The Golden Angel (Doctor who Fanfiction)

Flesh and Stone

"The hull is breached and the power's failing," Octavian said, and the lights flickered again and an arm of a weeping angel was now visible

"Sir, incoming." One of Octavian clerics said as the Doctor started sonicking the piece of machinery River was previously working on.

"Doctor? Lights." Amy said, as the lights flickered once again and four angels were now inside the corridor.

"Clerics, keep watching them," Octavian said,

"And don't look at their eyes. Anywhere else. Not the eyes. I've isolated the lighting grid. They can't drain the power now." The Doctor said as the lights stopped flickering,

"Good work, Doctor." Octavian said,

"Yes. Good, good, good. Good in many ways. Good, you like it so far." The Doctor said,

"So far?" Amy asked,

"Well, there's only one way to open this door. I guess I'll need to route all the power in this section through the door control." The Doctor said,

"Good. Fine. Do it." Octavian said,

" But he would have to turn out all the lights," Alyssa said,

"How long for?" Octavian asked,

"Fraction of a second. Maybe longer. Maybe quite a bit longer."

"Maybe?" Octavian said,

"I'm guessing. We're being attacked by statues in a crashed ship. There isn't a manual for this." The Doctor said,

"Doctor, we lost the torches. We'll be in total darkness." Amy said, and the Doctor walked to her,

No other way." The Doctor said before walking over to Octavian said "Bishop."

"Doctor Song, I've lost good Clerics today. You trust this man and women?" Octavian said addressing River,

"I absolutely trust them."

"There not some madman and madwomen then?" Octavian said, and she hesitated

"I absolutely trust them" she said again,, the Doctor then pulled Alyssa with him back to a machinery

"Excuse me." He said and started getting to work on doing what he just said, Alyssa helping him as she watched Octavian pull River aside

"I'm taking your word, because you're the only one who can manage this guy. But that only works so long as he doesn't know who you are. You cost me any more men, and I might just tell him. Understood?" Octavian said

"Understood." River said before turning around, and closing the hatch she was working on

"Okay, Doctor. We've got your back." Octavian said to the Doctor,

"Bless you. Bishop." the Doctor said and began working again

"Combat distance, ten feet. As soon as the lights go down, continuous fire. Full spread over the hostiles. Do not stop firing while the lights are out. Shotgun protocol. We don't have bullets to waste." Octavian said, talking to his Clerics who did what he said, readying their guns for continuous fire. The Doctor pulled Alyssa and Amy over to the wheel that was on the bulkhead,

"Alyssa Amy, when the lights go down, the wheel should release. Spin it clockwise four turns."

"Ten," Alyssa said, as she put her hands on the wheel, the Doctor turned around in confusion, just like Amy was doing

"No, four. Four turns." The Doctor corrected

"Yeah, four. I heard you." She said, she sighed a bit when she realized what was happening, she had meant to say four but it came out as ten.
