How do you make a nightmare a dream? If it's lived on repeat enough, the trick is to take all the nasty details and know how to stop them. The Doctor lived over 30 hours of Hell to crack it in less than 10 minutes.
First step, warning the neighbors.
The Doctor had spent a bit of time getting to know the locals, either by trying to save each one or from word of mouth. It tends to surprise someone to a letter with their name attached to their doors, telling them they're in danger and to stay indoors. The laser fire convinced most folks to agree. The mechanics and carpenters had been given more curious post script.
SORRY, NEEDED TO BORROW SOME TOOLS
-THE DOCTOR
Collecting the minutes of experience had helped paint a curious idea of a vehicle. Using ski supplies, a canoe, metal takes polarized with copper wire, goggles, and multiple bags of chemically adjusted salt the Doctor had created a crazy snowmobile. Flying over the snow, the Doctor planted stakes with rapid precision as she lapped the village. With a flick of her screwdriver, the circle was activated drawing every laser blast followed the soldiers who were shut down with the magnetized field. She would make a record of every loss and send word to their loved ones, give them a proper burial.
Creating an inner circle of salt had been a good first step, but the Devil Leeches were probably a little more stubborn than that. Luckily the Doctor had learned to maneuver about very smoothly, and had created a bit of bait. Some pieces of meat, hyper cooked with the high-power current and tossing them into the snow… with extra sodium.
They were mauled in seconds, the shriveled remains of the worms coiled up everywhere. The rest tried to escape and met the other circle. Snow and salt would poison any chance of replicating these demented monstrosities. A slight flicker of darkness crossed the Doctor's eyesight, the final devil into play.
This one was resolved thanks to Max.
As Shadow Skins skulked into the homes of Yardingale's locals, they were immediately met microspores of the enzyme Tilorians made, burning away instantly. Max had worked through the time bubble, teleporting the concoction into every home, focused on homes with hints of weapons or large families.
And with that, three impossible foes had been reduced to nothing. The power of a Time Lord was built on a tenacity to help others and galaxies worth of patience. The Rani had tried to spoil that with wanted posters implying the danger of the Doctor with a picture of her. Granted while the people of Yardingale would agree at the dangerous power aspect, perhaps the threat wasn't directed at them. A good number of them had been soldiers, they recognized an armed invasion quite easily, even if they weren't used to a war ending without a fight.
The people looked about and then heard a curious groan. Following the sound, despite the bitter cold, made the crows turn one corner to observe a strange blue box. The woman from the posters was walking right into it. She stopped, turning to observe the confused people a few feet away.
"Name's the Doctor, and it had been my honor." She gave them a quick salute and closed the door behind her.
The strange box left as if it were never there, the slight indent of a square space quickly filled in by falling snow. Those who had witnessed the oddity made a habit, every year, to gather a set of iron stakes, the ones used to save them, and place them there. On top was placed a picture of their savior. Yardingale never knew a hard Winter from that point forward, no threat of malice again.
Just many, many years of peace.
With a quiet holiday remembering the woman who had preserved it.
