Book of the Update: Canterbury Tales by Chaucer

Chapter 3

"Donna, I'm not destroyin the whole of the Dalek race. I just can't do it," Rose said as the TARDIS was materializing.

"Isn't there something else you could do?"

"I…..I dunno….no!"

Donna ran to the door and peered through the window of the half-materialized TARDIS. "Look, there! Looks like a control panel of sorts. Think you could stop the Daleks with the buttons on that?"

Rose looked out the window and then pulled Donna into a hug. "Donna, you're BRILLIANT!

"Yeah," she agreed, "Suppose I am."

"Would you be a distraction for me please? Just run out holding this – the power will be off – and act like you're about to shoot that mushy half-robot guy, yeah? And then I'll run out and get to the controls?"

She looked apprehensive.

"Don't worry; that gun's just a stun gun, not a blaster of anything, look at it. It's not gonna hurt you, yeah?"

Donna looked out the window again. "Okay. Yeah. Gimme that thing."

Rose handed her the gun and Donna took a deep breath before flinging the door open and running full speed ahead toward the half-robot man. Rose counted to three before jumping out after her, running at an angle towards the control panel, but she had just reached it when she slumped forward from a hit to the back from the stun gun.

"ROSE!" Oh God, that sounded like mum. I told her to stay in Pete's World, Rose thought absently.

After a few moments, she could move again and began to slowly inch her way around to controls and to a standing position.

"Stand witness Time Lord. Stand witness, humans. Your strategies have failed. Your weapons are useless. And, oh, the end of the universe has come."

"NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE."

Everyone had been looking at the screen, waiting for the reality bomb to go off, but no one had been looking at Rose. The screen went blank and disappeared. An alarm went off.

"SYS-TEM IN SHUT-DOWN. DET-O-NAT-ION NEG-A-TIVE."

"Think that was the right button, yeah?" Rose asked, smiling a teasing smile with her tongue in her teeth.

"Rose," the Doctor said, his worry lines melting into the biggest grin she'd ever seen. "You are brilliant."

"You will pay for this," Davros boomed, but Rose flipped a switch and electricity shot up his arm, knocking him backward and numbing half of his body.

"Exterminate her!" he yelled and Daleks everywhere began their chant of EX-TER-MIN-ATE.

Rose was flipping levers again. "You should really take the labels off these. They make it a lot easier for someone like me to come in and," the laser arms on every single Dalek fell to their sides, useless, "do something like that." She pressed a big silver button and the energy holding the Doctor and Donna deactivated.

The Doctor ran over to the control panel and took over, telling Rose exactly which button to push or which lever to pull. "Ready?" he asked and she nodded. "Reverse NOW!" they both pulled their levers and the Doctor laughed as each planet was restored to its original position in the universe.

He looked up at her and met her eyes for the first time since she had fallen down the trapdoor with Donna in the TARDIS. "Rose, your eyes-"

"I know, Doctor. And I dunno why."

He frowned, and she knew that once this was all over she would probably have a year's worth of tests done in the infirmary and then some in the lab as well, but that was later, so for now, she could push it aside and pretend there was nothing wrong. The Doctor walked around the control panel and grabbed her face, looking into her eyes.

"Can't see anything – everything looks normal, s'just the irises are-"

"Doctor? Let's just deal with it later, yeah?"

He nodded and released her face, dissatisfied.

"But you promised me, Dalek Caan, you said you foresaw this!" Davros said, his voice shaking with anger, but Caan just laughed.

"Oh I think he did," said the Doctor, "something's been manipulating the timelines for ages, leading Donna and Rose to the right places at the right times." He looked right at Caan, who laughed.

"This would always have happened. I only helped."

"You betrayed the Daleks," Davros spat.

"I saw the Daleks," Caan corrected him, "Everything we have done, throughout time and space – I saw the truth of us, creator, and I decreed NO MORE."

The red Dalek (supreme Dalek) flew in through the ceiling and landed near Davros.

"DAV-ROS, YOU HAVE BET-RAYED THE DA-LEKS."

"No, it was Dalek Caan," he said, disgust evident in his face and voice.

"YOU WILL ALL BE EXT-ERM-INA-TED!" Supreme Dalek shot wildly into the room, but Jack blasted him before he could do much damage. The control panel, however, was fried.

The Doctor ran over to the controls. "Augh! Only one planet left – and guess which one – but we can use the TARDIS to pull it back!" he ran into the TARDIS, followed by Rose, Jack, Martha, Sarah Jane, Mickey, Jackie, and Donna. "If we're very careful, we'll be able to maintain the atmospheric shell."

A jolt went through the ship and the Doctor looked out to see Davros leaning over the controls and every Dalek around him exploding into scrap metal.

"What have you done? DAVROS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"Fulfilled the prophecy," he grinned maniacally and pressed a final button, successfully killing himself and the Dalek race, which he created.

The Doctor stood in shock, staring at Davros's body, hunched over the control panel of the Crucible as it fell apart. Someone grabbed his arm and tugged him back inside and he vaguely realized that the TARDIS had dematerialized.

"DOCTOR!" Someone shouted and he jerked back into reality. "The earth is still in the wrong part of space!"

"Right! I'm on it." He swung a screen around and tapped in a number. "Torchwood Hub, this is the Doctor, are you receiving me?"

"Loud and clear," said a woman on the other side. "Is Jack there?"

The Doctor looked at him. "Oh yeah. Can't get rid of him. Jack, what's her name?"

"Gwen Cooper."

"Tell me, Gwen Cooper, are you from an old Cardiff family?"

"Yes," she answered, a bit confused. "All the way back to the 1800s."

He smiled and looked at Rose. "Thought so. Remember Gwyneth? Funny old world. Now listen, Torchwood, I want you to open up that rift manipulator and send all the power to me."

"Doing it now, sir," said a man next to Gwen.

"What's that for?" Rose asked.

"It's a tow rope. Now then, Sarah, what was your son's name?"

"Luke. He's called Luke. And the computer's Mr. Smith."

"Calling Luke and Mr. Smith. This is the Doctor. Come on, Luke, up up up!"

"Is mum there?" asked a boy, probably about 14.

"Oh, she's all fine and dandy. Now, Mr. Smith, I want you to harness the rift power and loop it around the TARDIS, you got that?"

"I regret I will need remote access to TARDIS base code numerals," said a robotic voice from the other side.

"Ohhh," the Doctor groaned, "That's gonna take a while."

"No let me!" Sarah Jane cried and ran over to the Doctor and Rose. "K9? Out ya come!"

The dog appeared in a flash. "Yes mistress?"

"Oh good dog! Give Mr. Smith the TARDIS base code."

"TARDIS base code now being transferred."

"Now then," the Doctor said, moving them all to strategic places on the console. "Sarah, hold that, Mickey hold this, do you know why this TARDIS is always rattling about the place? Rose, that. Because its supposed to have six pilots and ive had to do it single handed. Martha keep that level. But not anymore. Jack keep that steady there. Now we can fly this thing – you Jackie. No. not you. Don't touch anything, just…stand back. Like its meant to be flown! We are gonna fly planet earth back home. Right then, off we go."

And off they went. They pulled the earth all the way back to where it was supposed to be, with 6 pilots like the TARDIS is supposed to have, and nothing went wrong. Made quite a nice chance for the Doctor and his children of time.

A/N What'd you think? This chapter gave me too much grief ahhh sorry if it sucks
