Chapter 2: Chaos
Before the begining of great brillance , there must be chaos. - I Ching
The unending silence is finally broken by the tolling of the cloister bell . That sound that so resembles a heavy church bell echos around the stillness inside the TARDIS. The Doctor is pulled from his ghastly thoughts by the commotion, as he approaches the center console he notices the multitude of warning lights flashing. "What now?" he asks aloud to himself "Another planet to save, another life to destroy?" Flipping a few switches the Doctor looked at the main monitor "What!" he jumped around to the other side of the console and pulled a lever before rushing back to the look at the monitor. "What!" he exclaimed again, as he grabbed his rubber mallet and hit the panel directly below the monitor.
The Doctor frowns in consideration at the mauve warning like glaring up at him from the control panel. "What is it old girl?" the Doctor asks his living ship, as he twisted the quantum accelerator. The TARDIS humms loudly in answer, the time rotor starts rising and falling rapidly. The Doctor begins to panic, as the TARDIS begins to dematerialize under its on control. "What are you doing?" he yells grabbing the rail to keep from falling. The TARDIS begins to screech in agony, the Doctor grabs his head in pain. The telepathic link between ship and Time Lord so strong that he can hear his ship screaming in his head.
"No, no, no, no, no!" he groans in torment at the increasing pressure in his mind. Making his way back around the console he pulls the monitor back towards hims, reading the graceful arches and circles of his native language scrolling across the screen. "No thats not possible... What are you doing?" he yells over the ever intensifying clanging of bells , and screeching of the time rotor.
The TARDIS is spinning out of control, falling thru the void. The Doctor feels like he is in the middle of a tempest on Vel Consadine. The Captains chair breaks off and goes flying past his head. The Doctor falls to his knees gripping his head, his mind feels like it is going to explode. "You can't...its not possible! You don't know what could happen" he screams to his ship trying to get it to stop this chaos.
Suddenly a loud ripping clamor issues forth, as a steel plate flys off the console. A bright golden light escapes from inside the ship, the Heart of the TARDIS grows and expands. It slowly fills the whole room with its warm golden essence. The Doctor cowers on the floor in shock, as silence descends again "You mustn't" he whispers shakingly at his ships soul. A gentle humming, almost like singing whispers softly in his mind, trying to comfort him.
The golden light flares brighter and hotter than ever before, unable to look at it anymore the Doctor throws his arms up to protect his face from the sight. The Heart of the TARDIS surrounds the time rotor, wrapping its golden light around and around untill the cylinder containing it can no longer be seen. The Doctor watches in fearful amazement as the time rotor seems to implode into it self, but also explodes as the column shatters in a million pieces. Explosion after explosion is heard thru out the ship, sparks fly from the control panel. Wires are falling down, the metal grate floor is collapsing, one of the coral organic supports cracks, and crumbles apart. The TARDIS is being pulled apart, the Doctor no longer able to with stand the anguish to his mind, collapses and loses consciousness.
The golden light, the Heart of the TARDIS, surrounds the Doctor in protection even as the destructive chaos runs rampant thru the rest of the time ship. As they fall thru space and time, the Doctor lies prone on the floor of his ship unconscious. He can still hear and feel the TARDIS singing gently in his mind, over and over the ship whispers the name of Rose Tyler.
