A/N - I'm not a fan of the ending, but I'm leaving it for now.


"I heard her talking. This is a trap," she said, "Why would I lie to you?"

"Well, you might want to take a look at your uniform," Rory said.

"The only reason I joined the Clerics was so I could meet the Doctor again."

"You wanted to meet him, so you joined an army to fight him?" Jenny asked.

"Well, how else do you meet a great warrior?"

"He's not a warrior," Amy told her.

"Then why is he called the Doctor?"

The lights started to go out.

"It's starting. Please, listen to me."

"But no one else is here but us," Rory said.

Strax pulled out his device and scanned. "Confirmed. No life forms registering on this base, except us and the Silurians," he said.

"The Headless Monks aren't alive. They don't register as life forms," Lorna told him.

Vastra and Jenny rejoined them.

"Where's the Doctor?" Elise asked.

"He's coming," Vastra told her.

A white cone of light appeared around the TARDIS.

"What's that?" Amy asked.

Vastra approached the TARDIS, but her hand was stopped. "A force field."

There were loud thuds.

"And those are the doors. Locking," Lorna said.

"Apparently we're not leaving," Vastra told them.

There was chanting that was getting louder by the second.

"Is that the Monks?" Rory asked.

"Oh, dear God. That's the attack prayer," Dorium said.

"Quick, come with me," Rory told Amy and Elise.

"Commander Strax!" Vastra yelled.

"I'm trying to seal off this area of the lighting grid."

"This is where we'll make our stand. Clear lines of sight on all approaches." Rory led them over to a stack of boxes.

"Rory, no offense to the others, but you let them all die first, okay?" Amy said.

"You're so Scottish," Rory told her.

Amy laughed and they kissed.

"Centurion, you're needed!" Vastra called.

Rory kissed Melody on the head and then did the same to Elise. The Doctor wasn't here to comfort her, so he would instead.

"Be careful," Elise told him.

He nodded and then left them alone.

Amy and Elise listened to the chanting and there was a swish and a thud.

"Mister Maldovar?" Vastra asked.

"Dorium?" Rory asked.

"The child. At all costs, protect the child!"

Elise burrowed into Amy's side as they listened to the gunfire. Melody was crying and Elise was doing her best to be brave. Then Melody exploded in Amy's arms.
