Luna's Prophecy

An hour later, the team at Torchwood were still going over their plan to save the Doctor. The sticking point was getting Luna to the TARDIS in London. The original plan was to team up with UNIT and ask them to distract the Daleks. However no one wanted risk the lives of the soldiers.

"It's unfair to ask those men to take on such a huge risk," Sarah Jane said, "The likelihood of them of them being killed is certain."

"They are soldiers," James replied, "As am I. We are fully aware of the danger we face when we sign up. It's what makes us stand out from the rest."

"They still have families and loved ones that need them." Martha added, sombrely.

"Maybe it doesn't need to come to that," Luna interrupted, "Jack, that time vortex thing on you wrist, what does it do? What is its purpose?"

"Why?"

"You said it could teleport."

"It used to before the Doctor tampered with it, twice."

"How?"

"He used the sonic screwdriver."

Then a light bulb went off in Luna's head. She had better idea of getting to the TARDIS.

"Has anyone got a sonic device?" She asked.

"Oh, yes, I do," Sarah Jane replied, "It's a sonic lipstick though."

"It doesn't matter. Can I borrow it for a few minutes?"

"Yes, but why?"

"I may be able to get the teleport on Jack's device working again. Then we can use it to get to the TARDIS."

The team looked at each other. Surely only the Doctor knew how to do that. Sarah Jane handed over her sonic lipstick and Jack gave Luna the time vortex manipulator. She sat at a desk and started fiddling with the sonic lipstick and pressing the buttons. She was concentrating so much she was oblivious to the eyes watching her.

"Do you think she can do it?" Martha asked Jack, hushed.

"Actually, yeah," He replied, "She doesn't look much but in that head is a real time lord."

"Also, her hearts want to make sure she succeeds." Gwen added.

They stood back and watched her working, like they did when the Doctor was trying to find her.

Speaking of the Doctor, the Time Lord himself was still in his uncomfortable position on the table. The Daleks were still watching him with an almost arrogant persona. They would be gloating if they could show it.

'I never thought waiting to die could be so annoying.' He thought to himself.

'Oh, come on, there's that defeatist attitude that I hate. Surely, I can get out of here using my own great wit.'

'But a little difficult to do that when I can't move my arms.'

'Really could do with Houdini being here right now.'

No matter what, the Doctor was stuck. He knew that his only way of getting out would be for Jack, Luna and the others to save him or for Granger to have a change of heart. But a change of heart was far from Doctor Dalton Granger's mind. He was collecting his final readings from his tests on the Doctor. The results were quite fascinating. He knew the Doctor had two hearts but didn't have any idea at what rhythm they produced. Now he could play it back and calculate the rate. He smiled to himself.

"Finally years of research will finally be concluded. I shall be winning accolades for this."

"And we will be free to take over the Earth." The Dalek in charge added.

"Don't forget you promised to leave people alive. Having them as slaves will be more fun than killing them all."

There was quite a lengthy pause, as if the Dalek was thinking about the request.

"Agreed"

"Good. Now, I had better go and check on my new specimen."

Granger strode away, unaware of the ulterior motive of the Daleks.

Back in Cardiff, Luna was still fiddling with the vortex manipulator. She was almost done though. She had to figure the code that the Doctor used to disable the device then use it to activate it. Even though she was concentrating on this fiddly task, her thoughts were still focused the Doctor. It was hard for her to accept that as soon as a year ago she was just a student paying her way with her office assistant job. The Doctor had enriched her life and given her the opportunity to make her dream come true. She always wanted to see the glory of space with her own eyes and widened her knowledge. The Doctor and the TARDIS allowed that desire to blossom and she didn't want it to end. Now, the fate of the universe and the Doctor's survival rested on her.

Suddenly the manipulator gave a definite beep signalling that it was ready. The others all heard the noise and came over to see, unable to believe that Luna had got it working all on her own without any previous exposure to the device.

"Before we get carried away," Ianto stated, "We should really test it."

"Yeah," Luna agreed, "Here, Jack."

She tossed it to the Captain who looked at her suspiciously.

"Just try teleporting to your office."

Cautiously, Jack fastened the manipulator to his wrist then pressed the buttons to teleport to his office. In a flash of blue light, he disappeared. Everyone looked towards Jack's office and waited. Sure enough, a few second later, the same blue flash appeared in the office and Jack appeared, completely in tact and safe.

"It worked!" Martha, Sarah Jane and Gwen gasped.

"Wow," Luke gasped, "How did you do that?"

"Trial and error and a little bit of sonic," Luna said, smiling; "Now we need to get to the TARDIS, Jack."

"Let's go." Jack agreed.

Jack pressed the buttons, arranging the coordinates, and Luna linked arms with him. They both held the device then in the blue flash, they both vanished.

When they reappeared, Jack and Luna found themselves in London. They turned around to see the TARDIS stood waiting patiently for the Doctor to return. They looked around and saw no sign of any Daleks floating around. Once they were sure that the coast was clear, they ran as fast as possible to the doors and Luna opened them with her key. They bundled themselves inside, locked the doors and Luna set to work getting the TARDIS ready for flight. Jack helped her but most of the work was from Luna. He watched in respect as he thought how she had grown since they first met.

"So you can fly this thing solo now?" He asked.

"Yeah," She replied, "The Doctor decided I should catch up on the education I could've got if I had grown on Gallifrey. So I can also read the monitor."

Jack stood, impressed. Deep down, he just hoped that it wouldn't all end in tears, like with the Master. Once Luna was ready, they secured themselves then Luna let off the handbrake. The TARDIS gave its usual jolt and its whirring siren sounded once again. Outside, the box disappeared, wind swirling around where it had been stood. A few minutes, it materialised inside the Hub, in a safe space. Now it was time for the most important part of their plan to get under way.

The next thing that the team needed was a weapon to fight back against the Daleks.

"We have two guns that we used last time." Gwen said.

"But we need at least four," Luna replied, "for this plan to work."

"We'll need to make two more then." Jack concluded.

"I could do that." Luke piped up.

"Luke?" Sarah Jane queried.

"I want to help. I know I not ready for fighting the Daleks but I don't to sit back and let this happen."

Luna smiled and looked at Jack. The Captain could see Luke's determination. He too smiled. He turned to Ianto who brought one of the guns out and showed it to Luke. He took it and examined it.

"It looks simple to make." He finally said."

"Ok, let's get to work. We haven't got long." Jack said.

So, Luke set to work building two more of the anti-Dalek guns with a bit of help from Clyde. The team were one step closer to saving the Doctor.
