6. And a Whole Lot of Running

A/N: 3 chapters all up in one day? :O I guess I'm just eager to finish this story. Read on for the finale.

Before the Silurians could shoot, the Eleventh yelled out, "Wait!"

The Silurians relaxed their guns and the leader said, "Yees?" emphasising the word.

"Um...uh...there are a couple of things you should know about the TARDIS before you try to pilot it..."

The eleventh began to ramble on about all sorts of engine details and calibration errors, while the Tenth put a plan that he had been working on for the past few minutes into action.

He slowly, without alerting his guard, fetched the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket. He then coughed loudly and, at the same time, used it to unlock Nasreen's chains. Nasreen felt this on the other side and looked at the Tenth for guidance. He signalled with his head, a rock on the floor and then the Silurian leader. Nasreen received this instruction and, picking up the rock, smashed it over the Silurian leaders head.

The Eleventh's guard immediately jumped to attention, firing a laser bolt out of his gun. Nasreen barely ducked in time and it hit a control panel behind her.

It sparked and an electronic voice rang out. "Warning. Gravitational device active. Ten minutes until base destruction."

The whole base began to shake and the guards fell to the floor. The Eleventh grabbed Nasreen and the Tenth grabbed Rose and they ran, as the base began to crumble.

"What's happening?" yelled Nasreen, as they ran.

"The gravitational pull has been activated. They're pulling the earth down! They're going to crush the city!" the Eleventh yelled back.

Halfway down the corridor, the Tenth Doctor spotted a blue box, standing against the wall.

"Oh! There's mine!" he said, taking out his key. He opened the door and Rose ran inside. He gestured inside again for the Eleventh and Nasreen.

"Don't worry! We'll take mine! See you on the surface!"

The Tenth smiled and stepped into his TARDIS, shutting the door. The Eleventh and Nasreen heard the familliar grindin sound as they ran.

Suddenly, Nasreen stopped in her tracks.

"We've got to get Tony!" she said, staring at the Doctor. He nodded and they sped off down a different corridor. They reached a room with two cryo pods, one was open and the other had been smashed open. Tony was lying on the floor, unconscious.

The blue box was standing between the pods, the falling debris getting closer and closer to it.

"Oh, they moved it. How lucky! Quick, let's get him in."

The Doctor and Nasreen picked up Tony, putting him down on the floor. The Doctor ran to the TARDIS and pulled a lever, which immediately sent the TARDIS rocketing upwards.

They crashed around for what seemed like hours, until the TARDIS came to a gentle stop. The Doctor ran to the doors and opened it, stepping out into the light. Nasreen followed him, staring at this brand new world. The Doctor and Rose were already there, looking down at the confused villagers, who were staring at a very large hole in the middle of the pavement.

The Tenth looked at the Eleventh and said, "I'm sorry you couldn't finish it."

The Eleenth replied, "Last time, it was the Humans who weren't ready for them. This time it was the other way round. Still, at least I tried."

"What the hell?" came a voice from behind. They all turned to see Toby standing there, looking dazed.

"Toby!" chirped the Doctor, walking up to him.

"How's your one thousand year sleep been? I see you're all better now!"

"Wha-? What is this?"

"It's our home, Toby. Our little village in Wales but a thousand years on. We can start a new life here!" said Nasreen, rubbing Toby's shoulder.

"That's right. So go and experience it together! Off you go!" And with that, the Eleventh gave Toby a little push, as he and Nasreen walked into the crowd together.

The Eleventh looked back at Rose and the Tenth, who were giving him quizzical looks. The Eleventh responded with, "It's a long story."

There was another short pause before the Tenth said, "Well, best be off. Planets to save, species to save and lots of running! Nice meeting you."

And with that, he disappeared into the TARDIS. Rose was about to follow him, when she hesitated and instead, ran up to the Eleventh Doctor.

"So...where am I? By the time you've regenerated."

The Eleventh paused, as if someone had punched a dagger through his heart. He could tell Rose what happens. He could tell her to not let go of the magno-clamp and save his past self the pain of losing her. But he decided against it.

Forcing back the tears, he replied, "You're safe. And happy. With Mickey and Jackie. All the people you love."

Rose smiled back and walked to the TARDIS, waving to him and then disappearing inside, shut the door. The Eleventh watched the blue box fade away and then entered his own.

He crossed to the console and, smiling, set off for 1974. For Amy Pond.

A/N: Phew! That's this story over and done with! Just kidding. I love writing all my stories. My next one will probably be one with Barry, my character from Terror in the Classroom, as suggested by 'Sarcasm-the Lowest Form of Wit'. Keep an eye out and may all your time(travels) be good! :D
