The Poison Sky- Part 1

I do not own Doctor Who and I am not making a profit off of this. I only own my OC.

Thank you for all your reviews, favorites, follows, and story alerts.


I opened my eyes. Okay. Weird. My eyes were already open. I try to see where I am. I'm in the control room of the mobile UNIT. I'm standing next to Martha, but then I realized I'm walking next to Martha to a computer. But I didn't tell myself to walk. My mind is in the body of the clone! Hopefully The Doctor figures it out and notices. It's weird having my body moving and me not telling it to. Then I notice Martha's clone entering her security password clearance to the computer. She goes right to the NATO Defense System.

"Trap One. Received. Over." Colonel Mace voice emitted from the walkie talkie.

"Sir. Message from the Doctor. He says Code Red Sontaran."

"All troops. Code Red Sontaran. Code Red Sontaran." Mace said.

Soon The Doctor and Jack came and we walked outside to where the Tardis used to be.

"But where's the Tardis?" Martha asked.

"Taste that, in the air. Yuck. That sort of metal tang. Teleport exchange. It's the Sontarans. They've taken it. I'm stuck on Earth like, like an ordinary person. Like a human. How rubbish is that? Sorry, no offence, but come on." The Doctor said.

"So what do we do?"

"Well, I mean, it's shielded. They could never detect it."

"What?"

"I'm just wondering, have you phoned your family and Tom? What about you, Susan. Haven't you phoned Sarah Jane?"

"No. What for?" Martha asked. My head shook no.

"The gas. Tell them to stay inside." Jack said. The Doctor and Jack shared a look. I sighed in relief. They knew something was wrong.

"Course I will, yeah but, what about Donna? I mean, where's she?"

"Oh, she's gone home. She's not like you. She's not a soldier. Right. So. Avanti." The Doctor said. I concentrated so hard on my memories not getting to the Sontarans. Who knew what they would do with them.

Once we were back in the mobile HQ The Doctor said, "Change of plan."

"Good to have you fighting alongside us, Doctor." Mace said.

"I'm not fighting. I'm not-fighting, as in not hyphen fighting, got it? Now, does anyone know what this gas is yet?"

"We're working on it." Martha said.

"It's harmful, but not lethal until it reaches eighty percent density. We're having the first reports of deaths from the centre of Tokyo City." A man said.

"And who are you?" The clone me asked. The Doctor and Jack's eyes narrowed. They knew I would never ask a question like that. Now they definitely knew something was wrong.

"Captain Marion Price, sir, Ma'am." He saluted.

"Oh, put your hand down. Don't salute." The Doctor said.

"Jodrell Bank's traced a signal, Doctor, coming from five thousand miles above the Earth. We're guessing that's what triggered the cars." Mace said.

The Doctor stared at me and said, "The Sontaran ship."

"NATO has gone to Defcon One. We're preparing a strike." Mace said.

"You can't do that. Nuclear missiles won't even scratch the surface. Let me talk to the Sontarans."

"You're not authorised to speak on behalf of the Earth." Mace argued. I wanted to shake my head. Arguing with The Doctor was not a good idea.

"I've got that authority. I earned that a long time ago." The Doctor sticks his sonic screwdriver into the communications system. "Calling the Sontaran Command Ship. Under Jurisdiction Two of the Intergalactic Rules of Engagement. This is The Doctor." A view of the Sontaran Ship came up on the screen.

"Doctor, Breathing your last?" The Sontaran said.

"My God, they're like trolls." Mace commented.

The Doctor sighed. "Yeah, loving the diplomacy, thanks. So, tell me, General Staal, since when did you lot become cowards?"

StaaL said, "How dare you!"

"Oh, that's diplomacy?"

"Doctor, you impugn my honour." The Sontaran said.

"Yeah, I'm really glad you didn't say belittle, because then I'd have a field day. But poison gas? That's the weapon of a coward and you know it."

"Staal, you could blast this planet out of the sky And yet you're sitting up above watching it die. Where's the fight in that? Where's the honour? Or are you lot planning something else, because this isn't normal Sontaran warfare. What are you lot up to?"

"A general would be unwise to reveal his strategy to the opposing forces" Stal said.

"Ah, the war's not going so well, then. Losing, are we?" The Doctor retorted.

"Such a suggestion is impossible."

"What war?" Mace asked.

"The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans. It's been raging, far out in the stars, for fifty thousand years. Fifty thousand years of bloodshed, and for what?"

"For victory. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha."

The Doctor sighed, "Give me a break." The Doctor changes channels with the screwdriver, to a cartoon.

"Doctor. I would seriously recommend that this dialogue is handled by official Earth representation." Mace said.

The Doctor changed the screen back to the Sontarans.

"Finished?"

"You will not be so quick to ridicule when you'll see our prize. Behold. We are the first Sontarans in history to capture a Tardis."

"Well, as prizes go, that's noble. As they say in Latin, Donna nobis pacem. Did you never wonder about its design? It's a phone box. It contains a phone. A telephonic device for communication. Sort of symbolic. Like, if only we could communicate, you and I.

"All you have communicated is your distress, Doctor."

"Big mistake though, showing it to me. Because I've got remote control."

"Cease transmission!" Stal yelled.

"Ah, well." The Doctor said as the screen went blank.

"That achieved nothing." Colonel Mace scolded The Doctor.

"Oh, you'd be surprised." I smiled to myself in my thoughts.

The Doctor reads Martha's clone clipboard. "There's carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, but ten percent unidentified. Some sort of artificial heavy element we can't trace. You ever seen anything like it?" Martha said.

"It must be something the Sontarans invented. This isn't just poison. They need this gas for something else. What could that be?"

"Launch grid online and active." Captain Price said.

"Positions, ladies and gentlemen, Defcon One initiatives in progress." Mace ordered.

"What? I told you not to launch" The Doctor said.

"The gas is at sixty percent density. Eighty percent and people start dying, Doctor. We've got no choice."

"Launching in sixty, fifty nine, fifty eight, fifty seven, fifty six. Worldwide nuclear grid now coordinating. Fifty four, fifty three."

"You're making a mistake, Colonel. For once, I hope the Sontarans are ahead of you." The Doctor said.

"North America, online. United Kingdom, online. France, online. India, online. Pakistan, online. China, online. North Korea, online. All systems locked and coordinated. Launching in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five." Price said.

"God save us." Mace muttered.

"Four, three, two, one." Martha activates her phone hack. Launch yes/no? She presses No. "Zero."

Nothing happens. The world map goes blank.

"What is it? What happened? Did we launch? Well, did we?"

"Negative, sir. The launch codes have been wiped, sir. It must be the Sontarans."

"Can we override it?"

"Trying it now, sir."

"Missiles wouldn't even dent that ship, so why are the Sontarans so keen to stop you? Any ideas?"

"How should I know?" Martha asked. My shoulders shrugged.
