The Last Time Lords

Chapter 3: Bye House

The Doctor, Corsair and Braxiatel pulled a wall panel towards the makeshift console. The Delta sat off to the side of the console, twisting wired while The Rani held her Sonic Screwdriver, a leather handled metal tube with wood holding the emitter, the Screwdriver had three copper rings below the emitter and the emitter glowed white when the screwdriver was activated. Drax was near them slowly and carefully putting the wires in the correct places.

Rose hovered around Romana and Flavia, who were going through circuit boards.

"So, what are you looking for, some form of time circuits or something?" Asked Rose, looking down at the two Time Ladies.

Both Romana and Flavia stopped, Innocet poked her head around another pile, where she was watching the three Time Tots and The Shooter while the others worked.

"What did you just say?" Asked Innocet, while one of the children decided to use the Time Lady as a climbing frame.

"You're looking for Time Circuits, right?" Said Rose, as Flavia slowly got to her feet.

Flavia tapped Rose on her shoulder and swiftly punched the human in the face.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Yelled Rose, looking at Flavia.

"Do. Not. Insult. Us." Growled Flavia, glaring at the human.

"What did I say?" Asked Rose, looking at Romana.

"You said Time Circuit." Said Romana, looking at Rose, "Time in non-linear, it is a mass amount of energy and infinite power, no circuit can process time through a TARDIS."

"They're looking for power relays." Said Innocet, as another Time Tot used her as a climbing frame.

Over by the Console the Delta twisted a black and blue wire with a red and yellow wire, he then thumped himself on the chest and started coughing. The Rani looked down at the younger Gallifreyian as he spat something out of his mouth. It was a cylindrical device with a chipped crystal at the top, then a white metallic section and then to a gray metal handle with a white ring around it.

"What's that?" Asked Rani, looking at the younger Time Lord.

"My sister's Sonic Screwdriver, I borrowed it from her when she was placed in stasis." Said The Delta, looking at The Rani.

"I'm not going to ask how you managed to get that down your throat or why it was down there." Said The Rani, going back to her work. Rose wandered over to the two, her hand over her face.

"What happened to you?" Asked the Delta, looking at the blonde haired human.

"Uptight punched me." Said Rose, grasping her face.

"Flavia?" Asked The Rani, walking over to Rose and moving her hand away, "Well your nose is broken, but I know a trick that can help with that."

The Rani placed her hand over Rose's face and held it there, slowly the hand started glowing with regeneration energy. When The Rani removed her hand, Rose's face was back to normal.

"How'd you do that?" Asked Rose, looking at The Rani.

"It's a small trick, it allows us to heal broken bones when we need to." Said The Rani, going back to what she was doing.

Rose looked at the red-headed Time Ladies back.

"Thank you." Said Rose, moving away from the group.

"What did the human do to make you so short with her?" Asked Omega, looking at The Doctor.

"She tore open the Heart of the TARDIS." Said The Doctor, hauling the panel, "She didn't know what she was doing, so she went with the most desperate measure she could think of. The TARDIS tuned into her thoughts and took her to when and where I was, surrounded by Daleks."

"And?" Asked Braxiatel, looking at The Doctor.

"And she destroyed them, turned them to dust. But that's the thing, she became a god and it was killing her." Said the Doctor, "So I had to absorb it from her and, well, here I am."

"Must've hurt." Said Omega, looking at the Doctor.

"Oh, it did, like hell." Said the Doctor, as they arrived at where the makeshift console was being built.

"That should be it, thanks." Said The Delta, the clear diamond emitter lighting up red.

The Doctor looked down at his nephew, remembering back to the first days of the Time War, when The Delta lost his family in Ollyouses, Gallifrey's Crystal City. The Doctor cleared those thoughts from his mind and went over to Romana.

"Razak said that he, Drax and Rani have enough stuff now, so I think we can stop." Said The Doctor, looking down at his wife.

"Really?" Asked Romana, The Doctor nodded, "Good, my legs are cramping up."

Romana got to her feet and stretched her legs.

"What do you think is going to happen?" Asked The Doctor, looking around him.

"Flavia, Corsair, Braxiatel and Rani will stay with us, from what I can gather," Said Romana, "Innocet and the Time Tots, Drax and Omega said that they were going to go to different places on Earth, Innocet so she could raise the Tots without having to worry for their lives."

"And Delta?" Asked the Doctor, looking at his nephew.

"He's undecided, he says he might stay, he might go," Said Romana, "I believe it's how he's feeling when we get to earth."

"I need to find a safe place for Luci to go to, while she recovers." Said the Doctor, "Someone I trust, like Brigadier or Sarah Jane."

"When we get back to the TARDIS, we can force he regeneration cycle, only a small portion of her Skarvax was removed, so it should heal." Said Romana, looking over at the unconscious form of her daughter.

"Let's hope so." Said The Doctor, when the Delta yelled.

"Right, we're done." Yelled The Delta, getting to his foot, hopping to stay up right.

The other Time Lords and the one human rushed to the console.

"So, how's this gonna work?" Asked Rose, looking at the Doctor.

"Quite simple really, we use a quantum flux capacitor to cause an arton flow into the TARDIS console and-" Started the Rani, only to be interrupted by Romana.

"We're using some left over power to power the Console." Said Romana, as the Doctor tried and failed to start the console, prompting the TARDIS to touch the console and cause it to take off.

Rose looked around her at the swirling vortex, it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen.

A/N: And they're off, right so the votes are in and Rose will be with The Rani for this story, as per the suggestion of one Reviewer. See you all in the next chapter.
