Supernatural/Doctor Who crossover fan fic: The Night the Earth Cried

PART Three: The Rani

(Cloud Planet)

The TARDIS landed a little hard and the crew almost felt into each other. 'Your landing is terriable Doc.' Dean said a bit annoyed as he brushed himself off. 'It was actual better then I thought it would be.' The Doctor explained as he looked at his companions and smiled. It had been a long time since his TARDIS had been this filled, not since Children of Time. He looked sad again when he thought bout that. That had been the last time he would see Rose Tyler. He knew she was engaged to his human self so she seemed happy it still bothered him that he had to leave her on that alternate planet. He shook his head this was no time to look back, there was nothing he could do about that. He had another mission on hand and involved his family. 'Doctor we ready?' The Doctor looked at Hotaru and saw her eyes, they looked scared. He realized then she had, just had a vision. She shook her head indicating this was not the time. It was also something he knew could not be prevented no matter how hard he tried. 'Yes, well just about everyone go grab jackets. Amy could you take Dean, Sam and Rory with you they need to get ready.' Dean had a uneasy feeling. 'That is okay. Sammy can you grab me a jacket I think I am going to stay right where I am.' He looked at Hotaru and then the Doctor and crossed his arms over his chest, he was not going anywhere. He still did not trust the Doctor all that much. 'Right, you know I am not your slave Dean.' Sam snapped. Dean closed his eyes and look back at Sam. 'Just do it!' He snapped which startled his brother who knew something was up. 'Okay, then. Lead on Amy.' Sam said as he followed Rory and Amy who kept looking back wondering what the heck was going on! The Doctor knew he could not help so, he followed the others knowing full well he was most likely going to regret that.

'What is going to happen Hotaru?' Dean asked as he glared at her eyebrow raised. 'Something to my brother and I?' He asked and Hotaru shook her head. 'Amy or Rory?' Again she shook her head. 'The Doc or his family?' Annoyed Hotaru shook hear head once again tears filling her eyes. A side effect from her connection with Dean apparently, she could not hide anything from him as realization hit him. 'Hotaru, I know you have the Doctor and the others here to look after you but just so you know, my brother and I will do anything we can to protect you, and get you home to that financee of yours. ' He frowned. 'Even though I am still way better looking then him.' He smiled as Hotaru smirked, which was sort of the reaction he was hoping to get. Sort of. 'Thank you Dean. You have a great heart as does your brother, you just need to show it more.' Dean frowned but made no comment. 'We ready?' Amy asked as she came back with the boys. Sam handed his brother the coat and saw something like a connection or whatever go on between Dean and Hotaru. Sam sighed, his brother was not one to give up easily. 'Yes, but be prepared for anything.' They started to head out but Dean and Hotaru stayed back a bit. Sam turned to his brother who shook his head. Sam knew his brother well enough to know the reaction going on had nothing to do with lust or anything like that it was something more, deeper. Now Sam was concerned and tried to stay back as well but again Dean shook his head. Sam nodded and took out his knife something bad was about to go down. Sam nodded as he headed out and Dean faced Hotrau. Her face was white and full of fear, she started to shake. 'Hotaru stay with me now. Don't let the vision take control.' He said as he reached up with a free hand and forced her to look into his eyes. 'I can't stop it Dean!' She stammered. 'Yes you can! You have my brother and I. I promised you we would protect you.' Hotaru blinked her eyes going wide, it was scary but right now Dean was sounding just like Ianto, the first time her power went into overdrive!

(FLASHBACK THREE YEARS AGO: CARDIFF)

Hotaru was running late, Ianto was going to flip! She and Ianto had been dating now for a few years, after both being hurt by Captain Jack Harkness. They had forgiven him but that did not mean it still did not hurt when she thought bout him. She hurried into the Hub and Gwen looked at her. 'Your lucky Ianto had to step out to get ingredients for the coffee. He has no idea how late you are.' Gwen explained and Hotaru let out a sigh of relief. 'There you are luv, I was getting worried.' Hotaru blushed as her heart rate sped up just a bit when Ianto walked in. She truly did love him with all her heart and soul. She turned to him and was swept into his arms once Gwen rescued the ingredients for the coffee. But it was not because he wanted to hug her it was because she was in pain. Hotaru winced as a vision swept across her mind, a girl in an ally being attacked and people were laughing at the girl! Then it ended and Hotaru was breathing heavy and sweating. 'What the hell was that?' Gwen cried as she put the bag safely on the counter. 'I have no idea! It hurt her whatever it was.' Ianto stammered as he held Hotaru close. 'Girl, ally, attack, laughing.' That was all Hotaru was able to say before she blacked out and woke up a few hours later on the couch with Ianto hovering over her. 'What happened?' She asked as she looked around the Hub. Ianto and Gwen shared a look which she knew very well. 'Oh no, what did I do now?!' Ianto knelt in front of his luv. 'You don't remember?' He asked and Hotaru shook her head which was a bad idea cause she felt very dizzy and had to close her eyes for a few seconds to stop the world from spinning. 'You had a vision so powerful it knocked you out.' Hotaru looked up at Martha who she had not seen in a long time and frowned. 'That has never happened before!' Hotaru squeaked as she looked back and Ianto fear in her eyes. 'It could have been much worse if Ianto had not caught you.' Gwen said as she walked over to them. 'He was worried this could happen with all the rift activity going on right now.' Ianto stood and moving Hotaru over a little he sat down behind her head and lay it in his lap. 'It does not matter. I am going to protect you at all costs luv that is a promise.'

(END FLASHBACK)

'Hotaru did you hear me?' Hotaru blinked when she heard Dean's voice. 'Yes, I am sorry I was distracted.' Dean smiled. 'By me I hope.' He teased, Hotaru punched him in the arm not hard but it still made him wince. 'Seriously Hotaru I am not gonna let this Rani hurt you or use your gift for her own power.' Hotaru wanted to believe him but she knew the Rani had already planned on what she would do if the others got in her way. 'Okay.' Was all Hotaru was able to say before the door burst open and she was pushed behind Dean. 'You cannot stop me mere human!' Hotaru felt her blood run cold. 'I can try!' Dean shouted as he stood his ground in front of Hotaru. She tried to look around him but she couldn't. She saw enough. Sam was on the ground writher in pain, he had come back to help after all! She could not see the others but she already knew they were locked up somewhere in the Rani's TARDIS. 'Leave them alone.' Hotaru cried as Dean fell to his knees in pain. The Rani did not stop right away. 'ENOUGH!' Hotaru cried with so much power in her voice that the Rani did stop. 'No, Hotaru don't do it.' Dean stammered as he tried to stand but could not at the moment. 'Leave them alone. They don't even belong here. I will go with you but leave them alone. You know I have the power to stop you and it would most likely kill both of us so make your choice. I go with you willingly and you leave Dean and Sam alone.' The Rani had a fear of dying just like the Master had so she did not fight it. 'Fine.' She let the brothers go but sent them both wincing in pain for one more second as she led Hotaru out of the TARDIS.

'No, not again I will not lose someone again!' Dean screamed as he got shakily to his feet and leaned over to help Sam. 'We are not going to lose another one. I promised her I would protect her.' Dean stammered. 'Lets go Sammy, it is time for us to be the knights of the round table.' Sam frowned. 'Don't ask lets just save Hotaru before the Rani uses her powers to take complete control of Hotaru.' Again, Sam frowned and Dean sighed. 'Hotaru saw a vision. She knew this was going to happen she also saw what Rani was going to do to her and why she told us not to rescue her! She is going to take control of her with some kind of jewelry, but Hotaru could not see what it was. There is one other person who can help us but right now he is AWOL so Sammy, it is up to you and me. Lets go rescue the damsel in distress.' Sam smiled as they tore out of the TARDIS and raced after the Rani and Hotaru.

Another figure appeared inside the TARDIS and he smiled. He would be able to join in the fight soon enough but not quite yet but very, very soon.
