Prologue - Noble and Tyler

Beta: SpikeyGirl

Donna Noble:

In another time, Donna was lounging in the hot spa on Midnight. The Doctor had asked her whether she wanted to see that sapphire waterfall with him. Donna declined that offer, instead, she was here. It was nice to have a relaxing break for once. She idly wondered how the Doctor was doing. Knowing him, Donna would have guessed that something would have gone wrong and he was jumping around trying to fix it. She closed her eyes and relaxed in the soothing bubbles around her.

After a while, she opened her eyes and decided to check out the anti-gravity restaurant. Donna slipped on the dressing gown and walked out of the hot spa. She did not expect a man with an orange mask standing in the doorway.

"Oi! Could you move a little? You're blocking my path!" she demanded. The masked man didn't budge. Instead, he created weird gestures with his hands. "Alright, move it, loser!" Nothing. "Excuse me?!"

The masked man stopped making hand gestures and looked her in the eye. A red eye shined through the only hole in the mask.

"Okay, that's not right." Donna pointed out, "You can't just have a red eye like that. It's not pos-"

She was shut off as her mysterious masked captor pulled her across dimensions.

~~~~~xXx~~~~~

"-sible..."

Donna finished to see the faces of that masked man again — she really needed to find out that guy's name — and a weird half-black half-white person with a plant-y thing on the outside. Weirdest alien she'd seen so far.

"Okay, who the heck are you two?" she shouted and tried to wriggle free of the ropes, "And get me out of here!"

Neither men, well, the plant person was assumed to be a man, paid her any heed. They conversed in low voices. Ooh, typical bad guy motives.

"Yes, she seems to be civilian, Tobi-sama."

"And a loud one at that…"

"Oi! I heard you!" Donna yelled indignantly. With a flick of the masked man's hand, she was silenced and sent to sleep.

Rose Tyler:

It had been one year since she'd last met the Doctor on Bad Wolf Bay. Her parallel-universe brother was in preschool and the Metacrisis Duplicate was currently living with her. He went along with the alias 'John Smith' (how original…) and they recently got married. Rose and John, I mean…not Jackie an—actually, don't even go there!

"Rose, I'm going out to get some pizza, keep an eye on your mum and Tony for me!" Pete said as the door opened and closed, signalling that he had left. John walked in and sat next to Rose on the sofa.

"You alright?" he asked. Rose looked at him and nodded.

"Yeah…" she fiddled with the hem of her shirt and looked at her wedding ring, "We're finally married… after all that time I spent looking for ya, it's just…"

The Metacrisis smiled and placed an arm around Rose's shoulders, holding her close to him. Her head rested on his shoulder. This was a picture-perfect moment until a 'swip' sound interrupted them. By now, you all must be thinking that it's that orange-masked man we all love, Tobi! Well, it is him, for the third time.

Rose squeaked and clinged onto John as though there was no tomorrow. Good choice. It was at times like this that John wished that the Doctor gave him a sonic, he hadn't the parts to make one himself.

"You are Rose Tyler, am I correct?" Tobi said monotonously with a pointed glare at Rose. She nodded numbly, she'd stared down monsters and daleks countless times but this guy was giving her the creeps like no other. Jackie ran straight into the room after she heard the foreign voice.

"What are you doing in my living room, asking for my daughter, you…you freak!" she demanded, "I've had enough of this. Get out! Go on, shoo!" Made sense, nothing scared Jackie, except that Christmas tree that one time.

Tobi made no such move to exit the house, instead, he flickered right in front of the blonde mother of two and gripped her neck tightly.

"Let her go." John said, with a deadly tone, as he took steps forward to confront the intruder. Tobi took a look at the duplicate and dropped Jackie like she was old news. Rose rushed to her mother, asking her whether she was alright repeatedly.

"I have no time for silly games like this. Rose, you will either come to me willingly-"

"I'm not going anywhere with someone who hurt my mother," Rose stated coldly, "Why are you here?"

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you."

"That's a pity." Rose stood up and took out her phone, "Well Torchwood'll know what to do with ya." She did not take kindly to people who invade her home and start hurting her family. It had been a while since she did this thing, trying to negotiate or run away from aliens…or running away in general. She would accept the fact that she may be getting rusty. She had the best of times here, but she was only in her twenties! How could she die or be taken away now? She just got married to the duplicate of the Doctor, which is the best she could ask for. They were going to live together for the rest of their lives!

Whoosh! A flurry of hand seals and the ex-companion was whisked away. John knelt in the area where his wife once was and cried silently. To be honest, he wasn't used to this open emotion thing. But his Rose was gone. 'Come on, there's got to be another way,' the Duplicate thought determinedly, 'Rose won't be lost forever; not now. I'll find her, I swear.'

~~~~~xXx~~~~~

"Take me back!" Rose screeched as soon as she was put down, tears trailing down her cheek, "Take me back NOW!"

Tobi did no such thing, instead, he grabbed some rope and tied her up. It really couldn't have been that easy to kidnap her, or that Donna Noble girl. Donna lay asleep in the corner of the prison, where he placed a light genjutsu on the blonde and shoved her there too. In all honesty, it was too easy of a job, but his chakra reserves were failing him slightly. That was unusual. A wave of fatigue washed over him. Once he got his hands on the TARDIS and his plan was complete, it'd make pulling off the Eye of the Moon plan easier. Tobi walked back to his room and planned the next step: finding the Doctor.
