From Renegade to Doctor
Chapter 2: Mickey and Rose
The Doctor walked along a road next to some council flats, his Sonic Screwdriver shining red as he scanned for the Auton arm had foolishly tossed the girl, Rose, he remembered. It was due to the fact he was looking at his Sonic that he bumped into a young man with dark skin.
"Oh, I am terribly sorry, young man." Apologised The Doctor, as he helped the young man to his feet.
"It's alright, are you okay?" asked the young man, looking at the Doctor.
"Why, yes, I am, err." Said the Doctor, looking at the man.
"Oh, Mickey, Mickey Smith." Said Mickey, holding his hand out for the Doctor.
"Ah, yes, Doctor John Smith." Said the Doctor, shaking the young man's hand. The Doctor noticed that Mickey was holding the Auton arm he was looking for, "An odd object to be carrying around at this time of night."
Mickey looked down at the arm he was carrying, "Yeah, my girlfriend told me to get rid of it, he job's just blown up." Said Mickey, confirming the Doctor's suspicions that Mickey was a friend of Rose.
"I'll get rid of it for you, I'm heading towards the bins anyway." Said the Doctor, looking Mickey in the eye. Mickey looked at the Doctor and then at the arm.
"Alright then, if you want to." Said Mickey, handing the arm to the Doctor.
The Doctor nodded and Mickey continued on his way. The Doctor then returned to the TARDIS, the arm now in his possession. Arriving in the console room, he came face to face with the Corsair.
"Corsair, May I ask what you are doing aboard my ship?" Asked the Doctor, looking at the burly man.
"This is the Doctor's TARDIS, I've already run the scans." Said the Corsair, shortly, "I suggest you tell me where the Doctor is, and I'll keep you're affiliation to the Doctor under wraps."
The Doctor looked at the man, someone who the Doctor had tagged as a prankster, now prepared to black mail people for answers.
"TARDIS protocol one, show all incarnations of the Time Lord known as the Doctor." Said a cold voice, from the other side of the console. The Doctor looked past the Corsair and saw Romana, standing with members of the High Council.
"Lady President, this is a surprise." Said the Doctor, before the Corsair pressed his staser into The Doctor's side.
"Renegade, I'm not here for your useless drivel." Said Romana coldly, as holograms of the Doctor's incarnations appeared. The Doctor watched as a hologram of his first life appeared, the ring on his finger, the cane and his slicked back hair style. A hologram of his second life replaced the first and the third replaced the second, the fourth replaced the third, the fifth replaced the fourth, the sixth replaced the fifth, the seventh replaced the sixth, the eighth replaced the seventh and finally a hologram of his current incarnation replaced the eighth.
"From the Old man who ran away, to the Cosmic Hobo, to the Action hero, exiled from his home, to the adventurous man, to the sport loving gentleman, to the ego-centrical, to the manipulative wizard, to the Edwardian poet and, finally, to the Warrior who decreed No More." Said the Doctor, darkly, making the other Time Lords jump.
"You fought in the Time War?" Asked the Corsair, looking at the Doctor.
"Corsair you saw so yourself." Said the Doctor, shortly, wiring the arm into the console.
"I also saw the destruction you caused, the lives you ruined, the beings you murdered, Time Lord, Dalek, Gelth, Zygon and any other that got in your way." Said the Corsair, looking at the Doctor, "And yet everyone mourned the death of the Doctor, a mere two years into the Time War."
"I helped out in my previous incarnation where I could." Said the Doctor, looking down at the console, squinting.
"What made you change?" Asked Romana, looking at the man she thought she knew.
"A young girl, a Gunship pilot, Cass, her name was, she saw the Time Lords no different than the Daleks." Said the Doctor, absent minded, "She died refusing my help because of this, although both of us died, I was just more salvageable for the Sisterhood of Karn." The other Time Lords flinched when they heard the Doctor had actually died, "They revived me long enough for me to regenerate and they gave me a choice of elixirs to take, I opted for a Warrior."
The TARDIS Console beeped and the arm started to melt, "What, no, no, NO!" Yelled the Doctor, trying to stop the arm from melting.
"Doctor, what are you doing?" Asked Flavia, looking at the other Time Lord.
"The Nesetene Consciousness is on Earth and I am trying to locate them." Said the Doctor, hitting the console with his fist.
"Wasn't their world destroyed?" Asked the Corsair, looking around.
"Yes, it burnt during the Time War, along with the Gelth, Zygon home world and many others." Said the Doctor, fiddling with some levers, "Ah, found another one, excuse me for a moment."
The Doctor exited the TARDIS, find himself out the back of a restaurant, a pizza place, The Doctor snuck inside and spotted Mickey and Rose being questioned by another Customer.
"But how did you two meet the Doctor?" Asked the man, the Doctor grabbed a bottle of champagne and walked up to them.
"Champagne?" Asked the Doctor, holding it out for Rose.
"You got the wrong table." Said Rose, not looking at him. The Doctor did the same with Mickey and got the same result.
"Oh for heaven's sake, will someone take the damn champagne?!" Exclaimed the Doctor, looking at them.
Mickey and Rose looked up and their faces went slack, the man looked at him as well.
"Gotcha." Said the man, making the Doctor start shaking the bottle.
"Oh, don't mind me, I'm just toasting the happy couple." Said the Doctor, releasing the cork like a bullet into the man's face. The cork was absorbed and the man spat it out. The man launched himself at the Doctor, only for the Corsair to grab him from behind and tear the man's head off.
"Don't think that'll stop me." Smirked the man, The Doctor grabbed Mickey and Rose and pulled them out the back, the Corsair behind them with the Auton head. The Doctor pulled the two humans out of the restaurant and into the TARDIS, letting go of their arms when they were safe in the console room.
"What the hell?" Said Mickey, looking around the large spacious room, inside a small Police box.
"It's bigger in the inside." Said Rose, staring at the Console.
"Really, I hadn't noticed." Said The Doctor, pulling levers, making the TARDIS take off, "She's called The TARDIS, Time and Relative Dimensions in Space."
"Are you an alien?" Asked Mickey, looking at the Doctor.
"To you yes, to other species, I am an ancient being that they fear." Said The Doctor, "Unfortunately."
Mickey and Rose looked around.
"What happened to the other guy?" Asked Mickey, looking at the Doctor, as he tried to make some other people stop touching the controls.
"Most likely, he was killed as not to arouse suspicion." Said The Doctor, swatting a woman with dark hair away from a screen.
"Wait, so that guy's dead?!" Demanded Rose, looking at the Doctor.
"Yes." Said The Doctor.
"He's dead and you're letting his head melt?" Demanded Rose, gesturing to the head.
"What?" Said the Doctor, looking at the head, which was indeed melting.
"Oh, no, no!" Yelled the Doctor, rushing over to the console and hitting buttons.
The TARDIS Landed and the Doctor rushed outside, The Corsair and Romana following him. Rose and Mickey followed behind them.
"What are we looking for?" Asked Romana.
"A large dish like object, probably hidden in plain sight." Said The Doctor.
"We moved." Said Rose, looking stunned.
"An excellent observation." Said The Doctor, dryly.
"But how can it have moved? It's a box." Said Mickey, looking at the TARDIS.
"Trans-dimensional Engineering." Said The Corsair, while The Doctor and Romana walked off.

The Doctor and Romana made their way to underneath the London Eye.
"Doctor, was it wise to leave those Time Lords in the TARDIS? What if they leave with her?" Said Romana, looking at the elder Gallifreyian.
"I wouldn't Worry, Flavia is in the TARDIS, she knows me, and she knows what'll happen to them if they try to steal my ship." Said the Doctor, before looking at Romana, "Why are you all so desperate to find me?"
"We assumed you had gone on a small survey mission after you were proclaimed dead." Said Romana, "We wanted to see what information you'd come across."
"That's not all is it?" Asked The Doctor, looking at Romana.
"No, Rassilon used what remains of his power to regain control of major parts of Gallifrey." Said Romana, "He also started labelling you as a coward, who ran from the Time War, but you reported directly to him."
"Rassilon is scared of me." Said The Doctor, "He has the reason to be."
"What do you mean, Doctor?" Asked Romana, confused.
"I know what Rassilon is." Said The Doctor, darkly.
