Chapter nine: The Time of Angles: Part 2
"So… what's the plan?" River asked The Master as she and The Doctor went over notes, or in The Master's case, looing bored.
The Master raised an eyebrow. "Who says I have a plan?"
River snorted. "You're The Master! You always have a plan!"
The Doctor smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I like you."
River smirked back at him, flipping a page of her Tardis diary. "You do," she said mysteriously before turning to The Master. "Well?"
The Master sighed before rolling his eyes. "Well obviously the radiation is going to cause problems…."
"Because of the Angel," River interrupted.
"No!" The Master said before frowning. "Well probably. Most definitely. But the radiation will also affect the Apes, like Fire Cracker. And since she has a knack of getting herself into trouble, there should be a guard dog with her at all times," he said.
"Rose is with her now," The Doctor added.
The Master nodded. "So that takes care of problem two. Now for problem one, the Angle is creating an army. I know that for a fact and it is going to use the radiation to start up this plan. So all we need to do is to get to the wreckage, get to the Angle, find a crack in a wall and destroy them."
"A crack in a wall?" River asked confused, putting her diary down.
The Master shrugged. "No idea why I said that. It'll come back to me."
River was about to say something when Amy's voice interrupted them. "Doctor Song! Rose wants to know if you had more than one clip of the Angle."
River shook her head. "No just a few seconds," she replied, dismissing Amy and going back to her diary.
….
Meanwhile back inside the drop ship, Rose frowned in confusion.
"What do you think is happening?" Amy asked quietly. "Is it the Angel? If it is then it shouldn't move right? It's a recording!"
Rose sighed. "Amy calm down. There has to be a logical explanation. The last time I saw Weeping Angels, they transported me and Martha back to 1969."
Amy bit her lip as she saw the plug that was connected. She pulled on hard but it didn't come out. Amy grunted before looking up at the screen. The Angel is up close to the camera. Amy gasped in horror as she and Rose took a step back. They didn't even notice that the door of the drop ship closed behind them.
"Doctor!" Rose shouted, turning her head to see the door shut. "Oh you've got to be kidding me," she groaned as she ran to the door. "Amy, keep looking at the Angel. See if you can turn off the tele."
Amy nodded, keeping her eyes on the screen as she reached blindly for the remote. Once she found it, she held it shakily with two hands while pushing the off button.
"Rose it's not working!" Amy said.
"DOCTOR!" Rose yelled, banging on the door louder.
There was a moment of tense silence before there was a banging on the other side of the door. "Rose? What's happening in there?" The Doctor asked.
"The Angel is here, you bloody idiot!" Rose replied, turning the wheel tightly to see if it would move.
"Keep looking at it!" The Master added.
Rose sighed. "I know that Moron!" she said, slamming her hand against the door for good measure.
"Rose, I need to blink," Amy said.
"Okay, go," Rose replied, fixing her eyes on the Angel in the room as Amy took a long deserved blink.
"Can you turn it off?" The Doctor asked.
"What?" Amy asked, annoyed as she pressed her ear on the door.
"The screen, can you turn it off?" The Doctor asked.
"We tried," Amy said softly, glancing at the Angel nervously.
"Don't keep your eyes off the Angel, don't even blink," The Doctor replied,
Amy growled. "We're not blinking, have you ever tried not blinking!"
"Doctor, it keeps switching on," Rose said, hearing the noise of the sonic screwdriver.
"Yeah it's the Angel," The Master said.
"It's just a recording," Amy muttered softly, shaking her head in denial.
"No, anything that takes the image of an Angel is an Angel," The Doctor said.
There was an intense silence and muffled voices outside which Rose assumed that it was The Doctor, River and The Master having a conversation.
"Doctor, what will the Angel do to us?" Amy asked quietly.
"Just keep looking at it!" The Doctor replied. "Amy and Rose, don't look at it in the eyes," he added after another moment of silence.
"Why?" Amy asked, looking in the Angels eyes.
"The eyes are not the windows of the soul, they are the doors. Be aware of what may enter there," The Doctor replied softly.
Just then Amy noticed something on the recording. "Hey Rose, the recording lasts for four seconds right?"
"Yeah, so what?" Rose asked, staring at the Angel neck.
"What happens if we paused it just as the loop began?" Amy said, reaching for the remote.
Rose shrugged, being careful not to blink as her eyes started to water. "Can't hurt, but hurry it up will you?"
Amy took a deep breath, using shaking hands, she held up the remote as if it was a weapon. "One, two, three, FOUR!" as she counted down, she hit the pause button. The Angel froze before it became static and disappeared into thin air. Rose took a deep breath and hugged Amy tightly.
"You okay?" Rose asked softly.
Amy nodded shakily. "I froze it…. I actually froze it."
The Doctor ran in after the door opened and hugged Rose tightly. "You alright?" He asked.
Rose grinned. "Always alright. Amy smashed it. She paused the Angel and it disappeared," she replied, smiling at Amy proudly who blushed with embarrassment.
The Master pursed his lips. "Well, she should've thought about it earlier. The Angel has got a good look at you two. It's come out of it's cave now."
There was an explosion. Octavian came in and told them they were ready, as the three Time Lords left, River stopped and frowned when she Amy rubbing her eye.
"You alright?"
Amy nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah, I'm fine…. There's just something in my eye," she replied as River gave her one last concerned look before leaving. Amy frowned as she picked at the inner corner of her eye.
….
Rose never liked abseiling, rock climbing or anything to do with muscle when she was in school. Travelling with The Doctor, she learnt many things, and this was one of them. As Rose landed on a dirt covered floor, she looked around her to see soldiers gathering equipment, The Master surveying the building, picking up dirt and examining the walls and statues.
"Do we have a gravity globe?" The Doctor asked when he landed next to Rose.
"Grav globe?" Octavian called out to one of his troops.
Amy sighed as she rubbed her hands on her tights, looking around the cave in wonder. "Where are we? What's this place?" she asked Rose who shrugged.
River smirked as she landed next to Amy, playing with her device. "It's an Aplan Mortarium, sometimes called a Maze of the Dead," she replied.
Amy looked clueless. "What's that?"
The Doctor shrugged, holding what looked like a blue ball in his hands. "Well… if you were a creature made from stone and hiding…" he trailed off as he threw the 'ball' into the air. The room lit up with light to reveal millions of stone statues and the ship carved itself in the roof. "This would be the perfect hiding place," he continued.
"I guess this makes things a bit trickier," Octavian muttered.
The Master snorted. "Got it in one, mud monkey."
"Like a needle in a hay stack," River muttered, looking around in wonder.
"Pretty much," The Doctor agreed, taking Rose's hand.
"Right. Check every single statue in this chamber. You know what you're looking for. Complete visual inspection. One question. How do we fight it?" Octavian asked The Doctor.
"Hope… hope is the key," The Doctor replied as he walked off with Rose and Amy.
The Master sighed, shaking his head. "Hope is the only thing stronger then fear," he muttered before glancing behind his shoulder. He raised an eyebrow as he noticed that Octavian grabbed River's upper arm tightly, whispering harsh words. It made his blood boil as River looked at him frightened before whispering back and walked off angrily. If Rose didn't cure of him from the drums… well, lets just say that The Master would've probably done a lot more damage to Octavian than to lock him up in a tower to get beheaded.
When The Master caught up with River and Fire Cracker, he noticed Amy rubbing the corner of her eye before she jumped, staring frightfully at her hand. River frowned at The Master who shrugged before she walked up to Amy.
"You alright?" River asked cautiously.
Amy jumped, startled. She relaxed when she saw River. "Yeah… I'm fine…. So what's this Maze Of The Dead?" she asked mysteriously, looking around at the statues with her flashlight.
River sighed as she reached into her pocket and started to dig for something. "Oh it's not as bad as it sounds," she assured the red head. "It's just a labyrinth with dead people buried in the walls," she explained before pausing as Amy raised an eyebrow. "Okay, that was fairly bad. Right give me your arm. This won't hurt a bit." River held out a big needle before injecting into Amy's upper arm.
"OW!" Amy yelped making The Master smirk as he joined The Doctor and Rose.
River smirked before pulling it out. "See, I lied. It's a viro-stabiliser. Stabilizes your metabolism against radiation, drive burn, anything. You're going to need it when we get up to that ship."
"So what're they like?" Amy asked, indicating to the Time Lords. "Because you know them in the future, don't you?"
River's eyes widened before she shrugged. "What them? Well they're idiots who love danger," she replied.
Amy snorted in amusement. "Oh. Well, that's very helpful. Mind if I write that down?" she asked sarcastically.
To answer the question, River turned to the Time Lords. "Yes we are," she said loudly.
"What?" The Doctor asked, not even glancing up from the statues. Rose looked at River with pursed lips before whispering something to The Master who sighed and shook his head.
"Talking about you," River continued.
"Sorry… wasn't listening," The Doctor replied.
River smirked. "Ah… the other way up."
Amy turned to River in shock as The Doctor flipped the device the correct way. "You so know them."
River snorted. "Amy, Amy, Amy, this is The Doctor, The Wolf and The Master we're talking about. Do you think it could be anything but simple?"
Amy smirked. "Yep," she said confidently.
River sighed before rolling her eyes playfully. "You're good…. I'm not saying you're right. But you are very… good."
Amy just laughed as she looked at the statues.
….
Bang, Bang, Bang! The sound of gunfire made the group jump in shock and ran to the source. A young clerk had aimed his gun at one of the statues.
"Sorry! I thought, I thought it looked at me," the young clerk apologized, stammering slightly.
Octavian sighed heavily as he lowered his gun. "We know what the Angel looks like. Is that the Angel?" he asked.
The clerk shook his head quickly. "No sir."
Octavian nodded in agreement. "No, sir, it is not. According to the Doctor, we are facing an enemy of unknowable power and infinite evil, so it would be good, it would be very good, if we could all remain calm in the presence of décor."
"Give the Mud Monkey a break. He's obviously scared that we're facing a stone statue that can kill," The Master huffed in irritation.
"What's your name?" The Doctor asked curiously, leaning against one of the statues.
"Bob, Sir," the clerk replied.
"I always loved the name Bob. Hey Rose, our first child should be Bob," The Doctor said.
SMACK!
"What was that for?" The Doctor asked, holding his right cheek.
Rose huffed as she crossed her arms. "Being annoying," she muttered. There was no way The Doctor was discussing about their private life in front of strangers.
"It's a Sacred Name. We all have Sacred Names. They're given to us in the service of the Church," Octavian interrupted glancing between the Time Lords cautiously.
The Doctor smiled at Bob. "You're more like Scared Bob now," he commented.
Bob nodded. "Yes Sir…"
"Ah, good. Scared keeps you fast. Anyone in this room who isn't scared is a Dalek," The Doctor said, giving Octavian a pointed look. "Carry On."
The Time Lords and River left the chamber and started to climb the stairs. They didn't hear the notice that Octavian told Bob to stay where he was.
"Isn't there a chance this lot's just going to collapse? There's a whole ship up there," Amy pointed up as they climbed up a steep hill.
River laughed. "Incredible builders, the Aplans."
"Had dinner with their Chief Architect once. Two heads are better than one," The Doctor muttered absentmindedly.
Rose frowned. "You never told me that."
The Doctor shrugged. "Oh it happened within the first century, just after I left Gallifrey."
"What, you mean you helped him?" Amy asked, impressed as she glanced around at the statues.
The Doctor shook his head. "No, I mean he had two heads. That book, the very end, what did it say?" he asked River. "Read it out loud…"
River scrambled around in her pockets and pulled out the book, flipping through the pages. "What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us. The time of Angels…"
They continued to climb up the slope, towards the ship. Amy groaned as she moved her tired legs. She hadn't done this much climbing since High School!
"Are we there yet?" She asked and at The Master's irritated look she held up her hands in fake surrender. "It's a hell of a climb."
"The Maze is on six levels, representing the ascent of the soul. Only two levels to go," River explained gently.
"Then what, Hell or Heaven?" Rose asked.
"More like Hell to me," Amy muttered, making Rose smirk.
"Lovely species, the Aplans. We should visit them some time. Rose, remind me when we get back to the Tardis," The Doctor said as he glanced at the many statues.
Rose snorted. "What am I, your personal calendar?" she asked sarcastically.
The Doctor smirked as he turned his head to look at the human turned Time Lady he fell in love with. "You're more than that."
"But I thought they were all dead," Amy interrupted.
The Master shrugged. "Things are never dead when you've got a Time Machine."
River stood behind The Doctor, eyeing the statues warily. "Doctor, there's something… don't know what it is…"
The Doctor nodded. "Yeah, I know… working on it. Hey Rose, did you know that the Aplans had laws on self marrying? Even though they have two heads? Well that the church for you…. Um, no offence, Bishop," he apologized, looking at Octavian sheepishly.
Octavian pursed his lips tightly. "Quite a lot taken, if that's alright Doctor," he said as polite as he could before he led the way. He didn't see The Doctor pull a face and Rose giggling at the back of her hand. "Lowest point in the wreckage is only about fifty feet up from here. That way," he added.
Amy shrugged her shoulder. "The Church had a point, if you think about it," she said and at the confused look from The Master she smirked. "The divorces must have been messy," she explained as she walked off.
The Master smirked. "Great one Fire Cracker…. Ah, oh dear…" he trailed off as his eyes widened, staring at the statue.
Amy looked back at The Master with a raised eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
River looked confused as well until she stared at the statue. "Oh," she muttered, eyes widening.
The Master snorted. "Glad I'm not the only smart one here," he said sarcastically.
The Doctor rolled his eyes. "What are you lot talking about? I discovered it first!"
"Discovered what Sir?" Octavian asked.
"The Aplans," River explained.
Octavian raised his eyebrow. "The Aplans?" he repeated.
"They've got two heads, Mud Monkey," The Master elaborated, rolling his eyes.
"I get that… so?" Octavian pressed, glancing around at the statues.
"Why don't the statues?" The Doctor asked making Octavian's eyes widen in fear. "Everyone, over there. Don't ask questions and don't wonder off!"
Rose snorted, despite the tension. "Rule number one."
"The one rule that you somehow always fail at my love," The Doctor argued, making Rose glare at him as everyone crowded around them. "Now everyone switch off your torches."
"Sir?" Octavian asked doubtfully.
"Do it," The Doctor said and when the torches went off one by one he sighed. "Now I'm going to turn this one off. Only for a little bit."
"Are you sure about this?" River interrupted.
The Doctor bit his lip. "Well no. But there is only one way to find out," he said and turned off the torch. A second later, the light came back on again, only this time the statues were all in different positions.
Amy gasped. "Oh my God, they've moved," she muttered as she turned on her torch light.
The Doctor quickly examined each individual as he moved throughout the chamber with Rose and The Master behind him. "They're Angels…. All of them…"
"They can't be," River argued, running with Amy to catch up with the Time Lords.
Rose shrugged. "Well, they've all moved."
"Monkey Soldiers! Eyes on the statues, no blinking!" The Master barked.
The Doctor gasped for breath as he reached the end of the chamber. "The statues are Weeping Angels. Bad news, they're coming after us."
Rose laughed nervously. "And the good news?" she asked, staring at a small statue.
There was a bit of silence for a moment while The Doctor pounded that thought. "Haven't thought of it yet. I will though," he muttered.
….
They grouped into another chamber with less statues. The Master was crouching down, examining the dirt around a statue that looked like it fell down while The Doctor was staring at the statue.
"But there was only one Angel on the ship. Just the one, I swear," River said quickly, looking over her shoulder to see Rose staring at the entrance corridor where they came from.
"Could they have been here already?" Amy asked.
"How did the Aplans die out?" Rose interrupted, not moving from her spot.
"No one knows," River replied.
The Doctor snorted. "We know," he muttered.
"They don't look like Angels," Octavian pointed out.
Amy nodded in agreement. "And they're not fast. You said they were fast. They should have had us by now."
"That because they're dying. Have been for centuries and cos of that, their losing their form," The Doctor explained.
"And their image," Amy added.
"And that image is their power, without it they would be slugs," The Master added.
The Doctor turned quickly. "Power? Did you just say power?"
The Master raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, why?"
"Don't you lot see? It was staring at us in the face," The Doctor said.
Rose's eyes widened as she moved away from the entrance. "The crash wasn't an accident," she realized.
The Doctor smirked. "Exactly Rose. It was a rescue mission. The Angels are draining the power from the ship remember? And why is that?"
"To grow stronger?" Amy asked and The Doctor nodded.
River sucked in a breath. "We need to get out of here fast."
Octavian grabbed out his walkie talkie. "Bob, Angelo, Christian, come in, please. Any of you, come in"
There was no response for a few minutes until the walkie talkie crackled with static. "It's Bob, sir. Sorry, sir."
"Bob, are Angelo and Christian with you? All the statues are active. I repeat, all the statues are active," Octavian said urgently.
"I know, sir. Angelo and Christian are dead, sir. The statues killed them, sir," Bob said and the room fell deadly silent.
The Doctor walked up and grabbed the walkie talkie off of Octavian. "Hey Bob, it's me The Doctor. Where are you now?"
Octavian clenched his teeth together in frustration. "I am trying to talk to my…"
The Doctor sighed. "Yeah I know and this is important!" he said sharply.
"I'm on my way up to you, sir. I'm homing in on your signal," Bob replied.
The Doctor grinned. "See what did I tell you? Fear motivated the best of us, but tell me Bob, what did the Angel do to your friends?"
"Snap their necks Sir."
Rose frowned. "But that's not the traditional way Angels kill. They send you back in time. Martha and I went to 1969," she pointed out.
Octavian snatched the walkie talkie back from The Doctor. "Bob, did you check their data packs for vital signs? We may be able to initiate a rescue plan…"
The Master rolled his eyes, he was now leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. "Are you an idiot, Mud Monkey? Didn't you listen to Barbie? They don't leave bits behind!"
"I didn't escape, sir. The Angel killed me, too."
Everyone's eyes widened as they processed what Bob said. The Doctor and Octavian looked at each other before The Doctor grabbed the walkie talkie back from the Bishop.
"What do you mean the Angel killed you too?" The Doctor repeated.
"Snapped my neck, sir. Wasn't as painless as I expected, but it was pretty quick, so that was something," Bob replied.
The Doctor pursed his lips together. "Then how am I talking to you?"
"You're not talking to me, sir. The Angel has no voice. It stripped my cerebral cortex from my body and re-animated a version of my consciousness to communicate with you. Sorry about the confusion," Bob said making everyone except The Master look at each other with sadness and disgust. The Master looked interested.
"Don't even think about it!" Rose and The Doctor shouted together at The Master.
The Master held up his hands in fake surrender. "I wasn't doing anything!"
"You were thinking about something disturbing. It's really annoying," Rose muttered, rolling her eyes.
"So when you say you're on the way up…" The Doctor asked, trailing off.
"It's the Angel that's coming, sir, yes."
Octavian sprung into action. "We can get out through the wreckage," he suggested.
The Doctor nodded. "Then that's where we go," he agreed. After the soldiers, Amy, River, Rose and The Master left, The Doctor turned to Octavian. "Sorry, I was rude before and The Master shouldn't have called you an idiot."
Octavian pursed his lips tightly. "That's alright Sir. But just remember that when you and your friends fly away in your little blue box, I'll be telling the victims families that they died," he said as he walked off.
The Doctor was quiet for a moment. When he was sure that he was alone, he spoke into the walkie talkie. "Angel Bob, am I talking to the one on the ship?"
"Yes, sir. And the other Angels are still restoring,"
The Doctor smirked. "Thanks for that," he said before he ran off. He barely noticed Amy and The Master until he slowed down. "Why are you waiting for me? Run."
"Because apparently she can't," The Master replied.
The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"
Amy laughed nervously. "Cos look at it! Look at my hand, it's stone!"
The Doctor shone his torch light into her eyes. "You stared into the eyes of an Angel. I thought I told you not to!"
"I couldn't stop myself, I tried," Amy said.
"Your hand is not made of stone," The Doctor told her.
Amy growled. "Yes it is! Look at it!" She shouted.
"No it isn't," The Master said, poking her fleshy hand with his finger.
"It's in your mind. Like you're under a spell, well not quite the idea, but… anyway, you can move your hand!" The Doctor added.
Amy rolled her eyes. "I can't, okay? I've tried and I can't. It's stone."
The Master huffed in irritation. "Well hate to brake to you Fire Cracker, but the Angel will come, blow up the torches and kill us all. So move that hand!"
"I can't!" Amy said through grounded teeth.
"Then we're all gonna die," The Doctor replied.
Amy scoffed. "You two aren't going to die," she snapped before going quiet as she turned to stare at the Angels that were approaching them. "You've got to go. Both of you. You've got Rose, Doctor! And Master, you've got all that stuff with River. You both can't die here!"
The Doctor shook his head, eyes firmly on the Angels in front of them. "Time can be rewritten Amy. Keep your eyes on them, don't blink."
"Run!" Amy shouted, her eyes planted on the Angels.
The Master scoffed. "The idiot wouldn't leave you behind, with his hero complex he has going on."
"Then why are you staying?" Amy retorted.
The Master opened his mouth to respond but shut it after a moment and scowled. "Touché, Fire Cracker."
"And we're not leaving you here," The Doctor added quickly.
"I don't need you to die for me, Doctor, do I look that clingy?" Amy asked.
The Master shrugged. "Move your hand then."
"It's stone!" Amy growled.
"It's not stone!" The Doctor and The Master said together.
Amy bit her lip. "Those people up there will die without you. If you stay here with me, you'll have as good as killed them," she said quietly.
"Alright Fire Cracker, if it's what you want," The Master replied shrugging his shoulders carelessly.
"WHAT!" The Doctor shouted, glaring at him. "I knew you haven't changed," he added with a scowl.
"What? I'm sorry, but if she's turning to stone then I'm not hanging around here," The Master replied.
Amy nodded. "It's what I want. You have to leave me," she said quietly.
The Master snorted. "Get real Fire Cracker, you're coming with me," he said.
"OW!" Amy shouted, wrenching her hand from the rail. She looked at her hand before staring at The Master in shock. "You bit me!"
The Master shrugged, walking ahead. "And you're alive."
"Bloody hell, I got a mark look at my hand!"
"And you're alive," The Master repeated.
"Do you have space teeth or something?" Amy wondered as she was shoved behind The Doctor.
The Master snorted. "We're aliens Fire Cracker. Of course we've got space teeth," he replied as they ran down the corridor.
They slowed down as they heard voices in a chamber.
"The statues are advancing along all corridors. And, sir, my torch keeps flickering."
"They all do," Octavian replied.
"And so does the gravity globe," River added.
"Clerics, we're down to four men. Expect incoming," Octavian instructed.
The Doctor looked at Amy and The Master before walking in. "The Angels are coming and are gonna drain every single power cell from the ship and will leave us in complete darkness."
"Which means we won't be able to see them," Octavian realized, eyes widening.
"So we can't stay here," The Doctor replied.
"So what's the plan?" Rose asked, staring at the ship that was above their heads.
"The statues are advancing on all sides and we don't have the climbing equipment to reach the Byzantium," Octavian replied.
River nodded in agreement. "There's no way up, no way back, no way out. No pressure, but this is usually when you lot have really good ideas," she said, staring at the Time Lords with a pointed look.
"There's always a way out, we just need to find it," The Doctor muttered, looking at the entrances which were blocked by clerics who were looking at the Angels. The lights were flickering on and off as the Angels moved closer to them.
"Doctor? Can I speak to the Doctor, please?" Angel Bob asked over the radio.
The Doctor pulled out the radio out of his trench coat. "Hey Angel Bob, how may I help you?"
"Your power will not last much longer, and the Angels will be with you shortly. Sorry, sir," Angel Bob replied.
"Why are you telling me this?" The Doctor asked, still looking around.
"There's something the Angels are very keen you should know before the end."
"What's that exactly?"
"I died in fear."
The Doctor raised his eyebrow. "Sorry? Died in fear?"
"You told me my fear would keep me alive but I died afraid, in pain and alone. You made me trust you, and when it mattered, you let me down."
There was a moment of silence as everyone stared at The Doctor nervously. Amy turned to look at Rose.
"What are they doing?" she asked, whispering.
"Trying to piss off a Time Lord," Rose replied. "That's the worst thing they could do."
"I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to know that," AngelBob said in fake sadness.
The Doctor pursed his lips tightly before speaking again. "I'm sorry Bob. I'm sorry that you had to die in fear. But I promise you this, that whatever is left of you, the Angels will pay."
"But you're trapped, sir, and about to die."
"Yeah, trapped. A trap that can be sprung if the perfect plan is in place," The Doctor argued. "And you lot made a big mistake."
"What mistake, Sir?" Angel Bob asked confused.
The Doctor turned to The Master who gave him a pointed look. "You remember the plan you made up when we were in the Academy and wanted to skip class for the day?"
The Master raised an eyebrow. "Of course I remember it."
"Do you want to do the honour?" The Doctor asked, smirking.
The Master smirked back. "With pleasure."
"What's going on?" Amy interrupted, looking between the two male Time Lords.
The Doctor's smirk widened. "We're gonna spring the trap. Do you trust me?"
Amy nodded. "Yeah," she replied.
The Doctor turned to Rose. "I suppose you're in?"
Rose smiled. "Did you really ask that? After all we're Hope and Glory, Mutt and Jeff, Shiver and Shake."
The Doctor laughed. "I'm Shake," he said, chuckling before turning to River. "Trust me?"
"Always," River said immediately.
The Doctor turned to Octavian. "Do you lot trust me?"
Octavian paused as he looked between the Angels and his men before turning to The Doctor. "We have faith, Sir."
The Doctor nodded before holding out his hand. "Give me your gun."
Octavian looked concerned as he reached into his gun holster and pulled it out, handing it to The Doctor. The Doctor looked at it before handing to The Master. "Sir, what are you doing?" Octavian blurted out.
"Something stupid and dangerous, very worthy of a Gryffindor and something I'll no doubt regret later. When The Master gives you the signal, jump," The Doctor explained.
"Jump wear?" Octavian asked, confused.
"As high as you can, the leap of faith and trust in God. Now wait for the signal," The Doctor replied.
"What signal?"
"Oh trust me, you won't be able to miss it," The Master said, smirking as he turned off the safety after checking how many bullets were loaded. He aimed it high above his head, towards the gravity globe.
"Sorry, can I ask again? You mentioned a mistake?" Angel Bob interrupted through the radio.
The Doctor continued to smirk. "The worst decision of your life Bob. See The Master and I are over nine hundred years old. I defeated the Daleks, destroyed Gallifrey and saved the universe all in one night. And let me tell you, you should never trap the big bad wolf and two Time Lord Genius's in a room with humans. That is your big mistake."
"What mistake Sir?"
The Doctor glared at the gravity globe. "You trapped The Oncoming Storm and The Master of Time is your biggest mistake, and you're gonna pay," he growled before turning to The Master and nodded.
The Master pulled the trigger and the gravity globe exploded, leaving them all in complete darkness.
