I'm really sorry for not updating for a while, I was doing another chapter for another story that had The Stolen Earth and Journey's End on it and I didn't want to get either confused. Then after that I focused on that story and other ones and I lost interest in this for a bit but I finally updated.
Most of this apology goes to chocolate15chip, who had let me take over this story after some personal issues and lack of interest.
But thanks to everyone who has liked and followed this, even though the reviews were dry, but thanks anyway.
All rights go to BBC and chocolate15chip.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3
-In the Noble's Living Room-
Rose Tyler had better days, and very interesting days when she used to travel with The Doctor, but today wasn't one of those. She had made it back to her Universe from Pete's World by the Dimension Cannon. She had been trying to find The Doctor for awhile and had finally made it home, but at an extremely bad time.
After walking around the panic stricken city she had managed to save Donna's mum and Granddad from a Dalek. After they got inside she logged on to a Network of sorts but couldn't be seen or heard because the Nobles didn't have a Web Cam.
But the most surprising and odd thing was she found out The Doctor had a daughter she didn't know about and he never told her.
The girl, Martha, seemed to know her and Jack seemed to know Martha so she assumed The Doctor had Jenny sometime after she was stuck in the Alternate World.
"No way is she his daughter, she looks nothing like him." She thought.
But she soon realized that her eyes were the same as The Doctor's but that all she could compare with between them. But she had to ask them about her when she sees him.
-Subwave Network-
That stumped Harriet out of her half shock and she then continued. "As I was saying, this ladies and gentlemen, is a Subwave Network. A sentient piece of software programmed to seek anyone and anyone who can help The Doctor."
"What if the Daleks can hear us?" Martha asked nervously.
"No! That's the beauty of the Subwave. It's undetectable."
"And… you invented it?" Sarah Jane asked, impressed.
"I developed it." Harriet stated. "It was created by the Mr. Copper Foundation."
"Yeah but what we need right now is a weapon. Martha, back there at UNIT, what did they give you? What was that key thing?" Jack asked.
"The Osterhagen Key." Martha said and held it up for everyone to see.
Jenny remembered she was went to New Earth a couple of times and remembered there was a Museum there about the original Earth's history and saw something about the Key in the early 21st Century history.
She forgot what the outcome was but she knew the Key was bad news.
Harriet was about to say something but Jenny beat her too it and said," Martha, that key must not be used."
"How do you know about this, its top secret?" Martha said confused.
"Went to New Earth in the future went to a Museum about old Earth, can't remember what happened but not important."
"Ok, what's the Osterhagen Key?" Jack asked.
"Forget about the key. That's an order." Harriet said in a commanding tone. "All we need is The Doctor."
"Oh, excuse me, Harriet, but well, the thing is… if you're looking for The Doctor, didn't he dispose you?" Sarah Jane said apologetically.
"He did and I I've wondered about that or a long time, whether I was wrong. But I stand by my actions to this day, because I knew… I knew that one day, the Earth would be in danger and The Doctor would fail to appear. I told him so myself, and he didn't listen." Harriet answered.
"I think he was justified that day, you did order Torchwood to blast the alien ship even though they were leaving peacefully." Jenny said.
Harriet looked surprised, while the people of Torchwood were looking nervous.
" How did you know that?" Harriet asked.
"Hacked the records from British Government Archives, considered Britain's Golden Age and good job with the Slitheen." Jenny praised.
Before Harriet could say anything Martha butted in and said, "Right, but I've been trying to find him. The Doctor's got my phone on the TARDIS, but I can't get through and contact him."
"Same, I've tried to track him, but the source keeps moving, then disappearing. Guess the Daleks don't want anyone coming while their here." Jenny said.
"But what does that mean?" Harriet asked gently.
"I don't know, this has never happened before. Well, the other things I tracked were smaller."
"That's why we need the Subwave, to bring us together. Combined Forces. The Doctor's secret army." Harriet said.
Jack had a look of realization and said," Wait of minute. We boost the signal- that's it! We transit that telephone number through Torchwood itself, using the all the power of the rift.."
"And I can use the spaceships power, and all the equipment on my ship and what you all have to boost the signal more!" Jenny said excitedly.
"And we got Mr. Smith!" Luke said.
Jack looked at Gwen and Ianto with an amused look.
"He can link up with every telephone or any other communicational device exchange on Earth. He can get the whole world to call the same number, all at the same time. Billions of phones calling out, all at once!" Luke carried on.
Jack laughed and said," Haha, that's brilliant! Who's the kid?"
"That's my son!" Sarah Jane exclaimed proudly.
Ianto shuffled to the screen and said," Excuse me… sorry… sorry… hello. Ianto Jones. Um, if we start transmitting, then the Subwave Network is going to become visible. I mean, not only to The Doctor… but the Daleks."
"That and they can also trace it back to us." Jenny added.
"Yes, and they'll trace it back to me, but my life doesn't matter. Not if it saves the Earth." Harriet said.
Jenny looked shocked and then had a stoic expression and said," But your life does matter… I can get the signal as soon as it locks on and they'll trace it back to my ship."
"I admire you're bravery but that is not an option. None of us want you to sacrifice yourself and we then have to break the news to your father, you've been searching for him and you'll be reunited with him. So, you're staying put and that's an order." Harriet said.
Jenny nodded and saluted her and said," Ma'am."
Harriet nodded and said," Good, now we have people out their dying on the streets and we need to act now. Let's begin."
Everyone started getting work and getting everything ready to send the number across the world, in hopes of getting to The Doctor.
"Rift power active." Jack said.
"All terminals co-ordinated." Gwen said.
"National Grid online- Giving you everything we've got." Ianto said.
"Connecting you to Mr. Smith!" Sarah Jane said.
"All telephone networks combined!" Luke said.
"Sending you the number… now!" Martha said.
"Opening Subwave Network to maximum." Harriet said.
"Mr. Smith… make the call."
"Calling… The Doctor."
"Ships power boosting the signal. Calling… dad.
"And sending!"
-Meanwhile in the TARDIS-
The Doctor and Donna had spent their time trying to get to back to Earth and the end of the signal they found lead them to the Medusa Cascade and they found nothing, now they were trying to find another solution when a beeping sound sounded through the TARDIS and The Doctor looked at the console and saw Martha's phone buzzing.
"Phone!" The Doctor yelled and ran straight to the phone and answered it. "Martha, is that you?!... It's a signal."
"Can you follow it?" Donna asked.
The Doctor put on a stethoscope and worked the console determinedly and said," Oh, just watch me."
-Subwave-
Jack looked at the console he was working on, saw a blip and said," I think we've got a fix!"
"Mr. Smith now at two-hundred percent! Oh, come on Doctor." Sarah Jane said.
"Come on dad! You can do it!" Jenny said as she worked the ships console.
-TARDIS-
"Got it! Locking on!" The Doctor yelled as he got the signal and the TARDIS started shaking.
-Subwave-
"Harriet, the Daleks have locked onto your location. They've found you." Gwen said.
Harriet nodded and said," I know. I'm using the network to mask your transmission. Keep going!"
"EXTERMINATE!" A voice said from behind Harriet.
Harriet pressed one last button and said," Captain, I'm transferring the network to Torchwood. You're in charge now. And tell The Doctor from me: he chose his companions well. It's been an honor."
Jack nodded with a sad smile and saluted her with Jenny doing the same and Harriet's screen went black after the sound of a weapon firing.
"C'mon doc/dad. You can do it." Jack and Jenny thought.
-TARDIS-
"Here we go! THREE, TWO, ONE! Hold on!" The Doctor yelled at the top of his lungs and pulled the switch and the TARDIS followed the signal to Earth.
The shaking continued as The Doctor and Donna held onto the Console and hoped they would make it back to Earth.
