{Army Of Ghost Part II}

"Allons-y. I like that Allons-y. I should that more often. Watch out Rose Tyler. Allons-y. Then it would be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso. Because then I could say, "Allons-y Alonso! Allons-y Alonso. You're staring at me."

"My Mum is still on board." said Rose motioning to the stairs.

"If we end up on Mars I'm going to kill you." Jackie told her son-in-law.

The TARDIS materialized into TORCHWOOD loading Bay 2 and was immediately surrounded by armed troops. The Doctor watched them on scanner. Rose squeezed his hand gently.

"Oh well there goes the advantage of surprise. Still, cuts to the chase. Stay here and look after Jackie." said the Doctor.

"I'm not looking after Mum." said Rose in protest.

"We'll you brought her."

"You kidnapped me." said Jackie.

"Doctor they've got guns." said Rose.

"And I haven't. Which makes me the better person, don't you think? They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine." He told her.

The Doctor pushed her blonde hair of his wife's face and pulled her closer to him. He captured her lips with own. He buried his hand in her hair. He used his left hand and traced Gallifreyan symbols on her back. He pulled back and gently rubbed her belly and kissed her one more time.

"I love you too Kasterborous." She whispered in his ear.

He smiled and walked out of the TARDIS. Rose ran over to the door to listen. Jackie rubbed her back soothingly. She kissed her daughter on forehead. Rose squeezed her mother's hand.

The Doctor closed the TARDIS door and raised his hands at the armed guards. Yvonne ran into the large room her high heels hitting the hard floor. She had waited years for this day to come. She had the Doctor the number on enemy of Torchwood in front of her.

"Oh! Oh marvelous! Oh, very good! Sobered! Happy day!" said Yvonne and started clapping followed by the soldiers.

The Doctor slowly lowered his arms in confusion. He had at lest more then twelve soldiers that guns pointed at him, and they were now clapping.

"Er, thanks. Nice to meet you. I'm the Doctor." he said introducing himself.

"Oh, I should say! Hurray!" she said again and clapped.

"You've heard of me then?" said the Doctor trying to figure out what was going on and where he was at the moment.

Yvonne smiled brightly, "Well, of course we have. And I have to say, if it wasn't for you, none of us would be here. The Doctor and the TARDIS," and they appalled again.

"And you are?" asked the Time Lord.

"Oh, plenty of time for that. But according to the records you're not one to travel alone. The Doctor and his companion. That's the pattern, isn't that right? There's no point in hiding anything. Not from us. So, where is she?" asked Yvonne.

"Yes. Sorry. Good point." said the Doctor. "She's just a bit shy is all." He opened the blue door slightly and pulled out the first person nearest the door. He was glad it was Jackie and not actually Rose. "But here she is this is Rose Tyler. She's not the best I ever had. Bit too blonde. Not too steady on her pins. A lot of that." He motioned with hand that she talked too much. "And just last week she started into the heart of the Time Vortex. She aged fifty years. But she'll do."

"I'm forty and if you don't watch it your going get a smack." whispered Jackie.

"Deluded. Bless. I'll have to trade her in. Do need anyone? She's very good at tea. Well, I mean not bad. Well, I say not bad. Lead on. Allons-y! but not too fast. Her ankle's are going."

"I'll show you were my ankles going." hissed Jackie in the Doctor's ear.

'Doctor, you better be careful. Mum might smack you into your next regeneration.' Rose told him through their telepathic link.

'I couldn't help it. You know I have a gob. I want you to stay in the TARDIS were it's safe. Oh hell, why am I telling you that. You won't listen. You always go off anyways. Just be careful.' He told her gently.

'I will. You be careful. Look after Mum. Remember she's you're mother in law.

'Ah, did you have to remind me?' He whinnied and he heard Rose laugh.

The Doctor and Yvonne walked down the hall followed by Jackie and several of the guards. "I knew it was only a matter of time before you found us, and at last you made it. I'd like to welcome you Doctor. Welcome to Torchwood."

They entered a large room with boxes of thousands of items. Yvonne told them that they protect the boarders from aliens. He looked at several pieces of guns and told her that they didn't have particle guns it was the twenty first century. She went on to explain about the spaceship they had shot down and stripped it for their weapons because they were taking up their satellite space.

"What's you're name?" asked the Doctor.

"Yvonne Hartman." She said and the Doctor picked up a large magnet. "Ah, yes. We're rather fond of these. The Magnclamp. Found in a spaceship buried at the base of Snowdon. Attach this to an object and it cancels the mass. I could use it to lift two tones of weight with a single hand. That's a imperial ton by the way. Torchwood refuses to go metric."

Jackie looked at it in awe. She had never seen anything like it. "I could use that to carry the shopping."

"All these devices are for Torchwood's benefit, not the general public." She told Jackie.

"So, what are these ghost?" asked the Doctor now wanting to get to the point of why he was there.

"Ah, yes the ghosts. They're might er call a side effect."

The Doctor raised a brow. "Of what?"

"All in good time Doctor." said Yvonne with a smile. "There's a itinerary, trust me."

The TARDIS went behind a truck to be placed and catalog.

"Oi! Where are you taking that?" asked Jackie.

"If it's alien it's ours." said Yvonne.

"You'll never get inside it." said the Doctor and he saw Rose's head peek through the door. He gave her slight nod.

Rose walked over to the Doctor's tan coat and dug through his pockets. "Psychic paper. Psychic paper." She smiled and pulled over a blue flip card carrier and stuck it in her pocket.

She carefully left the TARDIS and locked the door behind her. She grabbed a white lab coat that was nearby and made her way out of the holding warehouse.

Adeloa leered another coworker, Matt away from the leaver room and up to the deserted floor. He walked into the closed off area and came out with two flashing earpieces instead of just the normal one. He had been turned into a human type of Cybermen.

"All those times I've been on Earth. I've never heard of you." said the Doctor as they made their way down the corridor.

"But of course not. You're the enemy." said Yvonne. "You're actually named Torchwood Foundation Charter of 1879 as an enemy of the Crown."

"1879. That was called Torchwood, that house in Scotland."

"That's right. We're you encountered Queen Victoria and the werewolf."

He let a small laugh leave his lips. "Yep," He said popping the "p" We were knighted and then banished to never return again." He elbowed Jackie slightly, "We found out her family's blood disease was actually because she had been bitten by the werewolf."

"I think he makes some of it up." said Jackie.

"Oh, if I'm the enemy does that make me your prisoner?" asked the Doctor.

"Oh yes. But we'll make up perfectly comfortable. And there is so much you can teach us. Starting with this," and Yvonne scanned her idea over the lock and the door slid open.

The Doctor slowly walked up to the golden floating orb and looked at it carefully. He pulled out his 3D and slipped them on his face.

Jackie looked at it. "It feels weird."

"It does that to everybody." said Rajesh. "We tried analyzing it using every device. The sphere doesn't exists. It weighs nothing. It doesn't age, no heat, no radiation, and no atomic mass. Fascinating. Isn't?"

"Well what is it Doctor?" asked Yvonne.

He looked at it and said, "This is a Void Ship. I thought it was just a theory." He removed his glasses, turned around and sat down on the stairs. "It's a ship that's designed to exist outside of time and space traveling through the Void."

"What is the Void?" asked Rajesh.

"The void is a space between dimensions. There's all sorts of realities around us, different dimensions, billions of parallel universes all stacked up against each other. The Void is the space between, containing absolutely nothing. Imagine that. Nothing, no light, no dark, no up, no down, no life, no time. Without end. My people called it the Void. Eternals called it The Howling. But some people call it Hell."

"Why build it? What for? Why go there?" asked Rajesh.

"To explore? To escape. You could sit inside that thing and an eternity would pass you by. The Big Bang. The End of the Universe. The start of the next wouldn't even touch the sides. You'd exist outside the whole of creation."

"How do we get inside it?" asked Rajesh.

"You don't, we send that thing back into hell. How did it get here in first place?" asked the Doctor.

Yvonne looked at the sphere then at the Doctor. "Well, that's how it all started. The sphere came through into this world, and the ghosts followed in its wake."

"Show me," said the Doctor and walked out the door and turned left.

"No, Doctor." said Yvonne and he turned around a went right.

Yvonne showed the Doctor where the sphere and the ghost came through. While Jackie looked around the area. She found out that they were at Canary Wharf. Yvonne told her that it was know as that to the public, but everyone there it was known as Torchwood.

"So you find the breach, probe it, the sphere comes through six hundred feet about London, bam. It leaves a hole in a fabric of reality. And that hole you think, oh shall we leave it alone? Shall we back off? Shall we play it safe? Nah, you say let's make it bigger!" said the Doctor.

Yvonne assured him that they have the ghosts under control and that it was a large amount of energy that could make Britain truly independent. The Time Lord rubbed his temples in frustration. He knew humans could be brilliant but so times they were so stupid jumping into things they didn't understand.

Yvonne announced that the next ghost shift started in a few minutes. The Doctor quickly intervened telling her to cancel the shift. She went into mocking him saying that the legends were true that the Doctor was lording over mankind.

He walked over to a glass door and sonic the glass to shatter. He explained the entire dimension had splintered and that's how the ghost had gotten through and they were able to get everywhere because they were bleeding through the fault lines and if let too many through. He poked the glass and it shattered on the floor. Yvonne looked at the glass and canceled the ghost shift. She turned to the Doctor and told him that they should learn more from him before in reconvene the next shift.
