The Twist and The Foxkin are a creation of Titan Comics and writer George Mann

Also, i forgot to mention in the previous chapter that a re-appearence by The Fire-Bird, sort of, was never meant to happen. it was meant to be the usual day out with a rescue, but she turned up out of the blue.

Bemused, Alexia watched as J.D was forcibly teleported away with a cry of surprise, leaving his trainers behind. She'd just been about to check he was okay when he disappeared. He was most likely on the TARDIS with her daughter. Collecting his Converse, Alexia hurried back down the aisle to join the others.

"He's still alive, Dad." Jenny spoke up after checking on the Foxkin with her Sonic Screwdriver.

"Good, and brain activity?" The Doctor asked, a worried expression on his face.

"It all seems normal," Jenny answered, standing up. "He's only unconscious." She could feel and see that The Doctor and Rose were confused.

"Doctor, what just happened?" Rose asked. "Why did Jaime react like that? I've never felt her so angry before. And why did she identify herself as The Fire-Bird? She hasn't been that for a long time."

"I don't know." The Doctor replied, puzzled, rubbing the back of his neck as his eyes were narrowed.

Alexia and Jenny exchanged a knowing look at each other, both thinking over how to explain how and why it happened.

"So you confess that…thing…is The Fire-Bird?" XeAna demanded. She was stood now after previously clinging onto a tired Huxley, both of them scared of Jaime's actions.

"Excuse me! That's my daughter you're talking about!" Alexia uttered, glaring at the young woman.

XeAna turned her glare towards the older woman. "Then you have my condolences," she replied coldly. "Because your daughter killed hundreds of people and she'll kill hundreds more if she isn't captured."

Alexia grimaced and shook her head. "No, she really isn't like that anymore," she continued to defend her daughter. "Somebody took her and manipulated her Mind to kill and harm and hate. She regrets all of her actions."

But XeAna just laughed coldly. "Really? Then why did I just witness her attempt to murder that Foxkin over there?" She pointed at said Foxkin.

Alexia wanted to continue defending her daughter. She really did, but an alarm suddenly went off.

"Urgh, what's that?" Amy asked, voice raised and hands over her ears.

"Air raid siren?" Alexia questioned thoughtfully, voice also raised. "One of them used to get tested all the time at the Harbour." It was a monthly thing and thinking about the City she was born in left her feeling a tad wistful.

"Actually, it is a Sighting Alarm," XeAna added. "Every planet, Space Station, WorldShip in this Galaxy uses one. It's used as an inhibitor."

The Doctor really didn't like where this was going. There was over a hundred suitcases worth full of bad. And this had just been a random trip out, now it turns out Jaime had been in this area before as The Fire-Bird. "And what does that entail?" He asked the young woman.

XeAna turned to him with a grin. "It's well documented The Fire-Bird can't stand high pitched or silent alarms and whistles. The Sighting Alarm has silent alarms in it that only she can hear. It disables that monster…" Once again Alexia grimaced at the young woman's insult. "...And keeps her in place until the authorities arrive."

They all stared at the young female, feeling shocked or disgusted that a weakness had been found and exploited.

"Which authorities?" The Doctor asked.

"There's a Space Force specially set up for this sort of thing. They have a Hyper-Speed ship and they'll be arriving soon to deal with her in the usual way."

Shuddering, Alexia had the feeling the 'usual way' was death or imprisonment.

"Right, thank you!" The Doctor replied with a grim smile before turning to Rose. "Can you deal with them?" He asked about the young couple and the blonde nodded that she could.

He thanked his bond-mate and walked off up the aisle to the chamber where his brother had been. Taking out his Sonic Screwdriver, The Doctor began scanning inside and outside of the chamber, doing his best to ignore the streaks of blood on the Vibe Stick. He heard a shout of protestation from Huxley but continued on working.

"What did you do to her?" Huxley demanded tiredly as he watched Rose carefully lay an unconscious XeAna on the ground.

"Don't worry, she's just sleeping," Rose told him. "How about you? Are you okay?" She asked, approaching him.

A weak and frightened Huxley tried to scramble backwards.

Getting the results he needed, the Time Lord walked to the side of the chamber and started Sonicing a compartment in order to get it open. It took mere seconds for the door to unlock and when he opened it found a container of white lumpy liquid. Time Lord semen. He couldn't let the Foxkin keep it, so he took it out and placed it in his coat pocket. Job done he returned to where everyone stood by, noticing that XeAna and Huxley now had their memories altered. "Come on, allons-y. It's time we were going." He announced.

Rory, who'd been nursing one of the less coherent victims, turned to The Doctor with wide eyes. "What? But we can't go. These people need medical attention. And what about everyone else who's still trapped?" He argued.

Not wanting to have an argument, The Doctor grabbed Rory and pulled him away from his patient. "Leave it to the international authorities. They'll be given proper medical care." He turned to Jenny and Rose. "Can you teleport us out?" He requested.

The two All-Powerful females nodded and said they could. Jenny took a hold of Amy, who still had her hands over her ears and was looking paler than normal, and Alexia. Rose took a hold of The Doctor, who still held onto Rory. Seconds later they teleported away in a flash of gold and green.

The Time Travellers re-appeared outside the Lost & Found Office on The Twist to stunning differences. The whole area was bathed in flashing red light and there was literally nobody to be seen.

"Where did everybody go?" Rory wondered as he looked around at his surroundings.

"I imagine they're all hiding from a so-called monster!" The Doctor replied, somewhat dismayed that The Fire-Bird would cause this kind of reaction. And if everyone in this Galaxy knew who and what The Fire-Bird was, then it was possible they were all in danger. "This way." The Time Lord uttered, pointing to the left. However, before they could all hurry to the TARDIS, a team of soldiers wearing black and carrying some very nasty looking weapons came rushing down the road.

"I think this might be that Space Force lot." Rose said while The Doctor nodded grimly.

The soldiers stopped feet away from them and the lead stepped out from the team. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the protection shelters with everyone else?" The soldier asked rather gruffly.

Putting on a smile, The Doctor pulled out his Psychic Paper and showed it to the soldier. "James Smith, Private Investigation," he stated. "Working out of The Shadow Proclamation. The Fire-Bird sighting was nothing more than just a false alarm. What you really should be worried about is that the Foxkin here have been kidnapping humans and taking their seminal fluids in order to clone their lost colony."

The soldier smiled but it was an unfriendly smile. "I believe the local authorities are already on that case," he said. "Me and my team have been trained to resist Hypnotic, Mind Control, Psychic and Telepathic influences. So that so-called I.D is really just a piece of Psychic Paper."

The clicking of stun guns being primed caught the Time Travellers attention and the Ponds, along with Alexia, kept themselves hidden behind Rose, Jenny and The Doctor.

"Ahh!" The Time Lord muttered sheepishly, putting the paper back in his pocket.

"Harbouring a criminal is a Level Ten Offence and carries a life sentence of hard labour and Judicial Servitude. Especially one as deplorable as The Fire-Bird."

The Time Travellers stared at the soldier, dumbfounded, while Rose felt various bouts of emotions from her fellow travellers. The most emotions she could feel were coming from Alexia, who was finding it hard to listen about her daughter being talked about in this way. She was angry, hurt and upset.

"As for use of a fake I.D, that is a Level Five Offence and carries a ten year prison term and Indentured Servitude."

Rose moved closer to her Time Lord. "Doctor, what do we do?" She asked him, worried they weren't going to get away in one piece.

"Hold on. Just let me talk to them. I'm sure we can work something out." The Doctor replied to his pink and yellow bond-mate.

"No negotiations shall be met. If you are harbouring a wanted criminal, then you will be arrested." The lead soldier stated.

A groan was heard from behind The Doctor and Rose, then Alexia stepped out from behind the couple. The soldiers pointed their guns at her because she looked familiar to the Fire-Bird, but somewhat older. "For the love of Sanity, stop saying that!" She shouted at the soldiers. "She's not a criminal or dangerous. She's my daughter!"

Some of the soldiers were heard to gasp but kept their weapons trained on her. The lead soldier didn't look too impressed.

"The only people who are the criminals are the people who took her from her home. And I wasn't there to keep her safe, so you just…" She yelped when the lead soldier's gun barrel poked into her stomach and she was pushed back from him.

"Back away or you will be shot," the lead soldier snarled in warning. Alexia took several steps away from him and raised her arms in surrender. She really didn't like the expression on his face. It was far too angry. "If that is the case then it is you who is responsible for the Scourge that has been let loose across our Galaxy," the man practically spat. "Through your neglect. You will be arrested and tried for association to the criminal known as The Fire-Bird. It's well known that abilities like that despicable creature can be passed on from parent to child. Maybe you are just as dangerous!"

Wide-eyed, Alexia gulped and took another step backwards.

The noise of three Sonic Screwdrivers suddenly warbling caught her attention, and she watched as the soldiers' Stun Guns blew up and their ear pieces short circuited, causing pain for all of them.

"RUN!" The Doctor shouted and Alexia found herself being pulled along the road by Jenny.

As she ran, J.D's trainers in one hand, Jenny's hand in the other, she could hear the soldiers angrily shouting at them. She didn't even want to contemplate looking back, but took the chance anyway. They were being chased, but what frightened her even more was that there was a Silent following behind the soldiers. Eyes looking even wider, Alexia looked away, feeling a tiny hint of confusion seconds later. The chasing soldiers really scared her and she just wanted to get back to the TARDIS.

Beside her, Jenny felt Alexia's fear heighten, so she also looked back and didn't like what she saw. It appeared the soldiers were gaining on them, which was probably what frightened her adoptive mother. So with a swing of her free arm she caused the soldiers to tumble off their feet. She laughed and carried on running with Alexia.

Finally they all reached the TARDIS and scrambled inside it.

"Why is there clothes all over the Console Room?" Amy wondered as The Doctor swiped a pair of underpants off Console, ignoring the spots of blood on them, and pulled the lever to send the Time Machine into the Vortex.

"Isn't this what Doctor Smith was wearing?" Rory asked, picking up the jeans off the floor.

"I daren't think!" Alexia muttered as she put J.D's Converse on the jumpseat. Then took the jeans off Rory and picked up the rest of the clothes before also putting them on the jumpseat. Somewhere on the TARDIS the Metacrisis was completely naked with her daughter. She shook her head and turned to look at the Time Rotor as it moved up and down.

"Where are Jaime and J.D?" Rose questioned.

The Doctor had been wondering that himself and he grimaced when he got the answer from the TARDIS. "You really don't want to know." He said, cheeks pink with embarrassment as he looked at something on the Monitor.

"I still don't understand what happened," Rose continued. "Jaime's been angry before, but she's never once referred to herself as The Fire-Bird since she came back. She's too scared of that persona. So why start now?"

The Console Room was quiet apart from the Time Rotor.

"I don't know." The Doctor spoke, though he too was puzzled over Jaime's actions.

"I think I know." Jenny spoke up.

Rose, The Doctor and the Ponds looked over at the young Time Lady. A thoughtful Alexia continued to stare at the Time Rotor.

"Go on." The Doctor encouraged his daughter.

"Well…" Jenny stretched out. "What if it was because the Fire-Bird was still in the area, in another part of the Galaxy and she was projecting herself to Jaime. You saw what happened when she lowered her shields to find John." They did and they'd been worried, but Jaime had told them she was fine.

The Doctor mulled it over. "I suppose that would make sense," he said. "It's not the first time she been attacked by a younger or older version of herself. What makes you think it could have been The Fire-Bird?" He questioned.

Jenny shifted nervously on her feet and looked somewhat conflicted. "We found a Wanted Poster at the police station." She finally answered.

A look of worry appeared on The Doctor's face. "What Wanted Poster is this?" He asked and why hadn't he seen it?

Jenny shifted over to Alexia and caught her attention. "Oh, right," Alexia muttered, pulled the poster from her pocket and gave it to The Doctor.

Both he and Rose stared at the Poster in disbelief. "Blimey! That's a lot of money for one person." Rose commented. "And so many names."

But The Doctor shook his head. "Oh, this is not good at all." He stated, continuing to stare at the Poster. Even though the Bounty had already been possibly claimed, Jaime, either version, could still be in danger if they were to hang around in that part of the Galaxy.

"Why? What does it say?" A curious Amy asked and tried to get a look at the Poster. Unluckily she didn't get a chance because The Doctor shoved the Poster into his jacket pocket.

"Never mind, eh!" He perked up and looked at the Monitor. "I've sent a message to the Shadow Proclamation. They should be able to deal with the Foxkin." He frowned, thoughtfully at the Monitor before looking up at everyone in the room. "Who fancies a quick trip to Karass Don Slava? They've got whole meadows of Candle Flowers." He suggested.

"Yeah, go on!" Rose replied, grinning as she watched The Doctor input the co-ordinates.

Both Jenny and Alexia felt there was something familiar about the name of the planet, but then thought nothing of it as they tried to stay on their feet once The Doctor sent the TARDIS on her way.
