"Do you think they'll kill her?"

I stared at the scanner, even though the Doctor was long gone. Several soldiers had stayed behind and were looking up at the TARDIS, talking amongst themselves. "I don't know. Maybe."

Ali picked up the orb, which the Doctor had left behind in a divot on one of the panels. "We have to do something," she said. "Even if they don't kill her, she doesn't have this. She won't be able to fight back against the Starman when it shows up."

One of the soldiers beat the end of his spear against the TARDIS doors. The ship hummed and I could tell she didn't appreciate being poked by stupid little humans. The soldier thumped the doors again, harder this time, and I bristled slightly.

"We can't get past them," I told Ali. "Even if we wanted to."

She frowned. "We could."

"How?"

Another soldier had joined the first and the two started ramming into the doors with their spears. Ali growled softly and I leaned away from her. Her human hand had balled into a fist and her antenodes were quivering.

"Ali?"

"They're making me mad," she said. "And they wouldn't like me when I'm mad. Believe me."

The soldiers banged their spears against the doors again and again, and Ali grew more and more upset. One of the soldiers laughed then and said something obscene about the Doctor, something that made me consider punching him in the throat. Ali growled again and stared at the doors, her claw clicking as it opened and closed.

"You might want to stay back," she said. "It's best not to get too close to me when I lose myself to my battle rage."

Ali approached the doors slowly, her head tilted to the side as if she was listening. I was expecting her to burst out of the ship and rip the soldiers apart. Instead she waited. There was a pause between beats and then she flung the door open. One of the soldiers stumbled inside, obviously not expecting the door to just give way. Ali kicked him swiftly in the chest with one of her strange, crab-beetle legs, and the man went flying out of sight. She scrambled outside after him and all I could hear were the remaining men's terrified screams.

I spun around to watch the scanner. Ali's antenodes were reeling back into her shoulders and curling up, while two men lay at her feet. I couldn't tell if they were dead or not, but I really hoped they weren't. There were still six soldiers left and although Ali was very fierce and intimidating, I doubted she would be able to fight back against all of them.

She seemed frozen in thought, most likely calculating the best way to attack. One of the soldiers stepped forward and threw his spear at her. "Ali, no!" I screamed, racing towards the doors. But the spear only bounced off of her shell and fell to the ground, split in two. Something rumbled deep inside her chest and Ali looked from the spear to the soldier who had thrown it. I stood in the doorway and watched as Ali raced forward. He screamed and fell beneath her, clawing at anything within reach. Her body was large enough to block the soldier from view, so I couldn't see what she was doing. But I knew I didn't want to see it.

The man stopped screaming a few seconds later. The remaining soldiers stared at Ali in terror, but charged towards her with their spears readied. She hissed and lashed out with a bloody claw, snapping the neck of one soldier and then sweeping two others aside with his body. The remaining three soldiers all lunged at her with their spears, but again they snapped in half and were absolutely useless.

Ali turned and stabbed one man in the stomach with her claw. He fell to the ground with his stomach ripped open and I had to turn away. I clung to the railing with my eyes squeezed shut, trying to block out the image of the man's face as he died. I had never seen someone die before.

Four screams and several minutes later, I heard Ali tap against the TARDIS door. "We can go now," she said. "You should grab the orb."

I nodded and started up the ramp again, making sure I didn't look outside. Once back at the doorway, I kept my gaze on the ground and extended my arm. "Here." She took it with her human hand, her fingers spattered with blood.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded again. "Yeah, I'm- I'm fine. I've just, um, I've never seen someone die before." My eyes began to well with tears and I quickly turned away. My voice cracked slightly. "It's a little too much for me… right now."

Ali sighed. "I know that to you, I probably seem like a monster." I looked back at her, about to protest, but the words died in my throat when I saw her four beady eyes blinking at me, blood spattered across her pale torso. "But I was only doing what I was raised to do. In Karkinian culture, the female is the deadliest during battle. When the safety of the group is threatened, we fight back with the strength of twenty men and we don't stop until the threat is entirely eliminated. And you, the Doctor, and the TARDIS are my group right now."

"I understand." I wiped away my tears and attempted a smile. "And you're not a monster. I would never think you are."

"You can stay here if you want, but the Doctor needs our help. If you want to come, you can ride on my back. It'll be faster that way." I stupidly let my eyes drift to the bodies of the soldiers strewn across the dirt. It was suddenly difficult to breathe and I didn't want to, but a part of me couldn't stop staring. "Diana." I blinked and looked back at Ali. She was smiling at me and the multiple rows of teeth shone brightly in the sunlight. "Come on. The Doctor needs both of us."

Riding on Ali's back wasn't dissimilar to riding a horse. Except, horses didn't have claw-like legs and a crab-like exoskeleton. I sat right where her torso met the lower half of her body. It was sort of shaped the way an ant's body is, with a junction between the front half and the back half.

The TARDIS had parked itself in a stone courtyard, but I tried not to get a very close look at it since there seemed to be blood everywhere. The entrance of the courtyard was marked by two stone pillars with an opening between them and Ali scattered through, bringing us into a large, but surprisingly empty city. There were stone and clay buildings all around with little carts and pottery containers filling up the streets. But there wasn't anybody around.

"Where is everyone?" said Ali.

"I don't know. Day off, maybe?"

She laughed humorlessly. "Somehow, I don't think that's it."

There was a street that led parallel to the courtyard we had just exited and then another one perpendicular to it. The second street led straight ahead and at the very end of it was an enormous stone structure. There were dozens of desert plants and shrubs decorating the base of the structure and some of the stones had been painted gold and blue.

"What is that?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. Nothing else in this city is as large or elaborately decorated, though. It has to be important. Do you think they've taken the Doctor there?"

"Your guess is as good as mine."

"You should probably hold on tight," Ali suggested. "I'm the fastest one in my family."

She shot off like a rocket, hardly giving me any time to wrap my limbs around her and hold on for dear life. I'd never gone much faster than a trot or a brief canter on a horse, but something told me that Ali was going much faster than any horse on Earth could gallop. I leaned forward and clung to her back, my face buried between her shoulder blades.

Her body jolted and I yelped in surprise, tightening my grip around her torso as I started to slide backwards. "What hap-?" I stopped myself mid sentence when I realized, upon opening my eyes, that Ali had leapt onto the stone wall of the structure and was starting to climb.

"Hold on!"

I wrapped my legs around her as tightly as I could manage and buried my head in her back again. "I don't do heights," I muttered. "Heights are not good."

"So don't look down."

It wasn't a very long distance to the top of the structure, but the ride up seemed to last for an eternity. The sun was beating down on us and even though I was only wearing one layer of clothes, I was already sweating and starting to feel miserable. Hot weather was never my favorite kind. Ali's body shuddered and then fell forwards at one point, making me yell as my brain momentarily thought we were falling.

"Shut up!" she hissed.

I opened my eyes and saw that we were inside the structure. Ali had climbed inside through a large window and although no one was around, my shout was certain to attract more soldiers or guards. I slid off of Ali's back with wobbling, shaking legs and stumbled over to the wall for support.

"Stay here," she said.

"What? Where are you- Oh."

Across the room was a very tall, very muscular man with a shield, spear, and a sheathed sword strapped to his waist. He was standing in front of a balcony and he eyes were fixed on Ali. He dropped his spear and drew his sword, fear and anger shining in his eyes.

"Ali, be careful!" I said worriedly.

She lunged forward, her claw arching through the air. The man shouted and swung his sword at Ali's arm, but it cracked against her claw. She growled, breaking the sword in half like it was a twig and then flinging it across the room without another thought. The man shoved into her torso with his shield. Ali swept the shield aside as her claw closed around his neck. She started towards the balcony and dangled his body over the edge, then dropped him.

The man screamed and then fell silent a moment later. I rushed to Ali's side, resting a hand on her claw. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

She shook her head. "No. But look." She pointed with her human hand to a courtyard far below us, where it seemed the entire city had gathered. In the center of the courtyard was the Doctor, bent over a large boulder with two soldiers holding her down. "The Doctor."

A loud crack of thunder sounded, drawing everyone's attention. Across the courtyard was the empty desert, where a large storm was starting to brew. Dust and sand was starting to form a giant tornado and above it, the clouds had gathered and turned dark while flashing occasionally with a blot of lightning. Something started to form in the darkened mass of sand and wind.

"Oh, my god," I breathed.

The thing that had appeared was a giant creature, more horrifying than anything else I had ever seen. It seemed to have the head of a goat, judging by the enormous horns that sprouted from its skull. Two lizard arms supported its weight, while its torso gradually melted into that of a rotten fish, and two silver wings dropped over its shoulders.

A shout sounded behind us and Ali and I turned to see a group of soldiers by the doorway. Ali ordered for me to get on her back. She climbed from the balcony to the wall, the pointed tips of her legs fitting between the stones and securing her in place. One of the soldiers ran up to the balcony, his spear raised and aimed directly at us, but then one of Ali's antenodes struck him in the chest and he toppled over the balcony.

"Hold on!" Ali yelled over the chaos in the courtyard below. I wrapped my arms around her and tried not to scream when she began scrambling down the wall. "Lean back! You're throwing me off!"

I tightened my legs around her middle and leaned back slightly, not daring to release my hold on her back. When that wasn't enough, I grabbed onto one of her legs instead and latched onto her left antenode with my other hand. We were probably about twenty feet off the ground when Ali slipped and we both fell.

I landed on top of her and then rolled off, my shoulder slamming into the ground first and then my head bouncing off the dirt. Ali was by my side several seconds later, looming over me with a worried expression. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine." Behind her, the terrifying Starman was advancing on the city and spewing water from its mouth as it snarled. "You have to get the orb to the Doctor!"

"What about you?"

"I don't wanna be anywhere near that thing! I'll be fine. Just go help her!"

Ali hesitated for a moment before nodding and then scampering off. I managed to sit up on my own and look at my limbs to see if anything was broken. My shoulder was hurting badly enough that I couldn't really move it, but nothing broken was jutting out of my skin and I presumed I was fine. The structure wall was a few yards behind me, so I struggled to my feet and hobbled over. I'd forgotten to put shoes on, again, so my feet were dusty and grimy as I sat down with my back to the wall.

The courtyard was an absolute mess. All the townspeople had fled, running off in a million different directions as the Starman grew closer. The large mass of soldiers that remained had stood their ground and were ready to attack, but I spotted a few of them turn and desert their compatriots. I don't blame you.

I saw Ali appear somewhere in the ranks, the Doctor, sitting on her back with the orb in her hand. As they charged past the soldiers, many of them fell to their knees and began wailing and praying in desperation. The goat headed Starman crashed through the wall of the courtyard with a screech and then gobbled down a portion of the terrified soldiers. Just behind the creature, looming below the darkened storm clouds, was another Starman in the shape of two men.

"Oh, fuck." I got to my feet and leaned against the wall, my legs trembling as the first Starman crawled further into the courtyard. The twins, Castor and Pollux, roared in the distance and started towards the courtyard. "Nope. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

I started running. My shoulder was still aching and sent burning pain through my body every time I took a step, but I had to put as much distance as possible between myself and the Starmen. I wasn't willing to just sit and wait for them to come eat me. If I could get to the TARDIS, I knew I would be safe no matter what happened.

I reached the edge of the wall and stopped, turning to search for Ali and the Doctor amongst the crowd of screaming men. Then I spotted something shining as it trailed up the side of the Starman. I squinted and adjusted my glasses, unintentionally making them go sonic. They zoomed in on the shining light and showed me the Doctor astride Ali, racing up the monster's body.

I grasped my necklace, my arm protesting to the sudden movement. Ali was on the creature's shoulder when it suddenly turned and looked at her. Panic gripped my heart as the creature's horrible, dead eyes narrowed and it roared angrily. The Doctor opened his mouth and seemed to shout something, then threw the light into the Starman's mouth.

There was silence. And then a wave of hot air blasted through the courtyard and knocked me over. Silver flakes began to rain from the sky as I pushed myself up. The Starmen were gone. All that remained was the silver rain. Then I realized that I couldn't see Ali or the Doctor anywhere.

"Ow!"

I groaned as pain radiated throughout my entire shoulder and down my arm. The Doctor's fingers had probed a little too roughly during her examination. She lightly patted my hand and smiled at me. "No bones broken. Just a sore shoulder. Nothing a few pills can't fix."

The Doctor's eyes didn't quite focus on me. "Are you okay?" I asked.

She nodded, then grimaced. "Fine."

"You sure? You don't look fine."

"Just a headache," she said. "I landed pretty hard."

"Then you should lie down and rest."

The Time Lady waved her hand dismissively. "Please. I'll be fine, love. Besides, you had quite a fall yourself."

I grumbled and shook my head, turning my attention to Ali as she slept soundly on the ground several paces away. "Don't remind me."

The Doctor leaned back against the palm tree we had sat under, her eyes fluttering shut as a breeze drifted by. Ali sighed softly and a tiny cloud of dust and sand puffed up before her face. I looked back at the Doctor and noticed the smile tugging at her lips. I smiled too and shuffled sideways a few inches, putting some space between us so I could rest my back comfortably against the tree trunk.

"Doctor?"

I opened my eyes to see five men standing over us and I inhaled sharply, sitting up completely. The tallest man looked to be in his thirties or forties. His skin was decorated with bronze and gold jewelry, and he wore a bronze helmet. One of the other men I recognized as the one who called the Doctor a liar and a false messenger from the gods. The other three I didn't recognize.

"I am sorry I doubted you," said the tallest man. I realized then he was probably the king, since he wore finer clothes than all the others. "You were right, Doctor."

The Doctor scoffed. "I usually am. Now go away. I'm trying to sleep."

The man who had ordered her to be dragged away spoke next. "We must write about you in our histories. What is your name?"

Sighing heavily, the Doctor brushed a hand across her forehead and wiped away her sweat. "You go through Marduk's fifty names, and you'll probably find mine in there somewhere."

"Marduk? Who is Marduk?"

"Get away from him!" Ali had woken up and was scurrying over, rage written plainly across her face.

The Doctor grimaced. "Ali, no-."

She took one of the men in her grasp, her claw tightening around his neck and lifting him off the ground. "You would have killed him," she growled. "You and all the others! Now see how you like it."

She dropped the man and then swiped the others away with a single wave of her arm. She advanced on the first man, the man with the gold and bronze jewelry, and snarled in his face as he fell to his knees.

The Doctor struggled to her feet and reached out for Ali, protesting and begging her to stop. "Ali, stop. You've done enough. You have to s-stop…" Her voice trailed off and then she collapsed.

"Doctor!" I hurried to her side and leaned over her, trying to understand what was wrong. "Doctor?"

She groaned and fell onto her back. " 's time to go home," she mumbled before passing out.

I grabbed hold of her shoulder. "Doctor! Doctor, wake up!"

Ali knelt in front of the Time Lady and, without even exerting herself, lifted her up in her arms. "Get on my back, Diana," she said.

Once back at the TARDIS, I opened the doors with a snap of my fingers and Ali hurried inside. She nudged my journal off of the jumpseat and placed the Doctor on the cushions. I worriedly brushed my hand along the Doctor's forehead.

"The fall must have hurt her more than she let on," Ali said.

"Do you think she has a concussion?"

Ali hummed. "Probably. But I don't know how to treat a Time Lord concussion. Do you?"

I pushed my glasses further up my nose and froze when they turned black. "I forgot," I whispered. I switched them back to regular lenses and then pinched the corner like Twelve had demonstrated. I quickly looked up and down the Doctor's body, scanning for any injuries. "I was right. She has a concussion, but everything else seems to be fine."

"So how do we treat her?"

I repeated Ali's question in my mind, still pinching the glasses and hoping that I was using them correctly. A page of text appeared in my lenses, explaining how quickly the concussion would heal and what medication I could give her to lessen the pain. I turned to the console and typed out what kind of medication I needed, pushing my glasses up when I needed to see the keyboard and replacing them to check the spelling. The TARDIS whirred and just below the scanner, a little panel the size of my journal opened up and a bottle appeared. I cleared the text from my glasses and then returned to the Doctor's side, pushing a pill past her lips.

"Is that it?"

"I think so. I think if we just let her rest, she should be fine."

Ali leaned against the railing by the end of the jumpseat. "How did you know how to do that?" she asked.

I gestured to my glasses with a shrug. "The Doctor gave these to me. Apparently they connect to the wifi, so I can look things up if I need to."

"Wifi?"

"Um… It's like a-an electric library, sort of."

Ali hummed. "So now we wait?"

"So now we wait."

As it turns out, we didn't have to wait much longer than a few minutes. The Doctor shot up all of a sudden, looking around and rubbing her eyes. "One of you gave me medicine," she said. "What did you give me?"

I handed her the bottle. "The TARDIS gave me these for your concussion."

She smiled and slipped the bottle into her coat pocket. "Good old girl."

"Are you alright now?" Ali asked.

The Doctor's face hardened and she turned stiffly in Ali's direction. "I am. Those men won't be, though."

Ali looked away. "I'm sorry," she sighed, "but they deserved their punishment. I should have killed them all."

"I know you only did what you thought was right. But this is why I usually take humans as my companions. They have- well, they have humanity. Not all of them, I'll give you that, but the ones I choose." Ali stared unblinkingly at the Time Lady. "That's why I was reluctant to take you in the first place. Not for your own safety, but for others. You Karkinians have a scary reputation, particularly the females, and having seen you in action I can see why. Remember what I told you when we first spoke, Ali? I'm not a warrior unless I have to be. It's not my way."

She swallowed and I could see the anger already burning in her eyes. "You killed the Starman."

The Doctor shook her head. "I didn't kill him. I simply sent him back to where he can't do any harm."

"But if I hadn't saved you-"

"I've somehow managed to survive for quite a long time without your help."

Ali stood to her full height, her face flushing red with anger as bitterness tainted her voice. "You ungrateful-"

"I'm sorry!" the Doctor interjected, throwing her hands up. "You're right. I'm sorry. You did save me. Without you I probably would've regenerated again and the Starmen probably have eaten the entire planet. So, I will be eternally grateful to you. But your way, Ali, it's too risky. I wouldn't ever be able to go anywhere if I was worried you were going to go into a Karkinian war frenzy every time anyone looked at me funny."

"Doctor, she was only trying to protect you," I said.

"I know."

Ali huffed. "I can't help it-"

"Exactly! That's my point," said the Doctor. "You're from Karkinos. I thought maybe you were different. You are special, I'll give you that, and you're nearly as clever as me. But you're also a warrior. And I can't ask you to change that because that's what you were born to be. And the best place for you right now is back on Karkinos, looking after your family."

Ali settled down and sat on the floor, her fingers drumming quietly atop her claw. She smiled, her teeth shining in the semi green glow of the time rotor. "I gave those humans a fright though, didn't I?" she chuckled. "They won't forget me in a hurry."

The Doctor moved to the console. "They won't ever forget you, Ali. You're a star and you always will be. You'll be their star. They'll name a constellation after you and add you to their zodiac along with the twins and the goat-fish." She smiled too and set in the coordinates for the lake where we had found her. "You're my A-star girl.

Ali was quick to leave the TARDIS after we landed. She hurried outside and looked up at the sky where several moons were situated in a loose arc. The lake looked beautiful and mysterious as it shimmered in the moonlight, and I made a mental note to remember exactly what it looked like. It would fit perfectly in the story I'd started writing back home, long before I ever met the Doctor. Home… But I shook my head and pushed those memories away. I knew that if I thought about home or what I'd lost, I would start crying and I wouldn't stop for a very long time.

"Since Diana helped me fly this time, I can assure you that we've landed only a few minutes after you left," the Doctor said.

A large bird called as it flew down, skimming across the lake's surface before sailing back into the trees along the shore. Ali stood in the mudbank just below the TARDIS and looked at the Doctor. "Where will you go now?" she asked.

The Doctor shrugged. "Wherever we're needed, I suppose."

Ali laughed and shook her head. "You are so pompous."

The Doctor grinned. "Yeah, I am, aren't I? Diana and the Doctor, off to save the universe!"

"So you won't be alone?"

"No. Not for a short while, anyways. Diana will leave soon, though. Perhaps in a day or two. Or three."

Which you still haven't explained to me, I thought in the Doctor's general direction.

"I don't know what you mean, but if you're alone again will you do something for me? That girl you were telling me about? Rose Tyler?"

The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "What about her?"

Ali nudged her with her claw and smiled. "You should try again."

"No, I gave it my best, Ali. This life wasn't for her."

"Oh? I didn't have you down as a quitter, Doctor."

She was trying to goad her into returning for Rose, but it wasn't working as well as she had probably hoped. "It's too late," the Doctor said.

"How can anything be too late? You're a Time Lord!" Ali exclaimed. "I thought time had no meaning in your infinite, immortal, immaterial box of tricks. Too late, indeed. You just get back there!"

The Doctor laughed and shook her head, pushing off of the TARDIS to head back inside. "Ali-"

"No, listen. You go straight back there now and you ask her again. Because I know what it's like to fancy a girl and you definitely fancy her. But you've got to offer her more than just, y'know, you. I mean, you're a Time Lord, but you're not all that. Sell it to her!"

"That's why I need a companion, you know. That's why I've had so many of them. To keep my feet on the ground and my head out of the clouds. To keep me from myself. It's people like Rose and Di, and crustaceans like you, Ali, who keep me going, who remind me that it's not all over and it's not all about me. I haven't had a new companion in… a very long time. I pushed everyone away." The Doctor sighed and I could see the hurt clouding in her eyes. "My people may have gone, but you have your people and everyone has their own people. And every one of them is precious."

Ali stepped forward and pressed her claw to the Doctor's cheek. She didn't say anything. The Doctor glanced at her claw and looked mildly uncomfortable. "A long time ago, in a body far, far away, I had something like that," she said, twisting her wrist in tiny circles. "Though not on that scale."

"You're very strange, Doctor," Ali teased. "Goodbye."

"This isn't a proper goodbye, Ali. I'll be seeing you."

"Will you?"

"I'm sure I will. When I need you most. When I need a mighty warrior."

Ali turned to me. "Then I suppose I'll see you again, too."

I nodded and spread my arms for a hug. "I hope so, Ali." Her arms wrapped around me and picked me off the floor, pushing me against her torso.

"You'll stay with her, right?" she asked after setting me down.

"I don't have anywhere else to go, so."

She grinned. "It sounds like you both need a companion, then."

"So, where in all of time and space do you feel like going?" the Doctor asked. I gazed up at the time rotor with one leg tucked underneath me, the jumpseat squeaking with every tiny jolt of turbulence.

"You're not going back for Rose?"

"Why would I? I've got you, haven't I?"

I frowned and scratched a spot behind my ear. "You said- to Ali, you said I was going to leave. What did you mean?"

"You don't know?" I shook my head. "Oh. Right. What did I say to you before you jumped here?"

"I'm not sure what you mean."

The Doctor sat down on the jumpseat next to me, her hands stuffed in her jacket pockets again. "Before you met me, were you with a future incarnation or a past one?"

"Future."

"What did I say to you when you start to disappear?"

I closed my eyes and concentrated, trying to recall the memories of what felt like another lifetime. I remembered the Doctor - Twelve - giving me my glasses and journal and phone, and I remembered the searing pain that had coursed through my body before I ended up hurtling through the vortex. "You said that I was fading," I said slowly. "I think. But you didn't explain to me what was happening. I-I don't really remember much."

"When you came to this universe" - I shifted uncomfortably - "something happened to you. I don't know what, but because of this thing you can travel through time. Without a time machine. Or a vortex manipulator, or any other appliance you can think of that lets you time travel. I don't know why you can do this or how, but I haven't been able to find a way of controlling it."

"Why would you want to control it?" I asked.

"Oh, no, nothing like that, love," she sighed. "See, you only stick around for a few days at a time. Sometimes it's just a day, sometimes it's two or three or even a week. Every time, it's different. But you show up, you stick around for a bit, and then you disappear."

"And it hurts like that every time?"

The Doctor shook her head. "No, the pain lessens over time. That or you get used to it. You never really told me."

I stared at one of the hundreds of tiny holes in the floor. I was silent for a long time. "Will it ever stop?"

"I don't know."

"So I'll just… keep doing this for the rest of my life?" The Doctor didn't answer. "Will I ever go home?"

My voice cracked and I turned away so the Doctor wouldn't see my tears. The jumpseat creaked as she stood up. She walked past me and picked up the journal that Ali had brushed aside earlier. "Here." That was her answer.

"Thanks."

The Doctor walked over to the console. "Do you want some shoes?" When I didn't reply, she started for the doorway on the opposite end of the room. "I'll go get you some shoes. And snacks. You're- you're probably hungry. I'll be right back."

I waited until I couldn't hear her footsteps before I started crying.
