Okay! The next chap! I've actually finished it so i'm going to post ALOT!
Mickey had been able to sneak into UNIT databanks to retrieve oncoming information about the aliens, and Theta watched, ignoring the two as they mused about why they couldn't understand the language, Theta could however.
"Cattle, you belong to us, to the Sycorax. We own you, we now possess your land, your minerals, your precious stones, you will surrender, or they will die."
Theta exhaled through his nose and studied the screen, yes Sycorax, he knew a little about them, how their heads were actually just helmets and the real head looked slightly humanoid.
"Sycorax strong! Sycorax mighty! Sycorax rock!"
It was a few hours after, Jackie had gone in to take care of him, and apparently, she had fallen asleep on his chest.
Rose stood on the doorway, a hand over her mouth as she mused what was going on, Mickey was still trying to break into more files.
Theta walked over, and Rose bit her lip, looking away.
"The Doctor wouldn't do this, the old Doctor the proper Doctor he'd wake up." She started and Theta blinked slowly, a slight frown on his face.
"Regeneration isn't by choice Rose- it's a last ditch effort." Theta sighed, trying to explain.
"He'd save us." She was determined and Theta sighed, recognizing the tone of voice and realizing he had absolutely no chance with her.
"You really love him don't you?" He asked, and Rose was silent eventually slouching against the door with her eyes closed.
Theta flashed his eyes open when he heard Rose talking to someone crying outside, He darted to his feet and made his way towards the door, looking out then stopping and looking up at the roof.
"Oh-" Theta didn't get to finish his thought as he saw the people, mindlessly standing at the top of the roof.
'You have GOT to be kidding me.'
Rose and Mickey stood there, and Mickey desperately looked at Rose.
"What do we do!" He demanded in shock, and Rose said nothing.
"…Nothing, nobody's here to save us." She mutely responded, and a strange feeling swirled inside Theta.
'They're all so innocent…No! Shut up! These are humans! I'm only helping a Time Lord!...but would you help a human too?'
Theta stood, hands shaking as he made his mind, then he scowled, muttering a few curses under his breath as he turned and moved back inside the flat, looking at the Doctor on the ground then at Jackie who was sprawled on with her head on him.
There was a boom, and all the glass shattered, Theta gasped and stumbled out, looking up as he recognized what the blast was.
"It's a sonic wave- the ship's hit the atmosphere." He supplied for Rose and Mickey who just watched as what seemed like a miny planet hovered above.
"…Go, get the Doctor and get him in the Tardis, it's the only safe place." Theta nodded and Mickey and Rose shared a look before racing inside.
'They don't need to know that I can maybe fly it- after all it is his.'
A few moments later, they were stumbling out, trying to carry the dead weight of a Time Lord. Always heavier than it looks.
Theta waited until they went in, and Jackie went out to get more food. It was then he exhaled and stepped inside the Tardis, flinching and stopping as he looked around.
"Yeah, it's bigger on the inside." Rose supplied as she fiddled with a monitor, sending out a high pitch bleeping which was growing annoying quickly.
Theta sat down next to the Doctor, fixing up his hair a little and waited as the two bickered. Eventually Rose got up and moved towards the door.
"You be careful, alright?" Mickey called and Rose rolled her eyes, exciting the door.
Not two seconds later she screamed, sending Mickey to drop the tea thermos and let it clatter to the ground and into the circuits under. The Tardis groaned slightly and he winced.
"Sorry, he's in a hurry. I'll be back, alright? Could you open the doors for me when I get back?" Theta called, and a flashing light was his response. He smiled slightly and made his way towards the door, quickly opening it and stepping out.
"Rose!" A woman called, and Theta blinked, adjusting his eye to the Sycorax ship as he was guided towards a few other humans who were gathered there.
"My Lord! Oh you precious thing!" She breathed, relieved, the older woman was. Theta blinked and looked around, sensing how old this place was. It wasn't a battle ship, that was for sure.
"The Doctor….is he with you?"
"…No." Rose breathed back and Theta felt his heart tighten slightly.
Now he really was going to save the humans.
"We're on our own…"
"You have me." Theta offered, stepping forward and blinking slightly at the Sycorax leader who hissed.
The prime minister blinked, confused.
"And who is-"
"Theta. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to save your human lives here." He nodded and stepped forward, crossing his arms.
"The yellow girl, and the child. They have the clever blue box. Therefore, they speak for your planet."
"But she can't!" The Prime Minister objected, but Rose stepped forward, next to Theta as the Prime Minister's friend finished translating.
"Yeah I can." She breathed and Theta rolled his eyes, meeting eye to eye with the leader.
"I….I em…..I address the Sycorex. According to Article 15 of the Shadow Proclamation, I demand you leave this planet with all the authority of the Slitheen Parliament of Rexicoricofallipatorius, and, em…the Gelf confederacy, as sectioned by the mighty Jagrafess…"
'Oh Rassilon' Theta thought and sighed, but Rose continued on.
"And…uh…oh! The Daleks!"
'The Da-whats?'
"Now leave this planet in peace!" She ended, not very strongly on her part. Then it was silent, before all of the Sycorex started laughing wildly.
"You are very very funny, and now you're going to die…"
Theta reacted faster than the Translator could get on its first word. He stepped forward and looked at the leader dead in the eye.
"Tell me this- Sycorax. How many species have tried and failed in the past to take on this planet as their own? Tell me this, Sycorax, what will you do when the Shadow Proclamation takes part in this. It is against the law to occupy a level five planet." He started and the Sycorex's eyes widened in slight surprise at this. Not expecting Theta to know this.
"Also, one more thing. There's a button right…there. And I want to press that button." Theta blinked innocently.
Nothing in the universe could stop a running Time Lord.
So he stood, completely at ease next to the large button looking it up and down and sniffing slightly.
"A control matrix am I right?"
"How dare you!"
"Actually, I dare a lot. I like to dare, make's the world more interesting, oh wait, what's this?" Theta asked, poking his finger in a liquid underneath the button as a drip pan, and very quickly he licked it, shivering and whipping his tongue on his teeth.
"Human blood, A positive, completely vile that is, which means this is Blood Control! And if I ever learned one thing by staying with a mastermind of a cousin- it means that I can do this!" Theta laughed and smacked the button, allowing a large ding to echo throughout the room and people to scream, however the Sycorex ruler just looked mad.
"Good thing about Blood Control, can't make you kill yourself, instincts too strong."
"How dare you test us you human!" It hissed, swapping over to English in the second half, causing the others to frown and start pointing.
"Well, you got one thing wrong, I'm not a human."
"Try Time Lord."
They spun, to look at the previously fainted man leaning against the blue box, and Theta did a small wave, the man returned it.
The man blinked once, trying to not show any emotion as he few slowly, closed his eyes halfway, and breathed deeply through his nose.
"I'd say that you're only seven…which brings in the factor of how you got here anyways. Fall through a rift?"
"Erm….A Tardis with a temper tantrum?"
The Doctor snorted and walked forward, snorting out a horrible insult to the Sycorex leader which even his Tardis didn't want to translate.
Then started a deadly sword fight which led outside- then when his hand was cut off and plummeted to the ground.
No…
'It can't be…'
They continued on, and the Doctor won, eventually growing back his hand and knocking the leader over the edge. Not a few moments later, the Sycorex ship was flying away, Theta in the background.
A bright blue laser and Theta gasped, scrambling to his feet to watch as the ship- a family ship, blew up in fire and flames, exploding and leaving none alive.
He was slightly aware of the Doctor shouting at the Prime Minister woman, but Rose walked over, gently wrapping an arm around him.
"Hey- it's okay." She soothed and Theta shook his head, not looking away.
"No, they're dead…all dead, just like the others. Just like Gallifrey." He whispered, eventually turning and burying his head into Rose's side.
She said nothing but strained slightly as she tried to carry him, but he was quickly taken by Mickey, and Theta let his head roll back, looking at Rose. The Doctor noticed this, but didn't say anything as they started to walk to the flat- ignoring the Prime Ministers shouts for something the Doctor had said.
It wasn't long after when the Doctor split off, going off to find an outfit inside his Tardis that would suit the new him- but Theta had a sick feeling of what it would be.
So he laughed and played it off while Rose and Jackie fiddled with a turkey, laughing as they destroyed it while trying to carve it. Mickey smirked and poured tea, fresh from the kettle.
Theta leaned back, pulling his knees to his chin as he watched, his family never did this. Perhaps he could stay here? Even for a little bit extra?
The door opened, and Theta's suspicions were confirmed. A long brown trench coat with a dark pinstripe suit, he walked in with a slight swing and sent another suspicious look at Theta, but Theta simply blinked and put his head back on his knees, watching the others.
"Come on now- they're waiting." He blinked and looked up once more as the Doctor gently set a hand on Theta's back, encouraging him to be with the family.
Theta smiled very softly and looked up, brown/blue eyes glittering with unspoken emotion.
"Thank you."
And the Doctor nodded on.
Theta tried his taste buds on Turkey, it was quite good actually. As were the little confetti cannons as the Doctor pulled on one, passing it to Rose as there was a little tissue paper pink crown inside.
"Oh it should be yours mum!" Rose laughed and put it on, looking at the Doctor who sported a slight smile and a red crown. Theta smiled softly and looked at Jackie as she sighed and got to her feet to retrieve the ringing phone.
"Bit domestic for you, isn't it Doctor?" Rose asked with a teasing smile, Theta couldn't help but jump slightly when he felt a sharp wave of the emotion embarrassment.
"Sorry- forgot about telepathic links." The Doctor blushed even more as he tried to block off the emotion link that all Time Lords had. Theta smirked in reply and looked up as Jackie came back into the room.
"It's Bev- says we should look outside!" She grinned and everyone shrugged, Theta being the first one out and looking up into the sky as what seemed like meteors burned up in the planet's atmosphere.
"It's beautiful!" Rose gasped, catching a few of the 'snowflakes' with her hand, before letting them drop to the ground once more.
"It's parts of the ship burning up in the atmosphere." Theta noted, frowning as the Doctor moved behind him
"And this isn't snow. It's ash." The Doctor added, looking upwards as Mickey frowned, dropping what appeared to be an ash ball.
"Okay, not so beautiful." She corrected herself, and Jackie frowned, putting her hands on her hips like that.
"Why are you two like that, finishing off each other's sentence- almost as if you're related!" She finished with a frown, and Rose stumbled backwards, looking at the two with narrowed eyes.
"Wha? No!"
"No no! We're not!" The Doctor stuttered, trying to save himself in this situation.
"Then why 'r you looking like that, like you know what the other's about to say?" Mickey asked, crossing his arms, and Theta exhaled through his nose, stepping back and reaching into his pocket, pulling out the one screwdriver that he had found in the other trench coat before.
"I found it inside a Tardis- I think it was yours." He muttered before slipping it back into his pocket, the other didn't say a word.
"And she took me here, I didn't on my own will- and I think I know who you are." He added, looking up at the Doctor, he didn't want to say it.
"What are you two talking about!" Jackie demanded and the Doctor looked at her quickly, not caring to cringe like he normally would.
"Jackie- the only time in your existence you're older than me." The Doctor shook his head sadly and Theta smiled slightly, waving his hand.
"Hello!"
