Arising From the Fall [4] (The Parallel Series) ✓

The Waters of Mars - Two

"Everyone, we're abandoning this section. Get to the shuttle. Yuri, lead the way. Section B corridor, now."

"Get that, and that."

"Close it!" Adelaide shouted.

"Yuri, did that water touch you?"

"I'm safe"

"Did it touch you?" Steffi asked staring at him.

"Yuri, did that water touch you?"

"I'm clean. I'm dry."

"Everyone section B is out."

"But we can get.-"

"Listen to me," Adelaide demanded.

"Take every pack that you can. We'll go round. We'll make our way out through Section F."

"Transferring oxygenation to Section F. Mia you take the redline stock. And hurry up!" She shouted.

"Steffi, come!"

"Steffi, get back!" Mia screamed. The Time Lady winced knowing what was most likely happening, someone was going to do. She looked at the Doctor who could see her pain and grabbed her hand softly squeezing. He didn't care if she was angry at him, she didn't deserve to go through this alone.

"Steffi, keep back."

"Get back!" Yuri demanded.

"Steffi!"

"Get back, Steffi!"

The Stone squeezed her eyes shut. She wished to help she really wanted to. Blocking out the rest of the screaming and shouting she slowly walked away from the Dome with the Doctor.

She opened her eyes again hearing Ed knowing he was on the shuttle and could easily destroy the ship. "Compromised. It was Maggie."

"Get out of there!" Adelaide screamed.

"Too late.They want this ship to get to Earth. Got no choice. Hated it, Adelaide. This bloody job. Argh. You never gave me a chance. You never could forgive me." He muttered sounding in complete pain.

"See you later."

The explosion then started throwing both Time Lords off their feet and into the red ground of mars.

"We're losing oxygen!" Yuri cried.

"The hull is broken!"

The Doctor gritted his teeth and started to slowly push himself up. The Stone looked at him seeing what he was looking at and shook her head at him. "Doctor." She warned. "Don't."

"We're the last." He looked at her standing up. "There's no one else whose to stop us from doing this?" He asked as her eyes widened in horror as she slowly stepped away from him. This was where she couldn't do anything he had to see for himself and she hoped with both her hearts that he would realise what he was doing was a big mistake. "Stone there is no one but us. We can do this."

"It's a fixed point!" She shouted at him deeply breathing. "This is why only Time Lords should travel in time! To stop things like this from happening. Doctor, there were rules for a reason rules-"

"Rules?" He scoffed. "Since when have you listened to the rules?"

"I may not agree and follow the rules just like you but this is one rule we cannot break. We took an oath we both swore to never break it. We promised-"

"Who did we promise?" He asked. After gaining no answer he asked again. "Who did we promise?"

"The high council."
