THE VICTORIOUS TIME LORD AND THE BATTLE OF 9 11

Chapter Thirteen

Rose's heart stopped when she saw the Ninth Doctor standing with her Doctor and two strangers. She tried to go to her two Doctors but the possessed Doctor slammed his hand on her chest and gave her a menacing look.

"Let her go," Ten growled at his double.

"No, you want her to go to the other universe; I won't let you take her from me."

"You git, you're mucking with the timelines, don't you get that?" Nine said, stepping towards him.

"No, I'm fixing the timelines, there's a difference," the possessed Doctor said. "So stay back before I do something you'll regret."

Eleven stepped towards him and the possessed Doctor whipped out his laser gun and aimed it at his right heart. Eleven stopped.

"Who are you?" Eleven said to him.

The possessed Doctor sniggered at that.

"Who am I? What's wrong, regeneration make you senile this time around?" he said.

"I'm speaking to the being possessing the Doctor's body. Identify yourself," Eleven said.

Rose looked at the possessed Doctor with a new understanding while he pretended not to understand him.

"Who are you?" Eleven said. "The Doctor wouldn't do all this. He certainly wouldn't paralyze his friends and try to force Rose to come with him. You're not in your right mind and it's because something is possessing you. I saw your eyes flash when we were prisoners in the TARDIS, now out with it! Tell me who you are?"

"I don't know what you're talk…"

The possessed Doctor cried out in pain when Rose seized his fingers and jerked them backwards. She wiggled out from behind him and sprinted to Nine and Ten. Both Doctors closed in around her, protecting her while Amy came around and stood in front.

"Little bitch," the possessed Doctor growled at her.

"Now that's something the Doctor would never say to her," Eleven said. "And I should know since I'm him. You're being controlled, Doctor, fight it!"

"He's the Doctor too?" Rose said softly.

Ten looked over his shoulder and smiled at her.

"Seems so, I'm getting a sneak preview of my next life," he said to her.

"Nothing to write home about," Nine said. "But then again, neither is the tenth life."

Rose held her laughter in when Ten gave him a dirty look. Rose took a couple of steps to the Doctor's left and peeked around him to get a better look at the Eleventh Doctor. Her eyebrows raised when she liked what she saw. While Eleven kept on demanding the possessed Doctor drop the pretense and identify himself, Rose walked over to Amy's back.

"Are you with him?" Rose said softly to her.

Amy looked over her shoulder and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm Amy Pond and that's my husband, Rory," she said, pointing to Rory. "Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, you too," Rose said with a smile.

"Nice to know the latest and future companions are becoming bestest buddies now," Ten said to Nine.

Eleven let out a frustrated sigh.

"For the last time, identify yourself!" he said to the possessed Doctor.

For a moment, nothing happened and then suddenly Ten's eyes began to glow and he threw back his head and a woman's laugh came from him.

"Please don't let this be Cassandra again," Ten muttered while he watched.

"Who are you?"

"Your worst nightmare!" the possessed Doctor said, speaking in a woman's voice.

"Hey, wanna set us free so we can get away from the possessed Time Lord? Anyone?" Jack said while he, Mickey and Rory tried to break free.

Amy ran over to Mickey. She ripped the chip off and ripped Rory's chip off but before she could get to Jack, the possessed Doctor raised his hand and a beam of energy came out of it and hit the Time Lord directly in the chest.

"Doctor!" Amy said to Eleven as the force of the beam carried him twenty feet across the room.

Eleven landed hard on the floor and gasped when the wind was knocked out of him. Amy quickly ripped the chip off Jack's neck and Jack spun around and tried to stop the possessed Doctor but he was thrown backwards by another energy beam. Another female laugh came out of the possessed Time Lord and Amy quickly sprinted to Rory's side while Nine and Ten ordered everyone to get behind them. Eleven scrambled to his feet and joined his counterparts while the possessed Doctor snickered.

"Ooooh Roooose, come here, my love, and be with me," he said with the female voice. "You and I were meant to be together! Come, my darling, and I'll save you!"

"Leave her alone," Ten growled.

"Leave her alone," the possessed Doctor said in a snotty voice.

The possessed Doctor flung a beam of energy at Ten, knocking him back into Rose. Nine gritted his teeth and tried to rush him but he was sent backwards while the possessed Doctor laughed.

"Who are you?" Eleven said while Ten helped Rose to her feet.

"My, my, you're nosy, aren't you? Well, if you must know, my name is Lorlana."

"What species?" Nine said.

Lorlana smirked.

"Eternal," she said proudly.

She laughed when all three Doctors stared at her in silent shock.

"Can't be, the Eternals aren't evil," Eleven said.

"And how much do you really know about the Eternals, Doctor?" Lorlana said. "Eternals have free will and I decided that it was much better to be bad. Lot more fun too."

"What do you want with us?" Nine said.

"Well, for starters, I want to destroy you so I can plunge the universe into chaos. That way I can start from scratch and make a universe I would enjoy. You, Time Lord, are a being of light, a defender of this universe, you and your so-called Children of Time. You must all die!"

"But why me?" Rose said. "Why did you need to prevent me from going to the other universe?"

"Because today is a turning point," Eleven said to her. "You needed to go so the Doctor could meet someone called Donna who would be vital to the safety of the universe further down the road. There are a few more people my past self needs to meet after you've gone and he wouldn't have done it if you'd been with him. If you don't go to the other universe, Rose, all universes will eventually be destroyed."

Rose was stunned into silence while Nine and Ten shared a look. Ten glanced at Rose, saw how upset she was and both he and Nine took her hands, trying to give her comfort in the wake of the Earth shattering revelation. Amy and Rory gave her a sympathetic look when she tried to hide her emotions and keep calm. Rose couldn't help but be afraid. She had rarely seen the look of shock and dismay that she had seen on the Doctors' faces when Lorlana announced who she was and she figured that meant they knew who she was and that she wasn't one to be trifled with. So when ten male security guards came storming into the room, she knew enough to try to warn them to stay back. Nine let go of Rose's hand and Ten kept holding her's as everyone except Lorlana ran for cover the moment the guards raised their revolvers and started firing at Lorlana. Lorlana reached into the Doctor's pocket and took out a tiny metal ball. She pushed a button on top and threw it at the retreating group. The moment it hit the floor a force field dome covered the captives. Amy, who was at the head of the group, grunted when she hit the side and gritted her teeth when everyone else ran into her. Eleven turned and watched while Lorlana put an organic force field around the possessed Doctor's body, protecting it while the guards fired at her. Using the protection of the force field, she fired her energy beams at the guards, knocking them backwards until all of them were subdued. The captives watched in horror as the force field moved with Lorlana as she walked to the first guard, jerked his head up and broke his neck.

"No, stop!" Ten said from his prison. "Run, all of you, before she does the same to you!"

The other guards looked at their dead comrade and Lorlana laughed when they scrambled to their feet and run towards the door. Lorlana fired her energy beam at their backs, laughing when the guards she hit stumbled and fell before getting back up and trying to get out of the room. When she turned to her captives, the Doctors and Jack had gathered around everyone, protecting them. Lorlana laughed as she came over to the prison.

"You honestly think you'll be able to protect them from me, Time Lords? You wish to match your puny strength and skills against an Eternal?"

"Let them go and take us," Nine said, gesturing to Ten and Eleven.

"How noble but I'd rather torment you by holding those you care about prisoner. And now that I have all of you as my prisoners, I believe the real fun can begin," she said.
