Chapter 11
Rose hit the ground, the Doctor on top of her, dodging the triton. They looked up to see the Pythia stabbing the triton down on them and they rolled in opposite directions to get out of the way. They both stood up and the Pythia faltered for a moment deciding who to go after first. She quickly decided on the Doctor. Rose ran toward her, but, without even looking, she swung the triton and some force threw Rose all the way across the hall, where she hit the base of the statue of Omega and fell to the ground.
“Rose!” the Doctor called out.
“I’m alright!” she called, somewhat truthfully, as she sat up. “Is the triton magic?!”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” scoffed the Doctor as he dodged the Pythia’s stabs. “There’s no such thing as magic!” He ran up the steps to the throne and ducked behind it.
“Then what was that?” said Rose.
“You know how the triton of Neptune was supposed to control the sea?” He climbed up onto the base of the statue of Rassilon.
“Yeah.”
“Well the triton of the Pythia manipulates the laws of physics.”
“You Time Lords explain everything away with your science,” said the Pythia. She thrust the triton upwards and the Doctor flew, head over feet, into the middle of the hall.
“Ow!” said the Doctor pointedly at the Pythia.
“The Time Lords took everything!” she shot a sonic blast at the Doctor, but he hit the floor and it blew a hole in wall behind him. She came up on him fast, before he could get up and stabbed the triton down at his head.
“Doctor,” Rose shouted in a panic.
************
“You really think you can get the navigation back up?” asked Spencer.
“He can do anything with computers,” said Jake. “Genius, he is.”
“Thanks,” said Mickey “I was a mechanic too, so I know a thing or two about engines, but nautical engines are a bit different, so you should be helping,” he said to Spencer.
“What do I know,” said Spencer. “You’re the genius.”
“It’s your sub!” said Jake.
“T’ain’t mine,” said Spencer. “It’s Torchwood’s. They just got taught me how to pilot it.”
“So glad we got you,” sniped Jake.
“Will you two stop bickering!” said Mickey. “You’re not making it any easier.”
“Sorry, luv” said Jake. Everyone froze. Mickey stared at Jake. “I mean, Mickey.”
They held each other’s gaze. “Did you just-“
“It was a slip,” said Jake quickly. “Sorry.”
Mickey didn’t look away.
“Oh, you’re breaking my heart,” Spencer interrupted. “We’ve got five hours until we suffocate to death, so could you save that for later?”
The looked away from each other and Mickey continued to work on the navigation.
************
The Doctor was pinned to the ground. The two long prongs of the triton on either side of his neck and the short middle prong grazing his adam’s apple.
“Tell me why it is that your aura is so close to Thomas’s,” said the Pythia. “Tell me why you feel so much like him.”
“I don’t know,” said the Doctor. “I honestly don’t know.”
“When Peylix died. Thomas was all I had left, but Rassilon turned him against me.”
“Omega didn’t die,” said the Doctor.
“What?” the Pythia was awestruck.
“Omeg-, um, Peylix was transported to another universe, an anti-matter universe, through the black hole.”
The Pythia removed her triton and the Doctor sat up, rubbing his neck. She stumbled backwards. “He survived the black hole?”
“Yes, but-“
“Then I shall bring him back!” she raised her triton and the cavern began to shake.
“No, you can’t. He was destroyed!”
“You said he was alive!” a beam shot out of the triton, whatever she was doing it was happening on the surface.
***************
“Oh my god!” said Jake looking out the window of the sub.
“I think it’s rather the other thing,” said Spencer breathlessly.
“Mickey, look.”
Mickey raised his head to look out of the sub and saw a red beam with a black center rising from the sea bed.
***************
“What the hell is that?!” exclaimed Captain Pearce.
“Possibly the end of the world,” said Pete. “Again.”
The beam rose into the sky and the clouds began to swirl around it.
****************
“Doctor, what is she doing?” screamed Rose over the gale that was whipping through the cavern.
“She’s opening a black hole! Listen to me,” he addressed the Pythia. “Omega is not alive! Even if he were, you couldn’t set him free by simply opening another black hole! They don’t work that way! They don’t always lead somewhere and two black holes never lead to the same place.”
“You think you know everything, Time Lord!” said the Pythia. “I trust in my triton. It will bring him back to me.”
“From this cavern, you are opening black holes in two universes! Two entire Earths will be sucked in! You’d be killing over sixteen billion people!”
“This world is forfeit and all its fauna. Only Gallifrey matters! Only my friends!”
The Doctor moved to tackle her, but she reacted quickly, she took the triton from its task momentarily and thrust it into the Doctor’s chest. To Rose everything moved in slow motion. She saw the two long prongs pierce both his hearts. She saw his eyes widen and his legs falter. For a moment it looked like the Pythia was a puppeteer, propping up the ragdoll Doctor. Then she tugged the triton out of him and he dropped, lifeless, to the ground.
Rose ran to him and dropped to his side. “Doctor?! Doctor?!” She didn’t even hear the Pythia laughing behind her. She gathered him up into her lap, stroking his face. His eyes were wide and unseeing. There was not a spark of life in him. “Doctor? Doctor, you’re gonna be okay. I know you are. You’re gonna regenerate right? Right?” Deep in her gut she knew this was not true. There was no glow, no breath. Just a body and blood. So much blood.
“I shall suffer no more,” said the Pythia, having returned her triton to it’s task. “This cage will fall! And I shall join my kin in the next world!”
