Okay, here's chapter 34, I can't believe it, anyway, let's get on with this.
Previously
"Cassandra?"
"Wake up and smell the perfume." she said. She sprayed the Doctor with the perfume that Chip had given her and knocked him out
And now...
"You've hurt him." said Novice Hame "I don't understand. I'll have to fetch Matron."
"You do that, cause I want to see her." said Cassandra. "Now run along! Sound the alarm!"
--
The Doctor woke up, he looked around and realised that he was in one of the cells. "Let me out!" he shouted "Let me out!"
"Aren't you lucky there was a spare?" said Cassandra "Standing room only."
"You've stolen Rose's body!" he said
"Over the years I've thought of a thousand ways to kill you, Doctor." she said "And now that's exactly what I've got. One thousand dieases. They pump the patients with a top up every 10 minutes. You've got about three minutes left. Enjoy."
"Just let Rose go, Cassandra."
"I will." she replied "Once I find someone younger and less common. Then I'll junk her with the waste. Now hush-a-bye. It's showtime."
"Anything we can do to help?"
"Straight to the point, whiskers." Cassandra said "I want money."
"The Sisterhood is a charity, we don't give money." said the Matron "We only accept."
"The humans across the water pay you a fortune, and that's exactly what I need." said Cassandra "A one off payment, that's all I want. Oh and perhaps a yacht, in return for which I will tell the city nothing of your institutional murder. Is that a deal?"
"I'm afraid not."
"I'd really advise you to think about this."
"Oh, there's no need." said the Matron "I have to decline."
"I'll tell them." Cassandra threatened "And you've no way of stopping me. You're not exactly nuns with guns. You're not even armed."
"Who needs arms when we have claws?"
"Well, nice try." she said "Chip, plan B!"
Chip released all of the patients. The Doctor stepped out of the cell she'd put him in "What have you done?"
"Gave the system a shot of Adrenaline, just to wake them up. See ya." she ran.
"Don't touch them." the Doctor shouted "Whatever you do, don't touch them!"
--
The Doctor and Cassandra (who was still in Rose's body) stood with Chip at the railing watching as the other's got out. "Oh, my God."
"What the hell have you done?"
"It wasn't me."
"One touch and you get every disease in the world." the Doctor said "And I want that body safe, Cassandra. We've got to go down."
"But there's thousands of them."
"RUN!" the Doctor shouted and he gave Cassandra a little shove "Down, down, go down!
--
"keep going, go down!" said the Doctor.
They continued down the stairs with the flesh following them. Cassandra headed for the lift. "No, the lifts have closed down." the Doctor said "There's a quarantine, nothing's moving."
"This way!"
They ran, there were some of the flesh coming towards them as they ran, but the Doctor and Cassandra got past them, unfortunately Chip didn't. "Don't let them touch you!" the Doctor shouted
"Leave him!" Cassandra said "This is a clone thing. He's only got a half-life. COme on!"
"Mistress."
"I'm sorry, I can't let her escape."
"My mistress."
The Doctor ran after Cassandra, more determinded than ever to get her out of Rose's body.
--
They were back inside Cassandra's lair now. "We're trapped!" Cassandra screamed "What are we going to do?"
"Well for starters, you're gonna leave that body." said the Doctor "That pshyco-graft is banned on every civilised planet. You're compressing Rose to death."
"But I've got nowhere to go." Cassandra said "My original skin is dead."
"Not my problem, you can float as atoms in the air." said the Doctor "Now get out." He pointed the sonic screwdriver at her "Give her back to me."
"You asked for it."
Cassandra left Rose's body and went into the Doctor's
"Blimey, my head." said Rose. "Where'd she go?"
"Oh my, this is..." said Cassandra, who was now inside the Doctor "different."
"Cassandra?"
"Goodness me, I'm a man." said Cassandra "Yum. So many parts. And hardly used. Oh! Ah! Two hearts. Oh, baby, I'm beating out a samba."
"Get out of him." said Rose
"Ooh, he's slim." said Cassandra "And a little bit foxy. You thought so, too. I've been inside your head. You've been looking. You like it." The door opened and the flesh came in "What do we do? What would he do? The Doctor! What the hell would he do?"
"Ladder." said Rose "We've got to get up."
"Out of the way blondie." Cassandra said as she or rather he shoved past her and climbed the ladder.
--
"If you get out of the Doctor's body, he can think of something."
"God, it was tedious inside your head. Hormone City."
"But we're gonna die if...Ow!" the Matron grabbed her foot "Get off."
"All our good work, all that healing." she said "The good name of the Sisterhood. You have destroyed everything."
"Go and play with a ball of string." said Cassandra.
"Everywhere, disease. This is the human world, sickness." she screamed, one of the flesh had touched her, she fell and was killed either by the fall or the diseases.
"Move!"
Cassandra moved
--
They had reached the lift doors "Now what do we do?" asked Cassandra
"Use the sonic screwdriver." Rose said
Cassandra reached into the inside pocket of the Doctor's jacket and pulled it out "You mean this thing?"
"Yes, I mean that thing!"
"But I don't know how!" Cassandra said "That Doctor's hidden away all his thoughts."
"Cassandra, go back into me." Rose said "The Doctor can open it. Do it!"
"Hold on tight." Cassandra told her and went into her "Oh, chav-tastic again. Open it."
"Not until you get out of her."
"We need the Doctor."
"I order you to leave her!"
Cassandra left Rose and went back into the Doctor "No matter how difficult the situation, there is no need to shout."
"Cassandra, get out of him!"
"But, if I go into you, he simply refuses" Cassandra told her "He's so rude."
"I don't care," said Rose who was getting sick of this "just do something."
"Oh, I'm so going to regret this." She left the Doctor and went into one of the flesh "Oh, sweet lord, I look disgusting."
The Doctor opened the lift doors and held out his hand to his wife "Nice to have you back."
"No, you don't." said Cassandra and she went back into Rose.
The Doctor closed the lift doors "That is your last warning, Cassandra."
"Inside her head..." she said "They're so alone. They keep reaching out, just to hold us. All their lives and they've never been touched." The Doctor held out his hand and helped her up. They went back to the Face of Boe's ward.
They were about to be attacked by Frau Clovis. "We're safe, we're safe, we're safe!" the Doctor said "We're clean, we're clean! Look, look."
"Show me your skin."
"Look! Clean! Look!" said the Doctor as he and Cassandra showed their hands "If we'd been touched, we'd be dead." he pocketed the sonic screwdriver "So, how's it going up here? What's the status?"
"Nothing but silence from the other wards." she answered "I think we're the only ones left. I've been trying to override the quarantine. If I can trip a signal over to New New York, they can sent a private executive squad."
"You can't do that." the Doctor told her "If they forced entry, they'd break quarantine."
"I am not dying in here." she said
"We can't let a single particle of disease get out." the Doctor said "There's 10 million people in that city, they'd all be at risk. Now turn that off."
"Not if it get's me out."
"All right, fine." said the Doctor "So I have to stop you lot as well. Suits me." he paused "Rose, Novice Hame, Everyone! Excuse me, Your Grace. Get me the intravenus solutions for every single disease! Move it!"
Okay, that's all you're getting for now, you might not get another update today as I've got a million and one things to do for college for tomorrow. Anyway, the next chapter will be the sixth and final part of New Earth.
