The next morning...or what could be considered as morning on the TARDIS...found Rose, Amy and Jaime in the training room. Earlier, Rose had been in the kitchen trying to make breakfast and only succeeded in making a mess because of her Telekinesis. At one point she almost hit a surprised Amy with a pan. Luckily the ginger ducked just in time and asked how long Rose had the ability. Rose apologised and explained where the T.K came from. When Jaime turned up she decided to take Rose to the training room. Amy followed out of curiosity, and when they entered the room she realised she'd been in there before.
Jaime walked over to the table and picked up the HSP.
"What is that thing?" Amy asked, pointing at the thing that looked like a coaster.
"This 'thing'?" Jaime raised her brows at Amy. "It's a Holographic Sparring Partner." She replied. *Begin.* she spoke to it and they watched as it whirred into life, the Hologram from the previous training session appearing.
"Welcome to the Holographic Sparring Partner Mark1. Hardlight Hologram Avatar1.1: Delta Sasco. You have one setting saved under 'Omni'. Would you like to use it?"
Amy stared at the hologram, it's ginger hair looking naturally flyaway. It also appeared to be wearing a duel blue version of the Union flag. Rose recognised the colours and pattern from the London 2012 Olympics.
"Who is this?" Amy asked, still staring at the Hologram.
"Jus' a friend from the future." Jaime replied.
"I remember her," Rose spoke up. "Isn't she the one we saw on Fiction that time?"
"Aye, tha's the one." Jaime turned to the hologram. "Nae. This time I want tae use Telekinetic Combat." She told the hologram.
"Telekinetic Combat chosen." The hologram replied. "It is recommended you use the appropriate avatar." Well, this was rather interesting!
"What does that mean?" Rose asked. "How many avatars does it have?"
"A few of them. But I didnae expect this." Jaime's brows were furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean? What's the appropriate avatar for Telekinetic Combat?"
Suddenly the hologram changed to a different looking version of Delta, except her ginger hair had gone wild, her clothing was grey and she had a wolf-like expression on her face. "Avatar 1.2: Wolfy." The hologram said, it's accent a mix of American and English.
"It's just the same person," Amy spoke up, looking at it. "Except her accent is different."
Jaime shook her head. "Nae, it's not. Delta has a multiple personality disorder. This is her multiple, she's very different." She just wasn't sure HOW different. She felt disgust from Amy.
"What? Someone actually programmed a mental condition in a hologram combat thing? That is just..."
"Weird?" Rose queried.
"Horrible. Creepy even." Amy said.
"Holographic Sparring Partner." Jaime corrected, somewhat annoyed.
"Settings saved under 'Omni-2'." The hologram then said. "If you have long hair please tie it back."
The dark haired Scot sighed. "Och, of course!" At least she didn't have to go through the rigmarole like last time. They both tied their hair back and once they did that the hologram spoke up again.
"Fight mode activated, chat mode activated." And the hologram became animated, growling like an actual Wolf at the people in the room until it took in its surroundings. "This ain't the right environment," the Wolfy hologram said. "Because if you want to fight with me it's going to get a whole lot fiery."
Fear washed off Amy and Rose. "What does it mean?" The ginger asked and jumped a little when Wolfy turned to Amy, a sneer on her face.
"Who're you calling an it?" She growled, approaching Amy followed by putting her arm around her shoulders. "I'm a she and I'm Pyrokinetic, see!" Wolfy held up her other hand and a ball of flame appeared. "You really should be nice to me." The hologram said, ignoring Amy's panicked cries of fear. Her eyes eyes were wide and she tried to escape from Wolfy but she held the ginger Scots-girl close.
Alrigh', ye've had yer fun," Jaime spoke up. "Ye can let her go righ' now."
The look the Wolfy hologram gave her was an odd one, like she didn't care who she was. Then her eyes moved to Rose, who was stood next to her, and Wolfy laughed. It wasn't a pleasant laugh, more like a laugh from a crazy person, somehow looking twisted evil. Rose was reminded of the Master, making her shudder.
"Well, look who it is. If it ain't Rose Tyler, the OTHER big bad Wolf!" Wolfy growled.
Rose jumped in fright when the hologram mentioned her name. Jaime frowned, confused. It was intriguing as to why Wolfy took an instant dislike to Rose, considering they'd never met this version of Delta before.
"How do you know me?" Asked a shaken Rose.
"She doesnae," Jaime told her. "She probably knows a parallel version of ye. Or perhaps heard of ye."
"I've always wanted to meet my rival." The Wolfy hologram growled.
"Aye, right, wha'ever. Why dinnae ye let go of Amy, then we'll get started."
"No, why don't I make this more fun. Let's play hunt!" The hologram clicked it's fingers and suddenly the room turned into a forest.
"Okay, ye no' supposed tae be able tae dae tha'." Jaime muttered, looking around.
"Yeah? Well I think we've got a bigger problem." Rose said, Jaime looking at her. "The hologram is missing. Along with Amy!"
She was right. The Wolfy hologram was nowhere to be found. Neither was Amy. "Shit!" She muttered, wondering if it had been a good idea to let the human come with them.
"What now?" Rose asked, a hint of annoyance coming off her. "There's a psychopathic hologram on the loose that hates me for some other reason and has Amy hostage. What do we do?"
Jaime scowled. "She wanted a hunt, she's got one." She said and began to follow the faint emotion she could feel. "C'mon!" Rose sighed and followed her.
As they walked through the woods calling out for Amy and keeping their eyes peeled for the Hologram, Rose had something else on her mind. Jaime could tell because she could hear her.
"Shields up, Rose!" She told the blonde who apologised and pulled her mental shield up with ease. She left her Psychic Shield down for the moment. "Wha"s on ye mind anyway?" Jaime asked, looking over at Rose.
At first she was apprehensive until some sort of worry overcame her. "It's just...this Wolfy is some kind of...mental disorder that apparently knows me..."
"Or a parallel you." Jaime added.
"Right, okay. The time we met that Delta girl on Fiction, she spoke about her personality disorder..."
"I think the proper medical term is 'Dissociative Identity Disorder'." Jaime was surprised she knew that considering she didn't before when she was still fully human.
Rose smirked a little before continuing on. "...but people with D.I.D rarely know what their multiple did..."
"Or multiples."
"Stop interrupting me!"
"Alright, sorry!" Jaime muttered, holding her hands up in defence.
"People with D.I.D lose minutes, hours, days. Or even find themselves in a different location."
"Wha' are ye gettin' at?" Jaime asked.
Rose looked away for a moment, the worry washing off her, then looked back at Jaime. "It's like that with Bad Wolf. I mean, the first time was with the Daleks..."
"And ye totally kicked arse."
Rose just waved it off. "...one moment I was staring into the heart, hearing this weird singing, the next I'm lying on the floor of the TARDIS and the Doctor is at the console."
"'That's right, I sang a song and the Daleks ran away'." Jaime quoted quite randomly causing Rose to gasp and halt in her steps. The teen sensed something wrong, stopped and looked back at Rose.
"You know, it's really weird when you quote someone, or even talk about something as if you were there!"
"I cannae help tha'," Jaime replied. "Ye watch the episodes so many times ye able tae quote the lines off by heart or even say 'em at the same time!" Rose just shook her head and continued walking, the Scots-girl following shortly after.
"Anyway, I couldn't remember what happened and it wasn't until later I found out. It was just the Daleks so I didn't mind. I did it to save the Doctor."
"And Jack."
"Of course, and Jack." Guilt washed off Rose. "Now Bad Wolf took over again and it's like one of those disorders. I don't know what it did on Freedonia."
Jaime frowned. "How did ye know wha' ye did? As Bad Wolf?" She asked. In 'The Christmas Invasion' she seemed to not know what she did, and by the time 'Doomsday' came along she did.
"The Doctor told me, after a little persuasion."
"And this time?"
"I asked him, twice. He seemed to clam up and told me not to worry about it." Rose answered.
Jaime grunted in thought. "Maybe he thinks ye'll act like I did when I found out what happened to Fiction." She sighed. "It's never easy knowing I destroyed one planet and devastated another, all because of a stupid hallucinogenic flower."
Rose looked at her, feeling a hint of guilt that was not hers. "Yeah, but I'm not like that. So what exactly did Bad Wolf do?"
Jaime shook her head.
"C'mon Jaime, you were there!"
"Nae, it's no' tha'. I'm going to tell ye, then ye'll get all angry and say 'why didn't he tell me'. The exact same thing I said after the Trickster showed me what happened to Friction and Fiction."
Rose wondered if she was checking the Timelines again or was using another part of her abilities. "Okay, fine. I won't say those words, just..."
"Cos the Doctor is only lookin' out for ye. He cares a great deal for ye."
Rose smiled at this. "I know. I've felt it sometimes."
Jaime nodded slightly and took a deep breath. "As a warning to the women if they didn't free their slaves, Bad Wolf obliterated that police officer...or whatever they called the police on that planet."
Rose stopped walking, looking a bit stunned. "Wow!" She gasped.
"Aye, tha'. And she's a wee bit scary." Jaime replied. Just the mare Telepathic presence of Bad Wolf scared the living daylights out of her.
"No wonder they were giving me all those 'gifts'." She said and started walking with Jaime again. "You know, I showed the Doctor one of those Chastity things. Even suggested he try it..."
Jaime raised her brows at Rose, surprised. "Ye didnae? Wha' did he say?"
"He didn't say much, except to run a mile."
"Ye could always sneak it on him, next time he strays."
Rose chuckled bitterly. "Probably another member of a Royal Family." She said.
"Ooooh, his secret weakness," Jaime added. "It's well known he has a soft spot for royalty."
"Anyway, he'll probably use the Sonic on it." Rose waved off the suggestion. The sound of Jaime snorting with humour made the blonde look at her curiously.
"John tried doing that. Ended up getting shocked for it."
"Oh, owch!" Rose's brown eyes were wide.
"But tae be fair I had the same thing happen, my Electrokinetic went off as some sort of warning system."
"No wonder he seemed moody." Rose realised.
Jaime nodded and then laughed. "Hah, look at us two, discussing ways to control our men!" They glanced at each other before falling into fits of hysterical laughter. Suddenly a fireball went whizzing over their heads, making them duck as it hit a tree behind them.
"What the hell?" Exclaimed a wide-eyed, surprised Rose.
"What are you all bloody giggling about?" Wolfy growled angrily at the two females.
"That's none of your business!" Rose bit back. "Where's Amy?"
"Having a little nap." The Wolfy hologram growled back, the most twisted evil smirk appearing on her face.
"What did you do?" An annoyed Rose raised her voice.
"Just knocked her out." The hologram continued with the sick smirk, enough to make Rose shudder.
"Ye know, ye're really pissing me off," Jaime said as she approached Wolfy. "Nae wonder Delta kept ye locked away. Ye are are nasty, vindictive wee bitch who thrives on hurtin' people jus' for the hell of it. I've only met ye as a hologram, I'd hate tae meet ye in real life!"
The hologram seemed to take offence at this and went to punch Jaime with an outraged growl. Luckily her stealth kicked in and she was able to dodge the punch. It just enraged Wolfy even more and it didn't help when Jaime continued to dodge her strikes.
"Bloody stay still!" She snarled, trying to follow Jaime's path.
"Wha'? Am I tae fast for ye? Tha's Telekinetic Enhanced Conditioning for ye!" The teenager teased and dodged another punch from the hologram.
"Jaime!" Rose shouted, fear washing off her.
"It's dandy, jus' teaching her a few things."
In reply Wolfy snarled something and activated her fire. Jaime just laughed at the hologram, confusing it. "I'm Pyrokinetic as well, I jus' dinnae use it much." And then she grabbed one of Wolfy's fiery hands which made Rose cry out, only Jaime didn't seem harmed by it. It only felt warm. "See! Fireproof! The dark-haired Scot stated before punching the hologram in the face. "Sting like a bee, float like a butterfly!"
Wolfy stumbled back, a surprised look on her face. But that didn't last long. She snarled at Jaime and rushed her. The teen twirled around the hologram and caught it in a chokehold. The hologram's reaction was a swift one. It fought back by grabbing Jaime behind, then flipped her over its head where she landed on the ground with a harsh stunning thud. Afterwards, Wolfy took a hold of her by the throat and pulled her up off the floor.
"Get out of my way!" She growled and with her hologram strength threw Jaime away from her. The teen slammed against a tree, a loud crack emanating from it, and once again appeared knocked out.
"Jaime!" Rose worried and tried to rush over to her friend, only for a fireball to stop her in her tracks. She stared at Wolfy with wide-eyes.
"Now that just leaves the two of us!" The Wolfy hologram growled. "Two big bad wolves...but which one is the weakest?" The hologram smirked evilly.
Rose gulped fearfully. She had faced off against the likes of Daleks, Cybermen, Gelth, possessed Ood, a creature in a TV and a werewolf. Along with tons of creatures in Pete's World. But never had she ever had to deal with a borderline psychopathic hologram before. A one that took an instant dislike to her. "Look, I don't even know you!" Rose protested.
Instead of listening, Wolfy just grinned and threw blasts of fire at her apparent rival. Rose squeaked and held her hands up expecting to get roasted. Except it went nowhere near her, though it still felt hot. A telekinetic shield had formed in front of her and the fire spread apart, going past her.
"Blimey!" Rose uttered in surprise. When the blasts of fire stopped, Wolfy stared in confusion when she saw that Rose was unharmed. This time the blonde smirked. "That's the handy thing with telekinesis," she said to the hologram. "You can do just about anything with it. Like this!" She remembered seeing Jaime do it once so she pulled back her arm and Telekinetically Tyler-slapped the hologram, only it was a little harder than expected. The Wolfy hologram went tumbling over, skidding across the ground for a couple of feet with a howl. "Oh wow! I think I just done my mum proud with that slap!" She said.
When she was about to check on Jaime she was suddenly bowled over by the snarling hologram. "No! You don't get rid of me that easily!" Wolfy growled and tried to get her hands around Rose's neck.
Luckily for the blonde she blasted Wolfy away from her. Unluckily, Wolfy was back on her feet within seconds and running at her opponent. With a swipe of her hand the hologram's feet were taken out from under her and she landed back on the ground. Rose quickly rushed to her feet. It just seemed the damn thing wouldn't give up trying to hurt her.
"What the hell is your problem with me?" Rose angrily shouted at it. "I don't even know you!" In response Wolfy shot fire sparks at her and Rose cried out in surprise, covering her face with her hands.
Using that as a distraction the hologram nipped up to her feet and shot several fireballs at Rose. She was so surprised by this that she disappeared in a golden flash and re-appeared several feet away from her original spot. "Woah!" Rose uttered, disorientated. Dizziness took over and she fell to the ground.
"Now that's just cheating!" Wolfy was stood over her with that annoying smirk. "But you won't be doing it again." The hologram raised its arm and just as she was about to strike, the ground rumbled very violently, knocking Wolfy off her feet with a cry of surprise.
Jaime was up and very pissed off. "End session!" She shouted. The hologram stood, turning to Jaime.
"Fight mode off, chat mode off." The hologram de-animated and became monotone. "Thank you for using the Holographic Sparring Partner Mark1." It now stood with a blank expression on its face.
"I am so not using that avatar again." Jaime growled, walking over to Rose as she stood up, still looking discombobulated. She peered at the blonde with narrowed eyes. "Did I see ye teleport jus' now?"
"That felt really weird," Rose muttered. "I'm not doing that again."
"But ye've teleported dozens of times."
"Yes, with your help. Doesn't mean I like it. Feels like motion sickness."
Jaime raised her brows incredulously. "Ye cannae get motion sickness from teleporting."
"Well, I can!" Rose rolled her eyes. "And anyway, we still haven't found Amy." Jaime nodded in understanding and then they both started calling for her.
"End simulation." A new and familiar voice spoke up and the room suddenly became bare.
Amy was lying on the floor several feet away, having been knocked out, but now she was stirring. "Amy! Are you okay?" Rose rushed to her and went to help her up.
"What's going on here?" The familiar voice spoke up again and Jaime looked over at the door to see that it was the Doctor. He was looking over at Rose with a hint of concern.
"I just had a 'sparring' session with a psychopathic hologram!" Rose replied to him which made the Time Lord turn his attention to the still present hologram.
"Oh?"
"It shot fire," Amy groaned out. "Then it kidnapped me and knocked me out."
He stared suspiciously at the hologram, realising there was a familiarity about it. "Looks familiar," he stated. "Have we come across her before?"
"This is Wolfy, one of Delta's multiples. She said she knew Rose but maybe it was a parallel Rose." Jaime said to the Doctor.
*Finish.* She then telepathically spoke and the hologram disappeared when the HSP turned off with a whirr. She caught the HSP and put it in her pocket.
"Did you know it was psychopathic?" The Doctor asked Jaime. He was annoyed she might have put his Rose in danger.
"No! I wasnae even ganna use the Wolfy avatar 'til the HSP suggested it." Jaime cried out. "We only came in here tae help train Rose's telekinesis."
"It's true, Doctor." Rose said in a bid to calm him as he scanned Amy with the Sonic. She looked fine enough, no damage done.
"Yes, well, let the professionals handle it." He said and Jaime silently held up her hands in some sort of mock gesture. "By the way Amy, where did you leave our guests?" The Doctor asked the ginger.
Her eyes widened in realisation. "Oh, there's this huge apartment. That's where Larry is!" She told him.
