But my grip on Donna's hand loosened.

"Scarlett!" My sister screamed, trying to reach out for me. It was no use and I fell to the ground. In the process, my head hit the floor, knocking me out completely.

I didn't stay knocked out for long and when I finally came to, there was absolutely chaos inside of the TARDIS. Sparks flying, glass smashing…

There was smoke in the air, making me unable to see anything. I could hear Donna and it sounded like she was choking because of the smoke.

"Donna!" I choked out, beginning to choke on the smoke as well as I tried to crawl in the direction of the sound of my sister. I managed to find her, on her hands and knees, beside the console.

"Scarlett…" Donna managed to say in relief as I grabbed a hold of her.

"I'm here…I'm here…" I told her reassuringly when she gripped me tightly.

My sister was coughing and panting, but then it suddenly stopped as her eyes glanced in a different direction. I followed her gaze to the Doctor's hand in the glass jar, which was glowing bright orange, shining in our faces. Out of nowhere, Donna shoved me out of the way.

My eyes widened at her action, but before I could even say anything, she reached out and touched the jar, the orange energy engulfing her.

"Donna!" I exclaimed as she gasped, shaking violently. The jar smashed, sending glass flying. "DONNA!"

The destruction continued around us, but my sister seemed immune by it for whatever reason. What the hell was going on?!

I could see the energy leave her, to the hand twitching on the grilling, which somehow had gotten over next to me. Unknown to me, in the process of the energy going into the hand, some of it went inside me.

I scurried over to Donna before kneeling beside my sister and we both watched as the energy spread outwards from the hand into the shape of a man. When the shape was fully formed, it sat up suddenly and the energy disappeared from it, only to reveal the Doctor, stark naked. I gasped shocked. Not the fact that he was naked, though it had a little bit to do with it, but because there was another Doctor.

"It's you!" Donna exclaimed, amazed.

"Oh, yes." The New Doctor said.

She looked down, then quickly looked up, realizing he was naked. "You're naked!"

"Oh, yes."

Donna glanced at me. "I bet you like that!"

I flushed a bright red. "Donna!"

The New Doctor grinned widely at the comment, for whatever reason. "Oh really?"

"Oh shut up, Sky-Guy!" I huffed at him, the nickname slipping out, causing his grin to widen.

The TARDIS continued to smash around us.

From his position on the floor, the New Doctor pressed a button on the console with gritted teeth and wide eyes. Once he managed to get the TARDIS under control, he started to leave the console room.

"Where are you going?" I demanded, confused.

"Wardrobe room! Need a new suit!" The New Doctor exclaimed cheerfully, disappearing from the room.

I huffed. God, this Doctor was just as frustrating as my Doctor. Calling him that stuck in my mind, however I kept it back.

He finally returned, wearing blue trousers and a burgundy top. It was a different look…I liked it though. I was checking him out, I knew and so did Donna, but that was because I wasn't bothering trying to hide it. Not from my sister, who already knew of my feelings.

The New Doctor went to stand on the railings, mending the TARDIS by the doors. It didn't take that long, just a few minutes. The New Doctor jumped off and pulled on his blue jacket.

"All repaired!" He grinned, turning towards the two of us. "Lovely. Shh!" He put a finger up. "No-one knows we're here. Gotta keep quiet. Silent running, like on submarines when they can't even drop a spanner." His voice lowered in a whisper as if he was telling a secret. "Don't drop a spanner." Then it rose again, a cheerful tone in his voice as he fixed his jacket. "I like blue, what do you think?"

"You – are – bonkers!" Donna yelled, sounding frustrated.

The New Doctor looked applaud. "Why?! What's wrong with blue?"

My sister looked highly disturbed by this whole situation. I knew I should have been too, but for whatever reason I wasn't.

"Is that what Time Lords do? Lop a bit off, grow another one? You're like worms!"

The New Doctor shook his head. "No, no, no, no, no, I'm unique! Never been another like me! Because all that regeneration energy went into the hand – look at my hand, I love that hand." He grinned as he wiggled his fingers and gave me a wink, seeing me staring at him. I rose my eyebrows at that. "But then you touched it – WHAM!" He exclaimed and Donna jumped out of her skin. "Shh…instantaneous biological metacrisis. I grew…out of you. Still, could be worse."

"Oi, watch it spaceman!" Donna glared at him.

"Oi! Watch it, earth girl." He sounded just like Donna. "Oh!" He stared at Donna and she stared right back at him, their mouths in identical o shapes. I stifled a laugh. Oh wow! "I sound just like you! I sound all…sort of, rough."

"Oi!"

"Oi!"

"Oi!"

I couldn't help but just watch, finding this whole thing amusing.

"Spanners, shh!" The New Doctor shushed her.

My sister buttoned up, lips pursed.

"Must've picked up a bit of your voice, that's all." He frowned. "Is it? Did I? No. Oh!" His eyes widened as he began feeling his chest. "You are kidding me, no WAY. One heart…" His hands landed on either side of his chest. "I've got one heart! This body…has got only one heart!"

This had me look taken back. "What? Are you sure?" I went up to him, close up to him. My hand went to his chest and I could have sworn I felt him shiver at my touch. Sure enough, he only had one heart. "Wow…so I guess your human…"

The New Doctor made a face. "Oh, that's disgusting!" I smacked his chest in response. "Ouch." He pouted.

"Oi!" Donna said in response to the New Doctor.

"Oi!" He copied her again.

"Stop it!" my sister exclaimed crossly.

"No, wait, I'm…part Time Lord, part human…" The New Doctor looked over at Donna, lips pursed. "Well, isn't that wizard?"

"I kept hearing that noise…that heartbeat…" Donna said slowly. Oh…so that's what she thought she was hearing.

He nodded. "Oh, that was me. My single heart." He went over to the console, waving his hands dismissively. "'Cos I'm a – complicated event in time and space, must've rippled back. Converging on you."

"But why me?"

"Because you're special."

Donna looked exasperated. "Oh, I keep telling you: I'm not!"

"No, but you are, you…" The New Doctor looked at her, as if he just realized that she actually believed that. "Oh…you really don't believe that, do you?" He gestured to his head. "I can see, Donna…what you're thinking. All that attitude…all that lip, 'cos all this time…you think you're not worth it…"

"Stop it."

"Shouting at the world 'cos no one's listening. Well…why would they?"

My sister was beginning to get upset. "Doctor…stop it…"

The Doctor stared at her with a gentle eyes and a proud look on his face. "But look at what you did…no. It's more that, it's like…we were always heading for this…you came to the TARDIS. And you found me again. Your grandad. Your car!" His eyes widened in realization. "Donna, your car! You parked your car right where the TARDIS was gonna land, there's not a coincidence at all!" He spun on the spot, fingers on his temples. "We've been blind! Something's been drawing us together for such a long time."

Donna looked breathless. "But you're talking like…destiny. But there's no such thing…is there?"

The New Doctor held onto his head, probing his mind. "It's still not finished. It's like the pattern's not complete. The strands are still joining together. But heading for what?"


The entire TARDIS shuddered. Once it steadied, the New Doctor looked at the monitor.

"What happened?" I asked, peering over his shoulder as I practically leaned against his back.

"It's the planets." He said as he glanced back at me, our faces close. I forced myself not to blush. "The twenty-seven planets." He looked back at the screen, resting his chin on his hand as he tried to work out what was going on. "Single-stream Z-Neutrino into…" He faltered as he realized something… "No. No way…"

The glow emanating from the planet brightened on the monitor. Just as soon as the glow started, it disappeared.

"What is it?" Donna questioned, but he didn't answer. "Doctor? What did it do?"

The New Doctor looked like he had no words, staring at the monitor in shock.

It took a little while for him to snap out of it. When he did, he was rushing around the TARDIS, putting together some sort of device.

"What are you making?" I inquired as me and my sister watched him rush around.

"It's our only hope. A Z-Neutrino biological inversion catalyser."

"Yeah. Earth girls here, remember?" Donna pointed out.

The New Doctor screwed in parts of the device. "Davros said he built those Daleks out of himself. His genetic code runs through the entire race. If I can use this to lock the Crucible's transmission onto Davros himself…"

"It destroys the Daleks?" Donna guessed.

He grinned at us. "Biggest backfire in history." He finally finished with the device and his grin widened. "Ready! Maximum power!" He kicked a lever upwards with his foot while he pulled on another one.

The TARDIS titled sideways, causing me and Donna to hold onto the console to keep from falling with it.

The noise of the TARDIS materializing filled the air. I grinned to myself. Didn't think I would ever hear that again.

Seeing my grin, the New Doctor grinned back, his eyes all on me, like I was the only thing in the world. I let him take a hold of my hand as he pushed open the door with the other.

Despite of the bright light framing me and the new Doctor, I could see my Doctor and the rest of the group, shocked to see us.

"Brilliant." Jack awed, impressed.

The new Doctor let go of my hand, rushing forward.

"Don't!" My Doctor cried out in a panic.

It was too late and Davros pointed at him, electricity flying from his finger and hit the new Doctor in the chest, sending him flying to the ground. Seeing this happen once again, I cried out in horror and ran over to him.

"Doctor!" I tried to help him up, seeing my Doctor staring at me in relief from the corner of my eye.

"Mum!" Ginny exclaimed happily with tears in her eyes, from her holding cell.

"Activate holding cell." Davros demanded.

With that, a holding cell sprung up around the two of us. It didn't leave that enough space for both of us as we stood up. I felt an arm wrap around my waist, pulling me close. I glanced up at the new Doctor. I wanted to ask if he was okay, but he didn't give me time to as he kissed my cheek and I gasped in surprise.

"I'm alright." He whispered against my skin.

Before I could say anything, I heard Donna cry out, "Doctor!"

She ran towards me and the Doctor, picking up the device the new Doctor had dropped. "I've got it! But I don't know what to do!"

I just knew what was going to happen. "Donna, no!" I screeched. I didn't even have time to blink when Davros sent her flying backwards with the same electricity.

My sister fell into a heap at the opposite end of the Vault. If it wasn't for the holding cell, I would be over there in an instant, but since I was in there, I couldn't do anything. I could only stand there in horror.

"No…" I whispered and I turned, burying my face in the new Doctor's chest.

"Donna!" I could hear my Doctor cry out. "Are you alright?! Donna!"

"Destroy the weapon!"

A Dalek fired a death ray at the device and it exploded right before our very eyes.

"I was wrong about your warriors, Doctor. They are pathetic." Davros spat.

"How comes there're two of you?!" Rose exclaimed to my Doctor, looking a bit peeved that there was something else she didn't know.

"Human biological metacrisis." My Doctor waved her off. "Nevermind that, now we've got no way of stopping the Reality Bomb."

"Detonation in twenty rels. Nineteen…"

Davros grinned. "Stand witness, Time Lord. Stand witness, Humans." He activated the holographic screen, displaying the twenty-seven planets. His voice was mocking as he said, "Your strategies have failed, your weapons are useless, and…oh – the end of the universe is to come."

We watched the screen, breathing heavily in dreadful anticipation, utterly powerless.

"Nine…eight…seven…six…"

I held onto the new Doctor, sharing glances with everyone around me. When my gaze landed on my Doctor, I kept the eye contact, trying to show how I felt just by looking at him. He kept up the contact too as he mouthed, his brown eyes emotional.

'I'm sorry…'

I said nothing as the Supreme Dalek continued the countdown.

"Five…four…three…two…one…"

But nothing happened, except for the bomb powering down and the screen went dead…

An alarm sounded, causing confusion within the group.

Suddenly, there was Donna's voice. She was alive!

Donna sounded different, though. There was a confidence in her voice that I had never heard before.

"Oh…closing all Z-Neutrino replay loops using an internalized synchronous back-feed reversal loop!" My sister grinned, flicking a switch. "That button there!"

"System shutdown!"

"Detonation negative!"

"Explain! Explain! EXPLAIN!"

My Doctor looked completely bemused. "Donna, you can't even change a plug!"

He was right about that. My sister wasn't mechanic at all.

Donna's grin widened immensely. "Do you wanna bet, Time Boy?!"

"You will suffer for this!" Davros threatened.

She cocked her head to one side as if she didn't think so, somehow. She flicked a switch, electrocuting Davros' arm. He shrieked in pain.

"Oh…! Bioelectric dampening field with a retrogress arc inversion." Donna smirked.

"Exterminate her!" Davros yelled furiously.

"Exterminate! Exterminate!"

I gazed at my sister worriedly. Donna didn't look worried at all, though. She merely pressed a few buttons and flicked a few switches…

And the Daleks powered down, their blaster-guns twitched uncontrollably.

"Weapons non-functional!"

Donna smirked again. "What? Macrotransmission of a K-filter wavelength, blocking Dalek weaponry in a self-replicating energy blind fold matric." She sounded so much like the Doctor, it was uncanny.

"How did you work that out?" My Doctor asked, amazed. "You…"

"Time Lord." The new Doctor was amazed too. "Part Time Lord."

My eyes widened.

"Part Human! Oh yes!" Donna laughed loudly, absolutely loving this. "That was a two-way biological meta-crisis. Half Doctor…half Donna!"

I gasped, realizing. "The Doctor-Donna."

My Doctor realized the same thing as I did. "Just like the Ood said, remember? The Doctor-Donna."

Donna smiled. "Holding cells deactivated." She flicked at few switches on the control panel and the cells disappeared, releasing us. "And seal the Vault. Well, don't just stand there, you skinny boys in suits – get to work!"

Both of the Doctors rushed over to join my sister at the control panel. Since I was free, I ran to Ginny and threw my arms around her to hug her. It was a short hug, but it was good enough.

"Stop them!" Davros screeched. "Get them away from the controls!"

With that, the Daleks advanced. They didn't get that far.

"And…spin."

They spun around in circles, all the while exclaiming, "Help me! Help me!"

Jack chuckled as all the Daleks spun around on the spot uncontrollably.

"And the other way!"

Donna pressed a button and turned a dial – and they spun the other way, their upper and lower halves facing in different directions.

"What did you do?" The New Doctor asked.

"Trip-stitch circuit-breaker in the psycho-kinetic threshold manipulator." Donna explained.

The New Doctor beamed. "But that's brilliant!

"Why did we never think of that?" My Doctor said to the new one.

Donna shook her head with a grin. Because you two... were just Time Lords!" She informed them. "You dumbos. Lacking that little bit of Human, that gut instinct that goes hand-in-hand with planet Earth. I could think of ideas that you two couldn't dream of in a million years! Ah, the universe has been waiting for me! Now... let's send that trip-stitch all over the ship. Did I ever tell you…?" She gestured to herself. "Best temp in Chiswick." Then she wiggled her fingers, giving me a wink and I smiled, remembering that I had been the first to call her that and I was happy she finally agreed with it. "A hundred words per minute!"

"Ha!" The New Doctor laughed

The Daleks rolled around uncontrollably. "System malfunction—"

"Motor causing interference—"

"What is happening? Explain!"

His Daleks spun around in small circles, screeching, and Jack darted into the TARDIS.

Donna nudged each of them in the sides with her elbows. "Come on then, boys, we've got twenty-seven planets to send home. Activate magnetron."

"Stop it at once!" Davros exclaimed.

Jack emerged from the TARDIS with his and Rose's guns. "Mickey!" He chucked a gun to Mickey and he easily caught it.

"You will desist!"

Mickey halted Davros, gun pointed in his face. "Just stay where you are, Mr."

"Out of the way!" Jack called out. He kicked a Dalek out of the way and between me and Ginny, we pushed the Dalek while Rose and Sarah Jane pushed another one.

"Good to see you!"

"You too!"

The Dalek was sent flying off, babbling to itself, and it thudded into the opposite. Martha pushed another Dalek right beside me and Ginny. I grinned at Martha and she grinned right back at me.

"Ready?" Donna asked the Doctors and they nodded. "And reverse!" They eased out two rods on the controls.

The planets disappeared in flashes of light, one by one.

"Off you go, Clom."

"Back home, Adipose Three!"

Donna flicked two switches with her hands, one with her foot. "Shallacatop! Pyrovillia! The Lost Moon of Poosh. Topping. Ha!"

"Ha!"

The planets continued to disappear.

"We need more power." My Doctor muttered as we all gathered around the two Doctors and Donna.

"Is anyone gonna tell us what's going on?" Rose asked, crossing her arms.

Donna gestured to my Doctor. "He poured all his regeneration energy into his spare hand, I touched the hand." She then gestured to the new Doctor, who grinned. "He grew out of that, but that fed back onto me. But, it stayed dormant in my head 'till the synapses got that little extra spark, kicking them into life."

"Oh!" I said. "When Davros shot at you."

My sister nodded. "Yeah." She flashed a grin over to said person. "Thank you Davros!" She smiled proudly. "Part Human…Part Time Lord. And I got the best bit of the Doctor." The new Doctor raised his eyebrows. "I got his mind."

"So there's THREE of you?" Sarah Jane asked.

"Three Doctors?"

"I can't tell you what I'm thinking right now." Jack said distractedly.

I stifled a laugh while Ginny shook her head.

"Jaaack."

He snapped out of it at the sound of Ginny's voice and he laughed. "Sorry, sweetheart."

My daughter just rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. They were so seeing each other.

"But you promised me, Dalek Caan." Davros glared at him. "How did you not for see this?"

Dalek Caan giggled.

"Oh, I think he did." My Doctor told Davros. "Something's been manipulating the timelines for ages…getting Donna Noble to the right place at the right time."

"This would have always happened." Dalek Caan said and he probably would have shrugged if he had shoulders. "I only helped."

"You…betrayed the Daleks."

"I SAW the Daleks. What we have done throughout time and space. I saw the truth of us, Creator, and I decreed, 'no more.'"

"I will descend to the Vault!" The Supreme Dalek exclaimed.

"Heads up!"

The Supreme Dalek descended. "Davros, you have betrayed us."

"It was Dalek Caan!"

"The Vault will be purged! You will all be exterminated!" He sent a death ray towards the central column, causing sparks to fly.

"Like I was saying, feel this!" Jack used his gun to blast the Supreme Dalek in half.

My Doctor examined the central column. "Oh, we've lost the magnetron! And there's only one planet left oh…" He laughed at how typical this was. "Guess which one. Look, we can use the TARDIS!" He ran into the TARDIS.

The new Doctor flicked switches. "Holding Earth stability... maintaining atmospheric shell."

"The prophesy must complete." Dalek Caan said.

"Don't listen to him." Davros demanded.

"I have seen the end of everything Dalek, and you must make it happen, Doctor."

The new Doctor was caught by his words. "He's right. Because with or without a Reality Bomb, this Dalek Empire's big enough to slaughter the cosmos." Donna looked uneasy by what he was saying and I was too. My Doctor wouldn't be thinking this. "They've got to be stopped!"

"Just – just wait for the Doctor." Donna said hurriedly.

The new Doctor simply looked at her, steel in his eyes. "I am the Doctor." He got to work on doing whatever he was thinking of doing. "Maximizing Dalekanium power feeds. Blasting them BACK!"

The Daleks exploded, one by one, screaming. The air was thick with exploding, shrieking Daleks, making us unable to see anything.

The Doctor steps out of the TARDIS, seeing the chaos. "What've you done?!" He exclaimed horrified.

"Fulfilling the prophesy."

The Dalek ships exploded into nothingness.

Everyone inside of the Vault was sent flying around – the new Doctor observed with a wild expression in his eyes. It was frightening to see.

"Do you know what you've done?" My Doctor growled furiously. "Now, get into the TARDIS." He immediately listened. "Everyone! All of you inside, run! In, in, in, in, in!"

We all ran into the TARDIS.

The new Doctor ushered us inside. "Sarah Jane! Rose! Jackie! Jack! Mickey! Ginny! Scarlett! Blimey, so many people!"

The Doctor squinted through the fire. "Davros?" he said urgently as he held out his hand. "Come with me! I promise I can save you!"

"Never forget, Doctor – YOU did this! I name YOU, forever, YOU are the Destroyer of Worlds!" Davros screamed as he was engulfed by flames.

"One will still die!" Dalek Caan giggled madly.

The Doctor turned back to the TARDIS and ran into the unusually crowded console room. "And! Off we go!" He pulled a lever and the time machine shuddered as it started. We all fall about, hanging onto the console for support.

The new Doctor grinned at Sarah Jane and she grinned back.

"But what about the Earth?" Sarah Jane questioned. "It's stuck in the wrong side of space!"

"I'm on it!"

With that, we contacted Torchwood and managed to get the Earth back, once again. We whooped and cheered, happy to have our Earth back in place. Everyone hugged happily.

I threw myself at the Doctor, my Doctor. It felt natural calling him this, in my head at least. "I knew you could do it!" I told him, grinning. He grinned right back and hugged me tightly. Then I surprised him by giving him a kiss on the cheek. I pulled back, staring into his eyes. "You were brilliant too."

He smiled down at me warmly.


With everything back to normal, we – the Doctor, Donna, and I – took everyone home. Ginny ended up leaving with Jack, but she promised she would see us again. I asked how she knew for certain. In response, she just winked at me, saying, 'Spoilers.'

Rose was sent home last because she couldn't stay here. I felt bad for the Doctor, having to let her go again. He actually didn't look upset about having to leave her. As for the new Doctor, he stayed with Rose. After finishing with that, we returned to the TARDIS...


TBC...

In...

The emotional end to a Journey's End...

Sorry got a little lazy there at the end, lol, but I decided to mean and let the saddest part be the ending of this episode...

It shouldn't be long until I post it...as I already have it halfway done...

Anyway...please review.
