Everyone recovered from the jump. Amy was sitting on the ground and both the Doctor and Rose looked up and saw that the lights were flickering. "Up. Look up," he said
"Are you okay?" River asked Amy.
"What happened?" Amy asked, holding her head.
"We jumped," River explained.
"Jumped where?" Amy asked.
"Up. Up. Look up," the Doctor said, repeating himself.
"Where are we?" Amy asked.
"Exactly where we were," River replied.
"No we're not," Amy said.
"Move your feet," the Doctor said to Amy and she moved her feet and he sonicks a circular hatch in the floor, with six inset lights around it.
"Doctor, Rose, what am I looking at?" Amy asked "One of you, Explain to me, what I'm looking at."
"Oh, come on, Amy, think," the Doctor said "The ship crashed with the power still on, yeah? So what else is still on?"
Suddenly Amy realized they were on the Byzantium as her eyes widened.
"The artificial gravity," the Doctor explained "One good jump, and up we fell. Shot out the grav globe to give us an updraft, and here we are."
"Doctor, the statues," Octavian reported"They look more like Angels now."
"They're feeding on the radiation from the wreckage, draining all the power from the ship, restoring themselves," the Doctor explained "Within an hour, they'll be an army."
Suddenly the circular hatch opens and a light goes bang "They're taking out the lights," the Doctor said "Look at them. Look at the Angels." Everyone looked at the angels "Into the ship, now."," he suddenly ordered "Quickly, all of you."
"How?" Amy asked and both the Doctor and Rose jumped into the hatch holding each other's hand, and they were standing up in a corridor, but from Amy's point of view they were standing up in a sideways corridor.
"Doctor! Rose!" Amy cried as she looks into the hatch.
"It's just a corridor," the Doctor said "The gravity orientates to the floor. Now, in here, all of you. Don't take your eyes off the Angels. Move, move, move."
"Okay, men. Go, go, go!" Octavian ordered his men as the Doctor works on a control panel inside the corridor and Octavian and his men joined both Gallifreyans in the corridor. "The Angels. Presumably they can jump up too?"
The hatch suddenly closes as everyone was inside the corridor. "They're here, now. In the dark, we're finished," the Doctor said and suddenly an alarm starts beeping as a bulkhead further along the corridor starts to close. "Run!"
"This whole place is a death trap," Octavian said.
"No, it's a time bomb," the Doctor explained as they try to reach the door behind them that was closing and fails to reach it in time "Well, it's a death trap and a time bomb. And now it's a dead end. Nobody panic." Suddenly they heard a clattering sound at the other end of the corridor "Oh, just me then. What's through here?"
"Secondary flight deck," River answered.
"Okay. so we've basically run up the inside of a chimney, yeah?" Amy said as River flipped a device open "So what if the gravity fails?"
"I've thought about that," the Doctor said holding his screwdriver.
"Me too," Rose said.
"And?" Amy asked them.
"And we'll all plunge to our deaths. See? Me and Rose have thought about it," He told Amy and them placed his hands on the bulkhead that was in front of them "The security protocols are still live. There's no way to override them. It's impossible."
"How impossible?" River asked as she works on the device
"Two minutes," the Doctor answered and suddenly the outer hatch opens.
"The hull is breached and the power's failing," Octavian said and the lights go out and they saw an arm that is silhouetted against the open hatch.
"Sir, incoming," one of the Clerics said.
"Doctor? Rose? Lights," Amy said and the Angel is starts to enter and the lights flicker, and all four of the Weeping Angels get inside as the lights flicker and the hatch is closed behind them.
"Clerics, keep watching them," Octavian ordered.
"And don't look at their eyes. Anywhere else. Not the eyes," the Doctor added as he helps River turn the lights back on "I've isolated the lighting grid. They can't drain the power now."
"Good work, Doctor," Octavian said to the Time Lord as the Doctor heads back to the bulkhead behind them.
"Yes," the Doctor said, walking back over to Octavian "Good, good, good. Good in many ways. Good do either of you like it so far?" He walked back to Rose and Amy
"So far?" Amy asked him.
"Well, there's only one way to open this door," Rose said as she opens a panel and took out her screwdriver"I guess we'd need to route all the power in this section through the door control.
"Good. Fine. Do it," Octavian told the Time Lady.
"Rose is right and it Includes the lights as well," the Doctor said "All of the lights. she'll need to turn out the lights."
"How long for?" Octavian asked.
"Fraction of a second," he estimated as he had no idea how long the lights would be turned off for "Maybe longer. Maybe quite a bit longer."
"Maybe?" Octavian asked.
"I'm guessing," he answered, "We're being attacked by statues in a crashed ship. There isn't a manual for this."
"Doctor, we lost the torches," Amy said "We'll be in total darkness."
"There is no other way," Rose told her.
"Rose is right, there is no other way," the Doctor said agreeing with his wife and looked at Octavian "Bishop."
"Doctor Song, I've lost good Clerics today. You trust this man and his wife?" River turned around as she heard Octavian call her.
"I absolutely trust them," River said, answering Octavian's question.
"He's not some kind of madman, then?" Octavian asked "How about his wife?"
"I absolutely trust them," River answered "And Rose is not a madwoman."
"Excuse me," the Doctor said as he walks back to Rose.
"I'm taking your word, because I've heard you're one of the only people who can manage this guy," Octavian whispered to her in a sotto pitched voice "But that only works so long as he and his wife doesn't know who you are. You cost me any more men, and I might just tell them. Understood?"
"Understood," River said as she gets back with working with the device that she has been working on fixing and a few seconds later she flipped it back down.
"Okay, Doctor, you too, Rose, We've got your backs," Octavian told both Gallifreyans
"Bless you. Bishop," the Doctor said and he bent his knees "Rose, are you finished yet?"
"I'm Almost done, Doctor," she said hand me those wires from that panel so I can connect it with the bulkhead." He did what she said and she connects it to the bulkhead's wheel.
"Combat distance, ten feet. As soon as the lights go down, continuous fire," Octavian said as he ordered his clerics to take positions "Full spread over the hostiles. Do not stop firing while the lights are out. Shotgun protocol. We don't have bullets to waste."
"Amy, when the lights go down, the wheel should release," the Doctor said "Someone will have to spin it clockwise, four turns."
"Ten," Amy said, unconsciously.
"No, four," Rose said "He said, Four turns."
"Yeah, four," she said "I heard what he said."
"Ready!" Rose announced and she inserts her sonic screwdriver into the control unit panel.
"On my count, then," Octavian said "God be with us all. Three, two, one, fire!" The lights go out and the Clerics start shooting at the approaching Angels.
"Doctor, Amy? One of you better start Turning the wheel!" Rose yelled and the Doctor starts turning the wheel clockwise.
"Doctor, it's opening. It's working," AMy said as the Doctor turns the wheel clockwise and they get the bulkhead open just enough to squeeze through.
"Fall back!" Rose said and everyone but Rose went through in order to watch out for the Weeping Angels and after everyone else go through the bulkhead, she went through the bulkhead and it suddenly clangs shut again. They run along a short corridor and stop at the end of the corridor, which was another bulkhead and the Doctor uses his screwdriver on the wall and the bulkhead suddenly slides open.
Everyone went through the bulkhead which took them to a secondary flight deck "Doctor, quickly!" River said from the Secondary Flight Deck.
"Doctor!" Amy and Rose both shouted at the same time and the Doctor dodges inside at the last second, as the door closes, and he runs to the controls, Rose and Amy followed. The Angels thump on the door and the wheel starts turning from the other side.
"Doctor! What are you doing?" Amy asked as Octavian places a device on the door and the wheel stops turning.
"Magnetized the door. Nothing could turn that wheel now," Octavian told everyone.
"Yeah?" The Doctor and Rose said as they both doubted that the wheel would stay still for long but suddenly the wheel starts to turn again.
"Dear God!" Octavian said as he looked behind him and saw the wheel continue to move, even with the device that he used to magnetize the door.
"Ah, now you're getting it," the Doctor said as he went to pick up a device on the controls next to him"You've bought us time though. That's good. I am good with time."
"Doctor, you are not that good with time as this incarnation of you is easily distracted, I've noticed," Rose told him.
"Doctor," Amy said looking at a bulkhead in front of them and saw that the wheel on a second door to the right of the main one was starting to turn.
OCTAVIAN: "Seal that door," Octavian ordered his clerics "Seal it now." One of his Clerics took out another of the magnitzer devices and places it on the door.
'We're surrounded," River said and another one of the Clerics places a magnetizer on the door to the left.
"Seal it. Seal that door," Octavian said repeating himself "Doctor, how long have we got?"
"Five minutes, max," the Doctor answered.
"Nine," Amy suddenly said.
"Five," the Doctor corrected her
"Five. Right. Yeah," Amy said.
"Why'd you say nine?" He asked her.
"I didn't," Amy said with confusion. Rose was worried about her just like her husband was.
"We need another way out of here," River said.
"There isn't one," Octavian told her.
"Yeah, there is," the Doctor said "'Course there is. This is a galaxy class ship. Goes for years between planet falls. So, what do they need?"
"Of course," River said as she realized what the Doctor meant.
"Of course what?" Amy asked with confusion "What do they need?"
"Can we get in there?" Octavian asked as he knew what the Doctor was talking about.
"Well, it's a sealed unit, but they must have installed it somehow," the Doctor answered him as he walks towards a wall "This whole wall should slide up." He moved 2 containers over two two of the Clerics "There's clamps. Release the clamps."
"What's through there? What do they need?" Amy asked as the Doctor uses his screwdriver on the clamps that are on the bottom of the wall.
"Amy, what do you need in order to breath in space?" Rose said trying to explain to her.
Rose is right," RIver said "They need to breathe." The Doctor continues using his screwdriver on the clamps
The wall slides upwards and they saw a forest. "But that's. That's a," Amy said as she realized what Rose and River meant that they'd need oxygen.
"It's an oxygen factory," River explained.
"It's a forest," Amy said as she saw trees and other plants in the room in front of her.
"Yeah, it's a forest," River explained "It's an oxygen factory."
"And if we're lucky, an escape route," the Doctor said.
"Hopefully it will be," Rose said agreeing with him.
"Eight," Amy suddenly said after chuckling for a second.
"What did you say?" River asked her.
"Nothing," Amy said with confusion
"Is there another exit?" The Doctor asked "Scan the architecture, we don't have time to get lost in there."
"On it," Octavian said as he entered the Oxygen factory with a scanner "Stay where you are until I've checked the Rad levels."
"But trees, on a spaceship?" Amy said with amazement.
"Oh, more than trees. Way better than trees. You're going to love this," the Doctor said as he walks into the Oxygen Factory towards one of the trees "Treeborgs." He opened one of the tree barks open to reveal wires underneath the bark "Trees plus technology. Branches become cables become sensors on the hull. A forest sucking in starlight, breathing out air. It even rains. There's a whole mini-climate. This vault is an ecopod running right through the heart of the ship. A forest in a bottle on a spaceship in a maze. Have both me and Rose impressed you yet, Amy Pond?"
"Seven," Amy suddenly said.
"Seven?" The Doctor asked her why she said that.
"Sorry, what?" Amy asked with confusion.
"You said seven," he explained.
"No. I didn't," She said.
"Yes. you did," River said.
"Amy, you definitely did say seven," Rose told Amy.
"Doctor, there's an exit, far end of the ship, into the Primary Flight Deck," Octavian said
"Oh, good," the Doctor said looking in the direction of where Octavia was for a second "That's where we need to go."
"Plotting a safe path now," Octavian told him.
"Quick as you like," the Doctor said hoping that Octavian would plot a safe path quickly.
Suddenly they all heard a loud sound "Doctor? Excuse me?" they heard a voice "Hello, Doctor? Angel Bob here, sir," they all suddenly heard and the Doctor sat in a chair in the centre of the room.
"Ah. There you are, Angel Bob. How's life?" The Doctor said with the communicator "Sorry, bad subject."
"The Angels are wondering what you hope to achieve," Angel Bob told him.
DOCTOR: "Achieve? We're not achieving anything," he replied "We're just hanging. It's nice in here. Consoles, comfy chairs, a forest. How's things with you?"
"The Angels are feasting, sir," Angel Bob answered the Time Lord "Soon we will be able to absorb enough power to consume this vessel, this world. and all the stars and worlds beyond."
"Well, we've got comfy chairs," the Doctor said "Did I mention?"
"We have no need of comfy chairs," Angel Bob told him.
"I made him say 'comfy chairs'," the Doctor said to both Amy and Rose with a smile and both Rose and Amy chuckled.
"Six," Amy suddenly said and the Doctor hAad enough and wanted answers on why Amy was counting down and not remembering saying the numbers that she said.
The Doctor suddenly stood up "Okay, Bob, enough chat," he said "Here's what I want to know. What have you done to Amy?"
"There is something in her eye," was the answer that Angel Bob gave the Time Lord.
"What's in her eye?" He asked Angel Bob.
"We are," Angel Bob told the Time Lord.
"What's he talking about?" Amy asked and he went up into her face "Doctor, I'm five," she said "I mean, five. Fine! I'm fine."
"You're counting," River noticed.
"Finally you noticed it, River," Rose said "I realized that a few moments ago."
"Counting?" Amy asked
"You're counting down from ten," he said "You have been for a couple of minutes."
"You've been counting down since the Doctor said four when we were having trouble with the bulkhead," Rose told her.
"Why?" Amy asked the two Gallifreyans.
"I don't know," the Doctor said.
"I don't know either," Rose said.
"Well, counting down to what?" Amy asked them.
"I don't know," the Doctor answered her
"I don't know either," Rose said.
"We shall take her. We shall take all of you," Angel Bob said as the Doctor sat back in the comfy chair "We shall have dominion over all time and space."
"Get a life, Bob," the Time Lord said "Oops, sorry again. There's power on this ship, but nowhere near that much."
"With respect, sir, there's more power on this ship than you or your wife yet understand," Angel Bob said and suddenly everyone heard a loud screeching sound that can give someone a heart attack.
"What's that? Dear God, what is it?" River asked
"They're back," Octavian said
"It's hard to put in your terms, Doctor Song, but as best I understand it, the Angels are laughing," Angel Bob explained
"Laughing?" Both the Doctor and Rose both said at the same time with confusion.
"Because neither of you haven't noticed yet, sir, ma'am," Angel Bob said "The Doctor and his wife, Rose in the Tardis both haven't noticed."
"Doctor…" Octavian started.
"No. Wait," the Doctor said ignoring what Octavian was going to say "There's something both me and Rose have missed." Both the Doctor and Rose looked around and saw the same crack that was in Amy's wall when she was seven years old, and the crack was in the bulkhead above the entrance and was widening.
"That's, that's, that's like the crack from my bedroom wall from when I was a little girl," Amy noted.
"Yes," the Doctor said and recalled when he was tracing Amy's wall with his finger on AMy's bedroom wall's crack after he and Rose regenerated from radiation poisoning from saving the grandfather of a former companion of theirs.
"Okay, enough," Octavian said as the ground started to shake as if an earthquake occurred "We're moving out."
"Agreed," River said "Doctor?"
"Yeah, fine," the Doctor said as he took out his screwdriver and stood on the comfy chair to scan the crack that was in the bulkhead above them.
"What are you doing?" River asked
"Right with you," he said.
"We're not leaving without you," River said.
"River is right we are not leaving without you," Rose said.
"Oh yes, you are," the Doctor said "Bishop?"
"Rose, Miss Pond, Doctor Song, now!" Octavian called from the Oxygen factory.
"Doctor, come one," Amy said as she went with River.
"Come on, Doctor!" Rose said before going with River and Amy into the Oxygen factory.
"So, what are you?" He asked as he activates his screwdriver and the screwdriver told him that the crack came from a Total Event Collapse "Oh, that's bad. Ah, that's extremely very not good."
He put his screwdriver in his pocket, put his head on the bulkhead with his ear touching the metal and then he suddenly turned around to see that he was surrounded by Weeping Angels.
"Do not blink," he said as he looks around and he kept looking around until one of the angels grabbed hold of his tweed jacket's collar and he screamed.
Meanwhile in the Oxygen factory Octavian, River, AMy and Rose were walking when suddenly Amy started breathing heavily and stopped moving both Rose and River noticed this RIVER: "Amy? Amy, what's wrong?" They both asked at the same time.
Back in the Secondary Flight Deck the Doctor looked around "Why am I not dead then?" He asked and saw that a couple of the weeping angels had their arms upwards as if they were touching the light from the crack or as if they were reaching the crack "Good, and not so good. Oh, this isn't even a little bit good. I mean, is that it? Is that the power that brought you here? That's pure Time Energy. You can't feed on that. That's now power, that's the fire at the end of the universe. I'll tell you something else…" suddenly there was a rumbling sound as if another Earthquake occurred "Never let me talk!" The Doctor said as he runs into the Oxygen factory without his tweed jacket.
Please review and tell me if I'm making Rose sound like well… Rose Because I still don't know how to write her properly and I need a beta-reader.
Sorry for uploading this so late. I have been very busy and keep getting distracted, anyways this chapter is a Christmas present for me and Merry Christmas to all of you readers who are reading this.
