Hey, this is kinda like my first story thing. It's an alternative version from my other story 'The Rain of Tempest' that has been disbanded. Sorry for those who read it.

Tempest: Why are you doing it again?

Because I lost interest in the other one and I want to write it with the eleventh doctor.

Tempest: Why?

Because I felt restricted with expanding your relationship with the doctor in his tenth incarnation. It feels like I can start on a new slate now and do what I wanted to do. Now leave it.

Tempest: Okay, fine just wondering. I better be just as amazing as I was in the last one.

…We didn't even get that far. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and thank you for reading this…if you do. Here goes nothing.

Tempest: It better be good…

On the distant planet of Krynar, the surface is dominant by vast wastelands of snow and ice, in a never ending blizzard that makes it unstable for any outside species to live on for extended times but that does not stop them from attempting to find out its secrets. A archaeological dig is being done to find out more about the planet as strange crystals appear on its surface coming from deep inside the planet, sparking interesting of just what is lurking within the planet…

00000000000

"But it's becoming too dangerous." Said Professor Gerald Green, the leader of the research team for the dig. He was human and old, about fifty with white hair and wrinkled face. His eyes were a soft brown, showing warmth and compassion. He wore heavy clothing to shield himself from the bitter cold.

"We came here to obtain the energy source and that is what we are going to do!" Stated General Razar. He was a hulking figure, with broad shoulders and a muscular chest. He was bald with a moustache that reached past his lips and framed them. Eye of steel blue showed determination and willingness to go the lengths no matter the consequences. He wore an army uniform, consisting of dark green and red with golden buttons. He tried to prove his superiority by going against the cold.

"We don't even know the energy source is coming from. It could have come from somewhere else. We need more time to research…" General Razar slammed his fist against the console. They were in the central control room. It was coloured blue with numerous screens and buttons, illuminating the room. It was where the majority of the equipment was controlled and powered. Professor Gerald trembled a little as he saw General Razar glaring at him.

"I think we have given you enough time to research. We know a powerful energy signature was emitted from the crystals poking out from this god-forsaken planet. The source is in this core and we must find it. It is for the good of our planet." Professor Gerald snorted.

"You only wish to use it to power the military, not help our people."

"A powerful military means we can defend our people so it ensures their safety." General Razar fired back. He turned away from the Professor and gazed out of the window. They had been digging for a few months and reached a large opening area deep within the planet. It was like a large cave; light coloured ground that led into a maze of crystal walls that reached similar areas, large crystals were sticking from the ceiling of the area, glowing with a multi coloured aura. Multiple machines were around, digging into the walls or scanning them with scaffolding built around them with workers doing their jobs. The walls were composed of green and blue crystal, giving the place a greenish-blue glow. Some would consider it beautiful but Razar considered it an eyesore.

"Just find that energy source so we can leave this place. All these different colours are giving me a headache." Professor Gerald mumbled something under his breath and left the control room. As he walked down the metallic corridor, he was kicking himself mental. He was a scientist. He researched and looked for answers to unanswered questions. He wasn't some grunt that worked to find some way to help the military that were already too trigger happy. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. Before he could reach his lab, his headset rang in his pocket. It was a way to communicate around the site. He placed the small ear piece in his ear.

"Yes?"

"Sir, we found something!" It was Lewis, his assistant. His voice was high, reflecting on his excitement.

"What is it?"

"The source of the signal." Professor Gerald stopped in his tracks. Had they finally found what they were looking for?

"Where?"

"In the central room. The one with the carvings." He knew what room Lewis was taking about. It was located in that Maze, in the centre. It was made up like a real room rather than a part of the landscape.

"I will be there shortly." Gerald spun around and walked in the direction of the maze.

"You are in for one hell of a surprise." With that, Lewis turned off his communicator. Gerald placed his back in his pocket and picked up his pace. He couldn't help but feel a little giddy. The power signal was off the charts when they discovered it. Gerald couldn't wait to find out how something gave off that much power. He had entered the maze and turned corners, memorizing the layout of the area. He finally reached the central room. The room was made of stone rather than crystal. There were carvings in the stone in some unknown language and symbols that not even experts could decipher. There was an opening at the top of the room, blocked by purple crystal. They had focused most of their work on that area because there was no other place made of stone or had that colour of crystal. Also, the signal was much stronger here than anywhere else on the site. There were lights located all around the room with some apparatus and computers. Lewis was standing to the side, watching as two men were extracting something from the crystal that was shattered and ripped apart, with a stretcher behind them. He was a young man of merely twenty five. He had golden locks for hair and blue eyes with a baby face. He wore a long white lab coat as the temperature was much higher in the room than the outside. Gerald walked up to Lewis.

"What happened? Did someone get hurt?" Lewis raised an eyebrow.

"No. They are extracting the energy source. We finally found it Professor." He said with a grin. Gerald was confused. Why did they need a stretcher? It became clear as the men set a body on it. It was of a young woman. She was wearing a black and blue body suit that was torn and ripped, exposing her pale skin. Her hair was a dark brown, verging on black almost. She was dirty for some reason, her pale, smooth face stained as her eyes remained closed.

"What…" Gerald didn't understand this. Was that woman encased in the crystal? He turned to Lewis for an answer of some kind.

"That was my reaction. While we were digging in here, we saw a shadow in the crystal so we aimed there. As we got closer, the signal became stronger. She is the source of the signal. She was trapped in the crystal by god knows what." Lewis said. Gerald looked back at the woman and saw she was being strapped to the stretcher.

"What's going on? Why are you restraining her?" One of the men waved him off.

"A precaution. We don't know what she is capable of. We will take her to your lab for examination and inform General Razar." Gerald grumbled. Who knew what that man planned for the woman.

"Come, Lewis. We have work to do." Lewis nodded and followed Gerald out of the maze, with the same thought running through their minds.

Who is this woman?

The sky was on fire, a burnt orange colour. The grass felt soft underneath her hands as she sat looking up at the sky. It was so pretty at this time. She heard a scuffle behind her. She turned around and saw her best friend walking up to her, staring at his feet, sulking. She smiled at him as he sat beside her and brought his knees to his chest.

"Hey there." She said in a happy voice. He gave nothing in return. This worried her.

"What's wrong?" The boy shifted a little.

"It's my fault." He said in a weak voice. The girl sighed.

"Not this again."

"But it is! If I wasn't so stupid you wouldn't have to go away!" The boy said as he parted from his legs, looking at the girl with wide eyes. The girl shook her head.

"My father decided this a while ago. I would have gone either way. It's not your fault." She patted his head and ruffled his hair.

"Don't you worry about a thing." The boy sniffed a little and wiped his eyes, halting oncoming tears.

"But you will be away and I won't see you. What if you meet someone else?"

"That will never happen. You're too much fun to get rid of. Here." She held out two fingers, her index and middle finger. It was their way of making a promise in their home.

"I promise you will be my best friend who I will care for no matter what." The boy looked at her with wide eyes.

"You mean it?" She nodded.

"Of course. I wouldn't promise if I didn't." The boy met her to fingers with his.

"And I to you. Until the end of time?" The girl grinned.

"And beyond even that!"

Her eyes opened but quickly shut again as they were exposed to bright light. She groaned her head was spinning and refused to stop. She tried to push herself up but she was held back by restraints. She fell back onto her back. Where the heck was she?

"Ah, you're awake." The voice sounded aged. She opened her eyes once more, slowly to get them to adjust to the exposure of light. They soon did and began to dart around the room. She was in a lab of some kind, with computers beeping and glass beakers sitting on tables. She saw a man standing beside her, wearing a long white coat and had white hair.

"Please tell me you are not trying to dissect me?" She said in a tired voice. She may have been weak but that was no excuse for no humour. The old man chuckled.

"No, I'm not. Don't worry. Here." The man had pulled a belt up and the restraints loosened, allowing her to push herself up. She rubbed her head to try and rid herself of dizziness. Her head had finally cleared up and she looked at the man.

"That's good. What's your name?" The man coughed for a moment to clear his throat.

"Well, my name if Professor Gerald Green. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss…"

"Tempest." She said, placing a hand to her chest to identify herself.

"Tempest? Unusual name. Then again, you are an unusual person." Tempest tilted her head.

"Have we met before?" Gerald shook his head.

"No. I don't mean it in that sense. Do you remember what happened?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Happened…" She drew out the word as a way to say she needed elaboration. Gerald seemed shocked at this.

"How you became trapped in crystal?"

"I was trapped in crystal?" She didn't remember that part. All she remembered was being summoned by her father then…nothing. Gerald nodded.

"Yes. You were giving off a large energy signal so this expedition was done to find that source, which turned out to be you." Tempest pointed to herself.

"Me?" Gerald nodded as she shook her head.

"Sorry but not me. Maybe the suit…" She looked down at herself and saw it was ripped to shred basically with some skin exposed.

"It might have let out a distress signal and you guys picked it up. It must have stopped when you found me. You know like some technology built into it." That was the only thing she could think of really to explain it. Gerald didn't agree with this.

"I don't think a suit could produce the sort of energy levels we recorded and there is another question I would like to ask you."

"Sorry, man but I think you might have the wrong person and fire away." Gerald seemed uneasy asking this.

"Do you…know that you have…two hearts?" Tempest let out a 'ah' sound. She looked around so no on was listening.

"Keep a secret?" Gerald nodded. She motioned for him to come closer, which he did.

"I may look it but I'm not human." Gerald's eyes nearly popped out of his head as she said that.

"Then what are you?" Tempest shrugged.

"Ever heard of a Time Lord?" Gerald's face was racked with confuse.

"They are mere myths. Legends that have been past on through generations."

"And you are looking at one and I'm not one to brag but I am the stuff of legends." She laughed a little at her own joke as Gerald was trying to process the information he had just heard.

"Is it that hard to believe that I'm a Time Lord? And I'm not trying to be ungrateful or anything like that but, may I have a change of clothes? I don't like the thought of walking around like this." Gerald snapped out of his thoughts and nodded a few times. He went over to a table and picked up a small pile of clothes lying there. He brought them over to Tempest.

"Yes, yes of course. I'm sorry these were all I could find and I don't think they are good against the cold." Tempest waved him off.

"It's fine. I like the cold…the majority of time. Can I just…" She pointed to a curtain. Gerald nodded again.

"Of course." He turned around to look away from the curtain, giving her more privacy.

"Thanks." She got off from the bed and steadied herself as her legs felt soft and wobbled underneath her. Her strength came flooding back and she was able to walk again. She went behind the curtain and began to discard her suit and wear the clothes provided. She thought about what was happening as she changed. She wondered just how she ended up in crystal and how an energy signal was produced by her. It was impossible. She didn't have any weapons or anything like that so how did it come to be? Professor Gerald seemed like a nice enough guy so she could trust him with the fact she wasn't a human. He seemed so shocked to find out he was in the company of a Time Lord. Things could only get weirder she assumed.

She finally got changed and looked down at herself. She was wearing tight fitted black jeans with a white long sleeved t-shirt and a black, light jacket over it. On her feet was a pair of black converse. She did like the colour black so it was okay. She smiled to herself.

"Okay, I will talk some more with the Professor and find a way out of here. I need to find…" She heard voices on the other side of the curtain.

"Where is she?" Asked a gruffy voice. Tempest could see their shadows from the curtains. There was a large man accompanied by a smaller one. She assumed the voice belonged to the larger man.

"She is just changing. She will be out in a moment." Gerald said. Tempest waited for a moment to hear if they had more to say.

"Has she said anything?" The large man said.

"Yes. She remembers her name but she cannot recall how she ended up encased in the crystal." The large man nodded.

"Alright. We will start the tests soon. If just a human girl can give off that kind of energy, I want to know why." Tempest gave a mental sigh. Gerald didn't mention that she wasn't human. She took a breath and stepped from the curtain and saw the other two men. The large man was bald with a long moustache wearing an army uniform while the other was wearing a lab coat just like Gerald but he was much younger with blond hair. She smiled sweetly at them.

"I take it you are my gracious hosts?" The large man smiled at her, showing teeth. Tempest got a feeling from him she didn't like.

"That's right. My name if General Razar. And you?" She crossed her arms.

"Tempest." Razar chuckled a little.

"Interesting name." Tempest nodded.

"Yeah. So anyway, thanks for digging more out and that but I think I'm gonna head off." Razar shook his head.

"I'm afraid we cannot allow that." Tempest raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" Razar took a step towards her, towering over her.

"I cannot allow you to leave. You gave off a powerful energy signal and I want to harness that." Tempest couldn't believe this guy. He wanted to use her for something she didn't even get herself.

"So you're telling me, I can't leave just because some energy signature appeared and you think it's me?" Razar just smirked and walked away.

"I will leave the rest to you, Professor. Lewis come with me for a moment." The smaller man known as Lewis followed Razar out of the room.

"So, I'm basically a prisoner!" Tempest cried in outrage.

"I guess you are." Razar called back as the door shut behind them. Tempest let out a frustrated cry.

"What a bloody jerk!" Gerald nodded.

"You aren't the only one that feels like a prisoner." Tempest sighed and shook her head.

"I just want to go and find my friend." Gerald looked at her with sympathetic eyes.

"I'm sorry Tempest but, we don't know how long you have been trapped in the crystal so…they might not be living any more." Tempest smiled at him.

"Don't worry. This guy won't have died." Gerald raised an eyebrow.

"You sound so sure."

"Because I am. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on this planet right now…"

So what you think? Any good?

Tempest: I thought it was alright.

Didn't ask you. Just say the disclaimer.

Tempest: Fine, grumpy git. Tundra44 owns nothing. She thinks she owns me but I have words about that.

…Yeah…well thanks for reading and I hope you continue.
