When she got trapped inside the water bubble Jaime panicked, thinking it might drown her. But it surprised her when she realised she could still breathe inside it despite being completely surrounded by water. She couldn't move at all despite trying to struggle out of the water, and her view of what was outside was pretty much blurry. 'Whats going on? What's happening?' She thought to herself realising her mind felt slow and sluggish and she could feel a headache building up. Perhaps it was the water that was causing it and if that was so she needed to get out of it as quick as possible. She was an Omni-Psychic, no-one could keep her captured like this.
Closing her eyes Jaime then breathed in deep and tried to Teleport out of the bubble, but all she managed was a brief flicker. Oh! Well that was odd! It'd never happened before. She tried to do it again and once more nothing but the flickering happened. It was annoying and she couldn't quite comprehend why that was happening, nor could she understand why her headache was getting worse and why she was feeling sick. Okay then, if she couldn't Teleport out of the bubble then surely she could use her Telekinesis to part the water again.
Concentrating again she thought deeply, only managing to vibrate the water that was close to her body. Well that was a nice feeling but she really did need to escape this bubble of water. Perhaps she could evaporate the water with her seldom used Pyrokinesis. 'Right, lets try it.' With deep concentration she tried to start the fire in her hands and only managed to end up electrocuting herself. The teen yelped out in pain and jerked in the bubble, groaning afterwards. Of course water conducted electricity but she hadn't been 'asking' for Electrokinesis but Pyrokinesis. So why had she just accidentally shocked herself?
Something wasn't right, none of her powers should be on the fritz unless... Her eyes widened and then she yelled out when a sharp pain shot through the center of her brain like a hot poker being inserted through her head. Then she felt her nose begin to 'run' and she could actually see the blobs of blood in the water. 'Oh, isn't that Wizard! I'm going to die inside a bubble of water after all!' Jaime thought to herself rather sadly and yelled again when the pain hit even worse. She couldn't even move her arms to put them on her head. *DOCTOR!* she tried to call before passing out.
She'd thought she surely must be dead by now. But when she woke up she found herself lying on a bed in some sort of sickbay. Confused and with a mild headache thumping away she wondered where she was and what was going on now? Jaime sat up and groaned when the headache thudded painfully. "Hey, easy now!" A familiar voice said and she was pushed back in the bed to lie down. When she looked at who it was she saw the Doctor. Actually it wasn't the Doctor, it was John. "That was a bit of a close call there!" He said and caressed her cheek with his warm hand. Jaime smiled and sat up anyway despite his protests. "You came!" She said and hugged him. "I called and you came!" John smirked and patted her back. "Of course I did. I wasn't going to leave you alone was I!"
It was then that she noticed she had something up her nose and it was irritating her. "What's in my nose?" She asked, trying to pull them out. However John quickly pulled her hand away. "What?" She asked, annoyed. "Not a good idea!" John replied. "You had a serious nosebleed that wouldn't stop so I just used what I could find." "Oh...okay." She frowned and felt confused. "You could have at least given me one of my painkillers. You know where they are!" And she began searching through her trouser pocket. "Well..." He hesitated and then smirked. "...I didn't want to go searching through your pockets. You know...after last time!" She narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously as she took out her painkillers. "You were so upset!" He said and she looked away. "Yes. I suppose I was." She muttered and took a painkiller. Her head began to feel better in seconds. Then she tried to take the cotton balls out again. John took her arm again. "Better leave them in, just to be on the safe side." He said and smiled. Jaime smiled back despite having a really bad feeling.
Now she looked around at her surroundings. "Where are we? Cos this is definitely not the TARDIS." "No. It's not." He replied in a non-chalant way and she looked at him, frowning. "Are you okay?" She asked the Half-Time Lord and he looked at her almost startled. "Oh...yes! Molto bene!" She continued staring at him and he felt her reading his mind. "I'm just a bit disorientated really. One minute I was in Torchwood, the next I found myself here." Jaime sat up straighter, eyes wide and John panicked. "Does that mean Rose and the Doctor are here too?" John smirked. "Possibly. I think we may have been separated." She groaned in annoyance and she felt his confusion. "What?" "I thought we'd Teleport back to Earth but if the Doctor and Rose are here we have to find them." "I don't think we're even near Earth to Teleport back down." He said and she giggled quite suddenly. "Doctor!" She groaned and he looked around, startled. She took his hand. "You really must have been disorientated, huh!" Jaime said. He smiled nervously and she frowned. He felt different for some odd reason and couldn't figure out why. "We don't need to be out of Earth's range to be able to Teleport back. I can even..." An intuition made her stop talking and she narrowed her eyes. "What? What were you going to say?" John asked a little forcefully. But then he hesitated and said. "Teleport into the TARDIS." She looked at him nervously. "Sure we could. But we need to find the Doctor and Rose first." She nodded her head.
"Come on then!" The teenager scooted off the bed and followed J.D out of the medical wing. "Do you know where to go?" She asked as she held his hand. He smirked down at her. "No, I've no idea. Isn't that..." He hesitated and Jaime frowned at him. Maybe the water can cause memory loss or something. "...Wizard!" He finished. "Yeah, I suppose!" She muttered, not sounding very enthusiastic. John noticed this. "What is it?" He asked. She could feel every one of her senses, apart from smell, telling her something was wrong. And when she looked back she had expected to see someone following them. But nobody was there. "Oh, nothing really. It's all okay." He didn't say anything else as they walked along the corridor of the strange ship. "What are they anyway?" Jaime asked and John grunted. "The water things. What are they?" "Things?" He said and she felt anger wash off him. The teenager shuddered. "Hydra," he said. "That's what...they...are. THEY come from a watery planet called Lakeworld..."
It was then that he heard sobbing and felt her let go of his hand. He turned to the crying teenager. "Hey? What's wrong?" He asked and caressed her face but she stepped back from him. "You're not real are you? You're not John!" "Oh!" He said and smirked in a not nice way. "Oh, you ARE good. Really good. No wonder he wants you." Sobbing, she wondered who the mysterious 'he' was. She took a couple of scared steps back. "Take me back to the Doctor...now!" She demanded but the Hydra just smirked. "We can't do that. Oh, and don't even think of trying to Teleport because you can't!" When the threat came from the thing that looked like J.D it felt all the more truthful and scary. Eyes wide, Jaime turned tail and ran. Only she ended up slipping on a puddle of water and fell pretty hard. By the time she managed to get her wits about her she found she was surrounded by four of the Hydra's. "leave me alone, please." In reply a wall of water hit her, soaking her to the skin. And the water must have had a natural tranquilliser because she was starting to feel really sleepy. "Bugg..." She mumbled and fell back to the floor, unconscious.
When she woke up again Jaime had no idea where she was and why she'd been dumped on what felt like a hot planet. The grass she was lying on was looking like a blackened mess. She groaned and scrambled to her feet, then looked around at her surroundings. She had to squint because the sun was too bright. It looked like she was in a park except all the trees were scorched, dead and leafless. Over to her left was a pond...or what was left of it...dried up and dusty. But when she continued to look around the park her senses went into overdrive. This place felt really familiar for some odd reason. And then she realised she could smell again but there was a really bad smell. Like how meat smells when it's burnt. Following her nose Jaime ran across the park until she came across several charred remains. They were child size and the smell was so bad that she put her hand over her nose. But that didn't stop the barrel rolls in her stomach and she groaned.
Turning away Jaime fell to her knees and puked out what she had eaten that morning. Eyes watering she groaned again until she spotted a toy hover car lying on the burnt grass. It was now a burnt and melted mess. "No!" She croaked as a memory came to her. A group of kids were quite happily running around on the yellow grass, playing with their toy hover car. Now she just stared at that melted mess with wide eyes. It couldn't be, it just couldn't be.
Scrambling to her feet Jaime ran out of the park, following her instincts. All the buildings looked like some sort of fire had happened, all the windows were glassless, broken. She suddenly stopped at a building she recognised. It was the Entertainment Centre she, the Doctor, Rose and John had visited. Now just a ruined mess. "But this is Planet Fiction," she croaked. "What happened to it?" Jaime got no answer. Everybody was dead and the sun was far too hot. Confused, she walked into the building but it was worse inside than it was outside. The smell was horrendous so she covered her nose and mouth with her shirt. Her eyes still watered but she spotted a discarded half-burnt portable Fiction Machine. To find out what happened she needed to pick it up. Shivering and taking a deep breath, which probably wasn't such a good idea in this situation, she picked up the Fiction Machine and closed her eyes. In her mind she saw waves of fiery Solar flares hit and people screaming in pain as they caught fire and died still burning, becoming a blackened mess.
Letting out a startled yelp Jaime's eyes flashed open and she quickly dropped the box like it was hot. "Solar flares!" She gasped. "How and why did that happen?" She asked herself, not expecting an answer. They were here only a couple of weeks ago! Why didn't the Doctor know this was going to happen? Why didn't she feel it coming?
"Perhaps because it was never supposed to happen." A voice spoke up and she screamed in surprise, whirling around. That shouldn't have happened. No-one should be able to sneak up on her like that. "Who is it? Who's there?" Jaime demanded. There was somebody here. She could practically sense the malevolence. "Show yourself!" Her voice echoed and that person laughed callously. "Mind control won't work on me." He said and he stepped out of the shadows. Her eyes widening Jaime gasped and took a few panicked steps back, recognising him from several episodes of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures'. It was the Trickster and surely it couldn't be a coincidence considering the Doctor only just dealt with him. "What do you want? Wh..what are you doing here?" She tried to sound as threatening as possible but she was scared and doing her best to keep it hidden. The Trickster smirked at her and answered her previous question about the planet. "What happened to this planet and it's twin was your fault!" It told her and Jaime narrowed her eyes. "What?" She replied. "How is it my fault?" "Oh? Didn't the Time Lord ever tell you what you did?"
He...it...was confusing her and she could feel a heat related headache coming on. "What? What did I do?" "You destroyed the twin planet and this one suffered in turn." She was very guarded and maybe she was getting a bit angry too. "No!" Jaime growled. "I'm not going to listen to your lies. I know who you are and I know what you can do. You're the Trickster from the Pantheon of Discord..." She felt his surprise. "...and you lie to people just to get them to join your little brigade. And you usually want something. But I'm not listening. I'm not going to listen to your complete bull!" However, the Trickster just smirked and laughed evilly. "How does your fellow humans put this sentence...seeing is believing?"
Suddenly they were somewhere else. They were on a different planet, in a village that was suffering from a lot of storm damage. But it didn't feel like any normal storm. She was soon proved right when the Tornado died down and it turned out to be her. Then she watched as her younger self stomped angrily, causing a ruckus, before zooming into the air. She came back down, driving herself into the ground while causing a hell of an explosion and Earthquake. The power behind that explosion scared Jaime. Was this when she'd been under the influence of the Chimera? She couldn't even remember any of this and of course she'd been pretty sick afterwards. Several minutes later the sun came close enough to cause terrible damage to the planet. Jaime squeaked in fright but found herself back in the Entertainment Centre.
Once again she was feeling sick and it was worse than before. Face pale she bent over and puked out what was left in her stomach, the truth too strong to handle. She groaned and sighed shakily as she stood up straight. "Why didn't they tell me?" She croaked, feeling very hurt. "I asked them but they just stood there and said nothing." The Trickster smirked knowing that she was hurt by the Time Lord's betrayal. Now was the time to act. Though because of how warm it was in the building he didn't notice the stifling change or that her hair was being blown about by warm wind. "You are a powerful human. Powerful beyond the known limits of abilities. Join me and you will be even more powerful."
Jaime laughed at this but it sounded rather bitter. "Good luck with that. My abilities are killing me! I'm not exactly minion material." But the Trickster didn't seem to mind this. "I could help you live forever. I could take away your pain and give you immortality..." Jaime stared at the Trickster angrily. "Who the hell do you think you are?" She shouted. "How dare you!" The air was getting warmer and that warm wind blowing at her hair was getting more prominent. "That is MY haemorrhage and you will NOT touch it...so stay the hell away." The Trickster couldn't understand why she was so attached to her debilitating condition. It was silly and he really, really wanted her by his side, working for him, not travelling with the Time Lord. "But I can help you live forever!" He tried.
"I told you to LEAVE ME ALONE!" She shouted, chest heaving. Her voice had gone loud and she looked very angry. "I just want to go home." But home was another universe away. The Trickster stepped closer to her, very desperate to get her on his side. The mind manipulation by the Hydra should have worked, which meant her mind was strong despite her condition. "Just think. No more head pain, no more medicine. Immortality! I will not take no for an answer and I will NOT leave you alone." "No?" Jaime snarled, looking at him with so much anger and hate. She was barely thinking and it felt like the old anger was back. "Well FUCK YOU!" She shouted and her hands caught fire, her hair flying all over the place. "And you've got my answer!" Before he even had a chance to react two very big fireballs were flung at him and he howled in surprise as he was ignited. "You'll regret this!" He shouted before disappearing. Once her fire was out Jaime fell to the floor, curled into a ball and cried.
Hours later there was a wheezing/groaning sound and then an odd wind kicked up. Seconds later the TARDIS materialised outside and the Doctor exited first. He looked around with a grim expression. Rose exited second and instantly covered her nose when the smell of burnt meat wafted up her nose. "Blimey! Where are we?" She asked. "What's left of Planet Fiction...about three weeks after we visited." The Doctor replied grimly and Rose's eyes widened. "Why would she come here?" "I doubt she came here willingly. This has got Trickster written all over it." He took his Sonic out and set it to scan, then followed where the anomaly was coming from. Rose joined him. "Do you really think it was a good idea to leave J.D at Torchwood?" She asked the Time Lord. "Of course!" Was the quick reply. "He was far too emotional to be part of this search for Jaime. What's worse about this is that he's part Donna. Desperation and loneliness makes a person do stupid things. And I should know!" Rose looked at him with her brows raised. "Anyway, we promised to pick him up once we found Jaime. Come on, this way." They rushed to a building they recognised as the Entertainment Centre and when Rose tried to walk in through the door she was forced back by a firestorm of heat.
"Ouch! It's like an oven in there." She said. For some inexplicable reason the inside of the building was on fire. But when the Doctor scanned it with his Sonic and checked the results he sighed and shook his head. "Doctor?" "A Portal has been opened up." He replied. "A Portal made from fire. She's using her Pyrokinesis again...which probably means her..." "Doctor!" Rose shook him from his thoughts. "Can you tell where it goes to?" He scanned it. "Dry desert and minimal water." "So we just find the planet she's on." But the Doctor shook his head. "Rose, there are hundreds of planets that have dry landscapes. She could be on any one of them." Rose snorted in disbelief. "So we keep searching." She took his hand not holding the Sonic and he smiled. "Come on!" They ran back to the TARDIS where it dematerialised, leaving the dead to themselves once again.
