A/N: I'm very sorry that none of you could access this chapter at first, and thank you to the people that messaged me about it. I have no idea what happened, but fingers crossed that it works now! (Does it?)
Anyway, back to my original A/N...
Guys, I think I may ship another Doctor Who couple…TARDIS/Doctor. How adorable was 'The Doctor's Wife'? It was BRILLIANT.
I soooo want to incorporate that storyline into this story. It doesn't fit the plan but who knows…it may be right for the…wait for it…SEQUEL!
Yes, you heard me correctly. There will (most-probably) be a sequel to this story. It won't be for a while yet as we still have a long way to go in this story, but when Ratings out of Ten is finished, I won't be ready to let go just yet.
Now, I have a sequel name in mind…but the title kind of gives away the ending of this story. You'll have to wait for it, I'm afraid!
Anyhow, enjoy this short(ish) chapter of the ending to the beach story!
(Oh, and thank you to Hollen, Emma and to die for dr who fan for your anonymous reviews! :D )
It was only when Amy and the Doctor had gone their separate ways when the Doctor realised that he could have given her the communicators that they'd been using the night before to stay in contact.
But it was too late, so the Doctor had no choice but to continue through the base, searching for the aliens.
Without the aid of his sonic screwdriver and without Amy beside him, he felt a little lost.
~I~
Amy however, was in the midst of a beetle versus human battle. A few minutes after separating from the Doctor, twenty of the beetle-like aliens had surrounded her and the prisoners.
Amy had snapped into action quickly, disabling the alien's weapons with the Doctor's sonic screwdriver, but that didn't stop the aliens from chasing them down the corridor.
"The door at the end is the control room!" Amy yelled over the shrieks of terror from the prisoners as the aliens advanced on them.
One of the prisoners reached the door first, and cried, "The door's locked!"
"Get out of the way!" Amy bellowed, pushing through the panicking crowds of prisoners.
She quickly unlocked the door with the screwdriver, and allowed the prisoners to enter before her. Once the last prisoner was in, Amy hurried in and slammed the door shut behind her. She used the screwdriver to lock the door, and then flicked it up to check the readings.
"The sonic is telling me that the lock will only keep for ten minutes." She told the prisoners. "We need to hurry and find the teleport before the aliens get in here."
"Uh…ma'am?" A prisoner spoke up, pointing behind Amy. "I think we have a problem."
"What now?" Amy sighed, spinning around, only to come face to face with the tentacle alien that had kidnapped everyone to the base.
~I~
Fortunately for the Doctor, he wasn't lost for long, and he soon found the central room of the base. He paused outside of the door, readying himself, before bursting in.
"Hello! Hope I'm not too late for the party!" He announced cheerfully, grinning at the shocked aliens.
"Seize him!" One of the aliens shouted, and as they began to advance on the Doctor, he held up his hand.
"Whoa. That's a bit rude, isn't it? I'm a guest here!" The Doctor exclaimed, and the aliens paused in confusion.
"You're a prisoner." The alien from before said coldly, and the Doctor sighed.
"You lot are so unwelcoming. But what can I expect from an army of Philians?"
The alien gazed at him, his bug-like eyes calculating. "What do you want?"
"Hmm. Let me see." The Doctor pretended to think for a moment. "Ah yes! I want you lot to leave and let the prisoners go. Think you can do that for me?"
"Unacceptable." The alien said firmly.
"You're the leader of the Philians, am I not mistaken?" The Doctor demanded. "Let me give you some advice—"
"I do not take advice from someone beneath my position." The Philian leader hissed.
"Beneath your position?" The Doctor exploded, angry now. "Don't you know who I am yet?"
"I know exactly who you are, Doctor." The alien replied levelly. "And I also know that you are not supposed to be here. This situation here has nothing to do with you."
"You're mutilating these human prisoners and converting them into Philians. I can't let you do that." The Doctor said firmly.
The Philian leader's thin lips twisted into an ugly smile. "You can try and stop us. But if you do, we'll kill the prisoners, and that pretty little redhead you turned up with."
The Doctor's hearts churned, but he would not be blackmailed. "You can try, but I know that they're no longer here."
"I beg to differ." The Philian leader flicked a lever, and a screen appeared in front of them. "See this here?"
The Doctor stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw an image of the control room projected to him. He began to grow worried when he saw Amy standing directly in front of the alien that had kidnapped the prisoners.
"Not so powerful now, are you, Doctor?" The Philian leader drawled.
The Doctor smiled then, his anxiety fading away. "You're wrong. You underestimate who's in that room." His eyes remained on the screen, fixed on Amy. "And if I know my Pond, she'll know exactly what to do."
~I~
Amy didn't know what to do. She was frozen under the gaze of the alien. She knew that if she made one wrong move, the alien would kill her, and everyone else in the room.
"Hey fella." She said awkwardly, waving at the alien. "I hope you don't try to eat me, because I'm trying to save these people."
The alien blinked at her.
"Ma'am! The alien's chained!" One of the prisoners yelled, and Amy's eyes fell on the cuffs around the alien's tentacles.
"Oh you poor thing." Amy murmured. "You're the beetle's slave, aren't you? Don't worry; I'll get you out of here. I'll get everyone out of here."
Spinning around, she hurried over to the controls. "Teleport…teleport…where are you?" She muttered to herself.
Then her eyes fell on two discs that were situated in the centre of the control panel. "Bingo!" She exclaimed, grinning. "Right guys, are you ready to escape?"
There was a cheer from the prisoners, and Amy's grin widened as she typed in the teleportation code that the Doctor had given her.
~I~
"Not so smug now, are you?" The Doctor remarked, smirking at the Philian leader.
The alien leader shook its head. "Ah, but you forget who is still in charge." He reached out again and flicked another lever.
The Doctor could only watch helplessly as the tentacle alien's cuffs were released, causing the prisoners in the control room to scream.
Amy was the only person who stayed calm. "It won't hurt us!" The Doctor heard her yell over the shrieks of the prisoners.
"That's what she thinks. This Tentaclika is controlled by us." The Philian leader hissed, its eyes gleaming.
The Doctor's eyes were still locked on the screen, and a grin spread across his face when he saw the Tentaclika remain frozen. It wasn't going to hurt the prisoners.
"I think you've just released your 'pet' for eternity." He drawled. "Don't you remember the law about the electroskopt chains? Once released, you have no control over what you chained up."
"Seize him!" The Philian leader cried furiously, and two Philians grabbed the Doctor.
"So fellas, looks like there's no purpose of you staying here." The Doctor commented as the Philians dragged him away from their leader. "I'd leave now, if I were you."
"Or what?" The alien leader thundered.
"Or I'll force you to leave." The Doctor replied calmly, unfazed by the Philian's grip on him. "I've got rid of some of your colonies before. Don't think I won't do it again. So, run. Run, and don't look back."
The Philian leader stared levelly at him for a moment. "There is a war coming Doctor." He announced suddenly. "One war. And we're going to be ready."
"That's nice to hear, but not very relevant." The Doctor remarked, pushing away the Philians that were holding him. When they went to grab him again, the Philian leader held up one of it's arms, and they backed away from the Doctor.
"Maybe you should be ready too." The Philian leader said quietly.
The Doctor blinked in confusion, and that split second was enough time for the Philian Leader to push a button, teleporting all of the Philians away, leaving the Doctor alone in the room.
He looked away wildly, before his thoughts turned to Amy. He rushed over to the screen, and saw Amy alone in the control room.
"No Amy, wait!" He cried, just as he watched her teleport away.
Suddenly there was a loud crash, and the Doctor could only watch the screen in horror as the Tentaclika burst out of the control room and out into the water, sending water flooding in.
"Right," The Doctor muttered to himself, whirling around and heading towards the door. "If my calculations are correct…this room will be completely flooded in eleven minutes and…twenty…nineteen…eighteen…"
As soon as he opened the door to enter the rest of the base, he saw water barrelling towards him. "Okay, I really need to work on my calculations." He hissed, slamming the door again.
Although he could swim underwater, the chemicals in the water would weaken him instantly, due to the Tentaclika's presence in the water.
The Doctor began to secure the door as best he could, without the aid of his sonic screwdriver. "Come on Pond!" He muttered, deadlocking the door. "I need you to be the hero for once."
~I~
After travelling by teleportation disc, Amy decided she preferred the TARDIS. At least she didn't get motion sickness in it.
She, and the other prisoners, had been transported directly onto the beach, and she could have cried with relief when she saw that she was standing right beside the TARDIS. She hurried over to the doors, and unlocked the ship using her key.
"Right!" Amy announced as she walked in. "Let's go and rescue our man!"
She felt the TARDIS hum in agreement, and she began to type in the teleportation code to get back to the base.
~I~
Although the Doctor had locked the door, he had forgotten that water could seep underneath it. Cursing to himself in Galifreyan, he began to mop up the water with his tweed jacket.
He soon realised that action was useless, and as he backed away from the water, he heard the TARDIS appear behind him.
Grinning, he spun around and burst in through the doors, only to see Amy beaming at him from beside the console.
Throwing his sodden jacket aside, he strode up to her and flicked one of the levers in the console, taking the TARDIS to another part of the Universe. As he put the TARDIS on autopilot, he heard Amy giggle.
"So, how did I do?" She asked him playfully.
"You did pretty damn well Pond."
The Doctor opened his arms out to her, and Amy rushed forward, beaming. He swept her into his embrace and crushed her against him, peppering her face with kisses. Amy ended up grabbing his face and crushing her lips to his, and the Doctor sighed against her parted mouth.
Then he lifted her up into his arms and carried her up the console stairs, along the corridor, into the sheets of his bed, and into bliss.
Warning: The next few chapters are going to be drama-free (well, a bit) and fluffy. OH...and the moment you've been waiting for is coming...DUH...DUH...DUNNNN!
