A/N: Again my editor/spellchecker is busy so once she edits this I'll put up the grammatically correct version for you grammar Nazis out there. But I couldn't wait for her so for your reading pleasure, enjoy.

As Gear began to tell the Doctor how it all began he made sure to leave out key details to not raise suspicion of who exactly Arora's parents really were. He knew how temperamental the time line was already now that they had began messing with the past.

"The first day I remember was the day they turned my system on." Gear began. "The Daleks compiled me of parts of technology over all of time and space. They took a human brain so that I could register human emotions, something the Daleks hadn't been able to master. All history of my human life was erased and filled with new information and survival skills."

Gear remembered walking down the long metal halls of the Dalek mother ship. He followed the Dalek Over Lord to the cell that contained Arora and her parents. The Dalek Over Lord was human in shape and spoke as if he were one of them. Gear had never actually seen the Over Lords real face. He hid it behind a metal mask with two circles for eyes that seemed to drop into nothingness. The rest of the mask was a smooth silver material. He covered his body in a large black cloak and he wore metal gloves with a point on each finger.

"Rise and shine my dears." The Over Lord said rattling the cell with his fingers. His voice was altered by the mask making him sound even more less humanlike The Doctor hid her behind he and River.

"My sweet Arora, I have brought you a gift." He said putting a metal hand around Gear's shoulder.

"I don't want anything from you! You sick twisted bastard!" She shouted pushing past her parents.

"Easy…" The Doctor said pushing her back. Their hands were chained together with two large circles that had been strongly magnetized together.

"Think of him like a pet." The Over Lord said turning to Gear. "I have filled his head with information about you. He knows your likes, dislikes, you're favorite color. He can even make those little snacks you like. What are they called?" He asked Gear.

"CandyApples." Gear said in an inhumanly emotionless voice.

"Ah, there see?" The Over Lord said as if he were smiling.

"And what exactly is he for?" The Doctor said grinding his teeth.

"Protection of course. He is her security guard. He is going to help us keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't do anything to hurt herself." He leaned in and wrapped his fingers around the cell bars. "We don't want anything to happen to our little pilot now do we?"

He leaned back out and somehow snapped his fingers. The cell doors buzzed and then opened with a grinding sound.

"Now I'm going to need you to follow me." He ordered them. River looked at the Doctor.

"Just do as he says." He said in a grave voice. Tears welled in her eyes. "It's going to be ok." He said kissing her on the lips. She nodded and began leading the way out. They kept Arora in the middle as they shuffled out.

"You don't have to do this." The Doctor said lowly. "You can't trust the Daleks. Once they find a reason to no longer need you they will kill you I promise you that. I've seen it many times. They might have made you what you are but you're not one of them." He said nodding his head at the Over Lord's human like shape.

The Over Lord chuckled.

"We'll see about that." He said pushing them along. He led them to a very large room. Several Daleks waited around a large man shaped platform. It had several straps where the arms and legs would go and sat next to what looked like TARDIS controls. The Over Lord nodded to Gear. He grabbed Arora by the arms and pulled her away from her parents.

"No!" River fought. The Doctor held her back. "You're not touching her! Not while I'm alive!"

"That can easily be arranged." The Over Lord said raising his hand.

"NO!" Arora and the Doctor screamed at the same time. Gear held her back as she screamed and thrashed about. A single beam of light shot from the Over Lord's pointer finger as he held it like a gun as he aimed it straight for River's head. She dropped to the ground lifeless. The beam left no mark but her open dead eyes were more than enough proof.

"MOTHER! LET GO OF ME! MOTHER WAKE UP!" Arora screamed as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Please,miss,thisisakindness. Youwillonlyharmyourselfifyoustruggle." Gear said calmly as she screamed and kicked. The Doctor bent over the body sobbing.

"Now my oldest enemy, time for you." The Over Lord said grabbing him by the arm. He clung to his wife as he was hoisted up.

"Please…" He sobbed. "Let me say goodbye to my daughter…it's the least…it's the least you can do…" he said trying to catch his breath. The Over Lord paused for a moment and then nodded. He and Gear let go at the same time as Arora met the Doctor in the middle. She hugged him tightly as she sobbed.

"Please, don't do this!" She said through her tears. He pulled apart and pressed his head to hers as he took her face in his hands.

"I need you to be brave, Arora." He said sniffling. "Promise me you'll be brave."

Arora nodded as she shook with fear and anger. He pulled her in close for a hug and whispered in her ear.

"You won't let them use their TARDIS." He whispered quickly. "Promise me you'll escape. Please escape!Find the blue box.She'll keep you safe!"

Arora nodded again just as the Doctor was pulled away. Two Cybermen like creatures had him by the arms. Arora chased after him but Gear already had his arms around her waist like an iron bar.

"You like these two beauties?" The Over Lord asked as they strapped the Doctor into the platform. "The Daleks finally managed to kill all the Cybermen in the end. They're a little conversion they made…I rather like it." He said with pride. They strapped the Doctor in to the platform and let it roll back.

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!" She screamed.

"Please, miss,you will only harm yourself. Would you like a sedative to calm you?You're heart rates are very high." Gear said calmly.

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU HEAP OF SCRAP!" She screamed. The Daleks rolled out a large crane looking machine. Arora fell silent as she stared at it in shock. The Over Lord nodded to one of the Daleks and it used its suction arm to activate the machine. It sparked with an electric bluish-green light. It opened up like three claws and centered at the Doctor's shoulders and chest. Arora began screaming as the Doctor cried out in pain. She watched as his soul was extracted and placed into a small box like container. The Doctor's body fell limp and lifeless.

The Over Lord picked up the box and looked it over. The inside of the box was a magnificent gold that changed shades every few seconds. He lifted one of the panels on the dead TARDIS controls. It steamed and hissed as it opened. Slowly he placed the box inside as it set in a small spot built for such a container. As it was placed inside the bottom of the box opened up and spread the Doctor's soul into the TARDIS. The panel closed tightly to be locked forever as the TARDIS controls lit up with life. Arora tried to sense any bit of her father left but she only caught wisps of life. She knew well enough it took hundreds of years to build up as much psychic energy as the TARDIS she knew and loved had. Even then she knew if she had waited a thousand years there was only a slim chance he would even remember who he was. The TARDIS once told her how easy it is to lose who you used to be once your soul was inside. TARDIS souls came from a race that lived along side the Time Lords. Their very being was put into a machine so the Time Lords could travel space and time protecting it. You forget what you were and only live through what connected all of time and space.

Arora slowly fell to the ground as Gear let her go. She sat there with out hope or emotion, just pure shock. A slow throbbing pain pulsated in her right side. She clung her hand to her chest as the world faded black around the edges.

"Her right heart is failing from shock." Gear said quickly as he bent down placing a hand on her right rib cage. Her world faded black as she passed out from pain and loss of her right heart. Gear managed to use the emergency electrical shocks in his hand for such an occasion to restart her heart. He was built to support any situation from heart attack to an allergic reaction to food. The Daleks planned to have Arora fly all over time and space. They didn't want her getting ill from food or possible attack.

Arora lay unconscious on the metal floor as Gear checked her vital signs.

"How is she?" The Over Lord asked bending over the two of them.

"Her right heart has weakened point five percent. I have injected a mild sedative to calm her for now and an injection of Xydomethocide to strengthen her heart walls.She will make a full recovery in six to eight hours." Gear said as he lifted her up.

"Good…" The Over Lord said nodding. "Take her to the room we prepared and keep her there for now."

Gear nodded as he carried her off.

Arora woke to a light throbbing in her right side. The flesh was tender where the electrical shock had gone through. She pulled back the white blanket over top of her as she tried to sit up.

"Please, miss ,remain still." Gear said sitting beside her with a smile.

"Get away from me you metal monster!" She shouted but winced in pain as she strained herself.

"This is a kindness…" Gear said tilting his head to the side curiously and taking her arm. She felt a light prick as his index finger touched her skin.

"What the hell!" She shouted pushing him back.

"I have given you a mild pain reliever.You suffered from a heart attack on you're right heart. I managed to save it with the defibrillator patches located in my hands." He said holding his hands up.

"I don't care what you are! You're still a freak! A big heap of wires and gears!" She screamed as she stood up. Gear looked at her confused.

"I am an Artificial Life Form Issue Number Three.I was built to be your friend. They want you to be happy. " He said blankly.

"You are not my friend! You never could be! You're just a gear to me! A gear in their stupid machine!" She pointed around her at the large elaborate room with white walls, beautiful Victorian furniture and black boarders lining the room. "My parents are dead because of you stupid creatures!" She screamed and threw over a large tray of fresh strawberries sitting at the foot of her bed. She pulled her hand back to her as she winced in pain. Red dripped on the white carpet.

"My sensors detect fresh blood." Gear said standing up. He brought up his forearm as it opened up like doors revealing a metallic inside. A small first aid kit was tucked into his arm. He pulled out a disinfectant and approached her.

"Back off!" She barked. The doors to her beautiful prison opened up causing her to jump. Two Daleks followed by the Over Lord rolled into her room.

"Enjoying the wonders we have built for you?" He asked spreading his arms out. "If not, we can always build it to your liking."

"I'm gonna tell you what you can do with this room!" Arora threatened. The Over Lord chuckled.

"Always the feisty one. I like that about you." He said stepping closer to her. "We only want to make you comfortable. I know you don't like the conditions things are in but perhaps in time…"

Arora backed away from him.

"Perhaps what!" She asked circling him. "Perhaps I'll forget you murdered my family? Perhaps I'll forget I'm prisoner here?"

"OVER LORD…" The side Dalek asked turning to him. "IF THIS TIME LORD CHILD DOES NOT WISH TO CONVERT PERHAPS WE CAN MAKE HER DALEK…"

"Never you horrid beast!" She screamed and aimed her foot at its laser stock. It snapped off and rolled under her bed. "I will never become one of you!"

"Hold up, hold up…" The Doctor stopped gear from telling his story. "You mean to tell me, she kicked a Dalek laser off...with her foot?" He asked in disbelief. Gear nodded.

"Trust me. I might be made of metal, but when she kicks you….she breaks things." He said rubbing his shoulder. It clacked like something was out of place. "Now where was I?" He continued.

"I will never become one of you!" Arora shouted. The Dalek buzzed as it's eye stock spun wildly.

"No! Of course not!" The Over Lord snarled in agreement. "Get him out of here!" He ordered the other Dalek. Together they rolled out of the room and the door sealed shut.

"I wouldn't dream of letting them alter you in the slightest." He said facing her now.

"Just get out…" Arora said in a dead tone.

"Very well…until you see things our way…you will remain here in this room."

"A bit like grounding me, eh?" She said sarcastically. With out another word the Over Lord left the room.

The second the doors shut Arora dove under the bed and grabbed the laser stock.

"What are you doing, miss?" Gear asked only moving his head.

"Never you mind, stupid Gear…" She said dashing to her pillow. She shoved it in her pillow case and piled the others on top of it.

She spent the next six months not eating or speaking. Gear practically forced her to eat and would inject her with food supplements when she wasn't looking. She spent most of her days trying to find a way to kill him but his system had a self repair function. He would calmly sit there telling her it was a bad idea as she dropped her dresser on his head, filled her bathtub up an stuck him in with three lamps, bashed his head with a tray, but nothing worked.

"Perhaps you would like to play a game instead…" Gear said with a smile one day as she was about to drop the leg of her bed on the back of his skull. She lowered her bed and pulled him out. She walked over to her pillow case and eyed up the laser stock.

"I have a game we can play…" Arora said with a devious smile. Gear let out a small sigh of relief. "Let's play open all your compartments."

Obediently Gear closed his eyes. His arms opened revealing his medical supplies. His legs held rope, twine, and other cords. His chest was a series of wires and circuits that made him run. His hand opened up into the rifle of a gun. Arora circled him as she looked for anything useful. As she turned she noticed a small flap on the back of his head that kept making a light buzzing sound as a small door kept trying to open.

"What is that bit?" She asked dragging her finger over the small crack of light bursting out of it.

"That is my compliance chip." He said with his arms still spread out.

"Why won't it open?" she asked prying her finger nail at it.

"You broke it…when you hit it with your dinner tray two months ago." It always creeped her out when he spoke about her abusing him. It wasn't normal how much he couldn't feel pain. She moved back to the gun in his hand. His hand bent open half way to reveal a barrel.

"I think this will do quite nicely." She said with nod and took a screwdriver from his leg.

She spent the next six months compiling a gun in secret. The Over Lord visited her once a day to ask her if she changed her mind, but other than that the only security she had was Gear.

Finally after exactly twelve months the Over Lord opened her door accompanied by two Daleks.

"Hello." He said as if he were smiling. "Have you considered my offer yet?" He said the exact thing every day. It was always 'Hello, have you considered my offer yet?' and then he'd tell her about how beautiful the outside world was, and she always remained silent.

"I hear its spring in Florana. You could take a dip in the oceans of effervescent." He said temptingly.

"You and I both know we're sitting in nothingness at the end of time and space." Arora said dully.

"Yes but if you and I take the TARDIS out for a spin we could make it just in time to see the flowers blooming."

"You know my answer…" Arora said calmly. Gear stood beside her with his usual expressionless gaze.

"Yes I wanted to talk to you about that…" He said looking at the Daleks slightly. "They're growing a bit testy. I'm trying to hold them off but…I can only do that for so long…they want to make you one of them."

"Tell them no!" Arora snarled. The Dalek to the Over Lord's right raised it's eye stock to her.

"EITHER YOU CONVERT OR YOU'RE TIME LORD EXISTANCE SHALL BE EXTERMINATED!" it shouted.

"Now, now boys." The Over Lord protested.

"NO! WE HAVE WAITED UNDER YOUR COMAND LONG ENOUGH!" It said facing him. "YOU HAVE PROVIDED US WITH ORDERS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TIME BEING BUT WE WANT ACTION!"

"What are you saying!" He shouted at them. "I have been your leader for over five years!"

"AND IT IS TIME FOR A NEW LEADER!" The other shouted.

"You can't do this!" He screamed. The Dalek pointed it's laser at him. "Stop! You don't know what you are doing!"

Arora screamed as a shot of energy passed through the Over Lord. He cried out in pain and fell to the floor and turned to dust.

"You killed him!" She shouted at them. "He was your leader and you killed him!"

"WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO, TO CONTINUE AS PLANNED! YOU WILL BE CONVERTED TO A DALEK SHORTLY!" It said turning to leave. The door shut behind them as Arora stood there in shock. Her eyes fell to the pile of dust darkening her white carpet floors.

"We have to do something!" Arora shouted at Gear. "They're going to kill me! You have to help me escape! That's what you're built for right? To protect me?"

Gears eyes stared straight forward.

"My job is to protect, however my compliance chip prevents me from disobeying the Dalek Over Lord." He said as if he were reading from a paper.

"You're Over Lord is dead! They killed him! They're going to kill me to if you don't help me escape!" She shouted in his face.

"My job is to protect ,however,"

"I get it!" Arora screamed and ran for the gun and screwdriver in her bed. "You say this chip is in your head right?" she asked running to him and examining theof his light blonde hair.

"Yes but the hinge is broken." He said.

"Open back head compartment." She commanded.

"But the hinge is broken." He repeated.

"Just open it!" She ordered. He closed his eyes and attempted to open. Again it made the same grinding sound as before as the door kept trying to open. Arora jammed the screwdriver in the seam of the door.

"Please, miss, I would suggest against this." He said as she grunted, putting all her weight into it.

"Oh shut up ya stupid…mmph…" With a light pop the door sprang open.

"Please, miss, I would suggest against this..." he repeated. As the door sprang open it revealed a large bluish-green object that resembled a short fat bolt made of glass. The light lit up her face as she stared at it. She began prying it out with her screwdriver.

"Please, miss…I don't think you should…" As she worked prying it out his voice kept switching from his normal non-human voice to a deeper normal tone. "I really don't thing you should…ahh…" His mouth hung open as sound emitted from it like a radio being tuned.

"GOT IT!" Arora shouted holding the chip in her hand. The light in it faded as she held it. It felt warm but like it were made of glass.

"Ah! Bloody hell!" Gear said closing the flaps on the back of his head. "That hurt!" He shouted at her.

"Don't be stupid you can't feel pain." Arora said tossing the chip over her shoulder and grabbing her gun.

"No but it felt weird." He said shaking his head.

"Ok so you have the chip out, can you help me escape?" She asked turning to him with her gun in hand. He eyed up the gun.

"What are you gonna do to me if I say no?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Arora shrugged casually.

"Shoot you."

Gear nodded.

"Right…well my chip is out but I'm still hardwired to be your body guard…so yes. I'll help you." He said placing a finger on top of the gun pushing it down. "Just…point that thing away from me."

The doors opened and two Daleks emerged.

"Well if there was any time to escape, now'd be it!" Arora said pointing the gun at the Daleks and firing away. It blasted them on their sides before they could even get a word out.

"Woah! This thing packs a punch…I like it." Arora said with a grin.

"It's very pretty, now lets move!" Gear said taking her by the hand and leading her out.

"They didn't get a chance to sound any alarm but someone will have noticed they're gone." Gear said as they ran.

"My father said the TARDIS was in here. We can use that to escape!" She shouted looking behind her. This was the first time she had actually left the room in over a year. It felt good to run. She looked back grinning.

"It's on the third floor!" He said stopping at an elevator like set of doors. He pressed the button and the doors opened. They rushed inside just as a loud alarm sounded. Red lights flashed down the halls. The elevator dropped to the third floor. They opened up to a long hall. At the end it was darkly lit but she could make out the beautiful blue box. Two Dalek guards stopped them in their path. Without hesitation Arora fired again. They ran past the heaps of useless metal and down the hall. Arora met the blue box with a smile. She ran her hands along its soft blue door.

"Hello, old gal." She said eyeing up the windows. The small light on the top light up dimly. The doors opened to her and they ran inside. The lights flickered on like florescent bulbs.

"How are you doing old thing?" she said stroking the controls. "What do you say we get out of here?"

The heart began moving up and down as it began to vanish from the ship. It rocked a little here and there causing them to have to hold on to the railing.

"Is it supposed to do that?" Gear asked hanging on.

"No! She was damaged when they captured her, plus she hasn't run in over a year!" Arora shouted as the grinding got louder. Suddenly the TARDIS spun to the side causing them to fly against the wall. The TARDIS filled with smoke and then shut down completely.

"Have we landed?" Gear asked. Arora lifted herself up so she was standing on one of the walls.

"I'm not sure." She coughed. She crawled for the door and opened it coughing still. She poked her head out only to find both her hearts skipping a beat.

"Where are we?" Gear shouted to her from inside. She looked up to see the Dalek Over Lord standing only a few feet from her.

"How can you be here?" He asked in shock staring at the blue box. Arora turned to see it on its side. "Three years looking for you and…you just pop up on my door step."

"Where are we?" Gear shouted again from inside.

"Two years ago…on the Dalek Mother Ship…." She shouted keeping her eyes on the Over Lord. "So…you haven't caught us yet?"

He shook his head.

"But I have you now. Don't I?" He said reaching out to her. She felt something hard grab her from around her waist. She was ripped back inside the TARDIS and the doors locked shut.

"Put this over your mouth!" Gear ordered handing her a small mask. She could hear the Over Lord shouting and banging on the outside.

"FIND HER! DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!" They could hear his scream. Gear carried Arora to the controls and hung on as she punched in coordinates. The TARDIS vanished again from the Over Lord's grasp.

They finally landed again with a loud bang but they were at least facing up. Arora coughed and wheezed as they emptied out into the Nevada dessert. Arora caught her breath as she leaned into the TARDIS. She felt Gear's cold fake flesh hand press to her skin.

"Breath this in." He said holding a plastic device to her mouth. "It's oxygen. It'll help."

With out questioning she held it to her nose and mouth, breathing in heavily.

"I suppose…I should thank you." She said between breaths.

"You should…but you won't." Gear said raising his eyebrows. "In about ten seconds you're going to pull out that nasty gun and shoot me, aren't you?"

Arora was silent. It was exactly what she was going to do.

"I can't trust you…You're Dalek machinery." She said taking a deep breath in.

"True…I'm Dalek machinery…but…I'm also the only one that knows who and what you are, knows exactly how to treat you in any medical emergency, and you took out my chip so I can kill any one of those metal trash cans I want….at least I could if you hadn't taken the gun out of my hand!"

"It helped us escape didn't it?" She laughed. Gear nodded with a chuckle.

"I'll give you that."

Arora paused for a few minutes thinking it over.

"You can't exactly fly the TARDIS all alone…" Gear said persuasively. Arora rolled her eyes.

"Fine!" She said putting down the mask. "But any slip up, any hint you're going to turn me in to them and I will shoot you, I swear!"

Gear put out his hand for her to shake. She looked at it and then to him.

"Don't do that…" she said turning away from him and opening up the TARDIS doors to let it air out.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Pretend to be human…" She said coldly and stepped in.
