Edits: minor edits done as of 14/07/2014.

I took some time off because I realize I did not have a real plot. Plot found. New ideas coming. See you soon.

Any additional ideas, or dialogue ideas for the Doctor (Oh, I am bad with all the elevated diction he uses), will be loved and appreciated.

I have a track record of not finishing fiction, but hopefully this time I can do it ;p I have a pretty solid idea.

The World is burning. "The last child, the last to survive" – The world dies, but Rose Tyler escapes – sent back through time – through the vortex – through universes. Back to the world she was born. Set after the Master and Ten destroy the portal so that Galifrey does not destroy earth in The End of Time. Wilfred does not enter the chamber and Ten never dies. Ten/Rose, Ten D./Rose.

Prologue: The End

The world was burning. Giant clouds of smoke rising, rising and blotting the sky, leaving the world dark, bleeding.

People were running, screaming, doing all they could to survive. Fleeing to the sea, underground, to the skies, anywhere, but to no avail.

Children cried for their mothers. Mother's wept and ended their sorrows. Courageous fathers took arm. Brave men and women lead. But no one could stop it. Stop them. Stop the burning, the fighting, the death, the smoke, the fires. The great, great fires. Billowing flames. The blood seeping through the group, the bodies littering the ground. No one could stop it. Stop the yelling, the cursing, the crying, the killing. No one.

The world was dying.

Giant balloons littered the sky, their bodies falling one by one towards the ground – crushing, crashing, collapsing into cities, civilians, cliffs, condemning all to death's immortal chill.

"What are you doing Jackie! Come on, leave that stuff behind"

"But- Benjamin" the voice sounded confused and elated. "I can hear them"

Benjamin hissed at her "Everybody is screaming Jackie – everyone is dying!"

"But, Benjamin this is-"

A Hindenburg crashed, lighting up the sky – blinding and pushing down everything around it.

"Jackie!" Benjamin yelled in amazement as he held the truck in front of him, burning wind trying desperately to push him to the ground. They shared a look, his eyes flickering to her unclenched hands. He took a step back in surprise as the wind stopped.

"What" His mouth went dry. "But, the explosion…" His heart throbbing against his chest. Drawing the links, his eyes reflected his understanding and shock.

Jackie nodded at him, eyes filling with tears.

"I've been through so much pain Bennie. I've waited so long and now… Now I'll neve-" her face smoothed out, lips pursed. "This is the only way."

"But we can't Jackie!"

His eyes widening as he realized what she meant to do.

"We gotta get out of 'ere!"

Benjamin and Jackie turned towards the sound of a voice – Rose ran towards them, her hands clutching an old beaten, brown suitcase. Her father's bag.

When she'd been searching for the Doctor, warping through time and space, she'd involuntarily stopped at her old pad. Nostalgic, she'd searched the apartment, taking small objects here and there, memorabilia of her past life. In her mother's room she'd found the bag.

She'd felt compelled to bring the old thing back to her mother – a memory of her real father and not her new step father who cared nothing about her; only the little boy who'd died early after birth, effectively destroying the man. No amount of money could fix the boy. He'd been born with Dextrocardia situs inversus and died from heart failure.

"Why you lot lookin' at me like 'at? We're go'na get out a 'ere – Torchwood's coming for us."

Benjamin just stared at her. Eyes wide, mouth slightly parted in the form of an o, his breath erratic, and his eyes shifting quickly between mother and daughter.

"Stop freaking out and come on! We have to get to the platform!" Growled Rose, grinding her teeth at the two creatures; one gapping at her, while the other frowned sadly at her.

"Torchwood isn't coming." The man clipped out, voice chocking as he surveyed the sky; surveying the giant blimps, burning, and crashing like asteroids.

"What are you talking about" Grated the girl, "Torchwood is coming for me. I am the director! I am their leader!"

"They fell from the sky Rose. They're dead. All of them – dead! And there is nothing I can d-"

Jackie looked up at him, eyes glowing fiercely with a glint in them that Rose had never seen before; as if something had awakened inside her. Something ready to fight.

"No, Benjamin. I can do this- we have to do this. Together we can fix this – save her"

"What…?" He gasped, shacking his head, a sob wreaking his body. "I'm not ready". He moaned, holding her violently.

"This is the only way we can set this right, innit?" Jackie roared as she pushed the man off of her by the shoulder and grabbed his face. "Now listen, we do not have a choice. You have to do this Benjamin. If you care anything about her – if you understand what is happening, we must do this".

The moan groaned, mumbling to himself, twisting and contorting his fingers as he paced.

"So… the last child of the planet." Benjamin gripped her shoulders, faces inches from her face, wild eyed. "The last one to survive?".

"The last one… and I'm going to lose her again- she'll lose me - my precious baby"

"What's going on?" Rose asked, lips dipping down, her heart accelerating, feeling apprehensive about the way both adults where holding on to each other. Her eyebrows scrunching down towards her nose creating ripples on her forehead.

The two of them turned and smiled fondly at her.

"Brilliant. Simply Brilliant! And all this time I thought you were…" A part of his other self, the other him, resurfaced – the smile she remembered from so long ago plastered on his face – the same face but so different.

"Oi, careful what you say about me boy!" she grinned, winking at the man.

"Oh Jackie. Oh! Let's do this Jackie – just you and me against the world, what d'ya say!" Benjamin grinned, laughing with tears in his eyes.

Both indulged themselves – laughing as the world died around them.

"Oh, Brilliant. You, you Jacqueline Andrea Suzette Tyler, are a brilliant, brilliant genius is what you are!"

She smiled fondly at him, like a lost friend she'd been waiting so long to see again and took his hand and turned towards her daughter with a determined look.

"I love you so much Rosie – one day, you'll understand I had no choice."

She brought her hand up to her face and whipped the tears from her eyes.

"What's going on." Rose whispered, the hairs on her back standing on end, "This isn't funny. We've destroyed them before – we can do it again!" She shouted at the two figures standing before her – their tired, determined eyes speaking more than words ever could.

"No Rose. You and the Doctor destroyed them – I've never done anything remotely close." He stared at her with blank, sad eyes.

"I wish this could be different, I really do. I wish I could have been what you'd always wanted but… oh… you, you always find a way" his voice cracked and he hugged Jackie to his side, beaming at Rose.

"Don't forget us yeah?"

"I love you so much baby"

"What are you guys prattling on about? Tell me! Stop acting like the world's about to end"

"Oh but Rose…" Her mother gave the tall, brown haired man a firm, grieved look.

Exterminate. The Humans will be Exterminated.

"Now"

Benjamin pulled out a key, a key the Doctor had given him so long ago, and aimed it at Rose.

"I love you. I always have, but you were never mine to keep".

He pressed the small key as though it were the key to a Smart car, the starter inserted into its handle, and she heard the familiar hum of the universe. A sound she had not heard in over a year.

Eyes wide, Rose Tyler stood frozen to the ground, unable to move as the world started blinking in and out of focus.

"Good bye, Rose Tyler."

"No!" She roared, "Mom! Benjamin!"

All Human's will be EXTERMINATED.

All Human's will SURRENDER.

Whaaat iss thisss?

EXTERMINATE.

EXTERMINATE.

EXTERMINATE.
