Chapter 2: Into the TARDIS
Alex awoke with a start to find that he was in the TARDIS Medbay with Anakin and his own girlfriend Ahsoka Tano standing over him. He didn't remember how he'd managed to call Ahsoka but she seamed worried when she saw the mark that the Cyberlaser had left in his black t shirt.
"How?" Asked Alex to which Ahsoka answered
"How did you end up like that?" She walked over and hit him on the shoulder when Alex yelled out in pain she smiled and said "because you were being such an idiot!" She then did something really unexpected she kissed him right in front of Anakin, after a few minutes the kiss was becoming awkward so he pulled away from her. "You should of called me" said Ahsoka to which Alex said smiling
"You wouldn't have known what to do" at this Anakin was completly confused because he didn't know what the hell Alex and his girlfriend were talking about. Alex and Ahsoka rarely argued, so it was best for him to let them finish. When they did Ahsoka turned to Alex and said
"Sorry" she then rushed towards him and gave him another hug and then a kiss on the cheek, when she pulled away she then said "love you" to which Alex responded with
"I love you too" at this Ahsoka smiled and then exited the room but just pausing slightly she turned towards Anakin and said "I'll be outside if you need me" and at that Ahsoka left the room.
"So" Anakin chuckled "you seem all better" at this Alex broke into a smile and said
"How did I?"
"Get into this state?" Anakin said smiling, he then told Alex what had happened after Alex lost consciousness, he claimed what happened was that soon after, Alex was saying gibberish, mumbling words like prophecy and what sounded like father, however Alex didn't remember any of that, but when the word prophecy came, it was like a silent jab to the heart.
"Prophecy" Alex said quietly, Anakin didn't know what on Coruscant Alex was talking about seeing as he had no idea he thought about asking him but when he saw the look on Alex's face he didn't know whether or not to mention it.
"You're thinking about it aren't you?" Alex said, how did he do that? Sometimes Anakin hated Jedi mind reading but what Alex said surprised him even more "I might as well show you" at this he stood up and then called for ID-RS a droid that mainted and piloted this ship that was known as the TARDIS.
Anakin flashed back to when he first entered this ship and when he saw the massive console room he nearly fainted, when Ahsoka saw him she caught him and said
"Don't worry" she laughed "I did the same thing too" at this Anakin smiled and laughed
"At least you had Alex to catch you"
"Actually" Ahsoka said which surprised him "we weren't together back then, so actually he didn't catch me"
"Then how did you guys?"
"Long story and far too complicated to explain" Ahsoka said simply then she focused her attention on the unconscious Alex and then went to pick him up, but not before making sure Anakin was stable.
"Come on" she said gesturing for Anakin to help her "we'd better get him to the Medbay" Anakin was cut off from the rest of the flash back by Alex saying
"Master?" Alex said looking at Anakin funny "are you ok?" It was weird that he was being called master, after being a Jedi knight for so long, Anakin couldn't quite believe it himself.
"I'm fine" Anakin said smiling as he realised they were walking down some steps "how did we get here?"
"I led you down here" Alex said simply and then Anakin realised that Alex was honouring his request to take him to see the prophecy that Alex was so interested in.
"How did you?" Anakin said
"Get shot?" Alex said "by doing what Ahsoka said, I was being a complete idiot" at this Anakin smiled and thought about how those two could stand each other, surely they were together but it must've annoyed them some times "well" Alex said "that can happen when you face an army of Cybermen alone"
"What?" Anakin said never hearing of the Cybermen "Cyber-what's? Are they like battle droids?" At this Alex turned round and looked at Anakin strangly like he'd just been hit by a rock.
"Cybermen" he said "are the second most evil beings in the universe"
"What are the first?" Anakin asked at this Alex paused and didn't answer, this because he felt a strange flashback to his dreams of the weird metal pepper pot creatures shouting one phrase "EXTERMINATE!" he then returned to the present when the blue light hit his vision and Anakin asked "are you ok?"
"Yes" Alex said reaching the bottom of the steps "just old nightmares" he then stepped off and reached a doorway that was guarded by a passcode, Anakin watched excitedly as Alex typed the passcode into the machine and the doors opened
"So this prophecy of yours?" Anakin said curiously "what is it?"
"The most dangerous prophecy in the universe" Alex said as the huge doorway opened to reveal...
