Authors Note: None of it is mine. Absolutly none of it. This is all a product of my imagination and how I picture the next regeneration.
New Beginnings
It was beginning. He could feel it. As he had once told once Rose he could feel the turn of the Earth. He could feel the whole of Time and Space and he could feel every cell of his body. He knew when something was wrong.
Looking over at Martha though he knew it was worth it. The only way to stop the Rani had been to phase the two TARDIS'. He had know it would be dangerous and when he had seen that surge of energy head towards Martha he had done exactly what he had always did and leapt to her defence. She had been prepared for this and it would not be a great shock.
He looked at her for the last time with those eyes. She looked afraid but at the same time defiant. Worried and terrified at losing her Doctor.
"Martha" he croaked
"Yes Doctor"
"You were there when I needed you the most and I've never thanked you for that. Now I guess this will be my last chance. So thank you."
In the corner of the TARDIS the Doctor could see the same shape that had been haunting him for the last few days. A ghostly white figure, It walked over to the Doctor ignoring Martha and laid a pale hand on his arm.
"Rest now Doctor. The time for fighting is over"
The figure then grew slowly more transparent until he seemed to merge with the Doctor. Then the Doctor burst into flame energy coursing along his arms and up past his face creating a halo around his head.
His features slowly changed, his arms grew shorter and he filled out slightly.
His hair shortened and changed colour. Eventually the energy dissipated leaving a new Doctor in its place.
"Martha" the Doctor said now with a slight Scottish accent
"Yes" she said nervously
"Am I ginger"
"No. More a sort of dark brown"
"Damm" and with that he collapsed.
The Doctor spent the next several days asleep as the regeneration wore off. Martha was there the entire time ready to wake him if necessary and with a cup of tea on standby.
Eventually he woke up. "How long have I been out?"
"About two days" Martha said pushing the Tea towards him
"Thanks" he said gulping it down "what did you do with my suit"
"It's over on the chair. I found some pyjamas in your room which I changed you into to"
He nodded. "Well I think its time for a bit of a change don't you" and with that he picked up his suit and headed off towards the wardrobe room.
He was there quite a while choosing his new outfit and taking a look at his new face.
"I've had worse" he muttered before heading back to the control room.
Martha looked up to see the Doctor dressed in a Turtle neck with a waistcoat over the top, a scarf, dark trousers and a dark coat. She noted he had kept the converses.
"Right" he said moving to the console "where too"
"Far away" Martha said "Somewhere far away".
