The doctor's moon

Chapter 16

The still nameless enemy watched with pride as his guards dragged the still struggling Doctor in to the laboratory. The time lord wasn't going to give up without a fight but was so busy trying to escape that he wasn't working what was going happen to him. The three burly men who had hold of him lifted him off his feet then secured him to a huge steel table that was cold on the Doctor's back. The guards stood back and their master stood over his captive.

"Comfortable Doctor?" He mocked.

"I'm not even going to answer that." The Doctor replied through gritted teeth.

"Oh, there's no need to be like this. I just want to learn all about you and how you work. From what I hear, if I can work out your little secrets, I could control the entire universe."

"Well, you're deluded. You didn't even say you are."

"Of course, where are my manners? I am Pierce Edwards."

The Doctor's eyes widened with shock. He'd heard that name before. Luna had mentioned it before although that was the extent of her knowledge. The Doctor just hoped that Luna was ok and would be able to fix this mess.

Meanwhile, Tom woke up and sat up to see where he was. He was in the park just around the corner from Luna's house. He also noticed it was dark already. He slowly stood up and looked to his left. He couldn't believe his eyes. Lying, tied up, was Victoria. She was shaking with fear but totally with it.

"Mrs Edwards," He said dashing over and freeing her, "Are you ok? Where have you been?"

"I was kidnapped by him," She replied sorrowfully, "Where's Luna?"

"I don't know. I've only just come round."

They both looked around until they saw a shadow starting to stand up.

"Luna?" Victoria called.

"Mum!" It was her.

Out of the darkness, Luna ran to her mother and threw her arms around her. Tom stood smiling at the reunion. Finally Luna had a smile on her face but there was no escaping the situation they were in. The Doctor was still in danger. Luna explained to her mother what happened to their time lord friend

"So we need to save him."

"No, we need to get home, fix up everything and forget this mess. Come on, it's cold out here."

Victoria started walking home with a confused Tom behind her. However Luna refused to move. Her mother realised she wasn't following, stopped and turned to her.

"Luna."

"Lulu, come on. We can come up with a plan at home."

Hesitantly and angrily, she followed. She was going to save the Doctor like he saved her when they first met.

At the house, Victoria and Tom started tidying as Luna tried thinking of a plan to save the Doctor. Suddenly something caught her eye. She stared hard at it then realised what it was. She dashed to it and picked it up. It was the sonic screwdriver, the Doctor's prized tool.

"Is that the Doctor's screwdriver?" Tom asked.

"Yes," She replied, "He'll have dropped it when we were taken away. Now I have something to help him with."

"Luna, you are not going anywhere!" Victoria suddenly snapped, "I refuse let near that place."

"But Mum. The Doctor needs me. He's protected and cared for me and he's taught and shown me so much that I can't just desert him now when he needs me most."

"It's not that simple sweetheart. The person who has the Doctor is… is… your father."

This stunned Luna frozen. She knew that her father was still alive and left when she was tiny but how could he return and ruin her life like this? Victoria explained that Pierce had studied the Time Lords after he accidentally came across one many years ago. It was what caused their marriage to fall apart and now that the Doctor was the last of the mighty race, all of Mr Edward's questions would be answered. This cemented Luna's determination to save the Doctor. If Pierce had his way, the Time Lords would definitely be extinct.

Back at the lab, the Doctor was absorbing the information that had just been given to him.

"You're Luna's father." He gasped.

"Well, done Doctor," Pierce grinned evilly, "You've always been so sharp and on the ball. Oh and don't think that I'm only interested in you. It's your amazing species I'm fascinated by."

"If you're going to dissect me, you'll only be wasting your time. I'm the only one left. The Time Lords are all gone."

Pierce starred at The Doctor in disbelief. The race he had been trying to learn about was all gone but for this specimen. His surprised expression turned in to a stern and cold one. He turned on his heels and left the room, followed by his guards, leaving the Doctor strapped to the table alone. 'Great, just great.'

Despite everything she had just been told, Luna was still determined to save the Doctor. She got changed quickly, put the sonic screwdriver in her pocket, clipped Spots on her belt and put the TARDIS key around her neck. Finally she looked in under her bed and found a metal box there. It was padlocked. She pulled out the screwdriver, held to the padlock and opened with sonic. Inside was a familiar weapon that she hoped she'd never have to use but now she would. She carefully slipped it in its holder then around her waist. That's when Victoria appeared.

"You're really going to do it, aren't you?" She asked.

"I have to Mum. From what the Doctor told me, it Pierce discovers the secrets of the Time Lord, this planet is doomed. I owe it to the Doctor, to his people and to this planet."

"Just be careful sweet heart."

Luna kissed her mother's cheek and dashed off to the TARDIS to set off on her rescue mission.

Slowly, she walked up to the blue box and ran her fingers down the wood. She then stepped inside and shut the door. The control room seemed so quiet without the Doctor darting about, getting excited about their next adventure. She got to the controls and gave a tiny smile.

"This could be the last time I fly you, old girl," She whispered, "So let's do this properly and save your master."

There was a noise that sounded like the TARDIS agreeing with her. She pulled out Spots, located the Doctor's position and set the coordinates to that place. With a deep breath, she pulled down the handbrake and was away.

After about an hour of lying there on his own, the Doctor jumped slightly at the sound of the laboratory door opening. He looked up and saw Pierce walk in with an arson of operating tools. Not far away was a row of jars with pickling oil inside. The Doctor didn't have to ask what they were for. Pierce smiled evilly at the helpless Time Lord then started to open the Doctor's shirt for access.

"Just relax Doctor," He mocked, "This will only hurt for a moment.

"Ah now, come on you really don't want to do this," The Doctor tried stalling him.

Pierce ignored him, selected a tool and aimed where he was going to cut first. Suddenly there was huge blast and plenty of smoke. The doors had been blasted open. The Doctor's hearts raced as a shadow formed within the smoke.

"Drop the surgical apparatus, Pierce!" A familiar voice spoke.
