"I thought you said this was a peaceful society" I said, looking up at River.
"The Mawkingees are usually peaceful. I don't know what could be causing this sort of commotion." She then turned towards the Doctor. "Care to find out, sweetie?"
"After you" the Doctor said gesturing to her. River broke into a sprint quickly followed by the Doctor and myself. It wasn't long after that we saw smoke rising into the air in the distance.
"Oh my God!" I cried. "It looks like the whole city is engulfed in flames. We need to get everyone evacuated. Like right now."
"We will" the Doctor assured me. "I don't plan on there being any deaths today. Not on my watch" he spoke in a very robust tone.
"What do we do?" I asked him.
"There are two entrances" the Doctor explained. "One at the Northeast corner and one at the Southwest corner. We're going to come upon the Southwest entrance first. Violet, you stand by that one and do whatever it takes to get them out. River you do the same by the Northeast entrance. I am going to create some atmospheric excitation and hopefully perpetuate some level of precipitation over the city in order to extinguish the flames. Everyone got it?"
"Yep," I responded.
"Absolutely" River said.
"Good. We're only a quarter of a mile away. Violet, I'm going to stop here and River will lead you to where you need to be. Remember, do whatever it takes to get them out of there."
"I'll do my best" I assured him. He nodded.
"Come on, sweetie, this way" River said leading me towards the southwest corridor. As we grew closer, I began to cough violently due to the heavy smoke. "Use your respiratory bypass sweetie. It'll make it easier to breathe in this smoke." I nodded as I tried to remember what the Doctor had told me. I held my breath and suddenly it was easier to breath.
"Oh, that's so much better" I said. A few seconds later, she came to a stop.
"We're here" River told me. "Remember get them out any means necessary."
"Got it!" I told her. River nodded and ran around the corner.
"Hello?" I called out. "Um…my friends and I have come to help, but…um…you guys are going to need to follow me." No one responded. "Follow me if you wish to live!" I shouted more loudly. Surprisingly enough, that did the trick as a group of about 20 individuals gathered together and ran towards me. "This way," I said leading them towards the Doctor. He looked up when we arrived.
"Violet, brilliant, you did it!" He turned towards the rest of the group. "I'm creating some atmospheric excitation right now. Basically, I'm going to perform a miracle and make it rain. Judging by the size of the fire, it should be extinguished in 22 minutes, give or take a minute." He pushed something on his sonic screw driver. There was a sound of thunder and then rain began to fall. "Now then, does anyone know what could have started this fire?"
"Big cloud, purple." one of the Mawkenees said. "With great, big lightning bolt."
"Hmm…that's odd" the Doctor mused.
"What is?" I asked him.
"This planet doesn't have purple clouds. They have blue clouds and grey clouds, but definitely not purple."
"So why was this one purple then?"
"That's exactly what I'm wondering. Violet, go find River and bring her back here. Things just got interesting."
