came over her then as they walked, more of the same excitement and thrill, but she thought that the Doctor didn't need to hear repeat news, and she kept silent.

				Harme tried speaking, but couldn't bring herself to. Whether it was because of her illness or because she had been deeply moved by Robin's words, she didn't let on. When she did finally gain her voice she spoke softly and warmly to Robin and smiled gently at the young girl. "My dear, never believe that you are not as important as I am. Everyone is. That is what the Doctor believes and it has been my belief too for a long time."<br><br>No attacks came while they ran through the corridors. Just like the cafeteria they encountered no signs of life. It seemed that every level of the hospital was completely deserted, from corridors to the rooms of the patients. Although neither Rogan nor the Doctor stopped for a moment to comment on the missing people, it was clear from the urgent way they ran that both of them were angered by the turn of events.<br><br>If the innocent people of board turned out to bed dead, there was no doubt that both of them would make whoever killed them pay.<br><br>"Up ahead Doctor!" Harm coughed as they turned a corner and came across a heavy bolted door with the plaque that bore the same symbol as Rogan's armor. Gathering what little strength she had, Harme pressed her hands against the great symbol and whispered something to it before stepping back as it vanished and the door opened with a heavy clunk.<br><br>Harme's room was neat and tidy, but it looked as if no one had used it in quite a while. A great white desk stood in the middle of the room, resembling a sort of flat cloud with legs. Built into it's surface was a large black screen that seemed similar to the screens on the tablet computers around the hospital. Behind it lay an even larger plaque of the strange cat symbol, surrounded by pictures of healthy looking patients who had sent their thanks to Harme for curing them of their ills.<br><br>The Doctor rushed about the room once they had entered. He began to check every nook and cranny of the room, presumably to look for foes and hidden traps. <br><br>He checked under the desk, around the plaque, under the chairs and even checked the strange empty fish tank that stood adjacent to the desk by plunging his head into it before pulling himself out and shaking his blonde messy hair free of the water.<br><br>"No threats in there. Just a Sea Puppy tank," he panted before running his fingers through his hair and looking over his shoulder at Harme. "Never figure you the type to keep a Sea Puppy."<br><br>"I named him the Doctor," Harme said with a weak chuckle. "Something to remind me of my idol and savior."<br><br>"Oh stop, you'll make me blush," the Doctor said before shaking out his hair again. "Rogan take up point. Robin stay alert. Harme, find the memoirs."<br><br>They nodded and set about their work. Rogan aimed his rifle at the door, whilst Harme began to touch random places of the large black screen whilst whispering code words under her breath. Once she was done she gazed over the pictures of patients, until eventually she came across a photo of a small boy with a head wrapped entirely in bandages.<br><br>"There we are," she whispered before reaching out to the photograph and twisting the image, which had turned out to be the door to a secret compartment. "Once we have my memoirs I can trust them to you, Doctor. You can take them and spread the word without endangering any more lives. And I can finally rest in pea-" Harme stopped talking and let out a wail of despair. "No! This can't be! They're gone!"<br><br>Sure enough, the compartment was empty.<br><br>"They have my memoirs..." Harme whispered before slumping into the chair behind her desk and shutting her eyes. "All is lost."<br><br>"Robin," the Doctor spoke softly as he turned to face her. "What can you hear now?" He asked, sounding on edge. It was strange, but he didn't look like a man who just found out their efforts had been for nothing. Instead, he looked like someone expecting danger.

				As everyone went about their duties, Robin watched with amazement. The Doctor was efficient but erratic, sticking his head here and there and even into a... Sea Puppy tank. She rolled her eyes, amused, and sat down with her eyes closed. A face swam behind her eyes, but it was not a face she thought had anything to do with their current situation. It was a kind face, intelligent and beautiful, and for some reason... familiar. <br><br>Shaking her head, she cleared it from her thoughts, wanted to focus on the task at hand. For a moment, all she heard was the excitement and the sinister whispering. Her eyes snapped open when Harme began to wail about the memoirs being gone, and Robin flew to her feet and hurried to the cat's side. Taking her hand gently, she looked at the Doctor with panic.<br><br>When he spoke to her, she caught the intense, almost frightened look in his eyes. It made her heart beat quickly, pumping adrenaline through her system. Nodding, she closed her eyes and concentrated fiercely, listening for everything she could. Amazingly, she could hear things from those in the room with her, but she quickly tuned them out. Then another jolt of pain shot through her head and she sank to her knees with a short cry.<br><br>"<strong>We have it! We have it!</strong>" She yelled at the Doctor, echoing what she heard.

				The Doctor closed his eyes and sighed a heavy, heavy sigh. "Those clever, clever villains," he muttered before running his hand through his hair and slowly started to pace in a circle in the middle of the room. "I should have seen it. The clues were there, but I didn't see it."<br><br>"What's going on Doctor?" Rogan growled before raising his gun as a sudden tremor rippled through the room. Outside of the door they could hear the sound of foot steps marching towards them. Each step sounding wet and slippery as they slapped on the floor. "How did they know where the memoirs were? How did they get to them before us?"<br><br>"They didn't Rogan," the Doctor replied with another deep sigh. "They didn't know where the memoirs were and they didn't get to them before us."<br><br>"What do you mean Doctor?" Harme asked, dropping her hands from her face.<br><br>"What I mean is that they've pulled a trick on us. And it was staring us right in the face," the Doctor said before pointing to the fish tank. "Harme, where is your Sea Puppy?"<br><br>"I-I don't know, maybe moved him elsewhere?" Harme suggested. "Why does it matter Doctor?"<br><br>"It matters because we haven't seen any organic life on this ship. All we've seen is man made structures. No people, no animals and not even food or water. Which is especially odd because the Nightingale provides twenty four hours food service for all of it's staff. Those trays&nbsp; in the cafeteria should have been full," the Doctor explained, beginning to pace again as he went through each detail. "Do you know why we haven't found any living matter? Because living matter is near impossible to suddenly replicate within seconds. It's like doing the scientific equivalent of writing with your opposite hand."<br><br>"In comparison, artificial materials like the ones that the S S Nightingale is made of are a little easier to replicate. Especially if you have a particularly good piece of technology or are a particularly powerful creature. If you've got the right know how then you can replicate anything so long as you have a model to base it off."<br><br>"So what are you saying Doctor?" Rogan asked, gun locked on the door. "Has someone... copied and built the inside of the S S Nightingale?"<br><br>"That's exactly what I'm saying Rogan. They had a lot of idea's of where Harme's memoirs could be and had the blue prints of the system, but they couldn't be sure where she had hid them," "And they couldn't risk sneaking in to one of the most secure ships in the universe. You can't check a patient out with triggering an alarm. Just imagine the security protecting vital information."<br><br>"So what they did was launch a simple attack in the form of a living laser. And then, they hijacked our teleporter and beamed us aboard this replica. And waited until we had gone to search for the memoirs so that they could watch us and find out exactly how to break into the S S Nightingale quickly and efficiently."<br><br>"But what about the people Doctor?" Harme asked, confused. "Where have they been taken?"<br><br>"They were never taken anywhere Harme. The enemy just took advantage of the replicators weakness of being unable to produce organic matter and made it look as if they had gotten rid of them," the Doctor explained. "And now...they're coming for us, because the replicator has let them know the job is done."<br><br>"What do you mean? How did it know the job had been completed?" Rogan asked with a growl.<br><br>"It knows everything Rogan. What do you think Robin was hearing?" The Doctor asked before looking up at the ceiling with a big frown on his face. "I had her scan constantly to keep track on the enemy. What I didn't realise was that the enemy was everywhere."<br><br>Harme let out a gasp and Rogan jumped back and pointed his gun at the ceiling and then the walls as realisation dawned on them both. <br><br>"The replicator is a living thing, an alien of gigantic size, and we're inside it," the Doctor spoke solemnly. "It's a living stage set."

				Robin stared, dumbfounded, as the Doctor began speaking. Another trap... Another dangerous situation... Robin groaned. It was all her fault, too; if she hadn't been captured, they wouldn't even be here at all, and none of this would have happened. She felt horrible, but kept quiet, because the Doctor still hadn't stopped speaking. <br><br><em>"It knows everything Rogan. What do you think Robin was hearing? I had her scan constantly to keep track on the enemy. What I didn't realise was that the enemy was everywhere."</em> Her head dropped into her hands at his words; she should have tried harder, and maybe she would have been able to warn them... She made a crappy psychic, that was for sure. <br><br><em>"The replicator is a living thing, an alien of gigantic size, and we're inside it. It's a living stage set."</em> A gasp escaped her as he said this, and another jolt went through her head. This time, it was simply laughter. Evil, manipulative, <strong>gigantic</strong> laughter. Robin looked up, her eyes searching the room, wondering how anything sentient could model itself after something like this. It was incredible how little the people of her time knew about the universe.<br><br>"I'm sorry," she whispered in a choked voice, "I should have seen it... I should have been able to tell. This is all my fault. Mistress Harme... I'm so sorry." Her breath quickened as she heard the footsteps approaching. "Doctor... What are they? Are they going to kill us? Why does <em>everybody</em> like to put you in traps?"

				"It isn't your fault Robin. Don't blame yourself. I am the one who dragged you into this mess," Harme spoke with a frown as she gazed helplessly at the door, listening as the sound of wet marching grew even louder. "Doctor, what is that sound?"<br><br>"More than likely it's our death sentence," the Doctor spoke. "Robin, get by Harme. Rogan, stay by my side." He instructed before walking to the door and taking a hold of the handle and opening the door a little so that he could look through.<br>&nbsp;<br>The Doctor looked through the slit and saw ten strange slimy creatures with thick skin the color of clay. Their flesh was moist and slippery and their bodies looked as if they had been created from bits of muscle. They had faces, but their eyes, nose, ears and mouth were just empty holes, like finger prints in mud.<br><br>"Doctor, what's out there?" Rogan asked.<br><br>"Alien Anti-Bodies. The white cells of the creature. Something this powerful is bound to have total control of every function of its body," the Doctor said before looking back at them and offering a weak smile. "We're hopelessly outnumbered, but I have an idea. It may not be the greatest idea ever, but it's a clever idea that uses the element of surprise. And we all know how well that works." <br><br>"What are planning Doctor?" Rogan asked.<br><br>"Just be ready with your gun Rogan," the Doctor spoke before wrenching the door open, raising his arms and yelling at the top of his voice; "HI I'M THE DOCTOR AND I'M SHIRTLESS! LOOK AT MY CHEST!"<br><br>The creatures were certainly stunned. Their sockets seemed to widen as he stepped out and yelled. Giving Rogan the perfect opportunity to jump in and aim his weapon and hold them at gun point, causing the Antibodies to back up a little at the sight of the weapon.<br><br>"Well, I'm glad that worked. Even though I'm sure you'll rip us apart after Rogan fires the first shot, getting hit by a Obliterator Round is going to hurt," the Doctor said before smiling at the creatures and gesturing to them. "I believe your boss will want to get in touch with us to gloat?"<br><br>The creatures didn't reply, but one of them did step forward and push fleshy fingers into his chest and tear it open to reveal a screen in his body. The screen flickered a little before a completely spherical lime green head filled the screen. A smug smile on its face as it gazed at them.<br><br><em>"Well I expected that Rogan would remain alive at the end of all of this. You can always count on the Leader of the Claws to survive. Must be a combination of cat kind stupidity and sheer luck,"</em> he chuckled before glancing towards the Doctor. <em>"But, I expected to see that fur ball wench standing next to him...who are you?"</em><br><br>"I'm the Doctor and I'm one of three people who are standing between your goons and Mistress Harme," the Doctor replied with a friendly smile and a laugh in his voice. "I'm going to make things very difficult for you, Mr....?"<br><br>"His name is Greme Skinrad," Rogan snarled viciously. "He's the owner of a galaxy wide pharmaceutical company known as Skin Kind. He supplied Earth with chemicals and medicines. He's been known to many as one of the kindest faces in the universe....how dare you do this to us Greme, you scum!"

				Alien anti-bodies. It was possibly the strangest thing Robin had heard so far. She'd thought that after bodiless plasmic energy, giant green Slitheen, and cat-people, nothing could stun her any more... But to think that they were inside a giant alien and that they were being attacked by its white cells.. Well, it certainly came as a shock. She squeezed Harme's hand reassuringly, though she herself wasn't sure they'd be making it out alive.<br><br>And then, of course, the Doctor did something so absurd and completely insane that Robin had to laugh in bewilderment. Jumping out in front of an attacking group of antibodies and shouting about being shirtless... It was just so true to the Doctor's character that it was impossible not to be amused even in the current situation. <br><br>Then, one of the things had opened its chest to reveal a screen with the image of a strange green head. It began to talk, and Robin looked on with revulsion. It looked like a fleshy bouncy ball that she would have played with as a child. But there was some sinister undertone to it... It was like the whispering she had heard. Something in the voice that sounded not quite right.<br><br>Greme Skinrad. What a strange name. And to think he was betraying the Earth, when he had supplied so much for it... Robin looked on with interest, wondering what the alien planned to do and what the Doctor was planning in return.<br><br>"Mistress Harme," she whispered as quietly as she could, "I don't know what the Doctor will want us to do... But get ready to run. I know you aren't strong, and I'll help you as much as I can. Just be ready."

				"I know you will," Harme spoke with a smile. Her breathing was starting to become even more uneven, but she didn't look as helpless as she had a moment ago. "I trust you, as I trust the Doctor. May Sontari be with us and bless us in our moment of need."<br><br><em>"How unlucky for you to get involved in this mess Doctor. I try not to kill bystanders in my plans, but when people stand in the way of my business I find I have no choice."</em> Greme said apologetically, but it was clear from the look in his round black eyes that he didn't care in the slightest. <em>"I have to make sure that no one knows the truth about me. My empire would crumble. And I've done so pretty dishonest things to build it. I wouldn't want the effort to go to waste."</em><br><br>"I can guess the dishonest things you've done," the Doctor spoke before looking around the corridor and gazing over the Antibodies. "You've got a living spaceship as an assassin. A completely organic life form capable of replicating matter like a simulation machine. Weapons like this are the product of a true war profiteer."<br><br>"I assume the pharmaceutical company is just a front for your chemical weapon breeding war program?" <br><br><em>"Chemicals allow me to have my hand in a lot of businesses. Chemical weapons and planet ownership are just the higher paying products,"</em> <em>"Once I've obtained the memoirs and got all those idiots fighting each other I'll wipe the Earth clean of their presence and turn the whole world into a factory for my chemicals."</em> A drop of purple drool dribbled down the corner of his puffy mouth, the very thought of profit was making the villain salivate.<br><br><em>"Then I will start manufacturing the cure for the viruses right alongside the weapons. Whole universes will be able to go to war with each other using the arsenal of biological weapons that I will provide and the victims of the brutal assault will also come to me for the cures. I'll be richer than the kings of old!"</em><br><br>"And we can't stop you at all, because you're about to kill us and no one will know that it was you once you've dressed it up to look like it came from one of the allies," the Doctor said, still smiling as he watched Greme's face light up with sick delight. "You'll smell of roses despite how much filth you've wallow in."<br><br><em>"A good reputation is the foundation of good business,"</em> Greme said before gazing past the Doctor into the room behind. Harme had now gotten up and was standing in the doorway, glaring at the screen with all the venom she could muster. <em>"Oh how it must burn you Harme... to do all that good. To work so hard making up for your sins. And yet it amounts to nothing."</em><br><br>"I could care less about whether I have atoned for my sins. That is for Sontari to decide," Harme whispered. "My only regret will be that I have let down the innocent people that you will hurt."<br><br><em>"And now I feel a speech coming on,"</em> Greme sighed before clicking his fingers. <em>"Anti-bodies, kill them. It doesn't matter if one of you gets shot in the process, the rest of you will rip them apart."</em> The anti-bodies began to take steps towards them. Their feet making squelching noises with every step.<br><br>"Before you kill us I think you may want to listen to me," the Doctor called out to Greme as the squishy troops began to form in one them. "I'm about to tell you something very important. It will make you think twice about your plan."<br><br><em>"Oh really, Doctor?"</em> Greme said with a smirk.<br><br>"Yes, really. And you should really listen, because it's very, very important."<br><br><em>"And why is that Doctor?"</em><br><br>"Because what I say next is going to stop you."<br><br>Greme let out a laugh that echoed through the corridor. The Antibodies were closing in, forcing the Doctor and Rogan back into the room and trapping them in the small box. Soon they would close in and do whatever horrible things they had been programmed to do.<br><br><em>"Doctor, you are on a life form completely under my control. You are trapped and currently facing an army of Antibodies that will rip you apart, and even if you did manage to kill them my assassin can just create more. I hold all the cards. There is nothing you can do to stop me. So please enlighten me as to what could you possibly say that will stop me, when I have every advantage."</em><br><br>The Doctor grinned the biggest, broadest grin he had ever pulled. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he savored the words that came out of his mouth.<br><br>"I'm wearing a wire."

				As Greme spoke, Robin found herself becoming more and more repulsed by the creature. It was bad enough that he could speak of killing billions of innocent people without batting an eye, but to see him actually drool over the money he would make... It made Robin sick to her stomach. She had to brace herself on the chair to keep from falling, and she wondered if this feeling was completely due to Greme or to something else. <br><br>Images and memories were nagging at the corners of her vision, but she couldn't focus on them. It was so frustrating, to know you possess a way to see into others' minds, or perhaps even unlock memories in your own mind... But to be unable to utilize it to its full extent. <br><br>Then, however, the Doctor's words caught her attention. <br><br><em>"What I say next is going to stop you."</em> She sincerely hoped that he wasn't bluffing. There was no immediate way out of their situation, and the antibodies were quick and lethal. They wouldn't last a minute. <br><br><em>"I'm wearing a wire."</em> Even Robin's jaw dropped as he uttered this statement. How did he manage to be one step ahead of everyone? She had had no idea, and from the looks on Harme's and Rogan's faces, neither did they. All she could do was shake her head in amazement at the Doctor. And she thought she'd be doing that for a long, long time.

				A brief moment of shock and fear crossed over Greme's face as he stared at the Doctor. For a moment it looked as if he was going to be sick, but then his beady eyes narrowed and he let out a mocking laugh. <em>"Oh come on Doctor, you're obviously bluffing! This is just a lie to keep you from being slaughtered"</em><br><br>"No it's not. It's the truth. In fact the wires been active ever since I found out that there was a great conspiracy behind the threat on Harme's life," the Doctor said, his smile never wavering. "Villains like you can't resist reveling in their triumph. And the most fiendish ones certainly can't resist explaining everything to their victims."<br><br><em>"You couldn't possibly know that I would appear!"</em> Greme yelled at him before raising a tablet computer before his face. <em>"You're lying through your teeth! I'm looking through the data my assassin captured of you before you wandered into the trap. His data shows you came to visit a patient! You can't possibly have worn a wire and activated it just on the off chance that I would appear! That's madness!"</em><br><br>"Madness is a specialty of mine," the Doctor replied with a smile. "But, if you're still not convinced, then let me show you where I keep it." The Doctor said, before very slowly reaching up to his Bolo tie and pulling off the metal circle that connected the strings. He flipped the device in his hand and revealed a small microphone built into the back of it.<br><br>"It's a little gadget that was given to me by a friend of mine. A secret agent of sorts. Although he prefers the term <em>captain</em>," the Doctor said and rolled his eye before flipping the object in the air like a coin and catching it. "Let's have a listen to it shall we?" <br><br>There was a click as he caught the object before the sly voice of Greme began to speak through the device.<br><br><em>"Chemicals allow me to have my hand in a lot of businesses. Chemical weapons and planet ownership are just the higher paying products. Once I've obtained the memoirs and got all those idiots fighting each other I'll wipe the Earth clean of their presence and turn the whole world into a factory for my chemicals."</em><br><br>Greme's face changed quickly between shocked, afraid and angry. He pointed at the device and let a snarl as he let out an order; <em>"TAKE THAT DEVICE FROM HIS DEAD BODY!"</em> he screeched, his voice was so high from fright that it almost sounded like a squeak. <br><br>"Oh that won't do you any good," the Doctor said as he began to juggle the coin. "You see, the reason why I wear it is because it's activated by a number of code words that must be spoken with a certain time frame. That way I'm able to turn it on without using my hands. Once they've been said the recordings begin and won't stop until I've said the other code words."<br><br>"Doctor..." Harme's voice whispered from behind him. Her voice filled with amazement and happiness as she followed his scheme and began to put the pieces together. "Doctor, you didn't... that moment back in my chamber. The things you said about-"<br><br>"You've got it, Harme," the Doctor said before turning his head to look over at Robin and winking at her. "The code words are; Detective, Sliluthian, Moloc and Tenru." <br><br>"Those places I said Robin had made a name for herself at weren't the names of planets or locations. They're the names of three of the best, and not to mention most brutal, universal detectives. This device immediately calls them when it's activated and transmits the recording to them while it's active," the Doctor caught the ornament one last time before turning back to Greme and smirking. "And you've just given them your confession."<br><br>Greme had now turned from lime green to mint green as the Doctor's words sank in. He knew the repuation of the detective. They were fast, effective and merciless to those who were obliviously guilty. They had toppled conspiracy's far greater than the one he had set up. In mere minutes he would be arrested, tried and more than likely, executed.<br><br>As he stared into space, frozen by his defeat, he asked one final question, his voice small and timid. <em>"You wear that thing all the time?"</em><br><br>"Of course I do," the Doctor said, sounding surprised by the question while he refastened the tie around his neck. "Bolo ties are cool."

				Robin's mouth remained open throughout his entire speech. How was it possible for someone to be such a genius? Hiding a wire in a bolo tie... Having it be voice activated... And it automatically sent the recordings to these detectives? It was beyond her comprehension. She stared at the Doctor. He was completely unexplainable. So childish, so ridiculous, so absentminded... Was it all just a show? Or was it so terribly difficult being a genius that he had to compensate in other ways?<br><br>She shook her head, thinking back on what the Doctor had said earlier. So even when he was teasing her, he was beginning his plans, speaking the four words which would activate the wire. A laugh bubbled up in her throat at the idea of it all. It was just too much to think about, and so she simply stopped, looking at her companions. Smiling, she stood and walked to Harme.<br><br>"He did it," she said, wrapping her arms around the cat's frail shoulders. "How does he always do it? You know him; is he always like this?" Then she laughed again, unable to fathom what it must truly be like inside the Doctor's head.<br><br>When he said "<em>Bolo ties are cool,"</em> she got another flash of a memory from him. A man, who looked completely different, straightened a fez on top of his head, uttering the same sentence about the peculiar hat. His eyes, though... Could it be the same man? Walking to the Doctor, she planted a large (and purposefully wet) kiss on his cheek before standing back and placing her hands on her hips.<br><br>"So tell me," she said slowly, hoping not to trigger one of those bizarre painful episodes (though she doubted she would, since the memory seemed to be of another man entirely), "Are bolo ties cooler... Or are fezzes?"

				The Doctor smiled at Robin after she kissed him on the cheek before blinking dimly as she asked the question. Confusion crossed his features for a moment before the Doctor opened his mouth to say something funny and clever, but before he could utter a word he clutched at his head and screamed as gold fire slashed across his forehead.<br><br>"Doctor!" Harme cried in alarm as she watched with horror as the golden blaze engulfed his skull.<br><br>"Greme what have you done!" Rogan roared, watching the Doctor writhe and kick from the corner of his eye.<br><br><em>"I haven't done anything, but if he's in pain then I wish I had!"</em> Greme jibbed before pointing a finger. <em>"But its just the chance I need. Kill them!"</em><br><br>The Antibodies resumed their march towards the Doctor and the others. Their sockets curled into a menacing shape as they edged closer and closer, preparing to rip them apart. <br><br>Rogan took this as a sign to start firing and let fourth a brilliant spread of red energy the cut through the first monster and reduced him to dust.<br><br>The creatures comrades let out a collective squeal of pain before they lunged at Rogan and began trying to wrestle the gun from his hands. He snarled and snapped at the creatures, managing to get off another shot that blew the head off one of them, but it was obvious that he was no match for their numbers.<br><br>"Doctor, whats happening to you?" Harme cried as she knelt by his side while he shrieked in pain. She had provided care for thousands of people in her long life. She knew thousands of medical techniques, cures, diseases, wounds and other injuries, but she had never seen anything like this.<br><br>The Doctor had begun to scream something as he flailed and writhed. It sounded as if he was calling out the names of people, but there were only two names that he managed to choke out clearly before the rest got lost in shrieks and gunfire; Amy and Rory.<br><br>The Docotr's head touched the floor of the corridor and the world around them jolted and shimmered as the gold fire licked at the ground. The Antibodies, that were in the process of tearing Rogan in two, suddenly let out a wail and collapsed onto the ground, their purple skin turning a nasty shade of dark red which spread along the ground, turning the tiles of the floor, walls and ceiling a bloody red color.<br><br>"What's happening to this place?" Rogan panted and winced as he got up from the ground. The Antibodies had pulled his arm out of it's socket, but he didn't let that stop him.<br><br>The Doctor had finally stopped burning. He sat on his hands and knees, panting as the excruciating pain left his body, but even though the pain had gone, he still looked as if he was in burning pain.<br><br>He took a look at what was unfolding and swallowed hard before croaking; "Allergic reaction. Regenerating energy doesn't agree with the Repicator."<br><br>"What does that mean?" Harme asked, worriedly.<br><br>"It means that the replicators going to feel very very sick," the Doctor groaned. "And that would be very bad for us, because now he can't concentrate on keeping up the illusion. We'll be absorbed into its body."

				As the fire engulfed the Doctor's head, Robin's mouth popped open into an O of surprise. It seemed that she had triggered another one of his episodes. She sank to her knees, unable to move for the guilt she felt. Also, the pain had ripped through her own head at the start of his, but of course, it ended whereas the Doctor's didn't. With all of her being, she wanted to rush to the Doctor's side as Harme did, but she couldn't move.<br><br>Even when the antibodies started to attack, she remained in her position on the floor. She had likely killed them all for the sake of a stupid joke. She'd even thought about the consequences before saying it and said it anyway. Maybe it would be best if the Doctor did take her home. If she was going to cause this much pain and destruction just by bringing up his memories... Well, it meant too much. <br><br>Suddenly, the antibodies stopped and melted into the floor, turning the entire room a dark red. Half of her was listening to the Doctor speaking, and she became mildly alarmed when he said that they'd be absorbed into the creature as it had its allergic reaction. <br><br>"What do we do?" she asked, shakily getting to her feet. She kept herself away from the group, and only said things she felt were safe. "I'm very sorry. That was my fault."

				"No, it's my fault for having a broken brain-ARGH!" The Doctor let out another scream as another flash of gold traveled down his face. He began slapping his head between his heads until eventually the fire died away. The room was now beginning to throb, the Antibodies were jerking in the air like puppets on a string. The Doctor cleared his throat before stumbling towards Rogan. "Rogan with the creature sick we may have a chance to teleport out of here."<br><br>"That would be ideal Doctor, but theres a problem with that plan," Rogan spoke before lifting his arm, revealing frayed circuits and dented metal. "The Antibodies damaged my teleportation device. I'm not sure if it's working."<br><br>The Doctor let out a groan before bending over Rogan's arm and examining the damage. The walls were now starting to bleed a disgusting orange gunk that filled the room with a putrid smell. The floor shook beneath their feet whilst a pained groan resounded through the corridors. The Doctor letting out a frustrated growl, "The teleporters stabiliser has been damaged. If we were to use the teleporter then our bodies would be ripped to shreds, theres no way we would survive the journey."<br><br>"Don't you dare blame yourself" the Doctor said to Robin as he began looking around the room frantically as he tried to form a plan. "This would have happened anyway, we would be stuck in the belly of the beast regardless of whether my <em>condition</em> caused it to feel ill."<br><br>"Question is... what do we do? We have a sick alien on our hands and very little time to find an escape route. The alien creatures not going to have created working escape pods so finding those isn't an option. Perhaps we could risk the teleportation... being mildly ripped apart is better than being absorbed into its central nervous system. Who knows? Maybe we would look better with four fingers and no legs?"<br><br>The Doctor began tapping the sides of his head with his fingers. His eyes screwed up tight in concerntration, "Come on... think! Think! Think!"<br><br>"Doctor, I have an idea," Harme called before she began to slowly walk towards the red lined walls. Slowly, she raised her hand and pressed it lightly against one of the tiles. "What if...what if I let it absorb me?"<br><br>"What?" Rogan cried in outrage. "Don't be absurd mistress! It would kill you!"<br><br>"Doctor, would that work?" Harme asked, ignoring Rogan's cries of outrage.<br><br>The Doctor was quiet as he thought it over, a grim frown formed on his face. "Potentially," he muttered before shaking his head. "What am I saying. No, you can't do that Harme!"<br><br>"The Doctor is right! That would be suicide and you are needed Mistress!" Rogan roared, but despite the feral tone to his voice there was something evident mixed within it; despair.<br><br>"Rogan, my darling," Harme spoke affectionalty and smiled over her shoulder at him. "The reason why I survive the bliss virus many years ago was because of the Face of Boe. He enveloped me with lifesustaining smoke that protected me against it. I have always wondered if that was the reason why I have never fallen ill since that day. And why I have lived so long."<br><br>"If I let the creature absorb me, then perhaps what is left of my life force will heal the creature. And that will buy you the time you need to find a way out," she explained, her face not showing any hint of fear at the possibility, only resolution. "My purpose is to save lives. If I am to die then I would rather die fulfilling that purpose."<br><br>"Mistress, no..." Rogan whispered, his fierce eyes no longer full of fury and strength. Now he just looked like a sad kitten.<br><br>"I have no choice Rogan."<br><br>"Yes you do," the Doctor said softly. He was wearing a pained expression on his face. A sadness was lingering in his eyes that had surfaced too many times in his long life. These moments came much too often, the times when good people sacrificed themselves to save lives. How he wished that it hadn't come to this...<br><br>"Are you sure?" He asked, his voice no more than a whisper. <br><br>"I am," Harme replied with a nod. "But, please answer me this before I proceed..." Harme spoke, her voice pained. She turned her head to look at the Doctor before asking; "Am I...am I a good person?"<br><br>"Of course you are," the Doctor replied without hesitation. "Mistress Harme, high priest of the Sontari faith, Captain of the S. S. Nightingale, Chief Healer and Medical Supervisor. You have worked yourself to the bone to redeem your past mistakes. You helped save the residents of New Earth from total destruction and spent over twenty years alone with only the Face of Boe for company. You could have stopped at that, but you went on to rebuild the world and once you were done you helped create the Nightingale, all in the hope of helping those less fortunate. And despite all of these great things you have done, you still amaze me by wishing to prove to the world that you were not perfect, that you had secrets and that you would gladly go to your death with every single one of them exposed to the world."<br><br>The Doctor shook his head with disbelief and gave her a small smile, it was the best he could manage given the sadness in his heart.<br><br>"Mistress Harme, you are the embodiment of redemption. You are everything I aspire to be."<br><br>Harme's eyes glistened with tears. She sniffled and let out a sob before nodding to the Doctor, "Thank you so much Doctor. Farewell Robin and my dear, dear Rogan," she spoke before pressing her arm into the red walls. It slithered in slowly and effortlessly as she began to be absorbed by the creature.<br><br>"MISTRESS NO!" Rogan screamed and made a move to reach out for her, but the Doctor grabbed him and restrained him before he could make his move.<br><br>"Don't, if you touch her then you'll be absorbed as well!" The Doctor said, but Rogan didn't stop struggling against him as he watched the last of Harme vanish into the wall.<br><br>A white spot had appeared where she vanished, a clean patch amongst the red. Slowly the white began to expand to engulf the corridor, brushing away the forms of the Antibodies and the replicated image of the hospital corridors. Now the three of them were surrounded by endless white. Eternal nothingness caused by the cleansed mind of the Replicator.

				Robin stood helplessly by through everything. Her eyes widened, though, when Harme suggested taking her own life to spare the others'. Her cry caught in her throat as Rogan's roared through the room. This woman, this incredible woman, was willing to let herself be absorbed by the creature in order to save the three helpless people at her side. Though she had already risked everything and defeated her enemies... She would die nonetheless.<br><br>"No, Harme," Robin whispered, her voice far overshadowed by the Doctor's and Rogan's. Robin could see Harme's feelings; she had lived a long, full life and had done what she wanted - to help others. Her memories flickered and faded from bad to good or happy to sad. Her sadness at the Face of Boe's death resonated throughout the memories, though, and she was surprised to feel that Harme was ready to go to her death. She hoped Sontari would have mercy on her and allow her to be reunited with her savior.<br><br>A sad smile touched Robin's lips as the thoughts faded to a halt. Harme had made up her mind, and was at peace. Robin simply nodded when Harme bade her goodbye. She knew that if she tried to speak, she would only cry. And as the brave woman stuck her hand to the wall, tears spilled silently down Robin's cheeks. She watched her get taken in, and watched the white spread from where her body had been.<br><br>Harme had died doing exactly what she had lived for.<br><br>When the healing was complete and the endless whiteness surrounded them, Robin turned to the Doctor with a curious expression on her face. Half of it seemed ripped apart by guilt. But the other half seemed lost in memory.<br><br>"What do we do now?" she whispered sadly.

				"We wait," the Doctor replied and crossed his fingers. "Theres a chance we'll still be trapped but..." his voice trailed off. The empty void began to fill with color again. The nothing began to be filled with a metal floor and walls, which gradually began to twist into the shape of a space age cock pit. <br><br>"Come on. Come on. Just give me this," the Doctor began to whisper. One of the walls began to grow a clear glass window that looked out into open space. In the far distance they could see a large silver space craft with the words <em>S.S Nightingale</em> printed on the side of it.<br><br>"Doctor..." Rogan growled weakly, his claws gripping his ray gun. "If this ship doesn't kill us all in the next five minutes. I'm going to destroy you."<br><br>"That's nice, but hold off for a minute," the Doctor spoke before turning to Robin and holding up a hand. "Do you feel that Robin?" He asked, the replicator was starting to make an odd groaning noise, the entire room began to shook violently and the view of the space craft suddenly tilted as the ship leaned to the right. For a moment it seemed as if the entire ship would capsize and send them crashing into the ceiling.<br><br>But then the ship began to right itself and the groaning noise ceased. The Doctor ran up to the window and pressed his ear against it before letting out a sigh of relief. A broad grin began to sweep over his face as the ship began to move towards the Nightingale.<br><br>"Oh Harme you beauty," the Doctor spoke before turning to look at Robin and Rogan. "Do you hear it? Do you hear it?"<br><br>For a moment neither of them would know what the Doctor was talking about. Rogan clearly looked like he was more interesting in gunning the Doctor down rather than listening to whatever he had so say. But then he heard what he heard.<br><br><em>"I will save you..."</em> Harme's voice whispered over the ships tannoy system. <em>"I will save you all."</em><br><br>"You beauty Harme! You absolute beauty!" The Doctor cheered before punching the air. "Never underestimate the will of good people. Good people are unbreakable!"<br><br>"What's going on Doctor?" Rogan asked warily, unsure of whether to make good on his threat or not.<br><br>"Harme's alive Rogan. She's integrated with the made of the replicator," the Doctor spoke happily whilst the ship began to slide next to the Nightingale. "There was no way she could possibly be killed by some mindless creature like the replicator, so they combined, and now, Harme is the ship."

				Robin gasped as the replicator began to look like a ship again. Seemingly out of nowhere, color was bleeding into the walls and floors, and then it began to mold itself into a sort of cockpit, full of blinking lights and other spaceship-like things. Hope bloomed in her chest when she thought that they might get out of this after all. Though the look in Rogan's eyes suggested otherwise...<br><br>Then, the ship began shaking and tilting, and alarm flashed over her face. She grabbed the nearest rail and held on, not wanting to be shaken off her feet. As the Doctor spoke, she was confused... She didn't hear anything. It seemed that he was hallucinating or something... but...<br><br>Another gasp escaped Robin as Harme's voice came from the replicator. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks as she stood there, watching Harme direct them back toward the true Nightingale. Slowly, she walked to a wall and pressed her hand to it before placing her cheek against it as well.<br><br>"Harme?" she said softly, hoping she could hear. "I'm so sorry. I know you're alive but... I'm so sorry."

				Harme didn't reply, but Robin got an answer. Light flashed before their eyes and a feeling of weightlessness affected them all. When their feet returned to the ground, the Doctor, Robin and Rogan, were stood on the deck of the S S Nightingale, surrounded by doctors and nurses, that looked at them with shock.<br><br>"Don't apologise Robin," the Doctor spoke as he approached the window of the deck. Now they could see the ship that they had been on in all of its majesty. It looked like a giant featherless bird, with sleek black metallic skin and a large fat body with space age engines built into it. It floated in the depths of space with peaceful grace, staring at the ship with six pairs of calm blue eyes that sprouted from its head.<br><br><em>"Thank you..."</em> the ship whispered before the bird took a sudden nose dive and soared into the open blackness of space.<br><br>"Where is she going?" Rogan asked, his voice strained against the sorrow.<br><br>"To help people Rogan," the Doctor said softly. "Harme has total control over the workings of a creature that can replicate any environment providing it has a blue print. Harme is going to become a hospital that dwarfs the S S Nightingale. She'll revolutionize modern medicine by another two hundred years." <br><br>"But...we saw her die," Rogan spoke with a growl and cast the Doctor a hateful glance.<br><br>"We saw her sacrifice herself for a good cause," the Doctor replied, not meeting Rogan's gaze. "I saw a brave woman step into the jaws of death in order to save the lives of people that meant a lot to her. Like the small cub she saved from a disease, which grew up to be her most faithful body guard."<br><br>Rogan froze on the spot. His gun slid out of his hands and landed on the ground with a heavy clang. "How did you...?" he began.<br><br>"Oh please," the Doctor replied with a shake of his head. "I noticed the picture of a young leopard cub that she hid those memoirs behind in her office. Who else would it possibly be?" The Doctor asked before turning to face Rogan. "You can believe that Harme is dead and that her death could have been prevented. And if you really want to, you can try and kill me."<br><br>"But Harme wouldn't approve. And you know that," the Doctor spoke solemnly. "So why don't we just part ways here and you can have a long think about what Harme would want you to do." <br><br>With that, the Doctor turned to Robin and beamed at her. "Shall we go Robin?" He asked before striding out of the room, past the shocked staff and leaving Rogan behind, staring at the spot where the Doctor had once been with bitter confusion.

				The tears never stopped, even when the three of them were transported to the Nightingale. Robin simply stood, crying, as the doctors and nurses looked on in shock and confusion. She listened in silence as the Doctor and Rogan spoke, now and then wiping her hand across her face. It seemed impossible that someone could be <em>that</em> sincerely good.... So good that she had willingly sacrificed her life, only to go on helping people.<br><br>She gasped again at the Doctor's revelation about Rogan. The picture surfaced in her memory - a small, lonely cub, smiling tentatively into the camera. A smile broke through her tears at the thought, and she felt very sad when the Doctor suggested that they leave. He walked off, but she stayed a moment and looked at Rogan.<br><br>Slowly, she walked to the fierce soldier who was standing and looking with reproach at the Doctor's former spot. She smiled at him sadly before she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him for a moment.<br><br>"Thank you for saving us," she whispered. "I'll never forget you. You're amazing." Standing on her tiptoes, she kissed him on the cheek, and then ran after the Doctor. When she caught up, she grabbed his hand and held it tightly. <br><br>"Where to now, Doctor?" she asked, still crying.

				"Where to now..?" The Doctor asked, his tone friendly, but his face hard set. Now he didn't look like the mischievous man that had thwarted an evil person and saved innocent lives, he just looked angry, and it was clear why. He hadn't saved them, he had very nearly got them killed. If it hadn't been for the Doctor's condition, then Harme would not have needed to sacrifice herself, she would have been able to die peacefully.<br><br>"First of all, we get some clothes for you," the Doctor spoke before steering Robin straight into the open door way of a room full to the brim with stuff, clothes, food, pictures, tools, plants, pets, furniture, an uncountable amount of treasures of all different shapes and sizes. And of course, standing in the corner of the room, was the TARDIS. "The S S Nightingales lost property. Seemed a fitting place to park and look! There's my anorak!"<br><br>The Doctor cheered before picking up the blue anorak and slipping it over his shoulders. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his sonic screwdriver before flipping it into the air and catching it, grinning like a kid at his success.<br><br>"Go find something to wear, there's got to be some stuff that will catch your eye," the Doctor said before gesturing to the room. "Once your done, meet me in the TARDIS," the Doctor spoke before crossing over to the blue box and stepping inside. "Then I can take you home," he spoke quietly before the door slammed shut.

				As the Doctor disappeared into the TARDIS, Robin rolled her eyes and wiped the tears from her face. It seemed she had stopped crying, which made her feel better, and she began to rummage around in the piles of stuff that filled the room. There were familiar things - flashlights, Ramones t-shirts, lone socks - but there were also things that were so strange she wasn't even sure what she was looking at. Slithery things that seemed to constantly change consistency, a ball of pulsing blue light...<br><br>She picked up a little golden pin off the top of an old wooden desk. Fascinated, she looked closely at it. It was intricately carved with little circles, all intertwined together almost like some sort of writing. Another image of a woman's face floated in her mind, a lost memory that Robin so badly wanted to remember... Shivering, she set the pin down and tugged on her locket nervously.<br><br>As she reached the corner, she found a pair of bright blue leather pants that seemed to be about her size. With a little smile, she pulled them on under the hospital gown and the Doctor's shirt. They were tight, but fit her well, tapering at the bottom a little. Then she found a simple white t-shirt. Sliding out of the shirt and gown, she slid the shirt on. It was an almost perfect fit, if a little tight as well. Her face brightened as she found a pair of plain silver flip flops in exactly her size, which she put on eagerly.<br><br>On a whim, she looked around for a mirror, just to see how she looked. It wasn't a pretty sight when she found one. All she could look at was the scar. It was a puckered, angry line that reached all the way from her hairline to her jaw. The color was bright red and ugly - almost angry-looking. Another tear streamed down her cheek and she wiped it angrily. Straightening and pulling at her locket again, she fluffed up her blonde curls a little and walked into the TARDIS.<br><br>"I know it's a little disco," she said as she closed the door behind her, "But they were the only pants I could find that fit me. Oh, and also, there is no way in hell that you're taking me home now."

				The Doctor had been checking over his tools whilst Robin dressed. More than ten glittering objects lay on a slide out table that was built into the seemingly wooden frame of the TARDIS's control pad. He gazed over them, tenderly fiddling with the tools whilst programing co-ordinates into the TARDIS with his free hand.<br><br>"Lets see... Sonic Screwdriver, Laser Spanner, Psychic Wrench, Special Straw, Quantum Drill, Ganymede Driver, Mergin Nut, Opra Glasses, Psychic Paper, really big hammer..." He rattled off as he counted the tools.<br><br>He didn't look up as Robin entered, he just continued to organise the bizarre collection before gradually pocketing them one by one.<br><br>"You look lovely," the Doctor spoke softly, even though he wasn't looking. "And I am taking you home. Ever since you met me you've almost been killed, you've been scarred, tortured, frightened to your core and to top it all off you're now going to blame yourself for something that was entirely my fault."<br><br>He shook his head before turning to the TARDIS console and violently bashing down on a few of the buttons. "I should have left you alone. I should have stayed by myself the moment I woke up in the TARDIS with no memory. I shouldn't have poisoned your life."

				As he spoke, Robin placed her hands on her hips and listened. Her lips were a thin line, and she rolled her eyes on more than one occasion. When he finished, she stood for a moment more before speaking up.<br><br>"You done?" she asked sarcastically. Then, with a decisive stride, she walked up to the Doctor and turned him to face her. Looking up into his ageless face, she poked a finger, hard, into his chest. "Listen here you big, stupid, amazing alien. You think you have the right to tell me what to do? Yeah, I've been nearly killed and tortured and scared. So doesn't that give me my own choice?" Her eyes narrowed.<br><br>"I don't care about any of that. No matter what's happened, or what will happen in the future, I will <em>never</em> wish that you would have just 'left me alone.' You are the most extraordinary thing that's ever happened to me. And I'm greedy, so I want to stick around. So you just hear what I'm saying, Doctor, because I'm not leaving. You don't make decisions for me. I left you once and immediately regretted it. Now, I'm not giving you up." <br><br>With that, she turned and strode to a rail that stuck out from the control panel and sat on it with determination. She crossed her legs and looked at him expectantly.

				The Doctor stood by the TARDIS's control panel with one hand on a button. He had been intending on pressing the button and sending the machine back to Robin's time, but when she finished lecturing him he instead lifted his hand off the button and pulled down on a large lever, bringing the TARDIS to a sudden halt.<br><br>"Why have you got to be so stubborn Robin?" The Doctor asked with a frustrated groan and ran a hand through his blond mop. "You don't even know me! Heck, I don't even know me! How can you be so determined to stay by my side?" The Doctor asked before crossing over to her and sitting down in front of her.<br><br>"Your mind has managed to get some sneak peaks at mine, but do you really know who I am? What I am?" The Doctor asked as his caramel eyes gazed at hers. "You say I'm amazing, incredible, handsome, brilliant, fantastic and all those other wonderful things... but I'm not any of those things Robin. I'm a destroyer."<br><br>The Doctor looked up at the ceiling of the TARDIS. His hands began to clutch at his elbows as a pained look crossed his face. "I wreck things. I ruin people. I reduce everything to rubble....even my own race."

				Again, Robin simply listened with visible irritation as the Doctor went on and on. As she looked at him, his words seemed to fade away and all she saw was him. Then, even he faded away, and she was plunged into his memories almost as though she had gone down a slide. As the images raced past, his words drifted through her through a fog. <br><br>She saw people and aliens, some looking at the Doctor with awe, others with fear, and a few with pure love. She saw things he had done, good and bad, wonderful and horrifying. Here he was cradling an alien as she breathed her last; there, he was sending hundreds of thousands of creatures into the void of space, never to be seen or heard from again. It made her tremble with fear... But also served to harden her resolve.<br><br>As the images faded away, she looked at the Doctor, tears threatening to spill again. Slowly, she stood and walked to him. She took his hand and looked at it as she spoke.<br><br>"You're right," she said, her voice quiet but sincere. "I don't know you. I know you're dangerous. And frankly, you terrify me. You're big and powerful and you live for... well, a long time, I think. You destroy things and places and people, and you are the scariest person I've ever met in my life." At this, she inhaled deeply, and then looked up into his eyes. A fire seemed to have been lit inside her, and her voice became impassioned as she spoke again.<br><br>"But I know something. I know that you <em>are</em> wonderful. And beautiful, and good. You don't do anything you don't have to... And after who knows how many years, the fact that you are even saying how sorry you are is amazing. I'm sure that anyone else with your life span would forget what even the definition of remorse is. You are incredible, Doctor. You defy everything I think I know about how things work." Her voice broke with the emotional strain, and she cleared her throat before continuing.<br><br>"Also, since you are so destructive... You need someone with you. That's why you invited me in the first place. You need someone with you, to keep you company and keep you from doing something you know you'll regret. You need a friend and a partner. And I'm not any normal person. I've got something weird with <em>my</em> brain that can help you sort out <em>yours.</em>" Nervously, she tugged at her locket again, fingering the delicate gold chain.<br><br>"Now," she said, giving him a feeble smile and smoothing his anorak down over his arms, "stop arguing, because you know I'm right." A single tear rolled down her cheek, and she let it go, smiling up at the Doctor with more conviction.<br><br>"Also, self-deprecation is not a very attractive quality. But I guess you have so many of those you've got to have one thing wrong with you."

				The Doctor didn't make a move while Robin spoke to him. He simply stared at the ceiling, silent and still, like a statue. His ancient eyes gazing into nothingness as he absorbed the words. <br><br>His mind wandered a little. It reached out to the darkest, most solid, memories that he could recall. The pictures of a beautiful planet with a sweet orange sky and silver forests that glowed like jewellery in the sun. Golden fields nestled around snow capped mountains and scarlet deserts and in the centre of it all stood a city, glorious and proud, contained in a glass sphere. A world of pure majesty and beauty...and it had all burned, because of him.<br><br>The details were rough of how he had done it. He knew that he was the last of the Time Lords, he knew they were all gone, but their enemy varied. No matter how hard he tried the Doctor just couldn't pull the parts of the image together. All he could see was a single eye, staring at <br>him with cold malice, uttering a single word that bared so much hate and anger. Yet, despite how much the enemy spoke the word, he just couldn't make sense of it. He couldn't recall the word that he hated so much.<br><br><em>E...X...T...E...R...M...</em><br><br>His gaze dropped to Robin. She spoke of his power, his age, his destructive streak that had branded him as a vengeful god in some parts of history. She talked of all the reasons why she should be afraid of him...and then went on to speak of every reason why he kept going. And why she would be beside him.<br><br><em>E...X...t...e....r....</em><br><br>The word seemed to loose it's power. It faded away and joined the rest of the rabble that made up the Doctor's jumbled mind. He could wait a while longer to find out what the word meant. He could hold on until the end of time. The word wasn't important.<br><br>He smiled at Robin before taking her hand and pulling her to her feet. "That was a test, and you passed" he said before taking off his anorak and pulling on his shirt. "I don't know what I was thinking, getting all mopey. I'm supposed to be jolly and bright, like Father Christmas, not down in the dumps like Edward Cullen."<br><br>He took a moment to flash her that cheeky pearly grin of his and squeezed her hand in his. This girl was just what he needed. A bizarre yet wonderfully stubborn human. Someone who could fill up his life and push away the darkness that resided in his foggy mind. He would take her to worlds she had never seen, dressed in his silly anorak and armed to the brim with space age tools, and she would follow him in her disco dress with that strange necklace around her neck.<br><br>That strange... strange necklace....<br><br>The Doctor shook his head as something pulled at his brain. A niggling feeling that resembled the one that the bad word brought on. Except this didn't make him feel afraid or angry, instead it mean him feel strangely impatient, as if there was something he wasn't understanding even though the clues were right in front of him.<br><br><em>Beware...</em><br><br>"Now!" The Doctor cheered, ignoring the shiver that scuttled down his spine. He jumped onto the TARDIS's console and kicked off his sandals before fiddling at the controls with his hands and feet. It seemed reckless and hardly a safe way of working an advanced machine like the TARDIS, but the Doctor carried on none the less. "We've had an adventure in the present and the future. So why don't we go to the past next? We could go see Elvis live!"

				Robin had to laugh at his comparison of himself to the two famous figures. Her eyes were red from weeping, and she felt a strange sense of dread and excitement, but she was happy nonetheless. As he busied himself pulling on his anorak and jumping about the TARDIS, she sat back on the little rail, just watching him punching buttons with his toes. It made her giggle. Though he was an ancient, advanced alien, he really seemed like a little kid.<br><br>"You're nothing like Santa," she said conversationally. "But you're more nothing like Edward Cullen. I mean, hopefully. If you want to drink my blood, the deal's off." It was nice, teasing him again instead of trying to cheer him up. But being with the Doctor was proving to be an emotional roller coaster, all really intense ups and downs, seemingly from one second to the next. If she wasn't careful, she'd need to find a prescription for lithium to help with the bipolar disorder that was sure to result.<br><br>She thought for a moment at his suggestion of going to the past, and then she shrugged. Smiling at him and scratching at her scar, she said, "I'll go wherever you want to go. Elvis? Sure. Just take me and I'll go willingly."

				"Tried blood once. It really wasn't my thing. I'll stick to cola and tea," the Doctor said before slamming down a lever and laughing as the TARDIS began to make that magical sound. "Elvis Presley, January 1956, we're going to see his first single get released to the adoring fans, but you best not say 'Just take me and I'll go willing' around him. That Elvis plays the field."<br><br>The Doctor laughed loudly as the TARDIS rocked violently. The control panels were sparking, the bronze pipes in the walls and floor were bursting with steam and the screens amongst the controls were flashing with various warning signs, but the Doctor didn't seem to care about any of that. To him this seemed like just a wacky wild ride.<br><br>Eventually the TARDIS grew to a stop and the Doctor hopped down off the console. <br><br>"Robin you're about to see one of the most wondrous stars of music that ever lived. In the centuries that follow Elvis Presley still remains amongst the stars. His songs get remixed and redone by aliens from all over the universe. He's the very embodiment of a legend," the Doctor said as he strode over to the door of the TARDIS and held onto the handle. He grinned broadly at Robin and waggled his eyebrows as he prepared her for the treat. "And this is one of the moments that put him amongst the greats," he said before pulling the door open.<br><br>Just in time for an axe to fly through the open door and shoot past the Doctor, narrowly avoiding cutting off his head.<br><br>"What the...?" The Doctor began and rushed over to pick up the axe that had very nearly killed him. It was a dark grey steel axe with blood splattering half the blade. The handle had leather wrapped around it that looked worn and smelled utterly terrible. "No way," the Doctor spoke before rushing over to the doors and sticking his head out of the TARDIS for a few seconds.<br><br>"Robin, bit of bad news. Elvis is canceled," the Doctor spoke before kicking open the doors to reveal a vast forest dripping with rain drops. Amongst the clearing were several bulky men, dressed in ancient viking armor, wielding axes and spears that were drenched with blood. "Welcome to Northern Europe and the great age of vikings."

				"Well maybe I want Elvis to play my field," Robin said, sticking her tongue out at the Doctor. But she was suddenly almost thrown to the ground as the TARDIS rocked, hard, side to side. Quickly, she grabbed onto the rail and held on until her knuckles turned white. <br><br>"I'm glad you're having such a wonderful time," she muttered as her teeth rattled in her skull. As the sparks started flying out from the console, she flinched and shrank away, but when she saw the Doctor still wasn't worried, she relaxed a little and gave a shaky laugh. <br><br>When everything stopped and it seemed they had arrived at their destination, she hopped down and listened to the Doctor talk. Her smile widened as he walked to the door, but it was replaced with shock when the axe nearly missed his shaggy head. A feeble shout came from her as he opened the doors to reveal a forest and several big, strangely dressed men wielding frighteningly bloody weapons<br><br>"Um, hello Vikings," she said, her voice quiet with shock.

				The viking warriors turned to face the Doctor and Robin, their furious faces giving way to confusion as they stared at the two strangers gawking at them from out of a blue box. Then, after spitting out blood and broken teeth, the warriors let out a roar and charged at them.<br><br>"Bye Vikings!" The Doctor called as he pulled Robin into the box and ran at the TARDIS console. He flipped a few switches once he reached it and turned a cog like device causing the TARDIS to let out it's musical groan and begin to rattle and shake. <br><br>"Phew, that was close. Vikings are a fierce bunch of warriors. Wouldn't want to get stuck here with th-" the Doctor was flung off his feet as the TARDIS ground to a halt and sent the two of them sprawling to the ground.<br><br>For a moment the Doctor lay on his back, staring at the ceiling of the TARDIS with bewilderment, before he sprang to his feet and began to frantically mess with the controls.<br><br>"No, no, no, no..." He muttered, aggravated before grabbing the periscope that hung from the ceiling and looking through it. "Oh, now that <strong>is</strong> interesting," he spoke before taking a step back and scratching his chin. "We're stranded."<br><br>He let the word sink in before he flung himself at one of the TARDIS's screens and gazed into it with confusion. "I just tried to fling us ahead a couple of years and the TARDIS was knocked back down like a bat hitting a tennis ball. Something is sealing off the TARDIS's path through the time vortex. The only place we can travel in is right here and right now."<br><br>The Doctor stared at the screen for a long time. He was clearly confused by the predicament, but yet something in his eyes seemed to spark with interest. Even though the prospect of being stranded here was terrifying the Doctor was clearly fascinated by the turn of events.<br><br>"What on earth could possibly be able to interfere with the TARDIS's journey?" The Doctor asked allowed before turning his head to face Robin. "What are the Vikings up to?"

				Robin felt a surge of relief as the Doctor closed the doors of the TARDIS. those Vikings had been terrifying and disgusting, and she doubted that she wanted to have any sort of interaction with them at all. She resumed her former seat on the rail, watching the Doctor flip switches and do other strange things, smiling at the almost routine feel of it. <br><br>The smile vanished as Robin and the Doctor were thrown to the ground violently. For a moment, she could only lie there stunned, feeling an ache already beginning in her elbow. Getting up more slowly than the Soctor, she felt confused and bewildered. Could something actually stop the TARDIS?<br><br>After the Doctor had spoken, Robin was silent for a moment. He looked intrigued, an she couldn't help feeling kind of the same way. Automatically, her ham reached up and toyed with the chain of her locket. A strange beeping noise faintly prodded at the back of her mind. Beep... Beep... Beep...<br><br>"Doctor," she said, tugging on the little heart on the chain. "Can they do that? Can they stop the TARDIS? What is that beeping noise? And why do you look so excited?"

				"They shouldn't be able to, the Vikings are hardly advanced. They know how to forge the odd weapon, but particle fusion and argon lasers are beyond them," the Doctor spoke whilst carefully examining the controls of the TARDIS. "In order to block the path of the TARDIS there would need to be some serious time manipulation. The time vortex for this period would need to be blocked up like a intercity traffic jam. The TARDIS can't possibly fly if there's so much traffic clogging everything up."<br><br>"So... since the Vikings can't possibly pull off such a stunt, the question is, what can and why is it doing it?" The Doctor asked before beaming at Robin. "And isn't that amazing? We're in a time before blue ray DVDs and yet we're being locked in by some unknown force?" The Doctor grinned and rubbed his hands together, "I can hardly wait to find out what's causing this and why."<br><br>The Doctor skipped to the door of the TARDIS, straightening his bolo tie while he moved, and put his hand on the doors. He flashed a grin at Robin before pushing the door open. He didn't pause to wonder if it was dangerous or if it were wise to step outside when they were clearly in peril. <br><br>And most of all, he didn't pause to ask what the beeping that Robin heard was.<br><br>He stepped out onto wet grass and looked around at the scenery. They were stood in the middle of what appeared to be a village. Their houses were constructed with wood and stone, their roofs slanted thatch and their walls arranged in a neat box shape. Around the houses were boxed off fields of cows, sheep and other livestock and patches of vegetables that grew from rough soil.<br><br>It looked a reasonably normal scene, but that didn't stop the Doctor from leaping onto the ground and planting his ear against the wet grassy floor.<br><br>"Fascinating..." the Doctor mumbled, whilst stroking blades of grass with his fingers.

				Robin had learned by this point to just nod while the Doctor was talking. It was not very often that she understood anything he was saying, but nodding and smiling had worked fairly well so far. That, and running after him when he took off. She cocked her head to the side, wondering about this. There seemed to be a lot of running involved in traveling with the Doctor. <br><br>The beeping noise continued in her head as he spoke, and she was distracted. Soon, the face of the woman was floating behind her eyes, kind and sad... and scared. Robin shook her head, trying to clear it. The woman disappeared, but the beeping continued. As she opened her eyes again, she noticed that the Doctor was no longer in the TARDIS. With a gasp, she ran out and closed the door carefully behind her. <br><br>When she turned, the scene astounded her. It looked so quaint, and peaceful. Little houses, green grass, little pens full of animals. A smile spread slowly on her face. It reminded her of home, for some reason. Then, she saw the Doctor, and she laughed incredulously.<br><br>"Is it legal to fondle grass like that? Shall I give you two some space?"

				"Atmospheric disturbance Robin," the Doctor replied before sitting up and shaking his hands free of drops of rain that soaked the palms of his hands. "The air tastes damp and clammy but the grass has been subjected to an unusual amount of moisture despite the atmospheric conditions," the Doctor said before drying his hands on his trousers. "In other words, whatever is causing the time disturbance has only begun very recently. Perhaps a few days, maybe a few weeks."<br><br>The Doctor looked around at the houses and grinned before rolling up his sleeves. He walked over to one of the houses and knocked on the door, as if greeting a neighbor, before waiting on the door steps with his arms crossed and feet tapping against the wet ground.<br><br>"We're not going to get anywhere by listening to the ground and fondling with the plant life, so we might as well talk to the locals and see what they have to say," the Doctor spoke before the door to the house opened to reveal a young woman pointing a sharp sword at the Doctors throat.<br><br>"Robin, I think I made a mistake," the Doctor spoke before taking a step back as the woman pressed the blade to his neck. <br><br>She was ginger haired and blue eyed, but had all the innocence of a saber tooth tiger. Her eyes burned with ferocity as she forced the Doctor back.<br><br>"Who are you?" She hissed at him, before turning her head to glare at Robin. "You're not here to take my father are you? Because if you are then I'll slice the head from your shoulders."<br><br>The Doctor cast Robin a look of concern. Clearly, with all the irregular happenings that had gone on in the last hour, the idea that someone was afraid of strangers taking their loved ones away was cause for concern.<br><br>"I'm not here to take anyone away," the Doctor spoke calmly. "Especially not the father of a tribe of proud viking warriors," the Doctor said before moving the point of the blade away from his neck with the tip of his finger. "Swords were a sign of status among the Norse. A warrior who wielded a sword was a force to be reckoned with."<br><br>The Doctor looked into the fierce eyes of the woman before scratching the bottom of his chin, "So why would you be so afraid of an experienced Norse warrior being taken away? Surely a fierce brute like your father would scare anyone off."<br><br>The Doctor's musings were interrupted as a howl echoed through the village. The woman cast the Doctor a look of caution before dropping her blade and closing the door in his face.<br><br>For a moment, the Doctor stared after her in confusion. But then, his head turned to the direction of the sound and a frown spread over his face as he looked on to the dark figures that were approaching the village from a distance.<br><br>"Robin, little bit of a history lesson for you," the Doctor began as he stepped away from the door and began adjusting his bolo tie and rolled up trousers. "Viking warriors had a very special set of soldiers known as Bezerkers. They were a group of fearsome fighters that donned wold skins and specialized in working themselves up into a frenzy so that they would pretty much rip their enemies apart with their bare hands when they went into combat."<br><br>The Doctor began to jog on the spot before casting a glance to the group of warriors that approached them on all fours, dressed in wolf skins and brandishing axes and clubs.<br><br>"I thought you may want to know, because there are a bunch of them approaching us right now," the Doctor said before sprinting as fast as he could across the wet ground. "Run Robin!" he yelled as he feet pushed at the damp soil.

				Robin put her hands on her hips as she listened to the Doctor speak. It seemed like he always knew exactly what was going on... He could tell by just touching the grass that there was an atmospheric problem, caused by a time disturbance... She shook her head in awe. Then, looking down at her pants, she laughed a little before hurrying after the Doctor toward the house.<br><br>"I doubt these Vikings will react very well to my bright blue leather -" she stopped, however, as a fierce-looking girl threw open the door and brandished a sword at the Doctor. Slowly, she took a couple of steps backward, not very keen on having that long sharp object any closer to her. She shared the Doctor's confusion... The girl herself was scary enough; one could only imagine how much worse her father would be.<br><br>Robin's head whipped around as the howl echoed through the small village. Worriedly, she looked at the Doctor before hearing the slam of the door. Then he began his strange little movements, rolling up his pants and running in place. Confusion clouded her eyes for a moment, until the Doctor explained what was going on. Then, her expression became alarmed as he sprinted off without warning.<br><br>Kicking off her flip flops, she ran after him, catching up to him after a moment. She looked behind them for a second, taking in the ferocious look of the berserkers, with their wolf skins and the way they were running... <br><br>"What do we do?" she shouted at the Doctor as they ran for their lives.

				"You know that running thing that you're doing?" The Doctor asked as they tore across the damp ground. The howling behind them was beginning to get louder as the warriors drew nearer. "You know how you put one leg in front of the other and push off to make yourself go forwards at an elevated pace?" The Doctor asked before turning back to the pursuing forces and gulping. "Well, keep that up!"<br><br>The two of them ran across the wet grass towards the TARDIS, the Doctor got out his keys to open the wonderful blue box as they ran, but before they could reach the machine several more warriors sprang out from behind it and began running towards them.<br><br>"Make a break for the forest!" The Doctor yelled and pointed to the trees that lay beyond the houses. "And if you feel brave, fight them off! I don't fancy taking an axe to the head! I like my head to be axe free!"<br><br>The two groups of warriors were howling and roaring as they ran at each other. Their weapons were held high and their faces contorted in rage as they prepared for the fight of their lives. They clashed at the centre of the town as Robin and the Doctor leaped into the safety of the great fern trees that outlined one half of the village.<br><br>The sounds of battle between great warriors echoed behind them, but the Doctor didn't stop running until the war cries and howls of pain were left far behind them.

				Even though she was running in terror, she rolled her eyes at the Doctor's sarcastic comments. But continue she did, trying to push herself faster and faster through the grass and toward the bright blue box. She almost started to relax as they drew closer, and especially so when the Doctor pulled out the key and made for the door. Then, however, the warriors were running at them.<br><br>A shriek tore from Robin's throat as she followed orders, running toward the trees. Part of her mind marveled at how easily she was running in the tight pants, thinking they must be made of some more supple alien material that allowed for freer movement. Her heart was racing, and her muscles were protesting, but part of her thrilled at the excitement and she found that somehow, she was smiling.<br><br>Being with the Doctor was turning out to be very interesting.<br><br>As they reached the safety of the trees, she could feel the twigs and rocks cutting into her bare feet. But it didn't matter to her. She continued running alongside the Doctor, only stopping when he did. Bending over, she tried to catch her breath, before looking at the Doctor.<br><br>"What do we do now?" she panted, wiping sweat off her forehead.

				"We wait it out," the Doctor said, panting heavily and wiping his brow of sweat. "If the warriors come after us then we'll have to hide. Hopefully they'll be more interested in killing each other rather than going on a troublesome hunt to track down to weirdly dressed people," the Doctor said before pulling out a paper fan from his pocket and fanning himself with it.<br><br>"Why I don't understand is why there is so much fighting going on," the Doctor said to Robin before turning in the direction of the armies. The sound of battle had long since faded away, but the odd clang of swords and shout of pain could still be heard on the wind. "Yes, Vikings are warrior people and they like to raid villages and slice each others limbs off with big ole axes, but this is mindless."<br><br>The Doctor stopped fanning himself and reached into his pocket for his sonic screwdriver. He began to scan the air with its bright light and whirring noise, it's light illuminating the darkness of the fern trees that dwarfed them.<br><br>"But mindless doesn't seem particularly Viking. They're honor bound people that live for the fight, it's part of their religion, you fight or you're not worthy of living," the Doctor explained before pocketing the device after a few seconds and scratching his roughly shaven chin. "So why are they just attacking each other for no reason? What are they trying to prove?"<br><br>He turned to Robin before walking towards her and grabbing her by the shoulders. "Come on Robin, its time for you to show me just how incredible you are. A group of Vikings attack each other seemingly at random. In Norse mythology the Viking's believe that if they fall in battle they go to a place called Valhalla, a warriors paradise. If they're trying to rip each other apart at random, what does that tell you?"

				Robin missed the first part of the Doctor's speech. The beeping sound was reverberating through her head, making it impossible for her to hear anything else. For a second, she closed her eyes, and heard something else. Her fingers wandered up to her locket, fiddling with the pendant, itching to open it. Whispers weaved in through the beeping sound.<br><br><em>Not yet... Not ready...</em> Soon, it faded, replaced only with the beeping. But that faded too, and she opened her eyes, listening to the Doctor again. His questions echoed through her mind, making her head hurt. And when he grabbed her by the shoulders, it only made it worse. Everything rushed in at once: his intense questioning, his fragmented memories, the beeping - that incessant beeping...<br><br>She tried to focus, but found her vision fading in and out. For a split second, she sagged as though she was going to faint, but she clung to consciousness with all of her might. Her sight swam slowly back into sharpness, and she looked at the Doctor with fright.<br><br>"Um," she said, trying to shake the feeling of dread away, "I don't know... They want to get to Valhalla? They're scared of something here and want to get to the afterlife? I don't know, Doctor, and something is seriously wrong with me."

				"Those are two very possible suggestions," the Doctor said as he held on to Robin. The fascination had disappeared from his eyes, now all that remained inside of them was worry, but he continued his explanation without pause. "The Vikings believed in a hierarchy of Norse Gods and heroes. They considered themselves to be constantly watched by the one eyed god Odin and whenever they went onto the battle field they aimed to do him proud so that they might win his favor and be deemed worthy of entering Valhalla. So perhaps the warriors have got it into their heads that there is some sort of deadline they have to reach."<br><br>"Sounds silly to me. There's no glory in battle. It's just murder for the sake of murder," the Doctor spoke before letting go of Robin's shoulders and frowning. "But never mind that right now. What do you hear inside your head Robin?" The Doctor asked before raising his hands to her temple and lightly pressing his fingers to the sides of her head. "Why do you keep staring into space every now and then? What's going on inside your head that keeps on making you space out without you realising it?"

				Robin waited a moment before answering the Doctor. It took a moment, but she got her feet under her, got her breathing under control, and even found it in her to smile at the Doctor. Shaking her head, she pushed her hair out of her face and swallowed. <br><br>"I'm okay," she said, trying to push the Doctor's fingers off of her head. "Really, I'm fine. I just keep hearing this weird beeping noise. It's distracting, is all. It makes it hard to focus. Sometimes I see a face, and sometimes hear a whispering voice, but really it's the beeping that's so annoying. But really... It's annoying. Nothing else. And then of course I get some of your memories sometimes. Now I know better than to try and tell you about them anymore."<br><br>She clapped him amiably on the shoulder, taking a step back. <br><br>"So about these Vikings," she said, smiling. "They have a deadline. Why? Alien interference? The time disturbance? Or something more sinister?"

				The Doctor watched Robin with a mixture of curiosity and concern. The idea that she heard beeping inside of her head was alarming. The last time he had met someone that had noise running constantly through his head...<br><br>He shook his head of the thought. This wasn't <em>him</em>, this was Robin. Nice, strange, wonderful, <span class="bbc_u">human</span> Robin. It was probably just some interference she was getting from the time disturbance. Possibly it was making her head hear more than it was supposed to. At least...that was what he hoped.<br><br>"Possibly all three," the Doctor said before scratching his chin again. "Hopefully it's something manageable and unrelated to Gods and spirits of the dead. I had to deal with something like that before and I almost blew Egypt off the face of the Earth," the Doctor said before suddenly stretching his arms and legs.<br><br>"Now Robin, in order to get our answers, we're going to need to ask someone who knows whats going on. Now stay with me here, because what I say next is going to sound a little crazy but..." the Doctor's voice trailed before he stretched his body with a groan and grinned at Robin. "How about we go ask that charming woman with the sword about why she thought we were here to take her Dad. It'll require us going back to that mob of rampaging warriors, but I'm sure it will all work out."

				She saw the look he gave her. It alarmed her, and she wondered if she was really okay... Another image flashed through her head, drawn from the Doctor's memories... A man, his head thrown back in crazed laughter. And a drum beat. Robin shook her head again, focusing her attention on the Doctor. Her eyes widened at his suggestion of running back into the battle.<br><br>"Are you insane?" she asked, her voice a little higher than normal. "No, don't answer that, I already know you are. How can you say 'it will all work out'? They're crazed warriors, wearing wolf skins, ready to rip anything that moves to shreds with their bare hands. And even if we do get through them, you think that girl will let us live twice? I don't think your sonic screwdriver is much of a match for a longsword."<br><br>

				"Of course not. It's a screwdriver, not a long sword. It's no match for a blade of steel forged by experts in battle. A sword can cut off our heads in one chop. A screwdriver can't even given them a paper cut," the Doctor said, before holding up his hand to stop her for interrupting. "But, in a contest of putting up cabinets and shelves, the screwdriver wins every time. So in a way, the screwdriver is much more powerful than the sword."<br><br>The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver again and fiddled with a few settings before holding it out in front of him, as if he were fencing with the strange tool, and shaking out his legs from under him. <br><br>"Don't worry Robin. We'll be fine, because we have something the Vikings don't. Brains and wit," he said before flashing Robin that cheeky mischievous grin that oozed with confidence. "If the Vikings catch us, then we'll think up a plan and get ourselves out of the mess before they can let out a strangled growl. And if they still catch us....well, I guess we'll be able to use our wit and laugh about it."

				Robin shook her head in disbelief. Brains and wit. Right. Because brains and wit would defend them so well against men who were, at the current moment, killing each other without hesitation.<br><br>"Doctor, of all of your plans, I think this is the worst," she said, crossing her arms over her chest. But then she thought for a moment, of the times he had saved them, and of his amazing intellect. Then, she sighed, looking up at him again. "But I trust you. You haven't let me down yet, and I trust that you won't now. So lead the way, Doctor." Thinking again, she laughed.<br><br>"Besides, with my ugly face, they might think I'm one of them anyway. Battle scars and all. Maybe they'll connect with me."

				"That's the spirit, although you're far from ugly. Maybe they'll think you're Freya, the Goddess of love and will start hitting on you," the Doctor said before chuckling. "Seeing a Viking try and flirt with you, now that would be something. I've heard that a popular line amongst young Vikings is, <em>Are you a Valkyrie? Because I think I'm in Valhalla.</em>"<br><br>The Doctor laughed lamely at his own joke before leading Robin through the forest. His golden eyes scanned the trees while his screwdriver whirred methodically as he waved it in the air in front of him. Even thought he had been all jokes and chuckles about returning to the village, it was clear that coming out alive was still a top priority.<br><br>Remarkably, the path remained clear and soon the village came into view. The battle had ceased and the area was clear of angry battle hardened warriors....or so it seemed.<br><br>"Oh no..." the Doctor breathed as they stepped into the clearing. Bodies littered the ground. Dozens of them, all warriors, clad in battle armor and wielding weapons that would no longer be of any use. The Doctor let out a sigh and closed his eyes in frustration. "Senseless violence, Robin. This is what is leads to in the end," he muttered before gesturing to the bodies. "In the end after proving honor and fighting for glory, it will all amount to this, a lot of dead people." <br><br>The Doctor sighed again before he looked over the bodies with disdain. But then something seemed to click and the Doctor's brow peeked in curiosity as he gazed at the corpses. "A lot of dead people...goodness there's a lot of them. Have you noticed that Robin?" The Doctor asked before rushing over to the crowd of corpses and rapidly counting them. "Eleven corpses! Eleven dead bodies! That's bizarre!"

				Though she rolled her eyes again, Robin had to laugh along with the Doctor. He knew how to make her feel better, and she was thankful for it. He was a rotten liar, though. Sighing, she followed him through the forest, and her hand flew to her mouth at the scene of slaughter out in the field. Blood and weapons were scattered everywhere, and the Vikings' eyes were open and unseeing.<br><br>She agreed with everything he was saying. It was senseless, violent, and horrible. It seemed hard to imagine, that people could live like this and not want to change it. But when he began to exclaim about the number of bodies, she was puzzled.<br><br>"What does that mean?" she asked, her hands on her hips. "Why is eleven bizarre?"

				"Because I counted twelve warriors when they were chasing us," the Doctor replied whilst checking over the bodies. Scanning them now and again. "This is incredible. All of them are dead, but most of them have died without suffering any wounds capable of being caused by an axe, a sword, a spear or an arrow. They were killed some other way."<br><br>The Doctor's eyes rose and fell on the doorway of the house that belonged to the red haired woman from earlier. The door was opened just a little and two blue eyes were peering out from the darkness, staring at him with fear. The moment their gaze met the door slammed shut with a heavy clunk.<br><br>"Hold on a second!" The Doctor yelled before racing across the ground and banging on the door. "Miss, I need to talk to you! You saw everything that happened here. I need to know what you've seen."<br><br>"Go away!" The woman's fierce voice roared through the door. "I didn't see anything! Now be off with you! Those men are dead and the worthy have been taken to Valhalla! That's all there is to it!"<br><br>"Why did you say it like that?" The Doctor asked curiously, his eyes staring at the door with such intensity that it was almost as if he was staring straight through it. "All these warriors have died in battle. Why wouldn't they be taken to Valhalla?"<br><br>"I said leave!" The woman roared again before the door opened and the blade of her sword came flying out from the dark to pierce through the Doctor.<br><br>The Doctor's kookiness would have made anyone think that he would yelp and stumble at the sight of the blade as it thrust towards him. But rather than flinch back as the weapon sliced at him, the Doctor intercepted it and whacked it out of the palm of the woman's hand before kicking it away. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the doorway. <br><br>The woman was stunned by the display, she still stared at her hands as if wondering how the sword had managed to fly out of her grasp.<br><br>"Miss I'm the Doctor, please tell me what you know. I can help you," the Doctor said firmly, his golden eyes burning as they narrowed on the woman. After a moment of consideration, the woman nodded and stepped back into her house, gesturing for them to follow as she made her way in.<br><br>The Doctor turned to Robin and smiled at her before dusting his hands on his trousers. He was silent as he waited for the woman to be out of ear shot, but when the coast was clear he dashed over to Robin and shook her by the shoulder, practically bouncing with excitement as he said; "Tell me you saw that? Tell me you saw me knock the sword out of her hand! I can't believe I did that! I thought I was going to loose my hand....again!

				Robin sighed as the Doctor shot off again, and stood still for a moment before walking after him. But as the woman opened the door again, she started to run, wanting to hear the conversation. She stopped a few feet back, still wary of the woman's steel, but she could hear what they were saying. Once again, though, her hand came up to cover her mouth as the woman thrust the sword out at the Doctor.<br><br>He, however, somehow batted the sword away like it was a feather, and pulled it out of the woman's grasp. Robin froze in shock, wondering how he had managed to do it. When he ran over to her, she managed to make her expression more neutral, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing her impressed face.<br><br>"I saw nothing," she said simply, marching past him and into the house, keeping her eyes peeled for any other weapons being flung her way.

				"You liar!" The Doctor cried, his shoulders slumping before he gloomily made his way into the house. All whilst mumbling things under his breath, such as, 'She just doesn't want to admit that I'm brilliant.' or 'She should have seen me when I fought the Sycorax in my pajamas'.<br><br>The house was not particularly big and was by no means a comfortable place to live. The furniture was minimal and the air tasted of damp, rot and sweat. There were no separate rooms to the house, just one big space that seemed to encompass the kitchen and master bedroom. Lining the walls were large sheets of stretched leather and furs and sitting in the centre of the room was a large table, littered with weapons and tools.<br><br>Crouched over the weapons was an old man with long mucky hair and a shaggy beard. His face, arms and hands were covered with scars of all different shapes and his leg seemed to jut out at a bad angle, but the man didn't look fearful as they approached. In fact, he looked as fierce as the red haired woman, if not more so. His eyes were aged, but yet the fire had not been lost from them. This man was still a warrior, even in his old crippled state.<br><br>"Astrid, who are these people?" The old man asked with a grunt. "Have they finally come to take me away?"<br><br>"No father, I think they are different," the red haired woman replied before gesturing for the Doctor and Robin to sit at the table. "They are new to the area, they have no idea of what is happening to our land."<br><br>"Then they've been living under a rock," the old man spat before turning back to his tools where he began running a flint over the surface of a long blade. "You two best start getting ready for battle. The Gods are eager to take souls to Valhalla. No doubt warriors will be flooding this village soon enough to prove their worth and be taken to the realm of warriors."<br><br>"Why do you say it like that?" The Doctor asked again as he took a seat opposite the old man. "You make it sound as if those who die don't go to the realm of the dead. You make it sound as if only the victorious get that honor."<br><br>"It's the truth," the man replied with a snarl. "Only the strongest are chosen. That is what the great ones have declared. That is why the fighting has grown so fierce over the last few weeks. Only the strongest can be taken to Valhalla."<br><br>The Doctor cast Robin a look of concern. The words were obviously troubling him. Talk of Gods and magical realms was not very scientific. It went against almost everything the Doctor had ever learned in his long life....as far as he knew anyway.

				Robin looked on through the conversation, trying her hardest not to breath. The air was rank, and there was no breeze to freshen the room. She wished she had some Febreze or Lysol or anything. Her brow furrowed, however, at the old warrior's words. He seemed dejected, or scared, or both. It seemed a strange state of mind for a tough old warrior.<br><br>"Who do you think is coming to take you away?" she asked the man. "And what does it look like when the strong warriors are taken to Valhalla?" She sat beside the Doctor, wordlessly placing her hand against his. For some reason, this place and this conversation held a serious sense of foreboding, or almost dread. It was strange, but it felt like something very bad was on the horizon.

				"The servants of the Gods. The ones who will take us on our final journey," the old man replied before examining his sword. "I cannot wait another moment. It will be good to fight in the realm of Valhalla rather than die of sickness and fall to the cold of Helheim."<br><br>"Father, don't say such things!" Astrid spoke with alarm, before placing a large bowl of nuts and fruit in front of them. <br><br>"I don't fear death Astrid. It is my honor to be taken up to Valhalla. Even if it isn't by beautiful warrior women riding winged horses," the man spat before picking up a steel axe and examining the blade.<br><br>"If you're so eager to go, then why didn't you run outside and join in the fighting?" The Doctor asked, stealing a few berries and popping them into his mouth. "Don't you want to fight and prove yourself?"<br><br>"I already have," the man replied before pointing behind him. "I am an experienced warrior, just like old Dustin who was taken by the Gods the other day. He fought by my side in countless battles. If he's made it into Valhalla then its obvious that I will be taken as well."<br><br>"But yet you have doubt," the Doctor spoke casually whilst munching on the fruit. The man glared at him viciously, but the Doctor continued on regardless. "These creatures that take the warriors you know are different from what you have been led to believe. They scare you, even if you don't want to admit it."<br><br>"That's why your daughter guards the door. She fears you'll be taken and not for the reasons that you hope for," the Doctor spoke, casting a glance at Astrid. "So tell me...what do they look like?"<br><br>"They are the servants of the Gods," the man replied simply, his eyes falling to his weapons.<br><br>"So you keep saying, but you haven't answered the question. You avoided it the moment Robin brought it up," the Doctor spoke whilst staring down the old warrior. "What do they look like?"<br><br>"You'll see them soon enough young man," the old man spoke, raising his axe and examining it in the dim light. "They always come again after a battle has been waged."<br><br>As if one Que a sudden humming sound filled the air and the house began to rattle. Bright light shone through the cracks in the door and sparks began to crackle in the air around them.<br><br>The Doctor jumped to his feet in alarm and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. The light of the device shone through the shadows of the house as he spun on the spot to scan over the ensuing chaos.<br><br>"What is going on!? What is going on?!" The Doctor yelled over the noise, actual fear beginning to surface in his old eyes.<br><br>"They have come for me," the old man spoke before getting to his feet and making his way towards the door. "Goodbye young ones. Take care Astrid."<br><br>"No Father, don't go with them!" Astrid called after him, getting to her feet as she watched him approach the door. A helpless and fearful look on her face.<br><br>"This is impossible..." the Doctor whispered as he thrashed the screwdriver through the air. "These readings are impossible! I haven't seen this type of atmospheric and time disturbance in ages. Nothing I've encountered should be able to do this! It shouldn't be possible!" He yelled before turning to the door and leaping at the old man as his hand rested on the handle.<br><br>"You can't go out there!" The Doctor yelled as he grabbed the man's shoulders, who immediately buried his elbow into the Doctor's stomach and sent him flying back into the table.<br><br>"Watch me Doctor! I will not be denied my glory!" He roared. The light from outside had died down a little and the room had stopped shaking, but the sound of that eerie hum was still present. In fact it had multiplied and become even clearer than before.

				Robin listened to the two men speak, her eyes darting back and forth between them. The man was making no sense... And neither was the Doctor. She sighed, picking up a nut and popping it into her mouth. It was natural, a little sweet, and delicious. She grabbed a couple more and ate them quickly... And then she realized how long it had been since she'd eaten a proper meal.<br><br>Ravenous, she picked up some fruit and ate it too, listening intently to the conversation. It just didn't fit. It didn't work with the way the Vikings thought. Then, the loud humming began, and the house started shaking. Scared, she hopped up when the Doctor did, dropping her fruit to the floor. There was something sinister in that sound. It filled her with dread.<br><br>The Doctor even seemed frightened, and that made everything worse. If he didn't understand what was going on, it meant they were doomed. She cried out when the rattling stopped and the humming grew in intensity. It made that strange beep grow even worse in her mind. She clapped her hands to the sides of her head, trying to shut it out.<br><br>"Doctor!" she yelled as he was flung backwards. Running to him, she helped pull him up, tears streaming from her eyes. "What is happening?"

				"I don't know-" the Doctor began, but then he clutched his head and winced as a sudden burst of gold fire began to grow from his temple. "Or maybe I do know," the Doctor groaned and hammered his fists against the side of his head as the fire began to spread. "No, not now. I can't do this now. I need to be focused!" He roared, just managing to open his eyes enough to see the old man walk to the door and open it wide.<br><br>"NO DON'T GO OUT THERE!" The Doctor yelled with dismay before pointing to him and shouting, "Astrid! Stop him!" <br><br>The woman needed no further encouragement. She grabbed a sword from the table and raced across the room, just managing to catch up with her father and place herself between him and whatever lurked outside the simple brick house.<br><br>The old man roared in protest, but did not attempt to harm his daughter as he had the Doctor. "Get out of my way Astrid! You are disgracing me!"<br><br>"No father, these beings are not servants of our gods. I felt it the moment I laid eyes on them!" Astrid cried, her blue eyes narrowed in a viscous scowl as she stared out of the doorway, brandishing her sword. "They are not of our world and they will not take you!"<br><br>More memories were flooding into the Doctor's head. Things were beginning to make sense as new knowledge settled in place, but the Doctor felt no better about it. He still couldn't make sense of what was happening, but yet he knew in his heart that he would soon and it would be terrible the moment he realised what was going on.<br><br>"Out of my way daughter!" The old man roared again and took a step forward to move her out the way, but before he could even lay a hand on her, Astrid turned on her heel and kicked him in the chest, sending him sprawling back to the ground. "You will not take him you beasts! He is my father and I will not have him taken from me!"<br><br>The beasts reply to her heroic plight was simple, cold and ruthless.<br><br><strong>"EXTERMINATE"</strong><br><br>The Doctor's face fell as the word rang through the room. There was a scream and a flash of light before Astrid's body lit up, her entire skeleton flashing neon green as all the life was extinguished from her body in one agonizing blast. She fell to the ground with a thud, her eyes rolled back in her head and her body limp and lifeless.<br><br>"No..." the Doctor whispered as he stared out at the creature that stood in the door way. A large blue metal machine, covered in silver spheres, with a plunger and a cannon for arms, and a large metal scope for an eye. It hummed as it floated into the room and observed the three of them with it's single eye, as if judging which one of them to kill next.<br><br>"No, no, no, NO! NO! NO! NO!" The Doctor yelled clutching his head between his hands as the gold fire burned his brain and brought back every foul memory of the creature before him; The Dalek, the killer of all, the great enemy of every living thing.<br><br>"WHY!?" The Doctor roared at it, getting to his feet and stumbling towards the turret like creature with a look of absolute hatred on his face. The look on his face was full of more rage than Robin would have ever seen on the Doctor's face. The Wire, the Slitheen, Greme Skindrad, none of them had inspired so much despair and hatred as the creature that stood before them. "WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST BE A BAD MEMORY? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE REAL?!"<br><br>ooc: Good god I've wanted to write this post for so long :D

				Robin felt helpless, with her hands clutched against her chest, fingers laced together. Seeing the Doctor like this was not good, and as the gold fire reached around his head again, she cried out with the pain that lanced through her own mind. Memories of some strange creature surfaced, and the memory became reality as the creature entered the room.<br><br>"<strong>EXTERMINATE.</strong>" It was a simple word, but the shrieking voice in which it was said was terrifying. That voice was full of malice, hatred, and utter disdain. Robin screamed as the thing shot Astrid, lighting up her skeleton and killing her instantly. Shrinking back into the Doctor, she shook in fear, Not knowing at all what to do. <br><br>The thing was strange, covered in a metal armor of some sort with large silver things running up and down its sides. It was a bright blue, which seemed strangely decorative for something so obviously designed to kill. With its various attachments and utterly hateful voice, it seemed to be a machine of war, created to destroy everything in its path.<br><br>Nervously, Robin slid her hand into the Doctor's as the thing seemed to look at them, as if trying to decide who was its next victim. Suddenly, the Doctor wrenched his hand out of hers and ran toward the thing, screaming. With a wince, Robin retreated a few more steps, tears pouring down her cheeks. <br><br>ooc: Ah! I am so very glad you did :D This is exciting!

				The Dalek watched the Doctor with its scope like eye. It's body let out an electrical hiss as it's mechanical limbs repeatedly adjusted. It's gun pointed straight at the Doctor's chest. The creature and the Doctor stared each other down, making no move to attack or even speak, instead they simply glared at each other, as if sizing their opponent up.<br><br>"W-What have you done?" The old man spoke, his voice wavering as he crouched next the body of his deceased daughter and took her head in his hands. He stared into her lifeless eyes with disbelief before turning to the Dalek with a look of incomprehension on his face. "Why did you do that? She wasn't a threat to you, I was going to come willingly!"<br><br>The Dalek's scope dipped to the regard the man for a moment before barking out it's words with a grainy crackling voice, <strong>"She was not necessary!"</strong><br><br>"W-What?" The old man whispered with disbelief. "She was my daughter! She was just a confused little girl that didn't want to say goodbye to her-"<br><br><strong>"SILENCE! She was worthless to the Dalek's and thus was considered an enemy,"</strong> the Dalek spat from it's mechanical mouth before turning back to the Doctor. <strong>"All enemies of the Dalek's must be EXTERMINATED!"</strong><br><br>"Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before," the Doctor growled, his eyes narrowed on the scope. He took a step forward and stared into the glowing eye of the scope, as if to get a better look at the mind of the mechanical creature that stood before him. "Was it too much to ask?" He whispered as he gazed at the Dalek. "Was it really too much to ask, for you to be just a bad memory? That recurring nightmare of days long gone?"<br><br>The Doctor let out a heavy sigh before running his hands through his hair, wiping his face with his palms with one long aggravated motion, "Why do you have to keep existing? Why is it that I must give up so much to beat you and yet you keep on rising? Keep on managing to come back and claim more lives. For your pointless cause."<br><br><strong>"The Dalek's must reign SUPREME!"</strong><br><br>"OH SHUT UP!" The Doctor screamed into its face. "You're cause is so unbelievably pointless! Why can't your evil race just have a little perspective? Why can't you try to try and understand that your cause is the universal equivalent to cancer! Destroying everything even though it will all ultimately lead the destruction of yourself!"<br><br><strong>"Dalek's cannot be defeated. The Dalek race will never be destroyed"</strong> the Dalek snarled back at the Doctor. It's voice sounded enraged, as if the idea that they could be somehow destroyed was unfathomable and thus the worst insult to whatever pride it possessed. <strong>"You are the Doctor!"</strong><br><br>"Yes I am," the Doctor replied with a nod. "And if you had any common sense you would run away right now. You know what I can do. Whatever plan you have cooking I will stop it. It's inevitable," the Doctor said before stepping forwards and squaring up to the Dalek. His eyes burned with golden fire as he looked deep into the creatures eyes, but his expression had lost some of its anger. He had to be calm when he spoke his next sentence. <br><br>"This a friendly warning," the Doctor said softly. "I am giving you one chance. Leave this planet and stop whatever you are doing. Give back the people you have taken," he whispered before gritting his teeth at the creature. "Or I will destroy you all."

				Daleks. She had heard the name, floating around in the Doctor's scattered memories. A name that radiated fear and loathing, just like the Dalek did itself. Robin was standing at the back of the small house, her whole body shaking in fright. She didn't know what to do, and there was no way that she could help. It was obvious that these things were hated by the Doctor... He wasn't even trying to help them.<br><br>He was warning them.<br><br>A thrill ran down her spine as he spoke. Here it was again - the surfacing of the oncoming storm. Though he was unarmed, and though he was dressed eccentrically, he was full of rage and ice and calculating genius. Where the Dalek was a terrifying blend of militant, brute force, the Doctor was far more sinister. Entire worlds had fallen before these metal coated beings... And yet, their race was fearful of the Doctor.<br><br>Robin found herself suddenly very glad that she was&nbsp; on his side.

				The Dalek stood still as it regarded the Doctor's threat. It's eye adjusted, looking from the Doctor to Robin, as if considering whether they were truly a force to be reckoned with. Then, after a moments consideration, it spoke to them in its crackly monotone voice. <strong>"Request, DENIED! The Doctor will be EXTERMINATED!"</strong><br><br>"Then consider negotiations over," the Doctor spat before throwing an object to the ground that he had taken from his anorak pocket. Purple mist exploded around them the moment it hit the floor. The Dalek let out a strangled growl of frustration as sparks began to course the length of its telescopic eye. It's tank like body began to twirl on the spot, obviously blinded by the strange blue mist.<br><br>"Pocket Nebula Storm. It'll disrupt its vision, but only for a few seconds," the Doctor spoke into Robin's ear after crossing the room towards her in two big steps. In his free hand he held up another object that seemed to resemble a futuristic power drill with a solid glass spike instead of a metal point. He pointed it at the wall of the house and pushed down on the trigger, causing a bright flash of twisting blue light to explode from the end of it and swirl against the wall. The bricks behind it instantly vanishing, leaving a clean hole that led to the outside.<br><br>"We have to get to the TARDIS. Don't stop for anything, don't look back, just run!" The Doctor spoke to Robin, before patting her on the shoulder and forcing her through the hole in the wall. <br><br>"Old man, are you coming?" The Doctor called over his shoulder, but the warrior didn't hear him. He was far too busy with retrieving a steel sword and flinging himself at the Dalek. He let out a war cry before swinging the blade horizontally, expecting the steel to clang against the aliens outer shell, but instead the blade melted away in his hands the moment it got within a centimeter of the Dalek's body.<br><br>The old man screamed as the melted blade scorched his hand, before letting out a higher pitched scream as the Dalek's plunger arm slammed into his shoulder and began to suck at the muscles of his arm, crushing the bones beneath his skin.<br><br>The Doctor couldn't help him. The poor warrior was at the mercy of the Dalek, the metal being he had mistook for an agent of higher power. The Doctor was sure that if the Dalek could feel joy, it would be pleased to know that the man had viewed it so highly.<br><br>The outside of the house was no better than the inside. The Dalek hadn't been alone, several more of the turret like beings hovered in the air above, firing bright beams of deadly light at the houses and the people who risked trying to flee in terror. When they saw the Doctor, they turned and immediately began firing at him and Robin, all the while yelling the same hate filled word at him.<br><br><strong>"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"</strong>

				Robin found herself blinded by the mist as well, automatically freezing on the spot and trying to stay calm. She gasped when the Doctor started speaking right by her ear, clapping her hand over her mouth to keep from crying out. Instead, she nodded, turning toward the wall he was pointing the strange object at. When the wall disappeared, she was stunned again, wondering how it had happened.<br><br>Then, however, she found herself being propelled forward, and if she had learned anything by now it was to do as the Doctor said. And so she ran, her feet flying under her as she made for the TARDIS. Screams issued from her as the Daleks began shooting their beams at her, and a few very narrowly missed her as she ran. When the Doctor came to her side, she blindly reached out and grabbed his hand.<br><br>"Doctor, please don't die!" she shouted through the chaos, clutching at his hand as though it alone could save her from the screaming, hateful Daleks.

				"I won't, as long as you promise me the same thing," the Doctor yelled over the sound of the Dalek's cries and the explosions that were caused by their weapons as they shot the ground around them, sending blast of fire shooting into the air as the beams scorched the earth. "We're getting out of here alive Robin, I swear!" The Doctor cried, his fingers lacing around hers as he held on tight and pulled her along towards the TARDIS.<br><br><strong>"Stop the Doctor! The Doctor must be EXTERMINATED!"</strong> He heard a Dalek roar from behind him before another beam shot across his head and drew a flaming scar into the wall of one of the houses. <br><br>Screams were coming at them from every direction. Whatever had stopped the Dalek's from wiping out the entire village before had now become obsolete. Now the village was just a graveyard waiting to be filled with the unlucky residents. The Doctor wanted to do something, but he knew that right now the only way he could help would be to survive and plan his next move.<br><br>With a sigh of relief the Doctor and Robin reached the TARDIS and forced open the doors. Just before slamming the doors shut and racing to the controls, the Doctor took one last glance at the carnage.<br><br>The entire village was burning. The screams had stopped and all that could be heard was the sound of the flames licking at the wreckage and the electronic hum of the Dalek's levitation systems. The Dalek's had ceased firing and now stood in a ring in the middle of the village in an almost ritualistic fashion. <br><br>Standing in the middle of the ring, clutching his damaged shoulder and scolded hand, was the old warrior from earlier. Spewing cursing at the Dalek's and whimpering over the loss of his daughter and damaged limbs. <br><br>For a moment the Doctor believed that the Dalek's had saved the man, taking pleasure in their final kill as they watched him morn the loss of everything he had once held dear, but then the Dalek's began to glow and cast a ring of light around the old man. With one final cry of outrage, the man disappeared in a column of light, followed closely behind by the Dalek's.<br><br>"Now that's interesting," the Doctor muttered before turning back into the TARDIS. "They didn't kill him."<br><br>He sprung at the console and began flicking at the controls with renewed vigor. His eyes were fixed in a blazing stare of determination as he hammered at the controls, causing the TARDIS to emit strange unearthly noises as it warmed up for it's next journey.<br><br>"Go on," the Doctor spoke whilst battering the controls. "You want to know what they are don't you?" He asked Robin, trying to keep his voice calm despite the anger that exploded inside of him. "Ask me if you want. You have a right to know," the Doctor said before stepping back from the controls as the centre of the TARDIS began to glow with golden light.<br><br>"So long as you fly with me. You have a right to know the name of my arch enemy," the Doctor spoke bitterly before turning to meet Robin's eyes.<br><br>So many emotion swirled within his caramel eyes. Lifetimes of anger and pain, built from countless conflict with the destructive species, glowed within the deepest pits of the Doctor's gaze and seared all good humor from his face. It was clear that this enemy was not as simple as a plasmic entity seeking revenge or a greedy alien willing to murder for profit. This was a grudge that had been formed through a lifetime of war.

				Once again, Robin found herself smiling as they ran. Death, destruction, and fire were raining down all around them, and yet... She was at the Doctor's side, running and screaming and trying to save the day. The smile vanished as a beam nearly hit her squarely in the chest, and she focused on running, breathing, and holding the Doctor's hand as tightly as she could.<br><br>She had never felt so relieved to be anywhere as she felt when she ran breathlessly into the TARDIS. Immediately, she sank to the ground, panting and wiping sweat from her face. Her feet were dirty, bloody, and sore, but she was alive and that was all that mattered. Well, that and the Doctor. As he paused and looked out, though, she stood again and looked with him.<br><br>It was strange, what the Daleks were doing. With them looking like this, it was easier to see how a primitive culture could view them as messengers from a higher power. And when the man disappeared, she gasped, wondering what in the world a supremacist species like the Daleks would want with a human. Then, the Doctor slammed the door closed and went to the console. A little frightened, Robin stayed back, not wanting to encroach on his personal space.<br><br>After he spoke, she waited a minute. There was so much anger, hurt, sadness, and loss in his voice it was hard to bear. Robing didn't know how to even go about asking the questions she had... It seemed like speaking at all would break something inside the Doctor. So, she walked forward slowly, and when she reached the Doctor she grabbed his hand. She tugged him to get him to look at her, and when he did, she tried not to be afraid of the timeless anger in his usually amiable eyes.<br><br>"I know what they are," she said softly, avoiding eye contact. "I've seen it in your memories. They've caused you a lot of pain and sadness. But... what did they do in the beginning? I haven't seen that. What makes you hate them so much?"

				The Doctor took a moment before answering Robin's question. The memories he had regained through the partial regeneration still stung his mind and stabbed at the old wounds of his heart. It seemed almost extraordinary how he could forget about the Dalek's despite all they had done to ruin his life.<br><br>"A Dalek is a mutated organism that hails from a planet called Skaro," the Doctor began, taking a step back and sliding down the console until he was sat on the floor of the TARDIS, but at no point did he let go of Robin's hand. "They're a race that has been bred for one reason only; to wipe out anything that isn't like them. To them, different is ugly and must be purged from the Universe."<br><br>The Doctor shut his eyes and breathed in deeply, exhaling slowly as he prepared himself for what he was about to say next, "My race, the Time Lords, they took a stand and battled the Dalek's in a war. The worst war in all of history... The Last Great Time War."<br><br>His eyes opened and he looked up at Robin with a sad smile on his face, "And we lost Robin. We lost <em>badly</em>," he spoke softly, his voice cracking a little and his gaze dropping to the floor. "The Time Lords. My home planet of Gallifrey. It all went up in flames. And for a while... I thought the Dalek's burned with them."<br><br>He shook his head grimly, his voice heavy as the next words left his mouth. "I was so wrong Robin. The Dalek's survived and since then I've battled them again and again and again and again! Just as I have a thousand times before. Every conflict seeming as if it could be the last and yet every time I find myself facing them again and losing more every time."<br><br>The Doctor let out another heavy sigh and held Robin's hand to his forehead, taking comfort from the contact. "I hate them so much Robin. And they hate me even more."

				Robin didn't know what to say. She saw everything as he explained: the fire, the Time Lords screaming, the horrible screeching of the Daleks... A shiver worked its way down her spine. This was a race truly dedicated to destruction. And so it amazed her even more that the Doctor remained with the entire race of terrifying mutants hell-bent on killing him.<br><br>A completely different sort of shiver made her tremble as the Doctor pressed her hand to his forehead. Adrenaline was pumping through her, she was still breathing hard, and her hand was pressed against his cool skin. So without even thinking, she moved forward, pulling the Doctor's chin up with her free hand, and kissed him on the lips. Just for an instant, she felt nothing other than her lips on his; no memories intruded, there was no sound... Just this.<br><br>But after about a second, she realized what she was doing, and pulled back, taking her hand with her. She clapped both hands to her mouth, standing there in shock. <br><br>"I'm... I'm sorry," she said softly, taking a few more steps away. "I never do things like that. I'm sorry. Really. Anyway, so, the Daleks. You've beaten them before, right? Well, how do we do it this time?" Her cheeks were a shocking color of red, and she turned around, looking toward the door.

				The Doctor's words were silenced by the kiss. He made no move to end it or return the kiss, he was but a statue, still and unfeeling. When she pulled away his mouth hung open a little, but Robin wouldn't be able to see the look on his face, for his eyes were hidden by strands of thick blonde hair.<br><br>Eventually, the Doctor got to his feet and turned to the controls, where he began to work on them in silence. Letting a minute or two pass before he spoke to her.<br><br>"Robin," he began, his shoulders slumped as he looked back at her. "You can't do that again," he said softly. "Don't think I'm not flattered or perhaps... tempted, but I've been down this road too many times," he said before pressing a button on the TARDIS control pad. Images of pretty young women began to line the walls of the TARDIS. <br><br>They were all different. One was a picture of a young black woman with dark eyes and dressed in red leather. Another was a women with brown hair and draped in a black jacket with colorful badges. One was a beautiful brown haired woman dressed in an old fashioned woolen sweater. Another was a blonde in casual sweats with pretty red lips.<br><br>The faces went on and on. Each of them smiling cheerfully, but yet the story behind the faces was all to clear.<br><br>"I loved them all in one way or another," the Doctor said, turning back to the controls and running his fingers over them tenderly. "They were the people I lived for. They were my best friends and my greatest loves. Each of them irreplaceable and so very precious to me."<br><br>"And I lose them all. Every time," He said bitterly. "A Time Lord like me can be friends with humans. I can open your world and in return you can honor me by being your wonderful self...but I can't give you true happiness. It never works."<br><br>He flipped a lever and the TARDIS began to play that grinding other wordly tune that signaled that it was in flight. The glowing tube in the centre of the room began to flicker a little as the sounds became louder. Whatever it was doing was certainly more complex than the usual trips through time.<br><br>"So please...don't do it again," the Doctor whispered. "I want to be best friends with you, partners in crime, amigos, that's all. I desire nothing else."

				Robin began feeling more and more dejected as the Doctor spoke, and embarrassment flooded her instantly. She really had never done anything like that before; usually she was painfully shy. The urge to just up and kiss someone like that was completely foreign. The whole time he was talking, she didn't turn around, until the pictures of the women began appearing on the walls.<br><br>She looked slowly at each girl in turn, exhaling slowly. Her expression was a mixture of shock and sadness, seeing all these beautiful faces that had preceded hers... Some of them were familiar - the black woman, the blonde with the brilliant smile, the redhead with the disdainful expression... But one jumped out at her. It was the woman she had been seeing. The one with the light brown hair, small nose, and bright pink jacket.<br><br>She turned back to the Doctor as he stopped talking, hoping that the redness had faded a little and hoping she hadn't damaged their relationship forever.<br><br>"I want to be friends too," she said softly, not looking directly at him. "I don't know what made me do that. Really, I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Promise. And I'm sorry about all your friends..." After letting silence hang in the air for a moment, she walked to the picture of the woman she'd been seeing.<br><br>"Who is this?" she asked, placing her hand gently on the image.

				The Doctor was quiet for a short moment as he flicked a few levers and took a quick glance into the periscope. His gaze drifted to the picture she pointed at before a small smile crept over his lips.<br><br>"One of the most annoying people I have ever traveled with. The biggest know it all of them all as well as a first class snob," the Doctor spoke before walking across the floor of the TARDIS to join Robin at her side. He looked at the picture fondly and buried his hands into his pockets as he began to pace around Robin and tell the tale of the pretty young woman.<br><br>"Her name was Romana - well, no, actually her name was actually Romanadvoratrelundar, but I called her Romana because that's a ridiculously long name for one person to have," the Doctor spoke before grinning at the picture. "She was a Time Lord or I suppose a Time Lady if you want to be politically correct about it. As a young woman Romana traveled with me on many adventures, we explored galaxy's, new planets and got put in the strangest of situations, seriously there was this really weird moment when we encountered a minotaur in a beret down in France. He would ask riddles to poor unfortunate souls that ended up in his lair by falling through the cracks in time. It was such a strange-"<br><br>He stopped as he realised he was getting carried away and cleared his throat. "So...anyway... we parted ways after a while and Romana got involved in Gallifreyan politics and climbed the ladder until she became the Lady President of Gallifrey. By then we weren't on particularly great terms, Romana had become a bit grumpy during war times. But she was always a good friend to me....even in the end, when she had been booted from her throne." <br><br>The Doctor smiled sadly before pressing his fingers against the picture, "She was the only one in those final moments on Gallifrey that said to me..." his voice trailed off for a moment. He swallowed and licked his lips as he forced the words from his mouth. "Go ahead, you big idiot. This needs to end."

				Robin smiled as he spoke of the woman, feeling the nostalgia in his words. He spoke of her with reverence and annoyance and tenderness, like one would a sister or cousin. It was strange, but Robin felt a sort of pull from the woman... Like she knew her somehow. As he continued speaking, she realized something very odd.<br><br>She was crying. Tears were pouring soundlessly down her face, though she wasn't sad or overly happy. Tentatively, she reached up and wiped her cheeks, laughing a little at the sight of the wetness of her fingers. This whole thing had been so strange... Laughing and crying and kissing some random alien she had just met. Something was seriously wrong.<br><br>His last words confused her a little, and she looked at him with puzzlement with tears still running over her face.<br><br>"Go ahead and do what? What did you do?"

				"I ended the war," the Doctor spoke, his voice as hard as stone. He dropped his hands to his sides as his fists clenched. "The final days of the Time War were...insane. The plans that the High Council had come up with were beyond madness. They wanted to break the natural order of creation all for the sake of survival."<br><br>The Doctor frowned before turning back to the TARDIS's controls and crossing over to them. "I had to stop them, but the only way to stop them was to bring fourth Gallifrey's destruction and kill every single Time Lord and Dalek in the hopes of ending the war and saving the rest of creation from our madness."<br><br>He leaned over the controls and placed his hands against the pads, steadying himself against the only thing that he could possibly trust. "My loneliness is my punishment for the crimes I committed... but as you can see my act of genocide was only mildly successful. The Dalek's still survived. It ended only one of many wars that had yet to be fought."

				She felt sad as he told his story... To have to make a decision that huge, that important... It seemed something only the Doctor could ever do. She felt an immense respect for him in that moment. Even after having to do so many horrible things, and after seeing so many people die... He could still hide his ancient sadness beneath a silly, reckless demeanor.<br><br>Robin walked over to him and gently placed her hand on his again, hoping he wouldn't take the gesture the wrong way. Squeezing his fingers gently, she tried to smile up at him through her tears. <br><br>"Hey, at least one good thing came of all of it," she said, "you got to meet me." She laughed weakly at her lame joke, but grew serious again. "Doctor, you made the right decision. Imagine the repercussions if you hadn't stopped the war. I know you always make the best decision... Even if it's hard." She glanced back again at the image on the wall, as if for some reason that statement made her think of Romana.

				The Doctor didn't say or do anything for a moment, but eventually a smile broke across his face and he grinned at Madelin before squeezing her fingers. "I think that meeting you was definitely a good thing to come out of all of this," he said before gesturing to the TARDIS. "Humans always seem to be able to remind me, that even in my darkest moments, there are still-"<br><br>The TARDIS let out an almighty roar as the whole world spun before their eyes. They felt weightless for a moment as they were tossed into the air before they suddenly came crashing down with a hard thump. A loud alarm was blaring through the TARDIS, the controls were smoking and steam was pouring from every pipe and vent in view.<br><br>"Ow..." the Doctor mumbled against the floor. "Just....ow..." He groaned before sitting up, very slowly and looking around him. He stretched out his arms and legs and winced as cracking noises filled the air from his bones grinding together. "We've arrived."<br><br>He slumped towards the TARDIS controls and slammed his hand down on a large red button that silenced the alarm. He closed his eyes and breathed in deep before gazing over at Robin. "Sorry about the journey. I had to lock on to that old coot from earlier in order to navigate the TARDIS through the distorted Time Vortex. It required a lot of power from the old girl and a very rough landing."

				Robin was smiling along with the Doctor, ready to say something in return, but she was soon hovering in the air. She had only an instant to look shocked before she was flung to the ground. Her head rang as it made contact with the floor, and her body felt like it had been squeezed in a vice. She moaned, unable to fathom how the Doctor was able to get up.<br><br>After a few moments, she sat up, putting her hands on either side of her head. "Owwww," she groaned, trying to stand. It was hard, but by bracing herself against the console, she managed.<br><br>"So... Where are we?" she asked, feeling more nervous as her soreness wore off. "Are we... Going after the Daleks?"

				"Of course. I can't let my archenemy abduct ancient Viking warriors for some unknown nefarious purpose," he said before groaning in pain as he hoisted himself to his feet and stretched his arms high above his head. "I don't know what time traveling heroes you've been hanging out with Robin, but if I see my archenemy stealing viking warriors for nefarious purposes, then I'll stop them."<br><br>He crossed the floor and helped Robin to her feet before walking to the doors and pushing them open slightly. He poked his head out the door, little by little, preparing himself for the worst. With any luck he wouldn't need to immediately dive back into the TARDIS in order to avoid the blast of a Dalek cannon.<br><br>His breath caught in his throat when he looked at their surroundings. His eyes bulged in their sockets and his mouth dropped as he looked up at one of the most amazing sights he had ever seen.<br><br>The ground that the TARDIS was perched on was a solid rock cliff face that led up to a dense forest which surrounded the base of a humongous mountain, almost twice the size of Everest. It was an breathtaking sight, but that wasn't what amazed the Doctor. What stunned him was what was growing out of the mountain.<br><br>"I don't believe it..." he whispered. "....that's a Gaia Tree," he said with awe, looking up at the gigantic mass of branches and leaves that towered stretched over there heads thousand upon thousands of miles in the air above them. In the distance they could see a great tree trunk sprouting from the top of the mountain, it's bark the color of granite and surface riddled with bumps and grooves that probably resembled the Grand Canyon up close.<br><br>"And someone's been building something into it," the Doctor said before pointing up at the base of the tree.<br><br>Sure enough, a mass of buildings lay at the bottom of the tree, nestled within it's roots. It was tiny in comparison to the rest of the great tree, but yet it still managed to make its presence known by shining brightly in the light as the sun hit it's silver walls.<br><br>"And look, they've got visitors," the Doctor spat before pointing at the swarm of blue machines that flew through the sky in the far distance.

				"Well, there <em>was</em> this guy once," Robin said sarcastically, "He had an archenemy and let them steal lots of Vikings for completely unknown purposes." She winced as the Doctor helped her upright, knowing there would be more bruises where her others had just faded. Such was life with the Doctor, she supposed. And she smiled, because she knew that she could handle a couple bruises if it meant traveling with this man.<br><br>When the Doctor was stunned into silence, Robin slowly joined him at the door. Her breath was also stolen as she stared up at the view, unable to imagine how high the tree extended into the sky. It seemed an impossibility, for something natural to get that huge. A Gaia tree... She wondered what that meant. As the Doctor spoke, she directed her gaze to the buildings in its roots, and the ships traveling toward them.<br><br>"What's a Gaia tree?" she asked, awestruck by the gigantic thing. "And who's that flying to those buildings? Are they Dalek ships?"

				"A Gaia Tree is a legendary plant. So rare that it's almost mythical," the Doctor said, the grin returning as he looked up at the tree again. "Not only is a Gaia Tree unbelievably huge, but it's also a miracle in disguise. You know why?" The Doctor asked before grinning down at Robin. "Because a single acorn from a Gaia Tree is able to bring self-sustaining plant life to an entire planet. It doesn't matter if the atmosphere is toxic or the place is devoid of water, the plants will grow regardless and make even the most desolate planet a paradise."<br><br>"I never dreamed I would ever see one. Legends say that the Gaia Tree requires a very carefully balanced diet of nutrients and in large amounts, hence why they're so rare to find," the Doctor said before scratching his fuzzy chin. "But... I have to wonder why the Dalek's are interested in it. And just what is the connection between the tree and old geezers from the Viking age?"<br><br>The Doctor stepped back into the TARDIS and straightened his bolo tie. "To answer your other question; No, those aren't Dalek ships. Those are fleets of several hundred Daleks. And they're more than likely about to declare war on the tree."<br><br>Explosions rang out in the far distance as the Dalek's opened fire and began littering the side of the tree with hundreds upon hundreds of laser blasts. The Doctor winced as he watched fiery scars leap from the wood of the tree, for a moment it seemed like they were in danger of the Dalek's bringing the whole thing down on top of them.<br><br>But then, just as the Dalek's rained down another volley of shots on the tree, a bright flash of white light lit up the area. Rays of white bounced off the surface of the silver building and scanned over the Dalek fleet, causing them to burst into flame and explode into tiny balls of fire.<br><br>"Oh...now that's just incredible," the Doctor said with relish before jumping back into the TARDIS and tapping at the buttons. "A Gaia Tree that can fight back against a Dalek fleet. Now that is amazing. It's no wonder the Dalek's want in when there's so much fire power protecting that little building hidden away.

				Robin smiled up at the huge tree. It really did seem like a miracle, there in front of her. A desire to see the top seized her, but she doubted that would ever happen. It was probably a rather dangerous climb to the top.. Especially with so many Daleks racing toward it.<br><br>"It's a beautiful tree," she said, wincing along with the Doctor as they watched the Daleks shoot the tree. "Why would they want to kill it? It seems like... if their planet was destroyed... Wouldn't they want a living seed of the tree? To maybe make plants on a new planet for themselves? Why kill the tree when they could just take a seed?"<br><br>But she saw why when the buildings at the base let go with its powerful beam, wiping out hundred of Daleks in a single second. She gasped, amazed. The war-crazed machines didn't seem so easily defeated... The power behind that beam must have been something ridiculous.<br><br>"What's going on?" she asked incredulously.

				"Dalek's don't care about restoring Skaro to anything more than a radioactive wasteland of burnt red rock," the Doctor called back to her from the controls. "I seriously doubt they would ever consider growing plants on their planet, unless they were capable of gobbling up planets and shooting nuclear war heads out of their petals."<br><br>"As for how that beam took them down, I don't know. Technology that can tear through an entire fleet in one shot is hard to come by," the Doctor said before turning a crank on the board and kicking one of the pipes. "But it won't keep them down, the Dalek's will call down bigger guns and keep blasting the tree until they have what they came for."<br><br>"So why don't we go and get a closer look and see if we can find out why they're so eager to get in?" The Doctor asked before grabbing hold of the controls. "I would hold on to something if I were you. This is going to be a bumpy ride," he spoke before the room lurched and shook as if an earthquake were rocking the deck of the TARDIS.

				"Well, I was just wondering," Robin muttered, wishing she was able to say the right thing for once. For some reason, she really wanted to impress the Doctor, and she felt she was falling short time after time. With a pout, she sat on her rail again, looking at the Doctor kicking and pushing things into place. When he told her to hold on, she did, still almost getting knocked off the rail by the excessive shaking of the TARDIS.<br><br>"Doctor," she said, her voice vibrating along with the interior of the TARDIS. "We don't have a giant Dalek blaster. How are we going to get a closer look without getting blasted by thousands of Daleks?"

				"Simple!" He called over the rattling of the mechanics and the cosmic whirr of the TARDIS. "Whats a common thing for a burglar to do when he's trying to break into a house so that he won't be noticed?" He called before letting out a grunt as the TARDIS violently shook left and right before coming to a sharp halt.<br><br>"You use the back entrance!" The Doctor called before walking over to the doors of the TARDIS and pushing them open to reveal the side of a cliff face, a large gaping cave and a gigantic root the size of a subway train. "Dalek's are all about proving their dominant. They'll blast at the tree until their firepower gets them through. Anything less would embarrass them, if they were capable of such a thing."<br><br>A loud explosion rumbled the distance and a quick flash of light lit up the area when the Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS. He frowned and looked up at the Gaia Tree with a frown. Although he couldn't see the ensuing battle on the other side of the tree, he knew what had happened.<br><br>"They've taken down one bit of the defense measure," he said. "We to follow the path quickly. I reckon there will be other defensive measures, but the Daleks will get through them."

				Robin simply shook her head in amazement, still holding on to the rail for dear life. <em>Right, simple,</em> she thought, <em>Just fly toward the impending destruction of a giant, impossible tree... and use the back entrance to get even closer to a fleet of destructive, war-crazy mutants who have a huge vendetta against you. Of course. Why didn't I think of that?</em><br><br>Somehow, she kept her thoughts to herself, not wanting to distract the Doctor. Wincing as he opened the door and the blinding flash of light filled the TARDIS, she nevertheless joined him just outside. The root was an astounding size, and the cave gaped open like the mouth of some prehistoric monster. When she stood next to him, she slid her hand into his, linking their fingers together.<br><br>"Okay," she said quietly, stunned by the immensity of the tree. "I'm ready." And in the back of her mind, the beeping started again, rhythmic and regular and incessant.

				"Are you sure? You could always stay in the TARDIS," the Doctor said reassuringly. "I mean, you miss me being incredible and wouldn't be able to tell the story of how I managed to defeat an armada of Dalek's and save the universe, but if you really want to you can go back to the TARDIS. I think there's a nice jigsaw in there that you could complete while I'm out and about."<br><br>He grinned at Robin and waggled his eye brows before sprinting into the cave, trusting that she would follow. Who could possibly resist coming on an adventure with him? Even if it was terrifying.<br><br>The cave they ran into was dark and spooky to begin with. Strange creatures that slightly resembled bats hung from the rocky ceiling and whistled like boiling kettles as he ran past. As they traveled further into the dark they began to find their way illuminated by luminous green orbs that lined the walls of the cave neatly.<br><br>"Someone was expecting us to find this place," the Doctor said as the glow washed over them. "You don't fit ever burning globes inside the walls of a cave unless you were planning to have visitors," the Doctor said before scratching his chin as he looked up at the lights. "This place gets more mysterious by the minute. The Daleks kidnap Viking Warriors and bring them to a Gaia Tree that seems to have had some sort of base built into it. It's a good idea, the Gaia Tree is a sturdy place to build a house, yet..."<br><br>The Doctor paused before rubbing his forehead as he thought over the events that had passed. "This whole set up....it reminds me of a really old tale. A legend that gets retold in every world and every faith," He shook his head before continuing onwards. "But that can't be... it seems far too unlikely."

				When the Doctor sprinted away, Robin followed immediately. This time, there was no hesitation, no thoughts, just following. She had to see what was inside; she had to know what he was up to; she had to be part of this event that was so sure to be amazing.<br><br>"The puzzle sounded appealing and everything," she said as they entered the cave, "But I figured I might as well come with you." But she stopped talking as the darkness enveloped them, and gulped when she caught sight of the strange things hanging from the walls. It was with great relief that she saw the way ahead was illuminated by some sort of weird, green light. <br><br>The orbs were fascinating, unlike anything she had seen before. But then again, she was in a cave at the bottom of an impossibly huge tree, trying to stop an army of creatures that had survived despite countless attempts on their destruction. So she supposed a couple of orbs filled with an unwavering green light were probably the <em>least</em> strange things she had seen since meeting the Doctor.<br><br>As he spoke again, she listened with interest. The beeping in her head was growing louder, but her ability to tune it out was growing stronger at the same time. <br><br>"Well," she said as he finished, "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. So, what's this story you're talking about?"

				"Well, Sherlock Holmes, it goes like this," the Doctor spoke as they continued to make their way down the path. "There is said to be a place that exists as a reward for the best of souls. A mythical kingdom that was created for the most noble creatures in the universe to go to when they reached the end of their life."<br><br>"I know what you're thinking, <em>this sounds an awful lot like heaven</em>, well that may be true. For you see some people believe that this incredible place is the reason why so many cultures have a paradise. The Greeks had the planes of Elysium, the Catholics and Christians have heaven, Islam has Jannah, Egypt had Aaru and the Norse had Valhalla."<br><br>"It's a good theory, but the place I speak of isn't a location you reach in death. It's an actual physical place which many have said was constructed in the far future and then sent back into the past until it reached the very start of time,"<br><br>"And this could be the place Robin..." the Doctor said with wonder, his smile stretching across his shaggy cheeks. "This could be the kingdom of ultimate reward. The mystical place that has touched every race in the universe. Many religions speak of a shining kingdom or a great mountain or even a giant tree that connects the planes together. Heck, Norse mythology believes that the great tree is what connects Earth to several different dimensions. Their tales are the closest of all of them. It would explain why the Dalek's were able to convince the Vikings that they were taking them to Valhalla."<br><br>The green light that lit the way intensified as they stepped out of the darkness and came out in front of a huge set of metal double doors with a glowing red emblem printed on its surface. In front of the doors swirled a wall of flame that burned without smoke or heat.<br><br>"Imagine it Robin, beyond those doors could lie a heroes paradise," the Doctor said, grinning from ear to ear as he approached the swirling flames.

Well, if it's supposed to be like heaven, how come things so hateful like the Daleks can come here? It doesn't seem fair." The beeping noise at the back of her head grew louder as she approached the heatless flame, almost sounding like a warning. She shook her head in irritation.<br><br>"Doctor, this beeping in my head is really getting annoying," she said. "If it doesn't stop I might lose my mind. If I haven't already." Nonetheless, the flames in front of the door seemed to call to her. Come closer... So she did. Her feet pulled her in, closer and closer to the flames. <em>Heaven could be behind these doors,</em> she thought, holding a hand out...<br><br>And as she touched the flames, she was flung back violently. Nothing hurt, but she hit the ground hard, her head ringing again. With a groan, she sat up, looking dazed up at the Doctor.<br><br>"If this is Heaven, I must have done something very, very bad."

				"Your missing the point. It's not that this place is heaven, its just the location that inspires the idea of it," the Doctor replied whilst bending down and picking up a stone that lay at his feet. He moved it between his fingers before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a very large magnifying glass that seemed far too big to fit in his coat pocket. "If this place is the same place from the old stories, then inside it will be a heroes reward. Secrets, treasures, peace, perhaps even eternal life. The list of possibilities is endless."<br><br>The Doctor smiled as he turned the rock in his hand and gazed at it through the thick glass lens, "Amazing, even the rock is made from super dense Silverite, one of the most expensive rocks in the galaxy. Even the ground is legendary. This really could be the place... the realm that the Norse revered as Valhalla."<br><br>He blinked and looked up from the rock as Robin's words finally sunk in and turned towards her, "Wait Robin, hold on a second, what did you say about the beeping getting loud- WAIT, ROBIN!" The Doctor yelled and dropped the tools as he watched Robin sail through the air and land in a heap.<br><br>"You crazy girl! You could have been killed!" The Doctor yelled as he swooped to her side and checked her over, letting out a sigh of relief when he realised that she hadn't been seriously hurt. "Interesting...non-lethal security system. That's a big change from the death ray the Dalek's encountered," he said before helping her to her feet, all whilst staring at the flames with interest.<br><br>"I wonder..." he whispered before marching towards the flames and extending his hands. They pressed against the fires and for a moment the Doctor flinched as the flames consumed him, curling around his body and sweeping through his clothes.<br><br>He felt no pain, but he was glad when the fires died down and vanished into the ground before the doors ahead of them slowly opened with a loud creak.

What use are you?" She ran her hands over her body, making sure she had no embarrassing rips or tears in her clothes. Everything seemed fine, and she smiled when she looked down and saw she was still barefoot.<br><br>"Maybe there will be some shoes in there for the weary adventurer," she said, before shouting as the Doctor walked toward the flames. "Are you crazy? You saw what-" she was cut off, however, as the flames harmlessly licked over him, before vanishing. The huge doors began to open slowly, creaking.

				"Don't be like that. I had no idea if that would work or not. It was just a hunch," the Doctor said with curiosity as he examined his body, as if checking if any part of his body had been set ablaze. "If anything you should be glad that it only worked for me. Chances are it's a terrible thing that it did and it's going to bite me in the neck later on."<br><br>The sudden scent of peppermint and crispy cool air made the Doctor look up and face the open doorway with interest. His mouth hung open a little at the sight that the iron doors had revealed. In the doorway was a great open area with immaculately clean white walls and markings of pure gold lining every single one of them. In the centre of the area was a large replica of a golden mountain, complete with a running lake of crystal water and lush green trees. The air shimmered slightly with an array of colors, almost as if the air itself were a prism of refracted light.<br><br>But what made the Doctor stare was not this scene of luscious beauty, but the company that it kept.<br><br>Moving towards them at a calm and steady pace, was an ancient looking man with long grey hair and a bushy beard, dressed in the garbs of a Scottish warrior with a sword laying across his lap. He was seated in a wheel chair, which was being pushed along by a white humanoid robot with a spherical head and large plushy hands.<br><br>"That's impossible..." the Doctor breathed as he took a step towards the old man being wheeled towards him. "You're dead. You died," he whispered before reaching out slowly. <br><br>The man in the wheelchair didn't move or make any sign of registering the Doctor. His eyes were milky and expression vacant, it seemed that he was far too old to understand what was going on around him, but the Doctor didn't let that stop him from walking over to him and kneeling in front of him before taking his hands.<br><br>"Jamie..." the Doctor whispered, trying to keep his voice level. He had a torn look on his face, as if he were unsure of whether to be happy or sad to see the person in front of him. "Jamie McCrimmon. I can't believe it."

				"Well, next time we encounter a random wall of swirling flame, I'll make sure to let <em>you</em> touch it first," Robin mumbled before being struck silent by the view afforded when the doors opened. It was magnificent - a huge, golden mountain, teeming with plant life so immaculate it seemed impossible. The air was a shimmering spectacle of light, making it so that any way you turned your head, a different view awaited you. Brooks and streams murmured to each other as they ran. Gold lined the the spectacular white walls.<br><br>As the Doctor spoke, her gaze was drawn toward the immensely old Scot and the strange robot who guided him. The man looked like an old-fashioned Scottish warrior, with sword and all. The robot seemed far more interesting to Robin. It was white, with its head a spherical shape and its body fashioned after that of a human. Its hands seemed to be made of a different material, but&nbsp; Robin was distracted again as the Doctor spoke to the man in the wheelchair.<br><br>Memories surfaced in her mind again... Memories of a courteous younger man dressed in the same sort of attire. So this must have been another one of the Doctor's former companions... Robin walked forward and knelt beside the Doctor, looking up at Jamie. <br><br>"What is he doing here?" she whispered.

				"I have no idea, Jamie died a long time ago when he destroyed the Worldshaper and saved the universe from the Vord who were-" The Doctor stopped when he realised that he was rambling and none of this would make sense to Robin. He gave her a weak smile and shook his head with a low chuckle. "He saved the universe and died a hero," the Doctor spoke before looking at Jamie and smiling. "What are you doing here Jamie? Don't take this the wrong way, but why aren't you dead?"<br><br>The Robot behind Jamie lifted one of it's over sized hands and placed it on Jamie's shoulder. It spoke to the Doctor with a friendly musical voice, <em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Come on Doctor, you know that nothing can kill a McCrimmon."</em><br><br>The Doctor threw back his head and howled with laughter before leaning forward and carefully wrapping his arms around the old man. "Oh my word, Jamie McCrimmon, I don't care that you look like a boiled prune, it is so good to see you!" The Doctor exclaimed, his eyes watering a little as he embraced the old Scott.<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'We have a lot to chat about Doctor. Follow me, we'll talk about it all over a print. Bring your lass too!"</em> The robot spoke, trying it's best to imitate Jamie's thick accent. It turned Jamie towards the entrance to the base again and pushed him forwards gently.<br><br>The Doctor grinned at Robin, wiping his cheeks of the tears of joy that had fell.<br><br>"Sorry, the last time I saw him..." His voice trailed off and he swallowed a hard lump that formed in his throat. "I've lost so many good people. I can't tell you how amazing it feels to know that one of them managed to survive."

				Robin smiled sadly at the Doctor's story of the man in front of them. It seemed that everyone he met was willing to risk their lives for him, on the hope that what they were doing would save the universe. Then Robin found herself wondering exactly how many times the universe had been in danger... Shaking her head, she laughed along as the robot gave Jamie's answer. <br><br>"I am not <em>his</em> lass," Robin said stubbornly, not looking at the Doctor. But something in his voice made her turn to him, and she saw with a shock that he was crying. Her heart went out to him; she wondered how many people he had watched die in his long, long life. Silently, she took his hand and smiled. <br><br>"Shall we?" she asked, gesturing after Jamie and the robot.

				"Just try and stop me," the Doctor replied before looping his arm in Robin's and walking her into the base after Jamie.<br><br>The doors closed behind them with a clang and at once soothing music began to fill the air. Jamie's robot companion raised one of its arms in the direction of a wall and let out a series of beeps as the wall slid away to reveal another gold an white room, even more vast than the previous one and filled to the brim with treasures.<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'You should really try some of the grub they serve here, Doctor. Almost every statue in this place is edible,"</em> Jamie's robot said cheerfully whilst wheeling him past a set of sculptures of famous land marks on Earth. The Doctor looked at a metre high replica of Big Ben with curiosity, before pulling off one of it's clock handles and popping it into his mouth.<br><br>"Wow...a chocolate replica of Big Ben. Very mad sciencey, but not exactly the type of thing you would expect in heaven," the Doctor said before looking at Jamie. "Where are we Jamie? What is this place?"<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Just look out the window Doctor, you'll get it the moment you see it."</em> <br><br>The Doctor turned to look out the long glass window that stared out into a vast indoor forest with a built in clearing that was littered with picnic tables and barbeque equipment. Standing in the clearing were two beefy men, accompanied by the same robot companion as Jamie. They too were old, but perhaps not as withered as him, and were dressed in warrior garments. One was a British soldier in a green military uniform, while the other appeared to be an American. In their hands they held swords and shields which they used to bash and slash at each other with savage ferocity.<br><br>"Hold up...are those members of UNIT?" The Doctor asked with disbelief.<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Correct, Corporal Higgins and Lieutenant Myers. They both helped to defend the Earth from an invading force of mind controlling spores and track down their source. They saved six billion lives, but that wasn't the only tale of their heroics. They've got a list of achievements that could rival you or me."</em><br><br>"I heard of them. Never got the pleasure of meeting them. They vanished mysteriously in two thousand and-" the Doctor paused before turning to look at Jamie and then turning back to the old men, fighting away with big smiles on their wizened faces. "Wait...I think I'm starting to get this."<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Told you so'"</em><br><br>"You died, yet here you are. There are heroes fighting in this place that seems to be built to cater to their every whim, even if the whim is something silly like chocolate clock towers," the Doctor turned on the spot and began to pace back and fourth, building momentum as he pieced it all together. "The Dalek's are gathering warriors who are viewed as heroes. They abduct an old injured warrior in the hopes that he'll be able to get into here, because he's the type of person this place is built for. Old warriors."<br><br>The Doctor let out a chuckle before turning to Robin. "Do you get it Robin? This isn't Valhalla or Heaven or Elysium," he said before smirking. "It's a retirement home."

				Robin was again shocked into silence as they walked into the second room. It was grand and beautiful and idyllic, with music softly playing in the background and tiny little birds chirping musically over their heads. Things were heaped in piles around the place: gold and silver pieces, chalices, statues, beautiful things only conjured up in the greatest of imaginations.<br><br>When she heard Jamie (well, the robot) say that the statues were edible, she broke off a piece of the Eiffel Tower to her right and placed it on her tongue. It was a rich, dark chocolate, better than anything you could find on Earth. Part of her wished she could stay here forever... But she knew this particular journey would be over faster than she hoped.<br><br>As they looked outside, she was astonished to see that there were two old men going at each other with swords. They seemed far too aged to be as agile as they were, but they looked like great warriors. Then, the Doctor pulled away from her and began pacing, his pace growing quicker with each loop. He seemed to be piecing something together in his mind... Something that obviously was escaping Robin.<br><br>Then, he made his revelation. Robin's mouth slowly split in a wide grin, and she started to giggle like a little girl.<br><br>"So, does that mean," she said, unable to stifle her laughter, "That this place knows you're secretly an old crotchety man, and you need to hurry up and get it over with already?"

				"Oi, don't be cheeky! I'll have you know that one thousand and ninety is the new seven hundred and five," the Doctor pouted, waggling his finger at Robin for a moment before looking around the room once more. "But...that does make a little sense. That must be why I was able to open the door. We've both done heroic things but you're much much much much much much much much younger than me. This is a senior citizen only location."<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'This castle was built by some unknown beings from the future for one reason;</em> 'To give old warriors a heroes fair well.' <em>The... how do they say it? The, </em>Telepathic Matrix<em> is used to reach out to heroes from all over the galaxy and bring them to this place. You see, the Gaia Tree that grows here only sprouts an acorn once every thousand years, but the technology that this castle provides allows us to speed up the process by gradually draining our life force."</em><br><br>"What?" The Doctor exclaimed, looking at Jamie with horror. "Jamie, that's barbaric!"<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Not at all Doctor. In a way its a mercy. The warriors they bring here are always on the verge of death. While its drain our life force not only do we feel not feel any pain, but our life span is increased by just a little due to the technology that sustains us."</em> Jamie was turned to face the Doctor as he explained. His expression remained the same, but his resolve could be heard in the translation. <em>"When I was brought here, I had aged too much and was pretty much on the brink of death, I thought that I had nothing left to savor, but then I was given this chance to help a dead planet rebuild itself. Not a bad way to die if you ask me."</em><br><br>"You're a good man Jamie McCrimmon," the Doctor spoke. "Impossible and still as thick headed as you were back when you traveled with me, but you're a good man." An impish grin spread over his face before he knealt down in front of him again. "I met you're descendant a while ago. Right before I regenerated for the tenth time. Heather McCrimmon. She came with me on a few adventures, just as incredible as her ancestor."<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'No way? My whee ones are still fighting the good fight? Doctor, we have to celebrate!"</em><br><br>"And we will Jamie, but we have to deal with this problem first," the Doctor said before standing up and walking over to the other side of the room, where a television screen lay dangling between two pieces of artwork. The Doctor pulled out his screwdriver and began to fiddle with the screen, which flickered and buzzed before forming a picture.<br><br><strong>"You will open the gate!"</strong> The harsh voice of a Dalek barked. On the screen was the scene of a long line of viking warriors, standing before a great door, similar to the one that the Doctor and Robin had encountered earlier. Six Daleks stood next to them, guns pointing at each of them<br><br><em>"I can't! If it didn't open for Dustin then it won't open for me!"</em> The young warrior at the front of the lie protested before yelping as one of the Dalek's shot at his feet.<br><br><strong>"You will open the GATE! You will OBEY!"</strong><br><br><em>"Please...it's not going to work!"</em> The man cried helplessly.<br><br><strong>"If you refuse you will be EXTERMINATED!"</strong><br><br>The young warrior sniffled before slowly edging forwards and pressing his hands into the flames. Just like Robin, he flew back and crashed into the line of warriors, knocking them over like dominos.<br><br><strong>"You have FAILED!"</strong> One of the Dalek's growled, turning its eyestalk to gaze at the fallen warrior. <strong>"EXTERMINATE him!"</strong><br><br><em>"Wait! Hold on!"</em> The warrior yelled before the screen filled with light as all six Dalek's fired their weapons. Multiple screams echoed from the television as the beams struck not only the young warrior, but any unfortunate to be caught in the crossfire.

				"Well, at least you recognize the fact that a facility inside a giant tree knows you for what you really are: a senior citizen," Robin said, sticking out her tongue at the Doctor. But his words stuck with her. <em>One thousand and ninety...</em> Could he really be that old? She looked at him again, wondering at how he was even possible. Shaking her head, she started to walk around the large room, still able to hear the conversation between Jamie and the Doctor.<br><br>She looked at the treasures lining the room. About halfway along the right wall, she stooped and picked up a beautifully simple silver tiara. It was small and dainty, but amazingly intricate. Thin lines of silver wove in and out of each other, making an almost vine-like appearance. Small diamonds studded the lines, appearing at about half-inch intervals. Running a finger along its side, Robin smiled. Someone very special must have worn that crown. Setting it down gently, she moved on.<br><br>A painting caught her eye next. It was beautifully done, and looked like a Van Gogh... But not any she had seen before. It was a portrait of sunflowers, resplendent in a vase, and on the left side of the vase were the words "For Amy, Vincent." She wondered who Amy was before moving on to a miniature of the Statue of Liberty. Smiling, she broke off a piece and ate it. It was cinnamon, and quite delicious.<br><br>Then, she noticed the Doctor fiddling with a TV, and walked back over to join him. She gasped as the Daleks and warriors appeared on the screen. And when they began to kill, she cried out in sadness and clutched the Doctor's arm.<br><br>"We have to stop them," she said. "What do we do?"

				"We figure out what they could possibly want from a retirement home," the Doctor aid before glancing about the room. "Although the technology available here could possibly be incredibly advanced, I can hardly see what the point would be in stealing care giving robots and devices that make edible sculptures and golden furniture."<br><br>The Doctor switched off the screen and turned back to face Jamie, "What else is here Jamie? What do the Dalek's want?"<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Perhaps they want to destroy the Gaia tree and the heroes that feed it. Without us the Gaia Tree wouldn't be able to produce half as many acorns and that would leave many world barren and lifeless,'"</em> Jamie offered in the robots polite and chirpy voice.<br><br>"That's an idea, but sounds something that the Daleks would do to kill time. They wouldn't try this hard to get into this place unless there was something worthwhile inside," the Doctor said whilst scratching his chin. He looked hard at Jamie before walking towards him and perching on a sculpture of the White House, his arms crossed over his chest. "What aren't you telling me Jamie?"<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Didn't think you would believe that, you best follow me Doctor'"</em> the robot spoke before steering Jamie towards a set of circular double doors which opened for them as they approached. Behind the doors lay a mirrored room, similar to the compartment of an elevator, with a clean white carpet and golden buttons.<br><br>"Come along Robin. It sounds like we're going to be surprised again," the Doctor said before taking Robin's hand and leading her over to the elevator, snatching up a cake in the shape of the empire state building as they walked and taking a bite out of it. "Mmmm, double layer fudge cake. You have to admit, for a retirement home, this place is pretty swell."<br><br>He watched Robin whilst taking another big bite out of the cake. "How's the beeping?" he asked, his mouth stuffed with the delight. The elevator doors closed and the whole compartment began to slowly make its way down. "I had a theory that your strange little brain was picking up relay from the Time Distortions. How does it sound now that we're further away from the Daleks?"

				Robin listened as Jamie and the Doctor conversed. She wondered what all they had been through together; if the Doctor had really seen him die, this must have been a great shock for him. As he took her arm, Robin smiled gently. She grabbed a piece of the cake and popped it into her mouth, closing her eyes at the wonderful taste.<br><br>"Yeah, now you know where to come if you decide to turn in your sonic screwdriver," she teased, elbowing him softly in his side. At his mention of the beeping, she listened for a moment. It was fainter - not nearly as frantic as earlier, that was for sure - but it was still there, pounding a rhythm into her head. Not wanting the Doctor to worry, though, she told a small lie.<br><br>"I think you're right," she said, smiling at him. "It's gone now. Thank goodness... It was really starting to get old."

				"Missy, if you don't stop teasing me I'm going to dump you on one of the most boring planets in the universe when this is all over," the Doctor warned her before smirking. "It's called Nazelha and it's full of emotionless creatures that do nothing but spend every moment of every day playing dominoes. I'll strand you there for a week."<br><br>He winked at her and began humming along to the elevator music (which sounded an awful lot like Flight of the Valkyries) while they descended lower and lower.<br><br>Eventually, the doors opened to reveal a huge dark space, the size of three basketball courts. The walls and floor were all made from wood and the smell of oak was fresh and pungent in the air. In the centre of the wooden room lay a huge black machine that resembled a giant beaker with cables running out of it into the wood.<br><br>"Oh, now that's interesting..." the Doctor said before walking up to the machine and circling it, eying each part with curiosity. "This must be the life feeder, the machine that stores all the life force that the occupants of Valhalla give."<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'This is the heart of the beast Doctor.

Why are they so blue?"</em><br><br>"They were spawned from a new Dalek Paradigm. I had them on the ropes long ago, but then some events were set in motion that allowed them to become an Empire of millions once more," the Doctor spoke as he took out his sonic screwdriver and began to scan over the machine. "One big, bright, multicolored army of Daleks-"<br><br>The Doctor paused at one of the parts of the machine. His brow creased in confusion before he stepped back and gazed around the room.<br><br>"Robin....can you hear that?" The Doctor asked before glancing at the machine. "That little whisper...this machine is emitting something, possibly a psychic message, can you hear it?" The Doctor stepped back again and held up his hands for silence as he listened.<br><br>Sure enough, there was a small whisper echoing through the room. Emanating from the machine.<br><br><em>"Come to me Daleks. Let us spread destruction....Come to me.... Let us rid the universe of all life."</em>

				"You would never do that," Robin replied, sticking her tongue out at the Doctor. "I'm too much fun to be around." The teasing did stop, however, as the elevator opened and revealed a big, dark room. For some reason, Robin felt a sinister sort of presence as soon as she stepped into the chamber. A shiver ran down her spine (though the room was pleasantly warm) as they walked.<br><br>Approaching the giant machine, she felt herself grow more and more anxious, and the beeping increased in intensity again. Her light grip on the Doctor's arm turned tight, and she was almost squeezing it by the time he started scanning it with the sonic screwdriver. And then she heard it. The soft, nearly silent whisper echoing through her head.<br><br><em>Come to me. We will rid the universe of life. Come, Daleks, come to me.</em> Another shiver racked her entire body as she listened. <br><br>"I hear it, Doctor," she said softly, her eyes wide with fright. "Why is it calling the Daleks? Why would it want to get rid of all life in the universe? I thought this tree was supposed to <em>bring</em> life... Not take it away."

				"You're exactly right, but yet, from some reason, this machine is signalling them on their telepathic frequency. To us it's just a whisper, but to them it will feel like someones shouting inside their brains," the Doctor spoke his arms crossed over his chest as he stared at the machine with an nervous look on his face, "It may even be strong enough to control the Daleks, but... that shouldn't be possible."<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'Doctor, every hero in this place knows about this room. Are you suggesting that someone who lives here altered the machine to contact the Daleks?'"</em> The robot asked <br><br>"I'm not sure.

I don't know anyone who has such an incredible understanding of the Dalek's brain waves..." the Doctor paused for a moment, his brow furrowed as the look on his face changed from confusion to concentration. "...I don't know anyone... except...."<br><br>The Doctor's eyes widened before he spun on his heel, yanking out his sonic screwdriver and laser spanner from his pockets as he turned. A bolt of electricity hit him squarte in the chest as he held them high above his head and sent him tumbling back into the machine.<br><br><em>"Sir, Jamie McCrimmon says; 'You are really are a pathetic fool, Doctor,'"</em> the robot voice chirped, before his voice crackled and disolved into static as the robot short circuited and released Jamie's chair before exploding in a shower of sparks.<br><br>Jamie rolled forwards, his frail, limp left hand raising a fragile finger in the Doctor's direction. An evil smile was plastered on his ancient face as he pressed something on the sword in his lap. The image of Jamie McCrimmon turned to a slime like substance that slithered down the body that lay beneath and retreated into the wheel chair, which became instantly replaced by a device that resembled a black chariot covered in silver globes.<br><br>Sitting in the device, chuckling maniacally with a grin of black rotten teeth, was an ugly bald man with leathery wrinkled skin. He had no eyes in his sockets, but did have a disturbing glowing blue eye in his forehead. His left arm was metalic and clawed, his body was covered by a black military like uniform and sprouting out of the back of his head were wires that connected to the ominous chair.<br><br>"Y-You..." the Doctor growled, clutching his chest as he staggered to his feet. "How dare you...how dare you massacrade as Jamie," he hissed through gritted teeth as he attempted to balance on his feet, which shook under him uneasily.<br><br>"You and your sentimentality Doctor. It was almost embarassing how it blinded you," the man croaked, his voice sounded artificial, as if his vocal chords had been replaced by electronic speakers. He turned his glowing blue forehead towards Robin, licking his dry cracked lips as he looked at her, as if savoring the unspeakable horror of the situation.<br><br>"Hello my dear, I am Davros, Lord and Creator of the Dalek race."

				Robin was listening in silent horror to the whispering coming from the hulking black machine. It was sinister and evil... And yet she couldn't stop listening to it. There was something almost familiar about it, though she knew she'd never heard it before. The conversation between the Doctor and the old man was lost on her, and so it shocked her completely when an electric blast sent her friend flying backward.<br><br>A short, choked scream came from Robin's throat as the Doctor made impact, but she stopped when the old man began to... change. The robot exploded suddenly, making her jump, and then Jamie's body started to melt. This caused a brief flashback to the Slitheen, watching them disintegrate into green sludge... The old Scot's change was different, though, as it turned into quite a different form... Which was definitely more horrifying than any Slitheen.<br><br>His eyeless sockets stared ahead, unseeing, and the glowing blue orb in the thing's forehead was disconcerting to say the least. The teeth were disgusting, and he looked almost to be more robot than... whatever he really was. And then the thing spoke to her, which caused the blonde to jump again, wishing she could be anywhere but where she was. Despite her fear, however, she stood her ground and spoke clearly.<br><br>"Yeah? Well I'm Robin, slightly psychic human," the girl said, her scar red and angry across her face, "and I am certainly <em>not</em> your dear."

				Davros cackled at Robin, his laughter foul and maniacal. He wheeled about the room in his chariot, gliding over the ground effortlessly with the same low hum as the Dalek's. It was almost as if someone had taken a burnt corpse and fused it with the lower half of a Dalek. Even though he had no eyes, his sockets and brow twisted into a look of delight as he watched Robin and the Doctor, taking pleasure in his fury and pain as he struggled to remain standing.<br><br>"Oh my how vicious. Have you turned this one into a soldier yet, Doctor, or has it not been long enough for her to embrace her role as a sacrificial lamb?" Davros asked mockingly whilst the Doctor panted and snarled at him. "I see she has been scarred, a memory extractor I take it? Do you so delight in driving these poor misguided fools through your war zones and graveyards?"<br><br>"H-How are you able to be here? This place is for heroes," the Doctor asked between pants, stepping forward and bracing himself against the machine with one arm. "How are you controlling the Daleks, why are you posing as Jamie and <em>how are you still alive!</em>"<br><br>"Listen to him," Davros chuckled, turning his ugly head towards Robin. "He asks for answers but the only real question he wants to be answered is about my survival? Did he tell you about how he left me to die? Right after committing genocide on an entire species. Or has he led you to believe that he is somehow a saint?"

				Robin slowly walked to the Doctor, putting an arm around his shoulders as Davros spoke, looking at the hideous creature with an accusatory stare. But as the Dalek spoke, her face seemed to change, and the stare was turned to the man at her side. <br><br>"Trust me," she whispered softly into his ear, just before stepping away from him, keeping that same slightly hateful look trained on her friend. She kept walking backward, carrying herself farther and farther from the man with the blue box. When she was several feet away from him, she turned toward Davros, trying to keep the look of revulsion off her face.<br><br>"You're right," she said softly, hoping the Doctor would catch the hint and do something while the Dalek was distracted. His seemed like a proud and haughty race, ready to condemn everyone else... Why not find out? "I've seen it, in his memories. Just... wiping out entire species... Entire planets... Even his own. What kind of man could destroy his own people? I wish I could just forget... I thought he was this amazing, good man, but... He isn't. I see why you hate him so much."

				"Oh? You have not yet gotten your claws into your new companion just yet it seems," Davros spoke with interest focusing on Robin for a moment. "I have never found much worth for girls, but perhaps you will intelligent enough to leave the Doctor to his fate and run as fast as you can away from me and my children....unless of course you want to be a slave of mine. I am sure that experimenting on a girl with your intriguing mind would be quite fascinating."<br><br>The Doctor struck as Davros's attention was turned. He picked up his glowing red laser spanner and flung himself at Davros, grabbing hold of the side of his chariot before bringing the tool down on the side of it. The spanner should have cut through the chariot and disabled Davros's movement, but before it could so much as dent the device a black wire wrapped around the Doctor's hand and began to pull him backwards.<br><br>"Did you really think me a fool? Did you think a mind like mine could be distracted by such petty things?" Davros said with relish. The sinister device that lay in the middle of the room had now sprouted wires tentacles that snapped around the Doctor's limbs and dragged him towards the device. <br><br>Davros pointed at Robin and immediately another set of tentacles lashed out and wrapped around one of her arms with a snap.<br><br>"Oh this is just too much," Davros chuckled with glee before turning back to the Doctor. "I thought it was a stroke of bad luck when the emergency temporal shift I used to escape the Crucible malfunctioned and stranded me in this revolting place," he said with disgust before spitting in revulsion. "A person with my interests was almost killed on sight by this castles security system. I only survived by generating a guise from DNA which I had gathered from that idiotic companion of yours. Just think, in order to masquerade as that simpleton I had to actually clone his personality from his DNA and wear it like clothing for the last year and a half, all whilst trying my best to avoid having my life force sapped by that over grown weed. If it hadn't been for my experiments I would have long done mad."<br><br>"You didn't need any help with that," the Doctor said whilst trying to shake off the wires. "Let Robin go now!"<br><br>"Oh no Doctor, I won't let any of you go," Davros said with delight as he moved closer to the two of them. "Soon my Dalek's will break through the security system and come find me after exterminating every last decrepit hero in this awful place. Then, we shall join you here and delight in your pain as the Gaia Tree sucks the life force from your bodies."<br><br>"Let, Robin, go," the Doctor growled again, the fire returning to his eyes as he glared down the mad man.<br><br>"And why would I do that?" Davros asked curiously. "Both of you are vital to my scheme. Once you are absorbed into the Gaia Tree, my experiment can begin and me and my beloved Daleks will transform this abomination into a wonderful world destroying weapon. Instead of plants the acorns will become bombs that shall drain the life from ever planet they come into contact with. It will be glorious!"

				Robin's face fell as the Doctor was trapped by Davros. She had really hoped that her idea would work... But then again, she didn't have much experience in distracting Daleks. A yelp came from her as the wire snapped around her arm, and she found herself being&nbsp; pulled toward the horrible Davros against her will. The creature smelled like death and radiated a feeling of hatred so strong Robin could hardly stand it.<br><br>His plan, it seemed, was going through without a hitch: Robin and the Doctor were trapped, the Daleks were currently outside, getting closer and closer to breaking through the security... Robin could only pray that her companion could think of something to get them out of this situation.<br><br>"What do I have to do with this plan?" she asked, trying to stall him if even for a few more moments. "I understand why you need the Doctor, but why do I matter? You could just kill me."

				"My dear, what exactly do you think is going to happen to you?" Davros asked humorlessly. "You're going to die. You will be the first to be absorbed into the Gaia Tree. When the machine reaches maximum capacity it will immediately take two hundred years off your life cycle. You will be reduced to rot in a matter of seconds, where as the Doctor will hang on for so much longer," Davros reached forwards and tilted the Doctor's head up to look at him with the tip of his metal claw. "And once again, he will know the despair of leading another poor soul to their demise."<br><br>"Why are the Daleks coming for you?" The Doctor asked, keeping his voice level as he glared up at Davros. "The Daleks know that you are useful to them, but rescue operations certainly aren't there style. They don't care if you live or die, why would they try this hard to save you?" <br><br>"They needed a little...encouragement," Davros sneered. "The psychic beacon I placed in the Gaia Tree sent a message to a large part of the Dalek empire and influenced them into coming here."<br><br>"So you brain washed them?" The Doctor laughed loudly, turning to Robin and grinning at her. "Did you hear that Robin? He introduces himself as their Lord and creator and shares such fondness for the evil things, but yet he doesn't trust that they'll leave him alive!" The Doctor let out another howl of laughter before smirking up into the blue eye of Davros. "Just, how many times have you almost been exterminated Davros? How many times have they considered you an inconvenience?" <br><br>"Your prattling is becoming irritating Doctor," Davros spoke before extending his metal claw and tapping a few buttons on the sinister machine before pulling out a large chunk of it. The two of them became encased in green light that seemed to weigh down their every muscle. "I have no interest in humoring you anymore. I have my creations to greet."<br><br>He turned in the direction of the elevator once more before gliding across the floor and taking his place inside of it. "While you wait for your execution how about you tell your dear accomplice about how you let down all the others that came before her?" He asked cruelly before the doors shut behind him.<br><br>The Doctor glared at him with bile and disgust as he watched the psychopath exit the room, but the moment the doors shut behind him a grin lit up his face and he turned to Robin before winking at her.<br><br>"You're incredible," he said warmly and lifted his hand to hold hers. "We're going to stop them. And it's all because of you."

				Robin didn't really understand most of the conversation; her fear at Davros's first statements caused her to tune out a lot of what the two were saying. The fragile human could only stand there, waiting to die, with the knowledge that her life would be slowly leeched from her to feed the fuel of the Daleks' hatred. It seemed a sick sort of joke, that she had survived much already and was now to be killed inside a tree that was meant for bringing life to so many planets.<br><br>Her thoughts were interrupted as the green light descended over her and the Doctor, and she felt as though she weighed a hundred pounds more than normal. <em>This is it,</em> the girl thought, panic bubbling in her throat. But then, Davros was leaving, and the Doctor was... smiling? Congratulating her?<br><br>"I don't understand," she said weakly, looking at their linked hands. "I mean, thank you, but... I didn't really do anything."

				"Robin, you did everything. You made him drop his guard," the Doctor said before pointing to himself with his thumb. "Look at me Robin. Do I look like a fighter to you?" He asked, his eyebrow raised in amusement. "Do I look like a Time Lord who would try to knock out the bad guy with a power tool? Don't I more look like the sort of Time Lord who would take advantage of his enemies ego and take a vital part from his dumb looking wheel chair while he was too busy gloating?" <br><br>With that, the Doctor held up his hand and revealed a small green microchip that he shuffled between his knuckles. His eyes glinted with excitement as he watched the chip, before he tossed into the air and caught it in the palm of his hands. "Remember when I said I would take you with me because I thought you would be a fantastic sidekick?" He asked before smiling genuinely at Robin. "Best decision I've made in years."

				Robin felt a strange stirring of pride. Though she had thought he would try to do something physical, the fact that her attempts hadn't been in vain was very relieving. As long as she could be of some help to the fantastic Doctor... Well, she thought that was all right. Something bad may happen to her, but if she died knowing she'd helped save even some lives, it was worth it. <br><br>"And to think, you were saying you were going to take me home. Well, you're welcome," she said with a smile. "But... What is that?"

				"A moment of insanity, I assure you," the Doctor said before wrapping his arm around her shoulder, doing his best to avoid getting his restraints tangled in hers. "Robin return to Florida? The universe would collapse," he said before pocketing the green micro chip and waggling his finger. "But, just because I'm proud of you doesn't mean you get to see my party trick just yet. I want that to be a surprise."<br><br>"Now," the Doctor said as he looked down at their restraints. "Taking one look at these I can already tell that the moment I use any of my tools they'll probably zap me with a thousand volts of electricity or make me burst into flame or something equally unpleasant," he said before glancing up at the machine. "I think I could probably get us out of these restraints, but in order to do that I would need to spend time carefully hacking at the machine central cortex system to make sure that I can reverse the polarity of its-"<br><br>The Doctor paused as the elevator doors opened and two men stepped out of it. Both of them were old, both were dressed in green military uniforms, both of them were wielding swords and both of them looked as if they had seen countless battles in their time. <br><br>"Hey, Corporal Higgins and Lieutenant Myers!" The Doctor called to the figures as they marched over towards the two of them. "My names the Doctor and this is Robin-"<br><br>"We know who you are Doctor," spoke Corporal Higgins, his voice hard but polite. "We've heard no end of stories about you and the aliens that are currently wrecking up our home."<br><br>"The minute we saw the tin can bastards our first thoughts of were of this place," Myers said in his heavy Texan accent before swinging the sword he was carrying and severing the bonds that tied Robin and the Doctor down. "Come on Doctor, lets go kill some aliens," he said before pausing as he noticed Robin. He flashed her a pearly grin and gave her a two fingered salute. "Well hello there Mam, its been a while since I saw a face as pretty as yours down here."<br><br>"Oh for the love of-" the Doctor sighed heavily and rolled his eyes. "Myers, impending doom here!" He exclaimed before getting to his feet and hoisting Robin off the floor. <br><br>"See, told you that you would break hearts," the Doctor whispered to her slyly. "Nothing gets a heroes motor running more than a hot blonde in a dangerous place," he said before ruffling his own blonde head of hair. "I should know. They fall for me all the time."

				Robin gave a shaky laugh at the Doctor's joking, happy that they now seemed to have a plan. Though it seemed that their situation was getting more and more dangerous, with hostile aliens getting closer all the time, she felt oddly safe with this strange man at her side. Even if that incessant beeping was still going on inside her head...<br><br>"Party trick?" she said teasingly, leaning briefly into his side. "I hope what you've got planned is <em>much</em> more exciting than some party trick." And then she listened as he prattled on about getting into the machine to undo their restraints, but her gaze flew immediately to the two men who entered the room. She quickly realized they were the ones fighting earlier, and smiled eagerly as they approached. Deep down, she hoped against hope that they weren't like Jamie had been... That they wouldn't soon melt into one of those hideous Daleks.<br><br>It seemed they were human, though, as they cut Robin and the Doctor free. A sigh of relief escaped the girl, and then a laugh at his compliment and the Doctor's reply. Shooting the Doctor a teasing look as he pulled her up, she brushed off her pants daintily.<br><br>"Oh come now, Doctor," she said, flipping her blonde curls behind her ear, "You're just jealous because the aren't throwing themselves all over <em>you.</em> It's very nice to meet you, Lieutenant Myers," she added, returning the man's salute with a slightly flirtatious grin. As they walked forward, she looked at the Doctor again, lowering her own voice to a whisper.<br><br>"Lucky thing you have two hearts," she said, her jade eyes gleaming.

				"Hey, if we were in the 51st century I would have old UNIT marines dying for my attention!" The Doctor pouted loudly before turning red as Myers and Higgins cast him a weird look. "I mean...carry on gentlemen. Lets go get them..." the Doctor muttered before glaring sideways at Robin. "I blame you for that, and I will have my revenge."<br><br>The elevator ride back up to the levels of the glorified retirement home went by without a hitch. During the journey Higgins and Myers explained to the Doctor and Robin how they had been practicing in the recreation area of the palace before hearing a loud explosion on one side of the campus, followed by the sound of strange creatures yelling; <strong>EXTERMINATE</strong>.<br><br>"Funny though..." The Doctor said whilst they traveled through the floors. "...you just assumed I was here with the delightful Robin in the lower chambers," he said curiously, his glance shifting from one soldier to the next. "You saw the Daleks and seemed very sure that I was there and that I needed your help."<br><br>"We're not spies of that guy with no eyes if that's what you're implying," Higgins said pointedly. "We were as surprised as you when we found out that Jamie McCrimmon was that freak."<br><br>"Besides, what would be the point in luring you into a second trap when he already had you at his mercy?" Myers asked, but wasn't looking at the Doctor while he spoke. Instead his eyes were still fixed on Robin.<br><br>"You have a point," the Doctor said with a nod. "Gentlemen, our lives are in your hands and your lives are in mine," the Doctor said cheerfully and clapped them both on the shoulder. "So Myers, do me a favor and stop checking out my companions legs."<br><br>"Sorry Doctor, been a long time since I saw a young woman in these parts," Myers chuckled before winking at Robin. "Your fellas mighty protective of you darling. Whens he planning on poppin the question?"<br><br>"I-I y-you!" The Doctor stammered, blushing heavily. "Can we just focus on not getting killed by Daleks?" The Doctor asked before the elevator doors opened with a ping. Only to reveal the blue body of a Dalek standing in front of them with its back turned to them.<br><br>The Dalek turned on the spot and looked from one face to the other with its eye stalk in complete silence, before pointing its cannon at them and yelling; <strong>"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINA-"</strong><br><br>The two soldiers moved at a speed that seemed almost impossible for their age. Their swords sliced into the Dalek's hull, causing it to let out a cry of pain as sparks sprang from the gaping wound in its armor.<br><br>"Now that's what I'm talking about!" The Doctor yelled before all four of them sprung from the elevator and sprinted past the Dalek, leaving it cursing in rage as its wound hissed and sparked. <br><br><strong>"ALERT! ALERT! THE DOCTOR IS HERE! EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR!"</strong> It shrieked after them in its grainy voice.

				Robin's mood lightened considerably in the elevator. It seemed like things were returning to normal; everyone was flirting and teasing and getting along quite well. It was almost easy to forget that an army of nearly indestructible mutants were waiting to exterminate all of them. A smile stretched across Robin's lips, one filled with a strange sort of excitement.<br><br>"You can't help him for admiring my legs, Doctor," the girl said. "These pants do make them look rather stunning. As if you didn't know that already... As for your question, Lieutenant, he's a little hesitant. So I'm available if you're asking." She tossed him a wink before smiling sunnily up at the Doctor. The smile didn't even leave her face when the doors opened and revealed the waiting Dalek.<br><br>Its screeching voice accosted her ears, but her smile only grew wider as the seasoned warriors jumped at it and sliced it open. It seemed amazing that apparently normal swords could pierce that armor... But she realized they probably <em>weren't</em> normal swords. Adrenaline pumped almost visibly through Robin's veins as they sprinted past the wounded Dalek, its irritated screaming echoing after them.<br><br>"Doctor!" she called, grabbing his hand. "Is it messed up that I'm having fun?"

				"Nope, it just means you're getting with the program!" The Doctor called back to her with a laugh as they turned down the corridors and ran as fast as they could, dodging the fire of Daleks that they ran past and came out in front of. The Doctor looked back at the soldiers as they ran and eyed the swords before calling back to them; "So, what are those swords, why can they pierce the Dalek's hull? Are they made of tempered Dwarf Star Alloy or something?"<br><br>"We have no idea Doctor!" Higgins called back to him. "In fact, we're rather surprised that worked."<br><br>"That's a good answer Corporal!" The Doctor called back as they flew around a corner and ran down a flight of stairs, taking the steps three at a time.<br><br>"Doctor, you haven't actually mentioned this to us," Myers called to him as they ran. "So, just to ask, where the hell are you taking us?!"<br><br>"To find Davros. He took the signal beacon with him, I'm following the telepathic trail. Just ask Robin, she'll tell you that what I'm saying makes sense," the Doctor spoke whilst pointing behind him at Robin. "If I know Davros, then he's probably addressing the Daleks like a little pepper shaker army. He'll lead them down to the Gaia Tree once he's done and then he'll be very disappointed to find that we're not there."<br><br>"If he's going to return to the Gaia Tree's centre. Then why don't we just wait for him there and spring a trap?" Myers asked, narrowly avoiding a shot from a Dalek that slid out behind him before slicing off his eye stalk.<br><br>"Brilliant idea Myers!" The Doctor yelled to him happily before ducking as a beam of light shot at the space where his head would have been, "We'll just wait in a room with only one exit for the army of super advanced killing machines that will be blocking our only escape. Fantastic idea!"

				A breathless laugh bubbled up in Robin's throat, and when it escaped she was completely shocked. Here they were, running for their lives... She was with an alien whose memories were all jumbled and who had a bunch of insane gadgets and ideas, and two ancient warriors with some sort of super-advanced swords... They were being followed by a bunch of horrifying, homicidal aliens... And she was laughing.<br><br>"Telepathic trail!" she said, trying to focus her mind and find it. Finally, she could hear it, saying the same things it was before. "Yeah! I can hear it! Davros put this thing in the tree, to draw the Daleks here! And he's still got it!" Looking to her right, the fleeing girl ducked as a Dalek took a shot at her. It traveled just over her head, but instead of screaming in fear, she laughed again.

				"Then where has he gone Doctor?" Higgins asked while they ran. He wore a pair of glasses on his old face that he constantly kept on having to adjust as they came loose and bounced around on top of his flat nose.<br><br>"That's obvious, when the Dalek's invaded they were too arrogant to try and find any other way to get in apart from a full frontal assault" The Doctor explained, never pausing, even when his sandal came loose and attempted to trip him up. "But, now that Davros has seen there's a back door to this place, a back door that we might have left open, then he's more than likely changed the command to force the Dalek's to go..." the Doctor's voice trailed off as they entered the very first room in which they had walked into when they first gained access to the palace. <br><br>"To the back entrance," the Doctor said as they looked over the room, the open doors and the large open space of the cave. Every single inch covered with Daleks of every color. Some were red, some yellow, some orange, others were bronze and metallic and one was large and white and seemed to stand out amongst the other Daleks.<br><br>Davros stood amongst those that had gathered in the cave, addressing them as if they were a faithful crowd of supporters, "...planet shall become the second Skaro and together we shall spread destruction throughout the universe. We will exterminate everythi-" Davros paused and at that moment a hundred eyes turned in their direction.<br><br><strong>"ALERT the Doctor is with us! EXTERMINATE the Doctor!"</strong> The large white Dalek called out, his voice lower and more vicious that any of the other Daleks.<br><br>"Oh, I wouldn't do that," the Doctor called, his arms behind his back as he weaved in and out of the Daleks casually, as if he were taking a stroll in the park. "I noticed a lot of dead bodies as we were coming up here. If you kill us then the Gaia Tree won't have enough juice to spit out it's first poisonous acorn."<br><br><strong>"The Doctor must be EXTERMINATED! EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"</strong> The cries for death rang through the horde of Daleks, their weapons aimed on them as they prepared to fire.<br><br>"Wait!" Davros yelled, holding the black device he had plucked from his machine high above his head. The Daleks instantly turned back in his direction, there weapons fell. "He is right. Without his life cycle we will need to gather more heroes before we can arm the tree," Davros agreed with a nod before grinning with his disgusting black teeth. "So tell me Doctor, what exactly do you plan on doing? Are you here to parley?"<br><br>"No, I'm here to tell you that I'm about to make do on a promise I made earlier today," the Doctor said whilst looking from one Dalek to another. "I said I was going to destroy you all, remember that? Remember when I warned you about how I was going to destroy you all?"<br><br>Davros tittered at the comment and shook his head with a smug grin. "We're not at the Crucible Doctor, there is no technology about that could possibly let you achieve that. Even if Valhalla does contain it then even someone as clever as you would need to spend hours understanding it."<br><br>"I don't need that. You've already given me what I need to destroy them all," the Doctor spoke and smiled warmly at Davros, his hands still tucked behind his back. "Did you hear that guys? Davros is the one who is about to help me destroy all of you!" he shouted to the crowd before his eyes met with Davros's sockets. "You could end this. You could walk away and let me deal with the Daleks. You could vanish and I wouldn't chase you. You could live out your life in peace"<br><br>"Daleks. Exterminate the Doctor's friends," Davros spoke in weary voice before the Dalek's raised their weapons and fired to the chorus of; <strong>"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"</strong><br><br>Myers leaped off his feet and knocked Robin to ground, narrowly avoiding a blast from several hundred beams. Higgins was not so lucky, with a scream, he fell to the floor, dead.<br><br>"And now you've just made this easy for me!" The Doctor snarled before pulling his hands out from behind his back. In one hand he held a green bullet in the other he held a sling shot. He armed the slingshot and pulled back the bullet before firing it at Davros. The projectile flew through the air and struck the black device he had been holding.<br><br>"What have you done?" Davros screamed as the device sparked and fizzed.<br><br>"Uploaded some data. That bullet contained the microchip I stole from your chair. It'll be imprinting some interesting data onto that Dalek beacon of yours," the Doctor said before Davros let out a cry of alarm and smashed the beacon in his metal hand.<br><br>"Oh, that won't do much good. That chip will download data in a few seconds, its going to have affected a good amount of the Daleks," the Doctor said with a grin, despite the battalion of guns that were pointed in his direction.<br><br>For a moment, the air was full of screeches of <strong>EXTERMINATE</strong>, but then, amongst the cries of rage, came several shouts. All of them were were full of pride, all were electronic and scratchy, and all of them were Scottish,<br><br><strong>"FOR CLAN MCCRIMMON!"</strong> A horde of four hundred Dalek's yelled out before turning their guns on the opposing masses of rebel Daleks.

				As they entered the room, Robin stopped as suddenly as she could, her excitement dying a little bit. Daleks filled the room, all different colors, and it seemed like there was no way they would be making it out of that room alive. As the big white alien spoke, his deeper voice full of spite and malice, a shiver ran down Robin's spine. But as she stood there, the image of the woman Romana surfaced again. And suddenly, she was calm, though she had no idea why.<br><br>Confusion muddled her thoughts, however, as the Doctor spoke of his plan to destroy the Daleks. All she had seen him take from Davros was the tiny green chip, and she had no idea how that was supposed to help them. Her trust of the Doctor was the only thing stopping her from being paralyzed with fear. But when the Daleks fired at them and Myers tackled her, she did let go of a scream.<br><br>"No," she whispered as she saw Higgins lying dead on the ground. "No, no, no!" The only thing keeping her from running to the heroic man's body was Myers lying on top of her. A sob choked her throat, but she would not cry... Not in front of these horrible creatures.<br><br>Then, something amazing happened. She couldn't see what the Doctor was doing, but it was apparently something important, because soon almost half of the Daleks had changed their battle cry.

				The cave became a battlefield. Dalek fired at Dalek, their shouts of rage mingling with the war cries of the suddenly Scottish Daleks. The Doctor jumped to the ground next to Myers and Robin and grinned gleefully as he watched the fight, enjoying every moment of the Dalek's screams and Davros's cries of confusion and rage.<br><br><strong>"What is HAPPENING?!"</strong> The large white Dalek roared from amongst the Dalek's whilst blasting open a Dalek that attempted to blow its head off. <strong>"What is HAPPENING?! EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!"</strong><br><br>"Doctor, what did you do?" Myers yelled out, ducking as shrapnel from an exploding Dalek flew past his head with the force of a shotgun shell.<br><br>"Simple, Davros created a little psychic beacon to control the Daleks with, so I decided to hijack the signal and send my own broadcast," the Doctor said, laughing like a mad man as he watched one of the Daleks smash into another like a bumper car before whacking it repeatedly with its plunger arm, all whilst yelling, <em>Down ya fiendish brute! You can not kill a McCrimmon!</em>. "So, seeing as how Davros had a complete version of my good friend Jamie McCrimmon on hard drive. I decided to download his personality into half of the Daleks."<br><br>"So you're saying..." Myers began before he too began to laugh as he watched a trio of Dalek's soar of the battle, blarring bagpipe music from their speakers as they rained down shots on the Dalek forces.<br><br>"That's right," the Doctor said before punching the air with his fist in triumph. "Every single one of those Daleks has become Jamie McCrimmon! Go get them you beauty!" The Doctor roared and watched with awe as five mroe Dalek's disintergrated from the blast of the mad Scottish Daleks.

				Robin laughed breathlessly, hardly able to believe what was happening. It was simply amazing that the Doctor could think of a plan so elaborate with only a second to act. Davros had been distracted for a very short amount of time... The fact that this entire plan had formed in his mind in that timespan was astonishing. He really was a genius... Robin looked at him with reverence and a little bit of pride.<br><br>Shrapnel was flying through the air, and some of it brushed over Robin's arms, leaving shallow scratches but otherwise not hurting her too badly. Again she marveled at the material that the pants were made out of; though jagged pieces were scraping over them, the bright blue fabric sustained no damage. <em>Thank goodness for alien skinny pants,</em> she though with a giggle. <br><br>"Lieutenant!" she yelled to Myers, who was still lying on top of her, "Shouldn't we wait until <em>after</em> the wedding to get this intimate?"

				"Hey, I'm getting blasted by aliens and have a beautiful women under me. I think is the perfect time to get intimate," Myers laughed before glancing towards the Doctor and yelling, "Doctor, how exactly are we going to get out of this alive? This place is a war zone!" <br><br>"Trust in the Scottish Myers!" the Doctor yelled, before his eyes narrowed on the crowd of Daleks. From amongst the chaos he could make out Davros, screeching for help from his hate filled creations whilst tapping at buttons on his wheel chair. He turned to Robin and looked at her for a long moment and winked before saying, "Be back in a minute.<br><br>The Doctor jumped to his feet and began running through the crowd of Dalek's, ducking and dodging the deadly blasts, before leaping at Davro's chair and grabbing his metal arm.<br><br>"Unhand me!" Davros screamed. "Exterminate him! Exterminate him right now!"<br><br>"The Dalek's have got bigger things to worry about than your safety Davros," the Doctor growled while wrestling with the villain. "You should have picked someone more harmless than Jamie to pose as. Those McCrimmon Daleks are twice as battle hardy as your evil little creations," the Doctor yelled over an explosion. "Now sit still! I''ve got a promise to keep!"<br><br>The Doctor pulled out a large gold wrench with orange stripes over its jaws, from his pocket before grabbing what remained of the black device Davros held in his mechanical hand. He locked the wrench around the device and began to turn the screws, locking down the jaws and sending an odd siren through the area.<br><br>While his back was turned, the white Dalek from earlier appeared behind him and aimed its cannon at the Doctors back before roaring; <strong>"EXTERMINATE!"</strong>

				Robin laughed at the Lieutenant's reply, but her expression turned to one of worry as the Doctor got up and ran off. She had no idea where he was supposed to be going, but her companion and guardian was just running directly into the battle as though he had nothing to worry about. Blasts from the Daleks' cannons flew past him, the warriors firing indiscriminately. <br><br>But then... The white one. Robin saw it making its way through the melee toward the Doctor, and without thinking, she acted. Quickly, she rolled and shoved Myers so that he fell off of her. Keeping her head low, she ran to Higgins's dead body and apologetically heaved his sword from the ground. It was heavy and way too long for her, but she carried it anyway, hefting its weight with both hands.<br><br>As the huge white Dalek raised its cannon to point it at the Doctor, Robin screamed and raised the sword over her head. As hard as she could, she brought it down, cleaving the cannon from the Dalek's body before it could kill the Doctor.

				The Dalek roared in pain and fury as its weapon was sliced off in one chop. It turned its head in Robins direction and glared at her with it's big red eye. <strong>"YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED"</strong> The Dalek yelled and held up its sucker arm towards her, preparing to shove it into her face and crush her head, but before it could touch her a trio of McCrimmon Daleks zoomed towards it. <strong>"EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!"</strong> It yelled before vanishing in a stream of light.<br><br>The Doctor turned as he heard the sound of the Dalek disappearing. He missed the scene of Robin amputating the gun of the Dalek, so when he saw her brandishing the sword he just grinned and chuckled "It's okay Robin, we don't need to chop his head off. You get back under cover"

				Robin let her arms drop, her mouth dropping open at the same time. The sword scraped on the ground loudly, the strange material of which it was made leaving a scar on the floor. Her right hand planted itself on her hip and she looked at the Doctor with irritation.<br><br>"You seriously missed that?" she said, yelling over the sound of the battle. "I just saved your freaking life!" With that, she huffed, lugged the sword up to rest on her shoulder, and stalked off. When she reached Myers, she dropped to the floor beside him, sitting with her legs crossed.

				"I'm sure it was incredible and I'm really grateful!" The Doctor called over to her before twisting once more on the wrench. Davros screamed and cursed, his metal hand wrapped around the device in an attempt to free it from the Doctor's grasp, but no matter how much her tugged it wouldn't come free from the jaws of the wrench.<br><br>"Your plan shall not succeed, Doctor. Regardless of your faith in that dead buffoon a small army cannot hope to defeat the combined migh tof the Dalek forces!" Davros roared, yanking at his metal arm with his good hand in a futile attempt to free himself from the jaws.<br><br>"You know, for a 'genius' you're not very smart," the Doctor said, continuing his work despite the cries of outrage and the explosions that rocked the battlefield. "You see, even though you claim to be very smart you keep on doing one very stupid, stupid thing." The Doctor rested his hand on the handle of the wrench before turning to Davros and glaring into the large blue eye in his forehead. "You keep on thinking that you're going to win."<br><br>The Doctor yanked down hard on the handle and immediately the siren in the area changed to a higher pitch. The Daleks froze in place, their guns half raised and eyestalks still focused on their enemies. Then slowly, they began to turn in circles, getting faster and faster with every cycle, until eventually they began to smoke and spark.<br><br>"You both should have accepted my offer when you had the chance," the Doctor spoke as he looked round at the the twirling Daleks, who now began to let out cries of alarm as they ignited. "Like Mad scientist, like evil abomination I suppose," the Doctor said with a sigh, before clicking his fingers.<br><br>Explosion rocked the entire cave as every single Dalek erupted into balls of fire, their systems screeching as they were lost in the explosion, scattering armor and shrapnel in every direction.<br><br>ooc: Sorry for the delay, trying to type these posts on my mobile :P

				Robin watched the Doctor work, every now and again dodging shrapnel that flew her way. There was no telling what the Time Lord was up to; apparently, he was hard at work tightening something up on Davros's Dalek wheelchair. A mad giggle bubbled up as she had the thought that it looked like the strangest tune-up she'd ever seen.<br><br>But then, the siren emanating from the strange black device raised to a horrible pitch. Robin grimaced and squeezed her eyes shut before clapping her hands to her ears. But as the loud explosion rumbled through the room, her eyes flew open and she was flung the floor, pieces of metal scratching over her skin. Balls of fire were all that was left of the horde of Daleks, and as the inferno wore down, smoldering pieces of metal and flesh sat in heaps on the floor.<br><br>Looking over at Myers, who was sprawled beside her, she smiled weakly.<br><br>"Hey, look, the Doctor gave us fireworks for our wedding."<br><br>ooc: That's okay :) I totally understand!

				Davros turned his head left and right in alarm as he watched his forces erupt into fountains of metal, sparks and fire. His leather skin was pulled wide around his sockets in shock while he let out a long screech of despair as all of his plans fell to pieces. "What have you done Doctor?!" He cursed whilst the Doctor hopped from his wheel chair.<br><br>The Doctor waggled the golden wrench between his fingers before pocketing the tool with a smirk. "Psychic Wrench, I use it to help people get a grip when they're a bit loose in the head," the Doctor said before pointing at the smashed black device that Davros still held in his metal claw. "Seeing as how you destroyed the beacon it let out a large amount of white noise on the Dalek's frequency. So I decided to up the Amp to the point where the Daleks minds would spiral out of control and then of course..." the Doctor made a thumbs down before smirking. "...detonate."<br><br>"But don't worry Davros, some of your troops still survived," the Doctor spoke before outstretching his arms to his sides and smiling. "These guys made it out A-okay," he said before ten Daleks slowly landed behind the Doctor and aimed their guns at Davros.<br><br><strong>"For clan McCrimmon..."</strong> They growled in their scratchy Scottish voices. If Davros had eyes, they would be full of fear as he watched his creations stare down at him from the enemy's side of the battlefield.<br><br>"In case you can't remember the phrase, you're meant to use now Davros. I'll say it for you," the Doctor said with a pearly grin, before it vanished from his face and was replaced with a cold, hard look that bristled with anger. "Surrender."

				Robin was again struck silent by the fury on the Doctor's face. She had never seen such an ancient hatred before, and it was certainly much more frightening than anything she'd seen from the Daleks the entire time. Thinking for a moment, she stood slowly and walked toward her friend. Every step was painful; her feet were bruised and scratched, as were her arms. But her steps were determined.<br><br>Finally, she reached the Doctor and stood with him in front of Davros, the McCrimmon Daleks ominously watching from behind. Softly, she put her hand in the Doctor's and squeezed, urging him to look at her.<br><br>"Hey," she said gently. "You win. It's over."

				Davros was speechless as he stared at his creations with disbelief. He had made them, he had mutated them into what he viewed to be the perfect life form and encased them in armor of pure dalekanium. He had taken away their positive emotions and left only the bad ones. No one knew more about their construction than him and yet here he was, at their mercy again and working for his enemy. And it was his fault, for her had been the one to supply the Doctor with the means.<br><br>"Y-You won't stop the Daleks, Doctor," Davros snarled. "The Supreme Dalek escaped and there is no doubt that he is building up a force from the Dalek Paradigm that will eventually conquer the universe in one almighty swoop."<br><br>"Then I'll destroy them," the Doctor replied without hesitation. "I'll destroy them again. And again. And again and again and again and again and again, until eventually you and the enemy get the point," the Doctor growled back with more venom than Davros could possibly muster. "I will never stop beating you!"<br><br>The McCrimmon Daleks began to circle Davros, their eyes watching his every move as he looked around nervously. The Doctor folded his arms across his chest. "I should let them exterminate you..." he whispered. "For the lives that were lost today. For the people you've hurt, killed and humiliated, I should order them to execute you."<br><br>If the Doctor was building to something, he didn't get the chance to show it. As Robin's hand made its way into his and squeezed gently, he felt all the violence in his voice evaporate to nothing. He turned his head in her direction and after a moments pause smiled at her and nodded.<br><br>"Right you are," the Doctor said with a nod before clicking his fingers. "Jamies, do me a favor and transport Davros to the nearest universal police space station. They'll know what to do with the old coot."

				It made Robin sigh with relief when the Doctor looked at her and smiled. His fury was a wonder to behold; huge, proud, and vengeful he definitely was, and he was beautiful in all of his glory and rage, but... When he was merciful, it made him look all the more wonderful, and if Robin could help him realize that she would feel like she was doing her job.<br><br>As the Jamie Daleks circled around Davros, ready to transport him, Robin thought of something.<br><br>"Wait!" she called out, pulling her hand from the Doctor's and walking toward the group of Daleks as bravely as she could muster. Though she knew they were all right, they still frightened her, since only a little while ago they were all trying to exterminate Robin and her friends... But she managed. Finally, she drew close to Davros and looked him squarely in his blue eye.<br><br>"You are evil," she said softly to him, not caring if anyone else heard her. "You are hideous and horrible and awful and you killed someone who was so much better than you. But I'm about to tell you something you probably don't want to hear. I forgive you. And I feel sorry for you."

				Davros stared back at Robin expressionless. Then slowly, a grin began to form on his face, and soon that grin turned to a laugh that echoed through the cave, high and shrill as it bounced off the walls. He didn't say anything, he just kept laughing like the crazy freak that he was, never ceasing until he disappeared in flash of light, along with the McCrimmon Daleks.<br><br>"You're a good person Robin," the Doctor spoke softly as he took his place next to her. "Not many would have done what you just did. Even if he didn't appreciate those words, don't feel disheartened. You're better than him. And maybe one day, he'll realise it." The Doctor turned to Myers and smiled at him before holding out his hand. "Myers, we have to leave. It's been a horrible experience, but I've liked meeting you for a short time."<br><br>"Do you want a lift back to UNIT? I'm sure they could still use an old soldier like yourself," the Doctor asked, but Myers just shook his head.<br><br>"No Doctor, I still have a responsibility here. I need to bury the dead along with all the other surviving heroes and make sure what little remains of their life force nurtures the Gaia Tree. They'll rest easier knowing that they helped save planets as well as stop a made man," Myers said sadly before managing to salute Robin. "Mam, it has been a great pleasure. I hope you visit some time."

				Robin turned to the Doctor with an expression of mixed pride and wariness as he came to stand beside her.<br><br>"I'm not disheartened," she said, smiling. "I think the only reason he laughed is because he doesn't remember how to cry." As her friend turned toward Myers, Robin's smiled faltered a little but she managed to keep it on her face. Seeing the destruction around them was not easy, but for herself and for her friends, she stayed as strong as she could.<br><br>A genuine laugh came from her when the Lieutenant saluted her. Here he was, a brave soldier, having fought the Daleks even in his old age... And he wanted to stay behind and help when he could easily have gotten a lift home. Her head shook in amazement before she stepped toward him with her arms open wide. <br><br>"None of this saluting nonsense," she said, closing the distance between them and wrapping her arms tightly around him. "I want a proper hug. It was certainly a pleasure meeting you, and maybe one day when I'm an old warrior we'll see each other again."

				"It would be an honor," Myers said, hugging Robin back before pointing at the Doctor. "You take care of her Doctor. We almost didn't make it out of this alive," Myers said, an edge to his voice despite its pleasant tone. "Don't ever cut it that fine again. This wasn't a clean victory. Many died in this war."<br><br>"I know," the Doctor said with a nod. There was a frown on his face, but it was his eyes that seemed to radiate the most sadness. The golden fire in them seemed to be extinguished and thus they lost their warmth. "From now on, I'm not going to walk into any more traps. Next time, we'll fight on my terms."<br><br>He waved goodbye to Myers before making his way through the cave, back to the TARDIS. "Thank you," he said to Robin as they walked.

				Robin hated to see the Doctor so down. It was the laughter and light in his face that finished him, and without it he seemed incomplete. Gently, the blonde took his hand, leaning into him wearily. At his thanks, she shot him a confused look.<br><br>"You're welcome... But what did I do?" she asked, genuinely curious. Suddenly she was very tired, and as the adrenaline drained from her body, the cuts and bruises she'd sustained became quite painful. But Robin didn't care; all that mattered was that she was alive, and so was the Doctor. Worriedly, she looked up at him, wishing he'd be happy again.<br><br>Unable to control it, she yawned, and wondered when she'd ever get to sleep again. A wry smile crossed her face. If everywhere they landed something like this happened... She figured she may never get another night's rest. With another look at the Doctor, she then thought... Maybe that wouldn't be too bad. An almost wicked thought occurred to her then, but as she thought it, she realized her longing was too great not to say it.<br><br>"I have a request for our next trip," Robin said gently.

				"You kept me sane," the Doctor replied in a whisper as they walked through the cave. He seemed to be just as tired as her during their walk back. The days events had caught up to him and drained him of all energy, making every feel as if it weighed a ton.<br><br>"Tell me," he said with a yawn, fumbling inside his pockets for the key to his TARDIS as they stepped out into daylight. The magical box of the TARDIS stood, unharmed by the Daleks despite their use of the rear cave entrance. "I put in a security system, makes it go one second into the future whenever I've let it alone and Daleks are near. We can't have them getting their suckers on the TARDIS."<br><br>"So where do you want to go?" the Doctor asked whilst sliding his key into the door and unlocking the TARDIS. "The moon? Saturn? China? Australia? Space Australia? Australia 2.0?"

				"I don't know that <em>anyone</em> could keep you sane," Robin said, trying to avoid the question another minute. She squeezed his hand again as they arrived at the TARDIS. "And... well, none of those places, actually." She bit her lip, unsure how the Doctor would react to her request. Again, her fingers wandered up to pull at her locket, the gold shining mutedly in the dim light.<br><br>"I'd like to go to... Niceville, Florida," she said in a bit of a rush. "I um... want you to meet my family. And I need to get some clothes and you know. Stuff."

				The Doctor came to a halt after the words left her mouth. He froze on the spot for a second before nodding slowly. "I see," he said quietly before turning his head to look at Robin. "Well, if that's what you want then- BYE BYE!" the Doctor yelled before yanking the door open and rushing inside, closing the door behind him and locking it before Robin could get so much as a foot in the door.<br><br>"I'm no good with parents Robin!" He called out from behind the door. "Every time I meet someone mum or dad they either try to kill me, grope me, slap me, seduce me, punch me, kiss me or worse, make me settle down," he said before shuddering. "Can't we just go to Australia 2.0, it's there's an amazing hotel there that's run by kangaroos in waistcoats. Kangaroos in waistcoats, Robin!"

				Before Robin even knew what was going on, the Doctor had fled into the TARDIS and locked the door. And even though she knew they were all gone, she glanced behind her nervously to make sure none of the metal-armored Daleks were rolling up with their hateful cries. Luckily, she found herself alone, and turned back to the door to pound on it.<br><br>"Hey, no fair!" The girl yelled, making a face even though the Doctor probably couldn't see it. "You don't even know my parents! They're happily married with two children, which rules out the groping, seducing, and kissing, and they're extremely non-violent, which rules out the other stuff! Plus, they trust me, so they know I'd never choose to associate myself with anyone of questionable intent." With a small smile, she thought fondly of her parents... Before the grin grew wider and more teasing.<br><br>"And I don't really think this is a fair trade," Robin added, crossing her arms over her chest and tapping her foot, "You get to take a girl whizzing through time and space, showing her amazing things but getting her all scarred up in the process... And said girl can totally save your life and quite possibly the <em>entire freaking universe,</em> but if she requests you meet her family... You get all afraid of commitment? I don't see how that works."

				There was no reply from the Doctor at first. He just left her standing outside of the TARDIS as he considered the very good points that she had made. Then, with a cry of frustration, he opened the doors of the TARDIS and waggled his finger in front of her nose. <br><br>"Okay, we'll go meet your parents," he said with a nod. "But, I have some rules I want to lay down! First of all, they will not ever step into the TARDIS unless its an emergency." <br><br>"Secondly, we will not be taking them with us - it'll starts with the parents and then suddenly before I know it I've got an entire family tree crashing at my place, touching my stuff with their human hands." <br><br>"Thirdly, your mother will not slap me without warning, I am tired of mothers slapping me before I even know what I've done wrong."<br><br>"And finally, no member of your family is to ever try and shoot me with a pistol, rifle, crossbow, long bow, catapult or any other device that can fire lethal projectiles," he said before pausing to let the points hang in the air. "Are we clear, Robin?"

				With a smug smile, Robin walked past the Doctor into the TARDIS, making sure her shoulder brushed him as she did so. In the back of her mind, she wondered how many times he had met his companions' families... But with another small smile she thought that hers would probably be the most... Astonishing. Even if they didn't shoot at him. <br><br>"I agree to your terms and conditions," she said solemnly, holding out her hand to shake him. "I told you, they are quite nonviolent, and I seriously doubt they even own any lethal weapons. Also you aren't only meeting my parents. The experience wouldn't be complete unless you met my little brother too. But don't worry, I doubt he'll try to hurt you either." But then her smile faded a little, and she narrowed her eyes. This time it was her turn to waffle a finger at the Doctor. <br><br>"I should warn you though. I never lie to my family. And I don't intend to start now."

				"Fantastic, we may as well cut to the chase anyway. In fact, tell them as soon as they open the door. I want to get at least five seconds to run back to the TARDIS before they light torches and try and stab me with pitch forks," the Doctor mutter gloomily as he followed her inside the TARDIS. "And how little is your brother, because if he's younger than ten I'm going to add another rule. Your brother is not to kick me in the crotch."<br><br>He walked up to the TARDIS and began to flick buttons, grumbling the entire time about how Robin was making a bad day worse by introducing him to her family. The TARDIS sprung to action and instantly dematerialised, flying through the time vortex and spinning its way to Florida once again.<br><br>When it landed, the Doctor let out a heavy sigh before gesturing to the doors, "Your home awaits my lady."

				"I think you'll be surprised at how very open-minded my family is going to be," Robin said, trying her best to smother the laugh that was threatening to surface. "Seriously. They'll like you. I doubt there will be even one attempt on your life. My brother is sixteen. I really think you'll be very okay." Smiling, she followed him to the console and patted his arm.<br><br>As the TARDIS arrived, Robin's entire family came to stare out the window, wondering at the loud noise coming from the yard. Robin strode out of the TARDIS proudly, and the three faces at the window disappeared, only to come (attached to bodies) running out the door. Her mother screamed, her bright red hair in complete disarray around her face. Her father, a tall, heavily-built man, was staring at them with his mouth open. And her brother looked like he was going to jump out of his skin.<br><br>After a moment, Robin arrived to where her family stood. She squeezed her mother, kissed her father on the cheek, and ruffled her brother's flaming hair. All three were very obviously ginger, with freckles dotting their entire bodies. Turning to them, Robin grinned broadly.<br><br>"Doctor, this is my family! Mom is Rita, Dad is Dennis, and the brother is Allen. Baker family, meet the Doctor!" She hoped he had followed her out of the TARDIS.

				The Doctor had no followed her out of the TARDIS. Robin gestured to a empty space. Then, gradually, the door opened and the Doctor poked his head out of the TARDIS, looking cautious, as if expecting to get hit by a car or get shot through the head. <br><br>Eventually, he turned to Robin's family and his eyes widened as he looked from one to the other. Slowly, he stepped out of the TARDIS and cast Robin a curious glance, before walking up to her father and staring at him at an uncomfortably close distance. He then circled every member of her family, pulling out his sonic screwdriver and scanning them one by one as he moved around them.<br><br>After leaning in and sniffing Robin's mother he walked back to the TARDIS and turned to Robin before throwing the screwdriver into the air and catching it in the palm of his hand.<br><br>"Okay, I've come to a conclusion..." he said as he pocketed the screwdriver. "They're all ginger," he said almost accusingly as he pointed at Robin's family.&nbsp; "Robin, every member of your family is a bright red headed ginger with hair that burns fire red. They're gingers! Gingers with ginger hair!" The Doctor exclaimed before pausing.<br><br>He let out a sigh of frustration before turning and banging his head against the TARDIS. "That is not fair!" He yelled between the collisions.&nbsp; "I want to be ginger!"

				Robin's family looked on with states of mild bewilderment as the Doctor did his little performance. Her mother seemed to be having a hard time deciding whether she wanted to look at the Doctor or Robin, but she eventually settled on the Doctor... And her expression was slowly turning from shock into excitement. Suddenly, she elbowed Dennis lightly. <br><br>"Robin, dear," she said, her voice kind, "I have two questions. One... What in the world happened to you? You're all scarred up! And two... Is this man an alien?" She seemed to catch herself then, looking almost secretively toward their neighbors' houses. "Wait, wait, you two better come inside first. Myra is the noisiest woman I've ever met and I don't want her catching wind of this." At that, she gave the Doctoe&nbsp; wide smile before turning around and walking toward the back door of the house. <br><br>The house was small, but had two stories, with a widen staircase meandering up the back of it. The walls were a light yellow, and lined with Hardy Plank (since it held up well against hurricanes). From the back deck, the view was spectacular. The house was on the bay, with a dock stretching out around fifty feet into the calm water. A small boat was tied to the end of it, bobbing up and down gently with the waves. On either side of the house were two huge stucco behemoths, obviously the homes of people with money to burn. <br><br>As Robin's mother went up the back stairs, her father and brother followed. Robin hooked we arm through the Doctor's... Mostly to make sure he would follow them inside. <br><br>"See, I told you they'd like you!" She told him as they followed her family upstairs. The scene inside could only be described as eccentric. In some ways, it resembled any normal household - a kitchen with appliances, a living room with a sizable television, small bedrooms with furniture... But in others, it was completely not the usual living place. There were strange gadgets everywhere, with blinking lights and whirring parts. It was not unlike the inside of the TARDIS. <br><br>"Please, Doctor, have a seat," Dennis said excitedly, gesturing to the yellow couch. <br><br>"Sorry for the state of things, we weren't expecting company. Between you and me, the neighbors have been trying to get us to move out for a long time, but I think our home has a certain charm, don't you?" Her mother was speaking quickly, bustling around the kitchen. "Do you like tea? I can make some for you. Robin always loved a good cup of hot tea, and got us all hooked." She had the same gentle Southern accent as her daughter. <br><br>"Since you missed the introductions," Robin said with a pointed look at her friend, "I'll say again. My mom is Rita, Dad is Dennis, and brother is Allen. What I failed to mention is... They're sort of... Alien enthusiasts." Allen smiled broadly, his bright blue eyes crinkling. <br><br>"Robin never got into it," her brother said, "but we like it. So what's going on, Robin? Is he really an alien?" Robin thought for a moment before a wicked smile appeared on her face. She turned toward&nbsp; the Doctor. <br><br>"I think I'll let <em>him</em> tell you. I really need a shower. So you guys can all just get to know each other!" With that, she headed to the bathroom, laughing to herself.

				"They're luring me into a false sense of security Robin," the Doctor whispered as they followed her family inside. When they entered the house the Doctor seemed to marvel at the interior, clearly impressed by the amount of gadgets and gizmos that lay about the place. If they had been trying to impress him, then it worked. <br><br>"No," the Doctor mumbled before shaking his head. "No... its all too perfect, they're trying to pull me into a trap. Robin, we need to leave now-"<br><br><em>"Please, Doctor, have a seat,"</em> Robin's father offered cheerfully.<br><br>"I'd love to!" The Doctor exclaimed, a little more louder than necessary, his face lit up with pleasant but obviously forced delight. <br><br>He didn't relax after sitting down on the bright yellow sofa. The Doctor seemed to be on edge the entire time he listened to the family converse. His nervousness only got worse when he learned that they were alien enthusiasts. The idea that the family could want to trap him and keep him locked up as the prize of their collection was going round and round in his head. It made him want to run for the door, he had been in situations like this one too many times.<br><br>When Robin left them alone the Doctor just stared at the family in total bewilderment. He couldn't think of what to say or do, his only thought was to run for his life, jump into the TARDIS and then go back to 1953 and hide there until Robin forgave him for bailing on her.<br><br>The idea became more and more tempting the more he thought about, but then his eyes caught sight of a particular gadget that lay on the ground and at once all thoughts of running away disappeared as curiosity took over.<br><br>"Hold on..." the Doctor spoke as he got off the sofa and walked over to the item. He picked it up off the floor and examined it in his hand before smiling brightly. "...you have a Field Gravity Generator!" The Doctor cried with delight as he held the object up to the light. It was a circular silver object that looked like two flat stones stuck together, but the way the Doctor held it gave the impression that it was made from solid gold.

				When the teapot was whistling, Robin's mother poured a cup for the Doctor and one for herself, bringing it over to perch beside him on the couch excitedly. Handing him the cup, she smiled at him when he picked up the Field Gravity generator. <br><br>"Yes, we're not really sure what everything <em>does</em> yet, but we know it's mostly all alien," she said, taking a sip of the tea and wincing as it burned her tongue. "Maybe you could tell us! I mean you're obviously an alien, which is really amazing. Can I interview you? I'd love to tell the club about you. Of course I'll keep your identity quiet and not describe you except to say that you look human and what is that blue box thing you have?" It seemed she couldn't keep her questions inside, and they were all coming out at once.<br><br>"First, dear," her husband said, finally speaking up. "We need to find out what's happened to Robin. Why is her face all scarred up? And if you're an alien... What are your uh... Intentions with her?" He thought for a minute. "I mean I'm really fine if you're her... boyfriend, or something, but... You'd better be a good person and treat her well. And so far it seems like you aren't doing a very good job." Allen was the one to elbow him this time.<br><br>"What he means is, how did you and Robin meet? And what happened to her?"

				The Doctor ignored most of Rita's requests, instead focusing on the object he held in his hand. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ball of string, that he began to tie around the circles until it resembled a yo-yo and began to hurl the device, watching with glee as it spun on the end of its string.<br><br>"Gravity normal," he said before his ears pricked up as Robin's father began to ask the questions that he had been dreading. In complete silence he placed the yo yo device on the arm of the sofa and began to walk around the place, drinking the hot tea and looking at everything but the members of her family.<br><br>He picked up objects from the floor and examined them one by one, he looked at books they kept on their shelves and gazed out their windows in wonder, but he didn't so much as glance at the parents or Robin's younger brother. After making his way around the room twice in silence, he spoke.<br><br>"We met by chance. I saved her life at while she was at work a while back," the Doctor spoke formally. "Universal Studios was under attack by an alien threat. I dealt with it, Robin helped....and then some time after the whole grizzly affair, I ruined her life. Enemies of mine tracked her down and did that to her."<br><br>He had to his family while he talked, but he managed to turn his head to look at them from over his shoulder before speaking softly, "And I will never forgive myself Mr and Mrs Baker. I will never forgive myself for what I do to good people."

				An almost palpable silence filled the room. Rita had her cup halfway to her mouth; Dennis was staring - again open-mouthed - at the Doctor; Allen was fiddling with a piece of paper he had in his hand. After a moment, Rita slowly put her cup down and stood up to confront the Doctor.<br><br>"Well," she said, her voice a little breathless. "That sounds very interesting. But I'd like to say something. I very seriously doubt that you ruined her life. Robin is a very, very smart girl. If you'd ruined her life, she would have nothing to do with you. She knows how to take care of herself, and she knows who to include in her life and who not to include. If she's decided you're someone to have in her life... Well, I trust her judgement." At that, she sat down on the couch and looked to Dennis, who heaved a sigh.<br><br>"If you couldn't tell," he said, placing a hand on his wife's knee and patting it gently, "Robin is adopted. When she was just a baby, someone left her on our door with only that locket. There was nothing else... no name, no nothing. Only a little note that said <em>'Keep her safe.'</em> No one knows where she came from... We had to get all new documents for her and go through legal hell to keep her."<br><br>"It's been worth it, though," Rita added. "She's amazing. We never kept it from her - not that we could have, anyway - but she's not like most. She had no desire to find her birth parents. She figured if they left her behind they must not have wanted her. She's never called us anything other than Mom and Dad. Like I said. She knows who to keep in her life, and who to let stay out of it, Doctor."<br><br>"If Robin trusts you, and if she likes you and feels safe with you... We feel the same way," Allen added with a smile. "She's always been sort of like our guardian angel. Even though she never got into the alien thing... Which I guess has changed now... Well, you can imagine the way people make fun of us. And Robin was always there to stand up for us. So yeah. We rely on her a lot, and we trust her."

				The Doctor was speechless. Nothing could have prepared him for that. He had been expecting to be slapped or shouted at. He had been preparing himself for death threats and attempts on his life. He had been ready to face any insult or slight they threw at him...but yet, there words had been kind and supportive and they had done they up most to make him feel less responsible.<br><br>It was horrible. It was worse than yelling, tears and violence. Hearing them talk to him with such understanding made him want to scream. Why on earth didn't they understand that he had let them down?!<br><br><em>Beware...</em><br><br>He froze and clutched his head. He had been listening to Robin's father talk of her adoption and then Allen speak of her lack of interest in aliens. He wasn't sure why, but something was bothering him about what they had said.<br><br><em>Beware....</em><br><br>Was it something he had missed? Had he not been listening while they had confessed to brutal murder and nefarious intent? No, he was sure he had heard everything, but yet there was something in the words, something he had missed, and it was eating at him. <br><br><em>Beware the child...</em><br><br>What did that mean? Where had that even come from? Why could he hear a low voice telling him to beware a child? And what child? There were no children in the room!<br><br><em>Beware the child...</em><br><br>"I...I..." the Doctor stammered, his eyes closed tight as he felt pain begin to spread through his mind. He staggered to his knees and began to feel around the room as the pain built up and made his eyes screwed shut. His hand landed on the yo-yo from earlier and he felt the device slip through his fingers and fall to the floor.<br><br>"I...I..." the yo-yo hit the ground with a thud. The Doctors eyes opened wide before he looked around the room in alarm. "The Gravity's off..." he whispered before springing to his feet. "Everyone. Out the house. The Gravity's off," he said before looking around at them. "MOVE!" He snapped before sprinting across the room.<br><br>"ROBIN! ROBIN! WE NEED TO LEAVE, NOW!"

				The reaction from the Doctor was not what the Bakers had expected. For a moment, they could only stare at him with wide-eyed shock. Why was he acting like their words were causing him pain? Was he having some sort of fit? Rita stood up to lend him a hand when he went to his knees... But then the strange man was shouting about the gravity being off, and telling them to run.<br><br>With a frightened glance back at her family, Rita ran over, grabbed the hands of her husband and her son, and pulled them up. They ran out the back door, but Rita stopped at the last second.<br><br>"Don't let anything happen to Robin!" she shouted, before joining her family in the back yard, staring worriedly back up at the house. <br><br>Robin was still in the shower when she heard the Doctor's yells from outside the bathroom. Groaning, she switched the water off, and only then did she hear the urgency in his voice. All she had brought with her into the bathroom was a tanktop and shorts, but she pulled them on quickly before running out into the hall. She saw how frantic she was and looked up at him, her soaking hair dripping loudly onto the floor.<br><br>"What's wrong?" she shouted, worried by the look in his eyes.

				"We have to go now!" The Doctor yelled and grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her along as he sprinted for the door. "Something is affecting the gravity. It's reversing on itself. The last time that happened I got put on the moo- ARGH!" The Doctor screamed before collapsing onto his knees as gold fire shot down the right side of his head. <br><br>"NO! NO! NO! Not now! Not now!" He roared as he collapsed onto one knee, clutching the wound with fury before looking up at Robin and growling. "Leave me. Go. Now!" He said before falling back and collapsing onto the carpet.<br><br>Light was beginning to flood through the windows of the house. A grating sound was echoing through the room that sounded metallic and harsh, like the roar from gears of some sort of heavy machinery. Object were beginning to rise into the air and the floor began to fall away from them as gravity reversed completely and sent them hurtling into the ceiling.<br><br>The Doctor roared in agony the entire time. The fire was spreading across his body, becoming more aggressive as further memories began to flood into his mind. Memories that astounded him, for they weren't even connected to the memory that had sparked off his partial regeneration in the first place.<br><br>"Robin," he groaned and turned his head to face her as they clattered against the ceiling. "I'm sorry."<br><br>Everything went white.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The Doctor awoke in one piece. Face down on wooden floor boards that were dusty and smelled of old oak. He rolled onto his back and looked up at an old, battered, ceiling, full of cobwebs and crumbling plaster. The room smelled of dust and aged wood. It tickled the Doctor's nostrils and made him sneeze loudly and sit up with a jolt.<br><br>"Worst...afterlife...ever..." he muttered after wiping his nose. "I hope that there's more to this than just old wood. I expect my afterlife to have a jukebox at least," he mumbled before examining himself. He was still dressed in his normal clothes and his tools had not been removed. He was unhurt, but a little grubby from the layer of dust that coated his anorak and trousers.<br><br>He looked to one side and found Robin lying next to him, still dressed in shorts and a shirt, but dry and dusty like him. It was almost as if someone had left them to sleep for a thousand years in an empty room they hardly used. The Doctor hoped it wasn't the case.<br><br>"Robin, wake up. We're alive," the Doctor spoke. "Wake up. You need to thank me for saving your life. I probably saved your life."

				Robin had absolutely no idea what was happening, but by that time she had learned that when the Doctor said to run, it was a good idea to just go along with it. And so she did, letting him take her toward the door, fervently hoping her family had gotten out safely. But then her friend was on the floor, gold light shooting across his head like the other times... And soon she was beside him, feeling the same pain. His memory flooded into her mind and she sat beside him... She knew she wouldn't have left him anyway.<br><br>"I'm not going without you!" she yelled over the commotion, reaching for his hand but unable to grasp it. Then they were flying into the ceiling; Robin hit is hard with a loud grunt, but managed to keep her head from making too hard an impact. At his soft apology, she managed to smile, hoping he saw it before everything went completely blank.<br><br>***<br><br>She could hear the Doctor talking, but it sounded like he was at the other end of a tunnel. It was very hard to make out what he was saying, but she tried to fight her way back to the surface. Finally, Robin felt her eyes flutter open, and she heard the end of what he said. Looking up, she saw old, wooden rafters of a ceiling that looked very old. The smell of oak filled her nose... And she sneezed as she got a lungful of dust.<br><br>There was also a layer of dust covering her body, as if she had been lying in the same position for a long, long time. Worry clouded her face and she sat up quickly, sneezing again as the dust flew into a cloud in the air. Panicking, she looked over at the Doctor.<br><br>"Where are we? Where is my family? Are they okay?" Her gaze turned accusing. "And don't you dare tell me to thank you for saving my life when you don't even know if it's true yet!"

				"Of course its true! Everything went according to plan splendidly," the Doctor said as he gestured to the empty room around them. "I mean look at this place! Its a completely empty, very dusty, room. Doesn't it just scream me?" He asked before getting to his feet and groaning as he stretched out. It felt like his entire body had been stuck in one position for years.<br><br>"I don't know whats going on," he admitted before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his sonic screwdriver. "But, we'll find out. You will see your family again.

				Robin worked at dusting herself off while she was listening to the Doctor. It made absolutely no sense... They were in her house, she was taking a shower, and the Doctor was talking to her family... And then they were here? How was it possible? The dust on her skin was so thick it took several minutes to even get most of it off. <em>So strange...</em> she thought.<br><br>"Well thanks for saving my life and bringing me to this beautiful place," she sneered, for some reason feeling rather angry with the Doctor.

				"What?" The Doctor exclaimed. "But, there could be an axe murderer on the other side of that door or an army with big guns that are just waiting to shoot me to death with bullets. Bullets that kill!" He said before sighing and rolling his eyes. "Fine, but if I get shot your cleaning up the blood."<br><br>The Doctor walked up to the door and placed his hand on the door knob. He braced himself against the door and breathed in deep before opening the door slowly and poking his head out of the door.<br><br>"Okay...Robin I have good news!" The Doctor called out to her before ducking back into the room and grinning at her. "We're at Universal Studios. We're not going to get blown apart by guns or chopped to death or burned alive. We're just going to get over charged for diet coke."<br><br>He opened the door wide to reveal a long corridor full of children in black robes and pointed hats. Each of them wore colors of red, green, blue or yellow and were chatting loudly with each other as they walked up and down the corridors. In their hands they held sticks and books, while some carried broomsticks and cauldrons.<br><br>"We must have been exposed to an unexpected spacial distortion field and got transported to the theme park. Your family is probably around here somewhe-" the Doctor paused as something walked past the doorway, a huge creature with the body of a horse and the top half of a man.<br><br>"Robin...tell me that Universal Studios is employing aliens now," the Doctor murmured as he watched the centaur continue down the corridor.

				When the Doctor proclaimed that they were at Universal, Robin's mouth dropped open. Of all places... Why had they been transported <em>there?</em> Part of her, on the other hand, felt relieved. At least they weren't in some sort of immediate danger. At least there were no hostile, ugly aliens trying to kill them as soon as they stepped out of the door.<br><br>And her family. The relief coursed through her veins as he said that her family would be there. Gratefully, she stepped forward, only to be as shocked as the Doctor was. The centaur was huge and beautiful, his face proud and his horse's body muscular. There was obvious power in him, and Robin felt very afraid if this was to be her next alien adversary.<br><br>"Um, no, not to my knowledge," she said with a gulp, sliding her hand into the Doctor's. Something seemed oddly familiar, and she could see why the Doctor had thought this was Universal. It very much resembled the Harry Potter theme park... But it definitely seemed a little more authentic.<br><br>"Okay, this is not Universal Studios. Are those... wands?"

				"No they're not. They're just sticks that are being carried around by children. They are not wands," the Doctor replied firmly, right before witnessing one of the children point their wand at the ceiling and shoot out a ray of sparks after yelling a strange word. "Okay, they're not sticks. They're holding no heat sparklers-"<br><br>The Doctor stopped mid sentence, from out of the ray of sparks emerged a tiny blue bird that flew across the corridor and perched on another child's head. The child laughed and turned to face the perpetrator before raising his own wand and calling out an equally odd word before firing a beam of light which turned the troublesome kid into a lama.<br><br>"Okay, they're not sparklers. They're holding advanced technology equipped with living matter transporters and simulation field generators," the Doctor looked troubled as he watched the children. Others around them were laughing and pointing, while some were starting their own wand battles and casting bright lights at each other with varying effects.<br><br>"This is wrong..." the Doctor whispered. "This is so wrong. Nothing about this is right, its all....so....<em>wrong</em>"

				Robin watched the magic happen with a completely bewildered look on her face. These kids were actually making sparks appear out of nowhere and turning each other into animals. For some reason, Robin really didn't think that could happen, even if they all really had advanced alien technology. And to her, these children all seemed human.<br><br>"What is this place?" she asked. "I mean, if I didn't know any better, I'd say we need to call up JK Rowling and let her know her books aren't fictional."

				"Her books are fictional Robin," the Doctor replied sternly before charging through the crowd of children, almost knocking some of them down as he moved, and pressing himself to the wall opposite them. He listened at the wall with an intense look on his face. He had such concentration that it almost seemed as if he was trying his best to find a fault, something that would tell him that what they were seeing wasn't real.<br><br>After a minute he let out a cry of frustration and walked back, pushing a teenager out of his way, who cast him a scornful look before continuing on.<br><br>"Robin, punch me in the face," the Doctor spoke firmly before pointing to his cheek and tilting his head in preparation. "Come on, punch me right in the face, as hard as you can."

				Robin followed the Doctor with some bewilderment, unsure whether he knew what he was doing or was just as lost as she was. A smile flickered across her lips at the thought of him not knowing what to do... But she still pressed her ear against the wall as well, not hearing anything, just trying to find something to do. Startled when the Doctor yelled, she jumped, before following him back.<br><br>When he made his request, she leveled a look at him before pulling a fist back in preparation. Then, with all her might, she surged forward with her arm, landing a hard, square punch on his jaw. <br><br>"You don't have to ask me twice," she said brightly, shaking her hand.

				The Doctor staggered back with a groan as the punch connected. He shook his head and blinked repeatedly as he tried to clear the pain out of his head. He wiped away the blood that formed at his mouth before nodding at Robin, rubbing his cheek with one hand before saying."That a girl."<br><br>He turned to look at the crowds of kids, that were now gradually dispersing as they presumably made their way to their lessons. As he watched them leave he frowned deeply before running a hand through the blonde mess of hair on his head.<br><br>"Okay, so it's not a mechanically created environment, hallucinogenic effects or mind control. This is an actual physical replica of Hogwarts with real kids and advanced technology that is able to create these special effects," the Doctor spoke whilst rubbing his jaw. "Either that or..." his voice trailed off before he turned to Robin and grinned at her in an unsure manner.<br><br>"We're in Hogwarts Robin Baker. We're in a world of magic and are in a gigantic heap of trouble," he said before rubbing his hands together and making his way down the corridor. "Fancy taking a look?"

				Robin grinned to see the Doctor reeling from her hit. It was nice to know she was strong enough to deliver a good, hard punch if she needed to. Even if it did hurt her hand... But what her friend was saying made absolutely no sense. If this wasn't aliens, it had to be... Really Hogwarts. A school of witchcraft and wizardry that was the setting of a world-famous book series.<br><br>Which was, of course, totally impossible.<br><br>"I'd love to take a look," she said, smiling up at the Doctor as he rubbed his jaw. "If we're in Hogwarts, you need to go to the Hospital Wing and see Madam Pomfrey." The words, though strange, sounded natural to Robin's ears after having read the books so many times. Hogwarts! She couldn't believe it... It seemed too good to be true.

				"Oh no, I'm not wasting any time getting seen to by a fictional nurse and being force fed chemicals of unknown origin. I know exactly where to go," the Doctor said before turning around a corner, narrowly avoiding a gang of kids, that dodged past him with a giggle. "We're going straight to the top. We're going to find Dumble-"<br><br>"Professor Smith!" The shrill voice of an old woman called from behind them, causing the Doctor and Robin to come grinding to a halt. Standing behind them was a tall, stern looking old woman with jet black hair tied back under a pointed hat, cocked to one side. She was dressed in tartan patterned robes and was staring at the Doctor expectantly through square shaped glasses. "May I ask where you are going? Your lesson is about to begin."<br><br>The Doctor's mouth fell open, he turned his head slowly to Robin before turning back to the woman. "You're Professor McGonagall," he said with wonder, unable to fight the smile that was forming on his lips. "You are Professor Minerva McGonagall."<br><br>"I see your powers of observation are not going to waste Professor Smith," Professor McGonagall said pointedly. "May I ask why you are not in lesson?"<br><br>"I don't go to school. I'm a grown man," the Doctor replied dumbly causing the Professor to sigh heavily and roll her eyes.<br><br>"Of course you don't, that's why you are a <em>professor</em>," she spoke in a tired voice before turning to glance at Robin. "Really Mrs Smith, I really thought you would keep your husband in check. His talent with magic is unquestionable, but he must improve his organizational skills. He has been late to every lesson he has taught for the last week."<br><br>"W-Wait, what?" the Doctor asked in alarm, his cheeks burning as he rapidly looked back and fourth from the old woman to Robin. "I-I...w-what? I work here? With my wife?"<br><br>"You are the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor!" Professor McGonagal exclaimed. "Now hop to it if you would care to be so gracious. You and your wife have a class to teach!" She said before shooing them away.<br><br>The Doctor just stared at the old woman in complete bafflement, swallowing slowly before nodding, "Y-yeah...okay....I will go and teach a class of kids about magic....because I work here...with my wife..." the Doctor said before turning on the spot and slowly making his way in the opposite direction.<br><br>"I am having serious trouble deciding if this is a dream or a nightmare," the Doctor breathed before looking left and right expectantly. "No...no... if it were a nightmare I would get that fat bloke in the tweed showing up with his annoying bird calls."

				When the voice of the woman came from behind them, Robin spun on the spot, her hand flying to her mouth. Then her eyes bugged out as she realized who this woman was... Professor McGonagall. A fictional, stern witch was standing in front of them, reprimanding the Doctor for being late to teach a fictional class about magic. It was absurd, it was impossible...<br><br>And then it grew even more absurd when she turned to Robin and accused her of being the Doctor's <em>wife</em>. A choked laugh was all that Robin could muster under her duress; it was too much to fathom after what had happened. Helplessly, she looked at the Doctor, hoping he had some sort of plan. But then he was muttering about nightmares and she realized that he probably didn't.<br><br>"Um," she said, looking around in awe. "Um, we're in Hogwarts. And we just talked to <em>Professor McGonagall.</em> And as awesome as it is that she's exactly like she is in the books, that doesn't change the fact that this is completely impossible and you're supposed to be teaching a class that doesn't exist and <em>I'm in the middle of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry wearing a tank top, shorts, no shoes, and no bra.</em>" She crossed her arms over her chest self-consciously.<br><br>"Also I'm glad to hear you take the prospect of me being your wife as a nightmare. Personally I think I would be a great wife, even in a real relationship. But as it is now, Professor, I suggest we get to teaching our class! I better meet freaking Harry Potter!"

				"I'm sure you would be a trophy wife and win awards in wifery, Robin," the Doctor replied, rolling his eyes with a sigh before taking off his anorak and handing it to Robin. "But, this is still a bit of a nightmare. She said I've taught here before. Did you hear that?" The Doctor asked as they walked down the corridor.<br><br>"She said I was late to several lessons, that implies that I have worked here for a short time," he said before reaching into Robin's coat pocket and pulled out his screwdriver again, scanning it over the corridor methodically. "Nothing I'm picking up is telling me that this place is artificial. Everything tells me that it's real, even though we both know that its impossible."<br><br>"Now, the first thought that comes to mind, is that we have traveled to the an alternate reality where evolution kicked in just enough to make their science become a literal physical manifestation, harbored from mental and verbal recognition," he paused for a second to look at Robin and see if she was keeping up before sighing and shaking. "In other words, magic, but magic is impossible. Magic is a word&nbsp; that is used to explain unexplainable things."<br><br>"But...that still doesn't explain why its implied that we're native to this dimension. We're clearly dressed as we were before we left our arguably normal world, so how on earth could we live here?" the Doctor asked before coming to a halt outside a large door marked, <em>Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor's John Smith and Robin Smith</em>.<br><br>"Ready to go teach kids magic Robin?" He asked as he looked at the sign dauntingly.<br><br>ooc: That last post of yours was hilarious :D

				Robin rolled her eyes in return, accepting the Doctor's jacket grudgingly and pulling it on. It smelled like him... Slightly foreign but nice all the same. She took a discreet whiff as he spoke about their science becoming a physical manifestation. A word flashed through her head... A word that she thought must have come from the Doctor's memories. <em>Carrionite.</em><br><br>Shaking her head, she walked with him down the corridor, hoping against hope that there was nothing sinister lurking here. <em>Please just let this be fun,</em> she thought to herself, before realizing something. They didn't have the TARDIS this time. As she opened her mouth to point this out, they stopped outside a door with their names on it. A shiver traveled down her spine as she looked at it... How could they have a classroom? They'd only just arrived.<br><br>"Yeah, this is very weird," she said in a whisper. "But I guess so. I really hope they're used to us being dressed strangely because we certainly are now. After you, Doctor."<br><br>ooc; Haha thank you! It was what I would have said in her situation&nbsp; ;D

				The Doctor straightened his bolo tie and watched the door with a thoughtful expression as he decided how exactly to enter the class room. After a few seconds thought, he kicked the door open and strode in, watching from the corner of his eye as a class of sixty children, all aged between eleven and twelve, stopped chattering and watched him with fascination.<br><br>The room was exactly how they would picture it to look. Skeletons of dangerous mythical creatures hung from the ceiling, tanks with various deadly creatures lined the walls, magical portraits hung on the walls and various bits of magical equipment lay in various places. There was a desk at the front of the room with two chairs behind it, lined with dark blue leather, the same color as the TARDIS.<br><br>The Doctor hovered at the front of the class room, unsure of exactly where to sit, before he finally made a decision of what to do.<br><br>"Raise your hands if you're in Slytherin," he called as he turned to the crowd of kids. A murmur of confusion passed through them, before fifteen children raised their hands. <br><br>"Keep them raised if your name is Draco Malfoy," he said and watched as fourteen hands dropped, leaving a young boy with bleach blonde hair and a cruel expression waving his arm in the air, staring at him with annoyance and confusion. <br><br>"Fantastic!" The Doctor spoke before putting his hands in his trouser pockets and pacing on the spot. "My name is the Doctor, ignore the name Professor Smith, that's a boring name that you can call my wife. I'm hear to teach you about defending yourself against the Dark Arts. Together we will make a mysterious journey through this magical world and learn just what dark arts are and how we can defend ourselves against them."<br><br>"Sir, can I put down my hand now?" Draco asked, unable to keep the spite out of his voice.<br><br>"No you may not Draco," the Doctor said before hoping into one of the chairs and putting his feet up on the desk. "No you may not."

				Robin followed quickly after the Doctor, not wanting to be left behind in the strange castle. Looking around in awe, she watched the faces of the children, so young and excited, follow them down the middle of the room. Once they reached the front, she let the Doctor do the talking while she looked at all the things lining the walls. Here was the skeleton of a troll; there were the legs of an Acromantula; in the corner was a tank containing a Grindylow... It was really all too much for her, and a broad smile spread across her face.<br><br>When she turned around, Robin remembered that she was in front of a room full of expectant students. The Doctor seemed to be calling her boring, and still calling her his wife, which made her blush furiously. Also, he appeared to be in the middle of torturing Draco Malfoy. Resisting the urge to gape at the cruel, blonde little character, she sat beside the Doctor, looking at him witheringly.<br><br>"They're about to start calling me by my maiden name if you don't watch it, <em>Doctor,</em>" she said, loudly enough for the class to hear. Several of them snickered softly. "And Draco, you may put your hand down."

Please ignore my wife, she got hit by a confungus charm on the way to work," the Doctor said before glancing at Robin and then sighing as he saw the look on her face. "Okay Draco Malfoy, you can put your hand down," the Doctor said grudgingly and Draco put his arm down, casting a glare in his direction, which the Doctor noticed immediately.<br><br>"You know what? On second thought, put your hand back up," the Doctor said and gestured for Malfoy to raise him arm again. A look of disbelief quickly turned to anger as Draco put his arm up again.<br><br>"Now put it down," the Doctor said and Draco obeyed.<br><br>"Now put it back up again," he said and Draco did.<br><br>"Now put it down down" the Doctor commanded and Draco put his arm down again.<br><br>"Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down," the Doctor called watching as Draco continued to obey, trying his best not to snarl at his teacher as he lifted his arm up and down. "No move it left. Now right. Twirl it around," the Doctor ordered and watched Draco stare at him uncomprehendingly for a moment "I said twirl it, don't make me come over there!"<br><br>Draco began to slowly twirl his arm, beads of sweat ran down his head as the workout took its toll.<br><br>"Best...world destroying crisis...ever..." the Doctor breathed as he watched Draco grow tired from spinning his arm in a circle.

				As much as she wanted to laugh at the spectacle, Robin kept her cool. Draco was, in fact, an annoying twerp, but that didn't mean the Doctor needed to torture him in plain view of the other students. She lightly punched him on the knee before standing, smiling warmly at the classroom full of children. Mentally, she steeled herself, doing her best to sound natural.<br><br>"Class," she said, her voice echoing nicely around the room. "I'm sorry for the Doctor's rude antics. I'm afraid that <em>he's</em> the one who got hit by the Confundus charm on the way here, and he's not quite right yet. Just give him a few minutes and he'll be fine." Smiling at the students, as they seemed to be relaxing a little, she continued. "Now, what lesson are we supposed to be starting today? I'm afraid I've misplaced the plans."<br><br>A girl in the front row began waving her hand madly in the air. She had bushy hair and rather large front teeth, and she was wearing the red of Gryffindor. Robin grinned hugely at her and nodded.<br><br>"Please, Professor," the girl said, giving the immediate impression of being a likable know-it-all. "Today we're supposed to begin learning basic defensive spells."<br><br>"Right you are," Robin said with a laugh. "Five points to Gryffindor. You must be.. Hermione Granger." The girl nodded happily, looking pleased with herself. Robin sat back down. "Please turn to page two hundred and seventy-three, and take out your wands." Looking at the Doctor, her face grew very excited, and she lowered her voice to a whisper.<br><br>"Oh my God," she said, merely breathing the words. "I have always wanted to say, 'Five points to Gryffindor.' Also I just talked to Hermione Granger."

				"You did indeed and sitting next to her are the other two kids that made parents fight over who got to read to their children before they went to bed," the Doctor said before vaulting over the desk and landing in front of the desk. Sitting next to Hermione were two boys, one with very red hair and a lot of freckles, while the other had wiry glasses and a lightning shaped scar on his forehead.<br><br>"Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, the other two members of this magical three musketeer act," the Doctor said as he leaned over the desk and balanced his hand on the palms of his hands. The three kids were staring at the Doctor in confusion and embarassment.<br><br>"Sir...shouldn't we start the lesson?" Harry asked, hesitantly.<br><br>"Why?" the Doctor replied absentmindely.<br><br>"Because... its your job to teach us," Harry said, sounding very uncomfortable.<br><br>"Why?" the Doctor asked again.<br><br>"To protect ourselves of course."<br><br>"From what?" the Doctor asked, tiliting his head to one side. "Monsters? Magic? Dragons? Dark Wizards?" he asked before shaking his head. "Oh no, there are amazing things in the universe but grouping them all under the term, magic, is a bit silly. A monster is a creature that is misunderstood. Magic is science that you don't understand. Dragons are various races of aliens that have visisted Earth at random points and Dark Wizards are nutty old fools that dress up in dark robes and start saying silly things like; <em>The cosmic forces are at work</em>!"<br><br>"You're wrong!" Ron suddenly barked at the Doctor, his ears turning a shade of pink as he glared at him. The Doctor just smiled at him softly before nodding.<br><br>"You're right, I am!" The Doctor cheered as he sank back and gestured to the class. "Okay then class, first things first. I'm going to be teaching you a very simple spell that can be used to fend off every single evil spell in the entire world. Its really easy to learn, all you need to do is point your wand and yell; <em>Alonsy Alonso!</em>"<br><br>"Sir, thats not a real spell. There's no spell in the world that can protect you from every single spell," A kid at the back of the class called out and the Doctor began to grin widely before nodding again.<br><br>"Right you are!" The Doctor said with delight before pulling out his sonic screwdriver again. "Which is why we're going to learn a different spell. It's called the Patronus Charm."<br><br>The moment the words left his mouth a ripple of excitement washed through the crowd of kids. The Doctor beamed at Robin before turning to Harry and crouching down to look him in the eye, "You don't know that spell do you Harry?"<br><br>"No," Harry replied with an unsure shake of his head. "No, I don't sir. What does it do?"<br><br>The Doctor didn't reply, instead he straightened up and walked over to Robin before turning her away from the class and putting his arm around her shoulder, "What do you think so far?" he asked in a whisper. "Did you find anything about what just happened strange?"

				Robin watched the Doctor's antics with a mix of amusement and confusion, her arms crossed over her chest. What in the world was he doing? These poor kids were all around age eleven, hardly ready to handle the Doctor's strange idiosyncrasies. Robin couldn't really handle them all herself, and she was much older than these children. <br><br>But her expression changed to one of wonder when Harry started to speak. Here was the boy who was the center of every childhood dream, the boy who made children wait for a Hogwarts letter even though they knew he wasn't real... And he was sitting right in front of her. The little scar on his forehead almost brought a tear to her eye. How many times had she daydreamed about meeting him? <br><br>And then there was Ron. Loyal, redheaded, absentminded Ron... Robin grinned widely, unable to believe her luck. She only wished she could be their age, and join the little trio on adventures... But she snapped out of it when Ron yelled at the Doctor. Something didn't seem right. And when the Doctor said "Allons-y Alonso," Robin got a flash of a memory... A spaceship called Titanic? <br><br>This was all a little too strange for Robin to handle.<br><br>Her eyes widened as the Doctor said he was going to teach them the Patronus. When he walked back over to her and turned her away, she looked up at him warily.<br><br>"Well, it seemed a little weird that Ron yelled at you like that... And that Harry seemed so eager to have you teach them. But oh my God, Harry Potter, in the flesh! How crazy is this? And you definitely can't teach them the Patronus, they don't learn that until Book Three! You know what I think is <em>really</em> weird, though?" she asked, suddenly realizing something. "Why do we teach Defense Against the Dark Arts? At this point, it should be Quirrel/Voldemort, and this position is cursed..."

				"Crazy? Robin, this is insanity," the Doctor murmured, no longer smiling. "I know all about the creativeness of the Infinite World theory and how it is very possible that anything can potentially exist, but this place is trying to fit us into the universe. It's as if J K Rowling wrote us into her story," the Doctor spoke before glancing back at the kids. "But you are right, it is very strange that we have been asked to do this...judging by their age there should be someone else teaching them, but what grabs my attention most is that we have been chosen to take a job that has one of the highest fatality rates."<br><br>"Coincidence? I think not," the Doctor spoke before suddenly pausing. "Wait, what do you mean I can't teach them Patronus? I can teach them Patronus is I want, its my class!" The Doctor exclaimed before turning to the kids again. "Everyone get out your wands and prepare to learn about the Patronus Charm. Believe me, this will really help you in one or two years time."<br><br>"Sir, do you not think that may be a bit much for us? We have only just begun learning about Defensive Spells after all," Hermione chirped.<br><br>"Awww come on guys, it'll be fun. Don't let my wife win an argument again, it's humiliating!" The Doctor exclaimed before turning his back to them again and lowering his voice to a whisper. "Another out of character moment. Hermione Granger doesn't want to learn about advanced spells," the Doctor murmured, his golden eyes watching the kids carefully out of the corner of his eye. "Ron Weasley loses his temper over a comment that would be considered mad ravings in a magical world and Harry Potter starts insisting that I teach them. Sounds more than a little strange, don't you think?"

				Robin's expression turned from one of awe and excitement to one of worry as the Doctor spoke. She looked out at the children, their faces all so eager... It seemed very strange that there could be anything to do with <em>them</em> in this story. This was the book in which Harry Potter defeated Voldemort for the first time. But in this book, Voldemort was attached to the back of a professor's head... A professor who was conspicuously absent and whose job they had taken.<br><br>Trying her best, Robin put on a sunny smile for the kids, turning back around with the Doctor. When the Doctor said not to let her win an argument, Robin gave him a sour look before thinking for a moment. She looked at the students, appearing to think for a moment, before happily grinning at them all.<br><br>"No, you're quite right, Hermione," she said brightly. "Rule one in this class: Always let the wife win the arguments." The kids giggled behind their hands as she gave them all a wink. "The first spell we're going to learn is the disarming spell. It's quite simple and can be very useful. All you do is point your wand at your opponent and say, very clearly: 'Expelliarmus!' Why don't you all pair up and give it a try?"<br><br>She turned back to the Doctor, dropping the excited look as the students turned to practice.<br><br>"Something is wrong. Very wrong. What's happening, Doctor?"

				"Expeliarmus, you hypocrite! They don't learn that unti-" the Doctor began, but stopped as his ears pricked up before he turned to the chalk board at the front of the class room and pressed himself against it. Concern filled his face as he listened intently at the dusty black board, ignoring the chalk that coated part of his face.<br><br>"I don't know," the Doctor answered softly before stepping back. "But, one thing I do know is this...this world that we're in isn't following the pattern of the books," he said gravely as he stared at the chalk board with a grim expression on his face.<br><br>"Listen to this," the Doctor spoke before placing one hand on the chalk board and the other on the side of Robin's face. What she heard next would no doubt send a chill through her blood.<br><br><em>"Come... let me rip you... let me tear you... let me kill you..."</em> Whispered a deadly, cold and viscous voice inside Robin's head. It's words were laced with venom and seemed to end with a lingering hiss.

				Though she knew Expelliarmus didn't come until book two, Robin figured it would be the safest one to teach them, even if it was out of order. She was about to say so when the Doctor stopped and pressed his face against the board. Quickly, she glanced back at the students, but they were all practicing and couldn't see what he was doing.<br><br>Suddenly the Doctor was pressing his hand against her face, and Robin gasped loudly. The voice was hissing, cold, and cruel... The voice of the Basilisk from the second book. Her look at the Doctor was terrified, and she looked back at Harry. He was frozen with his wand raised, looking toward the wall to the protests of Ron, who was trying to get him to keep practicing.<br><br>"So let me get this straight," Robin said shakily. "We've been put in the middle of some screwed-up version of the Harry Potter books, and we can understand Parseltongue? What is this, Doctor?"

				"Oh yes, we've been placed right in the centre of it all Robin," Doctor said solemnly, but a grin was beginning to form on his face as he looked at the black board. "This place is constantly evolving, perhaps its a Replicator, perhaps this is actually a psychic projection or perhaps this is some psycho alien film directors set and their making their movie with advanced technology," he turned his head to look at Robin and the grin grew even broader. <br><br>"But do you know what? I've got some good news, Robin," the Doctor said before quickly darting forwards again and pressing his ear to the chalk board quickly before dipping back. "The TARDIS is here. It translated the language of the Basilisk, that's how we were able to understand it."<br><br>The Doctor looked back at Harry before rushing over to his side and crouching down next to him. "You can hear it, can't you Harry?"<br><br>"What is that Doctor?" Harry asked, his voice quavering just a little as he stared at the board in alarm.<br><br>"An enemy. Your enemy. Something that someone like you should never have to face, but yet you do, because in moments like these you shine brighter than any wizard, warlock and sorcerer that came before you," the Doctor said with relish before fondling his screwdriver and pointing it at the board. "I think I know why we're here Harry Potter. Me and Robin are going to keep you alive. Those are the rules of the game"

				"This doesn't make any sense, Doctor," Robin said, still listening to the cruel voice with horror. "How can the TARDIS be here? It was in the back yard. We traveled here without it. If the TARDIS is here, that means... My family is too. We have to find them!" But the Doctor ran off again without answering, and she groaned, joining him at Harry's side.<br><br>When the Doctor told him they'd be keeping him alive, Robin put a hand gently around his shoulder.<br><br>"Don't worry, Harry," she whispered with a smile. "The Doctor might seem crazy but he's good at keeping people alive. Well, he has been so far, at least. And I'm not too shabby myself." Then she turned to look at the Doctor.<br><br>"What game are you talking about?"

				"Its all a game Robin, don't you see?" the Doctor asked as he fiddled with the settings of his screwdriver. "We were meant to come down here and teach the kids magic, even thought we know nothing about magic. Judging by the age of these kids, we are meant to be in the first year of Hogwarts, but the moment the kids start learning about the Expelliarmus spell, our challenge gets increased to the level of the second book."<br><br>"And that's what is making me feel a bit ticked off," the Doctor said with spite as he began flashing the screwdriver in Harry's face. "There are forces at work here with the power of a God and they're playing this world like its a game. Everything they do is under their control and they want to see me and you step up to the plate and take on the world like a challenge on a TV game show."<br><br>"It's sick Robin. Very, very, sick, but these beings don't care. They have this place, they control it and everyone inside of it and can throw whatever they like at us, but what makes me sick to my stomach is that they're involving innocent lives," the Doctor stopped scanning Harry and looked at the bulb of the device thoughtfully before scowling. "These kids Robin. They're a hundred percent real. The readings I'm getting show them to be completely and utterly human."<br><br>The Doctor stood up and slid the screwdriver into his trouser pocket before cracking his knuckles and taking one last glance of the chalkboard. "I don't know if this land of magic is the real deal or not Robin, but no one threaten the life of a kid on my watch," the Doctor growled, baring his teeth in anger. "Villains always pay when they threaten kids in front of me."

				When the Doctor said that it was a game, and that all the children were real... Robin couldn't help but pull Harry closer to her side. Looking down at him, her expression grew sad and scared. He was only a little boy, younger than her own brother, and here he was being subjected to an unspeakable act of hatred. It seemed impossible that any race in any universe could be cruel enough to risk the lives of small children.<br><br>"I'm glad you didn't teach them the Patronus, then," Robin said shakily, looking around the room as if in search of a camera of some sort. "I don't think I could handle Dementors just yet. What are we going to do, Doctor?" Looking down at Harry again, she got very, very angry. "And what sort of disgusting people could do this to children?"<br><br>"Harry," came a voice from behind them. Turning, Robin saw that Ron had gone very pale, and was looking wide-eyed at her and the Doctor. "I think you need to get away from them. They're <em>completely mental.</em>"

				"It's a shame, but the list of beings that could do that to children is quite long," the Doctor muttered before he began to rifle through the pockets of the anorak which Robin still wore. He pulled out the Psychic Wrench and his Laser Spanner, before tucking his screwdriver behind one ear. For a moment he held the wrench in the air and looked about the room with intent, as if tracking something unseen.<br><br>"He's absolutely right Harry," the Doctor spoke, breaking concentration as Ron declared him insane. "I am mental and so is my lovely assistant Robin. I mean she <em>chose</em> to follow me into situations like this. You've got to be mental if you want to do that," the Doctor said with a grin before twirling his finger by the side of his head and pointing to Robin.<br><br>"You're a strange man Doctor," Harry said as he looked up at him, clutching his wand tight in his hand as he watched him. "You remind me of someone."<br><br>"Dumbledore, I remind you of Dumbledore," the Doctor said before tucking the spanner under his arm and ruffling Harry's hair. "Now come on, any danger that takes place will follow you, Ron and Hermione. We need to get the three of you away from the rest of the kids."<br><br>"What?" Hermione asked with outrage. "But, we haven't finished our lesson yet!"<br><br>"Oh Hermione Granger, you really need to sort your priorities!" The Doctor spoke before letting out a sudden cheer that made the kids of the class jump with surprise. "I'm sorry, but I kind of just quoted one of you," the Doctor said before winking at Ron. "Very funny line, you'll make Rupert Gringe happy."<br><br>"What the bloody hell are you talking about Doctor?" Ron asked, his face still pale and eyes still wide as he gaped at the Doctor and Robin.<br><br>"Doctor, what did you mean when you said that the danger would follow me, Ron and Hermione?" Harry asked cautiously as he watched the Doctor begin to wave the psychic wrench in the air again. "Surely any trouble would just follow me?"<br><br>"Oh no, Harry. You're not the only bright wizard here. Your mates make a lot of enemies later on in their lives and its really entertaining. If you're in danger then they're in danger," the Doctor said before walking over to the door of the class room and kicking it open. <br><br>"Class, I'm taking Mr Potter, Mr Weasley and Miss Granger to their Head of House. They have detention, the rest of you carry on!" The Doctor called to them before pointing at Malfoy as he sniggered. "Oi, don't be a twerp. It'll get you into a lot of trouble one day."

				"You remind me more of Peeves," Robin said, seething, "But if you keep on making fun of me you're going to look a lot like Nearly Headless Nick fairly soon." Looking at Hermione, she winked, getting a confused look from the young girl. As the Doctor walked to the back of the classroom and to the doors, Robin gathered Harry, Ron, and Hermione and pushed them along with her. <br><br>The three students all gave her strange looks, but they followed all the same. When the Doctor reprimanded Malfoy, Robin crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out at him just before following her friend out the doors. This caused snickers to echo across the room, and she thought she heard a faint "Shut up" from Draco himself.<br><br>"Okay, what do we do, Doctor?" Robin asked, ready to run if need be.

				"Good question, I suppose the game master will be expecting us to follow the story. We're in the second phase of the series. That means that soon, we'll start encountering the victims of the Basilisk, we'll find riddle's diary and go into the forbidden forest to talk to giant spiders before facing off against the monster in the Chamber of Secrets," the Doctor explained as he stepped out of the room and walked down the corridor.<br><br>"What are you talking about Doctor? The things you say... its as if you know whats going to happen next," Harry said as he trailed by his side and looked up at him. "This morning we woke up after a detention in the forbidden forest-"<br><br>"Oh I loved that bit!" The Doctor said with a laugh. "The bit with the dark cloaked figure and the Unicorn. Spine chilling," he said and wiggled his fingers in a spooky manner before the grin faded from his face as Harry looked up at him with disbelief. "I mean...sorry, that must have been very traumatic for you."<br><br>"It wasn't the first time I've been in trouble," <br><br>"Yeah, Harry almost died in a Quiditch match a while ago. Snape started hexing him while he was flying his broom, he nearly fell to his death!" Ron exclaimed as he caught up to the two of them.<br><br>"Robin, be a dear and tell Ron the bad news about Snape after the end of Philosophers Stone," the Doctor as they hurried along the corridor. "I've got to plan our next move and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to behave. Ron is so tempting to tease every time he talks."

				Robin rolled her eyes as the Doctor told them all what happened in the second book. It was obvious that at least part of him was very much enjoying showing off to the kids. Hiding a grin, she turned to Ron and smiled at him.<br><br>"Don't let him fool you," she said to the redhead, ruffling his hair. "He's just a small child trapped in an adult's body. He is right about one thing, though... Professor Snape is a good guy, not a bad guy. He's going to help all of you more than you can possibly imagine." Ron looked up at her like she was completely insane, but Hermione looked simply thoughtful.<br><br>"So, if this is a game," the girl said, "Why do you two know it and the rest of us don't? Did they put some sort of spell on us to make us forget?"

				"Good question, let me think it over for a moment before I answer it. I wouldn't want you guys to freak out if I told you too much," the Doctor spoke as he scratched his chin with the handle of the Psychic Wrench. "It's possible...that you kids have been altered. Tampered with to look young and relive your story. Me and Robin, we know how your story ends, but that doesn't make it fact. Time lines are wibbly and wobbly and always change."<br><br>"But how do you know our story?" Harry asked, his young eyes narrowing on the Doctor accusingly. "How do you know the stories of our lives?"<br><br>"Well you've answered your own question there," the Doctor replied with a frown. "For now, lets just say were Clairvoyant, it'll be much easier to accept than the alternative and we don't have time to waste, for it seems as if we're up against some sort of god."<br><br>"A god? Are you mental?" Ron asked with bewilderment.<br><br>"Ron, I thought we already established this. Yes I am!" The Doctor spoke with a heavy sigh before holding up his finger. "Now, this all powerful being that sets the rules of this game clearly wants us to play along. And he will manipulate the world we're in in anyway to make us move along to his plan, which will more than certainly end with all five of us being killed."<br><br>"The only way to beat the rules is to take advantage of certain rules that are in place. Number one being, if we reveal something about your future, then the world will mold to what we have revealed. Do you understand?" The Doctor asked before noticing Ron staring blankly at him. "In other words, if I were to tell you that you fought a giant crab in your future, then the crab would get summoned along with all the other beasties you would fight along the way."

				"The best way to deal with the Doctor," Robin said, placing her hands on her hips, "Is to just listen to what he says and nod every now and again. Trust me on that one. The only thing he really says that I understand is 'run.'" Turning to the Doctor, her expression grew worried as she realized something.<br><br>"Doctor," she said slowly. "The time line was already messed up when we got here. If this is their first year, there shouldn't be a centaur wandering around the castle... Firenze doesn't start teaching Divination until their fifth year when Umbridge kicks Trelawney out. What does that mean?" Harry and Ron were both giving her confused, vacant looks, but Hermione's eyes were narrowed shrewdly.<br><br>"If he's your husband, why do you call him Doctor?" she asked, crossing her arms. Robin laughed loudly.<br><br>"He is most certainly <em>not</em> my husband," she replied.<br><br>"Then why did we see you snogging in the hallway the other day?" Ron interjected. A furious blush colored Robin's cheeks and she stared dumbfounded at the redheaded boy.<br><br>"That was... obviously a trick of whoever put you here," she said. "Because... He's definitely not my husband."

				The Doctor was quiet for a moment as he considered the point that Robin had made. It was a very good point that disrupted his original assumptions, Firenze had a role to play in the first book, but if he was already present...<br><br>"Thats an inconsistency...." the Doctor whispered, before his face lit up with excitement. He came to a sudden halt before pacing in front of the group, explaining his thinkings at a hundred miles an hour. "They were showing off. They trying to throw off my game by putting me out of my comfort zone. The Doctor, in a world of magic? If it had been an older version of me I would have accused everyone of being a Carrionite or perhaps would have started raving abotu Clarkes Law, it would have been a perfect sucker punch, but what they don't realise is that by doing that, they've created a loop hole in their game!" The Doctor let out a laugh of success before jumping up and down on the spot like an excited child. <br><br>"Kids, I know where we have to go!" He cheered before turning on the spot, just in time to run into a man in black robes, with sallow skin, a hooked nose and greasy black hair. His disapproving hollow eyes glared down at the three children before settling on Rob in and the Doctor.<br><br>"Professor Smith, may I ask why these pupils are out of their lesson?" The man asked, his voice soft contained voice spoke questioningly.<br><br>And then the Doctor punched him in the face.<br><br>The kids gasped as they watched the man groan and fall back onto the floor unconcious. Hermione looked horrified, but Ron and Harry looked a little pleased with the random act of violence. <br><br>"Doctor, you just...punched Professor Snape!" Hermione shrieked, covering her mouth with her hands as she stared down at the teacher in horror.<br><br>"Gods, that nose was hard!" The Doctor cursed loudly, clutching his hand and blowing on his knuckles. "Boy, I miss my Third form. I may have been old and moody but I knew kung-fu!"<br><br>"Doctor, why did you just punch Professor Snape?!" Hermione cried again, unable to tear her eyes away from the body of the professor.<br><br>"Who cares? Do it again!" Ron cheered, unable to stop himself from chuckling.<br><br>"The area is trying to disrupt our journey and return us to the class room. We're exploring the loop hole and it doesn't like that. We need to move quickly before they start throwing other members of staff at us," the Doctor said before pointing onwards with his good hand. "To Firenze's future class room!" He declared before walking forward a few steps, and then stopping abrubtly.<br><br>"Wait, a minute..." the Doctor began. "What did you say about me kissing Robin?"

				Robin simply sighed at the Doctor's ravings; Harry and Ron looked at her like they shared her sentiments. Hermione, however, seemed to be at least attempting to understand what the man was saying. Then, as they all turned around, they found themselves face-to-face with Snape. Robin didn't even have time to gasp before the Doctor had punched him solidly in the face.<br><br>"Hey, watch it!" She exclaimed, crouching next to the man and looking up accusingly at her friend. "I like Professor Snape, he's like the only really reliable character in the whole... well, you know!" But she stood again and followed when the Doctor said to walk toward Firenze's classroom... If only to avoid being accosted by yet more fictional professors.<br><br>When the Doctor stopped, however, she slammed into his back, since she had been looking back at Snape's unconscious form. Another blush rose in her cheeks as he asked the question.<br><br>"We were on our way to Potions," Harry said, while Ron sniggered behind a hand. "And, well, everyone knows that you two are the... er... Strangest professors here. We rounded the corner beside the dungeons and you, Doctor, said something like... 'Come here, you!' And then you started kissing her." His cheeks were red as well, and Hermione had sniffed and looked away, but Ron was by this time roaring with laughter.<br><br>"Yeah," Robin said, rolling her eyes and laughing shakily, "Like that'll ever happen."

				"Hmmm...that's interesting," the Doctor said before patting the pocket he had stored his screwdriver in, but whatever he found interesting about the strange tale he did not share it with them. Instead he kept walking through the corridors with purpose, rubbing his sore knuckles every now and again.<br><br>"Doctor?" Harry asked as they walked. "You say we're going to Firenze's class room, but Firenze doesn't have a class room yet. He's not even a member of staff."<br><br>"Oh really Harry?" The Doctor asked before coming to a halt. "Then if he doesn't have a class room, where was he going earlier? And if he's not a member of staff, what's this?" He asked before pointing at the door which stood next to them baring the words <em>Divination, Firenze</em>.<br><br>"That's impossible! We've been down this corridor loads of time and never noticed that!" Ron exclaimed, his eye buldging in surprise as they looked up at the door.<br><br>"It's new Ron. It's an inconsistency left by the reckless mistake. Or perhaps it's a bug in the system that the Game Master hasn't ironed out yet..." the Doctor said thoughtfully before kicking the door open to reveal a world of trees underneath a dark night sky.<br><br>"Thats amazing..." Hermione breathed, her eyes filling with wonder as they stepped into the room. "Is this room enchanted?"<br><br>"In a manner of speaking," the Doctor said before diving onto the floor and pressing his ear against it. "If I were to guess I would call it a wall paper, but sure, call it an enchantment"<br><br>The Doctor looked up as something in the trees rustled. He got to his feet and motioned for the group to keep back as he stared into the darkness of the forst scenery. "Get back, finding an inconsistency in this place is more than likely to be just as dangerous as it is outside of this room."<br><br>"Then why are we here?" Ron exclaimed, his eyes widening with alarm as the rustling got louder.<br><br>"I'm making this up as I go along Ron, cut me some slack!" The Doctor called back before turning his head to Robin. "Robin, there are two potentials here. One is that this is a cybernetic simulation and we're about to encounter a bug and could be horribly killed. Or, we're in a world being controlled by a god which is getting very mad that we're finding holes in his perfect design and is about to kill us by shaping the world to his design." <br><br>The rustling was getting louder. The limbs of the trees were beginning to shake as the danger grew closer, "What do you prefer Robin?"

				Robin narrowed her eyes at the Doctor but said nothing. What could he have possibly found interesting about that? Heat rose again in her cheeks as she remembered her one slip-up... Kissing the Doctor after they returned to the TARDIS. He had made his feelings very clear then, and she knew it would never be repeated. So what was interesting?<br><br>Then, however, there were more pressing matters at hand. The rustling in the trees was growing louder by the second, and Robin hurriedly pulled the children behind her. If she had any say in this, they would not die unless she died protecting them. When the Doctor asked his question, Robin froze, her eyes wide. Why was he asking her?<br><br>"Doctor," she said through her teeth, "If either way we are probably about to be killed by some giant scary monster, why does it matter which I would prefer? Just figure out a way to save. Our. Lives."

				"I'm going to need you to make a decision here Robin. I have two ways of dealing with whatever comes out of those trees and I really can't decidee which method is best," the Doctor spoke as he crouched low, his eyes narrowing as the trees began to part, almost as if they were letting an animal out of a cage. "This is a tricky one. So do me a favor and decide for me. You've been pretty lucky so far so decide!"<br><br>"Doctor just cast a spell. You're our teacher! Don't you know any magic?" Harry called out from behind him, his fingers clutching his fabled wand and raising it to meet the oncoming threat, but it was clear that Harry wasn't prepared for such a threat.

				"Well don't blame me if I choose the wrong one!" she shouted nervously, watching the trees. "As much as I'd love to see the look on your face if we <em>are</em> dealing with a god... From what I've learned being with you, I'm going to guess it's the cybernetic simulation. And do you know why?" She asked, her panic lessening a little. "All the trees are the same!"<br><br>As she spoke, she felt a strange pang of pride. If the Doctor thought she was lucky... Maybe she wasn't completely clueless after all.

				Something dark grew in the shadows between the trees. A humanoid figure was taking shape that seemed almost like a living shadow. It slowly began to edge forwards, gliding along the ground like a spirit, and with it brought a cold feeling of dread. It was almost as if they were staring at death itself. A living being of pure evil that could snuff them out in hundreds of ways.<br><br>The Ron and Hermione edged back a little, but Harry and the Doctor did not. Instead the Doctor began to crack his knuckles and shake out his limbs, as if preparing for a run, whilst staring down the shadow with a small grin.<br><br>"Listen here Harry, I'm about to teach you how to defend against the Dark Arts," he said before chuckling a little.<br><br>"Doctor, it's You-Know-Who," Harry murmured, eyes narrowed and wand at the ready.<br><br>"No it's not Harry. It's an inconsistency. By the logic of this world this forest is an illusion. Scenery created via magic. Beyond the first few trees is nothing but concrete walls and the sky above our heads eventually turned to a plaster ceiling once you get past the magic," the Doctor said before getting onto one knee.<br><br>"Now, how you take advantage of an inconsistency is pretty simple. If something is inconsistent, then you have to create a certainty to counter it. In other words, you have to prove that reality is right," the Doctor explained before pointing at the shadow. "If this were the work of something godlike or divine then I would have to prove that this thing in front of us can't exist. Since this is the same figure you encountered last night, I would ask you to retell the story, which would thus prove that this figure was chased off by Firenze before he could do you any harm. This shadow would then disappear, because it would prove that this already happened and thus its existence would be considered a paradox."<br><br>The dark figure was reaching out to Harry and the Doctor. Harry began to wince and clutch the lightning scar on his forehead. Pain was exploding inside his brain, as if someone had lodged a burning knife into his forehead. He hissed and clutched at his wand as it shook in his hand.<br><br>"But, if this is a simulation, then this inconsistency is a bug brought on by a virus," the Doctor continued. "And do you know what you do when you're computer has a virus, Harry?" The Doctor asked before slapping one hand on the ground and one hand on his head. "You install anti-virus software."<br><br>The world suddenly flickered around the five of them and the shadow let out a screech that sounded less like the cry of an evil immortal being and more like the ring of an internet dial up. The shadow flashed in and out of existence, along with the trees that surrounded it, until eventually it evaporated into nothing and the world returned to its original state.<br><br>"The winner is Robin!" The Doctor cheered and stood up before clapping her on the back. "Nice going partner. Now, why don't we take a look outside and see what you've won!"

				Robin couldn't help but feel very, very afraid when the shadow began moving toward them. Her entire being was telling her that she was looking directly at one of the most terrifying figures of her childhood... Lord Voldemort himself, the man who figured in the nightmares of children all over the world. But she trusted in her decision and tried to steel herself, hoping against hope that she was right.<br><br>As the Doctor pressed his hand to the ground, Robin sucked in a breath and held it, ready for the worst. But nothing happened; the shadow simply melted away, leaving the five of them standing safely in the room. As she let out the breath, she breathed something that sounded like, "OhmyGodIcan'tbelieveIwasright."<br><br>The Doctor clapped her on the back then, but she was still shocked. After a moment, she broke into a wide smile, running to Harry and hugging him tightly before doing the same with the other two children. Then she did a strange little dance.<br><br>"Dang, I'm good!" She said, before stopping and looking around awkwardly. "Okay, I won't do that again." Pulling the children along with her, she went out into the corridor, looking proudly at the Doctor. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. When she turned around, she at first saw nothing, until there was a prim little throat-clearing noise from below her line of sight. Looking down, she found herself face-to-face with none other than Delores Umbridge.<br><br>"May I ask," she said with a horrible smile, "What you all are doing?" Robin glanced over at the Doctor and decided to take a leaf from his book. Grinning down at the toad-like woman, she pulled her arm back and delivered her second punch of the day. Wincing, she shook her hand and looked down at the unconscious form of Umbridge. Thinking for a second, she kneeled down and grabbed the woman's wand, before standing again and smiling broadly at the Doctor.<br><br>"Another inconsistency," she said proudly, flipping the wand into the air and catching it again. "Taken care of by Robin Baker."

				"Nice work partner," the Doctor chuckled as he watched Robin celebrate her victory. "Seems like I'm rubbing off on you. You're picking up on the little stuff nicely." He said before gesturing for the kids to follow them as he made his way out to the corridor. "Come on, lets go check out the results of our brush with death."<br><br>The group reeled back the moment they stepped out and came face to face with one of most horrible people to ever be written into the Harry Potter Universe. The kids had no clue of who the women was, so when Robin punched her they gawked at her with surprise.<br><br>"Um...Robin," the Doctor began as he stepped forward and placed his arm around her shoulder. "That wasn't an inconsistency, look around, do you notice anything different? Same question to you kids."<br><br>The team looked around at their surroundings. The place seemed to resemble Hogwarts School for Witch Craft and Wizardry, yet for some reason the place seemed to radiate with an aura of gloom. Save for the students that stared at the unconscious form of Dolores Umbridge with a mixture of shock and overwhelming satisfaction.<br><br>"This place..." Hermione spoke softly. "It looks the same but...&nbsp; it feels different. Who is that Doctor? And why are those students celebrating? What did you do in that room back there?"<br><br>"Simple, my dear Hermione," the Doctor spoke before rolling his eyes as Robin plucked the wand from Umbridge. "I cheated. By correcting the inconsistency I've made it a fact that Firenze is now your Divination Teacher and that has catapulted us through time by several years." He looked down at them with curiosity after finishing his sentence and crouched down beside them before raising his hand above their head, as if checking if they had grown in the last few minutes. "Hmmm... but you haven't aged at all..."<br><br>"I guess that means that only the scenery is part of the computer simulation. You three are still very much human," the Doctor said before grinning at them. "Congratulations!"<br><br>"You're absolutely barmy Doctor," Ron spoke with a shake of his head. "Com-pu-tors? Cimu-la-tions? I've never heard my Dad talk about any of this kind of magic."<br><br>"I know, you're Dad should really talk to someone about that. A computer would probably save you all a lot of trouble," the Doctor said before turning to Robin and pointing down the corridor. "We need to get to the room of requirements stat. That's going to be difficult since we have no Marauders Map, but we have to try."<br><br>The Doctor leaned in and lowered his voice to a whisper whilst his eyes flicked to the wall opposite them. "I can still hear the Basilisk Robin. We've made the Game Master very mad by taking this short cut. He's probably assembling all the monsters and creatures from the previous books. I think we both know what that means..."

				"Um... Oops," was all Robin could say as she realized that Umbridge was no inconsistency. They had been placed into the fifth book, which meant that Robin had punched the (somewhat) real professor in the face. That explained why all the students in the hallway were having to fight back cheers and laughter as they watched Robin stand over Umbridge's prostrate form.<br><br>She gave the Doctor a sheepish smile and shrugged, not knowing what else to do. While he spoke to the kids, she fiddled with the wand, feeling a strange surge of power in her body. Suddenly, though, that hissing voice from earlier filled her head. <em>"Let me tear you... Let me kill you..."</em> Wincing, Robin turned to the Doctor as he whispered in her ear.<br><br>"I can too," she replied quietly, placing her hand in his. "Yeah... This is going to be really bad, isn't it?"

				"Oh yes," the Doctor said with a solemn nod of his head. "The Game Master controls the pieces but he made the environment operate under the rule that it will change with the players. The controller wanted us to spend years here, solving the challenges that came with the storyline. He didn't want us to skip anything. It was to be a frightening, torturous but wonderfully entertaining process."<br><br>"So, in a few minutes we're more than likely going to be asked to do all the things we missed in rapid succession. We'll be forced to find the Philosopher's Stone, we'll have to explore the Chamber of Secrets, get chased by a werewolf, help Harry win the Tri Wizard Tournament and..." the Doctor froze as a sudden realisation hit him. He shook his head slowly before turning to look over his shoulder.<br><br>"Harry, what's wrong?" Ron asked with alarm. The two kids stared at Harry in horror as the kid screamed and scratched at the scar on his head. His eyes were screwed shut in pain and beads of sweat were rolling down his face.<br><br>"And then we'll have to fight Voldermort. That is unless the Game Master decides to throw him at us now, seeing as how he's already risen," the Doctor spoke before motioning for them to follow him. "Come on, we need to get moving quickly. We have to create an inconsistency and I know exactly how we're going to do it, but first we need to figure out how to find the hidden room."<br><br>"I'm open to idea's guys," the Doctor added as he started to sprint down the corridor, pushing past students and teachers as he broke into a run.<br><br>"But Doctor, we don't know what it is that you're talking about," Harry said through gritted teeth. "If what you're saying is true and we're in the future, then this is all new to us." Harry winced again before clutching his head. "Doctor, why does my head hurt so much?"

				Robin noticed Ron wince at the mention of Voldemort's name, and she rolled her eyes. They really were scared even of his moniker... She supposed it was a lot more ominous-sounding than Tom Riddle, but still. When Harry starting scratching at his scar, Robin knelt next to him and place a comforting hand on his shoulder.<br><br>"Your scar always hurts when Voldemort is... near&nbsp; you..." A look of horror flashed across her face and she glanced up at the Doctor. When he started to run, Robin ushered the kids along with them, glad they seemed to catch the hint so fast. <br><br>"Doctor, I think you forget that I'm a Harry Potter expert," she yelled to him, ignoring the confused looks she got from Harry and Hermione. "The Room of Requirement is on the seventh floor, across from a tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy teaching trolls the ballet!We have to walk past it three times and think of what we want..." A gleam appeared in her eyes as she realized what the Doctor must have wanted to make appear in the room.<br><br>"Stairs, here!" She bolted up the stairs, hoping they wouldn't change too quickly on them and lead them astray.

				"Oh Robin you absolute beauty!" The Doctor yelled with delight as they bolted up the stairs as fast as they possibly could. Despite the urgency of their situation, the Doctor took a moment to admire the ever changing stairs and portrait lined walls with fascination and childish wonder. <br><br>The portraits were yelling at them to slow down, but as they got closer to their intended destination the shouting began to become horrible curses and violent swear words. Some of the portraits began to fall off the walls as bricks were forced out of the wall, knocking them off their hooks. Something seemed to be moving behind the wall, getting nearer and nearer to them as they ran further up the stairs.<br><br>"Come on! Quick guys! Game master is getting very antsy about our cheating!" The Doctor declared, now taking the steps two at a time.<br><br>"Doctor, Harry says his scar is burning him!" Hermione exclaimed with terror, her eyes fixed on the walls as another painting flew off and dropped down several flights of stairs.<br><br>"Of course it is! We're getting closer to the big bad boss. He'll be sending everything he's got at us!" The Doctor replied, "Just keep running kids! And Ron, their are spiders coming down the steps, don't freak out!" The Doctor called back, ignoring the yelp that came from the small ginger boy.<br><br>They finally reach the seventh floor and tore down the corridors, until eventually they came across the great tapestry that depicted the funny scene of a Barnabas the Barmy teaching several ugly creatures how to do a pirouette. The Doctor ran back and fourth between the tapestry, his eyes fixed on the wall opposite the strange embroidered pattern.<br><br>"Doctor, what are you doing?" Harry asked as he watched him. Doing his best to focus on the Doctor's mad antics despite the throbbing in his scar.<br><br>"I'm creating the best inconsistency that could possibly be," the Doctor said, panting as he sprinted up and down the corridor. "The room I'm opening creates a place that meets the needs of whoever desires its use. Well, I've got a tall order that it's going to have to comply to!" He said, before noticing Harry look over his shoulder, as if he had heard someone call his name.<br><br>"What did you just hear Harry?" the Doctor called before his eyes widened as he looked past the group. "Never mind, I'm pretty sure I can guess!"<br><br>The floor shook as bricks began to slip from the walls. Whatever had been chasing them was now bursting through the floor tiles and making its way towards them from the end of the corridor. Ron and Hermione screamed huddling close to Robin, whilst Harry stared at it with horror.<br><br>There was no doubt at all about what all three of them were hearing at that moment...<br><br><em>"Come, let me rip you... Let me tear you... Let me kill you..."</em>

				Robin didn't have long to revel in the fact that she had known something the Doctor hadn't before she was screaming and running. Bricks were flying from the walls, portraits were screaming curses at them, and there was something slithering behind the walls. As the spiders started clicking their way down the stairs, Robin had to basically drag Ron up, trying to kick the ugly things away from them.<br><br>It seemed an eternity, but they finally reached the seventh floor and the tapestry. By then, they were all panting and looking around, trying to figure out if anything else was pursuing them. Robin watched the Doctor run back and forth, and she sent up a silent prayer that they'd be able to get into the Room of Requirement sooner rather than later. <br><br>Then, however, the man stopped and was looking past Harry. With a large amount of dread, Robin looked that way as well, pulling the kids behind her and trying not to scream. There it was.. The Basilisk. It looked hungry and angry and huge, ready to sink its fangs into any of them at any given moment. <br><br>"Don't look in its eyes!" Robin said, hoping they'd listen. "Doctor, hurry up, please!"

				The Basilisk had exploded out of the floor, rearing its giant head as it looked down at them with giant yellow eyes. The Doctor had no idea if looking at the beast would kill them, chances were that it was simply an alien or mutated snake that had been brainwashed to believe it was the Basilisk, but the Doctor wasn't taking any chances.<br><br>A sinister hiss came from the serpent whilst the Doctor jogged down the corridor for the second time. Harry, Ron and Hermione were stuck to Robin, eyes shut tight and their wands outstretched despite the knowledge that this creature was beyond anything that they could throw at it. The Doctor had to admire their bravery, even if the entire school was fake, Gryffindors stared danger in the face. In a manner of speaking.<br><br>"Doctor, now would be a good time to think of something!" Harry yelled whilst the reptile began to slither towards them, picking up speed and breaking through tiles.<br><br>"I'm working on it Harry! Just one more lap!" The Doctor yelled to him as he ran. The beast was almost in striking distance, it's teeth were bared and its whole body crashed against the walls like a thunderous whip. "Just one more!" He called as he sprinted past the tapestry for a third time.<br><br>"Come on!" He yelled as he watched a door began to form out of the bricks slowly. "Come on, come on!" he yelled before kicking at the door, regardless of whether it was done, figuring that the sooner they were out of reach the better.<br><br><em>"Let me rip you! Let me tear you! Let me kill you!"</em> The Basilisk spoke, its voice hungry for blood as its head shot forward with its mouth opened wide.<br><br>"Oh J K, why did you have to think of something so amazingly scary!" The Doctor barked before his foot kicked out one last time and the door gave way. He grabbed the kids collars and yelled for Robin to jump before hurling himself into the room. <br><br>The team landed with a heavy thud, the doors swinging shut behind them and locking instantly as it completely its function.<br><br>The Doctor sprung to his feet and looked around the room frantically. It was old, musty and full of thousands of seemingly ancient and useless items, but the Doctor knew that if there were anywhere that had what he was looking for, it would be here.<br><br>"Oh...you...beautiful...thing..." the Doctor spoke with awe as his eyes finally landed on it.<br><br>The Doctor howled with laughter as he gazed at the wonderful blue police box that sat in the middle of the trove of magical treasures. Standing proud and blue amongst the parchments, books and statues of weirdos in robes.<br><br>"What is <em>that</em>?" Ron exclaimed, getting to his feet with a groan and rubbing the lump that had formed on the back of his head.<br><br>"Is that a police box?" Hermione asked inquisitively as she too got to her feet, helping Harry up from the ground whilst he dabbed at his scar with the tips of his fingers.<br><br>"Oh no my dear Hermione Granger," the Doctor laughed as he made his way towards the box. "That's an inconsistency!"

				Robin stared at the belly of the beast as it slithered toward them, its menacing hiss filling her ears. Though she wanted so badly to look and see if the Doctor was making any headway, she didn't want to take her eyes off the Basilisk even for a second. In the corners of her vision, she could see the children with their wands raised, and briefly thought that they were all three true Gryffindors...<br><br>And then they were torn away from her by the Doctor. Robin hastily dove into the Room of Requirement after them, landing on her stomach with a loud grunt. When she flipped over, her eyes went straight to the TARDIS, and a sunny smile broke out across her face. She hopped up quickly and ran to hug the blue box, stroking it with one hand.<br><br>"Doctor, I have never been so happy to see something in my life," she said, relief evident in her voice. When she opened her eyes, she saw the confused, slightly embarrassed looks on the children's faces. "What? You don't know how amazing it is that this thing is here."

				"But...it's a police box," Harry stammered, staring at the box oddly as they walked towards it.<br><br>"Inconcistency Harry! Inconcistency!" The Doctor said whilst warmly hugging one side of the TARDIS. "Oh look at her, look at my girl she is...she's..." the Doctor paused before looking up at the box with concern. He trailed around to the front of the TARDIS and stroked his hands against the doors before pushing against them with a grunt.<br><br>"She's locked!" The Doctor exclaimed, pushing the doors again and again in an attempt to open the door. "Really, really, locked!" He said before pulling out a key from his pocket and forcing it into the lock. He tried to turn the key, but no matter how much he twisted it from side to side it would not unlocked. "That's not possible..." he whispered as he looked up at the TARDIS.<br><br>"So, what do we do now?" Harry asked as he walked to the Doctor's side. "Is there any other way to get inside it?"<br><br>"What would be the point of getting inside of it?" Ron asked as he joined them. "It's a pole-ice box. What good is it going to do us?"<br><br>"It would have been our ticket out of here..." the Doctor muttered misserably, "But, it looks like the game master is intent on keeping us around. We've really angered him by breaking so many rules. He'll be coming personally to meet us, bringing with him an army of viscious creatures and dark wizards."<br><br>The kids looked at each other with concern before Hermione asked, "Then what do we do?" <br><br>"Wait. We've got no chance of escape. We may as well meet the problem head on," the Doctor spoke as he turned to them. "Besides, just because he's dressed as the most powerful Dark Wizard in your universe and has a range of godly powers doesn't mean he can't be beaten."<br><br>Silence fell over the kids. They glanced at each other again with unease. Harry had started clutching at his scar again. "Doctor, how do you know he's dressed as You-Know-Who?" he asked.<br><br>"Because he's standing right over there," the Doctor said before pointing behind them.<br><br>Standing a few metres away from them was a grotesque humanoid figure. His skin was bone white, his eyes were crimson and his nose was flat, but his nostrils were but slits, giving him the appearance of a snake. His thin body was dressed in an elegant hooded black robe that seemed to bring out the chalk color of his skin. In one hand he carefully clutched at the fabled thirteen and a half inch wand with a phoenix feather core, treating it with the same care an assasin might show to his dagger.<br><br>Standing next to him, was his arm. Black cloaked figures with cruel expressions, delighting at the situation even if they could not understand it properly. And behind them, writhing in the darkness, came the roars and cries of the many monsters that terrorised Harry through all of his adventures.<br><br>"Harry Potter..." Lord Voldermort said with relish as he stared at him with his cold eyes, before turning to the Doctor and smiling at him with delight. "Doctor... How delightful for you to join us this evening."<br><br>"I find it very hard to believe that the Dark Wizard of a magical world would know my name," the Doctor replied sternly before gesturing to Voldermort. "Drop it, don't play these silly games any more. Show us who you really are."<br><br>"But the games are so much fun Doctor," Voldermort laughed, a high pitchedsqueal of pure insanity. "Well, they would be if you had played by the rules!" Voldermort roared, stamping his foot like an angry child.<br><br>"Hypocrite," the Doctor spat. "You didn't even bother explaining the rules and even if you had do you really think I would believe that you would honor any of them? That isn't who you are."

				When the Doctor said that the TARDIS was locked, Robin's joy faded a little. As amazing a it was to see the beautiful blue spaceship in this place, it wouldn't do them any good if they couldn't get inside it. With a final pat and a sigh, Robin stepped away from the machine. She walked over to stand beside Hermione, who had kept quiet and was simply staring at the police box as though she was thinking very hard.<br><br>"What is it?" she asked finally. "Why is it here?"<br><br>"It's a sort of spaceship," Robin replied, looking at the young girl and trying to gage her reaction. "It's the Doctor's. It can sort of... travel in time also. He's taken me to some really amazing places. Other planets, other times..." Hermione looked up at Robin as if trying to decide whether or not she was joking. When she was at least partly sure the strange woman was telling the truth, she looked back at the TARDIS.<br><br>"What did you mean earlier, when you said you were a... Harry Potter expert?" the young witch asked shrewdly.<br><br>"That's... um, complicated, you see-" Robin was interrupted as the Doctor said that their enemy was standing across the room. Slowly, the two girls turned, and gasped in unison as their eyes locked on the horrible visage of Lord Voldemort. His eyes were full of seething hatred, and his voice was cold and cruel. Gently, Robin reached out and took Hermione's hand.<br><br>"Doctor," Robin breathed. "It's Voldemort. I mean I know it really isn't but it really really looks like him."

				"Of course, he's the big boss Robin, it's no wonder he would want to look like the most powerful enemy," the Doctor said before taking a few steps towards Voldermort. "If he really was Voldermort then everyone but Harry would be dead and he would be gloating like the evil death flinging mad man that Voldermort is, but that's not who this man is. This man would hate it if his players were killed so offhandedly."<br><br>The wizards at Voldermort's side hissed at the Doctor like serpents as he drew nearer. The closer he got to the wizard, the more it seemed as if they were less like humans and more like beasts. The Doctor smiled at them before drawing to a stop less than two metres away from the snake skinned dark lord of all.<br><br>"I can only imagine your frustration," the Doctor said with amusement as he watched Voldermort's face contort with anger. "This must have taken a while to set up, even for you. You're used to just clicking your fingers and letting the whole of reality bend to your will. But this time you didn't, this time you used technology to build your world of fun."<br><br>"I take it that this new world is made from what remains of your Celestial Toy Room, blended with advanced technology?" The Doctor asked as he began to stroll in a circle and walk about the room, admiring the scenery like a visitor at an art galley.<br><br>"My process of reformation was taking too long. I needed to rebuild my domain quickly so that I could play my games again," Voldermort spoke with delight, his voice beginning to loose its smooth tone and instead sound low and aged, but yet the malice and cruelty remained.<br><br>"Interesting, technology meets divine powers creating this abomination," the Doctor said as he picked up one of the artifacts and examined it. "This is quite some devotion though. Never imagined that you would be a JK Rowling's biggest fan." The Doctor said before turning his head and glaring at Voldermort. <br><br>"The humans and the creatures that roam this world, what are they?" The Doctor asked, anger dripping off every word, it was clear that the doctor was doing his best to remain calm. "I scanned the kids, but I realised earlier that this sonic screwdriver of mine..." he pulled out the device before throwing it to the ground. "...is a fake. So, what are they? What are you preventing me from seeing?"<br><br>Voldermort smirked and raised his wand before twirling it through the air. The children straightened unnaturally, their eye wide and unblinking as they walked forwards and stepped between Voldermort and the Doctor.<br><br>"They are my toys Doctor," Voldermort spoke in a voice that was not his own. "Everything in this world is my toy. Even you."

				Robin didn't notice that she was clutching the stolen wand in a death grip until she looked down and noticed that her knuckles were white. Spells jumped into her mind, and she had to resist the urge to try and take on the snakelike wizard... Even if it just distracted him for a moment to allow the Doctor to do something amazing. However, as the evil-looking man spoke, she was glad she had refrained. <br><br>Toy Room? What was that supposed to mean? She looked around. Everything looked real... There was the Vanishing Cabinet, over to the left was what would eventually be discovered as the lost diadem of Ravenclaw. But according to the Doctor, everything was made by this evil man's Celestial Toy Room. Robin found herself trembling and holding Hermione's hand a little tighter. <br><br>So it came as a shock to her when the children stiffened and walked forward. A small squeak escaped Robin but she clapped a hand to her mouth. And then, the man made the strangest claim yet... That even the Doctor was his toy.<br><br>"Doctor?" she said in a strangled voice. "What does he mean?"

				"He means that we're his toys to play with, just like all the other beings in this world," the Doctor replied, his golden eyes narrowed on Voldermort. "This thing in front of us prides himself on playing with peoples lives like a game of chess. To him, its the most fun anyone could possibly have."<br><br>The Doctor walked back to Robin's side before pointing at the dark wizard with his thumb.<br><br>"In the old legends of the Time Lords they speak of this being. How he ensnares life forms into his Toy Room and challenges them to sick little games, with their freedom as the prize," the Doctor said with disgust. "It's his duty as one of the six guardians, godly entities, each a manifestation of some of the universes qualities, such as light and order, dark and chaos, or in this case, dream and fantasy."<br><br>The shadows of Voldermort's body began to bubble and froth as the Doctor spoke. His bone white skin became pink and warm and his head began to sprout grey strands of hair. The dark robes began to change from black to a rich red and gold which shined like treasure in the dim light.<br><br>"Sometimes he goes by his official title, the Crystal Guardian," the Doctor spoke as he watched the transformation. "Other times he goes by the name of, the Mandarin, but the first time I met him he went by only one name...." the Doctor spoke softly, his voice trailing off as the transformation completed.<br><br>Standing in Voldermort's place, was a tall man dressed like a Chinese emperor. His eyes and hair were dark and his clothes were lavish and grand. He wore a bright shining smile that seemed to twinkle with mischief and excitement, but not in the way that the Doctor smiled. This being's seemed to resemble the grin of a mad sadist, not an eccentric guardian of good. He bowed slightly at the two, his image flickering like bad reception on a television.<br><br>"The Celestial Toymaker" the Doctor spoke with a grimace. "One of the oldest, most insane beings in the universe."<br><br>"You are one to talk about sanity Doctor," the Toymaker chuckled, his hands folded neatly into the sleeves of his robes. "A man who abducts primates and sends them on grand tours of space and time to prevent himself from feeling lonely is a man who is dangerously close to losing his grip on reality."<br><br>"Which is why I am better than you, Doctor," the Toymaker spoke before his Voldermort disguise washed over him again. "I do not believe in reality."

				The Doctor's words made fear bubble in Robin's chest. How could this person be a <em>guardian</em> of the <em>Universe?</em> From all she had seen with the Doctor, it seemed like these sort of godlike beings couldn't exist... Or else how would they let the horrible people she'd met wander around without consequence? But in looking at this Celestial Toymaker, Robin could see why. He wasn't any better himself.<br><br>As the man's disguise faded out of existence, Robin's breath caught in her throat. Though he looked eccentric, like a slightly crazy grandpa, there was a look in his eye that was disconcerting. It was a little glint of malice, hard to see past the smile, but there nonetheless. It was the kind of crazy that you saw when watching a documentary on psychopaths or cold-blooded killers.<br><br>And apparently he was even older than the Doctor, which was hard for Robin to comprehend. She guessed anyone would lose their mind if they were one of the oldest people in the Universe. It was almost a relief when the image of Voldemort washed back over him, since it covered up the true image of his insanity. Robin was shaking, even though she was trying her hardest to keep it under control. Nervously, she looked over at the Doctor.<br><br>"Okay, Doctor," she said softly, eyeing the Toymaker warily. "Now would be a good time to... I don't know.. Have a plan or something."

				"Don't worry, I've got a plan. It's going to work too," the Doctor said to Robin before pulling off his anorak and tipping it upside down. A cascade of weird and wonderful tools dropped from the pockets of his coat, quickly forming large piles of alien technology. "It would work a lot better if I had my actual tools instead of these fakers you supplied me with, but I can manage."<br><br>"Doctor, whatever plan your cooking up, it won't work," the Toymaker said with amusement. "If your plan is to escape then you should know as well as I do that the Toy Room will not let the TARDIS leave until you have played my game and won."<br><br>"Oh I know, believe me I haven't forgotten," the Doctor said and turned to Robin before pointing at the Toymaker again. "The last time I met the Toymaker I shattered him into thousands of pieces. Even for a near god like entity, being broken apart takes time to heal from. So the Toymaker has bonded this place with cybernetics to help stabilise him and it, but despite all of his rule bending and technology the Toymaker must obey his own rules in the end. A win means freedom."<br><br>"And you'll remember Doctor that the aim of this game is to save the children," the Toymaker said with relish and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. "How exactly do you plan on doing that when they are under my control?"<br><br>"Simple, I'm going to use the tools that you gave me to get out of here," the Doctor said cheerfully causing the Toymaker to laugh. "I'm serious, from the fake sonic screwdriver to the fake psychic spanner to the fake quantum drill to the fake wands that you really should have been keeping an eye on. Robin cast Alohomora on the TARDIS." <br><br>The Toymaker's red eyes widened before he raised his wand and pointed it at the Doctor and Robin. Before he could so much as yell in outrage, the Doctor leaped forwards, grabbed his fake sonic screwdriver, and hurled it into the path of a jet of green light that shot from the end of the Toymaker's wand.<br><br>The beam hit the screwdriver, causing it to explode in a shower of sparks and release a horrible screech that made the Toymaker clutch at his head whilst his entire image continuously swapped between the mandarin costume and Voldermort disguise.<br><br>Harry, Ron and Hermione seemed to regain their senses as the screech brought them into the world of the living again. They covered their ears and winced, whilst Harry yelled, "Doctor? What's going on!?"<br><br>"Don't worry, Robin is taking care of it!" the Doctor yelled back before frantically motioning to Robin to get the door open.

				Robin could hardly follow the conversation at all. Her mind was still trying to wrap around the idea that here she was, talking to two people who were older than she could even imagine, trying to work out a plan to get out of this place alive. Also, one of them was doing his best to kill a bunch of innocent children as a game... One set in the magical universe of JK Rowling's book series. <br><br>And Robin was starting to get the idea that this was a normal day when traveling with the Doctor.<br><br>Suddenly, the Toymaker shot a green jet of light at her, which somehow part of her brain realized was the Killing Curse, but thankfully the Doctor threw his sonic screwdriver into its path. To her joy, she saw that the kids were coming back to the present, but then she felt confusion as the Doctor said that <em>she</em> was supposed to be taking care of it.<br><br>Frantically, she thought back, trying to remember if she had missed something. <em>Robin, cast Alohomora on the TARDIS.</em> Gasping, she whirled around and pointed the stolen wand at the blue box.<br><br>"Alohomora!" she shouted, and the door popped open with a click. Robin's mouth dropped open in shock. Turning back to the Doctor, she whispered. "That worked. It worked!"

				"Of course it did, the Toymaker made genuine wands. He should have thought that a spell that can unlock anything could unlock the TARDIS," the Doctor said whilst throwing various fake tools at the Toymaker, who blasted them out the air with various beams of violent light. <br><br>"Now come on boys and girls! It's time for us to win this game!" The Doctor called to them before motioning for Robin and the kids to get inside the TARDIS. "Come on! Lets go!"<br><br>"In there?" Hermione cried as she stared at the big blue box. "What good is a police box against... whatever he is?! He will blow us to smithereens!"<br><br>"Robin, did you just hear that? Hermione Granger questioned my plan!" The Doctor called before grinning at her. "I'm about to prove Hermione Granger wrong! Today has been awesome!"<br><br>The Toymaker let out a roar as he struck the quantum drill out of the air, causing a massive cubed explosion of blue light. He pointed at the fleeing heroes and with flared nostrils screamed," GET THEM! KILL THEM ALL! THEY ARE CHEATING!"<br><br>The army of monster behind the insane entity sprung to life and charged at the Doctor and his comrades. All of them snarling and roaring like wild animals as they flung spells and slashed at the air with their claws and fangs. The team wasted no time in fleeing into the TARDIS, closing the door behind them with a heavy slam.<br><br>"Bloody hell!" Ron cried in wonder, his mouth hung open as he looked around the vast bronze control room of the TARDIS. Harry and Hermione seemed equally shocked as they stared at the steaming pipes, the wondrous glow of time crystals, the beeping controls and the musical hum of the machine.<br><br>"I know right?" The Doctor said with a chuckle as he ran over to the controls and began to rapidly push at buttons, spin wheels and yank down levers. "Go on... say it. I know you want to," he said to them, leaning back from the controls and grinning at them widely.<br><br>"Its..." Ron mumbled as he looked round.<br><br>"Go on..." the Doctor sniggered.<br><br>"Its..." Hermione whispered, her voice trembling.<br><br>"That's right. Out with it," the Doctor spoke, flicking at a random switch with a smug look on his face.<br><br>"It's bleeding warm in here!" Ron whined before loosening the yellow and gold tie around his neck and opening up his robes. "Someone turn the heating down, its like we're in an oven here."<br><br>The Doctor's eyes bulged out of his sockets as he gaped at Ron in total bewilderment. His mouth twisted like he had bitten into a lemon and his eyes shut tight while his arms flailed in incomprehension. Eventually the Doctor began to bash his head against the controls of the TARDIS in frustration.<br><br>"Why does no one care that this place is bigger on the inside?!" The Doctor yelled between strikes, his fist thumping against the controls.<br><br>"Why should we?" Ron asked in befuddlement. "My Dad owns a tent that's bigger than this place."<br><br>"And we do learn about magic Doctor," Hermione chirped. "We tend to learn about impossible things like this all the time," she said before jogging around the controls of the TARDIS and looking up at the walls excitedly. "How does it work? Is it an enchantment or have we simply disaperated to a new location?"<br><br>The Doctor didn't reply. He was too busy trying to give himself a migraine by banging his head even harder against the TARDIS.<br><br>"This is amazing," Harry spoke with wonder as he walked further across the floor of the TARDIS. "Its like a whole world has been shoved into one place."<br><br>"Thank you Harry!" The Doctor roared before turning to Robin and pointing at the young boy. "See Robin? Harry Potter knows the etiquette of being gobsmacked by my amazing and sexy TARDIS!" He complained before pausing. <br><br>"Wow, I really just said that. Today has been a really odd day," The Doctor spoke before glancing up at one of the screens and resuming his alterations of the TARDIS. "By the way, your family is in the cargo bay of the ship," the Doctor said, tapping one of the screens that showed three red dots in a rectangle. <br><br>"If you want to reach them quickly take the fireman pole," he said before pointing at a long silver pole that lay in the corner of the TARDIS, seemingly stretching infinitely into absolute darkness. "Just hold on tight and scream cargo bay really loud whilst you slide down it. And then take the lift to get back up here," he explained before pulling out one of the screens from the TARDIS's control pad and pointing it at Harry.<br><br>"Oh, and tell your family not to touch anything," he added before flicking a switch on the side of the screen that turned it green and showed a blue x-ray of Harry's skeleton.

				Robin really couldn't believe what was happening, but she reacted all the same. She was very glad her parents had been indulgent in her obsessions all those years ago, buying her "spell" books and the guide to magical duels. As the Doctor and the rest of the team fled to the TARDIS, she followed, flinging spells at the oncoming army of Death Eaters and other creatures. And despite how frightened she was, she found herself smiling as she finally reached the doors, turning and running before the Doctor closed the door behind her.<br><br>"That was so much fun," she breathed, panting and looking elatedly at the wand in her hand. Then, she looked up as Ron, Harry, and Hermione exclaimed over the TARDIS... Only for Hermione and Ron to crush the Doctor's hopes. As he started banging his head against the controls, Robin roared with laughter, bending over and putting her hands on her knees. Then, she walked to the two of them and pulled them into a hug.<br><br>"You two have just made my day," Robin said with a broad smile. "It's really funny to see that smug face just wiped clean. Thank you." But she rolled her eyes when Harry finally gave in... Even though she had to forgive him. He had lived almost his entire life inside a tiny space under his family's stairs, and would have likely loved something like the TARDIS to be squished in there.<br><br>Everything seemed unimportant, though, when the Doctor told her that her family was in the TARDIS. Without hesitation, she flung a "thank you!" at him before running to the pole and sliding down it, shouting as instructed. Suddenly, she came to a stop though she was not at the bottom of the pole. A hallway extended to her left, and she jumped into it, running straight to the door that said CARGO BAY.<br><br>Flinging the door open, she cried out in delight as she saw her family huddled together, unharmed but frightened. When they looked at her they did the same, soon running over to her and embracing her tightly. All of them spoke at once, but Robin shushed them quickly.<br><br>"I don't have time to explain now, we have to get back to the Doctor, he can explain everything when we find him. Let's go, okay?" They all nodded, and Robin led them out of the room to look for the elevator. Soon, they found it and clambered in, pressing the button for the control room. A few seconds was all it took before they were spilling out back into the main room.<br><br>"Okay Doctor," Robin said. "What now?"

				The Doctor was quiet when Robin and her family reached the deck of the TARDIS. He was sat in a deck chair with his feet up on the TARDIS's control pad, staring dismally at the screen that he held in both hands. Laying next to him were the unconscious forms of the three children, sound asleep and breathing peacefully. The Doctor looked as if he wanted to do the same.<br><br>"He bred them," the Doctor spoke, his voice hard as he looked down at the kids. "The Toymaker is able to create living things from thin air, but he didn't with this lot. He bred them. He altered their DNA so that they would look and behave like Harry, Ron and Hermione. That's why he didn't want me to scan them with my screwdriver, because he didn't want me to learn the truth until after I had rescued the kids."<br><br>He was quiet for a moment before he took his feet off the control pad and swung one of the screens to face Robin. On it was the layout of what appeared to be earth. On it's surface glowed millions of red dots, each representing a life form. "He made millions of life forms inhabit his Toy Room, which is currently encasing an entire planet. It was probably populated with a near human race and he more than likely wiped them out to make way for his sick little fantasy."<br><br>"Every single creature, every wizard, good or evil, believes that they are a part of a Harry Potter world, but they're not. They've been bred to believe that or they're aliens who have been brainwashed to believe that they're giants or goblins," the Doctor said before burying his head in his hands. "I was hoping that the only real people were Harry, Ron and Hermione. I had hoped the rest was just part of the simulation, but that isn't the case."<br><br>"And now that we've escaped and won his game, do you know what the Toymaker will do now that he knows he's lost?" The Doctor asked before getting to his feet and slamming his fists against the controls. "He'll blow up the planet and kill the six billion innocent lives that he's manipulated into becoming wizards, monster and murderers. Because that's how much of a sore loser he is."

				Robin listened with shock as the Doctor explained the situation to her. The rest of her family had no idea what was happening, and it showed in their faces. Her brain whirling, Robin held one finger up to the Doctor, and turned to look frankly at Rita, Dennis, and Allen. She heaved a sigh and tried to think of what to say.<br><br>"I know I said the Doctor would explain, but I'm going to real fast." She spoke quickly. "We've been transported to a different planet, engineered by this insane, ancient, godlike... guy who sort of has control over a lot of power and can create entire worlds and beings. He's made this one like the Harry Potter universe, which is why Harry, Ron, and Hermione appear to be sleeping on the floor. Right now we're in the TARDIS, because the Celestial Toymaker made this game for us where we have to save those three and escape with our freedom, but the Doctor created an inconsistency and brought the TARDIS to the game. I unlocked it using magic and then we found you." She didn't stop to see if they understood before whirling to face the Doctor.<br><br>"And what do you mean you escaped?" Robin asked, narrowing her eyes at him. "You said you've stopped him before. If he's about to blow up an entire world, and you don't want that to happen, we have to go back and <em>fight!</em> You can't be trying to tell me that we're running away, leaving an entire world to just explode, if we could do something!" Suddenly, Allen spoke up from behind her.<br><br>"We'll help," he said quietly. The whole family's expressions were full of determination and fear.

				"I can't guarantee your safety," the Doctor spoke solemnly as he watched them. "The Toymake will demand that we play a new game. Probably something more classic like hop scotch, darts or possibly poker, but it will all be lethal and it will involve all of you risking your lives."<br><br>The Doctor watched them, but after a few seconds he shook his head and sighed before getting to his feet. "I know that look," he said with a low chuckle. "You're not going to budge no matter what I say...I really wish people would stop giving me that look. I can't win against that look."<br><br>The Doctor smiled before getting to his feet and pressing a big red button before slamming down on a pedal. "Maybe the Toymaker was right, maybe we are all completely nuts," He said before grabbing the steering wheel that stuck out of the control pad and spinning it. <br><br>"But, if we weren't completely nuts, this incredible plan of mine wouldn't work!" He laughed loudly before the TARDIS began to let out its musical soaring sounds. "Come on everyone, let go ruin the Toymaker's favorite book."<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The Toymaker was angry. Childishly angry. Pointlessly angry. And when the Toymaker was angry, people died. It didn't matter who they were or what they had done, when the Toymaker said it was there time to die, they died.<br><br>Only it was never that simple. The Toymaker had to make sure they suffer once the game was over. Even he couldn't just murder someone in cold blood. They or some other unlucky soul had to play the game first. Now, if they caught in the blast radius of the game once it was over, then that was just bad luck. And the residents of this planet had a lot of bad luck...<br><br>He required no air, but the Toymaker took a breath anyway as he walked around the grounds of Hogwarts. Trailing behind him were his faithful servants, all of them convinced that he was their dark leader. It would be the last time that they ever followed him so faithfully.<br><br>"Maybe I'll try Lord of the Rings next..." the Toymaker mused, scratching his chin with the tip of his wand. "Fantasy is always fun...but I have missed the basics. Good old dominos and playing card, board games and killer teddy bears," he mused before smiling with delight. "Sometimes the classics are the best"<br><br>"What was that Master?" Bellatrix Lestrange asked as she bowed down at his side. She was an amusing instrument, he had needed to put the primate through intense pain when she had been born in order to create a twisted enough personality to allow her to grow into the deranged character of Bellatrix. It would be a shame to waste such a mind, but she was expendable, just like the Basilisk, the dragons and the giants.<br><br>"Never you mind my dear," the Toymaker said before raising his wand to the sky. "I just thought that now would be a good time to....start again now that the game is over."<br><br>Bellatrix nodded in agreement, her thin vulture like expressions showing intense admiration and eagerness to comply with his desires, despite the fact that she had no idea what he was saying.<br><br>"What a dull game this was..." the Toymaker sighed before the wand began to glow "<em>Advarda Kedav.."</em><br><br>The sound of the TARDIS dematerialising echoed through the grounds. The Toymaker turned and stared at the castle before charging inside and bashing open the large double doors that led to the great hall.<br><br>The majestic hall was filled with students. All of the staring in awe at the blue box that had appeared behind the staff's table, which was currently empty of any members of staff. Instead, sitting in each chair, were Harry, Ron and Hermione, as well as the young blonde girl from earlier and her ginger haired family. And of course, sitting in the Dumbledore's chair, was the Doctor.<br><br>"They're all staring at us..." Harry said uncomfortably as he watched the students whisper and chatter in surprise.<br><br>"Don't let it worry you," the Doctor said with a grin as he watched the Toymaker stare at them in confusion. "It's me. I'm extremely famous."

				Robin smiled and ran to her family. Hugging them, she then gave them a solemn look.<br><br>"Okay. Rules. Stay out of danger as much as possible. Try to get hold of a wand and go over spells, Allen I'm assuming you know some. Listen to the Doctor. If he says run, you do it, no matter how much you don't want to. If one of us dies, you get to a safe place and hide and wait for the other. Do not stop for anything. Get. Out. Alive."<br><br>They were all looking at her as though she was not herself. But after a moment, they were all nodding assent, looking determined. When the Doctor finished speaking, they all looked at him and smiled, ready for whatever was ahead.<br><br>***<br><br>Robin rolled her eyes as the Doctor said he was famous. Fear spread through her, though, as the Toymaker walked forward wearing Voldemort's appearance as a disguise. Reaching out, she took her mother's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Her family had quickly acquired wands when they came in, and Allen had taught them the important spells to know.<br><br>Looking over at the Doctor, Robin suddenly felt calm. She trusted him with everything... And her fingers reached up to tug at her locket.

				"I will admit I am surprised that you have returned Doctor," the Toymaker said with amusement as he walked forward, flanked by his evil henchmen. "Usually you flee once our game is complete. You had your chance to leave, why did you not run as fast as you could?"<br><br>"Innocent lives were on the line Toymaker. I'm not going to abandon them," the Doctor replied as he stood up and hopped over the table, landing in front of it and perching on its edge. "You created a planet full of suffering creatures. You bred them to sate your own sick pleasures, did you really think I would just let you destroy them all?"<br><br>"So you have come here to save them?" the Toymaker asked, sounding surprised. He considered the proposal before nodding and smiling sickly at him, "Very well...but what will the game be? Chess? Marbles? Dominoes?"<br><br>"No, nothing simple and boring. We're in a world of magic so this will be solved with magic," the Doctor said sternly. "A duel of magic. If you win then we're yours to do as you see fit. If I win then you will take your Toy Room and leave the planet for good."<br><br>"Fascinating..." The Toymaker said with a malicious chuckle. "The Doctor wishes to engage me in a battle of magic. That's very unscientific of you."<br><br>"Oh, I'm not going to be the one who fights you. That would be suicide," the Doctor said with a shake of his head. "Besides, it's not my fight. It's his," he said before turning to Harry and nodding for him to come forwards. Slowly, the small boy got up and joined the Doctor by his side.<br><br>"Are you serious?" The Toymaker asked before laughing loudly, his dark minions joining in with his malice. "The boy is ten and so very unskilled! I am the Crystal Guardian and the great dark wizard! I know everything he knows and more! I am Lord Voldermort and the Mandarin!"<br><br>"So I guess that puts the odds in our favor," the Doctor said with a bright smile before gesturing for Harry to take a space in front of Voldermort. "On the count of three, you two will hit each other with everything you've got."<br><br>"Doctor..." Harry began but the Doctor raised his hand to silence him. <br><br>"Don't worry mate," he said with a pearly grin. "Your Harry Potter. You can do this. He's afraid of you."<br><br>"I am not afraid!" The Toymaker spat, stamping his foot again in that childish grumpy manner.<br><br>"Then you accept?" The Doctor asked, taking a few steps back. The Toymaker considered the request before nodding. "Good, then here we go..." the Doctor said, glancing towards Robin and her family and nodding at them to steel themselves. "One, two-"<br><br>"Avada Kedavra!" The Toymaker yelled and from out of his wand shot a brilliant blast of green. The Toymaker had hoped to catch the boy off guard, but before the spell could touch him Harry yelled, "Expelliarmus!"<br><br>Golden flames erupted as the two spells clashed. Whether it was the work of technology or magic no longer mattered, whatever powered the wands was creating an explosion so fierce that the wind howled and heat surged across the room.<br><br>"This is foolish Doctor!" The Toymaker yelled as he watched the blast of power surge between them. "You expect the hero to be able to defeat the villain in his early days? This plan is utter madness!"<br><br>"No," the Doctor replied, his voice stern and stare hard as he looked back and fourth between the two. "What's madness is a silly old Guardian building a world entirely around a children's book! What's madness is the same mad man breeding a race of life forms just for the sake of matching said book! What's madness is that world being used to play this sick game and what is complete and utter total madness is that stupid old guardian locking himself so deeply into the world that he failed to comprehend what would happen if he were ever killed in said world!"<br><br>Confusion crossed the Toymaker's face. Something was wrong. He didn't know what, but something was definitely wrong.<br><br>"And finally, what is madness is that this fool forgot three very important things!" the Doctor snarled before holding up three fingers and slowly counting down. "Number one, Voldermort is not invincible. In fact, if you got rid of his horcruxes, then he's just a maniac with a lot of power!"<br><br>The Toymaker's footing began to slip. He took a step back as a surge of fire pushed at him. <br><br>"Number two, I have a time machine and I can use it to visit anywhere in space and time. Even if the world is completely under your control!" The Toymaker was forced back a little more as the Doctor yelled at him. What could only be described as fear began to cross his serpent like features.<br><br>The Doctor clicked his fingers at his team. At that moment Ron, Hermione, Robin and her family pulled out several different objects. A necklace, a book, a diadem, a ring, a locket, a chalice and the writhing body of a snake, which took all of them to hold down. Ron passed a gleaming silver sword to Robin as the preparation for their plan began.<br><br>"So if I were to gather all those object together and we were to destroy them right now..." the Doctor said, grinning madly as he watched the Toymaker squirm. "...I think that something incredible would happen, don't you? Robin! Kill them all!"

				It was quite difficult keeping Nagini down behind their backs. She was hissing and wriggling, trying to make her way back to her master... But somehow, they managed, though Robin really wished the Doctor wouldn't draw things out so much. A wince passed over Robin's face as Harry and the fake Voldemort shouted spells at each other; it seemed a horrible thing to do to a child... But somehow, it was working.<br><br>Finally, the signal. They all pulled out their stolen prizes, placing them on the table before holding Nagini down tightly. Nodding, Robin accepted the Sword of Gryffindor from Ron, poised to stab the diary. When the Doctor gave the command, she plunged the sword into the diary, causing a phantom-like apparition to die screaming. Quickly, she moved to the ring, crushing it with the blade of the sword. In quick succession she stabbed the locket, then the goblet, then the diadem... And with a swift chop, she cut off Nagini's head, which went flying to the Doctor's feet.<br><br>Breathing hard, Robin looked up, eagerly waiting to see what would happen between Harry and his nemesis.

				The Toymaker was being pressured back bit by bit. No matter how much he struggled against the fierce blaze he couldn't hold himself to their power. Harry's face was wracked with concentration, his teeth gritted as he forced the mad man back. The man who had made him, the man who had toyed with his life as if it were a game, the man who was going to loose.<br><br>"Y-You're...you're cheating!" The Toymaker squealed, barely keeping a hold of the wand in his pale hands. His image was flickering rapidly between his true form and the costume he wore. Both faces had the same look of fear on them. The realisation that they were about to loose was clear.<br><br>"No. The game is between you and Harry. Just because we're destroying the Horcruxes doesn't mean we're directly interfering with the duel," the Doctor said with satisfaction as he watched the Toymaker step back. "Besides, if we had won you would have detonated the planet anyway. I know you too well. So instead, you're going to be forced back into the cybernetics of your Toy room and be cast out into the universe."<br><br>"This isn't happening! I am a Guardian!" The Toymaker yelled, no longer dressed as the dark wizard, but instead the old man in the costume of a Chinese emperor. His eyes were wild as he tried to tame the blaze, but as the explosion grew he lost his balance and came crashing to the ground. "W-What else did I forget, Doctor? What was that final point?!" The Toymaker screamed, the wand cracking to pieces in his hand.<br><br>"Simple," the Doctor said with a smile. "The hero always wins."<br><br>The golden fire enveloped the Toymaker, causing him to wail in despair as his body shattered like glass and vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind but a smoking black spot where he once stood. <br><br>The room was silent for a moment as realisation sank in. The deatheaters stared in horror at the place where their master had once stood. For a moment they seemed to finger their wands nervously, as if unsure whether to attack, but then the Doctor walked forwards, placed his hand on Harry's shoulder and smiled at the crowd of villains and monsters. He grinned at them brightly whilst Harry panted heavily, exhausted by the great magical battle that had just taken place.<br><br>"Hello, I'm the Doctor and this is Harry Potter, the boy who lived," the Doctor said cheerfully whilst the death eaters fidgeted nervously on the spot. "Basically...run"<br><br>The hall cleared in seconds, leaving only the Doctor, the heroes and the hordes of students that cheered in joy at the sight of the fleeing villains.

				Robin was still panting even as the Toymaker was reduced to a black spot. Adrenaline was coursing through her veins, but she dropped her arms, letting the sword click against the ground. A fierce smile appeared on her face, and she felt her mother embrace her tightly. Harry looked exhausted, there were still death eaters, and the blood of Nagini was splashing onto everyone's feet, but... It felt safe.<br><br>And it became even safer as the Death Eaters fled at the Doctor's command. A hoarse laugh escaped Robin and she pulled away from her mother to go grab Harry in a tight hug. Pulling back, she held him at arms' length with a reassuring smile.<br><br>"You're amazing, Harry, so very amazing," she whispered. "Never forget that, okay?" Standing back up, she looked at the Doctor and nodded. "Thank you," she whispered to him.

				"Uh, thanks," Harry spoke, blushing a little as Robin embraced him. He looked at the black spot and frowned grimly, "What will happen to him now Doctor?"<br><br>"Well, he won't die, but it'll take him a very long time to reform again," the Doctor said, nodding at Robin with a small smile on his roughly shaven face. "I'll use the TARDIS to drag whats left of him into space, along with his Toy Room. When he does finally reform I'll make sure that&nbsp; it will be in the middle of space and he'll be in orbit of a super nova. I think we can all agree that it will be a very long time before he finally pulls himself together."<br><br>"And what about us Doctor?" Harry asked, gesturing to the students and the school. "We were... his creations. What does that mean for us?"<br><br>"Absolutely nothing," the Doctor replied with a grin. "Come on... just because he created this world doesn't mean it has to end with him. You're even better than the real Harry potter, Harry, you defeated Voldermort at the age of ten! You've got six year on the fictional Harry."<br><br>"Besides, look at this place!" The Doctor said and spun on the spot as he gestured to the entire grand hall. "A world of incredible technology that allows humans to bend reality to their will! A place full of monsters and wonderful creatures! It's so amazing that it almost makes me want to stay!"<br><br>"You won't stay?" Harry asked, sounding a little glum.<br><br>"It's not my world Harry," the Doctor replied with a shake of his head. "I can't be your defense against the Dark Arts teacher, although I would really recommend an old friend of your Dad's, Reemus Lupin, he'll be brilliant!" The Doctor said before ruffling Harry's hair. "Who cares that you've got rid of the mean old wizard again? You've saved hundreds of lives and you've still got adventures to go on. There's still the Prisoner of Azkaban and a lot of other pests to deal with, like that runaway Basilisk, but nothing that you and your wonderful school can't handle."

				As they spoke, Robin looked around a little sadly. It wouldn't be easy to leave this place... A place she'd dreamt about since she was young, filled with amazing people and magic... Her heart yearned to ask the Doctor if he'd leave her here, just let her stay and be in the best place in the universe. But then she looked at her friend, the eccentric man whose real name she didn't even know.<br><br>And she knew she'd travel with him anywhere he went.<br><br>Walking to his side, she smiled and took his hand, winking at Harry. Giving his hand a squeeze, she looked up at the Doctor.<br><br>"This was the most amazing experience. I could die right now and die the happiest person in the universe. Thank you, Doctor. Also..." She grinned even wider. "My family got to ride in the TARDIS."

				"Oi, don't get cheeky!" The Doctor warned, but his friendly smile told her that he wasn't really angry. "Your family being abducted by a gravity scoop and imprisoned in the TARDIS by a personification of madness and dreams is one of the only exceptions to the rule of, no families are allowed in my TARDIS."<br><br>"Now, lets get out of here before I start chatting to Hagrid about blast ended skrewts and hippogriffs. If there were ever a big giant hairy man after my hearts it would be him," the Doctor said with a grin before motioning for Robin to follow him back to the TARDIS.<br><br>But as the Doctor walked towards the TARDIS the doors of the great hall opened once more. A hush suddenly befell the hall as an old man strode into the room. He was tall and thin, with silver hair and beard so long that they could be tucked into his belt. He had a very long and crooked nose and kind eyes that were a brilliant, soul-piercing shade of blue. On his nose perched half moon spectacles and draped around him were a lavish set of purple robes.<br><br>"Oh, now that's interesting..." the Doctor breathed as he stared at the old man, his grin wide but sheepish, as if he were unsure whether to be incredibly happy or incredible nervous. "Robin, calm yourself now, because You Know Who has just arrived."<br><br>The old man's eyes looked over the scene with calm intrigue. He stroked his white beard thoughtfully before he spotted the Doctor, Robin and Harry and walked over towards them. Before he could address the three of them the Doctor held out his hand and beamed at the old man with child like delight.<br><br>"I...am such...a huge fan," the Doctor spoke with joy as he held out his hand. "Hi, I'm the Doctor and this is Robin. It's an honor to meet you Sir!"<br><br>"I think it would be more apt to say its an honor to meet you Doctor," said Albus Dumbledore in his calm cheerful voice as he took the Doctor's hand and shook it. "I was wondering when you would finally arrive and aid dear Harry in freeing all of us."<br><br>"W-What...you knew?" The Doctor cried. "You know that Voldermort was a fake? You knew this place wasn't real!?"<br><br>"I do not mean to brag Doctor, but I am know for being rather clever," Dumbledore said with a smile before beaming at Robin. "The Toymaker created me to be exactly like Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, what he did not count on was that by doing so he created a tool that could understand the circumstances and thus he could not fully control it."<br><br>The Doctor's stare became even more bewildered before a massive grin broke out across his face, "You sly... You did it! You created the inconsistencies!"<br><br>"I did what I could Doctor. Never forget that it was you, Robin and dear Harry that saved us, along with his friends and your delightful family," Dumbledore said and nodded at Robin gratefully. "All of you have my deepest thanks."<br><br>"He's incredible!" The Doctor exclaimed, pointing at the old wizard and shaking Robin excitedly. "Look at him Robin! Isn't he absolutely incredible?"

				When the doors to the Hall opened, Robin tensed in fear. <em>He's back,</em> she thought, clenching her eyes shut and turning around... Only to open them and see her childhood role model striding confidently into the room. Her mouth popped open audibly as she stared at the man.<br><br>"It's... It's... It's..." The words were not coming out of her mouth. "It's... it's... Ohmygoodgravyit'sALBUSDUMBLEDORE." The last came out as one word, strung together and stunned. She looked back and forth between the Doctor and Dumbledore, unable to say anything else. It was as if a spell had been cast on her, one to make her completely incoherent.<br><br>When the Doctor turned to her, her face broke into a bright grin and she ran forward and hugged Dumbledore tightly around his waist. The silver beard was must softer than she anticipated, and he had a very elegant smell to him. After a moment, though Robin realized what she was&nbsp; doing and pulled back, letting go of him and blushing fiercely in embarrassment.<br><br>"Um, I'm sorry..."

				Dumbledore was taken back by the display of affection, but he smiled and laughed softly none the less. "Do not apologise I am quite flattered," he said warmly. "In fact I think a hug is the least you deserve for what you have done today," Dumbledore spoke and with without delay reached forwards and pulled both the Doctor and Robin into a hug.<br><br>"Happiest...day...of...my life," the Doctor breathed, hugging the old man back quickly before letting go and sheepishly scratching the back of his head. "Sorry to tell you this Sir but...I resign."<br><br>"I accept your resignation," Dumbledore chuckled. "Your gifts would be wasted here Doctor. Although I am sure there is much that you could teach us."<br><br>"Oh I don't know, I think it would be pretty boring in comparison to the stuff you could teach me," the Doctor said before reaching forwards and shaking Dumbledore's hand. "I'll visit at least. There is no way that I can just leave this planet be, it's far too interesting."<br><br>"I look forward to the return of both you and your wife, Doctor" Dumbledore said pleasantly, causing the Doctor's eyes to widen in surprise before he blushed. <br><br>"Uh...no we're not really married we're just..." The Doctor began, but then noticed the way that Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling mischievously and grinned before waggling his finger at the old man. "Oh you... come on Robin, it's time to let this old rogue run his school," the Doctor said before jogging to the TARDIS. <br><br>"See you Harry, you take care!" The Doctor called back to him. "You and your friends take care and make sure to kick Draco about when he's being a brat," he called before hopping over the table that stood before the TARDIS and opening the doors. "Oh and that reminds me, Snape! Sorry about the face!" He called to the potions teacher, who had walked into the room with bandages circling his bruise nose. "See you later my wonderful world of magic!"<br><br>"Doctor..." Dumbledore called out to him, his voice soft, but yet his tone seemed to carry a weight that seemed cold and foreboding. "Some words of advice before you leave. Your future is wild and dangerous, you may need these words in the dearest of times."<br><br>"Okay...lay them on me," the Doctor said eagerly, hanging off the door of the TARDIS.<br><br>"Beware who you let into your heart Doctor," Dumbledore spoke softly, his stare hard as he looked into the Doctor's eyes. "You must be cautious about who you share your world with," Dumbledore said before his gaze dropped to Robin and then back to the Doctor. "Beware the Child of Time, Doctor."<br><br>The Doctor was quiet. The smile had vanished from his face. A dark look had replaced it as his brow narrowed. His golden eyes seemed to grow just as cold and stern as Dumbledore's. He motioned for Robin to follow him before stepping into the TARDIS without another word.

				When Dumbledore pulled them both in for a hug, Robin smiled. Giggling as the Doctor made his comment, she thought to the fact that she was sharing a hug with two of her favorite people in the Universe.<br><br>"Mine too," she whispered, not knowing if either man had heard her. She blushed as well when Dumbledore called her the Doctor's wife again, but grinned again when it became obvious that he was joking. With a sigh, she turned as well, giving the room a little wave before running to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who had formed a little group near the TARDIS. Leaning down, she planted a kiss on Harry's and Ron's foreheads, laughing at the twin expressions of shock on their faces. <br><br>"You two stay diligent," she said, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. "Keep each other safe and never stop asking questions." Turning to Hermione, she smiled and hugged the girl, the tears spilling over. "And you keep them in line. You're brilliant and amazing, and I can't wait to visit you two again one day." Then, she looked at the three of them conspiratorially. "Don't tell anyone but... I'm keeping the wand."<br><br>The three young students laughed as she saluted them and joined the Doctor at the TARDIS. Her family was there too, and all of them were smiling, up until Dumbledore gave him the advice. The smile then faded from Robin's face and she followed the Doctor into the TARDIS.<br><br>"What did he mean?" she asked, confusion plain on her face. "Why did he keep looking at me?" Then, she noticed the beeping in her head had started up again. With a gulp, she tugged on her locket and added, "And why did that beeping start up again?"

				"Doesn't matter," the Doctor said with a shake of his head before beaming at Robin's family, who were waiting for them inside the TARDIS. "Our priority right now is to get your family home and off my ship! I've got places to be and they've got alien artifacts to uncover," the Doctor said before reaching into his pocket and pulling out the yo-yo from earlier. <br><br>"Speaking of which, can I keep this?" The Doctor asked. "My last one got nicked by a three eyed monkey with nine arms. I would really like a new one, it's so hard to find a good one and this one is just brilliant!"

				Even though the Doctor brushed it off, Robin thought all of her questions <em>did</em> matter, but she shook her head and put on a happy face. Running to her family, she pulled them in tightly for a hug. Her mother was sobbing with relief, and it sounded as though her father had gotten a sudden case of the sniffles. A genuine smile creased Robin's face then.<br><br>"You were all amazing," she whispered. "Thank you so much." They all smiled at her before pulling back. Allen smiled at the Doctor's request.<br><br>"Of course you can keep it," he said. Robin smiled, but she was still worried. The beeping in her head was growing louder.

				"Cheers Allen," the Doctor said with a smile before flicking at the controls. "Next stop, Florida! Please keep your arms and legs inside the moving vehicle at all times and if you catch on fire, remember to stop, duck, roll and keep as far away from me as possible. I'm allergic to fire." He said excitedly before letting out a whoop as the TARDIS took off through the time vortex.<br><br>Eventually, it came to a stop and the Doctor whistled before walking over to the doors and opening them for Robin's family. "Baker family, this has been a wild ride and we really should do it again," he said, bowing to them slightly. "By do it again, obviously I mean we should never repeat this because I like my insane godlike enemies to remain as far away from the relatives of my friends as possible."

They looked at her with a mixture of sadness and longing.<br><br>"I wish we could come with you," Allen said. "The Doctor is... just amazing."<br><br>"Shh... Don't compliment him too loudly," Robin teased, looking over her shoulder. "His head's big enough as it is. Besides, one day I'll get him to take you with us again. He can't resist me."

You never know when it could come in handy."<br><br>With a final wave, she walked back into the TARDIS, securely shutting the door behind her.

				"I know you do, but I can't give them to you," the Doctor replied without hesitation. He was busy flicking switches on the controls of the TARDIS, his gaze fixed on them as he worked the controls with that odd sense of randomness. "You have no idea how much that has been bothering me Robin. A large part of me just wants to leave it alone."<br><br>He lifted down the periscope and gazed through it before bashing at two red buttons and turning a green valve. The TARDIS began to let out the soothing sounds of travel as it took off down the Time Vortex.<br><br>"Do you know what happened last time someone had a consistent beat inside their head?" The Doctor asked, not turning away from the periscope as he addressed Robin. "I'll tell you what happened, I got killed, the human race went extinct for twenty four hours and all of creation nearly got pulled apart as my lunatic brethren decided to pull the entire Time War onto the face of Earth."<br><br>The Doctor pulled away from the periscope and finally turned to Robin with a grim look on his face. "There's a chance that what you have in your head is a beacon, implanted by my people as part of some sort of insane plot to end the Time War. Goodness knows why, but it could be. So forgive me if I'm a bit hesitant to check it out."

After a few moments, she had to look away, not wanting the Doctor to see the fear in her eyes. But after thinking, she looked back to him, a determined expression on her face.<br><br>"Well, that may be true," she said, wincing and slapping a hand to the side of her head. "So maybe you should just kill me now. Why take the chance? If we don't know, we may as well assume the worst. So go ahead Doctor, shoot me or something." Anger flashed in her eyes then. "But if you don't want to kill me, then we are <em>finding out</em> what this noise is. It's driving me nuts and I want to get to the bottom of it.

Besides, it was something to make him feel guilty about later.

Calmly letting his influence manipulate the workings of her head to let him see the mysterious beeping.<br><br>"Remember, anything you don't want me to see, picture a door," he said whilst sifting through her thoughts. The most recent had been of their wonderful adventures and the fear she had felt from encountering the monsters and villains that had threatened their lives, but eventually the Doctor began to hear the sound that bothered Robin.<br><br>He couldn't hear it clearly, the sound seemed to be masked by a thick layer of white noise, but in the distance he could hear the sound of a dim beeping, similar to that of an alarm clock. Curiously, he reached out to the sound, wading through the interference that clouded his path.

				Robin shifted uncomfortably, feeling the Doctor's strange presence in her memories. Somehow, though, she let him continue, keeping all of her thoughts open to him... Even those that embarrassed her a little. She winced when they got to the room with the Slitheen, and though she would rather have not relived that, she let the Doctor go through all the same.<br><br>Soon, they were wandering back through the times before she had met the Doctor. <em>When my life was normal,</em> she thought with a wry smile. Everything was pleasant but boring. Working, talking with friends, going to school... She blushed as they got back to her high school years, when she had been really socially awkward. She was in the band and the chorus, praised highly by both directors for her musical abilities. Twitching again at a particularly sad memory, she had to struggle to let him see.<br><br>It was the eleventh grade. The talent show was coming up, and Robin's family plus her directors had urged her to enter that year. She had eventually given in, deciding to play the piano and sing. It was decided that she would do "On My Own" from Les Misérables, her favorite musical at the time. The preparation was going well, and her biggest high school crush had even wished her good luck.<br><br>On the night of the talent show, she got up on the stage and prepared to play her song. The notes flowed beautifully from her fingers, and her voice rang through the auditorium with a confidence she didn't know she had. The audience was captivated, pulled in by the emotion she had put in the song. However, everything changed at the end. <br><br>"I love him," she sang softly, the music slowing a little. "I love him... I love Ben -" Then she realized she had accidentally said the name of the boy upon whom she had the crush, and his loud snort of laughter echoed cruelly through the silent room. Robin's voice dropped off and she stood, her face burning, before running off to the backstage area. <br><br>Quickly, Robin guided the Doctor out of that memory, zipping quickly through all of the others until finally arriving at one she didn't even know she had. She was wrapped in a blanket, silently looking up at a blue door. Suddenly, the door opened, and she saw two redheaded people looking down at her.<br><br>"Oh my God, Dennis, it's a baby," the woman said, leaning down and picking Robin up. "Oh look, she's beautiful..."

				The Doctor did not smile or frown at the memories he was shown. He kept his expression indifferent as he tried harder to reach out to the beeping. It was getting closer, but the Doctor was beginning to realise that the beeping was not consistent, it continued to change its beats in an irregular pattern. Something seemed to be interferring with the noise too much to be able to properly grasp it.<br><br><em>Beware the Child of Time</em><br><br>"Stop it," he muttered under his breath. "Stop saying that, it is getting really annoying." His thoughts curled around the beat and gently grabbed on to whatever he could before pulling it into his own head. It thrashed like an angry serpent, but the Doctor was able to see it reasonably clearly. He could feel the beat and could see why it was hidden from him.<br><br><em>Beware the Child of Time</em><br><br>"Oh...now that's interesting," the Doctor said before letting go of Robin's head and stepping back. "Remember when I told you that you were probably picking up distortion from the Time Vortex, caused by the Dalek's interference?" He asked before striding over to the TARDIS and typing at one of its many keyboards. "It turns out I was half right, something is interferring with your head Robin. The beeping is being distorted by several layers, the top being caused by spacial backlash."<br><br>The TARDIS began to hum once again as its course changed, the Doctor began to flick a yellow switch repeatedly on and off whilst steam bellowed from the pipes built into the walls of the TARDIS.<br><br>"You have quite the brain Robin, your psychic powers are so erratic that your picking up far too much. And one of the things you are picking up is alarming to say the least," the Doctor said before the TARDIS came to a stop. <br><br>He walked over to the doors and opened them, revealing the vast scene of space. Stars, moons and planets hung in the infinite blackness before them, but as incredible as this was what would be more noticable would be the shimmering spot that hung before them, rippling like the surface of a pool of water, mere inches from the open doors of the TARDIS.<br><br>"Just incredible," the Doctor spoke as he leaned out the TARDIS and stroked the ripple image. "Somehow your brain has led us to this exact point in space..." he breathed before pulling out a camera from his pocket and snapping a picture. "...and I have no idea what this is."<br><br>Suddenly a ball of light shot from the ripple and struck the Doctor in the chest. He let out a wheeze as all the air was knocked from him and went skidding back into the TARDIS, clutching the light like a catcher would a baseball.<br><br>"Oh my word!" The Doctor laughed as he looked down at the light and held it up for Robin to see. "Look, Robin! I've got mail!" He cheered as he held up a glowing cube.

				There was that strange warning again. <em>Beware the Child of Time.</em> Robin sighed, wondering why everything in the universe apparently had to be so cryptic. Soon, though the Doctor had let go of her head, and she felt a sense of relief. Having someone looking at your memories was a very strange experience. His words, however, were disturbing.<br><br>"Oh, great," she mumbled, crossing her arms. "Something's interfering with my brain. Fantastic." Curiously, she peered out at the scene the Doctor revealed when he opened the door. A gasp escaped her as she saw the planets, stars, and moons stretched out infinitely before them, seeming small at such a great distance but beautiful nonetheless. <br><br>Before Robin could protest, the Doctor was touching the strange white... spot. She had to roll her eyes when he took the picture, but a shout of alarm left her as her friend was flung across the TARDIS still holding tightly to the strange thing. Hurrying over to him, she gazed at the odd object, wondering how in the world it could be mail... and mail for the Doctor.<br><br>"Well go on, see what it says!" She said excitedly.

				"Hey, don't rush me. I want to tell you all about the use of Hypercubes and how they're used by Time Lords to interact with each oth-" the Doctor began to explain before his eyes suddenly widened and he stared at the glowing cube in his hands with a new found interest. "Now that is interesting."<br><br>He pressed the corners of the box with his fingers and at once an unearthly voice rang out from it. The Doctor winced as it spoke with gargled words that made his ears hurt, but eventually the distorted voice cleared and a different voice took its place.<br><br><em>"Hello? Hello, can anyone hear me?"</em> A smooth deep voice asked. <em>"Wait...that's not how these things work. I guess I just have to hope that you can hear me."</em><br><br>The Doctor walked over to Robin as he watched the cube pulse and glow. On the side of it was a black marking of a serpent biting its own tail, but the Doctor didn't seem at all interested in explaining what it was.<br><br><em>"If you are listening to this, then you must be the Doctor. And knowing how you work I advise you to remain silent whilst the message plays. We cannot afford any slip up,"</em> the voice spoke sternly, causing the Doctor to glare a little at the box, as if offended by its slight on him. <em>"What you are staring at is a gateway between dimensions. In three days this gateway will open wider due to the walls of the universe breaking down. I cannot tell you why this is happening, because I do not know."</em><br><br>"Well, that's helpful!" The Doctor hugged before flinching as the cube shushed him.<br><br><em>"Don't get snippy with me now. The situation is dire and you need to take it seriously. In three days you will return to this spot. It is important that you wait exactly three days, don't use the TARDIS to skip forwards, from what I have seen, you won't have time,"</em> The voice said solemnly. <em>"My universe is being threatened by something terrible and I won't be able to protect it. I'm going to be out of action for quite a while. I need you to step forward and help defend it for me. I know I ask much, but you're the only one who can do it."</em><br><br><em>"Well, I tell a lie, there are an infinite amount of others that could do it, you're just the one who was lucky enough to catch the Hypercube, but the point still stands,"</em> the voice said patronizingly. For a moment the Doctor almost hurled it back out the TARDIS, the only thing that stopped him was the sincerity of what came next. <em>"Three days Doctor. Don't be a fool and let me down."</em><br><br>The cube stopped glowing and for a moment the Doctor was quiet as he examined it in his hand. Then eventually, he huffed again and threw the cube over his shoulder before walking up to the controls of the TARDIS once more.<br><br>"Miserable sod," the Doctor muttered whilst setting the TARDIS for its next journey. "No matter what version I encounter they're always dead flippin grumpy."

				Robin looked shocked as the voice started coming out of the little cube. At first, it hurt her ears, but soon the voice became low and gentle, almost soothing. He spoke strangely, about dimensions having gateways and the Doctor having to return to this one in three days. Question after question sprang to Robin's mind, but she kept quiet, not wanting to interrupt.<br><br>She jumped a little when the Doctor tossed the cube, not expecting such a reaction.<br><br>"Um, okay Doctor, who was that?" she asked. "And what is that cube thing? And what did he mean?"

				"That was a Hypercube. It's a form of communication that Time Lords use to contact each other through time and space," the Doctor spoke as he circled the centre of the TARDIS, fiddling with the controls here and there. "My understanding is that a particular Time Lord from that reality sent his Hypercube through the gap between dimensions in the hope of encountering one of the infinite versions of me that are spread throughout realities."<br><br>"As for who he was..." the Doctor began before smiling at Robin. "That can wait, I would rather surprise you later one, besides, we have three days before we have to deal with the unbelievably horrible things that are happening to make a gate in reality open up."<br><br>"More importantly, how is the beeping inside your head, had it gotten any better? The signal of the Hypercube breaching that gap should have eased off your head and made it a little more bearable," the Doctor asked whilst turning a dial on the control board. "Also, are you going to stand around in my anorak all day or are you going to finally go and get changed? There's plenty of clothes down in the wardrobe section of my TARDIS."

				Robin's eyes narrowed as the Doctor still decided to keep secrets from her. It was obvious that he at least had some idea of whose voice had been in that hypercube... But, as always, he felt it necessary to keep her in the dark. With a sigh, she dismissed it, placing her hands on her hips. When he asked her the question about the beeping, Robin closed her eyes and listened. It wasn't gone, not completely... But it also wasn't as consistent or as loud.<br><br>"I still hear it," she said quietly, opening her eyes again. "But it's a lot softer and it's not as regular. Before the beat was very rhythmic but now it's a little... disjointed or something." A small smile appeared on her face. "Also, it's not as distracting. I can almost ignore it now. As far as your other question goes, yes, I'm going to go change now." She pulled the anorak off, handed it to the Doctor, and took off in the direction of the wardrobe.<br><br>When she arrived, she stopped for a moment. <em>How did I know how to get here?</em> she wondered, her eyes widening. After a second, she simply shrugged and started walking around the room, looking at the myriad clothing items stored there. There were outfits, male and female, from what looked like every time period and possibly almost every planet. <br><br>Her gaze stopped on a beautiful, flowing silver shirt. It was a tank top, and as her fingers ran down its side, its softness was completely alien to her. The material was not from Earth... but that didn't stop her from plucking it off the hanger all the same. She rummaged around until she found a bra that looked about her size, before shedding her current shirt, putting on the bra, and pulling on the tank top. The material slid like water against her skin, and she smiled as she looked at the shimmering material in the mirror. Looking down, she noticed she was still barefoot, and laughed as she padded down the rows to look for the rest of her outfit. <br><br>A pair of black leather-looking pants caught her eye. They looked very similar to the blue ones she had been wearing earlier, and when she pulled them from their hanger, she grinned. They were exactly the same. She then shimmied out of her shorts and pulled the yielding material up to rest on her hips. The alien leather formed to her curves perfectly. Next, she continued down into the wardrobe until her gaze came to rest on a lacy purple sweater of sorts... The pattern of the lace was intricate, and something she had never seen before. Curious, she pulled it on, and gasped. Though the material was thin and full of little holes - as lace usually was - the sweater was surprisingly warm. Smiling, she kept it, then only having shoes left to complete the outfit. She walked back toward the door, scanning the rows and rows of shoes. A pair of purple ones stuck out to her, and they were the same color as the sweater. Pulling them out, she stared at them for a moment. Once again, they were unlike anything she had seen before. They had a shimmery quality to them, the same as the silver tank top, but were of yet a different material. They were plain slip-ons, and when she pulled them on they fit perfectly. <br><br>To test them, she jogged in place for a moment and jumped up and down. They were even more pliant than tennis shoes, seeming perfect for the exercise she would obviously be getting with the Doctor. A smile creased her face as she looked in the mirror. She looked like a traveler... A traveler from a different world. Laughing, Robin realized that everything except the undergarments hailed from somewhere that was most certainly not Earth. <em>Maybe I should've been an alien,</em> she mused, starting to walk out of the room. Before she left, however, a glint caught her eye. Moving closer, she looked in the little box, pulling out a silver hair pin that had strange, circular markings on it... Almost like her locket. Her smile grew almost sad as she stuck the pin in her blonde curls before exiting the room.<br><br>A couple moments later, she was back on deck with the Doctor. Grinning, she held her arms out and twirled.<br><br>"How do I look?" Robin asked, winking at her friend.

				"You dress to stun," the Doctor called from the control panel. He hadn't even looked up from the controls of the TARDIS, but when he finally did he flashed Robin a grin. "Now seeing as we've just had a big adventure, I think we should slow things down. How about we go to the Saphiraza Cove? A great big cluster of planets, each of them own a big blue beach"<br><br>The Doctor had changed his clothes whilst Robin had been gone. His anorak had been replaced by a large duffle coat, a darker blue than his anorak, which hung off the TARDIS's periscope by its hood. His sandals had been replaced by a pair of bright Wellington boots. On the controls of the TARDIS lay three woollen jumpers that the Doctor was looking over with indecision whilst he pulled off his bolo tie.<br><br>"I figured that I should have a change myself and prepare for worse weather," the Doctor said whilst fiddling with the clothes, "Those big blue coves are known to be wet, wild and pretty cold. I'm thinking I should wrap up warm and maybe swap my bolo tie for a scar-" <br><br>The Doctor suddenly paused. His gaze became fixed on the small metal circle that he held between his fingers.<br><br>"Robin..." The Doctor spoke softly, "Could you do me the biggest of favors?" He asked whilst turning the object in his hands. "Could you do me a favor and tell me something very important?"<br><br>The Doctor began to pace around the control centre, fiddling with the object carefully, as if it could explode at any moment. He stopped and frowned at it before holding the bolo tie high in the air above his head. "Could you be a dear and tell me when I turned my bolo tie off?" The Doctor asked as he stared hard at the item. "Because I don't remember doing that....and that is very concerning."

				"Saphiraza Cove," Robin said, testing the name out. Grinning, she nodded. "I like it. Blue beaches... Sounds amazing." Her green eyes were watching the Doctor with interest as he looked between the items of clothing, seeming unable to decide which he liked best. A giggle escaped her then. Though this outfit would surely be strange as well, it was a bit more normal than what he had been wearing before.<br><br>"Wellingtons," she said with a grin. "Wellies, right? Isn't that what the British call them?" As her companion began talking again, she stopped, listening to the tone of his voice change. The grin faded and her face grew concerned as he asked about the bolo. At the back of her mind, the thought occurred to her that there was likely not going to be a time when they would have a completely normal, non-threatening trip together.<br><br>And for some reason... She wouldn't want it any other way.<br><br>"I don't know," Robin said, walking forward to peer at the metal circle. "Maybe it got turned off during the middle of the battle with the Daleks? Or maybe the Toymaker turned it off when he kidnapped us?" These completely foreign terms were rolling off her tongue easily now, and she felt a strange sense of pride as she spoke.

				"Unlikely, why would they bother with something so menial? In order to turn it off they would either need to hit it with an EMP or say the code words in my voice. I doubt they would go to so much trouble," the Doctor said before turning to Robin, his caramel eyes hard as he stared at her. "If I turned it off, then its likely that I did it after the events of the Nightingale, but I don't remember speaking any of the code words to deactivate it."<br><br>The Doctor was tense as he turned the Bolo tie in his hands. The little metal circle with funny ornamental lines now seemed like a dangerous item, as if he were holding a murder weapon in the palm of his hand. He slowly ran his thumb across the back of it, feeling the small button on its back.<br><br>"Why can't I remember turning it off Robin? Did I do it when I was in the TARDIS, waiting for you while you were getting changed? Its likely, but in order to deactivate the tie I need to say the words; splendid, fantastic, brilliant and geronimo, all in the space of five seconds. I would remember doing something so time consuming, but I don't," the Doctor spoke and watched the disc carefully as he considered the weight of what he had just proposed.<br><br>He thought back to what had been happening during the journey. He thought about reasons why he could forget and tried to link them to theories and ideas. Then he tried to recall the small details from every adventure and did his best to sort through the jumble of memories for anything that he had missed.<br><br>Then suddenly, it clicked.<br><br>"Oh... I'm an idiot," the Doctor said with a sigh of frustration before he began to violently pace back and fourth in front of Robin. "The Wire conveniently picks the only theme park with a psychic to create a plan, a Slitheen general has a chance to kill me yet it conveniently explodes in his face, whilst on the Nightingale you say just the right words to make my condition act up, in the heart of the Gaia Tree Myers and Higgins decide to conveniently help us in our time of need and now we've just met Dumbledore and he conveniently reprogrammed godly computers to create inconsistencies!" <br><br>"Why didn't I notice it sooner Robin?!" The Doctor yelled as he turned on his feet towards her. "Why didn't I notice the game that was being played? The subtle manipulations that seemed like simple mistakes or miraculous miracles. Why didn't I figure it all out sooner?"

				Robin simply listened to him talk, unable to connect the dots. It didn't seem to her like it should matter much that the little device had been turned off. It was only a wire... For it to be such a big deal to the Doctor made no sense. But apparently it was quite important, judging by the Doctor's obsession with it and the fact that he was taking the time to figure it out.<br><br>Alarm flared in her chest as he began pacing back and forth, his shaggy hair whirling along with him at every turn. All Robin could feel was confused, and her lips pursed as she tried to puzzle out what her companion was saying. Finally he yelled, making her jump, and turned to face her. He seemed to be asking her a question, and she shrugged at him.<br><br>"Doctor, I have no idea what you're talking about. Explain, please."

				"Robin, something has been manipulating us. Along with our friends and our enemies. It's been following us, altering our adventures all for the purpose of uniting the two of us and then making sure we stay alive," the Doctor explained before holding the bolo tie up for her to see. "It started by manipulating the Wire. She traveled continents in order to fin you and use you as part of her plan. The implanted memories of Harry Potter would have caused her to reach somewhere that catered to them, but she didn't have to go all the way to Florida. She could have chosen a cinema showing one of the movies or perhaps intruded on a Harry Potter convention. Anything that would fit the bill! But no, instead she decided to travel to Universal Studios for the sake of using you as bait!"<br><br>"Then, we were attacked by the Slitheens. I had just killed all but one of them and decided to leave the ringleader alive. He was wounded and scarred, but he had a gun and fingers that could pull a trigger. My back was turned, he could have killed me, but instead it blew up in his face. Was it just bad luck? I think not, someone <em>made</em> him fire the weapon incorrectly. That's why it blew up in his face."<br><br>"Shortly after that, we're on the bridge of the fake Nightingale. Greme Skinrad would have ordered his monster to rip us apart or fling us into space out of spite, but instead his plans are foiled by you asking just the right question to make me go loco and burn the creature with excess regeneration energy. This puts us in a situation in which we are saved thanks to the sacrifice of Harme, which wouldn't have happened if you hadn't asked me that one simple question."<br><br>"I could go on, but I think you get the picture. They've probably been using hypnotic suggestion to influence us and the people and creatures around us to make them act accordingly. They even managed it on me once, but what they didn't count on was that when they did it to me, I turned off my bolo tie so that at some point I would realise that something wasn't right."<br><br>The Doctor paused for a moment before tossing the bolo tie from one hand to the other. He looked gravely at it before raising his thumb over the button on the back of it. He voice was a whisper as he watched the device.<br><br>"And I bet that just before I deactivated the bolo tie. I left myself a message..." the Doctor spoke before he pressed down on the button.<br><br><em>"Its standing behind you,"</em> the Doctor's voice crackled through the speaker of the machine. <em>"Don't let it out of your sight. Splendid. Fantastic. Brilliant. Geronimo."</em><br><br>The Doctor whirled on the spot the moment the message finished. His eyes searched around the cockpit of the TARDIS until eventually he found what he had been looking for, the stowaway on his ship. The creature that had gone unnoticed during their trips, for they were always so focused on each other and their mad little adventures.<br><br>"Robin, don't take your eyes of it," the Doctor said as he pointed at what stood in the furthest corner of the TARDIS; a tall lankly alien with a large egg shaped head, small beady eyes and bone white skin. Its body was dressed in a black suit and tie with a leathery wrinkled appearance, but whether the outfit was an article of clothing or actually part of the skin was unknown.<br><br>It stood as still as a statue. Its thin arms were formally crossed behind its back as it watched Robin and the Doctor in complete and total silence.

				Robin listened to the Doctor's postulations with growing horror. It was true... Everything they'd done so far had seemed almost too good to be true... Strange little coincidences that they had taken for granted every time. As she thought about it, there was a strange feeling inside her, as though she had forgotten something very important. Frustration made her narrow her eyes. What was happening?<br><br>Then, the tall, blonde, brilliant alien pressed a small button on the bolo tie's hidden device. The words that came from it seemed to make no sense, but the Doctor whirled around all the same, giving Robin a command. When she followed his gaze, she let out a scream. Nearly all the aliens they had met so far had been terrifying, but nothing matched the fear that this one inspired in her. Memories came rushing back to her; when they had been standing in the room, speaking to Greme, Robin had turned around only to see one of these things standing behind her. It told her what to say to trigger the Doctor's memory. Thinking back on it, this terrifying white alien had been a hidden companion on all of their adventures. Now, Robin found herself shaking as she looked into its mouthless face.<br><br>She walked toward the Doctor and pressed close to him. How was this possible? Could an alien really erase itself from memories like that?<br><br>"Doctor," she said, her voice soft. "What is that? And why do I only remember it when I look at it?"

				"Its called a Silent, its an alien that's part of an organisation devoted to killing me before I can answer a question that must never be answered," the Doctor spoke before glancing towards Robin and shrugging, as if to say 'its a long story', before he continued with his explanation. "Its a religious order that involves humans and aliens alike, but this lot form a large majority of their ranks."<br><br>The Doctor took a few steps towards the creature. It made no attempt to move or engage the Doctor. It simply stared at him with its cold still eyes and let out the echoing sound of what was possibly its breathing.<br><br>"The Silents are memory proof. The moment you look away you forget that they were ever there," the Doctor said whilst tilting his head as he gazed up into the creatures eyes.<br><br>"But you know whats most annoying about these lot Robin?" The Doctor said as he quickly glanced back at her. "They are absolutely rubbish at holding up a decent conversation. You ask them a questions and all they do is stare and make that silly noise. I'm really hoping that this stowaway is the chatty one of the lot, because I really don't like talking to myself."<br><br>"Well..." The Doctor's voice trailed off as he grinned up at the creature, "...maybe that's not entirely true. So are you the one who implanted the beeping in Robin's head? Just why have you been manipulating us? And how is that old bat with the eye patch?"<br><br>The alien remained quiet for a moment, then eventually it spoke with its haunting strained voice. <em>"She is no longer our ally.

				A thrill of fear traveled up Robin's spine as the Doctor spoke. A race of aliens that are memory-proof... It was the ultimate evolutionary defense. When the Doctor brought up the beeping, Robin listened for it. It was still faint, still inconsistent... But still there. When the alien spoke, its voice made her shiver yet again. A thought crossed her mind and Robin edged toward the control panel, keeping her eyes locked on the Silent.<br><br>She put her hand out, feeling along the controls without looking. Finally, she felt what she wanted - a pad of paper with a pencil resting on top. She walked back to the Doctor and the horrifying alien and stood. At the top, she wrote the word "<em>Silent</em>". Beneath, she sketched the thing as best she could so that they would be able to consult it later. Then she began recording the conversation the Doctor was having with it.<br><br>"I don't know if you're recording this," she said quietly to the Doctor, still staring at the Silent, "But I'm writing it down anyway." Raising her voice, she addressed the strange alien.<br><br>"So who gave you your mission?" She asked it, keeping her voice steady. "And why do you need me? I'm a nobody. Just a human."

				The Doctor stepped in between Robin and the Silent as it turned its head towards her. It stared at her, almost curiously before tilting its head to one side, as if to fully admire the girl. The Doctor watched its every move, he knew that the creature could easily point one of its long fingers at either one of the and hit them with a blast of electricity, drawn from the environment around them. <br><br>Why it wasn't already doing that the Doctor had no idea, but the mystery only grew deeper when the creature answered Robin's question.<br><br><em>"No, you are not just a human,"</em> it spoke, its strained voice echoing through the room. Slowly, it brought its arms from out behind its back. The Doctor reacted by reaching into his pocket for a weapon to defend them with, but before he could act the creature did something that the Doctor would never have expected from it.<br><br>The Silent, slowly and politely, bowed to Robin.<br><br>The Doctor stared at the alien, completely confused by the strange display of manners. He opened his mouth to ask the creature if it was planning on killing them in a dance, but before the words left his mouth the creature straightened up and pointed a long white finger at the TARDIS controls.<br><br>A bolt of lightning leaped from the end of its finger and struck the controls. The TARDIS lurched to one side, flinging them across the ground as the control panel sparked and fizzed from its circuits being struck by the creatures attack.<br><br>"ROBIN! HOLD ON!" The Doctor called out, grabbing onto one of the metal pipes that sprouted from the floor of the TARDIS and hanging onto it for dear life whilst one hand grabbed his companion across the waist to keep her steady. "What happened?! Why is the ship going mental?!"

				Robin was focused more on furiously writing down everything that was happening than paying attention, so she was caught off guard when she realized what the Silent had said to her. She stared hard at it, her jade eyes narrowing as she wondered what it meant.<br><br>"Not just a human?" she asked, pencil scratching on paper even as she spoke. "What do you mean?" Though she was about to ask another question, she was stopped by the Silent's next gesture. It bowed to her. <em>Bowed.</em> Incredulously, she wrote down its actions, up to the point when it attacked the TARDIS. As the blue box whirled out of control, she was jarred to the side, grabbing instinctively onto something beside her.<br><br>When the Doctor grabbed her she felt relieved, but still worried as he asked her what was happening.<br><br>"I don't know!" She said, before realizing something. A pad of paper was clutched in her hand, with a drawing of a strange creature on it. It had what looked like an entire conversation written on it. Beneath the strange drawing were the words "<em>Standing in the corner. Don't stop looking at it.</em>" The very last words were, "<em>It bowed to me. Then pointed a finger</em>" and then the words were cut off. Though the TARDIS was shaking violently, she shoved the paper at the Doctor.<br><br>"What does this mean?" she asked, eyes squeezing shut.

				The Doctor grabbed the paper before letting out a yell as the room of the TARDIS spun before their eyes. Whatever had just happened one thing was for sure, the TARDIS was in motion and the journey was rough. He held Robin close and guided her arms to wrap around the pipe he was clinging onto. Then, after bracing himself against the metal part of the TARDIS, he pushed off and leaped towards the console.<br><br>"Please work! Please work! Please work!" The Doctor exclaimed as he soared before landing against the controls. His hand lashed out at one of the levers and pulled it down. Immediately, the TARDIS stopped its mad voyage.<br><br>"Good girl," the Doctor said as he patted the controls affectionately. "Thanks for not breaking to bits Hun," he said with a chuckle before unfolding the piece of paper and looking over it. The Doctors face changed from surprised to confused before he let out a growl and shoved the paper into his pocket. He began to frantically examine the controls, checking each and every lever, switch and button, as if checking for damage.<br><br>"So, do you want to hear the horrifying news or the weird news?" The Doctor asked after a few seconds. "The horrifying news is that we've had a memory proof alien stowed away on the TARDIS for a very long time. Its called a Silent, it could have slit our throats any time it wanted because we never noticed it, we would always forget that it was standing right behind us every time we so much as glanced at it."<br><br>The Doctor was now gazing at one of the screens of the TARDIS as it scanned for lifeforms on through every inch of the TARDIS. So far it wasn't picking up anything but the usual, the Silent was no longer on board, how it had managed to get off his ship was another mystery. <br><br>"The weird news is that even though we discovered it, it made no plans to kill us. Instead it decided to sabotage our journey and send us to this precise location" the Doctor said before pulling down the periscope and looking through it. "London, England, January 1st 2015...an odd choice. What's so special about this New Years Da-"<br><br>The Doctor's breath caught in his throat. Slowly, he stepped back from the periscope. For a moment he stared uncomprehendingly at the periscope. Whatever he had seen it had rattled him thoroughly, his eyes were wide with alarm and his face was turning pale.<br><br>"No..." the Doctor whispered before suddenly exploding into a run and bolted towards the doors of the TARDIS. He slammed into them, sending the doors swinging open violently with a crash.<br><br>What lay beyond them was as unsettling as it was strange. The Doctor had stepped out into Trafalgar square, one of the most famous places in London as well as one of the most popular tourist attractions. The sun was high in the sky, beaming down on the city with cold winter light. Everything about the scene suggested a normal day...if it hadn't been for one particular fact.<br><br>"Where are all the people?" the Doctor asked, his voice a whisper as he spun on the spot as he tried to locate a single sign of life, but all he would be able to see was empty streets and buildings and all he would be able to hear, was silence. London was empty. The capital city of England had been vacated.

				Robin held onto the pipe as tightly as she could, squeezing her eyes shut and hoping against hope that the Doctor could stop the TARDIS. Part of her was also wondering what in the world that paper was about... And how it was possible that she had forgotten writing it. It was definitely her untidy handwriting on the paper...<br><br>Finally, the TARDIS stopped its violent shaking, and Robin opened her eyes. With a sigh, she let go of the pipe and turned to look at the Doctor. As he began to speak, Robin grew terrified, looking around the large room for any sign of the creature. Her hand reached up to twist her locket as she looked, but she saw nothing. Memory-proof... It was completely insane. <br><br>Then, of course, he seemed to realize something that was completely lost on the blonde human. His protestations confused her, but as he ran off, she followed him as always. As they emerged from the TARDIS, Robin looked around, and grew just as shocked as her companion. There were no people. The square was completely silent. <br><br>"Doctor," she said, looking up at him. "What's happening? Where is everyone?"

				"I don't know," the Doctor spoke, his voice low as he turned slowly on the spot, seeking out any sign of life. No one seemed to be about. There were no people, the sound of chatter and busy traffic was nonexistent. The entire city was devoid of life, save for the pigeons, who waddled about Trafalgar square with similar confusion on their blank faces. They too seemed to be wondering why there no humans about to feed them with bird seed and the remainders of whatever fast food they had been munching on.<br><br>"This place is a ghost town," the Doctor spoke before looking up at the sky and squinting. "Has there been an invasion? Is London abandoned because of a viral outbreak? Have the people been sucked into an alternate dimension? Or did everyone just decide that London was cold and boring and made an effort to move to somewhere warm and exciting like Rio?"<br><br>The Doctor didn't waste anymore time wondering. He sprinted across the deserted square until he reached one of London's many red phoneboxes. He jumped inside and began dialing a number, his fingers pounding the numbers urgently before he pulled yanked the phone off its hook.<br><br>"I need to speak to Kate Stewart," the Doctor said as he dialled the number. "I need a run down of whats happening and I need it now," he hissed before holding the phone to his ear. The phone rang, but no one answered. The Doctor's expression was growing increasingly grim. "And now UNIT is picking up. That's not right. They always answer."

				Robin looked around warily, feeling as though some new, terrifying threat would jump out at any moment. The square remained silent... Which was somehow much more ominous. When the Doctor mentioned a viral outbreak, she grew a little afraid, hoping that if that was the case, she and the Doctor weren't in danger. When she realized that he was no longer talking, she looked around. With a sigh, she took off after her friend. <br><br>He mentioned UNIT, which reminded her of their friends in the Gaia tree. Her eyes narrowed as the Doctor spoke. Something was terribly wrong here... And a new, even scarier thought entered her head. <br><br>"Doctor..." Her voice was frightened, and she placed a hand on his arm. "What if it isn't just London? What if the whole world is empty?"

				The Doctor was quiet as he absorbed Robin's theory. After a moment of quiet consideration he picked up the phone again and began calling several different numbers. He started with the Royal Family's house, then he moved on to President Obama's cell phone, then he called an old friend from ISA and followed it with a quick call to a lovely couple that he had met in Italy. Every phonecall ended the same way, no one answered.<br><br>"No ones home," the Doctor spoke, his voice hard as he put down the phone. "I call up everywhere, but theres no response. Not even Jackman picked up. And he's never once failed to answer my calls ever since I got him the part of Wolverine," the Doctor said before shaking his head slowly. "No one's answering. Plant Earth is abandoned... but how?" <br><br>The Doctor walked up to Robin and placed his hands on her shoulders, his golden eyes stared into hers as his fingers held her tight, "Robin, something is really wrong here. We're in a scary situation, but you need to remain calm at all times. Do you understand?" He asked before looking over her shoulder. "Just remember, I'm going to get you out of this. We are going to find out whats going on and why they've taken every human on Earth, but first you need to do me another favor."

				Robin looked into the Doctor's timeless eyes with a mixture of fear and awe. The whole world was abandoned and yet he still looked to her and asked her for a favor. It was amazing, the way he could make even the most average of humans feel like try actually meant something. Robin managed a small smile. <br><br>"Normally if I heard you say that you knew Hugh Jackman," she said, trying to keep her fright out of her voice, "if demand that you take me to meet him right away. As it is, I suppose I can hold off on that demand." She cocked her head to the side, looking at the Time Lord curiously.<br><br>"What exactly is the favor? Of course I'll do it."

				"Run, very, very, fast," the Doctor spoke before turning Robin on the spot to see what he had spotted coming out of an alleyway on the road behind them. Striding out of the darkness at a jerky uneven pace were five large manequin dolls, their faces blank and expressionless and their bodies covered in designer clothes. They gazed at Robin and the Doctor, even though they had no eyes, and raised their arms towards them before their hands swung open to reveal a small hidden cannon.<br><br>"Start running now! Put one leg in front of the other and peg it like you've never pegged it before!" The Doctor yelled before exploding into a run, just in time to avoid a barrage of miniature rockets that hammered into the phonebox and blew it to smithereens.<br><br>"Plastic aliens with built in weaponry! They colonise entire worlds by implanting plastic duplicates as spies in human society!" The Doctor called back as they tore down the road, weaving right and left to avoid another hail of miniature rockets. "Just thought you should know! I think its nice to know who's killing you and why!" <br><br>They turned into a car park and the Doctor quickly pulled Robin behind a white minivan, pressing her to the side of it in an attempt to keep them hidden.<br><br>"Can you drive?" He whispered before nodding to the minivan. "Can you drive a white ominous looking minivan? I can't remember if I can drive or not so I'm really hoping that you've got a drivers license that specialises in driving white ominous looking minivans!"

				Robin had long since learned that when the Doctor says to run, it's probably the best idea to follow without question. They began sprinting at almost the same instant, and Robin screamed as a rocket whizzed just past her ear and into the phone box. As the box exploded, she caught up to the Doctor, listening intently as he explained what these mannequins were. <br><br>"Are they the ones who got rid of all the humans?" she yelled back, but her voice was drowned out by yet another explosion that came from behind them. Deciding it was better just to run, she kept her mouth shut and sprinted alongside her friend. As they ducked behind the van, she panted loudly, her chest heaving. When the Doctor asked her his questions, she nodded vigorously.<br><br>"Yes, I can drive!" she said. "I don't exactly have a specialty in white minivans but I'm assuming the method is the same, as long as your screwdriver can get the car started!"

				The Doctor pulled out the sonic screwdriver immediately and smirked at her before waggling his eyebrows at her. "Consider it done!" He said before the green bulb began to whir as he pressed the screwdriver to the doors.<br><br>"It's likely that they're the cause. The Autons have tried to gain control of this planet before," the Doctor said whilst unlocking the doors."Hopefully they haven't killed them and instead they've simply captured all the humans and placed them in a giant prison. They tend to keep the humans alive that they wish to duplicate. We may be able to get them back."<br><br>As the van doors opened a nearby ford fiesta exploded in a fiery cloud a the Autons let loose another barrage of rockets. Their heavy plastic feet stomped on the tarmac as they marched towards the fleeing pair. The Doctor pushed Robin into the van and jumped in beside her before pointing the screwdriver at the wheel.<br><br>"Come on you beauty, don't let me down. I don't want to be killed by overgrown ken dolls wearing Prada!" The Doctor spoke as the screwdriver let out an even higher pitched whirr. The van sprung to life with a loud roar and the Doctor let out a cry of triumph. "Beautiful! Now get us out of here Robin. And knock a few Autons down while you're at-"<br><br>The glass of the van suddenly shattered with a loud bang as something struck the center of the glass. The Doctor ducked as shards of glass sprayed over him and Robin, but he didn't stay down for long. Not when he heard the sound of heavy armored footsteps against rough tarmac.<br><br>"Oh...now that's interesting," the Doctor spoke as he looked out from the gigantic hole in the windscreen. Approaching them in a fast military job, were five short humanoid figures in blue armor. They each carried huge black rifles that seemed just a little two big for them to hold in their pudgy three fingered hands and their heads were covered by dome like helmets with semicircular eye holes. <br><br>"What the heck are the Sontarans doing here?" The Doctor asked with wonder as he watched the alien stop and take aim.<br><br>"Sontarans! Take aim!" The leader spoke in a gruff but formal voice before the platoon took aim at their van.<br><br>"Never mind, I guess that will be one of life's great mysteries. ROBIN, PUNCH IT!" The Doctor roared a the Sontarans prepared to open fire. For a moment it seemed as if the brutes would vaporise them instantly, but before they could fire a shot one of the soldiers pointed past them and let out a cry. <br><br>"Leader! The plastic dolls have been sighted! Permission to open fire?" The soldier asked eagerly. The Leader of the group seemed to consider the request before nodding and pointing past the van at the approaching Autons, who were now holding their hand cannons high in the direction of the new threat.<br><br>"Sontarans! Open fire!" The Leader barked and the platoon let fourth a burst of red hot death from their alien weapons. The car park became filled with the sound of battle, explosions rattled the van as the Autons rockets and the Sontarans laser blasts struck the cars caught in the crossfire.

				Robin listened as the Doctor explained, and allowed herself to be pushed into the van. For a moment, she froze, realizing that she might not be as good at driving as she had thought... Not in England, anyway. The steering wheel was on the other (in her mind, wrong) side of the car. But another realization occurred just after that... It wasn't like there would be any police to ticket her for driving recklessly.<br><br>Placing her hands as confidently as she could on the wheel, the determined blonde turned to look at the Doctor, before letting out a scream as the glass flew inward at them. Her arms flew up instinctively to protect her face, but after a moment she looked out to see the formation of small aliens in front of them. An absurd urge to laugh surfaced in her mind... until the tiny warriors began aiming at them.<br><br>Her foot readied to slam down on the gas pedal when the Doctor yelled, but then the Sontarans decided to begin firing at the Autons instead. Incredulously, her mouth fell open, and she looked at the Doctor. As the two groups started battling each other, Robin snapped out of it and carefully began to back out of the parking spot. One of the Autons fell, and she drove toward it, trying to drive through the area least clogged by fire. As she pressed the gas pedal harder, they spun out and took out five Autons as she fled the parking lot.<br><br>"What do I do now?" she called to the Doctor, speeding away. "And what in the world are Sontarans?"

				"Basic facts about the Sontarans, they are the finest soldiers in the galaxy, they're a clone race that hails from the planet of Sontar, they live for war and spend most of their time figuring out how to destroy their enemies," the Doctor explained whilst they tore down the roads of London, the white van barely keeping on its wheels as it turned round the corners.<br><br>"With any luck they'll be more focused on killing off the Autons, since they'll consider them to currently be the most dangerous threat," the Doctor said whilst he rummaged through the pockets of his coat. He pulled out his gravity detecting Yo-Yo and began to spin it up and down on the seat of the van. <br><br>"Gravity is normal," the Doctor said before huffing angrily. "What on Earth is going on here? If the Autons got rid of everyone then why are the Sontarans fighting them? The Earth can't be that important to them.... unless of course there was something on Earth that they wanted? Maybe they've found something that the Autons aren't aware of?"<br><br>"Also..." The Doctor stopped his musing and scratched his chin thoughtfully. "... why do I feel like I've forgotten something important? I think there was a fact about the Sontarans that I've forgotten about. Oh, wait! The Sontarans are at war with a another race, they're called the Rutans."<br><br>The white van came to a stop as they turned a corner. Blocking their path were five green alien lifeforms that resembled glowing jelyfish the size of horses. Although they had no eyes, they seemed to regard the Doctor and Robin for a moment before they rose their tentacles into the air.<br><br>"And the Rutans look like that Robin, shall we turn the van around now?" The Doctor asked before letting out a nervous laugh as the Rutans began to generate green bolts of electricity between their slimy digits. "I think it would be a really good idea if we turned around now"

				"But what could the Earth have that a species like the Sontarans would want?" Robin mused, barely paying attention as she turned corners. It hadn't been as hard as she'd thought, learning how to drive in the opposite side of the car. Stress and fear probably made it easier... "If they're made for war, all they would want would be more advanced weaponry, right? And I seriously doubt that two years made a huge difference in the Earth's development of advanced weapons." <br><br>Her observations ceased as the Doctor began explaining the Sontarans' current war, and she screeched the van to a halt as the green aliens appeared before them. This time, however, no screams escaped the human. For a moment, she simply gazed at the creatures, her green eyes full of wonder. It was plain to see that her adventures with the Doctor were acclimatizing her to frequent meetings with new life forms... Which was good, because it gave her the presence of mind to listen immediately to her companion's advice. With a rev of the engines, she spun them around, retreating as fast as she could from the group of Rutans.<br><br>"Why are they all here, Doctor?" she asked, turning corners hastily in an attempt to get away from all three species of aliens. "The finest soldiers in the galaxy, their primary enemy, and some Autons that have tried taking over Earth before? What could they possibly want? And are there more?" Then, she remembered the pad of paper and the strange words upon it. Turning to the Doctor, she once again halted the van after turning them into a secluded alleyway.<br><br>"And what about that memory-proof alien? The Silent?" her voice grew slightly more fearful. "Why did it bring us here? And why did it say I'm not just a human and... bow to me? None of this makes any sense, Doctor."

				"It doesn't. This is one gigantic Scooby-Doo special of a mystery and I have no idea where to even start with it," the Doctor spoke, wincing as one of the Rutan's bioelectric blasts struck a nearby lamppost, causing it to burst into flames and shower one side of the van with molten glass. He could see the creatures blasting away at them in the wing mirror, trying to strike them a they fled.<br><br>"Maybe if we head back to the TARDIS I can get a lock on one of their transmissions and find out why they're here and why they're fighting each other," the Doctor said before pausing and sheepishly scratching the back of his head. "Well...apart from the reason that they're destructive aliens that fighter other aliens. Hopefully the Sontarans and the Autons won't be near the TARDIS and we'll have a clear path- OH COME ON!"<br><br>The van came to a stop again as a new threat appeared before them. In the road ahead of them stood five silver humanoid figures that appeared to be made from solid steel. They had gaping holes for eyes and had guns built into the sides of their cylindrical arms, all of which were pointed in their direction.<br><br>"Cybermen?! Are you serious?!" The Doctor exclaimed as the van screeched to a halt. The metal men clanged their fists against their chest plates before taking aim at the vehicle.<br><br><strong>"Delete!"</strong> The Cybermen spoke loudly in their empty monotone voices. Blasts of light soared from the cannons in the arms, narrowly missing the side of the van. For a moment it seemed as if their enemy had terrible aim. Then the Doctor noticed what was closing in behind them.<br><br>"Sontarans! Take aim!" The leader of the Sontarans called out from behind the van. The Doctor could see the soldiers aiming for the Cybermen in the reflection of the wing mirrors, but he wasn't at all comforted by their choice of priorities, for he could see the Rutans in the distance, slowly catching up on them.<br><br>"Okay... Robin, don't panic. I'm about to think of something incredible," the Doctor said slowly before reaching out and taking her hand gently. "Its going to be amazing, in fact I'm sure you'll probably fall in love with me. Don't worry, it happens a lot." The grim tone in his voice gave away everything, the two of them were in one of the worst situations they had ever been in and the Doctor had no idea how this was going to play out.

				The metal men that appeared seemed somehow far more sinister than any of the other aliens on Earth thus far. There was something very disconcerting about them... As though they had a secret that Robin did not want to find out. However, she did her best to keep her cool, and smiled at the Doctor as though this was any normal day.<br><br>"Okay, so we've got Autons, Sontarans, Rutans, and Cybermen. You've beat them before, right? Well, now you have me... So we'll do it again. Right?" She did her best to sound cheerful, but the look on the Doctor's face made her smile fade a little. When he spoke again and took her hand, her fears were confirmed. The smile stayed on her face, but her eyes betrayed her fear. But still, the girl squeezed his hand and tried hard to reassure him.<br><br>"Oh, Doctor," she said, bringing his hand up to kiss it lightly. "I already love you. And I know that whatever happens... Well, it's supposed to happen. And I trust you. So we'll do whatever you think is best. Tell me what you need me to do and I'll do it."

				The Doctor was quiet for a moment. His gaze lingered on Robin's until eventually a smile spread across his lips. Even in a hopeless situation, she still had faith. He couldn't let that go to waste. "I'm going to get you out of here," the Doctor said before reaching into his pocket and pulling out the slingshot he had used against Davros. He armed it with a small blue pebble that he pulled out of his top coat pocket and pulled it back before aiming at the Cybermen. "I'm going to use this to draw their fire, once they're locked on me I want you to kick open the door and jump to the ground. When you hear the firing stop, run like the wind."<br><br>Once the Doctor was finished he pulled back the pebble and fired it at the Cybermen. It struck one of the metal men on the head, directing its attention towards him. For a moment it stared vacantly at him, as if unsure whether the blond surfer in the duffle coat had just done something so mad as attract its attention.<br><br>"Okay, run Robin! Go now! Go now!" The Doctor yelled before pushing her out of the van and sliding into the drivers seat. He pushed down on the gas and the van sprung to life, tearing across the street towards the metal soldiers that blasted wildly at the approaching battering ram on wheels.<br><br>"Okay, time to see if I can still drive," the Doctor murmured before pulling hard on the steering wheel. The van swerved violently to the right as it approached the Cybermen, picking up speed as it turned on its wheels. If it hit them whilst turning it would more than likely knock them down like a bowling pins.<br><br>Except, that didn't happen. For the Doctor had missed the Cybermen completely and accidentally parked in front of them. His face turned red as he looked at them blankly, they too seemed to stare back with their empty sockets, as if unsure when the Doctor's ingenious plan would commence.<br><br>"Okay, so that settles it. I can't drive," he said before the Cybermen raised their weapons to point at his head. "I can do this thought," he spoke before pushing the sonic screwdriver against the van's radio. It let out a horrific shriek, causing the Cybermen to falter and clutch their head in between their metal hands as the signal screwed with their sensors.<br><br>"RUN ROBIN! RUN NOW! DON'T LOOK BACK!" The Doctor yelled. He knew that it was unlikely that he would survive, the van was too much of a target, if the Sontarans or the Rutans hit the engine he would go up in flames, but that didn't matter, the explosion would distract the armies and Robin would escape. That would be victory enough for him.<br><br>The only problem with that plan was that the Sontarans and the Rutans had ceased firing at the Doctor and each other, for they were far too busy trying not to be run down by the huge armored black van with the mechanical dog riding on top of it. <br><br>The Doctor stared abashed at the scene as the van drew closer. The Sontarans were yelling commands at each other as the van raced past them and parked in the middle of the chaos.<br><br><em>"Targets not retreating. Continuing fire,"</em> the electronic, seemingly innocent voice of the dog spoke as it blasted at the aliens with red laser blasts which burned holes into the armor of the Sontarans and seemed to irritate the gelatinous forms of the Rutans. Soon, both armies began to disperse, figuring that the psychotic disco robot dog was a foe that would require some thought.<br><br>"I love that dog," the Doctor whispered as the metal dog ceased firing at its enemies. "I love that dog so much that I want to marry it," he said before beaming brightly. He bolted from the van, releasing the pressure on the radio and freeing the Cybermen from their torment as he ran across the road.<br><br>"Robin! My plan worked! K-9 is here to save us! Just like I planned!" The Doctor called with a mad laugh.

				Robin's green eyes searched the Doctor's face as he spoke, a layer of tears building up as she considered what this could mean for him. Maybe she would make it, maybe not... But for the Doctor to draw the fire of all of his foes at once seemed to lessen his chances considerably. A single tear spilled over, and she hoped against all hope that he would make it somehow.<br><br>When he pushed her out of the van, she ran as fast as she possibly could to the side of the alley, ducking behind the distracted Cybermen. Her heart pounding, she rounded the corner... Safe, at least for the moment. Warily, the blonde poked her head around the wall, watching as the Doctor drove straight at the Cybermen... Only to stop just in front of them. Gasping, her hand flew to her locket, yanking almost violently on the chain.<br><br>Her hands then crushed against her ears, trying to drown out the noise being made by the Doctor in the van... But her eyes never closed, and she saw the huge black vehicle come lumbering down the alley... With some sort of robot dog riding on the top of it. A strangled laugh escaped her as the dog began firing at the creatures, speaking with a charming metallic voice.<br><br><em>Here we are,</em> she thought helplessly, seeing the Doctor's bemused face, <em>under attack by four hostile species of aliens... And robot Lassie comes to save the day.</em> <br><br>As the Sontarans and Rutans retreated and the Doctor started to run, Robin herself moved toward him, smiling hugely. Her hope had been lost, but as usual, something happened in the nick of time to save them. This caused a strange niggling sensation in her mind... As though she'd forgotten something very important. But she just shook her head as she ran toward the Doctor and happily met him.<br><br>"Oh, right!" she laughed, resisting the urge to hug him. "Just like you planned!" Looking up to the little dog, she beamed. "Hello, K-9! Nice to meet you! Thanks for saving our skins!"

				"Hey, I saved our skins. It was my plan," the Doctor whined as they approached the van. "K-9, long time no see! Tell me, is it legal for a man to marry a robot dog in 2015?"<br><br><em>"Negative!"</em> The dog chirped. Its laser cannon nose shrinking back into its small metal head.<br><br>"Darn, I guess I won't be living the dream," the Doctor said before stepping back as the van doors opened. "Ah! So now we get to meet our beloved savior! I didn't think that K-9 could drive. I've been dreaming of this moment for exactly thirty three seconds," the Doctor said gleefully as the doors opened with a clang.<br><br>"How do you do, I'm the Doctor and this is Robin-" the Doctor began before being interrupted as a fist crunched into the middle of his fist and sent him sprawling back on the ground.<br><br>"WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOU SOD?!" Asked the angry voice of a raven haired welsh woman dressed in a black leather jacket and jeans. She was a pretty woman, but the anger in her eyes made her look more fearsome than the Sontarans and the Rutans put together. She stepped off the van and glared down at the Doctor, her heavy boots clanging against the floor.<br><br>"Robin! She punched me!" The Doctor cried as he clutched his nose and staggered to his feet. "She punched me right in the face! Why do woman always aim for my face?"<br><br>"Well you deserve it you gigantic twat!" The woman snarled at him before breathing in deeply and shuttering her eyes. Slowly she exhaled and relaxed her shoulders before motioning for Robin to get into the van with a jerk of her head. "Get in before the Cybers blow your head off. Feel free to leave the prick."

				Robin's mouth opened into an O of shock as the woman's fist connected with the Doctor's face. As he fell to the ground, she ran to his side and looked accusingly up at the beautiful, irate woman. As the Doctor stood, Robin put her hand around his arm and tried to help him. For some reason, this woman was screaming at the Time Lord as though all of this was his fault. <br><br>"Let's get in the van, Doctor," Robin said, looking warily over at the stirring Cybermen. Letting go of her friend, she walked toward the van, but paused before entering. Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the woman again.<br><br>"Who are you?" she asked, a bit of anger in her voice. "Also, why are you punching the one person who could probably get us out of this mess? That seems a little unhelpful if you ask me."

				The woman glared back at her, the fierceness in her eyes not fading by an inch. For a moment it seemed as if she would punch Robin as well, but instead she grunted and motioned again for Robin to get into the van. "I'm Gwen Cooper from Torchwood and in about ten minutes I promise that you're going to want to punch that man in the face."<br><br>"Gwen Cooper!" The Doctor said happily, despite clutching his nose. "I know you! You were there when the Daleks stole planet earth! Jack went on about you all the time!" The Doctor exclaimed and grinned at the woman, only to have the smile fade from his face as she stared daggers at him. "Uh, please don't punch me again."<br><br>"I'm not making any promises, get in," Gwen spoke before hoping into the van. The vehicle was much more spacious than the van they had traveled in earlier. There were six rows of seats and a back area that contained computer equipment and a medical bed, much like one that could be found in an ambulance.<br><br>"Sky, fire up the Jammer, we're returning to base," Gwen called to the back of the van. A young girl with long light brown hair popped up from between the computers and circuits. Her face lit up with shock as her eyes landed on the Doctor, who laughed sheepishly before extending his hand.<br><br>"Hello there I'm the Doctor, please tell me you're not going to punch me," he said with a nervous laugh before letting out a yelp as Gwen violently turned the van to one side, sending him crashing into one of the seats.<br><br>"I'm considering it," the girl spoke, her brow narrowed on the Doctor. "Doctor, we've met before. Its me."<br><br>"Nice to meet you Me, this is Robin. If you're planning on hitting me please note that she will spring to my defense with her intense knowledge of martial arts and ninja abilities," the Doctor said before wincing again as another burst of pain shot through his nose. "When the heck did the welsh start hitting that hard? Did she learn that from you Me?"<br><br>The girl didn't reply, her expression seemed torn between confusion and anger. After a moment of staring at the Doctor, she jumped into the back of the van and began to meddle with the computers and gizmos that lay in the back.

				With the fiery look that Gwen Cooper was shooting her, Robin meekly obeyed her direction and hopped into the van. Silently, she sat in one of the seats, folding her hands in her lap and looking around. It was spacious and comfortable, seeming to be some sort of rescue vehicle. As the two women spoke to the Doctor and the van lurched into motion, Robin grasped the seat on both sides of her and held on for dear life.<br><br>As the brown-haired girl spoke to the Doctor, Robin could see that his forgetfulness visibly upset her. It made her sad to see what kind of effect he had on people... Especially if he then forgot about them. She found herself wondering what this girl had once meant to the Doctor... or if he had even met her yet. She was sure that time-traveling could make people meet a bit out of order.<br><br>As their course evened out a bit, Robin looked at her companion and rolled her eyes before slowly climbing back toward the other, not-so-angry girl. <br><br>"Hi, I'm Robin," she said softly, smiling. "The scar can be a bit off-putting I'm sure, but I'm typically a nice person. I also don't know kung-fu. Now, it's not really my business, but... The Doctor had some sort of accident that caused him to lose a lot of his memories. When I met him he hardly remembered anything at all. Slowly, they've been coming back to him, but... I think there are some still missing. I'm not saying he's the easiest to get along with, but... you might need to remind him of who you are." Considering for a moment, she added, "Also, it's possible that he hasn't met you yet, but you've met him. Did he seem to know who you were the last time you met?"

				The girl looked up from the computers and managed to give Robin a weak smile. "Nice to meet you," she spoke before turning a dial on one of the machines, causing a slow hum to emanate from the computer. "You don't need to worry, I'm not mad of him. I don't care if he doesn't remember me," the girl spoke softly before gazing over at the Doctor, who had now shuffled to a seat next to Gwen. "I'm not the one he let down," she muttered before returning to her work. <br><br>"Gwen, what happened to this place? Where has everyone gone?" The Doctor asked whilst Gwen steered the hulking van down the roads of London. "And why are the Autons, the Sontarans, the Rutans and the Cybermen all fighting here? Is this a turf war or something? Did one of them insult the other at a party?"<br><br>"You don't know?" Gwen asked, her voice sharp as she glanced at the Doctor. "You're here in London and you don't know whats happening?"<br><br>"Not a clue. I've got a couple of ideas, but I don't think any of them are right," the Doctor said softly, tilting his head to one side as he watched Gwen. "What happened here Gwen? Why are you and the girl in the back the only people that remain here? Did the aliens kill everyone else?"<br><br>"Ha!" Gwen laughed bitterly and shook her head. "They didn't have time to kill everyone Doctor, they're far too busy dealing with everyone else. We're nothing to them."<br><br>"What is that supposed to mean?" The Doctor asked. Gwen didn't reply, instead she nodded to the road ahead, his expression grim as the road opened to reveal Westminster bridge. <br><br>What they saw next was beyond anything they had seen so far. The world before their eyes was in chaos. An almighty battle was being fought on its surface, in the waters below and in the sky's above. Countless alien life forms battle savagely on the open ground, their weapons tearing into each other as they fought wildly for an unknown cause.<br><br>Scaly green humanoids were firing megaphone shaped weapons at bloated members of the Slitheen. Cybermen sent red blasts of laser flying across the water at the Sontarans that took cover on the other side. Large floating eyeballs in crystal halos fired shots of power at the Rutans that floated towards them. Hulking figures in black armor with heads that resembled those of a rhino fired at small groups of Daleks that floated down from the sky and showered them with blasts from their death rays. These were just some of the battles taking place in the chaotic scene.<br><br>"This is wrong," the Doctor breathed as he watched the scene unfold before him. "This is so wrong. Look at them, they're like animals. Sontarans, Rutans, Zygons, Atraxi, Sycorax, Judoon, Silurian, Slitheen, Autons...uncountable lifeforms all at each others throats. Since when did the biggest and baddest monsters in the universe decide they wanted to fight on earth?"<br><br>"Ever since the Advert started playing," Gwen spoke before pointing to a spot in the sky. On the horizon loomed a large black zeppelin balloon that slowly made its way through the chaos. On the side of it huge a huge plasma screen that seemed to be broadcasting an image of a pair of lips.

				Robin didn't - couldn't - reply to the girl. For a moment, she simply stared, wondering what in the world she meant by that quiet statement. With a sigh, Robin patted her arm gently before making her way back to the front of the van and sitting beside the Doctor. Listening intently, the blonde grew confused at Gwen's words, but suddenly gasped at the scene that appeared before them.<br><br>Numerous species were fighting amongst each other, firing weapons and shouting myriad battle cries into the air. Buildings, signs, and sidewalk were all sustaining battle scars from the fray, being scorched black by lasers or blown to bits by rockets. It was chaos, here and there punctured by the raspy "<strong>EXTERMINATE</strong>" from the Daleks or the electronic "<strong>DELETE</strong>" from the Cybermen. <br><br>Her hand began working at her locket again as she watched the battle unfold and listened to what Gwen and the Doctor were saying. Then, Gwen pointed, and Robin followed her gaze up to the blimp. A shock of revulsion traveled down her spine as she gazed at the moving lips.<br><br>"What... what does it say?" she asked, her voice a whisper.

				Gwen turned a dial on the van radio and turned up the volume. The speakers crackled and hissed as it tried to find a signal, but eventually a voice began to be heard through the static.<br><br><em>"Greetings to you fabled travelers, this is the Silence, welcome to Earth,"</em> the voice of a woman spoke politely. Her voice was warm and pleasant, but yet there seemed to be a dangerous edge to her words. <em>"You are hearing this because you have followed the psychic message that is being transmitted throughout time and space telling you of the Earths current condition. The Silence wishes to thank you for your interest and would like to inform you that the rumors are true. The human race are no longer the inhabitants of Earth"</em><br><br>"Who is this?" The Doctor asked. "According to Robin's notes the Silence have gotten rid of Madam Kovarian, so who's the new girl?"<br><br>"We don't know," the girl in the back replied grimly. "The voice doesn't match any record kept on Earth. We even tried matching it against both UNIT and Torchwoods old vocal records and nothing came up. Whoever she is its a well kept secret."<br><br><em>"The Silence have no wish to stay on Earth, for we consider this planet and its species to be an obstruction to our cause. So, in order to make sure that this planet is put to better uses, we shall be offering it to the race who desires it most,"</em> The voice continued, her pleasantness never ceasing despite the implication of her words. <em>"Of course, we do not wish for an all out interstellar war. Instead we propose a much more formal matter, an elimination match if you will. Each race that competes in our contest will fight for one week against the other contenders. At the end of each day a tally shall be taken of how many kills, who has dealt them and who has been destroyed."</em><br><br><em>"Naturally, there are some rules that must be followed. To begin with, each race may submit no more than a thousand members to enter the competition. Secondly, each thousand must be divided into teams of five. Thirdly, all teams must make a pact with the Silence, an honor bound agreement that shows that you will uphold these rules, for if they are not followed then our psychic beacon will turn hostile and reduce your brains to paste."</em><br><br><em>"Please note that the Earth is also surrounded with an impenetrable force field that has been modified to only let in small groups of contestants one at a time. Any attempt at destroying the earth with some form of doomsday weapon or cosmic disaster shall result in failure. Do not even try, for this shield is on par with the security system that guards the Dalek Asylum. Any attempt at assault upon it will result in you being eliminated from the competition and then eliminated personally by the Silence."</em><br><br><em>"The winner of this bold contest will receive ownership of the Earth as well as the rights to the psychic beacon and the forcefield technology. The Earth will then be yours to do as you please. Good luck and have a pleasant day!"</em> There was silence as the Doctor absorbed what he had just heard. He leaned back in his seat and stared at the radio before looking towards the zeppelin.<br><br>"So those balloons transmit the message every minute?" The Doctor asked before scratching his chin. "A giant advertisement to participate in the biggest bloodiest death match that the world has ever seen. Its Hunger Games meets Alien vs Predator on a universal scale and everyones taking part," the Doctor spoke gravely before scowling at the zeppelin. "Whats their angle? Why are they so keen to wipe out the Earth and then give it up? I thought I was their greatest threat."<br><br>"We were hoping you would have an answer," Gwen growled as she turned the van away from the scene and began driving over the bridge towards the Big Ben Clock Tower. Surprising, no one seemed to notice the huge black truck that was barreling through the chaotic scene. More than likely it was due to the jammer that Gwen had instructed the girl to raise.<br><br>"You did say something like this was coming after all," Gwen spoke as she swerved to avoid one of the scaly humanoids that was currently tussling with one of the Autons. "That's why you prepared us. That's why you made Jack go back in time with his Vortex Manipulator. That's why you made us keep Donna Noble in a safe location to stop her from burning up when it all happened. That's why you told us to drive around looking for you for the last week. So come on? Whats the plan?"<br><br>The Doctor couldn't have looked more bewildered if K-9 suddenly revealed that he was the prophet of a new religion. He gawked at Gwen as if she had just sprouted sunflowers from her ears. His mouth hung open a little as confusion set in to his caramel eyes. The Doctor stammered before asking, "I'm sorry but...what?"<br><br>The van came screeching to a halt. Gwen was now staring at the Doctor with equal bewilderment, this quickly turned to anger, "Oh you are not serious..."

				Robin listened with mounting anxiety to the words of the woman. It was so strange... her tone was as pleasant as could be, but that only served to intensify the undertone of menace. The Silence were giving up the Earth to the most prodigious warriors... Like some sort of prize at a tournament. Robin found herself pulling anxiously at her locket as the woman went on.<br><br>Her eyes widened as she heard the woman speak of a force field around the Earth. They had really done their research... It all seemed so strange. If that Silent, whatever it was, had bowed to her... Why? If they were planning on destroying the Earth, why bring a Silent on board the TARDIS and not kill the man who was the greatest threat to all these aliens... And why have it show Robin such courtesy?<br><br>Slowly, she brought her hands to her temples, massaging a little. This was all too much for her. And the beeping... It was getting louder again. Almost like some sort of countdown, it had resumed its regular beat. Shaking her head, she listened as the radio fell silent and Gwen and the Doctor began to speak. Eyes widening, her gaze landed on the Doctor.<br><br>"Um..." she spoke up for the first time. "Did you take some sort of side trip without me knowing it?" How could he have possibly told them this all was coming? Another of the Doctor's memories floated to her mind... Though again, it was one of his previous faces. <br><br>"Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey..." she whispered under her breath, closing her eyes.

				"I can't have taken a trip without you knowing, otherwise I would remember it. The only possibilities are that I have yet to do it or... I've forgotten," the Doctor said, shuffling back a bit in his seat. Gwen's stare had become twice as angry as before. "Look, I can't blame you for being angry, but you have to understand that before I met Robin most of my past was a giant blur. Maybe I'll remember telling you all of this and my brilliant plan will come together, but for now we'll just need to roll with the punches....preferably not literally"<br><br>"What do you remember?" The girl asked as she scooted into one of the free seats. "What was our last memory?"<br><br>"What, before JB, Tosh and Robin?" The Doctor asked before scratching his head and closing his eyes. He placed his fingers to his forehead and bean to rub the sides of it slowly, as if trying to course the memory out of hiding. "I remember...waking up in the TARDIS with my clothes on fire. The TARDIS was in flight, but my brain was all fuzzy, I couldn't figure out how to pilot it and find out where I had just come from. It took me a week to remember who I was and how to get the old girl to land."<br><br>"So the Earth has gone to hell, we have no idea whats going on and you have amnesia?" Gwen asked with an angry huff before pushing down on the gas, causing the van to roar back to life and continue its journey. "Brilliant...just bloody brilliant!"<br><br>The Doctor didn't respond to Gwen's anger. He simply watched the angry woman drive the van towards Big Ben, swerving in and out of the war zone to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Something in her eyes seemed to burn with a hateful flame as they made their journey, something more than just anger. Something much more potent. Despair.<br><br>"How you holding up back there Robin?" The Doctor asked, "Has the beeping started again? I'm imagining that something as ridiculous as this situation is bound to have started it up again"

				Robin began to scowl as Gwen berated the Doctor. It wasn't as if everything was his fault... He was doing his best to help, even though he had completely jumbled memories and could easily have escaped in his disappearing time machine. An irrational anger flared in the blonde's chest the more they spoke, and finally she could no longer keep her mouth shut.<br><br>"Hey," she said to Gwen, momentarily ignoring the Doctor's question. "Listen. We're doing our best to help. You can't fault the Doctor for not knowing something he hasn't done yet, or something he forgot because he <em>died</em> temporarily, in some sort of horrible accident most likely. In my opinion, everything would go much more smoothly if you just tell us everything you know and stop being so damn hateful. Also, punch the Doctor again and you'll have me to deal with. You can ask him, that's not something you want to do. I pushed the entire consciousness of a plasmic being out of my head."<br><br>After giving the beautiful woman a level stare, Robin turned to the Doctor, trying her best to smile. <br><br>"It's fine. I'm fine. Really."

				Gwen didn't respond to Robin's anger. Instead she continued to stare at her with the same steely expression before turning her attention back to the road. <br><br>As she turned the van towards Big Ben the young girl clambered into the back of the van and began to rapidly type on one of the computers. After a few seconds of driving slowly by the tower and tapping at the keyboard, a passageway opened in the side of the great clock tower, revealing a downward spiraling ramp, big enough to let the van through.<br><br>"You're not fine Robin," the Doctor spoke with a shake of his head. "You still have the beeping in your head. When we finally stop I'm going to take another look inside your head to see if its changed since we encountered that hole in reality. Hopefully time will have made it easier to interpret." <br><br>The Doctor paused and looked out the window, a smile grew across his face as he watched them descend into the tunnel. <br><br>"Can I just say...Wow!" the Doctor said with a grin. "A secret base in Big Ben! That makes Canary Wharf, Roald Dahl Plass, the Tower of London and now Big Ben. Will you Brits ever stop finding places to renovate into secret bases?"<br><br>"I'm Welsh," Gwen muttered.<br><br>"You're also very angry at me," the Doctor replied before shuffled to a seat next to Robin. "And that bothers me. Do you know why that is Robin?" the Doctor asked before gesturing to Gwen. "Its not just because I want Gwen to like me because my naughty friend Jack has told me tons of great things about her, its also because I don't like how rattled she is."<br><br>"Gwen here is a topnotch protector of the human race. She's seen monsters and aliens of all different types and sent them packing whenever they've stirred up trouble. She's gone against Daleks, mad men, conspiracies, corrupt governments, killer fairies and even the son of the devil himself and she's survived it all. She's really quite incredible," the Doctor said with no small amount of admiration in his voice, but then his tone turned hard as he leaned forwards and propped his head on the palms of his hands.<br><br>"And right now, she's angry and she's angry because she is very <strong>very</strong> scared," the Doctor spoke as he gazed at the back of Gwen's head. "I don't like it. I don't want Gwen Cooper to be that scared. It makes me feel angry. Angry that I can't do more to help, but unfortunately that's because I'm still trying to wrap my head around one question that's been bugging me since we stepped on the van."<br><br>The Doctor turned to look back at the girl on the computer and then back to Gwen. "Why are you two the only humans we've seen so far? The Silence said the human race no longer inhabited the Earth, so why are you two here, running about and obeying my strange instructions?"<br><br>The Doctor turned back to Gwen, his stare hard as he tilted his head to look her in the eye. "Whats happened Gwen? What became of all the other humans?"<br><br>Gwen turned to meet the Doctors gaze. Cold fire burned in her eyes as she looked deep into his own soft yellow eyes. Her voice was hard as she answered; "You're about to find out Doctor. And if you can't help us. I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to shoot you."<br><br>"I get the feeling that I would deserve it," the Doctor replied softly before turning towards Robin. "I have a feeling that what we are about to see is going to be a lot to take in. And its also going to be hard to accept. If you want, you can wait in the van when we stop."

				Robin met Gwen's gaze, but dropped her eyes once the other girl turned away. Something seemed off about all this. Even further <em>off</em> than the fact that there were multiple species of aliens fighting for possession of the Earth. Robin didn't know if anyone else was feeling it, but to her, it felt as if something very bad was going to happen. Very soon.<br><br>When the Doctor said that he was going to peek around in her head again, she sighed. She wished that for once her head could just be normal, rather than something to distract the Doctor from what was more important. Her thoughts calmed a bit, though, as she gazed with wonder at the doors opening at the bottom of Big Ben. A small, incredulous laugh escaped her. Big Ben had been one of the things she'd most wanted to see, back before the Doctor entered her life. And here she was, going into the bottom of it.<br><br>But as her companion continued talking, her mind returned to the present and her smile dropped off her face. From the way Gwen was speaking, it sounded as if the humans had encountered something horrible. Normally it would have made her mad to hear someone threatening to shoot the Doctor, but at this moment... It didn't matter. Turning to look at the Doctor, she could feel the fear in her eyes, but she shook her head all the same.<br><br>"Never," she said simply, taking his hand.

				"That a girl," the Doctor replied, a slow smile breaking out across his face. "I promise that when I look inside your head we will get some answers. For whatever reason, your brain guided us to that hole in reality and then adjusted once we had acknowledged it. Its very likely that the layers that are distorting it will ease off and we'll get closer to the reason why its in your head in the first place."<br><br>"In the meantime, lets be positive and remember that we're in a secret base under the most famous clock in England!" The Doctor said before grinning as broadly as the devil himself.<br><br>The van came out into a wide open area that was dark, empty and seemed to resemble the inside of a bomb shelter. The walls were made from reinforced stone and the ground was rough tarmac. On one side of the vast space lay a huge steel door that was so big and bulky it almost looked as if it could survive impact from a warhead. As the van approached the door two cameras sprouted from either side of it and glanced over the machine before the door slowly opened.<br><br>Four figures walked out to meet the van as it drew nearer to the door. As they got closer the Doctor's eyes widened and his smile suddenly became even brighter. By the time the van had stopped the Doctor had already jumped out of one of its windows and raced to meet the approaching figures.<br><br>In her entire life Robin would have never seen such an odd band of faces. On the far left of the quartet was one of the scaly green humanoids that had been sighted on the bridge. It appeared to be female and was dressed in fine blue and white garments that seemed an odd mix between the clothes of a samurai warrior and those of a monk. A katana sword was strapped to her back, held within a golden sheaf that matched the design of her clothes. This seemed to be something that she took comfort in, for one of her hands stroked the end of her sword fondly as if reassuring herself that she could still draw it and kill everything that stood in her way.&nbsp; <br><br>Next to her was a young slim girl with dark hair curled into a bun. She was dressed in a formal white button shirt and blue waistcoat that oddly matched the clothes of the scaly woman. She too carried a sword, but unlike the lizard woman she paid it barely any attention, for most of it was focused on the young boy that walked next to her.<br><br>The boy looked as if he had been pulled straight out of Oliver Twist. He was dressed in old fashioned Victorian clothes, which were baggy and a little tattered. His dark messy hair was kept back by a neat leather cap that hung lopsided on his little head.<br><br>The final member however was the strangest of the lot, for he was a Sontaran. However, unlike the ones Robin had seen, this Sontaran was not wearing the dome helmet that the others wore. This enabled the creature to show off his bulbous leathery head, which had a squashed nose and very large ears. His face was set in a scowl that would have probably looked menacing on anyone else, but unfortunately when the psychotic little warrior wore it, he just looked like he was trying really hard to stay awake.<br><br>"Madame Vastra! Jenny! Strax! Some kid! Now this is a surprise!" The Doctor cheered as he approached them. However, his cheerfulness was cut short as the lizard woman stepped forwards and punched the Doctor across the face.<br><br>"Ow!" The Doctor yelped and clutched the side of his face. "Why do women keep punching me today?!"

				The Doctor's smile was infectious, that was for sure. Robin soon found herself grinning along with him, but she froze when he hopped out of the van. The interior of the vehicle was a little uncomfortable with just the three young women in it, so Robin glanced around before hopping out as well. As she ran to catch up with the Doctor, she planned to mutter something about how he always just ran off without her.<br><br>Then, however, she froze.<br><br>Two members of the party approaching belonged to the species fighting outside. A lizardlike woman Robin took to be a Silurian, and a strange, potato-headed alien who was a Sontaran. At first, fear filled her, because she had only just escaped being shot at by these two species... But then the Doctor started calling them by name, and Robin realized they had two humans with them. Only slightly relaxing, she walked forward again to join the Doctor. <br><br>When the one Robin assumed was Madame Vastra punched the Time Lord in the face, though, Robin let out a yelp. Scurrying forward, she grabbed the Doctor's arm and looked accusingly at the lizard-woman.<br><br>"Hey!" she said, voice indignant. "If you all keep punching him like this, all you'll succeed in doing is knocking him out, and then he really won't be any help at all!" Looking at the other members of the odd group, she added, "I'm Robin, by the way."

				"A pleasure to meet you my dear," Madame Vastra responded, although her gaze was mostly focused on the Doctor. She wasn't angry like Gwen, but she did seem to be thoroughly unimpressed. "I apologise for the brutality. I am just perplexed as to why my friend the Doctor decided to abduct me, my wife and our son Harry from our home in Victorian London and fly us to the future before dumping us in the middle of a war zone with barely any explanation!"<br><br>"Oh I hate time travel sometimes," The Doctor groaned, rubbing the side of his face. "Look, if I gave you instructions, if I promised you that I would give you answers and make sense of this whole bizarre next time I showed up. Please disregard that information for now."<br><br>"Mam can I punch him now?" Jenny asked politely, her eyes narrowing on the Doctor.<br><br>"There will be no more punching of the Doctor!" The Doctor yelled out, waving his arms dismissively. "Can we please get over how irritating I can be when I'm cryptic and focus on the here and now. Because if we can then I would like to congratulate the two of you on adopting a son and introduce you to my incredible friend Robin Baker!"<br><br>The women were quiet for a moment as they considered the proposal. It seemed likely that they would just punch him again, but eventually, a smile spread slowly across Vastra's lips and the three of them began chuckling whilst the young boy stared at them with a bewildered expression on his face.<br><br>"It is good to see you my friend," Vastra spoke, nodding towards the Doctor and then to Robin. "These are difficult times, but its good to see you. We did worry that you might have been killed in the war zone."<br><br>"What? Me? Get killed?" The Doctor laughed, grinning smugly at the woman. "I'm not the type of bloke who dies from getting killed," he said before turning to Robin and gesturing to the group. "Robin Baker this is Madame Vastra. She's a Silurian, they're lizard people that live below the Earth's crust. The charming girl next to her is Jenny, her wife, and the little boy who now seems to be hiding behind Madame Vastra's dress is...."<br><br>"Harry," chirped Jenny as she tugged the child out from behind Madame Vastra. "His name is Harry. We got him out of trouble before the incident with the Great Intelligence. Him and a mate of his got into a spot of bother when their snowman started to bleed."<br><br>"I have made it my duty to train the boy in nineteen different forms of lethal combat!" The Sontaran roared as he barged past Jenny and slapped a large three fingered hand on the boys shoulder, causing him to wince from the impact of his pudgy digits. "Soon he will be able to kill a man twice his size, armed with only a tea spoon and a rubber band!" The Sontaran said proudly before banging his fist against his chest. "I am at your command Doctor! Point me towards our enemy and they shall be annihilated along with every other living thing on this planet!"<br><br>"Always a pleasure talking to you Strax," the Doctor sighed, pressing his hand to his forehead. "Robin this is Strax. Try not to get him too excited."

				Robin's expression was thoroughly bewildered during the exchange. One moment, Vastra was punching the Doctor, and the next... They were all laughing? With a glance at Harry, Robin felt a little relieved that she wasn't the only one having trouble following the current conversation. Still, though, she smiled as introductions were made. The fact that the Silurian and the human Jenny were married was a bit of a shock, but she simply shrugged.<br><br>When Strax spoke, Robin giggled a little. For one who seemed to be from a species that was such a huge threat, he was awfully funny looking. Especially dressed in his current attire. When he looked at her, however, she stifled the smile a bit. Looking around at the mismatched group, she nodded to each in turn.<br><br>"It's really nice to meet all of you," she said, offering her hand to anyone who wanted to shake. "I always like meeting friends of the Doctor's."

				"So is this it or is everyone that gets invited to my birthday parties waiting for me on the other side of the door?" The Doctor asked and began bending around the group to see into the chamber that lay beyond the door. "Have you got Mickey Smith in there? That would be just great if you had Mickey in there. I haven't made fun of a Smith in ages!"<br><br>"We only have the one Smith I'm afraid and her name is not Mickey Smith," Vastra replied with a shake of her head. The Doctor's face seemed to light up even more at the words.<br><br>"Sarah? You've got Sarah Jane Smith with you? Brilliant! I haven't seen Sarah in ages!" He exclaimed before suddenly letting out a yelp as Strax pushed him violently to one side.<br><br>"Look out sir! The robots have infiltrated our base and are launching their attack!" Strax yelled whilst pulling out a baton from the butler suit which he was wearing over his bulky small body. The baton sparked as he thrust at the air before him. The women seemed to sigh in frustration at the display and shake their heads in disapproval.<br><br>"Strax, for the tenth time. That is not one of the enemy robots. That is K-9," Madame Vastra sighed as she gestured to the robotic blue dog that drove across the stone floor towards them, wagging its radar ears happily.<br><br>"I don't trust it," Strax sneered as the metal dog as came closer. "Its heavily armed and very short. Tactically speaking we shouldn't trust anything short and heavily armed. We never know what trouble they could cause!"<br><br>"Don't be a hypocrite Strax," the voice of the young girl from the van grumbled as she walked out of the shadows and made her way through the open doorway. "If I see you talk to my dog that way again I'll bake like the potato you resemble," she growled before waving to K-9. "Come on boy! Follow me! There's a good dog!"<br><br>The Doctor stared after the girl with a look of befuddlement on his face. Slowly realisation dawned on him and he gawked at the girl before pointing after her and yelling; "Sky Smith! That's Sky Smith! Sarah Jane's adopted daughter!"<br><br>"She is and she's a godsend," Gwen Cooper spoke as she arrived on the scene and marched past the Doctor. "Without her we wouldn't have been able to find you, let alone keep this place running," she explained before gesturing for the group to follow her inside. "Come on, enough talking. We have a job to do."<br><br>"That's Sky Smith!" The Doctor repeated before turning to Robin, grinning with delight. "Robin! That girl is Sky Smith! You have no idea who she is! But that is Sky Smith! Daughter of Sarah Jane Smith! And you have no idea who that is either!"

				Robin again stood there with a puzzled expression as everyone began talking. With a sigh, she rolled her eyes and wondered if she would ever get used to all the cryptic, nonsensical speech that came with traveling through space and time. The Doctor, at this point, just seemed to be throwing out names like he knew everyone in the universe. <br><br>Another giggle escaped her as Strax threatened K-9. Being around a "friendly" Sontaran was proving to be quite interesting. Obviously, an entire species cloned for war would probably find it hard to ever view anything as less than a threat. The smile faded, though, when Gwen emerged from the van. Robin knew that she'd have to get over her feelings for the dark-haired girl soon, but for now she was still allowed to feel a certain irritation toward her.<br><br>Still, though, she started to follow when Gwen marched off. Looking at the alleged Sky Smith, Robin smiled, but the look grew quizzical when she turned it back to the Doctor.<br><br>"Who's Sarah Jane Smith?"

				"She's an old companion of mine, we go way back. Back to the days when my hair was grey and curly and I threw people over my shoulder," the Doctor said before miming a karate kick. "She's a very strong and independent woman. Not to mention clever," he said as they made their way through the newly opened door. <br><br>Beyond the door was a vast room with stone walls supported by great iron beams. Computer screens covered an entire side of the brick work and wires ran across the floor in cross-crossed patterns. On the far left of the room were several metal doors, each secured with huge metal locks, more than likely some form of holding cells, and on the opposite side lay a medical bay with an operating table and sterilized containers full of medical supplies. In the centre of the room was a large round table with a huge glass slab balanced on its surface. Holographic projectors were shining rapidly changing images of the scenes outside of the Big Ben tower onto its clear glass surface, giving everyone a clear view of the chaos of the war zone.<br><br>"Well, this is nice. I was expecting cogs and wheels," the Doctor said whilst the group scattered around the room. He gazed over the scene with an degree of admiration. "Its a bit of a shame that Sarah isn't part of this whole rag tag band of resistance fighters. It would be brilliant to see her again."<br><br>The room became uncomfortably quiet as the Doctor finished speaking. Madame Vastra and Jenny seemed to squirm uncomfortably on the spot whilst Gwen's glare seemed to intensify on the Doctor. Sky Smith had looked at the Doctor was a hard stony expression on her young face before she crossed over to the computer screens and began to type at the keyboards. The only people who didn't seem stunned into silence was Strax, who seemed preoccupied with telling Harry which type of guns could be used to fry the brains of their enemies.<br><br>"What?" The Doctor asked as he looked around at them uncomprehendingly. "What's wrong?" He asked, alarm washing over his face. "Don't tell me that Sarah's comprised? Don't tell me the Silence got to her too?"<br><br>"Sarah isn't compromised," Gwen spoke. Madame Vastra seemed to cast her a look of warning before Gwen spoke again. "But you need to see a few things. Starting with whats happened to all the other humans."<br><br>"But before that, he needs to tell us what that message he gave us means!" Jenny chirped before stepping towards the Doctor. "Doctor, before you took me, Harry and Madame Vastra to this time, you gave us a message. You told us to say it to you next time we met you."<br><br>"Fantastic! More clues!" The Doctor said with a sigh before smiling grimly at Jenny. "I probably won't be able to understand why I gave you the message and it will probably shed no light on the situation what so ever, but lets hear it anyway. Come on Jenny, lay it on me, what did I say?"<br><br>For a moment Jenny looked uncomfortable as she considered what she was about to say. Her dark eyes seemed to regard the Doctor with reluctance, as if she were recalling a bad memory, before she eventually spoke. "You said...beware the child of time."

				Robin nodded, thinking that later she'd like to spend some time hearing about his old companions. Though she'd seen their images projected on the walls of the TARDIS, she hadn't heard much about any of them other than little snippets of information from time to time. Maybe one day she and the Doctor would be able to slow down enough for him to tell her some of their stories. If they got out of this alive... And if he could remember them.<br><br>She hoped that he would remember her after she'd gone.<br><br>A strange sense of melancholy seized the blonde for a moment at that thought. It was as if there was something huge coming... Something huge and disastrous. Fighting to keep a normal expression on her face, Robin listened again to the conversation. It piqued her interest when the Doctor's friends started acting a little flighty... Like there was something they didn't want to tell him.<br><br>The nervousness was infectious. Robin found it difficult to stand still when everyone started fidgeting, not meeting each others' eyes. What could be so horrible that even this ragtag group of soldiers were uncomfortable saying? Maybe she didn't even <em>want</em> to know. Maybe there were some things that were better left unsaid. But then, Jenny spoke that phrase again. That strange phase that had surfaced in so many places, in so many times.<br><br>"Again," Robin whispered. "There it is again. What does it mean, Doctor?" Her heart was pounding in her chest as she looked at the Time Lord accusingly. "What does it mean? Why does it keep following us like this?"

				"I'm not sure..." The Doctor spoke whilst scratching his chin as he mulled over the message. "One possibility is that the reason why its following us around is because the Child of Time has something to do with my missing memories and someone is trying to get me to remember why its so important by leaving the message with my friends and the people I encounter."<br><br>"So what are you suggesting Doctor?" Madame Vastra asked. "Do you mean to say that you might have known that you were going to loose your memory?"<br><br>"Its possible. I've lost it before. Perhaps this time I came up with a way to stop it from happening again by giving you that message to pass on," the Doctor said before shrugging. "Is there anything else you can tell me about what happened when I said that to you."<br><br>Jenny and Vastra looked at each other and seemed to have a silent discussion with their eyes. Eventually Vastra seemed to approve of whatever Jenny was asking of her and gestured to the Doctor's clothes as she delivered the final piece of information. <br><br>"You were wearing black," She said with a curt nod.<br><br>"Black?" The Doctor asked with disbelief. "I was wearing black? That is the <strong>only</strong> bit of information that seems important enough to share besides some weird warning about a Time Toddler?"<br><br>"It was a very black outfit. Maybe it means something," Jenny suggested before blushing and looking sheepishly at the ground.<br><br>"Thank you Jenny but I very much doubt that there is some secret meaning to my fashion sense. I'm not that vain," the Doctor said before huffing angrily. "Now its clear that you're all in dire need of someone to ask a proper question. So let me ask one."<br><br>The Doctor turned to the right of the room and pointed at Strax accusingly before asking, "Why is an armed Sontaran standing as far away from the prison cells on the opposite side of the room?" <br><br>The Doctor wait for an answer, instead he marched towards the now bewildered Sontaran and began circling him and poor Harry while he continued his line of questioning. "Strax is a tough nut and the jail cells on the opposite side of the room appear to be all in use. So why isn't Strax being put on guard duty?"<br><br>"Well, the answer is simple. You're afraid that in a fit of stupidity, Strax will somehow blow up the people inside the cells, and that's bad, because whoever lurks inside those cells is worth protecting," the Doctor spoke before racing over to cells and before anyone could stop him, unlocked one of the doors with his sonic screwdriver. "How about we have a look behind door number one and find out?"<br><br>The door swung open...and the Doctor's face fell.<br><br>"Oh...now that's interesting," the Doctor said in a low voice as he looked upon the contents of the wide cell. "I really wish I didn't find that interesting," he breathed before stepping inside to view the horrible scene before him.<br><br>Inside the cell, were several beds, each occupied by various humans of different ages and genders. In one bed lay a plump man with light brown hair, in another lay an old man with a bristly white beard, in one lay a pretty young black woman with hair tied back in a bun and in another lay the body of a young boy with dark brown hair.<br><br>Each and every one of them was staring at the ceiling with their eyes rolled back in their sockets. Their breathing was quiet and their skin was pasty, as if they hadn't been fed in a while. <br><br>"Luke Smith," the Doctor spoke as he looked over the young boy before moving on to another bed. "Wilfred, Martha Jones, Rhys Williams...oh Gwen I'm so sorry..." the Doctor said as he turned back to the room and sought out Gwen. She was stood a metre away from the cell with her arms folded across her chest. "...I'm so sorry Gwen. I promise I'll do anything I can."<br><br>"You better do," Gwen spoke before nodding to something that lay by Rhys' side. "Not just for my sake or his, but for hers."<br><br>The Doctor turned and his face fell even more. Laying in a cot next to Rhys was a small child, a beautiful baby girl that should have been kicking and screaming instead of gawking at the ceiling with sunken lifeless eyes.

				It seemed to Robin that the feeling of the day, at least in her case, was confusion. The entire exchange was jumpy and made absolutely no sense. The Doctor thought that someone was leaving him messages, through time and space, to get him to remember something important. But if it was so important... Why hadn't they figured it out yet? <br><br>Any time Robin had unlocked some memory in the Doctor's head, it had taken only a word or a sentence. A rose... 'Fezzes are cool...' It had never taken something so convoluted and cryptic as this before. That, in itself, made Robin very nervous. What could it possibly mean? In her musings, she almost missed the Doctor changing the subject. <br><br>It was a good point, though. If these people had prisoners of some sort, why was the war-hungry alien not guarding them? It certainly seemed like an activity Strax would enjoy. As the Doctor walked toward the doors, Robin felt a plummeting feeling. She could only imagine that one thing would be important enough to keep hold of without wanting it to get destroyed...<br><br>Slowly, she walked after her friend, dreading what she knew she was going to see. When she reached the door, though, she still gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. All the humans - for they were clearly humans - were nearly lifeless, blank eyes unseeing, chests barely lifting in breath. A tear dripped down her cheek as she gazed at the people in the room. One of them was a face she'd seen on the wall of the TARDIS.<br><br>"Doctor," she said, unable to speak above a whisper. "What's wrong with them?"

				"They've slowed down" The Doctor spoke whilst scanning his sonic screwdriver over each of them, making sure to thoroughly examine his findings. "Their brains are functioning, but only at a very small percentage. It's just enough to keep them alive but not enough to get them on their feet."<br><br>"We have Mickey Smith, Heather McCrimmon, Wolfgang and many others just like them in our other cells," Gwen explained whilst leaning on the cell door, her gaze fixed on her husband and child. "They've been like this since Boxing Day, along with every other human on Earth"<br><br>"So this is what the Silence meant. The human race no longer controls Earth because they can't defend it," The Doctor said before walking over to Martha's side and frowning deeply. "What caused this? Is it the psychic beacon?"<br><br>"No. Using Sky's computer skills we managed to get a thorough look at the coordinates of the beacon and its purpose. It turns out that its coming from several orbiting satellites and all they're doing is showing aliens how to get to Earth and explain the rules of the competition"<br><br>"That's odd," the Doctor said. "This is almost full cranial shut down, if they didn't use the beacon what did they use and why didn't it affect you?"<br><br>The Doctor paused for a moment and scratched his chin with the end of his screwdriver as he mulled over the problem. Eventually he clicked his fingers and pointed to Robin, "Miss Baker your talents are needed. I need you to scan Martha's brain."

				Robin continued looking on with horror. Somehow these aliens had caused the humans to go into this barely-alive state, like a coma only somehow much worse. And poor Gwen... Robin knew who the man and child must be, and her anger toward the woman dissipated instantly. <br><br>It was hard for her to watch, these unchanging people who had recently been walking and talking and laughing... Having dinner with their families and kissing their children... It made Robin sick to her stomach to see how easily some creatures from some far off planet could just put humans to sleep. <br><br>When the Doctor asked her to scan Martha's brain, Robin looked sharply at him. It seemed that <em>he</em> would be the best person for that particular job... But Robin shrugged and walked toward the unconscious woman. Placing a hand softly on the side of her face, she closed her eyes and listened. <br><br>For a moment, she heard nothing. But then, faintly, she heard music. The tune was familiar, but the words weren't audible yet. When she finally heard them, her eyes opened and she stepped back. Her green eyes filled with confusion as she looked at the Doctor.<br><br>"It doesn't make any sense... She's singing 'God Save the Queen.'"

				The Doctor's face changed from Robin's response. He stepped back from the bodies and placed his hands on the back of his head whilst he stared at the bodies in front of him.<br><br>"Doctor, they have been like this for days," Gen spoke softly, her voice loosing its edge as the worry she was suppressing finally began to take a hold of her. "We've managed to keep them fed and hydrated, but what will happen to everyone else in the world?<br><br>"Their current brain activity has slowed down their bodily functions, allowing them to survive with minimal water, food and air," the Doctor replied, his tone hard as he spoke. "But this won't last. Eventually, they will die from malnourishment and dehydration. They will slowly wither away and decay. And it will happen so unbelievably slowly that they'll feel every second of their death." <br><br>The Doctor let the sentence hang in the air for a moment before he suddenly turned on his heel and marched up to Gwen, looking her dead in the eye before saying, "But, do you know what Gwen? I'm not going to let that happen, and do you know why?" He asked before brushing past her. "Because I'm too brilliant to let that happen!"<br><br>The Doctor walked into the middle of the control room and began to slowly circle the table in the centre of the room. His eyes were wildly looking left and right at the members of the resistance, taking in their every detail as he marched about the room with a determined look upon his roughly shaved face.<br><br>"In the past or future I came to each of you individually in order to give you instructions or messages," the Doctor began to explain as he walked around the room. "At the time you believed that this was preparation for an event that was coming in the future but I'm starting to think that it was only half of the reason. I think that whatever version of me visited you intended on leaving you as clues to explain why this was happening. Clues, like being saved by Gawen Cooper and Sky Smith of all people! Clues like Madame Vastra, Jenny, Harry and Strax brought from Victorian London to the present day!"<br><br>"Each of you has told me about how I gave you messages and instructions, like sending Jack to the past with his vortex manipulator and putting Dona in a secure cell. These things don't seem to be related, but they are and once the pieces are put together its going to explain exactly why Martha Jones has got God Save the Queen of all things stuck inside her head!"<br><br>"Well guess what Me? I'm about to put the pieces together! I'm incredibly angry about the people I love and the race that means so much to me being put to sleep because some insane organisation doesn't want me to answer some stupid blooming question! So right here, right now, I'm going to use all the power of m brain to solve this mystery, save the day and be unbelievably amazing!" The Doctor roared before throwing up his hands as they made a move to speak.<br><br>"No one talk to me! I am about to be incredible and I need complete silence!" The Doctor said loudly before slapping his hands against his head and closing his eyes as he thought over the long journey that he had been a part of and the trail of clues that had been left in his wake.<br><br>No one moved. No one spoke. No one even breathed as he wrapped himself in his own thoughts and thought long and hard over the problems they faced. Minutes passed by painfully slowly, but eventually the Doctor's eyes opened and a broad grin crossed over his face.<br><br>"Oh...now that's interesting..."

				When the Doctor was thinking this hard, it seemed that the gears inside his head were visible. His expansive mind, working so hard to find the solution to the problem... Trying so hard to save the human race, time and again. And gathering his friends along the way. <em>He might be the last of the Time Lords, but he's never alone,</em> Robin thought, a smile flickering at her lips.<br><br>She looked at each member of the team in turn. There was Gwen, fierce and proud and unwilling to show the sadness that lurked just behind her eyes. There was Sky, looking afraid but trying to stay strong nonetheless. There was Madame Vastra, haughty and green, with a protective hand on her sword. Beside her was Jenny, a human who stayed with her love through it all. Between them stood Harry, so young and innocent, hardly able to understand what was happening around him. And there was Strax, a creature created for war.<br><br>They all had one thing in common. All of them were staring at the Doctor, their expressions guarded but still full of hope. Even though it seemed he had no answers, they all had enough faith in him to have that look in their eyes. It was in this moment that Robin saw who the Doctor truly was... And he was beautiful. So, so beautiful.<br><br>The entire room seemed to sigh with relief as he smiled and spoke. Robin was the first to place a hand on his arm.<br><br>"What is it, Doctor?"

				"The answers. They're all there," The Doctor replied before breathing in deep and beginning his explanation.<br><br>"I've been wondering for a while why everyone on Earth seems to have been reduced to this state yet the people in this room are unaffected. Almost every human on Earth has been reduced to this state, but for some reason the six of you are completely fine. This leads to conclude several things, number one being that whatever happened can only affect humans, my evidence being how Madame Vastra is still walking around with her brain intact and so is Strax and Sky Smith over there"<br><br>"Sky Smith isn't human Robin," The Doctor said whilst he gestured to the young girl that now sat with her back against the wall of computer screens, one arm wrapped protectively around K-9. "She's a Fleshkind, an alien species almost identical to the humans, but alien none the less. They possess amazing powers that allow them to take control of technology. I imagine thats how this band of rogues got a look at the psychic beacon"<br><br>"Now the question is, if it only affects humans, then why didn't Gwen get affected. Well in order to answer that we have to ask ourselves <em>what was everyone doing at the time in which they were affected?</em> The answer is quite simple when we consider what we heard going through Martha's head. Everyone in Britan was watching the Queens christmas message. And in that message something was added to cause this effect"<br><br>"Doctor if that is true then why do Sky and Gwen not remember that moment?" Madame Vastra asked curiously.<br><br>"Because its memory proofed," the Doctor replied. "What caused this to happen was the powers of a Silent, but not just any Silent, the Silent from the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. When I first encountered the Silence I took a clip of one of them saying <em>'You should kill us all on sight'</em> and spliced it into the footage of the Moon Landing. This caused anyone who saw it to immediately attack any Silent that they came across, driving them from the Earth. And it has everything to do with why the humans are currently brain dead."<br><br>"What on earth tells you that?" Jenny exclaimed.<br><br>"You tell me that Jenny," he answered immediately before gesturing to her, Vastra, Harry and Strax. "You four are from Victorian London, it hasn't happened to you yet and I doubt that Strax would show much interest in a puny human species. The reason why I brought you into the future wasn't just because I'm depending on your strength, the other reason was to make me link this effect to the footage of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing"<br><br>"But what has a stupid video clip of apes walking on the damn moon got to do with anything Doctor?" Strax asked rudely.<br><br>"It has everything to do with it, Strax. Because its been altered," the Doctor spoke before throwing out his arms and spinning in a wide circle as he gestured to the entire room. "Everyone on Earth has seen the footage at one point or another. Everytime they see it they are influenced to battle the Silence. However, if anyone were to alter the footage and place their own message within the Silent's message then the brains of any human who watched it would tear themselves apart as each message battled for domination, thus reducing them to this primitive state"<br><br>"So the Silents editted the footage...broadcast it during the Queens message or some other important event depending on what country it was, and this caused the humans to have their brains fried?" Sky asked from across the room.<br><br>"Close. Only one thing was wrong with that answer. The Silents didn't alter the footage, someone else did. Someone with enough knowledge of hypnotism to make the condition affect humans only. If the Silence tried it their tinkering would go unnoticed. So they must have found someone who could truly dominate a humans mind," the Doctor spoke, ceasing his twirling before pointing out towards the cell doors. "And now we're going to find out who it was and what was the message they implanted into it, because Gwen is going to show us."<br><br>Gwen seemed to freeze up as the Doctor addressed her. He crossed the room before stopping in front of her and gazing deep into her eyes.<br><br>"Gwen, you're been wearing contact lenses," the Doctor spoke softly. "Special contact lenses. Advanced technology that is able to record what the wearer sees as well as recieve text messages that can be sent via the computer they are linked to. They're special equipment used by Torchwood, and its what saved you from becoming brain dead. Those contact lenses distorted the image rendering you immune to its effects. And you recorded absolutely everything, you just forgot to check because of the Silence's influence over you."<br><br>"Tell me...who told you to put those contact lenses in?"<br><br>"Jack did" Gwen replied hesitantly, a slight blush crossing over her face. "Jack did, right before-"<br><br>"Right before I told him to go back in time and pick up River Song using the vortex manipulator I repaired," the Doctor said, his grin growing more cheeky by the minute. "His leaving was so sudden that you put them in immediately and never removed them. Its lucky you didn't, it would have rendered you useless."<br><br>The Doctor clicked his fingers at Sky before approaching the table again and placing his hands on the glass screen that stood on its surface. "Sky I need you to use your abilities to download all the information on Gwen's lenses and put it onto this screen. Once its on I want you to highlight the Queens message on Christmas day and cut to about half way"

				Robin's gaze flickered to every member of the group as the Doctor spoke of each of them in turn. It was truly incredible... How could one person come up with all of these answers based on just the tiny amount of information he had? Information that had been scattered throughout history, brought together in one special moment... It was hard to fathom. Impossible to imagine. Being so brilliant had to get exhausting sometimes.<br><br>As he pieced together this information, Robin found herself beginning to smile. This was when the Doctor truly shone... When he was talking ninety miles an hour, trying to bring everyone up to speed with what he had figured out in just a few minutes. Though she didn't know what he would be able to do with this information, just knowing made everyone feel better.<br><br>"Amazing," she whispered, barely audible. Without thinking, she placed a hand on top of Martha's, her pale skin contrasting against the other girl's darker coloring. She looked down at the beautiful, unconscious woman, hoping against hope that they would be able to save her. To save all of them. Her eyes wandered from face to face, trying to commit all of them to memory. 'God Save the Queen' started up again, playing quietly in the back of her mind. Something, though, was bothering her... A thought niggling at the back of her mind.<br><br>"But... Doctor," she spoke, pulling her hand off of Martha's and walking toward her friend. "If this all happened because of the Silence... If this is their plan, to take control of the humans and put the planet up for grabs... Why did the Silent in the TARDIS bring us here? Wouldn't it have been better to just kill us? Or make us crash in 2000 BC or something?" And another thought came with it. "And what about that message? 'Beware the Child of Time...' What does that have to do with any of this?"

				"Ladies and gentlemen the prize for good questions goes to Robin Baker!" The Doctor announced with a cheer before pointing at Robin. "Excellent question the Silence have wanted me dead for ages but yet one of the Silent creatures was on my TARDIS whilst me and Robin traveled. It didn't kill us even though it had plenty of opportunities. In fact, it did the opposite, it kept us alive by using hypnotic suggestion to get us out of trouble. It sent soldiers to our rescue when we were trapped by the Daleks and made old wizards play with computers when the Toymaker had us at his mercy."<br><br>"But who are the Silence Doctor and why do they want you dead?" Sky asked, now walking to the centre of the room to join the discussion with K-9 on her heels. "You mentioned a question? Was is it?"<br><br>"Something on a need to know basis," the Doctor answered in a cold voice. He didn't elaborate on the answer, something in his eyes had flickered at the mention of it, almost as if it had disturbed him just at the mention of it. "All you need to know is that the Silence don't want me to answer the question....or maybe I already have and they're quite bitter about it. I can't remember. What matters is that they're here now and seemed very eager to get me to this time period."<br><br>The Doctor scratched his chin as he looked at the screen on the table, that was now lighting up with images and data from Christmas Day. "It must have something to do with their new leader. More than likely that voice that we heard on the advert. She's probably the one who organised this plan and crippled the brains of the human race."<br><br>The Doctor began running his fingers across the screen, which responded to his touch immediately. He tossed images out the way and scanned through the data, until he came across the video diary of Gwen Cooper's contact lenses and a specific time in which they had been active.<br><br>"Robin, Jenny and Harry, I'm going to need the three of you to wear these," the Doctor spoke before pulling out three pairs of 3D glasses from his pocket and tossing them to each of them. "If I'm right we will all forget the message instantly, but what matters is that you three aren't paralyzed by the attack. This should help distort it and protect your minds from any funny business."

				Robin felt a surge of pride as the Doctor complimented her on her questioning skills. It was strange, but she felt a certain need to impress these strangers. They had all been a big part of the Doctor's life, or they wouldn't be here... They must have all done magnificent things for him to want them all at this most dire of times. Robin wanted to feel like she belonged... And at this moment, she felt like she did.<br><br>When her companion's eyes turned cold, she heard the echo of the 'question' they were talking about. She couldn't recall exactly what it was, but she had the feeling that she'd asked herself the question many times... And maybe even asked the Doctor himself. Tilting her head to the side, she listened, but nothing became clearer. With a sigh, she turned back to the current conversation.<br><br>With some puzzlement, the blonde accepted her pair of 3D glasses, wondering how in the world they were supposed to protect her from becoming like the others in the room... Nearly lifeless, fading quickly. Putting the glasses on, she looked at the room through the distorting lenses. They were already making her dizzy, and she shook her head. <br><br>Then, for seemingly no reason, she reached in her pocket. A frown touched her lips as her fingers brushed against paper and pen. Pulling them out, she looked at them. It was the paper upon which she'd drawn the Silent and written their conversation with it. Robin had no idea when she'd gotten it, or how, because the last person she'd seen holding it was the Doctor. A thought occurred to her then.<br><br>"Doctor," she said, showing him the writing tools. "Should I try to write it down again?"

				"Good idea Robin, let me get you and pen and pap-" the Doctor began, but then he saw that Robin was already holding it. He looked puzzled for a moment and patted himself down before shrugging. "I guess I gave it to you earlier. Go ahead, write it all down as quick as you can. We can't afford to waste time."<br><br>"Running video now Doctor," Sky spoke and gestured to the screen with her fingers. Without so much as touching the screens surface, the video began, showing a comfortable living room with a TV, the last thing Gwen saw during the Queens Christmas message. "We don't have sound Doctor, but the contact lenses have a lip reading function that should be able to translate everything that is said and place it on the screen in text format," Sky explained.<br><br>"But what if the people in the message lack mouths?" Strax asked. "Will this primitive technology still work? Perhaps we should simply track an agent of this Silence organisation and force them to reveal their nefarious plot by injecting them with venomous compounds!"<br><br>"Strax, a silent agent would eat a poisoned five course meal at a one star restaurant before revealing their plans and orders," the Doctor said with a heavy sigh and shook his head before turning back to Sky. "Alter the audio input and match it the lip reading synchronizer and all vocal data located in Torchwood and UNIT's data banks. They're bound to have something on Silents by now."<br><br>Sky's brow furrowed as she obeyed the Doctor's instructions and used her racial abilities to complete the process. After a few seconds of the screen fuzzing in and out, she stepped back and nodded her head to indicate that the job was done.<br><br>"Okay everyone, brace yourselves," the Doctor spoke before hitting play.<br><br>The video came enlarged on the screen to show more of the room. The place looked a little messy, but not dirty, the shirts that lay on the floor and the wrapping paper that was scattered around the place showed nothing but a happy home on Christmas day. As they watched on the Doctor noticed Gwen shudder on the spot as her husband appeared on the screen, grinning broadly at them while bouncing their darling child in his arms.<br><br><em>"She's a right terror Gwen. She's broken half her present's already and eaten all the sweets your mam brought her. She's going to be up all night at this rate,"</em> Rhys spoke, the subtitles following every word that left his mouth. He paused as Gwen replied to him, her response unable to be caught on camera, after a moments moment he threw back his head and laughed.<br><br>"I told him that it was Christmas, she was allowed to be a terror," Gwen spoke quietly, her voice strained as she tried her best to maintain her composure. Her eyes were filling with tears, but she did not cry. "And then I told him he'd be the one dealing with her anyway. I was planning on hitting the Sherry later on."<br><br><em>"Is that the Queen's message?"</em> Rhys spoke as he took his seat next to her. The television was now showing an elderly woman with thin wire spectacles and curly grey hair, her face set in a pleasant but typically formal manner. <em>"I heard someone say she was finally going to talk about some of the stranger stuff that keeps happening every year."</em> Rhys said to Gwen whilst bouncing their daughter on his knee, who was now giggling joyfully. <em>"I wonder what she'll talk about first? That great big bloody demon that stomped through Cardiff, the Miracle day, those huge electric eyes that were flying about or those cubes that fell from the sky?"</em><br><br><em>"Good afternoon and Merry Christmas to you all,"</em> the old woman began. <em>"This last year has been an extraordinary time for us all. Events that have been beyond our comprehension have transpired and we have found ourselves needing to rapidly adapt to the bold changes that our home planet has gone through. Many are fearful about what the future will hold and I do not fault them at all for feeling this way."</em><br><br><em>"But what you should know, is that whatever challenges await us, we are not helpless. We will never be without hope. For we have strength and very <strong>very</strong> good friends,"</em> the Queen spoke and for a moment the Doctor's smile seemed to become that little more mischievous, as is he and the Queen had just shared an inside joke.<br><br><em>"So do not worry, enjoy today. For this is a time when we must remember how fortunate we are to have such amazing people in this world, people who will do anything to protect us and stand up against evil. In fact...when I think of these heroes, I am reminded of something that was once said to me by a dear friend,"</em> the Queen spoke, a smile twitching on the corner of her mouth. <em>"They said to me-"</em><br><br>The picture on the television vanished and the Queen became replaced with a flickering image of a Silent, wounded and looking out at them with a malicious gaze in its small beady eyes.<br><br><em>"You should kill-"</em> It began, but before it could continue the picture changed to a pair of female lips that seemed to smile cruelly before they said one<br><br><div align="center"><strong><em>Beware the child of time. Meet me in the church of paradox. Save the ones that should not be saved. Fail yourself a thousand times."</em></strong></div><br>The picture changed back immediately to the white alien, allowing it to finally finish its command. <em>"-us all on sight!"</em><br><br>The image changed once more back to the Queen and the camera turned to face Rhys, just in time to see him grab his head with a pained expression.<br><br><em>"I'm fine, don't worry. Probably just tired from the Christmas rush,"</em> Rhys said, presumably after Gwen asked him if he was okay.<br><br>"Stop!" The Doctor called out and the video paused before he turned to Robin and looked down at the notepad and pen that she held, noting how the page was now full of new text. "What does it say? What did you write?"

				Robin held the pen just above the paper as the video began playing, ready to write at a second's notice. Fear, sadness, and intense excitement coursed through her as the recording progressed. Her gaze flickered to Gwen for an instant, taking in the woman's pained expression. Robin hoped they would be able to find a way to save Rhys and their precious daughter.<br><br>Soon, the Queen's message started to play. Robin caught the mysterious twinkle as the woman spoke of her powerful 'friend,' and she immediately knew that the Queen meant, of course, the Doctor. It was hard to fathom, all the people he must know in positions of power across the world. Soon, though, her image was replaced with that of a Silent.<br><br>Robin immediately began to write, not taking her eyes off the screen for even a second. She didn't miss a beat when the Silent changed to that foreboding pair of lips, still scribbling furiously on the paper below the conversation from the TARDIS. When the images went away, she immediately forgot, confused as to why her breathing was so elevated and her hands shaking.<br><br>Then, the Doctor was shouting, and she looked with bewilderment down at the paper. She saw new writing there and read the words in a trembling voice.<br><br>"It says... 'Silent: You should kill. Lips: Beware the child of time. Meet me in the church of paradox. Save the ones that should not be saved. Fail yourself a thousand times. Silent: us all..." She trailed off as her writing stopped. "I must not have caught the Silent's last words before the image went off." Her expression was wildly frightened as she looked at the Doctor. "What... what does this mean?"

				"I have no idea," the Doctor replied with a frown. "But, at least we know two things, one is that my theory was right. I like that, I like being right. The next is that we now have a target. Everyone grab your stuff! We're about to go outside and find the TARDIS!"<br><br>"Excellent! We shall use the power of the TARDIS to crush our enemy beneath its mighty blue form!" Strax cheered, pumping his fist into the air victoriously.<br><br>"Or alternatively Strax, we could use the TARDIS to land on one of the Zeplins that are linked to the psychic beacon and program them to broadcast a different message that will help to undo the damage cased to the human race," the Doctor said, causing Strax to deflate and grumble in disappointment.<br><br>"Are we at least going to bombard them with atom bombs and obliterate their molecules?" Strax asked grumpily.<br><br>"Strax, have you even been paying attention?" The Doctor asked with disbelief before striding over to the wall of computer screens and pulling out his sonic screwdriver and pressing it to them. The images on them rapidly changed to show images of London for all different angles. The battle was still raging on the streets, no one seemed to be any more victorious.<br><br>"Okay, I'm scanning the cctv network for the position and....yes there we go!" The Doctor cheered before pointing at the middle screen, which now showed an image of an empty Trafalgar square, saved for the magical police box that stood in its center. "Trafalgar square still looks deserted. Do you think that you can get us there Gwen?"<br><br>"With the vision jammer installed into K-9 by Sky we should have no trouble getting there," Gwen replied, a smile finally brushing over her lips. "Plus, I am an angry vengeful welsh woman who has had my husband and daughter harmed by these bastards. Let them try and stop me."<br><br>"I like her," Madame Vastra said with admiration, a smile forming on her bright green lips. "She is the most fiercest ape I have ever seen. She really is quite incredible."<br><br>"Oi!" Jenny pouted, his arms crossed defensively over her chest as she glared at her wife. Madame Vastra seemed to gulp nervously before she reached out and stroked her wife's shoulder apologetically.<br><br>"No offense intended my beloved," Madame Vastra replied. "Please lets not argue before we go into battle. You know Harry hates it when we fight."<br><br>"Speaking of Harry, I think it would be best if he should stay here with Sky," the Doctor spoke before looking towards the little boy that stood by his mothers side with a look of outrage on his adorable face. Sky seemed to wear exactly the same expression as she lared at the Doctor, but before she could voice her outrage he held up his hand. "I'm just saying. The jammer will work if you're there or not and I really don't want kids to get caught up in this."<br><br>"Doctor..." Strax began, but before he could have his say Madame Vastra hissed at him.<br><br>"Strax don't you dare try to involve my son in this war because you believe that he possesses the fighting ability of a roman gladiator thanks to your training," she snapped, her hand placed on the handle of her sword in a threatening gesture. "The Doctor is right. The children must remain behind."<br><br>"Actually Madame I was going to ask the Doctor if he would like to borrow any grenades from me," Strax huffed angrily, pulling out the baton that hung from his hip. "I would consider it most wise if he were armed considering to circumstances."<br><br>"What circumstances?" Jenny asked, drawing her own sword from its sheath.<br><br>"Well we're about to be invaded of course! The warning light has been going for the last five minutes!" Strax roared before pointing his baton at the table screen, which was now flashing bright red in alarm.<br><br>"Oh that's not good," the Doctor cursed before turning towards the metal door that was now in the process of opening very slowly with a loud creak. "Is there another way out of here Strax?"<br><br>"Yes Doctor, but we will never make it in time. May I get my gun and start shooting at them indiscriminately?" Strax asked as the door opened fully, revealing five metal figures that stood with their right arms outstretched in front of them, pointing the cannons that were grafted onto their arms at each of them.<br><br><strong>"You will be deleted"</strong> the figures spoke before they shot their lasers into the room, blowing up a hole line of computer screens and decorating the walls with smouldering holes.<br><br>"You have permission Strax! Take cover!" the Doctor yelled before leaping to the ground as the Cybermen let out another blast of shots.

				Robin looked again at everyone in the party. A smile slowly spread across her mouth as she caught everyone's eyes. Though they had only a very small chance of surviving this day... Though they were stuck directly in the middle of a battle that was being waged over the entire world... Though nearly every human on Earth was locked in a deep sleep... There was nowhere Robin would rather be.<br><br>She watched as they argued and started to laugh. Even in the middle of doomsday, women got jealous over their spouses' affections and mothers fiercely protected their children. Robin could see why the Doctor hung around Earth so much, even when he had endless other planets he could be visiting. Earth was truly a spectacular place, containing a species so hotheaded that they would take up precious time getting angry at each other because they dared called another woman incredible.<br><br>However, Strax's warning caused the smile to die on her face, and she looked toward the door nervously. Any number of fearsome foes could be waiting outside, ready to blast them to pieces. It might even be Strax's own species. But as the door opened, it was revealed that the enemy they faced was worse than the Sontarans. <br><br><strong>"You will be deleted!"</strong> the Cybermen shouted, their metallic voices ringing menacingly through the room. When they let loose, Robin dove to the floor, falling by Strax's feet. She patted his leg and shouted a thanks up to him before scooting across the floor, trying to avoid being hit by one of the lasers shooting from the Cybermen. She reached the Doctor after a moment and pressed against him.<br><br>"What do we do, Doctor?" She shouted, trying to keep her head down.

				"We hope that the Cybermen don't kill us horribly!" The Doctor yelled before pulling out his sonic screwdriver again and pointing it towards one of the computer screens. It filled with static before suddenly shining with bright light. The Cybermen's shots seemed to become more erratic as the room filled with light.<br><br>"I boosted the brightness of the screens to ultra violet, it will interfere with their vision sensors! Now move!" The Doctor yelled before tugging Robin to her feet and dragging her across the room towards the cell doors.<br><br>The room had quickly turned into a battle zone. Madame Vastra was now swinging her sword into the Cybermen, dodging blasts from its cannon and the reach of its electric touch with amazing grace whilst she sliced at the weak points in the creatures limbs. Jenny was in the process of doing the same, however her attention was half divided between fighting the creature and telling Harry to follow the Doctor.<br><br>One of the Cybermen cornered Sky, but before it could so much as touch her, K-9 blasted the machine mans head off with its laser and began rapidly firing at the approaching dangers.<br><br>Strax seemed to be the only one who was thoroughly enjoying himself during the conflict. He had abandoned his idea of grabbing his gun and instead had charged into one of the Cybermen, furiously wrestling with the metal man whilst trying to stab it in the eye socket with the end of his deadly baton. The Cyberman was trying its best to grab him and shock him, but despite it technological power it just couldn't seem to over power the psychotic potato dwarf.<br><br>"K-9, help Jenny!" Sky commanded the little metal dog as Jenny was thrown into the glass screen on the table. The dog turned its laser on the Cyberman and let off and string of shots, but after a few blasts the power of the lasers began to fade and K-9 began to slow down. <br><br><em>"Power supply failing Mistress!"</em> K-9 chirped to Sky, who crouched by the machine, waiting for her chance to escape.<br><br>"Its okay K-9. I've got this one," she spoke before racing over to the pair and jumping on the creatures back. She placed both hands on the side of its head and began to pour her power into it, forcing the machine to let go of Jenny, giving her the opportunity to stab it straight through the head with her sword.<br><br>"Oh that is just beautiful!" The Doctor yelled as he ran with Robin, stopping for a moment to avoid a rogue laser blast and taking the opportunity to watch the epic battle unfold. "I couldn't do it better myself! And I think that's a fact. I'm a bit rubbish at fighting. I bruise like a banana."<br><br>The Doctor prepared to make one last frantic dash to the cell door, but before he could break into a run the final Cybermen stomped through the chaos and let off a barrage of laser blasts. The Doctor quickly ducked to avoid them and reached into his pocket, but before he could do anything else the Cyberman grabbed him and smashed him against the wall.<br><br><strong>"You are incompatible. You will be deleted,"</strong> It spoke through its flashing mouth as it held the Doctor in place against the wall.<br><br>"Sorry but I'm not really fond of being deleted!" The Doctor growled before slapping something against the Cyberman's chest, a small coil of brown wire. <br><br>The Cybermen screeched as the coil let loose a surge of electricity that wrapped around the Cyberman's body and caused it to fall back onto the ground with smoke pouring from its joints.<br><br>"Beautiful!" The Doctor cheered and pumped his fist into the air. "Mrs Moore you saucy minx! I never did get the chance to thank you for the idea of an EMP bomb!" the Doctor roared with triumph before grabbing Robin's arm again and making a move to. "Come on Robin, lets go! You can't spend all day gawking at how amazing I a-"<br><br>The Doctor felt a tug on his arm. <br><br>Something was wrong. Robin felt heavy. Her fingers were digging into his arm.<br><br>Time seemed to slow as he slowly turned back to see why his companion was trying to drag him to the floor.<br><br>"No." the Doctor whispered, his voice lost amongst the noise of the battle between his friends and the Cybermen.<br><br>"No. You can't have..." he breathed as he golden eyes looked over Robin, who had now fallen to the ground, desperately clinging to his arm with one hand....whilst the other clutched the small burning hole in her belly.

				Robin shouted as the Doctor pulled her to her feet, the sound more a release of energy than something containing fright. She could feel the adrenaline pumping through her system, readying her for yet another battle. Her green eyes darted to look around the room, trying to catch a glimpse of everyone and see if they were all okay. As the Doctor made the screens grow brighter, she squinted, hardly able to see.<br><br>She could see Vastra, cleaving into the Cybermen with her sword, all whirling green grace and fearsome skill. The lizard-woman seemed to need no help, her battle cries echoing through the room almost lightheartedly. Jenny was fighting as well, but Robin could hear that all of her cries were directed at Harry, trying to get the child to safety.<br><br>Her gaze flitted to Strax, and a shocked laugh escaped her. He had managed to get a Cyberman - which was easily twice his height - to the ground, and was fiercely poking at it with his baton. The Cyberman, which was full of ultra-advanced cybernetics and made to kill, could not even lay a metal finger on the little Sontaran. Robin found that she was glad for this. She thought the little potato-headed man was quite funny.<br><br>Everyone was managing. Everyone was still alive. That was good... Robin watched as Sky single-handedly overloaded the Cyberman's brain so that Jenny could stab it. She heard the cries of everyone, including the harsh sounds of the Cybermen, yelling "<strong>DELETE! DELETE! ALL CONSCIOUS RESISTORS WILL BE DELETED!</strong>" <br><br>Then the Doctor was yanking her toward a cell door, trying to get them inside into safety. Robin saw the Cyberman coming toward them, but was too late to warn the Doctor. She saw a blast pass right in front of him, and sighed with relief, only to feel a blinding pain in her stomach. Looking down, she saw something that made no sense. It wasn't possible for her to be shot. She was with the Doctor.<br><br>The hole was smoking, the laser blast having formed a perfect circle in her stomach. Robin allowed herself to be pulled forward by the Doctor, but she could feel her feet growing heavy and her eyes beginning to close. As her vision faded in and out, she saw the Doctor take out a Cyberman with some sort of wire... But then she found she could no longer move. Sinking to the floor, she grabbed onto the Doctor's arm as he tried to pull her away.<br><br>Her grip was growing weaker, and she was still fighting against the coming unconsciousness. She tried, with her left hand, to cover up the gaping hole, but saw from the look on the Doctor's face that it wasn't working. She smiled up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks, and moved the hand from his arm to rest against his cheek.<br><br>"Well, we didn't see this coming, did we?" she asked with a shaky laugh. "Doctor, leave me. Go save yourself and the others. Find out what's going on and get this all set right. They need you, and there's nothing you can do for me. Except remember me. Please, remember me..."

				The Doctor was frozen in place. He stared down at Robin in shock, unable to process what he was seeing in front of him. His legs slowly buckled under him, causing him to sink down next to Robin's side. Somehow his hands seemed to seek out Robin's and curl around them. <br><br>It was all wrong, her grip felt loose and weak, life was seeping from her body.<br><br>It couldn't be happening. Robin wasn't supposed to die. Robin Baker was one of the most amazing people and there was no way that she could be dieing, it wasn't possible. It was utterly impossible.<br><br>"R-Remember you?" The Doctor stammered, his grip tightening around hers. "Don't be silly, you're not dieing," he said with a forced chuckle, as if Robin had just said an utterly absurd joke. "You can't be dieing, its not possible."<br><br>The Doctor's gaze drifted to the wound in her stomach. Anger flooded his body. The hopelessness of the situation enraged him, but yet he could still not accept what he was seeing. <br><br>Robin couldn't die. Robin was too perfect to die. Robin was too exceptional. She was too supportive, too brave, too kind, too incredible. She was too incredible to die! So why was she dieing?<br><br>"Don't be so stupid Robin!" The Doctor growled one hand pounding against the floor in frustration. "You cannot be dieing and I am not leaving you! I'm going to save you. I promise you I will save you! You are going to live Robin. You're going to annoy me for years to come and then you're going to fall in love with someone. They'll be threatened by me but they'll come along on our mad adventures and realise that although they will never be as amazing as me I will never be able to fill the hole that they do."<br><br>"So you see Robin?" The Doctor said, chuckling again in a forced desperate manner. "You can't be dieing...you can't..."<br><br>The world was quiet. Tears were gathering in the eyes of the kind ancient warrior. His world was crumbling again and nothing could be done.

				Robin fought. She could feel the blackness closing around her, and yet she fought to keep her hand pressed against the Doctor's kind, stupid, brilliant face. Tears continued pouring from her eyes, making a soft pattering sound on the floor that was strangely audible even through the din of the battle. Her smile stayed on her face even through the pain in her stomach.<br><br>"Right, I'm the stupid one," she wheezed, the words barely above a whisper. "I'm the stupid one and you're the one who thinks you can save someone with a gaping hole in her stomach. I think you're... mistaken... Doctor..." It was becoming harder and harder to talk, each word a huge struggle against the pain and the promise of release that was edging ever closer.<br><br>Yet still she fought. Still she kept her eyes open.<br><br>"It's okay, Doctor," she said. "That's what you don't understand. You think I <em>want</em> to meet someone else and settle down... But I don't. It doesn't matter when I die, because you've filled my life with amazing things. Even spending... just one day with you was enough to change me forever. And I wouldn't change one minute of it... Not even this." Her eyes grew fierce as she looked up at him.<br><br>"Now listen to me, you stupid, amazing man," she said, curling her hand around his. "You save yourself, do you understand me? You save yourself and everyone here. Because you were right... You're Batman... and I'm Robin. The sidekick is expendable but the hero has to win. Don't give me any BS about that either, Doctor... You know... it's true..." Her words were getting quieter then, and her body started to go slack.<br><br>Slowly, her eyes began to drift shut, and her head started to fall limply back. Her hands let go and she started sinking into the blackness. But before she faded she looked up at her Doctor again, smiling more brightly than ever.

				"No! No! No!" The Doctor yelled shutting his eyes tight and covered his ears in an attempt to block out what he was seeing, as if watching the scene made it real. He breathed in deep before opening his eyes slowly and looking down at Robin, his face breaking as despair finally sank in. The tears were falling, his hands cupped Robin's face and for a moment he just stared at her in incomprehension, unable to figure out how to solve the terrible problem before him.<br><br>"Robin, this is not going to happen, do you hear me?" The Doctor said before turning his head to look over at Strax, who was currently smashing the baton into the chest of the cyberman he was wrestling. "Strax! Get over here! I need you to heal Robin! STRAX! GET OVER HERE <strong>NOW!</strong>" The Doctor yelled almost hysterically.<br><br>Strax couldn't hear him. He was far too busy battling the Cyberman. Even if he was enjoying it, it was still a fight to the death that the Cyberman could win if he wasn't careful. The trouble was that by the time he finally finished the Cyberman off, Robin would be dead.<br><br>"Vastra! Sky! Jenny! Gwen!" The Doctor roared searching the room for anyone who could help. Jenny was now aiding Vastra in taking down one of the final two Cyberman. Gwen and Sky were free, but neither of them could do anything. They weren't doctors or healers or miracle workers. They were powerless.<br><br>"Robin, you cannot die. Its like you said, we're a team," the Doctor choked, his smile weak. "I can't let you die. I've let it happen too many times already. People die all the time because I fail to act or I make some sort of stupid mistake. It happens to good people, unlucky people and even the ones I try hard to keep out the way."<br><br>"So I can't let you die Robin. I can't let you down like I let down Jamie or Katarina or Sara. Alric, Romana, Amy and Rory, River and Ace. All of them died because of my mistakes and I'm not going to let that happen to you," he said but as the words left his mouth he felt Robin's pulse grow weaker. His words meant nothing, they couldn't heal the hole in her belly and they couldn't hold back death.<br><br>"Just hang on Robin, please!" The Doctor pleaded, searching for something <strong>anything</strong> that could help Robin hold on. <br><br>His eyes landed on the locket, the strange locket that hung around her neck. He had always been tempted to ask about that odd piece of jewellery, but like the beeping in her head he had been afraid to find out. He knew that the locket probably contained pictures of her family or perhaps her real parents. Asking her about it had felt too personal. He had wanted to wait until the right moment to bring it up.<br><br>Right now however, he didn't care if it was the right or the wrong moment. With any luck it contained the pictures of her family and he could keep her going by begging her to hold on for the chance to see them again. If it made her mad, then that would be just as good.<br><br>"Come on Robin, be strong. Just think about who you're leaving behind," the Doctor said as he took the locket from her neck and lifted it in front of her face and opened the locket before smiling at her and saying; "I mean, just look who you'll leave-" <br><br>Golden fire exploded from the locket and shot into Robin's eyes. The Doctor released his grip and reeled back as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes wide with shock and horror as he watched the impossible golden light shoot into the eyes of the abnormal human known as Robin Baker.<br><br>The despair vanished, replaced and was replaced by utter disbelief. He knew what the light meant, yet he couldn't believe it. He couldn't understand why the golden light, made from the knowledge and memories of the ancient Time Lords, was circling through Robin's head, changing her from a simple brilliant human into something else. Something that was absolutely impossible.<br><br>For once in his life. The Doctor was speechless.

				The words the Doctor spoke came to Robin as if from very far away. She could hear them, she understood them, but by the time they reached her he was already speaking again. Several times, the blonde tried to make some sort of reply, but it was as though she was drowning in the darkness. The black expanse of death was calling to her, begging for her, and she was ready to meet it.<br><br>As she drifted away, she saw faces. She saw the old Viking warrior and his daughter, slaughtered by the Daleks. She saw the kind faces of Lieutenant Myers and Corporal Higgins. She saw Vastra, and Jenny, Harry, Strax, Gwen, Rhys, and all the faces that had lined the walls of the TARDIS. She saw Romana, the strange yet familiar woman whose image had caught her attention. Slitheen, Daleks, the face of the Wire, the cold visage of the Celestial Toymaker... The famous faces of Harry Potter and all his friends...<br><br>She saw her brother, his bright red hair and freckles. She could hear him laughing, from a time long ago, his little voice cheering. She saw him as he grew older, getting glasses and braces and trying to learn how to play the trumpet with disastrous outcome. She saw her father, his kindly face grinning down at her as he tinkered with objects in the kitchen, his hair graying a little. She saw Roland, the dog she'd grown up with, snuffling around his feet and looking up at her with his hilariously squashed face. <br><br>She saw her mother, her hair as vibrant as always, making a pot of tea in the middle of the night when Robin felt sick. The woman who had always been there for her, had helped her through everything... Always encouraging and loving and supportive no matter what. More than anything, Robin wished she could say goodbye to her mother, the always hopeful Rita.<br><br>And of course, she saw the Doctor. His shaggy hair, his goofy grin, his strange way of swaggering around and flipping switches with his feet. And those eyes... Those ageless golden eyes. She'd seen them happy, sad, angry, distant, cold, vengeful... Every emotion she knew and so many more, she'd seen flicker through those impossible eyes. If anyone were to ask her who had been the most important person in her life, she knew that the honest answer would be the Doctor. He had shown her so much... He had taught her what it meant to truly live. To get in a blue box - which was bigger on the inside - with the mad man and his ravings about time and space. <br><br>She'd give anything to stay with him.<br><br>But Robin knew she couldn't, and so she just tried to listen to him. He was talking about who she'd leave behind. If she could have, she would have frowned. Was this crazy person trying to guilt her into staying? But then, she heard a little click, and her life changed forever.<br><br>Golden light shot into Robin's green eyes, which flew open instantly. She could feel her mind expanding, infinitely expanding. She felt her organs shift around inside her, and felt the beginnings of something strange in her chest. And then she screamed as more of the golden light started shooting from her limbs and head, filling the room with the light of the universe.<br><br>Anyone watching would see her transform. Her hair grew, changing to a deep black color and reaching almost to the bottom of her back. Her eyes changed to a color so dark blue that they looked almost purple. She seemed to stretch, growing from her average height to around six feet tall. The color of her skin shifted slightly, becoming a little more pale than before. She stayed thin but her hips and chest filled out a little more, adding more of a curve to her figure. And finally, the hole in her stomach completely closed, leaving her skin intact.<br><br>When the regeneration was complete, Robin simply stayed still for a moment. She could feel the Earth moving beneath her, hurtling through space at a recklessly fast pace. She could feel the breathing of the universe, its vast expanses calling to her to come and see. She could feel the vibrations in the very atoms that made up the matter around her. She could feel two hearts beating in her chest.<br><br>And she could smell the Doctor.<br><br>Slowly, she sat up and locked eyes with him. Shock was plain on her face as she gazed at him, realizing what she'd become. Thoughts whirled around her seemingly endless brain, and she had to try very hard to focus on any one in particular.<br><br>"I take back my statement from earlier," she said, her voice a slightly deeper, huskier sounding tone than before. "<em>This. This</em> is definitely the one we didn't see coming."

				The Doctor's eyes had bulged out of their sockets. His mouth hung open slightly as he looked at what had once been a slightly abnormal girl from Florida. She was no longer the person he had known. Thin, blonde and beautiful Robin Baker had vanished in a stream of golden light that had burned the ground around her. The fire had warped her skin and charred her hair, it had shifted the color of her eyes and transformed her figure into something that he didn't recognise.<br><br>This was no longer Robin Baker the human. This was a Time Lord. A real, living Time Lord that he didn't know. And everyone in the room was staring at her with shock and disbelief, unsure of whether to celebrate the unusual change of events.<br><br>Madame Vastra wrapped her arm around Jenny protectively, yanking her sword from the Cyberman she had just fell. Gwen was by their side with a gun in her hands, standing in front of the couple whilst Sky and Harry retreated behind her. Even K-9 seemed put off by the events and had fled behind the wall of warriors like any other frightened dog.<br><br>Only Strax seemed to have the courage (or perhaps stupidity) to approach the Doctor and Robin. He said nothing while he approached, and stayed no less than a meter away from the two, his baton at the ready in case things got ugly.<br><br>Eventually, the Doctor opened his mouth to speak, but Robin was the one who got there first.<br><br>The Doctor's face changed between several different expressions of surprise before he nodded in agreement. "This was...unexpected," he said with a grimace before turning his head. "Strax?"<br><br>"Yes sir! What would you like me to do?" Strax asked, banging his fist against his chest in a formal display. "What are your orders sir? Do you wish me to aid Miss Baker?"<br><br>"No Strax," the Doctor replied, sounding pained as he spoke. He took one final glance at Robin before saying three words. Words that he wished he didn't have to say. "Knock her out"<br><br>The Sontaran didn't give Robin a moment to react. Before she even knew what was happening, the Sontaran leaped forwards and clubbed her on the back of the head with his large three fingered hand. Knocking her out instantly.<br><br>"Doctor...she..." Madame Vastra began as the Doctor got to his feet.<br><br>"I know," he replied gruffly before looking towards the cells and clicking his fingers at Strax. "Put her in an empty cell. Don't hurt her. Make sure she's comfortable. When she wakes up...we'll deal with her."

				Robin watched the play of emotions travel over the Doctor's face. Disbelief, confusion, mistrust, and... could it be fear? Her eyes narrowed. What on Earth could the Doctor possibly have to fear from her? He knew her, she was Robin, his friend and companion. Quickly, she looked at each of them again. Madame Vastra had grabbed her sword, looking as though she was about to fight. Gwen was pointing a gun at her. Everyone looked afraid.<br><br>Strax was approaching with a velocity of about twice the normal walking speed for a Sontaran, his elevated breathing levels betraying his readiness for another battle. Confusion flitted across Robin's face for an instant as she wondered two things. First, why did everyone seem ready to take her down? Second, how could she possibly know the average walking velocity of a Sontaran?<br><br>Then, the Doctor said something she would never have imagined him saying, especially not toward her. But even as she opened her mouth, Strax hit her hard on the back of the head, rendering her immediately unconscious.<br><br>She began to dream. The dream was hazy, coming into focus very slowly. She could see the woman, Romana, weeping softly. The dream had more of a memory-like feel to it, and Robin realized she was seeing something from before she had been made human. There were loud noises all around, and Romana was clutching Robin tightly to her chest.<br><br><em>Not Romana,</em> Robin thought with shock. <em>Mother.</em> A single tear leaked from her eye at the memory, as she saw the beautiful woman place some sort of metal circuitry on Robin's head. The memory faded, though, as Robin came back to consciousness. She found herself on a bed, locked tightly in a cell, Strax standing outside with a protective posture. Then she realized she was quite angry.<br><br>"Oi!" she shouted, realizing that even her speech pattern was changing. An interesting development. "You! Strax! What the hell was that for? Get the Doctor here, now! He has some serious explaining to do!" Her hand went to the back of her head, which she realized contained much more hair than she was used to. Her nearly violet eyes burned with anger. "I'm going to get him for this..."

				"Sir, the boy was awoken!" Strax called out, ignoring the protests of the newly acquired Time Lord locked inside the cell. "Might I suggest we atomise him to prevent any attempt on your life?"<br><br>"Strax, remember what you just said, because later on I'm going to explain to you why you're a blithering idiot," the Doctor's voice called out from the far side of the room before he approached the cell, walking up to the bars and peering through them at Robin.<br><br>"Well...this is certainly one for the books," he said as he looked over her warily. Although the shock had finally drained from his face, he still seemed reluctant to get too close to Robin. It was obvious that he still didn't quite know what to make of everything.<br><br>"So..." he began before leaning forward and pressing his head to the thick steel bars of her cell. "...are you a Time Lord or did you just take that comment about me finding someone with bigger hips to heart?"<br><br>"Doctor, will you please be serious!" Madame Vastra's scolding voice hissed from behind him, causing the Doctor to smirk impishly.<br><br>"Couldn't resist. You changed, I noticed, I had to make the joke to break the ice," the Doctor said to Robin before smiling apologetically. His gaze falling to the floor as he chuckled quietly and nervously.<br><br>"I thought it would be best if I could begin by making you laugh. Its a good way to ease the tension don't you think?" The Doctor asked raisin his eyes to meet Robin's. "I figured that if I could make you laugh then at least it wouldn't come as much of a shock when I accused you of being the new leader of the Silence."

				"Firstly," Robin began, but she stopped. For a second, she ran her tongue along her teeth with an almost bemused expression on her face. "New teeth, sorry, weird." Then her eyes narrowed and she stood up from the bed, trying to walk forward. Her feet got tangled up and she fell to her knees, hard. She then sat very huffily back onto her bum before shooting the Doctor an almost conspiratorial look.<br><br>"Still getting the balance right," she said, standing again carefully. "Longer legs, wider hips, longer... hair..." She grabbed a lock of her hair and looked at it strangely before replacing it to its original position. "Black. I used to want to dye my hair black, but-" Suddenly, she shouted very loudly, clasping her hands to both sides of her head. Opening her mouth, she watched as a puff of that strange gold light came out and dissipated in the air.<br><br>"Anyway," she said, walking carefully forward. "Yes, as I was regenerating I thought mainly of the fact that you seem to like bigger hips in the hope that my new body would be tuned to your desires." Grinning broadly at the Doctor, she placed her hands on said hips, wiggling them a little. The smile faded after a second, however, as she took in the frightened and almost angry expressions on everyone's faces.<br><br>"Secondly," she said, soldiering on. "Don't make fun of Strax, I like Strax. Thirdly, how in the world could I be the new leader of the Silence? That makes no sense and you know it. Well, I think so, anyway. Well, maybe. Why do you think that?" She puckered her lips at the Doctor. "Do my new lips look like hers or something? I don't think my voice sounds anything like hers..."

				"Wow...so this is how the others felt when they saw me regenerate," the Doctor spoke with amusement as he watched Robin revel in the changes of her new body before tripping over her own feet. He was surprised that he could laugh at her despite everything that was horribly wrong with their situation. "You know, it is rather funny when its not happening to me."<br><br>His laughter died down as Robin clutched her chest and let out a puff of residual regeneration energy. The display seemed to unsettle the Doctor. Clearly it reminded him of exactly what was wrong with their situation.<br><br>But as soon as this moment of seriousness had arrived it fled without a second thought as Robin began to tease the Doctor with her new body. A grin spread over his lips as he watched her and he waggled his eyebrows before saying cheekily, "Miss Baker, do you believe I am the type of Time Lord to fall prey to a woman just because she has killer curves? I am a gentlemen I'll have you know!" <br><br>"Doctor will you cease this vulgar display!" Madame Vastra hissed again, causing him to bash his head against the bars as he was startled.<br><br>"I'm sorry she's a very convincing flirt!" The Doctor exclaimed as he rubbed the spot where his head had collided with the bars.<br><br>He listened to Robin finish her list whilst he continued to massage the spot. His face slowly turning grim as she made her case for why she couldn't possibly be the leader of the Silence.<br><br>"Robin, your voice sounds exactly like hers," the Doctor spoke gravely, his caramel eyes turning hard as he watched her reaction. "Your voices are perfectly matched. You're the voice that UNIT and Torchwood couldn't locate. I know you may not believe that you're the leader of the Silence, but we have to look at the facts."<br><br>"Your voice is the same, you possess psychic powers, the Silent on the TARDIS bowed to you - something that I have never once seen a Silent do and yes, you do have the same lips," the Doctor said before frowning deeply at Robin. "And then there's the message....beware the child of time."<br><br>The Doctor paused for a moment before hesitantly asking; "Robin, do you understand whats just happened to you? Do you remember anything about your life before...humanity?"

				Robin grinned broadly at Vastra, waggling her eyebrows at the green woman before turning her attention back to the Doctor. A laugh bubbled from her throat, light and airy compared to her speaking voice. This was proving to be a most interesting day for her, dying and then realizing she wasn't human and then regenerating and then being bashed on the head and locked in a prison cell. The thoughts whirled around her head much too quickly and she grabbed at it again, moaning.<br><br>"Good lord, Doctor," she said, closing her eyes. "Is this what it's like to be you? It's all sort of... fast and brilliant!" Her eyes flew open again and she smiled even though she was clearly avoiding the Doctor's questions. "Did you notice I'm assimilating your speech patterns? Before, I sounded like a country belle from the south of the USA, and now I sound like a right proper Brit!" Pausing for a second, she considered. "I think it's because you're the last person I thought of before... well, you know." <br><br>Further procrastinating, she started to jog in place and jump up and down, throwing her arms out to the side and spinning them in circles. When she was done, she smiled proudly at the Doctor and his friends.<br><br>"There, now I'm nice and oriented," she said, clasping her hands behind her back and rocking up and down on her heels. Her smile faded again as she stared out at all of her accusers. A sigh blew through her lips and she started to pace.<br><br>"I suppose my voice is the same, I just didn't want to think about it," she said, her voice a little softer. "Because what reason do I have for leading the Silence and putting the Earth up for grabs? I only just now realized I'm not <em>from</em> Earth... Why would I want to put my family and friends in danger? And when would I have had time to? I just regenerated after all!" She threw her arms up in the air, looking exasperated.<br><br>"I do understand what's happening to me, I'm a Time Lord and therefore basically a genius after all. As far as memories... Yes, Doctor, I do have one. And it's going to make you very sad but possibly happy at the same time." She leveled her dark blue eyes at him, staring hard. "I remember Romana. She was my mother. When I was a baby, she made me human and dropped my off at the Bakers' house before running back to the Time War." Poking a finger at him, she continued.<br><br>"And I know you may not believe me, but if you'll look through my memories again you'll see it's true. I had nothing of a Time Lord life before coming to Earth. But I do remember one more thing. Something that might help you believe that I have no intention of hurting you or any of the wonderful people here." Her gaze turned to everyone outside her cell before she clicked open her locket again. She shook it over the floor, and somehow out dropped two letters and a pen-looking device. <br><br>Stooping down, she picked up all of it. On the outside of one letter, a flowing script read "Robin." On the other was the word "Doctor." And as Robin looked at the pen, she smiled a little before tucking it into her pocket. Slowly, she walked forward, before handing him the letter with his name on it.<br><br>"My locket is bigger on the inside."

				The Doctor's smile gradually faded from his face as he listened to Robin's rant. It wasn't as if they weren't good points and the suggestion that she was Romana's child was as possible as it was shocking....but he couldn't believe it. He couldn't trust this new woman. Even if she was of the same species as him, even if she was Romana's daughter and even if she was still Robin Baker in a sense, she was also a complete mystery. There was nothing that told the Doctor he could trust this woman, not after the Silence bowed to her, not after witnessing the advert and especially not after his attempt at scanning her head.<br><br>"I hope thats true Robin, but it needs to be something good," the Doctor spoke as Robin began to fiddle with her locket. "While you were knocked out I tried to scan your brain, but I couldn't no matter how hard I tried. Your psychic powers have advanced with your transformation, your mind is guarded by iron walls that I can't possibly break down. The most I could do was catch a quick glimpse...and what I heard terrified me."<br><br>A sullen look had formed on the Doctor's face, his gaze had fallen to the floor. <br><br>"Robin...I heard-" the Doctor began, but his sentence was interupted by the sound of paper falling to the floor. <br><br>The Doctor gave the letter a puzzled look as it was handed to him. Slowly and cautiously he opened it and began to read it. His face could have been made of stone as his eyes trailed over the words. He didn't show any sign of emotion, all he did was stare at the paper with an unyielding blank expression.<br><br>Slowly, he folded the letter and pocketed it before pulling out his screwdriver and pressing it to the lock of the door.<br><br>"I'm letting her out," the Doctor called back to his friends as the device began to whirr. The sound of seats scrapping against the floor and guns cocking echoed through the room as the door swung open.<br><br>"Are you mad?" Gwen cried as she stood up from her seat at the center table, pointing her gun from the Doctor to Robin, unable to decide who was the bigger threat. "That woman might be the leader of the Silence! She might be behind all this because of some weird time travel bollacs and you're just going to let her out?"<br><br>The Doctor turned to look over his shoulder at Gwen and the rest of the team. Jenny and Vastra were slowing getting out of their seats and drawing their swords whilst Sky nudged K-9 in the direction of the Doctor as she sat on the stool besides the table.<br><br>Surprisingly, Strax was not in a rush to get into the conflict, and was now scratching his bald head with one chubby finger, whilst standing protectively by Harry's side in the far corner of the room.<br><br>The Doctor looked to each of them, regarding the weapons they held and the threat they posed before saying one word; "Yes."<br><br>The room was silent as the gang gawked at the Doctor with disbelief, which only proceeded to get worse as he stepped in front of the cell, blocking Robin from harm.<br><br>"No one going to shoot Robin or cut her down," the Doctor spoke softly. "What you're going to do is put your weapons away and trust me, because if you don't then that means you intend to do me and Robin harm. And if that is your intent then that makes you my enemy and you don't want to be my enemy."

				Robin heard everything the Doctor said. For the moment, though, she chose to not reply, thinking that maybe they should save that particular conversation for later. It was, after all, her brain they were talking about. Her expression was guarded yet pleasant as she waited for the Doctor to read his letter. <br><br>While he was doing so, she looked down at the one with her name on it. It seemed as though it was calling to her, willing her to open it and learn about her past. A tear leaked from one dark eye and she wiped it away irritably. Resisting her urges, she stuffed the letter into her pocket, to wait for when she was ready to read the information within. <br><br>And so she returned to observing. Her new eyes caught much more than her human ones had. The rise and fall of the chests belonging to each individual in the room told her that everyone save Strax was in attack mode... Which puzzled her. Of all people in the room, she would have expected Strax to be the most ready to fight her. Then again, he was created in attack mode, so perhaps his breathing wouldn't accelerate when he was about to strike. Fascinating. <br><br>She watched as Gwen's fierce eyes darted between the two Time Lords, wondering whether something would happen or if she would need to intervene. She could see Madame Vastra's fingers twitching, eager to pull out that fearsome sword. Jenny had eyes only for Harry, making sure he was safe with the Sontaran. Sky was gazing at the floor. <br><br>And the Doctor. His expression was more stony than she had ever seen it, which was almost more frightening than his anger. She could read nothing in his face, and her breath caught in her throat. What could he be thinking? Suddenly, his sonic screwdriver was pulled from his pocket. <br><br>Robin grinned and heaved a sigh of relief as he unlocked her door and pronounced that he was letting her out. Though she still saw that everyone was apparently against this idea, having the Doctor on her side was all that mattered. <br><br>"That's a relief," she said in her now-husky voice. "I had no idea what that letter said, so I'm glad it wasn't something that would have made you allow Strax to vaporize me." Looking around, she chuckled, but the laughter died when she caught the still-angry expressions of the humans and other species. Her face grew serious. <br><br>"Look. I understand that you don't trust me. Seeing someone not only completely change form but change into something that should be impossible is probably most disconcerting. I wouldn't trust myself either if I were you. Especially not with the... Similarities... Between myself and the person who caused all this mess. I'm going to admit... It might be me. But right now, right here, I am on your side." She looked with earnest at each face individually before leaning close to the Doctor and whispering almost inaudibly in his ear. <br><br>"We need to talk."

				"We do," the Doctor said with a nod before taking Robin by the wrist and pulling her out of the entrance to the underground base and over to the van, hopping over pieces of Cybermen as they moved. The van that waited outside now looked as if it had been barbequed and fried repeatedly. More than likely it had been caught in the crossfire of the Cybermen attack.<br><br>"There's something you have to understand, Robin," the Doctor spoke as he let go of her wrist and turned to face her. "I mean you no harm. I don't cause fights, I respond to them. Usually I never attack anyone unless they mean to do me or any innocent person harm," the Doctor said sternly before breathing in deep and exhaling slowly.<br><br>"But I swear," he began, his voice forming a growl. "If you're some psychotic Time Lord from the later days of the Time War or if you're somehow the Master's or Rassilion's later regeneration or perhaps just the Silence's next vanity project. I will end you." The Doctor's eyes were burning intensly as he watched Robin's face carefully, noting her reaction to the threat. "If you turn out to be a threat after all of this, after putting an entire race into a catatonic state, after offering up this amazing planet as a prize to be won in a silly little war game and after using Robin Baker and Romana against me. I will not hesitate to fight you."<br><br>He stepped forwards and leaned in close, his fiery eyes boring into the calm blue of Robin's gaze. "I will make you pay a thousand times over, just like I did with the Wire and Skinrad, the Dalek's and the Toymaker. I will make you regret everything."<br><br>The Doctor held the stare for a few seconds more before a smile slowly broke out over his lips. "But...I don't think you are any of those things Robin Baker," he said with amusement before gazing over her slowly. "I think you're just one of those impossible things. Something that defies all logic and crushes all odds. Something that is irrational and cannot be explained no matter how hard you try."<br><br>"You know what we call those things Robin?" The Doctor asked before grabbing her by the shoulders and grinning with more delight than a child on Christmas Day. "We call them miracles."

				Robin let the Doctor pull her to the van, walking calmly along behind him with a completely neutral expression. At the last moment, she turned back to the group and gave them a reassuring smile before she and the Doctor disappeared from the base. With a deep breath, she brought her eyes up to meet his as he turned to look at her. The fire in his eyes was unmistakable. <br><br>With another gulp of air, she tried her best to keep her cool and not let her face betray her fear. Robin had seen this look in the Doctor's eyes before... This anger, this seriousness, this threatening glare that he had now. But it was the first time any of these emotions had ever been directed toward her. It made her sad, to see him this cross with her... When all she had done was become something that he should have <em>wanted.</em><br><br>Still, though, she kept her calm as he stared into her eyes. The deep blue held no trace of her anxiety, only revealing tranquility and the happiness she felt anytime her Doctor was near. Then, however, he started to smile. And when that happened, Robin sighed, her eyes closing, and smiled back. When he had finished speaking, she opened them again, and he would be able to see that tears were threatening to spill over.<br><br>"Okay Doctor," she began, still getting used to the deeper sound of her voice. Though she could hear its resemblance to the woman's in the advert, it held none of the menacing undertone they had heard in that person's message. Hopefully that was a good thing. "I have a couple things to tell you and then five very important questions to ask." She looked into his golden eyes, grinning widely.<br><br>"Now, as far as I know, I am not an incarnation of some psychotic Time Lord, Master or Rassilon or otherwise. I'm just Robin, human Robin who was changed by Romana as a baby. But hear me on this." Her eyes grew more serious, and her face stern. "In my present state of mind, as simply Robin... If I were to turn out to be <em>any</em> of those things... Well I, here and now, am telling&nbsp; you that I would <em>want</em> you to make me pay. What's being done here is horrible and I absolutely hate it and want it to end. And if it turns out that I actually <em>do</em> have to die for that... Well, you know." The grin returned then.<br><br>"Also... HOW FLIPPING COOL IS THIS?" Her voice grew to an excited pitch and her eyes shone. "I'm a damn Time Lord!" For a moment, she danced in place, still looking a little lanky and uncoordinated. After she finished, she continued smiling at him and calmed down a little.<br><br>"Now... for the important questions." Her expression took on a tinge of worry, but she soon pushed it back and replaced her pleasant look. "One. What was in the letter that made you let me out?" Her questions were burning inside her, needing to be answered and soon.<br><br>"Two. What do I look like?" The tone implied a question of whether or not she was attractive. "I can feel that I'm taller, I know I have black hair... As you said before I have bigger hips... But what do I really look like? It seems like a silly question but I want to know. From your perspective."<br><br>"Three. What did you hear inside my head?" This particular question scared her a little, for she had seen the Doctor's expression when mentioning it and it didn't bode well.<br><br>"Four. If I tried, could I lift those 'iron walls' you talked about and let you see in my head? I want everyone to trust me, Doctor, and I know they won't unless you can somehow prove to them that I don't mean them any harm." Then, the grin widened, and she held her arms out.<br><br>"Five. And this, Doctor, is the most important question of them all... Can I have a hug?"

				The Doctor listened patiently to her responses and problems, the smile on his face growing a little brighter every minute. After she was finished he didn't hesitate to step forwards and pull her into a tight hug that took her off her feet. <br><br>"After saying exactly what I was hoping you would say you can have one of these," he said before twirling on the spot with her in his arms before setting her down onto the ground and beaming at her with delight. "And to answer your first question, yes, it is flipping cool. Bizarre, horrifying, shocking and amazing, but also flipping cool."<br><br>He let go of her shoulders and stepped back scratching his chin as he thought over her other questions. His apprehension seemed to have faded away and now he looked over her curiously, wrapped in deep thought. "Those walls that surround your head are a reflex. Your powers seem to be driven by a certain amount of instinct. It may take a while for you to learn how to drop them......but that won't be necessary, because I know what's inside your head."<br><br>He crossed his arms over his chest and grimaced at Robin. It looked as if he was bracing himself, much like a regular Doctor would before he broke terrible news to an unfortunate patient.<br><br>"What I heard in your head is something called the Eternal Code. You wouldn't know anything about it even with your memories intact, because it happened during the Time War," the Doctor explained, his voice sounding as hollow as it always did when he mentioned the foulest war in history. "The Eternal Code is a Time Lords version of Enigma Machines, specially encrypted telepathic messages that even the Daleks couldn't decode, because they could only be heard by Time Lords and decoding the messages required the use of a TARDIS."<br><br>"At some point during our travels the message was sent to you. The chameleon arch, the device that turned you from a Time Lord to a human, couldn't suppress the power of your telepathy, so it leaked over into your human form, giving just enough power to pick up the signal. But your head couldn't make sense of it. Instead it came out as an irritating beeping," the Doctor explained whilst indicating to her forehead with his fingers. "Now that you're a Time Lord the message is buried quietly in the back of your head, but once you get within range of a TARDIS it will activate and continue to repeat until its extracted through the TARDIS's own psychic force."<br><br>"So can understand why I am afraid Robin. The Eternal Code was an invention from the Time War. It could mean that something worse is on the horizon. Perhaps it could mean that the Time War isn't over and that soon it may spill into this world," the Doctor said, sounding more crestfallen by the minute. <br><br>The worry was evident in his eyes. He didn't need to explain why that would be so bad, the reason was obvious. <br><br>If the Time War leaked into their world, everything would die.

				Robin squeezed her eyes shut and hugged the Doctor tightly as he spun her around, lifting her off the ground like a child. When he set her down, she beamed at him, her smile bright and her eyes dancing with merriment. It was the reaction she'd hoped for... No more of the apprehension and fear that had greeted her when she'd been changed.<br><br>Her face grew thoughtful as he began to speak. Then it became a little more grim as he spoke of what he had seen inside her mind. The Eternal Code... He was right, she had no idea what it was. Even with all this new knowledge in her mind, she had no idea of the things that had gone on during the Time War, since she'd been brought to Earth at the start of it. As she thought, she twisted a strand of black hair around her finger over and over.<br><br>Then, she had to look away as he implied that her going near a TARDIS again could potentially bring the Time War to the Earth. What was the point in being a Time Lord if you couldn't travel through time and space? And even if the Eternal Code didn't bring back the Time War, it could be something different that the code would bring. Perhaps not quite so terrible, but bad enough all the same. Robin sighed. She hadn't been a normal human... and now she couldn't even be a normal Time Lord. <br><br>After a few seconds, she straightened, smiling brightly at the Doctor.<br><br>"That settles it then!" she said, clapping him on the shoulder. "I'll just never go near a TARDIS again!" She then gave him a stern look. "By the way, you skipped two of my questions, you sly devil you."

				"Don't be stupid. Of course you're going near the TARDIS again," the Doctor protested before walking past Robin with a shake of his head. "I can't just leave you by yourself wandering around. I'm already run ragged by keeping track of one cheeky Time Lord woman, I don't have the patience for two."<br><br>"Not to mention I'm as fascinated by what the message in your head says as I am terrified by it," the Doctor said before looking back at Robin over his shoulder and winking at her. "You're not getting away from me again Miss Baker."<br><br>"Besides, if I let you go gallivanting off then an old friend of mine would be very angry," the Doctor added before shrugging innocently. "According to the letter she said that if anything happened to you she would break a tennis bat over my head and kick me into a black hole before throwing my shoes into an imploding dwarf star."<br><br>"As for how you look...." The Doctor began before he turned back to Robin. He looked her up and down and then circled her once before sheepishly scratching the back of his head. "Well...you're not bad to look at." <br><br>"You've got black hair, I'm a fan of black hair. And you've got blue eyes, which is nice because I'm also a fan of blue as you can tell by the coat," the Doctor said before gesturing to his duffel coat with a small shrug. <br><br>"As for the rest of you..." the Doctor began, his eyes drifting downwards. For a moment the Doctor just stared, looking rather oblivious as he struggled for the right words. "Well...you know...its...your....yeah!" He mumbled, his fingers making slight gestures to Robin's body before he turned on the spot and marched back towards the base. <br><br>"Just...keep it up," the Doctor awkwardly called back to her as he walked away at a brisk pace.

				The whole time the Doctor spoke, Robin's grin grew wider and brighter. Here he was again, her Doctor, cheeky and awkward and brilliant. A laugh escaped her as he explained what Romana had said in her letter. One finger drifted down to the pocket which contained Robin's own letter. She wondered what it would say... She was almost too scared to read it.<br><br>But of course, she would.<br><br>As the Doctor studied her, Robin placed her hands on her hips, jutting one out to the side jauntily. The laughter in her eyes danced madly as he awkwardly tried to describe what she looked like. Robin had, of course, seen herself in a mirror before leaving the cell... She just wanted to see the Doctor squirm. It was oh so much fun, his squirming.<br><br>When he walked away, she jogged and caught up to him, slapping his bum before flouncing off in front of him, hips swaying. She reached the door and turned back, leaning against the frame and waiting for him.<br><br>"Oh I'll keep it up," she said conspiratorially. "Especially if you get all flustered like this when you look at me." One blue eye closed in a wink before she followed him back into the bunker. <br><br>"Now tell me, Doctor, why do I have the sudden urge to wear boots and get a tattoo?"

				The Doctor let out a high pitched yelp as he backside was slapped and stared after Robin with an astonished look on his roughly shaven face. For the first time in a long while, the Doctor suddenly felt a little self conscious about the fuzz on his face and the length of his shaggy hair. Paranoid urges to visit a barbers shop flooded into his head as he watched Robin strut before him. <br><br>A lump seemed to form in his throat as he watched his once innocent companion's hips sway before she leaned against the door frame and winked at him with a smile that could have rivaled the Devil's.<br><br>"You behave yourself girl," the Doctor said as he past, waggling his finger at her like a teacher telling off a student. "You may be more telepathically powerful than me and you may be Romana's daughter, but I'm still older than you and that makes me in charge. So behave or I will spank you!"<br><br>The Doctor froze as he stepped through the doorway and registered six pairs of eyes and one robotic optical sensor staring at him from the center table. Madame Vastra raised her scaly brow questioningly at the Doctor whilst Jenny, Sky and Strax sniggered at the look on his face.<br><br>"So..." the Doctor said, his gaze dropping to the ground as he scratched his head sheepishly. "You all heard that."

				Robin laughed uproariously at the Doctor's flustered state. It felt nice to be the one making <em>him</em> feel bewildered for a change instead of the other way around. All this energy just coursing through her body... The expansive state of her mind... It was all so overwhelmingly <em>brilliant</em> that she simply couldn't stop herself from being exuberant.<br><br>As Robin joined him in front of the others, her smile never left her face. Cocking her head to the side, she squinted at him before winking again.<br><br>"Is that a promise, Doctor?" she asked innocently. "If so, I'll have to misbehave more often." She looked back at the group of mismatched people in the room and winked at them as well, as if sharing in some sort of inside joke.<br><br>"Right you lot," she said, placing both hands on her hips once more. "The tides have turned. You now have <em>two</em> Time Lords on your side instead of just one. How does that make you feel?"

				"Like I want to put a bullet through your head," Gwen replied bluntly before looking at the Doctor. "Are you sure about this Doctor? You said she could be the new leader of the Silence, what if she's just playing you for a fool?"<br><br>"Then I'll deal with it. Please trust me Gwen, Robin is here to help," the Doctor replied before turning to face the group. "I need to get to TARDIS, but we're in a bit of a pickle. The van is wrecked and so is the security of this place. This door is not going to be shutting anytime soon."<br><br>"Good, then that means we shall have to take the fight to the surface!" Strax roared before jumping onto the table and raising his fists in triumph. "Tonight I will spice my fluid intake with the blood of my enemies!"<br><br>"Strax, get off the table," Madame Vastra sighed heavily. "I know what you're about to ask Doctor. And yes, we shall do it."<br><br>"Do what?" Sky asked, looking about the room in confusion.<br><br>"The door is broken, which means that any of the creatures from above can get into this room and harm the humans that are being held in our cells. Someone needs to be here to guard them, so I will stay and defend them while the rest of you help the Doctor reach the TARDIS"<br><br>"Not on your bloody life!" Jenny snapped, slamming her fists against the table. "There is no way I am leaving you to fight an army by yourself! Your own kind are out there searching for you, they believe you're a traitor to their race. Do you think I'm going to leave you to deal with that by yourself?"<br><br>"My dear, you can't stay. Someone needs to look after out son," Madame Vastra spoke with a frown, refusing to make eye contact with the young Victorian Cockney. "You must go with the Doctor. I shall be fine."<br><br>"Yes you will, because Jenny is going to stay with you," the Doctor spoke, his eyes meeting Vastra's as they looked up from the table with a look of intense fury. The Doctor didn't budge, he stared back with a calm look on his face, showing that there was no negotiation. "You two will stay here and guard the place with Gwen, Sky and Harry. Its the safest way to protect everyone."<br><br>"Why can't I come with you Doctor?" Sky asked with a frown.<br><br>"And why are you leaving me behind?" Gwen asked with a scowl. "Don't tell me you're just going to go out there alone with only Strax and that possibly dangerous woman at your side!"<br><br>"That's exactly what I'm saying," the Doctor replied as he looked at the two. "Sky I'm leaving you here to get the Jammer built into K-9 online and keep it running. Once you've done that this place will go off the grid to anyone with advanced radar technology, from the Cybermen to the the Autons."<br><br>"As for you Gwen, the reason is simple," the Doctor said before nodding at the cells. "Its your husband and child in there. If we succeed in bringing them out of this state I want the first thing they see to be you."<br><br>"Then... we are going to war?" Strax asked hesitantly, still stood on the table like an ornamental center piece.<br><br>"Yes Strax, we're going to war. Your blood thirsty mind is needed," the Doctor said with a sigh and rolled his eyes at Robin. "Go fetch the biggest gun you have. We're going to need it if we want to get out of here alive," the Doctor said before letting out a shout as Strax jumped off the table and practically skipped to the weapons locker in the medical bay.<br><br>"Oi! Take that spring out your step! Don't think I'm happy that I'm letting you use that stupid laser cannon of yours," the Doctor pouted before his mouth fell open as Strax pulled out an enormous futuristic rifle from the locker. It was the size of a steel girder and had multiple glowing red energy cells burning within its magazine. It looked as if a single shot from the rifle would blow up a building.<br><br>"Strax...where did you get that abomination?" The Doctor asked.<br><br>Strax looked at the gun for a second before shrugging and simply replying with; "Found it."

				"Well thank you dear, I like you too," Robin replied to Gwen simply, the smile never leaving her face. Her fierce desire to have this strange crew like and trust her did not show on her face. She knew that simple words would never make it happen, that she would have to somehow prove herself to them. Steel formed inside her as she looked at all of their faces.<br><br>She would do whatever she needed to do.<br><br>When Strax jumped onto the table, Robin let out a loud laugh, watching the deformed-looking man put his fists in the air. She was really getting to like Strax, even if he was a war-hungry dwarf. Her eyes scanned the room as they all continued talking, taking everything in. It seemed a long shot, but if the Doctor had some sort of plan, Robin had faith.<br><br>She could see the fierce looks that all of the women were giving the Doctor. It was hard not to smile... It seemed that no matter where the Doctor went, he would always be surrounded by some sort of mob of angry women. Robin chuckled as she realized she wasn't sure whether to be amused or perhaps jealous. How strange, she thought, shaking her head.<br><br>Another laugh bubbled from her as Strax flounced his way to the weapons closet, but the laugh died as he pulled out the gun. Her mouth popped open.<br><br>"Ooh, I like that." She then shook her head. "Wait. Do I like guns? No, no I don't think I do. That's heinous." But she still laughed at his comment about having found the weapon. Hopefully if the tiny warrior made it through the oncoming battle and so did she, they would be friends. Of a sort... Robin wasn't quite sure how good of friends one could be with a Sontaran.<br><br>"Everyone," she said, her voice soft but still carrying. "I'm not going to let you down. But if I do... the Doctor and Strax are guarding me. And you can bet that dear Strax would not hesitate to turn my brain into paste. Isn't that right, Straxy boy?"

				"Without a moments hesitation you puny little human girl," Strax said proudly, punching his hand into the air and banging it against his chest.<br><br>"Strax..." the Doctor began.<br><br>"Oh, sorry, I mean... Without a moments hesitation you puny little human boy!"<br><br>"Strax! Time Lord! Remember?" The Doctor exclaimed before sighing heavily. "Come on, lets go get ourselves killed for some silly noble reason."<br><br>"Good luck Doctor," Madame Vastra called after him as he walked through the doors. "You too Robin. Stay safe and try not to get in the way of Strax when he starts shooting. He gets a bit carried away."<br><br>"Yes I do!" Strax roared before marching over to the door and following the Doctor, laughing as if today was the happiest day of his life. Which in a Sontaran's case, might not have been such an unreasonable thing to assume.<br><br>"The first thing we'll need is some method of transportation. We have to make it past a bridge full of battling aliens, most of which will be the most fearsome and brutal, for they're the ones who have been strong enough to survive the last few hours of combat," the Doctor spoke before looking towards Strax. "Come on Strax, you're a tactical kind of dude, what do you suggest?"<br><br>"Our underground base has three grand chambers which are all accessible from this location. One chamber is for communications, the other is currently for the possession and comfort of the red headed woman known as Donna Noble and the final chamber contains the vehicles that UNIT and Torchwood wished to be relocated. I suggest we ransack it!"<br><br>"Good plan Strax!" The Doctor said before pulling out his screwdriver and pointing it at one of the remaining walls. After a brief moment of whirring from the device, the wall sank down into the floor and revealed a large show room that contained many different vehicles. <br><br>Unfortunately, most of them were broken, but amongst the sphere shaped ships, the broken down buses with rocket boosters, the large grey silos and large rotor blades, was something that made the Doctor let out a yell of pure unbridled joy.<br><br>"Oh my... Leftbridge, I knew you couldn't have got rid of her. She's just too beautiful," the Doctor spoke before striding through the miniature junkyard and jumping into the seat of a bright canary yellow roadster car. He honked the horn and beamed, laughing excitedly before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a car key.<br><br>"Robin, Strax, meet BESSIE! The other love of my life!" The Doctor called with a devilish grin before turning the key in the car and starting its engine, causing it to roar and slowly creep out from amongst the metal. "Forget the TARDIS we're going to win the war with this!"

				"Right the first time though Strax, definitely a girl in here," Robin said, fondly patting the gruff Sontaran on the shoulder. With a devilish grin, she added, "Though I'm sure you don't have to tell the Doctor that." Laughing, she turned back to Madame Vastra and gave her a wink before saluting the team and addressing them.<br><br>"Thanks Vastra," she said. "Everyone please keep yourselves alive. I want you all here when I get back so that you can pass judgement on me together." She pointed accusingly at each of them in turn. "Good luck. And here we go." With that, she turned on the spot, running to catch up with the Doctor and Strax. Looking down, she noticed the hole in her silvery shirt and frowned.<br><br>"Oh, I liked this shirt," she complained. "Well, I guess I'll have to change anyway. These clothes are a bit too tight for me. What do you think, Doctor?" But he was more focused on finding the apparent love of his life, Bessie. Grinning, Robin walked over to the yellow car and yanked open the passenger side before hopping in.<br><br>"Quite the ride here, Doctor," she said with a laugh. But before Strax could get in, Robin grabbed the Doctor's arm and looked at him very seriously. "Doctor, listen. What's going to happen when we get near the TARDIS? What if... what if the message is from the Time War? We can't bring that here... And you're seriously asking for it by taking me there." For a second, she hesitated, arguing with herself internally. But then she looked at the Doctor with a determined look.<br><br>"Also, I wanted to do something very important. I wanted to say thank you. If this is it, if I'm going to change or die or do something horrible and this is my last sane moment alone with you, I wanted to say thank you and do something I told you I wouldn't do again." With that, she smiled, placing a hand on his cheek.<br><br>And then Robin Baker kissed the Doctor.

				"I have to take you there Robin. If you're somehow part of the Silence's plan then that means that they may be trying to do things that are out of their control. If the message in your head hints at anything to do with the Time War, then we have to deal with it now before they try something even more daring," the Doctor explained whilst driving the yellow car out of the garage and beginning to turn it into the slope to the surface. Strax had hopped in behind them and was now checking his aim by balancing the huge gun on certain parts of the car, he appeared to be satisfied with all of the angles.<br><br>"We need this to be in our control. Not someone elses. If its a link that someone is trying to use to bring the Time War into our world, then we should be able to severe it by cutting the connection on our end," the Doctor said before turning to her and giving her a grin. "Besides, if you are a part of the Silence's plan, the last thing they would expect is for me to do something irresponsible like this."<br><br>The light of the London evening crept over them as they emerged from the tunnel and tore onto the road. The Doctor let out a cheer as they landed on it with a bump, right before Robin grabbed him and laid a kiss upon his lips.<br><br>The car swerved and let out a screech as the Doctor's concentration became divided between driving and the utter shock of being kissed by Robin. When she pulled back he gawked at her, his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide from shock.<br><br>"Sir are you all right?" Strax asked with a groan, having fallen over from the Doctor's sudden swerve. He pointed his gun at Robin's head and glared her down with a sneer, his finger pressing lightly on the trigger. "Did she attempt to kill you with poison? I saw some very suspicious movements between her mouth and yours."<br><br>"Uh...it was...N-Nothing Strax" the Doctor stammered, his voice weak and strained, as if he had just spent an hour shouting. "She just slipped me the tongue, thats all."

				Robin laughed again, giving Strax a pat on his bulbous head. Then her hand went to her neck and massaged a bit as she felt the whiplash from the Doctor's sudden swerve. This was definitely proving to be a most interesting day. It seemed as though impulses were a bit harder to control in this body... But as she thought about it, perhaps it wasn't the Time Lord in her that made it hard. Maybe it was the new personality. A cheeky grin spread across her mouth.<br><br>"It's called a kiss, Strax," she said, looking at the Sontaran. "I'd say we could try it sometime, but I'm not <em>that</em> desperate for attention." Her gaze turned back to the Doctor and she smirked.<br><br>"Hold on a bit. Did you just say people <em>wouldn't</em> expect you to do something reckless? Because in my time with you, it has been my experience that nearly <em>everything</em> you do is reckless. Which doesn't bother me, not in the slightest, but you can't say I'm wrong." She winked. "I suppose we'll just have to hope." <br><br>Looking out the window, she smiled again, a little more sincerely. London was beautiful, even in the middle of an interstellar battle. It was a place she'd always longed to see, maybe after college or something when she had money. A laugh bubbled from her as she realized that she'd even seen other planets before she'd seen England. Her grin turned more devilish as she looked back at the Doctor.<br><br>"I love this whole new ability of mine. Making the Doctor all flabbergasted and weak in the knees," she said, tucking her feet under her. "I always thought you liked blondes, but now I'm learning your penchant for tall, dark, and mysterious." Cocking her head to the side, she added. "By the way, now that I'm a Time Lord, do I get a vague nickname? Maybe I could be the Vixen, or the Siren." Pointing a finger accusingly at him, she narrowed her eyes. "You took the only good one, you sod."

				"I'm trying to be an optimist Robin, work with me here!" The Doctor exclaimed at Robin's comment before roughly turning the car to one side in order the smouldering wreck of a large spaceship that appeared to have been shot down and crashed into Big Ben. The Doctor was starting to feel sorry for the huge clock, spaceships seemed to enjoy crashing into it.<br><br>Explosions caught his attention as they turned back onto west minster bridge. The fighting seemed to have moved on from the grand bridge, but there were still remanants of some species battling it out on its surface. He could already see the remains of a gang of rhinocerus headed aliens dressed in black firing away at a trio of Rutans, who divided their attack between them and a small band of golden robots dressed in Father Christmas Costumes.<br><br>"If you're going to start thinking of a name, how about Pest? Because right now, you're being one!" The Doctor exclaimed, his cheeks red from blushing whilst he steered the car between the wreckage and the numerous bodies that covered the bridge, from Cybermen to Silurians to huge piles of what appeared to be sugar and metal. "Now try to keep your hands off me Vixen because I'm going to try really hard at driving this loud car past the aliens ahead of us without attracting their attention"<br><br>"Die! Die! Die!" Strax yelled as he began firing his rifle, sending huge lines of burning red energy at the hovering Rutans, cutting one of the gelatinous creatures in two and causing it to explode in a shower of green vapor and sparks.<br><br>"I'm going to pretend that Strax didn't just do that," the Doctor growled as he changed gear and sent BESSIE tearing across the bridge, knocking the christmas robots out of the way as it bowled into them.

				"Oi, you know you like it, Doctor," Robin said, the grin never leaving her face. "You can hardly blame me, I'm just bursting with regeneration energy and my head is so full of stuff I feel I could just... explode." Another cheeky laugh escaped her. "So you've chosen Vixen... But maybe that one will just have to stay between the two of us." <br><br>She watched the battle with her dark eyes, taking in the dismembered corpses and the deactivated robot parts. Pieces of flesh and metal lay in smoking heaps across the road, and the sounds of guns firing echoed around them. Then Robin jumped as Strax began firing, the loud noise filling the car with its strange sounds. She giggled as he shouted at the aliens.<br><br>"Well, so much for not attracting attention," she said, grinning as they knocked over the Christmas robots. "Does that mean I get to put my hands on you again, Doctor?"

				"Of course not, we'll crash if you try to pounce on me again!" The Doctor exclaimed before swerving again to avoid knocking into the rhino headed aliens, who seemed unsure whether to open fire on the antique car. "I swear Vixen if you put your hands on me again I'm going to make good on that promis I made earlier!"<br><br>"Sir, the Rutans are adjusting to the energy output of Starldemar!" Strax spoke as he fired another shot of red death at the Rutans who were now projecting barriers of green energy around themselves that reflected the beam at the rhino aliens, who were vaporised upon contact with the violent energy.<br><br>"What's Starldemar?" The Doctor yelled back to the Sontaran. "Don't te me that's what you've named your gun!"<br><br>"Very well, I will not tell you!" Strax called before ducking to avoid another blast from the Rutans bioelectric bolts.<br><br>"Stop being clever Strax, just give the darn thing here!" The Doctor snapped before pulling out his screwdriver and pointing it at Strax's rifle as he fired another shot.<br><br>The beam immediately changed from a burning red to a powerful pulsating blue. The blast knocked the Rutans out the air, causing them to float to the ground and land peacefully on the floor.<br><br>"Sir, I don't think our plan worked," Strax called to the Doctor. "The Rutans are still alive!"<br><br>"Really? Well isn't that a surprise?" The Doctor asked before they turned off the bridge and went thundering down one of the main roads.

				"Oh, fine, hands to myself," Robin sighed. "But that only applies to now, when I get you alone in the TARDIS you're certainly in for it." She watched the ongoing battle carefully, taking in all the information she could about every alien they saw. It was so strange, seeing everything with new eyes, with a new body. She knew she was still herself but... It was all so different and amazing. And a little sad. She still laughed, however, when Strax made a joke.<br><br>"Strax, stop being clever, it doesn't suit you!" Her voice was cheery, but she kept looking out the window so that the Doctor couldn't see her eyes. <br><br>The closer they got to the TARDIS, the more she could sense it. The message, buried deep in her mind, was trying to push its way to the front. But Robin did not want to know what it said. She wished she would never have to find out. So, with all her might, she pushed it back. And it made her head hurt, so fiercely, that her eyes started to water.<br><br>One hand drifted up to her temple. She tried to make it look like she was scratching her head, but she kneaded the flesh there, trying to get some reprieve from the pain. But nothing she did helped. It was so frightening, knowing that someone had planted something in your head so long ago... Something you'd never known was there... Something that could possibly mean the end of everything.

				"Down Vixen, I'm a Time Lord, not a piece of meat," the Doctor replied to Robin before looking back over his shoulder at Strax. "Nice shooting Strax. Now put down the gun before you blow us all up."<br><br>"Sir, I am a Sontaran warrior. I am perfectly capable of firing this weapon without endangering my comrades," Strax grumbled, locking and loading the weapon with a loud click. The gun hummed threateningly as the power cells inside it prepared to fire again.<br><br>"Strax, you're a nurse, you heal the wounded and the sick and have very few opportunities to let out your inner warrior, you're a ticking time bomb when you've got a gun," the Doctor warned as he looked back and fourth between Strax and the road. "Plus, your eyes need testing. You clearly have perception problems."<br><br>"What?" Strax cried with outrage. "Sir! My vision is perfect! I am able to blast the wart off the backside of an Absorbaloth from six hundred feet away!"<br><br>"I'm not talking about your aim. I'm talking about how you haven't noticed the small boy has been hiding under your seat," the Doctor replied before nodding to the small boy with messy hair that stared up at the Doctor with a guilty look on his innocent little face. "Harry, your mothers are going to kill me."

				"Quite right, Doctor, but you do look pretty tasty if you ask me," Robin replied, giggling. She eyes Strax's gun nervously as it began to power up, scooting forward a little in her chair to get as far away from it as she could in the car. When the Doctor mentioned Harry, though, her eyes bugged out. Holding a hand back to him, she smiled reassuringly.<br><br>"Like to come out, sweetheart?" she asked softly. "Why did you tag along?" If he replied, she didn't hear it, for a blinding pain reverberated through her head. Quickly, she turned her face away, looking toward the window again. A small, strangled noise escaped her, but she doubted anyone heard it in the car. The message, whatever it was, was still doing its best to break through the walls in her mind.<br><br>She allowed three tears to escaped before she sucked it all up and wiped the little drips off her face. After a moment, she composed herself, and turned back toward her companions with a cheery smile.

				"I'm sorry, the message can be quite intense to Time Lords who have never experienced it," the Doctor spoke solemnly as he watched Robin recoil in pain. "I promise, once we are in range of the TARDIS it will stop hurting. The rest of the burden will be relieved by its telepathic interface."<br><br>"And Vixen raises a good question Harry, what on Earth are you doing here?" The Doctor called back to him, trying hard not to crash BESSIE and kill everyone after their near death encounter with the Rutans. "Wait, don't tell me...Jenny told you to go with me because she thought it would be safer for you to travel with me."<br><br>Harry grimaced as he took his seat next to Strax, the look in his big dark eyes answered his question, but he still nodded and quietly answered, "She said the TARDIS would be the safest place for me."<br><br>"Silly woman, she sent you into a war zone," the Doctor spoke before letting out a heavy sigh. "But, there's no point turning back now. We've wasted enough time talking and Trafalgar square is within sight."<br><br>"I will be ready to shoot any and all threats!" Strax called to the Doctor, "I shall also kill all the pigeons in Trafalgar Square!"<br><br>The Doctor's face twisted from dread to confusion to disbelief before he asked Strax in an exasperated voice, "...why?"<br><br>"To stop them from multiplying of course! Right now there are more pigeons in London than people!" Strax said proudly before bashing his fist into his chest.<br><br>The Doctor let out a heavy sigh before bashing his head against the wheel of his car, "I need to get new friend."

				"I'm fine, Doctor, really," Robin said with a reassuring smile, patting his hand. "Though I can't wait to see the TARDIS with these new eyes... I bet it'll be absolutely brilliant." Her voice was chipper, but her hearts were pounding madly in her chest. This thing in her brain was terrifying, and the closer they got to the TARDIS the closer they came to decoding it. What if she went insane? What if she killed Harry or Strax or the Doctor?<br><br>She looked down at the little boy, with his big eyes and his innocent expression. He was so sweet, so young... She couldn't allow herself to do anything to put him in danger. If something happened to her, she would do her best to fight it, no matter what the cost. She sniggered, though, as Strax declared war on the pigeons of Trafalgar Square. <br><br>"Strax," Robin said, patting his arm. "Pigeons aren't exactly the mightiest of foes. If you want your glory in battle, focus all the energy in that silly little body on keeping Harry safe." She tossed him a wink. "Because if you don't, even the Doctor and I couldn't match the retribution you'll get from his moms." Then she looked to the Doctor.<br><br>"You don't need friends, you've got me!" A sunny smile appeared on her face. "Me, a Time Lord you never knew existed, recently regenerated, containing an unknown message, who is possibly the new leader of the Silence! Wait... maybe you do need new friends." She smiled, but there was fear in the expression. "Well.. enough chat. Shall we?"

				"Well, when you put it that way," the Doctor replied before taking his head off the wheel, just in time to steer the car around a lamp post and slide it into the middle of Trafalgar square forcefully, causing the poor little car to tremble. "Poor girl. She hasn't been taken out enough. I swear if he weren't dead I would give Leftbridge a piece of my mind for letting her go unused for so long."<br><br>The Doctor put on the break and leaped from the car, circling it and opening its doors to let out his passengers. "Come on, every one out, that'll be a five quid taxi fair for traveling from West Minster Bridge to Trafalgar Square," the Doctor said before chuckling as Harry gave him a look of alarm. "<br><br>I'm joking Harry, relax," the Doctor said...right before groaning as Strax handed him a five pound note. "Strax I just said-Oh never mind, thank you for your patronage," the Doctor said with a sigh before pocketing the five pound note.<br><br>The Doctor walked to Robin's side of the car whilst Strax hopped down with a thud and then lifted Harry from his seat before setting him on the ground. The Doctor smiled at Robin before opening the door and making a grand sweeping gesture before offering his hand.<br><br>"<em>Enchanté Mademoiselle</em>," He said before leaning in and bringing his voice down to a whisper. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Even if the Silence want you as their leader, they can't have you."

				Robin smiled softly at the Doctor, finally letting a little of her fear seep into her eyes. Nevertheless, she patted his cheek gently before planting a kiss on the stubbly skin. Grinning, the fear evaporating, she wrinkled her nose.<br><br>"You need a shave, Doctor," she said. Lowering her voice to a whisper, she added, "And I know. Thank you. I trust you." Raising her voice again, she stepped out of BESSIE and curtsied clumsily. "<em>Merci beaucoup, ma bon homme.</em>" Then she grinned widely at Strax and Harry, stretching out her back. Walking to them, she patted Harry on his head.<br><br>"Don't worry kiddo," she said, winking. "We'll get you back safely." Looking back toward the Doctor, the new Time Lord's face shifted to a very serious expression, and she glanced at the TARDIS. It was even more beautiful than before, and that was saying something. Tears threatened to spill over again, but she controlled herself, a gentle smile replacing the serious look.<br><br>"Oh, Doctor," Robin said, taking a step in the TARDIS's direction. "She's... perfect."

"I hope no one particularly dislikes cars in this war. I would hate to come back and find the old girl in several pieces," he said with a frown, running his hand over one of the doors affectionately.<br><br>"Never fear Doctor, I will stand guard outside the TARDIS and make sure no one lays a grubby claw on it," Strax said proudly before marching to the side of the TARDIS and reloading his gun with a snap. He raised the gun to the air and began scoping out the skies and their surroundings, maneuvering the gun effortlessly despite its enormous size and weight.<br><br>"You just really want to fire the gun again don't you?" The Doctor asked, unconvinced by the display. Strax merely nodded in response, his face lighting up with glee as he began turning in circles, trying his hardest to find a target.<br><br>"Fair enough, try not to hurt yourself Strax. You're the only one of your species that doesn't want to blow my head off," the Doctor said before clapping him on the shoulder and giving him a small smile, which Strax gingerly returned.<br><br>"Well in we go!" The Doctor called before barging through the doors of the TARDIS. He breathed in its scent contentedly, shutting his eyes and smiling warmly as he let the warmth of his wonderful ship wash over him. "I've missed you old girl. It feels like it's been ages," he said before racing to the control panel and flicking rapidly at the switches.<br><br>"Now, step one for translating the Eternal Code is very simple, even a monkey could do it!" The Doctor exclaimed cheerfully before frowning and shaking his head. "I really hate that expression, it implies monkey's are clueless buffoons. If they're stupid then my friend Mickey is one brain cell short of being a vegtable."&nbsp; <br><br>"Now then! Step one!" The Doctor called to Robin before slamming his fist down on a large red button. A beach chair suspended by yards of rope suddenly swung down from the ceiling and rocked back and fourth violently before coming to a stop beside Robin. "Sit your bum down on this seat!" <br><br>"Oh and Harry, do me a favor and take a picture with this camera," the Doctor said as Harry lingered besides the railing of the TARDIS. His small hands juggled with a camera as the Doctor tossed it to him, nearly knocking him off balance as poor Harry struggled to grab the bouncing device.

				"You don't need stubble to be sexy," Robin retorted, sauntering toward the TARDIS. As they reached it, she hesitated, feeling the message in her head grow more and more persistent in its trying to make her hear it. Closing her eyes, she shook her head rapidly, fighting to keep it back. Turning, she grinned at Strax and gave him a little salute before following Harry and the Doctor inside.<br><br>As she stepped through the door, she stopped and clutched at her chest. Everything was just so... brilliant. So beautiful, amazing, and brilliant that Robin could hardly stand it. Seeing a TARDIS through these eyes for the first time... Well, it felt like coming home. Tears began to stream down her cheeks, and she ran to the column in the middle and placed her hand on it, closing her eyes.<br><br>"Oh, Doctor," she whispered when she finally pulled her hand away. "She's so... so wonderful. So perfect and wonderful it feels like my hearts are on fire." The smile that broke over her face was brighter than ever. "I don't even have any words..." But still she listened to him as he told her what to do... And the smile faded.<br><br>Here it was. The moment of truth. Slowly, she walked over and sat in the chair provided, folding her hands neatly in her lap. Her deep blue eyes peered up into the Doctor's golden ones, searching them for some comfort.

				"Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit," the Doctor said to her with a smile before placing one hand upon a screen of the TARDIS and the other upon Robin's head. "Now normally a Time Lord would be able to decode this by themselves, but since you have no idea how that works, I'm going to do it for you."<br><br>"This will involve reaching into your head and pulling out the message before driving it into the TARDIS. It won't properly translate until I've successfully managed to plop it into the console," the Doctor explained before smirking and adding. "And don't worry. It won't scar your pretty face"<br><br>"Now, clear your head," the Doctor said softly, gently brushing some strands of hair out of her face whilst he focused upon the task ahead of him. "Just like the Wire I want you to push this thought out of your head. Hand the burden to me and let me take care of it."<br><br>"You can take a picture by the way," the Doctor whispered to Harry before giving him a wink. "Your mother's may as well know that their son was taking part in something special. The very first Eternal Code decoding in more than two hundred years."<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"You told him to do what?" Madame Vastra's enraged voice echoed through the underground base of Big Ben. Her eyes wide with anger as she stared down at her wife, who was busy trying to avoid her wife's furious gaze by sharpening her sword.<br><br>"I'm sorry Mam, but I had to. Besides, you know the Doctor will take care of him," Jenny replied with a frown as she looked up Vastra from her seat at the center table.<br><br>"I do not care if the Doctor puts him in a fifteen foot bubble of cotton wool before taking him on his insane journey, he should not be going on search a dangerous adventure! He's just a boy!" Vastra shrieked, breaking into an uneasy walk as she paced back and fourth in front of Jenny. "You have seen first hand what can happen when he doesn't pay attention. People get killed! Remember that Oswin girl?"<br><br>"I don't think that really counts," Jenny objected before standing up and placing her hand on Vastra's shoulder. "Come on mistress, its not like you to be so distressed!"<br><br>"I am a mother Jenny, I think I have every reason to be distress," Vastra replied before breathing in deeply to calm her nerves. After a few breaths she frowned and turned to face Jenny thoughtfully. "Although... I must admit something else is bothering me about the Doctor's plan."<br><br>"I can't blame you," muttered Gwen, who was sat with her back against the cell doors with her gun in her lap. "He's gone off with the leader of the Silence. There's a whole lot wrong with that plan of his if it involves that."<br><br>"No..." Vastra spoke as she continued pacing uneasily, a look of confusion on her scaly face. "...there's something else. Something that I can't place. Something that feels wrong."

				Robin shivered as the Doctor's fingers brushed across her forehead. After battling Daleks, running from hordes of alien soldiers, facing Voldemort, and becoming a completely different person... This was still the scariest thing she had ever done. It could mean so many different things for so many people... And Robin didn't want to have that kind of responsibility. But she did, and she knew she had to do something about it.<br><br>And so, she focused very hard. She could feel the message, lurking just behind her thoughts, buried deep and quite unintelligible. Frowning, she tried to focus on it, breathing in a deep breath. It felt sort of like a pressure, there wasn't much pain but it brought on a slight headache. As it got closer, she could hear what sounded like violins, which was confusing but somehow reassuring.<br><br>With a big push, she felt the message leave her mind, traveling to the Doctor and leaving Robin panting. As she sat there, she noticed something she hadn't heard in quite some time now, not even in her own mind. It was silence, and it was lovely. A smile spread across her face, and she jumped up to hug Harry. Then she tersely looked back at the Doctor, waiting to know what the Code was.

				"That's good little Vixen, just relax and keep the flow going," the Doctor spoke calmly as he felt the rush of the message shoot up the length of his arm and swirl through his head. Its sounds echoed through his mind with all the subtly of a rampaging bull. Although he could not make sense of it, he could hear the melody of the code soar through his head.<br><br>To him, the sound resembled the sound of crashing waves, the howl of the wind and the crackling of fire, all mixed with the delicate sound of the universe that sang in the background. Infinite and brilliant its in complexity and beauty.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"You know, something has been bothering me too," Sky spoke from her position in front of the computer screens. She was gazing up at them, watching the image of Strax standing guard in front of the TARDIS with curiosity whilst stroking the top of K-9's metal head. "How did the Cybermen get into our base?"<br><br>"What do you mean?" Gwen asked, getting to her feet and stretching before walking over to Sky's side.<br><br>"What I mean is, how did the Cybermen get past our jammer?" Sky said before reaching up and touching one of the screens, turning the channel over to a picture of Big Ben. "I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I don't remember deactivating the jammer in K-9 when we reached the base. We should have been invisible to them the entire time they launched their attack."<br><br>"So what are you suggesting? Can the Cybermen pick up our signal now?" Gwen asked, clutching her gun tightly as she looked over at the empty doorway warily.<br><br>"No, I'm saying they would need to lock on to something in order to find us," Sky said with a frown. "And I can't for the life of me figure out what it is."<br><br>"No!!!" Madame Vastra suddenly yelled from across the room, interrupting the discussion. Her sword clattered on the ground as she stepped back and fell into her seat as her legs gave out from under her. A look of pure despair clung to her green scaly face, her eyes were wide with shock. "I figured it out...I know what is wrong."<br><br>"You have?" Jenny asked with concern, sliding down next to Vastra. "What is it! Whats going on?"<br><br>"Oh my beloved I'm so sorry..." Madame Vastra whispered, grabbing Jenny's wrists and clutching them between her green scaly hands.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The message decoded and at that moment the Doctor, Robin and Harry were all treated to the sound of several violins playing in perfect sync, along with the grand melody of a chorus of trumpets, cellos, organs and more. The music spread out over the TARDIS and washed over the three of them, filling their heads with its majestic music.<br><br>The Doctor looked puzzled at the console and stepped forward to flick a few switches, as if hoping that doing so would shed some light on what they were supposed to be hearing. He ran his hand across the controls for a moment before turning back to Robin and frowning deeply.<br><br>"Okay...I have no idea what's going on," the Doctor said before letting out a little laugh. "I mean...I know this music, but why someone has decided to send it through the Eternal Code is beyond me."<br><br>The Doctor turned on his feet and pressed his ear to the console, stroking his finger around the buttons as he listened intently to the music that flooded from the heart of the ship.<br><br>"This music belongs to the London Symphony Orchestra. I would recognise their performance anywhere, I was part of them for a while. I played the triangle!" The Doctor exclaimed happily as he listened to the music. "There, you hear it? The sound of the violins, the cellos, the strings and the brass. Its wonderful!"<br><br>The Doctor stood up and frowned at the console before scratching his roughly shaven chin. "But, its still wrong. What is wrong with this picture? Why did our enemy send this music to the TARDIS? What's so special about it?" The Doctor asked before shrugging. "Well, I guess if you nit picked, the only thing that's wrong with it is that it's missing the percussion-"<br><br>The Doctor froze. His body became stone. He stared at the heart of the TARDIS with a look that would have seemed more befitting of someone hanging before a chasm. His eyes were wide and his skin had paled, his hands hand begun to shake as every single piece of the puzzle finally aligned to reveal the awful truth.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Beware the child of time</strong></div><br>"It was you..." the Doctor spoke before turning towards Robin. "It was always you," he said softly before his eyes drifted over her shoulder<br><br>...and landed on Harry.<br><br>"You're right Doctor," Harry spoke as he looked into the Doctor's horrified gaze. A smile passing over his innocent lips as he stared at the Doctor with his big dark eyes. <br><br>"There is something missing from the music," Harry went on before stepping to one side of Robin and gazing up at the Doctor, his smile widening into a pleasant angelic grin. <br><br>"The drums."<br><br>The Doctor moved. Harry moved first.<br><br>The Doctor's hand was half way up to his coat pocket before Harry pressed down on the camera button. The flash lit up the area and blinded the Doctor, sending him stumbling back. Before the Doctor could regain his balance, Harry pulled out a golden device, no bigger than a cigar, and pointed it at the Doctor before snarling at him with all the ferocity of a demon.<br><br>A strip of gold&nbsp; light shot from the device and sliced through the Doctor's chest, sending him sprawling back against the console with a thud before he collapsed in a heap on the ground.<br><br>"Well..." Harry began as he pocketed the device. The ferocity vanishing from his face as he looked over the Doctor's body with a pleasant smile on his face. "That was satisfying."

				As the music started emanating from the TARDIS, Robin grew a little confused, her arms dropping from Harry's shoulders. <em>This</em> was what had been in her head? A piece of music? It made no sense whatsoever. Why would someone who apparently was so completely evil insert a piece of <em>music</em> in her head instead of something much more sinister?<br><br>Robin watched the Doctor trying to puzzle it out. If even his mind couldn't work out what it was for, then she knew they did have a serious problem. Listening carefully, a smile touched her lips as she heard the sounds of the individual instruments, playing in sync with each other. The violins, the cellos, the trumpets, everyone in harmony, creating something so much larger than themselves.<br><br>But then, she heard it too. The music seemed somehow... Empty. Like there was something missing but she couldn't work out what it was. And finally, the Doctor did. She could see it in his face as he stared at the TARDIS's console, unseeing. Shakily, Robin took a step forward.<br><br>"Doctor?" she said softly, taking another small step. He didn't hear her, or he wasn't paying attention. Apparently whatever it was that he'd figured out was much worse than he'd anticipated... And he was trying his best to cope with that. But then his gaze fell on her, and she gasped. He looked so lost... So sad... So scared. And that fright was easily the worst thing Robin had ever seen on his face.<br><br>"<em>It was you...</em>" he said, looking straight into Robin's face. She shook her head fiercely, tears welling up in her eyes, and started to speak... But then he looked past her. Toward the little boy who was behind her. Slowly, she turned, and the look on Harry's face was absolutely terrifying. "<em>It was always you.</em>" Robin looked on in confusion, and then Harry started to speak.<br><br>His voice... It still sounded like the voice of a little boy, but devoid of any kindness or innocence that it had once possessed. His eyes were full of malice and his smile was the personification of insanity. <em>The drums...</em> Somewhere, from a memory she'd picked up a long time ago from the Doctor, or perhaps something she was hearing now... She could hear them. The ever-constant drums.<br><br><strong>Boom boom boom boom. Boom boom boom boom. Boom boom boom boom.</strong><br><br>She let out a scream as Harry clicked the camera's button, and screamed even louder as he shot the Doctor. For a second, she was torn in two, not knowing who to go to. Tears were flowing freely from her eyes and she no longer cared that Harry was a little boy, because whatever was inside him was surely a monster. Jumping, she flew at him, knocking him to the ground.<br><br>"What did you do to him?" she screamed, her face wild with anger and fear. "Who are you? If you killed him, I will make you suffer a thousand deaths! I may be a friend of the Doctor's but I'm brand new and don't think for one second that I'll&nbsp; be merciful!"

				The Doctor gasped in pain as he clutched at the coin sized hole in his chest. His free hand clutched at the edge of the TARDIS as he pulled himself onto his feet, his body keeled over whilst he breathed in whatever air that he could manage to suck in. His face, now contorted in pain, turned towards Harry, eyes gazing out at him with disbelief as well as agony.<br><br>Harry just kept smiling as Robin tackled him to the ground. He didn't seem to be one bit afraid of Robin as she tackled him to the floor, in fact he started laughing.<br><br>"So you're going to kill me girl?" Harry giggled, his laugh still as innocent and cheerful as any child, yet the menacing aura about him suggested he was anything but innocent. "That's funny. You would kill a helpless child? You must be very sweet on the dear Doctor."<br><br>The Doctor let out a hacking cough and mumbled something against the controls, just before one of his legs gave way from under him.<br><br>"A very good question!" Harry exclaimed from under Robin, turning to look at the suffering Doctor with the most delighted of grins. "As you can guess the coded message isn't just a bunch of moronic apes playing silly little instruments. It's actually a lot more than that."<br><br>The Doctor reached towards Harry, his bloodied lips weakly forming words as he gazed helplessly at the two of them.<br><br>"Its actually a rather ingenious way to pull off something impossible," Harry said before winking at Robin. "Its the landing lights that will guide these fellas in."<br><br>An unearthly sound was heard echoing through the TARDIS. The fantastic melody of time and space that the TARDIS danced to every time it made its journey. Except this time, the sound didn't bring wonder, it brought shock and despair.<br><br>The Doctor's eyes widened as something began to materialize on the deck of the TARDIS, a huge stone pillar with an ugly gargoyle perched on top of it. Although he was choking on and coughing up his own blood he managed to force out one word, "Impossible."<br><br>"Not at all," Harry chuckled fiendishly before looking towards the pillar. "Take her away," he called, just before six figures moved out from behind the pillar. Huge white aliens with bulbous heads, dressed in a black suit and tie that could well have been part of their own skin with their leathery exterior.<br><br>The Silents regarded Robin with interested before walking over to her slowly and pulling her off of Harry. One of them gazed over at the crippled Doctor before asking in a haunting voice, <em>"What shall be done with him?"</em>

				Robin looked back toward the Doctor with despair. She could see that he'd been hurt, though the fact that he was still able to stumble around was some small comfort. Her eyes filled with rage when she looked back down at Harry... Or whoever he was. <br><br>"You are most certainly not an innocent child," she growled at him. "And like I said, if the Doctor dies you will have me to deal with." <br><br>Then she looked with some confusion at the TARDIS. If the music wasn't some clever way to make the Doctor realize who Harry really was, what could it be? Everything had gone so insane so quickly it felt to Robin as though her head was spinning. <br><br>As the... Thing... Whatever it was... Started materializing inside the TARDIS, Robin gasped. It wasn't possible... For something to show up inside this wonderful machine... But when the Silents appeared, she knew they were there for one thing... Her. <br><br>Those purple-tinted eyes looked at the Doctor with more fright than they'd ever done before. As they grabbed her, she began screaming and flailing, trying to get away but with no avail. Tears poured from her eyes as she stared at her Doctor, injured and bleeding. <br><br>"Doctor please!" She screamed, her voice almost breaking. "Please don't let them take me! You know what they're going to do and I do NOT want this! Please... Kill me if you have to, I won't go and I won't see you die! Do something!"

				The color was draining from the Doctor's face as he watched Robin plead for him to end her life. His breathing had turned to heavy pants, his blood was soaking the controls of the TARDIS and his body was quivering as the life slowly drained from him. His hand was still outstretched towards them, but it was a fleeting gesture. As the blood poured from his body, the strength in his arm drained out it, causing it to fall to his side limply.<br><br>"Got the drop on you didn't I, Doctor?," Harry said with a smug little grin as he walked towards the Doctor, leaning forwards to look him in the eye as he watched the Time Lord's life force drain away. "I assume that you have a few questions and theories. So, in terms of priority, yes, that is my TARDIS. The one I used to escape the Time War."<br><br>"I imagine your brain has been a bit jumbled since our last meeting. So I'll refresh your memory," Harry spoke before pushing a few blonde hairs out the Doctor's face. "When we fought during the Christmas Holidays, when I was in my sixth regeneration. I struck Rassilion and was sucked back into the Time War along with them. I was treated to the final days of the Time War first hand....I saw what you did."<br><br>"But, since I now had the knowledge that the Dalek's victory was inevitable. I sought a way to escape. Which was when I came upon one of the Time Lord's war rooms, filled with interesting documents and lovely lovely weapons," Harry continued before letting out a whistle and looking towards Robin. "I never would have guessed that amongst these things, expertly hidden in the great codex. Was Romana's last will and testament. Which was full of amazing things...including the identity of her long abandoned daughter. Who was such an incredibly ifted child."<br><br>"I won't bore you with how and why she was so gifted. That will be for us to discuss personally," Harry said with a chuckle. "Instead, I would rather explain how I escaped and tell you why you're brain is broken. You see, after a lot of planning and ransacking of the war room, I decided to make good of my time and recall my TARDIS from the end of the universe. After that, I made searched the universe for Romana's daughter, but frustrating I could not find her."<br><br>"Then it struck me," Harry said before jumping onto the console and taking a seat next to the Doctor. "You're awfully good at finding people. And you're so good at making enemies, like the delightful Silence. So why don't I just use your tracking skills to sniff the girl out."<br><br>"Naturally, it wasn't easy gaining there trust, but eventually we came to an agreement and devised a plan. Hence, this little tournament. I would go into more detail but we don't have <em>that</em> much time. In short, the plan was brilliant, especially the first part," Harry said before leaning in and whispering into the Doctors ear.<br><br>"The first part...involved me luring into a trap and having a Silent kill you, while you yapped away," Harry breathed before letting out a hysterical laugh. "It was an amazing sight! You were so focused on me that you never saw the memory proofed Silent agent until it was too late! He zapped you and then you regenerated. And once you were done you awoke on the deck of your TARDIS with no memory of how you got there. An obvious effect of being killed by a Silent. You forgot you were dieing the moment you turned away. When you regenerated the memory proofing effect caused it to go wrong and give you the horrible amnesia you now suffer from."<br><br>"Everything was planned out, Doctor. From your regeneration to the Silent agent that had stowed away inside your ship since the beginning," Harry spoke before hopping off the console and walking away. "And it all builds up to this... the Earth in ruin, your friends being ambushed by the Silents that I employed in that little base of theirs, the Silence at my command and of course..." Harry walked toward Robin and gestured for to the Silence.<br><br>They shoved Robin to her knees, until she was at eye level with Harry. He smirked before reaching out and stroking her cheek tenderly. "I get the girl," he said before throwing back his head and laughing loudly.<br><br>The Doctor stared into Robin's eyes from his spot on the console. His golden eyes were losing their fire, but he still managed to look deep into her eyes as he lay wounded and helpless on the machine. He took a painful breath in before saying softly, "I will save you."<br><br>"No you won't," Harry spoke with a smile before motioning to the Silents, who proceeded to drag Robin to her feet and haul her towards Harry's TARDIS. "I'll tell you how this is going to go Doctor. I'm going to win. You're going to loose. The Earth is going to burn and millions will die. A new planet of Gallifrey will rise and you....you will fall to me."<br><br>Harry followed the Silents into the TARDIS, each of them disappeared into the stone door that had opened up in the back of the huge pillar. The Doctor reached into his pocket and attempted to pull out his sonic screwdriver, his skin beginning to glow golden as he lifted it towards his enemy.<br><br>"Oh, I almost forgot," Harry said as he stepped out again, the Silent and Robin following behind him. Without another word he raised the gold device from earlier and shot another beam, this time striking the console of the TARDIS, causing its control panel to suddenly erupt in white blinding light which consumed the Doctor completely.

				Robin watched the scene unfold with mounting horror. The Doctor was obviously dying, and though she knew he could regenerate, it would take precious time that they did not have. The Silents had her, and this horrible little boy was obliterating her world and everything she'd ever loved. The tears continued streaming from her blue eyes, pattering softly on the floor. <br><br>She'd thought she'd seen bad things in her life. Just in the last few days she'd seen more people die than anyone should see in a lifetime. But nothing - no war footage, no murderous aliens, no good people getting snuffed out like a candle - compared to what she was witnessing in the TARDIS at that moment. To see the life draining out of the Doctor was heartbreaking, so much so that she cried until she had no tears left.<br><br>This man, this incredible, beautiful man, was slowly dying. His arms were going limp and the color was seeping from his face. His golden eyes, so full of life and fun and mischief, were fading away. Robin closed her eyes and focused on the little boy, trying to discover his identity. Softly, she heard that drumbeat again, and then a single word... Master.<br><br>So this was the Master. This man was killing her Doctor and stealing her to bring about the destruction of the world she loved so dearly. An enemy she'd seen in the Doctor's memories and heard him speak of with such anger and sadness. Robin looked back at the boy she'd thought was named Harry, hatred filling her face. If it was the last thing she did, she would punish him.<br><br>Every word he said slammed into her mind with all the force of a wrecking ball. His plans... His schemes... All of them revolved around her. What he could possibly need her for after this, she had no idea. Maybe he would kill her.. And maybe she would prefer that to whatever life was ahead of her. <br><br>When the Silents shoved her to her knees, she looked straight up into Harry's - the Master's - eyes, trying to look at him with all the fire that the Doctor would have. He touched her face and she tried to jerk away, but the Silents held her in place and she shivered. Even his touch was cold.<br><br>Robin looked back at the Doctor and saw that he was looking at her as well. His eyes, his fading eyes, still tried to look strong for her. This time, though, she couldn't keep the fearful expression from her face. A choked sob escaped her when he told her he'd save her. She tried to smile, but her face wouldn't obey her... But she managed to force the smile onto her face.<br><br>"You already have," she whispered, unsure if the Doctor could even hear her. Then, the Silents were yanking her to her feet and pulling her toward the Master's TARDIS. She screamed several times, the only word being "No!" Over and over she screamed, whether in denial or fear she didn't know. <br><br>Then, though, the Master was walking back out, and the Silent holding her brought her with him. And then the Master made her watch the most horrible thing she'd ever seen... The white light engulfing the Doctor. Robin's screams, then, were so loud they echoed through the empty Trafalgar Square. <br><br>Her Doctor... Her Doctor was gone.

				The Master's laugh was so loud that it nearly blocked out the explosion from the TARDIS. He walked into his own machine with the Silence following behind him, dragging Robin as she kicked and screamed, leaving the Doctor to his fate.<br><br>After stepping inside the TARDIS he looked at the Silence and the Robin before making a chopping motion with his hand and saying, "Knock her out and once she's unconscious, bind her."<br><br>He turned his back and clicked his fingers as they moved further into the TARDIS. The last thing Robin would see, would be the sight of the Master's back and bright light washing over him.<br><br>No one rushed to help her as the Silence knocked her out. No heroes. No madmen. No saints. No sinners. No friends.<br><br>Robin, was alone.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"Wakie-wakie Robin Baker," the shrill voice of a child called out as Robin regained her senses and gazed upon the smiling angelic face of the Master. "Oh wait, isn't your name Vixen? Is that what you prefer to be called? A saucy name for a saucy Time Lord?"<br><br>Robin was strapped to a table that lay suspended in midair, right in the middle of a huge dark room. The only light that could be seen was the dim glow of white crystals that spiraled inside a large tube, positioned amongst a ring of controls that lay to the right of the table. <br><br>It was obvious where they were, the main deck of the Master's TARDIS.<br><br>In comparison to the Doctor's, this place was devoid of any fun or excitement. Instead of cheerful bright colors and bronze piping, the Master's TARDIS was a room of shadows, illuminated only by the heart of the TARDIS. In a way, it more resembled an interrogation room belonging to an old fashioned detective or perhaps an commanding officer at war time. Compared to the Doctor's TARDIS, this place was dead and cold.<br><br>Standing over Robin was the Master, still dressed as little Victorian Harry. His smile cheeky and bright, as if he had just pulled a harmless prank on her rather than doom her world and kill all of her friends.<br><br>Besides him stood several Silents. Each of them still and focused on the scene with their vacant expressions.<br><br>"So go on," the Master spoke with delight as he leaned down and looked Robin in the eye. "Ask me the questions you're dieing to ask....and then tell me how the Doctor is going to stop me."

				Robin thought she hadn't had any tears left, but she found she was mistaken. As they dragged her into the Master's TARDIS, she bawled again, her raw throat now only allowing her to make choked sobbing sounds. She moaned, over and over, the same word... "No." It wasn't fair, the Doctor couldn't be gone, he would save her. <br><br>He had to.<br><br>And that was her last thought as her vision faded away.<br><br>---<br><br>When she came to, she saw that the past hour or so hadn't been a horrible nightmare after all. Her face felt sore and puffy, her throat was completely dry, and she couldn't move. Looking around, she saw that she was on a table and the Master was standing before her, still wearing the disguise of Harry. Distaste and hatred filled her eyes as she looked at him.<br><br>His TARDIS was almost the opposite of the Doctor's. There was no light or life in the room, only shadow and the lone, ominous pillar in the middle. It was so, so wrong. A TARDIS was supposed to be a joyful place, full of the personality of its user... Though Robin supposed that this place really did sum up the emptiness that was inside the Master.<br><br>She gazed into his cold eyes as he spoke, wishing that she could claw them out with her fingernails. Since she couldn't move, however, she had to resort to picturing the event in her mind. But she did have questions.<br><br>"What are you going to do to me?" she asked, her voice barely even a croak. "What did you do to the Doctor? Why the hell are you here?" More tears started falling from her eyes, but those eyes were fierce and alive. "And I don't know how he's going to save me, but he will. You just watch." With that, she spat in his face, hitting him squarely in the eye.

				The Master let out a shout of outrage as the spit hit in the eye. His tiny hands reached to his face and wiped it out of his eye furiously before he looked down at Robin and slapped her. A light snapping sound echoed through the TARDIS upon contact, but the Master didn't look pleased with the damage he had caused.<br><br>"Curse this stupid youthful body. Six menacing bodies and a few atomic cocktails to stop myself from falling to pieces and this is what I become. A child!" The Master sneered before hopping down from the table and snapping his fingers at the Silents. "Bring me the machine. I'm sick of this form."<br><br>"And to answer your question, I killed the Doctor," the Master said, flashing Robin a sadistic grin whilst the Silents stepped back into the shadows. "I blew a hole through him and then I shot his TARDIS," he said before pulling out the gold device from earlier and wiggling it tauntingly in front of Robin. "And I did it with this, my pint sized Laser Screwdriver."<br><br>"Obviously I just crippled the TARDIS. I wouldn't want to blow it up. If the Doctor ever told you about the incident with the Pandorica he would tell you about the fuss that it causes," the Master said before chuckling and pocketing the device. "If he didn't, then I guess you should feel pretty sad, because now you won't get to hear that story."<br><br>"And it is all your fault Robin," the Master said before resting his arms on the side of the table and staring at her fondly. "Because you my dear...you're the cause of all of this."

				Robin laughed when the Master hit her. She could feel herself slowly losing it, her sanity seeping out just as the Doctor's life had in front of her eyes. So she laughed, and continued laughing until the Master in the small boy's form spoke to her again. Then she looked at him again, everything draining from her face until all that remained was a cold mask.<br><br>Pandorica... She remembered that word. She'd never heard the story but she remembered an echo of it from the Doctor's memories. But still, the words the Master spoke made no sense to her. So she continued to stare, waiting for him to finish. <br><br>"You didn't kill him," she said, her voice completely flat. "He'll find a way back. He always does." Then she smiled at him, though the look didn't even touch her eyes. <br><br>"Humor me. Why is this my fault?"

				"Because you are the prodigy," the Master replied, tilting his head a little to meet her gaze more comfortably. "You are the Star Child. The Master Mind. The Great Brain. The Menacing Thought. Hundreds of races have hundreds of names for what you are, but if I were to pick a word, I would go for...the Harbinger."<br><br>"You see Robin, the reason why Romana blasted you to Earth, wasn't just because of the Time War," the Master spoke before taking a seat on the edge of the table. "The other reason was because you possessed something that could have tipped the tide of the war. A psychic ability like no other. Something that if trained properly, could enslave an entire race."<br><br>"You've seen the power of your mind. Even when you were just a miserable little ape, you could still harness a fraction of your power," the Master said whilst his legs kicked back and fourth underneath him. "The Time Lords were waiting for a child like you to come by. Some of them feared you, some revered you and some wanted to use you as a weapon."<br><br>"Guess which category I fall into?" The Master said before stroking down her face with one finger and brushing a few hairs out of her way. "The Doctor has told you about the fall of Gallifrey, has he not?"

				Robin listened as he spoke, her eyes narrowing with every new name he assigned to her. This couldn't be true. She was just a Time Lord, like any other, maybe with a little extra psychic ability but nothing so potent as what the Master was saying. She couldn't be the person the Time Lords had been waiting for... Or who they had feared. It just wasn't possible.<br><br>She tried to do something with her mind. If she possessed these extra powers, she figured she could somehow use them to get the Master to let her go. But no matter what she tried... Nothing. Her brain was just a brain, the same as the Master's or the Doctor's. This just made no sense to her. Make her into a weapon... Robin shook her head and looked into the Master's eyes.<br><br>"First, if you touch me again I'll find a way to cut your hand off," she said through gritted teeth. "Second, I think you're very mistaken about me being this... Harbinger. And third, no, he hasn't told me. All he said was that it was in something called the Last Great Time War between you guys and the Daleks."<br><br>---<br><br>Strax had heard what was going on in the TARDIS. He heard the screams and all that loud banging, and he looked left and right to see if there was an approaching enemy. Hefting his gun, he walked around the police box twice, scanning the area with his shrewd eyes. Finally, he returned to the door, trying to figure out a way in.<br><br>"Shall I blast it with Starledemar?" he asked himself, scratching his head. Then it occurred to him that the door might be unlocked. When he tried it, sure enough, it opened. But what he saw shocked him. Robin and Harry were nowhere to be seen, the TARDIS seemed to be damaged, and the Doctor was prone on the floor, looking inches from death. Strax rushed in and kneeled beside him.<br><br>"Doctor! What is happening! Where did the boys go?" When the Doctor did not answer, he checked for a pulse, finding a faint one. For a moment he considered shooting the TARDIS to get it to do something, but he thought that might be a bad tactical move. Instead, he walked to the console and began madly pressing buttons. <br><br>All the sudden, the TARDIS shot into motion, doors slamming shut and thing sparking all over the place. It knocked Strax onto his bottom and he shouted.<br><br>"Cursed Time Lord technology! I declare war on the TARDIS!"

				"Yowza, you certainly have a bite to you. I like that," the Master giggled, the same way a normal child might giggle if they were to hear a funny joke. "Well, its a boring story anyway. The Time Lords died and it was all his fault in the end. He couldn't save Gallifrey, he couldn't prevent them from resorting to mad plans. Instead, he decided to be an executioner and wipe out every single one of them. In vain!"<br><br>"Its laughable girl. Its a laughable as that stupid drum beat the Time Lords put in my head to try and bail themselves out of the jam they had gotten themselves into," the Master laughed loudly, but it didn't last long. Gradually his laughter died out and the sick delight on his face drained away as he stared into the air with a mixture of horror and rage. <br><br>"I still hear it...the drumming. Despite everything. Ru-tu-tu-tum...Ru-tu-tu-tum...Ru-tu-tu-tum," the Master began to drum his fingers against the tables surface as he stared into space. "Ru-tu-tu-tum...Ru-tu-tu-tum...-Ru-tu-tu-tum...again and again and again and again."<br><br>For a moment it looked as if the Master might either burst into tears or fly into a fit of rage. His small hands clenched into fists before he shook his head violently and let out a short, albeit hesitant, laugh.<br><br>"Anyway, enough about me and the Doctor, lets get back to you," the Master said turning back to Robin and smirking at her smugly. "You're right to think that your not this fabled being. You can't enslave a race with your mind, but believe me, you are who I say you are, because I do not make mistakes!" He hissed before continuing with his mad rambling. "You're young, you still can't properly use the psychic power you possess, but it there, laying dormant inside of you. Luckily, I know how to tap into it."<br><br>"And do you know how I can prove that my dear?" The Master asked before drawing one knee into his chest and winking at her. "I can prove it, by making you cripple the human race."<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The Doctor's body was limp and seemingly lifeless when Strax checked on him. He still lay against the TARDIS, his shaggy hair covering his face and his eyes shut peacefully. If anyone looked at him they might say that he looked at peace....but anyone who had actually seen what had happened to the Doctor would have been disturbed. For even though he had been engulfed by an explosion, the Doctor's body was still in one piece, give or take a few burns and scratches and the hole in chest.<br><br>He didn't respond to any of Strax's comments or warn him not to do anything stupid, but he did speak softly. One quiet collection of words that tumbled from his lips with a hoarse whisper. <em>"I will save you..."</em><br><br>The TARDIS began its journey and let out a horrid grating sound as it moved. The area that the Master had shot was now being covered by the Doctor's body and now that it was in flight, more burst of white and gold light were soaring out from under him and grabbing at the air. Slowly, they began to wrap around the Doctor, enveloping him in the glittering vapors.<br><br>The TARDIS let out another scrapping noise before violently shuddering. Whatever journey it had just made had taken all it had left to complete.

				Robin listened as the Master spoke, her eyes following each facial expression. He was completely mad... Completely devoid of any sort of compassion, even for his own race. Robin knew that the Doctor had had to do terrible things in the Time War, but the Master didn't look as though he felt as much remorse as the Doctor did. And the Master had done much worse things.<br><br>As he told of the drumming, Robin could hear it again. It pounded away inside the Time Lord's skull, insistent and unending, through time and space and death. For a moment, she almost felt sorry for him... Hearing that noise through an entire Time Lord existence could have driven anyone mad. But then she remembered what he'd done to the Doctor, and what he was planning for her, and her pity was erased completely.<br><br>"I won't let you," she said flatly, her blue eyes hiding the rage she felt. "I won't let you and the Doctor won't let you. There is no way I will ever allow you to use me as a weapon against this planet. I may not actually be from here, but this is where I grew up, and I love each and every person down there. You're sick, Master. You are the sickest person I have ever known in my entire life."<br><br>A little of the rage she was feeling seeped into her eyes then, lighting them up with a violet fire. But almost as soon as it appeared, it dissipated, and it was replaced by something else. Something that didn't seem to fit her current situation... It was laughter.<br><br>"And you know what sick people need?" She smiled, her bright white teeth showing as her lips drew back. "A Doctor."<br><br>---<br><br>As the TARDIS threw them through space, Strax shouted. He shouted at the Doctor, at the TARDIS, at his gun. His squashed face never stopped contorting as he clung to the console of the TARDIS for dear life... But he stopped shouting as he watched the Doctor. Somehow, he heard the Doctor's words even over the din of the TARDIS in flight, and when they stopped, he ran over to the Time Lord on his stunted little legs.<br><br>"Doctor," he said in his gruff voice. "Where have they gone? Did the boy Robin kidnap Harry? I will eliminate it!" But then he peered down at the Doctor, noticing the hole in his chest. Quickly, he pulled out a device that looked something like a scanner and held it above the wound.<br><br>"Neither of your hearts is damaged, sir," Strax said. "I believe I can fix the wound." He was interrupted, though, as a pounding noise came from the door. Strax looked at the door in confusion as a voice was heard shouting.<br><br>"Doctor!" it said, the panic evident. "Doctor! Robin! Are you in there? It's me, Allen!" Strax stood, hefted his gun, and opened the door. Outside stood a young man, with curly red hair and freckles. Robin's brother Allen, though of course Strax didn't know that. He pointed his gun at the human boy and snarled. Allen threw up his hands and took a frightened step back.<br><br>"Stay where you are, human girl!" Strax shouted, his scowl menacing. "Doctor, shall I eliminate the threat to your safety?"

				"You are impossible," the Master cursed after Robin was done with her heroic speech. He hopped down from the table and angrily kicked the TARDIS's controls with his little foot, hissing as a jolt of pain shot through it before he rounded on Robin. "You watch the Doctor die. You insist that he's coming to save you. You are in a completely hopeless position. Yet you insist on fighting the inevitable. Your friends are being slaughtered as we speak by every single enemy the Doctor has ever faced. Yet still you hope!"<br><br>"Robin or Vixen or whatever you want to be called. You are a silly little girl!" The Master shrieked. He panted heavily as he recovered from his tantrum, his cheeks were flushed red from his outrage, but after a few breaths he regain his composure. <br><br>"And you are going to help me break the humans, do you know why?" The Master's smirk returned as he gazed at Robin. He bent down next to her ear before whispering softly. "Because you've already done it," <br><br>"The person who speaks on the zeplins and in the message sent the Silence, is you. A precious little collection of video clips was sent to me by my future self containing these valuable weapons and in each of them it contained your voice and your psychic command saying exactly the deadly words that made them brain dead," the Master said before chuckling into her ear. His breath was surprisngly cold despite how close he was to her body.<br><br>"Do you understand what this means girl? I hope you do, because its very simple," the Master said before grabbing her neck and throttling her with his little hand. "You have to do it! By sending the video to me the point has become fixed! If you don't do it, then all of time will collapse!"<br><br>The Master threw back his head and howled with laughter, pointing at her mockingly like any schoolyard bully, "So tell me... do you still think you have a chance at defying me?"<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The light began to fade as the door opened and the bright sun of Florida filled the TARDIS. The vapors of glitter had retreated into the Doctor's skin and circled around the wound. Slowly, his eyes began to open and a lazily smile cross over his face as he lifted his head off the console and turned towards the open door.<br><br>"Hmmm...?" The Doctor began as he gazed as the two with half closed eyes, peering through his eyelashes whilst he smiled at them with rosey cheeks. It was almost as if the Doctor believed himself to be waking from a pleasant nap rather than a near death experience. When he saw the giant gun pointed at poor Allen, he shook his head before slowly raising himself off the damaged console and shaking his head briskly.<br><br>"No, no, no, put down that weapon you buffon," the Doctor hissed as he got to his feet and began to stagger towards them, clutching his back with a groan. "And will one of you please do the decent thing and get me a cane? A man of my age cannot be expected to walk about when I am so heavily wounded!"<br><br>The Doctor suddenly froze on the spot. Something was wrong. The words he had just spoke felt wrong.<br><br>Although he said them in his voice, he had said them in a manner that made the tone of his words sound older and a bit more pompus. His golden eyes started shiftting left and right as he mulled over the thought whilst his hands reached up to the sides of his duffle coat and grabbed them lightly before sticking his chest out and saying, "Oh dear, this is quite alarming."

				"Maybe <em>that's</em> what everyone should just call me," Robin said conversationally, her face thoughtful. "Impossible. I've been called that several times today. And for your information, I did not watch the Doctor die. I watched you shoot him and then I saw him get enveloped in the light of the TARDIS." Then she looked at the Master almost conspiratorially. <br><br>"I know that, for most people - you included - that would mean that the Doctor was killed," she asked, her voice softening. "But do you know what I think?" Her smile was dazzling, her blue eyes bright and cheerful. "I think that the TARDIS is a part of the Doctor. They're basically friends. The TARDIS would never kill the Doctor. So I think she's healing his wounds." She let the thought sink in for a moment.<br><br>"And so I may have to let you record my voice. I may have to say the words that will cause my friends and family to fall into that horrible sleep. But I will never, <em>never</em> break for you. I will find a way to get the Doctor to me and he will beat you." She smirked at the Master and winked. "I mean come on. How many times has he already done it?"<br><br>---<br><br>Strax hesitantly lowered his gun at the Doctor's orders, still giving Allen a harsh look. Allen looked quite relieved, his blue eyes darting between Strax and the Doctor, unable to focus on just one. After all, the Doctor was the only alien he'd ever met, and he looked so... human. Strax, however, did not. If he wasn't so afraid, Allen would have grinned.<br><br>Then he noticed something. Someone was missing from the TARDIS.<br><br>"Doctor," Allen said, his voice growing fearful. "Where's Robin?"<br><br>"The Time Lord woman has absconded with the boy Harry!" Strax barked. "When she is recovered she will be destroyed!" Allen was alarmed.<br><br>"I don't think you know who I'm talking about... sir," Allen added, eyeing Strax warily. "Robin is my sister. She's a human. Doctor, please tell me what's going on... Everyone is asleep and Robin's gone and... I don't know what to do."

				The look on the Master's face turned sour. For a moment it looked as if he really would kill her as he gripped the laser screwdriver tightly in his hand, but then his gaze shifted to the shadows as a scraping sound was heard in the darkness.<br><br>"Oh good, you have it," the Master said cheerfully as two of the Silents walked out from the darkness, carrying with them a huge metal device that resembled a giant white pillar with several chambers, full of bubbling blue liquid, dotted around its surface. It scrapped across the floor as they pulled it into the light and the Master walked towards it before fondly stroking the exterior.<br><br>"You will loose your faith, girl. I can guarantee that, but seeing as you won't take me seriously while I look like a pitiful eight year old child, I'll just have to do something about that," the Master called back to Robin before pushing a button on the side of the machine. The doors opened slowly with a hiss revealing a pristine white and blue interior.<br><br>"A little something that I picked up from an old battle between me and the Doctor. I really should thank Professor Richard Lazarus for being such an unbelievable idiot," the Master said before stepping inside and grinning at Robin. "See you in a minute my dear. Try not to fall in love with me at first sight."<br><br>The door closed behind the Master and the machine began to hum as it began its operation. The blue liquid in the chambers began to glow along with the inside of the machine. Light seeped out from the spaces and cut through the darkness whilst veins of electricity curled around the machine. The Silents took a step back warily as the machine began to beep ominously and rattle on the spot whilst the Master inside began to scream in pain.<br><br>Eventually, just as it looked as if it might explode, the machine ceased its rattling and came to a stop. The doors swung open with another hiss and the machine vomited a thick cloud of mist just before a dark figure stumbled through it with a groan.<br><br>"There...thats better," the Master huffed as he stepped out into the light before chuckling weakly to himself.<br><br>The person who stood before Robin was no longer the small child she had seen a few moments ago. In front of her now stood a man. His hair was dark and curly and his face was bristled, much like the Doctor's, but where the Doctor's eyes burned golden with excitement and warmth his were dark, wild and crazed. He wore nothing, but showed no embarassment. In fact he seemed to enjoy gazing over the muscles of his new body.<br><br>"Get me something ta wear," the Master spoke to the Silents before laughing loudly and clutching his throat with surprise. "Oooo would you look at that? I've got an Irish accent now. Must have crossed a few wires when rejigging it to match my biological signature." The Master cleared his throat before saying loudly; "They're after me lucky charms!"<br><br>He howled with laughter, banging his fists against the machine in hysterics while the Silents appeared again, this time with a black coat and a pair of trousers.<br><br>"I like it! I like my new accent. The Irish were a funny lot, particularly the IRA. Big fan of their bombs," the Master chuckled as he took the clothes and pulled them on.<br><br>Once he was done changing he turned to Robin with a maniacal look in his dark eyes before grinning broadly and running his tongue across his new, older teeth. "Now girl...lets see what I can do to break your faith"<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"Will you both cease your chatter? I am grievously wounded and have been subjected to violent radiation that now spews from the open wound of the heart of the TARDIS!" The Doctor grumbled, much like an old man, before letting out a groan as he clutched his back and stretched out. He frowned and brought his hands up to his face, looking over them curiously before letting out a heavy sigh of frustration.<br><br>"Well...this can't be good..." the Doctor mumbled before looking past his hands at Harry. He looked startled before dropping his hands and walking over to him, slapping him on the shoulder affection before he beamed at him. "Sorry my boy, I imagine you must be quite perplexed as to what is going on. Allow me to fill you in."<br><br>"This is my associate Strax. He is a cloned alien from a race called the Sontarans. He is dimwitted and certainly not harmless, but he is quite good company when he is not holding a gun. Unfortunately in this case, he is." The Doctor's hands returned to their position at the top his coat and gripped the open sides before striding to the TARDIS and looking over the glowing wound in its control panel with interest.<br><br>"Your sister has been taken by an old foe of mine. An arch enemy you might say. He calls himself the Master, a despicably evil minded person whose sole intent is to wage war and rule over all he conquers. I regret to say he is rather good at it and we are certainly at a disadvantage, but rest assured I will do my upmost to rescue your beloved sister," the Doctor spoke before turning on his feet back to him and smiling at the two of them.<br><br>"But first, you will have to forgive me. For the energies from the TARDIS that I have been exposed to are about to take their tole on my body and I have a feeling that I am going to be...comprimised in a sense," the Doctor said before slowly stretching out his arms to his sides. He held back his head and stared at the ceiling before letting out a loud groan of discomfort as his body began to glow with white energy, even lighting up his clothes as he got brighter and brighter.<br><br>"Oh... now this is going to be interesting," the Doctor breathed before letting out a scream as the energy intensified. His entire body exploded into white light which filled the TARDIS with an ear piercing roar.

				Even when the Master was looking at her with murderous intent, Robin remained calm. One reason for this was because no matter what, the Master couldn't kill her, or he himself would create the paradox he was so warning her against. But another reason... She didn't care. At this point, captured by the Master, not knowing what had become of the Doctor, knowing that everyone below was in there current state because of her... It didn't matter if she died now.<br><br>But then he was walking away, stroking the strange machine like it was some sort of beloved pet. It didn't take long for Robin to work out what it would do. The Master wanted a body that wasn't quite so young and innocent looking, and here seemed to be the machine that would change him. It was intimidating, Robin would give him that, its smooth metal sides stark just like everything else in the Master's TARDIS.<br><br>With a little nervousness, Robin eyed the Silents that stood guard all around the room. Even if she could manage to get free of her bindings, trying to get through all the menacing white aliens which were all gazing at her with their beady eyes would be nearly impossible. But her eyes were torn from the memory-proof aliens when the machine started up.<br><br>It was humming, and then glowing, and then rattling. The Master was screaming, as though in immense pain, which gave Robin a mean sort of satisfaction. Hopefully he was in agony, excruciating and severe. But it was over all too soon as the Master stepped out, shaggy and quite naked, Robin noticed with disgust. She looked pointedly away from him until he got dressed. Interesting... So she wasn't the only one whose accent changed with regeneration.<br><br>When she looked back at him, she took in his new appearance. His hair was down to his chin, dark and straight. His eyes were also dark, and his skin was a deep tan. The child's body of before was most certainly gone, replaced with a very muscular one. Robin thought he would have been quite handsome if it wasn't for the sadistic gleam in his eyes and the barely-concealed madness hidden in every muscle.<br><br>Yet even as he spoke of breaking her faith, Robin continued smiling.<br><br>"Bring it on, leprechaun."<br><br>---<br><br>"Okay," Allen said, trying to follow along. He turned to the Sontaran. "Hello, Strax." Then he turned back to the Doctor to listen to the rest of the story. His face grew worried as the Time Lord spoke of Robin being kidnapped by a very dangerous enemy of the Doctor's. Leave it to her to find certain danger... Something was bothering Allen about this though... Even more than the fact that his sister had been taken hostage.<br><br>Why was the Doctor acting like an old man?<br><br>He had opened his mouth to ask about this when the strange man started to explode. Allen jumped back with a shout, his hands clapping to either side of his head in confusion. Strax was flung back, again landing on his bottom with a loud grunt. As he stood, he shook his fist at the Doctor even though he couldn't see him.<br><br>"What do we do?" Allen yelled, starting to move toward the Doctor. "What do we do?" Strax stuck an arm out, catching Allen by the chest and holding him back.<br><br>"Nothing we can do, girl," Strax said gruffly. "I believe the Doctor is regenerating, and we cannot be close to him during this process or we will surely be obliterated!"

				The light coming from the Doctor was becoming more powerful by the minute. The force of the explosion rattled the TARDIS and knocked the two onlookers backwards. The energy scorched the ceiling and floor of the TARDIS, melting away the bronze and setting fire to the circuits. The periscope dangling from the ceiling came crashing down as the blast ripped through it and the pipes that crisscrossed around it causing them to unleash a cloud of steam that covered the terrific blast.<br><br>Eventually, the light died down and all became quiet. Smoke and steam hung in the air obscuring their vision and hiding whatever was left of the Doctor and the TARDIS.<br><br>For a moment, there was no sign of the Doctor, just silence and mist, but eventually something began to stir within the mist and the sound of footsteps could be heard clomping against the floor of the TARDIS.<br><br>The Doctor stepped out of the mist and coughed loudly whilst fanning away the mist irritably. He didn't seem to have been harmed by the explosion, in fact it rather looked like he been healed by it, his wounds and bruises had vanished along with the giant hole in his chest. <br><br>There seemed to only be one problem, the Doctor was entirely different person.<br><br>Where the young man in the blue duffel coat had been, now stood a thin elderly man in a black frock coat and tartan trousers. His hair was long, grey and thinning and his piercing eyes had changed from a soft caramel color to a dark brown. In one hand the man carried a cane and on the other he wore a blue signet ring, which he was now examining with fascination.<br><br>"Well...this is certainly interesting," the elderly man spoke as he looked over his form. "I'm young again. How curious..."

				Allen stared from his position on the ground as the Doctor came walking out toward himself and Strax. He had changed... To an entirely different person. Gone was the sort of silly man with his gold hair and eyes and stubbly face. In his place was an old man, with long, curling gray hair and the wrinkled face of a grandfather.<br><br>He was even using a cane.<br><br>"Who..." Allen said, his voice breaking. "What... How... Who are you? Are you the Doctor?" Strax grunted, getting to his feet. Allen followed suit slowly, still staring with fascination at the Time Lord before them.<br><br>"Of course it's the Doctor, human," Strax sneered. "Time Lords regenerate when they are about to die." Allen couldn't speak, his eyes fixed on the completely changed man before them. Finally, though, he found his voice.<br><br>"You said... you're young again?" He coughed, looking away for a second. "I don't mean to be rude, but... You look a bit older to me."

				"Hmmmm...?" The Doctor looked up from the ring with a charmed expression on his face. His smile broadened as he noticed Allen and he gave a shout of elation before striding over to him and shaking his hand vigorously. "You are Allen! I remember you my boy. You are dear Robin's brother. It is so good that I have remembered that. I feared my mind may have become altered by the time difference."<br><br>"You are quite right, I am old. What I refer to is not my physique but my biology," the Doctor said before gesturing to himself with the cane. "I am afraid that Strax is incorrect. I have not regenerated. Instead my biology has become reversed due to being exposed to the wound of the TARDIS and transformed me into something else. What you see before you is not my next regeneration, but instead my very first body."<br><br>"In other words my boy," the Doctor said before flashing a pleasant smile on his wrinkled old face. "I am the first Doctor. How do you do?"

				Allen looked on, bewildered, as this new Doctor shook his hand. All of this was flying right over his head, but he tried to just take it all in stride. He looked the Doctor up and down, knowing that had he not seen what just happened, there was no way he would recognize him as the Time Lord he knew before. Everything about him was different. <br><br>Thinking of that, Allen wondered... How old was the Doctor, exactly? If he could just change his entire body when he was about to die, didn't that mean he could live forever? How many different bodies had he gone through already? Allen shivered, taking a step back.<br><br>"Sir!" Strax said, drawing the Doctor's attention. "You must get back to a younger form! This body has no tactical advantages and this planet is in the midst of a glorious battle!" <br><br>"That reminds me," Allen said, growing sad. "What has happened to everybody? I've been... keeping the people on my street alive... but I don't know what to do for them."

				"I will admit this body is fragile and most unfitting for the task that lays ahead, but that is no importance," the Doctor said before waggling his finger at Strax. "What is important is that my mind is still in one piece! That is all I will require. So long as my mind is sharp then nothing is impossible!"<br><br>"Now to answer your question question my boy, everyone has been subjected to a psychic attack which has caused their brains to slow," the Doctor explained before tapping the side of his head with one finger. "Never fear. I am here to make sure that we get back your sister, undo the damage that has been done to the human race and foil the Master's plan. A trifle really!"<br><br>The Doctor's ears suddenly pricked up and a sudden look of displeasure crossed over his face. He looked left and right, as if searching for someone before frowning sourly and grunting.<br><br>"Well...this is most irritating. Not only am I put into this old body, but I am now beginning to hear voices criticizing my work!" The Doctor said before huffing angrily, turning in a circle and yelling. "Oh really? Well, if you think you can do such a better job than me. Then prove it!"<br><br>What happened next was overwhelming. One moment the Doctor stood with his cane raised in the air and a grumpy expression on his old face, the next minute he had disappeared and been replaced by a very thin young man in a blue suit, red tie and sneakers. His hair was long and dark and spiked up on the top and his eyes were wide with awe as he turned to face Allen and Strax.<br><br>"What?" He mumbled as he stared at the two with a gob smacked look on his face. <br><br>"What?" He repeated before looking around him in confusion. <br><br>"What?!" He squeaked before looking over at the TARDIS controls, that were now lit up by a giant glowing slash in its control board. As he took in what he was looking at the stunned expression drained from his face and a big broad cheeky grin spread out over his lips before he turned back to look at Allen and Strax.<br><br>"Awwww brilliant!" He roared before running in a circle around the TARDIS controls. "I'm back! Allen! Strax! Look at me! I'm back!" He cheered before skipping over to the two and laughing shortly before burying his hands in his pockets and rattling off, "I mean this is completely wrong. It looks like the heart of the TARDIS has bled into me and caused my Time Line to become fractured making me constantly shift between my previous regenerations. Its completely wrong but at the same time its <strong>brilliant!</strong>"

				<em>Oh, great,</em> Allen thought, <em>now the Doctor is hearing voices.</em> The only man who could possibly help them was trapped in an old man's body, rambling on about hearing voices and unable to walk without a cane. About to voice his opinion on the matter, Allen opened his mouth, but was cut off again as the Doctor began changing yet again.<br><br>Where once stood an old man with long gray hair now stood a tall, thin one with a shock of sculpted brown locks. He was wearing a slim blue suit and sneakers, and looked (again) completely different from before. He seemed a little more absentminded as well, running around and talking a lot. He was speaking so fast that Allen and Strax couldn't follow along. Finally, when he'd stopped, Strax spoke up.<br><br>"I recognize this one," he said almost proudly. "This is the regeneration just before I met you! So you are the tenth Doctor!" Allen's eyes widened. Tenth Doctor... He had died enough times to be in his tenth body. How did anyone survive traveling with the Doctor when even the Doctor seemed unable?<br><br>"Doctor," Allen said, trying to catch his attention. "I'm glad you're so happy but I think we have more pressing matters to attend to..."

				"Right you are Allen!" The Doctor roared before racing over the the console and peering over the glowing scar in its system. "We need to find Robin and find out why the Master wants her in the first place. In order to do that we'll have to track the path of his TARDIS, luckily enough that little stunt he pulled with the Eternal Code will allow us to follow the signal!"<br><br>The Doctor pulled out a pair of glasses and put them on before rapidly typing on one of the control panels keyboards. Occasionally he glanced up at the rest of the TARDIS and frowned before going back to his work. "Well I don't like the desktop theme this Doctors got. Brass pipes and steam vents? Far too steam punk."<br><br>"And look what he's done to you, poor girl," the Doctor cooed as he ran his hand lovingly over the controls. "What has the big scary man done to you?"<br><br>"Now, obviously the wounded TARDIS is going to be a bit of a nightmare to fly. I can't fully guarantee that its going to get us to wherever the Master has taken Robin, but it should at least get us close enough to make contact," the Doctor said before looking up at the crystals that bobbed inside the tube of the TARDIS. "Hopefully I can talk out of doing something stupid. The Master has always been a maniac but crippling the human race like this is something else."<br><br>"How did you manage to avoid being put into a coma by the way?" The Doctor asked Allen, stepping away from the controls for a moment to address him. "Are you psychic? Not a fan of telly? Do you enjoy wearing alien contact lenses?"

				Strax and Allen walked further into the TARDIS, and Allen shut the doors behind them. A smile slowly worked its way onto his face. Even under the dire circumstances, being inside the TARDIS was an amazing experience. A box that was bigger on the inside and could travel through time and space... It was something he never would have imagined in his wildest dreams.<br><br>He looked over at Strax and gave a sharp laugh. The small alien was sitting on the ground, polishing his gun with a sleeve. But then his gaze turned back to this new/old version of the Doctor and he thought for a second.<br><br>"Well, we were all watching the TV... But the day before we found this helmet thing. We didn't know what it did... And even though I knew I shouldn't I put it on. Nothing happened, but when my parents and I guess everyone else fell asleep, I didn't. Even when I took the helmet off. I guess it protected me somehow."

				"Good thing you did, if you hadn't then you wouldn't be able to lend a hand. I'll have to check out that helmet of yours later on," the Doctor said before wincing and swatting his ear irritably. "Yes, yes, yes! I know, we need to get moving!" He hissed before looking back at Allen. "Sorry about that, the fractured timeline has also caused my mind to clash with my other regenerations. Only a handful can reside in my mind at once but its still irritating, like having someone talk to you when you're on the phone."<br><br>"Now, lets get this engine roaring!" The Doctor yelled before pushing down on the TARDIS. It let out the horrid scraping sound again as it began to move, but the Doctor seemed ready to deal with it by constantly manipulating the controls to fade out the scrapes. "She should hold together! We'll feel a bit of time travel sickness but its better than exploding."<br><br>The Doctors eyes suddenly widened as he noticed something next to the glowing crack. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver, which was silver with a blue light bulb rather than green and gold, and scanned it over it before stepping back and scratching his head.<br><br>"Hmmm... I wonder what that means..." he said before his eyes widened. "Wait...no...YES! No! Hold on....YES! Oh that is brilliant! Completely dangerous and totally impossible, but brilliant! I'm starting to like this other Doctor."

				Strax let out a yelp as the TARDIS ground into motion. His precarious position on the floor caused him to tip over, and his huge gun pinned him down. Allen held back a snigger and tried to help the little alien up, but Strax wouldn't take his offered hand.<br><br>"I do not need the help of a puny human to raise myself off the floor!" he roared, and so Allen let him struggle like an overturned turtle. He looked back at the Doctor, still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that he'd seen him completely change twice in just the last fifteen minutes. <em>How can Robin handle this?</em> he wondered, sagging down to sit on one of the railings.<br><br>He jumped a little as the Doctor began yelling over and over, yes and no right after each other as though he was conversing with himself. Allen had no idea what he was talking about, but just stared wide-eyed at this new Doctor.<br><br>"What? What is it?" he asked, as Strax finally returned to a standing position. Something else occurred to him as well. "Also... Why did Strax say Robin was a Time Lord earlier?"

				"Because she's become one Allen. Don't worry I'll get to that later, but first of all you have got to see this!" The Doctor cheered before grabbing Allen by the shoulder and dragging him over to the control board. "Just before I was exposed to the radiation from the TARDIS I wrote a message in my own blood. See, right here?" The Doctor asked before pointing to a small sentence that was written on the controls in tiny red writing.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Take a leap of faith.</strong></div><br>"Do you know what it means?" The Doctor asked whilst he grinned at Allen with delight. "I'll tell you. Right now the TARDIS is leaking energy that is creating a distortion in time, this is what has caused my fractured time. Eventually we will need to close the wound and in order to do that we'll have to do something very very dangerous. We'll have to-"<br><br>The Doctor was cut off as he vanished. In his place now stood another of his regenerations, a tall man in a long brown trench coat, big brown hat and a ridiculously long striped scarf. His nose was long and pointed and his hair was long, frizzy and brown. He stared at the message with wide curious eyes before scratching under his hat.<br><br>"Gracious," the Doctor spoke before looking at Allen and smiling with a wide grin of pearly teeth. "I seem to have forgotten what I was saying.... Oh well never mind. Hello Allen I'm the fourth Doctor," the Doctor spoke before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a paper bag. "Would you like a jelly baby?"<br><br>The TARDIS rattled as it landed and the Doctor beamed before rushing across the floor and opening the doors. "Oh my...now that was unexpected. Allen, Strax, come and take a look at this."<br><br>Beyond the doors lay a fascinating place, a large open field leading up to a quaint old fashioned mansion that lay upon a hill top. It seemed relatively normal at first, but then they noticed the sky. <br><br>Above their heads, floating through the air like clouds, were giant buildings and planets.

Had she been a Time Lord the whole time and they just didn't know it? He had a thousand questions for the Doctor, but apparently now was not the time to ask them. The Doctor was dragging him toward the center of the TARDIS.<br><br>And there... There was written, apparently in the Doctor's blood, a strange message. <em>Take a leap of faith...</em> Allen had no idea what that was supposed to mean. And of course, just as this strange man began to explain what a good plan was, he changed again.<br><br>And then forgot what he'd been saying.<br><br>All of this was happening much too fast for the ginger human.

"You found that note that you wrote in your blood and-" But then the TARDIS was rattling around and the Doctor was running off again. Allen sighed, following him. Strax did the same, hefting his gun.

				"Ah yes! The message in the blood! Splendid idea thought up by the newest Doctor, but I don't think we should go through with it. The risks are too high," the Doctor spoke with a solemn shake of his head, his voice was so much deeper than the tenth Doctors, more deep and clear it almost didn't match his face. "For now we should just focus on finding Robin and defeating the Master."<br><br>The Doctor looked up at the sky and grinned widely before popping a jelly baby into his mouth. He chewed the treat fondly as he watched the buildings and planets slowly float through the air like bubbles in the wind. "Those aren't intruders Strax. Right now we are in a Paradox Dimension. A small pocket of space that is powered by previous paradoxes. Right now we are standing on a little field in Italy that contained such a Paradox. When I was in my sixth form I ran in to my second form during a nasty encounter with some Sontarans. Luckily there was no damage to the Time Line, but it was still a Paradox."<br><br>"Now Strax, would you be so kind as to open fire?" The Doctor asked before pointing across the field. "We appear to have company. Don't take your eyes off them."<br><br>Although the Doctor sounded cheerful whilst he said this, the threat was nothing to be smirked at. For one moment they were looking at an empty field, the next they were looking at an army of Silents, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the ship.

				"But," Allen said, extremely confused, "You were just saying that you thought it was a brilliant idea." This whole shifting forms thing was becoming tiresome, because apparently even the Doctor's own personalities were at war with one another. Allen was still staring at the sky, dumbfounded by the appearance of the buildings and planets in the sky.<br><br>Then, however, the Doctor was saying that they did have intruders. Slowly, Allen looked down and across the field... To see the most horrifying aliens he'd ever encountered (not that he'd encountered many). The most terrifying thing about them was that as soon as he saw them, he knew he'd seen them before... But for some reason he'd forgotten about them.<br><br>Strax didn't hesitate to open fire.

				"I did say that, but that was when I was in my tenth form, who was just that little bit more reckless than me. Right now I can hear him in my head, arguing with my second form," he said before jumping as Strax began to open fire on the Silents. Each one of them crept forwards and raised their long fingers at Strax, shooting out bolts of lightning at the insane warrior troll as he blasted them one by one.<br><br>"We'll be debating for quite some time once every single one of my forms catches on to the idea," the Doctor said before pulling out a device from his pocket, a small metallic device that looked like a cross between a laser pen and an old fashioned microphone. "Splendid! My possession are still the same in this form. Strax give me your gun, I'm going to boost its power with my sonic screwdriver."<br><br>The Doctor seemed to wince a little and clutch the side of his head before he cursed under his breath. "Now now number ten. We have to do what necessary and these creatures do mean to do us harm." He spoke before plugging the screwdriver into the side of the hulking weapon.<br><br>The blasts from the cannon changed again from big blue blasts to a wave of pure power that knocked down groups of Silence in one hit. They still came for them, but now they were beginning to warily step around the TARDIS as Strax unloaded shot after shot at the oncoming forces.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"Thank you very much for doing that for me little butterfly," the Master cooed as he pulled away the camera from Robin's face. She was sat on her knees in front of him, no longer bound to the table, but instead a chain leash that was held by one of the Silence. The Master looked over the video camera with amusement before popping the machine on top of the TARDIS's control panel.<br><br>"That should certainly break a few thousands minds. You should be proud for being so helpful," the Master said before running his tongue over the bottom of his teeth playfully.<br><br>He knelt down in front of Robin and lifted her chin with one finger to look up at him. Her face and body had various bruises on it from where the Master had needed to physically persuade Robin to make the message, but despite her pain Robin had continued to smile and insist that the Master would fail.<br><br>Now the Master had stopped being annoyed by her valiant behavior and instead begun to find it amusing. After all, how on earth could the Doctor beat him now? If he was not already dead he would powerless to stop his plan, not when he knew the cost.<br><br>"Even thought I'm sure you have no idea. I have to ask..." the Master began as he stroked Robin's cheek. "What do you think that message meant? The Paradox Church. Failed a thousand times. What do you think it all means?"

				Allen was again dumbfounded as the Doctor spoke. He wondered what it was like to have various incarnations of yourself fighting inside your head. However, he continued looking around at these strange white aliens, not wanting to look away from them in fear that he'd forget them again. With every shot Strax took, Allen jumped a little, unaccustomed to the ferocity of the potato-headed clone.<br><br>"You didn't tell me," he said, cringing again as the Doctor amped up the effect of the gun Strax was shooting, "What these things are." <br><br>Strax kept up his cries, but his face was filled with an almost comical sadistic glee, which only intensified with every shot he took. At one point he even laughed as he blew four of the aliens away at once.<br><br>---<br><br>Robin was shaking, her entire body having to struggle to even remain conscious, much less upright. Her knees were sore from sitting on them, and she could feel each individual bruise as though they were all on fire. Her right eye had been hit so hard that the skin around it was swollen, forcing it almost shut. Her head was spinning and she could hardly see. <br><br>Before answering the Master, she turned her head and spit onto the ground for what seemed the hundredth time. When she smiled back up at him, her teeth shone red with the blood that was filling her mouth. No matter how much she hated herself for having to record the message, and no matter how much pain she was in, she would not allow the Master to see her cry.<br><br>So far, she'd been surprised at how well she'd managed.<br><br>"Well as usual," she said, her voice barely a croak, "you're right. I have no idea. It sounds like nonsense to me." She coughed, spitting out another mouthful of blood. "But since I'm sure you're going to anyway, why don't you go ahead and explain? Not that it matters, because I know the Doctor's coming." After a second, she grew irritated with him touching her face, and she whipped her head to the side and bit down so hard on his finger that she drew blood.

				"Silents. Memory proof aliens that vanish from your memory the moment you look away. I suggest we keep this up until until we forget we're being attacked," the Doctor said before grimacing and clutching his head. "Oh dear...I appear to be changing again...." he groaned before frowning grimly. "Yes, yes, I am sure you will do a splendid job rescuing dear Robin, just be sure not to go anywhere near that wound."<br><br>The Doctor's image shimmered as he changed from the grinning wizard to a tall man with incredibly short dark hair. He was dressed in a purple jumper and a black leather jacket and fierce blue eyes that looked over the battle field with distaste.<br><br>"This is going to be a tough one," he said in a northern voice before scanning his eyes over the field. The way seemed clear, but yet the Doctor did not relax. Strangely, this Doctor did not seem to have the same excitement in his eyes that some of the previous Doctor's had. Instead, he appeared to look more fearsome and war like, as if seeing battles such as the one before him was an everyday occurrence.<br><br>"We need to make our way across the field, their should be a point that connects this plane of the dimension to one of the others. The message created by the Silence said to go to the church of Paradox. I have a feeling I know where that is," the Doctor spoke before turning to Allen and beaming at him, the harsh look evaporating from his face as he winked at Allen. "By the way, hi Allen, I'm the ninth Doctor, nice to meet you. Now run for your life and try to keep up."<br><br>And with that the Doctor sprinted across the field as fast as possible.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The Master yelped and recoiled back, clutching his damaged finger before back handing her with his fist. He snarled at her before pulling out a bandage from the pocket of his black coat and wrapping it around the bleeding digit, the grin returning to his face as he sealed off the bleeding.<br><br>"Well, since you're new to the Time Lord race, let me tell you about some of our culture," the Master said as he knelt down in front of her and grinned maliciously. "Time Lords have a little tradition when they want to marry. Its a silly process that usually involves putting on robes and walking down an aisle to silly music, but if you want to keep it simple you just need to do one thing. Tell your name to your significant other."<br><br>"Its very romantic, if a little bland, but what is more interesting is what comes after," the Master said eagerly, running his tongue over his teeth again. "After the ceremony, your betroved will make a request of you, which you must obey."<br><br>"Can you see where I am going with this girl?" The Master asked before leaning in and whispering into her ear. "I'm going to marry you. And then I'm going to ask you to do something that you will absolutely hate," he said before snickering. "You're going to commit genocide."

				Allen had just wrapped his mind around the fact that a species of alien existed that could erase itself from memories and then the Doctor was changing again... He'd thought that the day he landed in the middle of the world of Harry Potter was the strangest of his life, but this day certainly took the cake. When the Doctor reappeared, he was tall and quite severe-looking, with short hair and piercing eyes. He was even wearing leather.<br><br>Allen didn't even have time to say hi back before the Doctor was running off again. Exchanging a glance with Strax, Allen sprinted off after him, hearing Strax's battle cries as the short alien ran after them while still shooting at the disconcerting white aliens. <br><br>---<br><br>Robin bit back the urge to scream as the Master backhanded her already bruised face. It was easier, though, to know that she'd succeeded in hurting him. But her smile froze in place as he started speaking of marriage. What could this possibly have to do with their current situation? As he laid his plan before her, she listened with mounting horror.<br><br>Here it was. The Master was going to try and marry Robin, and then ask her to murder all of the people on the Earth. It was awful, it was disgusting... Frantically she tried to think of a way to get out of this without the Doctor. If he was truly unable to help, she would have to try and do something brilliant like he would have done... <br><br>Then, another slow smile spread over her lips. All she would have to do would be to make a request of her own.

				"Now I know what you're thinking. You think I'm going to ask you to kill all the humans on Earth," the Master said before getting to his feet. "Wrong girl. You're not going to kill the humans. They're already as good as dead. There would be no point in it."<br><br>"No, no, what I'm going to ask of you isn't to kill the humans, but kill everything else," the Master said before slamming something on to Robin's head, a silver crown with various wires circling it and crisscrossing over her head. "Neural Bomb. A fine weapon developed by the Time Lords to be used against the Dalek's. The idea involved hacking into the Dalek's path web and using a Time Lord's telepathic ability to blast their minds to pieces. Unfortunately, no one could hack the path web, but now that I have the Harbinger I don't need to."<br><br>"Your mind will be powerful enough to smash through the path web and the minds of every other living thing that's currently fighting away on Earth. And you won't just stop with them Robin. Like a disease your power will tear through the universe and track down every single member of the species fighting below," the Master chuckled before pulling the device off her head roughly. "All of the Doctor's enemies. Gone in one shot. It will be beautiful."<br><br>"The Doctor dead, the Silence happy and the Master victorious with a lovely little wench on his arm. It's a plan that can't go wrong," he said gleefully as he looked over the crown with deranged joy.<br><br>What happened next seemed inevitable.<br><br><em>"We have a problem,"</em> the Silents standing in the darkness spoke in their echoing hollow voices.<br><br>"Not now I'm gloating," the Master cursed, still staring at the crown fondly.<br><br><em>"He has survived,"</em> Another of the agents spoke and the Master froze on the spot. His breath caught in his throat as his body became rigid, the grin on his face didn't fade, but the look in his eyes could not hide the shock and confusion he was feeling. Slowly, he placed the crown on the control pad of the TARDIS and turned to the Silents with a slow deep breath.<br><br>"I'm sorry...come again?" The Master asked, looking amused as he stared at the Silence. Slowly, the pleasant smile on his face turned to anger and the Master let out another roar before snarling. "I shot him through the chest and used the TARDIS to blow him sky high! And you're telling me that he's still <strong>alive!</strong>" <br><br>The Master let out a roar of fury and kicked the controls of the TARDIS before tearing at his frizzy black hair with frustration. He breathed in slowly and gripped his head between his hands before shutting his eyes tight and slowly whispering under his breath, "Ru-tu-tu-tum...ru-tu-tu-tum....ru-tu-tu-tum....ru-tu-tu-tum."<br><br>He dropped his hands from his head and exhaled slowly before turning to the agents. His mouth twisted into a pleasant smile before he placed his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look at the chalk white aliens. "So let me guess... he's in our paradox dimension?"<br><br>The Silence nodded slowly.<br><br>"And he's currently waiting for us outside isn't he?"<br><br>The Silence nodded again.<br><br>"Well then...I guess we better go meet him," the Master said before clicking his fingers at Robin. "Bring the girl. If she tries to run, break her legs."

				Robin felt sick to her stomach as the Master explained what the Neural Bomb would do. It was completely horrible that such a thing even existed, even if the security was apparently so great. When he said he planned to make her be the one to get through its path web, Robin knew she would find away to kill herself before she would ever allow that to happen. Maybe she'd just need to make a Silent angry...<br><br>Speaking of the Silents... One was interrupting the Master. And as it brought its "bad" news, Robin's grin grew brighter than ever before. Even with her severely bruised face... and the fact that her eye was, by this point, swollen shut... And her teeth were red with blood... The smile lit up the entire inside of the TARDIS. And her laughter soon filled it with a happier sound than she was sure ever had been inside before.<br><br>"Looks like I was right after all!" she exclaimed cheerily in her cracking voice. "I told you the TARDIS would never kill him." As the Silents gathered her up, she smiled at the one closest to her, and it looked back at her with no expression.<br><br>"No need to break the legs, boys," she said with almost a hint of flirtation. "I wouldn't even dream of missing this happy reunion."

				The Master grunted at Robin before snapping his fingers at the darkness that surrounded them. A pathway of light stretched from the TARDIS controls, leading to the steel doors of the TARDIS, which opened with a loud clang.<br><br>Once the Master had stepped out from the TARDIS, he walked around the great stone pillar and came to a halt just before the gargoyle that perched on top of it, glaring down at the back of his head with beady grey eyes. <br><br>The Master sneered as he looked over the vast church hall that lay before them. <br><br>It was a miserable place. The room was dusty and cold and the stain glass windows were dirty and most of them were shattered. Rows upon rows of benches stood before them, unoccupied apart from three figures that sat on the furthest row.<br><br>"Interesting place you've picked," the Doctor called out, his arms wrapped around Allen and Strax as he glared at the Master. "The church from Stuart and Sarah's wedding. The church that was attacked by the reapers when Rose saved her father from being killed."<br><br>"Well, I'm planning on getting married so I thought I would save a few thousand pounds and simply hire this place," the Master called before smirking and pinching his chin with the tips of his fingers as he stared at the Doctor. "My my...what on Earth happened to you? I haven't seen that ugly mug of yours since the records in the Time War."<br><br>"Believe me, I'm finding it a bit of shock myself," the Doctor spoke as he stood up and began to make his way down the aisle. "But, I have missed this face. While I'm like this I get to be rude and angry, without being old and grey." The Doctor said before slapping the sides of his face and grinning. "This is the face that survived the Time War. This is the face that dealt with the Slitheen, the Nestene consciousness and the Empty Child."<br><br>"You would have loved me back then Robin - Sorry, I'm not going to call you Vixen even if I do think its rather saucy. Unlike the surfer dressed as Padington bear I've got some class," the Doctor called to her as he came closer to the Master. "When I had this face I could dance a mean step. You should see my moves," the Doctor said before strutting and twirling down the aisle with a spring in his step.<br><br>"Once this is over I'll have to show you what I can do," the Doctor said before his eyes narrowed on the Master. "But first, I'm going to pay back this lunatic for everything he's done to you."<br><br>"Oh listen to him talk big," the Master scoffed and folded his arms over his chest. "He's wearing a face that couldn't kill the Dalek's when it really mattered the most and yet here he stands running his mouth off about stopping me." <br><br>"Come on Doctor. If you want to stop me, you're going to have to kill me," The Doctor spoke before grinning smugly at him. "And you don't have the nerve"

				Robin grinned brightly as the Master and the Silents brought her out of the TARDIS, but as soon as her gaze landed on Allen she froze, her eyes widening as far as they could. <em>No, no, no,</em> she thought, despair seeping into her bones. <em>Why are you here, stupid boy?</em> She tried to give him a pleasant look, but he gazed at her with confusion as though he had no idea who she was.<br><br>When the Doctor began addressing her as Robin, Allen slowly turned to look back at his sister. Their gazes met and Allen's jaw dropped, his blue eyes looking like saucers in his freckled face. Robin wagged her eyebrows at him but he still looked at her with a certain amount of fear. Wincing, Robin looked away and back to the Doctor, resolving to try and talk to her brother later.<br><br>It came as a shock that he had a different face from something other than regeneration. Robin would have understood had he been in a new body, but this was one she had seen in his fragmented memories. He was a little more warlike, a little more severe... And his ears! Robin let out an absurd giggle as his ears wiggled when he turned around and strutted toward them down the aisle.<br><br>"Good thing, too, I was beginning to get tired of everyone calling me Vixen," Robin said, winking her good eye. "If you ask the Master here, apparently I'm the Harbinger, though that sounds a little more dramatic than I'd like." She spit on the floor again as she tasted the metallic tang of blood. Then she looked at the Master.<br><br>"See, you put all this faith in my psychic powers, but then you doubt me when I say the Doctor's alive?" she asked cheerfully. "Haven't you learned by now that I'm basically always right?"

				"Shut up," the Master spat before turning back to the Doctor and taking a few steps towards him with a cocky swagger. "Do you think I'm afraid of you Doctor? I've killed you multiple times and the last two times we fought I ended up controlling the Earth. Its getting easier every time. This time it was so simple that I could have done it blind folded with no hands."<br><br>"Oh come off it. You had to go begging the Silence for help in order to pull this off," the Doctor said before smirking at the Master. "You said you raided a war room before you got here. Odd then that you should decide to go running off to Reservoir Dog ET and their little gang of nutters. Surely you could cripple the Earth all by yourself."<br><br>"What's the matter? Didn't like your odds?" The Doctor asked, causing the Master to snarled and raised his laser screwdriver at the Doctor.<br><br>"I expected more from you Doctor!" The Master barked as he waved the golden instrument of death before the Doctor's face. "When your little friend Amy was taken you built an army to get her back. You cashed in every favor and brought Demons run down in three minutes and eighteen seconds." The Master threw out his arms and sneered before he spat, "Where's your army now? I'm insulted Doctor."<br><br>"Awww...did the ickle Master of all get his feelings hurt?" The Doctor cooed and mimed wiping away tears before looking past the Master at the two Silent agents. "So what do you lot get out of this? I can guess why you would want to work with the Master, he's a Time Lord that you can depend on a bit more than River Song, but you can't honestly tell me that you trust him."<br><br><em>"The question must not be answered."</em> The Silents replied and the Doctor let out a loud laugh and threw back his head.<br><br>"So you put your faith in this lunatic?" The Doctor said before turning his head towards the Master again. "What are you planning? Universal war? Conquest? Or is this just a personal attack on me?"<br><br>"No, this time its bigger than that," the Master replied before pointing at Robin. "I plan on resurrecting Gallifrey and the legacy of the Time Lords. Through the girls powers I'm going to rid the universe of every single enemy of Gallifrey. I'm going to do what you never had the nerve to do and then I am going to rebuild everything that you destroyed!"<br><br>The Doctor was silent as he looked at the Master. For a moment his piercing blue eyes were full of something besides anger. Remorse.<br><br>"It's sad. We've known each other for so long and yet we still don't understand each other," the Doctor spoke in a low voice. "You helped save all of time last time we met. You struck Rassilion just before the gates closed to the Time War. You saved my life."<br><br>"Don't flatter yourself Doctor. It was revenge," the Master hissed as he thrust the laser screwdriver at the Doctor. <br><br>Any moment now he would burn a hole right through his head, but the Doctor didn't seem to care. He just looked past it and looked deep in the Master's deranged dark eyes, until eventually he turned his head to Robin and smiled brightly, "So, Robin are you finished using this distraction to hypnotise the Silence?"

				Robin watched for a moment as the Master walked toward the Doctor. It was strange; for one brilliant enough to locate her, escape the Time War, trick the Doctor, and use Robin's powers to hypnotise the entire world, the Master was really quite thick. Here he was, blabbering on, not remembering that he had a Time Lord with heightened psychic powers tied up and desperate behind him.<br><br>So she started to work.<br><br>Robin knew that she couldn't control the entire group of Silents in the room. Her mind wasn't perfectly trained, and the Master had only gotten large bursts from her when he was hurting her. Since she was not in a state of extreme duress at the moment, she knew her power wouldn't be as potent. Still, though, it would be easy to get hold of at least five of them. And if they were the five closest to her, it could mean her escape.<br><br>Closing her eyes, she completely emptied her mind. It was a harder task than she would have liked but eventually she had completely receded. Then she imagined that her consciousness was like a rope, which could extend in tendrils out from her head and wrap around the other minds in the room. It was easy to separate Silent from Time Lord from Human, and she stayed away from those who weren't Silents.<br><br>Carefully, she selected the minds of the Silents she wanted and wrapped her ropes around their consciousnesses. Slowly, Robin drew them back into her head so that she could manipulate them. It gave her a sort of overfull feeling, like her head could explode at any moment, but she held on to them. It was so strange; she could actually <em>feel</em> the part of their brains that cloaked them from memory. With a shiver, she started to work, bidding the one which had been pulling her around to begin untying her.<br><br>Soon her bonds were off and she stood there, still keeping their minds in hers so that the other Silents wouldn't realize anything was amiss. They all gazed at the Doctor and the Master, their eyes expressionless and their mouthless faces emitting that strange breathing sound.<br><br>Finally, though, it seemed the Doctor was finished talking, and he turned his attention to Robin. She grinned brightly at him with a mouth full of blood and held her arms out to her sides. The five Silents she was controlling bowed to the room.<br><br>"Why yes, Doctor," she said. "Quite right. Would you like to see me make Jason dance? I've named this one Jason, he's the one who beat me when the Master got bored of it." 'Jason' did a pirouette, graceful as any dancer. The smile then disappeared from Robin's face and Jason dropped to the floor, unmoving. "Serves you right, Jason," she muttered, before smiling again and running to the Doctor.<br><br>"I like the leather, gives you sort of a biker look!" She grabbed his hand, ready to take off with her Doctor again.

				"You're too kind. You know, I never got to ride a motor bike when I had this face. I should give it a try if it sticks around!" The Doctor laughed before calling out to Allen and Strax. "Run you two! And if you forget why you're running then just start running faster!"<br><br>The Master stared uncomprehendingly after the Doctor and Robin for a moment as they turned and ran down the aisle. For a second he seemed not to realise what was going on, but when he did he let out a yell of outrage and began blasting at them with the laser screwdriver. He waved his hands wildly at the other Silent agents before roaring, "Get them! Get them and kill them! Kill everyone except the girl!"<br><br>Blasts of electricity snaked past the fleeing group as the Silents launched their attack, circular holes opening in the lower part of their faces whilst they wailed and shrieked in rage.<br><br>"Listen to the fuss they make! I swear, I don't know how your race didn't notice them before!" The Doctor called before letting out a cry of frustration and gripping his head. "Oh come on not now!"<br><br>His image began to flicker in and out as the switching process began again. The Doctor gripped his head and let out a groan before yelling, "All right! If you think you can help then fine, take over! But if you miss and get us killed I am going to be so cross!"<br><br>The Doctor vanished and in the space of a second transformed from the vengeful hero in a leather jacket to a baffled looking man in cricket uniform. He was dressed from head to toe in white and red and had blonde hair that was swept neatly on one side of his head. Attached to the top of a cream coloured jacket was a stick of celery and on his blonde head lay a white and red hat that matched his strange bright outfit.<br><br>"Strax! Do not make me repeat myself when I ask this," the Doctor called out to the Sontaran, who was in the process of firing over his shoulder while they ran. "Give me a grenade!"<br><br>"Are you sure Doctor?" Strax asked with surprise. "Would you rather not solve this with talking like you usually do?"<br><br>"Oh for heavens sake, give me a grenade!" The Doctor snapped before rushing up to Strax and pinching one of the many grenades that hung from his waist. The Doctor turned on his feet before flinging the grenade like a cricketball, sending it high into the air where it collided with the roof and blew it apart, sending a cloud of tiles and dust down on the Silence and the Master, who howled with rage.<br><br>"Now run! Run! Run! Run!" The Doctor yelled, his voice growing higher with his agitation and they ran through the open doors of the church, stepping out onto into what appeared to be a regular housing estate in London, if it weren't for the giant moon floating mere miles above it, casting a shadow over the entire area.

				Robin simply laughed as they ran. This was so strange, meeting the Doctor's past regenerations, seeing the little differences in their personalities and the big differences in their appearances. Though her body was sore and bruised and though she still had to spit out blood every now and again, Robin ran, her long legs carrying her much faster than her previous body could have.<br><br>Allen had started running just as the Doctor said it, still completely confused by everything but obedient nonetheless. He eventually drew even with the Doctor and who he supposed was Robin, stealing glances at her new, ravaged face every now and again. <br><br>When the Doctor changed, Robin looked over at him with a seemingly ponderous expression. Tenderly she reached out and touched his mind, wincing when she heard the number of voices in there vying for attention. She kept grinning, though, as she pulled back from him.<br><br>"Nice to meet you, number five!" she called to him with a laugh. "Might I ask why you're wearing celery?" He didn't have time to answer, though, before he'd nicked a grenade from Strax and tossed it behind them. She let out a whoop as the roof fell down on top of the Master and his alien associates. They all kept running, though, as they left the house, and Robin looked up into the sky with awe. <br><br>"Please tell me the TARDIS is here!" she yelled, feeling her strength ebbing. "I don't think I can keep running for much longer, Doctor!"

				"It's there for my protection. If the celery turns purple then it means there are harmful gases in the air," the Doctor answered, although attention seemed mostly focused on the bolts of lightning that were shooting haphazardly from the cloud of dust that they had left behind them. The Doctor frowned as he looked about the road ahead of them and then back to the church.<br><br>"Oh dear...we are not in a particularly good situation. The TARDIS is currently located on the other side of this dimension. We'll only be able to reach it if we get to the temporal link between this location and that. And I doubt we can out run them Silents while they are trailing behind us."<br><br>"Doctor, I suggest we attack the silence with plasma bombs and attack monkeys! That will stop their pursuit!" Strax said eagerly, causing the Doctor to sigh heavily and groan.<br><br>"Oh Strax do be quiet. We don't even have those things, how are we meant to blow them sky high with things we don't have!" He called out with frustration before freezing up as his image bean to blink again. "Oh...now that is a good idea. Very well, take over," the Doctor said before pulling off his hat in a farewell gesture. "Good luck everyone."<br><br>The man who now stood in the Doctor's place looked twice as old as his previous incarnation. His hair was white and very curly and his face was wrinkled but distinguished. He was dressed in a fine red velvet smoking suit over a white ruffled cravat with frilly cuffs on the end of his sleeves. He smiled as he looked around him and flexed his fingers before speaking in an warm voice, "My I have missed this form. I consider this one to be very fetching."<br><br>"Now come along everyone. If this is the area in which Stuart and Sarah's wedding took place there is bound to be a car about that I can drive. I was a bit of a car lover in this form," the Doctor spoke as he rubbed his hands together. "Strax, be a good fellow and do what you can to relieve poor Robin's pain. She'll need to be fighting fit if we are to make our escape."<br><br>Suddenly one of the Silents lunged from the doorway with its log fingers outstretched towards the Doctor's neck. Strax raised his weapon to fire at the creature as it lunged at the seemingly defenseless Doctor, but before it could lay one pale finger upon him the Doctor turned and grabbed it by the sleeve of its synthetic suit and hurled it over his shoulder gracefully, slamming it into the concrete floor.<br><br>"Just like riding a bicycle," the Doctor said with a hearty laugh.

				Robin laughed as the Doctor bid everyone goodbye, only to be replaced by yet another incarnation of himself. This day was proving to be quite interesting indeed, and from the look on Allen's face, it appeared that it was almost a bit too much. When they stopped, Robin shot him a comforting smile, and the boy returned it halfheartedly.<br><br><em>Oh, right, new face,</em> Robin remembered, looking away from her brother. At the Doctor's request, Strax stepped toward Robin, pulling out a strange looking device. But before he could do anything with it, the Silent was attacking him. With a roar, Strax jumped to shoot it, but the Doctor beat him. Everyone looked at the seemingly frail Doctor with astonishment.<br><br>"Most impressive, Sir," Strax said eventually. "It appears this form has many advantages in times of war!" He then turned back to Robin, waving the device over her. A red light washed over her skin, lightening the bruises and causing the bleeding in her mouth to stop. It also rejuvenated her, making her feel much more capable. She jumped up and down on the spot a few times before kissing Strax on the forehead.<br><br>"Ma'am," Strax said, his voice perturbed. "Please do not kiss me in the midst of war!" Robin laughed at him, slapping his shoulder lightheartedly. <br><br>"Thanks for helping out, Strax, and for always being good for a laugh," she said, her voice back to its normal pitch. "Doctor, I must say I'm impressed. What other surprises have your previous forms got in store for us?"

				"Plenty I assure you, but the art of Venusian Akido was a talent that my other forms have yet to master," the Doctor said before they hurried down the road until they spotted a small red car parked upon one of the drives of the nearby houses. The Silents continued to fire line after line of electricity in their direction, but by this point the Doctor and associates had managed to run far out of range.<br><br>The Doctor cast one more glance over his shoulder and watched as the Master strode out of the ruins of the church with dark fire in his evil eyes. A tight frown appeared on the Doctor's weathered face as he watched the Master scowl. His bright eyes met the Master's gaze and watched him carefully as he gradually became a shape at the end of the road.<br><br>"We must be quick. The Master still has a TARDIS, he will be loading it as we speak with the Silent agents and no doubt traveling to intercept us by where my TARDIS currently stands," the Doctor spoke before looking startled as Strax put his fist through the window of the car and yanked the door open.<br><br>"A little more carefully Strax! We don't want anyone injured by broken glass!" The Doctor chided before running to the car and sliding into the passenger seat before pulling out a small metal device that looked like a cross between a door knob and an electric toothbrush. He pointed it at the keyhole for the car and the machine sprung to life.<br><br>"Hold on everyone," the Doctor spoke once Allen, Robin and Strax had taken their seats and pulled the car into the road before tearing down the street as fast as he possibly could.

				"Oh, I see," Robin said, shaking her head at the Doctor. When he looked behind him, Robin followed suit, glaring back at the Master with all the venom she could muster. Her entire being yearned to give him the same pain he'd just caused her... But then again, she'd never be able to do that to someone. Not even someone as evil as the Time Lord who was currently trying his hardest to recapture her.<br><br>She, Allen, and Strax piled into the car, Strax beside the Doctor and Allen and Robin beside each other in the back seat. They all held on for dear life as the Doctor tore down the rode, Robin giving a loud shout of excitement and Allen one of fear. Then, Allen turned toward his sister, still with that confused look on his face.<br><br>"So... you're really Robin?" he asked softly, sadness in his eyes. "Really?" Robin looked at him, all the joy gone from her face, replaced by a tenderness the Doctor had likely never seen before. It was a look usually reserved for the brother she loved so very much.<br><br>"Yes, Allen," she replied, matching his soft tone. "It is. I'd love to do the explaining myself, but since I can't... here." She placed her hand on his wrist and showed him the events which had happened to transform her. When she let go, his blue eyes were wide.<br><br>"Wow," he said. "Just wow. And to think, we were looking for aliens all those years and we had one right under our roof." Then, however, he grew angry and turned to the Doctor. "She died, Doctor! How could you let her die?"

				"Allen please. I very much regret her demise, but I must not be distracted. The Master will no doubt have agents waiting in ambush in the area. I find it highly unlikely that he would have such a vast dimension at his disposal and not have security measures," the Doctor said sternly to Allen as he drove, his eyes looking cautiously at the road ahead of them. "Besides, when poor Robin was struck down it was the fault of that blonde bimbo. Not me."<br><br>The Doctor cursed and the car suddenly swerved to the right. A look of pain was on his face as he gripped the wheel tight, his teeth bared before he snapped, "It was most certainly not my fault as well! If I had been present I would have made sure that the location was sealed and Robin did not stray from my sight! I refuse to except blame."<br><br>"You cannot say that Doctor," the Doctor said to himself as his image flickered back to his fourth form, his hands still firmly gripped on the steering wheel. "If he is part of us then we must accept some of the blame. Our collective experience should have taught him better and that makes some of it our fault."<br><br>"If I had been present then we would have gotten back into the TARDIS and come up with a plan from there. All this running about is exhausting!" The First Doctor snapped as he flickered into existence for the briefest of moments before flashing back to his third form, who seemed even less amused.<br><br>"The first me certainly has a point. It seems we are becoming reckless in our old age!" The Doctor hissed before he flickered again to his ninth form, who wrinkled his nose and snorted. "Listen to them. Young Time Lords always think that they know best."<br><br>"Don't you talk that way to your superiors boy!" The First Doctor grunted as he shifted, but before he could so much as speak another word the ninth Doctor came rushing back and let out a yell, "Boy? I'm older than you!"<br><br>An insane argument broke out between the Doctors as they constantly shifted back and forth between their forms. From what could be&nbsp; gathered from the frantic banter between the grumpy Time Lords, the third and first Doctor were furiously berating the ninth while the fifth and fourth Doctors tried their best to calm everyone down.<br><br>Only when the tenth Doctor blinked back into existence did the arguments stop as he yelled, "Oi, am I the only one who is paying any attention to the road and that wall we're driving towards?!"<br><br>The arguments immediately ceased as the Doctors registered the wall of a building that they were driving towards, apparently having turned three times as they rounded a corner. The Tenth Doctor just stared at the steering wheel before yelling out, "Why have you left me in charge? I can drive a horse and the TARDIS I can't drive a car! <em>Someone else take over!</em>"<br><br>The Tenth Doctor vanished and was replaced by a funny looking man who looked the youngest of the Doctors so far. He had dark hair that was combed to one side and was dressed in a tweed jacket and bow tie, which he seemed very protective of as he rearranged it under his large chin, ignoring the impending wall until the last moment.<br><br>"Oh...I'm driving now...I'm not really sure how that worked out," the Doctor spoke before turning back to the passengers and giving them a goofy grin, still apparently oblivious to the wall that was now less than a meter or two away. "Hello everybody! I'm the eleventh and I'm driving a car!"<br><br>"Oh wait, I'm driving a car!" The Doctor cried before turning back to the wheel and hammering his foot down on what he thought was the break whilst rapidly spinning the steering wheel to the left and switching on the windscreen wipers. "Oh gosh I don't know how to drive a car either! Hang on!"<br><br>The car let out a shriek as it violently turned to the left and flipped in the air, spinning several times before landing on its wheels perfectly. The Doctor stared out with a bewildered expression looking around him uncertainly before his image momentarily shifted to the Tenth Doctor again, who immediately asked, "You mean to do that?"<br><br>"Not at all," the Eleventh replied as he changed back.<br><br>"That's a shame, because that was brilliant," the Tenth cheered as he took over and looked back at the passengers with a grin on his face. "Are we okay everyone? Feeling good? Is anyone going to be sick in the car because...I'm not really okay with that."

				Allen and Strax watched with a mix of confusion, amusement, and fear as the Doctor wildly shifted back and forth between forms. Robin was grinning widely, laughing from time to time as the ninth would pop back to the front and say something witty. It seemed that she knew each form - probably having gotten glimpses of them at some point when traveling with the Doctor - and it was quite entertaining in her opinion to watch them bicker.<br><br>"Sorry I asked," Allen muttered, which made Robin laugh even more. Then, though, the tenth Doctor appeared, drawing everyone's attention back to the fact that he was, in fact, driving a car. For a second Robin considered his face. In her opinion she like him best... After <em>her</em> Doctor, of course.<br><br>Then he was gone as well, though replaced by the eleventh Doctor. He was very young looking, and probably the most alien-like out of all of them. He had a big chin, hooded eyes, and sharp cheekbones, and was rather silly. And he was wearing a bow tie. <em>Bow ties are cool,</em> Robin remembered, before they were suddenly flipping over.<br><br>All the passengers screamed wildly, Robin with enjoyment and Allen and Strax with an edge of fright. Somehow, though, the Doctor managed to have them land on the wheels, before again flickering between his tenth and eleventh forms. Robin snickered while Allen and Strax sat, looking paralyzed.<br><br>"I think we're all right, Doctor," she said, taking in his tenth look. "And I must say, I like this version of you. Quite cheeky looking, and you've got perfect hair." Then she winked at him. "Do you think perhaps I should take over the driving from here?"

				"Awww you sweet talker. Miss Baker this new look of yours is going to get you in a lot of trouble," the Doctor said mischievously before getting out the car and motioning for Robin to take over. "Drive down this road until you see a poster with a spray painted message on it that says 'Bad Wolf' that's where the edge of this dimension ends. It should take us to the field in which we left the TARDIS."<br><br>The Doctor leaned his head under the passenger door and pointed at Strax and Allen, addressing them in turn to issue them separate instructions. <br><br>"Strax, set your weapon to stun, you need to conserve your power and I really don't want to be distracted by telling you off. Keep the psycho in you under control. Allen, do me a big favor and start keeping an eye out for anything strange. Also, if you could be less ginger that would be appreciated. You're making me jealous."<br><br>After the Doctor and Robin switched places he buckled up his seat belt and began to riffle through the pockets of his blue suit. He pulled out a sonic screwdriver, but this one was grey and silver with a bright bulb light bulb on the end of it. His cheeky grin stretched across his face, almost touching his sideburns as he flipped the tool in his hand.<br><br>"I've certainly missed you," the Doctor said with adoration before looking at the car around him. "Hold on a sec, is this a mini-cooper? Of all the cars to pick why did he pick a mini-cooper? Who are we trying to be Austin Powers?"<br><br>The Doctor's complaints about the car were silenced as a shrieking sound caught his attention. A black shadow moved over the car and the sound off leathery wings was heard flapping above their heads. The Doctor looked into the wing mirror and gritted his teeth as he looked upon an oddly formed black creature with giant wings and a scythe like tail.<br><br>"Reapers. Should have imagined that a paradox dimension would have them as inhabitants," the Doctor cursed before signalling for Robin to go. "Allonsy Robin! Ooooo its been a while since I said that!"

				"I certainly hope it does get me into trouble," Robin said with a wink before switching seats with the Doctor. Then she buckled her own seatbelt, placing her hands on the wheels to prepare for once again driving on the other side of the car. Allen groaned.<br><br>"I can try," he said, scowling at the Doctor, "If you'll stop flirting with my sister in front of me. It's disgusting." Robin laughed loudly, her violet eyes glinting with a mischievous light. Strax grumbled to himself as he switched the gun to its stun setting.<br><br>"There is no point for a weapon of this magnitude to be set to stun!" he said, though he followed orders anyway. "It recharges itself immediately and could do much more damage if I left it on its most devastating setting!" His scowl was nearly comical as he looked out the window, ready to blast away at anyone unfortunate enough to be passing them.<br><br>Suddenly, a horrible screech came from above them. Everyone looked out the windows to see the Reapers, their strange bodies terrifying and their sharp tails. As the Doctor barked at her in French, Robin smiled and punched it, shooting them forward down the road.

				The sound of something grating against the roof of the car was heard as they raced down the street. Whatever creature was lurking on the outside it had decided to attack as soon as the car went into motion. The Doctor grimaced as black talons pierced through the roof and the car screeched as its rear tires momentarily lifted off the ground.<br><br>"Come on, faster, faster!" The Doctor called before he slammed back into his seat as the car picked up an enormous amount of speed from tearing itself out of the reapers clawed arms. "Slower! Slower! Baker you're going to kill us and Strax don't you dare fire that thing while we are still moving. You'll tear the car in two!"<br><br>Strax let out a groan of frustration as he lowered the gun from an aiming position. His beady eyes rolled before he set the gun on his lap (and Harry's as well seeing as the gun was unbelievably big).<br><br>The goal finally came into sight as a poster that hung from a nearby wall, with the message 'Bad Wolf' sprayed on it, came looming towards&nbsp; them. The moment they passed by it the road disappeared and instead was replaced by an open field which contained the beloved TARDIS.<br><br>It would have been a happy celebration if it weren't for the Master waiting in front of the TARDIS with an entire legion of Silence agents standing behind. He raised his arm and waved at them as they approached, the smile on his face warm and happy, as if greeting old friends.

				"Oh, don't start calling me by my last name unless you want your new title to be Drill Sergeant!" Robin shouted as she first stepped hard on the gas and then eased off. They shot ahead, the Reaper's screaming fading slowly behind them, and Robin heaved a sigh of relief. Allen did the same, though he kept his eyes warily on the gun that was now sitting in his lap.<br><br>When they saw the poster ahead, Robin gave a cheer and Allen grinned widely. Strax patted Allen's shoulder, a little too hard, and Allen winced. But as they traveled out of the paradox dimension, their smiles all faded as the Master came into sight. Robin's eyes immediately went from their warm, friendly expression directly into a cold hatred. Allen could see them in the rearview mirror and gulped.<br><br>This new version of his sister was a little frightening.<br><br>As they drew closer, Robin slammed on the brakes and threw the car into park. Then she got out and stood facing the Master and the Silents, her face still a mask of cold indifference. Normally she would have tried to make a joke but now the things he'd done to her were resurfacing... As were the things he'd made her do.

				"So this was your plan?" The Master asked as he looked out at them with a smirk. "You do remember that I have a TARDIS, right?" He asked mockingly before pointing to the stone pillar was stood next to the blue police box. "I got here ten minutes ago. You've kept me waiting," the Master huffed before shaking his head. "This victory is disappointing. I wanted our armies to clash. I wanted hellfire and lightning, blood and sweat, death and destruction. Instead you give me boredom and frustration."<br><br>"Who exactly do you think I am?" The Doctor asked as he got out the car and took his place next to Robin's side. "Do you think that by killing the Daleks and Time Lords I'm some sort of War God? Do you think that I can just click my fingers and break planets in half? Because that isn't me," the Doctor said as he stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets and stared out at the Master with a stony expression. "I'm not the oncoming storm or a demon or a monster."<br><br>"You don't have to tell me twice," the Master spat, rolling his eyes before pointing at them. "Silence, get ready to fry them. Watch your aim, we don't want the girl grilled." The Silence obeyed immediately, creeping forwards with their arms raised, bolts of electricity snaking around their hands.<br><br>"Before you do that you may want to listen to what I have to say though," the Doctor said cheerily before taking a few tentative steps towards the Master. "Because I may not be any of those things, but I can tell you what I know I am."<br><br>The Doctor's image shimmered as he shifted from the thin an in a suit to a young frizzy haired Doctor dressed in a Victorian suit. He stared over at the Doctor with a cold look on his face as he stared him down. "I am the man who has defeated you even when you came back from death itself," he spoke, his voice light and friendly, but yet the words still carried an edge. "I'm the man who pushed you into the Eye of Time and watched you burn up."<br><br>The Doctor changed again, this time to an older, slightly plump man in a white suit and sweater vest covered with colorful question marks. His hair was as dark as his eyes that stared at the Master with a grimace. "I'm the man that thwarted you on the Cheetah Planet," he said whilst swiping at the air with the question mark shaped umbrella he held in one hand. "I'm the man who weaves plan after plan to save the world and is prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure evil will never prevail."<br><br>His image shimmered back to the Ninth Doctor, who stared down the Master coldly before smirking at him. "I'm the man that fought the Dalek's in the Time War. I was there right at the end. When you ran away" <br><br>The Master scowled and bared his teeth at the words, pulling out his laser screwdriver from his pocket. The Doctor's image changed once more, this time to a peculiar man with blonde curly hair, dressed in a startling multicolored patchwork suit with a cat pin badge pinned to its chest. He smiled broadly at the Master before looking over at Robin and winking. "I'm the eccentric warrior that can't be predicted. I'm the man that's just full of surprises...and you know what else?"<br><br>The Doctor shimmered back to his Eleventh form, which braced himself on his heels and adjusted his bow tie before smiling at him slyly and saying, "I'm the man who has been distracting you for long enough to let the reaper catch up with us," he said before turning back to Robin, Allen and Strax and yelling. "Duck and run!"<br><br>The Reaper came crashing through the portal behind them, screeching wildly as it bashed off the mini cooper and swooped towards the Master and his army of Silence. Chaos broke out as the Silence shot bolt after bolt of lightning at the creature, scrambling for cover as its scythe tail whipped at them and its talon arms dragged one of them into its gaping mouth.

				Allen and Strax had gotten out behind the Doctor, and were standing behind the two Time Lords as he and the Master conversed. Strax had his gun ready, just in case it would be needed. Allen took this time to look between the Doctor and Robin, wondering if he would ever even see his sister again after this transformation... If any of them got out alive.<br><br>Robin was listening to the Doctor and the Master speak, her face still cool and collected. When the Master ordered the Silents to begin advancing on their little group, Robin turned toward the Doctor, hoping he'd had some secret plan this whole time. It looked as though he was working up something... And apparently had a little more control now over which version of himself was in control.<br><br>The icy look started to melt off of Robin's face as he spoke. Slowly, her eyes warmed and her lips turned up into a slight smile. Here was her Doctor. Though he may have a different face, she could hear his spirit in every word spoken by his previous forms. She could see snapshots of every time the Doctor faced his enemy, defeating him time and time again through various means.<br><br>The most recent, she saw, ended actually through the Master himself, pushing a grumpy-looking Time Lord she could only assume was Rassilon back into a portal of sorts. So caught up in his memories, she didn't realize when he'd changed back to the silly-looking Eleventh Doctor. But as he straightened his bow tie, she heard an all too familiar screech behind her.<br><br>Laughing, she ducked, and looked back to make sure Allen and Strax had too. They group of them ran forward (in a way that Robin was sure looked quite humorous) and Robin grabbed the Doctor's hand, giving it a squeeze that somehow contained all the gratefulness she felt toward him.<br><br>"Hey, Doctor!" she shouted over the noise. "I'll have to admit... Bow ties <em>are</em> cool!"

				"Robin Baker you get better by the minute. I'm starting to get jealous that its not me your traveling with," the Doctor spoke as he squeezed her hand and tugged her towards the TARDIS.<br><br>The reaper was now writhing in pain as the Silence zapped it again and again and again with their electric attack. It wailed and shrieked in pain, batting members of the Silence away with its writhing as it fought against them savagely, refusing to succumb to death. In order to combat its mad flailing the Silence began to lunge upon it, trying to use its numbers to overwhelm it.<br><br>"I'm sorry," the Doctor mumbled regretfully at the creature as they ran past the creature, using its death and Strax's covering fire to dart through and force back whatever resistance was left of the Silence. Now only a few meters remained of their journey and with the Master stuck behind a wall of his own troops, escape seemed inevitable.<br><br>"Quickly, get inside! Its a long shot, but if the TARDIS has healed enough from its wound we might be able to travel to regroup with the Big Ben base and figure out how to use the psychic beacon to bring humanity out of their sleep," the Doctor said before pushing open the doors for Robin, Allen and Strax.<br><br>The moment the doors opened was the moment in which the Doctor was sent flying back as two red blasts of energy struck him in the chest and sent him tumbling to the ground.<br><br>"Did you really think it would be that easy?" The Master asked as he stepped out of the crowd of Silent agents, smirking widely as two metal orbs floated out of the TARDIS and hovered above the Doctor. Strax raised his gun to fire, but the orbs blasted the weapon out of his hands before he could so much as yell 'Die'.<br><br>The Doctor's image shimmered again as he clutched his chest, this time transforming into a short old man with dark bowl cut hair and very bushy eyebrows, that were fixed in a menacing stare as he looked up at the floating orbs.<br><br>"You mad man!" The Doctor hissed as he clutched the small holes that had been burned in his button baby blue shirt and long black blazer. "Who are those people? What have you done?!" He shrieked in a gruff aged voice as he looked up at the orbs that were now spinning needle like blades down the groves of their outer shell.<br><br>"You know, I liked this form of yours the best," the Master said as he waltzed towards them, keeping his laser screwdriver fixed on the Doctor's friends as he strode towards them with a swagger in his step. "This form of yours was so funny. I only met you briefly in this form during that whole Death Zone incident, but I heard all about the trouble you got into."<br><br>The Master crouched down next to the Doctor and grinned before pressing his finger into the Master's wound, causing him to howl in pain and writhe on the spot. <br><br>"The Daleks, the Cybermen, the Great Intelligence, the Ice Warriors and more. You were a little old grumpy trickster in this form. Always doing funny stuff to make people think you were less of threat than you actually were. You were hilarious," the Master said before laughing loudly. "And lets not forget. This form was the one that got you kicked off Gallifrey for breaking their laws."<br><br>"Who were those people!" The Doctor yelled again at the Master, gritting his teeth from the pain of his injuries. "Who were they before you cut off their heads and turned them into weapons."<br><br>"What, you don't remember them?" The Master asked innocently before clicking his fingers at the orbs. Their cases opened and swiveled towards the Doctor, revealing the wired in severed heads of two viscous looking people, a black man with stern dark eyes and an aged woman with an eye patch over one of her eyes. "You remember Madame Kovarian and Colonel Mantan, right? You ruined their lives. Now, they're the ones who are going to stop you from ruining my plans."<br><br>"You insane fools!" The Doctor roared at them as they hovered closer. "The Master does not make allies with anyone that he does not wish to conquer. If his dream is a Gallifrey without enemies, you will be destroyed along with every other race that foolishly battles on Earth!"<br><br><em>"But the question will not be answered and you will be dead,"</em> Madame Kovarian spoke through the visor that now made up her mouth. <em>"I call that a victory, whatever the cost."</em><br><br><em>"You have been defeated Doctor. This is Demons Run all over again, you have lost, just when you thought you won,"</em> Colonel Matan cackled before his casing closed over his face again with a click.<br><br>"Time Lords revived and no enemies to bring them down," the Master said with relish as he stood up and dusted his hands on his coat. "You certainly can't say you're capable of that, because the sad fact is. Even if you could beat me, its still your loss. You could never do what I would do to maintain order. You could never wipe out your enemies and thoroughly as me. That is why even if you win, you will fail a thousand times as your planet is ripped apart by the races battling on your beloved Earth."<br><br>The Master clicked his fingers at Robin and the two orbs circled around her, flashing their blades threateningly at Allen and Strax. "Don't bother killing them, I want them to watch the Doctor as he is truly beaten," the Master chuckled maliciously before snapping his fingers at Robin and pointing to the TARDIS. The Silence were now walking away from the smoking husk of the reaper, ready to back up the Master at the first sign of trouble.<br><br>"Come on girl. Time to walk down the aisle," The Master said, flashing her a devilish grin.

				Robin flashed the Doctor a winning smile as she sprinted alongside him to the TARDIS. She looked back, relieved to see that her brother and the insane but lovable Strax were all still in one piece. Everything just made more sense with the Doctor around... Even in an unfamiliar form. Her smile spread as they drew closer to the lovely blue box, and when the Doctor opened the doors...<br><br>She screamed, jumping back, as two orbs fired at the Doctor. Looking around wildly, she caught the Master's eye as he walked toward them. That was the second time she'd seen him get shot that day, and that was two times too many. Her fists clenched as she frantically tried to think of a way out of this. Her mind was still not strong enough to control all of the Silents, and overpowering just five of them wouldn't do her any good this time.<br><br>She was stuck.<br><br>Both Robin and Allen looked furious as they listened to the Doctor and the Master argue. If it would have ended in anything other than death, Robin would have pounced on the evil Time Lord then and there... But she knew it wouldn't lead to any end they'd want. When the orbs opened to reveal human faced, Robin clapped her hands to her mouth and Allen looked like he was about to be sick.<br><br>Then these orbs were surrounding her, spinning and threatening with their sharp blades. Slowly, Robin straightened, not wanting them to do anything to hurt her brother. But her eyes were still full of fire as she gazed at the Master.<br><br>"I won't marry you," she said bluntly, and Allen thought that the anger in her eyes was the most terrifying thing he'd ever seen. But as soon as it appeared, it vanished, replaced by a smile and a strangely friendly glint. "I mean come on, putting thousands of people to sleep and all was fun, but it wasn't a proper date. I mean you haven't even kissed me yet! I can't have my husband being rubbish at kissing!"

				"Are you trying to make me angry again?" The Master asked as tilted his head to look at her. He marched towards her before grabbing her by the hair and yanking her head back, before pointing at Allen and clicking his fingers again. The orbs soared at Allen, brandishing their blades with a horrid screech, before suddenly halting as the Master clicked his fingers again. "I'm not falling for any more tricks honey. I'm taking you away and then you're going to kill all of my enemies and once we're done. You and I will rebuild Gallifrey and make a family of Time Lords that will rule until the end of time."<br><br>"Unhand her you fool!" The Doctor hissed as he got to his feet with difficulty, clutching his wounds with one hand whilst his other helped brace himself on his own knee. "Do you really expect her to crumble to you? Her will is iron, you and I both know that she will never be forced to commit such genocide. This plan is madness."<br><br><strong>"Of course its madness!"</strong> The Master roared as he let go the Robin's hair and marched to the Doctor before kicking his leg out from under him, causing him to drop to the ground with another howl of pain. "But I don't need to be lectured by you! This is my last shot at bringing back Gallifrey and I will not waste it!"<br><br>The Master turned his head and pointed at Robin, baring his teeth at her the same way that a wolf may bare their fangs at their prey. "You will marry me girl. You will obey my order, because if you don't I promise that I will find your family and every single one of your friends and kill them one by one in front of you! Then we'll see who is unbreakable!"<br><br>The Master clicked his fingers again at the orbs and they continued floating towards Allen, twirling their blades.<br><br>"Accept it. Or I'll make them carve him up in front of you!" The Master barked, his eyes wide with sadistic delight as he watched them close in on the poor lad.

				Robin cringed with pain when the Master pulled her by the hair, but she stared up into his eyes with the same merriment as before... Until he made the orb people fly at Allen with their blades at the ready. She yelled loudly in fear, but then the Master made them stop and she stood still. The laughter was gone from her face, replaced by a look of complete and total loathing.<br><br>Allen looked nervously at the orbs before looking back at Robin and shaking his head. When the Master let go of her she looked at her brother, eyes wide and mouth trembling. Then, the evil Time Lord kicked the Doctor's legs out from under him and Robin nearly growled at him. <br><br>As he made his threats, Robin felt herself dissolving. She sank to her knees, unable to let him continue to torment her brother and her Doctor. Frantically she searched for a plan, tried to come up with anything at all that she could do to help... But nothing came. She gave the Doctor a helpless look before hanging her head.<br><br>"Okay," she said softly, unwilling to look anyone in the eye. "Okay. Don't hurt them. Just please... don't hurt them, you evil bastard." Then she looked up at him with that same fire from before. "Just know that I'm not breaking. I'm only bending. For now. And remember that if you even harm one hair on my brother's head it will be enough to make me able to burn you from the inside out."

				"Good, you don't know how happy you've made me," the Master spoke with delight before motioning for the Silence to take her away. They stepped forward and pulled her towards the Master's TARDIS, whilst the maniac stayed behind to point and laugh at the Doctor as he lay on the ground calling after Robin.<br><br>"Robin! Robin do not go with him! You can't let him take you away!" The Doctor shrieked, but he knew that he couldn't stop her and he knew that he couldn't blame her. Her family was at risk and the Master would do everything in his power to make sure they suffered until Robin finally buckled.<br><br><em>"Goodbye Doctor, we'll leave you in peace!"</em> Madame Kovorian's cruel voice cackled before the two orbs followed after the Silence, just as the Master waved the three of them farewell and blew them a kiss.<br><br>"Sir, please may I have permission to use myself as a suicide bomber and blow them sky high with the explosives strapped to my body!" Strax roared, anger rippling across his scrunched up face as he glared after the Master. This time it wasn't amusing. The Sontaran was just as enraged as the Doctor from their crippling defeat and the sight of Robin leaving was salt in the wound.<br><br>"No Strax, I thank you for the offer, but there is no need to throw your life away," the Doctor groaned as he staggered one more time to his feet. Strax raced over to his side and helped him up, pulling out various medical supplies from his pocket as he prepared to patch him up.<br><br>"No, don't waste your supplies. Just get me into the TARDIS," the Doctor groaned and motioned to the door. "The Master has probably set a bomb for us inside the machine. I need to disarm it and then figure out where to go from there."<br><br>"Sir, if you die in this form. You will more than likely not regenerate," Strax spoke solemnly as he helped the Doctor towards the TARDIS, motioning for Allen to follow. "Your time line is fractured. If one of you aside from your newest form dies it will most likely erase your entire life!"<br><br>"Which we cannot have...Robin must be saved," the Doctor breathed as he clutched the wounds. "I have failed the human race. The Earth. My friends and their families far too may times today. We must take action."<br><br>The Doctors image flickered to his fifth form, who seemed alarmed by the words that had just been spoken. "Are you mad? We discussed this! The risks were far too high!"<br><br>"If we don't do something then we've lost everything," the Eleventh spoke as he shimmered into existence. "We have no choice. We have to obey the Doctor's instructions."<br><br>"But Time itself could fracture and die. Are we really ready to take that step?" The Fourth Doctor asked, the humor in his voice gone as he appeared. "I'm for it...we have no other option, but we need to take a vote if we are going to go through with this."<br><br>"Allen, I know you probably hate us for letting Robin down and I don't blame you," the Ninth Doctor said as the Fourth faded away and shifted blames with his future form. His piercing eyes gazed at Allen weakly whilst his arm was draped over the Sontaran's shoulders. "But I need someone to open the door."

				Silent tears coursed down Robin's face as she was dragged away, the sound of the Doctor's voice calling weakly after her almost too much to bear. Closing her eyes, she sent a message to the psychic paper, hoping he'd see it sooner rather than later. Opening them again, she looked at the Silent to her right weakly, tears still streaming freely.<br><br>"Ah, Jason," she said. The Silent looked at her. "I see you're still kicking."<br><br>---<br><br>Allen watched his sister recede into the distance, a helpless look on his freckled face. This was all too much for him, and he sank, overwhelmed, to the ground. He cried also, knowing there was nothing he could possibly do to help Robin though she'd been helping him her entire life. Then his gaze turned to the Doctor and he felt a mix of emotions, all of which were threatening to overtake him.<br><br>First he felt anger. This "Doctor" was supposed to be a genius, so how did he not see this sort of trap coming? He'd already let Robin die; it was only by some insane miracle that she had come back that time. And now... he was letting her get carted off again? <br><br>But then... He felt hope. He knew that if anyone could help it would be the Doctor. And so he stood, brushing off his khaki pants. He then strode to the TARDIS and flung open the doors, but then stopped and blocked the way, looking first at Strax and then at the Doctor.<br><br>"I'm going to do my best to help," he said, his voice soft. "I'm going to do whatever you need me to do, without question. I don't care why or how, I'll do it. But you better believe me, Doctor, if she gets hurt... You'll have me to answer to. I know that may not be intimidating because I'm only a human, but all the same. Now you let Strax heal you as best he can before we go doing anything dangerous."

				The Doctor slowly made his way into the TARDIS with the help of Strax, his image flickering with every step he took. It seemed that the closer he got to the TARDIS, the more unstable it became.<br><br>"I knew it," he groaned in his seventh form as he pushed away from Strax and braced himself against the controls of the TARDIS. He took off his White hate and wiped sweat away from his forehead as he looked upon the large metal dome that was strapped to one part of the TARDIS. A long thin line of light was slowly moving up the side of the dome with every second, more than likely the digital fuse for the bomb that was latched to the TARDIS. "That's a bad bomb. That will erase all life in every rrrrroom of the TARDIS. The Time Lords used these whenever their ships had been taken by the Daleks."<br><br>"Sir, I think it would be best if you returned to your newest form. If you die whilst in a later form you will be unable to regenerate," Strax warned as stomped across the floor of the TARDIS and stood at the Doctor's side. "Allow me to patch you up. You need to heal!"<br><br>"That will not be necessary Strax, for in a moment I may be killed anyway. It would be a waste of supplies," the Doctor spoke with a sigh, his face growing paler by the moment. "Besides, we've been trying to rrrrre-balance our timeline ever since this began. It seems that our newest body cannot be summoned."<br><br>The seventh Doctor wiped his forehead again and let out a groan of pain. The color was draining from his saggy face and his body was starting to fizzle like the picture on a broken television screen.<br><br>"Sir...what do you mean?" Strax asked as he watched the Time Lord slowly wither away with concern. "You mentioned fracturing Time and now you speak of death. What do you mean by that?"<br><br>"The Blondie had an idea which he wrote down in his own blood before the TARDIS fractured his time line and summoned the rest of us," the curly blond Doctor in the patchwork suit said as he switched with the Seventh. He seemed to smile with amusement as he traced his finger along the controls and circled the small bloody message which read; <em>take a leap of faith'</em>. "I thought that the idea was rather good, but then again I have always been a little more reckless than the other Doctors."<br><br>"But the risks are very high," the Third Doctor spoke grimly as the blond curls turned grey and the patch work became velvet. He stared solemnly at the message, seemingly unperturbed by the bomb that was still ticking away. "The best case scenario is that our fractured time line returns to normal."<br><br>"What is the worst scenario?" Strax asked. "Do you die?"<br><br>"No, we smash our Time Line to smithereens and undo hundreds of years of our history," the Doctor said gravely. "Everything foe we could not foil will triumph. Every life we saved will die. History will be reset and the lives of those who have yet to live will be extinguished as Time compensates for the loss. Right now we are voting to decide whether we can truly go through with his plan.<br><br>"But, what is the plan?" Strax asked with desperation, becoming increasingly aware of how close the dome bomb was to filling up fully.<br><br>The Doctor opened his mouth to explain, but before he could a honking sound echoed through the room and the Eleventh Doctor's image washed over the Third before he reached into his tweed jacket and pulled out his psychic paper.<br><br>"Oh...Robin Baker..." the Doctor said fondly and smiled weakly as he looked over the psychic message that had been left on the small rectangle of paper. "Your sister is quite amazing Allen," he called to Allen and shook the paper at him with a grin. "Not only is she brave, clever and a giant pain in the backside, but she's also one of the most marvelous people that I have ever met."<br><br>"She is currently in the process of being married off to the loony master. And rather than worrying about the horrible things that he'll make her do, she sends this to me!" The Doctor said before holding up the paper before him.<br><br><div align="center"><em><strong>Doctor<br><br>I don't know what is going to happen now. <br>Everything seems just a little bit hopeless, but I've seen what happens when you're faced with hopeless situations.<br>You always find a way to surprise me.<br>You always find a way to be the hero that I know you are.<br>Don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine, but you need to act fast. <br>Below is one sentence that can bring every human on Earth out of their trance.<br>I created it as a way to counter the psychic attack the Master forced me to do, he has no idea it exists. <br>Transfer this through the psychic beacon and every human will wake up. <br><br>Hopefully it will be of some use. The rest is up to you, Doctor.<br><br>Go on, impress a girl.</strong></em></div><br>The Doctor smiled warmly as the message changed to one small phrase. A made up word that he knew all too well. He handed the psychic paper to Allen and rolled up his sleeves before backing up a few metres, as if planning to jump a great distance or deliver a flying kick.<br><br>His image flickered again and again in preparation, each Doctor smiling as they prepared themselves for what they were about to do. What the message had convinced them to do, for it was a reminder of the day in which Robin Baker had told the Doctor exactly who he was and who he needed to be.<br><br><div align="center">The simple words of Jk Rowling, <strong><em>Expecto patronum</em></strong></div>

				Allen looked on, the hopeless expression on his face worsening. The Doctor seemed to be losing control of his forms, and dying at the same time. There was a bomb hooked to the TARDIS that would kill all of them, and Allen knew that if the Doctor died now there would be no hope left for the planet. As mad as the ginger boy was at this absurd Time Lord, he wasn't an idiot. It was all up to the Doctor now.<br><br>His mouth dropped open as the older/younger versions of the Doctor explained what might happen if they went through with the most recent Doctor's plan. He had done so much in his long lifetime that all of those things could happen? It seemed impossible... But then again, when had the word 'impossible' meant anything to the Doctor?<br><br>And just as he was getting to the crux of his apparently insane plan, a loud noise started going. Allen looked around, confused, but then the Doctor pulled out a strange little leather wallet. His expression changed (along with his appearance, becoming again the funny-looking man in the bow tie) from despair to exhilaration, and he grinned broadly at Allen.<br><br>None of this made any sense to the human. All of a sudden, the Doctor was spouting off about how brilliant Robin was. But how could she have possibly sent him a message on a piece of paper? When the strange alien handed Allen the paper, he read it quickly, a smile slowly spreading across his own mouth. He's always known Robin would do great things someday.<br><br>"Leave it to Robin," Allen said, trying his hardest to look exasperated, "to think up a way to save the human race... And put it in a Harry Potter spell." Then he looked at the Doctor with concern. "I hope you know what you're doing..."<br><br>---<br><br>Across the field, in the church, Robin Baker did something that likely would infuriate the Master.<br><br>She grinned a wide, bright, cheeky grin.

				The Master had taken Robin back to the church and spared no expense in turning the place into a hell hole for their accursed wedding.<br><br>The moment they had arrived back at the ruins the Master had set to work repairing the roof and stain glass windows, all apparently in aid of giving off some air of presentability for the <em>guests</em> that were yet to arrive to their wedding. <br><br>Silent agents lined the walls of the grand building, never speaking, just staring out at the rows of benches that lay before the altar, only straying from their position in order to aid with hauling a heavily injured (but still violent and struggling) Gwen Cooper, Madame Vastra, Jenny and Sky Smith into the church. Once inside, they were shoved down to their knees and held in place by the Silence, their arms and legs locked into place by heavy metal cuffs.<br><br>It only got worse when the guests to this insane event arrived, ushered in by what was left of Colonel Mantan and Madame Kovorian.<br><br><em>"Come on in! Come on in! There's plenty of room for everyone! The Master is so glad you could make it!"</em> They chimed as various lifeforms, apparently representatives of the Earth Bound Tournament, walked through the doors of the church and took their seats.<br><br>Now the room was occupied by the worst enemies of the Doctor; the Supreme Dalek, the Great Intelligence, the Cyber Commander, the Nestene Consciousness, Commander Staarl of the Sontarans and many many more. All of which had arrived at the event, more than likely out of obligation more than curiosity. Even the Toymaker had made an appearance, having apparently been resurrected by the Master after their encounter. He stood behind the altar dressed in Chinese emperor garments, preparing himself to conduct the ceremony.<br><br>"Its beautiful isn't it?" The Master whispered to Robin as they stood before the altar. In one hand he held the crown that he would shove upon her head when this was completed, the very tool that would kill the unsuspecting lifeforms that had gathered to witness this bizarre event. It was beyond madness, beyond logic and yet here they were, about to go through with it all.<br><br>"I thought that if there even the slightest chance of the Doctor showing up, then he should be welcomed to our wedding by the people who know him best," the Master said before adjusting the collar of the pitch black tuxedo he was dressed in. "He will have about a minute to contemplate what a bad idea it was, interrupting our lovely day, before they rip him limb from limb."

				Robin smiled the whole time the Master was repairing things. Her grin never dimmed; her eyes sparkled with happiness and perhaps a little mischief. Several Silent agents watched her, and she took turns smiling at each of them, though of course they never returned the favor. Her smile remained in place until the people she'd met earlier were brought, struggling, into the room. Then her expression flashed angrily as she looked toward the Master. But when she looked back again at Gwen, Vastra, Jenny, and Sky, she did something completely strange.<br><br>She winked at them.<br><br>And then the guests started filing in. Some of them she recognized but others she didn't, but it was obvious that they were all the Doctor's worst enemies. It was quite ironic that they were so willingly attending the wedding that was supposed to be their ultimate demise. When her eyes landed on the Toymaker, they narrowed to dark blue slits but still she said nothing.<br><br>When the Master started whispering in her ear, the pleasant expression on Robin's face never faltered. She listened as though quite interested, nodding along when appropriate, trying her hardest not to lash out and bite him again (though it would have been quite fun). When he finished speaking she looked at him, all smiles and sparkling violet eyes.<br><br>"I'm going to tell you something," she said secretively, her voice low. "The Doctor <em>will</em> come. He loves crashing weddings, don't ever let him tell you otherwise. Anyway, he's coming, and he's going to win. And now, I'm going to ask you a question. A very important question, and I need you to listen closely." She leaned toward him, dropping her voice to a whisper.<br><br>"Can Jason be my maid of honor?"

				"You're an idiot," the Master spat. "I'll have to cut out your tongue when we're done. I'm sick of hearing you talk," the Master spoke before his eyes drifted back to the room of enemies and sparkled with malicious delight. "My my...look at the turn out. And not one of them has any idea of what is going to happen once you say I do."<br><br>The Master rammed the crown roughly onto Robin's head and gestured for the Toymaker to begin. His weathered face twisted into an insane smile and he nodded at Robin and the Master, winking at Robin slyly, before opening a large book that appeared from thin air.<br><br>"Dearly beloved, we are here to day to slap the Doctor in the face!" The Toymaker called out as he gazed at the room with delight. "For years we have tried time and time again to thwart our common enemy. And although our paths have crossed and led to much disagreement, I sincerely believe that today we have truly accomplished something that has not been done before. We have broken the Doctor."<br><br>"His Earth is in ruins. His TARDIS is crippled. His friends will soon be executed and the human race will wither away to nothing as days go by," the Toymaker said fondly before applauding the Master, who bowed his head and grinned as if embarrassed by the attention. "Although it certainly guaranteed that we shall all try and kill each other once this is done. We must still celebrate this unifying moment, with another unity, between the Master and the girl he stole from the Doctor."<br><br>No one applauded apart from the Master, but the creatures that had gathered did seem to register in their own individual ways the pleasure of the moment. Gwen and the rest of the Resistance, snarled at the creatures with burning hatred in their eyes, still unable to give up the will to fight on.<br><br>"Now...let us begin..." The Toymaker said lightly before turning to the Master. "Do you, Master and conqueror of all, take this pathetic silly girl to be your wife?"<br><br>"Regretfully I do," the Master said with a nod and smiled smugly at Robin.<br><br>"And do you take this maniac to be your husband?" The Toymaker asked Robin and for a moment there was nothing but silence in the room as the question hung in the air.<br><br>No matter what had been said, the creatures knew that if there were a moment in which the Doctor would arrive, this would be it, but yet as they listened for the sound of the doors slamming open suddenly or the cosmic tune of the TARDIS, nothing reached their ears.<br><br>Madame Vastra and Jenny looked at each other with concern as precious seconds passed. The Doctor had been known to push it fine, but in a moment Robin would need to say yes or no. And once she did...then it would all be over.<br><br>"Well?" The Toymaker asked viciously. "Are you going to say yes or do we need to obliterate your friends one by one?"<br><br>The Master let out a laugh at the comment and grabbed hold of the back of Robin's hair to turn her to face him. "What was that you were saying about the Doctor stopping me again?" The Master asked cruelly before letting out an even louder laugh, his voice turning thrill as he howled with joy. "What did I tell you? Its my victory!"

				"You call <em>me</em> an idiot, and yet your entire plan centers around me," Robin said with the same smile on her face. "So I'm wondering... what does that make you?" But then the Toymaker was speaking, and the room had fallen silent. <br><br>Robin watched the Toymaker with a blank expression on her face. His words washed over her like so much water; she didn't let them penetrate. Of all the times to panic, now was most certainly not the time, and so she tried to ignore everything. Instead, she looked at Gwen and the others, willing them to be strong if this should turn ugly.<br><br>She would fight saying yes, she knew she would, but the Doctor might not show up for a while yet. It was obvious that the Master would threaten her new friends if she didn't comply, but Robin was sincerely hoping that none of them would have to die. If she could just get him to hold out... They might have a chance...<br><br>The Toymaker was speaking the words. The final words... When the Master said "I do" Robin's hearts started to pound. The Toymaker asked her the question twice, with such a space in between that it would have been the perfect moment for the Doctor's dramatic entrance... But there was no TARDIS. Nothing whatsoever. Robin sighed, looking up at the Master as he pulled her hair.<br><br>Slowly, she let her eyes fill with what would look like despair. Tears started leaking from their corners and her mouth turned down in the saddest frown she could manage. But then... after a moment... The look disappeared. Again, she made the Master watch as her expression filled with joy, and her lips parted in that dazzling, flirty, completely cheeky way.<br><br>Then, she spoke two words.<br><br>"Expecto Patronum."

				The Master's laugh was silenced as the most wonderful sound in the universe began to echo through the room. His mouth dropped open and confusion cross his bristled face. He stared at Robin uneasily, unable to grasp as to whether her words had summoned the oncoming chaos or not.<br><br>The sound of the TARDIS was like the rumbling of a thunderstorm, the howling of the wind and the collective roar of a thousand explosions as the blue box materialised in the middle of the aisle. Pandemonium had come to the church as it solidified, the churning cosmic sound of the machine running through the building, rattling its very foundation. It was almost as if the church itself was terrified of what its arrival meant.<br><br>Benches were upturned as the guests of the wicked event got to their feet (if they had any) and aimed every single weapon and offensive ability at the blue box. The Cybermen lifted their cannon arms, the Sontarans raised their laser cannons, the Slitheen brandished their claws, the Dalek's aimed their cannons as did every other enemy that stood before the blue box. It was obvious that despite the vast numbers that surrounded the box, no one felt safe at that moment.<br><br>"He...is...impossible," the Master spoke slowly, his every word laced with violence as he gradually turned to face the TARDIS. His laser screwdriver slid into his hand and he pointed it at the TARDIS with a scowl that would have looked more fitting on some sort of wild enraged beast. <br><br>The Toymaker looked over the scene with a perplexed expression, scratching under his circular hat as he watched the police box with unease. It seemed as if he was unsure as to whether he was meant to pull out a weapon or continue with the ceremony.<br><br>The Silence were now on guard with their white hands raised at the box, crackling with electricity as they stared it down with as much venom as they were capable of pulling off without facial features.<br><br>Everyone was poised to attack. Ready to kill whatever came out of the box.<br><br>But when it opened with a clang, they could not keep their composure. Everyone in the room flinched, and their discomfort only seemed to worsen as a figure stepped out from the TARDIS.<br><br>His hair was blond and wavy and his face was roughly shaved. His eyes were soft and warm, which suited their rich caramel color. Usually this man would wear a blue duffel coat or an anorak and finish it off with wellingtons or sandals, but at this moment he decided to wear a smart black suit and tie, possibly in some attempt to look a little like a scruffy blond surfer James Bond.<br><br>"Hello everybody! I'm back!" The Doctor called cheerfully as he waved at the enemies which surrounded him, taking pleasure in watching their reactions as he slowly walked down the aisle before coming to a halt a few meters away from the altar. He looked towards Robin and grinned at her broadly, winking to her in that annoying mischevious way before he added, "Oh and by the way, I object. She's far too pretty for you."

				Robin's smile lit up the whole room as the TARDIS began to materialize inside the church. That sound had never been so beautiful to her; it was the sound of the universe, the sound of time, space, and everything... The sound of the Doctor. As it started to come into view, slowly but surely, Robin set to work trying to wriggle out of her ties. Eventually she got them loose, but stayed where she was so that the Doctor could make his grand entrance.<br><br>Everyone in the room backed away from the blue police box, their weapons raised and their expressions a mixture of fear, anger, and hatred... Those that had faces, anyway. And when the Doctor stepped out, Robin's grin somehow widened even more. It was <em>her</em> Doctor. It had been fantastic to meet his past forms, but nothing could please her more than <em>her</em> Doctor.<br><br>When he spoke, his voice sounded like waves crashing upon a stony shore. And Robin smiled that flirty smile again.<br><br>"Flatterer," she said, dramatically flinging her bonds off and sauntering toward the Doctor. "Don't think that this makes up for you being late, you'll still have to answer for that later." When she reached his side she twirled, placing a hand on her hip and winking at the Master.<br><br>"Oh, yeah, forgot to mention... Jason tied me up. Got to keep a closer eye on your servants, yeah?" Looking back at the Doctor, she gave him a once-over. "Well, now I feel underdressed. At my own wedding, too!"

				"Can we just hold on a second!" The Master exclaimed and raised his arms as he glared at the two. His thumb was practically shivering with anticipation at it pressed lightly against the button of the laser screwdriver. It was obvious that there was nothing he wanted more than to blast a hole in the Doctors head, but yet he knew that something was wrong. And he had to know what it was.<br><br>"First of all, where the heck do you think your going?" The Master snapped at Robin, lowering the deadly tool in her direction. "We still have you surrounded and this wedding is far from over! So get your little backside back here now before I start making a shooting gallery out of all of your friends!"<br><br>The Doctor snickered into his sleeve before he nudged Robin with his elbow, waggling his eyebrows at her teasingly as he said, "Shows that he hasn't been paying attention," the Doctor chuckled before pointing at her with his thumb. "Her backside isn't that little. Then again it isn't big either. Its sort of inbet-"<br><br>"Shut up!" The Master roared, swiping at the empty air with his fist before breathing in deep and calmly exhaling, just before raising two fingers with his free hand. "Secondly, how did you manage to fix your Time Line? The wound of the TARDIS should have sent it spiraling out of control, you can't just heal from something like that! Its impossible!" The Master barked before adding, "And now that I think about it. What did you do with the bomb? That should have erased you within a minute of you entering the TARDIS!"<br><br>The Doctor didn't seem to be paying much attention as the Master yelled. His hand had now reached inside of his pocket and pulled out a large silver circle with a huge red button on top of it. The Doctor calmly observed it before tossing into the air and juggling it a few times over his head whilst the Master continued to snarl.<br><br>"And finally and most importantly..." The Master began before making a large sweeping motion with both arms as he indicated to the threats that surrounded the Doctor. "Can you kindly tell me what on Earth is stopping us from <strong>blowing you off the face of this ruddy planet?!</strong>"<br><br>The Doctor caught the red button and held his finger over it. The warmth vanished from his face as he stared down the Master with his fiery eyes, his fingers mere inches from the giant red button.<br><br>"Firstly, we are going home. We're going to pack up and leave this rotten little hive that you call a base of operations and go back to the lovely little planet that would really like to celebrate the rest of its holiday," the Doctor explained firmly before turning on the spot to cast his gaze around everyone else that stood around him. "When we get back. Our planet is going to be returned to normal. You're all going to leave and the human race will continue as it always does, because if you don't. I will destroy you."<br><br><em>"Should we kill him Master?"</em> Madame Korvarian asked as she floated beside the Master, her blades swiping at the air around her, almost nervously.<br><br>"No...something is wrong..." the Master murmured whilst his gaze lingered on the red button. "What is that device your holding in your hand?"<br><br>"Oh this?" The Doctor asked as he wiggled the device before the Master. "I'll explain this in a minute, its rather important. In fact, it answers your second question rather well, but I thought I might let Robin make a few demands while we have you at our mercy."<br><br>The Doctor turned to look at Robin and grinned at her broadly before pointing to the Master with his thumb. "Anything you want from these Jokers? Do you want the Master to do an apology dance or something?"

				Robin quirked an eyebrow up as the Master called her backside "little." Maybe when she was human that would've been true, but this regeneration had left her with quite a bit more curve than she was used to. A little thrill went through her as the Doctor revealed that he'd noticed... He'd said as much back at Big Ben but this was the first time he'd directly referenced her bum. When he started to correct the Doctor, Robin wiggled her hips a little with another wink.<br><br>She listened to the Master blather on, his protestations met with little reaction from either her or the Doctor. The newer Time Lord watched her companion juggling the button, seemingly fascinated by it. Of course, she had no idea what it was for yet, but the object here was to infuriate the Master as much as possible.<br><br>But when the Doctor looked back at the Master, so did Robin, and the warmth dropped from their faces in the same instant. The Doctor's golden eyes held all the fury of an ancient Time Lord, and Robin's the full anger of a new one. Together they were a frightening picture, and it was no wonder that all the beings in the room were watching with much trepidation as the Doctor spoke.<br><br>It was strange to hear the Doctor make a threat as direct as "I will destroy you," but Robin took it in stride, hoping he meant it a little more figuratively than it sounded. Plus, it was fantastic to see the Master's face through the whole thing, to see him sputter as his big plans were obliterated by the one man he could never beat.<br><br>Then she realized that the Doctor was talking to her again, and she turned back toward him with a smile. For a moment she seemed to think, before turning back and giving a long stare to the Master.<br><br>"No," she said softly. "No, they've hurt me and they've hurt my friends, but I won't do anything to them. I'm just ready for this to be over, Doctor."

				"That's my girl, always being better than them or me. Ill admit today's not been a nice day for me. So I'm a bit on edge," the Doctor said with a small frown before sighing gloomily. "I loose my friends, fail to save the humans, fail to save Robin, I get blasted through the chest twice, I get blown up and for a good while my previous forms get to have the time of there lives, it's not really fair."<br><br>"Save me the chatter Doctor and answer my questions!" Yelled the Master,&nbsp; so very nearly blasting the Doctor with the laser screwdriver. "And while you're at it, enlighten me as to how you'll stop me, the Silence and every enemy currently gathered on Earth, because I'm fascinated to know what hair brained scheme your going to think of." The Master said mockingly before gesturing around them. "I have gathered every single one of your enemies to this place. If you care to look to your left you will see the Supreme Dalek, ready to exterminate you. If you look to your right you'll see the Cyber Commander preparing to delete you."<br><br>The Doctor looked left and right at the oncoming threats. The large white Dalek had his cannon fixed on the Doctor, watching him cautiously through his eye scope, whilst a large Cyberman with a black faceplate, wielding a large black gun that looked like it belonged on a tank, turned to face the Doctor with his hollow sockets.<br><br>The Doctor just smiled at them and gave them a polite wave, as if greeting old friends.<br><br>"So tell me, please tell me, Doctor..." The Master began, grinning smugly at the man as he spoke every patronising word. "Just what are you going to do?"<br><br>"Well, its simple really," The Doctor replied before absentmindedly tossing the button into the air again, watching it flip in the air with fascination before he caught it. "I'm going to scare the pants off you and at the same time use the psychic beacon to send out the counter message whilst herding all remaining forces off of Earth."<br><br>There was a moment as the Master processed his response. His brow furrowed and he chuckled in disbelief as he watched his enemy continue to juggle with the button. "Are you serious?"<br><br>"Very," the Doctor replied before catching the button one last time and turning his gaze on the Master. His expression was stony but there was a hint of a smile creeping off either corner of his mouth as he watched his old foe. "You shouldn't have messed with my planet. You could have battled me anywhere you wanted to, but you couldn't resist it could you? You <em>had</em> to make it Earth. You had to hurt and kill my friends. You could have travelled with me and Robin after surviving the Time War, but instead you decided to start a fight you can't win."<br><br>"And that's why, I'm not going to let you off today," the Doctor growled before waggling the device before the Master. His smile turning genuine as he presented the odd red button. "So let me let you in on my secret. This, is a teleporter!"<br><br>"And?" The Master asked, failing at keeping the scathing laugh out of his voice. "You have a teleporter so what? Are you planning to escape with the girl? I'll just hunt you down all over again!"<br><br>"I wasn't done, because this isn't just a teleporter. Oh no it's so much more than that" the Doctor said brightly, his pearly grin growing wider by the moment. He began to pace up and down the aisle and he began to explain, moving with a little spring in his step, obviously enjoying the chance to move and prattle after hours of being sealed in Time. <br><br>"You see when you crippled my TARDIS you created a state of fractured time and the only way to solve it was to repair the TARDIS manually. That's some tricky business, repairing a TARDIS can take time and effort. And I didn't have time and wasn't really up for putting in a whole lot of effort considering I'm just that little bit cross with you for stealing my girl," the Doctor explained before winking at Robin and twirling on his feet to face the Master once more.<br><br>"So you know what I did?" The Doctor asked innocently, his cheeky grin practically shining with excitement as he looked around the room, as if asking the killer audience to take a guess. "I convinced myself to jump into the wound at the heart of the TARDIS."<br><br>"You did what?!" The Master cried, his mouth falling open in shock, genuine fear crossing over his face before he regain his composure and snarled. "That's madness, you could have shattered the time vortex and ripped yourself apart!"<br><br>"But I didn't. Oh no, instead something far more interesting happened," the Doctor said smugly before he lifted the button in front of him and began to slowly lower his finger towards it. "Something very interesting, almost incredible really, that is going to make you run screaming like a little girl. Something that was made possibly through my irregular condition and the power of this paradox dimension that you so brilliantly decided to swipe from the Time War. Something that is going to make you wish you had never trifled with this planet and even laid eyes on Robin." <br><br>The Master was trying his best not to look uneasy. The Silent agents were looking at each other with concern, unable to decide if shooting the Doctor was worth the risk. Every enemy of the Doctor seemed to be considering whether joining the tournament and coming to this mad event had been a good idea. Even the resistance themselves looked a little nervous as they watched the Doctor's plan unfold.<br><br>"You spent so much time raising the stakes that I resorted to something drastic," the Doctor growled. "You wanted me to fight you with an army? <strong>Wish, granted!</strong>"<br><br>The Doctor pushed the button and light exploded around him, every windows shattered as the church violently rocked side to side as if it had been hit by the blast of an atomic bomb. The master let out a cry of alarm and shielded his eyes as the light blinded him and the rest of the foes who had gathered, that now seemed to let out individual cries of alarm as wind began to blow harshly through the church.<br><br>At the centre of the explosion, the Doctor's grinning face could just be made out, surrounded by the golden light as the device carried out its function and tore at the church with an unearthly force as it transported matter from the very heart of the TARDIS. The matter crossed the paradoxical planes and ripped through the fabric of Time and Space effortlessly before hammered into the grounds of the church as seemingly the impossible thing in the Universe took place within its walls.<br><br>"Stop it! Whatever you are doing!" The Master roared, trying to retain control despite being blinded by the harsh light. "I order you to stop! Do you hear me? You are to stop!" The Master yelled, just before the light died away. He raised his screwdriver and prepared to let loose a bolt of hot death into the Doctor's head...and then immediately dropped it on the ground as he witnessed what stood before him.<br><br>The Master was frozen to the spot. His eyes wide, his mouth open, gawking at the sight before him with shock unlike anything anyone had ever seen plastered on his face.<br><br>The room was full of people, eccentrically dressed men and women who out numbered the residents of the church five to one. They varied in height, age, gender, skin color and fashion sense, but yet they all seemed to share the same indescribable aura that made the world seem so much more intense. All of them stared down the Master with varying looks of anger and amusement as each of them raised different models of Sonic Screwdriver in his direction. <br><br>At the front of this gang of strange humanoids stood twelve figures, all of which had been seen by Robin that day, for her Doctor, who stood proudly at the front of this army with a cocky smile on his face, had transformed into each of them at some point or another.<br><br>The frail old man in black with a cane, the menacingly staring old man with bushy eyebrows, the dandy looking old man in velvet, the weirdo with the long stripped scarf, the blond in the cricket gear, the odd man in patchwork, the umbrella wielding man in white, the Victorian dressed man with a deep bottomless stare, the vengeful warrior in leather, the chatty thin man in blue, the dork in tweed and a bowtie and of course the surfer in a duffel coat and wellingtons, all stood with the crowd of strange warriors, staring down the Master with burning intensity.<br><br>The Doctor smiled warmly before he and the crowd spoke at once...<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">"Hello, we're the Doctors from Gallifrey."</span></div>

				"Not a great day for me either," Robin said, elbowing the Doctor. "I died, then came back, then got kidnapped, tortured, forced to reduce all the humans to comatose states, escaped, then got kidnapped again... And you know what? None of that even measures up to the fact that I almost had to marry <em>him</em>." She then stuck her tongue out like a child, blowing a raspberry at the Master. <br><br>Then, the Master and the Doctor were arguing again... But Robin could feel something. Something big was coming, something huge and impossible and amazing. She searched for it in the Doctor's mind, but all she could gather was that the device was a teleport... Which he revealed soon after she saw it in his head. With a frown, she huffed, wishing she had better control over her psychic strength.<br><br>A teleport. What could he possibly be doing with a teleport? Her eyes widened and she stared at him as he revealed that he'd jumped into the wound of the TARDIS... And what that could have meant for him. A single tear threatened to escape as she realized exactly how much he cared for the Earth... for humans... for her. <br><br>Then the windows shattered and Robin let out a yelp. She was still unclear as to what the Doctor was doing... Until a moment later when she looked around. There were people everywhere, people in strange clothes... And there were the Doctors. The Doctors she'd met earlier, the previous versions of her Doctor. Robin's grin widened almost painfully as she looked at them each in turn. Some were old and gray, some were young and pretty, but they were all brilliant, and they were all the Doctor.<br><br>Robin felt so happy she thought she might explode.<br><br>Slowly, she walked down the line of them, not caring about what the 'bad guys' in the room might do. She planted a kiss on each of their cheeks, whispering a thanks into their ears. When she reached the tenth version, she paused, looking at him. Slowly, she reached up and ran her fingers through his hair once, giggling. Then she walked to the eleventh and straightened his bow tie.<br><br>But of course, as she always would, she returned to her Doctor's side, lacing her fingers with his.

				The Doctor's grin grew even broader as his fingers linked with Robin's whilst he stared out at the Master, who was now scrambling for his laser screwdriver with evident horror in his mad agitated eyes.&nbsp; When he eventually grabbed a hold of it, he jumped to his feet and lifted it to meet the approaching army of brilliant Time Lord warriors. His grasp shaking with uncontrollable nerves as he raised the weapon.<br><br>One laser screwdriver pointed at them, roughly three hundred sonic screwdrivers pointed back.<br><br>The Silence who lined the walls were no longer poised and ready to strike as they had been before, now they was shrinking back against the wall their arms splayed by their sides warily as they watched the Doctors laugh and point at their enemies. <br><br>The rest of the guests were equally stunned, the Supreme Dalek was rapidly aiming his cannon from target to target, shrieking <em>emergency!</em> repeatedly in its robotic voice as it registered the large mass of enemies that had just appeared before it. The Cyber Commander followed suit, but after adjusting target a few times he froze up as his targetting systems realised that one blast from his gun would lead to nothing. The Sontaran Commander Staal on the other hand was doing his best to goad the Time Lords on, begging them to make a move, but yet even the mighty Sontaran could not ignore the shaking in his knees. <br><br>Some didn't even bother standing to fight and disappeared in bright flashes as they fled the nightmare that had arrived.<br><br>The Master stepped back tentatively before making a break for his TARDIS, leaving the Toymaker standing at the altar with a bewildered look upon his old face, apparently the new development was so crazy that even he couldn't handle it.<br><br>"I wouldn't bother doing that," the Doctor called as the Master reached the stone pillar of his TARDIS. "You're not going to like what you find!"<br><br>The Master reeled to a halt as the door of his own TARDIS opened and a dozen more oddly dressed figures stepped out from it, led by a man with sharp features, dressed in a blue pinstripe suit with red lining and a woman with dark curly hair dressed in a purple dress.<br><br>"He's an awfully stupid Time Lord," the new Doctor said to the female Doctor standing next to him as they walked towards the Master, making him back away slowly with dread. "All that knowledge and he still doesn't understand what is going on."<br><br><em>"Sir! We're receiving reports from Earth! The participants are being wiped out on mass and the humans are awakening from their shutdown!"</em> Madame Kovorians orb shrieked as it zipped to the Master's side, spinning wildly in the air. <em>"The incoming reports I'm receiving are saying that they're being overwhelmed!"</em><br><br>"Well of course we are. You have to understand whats going on. Its obvious!" The Doctor said as he began to walk towards the Master, his bright grin lighting up his roughly shaven face. The Master just stared at him uncomprehendingly, unable to form any words as his eyes drifted from one Doctor to another.<br><br>"Let me explain, because its very simple," the Doctor said with relish, obviously enjoying every second of the Master's reaction. "By jumping into the heart of the TARDIS whilst my timeline was fractured I created an opportunity for something great, something better than healing the TARDIS. I fractured my Time Line to the point of refraction!"<br><br>"When I regained my senses I was still inside the TARDIS and had divided into twelve. So, without wasting too much time, we pooled our resources and together we shut down the nasty bomb you had left us. But, we knew we couldn't just leave it at that. We knew we could do <em>so</em> much more and went one step further!" The Doctor said, briefly turning back to the original eleven Doctors and saluting at them, who in turn responded with small waves, cheeky grins and grumpy looks of disapproval.<br><br>"So, using the excess power of all these delightful paradox dimensions you had laying about. We refracted ourselves even more and littered our forms to everywhere that the TARDIS had been since it was first attacked by you!" The Doctor said with elation, poking a finger into the Master's chest. The Master was growing rapidly more pale as he looked about him aghast. He was beginning to make sense of what was happening and he didn't like it one bit.<br><br>"You're getting it aren't you?" The Doctor chuckled, licking his lips and savoring the moment as he pointed around him. "Now, every one of my forms, every would be or could be, every past, present and future, every single form that ever was and ever could be, is now on Earth and every plane of this dimension!"<br><br>"You wanted me to bring an army to fight you?" The Doctor asked as he grabbed the Master by the collar of his shirt and glared viciously into his eyes before grinning like the devil himself as he roared. "Well here it is, an army of Doctor's, just for you, and it stands <em><strong>fourteen billion strong and growing by the second!</strong></em>" <br><br>The words were enough to make the Master crumble. In mere seconds every advantage that he had was destroyed by the legion of mad men and women. One Doctor was able to destroy millions of Daleks, send Cybermen hurtling into the void, rip the devil himself into atoms and send the Silence fleeing for their lives and now every single one of them faced an infinite number of them.<br><br>Nothing could be done. Every plan would fail. Every weapon would be thwarted. Every soldier would be bested. His master plan had been torn to shreds.<br><br>The Doctor let go of the Master, shoving him away before he turned to face the room with a delighted look on his mischievous face. The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors had gone back into the TARDIS to fetch a video camera that they had now quickly set up to point at him. The ninth Doctor handed him a microphone and told him that he would be live in five seconds, before the camera light lit up to broadcast the Doctor's face across the Earth.<br><br>"Hello, planet Earth and all the silly little aliens that are killing each other over it!" The Doctor said brightly as he looked into the camera lens. "This is a message from the Doctor on behalf of the Silence. The tournament is now over, Earth belongs to its inhabitants and protectors as it has been and always shall be. You have about five minutes to run for your lives before me or one of my billions of other forms boots you off it ourselves!" <br><br>The Doctor smiled cheerfully at the words, but slowly the humour drained from his face as he said a few last words to the camera. The final message to every single one of his foes.#<br><br>"You've lost. Now get off my planet."

				Robin looked around the room with uncontrollable glee on her face. Her eyes danced; her grin stretched so wide it was painful. All the events of the day were almost worth it to see the look on the Master's face... The looks on the faces on everyone in the room. Even the Dalek and Cyberman present somehow managed to look frightened, and that was no small feat. <br><br>The Silent agents were pushing back against the walls, knowing they could do nothing to prevent what was happening. Every Doctor who ever was or could have been was now present on Earth, and that fact was terrifying. All of his knowledge, all of his power... Multiplied by fourteen billion. That was enough to make anyone tremble at the knees.<br><br>A giggle escaped Robin as she watched several members of the wedding's audience disappear. It seemed that they were the smart ones, the ones who decided to run from the sea of Doctors rather than stay to find out what would happen to them. When the Master ran for his TARDIS she laughed again, knowing that no matter what he tried he wouldn't get away from this. <br><br>A tall version of the Doctor with sharp blue eyes and a shorter, female version (accompanied by several others) came sauntering out of the hideous ship, and Robin quirked an eyebrow. She then looked back at the crowd of Doctors behind them and grinned.<br><br>"Oh, you can regenerate as a woman, hmm?" She asked quietly, laughing. Then she fell silent, because Madame Kovarian was shouting about the fact that all the forces on Earth were being overwhelmed by the Doctors. Robin thought about it and realized that while she had expected something amazing... This far surpassed anything she would have hoped for.<br><br>When her Doctor began speaking into the camera, Robin couldn't hold down her excitement. She was bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet, ready to do anything and everything. However, she stilled when the humor dropped right out of his voice. Even with him on her side, seeing him so intense and angry was absolutely terrifying.<br><br>She walked and stood behind the camera, sliding between the tenth and eleventh Doctors, gripping both their hands tightly in hers. Then she looked at her Doctor and gave him a small, reassuring smile, hoping he would relax a little bit. <br><br>"This," she whispered to the two beside her. "This is... just amazing."

				"Hmmm?" The Tenth asked as he watched the Doctor issue the threat before commanding the Seventh, Eighth and Third Doctors to take care of the Master. For once, the three obliged without making a fuss, evidently they had a score to settle with the crazed conqueror. The Tenth followed the scene before slowly and begrudgingly nodding. "Yeah...I suppose its not bad. Not the way I would have done it."<br><br>"He did cut it awfully fine," the Eleventh agreed, crossing his arms behind his back whilst watching the remaining enemies flee for their lives. "I would have tried to cause less of a mess. Just because its a paradox dimension doesn't mean he can walk around like he owns the place." The Doctor paused as he looked around at the other Doctors, a bright grin appearing on his goofy face. "Mind you. It is nice to see some Doctors with fashion sense, look at all of those Doctors with bow ties, aren't they cool!" He cried happily before eagerly pointing at half a dozen men and women in varying attire, save for the bow ties around their necks.<br><br>"We are face to face with Doctors from all of history, from alternate timelines and realities, all that were born from a stunt we pulled using an injured TARDIS. Our descent into the heart could have caused the heart of the ship to rupture and implode, wiping out every star in the sky, shattering history and wiping out entire civilizations, but what does this man pick up on? The bow ties," the Tenth sighed, rolling his eyes at the Elevenths antics. "I swear, its like I'm meeting Tommy Cooper all over again."

				"Oi, don't knock my Doc," Robin said. She paused for a second before pulling a face. "Okay, hopefully I'll never say that again. He probably knew that I wanted the chance to say 'Expecto Patronum' just before he arrived. You must admit it was much more dramatic." She eyed both of the Doctors in turn, a wicked grin twitching at the corners of her lips. "Not that either of you two would know about dramatic..."<br><br>She giggled as the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors bantered with each other, turning her head to each of them as they spoke. <br><br>"While I must admit your focus is a bit misplaced," she said to the eleventh, arching an eyebrow, "I also must admit the bow tie does add a certain... charm." With that she looked back at the tenth. Laughing, she patted both of them on the back before walking over to her Doctor and standing before him with a wide smile.<br><br>"You truly made an entrance," Robin said, placing her hands on her hips. "I mean really, I never realized you'd object to me getting married <em>that</em> intensely. For someone who has still yet to pop the question you're quite protective, Doctor." Then she winked at him and held her arms out. <br><br>"May I please have a hug now?"

				"See, I told you. Bow ties are cool," the Eleventh spoke smugly whilst the Tenth chuckled and took a seat on one of the many unoccupied benches, resting his sneaker covered feet on the side of it as he said, "No wonder she gets along with that Doctor. She's just as mad as he is," the Doctor said before smirking and adding, "I'm a bit jealous."<br><br>The Doctor had been in the process of explaining to the fifth and sixth Doctors the exact reason why he had not decided to style his blond hair the same way they had styled theirs when Robin approached. When he noticed her coming he grinned broadly before turning to his other forms and finishing the conversation with, "Just understand Sixth, if I had curly blond hair then I would have to wear a multicolored patchwork clown costume like you and I really don't think I have the hips or sanity to pulls it off. And as for you fifth, my cricket arm is terrible, I'm more of a water sports type of guy. You should see me play water polo. The horses get soaked."<br><br>He smiled coyly at Robin and walked towards her, absentmindedly looking over the damage of the church before saying, "Of course I would object. Robin Baker, get married? Not on my watch. Your mother said that you're to become a Nun and turn your back on the company of men," the Doctor said before his gaze dropped to her waist and with a chuckle said. "Not that I would mind that much. Your backs rather nice to look at."<br><br>The moment he stopped talking the Doctor lunged towards Robin and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her into a tight embrace. His eyes shut tight as he rested his head against hers and took in the happy, healthy, unmarried Time Lord.<br><br>"No more traps," the Doctor murmured against her shoulder. "I am sick to death of getting led into traps. Today I nearly got you killed <em>again</em> because of leading you into a trap. From now on I'm going to be careful." He paused and thought over what he had said before juggling with the idea and saying, "Well...maybe not too careful. I don't want to be boring."

				"Me, get killed?" Robin said, smiling softly and holding onto the Doctor with all she had. "Apparently <em>that</em> is as close to impossible as the two of us will ever get." Grinning a little wider, she breathed in the smell of him, her Doctor, and it was the best thing she'd ever smelled. After a moment she pulled back, holding him at arms' length and giving him a once-over.<br><br>"I caught that comment about my back, you pervert," she said to him, before walking around him in a slow circle, hips swaying. "What've you got on me, around a thousand years? If I didn't know any better, I might think <em>someone</em> is having a midlife crisis." Giggling, she looked back at the tenth and eleventh Doctors. "But from the way those two are looking, apparently you're right." Then she took him back into a hug, looking over his shoulder at the other two again. "Jealous, boys?" But when she returned her attention to her Doctor, her smile became more sincere.<br><br>"Thank you," she said earnestly. "I mean I knew you'd never let me down, but thank you. In the middle of all these Doctors in this room, you're the one I know came back for me." Her eyes sparkled with tears but Robin refused to let them fall. Softly, she took his hand. "Thank you." Suddenly, the doors of the Doctor's TARDIS opened and a head of curly red hair poked out.<br><br>"Umm," Allen said, scratching his head. "Can we come out now?"

				"Robin, I'm a Time Lord that's spent his entire life flying about the universe with strange people not even a tenth of my age. I've been going through a mid life crisis for over a hundred years," the Doctor said before pointing at the second Doctor on the other side of the room. "Just ask him, he decided to run away from Gallifrey because he was bored. His whole existence practically screams <em>I'm getting old and I can't handle it</em>"<br><br>"Plus, look at those two. One of them has side burns and the others wearing a bow tie. It's like they never left the seventies," the Doctor said as he nodded at the Tenth and Eleventh, who scowled at him playfully.<br><br>"Look whose talking Point Break. You've been alive for months and you still haven't bought yourself a new suit. I fought Lazerus in that tattered old thing," the Tenth said with a smirk. "Someones still pining for the old days."<br><br>"Oi, shut it Tenth. I'm hugging Robin," the Doctor called as they embraced again. Squeezing her tight in his arms before whispering, "You don't need to thank me. I said I would save you. I keep my promises."<br><br>"You two aren't going to start kissing are you?" The Eleventh called over before checking the gold watch he wore on the back of his wrist. "Because soon we are going to need to properly close the paradox dimension and repair the TARDIS. If we don't the world will be overpopulated by the billions of Doctors multiplying on its surface. So don't get distracted by snogging you old lecher!"<br><br>"River was right, there really are some times when you just want to slap me," the Doctor breathed against Robin before his head turned to look at the ginger mop that poked out of the TARDIS. He grinned at Allen before asking, "That depends, are you going to be less ginger?" <br><br>He turned to the Tenth and the Eleventh before pointing at Allen and crying "Isn't it unfair that he's so ginger? We summoned three hundred Doctors into this church and I can't see a single red head amongst them! Why is he so lucky?!"

				Robin could have stayed like that all day, hugging the Doctor and feeling his breath, cool on her neck; hearing the other versions of him laughing and talking, her laughing right along with them... Somehow this day had gone from being the worst day ever to being the best, and it had all switched so suddenly. But maybe that was how life was with the Doctor, all extreme highs and lows. <br><br>And Robin would have it no other way.<br><br>She then kissed the Doctor's shaggy cheek before turning back to the Eleventh and smirking. But when her brother peeked out of the TARDIS, she had to let go of her Doctor as she cried out in happiness. She ran to him, pulling him into a tight embrace and dragging him out of the blue box. In her new body she had an inch on him, which was very strange because before he'd towered over her. But that didn't matter. All that mattered was that he was safe.<br><br>"Oh, Ally!" she yelled, pulling back to look at his freckled face. "I'm so happy you're okay!" Her brother's cheeks flamed instantly and he scratched the back of his head.<br><br>"Don't call me that," he said through gritted teeth. "God, even when you're a Time Lord you're embarrassing." Robin simply laughed, and finally Allen joined in as she hugged him again. Turning, she put an arm around his shoulder and looked at the three Doctors looking at his bright hair with envy.<br><br>"What can I say, my family's got good genes!"

				The sound of heavy boots on wood was heard as the Seventh, Eighth and Third Doctors walk the Master towards them. His hands were locked in place before him with a huge pair of heavy looking handcuffs, that weighed him down so much that his body sagged forwards. His dark eyes were full of bitterness as he looked out at the Doctor and Robin.<br><br>"So Doctors, what shall we do with him?" The Seventh asked, tilting the Master's chin up with the point of his umbrella. "Gallifrey is gone, so we do not have a cell that could contain him, and no rrrrroom on Earth could possibly hold such insanity."<br><br>"I don't particularly like the idea of killing him," the Eighth spoke whilst his eyes met the masters. "There's been too many moments when we believed that he was dead and yet he comes back from the grave to haunt us. Remember new years eve in the USA? He possessed a big burly American and almost turned the world inside out."<br><br>"But he cannot be left to hurt again," the Third spoke firmly. "The Master is far too much of a threat to the safety of the universe. We cannot just let him go."<br><br>"I must say, all your debating is very flattering," the Master chuckled before he looked past the Doctor and at the Tenth that stood behind him, who met his gaze with a dark stormy look. "Look at his face," the Master cackled. "The last two times he encountered me he tried to keep me as a pet, but now he's all quiet, because he knows that there's only one thing that you can do."<br><br>"Murder you," the Doctor spoke bluntly. "Execute you. Kill you. Destroy you. Obliterate you. Slaughter you. Condemn you to the same death sentence that you would sentence us to," the Doctor said before taking a step forwards, putting himself between the Master and Robin as he looked into the mad man's eyes.<br><br>The other seven Doctors had now walked forwards to join in with the discussion that was taking place between themselves. Although every single one of them had a different look on their face as they watched the two, they all had the same sense of unease.<br><br>"We'll spare him," the Doctor said after a moments thought. "Once everything is back to normal he will be one of the only Time Lords left in the universe. We can't get rid of him, seeing as he's part of an endangered species."<br><br>"Are you insane?" The Second Doctor cried, his dark brow narrowing in his menacing glare. "If we let him go then he will go on to kill even more people. He will try to conqueror everything!"<br><br>"I'm not letting him go," the Doctor muttered before looking over at the Master's TARDIS, that still stood behind the altar, the gargoyle on top of it still glaring down at them. "I was more thinking along the lines of taking his TARDIS, deactivating it and stranding him on Nazelha."<br><br>The Master's smirk evaporated. The look he had on his face was not one of fear, but dread.<br><br>"Remember that planet Robin?" The Doctor asked with delight. "I threatened to send you there once, you were being really cheeky to me. Its a dull planet home to a partially evolved race that does nothing except play Dominoes. I'm sure they would love to have the Master for company.

				Robin watched and listened as the Doctors debated over what to do with the Master. On the one hand, he did need to be stopped somehow, and punished severely. On the other hand, it would be terrible to have to kill him, since he was one of the last remaining Time Lords. But the more Robin thought about it, the more she was siding on the side that said to kill him.<br><br>As she realized that, she froze. Where had that sentiment come from? The entire time she'd traveled with the Doctor, she knew that no matter what they did, or who tried to kill them, she never wanted to kill anyone. So why, when faced with the Master, did she suddenly feel the urge to lunge forward and wrap her hands around his neck? <br><br>Quickly she shook her head, knowing she would never do it. She chalked it up to all the crazy new Time Lord energy that was coursing through her body... That and the fact that he'd tortured her and made her do something so horrible that she didn't even want to look at herself in a mirror. Gently, she tugged herself closer to the Doctor, trying to borrow some of his strength.<br><br>Robin smiled softly. It made her better, being close to her Doctor. As soon as she looked at him she knew that his decision to spare the evil Time Lord was the right one. When she turned her gaze back to the Master, though, her eyes darkened, looking almost black in the dim light of the church. It was a look that closely resembled one that the Tenth Doctor wore.<br><br>Looking at him made her remember everything. It almost felt like she had more fresh bruises from just meeting his eyes. But when the light left them as the Doctor revealed his plans, it entered Robin's again. Of course. It was perfect. Exile the Master to a place so boring he couldn't help but feel angry at going there. She turned back to the Doctor.<br><br>"I think that's an excellent idea," Robin said, grinning. "At least now I have some insurance that you'll never <em>actually</em> send me there. I mean besides the fact that you love my cheekiness, deep down."

				"I guess not. I suppose I'll just have to think of another way to punish you if you're cheeky to me," the Doctor said before grinning and waggling his eyebrows at her, causing the other Doctors to suddenly let out a loud, heavy, unified groan. The Doctor looked around in confusion and exclaimed, "What, what did I do?"<br><br>"Is it not obvious?" The Sixth Doctor asked, rearing his head back a little with a pompous sneer. "You and the girl and all this nauseating flirting. Have you forgotten the days when we didn't try to court the people we showed the wonders of the universe to? It sound like you have forgotten what it means to be a gentlemen." <br><br>"Really Doctor, I shared a kiss or two with Grace, but at least I was romantic about it," the Eighth Doctor said lightly whilst pointing back and fourth at the two of them. "Why do you need to do all this back and fourth?"<br><br>"Okay, first off, I'm not hitting on Robin. She may be incredible. She may be a Time Lord with a pretty face, nice lips, lovely dark hair and a rather saucy body, but I am just as much a gentlemen as any of your blokes are," the Doctor said defiantly, placing his hands on his hips in an attempt to look more enforcing. "And by the way number eight, your romance mainly consisted of snogging Grace while you were on a regeneration rush. You practically mounted her!"<br><br>"And you!" The Doctor cried as he spun towards the Sixth and waggled his finger at him. "You let Peri walk about the TARDIS in a tube top and short shorts, her chest was practically bursting out! Tell me again about how you're a proper gentlemen?"<br><br>The Tenth Doctor snickered and the Doctor whirled on his heel to face him.<br><br>"Tenth...don't even start. Rose, Martha, Madame du Pompadour, Astrid, Christina, Elizabeth the first! I'm surprised you haven't been dragged on Jerry Springer for your ungentlemanly behavior" the Doctor spat, causing the Tenth to clam up, much to the amusement of the other Doctors.&nbsp; "Oi you're just as bad Eleventh! And Ninth get that smug look off your face, you got snogged by Jack Harkness!"<br><br>"Oh my word... enough you fools!" The First Doctor sighed, clutching his temple with exhaustion. "All of you are making me dread my inevitable future. Doctor, there is much to do. We really should move on."<br><br>"Right you are chief, get the other Doctors to send the Master on his way and start contacting the Doctors on Earth. We need to get this dimension closed off and return Gwen and the other resistance fighters back home," the Doctor said with a nod of agreement. "Once we're done with that, we'll work on de-dividing ourselves."<br><br>"De-dividing? Are you sure you regenerated from us?" The Fifth Doctor asked skeptically.<br><br>"Shut it Fifth, you're wearing a piece of celery," the Doctor said pointedly, right before him and the Tenth Doctor gave each other a small high five.

				Robin listened to the Doctors, her giggles slowly turning into a mad cackling sort of laugh. She found herself hardly able to breathe she was laughing so hard, her hand gripping the Doctor's arm as though it was a lifeline. It was interesting to hear about all the Doctor's past relationships, especially from them as separate individuals... Since in reality they were all the same person. <br><br>It was like bearing witness to a conversation inside the mind of a Dissociative Identity Disorder patient.<br><br>"Oi, if you're all so jealous, I'm sure we can figure out plenty of ways for you to punish my cheekiness if any of you would like to stick around longer," Robin said, placing a hand on her hip. Then she turned to face her Doctor, narrowing her eyes. "And you went into much more detail describing me just then, Doctor, why didn't you tell me any of that when I asked before?"<br><br>Allen gave a groan, having been forgotten during the argument between the Doctors. He had clapped his hands over his ears, but from the expression on his face it his tactics hadn't succeeded in blocking much out. Robin giggled again at his pained expression.<br><br>"Are y'all done now?" he asked, lowering his hands warily. "This is just... disgusting." Robin looked at him with an eyebrow raised.<br><br>"Oh, Ally," she said, drawing another groan from him. "You've got to get used to your sister being a grown up sooner or later. Especially with all this new Time Lord energy inside me..." He waved his hands, looking like he was going to be sick.<br><br>"I'm going to wait with Strax in the TARDIS if you're all going to... you know." With that, he scuttled off. Robin turned back around, grinning wickedly at all the Doctors.

				"Robin stop flirting with all twelve of me. That's just greedy," the Doctor scolded lightly whilst his other forms awkwardly shuffled on the spot. The youngest Doctors looked taken back by the girls scandalous behavior, whilst the older Doctors just blushed and exchanged amused and nervous glances. The Doctor rolled his eyes before sighing frustratedly, "For Pete's sake, can we all just get our heads out the gutter. I can't even begin to describe how weird that.... you know.... I... urgh!"<br><br>The Doctor groaned before marching after Robin as she fled to the TARDIS, leaving the Doctors staring after him with disbelief.<br><br>"Oi where are you going?" The Tenth shouted after him. "You've got to lend a hand too!"<br><br>"I'm sure you can handle it. Your <em>brilliant</em> after all!" The Doctor called back to him before barging through the doors of the TARDIS with a smirk. "I just bossed around my other forms. Its Christmas!" The Doctor cheered....before letting out a yelp and ducking as a gigantic blast of red energy exploded above his head.<br><br>"Get behind me Miss Baker! The Master has infiltrated our base! I shall annihilate him with haste!" Strax announced from the controls of the TARDIS, which he leaned upon whilst aiming his gigantic gun again at the Doctor and prepared to unleashed another fatal blast of energy.<br><br>"Strax you idiot! Its me!" The Doctor roared, gazing up with horror at the huge charred spot on the doors where the blast had hit. "Put that gun down before you blow up my TARDIS! I swear, I'll be really angry if you do that. The Eleventh will never let me live it down!"<br><br>Strax dropped the weapon with a loud clang and looked sulkily at his feet. The Doctor walked over to him and shifted the gun to one side, glaring at the Sontaran before suddenly throwing his arms around him and holding him tight.<br><br>"Oh you stupid little psycho. What would I do without you?" The Doctor asked lovingly before planting a kiss on Strax's oily head, ignoring the retching feeling that coursed through him. He pulled back and slapped him on the shoulder, grinning at him broadly as he said, "Without you Strax, I may not have survived today. Me and Robin owe you our lives."<br><br>The Doctor hesitated for a moment before adding, "I mean, I still did virtually everything, but I'm willing to give you twenty percent of the credit."

				As Robin heard the Doctor enter the TARDIS, she whirled to face him, but then let out a small yelp of surprise when Strax blasted his gun at the Doctor. But she started laughing again once the Doctor seemed safe, even going so far as to kiss the little alien on the head. Robin knew firsthand how disgusting that particular act was but for some reason kissing the war-hungry Sontaran was too much fun to stop. <br><br>Her expression grew a feigned look of outrage as the Doctor spoke again.<br><br>"Oi, don't forget to give me some of that credit too!" she teased, before winking and grinning at the Doctor. "By the way, did you see how well I flustered all twelve of you out there? Even your first forms couldn't look at me with a straight face." She heard another groan and looked to the side of the room, where Allen was sitting on the floor.<br><br>"If it bothers you so much, go find another room!" she said, laughing at her brother. Then, she looked back at the Doctor, before marching up and poking a finger softly into his chest. "We need to get Allen home as soon as you've straightened this whole thing out. Now that Mom and Dad are awake they're going to be worried about him." Robin pulled a face as she thought of her parents.<br><br>"Also," she added as though pained, her voice growing a little sad, "it would probably be better if... They thought I was dead."

				"Yes, yes. You are the queen of seduction and we are mere mortals," the Doctor sighed as he stepped away from Robin and began to fiddle with the controls of the TARDIS, doing is best to avoid the big shining wound in its board as he darted about. The way he flipped the switches and turned the cogs with such eagerness showing just how much he had missed the old girl while he was sealed away.<br><br>"To answer your earlier question, I didn't tell you what I thought because I knew it would go to your head," the Doctor said before kicking off his shoes and jumping onto the controls once more and flipping the switches with his toes. "Look at you, still bustling with energy. This new regeneration of yours has given you man hungry eyes. I didn't want to get pounced on every time I decided to look a little more dashing about the TARDIS."<br><br>"Are you a hundred percent certain that you don't want to be called Vixen?" The Doctor asked, before suddenly freezing up as he realised what Robin had just said. He slid off the control of the TARDIS and walked up to the girl, tilting his head to look her in the eye before hesitantly asking, "I'm sorry, come again?"

				"I'm a hundred percent certain," Robin said, cracking a small smile. "Though I do want a cool nickname, we'll have to come up with one later." Then she sighed, pressing her long, thin fingers to her temples and massaging lightly. "I don't know, Doctor. The more I think about it the more I think it's a good idea. If all of my friends and family... Well, with the exception of Allen of course... If they all thought I was dead and not coming back, it might be a little safer for them. Then we could move them and probably change their names so that no one feels the need to come after them to get to me. Someone like the Master. It'd be kind of like witness protection."<br><br>She shook her head, leaning into the Doctor's chest gently.<br><br>"It might sound stupid but I just want them to be safe." Staying where she was, she broke a sunny smile, trying to lighten up a bit. "But anyway, if you thought that keeping your opinion to yourself would stop me pouncing on you... You were sorely mistaken." She then pushed back from him, looking toward Allen. Her smile fading slightly, she walked over and kneeled next to him, starting to explain her plan.

				"I shouldn't look forward to her pouncing. I really shouldn't. She's terrifying," the Doctor said with a shake of his head before looking grimly towards Allen as Robin sat down to explain her plan. His stare turned cold and his face became dark as he thought over her request.<br><br>In his long life he had done terrible things as well as great things. In his first form he had kidnapped innocent people to stop them from spreading the word about his TARDIS, in his seventh form he had constantly manipulated people into doing his bidding for the sake of the greater good, even going so far as to shun and spur those who were closest to him. In his Tenth form he had risked destroying everything by interfering with a fixed point in time and in his Eleventh form he had left Amy Ponds older form to die after a freak time accident. And of course, he had been the one to kill the Daleks and Time Lords in the most horrid war of them all.<br><br>Yet again, the moment had arisen for him to do something terrible. He would have to inform a family that their child was dead, for the truth was far too dangerous for them to handle. Allen would be stuck with a grieving family, tearing himself apart as he watched them mourn over the daughter that they had lost. The daughter that he had caused them to loose.<br><br>The Doctor shook the thought out of his head before striding over to the doors of the TARDIS and poking his head outside.<br><br>"Oi one to eleven! Time to go!" The Doctor called before stepping back to let in the twelve Doctors, who sauntered in one by one.

				Allen sat in silence after Robin had finished speaking. On the one hand, he understood that her plan was probably a good idea. It would keep their parents safe, even though it would crush them. But on the other hand, he didn't want to be the one to have to live with it for the rest of his life. The one to have to look at his parents' faces every day, them trying to be strong for him even though they really had no reason to. To have to lie to them every second...<br><br>"I don't like it," he said softly, not looking at her. "But I know you probably know better than me. So if you think it's best... we'll do it." Robin took his hand gently, giving it a little squeeze.<br><br>"It isn't like you can never see me again," Robin said. "I'll come visit you when I can. I can see you grow up, keep you up to date with all our shenanigans... And who knows, maybe one day something insane will happen again, like the TARDIS picking them up... And we can tell them. One day I'll tell them, I promise." A tear leaked from Robin's eye and she looked away from her brother, before plastering a smile on her face and jumping up as the other Doctors came walking in.<br><br>"Hello, boys," she said, placing a hand on her hip. "Think of any suitable punishments for me yet?"

				"I thought of taking your nose and never giving it back, but I thought that would be a bit cruel," the Tenth chuckled as he walked in, causing all the other Doctor's to groan from the horror of the lame joke. "Hey, either one of us makes a joke or we all stand around feeling awkward and a bit jealous that blondie over there gets to stick around with her."<br><br>"I am not jealous at all," the first doctor announced before clapping his hands. "In fact I think the blondie should act his age and stop being such a lecherous old fiend. Now enough dillydallying, every link hands. It is time to realign the time lines," the Doctor explained before the twelve Doctors moved into a circle and linked arms.<br><br>"Sir, just how are you going to fix the problem of your....uh...condition?" Strax asked hesitantly as he watched the Doctors form a circle around the TARDIS, some of them hesitantly holding hands as they realised that their moment of life had drawn near to a closer.<br><br>"We're going to link up and approach the wound of the TARDIS, once one of us comes into contact with it the rest will be pulled in and our Time Line will be repaired and almost all of us along with the billions of other Doctors, shall vanish," the Doctor explained with a grimace, before suddenly staring accusingly at the first doctor and exclaiming, "Wait lecherous?!"<br><br>"Guys, lets keep focused here," the Ninth spoke, interrupting the Doctor's moment of outrage. "On three. One, two, thre-"<br><br>"Wait!" The Doctor yelled before any of the Doctors could take a single step. "Just wait a minute. Look around us," the Doctor said with a smile as he gestured to the ring of Doctors. "This has been the first time that all twelve of us have been in the same place. I know that we've met each other at different times, but this is something else. I think we need to celebrate."<br><br>"Is it really necessary?" The Third Doctor asked. "Once the Time Line is fixed, only you will remember that we were even here."<br><br>"I know, and way to put a downer on it number three," the Doctor muttered. "But I just thought, since we may not see each other again, that it would be great if I could say a few words to mark the occasion."

				Robin rolled her eyes at the Tenth Doctor's lame attempt at a joke, though she was slightly mollified when he said they were all jealous. But as the First spoke up about the fact that he wasn't, the female Time Lord stuck her tongue out like a child. Her face grew a bit more serious when all the Doctors gathered into a circle, linking arms.<br><br>This would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone present. All the Doctors being together was already such a paradox, but to see them jump into the heart of the TARDIS to fix their timelines... It was truly incredible. It would be like seeing the Time Vortex at work, or seeing the inner workings of the universe itself. <br><br>"I agree," Robin said, sauntering up to stand by her Doctor. "I think there should be a celebration. Maybe we should take a picture! Or a video! Can I go find some champagne?" Then she looked around again with narrowed eyes. "And you keep saying 'blondie' in such a condescending way... I think you look quite dashing with blonde hair!"

				"Oh lay off him Robin, he's just being the grumpy old fart that he always is," the Doctor said before breaking away from the ring and walking up to the old man. He looked into his dark eyes and smiled fondly before nudging him on the shoulder. "I loved being you. I loved being every single one of you," the Doctor said as he turned to look around the circle. "The old man in the blue box who dies again and again and again, fighting evil and being incredible, utterly incredible, while he does it. No matter what flavor I was, I loved every single form."<br><br>"Even you old fella, I sort of miss the limp and the hmmm hmmm yes's and that clever smile you wear," the Doctor said to the First and offered him a smile, which he returned after a stern moment of holding the sides of his coat and raisin his nose snootily. "And then there was the Second, acting like a fool to make and making people laugh as he behaved like a kid. And then having him scowl and snap whenever he got mad. Ooo that glare. I felt like a right warlord whenever I gave people that menacing glare."<br><br>The Doctor winked at the Second, who had been occupied with blowing into a recorder flute, when he saw the wink he gave the Doctor that menacing stare before grinning impishly at him.<br><br>"And the amazing changes didn't stop. In my Third form I was dashing and suave, which is hard to pull off when you have white curly hair and are dressed in purple velvet, and I could hurl people through the air with a flick of my wrist," the Doctor said before miming a karate chop and beaming at the Third Doctor, who couldn't help twisting his wrinkled flexible face into a smile.<br><br>"Then I was the fourth, all teeth and curls, jelly babies and robotic dogs - and FUNNY!" The Doctor cried as he pointed at the Fourth, who chuckled and blushed before offering the Doctor a jelly baby from a crinkled white bag, to which the Doctor eagerly accepted, tossing the treat into his open mouth before he continued. "Wasn't he funny guys? He drove the Brigadier up the wall and made Robin's mum want to tear out her hair, but he was funny!"<br><br>"Fifth came along after him and Tenth, you'll agree with me when I say that was a right laugh," the Doctor said after swallowing the treat and giving the Tenth Doctor a nod as he pointed to the Fifth, who seemed to smile shyly before adjusting his white cricket shirt. "Running about, playing cricket, getting into sword fights with the Master and pulling off a decorative vegetable of all things. Seriously, how do you do that? Its a piece of celery and you wear it like a lapel."<br><br>"Although, number Six, you were no better. Sixth, you were barmy!" The Doctor cried as he rushed over to the Sixth and flung an arm around his shoulder. The Sixth seemed to take the comment as a compliment and grinned devilishly as the Doctor went on, "You were the maddest of the lot of us, and that's saying something, but you were amazing at it. You made it work! I still crack up every time I remember Peri almost plugging me because she thought I was one of the cyber controlled policemen."<br><br>"Do you remember that?" The Doctor asked excitedly before miming putting on a hat and pulling a strange smile. He and the Sixth roared with laughter, bracing themselves on each other as they chuckled, whilst the other Doctors looked awardly at each other, clearly not finding it quite as amusing as them.<br><br>"Seventh!" The Doctor cried as he broke away from the Sixth and marched up to the Seventh, who was balancing himself on the point of his umbrella. For a moment the two of them glared fiercely at each other, but then a sly smile broke across the Doctors face and he began to waggle his finger at him. "You were a rogue. Manipulative and ruthless, but not one of us could play with spoon like you could. You were the adventurer with the master plan, the rrrrrolling rrrrs and the umbrella. You were fantastic! The trouble we got up to with Ace, we were like a dynamic duo! Saving the world and fighting crime!"<br><br>"Shame about the operating table regeneration, nasty way to go, but without it we couldn't have gotten to number Eight over here," the Doctor said before turning on his heel to face the Eighth, who smiled pleasantly as the Doctor walked towards him, gesturing excitedly to him with every step. "Shoes! Mary Shelly! Victorian clothes! Personally, I preferred it when you cut your hair short and started wearing leather coats, but you were still amazing. And may I just say..." the Doctor began, wearing a mischievous grin as he nudged him with his elbow. "Nice going with Grace. You were the Doctor that finally got us to puberty."<br><br>"Is this going to take long? I'm all for getting my ego stroked, but my hands are starting to get tired," the Ninth groaned, causing the Doctor to throw back his head and laugh loudly at him. "Oh I remember that! I was so rude when I was you! You were all war like and fierce, but lovably cheeky. My favorite line was when you said <em>'What you gonna do, throw your A-levels at him?'</em>, that was priceless!"<br><br>"And so was number ten..." the Doctor&nbsp; said his voice trailing off as he turned to the tenth, who feigned a look of bashfulness as the Doctor came over to him and shook him by the hand. "Tenth, need I say more? The thin man in the suit and sneakers, gigantic hair and cheesy grins. And the talking, the endless, amazing, talking! You had a clever remark to say about everything and anyone! And I loved it. I loved being you. You were just incredible."<br><br>"Not that you were bad at Eleventh," the Doctor added as the Eleventh let out an angry huff. "Tweed, bow ties and endless mistakes, which you always sorted out despite the odds," the Doctor said wistfully as he let go of the Tenth's hand and moved over to him being miming a kiss on both of the Eleventh's cheeks.<br><br>"You were a dork." The Doctor said bluntly, causing the Eleventh to glare at him with disbelief before he quickly added. "But, you were a brilliant dork. The big kid trapped inside an ancient Time Lords body. The Ponds, River Song, Clara Ozwin Oswald, you had a huge selection of awesome companions and drove them nuts! Not to mention fat Craig, I dropped by on him a few weeks ago, called the police, he didn't know who I was."<br><br>"In conclusion," the Doctor said as he backed up into the centre of the circle and applauded the Doctors. "Each and every one of you was incredible. And although I never enjoy regenerating, I still enjoyed being you. Having so much variety in my life. I'm kind of blessed in a way." <br><br>"So come on, lets get ourselves a round of applause," the Doctor said before clapping slowly. "Come on, all of you!" He called before the Doctors slowly started to join in until the TARDIS was full of applause. "You were all brilliant! Amazing! Splendid! Fantastic and more!" The Doctor roared, punching his fist into the air.

				Robin listened to her Doctor speak, her eyes flitting to each of his other forms as he talked about them. They were all so wildly different, especially in appearance. From the old man with the curly gray hair and the cane to the man with a big chin and floppy hair wearing a bow tie, they all had their own style, their own face their own personality.<br><br>Yet underneath their varying appearances, they somehow managed to stay the same. In all of them it was easy to see that sort of rogue undercurrent, the fierce morality, the slightly mad brilliance. It carried on through each of the Doctor's regenerations and Robin was very glad for that. Without having had each of these regenerations, the Doctor would not be who he was... The man who saved the Earth over and over again, even though it wasn't his own planet... Even though his own people were all gone.<br><br>She chuckled along with each of his stories, flashing the Fifth a grin as his celery was put under scrutiny. It was very true, the Doctor with that face was the only one who could get away with wearing a vegetable pinned to his clothes. It made Robin want to somehow go back and travel with each of them, even though that was impossible.<br><br>When he reached the Ninth, she crossed her arms and looked at him. The purple jumper, the leather jacket, the fiercely short hair... He was sort of militant. But when that grin came out, it was the goofiest, most adorable grin and Robin wished she could see it all the time. <br><br>Then came the Tenth, and though she would never admit it out loud, he was her favorite. His hair, his suit, his shoes... His laugh, smile, that cheeky way he had of just rambling on and on while making sort of snide comments... If she didn't have her Doctor, she would easily have wanted to travel around with him, just to hear him talk all the time and to see that cheeky smile that so mirrored her own.<br><br>And the Eleventh... He looked so young, with all his hair and his baby face. Robin grinned, thinking about all the endless torture she could put him through. With the bow tie, the strange way he had of looking around in a sort of bewildered way... <br><br>Any of these Doctors would have been fantastic to travel with and Robin was sad they all had to go. Eagerly, she joined in when they all started applauding, her smile so wide and bright it hurt her face. Allen had gotten up and was clapping too, his smile almost as wide as his sister's. Even Strax had joined along, though somehow he managed to make his applause as militant as possible.<br><br>When the noise had died down a bit, Robin stepped forward.<br><br>"I'm nowhere near as eloquent as you all are," she said softly. "But mainly I just wanted to thank you again. Each of you individually played such an important part today, and we all owe you our lives... As usual. You're all amazing and I'm so glad I got the chance to meet you."

				"Oh it was nothing. No trouble at all. A trifle really," The First Doctor spoke, smiling smugly as he and his other forms began to revel in her thanks. The Doctor sighed heavily as they all began to chatter amongst themselves, bickering about who helped the most during the crisis.<br><br>"Look what you've done. A few little words from a pretty girl and chaos ensues. I swear, you better start trying to make yourself look less pretty or dress modestly when we start traveling or else you might cause interstellar war," the Doctor joked with Robin before walking back to his place in the circle, just between the First and the Eleventh Doctor.<br><br>"All right boys, its time for us to go," the Doctor said as they ceased their chatter and grinned at each other mischievously. "On the count of three everyone," the Doctor said before taking a step back along with each of the Doctors, as they prepared to jump into the glowing wound, that waited before them, still shining with bright infinite light. <br><br>"One, two, three...GERONIMO!" The Doctor yelled before rushing towards the wound and leaping at it, pulling the Doctors with him as they divided towards their side of the TARDIS. <br><br>Just before they vanished, one thing could be heard over the clunking of heavy foot steps, laughter and cries of elation. The Eleventh's cry of protest as he yelled, "Oi, that's my line!"<br><br>The moment the Doctor touched the wound the glowing ceased and the Doctor's vanished into thin air, leaving him draped over the controls of the TARDIS with his face pressed up against the glass tube. He let out a groan of pain as he slid off it and landed in a heap on the ground.<br><br>"Ow...shouldn't have pegged it at the wound. I should have realised that once it was gone I would just crash into the darn controls," he cursed before slowly getting to his feet and looking about the deck of the TARDIS whilst clutching his head. "Great, they're gone. Now I don't have to share the TARDIS or Robin." <br><br>His eyes widened and he almost gagged on his own words as he realised what he just said aloud. "Or you Allen, I wouldn't want to share you either!" He said hastily before groaning a he realised that what he had said was just as bad. "Or Strax. I couldn't share him! He's a funny troll monster with a laser!"

				Robin snickered at the blasé way the first Doctor responded to her thanks. The snicker turned into a laugh as they all began squabbling over which one of them had helped the most. Allen again groaned, dropping his head exasperated lot into his hands. <br><br>"Oh hush, you know you don't want me to change," Robin said as her Doctor resumed his place in the circle. Her grin was again bright as all the Doctors prepared to jump into the wound of the TARDIS, and she waved hard as they took their step back together. Then, as they jumped, her breath caught in her throat. But a laugh forced its way out when the Eleventh Doctor expressed his opposition to her Doctor's choice of word. <br><br>When the first of the Doctors touched the wound, all of them save hers disappeared, as did the gaping hole in the TARDIS. A blinding light flashed through the console room and then it was just Robin, Allen, Strax, and the newest Doctor in the big room. For a moment all that could be heard was the Doctor's groan... Until he spoke. Then Robin laughed so hard she had to lean against a rail, Allen gave another groan, and Strax began to grumble. <br><br>"Oh Doctor, you fiend," Robin said with a mischievous wink. "I knew you were greedy, but not even wanting to share with yourself... That's a whole new level." <br><br>"Enough!" Allen roared, clapping his hands over his ears. "God, I was thinking about asking to come with you guys, but I changed my mind! Take me home!" Robin cackled, walking to the Doctor and grabbing his hand. Leaning toward his ear, she spoke in a whisper, her breath ghosting along the curve of his neck. <br><br>"It's okay," she said. "I don't want to share you either."

				The Doctor's eyes bulged in their sockets as she whispered so tenderly into his ear. His body jerked out from under him as he lost his balance on the lever he had been clinging to as he dragged himself off the floor. It snapped down with a bang before the TARDIS started moving. The Doctor leaped to his feet and frantically began fiddling with the controls, trying his best to right the sudden mistake.<br><br>"Oh come on Allen. You know I would never...you know...I'm just..." the Doctor stammered as he rapidly flicked a line of switches before exclaiming. "Come on Allen, I'm a gentlemen! I have a blue box! Its blue, the color of gentlemanly things!"<br><br>"Sir, I am detecting an irregularity in your hearts beating. You seem to be experiencing some for of heart attack!" Strax called with alarm before racing up to the Doctor and placing a hand on his chest. "How peculiar, you also seem to be experiencing a hormonal increase. Are you sure that you are healed from the time fracture?"<br><br>"Strax! Stop talking! I'm trying to fly a Time Machine whilst Robin acts scandalous and her brother judges me!" The Doctor barked before grabbing one of the levers and slamming it forwards to halt the TARDIS in its journey. "There! Florida again! Now everybody pile out I want a moment to compose myself before Robin's dad tries to kill me."

				Robin's jaw dropped when the Doctor lost his balance after her whisper. She'd been expecting some sort of reaction but nothing quite so... Out of control. Her surprise only lasted a moment, though, before she was basically rolling on the floor with laughter. <br><br>When Strax started giving away the Doctor's inner turmoil her laughter only increased. It felt like she might explode with the force of her laughter. Allen was protesting again, practically yelling in his attempt to block out what was happening. Robin could hardly control herself, but she sobered up quickly as the Doctor announced that they'd arrived in Florida. Slowly, she stood, her face rapidly growing sad. Allen's did the same. <br><br>"I think I'm going to find something else to wear," Robin said quietly. "I don't think it would be good for them to think you'd replaced me so quickly." Walking to Allen, she kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly. "Thank you for being so brave. And remember, I'm going to visit you. I promise. I'll phone and I'll come see you when I can." Whirling, she looked at the Doctor. "Put them somewhere cool."<br><br>"I love you, Robin," Allen said softly. "I'll see you soon. Come on Strax, come meet my parents." Strax nodded, for once having nothing to say. Robin watched her brother leave. <br><br>"Love you too," she said, before running off to the wardrobe. Allen and Strax went outside, and the Doctor would be able to hear the Bakers' elated cries as their son appeared from the box. <br><br>"We came out as soon as we heard the noise!" Rita said, embracing her son tightly. "Is Robin in there? The Doctor? Oh, they had something to do with this, didn't they!" Then she seemed to see Strax for the first time. Both her and Dennis's faces lit up as they saw the alien. <br><br>"Mom, Dad, this is Strax. He's a Sontaran. But don't worry, he's uh... Good." Strax pounded his chest formally. <br><br>"Hello, puny human family!" He shouted. "I hope to one day destroy you in battle for the glory of Sontar!" For a second the Bakers' eyes were wide in shock. <br><br>"Um... Nice to meet you too," Dennis said. "Now where's Robin?"

				The Doctor was still as he heard the joyous cries of their sons return. He watched Robin as she left the room before letting out a deep, heavy, sigh and shaking his head slowly. Over a thousand years he had been alive and yet it didn't make what was about to come next any easier. <br><br>So many lives had been sacrificed in his name, so many families had been destroyed, and it was all his fault. The trail of heartbroken parents and lonely children was far too long. And now, he was about to add to it.<br><br>Painfully slowly, the Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and looked out at the family with a look of absolute remorse on his face.<br><br>"Mr and Mrs Baker...I'm sorry," he spoke softly, his eyes lowering to the ground. "I am so, so sorry."

				For a moment the Bakers did not seem to understand the Doctor. They had continued smiling, though their eyes grew confused as he spoke, until finally the smiles faded from their faces. Allen looked away, unable to watch as his parents' lives were crushed. Finally Rita spoke up. <br><br>"What?" She said, her voice small and hurt. "What? What?" Slowly, Dennis put an arm around his wife's shoulders and pulled her into his side. "No, no, that can't be possible. She was with you! You were supposed to keep her safe!" Her voice rose to a shout by the end as tears started leaking from her eyes. After a moment she could no longer speak through her sobbing. <br><br>"How?" Dennis's question was soft, his tears silent. "How did it... Happen?"

				"She died saving the world," the Doctor replied, managing to raise his gaze to meet his. "A couple of old enemies of mine were responsible for putting the world in jeopardy. They led me into a trap and crippled me. Robin found Stax here and brought him to heal me," the Doctor said as he nodded to the Sontaran, who seemed confused by the story, but did object at any point.<br><br>"While I was healing, Robin infiltrated my enemies base and destroyed the psychic beacon that was placing everyone on Earth into a coma," the Doctor spoke before gruffly adding. "She went down with the beacon."<br><br>"I failed you again Mr and Mrs Baker. I let her die, because I'm a stupid old fool he thought he was untouchable. And I'm not, I'm so very <em>very</em> weak," the Doctor whispered, the ache in his voice all too apparent. He gazed up at the sky and offered a weak smile as he listened to the sound of their neighbors chatting and cars driving past their house. The sound of normal life, that had now continued as it always had.<br><br>"You should know, that there are races who bared witness to this day. Aliens from all corners of the galaxy who will hear about how Robin Baker saved the world," the Doctor said as he dropped his gaze to look at them. "I will not go down as a hero, but she will. They will never, ever, forget that Robin Baker saved the Earth."

				"That's Robin," Dennis choked out, still-silent tears streaming down his cheeks. "Always thinking of others before... Before herself." Rita was wailing by this point, and would have crumpled to the ground had Dennis not been supporting her. Even Allen was crying, though for quite a different reason. It was horrible, watching his parents cry like that when their daughter was actually alive and well inside the TARDIS.<br><br>"Hey," he said, pulling his mother into a hug. "Robin wouldn't want us to be sad. And she wouldn't want us to be angry at the Doctor. She died saving everyone, Mom... You, me, the Doctor, everyone on the Earth. We have to stay strong for her, okay? We have to try and live on for her, even though she can't be with us. It's hard, but if we're as strong as Robin was, we can get through it."<br><br>By the time he was done speaking, Rita had straightened, and her sobbing had ceased. There was still a steady flow of tears dripping from her chin onto the ground but she managed to look at the Doctor without a trace of anger. After a moment she nodded before taking her husband's hand in hers, and then Allen's.<br><br>"Doctor," she said, her voice strained. "Thank you for everything. We know Robin was grateful for the time she got to be with you, and so we are too. Just... don't forget about her. And don't forget about us." Dennis wiped his nose on his sleeve, unable to speak. Allen looked at the Doctor.<br><br>"And don't forget... You said you needed to find new... accommodations for us," Allen said, twisting the story a bit.<br><br>"And if I may add something," Strax said, his voice uncharacteristically gentle, "I would like to stay with this human family until you have further need of me, sir. I think they could use my help and I can give them a firsthand account of Robin's bravery."<br><br>---<br><br>Inside the TARDIS, Robin's disguise had dropped. She was crying steadily, sitting on the floor of the wardrobe, trying to get everything out before the Doctor came back in to find her. After several minutes of sobbing, she stood, shaking her head and placing her 'just fine' expression back on her face. <br><br>"Okay," she said, wiping her eyes. "Okay." Then she began walking down the racks of clothes, shedding the outfit she wore as she did so. First, she replaced her bra, having to find a bit bigger size to fit her new curves. After that she stood in front of the mirror, contemplating what she thought her new style might be. A moment passed and she smiled, returning to the wardrobe.<br><br>She found a pair of black tights, which she pulled on eagerly. Then a plain black tank top, just to have something to cover up with. Looking through the shoes, she found a pair of nice black lace-up boots, sliding them onto her feet with ease. She picked up the pants she'd worn earlier and pulled the letter and the pen-looking device, quickly putting them back into the locket to examine later.<br><br>Scurrying back up to the console room, she looked all around until her eyes finally landed on what she'd seen earlier. A sweater of the Doctor's, blue and white striped, hanging over one of the rails. With a little grin she pulled it on. It was a big enough size so that it was slightly below her waist. She thought she may not wear it forever but for now it would be sufficient to distract the Doctor a little... Sufficiently short, that is.<br><br>With that, she waited, not wanting to watch what was happening outside.

				"Never," he replied with a nod before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a thick wallet from his coat pocket. He opened it up, revealing it to be chocked full of various business cards, and flicked through them before picking out one and handing it to Allen. "This is a colleague of a friend of mine. His name is Rex Matheson. He's tough, but I'm sure he could benefit from hearing from you."<br><br>"Strax, protect them. That's an order," the Doctor said in a low voice to his friend before giving him a curt nod and patting him on the shoulder.<br><br>Without another word, the Doctor turned his back on the grieving family and stepped into the TARDIS.<br><br>A clean break, that was what they needed, and the Doctor would make sure that the healing was as smooth and painless as it could be, but he would never forget their despair. Regardless of what Robin might say, he still caused this. He was still the one to lead their daughter through the valley of death.<br><br>And he would never forgive himself. Just as he would never forgive himself for any of the other lives he had ruined.<br><br>He closed the door behind him and shut his eyes before letting out a heavy sigh. When he opened his eyes he looked upon Robin and let a smile cross over his face as he fought to push down the awful guilt, not wishing to make her pain any harder than it already was.<br><br>"Okay!" The Doctor cheered before rushing over to the controls at her side and flicking at the controls eagerly. "I have to go and check up on a few things. I need to find out if Gwen Cooper and Sky got back okay and I also need to drop Madame Vastra and Jenny back home. And UNIT will certainly want to have a chat with me about what went on."<br><br>"But you know what?" The Doctor asked before adjusting one of the gauges on the TARDIS and grinning at Robin. "I think we could stall for time a bit, don't you?" He asked before grabbing one of the gears and yanking it down, letting out a loud laugh as the TARDIS began its journey and let out the wonderful roar of its impossible engine.<br><br>The Doctor stepped back and admired the TARDIS with a grin as the crystals in its cosmic engine sank and bobbed. He watched it with interest and rubbed his hands together, excitement gleaming in his golden eyes before he said; "Your wearing my jumper..."

				Allen accepted the business card and looked at it, unwilling for the moment to even glance in the direction of his parents. He hated lying to them - he and Robin had always been as honest as they could with their family - and a lie this big was hard to cover up. After a second he tucked the card into his pocket and watched the Doctor walk back to the TARDIS.<br><br>"Rex Matheson works for Torchwood America," Strax said. "We should contact him as soon as possible. He will give you cover identities and I believe the Doctor wants you to work for them as well." Rita and Dennis seemed not to be paying attention, just holding each other. Finally, they began walking slowly back toward their house, tears still falling.<br><br>"Come on Strax," Allen said, his head hanging. "We can get everything set up."<br><br>---<br><br>Robin looked up as the Doctor entered. The first thing she noticed was that he seemed to be wearing a smile that was quite similar to hers... Falsely cheerful. She sighed, hating that she'd done this to him, to make him so sad. There was nothing easy about being a Time Lord, and Robin was now learning firsthand. A slightly more genuine smile touched her lips as she listened to the TARDIS make her noise. When the Doctor commented on what she was wearing she jumped up.<br><br>"Like it?" she asked, twirling. "I think it's flattering. But I agree, I think we can stall a bit. But don't you also need to go back and deliver all those sort of cryptic messages everyone was repeating? And I don't know why but I'm feeling... a little... tired..." Suddenly her eyes drooped and she fell, completely exhausted and almost immediately asleep.

				"It looks good on you. It brings out the color of your eyes and really suits your figure," the Doctor said with a nod as he looked over her. "Its also mine. Give it back," the Doctor joked before pressing three red buttons on the TARDIS controls, diverting the course of their flight.<br><br>"You do have a point. I really should get on spreading the word about the oncoming disaster. I wouldn't want to interfere with the time lines," he mused as he scratched his bristly chin before eventually nodding and fiddling with the controls again to the change the course of their journey one more time.<br><br>"It makes sense now, seeing as how I'm wearing my suit. They did all say that I was wearing black when I came to see them," the Doctor explained before looking down to admire the sleek black suit he was wearing. "My I look good. I think my Tenth form was just being cheeky to me earlier because he knows I wear this better than him. Don't you agree?"<br><br>"I bet you agree. I can't prove it obviously, you passed out six seconds ago, but I'm sure if you had been awake, you would have agreed," the Doctor said as he turned to Robin and gazed at her sleeping form, which leaned against the controls of the TARDIS. <br><br>He tittered and brushed a few strands of raven hair from her cheek, fondly stroking her sleeping face. The bruises from the conflict had now faded away thanks to the combination of Strax's medical skills and the excess regenerative energy that still lingered after her regeneration. Knowing that made the Doctor feel just a little uneasy, it had been a long time since he had traveled with a Time Lord as his companion and seeing this girl before him, with her whole future in front of her, was as nerve wracking as it was exciting.<br><br>"Time for bed Robin. Your bodies been under enough stress. Your regeneration cycle is demanding rest," the Doctor said before turning to the controls. "Luckily for you I have..." he flicked a switch and something light fluttered down from the ceiling and hung in mid air by a set of ropes. "Hammocks!"<br><br>He lifted her body into the cozy bed that dangled on the floor and tucked the cotton pillow that had fallen with it behind her head.<br><br>"You're trouble Robin," he spoke as he ducked under the controls of the TARDIS and pulled out a blanket from one of the compartments that lay under it. "Years of being the last Time Lord that wasn't insane or destined to die and now I have one on my ship who is not only beautiful and cheeky but the daughter of one of my closest friends. Its like the devil himself as sent you to drive me nuts," he said with a quiet laugh before adding. "Then again, I can't imagine that being true. I killed the devil after all."<br><br>The Doctor's feet were suddenly kicked out from under him as the entire room shook violently and a loud bang resounded through it. The Doctor yelped and came crashing to the floor, landing in a heap with a thud and a groan of pain.<br><br>"What the...?!" The Doctor cried as he stood up, untangling himself from the blanket that had wrapped around his legs during his fall. He looked up at the TARDIS with confusion as the entire deck of his ship was bathed in red light, the sign of an incoming disaster. "What the?!" The Doctor exclaimed before scrambling to the controls and making a move to yank down one of the screens that dangled from the ceiling.<br><br>"Why are you being like that old girl?" He said with confusion as he pulled the screen towards him. "You only do that as a warning to me. To tell me when I'm about to make a mistake like-" the Doctor stopped as he looked at the words on the screen. "-visiting a period of time I have already gone to."<br><br>The words on the screen made no sense. He couldn't have done what they were suggesting. Everything that the Master and the people from the resistance had told him during the last twenty hour hours had proved that it was not possible, yet the words on the screen told him that it was so.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Time Period Locked.

				Robin dreamed. The dreams were unsubstantial and fleeting, but dreams nonetheless. Sometimes they were memories, early memories that were filled with strange sounds and loud noises. Memories from before her conversion, in which she could see Romana's face trying to smile down at her even though she knew what she would have to do to Robin in the near future. <br><br>Some were memories of her childhood, running around with little Allen, laughing and having a wonderful time throwing dirt in each other's eyes. Those days had been so simple. After what had happened in recent days, it was hard for Robin to think that any time in her life had ever been simple. Her parents' faces flashed in images through her childhood. A single tear leaked from Robin's eye as she thought of the parents who now believed she was dead.<br><br>Others were memories of more recent times. Images of terrifying aliens, Daleks screeching and Cybermen shooting their red lasers at them... The latter starred in her dreams a lot, even the terror and pain she'd felt when she'd gotten shot surfaced several times. But what hurt the most wasn't the memory of dying, but the look on the Doctor's face as he'd realized he was losing her. <br><br>That look was the most painful thing she'd ever seen. It was a despair so deep and so many times felt that Robin had had a hard time even looking at it. The tears spilled over those golden eyes, tears that she had wished she could've kissed from his cheeks a thousand times over. But then he'd opened that locket and both of their lives had changed forever. And the shock on that face was a lot easier to look at than the sadness.<br><br>Around five hours passed before Robin even moved in the hammock. When she finally woke up, she stretched, almost toppling herself out of the hanging bed. A small smile spread across her mouth as she realized the Doctor had actually tucked her into bed. After a moment she sat and hopped out, still wearing his sweater and her tights and boots.<br><br>"Well, I feel better," she announced, placing a hand on her hip. "Now I seem to recall you requesting your sweater back... I mean I could take it off if you like. It wouldn't bother me one bit."

				"Robin Baker that is a simply outrageous statement," the Doctor responded from behind the pages of a book. He was leaning his back against the controls of the TARDIS, perched on the end of it with a book held in front of his face titled <em>Summer Falls, by Amelia Williams</em>. "There will be no stripping on the deck of the TARDIS. I forbade it ever since I walked in on a Mr and Mrs Pond playing a unique game of Poker. Couldn't look Rory in the eye for a week."<br><br>While Robin had slept the Doctor had changed out of his black suit and replaced it with a different one, a dark blue suit, similar to that of his duffel coat, which matched a formal buttoned shirt worn under a darker blue waistcoat. Around his neck loosely hung a small golden shield bolo tie which dangled around the open top button of his shirt, and on his head balanced a fedora hat, making the Doctor look like a strange combination between a cattle rustler and a gangster.<br><br>"Ready for a night on the town darling?" He asked with a twinkle in his eye as he shut the book and offered his hand to help her out of the hammock. "The night is young and the world is plentiful. I just hope you can keep your hands off me while I'm dressed as sharply as this."

				"It's hard for me to keep my hands off you while we're speeding down the road and fleeing for our lives," Robin said, raising an eyebrow at the Doctor's attire. "But as long as you don't pick up a lasso I think I can manage. For a while, at least." Then she walked toward him, placing her index finger right above the open top button of his shirt.<br><br>"I'd love to spend a night on the town," she said, the same twinkle in her eyes. "But I need to know what we'll be doing. I may need some time to get ready. Where are you taking me, you old lecher?" Then she winked at him, a small smile twitching at the corners of her lips before backing away a step. "I hope it's somewhere we can dance."

				"A lasso! That's whats missing from my coat of infinite wonders!" The Doctor cried, before slapping his forehead. "A sonic screwdriver, a quantum drill, a psychic spanner and yet I forget a lasso. I'm getting forgetful in my old age," the Doctor sighed before grinning at her and taking a step back to flick one of the switches on the control panel.<br><br>"We are off to the year four billion, nine hundred and ninety nine million, nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine. Its new years eve on a planet known as New Earth which was colonised over three hundred years before the destruction of old Earth. Don't ask, long story, all you need to know is that everything was all right in the end," the Doctor said as he rushed past her to get to the other side of the controls.<br><br>"We madam, are going to a new years eve ball in New New York to celebrate the turn of the year five billion," the Doctor said before pulling out his collar and smirking. "And its a costume party. Nineteen thirties dress only. I trust you don't object?"

				"Wasn't going to ask," Robin said, laughing and gesturing to herself. "Time Lord now, remember?" But her face lit up as he told her their destination. She grinned widely, running to him and kissing his scruffy cheek. "Of course I don't object! This is exciting!" Then her expression grew a little thoughtful before turning completely mischievous.<br><br>"You know what..." she said, twirling a finger innocently in her hair. "Why don't you go ahead out? I'll need a little time to get dressed and made up for this most wonderful event. I'll come find you once I'm done." She tossed the Doctor a wink before scampering off to the wardrobe. When she arrived, she looked up at the ceiling of the TARDIS with a soft smile.<br><br>"Come on old girl," she said. "Show me something amazing."

				"Oh great not only does she know what I'm thinking, but I've lost the element of surprise," the Doctor huffed with a roll of his eyes, but he smiled when she kissed him on the cheek. <br><br>"I can't stay mad at you. Fine, go doll yourself up, but don't be long!" The Doctor called as he walked to the doors of the TARDIS. "If you take too long you'll miss the performance by robotic Bing Crosby and holographic Glen Miller. They make quite a team, gigantic flirts though."<br><br>Before stepping out of the TARDIS he turned back to watch Robin skip off to get ready and smiled fondly after her. Once she had walked off the deck of the TARDIS he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper, the letter from Romana, and gazed over it once more before chuckling to himself and pocketing it again.<br><br>"I miss you too Romana," the Doctor said, before patting his pocket. "And your right. She's no Harbinger"<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The ball room was known to the residents of New New York as the&nbsp; Golden Bull and was considered by many to be one of the most extraordinary places on New Earth, for it was a skyscraper, made from solid gold. A brilliant building, grand enough to house the gods of Olympus themselves, which in some cases, actually happened.<br><br>According to sources a solid gold meteorite had fallen onto a farmers land, destroying his entire heard of blueberry cows, but granting him enough gold to change the economy of New Earth. Years after it had fallen, the farmer had become one of the most influential businessmen in the galaxy, but he had never forgotten the death of his poor cows. And so, he built the skyscraper from what remained of his golden reserves and had named it in honor of his deceased livestock.<br><br>The place was known for hosting some of the most important social events in history, so it was no surprise that as they approached the year five billion the place was teeming to the brim with different creatures from all over the universe.<br><br>"The gold comes from a planet called Voga, also known as Neo Phobos," the Doctor explained to some of the guests at the ball, which included a finely dressed elderly couple with robotic legs, designed for all manner of dances, a waiter named Bill that the Doctor and a blowfish alien dressed like John Wayne.<br><br>They were stood at the foot a a great red stair case, every step covered in red velvet, that led up to the golden rose encrusted balconies that looked over the shining dance floor, which almost resembled frozen honey as the lights from floating anti-grav crystal chandeliers bounced off its surface. <br><br>On the far side of the dance floor was a large stage which supported the a band of robots and aliens, all dressed like famous musicians from the 1930s, apart from a blue skinned alien, who was dressed in a red lace outfit that made her look rather like the queen of hearts. Apparently she had no idea that the fabled 'Lady Gaga' had not been alive during the 1930s.<br><br>"Voga is a planet made entirely out of Gold. For generations the planet kept its existence a secret, for they knew that if anyone were to find out about it then they would surely be invaded by forces that wished to strip it of its golden minerals," the Doctor said before running his hand along one of the golden banisters.<br><br>"That's amazing, Sir!" Bill exclaimed excitedly whilst trying his best not to spill the try of champagne he had balanced on his left hand. "But...if you don't mind me asking Sir, how do you know about it?"<br><br>"I'll only mind you asking Bill if you keep calling me Sir. It's the Doctor. I'm not royalty...at least not here," the Doctor said with a smile before gazing up at the gold ceiling and dangling lights. "Lets just say I'm good at finding secret things."

				It was as though the TARDIS had known this day was coming. <em>She probably did,</em> Robin reminded herself as she looked down at the red dress. The material was beautiful and soft, and when Robin had held it in front of herself it looked as though it had been tailored to her exact measurements. A huge grin spread over her face as she shed her clothes, depositing them all in a pile next to her.<br><br>Slowly, she slid the dress over her head and zipped up the back. It had a built-in support for her chest, which was a very good thing; wearing a bra in this dress would completely throw everything off. For a moment Robin stared at herself in the mirror. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined herself wearing something so exquisite.<br><br>The dress was long and a vibrant shade of red. The material pooled on the floor at her feet, and a long slit up to her left thigh drew much attention to her long legs. There was a shiny beaded accent at the waist and around the bustline, cinching in the draping fabric a bit to accentuate her curves. The straps of the dress hung just below her shoulders, creating a wide V shape that focused the attention on the just-concealed cleavage. <em>Not exactly 1930s,</em> Robin mused with a laugh, <em>But I doubt anyone here is.</em><br><br>Turning, she took a look at the back of the dress. Her entire back was bare, the pale skin gleaming in the low light. The dress followed its deep V down to the very small of her back, revealing even the delicate dimples just above her bottom. She gathered up her silky black hair with a smile before sliding into the silver heels she'd found tucked under the dress. They were strappy and impossibly high... Just the way she wanted.<br><br>Hurrying, she scurried to the bathroom, where she just happened to find a large selection of pins and makeup. Gathering her hair again, she pinned it up in strategic curls, letting a few here and there hang long and low around her chest. Then she applied a thin layer of shimmery eyeshadow, which played up the violet color in her eyes. As a final touch she painted her lips the same color as her dress, before giving herself a final smile and hurrying out of the TARDIS.<br><br>For a moment she was shocked into stillness. The entire place was glittering, golden and beautiful. Everyone inside was radiant, of all different races and species, all gathered for the celebration of the new year. Robin couldn't keep the smile off her face as she walked to find the Doctor. After a few moments' wandering, she finally spotted his back. A mischievous gleam appeared in her eyes and her smile grew a bit more seductive as she walked over to him. When she drew close, she leaned up into his ear and whispered, her breath again sliding along the curve of his neck.<br><br>"Would you like to dance?"

				Everything that had been calm, composed and charming about the Doctor was blown into a thousand pieces as Robin's breath stroked at the Doctor's neck. A shiver coursed through his body and knocked the cheerful smile off his face as the equivalent of an electric shock struck every nerve in his body. His breath was forced from his lungs as it caught in his throat, but it only got worse when he turned to face Robin.<br><br>"Sir, I mean Doctor! I mean, Sir! Doctor Sir! Are you okay?" Bill the waiter asked as he watched the ancient Time Lord took off his hat and pressed it to his chest with one hand whilst he stared at Robin with shock, his caramel eyes wide and unblinking as he gazed upon her. <br><br>"Bill the waiter. Does the band do requests?" the Doctor asked, not tearing his eyes away from Robin's as he addressed the gawking waiter, who appeared to be having just as much trouble keeping his eyes off Robin as the Doctor did.<br><br>"Uh, I don't think so Doctor," the waiter said nervously before jumping as the Doctor shoved the psychic paper into his face.<br><br>"Well they do now, tell them that Frank Sinatra is here and he wants them to sing something smooth that I can dance to with a beautiful girl," the Doctor said a smile finally creeping over his lips as he took Robin's hand and kissed it.<br><br>"Sir... this says you died in 1998."<br><br>"I took a very long break from my career. Make it happen. Cheryl, Tony, John Wayne, it was lovely meeting with you," the Doctor said back to them, but still didn't bother to even turn his head to face them as he took Robin's wrist and pulled her away to the center of the dance floor.

				Robin saw the Doctor's reaction to her appearance. His eyes darkened to the color of rich honey; the vein in his neck pulsed a little more rapidly; his mouth was almost slack. Normally Robin would have laughed but this time all that remained on her face was the same sultry little smile... Hardly more than a slight upturn at the corners, it lent a deeper warmth to her eyes than had been there before.<br><br>As he kissed her hand, a slight shiver traveled languorously up Robin's spine. She waved at his little group of friends when he led her toward the dance floor. Her smile widened a little as she looked up into his eyes before assuming the position to dance. She pressed her chest into him and brought her cheek to rest against his, and when she spoke her voice was low.<br><br>"My, my, Doctor," she said, a little amusement coloring the words. "All it takes is a red dress to get you all hot and bothered."

				"Hot and bothered? Madam I am not hot and bothered," the Doctor whispered coyly as he took his hand in hers and brought her into him. "I am as calm and composed as I have ever-" his words caught as her chest pressed to his and her leg stroked against him. He swallowed and braced himself before continuing. "-been."<br><br>"Okay, fine. The tight red dress looks good on you. It certainly, uh...clings to you," the Doctor spoke as his free hand took its place on her hip, feeling the warmth of her body radiate from under the thin material. Another shiver ran through him as he tried his best to remain as composed as he could be.<br><br>"You certainly know how to wear it," he whispered as his hand drew a little further around her hip, his finger tips brushing along the exposed skin of her back. "I remember another woman who wore a dress with as low a cut as this...she tried to kill me. You're not about to pull a gun on me are you Robin?"

				Robin was pleased to see the reaction she brought about in the Doctor. It was nice to know that she could have any sort of effect on him, but it was interesting that now he seemed to almost encourage her rather than push her away. When she'd kissed him as a human, his immediate response was to stiffen and basically reprimand her... But now that she was a Time Lord, it seemed it was a bit more acceptable.<br><br>"I'm glad you like it," she replied, her voice matching his low pitch. For a moment she was silent as his fingers ran along her lower back, the cool brush of skin upon skin causing goosebumps to raise along her arms. "I believe the TARDIS knew exactly what I should wear to this... occasion." She smiled again, letting him feel her lips curve up against his cheek.<br><br>"And Doctor," she whispered directly into his ear, "I believe you've looked me over enough to know that any weapon I would be trying to conceal would be quite... visible. It is, as you've said, quite fitted to my figure." At that, she lowered her head a little so that her breath would again ghost along his neck. Her voice was slightly louder when she continued.<br><br>"Besides, I can think of many other ways to slay you, Doctor."

				The Doctors feet slipped on the ground as she whispered the words into his ear. Everything that had been calm and composed crumbled along with the Doctor's balance as he let go of Robin and sauntered back from her, his hat falling to the ground as he struggled to keep on his feet. With some effort and a lot of luck, the Doctor retained his balance and ceased his hat from the floor. As he straightened, he plucked two glasses of champagne smoothly from a passing waiter, before downing the bubbling liquid in one shot and throwing the empty glass over his shoulder.<br><br>"Go on, laugh," the Doctor said as he stepped back in towards Robin and handed her the remaining glass of champagne whilst his hand curled around hers once more. "It's pretty ridiculous. I'm over a thousand years old and yet I can't remain composed when you look like....you know...how you are...now."

				It was all Robin could do not to laugh as the Doctor completely lost his composure. As he wobbled back from her, she placed her hands on her hips to watch him. He looked completely discombobulated, stumbling around and losing his hat. But somehow she kept herself looking normal, the same slight smile playing at her lips. She accepted the champagne graciously, taking a sip as they resumed their dancing positions.<br><br>"Oh?" she asked, taking another sip and looking directly into his caramel eyes.

				"Do you really need me to say it?" The Doctor asked, tilting his head to one side as he looked at her, before a sly smile slowly crossed over his lips as he looked over her once more, slowly, from head to toe, just before he stepped in closer and brought his face next to her ear and whispered. "Ebony hair, violet eyes, ivory skin, a figure that molds to the shape of that scarlet dress your wrapped in. You were beautiful before Robin, but you've always had something about you that catches peoples eyes, that aura that just screams trouble. Its something that you kept even after you regenerated."<br><br>"Only this time its awakened this beast," the Doctor chuckled before his free hand reached to the side of her hip and stroked down it, stroking against her bare leg gently before rising back up and curling around her waist to creep up her bare back. "That beast that spells trouble for me...but you know, that's why we're invincible, that's why we were destined to meet and that's why we're here, at the start of a new era, dancing under golden light."<br><br>"That's what I see when I look at you. Trouble. And I don't shy away, because that's what I like best. That's why we ride in the TARDIS and fly through dimensions and storms and the very vortex of time itself, because we long for it," the Doctor spoke before pulling his head back to look into her eyes. <br><br>"And you know...as I've already said. You've got a nice bum. I can't really ask more of a companion than that," he chuckled mischievously, his grin brightening as he looked into her eyes.<br><br>The music had now changed. In the background they could hear the sound of a bell tolling and the excited chatter of the guests, but they did not need to turn to know what was coming, for they new it all too well, they could feel it in their minds, in their skin and blood. New Year was approaching.

				This time it was Robin's turn to nearly lose control. The Doctor had turned her own trick against her, breathing the words into her ear intimately. She could feel the stubble on his cheeks gently brushing against her, a little scratchy but not unpleasant in the slightest. The Doctor smelled of mint and honey and that something extra... Perhaps it was time itself.<br><br>Another shiver traveled over her as his hand first brushed along her exposed leg and then trailed back up her hip and to the bare skin of her back. His hand was smooth and cool, a nice contrast to the heat she could feel coloring her skin. But that same smile was touching her lips, the smile that spoke to the truth of what the Doctor was saying... Trouble. <br><br>He broke his own spell, though, as he joked about her bum and looked into her eyes. She laughed, only a slight tremor audible in the light sound. Then she heard the music change and she pulled herself closer to the Doctor.<br><br>"Are there going to be..." she breathed on his neck, her fingers tugging away from his shoulder and tracing a light trail to the exposed skin at his throat, before reaching up to tuck a piece of hair behind his ear, "Fireworks?"

				The Doctor didn't answer at first, instead he kept looking into her eyes, smiling softly before he nodded and took her hand, turning her to the stairs and pulling her across.<br><br>"But, if we're going to see them, we can't just wait here on the bottom floor, we have to go right to the top," he spoke as they climbed the stairs, until eventually they came across two large golden doors, that opened for them as they approached.<br><br>They stepped inside, the Doctor chuckling the entire time, before he pulled out his screwdriver and pointed it at the elevator controls. The information panel gradually changed numbers as it climbed, but when the Doctor pointed the tool at the panel the number began to rapidly climb as the elevator zoomed through the floors at high speed.<br><br>"I really, must not yell geronimo!" The Doctor yelled as they sped through the floors, until they reached floor one thousand and fourteen where the doors opened to reveal a large green garden, bathed in shadows and moon light, that stood below a vast starry sky and looked upon a huge futuristic city.<br><br>"Here we are. With one minute to spare before the count down," the Doctor said as he stepped out. Twirling with every step as his arms gestured to his sides at the green grass, the rows of exotic flowers, the finely crafted stone statues and small palm trees with orange leaves. "A good spot don't you think?" The Doctor asked. "Of course, if security catches us up here they'll boot us out. This is the owners ex-wife's sacred garden. She spent days, weeks and months, paying people to tend to it for her and make it absolutely perfect."

When they got into the lift, Robin pressed herself close to the Doctor, feeling his proximity even more in the confines of the golden elevator. They started to ascend, and Robin let out a little yelp of excitement as the other Time Lord pointed the sonic at the controls and made them speed up to a reckless pace.<br><br>But as they doors opened at the top, Robin fell silent, looking out at the amazing scene in front of her. A perfectly sculpted garden waited for them, the colors all white or black in the light of the moon, the water in the little ponds reflecting the winking stars. She took a step out, watching the Doctor as he walked to show her the beautiful landscapes of the garden.<br><br>Then, she ran, past the Doctor and to the edge of the roof, stopping to look out into the city below. It was a spectacular sight, and it took Robin's breath away. Whirling, she grinned widely at the Doctor, her chest heaving with excitement. <br><br>"This is beautiful," she said breathlessly, extending a hand in offering. "Absolutely beautiful."

				"It is, New York never ceases to be beautiful on New Years Eve," the Doctor said as he walked, taking off his hat and throwing it onto the head of one of the statues. He walked over to Robin's side and leaned back on the balcony whilst his hand sought out hers and wrapped around it. "The start of the year five billion. A momentous year for the universe as the Earth is laid to rest. Even though it will depart as the sun burns the uninhabited rock, the will of the races that lived there will still go on. Civilizations from across the galaxy will revel in its recorded history, colonies of humans will explore the strange cultures that existed on it and alien races will tell stories of great men and women who have left such a mark on the world that time cannot possibly erase them." <br><br>"And it doesn't just stop at individuals," the Doctor said with his pearly mischievous smile as he looked up into the vast starry sky. "No one forgets the imprint that Earths countries have left. The Olympics still continues, the red poppy becomes a universal symbol to remember soldiers lost in war time, the day of the dead festival is celebrated on nineteen different worlds and holiday celebrations from Christmas to Halloween are accepted into hundreds of different cultures."<br><br>"Five Billion years and we are still growing and learning from both the past and the future. Things change and we roll with it, making the best of bad situations, breaking through obstacles and discovering incredible secrets," the Doctor said before chuckling warmly and dropping his head to look towards Robin. "Do you still want to see it all Robin? You've got a frustratingly long life ahead of you. That's a lot of time to explore"

				Robin smiled as she listened to the Doctor speak, her smile growing the whole time. He was painting a picture for her, a picture that spanned millennia and included a history of both before her time and after it. It was beautiful and infinite, stretching across the universe... And Robin could see it. <br><br>She could see the turn of the galaxies, the rotation of time itself, the impact that even a little species like humans could have on creation. It was completely beautiful. Tears sprang to her eyes as she contemplated all the things she could see with these new eyes, and she squeezed the Doctor's hand with emotion. <br><br>"I can't believe you would even have to ask that question," she said, her voice soft and full of tears. "Of course, Doctor. Always."

				The Doctor's toothy grin shone in the darkness of the night. He squeezed Robin's hand and looked up once more at the sky. His golden eyes twinkled with pure joy, searching the stars as if planning where they their next destination would be. The whole of time and space was before them and for the first time the Doctor really appreciated just how spoiled for choice they really were.<br><br>He let out a laugh of surprise as a rainbow of special effect lasers suddenly cut through the sky and danced, writing glowing messages in hundreds of different languages on the pitch black canvas. Music was soaring through the night sky, growing louder and louder as bells tolled to warn of the approach of the new year.<br><br>"Its nice to see lasers for once and not have to duck and cover," the Doctor said as he looked up at them, before suddenly a frown began to creep at the corners of his mouth. "Robin...there's something I have to tell you."<br><br>

				Robin's gaze followed the Doctor's out into the sky. It all waited for them... Every planet, every moment, every star or asteroid or anything they chose along the way was theirs for the taking. Well, not taking exactly. More like... looking. Robin grinned, wishing they could stay in that moment forever, holding hands and contemplating the possibilities of their future.<br><br>Her grin widened further as the lasers shot into the sky, writing beautiful things in the black sky and soaring through the music that had started playing. Everything, in Robin's opinion, was perfect... And then, of course, the Doctor pulled a face.<br><br>"What?" she teased, reaching a hand up to push her fingers at the downturned corner of his mouth. "No midnight kiss?" Her own smile faded, though, and she dropped the hand. "What is it, Doctor?"

				"I'm not saying no to that, give it forty more seconds when the fireworks go off," the Doctor spoke with a sheepish grin, but the smile was fleeting and soon fell from his face. He was quiet for a moment and looked down at the city before them with a heaviness that Robin had seen so many times, however, this time there seemed to be something new in the pain, a sadness that seemed as dark and cold as the night sky.<br><br>"It's about something that happened while you were sleeping," the Doctor spoke softly. "Something that happened when I went to check on the resistance."<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The TARDIS fading in to existence as it dematerialized on Bannerman Road, its cosmic melody resounding through he street. The door opened and with a hop, a skip and a jump, the Doctor left the TARDIS, grinning like a little kid as he ran down the road.<br><br>"Now lets see, where are you... where are you..." the Doctor whispered to himself as he counted down the doors before skidding to a halt. "There you are! Number thirteen!" The Doctor cheered as he looked up at the grand house before him; a great red brick building with clean white windows and a blue tiled roof. <br><br>"Fancy place. Bet you could play a cracking game of Hide and Seek in it," the Doctor mused before rapping the knuckles of both hands against the door and rapidly pressing the button for the door bell. "Come on! Let me in! Let me in! Let me in! Its time to reminisce and share stories and tell me how your sons getting on at University!"<br><br>The door opened and the Doctor beamed down at the girl who stood before him with a metal dog trailing at her side.<br><br>"Hello Sky! I see you got home okay. I hope the other Doctors weren't too annoying when they dropped you back in the Master's TARDIS," the Doctor said with a grin before crouching down and patting K-9's metal head. "And how are you K-9 my old chum? You being good for your owners?"<br><br><em>"Affirmative!"</em> The metal dog chirped.<br><br>"That a boy!" The Doctor cheered before rubbing his hands eagerly and grinning at Sky. "So where are they?"<br><br>Sky looked down at the Doctor with a look of confusion on her face. She had changed since being dropped back, her dirty blond hair tied back in a knot and her ragged clothes had been replaced with a clean bright T-shirt and jeans. Reluctantly, she asked, "Where are who Doctor?"<br><br>"Oh come on! The Gang!" The Doctor cheered as he stood up and leaned in to look over her shoulder. "Luke! Rani! Clyde! Maria! Sarah! The whole gang! I've been dying to hear about what trouble you got up to before all of this took place."<br><br>"Doctor, not that I'm not pleased to see you, it's really nice of you to drop by after everything. I'm sure Luke and the others would enjoy seeing you too but... the don't come here," Sky spoke softly, watching the Doctor's face carefully. "They haven't been here a lot since it happened."<br><br>"What happened?" The Doctor asked, only half listening, his grin still wide and excited as he looked left and right down the corridor. "Can't we talk about this inside? I'd love a cup of tea."<br><br>"I can make you one," Sky said with a nod, "But Doctor... I was afraid of being the one to tell you, since it seemed that you had forgotten when we met at Trafalgar square, but... there is something you should know."<br><br>The Doctor stepped back and looked down at Sky. The grin slowly leaving his face. He looked up at the building with confused, scared eyes and stepped back with alarm. Horror flood his face as the most awful, most impossible thing to happen to him in the last twenty four hours came screaming into his head.<br><br>"No..." He whispered. "No...no... that's not possible."<br><br>"Doctor," Sky said softly, her voice strained as tear bean to fill her pretty dark eyes. "Mum's dead, she died last year."<br><br>"No," the Doctor repeated stepping back and pointing his finger forcefully at Sky, his body shaking with dread. "No," he said again, more defiantly this time. "Sarah Jane Smith, dead? That's not possible."<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"But it was," the Doctor spoke, his voice low and cold as he looked over the city. "She had been battling cancer for months. It came out of nowhere. Most of her family didn't even know she was ill. By the time they found out it was too late, she couldn't be saved. Which was what was hardest for them. Luke and Sky are geniuses and their knowledge couldn't help at all."<br><br>"And I missed it Robin," the Doctor spoke, his voice breaking as he lowered his head to the rail and buried his head in his hands, running his fingers through his blond hair. "I missed it all. I could have taken her away. Brought her to this century and have them obliterate the evil thing, but I didn't, because my brain was broken and I couldn't remember her."

				Robin tried to smile back at the Doctor's joke, but the expression left her face when it left the Doctor's. There it was again, that look she hated so much... The one she wished never to see him wear again. Even after they'd lost so much lately it was seeming to her like that look was fading from him... Yet here it was again, fresh and sad and despairing. <br><br>Her frown deepened as she listened to his tale. She'd only known Sky for a short while, but she'd liked her a lot. The girl was brave and kind, willing to do what needed to be done to protect those she loved. And Robin hadn't even got the chance to meet Sarah Jane, but the love was apparent in the Doctor's voice when he spoke of her, even in sadness. Robin could feel the tears welling up in her eyes as she realized what he was going to say.<br><br>When the despair and guilt made the Doctor's voice break, it was almost too much for Robin. She clasped her hands over her mouth, the tears threatening to spill over, the joy of the evening evaporating quickly as he&nbsp; told the horrible tale. It was plain to see that he thought it was his fault... And Robin couldn't have that. She reached out and tugged at his hands, pulling him until he stood so that she could place her hands on either side of his face and look into his ageless, sad eyes.<br><br>"Doctor," she said softly, her voice gentle. "I am so sorry. I wish... Well, anyway. You have to know that it is not your fault. It isn't your fault that she got sick, and it isn't your fault that your brain was all messed up and you couldn't remember her. You can't try to take the blame every time one of your friends is lost. It'll crush you, Doctor. But it's what humans do... They get sick and they die. It sounds harsh but you know it's the truth, and you can't beat yourself up so much over it or you'll never be happy again. I know she was special to you, Doctor, but cancer takes lives all the time. My, well, my grandmother died of cancer. If we could go back and fix her I'd love to, but I know we can't. And you have to know that <em>you</em> can't, either. You have to do the only thing you can do for her, and that's remember her and remember all the wonderful times the two of you had together. That's what she'd want, I'm sure of it."<br><br>Robin wasn't certain she'd done any good; she wasn't as good of a speaker as the Doctor. But she hoped she'd done something for him, and after she finished talking, she released his face and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

				"She was Sarah Jane Smith Robin," the Doctor spoke, resting his hands on either side of the railing, his head still lowered whilst his eye gazed dismally at the ground. "She was one of my oldest friends. She had been with me ever since my third face. She was one of the most courageous, ingenious and down right remarkable people I had ever met. And she honored me with a friendship I sometimes felt like I didn't deserve."<br><br>"I knew this day would come, but not like this. I imagined something far in the future. I thought of her surrounded by grandchildren and friends. And there would be me, popping in to say a final farewell and tell her just how incredible she was," the Doctor whispered. The sound of something light and wet pattered on the ground beneath the Doctor's feet. Tears were running down his face, but he wiped them away before she could see them. "And I didn't have that with her Robin. Just like the Brigadier, I passed her by."<br><br>The Doctor sighed heavily before straightening up and running his hands down his face before taking in a deep breath. He looked about the sky and managed to crack a smile as he looked up at the lasers, that were now drawing a gigantic target on the sky, readying it for the fire works.<br><br>"Not long now," the Doctor said quietly before swallowing hard. <br><br>"You're right," he croaked, "I know you're right, but yet I can't accept it. Things like this always feel like they're my fault, even though I know the only things that are at fault are fat and time itself. The luck of the draw made it so that I stand here with one less person in my life, with one more scar on my hearts," the Doctor said softly before turning to Robin and smiling softly. "Which is why I want you to call your brother Robin. I know you only saw him a moment ago, but you know as well as I do that humans lives will pass us by no matter how much we try to tell fate and time to go jump off a cliff."

				Robin could see and hear the Doctor's tears falling to the ground, no matter how hard he tried to hide them from her. His sadness made her hearts ache, and she wished there was something - anything - she could do. But try as she might, she was still only a Time Lord, and not capable of raising the dead. And that would be the only thing that could possibly lift this horrible look off the Doctor's face.<br><br>When he turned to Robin and spoke to her, she could see a couple of tears glistening on his cheeks. Smiling gently, she took his hands in hers and looked up at him. Slowly, she kissed his cheeks, tasting the saltiness of his tears. When she'd finished, she placed one hand on his stubbly face, wiping just under his right eye to catch the last glistening drop of sadness and whisk it away.<br><br>"Right you are," she whispered, stepping a little closer to him. "As soon as we get back to the TARDIS, I'll call him. But Doctor... I really want you to know how sorry I am. And how much I wish I could... help. Do something to make you happy." Her smile turned a little sad. "But I know I can't. I can never take her place. All I can do is tell you over and over how terribly sorry I am for your loss."

				The Doctor smiled and lifted his hand to cover hers as she wiped away the tear. His caramel eyes met with her deep purple eyes and for a moment his free hand reached up and stroked down her bare arm tenderly. The bells in the distance were getting louder and louder by the moment, but yet that didn't seem to matter as they looked at each other. <br><br>"I don't want you to take her place," the Doctor said warmly as he lowered her hand from his face and brought it to his lips. "You're Robin Baker or whatever crazy title you want to call yourself. Your you and that's all you need to be." He pressed his lips tenderly to her fingers before suddenly snickering and shaking his head, a grin managing to grow once more on his lips.<br><br>"Boy do I know how to show a girl a good time. I take her to a nice place and end up blubbering. I don't remember being so uncool," the Doctor spoke before hesitating and rolling his eyes. "Actually, now that I think about it, I remember being uncool quite a lot."

				Robin could hear the chiming of the bells, but it seemed as though the sound came from worlds away. All she cared about was the moment she and the Doctor were sharing, their bodies close and his emotions for once all too apparent. It was the most beautiful and sad thing she'd ever seen, like something out of an old painting. <br><br>Yet even through his sadness he managed to give her the chills as he kissed her long fingers. She knew she shouldn't even be thinking about that, not with the Doctor so pained before her, but it wasn't her fault he was touching her so gently. As he smiled she managed one too, a single tear leaking from her eye and rolling slowly down her cheek.<br><br>"Doctor, I'm glad you trust me enough to do... this in front of me," she said, gesturing to him with her free hand. "And you aren't uncool. No matter how goofy or completely infuriating you are at times, you're still the 'coolest' man in the universe."

				"You're going to regret stroking my ego like that," the Doctor chuckled. "It goes right to my head and I start thinking I can get away with anything. Just ask my flat mate Craig. His girlfriend said I was clever so I blew up the top floor of his house," the Doctor said before turning his head as the sky suddenly lit up with bright glittering light.<br><br>The fireworks had started. Great streaks of flaming golden glitter exploded in the sky above them, following by huge swirling balls of sparks that resembled the planets themselves, danced around them before exploding with a loud bang. In mere seconds the sky was full of different colors as fireworks screeched and popped in the vast blast, showering the world below with beautiful twinkling lights. The music somehow managed to remain heard over the explosions, a strange take on old lang syne played with instruments that Robin would have never heard before.<br><br>"Happy New Year Robin," the Doctor said with a smile as he turned to look back at her. "Lets make it a good one," he said happily and with that, leaned in and pecked Robin softly on the lips before drawing back and grinning broadly at the girl.

				Robin marveled at the beauty of the New Year's celebration. The fireworks were more advanced than anything she'd ever seen, creating vivid, swirling patterns in the black expanse of the night sky. It was beautiful and complex, colorful and bright. The music swirled around them warmly, strange instruments piecing together a new version of Auld Lang Syne.<br><br>She laughed, however, as the Doctor pressed a very chaste kiss to her lips. Though she would never admit it, even that smallest show of affection caused her to shiver slightly. Raising a finger, she wagged it at him with a small shake of her head.<br><br>"Don't think you're getting away with that," she murmured before standing on tiptoe and pressing her lips to his once again. It was still an innocent kiss, but it was also a lingering one, and when Robin pulled away she sucked lightly on his bottom lip. With a dangerous twinkle in her eye she leaned once again into his ear, her whisper dark and sultry.<br><br>"Happy New Year," she said, a devilish grin playing at her throat. "And I don't think I would ever regret stroking <em>anything</em> of yours, Doctor."

				The Doctor's lips had been parted slightly from the kiss. A blank look had crossed over his roughly shaven face as he blinked dumbly at the cheeky girl before him. Very slowly, the grin returned to his face and the Doctor chuckled, shaking his head at Robin before wrapping his arm around her waist and turning her in the direction of the elevator.<br><br>"Your trouble Robin. You really are. I'm going to have to start sleeping with one eye open when I go to bed from now on," the Doctor said mischievously, running a finger up her back teasingly as they walked through the garden, back to the elevator doors. "Otherwise I'll wake up and find myself handcuffed to something or perhaps find that some minx has stolen all my good jumpers while I was asleep."<br><br>A final volley of great golden rockets shot into the air and exploded as they walked away, showering the world in glistening golden rain. The falling sparks had no heat as they washed over the two of them and as they touched their bodies they seemed to light up their skin, almost as if to infect them with pure golden light.

				Robin laughed as the Doctor placed his arm around her waist. It was nice to see him smiling again; even if it was more for her benefit than out of true happiness, it was better than the look he'd had before. As they walked back toward the lift, she leaned into him comfortably, wishing they could stay like this forever. Another shiver traveled up her back along with the Doctor's finger.<br><br>"I doubt I'll ever have to really steal anything of yours," Robin said as they got into the elevator. "Apparently all it takes is a few flirty words or a nice dress and you're putty in my hands... Though you may have been right about the handcuffing." Looking up at him, she winked, wrapping her own arm around his waist. "Thank you for this. It was absolutely breathtaking."

				"Oh Robin, if handcuffing worked on me then Harry Houdini would think those four and a half weeks he spent teaching me were a waste of time," the Doctor chuckled as he led her into the elevator before winking at her. "You're welcome Robin. You look stunning by the way. Although I will have to ban that dress from our future adventures. You're far too dangerous when you're wearing that" the Doctor said whilst running a finger down the side of the scandalous red dress and grinning at her.<br><br>The doors of the elevator were half way to closing before the Doctor let out a cry of frustration and slapped his forehead, "Stupid me! I forgot my hat!" He said before leaping through the doors as they were still shutting and calling after Robin. "I'll meet you back at the TARDIS in five!" Just before the doors closed behind him with a clunk.<br><br>He walked over to the statue that he had thrown his hat onto and picked it off it with a smirk. <br><br>"She's a lot of trouble that one. If her mother could see her now there's no doubt in my mind that she would be telling me to stay away from her," the Doctor chuckled before walking towards the balcony and spinning the fedora hat on the end of his finger.<br><br>"Although...I'm rather looking forward to seeing what trouble she can get me into. It sounds like a lot of fun. My kind of fun," he said before slowly placing the hat on his head and adjusting it before taking one last look at the starry night sky, filled with sparks and fire. He smiled softly and patted the pocket that he kept the letter from Romana in whilst admiring the beauty of the night and the sights and sounds of a wonderful celebration that celebrated the dawn of a bold new age.<br><br>And then, after taking in the whole image of the grand New Years Eve night, the Doctor blinked.<br><br>Something appeared before the Doctor's eyes, snarling at him with a horrid ugly face of razor teeth. Its hands were clawed and raised back in in preparation to attack, its wings outstretched by its sides as it prepared to strike at him and send him hurling into oblivion. Which it would have done, had the creature not been currently trapped in the form of a lifeless stone statue whilst the Doctor gazed upon it.<br><br>"What, did you think I wouldn't notice?" the Doctor asked coldly as he glared down the stone angel that perched on the balcony in front of him. "The ex-wife didn't like statues of anything bigger than a garden gnome. She didn't like feeling small in the place that she sought isolation. Of course I knew it was one of you."<br><br>"In a way, I'm glad that you're here, because now I can tell you a message that you can pass on to your friends," the Doctor said before leaning in and grinning devilishly at the stone creature. "You and your kind are never <em>ever</em> to come within a mile of Robin. You may have taken Amy and Rory from me, but that's all you get. You're never going to get that lucky ever again."<br><br>"So pass on the message and tell your buddies that the Doctor is watched and waiting for the Weeping Angels. And he is fully prepared to wipe them from existence, the Doctor said before hesitating and chuckling before saying, "You know what. I'll tell them myself," before kicking the weeping angel, sending him flying off the roof of the skyscraper, hurtling down towards the ground, all whilst the Doctor stared after it, keeping his eyes on its descent.

				"I'll have to find better handcuffs, then," Robin said, trying to ignore the goosebumps that raced along her arms at his touch. "And thanks... But if you think you can 'ban' me from wearing what I like, you've -" She was cut off, though, as the Doctor realized he forgot his hat. Sighing as he bounded back through the doors of the closing lift, she shook her head. Something didn't seem right about it... Like he'd done it on purpose.<br><br>Robin narrowed her eyes, hoping he'd explain it to her later. Since the elevator hadn't been sped up by the sonic this time, it took a lot longer to reach the bottom, and by the time the doors opened up she had her arms crossed over her chest and was tapping her toe impatiently. Finally she walked out, back into the myriad sounds and sights inside the grand ballroom.<br><br>A holographic band was playing Sing, Sing, Sing, one of Robin's favorite jazz tunes. A smile turned up the corners of her lips as she listened. Suddenly, she found that she wasn't alone. A man had approached her and was giving her a very pointed stare. Robin looked at him with that same mysterious smile on her face, brushing past him nonchalantly.<br><br>"Can I not even ask for this dance?" he called after her, trying to catch up. Robin paused, looking him over. He was handsome, she supposed, with dark curly hair and eyes of the same color. "When I saw you come out of the lift I knew immediately that you were the most beautiful woman here." Robin laughed lightly, grinning at him.<br><br>"Sorry mate," she said, patting him on the arm. "I've got someone coming to meet me, and then we're off. I hope you have a wonderful New Year." She then walked back to the TARDIS, leaning on the blue door and waiting for the Doctor. And she knew she always would. Whatever may happen to them, eventually she would always find a way back to wait on her Doctor.

				The Doctor watched the stone monster fall from the skyscraper, golden eyes piercing and hard as they stared down the creature as it tumbled towards the ground. It hit the stone floor with the force of a wrecking ball, burying it bottom first into the hard concrete, it ugly face still glaring up at the Doctor, as if silently cursing him.<br><br>The Doctor didn't say anything else as he scowled down at the creature. He just walked away from the edge and entered the elevator. It didn't matter that it had survived, all that mattered was that it knew that the Doctor was serious and that he would never <em>ever</em> let them get their hands on Robin Baker.<br><br>"Happy New Year," he muttered as the Doctors closed behind him. Just managing to catch a glimpse of a granite colored shadow moving through the air before the doors slid shut.<br><br><div align="center">---</div><br>The Doctor returned to the TARDIS in no less than five minutes, a bottle of champagne tucked under one arm, a blue rose nestled between his fingers and a saxophone tucked under the other arm. He was laughing to himself as he walked towards her, a twinkle in his caramel eyes and a spring in his step. He stopped a metre or two away from Robin and danced towards her, humming Glen Miller's <em>In the Mood</em> the entire time.<br><br>When he stopped in front of Robin he handed her the bottle of champagne and offered the blue rose to her before reaching behind her and unlocking the door of the TARDIS. Once it had swung open he beamed at her before telling her; "We have to go. One member of the band was being rude to Bill the waiter, so I sort of....stole his saxophone and pretended to hit on his mother."<br><br>The Doctor looked nervously over his shoulder and scratched his head sheepishly before gesturing for Robin to head inside. "I would get inside. He's coming after me with a very large plasma rifle. It could probably boil my brain in a second."

				Robin shook her head, grinning as she saw the Doctor heading toward her with an array of strange items. For some reason, she was relieved, as though there had been some sort f danger for him on the roof. That was absurd, though, because there he was, brandishing champagne and a flower, dashing as always. <br><br>She accepted the bottle and plucked the rose from his fingers, sticking her nose in it and taking a whiff. It smelled nothing like the roses she was familiar with but it was beautiful all the same, a rich scent full of notes of vanilla and other things she couldn't place. As he reached to open the door, she laughed and looked behind him to locate their newest threat. <br><br>"I guess we should call him Strax," she teased when she saw the man pointing a rather large gun at them. "Come on then Doctor, inside." Robin backed into the TARDIS, keeping her dark eyes on the other Time Lord and that little cheeky smile on her face. When she was in&nbsp; she placed the rose on the console and started hunting for champagne flutes. <br><br>"Lovely flower," she remarked. "Matches the TARDIS nicely."

				"You gotta love blue!" The Doctor cheered before darting across the floor of the TARDIS to the controls and rapidly slamming down lever after lever. He chuckled the entire time as he set the TARDIS on its next course, wildly spinning a row of cogs, pushing down a row of switches and pressing several glowing buttons, all in aid of changing their course.<br><br>"Okay!" The Doctor roared eagerly as he rubbed his hands and kicked off his shoes before jumping onto the control pad and kicking at the gear stick before he grinned broadly at Robin. "Once you've called your brother we're off to see the universe. Anywhere you want, your choice. You have the knowledge of the Time Lords running through your head, you should be spoiled for choice with ideas of where to go next."<br><br>"We could go to the land of dinosaurs, we could party down at a disco in the seventies, meet the first robot cowboy that ever existed or we could just fly straight into the orbit of a wandering cluster of star blazers and ride the impact, sending us hurtling through the Time Vortex to anywhere in time and space," the Doctor explained before lifting the red phone that lay on the controls with his foot and kicking it at Robin.<br><br>"Come on! Come on! We've got so much to see and so much time, but I don't like waiting," the Doctor said excitedly.

				Robin giggled at the Doctor's antics, crossing her arms over her chest and following his feet with her eyes. There was no way she would ever touch such sensitive controls with her feet, but the Doctor had been flying the TARDIS for quite a long time. But then he reminded her that she was about to call her brother and the smile faded a bit. It was a conversation she was both excited for and very, very scared of.<br><br>When he kicked the phone at her, she caught it, trying another smile. It was still a bit more sad than she liked, but she managed all the same. Looking down, she realized that his number probably changed when the Doctor gave them new identities... But the TARDIS could probably connect her anyway. She clicked in his number and was glad when she heard the ringing start.<br><br>"Hello?" her brother's voice said after a moment, a little confused at the strange number that was calling him.<br><br>"Hi, Allen, it's me," she said, her voice thick with emotion. She turned away from the Doctor so that he wouldn't see her eyes fill with tears. "How are you?" <br><br>"Robin!" he whispered, and she could hear him run into his room and shut the door. "I was so worried, I got a new number and didn't have a way to give it to you... How are you? Is everything okay?"<br><br>"I think the TARDIS phone has a slightly psychic connection," she said, a wide smile spreading over her lips. "Everything's fine. How long has it been for you? It's only been a couple of hours for me."<br><br>"Wow," he said in a hushed voice. "It's been around six months here. Actually, I have kind of a request for you and the Doctor."<br><br>"Shoot," Robin said, sitting against the console. <br><br>"Well... He moved us to Houston. Texas. We live next to Rice University now," he explained. "And there have been some strange disappearances from there lately. I've mentioned it to Torchwood but they say they don't think it's alien. But my gut is telling me it is... Would you and the Doctor come check it out?" Robin's jaw dropped and she looked back at the Doctor.<br><br>"He's got you working for Torchwood?" she asked incredulously, shaking her head. "Wow... Well, let me ask him about it and I'll let you know. I love you, Allen. Bye." Robin tossed the phone back to the Doctor.<br><br>"So... Fancy a trip to Texas?" she said. "Apparently there have been disappearances from Rice that Allen is worried about. And Torchwood won't investigate." She smiled, walking over to stand next to him. "I wouldn't mind going back to school for a bit anyway..."

				"Texas, how of Texan barbecue, black gold Texas tea, chili, long horns and their intimidating slogan 'Don't mess with Texas'," the Doctor said as he turned back to the controls and altered their journey a final time by tampering with the buttons, levers, cogs, joysticks and strange devices with no apparent function. "I don't see why not. If Torchwood is being lazy then it should be a doddle."<br><br>The TARDIS let out a loud hum and a series of bleeps when the Doctor was finished reprogramming their destination into the TARDIS. He beamed up at the TARDIS as its centre began to glow warmly and bounce as it went thundering through the Time Vortex to Texas, USA. He seemed to be enjoying the traveling so much that it took him a moment to register what Robin had also said.<br><br>"Wait...what?" He asked, confusion sweeping over his bristly face as he turned to the girl. "You want to go back to school?" He asked before scratching his head and asking. "Why?"<br><br>"I mean, don't get me wrong, school can be fun. You get to see your friends and play tig and stuck in the mud and kiss chase, but its also a place where you have to spend a large amount of time sat behind a desk reading stuff you're not interested in, like archaeology! Who on Earth would want to be one of them? I point and laugh at Archaeologists!" The Doctor exclaimed before staring blankly into the air as he realised that he had lost his train of thought. <br><br>"Sorry what were we talking about?" He asked before a small vibration shuiddered through the TARDIS as it completed its journey and dematerialised in Texas.

				Robin laughed as the Doctor babbled on and on. Part of her wondered if the talking was simply a defense mechanism to cover up his sadness... But she guessed that he was just always happy to be traveling in the TARDIS. But as he continued she raised an eyebrow at him, marveling at how very quickly he could derail his own thoughts and completely forget about what he'd been saying.<br><br>"We were talking about the fact that you think it's strange that I want to go back to school," Robin said, placing a hand on her hip. "But it's not as though I'm going forever, I'll be an 'exploratory' major and only take classes I want to take." She thought for a moment before grinning. "And you don't have to come along. If you'd rather just dump me off and go off on your own that's fine. Time Lord brain now, remember?" She walked toward him and bumped her hip on his.<br><br>"As long as you check in on me, that is. Don't want you <em>completely</em> forgetting about me after all. It'll be fun though! Getting a flatmate, attempting to seem human, trying to remember what it's like having a lot less space in here." A long finger tapped her temple as she smiled at the Doctor. "Think of it as a test! See if I can investigate on my own without blowing up the university!"

				"But, we have so much to see and so much to-" the Doctor began, but hesitated as the words caught in his throat. "I mean, there's whole galaxy's to explore and... there's a hole in a dimension that we could check out and.... Robin I really think that-" the Doctor paused again and scratched his bristly chin before eventually hanging his head.<br><br>"Alright, you're going to get your way anyway," the Doctor said with a grunt, leaning back on the controls and folding his arms over his chest stubbornly. "You go have fun at college. I'll drop by once a week...maybe twice if you're a good girl." The Doctor gave Robin a shifty eyed look before adding, "Maybe three times if your lucky."<br><br>The Doctor pouted and looked away from Robin, fiddling absentmindedly with a joy stick on the controls whilst he stared glumly at the ground. Much like a spoiled child who had just been told they couldn't have any more ice cream.

				"Doctor," Robin said, a small smile touching her lips, "You seem to have forgotten that, as you've said, I have a frustratingly long life ahead of me. One that... Well, anyway..." she started to sound a little awkward but she soldiered on. "We have literally <em>as much time</em> as we could want to travel together. And I'd like to go back to college while I still find it interesting, and you know. See my brother before I can't anymore."<br><br>Her face had grown a bit sad but she smiled, leaning her head on his shoulder. <br><br>"And you can visit anytime you want. Literally," she said, laughing. "Come visit me everyday if you like. I'd love to see you. I won't promise to be a 'good girl' but you know you wouldn't have me any other way." Then her own shifty-eyed look appeared and she turned to face him, rubbing her fingers lightly up and down his arm.<br><br>"Also... would you mind if I steal some clothes from the wardrobe? I can't very well wear this dress everyday - though I'm sure you wouldn't object, naughty boy - and none of my old clothes fit me anymore. As soon as I can I'll shop but... Nothing compares to the TARDIS's clothes. Please?" she looked up at him, her purple eyes wide and pleading.

				The Doctor met her gaze for a moment and stared into her eyes in silence, a blank look on his face, until eventually he rolled his eyes and let out another sigh.<br><br>"Fine, go off to your fancy college and raid my wardrobe!" The Doctor groaned, but not angrily. "But if I end up regenerating again and turning into a woman, you have to give all of my clothes back!" The Doctor said before getting up and taking off his suit jacket. He took the item of clothing and made a move to hang it off the periscope, but rather than hang off it, the clothes slid off and the periscope fell to the ground with a clang.<br><br>"Now that I think about it. I really need to repair my TARDIS properly. She's been through a lot since the Master shot her," the Doctor said whilst rubbing his hand over the controls almost soothingly.<br><br>"Oh and one last thing before you pop off to pack," the Doctor said as he turned to Robin, hesitating for a moment before saying with difficulty. "Keep my jumper. It suited you," the Doctor mumbled and picked up his jacket and the remains of the periscope before tossing them onto the control panel. "You look cuter in it than me"

				Robin grinned happily even though she'd known she would get her way. Apparently the Doctor found it very hard to say no to her... A fact that she would have to remember in case it came in handy later. An idea struck her then... One that might get her into trouble but one she couldn't ignore. She began to walk toward the wardrobe, but as she reached the stairs she paused. Slowly, Robin reached around her back and pulled down the zip, letting the dress drop to pool at her feet. If the Doctor looked he would see her flawless, pale back, bare except for the pair of black lace panties she wore. Then she walked down into the wardrobe, looking until she found a bag.<br><br>She set to work quickly, pulling things that looked about her size from their hangers and throwing them haphazardly into the bag. Though she knew she'd go shopping soon, she wanted access to things she probably wouldn't be able to find on Earth. As she worked she hummed, some long-forgotten song that she only knew the melody to. <br><br>When she'd finished raiding the closet, she pulled on a bra she'd found, then looked at the outfit she'd chosen. First, she pulled on the black tights, and over that she slid into the tiny black miniskirt. On top she wore a tight, purple tanktop. Grinning, she pulled on the cowboy hat she'd found, placing a huge pair of black sunglasses on top of it. On her feet she put the black boots from earlier. <br><br>Robin sauntered back to the deck of the TARDIS, finding the Doctor's jumper and putting that in the bag as well. She walked to stand in front of him and twirled, giving him a wide smile.<br><br>"What do you think?"

				Deers that had been caught in the headlights of oncoming cars had looked less shocked than the Doctor when Robin stripped from her dress in front of him. He gawked after her, unable to resist leaning forwards on the controls to keep up the stare, before suddenly letting out a yell as one of the buttons gave way and the TARDIS began to let out a loud blaring alarm.<br><br>"ITS OKAY! ITS OKAY! CALM DOWN!" The Doctor yelled, picking himself up and frantically fiddling with the controls until eventually the alarms ceased. "Sorry old girl," the Doctor muttered as he patted the controls tenderly. "That was Robin's fault, she distracted me by being a minx." A jagged zapping sound came from the TARDIS and the Doctor let out a cry of surprise and outrage before pointing after Robin and yelling, "I am not! Don't be so silly!"<br><br>The Doctor's face was burning red as he affectionately pawed at the controls, stroking a few of the buttons tenderly. "Besides," the Doctor began. "You know you'll always be the only girl for me," he said before grinning at the TARDIS. "You and me have still got a heck of a lot more running to do."<br><br>When Robin walked in the Doctor let out a wolf whistle and smirked mischievously at Robin. "Looking good my dear. Your mother would completely disapprove of what you're wearing," the Doctor said before his expression turned stern, "So seeing as your mother told me how I'm obligated to look after you, I object to this style and you must be rid of it immediately!" <br><br>"I will not have boys drooling over sweet innocent Robin Baker on my watch" The Doctor said before breaking into a sudden laugh and saying with a chuckle. "Oh dear, can you imagine if I was like that?"

				"Yes," she said, eyeing the Doctor with one eyebrow raised, "I met your first self, remember?" She laughed and winked at him. "Besides, Doctor, no matter how many boys drool and wink over me, not one of them could even <em>hope</em> to be capable of handling me. And I believe I heard you call me sweet and innocent? You certainly are a kidder, aren't you."<br><br>Robin stepped close to the Doctor, her body again pressed to his like it had been when they were dancing. Placing a finger on his shoulder, she trailed it down his arm and back up, pressing just hard enough so that he'd feel it through his shirt. Again she looked up at him with wide eyes.<br><br>"So, I'm going to need a flat," she said. "And some bed linens... And some things to decorate... And I need to get enrolled - preferably under a different last name... And school supplies... And decorations..."<br><br>---<br><br>A couple of hours later, Robin burst into her new, spacious flat. Placing several bags on the ground, she cupped her hands around her mouth and called out loudly, the noise bouncing off the walls of the large living room and kitchen.<br><br>"Hello, new flatmate!" she yelled, a wide smile on her face. "Are you there? Are you a Texan? Can you cook? Do you like scary movies? Are you there??"

				The questions were met with the sound of an explosion as one of the bedroom doors flew off its hinges and crashed onto the ground. Green smoke poured from the open doorway, accompanied by the sound of loud blaring rock music, passing over the floor and quickly making the spacious Texan flat seem more like the misty moors of Scotland.<br><br>Something stirred amidst the green smoke, followed by the sound of coughing and spluttering. A figure walked out from the smoke, a young woman, dressed in black leather jacket, tattered grey shirt and skin tight jeans. Her skin was the color of bronze and her black hair was tied back in spikes, making it bare a slight resemblance to a pineapple. She rubbed at her eyes with tattered fingerless gloves and let out a groan as she looked down at the heavy boots on her feet.<br><br>"Awww bugger. I think I just blew up my new boots," she cursed in a British accent whilst surveying the damage dealt to the thick leather boots, that looked so hard that it seemed as if the explosive had done barely any damage to them.<br><br>The girl looked up from her boots, as if noticing for the first time that she wasn't alone, and gave Robin a small wave and a slight smile of embarrassment, "Uh...hi, sorry about that. A little experiment of mind went wrong," she said with a chuckle, striding across the room to the kitchen, completely ignoring the vast amounts of green smoke still pouring from her room.<br><br>"A little experiment involving Glycol and a few other chemicals. It turns out that peppermint mentos wasn't the best of choices," she said as she opened the fridge and pulled out a pizza box before dumping it on the counter and ceasing a piece with a greedy bite. "The names Nitro. Who are you?"

				Robin's face was completely shocked as she watched the girl. Her eyes darted quickly between the tight outfit, the crazy hair, and the green smoke billowing out of the girl's room. Of all the things she'd thought her flatmate would be, this was the exact opposite. Slowly, a wide grin began to spread across Robin's face, until it seemed that all of her teeth were showing. She walked forward, stepping right up close to the girl and examining her from just a few inches.<br><br>"I'm Robin," she said in her own British accent, still beaming. "I'm your new flatmate. Nitro, is it? That's a lovely name." After a moment of examining the girl, Robin grabbed a piece of pizza herself without asking and stepped back. Holding up a finger, she called out the door as though addressing someone.<br><br>"Doctor! Get in here! You're gonna love my new friend!"

				Nitro seemed to chew the pizza in the most unladylike manner possible whilst she watched Robin. She leaned with her elbows on the counter and grinned at Robin with a mouth full of cheese and tomato. She didn't say anything else, the introduction seemed to suffice, but when her new room mate called for her friend, a look of confusion crossed over her pretty face.<br><br>"I'm coming! I'm coming!" The Doctor yelled as he dashed into their apartment, carrying a box under one arm, a suit case in his hand and several dresses on his shoulder. In his other hand, he carried the sonic screwdriver, that he waved about in alarm, as if hoping to stab and slice at whatever danger had appeared.<br><br>"I'm here! I'm here and the place smells of mint!" The Doctor yelled before finally turning to Robin and Nitro and looking at them blankly for a moment. Once he realised that there was no danger, the Doctor frowned and put the screwdriver away, looking disappointed that there was no immediate life threatening danger.<br><br>"Hello, I'm the Doctor," he said to nitro, lifting the fedora hat in greeting, before frowning again, this time in embarrassment, as he realised how strange he must look, dressed in 1930s clothing. "Excuse the look. I'm trying to bring back the 1930s gangster look"

				Robin took a bite of her own pizza and watched with amusement as the Doctor came, running, into the room. A giggle bubbled up in her throat as she gazed at him carrying her things and waving the sonic frantically. She still hadn't told him that she had ahold of her mother's... That would be a fun conversation for later. After she'd updated it a bit. Laughing, she turned to Nitro.<br><br>"This is the Doctor," she said, gesturing to the strange man. "I've got him whipped. The mighty Doctor, carrying my shopping!" Her laugh was louder when she looked back at him. "And no, dear, this one isn't trying to kill me. You can deposit all of those things in my room if you don't mind." With a mischievous smile, she looked back at her flatmate.<br><br>"So, Nitro, where are you from?" she asked, winking. "What brings you to Rice? I take it you're a chemical engineering major or something of the sort? Do you like Texas? What's your favorite color?" She stopped, eyes widening. "That's new. I'm very... question-y. I like it!"

				"Whipped?" The Doctor cried, spluttering with disbelief. "I am not whipped. I'm the oncoming storm, the guardian of time and in some cultures I'm known as the great egg and spoon race champion. No one can whip the Doctor," the Doctor protested, dropping the box and clothes down with a stubborn grunt and crossing his arms as he pouted. "Then again..." the Doctor began, a thoughtful look on his face, "...there was that time in Egypt when someone actually whipped me."<br><br>Nitro spluttered as her pizza went down the wrong way and flung herself at the kitchen sink, turning the tap on and gulping down a great mouthful of water to clear the blockage. Once she was done she let out a giggle, her head still halfway into the sink, before straightening up and turning back to the Doctor and Robin with a grin on her face.<br><br>"Wicked, you're both weirdos!" She said happily, her brown eyes brimming with mischief as they darted back and fourth between the two. "Fantastic, I've always wanted a weirdo for a flat mate."<br><br>"That is the first time I have ever heard someone say that after meeting me," the Doctor said curiously before looking around the apartment. Only now did he notice the small burn marks on the ceiling, the rare blue stains on the carpet and the bullet hole in the wall. "Is this the first time you've lived with a weirdo?"<br><br>"Yup, all the others were so normal and boring," Nitro tutted, grabbing another slice of pizza and biting the end off it. "They got so uptight over the smallest things, like being woken up at night by explosions, finding bullets in the fridge and liquid nitrogen under the sink. They were so petty."<br><br>The Doctor stifled a laugh as he obtained a new perspective on the war wounds that covered the apartment, "Just out of curiosity, how many flat mates have you had?"<br><br>"Lets see..." Nitro began, leaning on the counter and looking up to the ceiling as she began to think it over. "I'm in the first year of my course. I've been living here for about ten months... so about... fourteen."<br><br>"That is astounding," the Doctor laughed before grabbing Robin's shoulders and pushing her towards Nitro. "Take her under your wing. There is much that you can teach her. I want her to be a mistress of destruction once you are done."<br><br>"I'll see what I can do," Nitro chuckled before turning to Robin and smirking. "And to answer your very question-y questions. I'm taking a major in chemistry. I came to Rice because my Mum and Dad have always been big on traveling, they run a world wide charity you see, so I got to see Texas and other parts of America quite a few times. I guess I liked Texas the best because of all the barbeque and cowboys. My favorite color is black, I'm from London, England and I have a tattoo on my back of an alien riding a Harley Davidson." <br><br>"Not that you asked, but I thought that since you're moving in you should know everything about me," Nitro spoke, before cocking her head curiously at Robin. "How did you manage that by the way? I thought they had started tearing up flat mate request forms to do with this place."<br><br>"Simple really," the Doctor said with a nonchalant shrug. "When you're the close personal friend of the governor of Texas, you can pretty much tell the cows when to moo."<br><br>"You're a friend of the Governor of Texas?" Nitro asked with surprise.<br><br>"Yeah!" The Doctor answered, before murmuring under his breath. "Just not the current Governor of Texas."<br><br>Nitro's brow arched questioningly, but she didn't press on. Instead she turned back to Robin and said, without pause or shame, "I also sleep walk, listen to loud rock music and fix my motor bike in the kitchen. Is that going to be a problem?"

				"Doctor," Robin pointed out, taking a thoughtful bite of her own slice of pizza, "since when do I need any help being a mistress of destruction? I recently was almost involved in a wedding that could have wiped out several races from existence, not to mention the fact that every time you look at me you almost have a heart attack." Her grin was wide and her eyes sparkled. Turning to her new flatmate, she placed her hands on her hips.<br><br>"Don't listen to the Doctor's braggadocio," she said, rolling her eyes and winking. "He's not all he thinks he is. In answer to <em>your</em> questions, no, none of that should bother me... In fact I think we're going to get along quite well. I don't sleep much myself and I have a feeling there might be a few explosions from my own room... So as long as we're on the same page as far as that goes I think we're good."<br><br>For a moment she seemed to think, then grinned mischievously as she looked between Nitro and the Doctor. A giggle worked its way out of her and she clapped a little madly.<br><br>"I do have a condition about the motorbike, though," she said. "You can only work on it as long as you teach me how to drive! And can I see your tattoo? What kind of alien is on the bike? Also I may have... visitors... at certain odd times... You'll be okay with that, yeah?" After thinking about this for a second her eyes widened and she hastily continued. "I mean... Not <em>those</em> kinds of visitors, more like... work associates."

				"No problem at all," Nitro answered with a nod and a grin. She turned on the spot before lifting up her shirt (completely ignoring the Doctor's splutter of surprise) to reveal a tattoo of a little green martian, with a big head and tiny black eyes, riding the legendary bike towards her shoulder blade. She seemed perfectly at ease with showing off her back, even when in the presence of a man, but whether it was because she didn't mind or didn't care was unknown. "Little tattoo I got when I visited Roswell. To tell the truth I got it in Mexico, but it wasn't long after my trip to Roswell."<br><br>"Ah Roswell, good times," the Doctor said wistfully, staring into the distance with a small smile on his roughly shaven face. "That was quite a fender-bender."<br><br>"Um, right," Nitro said slowly, finally seeming to register the Doctor's strangeness for the first time as she noted the reminiscent look on his face. Her gaze shifted between him and Robin for a moment before she asked. "So...when you say work associates, what do you mean? Are you two part of a business or something?"<br><br>"You could call it that. I do make a lot of things my business," the Doctor said with a nod of consideration.

				Robin leaned in to inspect the tattoo, a grin on her face. Of course she hadn't met any <em>real</em> aliens that looked like the typical human drawing of one, but it was still a great tattoo. It also meant that Nitro would be fine taking Robin along on her first trip to the tattoo parlor... A more secretive edge appeared in her smile as she thought of her plan. <br><br>"Doctor," she said in an amused tone, "In your quest to show off in front of <em>my</em> new flatmate, you seem to have forgotten who it was who decided to come here... Anyway, Nitro, yes. We're sort of... Freelance detectives of a sort." She grinned widely at the Doctor. "Does that title fit us? I think so. The Doctor and Robin, freelance detectives." She whirled again to face her flatmate.<br><br>"Are you interested in aliens?" Robin asked nonchalantly.

				"Who isn't?" Nitro replied to Robin with a smile, but her eyes did not leave the Doctor. Something in her eyes seemed to stir uncomfortably, as if she were trying to remember something important, something that related to the strange man who stood before her. "So if you're detectives...what are you doing here?"<br><br>"Robin's going undercover. It's all part of a plan to rumble whoever is behind the great cafeteria food conspiracy," the Doctor replied as he swiped one of the pizza slices and sniffed it before shoving it into his mouth. "Its all hush hush, so watch who you tell. Otherwise they could be hamburgers by the morning," the Doctor said with difficulty as he chewed the savory treat.<br><br>"You just made all that up," Nitro said, a touch of curiosity lighting up her smile.<br><br>"Of course I made it up. I was hungry and thinking about food," the Doctor said after swallowing a mouthful of pizza and wiping his hands on his trousers. "Or maybe I just told you the truth and this is actually a lie to cover my tracks. Dwell on that until the next time I see you."<br><br>"Robin, it's time for me to go," the Doctor said before motioning to the doorway. "How about we go and get the last of your stuff out of the TAR...Tar...Car...the car!" The Doctor said after bumbling over a few words, lifting his hat to Nitro in a farewell gesture before he walked out of the room.

				Robin knew that look on Nitro's face. Something about the Doctor just made you want to know who he was... But at the same time, it seemed as though you already knew who he was. She wondered if it was his voice, or something about him related to the recent attempt at world domination. Robin grinned. No one would remember her from the incident... Even though she was technically the one who started it.<br><br>"Ignore the Doctor," Robin said to Nitro. "He's got a bit of a stutter and an insane imagination." And yet she still didn't answer the girl's question. This was going to be harder than she thought, trying to act human. However, Nitro wasn't exactly the most normal of humans, so maybe she wouldn't notice. Robin walked over to the Doctor and linked her arm through his.<br><br>"Off we go. To the car," she said, smiling at Nitro. "Back in a mo'. Then we can... Bond! Is that what flatmates do? Bond!"

				Once Robin and the Doctor had left Nitro stared after the two of them with curiosity. When they were finally out of sight, she crossed to her room, hopping over the blasted off door. Nitro's room was a mess, its walls were covered with posters, so much so that not one speck of what lay beneath could be seen, and there was chemistry equipment covering the shelves and desk. Amongst the tools on the desk was a PC computer with stickers littered about on its casing.<br><br>She started up the computer and sat down at the desk, rapping her fingers on the desk as she watched the screen boot up. She started up the internet and began to type out an email, all the time thinking about what she had just witnessed and the people she had met.<br><br>"The Doctor... the Doctor... the Doctor..." Nitro whispered as she rapidly typed on the keyboard. "I don't know you. We have never met," she hit enter and the message sent. "But... I know a lot about someone else."<br><br>Somewhere far away from Texas, a message bleeped on the screen of a smart phone. The owner raised it in front of her and looked at it curiously. They couldn't deny that it was the last text that they would have thought to receive from the young woman. Eccentric though she might be, what she asked of was something strange, something that they hadn't spoken of in a very long time.<br><br><div align="center"><em>Tell me again about the Time Lord</em></div><br><div align="center">---</div><br>"So, you have clothes, cash, a mobile that can call me any time and a key to the TARDIS, just in case I loose the old girl," the Doctor spoke as he handed Robin the last of her luggage. "Which happens more than you think. Remind me to tel you about the Weeping Angels one day. They're very complicated bad guys."<br><br>They were stood in the car park of the University, parked between a large jeep and a big blue van, which the Doctor had insisted was a big improvement on the big creepy white van they had needed to drive during the war on Earth. The Doctor dusted his hands as he handed her the last bag and smiled at her before asking, "Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to move in and start this whole...undercover schtick. There are easier ways of getting killed." <br><br>"We could fly into the heart of a black hole. We could go tell the Silurians that they're not allowed to live on Earth. We could even go to the French Revolution and get our heads chopped off," the Doctor said before his face suddenly lit up with excitement. "Hey, that's not a bad idea! Let's go to the French Revolution! We could see Marie Tussaud, one of the greatest wax work artists that ever lived. She could make my handsome mug and we could sneak it into the wax work museum in England!"

				Robin accepted the miscellaneous items with a small smile on her face. But she really lit up when he handed her a key to the TARDIS. The Doctor treated this like it was no big deal, but Robin knew it was. It meant he trusted her... Trusted her with <em>his</em> ship, the most advanced piece of technology the universe held. His TARDIS, who had been the one constant companion through all his travels.<br><br>"I'm sure, Doctor," she said with a laugh, looking up at him. "As much as I'd love to see a version of your face that is actually capable of shutting up, I think this is the right place for me to be right now. I'm helping out my brother, I get a little more college experience... And you know you can drop in on me any time, I'll always be happy to see you." Her voice was a bit more sincere than normal, her face not quite as mischievous as it normally was.<br><br>"And if I get in trouble, I have the mobile. I won't go anywhere without it. Besides, it shouldn't be anything too bad!" She grinned, her purple eyes full of life, and flung herself at the Doctor. Wrapping her arms around his neck she pressed a kiss solidly on his cheek. "I'll miss you," she whispered in his ear.

				The Doctor sighed lightly and hugged Robin back, holding her tightly to his chest as he finally accepted the inevitable, Robin Baker was going to college and not even he could change that. <br><br>The Doctor knew that in a way this would be for the best. He still needed to investigate the gap in the universe and find out why the walls between dimensions were breaking down, and if experience had taught him anything, it was that catastrophic events such as that were bound to lead to something incredibly dangerous. It would be much safer for Robin to remain on Earth, safe and sound, living her odd new life.<br><br>"I'll miss you too Robin Baker," the Doctor mumbled as they parted and gave Robin a small smile as he kicked open the door of the TARDIS. "I'll be back soon. Try not to blow the place up while I'm gone. I would like the pleasure of doing that."<br><br>And with that the Doctor stepped back into the TARDIS, waving at the young Time Lord with a twinkle in his eye and a sparkle in his pearly white grin.<br><br>"Toodles!" He called before shutting the door and within moments the TARDIS began to flicker in and out of existence, its unearthly sounds resounding through the car park, as it dematerialised and began its journey, leaving Robin alone at Rice University, ready to begin her own adventure.<br><br>At least, it seemed that way at first. Before Robin could so much as blink, the TARDIS returned, slowly emerging once more on the concrete of the car park. The doors opened and the Doctor stepped out, still wearing the 1930s suit and the fedora hat.<br><br>"Silly me," the Doctor sighed, shaking his head wearily as he stepped out of the magical blue box. "Almost forgot something very important" the Doctor said and without a second of hesitation, grabbed Robin by the collar of shirt and pulled her into him, before planting a firm kiss to her mouth.<br><br>This time, the kiss was not innocent or light, this time the kiss was passionate, so much so that Robin's balance was almost taken away by the fierceness of the embrace. The Doctor held Robin tightly to him, his thumb gently brushing her cheek while his other hand placed itself on the small of her back, keeping her pressed to him, until eventually he pulled back and let out a small gruff chuckle against her lips.<br><br>"Now we're even," the Doctor said before smacking Robin on the backside and running back to the TARDIS, giving Robin one last wink before closing the doors behind him and setting off on a new journey, laughing loudly the entire time.

				"I'll try my best... But if you ask me, it seems that Nitro might be more likely to do the blowing up," Robin smiled back at the Doctor as he backed into the TARDIS. Though she would miss him, she looked forward to her stay here, especially since it would give her a chance to see her brother again. Even so... When the TARDIS started up, Robin's smile faded a little and grew sad. She had just discovered an entirely new life, and here she was, leaving it behind...<br><br>So it was with shock that she realized the TARDIS was rematerialising in front of her. <em>Either he's forgotten something or something really bad is happening,</em> Robin thought, taking a wary step back. When the Doctor emerged, seemingly intact, she sighed with relief. But then he did something she was completely not expecting, pulling her roughly to him and... kissing her.<br><br>The kiss was hard and passionate, and Robin's eyes were wide as saucers the entire time. Of all the things she would have anticipated the Doctor doing, that was certainly not one of them. It was so often <em>her</em> doing the kissing, never him. Not that she was complaining, of course... He'd pulled her so roughly to him that she nearly lost her balance, and her breath was coming in gasps against his lips. <em>Maybe I should just go with him,</em> she started to think, but then all too soon he was pulling away from her.<br><br>An indignant yelp was all Robin could get out when he smacked her bum before he was hopping back into the TARDIS. Laughing maniacally, of course... Robin's eyes narrowed as she rubbed her sore backside and picked up the last of her belongings. Placing the TARDIS key in her pocket, she started walking to the flat.<br><br>"Even, right," she muttered as she reached the door. "You're in for it, big boy..." Pushing open the door, she smiled brightly. "Oh, Nitro! Let's go get ice cream or something!"
