Chapter 4
New Earth
Outside it was daylight and gleaming with sunshine. "Ah," the doctor said, taking a deep breath.
"What?" Tosh questioned.
"This isn't Felspoon, oh not at all. This is New Earth!"
"Doctor, what exactly is New Earth?"
"Well Tosh, humans eventually invent their own type of space travel. When that day comes all humans leave Earth to go find new planets and other forms of life. Now while doing this you find a planet exactly like Earth. At this point in time the sun has expanded and completely obliterated your Earth. So with no home, you move to this planet. And, might I add, you humans have so little imagination. I mean, New Earth. Oh, and Tosh get this, the town in the distance - guess what it's called?"
"I don't know doctor." Tosh replied trying to be as sarcastic as possible.
"It's called New New York. Funny huh?"
"Yea sure, whatever floats your boat Doctor. So it's just humans, no aliens or anything?"
"Oh, don't be daft. Of course there aliens! Last time I was here I paid a visit to the Face of Boe. Everybody was trapped in a huge subway, and half of the population was dead. Looks like they've restored the town to its former glory." The doctor rambled on as they walked across the meadow from which they landed.
"Doctor, duck!" Tosh pushed the doctor to the ground as something what looked to be a cross between a Terradactyl and a mosquito. It was huge and had a wing span of at least 150 feet. "What the heck was that?" Tosh screamed.
"By what I've seen so far, I think… no I am for sure, that it is a Taraspoon. The question is: what is it doing on New Earth?"
"Doctor, look! There are two people standing over there."
"Right. Let's go see if they can tell us what is going on," the Doctor said as he pulled Tosh along beside him. The two people looked mostly human. All that was different was that their ears were pointed at the top and they were completely green. "Hello," the doctor said. "I'm the Doctor and this is Tosh".
"Hello, my name is Pedareos, and this is my brother Dehman," the female said. "Pray, what brings you two here to our city?" she asked.
"We're just traveling," the Doctor replied. "Say, do you know what that thing was over in the fields? I thought the Taraspoon lived in a completely different galaxy. Why did I see one just a second ago?"
"Yes, let me explain." It was Dehman who was talking now. "Just a little over a year ago, an asteroid fell to New Earth. When the scientists went to go investigate, they found traces of Taraspoon D.N.A. They thought that since the asteroid was cracked in half, that it acted as some sort of egg and that the Taraspoon was roaming around someplace. But instead of falling back like they were supposed to, they collected some of the D.N.A. They took it back to the labs and tried to complete the strands of D.N.A to create a living animal. They used many different types of bugs but only the mosquito worked. They thought they could tame it - create a domestic animal. But as it grew, so did it's free will. The Taraspoon broke free killing all of the scientists that had created it. We found out that when it had escaped, it had mated with the pure Taraspoon, and had created many colonies. Most of the time they stay in the mountains, but lately there have been more recent attacks. You two were very lucky to survive: not many people do.
"Wow, this is sort 'a like the movie Jurassic Park," Tosh exclaimed.
"Tosh, I think we should extend our stay," the doctor said.
