Chapter 14 rise of the cyber men part 1
Me, The Doctor, Rose, Rachel and Mickey were hanging out in the TARDIS. The Doctor and Rose are both slumped in chairs next to each other and me and Rachel were on the floor to the side of them, me on the doctors side and Rachel on roses side, while Mickey stands by the console. We are relating a story to Mickey.
"And that weird munchkin lady with the big eyes? Do you remember? - the way she looked at you! And then she opens her mouth and fire comes out!" the doctor said enthusiastically to us
"I thought we were gonna get frazzled!" Rose said laughing pointing between the 3 of us girls, as me and Rachel joined in with the laughter.
"Yeah! One minute she's standing there, and the next minute - rawwwh!" the doctor agreed
All 4 of us mimic fire coming out of our mouths, killing ourselves laughing. Poor Mickey nods and smiles, not really following.
"Yeah... where- where was that, then? What happened?" Mickey asked us
"Oh, it was on this um... uh, this uh... planet thing, asteroid. It's a long story, you had to be there. Um... what're you doing that for?" The doctor told him lamely then notices Mickey has his finger on a button on the console.
"'Cos you told me to…" he told him
The doctor blinks "When was that...?"
"About half an hour ago…" he says
"Um. You can let go now." the doctor said awquadly
Mickey lets go of the button. Rose sniggers. And me and Rachel give him a apologetic look.
"Well, how long's it been since I could've stopped?" Mickey asks getting upset
"Ten minutes? Twenty? ... Twenty-nine?" he said trying not to sound like he forgot about him.
"You just forgot me!" Mickey exclamed indignantly
"No, no, no! I was just- I was just... I was calibrating. I was just... no, I know exactly what I'm doing." the doctor defended himself as me and Rachel try not to laugh at him, as we remember exactly what is about to happen. And then the TARDIS console exploded. Violently. Sparks and flames flew everywhere.
The Doctor scrambled to his knees and frantically tried to operate the console.
"What's happened?" me, Rachel and rose shrieked in surprise
"The time vortex is gone! That's impossible - it's just gone!" the doctor said in shock
"Brace yourself! We're gonna crash!" he shouted
The TARDIS crashed, and we were thrown backwards. Suddenly Gas masks fall from the ceiling. All the light in the TARDIS had gone out and it was very dark. Even the humour of gas masks from the ceiling couldn't get rid of the uneasiness me and Rachel had in the pit of our stomach.
"Everyone all right? Rose, Ashley? - Rachel, Mickey?" the doctor listed to make sure everyone was ok
"fine." Me and Rachel called "Were fine." I added
"I'm fine. I'm okay, sorry." Mickey called from the other side of the console
We all stand slowly. The Doctor looks up at the rotor and the console.
"She's dead." he said simply I looked at him in disbelief
There was a clicking as the engines cool down. Smoke rose from the console.
"The TARDIS is dead." He whispers as he walks slowly around the console.
"You can fix it?" I ask in disbelief
"There's nothing to fix. She's perished." he said sadly
He pulled a lever back and forth fruitlessly.
"The last TARDIS in the universe... Extinct." he said in disbelief himself
"We can get help, yeah?" rose asked as I sat on the jump seat looking sullenly at the console.
"Where from?" the doctor asked her
"Well, we've landed - we've gotta be somewhere." rose replied
"We fell out of the vortex, through the void, into nothingness. We're in some sort of no-place... the silent realm... the lost dimension…" the doctor trailed off
"Otherwise known as London!" Mickey told us from the door, grinning
He laughs and steps out of the door.
And into 21st century London. Me, Rose, Rachel and the Doctor follow him out.
"London, England, Earth. Hold on…" Mickey pauses as he jumps down off the low wall and picks a paper out of a dustbin and looks at the cover.
"First of February this year - not exactly far-flung, is it?" he told us
"Oooh! 14 days till my birthday!" I said exited and Rachel and rose laughed at me
Me, Rachel and Rose jumps down and looks over his shoulder.
"So, this is London." The doctor states jumping down and looking around
"Yep." Mickey said firmly
"Your city." this time I state
"That's the one." Mickey again confirmed
"Just as we left it." Rachel says
"Bang on." again Mickey confirms
"And that includes the zeppelins?" Me, Rachel and the doctor ask them
Rose and Mickey look up at us and then follow our gaze and turn around and sure enough they see the sky is full of zeppelins.
"What the hell...?" Mickey asked shocked
"That's beautiful."
"Okay. So, it's London with a big international zeppelin festival." Mickey said trying to figure it out
"Mickey they stopped making zeppelins for the public after the Hindenburg disaster in 1937" I explained to him and the doctor looked at me amazed "what? I love history!" I defended myself.
This is not your world.
"But if the date's the same…" Mickey said con fused confused until he worked it out "... it's parallel, right? Am I right? Like a parallel Earth where they've got Zeppelins, am I right? I'm right, aren't I?"
THE DOCTOR
Must be.
"Im glad its not our dimension, not ready yet to go back, and aliens literally Don't exist, nothing! Not one piece of evidence" I turn to rose "if your London, had aliens crashing into Big Ben in 2006, we had NOTHING! Just Si-Fi films and doctor who…" I trailed off seeing the amused looks of the doctor and Mickey "anyways as I was saying no aliens, no advanced technology so in my universe you would probably would not of had much luck.
"So, a parallel world where-" rose started
"Oh, come on. You see it on films. Like an alternative to our world were everything's the same but a little bit different, like... I dunno - traffic lights are blue, Tony Blair never got elected…" Mickey said
"And he's still alive…" Rose said distantly, I look and she is gazing at a poster right front of us. It depicts her father, my uncle, Pete Tyler - a successful businessman, holding a bottle of Vitex. Even tho I am originally from a different universe, I still had all the memories of living here and hearing Mickey of uncle Pete from aunt Jackie when we were young. I was kind of starting to want to forget my boring past life, well everything except the episodes as it will help with the adventures!
"A parallel world and my dad's still alive…" rose continued and then she made her way towards the poster. We followed her.
"Don't look at it, Rose. Don't even think about it. This is not your world." The doctor told her sternly
"But he's my dad... And…" rose said and she touched the poster - the picture of Pete springs to life for a moment, says 'trust me on this', winks and gives the thumbs up. Rose steps back.
"Oh, that's weird. But he's real!" she said again
"Trust me on this." the poster said again
"He's a success! He was always planning these daft little schemes, health-food drinks and stuff. Everyone said they were useless. But he did it." rose said happily I just stared at him 'he actually did it!' I thought happily
The Doctor suddenly grasps Rose by the shoulders and bends slightly to look into her eyes.
"Rose, if you've ever trusted me, then listen to me now." The doctor told her urgently
Rose glances back at the poster.
"Stop looking at it!" the doctor told her and Rose reluctantly meets the Doctor's eyes again.
"Your father's dead. He died when you were six months old. That is not your Pete. That is A Pete. For all we know, he's got his own Jackie - his own Rose. His own daughter who is someone else, but not you."
Rose's eyes start to wander back to the poster, but she tries to stop herself.
"You can't see him. Not ever." he told her
Rose gives a tiny nod. Mickey touches her shoulder comfortingly. I took her into my arms for a hug not just for her but for me, and she returned it knowing exactly why I hugged her. The poster of Pete kept saying 'trust me on this' repeatedly.
We walk back to the tardis Me, Rachel and the doctor go inside but Rose stays outside, Mickey stays with her, with a warning to her not to wander off and for Mickey to make sure she doesn't.
Some time later Mickey enters the pitch-black TARDIS, closing the door behind him. The Doctor rounds on him.
"I told you to keep an eye on her!" the doctor said angrily
"She's all right-" Mickey told him dismissively
"She goes wandering off - parallel world, it's like a gingerbread house! All those temptations calling out." the doctor told him
"Oh, so it's just Rose then? Nothing out there to tempt me?" Mickey asked him
"Well, I don't know, I can't worry about everything... if I could just get this thing to-" the doctor said as he kicks the TARDIS console hard in his frustration. He walks slowly over to a chair, scowling.
"Did that help?" Mickey asked him
"Yes." he replied as I crossed over and sat on the pilot seat.
"Did that hurt?" I asked him softly
"Yes. Ow." and he sits down next to me and rubs his foot, I put my arm around his shoulders and bring him into a half hug trying to calm and comfort him.
"We're not meant to be here. The TARDIS draws its power off the universe, but it's the wrong universe. It's like diesel in a petrol engine." The doctor told us uncomfortably
"But... I've seen it in comics. People are hopping from one alternative world to another - it's easy." Mickey said sitting down on the other side of him
the doctor gave him a withering look "Not in the real world." he pauses "Used to be easy. When the Time Lords kept their eye on everything, you could hop between realities, home in time for tea. Then they died, took it all with them. The walls of reality closed, the worlds were sealed. Everything became that bit less kind."
"And my world, the TV show that shows you biggest adventures, and everything that happened in them down to the smallest detail?" I asked him and Rachel sat on the grate to the side of me.
He looks at me and replies "a small natural crack between the universes, leaking information, through dreams, giving them what they think are there ideas but in reality its what is happening here."
I nod and then tell him "sounds a bit like what the author of twilight said, she got the main scene of the first book in a dream and from that continued on and did the beginning and then continued from that part." the doctor nodded in agreement.
"Then how did we get here?" Mickey asked
"I dunno. Accident? Should've been impossible - now we're trapped." the doctor explained wearily
There is a short, hopeless silence. And me and Rachel decide to sing parts of the song 'shipwreck' to make it slightly more comfortable.
"I believe, everything, happens for a reason,
Why did we end up here
Chronarchs dead, nothing left, all seems so confusing
Vortex can't just disappear
What happens when all the lights go out
There's no way back
We're stranded now"
We sit in more silence, Then-
"What's that?" the doctor asked as He spots a tiny green light glowing beneath the console.
"What?" Mickey asks
"That there - is that a reflection?" It's not. We all crouch down and stare at it.
"It's a light! Is it? Is that a light? I think that's a light! That's all we need!" The doctor exclamed excitedly
We remove the grilling.
"We've got power! Mickey, we've got power! Ha!" he laughed at how lucky we were at that moment.
The Doctor gets right underneath the console and pulling out some important looking internals of the TARDIS.
"It's alive!" He says deliriously happy
"A green glimmer of hope, we can't let it go to waste" me and Rachel sing quietly but loud enough so the boys can here. The doctor looks at us and grins widely and I grin back
"What is it?" Mickey asks us
"It's nothing. It's tiny. One of those insignificant little power cells that no one ever bothers about, and it's clinging onto life. But with one little ounce of reality tucked away inside." the doctor happily explained
"Enough to get us home?" Mickey asked anxiously
"Not yet." the doctor replied and he picks up the power cell and sits back on the small set of stairs under the grilling.
"I need to charge it up." the doctor told him. He holds it carefully, cupped in both his hands.
"We could go outside and latch it up to the national grid!" Mickey said not exactly understanding.
"Wrong sort of energy. It's gotta come from our universe." the doctor explained to him
"But we don't have anything." Mickey said confused
"There's me…" the doctor said and he blows gently on the power cell and it glows brightly. The Doctor beams.
"I just gave away ten years of my life. Worth every second!" he said and he giggled dorkishly.
I hug him tightly and me and Rachel finish the paragraph of the song "If I give some of my life, we'll use it to escape this place" I pull back from the hug and we smile at the boys "just like my song said" I told them and the doctor smiles in realisation
Were all staring at the power cell with huge grins. The light fades.
"It's going out - is that okay?" Mickey asks worried
"It's on a recharging cycle." the doctor told him as it grows brighter again, and then back to dim and so on.
"It'll loop round, power back up and be ready to take us home in - oh - twenty-four hours?" he calculated and he kisses the power cell.
"So, that gives us twenty-four hours on a parallel world?" Mickey says
"Surely! As long as we keep our heads down. Easy. No problem." he said and he tosses the power cell in the air and catches it again.
"Let's go and tell her." the doctor said standing
sorry again but any ways its the next chapter
