Chapter Eight: The Time of Angles: Part 1


Rose stepped out of the Tardis and frowned. "We didn't land in Barcelona!"

There was a groan and a moment of silence before The Doctor stepped out with a pout. "Why is it that whenever we want to go to Barcelona, and I mean the planet Barcelona, not the city Barcelona, the Tardis takes us somewhere else," he whined, putting on his brown trench coat.

The Master snorted. "Why go to Barcelona? It's the most boring planet in the universe!"

The Doctor turned to him. "How can you say that? They have dogs with no noes!"

Amy scowled as she stuck her head out. "Why on earth did the Tardis bring us to a bloody museum?"

They landed in a room which looked like it belonged in a church. The room was filled with knickknacks encased in glass cases, full on display. The Doctor looked at Rose before he shrugged and led the way.

Rose sighed and turned to Amy. "He's going to keep score now."

Amy looked clueless. "What?"

"Just watch," Rose said with an irritated sigh and a shook of her head as she walked around, examining the pieces.

"Wrong. That's wrong, a little bit right but mostly wrong," The Doctor babbled, pointing to the pieces. "Museums, humans who invented a place for archeological pieces to lay rest. Amazing humans are."

"Yeah great," Amy cut in with her heavy Scottish accent. "Can we go to a planet now? Big space ship? Churchill's bunker? You promised me a planet next."

"Ah but Fire Cracker, this isn't just any museum. This is the Delerium Archive," The Master said, examining what looked to be a busted up Walkman with red flashing lights.

"What's that mean?" Amy asked.

"The final resting place of the headless monks. The biggest museum in the universe," The Doctor replied.

Rose couldn't help but snort. "Remember The Library, Master?"

The Master groaned. "Don't remind me sweetie."

The Doctor gaped at them. "You went to The Library?"

Rose nodded with a grimace. "Yeah, with Donna. But the planet was crawling with Vashta Nerada. The Master and I stopped it though."

"What's this old box?" Amy asked from the other side of the room. She was leaning over a glass case with an old and rusty looking box inside.

The Doctor pulled out his square glasses and leaned over. "Well, it's not just any old box. This Amelia, is a home box."

Amy glared at the Time Lord. "It's Amy! And what's a home box?"

The Master sighed. "Think about it like a black box on a plane," he suggested and Amy nodded slowly. "So anything happens on that space craft, the home box will fly to it's planet of origin with everything recorded, makes it easier for the mud monkeys to figure out what went wrong."

"So?" Amy asked, bored.

"So, the writing on the box is Old High Gallifreyan," The Doctor said.

Rose frowned. "But that hasn't been around for centuries."

"So what does this say?" Amy asked, clearly agitated.

The Master looked down and scowled at Rose. "Hello Sweetie."

Rose smirked. "And who do we know would say something like that?"

The next thing that Amy knew, she was running for her life as security guards were chasing them, after The Master used his sonic screwdriver to snatch the old box and made a dash to the Tardis. Amy closed the doors just in time as The Master began to plug in cables and turned on the monitor.

"Why are we doing this?" Amy asked, breathlessly.

"Because someone from a different time zone is trying to contact us. So we're going to see if the security camera's caught anything," The Doctor replied, fiddling with buttons.

The monitor cleared to reveal a beautiful woman wearing an elegant black dress and ruby red high heel shoes. Her blonde curly hair was done up and had a small black bag. A man was also there, standing behind two bodyguards who held up their guns aiming at the woman.

"The party is over Doctor Song and you are still on board," the man said arrogantly.

Doctor Song turned around and smirked. "Sorry, Alistair. I needed to see what was in your vault," she said cheerfully before frowning. "Do you all know what's down there? Any of you? Because I'll tell you something. This ship won't reach its destination."

Alistair pursed his lips, obviously not impressed. "Wait until she runs. Don't make it look like an execution."

Doctor Song sighed, removing her hand that was placed on her hips to her wristwatch. "Triple seven five Slash three four nine by ten, Zero twelve slash acorn. Oh and I do with an air corridor," she added as an after thought.

Amy frowned in confusion. "What did she say?" she asked as The Doctor and The Master danced around the console of the Tardis, pressing buttons and flipping switches.

"Coordinates, you'll get use to it," Rose replied before turning to the monitor.

Doctor Song was now grinning like a mad woman. "Like I said on the dance floor, you might want to find something to hang on to."

Rose frowned as the corridor opened, revealing an air tight compartment that led out to space. Alistair and the men ended up clinging to the pipes and Doctor Song flew out into space.

"What the hell is that idiotic woman doing?" Rose shouted as the Tardis began to dematerialize.

The Master bounced down the stairs, wrenching the door open and held out his arm. Doctor Song came flying towards them. The Master grabbed her hand and was knocked down onto the floor as Doctor Song crashed into him.

"Master?" Amy asked, confused.

The Master looked at Doctor Song in shock. "River?" he breathed. "But how are you…"

River got off of him and moved to the door, watching as the spaceship flew into space. "Follow that ship," she demanded.

Rose's eyes widened. How the hell is River Song alive?

….

Things were quite tense in the Tardis after that, The Master and River bickered like an old married couple after they landed the Tardis on an unknown planet. River smirked as she went outside, leaving Amy begging The Master and Rose if she could see the planet since she hasn't seen one. The Master grudgingly agreed, but only for ten minutes. "I won't have that insufferable woman dragging me around like a puppy!" he told her.

Amy grinned as she stepped out of the Tardis, looking around her in slight disappointment. It looked the same as Earth. Only that there was a huge temple submerged into a cliff and that a spaceship was crashed into it.

"What caused it to crash? Not me?" River asked.

The Master snorted. "Sure, the entire universe revolves around you."

River didn't even spare him a glance as The Doctor answered. "The airlock sealed a soon as you left. The engines were in the middle of a phase shift, there were no survivors."

River sighed, opening her handbag. "A phase shift would have to be sabotage. I did warn them," she sang as she reached for a device.

"What did you warn them? The crashing?" Rose asked as she stared at the spacecraft on fire.

"At least the building was empty. Aplan temple. Unoccupied for centuries," River said, ignoring Rose who rolled her eyes.

Amy smirked as she looked between River and the Time Lords. "Aren't you going to introduce us?" she asked The Doctor.

The Doctor shrugged. "Don't ask me. I was stuck in a parallel world. I have no idea who she is."

"Fire Cracker, this is Professor River Song," The Master interrupted with a suffering sigh.

River stopped typing on her device and turned to The Master with a gasp of surprise. "I'm going to be a professor someday am I? How exciting, spoilers!"

Amy smiled before turning to The Master. "Yeah, but who is she and how did she do that? She just left you a note in a museum," she hissed.

The Master glared. "Shut it," he said, pouting as he walked away like a two-year-old child.

River snorted in amusement. "Two things always guaranteed to show up in a museum. The Home Box of category four starliner and sooner or later, them," she replied, before turning to Amy with a smile. "It's how they keep score."

Rose scowled. "I don't! they do it to pass the time."

Amy laughed as she joined River, ignoring Rose. "I know."

"It's hilarious, isn't it?" River asked with a chuckle as she still typed away.

The Master came back and pointed a finger at her. "Well we're not a bloody taxi service. We won't save you because River Song's in a spot of trouble…. Again…."

River nodded along with a smile. "And you are so wrong…. Because Doctor, there is a thing in the belly of that ship that can't ever die!" she said, making the Time Lord turn with a serious expression. Then River turned to Amy. "Now he's listening…." She then made her way along the shore line off, talking into her device.

Rose walked over to The Doctor taking his hand. "Something that can't ever die? What creature can do that?" she whispered.

The Doctor shrugged. "Everything dies eventually," he replied.

"Oi Master! Can you sonic me? I need the signal to use it as a beacon!" River shouted, holding the device above her head. The Master sighed pulling out his sonic and did as he was told River grinned and curtsied before walking off.

Amy laughed as she joined him. "Oh Master, you sonicked her," she said seductively.

"We have a minute…. Shall we?" River said, holding out her blue Tardis diary. Rose sighed as she walked off, taking out her own. "Have we done the Bone Meadows?"

Amy frowned. "What's with the books?"

"Stay away Fire Cracker," The Master growled.

Amy looked confused. "But what is it though?"

"Her diary," The Master quickly replied.

River snorted. "Our diary," she corrected.

"Her past, our future," Rose said and at Amy's confused expression, Rose shrugged. "That's time travel for you."

Amy was about to reply when a gust of wind in a form of four small tornadoes started to gather up dust and sand. Suddenly the tornadoes turned into four soldiers. The soldiers looked around, guns at the ready and waiting for a threat. When they realized they weren't in any danger, they placed their guns down, relaxing their posture.

A man noticed River and walked over to her. "You promised me an army Doctor Song," he reminded her, annoyance laced in his voice.

River shook her head. "No, I promised you the equivalent of an army. These people are The Doctor, The Master and The Wolf."

The man's eyes widened as he recognized them. He walked straight up to The Doctor and shook his hand. "Father Octavian, Sir. Bishop, second class. Twenty clerics at my command," he introduced himself. "The troops are already in the drop ship and landing shortly. Doctor Song was helping us with a covert investigation. Has Doctor Song explained what we're dealing with?" he asked as The Doctor glanced up at the spaceship.

River turned to him with a smile. "Doctor…. What do you know about about the Weeping Angles?"

Instead of The Doctor turning to her, like River expected, Rose did.

"What did you just say?" Rose asked, her eyes widening.

….

By the time the soldiers and River set up a base of operations, night fell over them. Amy felt like she was in a war movie as she saw the shipping containers that were converted into a drop ship. Tables with equipment were surrounding them and lights were being planted in the sand. They were following Octavian who led them towards the temple.

"The Angel, as far as we know, is still trapped in the ship. Our mission is to get inside and neutralize it. We can't get through up top, we'd be too close to the drives," Octavian began, pulling out his device, similar what River had. "According to this, behind the cliff face there's a network of catacombs leading right up to the temple. We can blow through the base of the cliffs, get into the entrance chamber, then make our way up," he added, showing them blueprints of the temple inside.

The Doctor looked serious while The Master and Rose looked bored.

"Good," Rose said, staring at the temple.

Octavian frowned. "Good Ma'am?"

The Master sighed irritably. "Dark catacombs with a Weeping Angle inside. A creature that loves the dark, brilliant."

Octavian still didn't understand. "Technically, I think it's called a maze of the dead."

Rose scowled. "You can stop anytime you like," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.

The Master raised an eyebrow. "Now look who's being rude."

Octavian was about to reply when a soldier requested his presence. He excused himself from the Time Lords and when he moved away, The Doctor began to scan the technology while Rose looked into some notes that were dumped onto the table. The Master just looked bored.

Amy smirked a little. "You guys are letting people call you Sir and Ma'am. You guys never do that," she pointed out and when they didn't reply Amy leant against the table. "So whatever a Weeping Angle is, it's pretty bad yeah?"

"Hmm… interesting" Rose muttered, passing The Master the file before turning to Amy. "Why the hell are you still here?"

Amy smiled playfully. "Are you guys grumpy dwarfs today?" she teased.

"Amy the Weeping Angles are more powerful than the Daleks. They will take over planets in the blink of an eye, literally," The Master explained slowly, as if talking to a two child.

"Don't patronize me," Amy growled threateningly.

"And all we got is three screwdrivers, well one of them is a laser one, and torches, assuming we survive the radiation anyway," the Doctor babbled.

"Doctor? Master? Wolf?" River called, popping her head out from the drop ship.

Rose rolled her eyes. "I wish she'd stop calling me that," she muttered, rolling her eyes.

Amy raised an eyebrow. "Wolf?" she repeated.

Rose shrugged. "Tell you later, maybe in the spa room. I have a feeling we will need that after this adventure."

"Father Octavian?" River added before disappearing.

As they walked to the drop ship, Amy frowned. "Why do they call him Father?"

"That's because they are his Clerics and he is their bishop. Church doesn't exist anymore," The Master replied.

When they walked inside, the first thing that Amy noticed was the vast amount of technology that was in the room. However, it still looked like technology from the 21st century. River was leaning against the table watching the television that showed a statue of an angle, crying in it's hands.

River sighed as she turned to the Time Lords. "What do you lot think?" she asked. "It's from the security cameras in the Byzantium vault. I ripped it when I was on board. Sorry about the quality. It's four seconds. I've put it on loop."

"Yep, it's an Angle. Her hands are covering the face," Rose confirmed.

Octavian frowned. "You've encountered the Angles before Wolf?"

Rose rolled her eyes. "My name is Rose! And yes I did, but they were just barely surviving, I managed to stop them."

Amy shook her head, confused. "It's just a statue."

"It's a statue when you see it," River corrected, staring at screen.

The Doctor turned to River. "Where did it come from?"

River shrugged. "Oh, pulled from the ruins of Razbahan, end of last century. It's been in private hands ever since. Dormant all that time."

The Master glared at her. "You, of all people, should know the difference between dormant and patient, my dear."

"Now, you two, calm down, argue like a married couple later," Rose teased before turning to The Doctor. "So how are we going to take care of this one?"

"Blow it up? Send it back through time? I haven't made a plan yet," The Doctor said.

"What does it mean, a statue when you see it?" Amy asked, interrupting them.

River took a deep breath before turning to Amy. "he Weeping Angels can only move if they're unseen. So legend has it."

The Doctor snorted. "Well obviously it isn't a legend. It's a quantum lock. They turn to stone when you look at them."

"Being a stone?" Amy asked.

"Until you turn your back…" The Doctor continued, staring at the Weeping Angle while figuring out a plan in his head.

Things are going to get complicated.

A/N: So River is in the building everyone! Thank you to all the reviews from the last chapter! Keep them up :)
