Time Leap

Chapter Twenty One

Landing on Earth, we raced out of the TARDIS and quickly looked around....only to find everything normal. The Doctor frowned, spinning round as a milk man stopped and unloaded his truck.

"Excuse me! What day is it?" he asked.

"Saturday," the milk man frowned before carrying on with his work.

"I like Saturday's," the Doctor rushed back in, I and Donna following, "why is everything normal?"

I ran a hand through my hair, "hmm....unless..."

I was cut off as we suddenly jolted like an earthquake. Opening the doors, my eyes widened, the Doctor and Donna appearing behind me. Outside was nothing but space and the stars.

"What happened?" asked Donna shocked.

The Doctor raced back to the screen only to look at it with wide eyes, "no....it's impossible. We're fixed. The Earth is missing."

"Who the hell steals planets?" I asked in annoyance while I dialled Jack's number, "and more importantly.....why can't I get in touch with Jack or Martha?"

The Doctor grabbed my phone and tried his sonic screwdriver but there was still no signal. I stowed it away.

"If it's got one of those void breakers in it," Donna said suddenly, "why doesn't it work?"

"I've never been out of range before...." I almost whined.

"We need help," the Time Lord ran a hand over his head, tousling his messy brown hair; "I'm taking us to the Shadow Proclamation, hold on."
He flipped levers and sent us flying through space.

"Who are the Shadow Proclamation?" asked Donna.

"Think of them as the Space Police!"

I grumbled, "and they don't like me."

The Doctor shook his head while Donna asked why.

"Because, I'm the Space Thief. They make the rules, I bend them," I shrugged, "therefore I'm not in their good books."

As we stopped, the Doctor and Donna slowly walked out and only the Doctor's hold on my hand brought me along with them. As soon as we shut the door, the Judoon aimed their weapons and spoke in their alien tongue which the Doctor replied with. Slowly they lowered their guns and we were taken to the leaders of the Proclamation, women with white hair and crimson eyes who looked disdainfully at me. While the Doctor spoke with them, I zoned out but staid by his side. He seemed to sense this because he kept a grip on my hand that didn't go unnoticed by Donna. Despite the situation, said human decided to give me the raised eyebrow look. Shaking my head lightly, I silently sighed and motioned to the Doctor then myself before crossing two of my fingers. She smiled warmly for a moment before it vanished and she mouthed; 'Rose?' I felt my hearts stiffen in my chest. I had completely forgotten about Rose and how this would affect us by her return. Don't get me wrong, I loved her to bits and thought of her as my sister, but now the worry had settled in and I was suddenly nervous to see her again.

The Doctor put in the three missing planets we knew of to the 24 already missing and created a 3D map showing the 27 planets it perfect alignment with each other.

"There must be something at the centre of them..."I held my chin in thought.

"Has there been anything happening on Earth?" the Doctor asked Donna.

She thought for a moment before shaking her head, "no..." we sighed, "there were the bees disappearing."

"Bees?" he asked sceptically, "Bees?" then it clicked and we looked at each other.

"The Bees disappearing!"

"How is this important?" asked Donna as we stood over the computers.

"They were heading home," I grinned.

"Where?"

"Melissa Majoria!"

Donna looked as if she was about to fall over, "are you saying Bees are aliens?!"

"Don't be daft," the Doctor looked at her then the screen, "Not all of them. But, if the migrant bees felt something coming, some sort of danger and escaped… Tandocca!"

"The Tandocca Scale," the crimson eyed woman behind us exclaimed.

"The Tandocca Scale is a series of wavelengths used as carrier signals by migrant bees. Infinitely small, no wonder we didn't see it, it's like looking for a speck of cinnamon in the Sahara but look… there it is! The Tandocca trail. The transmat that moved the planets was using the same wavelength. We can follow the path!"

Racing into the TARDIS, the Doctor set the old girl to lock onto the path and sent us flying. As we raced along, the TARDIS just stopped and we looked at each other with a frown.

"Why did we stop?" asked Donna.

"It's the Medusa Cascade," the Doctor said nostalgically, "I came here when I was still young, ninety years old..."

"Where are Earth and the other planets then?" asked Donna.

"Nowhere," I sighed, trying several different programs with the TARDIS.

"What do we do, Doctor?"

The Doctor remained silent. I glanced back at him, since when had he ever given up?! Leaving the TARDIS alone, Donna stared at it with tears in her eyes, while I faced the Doctor with crossed arms.
"Since when does the Doctor give up?"

He just stared at me silently.

"You give up just because we're flying blind when we've had such worse odds against us," I shook my head and threw my hands in the air, "Isn't that right, TARDIS?"

She hummed loudly making Donna jump and the Doctor look round him in shock. I grinned and blew a kiss to the TARDIS' mainframe.

"What can I do?" he asked quietly, "there is nothing I can do."

Sighing loudly, I turned around and spun on one foot. Think. Think. Think. I refused to give up. I had lost one home; I wasn't going to lose another. Earth. In mid thought, Rose popped into my mind again and my shoulders sagged. What was I going to do? I wanted the Doctor to be happy...even if it wasn't me who made him happy. The selfish part of me said otherwise but I kicked that side away. I was a Time Lady; I wasn't supposed to be selfish when I had people and planets to save. But what would the Doctor choose? Surely he hadn't forgotten Rose and his love for her and there was no way on Earth that Rose had stopped loving him. What would happen to me if the Doctor did get back with Rose? There was no way I could stay here if they did. It would kill me inside no matter the smile I put on my face.

Arms pulled me close and the Doctor's head settled on mine, his cheek resting on the top of my head as he rubbed my back comfortingly.

"You'll give yourself headache."
"Already have," I joked lightly, hugging him back.

We stood there, motionless when the phone started ringing. Staring at it for a moment, we raced over and answered it but it kept beeping.
"It's a signal!" I grinned.

"Locking on!" the Doctor grinned back as Donna joined the happiness as we jumped through space and a second ahead in time.

Fires sprang up in the TARDIS while we held on for dear life until we finally slowed and stopped, the fires going out. There they were. All 27 orbiting planets including Earth.

"We did it!" Donna hugged us both when the screen fizzed and crackled.
"Oh!" the Doctor looked at it curiously.

Spinning a few dials, I looked back at the screen as it came out clearer to show three sets of people. On one were Jack and the slightly visible Ianto and Gwen. On another were Martha and her mother while the third held a woman and her son.

"Where the hell have you been?!" Jack shouted while we grinned at him.

"Doctor!" came several relieved shouts.

I pouted, "Hey! What am I? Chopped liver?"

"Good to see you too Loki," Jack grinned.

"Loki?!" Gwen and Ianto pushed forwards, "Jack said you'd changed but...wow!"

"Yeah, thanks you two," I laughed, "and you two must be Sarah-Jane and her son! Good to see you too Martha, Mrs Jones."

Martha's mother glared at me and I gulped, looking back at the Doctor, "I think she still hates me."

"Doctor! Loki! It's the Daleks! They're attacking Earth."

"Again?!" I whined, "Seriously, how many times do we have to kill them?"

The Doctor nodded in agreement whilst quickly introducing Donna to everyone. I heard Gwen mention the Doctor looking good for his age and I pointed at her.

"Oi! You have a husband; don't stroke this guy's ego."

"I bet you've stroked it enough," Jack smirked.

Donna laughed and nodded, "oh yeah, I tell ya; Time Lord Lovin'!"

"Shut up!" I threw my hands up.

"Where's Rose?" the Doctor muttered.

Suddenly they all flickered off to reveal a dark figure moving into the light.

"Your voice is different and yet, its arrogance is unchanged..." mine and the Doctor's eyes widened, "Welcome to my new empire, Doctor, Loki. It is only fitting that you should bear witness to the resurrection and the triumph of Davros: Lord and Creator of the Dalek race."

"You were destroyed, in the very first year of the Time War at the Gates of Elysium. I saw your command ship fly into the jaws of the Nightmare Child. I tried to save you," the Doctor spoke almost quietly.

"But it took one stronger than you. Dalek Caan himself."

"I flew into the wild and fire. I danced and died a thousand times," the insane Dalek laughed crazily.

"Wow, a crazy Dalek, never thought I'd see that," I commented dryly.

"I see you grew a backbone," Davros tilted his head slightly; "I still remember you sweet cries of pain as we tortured you."

I shivered in remembrance while the Doctor had a hold of me, his arm tightening protectively.

"But that's impossible; the Time War time locked itself!"

"And yet he succeeded. Oh it cost him his mind but imagine: a single, simple Dalek succeeded where emperors and Time Lords have failed. A testament, don't you think, to my remarkable creation?"

The Doctor fell silent and Davros chuckled, commenting on his speechlessness.

"I have one thing to say to you.....bye!" he used his sonic screwdriver and cut the signal.

Transporting us to a street in London, I shook myself while the Doctor gave me a worried look. He put his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes.

"I swear to you, Loki, I won't let them take you ever again. I'll always come and save you," he ignored Donna rolling her eyes as he gave me a soft kiss, "come on."

Walking out, we looked round before the Doctor turned to Donna and asked her if Rose had said anything else. My eyes widened as I recognised the street from what I had seen before. The Doctor's death.

'Calm down!' I mentally yelled at myself, 'I remember how long it was before the Dalek appeared, if I time myself, I can get to him before it kills him,' I ran the figures through my head, 'even so I won't be able to pull him away completely!'

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" smiled Donna.

Looking back, there was Rose at the other end of the street, a huge gun in her hands. The Doctor's eyes widened as he turned and faced her. Rose started running and the Doctor slowly followed. 10.....9....8....7....6.....I kept my eyes traced on the Doctor and the corner where the Dalek would appear, my hand resting a centimetre off my vortex manipulator watch. 5.....4......3....2.....1....0! Exactly on time, the Dalek slowly appeared round the corner and Rose was the first to spot it, just like last time. And just like last time the Doctor was going too fast to stop and dodge.

"EXTERMINATE!"

Hitting my manipulator, I vanished and appeared beside the Doctor, grabbing his right arm and pulling him down. The bolt hit him in the left arm instead of his chest. Jack appeared and shot the Dalek, a large part of the metal casing cutting a long gash across my right arm. Rose rushed over as Donna and Jack joined us.

"Long time no see...." he said weakly to Rose who had tears falling.

"I've been busy..."

"How did you...know?" the Doctor asked, his face full of pain.

"I saw the future," I laughed slightly, "saw you die, repeated 50 times until I had everything memorised," I tapped my forehead, "knew exactly when to move, now up! We need to get you to the TARDIS, Rose!"

We both carried the Doctor between us, rushing to the TARDIS. Giving the Doctor's arm to Donna, I dashed inside the TARDIS as they brought him in. Ignoring the blood staining my white shirt from the deep gash, I ran round the console trying to find the object I was looking for.

"Where the hell is it?!?" I yelled in frustration.

It must have been thrown around from the TARDIS' jolting actions. Jumping over the side of the railings, I shot down, routing through wires and tubes around the ground.

"What are you doing?" asked Rose through tears.

Donna however was asking what was happening to the Doctor.

"I'm regenerating," the Doctor staggered up.

Cursing in Gallifreyan as the golden, white energy burst from him, I suddenly found the small tank with the Doctor's hand in. Grabbing it, I leapt back up and placed it down in front of him, ignoring the energy as some swirled around me.

"Doctor!"
