"Cardiff." The Doctor announced, "Jack, get the orange/golden switch, no! Not that one! You'll destroy the planet. The switch next to it, yeah, that one." Jack switched it nervously.

"Let's hope he didn't get confused between them. They really shouldn't be the same colour."

"We've landed. Are you ready to go Jack?"

"No, they are not gonna be happy..."

"Yep. Come on then. Sirius you wanna come for a walk boy?" Jack asked, Sirius barked, which Jack took as yes and held the door for Sirius to go through. Jack took a deep breath and left through the TARDIS, Rose and the Doctor followed him. "We'll have to go the long way round. Right there," Jack nodded to where the TARDIS was, "That's where the TARDIS landed before, which I think gave it a perception filter. We use it as a lift; no one see's when we go through it."

"Does the TARDIS do that wherever it lands?" Rose asked.

"I don't think so," The Doctor answered, shaking his heads. "I think it'll also have something to do with the Rift and opening up the engines for the rift energy to seep into the TARDIS."

"Ah," Rose nodded, accepting the answer, "So, where's do we go?" she asked Jack. It was only a short walk but they soon made it to a harbour, Rose looked across to the water, "Is it under the sea?"

Jack chuckled, "Nah, I wouldn't wanna get soaking wet every time I go to or from work. It's through here." Rose looked up at the shop Jack was gesturing to a few feet away.

"Tourist Information Centre." the Doctor read out as they neared.

"Yeah, funnily enough we don't get many tourist, Ianto deals with them if we do though." Jack explained opening the door, a man was sitting down writing on something on the desk, he looked up to see who entered the shop and gasped.

"Jack. You're back."

"And you're a poet and don't know it." The Doctor grinned; he walked forward and took Ianto's hand, "You must be Ianto right?"

"Uh yeah..." Ianto looked towards Jack.

"Ianto, this is the Doctor and Rose and our Dog Sirius." Rose looked Ianto up and down; he was good looking, looked quite good in a suit. "Can we go through?"

"Uh, yeah sure." Ianto reached down and Rose guessed he pressed a button hidden under the desk because the wall next to the desk that was filled with information leaflets slide to the side revealing a dark creepy looking corridor. All stone walls, not a decoration in sight, Rose and the Doctor followed Ianto and Jack down it. Rose glance towards the Doctor and he looked indifferent.

"How can he be so calm...it's Torchwood, I...maybe we should go back to the TARDIS...no, I wanna meet his team first."

"You alright?" the Doctor whispered to Rose when he realized she was looking at him.

"Yeah, it's just...this place is so strange, I trust Jack an all, but I just hate the thought of Torchwood. It just makes me think of Mum...I'm not gonna see her again...I wouldn't change it; I love it here with you. I love you, but I still miss Mum."

The Doctor took her hand, "I can't believe I'm saying it, but...I miss Jackie as well, although she's terrifying."

Rose smirked, "The Tyler slap...it's passed down you know."

"Did I saw terrifying? I meant-" He stopped as Jack and Ianto walked into a lift, they quickly squeezed in. The lift was quite big; at least 6 or 7 people could fit, without Sirius, Rose estimated. Sirius had grown a lot and was now the size of a small Great Dane. They finally made it to the bottom without talking, and Jack led them through another corridor, which ended with a huge cork like door with rolled away as Jack and Ianto reached it, and behind that was a yellow gate which opened once the rolling door shut.

"Torchwood." Jack announced. Rose looked around, it was amazing, the room was absolutely huge, the water tower came all the way down and was in the middle of the room, and next to it was a small stream with a bridge over it.

"Wow, this is big, not as big as my TARDIS mind you, but nice."

Three different people were around the room, all looking in their direction. A man in a white laboratory coat, two women, one of them Asian, kinda looking, black shoulder length hair, the other woman had black long hair she looked angry when she saw Jack.

"Hello, kids. You miss me?" Jack announced. He looked around, "Did you re-decorate in here?" Rose glanced down as Sirius walked off, smelling the floor, he walked into the stream and drunk some, then lay down and let the water wash over him. Rose and Jack watched in amusement, Jack didn't say anything so Rose assumed it must be safe.

"Jack?" The Asian woman asked, unsure she had a London accent.

"Hello." Jack waved to the group.

"Where did you go?" The other man asked, his accent was strong, Londoner.

"I found my Doctor."

"When did I become yours?" The Doctor voiced. All the team looked at his as if they hadn't noticed the Doctor or Rose enter. "Hold on, is that...?" the Doctor murmured stepping towards a desk which the Asian woman was sitting at. He picked up a large grey rock. "What is this?" he asked her.

"Who are you?" the she replied.

"Oh, introductions!" Jack proclaimed, "This is the Doctor and Rose. Doctor, Rose, this is Toshiko Sato,"

"Call me Tosh." The Asian told them smiling.

"Gwen Copper," he pointed to the girl in the leather Jacket. "Dr Owen Harper," the man in the Dr Coat waved, "And you've met Ianto Jones."

"Nice to meet you." The Doctor smiled distractedly and looked back at Tosh, "What is it?"

"I've been running test, all I can get it that it's growing, changing..." The Doctor pulled his sonic screwdriver out and ran it over the piece of rock.

"What is it Doctor?" Jack asked concern in his voice.

"That's a TARDIS."

"How can it be a TARDIS?" Jack asked.

"TARDIS' are grown not built." The Doctor explained picking up the rock and looking at it at all angles, "Well the TARDIS is this rock, the Timelords used to...well hard to explain, can I have it?"

Tosh looked glanced over the Doctor's shoulder at Jack who was still standing with Rose, Jack nodded smiling. "All yours." Tosh smiled. The Doctor smiled in thanks to her.

"I can grow a new TARDIS...I love my sexy thing, but a new one would be perfect for spare parts and anything I'll need..."

"How long does she take to grow?" Jack asked.

"100 years, but, if I take her to the TARDIS, she'll grow faster in there, 50 years at the most. I'm gonna take her now, Rose, you alright here?"

"I'll come back with you." Rose told him. "I'll see you later Jack?" Rose looked at Jack, who nodded, "Sirius?" Rose called; the Clabro glanced up at her and laid his head back down. "Oh be like that. Don't forget him Jack."

"Never could." Jack smiled and watched as Rose and the Doctor walked out.

They didn't talk; the Doctor just studied the TARDIS rock from every angle he could. They made it back to the TARDIS and the Doctor set to work immediately. He pushed the carpet away and opened a crate on the floor; he slid down into the floor and pulled a treasure chest out placing it by Rose's feet. "Rose, find the Lyraumaic, should be in there." He waved at the treasure chest.

"What does it look like?"

"Um...Like a large glass bottle but shaped more like a pencil and has no lid. Hollow." Rose opened the chest and dug through, there was the crystal ball, still holding the Carronites scratching and screaming to be let go. She put careful on the floor, not wanting it to be broken open, a Cyberman arm, broken.

"Ah. Here." He passed the Doctor the Lyraumaic. "Anything else you need?"

"Sandwich?" the Doctor called back up. Rose rolled her eyes, "Chicken Mayo would be the best thanks."

"Coming up Doctor."

"You're the best!"

"Love you too!" Rose shouted as she walked through the corridor and into the kitchen. She hummed Lion King, He Lives In You. She closed the sandwich and cut it in half diagonally and put it on a plate, walking happily back towards the control room. Just to be annoying, Rose took a huge bite out the Doctors sandwich before passing it down.

"Oi! You took a bite."

"Glad your eyes work Doctor." Rose muttered sarcastically as she sat down on the captains seat and listened to the Doctor working, he was mumbling to himself as he worked, telling himself what to do, what worked with what, and what would destroy the universe.

"Great...glad he thinks he knows what he's doing..."

After half an hour the Doctor climbed out holding the rock in his hand, "We can leave him there to grow."

"Him?" Rose asked, "How do you know?"

"Female and male TARDIS' send of different pulse's." The Doctor explained as he placed the TARDIS rock down and put the Lyraumaic next to it.

"Won't it move around when this TARDIS jerks us around?"

"Nah, it's already grown into the floor," Rose looked over and saw the rock seemed to have sprouted little arms that connected with one of the poles, and the Lyraumaic was connected also with more arms. "It'll come undone when he's ready to be used though." Rose shook her head in wonder as the TARDIS dinged at them, "Ah, engines full, better close that up. Put stuff in the chest again please and then into the crate and close it up please Rose." Rose did as she was told, but before she could put the carpet back over the grate the TARDIS jerked. "Doctor?" she shouted at him, he was at the controls pressing some buttons and looked baffled.

"It's not me! I didn't do anything!"

"Jack's gonna think we're abandoning him again! We're not, sorry Jack! We'll be back."

"What's happening then?"

"We're going into the future. Far into the future...the year 5000, 50,000, 500,000, 100 Trillion!" The Doctor was reading off the screen, "...We're going to the end of the universe." After a few moments of the Doctor jumping around, ordering Rose to push buttons to turn leavers, the TARDIS landed with a final shudder.

"Where are we?" Rose asked, looking towards the door.

"I don't know...not even Timelord came this far..." the Doctor admitted. "We should leave, we should go...we should really, really...go..." the Doctor sounded completely serious.

"If the Doctor's serious about going then it must be bad..."

"This is...we should go out there...but what's out there, it can't hurt to look can it?"

Finally deciding, the Doctor flashed a huge grin at Rose, she immediately knew he wasn't gonna leave before exploring they ran to the door, the Doctor pulled his coat on as they left. "Jack!" Rose exclaimed loudly, he was on the floor barely a foot from the TARDIS. Both Rose and the Doctor ran to him and crouched down.

"Jack?" the Doctor whispered softly. "He must have being clinging to the outside of the TARDIS. Not wanted me to abandon him again." Rose couldn't help noticing the Doctor sounded bitter about his choices.

The ex time agent gasped awake, it took him a moment before he could focus on the relieved faces of Rose and the Doctor, "You tried to leave me?" He wasn't sure whether he was asking or telling.

"He tried to leave me, again, after he promised he wouldn't...he promised but he lied, and Rose...?" Jack couldn't shake the hurt away.

"No." The Doctor shook his head, Jack wanted to believe him but couldn't. The Doctor stood and held out a hand for Jack to take, but Jack ignored the hand and stood up on his own.

"You alright?" Rose asked concerned.

"Yeah, travelling on the outside of a TARDIS through the Time Vortex, wouldn't recommend it." Jack shook the dizziness away, "If you weren't trying to leave me, what happened?"

"I don't know." The Doctor admitted, "But we're at the end of the Universe. You have to believe me Jack, I'm not gonna leave you again?" the Doctor looked the man right in the eyes and Jack nodded.

"I believe you."

"Thank you. Now, fancy a walk?" The Doctor held out his hand for Rose to take, and Rose held out her other hand for Jack to take.

"So, how'd we end up at the end of the universe?" Jack asked.

"Haven't got a clue, I shut the engines 'cause the TARDIS was full on rift energy, then she went mad, and I guess you grabbing hold of her didn't help, flying all the way out here to shake you off." The Doctor explained, "How would you like it if someone grabbed hold of the back off you and wouldn't let go? Actually Jack...don't answer that..." The Doctor grimaced as Jack smirked.

"Where's Sirius?" Rose asked suddenly.

"Well, I explained to my teams what's gonna happen, that I'm travelling with you two, but I'll visit as often as I can. Then packed my stuff," he gestured to the large travel case on his back, "Then the CCTV showed the TARDIS about to leave, so told everyone to look after Sirius. We'll be back as soon as we can and left." Jack explained.

"So he'll be alright?" the Doctor asked, he's grown fond of Sirius even though he barely showed it.

"Course, Ianto's a huge dog lover, he'll look after Sirius." Rose and the Doctor nodded, satisfied.

"What's that?" Rose asked, stopping in her tracks, she looked down a huge gaping hole. Inside was fantastic, it had what looked like bridges, and walk ways, going into smaller holes in the wall, house's Rose assumed. It looked like it should be filled with people or aliens buzzing about. But it was empty, not a soul in sight, "Is that a city or something?" Rose asked,

"Hive maybe, or a nest or a conglomeration." The Doctor said, "Most grown but...I think it's been built in. Walk ways or...roads? Must have been some sort of life..."

"How'd they die?" Jack asked, "A large disease or something do you think?"

The Doctor shook his end, "End of the universe, Time. Time killed it, all the great civilisations have gone by now. This isn't just night, all the suns and stars have burnt up and faded away."

"Everything has it's time and everything dies..." Rose remembered Sarah-Jane saying that when she met her.

"Exactly." The Doctor nodded.

"There must be an atmospheric shell, we'll...well you two would be frozen to death..." Jack murmured.

"Do you think anyone survived by this time?" Rose asked.

"Well, He's not doing too badly." Jack pointed just down the hill to a man that was running, away from them, away from the city. A few meters behind was at least 50 people growling and following him, holding torches high above their own heads.

"That's a hunt!" the Doctor exclaimed, without wasting another seconds he rushed off towards the man.

They reached the man, it was too dark to see him properly, but he looked scared, "I've got you!" Jack shouted, grabbing hold of him.

"They're coming!" the man shouted wiggling out of Jacks grip into the Doctors, Jack pulled his gun out and pointed it towards the sky, he fired off a few shots causing the hunters to stop, they looked savage, all crouching low, glaring. "We can't stop, there's more. We've got to keep going!" the man shouted.

"I've got a ship nearby its safe. It's not far, it's over there." He looked back up the hill they had run down as more hunters ran towards the growling, hold torches.

"We're close to the silo, if we get to the silo then we're safe!" the man shouted.

"Silo?" the Doctor asked.

"Silo." Rose and Jack agreed simultaneously and they ran once more, this time following the man. As they rounded a corner they came upon a huge building, dome shaped. But before they could reach the building a light shined on them and a gate was in their way.

A guard on the other side of the gate shouted at them to "Show me your teeth!" All four of them grinned large toothy grins. "Human! Let 'em in! Let 'em in!" The gates opened just enough for the four of them to squeeze it, "Close the gate!" Soon as they were through the gate closed behind them, but not completely, the guard shot down at the floor, at the hunters' feet causing them all to stop.

One at the front, he looked human, but with Red and black face paint and wearing clothes hanging around them, "Humans." He growled, not sounding very human, "Human. My feast!"

"Go back to where you came from." The guard demanded pointing his gun at the leader.

The leader of the pack crouched slightly and pointed at Rose, "I want you, and you and you!" he pointed at all the men around and some of the pack behind the leader growled and clenched their jaws like a wolf would. "I'm hungry. Arg!" he gestured for the pack to move away.
