Next Chapter! Anyways should've been saying this from the beginning, I OWN NOTHING! (and what I do own is just a story~)

After the Doctor had mysteriously disappeared into the Tardis the others could hear a series of crashes. Finally the Doctor came out with an odd contraption in his hand, and his bow tie slightly askew.

"Here let me fix that," Claudia boldly stepped forward and straightened the bow tie, causing the old alien to blush.

"What is that?" asked Pete hoping it would be some cool alien do-hicky.

"It's a Sonic tracker," said the Doctor almost fondly. "It searches the air waves for Sonic frequencies and goes ding."

"Sonic implies sound," Artie said stating the obvious. "So if it's not in use will it still make sound?"

The Doctor was about to reply of course it does, it's a sonic when he realized that the grumpy old fellow might just have a point.

"Well?" asked Artie. "Don't just stand with your mouth open, answer me."

"Ummm yes, well it may not work," the Doctor said bleakly, slipping the device back into his pocket. "But I think I may have something else." He rushed back into the police box, while Artie just shook his head.

"He's a mad man. Absolutely mad," Artie cried.

"Actually I prefer being called a mad man with a box," the Doctor replied breezily. Artie jumped, he hadn't guessed that the Doctor would have overheard him.

"And what do we have now?"

"Oh this little bit of loveliness is a temporal time loop aftermath facilitator," the Doctor said holding up his new toy.

"Huh?" said Myka. That's when Pete knew they were in trouble, Myka knew all the big words Pete didn't and if she couldn't figure it out..well they were doomed.

Or not quite. "It latches on to things that have been through time and space, and alerts us of their possibility of being the Doctor's lost sonic," Claudia said taking the gadget gently from the Doctor's hands and flipping the switch. A light turned on and went bing, the antenna had been pointed at the Doctor, as she moved it away from him and towards the Tardis. Replacing the bing was static, until the antenna landed squarely in front of the Tardis where it went bing again.

The Doctor looked on at Claudia. He was impressed by her knowledge, and the fact that she respected the fact that he was an alien. Pete was much to enthusiastic, like a puppy. As for Artie and Myka, they didn't seem to trust him, and Artie was far to grumpy for the Doctor's liking. So they all followed Claudia through the Warehouse.

After three detours to first the rocket ship aisle, then the clock aisle, and finally the window aisle (now that was a weird story), they arrived in front of a large crate. In big black letters it said DANGEROUS. DO NOT OPEN. From inside the crate came the sound of gears clicking in and out of place. A steady rhythm, similar to that of a clock.

"Oh it's just another false alarm," Artie said tiredly. They had been walking around for hours with no luck, and even Pete who was like an overly excited puppy was now thoroughly tired out.

"What makes you say that?" asked Myka even though she was inclined to agree.

"Oh this is the Antikythera mechanism. It has all sorts of things to do with time and space," Artie said. He raised his voice, "and is highly dangerous!"

The reason he had raised his voice was the Doctor had been moving to go open the crate, but he paused. "I thought that it was housed at the Archaeological Museum in Athens."

"Oh that, they just have a fake," Artie said dismissively. "We have the real one."

The Doctor narrowed his eyes, he didn't like the fact that a national treasure (of the Greeks that is) was being stored away from the public eye. In America.

"Well better check to be safe," the Doctor said going over to the box. Carefully he lifted the lid and peered into the box. Wedged between a board of wood and some bronze was his Sonic. "Got it!" he exclaimed. But just as his fingers brushed the end of the Sonic, it fell deeper into the mechanism, jamming two gears and disappeared.

"What?" the Doctor yelled. His sonic had just disappeared. There was the sound of the gears restarting up, as the Antikythera mechanism started it's continual turning. Documenting time.

"What happened?" asked Myka.

"My sonic just disappeared, and I have no clue where it is!"

"Try Ancient Greece," Claudia said pointing to the sign (the one none of them had noticed {not even the Doctor} till now).

It read: Antikythera Mechanism. In constant motion, if gears are stopped will send things back to Ancient Greece using a measurement of stars and the lunar calender to date.

"So where is it now?" asked the Doctor with a scowl.

"With the inventor," replied Myka.

"Do we even know who invented the anon- antikyt- antikythrn- ugh the mechanism?" asked Pete, giving up on the pronunciation.

"Yes the first prototype ever built of the Antikythera Mechanism was built by Plato in his dying years. Thus he was the inventor, making the Antikythera Mechanism much older than people thought. Ciero, a studier of Greek philosophy, built this one and was sending it home to Rome from his vacation house in Greece. And so-"

"We don't have time for all this Artie," Claudia interrupted. The Doctor had gone pale.

"So my Sonic is in the hands of one of the brilliant minds in all of time?" he asked weakly.

Claudia nodded.

"We need to get it back, if he gets a good look at it...It could change time, and rewrite history!"

Cliff hanger! Hope you aren't too mad at me. Thanks for all the reviews (they really are inspiring). I want some more though (uh yes I am a greedy person). SO let me know how I am doing, and any suggestions for along the way? I have most of the plot worked out, but not necessarily all the details, so I am welcome to suggestions. So leave a review after the beep.

*BEEP*
