Last part for this and the onto the epilogue of the arc. Then onto more interesting things.
I own nothing.
Day of The Doctor (3)
Back in the present, the Zygon's were looking through the collection of the Black Archives. Two of them remained in their human forms as Osgood and a scientist named McGillop while the third remained in its original form.
"The equipment here is phenomenal. The humans don't realize what half this stuff does… we could conquer their world in a day." Zygon-McGillop said.
"We were fortunate, then… in our choices of duplicate." The Zygon leader agreed.
"If I were a human, I'd say it was Christmas." Zygon-McGillop said in slight joy.
"No. I'm afraid you wouldn't. We're not armed. You may relax." Kate said as she, Osgood and McGillop walked in, after Osgood freed them.
"We are armed. You may not." The lead Zygon threatened.
Kate looked at McGillop and said," Lock the door. I'm afraid we can't be interrupted. You don't mind if I get comfortable?" Kate said and sat down on a metal chair with a table.
"You don't mind if I do?" The lead Zygon said and morphed into Kate as it walked to the table and sat down.
All 6 beings, human and Zygon stood or sat in the same with the table acting like a mirror. Both Kate's were sitting down while both Osgood's and McGillop's stood behind them side by side.
"You'll realize there are protocols protecting this place. Osgood…" Kate said.
In her mind, Osgood knew what the protocol was and what would happen if it was activated, she wasn't thrilled nor onboard with the idea because it would have very disastrous consequences but she didn't have a say on the matter.
"In the event of an alien incursion, the contents of this room are deemed so dangerous, it will self destruct in…"
"Five minutes." Kate finished.
After she said, Kate started the countdown and an alarm went off.
"There's a Nuclear Warhead 20 feet beneath us. Are you sitting comfortably?"
"You would destroy London?" Zygon-Kate said in slight disbelieving tone.
"To save the world? Yes, I would." Kate said stoically.
But on the inside, she was scared, but she was in charge after her father died, and she had to make the tough decisions. Even if those that would involve destroying the city.
"You're bluffing." Zygon-Kate said.
"You really think so? Somewhere in your memory is a man called Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. I'm his daughter."
" 'Science lead', Kate. Is that what you mean? Is that, what your father meant?" The 11th Doctor's voice said from somewhere.
"Doctor?" Kate said and looked around and found a device that was on besides the countdown.
"Space-Time Telegraph, Kate. A gift from dad to your father, hotlines straight to the TARDIS." Jenny's voice said.
With the Doctor's, Jenny's and companions, they were in 10's TARDIS in the Vortex. The 11th Doctor had just tapped in through the console and everyone had listened to what Kate had said and thought she was doing the wrong thing.
"Jenny and I know about the Black Archive and we know about the security protocol." The Doctor said.
"Basically Kate, please, please, don't do it! It's unbelievably stupid! There's always different ways to stop this!" Jenny pleaded.
"I'm sorry, you two. Switch it off." Kate's voice said.
"Not as sorry as you will be. This kind of decision is something you won't be able to live with." 9 said, knowing what that kind of decision will do to someone.
The TARDIS then rocks and shudders.
"Keep her stabilized!" Jenny said.
"There's something going on! We can't land!" 10 said.
"Kate! We're trying to bring the TARDIS in… why can't we land?" 11 said.
"I said switch it off!" Kate said and the connection was lost.
"What's going on?" Ahsoka said.
"The Tower of London is TARDIS proof. Idiots." Jenny muttered.
"And how did they manage to do that?" Rose asked.
"Alien technology plus human stupidity. Trust me, it's unbeatable." 11 said.
"Why can't we use Jenny's Vortex Manipulator?" Clara suggested.
Jenny groaned and looked at something on the console screen with her glasses on," Still won't work, Clara. Besides, even if we park next to the Tower, we still won't be able to get in from the outside."
10 looked at her, smiled and said," Oh I see you've taken after your old man."
Jenny blushed and said," Just recently."
Donna rolled her eyes and said," Compliment each other later. What about those saber things you and… who are you again?"
"Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano and no, it will take too long." Ahsoka said.
"I still can't fathom why you let our daughter have a weapon?" 10 said to 11.
"Believe me I wasn't thrilled, but she does own a couple of weapons that are on my TARDIS, so I lost that argument. And she promised not to harm anyone with them. Well, not seriously harm, but not the point." 11 said.
"I don't think that's helpful. And we don't need to land." War said.
9 gave him a scrutinizing look and said," How daft are you? Of course we need to land."
"I'm you, so we're both daft." War scoffed.
Ahsoka thought about what War had said and then looked at the stasis cube that 11 had got. She grinned with the idea that he had, got it and tossed it to 11.
"Actually, would that suffice?"
All three Doctor's and Jenny smiled at each other and then got to work. Jenny went over to Ahsoka and gave her a hug.
"Soka, you are brilliant!"
A few minutes later, everyone found themselves in the painting in Gallifrey Falls. Earlier, 11 had phoned in McGillop and told him to move Gallifrey Falls to the Black Archives so they can get in and it worked. Jenny and Ahsoka activated their sabers and destroyed a couple of Daleks when they go to close. All four Doctor's aimed their Sonics at one Dalek that was approaching them.
"EXTERMINATE!" It yelled.
They fired, with an added boost from a Force Push by Jenny and Ahsoka. The Dalek screamed and rolled backwards through the glass and exploded. Everyone either ran or walked in stride and soon arrived into the Black Archive.
Ahsoka felt the Force slip away again and clenched her teeth in annoyance.
This was getting old.
"Hello." War said.
"I'm Doctor, this is our daughter Jenny." 10 said.
"Pleasure, also sorry about the Dalek." Jenny said.
"But you know us." 9 said with a causal shrug.
"Not to mention all the showing off." Donna said.
"You got that right." Clara said.
11 walked over to one of the Kate's and said with a scowl," Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, what in the name of sanity are you doing?"
"The countdown can only be halted at my personal command. There's nothing you can do." The real Kate said.
"Nothing we can do? That's the wrong answer." Ahsoka said with crossed arms.
She had dealt with a lot of people like this before and she knew that either her or The Doctor's had to get Kate to listen to reason.
10 walked over and said," She's right. We can make you both agree to halt it."
"Not even for four of you." The real Kate disagreed.
"You're about to murder millions of people." War said.
"To save billions. How many times have you made that calculation?"
Jenny placed a hand on The Doctor shoulder and he silently thanked her.
11 had a faraway look and said," Once. Turned me into the man I am now. I'm not even sure who that is any more."
Both 10 and 9 walked over to the head of the table, both had the same look as 11, with 10 saying," You tell yourself it's justified, buts a lie."
"Because I or we did that day was wrong. Absolutely wrong." 9 said.
"And because of that. I'm going to make you… get it right." 11 said.
11 and 10 got chairs, sat down and propped their feet on the table and arms crossed in unisom.
While War, 9 and Jenny, stood to the side with War's arms behind his back, 9 with his arms crossed, and Jenny with a hand in her pocket.
"How?" Kate asked.
"Any second now, you're going to stop that countdown. Both of you. Together." 10 said.
"Then you're goin to negotiate the most perfect treaty of all time." 11 said.
"A really fantastic one at best." 9 said with a firm look.
"All fair and with safeguards for it as well." Jenny said.
11 nodded and then said, "And the key to perfect negotiations…"
"No one in this room will be able to remember if they're human." 10 said.
"Or Zygon." 9 said.
"Sorry!" Jenny said with smirk.
11 and 10 leaped up and took out their Sonics. Jenny, 9 and War did the same and they all used their Sonics on the memory filter and it breaks. The clock was down to mere seconds and both Kate's looked at each and gave in.
"Cancel the detonation!" They ordered in unisom.
The clock stopped and it was down to 5 seconds.
"Peace of our time." 11 said.
"All in a good days work. Just a normal day." 9 said with smirk.
Later, both Kate's and McGillops were negotiating with all three Doctor were watching them. Ahsoka looked at the group and smiled a little at how a crisis was diverted and peace was being talked about. She wished Obi-Wan would've been there with them because he wasn't called 'The Negotiator' for nothing and he could've helped with it all.
She walked over to the other side of the room and found herself looking at a board with people that the Doctor had traveled with. She didn't know everyone who had traveled with him but it got her thinking. Just how long will she be traveling with him?
She had the same lifespan as a normal human. She didn't know what would happen but it was the part of life. A never ending cycle and it was natural. But she shook her head in amusement that most of the people on there were women.
"Makes you wonder, huh?" A voice said.
Ahsoka turned around to find Donna and Rose were behind her and then walked over to the board.
"What about?"
"Just how long we can travel with him. I know we don't have forever but at the time I started traveling with him, it didn't matter. I was doing things people dreamed of." Donna said with a fond smile.
"Yeah, went to the end of the world and went to the past. Did some other things and then now we're here. I s'pose being with The Doctor does that to you." Rose said.
"Yeah, so how did you guys come across him?" Ahsoka asked.
"Blew up my job after saving me from Auton's. Started traveling with him after we got rid of the leader." Rose said.
"I was getting married to some bloke who was being used by some alien spider queen. I had some things in my stystem and it teleported me into the TARDIS." Donna said.
"Crashed on the roof of my apartment building. It's a long story after that." Ahsoka said with a chuckle at that memory.
"Oi you lot! We need to go! Granddad is gone and I think we may know where's he's going!" 10 yelled from the other side of the room.
They all looked at each other and ran with The Doctor's to the TARDIS's. Jenny was the first to get into 11's TARDIS with The 11th Doctor, Clara and Ahsoka behind her. A minute ago, 10 and Donna had gone into 10's while Jenny had used Jack's old Vortex Manipulator to send 9 and Rose back to their TARDIS.
"Ah, Master Jenny, good to see you. Is the crisis diverted?" T. J greeted.
"Not now T2. We need to get to the end of the Time War." Jenny said as she and her dad typed furiously on the console.
"But you said the Time War is Time Locked. No one can get in." Clara said, confused.
"Well with today's events, I only assume what we are about to do will be possible. Blimey, we are breaking a lot of rules right now." The Doctor said.
Jenny smirked and said," Since when has that stopped us?"
The Doctor despite the situation gave her a fond smile and said, "Never."
"Alright. Let's see if this works." The Doctor continued and pulled the switch.
The War Doctor was back in the barn and stood in front the Moment. It had a large red button on the top of it. The War Doctor stared at it, thinking of his future actions.
"Well, you wanted a big red button. One big bang… no more Time Lords, no more Daleks. Are you sure?" The Interface said.
"I was sure when I came here. There is no other way." War said sadly.
"You've seen the men you will become."
"Those men… extraordinary."
"They were you." The interface said.
"No. They were The Doctor." War denied.
"You're and will always will be The Doctor." The interface argued.
"No. Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame… whatever the cost." War said and placed his hand over the button hesitantly.
"Yes, Yes, I like to think it does." The Interface sadly said.
The sound of a TARDIS materializing was heard and three TARDISes materialized at the far end of the barn. All three Doctor's, Jenny and the companions stepped out and took in their surrounds as they walked over to The War Doctor.
Jenny was thrilled she was on the her and her dad's home planet, even though there was a war going on. But she always dreamt of coming here and meeting her family that her dad talked about.
"I told you… he hasn't done it yet." Clara said.
"Go away, all of you. This is for me." War said and turned his back on them.
"You think that would get rid of us that easily?" Jenny said.
The 10th Doctor looked around nervously, as if something would happen and said," These events should be time locked… we shouldn't even be here."
"But we are. I guess it has something to do with the person Ahsoka told us about." 11 said.
War looked at them again and pleaded," Go back. Go back to your lives. Go and be The Doctor that I could never be. Make it worthwhile. I just don't want her to see what I will do." He said the last part while looking at Jenny.
He hadn't been properly introduced to her yet, but she or his future daughter already proven herself to him. He couldn't be any prouder and he didn't want her to witness what he was about to do.
Jenny gave him a sympathetic look and went over to hug him. War was taken by surprise but hugged her back. It had been a long time since he hugged one of his children, even though he hasn't met her in the right order yet.
"Believe me dad. I know and I won't think any less of you and I won't think you're a monster." She said.
"She's right. All those years, burying you in my memory." 10 said.
"Blocking you and pretending you didn't exist." 9 said.
"Pretending you weren't The Doctor, when you were The Doctor more than anybody else." 11 said.
Jenny let go and looked at him and said," But you don't have to do it alone. You have us."
11 and 10 had horrified faces with 11 saying," Jenny, it's us that have to do this. Not you, you can't have this much blood on your hands."
Jenny looked him in the eyes and said," I am. Dad I've seen you hurt because of this and suffer from the guilt. If you remember what Ahsoka has been teaching me then you know that suffering leads to dark things. I am your daughter and I promised I would be by your side until the end. And if I can, I can ease some of the pain of this decision, I helped you through many things. But you and I both know there's no other way. Let me take some of the blood off of your hands."
Ahsoka would've stopped her but she knew Jenny had already made up her mind and would firmly accept the burden. In some way it was honorable but she knew and knew that Jenny knew about the entire weight of it all will be tremendous and a burden on her subconscious. She nodded at Jenny, letting her know she supported her. But she still it wasn't the right decision.
Jenny breathed and placed her hand on the button. All four Doctor's had surprised looks, coming to terms with what she said. Against their better judgment they didn't try to dissuade her and then they all placed their hands on top of hers. 11 gave her a one handed hug and kissed her head and she laid her head on his shoulder.
The others could only look on in silence, not wanting to believe what was going to happen. Ahsoka knew, even with what Jenny had said, this was wrong and there had to be another way.
11 looked over at them and saw Ahsoka who looked like she had something to say.
"What? What is it, what?" 11 asked.
"This isn't right. All of you know it. I just can't picture any of you wiping out your own people. For the short time that I have known you, Doctor, you have been selfless and helped others and used violence as a last resort. You must see that this isn't the answer."
The barn suddenly darkens and everyone finds themselves in Arcadia, like they are right in the middle of it.
"What's happening?" Rose asked.
"Nothing… it's a projection." War said.
"These are the people you're going to burn?" Clara asked as they watched the people.
"There nothing we can do." 9 said dejectedly.
"He's right. There isn't another way, there never was. Either I destroy my own people or let the universe burn." 11 said with the same tone.
"Look at you… the four of you. The warrior." Clara said.
"The survivor." Rose said.
"The hero." Donna said.
"And you." Ahsoka said.
"And what am I?" 11 asked he walked to them.
"There right dad. What you are doesn't matter." Jenny said in realization.
"Then what do I do?"
"What you've always done. Be a doctor! You told me the name you chose was a promise. What was the promise?" Clara asked.
"Never cruel or cowardly." 10 muttered.
"Never give up…" War said.
"Never give in." 9 said.
Jenny looked at all four of them with renewed energy and she knew that she and they couldn't give up so easily. She had her final thoughts and so did her present dad, no matter how crazy it was.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I have had 400 years to think and had the help of my brilliant daughter over this matter. I'm changing our personal history. I've changed my mind." 11 said and soniced the Moment to close.
Both 11 and 10 begin to pace.
"There's still billions of Dalek's up there something they don't know." 10 said.
"What is it?" Ahsoka asked.
"This time, there are four of us and one brilliant daughter." 11 said.
"Thanks dad I… Oh My Gosh! That's is so beast and sick!" Jenny said with a huge smile on her face.
"Oh! Oh! Yes, that is good! That is brilliant!" War said with excitement.
"Absolutely fantastic!" 9 said with a maniac grin.
"Oh, oh, oh! I'm getting it too! That is brilliant!" 10 excitedly said and jumped up and slapped his TARDIS.
"Ha! I've been thinking about it for centuries!" 11 said smugly.
"I take it a plan has formed?" Ahsoka said with a smirk.
"Looks like it." Donna said with a fond smile.
"She didn't just show me any old future, she showed me exactly the future I need to see! Bad Wolf Force girl I could kiss you." War said.
"Oooh, sorry not going to happen." The Interface said.
"Wait, did you say, Bad Wolf?" 10 said.
"And something about the Force?" Ahsoka said.
"Don't keep us in suspense. What's the plan?" Rose asked excitedly.
"Basically, the Daleks have surrounded Gallifrey and the Sky Trench is holding. What if we got the whole planet to just, disappear? Once that happens, the Daleks will destroy each other and it will look like Gallifrey was destroyed." Jenny explained.
"Ok… even if that worked. Where would the planet be?" Ahsoka asked.
"Frozen in an instant of time. Safe and hidden away." 10 said.
"Just like the paintings." 9 said.
Jenny soon found herself helping her dad pilot the TARDIS while he contacted the High Command of Gallifrey.
"What's the mad fool talking about now?" A voice said.
"Hello! Hello, Gallifrey High Command. This is The Doctor speaking."
"And his daughter, Jenny or Athena. With also, Clara Oswald and Ahsoka Tano." Jenny said with the two others waving.
"Hello! Also The Doctor, with Donna Noble." 10 said.
"Hi." Donna said with a wave.
"Also The Doctor, with Rose Tyler." 9 said.
"Blimey, real Time Lords." Rose said in awe.
"Also The Doctor, standing ready." War said.
"Dear god, four of them. All my worst nightmares at once." The General breathed.
"General, we have a plan." 10 said.
"We should point out at this moment it is a fairly terrible plan." 11 added.
"And almost certainly won't work." 10 said.
"Come now father, have some faith." Jenny said.
"She's right. But the point is. We have our four TARDISes into your lower atmosphere." 9 said.
"We're positioned at equidistant intervals around the glove. Equidistant, so grown up." 10 said.
"You wish, dad." Jenny teased.
"Don't you start." 10 said with a chuckle.
"We're just about ready to do it." War said as he typed in the final commands.
"Ready to do what?" The General asked.
"They're going to freeze Gallifrey." Ahsoka said.
"I'm sorry, what?" The General said, not believing what he heard.
"Using our TARDISes, we're going to freeze Gallifrey in a single moment of time." 10 said.
"Just like with Stasis Cubes." 9 said.
"A single moment in time held in a parallel pocket universe." War finished.
"Except we're going to do it to a whole planet with all the people in it." Jenny clarified.
The General had an incredulous look and said," What? Even if that were possible, which it isn't, why would you do such a thing?"
"Because for you lot and the rest of the Universe, the alternative is burning." 9 said with a look of guilt and stone eyes.
"And I've seen that." 10 said with the same look.
"And I never want to see it again." 11 finished.
"We'd be lost in another Universe… frozen in a single moment. We'd have nothing."
"Not quite, you will have hope. Even if everything is falling apart, you still have that. And right now, you need it." Ahsoka said.
"It's delusional. The calculations alone would take… hundreds of years." The General said skeptically.
"Oh, hundreds and hundreds." 11 agreed.
"But don't worry… I started a very long time ago!" 10 said.
Above the planet, while the Daleks continued to fire, another TARDIS appears.
"Calling the War Council of Gallifrey, this is The Doctor." The 1st Doctor said.
"You might say my dad has been doing this all his lives!" Jenny said.
More TARDISes appear.
"Good luck!" 2nd Doctor said.
"Stand by." 3rd Doctor said.
"Ready?" 8th Doctor said.
"Commencing calculations." 1st Doctor said.
"Soon be there." 5th Doctor said.
"Across the boundaries that divide one universe from another." 7th Doctor said.
"Just got to lock on to his coordinates." 6th Doctor said.
Ahsoka had a look of awe and said," So these are all you?"
"Yep." 11 said.
Jenny felt a swell of pride and couldn't believe she was seeing all the other incarnations of her dad. But she could've sworn she heard the General or someone else say something about 13 but that was impossible. Maybe it's all because of the excitement of today.
Meanwhile in another Universe.
The 12th Doctor came out of the vortex and into the fray of the plan her predecessors had came up with. By her side was Jenny and Clara, who watched in awe.
"I can't believe we're back here again." Clara said.
The 12th Doctor wiped some of her ginger hair out of her face and said," Believe me Clara, neither can I. But I need to concentrate, the entire planet and the universe depends on us."
"So no pressure then, huh mum?" Jenny said dryly.
"Oh, you know it, Jen." 12 agreed.
"Hello? Hello? Is this The Doctor? How are you here? I don't have any regeneration's left." The familiar voice of the 11th Doctor said.
12 was about to cut off communications when the screen fizzed and then the face of the 11th Doctor came on. As soon as he saw her face, his eyes widened and said in an unbelievable tone.
"Amy?"
Back to the original Universe.
"Sir! The Daleks know that something is happening. They're increasing their fire power!" A Time Lord said.
The General thought for a moment and gave in and said to The Doctor's," Do it, Doctor. Just do it. Do it!"
"You heard him dad or dad's! Let's rock and roll! Allons-y!" Jenny enthusiastically said.
11 chuckled and said," You heard the lady! Geronimo!" He yelled and threw the switch.
"Allons-y!" 10 yelled and threw the switch.
"Here we go. Gallifrey Stands!" 9 yelled and threw the switch.
"Oh, for God's sake! Gallifrey Stands!" War said and threw the switch.
All the other Doctor's did it as well and 12th Doctor did but had someone feeling skeptical.
"Doctor… are you sure this is going to work?" A teenager with Sandy Blonde hair asked.
"Yeah will it?" Another said with brown hair.
"Believe me it will." 12 said with a semi-annoyed tone as he piloted the TARDIS.
"Of course it will. Dad and I were there." A woman with noticeable ginger hair said with smirk.
All the TARDIS circle around the planet at break taking spread until a field forms around the planet and then explodes. Remnants of the Dalek ships scatter after the blast and Gallifrey is no longer there.
If you guessed, the other Universe was from my 'Amy Pond: The 12th Doctor' Universe and will be a future a chapter once I finish up the arc I'm doing right now. Also, can you guess who were those two with 12 and Jenny 3? They are coming into the story soon.
But you have to wait.
Evil laugh.
Till next time.
