"Naiyah!" the Warrior shouted as he ran through war-torn Arcadia, desperately looking for the Time Lady.
"Doctor…" he heard a voice faintly call. He followed it only to stop horrified seeing his best friend lying there, battered and bloodied.
"Naiyah!" the Warrior exclaimed rushing over to her, the Time Lady crying out in pain as he took her in his arms.
"Y-you came back…" Naiyah whispered.
The Warrior nodded "Yeah I did. I came back for you", he said. His face turned into one of worry when she coughed blood. "How many…?"
"None", Niayah answered, fighting to keep her eyes open. She was just so tired.
"Stay with me, Niayah", the Warrior urged "I'm going to save you". There was no way he was going to let her die now. No way! He came back to save her and that's what he was going to do.
"Don't", Naiyah said, confusing the Warrior. Why didn't she want him to save her.
"Naiyah…" he started when she cut in with
"I don't want you to save me"
"You saved me so many times", the Warrior said, trying to hold back the tears "let me save you just this once".
"You can't. This is it for me", Naiyah told him "end of my story". The look in her eyes told him that she'd had a 'feeling' about this moment. She knew that she was going to die here and now.
"I can't go on without you", the Warrior admitted.
"Yes you can" Naiyah reached up, touching his face "just promise me something".
"Anything", the Warrior vowed.
"Never be cruel or cowardly. Never give up, never give in. Always be the Doctor never the Warrior", Naiyah said.
The Warrior nodded "I promise"
Naiyah gave him a small smile before she removed her locket with shaking hands "take it", she said "please". The Warrior took the locket and carefully put it in his pocket. "I love you", she murmured before her eyes fluttered shut.
"I love you too", the Warrior said quietly, tears rolling down his face. He held the Time Lady as he cried, mourning her. No more… he thought. She was going to be the last casualty of this war.
