When Vastra and Aderyn reached the TARDIS once again, everything was just as they had left it. But something really didn't feel right. Keeping her hand on her sword, Aderyn paced around the room, peering into every corner and behind every door. She ran back across the room when Strax marched a woman toward them.

"I found it listening at the door." He informed the room.

"I heard Madame Korvarian talking. This is a trap," The woman looked at the angry, disbelieving faces staring back at her and added desperately "Why would I lie to you?"

"Well, you might want to take a look at your uniform." Rory said bitterly.

"The only reason I joined the clerics was so I could meet the Doctor again." She shouted.

"You wanted to meet him, so you joined an army to fight him?" Jenny scoffed. She threw a glance behind the woman's shoulder at Aderyn, who still clutched at her sword handle.

"What's your name?" Aderyn said. The woman jumped and spun round.

She opened and closed her mouth several times before stammering "Lorna. Lorna Bucket."

Aderyn smiled "The girl from the Gamma Forest," Lorna nodded "But Jenny does have a point. Why join an army to fight him?"

Lorna frowned "Well, how else do you meet a great warrior?"

"He's not a warrior." Amy snapped.

"Then why is he called the Doctor?" The lights went out, cutting their conversation short. Lorna's voice quavered "It's starting. Please listen to me."

The Doctor idly spun the chair in a lazy semi circle, staring at the screen. "Why even do it? Even if you could get your hands on a brand new Time Lord, what for?" he said to himself. He kicked his foot against the floor, watching the room spin passed as he spun round in several quick, dizzying circles. When he stopped the chair he jumped violently, caught off guard by the sight of Madame Korvarian on the console screen.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm a long way away. But I like to keep tabs on you. The child, then. What do you think?" Korvarian said lazily.

"What is she?" The Doctor asked, recovering quickly.

Madame Korvarian smiled "A weapon. And hope," The Doctor frowned and Korvarian laughed. "A weapon," she explained "And hope. Hope in this endless, bitter war in which she will be the perfect weapon."

"What war? Against who?" The Doctor spat.

"The war against you, Doctor." Madame Korvarian laughed.

A white cone of light appeared around the TARDIS. Vastra raised her hand and cautiously touched the light.

"What's that?" Amy asked.

"It's a forcefield." Vastra said, drawing her hand back quickly. There was several loud thuds.

"And that's the doors locking." Lorna said.

"It would appear we're not going anywhere." Vastra muttered.

"I warned you." Lorna said quietly.

A rhythmic chant echoed throughout the quiet hangar.

"That's the attack prayer." Dorium breathed as the chant grew louder as the Headless Monks approached.

"This is where we'll make our stand. Clear lines of sight on all approaches." Vastra commanded.

Rory pulled Amy away from them, concealing her and the baby behind a tall stack of boxes.

"No offence to the others, but let them all die first, okay?" Amy said.

Rory smiled at her "You're so Scottish." He turned and headed back to the others when he heard Vastra call "Centurion! You're needed."

"There should be some plasma pistols here somewhere," Lorna said, quickly rummaging through abandoned crates "They left everything."

"Then find them," Aderyn barked "I don't fancy my chances against them with nothing but a sword."

"We don't need to fight them," Dorium said cheerfully "I'm friends to the Monks. They know me."

"They also know that you sold them out to the Doctor." Rory pointed out.

"Oh, they'll understand it's only me. Only silly old me." Dorium said. Guns were pushed into Vastra, Jenny and Aderyn's hands and Dorium stepped into the darkness, arms outstretched "Mister Maldovar, get back here!" Vastra shouted after him.

"Arm yourself fool." Strax yelled. But he paid them no attention. Soon Dorium Maldovar was consumed by the darkness. The chanting grew faster and louder. There was a metallic swish followed by a sickening thud!. They held their breath. Two Headless Monks emerged from the shadows, escorting the headless body of Dorium. Vastra and Jenny took a protective step closer to Aderyn. The three of them raised their weapons. Rory drew his sword and a small hand gun. Strax and Lorna armed themselves quickly.

"Protect the child," Vastra said "At all costs protect the child."

"A child is not a weapon!" The Doctor shouted at the screen. He was getting very annoyed with Madame Korvarian. She kept smiling and laughing as if this was all some sort of game.

"Oh, give us time. She can be. She will be." Korvarian said in a knowing whisper.

"Except you've already lost her, and I swear I will never let you anywhere near her again." The Doctor said, quickly calming at the thought. But any relief he felt was short lived when Madame Korvarian laughed again.

"Oh, Doctor. Fooling you once was a joy, but fooling you twice the same way? It's a privilege."

The Doctor thought about this statement for a second. When he realised what she meant, he ran quickly from the room.

With Vastra and Jenny refusing to leave her side, Aderyn soon found herself taking down Monks with surprising ease. Jenny and Vastra had discarded the guns fairly quickly. They used swords to block deadly blows from the Monks as Aderyn let out a volley of rapid gunfire, hitting the Monks with shocking accuracy. When she threw the weapon aside, ammo spent, she drew her own sword. The Doctor had been right, she was an amateur. But she had picked up some skills with a sword. She just hoped that she was good enough. The hangar was alive with a deafening cacophony of clashing swords, gunshots and shouts. But soon one shout drowned out everything else. It was Amy shouting for Rory as the baby in her arms dissolved into a pool of Flesh. Aderyn and Rory ran towards her, both swinging wildly at any Monk who dared approach them. But they knew it was too late.
