Shortly after Rose gave the Doctor all the info she had, the three made there way into the TARDIS. Before the Doctor could ask Rose where too, she walked up to the console, reached in her pocket and pulled out a disc and placed it into the console. Suddenly, the center column sprang to life. She pulled a lever and pushed some buttons. The TARDIS roared with life. Suddenly, it slowed down and stopped. Rose looked at the Doctor and then smiled. She took her foot and tapped the underside of the Console, then hit the center with the bottom of her fist. The TARDIS sprang back to life again.

"Where are we headed?" Donna asks.

Rose replies with a smile, "We're picking up some much needed supplies soon after the Console slows down and comes to a stop. Well, we're here…"

Rose walked towards the doors with the Doctor and Donna following close behind. Stepping out, they see that the TARDIS has arrived in a large room inside of a warehouse. Suddenly, around the corner came a familiar face and a voice from the past was heard.

"Hello…" the voice says.

The Doctor looked around and greeted the voice with a smile, "Mickidie Mick Micky Smith, How are you?" the Doctor says. "I'm fine boss…" Micky replied.

The Doctor introduced Mickey to Donna, "Hi, I'm the once little tin dog…" Mickey says with a smile.

"Nice to meet you I'm sure…" Donna responds, giving him a hand shake.

"Mickey," Rose says, "Is everything ready?"

"Yes…" he replied.

"Good…" Rose says.

Rose looked at the Doctor, "Doctor, we need to load some crates in the TARDIS. Will you approve?"

"What are they?" he asked.

Rose replied, "Weapons…"

The Doctor gave her a look, "Rose, what aren't you telling us about this threat to Earth?"

Micky looked at Rose, slightly peeved, "What you've not told him?" Mickey says.

"No. I didn't feel it was the time…" Rose replied.

"Well," Mickey says, "It's the time. I've been monitoring the other dimensions and it has begun…"

"Wait," the Doctor yelled out, "What has begun?"

Rose looked at the Doctor and replied, "The coming of the darkness. We have to go…"

Mickey grabbed three large crates sitting on wheels and rolled them towards the TARDIS. The Doctor followed along with Donna and Rose. Everyone boarded the TARDIS, making the crew now four. Once again Mickey has joined the TARDIS. Rose ran to the Console and tapped furiously at it. The central column went up and down and soon they were on there way once more. Within minutes, the TARDIS shook rapidly. The four of them tumbled about.

"What's happening?" Donna asked.

Rose replied, "What you're feeling is the change in dimensions. The TARDIS shifts from one dimensional zone to another. The ride is always bumpy. You should try traveling it without a machine..."

"Are you kidding?" Donna replied.

Rose grinned at Donna.The Doctor stood back silently, noticing that Rose has taken over the controls of the TARDIS. He should have stopped her but he felt that she knew what she was doing and knew that it wasn't some kind game.

Soon, the engines slowed down and the TARDIS came to a sudden stop.

"The TARDIS has landed. We've landed again. Let's head out…" Rose says.

Mickey swung open one of the crates and grabbed a gun, tossing it to Rose, "Alright, let's go hunting…" Micky says.

"We're not on an African safari are we?" Donna asked.

"No…" Rose says, "But you're pretty close…"

Rose led the other three towards the door. They stepped out the doors of the TARDIS and soon realize they have landed near a large field. The four made there way across the large field when suddenly, there's an explosion and the air was soon filled with lights and sounds of gunfire at the top of a hill. A battle was being fought with all the dust and debris that come with it. Human figures could be made out through the dust but what were they were all fighting with was somewhat of a mystery.

The Doctor and the other three approached the humans. From what they could see the humans were military soldiers and they bared a patch on their sleeve of a well known military organization that the Doctor knew all to well – UNIT.

One of the soldiers called out, "Fall back! Fall back to the river!!" the soldier says just before an explosion threw him across the field. The Doctor and his companions take shelter behind trees and large boulders as the firing continued.

While the Doctor hid behind a tree, looking on at the battle before him, he began to get flash backs from the Time War. He thought back to when the first battle between the Time Lords and the Daleks came to Gallifrey and how they fought the Daleks to the edge of the Cadonflood River near his family's home in the Cadonflood Valley. He remembered how it was a long and furious battle, full of pain and bloodshed and remembering how he was in the thick of it all. In the end, the Time Lords won that battle, but not without heavy losses.

Suddenly, the Doctor is brought out of his thoughts of the past when a grenade blew up near him, causing him to be thrown back, knocking him unconscious. What seemed like days was only an hour. The Doctor and other three were taken back to a nearby camp. The Doctor opened his eyes and sat up in his bed. Wiping off one of his eyes, he began to speak in a strange language, as if he was asking about something. Donna sat next to him in a chair, looking down at him, "Doctor, you're awake, but what is this language you are speaking?"

The Doctor continued to speak the language a couple seconds more before realizing where he was, "Oh, sorry Donna, was I just talking in Gallifreyan there?"

"No idea. I've never heard the language before…" Donna replied.

"I think I was. It's been ages since I've spoken it. It brings back to many memories. What happened? he asked.

"You were knocked out. We managed to drag you to UNIT Ground Base, with a little help from Micky and me…" Donna says.

Doctor smiled and shook his head, "And for a moment I thought I was back in the war bunkers of Rassilon's Rampart…"

"Excuse me but what is Rassilon's Rampart?" Donna asked.

The Doctor shook his head, "Never mind Donna. It was a long time ago…"

Rose came into the room and walked over to the Doctor, "Are you alright Doctor?"

The Doctor held his head a moment, "Yeah. Just a bit of a headache…"

"I knew you would pull threw…" Rose says with a smile.

Suddenly, another familiar voice is heard, "As did I…"

Doctor looked up and saw Martha standing in the doorway.

"Martha." the Doctor says with an excited tone.

He jumped up and rushed over and hugged her as he did Rose when he met her, "I say, it's a bit full in here. What's going on?" the Doctor asked.

"Well, we don't know. We only know they attack in smaller crafts that come from as far as we know two larger crafts in the atmosphere. Our weapons have little effect but sometimes we get lucky…"

On a nearby screen, Martha showed the Doctor an image of one of the crafts. He stared at it with a look of stunned silence. "Doctor…" Martha asked, "Have you seen these before?"

He moved his eyes and looked directly at Martha, "Yes, I've seen them before, long before. They are…"

But before he could say, the building was rocked with an explosion. Everyone was thrown about as Mickey ran into the room. Rose, Donna and the Doctor were all in the dust that was hovering in the air.

At that moment, the Doctor began to have flash backs again. This time, he was in an enclosed war bunker on Gallifrey. He saw Chancellery guards as well as civilians running up and down a narrow dirt path between two walls of solid metal, as explosions rocked outside. Suddenly, he felt a tug on his right sleeve. He soon saw himself in his 8th incarnation, looking down at what was tugging on him. He soon noticed a little male child, looking up at him. The little child spoke, "We are not dead…"

The Doctor then came back to the present. Suddenly, coughing was heard. Rose appeared, helping Donna towards Mickey and Martha. Martha called out through the dust, "Is everyone alright?"
"Yes, I think so…" Rose replied.

"Wait, Where is the Doctor?" Donna asked, looking around.

They see a figure making its way through the clouds of dust. It's the Doctor.

"Doctor, are you…" Martha says.

"I'm alright. For a moment there, I thought…" the Doctor paused.

"Thought what?" Micky asked.

"Nothing…" the Doctor replied, "Is everyone alright?"

They all answered with a 'yes'.

Martha brushed herself off, "What ships are those?" she asked, but before he can answer, once again, a small ship unlike the others appeared suddenly in the sky. A large purple hazed orange tinted light surrounded the Doctor and then he disappeared. "Doctor! Doctorrrrr!" Martha, Donna and Rose cried out.
