Doomsday: Crossfire

The Doctor was pressed up against the white expanse of wall in the parallel Torchwood, his eyes closed in concentration, seeming as though he were trying to press himself back through it as Pete stood behind him, "When you left this world, you warned us there'd be more Cybermen," Pete said, "So we sealed them inside the factories."

"Except people argued," Jake added as the Doctor stepped back, staring at the wall, keeping his back to the men, he could feel it inside him, that rage that came with others trying to keep him from Angel, if he looked at them now...he'd lash out. And they had the buttons that could get him back to her, "Said they were living. We should HELP them."

"And the debate went on. But all that time, the Cybermen made plans. Infiltrated this version of Torchwood, mapped themselves onto your world, and then vanished."

"When was this?" the Doctor asked, turning and heading to the window, trying to keep his hands unclenched but they just kept forming into fists, the skin of his scarred knuckles stretching, making the white scars stand out.

"Three years ago."

"It's taken them three years to cross the Void, but you can pop to and fro in a second. Must be the sheer mass of five million Cybermen crossing all at once."

"Yeah, Mickey said you'd rattle off that sort of stuff."

"Oh, where is the Mickey-boy?" he looked around.

Mickey, he needed Mickey.

Well, he never thought he'd ever feel THAT way before.

But Mickey would understand, Mickey would support him, Mickey would help him get back to Angel. He had to, as Angel's companion, he knew Mickey would do all he could to help her even if it meant defying his new team. Mickey had grown into a remarkable man in the short time he'd spent travelling with them, and he knew Angel had a large hand in that. He'd seen the relationship blooming between the two, a strong, solid friendship. He knew Mickey would do anything to help Angel, to protect her, and she must be feeling the strain of the Mating connection being pulled so far across parallel worlds. He was just barely keeping himself together, barely remaining standing, remaining focused. And Angel...she'd always been more sensitive to things like that, her feelings and all.

He needed her, terribly.

And, he supposed, perhaps that was why he needed Mickey around. He needed something of Angel there, something of hers, and Mickey was HER companion, the closest he could get to the woman at this point.

He could feel himself starting to shake. God he just wanted to get back to her and these humans were standing in his way. He closed his eyes, trying to will back the dark thoughts that were being directed at the humans.

"He went ahead first," Pete nodded, "Any chance to see Angel again, to go and find Miss Rose Tyler."

"She's your daughter," the Doctor mumbled, his eyes squeezed tightly shut as he stood at the window.

"She's not mine. She's the child of a dead man," he looked out at a peaceful world through the window, "Look at it. A world of peace. They're calling this 'The Golden Age.'"

The Doctor scoffed, feeling like he was anything but peaceful right now, "Who's President now?"

"A woman called Harriet Jones."

The Doctor let out a breath, "Keep an eye on her."

"But it's a lie. Temperatures have risen by two degrees in the past six months. The ice caps are melting. They're saying all this is gonna be flooded. That's not just global warming, is it?"

"No."

"It's the breach."

"I've been trying to tell you," the Doctor turned to them, irritated, his eyes flashing dangerously, these humans just kept talking, he needed to get back to Angel, now, and they were just babbling on and on, not seeming to notice his responses getting shorter and shorter. Right now he needed them to shut up, give him one of the buttons, and let him return to his own world before his frantic hearts gave out, "Travel between parallel worlds is impossible. The Daleks broke down the walls with the Sphere..."

"Daleks?"

"Then Cybermen travelled across. Now you lot, those disks, every time you jump from one reality to another, you rip a hole in the Universe. This planet is starting to boil. Keep going and BOTH worlds will fall into the Void!"

He was getting angry now. The more he thought about what was happening, the more he realized just how much danger Angel was in, trapped in the real world, without him. Here, things were calm enough. But Angel...she was trapped in an institute designed to battle and study aliens, surrounded by Cybermen, the enemy that had killed her mother, held hostage by Daleks, their worst enemies, helpless in a world that was an inch away from being sucked into Hell.

And it was all these humans' fault!

One more word, one more idiotic statement, and he'd...

"But you can stop it, the famous Doctor and his Mate..." Pete smirked, not seeming to notice the man's growing ire, "You can seal the breach?"

The Doctor turned a dark look on him, breathing heavily at the implication of what that would mean, "Leaving five million Cybermen stranded on my Earth? With ANGEL?!"

"That's your problem. I'm protecting this world, and this world only."

The Doctor suddenly reached out and grabbed Pete by the lapels of his suit, spinning him to the side, making him stumble, as he shoved them man against the wall, his teeth bared, "And what about MY world?" he nearly spat, furious, "What about Angel? You would have me condemn her, my MATE, for you?" he shook his head, his grip on the man tightening, "You listen to me Pete Tyler, and you listen very carefully, I will NEVER put Angel in that situation. I will NEVER choose another over her. She is more important to me than you could ever begin to imagine. If you want this world saved, you will send me back to my world, to Angel, and THEN we'll talk about saving BOTH worlds."

Pete swallowed hard, "Jake," he called, "Give him a teleport."

The Doctor shoved Pete back as he stepped away, holding a hand out to Jake, not taking his eyes off Pete even as the man straightened his jacket, trying to seem like he wasn't affected by the dark threat in the Doctor's voice and eyes.

"So you'll help us?" Jake asked hesitantly, completely startled by the force the Doctor had shown.

The Doctor took a breath, just a bit calmer now that he had a way to get back to Angel securely in his hand, "Fighting the fight," he muttered, "As Mickey chose to do. Angel was so proud of him for choosing this world. I will not see it destroyed either," he decided, anything dear to Angel was worth protecting. Though, thinking on that, Rose was important to her as well, and a version of Rose's father was still alive here. He looked at Pete, "There is a chance...back on my world...Jackie Tyler might still be alive."

"My wife died," Pete stated.

"Her husband died."

"There's more important things at stake."

"Yes," he nodded, looking at the button, "There is. We need to close the breach, stop the Cybermen, defeat the Daleks, rescue Angel, in reverse order."

Jake whistled but nodded, "We can do it."

Pete agreed, "We've seen you and Angel do incredible things Doctor."

The Doctor gave a small smile at the mention of Angel, clutching the button, he'd waited long enough to get back to her, "That's all I need, Angel," he nodded, "Time to go!" he pressed the button.

~8~

"Not again!" Angel groaned, grabbing her head, though the pain was far less...well, still terrible in her mind, but her hearts were singing...as she felt the stirrings of the Mating bond with the Doctor snap back into place, if a tiny bit stronger from the separation than before, "Oh thank God…" she breathed, rubbing her hearts, feeling his presence as a Time Lord there again. She still couldn't hear his mind in hers, the Sphere still active, but she could feel that he was back, he'd come back, he was safe and alive and that was all she needed to know.

~8~

The Doctor took a deep breath as they appeared back in the Torchwood Rift Room, he closed his eyes, allowing himself a brief smile as he felt the pull on his soul at the return of his sensation of Angel, "I'm coming," he promised her under his breath, placing a hand on his chest a moment, before the relief at feeling her once more faded and the Mating instinct reminded him that the feeling wasn't enough, not while she was in danger, he needed to be WITH her.

"First of all," his eyes snapped open and he dashed to the phone, "I need to get in contact..."

"You two, guard to door," Jake ordered two guards as Pete watched the Doctor type a number in.

"Help me!" Jackie picked up, "Oh, my God, help me."

"Jackie, you're alive!" the Doctor shouted, actually feeling a little relieved at that fact, he knew Angel liked Jackie and if anything had happened to the woman who was like a psuedo-mother to her she'd be devastated, "Listen…" he tried to shush her but she just screeched at him.

"They tried to download me but I ran away!"

"Listen, tell me, where are you?"

"I don't know! Staircase."

"Yeah, which one? Is there any…any sort of sign? Anything to identify it?"

"Yes! A fire extinguisher!"

"Yeah, that helps..."

"Oh, wait a minute, it says 'N3.'"

"North corner, staircase 3. Just keep low, we're trying our best."

"No, don't leave me!"

"I've gotta go, I'm sorry," he put the phone down, ending the call, and turned around to Pete, "Jacqueline Andrea Suzette Tyler."

"She's not my wife," Pete argued.

"I was at the wedding," the Doctor grinned, eyeing him, "You got her name wrong," he tsked before getting back on point and turned, pulling Jake's gun from him, "Now then, Jake-y boy, if I can open up the bonding chamber on this thing, it could work on polycarbide."

"What's polycarbide?" Jake shook his head.

He smiled darkly, "Skin of a Dalek."

~8~

A white sheet of A4 paper attached to a stick waved out around the corner of a hallway, swaying comically as the Doctor tried surrendering. He popped out a moment later and looked at the Cybermen down the hall, "Sorry," he called as they looked at him, "No white flag. I only had a sheet of A4. Same difference."

"Do you surrender?" the Cybermen turned and raised a fist, ready to fire should his answer be 'no.'

"I surrender," the Doctor nodded, marching down the hall to meet them, "Unto you," he smirked, "A very good idea."

~8~

The third Dalek backed away from the Genesis Ark, "Final stage of awakening."

The first one spun around to face Angel, "The Time Lady's handprint will open the Ark."

"No," Angel shook her head, trying to buy them time. For what, she had no idea, but she knew something was coming, no...she knew the Doctor was coming, she just needed more time. She didn't have to be a precog to know it. The Doctor had proven he would always come for her, he would always save her, no matter what, no matter the odds, he would find her again. He was coming, of that she was sure, she just had to hold off a little longer, just till he could get there.

"Obey or the humans will die," it ordered, spinning its laser arm at the three behind her.

Angel sighed, knowing they'd found her weakness, realized the true value of the humans she'd insisted on them keeping alive, "I can't let them hurt you…" she whispered, walking towards the Ark.

"Angel don't!" Mickey shouted, trying to move forward to stop him but the second Dalek wheeled forward, its laswer arm aimed at him till he put his hands up in surrender.

"Place your hand upon the casket," the first Dalek ordered, its eyestalk having spun to watch her carefully, they did not trust the Time Lords to any degree.

"I know!" Angel yelled at it, rubbing her head, trying to think of some way to get them all out of this.

"Angel, please," Rose breathed, terrified of what could be in the Ark, of what could be so important that the Daleks felt it had to be protected at any cost.

"You can't let them open that thing," Rajesh tried as well.

"I can't let them hurt you either," Angel shook her head, taking a breath, and reaching out a hand to the Ark...

Rose quickly stepped forward, before Angel, pulling her back, "You sure you want HER to open it?" she asked the Daleks.

"Rose what are you doing?"

"No idea," she admitted quietly, before turning to the Daleks, "If you um...escaped the Time War...don't you want to know what happened?"

"Place your hand…" the first Dalek turned to Angel, ignoring Rose.

"What happened to the Emperor!" Rose shouted.

The Daleks were silent a moment, before the first one turned away from Angel and to Rose, "The Emperor survived?"

Rose smirked, "'Til he met Angel...she met the Emperor. And she took the Time Vortex and poured it into his head and turned him into stone, him and his entire fleet. Do you get that? The God of all Daleks...and she destroyed him," she started laughing.

"Then she will be EXTERMINATED!" the first Dalek shouted, pointing its laser at Angel as Rose's laughter died.

Angel gasped, staring in wide eyed horror as the Dalek's laser powered up…

"Do that and you won't like what happens next," a voice called, the threat and promise clear. They turned to see the Doctor standing in the doorway of the Sphere Chamber, his hands in his pockets, 3D specs on, looking for all the world as though he hadn't a care in the world, but those who knew him could see the stiffness in his stance, the the near predatory focus he had on the Daleks, the power radiating off him.

"Alert, alert, you are the Doctor!" the first Dalek cried.

The Doctor just strode into the room and over to Angel, his attention now shifted to her, pulling her into his arms and hugging her tightly, smiling as he finally heard her in his mind once more now that he was in the Sphere Chamber as well. He pulled her closer still, burying his nose in her hair, taking in her scent, basking in the feel of her arms moving around him, feeling her pressed against him, whole and solid and safe. His hearts finally started to slow, his muscles relaxing, able to breathe again.

He pulled away, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear, his fingers gently stroking her cheek as he smiled at her, gazing softly upon her, drinking in her image, feeling like he hadn't seen her in years. And, you know what, she always seemed more beautiful each and every time he looked upon her. And that sparkle in her eyes, that relieved smile, that positively happy expression on her face at seeing him again...his hearts melted.

"Sensors report he is unarmed," Dalek Thay stated, having scanned the Doctor.

"That's me," the Doctor glanced over at the Daleks, "Always."

"Then you are powerless!" the first Dalek said.

"Not me," he shook his head, taking off his specs, "Never," he looked over at Rose, wrapping an arm around Angel's waist, "How are you?"

"Oh, same old, you know," she grinned.

"Good! And Mickity-McMickey!" he bashed his fist with Mickey's, "Nice to see ya!"

"And you, boss," Mickey smiled, relieved to see him, but not because the man probably had some trick up his sleeve that would save them, but because he knew how worried Angel had been for her Mate, to have him back beside her...he could already see her cheering.

"Rajesh," the Doctor greeted, just a bit cooler than the others, eyeing the Torchwood staff member.

"Doctor," Rajesh mumbled, feeling incredibly guilty for what was happening, the Sphere had been HIS project, much like the Ghost Shift had been Yvonne's, and the Daleks had been hiding in it. He felt responsible for that nightmare being released, given Angel's reaction, small snippets he'd gathered from what she said, the Daleks were terrible enemies of the Time Lords.

"Social interaction will cease!" the second Dalek shouted.

"How did you survive the Time War?" the first Dalek turned to the Doctor.

"By fighting," the Doctor replied, "On the front line. I was there at the fall of Arcadia. Someday I might even come to terms with that."

"Really?" Angel looked up at him, "I was there too."

He laughed at that, "Well look at that," he smiled, dropping a kiss onto her head, knowing that had truly been a terrible battle, before turning to the Daleks, "But you lot ran away!"

"We had to survive," the first Dalek replied.

"The last four Daleks in existence. So what's so special about YOU?"

"Doctor, they've got names," Rose told him quietly, "Angel said something like a...Cult of Skaro?"

"I am Dalek Thay," Thay introduced as the other three followed suit.

"Dalek Sec."

"Dalek Jast."

"Dalek Caan."

"Oh!" the Doctor eyed them, "The Cult of Skaro. I thought you were just a legend."

"Me too," Angel remarked, shifting uncomfortably, they were the worst of the worst in terms of Daleks, truly...just...monsters.

"Who are they?" Rajesh shook his head, Angel hadn't really said, hadn't really wanted to say they'd all gathered.

"A secret order," the Doctor replied, "Above and beyond the Emperor himself. Their job was to imagine. Think as the enemy thinks. Even dared to have names," he shook his head, looking at them distastefully, "All to find new ways of killing."

"But that thing, they said it was yours," Mickey gestured to the Ark, "I mean, Time Lords. They built it. What does it do?"

"I don't know. Never seen it before."

"Me either," Angel agreed.

"But it's...Time Lord," Rajesh frowned, not sure how the aliens could not know what was in something that came from their home planet.

"Both sides had secrets," Angel shrugged.

"What is it?" the Doctor turned to the Daleks, "What have you done?"

"Time Lord science will restore Dalek supremacy," Sec replied.

"What does that mean? What sort of Time Lord science? What do you mean?"

"Rose said one touch from a time traveler will wake it up," Rajesh mumbled.

"Technology using the one thing a Dalek can't do," the Doctor looked at the metaltron aliens, moving over, keeping Angel behind him and out of their line of vision and fire, to lean and look straight into their eyestalk, "Touch. Sealed inside your casing. Not feeling anything...ever...from birth to death, locked inside a cold metal cage," he dropped his volume to a whisper, a dark quality entering his voice, "Completely alone. And that explains your voice. No wonder you scream."

Angel reached out and took the Doctor's hand, sensing more than just a desire to scare them a little.

"The Doctor will open the Ark!" Sec shouted.

The Doctor let out a contemptuous laugh, "The Doctor will not. You threatened my Mate, you're lucky to still be alive right now," by the time he had finished speaking, he was no longer joking, not at all.

"You have no way of resisting," Sec stated, though he had wheeled back some at the threat.

"Well...you got me there. Although...there is always this," he held up the sonic.

"A sonic probe?"

"That's 'screwdriver.'"

"It is harmless!"

"Oh yes. Harmless is just the word. That's why I like it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you what it does do, it is VERY good at opening doors," he turned the sonic on and immediately the doors to the Sphere Chamber exploded inwards. Jake and his men, along with a few Cybers, leapt into the room, firing at the Daleks.

"Delete!" the Cybermen cried, "Delete! Delete! Delete!"

"Alert!" Caan shouted as he was struck by Jake's upgraded weapon, "Casing impact, casing impact!"

The Doctor and Angel rushed for the door, Angel pulling him this way and that to avoid the blasts, "Rose, Mickey, get out!" Angel shouted as Rose made for the door, only to stumble.

"Fire power insufficient!" Sec reported, "Fire power insufficient!"

Suddenly Rose was helped to her feet by Pete. She was surprised, seeing him there, but obviously they had little time for that. He pulled her off and ran for the door as Mickey picked up a fallen gun and started firing away at the Daleks, more than capable of holding his own now, of facing down an enemy trying to hurt the people he cared about, of taking a stand.

"Daleks will be deleted," the Cybers called, "Delete! Delete!"

The Doctor and Angel reached out, helping Rose and Pete to the door, "Mickey, come on!" Rose cried.

"Adapt to weaponry!" Thay ordered.

"Fire power restored!" Sec shouted and the Daleks started firing at the Cybers, able to destroy them now.

Rajesh managed to reach the doors, Jake covering him as he backed out with the man, but Mickey, losing his footing, fell and touched the Ark. He dashed to the door.

"Cybermen primary target."

Mickey stumbled out into the hallway, looking at his hand when another set of pale hands took his own in theirs. He looked up to see Angel looking at it, and he realized, she knew, her feelings must have been back now that they were out of the Sphere's field, she knew what happened, what he'd done.

"I'm sorry," he breathed as the rest of Jake's men slipped through the doors, closing them and sealing the Daleks and Cybers inside.

~8~

"Jake, check the stairwell," the Doctor called as they ran down the hall, "Rajesh find a way out! The rest of you, come on!"

~8~

The Daleks finished off the last two Cybermen in the room when the Ark suddenly started pouring out steam, "Cybermen have been exterminated," Sec cheered, "Daleks are supreme."

"The Genesis Ark is primed," Jast remarked.

"The Ark needs area of thirteen square miles," Sec replied, "Move!"

The Ark glided across the floor, the Daleks surrounding it.

"Genesis Ark mobile!" Jast reported.

~8~

"I just fell, I didn't mean it!" Mickey explained to the Doctor what had happened with the Ark.

"Mickey, without us, they'd have opened it by force," the Doctor told him, "To do that, they'd have blown up the sun. You've done us a favor!" he kissed the top of Mickey's head, "Now, run!"

"This way!" Angel shouted, taking the lead down a corridor.

"No, the other way," the Doctor nodded towards the stairs beside them.

"Doctor," Angel stopped, turning to him, "Trust me, we NEED to go this way."

He looked at her a moment longer when he heard it, '…No, but you can't! Please…' Jackie was whimpering, pleading with someone in her mind, the small blip of the future having hit her in all the chaos of escaping the Sphere Chamber before. He nodded, rushing to take her hand as they took off.

~8~

Jackie hurried down the stairs, coming to an abrupt halt as the Cybermen approached from the bottom. She ran back up and out of the stairwell, starting down a corridor, only to come face-to-face with two Cybermen, "You will be upgraded," the Cyberman stated.

"No, but you can't!" Jackie whimpered, "Please…"

Suddenly the Cybers were shot from behind, falling to the ground, dead, to reveal Pete aiming a gun behind them. The Doctor, Rose, Mickey, and Angel standing behind him.

She squinted through the smoke clouding him till she saw, "Pete!" she gasped, seeing him clearly.

"Hello, Jacks," Pete greeted.

"I said there were ghosts, but that's not fair. Why him?"

"I'm not a ghost."

"But you're dead. You died twenty years ago, Pete."

"It's Pete from a different Universe," the Doctor stepped forward, "There are parallel worlds, Jackie. Every single decision we make creates a parallel existence, a different dimension where…"

"Oh, you can shut up," Jackie waved him off. The Doctor stepped back in between Angel and Mickey as Jackie's attention returned to Pete, "Oh...you look old."

"You don't," Pete smiled.

"How can you be standing there?"

"Just got lucky...lived my life. You were left on your own. You didn't marry again, or..."

"There was never anyone else. Twenty years, though. Look at me, I never left that flat. Did nothing with myself."

"Brought HER up," he glanced at Rose, "Rose Tyler. That's not bad."

"Yeah."

"In my world, it worked. All those daft little plans of mine. They worked. Made me rich."

"I don't care about that…how rich?"

"Very."

"I don't care about that…how very?"

Pete laughed, "Thing is though, Jacks, you're...you're not my wife. I'm sorry, but you're not. I mean, we both..." Jackie nodded, looking at him staring at her, both of them fighting it, "You know, it's just sort of..." he sighed, giving in and tossing the gun down, "Oh, come here," they ran towards each other, meeting in the middle as Jackie started to cry, Pete sweeping her off her feet in a huge hug.

Angel stepped beside Rose, putting an arm around her shoulders, resting her head to the side of Rose's as the girl watched her parents reunite. Rose looked at her a moment later, "Did you know this would happen?"

Angel just smiled, "I had a feeling."

Rose laughed, turning to hug her tightly.

~8~

The Daleks burst through the doors of the factory floor to see a row for Cybermen, "Exterminate!" Sec called.

"Delete!" the Cybermen replied.

The two opposing sides fired at each other, the Cybermen's rays bouncing off the Dalek's armor while the Dalek's exterminator beams did the job. Cries of 'Delete' and 'Exterminate' filled the air along with shouts from the leftover soldiers trying to take out both sides.

Until the Cyberman call went out, "Emergency, all units will converge on the Torchwood Tower."

~8~

All the Cybermen in the streets marched out onto the road as one and turned in the direction of Canary Warf hearing the cry, "Repeat, all Cybermen to Torchwood."

The frightened families crept outside their houses, watching the Cybermen leave.

~8~

The Doctor opened the door to the battle between the Cybers and Daleks taking place on the factory floor, to peer through them, waiting for the right moment to enter. He dove into the fray as Angel and Rose watched anxiously. He managed to dodge the lasers and make his way over to the Magnaclamps, pulling them back and using them to deflect the rays as he backed out, tripping over a Cyberman's body.

"Come on, please," Rose whispered as Angel reached out and grabbed her hand, both of them worried for him.

The Doctor quickly got to his feet and slipped through the door to safety. Rose closed the door after him while he handed the clamps to Angel. He turned and peered through the door once more, this time with the 3D specs on.

"Override roof mechanism," Sec called and the roof began to open slowly, "El-ev-ate."

"What're they doing?" Rose eyed them, "Why'd they need to get outside?!"

"Time Lord science…WHAT Time Lord science?" the Doctor shook his head, baffled, pulling off his specs and looking at Angel, who looked just as confused, "What is it?" they watched as Sec elevated through the ceiling and into the open air before slamming the door shut, "We've gotta see what it's doing, we've gotta go back up! Come on! All of you! Top floor!"

They ran down the hall as Jackie shouted, "That's 45 floors up! Believe me, I've done 'em all."

"We could always take the lift..." Jake called, popping his head out of the lift as they ran past.

~8~

Sec rose into the air of Canary Wharf, "The Genesis Ark will open!"

And, slowly, the Ark did just that, to reveal a Dalek inside as it began to spin around.

~8~

The Doctor and Angel with the rest finally stepped out of the lift on the top floor, rushing to Yvonne's office as Angel dumped the clamps on her desk. They stared out the window as the Ark spun, shooting Dalek after Dalek out of it.

"Time Lord science..." Angel breathed, "It's bigger on the inside."

"Did Time Lords put those Daleks in there?" Mickey asked, looking at the two of them, "What for?"

"It's a prison ship," the Doctor realized.

"How many Daleks?" Rose asked.

"Millions."

~8~

Cybermen marched through the street as the Daleks flew about, all stopping as one and firing up into the air at them, having no effect at all.

"Exterminate all life forms below!" Sec ordered, "Ex-ter-min-ate!"

The Daleks fired at the Cybers, the people running for cover.

~8~

"I'm sorry, but you've had it," Pete strode away from the window, "This world's gonna crash and burn. There's nothing we can do. We're going home. Jacks, take this," he gave her one of the yellow buttons.

"But they're destroying the City!" Jackie called.

Pete turned to her again, affectionate, "I'd forgotten you could argue," he looped the button around her neck himself, "It's not just London, it's the whole world," he cupped her face in his hands, "But there's another world, just waiting for you, Jacks. And it's safe. As long as the Doctor and Angel close the breach. Doctor?"

The Doctor spun around from the window, wearing the 3D specs and a large grin, "Oh, we are ready!" he cheered, taking Angel's hand, "We've got the equipment right here. Thank you, Torchwood!" he pulled her over to computer, silently instructing her on the programs that needed to be run and checked, "Slam it down and close off both Universes."

"Reboot systems," the computer called as Angel got to work on it.

"But we can't just leave," Rose shook her head, "What about the Daleks? And the Cybermen?"

The Doctor stood and looked at her, "They're part of the problem. And THAT makes them part of the solution. Oh yes!" Rose laughed, "Well?! Isn't anyone gonna ask?" he pointed at his eyes, at his 3D specs, "What is it with the glasses?"

"What is it with the glasses?" Angel asked, though already knowing why he was wearing them.

"I can SEE!" he cried as he turned to Rose to explain quickly, "That's what! 'Cos we've got two separate worlds, but in between the two separate worlds, we've got the Void. That's where the Daleks were hiding. And the Cybermen travelled through the Void to get here! And you lot, one world to another, via the Void! Oh, I like that. Via the Void! Look!" he pressed the glasses onto Rose's nose, "I've been through it. Do you see?" he moved around so Rose could see the floating green particles around him.

"Reboot in three minutes."

"What is it?" Rose asked, laughing as she reached out, trying to touch them.

"Void stuff," he replied.

"Like um...background radiation!"

"That's it," the Doctor nodded, turning her around, "Look at the others," Rose looked over to see Jake, Mickey, Jackie, Pete, and Angel standing there, Jackie the only one not surrounded by the material, "The only one who hasn't been through the Void...your mother. First time she's looked normal in her life."

"Oi!" Jackie glared.

The Doctor dashed over to the white wall, looking at it, as Angel slowly started to frown, stepping forward slowly, away from the computer, as Rose followed after the Doctor.

"The Daleks lived inside the Void," the Doctor continued, "They're bristling with it. Cybermen, all of them. I just open the Void, end of verse. The Void stuff gets sucked back inside."

"PULLING them all in!" Rose cheered enthusiastically.

"Pulling them all in!"

"Sorry...what's...what's the Void?" Mickey called.

"The dead space," Angel explained, her gaze locked on the wall once more, "Though some people call it 'Hell.'"

"So...you're sending the Daleks and Cybermen to Hell," Mickey smiled, putting a button over his neck before glancing at Jake, "Man, I told you they were good."

A/N: OMG...1(!) chapter left! Oh boy, I'm actually really sad that this story is going to be over! But at least we get another story to follow :)

Some notes on reviews...

The 9th Doctor and AU Professor from Rewritten for the 3 Doctors...that's an interesting idea, I hadn't even thought about that so thanks! :) Hmm...I'll have to look at my outline and see if that might work. It would give us nothing but fluff and Doctors in relationships. Hmmm...

And yup, this is my longest story with the most chapters...so far! Series 7 though...that one will be a doozy. So far, about 70(!) chapters! No idea how many words that one will be :)

I was a little sad with how much they didn't mention the 9th and 10th Doctor adventures with 11 too. But I think they sort of tried to generally speak of older adventures, like Classic Who. They should have mentioned the Oncoming Storm way more times than they did, like with the Dream Lord or meeting Craig's football team, since it was such a big part of his personality. I can guarantee though, MY stories with 11 will definitely have tons of mentions of the past with 9 and 10 :)

The Doctor's room...I REALLY wanted to know what was in that room too! Grrr...writers! (or, -shakes fist- Barrowman! lol). I wrote two stories where we saw the Doctor being afraid of himself and afraid of Evy/Sigma dying...I can say this...the Doctor's reaction to his room (which we'll see into) for this saga will be...unlike any reaction I've writen for him yet.

As for the goodbye scene, well...I suppose we'll find out next :) Don't want to spoil that too much but, I can say that, with Angel being a precog, something that didn't happen in the episode might just happen in this story :)
