Rose came to a halt at the end of the street she had been running on. Reyos was standing a few feet in front of her grinning while holding a gun to Martha's head. Rose almost started running forward again when Colton put a hand on her arm.
"The plan Rose..."
"Forget it! He knows about The Doctor. I'll just kill him now!" She hissed under her breath. Colton pulled out his gun, and Reyos held up a hand. His soldiers held up their guns towards them.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Colton."
"Shut it Reyos!" Colton snapped. Rose saw how afraid Martha looked and then glanced at Colton. Her team had caught up by now and the plan was gone. She couldn't risk their lives.
"Let her go and you can have me."
"And then what? Your team starts shooting? I'm not stupid Tyler."
"Neither am I. I don't want anyone to get killed, so my team will not act."
"Commander!" Eddy shouted, but Rose just gave him a look that said shut up. He frowned and crossed his arms while Rose turned back to Reyos.
"You're right that I don't know Martha, but she doesn't deserve to die. Let's trade. My life for hers."
"Tell your team to put their weapons away."
"Do it." Rose said as she looked back at her squad. Colton looked angry, but complied. "Colton you're in charge now, so get everyone home and never return. This is not your world. You all have lives in the other universe."
"Don't do it!" Martha shouted. Rose looked over at her. "He'll still go after them!" Reyos slapped a hand over the girls mouth to shut her up. Rose frowned. She knew Reyos wouldn't keep his word, but this also wasn't the first hostage situation they had.
"We can't let you do this."
"I don't need you to. This is my choice. Tell everyone The Commander is dead, and move on. Don't attack Colton." She brought Colton into a hug. "Watch your backs. Martha is right. You know what to do." Rose let go of him before turning away and walking towards Reyos with her hands in the air. He grinned and threw Martha towards her. The girls made eye contact quickly.
"Rose Tyler?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry..."
"Just keep The Doctor safe." Rose smiled sadly and Martha nodded before passing her. Rose felt hands grab her and pull her arms back so they could get tied up. She stood before Reyos before someone kicked her down. There was shouting and then Reyos waved his hand and gunshots rang out. Rose tried to yell and get a look at her team, but someone kicked her head into the pavement. She barely heard the crying before everything faded to black.
…...
The Doctor halted when he saw Rose's team standing in a circle. He could see someone lying on the ground, but couldn't make out who it was.
"Doctor!"
"Martha! Donna!" He wrapped them both in his arms. "How...?" He looked around. "Where's Rose?"
"Gone." Colton said quietly. He never took his eyes off the figure on the ground. "Just like Scott." He looked up and The Doctor saw all the pain in his eyes. Finally, The Doctor walked over to them and cursed. Scott was lying lifeless on the ground with his blood pooling at their feet. The hunters were nowhere to be seen nor was Rose. "She traded her life for Martha's. We've been told to go home and never return."
"We can't leave her."
"No..." Colton clenched his fists. "We're going after her even if we get killed."
"Why?" Martha asked quietly. Colton looked at them with a fire burning in his eyes.
"Because Rose would die over and over again to save us. She saves planets and leaves before anyone can thank her. She is my best friend, sister, and Commander. I would be nothing if it weren't for her walking into my life and grabbing my hand." He let his tears fall as he looked back to Scott. "Rose and I made a promise long ago, and I refuse to be the last one standing."
"What happened!?" Mickey yelled as he and Jake appeared before them. Jack ran up beside the Doctor.
"Oh my God..."
"What are you doing here Jack?"
"Ran into Mickey and Jake. What the hell happened?"
"Reyos killed Scott and took Rose." Lizzy said. "We're going after them."
"Damn right we are!" Eddy piped up with Abby nodding beside him.
"Adam?"
"Of course I'm in!"
"We'll help too." Jack said.
"We had a plan." Colton said. All eyes turned towards him. "We had one, but now it's gone. We'll have to get Rose back with pure force."
…...
Everything was dark and cold. Water dripped from the ceiling and fell onto her already shivering body. Hands chained up above her head, Rose knew she didn't have a chance to escape this mess. She tried to see in the darkness, but there was no source of light at all. All of a sudden, lights turned on and blinded Rose. She heard metal clanking against metal and footsteps, but she couldn't see. Next thing she knew, her back was in searing pain. She screamed and clenched her fists before something pricked her arm. A warmth spread through her body as she fell into the blackness again.
…...
The clock keeps ticking for The Commander, but our Doctor needs to hurry...she has taken the dive...
