CHAPTER 37

I do not own Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this.

Thank you for all of your favorites, follows, story alerts, and reviews!

This chapter takes place right after the events in Lily and Robin Chapter 44, The Adventures of Rose Tyler, Time Lady Chapter 68, and Oswin Oswald, Time's Guardian Chapter 15 and before The Further Adventures of River Song Chapters 4 - 5. How's that for narrowing the continuity down?

Jenny could feel her TARDIS screaming in her mind. She needed to save it now before it was too late. She began to glow with white energy; and she instantly teleported herself, Patrick, Amy, Rory, and Leela inside of it.

"Yes, run. Try to save your precious ship. It's already too late though. Soon there will be no more TARDISes, and we will control time and space," Kovarian said with a huge smile on her face to the already vanished Jenny.

Just as they arrived inside of her TARDIS, they could hear a very anxious voice calling them on the TARDIS' monitor. Amy knew that voice all too well, and she ran to answer it. She could feel her TARDIS screaming as well inside of her mind, and so she was sure that she knew why her little sister was calling her right now.

"There you are! What took you? I knew I should have gone with you. If I don't go with you and make sure that it gets done right, then it doesn't get done at all apparently. You do know that your TARDIS is screaming in pain, don't you?" Selene lectured her.

"Yes, I could only hear the screaming from miles away," Amy said as she rolled her eyes at her.

"Well, are any of you going to do something about it? This ship sounds like it's starting to come apart, and it's scaring Julia and Anthony," Selene said.

"Stop talking for a minute, and let me concentrate!" Jenny shouted as she broke into their conversation.

Selene looked miffed by this, but she said nothing. Amy just smiled. It wasn't everyone who could get her sister to just shut up like that once she got started. She was a regular chatterbox sometimes.

Jenny reached out with her powers and could feel both TARDISes through their mutual connection to the Vortex. She wasn't sure if she could save them or not since she had never tried to use her powers on something as complicated as a TARDIS before, but she was certainly going to try. She focused all of her concentration on them and could feel exactly what the Silence's weapon had done to them.

"They're not dying," Jenny said with a smile of relief on her face.

"What do you mean they're not dying? What do you call that screaming then?" Selene complained.

"They're extremely sick, but they're not dying. The weapon failed. At least it sort of did. It's not killing them, but it has made them so ill that it's prevented them from traveling through time and space for who knows how long. This could still be an extremely powerful weapon if the Silence ever find that out," Jenny said with alarm in her voice.

"I can only imagine what they would do with it. They would leave the Time Lords without their TARDISes for who knows how long while they could just do whatever they wanted to manipulate time. They'd probably find some way to kill the Doctor since that seems to be all that they ever think about," Amy said.

"Why do they hate my Dad so much?" Jenny asked.

"I don't know. They believe that they have to kill him before he brings about the end of the universe somehow. I never did understand it. If you ask me, they're all just fanatics," Amy said.

"So you're saying that we're all stranded here then?" Patrick asked.

"We won't be able to leave with our TARDISes anytime soon that's for sure. I can probably get us all out with Sarah's help though with just our powers," Jenny said.

"Yeah but that means that I lose my TARDIS. I don't like that at all. I just got used to it," Amy said.

"Maybe we could bring them back with us too. I'd be afraid to ask someone else to come and get us in their TARDIS, or they may use the weapon on them too," Jenny said.

"What weapon?" a familiar voice said from the monitor.

They all looked to see an angry Marissa on half of the monitor now as she shared it with Selene. They now had a three-way conversation going on.

"The Silence are here, and they have a weapon that can make a TARDIS unable to travel in time. If you're already here, then you need to leave now before they set it off again," Jenny warned her.

"I'm not going anywhere until I get to see this supposed daughter of mine," Marissa said.

"I'm not even sure that she is your daughter. That's who she claims to be anyway. How did you even find out?" Jenny asked confused.

Lissa came on the screen briefly and waved at her with a guilty look on her face. Jenny groaned. She hadn't even realized that Lissa wasn't there due to all of the excitement since she had returned to her TARDIS keeping her mind occupied.

"Why did you bring your mum into this? She's not even supposed to have met you yet," Jenny said in an aggravated tone.

"What are you, my sister? I don't have to answer to you. I don't have to answer to anyone," Lissa protested.

"Shut up, Lissa!" Marissa shouted.

"Yes, Mum," Lissa said as she cringed before her mother's temper.

Marissa then said in a softer tone, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that."

"It's okay. You do it to me all of the time in the future. It seems that I get on your nerves a lot," Lissa said with a grin.

"I can't imagine why that would be," Marissa said with a giggle as she gave Lissa a small hug as an apology.

"I can," Jenny said to herself.

"Zip it, Tyler," Lissa said as she shot Jenny a dirty look.

"I want to see this woman claiming to be my Shehzadi," Marissa said.

"Okay. Come on in then. If you land here, you may never be able to leave though," Jenny warned her again.

"I have a way around that," Marissa said with a grin.

Marissa suddenly appeared in the console room with Oswin. Oswin had brought her there with her temporal shift ability.

"I left the TARDIS in Lissa's hands. She'll keep it in the Vortex until I'm finished here," Marissa said.

"I'm not so sure that leaving your TARDIS with Lissa was the best idea," Sarah said.

"What? Why?" Marissa asked with sudden fear.

"She's my best friend, and I love her like a sister. However, she's very, uh, irresponsible at times. She also seems to get into trouble a lot," Sarah explained with a guilty look on her face as she said these things about Lissa. She loved Lissa and hated to say anything bad about her, but she felt that she owed the truth to Marissa.

"How much does she get into trouble?" Marissa asked with a sinking feeling of dread in her stomach.

"River Song is her idol. She always wanted to be just like her when she grew up," Sarah said.

"Oh, no! No no no!" Marissa said.

"What's wrong with River being someone's idol? I think it's great," Amy said.

"Of course you would. You're her mother," Marissa said with a sigh.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Amy asked with a sudden burst of temper.

"I'm sure that it doesn't mean anything," Rory said as he tried to calm Amy down.

"Well, it must mean something," Amy said.

"I don't want to fight with you, Cliodna. I just want to see this impersonator. Where is she?" Marissa asked Jenny.

Amy then started to say something in a language that the TARDIS didn't translate. Marissa's face turned bright red, and she began to talk in the same language.

"Uh, what's going on?" Patrick asked nervously.

They're insulting each other in Gallifreyan. The TARDIS isn't translating it because it's, uh, full of profanities. The TARDIS doesn't like bad language. Jenny said in Patrick's mind.

What are they saying? Patrick asked her through their semi-link curiously.

I'm too much of a lady to say things like that, even to you. Jenny replied as she blushed.

Patrick saw that Jenny wasn't the only one blushing either. Sarah was as well; and she looked so, so sorry that she had ever even brought the topic up in the first place.

Leela, however, seemed to just be loving every minute of it. She was grinning and giggling away at the whole thing. She understood every word they were saying of course since she had lived on Gallifrey for a very long time.

"You don't have to enjoy it quite so much, Leela," Romana said.

"It is just so funny to me because most of the time your people acted so stiff and formal, Romana. They remind me a lot of the Doctor in a way except for the cursing. He hardly ever did that," Leela said.

Both women shot a dirty look at Leela now as they both said at once, "You take that back!"

"Amy, I think that this has gone on long enough. Why don't you two just make up with each other and let Marissa see the woman she came here to talk to?" Rory said as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"If you want to keep that hand, you'd better remove it. I won't make up with her until she apologizes about that little crack that she made about our daughter," Amy said.

"I didn't really say anything. It's just that she's hardly a suitable role model for my daughter," Marissa said.

"What does that mean?" Rory said as he now began to get angry too.

"Guys, guys! Let's just stop this before things get out of hand here," Oswin said as she got in-between the three of them.

"Do you want to know why the Cybermen called me 'The Devastation'? Keep on talking and find out," Amy said to Oswin.

"Hey, I'm just trying to stop all of this before it gets too out of control," Oswin complained.

Jenny had finally had enough when she saw Patrick start to jerk in nervous tension at all of the fighting. That was it!

"SHUT UP!" Jenny said as she went into full Bad Wolf mode and glowed with power.

"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! START ACTING YOUR AGE AND SETTLE THIS LIKE ADULTS! NOW!" Jenny shouted.

"Whoa!" Rory said in surprise.

Jenny was usually so nice and sweet. This anger of hers really surprised him.

Marissa and Amy both looked at each other in shock for a moment, and then they began to laugh. They started to hug each other as Marissa said with a giggle, "She reminds me of someone else when they used to get really angry."

"Oh, yeah! She's Arkytior's daughter, that's for sure," Amy said with a huge grin on her face.

Jenny just groaned and shook her head at their childish behavior as she returned back to normal. She saw Patrick looking at her with an odd look on his face.

What? Jenny asked him in his mind.

I've never been in love with you more. That. Was. Just. Awesome! Patrick replied back to her with an expression of awe on his face.

You're a strange boy sometimes, do you know that? I love you anyway though. Jenny said with a warm smile.

Marissa and Oswin then went to question Shehzadi* while Jenny decided to stop this new weapon of the Silence's once and for all. She now sensed that all of the beauty of this planet had been destroyed. She could feel that all of the native life forms on this planet were now completely gone. Kovarian had turned this once vibrant planet into a dead world in a matter of minutes! This infuriated her. She was determined that this weapon would not be used again anywhere else. Never again!

Kovarian waited to hear word from her Silence agents that the TARDISes had both fallen to pieces and disintegrated as her scientists assured her would happen. The last thing that she had expected was to have Jenny return with some back-up ready and willing to fight with her and her army. She would have thought that the destruction of her TARDIS would have taken the wind out of her sails and broken her morale, but it seemed that she had underestimated the Doctor's daughter.

Jenny had appeared right in the middle of the Silence camp along with Sarah, Amy, Rory, and Leela. She had taken the Silence completely by surprise with her sneak attack, and she smiled to herself at the commotion that this was causing amongst them.

"Very good, Daughter of the Wolf! Very good, indeed!" Kovarian said with a grudging respect for her enemy.

This time, Sarah analyzed the Silence's weapon with her powers while Amy used her sonic screwdriver to slowly take it apart while following Sarah's directions so that it wouldn't accidentally be set off again. Jenny provided her with cover fire while Rory and Leela helped her to deal with several members of the Silence, Daleks, Headless Monks, and Cybermen who tried to stop them. It helped them even further that the Silence and their various allies were all getting in each other's way this time because Jenny's attack had taken them by surprise and disoriented them so successfully that all they were fighting on was blind panic with no plan whatsoever.

Working quickly, Amy had the Silence's TARDIS killer dismantled and lying in several pieces on the ground within minutes. Then Sarah disintegrated it into sludge so that it could never be used again.

"It will do you no good. We still have the plans for them. We can always make more," Kovarian said as she suddenly appeared next to Amy and Sarah.

"It doesn't work on the TARDISes. You thought it would kill them, but all you did was to wind up wiping out this entire planet instead while missing the original targets. You killed an entire world just to get to us! THAT. WILL. NOT. STAND!" Jenny shouted to Kovarian.

Sarah began to smile as she could see the woman that she knew that Jenny would be in the future beginning to emerge from within her sister at last. This was the woman that would one day rule over Gallifrey, and apparently it began here when she stood up to the genocide that the Silence had committed here this day.

Jenny's wrath had made even the Daleks cower before her, and they began to back away from her as did the others that had been fighting her army. Jenny began to release a torrent of energy from her body as she sent all of her enemies back to where they came from except for Kovarian.

Jenny put her hand on top of Kovarian's head while the woman shook in terror before her and commanded, "You will forget all about this weapon. You will abandon it because it does not work!"

"Maybe it didn't destroy your TARDIS, but it did cause massive destruction of all of the life on this planet. That means that it does work even if not in the way that we intended it, and it will be a most effective weapon for the Daleks in the future," the voice of Davros said.

Jenny turned to see the creator of the Daleks before her with a malevolent smile on his face. He flipped a switch on his chair, and a strange energy started to bath Jenny in its glow as it began to be projected from a device that had suddenly popped out of the top of it.

Jenny screamed in agony, and Sarah immediately knew what this was. This was the weapon that the Emperor had used on their mother. Apparently Davros had it as well and was now using it on her sister! If she didn't stop him, then her sister would have her connection to the Vortex removed just like Rose had.

No one was looking at her so Sarah made a fateful decision. She transformed into a Weeping Angel and darted toward Davros at incredible speed. She ripped Davros' chair to pieces in a savage frenzy until the ray stopped functioning. Davros then looked at her with an expression of pure fear on his face. He knew then what he was facing. Even Davros it seemed knew to fear an Angel!

Davros desperately pushed a control on his chair as he continued to stare without blinking at Sarah the entire time. He hoped against hope that this one control at least still worked. Apparently it did as Davros and Kovarian disappeared in a flash of light. They had returned to the Silence's hidden base.

Sarah transformed back to her normal self as Amy looked at her in fear. She had very bad memories of her last encounter with the Angels after all.

"I wouldn't . . . ," Sarah started to say.

"I know, and I'm so sorry about that because I know that I'm hurting you. I just have a phobia about the Angels. Once a bunch of them try to kill you, you tend to freeze in terror at the sight of one. Even if one of them is a trusted friend," Amy explained as she put a comforting hand on Sarah's shoulder.

"It's okay. I understand," Sarah said with a troubled look on her face.

Amy put an arm around her and said, "No, you don't. It hurts you. I'm so sorry. I'm not afraid of you, and I don't think badly of you at all. You just saved your sister. That's a good thing you know."

Jenny slowly got up off of the ground where she had fallen in pain. She walked over to Sarah and hugged her sister tightly without speaking. Sarah could see that Jenny had been terrified just from the expression that was still on her face.

"It's okay, Jen. You're okay now," Sarah said with a smile as she hugged her back in an attempt to comfort her. Just for this once, she was glad that she was an Angel.

Sarah used her powers to take them all back to Jenny's TARDIS since Jenny was still so weak. Jenny would recover, but she had come very close to having her connection to the Vortex severed just like Rose had.

It was then that the Doctor's TARDIS arrived, and the Doctor and Rose got out of it along with someone that Sarah was shocked to see. It was Jenny's dark side!

Rose could see the scared look on Jenny's face, and she immediately knew what had just happened to her.

"Mum, they almost did it to me. I almost had my powers removed just like you did. It was Davros. He had a device like the one that you described that the Dalek Emperor had. Davros must have had it first," Jenny said as she shook at the memory of the ray's effects.

"I know. Davros had it before and gave it to the Silence. They had used it on me once before it turns out. Queen Xanxia was their pawn, and she used a similar device on me long before the Emperor did. I knew at the moment that the Emperor used it on me that the Silence had been out to get me even then, and Xanxia had been working for them. They want to take out the Vortex users because they can remember them, and they're a huge threat to them because of that, especially with their powers. I'm so sorry that I didn't get here sooner. Marissa let me know what was going on here, and I came as soon as I could. Are you okay?" Rose said as she comforted Jenny with a one-armed hug.

"Mother, I want to stay here to protect her. She doesn't need to be worried about the Silence being out to get her," Jennifer, Jenny's dark side, said.

"What am I, chopped liver?" Sarah asked annoyed.

"I can help. I want to help," Jennifer said.

"Okay," Sarah said as she could see in her eyes that Jennifer really did want to help her other self.

"There's something else that I can do while I'm here that will certainly help. You said that Joan Redfern was still buried underneath Sister Pestilence, right?" Jennifer asked Rose.

Rose nodded, and Jennifer headed to the cells of the TARDIS. She knew where her other self would have put Joan. She walked past the cell of Shehzadi where Marissa and Oswin were still talking to her as she came up to Joan's cell.

"What do you want? Are you here to tell me again about how you'll take care of me until you find a way to free me? Don't waste my time with your pity and your pathetic display of altruism," Sister Pestilence said.

"I wouldn't dream of it," Jennifer said as she blasted Sister Pestilence with dark energy and laid her out cold on the floor.

Patrick, who had silently been following her up until now out of curiosity, shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Jennifer opened the cell door with a gesture as she said with a grin, "Nothing bad from now on if that's what you're worried about, Pat."

"Don't call me Pat. You know that annoys me," Patrick said without thinking because Jennifer was acting just like Jenny.

"I know. That's why I do it," Jennifer said with a huge grin.

She then proceeded to envelope Sister Pestilence with a burst of black energy that instantly split her in two. Sister Pestilence now lay on the floor next to Joan Redfern. Joan was free!

Joan woke up and ran to Jennifer with joy all over her face. She hugged Jennifer tightly and said, "Thank you, Jenny! Thank you!"

"I'm glad to help. It's nice to prove that I can do something good for once," Jennifer said as she didn't bother to correct Joan calling her by the wrong name.

As Joan left to run up to the console room in joy, Patrick said, "I could see that look on your face when she called you Jenny. You are Jenny though. I can see that. You are her in every way that matters."

"No, I'm evil," Jennifer said as she looked away at him.

"No, you're not. Would an evil person have done what you just did? I don't think so," Patrick said.

"That's what she and I both love about you. You always see the smallest flicker of light inside even the greatest darkness," Jennifer said as she smiled at him.

The Doctor and Rose agreed to let Jennifer stay with Jenny's crew where Jenny promised that they could both watch over each other while they left to take Joan to see Donald. They knew that Donald would be ecstatic to see her again.

Jenny was a little wary of having her dark self here, but she had helped Joan without being asked to so she hoped that maybe this might work out after all. She would feel much better if Jennifer had agreed to merge back together with her, but so far she had declined to. She was too afraid of doing so because she likened it to dying.

Jenny pushed any worries about Jennifer aside though as she got ready to finally do what she had come here for and ask Leela what she knew about linking with a human.

Meanwhile, Sarah was confronted with her greatest fear as Jon looked at her with a strange expression on his face. She knew instantly that he knew what she was. Somehow he knew!

Lissa, who had landed Marissa's TARDIS now that it was safe and rejoined the others, pointed at the monitor where a recording was running. It was a recording of her fighting with Davros as a Weeping Angel!

"I'm so sorry! The monitor recorded the whole thing, and Jon started to play it before I could stop him," Lissa said.

"I knew that you were keeping a secret from me, but I had no idea it was this. I recorded that fight because I wanted to see what you were hiding from me. I knew it must have something to do with your powers. I'm sorry that I did it, but I had to know. We have to talk about this, Sarah," Jon said.

Sarah looked at him in terror as she feared what he was about to say. She didn't know what she would do if he wound up hating or fearing her because of this.

*For this conversation, see Oswin Oswald, Time's Guardian Chapter 16 coming soon.

Next: Jenny and Amy finally get to talk to Leela about her experience linking with Andred while Sarah and Jon have a long overdue discussion about her greatest secret.
