Chapter 7 is here, chapter 8 on its way soon
It was a magnificent sight that beheld us as we walked through the door of the TARDIS. An orange/yellow glow illuminated the walls and it felt like the light was pulsating like a heartbeat. There was a gentle hum emitting thought the room, giving us reassurance and hope, strange things to be coming from a machine.
"Yes, this is the TARDIS and yes, it is bigger on the inside," the Doctor called out as we entered. He was running around a central column which had panels of switches, levers and other weird looking things strewn all over it.
"Come over to the screen," he said as he swung it around to face him.
We walked over and looked at what he was showing us. It was almost like a CCTV piece and the main person being looked at was...
"That's me!" Wally said. "That's when I had my accident, why are you showing us that?"
"Because this is the CCTV footage from the TARDIS, this is when we took a bit of a bumpy ride and came crashing through the time stream in that lab, causing the accident which gave you those abilities."
Suddenly the screen started to go a bit weird with static starting to show on it. The Doctor gave it a good hit or two, but it remained on the static. He began fiddling with a few switches and buttons, trying to get the screen back working.
"There is a transmission coming through, but the poor girl is having a hard time in receiving the signal."
He kept tweaking the dials and hitting the screen to try and get the signal through. Suddenly the screen lit up and a load of weird symbols flew around, none of them making any sense to me.
However the Doctor must have known what they meant because his face fell as he read them, from happiness, to sadness and then to anger.
"What is it?" Donna asked.
"It's a ransom note, a very long and demanding ransom note."
The Doctor turned a few more knobs and pressed a couple of buttons, trying to work out what exactly the ransom note was for.
"Earth, your mighty warrior has fallen and so has his companion, now you have lost your defence, we will move in, if you surrender, we will give you back your hero alive, but if you fight against us, he will die. You have three hours," the Doctor read out.
"Who is this hero bloke?" Donna asked.
"I'm not sure exactly, but I have a pretty good idea who it is," he said looking at me.
"No, you don't mean," I started. "You can't mean no no no no no." The realisation hit me.
"I'm so sorry Jason, I think that is exactly who they mean."
"What are you talking about, what's wrong?" Donna asked.
"Donna have you ever heard tales from over in America of a man who is able to fly and has powers which he uses to help people and that recently he has appeared over the skies of London?"
"No, I avoid the news."
"You mean you didn't see him that day the London eye almost fell in the Thames?"
"I was in Spain relaxing on a beach."
"Donna, you really are missing the big picture here."
"Sorry, but I have a question?" I said.
"Yes, sorry, you want to know what are we going to do about your dad?"
I nodded.
"Well we need to trace back the feed to the source and start from there," the Doctor said as he started to press buttons. "But first, we need to pay a little visit to some friends of mine."
With that, the TARDIS shuddered into life and the central column started to rise and fall. A noise that sounded like wheezing filled the room and we seemed to be off.
