Day of the Doctor
The Hoix raised its hand to slash at the Doctor but howled in pain. White electricity swarmed over its body and the Hoix fell over dead as did the other three. The Doctor looked up and saw an alien standing over him. It was dressed in a black jacket, pants, black leather gloves and shoes. The alien was bald, but had pointed ears. There was no nose or mouth, instead their where dozens of mini tentacles. Out of the tentacles, there was a cord that was connected to a glass orb the alien clipped to its chest pocket.
The Doctor got up and looked at the alien in the face and smiled widely. A sense of relief was all over the Doctor body language. The Russos and Harper, however, looked freaked out at the aliens standing there in front of them.
"Ood Sigma," said the Doctor, "I thought I would never see you again."
"As did I, Doctor," said Ood Sigma now holding the orb in his hand. It was glowing a brilliant white whenever the Ood talked. "But this Time Rift attracted us. We heard your screams from across the stars and came here to help. Our naturally powerful psychic abilities were magnified because of the new Rift. We came here to help you. The Hoixes are only going to be the first in a line of creatures coming through the Rift, but once stabilized, the threats will decrease."
"Um, excuse me Doctor, what are these?" asked Jerry just staring at the Ood.
"They're called Oods. Their usually peaceful, but they become aggressive when they or others they trust are threatened."
"And we are from the future. That is where the Doctor becomes our friend and savior," said Sigma.
"Savior?" asked Theresa.
"He liberated us from the tyrannical rule of slave traders and business men," said Sigma not telling the family that the Ood are a slave race to humans in the future.
"Sigma," said the Doctor, "Why have you come here? You could have done something else I'm sure."
"We could not, but we do have a way back. When the Rift is stabilized we will return, but until then we are to guard you from any Hoixes that may or may not appear, but it is better to safe and sound than unsafe and eaten alive, is it not?" asked Sigma.
"True that," said the Doctor, "Wait a minute, how did you even know there was a Rift here, Sigma."
"We could sense it. We are time sensitive. Remember when time was bleeding and the shadow fell over all creation," explained Sigma, "We saw what would have happened if they succeeded. We can also send messages back through time. Don't you remember, Doctor, we sang you to your sleep all those centuries ago."
"I remember," said the Doctor, "Thank you for that. I wouldn't have made it to the TARDIS if you hadn't helped me and doing that in the middle of the street would have been terrible considering how explosive it was."
"What was explosive?" asked Justin.
"Oh nothing," said the Doctor, "I'll tell you later." The Doctor turned his attention back to Sigma, "You can see portions of time. Can you see how this ends up?"
"No Doctor," said Sigma, "But I see that you will have to make a choice that will strand you."
"What do you mean?" asked the Doctor.
"Your TARDIS will need repaired," said Sigma, "Dematerialization will be impossible for months to come after tonight."
"What happens tonight?" asked the Doctor.
"Battle," answered Sigma, "Battle between UNIT and us against a horde of Hoixes."
"What!?" asked the Doctor, "What are you talking about?"
"It's history Doctor," said Sigma.
"I can find something that can stop this can't I," said the Doctor, "There is no need for this bloodshed."
"You are right, Doctor," agreed Sigma, "But this has to happen. You may not be able to feel it, but to us it's history to us. This tear in reality has put a strain on time and it must always happen like this so that time can reorder itself in the future."
"Wait, are you saying this is fixed?" asked the Doctor.
"Yes, Doctor, this is fixed," said Sigma, "If you will excuse us, we have to form a counter to the Hoixes." Ood Sigma and the other Oods vanished in a blue light.
"Oh the Oods have teleports," said the Doctor, "I can really say that I did not see that one coming."
"What's with the spaghetti faces?" asked Alex.
"They're called Oods," said the Doctor, "They are race from the future, so what they said was not a prophecy, but a history listen."
"What did you mean that this was fixed?" asked Justin.
The Doctor sat down in one of the chairs that was still standing, "You guys can sit down."
The others sat down and looked at the Doctor waiting for more explanations to why there already unnatural life was being thrown upside down by this man in a red jacket and blue sports pants with his big blue box and his unlimited knowledge of practically everything.
"There are certain moments in time that are fixed, but everything else is in flux anything can happen. Those certain moments, however, they have to stand. They cannot change because if they do things will turn out terrible. I tried to alter a fixed point once in the 2050s on Mars. Bowie Base One, the first off world colony. Anyway back to point, fixed points cannot, under any circumstances must be changed. If it is, reapers will come. Not the kind you think of. They're more like time bacteria. They cleanse the wound and that is never good," the Doctor rattled off.
"The one you were talking to, Sigma, he said tonight was fixed. What happens tonight?" asked Theresa.
"Battle, just like Sigma said," replied the Doctor, "And whatever happens tonight always has to happen, no matter what. There is going to be a fight between the Ood and Hoixes with UNIT thrown in. This sucks. Not only that my TARDIS is going to have to be damaged in order to stabilize the Rift."
"Sigma said you'll be stranded," said Alex, "If you do this, you will be stuck here?"
"Yeah, my dematerialization circuit was damaged already and now it will be shot when this night is over, but there is a shot I can fix it if I have the proper materials. Before you ask the dematerialization circuit is how I travel through time. I can travel throughout space with out it but it takes a lot longer. Even then I wouldn't trust the TARDIS because she's been on the fritz lately," explained the Doctor.
"How bad is it going to be?" asked Justin.
"I have no idea," said the Doctor, "If the Hoixes are stopped before they get loose, then this will be a lot less deadly. I have to get to the TARDIS and find out when the Rift will spill the Hoixes and..." the Doctor trailed off. "OF COURSE!" he blasted.
Everyone else in the sub station jumped.
"I'm so thick! The TARDIS. That's the answer. I can use the TARDIS to stop the Rift and stabilize it. I mean I sealed the Rift in the Medusa Cascade when I was just a kid, 90 years old. That's how I sealed it, I used the heart of the TARDIS, but she was not an old girl then, she was more of young girl," said the Doctor as he jumped up and ran to the TARDIS.
He got the doors and told her, "We have to do something that will damage you for a few months to maybe even years, but we have to do it. This city is a risk and if the two Rifts meet it could tear this whole planet apart and the future of so many civilizations would be in danger. We have to do this."
"She says yes Doctor," said Alex.
"What?" asked the Doctor.
"Alex what are you talking about?" asked Jerry.
"I can hear. She knows she will be hurt and she is willing to do it if can save lives in the present and the future," said Alex she was choking up and a tear was coming to her eyes, "I can hear her singing. It's beautiful."
"Alex are you okay?" asked Theresa.
"I'm fine," replied Alex, "The sadness is much."
"Not yet Old Girl, not yet," said the Doctor to the TARDIS.
"The sadness is leaving," said Alex, "Why was it there in the first place?"
"I'll tell you later Alex," said the Doctor as he entered the TARDIS.
"Your not leaving me here," said Alex as she ran to the TARDIS.
"Alex where are you going?" asked Theresa.
"Mom, I just have to go. Everything will be okay," said Alex as she walked in and closed the door behind her.
"Just be careful," said Theresa as the TARDIS dematerialized.
"There's nothing we can do now," said Jerry, "The best we can do is clean this mess up and go wait upstairs until tomorrow."
"I hope she will be okay," said Theresa, "A fight between those two creatures and soldier boys and girls is going to be deadly and my daughters is going to be in the middle of it." She ran up the stairs crying and Jerry started to run after her but stopped and looked at Justin and Harper just standing there.
"Dad go," said Justin, "We'll clean this up."
"Thank you," said Jerry as he ran upstairs.
Justin walked over and picked up a table as Harper asked him, "Do you think Alex will be okay?"
"I don't know, but there is something about that Doctor that I trust. He'll protect her. I'm sure of it."
The two continued to pick the chairs and tables up in the sub station as dusk was approaching. Both of them had worries, but didn't want to tell the other. They would just have to trust this Doctor that came flying in their lives a few hours ago.
So Alex can hear the TARDIS. That shows how much the TARDIS likes her and is connected with her.
