Chapter four has been altered if you haven't read it. Don't own RWBY or Doctor Who.
"After I left the TARDIS, "She replied.
The Doctor leaned against a table edge and rubbed his chinned before saying, " Well, after you stopped travelling with me, I travelled with a couple of old friends you should remember me telling you or meeting Jamie and Leela; I had a couple of adventures with them and they returned to their lives."
"Why?" Ace asked with curiosity.
The Doctor chuckled, "Jamie was pushing 65 while Leela was pushing 300. Old age gets the best of us. Well to contradict what I just said I am over two millennia old."
"2000 years!, "Ace exclaimed, "Doctor, you were only 750 when we parted."
Still clinging to the outside of the tower, Team RWBY were baffled. Jaune is over 2000 years old and he used to know Nora, this made no sense; They carried on listening to the conversation.
"I travelled by myself for a while after that, "The Doctor continued, "Then by some random sequence of events, Missy was to be executed."
"Good riddance, "She replied, "Sorry Doc but she was a bitch she tried to kill twice, she tried to kill the ones before me who travelled with you and she did kill you."
"She didn't kill me," He quickly answered, "I just fell from a height trying to stop her. Any who, her final wish was for me to transport her remains back to Gallifrey. I did so, but it didn't go to plan. She somehow survived using a power she learnt on the Cheetah planet."
"Hate that place."
"Don't interrupt, the TARDIS's console exploded in fire; I performed an emergency landing, which was Earth. I walked outside the TARDIS and I was shot by a gang."
"Which triggered your regeneration"
"Yes and no. I was taken to a hospital and I was operated on, the anaesthesia almost destroyed the regenerative process that being said, I was dead for the first time in my many lives. Cut a long story, saved the world again, technically fell in love and carried on my journey back to Gallifrey."
"Why don't I think that work?"
"The TARDIS started to stutter as I entered the Time Vortex, so I had to perform another emergency landing but I didn't land on Earth I landed here."
"Remnant?"
"Yes, I remember that day very clearly"
Flashback
The TARDIS console was bursting with fire. The eighth Doctor was running about trying to safely control the old girl.
"Come on dear, "he said with love and care, "Work with me please."
The TARDIS seemed to respond to the Doctor's plea as she came to a crashing and blundering stop. The Doctor fell to the ground suddenly as one of the pillars around the console crumbled, narrowly avoiding him.
"Ow, "he said rubbing his shoulder, "Thank you, now then time to switch up the console rooms."
The Doctor flicked and pressed buttons on a section of the console and then walked to the doors of the TARDIS, "I'll be back soon."
The TARDIS croaked and groaned; With this, the Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS and into the light.
He looked around and realised he was in a forest. From the wind patterns, tree types, feel of the sun and the smell of the air the Doctor figured out he was on Remnant. His mood perked up and decided to test his new shoes so he started to run in a random direction.
"Woo-hoo!"
His new regeneration was young, fit and ran really quickly; He kept on running for what seemed an age, he stopped when he came to a village. The Doctor looked down at himself and quickly smelled himself, no scent of sweat. He quickly checked his pockets and found he had no lien but he had a bag of small jewels.
"Brilliant, "he said to himself, "time to eat."
He walked into the village and found a local inn that does lunch; He entered the inn and was hit by the ancient scent of the wood that made up the chairs and tables. The inn was busy, he sat at a table behind a young team of huntsman and huntresses and could help but over hear them.
"Here's the plan," the hooded girl said, "we enter that lair again. Me and you two we attacked it at range while Tai goes in behind it and does some close combat damage; That way it won't come for this village."
"Summer that won't work," The blacked haired women replied rubbing her head, "we have tried to destroy that creature twice now. What ever it is, it must be magic."
"Magic hasn't existed on Remnant for a thousand years, sis, "Her brother remarked, "and why do you think it has something to do with magic Raven?"
Raven was about to reply when she the Doctor looking at them with curiosity, "Can I help you?"
"No," he replied with a simple smile, "Hello, i'm the Doctor, I was just listening about this creature. Can you draw it?"
"Why?"
"I may be able to identify it."
"Tai, Qrow, "Summer began, "either of you two have any paper."
"No, "Tai relied, "But Qrow does."
"I don't"
"That women gave you her scroll number," Tai answered back, "Missy was it?"
"Let me guess, "The Doctor butted in, "Black hair, piercing red eyes, flowing crimson dress with a cape made of shadows or something similar?"
"Yes you know her, "Qrow asked.
"We are best enemies," he replied, "forgetting about that for the time being. Can you draw the picture?"
The four of them were about to argue but saw the Doctors eye, they were laced with worry; With this, Raven quickly sketched the creature she passed it to the Doctor. He looked at and released what it was.
"Oh no, "he said.
"What is it?" Summer asked.
"You are all students right, "the Doctor asked and received nods from the four of them, "Call Ozpin tell him, protocol enigma nine. Where was your mission taking place?"
"About a 20 minute walk in that direction, "Qrow said pointing in the direction the Doctor dreaded.
"Call Ozpin now, "he stated, "If they get the TARDIS they'll know about this planet and her!"
All they heard was TARDIS and the Doctor was out of the door.
"He will need help, "Summer said as she stood while Raven grabbed her wrist.
"Protocol enigma nine, "Raven began, " isn't that alien incursion?"
"Damn, "She replied, "called Ozpin now i'll catch up with the Doctor."
Summer had already engaged her semblance and was out of the door before her team could reply.
"You don't think that Doctor was the one Ozpin went on about?" Tai asked Qrow and Raven.
The Doctor
The Doctor was already halfway back to the TARDIS when an energy blast almost hit him; He turned his head to see a Cyberman (Earthshock verison) aiming his blaster at him. The Doctor aimed his sonic at the blaster which caused it to short circuit.
"This is Cyber unit 0-93, "The Cyberman spoke in a deep voice," A sonic device was detected, the..."
The Cyberman was interrupted as its head was spilt down the middle, as the Cyberman fell to ground, to reveal Summer standing behind it.
"Oh of course", The Doctor said as he jogged over," Ozpin sent you and your team here."
"Yes he did", Summer replied as she held her Scythe over her shoulders," Raven remembered what the code meant. Annoyingly, Ozpin didn't inform us of the different alien species in the universe."
"Summer!", A voice shouted.
The Doctor and Summer turned their heads to see Qrow, Raven and Tai running towards them. They were all red in the face, they had ran at an increased speed.
Tai was panting," We.. told.. Oz.."
"Let me guess you described the creature, told him about and he said find me and Summer as the fate of this world is in our five palms."
"Yea," Qrow was he stood up normally with a bit of colour in his face.
"So what are these creatures?" Raven asked as her breathing returned to normal.
"They are Cybermen", The Doctor informed, "originally from the planet Mondas; Cybermen are you lot well close enough humanoids, the next stage of human evolution from their point of view. When they convert humans they chop them up and use a select few pieces, a piece always used is the brain."
"Wouldn't they be in pain?," Summer asked as she tighten her gripped on her weapon.
"Emotional inhibitor, the pain is suppressed and they become one with the cyber hive mind. We can't let the Cybermen convert a human from Remnant; If they can control your Semblance's and Aura's and somehow keep control of it, they'll be nearly unstoppable."
"Who is the woman?", Tai asked while looking at Qrow," Missy."
"A fellow renegade from Gallifrey."
"Whats Gallifrey?" Raven quizzed.
"The planet me and Missy are from, i'm a Timelord while she is a Timelady." The Doctor with a sly smile at the young team wore shocked faces," She is either a past incarnation or one from the future."
"Not the present?" Tai asked.
"No she is currently trapped."
"Where?" Summer asked.
"In the TARDIS", The Doctor replied.
"TARDIS?", Qrow asked.
"I'll show you.", The Doctor stated as they heard a massive explosion where they were heading," Come on, I know who just stopped the Cybermen."
The Doctor began to walk in the direction of the TARDIS.
"Who did and why should we follow you?" Summer asked as she rested her hands on her waist.
The Doctor stopped and turned," We were the ones who just stopped and the Cybermen. The reason you all will follow is simply put, if you know about the Protocol's then you know of the Relics and the Maidens. So are you coming?"
Inside the TARDIS (Ninth and Tenth TARDIS design)
"I like the desktop,"The Doctor said as he commented the new desktop,"Come on you alot."
Team STRQ were shocked and surprised as they stood at the entrance; The blue box they had entered was in fact bigger on the inside.
"What the hell?," Qrow said as he walked up the gangway.
"TARDIS,"The Doctor informed once more, "Her initials stand for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Come in and close the doors behind you please."
Tai was the last one in so he closed the doors. As soon as this was done the Doctor flicked a few switches and turned a few knobs.
"Hold on," He said as the TARDIS groaned with life.
The TARDIS began to rattle and bounce about.
"This is new,"The Doctor commented, "The old girl has never been like this hold on to something."
Qrow was holding onto the console for dear life, Raven was holding one of the gangway's railings while Summer and Tai holding each other while pressing their backs onto the doors of the TARDIS.
"Qrow hold that steady!"
"What is it?"
"I don't know but it looks important!"
Qrow did as the Doctor asked and kept the handle steady.
"Landing in 3,2,1!,"The Doctor roared.
The TARDIS came to crashing stop. The Doctor and Raven kept their balance as while Qrow landed on the console and Tai and Summer fell backwards out of the doors. Tai landed first with Summer landing on him.
"Are you alright?," Tai asked looking into her eyes.
"Yea," She replied looking into his eyes.
They were about to kiss when they heard a cough; They turned their heads to see Qrow, Raven and The Doctor looking at them.
"Can you two put the kissing each other on the back burner,"The Doctor began," you know until we save the day!?. (At this point, Raven and Qrow are trying not laugh) Now then, I took us about 40 minutes before I arrived on Remnant."
"We've time travelled I don't...," Qrow began before hearing the impossible.
In the distance, Team STRQ could here the words they hard already spoken running away from the place they had tried to stop.
"That's impossible,"Raven said as she could just make their younger selves out in the distance.
The Doctor turned to face and simply said," Nothing is impossible, its only impossible if we think it is."
"So whats the plan?" Tai asked as he and Summer stood up.
The Doctor pulled from his coat strips of a substance the others had never seen.
"The Cybermen have two weaknesses," He informed," Cleaning fluid and this, gold. Push or punch the gold into a Cyberman's chest piece to disable them, if they have a blaster grab it and use it instead. For some reason they use gold in their weapons, I should really look into it at some point."
Present day
"So what happened?" Ace asked as she passed the Doctor a small cylinder.
While the Doctor was talking to Ace he started to repair his screwdriver and was nearly done.
"The five of us stopped the Cybermen," the Doctor replied as he took the cylinder,"I didn't find Missy though so I don't know if she was from the past or future. Afterwards I planned to drop them off here but, the TARDIS had other plans. It was the fourth attempt that got them back."
"Where did you go?" Ace inquired.
"The first attempt took us to 1499 London where we met William Shakespeare since they didn't know about him I told them about him and they were intrigued," the Doctor started as he welded on a piece of metal to the sonic," the six of us stopped a coven of Carrionites. The second attempt saw us trying to save a space station from the terror of the Vashta Nerada. The third attempt was Skaro."
The Doctor said Skaro with such hatred in his voice that it made Team RWBY feel somewhat scared. The person who called himself Jaune Smith was in truth a being called the Doctor who knew team STRQ in their youth. They looked at each other as Ace began to speak.
"How did they fair against the Daleks?" Ace asked.
"They weren't even twenty Ace," the Doctor began," in their lives they had thought the only threat was Grimm, they didn't know of any aliens. Since meeting me, they battled the Cybermen, Carrionites and Vashta Nerada but, it was the Daleks that finally made them realise the Grimm were the bottom of the food chain. When we got back to Beacon they needed time to process what had happened. I left Remnant had a few travels with some old friends while making a couple of new ones. After 25 years from my perspective, I returned to Remnant about a month after returning them."
"What happened?" Ace asked.
The Doctor chuckled," After what happened they wanted to see the universe so Ozpin made them an offer, for the rest of the academy year that I would take them as my students to better understand the universe and the Grimm when they didn't have classes of course."
"When did you tell them about her?" Ace quizzed.
The Doctor sighed," I told them about Salem as soon as we stood outside Ozpin's office. They were next generation of defenders of this planet. I told them of Salem, the Relics, the Maidens, who Ozpin was and Summer's true power. She had... no she has silver eyes, when she channels her emotions for her family she can unleash an almighty light that eradicates all Grimm within a certain radius."
"What did you mean 'had no she has'?," Ace asked.
"Team STRQ, " the Doctor began," I have travelled with so many companions, friends and assistants. But Summer, Tai, Raven and Qrow they are among the few, like you, I ended up calling family. I ended up having so many adventures with them either just one of them all the way up to the four of them. It all changed one day. The day I got Summer killed."
Yang and Ruby wanted to kill him, they were about to when their partners held them back as they heard Nora asked "What happened?"
(Only reason the Doctor tells Ace is the fact of how much lying and manipulation he had to do to her to defeat Fenric) "She and Tai had just had a fight," The Doctor started as he screwed in a bulb onto the top of his screwdriver," I picked her she didn't want to talk about. The TARDIS picked up a distress beacon, we went to help. It was a spaceship, we were there for a while when we discovered the fault. The engine core had spilt open and was pouring out Chem-7 energy."
"Chem-7 that kills you dead Doctor no regeneration," Ace interrupted.
"Yes it would have," he replied," but you know I will give my life to save those I care for. I gave Summer a homing beacon, the TARDIS would have been taken to Gallifrey and Romana would have gotten her home. She protested saying she will do it and said no. If Summer went in and sealed the crack, the remaining Chem-7 energy would implode thus taking her instead. I saw the look in her eyes, I wasn't quick enough to stop her."
His voice got sadder. Weiss and Blake let go of their partners when they felt them relax.
Flashback
The Doctor was trying to open the door with the sonic but couldn't.
"Sorry old friend," Summer said from the otherside of the door," Deadlocked."
"Summer don't do this!" The Doctor begged as there was a bright light.
Present
"After telling Tai, Qrow and Raven I left," the Doctor stated with regret," I stopped taking companions and just travelled alone for a while, then the war started."
"What war?," Ace asked with concern.
The Doctor turned to face," The Last Great Time War, the final battle for the sake of creation between the Timelords and the Daleks. At first, I refused to fight and helped where I could but, I couldn't escape. It was the planet Karn where I was finally convinced to fight, it was on that dark night that I broke my promise of the Doctor and took the mantle of the Warrior. After all, I am not innocent. I've taken lives but as you know I got clever, I manipulated others to take there own. Never again, with the war over, I plan on saving Summer and when I have the plan, I will reveal the truth to Ruby and Yang."
"How you can't get involved in established events the first of law time?"
"Ace, the Doctor began," When I find the TARDIS I plan on assembling the Key of Time."
"You can't," Ace replied in shock," Doctor, you plan on using an artefact that is scatter across the entirety of space and time. Don't you need a space-time locator for the segments?"
"An eternal gave me one long ago," the Doctor answered," Ha finished and don't forget the TARDIS must be found!"
The Doctor picked up the sonic screwdriver and switched it on. (11th Doctors design) the green buzzed with energy as the hilt seem to fit perfectly in his hands. The Doctor placed it in one of his pockets as well as a few parts left on the workbench," You never know. Come on Ace we have work to do. Only when Summer Rose is back and safe I reveal the truth to Yang and Ruby."
The pair of friends who had fought Daleks and Cybermen left the workshop discussing where on the planet the TARDIS could be.
Team RWBY climbed back through the window. They didn't what to do. Ruby walked over to where the Doctor stood.
"So let me get this straight," Weiss began," Jaune Smith is in fact an alien from a race of people called Timelords and he is called the Doctor. He knew your parent's and was their friend."
Blake nodded.
"He got Summer killed," Yang said with a building hate.
Ruby still looking at where the Doctor rebuilt the sonic," He lied. When I found that article, it was him but his face was different."
Blake chimed in," Maybe his race can change their body if they are close to dying. Ruby, Yang you got to remember he was ready to give his life to save those people, it sounded like he begged Summer to get out so he could he could take her place."
Yang started to calm down," Are we forgetting the fact that Nora seems to be a woman called Ace. How come they didn't recognise each other, is it possible she is an old friend who was brought back to life?"
"He spoke as Ozpin was an old friend," Blake informed," as in he has been around for long time while he goes about the universe in, what was it a TARDIS."
Ruby simply put," He said will reveal himself to us when he can save Mom. I still strangely trust as he lied but lied not to get our hopes up Yang. We must be patient."
With that Ruby lead her team to breakfast and mull over what will happen over the next few months and possible years.
