"Who are you?" A deep voice sounded behind them. The doctor and his companions quickly turned around to see a very unfriendly being. Its eyes were as red as the skin, but it was a bit see through, so you could see hints of orange bones through the flesh. His robe was a shade darker than his skin and his jewelry was, orange bones.
"Great so they decorate themselves with the bones of their own people!" Donna muttered. "It's a thing they do when their parents die. It's their kind of funeral. The oldest child also inherits the bones his parents wore, the heavier the chain, the more loss", The doctor explained. It sort of made Ellie sad to know that one of the Corax had lost one of the bones of his ancestors. "No! Stop it! Don't feel sorry for these monsters", she told herself.
"Who are you?" The Corax asked once more. "I'm the doctor and these are my friends slash companions. Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, just call her Tosh, Martha Jones, Donna Noble and Ellie Miller." He answered. "You were unwise to come here, you just gave yourself up!" He stated with a grotesque laugh.
"Haven't you heard of me?" The doctor said and took a step closer to the Corax. "I'm the doctor. The oncoming storm. I'm the last of the Time Lords and I ended the Time War. You must've heard of the daleks. Well, I destroyed them." Ellie had never seen this side of either the doctor or Alec Hardy. It was frightening. The only thing she could say about it. Frightening.
"Your identity does not matter when you're about to be killed." The Corax answered plainly, but his voice fell a bit at the end. "If you knew the tiniest thing about me you'd know I'm very good at getting myself and my friends into and out of trouble." The doctor answered.
The Time Lord reached for his pocket and dragged out something that might have been a phone one day, but all things had been added. Some weird coulorful buttons and tiny wheel they were all certain was unneccesary, but the doctor thought it looked cool so it stayed on and just a lot of other weird things Ellie didn't bother to identify. "This is my- well I haven't found a cool name for it yet. Hmmm, the phoney- nah, bad one. Anyways, I made it myself! One press on this button-", He pointed towards a little yellow button that had replaced the previous on/off button on the phone "Will give an emergency signal to the Shadow Proclamation, they don't really like me, but we have this sort of deal where I let them know if I bump into any Corax that have been getting slaves from Sycorax or anything like that. They will load a ship that's so incredibly fast, I helped making it you see, they'll be here in no time! Hah!" He said and looked proudly at his masterpiece.
"Let's just hope it works", He whispered towards his companions. Donna would've killed hime there and then hadn't Martha and Ianto held her back.
It seemed like the Corax started to doubt its chances of winning when Ellie felt something grabbing her. She looked around to see that the other Corax in the ship had appeared and grabbed the others. They had ripped the phone-ish thing from the doctor's hand and thrown it on the floor.
"Chief Sej-Utho, what is to be done to them?" The Corax that held the doctor asked the one who, apparently, was their leader. As an answer, he drew his sword, which was decorated with strange pearls and red ribbons, and placed it at the doctor's shoulder, the blade right by his neck. They were going to behead him.
"No!" Donna screamed as she realized. "Time Lords are old, their souls are no use to us, but should not live any longer. Like I said, your identity does not matter when you're about to be killed", Saj-Utho stated.
Ellie looked at her friend, that's right, her friend. Even though she and Alec could barely have a normal conversation, she had looked at him as her friend, and the doctor was no different. The doctor was her friend and a good man.
The doctor, instead of looking scared, or facing his death with his tough face, he just smirked. He was about to be beheaded and he smirked! "What's so funny?" Saj-Utho asked as a noise was heard from outside the ship.
Ellie didn't recognize it as anything, but loud and that she didn't want to hear that awful noise ever again. But the doctor certainly seemed pleased with it. "Here they are!" He said gleefully. A group of rhinoceros walking on two legs instead of four, came in, armed. Ellie would think this was some kind of dream, but it was way too real. The pain of the Corax holding her too tightly was certain evidence that it was not a dream, and the other things like the fact that when she closed her eyes and open them again, she didn't see her bedroom. She just saw the same thing as right before she closed them, Saj-Utho with his sword placed on the doctor's shoulder, ready for one swift stroke. And he was about to, but the rhinoceros thing grabbed him just in time and the sword fell to the ground.
"That's a really nice thing abot buttons", the doctor said, "You can press one and no one will even notice!"
The doctor was having some sort of conversation with the Jadoon, as he had called it, but Ellie didn't bother to listen, it just sounded like one of those pretend languages kids made up anyways. The whole thing with the aliens in Broadchurch had become huge in the media, there was no avoiding humans knowing of aliens now, and that was a good thing, the doctor had told her. It was one step closer to "growing up".
They were going to meet the press in a while and tell them that Broadchurch was safe and everybody agreed to make sure the doctor wouldn't add anything about future invasions and that they would never really be safe, because there was nothing to worry about now. The only things Broadchurch had to think about, was a new vicar and a proper goodbye with Danny Latimer.
This can be the last chapter, or I can write a really short one with when they meet the press and saying goodbye and stuff, but I won't write that now. Maybe during the weekend cuz school starts again tomorrow
