The void, Time Lords and saving people.
Chapter four:
disclaimer of doctor who sadly
"Sorry, that's classified information, come on, we need to get to the TARDIS so come on, lead the way," Rose said in an attempt to get the ginger to start moving.
Donna fixed her with a suspicious look before that was interrupted by a short but violent coughing fit before snapping in a choked voice "Fine then, gassy it is then, lets get a move on," she cough again and started walking.
Rose made a amused noise as she followed the ginger, a new companion, quite new if he hadn't given her a key yet, only two or three adventures in, maybe more. It did fell a little strange though, but very interesting from her perspective as the strange thing that the Doctor had to deal with compared with being the clueless companion. Though she did feel sorry for this one but it was vital to her plan to get rid of the Sontarans that she had control of his TARDIS to get up there.
Yes, she could use her TARDIS but she would rather not bring another space and time ship in to the mix, especially with the whole new level of weapons in there, just thinking what would happen if somehow the Sontarans got their grubby little paws on her ship sent a churn to her stomach and slight fear for the whole universe. Pushing that thought back into the dark pit it belonged to, she really wanted a go at flying the old girl, she had really come to miss the bigger on the inside blue box.
Once they were at the TARDIS, Donna unlocked the door and went through, Rose following closely behind, once in she closed the door and quietly locked it, covering her pause at the door by looking around the console room, looking the same as ever with the coral theme.
She felt a light nudge against her mental barrier as well as a amused welcoming hum from the TARDIS.
'I thought I had finally gotten rid of you Wolf,' the song of the Doctors TARDIS forming words in her head.
"It's not as easy as it looks, you've got to try harder than being trapped in the void old girl," she told the ship using Gallifreyan, earning another amused hum and a chuckle in her mind.
'Time lady though with your own TARDIS no less, that's returning with style at it's finest,' the ship sung back, 'though there better not be a great big hole in the universe, someone might fall in.'
Rose had to laugh, "nah, just a soft spot that only he can access, though it dose go through all universes, but of a concern but I just don't know where to stop, I'll fix it later."
'You better and also, keeping secrets from the Doctor? Not the best move.'
Rose sighed at this, "yeah but you still can't tell him, please old girl," she pleaded with her.
'I might not like it, my wolf but alright, I will keep your secret but you should tell him, he misses you a lot.'
"Yeah, I guessed that bit," she said, a small glint of guilt coming up from the ship's words, but she shook her head and walked towards the corridor.
Despite the strangeness of what she just saw, Donna was probably more concerned about mental health of the undoubtably alien girl, talking to no one in a language that the TARDIS didn't translate though she guessed it was Gallifreyan. She recognised it manly from hearing the Doctor muttering and yelling in something that sounded like how she was talking, and of course because it wouldn't translate.
"Oi, where do you think your going?" She loudly asked the strange new comer.
"I'm just going to explore," this earned a suspicious look from the ginger woman, "oh come on, it's a bigger on the inside space ship, what could go wrong?"
Not waiting for a answer, Rose walked down the corridor, soon a very familiar door came up and she stopped in front of it, bringing her hand up and running her finger tips over the intricate rose that was carved into the wooden door before turning the knob and entering. Nothing had been changed, the cloths spread around the floor, the bed rumpled like she just got out, the empty glass she forgot to take out that morning so long a go, the knick knacks and photos still in the same place on her set of draws and desk, all dust free.
'It's been over two years since he last saw you, he had me deadlock your door two month in after the Martha girl got to curious, he hasn't been in here since,' came the TARDIS's song in her head.
"Martha?" She asked confused.
'Yes, the stray he traveled with between meeting the Donna woman and her traveling with him.'
She didn't respond but nodded slightly, her eyes had spotted two small photos lying on the desk, she walked over to them and picked them up and the memories associated with each picture started playing in her mind. One of the photos showed the big ears and leather jacket doctor, Captain Jack and her in 14th century Kyoto, just after they defeated the 'demon spirit of the forest' which was actually a disembodied consciousness that called it's self the Great Intelligence, it was reanimating the dead and making a very large army, in the end it was a village girl that sacrifice her self to save every one, the village they were in had a celebration in her honer and to thank the three of them for helping the village, which was where the photo was taken. The other one was of the current doctor and her just after they had finished with the wire, after that adventure, the Doctor did actually manage to get them to the studio to see Elvis sing hound dog, they were standing in front of where he was actually performing, both grinning like idiots.
The memories though were short lived, a shudder ran through the room snapping her back in to reality.
"Were grounded, that's not suppose to happen," she muttered to her self, shoving the photos in her pocket and ran out of her old room.
When Rose got to the console room she went straight to the scanner and turned it on, the screen showed what was out side of the TARDIS, a dim purple tinted room with several Sontarans in it and a human male with a stupid look on his face.
One of the Sontarans didn't have his helmet on and was talking, no, make that gloating, "Spoils of war, the Doctors infamous vessel in Sontaran hands."
"Right then," Rose turned off the scanner and spun around to face Donna, "were on the Sontaran ship in orbit around the earth, that is the first bit of the plan done," she said and started running around the console, setting the ship to go to a low point in the ground, probably a basement or some thing where the TARDIS picked up the presents of alien tech.
"Plan? What plan, what the hell are you talking about," she demanded.
Rose stopped just as she was going for the last leaver to send them down, "my plan, to blow up the Sontarans before to many people die down there, I just needed this ship for a lift, now I send you back down."
"How the hell are you going to blow it up, what you got bigger on the inside pockets the have bigger bombs than the army down their?" She asked sarcastically
"No I don't but good idea, right now i winging it so maybe I might get the humans to blow that thing up," she really had to stop her self from going in to a northern accent like her first Doctor had, over the years she perfected it just for fun.
"Well you're insane so I'm coming with you to make sure you don't kill you self," she said stubbornly.
"No your not, I don't need any one getting in the way and if I survive, I really don't want the Doctor bent on having my head because I got his companion kill!" Rose yelled at the ginger.
"Yes i am, I'm not leaving my planet in the hands of some crazy alien I don't know! And I'm suppose to be keeping a eye on you," Donna said and poked her in the chest.
"Right then, I thought it might come down to this or the sleeping gas, and I do apologise for this," she said in a eerily calm voice.
"For what?"
"For this," Rose said and flicked her leg out, connecting with Donnas shin, she yelled in pain but was stopped when Rose cracked her elbow against her chin, rendering her unconscious.
Rose caught her before she hit the ground and dragged her over to the jump seat, putting her on it and making sure she won't fall off.
"Right then," she said standing up straight and spinning on her heel to face the console but her mask buzzed and notice came up saying 'Sontaran battle ship power grid hacked, power down when ready.'
"What? I didn't set that up."
Another notice popped up 'affirmative, you did not, but I did.'
"Oh, are you becoming sentient?" Rose asked the mask surprised.
'Affirmative, the one designated 'Brainy' made me like this'
"Ok just don't try to kill me," she said shrugging and picked up the mobile phone on the console.
'Of course, mistress.'
Rose flipped the phone open and scanned it with her sonic, hooking her mask up to it, 'just in case he calls' she thought to her self, once done, she put the phone back down but left it open. Suddenly the scanner turned it's self on and it showed the Doctor, holding his sonic against something and some sort of army officer person.
"Calling the Sontaran command ship under jurisdiction two of the intergalactic rules of engagement, this is the Doctor," the spiky haired time lord him self said in a stern tone.
Rose quickly messed with the controls to get a split screen, on with the Doctor and one with the Sontaran, both of course with sound.
"Doctor, breathing your last?" The potato alien with no helmet
"My God, they're like trolls," the soldier guy said shocked and Rose had to bit her lip to stop the laugh.
The Doctor glanced over at him, "yeah, loving the diplomacy, thanks. So, tell me, General Staal, since when did you lot become cowards?"
"Oh and that was?" Rose asked to the scanner, moving quickly around the console, she had a feeling that they were going to show off and gloat about the TARDIS so she was going to make a show, setting the engines to silent and so it left her behind.
"How dare you!" The one apparently called Staal yell offended quite rightly.
"Oh, that's diplomacy?" The still nameless officer said, Rose decided to call him Steve.
"Doctor, you impugn my honour," Staal 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," the Doctor said, trying to get them angry.
"Oh and I'm the crazy one" she muttered to no one.
"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?" The Doctor continued, trying to figure them out.
"A general would be unwise to reveal his strategy to the opposing forces."
"Ah, the war's not going so well, then. losing, are we?" He said teasingly
"Ha ha, knew it" Rose said to the scanner.
"Such a suggestion is impossible," Staal said offended
"What war?" Steve asked confused.
"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?" He growled out.
"For victory!" Staal shouted before all the Sontarans started punching one hand with the other and saying:
Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha. Sontar-ha.
"Give me a break," he said and rolled his eyes, pointing his sonic at the screen, making the scanner split three ways showing old cartoons.
"Doctor. I would seriously recommend that this dialogue is handled by official Earth representation," Steve tried to tell the Doctor.
Rose snorted, "good luck with that Steve."
"Finished?" The doctor asked after using the sonic again to turn off the cartoon.
Rose flicked down the last lever and the ship started to phase out around her silently, none of the Sontaran noticing
"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."
All the aliens turned to look at her, expecting the TARDIS of course and instantly aimed their guns at her.
"Who are you? how did you get on this ship? Where is the time lord's TARDIS" Staal rapidly asked, surprisingly panicked.
She quickly glanced at the monitor on the wall of the ship showing the Doctor, not missing his look of shock, "everything off," Rose calmly said.
The mask complied and turned the whole ship off, accept the purple lights only in this room which thankfully stayed on, apart from that the communication feed to the Doctor, shields, teleports, even the ATMOS and any thing els one earth connected to the Sontarans stopped.
Every thing was in a stunned silents for a few seconds before Rose's mask started ringing.
A/N ok this is getting to long and I'll continue next chapter.
