There was a man sat reading to his boy trying to get him to read along, the child had dyslexia but the child was adamant that he could listen to books, his father tried to tell him it would get better and he wasn't on his own in this but the child didn't seem convinced before more could be said his wife came over with a lunch box and reminded him of his shift.

Over in the drilling site there were people all monitoring screens all over the command centre they had done it they had reached a new target 21 kilometres straight down the most the earth had ever been drilled into. The man in charge of the drilling, Tony, congratulated all his staff for a job well done and sent them home for the weekend, when the man from home entered, he was called Mo, Tony's son in law, who worked as the security for the night shift. The two main people left in the control room were discussing how much further they could go when he entered, he was happy to see they had reached their mark and said so, he then told them to go home he was in charge now with a laugh the other two left.
Mo was watching the screens when suddenly the drill stuttered and everything started to shake and just stopped, then one by one the security cameras went out, Mo went to investigate only to find a hole, in the middle of a concreate room, made of soil his light vanished into the dirt, as he went to rummage around under the soil for his light, an arm grabbed him he tried to scurry back only to be grabbed by his legs and pulled straight into the hole with the soil that lay over it he screamed as he was pulled right down through it.

The TARDIS came into phase with the breaks still on, no matter what Harry did the Doctor always drove with them on. They were heading for Rio and a beach for a break after their last adventure. They had now been together the five of them for three months.
"Behold... Rio!" spoke the Doctor opening the TARDIS doors The sight that greeted them was a cemetery. Amy, Rory, the Master and Harry stepped out
"Nuh-uh." Spoke up Amy
"Not really getting the sunshine carnival vibe." Spoke up Rory
"No. Ooh, feel that, though, what's that? Ground feels strange... Just me. Wait... That's weird." Spoke the Doctor looking at the Master
"What's weird?" asked Rory
"Doctor, stop trying to distract us. We're in the wrong place. Doctor, it's freezing and I've dressed for Rio. We are not stopping here. Doctor! You listening to me? It's a graveyard! You promised me a beach." Amy had, had to follow the Doctor who had taken off into the graveyard the other two timelords leisurely followed him.
"Blue grass. Patches of it all round the graveyard…..So, Earth, 2020-ish, ten years in your future, wrong continent for Rio, I'll admit, but it's not a massive over shoot" spoke the Doctor while still looking at the blue grass. Any noticed two people on the other side of the valley waving at them.
"Why are those people waving at us?" asked Amy pointing them out to the others
"Can't be." Spoke the Doctor, Rory started to wave back but Amy stopped him. The Doctor took out binoculars and looked through them.
"It is! It's you two." Confirmed the Doctor
"No, we're here. How can we be up there?!"
"Ten years in your future. Come to relive past glories, I'd imagine. Humans, you're so nostalgic." Spoke the Doctor
"We're still together in ten years?" asked Amy shocked
"No need to sound so surprised!" spoke Rory while looking at Amy
"Hey, let's go and talk to them! We can say hi to Future us! How cool is that?" asked Amy only to start to grab Rory's hand before they could do anything the Master stopped them
"No, best not, really best not. These things get complicated very quickly, and...oh, look! Big drilling site. Oh, I love a big mining thing. See, way better than Rio! Rio doesn't have a big drill trying to dig into the foundations of your planet." He used the second bit to get the Doctor to notice it more than Amy but it all worked out.
"We're not going to have a look, are we?" asked Amy in resignation
"Let's go and have a look!" spoke the Doctor but before Harry could comment he was standing with his father in the inbetween Null gave HIM big a hug he had been doing that a while now that he knew he really had emotions for him and really did care about him.
.
.
.
.
"Hello Father, strange time for a visit off you though?" spoke Null looking up to his father.
"I'm really sorry Null, you can't go on this adventure and what is even worse is you will lose Rory." Null's head shot up to speak but his father carried on.
"This is necessary, there is nothing you can do but you will try, if you are there, you would cause this planet to explode that's why I've pulled you here, he will eventually return to you but not how you expect, but you've seen him on that hill. So give you dads the pass phrase and carry on with your lessons in the TARDIS, NOTHING will happen to the other three I promise you this but you will lose Rory and Amy will forget him the Doctor and Master will explain it all to you but you can't tell them they will see him again. These are fixed points that they don't realise but I do even you would but you would try to alter it with my power, you would be trying to fight TIME even with my vast powers you can not contend with her yet you are not old enough or powerful enough as I said the planet would be ripped apart like you old home, it would be that destructive a battle, to try and get him back. I wish there was more I or you could do but you can't go Null. This won't be like a temptation situation this will be a no matter what if you go you will blow up the earth situation. I am so sorry Null but you will see him again soon, but the Doctor and Master can't know that, you know our private time in the inbetween is locked from them but you can't tell them he will come back, it would be a grave error to your future." DEATH carried on, hugging Null he knew this would hurt his son
"Is there nothing I can do father?" asked Null quietly he knew his father always looked out for him.
"I am so sorry Null but no this has to happen, it's only for a time the other two will have to put on an act as will you in front of Amy because she will forget. If you want I can tell you more but only if you want or you can learn it all as you go."
"Please father if Amy has to lose Rory even if she forgets him, we won't and we know how much she loves him."
"You have seen and heard of the cracks…These are time ruptures what they are doing is wiping time out they are spread throughout this entire universe, both in the past, the present and the future it is affecting everything and will affect everything, any more you will work out as you need and see what you need to do as you work it all out son." HE explained to Null gently.
"So Rory will be lost to a crack but the others are completely safe on this adventure and no matter what if I go I will interfere so you don't want me to go. You are absolutely sure Rory will be okay in the end no matter how we end up meeting him again he will be alright in the end and still with Amy?" asked Null still in the hug but again looking at his father as they talked. He was squeezed gently
"Yes Null…it will just take time and time always moves forward never backwards, even in the past you go forward from when you land. Only here is time meaningless so we can spend a minute hugging and a year goes by or we could spend what would feel like a thousand years talking and only a microsecond passes in the real world, as you know. So, carry on with you engineering course that is really coming on for you, but you have missed some of your lessons on it, I'm hoping you will work out how to move to other universes then I only have to move you out of the local cluster into a new one when you are all ready to go."
"Okay father I will do as you ask and thank-you for again looking out for me."
"Always Null, now go on, on with your lessons son, if you want to come and talk to me again after it all happens them you know I am always here for you if you need me." Spoke DEATH placing a kiss on his forehead and let him go, Null nodded and releasing his own hug stepping back.
.

"Actually, you four, I'm going to go back to the TARDIS I have some things I've neglected the last few days and I need to catch up before I fall to behind, I'll have food and drinks waiting for you all when you get back". Both the Doctor and Master looked at him strangely they thought he would enjoy this adventure. He went up to the four and hugged them he hugged Rory for a second longer and then let go.
"Are you sure?" asked the Master
"Iwaswillbe…Yes, I'm sure you go have fun and don't talk to you future selves it could cause a massive paradox." The other two nodded at him in seriousness and Harry turned to go back to the TARDIS hearing what's being said as he's walking.
"Come on, let's see what they're doing." Spoke the Doctor
"If they can't get us to Rio, how are they ever going to get us back home?" asked Rory to Amy.
"Did you not see, over there? It all works out fine."
"After everything we've seen, we just drop back into our old lives, the nurse and the kissogram?"
"I guess. They're getting away." Spoke Amy and that was all Harry heard as he shut to the TARDIS doors closing his eyes and letting tears fall from his eyes. Knowing he was safe as he couldn't be seen now, he knew his father would hide this from both his dads as he needed a few minutes to cry. As he was leaning against the door he looked through the timeline for both his dads and saw what would go on. At the end he was again in tears.

Rory ended up separated from the main group when he returned to the TARDIS to put Amy's engagement ring back in the console room safe where he put it, lucky Harry knew he was coming and had run to his room. Once Rory got outside, he was separated from the group by a woman and a boy, the two from earlier, leading him off thinking he was the police. The woman explained about a dead aunt from six years ago disappearing with the coffin she was buried in, yet the site remained untouched until they went to dig it up for he uncle.

The other three had made it to the drilling site but it was all locked up even though there were two workers inside the main drill site looking over the hole in the floor that Mo had unknowingly disappeared through. After the Doctor used his sonic on the lock and asked about Rory they entered. They met up with the two in charge who were looking into the new hole they had found the Doctor and Master both held up their psychic paper and pretended to be drilling inspectors for the government, new department massive, big first push: look at their site.
As the Doctor and Master were looking over the data the two people had been collecting, Tony was one and the other a coloured lady, the room started to shake and holes appeared all around them the Doctor informed them the earth was attacking them in this room and for them to run the Master, Doctor and one of the people from the site a female made it to the exit but the male with the woman was caught in a hole, the Master ordered Amy not to help but she ignored him she ended up being pulled through a different hole in the ground the three ran to them the Doctor and Master grabbed Amy while the woman grabbed the man he got out and the Doctor told them all to shut down the drill, the Master left with the other two to do that and get it shut down quickly but it wasn't quick enough the room was shaking and Amy and the Doctor were losing their grip just as the drill shut down and the Master ran back into the room Amy was dragged straight under.
They searched with their sonics for her and re-checked the reading that the other two had taken. Talking to each other they couldn't see properly what was going on. The other two joined them only to realise that they had lost her. Once they worked out that it only happened when the drill was working the Master worked it out, he had done it himself 'boiforming' it was from the future used in jungles and in preservation like he had done on the holiday planet Floxum. Suddenly the Master told them all to be quiet even the Doctor. He took readings of his sonic and then laid on the floor before jumping up and hacking into all the drilling data demanding to know why they had drilled here the man and woman explained about the blue grass and the fact it was a mineral not seen in twenty million years only to find out it was a warning to stay away because as they were drilling down something else was drilling up and then he showed them on the computer screen all the upwards drill sites. He looked at it in more detail and then looked at one of the lines three dots were ascending, closing the lids on the computers and telling them to grab them the signatures coming up were people ascending from an underneath dwelling, they were coming up fast he calculated the time and informed them they had twelve minutes until the three were there.
They had run outside and up a hill only for the female to point out a red sheen going over the sky the Doctor pointed his sonic at it and informed them it was a forcefield originating from under the earth they were now all trapped.
They met up with Rory as they were on the move again only for the Master to decide they needed to get into the church it would be the safest place for them. They got into an argument when Rory asked about Amy, both the Master and the Doctor calmed him down and promised him they would get her back, but they needed his support now.
They got into the church only for Mo's wife Ambrose to set about her father as to where Mo was, it turned into a heated debate where eventually the female from the site told the woman that the Doctor and Master were the only ones making any sense in this madness. Mo's son asked the two timelords if they could get his father back and all eyes even Rory's turned to them, they said yes as long as they did exactly as they were told. They had eight minutes if they wanted this to work. Everyone chipped in collecting and placing recording equipment, mobile phones, cameras and security cameras were put up everywhere coving all angles so they could see everywhere on the computer screens.
Ambrose, Mo's wife was carrying a load in her hands when she saw the Doctor inspecting the meals on wheels van, they got into an argument over the guns and defensive items she had brought like a cricket back a shot gun and a taser among others. He told her that wasn't how they worked that she was better than this and he walked away. She looked at what she had collected.
The Doctor and Master were working on the equipment explaining that as soon as they saw something they could send a pulse through the computer to the camera and knock anything out in that area. They were outside the church with a minute to go when it clouded over, turning the whole village dark making them have to turn lights on inside the church suddenly the room started to rumble, and the Master explained they were coming through the upper crust now only for all the power to go out. Then they realised Eliot the little boy wasn't with them when the Doctor admitted he saw him last and he had gone to get headphones, Ambrose set about him. Suddenly Eliot was banging on the door demanding to be let in that he was not on his own he was being followed, they tried to get the door open quickly but by the time they did the boy was gone.
Ambrose ran off and found Eliot's headphones, falling to the ground crying she was attacked from behind. Her father pulled the being off her and then shined a light in its eyes it was a green thing with two ridges along its head in a mask it struck out at Tony, her father, as he was pulling Ambrose back, getting hit in the neck and he collapsed. The others met up with them and the Doctor theorised that they were all still alive or they would have just killed them on the surface he begged her to get into the church while him and the Master dealt with the attack. They all went into the church being herded by Rory. The Master and Doctor walked around the village with sunglasses on only they were infer-red as soon as they realised, they were cold blooded they knew who they were and so set a trap, one amount of noise a CO2 container and the Master jumping out of the back of the meals on wheels van they threw the female inside.
.
.
Once she was thawed out the Doctor and Master said they had an idea of just who they were and now both sides had hostages they were in a stalemate. The timelords decided they needed to interrogate the prisoner they had taken so placed her in the basement to thaw out she was three hundred million years out of her time. It took a bit and a lot of false bravado off the woman but she eventually admitted they came up because they were attacked, they thought the drill was an attack.
The timelords left after she told them she would die for her cause what would they sacrifice for theirs? They just looked at her then each other and left.
The Doctor explained that him and the Master were going to go down underneath the earth and negotiate for the return of their hostages.
"They're not aliens! They're Earth...liens! Once known as the Silurian race, or, some would argue, Eocenes, or homo reptilia. Not monsters, not evil. (stands) Well, only as evil as you are. The previous owners of the planet, that's all. Look, from their point of view, you're the invaders. Your drill was threatening their settlement. Now, the creature in the crypt. Her name's Alaya. She's one of their warriors and she's my best bargaining chip. We need her alive. If she lives, so do Elliot and Mo and Amy. Because we will find them. While we're gone, you four people, in this church, in this corner of planet Earth, you have to be the best of humanity….. No dissecting! No examining! We return their hostage, they return ours. Nobody gets harmed. We can land this, together. If you are the best you can be. You are decent, brilliant people. Nobody dies today. Understand?"

The Doctor and Master left to use the TARDIS to get there, Nasreen, the coloured female, demanded that they take her with them they were going down into the earth something she had dreamed of. The two timelords looked at each other and agreed entering and letting the door swing shut but not locked so she could follow, the woman was outside arguing with the older man who was in love with her, Ambrose's father, Tony.
The two timelords realised when the entered up the ramp to the control room that the doors to the living areas were sealed over and the TARDIS communicated with the Doctor to leave Null alone, he was definitely in the TARDIS and she wouldn't let him leave not even with SATURN which was a shock to him. When the Doctor told the Master, even he was shocked and wanted to know why but the TARDIS wasn't saying anything else.
As they started to enter the needed coordinates into the control unit the woman joined them mesmerised at the inside knowing it was only a police box on the out. They started to descend the earth only to find the TARDIS had been hijacked and they were being pulled down by something else, what was worse they couldn't stop it.
.
.
.
.
The three remaining adults went to look at the woman they had caught Rory assured her they would keep her safe but she returned she knew apes better than themselves and knew which one would kill her to ignite the war to rid the earth of them. They left but Tony didn't follow them, he went to find a mirror and looking into it saw the veins in his shoulder and chest turning green from where he had been hit in the neck.
.
.
.
.
The TARDIS landed and the three stepped out the woman wanted to know how far down they were and the Doctor explained they had hit their main shaft for going up and were a lot further down than the drill he explained, she wanted to know why they weren't burning alive and the Doctor looked at the Master saying it was a good question, he told Nasreen they were looking for a small tribe, a little settlement, only for her to go in a different direction to the other two they followed her only to see what she saw, it wasn't a little settlement, it wasn't a small tribe, it was an entire civilisation living under the earth!
The Doctor and Master with Nasreen were walking along agreeing the best way in was the front door approach only to hear alarms go off the Doctor thought about the back door approach but before he could do anything but voice it, they were surrounded and gassed.
.
.
.
.
Amy had been held and awakened to find herself strapped to a chair Mo was at the side of her and told her to shut her eyes and not look when a man wearing a mask entered and locked Amy totally in place but didn't notice her swipe the lock key back out of his pocket, he was just about to start to dissect her when he was called away. Amy made a break for it taking Mo with her only to find his son in some sort of room with things growing along him he wanted to know what they had done and Amy said the Doctor and Master were needed they had to find them.
Unfortunately the Doctor, Master and Nasreen found themselves waking to decontamination the Master and Doctor screamed as they were put through it they had to explain while in agony that they weren't human eventually before it killed them the scientist turned it off the other with him demanded he carry on. The Doctor talked, not happy to find out she was military, to her, only to find out the drill had been hitting their air pockets and she wanted to know when the rest of the invasion force was due. The Doctor tried to explain that they had only come down to collect the other three taken and that they could then have the other lady back that she was safe. Then things turned serious when she told them she was going to send a message to the surface, that message was their death.
.
.
.
.
Amy and Mo stumbled upon what looked like the people that had taken them, only for Amy to work out that they were in suspended animation and that this was their way out the mats they were on would take them to the surface. Mo decided they needed guns Amy wasn't sure but took one anyway. They went through a door at the end of the corridor only to find light coming on from the front to the back, they both saw row upon row of the suspended beings there must have been hundreds of thousands. Amy told Mo they had to find the Doctor and Master.
.
.
.
.
The Doctor and Master along with Nasreen were walking along the Doctor explaining that they had put themselves into hibernation for millennia because their astronomers predicted a planet colliding with the Earth when all it was, was the moon coming into alignment. The scientist demanded to know how he knew that, and he explained he had met others of their race a long time ago they wanted to know what had happened and the Doctor looked upset and guilty to them, and sadly explained that the humans had wiped them out.
.
.
.
.
Back on the surface Ambrose had found out what was wrong with her father and gone to confront the prisoner they held, she had the taser with her, but the prison wound her up so much that while at first she was scared to use it, she now wanted to use it and did. The other hearing the scream came running in Rory had been tending to Tony, the prisoner told them that she knew it would be the one with the most to lose that would start the war Rory tried to help he even begged her to tell him how but she just sneered at them all before she stopped breathing.
.
.
.
.
The two timelords and Nasreen were taken to what the Doctor commented was a very posh looking place only to be informed it was where they held their tribunals. Amy and Mo came in from different exits and demanded they let the Doctor and Master go on for the military female to grab the gun off her and other soldiers surrounded them making Mo also give up his gun, the military leader got into an argument with the scientist they were both the same rank but now it had become a purely military matter and made him leave for his labs when he tried to convince her that what she was doing wasn't their way.
The military leader cut into the transmission of a computer screen that was dumped in a pile on top they could see the others in the back both Ambrose and Rory shouted out to their significant others. The leader demanded to know who spoke for the apes Rory eventually did only for her to demanded to see the prisoner by name she said one hostage would be executed at a time and to kill Amy, Rory shouted no, only for the screen to go off. The military leader was stopped from firing on the first hostage by a true Elder and leader of their race. They got into an argument especially when she realised the scientist had woken him so she couldn't do this, she was disgusted they use to hunt apes for fun now they polluted their world. The elder dismissed her but she told him he would need her then they would see.
.
.
.
.
The others in the church were panicking when the screen turned on and the Doctor instructed them to go to the drilling site to the room with the hole and they would send up transport discs for them that they had to bring their captive for the exchange and then told them he had to dash and shut the screen off before he could find out what had happened.
.
.
Amy and Nasreen were sat on one side of the table and the elder on the other the Master and Doctor were at the top explaining that they wouldn't speak for humanity it was up to Amy and Nasreen to do it Amy wanted to know if this was what happened in the future the planet got shared, the Doctor explained they travelled in time.
"There are fixed points through time, where things must always stay the way they are. This is not one of them. This is an opportunity, a temporal tipping point. Whatever happens today, will change future events, create its own timeline, its own reality. The future pivots around you. Here. Now. So do good. For humanity, and for Earth Amy and Nasreen". Was his reply, but the Doctor looked at the Master and telepathically asked if he felt something wrong especially with the way Null behaved the Master agreed it was, but they would talk to him later about it. They left Amy and Nasreen to go and get Mo's son.
.
.
.
.
Back on the surface they had carried their prisoner's body to the room with all the holes and laid her on the ground Tony commented that as soon as they got there it was over. Ambrose pulled her father off to talk to him in private.
The Doctor, Master and Mo were at his sons chamber Mo threatened if they had harmed his son in any way there would be trouble, the scientist explained that he slowed their life cycle down to a millionth of what it should be so he could study them they never hurt the young. The Doctor found out the scientist's family had worked for millennia studying life on the surface and it had been him for the last three hundred years.
.
.
.
.
Back in the meeting chamber things weren't going quite so well As the Elder sat there that day across the table from the humans the future of both species and of their beloved planet Earth rested in their hands, but as the discussions went on, he began to despair about whether they would ever find any common ground, as ambassadors for their species they all had too much to lose. The elder brought up an image of the earth at Amy's request
"So, what about the areas that aren't habitable to us? Australian outback, Sahara desert, Nevada plains... They're all deserted." Amy explained but her companion disagreed
"Yes, fine, but what happens when their population grows and breeds and spreads? And anyway, what benefit does humanity get, and how would we ever sell this to people on the surface?" Was Nasreen's argument, then the Elder spoke
"Maybe I could tell you. You give us space, we can bring new sources of energy, new methods of water supply, new medicines, scientific advances. We were a great civilisation. You provide a place for us on the surface, we'll give you knowledge and technology beyond humanity's dreams. We work together, this planet could achieve greatness." Was what he put forth the two women looked at each other both agreeing that actually could really work. The Doctor, Master, Mo and Eliot walked into the room the Doctor clapping congratulating them on a good first meeting.
.
.
.
The scientist was checking reading on one of the devices he had told the other four to go on without him but then he heard an alarm that wasn't right when he went to investigate he found the military leader releasing soldiers one after the other he demanded she stop but refused she would protect her race from the apes he tried to back away from her only to receive a blast to the chest and he fell down dead.
Back in the meeting room the Elder was announcing that all the others were now here but only Rory, Ambrose and finally Tony walked in the others had got up to greet them only for the Doctor and Master to draw in a breath Tony was carrying a bundle Rory had his head down the Doctor was angry he demanded to know that they hadn't done this, Ambrose admitted it was her, but her father had joined Rory away from her and her son went with them even Mo kept away from her looking shocked at what she had done. The Master apologised to the elder saying they had no idea, they had left strict instructions. The Doctor was disgusted he had told them to be the best humanity could be and she had let them all down now…..She demanded that this was their planet and they would be left alone, only for the military leader to come in from the main doors followed by dozens of soldiers all entering from different points in groups she even had one behind her. She demanded her sister only to see her on the floor dead. She virtually cried over her. The Doctor begged for her to give humanity a chance to show they were better, the military leader said they were all the same. Then they found out they had no choice but to let them go if they wanted to live the drill had been set to start in fifteen minutes Tony looked to Nasreen when she rounded on him demanding an explanation, he said they had Eliot he had no choice. The military leader demanded she be executed both the Doctor and Master pulled out the sonics and fried the first shot then told everyone to get out, even the Elder was threatened and had to run with them himself, with the two timelords frying the others shooting at them they ran they needed to get to the scientists lab. As they ran for it the Master and Doctor going last frying the guns firing on the others, then they had to move out of the way of a few of their very long tongues. They caught up with the others and told them to get to the lab they would cover them the Master and Doctor both had their sonics out and held against the soldiers with the military leader she had lost her gun it had been fried already the Doctor told them to either stop what they were doing and have peace talks or they go back into hibernation she refused but he told her one warning and that was it, they both fried the other guns and ran for it.
They met the others in the science lab and demanded to see what Tony was hiding as he was sweating and out of breath sat down, they found out he wasn't infected but mutating, the Doctor got the Elder to work on that by sending him through decontamination which should get rid of it, while the Master had all the others checking the cameras and trying to find a way to remotely stop the drill. The Doctor came up with the idea, send a pulse straight up through the earth at the drill Nasreen was shocked it would ruin her life's work. She agreed but pointed out that they needed to be away as it would cave in the tunnels, and they were surrounded with no way out.
The Elder came up with a plan for them he could send out a signal of toxic fumigation for the whole city everyone would be warned to enter cryostasis shutting the city down, Nasreen pointed out it would kill all his people he replied that it would only be those following the military leader, the Doctor asked him if he was sure he explained that the earth wasn't ready for his race so the Doctor compromised he told him to set it for a thousand years then told the humans with him they had that amount of time to be ready for them to pass it on in prophecy or folk story or anything but to spread the word the thirty first century was the year the earth was shared.
Then they all set to work the Doctor using the keys on the system, The Doctor was impressed fluid controls, after setting it all up they realised they couldn't take Tony they only had so many minutes and he wouldn't be through the decontamination he told them to go that this city was his only hope that he would always be there waiting. Ambrose blamed herself but Tony told her not to and for Eliot not to hold it against her either he told his grandson that he wouldn't see him again but he would be with him always in his heart. Then they were off, the Doctor told them they would have seconds to run to the TARDIS. Nasreen shocked them all when the others were told to follow her and she said they would have to follow the Master she was staying with Tony they would enter cryo together, she had found what she had always been looking for life under the planet. Amy returned for the Doctor, he was hugging Nasreen, Amy shouted to him and he checked his watch then grabbing Amy they ran for it to.
They came to the TARDIS and the Master was stood their holding the door Amy had to grab Rory as they were running, he was going in the wrong direction, as the Master told the others to get in and the Master let them through all four noticed the crack in the wall and that it was getting bigger.
"The Angels laughed, when I didn't know. Prisoner Zero knew, everybody knows, except me!" spoke the Doctor moving towards the crack
"Doctor, just leave it" spoke Amy
"But where there's an explosion, there's shrapnel." He pulled a hanky out of his pocket and puts it between his fingers and thumb as though to grab something as he walked to the crack.
"Doctor, you can't put your hand in there!" spoke up Rory
"Why not?" The Doctor reached in with the hand holding the hankie. He cried in pain as the light got brighter. Rory and Amy were watching nervously, not knowing what to do.
"I've got something!"
"What is it?" asked Amy as the Doctor pulled back and fell to the floor clutching the item wrapped in the hankie. It sizzled with heat and energy.
"Doctor!" Rory shouted the dying military leader was crawling into the tunnel. The Doctor jumped up off the ground.
"She was there, when the gas started... She must've been poisoned." Spoke Amy having seen her on the screen
"You!" Shouted the Military leader
"OK, get in the TARDIS, both of you." Spoke the Doctor to the two of them, and reached into his jacket pocket.
"You did this." Spoke the military leader and pointed a gun at the Doctor Rory pushed him out of the way while shouting out the Doctors mane
"Rory!" shouted the Doctor, Master and Amy, Rory groaned in pain on the ground just as the military leader died
"Rory, can you hear me?" asked the Doctor while using his sonic screwdriver on him
"I don't understand." Spoke Rory
"Shh-shh. Don't talk." Spoke Amy as she stroked his face
"Doctor, is he OK? We have to get him into the TARDIS!" spoke up Amy
"We were on the hill. I can't die here." Spoke Rory
"Don't say that." Spoke Amy crying on Rory's face
"You're so beautiful... I'm sorry." And Rory died before anything more could be said.
"Doctor, help him!" demanded Amy but the Doctor looked towards the crack and saw tendrils of light reaching out, touching Rory's feet.
"Amy, move away from the light, if it touches you, you'll be wiped from history. Amy, move away now." Spoke the Master commandingly
"No! I am not leaving him! We have to help him!"
"The light's already around him, we can't help him." He told her while gripping her shoulders so she couldn't run off
"I am not leaving him!"
"We have to." Spoke the Doctor in sadness
"No!"
"Sorry!" said the Doctor as he grabbed her
"Get off me!"
"Sorry!" he repeated, and this time lifted her off her feet and dragged her to the TARDIS
"Get off me!" Amy shouted but the Doctor pushes her inside the TARDIS.
"No! No! No!" she shouted as she started to run to the doors the Master used his sonic on the door lock before she could get there, he had seen the timeline. She shouted and pounded on the door, crying her eyes out.
"Let me out, please let me out... I need to get Rory." The Doctor walked determinedly to the console. Amy turned around, tears streaming down her cheeks. She saw the monitor.
"That light, if his body's absorbed, I'll forget him. He'll never have existed. You can't let that happen." She begged the two timelords, but The Doctor pulled on a lever on the console.
"What are you doing?" Demanded Amy running to the two timelords at the console
"Doctor! No!" She shouted at him, but the TARDIS began to dematerialize. He went to her as the Master ran the controls and pulled her into a hug which she ends up hitting him on in frustration
"No! No! Doctor, we can't just leave him there!"
"Keep him in your mind. Don't forget him. If you forget him, you'll lose him forever." Spoke the Doctor
"On the Byzantium, I still remembered the Clerics because I am a time traveller, now you said."
"They weren't part of your world. This is different...this is your own history changing." He grabbed her by the head to look into her eyes
"Don't tell me it's going to be OK. You have to make it OK."
"It's going to be hard, but you can do it, Amy. Tell me about Rory. Fantastic Rory, funny Rory, gorgeous Rory. Amy, listen to me. Do exactly as I say. Amy, please. Keep concentrating. You can do this." Spoke the Doctor to her
"I can't." She spoke with tears falling down her face
"You can. You can do it. I can't help you unless you do. Come on. We can still save his memory. Come on, Amy. Please… "
"Come on, Amy, come on. Amy, please. Don't let anything distract you…..Remember Rory. Keep remembering, Rory is only alive in your memory. You must keep hold of him. Don't let anything distract you. Rory still lives in your mind." Spoke the Doctor trying to get her to concentrate on Rory
The TARDIS shook upon materializing, knocking both of them to the floor. The box containing the engagement ring fell in front of the Doctor and he stared at it.
"What were you saying?" asked Amy to him brightly as though nothing was wrong a second ago the Doctor could only stare at her and quickly grabbed the box to hide it. Mo and Elliot walked down the stairs.
"I have seen some things today, but this is beyond mad." Spoke up Mo as they reached the console room
"Doctor! Five seconds till it all goes up!" spoke Amy looking at her watch that she was using to count down to the drill being destroyed they exited the graveyard to daylight the TARDIS has materialized in the graveyard overlooking the drill site. They all watched as it exploded.

Later, Elliot, Amy and Mo were stood in the graveyard as the Doctor Master and Ambrose stood at the entry to the church.
"All Nasreen's work just erased." Spoke up Amy to the Timelords
"Good job she's not here to see it. She's going to give Tony hell when they wake up." Spoke the Doctor in humour
"You could've let those things shoot me. You saved me." Spoke up Ambrose unable to understand why they had
"An eye for an eye. It's never the way. Now you show your son how wrong you were. Now there's another way. You make him the best of humanity... In the way you couldn't be," spoke the Doctor for them both then they looked at her with a gentle smile before leaving
.

"You two are very quiet. Oh! Hey! Look! There I am again! Hello, me!" spoke Amy who waved to her future self who was alone.
"You go back into the TARDIS we'll be in with you in a second I just want to sort the lock out on the door first."
"Okay, you boys and your locksmithing, anyway I feel like I need a holiday Rio or somewhere" and she entered the TARDIS.
"I pulled this out of the crack in the walls that we are being taunted about." Spoke the Doctor lifting the piece he had taken from the crack and holding it up to the TARDIS where it matched part of a sign on the TARDIS door.
"We need to talk to Harry something more is going on. With all this!" Spoke the Master back. The Doctor nodded agreeing with him. So both entered the TARDIS only to see the doorways and everything back open now to them as though Harry was off lockdown. They shared another look.
