I haven't updated this story in forever! Blame college. Anyway, I'm home now on Christmas break and wanted to work on one of my old stories. This is the one I picked. Hope you like this next part.

Disclaimer: I own no part of Doctor Who. Never have and most likely never will.

River put her arm over her face to protect it and felt around with her other hand quickly for something to defend herself. A board, a stone or maybe a piece of pipe. A piece of pipe exactly like the one she had been looking for came flying out of nowhere and smashed the upraised arm of the statue to pieces. As the statue staggered back from the blow, a man in a brown suit holding a piece of pipe came beside her and offered his hand.

"Alright there?"

River nodded and grabbed his hand and he helped her up.

"Good," said the man looking as the statue regained its balance. "Because it's time to run." And he dragged her off, still holding her hand with the statue in close pursuit.

They blasted through the double doors of the large artifact storage and slammed the doors shut. The man pulled out a pen-shaped device out of his pocket and shined a blue light on the door.

"How's that going to help?" asked River.

"It's not but it will buy us some time to plan," said the man as the statue slammed into the other side of the door.

"I'm kinda short on ideas right now," said River as the door took another crushing hit.

"If only we had some sort of speaker, like from a radio, a stereo, a….."

"Will this do?" She offered her radio.

"Oh yes." He grabbed it and pressed himself against the wall beside the door and motioned for River to do the same.

"You may want to cover your ears," warned the man. He then put the end of his pen device against the speaker of the radio. River obeyed. She had no idea who this person was but he was at least trying to help her, not kill her.

The door finally gave way under the statue's assault and it burst through just as the man activated his device.

The radio gave off a horrible, loud sound. The statue froze, shook a bit then shattered into hundreds of thousands of pieces.

River slowly uncovered her ears. She looked at the dust that had once been attacking her and then at the man. "What just happened and who are you?"she demanded.

"That," he pointed to the dust, "just tried to kill you and …I'm the Doctor." And with that the man ran into the large artifacts room.

River was so confused and hadn't gotten the answer she wanted so she followed the man in just in time to see the blue police box disappear. River stared at the empty space for a while until her radio crackled.

"River! River! It's Joe! Are you alright?"

River picked up the radio from the floor by the door and pressed the answer.

"I'm alright Joe. It's all clear down here"

"Did you find out what that engine noise was?"

River looked at the mess around her and made a quick decision.

"No. No sign of anything."

"Huh. It's gone now. I guess we'll never know. See you in the main lobby?"

"Sure. Just give me a few minutes. I got to clean up a few things down here."

No one needed to know what had happened down here tonight, thought River. Besides, I don't think anyone would believe me. With that, she went to find a broom and maybe, if she was lucky, sledge hammer to fix some of the dents in that door.

Please review. No flames. Maybe if I get more reviews, I will find some motivation to write more of this story and/or my other stories!
