So, yeah. Sorry about the cliffhanger last chap. Okay, maybe not sorry, it did get me a lot of reviews! ;P So I am now giving you Rose and the Doctor's meeting! And of course Jack and Martha will be there. That's not going to be awkward at all... So without any further ado, I give you YANA chapter 3.
The Doctor turned around and saw her. The one person in the entire Universe he most wanted to see, but also the most impossible. He almost let himself hope it would be her when Professor Yana said her name was Mala Lupus. But he couldn't hope, he refused to hope, not when hoping just made the truth that more painful. He refused to believe, even when he saw her standing before him. He convinced himself it was a hallucination, or he was projecting his thoughts onto the person. He nearly believed it, but then Jack said the one thing that could snap him from his state of paralysis.
"Rose." Jack was the one to whisper it, but the Doctor was thinking the exact same thing.
That one word, expelled from an impossible, wrong man sent him running the few steps to her and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. She wrapped her arms around him and returned the hug. He felt something wet hit his suit and knew that it was one of Rose's tears. He held on to her until he was sure she needed air, but even then all he did was loosen the embrace.
there was a loud cough from the corner of the room. The Doctor looked up to see Martha staring at them with her eyebrow raised. He released Rose and smiled at Martha.
"Martha I'd like you to meet Rose Tyler. Rose this is Martha Jones. She, um, weelll...she travels with me." The Doctor ran his fingers through his hair, messing it up even further.
"It's funny, I had a friend in the other universe that looked exactly like you. Her name was Martha too." Rose held out her hand, but Martha didn't take it. In fact she barely looked at Rose except to glare at her. Rose decided that this was one friendship that was not happening.
"Rosie? Oh my God! Y-you're here!" Jack ran forward and lifted her up in another hug. Rose laughed as he spun her around.
"Jack! Put me down! Jack, I'm glad to see you to, but put me down!" She was still laughing when Jack set her down. That stopped when Jack pulled her into a kiss.
The Doctor watched Jack run over and hug Rose. He saw all of their reunion and was glad to see it, until Jack started to kiss her. At that point he got very angry. I mean very angry. Oncoming Storm, angry. He stepped forward and tore Jack away from his Rose. The Doctor practically threw Jack across the room. He then turned away from a very stunned Jack and scooped Rose into his arms and gave her a passion-filled kiss. He kissed her how he had dreamed of doing since he regenerated. He didn't stop kissing her until his respiratory bypass kicked in. He held her close and whispered in her ear the thing he had longed to say on Bad Wolf Bay. The end of his sentence.
"I love you." Then it was Rose kissing him. She made it deep and forceful, whereas his was slightly slower and not as deep.
"Hello? Love-birds? Incase you forgot, there are other people here. One of whom who just threw at a wall! And I think you might want to explain some things to Professor Yana over there." Martha said in an ice-cold voice as she helped Jack stand. Rose released the Doctor and stepped back, blushing a shade that matched her name. Martha is helping Jack to one of the chairs near where he set his bag and sits him down. Trying to find a med-kit she searches his bag, but all she sees is a giant metal container. She pulls it out to reveal a jar, with a hand in it!
"Oh my God. " She sets the hand on a table and the others come over.
"You've got a hand. A hand in a jar. A hand in a jar in your bag." Martha tells them repeatedly.
"Is that..?" Rose asks the Doctor from where she's standing behind him.
"That's, that's my hand ! From Christmas day! Remember Christmas day, Rose? Lost my hand, there it is!" The Doctor exclaimed excitedly.
"I told you I had a Doctor detector." Jack told him nonchalantly from his chair.
"Chan Is this a tradition among your people tho?" Chantho asked.
"Not on the street I live on!" Martha answered.
"Hold on, you said that's your hand. But you've got both your hands, I can see them!" Martha added as she stared at the jar.
"Christmas day, not this Christmas, the one before it, I was in a sword fight. Remember the big ol' spaceship over London? All those people on rooftops? I was on the ship, with Rose, and Mickey. And Harriet! Can't forget Harriet! Oh, I knew her back when she worked with Flydale North. Wonderful woman, stopped World War Three with her. Worried about her Mum." The Doctor got that far-off look in his eyes. But then he shook his head and turned to Rose and smiled.
"Let me guess, Rose was there too?" Martha said with venom in her voice. Rose didn't understand how this Martha could hate her so much when her Martha was her best friend at Torchwood. It was weird how parallel people could be so different. But then parallel Mickey had been very different from real Mickey. So had parallel Pete. So maybe Martha in this world was meaner than the Martha in Pete's world.
"Yeah, I was. Saved the world while he was off nappin'!" Rose looked at the Doctor.
"I was regenerating! And might I remind you, Rose Tyler, that you gave up on me!" The Doctor's voice mimicked his exact pattern of speech from the last time he had said those words.
"Still rude, I see. And definitely not ginger! Glad that hasn't changed! I missed you." Rose was teasing when she started, but softened on her last sentence.
"Excuse me? But how exactly do you know each other? Why do you keep calling her Rose? Her name is Mala. I'm sorry, but I'm just completely confused." Yana finally spoke up. They all turned to him, forgetting he was there.
"Weelll... I suppose that is true to an extent. She did tell you her name was Mala Lupus. And she is the Bad Wolf, which is what that translates to. And you probably are confused. As to why I keep calling her Rose, well that's her real name. Rose Marion Tyler. And we used to travel together, me and Rose. And Jack, though I looked completely different then! I was all short hair, big ears and leather jacket. Thank Rassilon I regenerated! I don't know about you, but I rather like this version of me! Though, I wish I was ginger. Never been ginger, sounds nice though. Oh, but you don't care about me! You really want to know how to get your ship to fly! Which I figured out how to do while we were talking! 'Cos I forgot to mention one thing. I'm very clever!" The Doctor went on to explain exactly what he needed each of them to do.
Martha went to help Chantho gather circuit boards to upload. Rose went along to help get the passengers ready for boarding. The Doctor, Jack and Professor Yana went about connecting circuits and wires and doing other technical things. When Martha and Chantho came back with the boards they began sliding them into their slots. Rose was still out helping families when she noticed one girl off to the side, not gathering things or loading onto the rocket.
Rose followed her and noticed that her lips fit uncomfortably over her teeth, like she was hiding fake fangs. Or real ones! Rose saw her moving toward a circuit board, so she lunged out and stopped her. The FutureKind fought Rose and sliced her across the stomach before the guards came, attracted by the noise. They chased the FutureKind away and went to help Rose. Rose's belly was sliced straight across. The guards tried to lift her to carry her to the rocket, but Rose told them that she had to go to Professor Yana. They took her to the lab and set her down on a clear piece of space. The Doctor instantly stopped what he was doing and went to her, a panicked look on his face.
"Rose, oh Rose! You can't leave, not when you just got back! I can't loose you again! I barely survived when you were in a parallel world! Please, don't do this! Oh Rassilon, Rose!" The Doctor held onto Rose and sobbed. No one dared interrupt them. They kept doing their jobs, but went about it quieter and they kept stealing glances at the couple that was apparently doomed.
"Do-doctor.. I.. I lo-love.. y-you. I j-just.. want y-you to.. know th-that... And p-please.. do-don't travel.. alone. Pro-promise me." Rose demanded in between shaky breaths. She had tears in her eyes that began to stream down her face. The Doctor's tears mixed with hers as they landed on her face.
"I promise. I love you too Rose Tyler. With both of my hearts." The Doctor held her as her face paled. She faintly smiled.
"Quite right too." She gave a sharp gasp of pain.
"ROSE!" The Doctor's face contorted in fear. Rose calmed her breathing and continued.
"Doctor, i-if you fi-find a way.. I wa-want you to gi-give my mu-mum.. so-something.. oh-okay?" The Doctor nodded. "In my le-left.. po-pocket.. I ha-have a wa-watch. I've ha-had it si-since.. birth. I wa-want you.. to gi-give it to m-my mu-mum. And a-around my ne-neck.. I ha-have m-my TA-TARDIS key.. give it t-to someone wo-worthy.." She coughed again and the Doctor held her close. She reached her hand down and took an old fob watch out of her jean pocket. She handed it to the Doctor, who looked at it like it was Christmas. He turned it over to reveal a network of interlacing, complex circles. His eyes lit up even more.
"Rose do you know what this is?" She shook her head 'no'. "This is a Time Lord's watch. It contains the essence of a Time Lord, of the person who possesses it. If you've had this since you were a kid, then you're not human. Rose, this watch means that you're a Time Lady. Which means you don't have to die. All you have to do is open the watch. You'll get all of your Time Lady memories back, and you'll still have your human memories." He set the watch in her hand. She looked at it and then at him. Then back to the watch. Slowly she pressed the button to open it.
A bright gold light came out of the watch and streamed into Rose. She screamed from the pain of rewriting her biology, but the Doctor held on to her, even as she trashed around. When she was done thrashing he gently released her. He stood up and looked down at her. It looked like whatever happened in her body to transform her also got rid of her wound.
"Rose? Are you okay? You aren't hurt are you? Do you remember who you are?" The Doctor asked the woman laying on the floor. She suddenly sat up and looked at the Doctor.
"Woah. That was weird. Rassilon, I feel so free! How do they travel in those tiny human minds?" The woman who Rose became said to no one in particular.
The Doctor bent down at the knees so he was eye level with her.
"Do you remember who I am? Do you remember who you are?" He asked the strange woman. She looked at him with a very curious expression on her face.
"Of course I do! You're the Doctor and I'm... Oh. I don't know who I am. I never got a chance to choose. Well then I guess we'll just have to pick one for me! How about the Bad Wolf? It'd be much easier to use that rather than think of a new one. But then, maybe I want a new one. New me, new name. Though I did like Rose, and we are the same person. How about... Oh I don't know! All the good one's are taken! Maybe the Rosado? Naw, doesn't feel right. Maybe just the Rose. The Doctor and the Rose. The Oncoming Storm and the Bad Wolf. The Destroyer of Worlds and the Valiant Child. Shiver and Shake! Hold on, no that's something else. Sorry. So what do you think? Just the Rose?" She finished up, directing this question directly at the Doctor.
He cracked a big goofy grin and pulled her into another hug. "My Rose!"
She laughed and hugged him back. "My Doctor!"
"Not to interrupt, but we kinda need help over here!" Jack shouted over to them. They stood up and went to a different panel and started to connect wires and switch knobs.
"Doctor? Are you up there? If you can hear this, we found you're box. We're bringing it up now."
"Ha! Professor, I think I found a way to get you to the stars! 'Cos from what I can tell this can't be operated from the rocket. You were going to stay here, but I can get you to Utopia faster than any rocket." The guards brought in the TARDIS and set it towards the back of the lab. They were almost ready to launch, but the Doctor figured they could use more power, so he grabbed a cable from the TARDIS and connected it to the power supply.
"A little extra boost of power!"
They continued prepping for the launch. The stet-radiation was stable, so the Doctor and the Rose went down to the radiation controls and took over there, so that they could board the rocket. Once everyone was secure and everything was set in the control room, the countdown started. They reached blast-off and the Doctor and the Rose ran back up to Yana and everyone else. When they got there Jack, Martha and Chantho were unconscious and Professor Yana was nowhere to be seen.
"Doctor... ooh, new voice. (Low), Hello, (high), hello, (normal), hello. Anyway, why don't we stop and have a nice little chat while I tell you all my plans and you can work out a way to stop me ? I don't think so!" A strange new voice came from the speakers on the TARDIS. Martha starts to stir beside the Doctor.
"Hold on! I know that voice!" She tells him. The Doctor doesn't pay any attention.
"I'm asking you really properly! Just stop! Just think!" The Doctor pleaded with the new voice.
"Use my name." The voice said from inside the TARDIS. The Doctor's face went white as he realized who was in his TARDIS.
"Master. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." The Doctor stood up, a plan already forming in his head.
"Tough!" The Master yelled from inside the TARDIS. The Doctor walked over to the TARDIS and gave it instructions telepathically. The TARDIS starts to disappear and the Doctor holds out his sonic screwdriver. He presses the button and something breaks inside.
"Oh, no you don't! End of the universe. Have fun. Bye bye !" The TARDIS dematerializes again and the Doctor is stuck standing looking at where his beloved TARDIS once stood. He turns back to Martha and Jack who are now regaining conciousness. Martha is sitting beside Chantho, who is apparently dead.
"How did he get here?!" The Doctor yelled in full Destroyer of Worlds mode. Martha flinched away, and even Jack looked scared. Rose just went over to him and put her hand on his arm.
"H-he was Professor Yana. It's like the Face of Boe said, You Are Not Alone. He had a watch, like yours and Rose's. I saw it and asked him about it. I-I didn't know he would be evil! I thought all Time Lords were like you. Nice." Martha was still scared, but figured he would be angrier if someone didn't answer him.
"Sweet? Maybe. Passionate? I suppose. But don't ever mistake that for nice. See the Time Lords were a pompous race. They had all this technology and knowledge, but they used it to conquer other planets. The only reason they stopped is because Rassilon made a law that said we couldn't interfere with other people's or planets. I'm an anomaly. Most Time Lords are cruel and all they care about is their own survival. The Master was the worst, and you just brought him out. He's supposed to be dead, all of them are. If he's here, then there could be Time Lords in human form everywhere. And I don't have the resources to find them all before they open their watches. So let's hope, for everyone's sake, that Rose and the Master are it." The Doctor turned away from Martha to face Jack.
"Jack give me your vortex manipulator. We're going Master-hunting. And I know just where to find him."
