"The whole city has come to hear what Lleu has to say," Ianto smiled and took Jack's shoulders and pushed him so he would start walking to the stage.
"Ianto, listen to me, please!" Jack whispered yelled.
"Good luck," Ianto said. Lleu was already talking and just about to say Jack's name, or Captain Jackson Harness' name.
"And here he is! Captain Jackson Harness!" Lleu clapped.
Oh great…Jack thought putting on a smile.
Andy and John were off to the side of the crowd watching the sated. "Look at them, clapping for Thhim, it sickens me,"
John stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the side stone wall. "Let them cheer," They walked off the side. Taking the box, John chucked it down onto the ground letting it roll. A brief flash of light, and a mechanical grinding sound.
"You know, Jack, I really—" the Doctor looked up from the floor. "Oh, hello. You're not Jack,"
"Not even close," an evil grin was spread across John's face. "I am your master now,"
"Oh are you, then?" the Doctor asked.
"And if you are the person to go to get a few wishes, I wish to rule as King!" John clapped his hands in delight and laughed. "This should be brilliant," he lsaid.
Lleu was just ending his speech when the clouds overhead became extremely dark and ominous. "Oh it's just some rain…" the trees started whipping around. "Well, maybe something a little more dangerous," A tremendous flash of light appeared.
John stepped out into the crowd, wearing Lleu's garb. The now former king looked at his own clothing. A pair of jeans, and a polo shirt. "Now the fun has just begun," John said.
"You evil betrayer," Lleu spat on the ground.
Andy walked up behind John and raised a finger. "That's King evil Betrayer, to you," he smiled sarcastically.
"Are you sure about that? The TARDIS is just sitting in my flat," Jack stated, confident.
"Finders keepers, Harness," John stood off to the side and reveled the Doctor's mode of transportation just off to the side. Jack was gob smacked.
"Sorry, Jack, have to abide by the rules, or well, the whole world might implode. Maybe not to that degree, but you get my point," the Doctor stated.
"John, I order you to cease!" yelled Lleu.
"You're not the king anymore, Jones. I rule you!" John yelled. The crowd turned their attention to John clapping and cheering at the new leader. Ianto stood on the stage, glaring.
Andy laughed. "Why, I am not surprised," he said.
"If you will not bow to me, then I will make you. Doctor, I wish to be all powerful!" John yelled. Another cloud of smoke and a bright flash of light. John was holding a staff.
"Oh, a staff? Seems like the wishing department is getting more funding," he joked. "Now where were we? Ah yes," John pointed the staff at Jack and Owen. A bright blue and yellow light surrounded the two. By the time Jack could even think about what was going on, a poof and cloud of snow engulf the man. He sat up and brushed the cold melting snow off his arms. Standing up shivering, he walked over to try and find Owen. He was passed out.
"Owen?" He slapped his face. "Shit, I'm sorry I caused all of this," he said. Something tapped the back of his shoulder. Jack turned around and saw the carpet.
Owen grunted. "It feels like I just got punched in the face...what the fuck? Did we in the middle of Antarctica?" Owen asked, still a little dazed.
"I think we're in Greenland, per say, maybe the in the valleys to be more specific. Good thing we have the carpet," Jack smiled. "Let's get back to Cardiff!"
"Oh, Ianto?" John asked while he was sitting on Lleu's throne.
Ianto came walking up, wearing a deep red shirt, with a classic suit on. "Yes, sir," he said, and gave the requested apple.
"Someone as handsome as you shouldn't be serving me. Personally, you should be on the arm of one of the most powerful men in the world. What do you say, eyecandy?" he smiled. Ianto took the closest glass of wine and threw it at John.
"I would be dead before I married you," Ianto spat.
John formed his hands into fists, but restrained himself, before he hit Ianto. "You know, this could be solved with one simple thing. Oh, Doctor?" John looked around.
"Yes?" the Doctor answered, he came from basically out of nowhere.
"I wish for Prince Ianto to fall desperately in love with me,"
"Ah, did I tell you the rules, I think I—" the Doctor was cut off.
"You will do as I say!" yelled John. The Doctor shrugged and snapped his fingers.
Ianto looked through the window. Jack and Owen were staring through the window, motioning to play along. "Your King you say? I'd be more than happy too," he smiled and pulled his suit tight. The Doctor was flabbergasted.
John smiled. "That's much better. Now, eyecandy, tell me more about me," he insisted.
"Your jacket is extremely well tailored…" Ianto cringed. John walked over to Ianto.
"Everything under control?" Jack asked.
The Doctor smiled. "Jack, nice to see you again," he said.
"Not so loud," Jack whispered.
"You know I can't help you, right? I'm under new control,"
"Don't you remember that I'm a con-man? I'll improvise," Jack kept watching the
"Go on," he smiled.
"And your hair…it's so…how do I describe it…amazing," Ianto had a little bit of uncertainly in his voice, yet John didn't catch it. He motioned Jack to come over. Andy saw the duo.
"John, I think," Andy was cut off by Owen.
"A little chloroform can't hurt," he smiled.
"What about the con-man?" John asked.
"What con-man?" Ianto contorted his face. John smiled. Andy fell over, managing to knock over one of the bowls resting on the pedestal. John turned his head, almost seeing the two men, but Ianto moved his head and pressed his lips against John. Jack raised his eyebrows, while Owen furrowed his eyebrows and contorted his face. Ianto dropped his stopwatch. John picked it up, only to see a small reflection. His eyes widened.
"You! How many times do I have to kill you, Jack?" John ran over to Jack, hitting him hard on the back, knocking him face down, with the staff.
"Get the box!" Jack sputtered. Ianto ran, but was caught by John. Ianto struggled to get out of his grip, yet eventually was put into the cage not too far away from where he originally sat.
"Your time is up," John said. He walked over to Jack and kneeled. "Things are coming to an end quickily," Jack tried to stand. Blood an dsweat covered his face. Finally standing up, Jack took a couple of deep breaths.
"Afraid to actually fight me? Come on, you fucker," Jack spat, confident in what he was doing.
"Oh, I'm just getting started,"
"Jack, go for the legs!" The Doctor yelled. John looked at him.
"You're supposed to be on my side, is that right?" John inquired.
The Doctor was unimpressed. "Go, go John. If you can't beat him, well…that's great!" Jack ran up to the cage, looking at the lock. "Ianto, you're going to have to stand as far away as possible,"
"What are you going to do? Shoot it?" Ianto questioned.
"Yes, actually," Jack shot the lock, opening it.
"You think you can out run me?" John laughed.
"I think so," Jack took out his webley, and shot John in the right shoulder. The force of impact from the bullet only thrusted his shoulder back, with the slight color of red around the area. Jack tried to open the door, yet it was stuck.
"Hang on, Ianto!"
"You fool, you thought you could over power me?" John laughed. "Without the Doctor, you're just another person on the bloody street,"
The Doctor! He has more power than him! Jack thought. "Well, the Doctor has more power than you'll ever have!" Jack finally said aloud. John was frightened. He was never defeted.
"He gave you the power, and he could easily take it awawy," Jack said. The Doctor walked up to him, slightly confused about what was happening.
"Jack, erm…why are we brining myself into this again?" the Doctor asked.
"Trust me, I'm your friend, remember?" Jack smiled. He faced John. "Why don't you just deal with the fact that you will always be second in command?"
"You're absolutely right. Doctor, my final wish, since the last one, obviously didn't work, I wish to be an all powerful granter!" John yelled.
"You asked for it," he shrugged and faced Jack. "I hope your plan works," the Doctor said as he snapped his fingers.
