Chapter 4
Owen Summons
Adrian and the 12th Doctor looked at each other aglow with a purple light, able to breathe and then fully able to scream. Once they'd stopped screaming they stared at each other some more,
"OK so, clearly we're not dead, we're not the only ones glowing either but we seem to be the only one's able to more or know about it" The 12th Doctor said
Adrian nodded and they stood up,
"So, not kidding with the whole, she downs planets thing?" He said
"Not kidding, no"
"So what do we do?" Adrian asked
"We go to Limerick" The 12th Doctor said
"I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the wedding and the match are off due to the pitch being waterlogged" Adrian said
"That your attempt at humour?" The 12th Doctor asked
"Sarcasm" He replied
"I like it" The 12th Doctor said
Adrian walked over to the window and looked out at the only upright plane outside,
"Question, can we fly a plane underwater?"
"Wrong question, can we turn it into a submersable? The answer is yes"
Jasmine and the 11th Doctor were making their way across a carpark of upturned cars and luggage and flattened trees,
"So how did Ocean escape her prison cell?" Jasmine asked
"I don't know everything" The 11th Doctor said childishly, "She found out the TARDIS was the TARDIS and the TARDIS had a baby but she hasn't had a baby yet and if Adrian dies here and she kills him the baby won't happen and...we all die? Why do you do this to me Jasmine?"
"What?" She asked
"I can tell you anything" The 11th Doctor said, "You're the only one I've ever told my deepest darkets secrets too and completely candedly, I see your face and your deep eyes, your knowing eyes and suddenly I have nowhere to hide, no desire to hide. You're my home" He said breathless, "There's something else you should know, I've been spending time with our Granddaughter Venus, from Adrian' 2nd form, we met some mummies and Egyptions, I did some match making after dropping her back...she won the Nationals Jasmine" He added with a grin, "But then she quits the next year thanks to her sister but then she opens a studio called the Under Dog"
"Doctor!? Jasmine!" It was Emperor calling
"Yeah! We're here!" The 11th Doctor called
"Then we are there!" Came the Emperor' reply
Jasmine laughed,
They found each other and started to walk as one along the motorway of side over cars,
"What's the plan?" Jasmine asked
"We find what's left of my book and reverse the drowning, confront Ocean and hope she hasn't got the hostage with her" He replied
Owen and Jack unbuckled their seatbelts and looked at each other,
"We're not...I mean, I can't...you...that's aother car gone" Jack said
"Guess we'll be walking the rest of the way" Owen said
Jack frowned,
"Not unless..." He began and then he opened the door and piered down
"We should really get out of this car now" Owen said
"Yep"
They carefully climbed out, up onto the bonnet of the car and then through the smashed window, they then made their way through the ship and down to the cargo hold. Thankfully the doors were open for them. Owen followed Jack onto the coach and watched in shock as he got it to work.
Owen sat down in the seat next to him and belted up as Jack drove off the boat and then the estury wall, before floating to the ground, the silt they disturbed made it difficult to see at first as Jack drove.
"You've done this before haven't you?" Owen said
"No, never" Jack said before offering Owen a grin
Liam and Mo were standing before a large lake with blue marble pillars beneath and tiles with two arms crossing swords on them.
"Where are we?" Liam asked
"We're in a Plafeno, it's a bowl of blessed water Galafray sits in, it can only be seen by the Gods I charge of looking after our water creatures or the "Lost"" Mo told him
"It's beautiful but where's the ring I'll be challenged in?" Liam asked
"Down there" Mo pointed, "It isn't usually underwater itself but in the time it took us to get here Eath drowned"
"What?!" Liam exclaimed
"An ancient Time Lord...who isn't really a Time Lord"
"What is she then?" Liam asked
"A double of Owen' past life, with the power to control water" Mo told him, "You need to get a message to him. We'll call this task one, but first you must prove yourself to them"
With that Mo shoved Liam into the lake
As the 12th Doctor made his final adjustments to the plane Adrian climbed into the cockpit and introduced himself to the stiff pilots and the co pilot sat in the corner clutching a bottle of JD,
"I'm Adrian and I will be your...oh I don't know what I am?" Just as the 12th Doctor joined him he discovered he could play music, "Oh hey!"
"No!" The 12th Doctor replied turning it off, "Let's go"
Adrian blew a raspberry at him and turned the music back on.
"Tell me about Ocean Ray, how did she come about?"
"Owen was a princess in his past life, Faith they called her. While she slept Floored used a stolen doubles crystal from the Castle of Nightmares to create a double of her. He knew of the powers that lay dormant within him, when Faith died of the plague the double died too. Floored dumped the double' body in the mote and left but Faith guardian was given a resurrection guantlet and it brought both of them back to life, only with Faith came death and a Time Lord with the ability to control water. The Emperor took her, guarded her and then exciled her but she returned to kill the Emperor and ended up in Orphisville prision. Now she's managed to break out of that. We can reverse the drowning but I don't know how to beat her. No one's even been able to"
"If Owen..." Adrian begain
"Owen isn't alive...not enough for her anyway" The 12th Doctor said seriously
"Oh wow, we're in trouble aren't we?" Adrian replied
"You better believe it"
"Is that mum and you...Granddad and Vera" Adrian said looking out the window, "Look dad!"
The 12th Doctor piered out,
"Let's pick them up"
Jasmine, the 11th Doctor, Emperor and Vera looked up in shock and stepped back as they watched this plane come into land without wheels before them and saw Adrian and the 12th Doctor waving them up. It took some effort after they infleated the slide, something Adrian couldn't help find amusing, to get up and into the plane.
Once they were all on board they colapsed on top of each other in a pile of bodies in the asile,
"So how's half a book going to help us out here?" Vera asked
"It's not" The 11th Doctor said
Liam woke up in the room below the water. To his shock the water was just a veil but he didn't have time to take in this wonder because he got shoved to the floor by an unseen source and a sword landed beside him with a loud clatter,
"Some Demi-God, not fit to even see my face" Came a brash voice.
Liam glared, grabbed the sword and stood up but he was gotten the better of a few times. Eventually he stopped and centred himself, he closed his eyes and used his ears to anticipate the next attack. After doing this for a minute or too he opened his eyes and saw a beig made of water before him.
It scared Liam and the being sensed his fear,
"It's rude to stare"
With that Liam was pushed into a vortex.
Jack and Owen were driving through the Irish Sea towards Rosslaire when the plane skimmed over them,
"What that a plane?" Jack asked thinking he'd gone mad
"Nah" Owen lied
Jack shrugged and kept going
Owen shook his head.
Adrian anxiously looked all around the cabin at Jasmine, the 11th Doctor, Emperor and Vera sleeping. He jumped when the 12th Doctor stepped outside,
"This is the opposite to sleeping" He said
"I can't...I don't" Adrian began
The 12th Doctor put his hand on his temple and knocked Adrian out.
At that moment he heard a cracking sound and he looked out the window to see a glowing orange crack move across the submerged sky above. He shook his head.
Liam was grabbed from the floor and found himself in a courtyard, surrounded by statues made of different materials, he also had different tools, jugs and fountains with different elements.
"Hidden within this courtyard is a spear of revival, we need you to find it and bring Owen to you"
"How do I do that?" Liam asked
"We need you to invent a dream for Adrian, one he keeps having, then once he's absorbed the rest of the Emperor' book ad reversed the drowning Owen will carry his still body, you replay that dream and he hears a portion of your message. The message is "Owen, summons Faith"" The water creature told Liam.
Liam shivered but realised, looking at Earth in the reflection of the water that he didn't have much time to get this done.
He went around, using the different elements and tools to destroy statues to find the spear. Once he had this everything in the room melted along with him until he was somewhere else.
Adrian' dream: Adrian was standing in his flooded living room. Water was pouring down the walls and over his feet. He looked up and saw his own face, crying the tears in which he was now swimming. He looked up at the clock on the wall but couldn't make out a time.
Then he heard Liam and turned to find him swimming opposite him, glowing,
"Don't lose yourself over me...tell Owen to summon up the courage, summon up Faith"
Adrian woke up with a start,
The 11th Doctor was shaking him,
"What did you just say?" He was asking
"It was just a dream" Adrian said sadly
"Time Lords don't dream" He told him seriously, "Someone was telling us what we need to do...pay attention next time...buy the way, we're here"
"Hey! I'm the harsh one, he's greiving, show some sensitivity so I don't have to please" The 12th Doctor said
The 11th Doctor looked at Adrian and bowed
"I'm sorry boy-o this witch makes me fear for everyone' life"
"I get it" Adrian said getting up
"Should we wait for Jack and Owen?" Vera asked as they stood in the centre of town looking for the library,
"Nah" Emepror said
"Is that the library?" Adrian asked, pointing out an out of place Gold building with statues either side of the double doors, "There's no water beyond the threshold"
"That's it but the lack of water beyond is news to me" Emperor said
At that moment another crack appeared in the sky,
"Should the sky be cracking like that?" Adrian asked
"No" Emperor replied before leading the way into the library.
The library was wood panelled with parquet flooring throughout and red leather chairs around tables with glowing lamps but it was very cold in here and soon everyone was shivering.
"Someone wanted to protect the books" Emperor said before setting a shelf on fire.
Adrian scoffed,
"I did" Came a voice,
Everyone looked up the stairs going off up on the other side of the room and found Crystal there,
"On a scale of 1-10" Adrian begain
"Don't start with the water jokes" Emepror said with a point
"How are you?" Vera asked Crystal after hugging her,
"I've been wetter" She said with a wink at Adrian
It was at this moment that Jack and Owen arrived, through the doors, on the coach, flooding the ground floor until Emperor could force the doors shut and remove the water,
"Breaks wouldn't work" Jack said guiltily before sharing a hug with Jasmine
"Where's my hug?" The 11th Doctor moaned
"Sorry" Jack said
Before he could though the 11th Doctor sulkily put his hand on Jack' face, they all then shook with the sound of cracking and they all ran up the stairs to the window atop so they could look out at the cracks in the sky,
"What are they?" Crystal asked
"K.R.A.K, they're part of the Space Police computer frame, they make planets, where in criminals eed to be dealt with habitable for them. Trouble is here we have a hostage situation and even though Ocean is our problem if we interfeer, which we're going to then we're going to get arrested and I don't know about you but I've seen the inside of enough space cells" The 12th Doctor said, he then clapped his hands together, "Right, what do we need?"
"A lawyer?" Adrian asked sarcastically
"We need to find that book" The 12th Doctor replied ignoring Adrian now
They all went off in different directions.
A few minutes later Owen and Adrian backed up into each other, guns outstretched. They jumped and looked at each other,
"I fear I may be a bad influence on you Emperor Ray" Owen said
"Would't have it any other way Owen" Adrian said, it was then they noticed a lever at the end of the corridor they were standing in, "That's out of place"
Owen reached out and pulled it,
Suddenly still skeletons in long Time Lord robes, carrying books appeared all around them,
"Guys!?" Jack called
"Don't touch any of them!" Emperor called, "Everyone to the ground floor library now!"
Owen and Adrian didn't argue, they made their way around everyone carefully, until they were safe in the ground floor library.
Here, in the centre was a bright beam and a small woman of 4 foot within it,
"Adrian" She said, "Sealer of my fait I command you forward"
Adrian was dubious until the Emperor nodded.
Adrian stepped forward, was then grabbed by the woman and vanished,
"Where'd he go!?" Jack demanded
"That is for her to know" Emperor said, "He'll meet us on the pitch"
"But" Jack started
"You know better than to answer the Emperor back or question Lady Justice, let's move out" The 12th Doctor said
Adrian and Lady Justice appeared on a space craft, within a control room full of gold light,
"Lady Justice, Earth has drowned I need to do a reversal spell but I need your book, I need you" Adrian said
"What we do in the future affects our past, you absorbed half the book when you stared into the vortex of time on Galafray, no one has ever stared into "That" vortex. The others were born of Gallifrey EY. This light is what's left of me, take it but be careful, you must return me to book form before you take the TARDIS from your father' last form, you must never let his past forms know what you're doing for him or because of him do you undestand?" Lady Justice asked him
"I understand" Adrian said
With that the gold light was absorbed into his skin and water poured from his eyes.
The water was draining away, fast and as it did Adrian' unconscious body appeared on the football pitch. Instinctively Owen ran to his aid and as Ocean appeared on the pitch with two KRAKS and the hostage he took Adrian off pitch.
Once again Adrian had the dream about Liam but this time as Owen lay Adrian down on a bench he heard these words,
"Owen summons...Faith"
Owen stepped back in shock and then felt a jolt, he turned to find Liam holding the spear of revival,
"That ought to speed things up a bit" Liam said before vanishing into thin air
Suddenly Owen knew what to do, he ran onto the pitch and ignored the fighting but the fighting soon stopped when they realised that Owen was now painting the Time Lord symbol on the floor and putting crystals he materialised in his hands on the ground at various points.
Jack was terrified,
"That's not Owen anymore" He said
"Owen...?" Ocean said in question
Owen looked up and smiled,
"Times up Fury! I have Faith! I am Faith! It's two against one!"
He knelt to the ground and placed both hands down until a headstone rose from the ground and from it a grave formed, out of which climbed a girl with the plague. The girl walked up to the now immobile Ocean and placed her hands on either cheek, singing ring a roses to her,
"We all...fall...down" She grinned
Jack, the 11th Doctor, Vera and Crystal screamed when Faith and Ocean dropped into the ground and vanished,
The sign also vanished and Owen grabbed his head in pain.
"Can we get married now?" The 11th Doctor asked looking at his watch?
