Next chapter up with a few new characters and a name for the Adipose! We get a bit of random conversation first and I really hope I do the characters justice when I write this, and the TARDIS is getting full here! Hope you enjoy this!


Spoilers!

"So who do we have here?" Six asked looking around the console room as they headed through the vortex. "And which ones are you?" he adds looking between his future selves.

"I'm Eleven and he is Ten or technically he's Eleven and I'm Twelve or maybe even Thirteen –" Eleven said but Rory interrupted him.

"Ramble later and explain whatever you just said then, I don't think we need more confusion than we already have" he said and Eleven nodded. "I'm Rory" he added offering Six his hand.

"Six, and I'm not confused as to what my number is" the Time Lord in a colourful coat said sending a slight glare at his future selves.

"Happens when you disown yourself" Ten argued.

"And use a Regeneration without switching body" Eleven added.

"Which technically makes me Twelve" Ten said causing several confused looks around the room.

"How do you disown yourself?" Aaron asked confused as the ship suddenly rocked.

"No time to talk, we're at it again" Ten said as the wheezing sound of landing sounded.

"Same people as last time, come along gang" Eleven called rushing for the door.

Rory sighed before following him along with Vastra, Strax, Porridge and Maddie leaving the rest of them in the console room.

"Does he always have that much energy?" Six asked.

"Most of the time, I've seen him without it once during a few months after a personal disaster but any other time he has always had lots of energy" Jenny said.

"What is that timer?" Aaron asked pointing to the screen and Ten joined him, his eyes widening as he saw what it was.

"Eleven, it's timed" he called into the com link.

"Right, I'll keep that in mind" Eleven said.

"Names, and what is going on?" Six asked.

"Go with Ten and Eleven for the two of us, Rory introduced himself and is in charge of the sickbay on board should we need, he's apparently a nurse, the short man is called Porridge but his real name is apparently long and he is emperor of humanity in his own time, the soldiers are Maddie and Aaron" Ten listed pointing first at the screen while saying names and then pointing to Aaron.

"Porridge is what?!" said man asked staring at the Time Lord.

"Emperor of humanity as I understand it. The Silurian is called Vastra, Jenny here is her wife and the Sontaran, Strax, is their butler and that, is an Adipose baby" Ten said pointing at the little lump of fat in it's chair.

"Which was brought along why?" Six asked.

"We think it stove away while we ran around outside somewhere" Jenny said.

"Not the first time we gain companions from someone being a stove away" Ten added looking at Six who nodded.

"Doctor! They have a child!" Vastra suddenly called outside the TARDIS and everyone inside the box was before the screen at once.

"We need a bigger screen" Six said, four people trying to see the same quite small screen was not the easiest.

"We can get one up later, oh it's those Silence again" Ten said suddenly realising what his future self was up against.

"What are they?" Six asked studying them, he could not remember ever seeing anything like them before.

"Eleven can explain, and another one bites the dust" Ten said happily.

"That's a song, isn't it?" Six asked and Ten nodded.

"Queen, let's see who the kid is" he said. "Eleven, the timer has stopped, you're safe"


"Good, absolutely brilliant" Eleven said hurrying towards the boy who was sitting up and looking around warily. "Artie!" he called and the boy turned to him sighing in relief.

"Doctor, where are we?" he asked then he frowned. "What happened?"

"We're underneath Florida in 1969 and you had a run in with the Silence" the Doctor said helping the boy to his feet.

"So I time travelled without you? Cool! Where's Clara?" the boy asked looking over the Doctor's friends, seeming slightly afraid of Vastra and Strax but his face lit up when he spotted Porridge.

"Oi! Eleven, Allons-y" Ten called from the TARDIS.

"Come along, gang, time to get going again" Eleven said and they all hurried towards the TARDIS, Rory making sure to almost pull Artie along.

"What's going on?" the boy asked as they entered the TARDIS and he saw how many people was in there.

"Artie meet Ten, Six, Vastra, Jenny, Strax, Aaron, Maddie, Porridge, Rory and the Adipose baby that really need a name" Eleven said gesturing around the room.

"Ten and Six aren't names" the boy commented to Rory who was still beside him.

"Neither is Eleven" Rory answered pointing to said regeneration of the Time Lord. "But we can't call all of them just Doctor, no one would know who we were talking to"

"All of them can't be the Doctor" the boy argued.

"It's called regeneration, the Doctor is about to die but instead he changes completely, the numbers are which number of him each of them are even though it seems a bit messed up somewhere around Ten or Nine" Rory tried to explain.

"We disowned the real Nine, so the one before me will be Nine" Ten said and Artie frowned.

"How do you disown yourself?" he asked.

"Don't ask, I don't think any other species can do it" Vastra said and Artie nodded while carefully pulling away from her. "I'm a Silurian if you were wondering"

"Simply put, she is to dinosaurs what humans are to mammals" Rory said and Artie's eyes widened.

"Cool!" he said.

"And she's lesbian" Rory added as Vastra walked over to Jenny and put her arm around her. "Are you okay by the way? Not hurt anywhere?"

"Don't think so, nothing hurts" Artie answered. "Why do you ask?"

"I'm probably the closest you get to a medical doctor in this place right now. Maddie is a medic and Strax is a nurse like me but it's a bit different" Rory explained. "Like the colour by the way" he added nodding to the Controller on Artie's arm.

"They come in different colours?" Artie asked looking to Rory's own arm to see a green one there as well. "What's with the cowboy hat by the way?" he added looking at Eleven who was busy driving the ship through the vortex with his past selves.

"Apparently it's cool, it's better than the fez in my opinion" Rory said. "It will be shot of his head eventually anyway" he shrugged. "All his headwear is"

"By?" Porridge asked sounding interested.

"You'll probably see the way things are going" Rory answered as the ship touched down again. "Where are we this time?"

"The United States of America, Allons-y" Ten said moving to the door. "Who's joining me?"

"Why don't we make it two colours this time? Aaron, grab the Adipose, Jenny, Strax, what do you say?" Vastra said.

"Okay with the rest?" Ten asked and the others nodded. "Allons-y" he called and the other's hurried after him out the door.

"I still don't get what is going on and Doctor, where's Clara?" Artie asked looking at Eleven for the last part.

"I don't know, out there somewhere" Eleven said looking towards the door. "The Sontarans, that's those things, they look like potatoes" he started pointing at the screen where a Sontaran had appeared opposite the others. "They have gotten the technology to time travel and is changing history to create a big war, people seem to be pulled from their own time just to end up in situations where I don't want them, happened to both you and Rory"

"Where are you supposed to be?" Artie asked turning to the man.

"New York, 1938, it's complicated" he added when Artie looked confused. "But then Jenny and Vastra are from the 19th century"

"You lost me" Artie said before looking back at the screen. "Is that a giant 'match three'-game?"

"Yup, it's called Legacy, you see..." Six started and the Doctors lunged into an explanation of the game trying to keep it simple but only half managing.

"So we're playing this game against the universe?" Artie asked just as the door opened and the people who had gone outside came back in. "Cool"

"Who wants a monk robe?" Ten asked holding one up. "We found it outside"

"Oh, give it here" Eleven said soon pulling the robe onto his normal clothes after having discarded his jacket. "I dressed up as a monk once, monks are cool"

Both Ten and Six stared at him for that comment, the same Time Lord coming into both their minds.

"No they're not" they said at the same time and Six actually pulled the robe off Eleven again and put the Stetson back on his head.

"I prefer the hat to the remainder" he said and Eleven grimaced.

"Yeah, probably a good idea" he agreed, he had completely forgotten about the Monk for a second.

"Allons-y" Ten said and Eleven grinned joining him by the console.

"Geronimo!" he called pulling down a lever to take off.

"Where are we going?" Artie asked.

"You never know for sure with the Doctor" Vastra said. "But probably nowhere safe"

"A restaurant would be nice" Porridge said as his stomach grumbled.

The entire room laughed at that and Jenny offered to get them all something to eat in which she was soon joined by Rory and Vastra who first consumed a big piece of raw meat from the fridge, something Rory found slightly disturbing, before joining their cooking. Meanwhile Aaron and a stunned Maddie drilled Porridge about his status as emperor and the Doctors were setting up a room for Artie.

"Do I have to share with Angie?" the boy asked.

"Yes, we're going to have full here anyway so we have to make people share where we can, for the moment that's married couples, soldiers and siblings" Ten said while Eleven typed away.

"You get bunk beds, bunk beds are cool" Eleven said.

"Is everything cool with him?" Six asked.

"I'm starting to suspect that" Ten said.

"I call top bunk!" Artie said and both emperor and soldiers on the other end of the room laughed.

"Think to be a kid again" Aaron said.

"Who knows, you can probably still call top bunk, we get barracks remember?" Maddie said causing more laughter from her friend.

"Lunch!" Vastra announced entering the console room with a plate of sandwiches.

"I suggest you don't touch the ones meant for Vastra, there is raw meat on those" Jenny said coming in as well with two plates of sandwiches, one with a significantly smaller pile.

"Raw meat?" Artie asked slightly disgusted while the rest of them just grabbed sandwiches from the other plates instead.

"Yes, raw meat, perfectly normal for my people" Vastra said biting into a sandwich and accepting a bottle of water from Rory who was carrying a cooler into the console room.

"One question, what does an Adipose eat?" Rory asked and everyone suddenly seemed to be thinking it over.

"It's a baby, do you have any milk in that cooler?" Six asked.

"Will cow milk suffer?" Rory asked pulling out a bottle.

"Sure, for all we know it's made from human fat" Ten said which caused quite a few disgusted expressions around the room. "They lost their breeding planet, it was stolen along with the Earth, it's complicated"

"Was that when there was planets in the sky?" Rory asked and Ten and Eleven both nodded.

"Yeah, Davros and his Daleks stole them" Ten said.

"I could do without never meeting any of those again" Six said and Eleven sighed.

"Couldn't we all" he said just as the ship started to wheeze. "We're landing!" he cried.

"Legacy signal! Someone is out there!" Ten called from the monitor.

"Can we see who?" Six asked.

"No but it doesn't matter, we need to find them" Ten said and everyone from around the room nodded.

"Colour?" Rory asked.

"Looks like blue" Ten said. "Green team?" he asked of Eleven.

"Sounds good, Rory, Maddie, Artie, you're up" he called and the Doctors were just about to start arguing about who of them that would go when Rory called from the door.

"It's New York" he said and Eleven froze. "It's Manhattan"

"It could be Amy" Eleven said after a moment.

"Go" Ten said and Eleven looked at him stunned. "You would let me go if there was a chance it was Rose, I let you go with a chance of it being Amy"

"Well then, Vastra, Strax, come along as well" Eleven said and the group walked out the door.

"The first face that face saw" Ten said to Six who nodded understanding fully.


"Weeping Angels. Be very, very careful." Eleven said when they stood outside the ship. "And if you see an angel statue, don't blink"

"You think it really is…?" Rory trailed off knowing full well it probably was.

"Yes so keep your eyes open and don't let them touch you" Eleven said looking around the roof they were standing on just to freeze when he saw it, a Weeping Angel.

"What is that?" Artie asked being the first of them except the Doctor to see them.

"Weeping Angels, don't take your eyes of them, don't blink" Eleven said. "Ten, turn of the screen, anything that contains an image of an Angel becomes an Angel"

"Right, screen off, audio on" Ten's voice sounded through the communicators.

"Eleven, bring up the board" Rory said and Eleven pressed the bottom for it.

"Still don't take your eyes of them" Eleven said. "I don't know if the Controllers freeze them"

"What are they?" Maddie asked.

"Quantum locked creatures, they move when you don't look at them but as soon as they are seen by any other living creature the turn to stone" Eleven said and everyone made sure to watch them very closely at that.

"We watch them, you play the game, Eleven" Rory said keeping his eyes at the Angel.

"Right, keep your eyes on them" Eleven said moving the gems creating a green focused combo and firing it at the Angel.

"That thing can send you through time?" Artie asked glancing up at Rory.

"Yeah, that's how I ended up in 1938, I really lived in the early 21st century before that" Rory said refusing to take his eyes of the Angel. "Keep your eyes on it"

"You were transported back in time by that thing?" Artie asked looking back at the Angel.

"Yes, from here" Rory said gesturing around them at the dark Manhattan.

"One down, probably many to go, why is my board half filled with stone?" Eleven asked.

"It is?" Ten asked. "I hate manuals" he added and it could be heard that he was leafing through something.

"That's the manual for this game?" Jenny asked.

"I'll try pulling the board up on the screen, probably helps to know what you are looking for" Six's voice sounded.

"Two new ones are up" Maddie said looking at the Angels that just showed up when they all happened to blink.

"Let's get rid of them then before the big one shows up" Rory said shortly gazing beyond the Angels hoping not to see what he deep down knew was there.

"Big one?" Artie asked.

"The Statue of Liberty" Rory answered turning back to the Angels in fear of the others stop looking at them.

"The WHAT?" Artie said spinning to look at him but he was the only one.

"Statue of Liberty Artie, you must have heard of it" Eleven said and Artie rolled his eyes.

"Of course I've heard of it, but are you telling me that it isn't really a statue?" Artie asked looking between the others.

"Eyes on the Angels, Artie" Rory said.

"Is it such a big thing? I don't think I have even seen a picture of it" Vastra said. "It was installed just six years ago after all, I think I read about it in the paper"

"Six years ago?" Artie asked confused.

"Is it that symbol for the original New York that they never made again?" Maddie asked. "They wanted to keep it a symbol of the original one"

"What are you on about?" Artie said still looking between the adults.

"They are not from the 21st century, Artie, that's only you and me" Rory reminded him as one of the Angels fell to Eleven's moves.

"Time travel really does messes with your head, doesn't it?" the boy said turning back to the Angels hoping he could get back into the time machine soon.

"You have no idea" Rory said and had anyone looked at him right then they would have seen ages in his eyes that you would never have expected in the man. He had had such a long and complicated life since he had met the Doctor, actually the Doctor had been a part of his life so much longer than he had actually known the alien. The Doctor had actually become his best friend over time, one of the few to know how old Rory really was.

"Look!" Maddie called pointing towards the end of the roof and they all rushed forwards.

On the street bellow stood the Statue of Liberty but it had the face of a Weeping Angel and was looking straight at them.

"Keep your eyes at it" Eleven called. "I'll move the gems"

"Hurry up, I want to get out of here" Rory said. "I've done this once, I don't need to see it again"

"I have no clue about the stones, Eleven, but we're scanning for that Legacy signal and it's getting fainter" Ten said through the communicator.

"Nothing in the manual?" Artie said.

"I'm tempted to throw that thing out, no help at all" Ten said.

"What other manual was it we threw out? Or did I just think about it?" Six asked sounding like he was thinking quite a bit about it.

"It was the one to the TARDIS, and I don't think I have thrown it out yet, Eleven?" Ten said.

"Threw it into a supernova, or was it a black hole?" Eleven said pondering.

"Doctor! It's stealing the gems" Rory said and Eleven shifted his focus back at once.

"Right, fight first, then manuals" he said starting to move the gems again.

"Is he always easily distracted?" Maddie asked.

"Depends on what's going on but he tends to ramble" Rory said.

"All right, Statue of Liberty down" Eleven said. "Where is that signal, Ten?"

"Somewhere… woah! Something is going on!" Ten shouted and everything shook.

"What's going on?" Artie asked and Rory grabbed a hold of him.

"Going down" Eleven said and next thing they knew they were on the floor in what looked like a basement.

"Was that a throw at Jack or Rose?" Ten's voice came over the com, crackling slightly.

"Something is wrong, Ten can you hear me? Eleven asked.

"Yes but you're breaking up, hang on, we're working on it" Ten said.

"Ten, we read a different time than a minute ago" Six said also sounding like a mistuned radio.

"What? What? What?" Ten said sounding fainter by the moment.

"Angels!" Maddie called and everyone in the basement spun around to look where she pointed.

"Keep your eyes on them, I'm bringing up the board" Eleven said.

"Filthy stone, I'll obliterate you" Strax said.

"One, you don't have your gun, two, you can't kill stone!" Vastra said shaking her head, all to used to the Sontaran.


"Okay, can we get a visual?" Ten asked working away.

"I don't think so, the timing seems off" Six said reading the screen.

"Why would the timing matter?" Porridge asked.

"Not the timing as if it's the right time like you usually use the word rather the fact that there are time disturbances between us and them" Ten explained while he kept trying to fully re-establish the contact with the others.

"Could someone make sure that thing doesn't get in our way?" Six asked pointing to the Adipose who was running around their legs.

"Come here little Adi, let's not disturb the Doctors" Jenny said scoping up the little lump of fat and bunched it.

"You have children?" Porridge asked.

"I'm married to a woman, how would I have children?" Jenny asked. "I have younger relatives though" quite sadly, she hadn't seen them for quite some time but had chosen Vastra over her family.

"Adi, that's a good name" Aaron said and everyone looked at him.

"I've heard worse" Porridge agreed.

"Adi it is then" Ten grinned.

The crackled into working temporary and Artie's voice could be heard.

"… baby angels…" was all they could make out and both Ten and Six were quick to get back to work.

The movements of the two Doctors were a blur as they ran around flipping switches, pressing buttons and typing away trying to pinpoint the signal. All the humans in the room pulled back from the console to give them room blinking as the two started to speak in a beautiful language that had started to become familiar as Gallifreyan. Six shouted something from his position in front of the screen and Ten whipped out his sonic screwdriver, pointing it to one section of the console while turning knobs with his other hand. It was all quite chaotic and Jenny who was the person in the room to know the Doctor the best wondered if this was how it was in his mind. Suddenly she was quite happy to be human, at least there was only one personality in her head.


"Can you track them?" Rory asked Eleven as the alien spun around waving his screwdriver in every possible direction.

"Working on it" he said before stopping with the sonic pointed at the ceiling. "They are still on the roof"

"What are we waiting for?" Vastra asked.

"There's a staircase over here" Maddie called and everyone rushed towards her and hurried up the stairs with Vastra taking the lead closely followed by the Doctor.

They came out on the same roof as before and saw the TARDIS surrounded by Angels, mostly the small baby looking ones that Eleven had called Cherubs down in the basement.

"Jenny" Vastra said sounding quite scared and starting to move for the box.

"No" Eleven said grabbing her arm. "They are safer in there than we are out here" he said.

"We should see if we can get them away from the TARDIS though" Rory said and the others nodded.

"Okay everyone forward, then blink once" Eleven said and they did as he told and when they opened their eyes and saw two Cherubs having broken away from the others and were just before them.

"Let's get this over with" Vastra said, everyone knew she was worried and most of them could understand.

Eleven brought up the board and they were off. The two Cherubs were taken down without too much trouble and was followed by three more before one of the Weeping Angels joined two of the Cherubs against them.

"Rory, call Ten and see if the connection is getting better" Eleven said.

"You think the Angels interfered with it?" Rory asked and his friend nodded. "Ten, Ten do you read me?"

"Rory! What are you doing? Where are you?" Ten's voice sounded, still a bit broken but it was at least a connection.

"We're outside, you were surrounded by Angels, and we're dragging them away" Rory said.

"How many are there left?" Six voice sounded as well.

"Two Angels and four Cherubs" Rory answered. "Make that three Cherubs" he added as one of them fell.

"Keep it up, the Legacy signal is close" Ten said.

They did so and soon the last of the Angels came up towards them. They were all getting quite tired but that was not going to stop Eleven from getting this done and find who he had convinced himself was Amy.

"We won!" Artie called joyously as the last of their enemies fell.

"Not yet" Vastra said pointing to the edge of the roof.

"Oh great, once more we face the biggest of them" Rory said with a sigh.

They once more hurried to the edge of the roof and faced the monstrous version of the famous landmark. They were after a while done and all of them sighed in relief.

"So where is that Legacy signal?" Maddie asked.

As if to answer her a gun went off and Eleven's Stetson flew of his head landing on the ground a few meters away having been hit by the bullet.

"Hello Sweetie"


As if you couldn't guess who was coming from the title. We get a real introduction in next chapter and Eleven has some things to explain to his earlier selves. After all, Ten has met her and she died then. Well things will always get complicated with several Doctors in one place. See you next time!
