Chapter 15
The TARDIS lands outside the Carrionites house just as the Torchwood SUV arrives, standing outside of the two vehicles the Doctor, Sarah and the Torchwood team try to come up with a plan.
"What are you gonna do?" asked Ianto.
"I say we set explosives, get Gwen out and blow these things to pieces" answered an angry Owen.
"No, no guns, no explosives, I have something that'll work a whole lot better" said the Doctor.
"And what's that?"
"This" answered the Doctor while looking at his right index finger.
In the room the Carrionites are keeping Gwen, the Doctor and storms in followed by his friends.
"Hello again" says the Carrionite closest to the group.
"You took my friend, now giver her back, or you know what I must do" demanded the Doctor.
The second Carrionite then says "We'd happily give her back, but I don't think they do".
That is when a group of 13 men and women come into the room, surround the group and point guns at them. "You see Time-Lord, you're not the only one requires help from time to time. Now sister, activate the portal"
Suddenly a big blue portal, shining like crystals appears behind the two Carrionites "So where does that open to Doc?" asks Jack.
"I can hazard a guess"
"It opens to the place where you hid our sisters, we will get them back and we will bring about the age of blood".
"Oh you wanna bet" the Doctor then presses a button on his sonic causing the drone people to drop their heads and stop moving, then he squeezes out of the circle, as do the others. Then a bunch of other Carrionites are seen in the portal and before they can get out of it, the Doctor says to the two in the room "You asked for this". Raising his left arm and pointing at them and continuing with "I look upon these nights and name thee Carrionites".
The two witches then scream and explode, sending a shoot of sparks up through the ceiling and out through the roof.
"Quick Doctor, the portal" reminds Sarah.
"Oh right, hold on", he then points the Sonic at the portal and closes it.
Tosh goes over to Gwen and unties her, "Doctor what was with that rhyme you did a minute ago, the one that made them explode?" inquired Gwen.
"There's power in a name"
"Come on, let's go" says Tosh.
Outside, just as they have left the garden of the house, Madame Lenora and a group of four Judoon teleport down from their ship. "Ah, Madame Lenora, turns out we didn't need you, funny that isn't it. However there was a slight problem with an explosion so could you use your equipment to erase the memories of that incident from the minds of everyone within a 15 mile radius?" asks the Doctor.
"Of course, and Doctor, if you ever need help again, the Proclamation is always ready"
She and the Judoon then teleport back to their ship. "So Doctor, I believe this is goodbye again" says Jack, offering his hand out to his friend.
The Doctor shakes Jacks hand and replies "Not goodbye, merely farewell for now".
The other members of Torchwood then whisper amongst themselves and Jack asks them what's up. "You should go Jack" says Owen.
"What?"
"Jack, you wouldn't be you if you didn't disappear for a while, and besides even the devil himself knows that you're not sane if you stay on Earth for long periods. You need to go out there, see the stars". explains Tosh.
"You sure?"
"We can manage, we have before" Ianto assures him.
"Okay, what do you say Doc, can I tag along for a bit?"
"You know what, yeah, why not? It'd be a pleasure to have you aboard again Captain".
"Great, I'll be back soon guys, I promise".
"Just go, enjoy yourself" they say.
"Come on then you two, adventure awaits" addresses the Doctor.
Sarah and Jack then follow him inside the TARDIS and they fly off into the vortex for an adventure or two.
