The Castithan and the Voton race belong to the creators of Defiance
The whole process had knocked the Doctor for six, considering she was a powerful omni-psychic and her headaches had hurt him quite a bit. So he went to bed to sleep it off, but not before setting the co-ordinates to a certain destination. Rose went to the library while Jaime and John were in the training room. She was wearing a dark red jumper, purple t-shirt and dark coloured jeans with the usual converse. When she first saw the jeans in her wardrobe she wondered if the TARDIS was having a joke. Nor did she think they would be comfortable but they were.
As for John he was back to wearing a dark red t-shirt with blue pinstripe jacket along with the blue jeans. "How are you feeling so far?" John asked the teenager. Before leaving the med-bay the Doctor had given his twin a pill that cleared the cold. Now he sounded fine again. "Weird. Like something's been...dulled. I can still feel everything like emotions but they just feel...different." John narrowed his eyes. "Good different or bad different?" "Good!" Jaime smiled. "And the anger?" "Still hidden." She replied after awhile. "Why am I like that?" John blew out his breath. That was a hard question to answer. "It's probably just some form of IED." Jaime was confused. "What's that?" "It's what human doctors call 'Intermittent Explosive Disorder'." He didn't add that it was associated with traumatic childhood events. "Oh, okay." Jaime said, shrugging it off. She obviously didn't know what it meant and John was fine with that.
"Right...training. Lets get started shall we." He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was a handy checklist of powers an omni-psychic would most likely have, provided by the TARDIS. "Psionic drain...yep!" He popped the 'p'. "You definitely have that one." Jaime looked a bit sheepish and sad. "Well I DID warn him!" It didn't make her feel any better. "We definitely know you have telekinesis. How about you try intangibility." "What's that?" Oh, she didn't know. "Uhhh...passing through objects like walls." "That can actually happen?" "Yes. Try that wall. He pointed at the brick wall in the middle of the room.
Nodding her head Jaime moved towards the wall but only succeeded in bumping into it and hurting herself. Annoyed, she kicked the wall and her foot smashed right through it. She gasped and jumped back. "Uhh, yeah, you've still got psionic strength. I can tick that one off." The wall rebuilt itself. "Now, you have to concentrate this time." Jaime nodded and closed her eyes, concentrating. The Doctor watched and noticed an odd shimmering around her. Wait a minute! Did that look like water? Moving forward Jaime phased through the wall, leaving a wet mark behind. Curiously John approached it and ran his hand down it. It was definitely wet. She popped her head out of the wall. "I did it!" She said happily and John noticed she even sounded watery.
She felt his apprehension which confused her. "What's wrong?" She asked, stepping out of the wall beside him. "Have a look..." He nodded at her so she held her hand up...and let out a frightened squeak. It caused her to turn back to normal. "What was that?" She asked with a gasp. He was thinking, then he was grinning. "Ohh, that is Wizard! Elemental phasing. You turned into water." This was a new and freaky experience for Jaime. "But how is that possible. I didn't feel a thing!" "Hmm. What were you thinking when you wanted to phase?" "That I just wanted to walk through a wall!" She replied. John was thinking hard again, pacing back and forth while she looked at the wet patch on the wall. She had done that...and it was weird.
"YES!" The Doctor suddenly shouted making Jaime jump in shock. "That's it. You're extremely empathic and empathy can effect the elements like air, electricity, water, fire and ice. That is brilliant!" He was grinning and she could feel his adoration for her. She smiled back, feeling the same thing for him. Why was that even happening anyway? "But..." She pushed the thought aside, trying to remember what they were doing. "...doesn't the weather usually have the effect. Like on X-Men Storm causes a...Storm." "Yes!" John replied, coming out of his stupor. "You've got a point. Maybe the old girl can remedy that." He looked up at the ceiling as the TARDIS did her work. The basic training room turned into the outside with various targets. "Cool!" Jaime muttered, looking around. "You can say that again." John replied. "Try phasing into electricity."
So she closed her eyes and thought hard...but all she managed was a few stray crackles of electricity. "Or perhaps the atmosphere needs to be just right." He said. A small breeze picked up. "Try air phasing and invisibility." J.D persisted. "Right, okay..." She muttered standing in the middle of the now breezy training room. At first she shimmered again and he noticed her turn transparent before turning invisible...well sort of. He could still see her outline. Then she suddenly ran towards a tree...and smacked right into it. She fell to the floor turning visible again. John ran to her side, noticing she had her hands over her face. "Blimey!" He uttered. "That's okay, I suppose you still have a lot to learn." He moved her hands from her face and was thankful that her nose wasn't bleeding, although her eyes were watering.
"Are you okay?" He asked Jaime as he helped her up. She just nodded, clearly pissed off. He noticed this because something seemed to be effecting the artificial weather in the room. Storm clouds were moving in. "Is that your doing old girl?" John asked. There was a thrum of negativity, so it meant it was coming from Jaime. "Are you controlling the weather?" He asked. She didn't answer, just looked up at the increasing storm clouds, something coming to mind. What if she could generate more wind?
She didn't know much about actual super hero powers but she wanted to attempt to fly or glide. If Storm or Jean Grey could do it then so could she. So she focused her mind on being all dark, stormy and windy. John felt the wind kick up into a gale force and he was almost blown off his feet. "What are you doing?" He had to shout over the thunder. "Just stand back." She said, pushing him back towards a shelter so that he didn't get hurt.
First Jaime took off at a run, then jumped in the air. The wind took over and she began to actually glide for several seconds before falling to the ground. The fall looked like it hurt and John tried to go help her, but a flash of lightning stopped him. Was she angry? He couldn't quite tell but he could feel a headache coming on...which wasn't his. Jaime was over-exerting herself. "Use Aeroportation if you can!" He shouted to the teen. "You can use the elements to teleport." John saw her nod. Jaime fully concentrated on her chosen element and ignored the building headache she was feeling.
An hour later...or was it several? She could never tell sometimes, Rose was still in the library. She was reading one of her favourite romance novels while waiting for the Doctor. She could just go to his room to check on him...but she didn't know where that was and considering they were a couple now he still hadn't shown her his room. She hoped he still would some day.
The lights in the library flashed making her look up. They'd been doing that for some time now, as if there was some sort of electrical storm happening outside. But that couldn't be right because they were in the Vortex. "Why are the lights going weird?" Rose asked the thin air. "Good question," she jumped at the voice. "Very good question." Looking over towards the door she saw it was the Doctor, his hair it's usual spiky mess. She smiled her usual tongue in teeth smile. "You're awake!" She exclaimed. "Of course I am Rose. I only needed two hours to recharge." He said and approached her as she put her book down. The lights flickered again and the Doctor frowned. "There's a lot of power being used somewhere. I don't like this." He said and ran out of the library.
Rose followed him to the console room where he was looking at the monitor and performing diagnostic checks. "So what's going on?" Rose enquired. He stepped back with an incredulous look. "The training room." He said. "Oh, well J.D said that they were going to be in there." "Whatever he and Jaime are doing in there it's not supposed to use that much power." The Doctor replied. "What are they doing in there?"
There was no time to answer that because the TARDIS landed with a thud and the Time Rotor stopped. They had arrived at their destination. Shortly after that the extra power in the training room powered down and turned off. "Where did we land this time?" Rose asked and the Doctor looked at her with a grin. "It's a surprise." "Oh really?" She moved a little closer to him. "Yes, really!" He also moved closer to her...but at the last moment they heard clattering in the corridor, John sounding a tad panicked and Jaime giggling happily. Suddenly she glided in, scaring the two so much that Rose screamed in shock. She was followed by John who's hair was even spikier than the Doctor's.
Jaime had managed to glide all the way to the roof, and it was really quite high, but now she was falling. "Aeroport!" John shouted. "Remember to aeroport!" She did just that and managed to stay in the air a little longer after generating a whirling wind. She glided a bit more, laughing almost hysterically. "What the hell have you two been doing?" The Doctor just about lost his cool and Rose tried to calm him down. John looked sheepish. "She's been getting in touch with the elements, being an empath. I think she prefers the air."
A mini whirlwind appeared near the console and Jaime aeroported in the middle of it. The wind died down revealing a grinning Jaime, her brown hair more than a little ruffled, her face pale. "That was awesome!" She croaked and almost stumbled to the floor if it hadn't been for Rose and John. "Oh Jaime, you've been overdoing it again." The Doctor crouched and looked at her carefully. "How bad is your head? Where are your pills?" Now that he had mentioned it her head was hurting a lot, so she pulled the bottle from her jumper pocket. Meanwhile the Doctor had a bottle of water from somewhere. "Drink that." He said, giving it to the teenager. Now he stood up and looked at John's very spiky hair. "And what happened to you?" John looked confused. "Your hair." The Doctor reiterated and Rose laughed when she looked at it.
"Uhh! Electrical storm." John said, doing his best to make his hair less spiky. "She kicked up a storm in order to get good gliding conditions. I thought I saw her get hit by lightning but she must have phased at that point." The Doctor sighed and stood up. No wonder the lights were flickering. "What's phasing?" Rose asked as Jaime stood up. "It's called intangibility." The Doctor answered her. "Basically it's walking through walls." "Right, okay." Jaime looked at Rose and could feel her apprehension and...fear? Rose quickly pushed those feelings aside and asked again. "Where are we then?" "Somewhere we've been before."
The Doctor headed for the door, picking up his coat along the way with Rose following behind. John picked up his overcoat and shuffled it on as he and Jaime followed Rose and the Doctor. Once out of he TARDIS Jaime looked to be in complete awe. "Welcome to Helter!" Called the Doctor. "The biggest theme park in the Outer Galaxies. Some say the Universe but they probably haven't been to Disney World...it's literally a whole world of..." John coughed to get his attention. "...yes...of course..." He looked at Jaime who appeared to have a stunned expression on her face. She was staring at a very big looking Roller-Coaster. In fact there were five more different Coasters from what she could see. And the other people who were here were a mix of alien, human and humanoid. Everyone was happy or excited and soon she was too.
"Oh my god!" She breathed out in awe, then felt the Doctor near her. "Happy birthday Jaime. I know it passed you by but it was the best I could do." Jaime squeaked happily and hugged the Doctor. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She said as he returned the hug. "No problem." He replied, grinning. She let go and grabbed John's hand. "Come on!" They were about to run off to one of the rides when the Doctor stopped them. "Oi!" He tossed a mobile to John who caught it easily. "Don't go losing that one like the last." He got the message and they both ran off, laughing. "And don't get into trouble either!" He shouted after them. "The kids'll be fine." Rose told him and took the Doctor's hand. "Come on, this way." They walked off a different way. "Kids? That's a new one!" The Doctor muttered to himself.
The kids, as Rose called them, had decided to ride on the coasters once John Soniced an ATM for a Credit Stick. They screamed loudly and laughed hysterically as they zoomed around corners and up/down hills. After the third Coaster they were feeling a tad sick, not to mention Jaime kept turning invisible, so they took a teleport to the Haunted Island.
It was an adventure island with 'real life ghosts' according to the visitor map. John and Jaime were currently walking in the ghost town and it felt very spooky indeed. "If there really are ghosts how did they get here?" Jaime asked, looking around with mistrust. "No idea," John replied. "Perhaps the ghosts are not really ghosts."
She stopped and looked around the empty town while he noticed the teen was shivering. "Are you okay?" He asked. Jaime nodded slightly, her eyes wide. "I'm experiencing a lot of fear, most of it isn't mine." "I'm not surprised. We are in a ghost town." John replied. He didn't seem to be listening again, and Jaime was trying her best not to get distracted. "But it's part of a theme park. Shouldn't there be other people about?" He turned to her, eyes wide. "Oh! That's a good question. I really should listen to you more!" She smiled slightly. "So where is everyone?"
Jaime closed her eyes and searched out where the fear was coming from. It didn't take long and she pointed to the left. "That way!" They ran up the street to where the feelings were stronger. There was a General Store, a Bank, another General Store and a Saloon. Now she was getting a really bad feeling and she shivered. "Where now?" John asked. "There!" She nodded at the Saloon. "But I've got a really bad feeling that won't go away." He nodded, fully understanding. When she said there was something bad nearby it was best to listen. "Right. Come on." They walked towards the Saloon but Jaime hung back slightly. In all her life she had never been anywhere near a haunted house or...though there was one time when she'd been five and she'd seen a ghost in the Sunderland Empire Theatre. But she might have gotten confused and thought a normal person was a ghost. She remembered he had called himself Sid...
"Are you okay?" John asked. "Yeah." Jaime replied unsurely. "Do ghosts actually exist? Are they real?" John frowned and looked at her, surprised at the question. "Well...uh!" The Doctor would know this so he dug into those memories. "Some ghosts can be real, but most of the time it'll be someone from the astral plane projecting or even somebody trapped in a bubble world." Jaime was reminded of that episode where the Doctor and Clara went to a supposedly haunted house...only it turned out to be a time traveller stuck in a bubble universe. Sadly she couldn't remember the name of that episode. "Does that answer your enquiry?" John asked. She nodded her head. "Alright!" He took her hand. "Ready?" She nodded again. "Let's go!"
They approached the Saloon, storming through the doors. And what they saw surprised both the Doctor and Jaime. A group of people were cowering on the other side of the room, kept in place by two dead zombie looking people. Hovering above them were red and blue ghosts. "Doctor...is that..." "Yes!" John gasped. "It's the Gelth. But what are they doing here? And how?" Some of the trapped tourists noticed the two newcomers. "Run!" A pale white humanoid with pale coloured hair and pale blue eyes shouted to them. "Get out of here, before its too late." One of the zombies caught the pale humanoid and snapped his neck, allowing a Gelth to enter the now dead body, re-animating it. The scared group cried out in fright after witnessing this brutality.
The two time travellers were shocked and appalled. "No, oh no...we're not running." John said. "I know who you are, Gelth...what are you doing here?" The now possessed pale man turned his attention to them. "Who addresses us?" Their voices still sounded childish. "I'm Doctor John David Smith and this is Jaime MacInarah'" He answered the Gelth. "And I'll ask you again what are you doing here?" "Doctor?" The pale man squinted as if he was trying to identify John. "We found a man who once called himself 'Doctor'. You do not look like him." Jaime gasped. "They're the same Gelth!" She said. "It would appear so." John replied.
"We were trapped in the rift, but we escaped it with the help of the Omni," the pale creature spoke again. "We came here and now we want bodies." "What do you mean by 'the omni'?" Jaime asked, well aware she'd been called that twice before. "How did you follow...her?" John smiled grimly at her question and understood why she worded it oddly. It frightened her that she could have caused their re-appearance. He just hoped she wouldn't feel sorry for them. John put his arm around her shoulders and he could feel her shivering as he pulled her closer. *It's going to be okay!* he told the girl via telepathy. *I know.* she replied in the same way.
"The Omni is all-powerful, the Omni broke the barrier." Jaime gasped again and John sensed her fear rise. "What if I really do turn into Darth Vader?" She whispered, looking up at the Half-Time Lord. "What if it's a future me causing trouble?" He narrowed his eyes at this. "Where did you come up with that?" He said. "Jaime, you're not gonna become an evil mastermind overnight." "Why not? It can happen. "The Doctor became the Time Lord Victorious after he went to Mars, the Master turned into a psychopath after he got drums in his head, Anakin fell to the Dark Side, then there's Magneto and Mystique and...and..." She was beginning to hyperventilate. "Oh shit!" John swore. "Calm your breathing, take deep calming breaths." He instructed. Her hazel eyes were wide as she did her best to calm her breathing. It was a horrible feeling, for both involved. Once she was finally able to get her breath back John asked if she was okay and she nodded. "Good. Firstly, you're NOTHING like the Master, the Time Lord Victorious only existed in your world." "It could still..." "Shush!" She did. "And the rest are just fictional characters. You are NOT going to turn into an evil genius. Do you understand?" Jaime nodded her head. "Wizard! Now we've got bigger problems to deal with."
They turned back towards the unimpressed waiting Gelth. "Sorry about that." John replied. "But I was only in the rift for a few seconds. I remember everything went white, then I tripped over." Jaime said. "It may have been seconds to you but the actual time may have been an hour...or more." The Doctor replied. "Seriously?" A shocked Jaime said. "Oh yeah!" "Does that mean more creatures could have been accidentally displaced by me?" John shook his head. "Now, don't you go thinking like that." "We require more bodies then we will take over this world." The pale man said. "Not on my watch!" John said. "You cannot stop us." The Gelth possessed man said. "We are many!" Then even more Gelth possessed people walked out of the doors and down the stairs rather stiffly. "And you will be next." "Not bloody likely!" A wide-eyed John replied.
"STOP!" Jaime commanded, her voice seeming to echo. "Mind control won't work on us." The Gelth possessed man stated. "Oh really? What about this?" And she shot her hand out towards the nearest Gelth person. It was flung back and hit the wall, hard. "Ha! No match for a telekinetic!" John boasted. The teen blasted more Gelth-people and then held both her arms out. The Gelth-people were floating, held in place. John heard her grunt and felt a sharp pain in his head. "Get out, quick!" He shouted to the still alive tourists. They took their chance and fled past the time travellers to get outside. Now John grabbed Jaime's hand and they too escaped the Saloon.
Jaime groaned and fell to the ground, putting her hands on her head. It hurt so much and now her nose was running, realising it was probably bleeding. "Dammit Jaime!" John swore but she barely heard it for the blood rushing through her ears. She felt him dig around in her pockets, pulled out something and then something was put in her mouth. She instinctively swallowed it and seconds later the pain in her head disappeared and the bleeding stopped. "Are you okay now?" John asked, putting the bottle back in her pocket. Looking up Jaime nodded and was helped back to her feet. "Don't overdo it, please!" John told her as he wiped the blood from her face with a tissue. "I'll try not too." She mumbled. "And we still have to deal with the Gelth."
Jaime kept her eyes on the Saloon. "I don't want to kill them." She said. "No, me neither," John replied. "But we've got to do something about them." The teen frowned. "That pale guy? Was he a..." "A Castithan?" John replied. "Yes. He's one of the members of the Voton race." Now Jaime narrowed her eyes at this because there was something familiar about the name. She heard him groan. "Oh no, it's worse than I thought!" When she looked around she saw half a dozen Gelth possessed people walking stiffly up the dusty road. A squeak confirmed the Gelth were leaving the Saloon. "If they find the teleport then this whole world is in danger!" John continued. "Should we call the Doctor?" Jaime nervously asked as a Gelth zombie shuffled towards her. "Nah! I think we can deal with this ourselves." She nodded at this and blasted back a Gelth zombie. "We need to find some place safe before we're over-run. You can't keep them back forever!" John said next.
She could feel his worry and he was kind of right considering she was still weakened from lifting all the Gelth zombies. "The police station?" She suggested, more than a little frightened as she blasted back another Gelth zombie. "It's an old Western ghost town. It'll be a Sheriff's office." John told her. He saw they were surrounded and it was probably not a good idea to try and push past them...even with Jaime's new found strength. "Fine..." She grabbed John's hand. "Sheriff's office." They disappeared and seconds later re-appeared outside the Sheriff's office via teleportation. "Wizard!" John said quite happily and ran into the police station. After taking a nervous look around Jaime followed him in. He was already deep in thought.
"Think, think..." He muttered. "There must be something." "Gas?" Jaime suggested, remembering the events of 'The Unquiet Dead'. "No. We're not blowing anything up!" She smiled at this and watched as a group of Gelth zombies began to approach the police station. It scared her that they seemed to know where they were. John watched as several items on a desk began to float. "Jaime, you've got to calm down." He said. When she looked around she saw the things fall back to the desk. "I can't help it, they're coming this way." "What?" John stormed over to the door and saw she was right. "We really have to do something." She heard him walk away, muttering again. "Good thing I don't have a human brain!" He insulted. Jaime ignored it, thinking about something. Her abilities. She could affect the the elements, her chosen element was air...could she perhaps...yes!
"Doctor!" She shouted unusually loud and John jumped in shock. "What was that about?" "Aerokinesis...that is what you called it isn't it?" He narrowed his eyes. "Of course!" "Well, what of it's abilities?" He understood what she meant and pulled out his new phone. This too was a Superphone and he had no trouble getting onto the Internet. "Aerokinesis..." He read. "Associated abilities include Aerokinetic combat, Aeromancy, Aeroportation, Air absorption..." "What's that?" "A technique that causes an implosion." "What is it?" "Worse than an explosion. Finished yet?" She nodded and he carried on. "...Air Aura, Air Empowerment..." "And that?" John looked up at her enquiring face. "No, bad. Very bad." Jaime just shrugged. "Right...Air Mimicry, Air Portal Creation..." "Air portal?" Her eyes were wide. "How?" "Ahh, no...also very bad." The Gelth were now bashing on the doors but it was being kept closed by telekinesis. "We haven't got much time Doctor!" Jaime groaned painfully. "Cyclone Spinning..." "I like the sound of that." She replied. "What does it do?" "Uhh... Tornado creation, wind generation, de..." "How do I create a Tornado?" "Spin?" John replied cheekily and she looked at him with an exasperated expression, forgetting she was holding the door closed. It burst open and all the Gelth zombies tried to get in at the same time. Jaime screamed and John pulled her away.
They found a back stairs and climbed to the roof. Afterwards John Soniced the roof door shut so nobody could get them. So far they were safe but looking all around they saw the building was surrounded. "I don't get it," Jaime muttered. "What's a Castithan doing in the Doctor Who universe?" She frowned in confusion. "Sorry? What was that?" "Defiance!" His face showed he was none the wiser. "Science Fiction show from my future. They had Castithan's on it. So what are they doing in this universe? The Doctor's universe?" Sighing, John put his hands on her shoulders. "Don't let your mind wander away Jaime. We've got other things to deal with...like the Gelth." At first she looked confused, until her face cleared. "Okay." She said. "I want to try Cyclone Spinning, create a tornado and trap the Gelth in the winds."
John blew out his breath and looked very unsure. "You only just learned how to glide and Aeroport. You've still yet to master Aerokinesis." But she smiled, albeit nervously. "There's always a first for everything." Saying nothing in reply John just nodded his permission. Jaime took a step back and disappeared in a mini whirlwind and re-appeared in the same way at the far end of the street. John waved at her and she waved back.
From where she stood Jaime could still see John on the roof of the police station, surrounded by Gelth. She was nervous she was going to fail and she wasn't sure how much it would take out of her, also she could feel the usual headache coming back. How was she supposed to call up a storm anyway? This wasn't like in the TARDIS, this was actual outside. What would Storm do? *Keep calm,* John told her telepathically. *Take deep breaths and concentrate.* *Okay.* He must have felt her worry. *You can do it.* he urged making her smile. Jaime closed her eyes and began her work. "I call on the weather, the dark and stormy clouds, the wind...do your worst..." At first she thought it didn't work as she heard John shouting to the Gelth in order to keep them distracted, but then she felt it...a slight breeze.
Opening her eyes she looked up at the sky to see that it was very cloudy. It had clear sky seconds ago. The breeze became even breezier. "Didn't think it would be that easy!" She muttered. *Don't let your mind wander!* John told her. Right, now she had a cyclone to spin. Standing in place Jaime took a deep breath and twisted around and...fell on her arse. From his perch on top of the roof John saw her fall and grimaced. Of course it wouldn't work, she was new to elemental T.K. It could take months or even years to master. He saw her try it again but fell again. Then she got up and tried again but she continued to fall. John could feel her frustration which soon turned into anger and two or three Gelth zombies shuffled towards her. "Hey!" He shouted, eyes wide. "I'm still here, look!"
Suddenly there was a loud bang and he thought the Gelth had smashed the door open. It wasn't them. Looking up he saw the clouds had gone very dark. It was thunder and no doubt lightning would be next. John heard laughter and looked down to see Jaime blasting back zombies, not to mention the wind was getting pretty strong too. She twisted again and must have figured something out because now she was spinning on the spot without falling down. Soon a mini cyclone began to form and John stared in amazement.
In another part of the theme park populated by restaurants Rose and the Doctor were walking along a path. When a crack of thunder was heard Rose looked around and noticed in the far off distance the dark clouds forming. "What's going on over there Doctor?" She asked, her brow furrowing. "Looks like there's a storm brewing...in one area." He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Looks like a bad one." "What's over there...isn't that the ghost island?" "Yes...hang on!" The Doctor pulled a mobile from his pocket and called his brother.
He could hear the phone ringing and pulled it from his pocket, checking the screen name. It said 'Doctor calling'. John quickly answered. "Hello!" He practically shouted over the noise of the storm. "Where are you?" The Doctor asked, noticing he was shouting. "There seems to be a storm brewing over on the ghost island." John grimaced. He was in for it now. "Yes. We kinda...noticed." He replied. "Oh! So you're on Ghost Island? Do you need any help?" "No! Nothing's wrong...everything is fine...even in this storm." "Are you sure?" "Yep!" The Doctor rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Well, once you two come back from Ghost Island we'll be in the restaurant sector, just outside 'TGI Friday's." "TGIF is still here? Uhh, yeah...okay!" And then John quickly hung up making the Doctor stare at his phone. "Doctor?" Rose enquired. "Oh, they're definitely up to something." He muttered as he put his phone away. "We should go to them." "None-sense." Rose took his hand. "Whatever's happening there I'm sure they'll be fine." They took off the other way.
Meanwhile on the police station roof John stared in awe at the rapidly growing cyclone. In fact it wasn't just a cyclone anymore, it was a fully fledged Tornado and it was connecting to the storm clouds above. It was slowly moving toward the Gelth zombies and even sucking them up. He then realised he had to get out of it's way. "Uh-oh." Taking a look around John noticed that he could possibly jump across the next roof to safety. He took a run and jump safely to the next roof. It wasn't a smooth landing and he cried out when he twisted his ankle.
Swearing angrily in Gallifreyan he jumped into a room via a skylight and hobbled out of the room. He could hear the tornado rattling the boards of the buildings, so John knew he had to get away before it sucked him in. It seemed this building was another General Store, this one being weapons ammunition. "Fantastic!" John stated in a sarcastic way and hobbled out of the front door. Outside it was blowing a gale and he could barely move as he made his escape, so he grabbed onto a lamp post and held on for dear life. Several times he saw Gelth zombies being pulled into the giant funnel. Shortly after that the sound of wood splintering was heard and the police station was destroyed along with parts of the surrounding buildings. John, eyes closed tightly and getting flashbacks to Canary Wharf, continued to hold onto the lamp post until the wind died down and everything became quiet.
Knowing that it was safe John let go of the lamp post and looked around. All the Gelth zombies had disappeared, probably sucked up into the sky, the police station was nothing but a wooden mess and various fires had started up. And not to far from that mess lay Jaime. "Shit!" John ran as fast as he could and knelt down next to her. "Are you okay?" He asked, noticing she had her hands on her forehead. "I'm dizzy," she moaned. "Everything's spinning...and my head hurts." He chuckled then smiled at this as he found her pills again. "I'm not surprised. Cyclone spinning can leave a person with some serious dizziness." After he gave her a pill he helped her to her feet but her face suddenly paled. Jaime turned away and vomited up what had been in her stomach. John grimaced at this. "And maybe a little nausea." The teenager groaned as John held her hair back. "The Doctor called. He and Rose are waiting for us outside TGI Friday's." Another groan was heard from Jaime and she puked again. "Well I liked it!" He said.
Rose and the Doctor had found a bench and were now sitting opposite TGIF's waiting for Jaime and John. "Looks like that storm cleared up." Rose said and the Doctor grunted in reply. He was still worried over what it might have been and what his twin and Jaime were up to. "Doctor, it might not have been anything." Rose told him. The Doctor scowled at her. "Do you know that for a fact?" He asked. "What if it's a new attraction?" The blonde suggested, making the Doctor snort without humour. "Yeah, her name is Jaime and she has powers beyond a normal human." Rose sighed. "You don't have to worry, Doctor." She caught his face in her hands and made him look at her. "I'm sure they'll have learned from last time." They stared at each other, then they were moving towards each other to kiss.
A mild wind played at their hair. The mild wind turned into a breeze and Autumn leaves began to skitter about almost whirlwind like. "Woah!" A female voice cried out and a body slammed against them, shocking the couple away from each other. A groan, then; "Everything's still all spinny!" "I told you to take it easy Jaime!" John admonished. The Doctor scanned the girl with his Sonic and jumped up from the seat. Rose looked red faced and annoyed. "What the hell have you been doing now?" He shouted at John who sat on the floor where he'd landed. "What did you do to her?" Rose noticed the teen's face was pale and she had her eyes closed. "Nothing. I didn't do anything!" John replied as he rubbed his sore ankle.
"Gelth!" There were Gelth." Jaime said and opened her eyes, noticing the spinning dizziness had stopped. "What?" Both Rose and the Doctor uttered at the same time. "Why didn't you call us?" "We thought we could deal with them ourselves." The Half-Time Lord replied. "You didn't kill them did you?" The Doctor groaned. "Tell me you didn't kill them." "No." John scowled at the Time Lord. "I don't know." "So what was the storm about?" "I cyclone spinned and got all dizzy." Jaime spoke up. "I wanted to open a portal but John wouldn't let me." "And he had good reason to."
"What? A cyclone as in a Tornado, yeah?" Rose enquired. "You can create Tornado's now?" Jaime nodded. "What happened to all the Gelth?" "Don't know. They're probably still there," John said. "The Gelth possessed bodies were a different matter. Jaime generated a Tornado and...it caused some minor damage. As for the bodies I don't know where they went." The Doctor nodded grimly then noticed what John was doing. "And what happened to you?" He asked his brother. "Twisted my ankle jumping from the police station roof onto another roof." The Doctor sighed.
"You do know you have a setting that fixes something like that don't you?" He used his own Sonic on the ankle and helped John to his feet. The Half-Time Lord experimented and found that his ankle was better. "Thanks!" The Doctor turned to Jaime. "What about you? How are you feeling?" "Still a it dizzy but I'm okay," Rose helped her to her feet. "Cyclone spinning have a lot of nasty side affects." He admonished. "Come on." The four walked over to TGI Friday's.
They sat in the booth in a quiet corner of the restaurant with Jaime sitting near the window and John sat next to her. Opposite her was The Doctor and he sat next to Rose. The teenager looked around in puzzlement. "How come there's a TGI Friday's on an alien planet?" "It's not exactly alien." John replied and the Doctor nodded, picking up on the story. "Helter is jointly owned by Universal, MGM, Paramount, Tri-Star, Disney etc..." He smiled when he saw her surprised expression. Rose laughed, remembering she'd looked the same when the Doctor told her. "What year are we in?" Jaime asked next. "Early 41st Century. 4025." "Wow!" Jaime gasped in wonder.
A waitress walked over to their table and the teen could feel her inquisitiveness. "What can I do you for?" She asked them, her accent sounding American. "Uh, yeah. We'd like some drinks before we order." John spoke up and she nodded. "A Shan Shen frothy drink, blue." He said, looking at the drinks menu then looked at Jaime. She too was peering at the menu. "Milkshake. Chocolate mint." She answered. "I'll have a banana milkshake." The Doctor said. "Me too." Rose said, and the Doctor grinned. "Alright. Two banana milkshakes, one chocolate mint and one Blue Shan Shen frothy. They won't be long." And she walked off to the kitchen.
"What's a Shan Shen frothy?" Rose asked. "They're drinks that are flavoured and frothy, originating from Shan Shen." The Doctor answered. Before Rose could ask what Shan Shen was Jaime answered with; "It's a planet with a Chinese culture. The Doctor took me and Donna there and then she got caught in a parallel universe." The Doctor grunted. "I recall Donna seeming to like the blue flavoured frothy drink." John smiled rather sheepishly. "Sorry, I can't help it." He said. The Doctor didn't say anything. "We also met the Fifth Doctor." Jaime added. "What?" Rose looked confused. "My Fifth incarnation," the Doctor replied. "We didn't meet him, more like bumped into him." "Hold on. But he's you. Surely you would have remembered and gone on a different day." Rose said. "Perhaps I forgot!" The Doctor answered. "When you've been around as long as I have you're bound to accidentally cross a Timeline."
The waitress came back with their drinks and handed them over. Jaime sipped her shake through a straw and smiled. It tasted really nice. "Sorry, I couldn't help wondering." The waitress spoke up. "Are you two twins?" She asked John and the Doctor. "Yes, we are." They both replied at the same time before exchanging a glance at each other. It reminded Jaime of their time on Midnight. "Right, okay. I'll come back once you're ready to order." She gave John a flirty grin and walked away, which was noticed, much to his embarrassment, by John, Rose and Jaime.
"So, Rose..." The Doctor spoke up between sips of his shake. "You never told me how the Dimension Cannon actually worked." "Oh!" Rose looked surprised. Jaime thought it was an interesting question but she could feel a hint of apprehension from the blonde. "What is it?" John asked, taking a drink from his frothy Shan Shen drink. The froth mostly ended up on his nose and Jaime giggled. "In the early days it didn't always find the right universe," Rose said. "One quick jump and I'd end up in a Dimension full of wizards or one with a Vampire hunter or a police officer or an American lawyer..."
"Wait a minute," John interrupted. "Do you mean to say you ended up in a universe where Harry Potter exists?" Rose nodded her head. "See, that's the danger of messing with Dimensions. You never know where you're going to end up." The Doctor warned. "At one point I thought I'd actually found you," Rose continued. "But it turned out to be an actor. I mean he looked like you, wore your clothes and had the TARDIS but he wasn't you." "Oh? Somebody pretending to be me?" The Doctor was grinning, thinking of Baris. "Yeah. He called himself David..." Jaime's eyes widened and the Doctor's glanced at each other. "...err, something. He thought I was his friend Billie. Who names their kid Billie..."
Rose noticed the look on Jaime's face. "Jaime? Are you okay?" "Tennant!" The teenager squeaked. "Sorry?" "His name is David Tennant. Are you saying you ended up in my universe?" Rose stared at the girl. "Yeah, that sounds familiar. Any idea why he was being the Doctor?" Jaime was positively jumpy by now and the Doctor's were more than a little sheepish. "Yeah, cos he played the Doctor on 'Doctor Who'. He's a TV show there." Now she gasped. "I can't believe you found my universe!" She was too excited to register the anger coming from Rose who turned to the Doctor. "Why didn't you tell me? If this 'Doctor Who' is based on your life then she'll know everything about you and...me!" Jaime looked very confused. "I thought he would have told you." She said, looking from the Doctor to John. "I was trying to work out a time to tell you, honestly." The Doctor replied, grimacing.
Jaime was so upset the cutlery on the table began to float. "Oh no! Jaime, calm down. You know you can do it." John soothed her as the Doctor and Rose snatched stuff out of the air. She took several deep breaths feeling the dull pain in her head. Shortly after the mini-drama the waitress returned. "So guys, what'll you order?" She asked. J.D got the special while Jaime got the Planet Hawaiian Pizza. Rose and the Doctor got the Surf and Turf. "Alrighty!" She pulled a strip of paper off her pad, put it in her front pocket and wrote something else. She then looked at John. "Hey handsome!" The Half-Time Lord looked stunned while the Doctor just narrowed his eyes. "I guess you're staying nearby. If you wanna hook up here's my number." Jaime felt a huge wave of jealousy and realised it was from herself as the waitress handed John her number. "Uhh...thanks!?"
"Hey...Jane...get back to work and then take a long walk!" Jaime spoke up, voice echoing. Jane the waitress blinked, smiled, then walked away. "Jaime! You didn't need to do that." The Doctor admonished and the girl hung her head in shame. "Sorry!" She mumbled. "Why? What just happened?" Rose asked. "A form of mind control. She just sent the waitress out on a long walk. They watched as Jane walked out of the restaurant. "She gave me her number!" John panicked. "What am I supposed to do with it?" Suddenly the piece of paper caught fire making John drop it on the table. "I suppose there's your answer." The Doctor said.
The four Time Travellers exited TGIF's once they'd eaten and payed. They had no other problems during their meal and Rose also quickly forgave the Doctor for not telling her which universe Jaime had come from. Behind the Time Lord and his other half was John and Jaime, holding hands like they always did. They were discussing whether or not to go back to the TARDIS or stay on Helter for a few more hours until the Park Police surrounded them.
"Halt!" One of them barked, holding out a Phaser Gun. "What's this about?" Asked the Doctor with narrowed eyes. "Which one of you were on the Haunted Island?" The police officer barked again. John groaned and the Doctor scowled back at him. "I'll ask again," he turned back to the police. "What is this about?" The police officer read out a list: "Destruction of theme park property, loss of ghosts, manslaughter..." "Loss of ghosts?" John interrupted. "Those were not ghosts. You've got some very dangerous Gelth over there."
But the police officer wouldn't listen. "And one use of illegal Mind Manipulation." The Doctor sighed. "We will take the Windmaker." "Sorry, what?" The Doctor replied in confusion. "Doctor. I think they mean Jaime." Rose whispered. "Uhh...what for?" "The Windmaker was caught on Closed Circuit HoloScreen using an illegal elemental power. The Windmaker will be arrested and tried..." *See you in the TARDIS!* Rose heard Jaime say in her mind. "No." The Doctor argued. "You are not taking her." The police suddenly cocked their guns. "And no matter how threatening you want to be you still can't have her. She's under my protection." "Doctor!" "Since when has psychic abilities been illegal on Helter?" "Doctor!" Rose shouted again. "What is it?" He replied, annoyed. "They're gone." "What?" He looked around to see that both Jaime and John were nowhere to be seen. "Where'd they go? Don't tell me, they teleported didn't they?" Rose nodded then they both looked at the police. "Run?" She whispered and he nodded with a grin.
Meanwhile Jaime stared around a console room after teleporting into it with John. And by the looks of it, it was already in flight. "I can't believe you did that!" John argued. "We left the others behind." Now he too looked around the console room. "And this isn't our TARDIS." "They'll be fine." Jaime replied, looking at a Blackboard on the top level. This console room looked like the Eleventh Doctor's second console room after his adventures with Amy and Rory. Only it wasn't so blue anymore, more orangey. When she put her hand on a lever she got the image of the Twelfth Doctor. Jaime gasped and let go of he lever. "What's wrong?" John was immediately at her side. "What is it?" "We have to go!" She whispered and took hold of John whilst connecting to another TARDIS. "This is a future Doctor." "Well I can see th..." They disappeared in a flash. "...at!"
They reappeared in another console room, this time it was greyish-white. "Oh, now this does look familiar." John added. This TARDIS was also in mid-flight. "Is it the third Doctor again?" Jaime asked rather quietly. But before John could answer, another voice spoke up. "Hello?" A man with curly brown hair, wide blue eyes and a long scarf stepped into the console room from the inner TARDIS. He saw the two new strangers and grinned. "Oh! Goodness me! It's you two again. What are you doing in my TARDIS?" The Doctor asked. "Uhhh!" John smiled nervously. "Sorry. We were in a hurry to get back to our TARDIS and ended up in here. You can drop us off anywhere if you like. Then I'll call...him...to pick us up."
"Yes, of course." The Doctor moved to his console and reset the co-ordinates. "I was in the middle of taking Sarah to see Rudyard Kipling..." Jaime stared when Sarah Jane was mentioned. "...but I suppose a detour won't hurt." "Oh! You're travelling with Sarah Jane! Where is she?" "She's sleeping at the moment." The Doctor's eyes showed a look of warning and John nodded. He turned to Jaime. "This is the Doctor's Fourth Incarnation." Now she looked even more interested. "Oh, in my universe he's an actor called Tom Baker." She replied. "Last I heard you'd been captured by Torchwood," the Doctor continued. "How'd you escape?" John grimaced and Jaime shivered before looking away. "With great difficulty. It wasn't pretty...for either of us." The Doctor looked at Jaime but didn't say anything. Soon enough the TARDIS landed with a small thud. "There you go!" "Thanks Doctor." John moved towards the doors with Jaime but she looked back at the Doctor. "The children are going missing." She said. "What?" But she was guided out of the TARDIS by John.
She had landed them in New York, right in front of the World Trade Center. "Ah, New York!" The Half-Time Lord uttered as the TARDIS dematerialised. "On a perfect sunny Summer's day. I do believe its morning." His time sense was still faint but it was obvious by all the people rushing into work. It was then he suddenly realised he could feel a whole lot of fear coming from Jaime. He looked down and saw that her hazel eyes were wide. "Jaime? What is it? What's wrong?" He asked, crouching next to her. She was shivering. "Bad feeling." She squeaked. "Really bad feeling." She looked up at the towers. "Death and destruction. It's coming right now! So much death!" She cried. His eyes wide John stood up, understanding what she meant. "Hey!" He called to a worker heading towards the building. "What's the year?" What's today's date?" "What?" The woman was confused. "Just tell me!" John shouted. "Are all you Brits rude?" She snarked. "Fine. If you must know. It's the 11th of September 2001."
