Hello followers! I was thinking of getting my story back on track of the actual storyline of Doctor Who. I'm jumping in at Season 6, episode 5, The Rebel Flesh. So let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions or something, feel free to review. Anyway, enjoy :)
Last time: "OH, COME ON! That is not fair! I've been waiting to be ginger FOREVER and you get it so easily!" He said, angrily pacing. "Not fair, Rose Tyler. NOT fair!"
He continued to glare at her, and she stared back, "It's not like it's my fault I was suddenly ginger when I regenerated." She shot back.
"Speaking of regenerating, what did you look like before you were ginger?" The Master asked, looking at her.
"I was blonde." She said, shrugging.
"How did you regenerate?" The Doctor asked.
She tensed slightly, "It's nothing worth talking about." She said, not meeting their eyes.
They were about to object when an alarm sounded throughout the Tardis. Suddenly they were all scrambling to grab hold of something as the Tardis was being rocked around. "What's happening?!" Koschei asked.
The Doctor stumbled to the monitor, "A solar tsunami, came directly from your sun. A tidal wave of radiation- big, big, big!" the Doctor screamed.
"Oh, great!" The Professor screamed.
A few moments later the rocking stopped and the Doctor stood up. "Textbook landing." He said, beaming. Then he pouted, "We left behind my Tardis."
The Professor laughed lightly and stood up. "It's alright Doctor, we'll get her back after we investigate this weird ocurence, alright?" She asked. He nodded, but the pout remained. Koschei stood up as well and he turned to see Amy and Rory running into the console room, "What was that?!" Amy screamed.
"A solar tsunami, nothing to worry about." The Professor said, rubbing the back of her head. Her eyes flashed gold at Amy and a confused expression overtook her face for a moment. But as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone and any human wouldn't have noticed. But there were two other time lords in the room and they did notice. However they ignored it and saved the question for another day. The Professor turned to the door and yanked it open walking out. "Behold." She said, in a deep voice. "A cockerel."
The Doctor stepped out after her, "Ooh, love a cockerel." He said, walking forward.
Then Koschei, Amy and Rory stepped out. Koschei looked around, "And underneath a monastery, maybe 14th century?" He guessed.
"13th century." The Professor corrected, smiling. She playfully hit his chest, "You're off your game, Koschei."
Amy looked around, "Ooh we've gone all medeviel." She said.
"I'm not so sure about that." Rory said.
"Really? Medeviel expert, are you?" Amy teased.
"No it's just that I can hear Dusty Springfeild." Rory explained. It was true the song emanated from the air and they all stopped to listen. You don't have to say you love me. Just be close at hand. The words sang.
The Doctor crouched down next to some pipes they saw in a hole in the ground. "These fissures are new." He said, observing them. "The solar tsunami sent out a huge wave of gamm particles. This was caused by a magnetic quake, that occured just before the wave hit." He explained.
The Professor smiled at the Doctor, "I love it when you get all technical, kitten."
The Doctor smiled and straightened his bowtie, "Well, the monastery's still standing." Amy said, ignoring their flirting.
"Yeah, for now." Koschei muttered.
"Doctor, look." Rory said, pointing at the pipes.
"It's a supply pipe." The Professor said, bringing her sonic out of her back pocket and sonicking the pipe. "Cerramic inner lining. Something corrosive." She said, looking at her sonic.
"They're pumping something nasty of this island to the mainland." The Doctor said.
Rose grimaced, "I'm not sure I'm going to like these people." She muttered.
"My mum is a massive fan of Dusty Springfeild." Rory said, looking off into the distance.
"Who isn't?" The Doctor said turning around. "Right let's go... Satisfy our rabid curiousity." He said, running toward the entrance. They all ran after him. They walked up more stairs and Rory touched a weird substance on the railing and let out a hiss.
"Acid, they're pumping acid off this island. That's old stuff, if it was fresh you wouldn't have a finger." Koschei said, pointing at it. Amy fondly kissed the tip of his finger and smiled at him. He smiled back, a little embarrased.
Rose and the Doctor sonicked the air and were rewarded with a loud "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!"
"There are people coming." The Doctor said. "Well almost." He added.
"Almost coming," Amy asked.
"Almost people." The Professor finished. They started walking up the stairs.
Rory didn't move, "I- I think we sould probably g-"
"Come on!" Amy screamed.
"I'm telling you, if something runs toward you, it's never for a nice reason." Rory tried to explain as Amy pulled him into the monastery. They saw a big room with people strapped into harnesses.
"What are all these harnesses for?" Amy asked.
"Uh, the almost people?" Rory suggested.
"What are they prisoners or are they meditating, or what?" Amy asked again.
"Well, at the moment, they fall into the "or what" category." The Doctor explained.
"Real helpful kitten." The Professor said, rolling her eyes as she looked around.
A voice came on an intercom, "Halt and remain calm." It said.
"Well, we've halted. How we all doing on he calm front?" He asked, trying to make a joke out of it.
Suddenly three people came in, two guys carrying weird weapons, and one girl unarmed, "Don't.. move!" One of the guys said. The Professor grimaced at them, not liking their tone.
"Stay back, Jen." The second one said to the unarmed girl. "We don't know who they are."
"So let's ask them." the girl named Jen suggested. "Who the hell are you?"
The Professor answered before the Doctor could, "Well, I'm the Professor, this is the Doctor, that is Koschei and those two are Amy and Rory." She said, seriously.
"Hold up, you're all- What are you all like identical twins?" Amy asked, looking extremely confused.
Suddenly another woman and man appeared with weird suits on."This is an alpha grade professional facility, unless you work for the military or for Morpheth Jetsan, you are in big trouble." The woman threatened.
The Professor walked forward shooting the woman a glare, "Actually, your'e in big trouble." She got out a wallet sized peice of pare and gave it to her.
"Meteorological department? Since when?" The woman asked, looking at it.
"Since you were hit by a solar wave." The Doctor said jumping in.
"Which we survived." She replied in a bored tone.
Then Koschei started talking, "Just, by the look of it, and there's a bigger one on the way."
"Which we'll also survive." She said, sounding cocky. The Professor narrowed her eyes at her, "Dickens, scan for bugs." The woman said, gesturing to the man next to her.
"Backs against the wall. Now." Dickens said. No one objected.
They all backed against the wall, 'You're not a monastery. You're a factory." The Doctor said. "22nd- century, army-owned factory."
Koschei smugly smiled at the Professor and whispered, "Oh and I'm off my game." She elbowed him and gave him a playful glare.
"You're army?" Amy asked.
"No, love, we're contractors and you're trespassers."
The Professor once again glared at her and fought down the urge to growl. Dickens scanned them and gave the all clear.
"Alright, your I.D. checks out. If there's another solar storm, what are you going to do about it-hand out sun block." She said sarcastically as the Professor took her psychic paper back.
The Professors glare deepened, "I need to see your critical systems." She said, seriously.
"Which one?" She asked.
The Professor narrowed her eyes, "Don't patronize me, you know which one." She shot back slowly. They were led into a room with a giant bowl that had flesh colored liquid in it. The three time lords examined it.
"Meet the government's worst kept secret, the flesh." She said. "It's fully programmable matter. In fact, ti's even learning to replicate itself at a cellular level.
"Right. Brilliant... Lost." Amy said, unable to understand.
"Okay. Once a reading's been taken we can manipulate it's molecular stucture into anything, replicate a living organism, down to the hairs on its chinny chin chin- even clothes." The woman explained. "Everything's identical- eyes, voice."
"Mind, soul." The Doctor added.
"Don't be fooled, Doctor. It acts like life, but it still needs to be controlled by us from those harnesses you saw." The woman said.
"Wait, whoa, hold it. So you're flesh now?" Rory asked.
"I'm lying in a harness back in that chamber. We all are except Jennifer, here. Don't be scared. This thing? Just like operating a forklift truck."
"You said it could grow. Only living things grow." The Doctor said, not paying attention to the fact that the Professor was slowly inching her hand down to the goo.
"Moss grows. It's no more than that. This acid is so dangerous, we were losing a worker every week. So now we mine the acid, using these dopplegangers, or gangers. If these bodies get burnt or fall in the acid." She said
"Then who the hell cares, right, Jen." One of the guys said. A small growl came out of the Professor's mouth. She was momentarily distracted and her hand came away from the goo. Koschei grabbed her arm to hold her back.
"Calm down," He whispered. She crossed her arms over her chest but stayed quiet.
"The nerve endings automatically get cut off, like airbag's being discharged. We wake up and get a new ganger." Jen replied.
"It's weird, but you get used to it." The blonde guy said.
"Jennifer, I want you in your ganger. Get back to the harness." The woman demanded and Jennifer left the room.
The Professors scanned the goo with the Doctor and there Sonic's and they both felt something weird. Her eyes flashed gold again, "It was scanning us." She said, barely hearing everone else.
The Doctor and the Professor's eyes met, and they nodded. They put their hands over the goo and put it on the surface. The Doctor made a weird face while the Professors was blank.
They didn't hear the warning the woman gave them. "I could hear it. It was in my head. I could feel it." The Professor said. The Doctor nodded in agreement.
"Don't fiddle with the money." The woman said.
"How can you be so blinkered? It's alive. So alive. You're piling your lives, your personalities directly into it." The Doctor said, unbelieving.
"You are beautiful." The Professor whispered, looking at it.
Suddenly the room shook and a loud noises filled the air, "It's the solar storm. The first waves come in pairs. Pre-shock and fore-shock. It's close." Koschei explained
"Buzzer, we got anything from the mainland yet?" The woman said, turning to one of the guys.
"No, the comms are still too jammed with radiation." He answered.
"Okay. Then we'll keep pumping acid until the mainland says stop. Now why don't you stand back and let us impress you?" The woman said, arrogance clear in her voice.
The Professor let out a low growl and clenched her fist. Koschei stood in front of her and whispered, "Calm down, I don't like her either."
"I told you I wouldn't like these people." She replied, glaring at the she walked over to Amy and said, "Breathe."
