The Doctor leapt up, breathing heavy. Constantine, meanwhile, crumpled, exhausted from all the mental stress.
"Come on," said the Doctor, getting to her feet. "We need to help the others."
"Give me a minute love," said Constantine, trying to catch his breath. "I have just pulled your mind out of the mental realm using only my willpower, it takes a lot out of a guy."
"Our friends are in trouble," said the Doctor, pulling him to his feet. "We need to stop them before the Autons take them out."
Constantine let out a wry smile as he let the Doctor drag him out of the kitchen. "You obviously don't know the Legends very well," he said.
The warlock was right. As the two of them entered onto the deck of the ship they were in perfect view of the battle going on. The Legends were battling away against the Autons, skilfully holding their own. Rory and Zari were working as a double team to melt the plastic and cool it to freeze it in place. Ray was providing aerial support, blasting any Auton that tried to get the drop on Sara, who was holding them back with her batons. Graham, Ryan and Yaz, meanwhile, were watching safely from the sidelines, not wanting to become a target.
"We need to take out the main consciousness," said the Doctor. She put her earpiece to her ear. "Excuse me," she asked, feeling awkward about butting in. "Do any of you happen to know where a giant blob of plastic is?"
"You mean the one underneath Tomorrowland?" asked Ray.
"Yeah, it attacked us down there," agreed Ryan.
"Excellent," said the Doctor. "Legends, keep them busy. Ryan, show me the way. Graham and Yaz, look after Constantine, he's still pretty weak. Lets end this before anyone else gets hurt."
Hurriedly the Doctor ran off the ship and headed towards Tomorrowland, Ryan quickly catching up to lead her the way. Behind her the battle raged, but it seemed for every Auton they took down, two more sprang up in its place.
They were at the entrance and, without pausing, the Doctor immediately jumped down into the tunnel. Ryan paused, slowly climbing down the ladder. The Doctor felt guilty leaving him, but she had to resolve things quickly.
Sure enough the plastic blob that had dragged Ryan and Ray into the castle had returned to its home and was sitting there, rumbling. The Doctor looked at the blob, weighing up her next move.
"You have a plan, don't you?" asked Ryan.
"Course I have a plan," said the Doctor. "I always have a plan. You can't just run into things without a plan."
"So what's your plan?" asked Ryan.
"To politely ask it to leave," replied the Doctor.
"That's not a plan!"
"No, it is more of a suggestion... Anyway, I'm sure we can reach a compromise."
At that the plastic blob turned and roared at them. Ryan backed away in fear, but the Doctor stood her ground.
"Look, surely we can take you somewhere else?" asked the Doctor. "Find you a new planet."
A roar was her response.
"Yes, yes, I know you want to take over the world, but why this world? Why not another one?"
Ryan looked on confused. The Doctor was clearly having a conversation, but it seemed very one-sided.
"I don't want to have to do this," said the Doctor. "We can work it out peacefully."
But the blob wasn't listening, and was instead moving towards her. The Doctor sighed, held out her hands, and started to recite an incarnation. Suddenly a portal appeared behind the blob, starting to suck it in. The blob struggled, but nevertheless the Doctor continued her chant, and with a forceful final word the blob was sucked into the wormhole.
The Doctor dropped her arms, letting out a sigh of relief.
"I'm so glad that worked," she said. "Or I'd have been really embarrassed."
