A/N: Okay, I have to be honest, I thought I had actually posted this last week, and realised that I hadn't when I went to post the next chapter yesterday. I'm so sorry guys!

Kari was sitting on the cold stone floor, Kalerrah wrapped tightly in her arms. They had been sitting there for hours, waiting for the humans to come and see to them. The child had fallen asleep some time ago, and Kari just didn't want to let him go. She could see just how frightened he was of everything and he had every right to be.

He had seen those humans kill his parents and his sister, and he should have been next. She still didn't understand why he was so important, why that one child could win them a war that never should have happened in the first place.

After a little while he started to stir, mumbling and becoming a little restless. "Hey, you're okay, Kalerrah, everything will be okay." She whispered to him, holding him a little tighter.

"Have they come?" The little boy asked her.

Kari gave him a sad smile. "Not yet. Looks like we may need a change of tactic. We're going to have to get their attention. But you know what to do, yeah?" Kalerrah nodded at her. "Okay, so we stick to the plan, yeah?"

They waited for a little while longer, just in case they were going to come, but they didn't. "Time to get this show on the road." Kari whispered to him, before charging up the stone steps and banging on the door at the top.

Kari took a deep breath before she started shouting. "Help! Someone help!" She cried. "Please, the little boy… he won't wake up. Please, you have to help!" Kari carried on banging on the door as hard as she could, making sure to keep herself in a panicked state.

A moment later the door flew open and one of the guards stood there, gun in hand and looked at Kari. "Please, the little boy, he won't wake up. I tried, I don't know what to do anymore, he just won't wake up." Kari cried, before running down the steps and to where Kalerrah was lying on the cold ground. "Please, you have to help."

The guard just looked at her. "What do you mean, he won't wake up?"

"I can't wake him up. He fell asleep a few hours ago. I… I don't think he's breathing." Kari said, a few tears beginning to form in her eyes. "You have to help him." She said, grabbing onto his arm and giving him her most desperate and hopeless look.

So far everything was going to plan. The guard looked down at where Kalerrah was lying, completely still. "Oi, kid? Wake up." The Guard said, nudging him with his foot. "Kid?"

"You have to do something." Kari told him, preparing herself for her next move. They really only had one shot at this, and if it went wrong, well they would just have to do what the Doctor usually done, make it up as they go along.

As Kari suspected, he put his gun down on the ground, without really thinking about it, to check the boy over. "Come on kid, you need to wake up now. The boss is not going to be happy if you die now."

"He… he can't be dead." Kari said, putting a hand over her mouth and taking a step back. The guard got down closer to Kalerrah, trying to determine if he was breathing or not. While the guard was distracted, she carefully bent down, and as quietly as she could, she wrapped her fingers around the large gun.

To say she was nervous was an understatement, she was holding and gun and about to threaten someone with it. The day really wasn't turning out how she had hoped it would. She slowly moved forward and pushed the gun into the man's back. "Okay, play time is over." Kari said, trying to sound menacing.

The guard let out a sigh. "You tricked me. There's nothing wrong with him, is there?"

"Nope. Now, I'd like your radio as well as the keys please." She said, just as Kalerrah opened his eyes. She watched as the man slowly reached for his radio, unclipping it from his uniform and dropping it on the ground before tossing the keys down as well. "Thank you for your cooperation." Kari said, as the young boy picked them both up.

"You won't get far. The moment they see you, they will shoot you. You haven't got a chance out there." The guard told her.

"I think we'll risk it. It has to be better than being locked up in here. And beside, I have a secret weapon." Kari told him, letting a grin stretch across her face. "Come on, Kalerrah, let's get out of here." She said, holding her hand out for him to take.

As soon as he was holding it, the pair of them ran up the stairs and to the door, which the guard had stupidly left open. Kari carefully poked her head out, hoping that there were no more guards around. "Stay behind me at all times, and do not let go of my hand for anything in the universe, okay?" Kalerrah nodded at her. "Great. I just hope this is going to work now that we are out of that room." She said, pulling out her sonic screwdriver.

Kari pointed it at the radio, and let out a sigh of relief as it finally started working. After rendering the radio completely useless, she chucked it to the ground, having no further need for it. She looked down at the gun in her hand, not really knowing what to do with it. She knew she would never use it, but was she going to need it as some kind of reassurance?

"What's wrong?" Kalerrah asked, noticing that she had just drifted off into her own little world.

"Not a big fan of guns, but I'm not sure if we should take it or not." Kari admitted, looking down at the boy.

He just smiled at her. "We don't need it. I have you and you have me."

Kari couldn't help but smile back at him. "Right, but lets make sure that no one else can use it either, yeah?" She told him, before taking out her screwdriver once more and using it to jam the firing mechanism. "Okay, that should do it. So what do you say, Kalerrah? Shall we get the hell out of here?" She asked him, giving him her best smile.

"Yes please." He replied, beaming away at her. That was all Kari needed to see, and she had to determination to get both of them out of there alive.

The Doctor stood there in front of one of the Karleons that had been affected by the nanovirus. He could tell just by looking at their eyes that something was wrong with them. The eyes of the one he was looking at was all back, and nothing else. There was no colour at all, unlike everyone else, just black.

"This is Melirre, he lost his family when the humans came. He has many reasons to want revenge on the humans that have arrived here." Lagerra told him sadly as he stood to the side.

"The virus wasn't his fault, it manipulated his brain, changed him. It was created to cause pain and suffering to anyone who was infected with it." The Doctor told him, fiddling with his sonic screwdriver. "But once they are deactivated, he should be fine."

"Doctor, are you sure about this?" Amy asked, stepping over to him and trying not to bite her thumb nail any longer. "I mean, what if it doesn't work?"

"I've already programmed my screwdriver, it's on the same frequency I used to disable the nanovirus coming from the canister." The Doctor assured her. "It's perfectly safe."

"Are you sure, Doctor? Have you really thought this through properly?" Amy asked. It was clear that she was worried something was going to go wrong, and that the Doctor wasn't really in the best frame of mind. He was still worrying about Kari, and that meant his mind was fully focused on the problem at hand. "What if it doesn't work?"

The Doctor stopped and turned to face her. "Amy, trust me, it will work."

"I'm sure the Doctor knows what he's doing, Amy." Roy said, stepping up so that he was standing beside her and taking a hold of her hand. "Just let him do his thing."

The Doctor smiled at him a little. "Thanks, Rory. Okay, now this is it." He said, holding up his sonic screwdriver in front of him and at the man with the pure black eyes.

He flicked it on, the end glowed green and the familiar humming and whirring noise filled the room. Melirre just looked at him, his eyes still black and empty. It was starting to freak Amy and Rory out a little, so they both took a step back.

The pitch of the Doctor's screwdriver rose, and the man before him began to growl a little. As the pitch rose some more, so did the growling. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath, waiting for something to happen. Amy was clasping onto Rory's hand tightly as they both kept their distance from the chained up man.

"You're okay, Melirre. Just relax, everything is going to be just fine." The Doctor said, before his screwdriver let out an ear piercing shrill. The man fell to his knees, screaming in agony. After a few more moments, the Doctor turned his screwdriver off. "Melirre? Are you okay?" The Doctor called, bending down and getting to the man's level.

He lifted his head up and looked at the Doctor. His black eyes were slowly changing, flecks of grey becoming visible more and more. "I don't… What… what happened?" Melirre asked, clutching hold of his head slightly.

"Do you remember what happened, Melirre?" Lagerra asked him softly, placing a hand on the man's shoulder.

"I… I know I shouldn't have done it, but I went to see it. I just wanted to look at it, to see what it was. I didn't know what it was." Melirre said, shaking a little. "What happened? Where are my wife and the children?"

Lagerra got down to his level, crouching on the ground so that their eyes met. "I'm sorry. They have gone now." He whispered. Melirre broke down in tears, and let out a roar as Lagerra tried his best to comfort him.

Doctor took that as his chance to step away a little, letting Lagerra explain what had happened. It was a sad sight to see, he had no recollection of what happened after he had been infected, and no clue as to the death of his family.

"Doctor? Did it work?" Amy asked as he came over to where she was standing, still clutching hold of Rory's hand.

He let out a sigh. "Yes, it worked. I can reverse the effects on all of them, but it is going to take too long. I have to go around to every single one of them, and who knows how many there are." The Doctor told her.

"Can't you just… I don't know, put the screwdriver against a microphone and have it connected up to speakers everywhere or something?" Amy asked, trying to be as helpful as she could.

"Amy, this is a very specific sonic frequency. You can't just replicate it though anything, it will distort it." The Doctor told her. "It needs to be perfect for it to work, otherwise… well, I'm not sure what would happen."

"Okay, so what do we do now?" Rory wondered. "You know how to cure them all, we just need to find something that can send out that… sound, right?"

"Exactly, but I'd need to send it over the whole of the planet, we don't know if any others fell somewhere else." The Doctor told him, ruffling his hair in frustration. "I need something big, powerful, something that can…" Suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Doctor? Doctor, what is it?" Amy asked, knowing that look. It was the look that he got when he had a plan, and she really hoped he had a plan now.

"Amy, you are brilliant!" He explained, kissing the top of her head. "Rory, you're brilliant as well." Doing the same thing to him. "I can do it, all we need is the TARDIS. She can easily send the signal out across the planet and everyone should go back to normal."

"Well, what are we still standing here for?" Amy asked. "Lets go."

He turned and saw Lagerra and Melirre standing behind them "I know how to stop this, how to kill the virus. But I need to get back to my ship."

"You need your TARDIS?" Lagerra asked, causing the Doctor to nod at him. "Then I shall come with you and show you the way.

"And then, we get Kari." He announced, his voice full of determination. The Doctor didn't care what it took anymore, he was going to save his Kari and end the war.

Kari had herself pushed up against as wall as she cautiously looked around the corner. Kalerrah was still holding onto her hand tightly. He had not once let go and he didn't plan to either. "Okay, it's clear, lets go." She said, before slowly creeping out of their hiding place and down the empty corridor.

They were almost at the end when they began to hear voices and feet pounding on the ground coming their way. Kari's eyes darted around and she spotted a door. After quickly glancing inside to check that it was safe for them, they rushed inside.

"I can't believe he fell for it. It's the oldest trick in the book." Kari heard someone say as they ran past the room they were in.

"I think our absence has been noticed." She told Kalerrah nervously. She had been trying so hard to find a way out, and it was only thanks to the young boy with her that they had managed to get so far.

"We're nearly there now. The end of the corridor, turn left and carry on to the big doors." Kalerrah told her. Somehow he seemed to know every corridor and every room in the building, which had surprised Kari slightly.

"Right, end of corridor, turn left, big doors. Got it." Kari said, getting ready to open the door and check the coast was clear again. "We may have to run, do you think you can manage that, Kalerrah?"

He nodded at her. "I run fast." He said proudly.

"Great. Thanks to the Doctor, I'm always running, so I'm not too bad myself these days." She replied, giving him a smile. "You ready?" He nodded once more and she opened he door a crack. Her eyes quickly swept up and down the corridor, and her ears strained to find any sounds that could be someone approaching. "Come on."

She opened the door some more, and they both rushed out. They started off walking at a hurried pace, which soon turned into a jog. By the time they reached the end of the corridor they were starting to run.

They turned left, as Kalerrah had instructed, and Kari finally recognised where they were. It was the same corridor that she had last walked down with the Doctor and her friends. And then it dawned on her, that was the same room that she had hidden in before with her friends.

"There's the doors." Kalerrah called in excitement, as he spotted the large wooden doors finally coming into sight. "We made it."

"Not yet we haven't." Kari reminded him as they carried on running.

They were almost at the door, just a few yards away from it when a soldier stepped out of nowhere and blocked their path. Kari recognised her in an instant, the same person who had taken her away from the Doctor. The someone that had locked her away.

"Going somewhere?" She asked, holding up her gun.

"Uh, yeah, as it happens. We're going outside." Kari told her, pushing Kalerrah behind her but still keeping a hold of his hand.

"Oh no, I don't think you are. See, I now have orders to shoot on sight. So, guess what's coming next?" The woman asked.

Kari just smirked at her as she pulled her sonic screwdriver up. "I'm guessing that your going to fire your ridiculously oversized gun at me, before dragging Kalerrah back to that damp, dark, cold room."

"You're good at guessing." The soldier replied, keeping her gun aimed.

"Only, there's one slight problem. Well, two actually. Or maybe three, I haven't decided yet." Kari said, feeling rather confident as she fiddled with her sonic in her hand.

"Oh? And what are those then?" It was clear that the woman was not impressed and did not believe a word that Kari was saying to her.

"Well, for a start, there is no way in the whole of time and space that I am going to let you ever touch Kalerrah again." She told the woman. "That's problem number one for you. Problem number two, outside of that room, my handy little device works. Do you know what it is?" She asked, holding up her screwdriver.

"That stupid little thing?" The woman scoffed.

Kari just continued to smirk. "Oh yeah, this little thing, which is not stupid thank you very much. I worked very hard on it. Now, that leads us to problem number three." She said, before turning her screwdriver on for a few seconds and aiming it at the gun. "You can't shoot me, because I just caused your gun to malfunction. So yeah, three problems, and no solution."

"Enough talking." The woman spat, before trying to fire her gun. Only, nothing happened. She aimed it at Kari again and pulled on the trigger, but once more, nothing happened. "What the hell have you done?" She growled, looking down at her now useless gun.

"I told you, it's a simple malfunction. Several of the mechanisms are jammed, well, more like fused together. Now if you don't mind, we'll be going now." Kari said, pulling Kalerrah with her as she went to make her way past the woman.

Except the soldier had other ideas and quickly grabbed hold of Kari's arm. "I don't need a gun to kill you." She hissed, twisting Kari's arm.

"True. But you're still not going to kill me." Kari told her confidently, although she really didn't have a plan, yet.

"And why not?"

Before Kari had a chance to reply, Kalerrah had stepped out from behind her and into the view of the soldier. "Because she's the Angel of Time. You hurt her, the Oncoming Storm be after you. Probably already is." He seemed to have gathered a lot of confidence from somewhere, and Kari was both proud and worried at that fact.

The woman snorted at him. "That's a myth, nothing more. You stupid Karleons believe in such idiotic things. Oh, the Oncoming Storm is after me, I am so scared. You're a liar, you all are. That is nothing but a story, it isn't real."

Kari could see the hurt in the little boys eyes. "Kalerrah, it's okay. Don't listen to her. You can believe in whatever you want." She told him, hoping that he would listen to her.

"But it not a story." He said, turning to look at Kari. "Show her. You the Angel of Time. You can do anything." She couldn't help but notice the little hint of doubt in his voice as he spoke.

Kari smiled at him. "You're right. I am the Angel of Time." She said, before looking at the soldier who was still gripping her wrist tightly. "My name is Karianne Conner, I travel through the whole of time and space. I'm the last Time Lady. I'm in love with the last Time Lord. And I am the Angel of Time."

As she finished speaking, her eyes began to burn brightly, and a golden swarm appeared around her. "Kathleen Abigail Fredrickson, daughter of Helen and James. This isn't the life you wanted. You never wanted to be a soldier, you always wanted to be a teacher. But your parents were killed, so you ended up here." Kari said. "Tell me, Kathleen, was it worth it?"

The woman just stood there and stared at her. "But… how did you…"

"You wanted to teach others, not kill. Was it worth it? Is this the life you want?" Kari asked her once more, still surrounded by the golden mist and her eyes still burning bright.

Kathleen let out a sob before releasing Kari's wrist. "No. It wasn't worth it. 10 years of hell."

Kari just smiled at her. "Then take back those 10 years, Kathleen Abigail Frederickson. I give you those 10 years. Become the teacher that you always wanted to be. Help others to learn." She said, taking hold of the woman's hand. "Take those 10 years and live a better life. If that is what you want?"

Kathleen nodded at her, as the tears rolled down her cheeks. "I do. I want to teach, not kill. Please." There was a blinding flash of light, and in an instant Kathleen Abigail Frederickson was gone.

The golden mist around Kari began to fade as her eyes returned to normal. "What happen to her?" Kalerrah asked in awe. He has seen everything, and she had proved to him that she really was the Angel of Time.

She turned and smiled at him. "She's gone back, back to when she made her choice. Now she can have a better life, and help those who need it."

"That was amazing." Kalerrah told her, still seeming pretty shocked and awe struck.

"Well, uh, it was interesting, I'll give you that." Kari told him. "First time I've ever done that. I don't even really know what happened or why." She admitted. She had no idea how she knew the woman's name, or about her parents and her past. All she knew was that she could have a second chance if she wanted it. And Kari somehow gave it to her.

"You the Angel of Time, you can do anything." Kalerrah said, still beaming away at her.

"Do you think I can get us out of here and safely back to the TARDIS?" She asked him, putting on her best 'serious' face.

"Yes."

A grin then took over Kari's face. "I guess we better be going then." She said, before they started making their way to the door again. Once they had reached it, they opened it together, and squinted at the brightness of the light streaming onto them.

"Now I just have to remember the way back through the forest and to the TARDIS." She told him as they stepped outside of the building and began to walk away from it. Except they didn't get very far before Kari dropped to her knees.

"What wrong? You okay?" Kalerrah asked, panic and worry seeping through in his voice.

Kari rubbed her head a little. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just feeling a little… dizzy." She told him trying to get back up, only to fall straight back down again. "Right, so maybe sending Kathleen back has wiped me of my energy." She admitted. "But we can't stay here, we have to move."

Kalerrah tried to help her to stand, but after a few steps, her legs gave way once more and she ended up down on the ground again. "You're tired. Need to rest." He told her, sitting on the ground beside her.

"I'll be fine in a minute, we really need to keep moving. It won't take them long to come out here and look for us." Kari said. "We need to get a safe distance away."

"You need rest." Kalerrah protested. She had rescued him, saved him and kept him from getting hurt. Now he was worrying about her.

"And I can rest when I know you are going to be safe." She told him, trying to get herself up once more. "Come on, Kalerrah, we have to go."

"But…"

"No arguments, young man. Lets go." She said, holding out her hand for him to take once more. Reluctantly he took it, knowing that fighting with her was not going to do any good.

Kari stumbled for the first few steps, but the boy helped her to stay up. He was surprisingly strong for someone so young, but then again, Kari didn't really know that much about the Karleons to begin with. For all she knew it could have been normal strength to them.

"To get here, we followed the trail of burnt out trees. If we go back that way, we should find the TARDIS." She told him, sounding a little out of breath.

"You not make it that far." Kalerrah whispered to himself. "I carry you."

Kari stopped and looked at him. "No, I can walk. I'm not going to let you carry me, you're just a boy."

He just smiled at her. "Not boy, Karleon." He said, before taking a few steps away from her.

What Kari saw next was something that she would never forget. She watched as his form shifted, growing longer and finishing with a tail. Her eyes widened even more when out from his back came two large, scaly green wings before his arms and legs transformed and claws grew where his nails used to be.

Where the young boy once stood was now a ferocious looking beast. "Kalerrah is Karleon." It growled.

"Oh, my… how the hell…" Kari stuttered, not really knowing what to say. "You're a flipping dragon!" Was all she managed to say, before dropping back down to the ground. Her head was spinning madly, and the sight before her really hadn't helped.

A/N: Yes, there probably is spelling and grammar errors, for which I am sorry for. I'm just a tiny bit stressed at the moment.

I hope the chapter was worth the wait, the next chapter is all ready to go and I will actually remember to post it.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, you guys are awesome. And those who have favourites/followed, a big thanks to you guys as well.

Pippa.
