A/N - Thank you guys for the reviews, favourites and alerts! Let me know in your reviews if there's any flash backs you want me to put in, 9 and Martha, 10 and Martha etc. :)
The Doctor leaned his towards his hand in a jar and the regeneration energy flooded into it before he threw himself back and breathed heavily, looking at everyone, exactly the same man.
"Now then, where were we?" The Doctor asked, jumping up straight. "You see? Used the regeneration energy to heal myself, but soon as I was done, I didn't need to change. I didn't want to, why would I? Look at me! So, to stop the energy going all the way, I siphoned off the rest into a handy bio-matching receptacle, namely, my hand, my hand there, my handy spare hand!" He explained to everyone before looking at Martha. "Remember, Christmas Day, Sycorax, lost my hand in a sword fight? That's my hand. What d'you think?"
"Don't ever scare me like that again." Martha said, breathing in sharply.
"Martha Jones." The Doctor said, barely able to believe she was standing in front of him again.
"Doctor Martha Jones, thank you very much." Martha said, grinning.
"You became a Doctor?" He asked in awe, very much like when he asked Harriet Jones if she'd won the election.
"World doesn't stop Doctor." Martha said sadly before The Doctor rushed forward and picked her up in a hug, spinning her around. That's when the console room went dark.
"They've got us!" The Doctor panicked, putting Martha down and running to the console, trying to power up again. "Some sort of chronon loop."
"There's a massive Dalek ship at the centre of the planets. They're calling it the Crucible. Guess that's our destination." Jack explained as The TARDIS started to move.
"You said these planets were like an engine. But what for?" Rose asked.
"Martha! You've been in a parallel world, that world's running ahead of this universe. You've seen the future. What was it?"
"It's the darkness." Martha said calmly, trying not to worry The Doctor.
"The stars were going out." Donna mumbled, remembering the parallel world.
"One by one. They just burnt, gone! Basically, we built this thing, this Dimension Cannon. So I could..."
"What?"
"So I could come back." Martha snapped jokily as The Doctor grinned at her. "Shut it you. Anyway, suddenly, it started to work and the dimensions started to collapse. Not just in our world, not just in yours, but the whole of reality. Even the Void was dead."
"In that parallel world... you said something about me." Donna said.
"The Dimension Cannon could measure timelines, and it's... it's weird, Donna, but they all seemed to converge on well, you."
"But why me? I mean, what have I ever done? I'm a temp. From Chiswick!"
"The Dalek Crucible. All aboard!" The Doctor sighed as the scanner beeped.
"The TARDIS is secured." They heard a Dalek say from outside. "Doctor, you will step forth or die."
"We'll have to go out. Cos if we don't, they'll get in."
"But last time, the shielding?" Martha asked.
"You've got extrapolator shielding!" Jack said, remembering when they fought the Daleks a long time ago, back in his 9th regeneration.
"Last time we fought the Daleks, they were scavengers and hybrids and mad. But this is a fully-fledged Dalek Empire, at the height of its power. Experts at fighting TARDISes, they can do anything. Right now, that wooden door... is just wood."
"What about your Dimension Jump?"
"It needs another 20 minutes, and I'm not leaving Captain Jack Harkness!" Martha said stubbornly as Jack smiled at her, he'd missed his best friend.
"What about your teleport?"
"Went down with the power loss."
"Right, then, all of us together... Yeah."
"Donna?" Rose asked, shaking her shoulder.
"Donna?" The Doctor asked.
"Hm?" Donna asked, snapping out of the little world of her own.
"I'm sorry. There's nothing else we can do."
"I know."
"Surrender, Doctor, and face your Dalek masters." The supreme Dalek called through.
"Daleks."
"Oh, God!" Jack chuckled.
WIt's been good, though, hasn't it? All of us, all of it. Everything we did. You were brilliant." The Doctor said to Donna. "And you were brilliant." He said to Rose. "And you were brilliant." He said to Jack before grinning at Martha. "And you were brilliant. Blimey!"
"Daleks reign supreme. All hail the Daleks!" The Dalek army screeched as they stepped out of The TARDIS.
"Behold, Doctor! Behold the might of the true Dalek race!"
"Donna, you're no safer in there." The Doctor called back before The TARDIS doors slammed. "What?" He shouted, running to the door and trying to pull it open.
"Doctor? What have you done?"
"It wasn't me, I didn't do anything! What did you do?"
"This is not of Dalek origin."
"Doctor!"
"Stop it! She's my friend, now open the door and let her out!"
"This is Time Lord treachery."
"Me? The door just closed on its own!"
"Nevertheless, the TARDIS is a weapon and it will be destroyed." The Supreme Dalek said before a trap door opened and The TARDIS dropped through the floor into it.
"NO!" Martha shouted, running towards it only to be pulled back by The Doctor.
"But Donna's still in there!" Rose shouted.
"The female and the TARDIS will perish together. Observe!" A screen appeared on the wall, showing The TARDIS being dropped into the core of the crucible. "The last child of Gallifrey is powerless."
"Please, I'm begging you, I'll do anything! Put me in her place, you can do anything to me, I don't care, just get her out of there!"
"You are connected to the TARDIS. Now feel it die!" The Supreme Dalek cheered as Martha walked up to The Doctor with tears in her eyes and squeezed his hand.
