Chapter 7
The Doctor stared down out the barrel of the Sontarans gun. Silently he pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He extended it and was about to raise it up to disable the Sontaran's weapon, but Zar noticed the sonic and lowered his weapon and shot the screwdriver. It exploded and the Doctor's hand was burned. The Doctor screamed in pain and held his hurt hand with the other. He glared at Commander Zar and said, "That was my second screwdriver destroyed in two days. Someone's going to get their ass kicked."
"That would be good, Doctor," said Zar. Zar raised his weapon to the Doctor's head.
A transport beam appeared next to Zar and General Styre was left behind. He saw Zar's weapon aimed at the Doctor, "Zar! Put the weapon down."
"General, he knows of our plans," said Zar.
"I figured he would find out our plans. He's too intelligent and cunning to be ignorant forever."
"Thank you, Styre," said the Doctor, "Oh, God, I just thanked a Sontaran."
"But is your physical strength as powerful as your mental strength?" asked Styre.
"Is that a challenge?" asked the Doctor.
"Do you accept?" asked Styre.
The Doctor smiled. He pushed the podium over and sat on its side. "I must warn you. I have fought several Sontarans before and won all those encounters."
"Your physical structure is weaker and more frail than that of Sontarans," said Zar, "You could not have been able to defeat Sontarans. You are lying."
"Am I? The humans and I may look alike but we are completely different. I am stronger and more durable than a human being," said the Doctor as he took a yellow bandana out of his pocket and wrapped it around his injured hand.
"I'll challenge you to a fight," said Zar.
Alex and Harper followed the Doctor in without him knowing. Harper had been reluctant but didn't want to wait anywhere alone with Sontarans running the school. Harper sat down on a chair in the back.
"Harper, come on," whispered Alex.
"No, Alex, this is as far as I am going."
"Gah, okay," said Alex. She walked to the curtain and peaked around it just as the Doctor did earlier. She saw the Doctor knock over the podium and sit on it. She smiled at that, but the smile was gone as soon as she heard the conversation about the Doctor fighting a Sontaran. She saw him take out a yellow bandana and she shook her head. "Yellow? Again?"
Alex took out her wand and was ready to use it against the Sontarans, but she didn't know what to do. There were too many targets. She raised her wand, but she saw the Doctor look at her.
"I wouldn't do that," said the Doctor.
Alex put her wand away and just watched.
The Doctor glanced up and saw Alex take out her wand.
"I'll challenge you to a fight," Zar.
"I wouldn't do that," said the Doctor. He was talking to Alex, but that also was a good reply to Zar.
"I'll decide on what I can and cannot do," said Zar.
"I decide what you can and cannot do on this planet," said the Doctor, "Did you forget that this is a Class 5 planet?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Commander Zar.
"You'll find out," said the Doctor, "And how did you make the crowd be silent and do nothing?"
"Threatened their lives," said Zar, "One of the adults tried to stop us and was killed. That's why none of them are doing anything."
After a while of silence, the Doctor moved his attention from Zar to Styre, "Now, Styre, what is all this planning to take down the Sontaran War Council."
"We will not obliterate the War Council. We will just replace it with more strong-willed Sontarans. The War Council has grown soft with the treatment of the war against the Rutan filth. I won't be in denial. We have lost the upper hand and the blame lies on the War Council. I have seen the error of there ways and I will change them."
"Who will you be? Supreme General Styre?" asked the Doctor.
"Yes, and Zar will be an elite general," said Styre, "But unlike Supreme General Hakh, I will lead the charge against the Rutans in every major battle. I will not sit back and be a coward like they are now. I will win the war against the Rutans at any cost!"
The Doctor nodded and applauded, "That was very passionate, but the war will last at least another 20,000 years. Twenty thousand years. That is sickening."
"You may not see battle as honorable," said Styre, "But the Sontarans do. You have no idea what battle is."
The Doctor's expression changed. His jaw clenched. His nostrils flared and his eyes blazed with anger. He stood up and walked slowly to Styre. "I don't know what battle is? Are you serious? I am a Time Lord. I know what battle is. I know what war is. I have been in a war that you couldn't even imagine. I fought an enemy that could wipe out the Sontarans without any problem at all. I come from a race that could erase you out of existence. Now picture those two races fighting across all of time and space. The Time War. The war were the almighty Time Lords and Daleks fought across all Creation and time itself. You cannot say that I have no idea what a battle is. I lost everyone and everything in that war. Now you may or may not become the Supreme General of the Sontaran War Council, but I am the Lord President of Gallifrey. Actually, I am the Lord High President of Gallifrey. I am only the second Lord President to get that title. Only Rassilon had that title until I received it!"
The Doctor was standing right in front of the Sontaran and glared down at him. General Styre didn't flinch, but realized that he crossed the line with the Doctor. Even though he was a Sontaran, he was still nervous. He never saw the Doctor before this, but he heard the stories of the Time Lord. The one who slaughtered his own race to save all Creation. He didn't think of that until the Doctor's rant about the Last Great Time War.
"You crossed the line," the Doctor said. He turned around and saw that the Judoon should get there within the hour. The Doctor's anger was roused and he wasn't going to hold it down this time. The Doctor swung around and sucker punched Styre in the face. Styre wasn't expecting that. He was thrown off balance for a minute. Before Styre could gain his balance, he was clocked again by the Doctor.
Zar came in and plowed the Doctor over. The Doctor jumped up and was smacked in the face and stomach by Zar. The Doctor fell over. His nose was broken and he coughed up blood. The Doctor struggled to sit up. He sat up and looked Zar in the face and noticed that Styre was bleeding around on of the eyes and out of the mouth. He looked back at Zar and glared him down.
"Did you really think you could defeat a Sontaran in a fight?" asked Zar, "You think your a strong man do you?"
"No, I think I'm adorable," said the Doctor, "And all sorts of marvelous."
Zar laughed and turned around to look at the guards in the back. The Doctor dropped the charade and stood up. He walked over to Zar and punched Zar's probic vent. The Sontaran went down like two tons of bricks. "And I'm a good actor."
The Doctor turned back to Styre, "You shouldn't have crossed the line, Styre."
"You've got some power behind that arm of yours," said Styre, "You were right about you being stronger that a human."
"Yeah, but Sontarans do have powerful everything," said the Doctor. He collapsed on the stage. Blood continued to drip from the Doctor's mouth and nose.
Alex watched as the Doctor and Styre talk to each other. She couldn't make out most of what the two were saying, but she did understand some of it. Then the Doctor was offended by something Styre said and went on a rant about the Time War that the Doctor told her about several months ago. She jumped when she saw the Doctor punch Styre once and then a second time. She gasped and tried to run out when Zar leveled the Doctor, but Harper pulled her back. She fell to the ground, but kept watching and listening. She smiled as the Doctor said he adorable and all sorts of marvelous. She lit up more when the Doctor stood up and knocked Zar out, but was crushed when the Doctor collapsed. Before she could stop herself, she ran out to the Doctor.
Alex faded in and out as she ran to the Doctor. Her illusion was broken and the Sontarans could see her. Without thinking, Alex took out her wand and blasted all the Sontarans' guns.
"Alex, what were you thinking?" asked the Doctor. He stood up behind Alex, "You shouldn't have come."
"But you were..."
"Beat up. I figured that would happen. I knew it would happen to me and I didn't want it to happen to you or Harper. That's why I didn't want you two to follow me. Okay?"
"Sorry, I didn't know, Doctor."
"That's okay," said the Doctor. Something shrieked from the Doctor's pocket. He took out his iPhone thing and he smiled. "Here they are?"
"Who?" asked Styre.
"Remember when I said that this is a Class 5 planet?" asked the Doctor.
"Yes," said Styre.
"The Judoon are here," said the Doctor.
"What?" asked Styre. He checked with his ship and his ship confirmed there were two Judoon ships in orbit. One was on one side of the Sontaran ship and one was on the other side. "Every one get back to the ship!"
Several Sontarans flashed out, but then no more could teleport. "What's going on?" asked a guard.
"The Judoon are blocking your teleports," said the Doctor.
Earth Orbit
The two Judoon ship's opened fire on the Sontaran ship. The Sontarans were off guard and could scramble their fighters in time before their shield started to fail. The two Judoon ships blasted the Sontaran ship out of orbit and into millions of pieces. Most of them fell down to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere.
Tribeca Prep
The stage flashed brightly and Judoon soldiers appeared. Most ran out and started to arrest the Sontarans. The Judoon leader took off his helmet and was just like the rhino man that the Doctor talked to the previous day. The Doctor explained what was going on and the Judoon understood. Zar woke up and stared down the Doctor before noticing the two Judoon soldiers standing behind the Doctor. Zar was tackled and was arrested.
The Doctor walked and picked the podium back up. He tapped the microphone. Alex did a little spell and the microphone started working. The Doctor went onto explain the events going on behind him. "Okay this school was just taken over by the Sontarans who are now being arrested by the police force of the universe, the Judoon. The stick thing Alex Russo was using was a sonic wand that I invented myself, and I am an alien. Your art teacher is an alien. I don't know what to add to that except I don't look human. You look Time Lord. We were around first. And I don't know how strange this looks. I mean your school was taken over by an army of Mr. Potato Heads and your art teacher is revealed to be an alien. Your art teacher also gets beat up by another group of aliens. Then Alex Russo appears out of thin air and waves around a stick thing. Then rhino people show up and arrest the potato heads. Yeah, that's weird and I have no idea how that looks from the audience. Oh and don't run out of the auditorium until the rhino people are gone. Trust me, running will get you killed."
The Doctor moved away from the podium and saw the Judoon taking Styre away. He told Styre, "I win, Sontaran. I win."
The lead Judoon walked up to the Doctor and told him, "Styre will be put onboard the Judoon prison ship Folo Moro Toro along with his second, Commander Zar. The underlings will taken care of."
"I understand. Shadow Proclamation law," said the Doctor.
The Judoon didn't reply and all of the Judoon and prisoners vanished.
Harper and Alex were now both next to the Doctor.
"Well that was fun," said the Doctor, "I need to go and nurse my broken ribs and nose."
"Your ribs are broken," said Alex, worried.
"I got punched by a Sontaran's full strength. I'm surprised my back ain't broken. Let's go home," said the Doctor, "I'm pretty sure school is canceled for the day."
"I believe your right my alien buddy," said Laritate as he walked onboard the stage as the students and faculty poured out of the auditorium, "Well I got to get the paper work done on this rodeo." Laritate walked off.
"Let's go home," said the Doctor. He slowly walked off and Alex and Harper followed behind, "A piece of advice to both of you: Don't ever get punched by a Sontaran anywhere."
Alex and Harper laughed as the Doctor continued to limp along. The two ran next two the Doctor and he put his arms around their shoulders as they walked off.
The End
