The being began to rape him! "AHHH! NO!" Jeremy had been raped before but not by a creature made from the flesh of others, the flesh which now stank and melded to a core interior quite unlike any other human body in the world. "NO! STOP IT! STOP!" Flesh in the wrong places, ribs sticking out and in, heart beating irregularly, and a patchwork body. The sizzling feeling of a fireworks burned on Jeremy's skin as it touched him. He felt the penis of two men enter his anus and throb inside. He gasped as his anus seemed too small for the tumescence of the creature's hybrid penis. As he reeled upward in pain, the monster's arms held his shoulders down and he thought, "Could this thing actually cum inside him?" A thrust from the hips of the borrowed body shook him down again and his attempt to prop himself up on his arms by pushing down on his hands and stretching upward was lost. He was face down, an impossibly disgusting monster man on his back and holding down his shoulders, the weight of the creature heavier than he remembered, about as tall as he was, now naked and trying to derive DNA from him as well as enter DNA into him. He struggled some more, moving his body to and fro but it was no use. He wondered if the heat from the body would burn his back, his buttocks, his legs or his shoulders. "DON'T DO THIS!" Could this thing even understand what he wanted, that he wanted it to stop? It seemed to when it attacked the bar on the Fourth of July. It could kill him right now but instead, it seemed determined to fuck him as humans fuck. He could tell it was having trouble. He grit his teeth and tried to fight some more but there was no struggling loose or free. It had a grip on him, pinning him to the ground. If he hadn't turned his cheek to dirt, he'd be eating dirt right now. Tears filled his eyes as he felt the penis engulf his interior. The only wetness he felt was his own. Inside and out. Sweat. He gathered this thing had no testosterone. He swallowed hard and started to sob. "Get offa me!" In the modern, wood framed church on the grounds, Adam Leigh put down four children and turned to Joey. "Watch them!" "Where are you going?" "Just watch them!" Adam fled through the huge doors of the modern, flame birch colored church and ran across the path, past small multi colored gardens and towering fern trees and more greenery. When he reached the path that he last saw Jeremy, he scanned the area. People, seemingly in recovery, filled the area. There were others, though, that seemed to not know what was happening at all. He asked a few where the motorcycle maniac was. A few shrugged. One woman with a dog pointed to the woods beyond. Adam ran to the edge of the path and stopped. He saw a cut trail made by the motorcycle. He followed it. "Jeremy?!" He cupped his mouth and yelled, "Jeremy Sumpter? Where are you?" Another quick scan of the left and right woods, made him realize that both the monster and boy were gone. Then he spotted it. A giant seared hole through the metal fence. He managed to get to it and it took him some time. He touched the outer edge of the hole. It was still very hot. Something burned through it. "Doctor's Log. July 5th. 3:34 PM. I needed to make a stop at the cemetery near the Bunkhouse." The black topped parking lot of the Bunkhouse was nearly empty. Two cars filled it. One was Frank's. The other was Bessie. The top was down and a figure lay sprawled on the driver's side. The heat was almost oppressive but the young, healthy blond loved this weather. Absently, he fumbled with his hand under his shirt. Frank, the bar tender walked over to Bessie where Jesse lay in the driver side, it being a British car, on the right side if you faced the steering wheel, seat down. "Oh, hey, Frank." "Cool car, kid." "Thanks." "Where's your friends?" "One's missing and may be prisoner of a monster and the other is in a cemetery." "That the Doctor?" Frank nodded to the green and gray colored cemetery, which was behind and slightly adjacent to the bar. It was about 100 feet away. The Doctor was just a tiny figure to their point of view. They could make out the Doctor talking. Jesse sat up. A large row of neatly planted trees blocked what he was talking to from them. "It's nice that he's paying his respects to the deceased." As he furrowed his brow, Jesse grew suspicious. "No. No one's dead to him. Not really." "Does he often...talk to them?" "What? The Doctor? Talk to the dead? Every day I should imagine." Jesse leaned forward and beeped the horn. The Doctor jumped from the sound and his ...whatever he was doing. He seemed to look at something that was out of sight to Frank and Jesse. Jesse saw the inaction on the Doctor's part so he stood up, held onto Bessie's window frame with his right hand and yelled, "Let's fucking go." The Doctor waved Jesse's impatience off. "C'mon, we gotta go save Jeremy!" Finally, the Doctor came back. "Why this stop?" "I'll explain later." "If only Jeremy had taken one of the cell phones." "Well, he didn't...and in my extensive experience, I've found that cell phones, even highly advanced ones, create more problems than they solve. Time eddies, paradoxes, and even serial killers who lure victims using them. Cell phones. Not a big fan. I use...other methods." "Which leads me to ask what were you doing out there? Did you find a clue, Sherlock?" "Hello, Frank." The Doctor greeted Frank with a slap on the back to the bigger man. He made a face at Jesse to move out of the driver's seat. Jesse looked sheepish and screwed up the right side of his mouth as he scooted over to the left side of the car. He hopped over Bessie's door and sat down behind the steering wheel. "What was that all about?" "I told you, I'll explain later." "Are we going to find Jeremy now?" "I'm open to suggestions." "Well, why didn't we save time and take the TARDIS?" "You are full of questions today, aren't you?" The Doctor put dark, black shades on his eyes. Sun glasses. "Do I look cool?" "You wish," Jesse said as he raised his head. He studied the Doctor as Bessie pulled out of the parking lot. "Okay, yeah, you do but...ish, can you..." Jesse leaned over and took the shades off. "...answer me?" "I have the TARDIS energizing itself up, preparing to take on the monster. I couldn't spare any energy moving it." He took the shades and put them back on. Jesse frowned and sank into his seat. He crossed his arms. "Doctor's Log. July 5th Saturday Afternoon. 5 PM. I had more preparations to make and as I wanted to save Jeremy just as much as Jesse did, I didn't have time for anxiety or apprehension while waiting...as he did..." Jesse watched as the TARDIS vanished from the den. He whirled around. "What's he playing at?" He ran to the window in the living room. He moved curtains aside to see the TARDIS appear in the drive way. Suddenly, he was aware of the phone ringing in the kitchen. "Land line? Who uses that anymore?" He ran to the phone and picked it up. He noticed the phone number on the caller ID. "Jeremy? Jeremy, where are you?" Jeremy spoke lowly. "Jes. Jess. I'm in trouble. Need you. Need the Doctor. Get the Doctor...Ace Auto Wreckers... killed workers here. Long Island...Av... Airvenahhhh! Jesse!" Jesse looked at the phone. He called to Jeremy over and over again. "No answer." In a panic, Jesse ran outside to the TARDIS and pushed the doors. They would not open. "What the fuck?" He banged on the doors. "Open this! Doctor! Jeremy just called. The phone went dead. I'm afraid...he is, too!!! DOCTOR!" He looked in his pockets for the key. He took to the banging again. He realized his key was inside his room in the TARDIS. "Doctor, open up! DOC...!" The Doctor is was in the console room. The TARDIS suddenly changed into a first class motorcycle. http://images.geeknative.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/TARDIS-motorcycle-1.jpg It was in the driveway and Jesse was banging naked air. "...TOR! Open up...wha da hell?" The Doctor was on the seat and he started the motor up. He smiled, "It worked. It finally worked. Since 1985 the chameleon circuit hasn't worked properly. This is history." "History?" Jesse asked. "You know all about that, don't you?" "Most of it...hey, hop on!" Jesse just arrived. "What are you...? Hey, this is really cool..." He felt up the blue leather seat and his fingers reached the Doctor's buttocks and kept pushing under the butt crack. He folded his fingers up. "Get on." "Doncha mean in?" Jesse straddled the ample seat behind the Doctor. His voice shook as he said, "Doctor, Jeremy...he just called. He...he got cut off. I think he might be under some kind of control or...or even dead..." His face screwed up and he fought back the desire to cry. "Stop. We can't think like that. He's not dead!" "It...it sounds like a trap..." "Well, of course it's a trap!" The Doctor snapped. "And it's my fault. I...I told it I was a Time Lord." "No. You told it you weren't human," Jesse recalled. "IIRC..." "Huh?" "If I recall correctly. C'mon, Doc, get with the net times." "It wants more Time Lord DNA. It wants the TARDIS. With the power in that, it might just be able to turn completely into..." "Human?" "No. It could never do that. Something worse than it is now. But it doesn't know that. It's basically selfish. Evil. Just wants what it wants. In Jeremy, it sees something...only one God like being could successfully become human..." "Jeremy may not be dead but...there are worse things than death, right?" The Doctor admitted, "Yes, he's in danger! That thing will find out he's got Time Lord DNA in him..." Jesse swallowed his cry. "Happens to us all the time. We've had that in us before..." The Doctor said, "Yes, well, this time, it might know it's alien to Earth and as it's looking for human DNA..." Jesse nodded. "He'll be okay, though, right? He lived through an attack by it already." "Jer's DNA makes the alien vulnerable. It took DNA from him. If it doesn't work, human, he might think the Time Lord DNA can make him as close as he can get. And if it does not work with one Time Lord lover, you might be next." "I'll be fine. But..." Jesse looked worried, "Jeremy? Why're you worried about him? He can take care of himself." The Doctor bit his lower lip, "Yes, that's what worries me---he's gone off to try to stop it himself, convince it not to do what it's doing. We've got to find him...he's going to try to pull the power unit off it..." Jesse asked, "The helmet?" The Doctor snapped, "Yes, the helmet! Its power source! It must have somehow made that...out of star stuff." "Star stuff?" "Yes! I haven't got time to explain what a star is made of!" "Okay, I'm sorry. It's just that some of your explanations...go on. I'm sorry." "To become human, it had to make something first. I don't know what kind of power source it used to start itself up though...some kind of metal from another world or maybe even something from a black hole. To make the power source and then connect to...I suppose it is a bit above even my head. You see, Jeremy's the one that got away. Only he can touch it and live...but it might fully occupy his entire being..." Jesse swallowed, "Let's go already!" He pressed the handle power surge and the bike, the TARDIS, drove off, the Doctor falling back a bit. As they drove along, Jesse had his arms wrapped around the Doctor and his hands on his tight stomach. "Hey, where's K9?" The Doctor pointed to the seat under him. Jesse looked startled. "Under your ass?" "Inside the TARDIS..." As he drove on, the Doctor said, "I have to make a stop first." "Another stop? Doc, you should have used the little boy's room in the TARD before we turned it into a motorcycle." "I need some more help in stopping it." The blue honed TARDIS motorcycle soared into the parking lot, zipping across Deer Park Avenue and a large stone bank. It stopped near a light pole in front of a 7-11 store. It was almost twilight outside but the lights from the 7-11 and a nearby restaurant lit up the area, not that it needed it yet. The Doctor took the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket. Jesse, who was holding onto the Doctor for dear life, let go and hopped off. "That's the sonic screwdriver." "Well done, Jesse." The Doctor looked at the front of the store and found what he wanted. "Aha, they still do hang out here on Saturdays!" "Oh no, you're not going to..." Jesse waved his hands. "Yes, I am." The Doctor moved to a row of 13 motorcycles, most of them large and silver and new looking. "Harley Davison, every one, by the look of them." Jesse, sheepish, followed. He looked around for anyone to notice them. Most people were going about their business and not paying any attention to them. There weren't many people around anyway. Most were home eating dinner. The Doctor bent down over the end motorcycle. Jesse's eyes darted around to see if anyone saw them. "What? What the hell do you think you're doing? Trying to get us killed?" Inside the store, there was a full view outside the glass windows of the Doctor bending down, opening the light on the first motorcycle. The gang were too busy getting frosties, smoothies, and other drinks, one skinny bleach blond motorcycle guy had bought and was smoking a cigarette. There was Steve, the gang leader, large shouldered, muscular, and like the other wearing the same jacket: a black affair that had the words MONSTER ASSASSINS on the back of it. There were red roses under the logo. Then, there was Mark, a taller man, older, totally gray hair. Jeans and black pointed boots were worn by all the members of the gang. Mark's looked red tipped. He sipped a coffee. Barry was a taller slender, long haired member who wore a bandana around his hair but didn't tie it up. He was 28. He looked less clean than Steve and Mark. Other members included the rotund, unhealthy thick armed, potbellied Roy who had a kerchief around his thinning hair. His boyfriend, also a bleach blond, seemed only about 5 percent effeminate and with longer hair than all the others except for Barry. The boyfriend's name was Kurt and he had no shirt on under his MONSTER ASSASSINS vest, revealing a skinny but muscled body. Others included Dan (a black man with his hair dyed red, also with no shirt under his leather vest), Don, Lee, Dick, Bill, Harry, Maycream (yes, Maycream), and Van (an albino with very red eyes and completely white hair). Roy, about 30, fake punched 24 year old Kurt in front of the windows, unaware of the Doctor proceeding down the line of bikes. Jesse was pinching his shirt and waving off his chest to create some air. He was sweating profusely. "Doctor, let's go before they see us and kill us." "I can't. I need them." "I..." "Look, I'm almost done, just about five more to go. Do me a favor..." "Anything..." "Go to the end of the row and make sure they don't fall..." "No." "Do it. Please." Jesse threw his hands up, making his shirt ride up with wear. Steve, the 28 year old, motorcycle gang leader pointed. "Hey, those two clowns have been touching our bike's lights!" He snapped his fingers and Mark and Dan alerted the rest of the gang to follow outside. Just as the Doctor had finished, Jesse let go of the last bike. "Good, you're done. Now how do you expect..." His letting go, caused the end bike to fall over into the other bikes and one by one, dominos, they all fell. The Doctor, in his bent position, went wide eyed. Jesse was wide eyed as well. He watched, in rapidly growing horror as each bike fell into the other, until all of them were on each other, the last one on the ground! He put his hands on his head and bent his elbows to do so. He wanted to pull his hair out. In frustration, he left his hands on the side/back of his blond head. His mouth was open in terror. The gang poured out of the 7-11 at that moment. Jesse stared. He couldn't talk. The fallen bikes were between Jesse and the gang. He didn't even think to run. It would not work. The Doctor was as yet unseen from his crouching position but they knew he was there because Steve had seen him. The Doctor rose up, standing to his full height of 5'5. He raised his right arm and twiddled his fingers on the appropriate hand to wave. "Hello there. Lovely twilight we're having." Roy snarled. "That was a good movie series." "Shut up, Roy," Mark snarled from behind Steve but turned to Roy to snap that at him. "That...was an accident. I assure you, I will pay for any damages to the bikes." "Hells yeah, you will," Steve jumped over the first bike to meet the Doctor face to face. "But I saw you tinkering with our lights!" "Tinker? Tinker? My good man, I never tinker." The Doctor turned to look at Jesse, who was still stuck in the same position, hands on head, mouth agape. "Say hello the nice motorcycle gang, Jesse." Jesse was dry. He managed to breathe in and out. "Hi." Steve grabbed the Doctor's shirt and brown jacket with both fists. "You did something!" The Doctor held up the sonic screwdriver. "See, it's just a screwdriver." "They're gonna drive some screws into us!" Jesse yelled as Dan, Don, Mark, and Barry cornered him from behind and then as he turned to face them, they moved him ...herded him to the wall at the 7-11. Jesse tried small talk. "Say, you guys aren't like most gangs. Not prejudiced to have a black guy in your gang...glad to see that." Dan looked at him. "Wadda mean?" "I mean you..." After a beat, Dan said in a monotone, "I'm not black." "Oh." Jesse swallowed. Not a smile among the enemies. And to Jesse that's what they were. Jesse swallowed a second time. "Hey, guys, any of you hear about the time the Earth was saved from a fire phoenix? I had a hand in that. Saved you all. Some of you before you were born. Of course, some of you are quite old so...that wasn't helping was it? Hey, a song I sang saved the town...the country...the continent...the planet..." As he found his back to the brick wall, Jesse saw a big figure moving past the others. It was Roy. Roy, a big guy, grabbed Jesse up against a cement wall to the side of the 7-11's main entrance. Five more surrounded the Doctor and started to punch his sides and back. "I can take that!" The Doctor tossed all five of them around. "To save my friend. I wish I could have saved your friend, Moe. I mean Izzy." The five men renewed their attack on him. The motorcycle leader laughed and pushed his men off the Doctor. "Why didn't you say that's what you wanted? Of course, we'll help you! We knew Izzy. I mean Moe." "Isn't it Izzy to his friends?" "No. We called him Moe." Jesse pointed up to the sky. "Hey, that rhymes." Everyone rolled their eyes. Jesse apologized. "Sorry. C'mon, we gotta get moving if we're going to save our friend." "You have someone in trouble?" "Yeah, big trouble." "THEN...we'll help." "Aren't you surprised that Moe was gay and that there ACTUALLY ARE ALIENS?" "Not in the least, what can we do to stop this crappy monster?" "I've already put some extra things in your...well, the lights on the bikes. I also needed you all to get mad. The extrasenti..." Jesse shook his head slightly and moved his pupils left of center. "Doctor, normal voice...talk..." "Ahhh, righto! I needed the mad energy. It will help combat the monster star...the thing doing this." Jesse looked at the back of the jacket of Barry. "Monster Assassins. Is that because you are assassins that kill monsters or you're assassins who are monsters?" Barry looked down at the slightly shorter Jesse. "Both, kid. Both." Kurt slapped a hand on Barry's back. "We were, until recently, a month ago, called the Red Roses but when we heard what happened to Izzy..." Jesse moved around the Doctor's back and told him, "The next time you decide to nearly get us killed, let me know first." "I thought it was an unspoken rule." Mark grumbled. "I still don't understand. What's going on?" In one of those strange coincidences, the Doctor began to explain EVERYTHING. To himself. "The Stars are born in nebulae. Huge clouds of dust and gas collapse under gravitational forces, forming protostars. These young stars undergo further collapse, forming main sequence stars. Stars expand as they grow old. As the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium, the core contacts and the outer layers expand, cool, and become less bright. This is a red giant or a red super giant depending on the initial mass of the star. It will eventually collapse and explode. Its fate is determined by the original mass of the star. It will become either a black dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. I wonder which one this is. Certainly, if it were a black star we'd all be sucked in by now and not in a good way. But every once in a while these, any of these, can develop some kind of evo evolutionary pattern, which is more like your Biblical creation. Biopoiesis is the natural process of life arising from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. It is thought to have occurred between 3.8 and 4 billion years ago, and is studied through a combination of laboratory experiments and extrapolation from the genetic information of modern organisms in order to make reasonable conjectures about what pre-life chemical reactions may have given rise to a living system. Strictly speaking, stars are not considered living beings or living entities. Some of them aren't so that's correct but mainly, most stars do contain some form of life but even fewer stars can emote or feel. When they do..." the Doctor laughed to himself. "OHHH, when they do...it's brilliant. Brill brilliant. Can that happen to such an extent biophysically as we've seen here? What's its process though? The spontaneous formation of complex polymers from abiotically generated monomers under the conditions posited by the soup theory is not at all a straightforward process. Besides the necessary basic organic monomers, compounds that would have prohibited the formation of polymers were formed in high concentration during the Miller–Urey and Joan Oró experiments. Biophysical, protein pumped based, chemical alone, electrical spark of life, star primordial soup natured, homochirality...it certainly has the homo covered, or had a homo covered...more than once, I would imagine. That's not funny, Doctor. Still, it always helps to keep one's sense of humor in these things, doesn't it, Doctor?" Steve asked as the Doctor rambled. "What's he on about?" "He talks to himself sometimes because he's the only one who understands what he's talking about." Mark nodded. "Ah. I see. No, I don't. Never mind." "Chiral molecules can be synthesized, but in the absence of a chiral source or a chiral catalyst, they are formed in a 50/50 mixture of both enantiomers. This is called a racemic mixture. Known mechanisms for the production of non-racemic mixtures from racemic starting materials include asymmetric physical laws, such as the electroweak interaction; asymmetric environments, such as those caused by circularly polarized light, quartz crystals, or the Earth's rotation and statistical fluctuations during racemic synthesis. Is it one of those, none of those or ..." The Doctor gasped. "All of those?" "Doc, just tell the plan, plain and simple!" Jesse eventually yelled. "But I have to figure this out." "Can you stop it?" "Doubtful." Jesse dropped his shoulders. "But I sure can give it a fucking good try." Jesse smiled. The Doctor told them the plan, plainly and simply. "Okay, so that is the plan. Mount your blokes, bikes." Everyone stared at the Doctor. Jesse shut his eyes in peril. The Doctor faked a laugh/snort . "I mean mount your bikes, blokes." "These Englishmen sure are strange," Roy told Kurt as they moved at their bikes. Steve introduced everyone to the Doctor while Jesse introduced himself to them, separately. Music: UP THE SHARD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5dZhWimfzc Pan across the row of motorcycle gang: Steve put his helmet on. Pointed spike on top. Dan put his helmet on and buttoned the strap. Don put his helmet on and didn't button his strap. Barry did the same. Roy put his helmet on and looked left and winked. To Roy's left, Kurt, as he put his helmet on, blew Roy a kiss. Jesse stuck his head between them and looked from one to the other. Roy shrugged and put his hands out. "What?" "Nothing." The Doctor yelled from the end of the line where he waited on the TARDIS motorcycle. "Jesse!" "Coming!!!" Jesse ran toward the TARDIS cycle, his hair blowing wildly. Lee, Dick (who had the words DICK BIG on the side of helmet), Bill, Harry, Maycream (yes, Maycream), and Van, all in turn put their helmets on, too. Jesse asked the Doctor, "Why is that one called Maycream?" "Steve told me he's called that because he loves riding his bike so much, he may cream every time he rides it." "Oh." Mark snapped. "Ready to go!" With a face of irritation and semi boredom, Steve turned to look at him and pulled a face. Mark shrugged. "What?" "You know what!" Mark pulled his helmet from the back of his bike and snapped it on, irritated and angry. Steve nodded and smiled to the air as he took center position of the troupe of bikes, forming a vee as they pulled out onto Deer Park Avenue. "What was that about?" Jesse asked, him and the Doctor the only two without helmets on. "Safety first, citizen," the Doctor answered and yelled this at Mark as he passed him by on the TARDIS cycle. Mark gave him the finger and made a fist. He nodded and gave a punch sign to Steve as the Doctor pulled to center position. Steve nodded to Mark with a peace signal to let the Doctor lead them. Hair blowing back on Jesse's head. As he held on, hands around the Doctor's waist, Jesse moved his head to the Doctor's shoulder. "Doctor?!" "Yes!?" The Doctor focused on his driving the TARDIS motorcycle. "The next time you decide to adapt biker's headlights to turn em into an alien capturing ray, could you please let them know what you're doing in detail BEFORE you do it, please?" The Doctor smiled slightly. "I'll try!" "Thank you." The 14 motorcycles took over Deer Park Avenue and raced as the sun began its descent into the horizon. Wisps of light tried to linger in the sky but the darkness overtook them. Mind you, it was the darkness of a hot summer night so stars twinkled in the air, which would have been still but for the 14 motorcycles. The brigade of cycles turned right from Deer Park Avenue onto Long Island Avenue, passing a small gas station there and also a small train station next to that. The sounds of the motorcycles were almost deafening. As they rode down Deer Park Avenue, Jesse picked his head up from the middle of the Doctor's back where he was keeping free from the wind. He noticed a huge truck on the opposite of the highway. The truck label was of the company, "A Duie Pyle." Jesse laughed a bit. "A dewy pile. Get it! A pile of...doo doo." The Doctor rolled his eyes as the wind whipped his hair. "You're rolling your eyes at me right now, aren't you?" In fact, the Doctor already was smiling at Jesse's joke. Jesse put his head in the Doctor's back again and snuggled, putting his head up a bit higher. "So comforting. I could just stay here forever, just like this, with you." The Doctor felt content, too. "Me, too!" After a few minutes, the Doctor yelled to be heard over the sound of the cycles. "We're almost there. You just stay outside and prepare to comfort Jeremy after we've rescued him." Jesse said nothing but frowned. He thought, "Yeah, right." The Doctor checked the small TV monitor screen that was on the front of the console on the motorcycle. "Gates are well closed." "What?" Jesse yelled over the roar of the cycles. "Gates welded shut or something." "I thought it was a trap!? What kind of trap keeps us out?" "What?" Jesse screamed, "Thought it was a trap---what kind of trap keeps the prey out?" "Guessing that Jeremy survived!!! It figures he's enough. At least for the long term!!! Keeping us out is part of the plan!!!" "What? Say again!" "Jeremy survived!!! He's enough for it until his DNA wears out. Wants us out!!" "Sonic screwdriver!" "I'm afraid even the sonic screwdriver won't get me into this one!" "Then...how...?" There were 13 motorcycles that stopped outside Ace Auto Wreckers. Jesse didn't hear the Doctor warn him again but the Doctor yelled it to the gang as much as to Jesse. They, too, did not hear him. "It's got the gates welded shut." The Doctor broke into an Old Western American accent, instead of his usual British one as he said, "I'm'a gonna break through them." Jesse went wide eyed as he saw the front of the TARDIS cycle head right at the melded gate lock! "No, no, no! NO!" Before he knew it, the front smashed through the metal/wooden gates and knocked both sides off of the fence at the front. The gang cheered. Inside, the Doctor skidded the cycle around and Jesse held on for dear life. "Hold on for your life, Jesse!" "I am!" Inside the work office, on the floor, naked Jeremy, dirty and somewhat still bloody, stirred. He woke up quickly and grabbed onto the sides of the office window into the junkyard. Stacks of dead cars everywhere. Hope filled him. "The...the Doctor! Jesse! K9!" The TARDIS cycle circled back around and headed out toward the gate opening it just created. The Doctor snapped, "Now..." Roy asked, "NOW?" "No, not now, Roy," the Doctor patted the big man's shoulder, he was that close to him with his bike. "...you all know the plan. Follow it to the tea..." Kurt turned to Jesse, near the back of the TARDIS cycle. "Oh, I'd murder for a cuppa tea right now." Jesse did a double take. Jesse gasped to Steve, "If they do it too early, it won't work." "Don't you worry, little one." "Little one? Who's a little one?" "You are." "Oh. Right." The Doctor hopped off the TARDIS bike, making Jesse put his hands up in a questioning gesture. The Doctor put an arm around Steve. "Steve, Steve, Steve. My young lov...friend...is right. Any of you come in there too early, and get yourselves killed or put them on too early...it won't work. And my friend will die...understand?" He broke the contact and extended his right arm and put his right finger out to point at Steve. "Are you pointing at me?" The Doctor took his left hand and reached out to his right hand to cover it. "Only for a second." Steve smiled. He nodded. "Gotcha." "Good man." The Doctor went back to the TARDIS motorcycle and hopped on. "Remember, not until I yell NOW!" "Now?" Roy asked from his bike. "No, not now, Roy," Kurt called to him from a few feet away. Roy winked at him. "Are you all gay?" Jesse asked. "Yeah, problem with that?" Mark asked. "Problem would be if you weren't." Jesse winked. "I..." Mark didn't know what to say and Jesse figured that was a first. "Yell now, then do plan," the Doctor reminded them. "You go in first?" Steve asked. "Just like we planned. I sure do!" The Doctor said, "Ride em Time Lord." As he revved the engine, suddenly, he and Jesse were a half foot above the console floor. They both landed on the floor. Jesse looked around the TARDIS interior. "What the fuck?" "I need it this way to siphon off the energy." The motorcycle gang were stunned as they saw the TARDIS motorcycle change instantly into a big, blue POLICE BOX. The letters on the small door concealing the phone were black letters on a white background but then changed to white on blue and then white on black. The phone panel wording changed from, "Urgent Calls" to "All Calls". The St John's Ambulance sign on the front doors changed signs and then vanished completely. The POLIC BOX sign grew wider. The TARDIS police box seemed larger and wider. It also had more stacks on top than usual. The window frame color seemed to change as well, sometimes white, sometimes blue, sometimes black. The interior seemed to be the 5th Doctor's second console https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARDIS#/media/File:TARDIS_console_1983.jpg ... with the First Doctor's complete, large control room. (MUSIC: I AM THE DOCTOR restructure/remix)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKsOr9YdiXM Jesse immediately launched himself at the console's lever with the big red button at the end. He pulled it down and the doors to the outside opened. Jesse ran out the door. The Doctor ran after him. "Jesse! Jesse!" He grabbed Jesse's arm before Jesse could get very far in the barely illuminated car junkyard. The moon glow helped so illuminate some of it, large chunks of moon glow mixed with the dim lamp lights around the junkyard. Jesse stopped and looked around as the Doctor held his upper left arm. "Where do you think you're going?" "To find Jeremy!" "We will. I promise," the Doctor said. "Let the TARDIS do his thing first..." "In the meantime?" Jesse asked and pulled his arm free. "In the meantime..." The Doctor said, "We'll find something to fill the time. This time..." he pointed at Jesse's face, "...young man, you will listen to what I have to say." Jesse turned toward the TARDIS. "Yeah. Yeah, you're right..." "Good," the Doctor squinted into the night of the junkyard, trying to see into the parts that were not illuminated. "I hope that ridiculous cheering of theirs didn't wake it from its restorative cycle..." "But I'm not going to!" Jesse finished their previous conversation by letting the Doctor back up into the TARDIS threshold, just under the door frames before running back out into the junkyard. "NOOO!" The Doctor turned again to run after him but a familiar white/gray rounded shape flew in front of his face. "K9, get out of my way, K9." "Negative, Master," K9 drew out his nose laser stun gun. "K9, I'm warning you!" The Doctor snapped. "Get out of my way!" "Negative. Everyone needs you in the TARDIS. What has to be done has to be done with you at the console." "K9, I won't forget this." The Doctor snapped. Then, his mood changed and he smiled. He put a hand on the robot dog's head. "It's going to kill Jeremy and Jesse..." "The young masters need you inside at the controls now. It is the only way to boost the TARDIS to stop the star. To block its considerable powers." "You're right!" The Doctor ran inside and K9 followed him. The doors closed. The Doctor ran to the console. "Siphoning started already. Although with that helmet on, the thing will still be able to regenerate and then there's no way to..." "Suggest magnetic beam to pull it off the body, Master." "Good dog! K9, sometimes I wonder why I'm in charge here and you're not!" "So do this unit, Master." The Doctor, worked feverishly at the console, and stopped for a second and looked up at K9, who landed at his feet so then he had to look down. "Yes. Yes. So do you." The Doctor moved to the TARDIS and started up the engines again. The familiar hum rose in pace and the groaning of the ship started again. "Magnetic beam started..." "Danger, Master, danger!" As the TARDIS flew, a huge object, weighing two tons, hit it in mid-air. The TARDIS spiraled and the roof hit the ground. The Doctor held onto the console, K9 took flight and wasn't affected at all. The Doctor's head was facing downward...toward what was usually the ceiling. "One switch...if I can reach it..." "I can, Master!" "Good dog, K9!" K9 hit the switch with his nose turret and the console room righted itself even though the TARDIS was still on its top. It tilted. The red Chevy that hit it, flew down at it and hit the bottom, which was first up. The TARDIS fell onto its side, the door faced down on the ground. Another car. A blue Ford. Another. And Another. A truck that looked crushed in half. For every vehicle that landed on it, the rays that shone out, like beacons of hope, were blotted out, some put out immediately, and some put out slowly. Like searching lights in the sky for a lost aircraft, the rays moved to and fro...to be blotted out. The TARDIS was soon covered with wrecked, damaged cars and old motorcycles. And huge trucks. All light from the TARDIS no longer reached the outside world as it was completely covered. The glow from the windows and the top light seemed extinguished. Its rays of life vanished from the ether. Jesse ran to the middle of the junkyard and found himself surrounded by dead cars on every side. He wondered what the stories of these cars were. For every dead car, there was some kind of story, pedestrian or unique, he thought. Then, he saw a man's feet sticking straight up in a position that made him think the man was hurt...or dead. He went to the man, who was behind a stack of wrecked, half crushed motorcycles. He felt for a pulse. Dead. He looked closer to another area of larger stacks of station wagons, all shapes and colors, bent rims, tireless. Another man. He ran to the other man and checked his pulse. Also dead. Their faces looked as if they were melted off. He tried not to look at them and fought down the acid in his stomach. He had to find Jeremy. In a smaller area, to the rear of the junkyard and in the dark, away from moon glow and man-made lamps, the motorcycle thing was devouring flesh, shoving it under his helmet, the dark obscuring its facial features. It was making animal sounds as it scarfed down flesh and bone alike. It fused some of it to its own outside with hands to its own body. The flesh and gore was in a pile behind it. It kept reaching to it and stuffing it down itself or adding to itself. >From the large office bay window, Jeremy saw Jesse walking in the middle of the junkyard. "Oh no!" He waved. "Jesse, get out of there!" He saw that his lover could not hear him so he ran for the door. "Oh shit!" He ran outside to Jesse. Jesse turned to him and hugged him. "Oh my God! Are you hurt?" "He...it...it raped, Jesse." "Oh no!" Jesse hugged him tighter. The thing paused in its restoration process. It made a gruff growl and looked up, angry. Jesse broke the hug and saw Jeremy had tears streaming from both eyes. "You're tough, man. You can handle it." "You don't know what it was like. A dead thing...inside...I think it's inside me, even now..." Jesse took off his shirt. "What are you doing?" "There are others with us. Help is here. I wanna cover..." He put his shirt around Jeremy's privates and stooped to tie the sleeves in back but turned them to front. He tried to avoid Jeremy's dick near his mouth. "If I get any closer, we'll never get out of here. We'll be here all night." "Don't worry about that. I'm not humiliated by being naked." "If anyone has a right not to be, it's you but I don't want them to see you like this. It...no one should be seen after being..." "I'll live, man." Jeremy took him up from below and held him out to stare at him. "Thank you." Jesse joked. "My sleeve should just about cover your ...you know, shaft and head." Jeremy shook his head, the one on top. "Jesse, I think you should go. Leave now." Something fogged his eyesight and his mind. "It wants me to..." "KILL HIM! KILL HIM NOW. HE IS NO LONGER NEEDED." Stiffly, the man thing came from behind the stack of crushed Volkswagen cars. Jesse looked from the monster, which was about fifty feet away, to Jeremy. He balked. "You're not gonna hurt me, Jer." "YOU MUST DO AS I EMPOWER YOU TO! KILL HIM SO I MAY FEED ON MORE TIME LORD DNA!" "NO! No, I won't!" Jeremy said. "I don't kill! You killed those men!" "It...it seems weaker!?" "Jesse, it is. Run!" Jeremy pushed him away. Jesse was confused. "Wha? I'm not gonna leave..." "Get the fuck outta here!" Jeremy moved at Jesse, fists raised. Threatening. Jesse looked more confused and even hurt. "I...no." "That thing is gonna kill you!" Jeremy pointed. There was desperation and plea in his voice. Jesse made a move to wrap his arms around Jeremy. In a run at him. Jeremy jerked away and fell back onto his butt. Before Jesse could reach him, a titanic wall of sheet metal, silver gray, smashed between them. Jesse had no time to realize it was the back door to an already demolished merchandise transporting truck. For the way it fell, it was now ready to fall...right on him. He ran sideways to avoid the fall and get around to where Jeremy was. As he reached the other side, he found Jeremy was gone and heading his way was a huge yellow jeep. For a second, his mind thought of JURASSIC PARK but this style jeep looked more solid. It would make mincemeat out of him. He dodged it but he was sure he could not keep that up...at all. He looked around for both cover and Jeremy. >From between the pile of cars, a slim figure atop a motorcycle emerged. Behind him was a hovering silver gray white robot dog. Jesse ran as the motorcycle monster pointed his gloves at a crane and the crane rushed at the boy. A ball from the crane came smashing at him. The Doctor rushed at them in the TARDIS motorcycle but it changed back to the regular TARDIS and then back to a motorcycle, K9 hovering over the back seat. "Master!?" "Momentary glitch! Hold on, K9!!!" "I don't hold, Master." "This will make me get to them faster!" It changed back to the Police Box. "Damn it! I knew it was too good to last! Well, here's blocking!" He put the TARDIS between the wrecking ball and Jesse. The TARDIS was slammed hard as the ball hit it. "Hang on, K9!!" "I do not hang, Master!" "Just do it!" The Doctor yelled as the room rolled end over end. "I'll try right us right side up!" Jeremy was on his butt behind the office building, which was a small one story cement building with a roof that looked like giant pipe cleaners was tubed on top of it. He was crying. He swallowed and steeled himself. He rose up and moved to the side of the building. He heard Jesse gasping for air. He saw the monster, back to him. He inched out from the building and slowly made his way toward its back. The creature pointed at a bulldozer. The light came on and it rushed at Jesse, who gasped, "Holy Killdozer!" and then he kept running. Jesse ran to a large pile of cars. He was now cornered at a junk pile in the junkyard of cars---and he realized on both sides were also junk piles of cars. The sound of the bulldozer continued. Behind the creature Jeremy reached for the helmet, sneaking up on the monster as it menaced Jesse. He kept hesitating. He thought it was something the monster within him was making him do. He wasn't sure what he was doing anymore but knew if he could just take the helmet off... The motorcyclist man/monster looked at more cars, trucks, and bulldozers, all of which it hurled through the air at Jesse. He noticed that the bulldozer sound had stopped. He kept avoiding the thrown vehicles as he found a hole in the rubbish wall but it was only a matter of time before he tired. Behind its back, Jeremy could see that the monster was using some power to fling more and more cars at Jesse without it touching even one of them. One with lights on seemed alive and flew at Jesse but the Doctor maneuvered the TARDIS, seemingly sliding through the air, in front of him and blocked it. More metal flew at the boy but the Doctor blocked the debris. At other times, the Doctor made the TARDIS spin to block debris and the junk flew off the TARDIS exterior. Jesse ran to a wall but realized it was smaller than other walls. Suddenly, the lights went on and the sound of a bulldozer started. It started to push him. He put his weight against it and threw his body into it but realized it was heading toward a flat stack. Jesse ran forward of the bulldozer and reached another stack to his left. These piles were everywhere. The bulldozer moved at him again. "Everywhere I run, I feel cornered in!" The TARDIS flew between the bulldozer and Jesse. Jesse ran as the TARDIS became bulldozed into the junk pile and junk cars from the top fell all over it. "Not again!" The Doctor yelled, inside. The thing snarled at Jesse. It walked, unsteadily, on two wobbly legs. It grew strength and became better at walking. It moved its head at a stack of cars. Jeremy moved with it, step for step, his right hand leading. One car flew off the top of one pile and headed at Jesse. Jesse ran and the car smashed where he had been second before. He was on hands and knees now. He looked up, hair blowing in summer breeze. Sweating. The monster made an angry sound and hurled its head one way. Jesse didn't notice Jeremy behind the monster. Another car, a larger one, an old wooden station wagon... http://www.imcdb.org/i276387.jpg ...that looked to Jesse like THE MOD SQUAD's first station wagon... ...came at him. He ducked down on all fours and then onto his belly. The wagon hit the cars behind and above him. The pile toppled away from him but then toward him. "Your aim's getting worse!" He jumped up into a lunge and ran. The pile toppled where he had stood second before. He was out of breath. He ran to a wall of crushed metal, that didn't even resemble cars any longer, just crushed flat stacks, like pancakes. He turned and put his back to the stack. >From the new avalanche-created pile, the Doctor rode the motorcycle TARDIS out again and then it changed into the TARDIS, which spiraled at the monster. Jesse cupped his mouth and shouted, "Doctor, get the doors open and fly at me!" "The last time I did this was with Casey and...No, I can't do that!" "Negative, Master, this Type 40 is quite capable..." "It's just not my forte...but what the hell, if it'll save Jesse, here goes! GERONIMO!!!!" The thing came at Jesse and was a mere five feet away from him. He screamed and fell onto his back. The thing looked up and an old amusement park Tilt A Whirl car came flying down from the sky at him. On his elbows, Jesse propped himself up and he looked up and screamed. Jeremy was behind the monster, so close, that Jesse failed to see him again. He reached with his right hand. His left followed just behind. He tried to reach up for the helmet. Something in his mind tried to stop him. He thought of himself being raped... Suddenly, two things happened at the same time. Three, if you count thing also began to fire electric from its touching hands. The Doctor used the TARDIS to fly at Jesse, who stood up and ran sideways from other stack. K9 worked the door controls. "Doors open, Master!" Jesse was effectively scooped up in mid run and the doors closed. The Tilt A Whirl smashed down on the ground but the thing made it bounce up after Jesse. Jesse, the Tilt A Whirl car just behind him, was flung into the TARDIS door opening. He had on leg up, foot in a run, the other behind him. A leap. He leapt into the console room. The doors slammed shut behind him and the bang from the Tilt A Whirl car was heard as the redness of it smashed into the TARDIS. Jesse was thrown forward out of his run and ended up skidding, belly down, almost chin down on the console room floor. The TARDIS shook as the Tilt A Whirl car smashed against it. Other vehicles followed. But then it all stopped. Because of the second thing that happened. The electric from the thing's hands hit the TARDIS doors, too. But the main thing that happened was that Jeremy finally ripped the helmet off the monster. Harshly and with great strength, he placed both hands on the sides of the helmet and pulled. Jeremy grabbed the helmet off it from behind. As it came off, he thought he felt part of the right side of the jaw come with it. He tossed the helmet away. He faced it as soon as it turned around at him...the turn too supernatural...too quickly for anything human. Jeremy screamed as it roared at him! A hideous face of half formed jaw and teeth, embryo like baby eyes and cheek, old wrinkled skin, hair stuck to the head in a parody of a human being, minced in with brain matter! Goo seemed to run out of places it shouldn't. A gaping hole of spiraling energy in its mouth, blue, gray and black. Teeth, flesh, partial lips, flaying tongue, and a throat which was undulating larger and small in turn. Jeremy screamed again and opened his mouth wide to do so. The head had some flesh here and there, some hair here and there, not necessarily in the same places. There were burned spots on the skull. The eyes looked unsettled in half formed, half covered sockets. It had a mock human visage. The pupils looked at Jeremy and then sideways to Jesse's scream. The TARDIS landed again and he and the Doctor piled outside. "YOU STOP IT RIGHT THIS MOMENT!" The Doctor pointed at the star beast. "Jesse, get...oh no, not that again, too!" Jesse had already ran for Jeremy and pulled him away from the monster. It pointed both arms at them, the right one at Jeremy, the left one at Jesse. They both screamed. "STOP IT!" The Doctor yelled. Steve stopped Mark, grabbed his hand and forced it back on the light lever. "Not yet!" "But he's in there, alone, against it!" "I told him when he gave the word, we'd give it to that thing. Not before." Steve put his hand over Mark's. "Now, follow the plan." "Yeah, I will." Mark puffed. "Hey, bone head! Get away from my fiancés!" Jesse grabbed Jeremy's shoulder. "He...he remembered!" "Yeah." "Yeah, you bone head! We made a cup of coco and got engaged!" Jesse squinted, "Coco? What's he talking about?" Jeremy shrugged and held Jesse's arm. "Do we always know?" "Do we ever?" "You want me, not him! You want TIME LORD DNA, well, here it is! Unspoiled by human DNA. None of this semi Time Lord, half human crap! It's all me! C'mon, come and git me! It's me you want anyway! A full blooded Time Lord! No half human shit! I'll power you for 10 billion life times! Come and get me! I have no human in or about me!!!" Jeremy looked Jesse, just as Jesse had turned to look at Jeremy. Jeremy spoke up. "He...he's bluffing..." Jesse had a wide eyed look to show that he was not so sure of that. The Doctor yelled at the thing, "What you need is a jolly, old slapped bottom!!!! And I'm the one to give it to thee!" As the thing launched at him, the Doctor yelled and spat, "NOW!" All the motorcycle gang members raced into the junkyard, practically flying their bikes past the open gates. They formed a semi-circle around the Doctor and the motorcycle monster. The thing reached hands up and touched the Doctor, the Doctor meeting its hands with his own hands. Their hands met above in struggle, each pushing the other. The Doctor was moved back a few steps but he managed to move it back in place and to where it was. The feel of others' hands on the thing took him by surprise. It should not have. He knew it was made of a Hodge podge of other body parts. The Doctor made the thing take a few steps back to where it was and beyond. Then, a few steps back. The Doctor smiled at it. Its smell was atrocious. He sniffed. "I'll give you one more chance as I DO give second chances. Go back to being what you were meant to be, a star! One of the best things in the universes..." The thing seemed not to heed him. Raspy, unearthly voice from a dead man's larynx. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "Know what happens to a star when it dies? I warn you of the consequences of not taking your proper place in the schism you've created. Get thee hence!" "YOU HAVE NOT THE POWER." "I do! For I am the Doctor! I'm more than just a Time Lord! Much, much more! I can take you back, or forward, forward to the end of your star life cycle! For I can do wonders you never even dreamt of! Get off this world and leave it in peace or face what you wanted earlier than you wanted...your end right here and right now! Feel what it means to be human...and finite! For I'll say it again! I! AM! THE! DOCTOR!" (NOTE: THE NIGHT STALKER climatic battle music, heard in The Ripper, The Vampire, and a few other episodes) Both forms exploded in a huge blast that seemed like a mushroom cloud compacted in a car junkyard. The yellow, orange and red blast seemed to consume both figures. But they stood there within. Jeremy and Jesse shielded their eyes with their arms. Both yelled, "Doctor! Doctor!" The inferno seemed to last ages! Sparks and fire made forms difficult to see. Jesse squinted but thought he saw a hand in the flame. The thing's glove. Doctor's screwdriver falling out of his pocket? A falling tie? The blast subsided and the clothing on the monster man fell from thin air. It was gone. The Doctor also fell back, energy evaporating off him. Jesse and Jeremy ran to him. He brushed some smoke off himself. "What did you do?" Jesse asked, incredulous. Jeremy guessed. "He made it go back, back to its beginning..." "No. Not quite, actually." Jesse nodded. "Then, to its eventual death?" "The focus of the light energy sucked the energy out of the thing but even that wouldn't kill it. I...I rigged the lights to do two things." He held up three fingers as the motorcycle gang ran around to them and stood to listen, confused but wanting to know more. "Siphon off the energy..." "Using the TARDIS?" Jesse asked. The Doctor seemed to want to correct him but didn't. "Uh...yeah...yes, Jesse, the TARDIS. Second," the Doctor said as he put one finger down. "...to affect time around the beam and whatever it hit. Thus, the star energy left itself to go ahead to its own death, a dead star is a non-star. A has been. Leaving..." the Doctor put down the finger opposite his middle finger. "Me fuck finger." "Leaving just the stolen body...parts...ewl," Jesse stated as he turned to see the remains of the thing up close. It was really the remains of its victims. "That's not even it," Jeremy told him, putting an arm around his lover. "It's its victims." "Ohhhh." Jesse gasped and turned away, into Jeremy's arms and chest. "Horrible." Their lower bodies met each other as well. The remains were bone, flesh, and other body parts, both interior and exterior. Jeremy held Jesse out from his body. "Doctor. That energy you made the lights take...and you also made it a time take away...how much?" Jesse broke contact with Jeremy. "How much what?" He looked at the Doctor. "How much time did you lose?" "Oh, it's nothing. I'm so long lived now, practically live forever." "How much?" "I don't know. Really, I don't know. It doesn't make any bit of difference at my age. I'm going to live a very long time anyway." "You are so frustrating," Jeremy piped out. "And you, okay?" The Doctor put his arms out wide. Jeremy started to cry and put himself in the Doctor's arms. The Doctor wide hugged him and held him closer to himself. They snuggled. Jesse watched. The Doctor called, "You get in here! C'mon you!" Jesse obeyed. They stayed hugging for a good long time but after about ten minutes...and three growing penises between them... The Doctor sat next to Jeremy, who was crying. Jeremy nodded. "It was awful. It was awful." The Doctor put an arm around Jeremy's naked back. "It's all right. It's all over now." Jeremy swallowed. "The feelings of hate and rage. Jealousy. It was terrible. I...it wanted to destroy everything." "Well, you're free of it now." "You're sure. It's gone forever?" Sadly, the Doctor pulled him closer to his side as they sat on a rubber tire. "Yes, Jeremy. The Motorcycle Monster has been destroyed." Jesse stood over them and between them. Jeremy asked, "Why? Why did it come here? I don't understand. Is everything you said about it true?" The Doctor kissed the top of Jeremy's head and then his cheek and then his lips. "I'm sorry it took so long, Jeremy. I just didn't know how to stop it any other way..." Jeremy wondered and then asked, "Truthfully, why did it do what it did?" "When it comes to some alien life, who can say. We've all three of us encountered alien life that we just don't understand. Truth is I was conjecturing. We don't know what that alien force was...why it came here...although I can safely say that the Montauk projects attracted it to the Earth in the first place. Purposely or not..." the Doctor shrugged. "It's hard to say. We don't know why it chose you. Why it felt such jealousy of human beings, if it wanted to be like them or if it hated them or both...or, indeed if it felt some kind of love for you, Jeremy..." "So all that talk of yours about it being a star?" Jesse asked. "The best guess, who's to say," the Doctor said, "But we've got to try to help each other to understand." Jesse screwed up his mouth in indecision and skepticism. "You had to know something about your story was true. You stopped it." "Everything has energy. Every energy can be taken away. Take away the energy, the thing stops working." "I thought matter couldn't be destroyed. That even we go on as energy after we die." "Smart as a button, aren't you?" The Doctor tweaked the air. "Do that to your nose, if you were in front of me. Not many things can resist a time shift back or forward to death or birth." "What else helped you? How did you siphon it off and why did you stop at the cemetery...who were you talking to there?" Jesse asked, hands on hips. "You knew I was going to put the helmet on myself, didn't you?" The Doctor ignored Jesse and asked Jeremy. "Yes, I...I didn't want you to do that." "So you were going to put it on your own head," the Doctor explained as he knuckled the top of Jeremy's head. "I couldn't let you die...it would have killed you to do that. I had some chance, having some of it in me." "Yes, it was in you. In more ways than one." Jesse flustered. "Are you going to answer me?" Jeremy was more concerned about his mind. "I had that, something unknown, in my mind?" The Doctor whispered, "Yes." Jeremy stood up, "But it's gone now, isn't it, Doctor?" A policeman had entered the gates of the junkyard. He drew his gun upon seeing the broken gateway. "Doctor!" Steve called. Jeremy had to sit back down. "Oh...that was a bit fast for me. Standing up, you know..." >From the front of the junkyard, they heard, "HANDS UP, ALL OF YOU!" The Doctor stood up from Jeremy. "All right now?" "He was raped, Doctor!" "I've been raped before. I'll live," Jeremy told them both. "Good, good. I've got to settle something out there, it would seem!" The Doctor ran off as Jeremy stood up and started to say something. Jeremy asked, "But it's gone now, isn't it, Doctor?" Jesse stood looking at Jeremy, accusation on his face. Jeremy shrugged. "What? You've been raped before, too. We lived. We go on." "Yes, we go on," Jesse said coldly but his stare at Jeremy was one of love and concern. "Just know I love you." The Doctor ran to the policeman who was confronting and being confronted by the entire motorcycle gang. "Uh, uh. Officer, I'm sure that there's no need for that. These, uh, gentlemen are helping me with my investigation." "Your investigation?" "Yes! My investigation!" "And just who might you be?" "YES! I am!" "Sir, I'm going to have to formerly arrest all of you..." "That will do, officer." A familiar voice said. "Ash, Brigadier." The Brig came in, along with several UNIT men, some of which the Doctor had seen before but not before this summer. The Brig put an arm on the officer, who holstered his gun. "Sorry, sir, didn't know they were with you." "Quite all right, Benson." As Benson left, the Brig looked at him. "Good man, that Benson." The Doctor sat down on Mark's motorcycle, which angered him but Mark said nothing. The Brig put an arm under the Doctor's and helped him up. "I can't leave you alone for a second, can I, Doctor?" "What's up, Brigadier? Wait a minute..." "Yes?" "How'd you find me?" "You don't think there's anywhere you can go, that I don't know about, do you?" "Well, as a matter of fact, yes, I do." The Brig moved to the TARDIS and pulled a small circle from off the "I" in the sign TARDIS on it. "I dotted your I." "Tracker?" "Mean free path tracker. Using data collected from the Interstitial Antenna, the Tracker uses the Heisenberg Focusing Device (also known as the Zig-Zag Plotter) to show your TARDIS's planned path through the Space-Time Vortex. It presents cosmic graphics that allow the operator to spot approaching turbulence in a TARDIS's flight path by displaying the position and direction of movement of temporal particles outside the TARDIS. When turbulence is expected it is recommend that the blue stabilizers be activated to preserve gravitational stability in the control room." "Thank you, Brigadier. I do know what a Mean Free Path Tracker is." The Brig gave a short laugh. "You should. You gave it to me." "I wonder if it was a past me or a future me?" "Couldn't tell you. It was one of your incarnations I only met briefly. Tall, muscular fellow." "Blonde was he?" "As a matter of fact, no. Jet black hair. Very tall, very handsome." The Doctor fixed his lapels. "As usual. And just when did this future or past me come to you?" "A few nights ago while you were...ahh, off with..." "Ahh, yes...never mind, then Brigadier. I wondered why you hadn't used it before in my and your past." "Yes, well, I'll try not to get a headache deciphering that last statement. I'm here to tell you that the trail has gone cold. We have no more leads on the whole Montauk thing." "Brigadier, my friends and I have just had a very trying night. I'm here to tell you that..." the Doctor went over to the remains of the monster and the helmet in particular. It was burned out completely and looked partly like a mechanical battery but made with flesh. Now rotting flesh. Jesse and Jeremy were there. They waved to the Brig. The Doctor finished his statement to the Brig "...the monster is dead. It won't bother anyone anymore and yes, Jeremy, it IS gone from your mind, your body, and your spirit. Don't give it another thought." "I thought you didn't hear me or..." "Care? Of course, I care. I'm the Doctor. The care Doctor." He smiled at them. Jeremy smiled. Jesse didn't. He felt the Doctor was hiding something. "As I was saying." The Doctor went over to Mark and Steve and put his arms around both of them. "My friends and I have had a very trying time. I think we need some refreshments and some nice rest and relaxation on some lovely..." he looked at one of the young, stalwart UNIT men who passed by, reconnoitering. "...at some lovely club..." "Care to join us, Brigadier?" Jesse asked, hoping to run something by the Brig. "Oh, no. An old goat like me needs to be in bed in 20 minutes." "With who?" Jeremy asked. They all laughed. "July 5th ...late night..." Bunkhouse. Inside, Cody Simpson singing On My Mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-zDy7j7NVw Cody Simpson singing Wish You Were Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oi3nZW9E Jeremy looked around for Theon but didn't find him. Instead he met Umar, a 17 year old, exchange student from an Arabian country. Keeping on an eye on Jeremy, Jesse lost track of the Doctor. After singing a few songs and getting tired, Jesse walked outside, away from others who went outside to smoke, the idiots, he thought. He walked and realized, he had inadvertently walked to the cemetery. It was pitch black out now as the moon was hidden by some clouds. The street lights on the adjacent avenue afforded little to no light on the cemetery. Jesse looked into the cemetery. He squinted. There, amid the tombs, the gravestones, the bushes, the neatly cut grass...was a statue. Of an Angel. A Weeping Angel. Zoom in on it. DONATE TO NIFTY!!!
