As Rose held the fire extinguisher and put out another burst of fire that broke from the console, she vaguely wondered how exactly they got to this particular point. Letting out a yelp when some sparks touched her skin, she pulled back farther and rubbed the quickly reddening area. "Doctor!"
"Right! I know!" The Doctor gave his companion a quick look and his brow furrowed, as he could see the welt on her arm, as well as the signed fabric of her top. "Come on old girl." Yelling as he got a shock, he pulled back, only to move back up to the console again. Flipping one switch and pulling down one of the levers, he gave Rose a quick grin and then ducked as purple fire rolled down from the top of the room, electrical impulses flashing within the flames.
Pulling the handle, Rose aimed the end of the extinguisher and her eyes widened as nothing came out. "I thought you charged this!" Dropping down the purple can, she turned to go and find another, but the room chose that moment to lurch and she first hit the captains chair and then into the bar running around the console room. Letting out a grunt she crashed to the floor and gave off a soft whimper.
"Rose, hang on." Trying to make his way around to Rose the Doctor let out a few grunts as sparks of power kept running up his arm and then just gritted his teeth as his shirt sparked. Falling to his knees, a hand went to his head and he tried to concentrate as the TARDIS's song turned twisted. He knew she was in pain, but they had to keep things together or who knows where they would end up. His eyes looked at the broken glass that caused the present malfunctions.
Looking between Rose and the console, he gritted his teeth. How come he had to choose between the two girls so many times? Looking at Rose again, he closed his eyes for a second. Her eyes were closed and she looked unconscious. That made his choice a bit easier and he started to pull himself up a bit more, his fingers pressing down random buttons as he tried to make the TARDIS land somewhere safe. But he jerked back as more electricity ran through his system and he fell to the floor. His face twisted for a moment more, before his features relaxed in unconscious bliss.
The TARDIS cried out again, her telepathy rolling through various links and causing several people to grip their heads in pain. They couldn't know what caused the pain, only that something was pushing against them and something was hurting. An entire planet seemed to stop as their hive mind gave them all a glimpse as to what was happening. Hands being raised up they sent back thoughts of wellness and sanity giving the TARDIS a moment's relief.
A lever moved by itself and a few switches flipped, the random sparks stopping as the ship twisted and turned in space. Finally it faded out of that time and space and moved back into the vortex. Twisting and turning the TARDIS picked a random area that would be kind to her Time Lord and landed. In truth it had so many places it could land but she was careful not to cross her own timeline. Beeping softly she weekly opened the doors to the outside and let out an agonizing groan. Systems and lights shutting off one by one as the TARDIS pulled her power in to heal the broken parts of her form.
A face appeared in the open doors and soon a body followed. However, the canine that was now in the TARDIS wasn't who anyone was aiming for. Moving over first to the Doctor and then over to Rose, the dog turned and gave a sharp bark. Three more dogs joined the first and they sniffed at the various sections of the main room, before coming over to the two human like figures. Growling softly the first dog nipped at one of the younger ones and she yelped before trotting out of the room.
Four more seemed to appear out of nowhere a few seconds later and they joined the first. Each one sniffing at the Doctor and Rose, before pulling back and looking quizzically at the rest of the room. One by one they disappeared into the ship and before long only the first one remained. Nosing at the Doctor, he came across an interesting scent. Carefully pulling out the object the dog drew his nose out of the Doctor's jacket and dropped his prize. The sonic screwdriver falling to the grating.
Nosing the piece of alien tech the dog picked it up again and wandered to the door to show his Mom what he had found. After a second of being gone the dog came back, put the screwdriver down and gave a couple sharp barks. Other barking responded and soon all seven dogs that had disappeared into the ship emerged and as a pack they headed back towards the house. Curiosity wanting to make then turn and run back, but the command of their alpha drove them forward and pushed the idea of the box from their minds.
