Chapter 07: Story Time

The streets were in a panic as Kami raced back to the Tardis. The whole world was in a panic and had every right to be. The sky had turned black and now there were space ships over Japan if no one noticed the giant masked the day before they would certainly notice that. Kami silently wondered how long until the armed forces of UNIT got involved. If anything this attack just showed her how petty Shadow could be. He was attacking their friends just for the hell of it and getting the world caught in the cross fire just for fun. If that wasn't enough Shadow dragged her daughter away.

Kami was in a words pissed.

And worried she was sure people were going to get hurt.

Kami reached the Tardis door and pushed her way in. Inside was the room that everyone eventually described as bigger on the inside because it was. The box itself seemed only big enough to hold two people but inside was a room about size of a house and there was far more just past the room. The Tardis was a world to itself and most of it was alive.

The room was metal-y and filled with dark blue light. In the center stood the round control console and the pillar in the middle was filled with light and it was the time rotor.

The Doctor stood by the console fiddling with the controls. "Eu, went off to get something from further in the Tardis. A part was damaged and I'm having the Tardis tree build it and bring it here."

The Doctor bolted from the controls and down the stairs to the section before and started to mess with the wires and open parts up.

"That's the thing, the Tardis was barely working when this all started and now the walls of the dimensions start falling in and we have to cross the barriers into the Abstract. Its like trying to cross the Ocean during a tsunami while trying to avoid a reef!" The Doctor's annoyance at the situation was very vocal.

"Can you get us there?" Kami asked him.

"Yes, it's not impossible Shadow certainly seemed to be able to do it. I think he's using some sort of dark matter. Its the stiff that gravity is made off it twists light around him giving that dark look and with the right tweaking bend space around him. If he has enough control he should be able to open a small portal to get through." He turned to the woman who'd followed him down. "I promise we will go and get your daughter."

Kami looked at him. She knew he wasn't perfect and he had made similar promises before and failed to keep them but he would try even if it cost him his life.

"I'm sorry." Kami told him.

"For what?"

"For slapping you earlier."

"Oh, right, that stung." He rubbed his face at the memory of the pain.

"I'm angry at you still."

"You know why I don't visit and-"

"No, it about your death. You should never let anyone think you're dead."

"I know I think you left that message in my face with your slap."

"You will die Doctor." Kami voice was deadly serious. "I know it, Eu knows it and despite the best effort to hide it you know might be the Eleventh Doctor but we both know that this is your 12th regeneration. Jack told me about the Meta-Crisis and I know about the nameless a warrior of the Time War. You are out of lives, out continues and when this one goes you will die."

The Doctor refused to look at her as she spoke. "How long have you known?"

"Long enough and I know about Trenzalore."

His blood grew cold at the name, "Of course you know."

"No one escapes this forever, Doctor."

"I've been running so long and I just don't know how to deal with it. My death is coming and I won't be able to bounce back or do something clever."

"Don't then. You helped me once so let me help you now." Kami told him with a kind tone. "I'm going to die one day and I'm okay with that. I haven't done everything I've wanted and I haven't done everything perfectly but I don't see the point of living forever. Just do what you can and let the rest stand for itself. Make the most of what you have now. You've lost a lot but don't lose what you still have. On one terrible day you lost your world, your friends and your family. You can never replace that, there is lying about that fact, but you have this world and Tardis as your home still. You have friends like Jack and Clara. And she might not be your biological daughter but Eu thinks of you as her father. If you keep trying to run away you might leave every one of us behind. Stop and enjoy what you have because as long as you can live that fear of outliving us now doesn't seem so bad when your end is coming. What I think would be terrible, especially for you, is meeting that end all alone just because you ran away from us."

There was silence. The Doctor understood what she was saying. If he tried to stay alive by running away and hidden from the Universe he would die alone because he too would hide from those who loved him.

"I'm an idiot."

"Yes, you are." Kami chuckled seeing him get the message.

That was when the heard the metal foots of Eu carrying what looked like a metal pod that was as big as her torso. The Doctor smiled and hugged the girl.

"I'm sorry I haven't seen you in a while." The Doctor had been a father and a grandfather but he lost all that during a war, a war only he could and it broke his heart. He was sure not to let that happen again to his children even an adopted one.

They would start to put in the replacement part.

In a world far away a story was just starting to be told.

"My Legend began in the 12th Century. That was merely my legend and not my life. I was born a time well before that. How I came to be is beyond my own recollection. I, like Eibon and Death am not ordinary. We are not bound by the same limited lives as yours. I do not understand how I came to be nor do I know if Eibon knows where he came from or if Death knew whence he game. Perhaps its better for that knowledge to remain unknown. I was not the dashing and prime example of all things that I am now. It was at the start of the Grim Times when chaos reigned over the world. Before Eibon based his weapon designs on myself and my own abilities and before the Heretic witch stole those plans and created the first demon weapons. It was the Time of Camelot and the time that would forever change my life."

Excalibur let out a sigh as he told his story.

"I was a rough youth with a wispy beard and wandered through the forest without aim. I saw no difference in that action than any action I had taken before or for that matter how any one lives their life.I saw no reason. I was cast out of every village and town, people were enraged by my mere presence and so I became a pariah. I thought that was my lot in life, I was a weapon and for all that I could do my very nature meant that I was meant to hurt and kill. Maybe people were enraged by the thought of what I could do as I was only a reflection of themselves. After all a weapon is nothing if not wielded. I still can't say if I had aim but sometimes I wondered if is some level I went into that forest without food or water with the hopes of ending my misery. For what is a life lived if only to be enrage."

Excalibur stared off into the opened space him and it seemed like the events played before his eyes and if only for him.

"I don't know how long I went without nutriment but I felt my body grow weaker. Maybe I didn't wish to die or maybe I was so weak that I didn't dare fight my need but I searched for was when I saw a purest and clearest lake. I reached for it in desperate need for water when my weakened body fell. I was mere inches from drinking the water I needed to survive but failed to move. I dare say that was my darkest hour, or it was at the time. I could barely open my eyes to watch the lake before me as I felt my breath leave me. I remember very clearly whispering, 'Water' as my eyes began to close."

He paused probably for dramatic effect.

"Maybe I wanted to live. I can't say anything for certain except that I didn't die. I opened my eyes as someone pushed me onto my back. It was young maiden, a girl with long silvery hair. Her hair was wet and she wore armor. My first guess was that she had come out of the water and found me. The next act she did was likely the kindest act anyone had done to me in my life thus far. She cupped her hands and brought me water and slowly poured it into my mouth. I was more grateful than I had been in my entire life. My body had been injured from attack and still weak so I could not express my gratitude. That was when she took off one of gauntlets and held out hand over my body. Bright purple energy collected in the palm of her hand and this magic healed me. All my wounds vanished and I felt my strength return to me. I couldn't help but ask why she had healed me."

Excalibur really did seem confused even now after centuries of time.

"She pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down words in symbols I couldn't decipher. But then as if by some all compelling force they changed before my eyes into a language I could understand. The message was simple: 'You were hurt and I help you. Though I need any other reason other than that.' In all the life times I have lived those silent words have had more impact than most so many and continue to do so. For the first time someone had shown me kindness."

A tear seemed to form at the corner of his eye.

"That was when. Arthur, a young man at the time without his beard or the wisdom of the king he would become. He called out 'Vivian? There you are? Merlin and Nimue were worried that you had gotten lost.' After a moment she wrote to him and explained to him what had happened. I told him, 'This Lady of the Lake healed me.' He looked upon my sorry state and looked on with concern, 'Let's take you back. Nimue calls Merlin Doctor and I am sure he can help. What is your name, stranger?' I looked at him and said, 'Excalibur' to him merely replied 'I am Arthur Pendragon.' And so I met the man who would be my meister and best friend."

He paused to let that all sink in and didn't look at his audience. "He took me to his father's kingdom and introduced me to others. Merlin was a tall skinny man in a brown suit. Nimue a beautiful young woman with a fierce look in her eyes better suited for a warrior than a maiden. Then he introduced me to sister Morgaine or Morgan for short."

He shook his head as to try to clear his memories.

"Morgan was a witch but despite all the evil witches had done she tried to be good. I had hoped she could. Arthur truly had a noble spirit and he brought the best in others. He offered me his kindness and his home and I in return shared with him my power. Together we were to defend Camelot and make it Utopia in those dark times. We would become champion of Lord Death to try and bring order to our part of the World. Merlin would come and go. His face would change and sometimes Nimue and Vivian would be with him. Sometimes others would accompany him. He was the master of time and events didn't always go in the right order with him. Over there visits Morgan formed a bond with Nimue. Merlin would give advice to Arthur as he took the throne. Vivian would play in the crisp lake she adored and would help get fairies of the forest to join Camelot. Then darkness fell over Morgan."

Excalibur paused but not effect this time, a catch was in his throat.

"I still remember her in her youth. A sweet kind girl who played with fairies in the field but over time her power corrupted her. She learned magic from the fairies. Merlin has thought her about other worlds. She desired power and throne. She wanted her son to take the throne and broke the kingdom of Britain into a civil war. She conquered another world and brought and army from it to gain the throne."

Excalibur remembered the moment before the last battle. He stood with Arthur over looking the field of battle. Arthur sounded nervous, so unlike him but looking back he wondered if Arthur had known about his death.

"Merlin was there with another face, long light brown hair and daring cravat or possible scarf I'm not really sure what one call those. Nimue was by his side. I was hopping it was an omen of out victory but it was not. It was the Battle of Camlann and it would shatter Camelot and turn the world on its side. The heaven cried red tears and storms carried off the dead. Morgaine used her bond with Nimue and lured her away from the battle. She used her magic to twist her mind and use her to trick Merlin into a trap. Morgaine incased Merlin crystal and left Nimue to die. That was when I lost all hope in saving Morgan. She pitted her son Mordered against Arthur and they fought. In the end I was not strong enough and Arthur fell. Nimue barely alive managed to free Merlin with her own power. She dragged him back into his ship that sails the winds of time. Camelot was in ruin and we had all lost. If anything I could protect Arthur's body, I planned to stay by his side until I died. That was when Merlin again with a different form, once more with the brown suit and Nimue and Vivian arrived. They used one of Morgan ships and plunged it into the lake. They moved Arthur resting place into the ship and pulled me away and placed a false sword. Nimue and Vivian moved the ship, engulfed it with light and sunk into the lake. Merlin said it would go to another lake out of reach of Morgan. After that I was to live without Arthur. For centuries I was to live. Years passed and one day I met Nimue again but younger. She sought me out not to wield me like other had but just to talk. She became friends with me and would visit me, I knew the pain she would experience and know I couldn't tell of it. She would have to go back and live through it. Though sometimes I do come here just to bother her ex-husband. Fool! The very definition of a fool to toss such a woman to the side and to dare break her heart."

The Old One of rage started to sound angry.

He calmed down, "Today, they will gather. I know it, I feel it in my soul. My unique nature inspired the creation of the demon weapons, my weakness let Arthur die and Camelot fall. My friends are coming to fight a storm of epic scale and I will help them. Maybe in a small way I can make up for my failures."

Excalibur looked upon the dark Death City as the sound of people panic came to the top steps of the school.

"Okay," the small voice of the young witch Angela who was the only one there poked the sword. "Can I play with your stick?"

"It's called a cane and no."

"Oh, come on funny face let me play with it."

"It's not a toy."

"Angela!" Nygus dressed in bandages called over the girl. "It's dangerous here. Go back into the evacuation Center. Kilik is there with Thunder and Fire why don't you go play with them."

"Okay, Miss Nygus." Angela smiled before heading off inside paused and turned back to Excalibur. "Bye Bye Mister Funny face."

Excalibur watched her leave, "She's a witch, isn't she?"

"Yes." Nygus was curt. "Is that a problem?"

"No, I wish you better luck. I hope that kindness in her eyes doesn't fade." Excalibur said in all sincerity. "Prepare for battle I fear the heavens will bleed."

"Kid want to see us in the Death Room." Nygus told him.

With that they headed to the room for a meeting that would likely have a huge impact.

Okay, back in the Tardis they had managed to put the replacement part in but the Tardis was still not going.

"Come on old girl." The Doctor pushed the lever.

"Please." Kami begged the machine. "He has Maka, my daughter. I'm sure you know her. You randomly dropped the Doctor to the hospital when I gave birth to her. I know you are hurt but please I need to go to here. I need to protect her. I know you know that feeling, you always protect the Doctor. You've always tried to protect me or Eu or any of the Doctor's companions. You know how I feel, you know how desperate I am to save her. I can't do that unless you help. So please!"

As to answer her please the center time rotor was filled with light and started to rise and fall as the ship began to move.

The Doctor took the controls and Kami whispered, "Thank you."

The sound of grinding filled the ship as it traveled far away in a short time.

In the Death Room Kid gathered with his weapons, the witches and his advisors.

The Witch Judge told Kid some dire news, "The Witches Realm has gone dark too. Whatever is happening is spreading."

"Then it seems Morgan's Prophecy was correct." Excalibur put it Grimly.

Vworp. Vworp. Vworp. Vworp.

"Anyone else hear a sound like a broken toilet?" Patty asked the room in general.

The wall cracked and a large blue box came spinning in before skidding to a stop near the mirror. Everyone had flinched afraid that it was going to hit them. That is everyone except Excalibur.

The door swung open and the Doctor stepped out, "Sorry about that. The wall came out of nowhere but let's just say we're both at fault."

"What happened?" Kid asked him as Liz cowered behind him.

Kami and Eu joined him outside.

"Doctor, Kami and Eucliwood." Excalibur happily greeted them. He knew them better as Merlin, Nimue and Vivian the Lady of the Lake but he knew those were only the names they used in Camelot.

Hello Excalibur.

Eu held out her notepad.

"My lady." Excalibur tipped his hat to her.

The Doctor quickly ducked back into his ship.

"What is going on?" Kid repeated himself. "Report!"

"Watch your tone, Kid." Kami told him. "I don't work for you. Anyway, since the last time I talked to you we found out someone named Shadow is behind all this. Not sure what he is but has some sort of strange shadow like ability. He's working with a witch named Pallas."

"Pallas?" The Judge Witch reacted to that name and the Head Witch Squealed to it too.

"Does that name sound familiar?" Kid couldn't help questioning that.

The Judge Witch explained, "Pallas was a witch that went rouge and left the Witch's Realm after being very vocal about the new alliance between the Witches and DWMA."

Kid didn't like the sound of that, he had certain known the school hadn't always been favored by the witches and he even had reports of some of them not being for the alliance but didn't image one would hate them enough to join forces with someone who had put everything in danger.

"He's got an army." Kami added trying to put everything back on track. "He's attacking the other world's Tokyo."

Stein picked up on that, "Yet you're here. Leaving in the middle of an attack doesn't sound like something you'd do."

"It's defended." Kami said. "I tried to cut off his head and he managed to capture Maka and the others."

"What?" Spirit jumped in there. "You let someone capture Maka!"

"You think I let it happen!" Kami shot back. "I would have fought if I could be he dragged them back here."

"Why is that? You still haven't explained this 'Shadow's' goals?" Kid was worried but he tried to focus on what he could do.

"He wants the philosopher's stone. An ancient relic with unimaginable power and he thinks we know where it is."

"Do you?" Kid asked him.

"No, we certainly have encountered it before but-"

"I know how to find him!" The Doctor stepped out of the Tardis with a gun with what looked like it had been put together in a hurry with a small dish. "Kami do you still keep knives hidden in you sleeves?"

"Yes?"

The Doctor reached over and grabbed her and yanked out a knife. The using the knife he cut her finger and collected a drop of blood into a port on the gun like device.

"What was that for?" Kami started to sunk on her finger hopping her saliva would stop it form bleeding.

"It's a basic DNA tracker. You only have one blood relative and that's Maka."

"So, if you can track her using my DNA we will find Shadow since he has her."

"Right." The gun beeped and the Doctor tapped at it before looking at Excalibur. Then he turned to Spirit and walked up to her. "You're her ex right?"

"Yeah?" Spirit wasn't sure what he meant.

"Good." He grabbed the knife and cut Spirits hand and collected the blood.

"Ow!"

"DNA from both parents should help pin things down." The Doctor fiddled with the device. He glanced once more at Spirit before turning back to Kami. "What is it with you and gingers?"

"What? Like you're one to talk." Kami shot back at him. "I don't have a thing."

"Him, Morgaine, Nen-"

"Don't bring up Morgaine!" Anger dripped off her words. "And it's not like everyone I've dated have all been red heads."

"You didn't say anything about Ne-" the device went bing. "Saved by the bell." The Doctor grinned. "Found her."

"We should all go in and get Maka and the others back and deal with this Shadow." Kid stated.

"And we are than happy for the help. Don't blame us from breaking the wall and we call it even." Kami responded to Kid. "Excalibur I want you to stay here with Eu. Keep an eye on the home front so to speak."

Fine!

Eu gave her a slight pout. She knew what could happen with her in battle and thought it was for the best. She just wished she could do something to help her friends.

"Marie." Kami looked over to the hammer. "Please keep an eye on Eucliwood for me."

"Oh, why can't I go?" Marie asked her.

"You're pregnant and showing. No risking the baby and beside you're too far along you won't be able to transform."

"Fine." Marie found it was her turn to pout.

"Stay here and keep my daughter company."

"Wait what?" Marie stared.

"Eu is my daughter, adopted but she's still my daughter."

"I'm starting on my first one how come you get to lap me!"

Kami chuckled and gave a small kiss on the shorter woman's forehead.

Minutes later Shadow was in a warehouse humming to himself. He had sent Pallas off to send a message to some of his agents in a very Harry Potter way. I mean, no one would think twice about seeing an owl when everything had gotten dark.

"If you don't shut up I will shove the chainsaw down your throat." He yelled at Haruna. He had tried to hum her out but he couldn't stand it.

"Just let me out of this and I'll show you who shoves what where." Haruna struggled against the shadows around her.

They had all hung around on the shadow like tendrils around the air above him. They struck out his back and stretched out like branches of a tree.

"Don't make me kill you." Shadow said through gritted teeth. "It will hurt my bargain with those three idiots!"

The door to the ware house crashed open and Kami rolled in like many an action star have done before her and she raised her guns at Shadow.

The Doctor followed with his screwdriver in the air with its tip glowing and the DNA tracker in the other.

"And speak of the devils." Shadow told him. "Minus one. I figure you left her at the Death room."

"Let them go." Kami ordered him.

"No, do you want to shot me? It won't kill me it hurts and ruins this meat suit but it won't end me."

"Meat suit?" The Doctor tilted his head to the term.

"Yeah, a college drop out. His dad ran the company but when he died this fellow took it over. Of course I was already in charge of his body when that happened." Shadow glanced at their angered looks. "Don't worry he wasn't in it anymore he's , he was after that bus hit him. Well, I was driving that bus and maybe these hands smothered his father. Anyway, I got that company and built the array, that you broke, and hired my armies" Shadow spoke so casually. "How about you pay me back for destroying that? I know, you can tell me where the stone is?"

"We don't know where it is?" The Doctor told him.

"Fine, let's see if she knows."

Suddenly to mark his words a portal formed on the wall and Eu slid out.

"I did say all of you, didn't I?" Shadow pointed out. "Last time I ask before I splatter. Where is the stone?"

We don't know.

Eu insisted with her notepad.

"I know you don't know but you are the only one's to know. Let's look back at the last place you saw it. Where does the Stone come from? Tell me a story."

"There was a war." The Doctor had started. "A world with a forgotten name. It was the Dark Times and all the Fledgling empire and travelers gathered to this world because of one man."

Shadow teased, "Oooh, what was his name?"

"Skasis."Kami put away her weapons. "A mad scientist and a king to himself. He figured out how to make himself into a god, with paradigm and dark time science. It takes imagination to crack it but it takes something few ever consider. It takes souls. In one day he sacrificed the souls of everyone in his planet to make a stone. A blood red stone."

The Doctor continued, "Which brought the war and empires. They attacked in full force to destroy him before his evil could spread across the Universe. But it didn't work. He had expected that and planned to drain their bodies and souls to help further power the stone."

Shadow grinned." Yes, bodies helped structure the stone but the minds and souls that was what gave its kick. The power, enough to warp reality itself. Of course you know that, you were on the front lines."

The Doctor spoke in solemn tones, "Yes, the three of us stumbled to the past and tried to help."

Shadow took a turn to tell the story. "You three fought along side the armies of the Empire hopping beyond hope to stop him. Eu took off her armor and used her full power despite the pain. The Doctor made strategies like a general. Kami fought against everything Skasis thought up. In the end it wasn't enough."

"No, only Eu's power along with the Tardis allowed us not to be pulled in. In the end we couldn't do anything. Bra'tac, a captain of the star ship pushed forwards when everyone tried to run. No, he pushed towards the singularity and crashed into Skasis. Maybe it was surprise but it worked. Skasis was the key component to stone."

"He was the sole mind in control of all that power. Skasis was distracted long enough that he lost control and that power feed back and he was engulfed by it." Kami spoke softly. "Part of the stone but it was too late everyone else had died and was absorbed into the stone."

The wide grin on Shadow creeped everyone. "That's not the end of it, is it? What happened next?"

"Things were dangerous." Kami admitted. "The Doctor's life brought danger and that worked up Eu emotions. We parted ways the Doctor continued to travel and I traveled with Eu until she ran into Ayumu. Until she found a home."

"No, do you really expect me to believe you left the stone there?" Shadow stared at Kami and the Doctor down and gauged at their shock. "You erased you memories. You hid the stone and your memories. When you hid it you had your memories wiped by a memory worm or did the Doctor using some Spock like powers? If he had to erase his own it would have to be the worm but he could still edit yours once it was done. Don't you get it Kami! Why have you always been traveling? To mend a broken heart? You heart has been mended, you got issues entering serious relation ships but-"

"What the hell?" Kami yelled. "What is it with people today and my relationships?"

Shadow ignored her, "You kept traveling, why? You were hiding the stone or the only way to find it. If anyone found you had it they have to crisscross the world following you and every place you visited to check it out and to make sure you didn't hide it there. But that's the thing you wouldn't have hidden, you'd carry it every place just letting them follow the wild goose chase. That is unless you thought you couldn't do it anymore. If you thought you might die…. let's say protecting Maka."

"Oh no." Kami gasped.

"If you died the secret location would die with you but if you survived you'd just have to erase your memories. Now, the question is where would you hide it?"

"Does it matter?" Kami questioned him. "I would have thought of somewhere great and if I did erase my memories I don't know."

"It's obvious. You'd hide it somewhere safe. Somewhere no one would dare walk into in a crusade for power. You hid it in a city guarded by death."

"Oh, crap, that does sound like me." Kami admitted.

"Yes, now let's see if I can't make you remember, Simba."

Before he could say anything a slash cut through the air. Eu had snuck behind Shadow as he focused on Kami and the Doctor and turned her pen into a scythe and cut the tendrils root.

Shadow yelled out in pain as he was connected to them.

"Oh, I'm really good at plans." Kami told him with a smile. "I knew if we held Eu back you'd bring her here and it would put you off guard. Now!"

As the other were freed from the tendrils every entrance and window were broken as the others walked in.

Stein wielded Spirit who was now in his scythe form. Kid jumped through the window wielding Patty and Liz in their dual pistol mood. The other death scythes were being wielded by their meisters along with Sid wielding Nygus. The Head Witch, the Witch Judge, Eruka and Free came along wanting to stop Shadow before could cause more damage or pain. Outside some forces waited in case he tried to escape.

"Oh very good." Shadow applauded. "Heavy hitters and everything. Great in all ways. The problem is you forgot one thing."

"What was that?" the Doctor said with a flair of annoyance.

A smile wider than before crept onto his face, "There are things in the shadows. Do you think I went with a dark warehouse for theme?"

"He's lying." Maka spoke up as she and the others got up and kept their distance from Shadow. "We've been here for a while and there no else here. He sent the witch away and he's done nothing but tell Haruna to stay quiet."

"Yeah, about that." Shadow grinned like nothing could stop his smile. "I did that because they're not much into talking. Clap on!" With that the room lights turned on. The revealed countless wooden crates. "I have them shipped her from all over and brought them here from the other world too. Come on out boys let's give them a show." Shadow let his shadows spread out throwing everyone to the walls and blocking the lights for split second and they all heard the crates crack open. Clara hit her head on the wall and she only saw darkness before it over took her.

Maka groaned in pain when the shadow wave stuck her she was tossed back but someone grabbed her and cushioned the hit. Maka blinked expecting to have been Soul. Maka noticed Soul a few feet away rubbing his head that he hit on the floor. Maka turned her head to find that Eu had grabbed her at the last moment and held her. Already a nasty bruise was forming on her head where she hit a box. Maka blinked at surprise that Eu had done that as she had only known her for about a day.

Maka noticed the notepad slide into her hand.

Are you okay?

Maka checked on Eu but it looked like she was ready to pass out.

When the the lights blinked on and they saw gray stone hands reach out the boxes.

"No!" The Doctor yelled looking around them.

"Each and every crate!" Shadow yelled.

The lights went off again for a second and soon statues were seen out of the boxes. It looked like they stepped into a stop motion movie as the lights blinked again the statues moved.

"What the hell?" Black Star put it perfectly.

"Weeping Angels!" The Doctor yelled his terror clear in his voice.

"They're supposed to legends." Stein said for once sounding scared. He thought about Marie and for once wasn't sure he would be able to make it back to her, he was grateful that Kami insisted she stay behind.

"Yeah, and I promised them a feast for the ages in turn for their help." Shadow sounded happier than anyone had ever seen him.

"They're real!" Kami couldn't hide her fear.

"They're weird statues." Ayumu couldn't see the why everyone was afraid.

"They're more than that." The Doctor yelled. "They're creature of the abstract. They're legends in every world and it's been assumed that they had come this world but even Underworlders have legends about them. No one blink! They're in quantum state, they're only statues when they are being perceived."

"Let's make that harder." Shadow turned off the lights for a split second.

When the lights came on it was obvious why those like Kid and the Witches looked scared, they knew the stories.

Ayumu watched the statues hadn't only moved closer they stretched out their arms to them. Their faces opened up to reveal fang filled jaws.

"Don't let them touch you!" The Doctor ordered everyone. "Don't look at their eyes either."

"Why not!" Soul barked.

"They can kill you with a touch!" Kami told them all. "That's what the legends say."

"I've never asked." The Doctor didn't dare turn away. "The timelords always thought they came from this dimension. Creatures of potentiality where else could they come from besides the Abstract."

"That's what they feed off." Kami told the story she heard at the DMWA camp fires when she was young. "They feed of energy and off life and potential. It is said they are the souls of those who don't fear death, those who aren't greedy or desire anything but refuse to die. They know nothing put to survive. It is said to survive they gave up humanity and desire and when they died they refused to stay dead. That their dead and cold souls turned their dead bodies into stone and took the shapes of angels. Now they cannot die. They feed on what they lack and what they gave up. They feed off what we could be, all that potential because thats the one thing they don't have anymore. They just feed and they don't care that you beg or cry. They have no mercy or no morals. With a single touch the angel kills. All we could be, it is taken with just that touch. All it takes for them to move and get you is to blink."

"Let's test that." Shadow said once more. "I need the Bill Nye, the Iron Necromancer and the blonde with a thing for bigs boobs and I'm not just talking about her ex husband. Everyone else is your snack." The lights went off again. "Dig in."


Authors Notes: Next Chapter is titled War of the Angels and the battle shakes the worlds.

"Fool! You've neglected to mention the best part. Me."

Yeah, Excalibur is in the next chapter. You'll see why he's the strongest weapon. Why are you here?

"Why should I not be? I narrated the tale as well I should also be in the Author's notes."

Author and narrator are not the same thing.

"Fool!"

Okay, whatever. Please leave a review if you liked it and just let me know what you think.
