alright, for those of you who have noticed that i haven't put any discriptions of what characters look like in this story, it is because i want you to decide which Doctor is in this story (though i have limited it to the ninth Doctor on by mentioning he's the last of the time lords) and if i put in descriptions of other characters it would be weirdish. i might start doing so soon though, so don't be shocked when you find out what some random alien looks like but not what the Doctor looks like

They covered a good amount of distance before anything started attacking them. And of all things to start attacking them, it was bats. "I never knew there were so many bats in Hyrule!" Alice said angrily, swatting another one away with the sword. It was a very old sword, and the blade was dull, so it was easier just to swat at things then attack them.

"And you could have at least grabbed a better sword!" she added

"It was the only one in the room" the Doctor yelled, he was ahead of her by a good five yards or so.

"Really?" Alice called after him, running to catch up "I could have sworn there was another one!"

"Well, I grabbed that one, and there's no going back now!"

Alice frowned, but found that he was right, and decided to stop complaining. They covered only a bit more ground before anything else showed up. "Kargaroks!" she swore, swatting off the annoying birds with the flat of her sword. "How much farther?" she asked the Doctor.

"No idea!" he replied

"Great," Alice muttered to herself, warding off the rest the darn birds.

She hadn't taken more than three steps before the Shadow creatures came. Quite a few Shadow bats and Shadow Vermin showed up "well hurry up! The Dark creatures are starting to find us!" she called, swinging at a few before running at full speed away from them. She hated rats with a fiery burning passion.

The next few minutes went by in a blur of sword swinging and running really quickly as Shadow Deku Babas and regular Deku Babas popped out of the ground and started biting at them. One would have nipped Alice's leg of if the Doctor hadn't pushed her out of the way in time. She repaid him quickly by killing one before it bit off his head.

"Nearly there!" the Doctor called over his shoulder

"We better be" Alice muttered, noticing that plenty of Shadow Kargaroks were on their way.

"There it is!" The Doctor called gleefully after a minute

Alice turned around and saw a blue box standing in the middle of the field "that!" she asked, turning back around to face the Shadow Kargaroks that were attacking

"Yup!" the Doctor replied, running inside

Alice made to follow but was stopped by a red wall of energy. Fearing what could only come net she turned around very slowly. Standing there were three Shadow Monsters. "Shoot" she whispered, knowing it would be impossible for her to kill these things all by herself.

"Doctor!" she called over her shoulder, not taking her eye off the Shadow Monster "hurry up!"

"Give me a sec! Just have to find the right part!"

"Of course he does" Alice sighed, desperately hoping that he knew what he was looking for. She plunged her sword into the heart of the first monster while she was waiting.

"Got it!" he called as he ran back out.

"Take care of that one over there!" Alice yelled, pointing at the Shadow Monster on her right as she ran to take care of the one on her left. Of course, the Doctor had completely ignored her and was kneeling next to the one she had killed previously and examining it. She drove her sword through the heart of this Shadow Monster, still assuming the Doctor was taking care of the other one. But as soon as her monster hit the ground the other one let out an ear piercing scream.

Alice cringed when she heard it, nearly dropping her sword so she could cover her ears. She started to turn towards the Doctor to yell at him when it stopped. Mid-scream, just stopped. The Doctor twirled his light-gun thing and grinned.

"Worked better than I thought it would" he mused, returning to examining the one that lay at his feet "what were these creatures anyways? Some type of-"

"Shadow Monsters," Alice said, cutting him off "annoying, if not deadly, beasts. They haven't been around since the Dark Times, when the Twilight was still around. The only way to defeat them is to kill the last remaining two at or close to the same time so the last one left doesn't have a chance to scream and reawaken his friends. Thought killing one mid-scream, that's pretty impressive, how did you manage that?" she looked at the Doctor, who was staring at her in awe.

"What?" she asked

"Nothing," the Doctor said, standing up "nothing…"

"Okay, so now what?" Alice asked "You're weapons fixed, what do we do?"

"Find the Knight and get rid of him" the Doctor replied, as if it was a daily routine for him. Alice was staring to think that it was. "But where do you think he is?"

"At the Castle" Alice replied matter-of-factly.

The Doctor looked towards the Castle as he asked: "how would you-" he paused, noting that the Castle was shrouded by darkness "alright, I see how you could think that. Let's go!" he twirled his Light Ray and ran off, Alice at his heels.

"Fallen Knight of Darkness" the Doctor yelled at the Knight, who was attacking Castle town brutally "Previously ranking third in the Council of Shadow until you were cruelly stripped of your powers," he added something in a language that Alice couldn't understand "by the Order of the Shadow Proclamation and the Laws of Treaty on a Foreign Planet, I order you to hereby cease and desist!"

The Knight paused his rampage for merely a second to ask mockingly "Which Article, Doctor? You have to be more specific!"

"Article Three subsection A!" The Doctor replied.

The Knight smiled slyly and turned to face the Doctor. "Fine then Doctor, I'll stop destroying Hyrule. But according to the Laws of Treaty on a Foreign Planet, you have one hour to come up with a treaty we can agree with. I didn't think that was a wise choice for uses of Authority."

"Yeah well, it sounded more impressive"

"Showing off for the lady? I don't think that's necessary. We have other matters at hand right now."

"All I want you to do is leave Hyrule alone." The Doctor said

"And I would really appreciate it if you left him alone too!" Alice added quickly

"Thanks" the Doctor whispered to her

"No problem" she replied

"I'd say no to what you added" the Knight spat at Alice "but you are the princess, so you do have right to add anything." He sighed "And what if I don't agree?"

"Then I'll have to stop you" the Doctor replied coldly

"With what army? What weapons? I have a million creatures of darkness on my side, who's on yours?"

"I am!" Alice said

"Anyone else?" the Knight of Darkness looked around "because no matter how good you two are, you'll have to stop fighting eventually."

"Hate to say this Doctor, but I think he's right. And this sword isn't much good" Alice whispered

"Are you kidding me? With this thing" he hefted his Light Ray "it will be a piece of cake."

The Knight let out his battle cry, and his minions started to attack. The Doctor took out the first wave of Dark Creatures with a blast of his Light Ray. Alice took out a good portion of the second with a few good sword swipes, the Doctor killed what she couldn't with a few well placed beams of light.

Alice wasn't so sure of how long the fighting went on, because everything was lost in the blur of battle. It was all just a bunch of sword swipes, screaming, flashes of light and clouds of darkness. "This way" the Doctor called over the noise and they ran into Hyrule field, the Knight and his Army in their wake.

"We can't keep fighting to long" Alice informed the Doctor as she fought off a mass of Shadow Bats "the Dark Creatures we killed will reconstitute themselves soon. We need to corner the Knight and force him to surrender or something"

"Good thinking, but where do we corner him?" the Doctor asked as he shot a few Shadow Kargaroks down with a few light beams.

"The cliff?" Alice suggested

"Good idea!" the Doctor started forcing the Knight and his Army that direction. Alice followed his lead. His Army was dying off, thanks to the Doctor's Light Ray. The Knight was now easier to get to.

Only a few feet from the cliff, Alice somehow managed to drive her sword through the Knight's stomach. The Knight glared at her and staggered back a few steps. He pulled out the sword and cast it to the side, his wound slowly beginning to heal.

"Don't think you can stop me that easily!" he spat

"Of course not" the Doctor said, pointing his Light Ray at him "call off you're army and surrender, we have you cornered."

"At the edge of the cliff, I could jump down there easily and still survive, you call that cornered?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Because do you know what's at the bottom of that cliff?"

The Knight shook his head.

"The Abyss" the Doctor replied. At his words the Knight paled instantly "I'm sure they'll be happy to see you down there."

"Don't send me back there" the Knight said "do anything you want with me, just don't send me back there!"

"Will you leave us alone?" Alice asked

"I'll go" the Knight said

"You're surrendering too easily" the Doctor said, skeptically.

"Trust me, I'm not. I just realized that if I do anything right now, I'm going to mess with history and possibly stop the creation of the Council of Shadow. I wouldn't dare risk it."

Alice looked at the Doctor "should we let him go?"

The Doctor didn't say anything for a moment but then said "I guess we do."

The Knight smiled slightly "I did all I needed to," he whispered "I got you two together, and that's all that matters." He broke into a grin "see you!" and he disappeared.

The Doctor and Alice looked at each other, slightly confused. "What did he mean by that?" Alice asked

"No idea" the Doctor said with a shrug. He smiled "but there is a way to find out."

"And what would that be?"

"You could come with me"

"Where?"

"Anywhere, and anywhen you like."

Alice smiled "I think I'd like that" she said

"I thought you might, come on!" the Doctor started in the direction of the TARDIS, which wasn't all that far away. He pushed the door open and let Alice go in first. "Whoa…" she said, awestruck.

"Not the first," the Doctor muttered, waiting for her to comment about it being bigger on the inside.

"This is amazing!" she said

The Doctor was shocked for a second that she didn't seem confused about the fact that the TARDIS was bigger on the inside, but disregarded the thought and headed towards the console.

"Where do we begin?" Alice asked

The Doctor stopped, looked at her for a second, then said "for you, we start with a change of clothes. You can't travel throughout time and space in that, no offense or anything."

"None taken." She looked around the TARDIS for a second before asking "where do I find a change of clothes?"

The Doctor just grinned at her, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her into the depths of the TARDIS to the wardrobe.

no, this is not the end of the story, just the end of the episode. i'll have more up eventually
