Prolog (The Parting of ways)

Disclaimer I don't own Doctor Who THIS IS JUST A WHAT IF STORY. Please Read and Review. Enjoy.

At the Powell Estate once again, Jackie watches as Rose and Mickey use a chain to try and pull the Tardis console open. Rose who is trying to get back to save her Doctor. Rose is inside the Tardis while her mum is outside directing Mickey who is in a big yellow truck with one end of the chain attached to the back of the truck.

Rose "Keep going!"

Jackie "Put your foot down!"

Rose "Faster!"

Jackie "Give it some more, Mickey!"

Rose "Keep going!" The console starts to buckle under the pressure.

Jackie "Come on, come on!"

Rose "Keep going!"

Jackie "Give it some more!" The console burst open. Rose looks inside and golden energy streams into her eyes. Rose thinks Take me back to the Doctor

Mickey yells "Rose!" as he gets out of the truck and with Jackie they both walk towards the Tardis but the Tardis doors slam shut on him, and the Tardis dematerializes.

Inside the Tardis Rose is still looking into the golden light and she can hear a voice inside her head. Why child, did you open and look into my heart, you must know it will kill you.

Rose replies Tardis is that you

Yes the voice says but you still haven't answered my question.

Rose Because I love the Doctor and want him safe even if it kills me. Thinking to herself, but I was hoping to be with him forever.

The Tardis says to Rose I could help you with that while you have the vortex in your mind, my child, but you would be giving up your normal human life for that of a time lords.

Rose Could you make me a time lord, that would be great, I would be able to be with my Doctor and he would no longer be alone any more.

The Tardis I will make you into a time lord yes, my child, the time of the Bad Wolf approaches.

Meanwhile back on Floor 500 of the game station

Jack "Doctor, you've got twenty seconds maximum!" The Tardis hurtles through time, all the time sending energy into Rose. Jack runs out of bullets. He throws away the machine gun and takes out a pistol. Then that too is empty.

Dalek "Exterminate."

Jack "I kind of figured that." The blast throws Jack back into the lift.

Doctor "It's ready!" The Daleks enter from all sides. "You really want to think about this, because if I activate the signal, every living creature dies."

EMPEROR who appears on the viewscreen "I am immortal."

Doctor "Do you want to put that to the test?"

EMPEROR "I want to see you become like me. Hail the Doctor, the Great Exterminator."

Doctor "I'll do it!"

EMPEROR "Then prove yourself, Doctor. What are you, coward or killer?"

But he cannot throw the final switch. Doctor proclaims "Coward. Any day."

EMPEROR "Mankind will be harvested because of your weakness."

Doctor "And what about me? Am I becoming one of your angels?"

EMPEROR "You are the heathen. You will be exterminated."

Doctor "Maybe it's time." The Doctor closes his eyes, and the Tardis materialises behind him. The Doctor looks surprised and a little angry.

Dalek "Alert! Tardis materialising!"

EMPEROR "You will not escape!" The Tardis doors open. Rose is silhouetted in a blinding golden light. Energy tendrils snake outwards. She exits she seems to be moving too fast to see till she is standing still a few feet away from the Tardis.

Doctor "What've you done?"

Rose "I looked into the Tardis, and the Tardis looked into me."

Doctor "You looked into the Time Vortex. Rose, no one's meant to see that."

EMPEROR "This is the Abomination!"

Dalek "Exterminate!" Rose stops the beam that is shot at her with her hand.

Rose "I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words, I scatter them in time and space. A message to lead myself here."

Doctor "Rose, you've got to stop this. You've got to stop this now. You've got the entire vortex running through your head. You're going to burn."

Rose "I want you safe. My Doctor. Protected from the false god."

EMPEROR "You cannot hurt me. I am immortal."

Rose "You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space. Every single atom of your existence, and I divide them." A Dalek disintegrates gently. "Everything must come to dust. All things. Everything dies. The Time War ends." The Daleks crumble.

EMPEROR "I will not die. I cannot die!" The spaceship than disappears in a golden wave.

Doctor "Rose, you've done it. Now stop. Just let go."

Rose "How can I let go of this? I bring life." She brings Jack back to the land of the living.

Doctor "But this is wrong! You can't control life and death."

Rose "But I can. The sun and the moon, the day and night. But why do they hurt?"

Doctor "The power's going to kill you and it's my fault."

Rose "I can see everything. All that is, all that was, all that ever could be."

Doctor "That's what I see. All the time. And doesn't it drive you mad?"

Rose "My head."

Doctor "Come here." He realizes that he needs to get the vortex out of her and it will most likely kill him so this will his last chance to kiss his Rose so he plans on taking it.

Rose "It's killing me"

Doctor "I think you need a Doctor." The Doctor kisses Rose. The golden energy transfers from her eyes to his, then she faints in his arms. The Doctor exhales the energy back into the Tardis and its doors close.
Jack picks up a handful of Dalek dust from the floor, then runs when he hears the Tardis engines. He's too late. It dematerializes, leaving him stranded.

On the Tardis Rose wake up lying on the floor. "What happened?" She has no memory of the last hour.

Doctor was over by the console "Don't you remember?"

Rose "It's like there was this singing." Rose still fills a little wozzy. Her head has started throbbing and a pain in beginning in her chest. Both her and the Doctor are too preoccupied to notice that for a second that Rose's hands and her head were licked by golden energy.

Doctor "That's right. I sang a song and the Daleks ran away."

Rose "I was at home. No, I wasn't, I was in the Tardis, and there was this light. I can't remember anything else" She doesn't even remember her conversation with the Doctor's skin is darkening.

Doctor "Rose Tyler. I was going take you to so many places. Barcelona. Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'd love it. Fantastic place. They've got dogs with no noses. Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke, and it's still funny."

Rose "Then, why can't we go?"

Doctor "Maybe you will, and maybe I will. But not like this." He starts to try and explain everything to her before he regenerates.

Rose confused "You're not making sense."

Doctor "I might never make sense again. I might have two heads, or no head. Imagine me with no head. And don't say that's an improvement. But it's a bit dodgy, this process. You never know what you're going to end up with" The Doctor double over in pain.

Rose worried "Doctor!"

Doctor "Stay away!"

Rose "Doctor, tell me what's going on."

Doctor "I absorbed all the energy of the Time Vortex, and no one's meant to do that. Every cell in my body's dying."

Rose "Can't you do something?"

Doctor "Yeah, I'm doing it now. Time Lords have this little trick, it's sort of a way of cheating death. Except it means I'm going to change, and I'm not going to see you again. Not like this. Not with this daft old face. And before I go"

Rose "Don't say that."

Doctor "Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I." Golden light burst out of the Doctor's body. Everything changes very suddenly and the tenth Doctor is standing there. Now with a South London ascent. "Hello. Okay. Ooo, new teeth. That's weird. So, where was I? Oh, that's right. Barcelona."
