Gavin stood looking up at the night sky, knowing that above him the alliance fleet silently waited from him in the darkness.
"Can't sleep?" someone asked.
Gavin turned to see Luke walking up to him.
" It's what awaits us out there, the alliance will be coming for the key, coming for me" Gavin answered.
"You still think this is your fault don't you" Luke replied.
Gavin lowered his head and looked at the ground.
"The alliance wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me" Gavin continued.
"But that's not true, Jack says the wormhole can only be opened from here or Kriteria and the fact there here means they must want to go back in time to a point in Kriteria's past, so they would have come here anyway" Luke told him.
"But I brought the key here" Gavin added.
Luke then placed his hand on Gavin's shoulder.
"Gavin you did the right thing, trust me" Luke said.
Gavin then looked up at him.
"How can you be so sure" Gavin asked.
"Because I know that Mum, Jack, James, Mark, all of us will do everything in our power to stop the alliance getting there hands on the key or you" Luke answered.
Gavin then began to smile.
"Your Just like your mum Luke, thank you" he replied.
Just then a bright object appeared in the sky and began to streak towards them.
"Here they come" Luke simply said.
Luke and Gavin then headed back into the control room, where walker was tracking the object.
"Sarge the object is on a controlled descent," Walker told James.
"It's an alliance shuttle," Mark said.
James turned to him.
"How many on board?" James asked.
"About 30 troopers" Mark answered.
"Put the base on red alert I want all available personal ready for them" James continued.
"Yes sir" Walker replied as he did as James asked.
Just then Sarah Jane, Jack, and the others came into the room.
"What's happening" Sarah Jane asked.
"The alliance have sent us a welcoming comity," Mark told her.
"Sarah Jane I want you and the others to leave with Gavin and the key" James said.
"What are you talking about" Sarah Jane asked.
"We'll hold them off as long as we can, but you have to go now" James replied.
"No we stand a better chance if we stick together" Sarah Jane answered.
"We can not allow the alliance to get there hands on Gavin or the key, please Sarah Jane just go" James added.
But before Sarah Jane or James could continue one of the computers bust into life.
"What the" Jay said as everyone turned to the computer.
"Can anyone hear me the sub wave network is now active, calling all companions of the doctor" A voice called.
"Mum" James said as he walked up to the computer.
The screen then cleared and the face of Kate Lefbridge Stuart appeared on the screen.
"James thank god, is everyone ok" Kate asked.
"Everyone's fine" James answered as Sarah Jane joined him at the computer screen.
"That's good news," the brigadier said as he appeared on the screen.
"Brigadier" Sarah Jane greeted.
"Miss Smith" The brigadier replied.
The brigadier then turned to his grandson.
"What's the situation James?" he asked.
"We have an alliance shuttle incoming and we think we know why they are here" James replied.
James then explained about the key and what he believed the alliance was planning to
do once they had the key.
"Sounds like we need a doctor" a familiar voice said as another screen appeared on the sub wave network.
The screen then cleared and everyone could see Martha Jones and Mickey smith.
"Martha, Mickey" Sarah Jane said.
"Good to see a fellow smith" Mickey replied with a smile.
"Indeed" Sarah Jane replied.
Sarah Jane then turned to Martha.
"Martha do you still have the phone the doctor gave you," She asked.
Martha nodded.
"I've been trying to contact him since the fleet arrived, but it's no use" She answered.
"The alliance will be jamming interstellar communications so we can't call for help" Jack told her.
Martha began to smile.
"Thought you'd be in the middle of this Jack" Martha said.
"Always am" Jack answered with a smile.
"Hey stop flirting with my fiancée captain cheese cake" Mickey told him with a grin.
"Fiancée?" Jack replied.
Martha the showed Jack an engagement ring.
"Your getting marred, brilliant make sure you send me an invite I love weddings," Jack continued.
The brigadier then coughed loudly.
"Maybe now isn't the right time for this" he said.
"Shouldn't we be trying to contact the doctor" Rani added.
"But how do we contact him" Danny asked
"Yeah the alliance are still jamming us" Josh replied.
"We use the sub wave," Sky answered.
"Of cause the sub wave is undetectable" Kate continued
"But how does that help us" Clyde asked.
"Because you can't block a signal you can't detect," Sky explained.
"Yeah but last time we used the sub wave we had to boost the signal to contact the doctor the daleks eventually detected it" Martha replied.
"Yes but hopefully the signal will reach the doctor before they can jam it" Kate added
"But we can't boost the signal like we did last time, the rift in Cardiff has now been sealed" Jack told them.
"Maybe I can help you there" Another female voice said as a 3rd screen joined the sub wave network.
The screen soon cleared to reveal a girl in her 20s with long ginger hair and a man with swept back black hair.
"You must be Amy and Rory" Sarah Jane said.
"And you must be Sarah Jane" Amy answered.
"The doctors told you about me then" Sarah Jane continued.
"Oh he's told us about all of you" Rory replied.
"You can't shut him up once he gets started" Amy added.
This made everyone smile these two knew the doctor all right.
"You say you can help us contact him," Martha asked.
Amy nodded.
"He gave me this" Amy said as she held up a clear white ball.
"Is that an Ood communication sphere?" Jack asked.
"Something like that" Amy answered.
"The doctor said even if he was on the other side of the universe we'd be able to contact him if we needed to" Rory replied.
"Brilliant" Jack said as he began to enter commands into his vortex manipulator.
"What are you doing?" Sarah Jane asked him.
"I've got a data message programmed into my vortex manipulator, I'm just adding the information about the fleet and what we think there up to" Jack explained.
You think it'll still work" Sanjay asked.
"The explosion didn't damage it luckily," Jack answered.
"I still don't understand how we going to connect Martha's phone Jack vortex manipulator and Amy's sphere together," Mickey asked.
"With the help of an old friend" Sarah Jane said with a smile.
She then turned to Luke who nodded and pulled out a whistle from around his neck and blew it, suddenly the room was filled with a bright light as K9 appeared.
"K9" Mickey almost shouted.
K9 turned to face Luke.
"You called master Luke" K9 said.
"I need you to connect Jacks vortex manipulator to Amy's Ood Sphere and use Martha's phone to send a message the doctor" Luke quickly explained.
"Understood master Luke, connecting to devices now" K9 said.
Suddenly the room began to shake.
"What's happening" Jay asked.
"It's the alliance shuttle, there here" Mark replied.
Outside the alliance shuttle landed on a beach, and about 30 Kriterion troopers appeared from one of the doors followed by red eye.
"Knight Commander" He called.
One of the troopers turned to him and bowed his head.
"My lord" he simply replied.
"Find the key and bring the boy to me" Red Eye ordered.
"And the others" The knight commander asked.
"Take no prisoners, Kill them all" Red Eye told him.
