Voldemort knew that spaces could be charmed to be bigger on the inside than the outside, so he was not surprised when he had first stepped into the TARDIS, but as he stalked through the numerous hallways his frustration grew. This was just ridiculous, how difficult could it be to find the living space of the man who owned this colossal machine? Nothing seemed to stay in its correct space though. He could swear that this TARDIS thing did not like him and was deliberately moving things around. So far he had been on four different floors, seen the library, swimming pool (which happened to be in the library), countless bathrooms, the kitchen, several bedrooms (none of which seemed to belong to this Doctor), and a planetarium.
Lord Voldemort was growing more furious by the moment. First his ridiculous inability to perform magic, and now this horrible search through this machine that he was growing to despise. Unable to do magic like a filthy muggle! It was a disgrace and an embarrassment. Voldemort was going to get back to his own world and then kill all four of those people very painfully.

"First thing's first" proclaimed the doctor "let's go get everyone and deal with these Daleks!" Both Doctors and Donna all got to work flying the TARDIS. Rose just watched. The TARDIS materialized to another part of the crucible to pick up Jack, Jackie, Mickey and Sarah Jane. The TARDIS door flew open and Jackie came running in.
"Rose! Sweatheart, I'm so glad you're okay!"
"I'm fine, Mum." Rose said as the two of them hugged.
"Well hello Miss Tyler, looking better than ever I see." Said Jack as he swept Rose up in a hug as well. "I never thought I'd see you again." He said to her, then he broke away and approached the two Doctors. "You really can't guess what this makes me think about."
"Oh I think I can." Said the half human Doctor.
"Yeaaaah . . . me too and I can honestly say I wish I couldn't." Agreed the original Doctor.
"Well let's get a move on everybody, stop dilly dallying we've got a whole lot of universes to save!" interrupted Donna as everyone was getting reacquainted.
"And who are you?" asked Jack as Donna brightened up.
"Well maybe just a little bit more dilly dallying."
"Nope, you were right the first time, we've got to go." Said the half human Doctor as the original interrupted.
"Yes, I agree with me. Lets go! This is Donna, everyone. She is the source of our wonderful biological metacrisis. She touched my hand, grew a new me, etcetera, etcetera. In conclusion I am me, he's half human half time lord with all my memories personality and everything else and she has got everything she used to except now she has the brain of a Time Lord. It's not really terribly complex so let's get going. First stop, back to where we were, I think I have a plan." With that the TARDIS dematerialized with everyone inside.
With the sound of engines, they rematerialized back in the vault. The Doctor jumped out and stared fooling around with the controls. "I think" he said "maybe if I have a few hours I can figure out how to . . . hmmm . . . maybe . . ." he looked back up at everyone. "If I can figure out these controls I could tow us out of here with the assistance of Miss Sarah Jane Smith's wonderful supercomputer but trap the Daleks in the Medusa Cascade."
The other Doctor had been quiet throughout the entire speech suddenly reacted. Rushing up from where he was standing next to Donna. He grabbed the controls, "I'm going to end this." He said and pushed a few buttons.
"What are you doing?" shouted the Doctor as he ran over to his half human self.
"Don't you see? Even without Davros and without the reality bomb, a Dalek fleet this large could take over the entire universe!"
"Which is why I was trapping them in their own hiding space!"
"If we can manage a way out, do you think that the Daleks were just going to stay trapped here for all eternity? It's done, I did what I had to." The other Doctor said as the room began to show signs of what he had done. Machinery catching on fire, explosions could be heard from far away.
"Get in the TARDIS" snarled the original Doctor, "Now! Everyone in, we have to leave. I'll deal with you later." He said as they took off towing the Earth and the other planets back to their rightful places in the universe.

Everyone was returned to their rightful place and the Doctor was alone again. Jack went back to his team, bringing Mickey along with him. Sarah Jane ran of to find her son. Rose went back to her universe, taking part of him along with her, the him he wished he could be. But that him needed her more, he was still full of fire and blood and anger and he needed her to help him. Donna had been the last and the hardest. His best friend, and now she didn't remember him. The Doctor thought about Donna and remembered, with a shock, what had done this to her. Voldemort. He had hit her with a spell, jump started her Time Lord brain which had doomed her. He was still on the ship, wandering around probably lost getting up to god knows what. He had to be dealt with. The Doctor was determined.
"Well old girl" he said to the TARDIS, pulling a lever and starting the engines "looks like I almost forgot about him in all of the confusion. We're going back to Cardiff, I'm going to need some help with this one."
Hello readers! I realize I have not updated since August and I feel terrible about that but school is my top priority. Junior year of college is really important for my major and I barely had time to read fanficiton let alone write it. I hope you all enjoy this chapter because I am really trying to move the plot along.
Thanks to everyone who reviews or puts me on alert or favorites or anything, it really helps me a lot.
I'm going to try to write more over the winter break, but I can't make any promises.
