CHAPTER FIVE

THE BATTLE FOR THE TIME TRAVELLERS

Jack was standing over Rose; she was still lying down, her eyes deeply closed as if she was having a beautiful dream. Then she woke up "What happened, where's the Doctor why am I in the TARDIS"

She stood up and said "Your not taking me back home are you, I've got to stay, I've got to fight"

Jack was alarmed "No you're not going back home, the fight is still on and it's outside in the tunnel"

Rose ran out the TARDIS, ran to the Tunnel and in the room, she looked in horror the scene she was seeing. The Heliapads were in a circle around an ice sculpture with a jolt she realized it was the Doctor.

"Oh look his weak lady friend has come," said a Heliapad "Come to gaze at the ice sculpture"

Rose clenched her hands into fists, her teeth gritted, the Heliapads laughed "Hey let's show that man"

One of the Heliapads pointed to the fingers at the doctor, a white beam shot out and burst some ice open, his eyes, so he can see what was happening. Rose could see his eyes going up, down and side-to-side. Suddenly he caught side of Rose and his eyes widened in horror. He tried to yell at her to run but he couldn't move his lips. Rose gave him a little smile to show that she was ok. The Doctor tried to smile back but his lips were frozen.

Rose stepped forward, her face set, she didn't know what to do, all she could think of was using her fists, she punched the Heliapad in the way, but they held their hand up and blocked her and used the other fist to punch her. She stayed up but pain washed over to her, the spiky claws had dug into her flesh. The one hit her and it did again suddenly it made a scratch along her arm. Rose clutched her arm in pain, she looked anxiously at the Doctor, and she wasn't winning. The Doctor was looking at her in intense despair; he could do nothing to help but wach her suffer as all the Heliapads hit her repeatedly. She punched them; she 2 big bruises across both her eyes so she looked like a panda. She looked at the Doctor as she walked towards him, she raised her fist. "Close your eyes Doctor"

The Doctor obeyed, Rose punched the ice, it cracked open, and at least the Doctor's face was free.

"Thanks Rose" said the Doctor, Rose smiled and she punched all the ice round the Doctor's body until his body was free. Unaware that the Heliapads were closing in. The Doctor gave her a massive hug "I was one that supposed to free you, now you freed me"

Rose grinned as she hugged him back, but something grabbed her mouth and pulled her back.

The Doctor grabbed hold of the Heliapads hand and threw it off; he grabbed Rose and pulled her back. He had his arm around her as though protecting her.

"Don't think your going to get her, not while I'm alive" said the Doctor in a firm voice

"Don't think your going to get him while I'm alive" said Rose and they both grinned at each other.

The Heliapads looked at each other too, suddenly one of them flew forwards and hit Rose right in the chest. Rose wheeled back towards the wall and fell down.

"ROSE NO" shouted the Doctor and ran towards her, Rose was only half awake but she wasn't responding to anything the Doctor did.

The Doctor turned round and lifted up his sonic screwdriver he pointed it towards Rose and a blue energy field went around her. Healing her. Rose woke up she looked quite dazed. "Doctor" she said as she stood up "Let me out"

"Sorry Rose, but in there your safe," said the Doctor

"Doctor please let me out" pleaded Rose "I want to help"

The Doctor turned round and looked straight into Rose's eyes, her eyes were defiant, the Doctor kept on staring, Rose stared right back, not a single tear in her eye. The Doctor clicked the button of the energy field and Rose came out. The Heliapads seemed to be waiting for the perfect moment and they found it then. They leapt for Rose but the Doctor wasn't having it, he leapt in front of her and pulled her down so the Heliapad hit the wall.

"BACK TO THE TARDIS" shouted the Doctor, he grabbed Rose's hand and they nearly flew back to the TARDIS. Jack was there waiting for them "Your both ok" he said

"Yeah we're fine, but let's get out of here now" said the Doctor and he squeezed Rose's hand as Jack flew off. The Doctor hugged Rose with all his might as if nothing can let her go.

"I'm glad you came back" said Rose

"Yeah me too" said the Doctor

"Me three" said Jack "Hey the TARDIS is in orbit"

"Ok" said the Doctor and he clicked a button on the sonic screwdriver it activated a bomb that fell on the planet they were just on and blew it up.

"That's the end of the Heliapads" said the Doctor smiling at Rose "They'll never cause us bother again"

"Thank goodness" said Rose
