Chapter 4: An Angel and a Demon
As the Doctor came to he saw he had been dragged into another cell on the ground floor of the Tower of London. Then he saw Gwen still passed out wrapped in iron chains in the same cell. Though he was in a cell he could see that every guard present was holding their weapons towards him. The King himself was standing before the cell.
"Hello Doctor" he said coldly
"Hello Charles." The Doctor said "Why is my friend wrapped up in chains?"
"Oh the witch, we needed to make sure she would not harm us should she wake before the execution."
"You're still planning on killing me!"
"Both of you. I had no idea that the Doctor cavorted with witches."
"She's not a witch. Well she does manipulate energy. She does manipulate that energy with shapes and words. She does have a lot of spell books. Well I guess Anodite could seem like a witch to you. But still that's no reason to kill her...or me."
"I need no more reasons Doctors. Heaven sent an angel to end you but it left you for me to finish."
"Oh right a King, God let's me do whatever I want. That wasn't an angel, it was alien. A creature from another world like me, like Gwen here. That thing is going to come back for both us and when it does it will tear through all of you. It will tear through the town. When's done it will tear through the whole world."
"Oh Doctor you're telling your stories again. Stories of monsters, of terrible creatures and nightmares. I will admit I will miss them."
"They're not just stories."
Then the entire building shook. Most of the guards headed out side and Gwen let out a moan as she started to come to. Then the scream of the guards filled the air.
The chronovore had returned for it's prey and now was simply tearing through the guards that stood in its way. King Charles went to the door to see the men get torn to shreds by the beast. When he first saw it was the size of a man but not had grown to the size to be the size of a small building.
The Doctor was checking on Gwen "Gwen are you alright."
"Doctor?" she asked in dream like tone
"The Chronovore is back, we're trapped in a cell, and...that's about it you're caught up."
Noticing the chains around her and the cell bars Gwen said "Eterla Morbulous."
The bars and the chains broke and crumbled.
"Who needs a sonic screwdriver when I've got Gwen Tennyson?" The Doctor said delighted
Gwen gave him a smile as they stepped out of the cell. "Please tell me you have a plan this time."
"I have a sort of plan."
"Well I guess that's better than nothing. What is it?"
"I get to crown jewels find which one is connected to the chronovore and do something clever to send it back."
"How are you going to keep the chronovore from coming after you and eating you before you get to the crystal."
"I haven't figured that part yet."
She sighed "I'll hold it off while you get to the crystal."
"Gwen, your practically made of energy the Chronovore will feast on you, when it's done it will be able to find your universe and devour it."
"So then you will just have to do whatever it is that you're going to do before it can eat me."
"Gwen how do you plan to hold it off?"
"I going to produce as much energy as I can so I can to keep it distracted."
"The only way you could produce enough energy to hold it off is..." the Doctor froze with the realization "Gwen! You can't be planning on using you full Anodite form? it's crazy! You can't control that power! You might not be able to come back! You might not be able to survive at all!"
"I know the risk Doctor but if we don't do this then none of us are going to survive this."
"Gwen be careful."
Gwen took a deep breath. She had never done this before on purpose when this happened she just lost control of her emotions. Emotions drove her powers she had to draw on her memories. She thought back on those people she cared about the most and how she felt about them, She remembered her first date with Kevin,her summer vacation with grandpa Max and her cousin Ben,when she met her best friend Emily,when she learned about her powers, all the running she ended up having to do with the Doctor, the fear she felt when she met Vilgax, when she found out why Charmcaster acted the way she did and every crazy adventure she ever had with her cousin or her other universe friends like the Doctor. She let all the emotions swell up in her and in a flash of energy she changed, her body was now made out of dark purple energy her hair was illuminated magenta streams of energy and her eyes turned into pure white light.
"Like I said be careful." The Doctor told her
"I will Doctor." Gwen's voice echo as she spoke but the Doctor could still there was some uncertainty in it.
The Doctor didn't have time to reassure her or even know what to tell her to reassure her. The Chronovore stopped it's attack on the guards when sensed a new and strange source of power. Before it could turn to see the source of this new power it was blasted away by Gwen. The Guard bowed to her she radiated a calming energy and a sense of heart and love were the other being only induced fear. The guards and even Charles now believed that Gwen was a true angel and the Chronovore was in fact a demon, one of the fallen angels. The Doctor ran up the stairs hoping to reach the crystal before something happened to Gwen. Meanwhile the Chronovore and Gwen squared off. The guards moved back knowing this was not a battle for mortal men but a battle between an angel and demon.
Authors Notes: Anyway sorry for being so late, I've had writers block. I don't know when I'll be able to post again my birthday is coming up and that always ends badly and I get scars both emotional and physical. Then I have an anime convention so I'll try to get back to this as quickly as I can I got like two more chapters left. Anyway review if you have questions feel free to ask me any questions. I am worried some of the show references are hard to follow so tell me if you felt the same.
