Chapter 2: Prisoner Zero/Atraxi

I don't own Doctor Who whatsoever, and just a fan with an idea.

Recap:

"You said six months! Why did you say six months?" The Doctor said

"We've gotta go." Amy replied, avoiding the question

"This matters. This is important! Why did you say six months?" The Doctor said insistently.

I looked at the ground, tears somewhat starting to form as memories came back. Memories of being teased by my classmates, Amy and I having to go to the Psychiatrists. Amy and I both snapped at him, shouting "Well why did you say five minutes?!" He stared at us, finally realising what he had been missing. He was in shock, and Amy's eyes were wide. I covered my face, he now knew. We were the little Scottish twin girls, he had promised 5 minutes, and returned 12 years later.

He whispered loudly "...What..."


Avery's POV

Amy looked at me, gave me a quick hug. Which I shrugged off as I wiped my eyes, I needed to be strong. The Doctor maybe here, but he was clearly wasn't exactly with it. Not with the stories that Jack told of his adventures with the Doctor, and that the Doctor just regenerated if the weird glowy stuff Amy told me about before was correct.

"Come on." Amy said, the Doctor was still trying to figure it out.

"What?"

"Come on!"

"What?!" the Doctor was still not grasping the new news very well, Amy pulled him by the hand and we ran out of our garden as the weird voice continued. We ran pass the man and the dog, while the man barks. The voice said "Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence, or the human residence will be incinerated..." still. When would the voice shut up?

We ran up the village road, towards the square when the Doctor stopped, turning to Amy. "You're Amelia." Turned to me, and said "Meaning you have to be Avery." I gave him a disgruntled look, as we kept walking. He caught up with us, and Amy said "You're late."

"Amelia Pond! Avery Pond! You're the little girls!"

"I'm Amelia, and you're late!" she said,

"I'm still Avery... And you're definitely late!" I added

"What happened?!" the Doctor shouted, getting us some looks from passing by people.

"Twelve years." I replied

"You hit me with a cricket bat!"

"Twelve years!" Amy replied

"A cricket bat!"

"Twelve years, and four psychiatrists. Right Aves?" I nodded in agreement.

"...Four?"

"...I kept biting them." Amy admitted

"Why?" the Doctor asked, clearly finding this funny. I shook my head.

"They said you weren't real." I replied, smirking. Amy and I promised to never tell anyone that she wasn't the one who bit them, I did. I was after all the one who was supposed to be calmer, even being Scottish. But I was passionate about the Doctor being real, I had always believe he would come back for us. Suddenly we heard the voice, it was blaring out of the speakers of an ice cream van "Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence, or the human residence will be incinerated."

"No no no, come on. What? We're being staked out... by an ice cream van" Amy said, we ran up to the van.

"What's that? Why are you playing that?" The Doctor said even though he probably knew.

"It's supposed to be Clair De Lune." The ice cream man told us. The Doctor picked up the radio, holding it to his ear. He played around with the radio, and wanders off to the side of the ice cream van. I followed him; everything with speakers was playing the same thing. Amy followed us and asked "Doctor, what's happening?" We looked around for a bit and ran off in different directions. The Doctor leaped over some guy's garden fence.

The Doctor and I ran into Mrs. Angelo's house through the unlocked door, he skidded on the carpet as he headed into the living room with me just behind him. Where Mrs. Angelo was playing with her remote. On the screen is a very familiar giant eyeball, whizzing around repeating the same words as the voice outside. I closed my eyes and thought back to the files I had read that morning. There was a file on Atraxi, with the eyeball as its profile photo. It was a species which formed a galactic police force. They were known to be very efficient with their work, tracking down any prisoners who escaped their facilities and executing them. Though they aren't exactly bright. The Doctor said to Mrs. Angelo "Hello! Sorry to burst in, we're doing a special on television faults in this area." Then Amy bursts in suddenly, and I laughed as he added "...Also, crimes. Let's have a look." He walked over to check out the remote.

"I was just about to phone... It's on every channel!" Mrs. Angelo said, and then she noticed Amy and said "Oh, hello Amy dear! ...Are you a policewoman now?"

"Well! Sometimes..." Amy replied embarrassed.

"I thought you were a nurse." Mrs. Angelo said, and the Doctor looked up at Amy curiously. I quirked my eyebrow at her.

"I can. Be a nurse." she said

"Or, actually a nun?"

"I dabble!" Amy laughed

"Amy? Avery, who's your friend?" Mrs. Angelo asked us, ignoring what Amy said about dabbling.

"Who's Amy? You're Amelia." Doctor asked confused.

"Yeah, now I'm Amy!"

"Amelia Pond! That was a great name!"

"...Bit fairytale." Amy replied, I laughed. The Doctor stared at Amy, but was interrupted from his staring by Mrs. Angelo saying to the Doctor "I know, you, don't I? I mean I've seen you somewhere before!"

"Not me. Brand new face." He stretched his face as wide as he could. "First time on. And what sort of job's a kissogram?"

"I go to parties, and... I kiss people... With outfits. It's a laugh!"

"You were a little girl five minutes ago!" The Doctor said, still not exactly getting why.

"You're worse than my aunt."

"I'm the Doctor, I'm worse than everybody's aunt!" He turned to Mrs. Angelo and said "And, that is not how I'm introducing myself." She nodded, a little bit bemused. He turned and started using his screwdriver to the radio, tuning it to different channels. The voice of the Atraxi came out in different languages. That's interesting. It had to mean, that the human resident was earth. I gave a sight sound of disagreement as I worked it out. I reached towards my wrist, and remembered I took off the communication device and that thing was still probably at home. I growled, and then remembered that I had the phone number, smiling I said "Mrs. Angelo, mind if I use your phone?"

"Go ahead dear." She replied, I walked over to where the phone was. I could hear the Atraxi voice coming from the phone speaker. It would have to do, just need to see if I can make the call. I dialed the number, and then the pass code. I heard the slight bit of dial tone, and Gwen replied "Hello?"

"Hey, it's Avery. It seems like we got problems. One, the Atraxi are threatening to incinerate earth! And the Doctor is without his tools, and just regenerated. Just tell Jack this; I'll get back to you guys when I know more." I hung up, I knew Gwen had written it all down and would tell Jack. I came back into the room as the Doctor came to the conclusion "Okay. So it's everywhere. In every language. They're broadcasting to the whole world." He ran over to the window, opened it and leaned out looking up at the sky. I walked over and joined him looking up.

"What's up there? What are you looking at?" Amy asked as the Doctor pulled himself back in, and started wandering around the room. I pulled myself back in, closing the window behind me.

"Okay. Planet this size, two poles? Your basic molten core? Uh, they're gonna need a forty per cent fission blast." The Doctor said, and Jeff walked in through the front door behind the Doctor. The Doctor walked up to Jeff, backing him against the wall, as the Doctor leaned right up close to him.

"But they'll have to power up first. So, assuming a medium sized star ship... that's twenty minutes. What do you think? Twenty minutes?" He continued, he bounced up and down, raising and lowering himself on his tiptoes to equal Jeff's height, then back to his own height, then up again. I laughed at this, clearly the new him had height problems. "Yeah... Twenty minutes. We've got twenty minutes." The Doctor confirmed.

"Twenty minutes to what?" Amy asked, and I was about to reply when Jeff asked the Doctor "Are you the Doctor?"

"He is, isn't he? He's the Doctor! The Raggedy Doctor! All those cartoons you two did when you were little? The Raggedy Doctor! It's him!" Mrs. Angelo added

Amy cleared her throat and said "...Shut up."

"...Cartoons?" The doctor said as he heads over towards the telly, and slumps onto the sofa. Jeff wandered closer and said "Gran? It's him, isn't it? It's really him!"

"Jeff, shut up! Twenty minutes to what?" Amy snapped at Jeff and asked the Doctor. I walked over and sat on the sofa next to the Doctor. Then the Doctor announced our demise if we couldn't stop this, "The human residence. They're not talking about your house, they're talking about the planet. Somewhere up there, there's a spaceship. Aaand, it's going to incinerate the planet." He paused and we said together, "Twenty minutes to the end of the world." He glanced up at Amy, who was staring at us. I stared at both of them quiet. There was twenty minutes to the end of the world.


Well this was an interesting chapter huh? I just realized that I never thanked the guy who put the script for the episode up on the internet. So thanks to rodneymckay1968 on livejournal. You made writing out whole episodes of Doctor Who much easier for fanfics. Now I can actually be accurate to what happens in the actual episode since I don't have access easily to the actual episode. So sucky... But now I can continue without memory. So woohoo! And there should be a image for this fanfic soon enough, just need access to a mac. And hopefully I remember how to do it. But anyways the next chapter should be up soon enough, and please do review! Thanks
