The Time Lapse
Bombs Away
We begin in the TARDIS where Thomas and the team are cleaning up after the TARDIS'S long wait in storage all of a sudden they hear a loud and ferocious bang which sends then crashing through the Time Vortex...
"I think I agree with George, This thing doesn't half throw you around are you sure that your flying that thing properly?" screamed Brian
"Since when did I say anything like that" replied George in anger
"Alright you two stop arguing" Says Thomas as Sparks Fly "Dammit"
"Talk about being worried" sniggered Brian
"You'll get used to it, honestly" said George in a serious manner
"Yeah, but that's what I like about him" he replied "That sense that you never know what's coming next, that adrenaline rush you get from being around him".
"Oh Dear" exclaimed Thomas "We've fallen into a time lapse!"
"Care to tell us what a time lapse is" asked Brian
"I know its something where time changes, am I right?" asked George
"Yes, but there's more to it than that, a time lapse is a change it time but its loads of them stringed together and each one has a different event changed, its like a parallel universe being created around the existing one, but that's extremely dangerous as it could tear the whole universe apart and that has somewhat of a domino effect on the parallel ones and they could be destroyed until nothing exists anymore; everything will cease to exist" explained Thomas "The only thing that's different about this one is that usually there is a natural cause to it and they can be stopped easily those are relative time lapses which only change on detail and don't create a separate universe on top of another they just expand out to the void and be swallowed up and nothing happens but with this one its man made it has been induced which is bad because the whole no universe thing could happen"
"Who did it" asked Brian puzzled
"Could be anyone in the universe but we would know wouldn't we..." said George "You've got that look on your face..."
Thomas replied "Yep, and why do you think Vie got that look? " Its the Ancestor, well it could be and has in the Time Vortex but he count do it by himself, well threes only one way to find out! Lets Go!"
They Set off with the TARDIS at full throttle, crashing about as sparks fly all across the console everywhere and they land with a big thud.
"It looks like a dump" said Brian
"It is, what happened here?" replied George
"Revenge, the Americans and the Japanese have been fighting for about 6 months or so, I cant get an accurate reading; the scary thing is that it plays a part in the world goes round for all the wrong reasons" explained Thomas seriously with a broad look on his face. "It changes whole people and I let it get the better of me once and it let to my downfall"
"What happened after that" Brian asked
"I don't really want to talk about it and to be honest I don't think that its wise to do so" snapped Thomas
"Look we need to get out of here, or to a bomb shelter and before you ask why its because I finally found out what day it is..." said Thomas with a rather worried and perilous look on his face " Its the 6th of August 1945 and we really need to go!"
Thomas and the team then run back to the TARDIS and when they get there they are met by a Japanese Army Officer...
"Hello, What seems to be the problem sir / こんにちは、問題の先生になるものと思われる"
asked Thomas
"私は車を押収されるか、どのようなこの奇妙なことである / I will be seizing the vehicle or whatever this strange thing is" replied the officer.
"What did he say" asked Brian
"He said that he is seizing the TARDIS, look there's someone in the distance lets ask them if there's a bomb shelter of something to give us some hope at least" said Thomas.
The team run to the distance and catch up with a man who seems to be a nice guy...
"Excuse me, Can you tell us where a bomb shelter of some sort is? / ある種の防空壕がどこにあるかすみません、あなたは私たちを教えていただけますか？" asked Thomas
The man replied "私はあなたの話かわからない / I don't know what your talking about"
"What did HE say?" asked George
"He has no idea what we are talking about" Thomas said while a beeping occurs in the background "But were too late, Carpre Diem, we did seize the day we seized everything its been fun and a long ride... its been nice knowing you guys"
"Wont you regenerate" asked Brian
"I don't know, I hope I will but there's no hope for you I'm afraid Brian"
"Well goodbye"
They all close their eyes and contemplate before they die but all they hear is the sound of a portal opening...
"Wait a second were not dead, Oh that's it... GUYS WEVE DONE IT!" exclaimed Thomas
"What do we do now" asked George
"We walk through it, come on" replied Thomas
So they all walk through the portal and back in the TARDIS Thomas closes the gap with his sonic probe whirring away and the blue light flickering as a high pitched noise screeches throughout the room and a sound of scrunching paper can be heard as the portal closes up
"That was too easy but maybe that's what it will be like" said Thomas joyfully "No don't get your hopes up we still have a while to go yet"/
Next Time: The team are thrown into the 1990s to Germany when the Berlin wall is about to fall, they get carried away in the grand scheme of things and fail to spot the Israeli invasion that occurs and the Germans are put into concentration camps. Thomas and the Team must infiltrate the main camp at Autsvitch and hope they can stop the lapse...
