Rose stared at the woman in the doorway. "Aliens?"
"Yes! They came in a spaceship!"
"What are they doing Donna?" The Doctor asked quickly as he walked over to her.
"Scaring people. I think they are searching for someone."
"What do they look like?" Rose asked.
"Human." Both Rose and The Doctor were rushing to the doors of the TARDIS. Donna followed behind closely. Rose stepped out and saw the ship and it looked very familiar. She froze and felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Do you recognize it?" Donna asked quietly.
"Yes. I need to go...I need my team..." Rose ran a hand through her hair and looked back at The Doctor and Donna. "I'll be back but I need you guys to stay low."
"Rose who are they?"
"They call themselves Venatoribus Lupus." Rose said as she entered coordinates into her jumper.
"Hunters of the wolf." The Doctor said with fascination in his eyes. "What kind of wolf are they hunting?"
"Me." Rose said with a toothy grin. "And they haven't gotten me yet." She heard shouting coming closer to them. "You need to hide now."
"I don't hide."
"Doctor just do it please." Rose said.
"Why can't I help?"
"You can by going back into the TARDIS. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"You have ten minutes and then I'm going to go after the hunters."
"Fine."
"Fine." The Doctor said with a smile. "Be careful Rose."
"You too." She saluted them as she disappeared. Donna looked at The Doctor.
"I'm glad you found each other."
"Me too." The Doctor said with a huge grin. "Now let's get in the TARDIS while we wait for her."
…...
Rose appeared in her office at Torchwood and ran out of her office. Rebel looked up and dropped his pen as she walked over to him.
"I thought you were actually going to take a break sis."
"I was and well I decided to go visit The Doctor, but then the hunters showed up. We need to go stop them."
"Why are the hunters back? I thought we shook them off last time."
"You know we can't get rid of them." Rose said as she made sure her boot knife was secure. She made sure that she never went anywhere without it. At least not after last time. Rebel sighed and put his gun in his holster.
"We have to do something. This stupid war between us is going to last forever."
"I know." Rose said quietly. "And I brought it to my home world. I never should have gone back."
"Don't go blaming yourself Commander. This is not your fault."
"I wasn't careful. I didn't think! Just had a thought and acted on it."
"Nothing new." Colton said as he hopped off his desk. "And we can take care of the hunters. Always have."
"What's our plan?"
"Go back to the TARDIS and see what the hunters are doing. We can decide on a plan then."
"Yes sir!"
"Let's go introduce everyone to The Doctor then." Rose grinned.
…...
The Doctor paced the TARDIS console room while he waited for Rose to get back. He had no idea what she had gotten herself into, but it wasn't good.
"Doctor?"
"Yes Donna?"
"She's coming back."
"I know."
"And she's going to stop this."
"She shouldn't have to."
"Well she has enemies like you do and she's not really alone."
"You got that right. My little sister can kick anyone's ass because she has the best team ever." Rebel said as he plopped down onto the captain's chair.
"I'm pretty sure I can kick anyone's ass even without you guys."
"Ouch. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the box."
"I haven't slept in two days."
"There's the problem."
"Oi! We have hunters roaming around London! What do we do!?" Donna yelled when she got fed up with the banter.
"Sorry..." Rebel said as Rose rolled her eyes.
"I take them out."
"How?"
"Just gotta put them back in their place."
"How?" Donna asked again. Rose sighed.
"Force."
"So you plan on using force how? Do you plan on killing them?"
"If they hurt innocent people yes Donna I will." Rose said as she pulled off her jacket.
"He never told me you were a killer."
"There's a lot that he doesn't know. I've changed and this is how I do things now."
"That's wrong!"
"What do you even know!?" Rose shouted as she took a step closer to Donna. Colton quickly leaped forward and grabbed Rose. "They will always come back! If I don't kill them, they will kill countless others just to get to me! I'm not going to let innocent people keep getting slaughtered!" She was seething with rage now and her eyes were starting to glow. Donna stepped away from her as fast as possible.
"So it's your fault." It was barley audible, but Rose had good hearing. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them. Her expression was unreadable, but her eyes held immense pain. Donna regretted yelling at her.
"Yeah."
"What did you do?"
"Pissed off Reyos." Rose shrugged out of Colton's grip and left the TARDIS.
"What happened?" Donna asked quietly.
"She killed his brother after he hurt one of our own."
"That's not a good reason to kill."
"It was for Rose. She's right you don't know anything about us. Don't get attached because I'm almost certain we won't come back after we finish this." Colton said as he went after Rose. Rebel looked at Donna sadly.
"Don't take any offense. Those two don't know how to act sometimes. I'm Rebel." He stood up and shook both Donna and the Doctor's hands. He gestured towards the others. "They are Eddy, Abby, Lizzie, Dex, Adam, and Scott. All proud members of the Alpha Squad. You saw Colton already, and two of our members will be here shortly. Mickey and Jake."
"How did you guys meet?"
"Well...long story. One that we don't have time for, but I'll tell you that Rose and Colton have known each other for many years before meeting us. They have a bond stronger than most. That's why it seems like they're joined at the hip sometimes and their foul mood? Well that's them protecting each other." Rebel said as he looked at the door Rose and Colton had exited. "They've been through a lot."
"Can you tell us more about the hunters?" The Doctor asked. Rebel nodded.
"Well better to start at the beginning I guess." Rebel leaned against the console and took a deep breath. "My sister is the big Bad Wolf, and many people fear her power. With the name The Commander it makes that fear stronger. Well many years ago, Rose Tyler met a group of people fresh out of a war and something happened causing her to unleash some of her power." Rebel glanced over at The Doctor. "Rose never meant to hurt anyone. All she was trying to do was help, but something happened."
"What happened Rebel?" Donna asked quietly. He smiled sadly at her.
"Rose lost control and the hunters were born to destroy her."
…...
She becomes unpredictable when her heart takes the lead. The Commander is a truly fearsome foe when that happens.
