~~A.N~~ Come on guys I need some reviews... please...
I could see Maive, she was on her knees in front of River, her eyes still had a cold determined gleam in them but she knew that her best chances of coming out of her situation unscathed was to stay as she was. Mikel, her boss was being restrained by Rory and a memory of the Doctor telling Rory to put Hitler into the cupboard came into my mind. I smiled as Kaya got up and joined our little circle of people around Maive.
" What'd I miss?" he asked plainly put an arm on my shoulder.
" Maive pretty much just surrendered to us... what's the word I'm looking for?" I paused speaking to Maive a bit mockingly, " Oh yea... Checkmate."
Maive and Mikel were dragged forcibly into the TARDIS which was parked in the bathroom shower stall. I smiled happily, I was finally back in the TARDIS again, back in my home where my heart would swell with joy and happiness. I spun freely around, the room twirled around me making me dizzy and I teetered into the Doctor's chest where he held me. I really missed this, the doctor, his tender hands that were so gentle with me and would hold me steady when I was about to fall.
Kaya was looking around the TARDIS in awe, the bigger on the inside theory seemed hard for him to grasp, he was babbling random things to Jack who was trying to explain things to him as gently as he could. The Doctor was smiling at me and I was smiling back, the TARDIS was my home, the Doctor was my home.
"Maive O'Brien, Mikel Frenson, you are hereby being arrested by Torchwood for the kidnapping and attempted murder of Alexandra Tarvin. Also you are both being charged with numerous humanitarian crimes, included forced starvation of the people of Atlantis, using children in combat, and breaking the Geneva Convention." Jack said after everyone had calmed down from their associated shock of the TARDIS, " You will be escorted to Torchwood where you will await trial by jury in front of the Shadow Proclamation."
" You can't do this! I am the head of the Altaian military force! Who will keep atlantis safe if I'm arrested!" Mikel shouted his face turning a bright cherry red.
" I'm sure that there is someone that can take your place," The Doctor said smiling at the frantic Mikel.
" Who? No one knows how to run the systems or how to properly command the different units! Replacing me asks for a certain disaster!" Mikel give a bit of a sideways look at Kaya as he spoke and the Doctor smiled wider.
" I have the perfect idea of who can lead the military power, he's a very bright young man who has showed that he has a deep rooted sense of right from wrong. I think that he'll make a perfect replacement for you Mr. Frenson," The Doctor was staring at Kaya with a large smile on his face.
" You've gotta be kidding! Theres no way that Kaya could run the whole system by himself! He's just a worm in the dirt! A replaceable man!" Mikel was screaming spit flying from his mouth as his hair became dishevelled.
" He won't be alone, he'll have help, he's a better man then you will ever be Frenson," I growled out with a dark angry expression on my face.
Kaya was standing at the sidelines his face was blank and surprise was in his eyes as he tried to understand what we were talking about, " Me? Take his job?"
" Of course! You'll do great, there's no one else who could do the job as good as you can Kaya, go, go tell your people about how you will lead them in times of good and bad, that you will be their lantern in the dark, keep them safe and hold their hands. Lead them, guide them, most of all stand beside them." I smiled rubbing Kaya's shoulder fondly.
Kaya nodded, he was ready and he knew it to take on his new responsibility to the people that he held so dear to his heart. The Doctor and I knew that he would be able to take Atlantis to higher levels of glory. Lighten the pain of his fellow comrades and bring smiles back to the old, teaching the young. The Doctor took Kaya to the side and began to speak to him in hushed tones, probably trying to give him some advice on how to lead a nation. Rory and Amy were watching Maive to make sure that she wasn't going to try anything else and Jack was glaring down at Frenson. I remember him mentioning the Geneva Convention and I didn't have a clue about what it was.
" Hey... Jack... what's the Geneva Convention? I've heard of it before in world history but I really don't know what it is," I said standing at his side.
"It's hard to explain in a simple way but well ...The Geneva Conventions comprise four treaties, and three additional protocols, that establish the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment of war. The singular term Geneva Convention denotes the agreements of 1949, negotiated in the aftermath of the Second World War, which updated the terms of the first three treaties 1864, 1906, 1929, and added a fourth treaty.
The articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention extensively defined the basic, wartime rights of prisoners; established protections for the wounded; and established protections for the civilians in and around a war zone. The treaties of 1949 were ratified, in whole or with reservations, by 194 countries. Moreover, the Geneva Convention also defines the rights and protections afforded to non-combatants, yet, because the Geneva Conventions are about people in war, the articles do not address warfare proper — the use of weapons of war — which is the subject of the Hague Conventions, and the bio–chemical warfare Geneva Protocol. But, with the Geneva Conventions it puts down a baseline treatment for everyone in a war zone," Jack paused to breath his voice cold and hard, " Atlantis has been in war for over three thousand years, both the Altaians and the Blood Elves agreed to the codes of the Geneva Conventions."
I nodded slowly sort of understanding what he was talking about, half not really knowing, " So... it's like war laws?"
" To simplify that far then yes it is like laws in wars," Jack frowns at Frenson, " The Atlanteans have been capturing Blood Elves and putting them in labor camps, starving them to death. It's cruel and disgusting, also against the law, so we are taking them into custody so that they will have to properly pay for their crimes."
" You also mentioned something called... the Shadow Proclamation? What's that?" I asked.
" The Shadow Proclamation are like intergalactic police, since Atlanteans are considered 'Aliens' the Shadow Proclamation is the only agency other than Torchwood that would have legitimate claim over what they are doing down here. Technically it's in Torchwoods jurisdiction but to help promote peace with the Shadow Proclamation we'll do a trial by jury with them. I would also imagine that they would handle the sentencing, I'd personally rather handle this all myself but even I have rules that I have to follow." Jack looked tired of trying to explain things to me so I decided to let it drop.
Kaya was done talking to the Doctor and was waiting by the door, he seemed to be waiting for me, I made my way over to him so we could talk. His smile was thoughtful and a little sad, like his heart was broken but he was trying to push past the pain inside himself.
" Alex... you're a sweet and beautiful woman, I would ask you to stay with me and help me lead but it is apparent to me that this blue box is your home. That is something I could never dream of taking away from you, a home, a place where your heart is safe. We will both move on and away from each other but you will always be in my heart, the girl who taught me, and I hope that I remain in yours," he paused and I was about to speak and he put a finger to my lips, " You will find a man in your life that makes you happy, someone that is your best friend, you would die and live for them, just... don't look too far for that person because he might be closer than you think."
His head nudged to the side towards the Doctor who was talking to Amy, " Kaya... Thank you. Find that person for yourself...please."
" I will Alex... now I must go... I have a country to lead," Kaya wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him back.
After we broke apart from our embrace he stepped out of the TARDIS and back into the world, this was his final move in our game of chess. His final play... the check mate.
