A.N- Hey Readers! I'm sorry that lately my chapters have been decreasing in length. It's hard to think of a new plot almost everyday! So if you guys have any ideas for plots or anything you want to see more or less of in the story, please let me know. I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Even with a mighty headache, Clara, who was hiding in an alleyway, had figured out some things that had happened. First of all, the bodies were still warm, meaning the killing took place farther in the night, also, since she was still drunk when she woke up, she probably didn't sleep for too long, she was probably knocked out when all the people were killed.
She stumbled out of her hiding spot to get a visual on her surroundings. All the different alien races were gone, only one still stood. The fish people, or Glumanions, whatever they were scouted the streets. Some were carrying guns and some were carrying passed out humans, fireman style. Clara looked to the direction they captures were heading.
A black and silver ship slightly hovered above the ground, a metal plank connecting it to the Spirit Nova's surface. It had a large crest hanging from a white banner, it was probably owned by royalty. Troops with guns were coming off of it and troops with human captives were coming onto it.
Clara had a bad feeling about this but she knew that was where she had to head. The ship was filled with trouble, meaning Scarlet and The Doctor had to be on it. Ducking in alleys and hiding behind advertisement boards, she made her way to the Glumanion ship.
The ship was dark and cold. Clara shivered as she entered it. She was short while the fish were tall, they didn't even notice her maneuver through them on her hands and knees. She decided to stay on her hands and knees, for safety, although it was hard to stay in focus. Her body felt like shit, whatever she took, made a normal hangover feel like a pile of daisies.
She fell over a couple times because she was so dizzy and she almost vomited at least three times. When she figured her body couldn't handle anymore crawling, she decided to stand up, her head bumping right into one of the fish guards. Before she could say a word, she was knocked out, making everything go black.
When Clara woke up, she feared where she would be. She prayed for a nice cold dungeon, which would be a lot better than hanging over a boiling pot of lava, but she woke up, she was at the head of a long fancy table, fish in fancy costumes and sporting curly mustaches faced her, awaiting her awaking. She blinked a couple times waiting for one of them to say something. The one Clara recognized from the hologram stood up.
"You were in La Casa de Earth last night." He said it more as a statement than as a question.
"Yes I was." She tried to hide her fear and sound strong.
"Then why aren't you dead?" All the fish people raised their eyebrows at the young woman.
"Why did you kill all of those humans?"
"A law breaker." One of the fish, in more fancy clothing said. "I sent troops to kill every human in that accursed place, you shouldn't be alive." Clara thought for a moment. I must have already been passed out drunk. Who knew that being a light weight could save her life.
"Who broke what law?" Clara asked, trying to be demanding.
"A man entered a no human allowed club with his girlfriend claiming to not be human, the man became incredibly drunk and broke one of the biggest laws on our planet." The fancy dressed alien said.
"What law?" Clara immediately knew who the fish was talking about, The Doctor and Scarlet.
"Ha! You humans don't know the extend of our great laws, there is no point in telling you."
Clara started getting annoyed, "So one stupid bloke made you capture thousands of people!"
"The Club of Glum which our planet gives lots of money to every year has never had a human step through those door in a thousand years except for the slaves that built it!" The fish yelled. "Guards, this girl has no more information for us, put her with the others, takeoff in ten minutes."
Clara hopped out of her seat and ran, large alien fish running at her. She used her small body to squeeze between them and kept running. She ran and ran, every time she passed a Glumanion it turned around and started chasing her. She ran through hallways and rooms, catching the attention of every fish in sight. She took a sharp corner, which lead to a dead end. She looked up, the window of the front of the ship was right above her. She was in the control room. She had a plan.
She turned around, seeing about 20 fish charging for her. The fish which loved using their large fists, had them in position to knock her out in one punch. Clara closed her eyes as the closest one got his hand in position...
A loud crunch was heard across the room, but it wasn't Clara's skull, she had ducked at the perfect moment. All the fish gathered around the one who tried to hit Clara, whose hand was lodged deeply into the main controls of the ship. He had passed out because of the electrocution. The fancy dressed fish, not even caring about the man down, started screaming.
"HOW WILL WE GET HOME NOW, YOUR IDIOT FRIEND DESTROYED THE MAIN CONTROLS!" He yelled in the direction of the other guards.
"Don't we have a mechanic on board?" One of the fish men asked.
"NO! WHY WOULD I BRING A MECHANIC ON AN ALCOHOL RUN!" Clara had an evil smirk on her face.
"You know," Everybody turned towards her direction. have a friend that's good at fixing things, but he comes at a large price."
The fancy dressed man smiled, "I'm the Emperor of Glumania, I can pay any price you need."
"Would you free all the humans you captured?" The Emperor turned away from her direction quickly.
"No, never, my planet needs slave for the Skallilite mines." The lighting flickered then eventually shut off.
"Can any of you useless guards fix this?" The Emperor called in the darkness. A chorus of 'no's' followed.
"Fine, I shall meet your demands."
"All finished!" The Doctor called with one last whirl of his sonic screwdriver. Scarlet and Clara walked over.
"Nice but you umm..." Scarlet started.
"What?" The Doctor asked.
"You just connect a couple of the wrong wires together, I'm sure you were gonna fix that later." Scarlet said, doing it for him.
"Oh, yes! Thanks! I knew that." The Doctor jumped up, holding his head as he got up too fast, still having a hangover.
"Come on, let's get you back to the TARDIS." Scarlet grabbed one of his arms and escorted him out of the ship, with Clara following. The Emperor stood behind them making sure to shout, "And you are all eternally banned from Glumania! Never go there or to our club again!" At least 20 times before they existed the ship.
They were all hanging in the control room. Clara was sitting on the railing, Scarlet the floor, and The Doctor leaning over the console, looking sick.
"Doctor, I was wondering, what law did you break that made the fish people so angry?" Clara asked.
"There called Glumanions Clara, and frankly, I was too drunk to remember."
"Do you remember Scarlet?"
"Nah, it was my first time drinking, I went a little overboard." Clara actually believed her until she turned and winked at her. "Doctor, you look like your about to vomit, go rest."
"Yeah I bet the TARDIS doesn't want your sick everywhere," Clara added.
"I guess your right, but you guys get some rest too, I don't want to have anymore adventures with hangovers, and tomorrow, we are going on a proper adventure." He clutched his head and existed the room. Scarlet grabbed Clara's hand.
"Come on, I need some tea to tell a good story."
Clara and Scarlet were chilling on a couch the TARDIS nicely put in the kitchen near the warm stove. She also put out Scarlet's spoonful of sugar tea and Clara's tea with milk on a coffee table to the side of the couch. They had both arrived in the kitchen in their night clothes, sitting on the couch like it was a gossip session.
"So what happened?" Clara asked.
"So I didn't have many drinks, because I can control myself, but The Doctor must have been dealing with something because he just had one round after another. He got plastered drunk, I had to bribe the bartender so he wouldn't sell him anymore drinks. The Doctor went on this long rant, even longer than his new planet rants, talking about some girls he had traveled with, and he talked about you-"
"What about me?"
"I don't know, some impossible girl stuff, any ways, after he stopped crying for a while, some fish guys in these fancy outfit came in for a drink. At this point, The Doctor is just rambling about things and walking around the bar. I don't know what clicked in his mind, but he ran up to this fish guy and made out with him, hardcore!"
"NO WAY, he snogged him!"
"Yeah, whatever you British people call it, any ways, apparently there is this great law against gayness in this guys planet, and he doesn't know what to freak out about more, that he just kissed him or that some "humans" got in his club. I tried to explain that we weren't human, but he didn't believe we were a race that had been extinct for thousands of years so he had one his henchmen kill the security guard because of his stupidity, then he waged a war against all humans on Spirit Nova. After that, we were knocked out."
"I can't believe I missed that!" Clara was laughing hysterically now.
"Just don't tell The Doctor, it's better that he doesn't know."
"Hey, it's secrets that keep us safe."
