Sorry. Late update. I'm just very busy at school. It's up now though. That's what counts!
"Doctor" River said, immediately ruining his plan. "you can't just dive head first into a nest of cybermen. You need a plan."
"What makes you think I didn't have a plan?" Eleventh Doctor asked
"You finished talking." He looked around sheepishly .
"Yeah, I don't have a plan."
"Are you always this bloody useless?" Rose asked, finally returning from her trip to the wardrobe.
"Are you always this bloody rude?" River asked. Rose's mouth fell open. "All the Doctor's done for you this whole day is treat you nice and tried to help you! how do you respond to this kindness? You insult him every chance you get!
"River!" Eleventh Doctor hissed.
"What? It's true!"
"No! Not that! Come here!" confused River stood next to him. The Eleventh Doctor pointed to the screen.
"Is that- noooo! It can't be!"
"It is. I triple checked."
"What is it?" the Tenth Doctor asked already walking towards them.
"OP! Sorry! Already got rid of the screen!" Eleventh Doctor said. Tenth Doctor looked at him weirdly. "But, hey! Why don't we give Amy a call!" he started typing in the numbers to dial before he even got an answer from anyone. After two rings Amy picked up.
"Doctor? Is that really you?" she said.
"The one and only!" Tenth Doctor recoiled as if someone had slapped him. "Well-" Eleventh Doctor quickly said trying make amends. "one of two..."
"Doctor, it's been days! What took you so long?"
"We just landed. We may have jumped a couple days. The point is our energy source is still lit up and well. So we can come back! But we only have 24 hours until it dries out. So! I need you to work fast! Get everyone to go with the cybermen! They won't convert them. Not yet, at least. As for you two, don't get caught by them. I know, I know. I just told you to make sure everyone else went with them, but if you two ever get even close to being taken by them use the sonic. It will temporarily disable them and you can get to a safe place. Just trust me, it's part of the plan-"
"So there is a plan..." River said.
"Maybe." The Eleventh Doctor turned back to his phone. "You got all that, Amy?"
"Yeah. I got it. Just one question, what happens if the cybermen get us?"
"If they get you, don't fight. Just go with them. If you fight, they'll delete you. But use the sonic and you should be fine-"
"Should?" Rory cut in.
"That's the best I can do. Now, this TARDIS doesn't have enough power to make another call. If you have any other questions ask them now."
"What happens if you stay longer than 24 hours?" Amy asked.
"Then we stay here forever."
"But you've seen the future River. You couldn't have seen the future River if she's stuck there. So you'll get out, right?" Rory asked.
"Rory, you of all people should know that time can be re-written."
"You take care of my daughter, Doctor" Amy said. Before he could answer the phone disconnected.
"Okay, Doctor, the energy source please" The Tenth Doctor just stared at him.
"Rose doesn't really trust you. She thinks you'll leave. So... she wants to keep it until our little cyberman problem is fixed..." Tenth Doctor said.
"You don't trust him? He's you!" River said.
"River, leave it. It doesn't matter. We'll get back. Now, about my plan-"
"I hope it's not just to jump into the cybermen nest, I suggest you re-evaluate your options" Rose said.
"Well, sort of. I was thinking we get into the preacher's van, get some cybermen weapons and force our way into the emotions control unit."
"'Cause we hadn't thought of that before."
"Yes, but now you have two Timelords who can regenerate and keep you out of trouble. So let's go!" Rose and the Tenth Doctor exchanged glances before getting up and opening the door of the TARDIS. They looked around and waited for a safe time to dash out. River approached the Eleventh Doctor.
"Two Timelords who can regenerate, huh?" she asked him.
"Rule number one" The Eleventh Doctor whispered.
"What are you hiding?"
"Spoilers."
"Doctor?" Amy called as the phone line disconnected. "DOCTOR!"
"Amy. We have a job to do now" Rory said.
"Right. Yes. Our hypocritical job. Tell everyone to join with the bad guys because that's where it is safe while we stay here in the TARDIS where it is actually safe."
"Just trust the Doctor. He knows what he's doing." Amy sighed and then nodded.
Rory pushed the doors open slightly and looked around.
"The streets are empty" he said surprised. And then they heard the screams and the march of the cybermen. Rory and Amy ran out and stood in the streets. They saw the group of screaming people approach them
"What are you doing?"one of the women said. "run!" Amy and Rory exchanged glances.
"Listen, we'll give you a thirty second head start. If you run into them again, don't argue, don't fight. Just go with them. Tell everyone you know. If you want to live, stay with them. If you run they will kill you. do you understand?" Rory said. The woman stared at them confused but then nodded. Rory then pushed the sonic and all the cybermen froze. They then followed the group of people.
They arrived in a hotel lobby where majority of the city was staying. Everyone was yelling at everyone, desperate for an escape. Rory stood up on a table.
"EVERYONE QUIET!" he yelled. The room slowly hushed and they all turned to Rory. "Listen to me. These creatures are called Cybermen. At the moment the safest thing for us to do is let them take us-"
"Are you mad?" a man said immediately. "They've killed about half the city!"
"Only because you're resisting them" Amy said joining her husband on the table. "Their Cyberleader is destroyed so they'll only attack if you resist them. So... don't resist them."
"This is just ridiculous! You're absolutely mad-"
"YOU WILL BECOME LIKE US! OR YOU WILL BE DELETED!" the cybermen crashed through the doors. Everyone started panicking, running around and screaming.
"Don't resist them!" Amy yelled. "Just go with them! They won't hurt you if you don't resist!"
"They're not listening..." Rory muttered.
"Use the sonic. It's the only way to save them." Rory debated this idea. He looked at the sonic and then at the crowd of people.
"It needs to charge up again." He said. Amy looked around searching for inspiration. "DON'T RESIST THEM!" Rory yelled running out of ideas.
"Don't touch me!" the man said.
"YOU WILL BE LIKE US! OR YOU WILL BE DELETED!"
"I said don't touch me!"
"YOU WILL BE DELETED!" the cyberman grabbed his arm and just like that he was deleted. The crowd of people screamed and started to run in all directions.
"Don't you people learn anything?" Amy yelled. "Stop resisting! Just stay with them and live!"
"Amy, incoming!" Amy turned around and saw a cyberman walking towards them. The two of them slipped out the back. They took one last look at the place just in time to see the crowd of people finally learn their lesson and follow the cybermen out the door. "Back to the TARDIS?" Rory asked.
"Back to the TARDIS" Amy quickly agreed. They ran together through the streets. The TARDIS was in sight and they were safe. They turned the corner and saw an army of cybermen. They quickly turned and ended up skidding on the floor almost tripping on nothing. Rory grabbed Amy's hand and pulled her along with him.
"Rory! The sonic!"
"Not yet! It's not ready yet!"
The two of them ran round the block and found themselves back at the corner by the TARDIS. Rory looked at the sonic then at Amy.
"Stay here" he whispered. "I'll check if it's safe. stay. Here." Amy wanted to protest but realized the best option would probably be to listen so she stood where she was while Rory started walking towards the TARDIS. He was just a few steps away from it. He pushed the door open and made a clear passageway for Amy to run through. He was about to call for her when he heard the screams.
"RORY!" Amy shrieked. The cybermen had sneaked up behind her and were dragging her away. "RORY THE SONIC!" she screamed knowing that she couldn't resist the cybermen unless she wanted to die. Rory pushed every button on the sonic but nothing worked. So instead he ran up to Amy and held her hand.
"What are you doing?" Amy whispered. "What about the sonic? Or the TARDIS? Or saving yourself?"
"Honestly? You think that's what I care about?" Amy squeezed his hand and they smiled at each other, ready to face anything.
