Chapter 1- A Mad Man for a Friend?

A young Jäger hid behind her planets maroon and silver trees, watching a strange man run around a blue box while talking frantically. This Jäger is a unique Jäger. Her scales are midnight black with a gold tint. Her hair is as white as snow with gold time dust, and gold and black feathers woven into it. Her eyes are alight with cyan fire, and she is wearing a silver and emerald double slit warrior dress. The main color is silver and her cat-like pupils are violet.

The young Jäger gives a slight chuckle at the man's actions, then freezes. The strange man she is watching suddenly snaps his head in her direction with an inquisitive look on his face. The man's voice is sort of childish as he speaks.

"Hello? Hello? Who's there? Come on out. Don't be shy."

The young Jäger hesitantly steps out from behind the maroon bark of the tree. She utters her name in a soothing voice. "I am Ashura of the Leera-Alkara clan. Who are you, strange man with a blue box? Your presence is… unusual."

The man looks surprised at her name then turns red when he realizes he is just staring at Ashura. He rubs his neck embarrassed, "Umm, hello. My friends call me Theta. Ah, umm. My… ship crashed and I have no way of fixing her. That is why… what are you doing?"

While Theta was talking, Ashura came closer and started to investigate his ship. She answers him with amusement, "I am inspecting what is wrong with your ship, Theta. Or should I say your... TARDIS? It means Time and Relative Dimension In Space, yes? Oh you naughty boy, you. You stole her."

Theta swings his head back and forth between the TARDIS and Ashura. He looks flabbergasted at Ashura's knowledge. "What? How… how do you know that?"

Ashura laughs at his look and tone. "Your TARDIS told me. She calls you her Thief, and you call her Sexy. You should know that Jägers are very similar to Gallifreyans. I am telepathic. I wonder… is the problem in the inside?"

Theta's face turns as red as a tomato in embarrassment. Then his face turns thoughtful. His thoughts zip past at a fast rate. A million thoughts in a second. Five thoughts stands out. She understands me. She is not downgrading me or anything. Only teasing me. She is brilliant. Sexy is talking to her.

Theta's attitude turns a 180. "Right then. Why don't you go right on in? Explore. Maybe you'll find something you like."

Ashura gives Theta an amused look. She laughs and walks inside, "I know what you are trying to do you silly boy. I can't join you though. I have responsibilities, and if I disappear for more than 14 hours there will be trouble."

Ashura sighs when Theta gives her puppy dog eyes. She points at him and scolds, "Don't give me that look. S-stop it." She sighs in exasperation when he keeps giving her the look. "Fine. I will go on two trips. Two! Then you must take me home. I have an important day tomorrow. You may visit though. I'm not telling you goodbye."

Theta yells, "Yes!" Then he hugs her tightly and drags her further into the TARDIS. He runs up to the console after letting go of Ashura's hand. He watches Ashura's reaction as he sets the coordinates.

Ashura glides around the TARDIS's main room with marvel in her eyes. She whispers in awe, "She… is beautiful. I can feel her emotions and her essence."

Theta rests his hands on the console and leans forward with a wide grin. "What do you think Shura?"

Ashura cocks her head to the right in confusion. "Shura?" Her lips twitch in amusement as she watches Theta turn as red as the Berry-apples of her planet.

"It is fine you silly boy. I love it, she is beautiful. No, she is fantastic!"

Theta's face brightens up when she says this. He grins the grin of telling a great secret. "Well then, when or where do you want to go? The past, the future, Earth, a supernova, a museum?"

Ahura twirls closer with a laugh. "I don't know. Take me anywhere! As long as it is fun!"

Theta twists a few knobs and pushes a couple of buttons. He warns in excitement, "Hold on tight! To random we go!"

Ashura and Theta hold on tight to the console as the walls and floor around them become an earthquake. They both laugh and smile as they bump into each other.

Ashura continues to laugh even as white static takes over her sight. It is the sign of a vision coming on. There are grey shapes and black shadows. There is yelling and screaming. There is pain. Then there is laughter and excitement. The grey shapes are running. The black shadows are cackling. Then the darkness comes and there is no more. There is nothing. Not even death.
