Sarah Jane Smith Adventure X Doctor Who Crossover

Lost Ones

Part Two

The Tardis hummed in her usual tone as the Doctor walked around her controls, Clara sat by the chalkboard reading a book on Shakespeare. The Timelord would glance over at his young companion from time to time with a content smile across his face, their friendship has grown stronger over the years. He would even bellow out a joke or two, while Clara would claim them to be very bad he found them to be a work in progress.

The Tardis jerk harshly as the Doctor laid his hand across his chest. His two hearts were racing as he took a few deep breaths that's when he felt it...a sudden change in time. Clara closed her book and look over at The Doctor, she had a strange feeling something so she set down the book and walked over to him.

"Are you okay Doctor?" Clara asked.

He looked over to his companion trying to recover from the shock; Clara helped him sit down as the Tardis hummed sadly.

"Something is wrong…it's as if time is being changed." The Doctor said.

Before Clara could say a word she could hear a strange song playing it's sounded so calm and reassuring. Her eyes grew sleepy as she felt herself wander away from the Doctor but she shook it off. The Doctor looked took a hold of her hand Clara's eyes looked back down at The Doctor's.

"What is it?" The timelord asked.

"I…hear something so calm it's…so hard to resist . " Clara said getting lost in her trance again.

The Doctor jumped up he pushed various buttons to scan Clara, as he turned back around a purple mist formed around her. His eyes widen in panic as the Tardis hummed loudly in pain as Clara walked toward the doors.

"No! " The doctor screamed.

The moment he touched his companion he was thrown back by a strange purple force. As the Tardis doors opened a dark purple portal welcomed Clara. The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver he aimed it at the strange portal turning it up to full blast with the Tardis help it interrupted the mist for just a few seconds before Clara disappeared into the portal.

The Tardis hummed loudly in pain at the strain as she began to fell through space and time. Getting thrown all over the place The Doctor managed to reach the controls he set the coordinates and the Tardis hummed in agreement.

The Tardis dematerialized with a thud the doors opened and the Doctor walked out, he expected to be greeted with fresh smelling flowers and green grass, yet he was welcomed with dead flowers and yellow patched dead grass instead. He looked to the patio it was dirty it look it hadn't been clean in a while. Was he in the right place but something was wrong perhaps he wasn't the only one dealing this problem.

As he entered the house through the kitchen he noticed how clean it was but there was a layer of dust over everything from lack of use. In the living room everything was untouched as well from the TV over to the stairs everything was in place. The knickknacks along with the medium flat screen TV also had a layer of dust on it as well. The Doctor grew worried as he walked up the stairs to the attic.

The Doctor stopped when he heard voices from behind the attic door. While he was relieved to hear a live voice he was also cautious. The Doctor used his sonic on the door,even though it was barely working it managed to muster up enough energy to break the force field over the door. With a deep breath the Timelord opened the door and walked in.

Inside The Doctor glanced over the room, the smell was the first thing that welcomed him. Next was the various pieces of papers on the floor. He spotted a newspaper and picked it up looking over the head line his suspicions were confirmed, someone or something is taking people hostage but why?

Before The Doctor could think any more on the subject someone walked passed him. They walked over to the supercomputer and looked at the screen. He looked over at Mr. Smith and he tilted his head in confusion, when he saw a large number on the screen. After a few seconds the number would increase it was currently at 60,009. As he moved closer he noticed the words global disappearances at the top. His eyes then traveled down to a woman mumbling to herself, her clothes looked a few days old and the odor coming from her caused the doctor to turn his head away in disgust.

"Sarah Jane we have a visitor." The supercomputer bellowed.

The woman turned around and all the Doctor could do is stand there in shock; there stood his old friend with heavy bags under her eyes. Her complexion was a bit paler than he remembered and it also looked like she lost some weight.

"Sarah…" The doctor said sadily.

The fatigued journalist looked at the 12th Doctor, she tilted her head to the side and almost fell over but she managed to catch herself.

"…He's gone …they're all gone…gonna fix it yes." Sarah rambled on to a confused Timelord.

He watched as she swayed back and forth over to her computer desk. Her constant blinking and smell of coffee among the odor made sense.

" I found its weakness…the mists weakness it doesn't like sonic no…no saved a child because of it…but I couldn't save him...Luke..." Sarah said brokenly as tears formed in her eyes.

The Doctor nodded to himself it all made sense now so with a deep breath he walked over to his best friend. Sarah looked at him with lost eyes as he simply pulled her close to his chest. He then hummed a soft tune at first Sarah Jane tried to resist, but soon fresh tears fell from her eyes. He rocked her slowly letting the sound of his two hearts soothe his lost friend.

"…I couldn't keep him safe.." Sarah Jane said in a depressed tone.

"You were caught off guard as was I, but together we can stop the mist and save everyone." The Doctor said with determination.

"Clara?" Sarah asked half asleep.

"Lost to the mist portal, more and more people are becoming lost to this being." The Doctor said seriously.

"…looks like it's up to us again… "Sarah mumbled with her eyes closed.

The Doctor nodded his old friend was back to normal. He looked down to see her struggling to keep her eyes Doctor lifted Sarah off her feet and after moving a few papers he laid her down on the couch. She reached out to him and he took a hold of her hand.

"You need to rest so we can solve this mystery." The Doctor said.

Sarah smiled happily for once as she finally let the sandman claim her.
