Pairing(s): Doctor/Romana. Martha/Mickey, Jack/Ianto (duh).
This is my only notice, enjoy the story, like my KH fic I shall be telling you how many words are in each chapter and how much I personally enjoyed said chapter.
Chapter 1: The Stolen Earth.
Romana, a 900 year old Time Lady, former companion of the Doctor, was currently piloting her TT capsule to the front line of the Time War on Gallifrey to fight alongside the Doctor, however, when she reached her home planet she watched on in horror as Gallifrey disappeared before her very eyes. As she saw Gallifrey disappear she watched with a slight smile as the Daleks, who had been surrounding a now gone planet, kept on firing, now at their own ships, and blew themselves to Kingdom Come.
For some reason Romana thought about one of her old companions, his name was Ben, however his last name was what made his name funny, his full name was Ben Dover. Romana always smiled at that.
Romana was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice a shockwave heading towards her until it was too late. The shockwave blasted into her TT capsule sending it flying into empty space, the force caused Romana to hit her head on her console, knocking her out and causing the back of head to open up.
~Meanwhile~
On Earth, well to be more precise, Roald Dahl Plass, Cardiff, Wales, Earth. An American man in WW2 garb stood facing the bay with his hands in his pockets, over the last few months he and his friends had suffered two terrible losses, the first was the flirty Owen Harper, he had been a Doctor, but had died in a Nuclear Meltdown, the loss was truly saddening. The other was of Toshiko Sato, she had been a computer genius, but had died when the man's former colleague/lover had shot her. She died talking to Owen.
The man's name was Captain Jack Harkness, CEO of Torchwood 3, and the reason why he was standing in the Plass was because of a sense of unease. Jack looked up to see a fast moving object hurtle towards the Earth.
The object, whatever it was, survived travelling through the Earth's atmosphere and landed with an almighty crash, just a few feet in front of Jack. Jack, having closed his eyes, didn't see the object change into a 1960's Police Public Call box.
When Jack opened his eyes he grinned at the sight before him, so, running up to the doors he banged on them shouting. "DOCTOR!"
After a few minutes of banging, which lead to polite knocking Jack was beginning to get worried, so, he pulled out his TARDIS key and attempted to open the lock, only to find the key didn't work. "The hell?" Jack muttered. Suddenly he remembered what the Doctor had told him back when said man was all leather and ears.
~Flashback~
"If you're going to be travelling with me there is something you must know. In cases of emergency all TARDIS's have a spare key above their doors." The Doctor had told him.
~End Flashback~
Jack put his hands over the 'Call Box' part of the sign and searched for the spare key, when he found said key, he grabbed it and ran in the TARDIS, only to find out it wasn't the same as he remembered… The interior was a mix of blue and green, the console in front of him had only one side and there was safety handles, instead of railing.
"Wow, nice look Doc." Jack called out expecting to hear a shout of invasion of privacy before a friendly reunion, however, when none came Jack got slightly worried, Jack moved towards the corridor just outside of the console room, only to trip on an obstruction. When Jack looked down he saw a woman of about 29 lying on the ground with blood pouring from the back of her head. Jack, without even realising what he was doing picked up the woman and ran to the hub as fast as he could go, after shutting the TARDIS door of course.
When Jack ran into the hub, underneath the ground he was greeted by shocked looked from his colleagues. Jack placed the woman on the medical bed in the medical area before shouting. "A little help please!" Jack was frantic, mainly because he didn't want his friend, no matter what his/her gender to die.
Ianto was the first to arrive; he quickly placed a surgical mask over his mouth before asking. "Who's this Jack?"
Jack leant on the bed, with his face down and replied. "It's the Doctor, I'm fairly certain it's her. Yes, my Doctor, the one I always talk about. I promise to answer any questions later; first we need to heal her head…" However Jack didn't get to finish as a gentle golden light surrounded the woman's features. "Get back Ianto." Jack told his friend quietly.
"Why?" Ianto asked slowly backing away from the glowing woman.
"She's regenerating, soon she'll look completely different." Jack replied holding onto Ianto's hand as the Time Lady's feature's gently phased into another's.
The woman's head became softer, more round, her now open eyes turned from a pale blue to a nice shade of violet with a slight hint of red. Her hair became longer, and changed from brown to red. Her more womanly features, on her chest, grew slightly and her legs became longer. Over all she looked beautiful, again. 'This is so not fair.' Jack thought to himself as he saw, what he thought was his friend, become virtually irresistible.
"Ah, hello everyone." The woman said in a soft, but definitely Scottish voice. "Let's see then. Hmm, my hair looks lovely, mmm, a bit bigger, but I'll get used to it." She tried to stand up, but stumbled, however Jack rushed to her side before she fell.
"Do you need anything?" Jack asked the woman kindly.
Said woman smiled before saying. "Tea would help."
~POV change~
After her tea Romana felt a lot better, after the free radicals really helped in post-regeneration. She thought her accent didn't really suit her, but, if that's the way it has to be.
Next to Romana the man, who had introduced himself as 'Jack Harkness' sat down next to her. "So how have you been Doc?" Jack asked as if talking to a long lost friend. Romana didn't know why but the human next to her felt wrong, very wrong but she would not be prejudiced to this human who hadn't used her for 'research'.
Romana looked at Jack strangely. "My name's not the Doctor. It's Romanadvoratrelundar." Romana informed the man crisply.
Jack looked like a deer in the headlights. "That's a mouthful. Would 'Romana' suffice?"
Romana almost laughed at the familiar question, so she replied as she had before. "No, it's Romanadvoratrelundar, or, as the Doctor would say, Fred. However, Romana seems much easier does it not?"
"Indeed." Jack laughed. However, his joy didn't last long as a huge Earthquake rocked Cardiff and, unknown to Torchwood, the world. "The fuck was that?! Was it the rift? IANTO!"
Gwen Cooper, a very friendly woman picked herself of the ground exasperated. "The whole city must of felt that, the whole of South Wales!"
Ianto, closely followed by the rest of the gang, approached a monitor and flicked it on before reporting. "A bit bigger then South Wales." On the Screen showed the Seismic activity, a score of 10 on the Richter Scale, all around the world.
Romana ran out of the hub, closely followed by Jack and looked up at the sky, Romana counted 26 planets. One thought went through Romana's before she fainted. 'Oh shit.'
When Romana woke up, it was to Jack saying to Gwen. "The whole worlds' calling out, just leave it." It was clear that they had given up the will to fight.
However, a voice on screen called the man to attention. "Captain Jack Harkness, shame on you, now stand to attention sir!"
"What?" Jack asked approaching the screen. "Who is that?" He could've guessed but he just liked Harriet's antics too much.
His little play worked well as the woman on screen lifted an ID and said in an authoritative. "Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister."
"Yeah," Jack laughed "I know who you are."
"Excellent." Harriet replied. "Now then Sarah Jane Smith, 13 Bannerman Road."
"I've heard about your work." Jack complimented. "Nice job with the Slitheen."
"Yeah well, I'm staying away from you lot, too many guns." Sarah Jane replied nodding to the black haired boy next to her.
"Well, might I say; Looking good ma'am?" Jack asked the now flustered woman.
"Really?" Sarah Jane asked slightly hot and bothered. "Oh."
"Not now Captain." Harriet sighed. "The fourth contact seems to be having a little trouble getting through." Romana frowned slightly, humans weren't supposed to have Subwave technology until at least 2013, well; it's not too far off.
Suddenly, on the monitor a black woman appeared. "Ha ha. Martha Jones!" Jack yelled grinning at the woman on screen. "Guys, this is Martha Jones, former companion of the Doctor, although much more recent then Sarah Jane and my new friend." Jack told the assembled people while grinning maniacally.
'I guess that's my cue.' Romana thought to herself approaching the screen. "Hello everyone, my name is Romanadvoratrelundar, I am a Time Lady, but you can call me Romana." Romana introduced before smiling at Sarah. "Hello Sarah, long time, no see." Sarah Jane merely gaped at Romana's appearance and quietly waved back. "Right, onto work, we need the Doctor, I may be a Time Lady but my TARDIS has been destroyed by now due to that transport you felt."
"Very well, welcome Romana. We need to find a way to contact the Doctor." Harriet told the assembled group.
"What about your phone Martha?" Jack asked Martha who quietly shook her head. "What about that key thing UNIT gave you?" Jack suggested.
Martha pulled out a plastic box with wiring inside, attached to a chain an reported grimly. "The Osterhagen Key."
Romana looked at Martha before slamming her hand down causing the group to look at her in shock. "NO!" Romana shouted fiercely. "As Lady President of Gallifrey I hereby forbid the use of that key, unless there is no other option. Do not argue." Romana growled at Martha who had opened her mouth. "This is a direct order from your superior."
"Wait." Jack interrupted as though he had a 'Eureka'moment. "That's it. If we can call that number using all the power of the rift…"
The black haired boy next to Sarah continued. "And we've got Mr. Smith, he can link up every phone in the whole world. The entire planet calling one number all at once!" The boy chuckled.
"Brilliant…" Jack chuckled. "Who's the kid?"
"That's my son." Sarah replied almost affronted.
Ianto slipped in front of the Jack and smiled at the screen saying. "Sorry, hello Ianto Jones here, if we start transmitting then we will become visible, I mean to the Daleks?"
"Yes, but my life…" Harriet began only to be interrupted by Romana.
"No, I know how to mask your signal, after all I am a Time Lady." Romana informed them.
After Romana finished, Jack and Ianto set up the rift to transmit a really powerful signal, Martha sent the Doctor's mobile number to Mr. Smith and Romana herself set up a hidden, yet equally powerful version of the signal.
After everyone finished their jobs Sarah spoke to her Xylok computer. "Ok, Mr. Smith, make your call."
The Xylok spoke with a slight dramatic flair. "Calling… The Doctor!" And, out of the Roald Dahl artificial waterfall, an invisible signal was sent.
After a few tense moments The Doctor's face appeared on screen. Everyone looked at the Doctor with a smile before Jack yelled. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Doctor, it's the Daleks." Romana paled at the revelation, she had hoped not to run into them so soon after the Time War. Suddenly everyone started talking over each other.
"Oh he's nice I thought he'd be older." Gwen muttered with an almost indistinguishable blush on her face, after all, the man looked really hot.
"He's not that young." Ianto muttered back.
Suddenly everyone started talking over each other, however, the Doctor just beamed with pride. "Look at you all you clever people." The Doctor told the humans in a voice that was successfully concealing a Scottish Accent. However the Doctor's eyes landed on Romana who had tears in her eyes. "Romana, is that you?" The Doctor asked softly.
"Yeah, Doctor, it's me." Romana replied smiling.
"I'll see you soon yeah?" However, the Doctor couldn't continue as a raspy voice croaked.
"Your voice is different and yet, its arrogance is unchanged." Romana paled at the voice, it belonged to an old enemy… DAVROS!
The Doctor next spoke of how he had tried to save Davros at the Gates of Ellysium, from the Nighmare Child itself. "After all this time, I have one thing to say." The Doctor spoke quietly before shouting, with a mad look. "BYE!"
And the monitor turned itself off. "Martha, on the your teleport there should be a string of numbers, but the fourth one will be ocillating between two different digets. Could you read them out to me." Jack asked into his phone. "Thanks, that's a universal teleport code, and that's all I need to get this thing working again." Jack fiddled with his Vortex Maniupulator. Romana scowled at the devise, better then nothing though. "Thank you Martha Jones." Jack clicked the phone shut before looking at his friends. "Be careful you two." Jack called to Ianto and Gwen before grabbing Romana's hand and teleporting to a desolate street where he shot a Dalek with his cool weapon, one he had um, acquired during an adventure with the Doctor.
However, it wasn't all good news as the Dalek had shot the Doctor. Romana ran towards the Doctor and stroked his face. "Hello Doctor."
"Hello, Fred." The Doctor replied smiling before letting off a heart breaking groan.
Romana looked behind her to see a woman with a large gun look at Romana with a look of pure, unadulterated jealousy. "What?" Romana asked bitterly, although she hadn't meant it to be so.
Rose pointed her gun at Romana and yelled hysterically. "Get away from him!" Clearly the continuous use of a Dimension Cannon had shattered the girls' mind as she started giggling.
"Jack, take this girl to the Zero-room of the TARDIS, it should help her calm down." Romana told Jack who nodded before taking the girl into a one armed hug, and pulled her into the TARDIS, slowly followed by Romana and the Doctor's red-headed companion, who were helping the Doctor into the TARDIS.
Inside the TARDIS Romana and the red-head set the Doctor down and went off to one side. "Hello Romana, I'm Donna." The woman, now called Donna said, introducing herself. "The Doctor couldn't stop talking about you."
"Really?" Romana asked looking at the Doctor as he pulled himself onto his feet. "Stand back." Donna, he's about to change." Romana informed Donna who nodded uncertainly before watching as the Doctor threw his head back and started changing.
(I'm going to do the next scene)
The Doctor might have used his handy spare hand in another time, but not now. The Doctor's chin grew, his hair became slightly more wild and his eyes became green. When he finished regenerating the Doctor looked at Romana and asked. "How do I look?"
TO… BE… CONTINUED!
End Chapter
2778 words. Whooppee.
I really enjoyed this chapter, I'm not going to update this regularly due to College work, but I will update now and then. This story will only last until the end of Series 4, which is next chapter, before continuing in… Revitalise. I am taking a leaf out of LizzieXX's book and making this series a 'Re' series.
