Chapter 14: Here Comes the Big Bad Wolf.

"You know the Doctor. You understand him. You will predict his actions."

"Why should I?" Rose asked looking at the Dalek with disgust and a little bit of fear, out of everything she'd seen in all her travels the Daleks were one of the few creatures that still terrified her.

"Predict! Predict! Predict!"

"TARDIS detected in flight."

"Launch missiles. Exterminate!"

"The TARDIS doesn't have any defences. You're going to kill them." Rose said feeling the TARDIS's anger in the back of her mind as she detected the missiles coming towards her. "Fine I'll tell you what the Doctor has planned!" Rose said in a last ditch attempt.

"You will predict!"

"Fine he has this room. This room is filled with things I would never had guessed the Doctor would own, let alone use…I was told not to go in there but I could help myself. I did. And I found something truly terrifying."

"Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!"

"The Doctor will defeat you by –" Rose felt the TARDIS materialise around her and Dalek one, as she so affectingly called it, "wearing a fluffy, pink tutu."

"Rose, get down!" The Doctor shouted and Rose dropped to the floor just as the Dalek took a shot at where she'd just been. Jack from the right of her took his shot before it could try again, hitting it, making it explode slightly.

"You did it." Rose said hugging the Doctor standing on tip toes, leaning in to his neck to smell his calming scent. "Knew who'd be by to pick me up."

"I told you I'd come and get you." The Doctor said pulling back to look at properly.

"I never doubted it. Not for one second."

"I did." The Doctor admitted looking ashamed.

"Hey, none of that." Rose said tipping his head slightly so she could look into his eyes, "I trust you. You're my Doctor. I know you'd do the impossible for me and I for you."

"You alright though?"

"Never better. I did tell the Daleks that you'd defeat them in a fluffy, pink tutu though…" Rose said her eyes dancing with hidden laughter, "Do you own a fluffy, pink tutu? Cause you now have to wear one."

"Only you Rose. Only you."

"What?"

"Only you'd be surrounded by Daleks and say something like that."

"Hate to break up the moment but we're still in trouble here." Jack said from his spot by the console, watching them, wondering when the hell they'd get to admitting their feelings.

"Jack!" Rose said going to him and giving him a hug.

"Welcome home." Jack said leaning down to her ear, he whispered, "So when are you going to tell the Doctor?"

"Hush now." Rose said swatting his arm, "We're surrounded by Daleks in the middle of a Dalek fleet heading to Earth and you want to talk about personal issues?"

"Might as well do it while we're still alive." Jack said with a shrug turning back to the Doctor. "One minute they're the greatest threat in the Universe, the next minute they vanished out of time and space."

"They went off to fight a bigger war. The Time War."

"I thought that was just a legend."

"I was there." The Doctor said his voice growing heavy as his anger and sorrow started to build, "The war between the Daleks and the Time Lords, with the whole of creation at stake. My people were destroyed, but they took the Daleks with them…I almost thought it was worth it. Now it turns out they died for nothing."

"They died for the Universe. For everyone else out there who couldn't protect themselves from them." Rose said quietly hoping that the Doctor would one day be able to see beyond his guilt and hurt.

"What're we going to do?" Jack asked.

The Doctor was silent for a moment before clapping his hands together once and making his way towards the ramp. "No good stood round here chin wagging. Human race, you'd gossip all day. The Daleks have got the answers. Let's go and meet the neighbours." He said as he threw open the doors.

"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" The Daleks cried together as they shot at the Doctor only to have the blasts absorbed by a forcefield extending a good three metres from the TARDIS.

"Is that it? Useless! Nul points. It's alright, come out. The forcefield can hold back anything." The Doctor said looking back to see that Rose was already standing behind him having followed him out. Jack walked out the TARDIS making sure to close the door after himself, the last thing anyone wanted was a Dalek getting inside her.

"Well almost anything."

"Yes, but I wasn't going to tell them that. Thanks."

"Sorry."

"Do you know what they called me in the ancient legends of the Dalek Homeworld? The Oncoming Storm. You might've removed all your emotions but I reckon right down deep in your DNA, there's one little spark left, and that's fear. Doesn't it just burn when you face me?" The Doctor said looking down the eye stalk of the closest Dalek, the others having backed away slightly, "So tell me. How did you survive the Time War? How did you survive while everything else burned?"

"They survive through me." The Doctor, Rose, and Jack all turned to see a huge Dalek with glass case holding the tentacle creature for all to see.

"Rose, Captain, this is the Emperor of the Daleks."

"You destroyed us, Doctor. The Dalek Race died in your inferno, but my ship survived, falling through time, crippled but alive."

"I get it." The Doctor said looking at the emperor with open hatred.

"Do not interrupt. Do not interrupt. Do not interrupt."

"I think you're forgetting something. I'm the Doctor, and if there's one thing I can do, it's talk. I've got five billion languages, and you haven't got one way of stopping me." The Doctor said turning towards the nearest Dalek, "So if anybody's going to shut up, it's YOU!" The Doctor shouted before turning back to face the emperor. "Okey dokey. So, where were we?"

"We waited here in the dark space, damaged but rebuilding. Centuries passed, and we waited quietly. Infiltrated the systems of Earth, harvesting the waste of humanity. The prisoners, the refugees, the dispossessed. They all came to us. The bodies were filtered, pulped, sifted. The seed of the human race is perverted. Only one cell in a billion was to be nurtured."

"So you created an army of Daleks out of the dead."

"That makes them part human."

"Those words are blasphemy."

"Do not blaspheme! Do no blaspheme! Do not blaspheme!"

"Everything human has been purged. I cultivated pure and blessed Daleks."

"Since when did the Daleks have a concept of blasphemy?" The Doctor asked curiously.

"I reached into the dirt and made new life. I am the God of all Daleks!"

"Worship him. Worship him! Worship him!"

"They're insane." The Doctor realised. "Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that's enough to drive anyone mad. But it's worse than that. Driven mad by your own flesh. The stink of humanity. You hate your own existence. And that makes them more deadly than ever." The Doctor looked around, "Come on, we're going." Rose and Jack followed the Doctor into the TARDIS without complaint.

"You may not leave my presence." They heard the emperor shout as the Doctor started the dematerialising process.

They rematerialized moments later back in the Game Station. The Doctor ran out of the TARDIS shocking some of the people still waiting.

"Turn everything up. All transmitters full power, wide open. Now! Do it!"

"What will this do?" Pavale asked while turning up the transmitters.

"Stops the Daleks from transmitting on board. How did you get on? Did you contact Earth?"

"Well, we tried to warn them, but all they did was suspend our license because we stopped transmitting the programmes."

"And the planet's just sitting there, defenceless." The Doctor said before turning around and spotting Lynda. "Lynda with a Y, what're you still doing on board? I told you to evacuate everyone."

"She wouldn't go." Pavale said.

"Didn't want to leave you." Lynda said with a shy smile at the Doctor.

"There weren't enough shuttles anyway, or I wouldn't be here. We've got about a hundred people stranded on Floor Zero."

"Didn't anyone learn from the Titanic? Always make sure you have enough lifeboats or shuttles." Rose muttered, only the Doctor heard her giving her a quick smile before moving around figuring out a plan.

"Oh my God. The Fleet is moving. They're on their way." Pavale said putting it up on the holo-screen so everyone could see.

This spurred the Doctor into movement moving over to one of the desks he started pulling out bits off the conduits.

"Dalek plan. Big mistake, because what have they left me with? Anyone?"

"A huge transmitter." Rose said standing next to Lynda.

"Correct Rose. A great big transmitter. This station. If I can change the signal, fold it back, sequence it, anyone?"

"You've got to be kidding."

"Give the man a medal!"

"A Delta Wave?"

"A Delta Wave." The Doctor agreed still pulling out bits of cable as he explained.

"What's a Delta Wave?"

"A wave of Van Cassadyne energy. It fries your brain. Stand in the way of a Delta Wave and your head gets barbequed."

"And this place can transmit a massive wave. Wipe out the Daleks!" Rose said with a smile as she watched the Doctor bounce around filled with hope.

"Well, get started and do it then."

"Trouble is, wave this size, building this big, brain as clever as mine, should take about, oh, three days? How long until the Fleet arrives?"

"Twenty two minutes."

Everyone felt as though the ground had suddenly dropped from beneath their feet slightly but they carried on. Rose watched from where she was stripping wires as Jack used the extrapolator to create a forcefield around them.

"You know you could die today." Rose said to Lynda who was working with her.

"I know."

"So why stay?"

"The Doctor. He already saved me once, I wasn't going to win. Who votes to save the sweet girl, right? Might as well die doing something good." Lynda said trying to sound as though she wasn't scared out of her mind.

"I understand." Rose said watching the Doctor, "He makes you feel like you can do anything, be anything. He makes you want to be a better person. He makes you a better person."

"Are you and he…?" Lynda asked looking between Rose and the Doctor.

"No." Rose said looking down, "I love him. With all my heart. But no. The Doctor hasn't realised yet, I don't think, but when we make it out of this I'm planning on telling him."

Lynda looked down feeling slightly crushed that the Doctor might already be taken.

"You know, if we survive this, you could come with us. You could travel the Universe. Time and space, living the next great adventure."

"You wouldn't mind? I don't want to get in the way."

"Lynda. You're sweet and kind. I doubt you get in anyone's way." Rose smiled at Lynda one last time before focusing back at the task in hand.

A few minutes later everyone looked up as Jack cried out, "Yes! We've now got a forcefield so they can't blast us out of the sky, but that doesn't stop the Daleks from physically invading."

"Do they know about the Delta Wave?"

"They'll have worked it out at the same time. So, they want to stop the Doctor. That means they've got to get to this level. Now, I can concentrate the extrapolator around the top six levels, five hundred to four nine five. So they'll penetrate the station below that at level four nine four and fight their way up."

"Who are they fighting?"

"Us."

"And what are we fighting with?"

"The guards had guns with basic bullets. That's enough to blow a Dalek wide open."

"There's five of us."

"Rose, you can help me." The Doctor called out, not wanting Rose anywhere near the front lines, "I need all these wires stripping bare."

"Right, now there's four of us."

"Then let's move it. Into the lift. Isolate the lift controls." The two workers moves towards the lift as Jack and Lynda stayed back for a moment.

"I just wanted to say thanks, I suppose, and I'll do my best."

"Me too." The Doctor said looking up, "And Rose was right, when we make it out of this alive. We can all go somewhere elsewhere. Barcelona sounds good right about now." The Doctor shook her hand as she walked towards the lift leaving Jack with Rose and the Doctor.

"It's been fun, but I guess this is goodbye."

"Don't be stupid. We'll do it. I promise you'll be fine." Rose said giving Jack a hug.

"Rose, you are worth fighting for." Jack said pulling back and giving her a brief kiss goodbye, "You should tell him." Jack whispered in her ear, "Tell him before it's too late." He moved away from her and stood in front of the Doctor, "Wish I'd never met you, Doctor. I was much better off as a coward." Jack said before kissing the Doctor. "See you in hell." He said as he walked off towards the lift.

"He'll be fine." Rose said. "We'll all be fine."

The Doctor and Rose worked in silence until the Doctor finally broke it.

"We could go away. The TARDIS could take us away. Let history take its course. We go to Marbella in 1989."

"You'd never do that."

"No, but you ask me to. Never even occurred to you, did it?"

"No. I wouldn't put you in that sort of position."

"But why?" The Doctor asked not understanding how Rose could still have complete faith in him after everything that had happened and that he was leading her to her death.

"Why what? Protect the universe over myself?" Rose asked standing up and moving closer to the Doctor, placing a hand on his cheek, "Because the universe is more important than one pink and yellow human. I would do anything to protect it and you from creatures like the Daleks. Do anything to protect the millions of people who they would kill, the woman, the children, the old, the young. How could I think I am more important than that?"

The Doctor looked at Rose and saw she had tears in her eyes but was refusing to let them fall. "You're wrong Rose Tyler. You're so much more important to the universe than you think."

Rose just laughed a quiet breathy laugh that sounded slightly hollow. Before Rose could response though the moment was broken by the computer the Doctor had linked up to the machine creating the Delta wave dinged. The Doctor ran over to it, his face falling as he read what it said before he turned around with a forced smile on his face. Grabbing Rose's hand he dragged her over to the TARDIS.

"Rose Tyler, you're a genius! We can do it! If I use the TARDIS to cross my old timeline…Yes!" Pushing the door open he pointed to button on the control panel, "Hold that down and keep its position."

"What's it do?" Rose asked knowing she had to play along.

"Cancels the buffers. If I'm very clever and I'm more than clever, I'm brilliant, I might just save the world…or rip it apart."

"I'd go for the first one, if you're taking votes."

"Me too. Now, I've just got to go and power up the Game Station. Hold on!" The Doctor ran out of the TARDIS turning around he pointed his sonic at the controls activating emergency protocol one, feeling relived that at least he managed to save Rose.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Rose shouted hitting the door, even though she knew she'd be back it still killed her that he'd send her away, even if he was trying to save her. Rose moved away from the console leaning against a Y-beam with her eyes closed waiting for the TARDIS to land so she could save the Doctor.

"This is Emergency Programme One." The hologram of the Doctor appeared "Rose, now listen, this is important. If this message is activated, then it can only mean one thing. We must be in danger. And I mean fatal. I'm dead or about to die any second with no chance of escape. And that's okay. Hope it's a good death, hope it wasn't ftripping over a brick or soemthing else just as embarassing. But I promised to look after you, and that's what I'm doing. The TARDIS is taking you home. And I bet your fussing and moaning now. Typical. But hold on and just listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return for me. Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do. Let the TARDIS die. Just let this old bow gather dust. No one can open it. No one'll even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world will move on and the box will be buried. And if you want to remember me. Then you can do one thing. That's all one thing." The hologram of the Doctor turned and looked right at Rose, "Have a good life. Do that for me Rose. Have a fantastic life." The hologram flickered and faded out leaving Rose alone again.

Moving over to the controls she stroked them gently, "come on sexy. Now it's time to take me back." The TARDID hummed slightly flicking the lights in agreement. "Open up, I'd rather not repeat what happened last time."

The TARDIS agreed and opened the control panel letting the golden light of the Time Vortex flood over Rose.

~"My Wolf. Your time is now. You know what needs to be done."~

"I know." Rose said letting the Bad Wolf take over her. "I know."

~DW~

"Alert! Alert! TARDIS materialising!" One of the Daleks shouted.

"You will not escape."

The TARDIS doors opened as Rose walked out surrounded by the golden tendrils of the Time Vortex.

"What have you done?!" The Doctor cried for his position of the floor looking at Rose with horror.

"I looked into the TARDIS, and the TARDIS looked into me." Rose said looking at him.

"You looked into the Time Vortex. Rose, no one's meant to see that."

"This is the Abomination!" The Emperor said over the communication link.

"Exterminate!" One of the Daleks cried shooting his laser at her.

Rose held up her hand stopping the beam. "I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words, I scatter them in time and space. A message to lead myself here." Waving her hand again she brought the words Bad Wolf and scattered them.

"Rose, you've got to stop this. got to stop this now. You've got the entire vortex running through you head. You're gonna burn." The Doctor cried out, hurting at the very idea of Rose dying.

"I want you safe. My Doctor. My wonderful, beautiful, loving Doctor. Protected from the false god."

"You cannot hurt me. I am immortal."

"You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space. Every single atom of you existence, and I divide them." Waving her hand, yet again, the Daleks turned to dust. "Everything must come to dust. All things end. Everything dies. The Time War ends." Rose watched as Daleks disintegrated into dust.

The Doctor stood in front of her looking into her eyes seeing her brown eyes swirling with the gold, "Rose, you've done it. Now stop. Just let go."

"How can I let this go? I bring life."

"But this is wrong! You can't control life and death."

"But I can. The sun and the moon, the day and the night. But why do they hurt?"

"The power's going to kill you and it's my fault."

"Never, never your fault. I can see everything. All that is, all that was, all that ever could be."

The Doctor smiled slightly at her, figuring out a way to save his precious Rose. "That's what I see all the time. And doesn't it drive you mad?"

"My head." Rose said a tear running down her cheek.

"Come here."

"It's killing me."

"I think you need a Doctor." He said leaning in touching his lips to hers for the first and last time in this body. He pulled the vortex out of Rose, catching her as she passed out for the sudden loss of the energy.

Just for a moment the Doctor held onto the Vortex and saw what Rose had seen, it was terrible and fantastic but the Doctor knew that if he held onto it he would become something less. Less than himself, less than the person Rose had almost given her life to save so with that thought the Doctor gave the Vortex back to the TARDIS and carried Rose in laying her gently on the ground while he set the coordinates to Earth.

"What happened?" Rose asked sitting up rubbing her temples gently.

"Don't you remember?" The Doctor asked looking up from the controls.

"There was this singing…and dust…lots and lots of dust."

"That's right. I sang a song and the Daleks turned to dust."

"Doctor, even your singing can't be that bad."

The Doctor let out a short laugh, "Rose Tyler. I was going to take you to so many places. Barcelona. Not the city Barclona, the planet Barcelona. You'd love it. Fantastic place. They've got dogs with no noses. Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke, and it's still funny." The Doctor rambled as his skin darkened.

"We can't go?" Rose asked moving closer to him.

"Maybe you will, and maybe I will. But not like this."

"Doctor?"

"I might never make sense again. I might have two heads, or no head. Imagine me with no head. And don't say that's an improvement. But it's a bit dodgy, this process. You never know what you're going to end up with." The Doctor doubled up with pain and Rose moved forward to help because even though she knew what was happening it still killed her to see him hurt.

"Doctor!"

"Stay away!"

"Doctor, tell me what's happening." Rose begged hoping that hearing him explain it again might help with her anxiety.

"I absorbed all the energy of the Time Vortex, and no one's meant to do that. Every cell in my body's dying."

"What happening to you?"

"Time Lords have this little trick, it's sort of like cheating death. Except it means I'm going to change, and I'm not going to see you again. Not like this. Not with daft old face. And before I go –"

"You're not going anywhere."

"Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I."

"Doctor I remember the kiss." Rose said just as the Doctor exploded into a golden light making her shield her eyes against the glare. When she felt the light dim she opened her eyes and saw the Doctor standing in front of her wearing his dopey grin.

"Hello. Okay. Ooo, new teeth. That's weird. So, where was I? Oh, that's right. Barcelona." The Doctor said flipping a leaver.

"Doctor!" Rose shouted jumping on him pulling him into a hug, "I was so worried I wouldn't see you again. I thought I was going to lose you." She said crying slightly on in the crook of his neck. The Doctor wrapped his arms around her holding her closely to himself.

"Never, Rose. Never ever." He whispered into her hair. "Rose Tyler I –"

Sorry about the cliff ending but I thought that it was the best place to leave it. Till next time.
