Back at it again! The reunion is well underway, but does that mean much success?!

Let me know your thoughts!

The Fake Prophecy

Just as Rose heard the Dalek start to speak, probably to warn her of her imminent death, she slammed her eyes shut, not able to watch her final few moments. She was sure she heard the TARDIS door open and the Doctor's voice, but she assumed it was just in her mind. Right before she was going to open her eyes she felt familiar hands grab onto her and push her backwards, not even having time to scream before she felt the metal grating of the console room underneath her. As she registered this fact, her head fell hard against the hard floor, bouncing two times before everything went dark.

Meanwhile, the Doctor had pushed Rose rather hard back towards the safety of the TARDIS to see a Dalek mere feet from him. Hearing Donna squealing about Rose and the Dalek, he attempted to block her out, wondering if he could move fast enough before the Dalek attacked.

"Doctor!" the Dalek shrieked, its wire whisk hand moving towards him, thankfully forgetting Rose.

"Hello," the Doctor calmly said to the Dalek, his eyebrows raising as he practically dared the Dalek to shoot him. Even while he was facing death the Doctor couldn't help but taunt the bane of his existence. "Did you miss me?"

Right as the Dalek was preparing to kill the Doctor a gun ray from the side of the TARDIS shot out and automatically destroyed the Dalek, leaving an empty shell. They were safe, no one had died. Against all odds, something had gone as planned.

"Get into the TARDIS!" Captain Jack ordered, coming out from behind the TARDIS with a huge gun in his arms, obviously having just used his Vortex Manipulator to find the Doctor.

"Jack?" the Doctor asked, standing still as Jack ran towards him. It was then that he remembered the fact that Rose was only inches away from him and spun around to see if she was okay.

"Doctor, Rose just passed out," Donna announced as she knelt down next to the unconscious blonde. She glanced up at the Doctor, a knowing smile filling her lips as he stood absolutely still, a look of shock frozen on his face.

"Rose," the Doctor whispered, falling onto his knees next to Rose's limp form. Breathing a sigh of relief that she was just unconscious, the Doctor leaned forwards, his lips a hairbreadth's away from Rose's lips as he just stared at her.

By then Jack had lumbered onto the TARDIS, nearly knocking Donna over in the process. Not that she minded in the slightest, though… "Doctor, we really should get that door closed," Jack said, trying to get the frozen Time Lord to listen to him.

"Yeah," the Doctor mumbled as he swiftly stood up, picking up Rose bridal style as he did so. "Thank you, Jack," he quickly added as Jack quickly closed the door, only to be immediately in front of Donna.

As Donna tried to get as close to Jack as possible, she kept one eye on the Doctor and Rose. If there was one thing she longed to see, it was both the Doctor's and Rose's face when they were finally reunited. Still, she couldn't miss an opportunity to flirt with someone as attractive as Captain Jack Harkness.

Gently placing Rose onto the jump seat, the Doctor perched on the edge, repeatedly scanning Rose with his sonic screwdriver to make sure he didn't hurt her. Once that was done he knew he was just going to have to wait, and for the moment he didn't care about anything else.

"Humph," Rose groaned, finally coming to with a pounding in the back of her head. Opening her eyes she saw the Doctor's face right in front of her and she automatically smiled, his face mirroring hers as well.

Before either of them were able to speak again the TARDIS lights flickered out, the entire ship losing all of its power. "They've got us," the Doctor announced, reluctantly leaving Rose's side and running around the controls. "Power's gone. Some kind of chronon loop."

"There's a massive Dalek ship at the center of the planets. They're calling it the Crucible," Jack announced, managing to pull away from Donna and sit on the jump seat next to Rose, throwing his arm around her shoulders with a wide smile. "Guess that's our destination. "

Donna glanced at Rose before continuing on with what she was thinking. "You said these planets were like an engine. But what for?"

"Rose, you were trapped in Pete's world," the Doctor said, spinning around as he walked over behind the jump seat and placed a comforting hand on her back. "Is time running ahead of this universe?"

"No, it's behind, actually," Rose responded, comforted by the Doctor's light touch. "All that has happened for us is the stars going out…it was so dark at night."

"And you…" the Doctor whispered, resting his chin on the top of her head as he spoke. "You found a way back to me? So I could help?"

Rose couldn't help but let out a quiet giggle, turning around so that she was kneeling on the jump seat and threw her arms around the Doctor. "Of course, we needed you. And the dimensions were starting to collapse, that's when the cannon started working. It was in all worlds, all of reality was crumbling…even the Void was dead."

"And Clara?" the Doctor asked as she released him from the hug. "Clara came with you?" he questioned again.

"Well, yeah," Rose answered, sending a toothy smile at the Doctor. Just as she spoke she felt a jolting of the TARDIS, glancing up to see Jack and Donna stabilizing themselves as well. "We're here, aren't we?"

Nodding his head, the Doctor gave Rose her answer as he moved from his position to look at the data. "We'll have to go out. Because if we don't, they'll get it."

"Doctor, you always said we would be safe in here," Rose countered as her eyebrows furrowed. She didn't like this, she was absolutely terrified. Even after all that had happened for them to get back, she would be forced to face the Dalek's again. And she didn't want to die, not now. "You promised nothing could get through those doors."

Jack ran over to the controls, looking over the Doctor's shoulder at something. "You've got extrapolator settings," Jack reminded the Doctor, hoping for a way out of this.

"I'm so sorry, Rose," the Doctor explained, a broken look on his face when he looked at his friends. "I was wrong, the last time we fought the Daleks, they were scavengers and hybrids, and mad. But this is a fully-fledged Dalek Empire, at the height of its power. Experts at fighting with a TARDIS, they can do anything. Right now, that wooden door is just wood."

"Can't you use that dimension jump, Rose?" Jack questioned as he came up behind Rose with a hopeful expression.

"It needs to charge," Rose explained with a sigh. "Needs another twenty minutes at least…and I'm not leaving."

"Rose, you need to get back to Clara," the Doctor replied with a sharp glance her direction. "Jack, does your teleport work?"

Jack sighed, glancing down at his watch for a moment. "Went down when the power went out."

"Right then," the Doctor said, looking at each of his companions for a moment. "We all go together, Donna?" he continued, looking over at Donna as she spaced out for a moment. "Donna? I'm sorry, this is what we have to do."

"I know…" Donna sadly replied. "Daleks…"

"It's been good, though, hasn't it? All of us. All of it," the Doctor spoke, looking mournful for a moment as he glanced at Rose. "Everything we did together, Rose, all we had. It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant," he said, glancing over at Donna next with a sad smile. "And you were brilliant," he continued, looking at Jack next. "Even you were brilliant. Blimey…"

With those final words, the Doctor pushed the door open, stepping out to see countless Daleks waiting outside of the TARDIS. Donna and Jack following right behind him, Rose stood still for a moment, taking in the final images of the TARDIS she had so sorely missed.

"Rose, please come out here with me," the Doctor called out from outside of the TARDIS just as Rose began making her way out back to him.

However, just before she reached the ramp towards the door something happened. The police box's doors slammed shut practically in her face, shocking her for a moment. Reaching out to push the doors open, she found them stuck. "Doctor? Open the door please, I don't want to be in here alone."

"It won't open?" the Doctor asked, rushing over towards the TARDIS and attempting to open the doors from the outside. Even with the help of his sonic the door wouldn't budge. "Rose, what's happening?" he questioned, only to get a quiet plea to help before he turned towards the Dalek, his eyes full of fury. "Stop it! Let her go! Please, just open the door and let her come out to me. Please, just don't hurt her!"

"This is Time Lord treachery!" the Dalek announced in its angry voice.

"Me?" the Doctor gaped, banging on the door once more. "I didn't do it…I would never hurt her. The door just closed down on its own."

"Doctor!" Rose screamed as loud as she could, banging on the unyielding door. "I'm scared, Doctor. Please…just get me out of here! Doctor!"

"Nevertheless, the TARDIS is a weapon and it will be destroyed!" the Dalek explained just as it had before. At its words a trapdoor opened under the TARDIS, causing the ship to drop through the empty chasm.

Watching in horror as the TARDIS fell from view the Doctor turned towards the Dalek looking absolutely murderous. "What are you doing?" he screeched. "Please! Just, bring it back! Just let Rose off! Please, don't hurt her! Where's it going? What the hell have you done?"

"The Crucible has a heart of Z-neutrino energy. The TARDIS will be deposited into the core," the Dalek said, its voice uncaring and cold as usual.

"You can't!" the Doctor yelled, tearing at his hair. "You've even taken the defenses down. Please, it'll be torn apart! And you'll kill Rose. She didn't do anything! Please, just let her go, please! Let her live and I'll help you, I swear."

"Let her go!" Donna agreed with the Doctor. "Rose is in there, just let her out safely."

"The female and the TARDIS will perish together. Observe," the Dalek said, an image of the TARDIS dying surrounded by molten lava, catching on fire as well. Rose and the TARDIS were both about to die. "The last child of Gallifrey is powerless!"

The Doctor fell down on his knees in front of the Dalek, his hearts breaking. "Please! I'm begging you. I'll do anything!" the Doctor yelled, knowing his efforts were useless. "Put me in her place instead. Please, she can't die yet! She just can't. I can't do this to her, can't break my promise again! Please, she deserves better than this. You can do anything to me, I don't care! Beat me through all my regenerations, just get her out of there!"

"You are connected to the TARDIS. Now feel it die!" the Dalek screeched, gleeful in its plan.

A different Dalek began to talk now. "Total TARDIS destruction in ten rels. Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."

Each word the Doctor's face fell, hardly believing this was actually happening. Rose had just gotten back to him and now she was gone. He had failed, he wasn't strong enough to save her.

"The TARDIS has been destroyed," the Dalek announced. "Now tell me, Doctor. What do you feel? Anger? Sorrow? Despair?"

"Yeah," the Doctor whispered, his voice breaking as his face fell into his hands. He felt the tears run down his cheeks, but he didn't even care. He hadn't just failed Rose, he had failed their daughter. Now she wouldn't have her mother and if the Dalek's plan worked, Clara wouldn't even get to meet her father.

"Then if emotions are so important, surely we have enhanced you?" the Dalek laughed, being as sarcastic as a Dalek can be.

Seeing the Doctor in so much agony, Jack jumped forwards at the Dalek's. "Yeah? Feel this!" he yelled, pulling out a small gun and shooting at a Dalek.

"Exterminate!" the Dalek easily replies, automatically zapping Jack with its laser as he fell to the ground limp and dead. For now, at least.

"Jack!" Donna shrieked, kneeling next to Jack as the Doctor glanced over at Jack's limp body. "Oh, he's dead!"

Groaning as he pushed himself to his feet, the Doctor's face grew scarily determined. The fury of a Time Lord prevalent on every feature of his face. "Donna, come over here. Just leave him be. I know they killed him and I'm sorry, but just come here. They killed Rose, there is nothing else we can do."

Not long after that the Doctor and Donna found themselves in Davros's presence, his empty eye sockets turned towards them. "Activate the holding cells," Davros orders as two lights shone down at the Doctor and Donna. "Excellent. Even when powerless, a Time Lord is best contained."

"Still scared of me?" the Doctor asked, his eyes turning manic as he threw himself at Davros as far as the cell would allow him to. "After all you've taken away from me, I am still winning. I still have power and I willdestroy you."

Ignoring the Doctor's threats, Davros rolled closer to the Doctor before he spoke again. "It is time we talked, Doctor," he continued with a short cackle. "After so very long and after you have lost so much. Yes, let's have a chat when you are at your worst."

"No, no, no, no, no. We're not doing the nostalgia tour," the Doctor responded in a cool voice, his anger boiling under the surface. "I want, no need, to know what's happening right here, right now. Why are you doing this? The Supreme Dalek said Vault, yeah? As in dungeon, cellar, prison. You're not in charge of the Daleks, are you? They've got you locked away down here in the basement like, what, a servant? Slave? Court jester? Look at you!" the Doctor laughed. "You're even worse than me!"

"We have an arrangement," Davros protested. "It is none of your business, anyway!"

"No, no, no, no, no," the Doctor said, repeating the same word over and over with more anger each time. "No, I've got the word. You're the Dalek's pet!"

"So very full of fire, is he not," Davros said, now trying to get under the Doctor's skin once more. "And to think of your precious Rose…all she went through to find you again. Only to be destroyed within minutes of your pathetic little reunion. How absolutely tragic…to travel through the dimensions to find her love only to lose it all again."

The Doctor was practically hissing as Davros spoke. How dare he taunt him like that? There was nothing that he could say that the Doctor hadn't repeated to himself over and over again. "You are not worthy to mention her!"

"She is mine to do as I please," Davros responded. "In fact, she isn't anyone's now. Because she is dead, Doctor. Rose is dead.

Donna couldn't stand to see the Doctor's broken face, so turned towards Davros again, her own anger fuming. Her best friend was breaking, she had to protect him. "Then why did you keep me? Why am I alive?"

"You must be here," Davros explained, his voice pitying to Donna. "It was foretold. Even the Supreme Dalek would not dare to contradict the prophecies of Dalek Caan."

It was then that a Dalek in a broken casing rolled up, the shriveled true creature shifting as it breathed. "So cold and dark. Fire is coming. The endless flames."

Eyes widening in horror at the sight, Donna breathed out in surprise. The thing was hideous and terrible. And it was still alive, that was the worst thing. "What the hell is that thing?"

"You've not met before," the Doctor said, his voice still unstable as he glanced over at Donna. "I'll introduce you. Donna, the last of the Cult of Skaro, Dalek Caan. But it flew into the Time War, unprotected."

"Caan did more than that," Davros spoke up again, confident in his words. "He saw time. Its infinite complexity and majesty, raging through his mind," he continued, gesturing towards Donna. "And he saw you. Both of you. Your timelines merging in on each other, creating something entirely new."

Caan spoke up next, pointing his little tentacle at the cages. "This I have foreseen, in the wild and the wind," he continued, his voice pausing for a moment from the effort. "The Doctor will be here as witness, at the end of everything. The Doctor and his precious Children of Time. And one of them will die. Another one. We already got rid of his favorite, the young blonde. Rose, she was fantastic, wasn't she, Doctor?"

"It was you, Caan!" the Doctor yelled, the fire back burning behind his eyes. "You killed Rose! Why did you kill her? Why did you lock her inside of the TARDIS and let them both burn? Tell me! She didn't deserve that and I will get my revenge! Oh, trust me, you did not make a good choice to kill Rose! Now, tell me why!"

"Oh, there it is!" Davros laughed at the Doctor's expression. "We have unlocked it! The anger, the fire, the rage of a Time Lord who butchered millions. There he is, we brought it out! Why so shy? Show your companion. Show her your true self. Just think how Rose would feel if she was still alive! Avenge her death! Dalek Caan has promised me!"

"I have seen," Caan said, talking to Davros now. "At the time of ending, the Doctor's soul will be revealed. It will crumble and show us all he has done!"

The Doctor was silent for a moment, glaring at the floor as he tried to hold up the weight that was struggling to trap him. Everything was breaking, their evil plan was working and they took Rose down with them. The moment when he was positive Rose had been killed by the Dalek when she wasn't fast enough to get through the door. And that was nothing compared to what he felt now. At least before, when Rose was trapped in the parallel universe, he had known she was safe and with her family. She didn't have him, but she had Clara. And now she was dead and it was all his fault. "What does that mean?" he managed to choke out.

"We will discover it together!" Davros laughed at the Doctor's expression. "Our final journey together. Because the ending approaches, not just for you, but for all the worlds. The testing begins now! Watch and see what you have done, Doctor!"

"Testing?" the Doctor asked, looking up with interest. He didn't want to care anymore, nothing mattered now that he had killed Rose, but he couldn't help but asking. What are you testing?"

"The Reality bomb."

As soon as she felt the ship being dropped to its death, Rose was thrown about the TARDIS console room, hardly believing her terrible luck. Here she was, just minutes after being reunited with the Doctor and she was going to die. And not only would she die, but the Doctor's constant companion, his precious blue ship would as well. Rose let out a squeak as she was catapulted against the jump seat, barely gripping onto the seat to steady herself. Everything was exploding and fires were breaking out everywhere in this oh so familiar room.

"What do I do?" Rose screeched to no one. She was totally unable to think of one thing that would get her out of this predicament. All she hoped was that the Doctor would get out of this terrible situation alive and get back to Clara. Sure Rose wouldn't be there, but Clara would be safe with her father. If worst came to worst, Rose assumed that Jack would be able to get back to Earth since he couldn't die.

Just as tears were beginning to fill Rose's eyes she heard a sound she had been dreaming about for months. The unmistakable sound of the TARDIS materializing, the sound of the universe. And it sounded close, as if it was just a few feet away and not from her memory.

Jerking her head towards the noise, Rose's mouth dropped open as the TARDIS's shape came into true form right in front of her. It looked the same at first, but as she pushed onto her unsteady feet and stumbled towards the blue box, she realized there were slight differences. There was an insignia on the door that hadn't been there before, and it said the Bells of Saint John.

Rose jumped back, narrowly missing a patch of fire, when she heard the distinctive noise of the door opening. She watched, unsure if she should be horrified or relieved, as the door opened the entire way.

"Hello," a man she recognized meeting once in the past wearing a bowtie exclaimed as he hopped out of the TARDIS. "Did you miss me?"

And here is where everything changes completely! I didn't want to deal with the metacrisis, so we invited someone new into the mix...guess who?
