The Doctor and Donna returned to the library just as the sun was setting. Both of them were toting two large cylindrically shaped metal objects.

"These devices will create a containment field," The Doctor explained, "We will set these up around the teleportation platform, that these two gentlemen," The Doctor nodded to Giles and Xander, who had just walked in carrying a platform, large enough to hold two people, "Took the liberty of digging up for us earlier today, thank you for that by the way," The looks they were giving the man said that digging up, lifting and hauling the extremely heavy object from the graveyard deserved much more than a thank you.

"I thought you said that digging that thing up wouldn't help." Buffy stated

"No I said that they will have more than one set up, now we could locate and unearth every single teleportation platform or-"

"No way! The Xan-man is done with the excavating and the back-breaking work of heaving that thing back here!"

"I have to agree with Xander, surely there is another way of-of capturing these Sontarans without disabling all of the devices." Giles said using his hankerchief to wipe his forehead

"Or..."

"I could use a summoning spells to bring forth all of the other platforms," Willow said while she flipped through a book of spells, "Oh but we would have to wait for the eve of the winter solciste, and by then the Sontarans might be done with their plans."

"Or..."

"Wait you knew about this spell all along, yet you made me and Giles do manual labour?"

"OR..."

"Well excuse me, mister but it wasn't my idea that you guys go and dig it up!"

"OR!..."

"Hey yeah Xander, it was your idea," Buffy pointed out, " You said it would be a good time to do the manly bonding thing with Giles!"

"Well you guys are completely missing the point. You see-"

"OI! The Sontarans are gonna be here any minute now!" The Doctor shouted finally losing his patience with these people, "Do you want the alternative or would you rather just keep bickering while the world ends?"

"Alternative to what?" Buffy asked curiously.

The Doctor stared at her for a long moment before slamming his head against the table. Had these people seriously averted the world from ending more than once?

"Donna," He said weakly, "Will you help me set these around the platform? Donna?" Donna was staring at the book cage were Oz was fully in his wolf form.

"Doctor, it's a werewolf!"

"Yes it is Donna and it's also very impolite to stare."

"But Doctor, he's a werewolf!"

"Donna last week we were at a party with Agatha Christie, where she lost her memory at the hands of a giant wasp."

"Right sorry, what were we talking about?"

"I wish I knew." The Doctor and Donna set the cones up at each of the corners of the platform.

"Now what it should happen is: when our friend the Sontaran reappears, we flip the switch and WHAM! The platform is inactive and the Sontaran has no way of escape."

"Ok so we capture it... then what?" Buffy asked.

"We question it, find out what they're planning."

"Question it. What are we gonna give it tea and crackers too?" Faith scoffed "I mean do these things even speak English?"

"No they speak Sontaran but the TARDIS's universal language translator will translate everything they're saying into English."

"But don't speak Sontaran back to them because it comes out Welsh." Donna added smartly.

Before anyone could comment on this, the platform began to glow a light orange. Seconds passed and then a Sontaran appeared holding a large blasting gun. A blue, glowing enclosure appeared around him.

"TREACHERY!" The alien cried through his helmet the moment he saw where he was.

The Sontaran pressed something on his arm but nothing happened.

"That won't work Sontaran, you're in a containment field, where you'll stay unless you tell me what I want to hear."

"DO YOUR WORST HUMAN! I AM SONTARAN NO AMOUNT OF TORTURE WILL EVER BREAK ME, SONTAR-HA!"

"There'll be no torturing here, well unless this group here starts aruging again. No all I want is a few answers, let's start with your name shall we?"

"Listen here alien. You have been caught entering our planets airspace, in doing so you have threatened the beginning of an intergalactic war, as a member of the Watchers Council I demand that you and any other of your species leave immediately or we shall have to use force," Wesley said "I must warn you I have my yellow belt in karate."

"THIS ONE SPEAKS LIKE A WARRIOR, IT SHALL BE A SHAME TO WATCH HIM DIE!"

"Excuse me Sontaran but I believe I asked you for your name."

"I AM COMMANDER STAAL!"

"Good to meet you Commander, I'm The Doctor. Staal? Hmm you know I do believe you'll be getting a promotion one day.."

"I SHALL BE RECEIVING A PROMOTION IN THREE DAYS ONCE THIS WORLD IS NO MORE!"

"I've got an idea, why don't we kill the overgrown tuber and send his corpse back as a warning to the rest of the garden." Faith moved menacingly towards Staal.

"HA! YOU MAKE ME LAUGH, MY EXSISTENCE SHALL NOT BE ENDED AT THE HANDS OF A HUMANOID ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS FEMALE!"

"What you think 'cause I'm a girl I can't kick you're yam shaped ass from here to Pluto?"

"Now Faith this situation must be dealt with delicately." Wesley said severely.

"Stay out of this poncey." Faith growled.

"I beg your pardon?"

"You heard me, nobody wants you here; so why don't you do us all a favour and leave."

"Faith, I am your watcher!"

"Yeah well why don't you shut up and watch while I turn this guy into a mashed potato."

"ENOUGH, RELEASE ME OR DO BATTLE BUT STOP THIS USELESS BLATHERING!"

"I told you it was torturous, tell me Commander what are the Sontarans planning?"

"I SHALL NEVER TELL YOU DOCTOR, SONTAR-HA, SONTAR-HA, SONTAR-HA, SONTAR-"

"Please stop, I hate when your people do that, all right tell you what Commander the only way I'm releasing you is if you tell me what you're planning."

One of the cones began to spark, there was a loud bang and the containment field disappeared.

"Or if that happens."

"Doctor what do we do?" Donna shouted.

"This!" He pointed his sonic at the Sontarans gun which promptly switched off, "RUN!" Everyone ran from the library and headed towards the schools exit.


"Stopstopstopstop, Here! Here!" The Doctor wrenched open the door to the TARDIS.

"Wait!" Willow cried, "What about Oz?" A bright flash of light followed by pained howling came from the school.

"OZ!" Willow began to run back toward the school. The Doctor and Giles grabbed her.

"LET ME GO! OZ! OZ!" She screamed as tears poured down her face.

"I'm sorry Willow, I'm so sorry, but there's nothing we can do for him now."


Please don't forget to review, I'd love to hear what people have to say, only one person has reviewed and I'm starting to be afraid that it's been really terrible since chapter one,sorry about the Wesley bashing he's actually one of my favourite characters on Angel but when he was on Buffy I just thought he was a stuck up jerk... maybe I'll have him prove himself in one of the next chapters.
