Here's Chapter Eight. I don't own Maximum Ride OR Doctor Who (Yet). Thanks for the reviews so far!
Maximum Ride: The Time Lord
Chapter 08: Back to School
(Not Max's POV / UNIT HQ)
"Max is gone!" The Doctor smacked himself in the forehead repeatedly. "I knew this wouldn't work."
"Doctor," Iggy replied, "Don't beat yourself up over it. We've got to go after her. You've got your TARDIS."
"Hey, I never realised," The Doctor, said sarcastically. "I know where the Cybermen are taking her. The School. She's going back to the School. That's were everybody is being taken to… to be upgraded."
"What are they being upgraded into, Doctor?" asked Martha, appearing at the door, with Mickey, and Sarah Jane.
"Cybermen," Mickey said before the Doctor. "Back when I was on the parallel world, I saw factories, converting them into Cybermen. I'm sorry, Doctor. Max is as good as dead."
"You mean… those Cybermen are us?" asked Iggy.
"Yes. Cybermen were humans. They remove the brain and place it in a metal suit of armour," The Doctor frowned, as screams echoed down the corridor. "Sarah Jane – what about Luke. Is he okay?"
"Yes. I got him, Clyde and Maria to stay inside my house. Mr Smith and K-9 will protect them," she replied.
"Who's Clyde and Maria?" The Doctor asked.
"His friends," said Sarah Jane.
"Now then," said The Doctor, opening the door of the TARDIS. "Allons-y!"
"It's just like old times, isn't it Doctor?" asked Mickey, as the TARDIS door closed behind them, and it vanished from view outside.
"Yeah," said The Doctor. "Ladies and Gentlemen – we're going back to School!" he yelled excitedly, pushing a button down on the TARDIS console, and ramming it forward.
"You mean, the bad evil maniac scientist version, right Doctor?" asked Fang.
"Yes, oh yes. We're going to bust everybody out. The Cybermen's reign of terror is over," laughed The Doctor, looking at Fang. "It looks like we're here."
Sarah Jane opened the door, and then quickly closed it again. "Cybermen just walked past. Carrying Max."
"So, what are we waiting for?" asked Martha.
"Iggy! Got any more bombs?" The Doctor asked him. Iggy revealed ten. Everyone had no idea were he was keeping them.
"Ten?" asked Sarah Jane. "How can he have ten?"
"There's Cybermen outside," Mickey warned, looking at the screen. "One of those bombs might come in handy, now, Iggy."
"Bombs away!" Iggy yelled, throwing a bomb outside the TARDIS door, before closing it to hear a massive explosion. "That was so awesome!"
The Doctor opened the door to see a tangled mess of what had been Six Cybermen.
"Come on guys, it's okay," he said, stepping over the body. "Just be careful though."
They turned around the corner, and failed to notice the Security Camera zooming in.

(Elsewhere in the School)
Ter Borcht looked at the camera, and smiled. The Doctor had arrived, and had brought the final two Flock members. A pity Max didn't remember who he was.
"Zi zill zinally crush you," Ter Borcht cackled, walking towards Maximum and his other prisoners.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Maximum replied, her arms and feet chained to the wall, next to The boy called The Gasman, and the two other girls known as Nudge and Angel. "I've never met you before."
"Yes, you have, Max. We've all met him before," said Nudge. "He's the guy who Gazzy used to take the mick out of, remember."
"Zi will now destroy zuh znickers bars!" cackled The Gasman, in a perfectly good imitation of Ter Borcht. Angel and Nudge laughed, however Maximum frowned.
"I don't know what you're talking about," repeated Maximum.
"It's a pity," Ter Borcht leaned closer to Maximum, gripping the edge of her tee shirt. "Zuch za shame that you don't zemember zho you are. Zypical Maximum. Zypical Maximum Ride."
"Zypical?" Maximum asked, looking away from Ter Borcht, and he let go. "Oh great. We're being killed by somebody who can't even speak in English."
"Zou zill suffer for zat insult," Ter Borcht snapped. "Zas zill you, The Gasman."
He leaned over to the Gasman, who frowned. "That isn't a wise place to be standing."
"Zhy?" asked Ter Borcht, frowning.
"You don't know why I'm called The Gasman do you?" asked The Gasman, refraining himself from roaring with laughter.
"No. Zhy zis zat?" asked Ter Borcht, and then, as The Gasman let rip, he held his hand to his neck, and dropped to the floor.
"That is why they call me The Gasman," he laughed. "Now, Angel? Did you see in his mind where the keys for the chains are?"
"Left suit pocket," Angel replied, smiling.
"And, excuse me," Maximum put in. "But how are we going to get them out of there?"
"Yeah… that bit I haven't thought about, yet." The Gasman murmured, looking down at Max, shyly.
