Hello everyone! I was super sad writing this chapter. It's never fun to say goodbye to a character. But I am also super excited to start writing new characters. Anyways I hope you like it and thank you so much for reading!


Harper's POV

"What's down there?" Jackie asked again, "She was in that room, with the Sphere. What's happened to Rose?"

"I don't know," the Doctor said causing Jackie to start to cry. I pulled her in for a hug and the Doctor walked over to us. "I'll find her. I brought you here. I'll get you both out, you and your daughter. Jackie, look at me. Look at me!"

When she finally looked up she asked, "Both of my daughters?" And then she surprised me by putting an arm around my shoulders.

The Doctor nodded and said, "I promise you. I give you my word."

"You will talk to your Central World Authority and order global surrender," the Cyberleader said to Yvonne.

"Oh, do some research. We haven't got a 'Central World Authority'," Yvonne sassed back.

"You have now. I will speak on all global wavelengths. This broadcast is for humankind. The Cybermen now occupy every landmass on this planet. But you need not fear. Cybermen will remove fear. Cybermen will remove sex and class and color and creed. You will become identical. You will become like us."

We watched from the windows as the city was thrown into turmoil. Fires were breaking out everywhere and smoke filled the air. We could even faintly hear the sound of gun firer.

"I ordered surrender," the Cyberleader said.

"They're not taking instructions," the Doctor said. "Don't you understand? You're on every street! You're in their homes! You've got their children! Of course they're going to fight!"


The Doctor's POV

I was just waiting to see what the Cyberleader said after I had yelled at him, but instead he turned away and said, "Scans detect unknown technology active within Sphere Chamber. Cybermen will investigate. Units 10-6-5 and 10-6-6 will investigate Sphere Chamber. Units, open visual link, visual contact established."

We were watching the computer screen when something came onto the screen that almost stopped both of my hearts.

"Doctor… that's a… that's a…" Harper whispered to me trying to find the word.

"Dalek," I whispered back pulling her closer.

"Identify yourselves," the Dalek said.

"You will identify first," the Cybermen said back.

"State your identity!"

"You will identify first."

"Identify!"

"Doctor, how? I thought…" Harper started but I interrupted her saying, "I don't know."

"…And illogical, you will modify," I caught the end of what the Cybermen had said.

"Daleks do not take orders!"

"You have identified as Daleks."

"Outline resembles the inferior species, known as Cybermen."

"Rose said about the Daleks," Jackie said. "She was terrified of them. What have they done to her, Doctor? Is she dead?"

"Phone," I whispered quickly.

"What?" Jackie asked.

"Phone," I said again and when Jackie gave me her phone I quickly dialed Rose's number. "She's answered. She's alive. But why haven't they killed her?"

Harper hit me on the shoulder as Jackie said, "Well, don't complain."

"They must need her for something. 'Genesis Ark'?" I asked hearing what the Daleks were saying.

"Why does that sound so familiar to me?" Harper asked. I watched her as she was in deep thought trying to figure it out.

"Don't try to force the memories back," I warned her.

"Our species are similar, though your design is inelegant," the Cybermen said to the Dalek.

"Daleks have no concept of elegance."

"This is obvious. But consider, our technologies are compatible, Cybermen plus Daleks, together we could upgrade the universe."

"You propose an alliance?" the Dalek asked.

'No, no, no, no, no this is very not good.'

"This is correct."

"Request denied!"

"Hostile elements will be deleted."

"Exterminate!" The Dalek killed the two Cybermen, and we lost the connection.

"Open visual link," Cyberleader said. "Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen."

"This is not war. This is pest control!" One of the Daleks said.

"We have 5 million Cybermen, how many are you?"

"Four!"

"You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"

"We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek! You are superior in only one respect."

"What is that?"

"You are better at dying! Raise communications barrier," the Dalek said.

"Lost her," I said as I gave the phone back to Jackie.

"Quarantine the Sphere Chamber," Cyberleader said. "Start emergency upgrading. Begin with these personnel."

I watched in horror as Cybermen grabbed Harper and Jackie.

"No, you can't do this!" Yvonne yelled, "We've surrendered! We've surrendered!"

"Keep this one," Cyberleader said pointing to me. "His increased adrenaline suggests that he has vital Dalek information."

"Oi, hands off," Harper yelled trying to get out of the Cyberman's hold.

"Stop them!" Jackie yelled to me. "I don't want to go! Doctor!"

"I demand you leave those two women alone!" I yelled.

"You promised me. You gave me your word," Jackie kept yelling.

"Do you know who you are messing with, because you're in for a world of hurt once I get free," Harper yelled.

"I won't help you unless you leave those two alone." Since Cyberleader was not listening to me I turned to Jackie and Harper. "Harper, Jackie, don't fight them… I'll think of something."


Harper's POV

The Cybermen pulled us all the way to where they were upgrading people. We stood there just waiting our turn. I was trying to concentrate on doing something the Doctor told me not to do, using the Time Vortex. It seemed strong enough to do some damage to the Cybermen.

"What happens in there?" Jackie asked, "What's upgrading mean? What do they do?"

"I think they remove the brain," Yvonne started but was having a hard time getting the words out. "Sorry. I think they remove the brain and they put it into a suit of armor. That's what these things are. They're us."

"Basically… yeah that's about it," I said.

"Next," the Cyberman holding onto Yvonne said.

"This is your fault, you and your Torchwood!" Jackie yelled at Yvonne, "You've killed us all!"

"I did my duty. For Queen and Country. I did my duty. I did my duty. I did my duty," Yvonne kept saying over and over as she walked into the upgrading area. I winched I as I heard her screams.


The Doctor's POV

I was trying to think of a way of saving Harper and Jackie when the Cyberleader said, "You are proof."

"Of what?"

"That emotions destroy you."

"Yeah, I am," he didn't have a clue of how true that was. But then I saw something behind him that could help. "Mind you, I quite like hope. Hope's a good emotion. And here it comes!"

Out of nowhere six men appeared shooting the Cybermen, killing them.

"Doctor, good to see you again," one of them, said coming up to me and taking off his mask.

"Jake?" But how, he is supposed to be in a different universe.

"The Cybermen came through from one world to another, and so did we," he said proudly. 'This is so not good,' I thought.


Harper's POV

"No!" Jackie panicked as the Cyberman pulled her forward.

"NO! Jackie…" I started pulled my arm to try and get away to help her but it was no use.

"Cyberleader One has been terminated," another Cyberman said, causing Jackie's to stop and let go of her arm. She looked back at me and I mouthed 'go'. She gave me a sad look and nodded before she turned running away as quickly as she could.

"Explain, download shared files," the Cybermen were talking and I was doing my best to get free while they were distracted. "I will be upgraded to Cyberleader."

I finally felt the Vortex and was able to use it to shock the Cyberman holding my arm, causing a massive headache to occur. Unfortunately, the stupid robot did not let go of my arm when it went down. I pulled as hard as I could, knowing I didn't have long before the 'upgrade' was finished and I got caught. I pulled again, yanking my arm free. I let out a scream as I felt my wrist break.

"Upgrade complete," I heard one say and, ignoring the pain in both my wrist and head, ran for it. But once again, luck was not on my side, as I was running the opposite way Jackie had gone.

I had to find the Doctor, but my head was killing me. 'Maybe the Doctor was right and I shouldn't have mess with the Vortex,' I thought. Everything soon became blurry and I fell to the grown.


The Doctor's POV

"Defend this room," Jake started giving orders. I put my glasses on to look at them and then quickly took them back off. "Chrissie, monitor communications, kill on Cyberleader and they just download into another. Move!"

"You can't just hop from one world to another. You can't," I yelled.

"We just did, with these." He tossed a large yellow button to me.

"But that's impossible. You can't have this sort of technology."

"We've got our own version of Torchwood. They developed it. Do you wanna come and see."

I yelled, "No!" but he had already pushed the button sending us to his world.

"Parallel Earth, parallel Torchwood," Jake said. "Except we found out what the Institute was doing, and the People's Republic took control."

"I've got to get back. Harper is in danger, and Rose and her mother."

"That would be Jackie," I heard from behind me and saw Pete Tyler walk into the room. "My wife in a parallel universe. And as for you, Doctor. At least this time, I know who you are."

"Right, yes, fine, hooray, but I've got to get back, right now!"

'I had to save them, I had to save Harper!'

"No, you're not in charge here. This is our world, not yours. And you're going to listen for once. When you left this world, you warned us there'd be more Cybermen. So we sealed them inside the factories."

"Except people argued," Jake added. "Said they were living, we should help them."

"And the debate went on," Pete said. "But all that time, the Cybermen made plans. Infiltrated this version of Torchwood. Mapped themselves onto your world and then vanished."

"When was this?" I asked.

"Three years ago."

"It's taken them three years to cross the Void, but we can pop to and fro in a second? Must be the sheer mass of five million Cybermen crossing all at once," I said.

"Yeah, Mickey said you'd rattle off that sort of stuff," Pete said.

"Where is the Mickey boy?"

"He went ahead first. Any chance to go and find Miss Rose Tyler."

"She's your daughter, you do know that?" I said to Pete. "Did Mickey explain?"

"She's not mine. She's the child of a dead man. Look at it," We were now standing at the windows looking down at the city. "A world at peace. We're calling this the Golden Age."

"Who's the President now?"

"A woman called Harriet Jones."

I made a face before saying; "I'd keep an eye on her."

"But it's a lie. Temperatures have risen by two degrees in the past six months. The ice caps are melting. They're saying all of this is gonna be flooded. That's not just global warming is it?"

"No."

"It's the breach," Pete said.

"I've been trying to tell you. Travel between parallel worlds is impossible. Then the Daleks break down the walls with the Sphere."

"Daleks?" Pete said in confusion.

"Then the Cybermen travelled across, then you lot, those discs, every time you jump from one reality to another, you rip a hole in the universe. This planet is starting to boil! Keep going and both worlds will fall into the Void."

"But you can stop it? The famous Doctor, you can seal the breach," Pete said with confidence.

"Leaving five million Cybermen stranded on my Earth?"

"That's your problem. I'm protecting this world and this world only.

"Pete Tyler. I knew you when you were dead. Now here you are, fighting the fight. Alone. There is a chance, back on my world, Jackie Tyler might still be alive."

"My wife died."

"Her husband died. Good match."

"There's more important things at stake Doctor, help us."

"What? Close the breach? Stop the Cybermen? Defeat the Daleks? Do you believe I can do that?"

"Yes."

"Maybe, that's all I need. Off we go, then." I hit the button sending Jake, Pete, and myself back to my world. I pocketed the yellow button, "First of all, I need to make a phone call. You don't mind?"

"You two, guard the door," Jake yelled to two soldiers.

I dialed Jackie's number and waited to hear her answer.

"Oh my, help me!" She said over the phone.

"Jackie, your alive."

"They tried to download me but I ran away. But they still got Harper!"

I dropped my head in despair. 'No, no, no, it can't be. No! She is fine! I know it, she has to be fine.'

"Listen, tell me where are you?"

"I don't know, staircase," she said.

"Yeah, which one? Is there any sort of sign, anything to identify it?"

"Yes, a fire extinguisher."

"Yeah, that helps."

"Oh, wait a minute. It says N3."

"North corner, staircase three. Just keep low, we're trying our best."

"Oh, don't leave me."

"I've got to go, I'm sorry," I hung up the phone turning to Pete. "Jacqueline Andrea Suzette Tyler."

"She's not my wife."

"I was at the wedding. You got her name wrong. Jakey-boy," I took his gun, "if I could open the bonding chamber on this thing, it could work on polycarbide."

"What's 'polycarbide'?" Jake asked.

"The skin of a Dalek."


Harper's POV

I slowly came too; my head was still spinning so I stayed on the grown. "Next time I'm going to listen to the Doctor when he says not to do something." I glanced down at my wrist and saw it looked pretty bad. "Why is it still broken? The Time Vortex normally fixes everything," I wondered out loud.

I groaned as I stood up. I looked around trying to place where I was, but then I heard some Cybermen coming my way so I just picked a hallway and ran. I didn't have time to figure out where I was. I just need to find a map, 'surely Torchwood has a map somewhere.'


The Doctor's POV

I used a paper white flag to get the attention of the Cybermen around the corner. "Sorry, no white flag, only had a sheet of A4. Same difference."

"Do you surrender?" One of them asked me.

"I surrender, unto you… a very good idea," I said with a smile. 'I so hope this idea works,' I had to think.


Harper's POV

Torchwood does not have a map! I had been making my way slowly through the Torchwood tower just trying to find someone, anyone really, that wasn't a Cybermen.

'Why are there so many Cybermen everywhere?'

I turned a corner but saw two Cybermen standing there, someone was standing in front of them but I wasn't going to stick around long enough to figure out who could be that stupid. I stop running and said, "The Doctor would so be that stupid!"

I turned on my heels and ran right back but by the time I got there, neither of the Cybermen or the man, who I still believed was the Doctor, was there.

"This is going to be harder than I thought."


The Doctor's POV

The next stop was the Sphere Chamber. Everything else was in place.

"You will be exterminated!" One of the Daleks said.

"Oh, now, hold on, wait a minute…" I called as I walked in wearing my 3D glasses. 'I always did like a dramatic entrance.'

"Alert, alert! You are the Doctor. Sensors report he is unarmed."

"That's me. Always," I looked over to Rose and was happy to see she was fine.

"Then you are powerless."

I pulled off the glasses saying, "Not me, never. How are you?" I asked Rose.

"Oh, same old, you know."

"Good. And Micketty-Mick-Mickey, nice to see you." I gave him a fist bump.

"And you, boss."

"Social interaction will cease. How did you survive the Time War?"

"By fighting, on the front line. I was there at the Fall of Arcadia. Some day, I might even come to terms with that. But you lot ran away."

"We had to survive."

"The last four Daleks in existence. So what's so special about you?" I asked.

"Doctor, they've got names," Rose said. "I mean Daleks don't have names, do they? But one of them said…"

"I am Dalek Thay." "Dalek Sec." "Dalek Jast." "Dalek Caan," each Dalek said its name.

"So that's it, at last, The Cult of Skaro. I thought you were just a legend."

"Who are they?" Rose asked.

"A secret order, above and beyond the Emperor himself. Their job was to imagine. Think as the enemy thinks. Even dare to have names, all to find new ways of killing"

"But that thing," Mickey pointed to what I assumed was the Genesis Ark. "They said it was yours. I mean Time Lords, they built it, what does it do?"

"I don't know, never seen it before."

"But it's Time Lord," Rose said.

"Both sides had secrets," I said before turning to the Daleks, "what is it. What have you done?"

"Time Lord science will restore Dalek supremacy."

"What does that mean? What sort of 'Time Lord Science'? What do you mean?"

"They said one touch from a time traveler will wake it up," Rose explained.

"Technology using the one thing a Dalek can't do. Touch. Sealed inside your casing, not feeling anything, ever." I got right in front of the eye stock of one of the Daleks, "from birth to death, locked inside a cold metal cage, completely alone. That explains your voice. No wonder you scream."

"The Doctor will open the Ark!"

I gave a fake laugh before saying very sarcastically, "the Doctor will not."

I could almost hear Harper saying, 'this is not the time for sarcasm, Doctor.' But I lightly shook my head to get her out of my thoughts. Now was not the time, she is always a huge, and wonderful, distraction.

"You have no way of resisting."

"Well, you got me there. Although… there is always this," I said holding up my sonic screwdriver.

"A sonic probe?" The Dalek questioned.

"That's screwdriver."

"It is harmless."

"Oh, yes. Harmless is just the word. That's why I like it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim, but I'll tell you what it does do. It is very good at opening doors."

I activated the screwdriver, and the door all busted open and the Cybermen and Jake came in shooting at the Daleks.

"Delete, delete," the Cybermen said over and over again.

"Alert! Casing impaired, casing impaired," the Daleks said.

"Rose, get out," I yelled and she ran forward but ended up falling again. Thankfully Pete was there to help her up. I saw Mickey slide over to his gun and start helping take down the Daleks.

"Firepower insufficient, firepower insufficient," the Daleks yelled.

"Daleks will be deleted. Delete, delete."

I finally made it to the doorway to safety along with Jake and the others.

"Mickey, come on," Rose yelled, as he was the only one still in the room.

"Adapt to weaponry," the Daleks yelled.

I watched as Mickey got knock back by a Cyberman and his hand touched the Genesis Ark. 'Well, whatever is in there, we are about to find out.'

"Firepower restored. Cybermen, primary target."

Once everyone was out, I closed the door with the sonic, "Jake, protect the stairwell. The rest of you, come on."

And with that we started running back down the hallway.


Harper's POV

Why is Torchwood so big? I felt like I have been running in circles. I was running down one hallway when I saw a shadow of a Dalek. I stop immediately and hid in the closet that was there. I listen as the Daleks moved by the doorway trying to hold my breath to make as little noise as possible.

Everything here just seems so familiar and I had to figure out why. I started to do another thing the Doctor told me not to do, force my memories back. I was missing something, something big. And I had to find out what.

As I sat there my headache just got worst but soon it all came back to me. My life in my old universe, meeting the Doctor and Rose for the first time, all of the adventures we had, and all the episodes of the show I had watched.

"No," I yelled, "Rose!"

I busted out the door running to find the Doctor. No matter how bad my wrist or my head hurt, I had to save Rose!


The Doctor's POV

"I just fell, I didn't mean it," Mickey said as we ran down the hallway.

"Mickey, without us, they'd have opened it by force, and to do that, they'd have blown up the sun, so you've done us a favour." I kissed him on the forehead and yelled, "Now, run!"

We turned the corner and saw a Cyberman in front of Jackie, "You will be upgraded."

"No, but you can't," Jackie yelled and Pete grabbed Mickey's gun shooting the Cyberman. "Pete?" Jackie said in confusion.

"Hello, Jacks."

"I said there were ghosts. But that's not fair. Why him?"

"I'm not a ghost."

"But you're dead. You died 20 years ago, Pete."

I stepped up next to Pete. "It's Pete from a different universe. There are parallel worlds, Jackie. Every single decision we make creates a parallel existence, a different dimension where…"

"Oh, you can shut up," Jackie said to me, so I moved back by Mickey just slightly afraid of her. "You look old."

"You don't," Pete told Jackie.

"How can you be standing there?"

"Just got lucky. Lived my life. But you were left on your own. You didn't merry again or…"

"There was never anyone else. Twenty years, though, look at me. I never left that flat. Did nothing with myself."

"You brought her up, Rose Tyler. That's not bad."

I smiled over at Rose, knowing Jackie had done a good job with her.

"Yeah."

"In my world it worked. All those daft little plans of mine, it worked. Made me rich."

"I don't care about that," but then she stop and said, "how rich?"

"Very."

"I don't care about that… how very?" I smiled at her, same old Jackie.

"Thing is though, Jacks, you're not my wife. I'm sorry, but you're not. I mean we both… you know, it's just sort of… oh, come here." He dropped the gun and both Jackie and Pete ran to each other. Jackie jumped in his arms and I knew they would stay together this time.


Rose's POV

We were back at one of the main rooms of Torchwood. The Doctor had said he needed to get something out of there. When we opened the door I saw Cybermen, Daleks, and soldiers everywhere fighting. I got worried for the Doctor knowing he was going to go through that.

He slipped in and all most immediately fell down. I cringed but thankfully he got right back up and grabbed two Magna-Clamps.

"Come on, come on," I whispered as he ran back. He tripped over the head of a dead Cybermen felling once more "Come on, please."

Once he made it to the door I pulled it shut, but he had other plans. The Doctor looked back inside with his 3D glasses.

"Override roof mechanism," one of the Daleks said. We watched as the roof was opened and then it said, "Elevate!"

"What are they doing? Why do they need to get outside?" I asked.

"Time Lord science. What Time Lord science, what is it?" The Doctor asked, frustrated that he could figure it out. He closed the door and turned to us.

"Maybe you should ask Harper, she always seems to figure these things out. Where is she?" Mickey asked.

"Yeah, I haven't seen her. Is she waiting somewhere for us," I asked.

I watched the Doctor go tense, knowing this was not going to be good.

"The Cybermen got her," mum said quietly.

"What? How?" Mickey asked.

I started to tear up; my best friend was gone.

"She couldn't get away when they were taking us to get upgraded," mum explained.

"We've got to see what it's doing," the Doctor said running down the hall, and we all followed. I knew he was just shutting out the fact the Harper was gone, and it was killing him. "We've got to go back up. Come on, all of you. Top-floor!"

"That's 45 floor up. Believe me, I've done them all," mum called.

"We could always take the lift," Jake said as he stuck his head out of the lift.


Harper's POV

I had a plan. I had found a rope and now just need one of the Magna-Clamps that Yvonne insisted was just for Torchwood used. I finally found the room that the Magna-Clamps were in and looked inside. Cybermen and the Daleks were in there fighting, along with some soldiers. I made my way around the room along the edge to get to the right crate.

"Override roof mechanism," I heard a Dalek say and stop to watch. The roof opened up and I knew this could not be good in anyway. "Elevate!"

One of the Daleks and the Genesis Ark elevated outside.

"This is so not good." I finally made it to the Magna-Clamps and grabbed one. I run out of the room and straight to the lift. I kept pushing the button but it was not coming fast enough.

"Ugh! Why are you so slow?" I yelled and bolted for the stairs. "40 something floors up, that's not too bad," I said just hoping I would make it in time.


The Doctor's POV

We ran into the main hub of the tower and over to the windows. I watched in horror as the Genesis Ark opened and Daleks started coming out.

"Time Lord science. It's bigger on the inside," I said finally understanding.

"The Time Lords put those Daleks in there? What for?" Mickey asked.

"It's a prison ship."

"How many Daleks?" Rose asked.

"Millions."

"I'm sorry, but you've had it. This world's going to crash and burn, there's nothing we can do. We're going home, Jacks take this," Pete tossed Jackie one of the yellow buttons. "You're coming with us."

"But they're destroying the city," Jackie argued.

"Oh, I'd forgotten you could argue," Pete slipped the chain around her neck. "It's not just London. It's the whole world. But there's another world, just waiting for you, Jacks, and it's safe. As long as the Doctor closes the breach, Doctor?"

I figured out what to do. I turned around with my glasses on, smiling, and said, "Oh I'm ready. I've got the equipment right here, thank you, Torchwood. Slam it down and close off both universes," I ran to one of the computers and started working.

"Reboot systems," the computer said.

"But we can't just leave. What about the Daleks? And the Cybermen?" Rose asked.

"They're part of the problem and that makes them part of the solution. Oh, yes. Well?" I stopped and looked at everyone. "Isn't anyone going to ask? What is it with the glasses?"

"What is it with the glasses?" Rose asked with a laugh.

"I can see. That's what. 'Cause we've got two separate worlds, but in between the twp separate worlds, we've got the Void, that's where the Daleks were hiding, and the Cybermen travelled through the Void to get here. And you lot, one world to another, via the Void. I like the, 'via the Void'. Look," I took off my glasses and put them on Rose. "I've been through it, do you see?"

"Reboot in three minutes," the computer said.

"What is it?" Rose asked.

"Void stuff."

"Like background radiation," Rose said happily.

"That's it. Look at the others. And the only one who hasn't been through the Void, your mother. First time she's looked normal in her life."

"Oi," Jackie said.

I ran to the wall where the Void would open, "But the Daleks lived inside the Void. They're bristling with it. Cybermen, all of them, I just open the Void, and reverse. The Void stuff gets sucked back inside."

"Pulling them all in," Rose yelled excitedly.

"Pulling them all in!"

"Sorry, but what's the Void?" Mickey asked.

"The dead space, some people call it hell."

"So you're sending the Daleks and the Cybermen to hell? Man, I told you he was good," Mickey said to Jake.

"But it's like you said. We've all got Void stuff," Rose said softly. She now understood the whole plan. "Me too, 'cause we went to that parallel world. We're all contaminated. We'll get pulled in."

"That's why you've got to go," I said softly walking up to her. I can't lose Rose like I lost Harper, I just can't.

"Reboot in two minutes."

"Back to Pete's world. Hey, we should call it that, 'Pete's World'," I said to Pete. "I'm opening the Void, but only on this side. You'll be safe on that side."

"And then you close it? For good?" Pete asked.

"The breach itself is soaked in Void stuff. In the end, it'll close itself. And that's it. Kaput."

"But you stay on this side?" Rose asked.

"But you'll get pulled in," Mickey said.

"That's why I got these," the Doctor held up one of the Magna-Clamps. "I'll just have to hold on tight. Been doing it all my life."

"I'm supposed to go?" Rose asked.

"Yeah," was all I said. I need to shut this conversation down now!

"To another world? And then it gets sealed off?"

"Yeah," I said going to work on the computer.

"Forever?" Rose scoffed and said, "That's not gonna happen."

There was a blast from somewhere in the building and the whole tower shook.

"We haven't got time to argue. The plan works. We're going," Pete said. "You, too, all of us."

"I'm not leaving him."

"I'm not going without her," Jackie said.

"Oh my, we're going," Pete yelling.

"I've had 20 years without you, so button it. I'm not leaving her!"

"But you've got to," Rose told her mum.

"Well, that's tough."

"Mum."

"Reboot in one minute."

"I had a life with you for 19 years. But then I met the Doctor. And all the things I've seen him do for me, for you, for all of us, for the whole stupid planet and every planet out there. He does it alone, mum." Pete slowly pulled out his yellow button and I pulled out the one I kept. "But not anymore, 'cause now he's got me."

I walked up behind Rose and slipped the chain around her neck. She turned to look at me but before she could do anything, Pete pushed the button and they were all gone.

I stood there just for a second before going back to work.

"I think this is the on switch," I heard and turned to see Rose standing there.

"Once the breach collapses, that's it," I said forcefully running to her. "You'll never be able to see her again. Your own mother."

"I made my choice a long time ago. And I'm never going to leave you. So, what can I do to help?"

I was shocked she would pick me over her mother, but it seemed there was no changing her mind.

"Systems rebooted. Open access."

"Those coordinates over there, set them all at six. And hurry up," I said and we got to work.

"We've got Cybermen on the way up," Rose said suddenly.

"How many floors down?"

"Just one."

'Well, this is just great!'


Harper's POV

I was running as fast as I could. "Why are there so many stairs," I whined. There were a group of Cybermen right behind me and they were closing in fast.

"We will retreat through the breach. Regain the home world," the Cybermen said.

Made it to another landing when a Cyberman with a gun stopped right in front of me. 'Oh, this is it, I'm a goner.'

But it surprised me by grabbing my arms and pushing me out of the way. This Cyberman had a more female sounding voice as she pointed her gun at the others saying, "You will not pass."

"What is the meaning of this?"

"You will not pass," and then the female Cyberman shot the others killing them all. "I did my duty. For Queen and Country."

"Thanks Yvonne," I whispered as I made my way up the finally floor.


The Doctor's POV

"Levers operational," the computer said and I smiled knowing we could finish this.

"That's more like it, bit of a smile. The old team," Rose said.

"Hope and Glory," I said. "Mutt and Jeff. Shiver and Shake."

"Which one's Shiver?"

"Oh, I'm Shake," I said passing Rose a Magna-Clamp. "Press the red button. When it starts, just hold on tight. Shouldn't be too bad for us, but the Daleks and the Cybermen are steeped in Void stuff. Are you ready?" I asked her as we grabbed a hold of the levers.

"So are they," she said looking over at the window where Daleks were heading our way.

"Let's do it," I yelled and we opened the breach.

"Online."

We ran to grab the Magna-Clamps as the breach started pulling things in. "The breach is open, into the Void!" I yelled.

A blast went off and the computer said, "offline." I watched as the lever on Rose's side started to go back down.

"Hold on!" I yelled as she tried to reach for the lever.

Her hand slipped from the Magna-Clamp and she almost fell but then another hand grabbed hers.

"Sorry, cutting it a little close there," Harper said with a smile. She had a rope tied around her waist and the other end connected to a Magna-Clamp that was on the back wall.

"Your alive!" I said happily, but then I had to watch helpless as Rose gave Harper a nodded and she let go of her hand. Rose held onto the lever trying to reactivate it.

"I've got to get it upright," Rose said.

The she pushed harder and the lever came back up, "online and locked."

"Rose, hold on!" I yelled.

"Rosie, grabbed my hand," Harper yelled trying to get closer to Rose, but she wasn't close enough. She started to untie the rope and holding onto the end of it to give her a few more inches, but still it wasn't long enough.

"Hold on!" I yelled to both of them.

Then Rose's hands slipped and she fell throws the Void. "No!" Both Harper and I yelled.

At the last minute Pete appeared and catching Rose, sending them both back to his world.

"Systems closed," the computer said once the breach had closed itself.

I let go of the Magna-Clamp and walk slowly down to the wall. She was gone. Rose was gone, forever.


Harper's POV

I slowly walked over to the Doctor, he had his hand resting against the wall almost as if he stayed there long enough the Void would somehow open and Rose could come back.

"Doctor?" I said slowly.

"This is your fault," he said so quietly I almost missed it.

"Excuse me?"

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He screamed. "You knew this would happen. But did you do anything about it? No!" He marched over to me and for the first time in my life I was scared of him. "You never liked Rose so is this your way of getting rid of her? Getting her out of the way. Well I hope you're happy!"

How… how could he think that? Rose and I had our differences but she was my friend. Sister even. I tried to save her.

"Doctor, I tried…"

"Let's go," he walked passed me as if I was nothing.

When we got back to the TARDIS the Doctor immediately started to go somewhere so just went to the stairs and sat down. I didn't want to leave him, but I didn't want to be to close either. This seemed like a good compromise. I know he was hurting from losing Rose, so I was doing my best to not take what he said to personal.

But what hurt the most was he had me blocked. I couldn't see his thoughts and he was refusing to enter mine. I would have thought he would want that back now that we were no longer at Torchwood.

I watched from afar as he said his goodbye to Rose. He had his back to me so I could see Rose on the screen he was using. I wanted so badly to go and say goodbye too, but I knew neither of them wanted that.

Once the image of Rose faded the Doctor dropped his head in sadness. He began to mess with the console when he look up and said "what?"

I looked over where he had and saw a red headed woman in a bridal gown. The woman made a noise of shock. "What?" The Doctor said again.

"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked loudly. I stood up to get a better look; neither of them seemed to notice.

"What?" The Doctor asked. 'He really needs to ask a different question.'

"What is this place?" She yelled.

"What?"


So what did you think? I know, I know, not the way you thought it would end. But this ending is what really got me wanting to write this story in the first place. I have had it on the notes app on my phone forever, so to actually get it out there is super exciting to me. Don't worry I have a plan! Please don't let this stop you from reading! Thank you for taking the time to read my story and please leave a review. I love hearing from you guys! Until next time my dear fellow Whovians, and remember always wear a Fez!
