Chapter 9
Pakonias steps back and shouts a fearful,"KILL IT!"
The Phantisorians step forward, long silver claws protruding from their fingertips. They stand in a fighting position, their claws clashing together. They bare their sharp pointed teeth at the intruder. Their gray-blue eyes glinting with blood lust and determination.
The Doctor takes a couple steps back.
"Oh this is not good," He mutters.
The Phantisorians move forward.
The Doctor throws his hands up as a sign of peace.
"Hey fellas," he shouts, "can't we talk out our differences. Come to a conclusion. Make some new friends. I don't really want to fight you."
The Phantisorians growl and throws their clawed hands at the Doctor. The Doctor jumps out of the way. The tips of the claws shredding his suit.
"No negotiations," they repeat.
The Doctor glares.
"That was my favorite suit," he states coldly, " fine, you made your choice."
The Phantisorians pounce. Quicker than the eye could blink, the Doctor escapes the deadly claws.
The Phantisorians growl with frustration and chases after the Doctor. The Doctor looks behind and runs full speed at the wall.
A Phantisorian throws a claw hand in the Doctor's direction. The Doctor plants one foot on the wall, pushes off, flips over the group, and lands perfectly on two feet. He looks up and smiles dangerously.
The phantisorians growl and pace closer to him.
A clanging and swooshing from above is heard. Several thousand pounds of metal chains drop on four of the phantisorians, crushing them beneath. A blonde girl jumps down, a deadly smirk on her face.
"Thought you needed some help," She states. A phantisorian comes running towards her and she punches him in the solar plexus, he falls down like a stone. She brushes the hair out of her face.
"Well," She smiles, "Allons-y."
She jumps up kicking one in the head before quickly turning around and stomping on another foot and punching him in the jaw. Barely missing a thirds dangerous claws.
John comes sliding down, landing on top of two and pushing one of their pressure points to disarm them.
"You live for this don't you," He directs at Jenny.
"Oh, Yes."
They stand back to back, Several Phantisorians surrounding them. Jenny kicks out a leg, striking one in the face, before grabbing another by the arm and twisting it. The claws slash forward, hitting Jenny's cheek. Four long gashes evident on her face. The gashes dripping blood.
"Big mistake," she growls. She punches the Phantisorian in the face as John kicks one in the guts.
The Doctor uses every move against the Phantisorians. He turns with them, twisting their arms so they are defenseless while at the same time kicking another in the soft spot and hitting a nerve cluster on a third. All three go down. He glides threw the soldiers like a phantom. None are able to touch him.
One grabs him from behind. The Doctor twists and bends, throwing the phantisorian on his back, pressing down on a pressure point, the Phantisorian goes down. Another hits him in the face with its claws out. Leaving a long gash from the Doctors eyelid to jawbone, drawing its claws for another strike.
The Doctor slows down time for a few seconds, the phantisorian hand moves in slow motion. The Doctor side steps it. Time moves back to a normal pace. The Phantisorian screams. From the weight of its punch topples over, impaling itself with its claws. The Doctor has no time to feel guilty because a fresh group of Phantisorians have arrived.
John was cornered. A phantisorian had positioned him in a way that he could not escape or fight. It lifted its claws, about to strike down.
"Well, this is the end," John states. Excepting his fate.
He closes his eyes and waits for the strike.
A huge smash is heard. John opens his eyes, the Phantisorian, that was about to kill him, tips over, eyes rolling in the back of its head. It falls. John glances up. Jenny is standing there, crowbar in hand.
"Bashing heads in I see," he comments, getting up.
Jenny nods before swinging the crowbar around and hitting another Phantisorian, who was trying to sneak attack them, in the guts, it bends over and Jenny hits it in the head again. It passes out. Jenny flips the crowbar up, catching it in the air.
"I like this weapon," Jenny states, "Dad won't oppose since its not a gun."
Jenny grins dangerously before racing back into battle, crowbar in hand. John watches her swing it viciously around. John shakes his head.
"Crazy," he mutters.
He strikes a phantisorian, about to attack, in the shoulder.
Donna was crawling through the vents. She had left her family to fight while she found another way into the phantisorian nursery to rescue her son and the human children. She came to a closed door and pushed it open. Looking down she saw it was the entrance to the room.
This was their plan. The Doctor, Jenny, and John would keep the army, of angry phantisorians, distracted while she would crawl back to the nursery and release the children from the blobs grip and get them out from the underground lair.
Donna drops through the opening, landing on her feet. She looks around. No ones here.
She gets up and sneaks her way over to the children.
"Jaime," She gasps.
She walks over to her young son. A blob sits on his head, its teeth digging into him. The blob pulses and moves, as it sucks the creative energy out of her son.
She moves forward and notices at least a dozen other children strapped to tables with similar blobs on their heads. She turns back and begins unstrapping Jaime. A dark shadow closes in on her.
The battle had been slowing down for a while. The ground soaked with blood and everyone a bit beat up. The Doctor's suit was shredded and blood dripped from his cheek where he was clawed. There were few phantisorians now, but they continued to attack determined not to give up.
A phantisorian attacks from behind. The Doctor rolls out of the way and kicks it in the shin. It heavily falls to the ground.
The Doctor turns to the leader, while at the same time hitting another phantisorian in a pressure point. Another one goes down.
"Maybe we can come to an agreement now," the Doctor directs at Pakonias, "A negotiation. I can find you a planet for your people to thrive or you can head back home. But you can't stay on this planet."
The Doctor quickly flips out of the way as another soldier tries to impale him with their claws. The Phantisorian soldier trips and falls over. It rolls on the ground, jumping back to its feet and running full speed at the Doctor. The Doctor hits it in the throat, blocking its clawed hands at the same time. The soldier clutches its throat and falls to the ground.
Pakonias glares at the Doctor. Anger radiating off its body.
"Venusian aikido," Pakonias states, "haven't seen that type of fighting in years."
The Doctor stares and prepares himself for a fight.
"Lets just talk," he says, "I don't want to fight."
Pakonias glares darkly. He snarls, baring his sharp teeth.
"That's what you said to my men before you obliterated them," he hisses. His claws popped out and he jumped down to where the Doctor stood.
"Let's finish this once and for all."
"I thought your chosen wanted to finish me once and for all," the Doctor states, smirking cheekily.
Pakonias growls, "Don't taunt me." he throws a clawed hand in the Doctor's direction.
Donna was hit in the side hard, her body smacking into a wall. She shakes her head and gets back up.
She stares down the shadow.
"Well, if it isn't my old friend Shadow," she acidly states, "Come to finish the job?"
The shadow looks at her and turns away.
"OI! Sunshine...or shadowy thing, I'm talking to you," Donna shouts, "You kidnapped my son. I'm not to pleased about that!"
The Shadow turns back around and runs at Donna as fast as it could. Turning into a black mist, it jumps stopping right in front of Donna. Donna takes a step back before stepping forward and standing her grounds.
She stares the shadow, right into its hollow eyes and smirks.
"Never had anybody stand up to you have ya."
The shadow doesn't respond instead preferring to turn into a black gas and hit Donna in the guts. Donna doubles over.
"OI! That was a cheap shot!"
She stands up and throws a fist at the shadow. The Shadow grabs her arm.
She looks at her arm and back at the shadow. She kicks the shadow in the legs. It falls over.
"You grabbed me which means you were solid," she comments, "Meaning when your solid I can hit you. Solidness is a two way thing, sunshine."
She runs over to the children and begin to unhook them. The shadow comes gliding over and grabs her arm trying to stop her process. It tries to fling her back, but Donna grabs a hold of its ghostly arm and holds on. She drives her heels into the floor and kicks up. The Shadow stumbles and turns back to gas. Something silver catches Donna's eyes. Buried in the misty greyness of the shadow was a silver box.
"Well what do we have here?"
The Shadow strikes again and Donna jumps out of the way. The Shadows mistiness hits the wall and it turns around quickly. Donna notices a defibrillator sparking on a table. She races over to the table, sliding on the floor, the shadowy mist following her. She grabs the device and the black mist takes form. Its dark shadowy tentacles flowing in the air.
Donna holds up the defibrillator and a shock of electricity zings between the two pads.
"Come and get me, sunshine," Donna taunts.
The shadow shoots quickly forward and Donna aims the electric pads at the silver metal in the shadow. There is a loud zing when electricity hits metal. The shadow throws its head back letting out a screaming roar. It's whole body combusting into black tendrils of smoke. The Shadow was gone.
Donna drops the defibrillator and walks over to Jaime. She unstraps him from the table.
She sticks her hand inside the blobs mouth and peals its teeth off Jaime's head. The blob comes off with a pop and wiggles around a bit before shriveling up and dieing.
Blood dripped from the puncture wounds on Jaime's head.
Jaime slowly opened his eyes, blinking. He looks over at the blurred face of his mother.
"Mummy?" he asks.
"I'm here Jaime, your safe."
Jaime nods his head before leaning back down.
"I guess you got the store I sent you."
Donna smiles and nods.
"That was quite brilliant of you."
Jaime nods.
"I'm tired."
Donna strokes his hair.
"You can sleep when we get back to the TARDIS. Alright?"
Jaime nods before sluggishly getting to his feet.
"The other children," he states.
"On it."
Jaime and Donna went from child to child tearing off the blobs from their heads.
Jenny swung her crowbar around a couple more times, hitting Phantisorian soldiers in the head. She had a vicious grin on her face as she swung the crowbar like a bat. Another Phantisorian attacked and Jenny was about to hit it when there was a zing and the crowbar disappeared. Jenny twirled away from the phantisorian's claws and flipped to the other side of it. With a punch and a round-house kick to the head the phantisorian went down.
"Hey," Jenny yells, "Where did the crowbar go?"
John leaps over to Jenny, sliding between soldiers.
"Mum, must of found Jaime and taken the blob off his head," John states while kicking a phantisorian in the guts, "It went back into Jaime's head, since it never really existed."
Jenny shrugs before kicking the last phantisorian standing, in the throat, before stomping on its foot and kneeing it in the guts. It went down.
Jenny blows her bangs out of her face. She turns to John.
"Makes sense. To bad though, it was quite useful."
they look around the room. Phantisorians were lying all over the floor, unconscious.
"Well, we did a number on them," John states.
"Yep."
The Doctor and Pakonias were in the middle of a long battle of skills. Unbeknownst to the Doctor, at the time, Pakonias was well adverse in Venusian Aikido too. Each matching each others move, neither really hitting the other. Time to play a bit dirty the Doctor thought.
His thoughts guarded from his opponent. He had made the mistake of letting his mental shields down during his first fight, with Pakonias, forgetting the Phantisorians were also powerful telepaths.
The Doctor switches his fighting technique to something unfamiliar to most beings, unless you lived six billion years in the future. Pakonias tried to match the Doctors fighting skills but grew tired. With a final blow, Pakonias fell.
The Doctor rustles his hair and makes his way over to John and Jenny. The two of them are staring at their father with awe.
"Dad, I didn't know you could fight like that," Jenny comments, respect in her young eyes.
"That was so sick!" John shouts.
"Thanks," was the Doctors only response. He looks around the room at all the damage the three of them had caused. Bodies laid everywhere, some unconscious others not.
"Seems you two came out fine," he mutters.
"Yep," Jenny agrees, "Just a few scrapes and bruises, nothing to worry about. We'll heal in the next hour or so."
The Doctor nods. Looking at the four long gashes on Jenny's cheek.
"Nothing to worry about," he comments quietly before switching to a much louder tone, "Well, I think its about time we locate your mother and brother. Allons-y!"
He swiftly moves down one of the corridors, the kids following him.
They find the nursery in no time. Donna and Jaime standing there with a bunch of kids.
Jenny slows her pace when she notices some explosives in a corner. She quietly made her way over to them and packs them in her bag. She walks back over to her family.
Donna and the Doctor were hugging each other. They softly kiss before turning back to the group of kids.
Jaime races over, jumping into his father's arms, and hugging him tightly. He release his father's neck and leaps over to John and Jenny also hugging them. The Doctor turns to the other children and warmly smiles.
"Hello," he says, "Ready to go home and see your family."
The kids nod.
"Alright then Donna, Jaime, John, and Jenny will take you up to the surface."
The kids nod and Donna beckons them to follow.
"NOT SO FAST TIME LORD!" a voice shouts.
The family and kids turn around to see Grendilis. Her face a picture of fury.
"How dare you come in and steal our cattle."
The Doctor glares at Grendilis. Grendilis takes a couple steps back. The Doctor's eyes a black pit of anger, with a slight sparkle of gold. The temperature begins to drop and electricity crackles through the air.
"How dare you kidnap my son," he hisses back.
The storm had arrived.
