Doomsday

I can't describe the level of fear I felt when I saw the Daleks rise out of the Void Ship and float down to the floor. I started having flashbacks to the War. Watching as many of my friends and family were killed. But, I shook my head and cleared the memories. Since the Doctor wasn't there I would have to step up and protect Rose, Mickey and Rajesh. The Daleks moved closer to us calling out, "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Then I called out, "Daleks!" The Daleks fell silent, "That's right… I know what you are…"

The Black Dalek rolled up to me and scanned me, "You are a Time Lady!"

"That's right… I was able to escape the Time War like you…" I took of my lab coat and Rose followed suit, I looked at the large object that came out of the Void Ship with the Daleks "And, I can tell that whatever that is… Daleks didn't make it… which means you need my help to open it and if you want my help opening it, you need to keep these humans alive. Do you understand me?"

The Black Dalek looked at me, "You will be necessary." Then it turned to one of its fellow Daleks. I looked at the large object with the Daleks. It looked some what familiar but I couldn't place it, "Report. What is the status of the Genesis Ark?"

I couldn't believe it. I took a deep breath. I was sure that I was dead the moment the Daleks found out I was a Time Lady. It needed us alive for some reason… "Status- hibernation," said one of the Daleks.

"Commence awakening." said the Black Dalek.

"The Genesis Ark must be protected above all else," said another Dalek.

One of the Daleks turned to the Genesis Ark and clamped its suction arm to a half sphere on a corner of the Ark.

Mickey looked at Rose and I while still pointing his gun at the Daleks, "The Daleks… You said they were all dead."

"Never mind that," I said, "What the hell's a Genesis Ark?"

The Daleks said nothing for several moments then the Black Dalek turned toward us.

"Which of you is least important?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"Which of you is least important?"

"No, we don't work like that," said Rose, "None of us."

"Designate the least important!" said Rajesh

"This is my responsibility." said Rajesh.

"No, you don't," I said.

Rajesh ignored me and stepped forward, "I er, I represent the Torchwood Institute. Anything you need, you… come through me. Leave these three alone."

"You will kneel." said the Black Dalek.

"What for?"

"Kneel." Rajesh keeled. And the Black Dalek continued, "The Daleks need information about current Earth history."

"Yeah, well, I can give you a certain amount of intelligence but nothing that will compromise Homeland security."

"Speech is not necessary. We will extract brainwaves."

As the three Daleks moved toward him and positioned their suction arms around his head,

I turned away not wanting to look knowing what was next. I closed my eyes as I heard Rajesh plead for his life, "Don't… I- I'll tell you everything you need. No. No!"

I turned around when I heard Rajesh's blackened corpse fall to the floor.

"His mind spoke of a second species invading Earth infected by the superstition of ghosts," said the Black Dalek.

"You didn't need to kill him!" I said.

"Neither did we need him alive," said one of the other Daleks

"Dalek Thay… investigate outside," said the Black Dalek.

"I obey," said Dalek They as it moved out of the room. I was floored when I heard the Black Dalek called the Dalek that was leaving Dalek They. As far as I knew, Daleks didn't have names. Once Dalek They was out of the room the Black Dalek said, "Establish visual contact. Lower communications barrier."

Then, a projection appeared in the area where the Void Ship had been. The projection showed the Dalek's point of view, and what it was looking at was two Cybermen.

"Identify yourselves." said Dalek They.

"You will identify first," said one of the Cybermen.

"State your identity."

"You will identify first."

"Identify!"

"It's like Stephen Hawkins meets the Speaking Clock," said Mickey

I turned back to the screen and heard the Cyberman say, "…illogical. You will modify."

"Daleks do not take orders."

"You have identified as Daleks."

"Outline resembles the inferior species known as Cybermen," said the Black Dalek.

Just then I heard my uncle's voice in my head, 'Theodora? Are you and Rose OK?'

'Yes… Rose, Mickey and I are OK… For now…'

'Mickey? Mickey Smith? How his he here?'

'I don't know.'

'You stay safe and keep them safe…'

'You too…'

I broke the link with my uncle and heard one of the Cybermen say, "Our species our similar, though your design is inelegant."

"Daleks have no concept of elegance," said Dalek They

"This is obvious. But consider, our technologies are compatible. Cybermen plus Daleks. Together, we could upgrade the Universe."

"You propose an alliance?"

"This is correct."

"Request denied."

The Cybermen thrust their fists out and readied their blasters. "Hostile elements will be deleted." They shot at Dalek They but their blasts just bounced off the Daleks armor.

"Exterminate!" then Dalek They shot at each of the Cybermen and they both fell down dead.

Then the picture on the screen changed to show a Cyberman, "Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen."

"This is not war. This is pest control.," Said the Black Dalek.

"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"

"Four."

"You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"

"We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek. You are superior in only one respect."

"What is that?"

"You are better at dying. Raise communications barrier!" Just before the screen when to static, The Doctor walked behind the Cyberman on the screen.

"Wait!" said the Dalek, who was guarding the Genesis Ark, "Rewind image by nine rells." The screen rewound, "Identify grid seven gamma frame." it zoomed in on The Doctor, "This male registers as enemy."

The Black Dalek turned toward Rose, "The human female's heartbeat has increased."

"Yeah, tell me about it," said Mickey.

"Identify him."

"All right then…" said Rose, "If you really want to know, that's the Doctor." The Daleks rolled away from her, "Five million Cybermen, easy. One Doctor? Now you're scared."

Dalek They reentered the room, "Cyber threat irrelevant. Concentrate on the Genesis Ark."

The other Daleks took a position around the Genesis Ark and clamped their suction arms to a half sphere on a corner of the Ark.

"Why are we being kept alive?"

"They might need us," I said.

We stood by while the Daleks stood watch over the Genesis Ark. We had our backs to them while Mickey showed us how he was able to get her from the Parallel Universe, "I could transport out of here, but it only carries one and I'm not leaving either of you behind."

"You'd follow me anywhere. What did I do to you all those years ago?"

"Guess I'm just stupid."

I wanted to smack Mickey upside the head for saying that, Rose took his hand, and squeezed it, "You're the bravest man I've ever met."

"What about the Doctor?"

"Oh, all right. Bravest human."

"I'm sticking with what Rose said before," I said, as I wrapped my arm around his free one, "I think you are a lot braver than my uncle…" I looked at him and smiled.

Mickey smiled back, "Well, I can't think what the Daleks need with me. I'm nothing to them."

"You could be… " Said Rose, "Whatever's inside that Ark is waking up, and I've seen this happen before. The first time I saw a Dalek, it was broken. It was dying. But I touched it. The moment I did that… I brought it back to life. As the Doctor said… when you travel in time in the TARDIS, you soak up all this… um… background radiation. It's harmless. It's just there. But in the Time War, the Daleks evolved so they could use it as a power supply."

"I love it when you talk technical."

"Shut up."

"If the Daleks have got something inside that thing, and it needs waking up…" I said.

"They need you or Rose," said Mickey.

"You've traveled in time. Any of us would do."

"But why would they build something they can't open themselves?"

"The technology is stolen," said The Black Dalek, "The Ark is not of Dalek design."

"Then who built it?" I asked.

"The Time Lords. This is all that survives of your Home World." The Daleks then shuffled around the Ark.

"I wouldn't say that…" I said as I crossed my arms across my chest, "What's inside?"

"The future."

I thought about what the Black Dalek said… The Time Lords built the Ark and inside was the future of the Daleks… It just wasn't making sense to me. "Final stage of awakening," said one of the Daleks.

The Black Dalek looked at me, "Your handprint will open the Ark."

I shook my head, "No… I won't do it…" I didn't care. There was no way I would do anything to release the Hell that was inside that thing…

"Obey or the humans will die." said the Black Dalek.

I looked down dejected. I couldn't sacrifice Rose or Mickey to save the planet. I looked at my friends. "I'm sorry.." Then I started to walk toward the Ark.

"Teddy, don't." said Mickey.

"Place your hand upon the casket," said the Black Dalek.

"All right!" I said, "You're going to kill us anyway, so why not?" Then I looked at the Black Dalek, "If you um… escaped the Time War… don't you want to know what happened to the Emperor?"

"The Emperor survived?"

"'Til he met me…" said Rose. The Black Dalek looked at her and she continued, "I met the Emperor, and I took the Time Vortex and I poured it into his head and turned him into dust. Do you get that? The God of all Daleks… and I destroyed him." Rose smiled and laughed.

"You will be exterminated!"

Just then my uncle walked into the room wearing his 3D glasses, "Oh now, hold on, wait a minute."

"Alert, alert. You are the Doctor," said the Black Dalek.

"Sensors report he is unarmed," said Dalek They.

"That's me. Always." said The Doctor.

"Then you are powerless," said The Black Dalek.

"Not me," said The Doctor, as he took his glasses off with a flourish, "Never." Then he looked at Rose, "How are you?"

"Oh, same old, you know." she said with a grin.

"Good." He walked up to me and hugged me, "You did good…"

"I learned from the best…"

Then he turned toward Mickey, "And Mickity McMickey!" They bumped fists, "Nice to see ya!"

"And you, boss," said Mickey.

"Social interaction will cease!" said one of the Daleks.

"How did you survive the Time War?" asked The Black Dalek.

"By fighting. On the front line. I was there at the fall of Arcadia. Someday I might even come to terms with that." said my uncle. I looked down, I lost many friends at the Battle of Arcadia, "But you lot ran away!" he continued.

"We had to survive."

"The last four Daleks in existence. So what's so special about you?"

"Doctor, they've got names," I said, "I mean, Daleks don't have names, do they"

Then the Daleks started to introduce themselves, "I am Dalek Thay."

"Dalek Sek," said the Black Dalek.

"Dalek Jast."

"Dalek Caan."

"So that's it!" said the Doctor, "At last. The Cult of Skaro. I thought you were just a legend."

"Who are they?" asked Rose

"A secret order," I said, "above and beyond the Emperor himself. Their job was to imagine, think as the enemy thinks."

"Even dared to have names," said The Doctor, "All to find new ways of killing."

"But that thing," said Mickey as he pointed to the Ark, "they said it was yours. I mean, Time Lords. They built it. What does it do?"

"I don't know. Never seen it before."

"But it's Time Lord," said Rose.

"Both sides had secrets. What is it? What have you done?"

"Time Lord science will restore Dalek supremacy," said Dalek Sek.

"What does that mean? What sort of Time Lord science? What do you mean?"

"They said one touch from a time traveler will wake it up," I said

"Technology using the one thing a Dalek can't do. Touch. Sealed inside your casing. Not feeling anything… ever… from birth to death, locked inside a cold metal cage." Then my uncle whispered, "Completely alone. That explains your voice. No wonder you scream."

"The Doctor will open the Ark!" said Dalek Sek.

The Doctor just laughed and said, "The Doctor will not."

"You have no way of resisting."

"Well… you got me there. Although… there is always this." He reached into his pocket and took out his sonic screwdriver.

"A sonic probe?"

"That's 'screwdriver.'"

"It is harmless," said Dalek Sek, scornfully.

"Oh, yes. Harmless is just the word. That's why I like it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you what it does do. It is VERY good at opening doors."

He pressed a button and the doors to the room exploded inward. We saw Cybermen and people carrying guns similar to what Mickey was using, one of the people was Jake from the parallel world.

"Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!" said The Cybermen

"Alert. Casing impaired. Casing impaired!" called out Dalek Caan, as he was hit by one the energy beams.

The Doctor, Rose and I flung ourselves to the floor trying to avoid being hit.

"Teddy! Rose! get out!" called The Doctor.

We started to make our way to the door but Rose stumbled. I was stunned to see Pete help her up, "Come on…" he said.

"Fire power insufficient! Fire power insufficient!" said Dalek Sek.

Rose, Pete and I watched as Mickey dove for his gun and started firing. "Daleks will be deleted. Delete! Delete!" called out one of the Cybermen.

The Doctor made is way to the doorway and Rose called out, "Mickey, come on!"

"Adapt to weaponry," said Dalek Thay. Jake managed to reach the door.

"Fire power restored!" said Dalek Sek. Sek shot at a Cyberman next to Mickey and destroyed it. As a result, Mickey lost his footing and accidently placed his hand on the Ark, leaving a red mark on it. Then he made a dash for the door. "Cybermen primary target." said Dalek Sek.

Mickey was wincing in pain and looking at his hand when the rest of Jake's men made it out of the room. The Doctor closed the door sealing the Daleks and Cybermen inside, "Jake, check the stairwell. The rest of you, come on!" said The Doctor, then we started to run down the hall back to the warehouse.

"I just fell, I didn't mean it!" said Mickey as we ran.

"Mickey, without us, they'd have opened it by force. To do that, they'd have blown up the sun. You've done us a favor," said The Doctor "Now, run!"

We turned down a corridor and saw two Cybermen in front of us. We heard one of them say to someone in front of us, "You will be upgraded."

We heard a very familiar female voice call out, "No, but you can't. Please."

Pete grabbed the gun from Mickey's and shot the two Cybermen in the back. They fell to the ground and when the smoke cleared there was Jackie.

"Pete?!" she said.

"Hello, Jacks."

"I said there were ghosts, but that's not fair," she said sounding annoyed, "Why him?"

I laughed a little and Pete said, "I'm not a ghost."

"But you're dead. You died twenty years ago, Pete."

Then my uncle stepped forward, "It's Pete from a different universe. There are parallel worlds, Jackie. Every single decision we make creates a parallel existence, a different dimension where…"

I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back over to Rose, Mickey and Me. "They are having a moment if you don't mind!"

"Oh… you look old," said Jackie.

"You don't." said Pete.

"How can you be standing there?" asked Jackie. I wrapped my arm around the Doctor's arm to keep him out of their conversation.

"I just got lucky," said Pete, "Lived my life. You were left on your own. You didn't marry again, or…?"

"There was never anyone else. Twenty years, though. Look at me. I never left that flat. Did nothing with myself."

"You brought her up. Rose Tyler. That's not bad."

"Yeah," said Jackie, in a whisper.

"In my world, it worked. All those daft little plans of mine, they worked. Made me rich."

"I don't care about that," she paused, "How rich?"

"Very."

"I don't care about that. How very?"

Pete laughed, "Thing is though, Jacks, you're… you're not my wife. I'm sorry, but you're not. I mean, we both…." Jackie nodded and then he continued, "You know, it's just sort of… Oh, come here…" They ran to meet each other, Jackie started crying. He swept her off her feet into a big hug. . I smiled, they put me in mind of Amy and Bob, my human parents.

We made our way back to the warehouse and saw the battle between the Cybermen and the Daleks. The Doctor dove into the room. I alternated between looking at The Doctor and looking at Rose who was next to me. I could tell she was just as anxious as I was. He reached into a box and took out two large black block-like devices, that I recognized as magnaclamps. Attach it to an object and it cancels the mass. You could lift two tons of weight with one hand. The Doctor returned with the magnaclamps and we started to make our way out but The Doctor put on his 3D glasses and looked back into the room. I put mine on and we watched as The Daleks reached the center of the warehouse, "Override roof mechanism," said Dalek Sek. The roof of the warehouse started to open, "Elevate."

Then, Dalek Sek and the Ark started to rise up into the London sky.

"What're they doing?" asked Rose, "Why do they need to get outside?!"

"Time Lord science. What Time Lord science?" said The Doctor, baffled. We took off our glasses, "What is it?"

We closed the door and started running down the corridor. As we ran all I could think was Time Lord science… The future of the Daleks…

"We've got to see what it's doing," said The Doctor, "We've got to go back up. Come on! All of you. top floor!"

"That's forty five floors up!" said Jackie, "Believe me, I've done them all."

Just then Jake popped his head out the elevator doors, "We could always take the lift."

As we went up, my brain continued to think…Time Lord science… The future of the Daleks… As we got near the top… It came to me… and it made me sick. And, I hoped and prayed I was wrong. I looked at my uncle, "Doctor… I figured it out…" He looked at me, "Time Lord science… It's bigger on the inside…"

His eyes went wide, "No…" he said. The elevator doors opened and the two of us ran for the windows. We reached an office overlooking London he dumped the magnaclamps on a desk and looked out the windows. And our worst fears were realized. We saw the Ark and Dalek Sek outside. The Ark was spinning around and as it spun more Daleks came out.

"Did the Time Lords put those Daleks in there? What for?" asked Mickey.

"It's a prison ship," I said.

"How many Daleks?" asked Rose.

"Millions," I said.

We all watched as the Daleks spread over London. Cybermen on the streets below started firing at the Daleks and the Daleks returned fire. As we looked at the fighting the Doctor telepathically told me about what happened while I was with Rose & Mickey and his plan to close the rift and get rid of the Cybermen & the Daleks. But, it would come with a cost…

"I'm sorry, but you've had it," said Pete, as he walked away from the window, "This world's going to crash and burn. There's nothing we can do. We're going home." He handed her one of the yellow buttons, "Jacks, take this. You're coming with us."

"But they're destroying the city!" she said.

"I'd forgotten you could argue," he said affectionately, as he looped the button around her neck himself, "It's not just London, it's the whole world." He took her face in his hand and made her look at him, "But there's another world just waiting for you, Jacks. And it's safe as long as the Doctor closes the breach. Doctor? Teddy?"

The Doctor and I turned around and we were both wearing our 3D glasses again.

"Oh, We're ready," said The Doctor, "We've got the equipment right here. Thank you, Torchwood." He walked up to a computer and started typing, "Slam it down and close off both universes."

"Reboot systems," said the computer.

"But we can't just leave. What about the Daleks? And the Cybermen?" asked Rose.

"They're part of the problem, and that makes them part of the solution." I said, I looked at the group "Isn't anyone going to ask why we are wearing these glasses?"

Rose smiled, "Why are you two wearing those glasses?"

"So we can see! that's why!" said The Doctor.

I rolled my eyes and continued, "We've got two separate worlds, but in between the two separate worlds, we've got the Void. That's where the Daleks were hiding. And the Cybermen traveled through the Void to get here. And you all," I said pointing at Mickey, Jake, and Pete, "one world to another, via the Void."

"Oh, I like that," said The Doctor, "Via the Void. Look." He took his glasses off and put them on Rose, "I've been through it. Do you see?"

Rose then could see what The Doctor and I could see. Everyone and everything that had been through the Void was surrounded by floating green and red particles. She reached out and tried to touch them.

"Reboot in three minutes." said the computer.

"What is it?" asked Rose.

"Void stuff."

"Like um… background radiation."

"That's it. Look at the others," said the Doctor as he turned Rose to look at Jake, Mickey, Jackie and Pete. "And the only one who hasn't been through the Void, your mother. First time she's looked normal all in her life."

I slapped him on the shoulder and Jackie said, "Oi!"

The Doctor then ran to the large empty white wall on the other end of the room "But the Daleks lived inside the Void. They're bristling with it. Cybermen, all of them. We just open the Void and reverse. The Void stuff gets sucked back inside."

"Pulling them all in!" said Rose.

"Pulling them all in!"

"Sorry… What's… what's the Void?" asked Mickey.

"The dead space between universes," I said as I took of my 3D glasses , "Some people call it Hell."

Mickey looped his button around his neck, "So… you're sending the Daleks and Cybermen to Hell." He looked at Jake, "Man, I told you they were good."

"But it's like you said," said Rose to the Doctor, "We've all got Void stuff. Me too, because we went to that parallel world," she took her glassed off, " We're all contaminated. We'll get pulled in."

"That's why you've got to go," said The Doctor.

"Reboot in two minutes," said the computer.

"Back to Pete's World," he pointed at Pete, "Hey, we should call it that. Pete's World. I'm opening the Void, but only on this side. You'll be safe on that side."

"And then you close it, for good?" asked Pete.

"The breach itself is soaked in Void stuff," I said, "In the end it'll close itself."

"But you two stay on this side?" said Rose to The Doctor.

"But you'll both get pulled it," said Mickey.

The Doctor continued to look at Rose. Then he ran over to the desk and picked up the magnaclamps "That's why I got these. We'll just have to hold on tight. I've been doing it all my life."

"I'm supposed to go." said Rose.

"Yeah," said my uncle.

"To another world, and then it gets sealed off."

"Yes," I said as my uncle and I started to work on getting the system back online.

"Forever," Rose laughed, "That's not going to happen."

A crash from outside shook the building. "We haven't got time to argue," said Pete, "The plan works. We're going. You too. All of us."

"No, I'm not leaving here." said Rose.

"I'm not going without her," said Jackie

" Oh, my God. We're going!" said Pete.

"I've had twenty years without you, so button it," said Jackie, "I'm not leaving her."

"You've got to." said Rose.

"Well, that's tough."

"Mum…"

"Reboot in one minute," said the computer.

"I've had a life with you for nineteen years," said Rose, with her voice trembling and tears threatening to fall, "but then I met the Doctor and Teddy, and all the things I've seen them do for me, for you, For all of us, For the whole… stupid planet and every planet out there. They do it alone, mum."

The Doctor and I watched as Rose said goodbye to her mother. We both thought about our friends and family that we had lost during the Time War. We'd never see them again. We knew how much she loved her mother. We couldn't ask Rose to give her up for us, nor could we let Rose give her up for us. We looked at each other and nodded.

My uncle reached into his pocket and took out a yellow button similar to the one that Mickey showed us in the sphere chamber. and he came up behind Rose, "But not anymore, because now he's got me." Then he looped the chain of the button around Rose's neck, "What're you"

Pete pressed the button and everyone except The Doctor and I where left in the control room. I gave my uncle a quick hug. He looked down at me and smiled. Then I heard Rose's voice "I think this is the on switch…"

My uncle walked over to Rose and grabbed her roughly by the shoulders, stooping slightly, so he could look her in the eyes. "Once the breach collapses, that's it. You will never be able to see her again. Your own mother!"

"I made my choice a long time ago," said Rose, calmly but her voice trembling, "and I'm never going to leave you." The Doctor stared at her. Then, he released his grip on her shoulders, "So what can I do to help?" she asked.

The computer announced, "Systems rebooted. Open access."

He pointed to a computer, "Those coordinates over there, set them all at six." Rose nodded and headed over to the computer, "And Hurry up!" He yelled. Rose leaned over the computer and took her button off.

I shook my head and went over to a computer to see how the system was booting up. Then, there was an alert and video feed from one of the stairways, "We've got Cybermen on the way up." I said.

My uncle rushed over to look, "How many floors down?"

"Just one."

We looked on the screen and saw The Cybermen climbing the stairs. "We will retreat through the breach. Regain the Home World."

Then another Cyberman appeared at the top of the stairs carrying a gun like Mickey did, "You will not pass."

"What is the meaning of this?"

"You will not pass," then the Cyberman at the top of the stairs, "I did my duty for Queen and Country. I did my duty for Queen and Country. I did my duty for Queen and Country."

"Levers operational," said the Computer. The Doctor went into the office and got the Magnaclamps. He handed one to me and then he went across the room. My uncle went over to the wall and put the clamp on the wall near the leaver. "Press the Red Button" He said. I did what he said and the clamp attached to the wall, I pulled on it to make sure it was secure. I hung on to the clamp and got ready to hold on.

Then, The Doctor started to talk very fast, as he and Rose walked to the levers and got ready to turn them on "When it starts, just hold on tight. Shouldn't be too bad for us but the Daleks and the Cybermen are steeped in Void stuff. Are you ready?

"So are they," said Rose, as she looked behind me.

I turned and saw 4 Daleks outside the window. "Let's do it!" He said. He and Rose pushed the levers to the on position and then they ran over to the clamps. Rose and I shared one while The Doctor was on his own on the other side of the room.

"Online." said the Computer.

The room was filled with bright white light and a very strong wind was trying to suck us in. I held tightly with both arms and made sure my feet were set. I turned my head when I heard the glass break. I looked and saw the Daleks outside fly past us and into the Void.

"The breach is open! Into the Void! Ha!" said the Doctor. I watched as Daleks and Cybermen were sucked into the Void along with the Genesis Ark. I looked over at The Doctor and Rose and they were smiling at each other. Everything was going to plan until a Dalek crashed into the lever on our side of the room and knocked the lever out of place and slide into the off position.

"Offline," said the computer.

"Turn it on!" said the Doctor as the suction started to decrease. Rose and I looked at each other for a moment. Rose reached for the lever while trying to maintain her grip on the clamp, but it was too far away. She strained to reach it, eventually falling onto it. I tried to grab her arm as she fell but I couldn't grab it fast enough. I quickly regained my grip on the clamp and watched helplessly as Rose struggled to get the lever back up, "I've got to get it upright!" she called out.

After some effort she got it back up, "Online and locked." said the Computer.

Almost instantaneously the section increased, and the Doctor and I watched in fear as we watched Rose holding on to nothing but the lever.

"Rose, hold on!" I yelled. But, the Void was too strong. It pulled on her, making it nearly impossible for her to hold on. She winced, crying out in effort.

"Hold on!" said my uncle. I could tell he wanted to run to her but he knew that he would be sucked into The Void because there were still Daleks and Cybermen flying past us.

Rose moaned but just couldn't hold on any longer. With one last cry, her grip slipped and she was pulled back towards the Void. The Doctor and I screamed her name as we watched her being pulled away from us. Then, Pete appeared in front of the breach. She fell into his arms and glanced over her shoulder at us before Pete hit the button, and they vanished. We just stared at the breach and watched as it closed itself. Sealing Rose in Pete's World forever. Once it was safe, The Doctor and I walked slowly up to the wall. I watched as The Doctor pressed his head against the wall, then he laid his hand on it, palm flat against it before leaning against it, as though he might feel Rose on the other side.

I walked up to him and gave him a hug, "At least, Pete caught her in time… She'll safe in Pete's World."

The Doctor nodded, "I just wish I could have said Goodbye…"

I thought for a moment, "Maybe there's a way…"

It took us a bit of time but we found a small crack that hadn't finished sealing. While I moved the TARDIS in position to send the projection. The Doctor sent a Rose a message telling her where she needed to go to receive the projection. Her subconscious would process the message as a dream. "We are in position." I said, "are you ready?"

The Doctor nodded, "I'm Ready."

I pressed a couple of buttons on the console and walked over to my uncle. I closed my eyes and then opened them. We were standing on a beach and Rose was standing in front of us.

"Where are you?" asked Rose.

"Inside the TARDIS." said The Doctor.

"Teddy found one tiny little gap in the Universe left, just about to close, and it takes a lot of power to send this projection. We're in orbit around a super nova." He laughed a little, "We're burning up a sun just to say goodbye."

"You look like ghosts."

"Hold on," I said, "I took out my sonic screwdriver and pointed it toward where the console was in our universe, to make us look solid to Rose.

"Can I t-?"

I shook my head "We're still just images. You can't touch us."

"Can't you come through properly?" said Rose, her voice trembling.

"The whole thing would fracture," said The Doctor, "Two universes would collapse."

"So?" she said, half joking.

The Doctor and I smiled. We looked at each other for a few moments. Then, he looked around and asked, "Where are we? Where did the gap come out?"

"We're in Norway."

"Norway. Right."

"About fifty miles out of Burgen. It's called 'Dårlig Ulv Stranden'."

"Dalek?" he said in a surprised tone.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Dårlig. It's Norwegian for bad."

"This translates as Bad Wolf Bay," said Rose. We all laughed for a moment, "How long have we got?"

"About two minutes," I said.

"I can't think of what to say!" she said, almost laughing.

My uncle looked to his left and saw, Pete, Jackie, and Mickey standing by a Jeep, "You've still got Mister Mickey, then?"

"There's five of us now," said Rose, "Mum, Dad, Mickey and the baby."

The Doctor's eyes got big, "You're not?"

"No," Rose laughed, "It's mum. She's three months gone. More Tylers on the way."

"And what about you?" I asked, "What are you doing now?"

"I'm back working in the shop," said Rose.

The Doctor nodded, "Oh, good for you."

Rose laughed, "Shut up. No, I'm not. There's still a Torchwood on this planet. It's open for business." I could see the tears forming in her eyes, "I think I know a thing or two about aliens."

"Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth," said the Doctor, with pride. They looked at each other for a moment then the Doctor continued, "You're dead, officially, back home. So many people died that day and you've gone missing. You're on a list of the dead." Rose started to cry, "Here you are," said The Doctor with a smile, "Living a life day after day. The one adventure I can never have."

"Am I ever going to see you two again?" asked Rose as she started to sob.

I could feel the tears forming in my eyes, "I'm sorry, but you can't."

"What're you going to do?"

"Oh, We've got the TARDIS. Same old life. Last of the Time Lords."

"Just the two of you?" asked Rose. He nodded. I looked at Rose and felt the tears rolling down my cheeks as I looked I her crying, "I lo-" She got choked up and it took her a moment to regain her composure and said, "I love you." Then, she started to cry again.

"Quite right, too," Said my uncle. Rose nodded and smiled through her tears, "And I suppose… if it's one last chance to say it… Rose Tyler… I love you, too…"

I could sense the connection was going to fade, "Goodbye, Rose…" I said. I wished I could have given her a hug. And with that, the connection with Pete's World was broken and the final crack had closed. I looked and saw we were in the TARDIS.

I looked at my uncle and saw the streaks of tears running down his face. I wrapped my arms around him and started to cry. He returned the hug and we just stood there holding each other for several moments. Then, he pulled back and rubbed his hands over his eyes to wipe the tears away. I did the same, "Let's get out of here…" he said.

I nodded, we walked over to the console and started to get the TARDIS ready to move way from the supernova. We didn't really know where we were going next and we really didn't care. We just need to get away from where we were now. All of the sudden he stopped. "What?" he gasped in surprise.

I looked at my uncle and saw he was staring at something behind me near the door. I turned around and was shocked by what I saw. There was a woman dressed in a wedding gown standing there, her red hair visible through her veil. The woman turned around as well, yelping in surprise. From looking at her face I figured she was about my mom's age.

"What?!" I said.

"Who are you?" asked The Bride.

"But…" said the Doctor as he looked around.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"What?!" I said.

"What the hell is this place?" yelled The Bride.

"What?!" said The Doctor and I in unison.

To Be Continued….

A/N: Well, that's the end of Series 2. I must say I was debating on where or not to keep Rose. And for awhile as I was working on this story, Rose did stay. But, then I thought more about what I wanted to do with the story and if Rose stayed there would be a lot of people in the TARDIS by the time Amy and Rory show up. Anyway, Please Read and Review, that helps me get inspired to keep working.
