Greetings fellow readers and writers! This is my very first Doctor Who fic and I hope you like it! Okay, this fic involved the 9th Doctor, as well as Rose and Jack. Consider this an unaired episode of Series 1, taking place between episodes 'Boom Town' and 'Bad Wolf.'
This fic also includes elements and characters from the hit show Winx Club, taking place between seasons 1 and 2, sort of a filler story.
I don't own either show, so please don't sue me, I'm just trying to tell a good fic. Now, without further delay, on with the show!!
********
The universe is full of many wonders throughout the past, present and future. Some beautiful, some terrifying, and some a bit of both. Case in point: The Magical Dimension, a large area of The Milky Way Galaxy that was sealed off from the rest of the universe long ago. It is here in this 'side-universe' that mythical creatures of all shapes and sizes live in relative harmony with humans and other races across hundreds of worlds linked by space travel and other means of transportation. Most of these beings a good, some extraordinarily good, while some are evil, and a few are obscenely evil. This is a story concerning when a great evil clashes with a great good, with everyone's favorite Time Lord in the middle of the conflict.
One of the most beautiful world of The Magical Dimension is Solaria, a world bathed in eternal sunlight. This is a world free of darkness of any kind, while when it does rain, and only on specific days at that, the sun could still be seen.
While possessing several cities full of advanced technology, and other things to be discussed later, Solaria still has plenty of unspoiled tracts of nature. It is on one of these nature preserves that this story can begin.
On a grass-covered sunlit hill, two people sat enjoying their time together. A young man and a young woman, both in their mid-teens and both very much in love. The boy was tall with brown hair and light brown eyes. He wore a blue and green shirt and blue jeans. The girl had long blond hair down to her waist that was set by a hair band. She wore an orange halter top and a green miniskirt. She seemed to radiate with an inner light that made her more beautiful in the eyes of the boy.
"What a gorgeous day," said the girl as she relaxed into the arms of the boy.
"Not as gorgeous as you," said the boy as he bent down to kiss her affectionately on the cheek.
"You're such a tease, Brandon," said the girl as she turned to face him.
"I'm serious, Stella," said the boy, Brandon, "you are the most beautiful girl in all of The Magical Dimension."
"I'll bet you say that to any pretty face that crosses your eye," said the girl, Stella, in a teasing manner.
"Well…" said Brandon, slightly flabbergasted, "well…what can I say? I'm popular among the ladies. But I only have eyes for you. You are the light of my world."
"Oh…that's so sweet," said Stella. With that she kissed him on the mouth, while he kissed back. They broke apart after a minute for some much needed air.
"I have a surprise for you," said Brandon, "don't move, I'll be right back." He then got up and walked to the bottom of the hill where a motorcycle waited. It was more like a hover-cycle since it used anti-gravity instead of wheels.
As Stella sat back and relaxed, waiting for Brandon to return with her surprised, she tensed slightly, as if sensing something. Then she relaxed again and smiled, "You never struck me as the voyeur type, Gabrielle."
From out of nowhere appeared a woman in her early twenties. She had long brown hair in a braid and dark brown, almost black eyes. She wore a green camouflage suit that made her blend in with the environment. In truth the suit was outfitted with the means to make its wearier nearly invisible in any environment, when properly used.
The woman, Gabrielle, bowed to one knee before Stella, "I'm just doing what your mother and father are trusting me to do, Princess Stella. You are the heir to the throne of Solaria; it is my honor and duty to protect your life."
"That's what Brandon is doing," said Stella as she motioned with her hand for Gabrielle to sit down, which she did. "and I can honestly say that my snookums is doing a great job."
"You mean he's going a great job making you happy," said Gabrielle, "which is a good point. My family has been protecting your family for generations, so we're almost like one big family together. Nothing would make me happier to see you with someone who can truly make you happy. But that's beside the point."
"Well what is?" Stella asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
"The point," said Gabrielle in a slightly reproachful tone, "is that your family has a lot of enemies. Your father, The King, his position has been somewhat upset by the divorce. I'm not saying anything against your parents, but with the way things are, your mother and father could have handled things a bit more quietly.
"There are a lot of noble houses who would love nothing more than to make you disappear and discredit your family, thereby setting themselves up as the next rulers of Solaria. You'd think, Princess Stella, after what happened to you and your friends at school, you'd be a bit wiser to be a little more cautious when your life is concerned."
"Gabrielle," said Stella in a slightly annoyed tone, as if this conversation had happened before, "I'm glad to have you, as my bodyguard and as a friend. But you should really lighten up a bit. I'm on holiday from school, and all the baddies who caused the trouble a few weeks back are locked up. And besides…" she indicated the sunlight landscape around them, "we're on my mom's estate. I made sure that nobody else knew that Brandon and I were coming."
"Did you now?" Gabrielle asked, both impressed at Stella's rare initiative, and shocked that said initiative left plenty of room for danger to creep up on her. "Only your mother and her household staff know that you're out here?"
"Well…" Stella said hesitantly, "I didn't exactly tell them where Brandon and I were going. I didn't know we'd end up here, it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I'm amazed you found us so quickly."
"Like I said," remarked Gabrielle, "It's my job to keep you safe. Did you at least bring your Mobile to call your mother in case of an emergency?"
"Oh, my phone is in the charger," said Stella sheepishly, but then her expression lightened again, "but Brandon has his, and I'm sure you've got your phone with you."
"I always have my Mobile with me," said Gabrielle. She then sighed, "honestly, Princess Stella, when are you going to start taking responsibility for yourself?"
"I am taking responsibility for myself!" said Stella, "I'm just doing it my own way. Now you tell me, Gabrielle; we're on my mother's private land. You're here, Brandon's gonna be back any second, and I'm not without my talents, so tell me, what can possibly go wrong?"
As if to answer Stella's question, twelve men wearing body armor and carrying a wide variety of weapons teleported onto the hill. They then positioned themselves around Stella and Gabrielle in a circle, cutting them off from escape
"You just had to ask," said a thoroughly annoyed Gabrielle as she and Stella shot to their feet. She then spoke to the intruders in an business-like tone, "Who are you!? What do you want?!"
"The girl," said one of the intruders, clearly the leader, "She's coming with us." He had jet-black hair and hazel eyes, his face creased with multiple scars.
"Over my dead body!" said Brandon as he approached them, an energy blade in his hands. The blade was shaped like a green broadsword. "Just hang on, Stella, I'll take care of these hoodlums in no time."
"Save some for me!" said Gabrielle as she took up a fighting stance, "Stella, stay behind me."
"I don't think any place around you is safe right now," said Stella, for indeed she and Gabrielle were surrounded.
"We don't have time for this!" exclaimed another of the intruders. He pulled out a stun blaster and shot at Stella. Gabrielle pushed Stella out of the way and got hit instead, causing her to collapse in an unconscious heap.
"Get the girl!!" shouted the lead intruder. Six of the would-be kidnappers closed in on Stella, while the other six faced Brandon, who proved himself to be a highly accomplished swordsman by fending off his opponents with ease.
But for every one of the intruders he knocked out of the way, another got in front of him, preventing Brandon from getting to Stella. Yet the golden-haired princess was far from helpless. She aimed one hand at one of the intruders and shot a beam of energy at him, said energy was as bright as the sun, blinding the intruder.
Stella managed to blind another intruder and was about to blast two more, when the lead intruder shot her with a stun blaster, knocking her unconscious.
"Stella!!" shouted Brandon as he fought harder against his opponents. But by now he was facing eight of the intruders, while one of the others was helping his blinded comrades up. The leader then grabbed hold of the disabled Stella and slung her over his shoulder.
But at that time Gabrielle was back on her feet and madder than a wet hen. "You let her go!!" she spat at the leader of the kidnappers.
"Ma'am, this isn't personal," said the leader, "I'm just doing what I have to do."
"You better not have hurt her!!" shouted Brandon as he knocked down one of his opponents, then another.
"I'm not the one who's going to hurt her," said the leader.
"Well you better let her go anyway," said Gabrielle as she glared daggers at the leader, "or there'll be no place in the universe you can hide from me."
"You're the least I need to worry about," said the leader, "and my men can agree with me. Boys, let's finish this so we can go."
Five of the intruders tackled Gabrielle, while the rest (the ones who had been blinded could see again by now) tackled Brandon. Both were stunned as they hit the ground.
"Not to shabby," said the leader as he checked his watch on his free hand, "but we could have attracted a lot of attention if this had been somewhere else. Fortunately, this girl is the last one they want, I hope. Alright, boys, let's go." With that he pressed a button on his watch, and the intruders teleported out with their ill-gotten prize.
Gabrielle and Brandon then recovered. The looked around in disbelief, "She's gone," said Gabrielle in a distant tone, "they took the princess."
"No," said Brandon in an anguished manner, like his heart was breaking as he spoke, "no!" he fell to his knees and shouted to the heavens, "STELLA!!!"
