Chapter 2
Rose
Meanwhile in Torchwood on the alternate earth Rose was sitting at her desk, looking out at London. Suddenly a call came through.
"Hello? Hello? Mrs Smith, Rose!!!" said a stranger
"Uh…Yes I'm here" said Rose
"I've been told to tell you that the machine is ready, Mrs Smith, it's ready, finally we can reconnect the worlds and find out what has happened on the other world."
"Good. Thank you for letting me know, can you please contact Mr Smith and Mr and Mrs Tyler for me."
"Yes of course."
Rose got up to leave before the stranger called her back.
"Excuse me Mrs Smith, can I ask you something?"
"Yes, go ahead but be quick"
"Is it true that you came from the other world? Is it true that you travelled with the famous Doctor? Is it true that millions of Daleks and Cybermen lie in between the two worlds?"
"Yes they are all true but don't worry, we are skipping past the void, we are going straight to the other world, my world, now goodbye Gwen"
Slowly Rose left her office and made her way down the main staircase. About half way down a dark figure stepped out. It was covered with a dark cloak and walked 3 inches off the ground no feet were visible, Rose stepped back. When it talked it had the sound of death in it's voice and whenever it got angry Rose could hear people's screams.
"What are you?" shouted Rose
"You betrayed us, you and the servant girl and the man, you stopped us, I warned you that I would get back and now you will pay the price." Said the screechy voice
"What do you… Oh my god, the gelth, how did you get back. The doctor trapped you."
"Oh my dear we have many ways," Slowly the figure took the cloak off.
"Well, where are the rest of you? You never travel alone."
"Correct, but when your friends get trapped on the bridge, you make changes, so my young lady I suggest you open wide."
"No way, you are not getting my body" said Rose
"The body I don't want, but you are standing directly on the rift, now open wide" said the gelth
"Never, I'll rather die than help you."
"If you die my dear I take your body and open it's mouth for you, whatever way my friends will be released, now what's your choice."
"I choose to…RUN"
Rose ran as fast as she could up the stairs, taking three steps at a time, she ran straight to her office where other people would be. She got inside her office and locked the door. Waiting for her were three colleagues, all of whom stood up and looked outside the door.
"Quick pile the table and chairs against the door, one of the gelth is here, quick, quick, why aren't you moving?" said Rose
"My dear, never trust the gelth, the gelth's one rule is always stay in groups." Said the gelth from behind the door.
The gelth floated straight through the door and barricades and face the three men.
"Brother's you may reveal yourself, it's time to get our world."
The three men opened their mouths and a blue stream of steam came out, it floated around before forming another three figures, another three gelth.
"Please leave me alone, I'm not the person you want!"
"Open your mouth and concentrate"
"…Fine"
Rose went to open her mouth before Mickey, Pete, Jackie and Jake burst in with four guns, they shot one at each of the gelth and trapped each one in a laser tube, once trapped they couldn't move. Mickey grabbed hold of Rose and held her close.
"Come on, we need to get to the machine." Said Mickey
Mickey, Rose, Jake, Pete and Jackie ran down the stairs leaving the Torchwood team dealing with the Gelth, they eventually got to the cellar, their they met up with Rash the scientist behind the machine.
"Take your time" Rash laughed as they walked in.
"Sorry Rash, got caught up with some Gelth, almost had a new bloodthirsty alien on our hands." Said Rose.
"Is it ready?" asked Jackie
"Yes, but it still needs to be tested." Said Rash
"Oh, there's no time for that, we need to get there, the last message we got from Torchwood on that world was weeks ago"
As they all started walking toward a big archway that had a portal shining inside, but Jackie stopped Rose and quietly took her away and talked to her.
"Look, Rose I know this is exciting but the last picture we got of London had something in it, something worrying. It had a black ship with semicircles on the bottom of it, a Dalek ship. And a blue police telephone box lying on its side, with a man clambering out. Then the shot was fired. I think the doctor's dead this time."
"No! He can't die, he regenerates, he can't die, he can't die!" Rose sobbed.
"I'm sorry honey but he must have died in that explosion, he wouldn't of had a chance to regenerate"
"Come on, we're going through to find him." Said Rose
"Let's get this show on the road, now!!!" shouted Pete
Jackie, Pete, Rose, Mickey and Jake walked through the portal and the portal light shut off.
"Do you think they'll make it?" asked a young scientist
"What with a Dalek ship above a destroyed London, no chance they'll never make it!" answered Rash
"But why did you let them go through, surely they're more important than test results?
"Yes, but if I'm not a scientist, then I don't want test results."
"Oh God, what do you mean?"
All the other scientists piled round Rash and listened.
"Well my young apprentice, it's time to get my brothers from the rift, they are out of the way, so it's just us, ahhahahahahahah" Laughed Rash
All the scientists opened their mouths and a blue stream of steam came out and formed lots of blue ghosts.
"Oh my god"
"Good bye my young apprentice"
All of the gelth piled on top of the young apprentice and killed him by sucking the life force out of him. Each one of the gelth started to grow some flesh, and as they moved through the torchwood building they sucked more life force and slowly they moved over the whole of London, in that world, sucking all of the life force out of everyone, they each rebuilt their own body, the gelth had returned.
