Sorry for the long wait! Just had to get things sorted. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I don't own Doctor Who.
The Doctor's eyes snapped open and he stumbled into Nina. "Sorry!" He said as he righted his self. He rubbed his forehead. "How long have I been out?" He asked Nina. He turned to Clara's unconscious form and ran up to her, making sure he hadn't hurt her too much when he had punched her.
"You haven't been out at all. You just blinked. Why the hell did you punch Clara?! Is that planner thing out of your system now?" Nina asked, crossing her arms.
The Doctor frowned as he found no trace of his fist connecting with Clara's jaw. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and started readjusting the frequencies. "Not for good, um, he'll come back after I help Clara and explain to the both of you what's going on." He said, pointing the sonic at Clara and sending a shock through her body.
Nina walked up to him, frowning. "Why'd you do that for?" She asked, punching him in the shoulder.
"Ow!" He rubbed his shoulder with his free hand. "It was just a low frequency shock to exterminate any trace of the Cyber Planner from her system. She'll wake up in a second, but first I um…"
"You what?" Nina asked.
He scratched the back of his head as he said, "I might have to convert you into a Cyber Planner." He quickly got out of punching distance from Nina and grabbed the electronically altered earrings.
"You have to what?!" She snatched the earrings away from him. "Look, you are going to explain to me what the hell is going on before you do anything."
"Nina, I will, once I convert you. This is just the way it has to be done!" He said, taking the earrings away from her and sonicing them.
She took them back as Clara started to stir and said, "No way! You…" She looked down at the earrings in her hand and then back up to the worried looking Doctor. "Oh shit. This is going to do what I think it's going to do isn't it?" She asked, dropping the earrings and sighing.
The Doctor gulped and nodded. "Yeah, I'm sorry." He walked back up to Clara as she started to mumble. "It's okay, Clara. I'm here. It's all okay." He said, cupping her cheeks tenderly.
She squinted at him, coughed, and stood up straight. "Was I…? Are you?" She turned her head to Nina who was now pacing the room. "What's going on?" She asked finally.
He tilted his head as he thought. "Um, I'm about to explain that, as soon as Nina… finishes."
Clara stood up. "Finishes what?" She asked.
Nina turned to her with an evil smirk. "Finishes converting into a sexy Cyber Planner, sweet heart. I'm glad to say that the process has been completed. Oh, you are quite the beautiful creature, you are." She said as she walked up to Clara, her hips swaying.
Clara glared at the Doctor. He raised his hands up in defense as he spluttered, "I can explain! Um, well, you see me and Clever kind of, made a deal."
"Oh spit it out." Cyber-Nina muttered.
He sighed and put his hands at his sides. "Here's the deal. Clara, you get to be your normal human self, and Nina gets to be a Cyber Planner, and you two have to fight… to the death. It's a sort of mini Hunger Games type thing, except instead of a large arena you'll be roaming the TARDIS, and I won't be able to send care packages or any sort of help." He paused, allowing them to take in what he had just said. He continued, "The TARDIS, as you both know, is much bigger on the inside, and there will be many different obstacles and deterrents to try to… kill you, I suppose. The winner is the person, or Cyber Planner, that can kill the other first." He gulped before continuing, "If Clara wins then we both get our bodies back and Mr. Clever will leave us alone, hopefully. If Nina wins, well, she gets converted into a cyberman, Clara gets healed and turned into a Cyber Planner, and Clever keeps my body."
Cyber-Nina smiled coldly as Clara started timidly shaking. "So, basically I have to kill one of my best friends, or die. And if I die we're all screwed, and if I live there is a possibility that we will still be screwed." Clara said, taking in a deep breath.
The Doctor nodded. "Pretty much. Now, there's not much time left, Clara listen to me." He walked up to her and cupped her cheeks once more. "Trust your instincts, and don't listen to what Nina says. She isn't your friend at the moment, and she won't hesitate to kill you. Lastly…"
His body jerked and Clever was back. "Let him finish!" Clara said, taking a step away from Clever.
Clever shook his head as he said, "Oh, it was just meaningless stuff about him loving you and blah blah blah." He smiled coldly at the two in front of him. "Now, time for the games to begin." He clapped his hands and the room went black.
ooooOOOoooo
When Clara could see again she was in a garden. She looked around for any signs of Cyber-Nina, but sighed when she saw only the variations of flowers and shrubbery. She knew she was still in the TARDIS, somewhere. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a black t-shirt with a number eleven on the left, a slick dark jacket, and dark green trousers. Very similar to the outfit Katniss had worn in the Hunger Games movie. Her hair was even in a braid. "He really does go the whole nine yards." She muttered, checking her pockets for any sort of weapon. She could only find a small army knife.
She pulled it out and sighed. "Well, guess I'll have to learn how to use this then." She spoke to herself, looking around the garden. She didn't see anything too exciting, so she started carefully making her way through it. She checked over her shoulder every so often, making sure nothing snuck up on her. She nodded contentedly as she found that she was no longer in the garden, but in a forest. "I should probably be expecting this to happen a lot more." She muttered, looking around the new environment.

"Ugh, change it to Cyber-Nina's screen. Clara is so boring!" Clever said to the computer in front of him. He got a nice view of Cyber-Nina as she hopped through the trees, somehow already having equipped a bow and arrows. Clever smiled. "That's my girl."
His head jerked slightly as the Doctor frowned and said, "How did she already get a bow?! It's literally been only five minutes!" He worriedly studied the screen.
"Oh, stop complaining. She does have the clever mind of a Cyber Planner." Clever stated.
The Doctor frowned as he observed the screen. "Can we switch it back to Clara?" He asked, hoping the computer would listen to him.
Clever stopped the computer from switching views and said, "No, Cyber-Nina is much more interesting." He smiled at the screen. "Oh, look at what we have here."

Cyber-Nina paused as she heard the sound of rustling leaves. She readied an arrow and stayed unseen, hidden by the many leaves of the tree she was currently sitting in. She thought she saw a hint of black against the autumn leaves, similar to the color of her shirt that had a large letter 'C' on the left side, but it was gone as quick as it had appeared. She squinted, attempting to get a better view, but saw nothing more than grass and leaves.
She carefully lowered herself from the tree, making little to no noise, and walked towards where she had seen the dark color. Her bow was low, but still acutely aimed, ready to be fired. She came upon a rather big tree, and held her breath as she slowly walked up. She heard more rustling, and she saw a flap of what looked to be similar to her own jacket. She smirked before rounding the tree, bow aimed high, but frowned when nothing was there. She lowered her bow, looking up at the tree but still seeing nothing.
"Damn." She muttered, before turning around, only to be faced by a snarling wolf. She raised her bow but was too slow. The wolf knocked her down and snapped at her face, her arms the only thing holding it back.
As the wolf's jaws got closer and closer she squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to overpower it. Although she was a Cyber Planner she hadn't any extra strength, the Doctor must've thought that to be cheating, so she was unable. She cried out as the wolf's snapping was only getting closer. "Nina!" She heard a voice call. Before she knew what was happing the wolf was off of her and on the ground beside her, a small knife jutting out from the top of its head, blood dripping down from it.
She looked up to see a wide eyed Clara staring down at the wolf, and then at Cyber-Nina. Clara breathed out before quickly turning to pick up the bow and a single arrow from the ground and running off, Cyber-Nina not too far behind. "Give that back!" Cyber-Nina called.
Clara just kept running, weaving through the trees and keeping her steps carefully placed. She might be small, but she had still been the best runner in junior high. "I just saved your life!" She managed to call back, still maintaining her speed.
Cyber-Nina ignored her, gaining speed and coming up behind her, almost reaching out when she noticed the large canyon ahead of them. She stopped in her tracks quickly, allowing Clara to keep running unknowingly of the large dropping ahead of her. She smirked as Clara finally looked up, seeing the canyon.
She couldn't stop in time, the bow falling in first, then the arrow, and then Clara.

"Clara!" The Doctor yelled at the screen as he watched her make the long and dark descent. "No." He breathed, looking away from the screen. He shook his head as he said, "No, it can't be over this quick. It's just started. No."
His head jerked back to the screen as Clever smiled. "Good girl, chasing Clara into a dark and scary pit, four for you!" He watched as the screen was focused on Cyber-Nina. She was smiling triumphantly at the canyon.
His head jerked again as the Doctor turned away. He put his head in his hands and kept muttering 'no' over and over. He finally looked back up to the screen, where it displayed Cyber-Nina going back to get the knife from the wolf. "No, she still has to be alive. It can't end already."
He squeezed his eyes shut as Clever clapped. "I'm afraid I've won, Doctor. Now, if you don't mind I…"
His head jerked back. The Doctor looked back at the screen and said, "Wait! Look! Oh my god."
Cliffhanger, kind of. I hope you enjoyed and please review to tell me what you think!
