The Time Lady and her Boys

[Doctor Who Fanfiction: The Doctor/Time Lady OC/The Master]

Chapter 8: Voyage of the Damned

Summary of the chapter: After having the Titanic smash into the TARDIS, The Doctor, Master and Fighter go to investigate the ship.


The Doctor and The Master ran to the console as The Fighter tossed the life preserver out of the way. They then got the walls to materialize inside the TARDIS, pushing the ship out. The Doctor ran to the doors opening them to find himself looking at a supply closet.

The Doctor stepped out and opened another door which led to a large room filled with Christmas decorations, people walking around dressed in 20th century clothing. The Fighter saw all this and ran out excitedly to look as The Master followed her.

They observed the people around them as the band began to play a slower version of "Jingle Bells" as people were talking and laughing. The Fighter's eyes with sparkling with joy over everything as she loved parties. They began to walk as they spotted two golden angels garbed in white. The Fighter was snapped out of her trance as one of them moved, clearly robots and she jumped back hiding behind The Master. He chuckled at her.

"It Moved! I wasn't expecting that!" She yelled in defense at him as he patted her head. She gave a pout and kept looking at the golden angels as she got this bad feeling in her gut about them.

The Doctor came to a large window looking over earth as The Fighter and The Master followed behind. The Fighter gave a gasp. "Wow it's beautiful. Now this is a view I've always dreamed to see. Way better than reading about it."

The Doctor looked at her surprised with a smile along with The Master. "You could have told me that a long time ago. I would have shown it to you sooner." The Doctor told her as she shook her head.

"We were too busy running around and saving people. Besides, I'd rather share this view with the two of you. It's more special that way!" She added in grinning as she continued looking down at the Earth below them. It was an amazing planet with amazing people who were still growing, full of so much potential.

"Attention All passengers, The Titanic is now in orbit above Sol 3, also known as Earth. Population: Human. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Christmas." The Fighter's eyes began to sparkle with joy when she heard Christmas.

"Oh It's Christmas. I remember one time Elizabeth and I..." Her smile then faded as she remembered Elizabeth was gone now. The Doctor noticed and put a comforting hand on her shoulder as she looked up and smiled but with sad eyes. Whenever something sad happened to her she would always hide it behind a smile trying to appear tough to others but these two knew she was hurting inside and would try everything to cheer her up.

"Hey why don't we get dressed for the occasion. We stand out here." The Master said trying to change the subject as he knew if there was one thing that cheered her up it was dressing up.


The Doctor came out of the TARDIS wearing a black tuxedo along with The Master as The Fighter came out in a long red dress, red heels and wearing her Gallifreyan sun necklace. The two time lords held out their arms for her to take as they walked back into the large room filled with people.

As they walked around, The Master noticed a small screen and stopped to look at it. He pointed it out to the other two as they looked at it. The Doctor pressed a button and they watched as the video began to play.

A bald man with a thin mustache appeared on the screen sitting behind a desk. "Max Capricorn Cruise Liners, the fastest, the farthest, the best. And I should know because my name is Max." He smiled at the camera revealing a gold tooth that shined brightly. The Screen faded and the Cruise liner logo appeared.

The two time lords and the time lady looked at each other as the two lords looked at her dress. She looked beautiful like she always did to them as her dress shined from the lights in the room. She looked over at the two of them noticing they were looking at her as she smiled brightly. She had to admit, they looked handsome in their tuxedo's. She noticed them looking at her longer and looked away blushing and pulling them along as they continued walking.

The Doctor took The Fighter's hand as he pulled her into a dance. She wasn't a good dancer as she couldn't keep up with the beat he was dancing to and kept stepping on his feet. He then stopped as she smiled sheepishly and he gave her a pained look.

"I'm sorry. I'm not a very good dancer." She said scratching the back of her head.

"You're not dancing with the beat Doctor. I'll show you how it's done." The Master grabbed The Fighter's hand as he danced around with her to the beat of the song and she followed a little better as it stayed with a rhythm that repeated over and over.

"Oh wow, I'm not messing up that much." The Fighter said amazed that she was dancing a little easier now than before. The Master looked over at The Doctor smirking in victory as The Doctor pouted. After dancing, they walked over to reception.

"Merry Christmas, sirs and Madam." A steward greeted them.

"Merry Christmas" The Doctor and Fighter said back as The Master ignored, not being one for human holidays.

They passed by a man talking into a communication device loudly. "It's not a holiday for me, not while I've still got Vone. Now do as I say and sell!" They watched as he walked off and The Doctor approached a robotic golden angel. The Fighter was getting that bad feeling again as she looked at it. She grabbed The Master's hand holding it tight as she looked at it. He noticed and looked at her.

"You ok?" He asked looking at her as she watched the angel closely. She broke from her trance and looked up at him smiling. "I'm fine. It's just, don't those angels give you a bad feeling or is it just me?"

"They are a little creepy I'll admit but they can't mean no harm." He replied back to her as she looked back at the angel to see The Doctor gesture them over.

"Evening, Passengers 56, 57 and 58. Terrible memory. Remind me, uh you would be?" The Doctor said asking the angel.

"Information: Heavenly Host supplying tourist information"

"Good." The Doctor nodded exchanging looks with The Master and Fighter. "So um...tell me, cos I'm an idiot-"

"Right you are." The Master added in smirking as The Doctor glared.

"Where are we from?" The Fighter asked the angel host trying to change the two subjects on the guys. The two guys looked at her shocked as the angel began to speak.

"Information: The Titanic is en route from the planet Sto in the Cassavalian Belt. The Purpose of the cruise is to experience primitive cultures."

She wondered why it would be called the Titanic. If she remembered correctly from being in school with Elizabeth, The Titanic was a ship you didn't want to be on as it ended in a tragic way.

"The Titanic...I'm curious, who thought of the name?" She asked

"Information: It was chosen as the most famous vessel of the planet Earth."

"Did they tell you why it was famous?" The Doctor asked curious as well.

"Information: All designations are chosen by Mr. Max Capricorn, president of Max, Max, Max" They stepped back as the host started to jerk it's head short circuiting.

"Oh good going Doctor, you broke it." The Master remarked

"Ooh, it's just a bit of a glitch" The Doctor remarked back as he pulled out his sonic screwdriver to fix it but a steward came over.

"Sir, we can handle this." The man said as he waved to a couple of men who hurried over and switched the robot off, dragging it away. "Software problem, that's all" The Steward said looking a little tense but trying not to show it but The Fighter noticed. "Leave it with us Sir's and madam. Merry Christmas."

The steward turned and followed the other stewards "That's another one down. What's going on with these things?" He muttered.


The Fighter whispered to the two of them "That guy seemed tense. After that little incident with the angel, I'm beginning to think there is something up with those things. That's why I keep getting this bad feeling about them."

"We'll have to keep an eye out on them." The Doctor said as he looked around. The Fighter then spotted out a blonde waitress holding a tray of drinks with one she accidently dropped on the floor. "For Tov's sake, look where you're going! This jacket's a genuine Earth antique." The man shouted at the woman as The Fighter's hands turned into fists. She didn't like it when men treated women rudely as it reminded her of her husband and the way he would treat her.

The two time lords looked to see her walking over to the waitress and the man noticing her fists and quickly followed after her before she started trouble. The waitress kneeled down and began to pick up the broken glass as The Fighter appeared before her and she looked up at her. "I-I'm sorry sir and madam, i'll have this-"

The Fighter knelt down and helped pick up the broken glass as the waitress tried to protest against it but The Fighter didn't listen and continued. "Please Miss, I can do this on my own!"

The Man gave a laugh "She probably agree's with me that you're stupid and You'll be sorry when it comes off your wages, Sweetheart. Staffed by idiots. No wonder Max Capricorn is going down the drain."

The Fighter got up holding the broken glass in her hand and looked up at the man glaring. He noticed and looked at her shocked. "Excuse me, Sir"She said the last part darkly as she continued to glare at the man. "You should know better than to treat a woman that way! She accidently spilled a drink on your precious jacket, you're a man! Cry a river, build a bridge and get the hell over it! You'll live." The Man gave her a glare.

The Doctor and Master reached her as The Master covered her mouth as The Doctor explained. "Calm down Tiger." The Master said as she glared at him stopping her and gave a muffled shout in protest. The man than walked away as The Fighter bit The Master's hand and he pulled back in pain. "Ow! Bad Girl! You got quite a bite!" He said smirking at her as she ignored looking at them. She then looked down at the waitress as The Doctor helped her up.

The Master looked a the broken glass in her hand as he took it out of her hand. "You need to be more careful my dear."

The waitress stood up as she looked at The Fighter smiling. "Thank you madam but I can manage."

"I know you can but I refuse to watch a man treat a woman like that. You didn't deserve it." She held out her hand to the waitress smiling. "Hi I'm The Fighter." She shook it then the other two guys greeted themselves.

"I'm The Doctor by the way." He introduced himself shaking her hand.

"The Master." He gave off a wave.

The Fighter looked back at the waitress. "Since we've introduced ourselves may we ask who you are?"

The waitress smiled. "Astrid, Astrid Peth."

"Nice to meet you Astrid Peth." The Doctor said giving her a smile.

"Merry Christmas!" The Fighter exclaimed happily

"Merry Christmas" Astrid blinked at how kind they were being to her."Are you three enjoying the cruise?"

The Fighter's eyes sparkled "Yes! This place is decorated beautifully and you have an amazing view of Earth below!" Astrid smiled brightly at her glad to see she was enjoying the cruise.

"Hmmm...Christmas on a cruise.. Yeah I suppose." The Doctor gave a smile as he looked at The Fighter who was overjoyed.

"Eh It's ok." The Master said shrugging.

The Fighter looked up at Astrid. "So what about you? It's a long way from home, Planet Sto."

"Doesn't feel that different. I spent three years working at the spaceport dinner, travelled all the way here...and I'm still waiting on tables." Astrid said shaking her head and beginning to walk away as the time lords followed after her.

"They don't let you visit Earth?" The Doctor asked

"We're not allowed." Astrid said sighing as she picked up a couple glasses left behind on a table. "They can't afford the insurance. I just wanted to try it, just once. I used to watch the ships heading off to the stars and always dreamt of...it sounds daft." She said shaking her head embarrassed.

"Then I must be daft. You dreamt of another sky, new sun, new air, new life. A whole universe teeming with life right?" The Fighter asked smiling at Astrid.

"Why stand still when there's all that life out there?" The Master asked her as he knew The Fighter was talking about her when she was a child wanting to leave Gallifrey and explore the universe.

Astrid comes out of her trance as she looks at the three of them. "So...you travel a lot?"

"All the time!" The Doctor, Master and Fighter said at the same time.

"Just for fun!" The Doctor added.

"Well that's the plan. More often than not, we're running for our lives but I wouldn't have it any other way!" The Fighter said grinning happily as she put a hand around both of her friends shoulders.

"Must be rich though" Astrid remarked

"Haven't got a penny" The Master said shaking his head. The Fighter whispered "We're stowaways."

"Kidding?" Astrid couldn't believe

"Seriously"

"No!"

"Oh yeah!"

"How did you get on board?"

The three exchanged looks with each other as The Fighter bit her lip. "Accident. I was working on rebuilding my ship and left the defenses down. Ended up bumping right into the Titanic." The Doctor said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Here we are. Bit of a party. Why not take a break and crash it. Celebrate and all?" The Master said looking around the room with a smirk.

"I should report you." Astird said as The three of them grinned.

"Go on then." The Doctor and Fighter said.

"Along you go." The Master said.

Astrid hesitated and turned back to them. "I'll get you three a drink." She whispered "On the house" she said walking past a table with a group of first class passengers who were laughing and pointing at the table across from them were a large couple dressed in purple western clothes were eating.

"Just ignore em" The black man said to the white woman next to her.

"Something's tickled them" The Doctor said as pulled out a seat to sit down at their table. The Master and Fighter followed him as well and sat at the table with them.

"They told us it was a fancy dress. Very funny i'm sure." The woman said.

"They're just pickin on us because we haven't paid. We won our tickets in a competition." The man said.

"I had to name the five husbands of Joofie Crystalle in "By the Light of the Asteroid." Did you ever watch..."

"Is that the one with the twins?" The Doctor frowned asking. The Master rolled his eyes clearly bored of the conversation as The Fighter elbowed him listening to the conversation.

"That's it. Marvelous!"

"Probably not good enough for that lot. They think we should be in steerage." The man said pointing over to the people who were laughing at them.

"Can't have that, can we?" The Fighter added in as she pulled out her sonic screwdriver under the table and flashing it. The champagne sitting on the laughing people's table popped it's cork and sprayed them all. The Master looked over and laughed at them. "Nice one."

"Did...did you do that?" The woman asked her as she titled her head and blinked her eyes innocently grinning.

"Maybe. A girl has her ways." She said as she put her sonic screwdriver away.

"We like you, and you two as well." The woman said laughing.

"We do." The man added reaching his hand over to introduced himself. "I'm Morvin van hoff. This is my good woman Foon."

"Nice to meet you Foon." The Doctor said shaking her hand. "I'm The Doctor."

"I'm The Fighter." She shook their hands happily.

"The Master." He gave another wave as he wasn't one for handshaking.

"Ooh i'm gonna need a Doctor by the time I'm finished with this buffet." Foon said looking at the pile of food in front of them. "Have a buffalo wing. They must be enormous, these buffalo's, so many wings!"

The Doctor picked up a wing holding it to The Fighter as she took it and offered it to The Master who decided to give it a try since she offered.

"Attention Please, Shore leave tickets Red 6-7 now activated. Red 6-7" The speakers annouced

"Red 6-7" Foon said pulling out a ticket. "That's us!" She then looked at the three time lords."Are you Red 6-7?"

"Might as well be" The Master said getting up as The Doctor and Fighter agreed.

"Come on! We're going to Earth!" Morvin shook his head laughing at them.

They walked a short distance to where an older man was holding up a sign with "6-7" written across it. "Red 6-7! Red 6-7! This way, fast as you can!"

They all hurried over as Astird approached the three time lords carrying a tray with three drinks "I got you those drinks." The Master took a drink and handed it to The Fighter as she shook her head in disapproval. "What if it has alcohol in it? Remember the time with the Shobogans? Yeah I'm not having that again. I hardly remember what happened after I took a drink." She whispered to him as he remembered the incident clearly. He had to admit she was pretty funny and entertaining when she was drunk.

"And we've got a treat for you." The Doctor said as The Fighter took the tray from her sitting it aside. The Doctor grabbed Astrid's arm "Come on." The Doctor looked back at The Fighter and The Master.

"I'll give her my spot. I've seen Earth many times! Go have fun Astrid! Your dream comes true today." The Fighter said as she gestured them off. Astrid ran to hug the time lady in thanks as The Doctor looked to The Master.

"What about you Master?" The Master put a hand on The Fighter's shoulder. "If she's staying, I'm staying. Besides someone needs to keep an eye on our little tiger or she will get in trouble." The Master patted her head as she blushed looking away. "Whatever..." She muttered.

"Red 6-7 departing shortly" The man called out.

The Doctor got out his psychic paper and showed it to the man. "Red 6-7 plus one."

"Uh quickly sir, and please take these two teleport bracelets if you would." The man told them.

"I'll get the sack" Astrid whispered as The Doctor slipped a bracelet on her.

"To repeat, I am Mr. Cooper, the ship's historian" The man standing before them said. "And I shall be taking you to old London town in the country of U.K ruled by good King Wenceslas." The Fighter exchanged a confused look with The Master as they continued watching. "Now human beings worshiped the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws, and his wife Mary." The Fighter tried to hold back her laugh as The Master raised his eyebrow. "And every Christmas Eve, the people of U.K go to war with the country of Turkey." The Doctor blinked at that. "They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner...like savages."

The Doctor cut in frowning "Excuse me, Sorry sorry, but where did you get all this from?"

"Well I have a first class degree in Earthonomics" Mr Cooper said. "Now stand by"

"And me!" A tiny red skinned alien with small spikes called out running towards them "And me! Red 6-7!"

"Well take a bracelet sir."

"Um but um... hold on, hold on. What was your name?" The Doctor asked the tiny alien.

"Bannakaffalatta" The red skinned alien said quickly. The Fighter looked over at him with her eyes sparkling at how cute and tiny he was. The Master noticed and shook his head knowing the girl couldn't resist cute things or people.

"Okay Bannakaffalatta, But it's Christmas Eve down there. Late night shopping, tons of people. He's like a walking conker. No offense, but you'll cause a riot 'cos the streets are going to be packed with shoppers and parties..." Without warning the entire group was transported down to Earth finding themselves in a completely empty street. The Master and Fighter, still on the ship look at each other in laughter. "Shall we continue dancing while we wait for him to come back?" The Master asked her. She nodded and followed him.


The streets were completely empty. No sign of anyone anywhere.

The Doctor looked around "Oh."

"Now spending money. I have a credit card in Earth currency if you want by trinkets or stockings or the local delicacy which is known as Beef. But don't stray too far, it could be dangerous. Any day now they start boxing." Mr Cooper told them.

"Something's wrong, It should be full. It should be busy." The Doctor said looking around confused.

"Oh It's beautiful! Astrid cried looking down awed.

"Really? Do you think so? It's just a street." The Pyramids are beautiful and New Zealand." The Doctor said looking at her.

"But It's a different planet!" Astrid said in amazement gesturing all around. "I'm standing on a different planet. There's concrete and shops, alien shops, real alien shops! Look, no stars in the sky. And it smells..." She gasped "It's stinks!" She exclaimed in delight as she turned to him. "This is amazing! Thank you!" Astrid ran over and hugged him.

"You're very welcome. Come on then, let's have a look." He grabbed her hand as they went across the street where a newsagent booth was and an old man was sitting in winter clothes.

The Doctor greeted him "Hello there! Sorry, uh obvious question but where's everybody gone?"

"Oh ho, scared." The man laughed

"Right yes. Scared of what?"

"Where have you been living? London at Christmas? Not safe, is it?"

"Why?"

"Well it's them up above." The old man said pointing to the sky. "Look Christmas before last we had that big bloody spaceship, everyone standing on a roof." He nodded to the television set beside him showing clips from the past few years. "And then last year, that Christmas star electrocuting all over the place, draining the Thames."

"This place is amazing." Astrid breathed in awe.

"And this year, Lord knows what. So everybody's scarpered, gone to the country. All except me...and her Majesty." He stood proudly and looked at the T.V. "God bless her! We stand Vigil!"

"Well between you and me, I think the Majesty's got it right. Far as I know, this year, nothing to worry about." Before The Doctor could finish, they were teleported back to the ship leaving the man standing there shocked. "Then again..." He fell back into his seat.


"I was mid-sentence!" The Doctor grumbled not happy about being interrupted.

"Yes, I'm sorry about that. A bit of a problem. If I could have your bracelets..." Mr. Cooper explained.

"Apologizes Ladies and gentlemen, Bannakaffalatta" The Chief steward appeared in front of them. "We seem to have suffered a slight power fluctuation. If you'd like to return to the festivities. And on behalf Max Capricorn Cruise Liners, free drinks will be provided."

The man walked away. The Fighter and The Master then spotted out the Doctor and Astrid running towards them. "So how was your first time on Earth?" The Fighter asked Astrid excited to see what she had to say.

"That was the best, the best!" She handed The Doctor her bracelet before getting back to work. The Doctor shook his head and approached the steward as the other time lords followed. "What sort of power fluctuation?"

"Not to worry, Sirs and Madam, Enjoy your evening." He said giving them a tense smile and walked away as the time lords exchanged looks with each other.


Foon and Morvin were eating at their table, enjoying the buffet as the stewards eyed the angel hosts wearily. Bannakaffalatta was dancing in the middle of the room to a slow version of "All I want for Christmas" and Astrid smiled at The three time lords holding the tray of free drinks. The Fighter looked around the room, getting that bad feeling from the angel hosts again as she noticed the stewards looks towards the angels.

"Guys, something's wrong. Can't you feel it in the air?" The Fighter said as she studied the angel hosts more and more. The Doctor and Master looked at her worried. They looked around and could sense the feeling she was talking about. The Doctor and The Master looked at the video of Max Capricorn playing on a loop.

"And I should know because my name is Max," The video finished. The Doctor put his specs on and pulled out his sonic screwdriver, flashing the frame as the video started up again. "The fastest, the furthest, the best...My name is Max."

He opened the frame and changed the settings inside to show the ships inner computer from the bridge. The Doctor and Master looked at each other eyes widening as they realized the ships shields were about to go offline.

The Master looked to see specks of meteors flying towards them. "Well look at that. The Captain is sabotaging the ship!"

The Doctor blinked as he flashed his sonic at a wire, activating communication with the bridge. "Is that the bridge? I need to talk to the Captain. You've got a meteoroid storm coming in. West 0 by North 2."

"Who is this?" The captain called

"Never mind that. Your shields are down. Check your scanners, Captain. You've got meteoroids coming in and no shield!"

"You have no authorization. You will clear the comm at once."

"Yeah? Just look Starboard."

Suddenly two stewards appeared grabbing The Doctor and The Master escorting them out of the room as they called out to The Fighter who was broken from her trance and ran after them.

"Just listen to us! You've got a rock storm heading for this ship and the shields are down!" The Doctor yelled. The Fighter caught up with them and knocked the two stewards unconscious as The Doctor ran up to the stage shouting to everyone. "Everyone listen to me! This is an emergency! Get to the lifeb..." Before he could finish a angel host covered his mouth, allowing a steward to grab hold of him along with The Master and The Fighter. Astrid, Foon, Morvin and Bannakaffalatta looked shocked.

"If you don't believe me, check the shields yourself!"

"Listen to him you idiots or you are all going to die!" The Master yelled.

"Please, there is something suspicious going on with the angel and this ship!" The Fighter yelled in defense.

"Sir I can vouch for him." Astird said catching up with them as they were dragged down a hall.

"Look steward, they've just had a bit too much to drink." Morvin tried as he followed behind with his wife.

"Sir, something seems to have gone wrong. All the teleports are down." Mr. Cooper called after the steward.

"Not now!"

"The Shields are down! We are going to be hit!" The Doctor tried again.

He ignored him again as a voice suddenly called him off. "Oi!" A man with his hair slicked back ran after them "Steward, i'm trying to tell you the shields are down."

"Listen to him!" The three time lords yelled.

A moment later the meteor's hit the ship sending them to the floor. Sparking going off, fires rising and lights going out. They stayed on the floor until everything became calm. The Doctor, The Master and Fighter got up off the floor looking around.

"You guys alright?" The Fighter asked as she looked at them.

"Yeah. How about you tiger?" The Master asked looking her over to make sure she had no injuries.

She gave him a thumbs up and grinned. "I'm a tough girl. I got this!"

The Doctor turned to Astrid and helped her up. "Are you ok?"

"I think so." She said nodding.

"Bad name for a ship. Either that or this suit is really unlucky." The Doctor remarked.

"Ev...everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, Bannakaffalatts, I must apologize on behld of Max Capricorn Cruise Liners. We seem to have had a small collision." The cheif steward said to everyone.

"You know how much I payed for my tickets?" The man with slicked back hair shouted.

"If I could have silence, ladies and gentlemen." The Cheif steward said. "Thank you I'm sure Max Capricorn Cruise Liners will be able to reimburse you for any inconvenience. But first, I would point out that we are very much alive!"

Astrid held Mr. Cooper up as The Doctor leaned in to examine the cut.

The Steward continued "She is after all a sturdy ship. If you could all stay here while I ascertain the exact nature of the situation." He turned to open the door adn was sucked right out of the hall by the vacuum.

Everyone grabbed hold of something as The Doctor struggled his way over to the coom and used his sonic screwdriver to replace the shields. "Oxygen shield stabilized."

"Is everyone alright?" The Doctor asked "Astrid?"

"Yeah" she replied.

"Foon? Morvin? Mr. Cooper? Bannakaffalatta? Fighter? Master?"

"Yes" Bannakaffalatta nodded as the others did too.

"You!" The Doctor pointed the guy with slicked back hair. "What's your name?"

"Ah Rickston Slade."

"Are you alright?"

"No thanks to that idiot."

"The Steward just died!" Astrid said shocked

"Then he's a dead idiot." Rickston replied.

The Fighter began to move forward towards him ready to slap some common sense into him until The Master pulled her back. "Alright right, calm down! Just stay still all of you." The Doctor opened the hatch as Astrid joined him along with The Master and Fighter.

"What happened? How come the shields were down?" Astrid asked

"I don't think it was an accident." The Master stated.

Astrid gasped as she saw the dead bodies of guests and staff members, pieces of ships floating among them. "How many dead?"

"We're alive, try to focus on that." The Fighter replied. "I know it may sound cold but these people will be remembered. I will see to that."

"We will get you out of here Astrid. We promise, look at me. I promise." Astrid looked at them nodding. "If we can get to reception, we've got a spaceship tucked away. We can get on board..."

The three time lords looked to see the TARDIS floating towards Earth away from them. "Oh..."

"What is it?" Astrid asked them

"That's our Spaceship." The Doctor said.

"Where?" Astrid asked confused

"That blue box." The Master said sighing.

"That's a spaceship?" The Master began to laugh.

"Oi! Don't knock it!"

"It's a bit small."

"A bit distant" The Fighter added in.

"Trouble is, once it's set adrift, it's programmed to lock on to the nearest center of gravity and that would be..."

"Earth" The Fighter and Master said at the same time.

The Doctor walked over to the comm and pressed a button. "Deck 22 to the bridge. Deck 22 to the bridge. Is there anyone there? Hello?"

There was no reply for a moment until a voice replied "This is the bridge."

"Oh hello Sailor! Good to hear you. What's the situation up there?"

"We've got air. The Oxygen field is holding but the captain, he's dead. He did it...I watched while he took down the shields. There was nothing I could do. I tried."

"We know, everything is going to be alright. Now no one blames you for anything that's happened. Not at all, remember that. Now what's your name?" The Doctor asked.

"Midshipman Frame."

"Lovely to meet you Midshipman Frame. I'm the Doctor. Can you tell myself and my friends, what is the state of engines?"

"They're um, hold on."

"Have you been injured?" The Fighter asked in.

"I'm alright. Oh my vot. They're cycling down."

"That's a nuclear storm drive, yes?" The Doctor asked.

"Yeah."

"Oh Dear. The Moment they are gone, we lose orbit." The Master added in.

"If we hit the planet, the nuclear storm explodes and wipes out all life on Earth!" The Fighter exclaimed. "We need to stop it!"

"Midshipman listen carefully. I need you to fire up the engine containment field and feed it back into the core." The Doctor told him.

"This is never going to work" Frame said

"Sure, but it will work long enough for The Master, Doctor and I to get to the bridge. Good luck!" The Fighter said turning the comm off.

"We're going to die!" Foon screamed.

"Are you saying someone's done this on purpose?" Mr. Cooper asked

"We're just a cruise ship." Astrid shouted.

"Okay! Okay! First things first, One: we're going to climb through this ship!" The Fighter told them determined.

"Two: We're going to reach the bridge." The Master said

"Three or C: We're going to save the Titanic. And coming in a very low four or D or that little 'IV' in brackets they use in footnotes: Why? Right then...follow us!" The Doctor said.

"Hang on a minute! Who put you in charge and who the hell are you three anyway?" Rickston asked as they turned around smirking.

"I'm The Doctor."

"I'm The Master."

"And I'm The Fighter."

"We are Time Lords and A Time Lady from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborus. We are 903 years old and we are the people who are going to save your lives and six billion of the people on the planet below." All 3 of them said at the same time.

"You got a problem with that?" The Fighter asked him glaring as he shook his head.

"No"

"In that case, Allons-Y!" The Doctor grinned as the three of them set off down the hall.


The Doctor and Master moved a heavy metal door revealing a stairwell inside. The only trouble was that it was littered with debris and broken cables.

"Careful" The Doctor called to the others as they were making their way into the room.

As they continued The Master looked to see a uncovered dormant angel host, partially crushed. "We've got a host. Strength of ten. If we mend it, we can use it to fix the rubble."

"We can do robotics. We worked on the milk market back on Sto. It's all robot staff." Morvin exclaimed.

"See if you can get it working." The Doctor said.

"Lets have a look." The Master said as he kept going and everyone climbed the stairs only to find the path was blocked.

"It's blocked" Astrid sighed.

"So what do we do now?" The Fighter asked.

"We shift it of course. Rickston, Mr. Cooper, and you Bannakaffalatta, can I just call you Banna? It's gonna save me a lot of time." The Doctor asked as the red spiky alien shook his head.

"No! Bannakaffalatta!"

"Alright then, there's a gap in the middle. See if you can get through" The Master said as the alien nodded.

"Easy. Good" He made his way through as the ship lurched sending loose debris falling around them.

"Bannakafflatta made it." He called out to them.

"I'm small enough, I can get through." Astrid said crawling to the other side.

The Fighter had a bad feeling coming to her again as Foon and Morvin worked on the angel host.

"Thing is, how are Mr. and Mrs. Fatso gonna get through this gap?" Rickston asked cruelly.

"Mr. Rickston, I'd advise you to shut up and try to be helpful besides flapping your mouth off which isn't helping you buddy." The Fighter said growling at him. She didn't like rudeness one bit and wouldn't stand for it when people were treated with it.

Morvin and Foon began to laugh. "What happened? Did they find a doughnut?" Rickston asked sarcastically.

The Fighter looked over to him glaring. "You are just asking for me to slap you into another universe buddy!" The Fighter jumped towards him as he flinched back and she turned around, not even touching him as The Master stopped her.

"Calm down my tiger." The Master said as she calmed down.

"I'm going to the other side." She said as he made her way to Astrid and Bannakaffalatta. "I made it."

"Good, see if you can't shift some of it to the other side." The Master told her.

"Okay." The Fighter said as she looked over to see Bannakafflatta on the floor and Astrid looking over him. "Oh no, what's wrong?"

"Can't say..." He said

"Are you hurt?"

"Ashamed." He replied

"Of what?"

"Poor Bannakafflatta." He pulled up his shirt to show he was a cyborg.

"You're a cyborg!"

"Had accident long ago. Secret."

"No but everything's changed now. Cyborgs are getting equal rights. They passed a law back on Sto. You can even get married." Astrid told him.

"Marry you?" He asked hopeful looking between the two woman.

The Fighter shook her head. "Sorry but I got married once. Thought the guy was the one as he treated me so nice. Turns out it was a complete lie and...I-I'm not going to get married for a long time. But I think Astrid and you might be perfect."

"You can buy me a drink first." Astrid said making him chuckle.

The Fighter watched as memories of her and her husband came back to her. The times of them laughing which turned out to be all lies. Her hearts began to hurt but she snapped herself out of her thoughts refusing to let the memories get to her.

"Alright, lets recharge you." The Fighter said as she pressed a button on his chest. "There we go. Now, you just stay there for a moment. We are going to clear a path for the others to get through."

"Tell no one." He said

"Cross my hearts and hope to regenerate!" The Fighter said.

"What's going on up there?" The Master called out sounding worried.

"I think Bannakafflatta and Astrid just got engaged!" The Fighter called out happily.

"Almost done." Morvin called out to them still reparing the angel. The Fighter then gasped.

"Master, Doctor, Tell them to forget about fixing the angel...there is something up with those things!" The Fighter called out to them but The Doctor was busy talking.

"Doctor..." The Master tried to tell him but was interrupted.

"Mr. Frame how's things going?" The Doctor asked to the comm.

"Doctor, I've got life signs all over the ship but they're going out one by one." Frame replied.

"What is it? Are they losing air?"

"No. One of them said it's the host. It's something to do with the host."

The Doctor and Master's eyes widened as Morvin shouted up to them. "It's working!"

"Kill! KILL! KILL!" The host said grabbing hold of Morvin's throat.

"Turn if off!" The Doctor and Master shouted.

"Doctor, Master!" The Fighter yelled as she tried to get through the hole to save them but Astrid blocked her way.

"I can't Doctor!" Foon cried pulling the cables out of the hosts uncovered head.

The Doctor pulled out his sonic as he gestured for The Master and Foon to go upstairs. "Go!"

"Information: Kill, Kill, KILL!"

"Rickston, Master, Get them through!" The Doctor yelled.

"No chance." Rickston said as he threw himself through the opening pushing Astrid and The Fighter out of the way.

"You selfish little...You're a lot safer on the other side Rickston." The Fighter punches him as he flies down to the ground clutching his hurt cheek.

"Master, Please save them!" The Fighter called to him.

"I'll never get through there" Foon said eyeing the opening.

"Yes you can. You want to live right?" The Master asked her.

"Let me go first." Mr. Cooper said as he got through the opening to the other side.

The Doctor saw the host approaching and ran for the gap.

"No, i'm stuck!" Foon shouted as she tried to push her way through. The others trying to pull her through.

"You can do it! Just focus on your determination to get out of this alive!" The Master shouted at her.

Mr. Cooper grabbed a piece of metal using it to hold the space open. Foon got through.

"Morvin, get through!" The Doctor shouted as he and The Master tried to squeze him through.

"Kill, KILL, KILL!" The host continued after them.

"Doctor, he's stuck!" The Fighter said trying to pull him through.

"Mr Van Hoff, I know we've only just met but you'll have to excuse me" The Doctor said as he grabbed Morvin's rear end pushing him to the other end.

"Doctor, Master! Hurry up!" The Fighter called out to them struggling to hold the tunnel up but wasn't going to give up until they were both through safely.

The Doctor looked at The Master "You go first. I need to talk to this angel." The Master did as he said and went through the gap.

"Information override! You will tell me the point of orgin of your command structure!" The Doctor commanded it.

"Doctor Hurry!" The Fighter and Master yelled.

"Information: Deck 31" The Host replied

"Thank you" The Doctor said as he scrambled through the tunnel as they let go and the thing collapased with no return to that side and crushing the host.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as The Fighter took them into a hug. "I'm glad you two are safe. That was a close call."

They began going through a door that lead to a kitchen.

"Morvin, look food!" Foon grinned seeing tables covered with plates of food.

"Mr. Frame, you still there?" The Doctor called over the comm.

"Yes sir but I've got a host outside. I sealed the door." Frame replied

"They've programmed to kill. Why would anyone do that?" The Doctor asked.

"That's not the only problem Doctor. I had to use maximum deadlock on the door. which means, no one can get in. I'm sealed off. Even if you can fix the Titanic, you can't get to the bridge."

"Okay, right lets focus on one problem at a time. Can you tell us what Deck 31 is?" The Master asked.

"Um that's down below. It's the host storage deck."

The Doctor, Master and Fighter looked at the schematic of the ship. "It's 100 percent shielded. What's down there?"

"Let us know if you find anything! And keep those engines going?" The Doctor said as Astrid came up to the three of them.

"Saved you some. You might be Time Kings and a Queen from Gaddabee but you need to eat." Astird gave them a plate of food as The Fighter laughed and took it.

"Thank you." The Fighter said beginning to eat some of the food as she had to admit she was hungry.

"It's Time Lords and Lady by the way but I don't mind being called a King with The Fighter as my Queen." The Master said smirking at her as she blushed and continued eating her food.

Astird laughed noticing The Fighter's blush. "From the looks of it, are you two...married or something?" The Fighter's eyes became wide as she stopped eating and her face became a bright red.

"What!?" She yelled along with The Doctor as The Master chuckled amused.

"Me married to him?!" The Fighter yelled pointing at The Master. She shook her head. "Nuh uh!"

"Yeah what she said." The Doctor yelled as The Master and him gave each other a cold stare.

"Sorry, I thought...he was the husband you were talking about." Astrid said.

The Fighter shook her head and looked at them both. The Two time lords remembered the day she got married to someone that wasn't one of them. She thought she was so in love with the guy and they seemed to get along so when The Doctor went to leave Gallifrey he left her there with her husband as she looked happy. The Master tried to get her to go with him when he left but she refused, saying she was happy with her husband.

Later on when The Doctor came back in his fourth regeneration, he found her crying with bruises and cuts all over her body. He then took her away with him and told him of the things her husband had done. They both knew she was hurt by him and know it wouldn't have happened if one of them married her like they wanted to.

"So...You three look good for 903." Astrid said changing the subject as they were broken out of their trance.

"Oh you don't wanna see us when we wake up!" The Fighter replied back in her happy demeanor. Astrid laughed.

"Doctor, Master, Fighter, it must be well past midnight, Earth time. Christmas Day." Mr. Cooper remarked.

"I suppose it is. Merry Christmas" The Doctor said as The Fighter smiled.

There was suddenly a banging at the door. The Doctor jumped. "A host!" He yelled. "Move! Come on everyone!" They reached the other door as The Doctor used his sonic and everyone stepped into the engine room. A makeshift bridge above with fire burning at the bottom.

"Is that the only way across?" Rickston asked

"On the other hand, it is a way across." The Fighter said sounding optimistic.

"The engines are open." Astrid said.

"Be glad they are. As soon as they stop, the Titanic falls to Earth." The Master said.

Morvin began to take a step on the bridge as fell under him and he fell into the engines. Everyone looked in horror as Foon screamed.

"Bring him back!" Foon cried to The Doctor.

"I'm sorry, I'm so,so,so sorry Foon." The Doctor said sadly as she continued crying and The Fighter helped comfort her.

The door began to bang behind them as hosts tried to get in. Rickston began to go over the bridge.

"Kill, KILL, KILL!" The host got through and drew close to them.

"Doctor!" The Fighter yelled as he pulled out his sonic and sealed themselves in.

"Yes!" Rickston cheered as he made it across. "Oh yes!"

"Bannakaffalatta you go next." The Doctor yelled.

The tiny red alien ran across the bridge being small.

"Astrid, get across!" The Doctor yelled. She began making her way across.

"Fighter you next." The Fighter shook her head. "No you guys go first."

"Fighter, please go right now!" The Master begged her as he looked at her with worry. "Once you're across safe than we'll come."

She hesitated than agreed and began going across. Mr. Cooper than followed behind her.

"Foon, you've got to get across now." The Doctor said.

"What will I do without him?" Foon asked crying.

"Live, that's what!" The Master yelled at her.

"Master go across." The Doctor said putting his trust in him. The Master began to go across.

"We forgot the Christmas tradition that angels have wings!" Mr. Cooper yelled as host angels flew above to them.

"Information: Kill."

Everyone quickly grabbed what they could and began arming themselves. One halo flew towards The Master and grazed his arm as he cried out in pain. The Fighter looked over worried. "Master! Doctor!"

"I'm good." The Master called out as he continued to make his way across.

"Doctor! My sonic screwdriver isn't working to open the door!" The Fighter called out as The Doctor bit his lip at what he had to do. "Foon, stay here, i'll be back for you." He said as he hurried across.

Bannafalatta discharged energy around the room that disabled the angels.

"He's used all his power!" Astrid cried out. Astrid began to cry as Bannafflatta died. Mr. Cooper gave the EMP transmitter from him.

"Information: Reboot" An angel host said behind The Doctor. "Override loophole security protocol 5,6,7,8 uh,"

"1!" The Master and Fighter shouted.

"Information: State Request"

"You've been ordered to kill the survivors, why?"

"Information: No witnesses"

"But the ships gonna fall on the Earth and kill everyone. The human race have nothing to do with the Titatnic so that contravenes your orders, yes?"

"Information: Incorrect"

"But why do you want to destroy Earth?"

"Information: It is the plan."

"What plan?"

"Information: Protocol only grants you three questions. These three questions have been used."

"You could have told me sooner!" The Doctor shouted.

"Information: Now you will die"

"You're coming with me!" Foon yelled putting a lasso over the angels head as she jumped off in the fire engines, the angel falling with her.

The Master and Doctor than made it across as he used his sonic screwdriver and opened the door leading everyone down a maintenance corridor.

"Right, get to reception one. Once you're there Mr. Cooper, you've got staff access to the computer. Try and find a way of transmitting an SOS." The Doctor then went to Astrid giving her the EMP. "Your're in charge of this. Once it's powered up, It'll take out Hosts." The Doctor than gave Rickston his sonic to open the other doors.

"There's something on Deck 31, we're gonna find out what it is." The Master said.

"What if you meet a host?" Astrid asked.

"We can handle this." The Fighter said smiling with determination.

"Sounds like you do this all the time" Astrid said smiling.

"Not by choice. All we do is travel. That's what we are, just travelers. Imagine it, no taxes, no bills, no boss, just the open sky!" The Fighter exclaimed happily going into a daydream about it.

"I'm sort of unemployed now and I was thinking the blue box is kinda small. But I could kinda squeeze in, like a stowaway." The Doctor continued.

"It's not always safe" The Master warned

"Plus I'd be fun to have another girl with me! No offense boys, but I've spent a couple centuries or so with you, but a girl needs some girl time sometimes." The Fighter said giggling. "Because I might restore to dressing you guys up in dress and painting your nails pink which I have wanting to before." They both grimaced at the thought and Astrid noticed laughing.

"I've got no family back on Sto, So what do you think? Can I come with you?" Astrid asked excitedly.

"I think It's a brilliant idea." The three time lords said.

The Doctor ran over to a comm. "Mr. Frame you still with us?"

"The Bridge is sealed off sir."

"Yeah ok working on it. We'll get there somehow."

The EMP was done charging. "All charged up" Astrid said

"Excellent! Mr. Cooper, do us a favor and look after Astrid."

The two time lords and time lady ended up running into a small kitchen with four hosts. They grabbed pots to start defending themselves.

"Wait! Wait!" The Doctor yelled. "Security protocol one! Okay that gives me three questions. Three questions to save our lives right?"

"Information: Correct"

"No that wasn't one of them." The Doctor yelled. "Can I start over?"

"Information: No" The Master rolled his eyes.

The Master interrupted as he began "One question left. So, you've been ordered to kill the survivors but survivors therefore meaning passengers or staff, but not us. We're not passengers. We're not staff. Go on, scan us. You must have bio records. No such people on board. We don't exist therefore, you can't kill us. Therefore, we're stowaways and stowaways should be arrested and taken to the nearest of authority. And I reckon the nearest figure is on Deck 31. Final question: Am I right?"

"Information: Correct"

"Brilliant! Great going Master!" The Fighter grinned.

"Take us to your leader!" The three time lords said grinning. "I''ve always wanted to say that." The Hosts began leading them to Deck 31.


They eyed the room filled with broken equipment, small fires and structural damage.

"Come on then, Host with the most, this ultimate authority of yours, who is it?" The Doctor asked. Two doors then slid open behind them

"Oh now that cheating." The Doctor said.

"Cheating and quite clever, just how I like it. An Omnistate impact chamber. Indestructible." The Master said grinning.

"You can survive anything in that?" The Fighter said as a small vehicle came out. "Sit through a supernova or a shipwreck. Only one person can have the power and money to hide themselves on-board like this and I should know cos'..." The vehicle came to a stop revealing a life support system with Max Capricorn's head sitting at the top behind a glass cabinet.

"My Name is Max." He finished grinning his gold tooth.

"It really does?" The Doctor blinked."

"Who the hell are they?" Max demanded frowning at the time lords.

"I'm The Doctor. Hello!"

"The Fighter. Nice too meet cha!"

"The Master."

One of the hosts stepped forward "Information: Stowaways."

"Kill them!" Max ordered

"Oh no no! Wait but you can't. Max you've given me so much good material like, how to get ahead in the business." The Doctor said pointing at Max's head. "See head. Head in business?" The Master rolled his eyes.

"Oh, ho, ho, the office joker. I like a funny man. No one's been funny with me for years." Max laughed as The Master looked at him shocked for laughing at The Doctor's joke.

"I can't think why" The Fighter said looking around.

"176 years of running the company have taken their toll."

"Yeah but nice wheels." The Doctor said.

"No, a life-support system in a society that despises cyborgs. I've had to hide away for years. Running the company by hologram. Host situation report!"

"Information: Titanic is still in orbit."

"Let me see." Max said moving past The Doctor, Master and Fighter. "We should have crashed by now. What's gone wrong? The engines are running. They should have stopped!"

"If the engines stop, the Earth will be destroyed! I'm not going to let that happen! I-" Before The Fighter could continued The Master put his hand over her mouth to stop her.

"This interview is terminated!" Max glared at her.

"No, no no! Hold on! We can work it out. It's like a task, we're your apprentices. Just watch us. So business failing and you wreck the ship so that makes things worse. Oh yes! But the business isn't failing!" The Doctor exclaimed

"It's failed, past tense." The Master said frowning sarcastically.

"My own board voted me out. Stabbed me in the back." Max confirmed.

"If you had a back..." The Master remarked dropping his hand from The Fighter's mouth.

"So you scupper the ship, wipe out any survivors in case anyone's rumbled you and the board find their shares halved in value." The Doctor continued.

"But that's not enough. Not at all because if a Max Capricorn ship hits the Earth, it destroys the entire planet. Outrage back at home. Scandal! The business is wiped out!" The Fighter added crossing her arms and glaring.

"And the whole board thrown in jail for mass murder." Max added grinning.

"While you sit there, safe inside the impact chamber." The Doctor finished.

"I have men waiting to retrieve me form the ruins and enough off world accounts to retire me to beaches of Pentaxico two where the ladies, so I'm told, are very fond of metal." Max looked at The Fighter eyeing her up and down. "I might just take this beautiful young lady instead." The Fighter gave a disgusted look.

"She's not going anywhere with the likes of you." The Doctor and Master said at the same time.

"Besides, you're not my type. Ew!" The Fighter added in. The Master and Doctor looked shocked at her for saying she had a type.

"So that's the plan, a retirement plan. 2,000 on this ship, million underneath us, all of them slaughtered. And why? Because Max Capricorn is a loser!" The Fighter glared at him.

"I never lose!" Max glared back.

"You can't even sink the Titanic. I could do better than that." The Master said laughing.

"Oh, but I can. I can cancel the engines from here." Max laughed. Alarms started to go off around them.

"You can't do this!" The Fighter and Doctor yelled.

"Host hold them." Max ordered as Hosts pulled the the three time lords arms behind their backs with The Fighter trying to break free.

"All that banter, yet not a word wasted. Time for retirement. The Titanic is falling. The sky will burn. Oh host, kill them." Max said laughing.

One of the hosts stepped forward taking off their halo. The Fighter struggled hard to break free but a voice stopped them.

"Mr. Capricorn! I resign!" Astrid said driving a forklift. She started heading for Max.

"Astrid don't!" The Doctor yelled. She lifted Max up but an angel cut the break line. Astrid looked over at the time lords nodding as she sent herself and Max over the edge into the fires. "Astrid!" The Doctor and Fighter yelled.

The Fighter broke free of the hosts hold and started running towards the edge to try and save Astrid as The Master and Doctor broke free and grabbed her before she fell in. The Ship suddenly gave a sharp jolt as the time lords were sent to the floor.

"We need to get to the bridge. Any Idea's?" The Fighter said.

"Well...If I'm correct, they should be programmed to respond to the highest authority on board which would be either you or me Doctor. Mostly I'd say me." The Master said smirking.

The Fighter got up and held her arms out to her sides as two hosts moved forward and took a position by her side. The Hosts took hold of both her arms as she gestured for her two friends to come over. The Master and Doctor looked at her shocked.

"Wait is she the highest authority?" They asked each other at the same time.

"Stop worrying about who's higher than who and grab an angel!" The Fighter told them as they came over and grabbed an angel. The Hosts than started flying up crashing through the floor to the bridge.

"Deadlock broken" The computer announced as Frame yelped in surprise.

"Ah Midshipman Frame at last!" The Doctor exclaimed

"Uh but the host!" Frame gasped alarmed.

"Don't worry about them. There controller died so they diverted to the next highest authority." The Fighter said smiling. The Master and Doctor were still wondering who it was.

"There's nothing we can do. There's no power. The ship's gonna fall!" Frame shook his head.

"Titanic falling" The Computer announced.

"You just had to jinx it, huh?" The Fighter said sarcastically. The Master than grabbed the wheel to the ship as The Doctor spoke to Frame.

"What's your first name?"

"Alonzo"

"You're kidding!" The Doctor and Fighter said at the same time amazed.

"What?"

"There's something I've always wanted to say, Allons-Y Alonzo!" The Doctor grinned as The Master rolled his eyes while The Fighter laughed. "Oh Doctor."

The Master turned the wheel sharply almost sending the others to the floor. "Oi! Watch how you're flying this thing!" The Doctor yelled.

"I could say the same thing about you TARDIS flying skills." The Master remarked smirking.

The Doctor and Fighter looked a the control panel to see the impact zone to be in London. The Fighter grabbed the comm to speak to Buckingham Palace. "Hello, could you get me Buckingham Palace? Listen to me, It's me The Fighter! Yes The Doctor's friend. Security code 771! Now get out of there!"

"Engine active" The computer announced. The Master pulled back on the wheel, sending Frame flying to the back of the wall as The Doctor and Fighter grabbed the control panel. They began to fly over Buckingham Palace and flew back into the stars. The Doctor began laughing as The Fighter was cheering and jumping in victory. The Master was laughing as well over his great flying skills. Frame joined in the cheering.

"Woo-hoo! Great going Master!" The Fighter cheered.


The Fighter was helping Frame with his wound as The Doctor and Master came over. "That'll do the trick. The Fighter here is very good with healing people. She used to be a nurse once."

"Yep and I even wore a nurse dress. Remember my red hair and golden eyes I had?" The Fighter said happily remembering her 3rd regeneration that travelled with The Fourth Doctor.

"Ah yes I remember that too. That was the first day you left Gallifrey for the first time right?" The Master asked remembering it and how he was burnt as he shuddered over that memory of his regeneration.

The Fighter nodded happily as silent tears began to fall from her face. "That was the day, the day you saved me from him Doctor. You took me away from my awful husband and I'll never forget it. You were my hero." The Doctor looked at her remembering the day perfectly, when he appeared back on Gallifrey and went to visit her to only find her crying with cuts and bruises that didn't want to heal. She hardly talked, only gave nods as though she were afraid to speak in fear of something happening.

The Fighter wiped away her tears as she put a smile on her face looking back at Frame "You were very lucky. The bullet missed everything of importance and managed to pass straight through. It'll be quite tender for a little while yet, but you'll live. I suggest that when you get out of here, you go and get it checked out just in case."

"How did you three do that?" Frame asked.

"Used the heat of re-entry to fire up the secondary storm drive. Unsinkable that's us!" The Doctor explained grinning. "Teleport! She was wearing a Teleport bracelet!"

The Doctor began to run from the room as The others began to follow behind him. The Doctor asked for his sonic from Rickston as he ran to Mr. Cooper.

"Mr. Cooper, the teleports, have they got emergency settings?" The Doctor asked.

"I don't know, they should."

"She fell Mr. Cooper. Can you tell us the emergency code?" The Fighter asked knowing he was talking about Astrid.

"What the hell are you doing?" The Master asked.

"We can bring her back!" The Doctor said setting the teleport to work.

"If a passenger has an accident on shore leave and they're still wearing their teleport, their molecules are automatically suspended and held in stasis so that we can just trigger the shift." Mr. Cooper told.

"There!" The Fighter yelled as Astrid appeared glowing and transparent.

"I'm falling..." Astrid said. The teleport than began to spark as The Doctor tried to fix it.

"No, no no!" The Doctor yelled. "I just need to override the safety, I can do that."

The Master placed a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort his friend. "Doctor, let her go."

The Doctor looked over at Astrid kicked the teleport. "I'm falling..." Astrid said as The Fighter went over to her. "You're not falling Astrid, You're flying!" She put her hands up looking at the sky. She pulled out her sonic and opened a window and Astrid flew out into space.


The Doctor, The Master, The Fighter and Mr. Cooper were walking across an open field in the snow as they approached the TARDIS.

"So Great Britain is part of 'Europee' and just across the British channel you've got Great France and Great Germany." Mr. Cooper said.

"No, no you fool. It's just France and Germany." The Master said shaking his head.

"Only Britain is Great" The Doctor added.

"So I suppose you'll be off." Mr. Cooper said looking at the time lords and lady.

"The Open sky" The Fighter said looking up at it.

"And, uh what about me?" Mr. Cooper asked. The Master, Doctor and Fighter looked at each other.

"We travel alone, It's best that way." The Doctor replied.

"It's all yours, planet Earth. You've got money!" The Master said grinning. "Just be careful Planet Earth can have it's good and bad sides."

"I will!" Mr. Cooper said nodding and walking.

The Doctor opened the TARDIS door as they walked inside The Fighter put her hands around there necks. "Hey look here! I got my spaceship, I got my boys. Where are we off to next?"

"Where do you want to go? You get to choose this time. Since we were busy with other things last time like the end of the world and such." The Doctor said smirking as The Master rolled his eyes.

"Anywhere! As long as I'm with you two." The Fighter replied grinning, as she wouldn't have it any other way.


A/N: That was the longest chapter I have ever typed!

Now we had a little flashback there to The Fighter's past with her husband and The Fourth Doctor along with The Master. Now I'm going to leave you guys guessing on her past, but I'll let you know if your guess is right. It will all be revealed later on and especially in "How Our Story Began."

Now a little about The Fighter's 3rd Regeneration (Which i'm not going to tell that much about because it will all be revealed in the prequel) Her 3rd regeneration had red hair and golden eyes which will be explained in the prequel. In that regeneration she dressed up like a nurse and (Spoilers, Spoilers, Spoilers) and when the Fourth Doctor came to Gallifrey, found her crying because of what her husband did which was (Spoilers, Spoilers) and took her away with him. She has been running with him ever since.
