"Ruri."

Ruri gasped, her head lifted up seeing the Doctor was awake... He looked concerned, his eyes looking kind again.

"It's okay, the Cyberplanner's sleeping... Recharging if you wish." He informed her. "Are you alright?" He asked softly.

"Better now you're here." She breathed out.

"Hold on-" He then reached into his pocket and pulled out the sonic, aiming it at the restraints. They popped undone as he smiled slightly and put the sonic away. "There." Ruri slowly stood up, rubbing her wrists. She needed to get the ring on the metal piece somehow... She couldn't let the Doctor know or the Cyberplanner may find out... She began to step towards him. He then looked at his hands realising he wasn't in any restraints. "Right, that's good." He noted, not glancing at Ruri.

"Whilst the Cyberplanner's sleeping or weak or whatever, you're able to gain control again?" She asked, staying a couple of feet away, just incase.

"Yes... At the moment I have the upper hand... With him recharging and all-" The Doctor told her casually, but soon cut himself off as his voice and expression changed. "Actually, he has as much upper hand as you do." He then smirked, Ruri stepped back again, seeing him move. "Some very dodgy moves in his head." He muttered before turning his attention back to Ruri, who still had slight tear stains on her cheeks. "Hello, flesh girl." He smirked, seeing the fear in her eyes. "Fantastic." His voice changed, turning northern. "I'm the Cyberplanner." Ruri looked confused. It soon changed again. "Allons-y. Oh, you should see the state of these neurons. He's had some cowboys in here." He stood up. "Ten complete re-jigs."

"Re-jigs?" Ruri asked quietly, barely audible as he turned to her.

"Yes. Re-jigs. Keep up." He paused, his eyes changing slightly. "Oh... I know who you are." He grinned. An uneasy grin. "You're Ruri Rodgers... The girl who he met twice... Oh, he's very interested in you."

"Why?" She asked, narrowing her eyes. "He said that... He said that not many people can bump into him... But, I'm nothing special!" She exclaimed, shaking her head.

"Oh, dear me." He tilted his head, fake sympathy in his voice. "Listen, soon we'll wake." He smirked, stepping towards her. "We may be rebuilding ourselves, but we'll strip you down for spare parts, then build another spaceship and move on." Ruri stayed frozen to the spot as he got closer. "You can either die or live on as one of us." He grinned. "Your choice."

"Is there a third option?" She tried to joke, but it came out as a plead, causing him to laugh. "I know the Doctor can hear me... He's done it before. A moment ago. He had the upper hand, no matter what you say." She challenged, forming a plan in her head. He growled slightly.

"Silly flesh girl. He can't even access the lips." He informed her, extremely close to her. "Make your choice..." He smirked, his eyes dark. Ruri didn't realise she was backed against the metal wall as the Cyberplanner towered over her. She held her hands behind her back as she twisted the gold ring off her finger, holding it tightly in her right hand.

"I choose..." She said quietly, looking up at him, her expression blank. "A third option." He narrowed his eyes as she quickly moved her hand up to the metal piece on his face, the gold ring connecting with the metal, being sucked onto it, stuck. His eyes changed, turning back to kind... The Doctor was back.

"Ruri!" He exclaimed, a smile on his face. "That was brilliant!" He gestured to her. She gave a relieved sigh, hugging him tightly, burying her face into his chest as he instantly hugged her back, reassuring her everything was fine. He then broke the hug. "3 minutes and 24 seconds until the Cyberplanner gains control again... Let's go!" He grabbed her hand, running with her all the way back to the room where the TARDIS was. The Cybermen were in another room, unaware of the two. The Doctor stopped outside the TARDIS, remembering the lock the cybers had on the ship. He walked round the back of the box, seeing a load of wires leading to a power box in the wall. He got out the sonic and began to get the wires off the TARDIS, breaking the bonds. "It's only a break in the link... It'll return eventually, dragging us back here..." He turned to Ruri, seeing her watch him. "To break the link with the Cyberplanner and the lock we need to blow up the ship..." He told her. "Get in the TARDIS, quick." He ordered her.

"What about you?" She asked quickly, stepping back. "You're coming too right?"

"Yes, of course! I just need to do this! Please! We have 1 minute 20 seconds left until I can't do anything!" He exclaimed, urging her to get in the TARDIS. She hesitantly did as he told her, opening the door and stepping in, but leaving it open for him. The Doctor ran to the corridor, heading towards the room where the cybermen were. He decided to pretend he was the Cyberplanner, hoping they wouldn't notice. He wandered towards a control panel, looking at all the switches and buttons. He got out the sonic and began to rewire things, the cybermen oblivious. '50 seconds until the Cyberplanner gains control.' He told himself, hurrying the pace. It got down to 25 seconds before he finally did it, pressing the countdown for the ships self destruct. That's when the cybermen knew something was wrong... They all turned towards him, watching as he ran past them, all the way to the TARDIS. He ran in the box, shutting the door, sprinting to the console as he set new coordinates and they took off, leaving in time as the cyber ship blew up. The TARDIS jolted about as they both held on tight.

The TARDIS landed, the pair breathing out in relief. Ruri saw the metal piece had fallen off of his face as she smiled, glad that it was over. The Doctor held the metal piece in his hand as he took the ring away from it and walked towards Ruri. He held out his hand, as it was empty, waiting for her to place hers in his. She looked confused but did it, placing hers over his in the same position he had his, palm face up. His other hand then went over hers in his as he handed her the ring back, giving her a small smile of thanks. She smiled back at him as he let go of her hand, walking towards the TARDIS door.

"Where are we?" Ruri asked, following him outside, showing they were outside her flats. She looked round, seeing everything was normal... Except... There was a crack in the ground. "What's that?" She nodded towards it. The Doctor turned to it, inspecting it.

"Nothing to worry about... Just the shock from the cyber ship. It's to be expected... Considering it blew up below here." He shrugged, turning back to the TARDIS, kicking some stones. "So..." He paused. "What now? What's in stall for Ruri Rodgers?" He glanced at her.

"Not a lot... I guess, I go back to normal life." She shrugged. "Well as normal as it gets after you've seen a bunch of metal men trying to take over the world." The Doctor laughed lightly.

"Yeah, I guess." There was a long pause. "Unless..." He sounded unsure.

"What?"

"You come with me?" He folded his arms, leaning against the blue box.

"What? In there with you to travel everywhere and anywhere?" She asked, folding her arms too.

"Well... Yeah." He smirked. "What about planets?"

"What about them?" She narrowed her eyes.

"Wanna see some?" He raised an eyebrow, an adventurous glint in his eye. Ruri smirked at him before looking down.

"And leave everything behind?" She said quietly. "Ema? My parents? The flat? What do I tell them?"

"It's a time machine." He said in a serious tone. "We can go now and be back in time for tea!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands. "So... What do you say?" He asked, hopeful.

"Okay." She said, a blank expression, nodding. The Doctors eyes lit up.

"Okay?" He repeated, a small smile forming.

"Okay." She nodded, a smile appearing on her face. "Because, I know there are going to be bad days." She paused. "But I know there are going to be good days too." She watched as he moved his folded arms, one arm moving up as he clicked his fingers, the door opening. Ruri smirked, walking towards the door.

"Geronimo."
