So I came back from my mother's birthday dinner, had a slice of chocolate cake, and thought, 'I'm going to write another chapter of Compaion Pains'. Two hours later, here it is :)

Sarah Jane smiled. "Hello, Mickey," she replied. "Long time no see."
The Doctor whipped his head in Mickey's direction. "You know her?!" he exclaimed, bewildered. Mickey nodded.
"I met her when we were fighting some Krillitanes." The Doctor narrowed his eyebrows.
"What are you talking about?" he demanded. "I've never fought any Krillitanes with you!"
Mickey nodded as he realized something. "Right, you're not there yet—"
"Enough!" Dalek Sec shouted. It stared at the Doctor, no emotion showing on its metal face, but its words shook with a shaking anger. "Tell us how you got on board and what your plans are, or you will be exterminated!"
The Doctor paused for a moment, and put a fake look on his face that said he was thinking hard.
"Er—no." the Doctor said simply. Then he flashed one of his grins and glanced at the other four. His eyes lingered a little longer on Sarah Jane; he still couldn't believe she was here!
Dalek Sec watched how he looked at his companions. The Dalek stared at the Doctor once the Doctor had focused his gaze back on it.
"If you do not tell us how you got on, these other humans shall be exterminated," Dalek Sec threatened. The smile was wiped from the Doctor's face, and was quickly replaced by a look of anger.
"If you dare," he thundered, "I will tear you to scraps."
The Dalek didn't look the least bit scared. It just turned around, and rolled over to Amy, who stumbled backward a bit in fear.
"Leave her alone!" the Doctor yelled. Dalek Sec ignored him, and advanced on Amy until she was flattened against the wall. She shut her eyes tightly.
"Tell us how you got on, or she will be exterminated!"
"Stop it!" Mickey yelled.
"Leave her be!" Sarah Jane bellowed.
"She didn't do anything!" Martha cried. The Dalek ignored them. He aimed his gun right at Amy's chest.
"How did you get on board?"
"Teleport!" the Doctor bellowed. "Let her go!"
"Where is the device?" Dalek Sec demanded, keeping its aim on Amy.
The Doctor looked fearful.
"Just give it to him!" Martha yelled.
"I can't!"
"Give us the device or she will be exterminated!"
"Doctor, just give it to him!" Amy cried in fear, keeping her eyes shut tightly.
"I can't!" he yelled.
"She will be exterminated!" the Dalek yelled. "Exterminate!"

Rose could hear the movement of the Cybermen in the warehouse above as she took up the rear of the group of people they had saved. Maria hurried along next to her, helping Rose urge the people forward. Jack and the Doctor (who knew where an escape through the fence surrounding the warehouse complex was) were leading the group through a narrow hallway. Rose heard one of them open a door all the way in the front. She couldn't see them though; the Doctor and Jack had the only lantern they had in the front lighting the way. The lantern was very bright, but behind thirty people, Maria and Rose couldn't see very well.
One by one, everyone moved through the door, obeying every one of the Doctor's hushed orders. Rose knew they must have been terrified, but they also knew the Doctor was trying to help them, so they obeyed, in hope that they could escape the nightmare that was occurring on the floor above.
The Doctor and Jack lead the group down another hallway, which Rose saw a dim light at the end of. Over the sea of heads, Rose could see a door with a window, which light leaked through. They were out!
She heard one of the men open it. The group didn't move for a few seconds; the Doctor and Jack must have been making sure the coast was clear. The group moved up a small amount and then was still for a few minutes after that. One of the men probably was taking a small group to safety; it would be completely foolish to take all of the people, which tallied up to around thirty, not including the Doctor, Jack, Maria (who seemed to be a part of the team all of the sudden), and Rose herself.
The line moved up a bit; they must have been taking another group to safety. As the rear of the group began to approach the door, Rose began to see the Doctor appearing, taking five people, and disappearing for a few minutes. He'd then come back and take more people.
When there were only two people in front of Maria and Rose, the Doctor beckoned them to come forward.
"You too, guys," he said to Rose, Maria, and Jack. They followed the Doctor through the door. Jack shut it behind them, and they were into the fresh night air. The sun had almost completely set during the time that they had been inside the warehouse, helping people escape from the upgrading chamber.
They snuck around the back of the warehouse, and slipped passed a couple more. Rose was worried the entire time that they would come across some Cybermen, but surprisingly, they made it though the short journey without incident.
The two civilians (a young man and a little boy) didn't say anything as they hurried through the warehouse complex. Maria was silent as well. Rose glanced at her and saw her face determined and focused.
The Doctor stopped and put his hand up, signaling for them to be still. He looked over his shoulder, putting his finger to his lip, and then took a step forward. He peeked his head around the corner of the warehouse they were behind for a second, and then nodded at Jack. He tossed Jack the pulsar. Jack gave a thumbs up, and hurried around the side.
Rose heard a crackling noise, followed by a t hump and the Cyberman Jack deactivated fell to the ground. Jack reappeared and nodded, signaling the coast to be clear.
They didn't meet another Cyberman, and within a minute, the Doctor was pulling back some barbed wire in the fence, letting the father and son through. Once on the other side, the father glanced back and whispered thanks, tears of relief starting to fall down his cheeks. He picked his son up, holding him close, and the man took off across the grass towards the road. He hurried around some trees, and the two disappeared.
"This is how I got in," the Doctor hissed to Rose and Maria. He took his sonic out and twirled it between his fingers. "Thanks to this handy tool." He glanced at Maria. "This is where we let you off." The Doctor pulled the barbed wire back, making a space big enough for Maria to get through. "Off you go."
Maria's mouth dropped open. "You're not getting rid of me that easy!" she said. "I'm in this now. I'm going to stay until the end."
"Maria," Rose said firmly. "We want you to be safe. Go through. Go back to your family."
"No," Maria told her firmly. "This isn't new to me. Sarah Jane taught me how to deal with aliens, and I'm not going to run away just because I haven't fought this alien before. I can help you."
"Maria, it isn't safe—" Rose began, but Maria interrupted.
"That isn't going to work," Maria snapped. "I am 23 years old. How old are you?"
Rose bit her lip. "19," she murmured. "But—"
"Then if anything, you should be the one going through the barbed wire right now." She glanced at Jack and the Doctor. "You're not shaking me off."
Jack let out a whistle. "Well said," he told her. Maria gave him a smile.
The Doctor searched her face. "Are you sure?" Maria grinned even bigger and nodded. The Doctor let a small smile appear on his face. "Well any friend of Sarah is a friend of mine."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Jack asked. "Come on!"
They hurried past some warehouses, Jack leading the way to the control center.

Rory tumbled through the darkness. He squeezed his eyes shut as he let out a cry of fear. The wind rushed in his ears. Rory was sure it was his imagination, but he could have sworn he could hear Calcon laughing as he plummeted to his death.
At least he'd be with Amy.
Suddenly, he wasn't falling anymore. There wasn't any ground beneath his feet. He should have still been falling, but he wasn't. And then he realized why.
Someone was gripping his hand with an iron strong grip. Above his head, he heard a groan of effort.
"Pull!" he heard a familiar voice hiss. He tried to look up, and caught sight of curly blond hair. The hand didn't loosen its grip.
"Grab my hand!" a different voice hissed, this time male. Rory threw his other hand blindly up into the air, but nothing grabbed it. "Try again," the male voice said. Rory threw his hand up again, and this time, another hand grab it and gripped it tight. When this happened, his body turned, and his knees hit the rock wall of the pit. The hands struggled to pull him up.
"Rory, try to scale the wall," said a different female voice. The hands pulled him upward, and Rory threw his feet against the wall and tried to start walking up. He made some progress, the hands pulling him up a few inches.
"That's it, Rory," said the male voice.
After a few minutes of work, Rory was pulled onto solid land. He collapsed face first, into the dirt breathing heavily. Two other bodies did the same. He heard them panting.
He looked up after a minute, and a torchlight shined in his face.
"I forgot I had this," Clara Oswald said quietly.
"Clara?" Rory asked bewildered. In the newly lit light, Rory could see the faces of his rescuers. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought he recognized their voices, but he had thought they fell to their deaths. River Song lay breathing heavily on one side, the Doctor lying on his back panting on his other side. He looked up again, and now that he was looking, he saw Donna Noble standing behind Clara, a look of relief on her face.
Rory smiled in relief and plopped his face back in the dirt.
After a few minutes, the three people lying on the ground got to their feet and backed away from the edge of what Rory thought to be a small cave on the side of the pit. Once they were a safe distance away, Rory pulled River into a hug. Then he hugged the other three.
"Are you alright?" he asked them rather loudly. To his surprise, Clara shushed him.
"Be quiet," she hissed. "Calcon could be watching."
Rory nodded in understanding. He turned to Clara, who had been the first to fall. "How did you manage to grab the edge of that?" he asked in amazement.
An unreadable look crossed her face. "I didn't," she said.
"What do you mean?" the Doctor asked. River also looked surprised. This must be news to them, too. Donna didn't look surprised though.
"Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me up," Clara told them.
"Who?" River asked. Clara shrugged.
"I didn't see their face. They wore a hood and a mask. I just know it was a girl. She told me to be quiet because Calcon might be listening. Then she hurried to the edge as Donna fell and grabbed her hand. With my help, we pulled her up. She warned us that River was going to fall next, and then said—" She faltered. Rory glanced at the bewildered faces of River and the Doctor.
"What did she say?" the Doctor urged.
"This is the weird bit," Clara said. "Well, the weirdest bit, seeing the whole thing was weird. She said that Donna…" She trailed off and glanced at Donna. In the torchlight, Rory saw Donna's confused face.
"She said," Donna whispered, "that I had something on my back."
Rory saw the Doctor's eyes widen. "She said what?"
"That I had something on my back."
"What does that mean?" Rory asked. The Doctor didn't answer. Rory repeated the question, as did Clara and Donna, but he wouldn't tell them. Instead he said, "What happened next?"
"Well," Clara said, evidently giving up on getting the Doctor to spill what 'something on her back meant'. "She told us to stay and help River once she fell, and then turned around and walked down the tunnel. We saw a flash of blue light. Donna stayed here and I hurried down the tunnel. She was gone. Donna called for me to come and help her with River, so I went back." She paused. "She had disappeared in a flash of blue light… just like the person who gave me this torch, and helped the Doctor escape from the torture chamber."

I hope you liked the chapter. And I think we may possibly be getting close to the end of this story. Don't worry, it wont be for while. I just think that we're closer than the end than the beginning.
