"Do you think you dream these dreams because you feel trapped yourself?" Dr Lupus asked looking at him intently over her glasses.

"What?"

"Well think about it Doctor, you're trapped on one planet, in a universe that is not your own away from your home. You need to create a world where things are worse than this just to remind yourself that this is better than what could have been" Dr Lupus explained.

"You think I broke my own ribs and arm in my sleep?" the Doctor said disbelievingly.

"It is possible Doctor. People sleepwalk, people sleep talk why not sleep-self harm?"

"I think they are possibly real" the Doctor snapped defensively. "Things like this always turn out real or someone telepathic interfering my mind"

"And sometimes it's just psychological stress" Dr Lupus said causing the Doctor to let out a frustrated groan and run a hand through his hair. Before another word could be said though Dr Lupus looked out of the window in a mix of fear and surprise. "What the...?" she murmured.

The Doctor turned to see the streets covered in smog, a thick smoke of gases. "Blimey" he said. "Now what could have caused that?"

His annoying mobile chirped.

"Go on, go save the world" Dr Lupus said standing up. "But I want you back same time tomorrow"

"Aye, aye captain" the Doctor muttered sarcastically.

"It's the ATMOS" Mickey said handing the Doctor a file. "Me and Jake have been watching it for months, documenting every complaint; every death and Toshiko has even tried to crack it open. She managed to figure out what's in the gas though"

The Doctor flipped through the file. "Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Carbons, Nitrates and 10 non-identified" the Doctor read out. "Hmm looks like it's something more than a poison. Someone is up to something"

"We got a lockdown of a spaceship orbiting Earth two months ago. It hasn't attacked or anything but we kept an eye on it" Jake said leading the Doctor into a conference room where Gwen, Tosh, Ianto and Pete were already sitting in. The three men took their seats.

"Men" Pete started but Gwen gave a hacking cough to remind him that she and Tosh were in the same room. "And women, I haven't forgotten Gwen. We're just about to make contact with the spaceship and interrogate them to see if they are behind our ATMOS problem. You're my top team so do what you do best"

Everyone gave a curt nod and the Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and used it on the large screen. "Calling unidentified ship under Jurisdiction Two of the Intergalactic Rules of Engagement. This is The Doctor"

"Doctor, breathing your last?" came a face of a potato troll like face that flashed onto the screen.

"My God, they're like trolls" Mickey blurted out causing the others to snigger and Pete to glare disapprovingly.

"Yeah, loving the diplomacy, thanks" the Doctor murmured.So, tell me, General whoever you are, since when did you lot become cowards?"

"How dare you!" the general snarled.

"Oh, that's diplomacy?" Ianto asked sarcastically.

"Doctor, you impugn my honour!" the general shouted.

"Yeah, I'm really glad you didn't say belittle cos then I'd have a field day. But poison gas? That's the weapon of a coward and you know it. Sontaran, you could blast this planet out of the sky, and yet you're sitting up above watching it die. Where's the fight in that? Where's the honour? Or, are you lot planning something else? Cos this isn't normal Sontaran warfare. What are you lot up to?" the Doctor babbled causing his team mates to sigh and roll their eyes.

"A general would be unwise to reveal his strategy to the opposing forces" the general sneered.

"Aaah, the war's not going so well, then? Losing, are we?" the Doctor jeered.

"Such a suggestion is impossible" the general said coldly.

"What war?" Pete asked.

"The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans well it was in the other universe, I think it's the same here. It's been raging, far out in the stars for 50,000 years. 50,000 years of bloodshed, and for what?" the Doctor babbled while glaring the full power of the Oncoming Storm at the general.

"For victory. Sontar-ha!" the general cheered.

"Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha!" the other Sontarans chanted on.

"Give me a break" the Doctor muttered rolling his eyes, he pulled out his sonic screwdriver and changed the channel to a cartoon.

"Doctor. I would seriously recommend that this dialogue should be handled with more maturity" Pete said in a warning tone. "We don't want to antagonise these Sontarans"

The Doctor changed the channel back to the Sontaran ship. "Finished?" he asked lightly.

"You will not be so quick to ridicule when you die breathing our gas" the general said coldly. "Cease transmission!"

The screen went black and everyone sat there in silence.

"Doctor what do we do?" Pete asked.

"Whatever you do don't shoot at a Sontaran, don't get any soldiers out and don't do anything warlike round them" the Doctor ordered. "I need to get into this ATMOS factory and by a car without the ATMOS"

Pete nodded. "Take Gwen, Tosh and Mickey with you. Jake, Ianto I want you listening in through the comms and get Owen and Martha on stand by"

Everyone got up and began to move quickly, the fate of the planet were on the shoulders. Again.

Breeding, the Sontarans were planning on using Earth as a breeding ground. The Doctor and Tosh managed to make a device to clear the atmosphere while Mickey and Gwen kept an eye out for Sontarans. After they cleaned out the atmosphere the Doctor grabbed hold of the device and ran to the teleport they found in the factory.

"Right then, thank you for everything you guys. Send my regards to Jackie, Pete and Tony and if you ever get a chance to see Rose...if some miracle you see her in the flesh or through a hologram...tell her...tell her...oh she knows"

Mickey looked absolutely furious. "Don't you dare! Don't you dare waste your life away!"

Sontarans are never defeated." The Doctor said, pressing a few buttons on his device. "They'll be preparing for war, I...well I made this to recalibrate Sontaran air so..."

"You're going to ignite them" Tosh said quietly.

"You'll kill yourself!" Gwen said feeling dread and horror.

"Just send it up by itself" Mickey pleaded. "Put it on a delay"

"I can't" the Doctor whispered.

"Why not?" Gwen asked.

"I got to give them a choice" the Doctor said. "They have the right to choose you guys I can't just ki-"

Something hit him hard in the back of the head and darkness over took him.

"Tell me how you feel?" Dr Lupus said softly.

"What do you want me to say?" the Doctor grumbled.

"Just how you feel, I know it's hard loosing another friend after all that happened but you need to talk" Dr Lupus said.

"It's my fault she died. She didn't want me to sacrifice myself so she went instead. Saved the world and died doing it. In a ball of flames just like she did back when she was Gwyneth the innocent maid! Now Gwen Cooper died and it's all my fault" the Doctor shouted.

"It's not your fault" Dr Lupus said sternly. "Gwen Cooper did her job accept it. This had nothing to do with other than you were trying to play the self sacrificing hero and she stopped you"

"You are a horrible therapist" the Doctor informed her.

"I tell the truth plain and straight" Dr Lupus shot back. "Besides someone needs to knock some sense in you"
