I'm really not happy with this chapter, but I just realised that: a) You probably don't care, b) I actually like the ending, c) I just FINISHED THIS STORY, and d)If I didn't finish it now, then I never would.

Just please don't die of shock when you realise that I did just update and FINISH this fic. Yes, you heard me: FINISHED!

Anyway, enjoy!


Dalek Sec was not amused. And he wasn't about to become the nice guy.

"You will cease this action at once Time Lord! Or your friends will be exterminated!"

Rose stopped struggling in Jack's arms as she realised that they were completely surrounded. The rest of the Cult was all around them, and aiming their blasters at their targets.

"Uhhhh.. Doc? Little help would be greatly appreciated here right now!" Jack pleaded with the over excited Time Lord. The Doctor apparently took no notice, choosing instead to start singing an opera that none of them had ever heard of.

Jack cocked his head. It appeared that help was not forthcoming.

"Thanks for all the help, Doctor." Rose growled, as Ianto held his head in his hands and Gwen rolled her eyes.

"So be it!" Sec rolled towards them. "The Doctor has made his choice, and you will give your lives because of his decision!"

"Blueberries!!!!" The Doctor cried, apparently at random, startling all who heard. All except one. The fur ball almost literally flew across the room, latching onto Sec's eyestalk.

"Harry?!" Rose gasped, watching as the small hamster clung onto the killing machine, the Sonic Screwdriver skittering across the floor towards the Doctor, although he didn't seem to be in the mood for picking it up.

The other Daleks of the Cult rolled backwards slightly, seeming confused at exactly what was attacking them.

The humans took their chance. They immediately bolted, all shooting off in different directions, getting out from their less favourable position.

Jack and Ianto spread out to the right, while Rose and Gwen split apart; Gwen moving over to the corners of the room to recover their lost weapons, while Rose rushed to be close to the Doctor.

He didn't appear to even notice her arriving, his eyes rolling madly in their sockets, an uncharacteristically insane laugh echoing around the bare walls, squirming on the floor, apparently with no control over himself.

"Doctor, can you hear me?" She pleaded with him. No response, other then another manic giggle at nothing in particular. "Look at me. Doctor come on, focus on me now." She took his face in her hands, trying to force him to look at her. It didn't achieve much, but at least now she could manoeuvre his spasm ridden frame to the shadows behind, out of sight of the miniature battle going on behind them.

Gwen raced over to her team, handing out their weapons. Turning on the Daleks, they began firing, bullets pelting into their strong armours. But the bullets didn't even leave a scratch. Not a good sign.

Dalek Sec was spinning round and round, but Harry clung on, desperate to defeat the evil pepper pots.

"Rose!" Jack cried, "Get the Doctor outta here! He can't handle this right now. We can!"

Rose nodded, turning back to the incapacitated Time Lord.

Who wasn't there.

Oh dear.

"Jack! He's gone!" But Jack didn't hear her. He was busy shooting at the other Dalek's eyestalks. Caan's was already broken, and now he rolled around like a lost puppy, screaming death threats and revenge. Jast's soon followed, as did Thay's, leaving only Sec's, which Harry was currently occupying.

The hamster squealed loudly, as a now blinded Caan blundered unseeing into Sec, the latter was shooting his laser at everything within reach, but try as he may, he couldn't get a shot at the humans. They had grabbed hold of a Cult member each and were riding them as they swivelled around and rolled in random directions.

Harry ran along Sec's casing, coming finally to rest upon the Dalek's blaster. He looked up at the eyestalk that was now facing him, squeaked, opened his mouth wide and bit down hard on the blaster. The metal broke with ease, splitting all the way down its length like a banana.

Harry jumped to the floor, scampering over to where the Doctor had been, but wasn't any longer, and disappearing into the shadows. Sec tried to shoot at the escaping fur ball, but the mutilated tube made a sound like a rapidly deflating balloon, sparked, and exploded.

Jack, Ianto and Gwen each got off their respective Daleks and ran to stand beside Rose, who was still searching the darkness for some sign of her Time Lord, without any luck.

"Where is he?" Ianto breathed, still firing at the Cult.

"I don't know!" She yelled back. No sooner had she answered, then the Doctor charged out of the darkness, Harry on his shoulder, and the Sonic Screwdriver out in front of him. When had he picked that up?

"Heheheheheheheeeeee!" The Doctor laughed as he ran towards the Cult, pressing the button on the screwdriver as the tip glowed a bright blue. Harry squeaked loudly as the Daleks all ground to a halt, groaning, their casing creaking. Eventually, they were all still. The Doctor jumped up and down on the spot, humming "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. Harry was busy apparently making a nest in the Doctor's hair.

Rose crept forward, everyone else following her. She half ran over to the Doctor, even as Torchwood stalked over to inspect the Dalek's.

"Doctor?" He didn't reply, just stared at her and giggled. She eased the Sonic Screwdriver out of his hand.

"What have you done to us, Doctor?" Sec shouted.

"Oh Doc, you really are amazing!" Jack yelled in delight

"What? What's he done?" Gwen asked her leader.

"He just stiffened them all up! They can't move! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Becauseyou'-boy!"

"Doctor! You're still with us!" Rose gasped in delight

"Yeeeeesssssssssssss"

"Well, half with us anyway."

"We are stuck! We cannot move! All because of the Time Lord. "Sec growled. " We will retreat, for not, Doctor, but we will return, and we will be victorious!" With that, all four Dalek's were surrounded by a harsh white-orange light. When it faded, the Cult of Skaro was gone.

"Well. That's that then! We beat them again!" Ianto was very happy. Jack walked over to the Doctor, who was obviously finding it very hard to keep himself in check. Evidently the coffee was still going strong. He whispered something in the Doctor's ear. It seemed to perk the Doctor up anyhow.

"Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah!" He reeled off, and shot out of the door, Harry-lees as the hamster had jumped into Jack's hand before the Time Lord bolted.

"What did you tell him?" Rose questioned him, as they made their way back to the SUV.

"I simply said we'd meet him back at the hub. I told him to take the long route." Jack broke off and started to snigger.

"Define 'long route'"

"He'll meet us at the Hub when he's gone round Cardiff a few times. To give him a chance to get that stuff out of his system."

"How many times?"

"27!"


When they got back to the Hub, the Doctor was waiting for them. But how he got on top of the water tower without attracting a crowd, they would never know.

It appeared that the concoction was not going to give up so easily, so as Ianto went off to go and make drinks, the rest of them locked the Doctor in one of the cells next to Janet until he was in his right mind again. They supplied him with a blanket, as he seemed intent on cuddling something. So intent, in fact, that he had almost squashed Rose to death before Jack had managed to prise him off her.

As the door shut, and the lock bleeped, the Doctor pressed his face up to the glass, palms beside his ears, smiling dumbly at them, though his eyes spoke of sadness at being left alone in the cells with a flesh eating Weevil next door.

But they did leave him. So he amused himself (and the others, through the CCTV) by producing a couple of suction pads from his pocket and climbing all over the walls and ceiling of his prison.

Eventually it seemed that he was free from the effects of the "poison" and collapsed onto the bunk, snoring softly. That was when Rose saw that it was safe to let him out.

As she reached his cell, he jumped off the bunk and ran to the glass, pressing himself against it and pleading with her.

"Rose please let me out! I'm so bored! Janet's good for talking too but the only thing she seems to want to talk about is what I might taste like! It doesn't make for good conversation." Rose simply stared at him. "Rose please! I'm actually begging you! I don't like coffee and it wasn't my fault! Please!" Seeing that this was getting him nowhere, he turned on the puppy eyed look. They both knew she couldn't resist that.

"Oh alright!" She sighed, pressing down on the button that would let him out. As soon as the door opened, the Doctor rushed out, and was up the stairs before she could even ask about how he was talking to Janet.


The Doctor burst into the room.

Then he promptly ran back out again.

The trap was sprung.


The Doctor crouched in the darkness, actually scared for his life. As quietly as he could, he reached a hand into his pocket, and pulled Harry out, placing the little creature in his palm.

"Harry" He whispered "I need someone to talk to! They're trying to kill me!" He looked out of the tiny spy hole he had made with the Sonic Screwdriver. The coast was clear, but that could mean anything.

Harry looked at him quizzically, large round black eyes searching for an answer.

"Harry, they're hunting Daddy. You've got to be very quiet otherwise Daddy'll be in a lot of trouble, OK?"

Harry looked at him for a moment, then he squeaked so loudly that the Doctor thought that the little hamster must've swallowed a fog horn.

"No, no, no, no, no!" The Doctor clamped a hand over the hamster's mouth. But it was too late.

The draw he was currently hiding in was wrenched open and artificial light flooded in, blinding him. He raised one arm to shield his eyes but it was held down beside him. Faces appeared in his sight.

Four of them.

"Hey Doc!" Jack beamed at him "Open wide!" He cooed, as the Doctor's mouth was held open, and the hot brown liquid poured in.

"You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say you enjoyed doing this sort of thing to him, Jack Harkness." Rose pondered.

"What ever made you say that?" He asked mock innocence, as he unleashed the Doctor on an unsuspecting Cardiff city centre.


Goodbye from this fic, and thanks for sticking with it to the end everybody!

I think it's only just sunk in. I think I've just realised that I don't have to write this anymore......................................... Wow.

As I always say: Reviewers get banana's! ;)
