As the Rocket powers up passengers get ready to board it including Padra and his family, and everyone in the lab, are working at different controls meanwhile Martha and Chantho are heading in the opposite direction from the queues carrying circuit boards.
"Excuse me," Martha said as she passed by someone and then she saw Creet "Hey, what was your name? Creet."
"That's right, miss," Creet told her.
"Who are you with, Creet?" Martha asked. "You got family?"
"No, miss," Creet answered "There's just me."
"Well, good luck," Martha said "What do you think it's going to be like in Utopia?"
"My mum used to say the skies are made of diamonds," Creet said.
"Good for her," Martha said "Go on, off you go. Get your seat." Creet continues onto the rocket as Martha and Chantho walked on.
Meanwhile in the lab the Doctor and Yana are working on either side of a large clear circuit board in the centre of the lab the Doctor sniffs a cord that he is holding "Is this...?"
"Yes, gluten extract," Yana confirmed "Binds the neutralino map together."
"But that's food," the Doctor said "You've built this system out of food and string and staples," he added as he took off his glasses "Professor Yana, you're a genius."
"Says the man who made it work," yana said.
"Ooh... it's easy coming in at the end but... you're stellar," the Doctor said "This is... this is magnificent. I don't often say that 'cause... well, 'cause of me."
"Well, even my title is an affectation," Yana said "There hasn't been such a thing as a university for over a thousand years. I've spent my life going from one refugee ship to another."
"If you had been born in a different time, you'd be revered," the Doctor said and Yana chuckles "I mean it. Throughout the galaxies."
"Oh, those damned galaxies," Yana said "They had to go and collapse. Some admiration would have been nice. Just a little. Just once."
"Well you've got it now," the Doctor said "But that footprint engine thing. You can't activate it from onboard. It's gotta be from here." He said and then looked at Yana "You're staying behind."
"With Chantho," Yana confirmed "She won't leave without me. Simply refuses."
"You would give your life so they could fly," the Doctor said
"Oh, I think I'm a little too old for Utopia," Yana said "Time I had some sleep."
"Professor, tell the Doctor we've found his blue box," Atillo said over the intercom in the room.
"Ah!" The Doctor said
"Doctor," Jack and Rose called as they both looked at a monitor and both The Doctor and Yana joins them by the monitor and saw the Tardis on the monitor as the Tardis was safely inside the silo.
"Professor, it's a wild stab in the dark, but me and Rose may just have found you a way out," the Doctor said as he pats Yana on the shoulder before heading towards the Tardis and materialized the Tardis in the lab.
The Doctor brings out a long power line from the Tardis out into the lab.
"Extra power," he said as he inserts the power line into an outlet. "Little bit of a cheat, but who's counting? Jack, you're in charge of the retro-feeds. Rose, help me."
As he said that the doors to the lab slides open as Martha and Chantho return.
"Oh, am I glad to see that thing," Martha said as she saw the Tardis
Chantho goes to Yana who is sitting down "Chan, Professor, are you all right, tho?" She asks him.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine," he told her. "I'm fine. Just get on with it."
"Connect those circuits into the spar, same as that last lot," Jack ordered Martha "But quicker."
"Yes, sir," Martha said as both the Doctor and Rose went over to Yana.
"You don't have to keep working," the Doctor suggests "We can handle it."
"It's just a headache, Yana explained "Just... Just noise inside my head, Doctor. Constant noise inside my head."
"What sort of noise?" Rose asked.
"It's the sound of drums," Yana said "More and more as though it's getting closer."
"Koschei," Rose murmured, remembering that one of her friends that she grew-up with told her that he had a sound of drums in his head since after looking into the Untempered Schism.
"Who?" Yana asked the Time Lady as he looked at her in confusion.
"Nothing nevermind," Rose said
"When did it start?" The Doctor asked Yana.
"Oh, I've had it all my life," Yana told him "Every waking hour. Still, no rest for the wicked."
He stands back up and goes back to work.
Martha and Chantho are working on the circuits as they placed the circuits into a rack that they were at "How long have you been with the professor?" Martha asked.
"Chan, 17 years, tho," Chantho answered.
"Blimey," Martha said "A long time."
"Chan, I adore him, tho," Chantho added.
"Oh right, and he..." Martha starts.
"Chan... I don't think he even notices, but I am happy to serve, tho," Chantho added.
"Do you mind if I ask?" Matha asked "Do you have to start every sentence with 'chan'?"
"Chan, yes, tho," Chantho replied
"And end every sentence with..."
"Chan, tho, tho," Chantho said.
"What would you happen if you didn't?" Martha asked her
"Chan, that would be rude, tho," Chantho replied.
"What, like swearing?" Martha asked.
"Chan, indeed, tho," Chantho confirmed.
"Go on, just once," Martha urged her.
"Chan, I can't, tho," Chantho said, nervously.
"Oh, do it for me," Martha said.
"No," Chantho said before Giggling and Martha then giggled as well, like schoolgirls.
"Professor?" Atillo called over the com. They heard a mutter and the screen flared to life to show the Lieutenant. "Professor, are you getting me?"
"I'm here," Yana cried "We're ready! Now all you need to do is connect the couplings. Then we can launch." The screen flickered as it Loses connection with Atillo "God sakes! This equipment! Needs rebooting all the time!"
"Anything I can do?" Martha asked "I've finished that lot."
"Yes, if you could," Yana said as he gets up so Martha can have his seat "Just press the reboot key every time the picture goes out."
"Certainly, sir," Martha said "Just don't ask me to do shorthand."
"Are you still there?" Atillo asked as he flickered back to life on the screen
"Ah, present and correct," Yana said "Send your man inside. We'll keep the levels down from here."
They watched as a man in a hazmat suit entered the red room with the couplings. "He's inside. And good luck to him," Atillo said
Yana walked to Jack "Captain, keep the levels below the red," Yana told him as the Doctor put his glasses back on.
"Where is that room?" The Doctor asked.
"It's underneath the rocket," Yana answered "Fix the couplings and the footprint can work. But the entire chamber is flooded with stet radiation."
"Stet? Never heard of it," the Doctor said as he and Rose followed Yana to the sceen.
"Nor, have I," Rose said.
"Neither of you wouldn't want to," Yana told them "But it's safe enough. We can hold the radiation back from here."
They watched on the monitor as the man worked on the couplings, they could also see, from a second camera, Atillo watching through a window from outside the room. And then suddenly an alarm begins to sound.
"It's rising... 0.2. Keep it level!" Yana commanded Jack as he was starting to panic.
"Yes, sir!"
The alarm stopped and they watched as the man moved on to the second coupling. Suddenly a different alarm went off and there was a rumbling sound.
"Chan, we're losing power, tho," Chantho said
"Radiation's rising!" The Doctor exclaims
"We've lost control!" Jack agreed
"The chamber's going to flood," Yana said as he was trying to stop the chamber flooding with stet radiation.
"Jack! Override the vents!" Rose called out to the former Time agent from the 51st century and Jack takes hold of two live cables.
"We can jump start the override!"Jack shouts as he held both cables together.
"Don't! It's going to flare!" The Doctor shouts back and Jack screams as the power courses through him and the others watch helpless as he then falls dead to the floor.
Meanwhile the man who was in the Chamber with Stet radiation disintegrated.
Martha rushes over to Jack "I've got him."
"Chan, don't touch the cables, tho,"Chantho said as she pushes the cables aside.
While everyone rushes to check on Jack, the Doctor and Rose both watches, unperturbed.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Yana said.
"The chamber's flooded with radiation, yes?" The Doctor asked Yana aa Martha starts to use mouth-to-mouth CPR on Jack.
"Without the couplings, the engines will never start," Yana added "It was all for nothing!"
"Oh, I don't know," the Doctor said and Rose walks towards Martha "Martha, leave him," Rose said as she pulls her up gently "You've gotta let me try, Rose," Martha protests
"Martha remember when I said that I accidently turned a friend of mine and the Doctor's immortal and that I regret it everyday?" Rose asked Martha. Martha nods her head.
"It strikes me, Professor, you've got a room a man can't enter without dying," the Doctor told Yana "Is that correct?"
"Yes," Yana said in confirmation.
"Well..." the Doctor said and Jack gasps for breath as he comes back to life and he Doctor removes his glasses," I've got just the man."
"Martha, Jack is the person , who I was talking about, who I accidently turned immortal," Rose told Martha.
"Was someone kissing me?" Jack asked
"Time and Place Jack. There is a time and place for flirting but not right now," Rose said and she, Jack and the Doctor ran through the silo to the control room and saw Atillo sitting at the panel, his head in his hands.
"Lieutenant, get onboard the rocket! I promise you're gonna fly," the Doctor told Atillo.
"The chamber's flooded!" Atillo protests.
"Trust my husband. We've found a way of tripping the system," Rose said "Run!" Atillo leaves as Jack removes his shirt "Wh... What are you taking your clothes off for?" The Doctor asked as he noticed what Jack was doing.
"I'm going in," Jack answered.
"Well by the looks of it, I'd say that stet radiation doesn't affect clothing, only flesh," the Doctor said.
"I look good though," Jack said as he heads for the door and Rose facepalmed herself and Jack Stops at door "How long have you both known?"
"Ever since I ran away from you," the Doctor answered
"I've known ever since I regained my Time Lady self," Rose answered.
"Good luck," the Doctor said.
"Good luck as well, Jack," Rose agreed and Jack enters the room and goes straight to the couplings and both the Doctor and Rose both watches Jack from the window.
"We lost picture when that thing flared up. Doctor, Rose are either of you there?" Martha asked from the computer in the lab.
"Receiving, yeah," the Doctor said.
"Martha, Jack's inside," Rose told her.
"And still alive?" Martha asked.
"Oh, yes," the Doctor answered
"But he should evaporate," Yana said, confusedly as he walks behind her "What sort of a man is he?"
"I've only just met him," Martha said "The Doctor and Rose sort of travels through time and space and picks people up. God, I make us sound like stray dogs. Maybe we are."
"They both travel in time?" Yana asked and he looks away distractedly.
"Don't ask me to explain it," Martha said "That's a TARDIS. The sports car of time travel, the Doctor says."
Yana hears Martha's voice echoing in his head.
Meanwhile back the the control room " When did you first realize?" The Doctor asked Jack.
"Earth 1892," Jack answered as he pressing the buttons on one of the couplings - the second one in line that the other man hadn't managed to finish. "Got in a fight in Ellis Island. A man shot me through the heart. Then I woke up. Thought it was kinda strange. But then it never stopped. Fell off a cliff, trampled by horses, World War I, World War II, poison, strangulation, a stray javelin..." The Doctor and Rose both winces at this remark. "In the end, I got the message, I'm the man who can never die. And all that time you knew Doctor, and Rose, you found out after becoming a Time Lady again."
"That's why I left you behind," the Doctor said It's not easy even just... just looking at you Jack, 'cause you're wrong."
"Thanks," Jack said, bitterly.
"You are, We can't help it," the Doctor said "We're Time Lords. It's instinct. It's in our guts. You're a fixed point in time a space. You're a fact. That's never meant to happen. Even the Tardis reacted against you, tried to shake you off. Flew all the way to the end of the universe just to get rid of you."
"So, Doctor, what you're saying is that you're, uh," Jack asks as he finishes the second coupling "prejudiced?"
"I never thought of it like that," the Doctor said.
"Neither have I," Rose added
"Yeah," Jack said
"Last thing I remember back when I was mortal... I was facing three Daleks. Death by extermination. And then I came back to life. What happened?" Jack asked
"Me," Rose answered
"Doctor, I thought you sent Rose back home."
"You think I would just stay there?" Rose asked Jack "Opened the heart of the Tardis and absorbed the time vortex."
"What does that mean, exactly?"
"No one's ever mean to have that power, Jack," Rose said "If I did it again I would become a goddess, a vengeful goddess. But I was still disguised as human at the time."
"Everything I did was so human," Rose said "I brought you back to life but I couldn't control it. I accidently brought you back forever."
"That's something, I suppose," the Doctor said "The final act of the Time War was life."
"Rose, do you think you could change me back?" Jack asked Rose
"No," Rose said "Even if I wanted to I wouldn't let you die, cause you're like a brother to my human self.
"Rose, I went back to your estate, in the 90s, just once or twice," Jack said "Watched you growing up. Never said hello, timelines and all that."
"Do you wanna die?" The Doctor asked Jack, but Jack wasn't sure whether it was a threat about him going back, or if was just a genuine question. He didn't answer as he struggled with the coupling.
"Oh, this one's a little stuck," Jack muttered as he struggled with the coupling.
"Jack?" The Doctor said in a warning tone.
"I thought I did," Jack said in a low tone "I dunno. But this lot, you see them out here surviving and that's fantastic,"Jack said as he grinned and a grin had slowly appeared across the Doctor's face and Rose's as well and the grin became even broader when Jack used the Doctor's old catchphrase and Jack then moves onto the last coupling.
"You may be out there somewhere," Rose suggested.
"I could go meet myself," Jack said
"Well, the only man you're ever gonna be happy with," the Doctor said
"Doctor, this new regeneration, of yours it's kinda cheeky," Jack complimented.
"Hmm," the Doctor agreed with a giggle.
Back in the lab Martha was confused what Jack meant by 'regeneration'.
"I never understand half the things the Doctor says," Martha said and she turns around and saw that Professor Yana was leaning heavily against the table, gasping. He looked rather ill and she goes to him "What's wrong?"
Chantho goes to him as well "Chan, Professor, what is it, tho?"
"Time travel," Yana replied "They say there was time travel back in the old days. I never believed. But what would I know? I'm just a stupid old man. Never could keep time. Always late, always lost."
Even this thing never worked," he said as he pulls out a fob watch from his waistcoat pocket "Time and time and time again. Always running out on me."
"Can I have a look at that?" Martha asked.
"Oh, it's only an old relic," Yana said "Like me," he then said as he chuckles.
"Where did you get it?" Martha asked him.
"Hm? I was found with it," he answered.
"What do you mean?" Martha asked him.
"An orphan in the storm. I was a naked child found on the coast of the Silver Devastation. Abandoned with only this," Yana explained.
"Have you opened it?" She asked him.
"Why would I? It's broken," he said
"How do you know it's broken if you never opened it?" martha asked him, confused on how he would know that it was broken, if he'd never opened the watch
"It's stuck. It's old. It's not meant to be," Yana explained.
"I don't know," he then said as he held it out so Martha could look at it and she takes the watch and turns it over and saw that It bears the same engravings as ones the Doctor and Rose had and she steps back and breathes nervously.
"Does it matter?" Yana asked her.
"No!" Martha said quickly "It's... nothing. It's... Listen, everything's fine up here. I'm gonna see if the Doctor and Rose needs me."
"Yes!" Jack exclaims as he releases the last of the couplings in the chamber that is flooded with stet radiation.
"Now get out of there, Come on!" The Doctor shouts at Jack.
Martha runs through the corridors.
Jack re-enters the control room as the Doctor calls Atillo. "Lieutenant, everyone on board?" He asked.
"Ready and waiting," Atillo answered.
"Stand by! Two minutes to ignition," He said before hanging the phone up and he, Rose and Jack were at the controls as Martha runs in.
"Ah, nearly there. The footprint is a gravity pulse. It stamps down, the rocket shoots up. Bit primitive. It's gonna take the both of us to keep it stable," the Doctor told Martha and Something beeped and he rushed to press buttons. Martha decided to help too, while Rose was was at a different control.
"Doctor, Rose," Martha said and they stopped and looked at their companion "it's the professor. He's got this watch. He's got a fobwatch. It's the same as yours, Doctor. Same writing on it. Same... everything."
"Don't be ridiculous," he sad in a serious tone, thinking that she was joking.
"I asked him. He said he's had it all his life," Martha explained.
"So he's got the same watch," Jack said, not knowing what was important about the watch.
"Yeah, but it's not a watch," Martha told Jack "It's this chameleon thing."
Chameleon Arch," Rose corrects "Jack it's the device that rewrites gallifreyan biology and changes them into a human," Rose explained "It was somehow used on me after I regenerated for the first time."
"And it's the same watch," Martha insisted.
"It can't be," the Doctor said and an alarm blares and Rose tries to fix it.
"That means he could be a Time Lord," Jack said "You both might not be the last ones."
"Jack, keep it level!" The Doctor said.
"But that's brilliant, isn't it?" Martha asked the Doctor.
"Yes, it is," he answered "Course it is. Depends which one. Brilliant, fantastic, yeah. But they died, the Time Lords. All of them, they died, except for you," he said looking at Rose.
"I wasn't even in the Time War," Rose told them.
"Not if he was human," Jack said .
"What did he say, Martha?" the Doctor asked, invading her space, "What did he say?" He then yells.
"He looked at the watch like he could hardly see it. Like that perception filter thing," Martha answered as she gasps.
"What about now? Can he see it now, Martha?" Rose asked.
"If he escaped the Time War then it's the perfect place to hide," suggests "The end of the universe."
"Think of what the Face of Boe said. His dying words. He said..." Martha told them and the Doctor launches the rocket and the Doctor and Rose can tell that Yana has opened his watch as they remembers the Face of Boe's words and makes the connection of the words "You are not alone" and the name Yana by excluding the word 'both' and realizes that the face of boe was talking about Koschei.
"Lieutenant, have you achieved velocity?" The Doctor said as he phones Atillo "Have you done it? Lieutenant! Have you done it?"
"Affirmative. We'll see you and your Wife at Utopia," Atillo replied
"Good luck," the Doctor replied as he hangs up the phone and runs from the control room and Rose, Martha and Jack follow.
One of the main doors suddenly closes and locks before the Doctor gets there and the Doctor takes his sonic screwdriver out while Jack tries the keypad.
"Get it open! Get it open!" The Doctor yells and soon the door opens and they went through the door and as they ran down the halls, the Doctor, Rose, Jack and Martha ran into the Futurekind, forcing them to backtrack and the Futurekind chase after the Doctor, Rose Martha and Jack through the corridors.
Jack stops at an intersecting hallway "This way!"
The Doctor, Rose Martha and Jack soon arrived at the lab door, which was locked and Jack works on the keypad as the Doctor looks through the window.
"Professor!" He yells "Professor, let me in! Let me in!" He said as he pounds on the window "Jack, get the door open, now!" He said as he uses his sonic screwdriver at the top of the lab door.
"Professor! Professor, where are you?! Professor! Professor, are you there?! Please, I need to explain! Whatever you do, don't open that watch!"
"They're coming!" Martha and Rose yells panicking
"Professor!" He yells again "Open the door, please! I'm begging you, Professor! Please! Listen to me! Open the door, please!"
Suddenly Jack then hits the keypad with the butt of his revolver and the door opens.
The Doctor rushes inside followed by Rose and stops, facing Yana.
The Doctor moves forward but Yana backs into the Tardis and locks it.
Martha notices that Chantho was on the floor and the Doctor tries his key but Yana flicks a switch so a key won't work. He then heads up to the console.
The Doctor pulls out the sonic screwdriver. Inside, Yana presses a button on the console to prevent that from working as well "And locked."
"Let me in! Let me in!" The Doctor said as he pounds on the Tardis.
She's dead," Martha said as she checks Chantho's pulse
JACK (at the door): "I've broken the lock! Give me a hand!" Jack said at the door.
"I'm begging you! Everything's changed! It's only the three of us! We're the only ones left!
Martha goes to help Jack at the door.
"Just let me and Rose in!" The Doctor demanded.
"Killed by an insect! A girl! How inappropriate," Yana muttered "Still, if the Doctor and Arkytior can both be young and strong, then so can I. The Master... reborn."
The Master stands in front of the console, head and arms flung back, and his regeneration starts as bright golden lights pours out from his neck and arms. He screams.
Outside, the Tardis the Doctor and Rose both saw light from inside the Tardis and they heard the Master screaming and the Futurekind arrive at the door and Martha and Jack try to hold them back as the door isn't fully closed.
"Doctor! Rose! One of you better think of something!" Jack yells.
Inside the TARDIS, a younger Master, with Brown hair and looks to be in his early 30s, wakes up next to the Doctor's hand, that he brought inside the Tardis and he He stands up slowly, amazed.
"Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha!" The Master laughs as he runs arouns the console "Ha, ha, ha!" and turns on the speaker. "Doctor... and Arkytior ooh, new voice," he said.
"Hello," he said in a low pitched voice then high pitched and then he said it in a normal voice.
"Anyway, why don't we stop and have a nice little chat while I tell you all my plans and you can work out a way to stop me? I don't think!"
"Hold on! I know that voice!" Martha exclaims as she recognized the voice coming from the Tardis and the Futurekind Chieftain reaches an arm through the door.
"I'm asking you really properly! Just stop! Just think!" The Doctor said.
"Use my name, Doctor."
"Master. I'm sorry," the Doctor said
"Tough!" The Master shot at him and he starts the controls and Rose took out her sonic screwdriver and holds it out and activates it.
"I can't hold out much longer, Doctor! Rose!" Jack screams and the Tardis console sparks from what Rose did with her screwdriver.
"Oh, no you don't!" The Master exclaims and he gets control column moving again "End of the universe. Have fun. Bye bye!" He told the other Gallifreyans as he waves his hand inside the Tardis and then he slams his hand on the dematerialisation control
"Doctor, Rose, one of you stop him!" Martha yells as she and Jack fight off the Futurekind while both the Doctor and Rose can only watch as the Tardis dematerialises.
To be continued...
Please review and tell me if I'm making Rose sound like well... Rose. Because I don't know how to write her properly. And I still need a Beta-reader.
