A room with barely any light in it was surrounding the two unconscious bodies of Sherlock and the Doctor. The first one to wake up, miraculously, was Sherlock. He rubbed the back of his head, which felt very heavy. As if he's having a hangover. He studied his surroundings.
"A prison cell," he mumbled to himself. He knocked on the wall. "Rock – very strong limestone." He knocked on the ground. "Rock – also limestone." He studied the metal door that was the only way out. "Metal – contains copper, tin and.. a mysterious metal I haven't encountered before."
Next place to search was the only light source of the room. A small window. Although he was very tall, he couldn't reach it, but his eyes could tell that it's also made out of strange metal. Since the room had nothing unusual in it, besides himself, the Doctor and everything rock, he's powerless. For now.
He sighed deeply and sat next to the Doctor, so he could discuss the situation with him, when he wakes up. It didn't take long though for him to wake up.
After a couple of minutes, he yawned and was up in a jiffy. He looked at the poor bored Sherlock and asked "You know, you look very scary, when you're bored."
"You should see me when I'm bored for a whole day." Sherlock shrugged. "It would feel like the end of the universe."
The Doctor laughed a bit, before standing up and taking a look around the room himself.
"Ah, limestone and tungsten. Now I know who our kidnappers are." Sherlock raised his eyebrow. "Tungsten?" he asked.
The Doctor nodded and ran to see what lock is holding them inside the cell. "It's one of earth's most strongest, heavy metal." The Doctor explained as he tried to sonic the lock, but Sherlock just sat there, looking at him.
"So, who are we dealing with?"
"Something very dangerous, yet peaceful. Nano-people. Probably a big horde, because of the amount of rare metal they have. That should explain why we didn't see them coming at us. They probably used their knock-out gun and transported us here without us know-"
"Did they take Amy?" Sherlock changed the subject. The Doctor turned to him. "Tell me, is she safe?" "Of course she is." The Doctor walked to Sherlock and knelled down. "Because of the amount of gold she has in her blood, she is not seen. The Nano-people actually worship women, because of it. So, she should, be safe, for now."
Sherlock huffed in disgust and rubbed his face. "Are you saying that those, so called, Nano-people are worshiping every living female creature on earth?"
"In the entire universe." Doctor corrected him. "Ever since birth, they have the duty to worship females. They're almost like ants."
"And you expect me to believe this?"
"Yes."
Sherlock stayed silent. Although he met him a short while ago, deep inside he feels like he can trust him. He is a strange man, but very intelligent. Has Sherlock finally found his equal brain? He grinned. "This should be fun."
Meanwhile, Amy has joined Jeanne. She was allowed to ride behind Jeanne, because she found the male soldiers to be scary and according to Jeanne, she was 'naked'.
"So," Amy broke a long awkward silence. "where are we going?"
"To a nearby village to gather some more soldiers, then to Compiègne. To war."
The only thing that could come out of Amy's mouth next was 'meep'. That meant that her capture and death was very near.
Jeanne raised her eyebrow. "What was that about?"
"Oh, nothing!" Amy apologized. "I just have a bad feeling about what is to come."
"Me too, Miss Pond. The Lord thinks something strange is going to happen there, so that's why He needs me to check it out."
Amy started to have some doubts about this God Jeanne was talking about, but decided not to question it.
She wondered where Sherlock and the Doctor went. They just vanished and left not a single trace of themselves. 'I hope they're alright,' she prayed in her mind until she had arrived at the village.
Everyone in it cheered, when they saw sight of Jeanne. The women of the village almost looked like they were crying of joy. Young girls threw rose pedals along with the young boys, but there were no sign of men. As they got closer to a castle at the corner of the village, Amy got the idea why she didn't see any of the men along with the women and the children. They're all going to war. Along the men, she could see some daughters and wives saying their last good-byes to their male family members. "Good to see you," said one of the older soldiers as he approached Jeanne. "I was about to think you were ambushed by the creatures."
Jeanne scoffed. "As long as I'm along with these men, they will be safe."
"But why don't we take the women with us? Then we will have victory for sure." said a younger soldier with a stubborn voice.
"We can't," Jeanne explained to him as he got off her horse. "Lord has something else planned for them to help us reach eternal victory."
The young soldier went red like a tomato and burst out his anger like a bull "Are you saying that you're leading us to death? That all these men will die just because the weak women can live?"
Jeanne pushed him away and said "No! We will come back from Compiègne victorious!" Her crystal gentle voice cracked as her anger rose. "The women need you to protect them! That's your destiny! The Great Lord forbids them to go to Compiègne, because if they do, you won't have any women to protect!" She then glared at the young soldier. "So, I recommend, Ser Portuis, to not question His plannings if you want to come back alive!"
Ser Portuis and everyone around the castle stayed silent and waited for the echoes of Jeanne's anger to fade away. Before Portuis turned around he said to Jeanne "Sometimes, I wonder, why He chose you. He chose well." and he directed himself back into the crowd.
Those words made Jeanne happy that he let out a small warning to him, she could feel that his ways have changed.
"Miss D'Arc," Amy said after the silence ended. "when you met me, you said you needed me-"
"No, I don't need you, the Lord needs you." She caressed her horse's nose as she spoke, leaving a gentle warrior's impression.
"Why does He need me, then?" Amy asked.
"You're a Time Traveler. A female time traveler."
"Pardon?" Amy got confused.
"The Lord told me that you came from the future to save us, with two companions – Sherlock and Doctor, I believe?"
At first, Amy thought Jeanne just as crazy as in the movie, but this Jeanne seemed sane. Her visions are real. Does she really talk with God?
"Yes," Amy nodded. "how did you know?"
"He told me, how much do I have to repeat that?"
"But who is He?"
Jeanne sighed. "God. The Creator. The Lord. Do they teach you anything back at home? This was planned for over 100 years."
She then took off the silverite glove and what Amy saw was unbelievable. It had a golden dust glowing around it and the hand itself was glittering.
"I am the Chosen One. I am the new Queen of the Nano-people's, who has come to save her children and take them back to the King, my destined husband."
The tone, which she used, was the tone Amy could tell a proud daughter usually uses. Having this experience in the History felt very weird, because this wasn't in the books at all. But, fortunately, this would be Amy's first experience with new kinds of aliens.
Having a little experience with Sci-Fi comics and movies, Amy thought 'Is this gonna effect the Human race positively or negatively?' If only Doctor was here to explain the whole situation!
