Chapter 2 – The Eleventh Hour Part 2
"So where exactly are we commandeering this vehicle. Eh?" Scarlett questioned the Doctor. He stopped suddenly and Scarlett crashed into his back "Oooff" "Sorry" the Doctor said, "This is our ride" the Doctor was now pointing to a fire engine. "I think I take back what I previously said about my day getting better" Scarlett said, gulping while her words came out. "Don't worry I can drive" the Doctor sounded a bit over confident for Scarlett's taste. "That's what I am afraid of. According to Amy you can't drive your own ship".
-SCENE CHANGE-
In the hospital Rory and Amy were discussing the situation, they currently couldn't get into the hospital. "Something's happened up there. We can't get through." Rory was beginning to panic, if anyone could help them get in it was going to be the Doctor, "Yes, but what's happened?"Amy quipped back "I don't know. No one knows. Phone him."
"I'm phoning him. Doctor? We're at the hospital, but we can't get through." Amy was now panicking and Rory seemed to be going down the same route. They both cared for Scarlett, she was their best friend who they had known for quite awhile. "What did he say?" Rory asked, "Look in the mirror. Ha ha! Uniform. Are you on your way? You're going to need a car."Amy asked the Doctor. "Don't worry, we've commandeered a vehicle." The Doctor said through the phone "Yeah and I'm fine by the way, in case you were wondering" Amy could hear Scarlett retort. "Scarlett, Doctor glad you are both okay. But hurry". Rory and Amy ran up the stairs to the coma ward.
-SCENE CHANGE-
In the fire engine, or the fire engine of death as Scarlett had dubbed it due to the Doctors driving. "Look I know we need to get there in a but can you please slow down a little. I would like to get to the hospital alive and live another day" Scarlett was holding on for dear life and taking deep breaths to try and calm herself, but it really wasn't working. The Doctor was about to reply when the phone rang "Are you in?" he asked to Amy. "Yeah" was the reply, but there was a pause "But so's Prisoner Zero" Scarlett's eyes widen and she and the Doctor immediately said the same thing "You need to get out of there." Scarlett doesn't know why she said it, but she didn't like this Prisoner Zero and didn't want her friends to get hurt. "Amy? Amy, what's happening?" the Doctor asked "Amy, talk to me!""We're in the coma ward, but it's here. It's getting in. We have barred the doors, but I have a feeling that won't stop it" "Which window are you" the Doctor asked, okay Scarlett thought what is he planning "Doctor care to share?" Scarlett questioned "What, sorry?" Amy's voice sounded just as confused as Scarlett. "Which window?" the Doctor repeated. "First floor, on the left, fourth from the end." Amy replied. There was a bang and Scarlett could only guess that the door and whatever Amy and Rory had used to bar the door had failed and Prisoner Zero was now in the coma ward with them. The Doctor got Scarlett to text the word Duck! "What, why. DOCTOR WHY!" but the Doctor gave no reply. She did as she was told and sent the message to Amy. Scarlett looked up and saw that the fire engine's ladder was now at the same window Amy and Rory were. Hopefully they got the message as Scarlett had finally figured the Doctor's plan. The ladder crashed through the window and both Scarlett and the Doctor hopped on and walked across to the ward."Right! Hello. Am I late? No, three minutes to go. So still time." The Doctor said, now brushing off "Hey guys" Scarlett said.
"Time for what, Time Lord?" the woman asked, "Erm who is this?" Scarlett asked to anyone who would give her an answer. "Take the disguise off. They'll find you in a heartbeat. Nobody dies." The Doctor asked (this is now a convo between the Doctor and Prisoner Zero)
"The Atraxi will kill me this time. If I am to die, let there be fire."
" Okay. You came to this world by opening a crack in space and time. Do it again. Just leave."
" I did not open the crack."
"Somebody did."
" The cracks in the skin of the universe, don't you know where they came from? You don't, do you?" suddenly she changed her voice to a little girls. "Okay that was creepy" Scarlett said, Amy and Rory just nodded "this is officially a very weird day for me" "I can vouch for that too" Rory said
"The Doctor in the Tardis doesn't know. Doesn't know. Doesn't know!" the girl teased and switched back to the woman's voice "The universe is cracked. The Pandorica will open. Silence will fall."
" And we're off! Look at that. Look at that!" Everyone looked to the clock and it said 0:00
" Yeah, I know, just a clock. Whatever. But do you know what's happening right now? In one little bedroom, my team are working. Jeff and the world. And do you know what they're doing? They're spreading the word all over the world, quantum fast. The word is out. And do you know what the word is? The word is Zero. Now, me, if I was up in the sky in a battleship, monitoring all Earth communications, I'd probably take that as a hint. And if I had a whole battle fleet surrounding the planet, I'd be able track a simple old computer virus to its source in, what, under a minute? The source, by the way, is right here." The Doctor said. That was really impressive Scarlett thought "Wow" she breathed. Suddenly there was a bright light from outside. "Oh! And I think they just found us!" the Doctor shouted
"The Atraxi are limited. While I'm in this form, they'll still be unable to detect me. They've tracked a phone, not me." Prisoner Zero mocked
" Yeah, but this is the good bit. I mean, this is my favourite bit. Do you know what this phone is full of? Pictures of you. Every form you've learned to take, right here. Ooo, and being uploaded about now. And the final score is, no Tardis, no screwdriver, two minutes to spare. Who da man? Oh, I'm never saying that again." Everyone shook their heads, while Amy and Scarlett gave a look of pure disgust, "Nope, never" Scarlett said. "Then I shall take a new form." Prisoner Zero said.
"Oh, stop it. You know you can't. It takes months to form that kind of psychic link."
"And I've had years." She said with a smile, that was rather creepy. Suddenly Amy collapsed and Scarlett started to feel faint. "No! Amy? You've got to hold on. Amy? Don't sleep! You've got to stay awake, please." Both Rory and the Doctor knelt beside Amy, but the Doctor looked at Scarlett "Scarlett are you okay" he sounded genuinely concerned "Yeah, I'm fine really. Just a headache. Over soon" Scarlett was now out of breath, but she had no idea. There was suddenly this faded voice in the background that she couldn't make out. "Doctor." Rory was now looking to where Prisoner Zero was stood and had now transformed in THE DOCTOR? "Well, that's rubbish. Who's that supposed to be?" Seriously he didn't know who that was. "It's you." Rory stated
"Me? Is that what I look like?" the Doctor said
"You don't know?" Scarlett questioned "I think it's rather, sexy. In a goofy, quirky way" she winked at the Doctor. The Doctor responded "Busy day." He winked back at Scarlett "Why me, though? You're linked with her. Why are you copying me?" Suddenly a younger version of Amy was holding duplicates Doctors hand. "I'm not. Poor Amy Pond. Still such a child inside. Dreaming of the magic Doctor she knows will return to save her. What a disappointment you've been." Amelia was now teasing everyone in the room and Scarlett's headache got bigger "AAAHHH" she screamed "No, she's dreaming about me because she can hear me. Amy, don't just hear me, listen. Remember the room, the room in your house you couldn't see. Remember you went inside. I tried to stop, but you did. You went in the room. You went inside. Amy, dream about what you saw." The Doctor was now on his knees pleading with Amy to stopping listening, while Rory went over to Scarlett "You okay?" he asked "Yeah, I'm fine" she replied "No. No. No!" Amelia screamed and transformed back to a purple looking worm, It was creepy. "Well done, Prisoner Zero. A perfect impersonation of yourself." The Doctor said smiling and triumphant smile. "Prisoner Zero is located. Prisoner Zero is restrained." The Atraxi said, if I didn't have a headache that would really freak me out Scarlett thought. "Silence, Doctor. Silence will fall." Zero attempted to scare the Doctor, and disappeared into the air. "The sun. It's back to normal, right? That's, that's good, yeah? That means it's over." Amy began to wake up
" Amy. Are you okay? Are you with us?" Rory asked her.
"What happened?" she asked
"He did it. The Doctor did it."
"No, I didn't." The doctor replied, he was serious now
"What are you doing?" Rory asked
"Tracking the signal back. Sorry in advance." The Doctor asked
"About what?"
"The bill." The Doctor placed the phone to his ear and talked "Oi, I didn't say you could go! Article fifty seven of the Shadow Proclamation. This is a fully established level five planet, and you were going to burn it? What? Did you think no-one was watching? You lot, back here, now. Okay, now I've done it."
"Did he just bring them back? Did he just save the world from aliens and then bring all the aliens back again?" Rory asked and all Amy could do was simply nod her head. Scarlett attempted to get up from where she was sat, but immediately fell down. The Doctor caught her with ease. "Scarlett? SCARLETT!" he screamed. Amy and Rory ran over to the commotion "Doctor what's wrong with her" Amy asked "I don't know, Scarlett wake up. Please" he pleaded, concern running through his words. Scarlett's head was lying in the Doctor's lap. "I have Atraxi to deal with" he picked Scarlett up and preceded to travel towards the stairs that would led to the roof. Amy and Rory behind, concerned for the wellbeing of their friend.
More soon people. So what has happened to Scarlett. Any theories?
