Hello everyone, it's ReaderWarrior here. I know you're probably all excited (hopefully) for the next chapter of Remnant Who, so I'll try and keep this short.

This is the second of 4 chapters I wanted to get out to celebrate, so I really hope you all enjoy (because my sleep schedule sure didn't!).

Let me start off by saying "Happy Birthday Remnant Who!" It has officially been 1-year (to the date) since I started this Fic. Or, at least, that's when I planned this to go out. In actuality, I accidentally read the 23rd as the 28th. So that's my fault. Honestly, I've been taking my time with it. I originally thought I would be able to do like 1 disc every few months, but here we are, still on the first one! (Sorry about that)

I want to give all of you my thanks. From my very first follower (Adriskratos), favorite (TheDistur6edGuy), and review (ZBlader), to all the most recent ones (Shadowless15, Lyncis Leonis Shaw-Black, and Triscythe59). I now have over 100 followers AND favorites, as well as almost as many reviews.

Thank you all for making me feel accepted. I know it seems petty, but it means a whole lot to me to have your support and listen to your comments. Thank you so very, very much.

Now, let's get back into the story before I start to cry again. You all are great

Oh! And if you'd be so kind as to check my profile, I've created a poll where everyone can vote for the world they want the Librarian to take RWBY and Qrow first! There are over 5 options, with more to come at a later date. Please check it out and vote! We are now 4 chapters away from the first true break chapter.

Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North, is still reading from the security case when a loud voice booms from the hall.

"I've got the White House phoning me direct because Downing Street won't answer their calls! This is outrageous!"

"Hide!" Weiss hisses.

Quickly tossing the papers back inside, Harriet Jones rushes to the door and opens it slightly. In the hall, she sees a large military man wearing his uniform as he berates the same three officials from earlier. "This is outrageous!" Asquith scowls. "We haven't even started the vaccination programme. This is appalling. The nations of the world are watching the United Kingdom."

Harriet Jones, realizing her situation, looks back into the room and bolts towards the other side of the room.

"Into the closet!" Ruby offers. "Or under the table!"

"I hope she doesn't get in too much trouble if she's caught," Blake adds

"Well," Green rationalizes, "it has all been a bit of a shock."

"This is the greatest crisis in modern history and you've done nothing!" Asquith exclaims. "Your behaviour has been shameful, sir. You're supposed to be in charge. We need positive leadership. The capital's ground to a halt."

With nowhere else to go, Harriet Jones runs back towards the door and notices the group heading back inside the cabinet room. Panicking, she turns around quickly and practically leaps into a cupboard.

"Now let's just hope no one decides to go in there," Weiss nods.

"If they do, she should surprise them with a punch to the face," Yang smirks. "Then run for it."

Weiss shakes her head. "I sincerely doubt she's capable of doing such a maneuver."

General Asquith opens the door just as Harriet Jones' closes hers. "All the more," he continues, "we can only assume that the Prime Minister's disappearance is the direct result of hostile alien action. And what have you been doing? Nothing!" He stands across from the trio, as well as Harriet Jones, as Green daps a handkerchief against his forehead.

"Sorry! Sorry," Green interrupts, banging his fist on the table. "Uh, I thought I was Prime Minister now."

"Yeah, and how is that exactly?" Qrow frowns. "Seems to me like somebody messed up the paperwork."

Frowning, the general responds with a growl. "Only by default."

"Oh! That's not fair!" The 'default' Prime Minister pouts. "I've been having such fun!"

"Fun?" Weiss's face transforms into a frown. "You think it is funny that people are looting? That aliens might have begun invading?"

"Something's up with these guys," Yang growls. "I can't wait for the Doctor to show them what's what!"

"You think this is fun?"

Green starts to laugh and is quickly joined by Margaret and Charles. "It's a hoot, this job," he chuckles.

"Honestly, it's super!" Margaret adds with a giggle.

Suddenly, Charles lets out a loud fart. "Oh! Excuse me!" He sarcastically apologizes, only for another fart to explode into the room as the three laugh loudly.

Blake wrinkles her nose. "I cannot believe there are people this disgusting."

"What's going on here?" Asquith snaps, trying to ignore the gaseous outbursts. "And where's the rest of the cabinet? Why haven't they been airlifted in?"

"I canceled it!" Green explains, making his way to the head of the table. "They'd only get in the way." He stops momentarily to release his own gas, leaning over the table on his hands. "Oops! There I go!"

"Why would they do that?" Yang snaps."Are they trying to cause problems?!"

"Yep," Qrow answers. "Something tells me these are nice people."

Ruby's eyes go wide. "What if they aren't people?"

Everyone turns to the leader of team RWBY. "What do you mean?"

The general watches in disgust as the three government officials continue to fart and laugh.

"Oh, and me!" Margaret hoots. "I'm shaking my booty!"

Directly behind her, Harriet Jones winces and covers her nose as she peaks into the room, watching as Charles practically doubles over in laughter.

"Sir!" Asquith yells, having enough of this, "under section five of the emergency protocols, it is my duty to relieve you of command. And by God, I'll put this country under martial law if I have to."

"James would definitely like this guy," Qrow smirks.

Green smirks and makes his way towards the general. "Oh!" I'm scared," he laughs. "I mean, that's hair-raising. I mean, literally. Look!" Slowly, Green raises his hands and pulls back the front of his hair covering an area of his forehead. His other hand reaches for the spot and grabs a hold of a small, metallic tab poking out from the skin.

"What," Yang begins, "the heck, is that!?"

"It looks like a zipper," Weiss squints. "But that can't be right."

"They're not human!" Ruby repeats. "They are the aliens!"

With a loud zipping noise, blue light begins to pour out into the room as Green pulls the tab across his skull. Asquith turns to Margaret and Charles, only for them to be doing the same. Flickering blue light covers the room as Harriet Jones peaks from her cupboard. Horror is frozen in her eyes as a blubbery, squelching sound is heard from where Green was standing.

Something falls to the ground with a loud whumph and the general screams.

And all Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North, could do was silently scream as she turned away.

Qrow tosses back another swig from his flask. "Well, another point for Ruby, then."

Yang nods. "But if they are the aliens, then what was the pig?"

"Perhaps a decoy?" Weiss offers. "To distract the world from them taking it over?"

"But why call attention to aliens, then," Blake ponders. "Surely there are easier ways to take over a government than to make people think aliens are coming."

Ruby shrugs her shoulders. "The Doctor will stop them, that's what is important."

"I just assumed that's what aliens looked like," Sato defends as she and the Doctor look down at the dead 'alien' laying on a table. She turns to the Doctor and asks, "so you're saying it's an ordinary pig? From Earth?"

The Doctor nods. "More like a mermaid. Victorian showmen used to draw the crowds by taking the skull of a cat, gluing it to a fish and calling it a mermaid. Now someone's taken a pig, opened up its brain, stuck bits on, then they've strapped it in that ship and made it dive-bomb. It must've been terrified. They've taken this animal and turned it into a joke."

Weiss gasps. "That's horrible!"

"That poor animal," Blake sighs. "It was just used and tossed away."

Qrow raises a glass. "Rest in peace you space-pig."

"So it's a fake," Sato summarizes. "A pretend, like the mermaid. But the technology augmenting its brain, it's like nothing on Earth. It's alien. Aliens are faking aliens. But why would they do that?" When she turns to ask, the alien traveler was already gone. "Doctor?"

She quickly runs out into the hallway to look for him, calling out his name once more, but only hears the unfamiliar sound of the T.A.R.D.I.S fading away.

"I don't care how many times I hear it," Yang smiles. "That sound is freaking awesome."

"But why couldn't he stay behind and explain the situation?" Weiss frowns. "It seems fairly rude of him."

"It'd take too much time," Ruby realizes. "Especially since he has no idea what is going on and needs to figure it out ASAP."

Jackie raises her glass as she walks through her flat, smiling at all the guests now lingering about. "Here's to the martians!" she cheers, earning a resounding cry from the partygoers. However, when she turns to face the door, everything stops as Mickey steps inside.

Jumping to her feet, Rose smiles at him. "I was going to come and see you."

"She should have gone to see him first if you ask me," the Librarian mumbles.

"Someone owes Mickey an apology," the family friend from earlier exclaims as he steps towards Rose slowly, as if uncertain if she was actually there.

"I'm sorry."

The woman shakes her head. "Not you."

"Well, it's not my fault!" Jackie cries. "Be fair. What was I supposed to think?" She then turns and runs off into the kitchen, followed quickly by Mickey and Rose."

"Why does she need to apologize?" Blake frowns. "What did he do?"

"He was the last one to see Rose!" Yang realizes. "She must have blamed him!"

"You disappear, who do they turn to?" Mickey yells, standing in front of Rose as Jackie sits. "Your boyfriend! Five times I was taken in for questioning. Five times. No evidence. Of course! There couldn't be, could there? And then I get her, your mother, whispering around the estate, pointing her finger, stuff through my letterbox, and all 'cause of you."

"She did what?!" Yang snaps.

Blake sighs. "It does make sense. But she shouldn't have kept harassing him."

"She was just being a mom," Ruby rationalizes. "She was worried."

"There's worry and then there is blaming someone without regard for facts," Weiss frowns.

Behind him, Jackie does her best to hide her face from Rose's glare.

"I didn't think I'd be gone so long!" she explains.

Mickey whirls back around. "And I waited for you, Rose! Twelve months, waiting for you and the Doctor to come back."

"Hold on!" Jackie pauses, unfolding her arms. "You knew about the Doctor? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Maybe because you were filling his mailboxes with hate mail," Qrow frowns. "Seriously, you are expecting any sort of gratitude after what you did?"

Noticing the onlookers peeking through the doors, Mickey shuts the service hatch and the kitchen entryway. "Yeah, yeah. Why not, Rose? Huh? How could I tell her where you went?"

Jackie frowns. "Tell me now."

"I might as well," he smirks, "'cause you're stuck here. The Doctor's gone! Just now, that box thing just faded away."

Confused, Rose steps towards Mickey and asks, "what do you mean?"

"He's left you! Some boyfriend he turned out to be."

Blake's cheeks flush. "They aren't-. I mean, maybe later, but-"

"They would be cute together," Yang smirks.

Worried he might not be lying, she runs to the door and grabs her jacket before swinging it wide. She pushes through guests as she heads back to where the T.A.R.D.I.S last parked, with Mickey right on her heels.

True to his word, the T.A.R.D.I.S was gone. Rose and Mickey stand in the parking lot as Rose looks around. "He wouldn't just go," she mumbles. "He promised me."

"Did he actually promise not to go anywhere?" Ruby asks.

"Just because he didn't say the words doesn't mean he didn't promise," Weiss explains. "He gave her the key, that was enough of a promise."

Mickey is unable to keep his glee hidden. "Oh, he's dumped you, Rose! Sailed off into space. How does it feel, huh? Now you are left behind with the rest of us Earthlings. Get used to it."

"He would've said…" Rose denies as Jackie walks up behind her.

"What are you two chimps going on about?" she asks, hands stuffed inside her pockets. "What's going on? What's this Doctor done now?"

"He's vamoosed," Mickey mockingly laughs.

"He only went to see the 'alien'," Blake defends. "It isn't as if he went somewhere she couldn't go by taxi."

"But she doesn't know that," the Librarian explains. "For all they know, the Doctor went to find the planet that the spaceship came from."

Rose shakes her head and reaches into her pocket. "He's not!" She explains as she pulls out the T.A.R.D.I.S kay. "'Cause he gave me this, the key to the T.A.R.D.I.S."

Scoffing, Mickey rolls his eyes.

"He's not my boyfriend, Mickey. He's better than that. It's much more important. And he-" Rose stops as she feels the key pulse in her hand. A glance down shows it glowing as well. As it does, a faint warbling and whooshing pierces through the silent night of London. "I said so."

"Wait!" Ruby yells. "Jackie's still here!"

"Not much they can do now," Weiss rolls her eyes. "She had to find out eventually."

Realization dawns on Rose's face and she quickly turns back to Jackie. "Mum! Mum, go inside." But Jackie doesn't move, instead watching with a slack jaw as the T.A.R.D.I.S begins to materialize. "Mum, don't stand there, just go inside. Just, Mum, go. Mum… Oh, blimey." Rose palms her forehead as a loud thud finishes off the noise as the familial blue box stops glowing.

"Huh?" Mickey points, looking at Jackie with a smirk.

Team RWBY laughs. "As annoying as he's being right now, it must feel so good for him to show off he wasn't crazy or a murderer," Yang smirks.

"Especially to the woman who berated him for a year," Weiss nods.

The older blonde, not able to take her eyes off the T.A.R.D.I.S, leans towards her daughter. "How'd you do that, then?"

Rose ignores her and runs inside.

The Doctor looks up to see Rose entering. "All right, so I lied," he explains. "I went and had a look. But the whole crash landing's a fake. I thought so. Just too perfect. I mean, hitting Big Ben."

Ruby nods. "It did seem a little perfect… But didn't he say the angle of descent was perfect?"

"Too perfect," Blake agrees. "But they could have sent it crashing down from a controlled point and aimed it downward."

"Come on, so I thought, 'let's go and have a look-'

"My mum's here," Rose interrupts as they hear the T.A.R.D.I.S doors swing shut. Behind them, Jackie looks around in awe while Mickey glares at the Doctor.

"Oh, that's just what I need," the Doctor groans. "Don't you dare make this place domestic!"

Mickey steps up behind the traveler. "You ruined my life, Doctor!" he accuses, pointing a finger at Rose before turning it towards the Doctor. "They thought she was dead. I was a murder suspect because of you."

Rolling his eyes, the Doctor turns back to Rose. "You see what I mean? Domestic."

"Oh please let this turn into a soap opera," Yang laughs. "That would be hilarious."

"Maybe after we deal with an alien invasion," Blake offers.

"I bet you don't even remember my name."

The Doctor looks at Rose's (maybe?) boyfriend and responds saying, "Rickey."

"It's Mickey."

"No. It's Mickey."

"I think I know my own name!"

"You think you know your own name? How stupid are you?" The Doctor smiles, victorious with his wordplay.

Once again, team RWBY-Q cannot help but hold back their laughter.

"Remind me to use that one later," Qrow chuckles.

"Only if I'm there to record it," Yang agrees.

As he smirks, Jackie starts to hyperventilate and runs back out of the console room.

"Mum, don't!" Rose yells, taking a few steps after her before turning back to the Doctor and Rickey- I mean, Mickey. "Don't go anywhere. Don't start a fight!"

Rose chases after Jackie but stops at the T.A.R.D.I.S doors. "Mum it's not like that!" she cries, watching her mother run back into her flat.

"Go after her!" Ruby yells. "Explain what's happening!"

"He's not-! I'll… I'll be up in a minute! Hold on!" Rose then runs back inside the T.A.R.D.I.S and turns back to the Doctor.

Ruby sighs, earning a shoulder rub from Weiss. "We can't all be perfect heroes, you know."

"But her mom was just worried about her. And now she's seen a box that's bigger on the inside and aliens and-"

"It'll be alright, kiddo," Qrow smiles. "She just needs some time."

"That was a real spaceship?" she asks.

"Yep."

Frowning, Rose turns to look at the monitor screen the Doctor is messing with. "So it's all a pack of lies? What is it, then? Are they invading?"

"Funny way to invade," Mickey snorts, "putting the world on high alert."

The Doctor turns to Mickey with a raised eyebrow. "Good point! So what're they up to?" he wonders, turning back to the screen.

"But if they're not here to conquer, what do they want?" Yang frowns.

"Maybe to point the blame at a different species?" Blake offers. "Raise an army against their enemies?"

"Wouldn't be the first time," the Librarian mumbles.

Now back in her flat, and completely alone, Jackie turns the telly back on with shaking hands as she struggles to understand the events of what she had just seen,

"As the crisis continues and the government shows remarkable lack of leadership, paranoia sweeps the country," the newscaster narrates while the screen continues to show different angles of the crashed alien ship. Jackie sighs and falls onto her bed. "There've been at least three reports of public assaults on people falsely identified as aliens. Now back to Tom Hitchinson."

"Are there more ships to come?" he asks, causing Jackie to turn back to the screen. "And what is their intention? The authorities are now asking if anyone knows anything. If any previous sighting has been made, then call this number. We need your help."

-(08081 570980)-

Without wasting a second, Jackie leaps up from her bed and grabs the phone.

"Don't!" Everyone yells

She quickly dials the number from the screen and holds it against her ear as it rings. However, the ringtone beeps saying the line is busy. Jackie dials again, only to get the same response. On the third try, someone picks up.

"She did," Blake sighs.

"Yes," Jackie remarks to whoever is on the other end. "I've seen one. I really have. An alien. And she's with him. My daughter, she's with him, and she's not safe. Oh, my God, she's not safe.

"She's safer with him than with you!" Yang snaps.

"Especially if she is trying to report him," Weiss agrees.

"I've seen an alien, and I know his name. He's called the Doctor."

In some hidden location, the operator pulls up a database search.

'The Doctor'.

"It's a box. A blue box."

'Blue Box,' the program searches.

"She called it a T.A.R.D.I.S."

'TARDIS'.

Alarms begin to go off, flashing the screen red.

"Wait, what?" Ruby asks.

Blake's eyes go wide. "They already know about the Doctor!" she realizes. "And they must have contingencies in place to see if he is around."

"But if they know the Doctor," Ruby frowns, "why don't they just call him directly?"

Ganesh, hearing an alarm, runs to his computer. Similar to the database, it is also now flashing red. However, the text has changed.

'Red alert,' it reads. 'The Doctor'.

"Oh no," Weiss gasps. "If he tells the aliens about the Doctor, then they might plan accordingly."

"They might set a trap!" Yang adds.

Mickey looks down through one of the floor gratings of the console's floor as the Doctor, with screwdriver in hand, er… mouth, rewiring the unit. "So, what're you doing down there?" he asks.

Pulling the screwdriver out of his mouth, the Doctor begins saying, "Rickey-"

"Mickey," he corrects.

"Rickey," the Doctor continues with a roll of his eyes," if I was to tell you what I was doing to the controls of my frankly magnificent time ship, would you even begin to understand?"

"I suppose not…"

"Well, shut it, then," he orders with a smile.

"There's no need to be rude, "Weiss frowns.

Ruby giggles. "He reminds me of when I tried to help Yang with her bike. She wouldn't let anyone in the garage until it was done."

"Hey," the blonde defends, "I just didn't want you guys in my way!"

Blake nods. "Same with the Doctor. He doesn't need the distraction."

"Still," Weiss grumbles. "He could be nicer."

Sighing, Mickey walks back over to Rose. "Some friend you've got."

"He's winding you up," Rose shrugs. When Mickey doesn't respond, she looks away from the console and sighs. "I am sorry."

"Okay," Mickey mumbles.

"I am, though!"

He sighs and looks down at his feet. "Every day, I looked," he explains. "On every street corner, wherever I went, looking for a blue box for a whole year."

Blake sighs. "That's so sweet."

"It's only been a few days for me," Rose answers, trying to explain her missing for an entire year. "I don't know. It's, it's hard to tell inside this thing but I swear it's just a few days since I left you."

Mickey looks up and offers a small smile. "Not enough time to miss me, then?"

"I did miss you," she grins.

"I missed you."

The two stare at each other for a moment, thankful to have the other in their company once again.

"Kiss him," Weiss whispers.

"Kiss da girl," the Librarian agrees, dropping his voice into a strange accent. "Shalalalalalala."

Rose, pausing, coughs and asks, "so, um, in twelve months… Have you been seeing anyone else?"

"Nope," Mickey responds quickly, earning a smile from the blonde.

"Okay."

"Mainly," he explains, "'cause everyone thinks I murdered you."

"Right…"

"Then why didn't he leave," Qrow burps. "Seems to me like nothing was actually keeping him there."

"She was," Ruby smiles. "He was going to wait for her, no matter how long."

Mickey nods solemnly and steps closer. "So… Now that you've come back, are you going to stay?" Inching closer, he leans down and closes his eyes.

"Yes!"

However, the Doctor interrupts, causing Rose to jump back when she hears an electrical crackle.

"No!"

"Got it!" He laughs, jumping to his feet and running back to the monitor. Rose quickly runs over to him, leaving Mickey on the other end. "Patched in the radar, looped it back twelve hours so we can follow the flight of that spaceship. Here we go. Hold on."

"He did, what?" Weiss's eye twitches in shock.

"He basically used his T.A.R.D.I.S to replay an event. Sort of like… TV time travel," the Librarian explains. "Kind of similar to what we are doing here."

"Come on." He smacks the screen for a moment, then reaches for the mallet. Before he could grab ahold of it, the monitor beeps and draws his attention back to it.

On the screen, strange symbols display a curved light, connected to a dot, heading towards a large blue sphere. "That's the spaceship on its way to Earth, see?" he explains, pointing at the dot. "Except… Hold on. See? The spaceship did a slingshot 'round the Earth before it landed." The screen rewinds, showing the dot leaving Earth and making a wide turn before returning to the opposite end of the planet.

"So they launched the ship from Earth then had it come back down? Yang summarizes.

Ruby nods. "Mhm."

"But why? Did they do it to distract everyone from their overthrow of the British government?"

"Mhm."

"... You have no idea, do you?"

"Mhm!"

"What does this mean?" Rose asks.

"It means it came from Earth in the first place. It went up and came back down. Whoever those aliens are, they haven't just arrived. They've been here for a while. Question is, what've they been doing?"

"They've got a mole in MI5 and the Prime Minister's office," Weiss answers.

"And who knows where else," Blake adds. "There could be more of them."

The blue light fades away as the general stumbles to his feet. As he does, a large, human-shaped suit is tossed over one of the chairs. From her cupboard, Harriet Jones can easily tell it depicts Oliver Charles. However, it's wearer had no more use for it as he pulled Asquith's belt up.

"Did he just…" Blake pauses to gulp. "Pop out of that thing like a costume?"

"And then slipped inside of General Asquith, yes, yes he did," Ruby answers with a tremble in her voice.

"What do you think?" he asks. "How's the compression? I think I've got too much ballast around the middle." Margaret begins patting him down after she adjusts her dress, while Green, behind her, straightens his tie. The general pauses and groans, letting out another loud fart. "Ooh, that's better."

"Wait," Yang frowns. "So the farting thing isn't just for kicks?"

The Librarian shakes his head. "If I were to guess, it would be related to how the alien's true body dispels energy."

Margaret sighs. "We've really got to fix the gas exchange. It's getting ridiculous."

"I don't know," Green disagrees. "Seems very human to me." He turns to the chair with the remains of Charles still laying atop and picks it up. "Ah, better get rid of his skin."

"Shame," the previous occupant of the 'skin' groans. "I quite enjoyed being Oliver Charles. He had a wife, a mistress, and a young farmer."

Ruby frowns. "A mistress?"

Qrow lets out a sound somewhere between a cough and a choking noise. "Ask Tai when you're older."

Asquith takes the suit from Green and walks over to Harriet Jones' cupboard, who does her best to sink back into the small closet space.

"Uh, oh!" Yang smirks. "Time to fight!"

Without looking, he tosses the skin inside and chuckles before slamming the door shut. "God, I was busy."

"Awwww."

"Just be thankful they didn't see her," Blake scolds. "She could have been killed. Or worse, turned into a skin suit too."

Green nods. "Back to work!" he orders, opening the door for his compatriots.

The general nods. "I have an army to command."

"Careful, now," Margaret warns, as they leave the room, "we're not there yet."

Harriet Jones silently picks up the suit, realizing the entire top of the 'skull' is held together by a zipper and the rest of the body is completely hollow.

Weiss places a hand over her mouth. "That is disturbing on so many levels."

Before the trio could leave, Ganesh leaps up from his chair and runs over to the uniformed officer. "General Asquith!" he greets. "Sir, we've had a priority alarm. It's code nine. Confirmed: Code Nine."

Chuckling softly, the Librarian makes note of the odds this Doctor would be registered under a Code Nine.

Harriet Jones, hearing Ganesh's loud and excited voice, creeps over to the door and presses her ear against it.

"Right. Good," the general responds. "Code Nine, huh? Which would mean…?"

Confused, Ganesh looks to Margaret and Green, who only smile apologetically. "In the event of the emergency protocols being activated, we've got software that automatically searches all communications for keywords. And one of those words is 'Doctor' and 'T.A.R.D.I.S'. I think we've found him, sir."

"What sort of doctor?" Margaret snaps. "Who is he?"

"Great," Blake nods, "so they don't know who he is. That means they don't know what he is capable of."

"They know he is important enough to have a codeword and an alarm," Qrow says.

Ganesh shakes his fist excitedly. "Well, evidently he's some sort of expert in extraterrestrial affairs. The ultimate expert! And we need him, sir. We need him here right now."

"Oh, don't worry," Yang smirks. "I'll bet he'll be here soon to deal with all of this."

The T.A.R.D.I.S monitor crackles as the Doctor, along with Rose and Mickey, search through live feeds from around the world.

"How many channels you get?" Mickey asks.

The Doctor cocks his head, "all the basic packages."

Scoffing, the Librarian adds, "and more. All of time and space, it's pretty easy to catch radio waves."

Turning back to the Doctor with stars in his eyes, Mickey asks, "you get sports channels?"

"Yes," he nods, "I get the football." The sound of channel-hopping stops as the Doctor points at the screen and says, "Hold on. I know that lot.

Inside a building, a small group of heavily decorated soldiers marches through a hallway. "It is looking likely that the Government's bringing in alien specialists," the narrator comments. "These people who have devoted their lives to studying outer space."

"UNIT," the Doctor clarifies with a smile. "United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Good people."

Rose looks at the alien traveler with a confused look. "How do you know them?" she asks.

Surprisingly, Mickey answers first. "'Cause he's worked for them."

"He did?!"

"Yep," the Librarian nods. "During the 1970s, I believe."

"Huh," Yang chuckles. "I never expected the Doctor to have a desk job."

Both the Doctor and Rose look at him with surprise. "Oh yeah, don't think I sat on my backside for twelve months, Doctor. I read up on you! You look deep enough on the Internet or in the history books, and there's his name. Followed by a list of the dead."

"That's nice," the Doctor snarks, "good boy, Rickey."

"If you know them, why don't you go and help?" Rose asks as the monitor turns off.

They wouldn't recognize me," he explains.

"But they would know about you right?" Weiss frowns. "That'd account for something."

"And with his notoriety, he'll be recognized easily, right?" Blake agrees.

The Librarian shakes his head. "Most of the people he worked with are long gone, I bet. And the ones who know of him most likely only think he is a legend."

The Doctor moves around the console, turning dials and flipping switches as he talks. "I've changed a lot since the old days. Besides, the world's on a knife-edge. There's aliens out there and fake aliens wanna keep this alien out of the mix. I'm going undercover. And, uh, I'd better keep the T.A.R.D.I.S out of sight." The Doctor finishes his loop with a 'ding!' of a bell. He then pats Mickey on the shoulder and bolts for the doors, with Rose quickly behind him. "Rickey, you've got a car. You can do some driving."

Mickey frowns and turns. "Where to?"

The Doctor pushes one of the T.A.R.D.I.S doors open. "The roads are clearing," he explains. "Let's go have a look at that spaceship."

"Finally!" Ruby squeals. "More alien tech!"

Qrow chuckles. "And to think it was only a few years ago when you first asked to make an HCSS."

However, they don't make it that far. As soon as the Doctor, Rose, and Mickey step back out into the London air, a spotlight from a helicopter shines down upon them. "Do not move!" a man with a megaphone orders from the helicopter as police cars swarm the area. "Step away from the box and raise your hands above your heads!"

Yang growls. "Godsdammit Jackie!

"This is a little excessive, don't you think?" Blake frowns. "It's not like he's a threat."

"He kind of is," Weiss realizes. "What was it Mickey said? 'A list of the dead' follows him?"

Soldiers swarm the scene. Large, military vehicles block the exits as more sirens surround them. Mickey decides to make a run for it. Dogs bark as he runs past them, with more soldiers making chase.

"Why would he run?" Blake asks.

"He's been accused of possibly murdering his girlfriend," Qrow explains. "I wouldn't want to stick around either."

The Doctor and Rose, however, don't move, with the former barely even reacting to the newcomers.

Jackie runs out from her flat's building, only to be grabbed by two soldiers who hold her back.

"Rose!" she yells. However, her daughter cannot hear over the sound of the helicopter. "Rose!"

"This is your fault," Yang seethes. "What goes through your mind to call the cops on your own daughter?"

"She was calling the cops on an alien who, in her mind, kidnapped her daughter," the Librarian explains. "Also, aliens may be attacking. It's not very noble, but I doubt that this isn't what a good amount of people wouldn't do."

Diving behind some dustbins, Mickey is able to avoid capture. The soldiers run past, weapons at the ready as he watches them from his hidey-hole.

Ruby's jaw drops. "How?!"

"Raise your hands above your head!" the man repeats. "You are under arrest!"

The Doctor does so, with a large smile on his face. Rose follows suit. However, she remains a bit more reserved and worried.

"Take me to your leader!" the Doctor orders, chuckling to himself.

The Librarian chuckles as well. When everyone turns to look at him, he explains saying, "it's a cliche of what human media had aliens say when they would come to invade."

Laughing, Yang smirks, adding, "then I can't wait for him to deal with the true invasion."

Rose is shoved into the back of a police cruiser with the Doctor. One of the soldiers, who escorted Rose inside, slams the door shut and slaps the trunk.

"This is a bit posh," Rose comments as the car begins to move. "If I knew it was going to be like this, being arrested, I would have done it years ago."

"We're not being arrested, we're being escorted," the Doctor corrects, still sporting a smile.

Rose frowns. "Where to?"

"Where do you think?" he asks with a chuckle. "Downing Street."

"Finally!" Ruby smiles. "The Doctor's gotta deal with these guys pretty quickly right?"

"Yeah," Yang adds. "This 'episode' is almost done. It's not like he can lose, right."

"..." The Librarian remains quiet.

"Right?!"

"You're kidding," Rose smiles.

"I'm not!"

"10 Downing Street?"

The Doctor smiles. "That's the one!"

"Oh, my God," Rose giggles. "I'm going to 10 Downing Street? How come?"

Nodding, the Doctor turns his attention to his companion. "I hate to say it," he groans, "but Mickey-" (yes, Mickey) "-was right. Over the years I've visited this planet a lot of times. And I've been, uh, noticed."

"Now they need you?"

"Like it said on the news. They're gathering experts in alien knowledge. And who's the biggest expert of the lot?" The Doctor smiles cheekily, waiting for an answer.

"It definitely couldn't be a 900-year-old alien," Blake chuckles.

Qrow snaps his fingers. "Gotta be Rose then," he chuckles.

Rose frowns, faking confusion. "Patrick Moore?"

"Who?" Weiss asks.

When the Librarian doesn't answer, ELI responds. "Sir Patrick Moore was an English astronomer who attained prominence in the field as a writer, researcher, radio commentator, and television presenter."

With a nod of understanding, the Doctor asks, "apart from him!"

"Oh, don't you just love it," Rose laughs.

"I'm telling you! Lloyd George, oh, he used to drink me under the table."

ELI doesn't miss a beat. "Lloyd George served as Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922."

"Who's the Prime Minister now?"

Rose shrugs. "How should I know?" she asks as the car pulls to a stop. "I missed a year."

Cameras flash and news people clamor as the Doctor steps out of the car. He waves at them, earning a few back, and mugs for cameras. He then quickly runs to the other side of the car and rushes past Rose, smiling gleefully as he runs inside.

"Oh, my God!" she murmurs as she follows the Doctor into 10 Downing Street.

"So she's all right?" Jackie asks, now sitting back in her flat, surrounded by police officers. "She's not in any trouble?"

"No thanks to you," Yang grumbles.

A large man in a black uniform steps inside and places his jacket over a chair. "Well, all I can say is, your daughter and her companion might be in a position to help the country. We'll need to know how she made contact with this man, if he is a man." He sits down across from Jackie with an 'oomph', causing his stomach to rumble. "Right," he orders, turning to his police force, "off you go, then. I need to talk with Mrs. Tyler on my own, thank you."

His stomach gurgles once more as the two officers leave, leaving him with Jackie.

Weiss' eyes go wide. "You don't think…"

"He does seem to fit the trend of the others," Ruby nods. "And it proves that there are more of these aliens than just the three we know."

As calmly as she could, Harriet Jones makes her way from the Cabinet Room and back down the stairs where more policemen are guarding the area. "Harriet Jones," she greets, pulling out her ID card for one of the guards, "MP for Flydale North."

"Does she really need to do that every time?" Blake giggles.

"I like it," Yang smirks. "She gets to the point quickly."

The guard nods and lets her in. People chat aimlessly as she makes her way through the crowd. She passes the Doctor and Rose while doing her best to avoid eye contact with Green, Margeteret, or Asquith, as they are three of the many people here.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Ganesh welcomes, stepping into the room. "Can we convene?" He pushes his way through the group and opens a door to an assembly room. "Quick as we can, please. It's this way on the right, and can I remind you, ID cards are to be worn at all times."

The Doctor and Rose are stopped as they try to enter, with Ganesh handing him one of the plastic identifiers.

"Here's your ID card." Ganesh then turns and nods at Rose, stating, "I'm sorry. Your companion doesn't have clearance."

"And why not?" Ruby frowns.

"She's a civilian," Qrow explains. "And even though she's with the Doc, she still hasn't got clearance."

Tossing the ID over his neck, the Doctor counters saying, "I don't go anywhere without her."

Ganesh shakes his head. "You're the Code Nine, not her. I'm sorry, Doctor. It's, uh, Doctor, isn't it? She'll have to stay outside." Hearing the commotion, Harriet Jones makes her way over to the assembly room.

"She's staying with me," the Doctor repeats.

"Look," Ganesh pleads, "even I don't have clearance to go in there. I can't let her in and that's a fact."

Rose turns to the Doctor and gives a small smile, rubbing his shoulder. "It's all right. You go."

"Excuse me," Harriet Jones interrupts, "are you the Doctor?"

"Yes!" Yang cheers. "Finally they meet!"

"Doctor," the Librarian mimics, lifting an imaginary wallet. "Time Lord for Gallifrey."

"Sure?"

Shaking his head and rolling his eyes, Ganesh turns to the MP. "Now now," he groans. "We're busy. Can't you go home?"

"I just need a word in private."

"Just tell him now," Weiss hisses. "Before he is stuck in a room with them."

"Warn him, at least," Ruby agrees.

The Doctor, following Rose's suggestion, squirms past and steps inside, offering a small smile to Rose as the doors close behind him. "I suppose so," he says, talking to his companion. "Don't get into any trouble."

"You haven't got clearance. Now leave it," Ganesh finishes, turning away from Harriet Jones and back to Rose. He begins to usher her away, saying, "I'm going to have to leave you with security."

Realizing the opportunity to be alone with Rose, Harriet Jones runs up and grabs Rose's hand. "It's all right, I'll look after her," she offers to Ganesh.

"Good," Blake nods. "At least Rose will find out. And then she can tell the Doctor."

"Let me be of some use." The man nods and Harriet Jones begins to escort Rose away. "Walk with me," she whispers. "Just keep walking. That's right, don't look around." She pauses only to pull out her ID card, flashing it for Rose to see. "Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North," she greets as they walk up the stairs and back towards the Cabinet Room.

Team RWBY mimics the woman's actions before falling into giggles.

Green and Asquith march to the front of the assembly room as everyone else begins to sir. The Doctor grabs a chair in the back of the room and begins reading the file that was sitting atop it. Within seconds, he had combed through every page before most of the other occupants opened theirs.

"That's so unfair," Blake sighs.

The Librarian nods in agreement. "Yeah. But nothing is better than taking a long time to read something. It really flushes out all the emotions."

"This friend of yours," Harriet Jones asks, "he's an expert, is that right?" Her breathing starts to shake and her bottom lip trembles. "He knows about aliens?"

"Why do you want to know?"

Instead of responding, Harriet Jones falls into tears and begins to sob. Rose quickly does her best to comfort the woman but is confused by whatever might have been causing Harriet Jones to act this way.

"Poor Harriet," Ruby frowns. "She's been scared and alone. And she doesn't know who to trust.

"Especially after what she went through, I wouldn't blame her," Yang agrees.

Asquith sets down his folder. "Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention, please," he begins. "As you can see, from the summaries in front of you, the ship had one porcine occupant."

"That's what you want us to think," Weiss growls.

"Of course the really interesting bit," the Doctor interrupts, wrapping his hand around the folder and waving it like a ruler, "is what happened three days ago, see?" He stands up and begins marching to the front of the room as he talks. "Filed away under Any Other Business, the North Sea satellite detected a signal, a little blip of radiation, at one hundred fathoms, like there's something down there. You were just about to investigate and the next thing you know, this happens.

"So all of this was to keep themselves from being found?" Qrow asks.

"Or it just accelerated their timeframe," Ruby offers.

"Spaceships. Pigs. Massive diversion. From what?"

Rose's eyes are wide as Harriet Jones rests Charles' skin on the Cabinet Room's table.

"They turn the body into a suit," Harriet Jones explains. "A disguise for the thing inside!" Once again, she begins to cry, muffling her sobs behind her hands.

Grabbing her hands, Rose tries to comfort her once more. "It's all right, I believe you. It's… it's alien. They must have some serious technology behind this. If we could find it, we could use it." Rose begins to run around the room, pulling out drawers, checking the underside of the table, and even checking underneath papers. Just as she reached the opposite end of the room, she opened a cupboard, opposite to the one Harriet Jones hid in before, and out fell an unreactive body. "Oh, my God!" Rose yelps, leaping back.

Everyone jumps at the body's flop.

"Who is that?" Blake gasps.

"Looks like Tony Blair," the Librarian answers.

"Who?"

Harriet Jones steps forward, trembling. "Is that-?"

"Harriet," Ganesh interrupts, walking inside towards the women, not noticing the body. "For God's sake! This has gone beyond a joke. You cannot just wander-" He freezes when he examines the room. "Oh, my God," he whispers in shock. "That's the Prime Minister!"

"If aliens fake an alien crash, and an alien pilot, what do they get?" the Doctor ponders. "Us," he realizes. "They get us. It's not a diversion, it's a trap."

Weiss gasps. "They gathered every alien-specialist in one room!"

"They're sitting ducks," Yang growls. "Get out of there, Doctor!"

Rose, Ganesh, and Harriet Jones all stand around in shock as the lifeless body of the Prime Minister lays below them.

"Oh," someone behind them whispers, causing everyone to jump and turn around. "Has someone been naughty?" Margaret Blaine slams the door shut as she blocks the entrance, a large, twisted smile on her face.

"Run!" Ruby yells. "Run!"

"Or call the Doctor!" Blake offers.

Jackie, still with the instructor, walks into her kitchen to grab a glass of water. "It was bigger on the inside!" she explains. "I don't know. What do I know about spaceships?" she asks.

"That's what worries me," he explains, standing up. "You see, this man is classified as trouble. Which means that anyone associated with him is trouble." The inspector checks on Jackie, and notices her lack of attention. He then removes his cap, revealing a large metal zipper sticking out of his skull. Blue light begins to shine out as he begins to pull the tab, muttering, "And that's my job… Eliminating trouble."

Weiss gasps. "He is one of them!"

"And she's got no clue or backup," Qrow adds, gulping silently.

Ganesh, ignoring Margaret's intrusion, kneels down to study the body while Rose, seeing Harriet Jones' reaction to the woman, steps back. "That's impossible, he left this afternoon! The Prime Minister left Downing Street. He was driven away!"

"And who told you that?" Margaret asks, stepping closer to the three interlopers. "Hmm? Me!" She tosses her purse to the side then makes a slow-motion of reaching for her hairline and the zipper hidden underneath.

"And Charles was in charge of the car itself!" Blake remembers.

"They probably killed him in this room and shoved him into that closet," Weiss guesses. "Then lied and said he left."

"This is all about us," the Doctor continues, eyes going wider. "Alien experts. The only people with knowledge how to fight them gathered together in one room." Before he could continue, Green let out a large burst of gas. "Excuse me," the Doctor snaps, turning to face the acting Prime Minister, "do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?"

Green smiles coldly. "Would you rather 'silent but deadly'?"

Despite everything, Yang cannot help but chuckle. "I'm sorry, but that was kind of good."

He nods to Asquith, who quickly takes off his cap and reveals his zipper. With another burst of blue light and the hum of an alien sound, Asquith, no, the alien inside begins to slip off its skin.

The conference watches in shock as Green laughs, his subordinate removing the false persona and revealing its true form.

Back in the cabinet room, Rose, Harriet Jones, and Ganesh all witness the same thing as Margaret, or the creature using her identity as a disguise, pulls itself free.

Jackie, still in her kitchen, notices the blue light. She slowly makes her way back into the living room and screams as the creature pulls down the skin.

Still chuckling, Green and the Doctor watch with very different expressions as the alien steps out, fully revealed. It was tall, almost 8 feet (2.4 meters), and bulbous. Its green skin was smooth and veiny. Large knife-like claws were attached to the creature's long and fat forearms. Strangely, the face was almost infantlike with two gigantic black eyes. Almost attached to its neck as a mechanical device, which began to hum as it finished growling.

"We are," it gargled, "the Slitheen."

"Oh, my Oum," Ruby gasped.

"That's so creepy!" Weiss adds.

Blake gulps. "It looks like a child with claws and green skin."

"How did it even fit in the skin?" Yang asks.

"I've seen a lot of messed up stuff," Qrow croaks, taking yet another swig from his flask. "But that takes the cake."

Margaretheen grabs Ganesh around the neck, pouncing upon him instantly. Without so much as a grunt, she lifts the man well above her and almost bangs his head on the ceiling. Rose and Harriet Jones jump back in terror, their jaws completely unhinged.

He struggled as much as he could. But Ganesh's weak slaps on the monster's arms soon fell still as his body went limp.

"No!" Yang yelled, her eyes flickering red.

Blake's ears fall flat on the back of her head. "He was just doing his job…"

"A rightful life, a wrongful death," the Librarian murmurs.

Screaming, Jackie runs back into her kitchen as the alien in her household swipes at her and squeezes through the doors.

"Get something to defend yourself with!" Weiss orders. "Or at least try to escape."

"Definitely don't run into a corner," Yang adds.

Green stands up slowly, reaching inside his jacket pocket and pulling out a black box with a red cap. "Thank you all for wearing your ID cards," he chuckles, flipping the tab back and revealing a red button. "They'll help to identify the bodies." With no hesitation, he presses the button.

A small alarm begins to go off as electricity pours out from the ID badges. Everyone in the room, with the exception of Green and Asquitheen, begins to shake as blue-lightning courses visibly across their bodies. Even the Doctor falls to his knees, unable to do anything but listen to the sound of Green laugh in harmony with an alien chuckle.

"No!" Team RWBY yells as the screen goes dark.

"That can't be the end!" Ruby yells. "The Doctor can't die! He needs to save Rose!"

"And stop the aliens," Yang adds with a snarl.

Everyone turns to the Librarian. He sighs, then offers a small smile. "There is another episode."

"Oh thank goodness," Weiss gasps.

"Why didn't you say so?" Qrow snaps. "Hurry up and play the darn thing!"

"Well," the traveler chuckles. "Look who's interested now."

Blake shakes her head. "I just can't believe the Doctor could die. These… Slitheen are terrifying."

"They aren't the first to get that close, and I promise they won't be the last," the Librarian comforts. "There is still much of the Doctor's journey that still needs to be told."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Yang growls. "Start it up!"

"Only if he says the words." The Librarian points a finger at Qrow. Instantly, every eye turns to him. Ruby even starts to give him her puppy-dog-eyes.

"Fine," he grumbles. "Hobey-ho."

"Yes!"

A brief note here. I am having internet troubles up the wazoo right now. And, to be honest, the next two chapters, while already done, aren't in the best of shape yet. I think I'll hold those off for maybe a week, then upload them. Once again, thank you all for a fantastic year. I'm sorry about the late update.

Read on, warriors!
