Author's notes: Hope you all love it. Oh, and in this there's a teeny bit of kissy. Ridgebii is pronounced Ridge-ee-bee. Kistain is pronounced kiss-tan-ee. Raish is Ray-ish. Hope you liked the last one. There's only a few left. Note- The Doctor fought the Raccnoss with ROSE as well as Donna in this.

Chapter 7:

They entered the chamber, and the Doctor crouched down, picking one up. It was odd, but he recognised it. Spider-webs! They were spider webs! That was weird. There was only one spider breed that could do this – Raccnoss. But they were dead, gone…


They had destroyed the last ship.

All but last. For if the empress survived. That would mean…

"Oh no… Rose, the Raccnoss!" The Doctor turned, but suddenly a rockfall was beginning. The earthshake shuddered the building. Rocks began to fall. "RUN!" Screamed Raish, running. Rose and the Doctor followed him, but the Doctor stumbled- and at the wrong time. For as he did so a heavy rock hit the wall and flung off, smashing into his head and smashing him to the wall.

"Doctor!" Rose was by his side in a second. She lifted him slightly Into her arms, looking around desperately. Raish appeared just in time to see a panicky Rose watch a trickle of blood run down the side of his head. But he wasn't regenerating, so it couldn't be that bad…

Or could it? Had it harmed him in his brain but not enough to kill? She began to cry but, with amazing strength, Raish lifted the Doctor. "RUN!" They ran together, him clutching the doctor. They escaped just before the building collapsed. The other reptilians had come running. Raish lay the Doctor on the ground and Rose crouched over him, tears burning in her eyes as she lifted his head, wiping away the trickle of blood. One hand on the back of his head, where he'd been hit, felt damp and warm.

Removing it, she saw it was sticky with blood. Tear dropped from her eyes onto the Doctor, but made no effect. "Doctor?" She whispered. Was he dead for real? Had he run out of regenerations? Or was he about to regenerate. Then she saw he was breathing. Oh-so-faintly, his chest was rising and falling. "He's alive!" She exclaimed.

When the Doctor awoke, his head was sticky and felt weird, painful. He opened his eyes to see a pretty blonde teenage girl looking at him with concern in her eyes, looking at him. "You're awake!" She exclaimed, joy in her voice. The doctor blinked, wondering why this girl seemed faintly familiar. "Er. Hi. Um… who are you?"
