When The Time Comes
"Here we are.", Rose mentions as they fall in the middle of the city. The small street is abandoned and she believes that no one saw them appearing. Although, they did make quite a noise, "London."
Roger looks around, "It looks exactly the same."
The Doctor nods, "It's a parallel London. Exactly the same as your London, but only a little bit different."
"It can't be exactly the same if it's a little bit different.", Roger replies.
"Well-", the Doctor searches for an explanation, "Oh, shut up."
Rose laughs, "What now?", she asks, "We didn't really plan this, now, did we?"
The Doctor smiles, "That never stopped us before.", he grins and Rose smiles back.
"Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Rose Tyler?", they hear a voice behind them. She immediately recognises the accent. Rose turns around and Jack sweeps her into a hug, "Doctor.", Jack gives the Doctor a nod, a smile spreading on his face, "Where's the old girl?", he asks about the TARDIS.
"We're not in the past, Jack.", Rose replies, "We came from the parallel universe. This is the metacrisis Doctor."
"Only one heart.", the Doctor fills in, "I grow old. I die."
Jack looks at them, his face showing confusion, "But what are you doing here? I thought travel through parallel universes was impossible?"
"That's the problem.", Rose answers, "It was impossible. But something's wrong. The cracks have been reopened. Paradoxes are happening all over the universe. Aliens and other creatures are attacking."
Jack looks around, "Well, everything seems to be peaceful he-"
Bam!
They turn around.
Bam!
Another hit.
Bam!
"Doctor, what's going on?", Roger yells out, trying to be louder than the noise.
Bam!
"It seems that things aren't so peaceful after on, Jack.", the Doctor replies.
Jack turns to Roger, "Captain Jack Harkness. I believe we haven't met."
"Roger Callum."
Jack smiles, "Hello there, Roger."
"Save the flirting for later, Jack.", the Doctor yells out as an alien ship appears in the sky, "Where are we?", he turns to Rose.
"How the hell would I know?"
The Doctor pauses, "Wait. I know this street. Sarah Jane! Her house! Lets go, now!", he says and they start running.
Jack smiles, "Seems like we got a plan."
"Doctor!", Mickey Smith calls out, "You might wanna see this."
The television was turned up as the reporters voice filled the room. The Doctors slowly walked into a room and didn't bother to take a seat on the couch which already held Mickey and both the Ponds.
"What's wrong?", Ten asks.
Amy turns to him, "Just listen."
"The Earth is under attack. I repeat, the Earth is under attack.", the reporter announced as the cameraman zoomed into the air above him, which was filling with different spaceships. Something wasn't quite right, though, as some of them kept disappearing and other reappearing - even as they were flying at maximum speed. One even crashed into the Big Ben, although it disappeared before it hit the clock, only to appear again at the same position - flying into the Big Ben. Then disappearing. Like it was on a loop.
Mickey changes the channel.
"A large number of alien ships are occupying London."
Mickey changes the channel once again.
"An alien ship has crashed into the White House. The president and family are safe, bu-"
Nine takes the remote from Mickey ("Hey!") and changes the channel. A ship landing, crushing stores and people under it. Noises follow and they see a group running, "It can't be.", Nine comments as he recognises one of the people, "How can you be over there?", he turns to Ten, pointing at the television screen.
Ten puts on his glasses, "Where?"
Amy takes the remote and pauses the screen.
"It can do that?", Nine asks.
Amy shakes her head, "Where have you been living? Under a rock?"
"Sorry if I tend to forget things. Lots of stuff to remember in nine hundred years of life, you know."
Eleven sighs, "I was so young."
Rory shrugs, "And you had a goofy face."
Nine turns to him, "Oh, look who's talking."
"Oi!", Ten yells, "Can we focus for a second?", everyone goes quiet, "Thank you."
"That's the metacrisis Doctor, isn't it?", Mickey suggests, "The one that stayed in the parallel world with Rose?"
Ten takes off his glasses and nods, "Yeah."
"Who's Rose?", Nine asks.
Eleven answers, "You'll meet her soon enough. I can't tell you more than that."
"Spoilers.", Amy adds in a sing-a-long voice.
"River.", Ten and Eleven exclaim suddenly.
Before they could say anything else, Rory cuts them off, "Where are they going?", he asks, pointing at the television.
"I don't know.", Eleven answers.
Ten turns to Eleven, "Everyone somewhat important in our lives is here. They'll come."
Amy then realises why they mentioned River, "Then why isn't River here?"
Clyde runs into the room before any of the Doctors can answer Amy's question.
"Clyde, what's wrong?", Martha asks as she runs into the room, a phone to her ear. After she gave Lee some sedatives so the girl - or whatever she was - could catch some sleep, she made a call to Torchwood and was talking to them in the other room, but went out because of the noise Clyde made running into the house.
"You might want to look outside."
Martha goes to the closest window.
"Oh my God.", the phone drops from her hand to the floor.
"What's wrong?", Eleven asks Clyde, his look filled with concern.
"The opposite street. I's filled with some kind of statues. They weren't here when I left.", Clyde explains, taking a seat, "I ran inside as fast as I could."
Amy comes from behind Martha, and her eyes spread out of fear as she looks out. The statues are standing there, their hands hiding their faces. Their cruel, scary faces. There's five of them. Just standing there. People passing by - more like running - and no one is acknowledging them. Amy doesn't know what scares her more; them being there, or that none of the dozens of people that walked past have been taken by them.
"Doctor. The Angels.", she says, her voice lightly shaking as she tries not to blink, "They're on the other side of the street.", she turns to them as Martha keeps her eyes set out the window, "They're coming."
The three Doctors look to each other. Suddenly, realisation falls upon them.
"The TARDIS!"
