En Masse

Donna banged on the bars of the cell.

"Who do you think you are? Oi! How does this make you so much better? There's kids in here!"

She glanced across. Luke gave a shaky smile, wincing, he'd collided withe wall on being thrown into the cell, and badly bruised his arm and bumped his head.

"DAMN YOU!"

Luke gave a feeble hand signal that meant, please be quiet for a bit.

The screaming in the distance had been replaced by what sounded like loud scuffling.

Donna sat down next to Luke, and stroked his head.

Luke looked distinctly uncomfortable.

He smiled awkwardly again. Donna was no doctor, but she knew he should have his head checked pretty soon, he seemed to be groggy still and that was never a good sign. First Aid course was good for something, then.

"Oi! D'you mind? Injured kid over here, he banged his head, d'you really want that on your conscience?""

The screaming restarted in the floors above.

"Talking to myself, I take it?"

Suddenly, the door opened.

One of the burly H4 guards, with the biggest hands Donna had ever seen, threw something- someone, most likely, into the cell.

She was small, and they'd put a something over her head.

"Oi!" Donna interjected but was pushed backwards, and the guard waltzed off.

Donna approached the figure. She pulled the bag gently off the girl's head. A mass of blonde hair tumbled away.

"Jenny?"

Her face was bruised. Being a Time Lord they'd just knocked her out casually, to save any fuss, and the bruise was small and bright, like someone had hit her with the butt of a gun.

The was more scuffling from above, the screaming intensitfied- it was more than one person now, and lower, clearer voice.

Jenny was still asleep and Luke had his head back, whining.

"Oi!"

Suddenly a voice rang out, over the loudspeaker, far above.

'MAINFRAME BREACH!'

In tyhe next few minutes, what looked like every spare soldier galloped past.

"HAUL ARSE!" a voice echoed.

"I'M GOING AS FAST AS I CAN!"

Suddenly a man came tumbling through the Wing's doors.

"Look!"

Martha looked up.. The man was standing outside the cell. He wrenched the cell doors back.

"GO! NOW!"

"But who-?"

He rushed up to her and thrust what looked like a sonic screwdriver in her face.

She pulled a face.

"What, even now? Bows tie are cool!"

He was silent and pulled a face back.

"MOVE! RUN!"

Donna banged on the doors and echoed him.

"CAN SOMEONE CARRY HIM?" she bellowed.

Luke was semi-concious.

She scooped Jenny up.

The Doctor rushed in.

His eyes lingered on Jenny for a few seconds, before he gently picked Luke up and walked away.

"STUN GUN!" he shouted, as he went of the cell, pointing at Mickey, by flicking his head in his direction, struggling with Luke. Jack offered but he pointed towards the door, dismissing the help.

"POCKET!"

Mickey plunged his hand into the inside pocket, and pulled out the stun gun.

"I DID HAVE MORE BUT THEY GOT SMASHED!" he yelled as Donna passed him with Jenny and he followed her out. "FOLLOW ME! LUCY!" he added as he passed her.

Emma met her mother in the corridor, hugged her hurriedly, and pulled her out. Jack caught sight of Ianto, and beckoned him. Amy and Rory appeared from the cell furthest away.

"HAUL ARSE!" Amy pulled Rory along with her, and encouraged them all forward.

"SARAH! I HAVE LUKE!"

"Thank you!" a voice added breathlessly, from a few paces behind.

"You don't need to shout!"

"Are you alright?" Martha added. "Where the hell did you get that get up from?"

"It's not me," he replied breathlessly. "He's-"

"At this point, the Master plunged his hand into ther other pocket and removed the Sonic, and bounded away. He reached the end of the corridor and whistled loudly.

A figure came towards them.

"RUN! OUT, OUT, OUT!"

Without looking back, they sped up resolutely.

"Down the stairs!"

"SAY WHAT?"

"HAUL ARSE!"

"Is that the phrase if the day?" Donna added, as the Master shoved past a opened the door.

"GO! RIGHT TO THE BOTTOM, CELL 1, RIGHT TO THE END, GET IN THE CAR!"

"CAR?" Donna replied as she pased him.

"TARDIS!" Martha yelled over her head.

"Whose?"

"Move!"

Martha glanced over her shoulder, for half a second. There was a mass of voices.

"SCREWDRIVER!"

The Master rolled his eyes and ran back up the metal staircase. There was an ear splitting noise, that Donna was very familiar with. Two Sonics rammed together.

"Move!"

Suddenly the Master reappeared. Only to be pushed to the wall as he moved out of the way of a flapping mass of brown coat.

The Master remembered who was at the bottom of the stairs, carrying Luke.

"PARADOX!" he shrieked. "AND WHEN THE HELL DID YOU HAVE TIME TO GET YOUR COAT BACK?"

Isobel heard noises on the the floor below, and kicked the hatch oppen and jumped through, brandishing her stun gun.

"DOCTOR, FRIEND!" he yelled as he passed. Isobel hurried after the group.

"DOOR! DOOR!"

"Move your arses!"

The crowd of prisoners inside Cell 1 were being shephered into the car, as planned, with Rose encouraging them.

"IN!"

They all piled in after the prisoners, the Doctor carefully placed Luke on the chair and clicked his fingers, Ianto and Martha were nearest and held him still, as best they could. The Doctor set it going, just as what looked like a flying coat flew through the door.

It was bedlam.

"SIT DOWN!" Rose yelled over the hubbub.

Martha cradled Luke's head, while intermittently checking for the presence of the Doctor, whom, she thought wryly, there were now three of. He waved at her. The Master almost fell over as Lucy launched herself at him and Emma pulled a face. Jack watched with interest, and Ianto caught sight of him, raising his eyebrows.

The Doctor's clone stood next to Rose, still organising the prisoners. The whoosing of the column suddenly stopped. Jack gave Ianto a quick hug and rushed out, followed by the Master. The Doctor smiled in their general direction. Rose waved at the prisoners to follow them. Isobel and Mickey also rushed after them.

"Stay! And look after Luke!"

"Will do!" Martha announced, and Ianto nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Bow Tie!"

A mass of tweed tumbled out of the door. And everything was silent.

"He banged his head," Donna whispered to Martha.

"Was he sick? How long has he been out?"

"No. And not long."

"Could be worse. Better safe than sorry, sooner he gets checked over the better."

"Where did they...?" Sarah Jane was staring after the crowd.

"The Rani," said Emma.

"Bringing down a government, all in a day's work," Martha said quietly, stroking Luke's head.

Sarah Jane knelt down next to them and did the same.

"Never!"

-

The crowd of prisoners pushed into the government HQ, yelling indiscrimnately.

"Back off!" the guard shouted at them. "Or I will shoot you!"

The prisoners pushed him the ground.

"Somehow, I don't think so," Jack commented as the prisoners easily pushed six guards to the floor. Mickey aimed his stun gun at each of their left legs for good measure.

"This is too easy!" the Doctor said breathlessly. "Oi! No massacre, yeah?" he shouted at a large group, who were pinning the guards to the ground. "OI!"

"What the hell is she-?"

"Bow Tie, allons-y!"

"Romana!"

"What?"

"You heard me!" he scampered back over to the sliding doors of the entrance and peered back towards Aggie's TARDIS in the distance.

"GO OR STAY! OI! GET OFF HIM!" he added to a prisoner who was just about to punch a guard already on the floor in the face.

"She was -she was right there-"

"She'll be fine! GO OR STAY!"

Aggie emerged from the mob and grinned at her father as she followed the rest of the crowd up the stairs.

"Oi!" he shouted after her. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN...? GO OR STAY!" he shouted a third time.

He bounded after Aggie, leaving his other self still staring into the distance. After a few moments, he too dashed away.

"RANI!"
