A star in the sky

On Gallifrey, the Doctor had a daughter, what if this daughter escaped the Time War, what if she was trapped on the Dalek crucible. How would he react to her being alive? And how will it affect them with the Gate approaching? First in the Starlight Saga.

Hello! Since today is the day series 8 comes out (Woo!) Today is the day I finally upload my Doctor Who OC series.

This will follow the OC's POV and will essentially start from the 10th Doctor specials, with one episode from Series 4.

Each episode will be one chapter and will also include the SJA cross overs.

~.~ scene break.

"italics" Gallifreyan.

'italics' telepathic communication.

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor who, unfortunately :(

"The TARDIS is secured!" A Dalek shouted as said TARDIS landed on the crucible with a crash.

Stars head shot up from where she sat in her holding cell not the slightest bit afraid of being surrounded by Daleks. She watched with caution as the Daleks all gathered around, their eyepieces twitching as they watched.

"Doctor!" the Supreme Dalek shouted. "You will step forth or die!"

"More like he will step forwards and you will die." She muttered, bitterly.

Honestly, after everything she had done and been though with the Daleks, she know longer was bothered to be afraid of them, after all, they did look like giant pepper pots on wheels.

"Surrender, Doctor, and face your Dalek masters."

"Crucible on maximum alert." A Dalek called.

"Oh, so you're scared of him but not me." Star rolled her eyes, annoyed at that piece of information, even though she knew they were slightly afraid even if they didn't show it; they had locked her in a holding cell and destroyed her weapons bag and they called her the Predator, which made sense, Daleks were her prey during the war, she hunted them down, and it was very rare any of them to survive her.

"You are secure." A Dalek turned to her.

"Wanna bet."

The Doctor stepped out onto the crucible, followed by a blonde woman and a man.

"Dalek reign supreme!" the Supreme shouted. "All hail the Daleks!"

"Daleks reign supreme!" the other Daleks chanted. "All hail the Daleks! Daleks reign supreme! All hail the Daleks!"
"Daleks will never reign supreme!" Star yelled as she stood up.

The Doctors eyes widened as he finally noticed her. "Nova?" he breathed in Gallifreyan not daring to believe it, no she couldn't be here!

"Doctor?" she mimicked.

"Silence!" the supreme turned to him. "Behold, Doctor. Behold the might of the true Dalek race."

"Donna?" the Doctor merely called back over his shoulder. Not worried about the Daleks either, and of course there was currently nothing he could do for Star…yet. "It's no safer in there…"
The TARDIS doors slammed shut, causing the Doctor to dash over, Donna still inside.

"Doctor?" they heard Donna banging on the door. "What've you done?"

"It wasn't me." He shouted through the door. "I didn't do anything!"

"Oi! Oi, im not staying behind!"

"What did you do?" he rounded on the Supreme Dalek.
"Let her out!" Star yelled at the Supreme.

"This is not of Dalek origin." The Supreme stated.

"Doctor!" Donna continued to bang and yell.

"Stop it!" he turned to the Supreme angry, not only have they got his daughter captured but now they've locked Donna in the TARDIS. "She's my friend. Now, open the door and let her out!"
"This is Time Lord Treachery!" the Supreme said.

"Me?! The door just closed on its own!"
"Nevertheless: the TARDIS is a weapon and it will be destroyed."

The TARDIS fell through a trapdoor and into the crucibles core.

"You can't do that!" Star shouted. "That is it the last TARDIS!" she knew it was almost definite that no one else was able to escape to Time War; she knew what the Doctor did. She herself only just managed to escape, stuck in emergency temporal shift with Dalek Caan.

The Doctor stared down the trapdoor in horror. "What're you doing? Bring it back!" he started to panic. "What've you done?! Where's it going?"

"The Crucible has a heart of E-Neutrino Energy. The TARDIS will be deposited into the core."

"But you can't, you've taken the defences down." He raised his voice. "It'll be torn apart!"
"But Donna's still in there!" the blonde gasped, advancing on the Supreme.

"Let her go!" the man demanded.

"You can't do that!" Star shouted, growing angrier by the minute and in her anger proceeded to punch her cell causing it to ripple, she always had anger issues, and she knew she always would.

"The female and the TARDIS will perish together! Observe." A holographic screen appeared above them. They looked to see the TARDIS bobbing in the white energy in the core. "The last children of Gallifrey are powerless."
"I am NOT powerless!" Star shouted, her eyes flashing red for a second before anyone could see.

The Doctor watched the screen in horror. "Please." The Doctor pleaded. "Im begging you. I'll do anything!" he looked from the Dalek to the screen. "Put me in her place! You can do anything to me, I don't care, just get her out of there!"

Star stared at him, he was begging with a Dalek to die to save a human girl, who he most likely didn't know for even that long.

"You are connected to the TARDIS. Now, feel it die."

The Doctor looked at his daughter in the corner of his eye, looking at her in such sorrow that it broke her, for the first time in many years, she showed emotion other than anger, she felt sorry for him.

"Total TARDIS destruction in ten rels!" a Dalek announced. The blonde took the Doctors hand; Star saw and narrowed her eyes at the human. "Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"

The Doctor could only stare as the TARDIS faded away from the energy. Star, however, frowned, that looked more like it was dematerialising than being consumed by the energy.

"The TARDIS has been destroyed. Now, tell me, Doctor…what do you feel?" the Supreme asked him. The Doctor watched the screen a dark expression on his face "Anger? Sorrow? Despair."

"Yeah." He whispered.

"How about, loathing, rage, and utter disgust." Star countered, earning a small twitch from the Doctor but it faded quickly as he realised, she could have been talking about him, he'd left the planet without her, he broken his promise to her.

"Then, if emotions are so important, surely we have enhanced you." The Supreme continued.

"Yeah?" the man scoffed. "Feel this!" he turned and shot the Supreme, but the bullets bounced off ineffectually.

"Exterminate!" the Supreme fired at him and he screamed in pain and fell to the floor, apparently dead.

The girl knelt next to him. "Jack! Oh, my God. Oh, no..."

"Rose…" the Doctor whispered to her softly and pulled her back. "Come here, leave him."
"They killed him."

"That's what Daleks do." Star rolled her eyes at the human female. She shot a glare at her, no idea who she was but not liking her at all.

"I know." The Doctor whispered Rose, "Im sorry."

"Escort them to the Vault." the Supreme ordered as the Doctor pulled Rose to her feet. "They are the playthings of Davros, now. Take the Time Lady."

A Dalek cancelled Stars cell and led her, the Doctor and Rose from the room. The Doctor looked back at Jack, who winked at him.

'I saw that wink.'

He looked over at Star as she walked over and followed, he noticed she stood apart from them and wondered just where she was from, had she just come from the war? She did look like it, she was dirty and in the Gallifreyan soldier uniform but she would have still been in the Academy during the time, she's still just a child, not a soldier. They had been taken to safe camps, hadn't they?

"Active holding cells." Davros ordered. The holding cells appeared over the three of them in separate spotlights, each a few feet apart. Davros rolled over towards the Doctor. "Excellent. Even went powerless, Time Lords are best contained."

Star held a snort. It was so easy to escape a light-base holding cell, the only reason she hadn't yet was because she knew exactly what the Daleks were doing. They were so stupid they had actually talked in front of her. Of course they didn't know exactly what she could do but still. Daleks were stupid.

"Still scared of me, then?" the Doctor asked, empty. He touched the edge of the holding cell, causing it to ripple with blue light. Rose copied. Star rolled her eyes, the human properly had no idea what kind of cell she was in and was only copying the Doctor to look like she knew what she was doing.

"It is time we talked, Doctor, after so very long..."

"No, no, no, no, no." the Doctor cut him off. "We're not doing the nostalgia tour happening right here, right now, 'cos the Supreme Dalek said 'vault', yeah?" he looked around at the surroundings. "As in dungeon. Cellar. Prison. You're no in charge of the Daleks, are you? They've got you locked away down here in the basement, like what, a servant? Slave? Court jester?"

Star smirked. "You're their pet!"

"We have…an arrangement." Davros corrected.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." the Doctor laughed mockingly. "Star's right. You're their pet!"

"So very full of fire, is he not?" Davros rolled over to Rose. "And to think, you crossed entire universes, striding for parallel to parallel to find him again."

"Clingy." The Star muttered under her breath so no one heard.

"Leave her alone." The Doctor growled.

"She is mine." Davros smirked at the human. "To do as I please."

"Then why am I still alive?" Rose challenged.

"Its part of Dalek Caans prophesies." Star explained. "It's the only reason im alive." She shrugged, to be honest she didn't care if she was alive or dead, there was no point, death happened. Rose shot a glare at her, she didn't have a clue who she was but already really did not like her.

"You must be here." Davros added. "It was foretold. Even the Supreme Dalek would not dare to contradict the prophesies of Dalek Caan."

"Oh don't bring him out…" Star groaned. But he pressed a button on his control panel, a light shone down on Caan on his platform.

"So cold and dark." Caan half-sang. "Fire is coming…the endless flames…"

"What is that thing?" Rose muttered to the Doctor.

"You've met before." He replied. "The last of the Cult of Skaro. But it flew into the Time War unprotected."

"Caan did more than that." Davros chuckled. "He saw Time. Its infinite complexity and majesty raging through his mind. And…he saw it. Both of you." The Doctor and Rose glanced at each other.

"This I have foreseen in the wild and the wind." Caan giggled. "The Doctor will be here, as witness, at the end of everything. The Doctor and his precious Children of Time! And one of them will die…!"
"Like hell they will!" the Star shouted.

"Was it you, Caan?" the Doctor snapped at it, struggling to control his rage. "Did you kill Donna? Why did the TARDIS door close? Tell me!"

"Oh, that's it!" Davros smiled in delight. "The end, the fire, the rage of a Time Lord who butchered millions. There he is. Why so shy? Show your companion…show her your true self." The Doctor didn't answer, growing uneasy. "Dalek Caan has promised me that, too." He smirked at him. "The Time Lady is showing her true self." The looked over at the Star to see her narrowing her eyes, now a brilliant crimson, her fists clenched in anger. The Doctor could only close his eyes.

"What's wrong with her…?" Rose began but stopped as she glared at her.

"Is there an issue?" Star asked, narrowing her eyes before blinking, her eyes changing back into their hazel.

"I have seen it." Caan cried. "At the time of ending, the Doctor's soul will be revealed."

"What does that mean?" the Doctor frowned.

"We will discover it together…our final journey." Davros remarked. "Because the ending approaches. The testing begins." He turned away.

"Testing of what?"

"The reality bomb." Star stated. They had spoken of their plan directly in front of her, thinking that she would not have a way to stop them, but she was full of surprises.

"Behold…he apotheosis of my genius." Davros activated a holographic screen displaying the testing chamber.

"…two, one, zero." The heard the Supreme count down. "Activate planetary alignment field!"

Before their eyes the planets were bathed in a white glow.

"But that's Z-Neutrino Energy." The Doctor gaped. "Flattened by the alignment of the planets into a single stream. No." he turned to Davros, panicked. "Davros, Davros, you can't! You CAN'T! NO!"

"You have to stop!" Star yelled.

But it was too late; the same glow built up in the top of the chamber and down onto the people below, dissolving them into atoms until the light dissipates.

"Doctor." Rose swallowed. "What happened?"

"Electrical energy, Miss Tyler." Davros answered. "Every atom in existence is bound by an electrical field. The Reality Bomb cancels it out, structure falls apart. That test was focused on the prisoners alone. Full transmission will dissolve every form of matter."

"The stars are going out…" Rose breathed.

"The 27 planets." The Doctor realised. "They become one vast transmitter. Blasting that wavelength."

Davros nodded. "Across the entire universe. Never stopping. Never faltering. Never fading. People and planets and stars will become dust. And the dust will become atoms and the atoms will become nothing. And the wavelength will continue, breaking through the Rift at the heart of the Medusa Cascade into every dimension, every parallel, every single corner of creation. This is the ultimate victory, Doctor! The destruction of reality itself!"

They looked up at the screen as a dark skinned woman appeared. "This message is for the Dalek Crucible. Repeat: can you hear me?"

"Put me though!" the Doctor demanded.

"It begins as Dalek Caan foretold."

"She one of your companions?" Star whipped to face the Doctor, dreading what the woman was planning on doing.

"The Children of Time will gather…and one of them will die!" Caan laughed.

"Stop saying that!" the Doctor cried, exasperated. "Put me though!"
"Doctor!" the woman called, spotting him. "Im sorry. I had to."

"Oh!" Davros smiled. "But the Doctor is powerless, my prisoner. State your intent."

"I've got the Osterhagen Key." She held it up to show them. "Leave this planet and its people alone, or I'll use it."

"Osterhagen what?" the Doctor shook his head.

"What's an Osterhagen Key?" Star frowned.

"Who's that?" the woman furrowed her brow.

"Star. Time Lady."

"She's my daughter." The Doctor added.

"What?!" Rose screeched as the other woman's mouth dropped open.

Star merely narrowed her eyes. "Now, what the hell is an Osterhagen key!"

The woman swallowed before explaining, something Star did not like the look of. "There's a chain of 35 nuclear warheads placed in strategic points beneath the Earth's crust. It I use the key, they detonate and the Earth gets ripped apart.

"What?" The Doctor stared at her, horrified. "Who invented that?! Well, someone called Osterhagen, I suppose, but Martha, are you insane?"

"The Osterhagen Key is to be used it the suffering of the Human Race is so great, so without hope…that this becomes the final option." Martha continued.

"That's NEVER the option." The Doctor and Star shouted in unison.

"Don't argue with me, Doctor. 'Cos there's more than that. Now, I reckon the Daleks need these 27 planets for something, but what if it becomes 26? What happens then? Daleks? Would you risk it?"

"She's good!" Rose nodded impressed.

The Star whipped around to her. "She is talking about genocide! And you're cheering her on?!"

"I just meant…" Rose stuttered.

"Who's that?" Martha cranked her neck trying to see who the apparent Time Lady was shouting at.

"Im Rose. Rose Tyler."

"Oh, my God, he found you."

The Doctor and Rose exchanged a look as the Star looked at them confused as to how they found each other; obviously something happened to split the pair up.

Another holographic screen appeared before Martha, this one showing Jack holding a diamond connected to a bunch of wires. Behind him, a blonde woman similar to Rose, an older woman and a black man. "Captain Jack Harkness calling all Dalek boys and girls! Are you receiving me? Don't send in your goons or I'll set this thing off."

"He's still alive!" Rose gasped. "Oh, my god, that's…that's my mum!"

"And Mickey." The Doctor nodded. "Captain, what are you doing?

Jack held the diamond higher. "I've got a Warp Star wired into the mainframe. I break the shell…the entire Crucible goes up."

"What the hell?" Star turned too glared at the Doctor. "Is this what you do? Turn innocent humans into killers?"

"You can't! Where the hell did you get a Warp Star?!" the Doctor shouted a Jack, ignoring his daughter, slightly hurt.

"From me." The older woman stepped forwards. "We had no choice; we saw what happened to the prisoners."

"Oh, you humans." Star sighed. "There is always a choice…"

"Impossible." Davros interrupted noticing the woman. "That face…after all these years."

"Davros." She whispered in return. "That's been quite a while. Sarah Jane Smith. Remember?"

"Oh." Davros sounded far too pleased. "This is meant to be the cycle of time is closing. You were there on Skaro at the very beginning of my creation."

"And I've learned how to fight since then. You let the Doctor go or this Warp Star, it gets opened!"
The Doctor looked down, unable to look at any of them.

"I'll do it." Jack tweaked the necklace threateningly. "Don't imagine I wouldn't."

"Now, that's what I call a ransom." Rose laughed.

"Do you people hear yourself?" Star shouted at them in disgust. "That's murder! Do you really think your precious Doctor would want that?" She looked over at him to see him look at the floor in shame. She herself had just came from the front line of the Time War, she knew how bad she was when it came to murder, she killed without a second thought, but now…seeing these humans threatening to murder innocent life, it made her realise just how bad she was. "You are all WORSE than me!" And that was saying something, she had a serious darkness in her, she tried to keep it back, but this regeneration and the last, she was an insane soldier, literally. upon looking into the Untempered Schism, she went insane, she had this power inside her and he eyes could change red when she let it go.

"And the prophesy unfolds." Davros smirked.

"The Doctors soul is revealed!" Caan cackled. "See him! See the heart of him!"

The companions watched in silence as the Doctor looked down, buried with guilt.

"The man who abhors violence, never carrying a gun. But this is the truth, Doctor: you take ordinary people and you fashion THEM into weapons. Behold you Children of Time transformed into murders. I made the Daleks, Doctor. You made this. Even your own daughter, a soldier."

"There's trying to help." He breathed, quiet and ineffectually.

"Already, I have seen them sacrifice today for their beloved Doctor. The Earth woman who fell opening the Subwave network."

"Who was that?"

"Harriet Jones." Rose answered.

"Who's Harriet Jones?" Star asked quietly.

"Old Prime Minster." The Doctor stared at Rose, stunned. "She gave her life to get you're here."

"How many more?" Davros continued. "Just think. How many have died in your name?" Star closed her eyes as she saw in the Doctor mind as he remembered everyone who had died for him. "The Doctor…the man who keeps running, never looking back, because he dare not, out of shame. This is my final victory, Doctor. I have shown you…yourself."

'No.' Star called in his mind. 'Don't listen.'

'Nova…'

'Don't let the break you. Yes, many have died in your name but think of how many people who you have made better.'

'Im the reason you're a soldier' he countered.

'No, that was regeneration, not you. Don't let them win.'

"Enough." The Supreme Daleks voice boomed around them. "Engage defence 0-5."

Martha held the Osterhagen Key. "It's the Crucible…or the Earth."

"Transmat engaged!" A Dalek called. Suddenly Martha was surrounded by a white light; the Osterhagen Key fell to the floor. The transmat also surrounded Jack, Sarah Jane, Mickey and Rose's mother, Jackie, the Warp Star fell to the floor.

They all reappeared on the floor.

"Martha!" Jack helped her up. "I've got you, it's all right…"

"Nobody move!" Star ordered. "All off you! Stay still!" she was in no mood for them to argue and thankfully none of them did.

"Guard them!" Davros ordered. "On your knees, all of you. Surrender!"

"Do as he says." The Doctor told them, a lot less harsh than Star.

The Daleks glided around the humans, they obeyed and knelt down with the hands behind their heads.

"Mum, I told you not to!" Rose hissed to her mother.

"Yeah, but I couldn't leave you." She hissed back.

"The final prophesy is in place." Davros grinned. "The Doctor and his Children all gathered as witnesses. Supreme Dalek…the time has come! Now…" he shouted, pointing upwards. "Detonate the Reality Bomb!"

"Activate planetary alignment field!" the Supreme Dalek commanded. "Universal reality detonation in 200 rels!" the screen showed the planets starting to glow.

"You can't!" The Doctor cried desperately. "Davros! Just listen to me! Just STOP!"

Nothing! Can stop the detonation!" Davros roared with laughed. "Nothing! And no one!"

Suddenly to everyones surprise a familiar grinding noise sounded.

"But that's…" the Doctor frowned, completely thrown. Martha and Rose stared open-mouthed.

"Impossible." Davros muttered, as Caan giggled.

The TARDIS materialised. When a new Doctor step forth.

"Brilliant." Jack stared in awe.

Davros rolled back, afraid. The new Doctor ran towards him, a device in his hand.

"Don't!" the Doctor and Star cried.

Too late, Davros pointed at him and electrified him in the chest. He fell to the floor, slightly hurt. "Activate holding cell." A holding cell appeared around the new Doctor.

Donna ran out of the TARDIS. "Doctor!" she picked up the device. "I've got it! But I don't know what to do!" Davros sent her flying backwards with the same electricity.

"Donna!" the Doctor shouted. Davros grinned as she was sent flying to the controls.

Star glared at Davros, red eyed before she did something that no one expected. She disappeared and reappeared next to the ginger, smirking darkly, as she pulled the ginger behind the controls out of harms way.

Everyone stared in shock at what she just did.

"Destroy the weapon!" Davros ordered. A Dalek fired at it and it exploded. "I was wrong about you warriors, Doctor They are pathetic. Except for the abomination."

"Oi!" Star narrowed her crimson eyes at him. "Don't you dare call me an abomination!" she glared at him stepping out actually giving Davros a clear shot but before he could fire she pushed him further away, not bothering to care as everyone gaped at her. She smirked as he was shoved against the wall on the other side on the room.

Rose shook her head, as she and the humans assumed Star to be doing some weird Time Lord thing. "How come there's two of you?"

The Doctor blinked and closed his eyes. She just asked why there were two of them, not seeming to care if Donna was alive, unlike Star, the girl didn't know who any of these people were, had obviously just come from the war and still made sure that she was okay. "Human biological metacrisis. Star!" he looked to see her back at the controls.

Davros chuckled as the Time Lady and unconscious human were surrounded by Daleks.

"Stand witness Time Lords, stand witness humans." He activated the screen displaying the 27 planets. "Your strategies have failed, your weapons are useless, and…oh, the end of the universe has come."

Star smirked, Daleks really were stupid, they had no idea how powerful she was. She threw her hands out and shoved the Daleks away from them.

While everyone watched the screen as the Supreme Dalek counted down. The Doctor gazed over at Star sadly; she was who she was because of him. "Nine…eight…seven…six…" Star smirked as she helped Donna up and to the controls. "Five…four…three…two...one…"

The bomb powered down, the screen went dead. An alarm sounded. Everyone besides Donna and Star looked around is confusion.

"Ohh…" Donna started, her voice full of confidence. "Closing all Z-Neutrino relay loops using an internalised synchronus back-feed reversal loop!" she flicked a switch. "That one there."

The Doctor gave a small chuckle. "Donna, you can't even change a plug!"

"You want bet, Time Boy?" she challenged, grinning.

"You will suffer for this." Davros stated.

Star flicked another switch, electrocuting Davros' arm. He shrieked in pain. "Im a monster, you should have seen that coming."
"Bioelectric dampening field with a retrogressive arc inversion." Donna explained.

"Exterminate them!" Davros ordered, furious.

"Exterminate!" a Dalek shouted. "Exterminate!"

Donna raised an eyebrow and pressed a few buttons and flicked some switches but she was slightly too late. While the Daleks powered down one had managed to fire.

"Star!" the Doctor yelled, trying to warn her.

She turned just as she was hit. She gasped as she stumbled slightly, before shaking it off, no, she would not show a weakness. She hurried back to the controls like normal with a few gasps of pain.

The Daleks twitched uncontrollably. "Weapons not-functional!"
"What?" Donna tilted her head, mockingly. "Macrotransmission of a K-filter wavelength blocking Dalek weaponry in a self-replicating energy blindfold matrix?

"How did you work that out?" the Doctor asked, before shaking his head, no now wasn't the time. "Donna let us out!" he demanded, needing to get to his daughter.

"Time Lord. Part Time Lord." The new Doctor realised.

"Part Human!" Donna grinned, loving it. "Oh, yes! That was a two-way biological metacrisis. "Half Doctor... half Donna!"

"The Doctor-Donna... just like the Ood said, remember? They saw it coming! The Doctor-Donna. Now let us out!"

Star flicked some switches. "Holding cells deactivated." The cells deactivated. The Doctor rushed over to her as she fell to the floor, panting for breath.

"Star." He breathed and he held her. "Come on, regenerate. You can do it. Just regenerate, yeah? We've only just found each other again. I won't lose you, not now."

"Shut up!" She snapped at him, pushing him away, preparing herself to regenerate. "This is your entire fault in the first place!" he blinked at her, very hurt by her words, they were all true.

She threw her hands out and her head back as the orange regeneration energy took over, she screamed as she changed, her hair turned blonde and lengthened, she grew slightly. As the energy faded she stumbled forwards, and into the Doctor.

"Hello." He whispered.

Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at them, he noticed they were grey. "Hi," she moved back to help the ginger.

"Seal the Vault." Donna called. "Well, don't just stand there, you skinny boys in suits, get to work! You too Blondie." She nodded to the Star.

She blinked "im blonde?" she really should check what she looked like but no time right now.

"Stop them!" Davros ordered, having rolled closer while everyone watched Star regenerate. "Get them away from the controls!" the Doctors rushed over to the controls.

Donna flicked a switched muttering, "And…spin." All the Daleks started to spin in circles. The Daleks cried out for help, causing them all to laugh. "And…the other way." She hit a switched causing the top half of the Daleks to spin in the other direction.

"What did you do?" the new Doctor asked.

"Trip-stitch circuit-breaker in the psycho-kinetic threshold manipulator."

"But that's brilliant!" the new Doctor beamed.

"That's genius!" Star corrected. "I see why he likes you."

"Why did we never think of that?" the Doctor turned to the new him.

"Because you two... were just Time Lords! You dumbos. Lacking that little bit of Human, that gut instinct that goes hand-in-hand with planet Earth. I could think of ideas that you two couldn't dream of in a million years! Ah, the universe has been waiting for me! Now... let's send that trip-stitch all over the ship. Did I ever tell you…" she gestured to herself. "Best temp in Chiswick?" she wiggled her fingers in typing motions. "100 words per minute."

"Ha!" the new Doctor laughed.

The Time Lords got to work as the Daleks continued to cry for help.

"Come on then, we've got 27 planets to send home." Donna continued.

"I've actived the magnetron." Star informed them.

"Stop it at once!" Davros called out.

Jack ran inside the TARDIS and appeared moments later with two guns. "Mickey!" he threw one to the man who caught it.

"You will desist!"

Mickey pointed his gun at Davros face. "Just stay where you are, Mr."

"Out of the way!" Jack laughed kicking a Dalek, sending it spinning down a corridor.

They heard Sarah Jane and Rose greeting each other, taking care of some more Daleks.

"Ready?" Donna asked the Time Lords. "And reverse!" she and the Doctors eased out two rods each as Star typed in the commands.

"Off you go, Clom." The Doctor smiled.

"Back home, Adipose three." The new Doctor added.

Donna flicked two switched and one with her foot. "Shallacatop!"

"Pyrovillia!" Star nodded.

"Lost Moon of Poosh. Topping. Ha!"

"Ha!" the new Doctor mimicked.

"We need more power…" the Doctor muttered.

"Is anyone gonna tell us what's going on?" Rose asked, as she and the other wondered over.

Donna gestured to the Doctor. "He poured all his regeneration energy into his spare hand; I touched the hand…" she gestured to the new Doctor. "He grew out of that, but that fed back into me. But, it just stayed dormant in my head 'til the synapses got that little extra spark, kicking them into life. Thank you, Davros! Part Human... part Time Lord. And I got the best bit of the Doctor." The new Doctor raised his eyebrows at her. "I got his mind."

"So there's THREE of you?" Sarah Jane frowned.

"Three Doctors?" Rose confirmed. "And one Time Lady?"

"I can't tell you what I'm thinking right now." Jack remarked.

"And I though one Doctor was too many." Star grimaced.

"Oi!" the Doctor laughed, she gave him a small playful smirk. He sobered quickly and looked at Donna. "You're so unique that the timelines were converging on you. Human Being with a Time Lord brain."

"But you promised me, Dalek Caan. Why did you not forsee this?" they turned hearing Davros.

"But he did." Star commented. "Something's been manipulating the timeline. Getting us all here for the right time, especially Donna."

"This would always have happened. I only helped, Star." Caan giggled.

"Like how you just happened to be near me in Arcadia. Knowing I'd go after you, just before you emergency temporal shifted away. Taking me with you."

"You..." Davros gaped. "Betrayed the Daleks?"

"I SAW the Daleks. What we have done throughout time and space. I saw the truth of us, Creator, and I decreed 'No more.'"

Star glanced at the Doctor, who tensed slightly at the words.

"I will descend in the vault!" the Supreme Dalek shouted.

"Heads up!" Jack remarked as the Supreme descended.

"Davros, you have betrayed us."

"It was Dalek Caan." Davros blamed.

"The vault will be purged! You will all be exterminated!" he shot towards the central column causing sparks to fly.

"Like I was saying." Jack continued. "Feel this!" he blasted the Supreme Dalek in half.

"Oh, we've lost the magnetron!" the Doctor exclaimed as he examined the column. "And there's only one planet left oh." He laughed. "Guess which one."

"We can use the TARDIS, cant we?" Star asked.

"Yes he can." He grinned at her before running into the TARDIS.

"Holding Earth stability…" the new Doctor mumbled as he flicked some switches. "Maintaining atmospheric shell."

"The prophesy mist complete." Caan called over.

"Don't listen to him." Davros sounded as though his was begging.

"I have seen the end of everything Dalek, and you must make it happen, Doctor."

"He's right." The new Doctor looked up. "Because with our without a Reality Bomb, this Dalek Empire's big enough to slaughter the cosmos. They've got to be stopped!"

"That's genocide!" Star glared at him.

"Just…just wait for the Doctor." Donna tried.

He looked up at Donna, ignoring Stars' comment. "I am the Doctor." He went back to work. "Maximising Dalekanium power feeds. Blasting them BACK!" one by one, the Doctor explode, screaming.

"Doctor…!" Star shouted into the TARDIS, she trailed off as she saw the inside of the TARDIS, a Type 40, and she was beautiful, such a beauty.

"What?" the Doctor ran over, eyes wide. They ran back out. "What have you done?"

"Fulfilling the prophesy." The new Doctor replied, solemn.

"Do you know what you've done? Now, get in the TARDIS!" the new Doctor went inside. "Everyone! All of you inside run! In, in, in, in, in!"

The new Doctor stood at the door ushering them all in.

"Star, in." she stood in the door way, not taking her eyes off him, just to ensure he wouldn't stay behind for some stupid reason. "Davros?" He held out his hand. "Come with me! I promise I can safe you!"
"Never forget, Doctor." Davros shouted through the flames. "YOU did this, I name YOU, forever, YOU are the Destroyer of Worlds!" he screamed as the flames engulfed him.

"One will still die." Caan giggled.

"Doctor…" Star called to him and he ran back inside, she slammed the door behind her, into the crowded console room, she stiffened at how crowded it was and then she realised that this regeneration didn't like crowds of people or getting too close to them.

"And! Off we go!" the Doctor grinned as he pulled a lever. The TARDIS shuddered and they were all knocked around, hanging to the console for support, except for Star who hung back at the railing.

"But what about the Earth?" Sarah Jane shook her head. "It's stuck in the wrong part of space!"

"We're on it." he looked over at Star. "Are we?" he had to check; she'd been stuck on the planet for all her life, has most likely never been in a TARDIS before and didn't know any of these humans.

"I'll help were I can." She gave a small nod.

He grinned at her as he turned the monitor on. "Torchwood Hub, this is the Doctor. Are you receiving me?"

"Loud and clear." a welsh woman answered as she and a man appeared. "Is Jack there?"

He glanced at Jack. "Can't get rid of him. What was her name?"

"Gwen Cooper." He told him.

"Tell me, Gwen Cooper; are you from an old Cardiff family?"

"Yes." She frowned, confused as to why that was important. "All the way back to the 1800's."

"Mm, thought so!" he nodded, gesturing Rose over. "Spatial genetic multiplicity…"

"Oh, Yeah!" Rose grinned.

"Yeah, yeah! It's a funny old world!"

Star rolled her eyes at him and took charge. "Torchwood, we want you to open up that Rift Manipulator, send all the power to us."

"How do you know of the Rift Manipulator?" the man asked.

"Time Lady."

The two on screen nodded. "Doing it now, ma'am."

"Star." she corrected. "It's Star. not the Star like the Doctor. Just Star.

"What's that for?" Martha asked.

"It's a tow-rope."

"Now, then, Sarah." The Doctor turned to the woman. "What was your son's name?"

"Luke." She called, coming over. "He's called Luke. And the computers called Mr Smith."

"Calling Luke and Mr Smith!" he grinned as the boy jumped up and walked closer to the computer. "Come on, Luke, shake a leg!"

"Is mum there?" was the first thing he asked. Something Star found very sweet.

"Oh, she's fine and dandy."

"Yes!" Sarah Jane laughed in relief. "Yes!"

"Now, Mr Smith, I want you to harness the Rift power and loop it round the TARDIS, you got that?"

"I regret I will need remote access to TARDIS base code numerals." Mr Smith stated.

"That'll take a while." Star sighed.

Sarah Jane darted round to the screen. "No, no, no. let me! K9, out you come!"
"Affirmative, Mistress!" a small, metallic dog appeared in the attic.

"Awww." Star cooed at the dog

"Oh, good dog." The Doctor cheered. "K9 give Mr Smith the base code."
"Master." K9 nodded his head slightly and rolled over to Mr Smith.

"TARDIS base code now being transferred. The process is simple."

"Think they can handle it?" he slipped into Gallifreyan and turned to Star.

"How should I know?" she shrugged. "Can't be worse than you." She smirked as he pouted.

"Now you lot." He spun to face them all. "Sarah, hold that." He directed her back to where she stood before. "And Mickey." He patted the mans shoulder. "You hold that. Because, you know why this TARDIS is always rattling about the place? Rose, that, there." He indicated to a knob. "It was designed to have six pilots and I have to do it single handed. But not anymore." He winked at Star.

"Martha, yeah?" She pointed at her as she nodded. "Keep that level."

"Jack, there you go, steady that. Now we can fly this thing…" he spotted Jackie and hesitated.

Star rolled her eyes, she could tell she would be doing that a lot in this regeneration, and walked over. "Why don't you take a seat?" she smiled sweetly at the woman who gladly sat down.

"Like it's meant to be flown! We've got the Torchwood Rift looped around the TARDIS by Mr Smith. We're gonna fly planet Earth back home." He took his place at the console. "Right, then! Off we go." His hand hovered over a lever. "Star. Do the honours!" he grinned at her. She laughed and dashed over, pulling the lever.

The matacrisis Doctor and Donna wondered around the console keeping an eye on everyone as Star hung back a small, slightly sad smile on her face. All these people knew each other, whereas she only knew the Doctor, and she didn't make a great first impression, so she though it best to hang back.

The room barely shook as the TARDIS was flown how she was meant to. Everyone cheered and clapped as the Earth was put back where it belonged.

The Doctor walked around the console, congratulating his companions before he made his way over to Star and grinned, pulling her into a massive hug, she tensed and pulled away, muttering that she didn't do hugs, she turned away from him as Rose came over a hugged him.

~.~

The TARDIS materialised at a park, church bells ringing in the distance.

The Doctor stepped out with Sarah Jane Smith, Star following, not wanting to be left in the crowded room.

"You know you act like such a lonely man," Sarah Jane remarked, "but look at you! You've got the biggest family in the universe. And you've got your daughter." She smiled before she suddenly stiffened, "gotta go!" she began backing up, "He's only 14! And thank you!" she waved as she ran off.

"I TOLD you, no teleport." The Doctor said to Jack as he soniced the man Vortex Manipulator. "And Martha, get rid of that Osterhagen thing, eh? Save the world one more time."

"Consider it done." Martha smiled and nodded. The humans saluted the Doctor who saluted back. They nodded at Star and then they turned and walked off.

At that moment Mickey emerged. "Oi!" the Doctor called to him "Where are you going?"

"Well, I'm not stupid." Mickey laughed. "I can work out what happens next. And hey, I had a good time in that parallel world but my gran passed away. Nice and peaceful. Spent her last years living in a mansion. There's nothing there for me, now. Certainly not Rose."

"What will you do?"

"Anything! Brand new life. Just you watch." They fist bumped. "See you, boss. Nice meeting you Star." he winked at her.

"And you," she winked back.

He laughed and ran to catch up with Jack and Martha. "Hey, you two!"

The Doctor wrapped an arm around Star.

However, she gently moved his arm of her, "please don't do that."

He dropped his arm sadly but nodded anyway as they headed back inside. "There's time for one last trip. Dårlig Ulv Stranden."

"Um, I'm just going to find the wardrobe and find something better to wear." Star gestured to her uniform. He nodded as Donna showed her the way.

~.~

They came back not much later, very quick in the Doctors opinion. She now had her hair in a French braid, a few piece of hair sticking up as they weren't long enough to fit the braid, a lilac bat-wing sleeved shirt, a pair of light blue bell bottom jeans, and a pair of white lace footless sandals. She soon found out that she hated shoes, much to Donna's dismay.

"There's time for one last trip. Dårlig Ulv Stranden." He pulled a lever. "Better known as..."

~.~

The TARDIS materialised on a sandy beach. Jackie exited first, followed by the new Doctor, and Rose, who looked around, finding the place familiar.

"Ugh, fat lot of good this is!" Jackie remarked in disgust. "Back of beyond, bloody Norway! I'm gonna have to phone your father. He's on the nursery run." She turned to the new Doctor. "I was pregnant, do you remember? Had a baby boy!"

"Ah, brilliant!" he grinned. "What did you call him?"

"Doctor."

"…really?"

"No, you plum." She laughed at him. "He's called Tony!"

"Hold on." Rose turned to the Doctor. "This is the parallel universe, right?"

"You're back home." He nodded.

"And the walls of the world are closing again... now that the Reality Bomb never happened." Donna added. "It's dimension retroclosure." She looked at the new Doctor and smiled. "See, I really get that stuff now."

"No, but I spent all that time trying to find you, I'm not going back now!" Rose cried, close to tears.

The Doctor stepped forwards. "But you've got to. Because we saved the universe, but at a cost. And the cost is him." He nodded to the other him. "He destroyed the Daleks. He committed genocide. He's too dangerous to be left on his own."

"You made me!" the new Doctor defended.

"Exactly, you were born in battle, full of blood and anger and revenge. Remind you of someone?" he asked her. "That's me. When we first met. And you made me better. And now you can do the same for him."

"Is it because of her?!" Rose glared at Star as she stood next to the Doctor.

She blinked in surprise. "What did I do?"

"It is isn't it? When I first came back, you were so happy, but the she arrived and now you don't want me."

"Don't you dare blame her!" the Doctor narrowed his eyes at her causing Rose to flinch.

"No, it's alright." Star stepped forwards, "Why do you think I did anything?"

"You appeared and then he went to hate me, if you were never here then he wouldn't send me back."

"So, you're saying that it's my fault that he's taking you back to where you belong?!" She started to raise her voice. "Because you belong here now, you live in this universe, no ours. Even if I wasn't here you would still have to come back here." Rose just continued to glare at her. "So DON'T blame me!" she flashed her eyes at her, causing her to step back in shock and fear as Star turned back muttering about anger issues. The Doctor tried to wrap an arm around her but she shouldered it off and stepped further apart. Always with a temper and now it seemed she didn't like people touching her. Great.

"But don't you see what he's trying to give you?" Donna cut in, stopping the argument. "Tell her, go on." She nodded to the new Doctor.

Rose turned to him as he looked at her. "I look like him and I think like him... same memories, same thoughts, same everything. Except, I've only got one heart."

"Which means?"

"I'm part Human. Specifically the aging part. I'll grow old and never regenerate. I've only got one life... Rose Tyler. I could spend it with you. If you want."

"You'll grow…grow old at the same time as me?"

"Together." He nodded.

Rose placed a hand on his chest listening to his single heartbeat. The TARDIS started to grind.

"We've gotta go." Star said quietly. "This reality's sealing itself off."

The Doctor, Star and Donna turned and headed into the TARDIS.

"Last time I stood on this beach." Rose called after them. "On the worst day of my life. "What was the last thing you said to me?" he looked at the Doctor.

"I said 'Rose Tyler'" he shrugged thinking nothing off it.

"Yeah and how was that sentence going to end?"

"It doesn't need saying."

"And you, Doctor?" she turned to the new Doctor. "What was the end of that sentence?"

He whispered something into her ear and she immediately pulled him into a deep kiss.

They hurried into the TARDIS and dematerialised.

~.~

Donna adjusted the monitor. "I thought we could try the planet Felspoon... just 'cos. What a good name, 'Felspoon'. Apparently it's got mountains that sway in the breeze. Mountains that move. Can you imagine?" she twisted some knobs for no reason.

"And how do you know that?" the Doctor asked quietly.

"Because it's in your head! And if it's in your head, it's in mine."

"How does that feel?"

"Brilliant! Fantastic! Molto bene! Great bit of universe packed into my brain. You know you could fix that chameleon circuit if you just try and hotbind in the fragment links and superseding the binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary, binary…" she took a deep breath. "Im fine! Nah, never-mind Felspoon. You know who I'd like to meet? Charlie Chaplin. I've heard he's great, Charlie Chaplin. Shall we do that? Shall we go and see Charlie Chaplin?" she picked up the phone. "Shall we? Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chester, Charlie Brown. No, he's fiction, friction, fiction, fixen, mixen, rixten, Brixton…" she gasped and doubled over in pain. "Oh, my God." She held her head in pain.

"Do you know what's happening?"

She swallowed not wanting to admit it. "Yeah."
"There's never been a Human-Time Lord metacrisis before now. And you know why."

"Because there can't be." She looked down at the console, pretending to be busy. "I want to stay."
"Look at me." She didn't look. "Donna, look at me."

She finally looked at him. "I was gonna be with you... forever."

"I know." He whispered to her gently.

"The rest of my life... travelling... in the TARDIS. The Doctor-Donna." After a moment it dawned on her. "Oh my God." She backed away, tears in her eyes. "I can't go back. Don't make me go back. Doctor... please. Please, don't make me go back."

"Donna. Oh, Donna Noble. I am so, so sorry." He looked directly into her eyes, as she trembled. "But we had the best of times. The best." Tears fell down her cheeks. "Goodbye."

"No. No, please! Please! No, NO! No!" Donna cried growing frantic as he placed her fingertips on the woman temples she slumped forwards as she fell unconscious, the Doctor keeping her up.

Star piloted them to Donnas house as the Doctor told her where it was.

~.~

He hammered on the door, crouching down, with Donna in his arms, crying for his friend, Star crouched next to him, offering as much comfort as she could.

An old man opened the door. "Help me." He looked up at the man, urgently.

"Donna?" he bent down to his granddaughter. "Donna?"

They laid her down on her bed as she slept peacefully.

"She took my mind into her own head." The Doctor explained to Donna's mother and grandfather, he'd told them who the Star was of course. "But that's a Time Lord consciousness." He sat on the sofa, Stars head on his shoulder, Donna's mother, Sylvia and grandfather, Wilf on the other sofa. "All that knowledge, it was killing her."

"But she'll get better, now?" Wilf asked, hopeful.

"We had wipe her mind." The Star stated. "Every trace of the TARDIS, of everything she saw, everywhere she went, gone."

"All those wonderful things she did."

"I know. But that version of Donna is dead." The Doctor leaned forwards, needing them to understand how serious the situation was. "Because if she remembers, just for a second, she'll burn up. You can never tell her." There was a rumble of thunder outside. "You can't mention me, or any of it... for the rest of her life."

"But the whole world's talking about it." Sylvia exclaimed. "We travelled across space!"

"It'll just be a story. One of those Donna Noble stories, where she missed it all again."

"But she was better with you!" Wilf cried, clearly upset.

"Don't say that…" Sylvia shook her head.

"No, she was!"
"I just want you to know that there are worlds out there, safe in the sky, because of her." The Doctor told them, softly. "That there are people living in the light, singing songs of Donna Noble, a thousand million light-years away... they will never forget her. While she can never remember. And for one moment... one shining moment... she was the most important woman in the whole wide universe."

"She still is." Sylvia answered shortly. "She's my daughter."

"Make sure she knows that." The Star glared at the woman.

They hard footsteps coming down the stairs and a moment later Donna barged in, "I was asleep, ON my bed, IN my clothes, like a flippin' kid! What did you let me do that for?!" she casted a quick glanced at the Doctor and Star. "Don't mind me. Donna."

They stood up. "John Smith." He shook her hand.

"Nicola Smith." Star added, the first name that came to her head.

"They were just leaving." Sylvia casted a harsh glance at them.

"My phone's gone mad!" Donna laughed, not noticing the tension. "32 texts, Veena's gone barmy, she's saying planets in the sky, WHAT have I missed now?" she headed back out the room with a small, "nice to meet you." Over her shoulder.

"Like I said: I think you should go." Sylvia repeated, coldly.

"Let us say goodbye first." Star shot back.

They headed to the kitchen where Donna was on the phone, "How thick do you think I am? Planets?! I'll tell you what that was, dumbo, that's those two-for-one lagers you get down the offy 'cos you fancy that little man in there with the goatee. Haha! Yes, you do! I've SEEN ya!"
"Donna?" the Doctor called as they appeared at the doorway. "We were just going."

"Yeah, see ya." She said back, not really bothered.

The Time Lords headed out the front door, realising that that was all the goodbye they would get.

"You'll have quite a bit of this." Star told Wilf as he followed them to the door, he stopped at the doorway as the Time Lords stepped out into the storm. "Atmospheric disturbance. Still, it'll pass."

"Everything does." The Doctor muttered to himself. "By then, Wilfred."

"Nice meeting you." Star added.

"Oh, Doctor, Star." they turned back to him. "What about you, now? Who've you got? I mean, all those friends of yours...?"

"They've all got someone else." He shrugged him off. "Still, that's fine. I'm fine, we're fine, we have each other." Star gave him a small comforting smile.

"I'll watch out for you."

"You can't ever tell her." She stressed.

"No, no, no. But every night... when it gets dark... and the stars come out... I'll look up. On her behalf. I'll look up at the sky and think of you."

"Thank you." The Doctor whispered, as he and the Star walked back to the TARDIS.

~.~

They dematerialised into the vortex in silence.

"We need to talk," Star broke the uncomfortable silence that surrounded them.

"Yeah." He agreed, knowing exactly what about, which was why his voice came out so quietly like a whisper.

"But…I want the truth."

"Promise." He crossed his hearts.

~.~

The father and daughter sat opposite each other in large armchairs in front of the fire in the overly large library, both holding long-ago-cold mugs.

The Doctor watched her intently as she lifted the cold mug to her lip, she had completely forgotten she had had it while he had been speaking so the mug was half full of cold tea, she spat it back into the mug as she realised how cold it was.

He told how why he left the planet in the first place, he'd had an argument with the Master and it just…he just wanted to get away. And he'd left her on the planet because he wanted her safe, he swore he was going to come back for her graduation and then they'd together. But then of course the war came so that plan went out the window.

He'd also told her about what he had done during the war. Time-locking the planet. He was thankful that she understood why he had to do it. She'd agreed with him that it was the only option, for the universe.

"Ok." She nodded. What else was there to say really?

"And…you?" he asked carefully, knowing that she would know exactly what he was trying to say.

"Im insane," she brought her knees up to her chest, "So go on then, throw me into a black hole or something."

"Why would I do that?" he frowned, utterly confused by why she would say that, "I just got you back, you're not going anywhere."

Her eyes lit up as she looked at him, "Really? You're not angry?"

He shrugged, "Can't be helped. But…do try to keep control."

"Don't worry. I will." It not like she wanted to be insane, seeing those people at the Academy get taken away, never to be spoken off again. She kept to herself to herself, eventually shut herself away from family and friends. Drowning in her own sorrows and pain, hating herself, she knew it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Time Lords kept their eyes on those who began to act differently, that was how they knew if someone was insane but they hadn't noticed anything. Except Rassilon, during the war, he had forced everyone who was still in the academy to regenerate, hoping that doing that and teaching them how to fight would give him soldier who would help him win, he forced her to fight harder than anyone else, knowing that she was insane and he was pushing her darkness out, using her as a weapon against the Daleks.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, next one will be...soon.

I pictured the old Star in her third regeneration to look like Maisie Williams and the forth t looked like Chloe Grace Moretz, cover will be uploaded next chapter.

Please review :)
