I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the worst. But nothing happened. I opened an eye to see the wolves sitting there looking at me, but they didn't look like they wanted to eat me. I opened my other eye and stood up. The wolves stood up when I stood up. They were timber wolves that could be found on Earth. And they looked far from vicious. Tentatively I put my hand towards them, and they started to lick it. I smiled, my tongue poking through my teeth a bit. "Hello there big fellas." I started to pet them. "You two are the nicest wolves I have ever met." They had strangest expressions on their faces. It was like they understood what I said, because they moved closer and stood on either side of me and looked up with puppy eyes. I couldn't help but giggle.

Then I remembered why I was done here. I looked around the cave for a way out. "Why aren't you eating me anyway?" I asked them when I saw a pile of bones and a few skulls.

One of the wolves got onto it's hind legs and put its front paws on either one of my shoulders. He looked into my eyes with his lupine eyes. Then it spoke, "You are The Bad Wolf. You are the alpha for wolves everywhere. This has been in place since you were born. We serve you." He went back on all fours and assumed what looked like a bowing position. The other wolf copied him.

Today just keeps getting weirder and weirder. But this bit of information in succession of today's events I decided this is the only thing to make sense all day. "Would you two like to get out of this place? We need to get the queen and her advisor. They are evil. It is up to us to save the people who live here and my friend. Is there a way out of here?" I asked them.

They nodded and started to walk away. I followed them as they lead me down a cavernous corridor. Eventually we came to a stone archway. I scratched both of their ears before going through the archway. I looked back to see that they had stopped. "Well come on then, we have a planet to save." The wolves bounded up the stairs to catch up to me and we climbed the staircase together.

When we finally got to the main floor, we started to look for The Doctor. Carefully of course, didn't want the enemy to know I was still alive. I poked my head into every doorway and had the wolves sniff the air trying to locate him. Soon we were nearing the throne room. I motioned for the wolves to be still and silent.

I could hear a conversation taking place with very familiar voices. "Is everything in place?" Cleopatra's voice asked.

"Yes, Your Highness." My jaw dropped at The Doctor's practically robotic tone. No. This is unacceptable.

"If we want this to work now, you have to initiate it now. Before other planets notice. If they show resistance, it will be harder to overpower and control them." Jafar suggested.

I looked at the wolves for advice. I didn't know what to do. One of them jumped on me to whisper in my ear. "Call on the power of the wolf." It resumed it's usual position.

I took a deep breath before heading into the throne room with a wolf on either side of me. The Doctor was wearing only a tunic with a rope belt around his slender waist, and shackles binding his wrists and ankles. He was using his sonic screwdriver on something. Cleopatra was busy looking at herself, and Jafar was lost in thought walking in circles. Neither of them noticed me and my canine friends.

I cleared my throat. "I think this place could do with a little anarchy. What do you think Tempest, Storm?" I asked my furry friends who were snarling and growling.

Everyone in the room looked like they just saw a ghost. I guess they did, considering I was supposed to have been eaten by the wolves, not make friends with the wolves.

"How are you not dead?" Cleopatra was clearly struggling to grasp the fact that I was fully alive.

I strode across the room, appearing more confident than I actually felt. When I walked past The Doctor, I briefly looked at him and saw that his expression was vacant. He was a shadow of the man that I had only known for a few hours. I didn't stop walking until I stood at the bottom of the steps to the throne. "Let's just say I got in touch with my wild side." I glared up at her. "Leave these people alone. What do you have to gain by controlling them?"

"Why, they are only the beginning! As soon as The Doctor is done fixing the, what's it called again?" Cleopatra started to explain.

The Doctor stated in the same monotonous tone as before, "The Vunexator. It will make everyone obey Her Majesty."

This is not going to work well with me. I will give them one last chance. "I give you one last chance to stop this right now. Why do you need to make everyone obey you? Your reign ended when you died several hundred years ago. Just live like an ordinary person."

"I could, but having this much power is more satisfying. Bow down to me, you stupid human!" Cleopatra stomped down the steps angrily. She took a step towards me, but Storm and Tempest snarled at her, so she stood where she was.

I put my hands on my hips and pretended to think about her proposition. "You see, this is where you and I don't see eye to eye. First of all, these people were friendly and peaceful and free before you got here. The Doctor, he had suffered long before you came, and you got him when he was most vulnerable, twice. I don't think brainwashing and manipulating people into doing your dirty work is a very nice thing to do. You are a very terrible queen. And for all the crimes you have done, you have given me no choice, but to punish you."

"What are you going to do? Sic your dogs on me?" She laughed.

She didn't laugh for long though. Tempest and Storm pressed themselves against me and they howled. And I started to howl along with them as a burst of lupine energy flowed from them into me. My eyes dilated and I could feel my face stretching. Instead of being almost the same height as the Egyptian queen, I found myself having to look down at her as my legs and my torso got longer, at the same time they were thickening with muscle. A popping sound came from my hands and feet as they turned into claws. My hearing was suddenly more acute; I could hear the rapid beating of Cleopatra's panicking heart, the two hearts that were supposed to be beating in The Doctor's chest were barely making any sound, and Jafar's pulse was becoming agitated. And that wasn't my only sense that was getting enhanced, I could smell something cooking in the kitchens that were located several buildings away. And then there was the reeking fear coming from the two evil souls in the room. My two lupine friends were gone as they had molded themselves into me, they were now part of me, I could feel them inside me. On a far wall there was a mirror. I didn't look like any werewolf I had ever seen in the movies. I was more of a giant wolf on two legs with blonde hair than a mutated human. When I opened my massive jaws my sharp fangs glistened. I closed my mouth and returned my attention to Cleopatra.

"Actually," my voice was lower and more husky. I noticed Cleopatra shiver at just the sound. "I don't like to make others do my dirty work. So I will take out the trash myself." Before she could respond, before she could even blink, I scratched her face, leaving relatively hideous, bloody claw marks along her left cheek. Then she fell to the floor. She was still alive, just in shock.

Then a sharp zap hit my back. With quicker reflexes than a cat, I turned to around to see Jafar gripping his staff which was emitting smoke out of the snake head's eyes. It was aimed at me, but now he was pointing it at The Doctor. I ran faster than a cheetah and pounced on the vile man.

"I Have reason to believe that you are behind all of this. Using your scepter to control Cleopatra to control everyone else. You are the ring leader in this foul circus. The scepter could only control one person at a time. Controlling a powreful queen was the key to getting control over everyone else. You just wanted The Doctor for his brain because he is smarter than you will ever be and has the ability to speed along the process of making everyone your minion. It seems you overlooked one small detail. Me. Do you know who I am, Jafar?" I looked directly into his loathsome eyes.

"Hmmm. A human with an affinity for wolves? You are correct on all counts. Congratulations, you have deemed yourself brighter than I initially took you for. But just because you're a foul beast and have some intelligence does not worry me. In fact I think you should be focusing on your precious lover. His life is almost up." Jafar indicated an hour glass sitting on a table next to the throne. The top half was getting low. I estimated that there was ten minutes left in it. And weighing what Jafar said, that is how long The Doctor has to live. I have ten minutes to save The Doctor.
