Doctor Who
And
The Gift of Anubis Part 3
The moon shined over the palace, the torches illuminating the darkness. The Doctor walked over the pathway toward the throne room. His mind raced, wondering why a dalek would be civil. But then again, he thought, deception is second nature to them. His mind took him back to Canary Wharf, and the thousand's lost on that day, and he swore to himself he would blow up the Tardis before he let that happen again.
"HEY MISTER!" A small voice yelled.
The Doctor turned and saw that Anubia was carrying the little girl he healed earlier.
"She wants to thank her savior." Anubia said, still with Rose's voice unnerving him.
"My name is Jasmine. Thank you for saving me." The little one said.
"Oh, you're very welcome!" The Doctor said with a wink.
"Can you walk, Jasmine?" Anubia asked.
"Yes ma'am." Jasmine said.
"Then you had best get back to your mother and father. Run along!" Anubia said.
"Bye your majesty! Bye Mister!" Jasmine said before running round the corner.
Anubia and The Doctor waved goodbye and The Doctor and Anubia kept walking toward the bath house.
"Doctor, may I ask you something? I'm curious as to why you couldn't go back before the war and stop it from happening." Anubia asked.
"One, it's a fixed moment in time and space. A fixed point is always happening and must always happen the same way. Two, all events that had anything to do with the Time War are Time Locked. Nothing can get into those events, or out from them. A Dalek succeeded, but he was driven insane as a price." The Doctor explained.
"Then how did Talon escape? He says he came from the Time War, a survivor, like Y-" she started.
"That monster is not like me. If he is a survivor, then I have to keep and eye on him." The Doctor shot back.
Anubia was shocked at The Doctor's quick, angered answer. A sorry look came over her face and she looked away from The Doctor.
"Listen, I know you think he's capable of murder. Well we all are capable of that, even you! And you know what? He's been more help than you have so far. So before you judge, remember, he's not the one saying who's a murderer of the universe or a monster." Anubia said loudly then stormed off.
The wind was all that could be heard besides the Doctor's breathing. For the first time since he was with Donna, he felt stupid.
"Open mouth, insert foot you idiot." The Doctor said to himself. "Anubia! Wait!"
She was already in the bath house and drawing water for a bath when the Doctor came in. she wouldn't look at him.
"Look I'm sorry. You're right. I should stop judging and be more helpful." The Doctor said.
Anubia stood up and turned to say "took your humble medicine did you?"
"*sigh* yes I did. Tomorrow I want you to take me to Talon. It's time I started helping." He said.
"Why do you always seem so angry towards others? So alien?" She asked.
"Because I am an alien. I put others off so they won't be in danger of dying around me. My last friend? Donna? I had to wipe her memory of everything we did together because it was killing her. Every person that comes in contact with me always gets hurt in some way. Time lords live far too long and I see that more and more each day."
"In my opinion, you need someone to remind you of your humanity. To remind you of all of the good in you." She said with a smile.
"Heh, Donna said that too. And she was right." The doctor said after taking a seat.
"I am seeing the world in a whole new way." Anubia said with closed eyes.
"Hm?" He said.
"Ever since the transformations started and since Talon showed up, I'm viewing the world as tiny compared to it all out there. Then you show up and make it look even smaller." She said.
The doctor smiled and laid back in the chair looking up at the stars. His mind was still back the Tardis, trying to fix it through mental contact. He didn't notice what was happening right in front of him.
"I wonder if I might be able to" he started. Then he looked and saw her standing naked in front of him, stepping into the bathwater and exhaling in relief.
"Phew! I've been dying for this, especially after you blasted me with sound. I've still got a ringing in my ears. You were saying?" Anubia said.
"Uh...yeah...sorry about that. You were gonna kill me." He cleared his throat and continued. "I wonder if I might be able to...um repair my Tardis. It uh...was damaged in landing here." He stuttered.
"How badly?" She asked nonchalantly.
"Not to bad. Um...she needs a few stitches...like some gold to keep the electrical currents working. And maybe some...oh blimey." He continued to stutter.
"Is my body bothering you Doctor?" She asked.
"No...I mean, I'm just not around freely naked...uh girls..." he stuttered.
"And yet you seem like such the lady's man type" she said slyly.
"Believe me, I'm more the wallflower type." He replied, blushing even more now.
Anubia stands from the tub and her wet fur gleams in the torchlight. She walks over to the Doctor and places a hand on his cheek. Her eyes are so beautiful, the Doctor thought, she is so beautiful.
"Doctor, I...I am so attracted to you. Why?" Anubia said with a shaky voice.
"You're in heat. Your animal side is trying to take over. You might wanna MMPH!" Doctor got out.
He tried to explain, but she dove onto him and knocked his chair backwards then smothered him with kisses. His breath was hers, and he tried to push her away.
"Mmmf! Now hold on! I'm over 900 years old!" Doctor stammered.
"I don't care!!! I need you! TAKE ME NOW!" Anubia shouted in lust.
"Ahhh! Wait a...Mmmf! Minute! Anubia, calm down! You don't wanna do this..." Doctor stammered again.
"Shut up! Yes I do. I wanted you ever since you came here, my wonderful time lord! I love you!" Anubia continued what she was doing as the water from the pool drained and the torches dimmed as Anubia had her way with the Doctor.
THE NEXT MORNING
Faint whiffs of incense filled the Doctor's lungs as he woke up with a headache.
"Ouch! Oh damn my head...uh-oh..."he said as he looked over at the sleeping form of Anubia next to him. Her black, soft, midnight fur shined like a black polished stone.
"Oh Dear..." Doctor said. "Yes dear?" Anubia said, awaking playfully.
"No, no no no no no no! Please tell me we didn't...did we?" The Doctor said. His face was red with embarrassment, and quite a bit of fear.
Anubia sat up and replied, "You act as if it's a bad thing! Calm down Doctor." She stood from the bed and clothed herself.
"Oh god." The doctor said while covering his face. "You don't understand! If your father finds out that I've been snogging his daughter, he'll kill me!"
"No he wont." She said while brushing her hair. "I've already told him of my intentions and he approved. Now get up. You said you wanted to meet Talon and I'm gonna introduce you."
"Oh...oh alright then." The doc said before finding his clothes. He put them on out of sight and slapped himself a couple of times for being a fool. 'You moron!' He thought, 'way to alter history you blooming idiot.'
"Alright. Let's get going. Follow me." Anubia said.
The throne room was empty, save for a few torches lit. Anubia and the doc walked through the throne room over to the throne itself. She press a hidden Hieroglyph, and the throne moved slowly aside to reveal a well lit hidden hall. She motioned to the Doctor to go first and he did so carefully. The hall was adorned with a history of the transformations, as the doctor could tell. They numbered well over a couple thousand now. 'If they are this many, I wonder if I can change them back at all?' He thought. The room became wider and wider until it led to a familiar site. The silhouette of a white police box was illuminated by the torches.
"What? But...WHAT?! What kind of a joke? What did you do to my Tardis?!" The doc said.
"ITS MINE."
The doctor turned to see a large white dalek scroll up to him and look at him with a green eye.
"HELLO DOCTOR!" Talon said with a cheery voice. "I FINALLY GET TO MEET THE LEGEND OF GALLIFREY! OH THIS IS AN HONOR. NOW FIRST THINGS FIRST, I NEED YOU TO OPEN THIS BLASTED SHELL. I'VE BEEN TRAPPED INSIDE THIS THING SINCE THE DALEKS LOCKED ME IN HERE, THE JERKS."
"What the hell..." the doc said with wonder, "Who are you? Oh Talon right?"
"WELL, HALF RIGHT. I'M NOT A DALEK. TALON IS A NAME I WAS KNOWN BY ON GALLIFREY, BUT I WAS KNOW AS 'THE TALON OF RASSILON'. SORRY ANUBIA, I DIDN'T WANT TO LIE, BUT I NEEDED YOU TO MAKE A TEMPORAL LINK TO BRING THE DOCTOR HERE. I'M NO DALEK, I'M A TIME LORD. THE DALEKS CAPTURED ME AND LOCKED ME IN THIS DAMNED THING AND SAID ONLY A TIME LORD COULD RELEASE ME. I THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS LOST WHEN I SAW GALLIFREY DESTROYED. BUT THEN MY SENSORS FOUND TRACES OF YOUR TARDIS SURVIVING THE BLAST!"
"What...AHA! Like I should believe you. Deception is second nature to you!" The doctor laughed.
"I AM A TIME LORD. I SAVED YOUR SORRY BUTT ON THE SLOPES OF MOUNT PERDITION WHEN YOU FACED THE NIGHTMARE CHILD REMEMBER? NOW WHEN YOU OPEN THIS THING, YOU TWO MIGHT WANT TO STEP BACK. I'VE BEEN IN THIS THING FOR OVER A MILLENNIA AND I NEED TO REGENERATE." Talon said.
"No...Matthias?" The doctor gasped.
"AND HE FINALLY CATCHES UP! NOW GET ME THE HELL OUT OF THIS THING!" Matthias shouted.
The doctor looks a the prison before him. Anubia takes his hand and nods at him. The doctor sighs then takes out his sonic screwdriver and points it at the dalek form in front him then emits a high pitched squeal. The dalek shakes then disintegrates from around Matthias, revealing an old grizzled ferret with Grey fur with scars all over his chest. His eyes are a faded green and the fur is overgrown to where it's covering every extremity. His claws are long and yellow with age.
"Oh my gods!" Anubia gasped.
"I can't believe it's you! I heard you were dead! The nightmare child ate you!" The doctor said with a strange smile.
The ferret's voice was old and raspy: "well as they say my dear doctor, news of my death has been greatly exaggerated...AGH!
The ferret doubles over in pain and begins to glow. He smiles at the doctor, then begins to hover in the air. His body then explodes in golden light. His long Grey fur is replaced by brown fur, hit claws, receding to normal length. His ears are tipped with black on one ear and white on the other. From his backside, two tails swirl against each other and take form, both tipped with one black tip and the other white. His back has two wing like patterns, one black, one white. The old grizzled voice is replaced by a delicate, light voice. He then screams in pain.
"NGGGGGGHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AHH! AH! AH! Hot hot hot hot hot! Fur burning here! Ow! Ow Ow!" He shouts while rubbing his body. Golden dust flies from the places he's rubbing, and he finally relaxes.
"What in the ancients' name just happened?" Anubia asked with a scared voice.
"Anubia, you just witnessed a full on regeneration of a time lord. I present The Talon Of Rassilon, Matthias Reign." The doc says with a look of amazement. Matthias looks over at the doctor and smiles, "WOO! Blimey! Mom was right. 2nd regeneration does hurt! Now, one sec...eyes? How do they look?"
"One's blue and one's green." The doctor answered
"Eyes check. Nose? Good god look at my muzzle! HA! Ears...delightfully fluffy! Arms...strong! Hands...cool! Legs and feet! (does a backflip) excellent! Hair...(pulls at his now shoulder length brown locks) long hair for once! Tails!....wait a sec Tails?! HA! I've got TWO now! That's a new one. And YOU! Come here!" Matthias shouts.
He runs up and Hugs the doctor. The doc cocks an eyebrow and smiles sheepishly and Anubia while she stifles a laugh.
"Oh you lovely old man! You set me free!" Matthias shouts with glee then pulls away, "OH MY GOD! Listen to me! My voice sound so...angelic!"
The white Tardis lights up, its light on the roof shining so bright it illuminates the entire corridor. It makes the familiar wheezing sound then its lock clicks open. Matthias turns to see it and he runs at it and hugs it.
"Oh you gorgeous old piece old firewood did you miss me? I missed you!" He opens it and motions for the doc and Anubia to go inside and they follow him, still stifling laughs and giggles. The doors open and lead into a Wide room, who's walls are adorned with a silver staircase ramp. The controls are on the wall up and down the staircase ramp, its viewscreens spread up and down the chamber. There's a small indentation inside the ramp that extends all the way up to a shining light on the ceiling. Looking down, elevators are seen going up and down to different floors and rooms. Laughter can be heard above, and Matthias comes spinning down the ramp in a purple 1840's living room chair.
"Isn't she beautiful! She's just how she kept herself the good girl. Okay you two what's the joke?" Matthias laughs.
"For a time lord, you are a dimwit!" Anubia laughs out loud.
"Your naked!" The doc shouts then breaks down in laughter. "Hm?" (Matthias looks down and panics then presses a button and hitches an elevator down out of sight.)
"Amazing, it's like a palace! Everything is so beautiful." Anubia marveled.
"Yes he was always the one for extravagance. He modeled this place after his home on Gallifrey, so he could take his wife and daughter with him on missions for Rassilon." The doctor looked up and pointed at the light in the ceiling that looked like swirling mists.
"See that? That this Tardis's heart. The very thing that makes this Tardis his." He looked at her and smiled.
She looked up at it and grinned.
"HI GUYS!" Matthias shouted. The doctor and Anubia turned and saw Matthias standing on the ledge, now smartly dressed. He wore black dress pants adorned with Gallifreyan runes, leaving his footpaws bare. He also wore a white vest with purple floral patterns, the buttons golden. Underneath, the black shirt was silk, complete with a western gentleman's tie. He pulled from his vest pocket a silver duster, also adorned with Gallifreyan runes on the tail and the shoulders, culminating into wing patterns on the back. His hair was tied in a pony tail.
"Wow..." Anubia whispered.
"Same old Matti. Now we need to talk. Are you the one transforming everyone here in Egypt?" The doctor asked.
"No Doctor, but I can tell you who is. You suspected Dalek treachery? You were correct." Matthias explains. He then activates the Tardis and sets it in motion. "When I landed here after I fell through a black hole, I noticed the changes after about a year and a half. I then sent a message to the pharaoh, offering my help. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't change them back. Something was altering them on the molecular level, and I found this biological signature."
A figurehead appears on the screen. A deformed head, with a red eye in the forehead.
"Sorvad. Davros' son is here and he's changing these people for some experiment. I don't know what unfortunately, so that's why I had anubia draw Your Tardis here. This is way out of my league." Matthias said with a frown.
"Bring up Anubia's DNA." The Doc said.
Matt does so and Anubia's DNA flashes onto the screen.
"This is the before image, and this is the after." Matti said
The doc puts on his specs and types in some commands and the DNA flashes and an alarm sounds.
"Oh no. it's not possible. He's infused the transformed people's DNA with unactivated Zed Neutrino energy." The doc says.
"Doctor if he's infused this many, he could erase history. We have to stop him!" Matti said with a horrified look.
"My sentiments exactly! Take her back to the palace, Matt! Park her next to mine, I need repairs and its gonna take two Tardises to do the job!" The doctor shouted, jumping into a descending elevator.
"Aye Aye Captain!" Matt shouts.
"What's going on?" Anubia Asked.
"I think we found a way to fix you!" Matti smiled.
Anubia smiled back and said "You look better." "Why thank you your majesty!" Matti replied.
BACK AT THE PALACE
Hamenthotep was walking toward the Doctor's Tardis when the wind picked up and started blowing. A bright light shined as the White Tardis Came into existence just across from the Doctor's on the same balcony.
"What in the gods' name?" Hamenthotep shouted in surprise.
The doors bursted open and the Doctor ran out to meet the wayward Pharaoh.
"Ah Hamenthotep! Listen Talon was actually a Time Lord, but we still face a Dalek threat and possibly the annihilation of history as we know it. Nod if you understand!" The doctor said very fast.
The Pharaoh Nodded.
"Okay, but the good news, is we may have found a way to reverse the transformations done to you people, your daughter, and save the whole of history! But we need to be left to work. Nod if still understand."
The Pharaoh nodded again.
"Also we'll need a few guards with wheel barrels to give us whatever we need and doubly quick. You still with me?"
The Pharaoh nodded yet again then summoned guards. The doctor then opened his Tardis' doors. The still stunned pharaoh walked into the white Tardis and saw a brown furred fellow standing next to his daughter.
"Talon? Is that you?" Hamenthotep asked.
Matti turned and said, "It's Matthias actually. A pleasure to meet you face to face finally."
They shook hands and the pharaoh laughed a little and looked about the new Tardis.
"You time lords never cease to amaze! My word!" He said happily.
A FEW HOURS LATER
"Yes now plug that on into the polarity control..." the doctor said. "Got it." Matti answered. There was a loud beep.
"Now turn the Static Matrix back to 678.654 gigawatts exactly..." the doc said.
"Okay doc, its even. Now run over to your Tardis and pump the Helmic Regulator a few times to see if the readings stay the same." Matti said.
The doc does so and pumps it. In the White Tardis, the lights flicker, then Matti takes a wrench and bangs on the console. The light return to normal, and the viewscreen reads: All Systems Synced.
"Alright! We're in Sync now." Matty shouted over.
"Hey workaholics! I've got some food!" Anubia called.
The doc and I meet outside, and shake hands. Anubia sits the food on the table and sits down with us.
"Hey Matthias what exactly are you? Animal wise I mean." The doc said before trying a fruit. "Oh blimey that's good!"
"Well from what my Tardis told me, I'm a ferret Wolf hybrid this time around. Ferwolf...yup sounds about right. MM! Oh wow these are good! Thanks Anubia!" Matty said with a smile.
"No problem. I want to tell you guys something. The other night, I couldn't stop throwing up. I think I'm pregnant." She said before hiding her face.
The doctor spit out his fruit and almost choked.
"Why does that surprise you doc?" Matty said then takes a drink.
"Because the baby has his DNA." Anubia explained.
This time Matty spits out his drink and does choke.
(cough cough) "What?!" I gag.
"It's true. Somehow I ended up in bed with her and...Anubia are you sure?" The doc says then pulls out the sonic screwdriver and confirms it. "She's right. It's mine."
"Oh blimey." I said.
A loud rumbling shakes the palace and green lights cover the grounds.
The doc, Anubia and Matty exchange looks and see round bronze ships fill the air. Loud soulless voices shouting "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" fill the night air.
TO BE CONCLUDED!
