A Time Lord And Lady
After they left the bedroom, Jack suggested they switch on the TV to see if the earlier events down town had been reported on the news.
They switched the TV on and switched the channels until they found a news channel. Jack paused and left the channel on when he found a news channel. They listened as the events from earlier on down town were mentioned.
Jackie screamed and the three of them jump back from the TV when the news caster was suddenly attacked by some kind of alien life form.
They suddenly had to grab hold of each other when the flat shook around them. They ducked when the window in the living room shattered.
Jack quickly detangled him self from the other two. He then went to the window and looked out.
He frowned when he noticed there was more glass on the pavement down below. More glass then the living room window had consisted of.
He turned to the others and told them "I'm going to go out and see what's going on." Mickey nodded and told him "I'm coming with you."
Jackie added "me to, I don't fancy being alone in here, especially after what we just saw." Jack nodded and gestured for them to follow him outside.
Once outside they noticed not only had Jackie's front window gone through, everyone's had also.
They suddenly looked up when they noticed many people were starting to leave their flats. Most were dressed in pyjamas.
They watched as said people began to walk towards a certain destination; they appeared to be in some kind of trance.
They weren't responding to their partners who were unaffected and were following them trying to stop them from going any further. But it was of no use, they continued on.
Jackie gasped as she looked up. Jack and Mickey followed her gaze. For there in the sky looming dauntingly over the estate was a huge space ship.
Jack groaned "ah fuck it. I don't believe it, of all times for there to be an alien invasion on Earth. And the Doctor and Rose aren't even conscious."
He glared balefully at the ship. And quickly made his way back up the stairs then into the flat, Jackie and Mickey followed him.
Jack told them "we cannot stay here; it is not safe, especially with the Doctor out of commission. We need to get both he and Rose onto the TARDIS right now."
The three of them headed for the bedroom, where the Doctor and Rose were still unconscious. They were dressed in pyjamas Jackie had put them in earlier on.
She had blushed like a school girl when she stripped the Doctor down to his under wear and then placed him in her boy friends pyjamas.
Jack said "quickly put some slippers on their feet in case they come to. Rose and the Doctor will surely piss and moan if there bared footed, no matter the circumstances"
So Jackie put her boy friends slippers on the Doctor and placed a pair of Roses old slippers she had left behind, on her feet.
Once that was done, Jackie and Mickey lifted the Doctor, Mickey taking most of the Doctors weight, while Jack scooped Rose up into his arms.
Jack then lead then outside. Jackie managed to reached out and close the flat door behind them. She then placed her keys in her track suit bottoms pocket.
They quickly as possible headed for the TARDIS that was parked near by thankfully, so they did not have far too go.
Jack struggled for a moment before he placed his key in the lock and opened the TARDIS. Once inside they placed Rose and the Doctor on the floor.
Mickey secured the door closed, while Jackie checked on Rose and the Doctor. And Jack was at the main console.
Jack suddenly swore loudly. Mickey and Jackie looked up questioningly at the irate ex- time agent.
Jack growled "the alien wanker's have jammed the TARDIS'S controls. We can't move. In short we're screwed thank you very much."
No sooner had he finished speaking the TARDIS'S engines started up. Jack frowned and said "I did not just switch the TARDIS'S engines on."
Mickey frowned "well if you didn't then who the bloody hell did?" Before Jack could answer, the TARDIS lurched forward violently. They had to grab hold of the nearest solid part of the TARDIS to remain up right and standing.
Suddenly the TARDIS door was flung open and two of the most butt assed ugliest creatures Jackie had ever seen pulled her and Jack and Mickey out of the TARDIS.
Thankfully Rose and the Doctor went unnoticed, they having been in the far corner of the TARDIS out of view.
When the others were dragged out side, they immediately noticed the Prime Minister Harriet Jones was also there, obviously having been taken as well.
Her male assistant was with her as well, and was translating what was being said by means of some high-tech translating device.
Jack turned on the charm trying to out smart their captors. It was of no use, his charm fell through.
Just as he and the others were starting to panic, they all turned when they heard the TARDIS'S door open.
Jack grinned like an idiot when the Doctor and Rose stepped out of the TARDIS in their pyjamas looking better then they had in hours.
For some reason or other, it appeared the Doctor and Rose was over the regeneration recovery process.
Unknown to Jack and the others, that the TARDIS had some how helped revive and clear up the worst of the regeneration process for the Doctor and Rose.
The Doctor asked with a sharp edge to his voice "did you miss us?" Rose looked decidedly amused and a little smug. She commented dryly "so what exactly did we miss here?"
It was then that the Prime minister, Jackie and Mickey joined Jack, smiling widely in relief. The Sycorax leader was livid.
The Minister was shocked to discover the Doctor was not the one she remembered, he in fact was younger, and extremely handsome if she did say so her self.
Then there was Rose, whom she remembered being blond brown eyed and with a London based accent.
But here she now stood with slightly different facial features, longer and red curly hair and green eyes, that could never be considered a shade she had seen any human with. And of course she was also sporting a Scottish accent.
What had happened to the Doctors young companion? She wondered. She nodded to the Doctor who nodded in return.
The Sycorax leader unleashed a deadly electrical based whip. He aimed it at the Doctor and Rose. The Doctor caught the whip, and snapped it in half over his raised knee.
So the Sycorax leader lunged at the Doctor and Rose, his sword drawn and ready for battle. The Doctor told Rose to go and check on the others while he dealt the with the Sycorax leader.
They both bolted out of the way and went in opposite directions when the Sycorax leader came at them at full speed.
Jackie hugged her daughter, while the Doctor ran further into the cave pissing off the Sycorax into a rage.
The Doctor quickly leaped and landed in near a large red rounded button. He slammed his hand down upon it.
The Sycorax was fuming. He had now lost the mind control over the people all over the world who were all standing on top of various buildings about to walk off of the roof. They all shook their heads disoriented and stepped back from the roofs edge.
The Sycorax raged and lunged at the Doctor, he ran and snagged the sword of one of the near by resident Sycorax's.
He then bent down on one knee the sword balanced in front of him, the Sycorax leader followed suit and mirrored his kneeling stance.
They then rose, and then they were off, swords clashing against each other as they rapidly moved around the cave.
The Doctor bolted needing more room and less people and aliens in his way. He ran until he saw a closed off opening. He spotted a button on the wall near by and slammed his hand against it.
A door began to raise the Doctor ducked under it and ran outside, the Sycorax followed close behind. The Doctor quickly noticed they were on a huge cliff.
Rose, Jack and Harriet were followed by Mickey and Jackie, as they all ran outside and stood near the entrance to the cave, watching the fight.
They continued on fighting, until the Sycorax leader knocked the Doctor off of his feet. The Doctor landed dangerously close to the edge.
The Sycorax brought his sword down before the Doctor could react, and chopped of his hand. The Doctor watch horrified as his hand felt with the sword several thousand feet below.
The Doctor kicked out tripping the Sycorax's feet from under him, making him land on his back hard.
The Doctor then stood, and lifted his handless arm and smirked as a new hand instantly grew back, some of the golden regeneration mist surrounding it for a few seconds in the process.
The Sycorax leader got his feet, making both the Doctor and Rose realise he was at a disadvantage, the Doctor had no sword, while the Sycorax leader did.
Rose acted fast, putting some of her new reflexes and strength to use. She elbowed one of the Sycorax's in the face before spinning around and sending a kick to his head, knocking him unconscious as he hit the floor.
She then snagged his sword and threw it to the Doctor who grinned and nodded in thanks and continued the fight.
Jackie and Mickey looked at Rose in amazement, while Jack grinned and nodded knowingly.
Mickey asked "where the hell did you learn to fight like that? You just totally took that creep out."
Rose smirked "courtesy of the Doctor in his previous incarnation. He taught me and Jack some martial arts."
They turned back to the fight that was still on going, but was just about reaching its peak. They watched as the Doctor spun on his heel and swung the sword in an arch, aiming dangerously close to the Sycorax's head, making him duck out of the way, in less lose his head.
They watched as he used the handle of the sword and smashed it with Gallifreyan force into the Sycorax's jaw.
He then ducked and used his foot to sweep the Sycorax's feet from under him, so he found him self on his back once more.
The Doctor threateningly held the swords blade to the Sycorax's throat and said in a dangerously calm voice.
"I want you gone, I want you to take your self and your friends and take your ship, and get the hell off of Earth. You have lost and more then out stayed your welcome."
He then removed the sword from the Sycorax's throat. He then turned on his heel and brought the sword down hard, burying the tip of the sword in the ground.
Rose and the others cheered and came running towards him. The Doctor turned to Rose and reached inside one of the pockets on the dressing gown he was wearing, and brought out an orange.
He frowned and asked "why exactly is there an orange in here? Does the owner of this" he plucked at the dressing gown "often carry food, fruit in particularly, in his night clothes?"
Rose laughed and smiled brightly and nodded "yeah, my mum's boy friend has been known to get hungry during the night, hence the orange in his dressing gown."
The Doctor and Rose faltered mid step when they heard the others gasp. Without turning around the Doctor sighed and threw the orange with extra force at a large red button in the middle of the wall opposite them.
The orange hit the button dead on target. This caused apart of the cliff to give away, sending the Sycorax leader off over the edge, and plunging to his death thousands of feet below."
The Doctor shook his head and commented "No second chances, especially not to the likes of him who don't deserve it or haven't earned it."
Everyone heard him say this, and knew how serious he was being. He meant all he said that much was evident.
The Doctor talked to the next in command of the Sycorax and agreed to get them to leave peacefully, as their leader had been defeated. Now that they realised the Doctor was not to be underestimated.
They dropped the Doctor and Rose along with the TARIDS and everyone else back on Earth.
Just as they were leaving and everyone was celebrating the Sycorax ship blew up. The Doctor and the others stared horrified.
The Doctors horror soon turned into rage. He turned on his heel and faced the Prime Minister who was just finishing with a phone call. It was obviously in concerns to the Sycorax's ship being blown up.
He glared teeth bared and spat out between clenched teeth. "What the bloody hell do you think your doing Prime Minister?"
He dragged a hand through his hair irritably as she replied "doing what was required." The Doctor looked ready to hit something or someone.
He growled out angrily "they were leaving, they were bloody leaving. Jesus Christ, you just committed genocide."
He riled "you doing that, it has just proven us to be no better then the Sycorax. What's next Prime Minister? Are you going to blow every alien life form up that tries to invade earth, or merely visits?"
He spat out sarcastically "well, congratulations Minister, you have just proven to the world that aliens exist, when in the past the unit has managed to cover up such invasions."
He sighed angrily "humans and Earth in general were not ready or equipped to deal with the fact we are truly not alone in the universe."
Harriet replied indignantly "not ready you say? Well I guess you as one of us is not ready either Doctor."
The Doctor snorted and replied cynically. "Why Prime minister that is where I believe you to be wrong, very wrong indeed."
He smirked "tell me Minister. Last time you saw me did I or did I not have a whole and entirely different body? You know bigger ears, bigger nose, and shorter hair. And oh yes and a Northern accent."
He smirked widened as her eyes widened in realisation. He went on "did you not just see the Sycorax leader cut off my hand?
Did you not watch it grow back within mere seconds?" He mockingly waved the hand in question in her face.
He smiled coldly and finished "such a wound would have surely killed me; I would have surly died from blood loss alone, if it had not been for the fact I am a nine hundred year-old alien, minister. Gallifreyan to be more precise" he added.
He raised an eye brow as she watched stunned as he turned on his heel with one last cold look in her direction.
He then walked over to Harriet's right hand man. He remove the ear piece from the younger mans ear, causing him to frown at the Doctor nervously.
The Doctor whispered for only him to hear. "Don't you think she looks tiered?" The younger mans frowned deepened, but he had no reply to give.
Harriet looked alarmed and called out "Doctor what did you say?" he merely ignored her and continued on head as if she hadn't even spoken.
Harriet turned to her assistant and asked frantically "what did he say, tell me?" The young man shrugged uncomfortably and replied "nothing, he didn't say anything."
The Doctor turned to the others and noticed they were staring at him stunned, or at least Jackie and Mickey were. Rose and Jack on the other hand were looking at him knowingly and worriedly.
The walked on a head ignoring Harriet as she screamed out "DOCTOR WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Not once did anyone of them bother to look back.
She murmured remorsefully "I'm sorry. She stood there continuing to watch until they were out of sight.
As the Doctor and others walked back to the flat, Jackie opened her mouth to question the Doctor, when he held up his hand stalling her.
"I promise I and Rose will tell you everything as soon as we've both changed and checked on the TARDIS."
Jackie nodded reluctantly. And then led Jack and Mickey back up to the flat, and called out over her shoulder.
"When you two are ready I'll have something resembling Christmas dinner ready." Rose and the Doctor nodded and made their way towards the TARDIS.
