A/N: Here we go! Working on the other one too, there is such a thing as too much domestics and I'm trying to be a little less harsh on the Doctor in the lead up to the wedding, so it's fluff city. I'm going insane. At the moment, Guitar Hero takes priority :D

Yes, it's very Kingdom Hearts. I freaking LOVE those games! (Dances) Oh, and the Doctor knew instantly about Rose after they reset the game because he's clever :D And I also didn't want to spend another chapter causing problems by him asking questions so like it or lump it :P But preferably like, because I'm enjoying writing this and y'all make it worthwhile :D

Chapter 12 – World's End Part 2

"Oi!"

Rose was startled at the voice as a rock suddenly flew at the creature from somewhere below were she was standing, hitting it squarely between the eyes.

It growled once more, turning its huge head away from her to below.

"Doctor?" Rose called hesitantly.

"Rose, run!" came the Doctor's voice once more, and after a few stunned seconds, she obeyed and began to run.

The creature turned its head back towards her.

"Hey!" the Doctor yelled again, trying to get its attention back. It gave a roar and did so, its baton swinging around in a spin through the staircase where the Doctor was standing. He began to run away, tearing it up the staircase once more as the baton followed him behind. It was rapidly gaining.

Rose was directly opposite the sight of it now, looking down from the railings to see the Doctor in peril. She was terrified as the baton finally reached the Doctor as he disappeared beneath it.

Hand over mouth, she watched as the creature stopped its smashing streak and gave a grunt of satisfaction.

The Doctor however, was pushing himself up from the floor once more, catching the creature's stare of surprise and giving a grin.

"Missed!" he yelled and gave a small dance.

The creature roared aggravation; baton now clutched in one hand as it swung its other hand out and plucked the Doctor straight up off of the floor. Good. He was hoping it would do that. If he could just reached the head…

Rose was almost at the top now, the end in sight. There was a single oaken door set just infront of her, wood polished and shiny, the sight stunning. This was it.

She carried on running.

The Doctor jeered at the creature, implying its lack of brains as he pulled himself out of its loose grip to its arm. It roared once more, lifting the baton again to strike down onto the pest crawling around on its arm. The Doctor ignored the vertigo as he pushed himself to his feet and began to run up its arm, diving for the horns on its pointed head as the baton came striking down.

The creature howled in agony, the heavy baton falling with a loud 'clang' to the floor. The Doctor took the opportunity and pulled himself onto its head one handed, his injured arm already under too much strain.

He ran his right hand over the creature's head, trying to find a slit of a lid somewhere. If this was robotic, there was likely going to be a central mainframe in its head. All he had to do was deactivate it, and then everything would be tickety-boo.

Just as he found a slit, the Doctor dug in his nails and wrenched the lid open wide – but the creature was trying to get him off once more. He felt a sensation of lifting upwards with his right hand deep in the wires inside its head, his left still clinging on for dear life on one of its horns.

They were flying up, he realised, the creature waving its arms about manically, trying desperately to strike him.

"Doctor!!!" came the call in his ear, and he instantly knew they were in danger of stopping Rose from reaching the end of the game.

Rose was staring at him, jaw dropped as if unable to believe what she was seeing. The Doctor…was…sitting on the creature's head? Now she'd seen everything.

"Just a…bit…more…" the Doctor gasped, his upper half fully in the cavity of the creature's head now. Deactivating a giant robot in the dark with one hand and the chance of being thrown off rather erratically was not something he'd been taught to do in the Academy.

This is the moderator. Security breech alert. User: Zender Жemnas.

"Oh bloody hell, that's all we need!" Rose yelled to the skies, stamping her feet angrily over the roar of the creature, still thrashing around. "A madman with a keyboard!"

Fiend duplication mode enabled. Boundary restrictions deactivated. Mode maximised.

The Doctor tweaked the last wire, finally breathing a sigh of relief as the creature went rigid beneath him in mid-swing.

Cobra activated. Spawn enabled. XG97 fiends enabled.

"Doctor…" Rose whispered hoarsely as he made his way carefully along the rigid arm, conveniently extended and pointing towards where Rose was standing. He dropped down next to her, turning his gaze to where she was also looking.

And gulped.

He turned his head, looking also to where their destination was.

He went dead inside.

Zombies, everywhere, as far as the eye could see. Cluster and clusters of zombies appearing from nowhere just limping slowly towards them, arms extended with a mass of groans from rotted lips.

The Doctor ran over to the side of the staircase, leaning over the railing to look at the spiralling stairs they had ascended. Zombies for every inch, pushing to get past each other. Even the floor so far below was filled with bobbing zombie heads, trying to reach their targets – the Doctor and Rose.

They were absolutely and utterly surrounded.

"Now's about time for that secret save-the-day plan of yours…" Rose murmured, backing into him as the zombies got unnervingly closer, barely ten metres from where they stood.

The Doctor rested his hands on her shoulders, turning his gaze back to the advancing zombies.

"Oh, I'll think of one."

Fiend duplication mode enabled. Boundary restrictions deactivated. Mode maximised.

Жemnas grinnedto himself, scratching his bald green head as he continued to type in commands into the computer. If the girl wasn't going to willingly come out the game, he was going to flush her out himself.

Cobra activated. Spawn enabled. XG97 fiends enabled.

Oh, this was satisfying. He watched as the girl suddenly became alert to the code's effects, the Doctor coming back to her as he always did. He'd never done this before…there was something different about her. The Doctor was much more protective of her than he was to any other players.

Жemnas watched them for a few moments more, observing as the Doctor's hands rested on her shoulders. He treated her like…almost like…the true Doctor's companion.

The penny dropped.

This human girl was the Doctor's companion.

He could use her for a sequel no doubt. Gods And Goddesses, he would call it.

If Жemnas were a cartoon character at that precise moment in time, he would have had money signs in his eyes.

Error #324! Alert!

Жemnas' eyes snapped back to the computer sitting infront of him as Amrok also looked up from his desk to see the problem.

Error #324! Alert! Defect simulation mode deactivated!

Жemnas stared unblinkingly at the monitor for a moment as the error registered in his head.

"NO!" he suddenly yelled, jabbing manically at the keyboard to try and reverse the process. It meant wounds were no longer simulated; they had become true in real life. Жemnas' eyes whipped back to the Doctor's monitor and saw the water holding him had clouds of red seeping out from his arm wound. "The Doctor cannot get hurt! Deactivate the zombies immediately!"

Amrok was tapping ineffectually at the controls – the computer freezing him out with the error. He slowly turned him head towards Жemnas, shaking his head by way of apology.

Жemnas' eyes burned with pure undivided fury. "Then what the hell am I paying you for?!"

"I'm sorry sir, we can't do a thing."

Жemnas cried out with rage, giving the keyboard one last smash with his fists before falling dejectedly back in his chair, gaze turning once more back to the zombie ridden game.

He was going to watch his greatest creation being turned to dust.
