Hello! I've gone all Doctor Who crazy so here is my story!
Please no flames, this is my first Doctor Who story, and well...Doctor Who is confusing.
Thanks to everyone that reviews, i feel honored that so many of you like my story :D
The Doctor remained motionless on the outside, but continued to struggle on the inside. His eyes were wide and luminous, clearly showing his terror and pain. The creature had stolen his voice, his words, the only true weapons he had to protect himself. For the first time, he feared for his life, knowing that he wouldn't regenerate if thrown outside. His body would vaporize in the Xtonic sunlight, his atoms dispersing across the planet's surface.
"Yes!" the Sky creature exulted.
"Yes!"
"Throw him out!"
"Throw him out!"
"Get rid of him!"
"Get rid of him!"
"Now!"
"Now!"
Biff grabbed the Doctor and started to drag him towards the door.
Distressed, Dee cried, "Don't!"
"Oh god, please don't." I whispered, feeling the lump in your throat you couldn't rid yourself of.
"It'll be you next!" snarled Val, warningly.
"Don't think we should do this!" said the Hostess.
"It was your idea! Professor, help me," said Biff, having none of the Hostess' backpedalling.
"I can't…I-I'm not…" stammered Professor, not caring to be drawn into the physical actuality of killing the Doctor.
"What sort of man are you? Come on!" sneered Biff, in disdain.
Val screamed, "Throw him out!"
"You two are bloody KILLERS!" I shouted at the screen, holding my fist upright, but it was shaking, not moving at all. If It hit the screen, it wouldn't do anything. So I exhaled and lowered it.
"Come on!" urged Biff, grunting with the effort of manhandling the Doctor's dead weight.
"Just do it, throw him out!" cried Val, like one of Satan's cheerleaders.
"Help! Professor, help me!" implored Biff.
"Get him out!" called Val again.
"Grab hold of him!" ordered Biff.
Awkwardly, the Professor grabbed the Doctor's hand.
"Not like that! Are you stupid?" barked Biff.
The Sky creature called deliriously, "Caste him out!"
"Caste him out!"
"Into the sun!"
"Into the sun!"
"I want him out!" declared Val, unnerved by the sing-song quality of Sky's voice.
"And the night!" continued the Sky creature.
"And the night!"
"Get him out!" screeched Val.
"Do it!" called the Sky creature.
"Do it!"
"Do it now!"
"Do it now!"
"Faster!"
"Faster!"
Val screamed again, gripped by her hysteria, "Just do it!"
"That's the way!" encouraged the Sky creature.
"That's the way!"
Jethro joined his father and the Professor, the three of them pulling the Doctor's prone form towards the door.
"You can do it!" cried out the Sky creature.
"You can do it!" repeated the Doctor hollowly.
"Molto bene!" said the Sky creature, making Dee look at her sharply and open her mouth.
"Throw them out!" Val screamed hysterically.
"Molto bene!" copied the Doctor.
"Oh god, it as his voice, it's using his words all along, draining his and using her as a shell." I whimpered, pulling my knees up to my chin.
Val glared at her husband and screamed at him, "Get him out!"
"Allons-y!" called the Sky creature, in agreement with Val.
"Get a clue! Anybody!" I shouted, burrowing my head in my legs once more.
"Allons-y!" The Doctor resented the creature using his favorite words to egg the Humans into perpetrating his own death.
"That's his voice," called the Hostess to the others as realization hit home.
Unaware that the tide had turned in the Doctor's favour, the Sky creature called, "The starlight waits!"
"She's taken his voice!" reiterated the Hostess.
"The starlight waits," echoed the Doctor dully.
"The emptiness!" continued the Sky creature.
"The emptiness!"
Unwilling to accept reason, Val continued to shriek at her husband and son, "Get him out!"
"The Midnight sky!" called the Sky creature.
"The Midnight sky!"
Her tone certain, the Hostess stated, "It's her. She's taken his voice!"
The Hostess grabbed Sky, holding her against her own body, and pushed the button to open the fire exit. Blinding light flooded into the shuttle, making everyone stop and scream.
"No…" I whispered, touching the screen and taking deep breaths.
The Hostess stood in the doorway, holding sky firmly and counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six."
The pressure wall collapsed, releasing the Hostess and Sky into the atmosphere, before the door slid closed.
The Doctor's body relaxed and he gasped, before starting to chant, "It's gone, it's gone… It's gone, it's gone, it's gone… It's gone, It's gone… It's gone, it's gone, it's gone… It's gone. It's gone. It's gone."
The others stood around, breathing heavily, the realization that they'd almost thrown an innocent man to his death setting in. They turned to look at him, curled up on the ground, emotionally broken and frightened, tremors racking his body. At that moment, he looked like any human.
Val looked around before saying weakly, "I said it was her."
Jethro glared, pure anger in his eyes, causing his mother to recoil as he went towards the Doctor, making sure nobody else would try to throw him out.
Val shrank back, sobbing, deserted by her husband and son as everyone dealt with their guilt alone.
Twenty minutes late, the passengers sat in the seats near the back, not wanting to go near the ruined ones near the front. Dee had done a small medical scan on the Doctor, just to check small things, as she wasn't trained in the medical field. A couple of hot tears had run down his face, but he didn't want to attract any attention to himself by crying loudly. Also, he wasn't sure whether he'd be able to stop, once he started to cry.
And in all of the time that I had known the Doctor, I had barley seen him cry. Maybe once, or twice, but not a common occurrence. This was bad, this was very bad.
Everyone jumped collectively, as a voice called from the tannoy system: "Repeat, Crusader 50, rescue vehicle coming alongside in three minutes, door seals set to automatic. Prepare for boarding, repeat, prepare for boarding."
Stirring slightly, turning his head so he could see the others, the Doctor croaked, "The Hostess… what was her name?"
The other passengers looked away in shame.
The Professor managed to reply, "I don't know."
The rescue vehicle locked onto the shuttle and the side door slid open. Everyone looked at it apprehensively, except the Doctor who huddled further, every muscle tightening as he tried to curl into a ball. Dee looked at him in sympathy, sighing and looking away..
Rescue personnel rushed onto the ship, helping people to get to their feet, and gently escorting them out of the doors. The Professor went first, then Biff and Val. Dee gave a short nod to Jethro who stayed by the Doctors side.
"What's the problem?" A man came over, looking at the still shaking Doctor then at Jethro.
"We're not really sure… A-a monster c-came on board, It…it attacked him, but…we think it's mental…he's not hurt, as much as we can tell." Jethro stuttered, looking down at him once more.
"Well, we'll give him a full medical scan. We called in a few Therapists for the others, quite a few need them, do you?" The man asked, looking at him carefully. Jethro shook his head.
"No, I just want to make sure he's okay." The man nodded before waving over two more men with a stretcher.
Dee came over, eyes red and puffy from crying, she sniffled and the man looked at Jethro, who nodded, letting her stay.
"Okay, one two three…lift!" He stated, lifting up the Doctor who shook even more as he was set on the stretcher.
"Hey, get a medic in here!" He shouted back into the rescue shuttle, thankfully, with a med bay.
Val and Biff looked down as they moved past with the stretcher, the Professor refused to make eye contact, not daring to look at the man he had almost killed.
"Well…looks like I might need your help after all." The medic frowned, looking at the passengers who looked up trembling slightly.
"What for?" Val's voice was thick and hoarse from all the shouting she did earlier, she was crying, and she looked at the medic sadly.
"They don't know what he is." I whispered, looking at the screen with tears in my eyes, JD moved over and awkwardly set his plunger arm on my shoulder, I smiled at his weak attempt of sympathy, but at least it was something.
"Anybody know what species he is?" The man called, getting shocked looks from everyone.
"You mean….he wasn't…human?" Val hiccupped, sniffling softly, the medic raised his eyebrows.
"Err, no. His biology is nothing I've ever seen, way to advanced to be human, his brain activity if over five times a normal human, and right now, he's in shock. I don't want to see what he's like when he walking around."
"So that's what he meant by clever." Dee muttered, looking at the Doctor and moving some hair away from his wide glassy eyes.
"Well, what's different from his body? Maybe we might know it." Jethro offered and the Medic nodded.
"I can tell that he is intelligent, definitely intelligent, probably smarter than the smartest man alive today."
The Professor looked down, wincing slightly at that.
"Well, he has two heart-"
"Two hearts? You have got to be kidding me." Biff snorted, the medic raised his eyebrows and did a small scan with a metal rod. Behind him, a projection showed his two hearts and his two lungs with two different parts allowing more oxygen to travel into his blood.
"…I've never seen anything like it before." The Professor whispered, coughing to clear his raspy throat, the scan went upwards, showing his skull with a large brain, the screen changed to a dark grey and showed white spots where the brain was active, almost everywhere, mostly a small spot on both sides, just behind the temples.
"Wait a second…gah! I know this; I had to do an essay on something like this in collage…oh what was the name? Gar-Gall? Yes, Gall…Gall-fra, no, Gall-fri?"
"Gallifreyen, come on, just say it." I whispered, touching the screen as she tried to remember.
A few seconds after, her eyes lit up and she grinned largely.
"Gallifreyen! But, we had to choose great empires that died out centuries ago, he can't be from there."
"Gallifrey? I've never heard of it. What were the main species?" The medic asked, hoping that he could help him in any way.
"That's what I can't remember!" Dee pouted, frowning and sighing as nothing came to mind.
"Wait, he said he had a friend, Donna, her name was. Can you find her?"
"Don't need to, the shuttle's already back and the lobby alerted all guest." The medic nodded, getting the air seals open and moving quickly into the main med bay where there were more machines that could help.
The others followed in a slight stumble; medical help gently escorted them, Jethro winced as some red haired lady grabbed his arm, looking mad.
"You, you were on that shuttle right? Good, cause I want to know where the hell the Doctor is." She demanded, glaring at Jethro when a hesitant smile came on his face.
"You're Donna? Good, the medics were asking for you. He's in here, maybe you can help."
Donna frowned but marched in after him, freezing in the doorway when she saw half a dozen men and woman darting around, trying to help him as he whimpered and shook violently.
"Doctor? Doctor! Move aside, get out of my way!" She hissed, and the medics jumped back, surprised by her fury.
"What the hell happened? What did you do to him!" She demanded, causing me to smile slightly.
"A monster was on the ship, according to a few eye witnesses, it possessed a lady, and when he tried to help, it possessed him, getting the others to almost kill him." A medic sadly reported, a shocked eye glare was what she got.
"We were trying to help, but we don't know what species he is." The lead medic supplied, and Donna frowned, whipping away his bangs.
"He's in shock? Looks that way. Come on String-bean, wake up and snap out of it." She frowned, finally smiling slightly when he blinked slowly, some of the fog clearing up.
"D-Donna?" He whimpered and I smiled, moving away from the screen.
"He's fine, and we need to finish up the transporter, a few more tests maybe?"
"CORRECT. I SHALL PROCEDE QUICKLY."
"Thanks JD."
I'm sorry if i didn't get some of the Dalek or Time Lord facts right, it's hard to find real information about it all. I'm only knowledgable in the new serries (9th doctor through 11th)
I have a poll on my profile, please say if you want me to write more Doctor Who!
