Disclaimer: I Don't own Doctor Who that goes to the BBC
A few weeks later, Amy was sitting in the swing under the console room floor looking at her engagement ring. She slips it onto her finger just as the Doctor poked his head down, "Vavoom!" He yelled.
"Va-what?" Amy asked as the Doctor and Rose ran about the console flicking switches as Amy joined him.
"I can't believe we've never thought of this before, it's genius," the Doctor announced as the Tardis materialized on a planet, "Right! Landed, come on."
"Where are we?" Amy asked as he and Rose headed for the Tardis's door.
"Planet One, the oldest planet in the universe. There's a cliff of pure diamond and, according to legend, on the cliff there's writing, letters 50 feet high, a message from the dawn of time, and no-one knows what it says, 'cause no-one's ever translated it. Till today," the Doctor answered.
"What happens today?" Amy asked them.
"Us. The TARDIS can translate anything. All we have to do is open the doors and read the very first words in recorded history," the Doctor answered.
"Almost anything," Rose corrected, "The Tardis cannot translate languages that came before the Universe or our native language of Gallifreyan."
The Doctor reaches out and Amy places her hand in his as the three of them exited the Tardis.
The Doctor, Rose and Amy stepped out onto the tropical planet and looked up at the cliff-face and they saw that there were large letters that read 'HELLO DOCTOR, HELLO ROSE' with modern Gallifreyan underneath the large words that were co-ordinates for both Gallifreyans.
"Vavoom!" Amy chuckled.
The Tardis soon materialized at the coordinates as the Doctor, Rose and Amy stepped out of the Tardis.
"Right place?" Amy asked them.
"Just followed the co-ordinates on the cliff-face. Earth. Britain," the Doctor answered as checked his watch, "1:02am. No, pm."
"No, Doctor, it's AD," Rose said as she saw a large Roman encampment in front of them.
"That's a Roman Legion," Amy told them.
"Well, yeah. The Romans invaded Britain several times during this period," the Doctor told her.
"Yeah, even one Julius Caesar attempted it in 55 BC," Rose added.
"Oh, I know. My favourite topic at school," Amy told them, "Invasion of the hot Italians. Yeah, I did get marked down for the title."
A breathless Roman soldier then suddenly ran up to them and saluted them with a fist to his chest, "Hail, Caesar!" He then kneeled before them.
"Hi," the Doctor greeted him.
"Welcome to Britain. We are honoured by your presence," the soldier told him.
"Well, you're only human. Arise... Roman person," the Doctor said.
"Why does he think you're Caesar?" Amy asked.
"We have no idea, Amy," Rose told her.
"Cleopatra and Mark Antony will see you now," the Soldier said as he stood up as they saw smudges of lipstick on his face as they began to follow the Soldier.
The Doctor and Rose both walked into a tent and the first thing they saw was River, dressed as Cleopatra with Jack dressed as Mark Antony with a teenaged blonde haired woman behind them in a Roman soldier's uniform with River being waited on by two servants.
"Hello, Doctor," River greeted the Time Lord.
"Hello, Rosie," Jack greeted the Time Lady.
"Jack! River! Hi," Amy greeted both Jack and River.
"You graffitied the oldest cliff-face in the universe, River," the Doctor told River.
"You wouldn't answer your phone, Doctor," River explained to the Doctor.
"And you wouldn't answer your cell phone either, Rose," Jack added, "But we have two things to show the both of you."
"Okay, so what are they?" Rose asked him.
"One of them is the soldier behind us," River said, "Come show yourself, sweetie." The Soldier walked towards them and removed their helmet, revealing themself to be Jenny, the Doctor's and Rose's daughter from Messaline.
"Jenny?" Both the Doctor and Rose said with shock, believing that General Cobb killed her all those years ago when they went to Messaline with Martha and Donna.
"Hello, Mum and Dad," Jenny greeted them with a smile on her face.
"We…" the Doctor stuttered with disbelief.
"We thought General Cobb killed you, Sweetheart," Rose said, finishing her husband's train of thought.
"So did I, Mum," Jenny said, agreeing with her mother, "But the source must have brought me back to life. Cline told me that you both left Messaline and I travelled the stars to find the two of you and eventually I ran into your friend, Jack here."
"Thanks, Jack for finding her," Rose told her friend, who considered a brother to her.
"No problem, Rosie," Jack told her as they hugged each other.
"Doctor, Rose, want to introduce me?" Amy asked both Gallifreyans.
"Yes, we should," Rose said as she went to introduce Jenny to Amy and vice versa, "Amy, this is Jenny Lillian Smith, our daughter. Jenny, this is our newest travelling companion, Amelia 'Amy' Pond."
"But you both told me that your family died on Gallifrey during the Time War," Amy reminded them with confusion.
"It's a long story, Amy, but to simply put it she was created from a cell from both of us and was born as an adult and is a generated anomaly which is where our previous companion, Donna got her name from," Rose explained.
"The other thing we want to show you is this," River said as she clapped her hands and the servants left as she then held out a scrolled canvas.
"What's this?" The Doctor asked her.
"It's a painting. Your friend Vincent," River answered as he snatched the painting and began to unroll it and saw that it was of the Tardis exploding as River stood up, "One of his final works. He had visions, didn't he? I thought you both ought to know about this one."
"Doctor? Rose? Doctor, Rose, what is this?" Amy asked both Gallifreyans as she saw the painting, "Why's it exploding?"
"I assume it's some kind of warning," River answered.
"It's definitely a warning, River," Rose told her before turning to Jenny, "What do you think, sweetheart?"
"Yeah, I agree, Mum," Jenny told her.
"Me too," Jack said, agreeing with them as the Doctor sat down, his thoughts heavy.
"Something's going to happen to the Tardis?" Amy asked them.
"It might not be that literal," River told them, "Anyway this is where he wanted you. Date and map reference on the door sign, see?"
"Does it have a title?" The Doctor asked her.
"The Pandorica Opens," River answered.
"The Pandorica? What is it?" Amy asked, remembering that she mentioned it the last time she, Rose and the Doctor met her.
"A box. A cage. A prison. It was built to contain the two most feared things in all the universe," River answered.
"And it's a fairy tale, a legend. It can't be real," the Doctor said, pacing around the tent.
"Says the person that is considered a legend in some cultures throughout the universe," Jack muttered.
"If it is real, it's here and it's opening. And it's got something to do with your Tardis exploding," River told both Gallifreyans as the Doctor pulled out local maps, "Hidden, obviously. Buried for centuries. You won't find it on a map."
"No. But if you buried the most dangerous things in the universe, you'd want to remember where you put it," the Doctor told them.
The Doctor, Rose, River, Jenny, Jack and Amy soon got on six separate horses and began riding horseback across the field as River had changed into something a little more 'modern' as she was now wearing a white Jacket, while Jack was now wearing his World War II coat and uniform while Jenny was now out of her Roman soldier uniform in place of her outfit from Messaline with a jacket similar to her mother's on.
"Come on. YA!" The Doctor said as he pulled his horse's saddle and soon they arrived at Salisbury Plain as they reached Stonehenge and as soon as they reached the famous landmark, Rose took out her screwdriver as they got off their horses as they approached the stones of Stonehenge and she used it on some of the stones lying on the ground as River took out a scanner and typed some information on it.
"How come it's not new?" Amy asked.
"Because it's already old. Been here thousands of years. No-one knows exactly how long," River answered as she looked up at the sky.
"Yeah, there are rumors that it was created for sacrifice or that it was created by glaciers during the last ice age," Rose added.
"OK, this Pandorica thing. Last time we saw you, you warned us about it, after we climbed out of the Byzantium," Amy told River.
"Spoilers!" River said as she put a finger to her lips.
"No, but you told the Doctor and Rose that you'd see them again when the Pandorica opens," Amy told her.
"Amy, River hasn't gone through that yet," Jack whispered in Amy's ear.
"Maybe I did. But I haven't yet. But I will have," River said at the same time, "Doctor, Rose, I'm picking up fry particles everywhere. Energy weapons discharged on this site."
"If the Pandorica is here, it contains the mightiest warriors in history," the Doctor said as he stood on a large stone, "Now, half the galaxy would want a piece of them. Maybe even fight over them," he then jumped off the stone and put an ear to it, "We need to get down there."
Later, that night, River placed a device on the corner of the large stone after the Doctor, Rose, Amy, Jack and Jenny placed lights around the area.
"Right then. Ready," River said as he walked up to the Doctor and Rose before she pressed a button on her scanner and the rock slid to the side revealing stone steps underneath. The Doctor steps forward as River and Jack took a torch from both of their pockets and switched them on.
"The underhenge," the Doctor said as he and Rose took their screwdrivers out and used them as torches as they entered, while unbeknownst to them, a head of a cyberman hid behind one of the rocks as it crackled electricity as it jerked.
The Doctor stepped out of a narrow passage and used the screwdriver to light a torch as they entered the underhenge as Rose did the same to a torch on the opposite side of the room as the Doctor lifted his torch up while Rose did the same with hers went to the opposite wall and brought a torch over to light it as the Doctor lifted up a large board that was acting as a lock across a huge set of doors and with a nod and a smile, both Time Lords, pushed open the doors and find themselves in a cavernous room. In the center stands a large box with an intricate circular pattern on each side.
"It's the Pandorica," the Doctor muttered.
"So it is real," Rose muttered at the same time.
"You didn't believe that it existed, Rosie?" Jack teased.
"We Gallifreyans don't take legends seriously, Jack," Rose explained.
"More than just a fairy tale," River and Jenny added at the same time.
The Doctor then walked forward and stepped on something, He looked down to see the arm of a Cyberman. He continued towards the Pandorica and placed a hand on it, "There were two goblins, or tricksters, or warriors. Two nameless, terrible things, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The two most feared beings in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop them, or hold them, or reason with them. One day they would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world."
"How did it end up in there?" Amy asked them.
"You know fairy tales. Two good wizards tricked it," the Doctor answered as he walked around to the other side of the Pandorica as River took out her scanner.
"I hate good wizards in fairy tales. They always turn out to be one of this pair," River muttered.
"Oh, you wish it was me, sweetie?" Jack said as he flirted with River.
"Maybe I do, my immortal man," River said as she flirted back at him.
"Flirting at a time like this could cause trouble for us," Rose told them.
"So it's kind of like Pandora's Box, then? Almost the same name," Amy told the Doctor.
"Sorry, what?" The Doctor asked.
"The story. Pandora's Box, with all the worst things in the world in it," Amy explained.
"It's a greek fairytale," Rose added, "Where all emotional curses would be released if it was opened in Greek mythology."
"Mum's right, Dad," Jenny said, agreeing with them, "Throughout my travels, "I learned about it."
The Doctor then puts his torch in a holder then used his screwdriver on the Pandorica.
"That was my favourite book when I was a kid," Amy added, causing the Doctor to stop as he walked over to her with a concerned look on his face, "What's wrong?"
"Your favourite school topic, your favourite story. Never ignore a coincidence, unless you're busy. In which case, always ignore a coincidence," he explained before walking back to Pandorica.
"So can you both open it?" River asked them.
"Easily. Anyone can break into a prison, but me and Rose both rather know what we're going to find first," the Doctor told her.
"It's already opening," River told him as she looked at her scanner, "There are layers and layers of security protocols in there, and they're being disabled, one by one. Like it's being unlocked from the inside."
"How long do we have?" Rose asked.
"Hours at the most," River answered the Time Lady.
"What kind of security?" The Doctor asked.
"Everything. Deadlocks, time-stops, matter-lines," River answered.
"What could need all that?" Jack asked her.
"What could get past all that?" River countered.
"Think of the fear that went into making this box," the Doctor told them.
Amy then heard a rustling sound and turns quickly and saw that nothing was there.
"What's wrong, Amy?" Jenny asked the ginger companion of her parents.
"Nothing," Amy said, shrugging whatever she heard off.
"What could inspire that level of fear?" The Doctor asked as he placed his ear on the Pandorica, "Hello, you. Have you, me and Rose met?"
"So why would it start to open now?" Jack asked.
"No idea," the Doctor answered.
"I don't know either," Rose said, agreeing with her husband.
"Hmm, and how could Vincent have known about it?" Amy asked, "He won't even be born for centuries."
The Doctor took out his sonic screwdriver once again and used it on the stone pillars, "The stones! These stones are great big transmitters, broadcasting a warning to everyone, everywhere, to every time zone. The Pandorica is opening!"
"Doctor...everyone, everywhere?" River asked.
"Even poor Vincent heard it in his dreams," the Doctor added, "What's in there, what could justify all this?"
"Are you thinking, what I think you're thinking?" Jack asked the Doctor.
"What is he thinking?" Jenny asked Jack.
"Doctor, everyone?" River asked.
"Anything that powerful, we'd know about it. Why don't me and Rose know?" The Doctor asked.
"Dad, you said everyone could hear it," Jenny reminded her father, "So who else is coming?"
"Oh," the Doctor said as he and Rose realized what else was coming.
"Oh? Oh, what?" Amy asked them.
"OK, if it is basically a transmitter, we should be able to fold back the signal," River said as she pressed her scanner against one of the pillars.
"Doing it," Rose said as she used her sonic screwdriver on all of the pillars.
"Doing what?" Amy asked them.
"Stonehenge is transmitting, it's been transmitting for a while...so who heard?" River explained.
"OK, should be feeding back to you now," Rose told her, "River, what's out there? Getting anything?"
"Give me a moment," River said as she clicked on her scanner.
"River, quickly, anything?" the Doctor urged her.
"Around this planet, there are at least 10,000 starships," River said, stunned as she looked at her scanner.
"At least?" Amy and Jenny asked at the same time.
"10,000, 100,000, 1 million, I don't know. There's too many readings," River explained.
"What kind of starships?" Jack asked her.
"Maintaining orbit," they heard a Dalek say.
"I obey. Shield cover compromised on ion sectors," another Dalek said on the scanner
"Daleks. Those are Daleks," Amy said, recognizing the voice of the Daleks from her time with both Gallifreyans brought her to World War II where she met Churchill.
"Scan detects no temporal activity," the first Dalek replied on the scanner.
"Soft grid scan commencing," the second Dalek said.
"Reverse thrust for compensatory stabilisation," the first Dalek told the second one.
"Daleks, Doctor and Rose," River told the Doctor.
"Launch preliminary armaments protocol," the second Dalek added.
"Yes, OK. OK, OK, OK. Dalek fleet. Minimum, 12,000 battleships, armed to the teeth," the Doctor told them, "But we've got surprise on our side! They'll never expect six people with one of them being immortal to attack 12,000 Dalek battleships, 'cause we'd be killed instantly with one of them coming back to life after being killed. So it would be a fairly short surprise. Forget surprise."
"Doctor, Rose, Cyber-ships," River added.
"No, Dalek ships, listen to them, those are Dalek ships," the Doctor told her.
"Doctor, I think River is saying that there's also Cyber-ships in orbit as well," Rose told her husband.
"Rose is right, Doctor, there are Dalek ships and Cyber-ships," River said, agreeing with the Time Lady.
"Well, we need to start a fight, turn them on each other," the Doctor said, remembering when Daleks and Cybermen fought each other at Canary Wharf, "It's the Daleks... they're so cross…"
"Sontaran," River added, "Four battle-fleets."
"You mean those Potato-looking warrior race?" Jenny asked her.
"Sontarans! Talk about cross, who stole all their handbags?" The Doctor asked, sarcastically.
"Terileptil. Slitheen. Chelonian. Nestene. Drahvin. Sycorax. Haemo-goth. Zygon. Atraxi. Draconian. Ice Warrior. They're all here. For the Pandorica," River said, reading from her scanner.
"What are you? What could you possibly be?" The Doctor asked the Pandorica as he turned to look at it.
The ground then began to shake as the Doctor and Rose ran to the stairs, with River, Jack, Jenny and Amy following.
They all looked up at the sky and saw lights from a number of ships flying above them.
"What do we do?" Amy asked.
"Doctor, Rose listen to me! Everything that ever hated you both are coming here tonight. You both can't win this. You both can't even fight it. Doctor, Rose this once, just this one time, please, you both have to run," River told both Time Lords.
"Run where?" The Doctor asked.
"Fight how?" Rivered countered.
"She's right, Rosie, you and your husband need to run," Jack said, agreeing with River as the Doctor took out a pair of binoculars and looked back the way they came.
"The greatest military machine in the history of the universe," the Doctor answered.
"What is? The Daleks?" Amy asked him.
"No, Amy. He means the Romans," Rose answered.
"Jack, can I speak with you for a moment?" The Doctor asked Jack.
"Sure, Doc," Jack answered as they walked towards a corner.
"I need you, River and Jenny to go back to the Roman encampment," the Doctor told him.
"What for?" The ex-Time Agent asked him.
"Me and Rose need the three of you to recruit a legion of Romans to help us," he explained, "I also need to borrow your Vortex Manipulator."
"Why do you need my Vortex Manipulator?" Jack asked him.
"Whatever's happening in that painting might happen here and if it does, I'll need to borrow your Vortex Manipulator," the Doctor explained, "So can you give it to me?"
"Okay, Doc," Jack said as he unhooked his Vortex Manipulator's strap and handed it to him, "You better take good care of it."
"Don't worry, Jack, I'll try my best," he reassured him.
Jack, River, and Jenny then rode their horses back to the Roman encampment and as they approached the tent, their way into the tent was blocked by two guards.
Jack, River and Jenny were soon being guarded by two soldiers as the commander, a man of around 56 years old with strawberry-blondish hair color paced around the trio, "So, I return to my command after one week and discover we've been playing host to Cleopatra and her lover, Mark Antony. Who're both in Egypt. And dead!"
"Yes. Funny how things work out," Jenny snapped as the ground shook again as a ship flew overhead.
"The sky is falling, and you make jokes. Who are you three?" The Commander asked them.
"When you fight Barbarians, what must they think of you?" Jack asked him.
"Oh, riddles now?" The Commander asked him.
"Where do they think you come from?" River asked him.
"A place more deadly and more powerful and more impatient than their tiny minds can imagine," he answered as he drew a sword out and aimed it at them. River then pulled out a disintegrator gun and used it on a cabinet, causing the commander and guards to look at them with shock.
"Where do we come from? Your world has visitors," Jack told him, "You're all Barbarians now."
"What is that? Tell me, what?" The commander demanded.
"A fool would say, the work of the gods. But you've been a soldier too long to believe there are gods watching over us," River explained, "There is, however, a man and his wife. And tonight they're going to need your help."
"Sir?" A soldier from a corner of the tent said.
"One moment," the commander told the three time travellers as he went over to the entrance to the tent where he held a whispered conversation with the Soldier whose face was in shadow. They then turned to look at Jack, River and Jenny as the commander reapproached her, "Well, it seems you have a volunteer."
Amy lit more torches as the Doctor and Rose examined the Pandorica, "So what's this got to do with the Tardis?" She asked both Gallifreyans.
"Nothing, as far as I know," the Doctor answered.
"But Vincent's painting... the Tardis was exploding, is that going to happen?" Amy asked them.
"Possibly," Rose answered.
"One problem at a time. There's forcefield technology inside this box," the Doctor told Amy as he used his sonic screwdriver on River's scanner, "If I can enhance the signal, we could extend it all over Stonehenge. Could buy us half an hour."
"What good is half an hour?" Amy asked him.
"There are fruit flies live on Hoppledom 6 that live for 20 minutes and they don't even mate for life," the Doctor said, causing Rose and Amy to stop what they were doing and gave him a look as they looked at him, "There was going to be a point to that. I'll get back to you."
"I'm gonna see what's taking Jack, River and Jenny so long," Rose said as she went outside.
"So... why was there an engagement ring in your pocket?" Amy said as she pulled out her engagement ring.
"I'm sorry?" The Doctor said, not sure what she was talking about.
"I found this in your pocket," she told him
"No. No, no, that's, uh...a memory. A friend of mine and Rose's, someone we lost," he said as he looked up and saw the engagement ring and reached for the box but Amy pulled away, "Do you mind?"
"It's weird, I feel... I don't know. Something," Amy said as she looked at the box containing her engagement ring.
"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces," the Doctor explained, "Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs, luggage, half eaten meals... rings... Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back."
"So, you're a dad and Rose is a mum again, how are you and her doing?" Amy asked as she snapped the box closed and gave it back to him as he put the ring back in his pocket and headed back to the Pandorica to work on it. He then stopped and looked at Amy.
"Remember that night you flew away with me and Rose?" He asked her.
"Of course I do," Amy answered.
"And you asked us why we were taking you and we told you there wasn't a reason. We were lying," he told her.
"What, so you both did have a reason?" Amy asked him.
"Your house," they heard Rose's voice say from the entrance to the underhenge before she walked back towards them.
"My house," Amy scoffed.
"It was too big, too many empty rooms," the Doctor explained, "Does it ever bother you, Amy, that your life doesn't make any sense?"
At that moment, a laser fired at them. It was from the now activated Cyberman arm and Amy screamed as Rose pulled her to hide at one side of the Pandorica while the Doctor went to hide on the other side.
"OK, What was that?" Amy asked them.
"Need a proper look," he told them, "Got to draw its fire, give it a target."
"How?" Amy asked him.
"You know how sometimes I have really brilliant ideas?" He asked them.
"Yes…" Amy and Rose answered at the same time.
"Sorry!" He apologized as he ran out and stood in the open with his arms spread high, "Look at me, I'm a target!"
The laser fired again as the Doctor ducked behind a pillar.
"What is that?" Amy asked the Time Lord.
"Cyber-arm. Arm of a Cyberman," he answered.
"And what's a Cyberman?" She asked him.
"Oh, sort of part man, part robot," he answered, "The organic part must have died off years ago, now the robot part is looking for fresh meat."
"What, us?" Amy asked.
"Actually just you, Amy," Rose answered, "We Gallifreyans are incompatible for conversion into a Cyberman."
"It's just like being an organ donor, except you're alive and sort of screaming," he added, "I need to get round behind it, could one of you draw its fire?"
"Like you did?" Amy asked them.
"You'll be fine if you're quick, it's only got one arm. Literally," he told her, smiling as he gave her two thumbs up and Amy nervously returned the gesture before running, screaming, in the opposite direction. The cyberarm fired at her as the Doctor came up behind it, dove, and grabbed it as Rose got out from behind the Pandorica and took her sonic screwdriver back out as she used it on the cyberarm.
"Doctor? Rose?" Amy said as she began to go out from hiding.
"Scrambled its circuits, but stay where you are. It could be bluffing," the Doctor told her.
"Bluffing?" Amy repeated with confusion, "It's an arm!"
"I said stay where you are!" The Doctor repeated himself as he stood back up.
Angry, Amy stepped back and crossed her arms before looking down as a wire wrapped itself around one of her legs, "Doctor? Rose?" She then fell to the ground.
"Amy!" Both Gallifreyans yelled with worry as the cyber-arm released a large dose of energy causing the Doctor to collapse to the ground unconscious before sneaking up behind Rose and released another large dose of energy, causing her to collapse to the ground, unconscious as well.
"Doctor! Rose!" cried as the Cyberman head was using its wires to pull itself closer to Amy, binding her wrists. As she fought it, she lifted it and stared at it. As she does so, a seam opens down the center. Inside was the skull of the former occupant of the Cyber-suit. Amy screamed as the skull fell out and the head began snapping open and closed in an attempt to get to Amy. She banged it against one of the stone pillars before throwing it to the ground. It begins to scuttle away, "Doctor!"
The head then shot a small dart to her neck, "You will be assimilated."
"Yeah? You and whose body?" She asked the Cyber-head.
She then heard the sound of heavy footsteps and looked away from the head and saw the body of a Cyberman approaching and saw that It was missing its head and left arm. It then picked up the head and replaces it before coming after Amy. She then tried to defend herself with a torch but the drug in her system was beginning to take effect and she fell through a double set of doors that shut behind her.
"Doctor! Rose!" Amy cried as the Cyberman began pounding on the door to get to her and then there was silence as she placed her ear to the door, "Doctor?"
A sword was then thrusted into the door just before it swung open to show the Cyberman pinned and sparking and saw a Roman soldier standing there. Amy was unable to make him out clearly due to the drug.
"Who...? Who are you...?" She asked the soldier
"Hello, Amy," the Soldier greeted her as he removed his helmet to reveal that he was Rory, she then fainted and he caught her before she fell to the ground, "Whoa, whoa!" He then carried her to a stone table and set her down and caressed her hair just as another soldier entered the small room.
"Sir, the man's coming round. The woman is still out," one of the soldiers told Rory.
"Amy?! Where's Amy?" The Doctor said as he rushed into the room.
"She's fine, Doctor, just unconscious," Rory told him.
"OK…" the Doctor said as he rushed over to Amy and scanned her with his screwdriver, "Yes, she's sedated, that's all. Half an hour, she'll be fine. OK, Romans, good, I was just wishing for Romans, good old Jack, River and Jenny. How many?"
"50 men up top, volunteers," Rory answered before pointing at the Cyberman, "What about that thing?"
"50? Not exactly a legion," the Doctor told him as he nodded to the other soldier, who left as Rose regained consciousness and entered the room, "Rose, you're finally awake."
"Your friends were very persuasive, but it's a tough sell," Rory told them
"Yes, I know that, Rory, I'm not exactly one to miss the obvious and one of them is our daughter," the Doctor told him, "But we need everything we can get." he then pulled out two large guns from a chest, "OK, Cyber-weapons. This is basically a sentry box. So, headless wonder here was a sentry. Probably got himself duffed up by the locals. Never underestimate a Celt."
"Doctor…" Rory said.
"Hush, Rory," he began to ramble, "Why leave a Cyberman on guard? Unless it's a Cyberthing in the box. But why would they lock up one of their own? OK, no, not a Cyberthing, but what, what? No, I'm missing something obvious, Rory!" He then stood face-to-face with him, "Something big, something right slap in front of me, I can feel it!" He then turned to Rose, "Can you feel it as well, Rose?"
"Yeah I can," she answered.
"Yeah, I think you both probably are," Rory told them.
"I'll get it in a minute," the Doctor said as he strode out of the room with the guns leaving Rose and Rory just standing there. There was a loud clatter as the Doctor put down the weapons and slowly re-enters the room and walked up to Rory and stared at him before poking Rory in the chest as Rory swayed back a bit before swaying forward, "Hello again."
"Hello," Rory greeted them.
"Nice to see you again, Rory," Rose said, greeting him as well and was just as confused as the Doctor was.
"How've you been?" The Doctor asked Rory.
"Good. Yeah, good. I mean, Roman," Rory answered.
"Rory, I'm not trying to be rude, but you died," the Doctor told him.
"Doctor, that was rude," Rose told him.
"Yeah, I know, I was there," Rory reminded him.
"You died and then you were erased from time. You didn't just die, you were never born at all, you never existed," the Doctor explained.
Erased? What does...that mean?" Rory asked him.
"How can you be here?" Rose asked him.
"I don't know. It's kind of fuzzy," Rory answered.
"Fuzzy?" Both Gallifreyans asked at the same time.
"Well, I died and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting!" Rory explained before he ran a hand across Amy's cheek, "Did she miss me?"
The Doctor nor Rose answered when suddenly there was a loud whooshing and rumbling as the Doctor, Rose and Rory ran out of the smaller room into the main cavern. The symbols on the Pandorica were now glowing green as the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on it as the other Roman soldiers watched.
"What is it? What's happening?" Rory asked them.
"The final phase. It's opening," the Doctor answered as he placed a hand on the turning gears.
Please review.
And How are you guys liking Jack and Jenny's inclusion in this episode so far?
