Here the young Reunet tried to pull free, as she so wished to go back and help the doctor. "You've got to allow me to go back, Mayou!" she cried out, in sorrow.
"Please Kanah, you have to listen...' stated Mayou, in a deep stern voice to Kanah. 'the traveller it this to help you, she lies in rest now knowing your free... knowing your out of harms way!"
But this didn't rest Kanah, "No!' was her reply, as again she tried to pull free. 'we can't just leave her there for them... for them to..." her voice trailed off, as the truth was just so hard to state out loud.
But Mayou kept hold, pulling her back, as he wasn't about to let go and allow her to go running back into the Kay'lah's fire power. "We can't go back, it's far too dangerous."
"I thought you said we can never leave anyone behind!" stated Kanah coldly, using Mayou's own words against him, even though deep down inside she knew Mayou would have wanted things to end differently.

A Kay'lah soldier as he came across a body on the ground, and grins as he kicked over the lifeless body over, here the grin widened as he looked down to see it was the body of the stranger to Pii'wan. 'No grave loss... no big deal.'
Loirak saw the soldier's actions, then as he caught sight of the fact it was the traveller's body, he marched over to stand by the doctor's lifeless body.
The soldier turns to the general and stated, "Ah, one more dead, general…"
"Well done…' replied Loirak, as he glared down at the body in actual regret, as deep down, he actually wished that it was his own weapon that had been the one to take down the stranger. 'Now let's leave her to rot in our earth… let our Pii'wan be the one to take this so called ''traveller'' on through to the next, there are far more Reunet's we must venture after!" were the words of the general, now ordering his soldiers on after the others who have tried to show might against their race.
.
The body lay on the ground it had laid there for a while, there had been no movement from the doctor and the wet mud now had started to seep into her clothes, the body of the doctor seemed to pass away; however as the next second came, deep down inside her body, her two hearts did continue if not only faintly beat. Here and now, though things were slowly changing inside, the doctor is forced to regenerate. Her life force and the core energy inside of her had starting to change, change her very being.
Coming around in her 13th form, the doctor sat herself up; here the doctor knew all too well what was going to happen to her, she had after all gone through this process more than any other Gallifreyan, but still the doctor felt sorrow and fear, sorrow over what she would leave behind, fear of what she would forget.
Her lips opened and stated, "This… this is my end…' now looking down at her hand, waiting for it to start. 'It's starting… I am… I am regenerating…" The doctor could slowly start to feel it rush through her from her head down to her toes, the energy and chance starting off as the slightest of tickles, then to a twitch, a shudder and ending on a full body shake.
.
Then suddenly a full wave of pure intense light shone out from her entire body; here at this point the doctor slowly started to feel so strong, so powerful; once again the doctor was able to breathe in and out as easily as before, every cell in her body was repairing itself, but coming back together in far different way.
She will once again be a new, and as this thought came into her head, the full wave of light slowly started to fade away, the 13th doctor had regenerated and once again the doctor in this new 14th incarnation of the doctor had taken on a female form.
.
Here, as the doctor sat sitting up right on the cold mudded ground, she raised a hand and started to touch her face, 'Still got two eyes, a nose, ah my mouth is luckily in the right place too, ears thank goodness are also in the right place…' and then ran a hand down her body, the doctor finally came to rest a hand, with her fingers stretched out, on her chest. 'And my hearts, my two beating hearts.' A smile slowly formed across her face. "This is me now... My… yes, my new beginning!" she ended in a more hopeful positive tone.
.
However, the process of regeneration had not quite settled; as there came a sudden sharp ringing; it started to get louder and louder, in time filling the doctor's head completely. The sound now reverberated in her head; it was the calls of the doctor's past and present, all at once racing inside the lady's head. It was becoming all too much, the painful truly unbearable. The doctor placed her hands over her ears straight away, but it didn't seem to help her, the sound continued on echoing inside of her head.
A wave of light and energy passed over her face yet again, it was slowly becoming far too much, the doctor here knew that she had to control it, had to take hold of it. 'These are all my thoughts, my journeys, my ever being… they have their meaning, their place... their purpose... which all adds up to who I was, am and will be!' she thought in true and utter turmoil.
The doctor sat there in thought, a line of thought that seemed would never end, everything inside her head was swirling, taking shape, finding their place and defining their order.
The sound was all too deafening now, she couldn't stop it, couldn't control it; even though the doctor tried so very hard to, she was still in flux.
The doctor then saw what she could see before her start to spin, faster and faster it got, as if there was no true real end it. "Stop! Make this stop!' were her cries, but again it didn't. The doctor had never gone through a regeneration so painful before.
Her head shot back, her eyes wide open looking up to the skies above her, as she let out a scream of pain, 'Aaaarrrggghhhh!" Then the doctor closed her eyes shut, holding hem closed tightly in hopes that this would all stop.
She held them shut for a little while, but when she opened her eyes again it didn't; nothing had changed nothing had subsided, the world before her still spun around and the pain filled her head, to the point where it was far too much and the doctor fell back to the muddy earth.
.
A male Reunet, by the name of Augn, had somehow first felt the energy flowing out of the doctor's regeneration, and then heard the screams of pain; running in their direction he came to follow the ray of light, he was one of the group who had planted he bombs in Morsak's castle.
Augn had missed the regeneration process, he had come to see the single face before him, 'An alien, could it be?' the male thought to himself, as he walked towards the one laying on the floor before them.
He came to the side of the body, then kneed down and leaned over the body; as he did so he saw the chest raise and felt the weak blow of air from her lips. 'It maybe hurt, but luckily they're still breathing.'
Suddenly the person's eyes opened, the Reunet was taken a back instantly jumping away from the body, as the person gasped again for air.
Augn was at first taken aback by the female before him; as he had never laid eyes upon anyone without feathers, scales nor fur before, but still felt as if offering aid and getting them both out of Bournew, above all else, was the right thing to do.
.
This new 14th doctor with her eyes open couldn't yet quite focus upon what was before her, only coming to see the blurry form before her, and so at first paid it little attention at all.
The sounds and voices within her head were not all that loud now, but it was still there, still causing the doctor niggling pain. 'Got to focus…' she thought to herself, slowly now setting out goals in her head to master these thoughts, feelings and memories. 'got to look at one thing at a time and then move to the next… concentrate…. focus… one thought… yes, one memory at a time…' The doctor knew that this was easier said than done, but tried never the less.
.
Augn saw that the lady's head start to flux and wobble, concerned here Augn offered her support to stop her from falling back down to the floor, the Reunet seeing that she was about to fall back. "Hey, steady now... Good job I came across you when I did." he stated to the lady, but this was not something the doctor listened to.
.
The doctor held a hand on her back and the other held back on the ground to steady herself upright, feeling more stable she looked around, things slowly came into focus now, enabling her for the first time to fully see the figure at her side, the figure to the doctor was a REunet male with fine-feathers covering his entire body, this Reunet's main feathers were navy blue, with feathers of lighter blue and green here and there.
The doctor smiled at the Reunet. "Hello!"
"I heard a scream… are you okay… are you injured?"
The doctor here blinked a few times and took a few good deep breaths 'Ah, all I needed was some time… as time's tried to fix things, my pain my injuries… I should know that by now.' she thought to herself. 'should have welcomed the process with open arms, even... even if it does mean saying goodbye to a former-self.'
