Rose was dragged into another room where a tall business like man stood, looking out of the window. Rose was still struggling in the grip of the two guards when the man turned to look at her.

"So feisty," he commented, walking towards her. He was roguishly handsome, with long features, long blonde curls and intense green eyes. He lifted his hand to touch Rose's cheek and she immediately flinched away. "Come now, I'm not going to hurt you."

Despite his obviously young age, he spoke like an old pervert. Rose glared at him still trying to break free of the grip of the men.

"Touch me and I will hurt you badly," She growled. Kicking out and barely missing the man in front of her.

"My name is Jacob Brothen and you will do well to show me respect," Jacob said his tone low and dangerous. Rose didn't stop struggling though; if anything she redoubled her efforts ten fold.

"My name is Rose Tyler and if you don't release me I swear you will regret it," she snarled back.

Jacob looked at her for several minutes and Rose almost tried to back away. The murderous look on his face gave her the impression that he was about to hit her. After a while though he back away and sat at his desk.

"I'm going to tell you what is going to happen," Jacob said, shuffling the papers on his desk. "I would appreciate it if you don't interrupt."

Rose was going to answer back, but something told her that she was better off to bite back the remark on the tip of her tongue.

"I'm going to prepare you and the Bad Wolf and you will fight for me," Jacob continued. "It is a fight to the death, so you have a choice; kill or be killed. Do not think of escaping. Not even a Plothos could wriggle out of our grasp. If you refuse to fight, then we will kill you."

Jacob stood up again and walked back towards her, standing with his face barely inches from hers.

"You're going to fight the Oncoming Storm and you'd better make it a good battle," he hissed. Rose was frozen to the spot unable to take her eyes off Jacob's own deep green ones.

"I can't," she said quietly. "He's my friend."

"Then we will have to kill you," Jacob said and he almost sounded sorry. "Take her to the lab. I'll be down in a few minutes."

Rose was once more dragged away kicking and fighting against her captors. She hoped the Doctor was ok.

"If you want any chance of seeing Rose Tyler again you will have to fight her," the boss said, staring at the Doctor as if daring him to say otherwise. The Doctor knew if he didn't then Rose would die, but how could he call upon the Oncoming Storm when, in truth, he didn't know how he'd commanded it before.

"This is wrong," the Doctor said though he didn't refuse the battle. It was his only chance of escape. "So where are you going to 'prepare' me then?"

The man in front of him smiled his roguishly handsome long features, blonde curls, and intense green eyes making the Doctor slightly wary. This was obviously not someone to mess with.

"I have something to attend to first and then I shall take you to the battle arena," the man said quietly. "By name is Joshua by the way."

The Doctor smiled though it didn't reach his eyes.

"Hello Joshua," he replied. "Any chance I can get a bigger cage?"

"Nope," Joshua straitened up and walked away. The Doctor waited until he was out of sight before turning his back on Thax and Nox and slipping the Sonic Screwdriver out of his pocket. He pressed it against the bars of the cage trying to loosen them and break free.

"They're sonic resistant," Thax smiled at the Doctor who jumped not expecting to see the man and whacked his head again. The Doctor groaned and lay down again rubbing the large red lump that was slowly appearing on his forehead.

Rose was strapped into a chair with pads stuck to her head in a large white room. It felt scarily like being put in the electric chair or having a lie detector test and when Jacob appeared after a few minutes she tried to wriggle out of the restraints to no avail.

Jacob smiled at her and it sent shivers down Rose's spine. He sat at the table, the only piece of furniture in the room and tapped away at the computer that Rose was hooked up to.

"Rose Marion Tyler, born twenty fourth of April, nineteen eighty six," Jacob said leaning round the computer to look at her. Rose frowned.

"What?" She said confused.

"I'm accessing your mind," Jacob replied tapping at the keyboard. "Aha here we are. Unknown entity. That will be the Bad Wolf I presume."

Rose tensed in the chair, her hands clenching into fists. He was going to forcibly bring out the Bad Wolf, the part of her that she still didn't know much about.

"You recognise her?" Jacob smirked. "You're heart rate just shot up."

Rose cursed her stupid human body. If the Doctor had been sat here he would've been able to keep p pretences, stop his alter ego from taking over, but she had no choice, they were going to awaken the bad Wolf and she could do nothing but sit here.

"Now if I do this-" Jacob tapped a few more keys and Rose writhed in pain. "Don't like that much, do you?"

"STOP!" Rose screamed. "PLEASE STOP!"

Jacob pressed a button and the pain relented slightly. Rose slumped in the chair panting, tears falling down her face. That had felt like someone trying to tear her soul in two.

Across the planet the Doctor was getting more and more fed up with the stupid cage he was in. He could feel Rose's pain and every time a new bout hit him he was more determined to save her. Before the worst happened.
