The next day Rose and the Doctor, who was now back to wearing brown, were in the console room debating on where they wanted to go next. The Doctor had suggested going to the Lost Moon of Poosh, now technically found. Then he suggested Adipose 3 just because he wanted to see how the little fat babies were doing. During her Dimension Cannon travels Rose had been to lots planets and suggested Lakertya. The Doctor didn't like it and said it reminded him of Mad Scientists. Manussa was her next suggestion and when she was there the people had a snake celebration going on. The Doctor thought it was a bad idea and didn't want anyone falling foul of the Mara...again. It was bad enough last time. Rose's next suggestion was Metabelis 3 and rolled her eyes when the Doctor just grimaced. Then she suggested Argolis to which the Doctor stated he got a bit separated when he went there. Now Rose looked annoyed.
"Where haven't you been?" She asked. "Surely you haven't visited every planet in the universe?" "Wellll..." The Doctor rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I've never been to Planet One!" He said. "What's Planet One?" Perhaps that was a silly question. "Oh Rose, it's known to be the oldest planet in the universe. And not only that but there's said to be never before translated words carved into a rock-face." "Oh, now THAT'S a mystery." Rose replied and the Doctor grinned.
"What's going on?" John asked as he walked into the console room. "We were talking about where we should go." Rose said. "And the Doctor mentioned Planet One." "The oldest Planet in the universe? The one that has untranslated words carved into a rock-face?" "That's the one!" The Time Lord replied. Rose looked at the monitor as a mild wind kicked up. "What about Apalapucia?" "The number two rated destination spot? Not bad!" The Doctor said. "We can't go there!" Jaime spoke up. "They've got an outbreak of Chen 7." John gasped and the Doctor shook his head. "Maybe not!" "What's Chen 7?" Rose enquired. "It's a virus that only affects two hearted species," John spoke up. "Kills you stone dead in a day." "That's awful." Rose said, shocked. "Yep, you could say that." The Doctor looked at Jaime who was rubbing her left shoulder. It obviously still hurt. "Was that an episode?' He asked and she nodded her head. "I know. What about the Phosphorous Carousel of the Great Magellan Gestadt." John suggested and it was another thing that sounded familiar to Jaime. All they needed to do now was name a Galaxy Alison, travel to Hawaii or a version of, and then to the Oodsphere and deal with...the Master. She shuddered. That was not something she was looking forward to. "I like the sound of that. Where is it and what is it?" Rose asked. "It's in the..."
The Doctor halted when John's phone started ringing. "Who could be ringing you?" He asked his twin with frown. "Probably Jack. He's the only one from Torchwood who has my number." He replied and answered his phone. "Hello!" Jaime listened, able to hear what Jack was saying. "What do you mean? How did that even happen?" Jack and the rest of the Torchwood team had somehow been locked in the cells after a creature they caught turned the tables on them. "Right, just hold on tight. We'll be there in seconds." "Go on, what happened?" Rose asked while J.D hastily put his phone away and began to set the co-ordinates. "Some sort of alien causing trouble in Cardiff, Jack and Co apprehended it but they found themselves in the cells." "Sounds odd." The Doctor replied and pulled the lever. "Allons-y!"
The journey to the Torchwood hub was a quick one and once the TARDIS landed they exited the time machine. "Where are the cells?" The Doctor asked but was surprised when he saw Gwen standing in the middle of the hub. "I thought Jack said they'd all been put in the cells?" "He did!" John replied and looked at Gwen. "What's going on?" The Welshwoman asked. "I've only just got in and nobody's here!" Considering she was pregnant John found that normal. "Right, they're this way." He said and rushed through a door followed by the Doctor and Rose.
Jaime stayed in the main hub and stared at Gwen suspiciously, getting that same weird feeling she got with Zygon Elizabeth. "Who are you? Cos you're definitely not Gwen Cooper!" 'Gwen' smiled. It wasn't a nice smile. "Oh, you are good!" She said and started to shimmer oddly. Then she turned into a watery looking humanoid creature still in Gwen's shape. "What the hell are you?" Jaime asked, the bad feeling making her jumpy. In reply the water creature held both arms out and the streams of water shot out of its hands towards Jaime. Intuition kicking in she quickly dodged the water, her eyes wide. "I take it you're not very nice!" She said, Teleporting out of the way from another stream of water. "Stay still!" It gurgled, sounding annoyed. "Who are you and what do you want?" She asked and it's reply was to shoot out more water which surrounded her, then enclosed around her. Jaime's response was to part the water with her Telekinesis, but it was a bit of a struggle. "It's not the Red Sea but it'll do!" She growled, hazel eyes staring intently at the creature. "I think you need to chill your boots!" It raised two fingers and two smaller streams of water shot out and ended up going into her nose. It took her by surprise and she coughed, eyes watering and that distracted her so much the water snapped shut on her, trapping her in a water bubble.
Meanwhile down in the cells John opened the door of the cell Jack, Ianto, Martha and Mickey were in. "Thanks!" Jack muttered and stumbled out of the cell, followed by his colleagues. Rose snorted at their drowned rat look. "How did you let an alien prisoner get the better of you and why are you all wet?" Rose asked. "It's not the Waterhive again is it?" The Doctor was frowning because something seemed familiar and it wasn't what Rose mentioned. "No, it's not them and we didn't," Mickey spoke up. "We had him in the cells, then the alarm went off, then we all found ourselves in the cell." "Do you need help catching this mysterious alien?" Rose enquired.
"Hold on," the Doctor spoke up. "Did any of you call Gwen? As well as calling John?" "Gwen? No." Martha spoke up. "She called in sick today..." "Then who was that we passed in the hub?" Rose asked. John looked around with wide eyes, realising someone was missing. "JAIME!" He shouted and ran out of the cell area, back into the hub in record fashion. But when he got there Jaime was nowhere in sight. Neither was 'Gwen'. There were puddles on the floor and he couldn't even sense her. And when he tried to call her Telepathically he couldn't get an answer. Eyes wide and scared John turned to the Doctor. "She's gone!" He said.
The Doctor had requested the CCTV footage and now he and John were looking at it with either a grim expression or an angry expression. The first footage showed a stream of water pouring out of the holes in the cell door and then turned into a watery humanoid. The second showed Jaime hesitating and talking too the creature disguised as Gwen, then fighting the creature before it captured her in a water bubble. The Time Lord groaned and shook his head. "Doctor?" Rose questioned. "Just as I suspected!" He muttered, annoyed. "What is it?" Jack asked. "A Hydra. They're a water based shapeshifter. Their actual form is just water but they can change into any type of physical body based on sight or memory taken from their victim." "So that's why it looked like Gwen?" Ianto asked and the Doctor nodded.
"Where do they come from?" Rose asked. "From a planet called Lakeworld. It's got no land mass so it's all water and it's in a system close to Orion's Belt. Their water streams have a natural inhibitor which explains why Jaime was struggling to keep that water bubble apart. Not to mention they're also very good at manipulating the mind of their victim they don't even realise it." The Doctor looked at the four Torchwood employees. "What?" Mickey asked nervously. "Why did you call us when you could have called someone else?" "It was the first thought that came to mind after we woke up." Jack said and Ianto nodded. "We all agreed on it." He added. "Woah!" Rose spoke up. "Does that mean..." "We were lured here? Yes!" "Why would someone do that?" "Because they're known to be part of the Trickster's Brigade." John all but growled. "Indeed," the Doctor looked back at Jack who did look pretty stunned. Obviously he knew of the Trickster. "How exactly were you alerted to its presence?" "Water funnels," Martha spoke up. "Mini tsunami's." Mickey added. "Water vortexes and all that happened in the Bay." Jack told the time travellers. "Didn't you think it was strange it was causing trouble close to Torchwood?" They were silent, confused.
The Doctor groaned again and shook his head. "How could the Trickster possibly know she would be here?" He said and noticed the Immortal looking a bit guilty. "Jack? What is it?" He asked and Rose and John looked at him. "It was the incident at the St David's Centre. There was a Weevil attack..." "Yes, we heard about that." The Doctor said. "They initiated a Telepathic attack and one of them bit John." Jack nodded. "Well someone used a camera phone to record Jaime's conversation with the Weevils and that ended up going viral on FaceBook, Twitter and even made Cardiff's local news." The Doctor looked disgusted. "Welcome to the digital age!" He muttered and John sighed. "The good thing is we managed to put out a story that it was a scene from a found footage film." "Like the Blair Witch Project?" Rose enquired. "Exactly like that." Neither the Doctor or John were none the wiser. "However, because John was in shot several times UNIT didn't believe it. They wanted to bring her in for...uhh...testing." "Unbelievable!" Rose said. This only made John more nervous. He didn't want that happening...ever. "I told them they couldn't," Martha spoke up. "I told them that she was under your protection so they backed off...sort of." "What do you mean 'sort of'?" John asked. "They'd need permission from the Doctor." "Not happening!" John snapped and the Doctor nodded in agreement.
"Now Jaime's missing and we've got to find her before the Trickster gets his grubby mitts on her." "I take it that would be bad?" Jack questioned the Time Lord. "It would be a whole Multi-verse worth of bad!" The Doctor replied. "She's an Omni-Psychic and they're rare in any Universe and just to have her as part of his collection would be a treat for him."
"I know where we can find her!" John suddenly spoke up. "We can go back to Gemini. She'll be there in the woods." He went to rush back to the TARDIS but the Doctor caught him. "Did you come down with Human Stupiditis again?" He asked. "Did you sense yourself there?" The Half-Time Lord shook his head. "Did you?" The Doctor asked Rose and she too shook her head. "That means we didn't go back there and if we did it would cause a Paradox. And anyway, we can't go back on our own Timeline." John pulled out of the Doctor's grip, an angry expression on his face. "Well we can't just stand around doing nothing!" He shouted. "She's out there somewhere, on her own, we know where we can find her yet we can't do a bloody thing about it!" "What's going on?" Mickey asked Rose and she filled him in on what happened on Gemini. "Look, calm down, we..." "Don't tell me to calm down Spaceman!" "If you don't I'll put you to sleep." "You try that, mate, and I'll knock you out!" John had gone full-on Donna again. "Well, just calm down and I won't have to." The Doctor told him and the Half-Time Lord turned away and kicked a chair hard enough for it to go skittering across the hub.
"Doc?" Jack spoke up. "Doc!" "What?" John snapped. "Do you love her?" He asked and without hesitation came the reply; "Of course I bloody love her," J.D shouted. "I love her with all my one heart. I've loved her ever since I first saw her on the Crucible. She's all alone and I can't do a thing about it!" He began to sob. "I can't do this without her!" And he fell to the ground, still sobbing. Martha went to him, sitting beside him, and put her arm around him in comfort. Jack joined them.
"And I thought I had it bad!" The Doctor muttered and Rose punched his arm. "I meant that in a good way!" He said and watched as Rose joined the little group in comforting John which now included Mickey and Ianto. It seemed he was as much a part of Torchwood as he was a part of the TARDIS team. "We're not just going to be standing around doing nothing." The Doctor defended himself. "We can get the TARDIS to scan for biological data across the universe along with strange anomalies. Hopefully she'll be okay once we get to her." No-one was listening. The Doctor sighed and joined the others in comforting his brother.
