{The Impossible Planet}
The TARDIS materialized inside a small era. The blue door opened and the Doctor and Rose stepped out closing the door behind him.
"I don't know what's wrong with her. She sort of…queasy." He said gently rubbing the TARIDS. "Indigestion like she didn't want to land."
"Well, if you think there's going to be trouble, we can always get back inside and go somewhere else." said Rose and they laughed at the idea of leaving.
The Doctor looked around, "It looks like we landed inside a cupboard," and they walked out of the small room. "Oh we're on a Statuary Base."
They entered a room and the Doctor and Rose looked around the area. Rose turned and saw writing on the wall. "Welcome To Hell."
"Come on now it isn't that bad." said the Doctor looking around.
She laughed, "No the writing."
He turned around and looked at the writing. "Hold on, what does that say?" he slipped on his glasses, "That's weird. It won't translate."
"But I thought the TARDIS translates everything-writing as well. It should say English." said Rose.
"Exactly. If that's not working that means this writing is old. Very old. Impossibly old." He said squinting his eyes slightly revealing wrinkles around his eyes. He stood up, "We need to find who's in charge. We've gone beyond the reach of the TARDIS' not a good move," and removed his glasses slipping them back into his pocket.
Rose grabbed onto the Doctor's arm. She took several deep breaths. "This is hell. The beast is in the pit, and he will awaken Doctor." She turned and looked at her husband with tears glazed over her eyes. "The lost girl who strayed so very far home. The valiant child who will die in battle so very soon." He gently grabbed his hands into own, "We have to leave this place Doctor. There had to be a reason why the TARDIS didn't want to land."
She moved her hands to her small bump that was forming and gently rubbed it. She looked back up and a tear rolled her cheek. The Doctor lifted his hand and thumbed away the fallen tear.
"Kasterborous please." whispered Rose for only him to hear.
The Doctor pulled his wife into his arms and gently drew Gallifrey symbols on her body. He kissed the top of her head. He had heard her talking about the beast in the pit in her sleep for several nights.
He pulled her back slightly. "Alright we'll leave. Now I know I'm getting old." He took her hand and the turned around to leave. The doors opened and octopus looking aliens entered the room.
"We must feed. We must feed. We must feed." said the creature.
The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and put himself in front of his wife slowly backing up against the wall.
"We must feed…"and he hit the control device that was attached to his face, "you. If you are hungry."
"Sorry?" said the Doctor in puzzled expression slowly lowering his screwdriver.
"Sorry we seem to be having trouble with our commutation device." said the Ood.
Just then several of the crew members found Rose and the Doctor. The security man Mr. Jefferson reported the captain that there were real people on the ship. Then the base began to shake and the Doctor and Rose followed the crew to the main control room to run for cover from impact that was about of happen.
Jefferson ushered the crew and their strange guests into room. The captain told everyone to hold on because impact was coming. Rose grabbed onto a nearby railing. The Doctor stood in front of her holding onto the same railing making sure she didn't injure herself in the rough impact.
"Oh that wasn't too bad." said the Doctor and the station shook again. He quickly grabbed onto the railing.
"Is everyone all right. Ida, Scooti, Jefferson, Danny, Toby," called Zach, acting captain.
"Yea we're fine don't worry about us." said the Doctor sanding up from off the floor. He turned to his wife. "Are you ok?"
Rose nodded her head. She took several deep breaths in hope the wave of nausea that had arrived from the quake would pass. She pushed her hair behind her ear.
After the quake Ida Scott Science Officer introduced the crew to the Doctor and Rose. Zachary Cross Flane acting captain. John Jefferson head of security. Scooti Manistra trainee in maintenance officer. Toby Zed archaeologist. Danny was in charge of the Ood.
"Where are we?" asked the Doctor.
"You really don't know, do you?" asked Ida.
Rose walked up next to the Doctor. She shook head, "No, no idea."
"This planet as you called it is 37K Gem 5. We're here on a expedition of anonymous plants." said Ida. She pulled down a leaver, "And this is home."
"Brace yourself some at the sight of this has made people go mad." said Zach, and the top of the dome slid opened revealing a large black hole.
"That's a black hole." said Rose looking up at it in awe.
"That's impossible." said the Doctor.
"I did warn you." said the captain.
"We're standing under a black hole." said the Time Lord trying to wrap his mind around it.
"In orbit." added Ida.
"But we can't be." he told them.
"You can see for yourself we're in orbit." Ida pointed out.
"But we can't be!" The Doctor stressed the last two words trying to get the motion across to the crew.
Ida said, "This lump of rock is suspend in perpetual geostationary orbit around that black hole without falling in. Discuss."
"And that's bad, yea?" asked Rose.
"Bad doesn't cover it." said the Doctor.
{}
The Doctor and Rose sat at table looking up at the black hole. He explained that a black hole was a dead star that collapsed in on itself. The black hole sucked in anything that was around it.
Rose took a deep breathe and rested her hands on her belly. "So we're stuck on a planet that shouldn't exist, and with no way back."
"I'm sorry Rose. We should have left right when you said that the TARDIS didn't want to land here in first place." said the Doctor. "Now we're stuck on this rock and the TARDIS is gone."
"We'll maybe they can give us lift." said Rose.
"And then what?"
"I don't know find a planet, get a job like everyone else in the Universe."
"We'd have to settle down. Get a house or something a proper house. With…doors and carpets. Me living in a house. That's, that's terrifying."
"We'd have to get a mortgage." sang Rose. She rested her hand down her belly. "It wouldn't be that bad would it. We could raise the baby in a good home." She sighed heavily. "The TARDIS that was home too. The baby would never see the Universe like we have." She angrily brushed away several fallen tears.
Rose grabbed her phone and looked it, "That's the first time we've been out of range," and she sat it down on the table.
The Doctor looked at the phone when it began to ring. He turned it to him and answered putting it on loud speaker, "He is awake."
Rose grabbed the phone and threw it down on the floor. The Doctor slowly got up and pulled his wife into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist. He ran his fingers through her blonde hair. He knew that Rose's warnings were coming true. If he had only listened then they wouldn't have been stuck on the rock under a black hole.
{}
Toby sat in his room trying to decode the writing that they had found on the wall when they had arrived. He only decoded several letters, but it wasn't enough to go on. He was interrupted by an eerie voice that told him not to turn around. The voice kept on telling not to turn around or he'd kill him.
Toby turned around and found no one behind him or in his room. He turned back to pieces the clay that he had in his hands, and the letters were gone. He quickly removed his gloves and found them on his skin and his eyes were red. The beast had entered his body.
{}
The Doctor and Rose stood with Danny at Ood habitation looking at the monitors. He remembered Rose telling him that the Ood had mentioned about the beast being awake. He wanted to know what was going on with Ood since Danny had too spoken about how strange the Ood had been acting.
Danny looked at the screen and said, "They're registering as level 30."
"What does level 30 mean?" asked Rose looking at the screen.
"It means that their shouting-streaming-inside their heads." said Danny.
The Doctor looked down at the Ood and said, "Or someone's shouting at them."
{}
The crew with Rose and the Doctor stood in the main control room. Ida realized the drilling had stopped, that they had finally reached the bottom. They needed to go and find out what was down there. The Doctor looked over at Rose and saw her face was fill with worry. She knew that he was going down because it's what he did. She knew that she couldn't stop him from going. It was apart of who he was. He craved for the rush of something new that was one of reasons he continued on traveling because there was something new everyday.
{}
Rose stood in front of the Doctor helping put on the harness around his waist. "It's funny 'cause people back home think that space travel is all whizzing about and teleports, anti-gravity," she tugged the strap through the hole, "But it's not, is it? It's tuff."
He removed his glove and rested his hand on her stomach. "Everything's going to be fine."
"Something's down there Doctor. I know it. They keep on repeating that there is a beast, and he is awake. It's a warning."
He rested his forehead against Rose's and looked into her brown eyes. "We have our link. Here," and he touched her temple gently. "If you are in danger you let me know."
She stepped back slightly, "I want that suit back in one piece."
The Doctor saluted slight, "Yes sir." He put on his helmet, "I'll see you later."
Rose lowered his head and kissed the glass, "Not if I see you first."
She watched the Doctor and Ida step into the lift and they were lowered down. She gave him a small wave. He gave his in return.
Rose grabbed the intercom, "Don't forget to breath. Breathings good."
"Rose stay off the intercom." said Zach.
"No chance." respond Rose. She heard the Doctor chuckle.
{}
The Doctor and Ida got out of the lift and looked around the large area. It had pillars, archways and statues after Ida had thrown up a gravity globe.
"Rose tell Toby we've found his civilization." said the Doctor.
{}
Rose smiled at Toby, "You hear that you have a lot of work cut out for you."
Toby said, "Yea great." He looked at his hands and saw that writing that had been on him was now gone.
{}
The couple made their way farther into the cave looking around the area. "Well, we've came this far. No turning back now." said Ida.
"Oh, did you have to? "No turning back." that's almost as bad, "nothing can possibly go wrong." or 'This is the best Christmas that Wilford's ever had." said the Doctor.
The couple stopped when they found a large round metal seal with the same markings that had been found in the upper part of the base.
"We've found something. Looks like metal, like some sort of seal. I've got a nasty feeling that words might be, "trap door." I never met a trap door I liked." He heard Rose's breath quicken on the intercom.
{}
Danny reported to Zach that the Ood were at level 100, and that they should be brain dead. Ida's voice broke through the intercom and asked Toby if he had deciphered any of the symbols. Toby told them that he knew what the symbols meant, and looked at Jefferson and Rose.
"We are legion of the beast." said Ood.
"Jefferson report." said Zach.
"Doctor it's the Ood, I think something is inside of them." said Rose.
"He has woven himself through the fabric of your life since the dawn of time. Some may call him Abaddon. Some call him Krop Tor. Some may call him Satin or Lucifer. Do not despair. The Deathless Prince. The Bringer of Night. These are the words that shall set you free." said the Beast through the Ood.
{}
The Doctor felt his hearts stop beating when he heard the Ood. The ground shook and the seal slowly opened itself. He moved over to it and looked down and saw nothing but an empty pit. They heard a laugh.
"The pit is opened and I am free!"
