Chapter 8: The Final Battle part 1

"So this is the inside of the magic blue box I was cheated out of." Rumplestiltskin remarked.

"Not now Dark One. We've got bigger problems to deal with. We've got almost no time to make a plan and win this fight." The Doctor said.

"Well I'm not finished with you dearie. When this battle is over, I will be getting my box." Rumple replied.

They all stood there in silence for the rest of the way. Meanwhile back at Snow White's castle, the magic force field set up by Regina and the Blue fairy was getting weaker. The Sontarans would blast their way through, invade the castle, and kill everyone in a matter of minutes. The various fairy tale creatures inside were panicking. Yet their screams were silenced by the sound of the magic blue box materializing in Snow's grand hall, the most spacious room in the castle. The Doctor and Clara stepped out. Everyone was staring at them. Snow White, Prince Charming, Regina, Red, The Blue Fairy, Jiminy Cricket, the seven dwarves, and Snow's guards were all staring at the Doctor and Clara wondering if Rumplestiltskin would step out also. When he did, they all internally half-cheered. That is, they all sighed in relief. They were happy that he was going to help save them, but the Dark One had a bad reputation in the Enchanted Forest.

"Alright. Now what do we do?" Regina asked in a demanding demeanor. She wanted an answer.

"We're sticking with the old plan." The Doctor responded. "We'll surprise them."

The sounds of screaming Sontarans could be heard very easily by everyone in the castle.

"We have mere minutes before they break through." Red said.

"Well it just so happens that I have a plan." Rumplestiltskin said. "We can still use the element of surprise. I'll use an invisibility spell to turn us all invisible so that we can surprise them, but you must stay completely still. If you move, the spell will break. Regina and I will use magic to destroy probably most of them."

"Let's use the fire spell." Regina interrupted. "Those little monsters destroyed my home. I want to see them burn."

Rumplestiltskin spoke again. "That's the kind of passion you all need if we're going to beat the Sontarans. Oh and Red dearie," He said turning towards her. "it's a full moon tonight. You'd better take advantage of it."

The sky was getting dark and the moon was almost out. She'd be a wolf by the time the Sontarans finally attacked.

"Blue," the Dark One continued addressing the Blue Fairy. "You're the most powerful fairy in the land. Use some of that power. Dwarves, use your axes. Snow White and Charming, the past few years of your running from Regina have turned you into skilled warriors. Use your weapons and strengths. Together we will win this."

"What do we do?" The Doctor asked implying about himself, Clara, and Jiminy Cricket.

"You will wait in the magic blue box until the Sontarans have been defeated. You need to be able to disappear if necessary. They've already got the red diamond. The last thing we need is a way for the Sontarans to access the blue diamond." Rumple said.

"Well where's the blue diamond?" Regina asked.

"On a far away world." The Dark One said.

"Which world?" Regina asked.

"It has no official name. Now can we please get back to the business at hand?" Rumple replied.

"No." Regina sassed. "The Sontarans knew where to find the red diamond. What if they know where to find the blue diamond as well? We need to be able to secure it. Better yet we can use it. The red diamond against the blue diamond would be an intense battle and we actually know how to use magic. We can stop them."

"It's too risky dearie." Rumple said.

"Where is it?" Regina shouted.

"Some people call it Pete's World, but most people know it better as the birthplace of the Cybermen. It's on a far away world called Pete's World. I nearly blew up the universe when I sent it there. So I doubt that there's any way you can get it." Rumple sassed back.

"You can't go there." The Doctor said.

"Why not?" Regina asked.

"It's on a parallel world in a different universe. The magic blue box can't take you there. Believe me I've tried." The Doctor responded.

"You seem to know a lot about this world." Regina remarked. To the Doctor

"I've been there a few times. Pete's World isn't even its official name. I gave it that name because of a man who lives there named Pete." The Doctor said.

"No there's more to it than that. I can tell you have a connection to this world." Regina said.

"I lost someone there. Someone that I lo…cared about. She's gone now and she's happy and I can never see her again because that world is completely cut off from this world." The Doctor said.

"Woah." Clara said. "You've never said anything about that before."

"It's a story for another time." The Doctor remarked.

Suddenly, they all heard a large explosion followed by laser blasts and screams.

"It's the Sontarans." Snow said. "They're here."

"Alright. Everyone get to the walls and be quiet. Doctor, Clara, and Cricket, get in the box."

They did as he said. They backed up to the walls and stood there and the Doctor, Clara, and Jiminy went to the TARDIS. They all stood there waiting as a small army of Sontarans made their way towards the grand hall. Rumple cast a spell and everyone in the room became invisible. Not from their perspective however. They could all see each other, but the Sontarans wouldn't be able to see them.

The Sontarans barged in, but with no visible targets to kill, they jut kept marching. The Doctor, Clara, and Jiminy watched quietly from inside the magic blue box.

"Now!" The Dark One shouted.

Immediately, Rumplestiltskin and Regina became visible and shot fire from their hands. They burned the first fifty Sontarans to death almost instantaneously. The fire soon spread. However, since this was magic fire, Rumplestiltskin and Regina could control it and use it to burn more Sontarans. By this time, Red had transformed into a large, powerful wolf and she stacked the Sontarans so fast that they barely had time to turn around and fight. The Blue Fairy also became visible and used her magic to reduce some Sontarans to dust. They Sontarans fired at her, but her small size made it hard for them to hit her and easier for her to dodge.

Snow White joined the battle with her arrows. She shot at least ten of them dead. Prince Charming and the dwarves also fought. The dwarves were able to use their powerful axes and agility to swiftly kill a Sontaran in one blow. Charming used his sword to fight and kill Sontarans as well.

The Doctor watched in horror as Snow's castle was turned into a battleground of Sontaran death. Eventually the fighting stopped. All the Sontarans were dead and the Enchanted Forest was victorious. However, their moment of triumph was short lived. Suddenly, a red aura surrounded everyone in the great hall. They were literally growing red.

"What's happening?" Regina yelled.

"I don't know." Rumplestiltskin replied.

They all started levitating. They kept going higher and higher until they reached the ceiling that was thirty feet off the ground. Then, Sontaran commander Kug walked in holding the red diamond.

"Well. It seems you've destroyed my men. I congratulate you all on your battling skills. However, you will not win the war. You see I have the red diamond and," Kug reached in his pocket and pulled something out. "I have the dimension jumper." It was a small yellow disk surrounded by gray metal with small buttons.

"What's he doing?" Grumpy the dwarf asked.

"He's using the red diamond to levitate us." Regina replied.

"Excellent perception." Kug replied. "I can use this diamond to do anything I want to you. But lucky for you, I have more important matters to attend to. This world will be conquered for the glory of Sontar and you will not be in the way."

Everyone floating in the air now dropped thirty feet and hit the ground hard. No one died, but they were all badly wounded. Kug closed his eyes. He concentrated. When they opened again, his entire eyeballs were glowing bright red. Then, after waving the diamond around in a circle, gray smoke appeared out of nowhere and consumed the bodies of everyone on the ground. Within seconds, Snow White, Prince Charming, The Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin, Red Riding Hood, The Blue Fairy, the dwarves, and Snow's guards were all turned to stone.

"Perfect." Kug muttered and then sprinted outside to bring the rest of the Sontaran army to the Enchanted Forest.

The Doctor, Clara, and Jiminy watched horrified from inside the TARDIS.

"Doctor we've got to stop him!" Clara shrieked.

"I agree." The Doctor said.

They both ran outside to catch up with Kug. Neither of them realized that they left Jiminy in the TARDIS. Since, he was a cricket, he lacked the ability to open the TARDIS doors.

They ran after Kug. Clara stopped to pick up a laser gun from one of the dead Sontarans in case she needed it. Killing wasn't the Doctor's style, but Kug was the only one standing in the way of an entire fleet of huge Sontaran ships from entering the Enchanted Forest and slaughtering everyone. Surely the Doctor would forgive her if she had to kill him. Not that killing him was what Clara wanted to do. She was just willing to do whatever it takes to save this world. The Doctor always offered the enemy a choice. She had to respect that. It was one of his qualities that she found attractive, but she didn't have time to think about that now. They had a world to save.

They soon caught up with Kug. He was just standing there on the castle steps watching the sky with the red diamond in his left hand and the dimension jumper in his right hand.

"I was just watching the peaceful forest before it's converted to a fiery wasteland." Kug said.

"Please you don't have to do this." The Doctor said.

"Yes I do. Regina made fools of us when she kidnapped three of our own. We have to teach this planet a lesson so that others know what will happen when they challenge Sontar."

Kug raised the red diamond and the dimension jumper. He slowly moved them closer together, but not quite touching.

"I gladly give my body for the glory of Sontar. Let the battle commence!" he yelled.

Then, what happened next was unthinkable. Kug touched the red diamond and the dimension jumper together. Then all hell broke loose. Kug's entire body glowed bright red. His body then became a bright beam of red light that shot straight up into the atmosphere. It was a huge beam of pure light energy that started on the ground at Snow's castle and continued on into the sky. Next, while the beam was still shooting from the ground into the sky, a large portal the size of New York City started to open around the beam. Within seconds, hundreds of large Sontaran battleships flooded into the Enchanted Forest. Each ship was massive and contained thousands of Sontarans onboard each one. Each ship contained powerful lasers as well. The ships started to shoot their large powerful lasers down on the forest. Fire and explosions dominated the kingdom. Fire rained on the Enchanted Forest and the Doctor and Clara just stood there and watched helplessly.
