"Bargaining chip." Marcus jumped to sit in the throne and click his fingers at her. Phil frowned and put her hands in her pockets. She didn't exactly agree with his words, Doctor didn't either as he walked up to the throne.
"Listen and listen well," he said while Marcus looked up at him boredly. "You're going to get subjected to a lecture because I don't think you'll listen." He pointed at the man, Phil rolled her eyes and got prepared to listen to the lecture too.
"These people that you only see in two categories have to be let free. Do you know why? Of course you don't know why because do you know what you are?" He questioned. "Narrow minded!" Doctor exclaimed and grinned, taking a step away he walked back up to Phil who nodded happy to see his lecture wasn't as long as she thought it would be. "You're narrow minded and stupid!"
"Is insulting his intelligence wise considering he has hostages?" Phil whispered up at him, Doctor looked at her hesitantly and shook his head.
"It's not wise but he won't do anything."
"Hate to bring this up now, but you took for granted that a certain someone would put down a gun and look what happened."
"Oh you're such a downer! A good thing happened from it! Seriously," Doctor rolled his eyes but did take into consideration of what she said. "You won't hurt them because you said two words earlier on."
"So?"
"So! You're scheming up a little plan are you not? A plan involving a certain princess? It won't happen do you know why?" Doctor paused, "Go on and ask why, I really want you to ask why."
"Why?" Marcus sighed seeming getting more and more annoyed by Doctor strolling to and fro and every so often pointing in his direction.
"Because of us." Doctor grinned and crossed his arms, he gave the seated man a defiant nod, Phil who still stood with her hands in her pockets nodded too. This just sent Marcus into a fit of laughter, Doctor sighed and shook his head, "You're not meant to laugh at us! We're being serious."
"Our seriousness is something which you shouldn't mock."
"You're really not helping," Doctor pointed at Phil who was trying hard not to laugh, laughter was contagious. She mouthed a sorry and looked back up at the ceiling at the people hanging up there, "But in all seriousness," Doctor looked back to Marcus, "You're a narrow minded idiot, if you wanted somewhere to stay why couldn't you just like everyone else just...move in? Buy a nice house and move on in and live?"
"Because this place is so corrupt."
"You're going to make it worse. Your government is so twisted it's got my turns than a pretzel." Doctor nodded and walked back to stand next to Phil, "People are awful at making decisions that I can admit to, and I can honestly see why you thinking taking over the monarchy could be a good thing. But it's really not, your honestly going to destroy this planet."
"Then we'll move."
"No you won't!" Doctor exclaimed at him, "I'm standing here indirectly saying I will help you find somewhere to live. Or some how manage to coincide living on this planet."
"And you want me to just take that deal?"
"Yes. I do because I don't like where the other option leads to."
"Well what does she think about it," Marcus nodded behind the two of them, standing glaring towards him was Jade. "She doesn't look like she agrees with your little plan." He said while getting more comfy, Jade walked past them much to there displeasure.
"Let them go."
"Why?"
"Because from the very start it wasn't them you wanted."
"True," Marcus gave a shrug, "Interbreeding is an interesting avenue to go down."
"Ew," Phil said quietly while crossing her arms and looking at the two, eventually though after getting stared at by the three of them Marcus agreed to let the royal family and servants down from the ceiling.
They were all unconscious but for the better part were all in a fit state, the elongated figures towered easily over Jade as she stood glaring at their leader. Jade took a step back and pulled an arm out from her cloak, instantly recognizing the object she was holding Doctor ran over and stood next to them both.
"Let it go." He said regarding the gun she had held at Marcus's head, he just grinned and waved a hand at the figures beside him, they made a terrible screeching noise which made the three of them cover their ears.
Taking the opportunity Marcus ran out of the room followed by the few members of his species, once the initial ringing had finished they all looked around. "He ran away?" Phil pointed out obviously while walking over to the laying figures on the floor.
"They're all fine," Phil said after she'd checked the prince and queen's pulses, she looked up at the two of them when they didn't answer. Doctor was to busy glaring at Jade, and Jade was to busy side wards glaring at him. "Huh it seems we have a Mexican stand off." Phil sat down cross legged on the floor and looked at the two of them again.
"Can you two perhaps reschedule your glaring match for another time? We have unconscious people over here which will be waking up soon and will need an explanation." Phil pointed out obviously again, Doctor shook his head and walked over to her. Looking up she waved, "Hi."
Rolling his eyes he crouched down next to her and scanned over the people next to her, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine why?"
"You're acting strange."
"Stranger?"
"You were never strange acting before, just...withdrawn."
"What are you saying?" Phil asked while taking to kneeling beside him and watching him scan over the people to double check they were all hundred percent alright. He stopped scanning a servant and looked at her seriously, "I'm merely saying that your character has changed again."
"And?"
"And I believe there may be more TARDIS energy in your than we first thought. She really did save your life, which means you really would have died without her help."
"Excuse me?" Jade said from behind them, they looked over their shoulders at her. "Are they alright?"
"Yes! They're all going to be fine they will wake up soon and you better think of a good reason as to why they're on the floor." Doctor stood up and helped Phil stand up too, the two of them bowed slightly to her and exited the room.
"They'll be underground." Doctor said while strolling down a street, Phil ran after him secretly cursing him for being tall and having long legs to do long strides. "How does the amount of energy I have in me change how I act?" Phil piped up, stopping walking and turning to look at her he sighed. Running a hand through his hair he opened his mouth to answer only to shut it again and turned to continue walking. Phil walked quickly to catch up with him, "You changed on your own after being stuck with my brilliant company, now you've changed because of a foreign energy being in you."
"Is that a bad thing really?"
"No! No no it's actually very awesome," Doctor grinned and looked down at her. He couldn't think of anything more entertaining and fun than having a small snippet of his longest companion being in his newest friend. After all there was only one person who truly understood him the best and that was the TARDIS. "Now they'll be underground so I suggest we go underground too!"
