Thanks to Lyanna Potter, Theresa5155 for following/faving my story.
NicoleR85: thanks!
One of the Daleks rounded on Jenna "You know the Doctor. You understand him. You will predict his actions"
"Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you", Jenna said.
"Predict! Predict! Predict!" the Dalek demanded sounding hysterical.
"No", she said firmly.
"TARDIS detected in flight", a second Dalek said.
"Launch missiles! Exterminate!"
Jenna clutched the gold locket at those words, hoping that the next words she heard wasn't the TARDIS is destroyed. She smiled when she heard the sound of the TARDIS. Her smile grew wider when she saw the faint outline of the blue box slowly appearing around her. Unfortunately she wasn't the only one the TARDIS materialised around, it appeared around the Dalek that was right next to her.
"Jenna, get down!" the Doctor shouted at her. Jenna immediately dropped to the grilled floor.
"Exterminate!" the Dalek shouted firing its laser. It completely misses which enables Jack to take it out with the modified Defabricator.
The Doctor hugged Jenna tightly when she got to her feet "I told you I'd come and get you", he said.
"Yes you did", she said smiling at him.
"You alright?" he asked her.
"I am now", she replied.
"Hey, don't I get a hug?" Jack asked with a mock pout.
"Of course you do", Jenna said going over and hugged him. "Where's Rose?" she asked seeing that the blonde wasn't there.
"She's waiting for us on floor 500", the Doctor replied.
Jenna frowned "Floor 500?" she asked "You mean we were on Satellite 5?"
"Yep", the Doctor replied. "Shall we go meet the neighbours then?" without waiting for a reply, the Doctor left the TARDIS. Jenna ran after him knowing that he would be shot on sight. She was surprised when the Dalek rays were stopped by a force field that surrounded the blue box.
The Doctor took several steps forward while Jack and Jenna hung back "Do you know what they call me in the ancient legends of the Dalek Homeworld? The Oncoming Storm. You might've removed all your emotions…but I reckon right down deep in your DNA, there's one little spark left, and that's fear" the Dalek's eye stalks twitch nervously "Doesn't it just burn when you face me? So tell me. How did you survive the Time War?"
"They survived through me"
The Doctor turned towards the voice and was startled when Dalek Emperor was illuminated, towering above all of them. "Jenna… Captain…this is the Emperor of the Daleks", the Doctor said staring at the Emperor in awe.
"You destroyed us, Doctor. The Dalek race died in your inferno, but my ship survived, falling through time, crippled but alive"
"I get it", the Doctor said.
"Do not interrupt!"
"Do not interrupt!"
"Do not interrupt!"
"I think you're forgetting on very crucial thing" Jenna said as she walked forward to stand next to the Doctor "He's the Doctor and if there is one thing I know he can do for certain, is talk. He knows…"
"5 billion languages", the Doctor told her quietly.
"5 billion languages", Jenna repeated loudly "and you don't have a single way of stopping him. So if anyone is going to shut up, it's you!"
The Doctor grinned when the Daleks rolled back slightly from her words. "Okey doke. So, where were we?" the Doctor asked turning back to the Emperor.
"We waited here in the dark space, damaged but rebuilding. Centuries passed, and we quietly infiltrated the systems of Earth, harvesting the waste of humanity. The prisoners, the refugees, the dispossessed. They all came to us. The bodies were filtered, pulped, sifted. The seed of the human race is perverted. Only one cell in a billion was fit to be nurtured"
"So you created an army of Daleks out of the dead", the Doctor stated.
"That makes them half human", Jack said.
"Those words are blasphemy", the Emperor declared.
"Do not blaspheme"
"Do not blaspheme"
"Do not blaspheme"
"Everything human has been purged. I cultivated pure and blessed Dalek"
"Since when did the Daleks have a concept of blasphemy?" Jenna asked.
"I reached into the dirt and made new life. I am the God of all Daleks!"
"Worship him! Worship him! Worship him!"
"They're insane! Hiding in silence for hundreds of years, that's enough to drive anyone mad", the Doctor said quietly to Jenna and Jack. He looked at the Daleks with pity as he walked forward "But it's worse than that. Driven mad by your own flesh. The stink of humanity" the Doctor shook his head "You hate your own existence. And that makes them more deadly than ever. We're going"
The Doctor turned around and went back to where Jenna and Jack stood. He took the girl's hand and walked back to the TARDIS looking back at the Dalek Emperor once.
The moment Jenna stepped out of the TARDIS she was almost knocked off her feet when Rose hugged her. "I'm ok Rose. I'm ok", she assured her as the blonde broke down in tears. While Jenna consoled her best friend, the Doctor had everyone else turning everything up to stop the Daleks transmatting on board.
"I thought I'd lost you to the Dalek's again", Rose sobbed. Jenna pulled back to look at her tear stained face.
"Well you haven't. Van Statten's Dalek didn't get me and neither did those Dalek's on that ship", Jenna said wiping her tears away "I'm not going anywhere Rose and that's a promise" she stepped back and held up her hand. Rose smiled and held up her hand. The two girls did their secret handshake that they invented when they were little.
The girls looked over when the Doctor started ripping wires out of the desks. "Dalek plan. Big mistake, because what have they left me with? Anyone? Anyone?" the Doctor looked at them all expecting someone to answer him. "Oh, come on, it's obvious. A great big transmitter, this station"
Jack stared at him trying to work it out "If I can change the signal, fold it back, sequence it, anyone?"
"You've got to be kidding", he said finally figuring it out.
"Give the man a medal!" the Doctor cheered.
"A Delta Wave?" Jack said incredulous.
"A Delta Wave!" the Doctor said rather excitedly.
"What's a Delta Wave?" Rose asked.
"A wave of Van Cassadyne energy. It fries your brain. Stand in the way of a Delta Wave and your head gets barbequed", Jack explained.
"And this place can transmit a massive wave. Wipe out the Daleks!" the Doctor added.
"Well, get started and do it then", Lynda said interrupting whatever Rose was going to say.
"Trouble is, wave this size, building this big, brain as clever as mine, should take about, ooh, 3 days?" the Doctor said quickly working it out "How long till the Fleet arrive?"
"Twenty two minutes", Pavale replied.
"Doctor could I talk to you?" Jenna asked. She didn't wait for an answer before walking away "you need use the TARDIS to send Rose home", she said when the Doctor joined her.
"Why?" the Doctor asked.
"I have a feeling that no one is going to survive this", she replied.
"How sure are you?" the Doctor questioned.
"Very", Jenna answered "Doctor, I just want Rose safe. She's my best friend".
The Doctor nodded "it's half a good idea", he said.
Jenna frowned "half?"
"Yes. If Rose is going to be sent home, so are you", the Doctor told her.
"But Doc…" Jenna started when the Time Lord cut in
"Please don't argue with me. I want you safe too, Jenna. How do I send you both home?" Jenna glanced at Rose who was standing next to Jack. She looked back at the Doctor and told him how. "Thank you", the Doctor said kissing her forehead.
He knew it was difficult for her to tell him especially when he wanted to send her home too. He hung back while Jenna went over to Rose. The Doctor watched her say something to the blonde before Jenna took her over to the TARDIS and opened the door. He followed them in. "What are you doing Jenna?" he asked, knowing to play along.
"I don't know, just a feeling I've got", she calmly replied giving him a smile "right Rose I need you to hold this lever down and keep position", Jenna instructed.
"What's it do?" Rose asked pulling the lever down and the violet eyed girl shrugged.
"It cancels out the buffers", the Doctor answered for her. Jenna went over to another lever and pulled it. She gave the Doctor a minute nod and he left the TARDIS, the door shutting behind him.
"Uh Jenna? It's moving", Rose said worriedly as the engines groaned and the rotor starts to rise and fall.
"That's not supposed to happen", Jenna said pretending surprise. Rose stared at her wide eyed even though it was her feeling 'thing', Jenna didn't know that was going to happen. She abandoned the lever rushed to the TARDIS doors. "Doctor, let us out!" the blonde shouted. Jenna watched Rose hammer on the door, yelling.
"Let us out!"
She tapped Rose on the shoulder when she saw a hologram of the Doctor appear. "This is Emergency Programme One. Rose, Jenna now listen, this is important. If this message is activated, then it can only mean one thing. We must be in danger. And I mean fatal. I'm dead or about to die any second with no chance of escape"
"No!" Rose cried.
"And that's okay. Hope it's a good death. But I promised to look after you, and that's what I'm doing. The TARDIS is taking you home", the Doctor continued.
"I won't let you", Rose said getting upset.
"And I bet you're fussing and moaning now. Typical. But hold on and just listen a bit more. The Tardis can never return for me. Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do. Let the Tardis die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it. No one'll even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world'll move on and the box will be buried. And if you want to remember me, then you can do one thing. That's all, one thing. Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose, Jenna. Have a fantastic life"
The hologram of the Doctor vanished.
"You can't do this to us. You can't. Take us back! Take us back! No!" Rose shouted trying to use the controls but the console doesn't respond.
"Rose stop", Jenna said pulling her gently away from the console "there isn't anything either of us can do. I'm sorry" Rose looked at her surprised that she wasn't even willing to try get back to the Doctor. She ran out of the TARDIS upset. Jenna closed the door as soon as she left. She hated lying to Rose, tricking her into the TARDIS just to keep her safe but if she didn't, Rose would never have left.
"Well it's just you and me now", she said walking up the ramp. "The Doctor once told us you are alive. Which means you can hear me. I have to go back to Satellite 5. I can't let him face the Daleks alone", no answer "please TARDIS" Jenna sighed sadly "I guess this is goodbye. Thanks for all the adventures" she patted the opaque cylinder before heading to the door. She paused with her hand on the door handle when she heard singing fill the air. Jenna turned around and saw the panel that contained the heart of the ship, slowly swung open, golden light spilling out. She went back to the console transfixed by the light.
When she got mere inches away, the gallifreyan locket around her neck opened and the golden light streamed into it. Jenna swayed on the spot before she passed out onto the grilled floor.
The Doctor braced himself for his death when he heard the familiar wheezing of the TARDIS. He stares in shock as the doors fly open to reveal… "Naiyah", he breathed staring at the Time Lady. She looked like her final regeneration. Blonde hair…violet eyes…beautiful. Well even more beautiful because of the golden glow that surrounded her.
She softly smiled "Hello Doctor", she greeted.
"How? Y-you died", the Doctor stammered, reaching out and was very surprised when he managed to touch her face. The Time Lady didn't say a word. She looked over his shoulder and saw the Daleks.
"Looks like another pickle I've got to get you out of", she remarked "just like old times". The Time Lady moved around the Doctor to eye the Dalek's distastefully "I'm going to say this only once. Get back to your ships and get the hell out of this universe!" she ordered.
"Or what?" the Dalek emperor challenged.
"Or I will destroy you and all of your filthy Daleks", Naiyah said.
The Dalek emperor laughed "You cannot hurt me. I am immortal" the Emperor Dalek declared.
Naiyah raised an eyebrow "YOU are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space. Every single atom of your existence, and I divide them", she said. She raised her hand raised her hand and the Dalek in front of her disintegrated into golden particles "Everything must come to dust…all things. Everything dies" she looked to the side and the Daleks lined up were also reduced to golden particles "The Time War finally ends", Naiyah said as the Emperor and his entire mother ship turned into golden particles, dissolving away into oblivion.
"How…did you do that?" the Doctor asked.
"Heart of the TARDIS", Naiyah replied.
"Is that how you're here?" the Doctor questioned.
"In part", the Time Lady answered "my locket also helped". She looked at the words Bad Wolf Corporation. She waved her hand at them and watched the letters rise up and float away. "That'll lead Jenna here", she said.
"What is your connection to her?" the Doctor asked, curious.
"That is a long story and I'm afraid we don't have much time", Naiyah said, slowly starting to fade.
"Will I ever see you again?" the Doctor asked really hoping that this wasn't going to be the last time he saw the Time Lady.
"Yes", Naiyah answered. She then regarded him sadly "I'm going to miss that face", she said reaching out and very lightly touching his cheek "I always miss them when you change".
The Doctor's heart sank, knowing what she meant. She always seemed to know when one of his lives were about to end. "What will I become?" he asked.
Naiyah just gave him a knowing smile "that I can't tell you. All I can say is that he will be fantastic", she said before she leant in and gave him the lightest of kisses on his lips, passing a little time vortex to him. "Take care of yourself…and Jenna", the blonde said and then vanished.
The Doctor went into the TARDIS to find Jenna lying unconscious on the grilled floor. He winced in pain as the regeneration process was starting. I can't go. Not yet the Doctor thought. It wouldn't be fair to Jenna if she woke up to find he'd changed as he didn't know she was already aware about what regeneration meant. Eventually the brown haired girl regained consciousness.
"Doctor? What happened?" Jenna asked sitting up and rubbing her head.
"You don't remember?" the Doctor asked.
"Not really no", she replied getting to her feet "I remember a light and singing…."
"That's right! I sang a song and the Dalek's ran away", the Doctor said cheerfully.
Jenna laughed "I wouldn't be surprised. Music is just noise to Daleks", she stated.
"Jenna I was going take you and Rose to so many places. Barcelona. Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'd love it. Fantastic place. They've got dogs with no noses" the Doctor laughed at his own joke. Jenna cracked a smile at it too "Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke, and it's still funny"
"Then let's get Rose and go", Jenna said.
"Maybe you will. Maybe Rose will. And maybe I will. But not like this", the Doctor said vaguely.
Jenna's eyes widened when she realised what he was implying "you're regenerating", she said quietly and the Doctor nodded. The girl dropped her head "it's all my fault. I'm a stupid human", she said when he grimaced in pain.
"You're not a stupid human. You're a brilliant, fantastic human", he said to her.
"No I'm not", the brunette insisted.
"Jenna look at me", the Doctor said "please", he added when she didn't raise her head. He smiled at her when she did lift her head. "You understand what that means don't you? I'm not going to see you again. Not like this. Not with this daft old face"
"I know", Jenna said trying not to break down. She knew regeneration meant he was going to become a new man. Jenna stepped forward and gently touched his cheek "no matter what happens I'm going to be here for you", she promised.
The Doctor smiled at her through the pain "Thank you", he said grateful that she wasn't going to leave him after he regenerated.
Jenna stumbled back as golden-orange energy exploded from his skin. She stared transfixed as the Time Lord underwent regeneration in front of her. When the light faded, a completely different man was standing there. "Hello! Okay… Ooo" the Doctor stopped and frowned, running his tongue over his teeth "new teeth. That's weird. So, where was I? Oh, that's right. Barcelona" The newly regenerated Doctor grinned at her.
