I don't want to say this much this time. Here is chapter 27 for you.
Read and ( hopefully ) enjoy.
The Doctor's part:
Meanwhile, Jackson Lake, the Doctor and Rosita have reached the basement from the building, where the cybermen had disappeared with Rose. When they finally had managed to get inside the basement, the machines were already waiting for them. Of course, they tried to kill the Doctor, Jackson and Rosita in the first moment they saw them. But determined, to find Rose and stop Miss Hartigans plans, they destroyed the Cybermen with the info stamps.
Now, where nothing could be a possible danger for them anymore, the Doctor scanned the basement for something that could be helpful. He only wished his Rose would be at his side. Then there wouldn't be this horrible feeling, that he blocked behind a wall inside him as good as he could. But when it came through this wall, five words always repeated in his head, and stab right into both of his hearts... They could have killed her... They could have killed her... They could have killed her… Again and again...
The universe never had been fair to him. So often. He nearly have lost her so many times. And one time, this nightmare even had become true.
The Doctor pushed the thoughts away as fast as he could. He didn't want to believe in this. He couldn't...
He had been sunk so deep in his thoughts, that he noticed only now, that he stood right in front of a dalek-technology-looking-thing-y in the middle of the room. The Cybermen obviously have supervised it.
The Doctor knelt down to take a closer look at it.
'' An dimension cannon. The Daleks jump with it through the time.'' he explained to Rosita and Jackson. The Doctor turned around to Jackson. '' Is this the last part of the puzzle you have forgotten?'' he asked him. Rosita gaze fell on Jackson now, too. The Doctor and her, both of them waiting for an answer.
Jackson thought about it for a moment, but this clearly wasn't the one thing, that was still missing in his mind. He breathed out heavily, frustrated that he hadn't found an answer again. He shook his head. '' I don't think so...'' After a few seconds he added. '' The better question is, Doctor, what do we need, this dimension cannon for?''
The Doctor didn't answer. Suddenly he hopped up to his feet again, like an idea has hit his mind. He pushed the right buttons on the dimension cannon but the device only beeped. The Doctor grumbled annoyed. ''Aw, not enough energy. Follow me! Allons-y!'' He rushed out of the basement, without giving Rosita and Jackson any explanations. They didn't understood one thing of this alien technology seeming thing, in the middle of the room, but both of them trusted the Doctor. So they just followed him.
Roses part:
The Cybermen somehow have changed their opinion and had made Miss Hartigan (despite all her protest) to the Cyberking. Rose must looked at it in shock, when the machines betrayed her and forced Miss Hartigan, to do what they want to. Not that Rose didn't wish the worst for that women, but now the Doctor, Jackson Rosita and her,... no..., everyone in the world, has a big problem.
The Cybermen had always planned this. Not even Miss Hartigan herself had known, causing Rose to believe that this women had overestimated her high authority over the Cybermen before. But now, the former Miss Hatigan, was their king. From this moment, they would do everything what the Cyberking command. And that won't be something good...
The Doctors part:
Rosita, Jackson and him have found the hall, were all the disappeared kids were working in. Naturally, the Cybermen tried to delete them again. The Doctor wondered, if he someday will hear something else then ' Delete' from one of this machines, when they entered the room. No. Definitely no.
For some reason, he couldn't explain to himself, the Cybermen had wanted to kill all of the children, before they have interrupted them.
The Doctor burst into the hall. '' Everyone, outside!'' he shouted so the children would hear him. The kids started to run nervously around, trying to find a way outside.
Jackson and Rosita destroyed every Cyberman , that crossed their way. Meanwhile, the Doctor continued to lead the kids outside. His eyes searched desperately for Rose, but she was nowhere to be seen. What have they done to her?! The five words ( they could have killed her..) tried to push their way through his mentally wall again. But he pushed them into the back of his mind again. It hurt to much... He needed to concentrate.
The Doctor run up next to Rosita and took her shoulders, so he could look at her. '' Show the children the way outside and go with them. Don't come back!'' Rosita first wanted to protest against the words ' Don't come back' , but by the look at the Doctors face, she only nodded and did what he said.
Everything started to explode around them and burned. '' Run as fast as you can!'' Jackson ordered. Suddenly something hit his mind... slowly... Like he would starting remember something. Something very impotent. He tried to concentrate on it. He knew something was there, in his mind. The part of the puzzle, that was still missing, to complete his life again. Blurred pictures starting to flash up in his mind. He could recognize his wife, and must watch again how the Cybermen killed her. But there was something else in the room.
Jackson grumbled, and touched his head in pain. The memory came back to him. Faster and faster. Then an image from a child, that was carried away by one of the Cybermen, pushed the way into his head... It was his child! He had been a dad, or still was. He didn't know for sure. But that means, that he hadn't lost everything he loved. There was still someone he could fight for. His son.
Jackson eyes wandered to the top of the hall, like he would have noticed the presence of his son and knew exactly were he has to search for him. And there he was. The little boy stood on a platform, over fifteen meters high over the safe ground. His blue, scared eyes stared at his dad, lost in this situation. Jackson's expression changed and tears started swimming in his eyes. '' Doctor! My son!'' he cried, with a trembling voice. The Doctor was at his side, within a second. '' What?''
The Doctor followed with his eyes in the direction were Jackson Lake was looking at. Jackson grabbed him by the shoulders and shook the Doctor with red, sad eyes '' No wonder, that my mind tried so desperately to be someone else! They took my child away! Frederic!'' he cried again. The Doctor started to understand. That has to be the last thing that was missing. Jackson's child, Frederic. Both men heads shot in the direction of the little boy. Frederic didn't moved. When no one would safe him, he would die in the fire.
'' He is afraid! Wait, I will come to you! Don't move!'' Jackson wanted to use the stairs, but an big explosion stopped him. Hot flames touched his skin and he fell backward to the hard ground...
Roses part:
The Cyberking ( Miss Hartigan) sat on her throne, with six Cybermen, that protected her. Plus two shadows.
Rose was still forced to stay right next to the Miss Hartigan-Cyberking, like her little pet. At her side, two of the Cybermen, which would kill her within a second, with one command of their king. Her hands were still tied by the metallic handcuffs. But maybe she wouldn't be killed. Miss Hartigan has said, that she was impotent for her. For something.
Anyway, the risk were to high to try something on herself.
'' The Cyberking will awake. Right now!'' Miss Hartigan shouted. Rose started panicking. She just didn't know what she could do to stop this. Maybe the Doctor waited for her to plan anything that would safe them all. Like she believed in him, and always had trusted him. But really? That wouldn't be the Doctor she knew. He always appeared in the last seconds and save everyone. He will. Or? Rose just hoped he will be careful...
Suddenly, the big metallic room ( At least Rose has thought it would be an normal room ) , they all have stood in, started to shake. Like in an earthquake.
'' What the hell is that?!'' Rose shouted , before she nearly crashed to the ground. Miss Hartigan grinned at her. Her expression showed her pure resolution. ''Wait for it and you will see Time Lady. You will see!''
The Doctors part:
After the explosion, the Doctor helped Jackson to stand up again. Jackson was desperate. '' How should I reach my child!? I can't let him die in the fire!'' tears rolled down his cheeks. '' They don't need the engines anymore , that are in this hall. Everything will explode, soon!'' the Doctor shouted, so Jackson could hear him. The man wiped his tears away. '' What should we do now, Doctor? Let him back ? Wouldn't you do everything to protect Miss Rose Tyler?'' he knew that this would hit a nerve inside the Doctor, but he only wanted his child back in his arms. Frederic was the last thing that gave his life an reason to continue it.
The Doctor grabbed a long, sharp sword. He raised one eyebrow, with an expression in his face, that showed how sure he was about what he would do next. '' Oh, come one Jackson! You know me very well. I don't give up someone that easily! Beside, I won't let my child die, too. Never. ''
'' Your child but-'' Jackson started to ask, but the Doctor was already hanging on a rope , with his hands. He cut it with the sword and was pulled up to Frederic. Now, he was right next to the little boy. '' Hello!'' The Doctor smiled at him. '' Everything is alright.'' He told Jackson's son to climb up on his back. Frederic understood what he has to do, right away. '' And now hold on tight!'' The Doctor grabbed the rope again and pushed himself away from the platform. Only one second later the place burned down.
The Doctor and Frederic landed right on the stairs. He took the little boy protective into his arms. He wouldn't let any child, get hurt anymore. He burst down the stairs, in the direction of Jackson. Then he saw Frederic father, running straight towards them.
When they met on the half of the way, the Doctor carefully put the little boy into his Jackson's arms. '' Merry Christmas.'' He could only smile about, when he noticed how glad Jackson was with his child. He has never seen him that happy. By that, the Doctor just couldn't stop thinking about, how he would be together with his kid. If only Rose won't die... NO, that was a horrible thought again. Having a baby with Rose Tyler, the women he loved , that was an wonderful thought.
Even if the Doctor didn't want to disturb the father and son moment, between the two, they had to get out of here.
In the same time, Rosita has seen a huge metallic robot raising out of the river. In the mouth of that thing were Miss Hartigan . And then her gaze fell on Rose. '' Oh my god! They have Miss Tyler!'' she cried. She has to find the Doctor. Now!
Roses and Doctors part:
The huge metallic robot , was standing in his full length. Rose could hear people screaming and everyone was running away. She needed one of those info stamps, then she could destroy the Cybermen. ''I'm awake. People from London! Listen to me!'' Miss Hartigan shouted next to her. You could hear her voice like through a speaker. Rose took the chance to warn the people. '' Run! Run away as fast as you can! Don't even listen to that women!'' she cried. That mad women would turn them all into Cybermen!
The Doctor, who meanwhile was on the snowy streets again, had heard Rose's voice. Now, he noticed the huge Cyberman Robot , too. ''A Cyberking!'' he hissed. Jackson was at his side within a second. '' What is that?!'' he asked. '' It's a spaceship, the spearhead of an invasion! They will turn all this people into Cybermen. And they have Rose! That is enough for me to stop them!'' the Doctor answered.
The Doctor knew he has to hurry up, because the Robot destroyed everything, that crossed his way.
The Doctor held Jackson back, who tried to follow him. He pointed to his right side. '' Go to the south! Somewhere! But you have to save yourself now!'' Jackson shock his head in disbelieve. '' And what will you do?!'' The Doctor grabbed his shoulders and stared into his eyes. '' Jackson, you have your son, your life... it makes sense again. Don't throw everything away you have fight for.'' '' And what is about your life? You can't risk it, too!'' Jackson said, still refusing to just let him go. The Doctor raised his eyebrows. '' Not without her...'' he murdered. Jackson understood straight away, who he meant. He just nodded. Before he turned around to run away with Frederic, he said '' God, protects you, Doctor.''
Roses part:
The Cybermen still continued to destroy the the city. The robot crushed the houses, with his huge feet, like they where small toys.
'' Humans from earth. Listen to me! You will surrender, because if not, my anger will come over you!'' Miss Hartigan threatened the humans under her. She gave the command to bombard London, to prove that she was serious.
'' No, please stop that! They will all die!'' Rose cried and tried to reach Miss Hartigans Cyberman crown, to destroy it. Then her connection to the machines would be damaged. But the Cybermen pushed her to the ground again. One single tear rolled down her cheek. That happens when one women went mad... The innocent people have to suffer... Always and always again...
The Doctors part:
The Doctor was in Jackson's balloon, ( Jackson TARDIS ) with the remaining info stamps around his neck. He also had managed to get the dimension cannon of the Daleks. The only problem was, he didn't knew how to fly this balloon...
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Meanwhile Rosita finally has found Jackson again. But who was the little boy in his arms?
They hugged each other. '' I thought I would never see you again!'' Rosita said with a trembling voice. Jackson smiled at her. Then he pointed proudly at the child in his arms. '' He his my son, Frederic! I have found him!'' Rosita eyes rushed between the two. '' Really?'' she couldn't believe it. He has found a part of his family again. So that meant he could be happy again. But unfortunately , now wasn't the best time to do family talks. Also something else caught their attention in that moment... It was the big blue TARDIS balloon, with the Doctor.
Jackson eyes widened. '' Oh my god! The TARDIS! She flies!'' He laughed, more then happy about it.
But still, he couldn't understand the plan from the Doctor. Jackson just saw how he flew right in the direction of the Cyberman-Robot.
'' The man who fly the balloon, who is that?'' a man asked and ripped Jackson out of his thought with that. '' His name sir, is the Doctor.'' he answered proudly. The words showed the trust, he had in him.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The Doctor really had some serious problems flying the TARDIS- balloon in the first moment , but somehow he has managed to get it in the right direction. Problem number two, the Cybermen already have noticed his presence.
'' Someone is trying to follow us!'' The Cyberman warned their Cyberking. For a second Miss Hartigans calm expression changed. She got nervous. Her gaze fell on Rose who was still held down by the machines. Miss Hartigans eyes , filled with anger and disbelieve. '' How is that possible!?'' she hissed at Rose . But she didn't say one word. She had a guess who it could be. She only begged this person will be very carefully...
''I want to see who have the nerves to follow us! Turn around!'' Miss Hartigan ordered. The robot slowly turned around until the Doctor and the blue balloon was in the view.
In the moment Rose saw him her hearts beat faster and she couldn't hold it back. An overjoyed smile lit up her face. '' I knew it... That's my Doctor...''
