Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2006 11:37:27 EDT From: J Subject: DOCTOR WHO, JESSE, AND JEREMY 31 The explosive end of 2782 storyline and the end of some Daleks...but which end? Reunited at last...Margie Lowpay is still dead. TARDISES are live and should not experience appearing in Dalek time machines at the same time as their vanishing! DOCTOR WHO, JESSE, AND JEREMY 31 "Yeah, Jesse?" "The Daleks are just vanishing..." "I see..." The Doctor threw himself at the Red Dalek, which was closest to him. He and it, vanished completely...along with the other Daleks. "Jeremy!" The Doctor yelled, "What are you doing here?" "Hiya, Doctor!!!!" Jeremy yelled, his hand on a lever device, "I just woke up and pulled this...it said recall device." "You've just called them all back." "What?" Jeremy looked around, "You mean...?" "Yeah, every Dalek that was on the Space Station...is now in here...with us..." "Fix our time machines to run without harm to any of us." Approaching the main console, which was stuck in a wall, the Doctor took out some glasses and put them on. He leaned in close, "Only need em for far away, you see. I don't, never mind." He looked at the controls. "Ohhh, you." He frowned, almost spat but with no spit. He made sounds of disapproval. " Humans like Jeremy there..." "Nice of you to remember I'm here." Jeremy waved. "..well, they can travel alright in your ships but you guys can't." He whipped off his glasses and looked at the Red Dalek. "Tell me, what do you fools think you are doing. You're such a disappointment, you lot area." "I thought we were amazing. We were fantastic. You love us!" "Yeah well, that's, that was before seeing this lot," the Doctor puffed, exaggeratingly. "What a mess. My God, and I do mean my God, could do better when he was like one. And as for the Time Tots on Gallifrey, we could better with a Loom and some toothpicks. You guys just tried to copy what you found on some Gallifrean time ship, didn't you? No, don't answer that." "You will help us or we will exterminate the boy." "Oh, oh, that. Yeah, was expectin that, you sods, miserable excuses for scientists. Now Davros..." "Do not mention the blasphemer! Do not mention!" "He was really a scientist..." "Can we get him?" Jeremy asked. "Mad as a hatter, insane, psycho, paranoid delusionalist with schizophrenic tendencies, murderous impulses..." "Forget I asked," Jeremy murmured. "Okay, here goes..." the Doctor took out the impulse device and the sonic screwdriver. "HALT THESE ACTIONS! HALT AT ONCE OR YOU WILL BE...." "Oh, for Pete's sake!" The Doctor snapped. "I need these if I'm to fix your botch job." "Explain! Explain at once!" "You see, I need the impulse device for power. I can't use any of your power because it's been corrupted by your mess of wiring here. It can't do any harm to any of you lot, you've proved that." "And the other device?" "Oh, this," the Doctor held it aloft. "Sonic screwdriver. You've never met that while meeting my other selves? My, my, you have been deprived. I need it for obvious reasons." Jeremy blushed. And laughed. "Here, Jeremy, catch!" Suddenly the Doctor tossed the impulse device to him. Jeremy caught it. "What do you want me to do with this thing?" The Doctor stuck his neck out. Literally. And was a bit more than sarcastic to his lover. "Push it." He motioned, "The top button." "STOP! HALT!" The Red Dalek turned to the other Daleks, "STUN HIM!" Jeremy pushed the button at the same time the Yellow Dalek fired a stun ray at him. He vanished and the ray passed through empty space. It hit the wall and sparks erupted. "Great! More stuff for me to have to repair! You lot suck!" "You ...what was that?" "Sorry, I threw the impulse device on, uhm, impulse." "What did it do to him? Where did he go, you will answer!!!" "I converted it," the Doctor strode around the room, "Made my own recall signal while fumbling around in my pockets. Used the impulse device, changed it. Now you'll never get your hands on him ever again." The Doctor's smile changed to a frown and he put his elbow on an alcove near the wall, " Trouble is...neither will I." Jeremy appeared in the console room where Jesse stood, pacing. He bumped right into Jeremy, his pace timed accidentally with Jeremy's appearance. Their chests met. They stared at each other, deeply into each other's eyes. Jesse kissed Jeremy on the mouth, deeply. Jeremy responded in kind and grabbed the back of Jesse's head. Jesse hugged Jeremy and put his head on Jeremy's shoulder. "I...I thought I saw...so glad you're here." "You can't get rid of me that easily!" "I thought you were dead!" Jesse hugged him tightly. "Jesse!" "Yeah!" "I can't breath." Jesse let go, "Oh. Phwar. What are you wearing?" "Clothes from a dead Latino boy. A boy who saved my life." "I know the feeling. I've seen lotsa people die over the last week. Jeremy, I saw the shuttle you were on burn up." "Oh that. Some space pirate like couple teleported me off." Jeremy looked around, "Where's K9?" "Right there, fully recharged now." "Oh good. About time." Jeremy moved over to K9 and put the impulse device near his nose, "K9, what do you make of this?" K9's nozzle came out. "Specify question, young master." "I mean can you get the Doctor's signal from this. It's what got me here. The Doctor set it to recall me to the TARDIS from the Dalek time machine. Can you get him back using it?" "Negative and positive, Master." "What does that mean?" Jesse leaned in on the two and put his hand on Jeremy back, under the short cut jacket he wore. "I cannot use it to bring the Master Doctor here but I can use it to track him." Jeremy looked and nodded, "I saw the Dalek time machine appear around me in Washington DC..." "You were in DC? What's it like in the future?" "Sucks." "Oh. Yeah, I guess it would." K9 moved his ears and wagged his tail. He floated upward, the impulse device magnetically drawn to and stuck on his nose. "I understand and will work on this at once, young master." "Good," Jeremy clasped his hands together and began to pace now, just like Jesse had been. "Doesn't do any good to pace," Jesse said. "Jeremy..." Jeremy stopped, his right hand on his chin. He looked over as K9 worked on the TARDIS console. "Oh, I know that, Jesse. Good God, it's good to see you again." Jesse put his arms out and Jeremy came over to him and hugged him again. At the same time, they said, "I don't want you to ever let go." They parted and punched each other's arm. "You owe me a soda!" They both said. " Again." Jesse smiled, "That's so gay." "Yeah, don't ever do that again." Jeremy laughed. "Ready!" K9 said. "Good boy, K9!" Jeremy waved, "Do it! Do it now!" "Do what?" "Make the TARDIS appear inside the Dalek time machine! Around the Doctor!" "It's very dangerous, young master." "Just do it!" Jeremy yelled, "If the Daleks could do it to save me on Earth ....then this TARDIS, a Time Lord machine should be able to..." "Appearing inside another time machine is different. Highly dangerous." "I don't care! I want the Doctor back." Jesse had grabbed Jeremy's shoulders but then he let go, defeatedly. "Just how badly did he want us back?" Jeremy listened but asked K9, "Can you do both at the same time? Appear and disappear? Land and take off both at the same time? If you can, do it!" Then he looked back at Jesse. "What? What do you mean?" "It's been, about what? A week? Where the hell was he? I almost died ten times over, everyone around me..." "Initiating." K9 complied. "Need you to hold that blue button down, young master." Jeremy ran to it and held it down. "Not now, Jesse, alright, not now!" Jeremy yelled as the TARDIS console's main rotor went up and down and the sound was so loud he had to yell above it to be heard. The room tilted as the TARDIS appeared around the Doctor. The Red Dalek yelled, "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" The others said the same thing and they all fired. The Doctor was already seeing the console room materialize around him. He put his hands up as rays came at him. "Forcefield on!" Jeremy yelled to K9. "On!" K9 yelled. The rays passed through the Doctor, through the nearly visible walls of the TARDIS. The Doctor looked down at his own chest and looked up at the Daleks, stunned he was not exterminated. He smiled. He waved, "Bye-bye!" The TARDIS appeared solidly around the Doctor but the vanishing sound was heard and it moaned and wheezed out of the Dalek time ship. The rays were firing and they blasted into the far wall and the Dalek console. The console sparked and flew to pieces. Jeremy fell off the blue button and the TARDIS shook and vibrated some more. More than it was already doing. The Doctor fell into Jesse, "Look out!" He tossed Jesse to the wicker chair and ran to the console, "What do you two think you're doing! K9, you're behind this, should have known!" He ran to the console and was all over it and pushed a lever in, jerked a stick up and down, and held a few levers down at once. He turned a rounded tubule. The TARDIS interior wavered and heated up. Everyone felt sick. "K9, you're always giving it to me like a dog sniffing me rear!" Jeremy yelled, "Don't yell at him!" He was on the floor in the corner. " It was me!" The room shook but then tilted sideways again. "I wanted to save you!" Jesse stood from the chair, "Yeah! At least we tried to save you! More than you did for us!" "Sit down!" The Doctor yelled as the hat stand fell, shelves came tumbling out of the closet and the console sparked. "I think....I should take you two over my knee!!!" Then it all stopped and the TARDIS dematerialization sound ended. "There....now you lot over my knee for a spanking..." He smiled. Jeremy was helped up by Jesse who hugged him. They looked at the Doctor. The screen came to life and they watched as the Dalek time machine, in the vortex, exploded into fragments. "Shooting their own guns or spouting their own conceits, either way, that's what you get. Also when you try to materialize a TARDIS inside another TARDIS. Oh, it wasn't a really well made TARDIS, like this one, old girl, was it?" He patted the console. "In a thrown together piece of junk like that, very dangerous. You could have blown her, my TARDIS, up, and all of you too. Still, there's compensation, I can take you two over my knee or elsewhere in my lap." Jeremy puffed, "This isn't a joke, Doctor." "Where the hell were you all this time?" Jesse let go of Jeremy and ran to the Doctor to puff his chest up in the Doctor's face. "Excuse me?" "While I was stranded on the Moon, blown up in a Moon Shuttle, nearly run down by another Moon Buggy, raped or nearly raped several times, explosively decompressed, fired on by Cybermen and Daleks, and just about missed being electrocuted in the seats on the Shuttle..." "I know. You were seat 911." The Doctor dropped his smile, "Not a good number...really." "You mean...you were there?" "Of course. When I finally was reunited with the TARDIS, almost forcibly when Space Force Two was blown up by the Space Station...I had to find the two of you. But saving someone who's already died in time is a tricky business. It has to be done carefully. If I didn't go back and put a fault in your seat then, you would have died again and stayed that way." "You put the fault in my seat?" Jesse dropped his anger. "Yes, I had to." The Doctor said and patted Jesse's head, "Couldn't lose you. You do terrific things with your mouth..." Which was open at the moment. "Yes, quite like that. Thanks for demonstrating." "Doctor. Then why didn't you stop it all? Why not save all of the other prisoners?" "I did. But as it turns out, it had to happen for them. I'm so sorry and not many of my companions, except for maybe Romana, understand this...the causality of time. See, the first time I saved them, I unwound time. People on that shuttle who survived did things...good thing, bad things, things that made time unravel far too much and change reality too much. I couldn't do that. Rose tried it once and nearly ended the universe. There are those lousy Reaper things. Repairing the wounds of time. Then there's the fact that many people who would have been born weren't and those who were born weren't. Or was that...? I don't know. People were born from their loins that shouldn't have been born. I couldn't be responsible for all that. I had to save just you. It was hard enough last time saving one boy on one Freighter but of course, he was about to hit the Earth in the far past and either wipe out all life or just dinosaur life and if I changed that, human beings would have never taken on Earth. Dinos, which you are fond of, would be the dominant life form on Earth. They would have never let humans come into being. Just laws of nature and all that, survival of the fittest." K9 translated, "He is discussing Adric Master." "I think we know that, K9," Jeremy said. K9 put his head down, "He is alive now." "Yes but it took me what? Some seven tries. And others tried as well and succeeded brilliantly where I'd failed so many times. I did get it right by the way. I think that's resulted in some seven different Adrics walking around right now. Luckily it's not effected time all that much." Jeremy came to the Doctor, "So you helped Jesse." "Damn right he did, the only one he helped, all those others..." Jesse said, "Von, Avar. They helped me. Good men." "A lot of men died during our time away from you, Doctor. Women and children too. Most of them were good." "I know. I've heard it all before. Tegan. She was always going on about how it's not fun." "Damn right, she was too," Jeremy yelled. "Where were you with me?" "I knew the Daleks would save you. I found that much out. By the way I saw your speech. I'm more than damned proud of you, Jeremy. Almost single handedly, you turned the corruption in the Earth government around with that one great speech." "And got my friends killed doing it." "I saw that and investigated that too. Unfortunately or fortunately...it all depends on how you look at it. Harn, you Hispanic friend, had to die that way. His brother led one of the strongest and most non violent resistance movements against the corruption. If he hadn't seen Harn, his bro, die on TV, he wouldn't have had the inner resolve to fight the brainwashing. And two others saw the murders. Two others in the government, Senators, a man and woman, helped him end it. The food is people thing. Gone. The farms opened for all. The pollution, gone. The brainwashing, gone. Which leads me to your friend Rob. In Rob...literally in him...scientists found his body full of cancer and the meds given to him. They found a way, good men they were, I helped them too. They used his body to find a way to not only stop cancer for good, all forms of it, but they also realized what the government had been doing as for brainwashing. Not even our Senators knew about that. So thanks to Rob's death, they found a cure for cancer and simultaneously a way to counteract the brainwashing gases that were piped in the air systems as well as the controlling stuff put in the food preservatives. In other words, the government's biological hold on the people was put down and that started things rolling." "How did his body get put into the hands of good scientists and not corrupt ones?" Jeremy didn't realize it but he had tears rolling out his eyes and down his cheeks. "Me." "Fucking shit, man." Jesse said. "Sucks, all round. For all of us. So many people died. Good ones. I wish we could have saved them all." "So do I." Jesse was still angry with him. "What the fuck do you know about it?" "I was with you both, every step of your adventures... though you didn't see me." The Doctor turned to Jesse from Jeremy, "And Jesse, even though, you gave up Lent, he wasn't about to give up on you. He wasn't a real Cyberman, you know. Those are much, much more dangerous." "More? Never want to meet them, then." "No." The Doctor said, "I'm sorry it couldn't have been a more conventional rescue this time, but it just couldn't. I tried it a few times with both of you and it ended badly for each of us." "Where were you? What happened to you?" "Ice Warriors and Fendeleen on Mars. The Ice Maidens were bad but, would you believe the feasting of death Fendeleen--well, one of them, this time was good. Helped me. The Earth President was trying to cause the end of the world so he could get more power and become a god." "Did he?" "He became a god of the sand and ashes variety maybe? He's dead. I killed him." The Doctor saw their shocked expressions. "Oh, not directly maybe but I left him and his men to die on Mars. And burn up when Space Force Two lifted off. More of his men died when the thing was about to hit the Space Station and they blasted it apart." "Doctor, I'm sorry we doubted you." "It wasn't Jeremy who did the doubting." "Yeah, well, I figured as much." Jesse frowned, "Sorry." "Oh no, Jesse, if it were me...I'd have thought the same thing. I'm sorry I ... that it had to go the way it did. I know neither of you had a good time of it out there. Adventures are not all light and fun, you know. Sometimes the nick of time isn't always for everyone. As I once told you both, this is real danger. Death for all of us. It's not just fun and games." "I remember," Jesse said. "You told us that. Now we've seen it." Jeremy looked around, "Boy, though, it sure is good to be back in the TARDIS, the real TARDIS, your TARDIS. There's nothing like it anywhere..." "No, it's home, my home..." "Our home," Jesse and Jeremy said together. The Doctor watched as they laughed, "God, that's soooooo gay." They laughed some more. The Doctor puffed and put his hands in his own pockets, "So did anything good happen on your journeys?" "I thought you were with us all the way?" Jeremy asked. Jesse thought. "I got one. By the way Doctor, I know you have the regular showers on board..." "Which you should both use by the way..." The Doctor sniffed. "And you don't get smelly." Jeremy smiled. "I don't." The Doctor offered. "What I mean is...Doctor, do you have a sonic shower on board? I could use me one of those..." Jesse smiled. The Doctor smiled. Jeremy looked confused. "Come Jeremy, I'll show you what he means..." He took the vest off Jeremy who was now completely bare chested. He put his arm around the boy's bare back and led him out of the console room. Jesse followed them, "And then?" "Then it's off for a nice long..." "Dick stop?" "Rest and relaxation on some lovely boy. No, just kidding..." The Doctor said as they walked down one of the TARDIS staircases. "A restful spot I know. The Eye of Orion. Ion particles there will get your bodies back in shape in no time at all. Not that they're not in shape now but you will get a good long rest." "Rather have the dick!" Jesse said. "Yeah, me too," Jeremy fell asleep standing up and in the Doctor's arm. The Doctor heaved him up and carried him. Jesse smiled, "One sonic shower cumming up!" TO BE CONTINUED... NEXT TIME: "What year is this? "8 billion! The year eight billion. I want you to see that the future is not all bad to see. Aliens are not all like the Daleks!" The Doctor whispered to Jeremy and Jesse, "You know there was a time I used to say the year followed by slash apples instead of just saying the year. Like the year 6 slash apple slash apple, damned near obnoxious that is, inn't it?" "Yeah," Jesse nodded. "I'll say." "Looks like the fuckin Outer Limits in here," Jesse nodded. "One of them is a former enemy of mine." "Oh fuck that shit, let's leave!" Doctor Who is a trademark of the BBC's. No infringement is meant at all. Of course not. Ni copyright infringement is meant.
